Only minor changes proposed for Manchester school redistricting
MANCHESTER - Superintendent Thomas Brennan wants to focus his redistricting plan on establishing a central preschool, which will likely mean only minor changes will be made to school attendance zones in the fall.
Brennan made the proposal to the Board of School Committee at its meeting Monday, after public forums earlier this month at which he presented plans that could have resulted in nearly 400 students being shifted to different schools in September. The reassignments were to be the first phase of a long-range plan that included proposals for a central preschool and the conversion of Manchester High School West into a multi-use school facility.
The largest component of the fall reassignment plan - moving 138 students at Weston Elementary - is "off the table," Brennan told the board, who said he's still evaluating other street-by-street changes.
"The preschool is a big nut to crack," he said. "When you have 138 students on two streets, where are you going to put them, if not to a place where a preschool is? So I take full responsibility for this. I tried to make it work, and I was wrong."
Brennan said a plan for a central preschool was too complex to be put in place in the fall, and would have to wait until 2014.
The proposal to focus on a central preschool is the latest shift since Brennan was given unprecedented authority last fall to implement a redistricting plan.
Mayor Ted Gatsas, who has been a strong proponent of redistricting since he took office, was clearly upset by the pace of the process.
"I think this board sent you on a mission ... and are you telling me there are going to be no moves in September? How many are we talking about - 5, 6, 20 students? That's not redistricting, that's not what this board sent you to do," Gatsas said.
Gatsas was an early supporter of a plan proposed by Ward 8 board member Erika Connors, which Brennan had indicated was the most promising proposal for a central preschool.
Under the plan, Jewett Street Elementary School would house the central preschool facility, freeing up space at the three other elementary schools where preschool classes are held. Southside Middle School could be converted into an elementary school to take the Jewett students, and the remaining three middle schools could absorb the former Southside students.
Brennan said he was also focusing his effort on identifying some of the nearly 1,300 students who are not attending their assigned schools - a priority for parents at the public forums earlier this month.
"It's a lot of work," Brennan said.
Amid the debate over the direction of the redistricting plan, Ward 10 board member John Avard made a suggestion to eliminate the concept of attendance zones and look at school choice.
"Maybe it's time to look at allowing parents to choose their own schools," he said. "If we open it up to school choice, if parents could send their kids to where they went, where they would have less competition at West (High), where if they try out for sports they're actually going to be able to play, I think we might resolve some of these issues."
Common Core standards
In other business Monday, the school board approved spending $83,900 on a contract to bring the district's elementary and middle schools into compliance with the Common Core State Standards for math and English.
The board voted 11-2 to award the contract, which will be funded with federal Title 1 District Professional Development Set-Aside funds, to the Public Consulting Group.
There were two other bids for the contract, one for $270,000 and the other for $31,600. The Curriculum and Instruction Committee determined that the low bidder was not qualified for the job.
The consultant will work with teachers over the spring and summer to adjust the curriculum and train teachers in line with the state standards.
Ward 9 board member Art Beaudry cast one of the two votes against the contract. Quoting concerns raised by an opponent of the Common Core curriculum, he said it "replaces the classics with government propaganda."
Brennan and Gatsas responded that such concerns were unfounded.
Ward 1 board member Sarah Ambrogi, the chair of the C&I Committee, said Common Core would be further discussed by the panel.
$20,000 more for legal tab
The board also authorized the negotiations subcommittee to spend up to another $20,000 for legal services, as it continues contract talks with the unions representing teachers and other district employees.
Avard, who chairs the subcommittee, said it was making progress in the talks, but that more work needed to be done. The committee had spent $23,000 on legal bills, $3,000 more than had been budgeted, he said.
Mayor Gatsas, who raised concerns about costs when the board first opted to hire the negotiator, pressed Avard on how much more money would be needed. This resulted in the $20,000 estimate.

This overlook is not as beautiful as the rest of the Oak Creek Canyon drive. It is worth a short stop for the view, but a longer stop for the Native Crafts vendors that set up here. Each day brings a different group of artisans.
The view is very nice though there are a lot of these in this part of the country...there are far more stunning views once you get to Sedona itself. Certainly worth a few minutes if you are in the area.
Be sure to stop on your way from Sedona to Flagstaff/Grand Canyon. Take your time to enjoy the long winding uphill climb with numerous chances to enjoy the landscape. Gorgeous gorge views along the path as well as an opportunity to shop the local Indian crafts/jewelry and talk to the engaging locals
After driving up Oak Creek Canyon on 89A north, this stop is a must. You can look down into the canyon and see the sharp switch backs of the highway. Licensed native American artists sell ther wares at this stop.
The view (and the drive up on 89A) was a highlight of our stay in Sedona. The expanse of trees and mountains truly puts life in perspective - I truly felt humbled by the grandeur. Make the drive, breathe the fresh air, and appreciate the hush from up there!
Saw this as part of the Great Ventures Grand Canyon Tour. Elevation was incredible and views were wonderful with the changing leaves.
My wife and I were traveling from Sedona to Flagstaff via AZ 89a. The views were the best yet in Arizona and the Overlook offered great 180 deg. views of Ok Creek Canyon. I would definitely visit again.
The Oak Creek Canyon Vista is easy to miss as you drive down 89A, but PLEASE make the stop at this scenic overlook. It was every bit worth the few minutes we spent there. We got some beautiful pictures! The drive is fun, too. Lots of twists and turns and lovely scenery.
We were pleased to arrive here after the winding hairpin bends of the journey to get here! All the stopping places along the roadside were blocked off so there had been nowhere to pull in and admire the view until we arrived at this scenic spot. There are clean toilets here and various stalls selling local arts and crafts. A...

Animal lovers in the Valley are preparing to make their pets comfortable over the next few days as we experience Hurricane Sandy and the possibility for snow.
It's important to remember their needs just as much as it is to remember yours.
Experts with the Augusta County SCPA said your pets may become frightened by the high winds in the Valley.
They said to keep them indoors and make sure they have proper identification just in case they go missing and to have extra food and water on hand.
Debbie Caywood, executive director of the Augusta County SCPA, said your pets have probably already prepared themselves for Hurricane Sandy.
"Pets are amazing creatures," Caywood said. "Yes, they do have senses of hearing that humans do not. If they want to sort of give us a forecast ahead of time, that gives us a little more time to prepare."
It's also important to make sure pet owners have a supply of your pet's medications available.

External Video Card???
I just have a laptop to game on but it has just a standard HD Graphics card that can't be upgraded according to Toshiba. STO works and I can play but the graphics just aren't up to par with any of the screen shots I've seen. Not far from it mind you but enough to be a real difference. I''ve set all the video settings in the game as high as they will go but that still doesn't help smoothing out all the curves. They are all blocky like on an old vga monitor.
Are ther any external gaming video cards I can get. Having a hard time looking on my own.

This Isn't What It Looks Like is a book by anonymous author Pseudonymous Bosch. It is the fourth book in the pentalogy "The Secret Series", and is the sequel to This Book Is Not Good for You, If You're Reading This, It's Too Late, and The Name of this Book is Secret. The book is based on the sense of sight as the other books are based on scent, sound, and taste. It acts as the continued part of This Book Is Not Good For You, starting just after Cass eats the magic "Time-Travel" chocolate and falls into a coma, searching for her ancestor, the Jester, to find out what the Secret of immortality is, as she recently became the new Secret-Keeper of the Terces Society. Meanwhile, Max-Ernest tries to save Cass with a special monocle, as the book centers around the sense of sight.
One of the most major secrets revealed in the story is that Pseudonymous Bosch may possibly be Max-Ernest, as the later described in the story that he saw his future self writing about him and Cass. As it is unlikely Bosch actually went on the adventures Max-Ernest went on with Cass, it is possible he simply based Max-Ernest on himself as a child. He also tells the story of when he nearly drowned in a jar of mayonnaise, describing how when he was a baby an old pea had gotten stuck in the folds of his thigh, causing him to scream and cry all the time. One day, however, at a restaurant, a waitress takes him to quiet him, discovers the pea, and washes him out in a very large jar of mayonnaise to get it out. However, he sinks to the bottom, and she is unable to get him out. However, the head chef rescues him, and squeezed the pea out of his thigh. Ever since then, Pseudonymous Bosch has had a morbid fear of mayonnaise, and a warm affinity for sous chefs.
The story starts off with Cass awakening somewhere unknown to her, in an unknown time (she later finds she is in fact in the Middle Ages), not knowing who she is, where she came from, or what she is doing. She sees a young boy stuck in a tree, and tries to rescue him, only to hear him repeatedly shouting the word "Goat!", evidently frightened. He runs down the road to his father, but neither of them even look at the girl. Confused, the girl walks up to a puddle, only to see that she has no reflection, realizing that she must be invisible, and that the boy was shouting "Ghost," not "Goat." The story then switches to Max-Ernest P.O.V and Cass has been in a coma for two weeks. He has given her the antidote, so she would reawaken. However, he was unsuccessful. Meanwhile, Benjamin Blake arrives from his private school, completely changed.
- Cass - The survivalist and main character, Cass is ready for any situation. She also has big, pointed ears that turn red often, especially when she's embarrassed or mad.
- Max-Ernest - Cass's best friend and partner, Max-Ernest is shown to be a devoted friend; shown when he comes to see Cass every day when she's in the hospital. It is hinted that he is the younger version of the author of the series because of his new love of chocolate(he used to think he was allergic to it), and Max-Ernest seeing, with the monocle that he took when Benjamen Blake and Amber were fighting over it, what he thinks is a future version of himself writing the first book of the series.
- Yo-Yoji - Cass and Max-Ernest's Japanese classmate who spent one year in Japan. He took part of Terces (secret spelled backwards)before Cass and Max-Ernest. He occasionally plays the guitar, which is the only reason they found out the name for Mr. Cabbage Face in the previous book.
- The Jester(Hermes)- The founder of the Terces Society, Hermes was at first The Jester of the King, but is an eventually jailed, with a bunch of mutts, for helping Cabbage Face free. After breaking out of jail with Cass he goes on to help Anastasia be freed from being captured. Sometime after Cass leaves the past, Hermes marries Anastasia, and learns the secret. Hermes is an Ancestor of Cass, A resemblance being the unusual ears they have.
- Anastasia- Leader of a band of bandits. Rescues the Jester and Cass from the dungeon. Marries the Jester later on.
- Lord Pharaoh- The founder of the Midnight Sun, Cass meets him when she's in the past.
- Cabbage Face- The invention of Lord Pharaoh, when Cass goes to the past she gives food to him and encourages to talk. Cass discovers that the author of the story got facts mixed up in "The Tale of Cabbage Face: A Gothic Tale"
- Glob- One of the members of the Nuts Table. He has a blog all about food, therefore he receives offers from various food related companies.
- Amber- The nicest girl in school and the third prettiest.She got her reputation ruined as the nicest girl when she lied to Max-Ernest when,with her "fortune telling" cards, she says Max-Ernest is in love with Cass but Benjamin reads her mind. She and her friend Veronica idolize the Skelton Sisters,who are secretly members of the Midnight Sun
- Benjamin- Part of the Midnight Sun. Trained with Dr. L in the institution called New Promethean. Comes back to use the monocle on Cass to find out the secret.
- Daniel-not-Danielle - Another member of the Nuts Table
- Melanie - Cassandra's adoptive mother. She also goes by Mel.
- Grandpa Larry- Cass's grandfather, Larry is not her real grandfather. He is an adopted grandfather.
- Grandpa Wayne- Cass's grandfather, Wayne is not her real grandfather. He is an adopted grandfather.
- The bandits- a group of people, found in Cass's vision/coma and helps Anastasia steal goods and valuables from the more rich to give to the poor.

- Mrs. Johnson- The principal at Max-Ernest, Yo-Yoji, and Cass's school. Mrs. Johnson is also a descendant of the Seer.

8:00 A.M. I sleep seven hours. If I go to bed at two, I wake up at nine. If I go to bed at midnight, I wake up at seven. I don't wake up beforethe house can fall apart, but I sleep for seven hours. I wear a long, full-length white shirt, in a material called poplin imperial, made for me by Hilditch & Key in Paris after a design of a 17th-century men's nightshirt I saw at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
The first thing I do when I get up, I have breakfast. I have two protein shakes made for me by my doctor--they have a chocolate taste and no sugar, of courseand steamed apples. That's all. I don't like anything else in the morning. I never drink anything hot; I don't like hot drinks, very strange. I drink Diet Coke from the minute I get up to the minute I go to bed. I can even drink it in the middle of the night, and I can sleep. I don't drink coffee, I don't drink tea, I drink nothing else.
I do most of my reading in the morning. I have a special canopy for that, near the window, where I can see the Louvre and the Seine. I only read, look at books, and sketch. And daydreamdaydreaming's important too. At night there are the dreams too, but I don't have too many. I read the French, English, and some American papers, some German papers, Women's Wearquite a lot. I read on paper; I prefer that.
11:00 A.M. I have my hair done because I hate to have hair in my face when I sketch. My hair is not really white; it's kind of grayish, and I don't like the color. So I make it totally white with Klorane dry shampoo. That is the best thing to do because my hair is always clean.

But Marconi did champion the idea that long-distance radio transmissions could have profound cultural and commercial applications -- adult contemporary rock, for instance. Nevertheless, Marconi's vision was unappreciated at the time. In 1895, Italian officials routed his request for funding to the local insane asylum.

How many governmentwide acquisition contracts (GWACs) does the government need?
Office of Federal Procurement Policy Administrator David Safavian has taken the right steps by assessing the GWAC landscape.
"We plan to evaluate whether these vehicles are effectively aligned to bring the agency's programmatic or contracting expertise to bear on high-priority management initiatives," Safavian said.
With officials looking at reorganizing the General Services Administration, this is the right time for OFPP's review of the government contracting world as it stands today.
Most discussions focus on two options, with the procurement pendulum swinging from one extreme to the other. One option is that GSA could become the contractor of choice for federal agencies, and that has several benefits. GSA, unlike most agencies, has the contracting expertise. Unlike almost every other agency, GSA's mission is to buy stuff.
The second option and countervailing argument is that competition is good, and GWACs provide GSA with competition so that the agency remains focused on good service.
No easy solution exists, and proponents on both sides make valid arguments. Both paths have pitfalls, too. If contracts were to be unified within GSA, would it take us back to the days of the Brooks Act? On the other hand, the current environment led, however indirectly, to contracting abuses in which Abu Ghraib prison interrogators were purchased using an information technology contract.
The United States has thrived on an economic system that encourages competition. When that competition slipped out of whack, new rules had to be put in place to create proper boundaries within the competitive marketplace.
What we need are fresh ideas for preserving both competition and the integrity of the system. Is it possible, for example, to create a new model in which agencies continue to run GWACs but with guidance and oversight mentoring, if you will from procurement experts at GSA?
This is a great opportunity to find a new approach, rather than sending the pendulum swinging side to side. n

2013-14 NDN BOYS SOCCER PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Michael Ventura, Golden Gate
NAPLES - Athletic directors from the 14 schools — Barron Collier, Community School, Estero, First Baptist, Golden Gate, Gulf Coast, Immokalee, Lely, Marco Island Academy, Naples, Palmetto Ridge, Seacrest, St. John Neumann and South Fort Myers — in the Daily News' coverage area were contacted and asked to have their coaches nominate players. That information, along with all-conference and all-district honors and postseason performances, were used to make up the teams and choose Players of the Year.
Ten years ago, Michael Ventura shrugged at the idea of playing soccer. Nothing about it caught his eye, even when his dad lounged on the couch to watch the game on television.
Fast forward a decade, and the mentality has switched. The Golden Gate midfielder's play earned him the 2013-14 Naples Daily News Boys Soccer Player of the Year.
Despite returning to the pitch after tearing his meniscus last season while also trying to play around his work schedule, Ventura has yet to make an excuse.
"Keep working hard, keep training, and put in that work," Ventura said when asked how he earned the honors. "You got to put in that time, dedication and passion. Just give it all you got. Every game, every practice."
Ventura was shocked to see he won, but coach Dwight Morgan knew the award was on its way. Morgan, who played at the University of South Carolina, has coached at Golden Gate for 10 years. He said Ventura is one of the better players he's seen come through because of how physical Ventura wants to be.
It's the reason Morgan wants Ventura on his Ave Maria University squad come next season.
"He demanded an audience and he got it," Morgan said. "He's been a key player since freshman year. Not afraid to hit or get hit."
Morgan is also a first-year coach for the Gyrenes alongside his brother, Ray. Ventura has some work to do with his FAFSA application, but hopes to suit up when the time comes. He has some skills he wants to improve on. Ventura's left foot isn't as developed as his right, and he needs to get faster to keep up with the college pace. Playing with men who will be much bigger won't be an issue.
When he was 13, Ventura played in a men's league at Eagle Lakes. He was by far the youngest player the league had ever seen.
"They made a big deal about it," Ventura said. "My dad had to say he allowed it. He had to go to get a notary from the league and the bank. It was scary to play with grown men at age 13."
Morgan said Ventura is leaving at time where the tradition is at its peak. The Titans have had success reaching championship games in the past. This season ended with a 1-0 lost to Southwest Ranches-Archbishop McCarthy in the Class 3A regional championship game. In his freshman and sophomore year, Ventura and the Titans reached the regional semis, but fell short in reaching the finals.

Frost: Portrait of a Vampire
San Diego, present day: The murders are starting again. A girl has been found with two holes in her neck and her body totally drained of blood. Lt Dan Richardson [Shane Pliskin] knows what it is but doesn't believe it, so he calls in blind art-dealer Micah [Gary Busey]. Micah confirms the lieutenant's suspicion that a vampire is at work and reminds him of the previous lesson learned by Jack Frost, who was forced to kill his best friend Nat McKenzie when Nat became a vampire.

Yeesh, it's cold outside, no way around it. Frosty, like an Ice tray (whut what?! …check last week's article for that reference) I'm up in Toronto, where, yes, it's a tad chilly, but if you didn't know, it's even colder in New York! I mean they freezing their kishkas off, and the infantile side of me couldn't be giggling more gleefully. I'm chock full of hip hop cultural references today, so strap in, soldier! To that end, If you ever gave a moment's thought to my avatar, Flav wasn't chosen haphazardly. While it's true I'm a beathead from the nineties, me choosing the most recognizable hype man in the world was intended to be appropriate. I am the Flava Flav to Slim and JB's Chuck D, good people, so take the advice I give accordingly, it's mostly hype: "Yeaaaaah Boooooyyy!" Sorry. But you can take this to the bank, the Knicks are terrible, and the Nets aren't much better. You gots to get up fo' dis game, nephew, like Allan and Germaine do. If haven't seen these Fox ads from back in the day, you sleepin' son! And speaking of sleeping, and frosty, and New York slippin', check this out: one two, one two…Please, blog, may I have some more?
Dwayne Wade
I don't know why JB would do this to me. Do you know what he told me? He told me I didn't fit in. He told me my only chance of being accepted was for me to join some program he was calling, "Avatar". I believe his exact words were, "Yeah we can change your avatar, what were you thinking?" Wait… this was my idea? Was it me who asked him to take my sexy, bearded, aboriginal face and join it with my real life sexy, bearded, non-aboriginal face? I can't tell what is reality and what is a dream anymore. All I do know is that in this world of mixed mediums, my body, or as JB keeps calling it, my "Avatar", is merely a shell for my one track mind. A mind dedicated only to fantasy basketball; unfortunately sometimes this mind can wonder. Wonder back to yesteryear when Patrick Beverley was a sleeper or when Alec Burks was supposed to start for the Jazz. In an attempt to relieve those nostalgic days, I present to you my beginning of the season All Under-Owned Team. My cutoff was 30% owned in Yahoo leagues and hopefully with season-long appeal.Please, blog, may I have some more?
With the full 2014-15 Fantasy Basketball Rankings now complete, let's take a look at the top 75. Captain N is aboard! Captain on the bridge! The respect he garners trumps captain Russell Crowe with long hair… Captain Patrick Stewart with no hair… Captain N has a huge ass flat top! And this captain is Nerlens Noel; double the N for twice the… nifty…? Twice the… neat hair? This captain will put non-believers 20,000 leagues under the sea! Here's my top 75 for the 2014-15 Fantasy Basketball Season (based on 9-cat H2H):Please, blog, may I have some more?
Razzball Hoops Nation! It's officially the offseason! Well for fantasy… And for the Knicks and the Lakers. And the Pacers! Haha, sorry matt, just joshin'…
And what better way to look back on the 2013-14 season than to reflect on the rankings. Those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it! Dammit, that means I can't ever rank Ricky Rubio highly again even though I know I'll want to!
So I reflected back on my ranks, and patted myself on the back or immolated myself on what I was thinking so long ago. Rankings are based on my final updated top 200 and eesh! Looking back on these some are rough! I then compared them to the FantasyPros aggregate Draft Day Rankings along with Basketball Monster's Total Value for 9-cat leagues for the season. I had Slim come in and grade each of my picks, and man, he's a harsh grader! And unfortunately he doesn't take too kindly to giant pasty men flashing their teetans at him either, so I got no extra help. Here's a look back at the Top 20 for the 2013-14 Fantasy Basketball Season:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow there'll be ThrAGNOF! Full disclosure – I had to look up this song from that movie about a weird looking ginger chick and it's about coming of age or something. No, not Teeth! Last night, an injury-ravaged, de-taloned Pelicans went out and shocked the Clippers. Kevin Hart, apparently a big Clippers fan, got to travel with LA on a Ride Along I'm guessing. When Jamal Crawford upchucked a three at the buzzer for the win, that arced so high it might've hit the Cowboys Stadium scoreboard, Hart started crying when it barely hit rim and got angrier than his little cameo in The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Anyway – Anthony Morrow was a big factor in the upset win, going full-ThrAGNOF 27/5/0/0/1 with two treys. Scoring is the name of his game! Always a high-volume shooter, Morrow just has never stuck in a big role as he doesn't do anything else. Dude, if he was on a D'Antoni Lakers team, he might break the NBA! With Brian Roberts with a bruised knee, Eric Gordon with an absence of knees, and Austin Rivers with the sniffies, the Pels were without three of their bigger remaining scorers. Looking ahead to tomorrow, the Pelicans get a beignet of a matchup against the former New Orleans Jazz and all three could miss again. So if you need some treys and a little scoring upside in the deeper leagues, it's that time of year when the scrubs will come out tomorrow! Here's what else I saw last night in NBA action:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Wait, what?! Kobe Bryant is back?! I mean, the Lakers beat the Thunder, and someone dropped 42 for purple and gold… I can think of no other scenario. But as the verse goes, "Blessed are the Meeks!" Dropping 42 on OKC, Jodie Meeks hit a career-high with his typical Meeks game of treys and steals. "He was hittin' em from downtown like a mad scientist!" I dunno, I was trying to come up with a good segway into Cosmos from last night, but got nothing. "Went all deGrasse Tyson on the Thundah!" "Gettin' all cosmic on dem mfers!" The Lakers beating OKC definitely broke Vegas' space time continuum. Plus winning with 36 boards to 59? Crazy town. We've liked Meeks a lot over here in Razzball Nation, and somehow he's still at only 58% owned in Yahoo. I demand an Inquisition on this matter! Even though he's close to a ThrAGNOF, the 1.3 Stls a game, fairly high-volume 84% FT shooting, and just overall upside on such a crappy team make him an obvious must own. Here's what else I saw over the weekend in fantasy action:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Razzball Nation! We're here on a special weekend wrap-up where Slim (this is JB speaking) got to the action and JB just snuck in the beginning. And snuck in the end! I'm like Brad Pitt at the Oscars. "Wait, why is he winning best picture! So confused right now…" Tomorrow I'll proudly illustrate what I did over the weekend, but a nice defining touch hoops-wise was another great one from my boy Mike Scott, who while posting great lines, isn't helping the Hawks win… And that's a problem! Especially with Paul Millsap assumedly back sometime soon this week. But I thought Gravity mighta gotten best picture too! After a really rough send-off last Monday, went bonkers on the Suns for 20/5/2/3/0 with three treys and not a single TO. I bet Philly sports fans wish they had no TO. BOOM! Double sports joke. The main number that got my emoji tats all excited was the 40 mins played. Millsap is going to travel with the Hawks as they migrate on a 5-game road trip, but very easily could miss the first few making Scott a solid short-term add. So beam him aboard, win a big week as we near playoff time, and don't forget to yell over the music if those pompous mf#@*$ng PA guys at the Oscars wanna condescend you by playing the music. And here's Slim with what he saw over the weekend:Please, blog, may I have some more?
I might be making this up, but doesn't Denver play the Flavor Flav "Yeah Boy!" when Randy Foye hits a three? Well I hope they do! After a brutal Super Bowl for the Broncos (and America), the Denver populous got some slight redemption with Foye hitting this buzzer-beater last night. Sportscenter! But even with that game-winner, Foye had a rainbow flirt of 14/7/4/1/2. That's not ThrAGNOF! Even with Ty Lawson back, Foye is rackin' up multi-cat!? I haven't been a big Foye fan for shallower leagues this year – I thought he was constantly overvalued – but getting 16 dimes in his previous game then a nice all-around line last night with Ty-Ty back; I think I'm a little more a believer. Sure it's only one game against a fast-paced Clippers team, but 40+ minutes yet again last night and now in three straight games and Foye is looking pretty locked in for good value right now. Owned in 57% of Yahoo leagues seems a little thin. Show ya Foye a little Flavor of Love. Here's what else I saw last night in NBA action:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Ross can! Rosssssss can! Ross can get me the tickets! Somebody call the Police, because Terrence Ross is on fire! Or, ummm, do we call the Mounties? I plain just don't know… But if anyone (aherm, me) had to feel the Sting of that 51-point outburst against them – out of so left field from Ross that it was out of the Pacific Ocean – then you're certainly sending a message in a bottle to the fantasy gods asking "Whyyyyyy?!" 51/9/1/1/0 shooting 16-29 and hitting 10 Harvey's Trays. "What's with the sit-com references today JB?!" Yeah, no one will get that last one… Sit-coms are always fun, light, and don't end on Sunday nights with me throwing things. "Enough about you, JB!" Damn, commenters are angry this morning! DeMar DeRozan sprained his foot in that game, and while Ross was already hot, no DeRozan helped him get hotter. "Hansel is so hot right now." DeRozan looks like he'll miss at least a few games – already not traveling tonight – making Ross a must-own for this week and the immediate future. The Raptors are all the sudden with 18 less shots a game (no, that's not me throwing out an arbitrary number, that's really DeRozan's FGA a game!) so this is a great opportunity for Jonas Valaciunas as well to go on a solid run. Will be an interesting game tonight at Brooklyn to see how the two younguns perform. Here's what else I saw over the weekend in NBA action:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Remember back in the day when you played Oregon Trail every waking moment? I only sorta remember because I kept getting dysentery… But I imagine an update should have the mythical creature of LaMarcus Aldridge as some sort of omnipotent deity that you hope comes to your aid. "Your wagon is stuck in quick sand, use 1 of 3 remaining LaMarcus Aldridge summons?" Hells yea! And then I need him to save my oxen. Huge game from LA last night putting up a career-high points and a sick 44/13/5/0/2 line including 14-17 FT while the crowd chanted "M-V-P" all 4th quarter. Scored the last 15 points, went 8-8 at the stripe in the last 70 seconds, all in a 5-point win. The Nuggets just had nothing for him inside when he was crashing the glass, and LA was boarding like a beast. I know he's had a lot of Goromotaros, but almost all the boards he got in this one were in traffic. And the Nuggets were fouling him extremely hard all 4th quarter. Gonna need an ice bath! All he has to do is come to the east coast and jump in a lake. One of my worst calls of the year was my poor Aldridge ranking, but if you can't get it right, join em! Or something like that… Traded for him in REL and in another league. I don't know why owners were pulling a Kurt Russell and trying to Escape From L.A., but enjoy your huge stats and the first-round value you're accruing. Here's what else I saw last night in NBA news and action:Please, blog, may I have some more?

This guy is so talented. Here is his take on what happened "After Ever After" for Elsa, Mulan, Cinderella, and Tiana!
For those of you dying to get a peek at how Disney is handling their remake of the popular musical 'Into the Woods,' today is finally your day.
Allison Williams has been cast as the titular character in NBC's musical 'Peter Pan Live!,' the network announced today (July 30), via Twitter:
'Pirates of the Caribbean 5' is still a thing that is happening despite the disappointing domestic box office of 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides' (thanks, Rest Of The World) and after years of behind the scenes turmoil, it looks like Disney has finally decided on a release date.
The previous 'Big Hero 6' trailer didn't show us much beyond a glimpse at puffy robot hero Baymax struggling to fit into his robot suit. Today, we get a longer 'Big Hero 6' trailer with much more footage from Disney's upcoming animated Marvel film, though unfortunately, still a lot of focus on the antics of Baymax.
To some, it's the happiest place on earth.
To others (like me), it's a nightmare.
Richard "Dickie" Jones, the voice of Pinocchio from the 1940 animated classic, has passed away at the age of 87.
We know, we know -- 'Frozen' parodies are nothing new. But even after all this time, there are still some clever ones to enjoy.
By now you've seen a thousand versions of the song 'Let It Go' from 'Frozen,' but this one might be the cleverest. Any mom will recognize this mom's troubles.
Perhaps those Disney filmmakers are a bit more subversive than we thought.
I can't tell you how excited I am for this movie. I always loved 'Sleeping Beauty', but I think this movie looks amazing.
The first 'Maleficent' poster is here, courtesy of Walt Disney Studios, featuring Angelina Jolie in all her glory as the famous fairy tale witch from 'Sleeping Beauty.'

Today's Renewables Obligation announcement is good news for the renewables industry, but it has highlighted the division within the Government over the UK's commitment to meeting its own climate targets, says the RSPB.
Harry Huyton, RSPB Head of Climate Change Policy, said; 'Whilst the promise of continued support for wind energy is to be welcomed, a light has been shone on the division within the heart of government over the UK's commitment to leading global efforts to avoid dangerous climate change.
'Today's decision to maintain support for wind power at a viable level offers the renewables industry and our common fight against catastrophic climate change temporary respite. But, the rift in government over climate change policy has to be overcome. We need to change the way in which critical decisions that affect all of us and the future of the planet are made.'
The RSPB says the fresh commitment to fossil fuels, including a new half a billion pound fund to support gas extraction in the UK, threatens the ability to meet future targets to reduce carbon emissions. The RSPB has also long campaigned against biomass power plants, and says current plans for this sector would lead to the UK importing and burning 33 million tonnes of wood [note 1], threatening wildlife and undermining the climate change benefits of renewable energy.
Harry continues; 'We had also hoped for decisive action to prevent new forest burning biomass power plants from being constructed in the UK. A cap on the amount of biomass power is to be welcomed, but all now depends on the level of the cap, which government is yet to decide on. We believe that the only sustainable level that the cap can be set at is zero.'

Vegan Diet and Lifestyle Books Reign in 2012
Several books about plant-based living ranked in the top five on Amazon best-seller lists this year.
Plant-based diet and lifestyle books topped Amazon's US best-seller charts in 2012, according to recent lists. The online retailer released sales figures for diet and weight loss, nutrition, and special diets, with vegan tomes rounding out the top five in the US categories. Joel Fuhrman's nutrient-focused diet book Eat to Live took the top spot in the diet and weight loss category, and also scooped the second position due to its e-book sales for Amazon's Kindle device. The plant-based tome also ranked #16 on Amazon's overall list. In addition, Forks Over Knives–The Cookbook also took top honors, snagging the #5 spot in both the nutrition and special diet book categories.

Stochastic Constraint Programming: A Scenario-Based Approach
Free registration required
Executive Summary
To model combinatorial decision problems involving uncertainty and probability, the authors introduce scenario based stochastic constraint programming. Stochastic constraint programs contain both decision variables, which they can set, and stochastic variables, which follow a discrete probability distribution. They provide a semantics for stochastic constraint programs based on scenario trees. Using this semantics, they can compile stochastic constraint programs down into conventional (nonstochastic) constraint programs. This allows one to exploit the full power of existing constraint solvers.

"Children are increasingly being given drugs by doctors to help teachers and parents cope with their troublesome behaviour. Certain behaviours or actions by children, such as not sitting still, are being judged as evidence of mental disorders and used to justify an official diagnosis."
Read full opinion
Children should not be labelled as 'mentally ill' because they do not conform to 'normal' standards.
However, the fact is that child needs a label before he/she and their family can get the help and support that they need.
I speak from experience.
I believe that if children are diagnosed as mentally ill this could lead to bullying ect. However if a child had for example depression it is important that they are treated with drugs ect in order for them to have the best chance of getting rid of the mental disorder.
It was interesting to read that children from a poorer background a 4 times more likely to receive a diagnosis, but sadly this is clear around some areas of Britain. I currently work in an enhanced resource provision in a primary school situated in a low socioeconomic location and we see many children arriving with the diagnoses of ADHD and other labels. Although i agree that some diagnoses are needed to help a child through the education system, I do believe that are some diagnosed children who may have ADHD but do not require the medication and just require support. The right educational support to meet the child's needs, behavior interventions and teachers who have the enthusiasm to help these children through has worked wonders in my area of work. However, if this is technique is successful, then are these children really 'ADHD' or is the behavior and personality of the child due to nurture and not nature? And is there evidence that it is biological? If so then is there a reason why? A very interesting topic!
I completely agree with this article. I think that asking children to sit still for hours at school is unnatural and not based on actually observing child behavior. I believe the evidence shows that children are born with sensitivities that will lead them to struggle with some things more than others, but the rest is in the environment and if we (teachers and other adults) can create a more tailored environment then the children will be able to correct some of these issues themselves. Also if the environmental factors are examined and addressed, then the children with issues truly requiring medication would be more obvious.
