Blue Jays aren't planning to skip Hutchison's turn
Five-man rotation stays in place due to the lack of off-days since All-Star break
HOUSTON -- The Blue Jays don't have any plans to make changes to their starting rotation with an off-day on Monday.
Toronto hasn't enjoyed a day off since the All-Star break but instead of using it to skip a starter, the club will provide everyone with an extra day of rest.
There has been ongoing concern throughout the year about whether right-hander Drew Hutchison will tire down the stretch after missing last season with Tommy John surgery. That prompted a couple of questions about possibly skipping Hutchison, but manager John Gibbons quickly shot down that notion.
"They all need a day off," Gibbons said. "Hutch has been good against Baltimore, too. Let's face it, we have our five guys, we have to roll with it and they could all use an extra day."
Hutchison has struggled since the break with 12 earned runs over 12 1/3 innings. Opponents are hitting .351 with a .965 OPS against him, but he'll look to turn things around during the upcoming series vs. the Orioles.
Even though Toronto won't make any changes for this upcoming off-day, that doesn't mean there won't be some adjustments in the relatively near future. The Blue Jays have five off-days this month, including three in an eight-day span from Aug. 14-21.
The Blue Jays likely could skip a starter or two from a group that includes R.A. Dickey, Mark Buehrle, J.A. Happ, Marcus Stroman and Hutchison.
"We can look at it then, at this point I don't know why we'd want to do that with Stro," Gibbons said. "But that's the time we can do it, right now they all need it."

The National Conservation Easement Database (NCED) is an initiative of the U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities. Additional financial support has been provided by the Peter and Carmen Lucia Buck Foundation; the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation; the Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation; the Knobloch Family Foundation; the Graham Foundation; the USDA Forest Service, State and Private Forestry; the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Landscape Conservation Cooperative; and the U.S. Geological Survey. The NCED team also collaborates with the USGS National Gap Analysis Program (GAP) Protected Areas Database – United States (PAD-US) on data acquisition and standards.
Number of Conservation Easements: 130,758
Total Acres: 24,717,062
Last Update: October 2016
The National Conservation Easement Database (NCED) is the first national database of conservation easement information, compiling records from land trusts and public agencies throughout the United States. Voluntary and secure, the NCED respects landowner privacy and will not collect landowner names or sensitive information. This public-private partnership brings together national conservation groups, local and regional land trusts, and state and federal agencies around a common objective. The NCED provides a comprehensive picture of the estimated 40 million acres of conservation easement lands, recognizing their contribution to America's natural heritage, a vibrant economy, and healthy communities.
In collaboration with land trusts and public agencies, create a single, up-to-date, sustainable nationwide system for managing and accessing data about conservation easements.

Dear Paul,
I was wrong. I said you didn't have it in you. In fact, I said you could only be a success in the NBA if the coaches let you focus on defense and rebounding. I said you shouldn't be asked to be a scorer, because you couldn't (according to me) handle it. Tayshaun Prince's name may have come up. Maybe. Ok, it did.
Its possible that I've never been this wrong about anything else in my whole life, brother.
Kind regards,

Mastroianni returns to lineup, starts in right
BRADENTON, Fla. -- Outfielder Darin Mastroianni returned to the lineup on Saturday against the Pirates after missing more than a week with a left hamstring strain.
Mastroianni initially suffered the injury while in the Venezuelan Winter League but re-aggravated it on Feb. 28 while checking his swing. But he was cleared by team doctors to play on Saturday and started in right field and batted leadoff.
"He's been working hard," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "The trainers tell me he's been doing fine."
Fellow outfielder Oswaldo Arcia, who has yet to play in a Grapefruit League game because of a pulled intercostal muscle, could return to action as soon as Sunday. But the Twins are being cautious with Chris Parmelee, who is still experiencing tightness in his right groin and will likely be held out until Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
"Parm is day to day," Gardenhire said. "I told him no swings today and we'll see where he is tomorrow."

I agree that you have to have some good youth, which we do (PG, Hill, Hibbert, Lance), but you also need to have a veteran backbone (David West/Danny Granger).
Do you think Sam Presti is sitting behind is desk stressing out b/c Kevin Martin is playing well, an expiring, and about to turn 30? Of course not. He could have gotten better young assets than Lamb/pick, but wanted the veteran.

Ask Shawn: Shine light on a moonlighter
For the past few years, our practice's kennel business has been declining. I recently learned that an employee pet-sits for clients on the side. The other day a client approached me in an exam room asking if I was the employee who offered pet sitting. When I told him we board pets at the clinic, he said, "Oh dear, I hope I don't get someone in trouble." In fact, the moonlighting employee gave him a tour of our kennel just last week. I realize some people want a more personal approach, but the fact that the pet sitting is a secret going on behind the owner's back bothers me. Help! —Blindsided by boarding
The solution is simple: Bye, bye, employee. In my opinion, this is worse than stealing. This employee is using your practice's business model to line her own pockets.
It is acceptable for an employee to approach the practice owners with a business plan for a petsitting business for the practice's clients and offer to share the rewards with the practice. It's the fact that she's doing business behind your back that causes a myriad of other problems. For example, if other employees know about the business, this puts them in a double-bind—they may not want to snitch, but they may feel their ethics are compromised.In this case, I urge your manager to pull aside the employee in question at the end of the day and hand her her walking papers. The manager should also inform this team member that if she continues to pilfer clients through the practice's business, the owners will seek legal channels for compensation for the damage done to the business.
Next, follow up with a letter to clients apologizing that they've been put in the position of being offered personalized home care without your knowledge and explaining you're willing to explore offering this service through legitimate channels at your practice.
Finally, it's important for practice leaders to call a practice meeting to explain why it's unacceptable for employees to offer a service that feeds off the practice without the owner's permission. Develop a script together for how you'll answer questions from clients about the ex-employee and the boarding services she offered. As a team, you'll need to focus on rebuilding the practice's legitimate boarding services. —Shawn

What do St. Valentine and grape vines have in common? The answer may surprise you!
In the 1800s, in the town of Roquemaure in the Rhône Valley, wine business was booming! Roquemaure's wines had become known throughout France and they were one of the first villages known to label their wines CDR (Côtes du Rhône) to distinguish them as a sign of quality. Yet in 1866, strange things were happening to their precious vineyards. In Roqumaure, and all over Europe, grape vines were mysteriously dying, and no one knew why.
Things were getting desperate and French newspapers and local clergy blamed mankind's reliance on science rather than God for the sudden vine deaths. In 1868, a Roquemaure dignitary, Maximilian Richard, was sent to Rome to acquire some relics of a patron saint for protection of the vines. He returned with the relics of St. Valentine and housed them in Roquemaure's church of Saint-Jean-l'Evangeliste. The hopes of the villagers lay in the relics of St. Valentine to help protect the vines and to help the farmers determine why the vines were dying. And then in July of 1868, an accidental pickax blow by a farmer to a grape vine revealed the culprit – tiny yellow aphid-like creatures sucking on the vine's roots. Phyolloxera!
In time, the French discovered that grafting European vines onto American rootstock, which was resistant to phylloxera, would allow the vines to grow unharmed. And however scientific the 'cure', St. Valentine had won a place in the hearts of the people of Roquemaure, where his relics are still housed and celebrated each year with La Fete des Amoureux (The Festival of Lovers).
So help celebrate St. Valentine and his contribution to wine (by way of a comfort to the people of Roquemaure) by enjoying some festive bubbly and cheese!
2011 Champ Divin Cremant du Jura Brut Rose – $22.99
Valerie and Fabrice Closset-Gaziaux have lived a life close to nature. They both grew up with families that kept bees, biodynamic gardens, and vineyards. They've both worked together helping farmers and winemakers convert to and farm using biodynamics. In 2009, after travelling the world spreading biodynamic know-how, they decided to settle in the Jura and bought a property with five hectares of vines. Their first bottlings are such a pleasure to drink! This sparkling rose is made in the Champagne method with Trousseau and Pinot Noir grapes. It has aromas of fresh red berries and flavors of tart rhubarb, herbs, and a lush fizz-filled finish. Perfect for your Valentine!
NV Guiborat Fils Extra Brut Tradition Champagne – $39.99
The Fouquet family has a long tradition in Champagne, having farmed their eight hectares in the sub-region of Cramant since 1885. Today, 5th generation Richard Fouquet and his wife Karine run the estate. While they have traditionally sold most of their grapes to other producers, life many in Champagne do, they've recently started saving some of their grapes and bottling their own Champagnes. The Extra Brut tradition is about 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Meunier. Although there's not added dosage (sugar added after disgorgement), a bright floral and honeycomb nose leads to a rich palate full of stone fruit flavors and salty minerality. A great value for a great grower-producer of Champagne!

OK, so I bought a DX Wraith. The plastic felt so good, I thought it was worth $9.00.
It appears to break in nicely. In fact it appears to beak in better than Pro (even though I cannot truly say mine is broken in yet). The plastic is very structurally rigid, and the mold appears to be much more true than any other DX I have ever seen.
So, now we have a nice disc. It is really like a DX Valkyrie+ (for me at least). Flips flat from a heyser and then does a right hand glide, to a short left fade (or no fade at all). It always turns a little right from a "normal" heyser.
So, it stands to reason the Teerex DX may truly be the DX Teebird+.
It is more flaky than my Surge and I have to remember to heyser the thing a tick more, but I threw it 495' today. This is my longest throw ever.
Definitely worth a look...and the $9.00. If nothing else for field throwing.

What's your toddler's personality type?
Knowing this could impact your parenting style more than you realise. more
Betsy provides practical and down to earth tips and advice for parents to help with milestones, discipline, fussy eaters, pet deaths, toilet training and more, for toddlers through to school age children.
Betsy is a renowned child development specialist, parent educator, and author of Just Tell Me What To Say: Sensible Tips and Scripts for Perplexed Parents. You can find out more about Betsy and her best selling book here.
According to Betsy, there are four things you must understand in order to successfully deal with your children's fighting:
I think that you already know this, but you are still trying to make it fair. Understand that nothing you can do will make it that way, not in the eyes of your children, anyway. Remember, your child wants enough of the good stuff, and that isn't always possible. So she sees life as being not fair.
It is incumbent upon you, the parent, to try and make things fair. Your children need to see you exert the effort. Leading your children to believe that life is fair by working overtime to make it so, however, will certainly not prepare them for reality. Fair doesn't mean that things will work out the way you or your children want them to.
The problem comes when you, the parent, equate fairness with equality. Very often being fair means that things are not equal for your children. For example, one of your children needs shoes, and so you buy them for her. Your other complains, "That's not fair! I want shoes too." You know that you will buy your second child shoes when he needs them. That is being fair, but it is not being equal at that moment.
You are a different parent to each of your children, and your spouse is too. There are reasons for this truth. Your firstborn is your "practice child," and everything you did was the first time with her. You are an old pro by the time you have the next child and are a very different parent by virtue of experience.
In addition, each of your children has a different temperament, and you respond and relate to each based on who she is. In fact, you are a different parent to each child because each needs you to be so. You have different children, so you treat them differently.
In every family in which there is more than one child, someone is always being "a pill". This reality certainly isn't written anywhere, but it sure is true. At any given time, one child is more demanding, needier, or going through a different stage. That child is in the "pill position," otherwise known as the "rotating pill". The amazing thing is that almost never do you have two children in the pill position at the same time, unless both are ill. When one child is in the pill position, the other one is a perfect angel: "Look at me Mummy, I am being good." Expect that at some point, each of your chlidren will have a turn in the pill position.
This was one of my mother's expressions. I offer it as reassurance that, in the end, each of your children will get as much of you as she needs. The attention, time, and love that you give each of your children on any given day will vary. The child in the pill position will need and get more. If you were to keep a tally sheet, you would see that, in the end, there is some kind of equality, if there are no outstanding problems or issues.

Mr. Simpson is a wonderful teacher, capable of conveying somewhat complex concepts in a manner in which we could understand. He promptly answered all of our questions via the extremely bustling discussion area. I learned a tremendous amount, and highly recommend this course!
Thank you for presenting this course in a straight-forward, non-threatening way. I especially appreciate the fact that your tone is light-hearted and you fully explain the material in terms that are easy to understand. Your use of examples and sample material is excellent.
This course and instructor are tops. The support and assistance go above and beyond anything required or even expected. The discussion areas explore the topic in depth and even branch into new territory when needed. I am sorry to have it end.
I've taken many courses but none with such clear, easy-to-follow writing and instructions. Thank you Alan for sharing your knowledge in a way that is interesting, fun, and well constructed for anyone to learn from.
Alan is by far one of the best teachers I have had the pleasure of being taught by. He isn't afraid to answer off topic questions that still tie to the subject. He is always going above and beyond to help his students.
This was an excellent course. The instructor did a fabulous job of explaining the material, answering our questions, promoting discussion, and encouraging us to further expand our knowledge. I would like to extend a huge thank you to Alan Simpson for a job well-done.
Can I just say you are the epitome of "above and beyond" in every sense!! Thanks for being so supportive of your students.
Your lessons are so simple to understand and the effort you make to explain everything is really commendable. They are explained as if the students were sitting right in front of you.
You explain everything without assuming that the reader might know this or that. I really appreciate all your efforts to explain lessons and respond to the queries.
Had a great experience!
Thank you for the initial challenge when I told you I had never coded before. For sure, it took me some extra time to figure out how to apply course lessons with Dreamweaver .
And finally I got it, and with a 100%! Thank you for making yourself feel close to us and for providing those templates and tools. The animations, drop-down/fly-out menus, and interactive-pages classes were awesome! And "expanding horizons" was the best industry snapshot I have ever seen (from someone who worked in B2B marketing team at Microsoft :-)

Orange 'RockCorps' by Fallon
AgencyFallon London
SectorTechnology brands, Mobile phones and Telecom / Utilities brands
Orange RockCorps, the music-led volunteer programme, is celebrating all of the work achieved by its volunteers through a national TV campaign created by Fallon.
The campaign, called 'stand up and be counted', will run to coincide with the Orange RockCorps gigs held in Manchester and London in July and September, which have been arranged as a reward for all the volunteers.
Set against a regenerating urban backdrop in order to highlight how the volunteers have helped transform their surroundings, the TV ad shows a diverse cast of 268 16-24 year old volunteers, morphing into each other in an effect similar to a flick-book.
The campaign is supported via a partnership with Sony Ericsson and Channel 4, which will broadcast the volunteer work and the UK reward gigs on its T4 show.

Kelley Proxmire, in the room she designed for the 2002 Designers Showcase.
"I always think big," said Kelley Proxmire, organizer of the
2002 Home Designers´ Showcase to benefit the Center for Family
Development, a Regnum Christi apostolate in Bethesda, Maryland. "But
when I looked back on my notes from a year
ago, I originally expected to get 10-12 designers and about
500 people to attend the show." She thought that
was "big". However, after a year of prayer and
preparation, the showcase featured 23 designers and had over 3,000
people attend. It was a tremendous success.The showcase ran
from May 13 to May 26. For those two
weeks, Our Lady of Bethesda Retreat Center was transformed into
a designer´s paradise. Twenty-four identical rooms were painted, papered
and carpeted by some of the Washington area´s best-known designers.
Retreat rooms that formerly held only a single bed
and a desk became sitting rooms, libraries, dens, dorm rooms,
garden rooms, media rooms and children´s rooms. Admission was
$20 and people from all over DC, Maryland and Virginia
flocked to see the transformation of the small rooms.
One volunteer offered that what happened to the rooms at
the Retreat Center is like what happens to your soul
when you go on a retreat there. You arrive
all drab and featureless and you leave completely transformed by
the very best designer, Christ.So how did she do it?
How did she pull off the biggest Regnum Christi
fund-raising event ever in the Washington section? "It really was
a miracle the way it all came together," said Proxmire,
a long-time Regnum Christi member. She recalled that she
had been trying to think of a way to bring
her professional contacts in the decorating business into a fund-raising
event. For the past three years, she has organized
the major fund-raising event for the Center for Family Development,
which supports families in the Washington area with marriage preparation
courses, marriage enrichment retreats, leadership training for teens and pre-teens,
and family counseling. She saw the 8-foot by 9-foot
rooms of Our Lady of Bethesda Retreat Center as the
way to get her designers involved and to raise money
for the Center. "I had the idea and then
I prayed about it, asking God to lead me in
the right direction," she said. It would be quite a
courageous undertaking, requiring thousands of volunteer hours of work.
She then called a designer friend, who had participated in
7 showcases, for advice. He told her to "go
for it!" Next, God placed the editor of a
national decorator´s magazine in her path, who advised her to
have at least 2 dozen rooms and run the showcase
for two weeks. This was very valuable advice.
She continued to pray about whether to go forward with
it. Then something incredible happened. Out of the
blue, she was invited to compete for a room in
the 2001 National Symphony Orchestra Showcase. She had never
participated in one before. She felt she knew now
where God was leading her. She won the coveted
spot and thus had the opportunity to see how a
showcase works from "behind the scenes." She also
met a lot of designers, whom she tapped for the
retreat center showcase a year later.From the very beginning to
the very end, prayer played a major part in this
group effort. "Everyone in the Washington section was praying
for the success of the showcase," said Proxmire. She
knew it would take more than just human brains and
brawn. Challenges and setbacks were placed in God´s hands. One
Regnum Christi member even wrote a special prayer for the
success of the showcase. And what a success it
was, not just financially. There were many fruits prayed
for and received. The enthusiastic coverage by the Washington
area press had to be a fruit of prayer.
Many articles, especially a feature in the Washington Post, shed
light in a positive way on the Center for Family
Development and the Retreat Center. Now the community is
more aware of its presence, and hopefully more people will
take advantage of the great programs for families and couples
there. Planning has begun for the 2003 Designers´
Showcase. Another fruit of prayer is the fact that most
of the designers have already offered to participate in next
year´s showcase. One designer said it was the most
pleasant experience she´s ever had at a showcase. She
raved about how kind and helpful the staff at the
retreat center was and how the designers were all in
the same boat with the small rooms and so they
were not as competitive with each other and helped each
other out as well.To anyone planning his or her own
Designers´ Showcase fund-raiser, Kelley Proxmire offers some advice. "You
need three things to make it successful," she said.
One, the house should be in a good location and
have beautiful grounds. The retreat center could draw from
Washington, Baltimore, Annapolis and their suburbs quite easily being so
close to the capital beltway. Two, you need great
designers to participate and transform your rooms. And three,
you need at least 150 committed volunteers to draw from.
The volunteers were all Regnum Christi members and their
friends. If you have all three, you´ll have a
great showcase.

Hamilton making progress from calf strain
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Angels outfielder Josh Hamilton, yet to play in a Cactus League game this spring, could make his debut within a week.
Hamilton strained his left calf during a baserunning drill 10 days ago, and the initial prognosis was he would miss at least two weeks. Hamilton will hit live batting practice on the field Sunday, manager Mike Scioscia said.
"We'll go from there," Scioscia said. "He's getting there and hopefully we'll see him in games in a week or so."
Hamilton, who has been running at 90 percent on a treadmill in recent days, previously said he usually needs between 45 and 55 plate appearances to be ready for the regular season.

June gloom is a Southern California term for a weather pattern in late spring and summer that results in overcast skies and cool temperatures. What was not expected was a steady drizzle of rain throughout Southern California. This weather was not ideal for a car show, but Classic Lowriders car club had other ideas.
Despite the outlook of some car show getting cancelled because of weather, we made our way to Amino Leadership Charter High School in Inglewood, California, for the Classic Lowriders car club annual car show fundraiser, and were shocked at what we found. Much to our surprise, the weather was a non-factor as the show grounds were packed with cars, trucks, motorcycles and bikes that came out in droves to support the club's fundraiser! As we made our way around the show, the mood was festive and people did not seem to pay any mind to the unseasonably low temperatures or constant drizzle. Quite a few people commented to us that they Lowride no matter what the weather conditions are, since they build their cars for the streets.
The Los Angeles chapter of La Gente car club came out to support as did Latin World, Westside car club, Westside Originals, High Class car club, Stylistics, and the Dukes car club, who were also all in attendance. Quite a few 1956 to 1959 Chevys were at the show, which was a treat for the crowd. A number of them were convertibles, which is not surprising, since the Westside of Los Angeles is close to the coastline. There was a beautifully restored 1958 Chevy Impala with Level Air that was quite the attention getter on hand as well.
Classic Lowriders made sure those in attendance were entertained with music from a live band as well as a DJ. There were vendors selling toys, car parts, and food. A number of the high school clubs had their own booths to raise money for their clubs.
Even though the weather was less than desirable, Classic Lowriders once again put on a great show. The club would like to dedicate the show to Classic Lowriders member Jimmy Papik, who passed away in 2011. Ride in Peace, Jimmy.

Asian carp are fast-growing, aggressive and adaptable fish that are outcompeting native fish species for food and habitat in much of the mid-section of the United States. Asian carp were introduced into Southern fish farm ponds in the 1970s and quickly spread across the United States. They are now on the verge of invading the Great Lakes.
Asian carp is a catchall name for species of silver, bighead, grass, and black carp from Southeast Asia. The huge, hard-headed silver carp also pose a threat to boaters. The fish can leap out of the water when startled by boat engines, often colliding with people and causing injuries.
Voracious filter feeders, Asian carp consume up to 20% of their bodyweight per day in plankton and can grow to over 100 pounds. Plankton are small floating organisms that form the foundation of the aquatic food chain and are vital to native fish.
It is crucial to prevent Asian carp from entering the Great Lakes. Once established in an ecosystem they are virtually impossible to eradicate. Adult Asian carp have no natural predators in North America and females lay approximately half a million eggs each time they spawn.
Asian carp were imported into the U.S. in the 1970s to filter pond water in fish farms in Arkansas. Flooding allowed them to escape and establish reproducing populations in the wild by the early 1980s. At present, bighead carp have been found in the open waters of 23 states and silver carp in 17 states. Asian carp represent over 97% of the biomass in portions of the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers and are swiftly spreading northward up the Illinois River in the direction of the Great Lakes.
Asian carp are advancing towards the Great Lakes at multiple locations. The Chicago Area Waterways System, a series of sewage and shipping canals, is the pathway of greatest concern for Asian carp to enter the Great Lakes. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers maintains three electric barriers to prevent Asian carp from entering Lake Michigan, but these barriers are only temporary impediments and have proven to be penetrable.
A live bighead carp was discovered only 6 miles from Lake Michigan near Chicago. One bighead carp was found in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, just below the first electric barrier. DNA evidence has been found in multiple locations on the Lake Michigan side of the barriers.
Asian carp eggs, fry and fingerlings were found in the Wabash River in Indiana. There is acute risk of the Wabash River flooding into the Maumee River, which leads directly into Lake Erie.
Temperatures in the Great Lakes are well within the fishes' native climate range. Parts of the Great Lakes, including nutrient-rich bays, tributaries and other near-shore areas, would offer Asian carp an abundant supply of their preferred food, plankton. Plankton is also favored by most young and many adult native fishes and the voracious carp would likely strip the food web of this fundamental resource. The U.S. Geological Survey has identified 22 rivers in the U.S. portion of the Great Lakes that would provide suitable spawning habitat for Asian carp.

Research indicates that Asian carp could survive in the Great Lakes.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Kevin Harvick never set foot in the Stewart-Haas Racing shop before signing a contract last fall to begin driving for the team in 2014.
All he needed was Tony Stewart's assurance that Harvick would be paid and the team would be funded whether they landed sponsorship or not.
For Harvick, that was good enough for him. It allowed him to focus on his final season at Richard Childress Racing.
MORE: Most surprising champions | Earnhardt: We're due | Chase: Where they stand
With that focus on the present, Harvick and his RCR team made the Chase and are sixth in the Sprint Cup standings with eight races remaining in the season.
"If you look and read and listen to the things that they said at the beginning of the year, we wouldn't even be … in the Chase because everybody had kind of written us off at the beginning of the year waiting for our team to implode from within and not even having a chance to race for the championship," Harvick said.
MORE HARVICK: Best free agent moves | NASCAR's lame ducks | SHR a nuthouse
While certainly not in championship form – Harvick has just seven top-five finishes and has led only 53 laps this year — Harvick has managed to get through the first 28 weeks of 2013 without a major "I'm outta here anyway" moment.
Because of his contract with RCR, Harvick could not talk to his current sponsors about going with him to SHR.
So Harvick, who knew that SHR co-owner Gene Haas would foot the bill for his 2014 team, didn't know much about the progress of any sponsorship talks.
SHR landed Budweiser and Jimmy John's — two sponsors Harvick had at RCR — for the majority of races for 2014. Harvick had landed the Jimmy John's sponsorship previously for his Kevin Harvick Inc.
"We've always been very involved in going out and seeking the sponsors and in this particular instance, when I signed my contract with Stewart-Haas, it was a responsibility taken out of my hands so that I could concentrate on driving my cars and it was a risk they were willing to take," Harvick said Tuesday at the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
"The relationships that were built in the past, the people must have been somewhat happy with them and confident in what we could do."
Philly.com: Chase needs suspense | Charlotte Observer: Time for Bowyer to fess up
Harvick insists that he doesn't even know the marketing people at SHR all that well and that he doesn't even really know who to call and thank for landing sponsorship for him.
He has only been to the SHR shop once — in 2009, when Stewart first became part of the organization — and did not meet Haas face-to-face until a race earlier this year. Harvick had negotiated the deal with Stewart and the SHR executives.
"We just did what we thought was right," Harvick said. "We were in a unique circumstance. I told (Stewart) my concerns and they took all the risk.
"It was good spot for me and my family to sit in and say, 'Alright, we don't have to worry about the future.' … You know that (Haas) is committed to it.
"I thought that was pretty solid footing to sit on from a team standpoint. I think from their side of it, they felt they could get a good chunk of sponsorship to fund the cars."
And Harvick approves of Haas' latest move in hiring Kurt Busch, whom Harvick disliked until this year, when they have worked together with Busch's Furniture Row Racing having an alliance with RCR.
Harvick said five years ago that Busch and him being teammates "was probably not possible," but they have a good relationship now.
"It's funny how things change and how things evolve," Harvick said. "For us as competitors, we're both very aggressive and want to win races but I think as you mature and you understand that you have to have good people around you to be successful and in this day and age.
"You have to have a successful organization, which includes good drivers, good crew chiefs, owners, everything."

Hazards: Flooding
Flooding is the nation's most common natural disaster.
Be prepared for flooding no matter where you live, but particularly if you are in a low-lying area, near water, downstream from a dam or other areas known to flood in previous storms.
Even a very small stream or dry creek bed can overflow and create flooding.
Move immediately to higher ground. Do not wait for instructions
to move.
Always stay away from floodwaters.
Even six inches of swiftly moving water can knock someone
off their feet.
- If you must walk in water, walk where water is not moving; use a stick to check the ground.
- Be aware of streams, drainage channels and other areas known to flood suddenly. Flash floods can occur in these areas with or without such typical warnings as rain clouds or heavy rain.
- Keep your children inside and away from streams and creeks.
Stay away from downed power lines to avoid the risk of electric shock or electrocution
Do not drive on flooded roads – "turn around, don't drown."
- Stop and take an alternate route. The depth, current and condition of the road are all unknowns and can be deadly.
- If your vehicle stalls on a flooded road and water is rising, get out of the car, call 9-1-1 and move to higher ground.
- Approximately two feet of swift water can move or float most vehicles, including SUV's and pickup trucks.
- Be especially cautious during periods of limited visibility or nighttime when it is extremely difficult to see and judge conditions -- state law requires headlights when wipers are on.
- Keep your vehicle parked in your garage or on the driveway away from low-lying areas and large drains.
Flood Terms
Flood WatchA flood watch or flash flood watch means there is a possibility of flooding or a flash flood in your area.
Flood WarningA flood warning means a flood is occurring or will likely occur soon. If you are advised to evacuate do so immediately.
Flash Flood WarningA flash flood warning means a flash flood is occurring. Seek higher ground immediately; do not wait for instructions

Ex-SC lawmaker indicted on burglary charges
Thu, 31 Jan 2013 21:04:43 GMT —
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Former state Rep. Thad Viers has been indicted on burglary charges.
Defense attorney Dylan Goff said Thursday his client had been indicted by the Horry County Grand Jury on charges of first-degree burglary and petit larceny.
Authorities say the charges stemmed from the same incident that led to Viers' March resignation from the state House.
Viers was arrested in January 2012 and subsequently quit the Legislature a day before he was indicted on stalking and harassment charges. Authorities say the 34-year-old called, texted, emailed and showed up at his ex-girlfriend's home months after they broke up and didn't stop after police contacted him.
Those charges also led Viers to drop a congressional bid.
Goff says his client is innocent. It wasn't clear when Viers was expected to appear in court.

As you prepare your tax forms, you might be thinking of better ways. Here's an idea -- tell Congress what you think.
Smith and Larson are leading the bipartisan Ways and Means Tax Reform Working Group on Financial Services.
Public comments will ensure we have the best information possible as we continue to review the current tax code and work toward comprehensive reform, Smith said. I hope individuals and groups will take advantage of this opportunity to engage with the working groups, and participate in this open approach to tax reform.
Creating a clear avenue of communication between constituents, stakeholders and these working groups is a critical step in reforming our tax code, Larson said. The information collected from these submissions will be extremely helpful in our work to review current financial services tax law.
Public comments will be accepted through April 15, and will be published on the Ways and Means Committees website and included in the final Joint Committee on Taxation report, which will be delivered to the Committee on Ways and Means.
The process for submitting comments:
· Any person(s) and/or organization(s) wishing to submit comments can email firstname.lastname@example.com.
· In the subject line of the email, indicate Comments: (name of) Tax Reform Working Group (note: be sure to specify the name of the working group in the subject line - e.g., Energy Tax Reform Working Group).
· Attach submission as a Word document. (Cc a copy to the Bulletin at email@example.com)
· In addition to the Word document attachment, include in the body of the email a contact name, physical address, phone number and email address.
· For questions, or if you encounter technical problems, call (202) 225-3625 or (202) 225-1721.

The scenario: You want to sell your car without any hassles for a fair price.
So you place an ad on a community website hoping for a quick sale. Shortly thereafter, you get a call from what sounds like an auto company. For a fee, the company promises to put you in touch with a buyer.
If your car isn't sold, they promise to refund your money. So you pay the fee and wait for the company to present a buyer for your car.
The catch? According to a recent case settled by the FTC, the auto company's claims are false. There are no buyers and there is no refund. It's a scam designed to bilk consumers.
Steer clear of telemarketing scams related to selling a car by following these tips:
•Resist making an immediate decision when someone cold calls you in response to an ad you placed. Scam telemarketers are likely to use high-pressure tactics to get you to give them money.
•Research a company before paying a fee for their service. Use a search engine to find out what the company's track record is. Look for any complaints that might signal a red flag.
•Get the specifics of the service you're paying for in writing.
•Ask for a copy of the company policy and terms of service on paper, and make sure you understand the fine print before agreeing to it or signing anything.
•Register your home and mobile phone numbers with the National Do Not Call Registry. Although it won't stop all unsolicited telemarketing calls, it will stop most. If your number is on the registry and you still get calls, they're likely to be from scammers ignoring the law.
•Report fraud. If you suspect a company is scamming you after having promised a service and not delivering, file a complaint with the FTC at ftc.gov/complaint or by calling the Midwest Region office at 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357) 9 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday-Friday.

GTA V is pretty fun so far. I think the wanted level is ultra sensitive though. I haven't tried the blimp yet, going to get to that tonight.
I'm a little disappointed in the idea that I couldn't pick up the axe or golf clubs that were in Michael's garage when boosting the SUV. I think that should be a natural progression in these games from generation to generation. I feel like I should be able to pick up a garbage can and throw it at some body. You can move the garbage can with your feet, but about it. But maybe i'm just complaining.
I've noticed that its really hard to get a high completion level on the missions. I'm always in the 60-70% range even though
I did everything right. Hard to make money too. Haven't ventured too far from the mission areas yet though.

How to choose the right care at the right time
Winnipeg Health Region
Wave, January / February 2013
You've had a cold for a couple of days. Last night, you couldn't sleep because of your cough. Your throat is sore, your head is aching. You know you need medical attention.
The first thing you could do is call your doctor and make an appointment. The family doctor is the gateway to care in our health-care system and should always be the first choice for care.
But it's late in the day and you can't get hold of your doctor. Or perhaps you are new to the city and you don't have one yet. What are your options?
As it turns out, you have several choices for seeking care within the Winnipeg Health Region, including walk-in clinics, QuickCare clinics and urgent care. You can also seek an appointment for treatment at one of several ACCESS Centres or community clinics around the city, many of which are staffed by nurse practitioners.
"One option many people overlook is their doctor," says Lori Lamont, Chief Nursing Officer with the Winnipeg Health Region. "Those often keep a number of spots open for same-day calls, so try reaching your doctor first."
Knowing if you have a minor or a major health problem will help you decide where you need to go.
"Recently, I felt unwell," said Lamont. "But I didn't think it was that bad that I should go to a hospital Emergency Department. I went to a walk-in clinic and got my treatment quickly. I know that hospital Emergency Departments are for serious illnesses and emergency situations. I also knew that if I came in with a minor ailment, I would have to wait until the people with more serious health problems were taken care of."
Lamont says that if you have a condition that is a threat to life and limb, you should proceed to the nearest hospital Emergency Department or call 911, which connects you to ambulance, police or fire personnel in an emergency situation. Trained emergency dispatchers will provide you with the assistance you need for your situation.
In less serious cases, however, there are a number of other options. Here are a few:
Health Links/Info Sante
If you want to talk with someone, Health Links is a 24-hour, seven day a week telephone information service, which is staffed by registered nurses with the knowledge to provide answers over the phone to health-care questions and guide you to the care you need.

It was suggested to start an additional thread for draft discussions, since the other thread is for picks only. Sounds like a good idea to me. This thread can be for every league as well and not just ours. So everyone feel free to discuss the various leagues in here.
My take on our draft so far:
I knew LBJ would go first, but I figured KG would go second. Don't get me wrong, I had DWade last year and he's a fantasy machine. Of course I also had Shaq, so I got the benefit of many of his assists also being Shaq dunks. No real surprises yet though I don't think.

You realize I don't care. I don't judge about how long their career is, or how well their team does. I care about whether or not their career is over, or near over. Until that point it is like comparing Apples to Bananas.
Report: 82% Of Wiseguys Think They're Real Funny
Longevity is one of the most overrated things in sports. Now, I'm not saying it's not important, but I do feel we as Pacer fans like to put a lot of emphasis on it, because it happens to be one of Reggie's big "plus points". However, if a guy only played 8 years in the league and during those 8 years won 6 championships and then retired, he would still be one of the greatest players of all time. Longevity is definitely worth something, but it's only so much. Heck, just ask Pistol Pete himself.
You swayed me. I looked at their stats and scoring in the final 5 minutes and I think overall, Reggie has had a better career.
MJ is easily #1. I can argue Kobe being #2. Reggie is definitely in the top 5
Smothered Chicken!
Who would you put in the top 10?
I rank Reggie a no brainer top 10, arguably top 5 SG. MJ, Kobe, Drexler, I guess Wade, but after that arguments can be made.
How can some of these guys be ahead of Reggie when they were not even the top guy/go to guy on their own teams, mainly talking about Ray Allen, Dumars, even Jerry West played with a team of HOFers. Reggie out played AI and Ray in the playoffs when they were both in their prime and the main men on there respective teams.
If Reggie had played with some of the teammates these guys played with he'd have several rings. Reggie came to a team that had only made the playoffs a few times in there NBA history. They then made the playoffs 15 out of 18 years. I know, It was not ALL Reggie of course, but players and coaches came and went and Reggie still keep winning games till the very end. He scored 39 points on Kobe and beat the Lakers at 39 years old.
What if Ray never went to the Celtics, how would he be perceived different, a guy that was a great shooter, but rarely even made the playoffs and never won crap? What if Wade never played with Shaq or Lebron. Would he just be a big time talented scorer who never won anything (Mitch Richmond)?
"Just look at the flowers ........ BANG"
Because Oscar was a point guard and perhaps the best overall guard in the history of the game.
Did you watch game 3?
Smothered Chicken!
So he can't have a bad game?
Wade isn't 2006 or 2009 Wade anymore, but he is still pretty damn good.
What irks me about the Allen/Miller debate is that Ray Allen has never taken his team on his back and made a deep playoff run. Maybe Ray is a better shooter then Reggie, but Miller was a better leader and competitor when it mattered in the playoffs.
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
The Allen/Miller debate will always be unfair to both of them. They were never in comparable situations. Just my take on it, similar play styles, yes, but never really similar situations.
Big O was definitely not in SA. That's my bad... I had just got done looking at Gervin's tab, but my point still stands. With O, he was Lebron James before Lebron. Dominated the ball a lot from what I know. I clearly wasn't around then to know his game as much as more current players. He played some SF, but he [primarily played with bigger players in bigger lineups. It seemed to be a "give it to O and rebound the **** out of the ball" type of game and therefore he played in a lot of lineups with three forwards. It's like Kobe and Lebron. He typically is the guy that brings the ball up or is handling the ball most of the time and his PGs are more relegated to spreading the floor and defending quicker guys than doing the major ball handling duties.
If you put O in the discussion of SGs he is there near the top. I don't see how he can be a PG with his size, the guys he guarded and the smaller guys who played next to him, i.e. Adrien Smith. If I am way off in my assessment, could some people who know from watching the games tell me if I am way off.
"Your course, your path, is not going to be like mine," West says. "Everybody is not called to be a multimillionaire. Everybody's not called to be the president. Whatever your best work is, you do it. Do it well. You cease your own greatness when you aspire to be someone else."
Obviously I didn't see him live, but when I've seen clips of him on youtube or on Classic, I would always call him a PG and that is usually how he is described by "experts". I can certainly see where his size and other factors could make him a two, but I would call him a PG first.
From what I always understood clearly defined positions like POINT guard and SHOOTING guard didn't come around until about 30 years or so, give or take. Before then, there were guards, forwards, and posts. This is why guys like Jerry West, Big O, etc were good scorers but also averaged high assist numbers as well, or why guys like Elgin Baylor (who was 6-5) was a double double machine. Players tended to just play to having clearly defined "roles"
You and Sparky don't seem to be reading what I am saying. I don't care when their career is over, all I care about is it being over. This has nothing to do with anything else, nothing to do with how good I think Wade is or how long he plays. All I care about is whether or not if his career is over or near over.
I judge Wade not even off his rings... I think the knock on him is that he sort of rode 2 legends to those 2 rings. But he's still a damned good, dynamic 2-guard. At least offensively.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
Wade (and the refs) won the 06 Finals. Shaq didn't break 20 points in any of the Finals games. Shaq was great against Chicago and Detroit though.
Wade was without question the best player on an NBA championship team. That can never be taken away from him.
"Just look at the flowers ........ BANG"
Just another little tidbit on their career numbers. Ray's FT% was higher in the regular season. Reggie's was higher in the playoffs (and higher than Ray's). Ray's PPG average was 20 in the regular season and 18.2 in the playoffs. Reggie's were basically flipped, again operating at a higher level against stronger competition...not piling up numbers against weak teams. If they had one shot to make they would both be good choices. I would probably give the ball to Reggie.
He was in the finals with a very limited 76ers because he was that good. I think some of you don't remember the way he took the games with his scoring.
AI was definitely a more talented player than Miller by some distance. IMO, he was better than Wade and rivaled Kobe on offense.
As good as he was, he certainly helped his teams win. But his talent level didn't fully translate to making his team that much better. Players would often just watch the AI show and it worked quite a bit. But it stunted the team's growth at times. At the same time, he didn't have the best teams throughout his career...yet I don't think that changes what I'm saying.

|Our Parmelee Branch
|Written by Jennifer Nodwell
|Friday, 23 January 2009 07:25
The Parmelee connection comes from the ancestors of the Omar Travis Osborne branch of the tree. He is the 10th great-grandson of John Parmelee, and the bloodline is as follows:
Although there are records of earlier Parmelees in Europe who probably are ancestors of John Parmelee, researchers have not yet connected them to the John of Lewes, the patriarch of the Parmelee descendants in Connecticut and beyond. John ( - 1583) is the last of the Parmelee's to remain in England and is the father of John Sr. in America.
The Parmelee name is found in heavy concentration in two areas during the time period before 1600: south of London in Lewes and near the border with Scotland, in Middleton-in-Teesdale. It is the Parmelee's of Lewes who colonized Connecticut. Records of these Parmelee's date back to the 1572 marriage of John and Alice at All Saints. Later records are found at St. Michael. Shortly before John Parmelee Sr. left for Connecticut, records of Parmelee's in Lewes dry up. The Parmelee's of Middleton-in-Teesdale headed to Pennsylvania first and then off to the Midwest.
Several of the Parmelee men served in the Revolutionary War. Omar's great-great-great grandfather Ephraim Parmely fought in the American Revolution as a private in the North Carolina line. His name appears on a list of soldiers Dec. 2, 1785, who were to receive military land warrants. He received 640 acres in Sumner County, Tenn., on Bledsoes Creek. I located a record for his service while at the Library of Congress in a book entitled Roster of Soldiers from North Carolina in the American Revolution by DAR, published by Genealogical Publishing Company in Baltimore, 1967. The call number is E 263 .N8 D17 and the book is in the Local History and Genealogy reading room in the Jefferson building. He is found on page 295 in the listing of "Military Land Warrants, Continental Line (Part 1)" as No. 3094 Ephraim Parmaley.
The Parmelee line is related to two U.S. Presidents: George Bush (43) is the 9th cousin of Omar T. Osborne, and Rutherford B. Hayes (19) is his 6th cousin 4 times removed.
Jim Walters is the Parmelee Family Historian and has a wealth of information at his site The Family Parmelee.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Bayer CropScience and its Davis-based subsidiary AgraQuest Inc. kicked off a cross-country mobile laboratory tour Oct. 29 in Oxnard, said Kelly Benarth, marketing and communications specialist for Bayer CropScience.
Marcus Meadows-Smith, head of strategy and business management for biologics for AgraQuest, said the mobile lab, will travel around the U.S. and make stops in major agricultural centers to educate growers about AgraQuest's biopesticide products and Bayer CropScience's products and the science and technology behind them.
The lab is a replication of Bayer's research and development lab in Davis, Benarth said. A scientist with the company will travel with the lab and explain the company's products, she said.
The lab is scheduled to tour California and the Pacific Northwest through Nov. 14, Benarth said. Starting again in January, the lab will travel across the country to growing regions in Florida, she said.
The lab tries to coordinate stops in conjunction with industry trade shows, meetings or other events, Benarth said, and will be at the Florida Citrus Show on Jan. 23-24 in Ft. Pierce. She said the lab is scheduled to stop at five or six major industry events between its October launch and February.
Meadows-Smith said AgraQuest's acquisition by Bayer, completed in August, allows the company to offer a complete spray program in addition to its other biopesticide and soil products and provides more options to help growers manage residues.
"Our goal is to be the leader is sustainable solutions," Meadows-Smith said. Becoming a Bayer company "was a major step in our commitment in this area," he said.
"Bayer's face to the grower is to find the best solution," said Jon Amdursky, media relations consultant for AgraQuest.
"Now Bayer can offer any combination of solutions in a very neutral and unbiased way," he said, referring to the use of biopesticides versus traditional chemical pesticides. "It's 'whatever works best.'"

Return to the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants... 10 years later
From number-one New York Times best-selling author Ann Brashares comes the welcome return of the characters whose friendship became a touchstone for a generation. Now Tibby, Lena, Carmen, and Bridget have grown up, starting their lives on their own. And though the jeans they shared are long gone, the sisterhood is everlasting.
Despite having jobs and men that they love, each knows that something is missing: the closeness that once sustained them. Carmen is a successful actress in New York, engaged to be married, but misses her friends. Lena finds solace in her art, teaching in Rhode Island, but still thinks of Kostos and the road she didn't take. Bridget lives with her longtime boyfriend, Eric, in San Francisco, and though a part of her wants to settle down, a bigger part can't seem to shed her old restlessness.
Then Tibby reaches out to bridge the distance, sending the others plane tickets for a reunion that they all breathlessly await. And indeed, it will change their lives forever - but in ways that none of them could ever have expected.
As moving and life-changing as an encounter with long-lost best friends, Sisterhood Everlasting is a powerful story about growing up, losing your way, and finding the courage to create a new one.
Spend some more time with the Sisterhood.
©2011 Ann Brashares (P)2011 Random House Audio
"A feel-good novel of substance." (Kirkus Reviews)
More than depressing. I loved the Traveling Pants series, and the couple of books after, but this one is not one I would ever buy again, and would not recommend to friends. From Penny
Avid Audiobook listener. Mostly like historical fiction or contemporary mystery/suspense.
"Good listen but mixed feelings"
Its hard to review this book without giving anything away so I apologize before hand if you want to be totally surprised don't read my review.
By the end of this book my feelings have changed about 20x regarding how I felt about it. I'm going to say its worth the listen/read especially if your a fan of all the other Sisterhood books. But through out almost the entire book I was screaming in my head at how meek these characters were. I know they just had a shocking event happened but not 1 of them asked questions???? I know they were scared of the answers but I would STILL be asking questions. But then again we wouldn't have much of a story if they had. For 30 years old these characters haven't emotionally matured since their early 20s. By the end of the book I felt they had but it seemed that at least maybe 1 one of them should have more sense by 30 then they did (maybe Tibby was only one).
"A sweet ending for the Septembers"
This last piece of the traveling pants story took a little while to get into. I think I struggled with the narration in the beginning - it starts out very buttoned up or maybe stodgy? Very careful pronunciation, not conversational at all, which would be how I hear the girls in my head. But after an hour or two, it seems to loosen up. By the end, it seemed much, much better. The story is kind of goes along with the narration...drags in the beginning...particularly with Lena and Carmen...sometimes I just wanted to shake them and make them have the necessary conversations to get their lives on track. But if another story about them was released, I'd snap it right up and listen or read it cover to cover, just like I did with this one. You can't not read the end of the series. Overall, I'm an Ann Brashares fan.
"Traveling Pants at 30"
It was good to catch up with the girls of the traveling pants now approaching their 30th birthday. I could not put the book down, but it is a real tear jerk-er. From beginning to end, there was sadness but with a heart warming undertone. Not the type of story I enjoy reading, but for these girls, I did.
"Terrible music"
What's with the cheesy music playing over the ending? Just terrible. Took me completely out of the story.
"The Sisterhood Lives on Forever in Our Hearts."
This was a very sweet story of a friendship that never ends... Or disappoints for that matter. The story is a bit slow in the middle but it provides necessary insight into the lives of four friends who have forgotten who they really are along the journey of their adult lives.
"Not what I expected."
I read the Sisterhood books in high school, so I was excited to catch up with the girls as adults. I agree with a lot of other reviewers that it's just too sad and depressing. The story drug on and on and I found myself not paying attention. I wish I wouldn't have listened and remembered the characters they way they were. Loved the concept but could have been a much better story.
Tell us about yourself! Love to read but don't get to do enough of it. On the road a good bit.... that's when I listen!
"Sisterhood Everlasting"
I loved this entire series. Good audible .... good story. It makes me happy.
Reminds me more and more the real friends in our lives are so very important.
I am a great reader and listener of all things book.
"Truly uplifting!"
This continuation of the Sisterhood is beautifully done. The girls are still the same girls, but each grown into womanhood in a very realistic way. I am not one for crying, and I have to admit this book moved me to tears several times. The ending is GOOD!!! yay. :) I so tired of melodramatic sad endings. This book is full of hope and love and humor and makes clear for us the very meaning of true friendship. Even if you missed the first four books about the sisterhood, this story stands on its own, the characters finely developed. Overall, a great story to loose yourself in, loose your heart in, and count on a great ending.
"overall very enjoyable"
this book reminded me of what it is like to be a young woman and i felt empathy for the characters .i laughed a lot while listening to it so i would recommend it as a good light listen
"A True Friendship Novel"
"Dramatic" and "Emotional" would be the best words to describe this breathtaking novel. It wasn't what expected. I already thought it would have a friendship reunion but not the way this one turned out to be. It made me realise how important friendship can really be and how difficult it is to let go. It has encouraged me to read the rest of Ann Brashares series and has aspired me to write novels in the similar way when I'm older.
I would recommend this to people who enjoy reading social realism. The kind of stories that bring personal identity to it, (you can relate to it) or give sympothy and hope to those who may need it. It will bring tears to your eyes both happy and sad!

Bill to eliminate AIMS testing on governor's deskPosted: Updated:
Students across Arizona dread taking it. Some teachers don't want to give it. Now some legislators say it may be time to give the AIMS test a failing grade. It could disappear with the stroke of the governor's pen.
A bill passed both the House and Senate and is on Gov. Jan Brewer's desk to phase out the test and makes way for what educators call "higher standards". But some lawmakers say this move will cheapen the high school diploma.
"I think the AIMS test was problematic in a lot of ways, driven hard in a political agenda," said Arizona Education Association President Andrew Morrill.
Morrill also says the AIMS test wasn't the best tool for students. Brewer agrees.
"It was a first start. It was a good effort. I think we need to raise the bar," said Brewer.
Since 2006, high school students have had to pass reading, writing and math sections of the Arizona Instruments to Measure Standards test to get their diploma. Some lawmakers say students will be cheated if it doesn't stay that way.
"I've watched shaking my head as we dumb down the passing grade; we'd exempt students who couldn't pass it. Now the thought of totally doing away with it, I just can't support," said Republican Rep. John Kavanaugh.
The state Department of Education raised the bar for English and math skills in 2010 as part of its new Common Core standards.
"We need to expect more from our students and they should graduate with ability to go the best universities here in Arizona," said Brewer.
There's a plan in the works for a new comprehensive test on everything students learn in high school. It'll be introduced next year, but students won't need a passing grade to graduate.
"I think it sends a bad message to students that in the end there's no real true accountability," said Kavanaugh.
Brewer has about a week to sign the bill. This would only affect current sophomores and newer classes.
Those in their junior and senior years right now will still have to pass the AIMS tests.
