I usually try to avoid most things NFL-related, but the draft is a bit different. The reason I believe it's such a popular event and lays waste to the MLB Draft, NHL Draft, and even the NBA Draft is because it's where America's two most popular sports collide. The intrigue of seeing where "your guy" ends up and who your NFL team-of-choice selects are undoubtedly interesting. So for us fans of the college game, it's sometimes worth it for us to see what the guys we've watched and scrutinized for roughly four years go on to do with their talent. So, let's start up a mock draft (and no, this is absolutely NOT a cheap post designed for Google search engine hits....!!):
1. St. Louis Rams
The Situation: The Rams are in desperate need for a lot of additions in key spots. Their offensive line sucks, their quarterback situation sucks (former West Texas A&M QB Keith Null is their third stringer and played horrifically in relief duty this year and Boller looks like he's not returning), and plenty of other things are in need of major repair. Head coach Steve Spagnuolo came in preaching defense, but it was to no avail with the Rams ranking 31st in points allowed and 29th in yards allowed per game. In other words, St. Louis is a disaster zone.
Who They Should Draft: Nebraska DT Ndamukong Suh. Suh is a beast on so many levels and with the first pick in the draft, I'd find it hard not to go with the biggest, most physical defensive player. More than anything, the Rams need a guy to plug up the middle and break through the line with the occasional pressure. It's not just a matter of his Big 12 Championship dominance against the Longhorns, either. People who are saying Gerald McCoy is the best DT in this draft is falling in love more with the apparent physique versus the actual on-field product.
Who They Will Draft: Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen. While I think the Rams need a defensive lineman above all else (after all, that's how teams are built in the NFL), QB is a close second in need. So with that said, it'll come down to either Jimmy Clausen or Sam Bradford. Clausen was more productive in college (well, last year) and so far, the NFL scouts are really liking him over Bradford, but Bradford had the edge coming in. If St. Louis wants a QB, it's 50/50 Clausen/Bradford. I think they'll take the Notre Dame QB who does need some seasoning after just spending most of 2009 chucking the ball to Golden Tate, but I would say he has more upside over Bradford.
2. Detroit Lions
The Situation: Ugh. If you read this site with any bit of frequency, you know I'm from Michigan and I watch the Lions lose....A LOT. It happens every year, it's been over a decade since they were last competitive (and it took the best RB in NFL history in order to arrange that). So, yeah, they were 2-14 in Jim Schwartz's first season, but that is a two game differential versus 2008, where they infamously lost all 16 games in which they played. They have a young QB in Matthew Stafford to build around, the best WR in the game who hasn't been utilized properly in Calvin Johnson, and the defense is a mess. Right now, their major needs are at CB, the D-line, and anywhere on the O-line but preferably the interior.
Who They Should Draft: Nebraska DT Ndamukong Suh. Again, I actually think the Lions would be well-justified in trading this pick because above all else, they need capable bodies. After 8 years of Millen, 2008 was the result and in that offseason, the Lions signed a few outcasted veterans just as stop-gap players. Now in order to build, they need draft picks aplenty. However, it'll be really hard to pass up on a player with the talent of Suh. He's just too powerful and dominant at his position. Even if he was overrated, the worst-case scenario is that Suh develops into an above-average tackle and that's something Detroit hasn't had since Luther Ellis.
Who They Will Draft: Nebraska DT Ndamukong Suh. There's some chatter that the Lions are really interested in McCoy and that if it came down to Suh versus McCoy that GM Martin Mayhew would select McCoy, but that's more than likely just posturing. It's leaked out that the Lions have been talking to Suh more than any other athlete in the draft his year.
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Situation: The Buccaneers had a difficult season under Raheem Morris after Jon Gruden was tossed to the wayside, but scanning this roster, things could have been worse than 3-13. It's interesting that the Bucs were as atrocious offensively as they were though. There was some turmoil at QB with Byron Leftwich starting for roughly the first half of the year and then former Kansas State stud Josh Freeman filling in. So the Bucs aren't going to be in the market for a QB with their first rounder last year spent on him.Morris is a defensive guy, so he'll be looking to improve that side of the ball even though the O may need the most attention.
Who They Should Draft: Oklahoma DT Gerald McCoy. With Suh off the board, the Bucs have to try and find an answer for the opponent's rushing offense. Teams that played the Bucs shied away from facing their secondary in favor of pounding the rock. It worked considering Tampa allowed 158 yards per game rushing which was bad enough for the last spot in the NFL. McCoy is athletic and large, so he's kind of like Suh in the mold that he's a dual-threat against the run and the pass.
Who They Will Draft: Oklahoma DT Gerald McCoy. Again, the Bucs need a run-stopper and McCoy fits the bill. They need a big body up front and obviously McCoy offers that. I'm not sure if Chris Hovan is coming back, but McCoy would be able to team up well with him. Again, even though the biggest weakness is against the run and McCoy's strength is giving a pass rush to the interior, either way it's good for Tampa. His run defense is better than adequate.
4. Washington Redskins
The Situation: Dealing with Dan Snyder is difficult, but Mike Shanahan may be the perfect type of person to deal with him. While he and Bruce Allen will be making most of the personnel decisions, I think there's enough freedom for Shanahan to get the guys that he wants. The Skins were a disappointment, obviously, but there is enough talent there to make a run at the wild card in 2010 if they get a couple breaks. Snyder is going to spend some money this offseason to fill in the holes, except in that one spot where there aren't a lot of viable options currently in free agency, which leads me too.....
Who They Should Draft: Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford. The quarterback position is the one without a lot of free agent options, and then again, none of those options would be a considerable improvement over Jason Campbell. We know Shanahan is going to run and Snyder will buy a couple defensive athletes, but QB is a spot that can't be filled that easily. Bradford obviously has some shoulder issues and his frailty is going to give owners some pause, but with Clausen off of the board, the Redskins will almost be forced to go with the Oklahoma QB.
Who They Will Draft: Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford. If it's not Bradford, it'll be Clausen. Either way, QB is the only draft pick that makes sense. Selecting Okung is a possibility if, and that's a big if, Shanahan is really comfortable with Jason Campbell behind center. It does seem however that whenever a new sheriff is in town that a QB is usually the first thing they focus on. Shanahan will want a QB to mold, and according to my draft board, he'll find that in Bradford.
5. Kansas City Chiefs
The Situation: The Chiefs didn't have a fantastic year by any stretch of the imagination under Todd Haley, but they found some things they could build on. With Pioli in charge, they spent the money on former USC backup Matt Cassel. While Cassel was dissed often as being a bust outside of the New England framework, he did have some flashes of success. This brings me to my next point: The biggest need looks like it'll come either in the secondary or on the offensive line. With the hiring of Romeo Crennell and Charlie Weis bringing them together on the same sideline, it'll be interesting to see which direction they go.
Who They Should Draft: Tennessee S Eric Berry. Kansas City needs a rock in pass protection, but they could also use a guy in the defensive backfield. Safeties rarely get drafted this high, but if they ever will, Berry fits the description. He's a rangy athlete, a great tackler, and excellent in coverage. He would remind me of an Ed Reed clone with a similar frame and set of skills.
Who They Will Draft: Oklahoma State OT Russell Okung. There's a lot to like about either player the Chiefs are interested primarily in. Berry would solidify the secondary and Okung would give them a franchise offensive lineman. Okung though has the lead because Haley wants to give an added boost to an underrated rushing offense and better side protection for Cassel. I don't think passing on Berry would really be a mistake here. Okung has great work ethic and will become an elite offensive lineman in the NFL.

People today are under a tremendous amount of stress, and when your body is stressed, your energy supply can quickly become depleted. Your body does have a back up energy source, the adrenal glands, but many people experience prolonged stress which results in adrenal burnout. Adrenal burnout occurs when your adrenal glands are simply unable to keep up with the energy your body requires to manage the stress of daily life.

These nutrients help your body convert carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into energy and support sustained release energy to help you deal with stress.

Celebrities, they're just like us, right?
That's what US Weekly surely wants us to believe and who are we to dispute something US Weekly wants us to believe?
That must mean that the people we see every day in the news, social network, blogosphere, or ultra-exclusive nightclub have favorite things. They must have a favorite yoga pose at least, like everyone else. It's what separates us from the Cleveland fans.

Wessington Springs, SD (KELO AM) - The Red Cross and other aid organizations rushed to Wessington Springs, in some cases just hours after the tornado hit on Wednesday.
Red Cross Dakotas Spokesman Brian Shawn says they've handed out thousands of meals and thousands of snacks to both tornado victims and to National Guard members and other emergency responders helping with the recovery.
Shawn says they have a mobile food wagon that actually goes out into the damaged neighborhoods with food and drinks. He estimates that the Red Cross will be in the small town at least for a couple more weeks.
Any business, organization or individual wishing to help Wessington Springs residents impacted by the tornado is urged to donate to the Wessington Springs Relief fund by contacting the Red Cross. To donate, visit the Red Cross website at www.redcross.org and designate your donation for Wessington Springs or call 1-800-Red-Cross.
Cash donations designated to the Wessington Springs Relief Fund may also be dropped off at American Bank & Trust locations in Wessington Springs, Alpena, Huron, Wolsey, Miller, Huron-Walmart, Pierre, Mellette and De Smet.
Resident Dave Hook calls it the second worst tornado he has seen in his lifetime, after the twister that tore through the town of Spencer in the late 90's. Hook estimated that a third of the town received damage from the storm.
Hook, who has been chasing storms since he was young, said he watched the storm cut a path through town from his living room. After the storm left he immediately went outside to check on his neighbors and begin cleaning up. He said the National Guard and other officials have set up a base at the school parking lot and have begun the process of trucking debris out of town.
Community leaders are working to establish a donation-reception center and are preparing a list of community needs. Once local leaders have identified what the community needs for its recovery, that list will be announced and donations will be gratefully accepted.
South Dakota Senator John Thune (R) toured the tornado damage on Friday.

The new domain names that will be a game-changer for brands
Applications for a new generation of internet domain names open in the new year that aim to revolutionise search and beef up security. Can brands afford not to join the party?
'Dotbrand' might sound like yet another buzzword, but in less than three months it could have a significant impact on a brand's digital strategy because it offers marketers the opportunity to graft an additional domain name onto their organisation's web address and enhance both its SEO strategy and defence against online counterfeit operations.
Deloitte, Canon, Hitachi, Motorola and Unicef have already said that they want to file for a .brand address, also known as a generic top level domain (gTLD). If successful, that would allow Canon, for example, to register .canon as a domain name.
Although the $185,000 (£118,000) cost of applying for a .brand domain name and yearly running costs of up to $200,000 (£127,500) may appear prohibitive, global brands cannot afford to ignore this opportunity because the open nature of the new gTLDs - allowing for the registration of common words and brand names - means there is likely to be a whole new way of surfing the web from the end of next year.
In much the same way that many consumers simply type what they are looking for into a search engine rather than remembering a URL, .brand domains will essentially allow a brand name to become an entire web address, giving the brand owner freedom to create its own sub-domains.
For example, if McDonald's was to register .mcdonalds as a new domain, it could also open up countless sub-domains such as menu.mcdonalds, olympics.mcdonalds, jobs.mcdonalds, down to individual store locations such as oxfordstreet.mcdonalds. Individual store managers could even have their own page, with their name ahead of the .mcdonalds domain.
In the case of a department store or online retailer, brands could even issue customers their own pages, opening the way for real personalisation opportunities.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (Icann) - which is running the application process - is highlighting such uses as one of the main benefits of .brand. It claims that owning their domain names will give brands unprecedented control over their web presence, while getting even closer to customers all in the name of loyalty and engagement.
Not only could .brand enhance a brand's SEO strategy with greater connections to relevant search terms, but it could also help in the fight against online fraudsters, who set up fake websites, and cybersquatters.
These online defences against counterfeit operations should be top of mind for those considering whether .brand is worth the investment, according to Simon Briskman, digital specialist and partner at law firm Field Fisher Waterhouse. "Counterfeiters will still be out there, but in time I think the new domain names will give brands an absolute stamp of authenticity," he says.
Trademark protection
But for the growing list of brands to publicly announce their intention to file for a .brand domain, which also includes cities such as London and Berlin (see Dotbrand: What brands are doing so far, far right), protecting their brand trademark is just a small part of why they want to get involved.
Many interested parties cite increased audience accessibility and communications as the reasons for their interest in .brand. Indeed, Deloitte specifically sees it as a way to reflect its ideals of innovation and being a market leader.
Not only could .brand enhance a brand's SEO strategy with greater connections to relevant search terms, but it could also help in the fight against online fraudsters
Deloitte online communications leader Bill Barrett explains: "Some of the aspects are unknown, but being a first mover has risks and great rewards. It aligns with Deloitte's positioning around being innovative and one step ahead." (see Viewpoint, below)
Barrett says the professional services firm is conducting a thorough cost/benefit analysis, and that there is support all round for the potential value it could bring to the business. He adds that businesses should understand the implications of their competitors having a .brand domain and that companies that have been abreast of developments from the beginning will have the upper hand.
The success of .brand will also rely on consumer take-up of this new way to browse the web. However, there are further promising insights for .brand, with 60% of consumers saying they simply type a brand name into a search engine and only 25% saying they remember website addresses, according to a YouGov poll run last month for consultancy Melbourne IT.
Additionally, 85% agreed that companies should help consumers to distinguish between real and counterfeit sites - something .brand has potential to alleviate.
Icann will not be running a marketing campaign to inform consumers of the change so the onus will be on brands to educate their audiences, which is one of the reasons why Deloitte's Barrett says it will feature its new .deloitte domains heavily in marketing collateral. This will follow the pattern of Facebook pages and Twitter hashtags featuring in current advertising campaigns, he adds.
Icann chief executive Rod Beckstrom insists his organisation is there to establish the guidelines and oversee the application process, rather than push benefits of the new scheme. And it will be up to companies to educate consumers about new ways to find them online.
"The introduction of a .brand domain is almost like a logo change, and new marketing will need to be done," he says. "But I think word will spread pretty fast. You are talking about some pretty major entities in the world that will have their name after the dot and their collective marketing power greatly exceeds that of Icann."
Icann vice-president of communications and marketing Barbara Ann Clay warns that companies should carefully weigh up the risks of taking a .brand domain name because these will also be different for different businesses.
"A brand should have a creative in-house team that can take this and run with it," she says. "There are many risks involved that all need to be considered, but innovation is at the core of great marketing."
Innovation is certainly a brand characteristic Deloitte is hoping to leverage through its .brand strategy, but Barrett acknowledges that if the risks began to outweigh the benefits it would withdraw from the application process.
"There is always the chance that we could end up at a point where we might not be able to justify the investment costs," he says. "But we see a lot of potential value in it so far, and I think our competitors do too."
Bill Barrett, online communications leader, Deloitte
We started looking at filing for a .brand address several years ago and when it was confirmed last autumn we put it into high gear. We are doing a full assessment of the opportunities, the benefits, the risks, the governance, costs and operational impact.
From a branding and business standpoint this does seem like the right thing to do. It sets us apart from the pack - being a first mover has risks but also great rewards. It offers improved accessibility certainly from a client standpoint. We could have innovation.deloitte or tax.deloitte, which would be more intuitive than the long URLs we have today.
It gives us some flexibility for the future, as we roll out mobile initiatives and products. We wouldn't then have to go out and bid on other domains. And for security, if everything sits on your own brand domain, it's more authentic and your clients can feel comfortable that it's your real site.
We have spent a lot of time looking at the cost, but if you step back and look at what you spend in other areas of marketing, such as printed brochures or an advertising campaign, those costs can get high too.
There is the risk that perhaps this won't become the hot new thing. But there is also the risk that if this does take off, you may have actually fallen behind your competition.
Dotbrand: What brands are doing so far
Canon - "Canon will make full use of the .canon domain name to increase the convenience and effectiveness of its online communications."
Unicef - "As time goes on, a name such as www.donations.unicef or www.cards.unicef will become more intuitive in a more crowded internet space."
London & Partners, on behalf of the city of London - "We believe that owning the .london domain name will not only generate increased opportunities for the promotion of the capital, but will achieve benefits for businesses and organisations across the city."
Dotbrand explained
The .brand application period through Icann will run from 12 January to 12 April 2012. The list of applicants will be published in April 2012, with evaluations to proceed through to November, when the outcomes will be announced. The next chance to apply will be in 2015.
Alongside .brand domains, Icann is inviting organisations to register more generic terms, such as .hotel, .bank, .music, .london or .nyc. The registrars could then sell sub-domains onto smaller organisations. For example, independent stores could register their trading name under the relevant category.
If a category-led domain holder has specific criteria for its category, it must enforce that criteria equally, for example, stipulating that sub-domains of .bank will be awarded to banks only and sub-domains of .eco will be awarded to environmental organisations.
Icann will favour trademark holders for trademarked brand names but will award the registration of common word domains to open communities over brands. For example, HMV would be the likely winner of .hmv, but it would not be granted .music. Once registered, .music could then be the home of sub-domains for smaller businesses to register.
A brand with a common word name such as Apple could face a battle from an organisation such as an apple growers' union. However, a brand could settle privately with the opposing organisation.
Brands can file an objection if they feel someone is infringing on their trademark. If two parties are applying for the same domain name, a panel of experts outside Icann will decide which is the rightful candidate. If no resolution can be achieved it will be awarded to the highest bidder at auction.

Readers' comments (5)
Another part of this same process and the only part that is a matter of necessity rather then a matter of choice are new gTLDs in non latin characters (DomainNames.com in Chinese,Japanese,Russian,Arabic)
Just another scheme by ICAAN to separate companies and people from their money.
For most brands, trying to establish their .brand in the minds of consumers will be like trying to drain the ocean with a drinking straw.
What most articles about the new top level domains (TLDs) fail to address or glibly gloss over is the fact that there are millions of existing .co.uk and .com websites that have been, are being, and will continue to be advertised and marketed by their owners, be they large corporates, SMEs, non-profits, individuals or other entities.
The owners of all these domain names have collectively spent hundreds of billions of pounds over the last 15 years burning into our collective consciousnesses that "a web address is something that ends in .co.uk or .com".
Talk about branding. "dot co dot uk" and "dot com" have brand recognition that a McDonalds or a Coca Cola marketing executive couldn't conceive of in their wildest dreams, let alone bring themselves to believe they could one day emulate! It's only because they're not "owned" by a single entity that these expressions don't head the "top UK brands" list year after year.
And it's not just about online advertising - far from it. Every time a web address appears on TV, in a newspaper or magazine, on the side of a bus, on a billboard, on a tradeshow display, in a brochure or leaflet, on an invoice or letterhead, on a business card, as part of an email address, or in hundreds of other forms, it's serving to reinforce those 2 giga-brands: ".co.uk" and ".com".
This pent-up momentum in favour of the status quo will not be overturned by a .brand, no matter how large the company backing it. People often talk about winner-take-all scenarios in particular markets. Well, ".com" and ".co.uk" have just about as close to 100% mindshare as it is possible to get.
A string such as menu.mcdonalds will simply not be recognised as a web address by the vast majority of people who see it, and it certainly will be less memorable than the current method of going to mcdonalds.co.uk (the "instantly obvious" place to find information about McDonalds in the UK) then looking for the "Menu" link. At best, it will be considered a typo. At worst, it will make no impact of any kind.
ICANN is pulling out all the stops to market the new TLD concept, and it's easy to see why. Here's an organisation that's collecting approximately US$8 a year from .com registrations, faced with the prospect of banking 23,000x as much as an up-front fee for a single new TLD, plus the equivalent of 25,000 .com fees in annual renewal costs (to use the figures from your own article).
Marketing agencies and brand consultants love the idea as well, because they know it will be an excuse for their clients to spend billions on trying (and - whisper it now - failing) to rebrand their web addresses.
However, it's time to face reality. Global .com alternatives such as .info and .biz have been around for a decade, yet have failed to gain significant recognition despite having a combined registration base in the millions. More recently, extensions such as .mobi have appeared with great fanfare and excitement, then effectively disappeared from view again, without eliciting as much as a shrug from the majority of consumers who have remained oblivious to their existence.
And so it will come to pass for .brand extensions too. The questions any organisation considering a .brand strategy needs to ask itself are these: "Are we ready to flush millions of pounds away trying to hold back the tide, or will we heed the lessons of internet history and past TLD introductions and stand aside, and watch our competitors squander their resources? Do we continue to promote our existing web address, which we have pushed in every piece of marketing we have done over the last decade or more, or do we throw all that momentum on the bonfire that is .brand?"
A small correction to the figures in my earlier comment: ICANN only receives approximately $0.25 per .com registration per year, meaning that the annual renewal fee levied by ICANN on each new gTLD ($25,000) is equivalent to their rake on 100,000 .com renewals.
So it's no wonder they're bullish about the new gTLD launch! If they "sell" just 1,000 brands on the idea of getting their own .brand, they'll bring in as much from the renewals as they do from all 100,000,000 .coms out there!
As Edwin says, this is just another way of making money for ICANN. Fair enough, I suppose but for the companies buying the TLD (and they are TLDs not gTLDS. How can a domain '.macdonalds' be generic?) it will just be for vanity.
The article points out that using a .brand domain opens up a whole host of sub-domains. Is that an advantage? Really? Sub-domains are already available with the existing TLDs. What's stopping MacDonalds having menu.macdonalds.com now? It'll be a hell of a lot cheaper than £127.5k a year.
Also, people aren't going to go straight to a sub-domain. Similar sections of different companies websites are called all sorts of things. People don't remember those individual names for the sections, they go to the main page and click links.
The .brand domain may give a little bit of help with SERPs but I doubt it will do anything that a well optimised .com site can't do. Again, it'll also be cheaper too. Just because you're brand name is in the URL doesn't guarantee anything.
The security aspect is the only advantage I'm not too sure about, as I don't know much about running a TLD. But, if it's on the web, it can be hacked.
If Canon et al want to splash out on shiny new websites, it's their money. Just don't get let them convince you it's for anything more than vanity.

W7 Bootloader: Boot WinXP from logical during installation process?
I already have Windows 7 installed with the usual system reserved partition and main partition. Now I want to install both XP and Linux after it. To do this I need to have an extended/logical partition setup so that I can have enough room for Linux+Swap (1st System reserved, 2nd Windows 7, 3rd WinXP, 4th Linux, and 5th Swap). However, I'm stuck at installing XP.
I can get the initial install going using a BartPE environment. The problem is, that after the XP installer has copied the setup files to the target partition, it cannot then boot from that same partition to resume installation. It simply boots back into Windows 7.
I tried using EasyBCD to create an entry for WinXP so that I could select it in the bootloader, but it cannot create an entry (I'm assuming because nothing has actually been installed yet). How can I get my computer to boot into that XP logical partition to resume installation?
edit: Actually I may just forgo the swap partition and use a page file in Linux instead so I can have 4 primary partitions. Although if anyone knows the answer to the problem it would be nice to know.

Win7 x 6 PC's
I'm assuming you are not intending to use UEFI and have Bypassed UEFI to install normally.
You can convert Windows 7 partition (not the System Reserved) to Logical so that a Primary becomes available for XP. Video help on how to set partition as Primary or Logical.
Easiest is to repair Windows 7 by marking SysReserved Active after XP starts up, then booting into Windows 7 installer or Repair CD to run Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times until Windows 7 starts. Install EasyBCD to add XP.

Ok as I said before I think I'm going to go with 4 primary partitions; although, now I'm having the seemingly complex problem of installing WinXP from a usb drive (my cdrom broke).
I don't believe I have installed Windows 7 through UEFI? I install it using a usb and I boot the usb without the UEFI prefix in the boot menu so does that mean I haven't used UEFI?
Anyway my problem now is with installing WinXP on my 3rd partition. I have slipstreamed an XP install with Nlite using my AHCI drivers from Asus. I know the drivers are working because the XP installer has detected them in the past. The problem is that no matter what program I use to write the image to usb, I can't actually get to a fully working XP install. Sometimes I can get past the text mode installer and into the GUI, but then get stuck during the GUI install. Other times I get blue screens during the text mode portion. It's always something different.
Right now it seems my best chance is to use Rufus, an open source installer, but it blue screens while loading up the terms and license agreement. I'm going to see if I can solve that, unless there is a better way?

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
After growing up in the WDM School District in its heyday, it took a lot to admit to myself that Johnston was not the better place to send my daughter. And I loved the choice. New buildings, motivated teachers! Then we had the greatest shock of our lives... We had to move out of state. Treasure what you have here, neighbors. Feel blessed that parents come in and teach about their heritage, that the teachers take the time to know which students should work at what pace, and they allow them to work accordingly. Be THANKFUL that they have parents allowed to come in and help with kids who need a little more help with subjects they find tough. I miss being able to go in and help the 2nd grade kids work on their reading... I miss darn near everything about that school... We pay $12,000 a year now for our child to get a private school education. This week's spelling words in 4th grade, were words I know she had back in 1st grade. She studied clouds in Social Studies last week, but she already studied that in 2nd grade... There is no TAG in Private school. And now I'm going in to fight like heck to get her moved up a grade, because she is so bored in class, she falls asleep.*sigh*
We switched to Beaver Creek because it looked like it had so much to offer our gifted children. Instead, I had to pull my son out in 4 months to be homeschooled due to bullying. The administration talks a good talk, but does not enforce their no-tolerance policy. The kids have NO respect for anyone and are allowed to be this way (I watched them ridicule a visiting author to his face -- and right in front of a teacher and the superintendent -- and no one stopped them). We are not the only family who has pulled children from this school because of bullying and lack of administrative support. Also, their diversity measures need updating; we had to push for changes for our Asian daughter. They want to spread out the minority kids through the classes so more Caucasian children could experience "diversity"; we wanted her with another Asian child so she would not be the only non-white face in class. (Actually, the diversity problem is district-wide; I had to speak to the superintendent about several instances I saw in their schools.) It's a lovely facade. Be careful!
Beaver Creek has an amazing, caring staff. They also have wonderful programs to help the children in their school. My son was having such a hard time learning to read and was frustrated and ready to give up. They put him in a reading recovery program and in just a couple of weeks I watched my son's confidence boom and he is doing amazing at reading the books that are sent home. He actually wants to try. The principal is a wonderful man who greets the kids at the front door when they come in and also takes the time to read to the classrooms. He also lets the students from the reading recovery program come in to read to him! We are so grateful to have our sons in such an amazing school!
Our students consistently perform above the national and state averages on the ITBS tests. Parent involvement is very high, with excellent conference attendance and a vibrant PTO!

Nursing Home (Skilled Nursing) Care
Our Nursing Home care is for those who need assistance with the activities of daily living whether for long term care or short term care while recovering or undergoing rehabilitation. Our nursing home, rehabilitation facility and Alzheimer's/Dementia unit are all part of our Skilled Nursing services.
Together with residents and their families, we have a proud tradition of creating a community for productive living filled with warmth, humor and peace of mind. Our nurses have the specialized training necessary to provide wound care, IV therapies and post surgical care—all while not forgetting how important it is to include kindness and encouragement. We provide 24-hour skilled nursing care staffed by Registered Nurses and Licensed Practical Nurses around the clock.
Our team of health care professionals meets with each resident and family members to develop an individualized plan of care. As needs change, the care plan is adjusted accordingly with resident and family participation in regular resident conferences. Our in-house physical, occupational, and speech therapists continually monitor resident needs and goals, and we provide home safety assessments to ease the transition back home (if a short term stay).
The key to our excellent care reputation is exceptionally low staff turnover and constant in-service training. Our competitive wages and on-campus Children's Day Care and Learning Center are central to attracting experienced, talented caregivers. We use no agency subcontracted staff, so residents and rehab clients benefit by receiving care from professionals they get to know like family.
Specialty Nursing Care Provided
Nursing care includes management of disease such as congestive heart failure, diabetes mellitus, Parkinson's Disease, and dementia to name a few.
Wound Care Program
Wound care is led by a nurse practitioner certified in wound care, and the Director of Nursing is a Certified Wound Specialist.
Pain Management
Pain management is led by the Assistant Director of Nursing who is making strides at becoming an individual certified in Pain Management.
Palliative Care
Palliative care is an interdisciplinary team providing care for our residents/families who have determined comfort is the goal and aggressive treatment is no longer an option. Volunteers and staff visit these residents on a regular basis and the services of a chaplain is also available.
At Pines our caring team works with residents to help them maintain control and independence in their lives by providing just the right level of support. You can feel at peace with your loved one cared for at Pines of Sarasota.

There are a few wide receivers in the NFL, who, as a defender you need to worry about even when they don't have the ball. Yes, they're dangerous with the ball in their hands but some might argue they're just as dangerous without it. One such player would be Larry Fitzgerald of the Arizona Cardinals. Another such player would be Anquan Boldin of the San Francisco 49ers, who introduced himself to Tennessee Titans defensive back Alterraun Verner this afternoon with a nasty block.
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has been running wild on the Titans' defense today, much of it thanks to some well crafted blocks from his position players. The Niners quarterback was able to spring a fancy touchdown scramble earlier in the game thanks to a solid knee-chop block from Frank Gore, though it wasn't nearly as nasty as the block from Anquan Boldin which I'm sure Verner will be feeling for a few days.
As Kaepernick rounded the corner, Boldin zeroed in on Verner who had his eyes set on the Niners quarterback, never realizing he was about to get knocked off his feet.
Laying the boom.

text: Killer whales stop reproducing in their 30's or 40's and dedicate the rest of their lives to looking after their children and grandchildren. Sons and daughters do not disperse from their social group and live with their mother their entire lives. A male killer whale will go to another group to mate with a female there, but will return to his mother's group. Researchers expect to find that having a female around who no longer reproduces greatly increases the chances of children and grandchildren surviving.
