Once a role player, Patriots' Wes Welker now a budding star
OKLAHOMA CITY -- She went to her bedroom and cried that night, not because of what the man said but because she knew the whole world was wrong. One hundred and five faxes, 104 "no"s, and it was about to end there, on a harsh winter day, when Wes Welker sat at a long table at the University of Tulsa. All he wanted was a scholarship.
If you sign Wes, his mama said, you won't be sorry. If you sign Wes, he'll change your program. The coach turned to Shelley Welker and sized up her 5-foot-9 son.
"Well, my mother would like me to be head coach of the Dallas Cowboys," Keith Burns told her. "But that isn't going to happen."
This is not a story about a little man playing on the world's biggest stage. That's too cliché. It is about doors. The glass front door at the Welker home is open late Wednesday afternoon, and Wes' chocolate Lab, Nash, is lounging in the backyard. It is not a coincidence that he named the dog after Suns point guard Steve Nash, who also happens to knock around in a 180-pound body.
It is not a surprise that everyone in the Welker home has a problem sitting still. Every five minutes or so, Leland, Wes' dad, stands up and asks his guests whether they need anything to drink. He's got Coke, Coke Zero, diet, milk, water. Are you sure you don't want to try the Coke Zero?
He finally sits back down and eyes a magazine on the table that has Welker's stubbled, GQ face on the cover. It's almost too East Coast for Wes.
"It's been hard for us to talk," Leland says in a soft Oklahoma twang. "I feel like we're bragging about our kids. I hope I'm not coming across as overbearing."
He is a perfect fit, finally, in a world that measures itself with tapes, scales and 40-yard dashes. He is a big reason the Patriots are 18-0 and flirting with NFL history.
And none of it would have happened if Welker had accepted one no.
"We tried to teach that, to run after your dreams, don't let people tell you no," Shelley says.
"That's why it's such a great story. When one door would close, another one would open."
A car door opened, and Wes Welker eyeballed his first challenge. He was 2, maybe 3 days old and meeting his big brother, Lee, for the first time. Lee raised his 4-year-old fingers and pinched Wes in the nose. Hard.
"You can't do that!" Shelley said.
"Are you kidding me?" Lee says. "I would never, never let him win. And he had to get used to it. Either he was going to have to quit playing the sport of football or soccer or whatever he happened to be playing that day, or he had to get better and tougher."
Lee was actually the tame one in the family. Wes was 2½ when he climbed his first tree and sat on the roof until Leland pulled in from work. Incredible balance, unlimited energy. "Hell on wheels from the get-go," Leland says.
When Welker reached high school at Heritage Hall, a private college prep school that oozes manners, he was both exasperating and entertaining. He'd play offense, defense and special teams in practice, then dive to the line on wind sprints because no sir, he was not going to be beat.
He'd vomit at least every other week during a game. Coach Rod Warner still has it on film. See Wes run 50 yards for a touchdown, charge back onto the field to kick the extra point, then turn and ask for a minute so he can throw up on the 10-yard line.
"It wasn't nerves," Warner says. "He just pushed his body so hard.
"The people in the stands would just start applauding. He gave it all every single drill, every sprint, every play."
He became a legend in the red Oklahoma clay. Before Welker, Heritage Hall had just one 10-win season in 30 years. It has averaged 11 wins a year since. Welker led them to a state championship as a junior and scored 24 points a game as a senior in football.
And when he was named the state's Gatorade Player of the Year, his followers assumed he was headed for the big time. They didn't know prototypes. Being 5-9 was one thing. Being 5-9 with a 4.55 40-yard dash is enough to make you recruiting repellent.
He called Tommy McVay, an old friend who was working at Texas Tech.
"Tommy, he's the best player I've ever coached."
Everybody says that, McVay said.
But Tech coach Mike Leach, a spread-offense guru known around Big 12 circles as the mad scientist, tried to open his mind as he popped in the video.
"You go through the internal debate the whole time," Leach says. "Wow, he's just a little too small, ooh, he's a little too slow oh, he plays both sides of the ball?"
Welker flew to Lubbock after signing day while Leland and Shelley followed by car. Something felt right, she'd say. Like Wes was meant to be there.
Within weeks after school started, the Tech coaches were calling Welker "The Natural."
"Everybody," Leach says, "seemed to feel like he could do anything."
As Welker's numbers exploded and the legend grew, people outside of Lubbock, Texas, wanted to know more about his will. He didn't get his tenacity as the son of an oil-rig worker whose family ate when it could. His dad was an engineer for Southwestern Bell.
He never was one for much introspection. Wasn't much time for it. But he could flip from game-day serious to prankster, leaving fake dog poo at shopping malls just to watch people laugh.
"I remember when they brought him in, he was 5-7 and very unassuming," says former Red Raiders quarterback Kliff Kingsbury. "I thought he looked like a frat guy. We're offering this kid a scholarship? Definitely on looks, he didn't pass the test. But on the field, he was an unbelievable kid."
Nobody, it seemed, could get a hard shot on him. Part of it had to do with his size and a low center of gravity. Much of it had to do with his shiftiness. Although Leach considers hailing the merits of soccer as sacrilege, he figures Welker got his coordination, horizontal movement and vision from the round version of football.
Welker figured heavily into every opponents' scouting report, and when he graduated from Texas Tech in 3½ years with a business degree, he was certain he was headed to the NFL.
The NFL combine came, and Welker wasn't invited. In hindsight, his supporters say, maybe that was better. They couldn't put a tape and a stopwatch to him. Forty freaking yard dashes? In football, who runs in a straight line, anyway?
But the Welkers held two days of draft parties in 2004, and the house grew silent when the final pick was named.
If this doesn't work out, Warner told him, there are other
"Don't even go there, Coach," Welker told Warner. "I'm going to make it in the NFL. There's no other option."
The Chargers kept him through training camp, and Welker thought that meant he was safe. They cut him after the first game. One friend says Welker is "massively pissed off" at San Diego to this day, although Welker has never publicly suggested that.
Few people noticed that Welker was evolving into a go-to receiver. He led the Dolphins with 67 catches in 2006. The Super Bowl was held in Miami a few months later, and Warner went to South Beach that week to hang with Welker.
They sat at breakfast, the Monday after the Colts beat Chicago, and Welker asked whether his coach ever wanted to go to another Super Bowl.
"Wes, the next Super Bowl I'll go to is the one you're playing in," Warner said.
That might be a while in Miami, Welker said.
Two months later, Warner's cell phone rang at 1 a.m. Welker had just been traded to the Patriots.
"You know that conversation we had at the Super Bowl?" Welker asked Warner.
"Did you ever think it might be this year?"
He is so perfect here, in the land of no-nonsense. Men with stern faces walk around with purpose, as if they're headed to the bank to open an IRA minutes after they've won a playoff game. Welker quickly dresses after New England beats San Diego, the team that never gave him a chance, and heads for the door without talking to the media.
By Week 6, when the Patriots prepared for a superhyped game against Dallas, it was obvious that Welker, 26, was immersed in his surroundings. He'd gotten a text message from his brother, Lee. Big game coming up, huh? Wes texted back: They're all big.
Wes, the family joked, was turning into Bill Belichick.
A sampling of some recent Welker "sound bites":
When you did you feel you belonged in the NFL, Wes?
"I guess once I made the team."
What do you say about the Giants calling you guys a dirty team?
But it's not so odd that an undersized frat boy from Oklahoma and a man who is viewed as one of the stuffiest coaches in the NFL could be kindred spirits. Belichick wants a team full of role players. Welker fought half his life just for a role.
And while defenses keyed on stopping Randy Moss, the 6-foot-4 superstar receiver whose offseason signing overshadowed all other arrivals, Welker had a franchise-record 112 catches.
"Perfect place, the perfect situation for him," says veteran running back Kevin Faulk. "I told him when he first got here that he couldn't have come to an offense that was better for him, that fits his ability and what he does as a receiver."
A whiff of hamburger grease fills the aisles at the Nichols Hills pharmacy just before closing time, and Jay Black is about to cut the lights. His dad started the business in 1963, and it seems time, in this patch of a strip mall, has frozen there. Past the miniature metal stools and the retro napkin holders is a soda fountain and a rack of Groucho Marx DVDs for $2.99.
Welker used to ride his bike here as a kid, load up on hamburgers and chili, and charge the food to his parents. All the little kids did it. When big Wes comes back now, he'll order his $3.50 hamburger and have the same ladies behind the same counter bill it to his dad. The Welkers get a kick out of that.
"It wasn't really a big deal when he was coming in here," Black says. "We knew he was a good ballplayer. But he didn't necessarily stick out over the rest of the kids."
In this suddenly perfect world, he doesn't need to. They pray for him a few blocks up the road, in the Welker home, that he'll be safe among 300-pounders and 6-foot-3 burners who belong in the league.
Here, they always believed Wes belonged, too.
"It was all part of God's plan, and we know that," Shelley says. "It worked out just like it was supposed to."

3 tablespoons
chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup
shredded Cheddar cheese
Pretty great vegetarian enchiladas! The only comments I have are that I really prefer a saucier enchilada, so I would probably sauce it up with a traditional enchilada sauce not just topped with salsa next time. And, I ended up having to use two pans, because I could only fit 5 in my pan. When I rolled them tighter, too much of the filling fell out of the ends. This is not a quick meal because the brown rice takes so much time to cook, but it makes a large amount, so I could easily make this on an evening when I have a bit more time, to eat on a night that I don't. Thanks!
We LOVE this recipe. I think it'd be great as is, but I have made a few adjustments to make it healthier and vegan, to suit our tastes. Instead of olive oil, I cook the veggies in step 2 in veg broth. I added a chopped zucchini to that step and halve the rice to make up for it. I lined the tortilla with baby spinach before adding the mixture. I skip the cheese totally and top it with chopped cabbage. I use enchilada sauce instead of salsa. It makes a TON, so it's worth the time it takes to make this dish. It's not difficult to make, you just have to plan ahead to have it ready by the time you need it.

Increased cheese to two cups and just used my favorite enchilada sauce instead. Great for meatless Monday.
Delicious. Didn't change anything other than used white rice (that's what I had). We are not vegetarians but I made this for a guest and we all enjoyed it. Will make again.
Tasty and easy Meatless Monday meal. I used quinoa instead of the rice the second time I made it for even more nutrition.
Very good and relatively easy. I made some adjustments to handle little kid taste buds-- reduced the spices and added 1c corn to the mix. I used enchilada sauce on the side for the adults and just used cheese on the kid side in the baking dish. A hit for the whole family.
These were awesome!!! My whole family loved them and asked for more. The only change I made was instead of brown rice I used quinoa. Delicious!
Love them! Although for my tender tastebuds it is a bit spicy. I think I will reduce my crushed red pepper next time. But, excellent flavor! And I omit the green peppers and use Basmati rice.

Senate approves Oregon immigrant tuition bill
Mar 21, 2013
By JONATHAN J. COOPER
Of the Associated Press
SALEM — The Oregon Senate voted Thursday to allow some young illegal immigrants to pay resident college tuition if they were brought to the United States as children, sending the measure to Gov. John Kitzhaber who has promised to sign it.
The Senate's approval in a 19-11 vote comes 10 years after the measure was first proposed. Immigrant-rights advocates erupted in cheers the moment the bill passed, their applause echoing through the Capitol as they congratulated each other, hugged lawmakers and posed for photos.
"I can't believe it finally happened," said Karla Castaneda, a junior at Parkrose High School in Portland whose family immigrated illegally when she was 4. "Hope is with me. I know I will be able to go to college."
Critics said the state shouldn't be subsidizing a college education for people who violated the law and won't be able to work in the United States.
"Some of these folks who believe in the Constitution and believe in the rule of law need to be represented today," said Sen. Tim Knopp, a Bend Republican who voted against the measure.
At least 14 other states allow illegal immigrants to pay in-state college tuition. Colorado's Legislature approved a similar bill this month, and Gov. John Hickenlooper has said he'll sign it.
Illegal immigrants in Oregon pay college tuition at the rate charged to nonresident students, which is about $20,000 more than the cost for Oregon residents.
Starting next school year, the measure would allow students to qualify for in-state tuition if they've attended an Oregon high school for at least three years and lived in the United States for at least five. They'd also have to sign an affidavit swearing they'll apply to legalize their immigration status as soon as they are eligible.
Illegal immigrants can't legally work in the United States, but proponents say President Barack Obama's push for a federal immigration overhaul could create a pathway to citizenship for many. They say children have no control over the decision to immigrate without legal documents.
"It is just plain wrong to hold hostage the future of kids and young adults because of choices their parents have made," said Sen. Chris Edwards, D-Eugene.
The nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Office estimated that the bill would increase the state's revenue by $335,000 over the next two years and by an additional $1.6 million between 2015 and 2017. The Oregon University System estimated that 38 illegal immigrant students would take advantage of the resident tuition rates during the next two years and 80 more students would take part in the two years after that.
Sen. Doug Whitsett, R-Klamath Falls, said he was skeptical of the numbers and expected many more illegal immigrants to enroll.
"Many of the people that we represent have a lot of angst about this bill," Whitsett said. "Many are angry about what they perceive to be the inequity represented by the concept of this bill."
Illegal immigrants would not be eligible for state or federal financial aid, and they'd be subject to the same university entrance requirements as other applicants.
"They're not asking for guarantees. They're not asking for commitments. They simply want a chance," said Senate President Peter Courtney, D-Salem, who first proposed the measure in 2003.

Of course this means along with choosing a dress or pants and a top, she has to choose the right shoes and the right hair accessory. Did I mention our little diva queen is only six years old! Can't imagine what life will be when she turns 16! Anyway, I am so glad that I found out about NaartjieKids.com. We have found the most adorable dresses at this site and several have cost well under $10!

I have to say, Anaya seems to have a knack for putting together some cute outfits!
The downside: Because the items are so unique, it would be nice to see photos of the front and back of most items. Also, shipping and handling isn't included.

Hattiesburg, MS (Sports Network) - Austin Davis ran for three scores and threw for another as the Southern Miss Golden Eagles cruised to a 41-16 victory over the Marshall Thundering Herd in a Conference USA tilt.
Desmond Johnson ran for 73 yards on 13 carries for Southern Miss (4-1, 1-0 C- USA).
Brian Anderson threw a touchdown pass in defeat for Marshall (1-4, 0-1).
The Golden Eagles dominated the first quarter, as a 19-yard touchdown pass from Davis to Quentin Pierce and a six-yard Davis scoring scamper enabled the squad to grab a 14-0 lead.
Davis scored on runs of seven yards and one yard in the second quarter, and Southern Miss owned a commanding 28-0 advantage at intermission.
Danny Hrapmann nailed a 51-yard field goal with just over 10 minutes remaining in the third quarter, pushing the Golden Eagles' lead to 31-0.
Marshall finally got on the board on the ensuing kickoff, as Troy Evans raced 100 yards to cut the huge deficit to 31-7.
With just over four minutes left in that third frame, Hrapmann made the score 34-7 with a 24-yard field goal.
Marshall scored a safety early in the fourth quarter and got a six-yard touchdown pass from Anderson to Aaron Dobson with 5:45 remaining, making the score 34-16.

Greenville, NC (Sports Network) - Tyrod Taylor rushed for a touchdown and threw for 137 yards, as the 22nd-ranked Virginia Tech Hokies beat the East Carolina Pirates, 16-3, in a non-conference matchup at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.
Taylor completed 17-of-30 passes and rushed for 61 yards on 11 carries for the Hokies (6-3), who became bowl eligible for the 17th straight season with the victory. Ryan Williams rushed for 179 yards on 26 carries. Danny Coale caught six passes for 60 yards for Virginia Tech, which avoided its first three-game skid since the 2003 season. Matt Waldron made all three of his field goal attempts for the victors.
"Obviously, we ran the ball very well. We also had some good passes against their scheme. I thought Tyrod [Taylor] was great out there, keeping plays alive. He ran tough and gained some first downs for us. You need a quarterback like that at any level to be successful," Virginia Tech head coach Frank Beamer said.
Pat Pinkney connected on 16-of-33 passes for 167 yards and an interception for the Pirates (5-4), who had a two-game winning streak snapped. Alex Taylor caught five passes for 60 yards. Dominique Lindsay rushed for 69 yards on 13 carries in defeat.
"It's really frustrating to lose because I thought we played well. I thought the defense accepted the challenge and did some really good things. The offensive line played pretty well but we lacked a big play on offense," East Carolina head coach Skip Holtz said. "We just had the two turnovers in the redzone which really hurt us. There are a lot of guys in that locker room who played well enough for us to win tonight."
Down 13-3, the Pirates took over on their own four with 3:21 to play in the fourth. On 3rd-and-13, Pinkney made a big mistake when he threw an interception to Rashad Carmichael.
Virginia Tech took 1:01 off the clock before Waldron drilled a 31-yard field goal to essentially seal the victory for the visitors.
The Hokies were set up at the ECU 31 after Jayron Hosley returned a punt 33 yards. However, VT had to settle for a Waldron 41-yard field goal to make it 3-0 with about nine minutes left in the first quarter.
Virginia Tech put together a 14-play, 75-yard scoring drive with its next possession. Waldron capped the march, which lasted over six minutes in length, with a 22-yard field goal for a 6-0 lead with 51 seconds to go.
After recovering a fumble deep in their own territory, the Hokies marched down the field early in the second period. Taylor was about to score on a 16-yard run, but he lost the ball as he tried to stretch the football across the goal line. The ball went through the back of the end zone for a touchback.
Taylor's 13-yard TD run gave VT a 13-0 edge with just over two minutes remaining until the half. East Carolina responded with a 24-yard field goal by Ben Hartman to cut the deficit to 13-3 heading into the locker room.
The Pirates took their second possession of the third stanza into the red zone, but Giavanni Ruffin lost the football and VT recovered. But the third frame went scoreless.

Vinyl MediaAn All-Purpose—and Specialty—Media Option
by Gretchen A. Peck
Part 2 of a 4-part Series
No matter the project, no matter the budget, there's a vinyl substrate to do the job beautifully. Vinyl substrates may seem "a dime, a dozen," with more than a hundred different variations of the substrate available, but there's good reason for the diverse product landscape: The uses and applications in demand in the wide format digital print market are equally as diverse.
There are plenty of all-purpose vinyl substrates that are well-suited to any number of print intentions and types of inks and print technologies. The following provides a narrow snapshot of versatile solutions.
Agfa :AgfaJet Premium Vinyl (PV) is a calendared vinyl with self-adhesive backing; well-suited to both indoor and outdoor applications; features a water-resistant coating; and may be used with dye or pigmented inks.
Avery Dennison's Avery Graphics Media is an extensive selection of pressure-sensitive, adhesive-backed media, films, and scrim banner materials.
BF Inkjet Media's SignMaster Family comprises a range of indoor and outdoor vinyl solutions, including opaque scrim vinyl, and white, matte adhesive-backed vinyls.
CLEAR FOCUS Imaging ClassicVue is the most popular substrate on the supplier's menu of media. An uncoated, perforated vinyl film, compatible with solvent inkjet, UV-curable, screen, thermal transfer, and e-stat printing technologies. Ideally suited for vehicle window wraps and window signage for POP/retail/commercial applications.

Xerox Self-Adhesive Vinyl is available in several widths—24, 36, 42, and 60 inches wide.
Something SpecialIf a special project demands a special substrate, sign-shop owners might consider a specialty vinyl to do the job.
Arlon, for example, makes a 2-mil. cast vinyl that simulates an etched—or, sandblasted—appearance. Available in clear and silver, the manufacturer says it's an ideal choice for both interior and exterior applications, such as windows, mirrors, and displays.
For wallcoverings—borders, murals, and indoor banners—Cooley Group developed COLLFLEX dreamscape, a vinyl substrate available in 12 standard textured surfaces, as well as a number of custom finishes. The 20-ounce vinyl materials may be used with most solvent, eco-solvent, and UV-curable print solutions.
FLEXcon offers some unique vinyl substrates. SHIMMERcal, for example—a metallic substrate available in polyester and vinyl metal-flake films—is often used to add pop to POP displays.
GBC's Octiva Lo-Melt, available in 38"x250' rolls, is a textured vinyl that simulates printing on canvas. And the company also offers SurePrint Window Vinyl, a perforated, calendared substrate with a black adhesive for installations that require one-way viewing and privacy.
KAPCO Graphic Products developed Ultra Cast Vinyl, a 2-mil. cast vinyl film with a permanent, clear, acrylic, pressure-sensitive adhesive. It has a seven-year outdoor life expectancy, and is available in a veritable rainbow of colors.
For an intense burst of color, KAPCO also has a line of fluorescent cast vinyl films in six colors. Designed for short-term exterior life, the product conforms best to flat surfaces.
Mutoh America promotes its Mutoh Diamond Shield 20-mil. Reflective Banner as a truly unique media for billboards, lamp-post banners, and other outdoor applications. The material has a high reflectivity index, enabling the print to be seen in low-light conditions. Ambient lighting is said to cause a flashing effect that naturally attracts attention. The substrate is water-resistant and boasts a one-year outdoor life expectancy with no lamination.
As with most vinyl media, printers may apply a pressure-sensitive laminate film or liquid laminate to extend the life of the print even longer.

'Stu for Silverton' sings about small-town tolerance
A review of "Stu for Silverton," an appealing musical based on the real mayor of Silverton, Ore. — the nation's first openly transgender mayor — premiering at the Intiman Theatre Festival.
Seattle Times theater critic
Intiman Theatre Festival: 'Stu for Silverton'
By Peter Duchan and Breedlove. Through Sept. 15, Cornish Playhouse at Seattle Center, 201 Mercer St.; (888-377-4510 or www.intiman.org).
You don't often see a musical comedy in which a transgender man and the woman he fancies sing about their mutual attraction — and agree the man shouldn't have a sex-change operation.
That may be a first in "Stu for Silverton," the genially groundbreaking, appealing new show introduced by Intiman Theatre in its current summer festival.
You might expect campy razzle-dazzle in a show inspired by the transformation of the real Stu Rasmussen from a shy, small-town Oregon man into a transvestite mayor dolled up in miniskirts, high heels and tops revealing his greatly enhanced cleavage.
Surprise, surprise.
In director Andrew Russell's vivaciously clever staging, "Stu for Silverton" has more in common with "Our Town" and "The Music Man" than with "La Cage Aux Folles." It's a fond tribute to small-town Americana at its best, and to the kind of tolerance ordinary citizens can rise to.
In fact, "Stu for Silverton," sexual frankness and all, is downright wholesome. And a warmly humorous book by Peter Duchan, and surprisingly mainstream Broadway-style score by New York cabaret artist Breedlove, make it quite accessible to viewers of all gender persuasions.
With droll narration by a twinkly, bow-tied gent, akin to the Stage Manager in "Our Town" (played by a folksy Charles Leggett), it opens with a tongue-in-cheek anthem, "God Loves Silverton." As smiley adults and kids scamper about, this Oregon hamlet is framed as a perfectly square, content and neighborly oasis. It's a play on a hackneyed stereotype, but it's easy irony and the one number that could use a major trim.
As depicted here, good-natured Stu (endearing Mark Anders) is a Silverton native and movie-house owner who is a pushover when a friend needs a car fixed or a lift to Portland.
But he's also lonely and out of touch with his true nature until a movie featuring a flaming transvestite blows his mind, in a wonderful "Rocky Horror Picture Show" number. Befriended by an encouraging (and very funny) transgender Portland support group, Stu gingerly begins to cruise women's lingerie stores and dab on cosmetics.
Still, he remains attracted to the opposite sex. And in a hilarious first-date scene and risqué duet ("I Like What's Going on Down There") he meets his match in the sharp-witted, lusty Victoria, played by that scene-stealing force of nature, Bobbi Kotula.
But a guy stepping out in women's duds is no breeze in provincial Silverton. Friends are curious, wary, disgusted by Stu's new look, and begin to view the town native as an outsider ("What's Stu Up to Now?").
Then Stu comes out even further. He opposes a plan to turn Silverton's quaint downtown into a strip mall, and runs for mayor — and wins.
Though many characters and details are invented, Duchan's book follows the general outlines of the real Rasmussen's life. The show ends with what got him on the national news: When Silverton residents heard that the Westboro Baptist Church was planning a vicious, homophobic picketing of their town and new mayor, citizens got behind Stu, big-time.
In the musical, fanatical protesters march through the audience, expressing their venomous bigotry in song and signage. And when the townspeople drive them out of town with a countermarch, it's very moving.
"Stu for Silverton" has charming, low-key choreography by Mark Haim, simple, effective scenery by Jennifer Zeyl and apropos costuming by Melanie Taylor Burgess. While the acting is on the nose, the singing can be spotty.
Intiman has labeled this a work-in-progress, and requested no press critiques. But The Seattle Times decided to review "Stu for Silverton" because it is fully staged, it had previews and is now in a lengthy run, and charges regular ticket prices.
There's some work to be done here: Stu is almost too good to be true, and a less saintly protagonist might give the show a little edge. That opening number could use a revamp. And arguably, with its eager promotion of small-town values, "Stu for Silverton" can seem almost too sweet, like a triple-dip cone from an old-timey ice-cream parlor.
But such treats can be very refreshing in midsummer. And how pleasant, for a change, to see a tale of collective tolerance that happens to be true.

Salaries Down For Recent College Graduates
Posted by: Alison Damast on July 8, 2010
Just when you thought things couldn't get worse for recent college graduates, here comes another blow for those fresh to the job market. We wrote an item on our blog a few days ago about how starting salaries are continuing to fall in many fields for college graduates. Today, the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) released additional salary data that gives a more complete picture of the overall hiring climate for undergraduates. The average starting salary has slipped 1.3% compared to last year at this time, according to the NACE report. The NACE data is based on more than 9,000 job offers reported by 108 colleges and universities.
It is the second year in a row that those straight out of college have seen starting salaries decline. Back in 2009, a freshly minted graduate was being offered $49,307, while this year's figure holds at $48,661, a $646 decline.
Among the business disciplines, business administration graduates' average salary offer dropped the most, sinking 2.4 percent to $43,879. The reason for the decline? Many of these graduates are most likely being offered sales and management trainee jobs, both of which have average starting salaries below $40,000, NACE speculates in its press release. Other salary data for business graduates can be found in our earlier blog post.
For a more comprehensive look at salary data in different fields, check out the NACE
data, which details starting offers in other academic areas.

RetailNext Secures $15 Million In Growth Financing Led By StarVest Partners
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- RetailNext Inc., the leader in Applied Big Data for brick-and-mortar retail, today announced the completion of $15 million in Series C financing led by new investor StarVest Partners. All existing investors, including August Capital, participated in the round, which also added strategic investments from Nokia Growth Partners and Commerce Ventures. Timed with the new investment, Laura B. Sachar, General Partner, StarVest Partners, joined RetailNext's Board of Directors and John Gardner, Managing Partner, Nokia Growth Partners (NGP), joined as Board Observer. This round brings the total capital raised by RetailNext to $29 million.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130430/CL03959-a )(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130430/CL03959-b )(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121127/CL19234LOGO-b )
"RetailNext offers StarVest a winning combination for a growth equity investment: proven and smart management, a growing roster of customers and a unique and timely offering. The retail sector continues to embrace the RetailNext platform because there is clear value in improving performance of brick-and-mortar stores, particularly by measuring and testing myriad data sources within those walls. It's a clear fit for our data-as-a-service practice," stated Ms. Sachar.
The first technology platform to bring e-commerce style shopper analytics to brick-and-mortar stores, RetailNext enables retailers to collect and correlate data from the broadest available set of sources including video cameras, point-of-sale (POS) systems, Wi-Fi devices, and time and attendance applications. More than 60 retailers have adopted RetailNext to glean the insights necessary to increase same-store sales, reduce theft, eliminate unnecessary costs, and improve the customer experience."Considering that ninety-five percent of purchasing still takes place in the brick-and-mortar channel, it is not surprising that we've seen a strong appetite among retailers to collect the factual knowledge about shopper behavior that can directly lead to bottom-line improvement. This rapid adoption is driving more than triple year-over-year revenue growth for the company," said Alexei Agratchev, CEO of RetailNext.

South Texas report: Sam Houston blanks Islanders soccer
HUNTSVILLE - Sam Houston State's goal in the seventh minute proved to be enough as the Bearkats toppled the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi women's soccer team 2-0 Friday night.
Audrey Baldwin made six saves for the Islanders (2-13-0, 1-8-0 Southland), while Kylie Hambleton recorded the shutout for Sam Houston (7-8-1, 5-4-0). The Bearkats limited A&M-Corpus Christi to just seven shots in the game. The Bearkats got goals from Tricia Mallory early in the game and Mariah Titus at 73:31.
The Islanders will wrap up their four-game road swing at 1 p.m. Sunday at Houston Baptist.

Colorado appeals court OKs firing for off-duty marijuana use
Posted: 04/25/2013 09:05:15 AM MDT
Updated: 04/25/2013 09:14:10 AM MDT
By John Ingold
A divided Colorado Court of Appeals panel on Thursday upheld the firing of a man for off-the-job medical-marijuana use, concluding that, because marijuana is illegal under federal law, employees have no protection to use it anytime.
The decision — which is precedent-setting — has broad implications not just for medical-marijuana patients but for any adult using marijuana in Colorado since voters legalized the substance in November.

Follow us: @Denverpost on Twitter | Denverpost on Facebook
Should companies in Colorado be allowed to test and fire their employees for off duty pot use? And if yes, a follow up would be should a company be allowed to fire an employee if they can prove the employee abuses alcohol?
I know this for a fact if you are a driver for UPS and FedEx in Colorado you will be drug tested and if you test positive for marijuana you will be fired.
I tell people all the time. Legal weed will be theo worst thing for older smokers. Young ones in HS/College who dont yet care about jobs no big deal, its better. They will be able to buy weed and even 6th and 7th graders will have no problem buying it from SR's that turn 18. My nephew just graduated and told me he knew a couple kids at his HS that got med lic, already 18, and would buy the weed then sell it at school to the kids not yet old enough to go to the shops.
But for adults they will make it .5 nanograms to be DUI which means most regular smokers will test positive even without smoking. They will let companies say no job for pot smokers so you won't be able to get good work.
Well a workplace can choose not to hire you if you smoke tobacco, why not weed?
At least SOMEONE is enforcing federal law.
There's nothing wrong with this, unless you don't mind the idea of a hospital allowing its surgeons to toke up.
the process by which drugs are declared illegal is completely bogus.
think of the credit default swaps JPMorgan could issue on meth.
talk about a boost to the economy.
If you're willing to toss common sense and morality out of the window for money, then why not push to bring back slavery and child labor?
There is absolutely nothing wrong with companies choosing to do drug tests. The unfortunate thing about it though is that unless you do random testing after the initial test, there's about zero effect on the number of people you hire who do drugs. The Best Buy I worked at several years ago tested every employee before they were hired. I took the test and passed, even though I had smoked 10 days earlier. Two weeks after I was hired, I attended a party where there was a LOT of illegal substances, and the entire management staff from BOTH stores in town were there.
Pre-employment drug screenings are pretty much useless.
still, what is an illegal drug and what is a legal drug is dependent upon nefarious deciders.
drugs are immoral? please.
related to slavery and child labor? seriously?
only the rich get to play with drugs. the poor are incarcerated.

|I know this forum is for windows, but will ask my door questions since there is not a forum for that.
What is the standard width of double entry doors?
What is considered a better look, double entry doors or single entry door with one or two sidelights?
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by millworkman (email@example.com) on Thu, Feb 16, 12 at 11:01
|Standard size double doors are general 5'-0" (2 2'-6" doors), 5'-4" (2 2'8" doors), and 6'-0" (2 3'-0" doors). Appearance of double doors or single doors with sidelites is totally dependent on the person and the style of home.
- Posted by skydawggy (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Feb 16, 12 at 12:51
|Depends on where the double doors are located. Front Doors in my area are most often approx. 72x80. However rear doors such as French Doors can range between 48"-68"x80 with the most common size being 64x80. The largest sidelite offered by most door manufacturers is 14" but there are some styles available with 16" S/L.
As noted, which looks best is a matter of personal taste. I've never really seen any benefit to a double door. My personal preference is a door and 2 sidelites.
- Posted by millworkman (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Feb 16, 12 at 14:22
|I agree with skydawggy, also double doors are prone to leaking especially in a front door due to the fact that they are normally supplied with a fairly low profile sill as opposed to patio doors which are generally supplied with taller saddles.

Spin the Agencies of Record
Chevron has fired Ogilvy Government Relations over what the now former client calls a conflict of interest. The company was Ogilvy's third largest lobbying client, with the firm making $600,000 in 2011 for its work. According to reports from Ad Age and Bloomberg, Felipe Benitez from the company's PR arm, spoke to Amazon Watch, an organization that works on behalf of indigenous people. Chevron is involved in a legal battle over alleged toxic dumping in Ecuador. Ad Age is also reporting that Ogilvy PR's relationship with Yasuni National Rainforest has been put on hold. Ogilvy Government Relations made $20 million from 70 clients in 2011.

"Gianni's" and before that "The Retro."
Don't forget to share your bounty at Christmas--your gift of canned goods
(or paper goods, or cash)
to Lake Cares
is especially meaningful at the holiday season!
And of course, there will be another exciting 50/50 drawing!
Upcoming Meet and Greets--
Equality Choir!
You've heard the expression "sing for your supper." Now here's a chance to "sing for equality."
A local Lake County Choir is being formed in the Mount Dora/Tavares/Eustis area, and no choral experience is necessary.
Everyone who enjoys singing and is committed to equality for all is welcome to participate.
If you're interested in participating, please e-mail email@example.com
or call 503-830-0180.
A letter to our group
from the Executive Director
of Lake Cares:
The reason I'm writing today is to thank The Traingle Connection for supporting our cause. I know that your membership has been donating canned goods on a monthly basis for a while now, and you deserve to be recognized for that.
Please pass on my appreciation to all the fine people in your organization. Let them know that the recipients of their generosity are really thankful for what your members are doing.
Lake Cares is fortunate to be staffed by more than 140 dedicated volunteers. And, because of actions taken by groups such as yours, we were able to provide much needed food in 2013 to 19,205 children and adults in 6,077 families. With your continued support, there's no doubt we will exceed those numbers this year.
I urge you to keep up the spirit of giving. Needy people in Lake County depend on the goodness of kind-hearted individuals such as the folks in The Triangle Connection. You are making a difference.
Once again, thank you very much for what you've accomplished thus far and for all your future efforts.

Boardwalk-inspired games, funhouse mirrors, sparkling dartboards and an endless supply of the sparkling liqueur, Nuvo, set the celebratory vibe at the private press reception for rapper Flo Rida's new album, Only One Flo (Part 1). The festive event, held in New York City's Carnival, complemented the rapper's up-tempo catalog of club hits such as "Low," "Right Round," and his latest chart topper, "Club Can't Handle Me". Rolling out decided to dig beneath the fun surface and tap into Flo Rida's serious thoughts as he talked about being weary of relationships, mainstream hip-hop's glamorization

Flo Rida on Tupac: "On the song, "Come With Me" I use Tupac. I sample his lyrics. I don't necessarily use him talking but it's me using some of the "Hail Mary" lyrics.

text: 5 GreatAndyKAP | 04/09/2007 | See all AndyKAP's reviews (1)I have to begin with saying this is a great piece of kit easy to set up and works like a charm. I dont have a wireless connection so I bought this. if I did i wouldnt buy it. Fairly obvious I think. I think submitting a review to say it is pointless if you have a wireless connection is a pointless task, If like me you actually wanted to know HOW GOOD IT PERFORMS ON A WIRED CONNECTION BECAUSE YOU DONT HAVE A WIRELESS ONE, it is fab. Please ignore the reviews dismissing it as pointless, as they are missing the point of submitting a review - which would be to add an assesment of how good something performs at the task it was designed to do, in this case, brilliant.

Watching Your Waist

Find out how many calories are in some of your favorite holiday foods...
Quick, easy, sweet and delicious.
There's no denying some of the tastier things in life come with a price.
But all those added calories can lead to bulging bellies.
For example, working off a little mac-and-cheese requires four miles of running.
Food comes with consequences.
That's something nutritionist Dr. Judy Siegel can't stress enough.
"We eat casually, mindlessly, without thinking about how am I going to get rid of this thing? The body counts every calorie. We all know celery is a freebie and I guess radishes are too, but it stops there," she explains.
Craving something sweet?
That piece of cake with frosting you are pining for can cost you 250 calories.
Working that off means 22 minutes of jumping rope or high-impact aerobics.
Knowing how much you have to sweat to burn off snack calories helps you look at food in a whole different way.
Dr. Siegel says a good rule of thumb is to look at the nutrition label, then divide the number by 100 to find out roughly how many miles it would take to get rid of the food.

For me this would be the most exciting release all year.
Thievery is the sequel of the original Thievery: Unreal Tournament by Black Cat Games using the latest UDK.
Keeping you up to date with current events in the world of Thievery 2 - May 2013 edition.
Posted by chiefwhosm on May 18th, 2013
So, a small update as to the progress of the team.
Firstly and importantly I'd like to say that Yes! I did delete the offensive comments from our profile stating (incorrectly) that we're a bunch of "kiddos" and that this was a dead game, as well as the other comment that we were stealing content from The Dark Mod (again, completely false - the content was from Night-Blade and used with permission). I should like to remind people that posting (polite word:) nonsense on any pages of the Thievery 2 Development team will get your comment removed. We don't mind criticism, but there are limits when it's pure libel.
Secondly now that the unpleasantries are out of the way, I should like to say that there's a new leader (well two of them) who I'm sure you'll be pleased to get to know. Due to my recent ill health and therefore leaving the team, but the fact that we are all keen on seeing Thievery 2 reach the shadow of night (;)) Grimmsie and Industrialism have now taken on the role of joint-leaders in addition to their normal mapping and modelling tasks.
Thirdly you'll be pleased to know that our coder (Appollonius) has now managed to clear away his work enough to spend free time coding again.Iin recent months most progress has been made in the mapping and especially the modelling/animating departments, so it's good that the code will soon be making a quicker head way.
And finally you may have spotted that we now have a public forum over on the Thievery 2 games' profiles. This is a place to have your say, meet the team and - well, you get the general idea.
Finally?!?! You cry! (or weep, wail and whinge). What of the content updates to the images and videos section!
Well, quite right! The team will no doubt be posting alot more here somewhat soon. You'll notice that the development team is now labelled the Thievery 2 Devs, this is a sign of the dedication the team are commiting into getting you a game THIS YEAR ! (if all goes well- subject to change - your consumer rights are not affected).
For me this would be the most exciting release all year.
