Focus on Stafford, not standings

BRIAN Pritchard will tell his players not to be distracted by the table while they prepare for a crucial double-header.
Witton visit Stafford Rangers tomorrow, Saturday, further adrift of a position of safety after results in midweek were unfavourable.
Stamford visit Wincham next Tuesday.
However they have games in hand – four in Frickley Athletic's case – on teams immediately above them.
"Our task hasn't changed," said the Albion boss.
"Sides who like us are attempting to avoid relegation have set us a challenge, and it's up to us now to respond.
"The way things are heading, it's likely that we'll need to reach a higher points total than has been required to stay safe in previous seasons. We're conscious of that.
"Most important, at least for now, is that we're in control of our own situation."
A 2-2 draw with title hopefuls Chorley last weekend – a game Witton led 2-0 for almost an hour – followed a 3-2 victory at home to Nantwich Town.
With club captain Anthony Sheehan again after recovering from long-term injury, plus striker Dave Walker returning to the squad to face his former club at Marston Road, Pritchard is feeling optimistic.
However, his side's form away from Wincham is a worry – Witton have failed to win on the road in the Premier Division since October.
Even Stafford, 11 points adrift of Albion in the drop zone, have picked up more points in the past half a dozen games.
"We need to improve our away form," added Pritchard.
"On too many occasions we've played well, but not done ourselves justice in terms of the result. We'll continue to chip away though.
"The past two matches have been a massive improvement, and I'm disappointed we've not had anything close to the credit we deserved for last weekend's game [against Chorley]."
Stafford have improved since replacing former Northwich Victoria manager Andy Mutch with ex-Alty legend Graham Heathcote, beating fellow strugglers Droylsden and Stocksbridge as well as holding play-offs hopefuls Blyth Spartans.
They were thrashed 5-0 in Northwich in October, when the hosts scored four goals in the opening 20 minutes.
Pritchard said: "It won't be easy; I'll never expect a team managed by Graham Heathcote to roll over for anybody.
"He's experienced, and will want to put one over on us."

text: Tulsa, UCF in line for C-USA title showdown By Doug Smock November 9, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Tulsa and Central Florida are going full speed ahead toward a collision in the eighth Conference USA championship game, as both are undefeated in league play and enjoying a lead of better than a game.Technically, UCF (7-2, 5-0) is just a game ahead of East Carolina (6-4, 5-1) in the East, but the Knights have flicked away ECU and Marshall (4-5, 3-2), thus owning all tiebreakers.Tulsa (7-2, 5-0) enjoys a two-game advantage over Southern Methodist (4-5, 3-2) and Houston (4-5, 3-2) in the West, but the Golden Hurricane must play both, beginning with the Cougars today. Most interesting is the Hurricane's Nov. 17 home game against UCF, a game that could set the home team for the Dec. 1 C-USA title game.That game takes place on the home field of the team with the best conference record. With Tulsa and UCF playing in the regular season, a tie between the teams would easily be broken.Houston, which plays at Marshall a week from today, isn't trying to get back in the division race as much as it is trying to keep its dwindling bowl hopes alive. Outside confidence in the Cougars is not high - most if not all national writers who dare to project bowls don't see Houston becoming eligible.The way they have played the last three weeks, who could blame said writers? On Oct. 18, the Cougars coughed up the ball a mind-numbing nine times in a 72-42 loss at SMU. After a better-than-it looks 45-35 win over Texas-El Paso (2-7, 1-4), the Cougars fell 48-28 at ECU.The Pirates took a 28-0 lead late in the second quarter on the arm of Shane Carden, who threw for 215 of his 305 yards to that point. Houston clipped that lead to 34-21 with 11:26 left, but Vintavious Cooper scored on a 22-yard run and Ty Holmes returned David Piland's 10th interception of the year for a touchdown.Houston was crushed in time of possession, with ECU holding the ball 44 minutes. The reason is simple: The Cougars were 3 of 12 on third downs, the Pirates 12 of 20."Specifically, offensively our margin for error is so slim. We can't have an incomplete pass and get to 2nd and 10, run the ball for 3 yards and get to third-and-8," said Houston coach Tony Levine. "We need to be efficient and gain 4 yards or more on first down, so when we get to third down, it's third-and-short."nnUCF may be playing Tulsa in a week, but today's assignment is a game at UTEP and the finale is a home game against Alabama-Birmingham (2-7, 1-4) - not necessarily the toughest games. UTAP has clinched its seventh straight losing season, with one 6-7 campaign including a bowl loss. Is coach Mike Price on his way out after nine years?That's not as certain as this: Freshman Blaire Sullivan is expected to get his first start against UCF, possibly unseating struggling quarterback Nick Lamaison. Sullivan engineered four touchdowns in the second half against Houston two weeks ago, throwing for two and rushing for 53 yards.The UCF-UTEP game matches the deans of Conference USA coaching in Price and George O'Leary. With the Knights moving to the Big East, a Price firing would put the "dean" title on two unlikely candidates - Rice's David Bailiff and Mario Cristobal of incoming Florida International. Both would enter their seventh season in 2013.nnMemphis played in front of about 18,000 fans last week against Marshall. In the next three weeks, the Tigers might not see that many live bodies combined.The Tigers' last three opponents - Tulane, Alabama-Birmingham and Southern Mississippi - have a combined record of 4-23. The first and last of those are played at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium; the middle game at Legion Field. Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast drew the shortest of short draws, getting stuck with the Memphis-Southern Miss game at 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 24. Of course, the Golden Eagles were an attractive bet when the schedule was set, as they were defending C-USA champions.Contact Doug Smock at 304-348-5130 or email@example.com, or follow him at twitter.com/dougsmock.

Was it conservatism or pragmatism that made Graeme Smith delay his declaration on the last day till his team was ahead by 388 runs? Whatever it was, it cost South Africa a 2-0 win in the series perhaps. In these T20 times when strange numbers adorn scoreboards every once in a while, time-honoured standards have perhaps ceased to have much meaning. And yet, it is interesting that despite all the risk-taking that goes on in T20 cricket, no Test captain is willing to even mildly jeopardise a Test series lead at any cost.
These are the highest impact players from the absorbing New Zealand-South Africa Test series that just concluded.
The highest impact bowler often is the highest impact player in a Test series (perhaps demonstrating the old adage about bowlers winning Test matches) and this one has not been an exception. Vernon Philander's 21 wickets at 16 runs apiece, given the context of his series-defining performance, registers a whopping 5.62 on the IMPACT scale (that rare occasion when a player's Series IMPACT exceeds 5). Besides taking wickets of all shapes and hues (top, middle or lower-order) Philander also had the highest Pressure Building IMPACT in the series (impact of taking quick wickets in succession which registers pressure on the opposition).
The highest impact batsman in the series averaged 44 in the series while there were 5 batsmen who averaged more than him and 3 batsmen who tallied more runs than him. AB de Villiers' innings of 83 in the second Test was the main reason why he had the highest impact with the bat, as it turned out to be a series-defining innings in the only result match of the series.
Dale Steyn, with 9 wickets (at 27 runs apiece), was the 3rd highest impact player – again, there were 3 bowlers who had higher wicket tallies and better bowling averages than him, but Steyn figures here because of his bowling in the decisive 2nd Test (5-80). Interestingly, he had the highest Economy IMPACT in the series.
Mark Gillespie was New Zealand's highest impact player – the third-highest impact bowler in the series (after Philander and Steyn) – he took 11 wickets at 23 apiece. Interestingly, he broke the most partnerships in the series (Partnership Breaking IMPACT).
Kane Williamson was New Zealand's highest impact batsman – his innings of 77 in the decisive second Test (which his team lost) and unbeaten 102 in the third Test (where he saved New Zealand from a 0-2 series loss) suggests the arrival of perhaps a major player. It is always notable when a young batsman absorbs pressure successfully…and Williamson absorbed the most pressure in this series amongst batsmen from both sides (his Pressure IMPACT of 1.20 almost double that of the second-highest on this count - AB de Villiers.)
Morne Morkel was the third-highest impact South African bowler in the series (10 wickets at 23 runs apiece; IMPACT 2.03) – he was outstanding in only one innings of the series when he got 6-23 in 17 overs in the last innings of the series (all the 6 wickets to fall in the innings were his) but still could not bring South Africa victory, as Kane Williamson (and later, to a smaller extent, van Wyk and Bracewell) could not be removed. Interestingly, Morne Morkel was also the only player who came really close to having an all-round impact in the series (crossing an IMPACT of 1 in both batting and bowling) – and even he very narrowly missed it (Batting IMPACT 0.98).
Graeme Smith made the most runs in the series (282 at an average of 56) – he was particularly outstanding in the first drawn Test (60% of his series runs came in this match itself) and his series performance was notable for the partnerships he built right through.
Doug Bracewell was the last player in the series to cross an IMPACT of 2. His 9 wickets at 38 apiece (Bowling IMPACT 1.65) was complemented by some useful tail-end batting twice (especially the 20 in 59 balls he made in the last innings of the series to save the match for New Zealand with Williamson).
The highest impact batting performances of the series –
AB de Villiers' performance in the 2nd Test (83 when the score was 88-6 at one stage, match very much in balance – the 68-run first innings lead he helped South Africa get was the key difference; Batting IMPACT 6.88 – this also eventually became a series defining effort).
New Zealand's highest impact performance was also the second-highest batting performance of the series - Kane Williamson in the 3rd Test (39 and 102 not out in 228 balls after coming in to bat at 1 for 2 in the second innings and saving the 3rd Test; Batting IMPACT 7.33 on a match level – but not series defining, as his team lost).
The highest impact bowling performances of the series –
Vernon Philander in the 2nd Test (4-70 and 6-44 in the match; Bowling IMPACT 6.42 – a series defining effort).
For New Zealand, it was Doug Bracewell's bowling in the 1st Test (2-52 and 3-70 in the match; Bowling IMPACT 3.49).
All in all (for players who played more than 1 Test) 5 South African players registered an IMPACT over 2, for New Zealand, there were 3 such players. It partly reflects the margin by which South Africa won. While New Zealand's Team IMPACT of 1.65 vis-à-vis South Africa's Team IMPACT of 2.13 in the series somewhat completes that picture.
So, the better side won, and will perhaps soon go on to regain their no. 1 position in Test cricket (depending on how much England struggle in Sri Lanka). New Zealand's biggest gain was their young guns firing salvos of much promise.
To have two 21-year-olds bat out time to save a Test match – the future can't be so bleak – despite the T20 hijinks.

Photo Gallery: Kelly Wearstler's House
See the design star's home.
A sweeping staircase adds traditional glamour to a unique foyer.
This custom, Jackson Pollack inspired wallpaper was created by Porter Teleo for celebrity designer Kelly Wearstler. "I designed it to look like art work," says Kelly, author of the book, Hue. "Between the graphic and linear carpet runner and the organic wall covering, the balance is really cool."
See more pictures of Kelly's house, Hillcrest Estate in Beverly Hills, in our photo gallery. Plus, see a photo gallery of her work.
California sunlight brightens and instantly modernizes a classic hall.
"The chair is early-19th century, the busts are from a stage set and the two French commodes are from the '30s," says Kelly. "The green and black marble floor ties it all together."
Form meets function in this kitchen, thanks to banks of storage, a huge island and art deco bar stools.
"This was an all-new kitchen," says Kelly Wearstler, the celebrity designer and author of the book, Hue.
"It comes off of the family room, so it needed to feel pretty and residential. I worked with a cabinet guy to create the whole kitchen in stainless steel with brass detailing, including covered refrigerator and freezer doors."
See more pictures of Kelly's house, Hillcrest Estate in Beverly Hills, in our photo gallery. Plus, see photos of her work.
Luxe leather furniture, paneling and classic symmetry elevate this eclectic room design.
"I think this room shows that you can mix different types of chairs and different scales — everything doesn't need to be upholstered," says Kelly. "It also proves that all neutral doesn't have to be boring."
Custom wallpaper on the ceiling adds graphic punch and contrast to an elegant chandelier.
Colours and textures collide in this unique space. "This is the one room my husband doesn't like," admits Kelly Wearstler, the celebrity designer and author of the book, Hue.
"But I love the big head on the table, and the vintage sofas. I had them redone in wisteria leather—they look like shells."
See more pictures of Kelly's house, Hillcrest Estate in Beverly Hills, in our photo gallery. Plus, see a photo gallery of her work.
In this principal bedroom, a glittering chandelier and elaborate millwork exude warmth and luxury.
All of the furniture is vintage, which just takes the design to another level," Kelly says. "The only thing new is the mirrored cabinet on the far wall, which opens up the whole room."
A bronze sculpture and modern leather chair work with old-world style mouldings and furniture.
"I love masculine things," says Kelly. "This room is just so warm and cosy."
Luxe marble and gilt details create a unique bathroom.
"This bathroom looks vintage, but it's all brand new," says Kelly. "The Shagreen cabinetry, sexy lighting and a skylight make it such a warm space — I love being in there."
Mirrors broaden this already expansive master bathroom.
"I love the detailing of the marble columns by the bath," Kelly says. "Also, the marble work is so organic, yet very sophisticated."
A bold yellow and coral palette, in combination with the shapely bed and lighting, exude femininity and charm.
"I found the Italian 1950s chairs and had them redone in ruched leather," explains Kelly.
"As for the yellow, it's a very bright room that needed a sunny colour."
A custom maple burl wood bed adds rustic charm to a refined space.
"This is my son, Elliott's room," Kelly says. "The wallpaper is textured like crocodile, so it's playful but sophisticated. The commodes also have snakes as handles."

text: Suit by respirator maker blames black lung on Massey By Ken Ward Jr. July 20, 2011 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Lawyers for one of the nation's largest makers of respirators have opened a new legal front in a longstanding dispute over black lung disease: a suit seeking to hold the former Massey Energy responsible for illnesses that miners have blamed on allegedly faulty breathing devices.Attorneys for Mine Safety Appliances, or MSA, filed the suit Wednesday against Massey's new owner, Alpha Natural Resources, in Mingo Circuit Court. They also named former Massey CEO Don Blankenship as a defendant.Basically, the complaint alleges that Massey officials for years did not comply with federal regulations that require mine operators to maintain proper ventilation and limit miners' exposure to coal dust that causes deadly black lung disease.MSA lawyers filed the complaint to make Alpha a third-party defendant in an existing suit filed by one-time Massey foreman Dusty Dotson, who developed lung disease after working for years in underground coal mines.The suit by Dotson against MSA is one of hundreds of such cases filed in the coalfields against manufacturers of respirators such as MSA and 3M Corp. that miners allege were faulty and caused or contributed their black lung disease.But MSA argues the blame really lies with Massey, citing repeated ventilation and dust-control violations at three different operations where Dotson worked, including the Aracoma Alma No. 1 Mine where two workers died in a January 2006 fire.MSA is expected to file more suits in similar situations in response to allegations that its respirators were to blame for miners' contracting black lung. "For years, our company has been the target of these lawsuits, and we think that target has to shift," said Mark Deasy, a spokesman for Cranberry Township, Pa.-based MSA. "You have to look at the root cause."Officials from Alpha Natural Resources offered no immediate comment on the MSA complaint.The case by MSA comes as the Obama administration works to finalize new regulations to toughen the legal limits for coal dust in underground mines, and amid new scientific studies that show miners continue to die from black lung, despite a 1969 federal law that set eliminating the disease as a national goal.And in May, an independent investigation of the April 2010 disaster at Massey's Upper Big Branch Mine reported the "alarming finding" that 71 percent of the disaster victims had black lung. "There's just no doubt in my mind that we have a problem here that we have to fix," Joe Main, assistant secretary of labor for the Mine Safety and Health Administration, said in a recent interview. "People are still getting black lung in this country."Black lung, or coal workers' pneumoconiosis, is a collection of debilitating and potentially fatal ailments caused by breathing coal dust. In 1969, Congress made eliminating the disease a national priority, with a law that required coal operators to take steps to limit exposure. The law greatly reduced black lung among the nation's miners. Still, nearly 10,000 coal miners nationwide have died in the last decade from black lung.More recently, scientists have found that black lung is on the rise again. Researchers have warned of a doubling of black lung rates since 1997, and of a rise in the disease among younger miners whose entire careers took place under the 1969 dust limits.Under the law, mine operators are required to use elaborate ventilation systems and water sprays to control the buildup of coal dust to prevent black lung and protect against fires and explosions. Generally, mine operators are allowed to use respirators only to supplement proper ventilation and other controls, not as a substitute for such protections. In part because of state laws limiting lawsuits directly against employers, miners with black lung have filed hundreds of suits against MSA and 3M Corp., alleging faulty respirators they used in the mines did not provide the protection promised by the manufacturers.The new legal complaint filed by MSA involves the case of Dotson, who has worked for a variety of Massey operations since 1995. In January 2006, Dotson was a foreman at the Aracoma Mine when the deadly fired occurred. State inspectors cited Dotson personally for ventilation violations that played a major role in the deaths of miners Ellery Hatfield and Don Bragg.Earlier this year, Dotson sued MSA, alleging that faulty respirators played a role in his developing serious lung disease.But in its complaint, MSA noted more than 4,700 violations related to ventilation and coal dust at Massey's Aracoma Mine during the decade that Dotson worked there. The complaint noted dozens more violations at other Massey operations where Dotson was employed."If defendant Dotson is injured as he alleges, said injuries are the direct and proximate result of unlawfully hazardous working conditions to which defendant employers subjected plaintiff Dotson," the MSA complaint says.Reach Ken Ward Jr. at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-1702.

The rest of that game and in the next game, Dunleavy got fouled HARD by multiple Pacers.

Unfortunately, I don't have a recording of it. You can find people discussing it, though, in this game thread:
This space for rent.
I still have the game on tape. The Bucks announcers mentioned it in that game, as well as in Tuesday's game.
And what I meant in my earlier post was which hit on Tyler? That 3/24 hit wasn't the first. MDJ hit him 3 or 4 times, including that game, and also tried to intentionally trip him.
I found it odd that the guy who really took a shot at Dunleavy, Barbosa, was a newcomer for the Pacers.
As for Dunleavy, I don't know what his problem was, but he was playing like Dennis Hopper's kid in Hoosiers after Hopper gets thrown out for being drunk.

Passion. Pride. Patience. Pacers
I just checked on the next page and I actually posted about it:
I don't remember where I read this but when questioned about the hit Dunleavy replied that Tyler knew what he had done to deserve that, which I remember being taken back by that statement because he was admitting to an intentonal hit that caused some actual damage. I was surprised the league never stepped in on that one.

Many children can be affected by knee problems that are related to growth. A classic example is Osgood-Schlatter, which affects approximately 20 percent of young athletes. Osgood-Schlatter is pain related to tight muscles pulling apart one of the growing centers of the top-front aspect of the leg bone. But, not every knee pain in a young growing athlete can be pinpointed to a specific cause like Osgood-Schlatter; and often the athletes are done growing but still have pain on the front of their knee.
The pain can, of course, be caused by a traumatic experience — an injury on the field, a collision with another athlete — but, often the pain cannot be traced back to an injury. In the young athlete, this type of pain is often a repercussion of growing.
Growth primarily involves the bones. As the bones get longer, the muscles get tight and need to stretch out to accommodate the new leg length. Furthermore, with puberty comes a shift in the strength of muscle and the overall mass of the athlete. Basically, all these factors can result in a detrimental shift in the mechanics of the legs and the knee. This, then, results in knee pain.
An important first step to limiting the down time from this type of knee pain is prevention. The key to prevention is core muscle strengthening and stretching.
It is important to know what the "core" actually is, if you are going to strengthen it. The core is made up of all the muscles in your torso, including back, abdominals, hips and upper thighs. The core functions as the foundation to athletic activity; it stabilizes the spine and hips when you run, cut and jump. Moreover, it functions to help accelerate and decelerate the forces you create during sports play. Throwers use it to throw fast and hard, and runners use it to set up an appropriate gait that makes them fast and quick.
If the core is weak, injuries can occur. Joints do not line up correctly in perfect motion and ligaments start to get strained. Muscles start to fatigue faster, and performance is diminished. One of the most common sites of pain from this particular problem is at the knee. The kneecap starts to get pulled around and bullied by the poor core strength and usually associated muscle tightness. This results in the pain.
Core strengthening can be done with planks and sit-ups for the abdominals, but often the forgotten muscle group is the hip muscles. I see multiple athletes per day that demonstrate weak core and hip muscle strength. There are some simple exercises that can be done: Straight Leg Raise With Toes Turned Outward, Clamshells, VMO Kicks, Single Leg Balance Cone Touch. Many of these can be found online.
Once a routine is established on developing the core strength, it will be important to incorporate stretching of the quadriceps and hamstrings (the main muscles of the thigh). If used for prevention, these exercises should prevent development of knee pain without trauma. If, however, you embark on this training program after knee pain exists, it can take six to 12 weeks to fully resolve the issue.
You should contact your doctor if there is an obvious deformity of the knee, there is knee joint swelling, the pain is not improving after two weeks of rest, or the pain is associated with a fever.

ThinkEquity Upbeat About Youku's Mobile Video; Goldman Reinstates With Buy
(Updates with Goldman's views)
ThinkEquity analyst Henry Guo says Wall Street may underestimate the potential for mobile video monetization for Chinese video firm Youku Tudou (YOKU)
In a research note, Guo writes that increasing smartphone penetration, market leadership and a solid relationship with advertisers bodes well for Youku in the mobile video ad market. (The company has yet to make any money from mobile traffic.)
"We believe mobile video will likely drive material 2013 revenue, which is not included in Street expectations and management guidance. However, while we remain positive on Youku longer term, considering the low visibility to the ongoing Tudou integration and content cost trend, we would remain on the sidelines," Guo writes.
Some other positives:
Internet users in China grew to 538 million, according to the China Internet Network Information Center. Mobile Internet users comprised the majority of that increase. There are also indications that there were more than 100 million mobile video users over that period, representing 28% of Internet users comapred to 23% at the end of 2011.
"Its apps installation increased more than two times for the first half of the year and total video views from mobile was up 77% Q/Q in 2Q. Additionally, according to our observation on Apple store and Google Play, we believe Youku apps overall are much better received by users than its competitors' mobile offerings."
Guo maintains a hold rating on the firm and a $20 price target even though he is upbeat about the long-term opportunity.
Goldman's analyst Piyush Mubayi also weighed in, reinstating the company with a buy, and a $23 price target.
The company's recent merger offers a catalyst, "as a first step en-route to the combined company's attainment of scale as consolidation occurs in the fast-growing onlie video industry."

THERE will be glass galore at a Kingswinford museum today (Saturday) with the return of Paperweight Day.
Talented glassmaker Richard Golding will make a guest appearance at Broadfield House Glass Museum to demonstrate his own innovative paperweight making techniques.
Mr Golding, the founder of Okra Glass and was the museum's first resident glassmaker, running the Hot Glass Studio from 1981 to 1985.
A wide variety of paperweights will be for sale from specialist dealers, Steve Rowe and Just Glass and The Paperweight Collectors Circle will exhibit an array of weights by the famous Whitefriars factory.
John Millar, director of the urban environment at Dudley Council, which runs the museum, said: "It's wonderful to welcome Richard Golding back to the museum for paperweight day as he was our first ever resident glass maker.
"The day is always immensely popular and has a loyal following, but it's not just for seasoned collectors.
"Families and children should really enjoy seeing how paperweights are made and the range of beautiful and sometimes quirky pieces that can result."
The event runs from 10am to 4pm.

The trees at Botley Road cemetery are an important part of the Romsey skyline and next week the public have a chance to find out more about them.
The Friends of the Cemetery are conducting an hour-long walk next Thursday (June 19) at 6.30pm. Walkers will meet by the upper gate and look at the many trees in the cemetery, including several types of yew, and cypress, cedars of Lebanon and the monkey puzzle (right) near the lodge house.
Trees in the old part of the cemetery were planted about 150 years ago and those in the newer section more than 100 years ago. Most are evergreens, which was the Victorian way of showing continuing life in the midst of death.
Recently the Friends have been labelling the trees – a job that is not yet finished. The labels have English and Latin names, the Test Valley catalogue number and a QR code so that people with Smartphones can find out more about that species of tree.

description: Where did your ancestors come from? What's your genetic lineage? The Genographic Project is answering these questions and more. And in doing so, it is solving the riddle of who we are and how we're all related.

transcript:
Who are you?
Everyone thinks they know who they are -Scots-Irish, African, maybe Asian or Native American.
But genealogy can only get you so far.  You can research records and maybe learn more about who your family is and where they came from.  But, if you're lucky, the paper trail goes back maybe a couple hundred years.
Then, the trail goes cold.
But human lineage goes back around 200,000 years, to one person on your mother's side and one person on your father's side that we're all related to.
How can you get there?
The answer is - you can't...unless you look at your DNA.
Your DNA contains a roadmap all the way back through time to those common ancestors.
It's as if they were dropping breadcrumbs on your DNA to let you find your way back home.
Your own DNA tells an incredible story - of how your ancestors embarked on an epic journey - that populated the earth.
So, how can you see your DNA and discover your own family saga?  It sounds complicated, but it's actually straight forward.
About seven years ago, National Geographic started something we call the Genographic Project.  Our mission is to look at the DNA of as many people as possible from around the world to solve the riddle of who we are and how are we're all related to each other.
So far, more than half a million people have participated. You can, too.
Your Genographic kit explains it all - and it also comes with a little brush called a "swab."
All you need to do is brush the inside of your mouth.  This collects some cells from inside your cheek, and those cells contain DNA.  Send the swab back to us.
A few weeks later, you'll get the answers on our website, like: what genetic family you belong to, where your ancestors originated, where they went and the amazing story of your ancient family line.
It'll even tell you what fraction of your DNA is from what part of the world: European, African, Asian, Australian, Native American, and so on.
We'll even tell you what percent Neanderthal you are!
The answers might really surprise you.  And I bet they will make you think a little differently about who you are, where you came from - and how you are related to everyone else in the world.
Welcome to the journey of a lifetime, of billions of lifetimes - the human journey.

CHILDREN from Goddard Park Primary School donned historical hats to commemorate 100 years since the Great War started.
Six pupils from Year 1 gathered at Wharf Green yesterday around a giant class-made poppy to round off two weeks of learning about the First World War. The event was part of a host of activities in Swindon's Great War Initiative, made possible by a £10,000 Heritage Lottery Fund grant. Rebecca Rowland, the BID manager for inSwindon, helped to secure the funding. "The HLF grant will help us to commemmorate an historical event that should never be forgotten," she said.
The military gear was supplied by local historian Mark Sutton, who has collected First World War memorabilia from a young age. I've always had a natural interest in the military," he said. "My granddad gave me medals from the Second World War when I was about six, as he looked after German prisoners of war."
Mark's impressive collection, gathered from auctions and local families, links to Swindon soldiers who fought in the war. He estimates that he has 5,000 photos, as well as uniforms, diaries, letters, and medals. "The letters are the most poignant," he said. "Especially from the ones who didn't make it home."
Part of Mark's passion involves going into schools in the area to teach children about the war, using his collection to get them involved.
"I'm not afraid to let the kids touch or wear the items. I don't want them to be hidden away," he said. Goddard Park Primary School, in Park North has been particularly involved, with the war theme carried across all subjects and year groups. Teacher Jo Truscott said: "We dug a trench on the school field. We also made paper poppiesthe children could write messages on, and hung them in trees on either side of the trench. "There was a First World War-themed bake sale, and a choir singing war songs.The children have enjoyed it. It's a part of their history, so it's important they get to know about it."
Dr Mike Pringle, the organiser of Swindon In The Great War, which hosts commemoration events, said Swindon's rail network played an important part in the 1914-18 war, as the majority of British troops passed through the town.
Tomorrow marks 100 years since the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand's death, which triggered the war. The town centre will host a week of commemoration from August 4 to August 9, including a street party, films on the Big Screen and re-enactments and exhibitions. Goddard Park's memorial poppy tree will be on display on the second floor of the Brunel Centre.

The days when your employees were tethered to their desks by network cables are behind us. Today, they're working from virtually anywhere on the globe—accessing your network, thus leaving your company vulnerable from attack from a mindboggling array of entry-points. Luckily, staying safe is no farther than the BitDefender Cloud Solutions
Cloud Security Console
The BitDefender's Cloud Security Console is a Web-based console provides access to your security dashboard, policies, reports, and alerts— allowing you to monitor the security status of your network, as well as detect and address any security issues.
Because the console resides on the BitDefender Security Cloud, there is absolutely no need for any on-site server hardware, or to bother with system maintenance or upgrades. BitDefender handles it all making your life easier, while eliminating your hardware and manpower costs, it's always on and instantly ready for use!
Endpoint Management
BitDefender allows you to manage any number of endpoints distributed across any number of locations. Protect the office network as well as roaming laptops and remote office endpoints. Manage security for multiple companies from a single console
BitDefender Endpoint Client is designed to protect each system using a silent and unobtrusive approach. As security for individual computers is controlled from the cloud interface, there is no need for any user actions to be taken. Depending on the configuration made in the management console, users may be able to locally generate on-demand scans of updates and view security events.
Easily Deployed
BitDefender is deployed in a Breeze. Endpoints can be protected immediately by either opening the Web console, or by sending an e-mail invitation to any user in your company. Once deployed on the first endpoint, Cloud Security for Endpoints will automatically identify the remaining endpoints within the network allowing you to remotely deploy protection to those unsecured systems.
Provides antimalware protection features according to configuration or policies defined within Cloud Security Console. Users can perform on-demand scans or updates if allowed within the central policy.
Cloud Security for Endpoints is a service developed by Bitdefender that addresses both simplicity and flexibility of management. Targeting small to medium or geographically dispersed organizations, Cloud Security for Endpoints reduces risk, resources and costs associated with protecting IT assets.
Number-One-Rated Security
Cloud Security for Endpoints protects systems using security technology that has been rated first time and time again. It has the same enterprise-class endpoint security technologies as the award-winning on-premise BitDefender solutions and it scales to any number of endpoints, defending increasingly mobile and geographically dispersed workforce.
BitDefender is Flexible and intuitive, it allows organizations to quickly deploy, manage and monitor security. The Endpoint Client is designed to protect each system using a silent and unobtrusive approach. User intervention is never required as scans, updates and configurations are controlled from a central web-based management interface.
Giving you security without the IT Overhead. It simply delivers the benefits of an on-premise security solution for workstations and servers without the IT overhead like additional software, hardware or dedicated IT staff, making it the preferred choice for organizations looking for a cost effective security solution that is simple to manage. Built on Bitdefender Gravity Architecture a single Cloud Security Console and data store horizontally scale from the smallest to largest deployment with ease.
Provides number-one-ranked security technology and centrally managed protection for desktops and servers, without the cost of traditional on-site solutions.
While they seek enterprise-level security, smaller organizations find the costs of traditional solutions to be too high as additional onsite infrastructure and dedicated personnel are required to deploy and maintain such systems.
Cloud Security for Endpoints by Bitdefender protects business systems with centralized policy-based control and real-time visibility into the security status - features that are expected of enterprise security solutions - but does not require onsite server hardware or maintenance as it is managed by the hosted Bitdefender management console. The number-one-ranked Bitdefender antimalware technology defends desktops, laptops and server endpoints while the web-based management interface enables real time, centralized monitoring and control within a single console for all offices and remote users. Based on Gravity Architecture, Cloud Security for Endpoints scales immediately to protect any number of systems and has been specifically designed to support MSPs (managed service providers). The system allows MSPs to administrate security for all customers within a single console giving organizations the option of externalizing IT security. Organizations that thrive on being agile will find the Cloud Security for Endpoints service ideal for their needs. While it provides robust security, the solution does not require a highly technical person to deploy, manage or maintain. Immediately after subscribing to the service, Cloud Security Console becomes available allowing centralized deployment within the network using the automatic network discovery feature. After defining policies for the company or user groups, additional actions are required only to monitor reports and respond to incident alerts.
Reduced costs
Cloud Security for Endpoints is a hosted service that offers a high level of security for business systems without introducing complex and costly infrastructure within the business. Companies can thus save money by eliminating the need for onsite hardware and associated maintenance. Dedicated IT staff is required to manage and maintain Cloud Security for Endpoints because the interface is highly intuitive and there is no effort required to upgrade to a new version as the console is based in the Bitdefender or service provider datacenter and is always up-to-date. Organizations can quickly deploy and adopt the enterprise-level security solution while maintaining a lean structure and avoiding vendor lock-in.
Optimized to minimize resource consumption
Optimized detection and scanning technology inside Cloud Security for Endpoints by Bitdefender Minimizes the system's memory footprint. Together with the silent security philosophy, this ensures that business data and systems are protected without users noticing or taking any action. The impact of Cloud Security for Endpoints on network traffic is also minimized as new product or signature updates can be propagated with small, incremental updates and optimized local update distribution options are available.
Advanced protection through proactive detection
Bitdefender provides organizations with multiple levels of advanced protection: Antivirus, Antispyware, Anti-Phishing, Trojan / Rootkit detection and a fully featured two-way personal Firewall with intrusion detection. Cloud Security for Endpoints also includes an innovative and proactive detection technology called Bitdefender Active Virus Control which leverages advanced heuristic methods to detect new potential threats in real time. Unlike typical heuristic technologies which are limited to checking files when they are accessed or first started, Active Virus Control monitors all application activity throughout the lifecycle of the application processes. Productivity and protection are enhanced through centralized configurable security policies that can be used to remotely control user access to local applications, block access to certain websites or restrict Internet access within certain time intervals.
First, a traditional scanning method is employed where scanned content is matched against the signature database. The signature database contains byte patterns specific to known threats and is regularly updated by Bitdefender. This scanning method is effective against confirmed threats that have been researched and documented. However, no matter how promptly the signature database is updated, there is always a vulnerability window between the time when a new threat is discovered and when a fix is released.
Against brand-new, undocumented threats, a second layer of protection is provided by B-HAVE, Bitdefender's heuristic engine. Heuristic algorithms detect malware based on behavioral characteristics. B-HAVE runs suspected malware in a virtual environment to test its impact on the system and ensure it poses no threat. If a threat is detected, the program is prevented from running.
For threats that elude even the heuristic engine, a third layer of protection is present in the form of Active Virus Control (AVC). Active Virus Control continuously monitors running processes and grades suspicious behaviors such as attempts to: disguise the type of process, execute code in another process's space (hijack process memory for privilege escalation), replicate, drop files, hide from process enumeration applications, etc. Each suspicious behavior raises the process rating. When a threshold is reached, an alarm is triggered.
Cloud Security for Endpoints protects against several types of malware, including:
Viruses - A computer virus is a computer program that self-replicates when executed, often while being concealed inside legitimate executable files, boot records, script files, document macros, etc. Besides self-replication, many viruses also carry a payload, meaning they also perform malicious actions on the host system like: destroying or corrupting data, displaying insulting or annoying messages, altering normal application behavior, installing trojans or spyware, etc. Worms - Computer worms are also self-replicating computer programs that may carry malicious payloads. They differ from viruses in that they are standalone computer programs and have the ability to spread automatically, usually via computer networks.
Trojans - Trojans are computer programs that expose the host system to attackers, hence the name. Typical payloads include: opening backdoors (methods of bypassing authentication, stealing data, hijacking the system for spamming or Denial of Service attacks, spying on the user, etc. Unlike viruses and worms, trojans don't self-replicate.
Spyware - Spyware designates computer programs that covertly collect information about the user and transmit it to a third party. Spyware is often distributed as part of desirable software such as free utilities which perform spying activities on their users in addition to their advertised purpose.
Adware programs are software packages that display unsolicited advertising in the form of pop-ups, or by corrupting the graphical user interface of various applications, notably web browsers. Like spyware, they are often bundled with other types of more or less useful software.
Keyloggers monitor the user's keyboard key presses. Although there are legitimate applications for keyloggers, they are often used by hackers to extract confidential information such as credentials, credit card numbers, addresses, etc. They are usually distributed through a trojan or virus.
Rootkits - Rootkits are system drivers which modify the operating system's behaviour for various purposes. Just like keyloggers, they may have beneficial functionalities, but are also frequently used for harmful actions such as: concealing malicious software, preventing malware disinfection, enabling privilege escalation for unauthorized users, opening backdoors, etc. Because they corrupt the operating system's low level functions, once installed, rootkits are notoriously difficult to detect and remove.
The Anti-Phishing module provides warnings and protection against website forgery/spoofing and against Internet frauds. The Anti-Phishing module has three components:
Anti-Phishing protection automatically blocks known phishing (website forgery/spoofing) web pages to prevent users from inadvertently disclosing private or confidential information to online fraudsters. In addition to website forgery, other types of Internet frauds may be suppressed such as: purchase frauds, get-rich-quick scams, Internet marketing frauds, click frauds, etc. Instead of the malicious web page, a special warning page is displayed in the browser to inform the user that the requested web page is dangerous.
Bitdefender toolbar
The Bitdefender toolbar informs users about the security rating of the web pages they are viewing. By clicking a small dragger at the top of the browser window, users can see if the currently displayed page is either: safe, suspect or unsafe. The Search advisor rates search engine results and Facebook/Twitter links, by placing an icon in front of every result. Icons indicate if the link leads to a safe, suspect or unsafe page.
There are two types of threats contained by Cloud Security for Endpoints Anti-Phishing protection:
Spoofing - Web site forgery (spoofing) consists of malicious web sites attempting to impersonate legitimate ones for fraudulent reasons such as collecting user credentials or credit card information.
Internet frauds - Sites that do not assume false identities, but instead try to appear as honorable businesses and profit by tricking people into various scams such as:
Purchase frauds - Online vendors who don't actually deliver the advertised products
Financial frauds - Such as those originating from false financial institutions Get-rich-quick-scams - Such as Ponzi schemes, work-at-home schemes or other "business-opportunity" schemes Internet marketing frauds - Malicious sites that harvest credit card information under various pretexts such as age verification or by selling dubious health products
Click frauds - Sites that deceive visitors into clicking links that lead to different destinations than the ones advertised Unethical dissemination - Domains that have been promoted using spam, blog comment spam, click frauds, social media scams or other dishonest methods
Firewall and Intrusion Detection
The firewall and the Intrusion Detection System (IDS) protect the system from network threats:
The Firewall controls applications' access to network resources/services and to the Internet. A comprehensive database of known, legitimate applications can be automatically allowed access. Furthermore, the firewall can protect the system against port scans, restrict ICS and warn when new nodes join a Wi-Fi connection.
The Intrusion Detection System protects the system from specific actions with malicious potential such as: dll injections, installation of malware drivers, and alteration of Bitdefender files by 3rd party applications, Internet Explorer exploits or keylogging attempts. The Data Protection module prevents users from unwittingly revealing specific confidential information by scanning outgoing email (SMTP) and web (HTTP) traffic and blocking predefined text strings from being sent. These text strings may include sensitive data such as: account names, names for in-development products or technologies, contact information for company executives, etc. There are usually two scenarios for this type of exposure:
Social engineering - This happens when another party actively attempts to deceive someone inside the company into revealing confidential information by techniques such as: impersonating co-workers or authorities, staging false situations or otherwise manipulating the victim to act in the social engineer's interest.
Accidental data leaks - In these scenarios, the user is divulging confidential information out of negligence, without being enticed in any way by the recipient.
Although this is not a deliberate data theft attempt, the consequences can be just as severe.
User Control
The User Control module restricts user's access to Internet and to applications either completely or based on a schedule. Online access restrictions can also be applied for: specific addresses, HTTP or SMTP traffic containing certain keywords, or for predefined Web site categories. There are over 30 types of websites that can be restricted including those providing: gambling, mature content, social networking, file sharing, online gaming, etc. The User Control module helps enforce company policies related to Web access, thus preventing productivity losses caused by employee idling and reducing data traffic costs.

Highest & lowest
An E-4 with dependents can wind up with a little more than $700 a month to spend, or more than four times that, depending on where he lives: Some of the highest BAH cities … New York City: $3,072 San Francisco: $2,784 Santa Clara County, Calif.: $2,412 Boston: $2,355 New Haven/Fairfield, Conn.: $2,103 Nantucket, Mass.: $2,223 Honolulu County, Hawaii: $2,172 Los Angeles: $2,061 Washington, D.C.: $2,034 Northern New Jersey: $1,956 Key West, Fla.: $1,929 Juneau, Alaska: $1,908 Kodiak Island, Alaska: $1,899 … and some of the lowest Alpena, Mich.: $717 Owensboro, Ky.: $747 Mansfield, Ohio: $756 Manchester/Tullahoma, Tenn.: $774 Fort Chaffee/Fort Smith, Ark.: $768 Klamath Falls, Ore.: $777 Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.: $783 Stevens Point, Wis.: $786 Sturgeon Bay, Wis.: $786 KI Sawyer Air Force Base, Mich.: $795 Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo.: $795 Caribou/Limestone, Maine: $795
You've just found out where your next duty station is, and your first order of business is checking out where you stand in the BAH lottery.
OK, so it's not a lottery. And the Pentagon insists no one "wins" or "loses."
But it sure can feel that way. Or not, depending on where you're going.
When it comes to compensation, your monthly, tax-free Basic Allowance for Housing is one of your biggest benefits. Depending on your rank and where you live, it can eclipse your basic pay.
But, wow, the extremes are extreme. From the 363 cities and towns across the 50 states that have designated BAH rates, payments range roughly from $500 to $4,500.
How much you get, of course, depends on three things: your rank, where you're stationed and whether you have dependents.
Big Apple, big rents
It's no surprise that New York City sits atop the BAH scale. But you might be surprised at just how high it is.
A married E-1 — the lowest enlisted rank — stationed in the Big Apple brings in nearly $3,072 extra per month in BAH. That's more than generals and admirals usually get in most other areas. A married brigadier general at Fort Benning, Ga., draws $1,959.
Most of the cities among Forbes' "Top Ten Worst Places to Rent" — San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Boston, among them — also merit the highest BAH rates.
On the other end of the spectrum are 16 locations that rate less than $800 per month in BAH for junior enlisted members. At the very bottom of the heap: Alpena County, Mich., home to the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center near the northern edge of lower Michigan. A married E-1 assigned there takes in $717 per month for off-base housing; singles get just $537.
Working the angles
Of course, your assignment location is only part of the calculus. Equally important is how you use your housing cash, whatever amount it might be.
Coast Guard Lt. Michael Koehler thought the more than $2,000 a month in BAH he would draw while based in Honolulu was huge.
Then the C-130 pilot saw the big-time waves off Waikiki's Diamond Head. As far as he was concerned, the tiny old two-bedroom shack of a house he found two blocks from the beach was perfect.
But rent was going to run about $3,000 a month. Even while sharing living expenses with another pilot, he barely broke even after paying for the utilities.
"Utilities could get crazy, and we didn't even have central air conditioning," he says.
But it didn't matter. He could throw his favorite longboard over his shoulder, "walk out my front door and be in the water within three minutes."
"By the time I left Hawaii, I was surfing seven days a week, sometimes twice a day. The house wasn't pretty, but for two single guys, it was perfect."
These days he's living in another house just off the water, but his surfboard is in storage. Since June, Koehler has been assigned to Kodiak Island, Alaska — a small town with a single stoplight, a single Wal-Mart and about half a dozen bars.
He still draws more than $2,000 in monthly BAH, but that money goes a lot further. He and two other pilots are sharing a sprawling, five-bedroom A-frame fronting a lake with a wraparound deck where they can watch bald eagles.
Koehler ends up with several hundred dollars to spare each month after paying his share of rent and utilities.
"This place is awesome," he says.
One downside: When he goes fishing, he has to pack a .45 pistol for insurance against ever-present bears. "But as long as you don't freak out, they don't freak out. If they go after your fish, just let them have it," he says.
Personal choices
The Pentagon's BAH program has moving parts most service members probably aren't familiar with.
BAH is designed to let troops live comfortably and comparably to their civilian counterparts in any given area. Every year, a contractor collects rental data on a variety of housing types in hundreds of locations.
Number crunchers then sort through mountains of data — everything from rental prices and utility costs to crime and income statistics — for each city on the BAH list.
"It's a very arduous process," says Anthony Mercante, a retired Army sergeant major who works as the housing division chief for Fort Hamilton, N.Y., and helps with his share of the annual BAH survey.
"It's really a yearlong effort. I start in January; we submit data in May, June and July; and by December, the agency tasked with determining the new BAH rate does their magic with some whiz-bang algorithms that they plug it all into," Mercante said.
High-crime areas, noisy neighborhoods — near airports, for example — and other outliers are scratched out of the computations, he says.
In the end, whatever you are paid is designed to cover 100 percent of average off-base rental costs, plus utilities and renter's insurance. But in fact, BAH rates reflect a number of "averages" for different types of housing — apartments, town homes, duplexes, single-family homes, all in a variety of bedroom configurations.
The Pentagon assigns a type of housing — such as an apartment or town house, for example — based on paygrade and whether you have dependents.
A junior single member, for example, is paid enough BAH in any given area to cover average rent on a one-bedroom apartment in a decent neighborhood. An E-6 with dependents or a single O-3 should make enough to cover the costs of a three-bedroom town house. The most senior ranks should get enough for a detached single-family home.
It seems like a neatly designed system, although some critics say the housing standards assigned to each paygrade are outdated and need an overhaul.
But then the human factor comes into play. What if you're an unmarried E-1 with a huge "Star Wars" action figure collection for which you need a whole extra bedroom? If you want two bedrooms, your BAH probably won't go far enough, and you'll have to cover the rest from your basic pay.
Average rental costs are a function of geography as much as anything else. That's why rural, isolated areas tend to get less BAH than dense, urban areas.
Army Sgt. 1st Class Jeff Orlowski had never even heard of Owensboro, Ky., when he got orders to a reserve center there.
The first thing he said after looking up the BAH rate: Wow. And not in a good way.
"I was stunned. When I saw how little it was, I wondered if we were going to be able to afford anything," he says.
He's not surprised the town rates the second-lowest BAH in the country. He has been pleasantly surprised, however, at just how far his BAH has gone.
"We were able to buy a home that in a lot of other areas I'm told would sell for about $1 million."
His 2,300-square-foot, three-bedroom home with a sprawling great room and two-car garage sits on a one-acre plot next to a lake.
"It's a great house in a perfect location," he says. Best yet, the Army is buying his home for him. His BAH allowance of $1,143, as an E-7 with dependents, more than covers his $775 mortgage. After utilities, he still pays about $150 out of pocket, but that's fine, he says.
Even better, he loves the town.
"Really, this is one of the best-kept secrets in the Army, as far as locations go. It's a wonderful small town with low crime and friendly people. And the big city thing is not far — it's only about an hour and half to Nashville or Louisville," he says.
Plus, he says you can't go wrong in a town that unabashedly claims it's the "BBQ Capital of the World."
"And it really is," he says.
Playing catch-up
The vagaries of the rental housing market are not as well-understood as the market for buying and selling.
This year, for example, New York City saw an average increase in local BAH rates of about 14 percent, Mercante says — a huge swing in one year.
That was a much-needed catch-up for a city that largely escaped the impact of the economic downturn, at least in its housing market. But a big spike like that can give people a false sense of opportunity.
"The perception is, 'Wow, I can move off post and put some money in my pocket,'" Mercante says. But in a city where a parking space can rent for $300 a month, "invariably, they realize it wasn't the bargain they had hoped for."
Coast Guard Cmdr. Stacey Mersel is living in exactly the kind of home and neighborhood she had hoped to live in when she got orders to New York.
Based in Staten Island, as the chief of the sector command center for the Port of New York, her duty station is just outside the city limits.
She wasn't thrilled with the suburban landscape of Staten Island but fell in love with the multicultural vibe and easy access to Manhattan that she found in a neighborhood in Brooklyn.
She lives in a brownstone built in the 1800s, split into five apartments. "I have a downstairs with a spiraling staircase that goes up into my living room with a little patio," she says.
She pays $2,500 a month for the two-bedroom, 1,000-square-foot home. With utilities, her housing costs slightly exceed her BAH of $2,790 a month, the without-dependents rate for Staten Island, where she is assigned.
If she drew BAH based on where she lives in Brooklyn, she would get $3,441 per month.
It's a price she's happy to pay.
"It never even went on the market," she says of her apartment, noting her good fortune in snatching it up — after a week of house-hunting 12 hours a day.
Her neighborhood is safe and friendly, her commute quick. A weekly farmers market is nearby.
She may be dipping into her own pocket to underwrite her living arrangement, but she wouldn't change a thing.
"I can literally walk from my apartment across the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan. It's wonderful," she says.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - After weeks of developing and discussing the Duval County School District's proposed strategic plan with board members, Superintendent Nikolai Vitti is meeting with those who matter most -- students.
More than 40 students from high schools throughout the district met with Vitti on Thursday morning to talk about set goals and plans for teachers, students and parents and how those goals and strategies can best contribute to their academic success.
"We need to do a better job of making parents feel comfortable and respected when they come to school," Vitti said.
Most of the students agreed with the superintendent's ideas.
"He really cares about the kids and cares about all of us," Raines High School senior Ahmon Lott said. "He has four kids as well and cares about us as much as he cares about them."
Every student got the chance to fill out a feedback form so they could tell the superintendent and everyone at the School Board what they think about the new plan.
"Every student needs a great teacher," said Kelsey Rice, senior class president at Lee High School. "There are the weak ones, the average ones and the strong ones, and you can definitely tell the difference. And if you have a great teacher, you will want to be a good student."
You don't have to be a student to attend the upcoming forums. Community members are encouraged to attend to learn more about the proposed strategic plan and share their thoughts. Vitti is hoping to make the changes the community is asking for.
"Students and our community wants more than just FCAT and standardized testing," Vitti said. "They want the development of the whole child -- the music, the arts, the electives."
There are two other community forums -- one at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at Lee High School and one at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at Andrew Jackson High School.

PITTSBURGH—Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger injured his right (throwing) shoulder in the third quarter Monday night against the Kansas City Chiefs and did not return.
Roethlisberger ran to the locker room after taking a hit on the shoulder. He later was taken to a hospital and underwent an MRI exam. The extent of the injury was not immediately determined.
Byron Leftwich, who hadn't appeared in a regular season game since 2010, replaced Roethlisberger and completed seven of 14 passes for 73 yards. The Steelers won the game, 16-13, in overtime.
It is not known if Roethlisberger would be able to play next weekend against the Baltimore Ravens. He has had other injuries where it looked as though he wouldn't be able to play the following week and still managed to do so.
The Steelers' offense would have a different look with Leftwich. He does not get rid of the ball as quickly as Roethlisberger and does not have the pocket presence to escape pressure and make plays on the run like Roethlisberger.
"I don't think the offense will change," said left tackle Max Starks. "We still took a couple shots down the field (with Leftwich). We just have to be consistent."
Said wide receiver Mike Wallace: "We feel comfortable any time one of quarterbacks is in the game, whether it's Roethlisberger, Leftwich or (No. 3 QB) Charlie Batch. We feel any one of those guys can get the job done."
The Steelers will rely more on the running game if Roethlisberger can't play against the Ravens. "If he can't go, Byron Leftwich will be ready to go," running back Jonathan Dwyer said. "We believe in him. He's won a lot of games in his career. If he was anywhere else, he would be starting."

The White Ferns outclassed Pakistan to go through the group stage unbeaten in the Women's ICC World Twenty20 at Warner Park, St Kitts.
An economical opening spell by spinner Erin Bermingham and seamer Sian Ruck ensured the White Ferns held a firm grip on the game from the very start after Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat.
Strike bowler Nicola Browne then ripped out both openers to initiate a collapse that saw Pakistan reduced to 30 for seven.
Browne snared two more wickets to finish with excellent figures of four for 15 while Kate Broadmore, Lucy Doolan and Sophie Devine chimed in with one apiece.
Tail-ender Sania Khan managed to hit Pakistan's top score of 15 at the end of the innings as they struggled through to 65 for nine.

The White Ferns only needed 8.2 overs to complete the rout but did lose the wickets of Suzie Bates (4), Aimee Watkins (15), Sophie Devine (23) and Rachel Priest (2) along the way.
Sara McGlashan hit an aggressive unbeaten 16 off 13 deliveries to seal the win.
Speaking after the match White Ferns captain Watkins said, "It's obviously good to know we've finished top of the group but to be facing West Indies is going to be a challenge in the semi-finals in St Lucia.
"They are the kind of team that are so unpredictable at Twenty20, one day they could make 80 all out and another 180 for four so I'm not taking the upcoming fixture lightly.
"Hopefully they've watched today's game and seen what kind of a bowling attack we've got in our side."

Wright's decade in Flushing is a rare feat
SEATTLE -- Shortly after the Mets landed in Washington late Sunday night, David Wright left for dinner with what he believed would be a few select teammates. As that group departed the hotel, a few more Mets latched onto it. Then a few more. Then a few more.
By the time Wright arrived at the restaurant, he realized nearly the entire roster had come to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his big league debut.
"I tried to help [with the check], but I think most of these guys split it," Wright said, laughing. "It was nice. Usually it's the other way around, with me paying."
Considering Wright is the only current Mets player who was on the team even six years ago, his decade in Flushing stands as a rather remarkable accomplishment. With more than six years remaining on his current contract, he is also one of a select few Major League stars harboring real potential to spend his entire career with one team.
But more than anything, Wright was simply surprised at all the attention his 10-year anniversary received. He readily acknowledges that the past decade was not as successful as he once hoped, considering all the untapped potential of the 2006-08 Mets. But he still clings to the belief that his future will be better.
"When it's all said and done, I want to be able to say I got the most out of my potential," Wright said. "With the God-given ability that I have, I want to get the most out of it. I don't want to look back however many years from now and say, 'I wonder if I would have worked a little harder, I wonder if I would have done this or done that, how things would have worked out.'"
At Safeco Field on Monday, those who know Wright best lavished praise upon him. Mets manager Terry Collins cited his third baseman's "different approach to the game," lauding Wright's work ethic between games. Former Mets hitting coach Howard Johnson, now with the Marines, called him a fit for "any team in baseball."
"But he's really good with the Mets," Johnson said.
Ten years ago, Wright was a much-hyped former first-round Draft pick simply trying to find his niche. He did not know what the future might hold; in that sense, at least, he has not changed at all.
"I've had some great memories here, and hopefully there's a lot more to come," Wright said. "Hopefully one day I'll be able to sit back and reminisce and go through pictures or video or whatever, and be able to pay myself on the back and have some fond memories."
