Stephenson High School now has 11 seniors that have both been offered and accepted D1 college football scholarships.
Nicholas Gibbons, a 6-foot-5, 290-pound offensive lineman, said he committed to Memphis over Boston College, Vanderbilt and Wake Forest.
Gibbons said it's special being part of the senior class at the Stone Mountain school, which is a candidate to lead the nation with the most players signing major-college football scholarships in February.
"It's crazy being around that many good players," Gibbons said. "It's a good thing; it only makes you better, being around that kind of competition. Every one pushes each other. There's always competition."
Gibbons has a 3.0 GPA and wants to study Computer Engineering.
Here's a list of the other Stephenson 2012 players that have committed (click on each link to read about each):
Who is next? Stephenson is projected to end up with 14-17 players that will sign D1 scholarships.
RB TJ Moon has Southern Miss, Florida Atlanta and Memphis as his leaders, while DB Kristoff Ricks is considering Maryland, UConn and Middle Tennessee State. LB-TE Amos Harper is favoring Syracuse and Rice, and LB Kadeem Murray is being scouted by Western Kentucky.

Carvell, any idea how many of these kids transfered there? He seems like the 3rd one who didn't start his career there.

You will continue to see this article time after time until Stephenson is eliminated from the post season in the 2nd round. Then it will start up again next year. Promote recruiting coordinator to head coach for Pete's sake.
July 26th, 2011
11:07 am
Congrats to the young man. However I also find it hard to imagine that a team that is always loaded with D1 talent can't bring home the state title. Is it that the coach is a better mouthpiece for these kids than he is a coach?
July 26th, 2011
11:13 am
Not a single one staying in-state? Do any of our in-state schools recruit at Stephenson HS?
July 26th, 2011
11:18 am
None to UGA. It is funny how this talented pool of players avoids UGA.
What is going on?
July 26th, 2011
11:23 am
Who is supporting this young man and helping guide him through the recruiting process? He has a chance for a free ride at some real academic titans (Vandy, Wake and BC), but elects to go to Memphis? That's an interesting decision…
July 26th, 2011
11:52 am
Man, that recruiter outta be given a huge raise…….
July 26th, 2011
12:06 pm
to the writer of this post…"one ga high school has 11 players signed to play D1″… How many times in a month do we have to be reminded about Stephenson having all of these players sign LOI's? One would have his head under a rock not to guess who you were talking about. I'm an AA, so believe I am ecstatic about what's going on at Stephenson, but it's news not worth repeating several times a month. Wait until close to signing day, at least. Just saying.
July 26th, 2011
12:11 pm
Interesting but as Bill Dawg said, none to UGA. It seems this year, recruits are committing earlier. This real story might be…will this hurt or help programs like Georgia that are traditionally slow to make an offer?
July 26th, 2011
12:12 pm
as far as the comment about kids transferring: Check Milton and Wheeler in basketball. Also, how the heck does a preppy school with hardly any athletic base win two state titles in a row (Sandy Creek)? By recruiting kids from south Fulton County and getting to move to apartments and rental homes.
July 26th, 2011
12:29 pm
Bill Dawg – you do realize the head coach is Ron Gartrell. He did send his own son (TJ) to UGA several years back. UGA just had other players higher on their board this year than the Stephenson kids.
July 26th, 2011
12:45 pm
Too bad they haven't won a state title…and won't again this year
July 26th, 2011
1:31 pm
Next time you run this article can you change the title to read the following: One GA high school pumps out the most D-1 talent but has zero, yes that's right ZERO, state championships to show.
About time for the Stephenson nuthuggers to jump on board and start screaming it's not about the titles…
July 26th, 2011
1:44 pm
Man with all that talent I vote we just call the AAAAA season a wrap…what do you think???
July 26th, 2011
2:12 pm
Do you want an individual explanation on each of the 11 as to why they won't be at UGA?
July 26th, 2011
2:39 pm
This school pump out D-1 athletes like a trick popping out baby's in a trailor park, but what they both have in common is they don;t know how to win. Maybe it's the coaching, maybe it's the players(not)but what we do know is this there not winning. ZERO state titles. What's up with that?
July 26th, 2011
2:51 pm
the article is about Nick not how many rings stephenson has. if the haters focused on reading the articled you might get something from it.
July 26th, 2011
3:09 pm
Amazing, simply amazing and mind boggling, all those D-1 prospects, YET unable to win a Championship. How can that be? How can a school so talent rich ever lose a game? They should be dominating Georgia High School football, instead they usually 2-3 regular season games and lose in the 2nd round of the playoffs? What's the story? Overhyped? Lack of unity? Discipline? Poorly coached? We know it isn't lack of talent, so what is it? Anyone have the answer?
As regards why Georgia isn't getting any of these guys, no idea, maybe they weren't interested in the Georgia program. I'm curious why that question isn't asked about GT and Fish Fry. Why isn't GT successfully recruiting these guys? There are guys committed to Vandy, Syracuse, Memphis but NOT GT? Why? It can't be grades, the young man featured in this piece has excellent grades, as does Herring. Is GT waiting until some of them start entertaining offers from Presbyterian, Western Illinois, North Ala, Western Carolina? Someone ask the question of Fish Fry.
July 26th, 2011
3:13 pm
Here is a better story: What is Stephenson doing to even get their players through the NCAA Clearing house process? How are all of these players qualifying for these offers? Whatever blueprint they are using, I am sure other programs in the Atlanta area would benefit. There are dozens of hidden gems in this town who go on to do nothing because the light never shined on them.
@Stephenson Supporter.. I feel you. The problem is, the writer should have changed the title to specifically name Nick or his position. He left nothing to be desired with that title and caused most people to just gloss over the article and go straight for the kill.
July 26th, 2011
3:24 pm
I applaud this coach for getting these kids noticed and getting them into college. I don't care if they don't win a game, not many coaches can say they put that many kids in college. At the end of the day it's all about education. I wish alot of our own will step up for the sport of baseball – we are pretty much obsolete in college baseball and pros.
July 26th, 2011
3:30 pm
@Brian Yes, I know UGA history. You don't understand why all of these neighboring state schools are swooping in and out recruiting UGA. Disappoints me partna.
Coach Gartrell is a wonderful man and a terrific mentor.
July 26th, 2011
3:44 pm
I applaud Stephenson on all the D-1 offers. Do u think they will beat MLK this year. If Stephenson had MLK coaching staff would they win state. I think so…………
July 26th, 2011
3:46 pm
I know J Parris – Shiloh & R Kriby from Gwinnett Football League & they transfered in.. Joshua is an above average player but a great student & kid, comes from a great family.. But for the life of me I do not know why the Jags have yet to sniff a Finals..
Might be because they recruit these kids in as Jr & Sr's & have great talent, but not cohesive as a unit.. The State championships AA & AAAAA & maybe A, run thur the best sports playing county in the Country – Errrrr that be Gwinnett!!!

Markuss-Eligwe? The last few times you published the list of Stephenson commits you left off Markuss, and the fact he's committed to FSU. Is there something we don't know?

Hey Goldtimer, Why don't you school recruit any of our standouts? Funny you bash them for not winning a title but youre own school just got busted by the PoPo and took youre title.
July 26th, 2011
6:35 pm
Congrats to this fine yong man. Now what Stephenson HS football team has to do with this much talent is to allow these players sign earlier so they can concertrate on winning the state championship!!!!!
July 26th, 2011

MLK has always had talent just look and see who holds the state record for a high school first 6 years. It starts and end with TEAM players not INDIVIDUALS!!!!!!
July 26th, 2011

The Truth D 1 caliber players usually have a lot of offers and they want to get away from home.Metro Atlanta players usually don't consider Tech.

how many of these bloggers team has won state titles. if your team has not won one, why are you complaining. and i"m not talking about in the 60's and 70's.

yall are sad little people congrats stephenson.

Honest Ingine,
What money does stephenson have to spend? What facility do they have to brag on?
July 26th, 2011
10:53 pm
Dekalb County is always rich with talent in all the sports. I don't know why UGA and GT don't recruit hard in their backyard. You look at the schools like MLK , Tucker , Marist , St. Pius , Stephenson , SWD , Cedar Groves , Stone Mountain , Dunwoody and etc. They all have 2 to 3 or more player that will signed LOI in February to a D1 school
July 26th, 2011
11:02 pm
Why do FSU , Florida , South Carolina, Alabama , LSU , Auburn offer our in state kids before GT and UGA. Then you have a GT or a UGA fan say that the player wasn't good enough, buy they offered by the last 5 National Championship Schools
July 26th, 2011
11:37 pm
LOL@ the fools saying stephenson needs a coach. I think kids going to college is 10 times more important than state titles. Lot of good that State title will do them when they have to get jobs.
July 26th, 2011
11:40 pm
Congrats Nick. I wish you much success this year and next year in college. You are a humble young man and will do very well on and off the field….
Now on to some interesting comments. It seems to me that the same bloggers say the same ole stuff whenever a Stephesnon kid gets a little shine. Are most of you all "Dream Killers?" I thought it was a feel good article about a young man doing everything he was suppose to do and is rewarded with a scholarship. Some of you all are so caught up in the school you forget what this article is about. As long as Stephenson continue to produce D-1 athletes articles will be written. So your bashing of the school is like crumbs on the floor. Go to your football program look at what Stephenson has done and pattern yourself behind their blueprint. You might be surprised. It just might work for you…
Sorry for the long blog. Go Jags!!

Your whole premise about Sandy Creek is incorrect:
1. Sandy Creek is far from preppy, i.e even the white boys sag.
2. Sandy Creek vast athletic base; comparable to Central Dekalb. Also, there zone is from
Old National Hwy over by (Our Lady Mercy High) abut to Creekside & Banneker zone. I'm sure you can some athlete in that wide coverage.
3. Not to many apartments .
4. I'm glad I have a choice now. I don't have to drive all the way to Buford to a program or
drive 20 mins up the rd to Carrollton from South Fulton.

7:59 am
The focus of the article is this young man, however unlucky as it may be, but thid is a two part article. It just happens to be about the number of committs that Stephenson has going to D-1 programs. If the opportunity arises for kids to transfer to a program that will get them some recruited and it is legal then it is what it is. This is nothing new for student athletes. What occurs at Stephenson has been going on for years. Keep in mind that these athletes are attending camps as well, a lot of them sacrifice their summers to attend these camps. Someone is paying for them to attend these camps. The parents are lost in this whole thing. If attending Stephenson will get their kids into school on a full ride, not a partial ride, then that may be what is best for that family. As far as championships, their has to be a unified concensus throughout the program to rich that goal. If the focus is honing skills to get recognized to get into school and that is the desire of the team, then there will never be a title for the Jags. Imagine the jaggernaut that Stephenson would be if they converted that mentality into winning titles. Remember not all of those kids on the team will get into a D-1 school, so the program sacrifices 50 or so kids for the good of 11 or so. Just a thought. Stephenson is the envy of many schools, that is why you read some of the stuff when it comes to recruiting. Yes we hear it time and time again. 11 D-1 players do not mean that you have the best talent on the field. Some schools don't do a lot of recruiting in athletics, or they are looking for a full ride for thier kids not just an athletic scholarship. Are these kids guaranteed a full ride? A full ride means that if they don't make it on the field, can they go on to finish college without finacial hardship? Just a thought.

Southlake Carrol Tx.Because you have never won you make excuses that its not important.AGAIN YOU PLAY TO WIN!

Thanks Michael for your weekly Stephenson update. Please make sure you update after the second week of playoffs when all of these eleven kids will done with high school football because their coach knows nothing about calling a game.

Congrats to Nick!!!! Great job putting those players out there too Coaches!! Coach Corey is doing what WE ALL should be doing with these kids…. putting them out there to be seen!! My son went to a few visits with them (it hadn't meant nothing LOL!) and the kids are respectful and the college coaches really love their athletism. I won't hate on Stephenson, NOR Sandy Creek (Eastside waiting on y'all this yr. WONT BE LIKE LAST YR.) because they have great kids and they're fortunate enough to have great coaches that care. Great Job Fellas

Our scorecard of stadium fact-checks:
The Atlanta Braves and Falcons were big news off the playing field in 2013.
Both teams were victorious in their quests to win local approval to build new, high-priced sports facilities, but there was vigorous public debate and countless claims to sway metro Atlantans for or against the plans.

New web filtering troubles Students
Monday, 22 October 2012 19:50USA has recently begun the blocking of websites that the University deem to be outside of official business purposes.
The web filtering has come into question by students and faculty on campus as all the University of South Alabama hard-wired computers follow the blocking regulation.
"The University of South Alabama's computers and internet service are state property and the University is responsible for ensuring that state property is used only for official business purposes, whether it is equipment, facilities, computers or computer bandwidth," USA Director of Public Relations Keith Ayers said.
"USA has contracted with an outside firm to help with issues related to the use of state-owned computers and internet service provided by the University.
"The purpose of these controls is to allow for the greatest legitimate use of the computer system, at the same time protecting the University from the liability of allowing illegal activity on its computer systems or allowing employees to use state property for non-business purposes," stated Ayers.
"Many organizations have similar controls in place as part of their risk management," Ayers added.
The web filtering blocks websites for a number of reasons ranging from gaming to adult material.
These sites are only blocked on University owned and operated computers, students in residence halls should be almost unaffected.
"For students in residence halls, the only sites that are blocked are those that are illegal by their nature, such as child pornography and sites that illegally reproduce copyrighted material.
"For employees, the system blocks sites that have no apparent University business need to be accessed. Examples would include certain gaming and entertainment sites," Ayers explained.
Some people on campus have been affected more than others and harshly disagree with the web filtering, Stasia Weston, who works with the Second Life and Edugaming at USA has had her dissertation disrupted by the web filters.
"I'm the "go to" person on campus for Second Life and edugaming and what they've done has just amounted to unravelling 3+ years worth of my work and left me dead in the water as far as research for my dissertation using people from this university for interviews and virtual observations," Weston explained. "I've basically had to refocus my dissertation so that I can use interviews and observations of people not affiliated with USA."
"This has been a major issue trying to do research and other things for classes, having to wait to have sites unblocked and fixed. This is becoming a mess to just get anything done," stated Patrick Collins, meteorology major. "We couldn't even get our radar data from Allison-house for the department till we called to unblock it."
There is a way to get a website unblocked if a student or faculty member thinks it has been wrongly blocked. If a site is blocked you receive a screen with information as to why it is blocked as well as links to send a request for a review of the website and possibly get is unblocked.
"Of course, no system is perfect and if an employee or student is inadvertently blocked from accessing a site that falls within the appropriate guidelines, he or she should follow the directions on the blocking notification system to restore access," Ayers said.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Bacon & Pepperjack Macaroni & Cheese
This past weekend, I had the privilege of traveling to Roanoke to gather with a bunch of food bloggers for the first-annual Mixed conference. I will be posting more photos and stories of the event soon. It was a total blast!
One of the highlights of the weekend came as a total surprise to me. My Roasted Vegetable Macaroni & Cheese ended up winning a midnight mac 'n' cheese contest sponsored by Dreamfields Pasta! I was more than a little shocked, and have no doubt that my face turned beet red as I walked up to receive the prize. But they were awesome, and even gave me a red sash, black feather boa and a little tiara. So fun! :)

A babysitter connected to the disappearance and presumed death of a 3-year-old girl who vanished more than a decade ago stood before a judge Tuesday and pleaded guilty.
At the same time, several states away, the prime suspect in the case was arrested.
Pilar Rodriguez was with Melissa Harding-Jones, her babysitter, and Keith Wilson, Harding-Jones' then-boyfriend, when the child vanished during a trip to Punta Gorda in 1999.
The girl's body has never been found.
Harding-Jones pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact, a first-degree felony.
After Harding-Jones pleaded guilty, a warrant was executed for Wilson in Bath County, Kentucky.
The 42-year-old was charged with first-degree murder. He's being held for an extradition hearing.
"We're happy they dropped the charges of manslaughter," said Robert Barrar, Harding-Jones' attorney. "It establishes what we already knew...she had nothing to do with the the death of this child."
The attorney said Harding-Jones is "upset and remorseful" about everything.
"She's going home to live her life," he said.

Men's Basketball vs Cal Baptist 2004
November 11, 2004
OLYMPIA, WA -- Tonight the Evergreen men's basketball team was handed a difficult assignment-rebounding from last night's drubbing by Lewis-Clark State College against the equally formidable California Baptist University Lancers, a team whose roster includes three Division I transfers.
The game opened much like last night's affair with the Geoducks missing several open shots early to fall behind 13-5 with five minutes gone. But unlike last night, the Geoducks didn't evaporate in the heat of the game. While Evergreen still found themselves struggling from the field-shooting right at 28 percent from both sides of the arc-they kept the halftime margin to eight points with defense that forced 12 turnovers and held the Lancers to a mortal 42 percent shooting percentage in the half.
Julius Marshall and Josh Peterson led Evergreen into the break with five points a piece. Cal Baptist spread the scoring around as Junior Denson, Terrance Johnson, Gary Holmes, and Marshall Hartman all scored six points.
The Geoducks opened the second period with a run to cut the Lancer lead to 34-29. Walter Tucker returned to last season's form as he posted up and beat the bigger Lancer inside men with a couple of quick skill moves. Wes Newton also caught fire recording twelve points in the half for the Geoducks to finish the night with 15 points.
The two teams battled evenly for the next ten minutes with the Geoducks getting as close as four points at 48-44.
But with seven minutes to go, a spate of Evergreen turnovers let the air out of the balloon. Cal Baptist converted a series of easy buckets to stretch their lead to 56-44. Junior Denson led the breakout with ten points, while ten Lancer players scored in the half to end the game 74-54.
The Geoducks shot 52 percent from the field in the second half, but their 13 second half turnovers coupled with a 23-39 rebounding deficit accounted for the spread.
Evergreen will host Seattle University Tuesday night at 7:30 before heading out for a re-match with Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston, ID November 27th.

Q: I'm a bit confused about Apple's Photo Stream feature. I've been told that it actually doesn't store my full-resolution pictures, so I'm kind of wondering what the point is. I can sort of understand that if it's only about sharing pictures between by devices, but why would I want to use it on my computer if it's downscaling and modifying my images. Also, what about things like GPS and time information stored in my photos? Is that preserved or stripped out? I know that I used to lose this information when e-mailing or uploading photos to MobileMe. Does Photo Stream do the same? Thanks for any help you can give me.

A: The standard iCloud Photo Stream feature uploads your original photos as-is, in their original resolution with all metadata intact. This means that your photos as transferred to your Mac or Windows PC will be the original photos from your device.
However, where this gets confusing is that iOS stores a downscaled version of your photo in the Photo Stream section on your devices. This is true even on the device where the photo originated. The specific resolution of the Photo Stream stored photos varies slightly between devices as it is optimized for the screen resolution, but the maximum is between 3.1 and 3.5 megapixels, depending on the photo's aspect ratio—2048 x 1536 for standard 4:3 images, a slightly higher 2304 x 1536 for "pro" camera 3:2 images.
This basically means that even on the iPhone 4 the images stored in your Camera Roll will be significantly higher in resolution than those stored in the Photo Stream. If you're planning to work with original, full-resolution images in another app on your iOS device you should keep the photos in your Camera Roll even after they've been uploaded to your Photo Stream so that you can use these instead of pulling them from the Photo Stream. However, the resolution of photos stored within the Photo Stream should be more than adequate for viewing on the device or uploading to most social networks—many of which will resize the photos to even lower resolutions anyway.
Despite this downscaling, however, EXIF metadata is preserved in the Photo Stream even on your other devices. This means that GPS location information, lens and exposure settings and a proper date and time stamp will be available for those photos.
Keep in mind that this only applies to the main Photo Stream feature, not to the new Shared Photo Streams in iOS 6. Photos uploaded to Shared Photo Streams are always resized to the maximum 3.1-3.5 MP resolutions noted above, and will therefore be in those lower resolutions even in Aperture, iPhoto or the Windows iCloud Control Panel. As the name implies the Shared Photo Streams feature is designed for sharing photos, and not intended as a means to transfer full-resolution photos back to your computer.
That said, it's worth noting that Shared Photo Streams do work fully over either a Wi-Fi or 3G connection, while the standard Photo Stream remains limited to Wi-Fi only, probably at least partially due to the higher bandwidth required to upload full-resolution photos.

Seems to me like the Shared Photo Stream feature is more targeted at people who share lots of photos of low importants. Sadly not for people who want to share treasured moments with close friends and family. I guess I still have to rely on Emails for those full-sized photos…
It would be very nice if Apple introduced a full-size upload option for Shared Photo Streams and the option to download select photos in full-size from a Shared Photo Stream.

I reverted to Shared Photo Streams as a way of organising my photos as albums, until I found that the images are downsized. I blogged about it.
It's incredibly frustrating, as Apple provide no way of organising your photos on your iDevices before syncing back to your PC. It seems the only provider that supports original resolution, organisation, and EXIF data, is… Dropbox!
Posted by Damo on December 15, 2012 at 11:03 PM (CST)
one thing worth noting is that photo stream seems to time stamp your photos with the home timezone, not the timezone where the photos were taken. e.g. i took photos over new year's in Japan on an iPhone set to Japanese time. They uploaded to photo stream and were viewable on my mac when I got home to Ireland. However, all the timestamps were 9 hours off (Irish time). Not sure why it does this or if there's a way to change it. Any ideas?

Thanks for this! Preparing for a trip to the Disney Resort and wanted to be sure that what I upload to Photo Stream from my Macbook will be high quality when i download them to my iMac when I get home..
(PS Google SPYW brought me right here when I Google'd!)

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
The involvement I have had with the teachers and the Prinicipal have been very courteous and professional
Very disappointed in this school's handling of bully and harassment. The principal didn't stop it and unfortunately the superintendent backed him. They really put an emotional scar on my child's school experience. One that he will never be able to forget and I will never be able to forgive. I don't know if they are receiving any grants or funds for this reason but if so unfortunately they haven't learned or applied anything toward such an important issue. No one wants their child to go through bullying and harassment and not have the school support them. It's really sad....
This is the only school that I have been to and wouldn't regret going to this school!
I have a 4 year old that is in the pre k program, she has learned so much in just the first half. I am conviced that she will be reading by next year!
My daughter has learned more at this school then in any previous school she has been in. The English program is the best.
This school system is impressive. Before we moved here, we lived in Duncan School District. The state of that school district is why we moved to Comanche. We had the option to move to Marlow, but that was even worse. This school is a family. They care about my children, really care about them...all four of them. We've had children in every grade level at this school and have never experienced a bad teacher, in fact, they were all wonderful. They were very professional, friendly, and they were wonderful communicators. They were just as concerned with my childrens experience as well as their academic accomplishment. They offer outstanding after school and summer programs, and the library is amazing...so is the librarian! The state of the art P.E. program, music & art classes are wonderful. The principal is warm and friendly and genuinely cares for the kids...it's not just a job.
I have 5 nieces and nephews and 4 grandchildren who all attend Comanche Elementary school. The entire school system is excellent. All of these children have thrived there. I would recommend this school over any school within Stephens County to anyone wanting to send their child somewhere where they can get a quality education.
Comanche Elementary was last on my list of choices for my child. That was before I'd ever been there. This school is truly phenomenal, not flawless, but close! It offers amazing programs, state of the art technology (apple computers, pianos,equip,etc.) art, music & much more! The teachers we've experienced are kind, caring, & have had a very positive impact on my child's life. The Librarian is truly passionate about broadening the educational experience! The big problem is the bus system. Threats, pushing, hitting, constant cursing (The 'f' word, 'b' word, etc)it's sickening. The Principal is caring and trustworthy in all aspects and addresses this but not well enough to change. A very sad mark on a brilliant school.
Comanche Elementary has been a wonderful experience for my children and us as parents. They have great programs for children with special needs and also ALL of the staff have been wonderful working with us as a team. We moved here in 2005 where my son started 3rd grade. Now I can't imagine my children going to any other school. My husband is prior military, so my son has attended MANY MANY different schools. The whole experience is better than any words can describe. They have worked really hard with us regarding my son and one on one. Two thumbs up!

Asian Pacific American Leaders Condemn Federal Marriage Amendment
Roberta Sklar, Director of Communications
Task Force's Alain Dang to Serve as Coalition Manager
Below is a press release from our friends at Asian Pacific American Coalition for Equality(APACE):
Asian Pacific American Leaders Condemn Federal Marriage Amendment
Contact: Andy Wong
Phone: (415) 341-6415 Email: email@example.com
San Francisco, California - The Asian Pacific American Coalition for Equality (APACE) today announced its launch as a national ad hoc coalition of Asian Pacific American (APA) leaders and organizations determined to fight marriage discrimination against their communities. It represents a broad alliance of APA lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) affinity groups, as well as major APA and LGBT civil rights organizations across the country.
"Through anti-miscegenation laws, exclusion acts, and immigration restrictions, APA families have faced a long, heartbreaking legacy of marriage discrimination in the United States," said Clay Kwong for the People of Color Media Program of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). "That shameful legacy continues to impact thousands of APA same-sex couples who are currently denied access to protections that marriage would afford them and their children."
APACE encourages APA communities to support marriage equality and oppose the Federal Marriage Amendment (FMA), which if passed, would write discrimination directly into the Constitution. Throughout U.S. history, amendments to the Constitution have been adopted to expand or protect the rights of Americans. The FMA would instead limit civil rights.
"For same-sex couples in our communities, the basic privilege of hospital visitation rights and health care benefits would be forever unattainable. The goal of one day being able to sponsor non-citizen partners for immigration and naturalization would be forever unreachable," explained Diana Ming Yin of Scripps College. "Ultimately, this amendment is anti-Asian American."
In recent months, religious conservatives in APA communities have organized rallies in opposition to marriage equality in California. "They are not representative of our communities," said Andy Wong of Marriage Equality California (MECA). "Indeed, fair-minded leaders of our APA communities support equal marriage rights for same-sex couples, and have played a pivotal role in spearheading the movement for marriage equality."
These leaders include: Japanese Americans Al and Jane Nakatani, who helped organize the 1998 campaign against a proposed anti-marriage amendment to the Hawaii state constitution; Chinese American Mabel Teng, who made history by marrying the first same-sex couple in San Francisco earlier this year; and, South Asian Americans Mala Nagarajan and Vega Subramaniam, who are chief plaintiffs in a lawsuit seeking to overturn Washington state's 1998 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
"As South Asian American lesbians, we recognize the importance of marriage equality for the Asian American community," said Nagarajan and Subramaniam of Trikone Northwest. "Marriage is not just about individuals, but also about parents, families, and community. When our marriage is legally recognized and no longer stigmatized by our government, we fulfill that family and community responsibility."

Mission Statement: The Asian Pacific American Coalition for Equality (APACE) recognizes the historical legacy of marriage discrimination in the United States and its profound impact on Asian Pacific American families. Through community education and coalition building, we seek to empower our APA communities to challenge this legacy and to confront present-day marriage discrimination against same-sex couples. In doing so, we want to affirm lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender members in our communities and acknowledge the enriching presence of their love and lives. (www.asianequality.org)
The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the political power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community from the ground up. We do this by training activists, organizing broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and by building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

Until Tuesday, his name was not a household utterance. After his decision to cancel a scheduled appearance on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" he has entered a heady world which guarantees more recognition than even he might desire.
Why, you ask, would Morrissey turn down the opportunity to drone his banality on a very popular nighttime show? Simply put, he could not "morally be on a television program where the cast members of 'Duck Dynasty' will also be guests." What possible reason could Morrissey have for not wanting to share the stage with the loveable Robertson clan?
"As far as my reputation is concerned, I can't take the risk of being on a show alongside people who, in effect, amount to animal serial killers," Morrissey said in a statement released to an adoring public. "If Jimmy cannot dump 'Duck Dynasty' then we must step away."
Not only did Morrissey step away, he stepped in it. The duck callers were not dumped. They appeared and Kimmel, using the wit which has moved him to prime time competition with Letterman and Leno, proceeded to dump on the singer.
"There's a very good reason why I didn't dump 'Duck Dynasty,'" the host explained. "It's because they have guns and Morrissey doesn't." Kimmel later commented that this is just another way Morrissey has "disappointed us."
Awww. Isn't it grand that a meat hater can get right to the meat of the matter when giving us an insight into the thinking of a radical vegan. As I said earlier, I've not known a true vegan but I have been around vegetarians. They're as different as tofu and hamburger. Vegetarians forgive us for our meaty sins; vegans behold us in scorn and hold us in contempt.
These Robertson guys simply go about their business of living like 99.9 percent of us rednecks. They love their family, love their work and genuinely love their duck hunting. It's a meaty proposition when an average musician slaps the serial killer tag on your average sportsman. I love the duck hunt and the challenge. I love the way the unfortunate slow flyers taste in The Fabulous One's super gumbo.
What I don't love is the superior attitude some in the entertainment community display at every opportunity. I'm quite sure Morrissey scored lots of points with the activist crowd, not just vegans. Maybe his heroic stance will convince "actor" Daryl Hannah to climb a tree in his yard and turn the ground below into a toxic waste dump.
Now here's what would really be cool: Morrissey's singling out of the Duckers inspires some PETA types to travel to West Monroe, sneak onto the Robertson property and chain themselves to a duck blind. Wonder how Miss Kay would prepare PETA pie?
A peeve if you please
I am growing more than a little tired of some words in the American language. Here's a sample conversation overheard more times than your humble observer can count. After reading, you tell me which words give me a headache.
"Like, I called him and he goes, 'what?' and I go 'like, you know, you actually called me first' and he goes 'like when?' and I go 'like, you know, um, actually yesterday,' and like, he didn't like remember actually like calling, you know."
Like, you know, actually it's probably just me getting old and cranky. Forgive me for, like, you know, hoping to actually understand what's happening to the art of intelligent conversation. Like, you know, when Congress speaks.

Paul Gascoigne
- Born: 27/05/1967
- Birthplace: Newcastle Upon Tyne
- Nationality: English
- Debut: 19/08/2000 v Leeds (A)
Gazza was probably the most gifted English footballer of his generation. From glorious highs such as scoring against Scotland during Euro 96, to tears in the 1990 World Cup after his semi-final booking, Gazza was a player of extremes.
Unfortunately he lost some of the best years of his career to injury. In the final of the 1991 FA Cup final, a rash tackle by Gascoigne on Gary Charles resulted in torn cruciate ligaments.
After a lengthy spell on the sidelines Gazza moved to Lazio, but once again injury prevented him from realising his full potential. He returned to Rangers, where he was named Scottish Footballer of the Year, and went on to play for Middlesbrough and Everton in the Premiership, before a loan spell at Burnley.
Deciding to go overseas again, he joined Chinese second division outfit Gansu Tianma, but struggled to settle in Lanzhou - said to be one of the most polluted cities in the world - and soon returned home.
His gregarious demeanour and expressive playing style masked off-the-field drama. A short-lived stint as a pundit on British television was ended when he became player-coach with League Two side Boston United, a position he left in October 2004 in search of a full-time management role.
He duly took over the reins at Kettering Town, but soon left after a row with business partner and club chairman Imran Ladak.
Problems with alochol and mental health continue to surround his life.

Elena Dementieva: Star Sportswoman
Published December 19, 2010 12:00
ST. PETERSBURG, FL, USA - When Elena Dementieva retired from tennis in an on-court ceremony on October 29, she was surrounded by her fellow players and everyone had positive, kind words to say about the talented Russian. Later, the women of the WTA took it one step further with their end-of-season awards, giving Dementieva the Karen Krantzcke Sportsmanship Award for 2010.
Dementieva is now a two-time winner of the accolade, which is voted on by the players and awarded for conduct, attitude, and sense of fair play. She also got it in 2008. Kim Clijsters has the most with seven (including 2009).
Implemented in 1978, the award honors Australian player Karen Krantzcke, who passed away from a heart attack a year earlier at the age of 31. A former Top 10 player, Krantzcke reached the semifinals of the Australian Open and Roland Garros and helped her country to Fed Cup victory in 1970. Alongside Kerry Melville Reid, she also won the Aussie Open doubles in 1968.
The response to Dementieva's retirement is indicative of how deserving she is of the honor and how much she is respected as a competitor and a person. As she declared her decision to depart tennis after her final match at the WTA Championships in Doha, the other players at the tournament joined her on court to celebrate her fantastic career. Then, in video messages recorded afterwards, the WTA's top players shared their thoughts, memories and well wishes with the 2008 Beijing Olympics gold medalist and new 29-year-old retiree.
Fellow Russian Vera Zvonareva remarked about how important Dementieva, winner of 16 career titles, was to the sports community in their home country: "You've made such a huge contribution, not just to tennis but to sports in Russia in general. We will indeed miss you more than you know. I want to wish you luck in the second chapter of your life and I hope everything goes well in the future. You will always be remembered as an amazing player, as an amazing champion and most importantly, an amazing person."
Both Victoria Azarenka and Kim Clijsters talked about how much they enjoyed working with her: "Thank you so much for everything you've done for our sport and for us," Azarenka said. "You were an amazing person to train with and to talk to and a nice person with whom it was always a privilege to be around."
"It has been a real pleasure having been on the tour with you for so many years," Clijsters said. "I think we go way back already from juniors, having played against each other all over the world and in different places. Having our careers grow up together was always fun, challenging and motivating."
Caroline Wozniacki remembers watching Dementieva play as a child. "You've been a fantastic role model, also for me growing up and seeing you on TV. On and off the court, you've been so professional, such a nice girl, it's always nice to see your smile. I just want to wish you the best of luck in the future."
The Karen Krantzcke Sportsmanship Award may be the last one Dementieva will win as a player on the tour, but if it is any indication, she is sure to succeed just as greatly in the next chapter of her life as well.

Don't use stocks as an inflation hedge
There are far better ways to protect yourself, and although not all of them are good bargains, it pays to branch into different asset classes.
By Howard Gold, MoneyShow.com
You've heard it so often you can probably repeat it in your sleep: Equities are the best protection against inflation.
Financial planners say it. Money managers say it. Pundits and gurus say it. Without a nice chunk of equities in our portfolio, we are told, inflation will ravage our net worth, and we may not have anything left for our very old age.
That's why some experts have even recommended that retirees or near-retirees hold 60% or more of their assets in stocks -- terrible advice, and it destroyed many people's finances and peace of mind during the crash a couple of years ago.
The market has come back since then -- without the participation of those who sold at the bottom in despair -- so maybe some advisors believe it was sound thinking after all.
But academic research, old and new, completely flies in the face of this conventional "wisdom." It establishes clearly that stocks are not a very good hedge at all against inflation, particularly high inflation. Even "Stocks for the Long Run" author Jeremy Siegel acknowledges that.
"Historically, that's been the case," said John Tatom, a finance professor at Indiana State University. "I claim that's one of the most well-established tenets in financial economics."
Tatom wrote in a 2011 paper that there is a strong negative correlation between inflation and real and nominal stock prices. "Contrary to opinion, equities are not a good hedge against inflation," he adds.
New research by three noted experts on asset prices confirms this. Elroy Dimson, Paul Marsh, and Mike Staunton of the London Business School have one of the world's deepest databases on the performance of stocks, bonds, bills and currencies, as well as inflation. It covers 19 different markets and goes all the way back to 1900.
In an article in the 2012 Credit Suisse Global Investment Returns yearbook, analysts found that during periods of marked inflation, equities easily outperform bonds, which are probably the worst investment to own during inflationary episodes. Yet equities gave a real return of -12% during those periods, while bonds lost 23.2%. Double ouch.
When inflation has been moderate and stable, equities have performed relatively well, the three professors concluded. "When there has been a leap in inflation, equities have performed less well in real terms. These sharp jumps in inflation are dangerous for investors."
Their conclusion? "High inflation reduces equity values."
So why have so many experts embraced equities as an inflation hedge? Because they're confusing the large total returns investors may have earned from equities over long periods of time with an actual "hedge" against inflation.
Because of their greater risk, equities tend to produce bigger rewards over the long run -- say, 20 years or more.
But that's not quite in the bag, either.
Exhibit A: the lost decade. The average annual total return for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) from 1999 to 2011 was -0.4%. So, we're going to need a hell of a good next eight years to reach the S&P's long-term averages of just under 10% a year in this 20-year period. Dow 36,000 anyone?
Of course, if you invested in certain types of stocks -- small-cap value, real estate investment trusts, and emerging markets -- you would have done well. But who knew that in 1999?
And when it comes to inflation, even the esteemed Siegel of The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania hedges his bets, so to speak.
"Over 30-year periods, the return on stocks after inflation is virtually unaffected by the inflation rate," he wrote in Kiplinger's last year. "Although stocks do well when annual inflation is in the range of 2% to 5%, their performance begins to falter when inflation exceeds 5%."
Why? Because "companies can't always pass along increased costs, especially in the case of an important raw material, such as oil," he wrote. "As a result, many companies will see their profits squeezed."
Siegel's conclusion: "Stocks are not good short-term hedges against rapidly increasing inflation, but bonds are worse."
So, what does that mean? If you own a lot of stock because you want to protect your portfolio against inflation, you probably should sell some.
For instance, if you're five to 10 years from retirement and you have 50% to 60% of your assets in stocks, you should reduce those holdings to 40 to 50% of your portfolio.
And if you're worried about inflation, you should take some of that money -- and sell some of your bond holdings, too -- to buy some asset classes that have better track records as inflation hedges. (Read Howard's take on why cash isn't trash.)
Such as? "In periods of high and increasing inflation, gold and commodities are definitely something you want in your portfolio," said Mark Johannessen, managing director of Harris SBSB in McLean, Va., and former president of the Financial Planning Association.
Dimson, Marsh, and Staunton's research backs him up. "Gold has on average been resistant to the impact of inflation," they write, but investments in gold often see volatile price fluctuations. In fact, they add, there have been long periods when the gold investor was underwater in real terms.
Not for the last decade, of course, when gold rose more than sevenfold before stalling below $1,900 per ounce. But the researchers are talking about the very long run.
Another good hedge: housing. Don't everyone all groan at once. According to Dimson, Marsh, and Staunton, real house-price changes seem relatively insensitive to inflation. "Housing has provided a long-term capital appreciation that is similar in magnitude to gold," they add.
Unfortunately, U.S. housing has produced the weakest returns of major markets over the last century, so if you'd like to hedge against inflation with your home, pack up and move to Australia. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) may be a decent substitute, but there aren't as much data on their performance over many, many years -- and they've had a big run.
Finally, there are TIPs (Treasury inflation-protected securities), the inflation-linked bonds issued by the U.S. and other governments. Smart people like David Swensen, Yale's chief investment officer, recommend them for individual investors as good protection against inflation. But they're very expensive now.
So, what should you do? I'd take some profits in your stock and bond holdings and buy small positions (maybe 5% of your portfolio each) in gold, commodities, REITs, and TIPs ETFs, preferably when they've sold off a bit, too.
Then, I'd keep 40% to 50% in stocks, 20% to 30% in bonds, and another 10% in cash. That way, you'll have some protection against inflation, deflation, and just normal life.
And if your financial advisor tells you to buy more stock to keep from outliving your money, tell him or her that in the long run, we're all dead.

Stocks have always been an excellent Hedge against inflation. It is true that infaltion is not a friend of stocks, but stocks have been a PROVEN hedge against inflation. They have out performed inflation and that bit above the rate of inflation is their real return on investment.
Besides where else can you invest cash to avoid inflation? I can think of a only a few places, Specie, Foreign currencies and stocks. Real Estate, now in a corrective phase, was far over valued. This over valuation caused by government policies.
I will stick with my inflation hedges. The Fed plans continued massive devaluation of the dollar...
Sell your Treasuries BEFORE it's haircut time in the USA...
Wait a minute! You berate financial planners and investment advisors ("terrible advice") for recommending their clients hold 60% in stocks in their retirement portfolios, and then you conclude with a recommendation to hold 40% to 50%! Then you recommend 5% in gold and 5% in commodities? Have you looked at he standard deviation on those assets, even if they do "hedge" inflation to some degree? Talk about the possibility of ruining your "peace of mind", or your ability to sleep better at night.
We all have something called "recency bias" which causes us to take action based on what has recently happened to us, discounting the probability of future events (i.e. the focus on the "lost decade" of S&P 500 index returns). I advice clients, on a fee-only basis, for a living. I live and work in the real world, not an ideal one where results are crunched out on a spread sheet in hindsight and the thing that you "should have done" can be seen quite clearly. We constantly battle our client's two biggest motivating emotions that lead to "bad" financial planning behavior - fear and greed (driven primarily, in my opinion, by video and print media's constant barrage of "what should I buy now" stories).
My advice - start with your goal or objective ("what am I trying to achieve?"); determine how much volatility you are willing to bear; based on these two inputs come up with a long-term investment allocation and measure the projected return and volatility (projected standard deviation) to make sure you can "live" with both of them - if not, make adjustments; align your investment portfolio with your new allocation evenly over some period of time (weekly, monthly, quarterly); rebalance your portfolio quarterly...no matter what...back to the allocation strategy; potentially adjust the allocation/volatility as you approach the goal or you understand your tolerance for volatility better; ignore the short-term (and the media, who don't know you and have no stake in the consequences to your actions) and stay focused on the long-term.

Children in Eastern North Carolina won't have to go far anymore to get the medical care they need.
Vidant Health employees, Governor Pat McCrory and pediatric patients cut the ribbon today on the new "James and Connie Maynard Children's Hospital" at Vidant Medical Center.
The 48-million-dollar project will officially welcome patients Wednesday, bringing an end to two years of construction.
It's the only children's hospital in Eastern North Carolina.
"People in Eastern North Carolina now have a choice to stay here for all their medical care. They won't have to travel to the west part of the state, or even across state lines," said Dr. Ronald Perkin, Co-Medical Director of the hospital.
"Medical health, especially in the rural area of eastern North Carolina is crucial. It's crucial to make sure that we have quality care. It's crucial that we have efficient care. And it's crucial that we also hold down our cost. So building this hospital and trying to prevent sickness, long term sickness, is one of our goals. Because that's better for the children and it's also better for the taxpayers of North Carolina," said the Governor.
There will be an open house for the public from 2-4pm Sunday.

A hiker was rescued Saturday after he says he fell into a tunnel, splinted his broken leg and crawled out four days later.
The 33-year-old man and a friend were hiking in the foothills on the east side of Salt Lake City when they parted ways, said Utah Highway Patrol Agent Mary Kaye Lucas. While on his own, the man fell into a tunnel near the mouth of Parleys Canyon, where northbound Interstate 215 and westbound Interstate 80 meet.

The fall broke the man's lower leg, leaving part of the bone sticking out. He splinted his leg with some wood and his jacket, then tried shouting for help from inside the tunnel. He could not phone for help because his cell had died shortly before he fell in, Lucas said.
By Saturday afternoon no help had come, and the man crawled out on his own, which took about two hours.
The tunnel opens out to the junction of I-215 and I-80. A passing driver called 911 shortly before 5 p.m., after spotting the man on the side of the highway.
The man told emergency responders he had been in the tunnel for four days. He was taken in an ambulance to St. Mark's Hospital. Lucas said the man was in bad shape but was expected to be all right.

ALBANY, N.Y. – An Albany Common Council meeting was held Tuesday night to address concerns abut the public training of police.
The meeting was in response to an incident which took place in March 2013 where police used Ida Yarbrough to do tactical training without notifying residents.
Some parents in the area even say the military style operation, with police suited up in tactical gear, was traumatizing for their children to watch. Police Chief Steven Krokoff apologized
immediately afterwards, but the residents have been determined to see it
doesn't happen again.
Shortly following the incident, residents started a petition on change.org, hoping to ban tactical training in public housing nationwide.
Residents in Albany's Ida
Yarbrough Apartments liked what they heard at the city council meeting.
Chief Krokoff told them he's putting a policy in place concerning training in
neighborhoods. Until then, unannounced SWAT
team training, like one back in March, has been cancelled.
Part of the new policy
will require the chief's approval before there is any training in

According to Attorney General Beau Biden's office, the defense team requested the postponement. The judge accepted the request and pushed the trial back to October 14th.
Morse stands accused of waterboarding his 11-year-old step-daughter and faces four counts of felony reckless endangering, one count of misdemeanor third degree assault and five counts of misdemeanor endangering the welfare of a child.
The doctor's wife, Pauline Morse pleaded guilty to child endangerment back in May for her involvement in the crime.

Gallows are an English hardcore punk band from Watford, England. The band was formed in 2005 after the disbandment of founding member Laurent Barnard's previous band, My Dad Joe. Gallows' debut album, Orchestra of Wolves, was distributed in the United States by Epitaph Records, and they were subsequently signed to Warner Bros. Records for a £1 million album contract with up to three options, a deal they were dropped from after one album, Grey Britain. The band has been particularly successful in their native country, with three songs charting on the UK Single Charts, and have been featured in magazines such as Kerrang!, Alternative Press and Rolling Stone.
