I'd keep Dale first. We need him more than we need James right now.
I'd keep Dale. Assuming the price is about the same
I'd keep James. While we don't really need more SF's, I see him as a very good future player and a good long term investment. (Admittedly, I thought the same about Bender... in 2002)!
This is easy. Dale is old and his skills are declining, JJ is young and his skills are coming around very nicely.
But I'd rather drop one of our other players and keep both.
Welcome to Pacers Digest! New around here? Here are three tips for making the forum a great place to talk about Pacers basketball.
- Log in. Even if you want to read instead of post, it's helpful because it lets you:
- Change your signature options. You can hide all signatures by choosing "Settings" (top right) then "General Settings" (middle left) and unchecking the box "Show Signatures" (in the "Thread Display Options" area).
- Create an ignore list. I know it may seem unneighborly. But you're here to talk about the Pacers, not argue with someone who's just looking for an argument. Most of the regular users on here make use (at least occasionally) of the "Ignore" feature. Just go to "Settings" -> "Edit Ignore List" and add the names.
Enjoy your time at PD!
Go for the top - I'm hungry for the win and I want to see the Pacers fitted for thier rings this year. Even at 10 minutes a game, Dale brings something in the here and now that JJ just can't.
Later, James. Thanks for everything and good luck spending all the cash from your big contract on another team. I hope we won't meet in the playoffs.
This is a very hard choice. Keep Dale the vet,for what we need now, a big man to battle the Wallace's and such.
Or keep James Jones, the young forward who's skills are improving and will be good in a matter of years.
It's a case of Now vs Future.
I'm sick of hearing about the future or "wait 'till next year" .
So I choose to keep Dale.
Super Bowl XLI Champions
2000 Eastern Conference Champions
bye bye Gill..... but seeing as we still have Pollard I'll say Keep James, it's tough because i love Dale and he's a true pacer at heart but James is aaaaigghhhttt
if Harrison doesen't get 12-6 this year then bugga...
Ya Think Ya Used Enough Dynamite there Butch...
I absolutely Love Dale, I always have, and I was really crushed when he was traded. I really want him to spend the rest of his career in Indy and get a proper send off and I think that he brings game with him. He is, however, getting older, and thats where I am at a crossroads.
I've said it before, and I still believe it, James Jones has amazing potential, he has such a Reggie-type glow around him.I think that it would be totally cold to just get rid of Dale, there is too much history there, too much of....something; however, if we get rid of JJ, I think that would be a HUGE mistake.
So for now, I say toss Bender, because Dale, though old, could play more than 72 games over 6 seasons,and he really really brings it and has more of a mind for the game.
Life without water is tough, life without air is hard,life with one leg only is wobbly, Life without Reggie Miller, is impossible.

He would be a great teacher to Hulk and ideal for spot minutes (share them with polly) but you have to wonder how much that is worth.
It is not a question of either but a matter of what does DD accept to stay, and he has a history of demanding slightly more then realistic or available.
DD has a great chance of playing for a real contender in a place he says he loves, if that means or 2 million less, then the choice is his, not ours.
JJ has far more upside, and I keep saying I see him slowly moving from the SF position to (either, depending on Rick) backup PF or, far more likely, backup SG.
I still see in JJ the future SG of this team, but I seem to be alone in that thought, so if we keep him we'll talk about that again in a year or two.
If you have to choose between the evening and the morning, there is no real choice to be made, but if you can not sustain the night, you better go for the morning because the evening will come eventually, while if you choose the evening, it might become night sooner then you think.
So Long And Thanks For All The Fish.
If you've done 6 impossible things today?
Then why not have Breakfast at Milliways!
Don't think JJ is gonna be cheap. As more and more FA's re-sign with their own teams, that leaves the space-heavy teams desperate for signings. Hell, if Miami loses Damon, they alone will throw a good deal of money at JJ.
Not to pull a Peck, but if JJ blows up, where exactly would we play him? He's still gonna be behind Jack, Ron, and (hopefully) Granger. Add in recently acquired 2-guard Cabbage, and the argument could be made there's no room for either of the Jones boys.
As for whom to pick, JJ's the better prospect, hell, he could be the better player this year. But signing him would be superfluous now. We need a big body, especially if we cut Cro or trade Pollard. I'd rather it be Dale Davis than John Edwards.
Come to the Dark Side -- There's cookies!
As much as it pains me to say I'd keep JJ.
ok in which case: expect the MLE to be around 5.7 this year, therefore we have about 2 million left to sign DD, if that is to little, then sorry .
So Long And Thanks For All The Fish.

DURHAM, N.C. - Junior Nick McCrory was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Male Diver of the Week for the second time this season, as announced Tuesday by the conference office.
McCrory paced the Blue Devil diving corps in last Saturday's regular season dual meet finale at North Carolina, sweeping the men's 1-meter and 3-meter springboard competitions. The Chapel Hill, N.C., native posted season-highs and NCAA Zone Diving Championship qualifying marks in both events, garnering a score of 404.70 on the 1-meter board and a score of 416.25 at the 3-meter height.
Following last weekend's action, McCrory currently leads the ACC in 1-meter springboard diving and ranks fourth in the 3-meter event.
McCrory and the Duke divers return to action Feb. 20-23 at the ACC Championships in Greensboro, N.C.

Mathew Clarke, Hamburg MUN (December 2012), "In December 2012 I went to Hamburg to take part in a Model United Nations (MUN) Conference with the MUN Society at the University. The experience was eye opening allowing me see how to apply the topics I had learnt at Birmingham to a real world event. While I had been to other non-MUN conferences, which were not with the university, both in the UK and around the world this was a truly unique event."

JOHNSONBURG – The Johnsonburg junior varsity girls basketball team was honored with a banquet recently at Johnsonburg Area High School.
Junior varsity head coach Ellie Kocjancic spoke about the teamwork displayed by the players this season.
"We had a small team but they all played very well together," Kocjancic said. "Nobody ever gave up. We had a lot of injuries. Everybody stepped up when they needed to. I think we had a great season."

The purpose of Jesus's art was to give verbal, visual, and dramatic forms to those complicated and confounding relationships, symmetries, and harmonies between himself, the father and spirit, and between the triune God and the world… Such creative expressions did not and do not make everything clear, but rather resist simple clarity, forcing their hearers to come at the whole complicated truth from a position of intellectual and spiritual humility.
When the boxer and the biologist collided that November evening, they both had a substantial following, and they presented a sharp contrast to the audience: a pugilistic, self-educated fundamentalist evangelist against a suave, sophisticated science writer. When it comes right down to it, not all that different from Ken Ham versus Bill Nye, except that Ham has a couple of earned degrees where Rimmer had none.
The great irony lies here: these partisans are actually leading good-hearted people to reject their faith, precisely because these partisans have convinced these good-hearted people that they must accept a false dichotomy.
We don't have all the answers and never will. And when God says that he is revealed in his creation, I think that means we need to take care of what we have and understand where we came from. The more I understand how things work, the bigger God gets. When he was just a magician pulling things out of a hat, that doesn't even compare to how I see him now!
This week in origins news is a rousing medley of articles about science and faith, from multiple angles. Some classics on science, religion, and the classroom along with some probing into where atheists come from, new resources from John Polkinghorne, and an off-the-beaten-path blog post.
Bethel was where I learned that the science that I loved could be a Christian calling. Before that I had a vague notion that truly serving God meant being a pastor or missionary. Here I learned that in every profession you can love God with heart and soul and mind and strength, studying God's world with your mind and caring for it with your hands.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.

I am the sad owner of an Optrel Satellite OSE Evolution welding mask. I purchased the mask three years ago. I have used it no more than 40 times. I paid over $380 for the mask. It was supposed to be the super duper state of the art mask that would give my eyes the best protection humanly possible. At the time, I was learning to weld at the local tech school for adult continuing education. I know that I only have one set of eyes. I would not skimp on something so important in life.
So here goes my saga. I started doing some welding again a few months ago. I was having trouble with my eyes twitching. I stopped welding for a couple days figuring my problems was probably from reading. I do computer networking for my main source of income. I also own a marina and do everything under the sun to generate revenue at the marina. With the crappy economy, the marina is on the back burner since disposable income is at an all time low. I took a job doing some small welding to a trailer frame. After two or three months of my eyes bothering me, I decided to go to the doctor. I went to a Dr Merrick Kane. He is one of the pioneers in Lasik technology and a doctor at the Wills Eye hospital in Philadelphia. Doctor Kane told me chances are my problem was eye strain related. So I dealt with the problem. My eyes stopped twitching for a while. Then I started welding again.
My problems came back. I asked around to a few welders in the area who work at the Philly Kaverner Ship yard. They all told me my problem was with the mask. Something about certain wavelengths of light traveling through the mask, while the important ones were blocked.
I then looked at my mask. I tried to put the mask in grind mode. Grind mode will not black out the mask when sparks are present. The mask would not go to grind mode. Now I know something is wrong with the mask. I then took my mask to the dealer (AIRGAS of Bensalem, PA), where I bought it. After a week of ignoring my calls and wasting my time, I called back and got the manager who told me the mask was made in 2004 and that the warranty is for only two years. I know I purchased the mask in September of 2004.
Bottom line is I have only used this mask less than 40 times. That breaks down to $10 per use. I am on the original clear cover.
If anyone here has any suggestion for how I should procede to help get a replacement for free, let me know. I think I am being realistic that a barely used mask should have held up better.
Thanks for any input with my problem.

Joe that might be a struggle. The fact that you claim you have used the helmet less than 40 times over a 4 year time frame just does not hold water to anyone that works on that side of the counter...They have no idea how often you have used your helmet. In fact you might well have been wearing your helmet as daily wear for all they know.
That helmet has this feature:
"Eye Protection - Several LCD's and special filters provide permanent Shade 14 protection from dangerous UV and IR radiation, even in the unlikely event of total filter failure."
Even in the event of total failure you are getting Shade 14 UV and IR protection. Yet you say you are having problems with your eyes. You very well might have over sensitive eyes. Plus what shade are you using on the helmet.
I own that helmet and I cannot say enough good about it.Don

I have a Optrel about the same age with lots of time on it.
Not had any issues with it or my eyes.
I'd recommend contacting Optrel directly and see if they would
offer any help. Often a end user will have better luck than
a actual dealer handling with some issues. It is out of warranty
but some companys have some written/unwritten "goodwill"
policies that may help.
I'd stay out of the long tale of eyesight woe and just state that the
grind function died. Be nice!

Since you are misinformed about the helmet, there is an original clear cover and an original head band; both are different from the replacement items. This was pointed out to me by the person at the counter of the local supply shop. Also, the number of scratches on the plastic parts of the helmet would show how much use the helmet has. I buy all of my welding supplies from the place, so they pretty much know I am telling them the truth. Any person who is behind the counter that would counter the claim would never get a dime of my business again.
I use the 9-13 range, 10 setting and fast delay.
I am still finding it hard to believe that a product that markets itself as the best in eye protection can have such poor response and policies to potential problems with customers.
It is possible that my eyes have changed, but the lack of ability to put my helmet in grinding mode, one of the big selling points for the helmet, should be a concern to the company.

try a longer delay
I weld on light steel, mig welding, and probably strike 1,500 arcs a day sometimes. I use the auto shade set at 12 and a medium delay. A short delay will often give me tired eyes by lunch and a #10 shade will make me see spots. A medium delay will let the puddle dim a little bit. The darkening in the lens may not be uniform either.

Thanks for the info. I have tried the 12 setting. No real changed in the puddle I see when welding.
There is no medium setting, only fast or slow.
I really never saw spots, just the twitching in my eyes.
I would contact the mfg. Counter people do not weld and good help is hard to find. BUT mfgs ARE scared of lawsuits.
I find electronics work better when used frequently sometimes...I would twist all the knobs and flip all the switches many times and weld with it a bunch.

I have an Optrel Satelite that is approximately a year old. I work away from home as a merchant seaman, and my hood sits in the dark for upwards of two months. If I try to use it straight from the bag, I will get flashed and the grind mode will not work. If I allow it to sit out for a couple hours it works just fine.
I also have a Miller Elite, which I take to work with me. I prefer the Optrel due to the better visibility. I don't take it because some folks at work have sticky fingers.
Leon, what color shirts are you wearing, light colors are very bad for reflecting UV and then bouncing them inside the helmet, laundry detergents actually have UV reflective agents in them to make clothes look brighter. go to dark clothes and make sure the helmet is down far enough to prevent light from sneaking underneath, hope this helps,PaulMore Spark Today Please

Do you have any symptoms of UV damage like "sand in the eye" or burning sensation the night after welding or seeing a light haze almost like there is slight smoke in the room? If not you might be condemning the helmet for something it is not directly a part of. ether way don't take any chances with you eyes use fresh batteries or charged helmet or try a standard glass helmet and see if the problem persists.
I got singed a little by using a a helmet I modified to fit a respirator under. I was using it for one of the typical little jobs that grows. I was not using the respirator and the unblocked opening let in enough UV to give me a toasty chin and a slight eye burn.Weekend wannab racer with some welders.

Is the Gay Big-Room Club Dead?
Download Now
Nation. Universe. The Probe. Salvation.
All were gay big-room clubs - in Washington, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Miami Beach, respectively. All are closed, leaving behind nothing but happy, hazy memories of a time when thousands-strong crowds of shirtless party people packed the dance floor. At this point, only a few spots like them - you know, cavernous venues with capacity numbers that require a comma - remain in America. And none are specifically gay, cater to a gay clientele or even have a weekend night dedicated to a gay dance crowd. Which prompts the question: Is the gay big-room club scene dead?
In a word, it seems, yes. But don't mourn it too long. New options are being born to replace it.
"What happened to the rotary telephone? It's gone," said New York promoter Mark Nelson, who produces parties that range from "The F Word" at Splash to taking over the mammoth amusement park Six Flags/Great Adventure in rural New Jersey. His analogy is a good one: While we all still talk to one another on the phone, rotary dials eventually gave way to key pads, then cordless phones and finally mobiles and smart phones. The apparatus is basically the same, but with radical changes. Just as the telephone has evolved into a small jazzy do-everything digital wonder, similarly, so gay men still dance and party - but where and how has changed as drastically as that ancient telephone, with venues adapting to serve a new generation with different demands and desires.
It looks like the big-room dance club scene might be giving way to multifaceted gay entertainment complexes, gigaplexes - without the film screens - packing a number of hospitality options under one roof. Think of them as the multifunctional smart phones of nightlife.
NYC, Vegas & Seattle Lead the Way
Take XL Nightclub in New York. Owned and managed by super-promoter John Blair, who made his name running New York's legendary Roxy, the club is just one component of The OUT NYC, a gay-oriented "urban resort" boasting a hotel, restaurant, spa and courtyard hangouts. Certainly, the much smaller XL is no match for the Roxy, which on a typical Saturday night during its heyday hosted over 2,500 gay men and their friends (or the ones who could get past the velvet rope).
But there may be hope for the big room yet - and where else but in Las Vegas, where everything is oversized? In July, Krave Entertainment announced plans to transform an 80,000-square-foot space into Krave Massive, the world's largest gay nightclub. It will join another Krave-owned business in the same building, "Drink and Drag" (a drag queen-themed bar and bowling alley), and a third venue, a 20,000-square-foot pool and cabana space, is also on the drawing board. If it follows the ambitious plan, the combined result would become America's gay entertainment Mecca.
What makes it a minitrend, however, are just-announced plans for a massive gay nightclub being planned in Seattle. Q will be housed in a former garage, with the space divided into two sections: a southern hall and the central dance space and bars on the north end. The principals are Andy Rampi and Scott Smith. Smith was a partner in Blair's original XL, a large bar in Manhattan.
The Big-Room Appeal
Why are such subdivided spaces replacing traditional big gay-room clubs? Two reasons: cultural shifts and commercial shifts.
The appeal of the big-room club was always the sense of escapism it provides. Back in his early club days, "I was just a little blond boy," Nelson said. "You'd step into a club and do a hit of ecstasy, and you thought you were in Alice in Wonderland."
For gay men who came of age in the 1970s wanted to be among their own kind to battle what was still a hostile environment. Gay dance clubs represented "safe spaces" where they could be as free, outgoing and sexual as they wanted. The big rooms allowed for interpersonal connection within the community yet also granted liberating anonymity in the torso-baring crowds.
In the 1980s, the nightclub that most people - both gay and straight - embraced was the gay big room. The Saint was built in former rock palace the Fillmore East in Manhattan's East Village. It was a members-only club, although members could bring approved guests. Even now, it's mammoth, carefully designed sound system is considered state-of-the- art. The dance floor was mounted on a hydraulic system that "moved" along with the sway of the dancers. And it was open just one night a week, Saturday, when it would go for up to 18 hours. It's hard to imagine nearly 3,000 men having a weekly marathon dance "journey."

Le Parisien - the new Cafe de Paris
Hello Hounds
I just wanted to say that Le Parisien, in the former Cafe de Paris location on Denman and Alberni, is opening tomorrow!
The room has been renovated into an elegant but upbeat bistro with an expanded bar area and banquet seating in the centre of the room.
The menu looks very tasty, loaded with classic dishes like tartare, cassoulet and moules frites, plus a few surprises like oyster beignets. I'm *beyond* excited to see this space being used properly again. Like most Vancouver folk, Cafe de Paris was the place I first tried actual French food (mmmm, steak frites). And as much as I love the Brasserie, sometimes you just need a little gratin.
I am gathering a group of friends to go this weekend and will report back!
re: brokentelephone
Yes, that's correct. A longtime server from Pastis will lead the front of house, and the Pastis sous chef will helm the kitchen with Tobias Grignon overseeing both kitchens as Exec.
At a recent dinner at Pastis, John was telling us that it'll be a simpler, more casual bistro menu than at Pastis and that they'll also be open in the mornings for that shot of espresso before the work day.
Should be great! I look forward to reading your report NMS!
re: kinnickinnik
So I finally had a chance to sample a bunch of dishes at the newly-opened Le Parisien.
First, we tried a couple of oyster 'beignets'. I can't really pass up an oyster and these little fried bites were delicious. Also love that you can order them by the pair. So cute.
Next we tried a round of salads. The Lyonaise was probably my favourite - similar vinaigrette to Pastis' classic salad. The housemade bacon chunks were very good and it's served with a perfectly poached egg. The Warm Calamari salad was very tasty - nice use of olives and a good amount of squid. Lastly, the Salad Croquant, which consisted of shaved root vegetables either raw or very lightly cooked, roquefort cheese and candied walnuts.
Then onto a round of tartares - classic beef and west-coasty albacore tuna. Both were nicely done, though I think the beef was a touch better.
For mains, we tried the Boudin Noir, which my bf proclaimed to be the best he's had in years with fried onions and decadent mashed potatoes. The table shared an order of the cassoulet - nicely done toulouse sausage, duck confit and yet more of the magic slab bacon - and the onglet steak frites with peppercorn sauce. To top it off this heart-smart meal, we added sides of the mac and cheese (tasty; adult with an assertive but welcome hit of roquefort) and brussel sprouts with parm (another one I can't resist).
Dessert was pretty much out of the question at this point, even for a table of eaters, but we did peruse the menu which looked appropriately classic. Wine program is still settling down but the price-points looked right on. The room is warm but energetic.
The think the restaurant is an excellent addition to the neighbourhood and look forward to many more visits.
re: NoMoreSnuggles
Thanks for the report!
Oh my, that sounds as good as I'd imagined it would be. I hope to get down there soon!

The Safe Concussion Outcome Recovery & Education (SCORE) Program at Children's National Medical Center evaluates, monitors and manages the care of children and adolescents with concussions (mild traumatic brain injury or TBI). The program consults with physicians regionally and nationally, as well as scholastic and youth recreational sports programs in which children are vulnerable to injury.
The SCORE program is one of the only programs in the greater Washington, DC, area that specializes in the evaluation and management of concussions in children.
The program has four goals:
The SCORE clinic is staffed by neuropsychologists and neuropsychology post doctoral fellows who specialize in precise identification, monitoring and management of children, adolescents, and college student-athletes, ages 4-22, who have sustained concussion.
We offer clinical appointments on Tuesdays at our Rockville, MD location and Thursdays at the main hospital.
The program uses specialized state-of-the-art testing techniques, including computer assisted neuropsychological testing technology (e.g., ImPACT) sensitive in detecting concussion related dysfunction.
Clinicians in the SCORE program use these findings to make recommendations to patients about returning to school, play, and work.
Through research investigation the SCORE program aims to increase knowledge, skills, and instrumentation in the evaluation and treatment of children, adolescents, and young adults with mild TBI/concussion.
SCORE aims to improve the knowledge and skill of people in the medical, educational, and athletic community regarding the specific needs of individuals with mild TBI/ concussion. Faculty and fellows in the SCORE program disseminate the latest information to families, patients, school personnel, physicians and other health providers, and community agency personnel through seminars, workshops, in-services, and consultations.
If you are interested in participating in the SCORE baseline testing program, please contact us.

Realistically: The secondary obviously needs to be rebuilt.
Realistically: The OL needs to be overhauled. Jake Long is as good as gone and Martin led the NFL in QB hurries last year. He is going to bust at OT if they leave him there.
Realistically: The DL is in need of improvement, it wasn't the bastion of strength some think it was. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/dl
Realistically: The offense needs serious improvement that won't be accomplished in a year.
Realistically: The Dolphins marquee FA's are going to be seeking outrageous amounts of money. There is going to be a lot of personnel turnover, way more than most fans are thinking.
Reggie Bush....I love reggie but I seriously doubt he accepts the team friendly offer Philbin spoke of. He graded out really bad last year but I imagine there is still at least one team out there that will be willing to throw some money at him but it won't be the Dolphins. Miller looks good for increased snaps and I like Sherman to ask for Goodson to be acquired. I am also a believer in Jonas Gray's potential and I want to draft Miguel Maysonet as well.
Brian Hartline: I was one of the few in the world who had Hartline mocked to the fins and I was thrilled when we got him but he isn't elite and I doubt the Dolphins will give him the money he wants. I think Philbin will indeed go with Jennings and draft a few guys. Frankly I hope that they don't give in to any of the FA WR prospects when it comes contract time.
IMO, there are no elite FA WR prospects or elite draft prospects. It happens, it's reality.
Jake Long: Will be debated adnauseum until he signs somewhere but the early indicators are that the Dolphins have no intention whatsoever in giving him a nice contract, whereas the Chargers and maybe a couple others will. He is soooooooooo gone. Forget about him.
Randy Starks is going back to the Pro Bowl this weekend and he is as consistent as the Northern Star and as durable as Bret Favre. His going price is going to be wayyyyyy higher
than what most Dolphin fans are thinking. Starks is just plain good; but I'd rather spend the cap room on a couple younger guys and solidify the DL depth.
Anthony Fasano: I believe the Dolphins will make him a solid offer but I have a hunch that the Giants are going to lose Martellus Bennett in FA, and I think they will make Fasano an
offer and I predict the Jersey boy goes home. Could you blame him, really.....Eli Manning throwing...Knicks and Cruz drawing all the attention...
Fasano led the NFL in drop percentage last year....40 catches no drops, and he is consistently at the top in blocking. Somebody is going to pay him. I think Philbin wants to draft his guys. I think we lose Fasano as well.
Sean Smith: Sean Smith Sucks!! If they give him a bunch of money I'll puke.
Player Trades: My player trade for this offseason is Daniel Thomas and John Jerry to Atlanta for their 3rd. This pick is so very late it's not as good as it sounds. Rumor mill has Turner being done in Atlanta. Thomas might gel with Quiz Rogers. John and Peria Jerry are brothers, maybe they can inspire each other. I don't trade either of these guys because I don't like them. I trade Jerry because he doesn't fit the blocking system. Jerry actually grades out pretty good at pass blocking which would also please Atlanta as they found their success last year by becoming a pass heavy team; and Murdoch is done at center and Konz will be moving over leaving a gaping hole at RG. I trade Thomas because I see Miller getting more snaps,I like Jonas Gray,I see Sherman wanting Goodson, and I have a crush on Miguel Maysonet. Not enough room on the roster for all these guys especially if they keep Thigpen at RB.
FA acquisitions:
Greg Jennings........WR......I don't see any choice other than playing rookie's or signing cheaper veterans that you know won't really help. I will hate this contract. It may very well cost the Dolphins the ability to get Reshad Jones and Soliai locked up for the future. More reality.
Desmond Bryant......DT....Raiders swing tackle who started at midseason after Seymour went on IR. He played stellar. IMO, a rising star if there ever was one. He had his success playing 3-technique but 3-4 teams are said to love him as a 5-technique as well. He would give the Dolphins a lot of versatility in hybrid sets. Young and brilliant with high character.
Bryant went to Harvard on an academic scholarship after finishishing HS with a 4.2 GPA. He won't be cheap but I'd try to sign him to a forever deal.
Sammie Lee Hill.....DT....This would be a huge signing if we do lose Starks. Not just because Hill is good and graded better than Starks last year, but it would also give the team leverage in negotiating with Soliai in the fure and it would also give the Dolphins very solid depth and even more versatility with the line allowing Odrick to continue to play DE on specific downs.
Bryant McKinnie.....LT....Stop gap extraordinaire. McKinnie is slimmed down and playing well at 33. His last contract was 7 mil for 2 years. It would be nice to get him in that range. The Ravens aren't going to have a penny to bring him back even if they get Flacco to sign a friendly deal. They won't be any competition to sign him. We might get a bargain as long as he doesn't show up to camp weighing 400 pounds.
Antwaan Barnes....OLB/DE.....When healthy he may be one of the best situational pass rushers in the league(11 sacks in 2011). A special teams ace as well. He could provide a legitimate replacement for Wake's speed rushing if there is an injury. He runs the 40 in 4.4 something, guy is fast
Chris Gamble......CB.......Gamble is due a ton of money and coming off shoulder surgery and will be 30 in March. The Panthers are in deep deep cap hell. Rotoworld says he release is a forgone conclusion. Gamble is one of the best cover corners in the NFL and would provide perfect veteran leadership for a young secondary. I'd hope for an incentive laden contract for no more than 4 years.
Keenan Lewis.....CB......Darkhorse FA. I am shocked this guy isn't topping the list of elite corners. He killed it last year. The Steelers had the #1 pass defense almost all year in 2012 and Ike Taylor had a bad year and Polomalu was injured most of the time. Teams were targeting Lewis all year and he just kept coming up stone solid. This is the quintessential example of the kind of FA signing you want to make. A young up and comer worthy of the contract he will get. There is enormous value here. He tops my wish list.
Mike Goodson....RB.....A guy who has always played behind elite RB's in Carolina and behind McFadden last year. He averaged 6.3 yds per carry last year. He has 4.4 speed and is an excellent receiver. He played for Sherman at A&M. If he learns to take care of the football he could become an excellent 3rd down back. He should be cheap to sign.
Brian McCann.....CB....This kid played well. Should be easy to bring back on the cheap.
Estimated 2013 accumulated cap number for these FA signings is 38 mil. With 7 mil for draft picks there should be a couple mil left to sign guys off the wire or their couches, but long
term deals for Jones and Soliai probably can't happen if the Dolphins sign Jennings.
Draft: I'm proposing two draft day trades. Trade down from the #12 pick to the #22 pick with the Rams and send them Spitler and Egnew in the deal. Rams have limited cap and Spitler is decent depth at LB, which is a position of need for them. Spitler actually backed up Laurenitus at Ohio state. Rams are expected to be looking for TE's as well although Kendricks is the future. This trade allows the Rams to get both their stud OG and their stud DT in the 1st round as they have the #16 pick as well. Probably Chance Warmak and Jonathan Hankins. Dolphins get a mid 2nd,,7th and don't have to pay their 1st round pick quite as much.
I also propose the Dolphins trade down from the Indy 2nd to the beginning of the 3rd and add a 4th and 6th.
This draft scenario assumes that Jeff Ireland finally realizes that when it comes to scouting he his batshet crazy and he just does whatever Philbin tells him to.
First round #22.......Zach Ertz..................TE....Playmaker.....I'm guessing this is Philbin's guy.
2nd........................Phillip Thomas............S......Playmaker supreme.....8 int's and 4 FF's last year and looking good in senior bowl practices
2nd........................Desmond Truphant....CB.......Needs to start at nickel
3rd........................Steadman Bailey........WR.......Frankly I think you could take the top 10 WR's and throw them names in a hat and have just as much success.
3rd........................Dion Sims..................TE........Like having another OT who can run routes and catch everything. My favorite TE in this class.
3rd........................Travis Long............OLB/DE....He lined up all over the place last year. Really bright 4yr starter I think would surpass Trusnik and be the first LB to fill in. If Dansby went down I think Burnett or Misi would play the Mike and I'd expect Long to play either OLB positions.
3rd........................Marquis Goodwin.......WR......A reach....Think again, he is looking good at the senior bowl practices and the olympic dream is over, track is over, it's all football now baby!
4th.......................Reid Fragel.............OT......What a story on this kid. Do a search. Converted TE will be really raw. A phenomenal physical specimen and mean. I love him. You might be a little mean too if your a football player named fragel(fragile)
4th......................Mike Catapano..........DE.........Princeton??????? Super sleeper candidate, although kickin major ass at the Shrine game isn't very sleepy.
5th......................Miguel Maysonet.......RB..........Another kid moving up boards. The next Arian Foster??? Maybe not but worth a 5th IMO
6th......................Cooper Taylor...........SS..........Big kid who impressed at the Shrine. May have to move to LB but they say he looked fluid. 6'4" 230
7th......................Melvin White.............DB..........Might go a lot higher if he performs well in workouts. I've seen him his as high as a 4th rounder.
7th......................Marquies Gray..........WR/QB....Practice squad
FA......................Colby Cameron..........QB..........Practice squad
FA......................Josh Kline..................OG..........Practice squad
RB...................Lamar Miller,Jonas Gray,Mike Goodson,Miguel Maysonet,Marcus Thigpen

Champions League
In the latest Xs and Os with Dominic Kinnear, the Dynamo head coach discusses the team's upcoming match vs. Santos Laguna and the possible inclusion of Andrew Driver in the lineup.
Following Tuesday night's training session, Santos Laguna manager Pedro Caixinha and forward Herculez Gomez discussed the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal series with the Houston Dynamo.
Tickets are still available for tonight's match and can be purchased by clicking here or by calling (713) 276-GOAL.
On last week's episode of Dynamo Weekly, CSN Houston's Sebastian Salazar and Dynamo broadcaster Glenn Davis broke down Houston's upcoming series with Santos Laguna in the CONCACAF Champions League.
Now that the Dynamo have completed their first mission - a 2-0 defeat of D.C. United in their MLS opener - they can now turn their attention to their second mission.
On Tuesday, Houston will play its first of two CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal matches against Mexican club Santos Laguna. The two teams will square off at BBVA Compass Stadium on Tuesday, before concluding the series at Estadio Corona in Torreon on Wednesday, March 14.
After a sluggish start to their LigaMX campaign, Santos has rebounded of late to the tune of back-to-back wins and a three-game unbeaten streak.
Los Guerreros followed up their win over second place Club America with a 3-1 win over Jaguares de Chiapas. U.S. men's national team striker Herculez Gomez scored two goals for Santos, while Mexican national team striker Oribe Peralta added a third. Peralta currently leads Santos with five goals on the season and is tied for third in LigaMX.
With the win, Santos improved to 4-3-2 and sits in sixth place in the league, only six points behind first place Tigres UANL. If the Dynamo advance past Santos in the two-game series, they will face the winner of the Tigres / Seattle Sounders quarterfinal series.
It's important to note that while the Dynamo have a bye from MLS play next weekend, Santos will host Atlante on Friday night.
Here is a list of their upcoming fixtures:
|Date / Time (CT)
|Tuesday, March 5 - 7 pm
|at Houston Dynamo
|BBVA Compass Stadium
|Friday, March 8 - 9:30 pm
|vs. Atlante
|Estadio Corona
|Wednesday, March 13 - 7 pm
|vs. Houston Dynamo
|Estadio Corona
As the Dynamo closed out their preseason campaign on Saturday, CCL foe Santos Laguna continued their trek through the 2013 LigaMX Clausura.
On Friday, Santos upset second-place Club America at Estadio Corona, defeating the Mexico City-based club 1-0 behind a first-half goal from Darwin Quintero. The goal was Quintero's second of the season and his second in as many games.
Friday's match was a chippy affair between the two Mexican clubs, as seven yellow cards were handed out. Former Mexican national team goalkeeper Oswaldo Sanchez made three saves for his fourth clean sheet of the season.
Current men's national team striker Herculez Gomez played 62 minutes for Los Guerreros, while current Mexican national team striker Oribe Peralta played the full 90 minutes and assisted on Quintero's goal.
Following the win, Santos now sits in sixth place in the LigaMX standings. Here is a list of their upcoming fixtures:
|Date / Time (CT)
|Friday, March 1 - 7:30 pm
|at Jaguares
|Estadio Victor Manuel Reyna
|Tuesday, March 5 - 7 pm
|at Houston Dynamo
|BBVA Compass Stadium
|Friday, March 8 - 9:30 pm
|vs. Atlanta
|Estadio Corona
|Wednesday, March 13 - 7 pm
|vs. Houston Dynamo
|Estadio Corona
Although we are only three-and-a-half weeks away from opening day, we are also just four weeks away from the Dynamo's first CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal match against Mexican club Santos Laguna (March 5, 7 pm, BBVA Compass Stadium).
Houston will host Santos in the first leg of their home-and-home series, with the winner advancing to the semifinals to face the winner of Seattle Sounders / Tigres UANL. That match will be broadcast nationally on FOX Soccer and can be heard locally on 1560 AM (English) and 850 AM (Spanish).
To get you in the mood for Champions League soccer, each week, we'll provide you an update on how Santos is performing in Liga MX.
Despite transfering Argentinian midfielder Daniel Ludueña and Ecuadoran midfielder Christian Suárez to Pachuca in the offseason, Los Guerreros have had a strong start to the 2013 Clausura campaign. Santos is currently 2-1-2 (8 points) through their first five games and sit in sixth place in Liga MX.
Mexican national team striker Oribe Peralta leads the club with four goals and former Mexican national team goakeeper Oswaldo Sanchez has three shutouts in the first five matches.
Last week, Santos played Pumas to a scoreless draw at Estadio Olimpico Universitaro in Mexico City. The match included a header off the post by U.S. men's national team forward Herculez Gomez and s penalty kick save by Sanchez.
This is the best 0-0 game I've seen in a while. Penalty saved, two goal line clearances, and several other good shots and saves. #LigaMX
— Ordinary Orange Fan (@OrangeFanBlog) February 3, 2013
Santos returns to action this weekend when they host Pumas on Sunday at 4 p.m. CT
With the Houston Dynamo down a goal 64 minutes into Tuesday's CONCACAF Champions League match, there were any number of players on the field and bench that could have produced the necessary equalizer. It should be no surprise, though, that the equalizer came from Andre Hainault, a Canadian defender who has a knack for scoring big goals for the Dynamo. Let's take a look at some of his most important goals in Hainault's Dynamo career.
1. Houston Dynamo vs. Portland Timbers - 10/15/11
With the Dynamo's playoff fate in the balance, Houston went to the fortress of JELD-WEN Field and came away with a 2-0 victory. Hainault put the Dynamo on the board in the first half with a header off a Brad Davis corner kick. The win - and other results that weekend - clinched a playoff spot for Houston and helped kick start the Dynamo's run to the MLS Cup final.
2. Houston Dynamo vs. Sporting Kansas City - 11/6/11
With a berth in the MLS Cup final on the line, the Dynamo traveled to LIVESTRONG Sporting Park to face the top seeded Sporting Kansas City. Although Houston lost team MVP Brad Davis in the first half to a quad injury, the Dynamo continued to fight, and took a 1-0 lead in 53rd minute. After goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen stopped Jermaine Taylor's initial attempt off an Adam Moffat free kick, Hainault was there to knock the loose ball into the net and punch the Dynamo's ticket to the MLS Cup final.
3. Houston Dynamo vs. Olimpia - 10/23/12
The Dynamo needed only a draw to win Group 3 and advance to the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals. But between Douglas Caetano's first half goal and and some questionable officiating, the Dynamo's chances of earning a point or more looked slim. That all changed in the 65th minute, when the Dynamo took advantage of one of their eight corner kicks on the evening. Nathan Sturgis curled a perfectly placed ball into the box and Hainault used his size advantage to redirect the ball past Olimpia goalkeeper Donis Escober, giving Houston a 1-1 tie and a berth in the quarterfinals.
4. Houston Dynamo vs. Philadelphia Union - 10/30/11
The Dynamo traveled to PPL Park for the first leg of a conference semifinal series with the Philadelphia Union. It did not take long for the visitors to prove they were a playoff contender, as Hainault's fifth-minute goal, set the tone for the match. Although Sebastien Le Toux leveled the match only minutes later, Calen Carr's goal in the 30th minute sealed the 2-1 win and brought home-field advantage back to Robertson Stadium.
5. Houston Dynamo vs. Chivas USA - 3/11/12
The Dynamo went 15 road games in 2011 without winning one. Hainault made sure that would not happen in 2012, scoring the decisive goal in a 1-0 win over Chivas USA in the season's opening match at The Home Depot Center.
If the Dynamo win or draw vs. Olimpia on Tuesday night, they will finish first in Group C and advance to the 2012-13 CONCACAF Champions quarterfinals. The real fun begins next March, when the Dynamo play a home-and-home series with an opponent to be determined, for the right to advance to the semifinals.
Under CONCACAF regulations, the eight group winners will advance to the quarterfinals and will be paired based on their results in group play as follows:
1. Team 1 vs. Team 8
2. Team 2 vs. Team 7
3. Team 3 vs. Team 6
4. Team 4 vs. Team 5
The top four group winners with the best records will host the second leg in the quarterfinal stage. Should two or more group stage winners finish with the same number of points, tie-breakers will be used to determined the final eight seeds. Those tie-breakers are:
1. Best Goal Difference
2. Most Goals Scored
3. Most Goals Scored Away from home
4. Most Wins
5. Most Away Wins
6. Drawing of Lots
What does this all mean for the Dynamo? Currently, Houston has 7 points in their group and has a +6 goal differential. If the Dynamo win tonight, they will finish with 10 points. Only four group winners can finish with more than ten points, so depending on how the results go over the next three days, the final seeding could come down to goal differential. If the Dynamo can win and add on to their +6 goal differential, they will go into the quarterfinal stage in a better position.
To put this into perspective, if the CCL group stage ended now, the Dynamo would be seeded sixth, behind the four teams with 9 points and behind the LA Galaxy who also have 7 points but have a +7 goal differential. A lot can happen over the next three days, so we'll revisit this after Thursday night's matches.
Hopefully I didn't confuse you too much.

Fifty years ago, six women had a great idea for enriching their community. McLean, where they lived, was bucolically beautiful and populated with lots of smart, accomplished people. What it did not have was a place to enjoy and learn about first-class contemporary art.
The women--three who were budding artists themselves, studying with noted painter and teacher, Robert Gates, then head of the Art Department at American University--decided to do something about bridging that critical cultural gap. Dogged and optimistic, in 1962, they founded the McLean Art Club.
Five decades later, that hopeful initiative has grown into the McLean Project for the Arts (MPA). Housed inside the McLean Community Center, MPA is recognized as one of the region�s top nonprofit visual arts organizations.
�I feel really satisfied. We struggled so hard, and people laughed at us, scorned us, and it turned out to be what we hoped it would be,� said Nancy Bradley, 86, the last surviving member of MPA�s founding women.
Contributing $300 each, MPA�s founders initially rented a basement space in a shopping center, Bradley recalled. To get to the new gallery space, visitors had to walk down an alley, go down a few steps and through a red door.
At first artists were required to pay $100 to mount a show. �It paid our [monthly] rent,� Bradley said, recalling that one year an artist canceled and they had to throw an emergency luncheon, charging $10 a head.
It finally occurred to them that a better idea would be to develop a permanent supporting membership. �Suddenly we had some money,� Bradley said, leading to a series of larger rental spaces. Among them was another basement in the McLean Art Center, a dance studio on Emerson Street that gave the developing arts organization and now MPA�s main gallery its name. There also was a space on Poplar Street, now Beverly Road, and a Sears-Roebuck house on Whittier Street.
Besides membership fees, money to support the fledgling nonprofit came from a series of �happenings,� according to Bradley. �After all it was the �70s,� she said with a laugh, remembering that one such happening included a member dressed in a bikini whose body was painted a la Goldie Hawn on TV�s then popular �Laugh-In� comedy show.
When the McLean Community Center was built in the 1970s, thanks to the active support of people like former Dranesville Supervisors Nancy Falk and Lilla Richards and �everyone we knew going before the Board of Supervisors,� Bradley said, MPA found its permanent home.
How MPA eventually became MPA will be explored in a special 50th anniversary exhibition that opens April 19 and continues through June 2. Part of a yearlong, multi-event celebration, the exhibition will fill MPA�s Emerson, Atrium and Ramp galleries.
Titled �Four Perspectives: Becoming MPA,� it is curated by Nancy Sausser, MPA�s present exhibitions director, and past exhibition directors Sarah Tanguy, Deborah McLeod and Andrea Pollan. The history of MPA will be told through artists, selected by each curator, who have exhibited there in the past.
The four curators will participate in a panel discussion on �Becoming MPA� on April 26 from 7 to 9 p.m.
Sausser, who organized �Becoming MPA,� said she wanted an exhibition that celebrated both its artists and the curators, who like the �Wizard of Oz, do their work behind a curtain.�
�I am constantly grateful to the curators who came before me. They put together great shows that established the exceptional reputation of the place so firmly,� said Sausser, 53, who was the arts in education director for the Arts and Humanities Council of Montgomery County before coming to MPA about eight years ago.
In addition, Sausser noted: �It is a beautiful space, treats its artists really well and has a wonderful community. It�s been really fun. � I think I have the best job at MPA.�
Given �curatorial and creative freedom,� each of the �Becoming MPA� curators came at the exhibition from their own distinctive perspectives, Sausser said.
Sausser focused her part of the exhibition on artists whose works fit well into the dynamic yet bisected and sloped space of the Ramp Gallery.
Sarah Tanguy, 57, now a curator for the U.S. Department of State�s Art in Embassies Program, worked as MPA�s curator-in-residence between 1996 and 1998. �By the time I was there, it was a well-established alternative art space,� she recalled.
�It was a very formative experience. I wasn�t the seasoned curator I am now. � I knew it was a big deal for me,� said Tanguy, who was working as an independent curator and art critic before coming to MPA.
�They gave me so much freedom. � It was one of the highlights of my career, an incubator experience. � It gave me the confidence for putting together all kinds of art exhibitions.�
Tanguy�s section of �Becoming MPA� features artists whose works contemplate �a realm where shadows cross into light, and whispers blend into chorus.�
A veteran independent curator, Deborah McLeod, 61, owner and director of the Chroma Projects Art Laboratory in Charlottesville and a former art critic at the Baltimore City Paper, was director of exhibitions at MPA between late 2001 and 2003.
Then as now, she said, MPA �had a very good reputation for not being compromising.� It was one of the attributes that attracted her to the job. Another for McLeod, who describes herself as �a bit of a renegade,� was then executive director, the late Geraldine (Gerry) Brock, �who believed curators shouldn�t be stifled, should be allowed to explore and play.�
Exhibiting in the Atrium Gallery, McLeod noticed that, although it was not deliberate, the nine artists she selected are unified by the idea of �holding something precious within something else, having a protective covering.� Also pink, which tends to be the color of fragile things, seems to prevail. �I didn�t want a blast of wild colors. I wanted a monochromatic quality not haphazard,� she explained.
Andrea Pollan, MPA exhibitions director for 10 years prior to McLeod, between 1992 and late 2001, also regards Geraldine Brock as a �visionary� and significant influence. Impressed by MPA�s artistic integrity and unflagging commitment to enriching both adults and children, Pollan recalled that not only was Brock an educator but also �had a way of standing up for artists.�
As MPA�s professionalism grew so did her own. �I became a full-fledged exhibitions director [at MPA], said Pollan, who was doing independent curatorial projects and managing corporate art projects when she came to McLean.
Her other takeaways, she said, included building an incredible network of artists, learning what big things could be done on a small budget and mastering how to effectively run a small nonprofit from fundraising to organizing events.
Trained as an art historian at Yale University, Pollan, who was also curator at the Arlington Arts Center prior to MPA, now owns the Curator's Office micro-gallery on Logan Circle in Washington, D.C., which specializes in a variety of arts-related services.
Sharing the larger Emerson Gallery space with Tanguy, Pollan�s 10 artists mix photography and sculpture with new media and paper works.
Going for her own �unorthodox, helter-skelter aesthetic,� she explained: �Because it�s the 50th anniversary, I wanted the spirit of playing and experimenting. � I picked artists who were game for this presentation.�
Appreciating the way, MPA allowed her to �push the envelope� while she was there, Pollan, who just turned 50 like MPA, celebrated that �MPA is all about trying to open people�s eyes.�

Deanna M. Neff, MPH
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a rare heart defect. In a normal heart, the blood flows in from the body to the right atrium. It then goes into the right ventricle. Next, the blood travels to the lungs through the pulmonary valve. Here, it picks up fresh oxygen. The blood returns to the left atrium and goes into the left ventricle. The blood then moves out to the rest of the body.
With this syndrome, structures on the left side of the heart, which includes the aorta, aortic valve, left ventricle, and mitral valve, may be:
Since the heart cannot function properly, oxygen-rich blood flow to the body is limited. This condition requires immediate care from a doctor.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
This is a congenital heart defect. This means that the heart forms incorrectly when the baby develops in the womb. The baby is born with the condition. It is not known why the heart forms this way.
These factors increase your chance of having a child with hypoplastic left heart syndrome:
Symptoms usually appear within days after birth. Tell the doctor if you notice the following in your infant or child:
You will be asked about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Images may be taken of your child's chest. This can be done with:
Other tests may be done to evaluate your child's heart. This can be done with:
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for your child. Some defects may be so severe that they are difficult to treat. Treatment options include:
Medications are necessary to keep blood flowing through the ductus arteriosus. The ductus arteriosus is a connection between the pulmonary artery and the aorta, which is the largest artery in the body. It usually closes within a few days after birth. Keeping this passage open is a temporary treatment. Other medications may be used as well.
Surgery may be done to improve blood flow. This can be done through a variety of reconstructive and shunting procedures. Surgeries are usually done in stages:
Your child will need to see a heart specialist regularly. Heart medication will be needed throughout your child's life.
There is no way to prevent this condition. Getting proper prenatal care is always important.

Grants Pass, Ore. -- On Mother's day 2013 NBC 5 covered a story about Isaac Pinon, a six-year-old who suffers from a tumor growth on his spine. His Mother, Mona, has been working hard to create a fully handicap accessible playground for him and other children with disabilities.
Pinon started the Blue Slide Project in 2011. She wanted to convert the playground at Parkside Elementary. She said half of the playground is handicap ready and in June they'll be starting phase 2.
"Phase 2 is removing all the rocks and making the entire playground accessible and we will have the only all inclusive playground in southern Oregon so that's exciting," said Pinon.
Pinon said they still need six volunteers for phase 2 which starts June 23rd.
Volunteers must be able to lift heavy materials.

Guys and Dolls Information
About the Show:
Considered one of the best musical comedies ever written, Guys and Dolls is stuffed with comic situations, unforgettable characters, and memorable songs such as "A Bushel and a Peck," "Luck, Be a Lady," and "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat." The original 1950 production won the Tony Award for Best Musical and has spawned countless revivals in the United States, London, and Australia, the most successful and critically acclaimed being the 1992 Broadway version featuring Nathan Lane. A film version starring Frank Sinatra and Marlon Brando was also released in 1955.
Guys and Dolls is based on Damon Runyon's short stories "The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown" and "Blood Pressure." The beloved aesthetic of Guys and Dolls is decidedly "Runyonesque," that is, packed with characters and plot elements popular in his stories. The Times Square of the show is packed with fast-moving crooks, cops, gamblers, streetwalkers, drunks, actresses, and other assorted characters with quick wits and even quicker tongues. Their colorful names and peppy dialogue (half formal, half slang) give the show a distinctive character that audiences have come to love. Why not join them? Take a look at the Guys and Dolls schedule and grab a pair of tickets today for an eccentric and hilarious theatre experience.
Plot Synopsis:
The setting is Depression-era Times Square in New York City. Among the tourists, gamblers, crooks, cops, and drunks, the members of the Save-a-Soul Mission pass by, led by their pious leader, Sarah Brown. Unfortunately, the band is still having little luck finding willing souls to save. Meanwhile, Nathan Detroit, host of a floating craps game, is worried because some very high rollers are in town but he has trouble finding somewhere to host his illegal game. The only place he can find, a parking garage, requires a $1,000 security deposit, which he doesn't have. On a tip from a friend, he decides to try to win the money in a bet from Sky Masterson, a high-roller who will bet on anything. The bet: Sky must get a dinner date with straight-laced mission leader Sarah Brown on his trip to Havana, Cuba. As Sky tries desperately to get the date, Nathan's long-time fiancee, Miss Adelaide, comes by with a present for their 14-year engagement anniversary. She complains that she has a cold from the agony of waiting for a wedding day.
Later, Sky finally manages to get Sarah to go out with him when he promises to get her some willing sinners for her mission meeting. While they are in Cuba, Nathan, in desperation, holds his craps game at the mission. When Sarah returns and finds out about this, she is furious and shuts Sky out, even though she has become unexpectedly enamored with him. Meanwhile, Nathan is getting in over his head with some very threatening players in his marathon craps game, Adelaide's symptoms seem to be getting worse as she tries to chase Nathan down, and Sky desperately tries to get back in Sarah's good graces. Get your Guys and Dolls tickets today to see how these convoluted stories pan out.

All week leading up to his team's game at New Haven, East Noble coach Luke Amstutz was channeling the state champion Knights of 2000. And for good reason, what with NHC title hopes dashed and the playoffs looming.
"We didn't get the job done early," Amstutz said of his team's early losses to Homestead and Carroll. "But now we need to keep taking steps towards being the team we can be. It's all about the post-season now and making sure we're ready. This team has the toughness to go a long way, just like those championship teams."
So in the tradition of great post-season runs, Amstutz made a crucial change: he turned his hard-nosed linebacker, Walker Boyles, into a fullback. And, the benefits were immediate as Boyles rushed for the only two touchdowns of the game and the Knights went on to a 17-0 victory over the previously unbeaten Bulldogs.
"Walker Boyles is the prototype of the East Noble football player," Amstutz said. "He gets right after it. He's tough. We needed a power back like those East Noble teams (of the early 2000s) and Walker brings it to the team."
Boyles scored on a 1-yard run early in the second quarter to give the Knights a 9-0 lead on a night when a touchdown appeared to be enough. With driving rain and muddy conditions slowing down the fleet of foot, 9-0 might as well been 20-0 considering the Knights' dominating defense. Boyles scored on another 1-yard run early in the fourth quarter to clinch the victory.
The part-time move to offense suits Boyles just fine.
"I like it," Boyles said. "We needed a bigger guy for our jumbo package."
Boyles may be more proud of how he and the Knights did on the defensive side of the ball. New Haven gained just two first downs and 85 yards of offense, 46 of which came on a run by Damon Moore. East Noble also forced three fumbles and allowed New Haven into East Noble territory once, and that was on a kick-off return.
Asked if the muddy, wet and slippery conditions helped his team, Amstutz eagerly replied: "Absolutely. Kids in Kendallville are tough. Our kids love this. We may play on turf, but they love getting down and dirty."
The best comments may have come as Amstutz was addressing his team after the game.
"From the moment you guys got off the bus, you were ready to play. You wanted to be out here in this," Amstutz said. "And it showed. You were tough!"

As an instructor I strive to create a classroom experience that provides the space for community learning. Therefore, I use group projects and simulations to promote classroom dialogue, and debate to foster critical engagement and interrogation of concepts presented in class. Additionally, I strive to introduce multiple methods of instruction to address various methods of student learning.
Real world examples are used to illustrate how to analyze and problem solve, apply analogies to larger social justice questions and occupational responsibilities. I use group collaboration to develop a community of learning, collaboration skills, and opportunities for knowledge development from the perspective of a researcher. Classroom debates provide opportunities for critical discourse, engagement and interrogation of concepts presented in class, and to illustrate how to apply critical thinking to all arguments including one's own.

My primary research focus lies within social epidemiology and the social demography of health. I investigate the intersection of race, ethnicity, and nativity, and its implications on population health. I am particularly interested in modeling the implications of racial discrimination and inequality generationally among foreign-born and native-born racial and ethnic minority populations. My analytic approach uses quantitative methods to elucidate the long-term impact of racial discrimination and inequality on population health. Long term research goals include extending these questions to infant and child mental health.

Gallery: Quebec to Construct Opera House Entirely From Shipping Pallets
The temporary open air performance space will be constructed completely out of shipping pallets, which will serve as the building material, structural system, and stage. Theater architect Jacques Plante envisioned the project as a way to re-use industrialized objects in a creative artistic context. His plan is to take the shipping pallet, an ubiquitous object with great utility, and use it in an innovative and surprising way to create an ephemeral opera house.
Plante is working with Engineer Pascale Pierre to create the immense architectural, aesthetic, and acoustic sound box. The project's tectonic assembly will need to be carefully considered in order to create a space that is both aesthetically appealing and acoustically viable. The Pallet Opera will be constructed in the summer of 2011 in the courtyard of the Music Academy of Quebec City, next to the city's principal theater.
