best school i go there and i love it
My daughter attended Watson B. Duncan and my son is currently there. This school has the best principal I have ever seen as well as a great staff. Our needs have always been met with kindness and caring.
Im a student there and i think our school is awesome.
I think this is the best school as a student im treated fair and right.
I went to this middle school for the 3 years I had to and it was the best time of my life. I was easily getting A's and learning the material I needed. The people there are amazing and every one is different and your not being judged all the time. I am now a 9th grader and if anything, I missed watson B duncan middle school most.
It is almost impossible to get a conference with a teacher because most of the teachers at Duncan Middle School do not call parents to tell them if a student is falling behind in their class Unless you have Ed Line you will never know anything until your son/ daughter gets their report card; then it is too late.
This school is great! I went to duncan for one year and it was the best year ever. As long as you hang out with the right crowds you're pretty much alright. The teachers are wonderful and cooperative, they really know how to bring out the fun in learning. This is a great place to make friends and learn about character and real life.
I'm atteding at this school, it's a very nice school; but the students are undisciplined, about 60% percent of the students in a classroom they don't want to learn almost anything and they show little respect for classmates and teachers. I also believe that this school has lost alot of prestigue in many aspects by the students and by the few mediocre teachers. If your child wants to come to this school, he has to be in Advanced or Honors classes in order to enjoy it.
My children attended 6th and 8th grade at Duncan; it was the worst school year of their lives. My daughter, who loves to learn, hated everyday. My son felt like an outsider everyday. It is run like a boot camp with good kids punished along with the troubled ones. Thankfully, they are in new school now. So much for 'A' rated!
duncan is a wonderful school great teacher great staff. the princeapal is very understanding the student are great they have great sports to offer
This school has been a disappointment to both my children. My oldest is now in High School and wonders how he got through Duncan. My other child is an honor student and was very involved in the school until some bully decided to cause a fight, which my child, the injured victim, was suspended with the repeat aggressor. Safety is a concern as well as fair treatment by administration. This, by far, did not fit into 'zero tolerance' and is being disputed.
Duncan is a great school with a great princeable. He is soooo nice. there are many reading challenges and fundraisers. I have so many friends.You can email me for more info. Sadly this is my last year at duncan, i have been there for 3 years.
This school if going down hill. Too many videos and worksheets and too little learning.
My daughter attended Watson B. Duncan Middle school for 7th & 8th grade. She had caring, well-educated teachers and blossomed with the pleasant open atmosphere. My daughter enjoyed the campus, the library, clean cafeteria and good sized classrooms. The school is within walking distance of our home so we don't know anything about the bus transportation to Duncan. I chaperoned a couple of field trips, one to the Kravis Center for a play. Her teachers were always pleasant and encouraged parental involvement.
During my time attending Duncan Middle School I have expanded my brain to an exceptional size. The diversity of the different cultures and the very little narrow-minded people have made me come out of my middle school career with great memories, more talents,and a sharper mind in which I will us in my upcoming future. The great curriculums in Math, Science,History,English,and the many enlightening foreign languages has supplied the many students with an enormous amount of information like French,Chinese,and Spanish languages. Along with the many foreign languages the extracurricular actities and the availability of interactive sports, music(chorus and band), and art has made the normalcy of a student's life more bearable. The variety of after-school programs are alway fun-filled and together with the electives they will sure to pass the day quickly.
There is no respect for the individual student. They do not value or honor the student. They (most of the teachers) belittle, embarrass and harrass the children. These words which came from another middle school re; duncan and their staff i think sums it up; 'oh, duncan. Well, we are not like duncan here. We respect the individual student and value them as a person. And we of course expect the same in return.' Duncan really could use someone outside to clean house and get staff that not only know how to spell correctly, teach, but can 'encourage' the child, not destroy. Oh, and the safety, officer ferrell is on a permanent vacation!

Entrance Fee Waived June 5 & 6
Free admission, warmer weather, longer days, and fewer crowds make this weekend a great time to visit a national park. To celebrate the coming of summer, the National Park Service is waiving entrance fees at all parks on June 5 & 6.
"National parks offer visitors great places to exercise their bodies and their minds- or just relax with family or friends," said National Park Service Director Jon Jarvis. To accommodate visitors wishing to take advantage of the free entrance fees, Joshua Tree National Park will keep all of its campgrounds open through the upcoming weekend. "Normally we close some of our campground loops for the summer due to low visitation," said Park Superintendent Curt Sauer, "but we'll delay our normal summer closures so visitors will find all of our campsites open for the upcoming weekend." Normal camping fees and other user fees will still be collected.
National Trails Day on June 5 is an opportune time to hike a portion of the 17,000 miles of trail located in national parks. Additionally, the National Park Service National Trails System manages more than 50,000 miles of historic and scenic trails of national importance, such as the Pacific Crest Trail and the Juan Batista de Anza National Historic Trail and more than 1,000 national recreation trails of local or regional significance. Joshua Tree National Park offers many different trails from easy self-guided nature trails to extended wilderness hikes.
Visitors to Joshua Tree are reminded that summer often brings high daytime temperatures that can exceed 100 degrees in the middle of the day. Normal hot weather precautions should be taken. Visitors should limit strenuous activity to the cooler morning and evening hours. When hiking or walking, you should always carry plenty of water (1 gallon per person per day), use sunscreen, and wear a hat and light clothing to cover sensitive skin.
Campers and picnickers are reminded to bring water as most park campgrounds and picnic areas do not have water available. Potable water is available at park visitor centers and at Black Rock and Cottonwood Campgrounds as well as the Indian Cove Ranger Station. The National Park Service entrance fees will also be waived on August 14 & 15, September 25, and November 11, 2010. Fees for activities such as camping, reservations, tours, or concessions are not affected by the entrance fee waiver.
There are 147 parks that normally charge entrance fees ranging from $3 to $25. The other 245 national parks do not charge entrance fees, so you can plan inexpensive visits year round.
Did You Know?
One of the most beautiful spectacles in spring is the creamy-white blossoms of Joshua trees. These white candles can be seen from February to late March. Joshua trees do not branch until after they bloom, and they don't bloom every year. More...

Support and hope - from receiving to giving
I have to be honest that we didn't find this idea appealing at first. I guess we pictured it being like an old-fashioned support group where you open up about your problems and strangers want you to cry on their shoulders. We felt we had enough support from our close family and friends, who have constantly been there for us emotionally, physically and financially from the moment of Brenna's birth.
But then I connected with two families who have children with Harlequin in the U.S. And I very quickly realized how much I needed them, to learn about living with this severe condition every day and the care that we must provide, but also for the support.
Harlequin Ichthyosis is so rare that there are very few true experts in the world. The vast majority of dermatologists have never had a patient with it. So that means that the wealth of information on caring for babies with it comes from the families, who live it day in and day out - the baths, the moisturizing, the infection prevention, the itching/dryness, how to add calories, laundry and cleaning, occupational therapy/movement, and the judging/rudeness from strangers.
When I first started this blog, we were in a heavy fog of distressed emotions, wondering if our daughter was going to live. The sole purpose of the blog at that time was to update about Brenna's condition and raise awareness about Harlequin Ichthyosis as we learned little by little what this disease entailed.
What I didn't expect was the number of families in similar situations that would be able to connect with us because of this blog. Though the oldest living person with Harlequin in the world is only in her twenties - and there are only maybe a dozen people in their teens and twenties that I know of - with medical advances, more children born with Harlequin are living and thriving today.
Not only did I connect with some families and a few people in their teens who are actually living with Harlequin at first, but in the year since starting our blog, I've been contacted by parents across the world, from many states in the U.S. to Ireland to Israel...not only regarding Harlequin but other forms of ichthyosis too. And they all want the exact same thing that we wanted during the very critical weeks following Brenna's birth: hope.
The knowledge about care is immensely helpful, yes, but the inevitable questions always comes up: "is Brenna happy? Is she comfortable? Does it get easier?"
I can't express how much it meant to us to receive this kind of support from other families - both in the beginning and still today (all the time actually) - and I believe God as opened up the opportunity for us to give back in a way to "new" families who are facing these new obstacles, who just want to know that everything will be OK, even if their families and their futures are turning out much differently than expected.
Ultimately, we all hope the same things for our children: happiness and success, in whatever form that may be. I know that other families have given me so much hope that Brenna can achieve these things, and I hope that we also are able to provide that for families who join our "ichthyosis community" in the future.

Your blog has been a great way to raise awareness and I'm sure has helped inspire that hope for many families!ReplyDelete
Though I don't have HI, I have a form of Ichthyosis which means I can relate to what Brenna will go through. I can emphatically say it DOES get easier. There are hurdles, but it has been easier as I've gotten older.ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing your story - as De De says, it helps others so much. Very generous of you.
FIRST is an awesome resource! We could not have gotten this far without them, either. I hope we will see you in Indy next year!ReplyDelete

Laughter Is NOT the Best Medicine
New Physique 57 DVDs Bring Luxury Fitness Home
Physique 57 is an exercise studio in New York City where people walk in with their too-many-donut butts and come out looking like Heidi Klum. No, seriously.

The studio has just launched a DVD series, allowing you to take advantage of the luxury workout at home.
Getting yourself to exercise at home isn't easy, but you won't suffer from lack of motivation from Physique 57′s video choices because they're cut down into short, specialized workouts.

GHSF Daily's Chip Saye ranks the most surprising upsets of the weekend:
1. Liberty Co. 29, Statesboro 0: Liberty County had lost its first three games by a combined 67-28 before knocking off Statesboro, which was 3-0 and ranked No. 10 in Class AAAA.
2. Brooks Co. 27, Monroe 19: Class AAA Monroe was 3-0 before losing to a team that was 1-2, with its only victory against Class A Pelham.
3. North Paulding 27, Sprayberry 22: Third-year North Paulding appears to be for real at 4-0, but we'll find out for sure in the next two weeks when it faces East Paulding and Hiram.
4. Our Lady of Mercy 42, Landmark Christian 35: Mike Earwood's new team tied the school record for victories in a season (4-0) by beating a perennial region contender.
5. Mount Zion, Jonesboro 21, Creekside 19: Both teams were undefeated, but Creekside appeared to be the class of Region 4-AAAA. Now Mount Zion finds itself tied with Lovejoy for the region lead.
6. Cairo 20, Thomas Co. Central 13: The No. 3 team in Class AAA goes overtime to take down Thomas County Central, which had been No. 5 in AAAA.
7. Marion Co. 21, Hawkinsville 14: Marion County, which dropped from Class AA this season, sits alone atop Region 4-A after knocking off the previous No. 10 team in Class A.
8. Roswell 24, Walton 13: Roswell appears ready to be a threat in Region 6-AAAAA despite its 1-3 record against a very tough non-region schedule.
9. Metter 21, Vidalia 20: Metter is 3-1 for the first time since 2003, when it reached the Class A quarterfinals.
10. South Atlanta 29, Clarkston 0: Sure, Clarkston is 0-3 and has lost 10 consecutive games. But South Atlanta had lost 14 straight, which was the state's fourth-longest active streak.

"1. Liberty Co. 29, Statesboro 0: Liberty County had lost its first three games by a combined 67-28 before knocking off Statesboro, which was 3-0 and ranked No. 10 in Class AAAA."
Beginning of the season, Liberty County also lost to Americus Sumter who does have a winning tradition up until late. But Americus Losses came from Number four ranked Cook County, who also upset region 1-AAAAA Colquitt County who was also ranked, and from Troup County". In other words, these are no slouch teams.

To me ,region 5n-AAAA is the region of the year! You have four teams that are actually contenders from this bracket. Give East Paulding the edge over North Paulding …simply because they have been there before and they know what it takes.
Give Hiram the nod over Kell because of the same reason…experience will prevail….but if not…im not mad at all. I like to see fresh new faces and teams do thier thing!
GOOD LUCK to all of COBB CO. teams! And dont forget about HILLGROVE!

Road to Zanzibar, June 2014
Daniel Garcia Ferrer
The first part of the trip was great. David Mutani (guide), Susan (cook) and Dan (driver) were amazing and very helpful. The group was great. Awesome food. I didn't feel very real the Masai Mara village people, and the chief wasn't very trustful. A pity it rained and we couldn't enjoy the bonfire. We got stuck in mud and delayed the trip a few hours. I wonder if a full traction in the bus is worth it. Not sure how necessary it is to flap the pots and plates instead of drying them with a towel and reuse it later on. The second part of the trip was much worst. I am still awaiting for the conctacs of the group. The tour leader (Elisha) - I don´t have his surname (2 weeks tour to serengeti and Zanzibar) was not involve in the dynamics of the group. Promised stops at supermarkets or ATM that never happened. Was not organised. A few girls complained of another things, but hopefully someone else will report this, as I did not witness it myself. He asked for feedback during our last dinner, and I said it was not appropriate as it is meant to be anonymous. He disappeared later on and some people could not find him. Not as explicative as David, sometimes even having dinner 10 , away of the group. The cook (Liz) and the driver (Steven) were good. The trainee (Stanley) did not do much or interacted much, and his Plan For Tomorrow explanations were more confusing than anything else.

Dear diary,
Yesterday I told Romano that I liked him more than Germany! At first he didn't believe me, but then he looked like he was going to cry. I ended up sleeping with him, and he even cuddled me a bit this time! I think I'm ready to tell him I love him.

Green Lantern Corps story. Very widesweeping. It's an Elseworlds. Lets just say the Corps vs. Kryptonians under a yellow sun.
Not the current class in Academy X. But the honest to goodness New Mutants, Xavier's third group of students inducted around Uncanny 170 to replace his dead X-Men up in broodspace. Sam, Dani, Roberto, Rahne, Xi-an, Amara, Warlock and you better believe it, Illyana Freakin' Rasputin.
That's in the first couple of storylines. The saving of Illyana Rasputin from the ill-concieved Louise Simonson and Rob Liefield plots responsible for killing her off. Next? Dani deals with the consequences of Ragnarok, and the artifacts and new iterations of the Asgardian Gods on earth. After that? The New Mutants Vs. Mystique. Rahne wants vengeance for her mother. And it's high time she had it now that she's got the wolf back. It's long past time she came into her own as a near as dammit adult. (If Kitty Pryde is now 18 or 19, Rahne should be 17 or 18. She was only a year younger than kitty as of the New Mutants Graphic Novel) Next the New Mutants Vs. X-Force, or what's left of em. Throwing a leash on em. Whatever it takes to rein in these mutants that think acting like MILITANT TERRORISTS in the current day is a good idea. After that? We round up what's left of Emma Frost's surviving Hellions, assuming any DID survive. (I still need to read the latter half of X-Force after Liefield bailed for Image.) After that... Maybe we find some of the surviving members of X-Statix... Active romance between Sam and Lila Cheney. The Death of Boom-Boom, or whatever she calls herself now... The resolution of all this soulsteel retconned crap to do with Illyana's sword. As well as the resolution and fixing of Illyana's problematic amulet with the three bloodstones in it. (Trust me. I've figured this one out.) The maturing of Dani and Xi-An's power levels into adulthood and perhaps secondary mutation. (Dani's powers manifested to their fullest extent were supposed to be able to create REAL objects and terrors/joys from the minds she pulled em from. Matter Creation & Manipulation. Xi-An was said to have telepathic potential beyond Xavier's abilities on reaching full adulthood.) And this isn't even going into rounding up lost mutants from the past that weren't eliminated in Weapon X that could go into classes at Xaviers where our characters teach when they're not out adventuring. JUST LIKE THE X-MEN DO.
This is all just off the top of my head. There's enough history and plot from the other books to play off of that I could make last for 10 damn years. With the power levels involved here, These kids that're no longer kids should be out in the forefront. Kicking ass, taking names. I wanna write the New Mutants, Vol. 3.
I feel remarkably unburdened with the need to explain, justify or defend anything I say, feel or do online to any self-entitled anonymous snarkwit who feels I owe their point of view a form of cogent argument or debate. Life is too short to stress myself arguing with strangers over minutiae. Ya don't like it, ignore me and go read something else. -WinterRose
I wouldn't mind getting a crack at some Comic Screenplays either. I have a great idea for Captain America. Includes his origin, the Invaders & the Avengers.
I had a great idea for the first Spider-Man Movie too. Had the whole thing plotted out with Doc Ock as the villan. And no sappy MJ crap.

It had to be Doc Ock first because the accident that gave him the tentacles was the same accident where Peter got bit by the spider and got his powers.

The man accused of stealing an ambulance with two fire department paramedics inside went before a judge on Sunday.
A DeKalb County magistrate judge set Frank Ponquinette's bond at $100,000, $25,000 for each charge.
Ponquinette is charged with four charges including two counts of kidnapping, interference with government property and theft by taking of a motor vehicle.
Officers arrested Ponquinette, 36, for stealing a DeKalb County rescue unit Saturday afternoon.
The DeKalb County ambulance was stolen off an Emory Hospital emergency ramp with two firefighters inside.
DeKalb Fire Battalion Chief Christopher Morrison said the two firefighters were in the back doing paperwork when the suspect who appeared to be a patient stole the ambulance.
"They were in the back completing some paperwork and allegedly, a patient came out of the hospital dressed in a gown and rubber gloves, jumped in the front seat, locked the doors and took off in the unit," Morrison said.
Morrison said one of the captive firefighters managed to radio for help on a private channel.
"He knew they were in the unit because he actually looked through the window in the back and he saw them and pretty much told them to just be quiet and hold on," Morrison said.
Morrison said the ambulance raced 1 1/2 miles from the hospital, eventually crashing into the Sandy Chiropractic office on Church Street. No one was inside at the time. The front of that building was destroyed, and the ambulance was totaled.
DeKalb County police said Ponquinette fled the scene, ran to a nearby apartment and stole clothing from its laundry room. Officers arrested Ponquinette at the Suburban Plaza Shopping Center on North Decatur Road at about 6 p.m.

Nike Air Max Sneaker Ball Event
June 7th, 2013 by Brendan Dunne | No comments
Nike is throwing an event out in Paris that pays tribute to the long history of the Nike Air Max technology. The event will actually take place at the very spot that first inspired Tinker Hatfield to whip up that see through window, the Centre Georges Pompidou. The details remain slim at this point, but given how big a part of the Nike story this tech is, we'd expect them to all out for the show. Check out the flyer below and then hit up Size? for some info about how to win a free trip out to Paris to attend the event.

Systematic Sampling
Definition of 'Systematic Sampling'
A type of probability sampling method in which sample members from a larger population are selected according to a random starting point and a fixed, periodic interval. This interval, called the sampling interval, is calculated by dividing the population size by the desired sample size. Despite the sample population being selected in advance, systematic sampling is still thought of as being random, provided the periodic interval is determined beforehand and the starting point is random.
Investopedia explains 'Systematic Sampling'
Because simply random sampling can be inefficient and time-consuming, statisticians turn to other methods, such as systematic sampling. Choosing a sample size through a systematic approach can be done quickly. For example, if you wanted to select a random group of 1,000 people from a population of 50,000 using systematic sampling, you would simply select every 50th person, since 50,000/1,000 = 50.
One risk that statisticians must take into account when conducting systematic sampling involves how the list used with the sampling interval is organized. If the population placed on the list is organized in a cyclical pattern that matches the sampling interval, the selected sample may be biased. For example, a company's human resources department wants to pick a sample of employees and ask how they feel about company policies. Employees are grouped in teams of 20, with each team headed by a manager. If the list used to pick the sample size is organized with teams clustered together, the statistician risks picking only managers (or no managers at all) depending on the sampling interval.

Marc Kalifa
Born: Paris, France.
Resides: Sunshine Coast Hinterland.
Artist InformationMarc Kalifa was born in Paris, France in 1951. He arrived in Darwin, Australia in 1974 and after survivng Cyclone Tracey worked as a jeweller until finding an interest and ability in creating stained glass windows in 1977 when he also relocated to the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Gaining notoriety in this field he fulfilled many commissioned works including several large projects for historical monuments (e.g in Leeton, Victoria 12 windows to designs by Walter Burley Griffin). In 1985 on a study tour in France Marc had the opportunity to blow hot glass and became fascinated by the possibilities of the medium and so he converted his studio to be able to produce hot glass. Through both personal study and several workshops, Marc steadily mastered the arts of Pate-de-Verre, glass casting and cold working as well as bronze casting, which he has subsequently used in many of his sculptural works.
"Making glass for me is an alchemical process, where I need to apply my understanding of the fire and the way it transmutes basic raw opaque materials into a translucent medium. Once this fluid medium is born, the concern with colour begins. In this context, imagery and colour consideration are somewhat more important than the form on which it is applied. More recently, my search for appropriate form has led me back to casting metal methods, as well as experimenting with wood and the combination of these shapes along with colour has stimulated my investigation of multi-medium sculpture."
Marc has perfected several 'signature' series of works including Terra Australis (the landscape), the Dreamers (figures within the glass) and the Sunset series (Outback desert colours) which have all helped his career to go from strength to strength along with the gaining of many awards and the completion of major commissions such as the permanent trophy for the "Outrigger Boat World Championship", series of gifts for General Motors Holden and for the Performing Arts Trust at the Brisbane Festival. Kalifa glass can be found in the permanent collections of the Tweed Shire Regional Gallery, N.S.W., the Darwin Museum of Arts and Science, N.T., and the Bright Art Centre, Victoria and in private collections across Australia and New Zealand, the USA, Japan, France, the U.K. and Singapore.

As a result, he was named the ACC Player of the Week for his stellar play. It's only one game, but what are some of the differences between this season and last for the Delaware product?
We'll call it the three "Ps".
Poise: The bottom line is Cooney struggled last season. He could not connect from behind the arc on a constant basis, including a handful of air balls. He just did not seem comfortable when he was on the floor. However, Cooney looked like a completely different player on Friday. With every made shot, Cooney grew more confident. Even went he missed a shot in the middle of the first half, he shook it off and went on to make his next six three-point attempts. That is something he did not do last season. For the first time since joining the Orange, it seemed as if Cooney was having fun rather than feeling every shot he took had to go in.
Pressure: That leads into the next difference. Last season, Cooney had high expectations to produce right away from the three-point line. Because he also redshirted his first year, many fans expected him to be ready during his redshirt freshman season. When he struggled to find his shot, Cooney would hear a showering of boos from the fans. It always seemed as if the boos were louder for Cooney because expectations were so high. Some people tagged him as a better shooter coming into SU than his mentor, Gerry McNamara. But the reality is fans just wanted to see him succeed. Cooney put the critics to rest this past Friday for at least a few days. He embraced the pressure for the first time since playing against Georgetown in the Big East Championship last season. Cooney finally got to show off his ability and the work he has put in with the coaching staff. Mike Hopkins constantly tweets pictures of Cooney putting in extra hours to get where he wants to be, while Gerry McNamara has worked with him closely since the beginning.
Playing time: One of the major reasons Cooney felt so much pressure to hit shots when he was on the floor was because he was not on the floor a whole lot. Brandon Triche and Michael Carter-Williams dominated the backcourt for the majority of games, with Cooney coming in off the bench in limited minutes. This season, Cooney will be expected to be on the floor for most of the game with the lack of depth in the backcourt. With Ennis running top of the key, only Trevor Cooney and Ron Patterson are listed in the backcourt at the 2-position. Michael Gbinije has tried to feel his into the top of the key but that is still a major work-in-progress. Regardless, the increase in minutes should help Cooney's confidence throughout the season.
It will be hard to replicate what Orange Nation witnessed on Friday, but the game does give Trevor Cooney a great platform to build off of with Fordham entering the Loud House tonight. With so many questions coming into this season, it is good to see the Orange trying to answer them early.

I know it has only been a few games against poor competition but Cooney has looked pretty good.
We need all the offensive help we can get and if he is averaging 12-18 a night then we will be so much better off.
We'll see what Trevor does tonight.
Was Friday kind of a fluke//flash in the pan? Or is Cooney ready to step up as a starter and be that #2 shooting guard. Kid hustles and plays hard. On a couple of those 3s he worked without the ball, RUNNING around picks to get open..no half speed stuff. He just needs to be solid, efficient..as Andrew states 14 a game would be great.
Good reasoning about Cooney. He was not only unproductive last year, but was not as good as some high school kids. Nevertheless, hope he keeps his play up this year and turns the corner for real. Maybe the improvement is due to Ennis instead of Carter-Williams (the 2 points in final four SU point)
Cornell was all about a blind squirrel finding a nut.
Cooney reverted to true colors vs. Fordham garnering twice as many fouls as points. His ACC POTW was the mirage I thought it was.
This guy is a bust plain and simple.
That's just a bad assessment. Cooney needed to step up /w grant out and Ennis and the young guys struggling a bit in the cornell game. Last night grant was back and Ennis and our bigs played well. He only took 6 shots last night had some foul problems but he really wasn't needed last night. Still like to see him in double figures every game though but he's far from a bust.
What are you talking about? By the time Trevor graduateshe's going to be reconized as one of the greats ever to play the game at Syracuse. I feel his shooting,scoring,hustle attributes are equal to Jerry MacNamara. Now if you remember Jerry started his career real strong as a freshman and never had another season like the first as where Trevor started slowly and is going to be all league by the time he finishes. Could even go pro after graduation and I feel the best is yet to come.

The hottest bars to wet your whistle at this weekend
Drink on the roof till it's way past your bedtime
It's Friday night friends, and while we realise you're probably already three sheets to the wind, this post comes not too late at all, because there's a new bar in town and it is at your service until 5am.
Captain Melville (pictured)
The bushranger themed bistro on Franklin Street (formerly pub-club Miss Libertines) opened a rooftop bar last night that puts the venue's 24-hour license to use once more. Canadian cocktail guru Sarah Miller has overseen the upper deck's transformation, so you can expect to get a good drink on the upper balcony even when everyone else has hung up their aprons and gone home.
Joe Taylor
And if you're in the mood for going off the beaten track, check out Joe Taylor in North Melbourne. Inhabiting the space that until recently was occupied by Rose Bar, this pop-up is going from strength to strength, serving sharp cocktails, craft beers and rock, soul and hip hop on demand.… Read more
So you think you can plus one?
"Hey, if you're ever looking for someone to come and eat food with you, I'm really keen."
It's the sentence that every food and drink writer hears at least three times a week, and really, well, no shit. Of course you're keen. Being a plus one to a restaurant (or bar) review, you get the elusive free lunch without having to do anything other than show up, and for the most part shut up. See, we review anonymously here at Time Out, which means that we book under a false name and pay for ourselves. The reason we do so is to ensure that we're getting the same experience you might expect when you visit, so on the night/s in question, we're Joe Everyman – or in this reviewer's case, Felicity Cassalinga, or maybe even Serenity Brown.
Which is why, plus one wannabes, you can expect to be unceremoniously chucked off the review gravy train if you walk in and yell our real name across the room.… Read more
Last chance to Crab Shack, no more Mercy Bar and a new bar by the Pawn and Co crazies
Hey Melbourne, . In the past week we've had more good and bad food news than we can handle.
On the excellent front, we learnt that we were inheriting the amazing Gelato Messina from Sydney. Put your excitement pants on for that. We also got wind of a new ice-it-yourself cupcake shop (123 Cake) in North Melbourne.
In less sky punching news we've just been told that Juicy Jay's Fried Chicken and Crab Shack is moving out of the Public Bar at the end of this weekend. Don't panic, though. They're just relocating to some new digs in Richmond, but that won't happen until summer, so you better go and smash as much fried chicken and crab boil as you can handle between now and Sunday to tide you over.
And in crazy news, remember a few days ago when we likened the Aylesbury's impending identity change to Mercy Bar's recent do-over (it was formerly Virginia Plain until they toned down the fancy in June)?… Read more

Exactly! Mother monster doesn't want your money. She wants you to download her app for free because she loves you, little monsters.
So does it mean she will make no money from this new album? Will Billboard consider those free downloads for the charts? How will SoundScan track the sales of music and music video for this album?
So many questions! Let's go one by one:
Can Billboard track sales from her app?
Can iTunes monitor the sales through her app?
Can SoundScan track purchases done through her app?
Here's the catch:
The rumor is that the number of songs/albums purchased through Lady Gaga's app will be REPORTED to Billboard and SoundScan.
REPORTED by Lady Gaga's team at TechHAUS!
Cute, right?
But wait! There's more! Little monsters already have it all planned out:
"Don't buy the album on iTunes" - that's what they are saying all over the web. Why not?
Because if you buy the album on iTunes, it will be "only one album sold," which they say it's "unfair" to Lady Gaga.
So what are they going to do?
"Download the app for free, then download each song separatedly." Why?
Because each song downloaded through the app will be reported as one album sold.
Never forget what Bill Verde (Editorial Director from Billboard) said:
If they were willing to work it out a CD+app bundle before, I have no doubt they will turn their blind eye to this, and believe any number of "sales" reported by Lady Gaga's TechHAUS.
Welcome to the ARTSCAM era!
I just wonder if they will actually report how many free-apps will be downloaded on the first week. You see, it's going to look rather strange, if on its first week, let's say 400,000 free-apps are downloaded, but mysteriously over one million albums is sold. But I'm sure they have a plan to cover it up.
In the meantime, have a laught at little monster's hardwork with their own promotion of FARTPOOP:
In all honesty, I am much more interested in Katy Perry's new single, rumored to be called "Rainbow", allegedly coming out in August as well.
For starters, Katy Perry's campaign to promote her new album, Prism, has been far more interesting than Lady Gaga's desperate self-indulging and schizophrenic FARTPOOP announcement:
Whose new single will you be buying? Lady Gaga's or Katy Perry's?
Meanwhile, enjoy this 15-second snippet of Applause.
I've got to admit: the instrumental is GREAT! But her voice ruins it:
Bill Werde (editorial director of Billboard) heard of our post and tweeted us the following:
The funniest part of it is that little monsters did not get the dubiosity of this message and flat out said *I* was wrong. No wonder I call them little morons.
But hey, at least we can celebrate. Luigi and his monster family can start planning something else, as Werde explained:

The Vice-President for Int'l Affairs of IAU, Dr. S. J. Angaji, announced in a meeting with a committee of German Higher Education Authorities, the necessary substrate for Cooperation between Islamic Azad University and the German Counterparts has been provided.
According to Dr. Angaji, the meeting was set in line with the promotion of mutual Cooperation, Scientific and Research Exchanges, as the main objectives of the Islamic Azad University.
He also mentioned the Significance of the German delegation since they were among the top Authorities and universities of the Country with attendance of Prof. Margaret W. Manter as the Chairman of the Delegation.
The Vice-President for Research and Technology of the IAU, Dr. Vashghani Farhani, also attended the meeting and described the abilities, potential and current capacities of the IAU for the Delegation.
** Higher Education Policy Quarterly
Higher Education Policy (HEP), published quarterly, is an international journal for advancing scholarly understanding of the policy process applied to higher education through the publication of original analyses, both theoretical and practice-based, the focus of which may range from case studies of developments in individual institutions to policy making at systems and at national level.
Through this journal the International Association of Universities wishes to strengthen the exchange between scholarship and issues of practical administrative concern within the perspective of the disciplines that contribute to the study of this field - anthropology, history, economics, public administration, political science, government, law, sociology, philosophy, psychology, policy analysis and the sociology of organisations.
The editorial board will give every encouragement to original contributions, whether theoretical, conceptual or empirical in nature, which involves explicit inter-system and cross-national comparisons. Articles devoted to less reported systems of higher education and their evolution, are particularly welcome. The major criteria retained in the process of review and selection are the significance of the submission to decision-making and policy development in higher education as well as its intrinsic quality. Since the study of policy in higher education draws upon a broad range of disciplines, a cross-disciplinary methodology will have equal consideration.
The aim of Higher Education Policy is to provide a peer-reviewed vehicle of the highest quality for institutional leadership, scholars, practitioners and administrators at all levels of higher education to have access to, keep abreast of, and contribute to, the most advanced analyses available in this domain.

Beau is making a wonderful recovery, all for less than half the price of a GastroGard regimen!
Here's the rundown of what I've been doing (besides his usual 1 scoop of Platinum Performance CJ once a day):
July 16–started UlcerGard once a day plus 3000 mg ranitidine (crushed tablets from the store) twice a day. Tums once a day. 2-3 lbs. small alfalfa pellets once a day with equal amount of soaked beet pulp.
July 21–Continue UG, increased ranitidine to 3300 mg twice a day. Tums and alfalfa and beet pulp same.
July 23–Continue UG, started ranitidine powder from Smartpak (Beau wouldn't eat the flavored powder alone). Vet prescribed 2700 mg three times a day, online all recommendations were for 3 mg/lb. (and Beau is obviously more than 900 pounds!) so I made a decision that has paid off–1 1/2 wells of powder (about 4000 mg) in a syringe with water and squirted into his mouth twice a day (can't do it three times eight hours apart). Started Succeed twice a day (recommended loading dose). Discontinued beet pulp but still giving 2-3 lbs. small alfalfa pellets twice a day.
July 25–Hoowee! A bat out of hell! Beau was flying around the arena with his neck arched and HUGE strides. This was the first time he'd performed with that spectacular presence in about six weeks. Someone felt mighty fine. It was great to watch him at liberty like that.
His regimen continued with the approx. 4000 mg/day of ranitidine twice a day, UG dose once a day, 2-3 lbs. alfalfa pellets twice a day, Succeed twice a day (still on the loading dose) and Tums once a day (when he's from his hay).
July 28?–saddled up and rode lightly after some lunging. I gave him time to get over any soreness from his antics of the Thursday before. No more right hind leg lameness!
Same feeding regimen, except I realized that the antacid tablets are all calcium and switched to using Pro CMC, which is formulated for horses and includes magnesium, another stomach buffer and necessary to balance with calcium.
July 30–Yikes! I'm glad I didn't have time to ride. I'd have been a goner. That boy had exuberance again, this time in the bigger outdoor arena.
Continued the same medication/feeding from the 28th.
July 31–We had a nice quiet ride inside, working on walking and trotting lateral movements to supple his topline, after working all three gaits on the lungeline in side reins. The bump of his lumbar vertebrae is nearly smooth with the thoracic vertebrae (back where the saddle/rider sits), so I surmise that the ulcers caused tightening of the psoas muscles which were pulling the lumbar vertebrae out of place. Controlling ulcers does indeed equal minimizing chiropractic issues.
Feeding regimen: 4000 mg of ranitidine twice a day, 1-2 oz. Pro CMC once or twice a day (often mixed in the syringe with the ranitidine powder and given at the same time), 2-3 lbs. alfalfa pellets twice a day, Succeed twice a day for another day or two which extends it a little past the 7-day recommended loading phase (still seeing that he needs a little extra help), and UG once a day (not sure how much longer I'll continue that, maybe another week, or two more tubes).
Estimated cost for 30 days of treatment–
6 tubes of UlcerGard at $37/tube (with USEF discount at SmartPak) = $222
Ranitidine tablets (store bought) plus 3 weeks worth of powder from SmartPak = approx. $200
About 3 – 50 lb. bags of Alfalfa pellets (about 30 days worth) from grain elevator feed store = $36*
* This is a roughage that will be continued ongoing after the initial healing period.
One bag of beet pulp from same grain elevator feed store = $13
One bottle of Pro CMC (with USEF discount from SmartPak = $32
Generic antacids = $8
Succeed (with USEF discount from Smartpak) 30 days worth (including loading dose) = $ 130 *
* Succeed is a supplement that will be fed once a day as a preventative ongoing after the 30 day healing period.
Total cost for 30 day treatment = $641
If you only account for the medicine to actually treat the gastric ulcers, the cost is reduced to $462, which is MUCH less than the $1009 cost of the 28-day regimen of GastroGard available at SmartPak (vet prescription required).
It's been two weeks (already half done with treatment) and my boy is feeling great and looking wonderful. For a significant savings over the cost of GastroGard, I am treating not only the gastric ulcers (the only ulcers that GG treats) but am going beyond and also able to treat hindgut ulcers, which GG does not treat. I am also adding in supplements that will help to prevent ulcers from recurring.
For more information, I went into detail last week in this post.
Edit (18 Dec 2013): Besides the treatment, Beau was also on his usual 1 scoop/day of Platinum Performance and a probiotic, usually Probios powder, because the brewer's yeast in other probiotics cause allergic rhinitis in him. He has made a full recovery from the ulcers and looks fantastically fit! And I was wrong about the Succeed–he LOVES the taste of it. He didn't like the beet pulp.j
Edit (30 Jan 2014): I get a lot of traffic to this post and the other post about Beau's ulcers. I hope it can provide some good information in addition to what's widely available from all the vet sites. Consider this one case study upon many…I wish to add a summary that while I was experimenting through the first couple of weeks with Beau's ulcer treatment, I would recommend Succeed and ranitidine as the main treatments for ulcers and wish that I had started at the higher dose of ranitidine from the beginning. Also, since Succeed is a supplement rather than medicine, a horse can stay on it continually. Beware, however, that since it aids digestion, horses will get more from their forage. I've found that Beau doesn't need any vitamin/mineral supplements and seemed to be very mildly laminitic (noticeable as footsoreness and stretching of the white lines on all four hooves) until I took him off Platimum altogether. Six months since I started ulcer treatment, he's doing great with Succeed as his only supplement and a probiotic on occasion. Also, I had cut back on the alfalfa pellets after two months since starting them.
ps (30 Jan 2014)–This was our second summer of dealing with ulcers. I believe Beau had hindgut ulcers from the summer before that I hadn't treated and which led to many chiropractic issues in the time between. He's only had a couple of adjustments since October 2013 and very minor.
EDIT (22 June 2014)–There are now generics for GastroGard that are cheaper and easier than crushing ranitidine tablets. For $150-$180/month, you can now treat your horse with omeprazole or a compound (offered by some veterinarians).
Please leave a comment if you have a story to share of your own experience. I'd love to hear from you!

Harford County Public Schools officials appealed to the members of the Harford County Council Thursday morning to fully fund their request for $241 million from the county for their Fiscal Year 2014 operating budget.
Harford County Executive David R. Craig set aside $221.3 million for public schools in his proposed county budget for FY2014, $19.7 million less than what school officials requested, but still about $1.5 million more than what the school system is receiving from the county during the current fiscal year. When he released his proposed budget two weeks ago, Craig made it a point to note the county continues to fund the school system at well above the level required by state law, typically referred to as maintenance of effort.
"It's very important to all of us that we continue to maintain a high-quality education system," Nancy Reynolds, vice president of the county's board of education, told council members during their budget work session in Bel Air.
Reynolds, along with Superintendent Robert Tomback, school system Budget Director Edward Fields and Chief of Administration Joe Licata, presented the operating budget request, as well as a projected $60.1 million capital budget, for council review.
She stressed her understanding that county officials must make funding decisions in a difficult economic climate.
"In light of that, we're presenting you with a fiscally responsible budget, which truly reflects the need to provide our students [with quality education]," Reynolds said.
The leaders of HCPS sought the increased county funding in pat to make up a shortfall of about $4 million in state funding, as well as increased costs of transportation, special education student needs, employee benefits and pensions and more. About $7.7 million of the requested increase from the county will fund raises negotiated with unions representing 5,200 school employees, including teachers.
Tomback told council members school officials are also working to increase teacher salaries – he noted wages are "10 percent behind the local market."
The total proposed HCPS budget for FY 2014 is $469.3 million, $14 million more than the current year's $455.3 million budget. The county, however, is being asked to make up the shortfall in revenue from the state plus much more. Craig had also noted earlier this month that his proposed budget did not provide for any raises next fiscal year for county government employees and law enforcement personnel.
The school system operates 54 schools in Harford County and serves more than 38,000 students.
More than 50 percent
If fully funded, the county's allocation would cover 51.3 percent of next year's school budget. State funds cover 43 percent, and federal nearly 4 percent. The remaining $8.2 million is covered by fund balance and other sources of revenue, according to budget documents provided during the work session.
Reynolds said school officials have worked to increase efficiency and control costs – budget documents showed 76 positions have been eliminated since the 2012 fiscal year, leaving HCPS with 5,108.8 total personnel.
She said reductions in the amount requested from the county would hurt the school system's ability to deliver educational services at the current level.
"We can no longer do more with less, or even maintain with less," Reynolds explained.
Councilman Dion Guthrie asked Tomback how school officials are "weighing reductions versus a flatline budget."
Guthrie explained later that a "flatline budget" would mean the schools were funded at the same level as the current year.
Tomback replied that a "flat budget" would not cover increased school system expenses.
Business services costs, including $1.5 million more for employee pensions in the wake of the state requiring local school districts to take on more pension costs, are projected to rise by $2.5 million next year.
Even with the county executive giving the schools less than they requested, education expenses – including $221.3 million for HCPS, $14.9 million for Harford Community College and $80,000 for the School for the Blind – takes up 48 percent of the county's FY 2014 budget, and is the largest line item in the budget.
