Balance beaming: Wolves' well-versed onslaught too much for Lubbock Trinity
BY Matt Welch, firstname.lastname@example.com
CEDAR HILL -- Plano West boys basketball received contributions from all comers Friday afternoon.
It left Lubbock Trinity Christian powerless late in the third quarter and the Wolves didn't relent en route to a 64-47 victory in the quarterfinals of the C.W. Jackson Cedar Hill Lions Club Tournament.
"That was probably our best second half of the year," said Anthony Morgan, West head coach. "We came out to play and I was really proud of our intensity. That was a very scrappy team we played and we had to make sure we equaled that."
The Wolves didn't look back, limiting Lubbock to just seven points in the fourth and pouring on 13 of their own, despite having just four rebounds in the frame.
That's because the shots were tough to come by for Lubbock thanks to eight forced turnovers by the West defense over the final eight minutes.
Those takeaways were turned into points, with a Lozano steal leading to an and-1 for senior Zack Levick for a 56-45 lead and junior Tre Anderson later converting on a layup for a 62-45 advantage after sophomore D.J. Hogg bagged a steal of his own. That balance manifested itself in the offensive production, with six Wolves scoring at least six points, led by 14 from Anderson and senior Devron Kennedy while Lozano scored 11 and Hogg added eight.
"It was really good to see that (balance)," Morgan said. "We had some guys we've been wanting to step up and we knocked down some big shots today. It's tough to rely on a sophomore (Hogg) to carry the scoring like he has, but today A.J. was big, Devron got some big rebounds down low and (senior) Austin Enloe played great."
The Lions' fleeting hope came after opening the fourth on a 5-0 run that pulled them to 51-45 with 5:30 left, only to be held without a field goal for the remainder of the game.
Lubbock had a bit more success early in the third, tying the Wolves at 34-34 after a 3-pointer by Jaxon Parrott, who scored 10 points in the loss.
Stephenson led the Lions with 21 points, with 17 of those coming in the first half.
"We lost [Stephenson] a couple times early," Morgan said. "We had to make sure we got track of him because he was killing us. I thought we did a good job containing his shooting as the game went on."
Stephenson kept Lubbock afloat with 11 of the team's 14 first-quarter points, but Anderson's sharp-shooting off the bench ultimately paced the Wolves to a 15-14 lead.
Anderson added five more points in a second quarter that also favored West, 19-15. Three-point shooting and pinpoint ball movement in transition allowed the Wolves to expand their lead to 34-29 by the break, while also forcing seven Lubbock turnovers in the second thanks to a zone defense the Wolves ran wire-to-wire.
"Football is still in session at Plano West and we'll have some guys who are a bit more athletic coming in after that," Morgan said. "We'll mix it between man and zone because this is a young team and we're just trying to get them experience at the varsity level."
That experience made for a deep tournament run after knocking off Fort Worth Paschal, 43-19, during Thursday's first round.
Friday afternoon's win gave the Wolves a trip to the semifinals against tourney host Cedar Hill (results not available at press time).
West returns to action on the road at 8 p.m. Tuesday against Frisco Centennial.

Salary was clearly the most important job feature for developers, which I think is a bit of a surprise. But for managers, salary barely nudged out the need to have their opinions and knowledge valued. The latter issue is likely the result of managers' experiences with corporate politics. This aspect is seen again in the wide disparity in response between developers and managers to "My work is important to the company's success." In part, I expect, this shows the developer mentality of "let's just get on with it."

Rede des Herrn Staatssekretärs Winkler am 22. Mai 2006 zur Konferenz "Racism, Xenophobia and the Media" in Englisch
Racism, Xenophobia and the Media:
Towards respect and understanding of all religions and cultures
Euro-Mediterranean Seminar
State Secretary Hans Winkler
Vienna, 22 May 2006
The continued existence of racism, xenophobia and other forms of discrimination and intolerance, including Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia is, unfortunately, an undeniable fact. Such phenomena exist in all our countries, I am afraid, even increasingly so. The news that reach us almost every day are most concerning. Immigrants are being harassed, worse, attacked, even killed, racially motivated crimes are on the rise and inter-religious and inter-cultural relations are under a heavy strain.
What is particularly disquieting for me is the fact that the situation is as alarming as it is despite the laudable efforts of the many well established organisations and institutions in the field of combating racism and other forms of intolerance. They all have a vast amount of acquired experience and expertise through their involvement in the fight against racism, xenophobia and other forms of intolerance. Beginning with the United Nations system, which includes the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and the United Nations Committee for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, in Europe with institutions like the EU Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia, the Council of Europe with ECRI, OSCE with ODIHR and its special representatives and many other organizations and institutions which all are unanimous in condemning all forms of racism, have produced numerous studies and analysis and have adopted scores of resolutions and action plans, the danger of resurgence of these evil scourges continues to exist.
But, let me also state my firm conviction that we must not be discouraged. Despite the bleak picture that I painted in my introduction, we must never give in and accept evil. Governments, civil society and international organizations and certainly not least, the media, must continue to stem the tide, work hand in hand and take into account the efforts of the others. Only a comprehensive strategy, involving all layers of society will lead to the desired results.
Today we discuss these issues in a very special context, in the framework of the Barcelona Process, the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership. The Barcelona process provides, indeed, a crucial framework for the Euro-Mediterranean cooperation in the field of migration and, most particularly, by serving as a tool for the promotion of mutual respect and understanding, for the interaction of civil societies and for the creation of a dialogue between cultures on the basis of an equal partnership.
When the Barcelona Process has sometimes been criticised for a lack of results, it has to be taken into account that the difficult political situation in the Middle East weighs heavily on the initiatives undertaken within the Barcelona Process.
This partnership between the EU and the countries around the Mediterranean - including Israel - is of particular relevance not only in general political, economic and cultural terms, but in particular in the context of the fight against racism and intolerance.
The recent controversy over cartoons in a Danish newspaper made us realise how fragile relations between different cultures and different religions even in our enlightened age really are. Different concepts sometimes meet head on. On the one hand stands the right to freedom of expression, a right for which generations fought and died and which today is not only a right enshrined in the European Convention of Human Rights but which is one of the center pieces of modern democracy and, on the other hand, religious sensitivities, flowing from an equally important right, namely freedom of religion and worship according to one's preference, must be taken into consideration.
This situation calls for increased dialogue, in good faith and with respect for the beliefs and the sensitivities of the other. We are privileged to have a forum like our Euro-Mediterranean partnership and we should make full use of it. Today's seminar is a good opportunity to have such an open and at the same time, respectful dialogue.
What then should we do?
I would like to mention three issues which, in my opinion, need to be dealt with in this context.
First, we must pay attention to the root causes of racism, anti-Semitism, xenophobia and intolerance.
As old as human history itself, intolerance, xenophobia and racism stem from institutionalized forms of exclusion, the pursuit and defense of privilege and internalized system of the quest of superiority of one group over another. While human diversity, be it cultural, religious or racial, attributes richness to human society, these differences have been misused to fuel hatred and tolerance to a level of destruction of communities.
The last century has witnessed the most severe, serious and devastating expressions of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. These reasons were, at least partially, different from what they are today. Ideology of superiority propagated by certain groups and the denial of human qualities to groups, in particular Jews, were the root causes of the Holocaust and untold human suffering.
Racism, however, is still with us in varying forms and degrees and is in fact gaining ground as the process of globalization, unfolds.
Internal and international conflicts are today often the cause for racial tensions, hatred and intolerance against members of groups different from one's own group. It is vital that all domestic communities - whether ethnic, religious or national diasporas - are assured the right to coexist in social harmony regardless of conflicts between countries with which they may identify emotively, spiritually or nostalgically. Inter-communal relations must be decoupled from such international conflicts as a first step to containing the growth of anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and other expressions of hatred and intolerance.
Today's vulnerable groups which are particularly in danger of being victimized are different from the past. Migrants, asylum seekers, people of different sexual orientation and adherents of religions which are not the majority religion in a given society are today particularly targeted by extreme nationalists, shameless populists without any sense of responsibility and members of groups of the far and extreme right. This is the biotope in which racism, xenophobia and intolerance thrives. But, respecting diversity does not mean creating "parallel societies" separated by walls of indifference, ignorance and hostility. Multiculturalism or "cultural diversity" should not be used as an excuse for ignoring the fundamental human rights.
We all know that anti-Semitism ultimately led to Auschwitz and other camps of mass murder. The evil of anti-Semitism is still with us. We should draw the necessary lesson from history and never ignore the development of discrimination against other races, religions and cultural orientations. I would like to mention in this context the importance of the work that OSCE has carried out in the field of combating Ant-Semitism. It showed that while many features of this evil are identical to those of other forms of intolerance, it is my conviction that the fight against Ant-Semitism requires in addition special strategies. The conferences held with this at the center, in Vienna, Berlin and Cordoba have contributed valuable insights to develop such strategies to fight against Anti-Semitism and Special Representative Weisskirchen is doing an outstanding job to raise public awareness and keep us alert.
Secondly, we must acknowledge and support the crucial role the media can play in a positive, but also in a negative sense. Any report on a specific event, of a situation, any description of the characteristics of a group, a minority or a religious community in a given society will by necessity be an abbreviation of reality. No report, no matter how lengthy it may be, can be a true and full copy of reality. Complexities and shades of meaning might be misrepresented, even if there is a genuine attempt at objectivity. Notwithstanding these difficulties, I believe, journalists and media representatives in general should try to present reality adequately and fairly. Of course, obviously, the most acute danger would result from stereotypes and prejudice in reporting being used on purposes with the intent to influence public, maybe even with the intent to hurt and insult. Stereotypes, as well as biased reporting by the media, can also have a profound impact on the impressions of the population with regard to certain groups of people. Sensationalist coverage often results in disproportionate reporting on certain groups that presents an exaggerated impression of the reality.
On the other hand, and this is the positive side of the coin, freedom of the press and the free flow of information and ideas are powerful ways to combat racism, discrimination, xenophobia and intolerance. Societies that inhibit freedom of expression also inhibit the full enjoyment of human rights and foster intolerance in presenting an open and tolerant society to the public, and in countering prejudice and hatred.
What can we do to achieve this?
Certainly not by trying to restrict freedom of the media by legal means. Legally binding code of conducts will not work and they run counter the principle of the right to expression. Only self-restraint by the media themselves is an option in my opinion. Media must have an interest, moral but in the final analysis also economic, to assume responsibility vis à vis the community they serve. They are part of that community and must therefore act responsible like any other member of the community.
One way to achieve a higher degree of objectivity and of fostering understanding of the situation of members of minority groups would be to hire more journalists who belong to minority groups and - why not - more participation of immigrants in the media. This would give them a platform for self-representation, which might help to reduce prejudices and stereotypes that exist with respect to them. At the same time, it might support minorities and in particular immigrants in their search for identity.
Thirdly, the State and all its institutions bear a large share in the responsibility to fight racism and intolerance. Most important, the State - government and parliament alike - must create the legal and institutional framework in which discrimination for all the reasons laid down in the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination are outlawed and cases of racism and discrimination which go beyond the limits of freedom of expression can be prevented through deterrence and if this does not work, prosecuted and punished by the independent court system. This sometimes raises difficult questions of judgment. There are no clear answers as the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights on cases involving Article 10 of the Human Rights Convention bear ample witness. In the end borderline questions must be decided by courts and nobody else. This is what a functioning system of rule of law demands; censorship by political authorities can certainly not be the answer.
But the responsibility of the State goes beyond providing a legal basis within which private persons, the media and civil society operate. As a matter of vital importance to societal harmony, it is crucial that the political leadership in every country actually raises to the task of leading every effort at local, regional, national and international level to create political, social and economic conditions in order to inhibit the breeding ground for intolerance and discrimination. A key part of that leadership role is the formulation of pro-active and positive measures aimed at countering prejudices and promoting human values. Political parties, especially in times of election campaigns, bear a special responsibility. They set the tone that others will follow and they must show a degree of self-restraint one can expect in a mature democracy.
Needless to say, an effective strategy for eradication cannot solely rely on legal, political and judicial measures. An intellectual and ethical dimension should also be brought to life in order to arrive at a deeper understanding of the cultural and ideological roots of these phenomena.
It is obvious that education is a big factor in influencing the thinking of individuals and can often shape their thinking towards other communities as well as their behaviors. Secretary General Kofi Annan said 2001 in Durban: "Let us remember that no one is born a racist. Children learn racism as they grow up, from the society around them - and too often the stereotypes are reinforced, deliberately or inadvertently, by the mass media". As was stated by a group of NGOs a few years ago: "Racism exists in our minds and hearts. Change of attitude and social transformation will happen only if we can open our minds and hearts through education and consciousness. Thus transformation within us is the first vital step. This will enable us to positively influence the communities we live in, in order to bring about tolerance, respect and appreciation".
To build solidarity against racism, we need to network at the national, regional and international level to ensure that the commitments made on the global and the regional level, by legally binding texts or in resolutions or at various conferences are respected and observed.
We must commit ourselves to combat against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance by joining hands together.

But there is some evidence from extreme environments on Earth to support the married couple idea, says Lawrence Palinkas of the University of Southern California, who has studied more than 1,000 Americans who have spent winters in Antarctica over a four-decade period.
Based on Palinkas' studies at the South Pole, the most stable individuals and those with the most stable relationships are middle-aged married couples.
That works out well for space travel, given that older people have less time left in their lives for space radiation to potentially cause cancer, Kring said. Radiation is also associated with infertility, so the couple should not be seeking to have children after the mission.
Prolonged separation from family and friends back home is a huge source of stress for people in isolated, confined environments, Palinkas said. Having a close confidant in space would allow them to share their day-to-day experiences with someone they love and trust.
NASA astronaut Cady Coleman, who has logged more than 4,330 hours in space, agreed: "Often, work that is as demanding as ours in terms of time away from family. think it might be great to be able to spend that kind of time with your sweetheart."
Will two people get along?
Of course, the behavioral quirks and annoyances that you might easily brush aside on Earth would be magnified in a confined space over 501 days. Even in a healthy marital relationship, there can be such a thing as too much contact, Palinkas said.
Nobody really knows the ideal size of a crew to travel this long, but Peter Suedfeld, professor emeritus at the University of British Columbia, is skeptical about having just two people. If one of them is emotionally unavailable, the other is out of luck. (As for whether sex has ever been tried in space, "there are rumors but no official acknowledgment," Suedfeld said.)
"When both of you are under stress -- and these two people would be under the same level of stress, the same kind of stress -- each of them would want emotional support and be too focused on their own problems to give it to the other," Suedfeld said.
In his view, it's better to have a team with some amount of diversity, where no one background or nationality predominates. The International Space Station usually has a crew of six these days, and that's worked out well, he said.

By the HELP Committee and Havre Public Schools
Families and friends gather together in record numbers at this time of year to celebrate and give thanks. The long Thanksgiving weekend is one of the heaviest travel times of the year. The heavy travel makes for a more dangerous time on roadways in Montana and throughout the United States.
Just driving across town or out to the farm or up the Hi-Line, you say? Fifty-two percent of reported crashes occur within 5 miles of home. It goes up to 77 percent within 15 miles of home. Crashes are more than twice as likely within 1 mile of home as they are at 20 miles from home. Havre residents buckle up about half the time, according to observational surveys.
If you think that low speed crashes - less than 30 mph - are not dangerous, ask an emergency care worker or watch a crash test video. Injuries can be very serious in crashes that occur at low speed.
It is a fact that safety belts save lives. Every hour someone dies in America simply because they didn't buckle up. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration statistics indicate that more than 42,000 people died and nearly 3 million people were injured on America's roadways in 2002. Safety belts significantly reduce fatalities. They are the single most effective way to save lives and reduce injuries in crashes. Research has found that safety belts, when used properly, reduce the risk of fatal injury by 45 percent and the risk of serious injury by 50 percent. It is estimated that safety belts save 9,500 lives nationwide each year. In light trucks, safety belts reduce fatalities by 65 percent.
A safety belt prevents you from being thrown from the vehicle. In fatal crashes, about 75 percent of motor vehicle occupants who are ejected are killed. An unbelted person can maim or kill a belted passenger in a crash.
We all pay for those who don't buckle up. The cost of unbuckled drivers and passengers goes beyond those injured or killed and the losses felt by family members. We pay in higher taxes, higher health care costs and higher insurance costs.
About eight out of 10 Montana residents use their seat belts when traveling on major highways. If the belt use rate were increased by 10 percentage points, to 90 percent, we could save 19 lives, 220 serious injuries and $26 million in Montana alone.
Teenagers and young adults are particularly at risk. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers and young adults in the United States, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Sixty-four percent of 16- to 20-year-old passenger-vehicle occupants killed or seriously injured in crashes in 2002 were not wearing a safety belt. In Montana, where 37 15- to 19-year-olds died and 368 suffered incapacitating injuries, roughly 23 of those killed and 235 of those injured would not have been had they been wearing safety belts.
At a recent health fair in Havre, two young men talked about how they always wear their safety belts. It was mentioned that people in their age group often are not good about buckling up. They both then revealed they had been raised in states where it is a primary law that everyone wears a safety belt and that it was very easy to get a ticket for not wearing one. Even though they are now in Montana, they continue to buckle up.
Throughout the country, many law enforcement agencies have extra patrols during the Thanksgiving holiday period. One of the big things they are watching for is the use of safety belts as required by law.
Unfortunately, it takes the fear of a ticket before some folks will be consistent about wearing a safety belt. In Montana there is a safety belt law but not wearing a seatbelt is not a primary offense.
One important and fairly new law that Montana travelers need to pay attention to is the child safety seat law.
It says: "If a child under 6 years of age and weighing less than 60 pounds is a passenger in a motor vehicle, that motor vehicle must be equipped with one child safety restraint for each child in the vehicle and each child must be properly restrained."
A child safety restraint is not just a safety belt. It means some type of car seat or booster seat. Children 40 to 60 pounds will need to be in booster seats of a type that is appropriate to the vehicle in which they are riding. Does a 7-year-old weighing less than 60 pounds still need to be in a booster seat, according to the law? Yes.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that less than 20 percent of children who should be restrained in booster seats actually ride in one. It provides the following recommendations for the safe travel of children in vehicles.
The Four Steps for Kids are:
1. Rear-facing infant seats in the back seat from birth to at least 1 year of age and 20 pounds.
2. Forward-facing toddler seats in the back seat from age 1 to about age 4 and 20 to 40 pounds.
3. Booster seats in the back seat from about age 4 and 40 pounds to at least age 8, unless the child if 4 foot 9 inches.
4. Safety belts at age 8 or older or taller than 4 foot 9. All children 12 and under should ride in the back seat.
So, as families gather for festivities, hearty meals and giving thanks, let's remember safety belts. Let's think to be grateful for them and their lifesaving potential. Let's remember to use them - every trip, every time. Arrive alive and don't get a ticket.
The HELP Committee and Boys & Girls Club of the Hi-Line is dedicated to promoting a safer community for everyone. For more information about this or other health, safety and prevention topics, call 265-6206.

Twitter launches mobile video sharing app Vine, Facebook hates it
There has been a lot of talk about video version of Instagram and the possibilities of success that could bring to any startup that successfully launches one. Well, looks like Twitter itself beat everyone else to the punch when they dropped the bomb earlier this week by launching 'Vine', a mobile video sharing app that is actually very cool.
The idea behind the application is pretty cool – it allows you to
create 6 second long loopable GIF videos and post them on Twitter. The
videos used in the GIF can be very short clips stitched together to tell
a story or just for fun. The app is currently only for the iPhone and
iPod Touch which is a damn shame, but we hope it arrives to Android and
Blackberry soon enough. Most people don't really know what to do with
the thing yet, except for Facebook who know that they want to cut it
off. The application has been denied accessed from accessing a user's
Facebook friends within the app to share the videos to, and Facebook

The 2010 November Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Simona of briciole. She chose to challenge Daring Bakers' to make pasta frolla for a crostata. She used her own experience as a source, as well as information from Pellegrino Artusi's Science in the Kitchen and the Art of Eating Well, and what a lovely challenge it was!
I have been wanting to make a "flower tart" for about six months now. That just shows you how long my baking wants list is. Ice Cream year has gotten me a bit behind on making anything that is not ice cream. I promise next year is going to go much much better.
I actually had to make these last Saturday, as today I am enjoying one of my last days in London. We just got back from Edinburgh this morning, and are heading over to Borough Market, a little foodie heaven. I've never been so excited for market day! I hear Jamie Oliver shoots there! It would be just a little too perfect to get to see him after the lovely culinary trip I've had....but more on that later when I'm home and have all the time in the world to tell you about my trip.
Until then enjoy this lovely tart. If you have a mandolin this apple adornment won't take you any more than five minutes. It's absolutely easy and looks so beautiful it's hard to believe it was so easy!

The San Francisco 49ers parted ways with a six-time Pro Bowl player Wednesday, and they might not be interested in acquiring in a four-time Pro Bowl performer.
Veteran kicker David Akers was released by San Francisco on the same day reports indicated that the 49ers and the Atlanta Falcons might not pursue New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis.
San Francisco general manager Trent Baalke said of Akers, "He is a true professional who represented himself and this organization with class. We wish him, and his family, all the best."
In two seasons with the 49ers, Akers compiled 297 points -- the most in the NFL during that span. He made 73 of 94 field-goal attempts and all 78 PATs.
Akers' release comes as no surprise. He struggled in 2012, connecting on only 29 of 42 field goal attempts. The 49ers brought in Billy Cundiff toward the end of the year when Akers was dealing with a pelvic injury. Akers, 38, also had a $3 million salary.
Akers regained his job in time for the team's Super Bowl run.
As for Revis, the 49ers and Falcons downplayed any interest in acquiring the shut-down corner.
NFL Network reported that the 49ers have denied discussing Revis' availability with the Jets. However, a New York Daily News story indicated that San Francisco and Atlanta were pursuing Revis, who missed most of last season after suffering a knee injury.
Several media outlets also minimized the Falcons' potential interest in a deal for Revis.
The Daily News reported that the Jets are in a hurry to part with Revis.
"He's gone," a source told the Daily News. "This is happening. They're moving him. They can't keep him. They're rebuilding. They're starting fresh."
The Colts, Buccaneers and Chiefs are among other teams mentioned as having interest in Revis.
--The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to release veteran cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, SportsRadio WIP reported.
The Eagles denied any move was imminent, and it's possible the two sides could agree to a restructured contract before March 12, when all teams must be in compliance with the $123 million salary cap.
The Eagles signed Asomugha, 31, to a four-year, $60 million free-agent deal before the 2011 season, but the two-time All-Pro's production the past two seasons hasn't met expectations.
Asomugha's base salary would be $15 million next season should the Eagles decide to keep the former Oakland Raiders stalwart on the roster. If he's released, the Eagles would owe him $4 million, even if he plays for another team next season.
--New England wide receiver Wes Welker plans to test the free agent market next week and has no plans to re-sign with the Patriots before then.
ESPN reported that the Patriots and Welker aren't close to reaching a deal prior to March 12, the first day for unrestricted free agents to officially sign with other teams.
The Patriots chose not to place a franchise tag on Welker by the Monday deadline as they did last year. That would have entitled Welker, 31, to a 20 percent raise from the $9.5 million he made in 2012 to $11.4 million in 2013.
The steady Welker led the Patriots with 118 catches last year, becoming the first player in NFL history with five 110-catch seasons. In his six seasons with New England, Welker has averaged 112 catches per year.
--Washington Redskins linebacker London Fletcher underwent surgery Wednesday morning on his left ankle and has scheduled elbow surgery for later this month.
Fletcher, 37, shrugged off retirement talk after 15 NFL years and said he plans to return next season.
"Surgery is the first step towards prepping for next season," Fletcher told CBS DC.
Fletcher led the Redskins with 139 tackles last season and had five interceptions and three sacks from his middle linebacker spot.
In front office news, the Redskins named former San Diego Chargers general manager A.J. Smith as a senior executive.

Flower Mound Leader > News
Residents voice concern about location of FMHS athletic fields
By Chris Roark,
Published: Thursday, November 29, 2012 9:40 PM CST
The concept plan for the new ninth-grade centers for Marcus and Flower Mound high schools has received praise by many residents in Flower Mound.
The relocation of some athletic facilities to make room for FMHS' center ... not so much.
Several residents attended an informal meeting Thursday night at the Bolin Administrative Center in Lewisville to hear the plans for the two centers.
The LISD Board of Trustees is expected to vote on the project in January. If approved, onstruction could begin in the spring of 2013, and completion is expected in June of 2014.
Among the discussion points was the proposed location for the baseball and softball fields, as well as the tennis courts, at FMHS. To make room for the ninth-grade center, which will be connected to the existing campus, those sports facilities will be relocated to the property directly across the street from FMHS on Peter's Colony Road.
Residents living in adjacent neighborhoods said the noise and the lights will be a problem.
"We can already hear the announcements from the stadium inside our house, and that's with the doors and windows closed," said resident Edward Luttenberger. "During baseball games, they play music between every batter. Plus, the lights will shine inside our homes. This is the worst place for these fields."
Luttenberger wasn't alone. Other residents shared similar concerns.
"My property touches the [proposed] outfield wall for the baseball field," said resident Stephanie McQueen. "There is going to be a 70-foot light poll 25 feet away from my property. There will be three fields literally in my back yard. I live half a mile away, and I can still hear the noise at Flower Mound High School."
However, Lewisville ISD officials and representatives from PBK Architects insisted that the noise and light issues will be addressed.
"The town of Flower Mound has strict requirements, so we're going to meet, and exceed when we can, those requirements," said Irene Nigaglioni of PBK.
Nigaglioni said the light will be facing away from the homes and that they will also include light shields for further protection.
Nigaglioni also said there will be a 6-foot masonry wall constructed at the property line, and trees will be planted to serve as a buffer. Together, Nigaglioni said, the light will be cut off before it reaches a resident's home. She added that distance from the top of the wall to the closest field is 11 feet.
As far as the sound concerns, Nigaglioni said a properly-designed system should keep noise from reaching the homes.
Dr. Quentin Burnett, the district's chief financial officer, said that Marcus' football stadium had a sound issue originally and that Garden Ridge Elementary had a light issue. But he said that working with engineers resolved both problems, and he said he is confident that noise and sound won't be an issue at FMHS' fields.
Others were concerned with the cost of the project, saying that $11 million of the $33 million project is going toward relocating the tennis courts and the baseball and softball fields, which were recently renovated.
"We're already cut so thin that we can't buy supplies," said an LISD employee. "To spend $11 million unnecessarily is really sad."
However, Nigaglioni and Burnett both denied the claim that the cost to relocate the fields and the tennis courts will be $11 million, adding that estimates haven't been finalized. Nigaglioni also said it's important to factor in the savings the district would have from this project, which includes not having to bus the students to another location.
Residents asked why the ninth-grade campus can't go across the street from FMHS, which could keep the athletic fields where they are.
Burnett said the decision was made after extensive discussion from a charette committee composed of parents, teachers, staff members, HOA members and students.
"If we move the center to another location, then we have bussing issues like we have now with the students at [Lewisville High School] Killough and Harmon campuses getting to Lewisville High School," Burnett said. "So where would we put it? We could put it across [Peters Colony], but then students would be going back and forth across the street. We could build a bridge for the students to walk over, but then we would need a supervisor to oversee it to make sure students actually use it."
Burnett added that another option for the athletic fields was next to Liberty Elementary School, but he said that, too, would cause transportation issues.
The FMHS ninth-grade center would be located southeast of the main building, which would let the classroom wing of the ninth-grade campus tie into the classroom area of the main high school. It would provide for easier transition between class periods.
Nigaglioni said the plan would also allow for a tie-in to the cafeteria area, which would further provide opportunities for a learning hub idea in which students can study and learn in small groups outside of the classroom. Nigaglioni said this concept would be used at the ninth-grade center and in the main building.
The plan calls for the existing parking and drop-off area on Peters Colony Road to remain while adding an additional drop-off area off Old Settlers Road.
Both the Flower Mound and Marcus centers would include a serpentine hallway that creates a learning hub with various learning studios. Each studio would have classrooms, a collaboration area and administration offices. This would be the same format for both levels of the two-story campus.
"It allows for the creation of small areas for small group instruction, individual learning or groups of two, five or 10 students to work together," Nigaglioni said. "So rather than using the hallway other than just for circulation, wed be using it for more than that. Thats why the size of the main hallway would be larger than the standard hallway you would see in the other building."
Other components include a lecture hall, a media center and a cyber cafe.
Each ninth grade center will incorporate outdoor learning to its concept.
Another part to the plan at each campus is a new performing arts addition to the current building.
In addition, a new gymnasium will be constructed at each campus.

Recent FIS NewsBelow you will find a listing of recent FIS News Find your newsSochi 2014 reveals Look of the Games Sochi 2014 has revealed the concept of an integrated visual Look of the Games for the XXII Olympic Winter Games 2014. The Sochi 2014 Look of the Games concept is a logical continuation of the philosophy behind the sochi.ru brand. It offers a new interpretation of different cultures, traditions and ethnicities which together form a united and powerful visual identity. At the heart of the Look of the Games concept design lies the principle of the "patchwork quilt" - a combination of 16 designs representing the most famous traditional Russian arts and crafts, ranging from Gzhel to Khokhloma. The Look of the Games concept is the visual embodiment of the Sochi 2014 Winter Games philosophy and is intended to express the character of modern Russia whilst at the same time introducing guests from all over the world to traditional Russian hospitality. Upon officially receiving the Games Look concept, Dmitry Chernyshenko, President and CEO of the Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee, said: "The results of the Look of the Games have exceeded all our expectations. The foundation of the idea is based on a variety of impressions and emotions that the Sochi 2014 Games will bring - not only to the people of Russia, but to the whole world.
