To form a partnership between the myriad of childcare, preschool and social service facilities that are available throughout the community and the public school sector.
Excellent early childhood education reflects a comprehensive vision of support for optimal development and learning of every young child. This vision encompasses teaching practices, relationships with parents and connections with community agencies. While early education is part of a continuum that extends throughout the school years, the distinctive characteristics of young learners and their need for developmentally appropriate practices require special attention. Early childhood education should be founded on an amalgam of the best theory, research and practice available.
The Paterson Public School District and the Paterson Board of Education have the expectation that all preschoolers who attend our program for two years and are developmentally ready, will have the necessary skills to read age-appropriate books. We firmly believe that preschool children can learn to read in a way that is developmentally and culturally appropriate if they are presented with the necessary supports.
Early Childhood publishes Volume 1, issue 1 of Healthy Futures
The March 2011 issue of our newsletter, Healthy Futures contains valuable information for all Paterson Public School families and, indeed, anyone interested in learning about the many good things happening in the Paterson Public Schools Department of Early Childhood Education. You can read the current newsletter here: English Español
Free Preschool for Paterson Children
Studies show that children who attend preschool have a long-lasting advantage in school. If you are a parent or guardian of a Paterson boy or girl who is 3 or 4 years old, they are entitled to a full day of preschool instruction at no charge. Registration should take place at the preschool center of your choice. Click on the appropriate language link for more information in: English or Español or call 973-321-2274. There is also a helpful video available in English or Español.
Project Child Find
If your preschool child, age 3-5, is experiencing physical, social, emotional, communication, cognitive, or sensory difficulties please contact the Department of Early Childhood at (973)321-0431 or (973)321-2216. If eligible, an educational program will be provided at no charge through Paterson Public Schools. For children ages 6-21 please contact the Department of Pupil Personnel Services at (973)321-2365.
The Early Childhood Education Collaborative
The Paterson Public Schools district is committed to providing the children in Paterson with the highest quality and most comprehensive early childhood educational experiences. The Early Childhood Collaborative partnership seeks to expand and improve educational opportunities and services for children and their families. The initiative is committed to creating a well-coordinated, citywide Early Childhood Education Program for young children and their families.

I don't need no one to tell me about Heaven.I look at my daughter, and I believe.I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truthI can see the sunset, and I perceive. — "Heaven," Live
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will.— Romans 12:2 (NIV)

Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith.— Saint Francis of Assisi

I thank you for being willing to serve,
And give the bad guys what they deserve.
I thank you for being available day or night,
To go where needed and continue the fight.
I thank you for bearing discomfort and pain,
So liberty and freedom our country may gain.
I thank you for your willingness to leave children, husband or wife,
And for being willing, if needed, to lay down your life.
I thank you for standing with silent strength,
While the ungrateful ridicule you at length.
For being willing to continue in spite of their hate,
For not visiting upon them their much deserved fate.
You are a soldier, an American, brave and true.
You are my hero, and I thank you.

Injury collision on Open Fork Road in Rowan County
Date of News Release: 03/15/2011
(Morehead, Ky.) -- On March 15, 2011 at 1840 hours, Kentucky State Police Post 8 Morehead, was notified by Rowan County Dispatch, of a single vehicle injury accident at approximately 1595 Open Fork Road, in Morehead, Kentucky. Trooper David Zimmerman responded to the scene. Tina Walton of Hillsboro, Kentucky was operating a silver 1998 Ford Taurus eastbound on Open Fork. Ms. Walton left the roadway and struck a tree. The resulting damage from the collision deployed the air bags, and entrapped Ms. Walton. Members of the Rowan County Fire and Emergency Medical Services used the jaws of life to remove her from the vehicle. Ms. Walton was transported to Saint Claire Medical Center, and ultimately transported by Rowan County Emergency Service to the University of Kentucky Medical Center for treatment. Alcohol is not believed to be a factor. The accident remains under investigation by Trooper David Zimmerman.

Label Url: UKEM Records
MASOCHIST'S New Release
About Masochist
Masochist is a 4 piece band hailing from West Yorkshire, United Kingdom. The band carefully balances different styles of death metal, from the clinical precision of American Death Metal, to the grit and groove of Swedish Death Metal. A liberal smattering of Grindcore is added to the proceedings, peppering the sound with a voracious vehemence.
Having already released the bands extremely successful debut e.p 'The Extent Of Human Error' (November 2012), UKEM Records were sent five new tracks to listen to. One listen and the excellent working relationship between band and label was re-kindled and a deal was arranged to release the bands follow up e.p 'Condemned To Grovel' (August 2014). Recorded with Chris Fielding at the legendary Skyhammer Studio (Napalm Death, Cerebral Bore, Winterfyllth etc), this new e.p shows an absolutely massive improvement in the bands song writing skills, prosecution and development. Having worked with the bad previously Label manager Chris Newby is quoted as saying "As soon as I pressed play and heard the new songs I was blown away at just how much the band had improved and matured. There is a real step up in both their song-writing and production level. Getting the band back under the UKEM roster was an extremely easy decision to make once I'd finished listening to the new material"

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Lakers have signed free agent guard Jordan Farmar, who returns to the team that drafted him in 2006 and that he helped win back-to-back NBA titles.
Farmar played last season in Turkey, where he averaged 13.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists for Anadolu Efes Istanbul in the Euroleague.
Farmer spent his first four NBA seasons with the Lakers, averaging 6.9 points and 2.1 assists during 301 career games. He was part of their 2009 and 2010 NBA title teams. He was taken as the 26th overall pick out of UCLA.
Farmer, a Los Angeles native, played two seasons with the now-Brooklyn Nets after leaving the Lakers.
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.
1. Andrew Wiggins - Cavaliers
8. Nik Stauskas - Kings
18. Tyler Ennis - Suns
45. Dwight Powell - Hornets

You're clearly at sea about the Bible. I hardly expected from you such an asinine review.
God Almighty personally revealed His Word to prophets in pre-historical times.
We know nothing about Him that wasn't directly revealed. It was no "perception." All that the prophets relayed to mankind was absolutely true then --It remains true to the final day of the world.
The fly-speck of your unbelief is insignificant. My faith is fortified by belief in Christ His Son; I don't worship the Bible.
Men and women marry. Jesus told us; "What God has joined together let no man put asunder." Two males are not joined together by God; nor are two women. Homosexuals CAN'T marry.
If I am wrong about this, I have lost nothing and have only tried to be a better person than I would be left to my own inclinations.
And how do we know this? Cause the very same book says so. Circular fallacy.
If the Bible is "a radically pro-slavery document" (Dan Savage), how is it that Christians who successfully fought for the abolition of slavery in the 18th and 19th centuries based their opposition to slavery on that very same Bible? The answer is simple: The Bible is actually not "a radically pro-slavery document."
According to Savage (following atheist Sam Harris), "the Bible got the easiest moral question that humanity has ever faced wrong. Slavery! What're the odds that the Bible got something as complicated as human sexuality wrong? 100% percent."
To be candid, it's easy to see where Savage and Harris are...

Hassle-Free Wheels And TiresWhen it comes to late-model cars, shopping (and buying) performance wheels and tires is soooooo much easier than it used to be, thanks to companies such as the Tire Rack. Log on to www.tirerack.com, follow the menus to tell them what kind of car you have, then start daydreaming about what style of wheel looks best on your ride. You can even see what they look like on your car, in your color. Call me a traditionalist, but I felt the only wheel that would go perfectly with the Magnum's retro, muscle wagon look would be the classic American Racing Torq-Thrust. While I'm not a fan of dubs, the boring stock wheels that came with the car are already 18s and the wheel openings are pretty huge, so this one time I allowed myself to get a set of 20-inch wheels. The anthracite finish on the spokes seemed to be a good fit with the dark-red metallic paint, so that's what I ordered, along with a set of Kumho Ecsta RSX 245/45-20 hoops.A few days later, the wheels arrived with the tires already mounted, balanced, and aired up-and with 20 lug nuts to match. All I had to do was jack the car up and install them. Buying wheels and tires has never been more hassle-free, and I highly recommend doing it the Tire Rack way. The only downside is that the company focuses mostly on late-model cars. While the Tire Rack does have charts and applications for older muscle cars, selections are pretty limited, and the company isn't set up to deal with the custom backspacing, widths, and so on that modified muscle cars usually require.

Recent days demonstrate that Senate bottleneck is McConnell's fault.
I know this is starting to look like "Mitch McConnell Day," but this observation from Politico's David Rogers was too good to pass up.
Thursday's Senate vote to move ahead with gun control legislation marked the fifth time in just two months that Democrats have won a procedural showdown by peeling off Republicans at the expense of Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.)
The 68—31 roll call was more than enough to meet the 60-vote requirement to invoke cloture, with 16 Republicans providing the winning margin. This fits a pattern seen increasingly since mid-February: McConnell steadfast in opposition even as his rank-and-file cross the aisle, raising fragile hopes of a bipartisan revival.
The GOP leader remains powerful and smart. But by taking himself out of the legislative game, he is also ceding power to a new set of Republicans wanting to fill the vacuum.
In other words, while Mitch's is off playing "cover your butt" against Tea Partiers with their eyes on nutcase purity and the Kentucky GOP primary, the Senate has actually managed to get some work done. Remove Mitch McConnell from the equation and the Senate actually works — it's not firing on all cylinders by any means, but it's limping along much better than it does when the Senate minority leader's running the show.
There may not be just one person to blame for gridlock in DC, but there is one man who's name is stenciled on obstructionism in the Senate: Mitch McConnell.

Engineer's Report: Dusten Rolando, County Engineer, provided his time sheet and foreman's minutes. Crews are limiting blading roads because it is so dry. Crews are also mowing ditches. The PC patching on Underwood is underway, with concentration on the closed section at this time. Don's Truck Service is working on the new sign truck. Staff is working on right of way for bridge work on Holly Ave which is scheduled for construction next summer. Pavement markings work across the county is almost done. A preconstruction meeting with Traxler for the subdrain work on Dancer Ave is underway; they hope to get the work done in a week. Traxler will also work on the ethanol plant road. Rolando will check the urban renewal map for other road projects to spend the bond proceeds. Crews did a day labor box culver project on Victory Ave north of B22 and are now on 260th St which is a day labor project where our crews are doing substructure project before PCI comes in to finish work this fall. Dusty is waiting on the box culvert for a project requested by Larry Muff; the culvert will be replaced to its original size. Rolando has talked to Muff about permits for a culvert near this project; Muff mentioned willingness to donate 15 feet of ground to widen the ditch. Crews have been putting up signs for railroad projects. Supv Kuhn suggested Rolando look at the railroad area near Packard Ave, east of Roger Mulcahy's property.
Rolando reported that work on Drainage District #1 has been completed. The Board will need to levy for the repairs and set an interest rate for warrants and assessments at a future meeting. Rolando also has a bill for Drainage District #12 for his staff assisting I&S to locate tile; since this is part of the project it will be assessed upon completion of the drainage project.
The Board recessed until 10:30 a.m.
Nick Roethler and Kent Rode provided an official Project Manual for Tile Repairs for Drainage District #12 and informed the Board of specifications for the project. Kamm/Schwickerath moved to accept and approve the Tile Repairs, Drainage District #12, Project No 116481 and set a bid letting date on Monday, September 16 at 10 a.m. Motion carried 3-0. The Board also intends to appoint the Commission to reclassify DD#12 at that time as well as DD #9.
The Board recessed until 11 a.m.
Bob Amosson, Phil Dougherty, and Jay Urdahl, Cerro Gordo County Board of Supervisors, and the Floyd County Board of Supervisors held a joint discussion regarding drainage district #6 (Floyd) and #56 (Cerro Gordo) County tile assessment. Kent Rode and Nick Roethler, I&S Engineers, and six members of the public also attended the meeting. Rode reported on the history of the two mains and laterals in the district which was constructed in 1920. Today's focus is on problems in Main #1 on the Fett property. A reclassification was done in 1931. In 1976 relief trenches were dug and some cracked tiles were replaced. In 1995 repairs were done at the underpass. The latest study of the property shows the tile is in poor condition with numerous blowouts, trees over the tiles, and rock in areas all contributing to current water problems. The drains are currently Ľ inch coefficient which means a Ľ inch of rain will drain in 24 hours. From I&S's preliminary investigation the following options were provided: 1) Repair only by replacing tile from the ditch outlet to West Drive, clean out ditches, remove trees, including jacking and boring new tile by the railroad; 2) Improvements include improving a surface drain to an open ditch either to the railroad property and possibly continuing improvements from the Fett property to West Drive; 3) A least favorite option would be to replace the tile with an open ditch including a new box culvert which would be delayed due to the railroad process, coring for test pits and federal and state permitting requirements. Rode mentioned that in a recent court case in Sac County ruled in favor of railroads deeming they are not responsible for costs of tile crossing property but are responsible for costs of a culvert. I&S also proposes annexing property into the district and a reclassification. Bill Fett, property owner, commented that the property has major issues with surface drain and the main tile is actually very close if not on the surface and suggested an open area to the box culvert to handle the surface water and tile water. Fett mentioned that he reported to the railroad about the culvert starting to cave. Rode said an open ditch would include wetland determinations and applications to Corp of Engineers and the DNR. The Boards requested I&S to provide tile cost estimates with an open ditch and surface drain in a report form to present to property owners and conduct a hearing later this year after receiving those reports. Criss Miller, property owner, brought up drain concerns on Main 2 which Cerro Gordo County will look in to.
Kamm/Schwickerath motioned to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried 3-0.

The Power of Friendship
Cecil Phillips didn't go to the University of Georgia, but the Atlanta businessman knows a wise investment when he sees one.
By Kent Hannon
On July 16, at three in the afternoon, Atlanta businessman Cecil Phillips had an appointment on North Campus to discuss his $1 million gift to UGA that will create a chair in the name of his close friend and mentor, former Georgia governor George Busbee (BBA 49, LLB 52).
As we get older, it becomes increasingly difficult for anyone to impact our lives in a completely transforming waybut thats what George Busbee did for me, said Phillips, who was a globe-trotting legal expert and special assistant to Busbee when the governor opened an economic gateway to the Far East during his second term from 1979-83. I was at his side in Tokyo with the chairman of Nissan and in Beijing when he met with Deng Xiaoping at the Great Hall of the People. These trips, which were designed to attract foreign capital, convinced me there was something besides law that I was good at. And I have George Busbee to thank. He changed my life!
Phillips acquired so much business-related acumen during his four-year stint with Busbee that he left the Atlanta law firm of Alston & Bird, where he had made partner, to go into real estate and corporate finance. Today, as CEO of Place Properties, Phillips builds large, privately funded apartment buildings designed for college students. Calling his innovative complexes the future of student living, Phillips company currently serves 18 college communities, including seven in Georgia.
The question was, how should I express my thanks to Gov. Busbee? said Phillips, whose North Campus interview took place just a stones throw from Candler Hall, where the Busbee Chair will be located in UGAs School of Public and International Affairs. I was born in Fayette, Missouri. Im the product of public school teachers who taught me to love literature and history and to speak something other than rural English. But the bittersweet part is that they all passed awayMiss Murphy from sixth grade and Miss Kappler from eighthbefore I had a chance to say thank you.
Searching for a way to pay tribute to Busbee, Phillips remembered a three-hour dinner conversation that he and the governor had with Fred Davison at the UGA presidents home back in 1979. The discussion focused on the role education would play in creating a modern workforce for the influx of foreign capital and business headed Georgias way.
Remembering that evening . . . it hit me! said Phillips. I wanted to create a chair at UGA in Gov. Busbees name.
Ironicallyand tragicallyat almost the precise moment Phillips was explaining the genesis of the Busbee Chair, the former governor was suffering a fatal heart attack in Savannah.
He was coming home from a fishing holiday and he was complaining of chest pains when he landed at the Savannah Airport, Phillips would say a few days later. He was such a vibrant person, someone who had the ability to look over the horizon, a good and decent man whom people trusted.
Phillips and Busbees former chief of staff, Norman Underwood (ABJ 64, LLB 66), were asked to deliver eulogies. Speaking to a crowd of 900 at the Second-Ponce de Leon Baptist Church in Atlanta, Phillips said that Busbees international business efforts redefined what it means to be a successful governor in Georgiaa remarkable achievement given Busbees humble beginnings in south-central Georgia.
Think about it, said Phillips. From son of a mule trader to governor of Georgia in one lifetime.
Cecil Phillips is a UGA Foundation trustee. His daughter Lydia is a rising junior at UGA. And he is a fountain of information about higher education in general and, due to his tenure as a trustee, about UGA.
In 1979, when Busbee and Davison were discussing the role education would play in Georgias future, said Phillips, who could have predicted that the University of Georgia would one day have a Rhodes, Marshall, Goldwater, and Truman Scholar all in the same year? When that happened, only four schools in the country had accomplished itand the other three were Harvard, Yale, and Brown. Thats distinguished company. And now we have a MacArthur 'genius' fellow in the history department. Go figure!
While youre at it, go figure this:
Cecil Phillips, a million-dollar donor and unabashed UGA cheerleader, didnt go to school here. His bachelors degree in history is from Missouri. His law degree is from Michigan. And yet, the only gift of any consequence that he has made to a university has gone to his adopted alma mater in Athens.
I had no connection to the University, other than my daughter, and Gov. Busbee never made UGA one of his pet projects, said Phillips. I dont have a high profile in the giving community and Im younger than most people who give significant amounts of money away. Bottom line: I wasnt part of the normal calculus that development officers look to. But UGA is going to have to look increasingly at people like me who have come to Georgia by choice, who are educating their children here, and who have as much vested interest in UGAs success as anyone.
Phillips, whose gift helped UGA raise a then-record $72 million in 2003, is a shining example of the power of friendship. But hes just one of a number of non-alumni who provide financial support for UGA.
Were Georgians, so we want our flagship institution to be the best public research institution in the country! says Jane Willson, a Wellesley College graduate who runs Sunnyland Farms thriving mail-order pecan business in Albany along with her husband Harry, who has degrees from Harvard and Emory. The Willsons have supported UGA in a number of ways, including a professorship in humanities. We have good feelings toward the University, says Jane, and financial support is the way to make it great.
Having spent most of his life in Muh-ZURR-uh, Cecil Phillips wanted to see what the Southeast had to offer before finishing law school in Ann Arbor and beginning what he thought would be a career in Kansas City politics. Alston & Bird had offered him a job for the summer. He took it, fell in love with the firm and Atlanta, and decided to stay in the South for awhile.
Youll never come home, said his grandparents. And they were right.
When the government of Iraq issued public tender for frozen chicken and an American agricultural cooperative answered the call, the firm asked Phillips to fly to Baghdad and write the contract.
What I thought was going to be a one-shot, 20-page contract, said Phillips, eventually turned into a 185-page document translated into Arabic from page one to the end.
When Busbee was reelected governor in 1978, he called Alston & Bird and asked for Phillips.
Cecil, this is George Busbee. What are you doing?
Well . . . Im sitting in my office, said Phillips, trying to figure out which one of his colleagues was duping him by imitating the governors voice.
Can you come see me? said the person on the phone.
So Phillips made the 10-minute walk from his Five Points law firm to the governors officeand, lo and behold, when he got there George Busbee was, in fact, expecting him.
Look, said Busbee, getting straight to the point. I want you to come work with me. I hear you know your way around outside the three-mile limit, you have a passport, and I can pay you $26,000 a year for your services.
Now, $26,000 wasnt even a lot of money in 78, but the firm was happy to loan him to the governor and the two men hit it off from day one.
People today take Georgias growth for granted, said Phillips. But George Busbee is the man who made Atlanta and the state a player in the world of international business. Gov. Carter had worked on behalf of an existing customer, helping Lockheed sell small jets to Brazil, for example. But what Busbee did was create a structural realignment of the way Atlanta and Georgia did business. He laid the groundwork and it continues to bear fruit every day.
Its not hard to imagine Cecil Phillips holding public office. The man can deliver a fascinating history lesson on a Spanish governor who helped German U-boats avoid the British Navy in World War IIand he can do it in fluent Spanish, if you like. He can give a tutorial on the intricacies of international trade, and make it real with first-person anecdotes about Japanese auto workers on the assembly line. He can conduct a crash course on the essential tenets of construction management, provide an insiders view of how a big city law firm operatesand he does it all in the persona of a down-to-earth guy who could be sharing his expertise at a lectern in the Student Learning Center or from a bar stool at The Globe.
When development officers came to see me after I made this gift, said Phillips, I told them I would be very low maintenance. I dont even need to be taken to dinner. But I do take my daughter to dinner when Im in Athens. And I like to wander around campus. The Student Learning Center is so magnificent it makes me want to go back to school.
Phillips hopes his gift will encourage Georgians to support their flagship institution and the system as a whole.
These are tough times for post-secondary education, said Phillips. The level of state support for UGA has dropped to 35 percent. The national average is 34 percentand in Virginia and Michigan its a dime. A dime!
If youre the president of the University of Georgia, when you wake up on Jan. 2and your football team has won a bowl game the day beforeyou celebrate. But by noon, youve got a budget deficit to make up. And that trend is not going to reverse itself. This is a permanent paradigm shift toward universities having to increase the amount of their private fundingand their supporters are going to have to accept that challenge.

Crews are diligently working to complete the Margaritaville Casino and Resort in Bossier City on time. Amid the chaos of construction, the casino has started to take shape. Barry Regula, general manager of the casino, showed KSLA News 12 around the interior of the casino starting with the 900 seat event center located just off the main entrance.
"There will be balcony seating and a VIP section," said Regula. "The configuration will put you very close to the performer on the stage."
The massive open area alongside the event center will soon become the casino floor which will house 30,000 square feet of gaming machines and tables. The area itself is 42,000 square feet to allow for walkways and staging areas.
Surrounding the casino floor will be two restaurants and a buffet. The signature restaurant will be the Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville restaurant. The venue has a volcano that plays a role in the nightly activities.
"The stage is built to Jimmy Buffett's specifications because he's been known to pop up unexpectedly in his restaurants and get on stage and play. So he wants it built a certain way to accommodate him when he shows up."
Regula also showed KSLA News 12 a guest room and an exclusive look inside the presidential suite which sits on the top floor and is surrounded by window views.
"Essentially the presidential suite takes up the space of four regular rooms."
A space whose first guest will likely be the man behind the Margaritaville name, Mr. Jimmy Buffett himself.

Read financial expert Jean Chatzky's advice against creating holiday debt today — that's right, before you go out for those last-minute gift impulse buys!
Ah, the holidays…they bring food, friends, family, parties, and unfortunately, for a lot of people, they bring a great deal of debt. According to a recent study, 13.5 million adults are still paying off their holiday debt from last year. Take a look at my tips below for ways you can stop holiday debt before it starts and how you can manage the debt that's still saddling you from last year.
Stick to a budget. I've found that most Americans should only be spending 1.5% of their yearly take-home pay on holiday gifts. Why? From what I've seen, that's an amount that people can pay off before February. If you have no idea what you should be spending on gifts, take a look at my handy Holiday Budget Calculator. It will give you an idea of how much you should be using to fund your holiday shopping sprees.
Map out how many people you need to buy for and how much you can spend on each person. Once you have your list and your amounts, stick to them. That means if once you start shopping, if you go over the amount you've set for one person you're going to have to cut back on what you planned to spend on someone else.
Avoid retail therapy. If you're in a bad mood and think shopping is going to do the trick, avoid overspending by staying at home. Shop on a different day, and I guarantee both you and your bank account will be happier in the long run.
Pay it off ASAP. If you are still carrying holiday debt from last year, try to pay it off as soon as possible. Otherwise, your holiday splurges will end up costing you even more than you actually paid for them. For example, say you had a $1,000 credit card bill that you've been paying off at a rate of 20%. Those gifts are now costing you an extra $200.
Cash is king. When you're doing your holiday shopping, try to pay with cash or your debit card, whenever possible. It's no secret that interest rates are rising and as I've mentioned before, they can make your holiday gifts significantly more expensive than they already are.
Are you sticking to a holiday budget this year? Any tips to share?
Holiday Gift Ideas That Won't Break the Bank From Jean Chatzky
Depressed About Money This Holiday
I avoided shopping when other people are in frenzy mode. There is a vibe, similar to Auction Fever, that goes on in crowded shopping arenas. You can begin to feel that if you do not buy what is popular, or what is the "hottest deal" that you do not belong; you will have nothing in common with everyone else. I prefer not to have massive debt in common with those people. I did cave and did some online shopping after Thanksgiving (not Black Friday) but used only the gift cards credits I received from doing small, fun tasks online, and purchased an item we actually needed and will use.

Rosemont, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Cleveland Melvin registered a double-double with 23 points and 13 rebounds as the DePaul Blue Demons rallied back after halftime for a 81-72 victory over the Wright State Raiders in a game that served as part of the CBE Hall of Fame Classic at Allstate Arena.
Brandon Young contributed 14 points and four assists for DePaul (2-1) while Tommy Hamilton tallied 13 points on 4-od-6 shooting from the floor. Billy Garrett gave the Blue Demons a lift off the bench with 12 points and two steals in 22 minutes of action.
Wright State (1-2) lost its second game in a row despite four Raiders scoring in double-figures. J.T. Yoho paced the Raiders with 13 points while A.J. Pacher and Matt Vest both went a combined 8-of-10 from the floor to net 11 points apiece. Jerran Young led Wright State's second unit with 10 points, but he was also guilty of four of the team's 19 turnovers.
The Raiders took a 35-33 lead into the intermission after they shot 44.4 percent from the floor and knocked down 4-of-8 from beyond the arc in the opening 20 minutes. Although DePaul converted 50 percent of its field goal attempts in the first half, it trailed at the break as it attempted nine less shots from the floor.
Wright State managed to extend its lead to as many as nine in the early stages of the second period, but the Blue Demons heated up to connect on 57.7 percent of their field goal attempts and 17-of-22 tries at the free-throw line after halftime. DePaul closed out the game on a 20-4 run to earn the nine-point decision.
The hosts enjoyed a 34-19 edge in the rebounding battle.

The Canyon Nerve CF 8.0 with 26 inch wheels was the hands-down test winner in its category. The excellent equipment impresses just as much as the extremely lightweight carbon frame, which weighs in at a mere 2345g. In addition the lightweight wheels and the competitive rider position make the Nerve a real rocket.
The rear triangle is sporty and firm as well as drive-train neutral, yet out on the trail the rear triangle reliably absorbs the bumps and the entire range of travel is used to cope with the most intense shocks. The bike boasts superb uphill and downhill characteristics as well as top parts such as Ergon grips and vario seat post. These all make the lightweight Nerve extremely diverse, making the bike suitable for anything ranging from marathon to alpine cross.
Verdict: The versatile Nerve CF 8.0 impresses with a lightweight carbon frame, well thought out equipment and an efficient suspension.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I disagree with "Nobody likes to hop into a random heroic and discover that he's in there with a mage who's wheezing out 800 DPS. Don't be that guy."
In my experience, nobody notices or nobody cares. Maybe you might get kicked once, although it's not yet happened to me - I assume that you'd more likely be kicked if you were playing sloppily rather than just having low DPS. If you keep out of the fire and keep up with the group, you'll be in and out of dungeons with gold and glory before anyone even checks the DPS meter.
My steps for when my alts (mage or otherwise) have reached 80:
- Keep questing through Icecrown / Storm Peaks while you wait on groups. You're not gearing up or earning gold standing in Dalaran.
- Join random normals until in mostly 174-187 items (although a couple pieces of lower ilvl won't matter).
- Once you're in 187-ish gear, join normal Forge of Souls / Pit of Saron / Halls of Reflection over and over until you've filled in a couple of choice 219 pieces. This should bring your GearScore up a bit.
- When you're over 3200 GS (at least, that's my marker), join everyone else in running Heroics for badges towards your tier set. You'll fill in gear gaps with the ilvl 200 drops along the way.
Additional tips:
- Don't spend money on profession items, they won't last you longer than a few dungeon runs anyway. In fact, don't spend money at all.
- Don't stress over reputation items, although do have the sense to put on a tabard that will help you reach some goals should you happen to be unlucky in drops.
- Get AtlasLoot as an addon, and create yourself a wishlist of dungeon drops (esp normal ICC dungeons, since you can chain-run those without lockouts).
This is how I geared my characters:
Tidal (Mage) - http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Thorium+Brotherhood&cn=Tidal
Wyght (Holy Priest) - http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Thorium+Brotherhood&cn=Wyght
Grudge (Death Knight) - http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Thorium+Brotherhood&cn=Grudge
I've been running the daily heroics with my 5,7k GS shaman just for the frost emblems. I have yet to see someone being kicked over low DPS. I don't even feel it's a drag to have them, most runs we have someone who's there for the same reason as me, being greatly overgeared and doing like 5-6k DPS. This is what you used to get out of a decent heroic group at the beginning of the expansion. The runs are still quick, and with tanks and healers overgearing there are rarely if ever any issues (might be that I'm an overgeared healer though).
The ingame mail you get when you get your pet pug goes something like "...and hopefully showed a new player a trick or two...". This is what the daily heroics was intended for - geared players giving new players a quick start - a shortcut to the endgame.
Let's not shame the new players out of this intended possibility.
I've not gotten kicked, but I've gotten complaints. Fresh 80 Arms warrior, get into my first heroic, and only pull 1300 DPS, which is really annoying when five levels earlier I was getting 1500 in Drak'Tharon Keep. Of course, if they'd looked at their damage meter before the final boss died, they may have tried.
A little research, some quality time with a test dummy, and a spec tweak and I was bouncing anywhere from 1500 to 3000 DPS depending on the encounter.
Fortunately, as an Arcane Mage (assuming proper rotation, talent spec, decent gearing decisions, and careful use of mana), it's really really easy to crack 800 DPS, especially on bosses. Using heirloom gear and dungeon blues/greens, I did 2K+ DPS on bosses by the mid-70s, and as a fresh 80, I could pull off 3K on bosses consistently before getting any gear from 80 dungeons. Arcane is pretty much ideal for a fresh 80 because of its perks:
Low hit rating: Arcane can double-dip from Arcane and Frost talents for 6% total hit chance before gear. Add into that the Grand Staff of Jordan I'd been leveling with (2.59%), and one or two other armor pieces with hit, and while you're not raid hit-capped, you're well on the way for Heroics.
Mana = damage: While you won't be sustaining Arcane blast spam for more than a few seconds until you get some emblem gear, you can still put out some decent damage if you play aggressively, the fights aren't too long, and Evocation is ready. Fortunately, 5-man fights are rarely too long, and 2 minutes is usually short enough that Evocation (and the rest of your cooldowns) will be primed and ready at the start of each and every boss fight. Basically, you can do damage far beyond your gearscore, though not for very long. It's a lot of fun.

credit card interest rate scammer yet another number cant you guys shut down these folks?
recorded call, did not give me an option to refuse future calls
This was a recorded call implying that I asked for them to call. I have received this call previously and told them not to call this number which is listed on the do not call registry.
This was a text message to my cell phone.
This place has called me numerous times. If it doesn't leave a message- it just waits on the line and hangs up. I need them to just stop calling my number!
This same company calls me at least once a week despite me advising i am on the do not call list. The person refused to provide the company name and address.
texting and leaving nasty messages on phone and would highly appreciate it if you would stop because none of it is necessary for you to be in any ones business

As requested, Modern Anna and Elsa c:
People with low self-esteem are more likely to sabotage themselves when something good happens to them, because they don't feel deserving.
So all of this isn't the real story. This dog goes with her every day. He loves being outside. She was inside for 2 minutes. Get the real facts before you bash someone behind a computer screen.
Okay you guys, I have to share this.
So right now the temperatures here in Minnesota are at record lows. With windchills around -40 to -50 degrees Fahrenheit, schools are closing & people are staying inside to protect themselves from the frigid cold.
But one person in Winona, Minnesota, decided to leave her dog out in the cold while she went into the post office. I mean leaving your dog outside isn't unheard of, but with -40 degree weather? Look at that poor dogs face.
Fortunately one amazing man inside the post office saw the pup freezing & shivering outside and decided to leave his spot in line to go sit with the poor baby until his owner came back outside.
I don't know what happened when the owner came outside to find a stranger sitting with their dog, but I certainly hope they got a stern lecture about how dangerous it is to leave your pets outside in this kind of cold. If people are bundling up like the Michelin man & still complaining about the cold, I can't even imagine how cold this poor dog was while sitting outside.
Don't be stupid, people. Keep your pets warm to keep your pets safe.
Oh fuck that. I would have taken that dog home with me instead of just cuddling it for warmth.
Ugh that is horrible! One of my pups freaked out cause her paws hurt just from being outside for not even 5 minutes to go potty. We are getting boots first thing tomorrow morning. Some people really don't deserve animals.
wow, i never saw this reference, amazing

Thursday, a Waterloo kindergartner walked home from Irving Elementary unaccompanied.
While there are conflicting stories as to how the child left school grounds, both district officials and the boy's mother agree it should never have happened.
Right before lunch, a teacher's aide brought five-year-old Christofer Velasquez in from recess to use the restroom. Then the aide went back outside.
Minutes later -- and blocks away -- Christofer's grandmother opened the door to find her grandson standing there, all alone.
School officials say they didn't know Christofer was missing until his grandmother called, but would have discovered it after roll was taken at lunch minutes later.
"He didn't know to go to the office," said Casey Velasquez, Christofer's mother. "We never worked through this kind of situation because we didn't think it would ever happen."
Here, the accounts differ. Velasquez said Christofer couldn't find his class, got scared and walked home. District officials said Christofer hid from supervision.
"So he was out of sight of his teachers, but regardless, safety is our number one priority," Tara Thomas, a representative of Waterloo Schools, said. "I'm not trying to make any excuses other than to say the way the situation played out on the surveillance tape is a little different that what may have been the opinion of the child or his mom."
Security cameras show Christofer leaving the building alone, standing by the dumpsters for a few minutes while his class files inside around the corner. Then he runs off-screen.
Christofer only lives a few blocks from the building, but still had to cross busy Fifth Street to get home. His mom said he could have been hurt, or worse.
Thomas said it's common practice for kids to return from the bathroom unsupervised, but that this incident is the exception, not the rule.
"Clearly it was something the district acknowledges shouldn't have happened," Thomas said. "We're going to review, obviously, this circumstance, look back over procedures, protocols in place and say, 'How can we make this better to prevent anything from ever happening like this again?'"
Velasquez said the district should not have allowed her child off-grounds.
"If there are so many children that you can't keep an eye on them, get more people out there so this doesn't happen to somebody else," she said. "God knows where they could be."
District officials are reviewing the case, and will meet with Velasquez on Monday.
