As students head back to school, this week's stories will feature different families and the education choices they make, their reasons and why their schools are right for them.
Smith Academy for Excellence, or SAFE, announced its formation back in February, and today, six months later, SAFE students begin classes.
The school's co-founder, Thomas Smith, served Fort Wayne Community Schools for nearly 30 years as a teacher and administrator. Smith will lead the school with his two sons, Corey and Cameron, who are also educators.
Smith said SAFE, the area's first all-boys school, will offer families something different.
"SAFE will be a true alternative to the traditional school setting. The schedule and culture will be unique and innovative," said Smith. "Our goal is to enrich the lives of young men and their communities."
The charter is authorized by Grace College and will be managed by Leona Group LLC, the same charter management company that runs Timothy L. Johnson Academy on South Anthony Boulevard.
Smith had hoped the school could locate in a new building on the city's southeast side, but funding challenges have moved the charter's location closer to downtown, in St. John Lutheran School's former school building.
Here are some of the students who will be attending:
Jay Thomas, 8th grade
Previous school: Lane Middle School, Ward Education Center
At first, Jay Thomas said he liked Lane Middle School, but when he went into seventh grade, things changed. He said he felt "ganged up on" by his teachers and struggled with his work because of distractions in class. He said often when students acted out, the entire class would get off-topic, and he came home with nearly-failing grades.
Jay's mom, April, began receiving calls from school that Jay was talking too much in class and wouldn't stay in his seat. She said she had Jay tested for Attention Deficit Disorder, but found Jay didn't suffer from it. April said she would go into school and sit with Jay in class to help him stay on task.
"All the kids were doing the same thing (as Jay was said to be doing)," she said. "Teachers didn't have control over the classroom."
April said her request to change Jay's schedule was denied.
"I didn't know what else to do," she said.
Eventually, Jay was suspended from Lane for disruptive behavior and sent to Ward Education Center, Fort Wayne Community Schools' alternative school for at-risk students. While at Ward, Jay's grades improved, and he forged good relationships with some of his teachers.
At the start of this school year, Jay would have returned to Ward, but only until October, when he would be sent back to Lane. April believed the situation would revert.
So when she heard about Fort Wayne's first all-boys school, she thought it might be a good option for her son. Like Ward, SAFE offers small class sizes and requires students to wear a uniform. After an orientation session, Jay also liked the idea of the school, especially when he saw a favorite teacher at Ward would be teaching at SAFE.
"He said to me, 'Yeah, Mom, I want to go here,'" she said.
April said Jay felt before that he couldn't talk to his teachers, but at SAFE he will have his own community mentor to whom he can talk and ask questions.
She also said the system of rewarding students for completing work, like being able to go on field trips and participating in sports, will help Jay as well as the school's focus on character education, "teaching him how to become a young man," she said.
Jeffery Hidy, 7th grade
Previous school: Carroll Middle School
It's likely that on his first day at a new school, Jeffery Hidy will be a little nervous.
He doesn't know any other students at SAFE, but hopes that with some more individual attention, he can improve his C average.
Hidy said at his previous school, Carroll Middle School, there could be as many as 35 students per class. With so many students, teachers don't always have time for individual attention.
Hidy said sometimes he couldn't get his questions answered during class or maybe a teacher was too busy with other students. He said he often came home not knowing how to do his homework, and most of the time his parents couldn't help.
He said it is sort of a drag that the school is all-boys, but hopes it will be the right fit for him.
"(SAFE) sounded cool. It might be a little bit harder, but I think it will help me be successful."
Gnostic Martin, 9th grade
Previous school: Northrop High School
Larissa Martin calls SAFE, "the answer to my prayer."
Larissa's first four children all attended Canterbury School, but her son Gnostic, also known as G, didn't want to go to Canterbury because he wanted to play football. He attended Jefferson Middle School and Northrop High School for his ninth grade year, which he will repeat at SAFE.
"He didn't transition well into Northrop," Larissa said. "Academically, he had a bad year. He didn't get very many credits his freshman year. Every day, it was something different."
Gnostic said at Northrop he was left without a third-period class for the first few days of school. Fights in the hallway caused disruptions, and one day he was beaten in the bathroom.
"That's when I decided to turn my life over to God," he said.
Gnostic now carries his Bible around, but over the summer a popped blood vessel in his eye was evidence that he hadn't escaped the violence at school. He was "jumped" outside a youth center shortly before the start of the school year.
He's hoping a new school can really be a fresh start. Larissa believes the school will have an impact not just for Gnostic, but for other young black men in the community.
"All these killings recently … those are because of the education system. Young men do not have access to mentors in the community."
Both Larissa and Gnostic have also been impressed with Thomas Smith.
"He actually cares," Gnostic said. "(SAFE teachers) are out to help you. I'm actually looking forward to school starting.
Larissa said she's heard nothing but positive feedback about Smith and hopes his example can break through stereotypes in students' minds and in the community.
"People say black people can't do math. Thomas Smith is an example of an educated black man who teaches math."
Gnostic said he felt disrespected by many of his teachers in the other schools he attended, but thought all the SAFE teachers he's met make it a priority to give respect to students in order to get respect back. Although he said he was hesitant about the school at first, because it is all-boys, he's excited about the upcoming year.
"When the school opened, I felt like it opened just for me, a tailor-made school. Except without the girls," Gnostic said.

More Eggs To Come
It's an hour before dawn and Dorothy is sleeping on the perch in front of her nest. (See her at the left edge of the photo.)
The fact that she isn't incubating her eggs indicates she will lay at least one more, possibly two.
Peregrines don't begin incubation until their clutch is nearly complete.
So we'll have a couple more days of egg-watching ... and then she'll begin The Big Sit.
Update, March 25, 10:00am:
Looks like Dorothy and E2 have begun incubation. One more egg? Two?

APTOS -- In the preseason, Harbor High's boys soccer team had been handed a brutal three-goal loss by North Monterey County. But that didn't weigh heavy on the mind of first-year Pirates coach Michael Vahradian as his team prepared to take the field at Aptos High for the rematch Saturday in the Central Coast Section Division III quarterfinals.
In fact, he dismissed it altogether.
"We are going to be successful for sure. We have come along way since then," Vahradian confidently said before his team's noon kickoff.
Then, his team went out and proved its coach right. Harbor notched the first two goals, then held on to beat the Condors 4-2. The win advances the Pirates (13-5-3) to the semifinals for the first time in more than five years, despite gaining several high seeds in previous years. They will take on No. 10 Menlo (14-5-3) -- a 2-0 upset winner over No. 2 Soledad -- on Wednesday at a time and place to be announced.
For the first 15 minutes, the raucous crowd of about 300 was left wondering not if NMC (10-9-3) was going to score, but just how many. With their crisp play, the Condors manufactured countless chances to put the ball in the back of the net. The result could have easily gone the other way if NMC had capitalized on its many early efforts.
When forward Gerardo Ramirez smashed a shot from the edge of the 18-yard box that clanged against the crossbar -- after being finger tipped by diving Harbor goalkeeper Nathan Pisciotta -- it seemed to awaken the Pirates, who until then were falling back on their heels.
The Pirates settled down and began stringing passes together. This led to a pretty combination down the right hand side in the 24th minute, when right winger Oliver De La Rosa deftly fed the streaking German exchange student and center-forward Max Ehle. Ehle never even had to change his stride as he calmly stroked the ball into the far left corner of the goal for the first score of the game.
Harbor wasn't finished there, and after being awarded a free kick just outside the box in the 33rd, the NMC defense was caught napping and Edwin Puga took advantage. He snuck behind the wall to greet a quick pass from Freddy Mata and one-timed it into the side netting.
North County knew it had to score quickly after halftime to get back into the game. Its opportunity came in the 46th minute, when the Condors benefitted from a controversial penalty call for a hold in the penalty box on a corner kick. Juan Ramon Medina stroked the penalty to his right. Goalkeeper Efrain Serna made a diving save but the ball deflected back to the feet of Medina, who confidently drilled it into the back of the net.
That was as close as North Monterey County would find itself in the game. Harbor settled down after the score and notched two more goals in the half. Puga scored again in the 54th minutes and De La Rosa added another in the 62nd.
NMC got the final score from Gerardo Ramirez in the 77th.
"I think we just played our best game of the year," Puga said.

Amid a climate of teacher layoffs and pay cuts in California schools, Ramona Unified School District hired teachers back today.
Three weeks before the first day of school, 11 teachers who received layoff notices in the spring were asked to return to the classroom.
The layoff notices were issued on the assumption that two bills in the California Legislature, which would make teacher layoffs less costly to school districts, would be passed by the June 30 state budget deadline. But the measures have stalled.
Ramona district officials estimate that giving the teachers their jobs back will add $16,000 in costs for this school year.
Current laws regarding pay for tenured teachers who are laid off and the penalties for large class sizes would have cost about $794,000. Keeping the teachers on staff adds about $810,000 to the payroll.
"It's a no brainer at this point," Superintendent Robert Graeff said. "We're taking this one year at a time, and right now it's a good thing for us."
The layoffs would have increased class sizes in kindergarten through third grade, causing the district to pay about $336,000 in penalties. If estimates for enrollment this school year are correct, class sizes for those grades will be 20 students to one teacher, with the exception of one school that will be 21 to one. The district will pay a small fee for that school.
Bringing the teachers back should save the district about $458,000 in pay to substitute teachers, because state law requires districts to first hire tenured teachers who were laid off as substitutes and pay them the amount they made per day when they were full time. For Ramona Unified, that would have been about $350 a day for each substitute. Substitutes usually earn about $100 a day.
The bills in the state Legislature would have alleviated fees for increased class size and the requirement to pay for the tenured teachers to substitute. The legislative stall may mean bad news for the bottom line, but at least for this year, it's good news for teachers.
"This year we're going to be OK," Graeff said. "We're close to the end of our resources, but we're going to pay our bills. Next year we're upside down."
The layoffs were based on seniority. Two teachers who received notices in the spring of 2009 will not be asked to return because they were not tenured. They would not have been paid the higher substitute rate, Graeff said.
A teacher becomes tenured after working for the school district for two years and being hired back for a third.
Ramona Unified operates 10 schools, including six elementary, and works with a budget of about $50 million a year, Graeff said.
The district has taken other measures to cope with state budget cuts, such as layoffs of maintenance staff, elimination of six administrative positions in the past four years, halting capital improvements and freezing orders for new books.
This year's fix may be temporary, because hiring the teachers back only makes financial sense without the passage of the state bills that would make teacher layoffs more palatable for school districts.
"It's going to be a while before the state has dollars to give us," Graeff said.
The district has fewer than 7,000 children and enrollment has declined for nine consecutive years, he said.

Many people cannot imagine that they can have a million bucks in their hands, what with a miserable salary and the high daily expenses that they are experiencing now.
It can be achieved, if you really really want it.
1) You must be very sure WHY you need $1,000,000. If you just wish you had it, you will not get it. But if you really want it badly enough, you WILL get it. Start to imagine what you can do with this money. Visualise it, imagine how it feels to have no more worries about insufficient money at the end of every month. Do you really really need $1,000,000? No? Then don't waste your time wishing and dreaming about it. Yes? Then you must read on.
2) Check your inner value system. Do you like money? Do you equate having lots of money as evil? When you look at the rich guy driving a Lambo into his mansion, do you curse and say that he probably inherited his wealth? If you don't like people who has the millions, you will not get your million. Got it?
3) Once you decided that you MUST have $1,000,000 , ask yourself when? WHEN do you want that million bucks? Don't kid yourself next year or 5 years from now. There is a price to pay for making this decision.
4) HOW are you going to get that million bucks? If you continue to do what you have been doing for the past 10 years, you will not get it. Insanity is doing the same things and expecting different results. This will be the most difficult part for some people. There are many legal ways to achieve your financial success. Business ventures, IT related ventures, new inventions, new way of saving our earth, property speculation, stocks and shares, forex trading….and many more. Explore your options.
5) TAKE ACTION. Deciding to be rich is not enough. Get off your butt and start moving towards your goal. The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step…in the right direction!

Hi, I had a dermal fat graft 2 strips of skin taken from my lower bikini line and threaded through my upper and lower lips 2 years ago. I do not like the way it looks. Both lips protrude to much and my teeth don't show as much anymore. I also have a lump in the center of my lower lip. Can I have lip reduction to correct this. I understand that a strip of skin will have to be cut out of both lips. Is this safe and will it effect the movment of my lips?
Lip Reduction to Correct Skin Grafts Threaded Through Lips
Doctor Answers 4
Los Angeles Lip Reduction Surgery following Lip Enhancement
Hello and thank you for the question.
It is possible to undergo a lip reduction and symmetry correction procedure following lip enhancement with dermal fat grafts. The procedure does involve incisions and depending on the severity of your case, perfectly symmetric results are not always attainable. Without seeing photographs, I cannot determine where you lie on the spectrum of complexity. Additionally, keep in mind that lip surgery of this sort will have considerable post-procedural swelling, lasting weeks and weeks, especially in patients with a past history of lip surgery such as your.
I recommend highly you consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Facial Plastic Surgeon who has ample experience in lip enhancement and reduction surgery.

Reversing a Lip Augmentaion often possible
Yes it is possible to reduce your lips to more of your liking in general, but without an exam or photos the specific technique in unclear. You should be able to move your lips well following the surgery. My Best advice; see a board certified plastic surgeon.
Reversing lip augmentation
You have a challenging problem and it is best managed by someone who can see you face to face and who can evaluate your concerns to determine the best course of action. If the graft is actually the lumps, then it makes sense to go after it. If the lips are just lumpy, then you could focus on the more concerning areas, perhaps taking baby steps in trying to appreciate how you heal following such procedures. Best of luck in achieving your goals.

Sam Stinnett Wins in OBX
By Shawn Kenny
Sunshine, sunshine, it's fine, I feel it my skin, warming up my mind. Day 2 was the polar opposite of day 1. Wind was offshore but more importantly the sun was shining! Quarterfinals were pretty stacked the one that sticks out the most in my mind was quarter B: Blair Conklin, John Joyce, Morgan Just and Dave Scott. I was glad I was not judging because it was a close one! Blair had a few lofty fronside airs that landed him a spot in the semifinals with Morgan coming in second. There was a rip current on the north side of the contest zone creating the only peak in the zone. As the tide filled in the conditions got worse and worse. The trough got ugly and the swell quickly dissipated with the offshore wind for the semifinals and final. I missed the semis because I was three-quarters of a mile up the beach catching waves to myself. (Sorry Peluso) The 5th and 6th skim off was primarily a technical heat. Mo Just had a few switch and Austin had a sick frontside 3 shuv reentry and was able to prevail. The final consisted of Blair Conklin, Perry Pruitt, Sam Stinnett and Jackson Tenney. The final was just as technical as the 5th and 6th skimoff! 3 shuvs on the way out, off the lip, out the back and back to shore. Jack was going for huge shuv it grab variations out the back but couldn't quite get any back under his feet. Blair had a few wrap to variations of big spins, 3 shuvs and 180s. Local boy Perry found himself a few barrels and a huge wrap to airdrop. Sam was able to find the diamonds in the rough! It was pretty close between the three but Sam pulled out the win which his second in a row! This win will narrow the lead that Austin Keen has to less than one hundred points! Will the world tour come down to Oktoberfest again this year? You can be the judge of that. Jackson Tenney won the SkimUSA pro tour landing him a 1000 dollar check! The gnome which is given to the best trick in a 15 minute expression session was won by Jake Luke who landed a benihana. Willy Cunard won the 32 competitor semi-pro division, selected to go pro and pocketed 800 dollars. Welcome to the ranks Willy!

How to play Football
by: Blake K.
Have you ever wanted to know how to play football? Do you want to play football? Well read this book and find out the basics about how to play football.
Now the first thing I'm going to tell you about and probably one of the most important things is the rules. But I probably won't get all of them because there's too much to count but I will get the important ones.
·There can only be eleven players on the field at once.
·You cannot grab another player's facemask.
·you cannot hold on to someone if you have lost control of them.
·You cannot hit someone after the play is over.
·You can only tackle the guy with the ball.
·if there is a receiver on the line the tightened on that side cannot go out for a pass.
let's talk about offensive positions. First there is the line. In the middle is
the center, and then there is two guards on both sides of the center with two
tackles on both sides of the guards. There can also be tightened on either side
of the tackles but he is not always there. Also,
there can be a slot back behind the tightened and basically all they do is
block for the quarterback who throws or hands off the ball. Behind the quarter
back is a running back and a fullback and basically all they do is run the
ball. There is also a receiver of to the side but he does not always have to be
there (there can be as much as the coach wants). Now
let me tell you about defense. The lines basically the same but about three
yards from the line there are three linebackers and about seven yards from the
linebackers is a safety with one other guy off to the side that covers the receiver.
So that's basically the basics on Football and the end of my book I hope you
enjoyed it.

Hoffman comes up just short
Charley Hoffman came up one stroke short of forcing a playoff Sunday.
So what went wrong? Not much, save for probably one or two shots.
"I mis-clubbed a couple times, the wind in the wrong direction didn't help you when I thought it was helping," Hoffman said. "All in all, the bogey on 14 sort of killed my round. If I hit the tee shot in the fairway I had a chance to go for it in two, ended up in the cactus and had a chance for par.
"That's all I had. That sort of slowed me down. Catch one there, you never know."
Still, Hoffman did about all he could, shooting a final-round 68 ( click here to replay the round ) -- only one score was lower on Sunday.
He'll also remember his ride in an Air Force jet earlier this week.
"The best part of my week was going up in the jet fighter on Tuesday and seeing what those guys do for a living," Hoffman said. "It's amazing what these guys put their bodies through."

Amazing Grandpa Writes Off Bigoted Daughter for Disowning Her Gay Son
Amazing Grandpa Writes Off Bigoted Daughter for Disowning Her Gay Son
Funny thing about grandparents: As incredibly helpful and loving as they can be, it seems like more often than not, whenever they get in the middle of parent/child interactions their "advice" makes things a million times worse. Or, at the very least, their input doesn't help matters much and usually ends up pissing their kid/grandchild's parent off, big time. Anyway, this is one story where the absolute opposite is true -- to the extreme! This is a story in which the grandparent has every reason (and then some) to question his child's parenting abilities. See, the grandpa who wrote the letter pictured here is, quite possibly, the best, most progressive grandpa ever. In fact, let's just call him St. Grandpa from here on out, okay?
So, St. Grandpa's daughter -- let's call her Mean & Small-Minded Mom -- apparently kicked her son Chad out of the house when he told her he was gay. (His name really is Chad, according to the letter. Otherwise I would've called him Awesome Gay Son or something.) Horrible, horrible, horrible. And completely heartbreaking. Which is exactly what grandpa thought -- and wrote, intelligently and eloquently, as you'll read. Thank god Chad has somebody on his side!!!
Now, when I first read this story, I thought, Huh. How interesting, usually grandparents are less progressive than their own kids as parents. But the truly mysterious thing about this situation isn't why the member of a younger generation is the more conservative, it's how this amazing grandfather could ever have raised such a heartless and bigoted daughter. As a mom, I can't even imagine how disappointed and heartsick the man must be. How, how do kids go so far off course?? Here, again, is the letter -- trust me, reading it is worth every second of your time:
Amazing, right? Who knows, maybe there's still time for this woman to learn a valuable lesson from her father. Maybe there's still time for her to step up to the plate as a mom. Either way, Chad is going to be just fine, I'm sure, thanks to St. Grandpa.
Is this guy the best grandpa ever or what?
Is there anything your child could ever do or be that would cause you to disown them?
That is one amazing, awesome grandpa.
I don't think there is anything that would cause me to disown any of my kids. Not speak to them for a while, possibly, but not completely cut them out of my life.
I like the gist of the letter and agree, sad to see a family so divided though
I can't imagine disowning my kids, I don't even think I am capable.
St. Grandpa's letter is awesome! Though, without knowing more about the family dynamics, or hearing the daughter's side (maybe there was more to it than her son being gay). I am not 'feeling it'. Something about this seems 'off'. It seems like rash decisions run in the family! She kicks her son out and disowns him... and her Dad sends her this letter and disowns her. This family needs communication skills!
Now if this were my family - I would be getting emails, phone calls and maybe even a VISIT from my father demanding me to disown my son or daughter. He would probably even threaten to take DD (if it was her) away to his house to "make it go away". I hate to sound cynical - but I don't believe this letter is real. Something is setting me off -I don't know whether it's the handwriting, the grid paper. He must have been over at least 18 for her to kick him out and NOT have legal repercussions for it - depending on state some states allow it at 16 - and if that's the case, then I'm sorry but she had every RIGHT to ask him to leave. I'm a 100% pro gay, but if my child was doing things I didn't agree with; sex, drugs, alcohol, too much dating, parties, etc - I would ask them to leave regardless of sexuality issues or no sexuality issues. Something makes me think "hoax" or - there's more to the story then we know.
Most likely something like that! Or something involving murder. It's very scary to think of your child being a murderer so I might not be by her side if she was one

ST Aerospace (Booth G01) has acquired completion design specialist DRB Aviation of San Antonio, Texas, and on Monday announced plans to enter the VIP cabin interior business. The new subsidiary of the Singaporean group will trade under the name of Aeria Luxury Interiors.
In fact, ST Aerospace already has a presence in Texas in the form of maintenance, repair and overhaul service provider STA San Antonio, and one of its hangars is being converted into a VIP completions center. Among other things, this involves setting up various workshops for cabinetry, upholstery and electrical works.
Ron Soret, Aeria's general manager of completions, told AIN this should be ready by May 1. "We have already provided several quotations [for cabin outfitting projects] and been shortlisted on two projects," he said. The new hangar can house aircraft up to the size of a Boeing 747-400.
DRB Aviation has previously worked on aircraft ranging from the Learjet 25 to Boeing BBJs and Airbus ACJs. "Sometimes we were responsible for the completion from A to Z, sometimes we just worked on design or certification," said Don Bell, DRB Aviation president.
Soret believes that many Asian business aviation customers currently flying on conventional size business jets, such as Hawkers or Gulfstreams, will progressively move to big bizliners, such as ACJs and BBJs. In the future, Aeria may also have completion facilities in Asia but Soret estimated it will take "five years or more."
Separately, ST Aerospace last month received a license to establish an aircraft repair facility in Guangzhou, China. It is a joint venture with Guangdong Airport Management Corp., which has a 51 percent stake. Expected to begin operations in the second half of 2013, it will perform maintenance, repair and overhaul for Airbus, Boeing and McDonnell Douglas aircraft.
In ST Aerospace's new projects, Dr. Yip Yuen Cheong, senior vice president for the company's engineering and development center, also mentioned the engine leasing joint venture it formed last year with Japan's Marubeni. Dubbed Total Engine Asset Management, it offers support for CFM56 turbofans for Boeing 737s and Airbus A320s, "for now," he said.

With a second straight loss, this one a 109-85 defeat to the Western Conference champion San Antonio Spurs on Monday night at the Wells Fargo Center, the Sixers fell back to an even .500 (see Instant Replay).
Hey, it had to happen sooner or later.
Regardless, the veteran-laden Spurs showed no sign of slowing down, improving to 7-1 this season for the second-best record in the NBA. The 4-4 Sixers will look to bounce back on Wednesday when Houston comes to town.
Here are a few things that popped out at is during Monday night's game.
1. The Spurs are good
It's one thing for a team to execute and to run a crisp offense with a ton of ball movement. But it's another to play as hard as the Spurs. Mix the execution with the tenacity and it's a pretty lethal mix.
Of course, it doesn't hurt that the Spurs have committed the third-fewest turnovers in the league and have the fifth-best shooting percentage in the West.
More telling is the Spurs ripped the Knicks by 31 points on Sunday afternoon and played without future Hall of Famer Tim Duncan against the Sixers on Monday, and didn't miss a beat.
It's not going to last forever. Eventually Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, etc. will retire and move on. But for now there are few teams that get after it like the Spurs. Enjoy it while it lasts.
2. Turner creeping out
The Sixers' leading scorer poured in 20 more points against the Spurs on Monday night and was one of the few players that had any production worth mentioning in the loss to the Spurs. And though Turner's scoring is up slightly over the last two games, his efficiency has dipped.
Turner scored a career-high 31 points on 9 for 23 shooting in the double-OT loss on Saturday with 13 shots from deeper than 15 feet. Against the Spurs, Turner chucked up eight more from beyond 15 feet.
The result: 5 for 21 on shots 15 feet or longer. On shots from 14 feet and closer, Turner was 13 for 23.
3. Hawes posting numbers
It's a contract year for Sixers center Spencer Hawes and, as expected, his stat lines have been consistently good. On Monday, Hawes notched his fifth double-double (17 points, 13 boards) and got there in record time.
Hawes grabbed his 10th rebound with 10:49 left in the third quarter after sitting on nine for more than half of the second quarter.
4. MCW vs. Tony Parker
This one didn't go very well for the rookie. In 32 minutes, Michael Carter-Williams went 2 for 11 for eight points, with four assists and two turnovers. Both of Carter-Williams' field goals came on layups and he went 2 for 6 on shots in the paint.
The veteran Parker logged just 29 minutes, but shot 7 for 12 for 14 points with nine assists. Conversely, Parker went 5 for 5 on shots in the paint.
Parker played just 26 minutes in the blowout victory over the Knicks on Sunday, hitting 8 for 12 from the field.
5. Orton sits out again
With Duncan taking a rest, big man Daniel Orton figured to log some minutes against the Spurs. Instead, the center sat out for the third straight game with a sore knee.

Ask Experts & Get Answers to Your Questions - ASAP
The problem with your effort is, that there are so many sources from which the political parties can get your names. You can add to this that while you can register with direct marketing "Do Not Call" and Do Not Mail lists and such, the laws governing these sources very neatly exempted public office from solicitations for funds. This has resulted in political parities and causes being one of the largest direct mail marketers in the nation.
In a moment, I am going to refer you to a web site that lists every agency that sells your name and address to direct marketers, including some used by political parties.
First, I noticed that you dismissed out of hand, the suggestion to mark "DECEASED" on your mail and return it. This was actual a very good ploy for several reasons.
The other problem with trying to use the post office to eliminate your junk mail, is the post office it self sells your name and address to political organizations, and shares its "Change of Address" system with government agencies and official semi-government and public offices like: (a) the IRS, (b) the national headquarters for the Republican Party, (c) The social Security administration, etc.
So your next attach needs to be to change your address by purchasing a mail boxes are us box or a regular U.S. Postal box, and do not use a change of address card.
You can write the agency that handles the postal service's change of address system to ask them to remove your name from the list.
Your Drivers licenses today, are used for voter registration in many states. As you update your driver's license, you are asked to register to vote. Both the voter registration card gives all registered political parties access to your address and contact information. In addition, the DMV sells your address and contact information to third party vendors.
the only solution for these political organizations, is to call them individually and ask them to take you off the list, followed up with a post card with the same information. If you request it, they have to comply.
You need to write a letter to the DMV in order to have them stop providing your contact information to third parties.
NOTE: recent fair credit reporting and consumer protection laws, limit which contact information can be given, but your name, address, and phone number are still fair game.
The sources I have just mentioned are the chief source for political parties and causes to get your name and contact information. Unlike the do not call list, there is no National Do not Mail list.
If you have a magazine on hunting Gard out doors, you may get a political mailing from the Green Peace organization, or Save the Animals, etc. The only way you can attach the political causes is to also contact the magazines you subscribe to, and make sure you revoke the right for them to include you name on lists sold to third parties.
Like wise on the INTERNET. You need to make sure you block the emails, but wait until you have respond to at least one of each organizations email, where it says, remove me from the list.
Here is the site for dealing with all th organizations who sell your name. This will take you some time, but it will be worth it.
In the future, you need to make sure you do not use change of address cards, and with each and every enrollment, driver's license renewal, bank loan, etc, make sure you do not give permission to sell your contact information. http://www.motherearthnews.com/Homesteading_and_Self_Reliance/1994_August_September/Stop_Junk_Mail_Forever
I would also like for you to take a look at this web site:
You can file a complaint for everyone that sends you junk mail after you have requested that they stop.
This is not going to be easy, it is a battle. But you can win it.
Remember, a war is not won on one front or Battle, it is won by the accumulation of wins on all fronts.
Make sure you contact all the agencies in the list on the web site I gave you.
Make sure you contact all the agencies who are sending you junk mail. (A postal card will do).
Mark deceased on all your junk mail and return it.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
You may meet and apply to adopt Jaxon at our ADOPTION EVENT on SATURDAY, MAY 4th from 12 Noon - 3:00 at PETCO in COSTA MESA. firstname.lastname@example.com
Jaxon is a male Havanese / Terrier mix approximately 3 years of age. He has gorgeous, flowing tricolor gray fur with tan and cream mixed in. Jaxon is a stocky, sturdy boy currently weighing 14 pounds. His ideal weight should be 16-18 pounds. His compact body is topped off by a banner of a tail which arches proudly up over his back. Jaxon is a complete and total love. He is so sweet and friendly, excellent with children and good with other dogs. You can take Jaxon anywhere and he simply loves to be included right by your side. Jaxon is very affectionate with people and would do anything for some love. He is very eager to please. He will make an outstanding choice for a family pet and will be the kind of dog that is always faithfully by your side. Jaxon enjoys walking on leash and can easily keep up for a romp at the park, a trip to the beach, or even a hike. He has a zest for life and an outgoing, healthy level of energy. Jaxon has deep dark brown eyes that are a bit sad from lack of love. He was dumped at the shelter by his "owners" who said they just didn't want a dog anymore. Jaxon was obviously confused and overwhelmed by this callous choice when he found himself suddenly sleeping on concrete rather than safe in his own home. He is such a gorgeous, well mannered, sweet young dog we can't really understand it either. Jaxon is a wonderful pet, would thrive on being pampered, snuggled with, and he loves a treat or two. He will sit very nicely when being offered a tasty morsel. Jaxon is excellent inside the home and never any trouble. His world has been shaken and he is looking for a family who will be as loyal to him as he is to his people. Jaxon wants the security of a forever home he can count on. He won't let you down! Jaxon is very healthy and ready for his new family today.
Jaxon's adoption donation is $350 (*TAX DEDUCTABLE). He has been NEUTERED, MICROCHIPPED, VACCINATED, DEWORMED, DEFLEAED and PROFESSIONALLY GROOMED. Also included is his collar with ID, harness, leash, folder with all of his records, a great PETCO coupon book, and a fun goodie bag with toys, etc.
Jaxon is being fostered by Pet Match Rescue Foster Volunteer, Sharon and is ready for his forever home.
You may meet and apply to adopt Jaxon at our ADOPTION EVENT on SATURDAY, MAY 4th from 12 Noon - 3:00 at PETCO in COSTA MESA located at 1815 Newport Blvd., Costa Mesa, CA 92627. email@example.com

Ever Wonder Why…
…children seem to be able to learn a language so quickly?
It's not just your imagination. Researchers have clearly demonstrated that children can learn a language more quickly than can an adult. Dr. Elissa Newport, Ph.D., demonstrated that the association between the age at which an individual arrived in the United States, and their ability to learn English, was as strongly correlated as were height and weight. In other words, "It's clear that there is a superiority of children over adults in language learning", said Newport. Dr. Newport ascribes this superiority to the fact that, when it comes to learning for children, 'less is more'. A child's limited perspective forces them to acquire information in small, incremental steps. Because language has many components, learning it in small pieces makes acquisition easier, and this learning begins at a very early age. Dr. David Pisoni of Indiana University has demonstrated that children can recognize their name from other names similar names as early as four months of age. But how early does this learning process begin?
According to Fred J. Schwartz, M.D., "a significant amount of learning takes place in the uterus. There is no doubt that intrauterine auditory stimuli contribute a large part of this environment. Evidence points to the fact that learning extends back into the prenatal period, and that the sounds and rhythms in the womb may contain information important to the development of the fetal brain.2, 3 The newborn can differentiate a recording of his own mother's prenatal womb sounds from a recording of another mother4."1
Dr. Schwartz continues, "There is a vast amount of potential information available to the fetus that can be given in the playing of just one musical note or in singing or talking a single syllable. The content of this sound is full of information and emotion5. These communicative processes which take place before and after birth contribute to the promotion of the child's physical development, behavioral characteristics, and level of intelligence.6 This is consistent with the observation of psychologists that infants and children may have enhanced behavioral abilities that diminish later in life. Since fetal hearing is probably the major component of this learning, the fetus is participating in a 2nd and 3rd trimester auditory amphitheater that is perhaps more important than any other classroom. " (emphasis added)
In summary, we know that learning begins prenatally. We also know that unborn children and infants are best at acquiring information in small, incremental steps. This is the principle premise behind the BabyPlus Prenatal Education System — the presentation of small, incremental pieces of information, in the only language the prenatal child truly understands, in the most important classroom the child will ever occupy. BabyPlus is the only prenatal enrichment system that is based on these proven, scientific principles.

BBC Review
Two hours of predominantly upbeat outpourings from the white-shirted rocker.
Adam Kennedy 2010
Anyone searching for a definition of too much of a good thing, welcome back party-starting human adrenaline shot Andrew WK. Collating 'lost' third album Close Calls With Brick Walls, previously only available in the Far East, with rare/unreleased disc Mother of Mankind, this 39-track double set is nothing if not daunting.
The bizarre resurfacing furore over whether Andrew WK actually is Andrew WK (click to Wikipedia for more information) has fired interest in the California-born provocateur once again, after comparatively lean years that followed infectiously enthusiastic 2001 debut I Get Wet. The timing parallels something of a musical identity crisis, too, in the wake of last year's improvised piano set 55 Cadillac, a record that proved there was more to WK than a furiously rocking white tee-clad manchild.
Close Calls… promises much within opener I Came For You, a curiously heartfelt semi-power ballad showcasing an impassioned, surprisingly textured howl. Close Calls With Bal Harbour is similarly impressive, a whacked intergalactic daytrip that wouldn't feel especially out of place on the latest Liars album, Sisterworld.
After such a promising start, it's back to business as usual on Not Going To Bed, though, bombastic production necessitating a dive for the volume knob as he ominously threatens to forego shuteye with bluster even Meat Loaf would baulk at. I Want To See You Go Wild ups the unreconstructed party meter, its cringeworthy lyrical nadir arriving when WK advises us "Sometimes you need to go crazy / And other times you need to go crazier".
Don't Call Me Andy vaporises notions that just maybe this is a gonzo post-modern in-joke so deftly observed it's invisible to the naked eye, meanwhile, educating listeners on trivial concerns of not abridging WK's forename.
Mother of Mankind is a more intriguing beast for both fans and newcomers, a real stylistic hotchpotch, yet concealing the odd moment of real head-turning interest, not least We Got a Groove's peculiar cod-reggae.
The relief is temporary, however: after nigh on two hours of predominantly upbeat outpourings you'll want to glue WK's face to the nearest television broadcasting rolling news, just to remind him life isn't entirely unrelenting fingers-in-ears good times.

Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton this afternoon had some of his strongest language yet regarding public employees and their labor unions.
He spoke for about 8 minutes at the AFL-CIO rally in the Capitol rotunda, called in support of embattled public employee unions in Wisconsin. Referring to anti-union measures afoot in Minnesota's legislature, Dayton said "drastic, extreme measures won't become law here, because I'm here."
You can hear his entire speech below. He opens with a birthday greeting for Eliot Seide, director of AFSCME Council 5.

Nelson Canache Jr. and Spencer Pumpelly now face a 16 point gap to the GTC driver championship leaders going into the final round of the season at Petit Le Mans.
Flying Lizard endured a tough day at the 9th and penultimate round of the 2013 American Le Mans Series season in today's race at Virginia International Raceway. Starting from 3rd on the grid in the Venezuela / eSilicon No 45 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car, Nelson Canache Jr. quickly moved up to 2nd place and began his chase of the class leader.
Seth Neiman started the PR Newswire / eSilicon No 44 and ran a long, 1 hour, 25 minute stint. He then turned the car over to co-driver Dion von Moltke who was able to take advantage of two well-timed yellows to move into 6th place, at the tail end of the lead pack. In the 37-minute run to the checker Dion was able to make the only pass in class, moving up to his 5th place finishing position.
With that move the team was able to retain the lead in the GTC team championship by 2 points but Nelson and Spencer now face a 16 point gap to the GTC driver championship leaders going into the final round of the season at Petit Le Mans, for which a class win is worth 24 points.
Spencer Pumpelly, Driver, No 45: "Today was a disappointing result given the strength of the No 45 car. Nelson drove a great stint, hounding the leading TRG car and I felt like the car was one of the best we have had all year. The entire crew did such a great job and it was only bad luck that kept us off the podium. The championship is not impossible now but we are no longer in charge of our destiny. So we'll show up at Petit Le Mans ready to race and go after the win."
Dion von Moltke, Driver, No 44: "It was tough work today behind the wheel of our Flying Lizard Motorsports eSillicon / PR Newswire #44 Porsche. Thanks to some great strategy calls and quick pit work from the team I was able to get back on the lead lap and into 6th position after the final full course caution during my stint. We restarted with all seven GTC Porsches nose to tail and it was a massive battle for the remaining 35 minutes.
VIR has some very technical fast corners which make it difficult to follow a car closely as you lose quite a lot of the front downforce, which makes it extremely hard to overtake. Our car was very consistent and one of the best on tire wear so late in the stint we were able to get past Andy Lally for 5th place but we ran out of time at the end to improve any further."
Flying Lizard is next on track for the tenth and final round of the 2013 American Le Mans Series season, Petit Le Mans Powered by Mazda, to be held October 16th to 19th at Road Atlanta in Braselton Georgia.

Marrakech - Funding for Interpol must be increased dramatically for the global police body to meet the threat posed by international terrorism, Interpol's Secretary General said on Thursday.
Ronald Noble said: "The case we're working on is that of a suspected terrorist carrying a biological or nuclear weapon intending to kill hundreds of thousands if not millions.
"In order to prepare against that possibility, we need a billion dollar a year organisation and not a million dollar a year organisation," he added at the end of Interpol's four-day annual conference.
Interpol operated at a deficit last year with its expenditures of €46.7m exceeding its budget of €45.1m. The organisation has a €44.5m budget for 2007.
The global police body is financed by its 186 member states whose governments pay annual contributions calculated using a framework agreed on by members.
Since the September 11 2001 attacks against the United States, Interpol has increasingly been called upon to offer operational support to police forces in member states in the fight against terrorism, so more money is needed to do the job properly, Noble said.
'We're going to be well behind'
The number of names of suspected terrorists in Interpol's database jumped to 12 000 from around 2 000 after the attacks and member states' police forces are now for the first time connected to the same communications system, but much more needs to be done, he added.
"Until every police force in the world is able to share information as quickly as Mastercard or Visa or American Express, until every passport is checked at every border, we are going to be well behind where we should be," he said.
Only 17 out of Interpol's 186 member countries systematically check the passport numbers of incoming travellers against the agency's global stolen and lost travel documents database which has over 15 million entries.
Interpol decided at the general assembly to set up a working group to study and submit recommendations regarding the development of a new financial contribution scale.
A total of 541 officials from 79 different countries worked for Interpol at its headquarters in France as well as its regional bureaus and its office at the United Nations at the end of 2006.
More than 4 200 people wanted by Interpol in 2006 were arrested worldwide, up 20% since 2005.

Do not use unbaked clay on unprotected furniture or finished surfaces. Start with clean hands and work surface area. Good work surfaces include wax paper, metal baking sheet, or disposable foil. Knead clay until soft and smooth. For best results, clean your hands in between colors. Shape clay, pressing pieces together firmly. Bake on oven-proof glass or metal surface at 275 °F (130 °C) for 15 minutes per 1/4" (6 mm) thickness. For best baking results, use an oven thermometer. DO NOT USE MICROWAVE OVEN. DO NOT EXCEED THE ABOVE TEMPERATURE OR RECOMMENDED BAKING TIME. Wash hands after use. Baking should be completed by an adult.
- Begin by preheating oven to 275 °F (130 °C). Test temperature with oven thermometer for perfectly cured clay. For best results, condition all clay by running it through the clay dedicated pasta machine several passes on the widest setting. Fold the clay in half after each pass and insert the fold side into the rollers first.
- Roll out 2 thin snakes (approx. 1/8" thick) using Red Hot Red and String Bean clay. Using the plastic craft knife, cut each snake into 10 short pieces (approx 5/8" L). Press one Red short snake piece and one Green short snake piece together, then slightly roll in your hand to make the ends pointy. Press all 10 Red/Green pieces together on the Green side, to make the plant.
- Roll out a String Bean snake that is 1/4" thick. Cut into 1" pieces. You will need 15 all together to make the plant. Shape each into slightly flattened pointed long leafs. Press a line into the middle of each using one of the purple modeling tool. Then press them all together to shape the plant.
- Make the following pieces out of Leaf Green clay:
• Base of cactus - one large slightly flattened oval bead (approx. 1.5" L x 3/4" thick).
• Top smaller pieces of cactus - two slightly flattened ovals (approx. 3/4"L x 1/2" thick).
• Side piece of cactus - one slightly flattened oval (approx. 1 1/4"L x 5/8" thick).
• Top larger piece of the cactus - one slightly flattened oval (approx. 1 1/16" L x 3/4" thick).
Using the plastic modeling tool, draw vertical lines into each piece. Take toothpicks and
assemble the cactus as shown.
- Use Hazelnut clay to make small flattened balls that are 1/8" diameter. You will need to make 120 to cover the cactus on both sides. Use the plastic modeling tool to make an indent into the middle of each one while pressing them onto the cactus.
- Take Candy Pink and make five small flattened balls that are 3/8" diameter. Attach them into a flower shape. Make five small flattened balls that are 1/8" diameter. Attach those into a flower shape. Using the purple modeling tool, make petal indents onto each one.
- Using Lemonade, make two small flattened balls approx. 1/8" diameter for the flower centers. Press each into the Candy Pink flowers and attach to the cactus as shown.
- Take 1/4 oz of Hazelnut clay and cut it into six equal pieces. Shape one piece into a pointed club for the head and tail part (approx. 1 5/8" L x 1/4" thick at the thickest end). Use two pieces to make a flattened oval for the top shell (approx. 15/16" L x 3/4" w) Use one piece to make a flattened oval to go on the bottom of the shell (approx. 3/4" W x 13/16" L) Use two pieces to make the four slightly flattened club legs. (approx. 5/8" L x 5/16"thick at the thickest end). Using the plastic knife, cut four toes into the thick end of the club.
- For the spots: Take Hazelnut and Beige and marble them together. Make seven flat balls (approx. 5/16" diameter)
- For the eyes: Make two tiny balls out of Black clay (approx. 1/16" diameter).
- To assemble: Lay the bottom shell piece on your work surface. Center the head/tail piece on top of that (make sure the head is sticking out farther than the tail piece (there should only be a small tail part showing). Attach the four feet and then add the top shell part. Using sand paper ad texture to the top shell and feet. Then add the spots onto the shell and the eyes onto the head.
- Bake according to the directions above. Let your pieces cool completely. Assemble your terrarium with the sand, moss, shells, and your clay pieces. Enjoy!

Meter Box Blowout
Doing laundry at 2:30 in the morning may have saved the lives of one Little Rock family.
That's because that is the hour an electric box on the side of the house decided to fail in dramatic fashion.
Brandon and Sabrina Pulley have been married less than three months.
They thought they had a place that they and their blended family could call home...but the meter box on the side of that home had been stolen.
Getting it replaced has not gone well.
Less than two days after hiring master electrician Dana Ross and Ross II Electric of Little Rock to put a new meter box on their home, a charred hole is all that remains.
"So as I go back I'm still washing clothes and as I go back I started hearing this 'Boom, Boom...Pow Pow' loud noise...and it was kinda vibrating the house," recalls Sabrina Pulley.
"The part that he fixed...fire started jumping out of the meter box," says Brandon Pulley. "So I'm like 'What is that? What is that?' So I go outside and that's where the sparks and stuff was coming from. So I told her to get the kids and everybody and get out."
Even though the Pulleys say they questioned how the job was being done at the time, both their electrician and an Entergy representative on hand assured them everything was fine.
Now...neither side will accept any responsibility for a fire that seems more than coincidental.
"So who do you guys think is responsible?"
"Equally," answers Brandon Pulley.
"Dana Ross," offers Sabrina Pulley. "Dana Ross and Entergy. Because they both stood there and did the work. They...both of them. Entergy stood there through the end, the beginning, the middle."
Entergy's insurance adjuster has written the Pulleys a letter that reads in part "Because this loss was not due to any fault or negligence attributable to Entergy, we have no alternative but to respectfully decline payment of your claim."
Dana Ross told me by phone today about the same thing...that he hooked things up properly and that he doesn't feel anything was done wrong by him.
It will cost an estimated $8,000.00 to make the home habitable again.
Air date: October 25th, 2013
