KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Skylar McBee scored a career-high 18 points to lead Tennessee to a 69-57 win against South Carolina on Wednesday night.
McBee, who made his second career start, hit 4 of 7 from 3-point range and sank all six of his free-throw attempts.
His second trey of the game gave the Volunteers the ultimate lead with 2:01 left before halftime after a first half that featured six ties and six lead changes. The basket launched an 8-0 run to close out the half, and Tennessee held a 35-27 lead at the break.
The Vols led 51-36 with 12:40 left, but South Carolina went on an 8-0 run of its own. The Gamecocks pulled within 58-55 on a 3-point play by Bruce Ellington with 4:07 left, but it was as close as they would get.
Tennessee outshot South Carolina 50 percent to 33.9 percent
Ellington led South Carolina with 12 points.

My hair is healthier, softer and silkier. I haven't had such an impact from using a product until I used John Masters shampoo and conditioner. I also purchased your leave in conditioning mist which I absolutely love! Because of the wonderful impact John Masters products has had on my hair, I purchased the jojoba exfoliating cleanser which has done miracles for me! The redness on my face went away, and my face looks and feels flawless. For Christmas gifts I bought all my friends and family JM products and so far they love what it's doing for them. Thank you again for such amazing products!

If you plan on giving up watching Syfy movies for the New Year you might want to check out the new clips from "Mega Python vs. Gatoroid" first. I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is going to be the greatest movie they've ever made. That's a tall order I know but it does have Debbie Gibson and Tiffany.
Danielle Harris is back my friends with "Shiver" and I am just tickled pink. The movie is about a secretary who's being stalked by a serial killer who has to fight for her life. I hope it has singing, that Harris has got a heart of gold that I know it's just waiting to get out. I don't even think I'm being sarcastic.
It's what the kids call a "slow day" around here at the BGH newsroom so here's a trailer for "Devil in Baby Joan" which is pretty much a "The Last Exorcism" knock off but it doesn't look awful. At the very least it's got some really nice looking title animations. So that's something, huh?
And because one of you did something very very wrong this year and we all need to be punished here's the On Demand trailer for "Hatchet 2". It's a trailer for the movie to let us all know that it's going to be On Demand. I probably didn't need to explain that though.
If you're going to try to rob a place with an iPhone maybe think about someplace other than a restaurant. Or really any place where people might have knives or any other sort of weapon which could be used in defense of an iPhone. Just a thought.
This is kind of heartwarming isn't it. A man in Massachusetts who ordered 178 pizzas as a prank eventually changed his mind and paid in full for the little stunt. I have no idea what he did with all of them but I sure do like pizza, even if it's a few days old. Hint hint.
Congratulations makers of "Black Swan". You found a way to make a minute long video of Natalie Portman dancing around the most unattractive thing I've ever seen. Here's what I assume the direction for this was like. "YES! That was good, now do it one more time with more German in your eyes. Ya! Das ist gut mein fraulein!"
Just when you think there's no good left in the world you find out that "The Walking Dead" scored 5.6 million viewers this past Sunday. This is actually more than the pilot episode and all signs point to this Sunday's season finale doing even better. If "Glee" ends up getting canceled my entire outlook on life is going to change.
For those of you who didn't get a chance to see "Hatchet II" before America flexed its biceps and yanked it from theaters, you're in luck. The slasher flick will get an On Demand release on December 1st and more importantly be available on countless torrent sites by the end of the week. I can't be the only one who wants to see the makers of this movie end up homeless. Somebody else chime in here!
Kevin Smith plans on screening his new creepy flick "Red State" at Sundance in 2011 and apparently wants to immediately auction off distribution rights after the screening. People of Hollywood I am speaking to you directly now. I've never asked you for anything but for this I will beg. Please, when that no talent overrated pile of turds starts the bidding please please please don't bid. I want to see what it looks like when a human actually cries cake frosting and this may be my only chance.
I've said this a thousand times and now I have proof. Pennsylvania has the worst drivers in the world and this girl who actually managed to get her truck up in a tree is living proof. Sometimes it's boring being right all the time... but not this time.
This might be the quickest I've ever gone from excited to disappointed in my life. Here's how my thought process went as I skimmed this article. Holy crap they are going to announce that aliens are real? At a Ramada Inn? That's kind of weird. Oh crap, it's a 65 year old man who prayed to Jesus to send him a snowball with proof. Crap.
Did anyone other than Mark see "The Collector"? Follow up question, did anyone see it and like it? Didn't think so. Well news today that there's going to be a "Collector 3D" and it's going to be in.. well, 3D. You probably guessed that from the title though.
"She Wolf Rising" is not going to be a good movie but here's some pictures of Tiffany Shepis who stars in it rolling around. There's really not much news here but I think you'll appreciate it nonetheless. So uh, how's your week going? Some weather we're having huh?
So that whole unrated thing kind of backfired didn't it? Not to be outdone by Canada, "Hatchet II" has now been pulled from US theaters. But man those 2 days that it was showing sure were special weren't they? Did anyone get to see it? Tell me what it's like to love.
Take a look at this new picture from "Scream 4" and try to tell me you don't feel a little bad for Ghostface. It's him and a bunch of his other Ghostface friends riding a bus to school. But look, they're all sitting alone, none of them are friends. My heart is breaking.
Mark it on your calendars folks, today PETA did something I may actually agree with. A California restaurant has pulled the "Dancing Shrimp" off of their menu after complaints from the animal rights group. What's the dancing shrimp your might ask? Well it's a live prawn that has it's shell ripped off and then you get to squeeze lemon on it and watch it "dance" AKA jump in ungodly pain until it dies. Adorable.
1968 – Police take batons to civil rights demonstrators in Derry, Northern Ireland – considered to mark the beginning of The Troubles.
There's been almost no coverage of the upcoming Renée Zellweger flick "Case 39" but today we've got some new images and a new clip. All I know about this movie is there's a creepy as girl who sees ghosts and Zellwegger has man hands. I've got high hopes!
Here's some new clips of "Paranormal Activity 2" and it looks like the demons have finally learned how to mess with the video cameras. Maybe they're really elderly demons and don't understand technology. The people who live in the house should ask them to program the DVR and then escape while they try to figure it out.
I love things that are not safe for work, there I said it. Like the new clip from "Hatchet 2" which pretty much has everything a not safe for work clip should have. You're welcome.
There's been more images released for the upcoming show "The Walking Dead" than I know what to do with but today there's a new trailer. A trailer AND a crap load of new images. It just wouldn't feel right without them.
It's nice to see that all the weird crap doesn't happen in the house. A coach in Queens NY recently dropped trou and mooned the opposing team's sideline. In his defense it was a division championship game, those things are important.
1959 – Nearly 5000 people die on the main Japanese island of Honshū as the result of a typhoon.
Oh boy here we go. The "Hatchet II" trailer that all other "Hatchet II" trailers will be defined by. Lots of blood, lots of gore and most of all lots of talking. Yeah you heard me folks, talking. The film is coming to theaters in its full unrated glory so what better way to promote such an event than by releasing a trailer that's 75% talking. Well alright they also put the words that are being said on the screen, ya know for the hearing impaired, but who cares about reading.
The first clip from "Hatchet II" has made its way online and is ready for your viewing. The film will be released in full unrated glory on October 1st and from the clip looks to be just as good as the original. Take that any way you like.
Confirmation has come down from the heavens that there will in fact not be a TV movie made to wrap up the "Heroes" series. I had no idea the show was even canceled. What happened on the last episode? Did the cheerleader get knocked up?
"Big movie news announcement coming soon. Finally." That's the word from Rob Zombie's twitter account. Is that news? I'm not even sure at this point but I'm giddy with excitement.
The film is called "Chain Letter" and there's a new clip up on the tubes for you today. Remember how spooky it was to get a chain letter twenty years ago? About damn time they made a movie about that. Alright truth be told I didn't read the movie's synopsis but I'm taking a shot in the dark based on the title.
Wasn't this the plot of an episode of "Seinfeld"? A library in Minnesota recently had a book returned that was 35 years overdue Unfortunately the book wasn't "Tropic of Cancer".
1901 - President William B. McKinley died in Buffalo, N.Y., of gunshot wounds inflicted by an assassin eight days earlier. Vice President Theodore Roosevelt, 42, was sworn in, becoming the youngest president in U.S. history.
A few more minor details have been released regarding the momentum building behind "The Thing" prequel. Ever wonder what that little alien bugger looked like before it met R.J. MacReady? Sounds like we might find out.
Not to be content with a TV Series that was already working well in its current form in the UK, The Syfy Channel have announced plans to re-do the popular "Being Human" series.
Dark Sky Films have snatched up the rights to Adam Green's "Hatchet 2". Whether or not you loved or hated the first film, Dark Sky sees a franchise in their future.
In news you never thought you'd hear, a sequel to Dee Snider's "Strangeland" is officially being made. Even weirder, "Strangeland II: The Disciple" will be co-starring Robert Englund!
Australian Stephen Gough is facing life behind bars. No, not for bloody murder; for refusing to wear clothes in public.
A Charlotte man plummets 20 stories to his death. This was more shocking until it was revealed that the man was attempting to jump from one 29th story balcony to another.
1943 - Hitler declares "Total War"
Guillermo Del Toro discusses his inspiration for his "Strain" trilogy of vampire novels, the first of which is due to hit bookshelves on Junes 2nd.
Robert Downey JR wants to play Edgar Allen Poe in a script written by Sylvester Stallone. I know, I thought he was off drugs too, this is so sad. (JOKE, people)
So, we decided the other day that this new Filmax flick "Paintball" has a cool trailer, but was really playing the paintball schtick up way too much for me to take it seriously. As you can see though, they've really kept it classy with the poster. UGH.
Adam Green is hoping he'll get to shoot "Hatchet 2" next winter. Nothing is set in stone yet, but the idea and the interest is there, now it's just all about the pieces coming together. I for one would definitely watch if Green were to turn out another hilarious slasher in this series.
Speaking of interesting, if not totally amazing slasher films, it turns out that there's a Tobe Hooper-less sequel to his "Toolbox Murders" remake currently in the works. This one promises to "rise far above the last Toolbox". Guess we'll see.
Joe Dante won't ever write or direct a "Gremlins 3", although he does see it happening at some point in the future (just without him, apparently). He also says he thinks the guys who made that infamous "fan film" should be responsible for another sequel, and that he's currently working on two spectacular Blurays of the original films.
Cult leader and convicted pedophile escapes prison via helicopter. I take back what I said about the prison escape scene in last year's "Prom Night", this story actually makes that realistic in comparison.
Moral of this story, you don't want to ever meet the man who can take repeated taserings and still come up shooting. If you do, he's probably going to kill the shit out of you, just because he can.
Here's a way to get back at your father for all those chores you had to do when you were a kid... how about cut out his pacemaker with a pocket knife? I kid, of course, but the story at the link proves that it's actually possible to do such a thing. Read at your own risk.
1945: With Allied forces closing in on Berlin, Adolf Hitler marries Eva Braun in their fortified bunker. They kill themselves the following day.
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".


text: New missions programóA beginning preparation for missionaries Wednesday, April 14 at 10:34 AM Beginning in the fall of 2004, Treveccaís School of Religion will offer a new academic program that is designed to prepare students for servant-leadership careers as missionaries. The Global Missions Program will allow students who are called to missionary service to pursue preparation in one of two ways: 1) Students can major in religion with a professional minor in missions, or 2) they can major in another academic discipline and minor in missions. ìThis cross-disciplinary program reflects the changed face of missions,î says Tim Green, dean of the School of Religion. Pointing out that today many missionaries work in a variety of jobs, such as in businesses or in teaching, Green reports that this program provides a way for students to begin their preparation for the kind of missionary service that is needed in the 21st century. Green is quick to point out that, while this program may appear to be ìnew,î an emphasis on missions has always been a part of a Trevecca education. He adds, ìPreparing students for missionary service and an interest in missions have been integral to Treveccaís larger mission. This program puts into academic practice what Trevecca has always sensed a burden for and commitment to.î This program is a response to the increasing number of Trevecca students who report being called to missionary service. That increase is also reflected in the number of students who spend their summers as missionary volunteers and in the number of students who participate in the short-term summer missions programs through TAG (Treveccans Around the Globe). When the short-term mission trips were begun some years ago, Green says that filling all of the slots was a difficult task but that now the number of students who volunteer is double the number of slots in the group. That increase is more important when one considers that the TAG participants pay their own expenses for these trips. Persons who desire more information about the Global Missions Program should contact the School of Religion at 615-248-1378.

For easy entertaining, try this swanky Brie & fig torte. The recipe is from the makers of Dalmatia Dried Fig Spread, which makes a delicious pairing with many different cheeses. You can serve the Brie recipe with cocktails, as an appetizer or as a cheese course.
Croatia, in south central Europe, sits on the Adriatic Sea between Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Much of the ancient Roman province of Dalmatia sits in present-day Croatia. The country is known for its natural beauty as well as for its production of healthy food.
Dalmatia Fig Spread is a thick preserve made from hand-picked Adriatic figs. Following the popularity of the original fig spread, a version with oranges and figs is now imported as well. Both are available at fine food stores nationwide, or online at iGourmet.com.
In addition to this Brie torte, you can use fig spread as a condiment with other cheeses and:

Score Atlanta
Just a day after being named No. 1 in Class AAAAAA, Johns Creek was topped by No. 3 South Forsyth. South Forsyth swept the tri-match 2-1 over the Gladiators and 2-0 over North Forsyth. It was a memorable night as Kelli McCravy recorded her 2,000th career assist and teammate Tory Wright registered career dig number 1,000. South Forsyth is 4-0 in its area play and will play an area tri-match with Centennial and Alpharetta next Tuesday.
Johns Creek will take the court again this Thursday with the same slate of Centennial and Alpharetta. Walton dominated its matches on Tuesday, topping Milton (25-12, 25-6) and Marietta (25-4, 25-7). The Raiders travel to the Berkeley Prep Tourney this weekend with a chance to reclaim a top ranking.
Chattahoochee rolled past Alpharetta and Lambert in straight sets and will play Lovett and Whitefield Academy Thursday before dipping back into region play with North Forsyth and West Forsyth next Tuesday.
Sequoyah continues collecting wins and handled Creekview and Forsyth Central on Tuesday in straight sets. The Chiefs face region-rival Pope next Tuesday in an area match.
In Class AAAA, Marist topped South Atlanta 2-0 and Columbia 2-0 in a tri-match on Tuesday. The War Eagles' tough schedule has prepared them for Area play as they sit atop the standings after the early action.

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- Senate President-elect Robert Stivers and Secretary of State Alison Grimes announced their support Monday for Senate Bill One, which is designed to make it easier for Kentuckians serving in the military overseas to vote.
The legislation would implement online voter registration for uniformed service and overseas voters. If passed, the bill would allow ballots to be cast by e-mail instead of using the U.S. Post Office, which is now required by current Kentucky law.
"While I am encouraged by the great care taken by the armed services to ensure the safe delivery of ballots and efforts to encourage participation, I also have seen firsthand that there remain significant obstacles to military and overseas voting," said Grimes. "We must do all that we can to preserve the privileges of citizenship that thousands of Kentuckians dedicate their lives to fighting for."
Stivers and Grimes believe the bill will pass because of their bi-partisan effort. Stivers is a Republican, Grimes a Democrat.

Thursday, we brought you a dramatic 911 call for help from an east valley man whose roommate went on a rampage with a sledge hammer.
The call is tough to listen to, even for the man who made it. Ron Nichols says he was scared when he called for help, but now that his friend is in jail, he wishes he would have handled things differently.
"I knew things were not going to end well."
You can see by the home's shattered windows things didn't end well at this east Mesa home. In a moment of desperation on New Year's Eve, Ron Nichols called 911.
911 call: "Please ahh ahh oh my god oh my god oh no you have to help me."
Behind a locked door, Nichols told officers his longtime friend and roommate Jeffrey West was attacking him with a sledgehammer.
West apparently was hacking away at the door to get to his friend.
"I was behind the door and he was angry and upset and something had set him off, but he loses touch with reality," says Nichols.
911 call: "He's threatening everybody. He's beating on the door help me help me ahhh!"
Nichols was afraid when he made that call, but today, he has a moment of clarity.
"My friend Jeff West has a brain injury."
He defends his friend and nearly blames himself for West's arrest. SWAT officers had to forcibly remove west from the home because he was ignoring officer's commands.
"I feel bad because I let my friend down. We could have done it differently. We've done it differently in the past, next day he wakes up apologizing – 'Ron I'm sorry, the brain injury, the drugs, a little bit of alcohol.' he's just one who has a lot of problems," explains Nichols.
West is charged with aggravated assault, criminal damage and disorderly conduct.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
feels like a private school. outstanding teachers (at least for K-1). daughter loves the school and can't wait to go each morning!
This is an amazing school where the principal loves the children and is always keeping the faculty on top of new and innovative learning. The school is smaller and the kids get great individual attention. This school honors the importance of art in their curriculum. Amazing! Love this place!
Sunol Glen Elementary School has excellent teachers & staff. The students learn by creating meaningful projects and presenting the information to their fellow students. This school has a great art program and really encourages students to broaden their outlook on life by painting, drawing, & sculpting. The atmosphere is friendly and warm. Teachers welcome parents to participate and get involved.
This is the best public school with a private feel around. I moved to this community to make sure my kids could go to this small school with small class sizes. Now people drive their kids from miles around so their children can attend this awesome school. A school where everyone knows each child by name. A school that still has art, music and drama! A school where parents make a difference with awesome administration.
Sunol Glen School is truly amazing and as we like to say, our pseudonym is 'Sunol Gem'! The staff and administration are caring, respectful, dedicated and loving. The exact place parents would like to bring their kids and feel safe and secure knowing their children are in great hands! The parent involvement is truly phenomenal and responsible for a number of great opportunities for the children's learning experience. I can't say enough about how wonderful this school is!
My daughter has attended Sunol Glen For 7 years. We have had some bumps along the way. At one point I went to change her school and started to research and tour the alternatives. I realized that Sunol is a gem compared to all the school I looked at in Fremont area. Mr.Wheeler is a fantastic all around teacher. When I say all around I mean he really cares about the kids personally. He is not just focused on start test and grades. When a child is having a bad day he gets it and does not make them wrong for having real human emotions that fluctuate at the 6th grade level. We also adore Mrs. Mayer as a teacher. She was very loving as well and had some awareness in regards to not feeling the kids with sugar filled treats. We have made so many wonderful life long friendships through this school. Its not perfect and they have to follow good old California's many many ridiculous rules with that being said when it comes down to it they are much better then the rest on all fronts! Except the junk food.....
My children have been attending Sunol Glen School for 11 years and I have been very happy with both the academic and social aspects of their education here. The school's not perfect, and the transition in administration has had bumps in the road, but the students are well-rounded and happy, the teachers excellent, and the environment safe and friendly. Two of my children have gone on to high school and have proven to be well prepared academically and, though the switch to larger class sizes and a huge student population was jolting, they benefited from maturity and confidence gained in the stable environment of Sunol Glen School. We are lucky to have stumbled upon this tiny, great school!
I attended Sunol Glen Elementary in 1974, my kindergarten year. My teacher, Mrs. Fries, is in my memory as my favorite teacher ever. She was kindhearted, gentle, encouraging... and she taught me how to tie my shoes. This is a huge milestone for a 5-year-old child :) I love Sunol Glen and have very fond memories. It's the best school I ever attended!
I would have given the school a higer score as there are many good teachers, and one who is one of the best teachers I have ever met (hisname is Mr. Ferrera) he is the most engaging speaker I have met in years and as such has no problem grabbing and keeping the children's attention. He is a teacher who can be and is firm when the need araises, and yet will listen to what the children have to say. The school is a wonderful small school and as such does not have the issues that a larger middle school has. (Sex, drugs, and gangs are not to be found) Too bad the principle is so unfair in how she treats the children. If you have a lot of money to give the school or you teach there your child is treated fairly. If not, when your child has a problem it is always their word against the others and nothing ever happens. Also as for the math program, well in 2011 and 2012 out of 25 children each year only about 4 got it and they were the four who could learn it on their own and this year they are sending them home with a dvd to learn the math on their own and going over home work in class. Yep thats right the teacher does not teach them math they learn at home with their parents?
We have been at this school for 8 years. As an educator, I know the amazing, well-rounded education my children are receiving on a daily basis. The students are thriving in this safe, well balanced environment. I am very active in the classrooms on a weekly basis and I am constantly impressed by the high quality of their education. The students still experience very low class sizes in the k-3 grades. All students have at least one period a week of Music and Art with credentialed teachers. We have an incredible interactive Math program, ST Math, in the computer lab for k-5th grades. It makes me sad to see reviews that don't focus on the whole picture, rather on the one thing that made them mad. If I had to do it all over, i would choice Sunol glen without hesitation.
We have been at this school for six years. The entire time I have made and effort in many different ways to change the schools policy on junk food at school. The snack shack is disgusting - filled with candy and sugar filled sports drinks. The school community club and classroom parents bring in endless amounts of sugar for every event. The walk a thon this year was as usual filled with sugar aprrox = 250 grams of sugar per student. My daughters halloween party this year was another example of the amount of sugar the kids are allowed at this school. The kids in her 5th grade class were offered krispy creme donut and a cupcake along with an entire sandwhich bag of candy to take home. I can go on and on with example just like this in the preschool as well. My sons preschool parties always consisted of 4-5 sugar treats in one sitting. I am done with this school for the very reason that they are blind to the sugar junk food problem. We have had some serious and very concerning experiences with two of the teachers at this school as well. I tried and tried and tried and im exhausted. The community club president said to me " kids associate treats with having fun".... How is that ok????
As a parent of three students at Sunol Glen, I am pleased with the continual quest for greatness in all grade levels. The K-3 multi-age classrooms are wonderful, and I have seen tremendous growth as two of my children have progressed through this program. I am extremely pleased with the increased focus on the middle school program as well, with additional elective options being offered and the math and science departments strengthened. The collaboration among teachers is great, and there is a very positive feel and attitude on campus. The increase in API this past year is a reflection of that great teamwork and focus on providing our children a top-notch public education
Sunol Glen is a small, semi-rural, single school district. Though it's very close to huge, impersonal juggernaut USDs it the exact opposite. It is a wonderful school, just ask the current teachers and students! The dead wood is gone. Today, the teachers and administration are engaged, progressive and responsive to parents. They really care about students. The district has a strong Principal who's also the Superintendent. She won Superintendent of the year in Alameda Co. Sunol Glen still offers art, music and Green Team, in addition to the regular 3Rs, and great test scores on top of the family atmosphere. The school is full. What does that tell you?
I love teaching at Sunol. I feel supported by both the parents and the rest of the staff. I have nothing but good things to say about working at Sunol. The teachers work very very hard to make each day interesting and educational for the kids. And the collegial feel is such a nice thing to be greeted with each morning. I get smiles and kind words from everyone. I can sincerely say that I love to go to work each day. I don't know many people who can say that. But it is because of the close, friendly atmosphere at Sunol. I highly recommend this school to anyone who is interested in small class sizes and art and music programs. Plus-- if you come here to see our school, you will fall in love with it. It looks like a little 1950s school out in the country. It is such a sweet place. Charming and lovely and like nowhere I have ever been before.
I have two children who attend this school and I absolutely LOVE it (and so do they). The collaboration between the principal, staff, teachers, parents and students is amazing and allows for a wide variety of activities in a small school environment. The school provides a whole-child education that includes art, music, and science. I couldn't be happier!
Sunol Glen is a gem! The parent involvement is incredible and couples with wonderful teachers and administrators to make for a wonderfully nurturing environment.
What a great school. The students work hard, but are well rounded. It is nice to see teachers who are happy and care deeply about the students. They take extra steps to update their curriculum with new processes that make the standards fun! They are always looking for upgraded ways that keep the children excited and involved with their learning. The well roundedness of the curriculum is wonderful- art, music, science, PE and the 4 R's. Nice to see nothing is spared. Parents volunteers as well, are welcomed and a fantastic asset to the teaching process.
We have been very pleased with Sunol thus far (kids are in third grade and middle school). The K-3 program is outstanding and the teachers really do try to cater to the children's needs and do some very innovative projects that make learning fun. What I really love is the well-rounded education they receive here, from art and music to gardening to speaking at assemblies (even young children get a chance to do this). The majority of the families sought out this school, so you tend to get very motivated parents. We also like the small town feel - Sunol is a special place - where else does the fire department lead the way for the annual Halloween parade? I feel we are avoiding some of the drama that comes with a larger public middle school. We are also pleased with the MS teachers.
This has been the best school year yet. Our dedicated principal has bravely weeded out the teaching staff and hired some real gems. The school continues to support the whole-child by having band and art as part of it's cirriculum. The academic cirriculum is challenging but not stressful. We love Sunol Glen.
New leadership, along with the retirement of some very tired 'chair throwing' teachers has turned this sleepy little school into an emerging powerhouse. Look out Piedmont! Our district API is right behind you, and we have not had to sacrifice that small-school, extended family feeling. Rural 4-H kids and computer kids all come together to make this a very special school. So glad we found it!

I was interviewed on the Red Carpet by the Grammy.com people, who I'm quite sure interviewed her as she came down the carpet.
I think that counts for something.

i can't wait lol.... much probs for you guys. yal are the best!!
I still think it's funny. People are paying for a phone and plan but would never pay for a jailbreak or unlock. Any time someone says they'd pay, everybody flames them and says a jailbreak and unlock should be always free.
Eventually these devs get tired of all the crap and quit or give up. Look at the names from the early 1.1.1 jailbreak days. same people? nope. new fresh faces always waiting to burn out in a year or two.
Why don't these guys just sell the exploits to someone who will make it their job to develop in a reasonable timeframe? and charge $5-10 for the product after all their hard earned effort? I mean how many people pay $10-20 for MyWi and dumb $1 apps.
A few of these fine folks should break free from this nonsense and take this seriously. Business is not a bad thing. This part-time free work crap is silly. I bought unlocked just so I didn't have to deal with this.
untethered jailbreak and iphone 4 unlock! SOUNDS GOOD
Give to me NOW! I've had my iPhone 4 since November, it came with 4.1 and the updated baseband so I've just had a more expensive iPod Touch for a month lol
Not flaming this guy just pointing out the community has changed so much since purplera1n came along.
Although vodafone customer service terrible, I would take the majority of what they say with a pinch of salt.
PS. Your signature made me laugh, it's great haha
People just don't seem to have any patience or can't be greatful. The hackers don't owe us (users) anything. If it wasn't because of the hackers, we wouldn't have our iphones unlocked in the first place. It will come out when it comes out, until then have some patience or get an Android or learn to hack yourselves.
awesome news... looking forward for the unlock
I might be going to Belgium middle of next year and I'd love to have an unlocked iPhone while I'm there. Even if it is for only a few days. I'd bet iOS 5 will be out by then though. Any opinions on whether it would be worth it to buy and unlocked iPhone 5 or whatever it's going to be called while I'm there? I want to get my parents one but they don't want a data plan or signing a contract with AT&T. Would it even work here?
Gotta tell you guys that vodafone uk have agreed to unlock my 2nd hand iPhone 4 in 48 hrs I swear on my childrens lives and today the b*****d I brought it from reported it stolen. Luckily I tracked him down and told him if I dnt get my cash ima burn his house. He told me to meet him at his office 2moz. So I gotta buy a new one now
I'm skipping the iPhone 4, cos I have a 32GB 3GS, but when the iPhone 5 comes out next summer I'm just gonna pay the premium and get a factory unlocked one. Or just get my network to unlock it for free after a year.
Still good news that the dev teams are still hard at work.
THANKS! at last I can now sleep well at night!
Haha so I don't know if my post got deleted because I triggered the swear filter or because I said I'd gladly pay for a jailbreak.
Either way, paraphrased from my previous post. I'd gladly pay for a jailbreak. Although I do think it should be free from Apple, if devs wanted to charge for it I think they should be handsomely rewarded for their hard work.

Comments about Womens ASICS Core Short Sleeve Technical Tops:
This may be the best workout top on the market. You will look good and pulled together while working out. Like street clothes, if you are pulled together, you feel and look better. I think wearing workout gear to non-workout establishments (e.g. store, bank, etc.) is inappropriate but you can get away with it in this top. You won't have that tacky workout look. You can sweat a river in this thing and no one can tell - not even you. You look good before, during and after your workout in this top. The colors make it more fun. I have 3 and will purchase more. I've purchased tops from other manufacture's but this one seems to be more functional and effective.

2012 Findings on the Worst Forms of Child Labor
In 2012, South Africa made a moderate advancement in efforts to eliminate the worst forms of child labor. The Government maintained its Child Support Grants Program during the year. While the grants have mixed results regarding poverty, they have been shown to reduce the likelihood that parents will send their children away for child labor. The Government continued implementation of the National Child Labor Action Program through its national child labor coordinating mechanism. The Government also maintained its no-fee schools and school feeding programs for the country's poorest secondary schools. The Government of South Africa collects data on child labor but does not publish comprehensive reports on the prevalence of the worst forms of child labor or the results of labor and criminal investigations. The worst forms of child labor continue to exist, particularly dangerous work in agriculture and domestic service.

DAVIS — Many boys sentenced to the minimum security Kenneth Honey Rubenstein Juvenile Center say they are thankful for one thing — the opportunity the center has given them.
These 15-21 year-old boys all have been sentenced to the facility from all over the state. And most will say how thankful they are about the change within themselves.
In fact, some residents choose to stay in the facility to further their opportunities.
What kinds of opportunities?
"If it weren't for being here, I never would have received my GED," one said.
These stories are not uncommon, said Stephanie Bond, the superintendent of the Rubenstein Center.
"When a kid leaves here, so many of them are the complete opposite of what they were when they came in," she said. "Their self esteem is higher; they have positive goals. They are confident in their abilities to succeed."
Part of their success stories comes from education. Bond said sometimes students come to the center because of truancy or expulsion.
However, when they get to the center, they are in smaller classrooms and given more individual attention.
"Our boys thrive here educationally," she said. "Sometimes they can't read when they get here, and they leave here reading on several grade levels higher."
The Rubenstein's education department is run through the state Board of Education. Students will take different tests to figure out the level where they belong. For example, if a cadet scores badly in math, they may have more than one math class.
"A majority of our cadets are 17 and older so they work toward their GED. Some are so behind in school that it's not feasible to get enough credits to graduate."
In addition, cadets may spend a half a day working on vocational classes. Here, they can receive certification in auto mechanics, building construction and welding.
Boys also participate in community service around Tucker County. Bond said this year alone, cadets donated between 2,000 to 3,000 hours of community service.
"It's a great facility for the state of West Virginia's youth," Bond said. "There are so many things we are proud of. It has done amazing things for these boys."
Cadets will undergo a risk assessment, which looks at the current charges, past charges, behavior, past placements, substance abuse history, mental health, overall attitude and cadets' willingness to change.
Bond said they also look to see if possible cadets are amendable to change or if there is a propensity for escape or violence.
"We expect these boys to conduct themselves as mature young men," she said. "We expect them to be respectful as well.
"There are no alcoholic beverages or illegal substances, and if they get into a fight, are insubordinate toward someone else or assault someone else, there will be consequences."
Bond said there are problems in the juvenile justice system such as flat sentences, which means boys stay in the facility from one to two years, no matter what.
Bond said it would be better if juveniles instead left the facility once they completed the program, whenever possible.
However, it also depends on the charge. Under certain charges, they may only serve a flat six-month sentence and there isn't a lot judges can do about it, Bond said.
She said the problem is when the flat sentence is a year or more.
"Cadets don't have internal motivation when they get here. Their outlook on life is poor. … Some have had terrible things to happen to them. Flat sentences continue with that. They don't have the motivation to do better. … If you think that you're out in a year no matter what, they think it doesn't matter how good or bad they do."
So how does staff keep cadets motivated even when they have these flat sentences?
"I think the main thing that sets us apart is our staff," she said. "We really care about these boys and we see them succeed when they leave. Without having that mindset and philosophy, we wouldn't be nearly as successful as we are."
Bond said it's all about making positive changes and focusing on what brought the kid to the facility.
"Show them the positives of making positive changes of how their life can be when they leave. Forget the sentence. Let's work on the self and make changes. … A lot are motivated to change. They are accepting of what we have to offer and they want to make the best of the situation."

Hmmmm I thought this was a fall COLOR contest. Many of the top 16 entries are lacking in just that. Perhaps next year you could rename it "fall neutrals contest." Plus I agree, why not have all entries in a category go against each other at the same time and then take the top how ever many based on votes?
We didn't used to vote this way, did we? This seems off-kilter somehow. What was wrong with rating them individually?
I agree that this doesn't seem fair.

I don't think I'm voting. Aren't there big prizes for the winners of this contest? Since there's quite a lot at stake, the contest should be fair. Someone please tell me how this is fair.
Who picked all the boring ones to compare? Where are the interesting ones we have seen over the last few weeks? Where's the color. I didn't think that brown was going to be a winning color in this contest?!
I do not know the criteria how the judges paired these apartments,but they have nothing in common or similarity in decor. It is hard for me to decide this way.
Also I know the rules of entry (since I entered the contest this year) but when design professionals enter their apartment with super professional photos and lighting, it seems unfair to be in the same category with them.
Maybe there should be another contest for "Budget Apartment" contest to differentiate between the professionals in the field and the others.
What is with the lack of love towards brown and neutrals? Obviously this is a colors contest, but brown and beige are colors, that when used well, can be fantastic and totally effective in creating a strong feeling of "color". It appears that a lot of entries that use bright colors are getting votes, though they lack cohesiveness or strong design. Is bold, bright color just for the sake of color really the objective here? You have to have the design to back it up.
It would be interesting to know what the judge's criteria was when narrowing the categories from 40 to 16.
I don't deny that neutrals are colors too, but I see plenty of entries that made it to the final 16 that lack cohesiveness and design as well (not just bold color)
Will the judges be sharing their thoughts about the finalists?
Something about "Fall Colors" makes me think bright (could it be the leaves changing color)...it is somewhat misleading. There is nothing subtle about fall colors....but I see a lot of subtle colored finalists. I am sure there are other contests during the year that would be more suitable for more subtle entries...
Honestly, I think the question is not what criteria the judges used when narrowing the categories from 40 to 16, but from narrowing the categories from 78 to 16. My hope is that in the future, the East is split up the way the West is. There were twice as many featured entries in the East as there were in any other region.
Personally, it's not so much of a lack of love toward neutrals. I think some of the neutrals and more subtle entries are done exceptionally well. The choices that surprise me are ones that are beautiful, but color is not the most compelling feature of the design. Though, no matter what, when you have a group of individuals who are bringing their own style, taste and preferences to judging something so subjective, controversy will be sparked.
Oh, and just because I'm posting this here does not, in any way, mean that I disagree with either of the options above, this just happens to be where this discussion is happening.
I'm so glad to see I"m not the only one questioning some of the chosen 16 here. A lot of entries that I thought were the weakest ones made it through...a lot of these don't include any color except white and wood tone! Why didn't WE get to pick the final 16? We should get to vote on each and every one, like vote on a scale of 1 to 10 as they get posted, then the ones with a vote of 7 or higher move through to compete, instead of some unknown 'judges' using some biased system on who to push through. This head-to-head system is clunky and overwhelming too...
I don't mind the bracketed voting, but I agree that the pick of the semi-finalists to go into the voting round seems wonky.
This is from the main page of their contest, and also the reason why I don't understand the top 16 they chose:
Our Fall Colors Contest is a contest for all color lovers, worldwide. In October, we're looking for the most colorful, most beautiful home on the planet.
Color is one of the most powerful ingredients of successful interior design and the most affordable way to change a room, but few feel comfortable using it. To inspire confidence and improve homes, we're inviting readers to share their colorful homes, tips and sources.
This is very misleading. It seems like color would be the most important factor (even with a slight edge on beauty) I thought this contest would reward the "few" that are comfortable using color instead of the average person's attempt at color with a few bold pillows or a red wall. While some of the finalists are some of these "few" others seem to be one of the failed attempts.
They also chose people who got some really strong negative reactions...while leaving out those who got entirely positive reactions...is there some politics involved in who gets selected?

Can't wait to share this morning's Wrong Wrong Wednesday pick with you - I've got some highly disputed lyrics in today's mondegreen coming up in just a bit. First, make sure you listen up at 7:40 this morning, for your chance to win a pass for two to the "Metallica: Through The Never" movie - in IMAX 3D, starting on September 27th at Regal Signature Theatres! I'm also giving you a two-disk copy of their "Metallica: Through The Never" album!
So on to that mondegreen. This week it's Men Without Hats doing their Safety Dance -
So err … you would think they'd think twice about dancing before the Pope? Or no? Wait. Or is it that they are dancing … pole to pole? You tell me.
Speaking of dancing, a naked Haunted House? Do the scary dance right out of there! I'm not kidding you, a new attraction at a Pennsylvania "Scream" park scares the pants off of thrill-seekers, literally. Wanna know more about it? Click [here] for the full story.
And like I announced yesterday, yours truly will be on the red carpet for Thursday's World Premiere of Hawaii Five-O, season 4. I'm still not sure what to wear… yesterday I mentioned that there's gonna be sand everywhere so I dunno about wearing a tux on the beach. Is there such a thing as formal boardshorts? I gotta look into that. But anyway, if you have questions for any of your favorite Hawaii Five-O stars, send them to me via twitter @KPOI1059HI or on our wall at facebook.com/KPOIFM I'll ask them for you and air the interviews on the air, Friday morning. And no, I won't get their autographs for you.

Hi folks,
Wow, so I'm totally blown away by the fabulous submissions and asks from all my followers! This blog is still wee, but I'm finding myself getting several submissions a day. As such, if you don't see your submission published yet it's probably because it's still in the queue. I do not publish all submissions (some aren't quite appropriate), but I do publish most. Also, if I haven't gotten to your ask it's because I'm juggling a day job with revising the current novel and researching the next.
This week I'm going to be at a writer's conference. I'm going to keep the queue at two published posts a day, but will very likely not get to any asks, and will not likely have time to reblog responses.
Have a great week!

Novopay is a dog of a system, Economic Minister Steven Joyce says.
"It's got a few fleas, yes," he said at a briefing this afternoon, announcing the appointment of former Deloittes CEO Murray Jack to head a technical review of the troubled teachers' payroll system.
That review should be completed "in a matter of weeks", Mr Joyce says.
He does not see the need – yet – to dump the system and go back to the old system run by Datacom.
Such a move would involve "even more short-term pain" and will only happen if the government concludes Novopay is irretrievable.
Mr Joyce, who was given responsibility for sorting out the Novopay mess in the government's cabinet reshuffle last week, has spent the past seven days meeting with the Novopay system vendor, Talent2, and officials.
"Next week's pay round covers the beginning of the school year and the Ministry of Education and Talent2 are expecting further issues particularly with the start of a new secondary school teachers' collective agreement."
New contingency plan
Alongside the technical review being carried out by Mr Jack, the government is also looking at a new contingency plan to ensure teachers' pay is delivered and also a ministerial inquiry into the whole affair, details of which will be signed off by the cabinet next week.
"I have made it clear to all parties that the on-going issues with Novopay are unacceptable and new measures are being put in place to provide timely solutions."
The government is about to do an "information dump" of papers relevant to the approval of the Novopay system, and Mr Joyce says they will show all concerned gave the system the thumbs up when it was approve by ministers and officials in the middle of last year.
"There was definitely knowledge there were bugs in the system at the outset of going live. There are always bugs in systems like these."
Those who approved it "would say in hindsight gave advice they would rather not have given… There's plenty of blame to go around on this. Everybody who has been involved in this will be able to look at this sand saying, actually there's some things we should have done differently".
The cost of the various inquires announced today and the remedial work necessary could cost "millions", Mr Joyce says.
The previous teacher pay system, run by Datacom, had similar problems to Novopay, which was one of the reasons the change was made.
Datacom is majority owned by NBR Rich Lister John Holdsworth.
"Its one of the questions the inquiry needs to look at is what is going on here – is there something going on in the complexity of the system and how it operates.
"We all know it is a very complex system, 15 different collective agreements and all their variations. I'm not using any of that as an excuse, it's just an example of where some of the challenges have been."
But the previous difficulties, particularly when the Datacom system was new in the mid-1990s, suggest something systemic.
"It just doesn't make sense to repeat that level of pain."
Tomorrow's information dump is likely to contain further embarrassment for all concerned and more is expected next week when the next teacher pay round takes place.
NBR Rich List debut
Last year, Mr Holdsworth made his debut in the NBR Rich List with an estimated net worth of $150 million.
He continues as chief executive to lead Datacom, which is New Zealand's largest locally-owned IT services company and 54% owned by him and his family.
Turnover reached a record $725 million last year, though profit dropped a little to $22.3 million.
Datacom's activities are spread throughout New Zealand, Australia and Southeast Asia, with it providing technology services to more than 2000 organisations. It recently announced a push into China.
Datacom has offices in nine New Zealand centres, where 1900 of its 3400 staff work. The company expects to be a $1 billion business within three years.
New Zealand customers include ASB Bank, Microsoft, NZ Post, Air New Zealand, Fletcher Building, NZ Customs, the Justice Department and Land Information NZ.
It also provides payroll services to 3400 New Zealand companies.

Tesla secrets hidden in the pyramids of Egypt

What do you know, fallen angels giving man their God given knowledge.
To the individual speaking in the video, you make alot of claims which are interesting nonetheless, however, do you have credible, reputable, non-illuminati funded sources to supplant your most of the claims you make about Egypt? Are you an Egyptologist? Have you been down there to study the ruins? Do you have firsthand experience with Hieroglyphic translation to substantiate your assertions in what exactly the picto-graphs are saying and symbolize?
I will not deny the egyptians were given advanced higher knowledge as part of the origins of secret societies due in part that they were getting it thru 'spirits', however, but you make many claims, even the biblical ones which are skewed in a sense since they are being decoded with the mind of someone who isn't a believer in the God of the Bible, but rather a cheap counterfeit.
Tesla was motivated by the same 'spirits' as the egyptians were this much is clear, however, the egyptians perished for a reason, because they defied the very power that created them in the first place. This technology will always bring an empire to ruin when it is born in corrupted hands.

Agreed sandman, but regarding the argument about the pyramids not being tombs; the people who first explored the great pyramid had to blast their way in with dynamite when they found the Kings chamber empty. So how could grave robbers get in the steal the stuff inside? and then seal it back up? Why would they do that? Would that be even possible? No mummies have ever been found in any of the pyramids have they, As far as I know they were all found in the valley of the Kings, some way from Giza. Peace.

Finally something about the pyramids that makes complete sense. I've been waiting a long time for info like this !!

Fernando Alonso's relationship with his Ferrari mechanics was hanging in the balance over today's grudge match between Spain and Italy in the European Championships. The game kicked off at midday Canadian time, but with the race starting at 2.00pm it was going to be hit and miss as to whether Fernando would be able to watch it all.
After parking his car on the grid, Fernando dashed back to the Ferrari hospitality area for a 'comfort break' and a few more minutes of football before returning to the grid with just seven minutes to go until the start of the race. In the end the game finished 1-1, surely the best possible result for intra-Ferrari relations – if not for Fernando!
Saturday evening was another busy one for the drivers, though some chose to enjoy more relaxing activities than others. Jenson Button, who you'll recall had already clocked 75km on his bike earlier in the week, took part in a charity fun run around the track. True to his reputation as F1's ironman, Jenson duly clocked the fastest lap time of the weekend. "I ran my first lap with (my girlfriend) Jessy," he said. "But my second lap felt quicker than my qualifying lap!"
While Jenson was working up a sweat, MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS driver Nico Rosberg was having a more sedate time. After qualifying fifth on the grid, the German visited the Cirque du Soleil headquarters, situated less than a mile from the track, to watch a performance of their brand new show. It's not all work, work, work you know. "It's fantastic," was his verdict.
Rosberg's team-mate Michael Schumacher hasn't had much luck this year and it didn't show any signs of improving in Montreal. A malfunctioning DRS rear wing led to the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS driver's fifth retirement in the opening seven races.
Also looking to improve his luck was Bruno Senna. The Williams driver says that he's always performed well when he's done a bit of boxing practice before a race, so this morning he enlisted the help of Williams PR Sophie Eden to hold the pads. Unfortunately it didn't prove overly lucky for either of them: Bruno recorded a disappointing 17th place finish whilst Sophie spent the day with a stiff shoulder…
Admittedly the Canadian GP doesn't attract as many celebs as Monaco, but there were still plenty of famous faces with a 'need for speed' around the paddock this weekend. Top Gun actor Anthony 'Goose' Edwards spent the day with Williams yesterday, while Beverly Hills 90210 star Jason Priestley was at the track today and witnessed a race with a script straight out of a soap opera.
Seven different winners from seven races – who'd have thought it? Roll on Valencia.

-Arvind Ganesan is the Director of the Business and Human Rights Program at Human Rights Watch. The opinions expressed are his own.-
Equatorial Guinea is a tiny country of about half a million people on the west coast of Africa, but is the fourth-largest oil producer in sub-Saharan Africa.
Most of the investment in the country's multi-billion dollar oil industry comes from the United States. ExxonMobil, Hess and Marathon are all there. Right now, the U.S. imports up to 100,000 barrels of oil a day from Equatorial Guinea, or about a quarter of the country's oil production.
Oil money gives the country the means to be a model for development and human rights. The economy is nearly 130 times as big as it was when oil was discovered in 1995. But as a report released by Human Rights Watch today details, the government has squandered or stolen much of the money at the expense of its people.
It is a sad contrast, since the country has a per capita income comparable to Spain's or Italy's and development indicators more like Afghanistan's. For just one sad example, infant and child mortality actually has increased -- from an already-dismal 103 deaths per thousand in 1990 to 124 per thousand in 2007. Similarly, under-5 mortality rates increased from 170 per thousand in 1990 to 206 per thousand in 2007.
