STATEWIDE - Learn your vulnerability to flooding by determining the elevation of your property.
Evaluate your insurance coverage; as construction grows around areas, floodplains change. If you are in a flood area, consider what mitigation measure you can do in advance.
In highly flood-prone areas, keep materials on hand like sandbags, plywood, plastic sheeting, plastic garbage bags, lumber, shovels, work boots and gloves. Call your local emergency management agency to learn how to construct proper protective measures around your home.
Be aware of streams, drainage channels and areas known to flood, so you or your evacuation routes are not cut off.
Avoid driving into water of unknown depth. Moving water can quickly sweep your vehicle away.
Restrict children from playing in flooded areas.
Test drinking water for potability; wells should be pumped out and the water tested before drinking.
Do not use fresh food that has come in contact with floodwaters. Wash canned goods that come in contact with floodwaters with soap and hot water.
Hurricanes are capable of producing copious amounts of rainfall. During landfall, a rainfall amounts of 10 to 15 inches or more is common. If the storm is large and moving slowly, less than 10 mph, the rainfall amounts from a well-organized storm are likely to be even more excessive. This heavy rain usually occurs slightly to the right of the hurricane's track. The amount of rain depends on the size, forward speed and whether the hurricane interacts with other weather systems.
To get a generic estimate of the rainfall amount (in inches) that can be expected, divide 100 by the storm's forward motion, for example, 100/5 mph = 20 inches of rain. For specific rainfall forecasts please monitor local forecasts from the National Weather Service. Rainfall and Flooding fact: Tropical Storm Claudette (1979) brought 45 inches of rain to an area near Alvin, Texas, contributing to more than $600 million in damage.
Inland Flooding From Hurricanes
The next time you hear hurricane -- think inland flooding!
While storm surge has the highest potential to cause hurricane related deaths, more people died from inland flooding associated with tropical systems from 1970 to 1999. Since the 1970's, inland flooding has been responsible for more than half of all deaths associated with tropical cyclones in the United States. Flooding from hurricanes can occur hundreds of miles from the coast placing communities, which would not normally be affected by the strongest hurricane winds, in great danger.
Facts About Inland Flooding From Hurricanes
From 1970 to 1999, 78% of children killed by tropical cyclones drowned in freshwater floods.
One cubic yard of water weighs 1700lbs. The average automobile weighs 3400lbs. Many automobiles will float in just 2 feet of water.
The average person can be swept off their feet in 6 inches of moving water.
The average automobile can be swept off the road in 12 inches of moving water.
At least 23% of U.S. tropical cyclone deaths occur to people who drown in, or attempting to abandon, their cars.
Rainfall is typically heavier with slower moving storms.
Some of the greatest rainfall amounts associated with tropical systems occurs from weaker Tropical Storms that have a slow forward speed (1 to 10mph) or stall over an area. Due to the amount of rainfall a Tropical Storm can produce, they are capable of causing as much damage as a category 2 hurricane.

Swedes teeter out of sync, out of luck
St. Pat's beats Gothenburg in four
NORTH PLATTE—Every player has an off night once in awhile. It just happens.
But it's unusual, said Swede volleyball coach Mary Clark, when it happens to an entire team, even if it's just for one set.
The Gothenburg volleyball team stuck with unbeaten North Platte St. Pat's for three sets but fell out of rhythm in the fourth, losing to the Irish 26-24, 21-25, 25-20, 25-16.
"I don't know what it was," Clark said. "I really wish I could put my finger on it."
Mostly Clark would like to find that switch that flipped on her team so she can possibly prevent it from happening again.
"We really did play well for three sets," she said. "We just couldn't make it happen in the fourth."
Gothenburg started the match down by as many as nine points in the first set but they managed to fight back and challenge the Irish.
Then in the second, the Swedes matched St. Pat's point for point before finally taking control.
"The thing that I like about this group of girls is they are willing to be aggressive even when a set is on the line," Clark said. "They never got tentative, even when things weren't going our way."
Gothenburg continued to push the Irish in the third set but couldn't get an advantage.
Then things really fell apart in the fourth game.
"St. Pat's picked up more digs than we did and they served better than we did in that last set," Clark said. "We missed more serves in that game than we have all year and that makes such a huge difference against a team like St. Pat's."
Sophomore Tiani Reeves finished the night with 13 kills and five blocks, including one stuff.
Senior Jacey Wiggins offered 17 set assists while junior Aryn Meisinger had 13 assists and 20 digs.
Gothenburg moves to 5-2 on the season while St. Pat's improves to 10-0.
Things don't get any easier for the 5-2 Swedes in the weeks to come as they hit a busy part of their season.
Gothenburg travels to Hershey Saturday for a four-team invite that includes the Panthers (4-4), Bridgeport (4-7) and Ains-worth (2-11).
"Bridgeport is always tough and Hershey has a way of pulling things together when they need to," Clark said. "It will be a good test."
Then the Swedes travel to Grant for a triangular with Perkins County and Chase County Tuesday before returning home for their own invite on Sept. 29.

CBS Developing a Medical Drama Based on The Wizard of Oz (Wait, What?)
Seriously, what?
It's called Dorothy, and CBS is dubbing it "a medical soap based in New York City, inspired by the characters and themes immortalized in The Wizard of Oz." Carl Beverly and Sarah Timberman, who've worked on FX's Justified and CBS's Elementary (a New York-ification of Sherlock Holmes), are executive producing. Lest ye forget, Syfy also has an Oz show set in a dystopian future. It's finally fair game to transpose L. Frank Baum's magical story onto any type of series you want; make your "Mr. Chips to Tin Man" moral parable pitch now.

College of Arts & Humanities
Student members of the history honor society at Lander University have won bragging rights again after receiving another award as one of the best chapters in the country.
Lander's Xi-Epsilon Chapter of Phi Alpha Theta received the 2009 Nels. A. Cleven Award, which is given to chapters that have been designated as one of the best five times or more. Xi-Epsilon has been selected as a best chapter annually for more than a dozen years from among chapters at colleges and universities that have enrollments of less than 3,000 students. There are more than 820 Phi Alpha Theta chapters nationwide.
The award is presented for exceptional activities and projects that include participation in regional and national Phi Alpha Theta events.
A prize of $250 accompanies the best chapter award and it is spent to buy books for selected by the chapter and the history department for the university's Jackson Library.

1 out of 1 people found this review useful. 1 of 5
Categories Comments Campus Safety
Strangely, I rarely see active campus security. Of course, the Franklin campus is in a location that's highly monitored by city police.
Greek Life
Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. If you receive an invitation and can afford to, joining PTK is an excellent opportunity. You get multiple career building benefits including a pay boost when you list them on your resume.
Clubs and Activities
Sadly, there is not much of a selection as far as clubs and activities on the Franklin campus.
Great for these types of students
High school grads and anyone of any age who wishes to build their e-portfolio and expand their career horizons.
Bang for the buck
Paul D. Camp states that they would much rather give students grants and scholarships, so they don't offer loans. The catch is, you have to know what you want to go to school for, and stick with it because transferring mid-game or switching programs can mess you up.
What to do for fun
The only fun in Franklin is at the bowling alley. They used to have a movie theater, but around 2008 they couldn't afford the continuous ceiling repairs and closed down.
Food and Dining
Both the Franklin and Suffolk locations are on streets where there are restaurants. If you don't have time between classes, however, the student center has vending machines and the bookstore has snacks and drinks, as well as coffee.
Dorm Life
No dorms- it's a community college! However, the Franklin campus is right next to Meadow Ridge, an apartment complex. One can expect to pay about $780 for a 2-bedroom apartment there. I've gone on a tour of one; they're rather nice! You may also, through financial aid at Paul D., get some housing assistance. You would need to speak to a financial advisor.
Academic Rigor
Everyone at this school, from the teacher to the student, is ready to work for education's sake. You will not be babied, but you can definitely expect eager teachers, brilliant classmates and help around every corner.
Tips for prospective students
Don't be afraid and don't be intimidated. As soon as you know what you want to go to school for, decide whether you want to do a two-year degree for transfer, or if you just want a basic degree and then to find work. Make use of your resources- library, workforce development and your course advisor. PLEASE, don't waste time! Get started as soon as possible after high school graduation. And hey, even if you didn't graduate- they'll help you get your GED! Got your GED? Awesome! They don't treat you any differently than they treat high school grads. High school students are especially encouraged to apply- they really do offer a LOT of scholarships for people who just graduated high school!! If there is something you don't know about the process, they spell it out for you right on their website- but you can always call the main office or financial aid. When placing online book orders, relax knowing you're taken care of. If Charlotte doesn't have what you need she'll be more than happy to place a special order for you- and you receive a call once it's available for pick-up! But I strongly urge you to go into your bookstore. I've worked at the Franklin bookstore, and I can safely say you meet some of the most wonderful folks there. As far as financial aid goes- a lot of it is computer-based, meaning it's a computer that monitors what and how much you get. ALWAYS, each year, hand in that FAFSA- if you're 24 or older, you can use your own tax information, but if not you can use your parents' (and if you have a special situation, financial aid at Franklin campus is definitely on top of their game!). If an error is made, the folks in the financial aid office are more than helpful. Really. One semester, I entered warning status because SAP ran too early. I wrote a super-mad e-mail. They were so nice, so helpful and kind... I actually felt bad and had to apologize. It's frustrating, but like I said, they get it. Just... use your words. :)
In three sentences
The staff is helpful. The teachers are colorful. There's a genuine sense that you can really succeed here.

Categories Comments Food and Dining
The only food they have a vending machines, so if you want food you have to drive. They have fast food restaurants such as McDonald's that is about 5 minutes away.
Dorm Life
There are no dorms.
Tips for prospective students
When it comes to getting classes and finding out about financial aid, you need to be on it 100% because they are not going to babysit you and make sure that you have everything that you need. Some advisers are more helpful than others when it comes to what courses you need in order to graduate. There are some teachers who will not attend class and will not email you that they will not be in, but you will have to go to school in order to find out. Do your homework, ask for help, study for test and quizzes because it will help you in the long run when you attend a four-year university. If you need help in a certain subject get a tutor because sometimes they can help you understand the material better than your professor.
In three sentences
I give Paul D Camp Community College in Suffolk a 4 out of 5. The building needs to be remodeled. Some of the teachers are great and really care about their students and other teachers are sub par. It is smaller than the other Paul D campuses, so you do not feel one out of a thousand.

It is a very secure, and non- threatning safety atmosphere.
Great for these types of students
Continuing Education Adults and Pre- 4year college students.
Bang for the buck
The college is not that expensive.
What to do for fun
The college is only 30 minutes from Virginia Beach Oceanfront and 30 mins from North Carolina Fun centers.
Food and Dining
The surrounding area has many options for food and beverages. The area has plenty of restaurants, pizzarias, and places that offer down-home cooking.
Dorm Life
The Dorm Life is non- existant. There are not any dorms available but there ar plenty of lovely areas to live in the community.
Academic Rigor
The work load is not too bad to handle.I feel as though they offer a great line-up of courses to help you succeed.
Tips for prospective students
Stay up on or ahead on all of your assignments. It will make your overall experience easier.
In three sentences
It is a great college. Paul D. Camp cares about their students. Paul D. Camp is highly recommended in my area.

There are many funny things: including clubs and school run activities.
Food and Dining
There is no dineing plan, but there are many good restruants in the area.
Dorm Life
There is no dorm.
Academic Rigor
Is a very good pace. They work very well with how scheduals go.
Tips for prospective students
Just make regular appointments with your advisor and everything will go smoothly for you. If your planning on transfering, make sure you keep up and work with both schools to keep things straight.
In three sentences
Paul D. Camp Community College is one of the best schools that I have attended. If I had to give the school a star rateing it would be a five star rateing. I absolutely love this school.
Jasmine from Suffolk, VA

Categories Comments Great for these types of students
Paul D. Camp is great for students who are a little scared about going to a large school or a student who doesn't have enough credits or money to go to the school they want to go to.
Tips for prospective students
Try to avoid procrastinating it's not a very good trait to have. Be positive and never allow negative things and people to stop you for doing your work or achieving your degree.
Bang for the buck
I recommend attending Paul D. Camp Community College first before attending a larger school. It's cheaper and you get what you pay for.
Am enjoying being here
All the students are cool, I feel really comfortable there. Everyone is very focused on their work and are willing to help other students.
Am learning a lot
The teachers are amazing. If I don't understand something my professors will make sure I do by the end of the class.

Located just seven miles south of Charleston, West Virginia, Kanawha State Forest is in close proximity to the heavily populated Kanawha Valley and
is a recreational haven. Some of the states most popular picnic areas are here, along with significant hiking, mountain biking, and cross-country skiing opportunities. A playground attracts families during the summer season and the fully equipped campground is one of the few in the Charleston area.
The 9,300-acre forest is noted among naturalists for its diverse wildflower and bird populations. Rich cove forest sites provide nesting habitat for 19 species of wood warblers, a feature which draws birders from as far away as Canada.

The winter meetings got busy Tuesday with a three-team trade that sent slugger Mark Trumbo to Arizona, and Oakland dealt pitcher Brett Anderson to Colorado.
Halfway through the four-day swap session, the 15-foot-wide dais at the Dolphin Hotel near Walt Disney World has been used for three announcements involving player transactions — triple the total of last year's inert meetings in Nashville, Tenn.
In the big deal of the day, the Chicago White Sox acquired outfielder Adam Eaton from Arizona for left-hander Hector Santiago, and the Diamondbacks then sent Santiago and left-hander Tyler Skaggs to the Angels for Trumbo. Arizona also will receive a player to be named or cash from each of the other teams.
"It's nice when you're able to have three clubs up here all feeling good about things," White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said.
Arizona GM Kevin Towers was interested in another of Hahn's players: pitcher Chris Sale. But Chicago doesn't appear interested in dealing the 24-year-old left-hander.
"We would have talked about Mr. Sale," Towers said. "I imagine we might have been doing something directly. But I still can't get him to budge there."
Trumbo, 27, hit .234 with 34 home runs and 100 RBIs this year, playing first base in 123 games because Albert Pujols was hurt. Despite hitting 95 homers during the last three seasons, the sometimes outfielder was deemed superfluous by Los Angeles, which craved starting pitching behind Jered Weaver, C.J. Wilson and Garrett Richards.
After finishing last in the AL Central with their worst record since 1970 at 63-99, the White Sox were looking to make changes, and Hahn is counting on Eaton to provide a spark.
"We lacked a little bit of energy and a little edge," Hahn said. "This is a dirt-bag baseball player. This is a guy who has been described to me by someone at this table with words I can't use."
Oakland, the two-time defending AL West champion, received lefty Drew Pomeranz and minor league right-hander Chris Jensen from the Rockies for Anderson. The A's also included cash to cover part of the salary of the left-hander, who is due $8 million next season.
"Peyton Manning and I are going to become best friends...fact," Anderson tweeted, a reference to the Denver quarterback.
Oakland GM Billy Beane has made four trades in a nine-day span, also acquiring closer Jim Johnson from Baltimore, reliever Luke Gregerson from San Diego and outfielder Craig Gentry from Texas.
"We had a lot of starting pitching, and in the acquisition of Pomeranz, it allows us to turn back the clock a little with another very talented left-hander," Beane said. "Brett's been with us for several years, and someone obviously with that kind of talent we think very highly of, but with the amount of guys we have, we knew we could use that to get younger guys with less service time, and that was attractive."
Some bigger names were being shopped, with Tampa Bay discussing offers for 2012 AL Cy Young Award winner David Price and the Los Angeles Dodgers listening to those interested in outfielder Matt Kemp.
Among free agents, Detroit closed in on an agreement with outfielder Rajai Davis for a two-year contract worth $9 million to $10 million, a person familiar with the negotiations said. The person spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press because an agreement had not been completed.
It remained unclear whether Japanese star pitcher Masahiro Tanaka will be made available to Major League Baseball teams. Speaking in the lobby, Rakuten Eagles President Yozo Tachibana said no decision had been made.
"First of all, discuss it with him," Tachibana said. "I don't know if he wants to do it."
The New York Yankees are among the teams interested in Tanaka, 24-0 in Japan's regular season.
Major League Baseball and Nippon Professional Baseball have an agreement in principle on a new posting system. If ratified by both sides, there would be a $20 million cap on the fee going to Japanese clubs for players put on the posting market, and any MLB teams bidding the specified price would be able to compete to sign a player.
A day after finalizing a $60 million, four-year contract with the New York Mets, outfielder Curtis Granderson injected some playfully provocative words into New York's baseball rivalry. A direct Bronx-to-Queens switch from the Yankees is rare.
"A lot of the people I've met in New York have always said true New Yorkers are Mets fans," Granderson quipped. "So I'm excited to get a chance to see them all out there."
First baseman-outfielder Garrett Jones and Miami finalized a $7.75 million, two-year contract, catcher J.P. Arencibia and Texas completed a $1.8 million, one-year deal, and right-hander Ryan Webb and Baltimore finished a two-year agreement.

"So what is the "CE5 Clearomizer"
Can you load it up with different flavors? All I want is the different flavored items.
I just don't like "Tobacco" flavored in anything electronic. If I want my Tobacco flavor I just smoke a real Marlboro Red 83…. 🙂
The CE5 is the latest version of the Atomizer, it is rebuildable and it puts more vapor then any other.
Yes, you can load it with different flavors, soon to come on the website.
With this unit, the vapor is like smoking a Regular Hookah, with larger volumes of vapor, you will love it, especially when mixing flavors into the cartomizer.

Why do I need a list server when I can send emails from my
A list server specializes in the delivery of mass emails. To
send an email campaign from your desktop, you would either have
to send one email to every recipient or carbon-copy all recipients
(thereby showing the addresses to everyone). With a list server,
you send one email and the list server software distributes that
email to your list.
A list server also deals with bounced email messages more efficiently
than a regular email server. Your email host will not appreciate
a ton of bounced emails clogging their incoming mail server.
Why should I pay for a list server when I can get it for
free from other sites?
Many sites offer free list servers, but you will also find that
they post banner ads on your list server site and do not offer
the features or service of a professional list server company. In this
case, the adage "You get what you pay for" is true.
Do I need a web site in order to use list servers?
No, you only need an email account. You may use one of our
domains for your web interface if you do not have a web site
of your own.
Will I be charged for using services beyond my contract?
We sell all services with specific maximums. All list services
are monitored and should you exceed your contracted limits on
a consistent basis, you will need to upgrade your service.
Will my list show banner ads?
No, we will never display text or graphic banner ads on your
Will I need to buy any software?
No, all list server software resides on our system. With the
LetterRIP ® list server you will manage your list with email
commands. With the Lyris ® list server you will manage your list
with either email commands or the web interface.
Does it matter what operating system or browser I use?
No. Since you will be managing your list server via email or
the web, any operating system, browser or email application should
be compatible.
Do I need much experience with lists to administer Lyris
No, the Lyris ® list server is very easy to use. We provide
an online manual and each option for your listserve links directly
to a help section in the online manual. For the most part, once
we set up your listserve, you only need to add members and post messages.
What version of Lyris ® does A-List Hosting use?
We currently use version 4 of Lyris ®. We will likely
upgrade to version 5 in the short-term future and will upgrade
to version 6 when it has proven to be completely stable. We prefer
reliability over new features.

Ball Don't Lie's Around the NBA Daily 2013-2014 Edition
With training camp right around the corner, and this board being dead as a doorknob, I figured I would post this a bit early to try and generate some good discussion about basketball again. Here is my 2013-2014 preview of the NBA:
Northwest Division:
Utah Jazz
Projected Starters: Alec Burks, Brandon Rush, Gordon Hayward, Derrick Favors, Enes Kanter
Rotation players: John Lucas III, Alec Burks, Richard Jefferson, Rudy Gobert
Key Additions: Alec Burks, Brandon Rush
This is year 1 of the Jazz' rebuild, as they have finally decided to strip down their roster and build from the ground up. We will see how good their frontcourt really can be this year, with all 3 projected to get as many minutes as they can handle, given their bench situation, which may be the worst in the NBA. They're going to be awful, but it'll be fun watching their frontcourt blossom and put up big numbers in the process.
Denver Nuggets
Projected Starters: Ty Lawson, Evan Fournier, Wilson Chandler, Kenneth Faried, Javale McGee
Rotation players: Andre Miller, Nate Robinson, Randy Foye, JJ Hickson, Timofey Mozgov
Key Additions: Nate Robinson, Randy Foye, JJ Hickson
Denver once again has 12 quality players(Arthur and Hamilton look like the odd guys out, with Andre Miller possibly joining them given their additions this offseason in the backcourt) going into the season, but once again lack the star power to be able to take that next step as a franchise. With Iguodala gone, and Gallo not expected back until the new year, Ty Lawson will be relied upon even moreso to create offence, and we'll see if he can reach that next level as a PG, because that's the only way they're making the playoffs this year(unless Brian Shaw is able to give McGee a brain transplant, and somehow gets him to play 30 quality minutes in a starters role).
Portland Trail Blazers
Projected Starters: Damian Lillard, Wes Matthews, Nicolas Batum, LaMarcus Aldridge, Robin Lopez
Rotation players: Mo Williams, CJ McCollum, Dorrell Wright, Thomas Robinson, Meyers Leonard
Key Additions: Robin Lopez, Mo Williams, Dorrell Wright
Portland quietly had one of the better offseasons in the NBA, as they were able to pick up all 3 of their key additions on really cheap, cap friendly deals, or in Lopez' case, in a salary dump during a 3 way trade. Their depth is much improved, but they have to stay healthy, and the Lillard/Aldridge tandem really needs to produce big for them to be a lower seed come playoff time. This is the year that Aldridge really needs to prove he can be an elite bigman, as he's going to have to be the primary rebounder on the floor now that Hickson signed with Denver, while still having to produce 20+ points per night.
Oklahoma City Thunder
Projected Starters: Russell Westbrook, Thabo Sefolosha, Kevin Durant, Serge Ibaka, Kendrick Perkins
Rotation players: Reggie Jackson, Jeremy Lamb, Perry Jones, Nick Collison, Steven Adams
Key Additions: No one
OKC, like last offseason, chose to go the cheap route by not picking up any free agents. They're putting even more pressure on Durant and Westbrook to do even more, especially if Lamb or Jackson don't step into the 6th man scorer role effectively, as they'll have no one to consistently provide offence off of the bench, which will really hurt them against the elite teams in the NBA if one of them is having an off night. Usually in this kind of spot, with a team that's on the brink of something great(and also wanting to keep its superstar happy) I'd say they're likely to make a trade to bring in a veteran player to improve their scoring off of the bench, but judging by past history, that just isn't going to happen. OKC, welcome to 2nd round purgatory(if they're lucky) until their management decides to stop being cheap.
Minnesota Timberwolves
Projected Starters: Ricky Rubio, Kevin Martin, Chase Budinger, Kevin Love, Nikola Pekovic
Rotation players: JJ Barea, Alexey Shved, Corey Brewer, Derrick Williams, Dante Cunningham
Key Additions: Kevin Martin, Corey Brewer
The only way Minnesota doesn't make the playoffs is if they don't stay healthy again. Otherwise, this is a very deep, very offensively potent team with a lot of players who are capable of helping them win games on different nights. Much like Aldridge, this is a big year for Love to prove he too belongs in the NBA's elite. The other question with this roster will be their wing defence, as Martin obviously isnt good, and Budinger is average, but their rebounding and scoring output should help combat that.
Pacific Division:
Los Angeles Lakers
Projected Starters: Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Wesley Johnson, Jordan Hill, Pau Gasol
Rotation players: Steve Blake, Jodie Meeks, Nick Young, Shawne Williams, Chris Kaman
Key Additions: Nick Young, Chris Kaman
I don't think anyone has any idea what the Lakers starting 5 will look like on opening night, as there's a lot of questions to be answered in terms of Kobes health, whether D'Antoni wants to go super smallball with Meeks starting, or if they just want to go full offence mode and start Young. Either way, this roster is a mess, and they will likely be in the bottom 5 in terms of defensive efficiency. If Kobe isn't fully healed, expect LA to be out of the playoff picture by early 2014, unless Gasol and Nash find the fountain of youth, and D'Antoni magically becomes a good Head Coach.
Los Angeles Clippers
Projected Starters: Chris Paul, JJ Redick, Jared Dudley, Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan
Rotation players: Darren Collison, Jamal Crawford, Matt Barnes, Antawn Jamison, Byron Mullens
Key Additions: JJ Redick, Jared Dudley, Darren Collison, Byron Mullens
The Clippers had a great offseason in adding consistent 3 point shooting into their starting unit, something they've lacked since Paul came to the team. The bench looks very good much like last season as well. This season will be all about Doc Rivers ability to coach, which is something I still question, as he's been able to hide behind the greatness of the Celtics the past 5 years. This team won 57 games last year, but it doesn't really matter how many they win this year, their success will be based off of their playoff performance, which will be directly based off of how Doc is able to coach Jordan, Griffin, and Mullens to become MUCH better defensively. Lastly, he has to help Griffin take his game to the next level on offence, as he needs to be a dominant post scorer come playoff time by making much quicker decisions, and using his unbelieveable quickness to his advantage. I hate to say it again, but see Love/Aldridge, with regard to Blakes growth as a player.
Phoenix Suns
Projected Starters: Goran Dragic, Eric Bledsoe, PJ Tucker, Markieff Morris, Marcin Gortat
Rotation players: Kendall Marshall, Archie Goodwin, Shannon Brown, Marcus Morris, Alex Len
Key Additions: Eric Bledsoe, Alex Len
This is one really ugly looking roster, 2nd to only Philadelphia in terms of teams blatantly tanking. We will learn this year if Bledsoe is cut out to be a starting player in the NBA, and the other younger players(even Gerald Green) will have a lot of opportunities under new Head Coach Jeff Hornacek. Unless Hornacek is the second coming of Thibodeau, they should be in the bottom 5 with regard to defence, and team record(probably offence too in looking at their starting 2/3, and chuckers on the bench). Let the rebuild begin.
Golden State Warriors
Projected Starters: Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, David Lee, Andrew Bogut
Rotation players: Toney Douglas, Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green, Marreese Speights, Jermaine O'Neal
Key Additions: Andre Iguodala, Marreese Speights
The Warriors come back this year with an even better roster than last, which made the second round of the playoffs last season. Adding Iguodala will not only bolster their perimeter defence and allow them to play one of the most lethal smallball lineups in the league, but take pressure off of Curry early in games and 3rd quarters to not always have to create offence. Jack did well in this role off of the bench, but the main difference between him and Iggy in the same type of role on offence is Iggy won't play hero ball at the end of games like Jack often did, where Curry will now have to prove time and again that he is elite. If Curry and Bogut can go into the playoffs healthy again, look for the Warriors to take another step in terms of their progress, and make, in the least, the Conference Finals this season.
Sacramento Kings
Projected Starters: Greivas Vasquez, Marcus Thornton, Luc Mbah A Moute, Jason Thompson, DeMarcus Cousins
Rotation players: Isaiah Thomas, Ben McLemore, John Salmons, Carl Landry, Chuck Hayes
Key Additions: Greivas Vasquez, Ben McLemore
I almost just copy pasted last years preview of this team, besides the part where I mentioned it was Tyrekes last year to prove himself, because they're coming into this year with almost exactly the same roster. They've upgraded their point guard depth with Vasquez, but they are still going to be abysmal defensively because they still have almost the same lineup as last year, plus Vasquez is nowhere near as good defensively as Thomas(again, even with Thomas in the lineup, they still sucked). Their bench unit has improved with Thomas and Landry being a nice pick and roll duo, as well as the addition of McLemore, but they're going to be in the cellar in the West for yet another season.
Southwest Division:
Dallas Mavericks
Projected Starters: Jose Calderon, Monta Ellis, Shawn Marion, Dirk Nowitzki, Samuel Dalembert
Rotation players: Gal Mekel, Vince Carter, Wayne Ellington, Dejuan Blair, Brandan Wright
Key Additions: Jose Calderon, Monta Ellis, Samuel Dalembert, Devin Harris(inj)
The Mavericks decided to go with the Milwaukee Bucks rebuilding plan, in signing fringe starters to unmoveable long term contracts in the hopes of just making the playoffs. Although this team will score a lot of points, be a lot of fun to watch, and fight for the 8th seed, it won't be worth it because they've handcuffed themselves in terms of their financial flexibility for the future, assuming Dirk doesn't do Cuban a favor and take a lot less money on his next contract. They're going to be awesome offensively, and one of the worst defensively. Expect Rick Carlisle to lose all of his hair before the end of the season.
San Antonio Spurs
Projected Starters: Tony Parker, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, Tim Duncan, Tiago Splitter
Rotation players: Corey Joseph, Manu Ginobili, Marco Belinelli, Matt Bonner, Tiago Splitter
Key Additions: Marco Belinelli
The Spurs weren't active this offseason, nor should they have been, coming off of a season where they were one shot away from winning the championship. I love their addition of Belinelli, who will allow Ginobili to not only play a lot less minutes, but also lessen his role on offence in the playoffs due to his ability to handle the ball in the second unit. The Spurs are prime for another run at the title this season, so long as father time does not catch up to Tim Duncan. Kawhi Leonard will likely become more of an option now for the Spurs in the halfcourt offence, which should lessen the workload for Duncan in the regular season, allowing him to stay fresh for the playoffs.
Houston Rockets
Projected Starters: Jeremy Lin, James Harden, Chandler Parsons, Terrence Jones, Dwight Howard
Rotation players: Patrick Beverley, Francisco Garcia, Reggie Williams, Donatas Motiejunas, Omer Asik
Key Additions: Dwight Howard
Houston had the best offseason in the NBA in adding Dwight Howard. They've also added veterans not listed in the 'rotation players' with Aaron Brooks, Omri Casspi, and Marcus Camby(they still have Greg Smith as well) who will all likely play throughout the year but won't be rotation players unless there's injuries. Harden and Dwight will likely lead this team to being the best offensive team in the league, but their success will come at the defensive end with Lin, Harden, and their Power Forward combination of Jones and Donatas having to dig in defensively if they're really going to have any success in the playoffs this upcoming season. They also have to figure out what they're going to do with Omer Asik, who likely won't fit as the starting 4 due to offensive spacing issues, but is far too good to come off the bench and only play 15 minutes per game, which could cause a problem for the Rockets at the start of the season. If they can gain chemistry early and at least be average on defence, they should win at least one round in the playoffs. Their best case scenario this year is a title contender, if everything goes right, because they definitely have the talent and supporting cast to make a big push this season.
New Orleans Hornets
Projected Starters: Jrue Holiday, Eric Gordon, Tyreke Evans, Anthony Davis, Jason Smith
Rotation players: Brian Roberts, Austin Rivers,Al Farouq Aminu, Ryan Anderson, Greg Stiemsma
Key Additions: Jrue Holiday, Tyreke Evans
For me, this is the hardest team in the league to predict. They have 4 really good players in their starting lineup who are capable of having a big game on any given night, and if they mesh together offensively, this could be a really good team even in the West because they have one of the best Head Coaches in the NBA, especially with respect to defence. You know this team is going to be in the top 10 defensively, not only because of Monty Williams system, but now you have capable, talented players throughout the lineup. The real question with this team, again, is how they're going to run their offence when their 1-3 positions are usually ball dominant players, though Jrue and Gordon have shown that they can play off of the ball effectively, and Tyreke really improved from the 3 point line this season. With Davis' improvement, and the defensive potential of this team, I like their chances of making the playoffs as a low seed in the West.
Memphis Grizzlies
Projected Starters: Mike Conley, Tony Allen, Quincy Pondexter, Zach Randolph, Marc Gasol
Rotation players: Jerryd Bayless, Mike Miller, Tayshaun Prince, Ed Davis, Kosta Koufos
Key Additions: Mike Miller
The Grizzlies upgraded their roster a bit this offeason by swapping Arthur for Koufos, who will have a bigger imapct off of the bench, but more importantly it opens up minutes for Ed Davis at the 4, and 5 positions in smallball lineups. I expect the Grizzlies to start Pondexter this year to space the floor better, and bring Prince off of the bench. Overall, they have the same ceiling as last season, as a team that can win 1 round but doesn't have enough firepower to be a true contender.

Southeast Division
Atlanta Hawks-
Projected Starters: Jeff Teague, Kyle Korver, Demarre Carroll, Paul Millsap, Al Horford
Rotation players: Dennis Schroder, Lou Williams(inj), John Jenkins, Mike Scott, Elton Brand
Key Additions: Paul Millsap, Dennis Schroder
Atlanta couldn't bring Dwight and CP3 together this offseason, so like Dallas, they brought in players who would help them stay compettitive, but they were able to do so by signing said players to much more cap friendly deals. They will still fight for the lower seeds in the Eastern playoffs, but I don't think they have enough scoring on their roster if Lou Williams isn't back at the start of the regular season.
Orlando Magic
Projected Starters: Jameer Nelson, Victor Oladipo, Aaron Afflalo, Tobias Harris, Nikola Vucevic
Rotation players: E'Twaun Moore, Moe Hawkless, Andrew Nicholson, Glen Davis, Kyle O'Quinn
Key Additions: Victor Oladipo
The Magic only made one small free agent pick up in Maxiell who likely wont play much this season, as they're in year 2 of their rebuild. Their 1st year was a big success in terms of acquiring many very good young prospects in the Howard/JJ Reddick trades, and I expect them to move at least Afflalo and Davis, if not Nelson as well before the trade deadline ends, to open up more minutes to the slew of wing players and guards on their roster. The Magic are going to be bad again next year, but next offseason is when they're going to try and make their splash, and it should be a big one with cap space and another lottery pick being added to an already flush with young talent roster.
Charlotte Bobcats
Projected Starters: Kemba Walker, Gerald Henderson, Michael Kidd Gilchrest, Josh McRoberts, Al Jefferson
Rotation players: Ramon Sessions, Ben Gordon, Jeff Taylor, Cody Zeller, Bismack Biyombo
Key Additions: Al Jefferson, Cody Zeller
The Bobcats finally brought in some frontcourt talent in adding Jefferson and Zeller. Jefferson should have another 20+10 season as the number one option in Charlotte, but they will struggle on both sides of the ball again this season due to their lack of interior presence on defence, and lack of wing scoring on offence. If MKG can break out this season, this would change everything for the Bobcats, who would have a shot then of making the playoffs, but his jumpshot still looks broken, and if it is, defences won't respect him enough on the perimeter to open up his underrated driving and passing ability because they'll be able to play so far off of him again.
Washington Wizards
Projected Starters: John Wall, Bradley Beal, Martell Webster, Emeka Okafor, Nene
Rotation players: Eric Maynor, Otto Porter, Trevor Ariza, Trevor Booker, Kevin Seraphin
Key Additions: Eric Maynor, Otto Porter
The Wizards biggest improvement this year will come from their backcourt, and not so much from the good bench pieces they brought in to help bolster the roster(Maynor, Porter, Harrington). John Wall was one of the best point guards in the NBA when he returned in the 2nd half of the season, and I expect him to take his game to a pre injury Rose level this season. I believe Beal will take a big leap this year as well, becoming one of the leagues most lethal shooting guards. If they're able to stay healthy and build chemistry early as one of the highest scoring backcourts in the NBA, and their defence continues to improve as it did in the 2nd half of last season, then the Wizards should make the playoffs for the first time in 5 years.
Miami Heat
Projected Starters: Mario Chalmers, Dwyane Wade, Lebron James, Udonis Haslem, Chris Bosh
Rotation players: Norris Cole, Ray Allen, Michael Beasley, Chris Anderson
Key Additions: Michael Beasley, Greg Oden
The Heat essentially stood pat this offseason, only adding two players who are low risk, high reward signings. If Beasley can stay out of trouble, and shed his lazy habits, he could be a very good pick up for Miami as a nice scoring option off of the bench for the Heat. The Heat are hoping Oden is healthy and able to play 10-15 minutes per game come playoff time for when they have to contend with Hibbert and Noah. Both players are unlikely to contribute to the Heat based off the past, but if they do, Miami will be even tougher to beat this season. If they don't end up contributing, then Miami will hope that Wade is healthy when it matters, as he is the teams X factor in terms of putting them over the top in the later rounds of the playoffs.
Central Division:
Chicago Bulls
Projected Starters: Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler, Luol Deng, Carlos Boozer, Joakim Noah
Rotation players: Kirk Hinrich, Mike Dunleavy, Tony Snell, Taj Gibson, Erik Murphy
Key Additions: Tony Snell, Mike Dunleavy, Erik Murphy
The Bulls had a really good draft in selecting Snell, and Murphy, two players who will contribute immediately off of the bench for them. Both players give the Bulls much needed shooting and energy off of the bench, to go along with the veteran play of Hinrich, Dunleavy, and Gibson. Ultimately, the Bulls season hinders on Rose's recovery and how good he can be coming back from major knee surgery. If he's 90+% of what he was pre injury, the Bulls will be legitimate title contenders, as they have finally found a legit starting shooting guard to pair with Rose who is a very good 2 way player. IF Rose is healthy again, I think they have the second best chance of knocking off the Heat this offseason, only behind the Pacers.
Detroit Pistons
Projected Starters: Brandon Jennings, Kentavious Caldwell Pope, Josh Smith, Greg Monroe, Andre Drummond
Rotation players: Chauncey Billups, Rodney Stuckey, Kyle Singler, Luigi Datome, Josh Harrelson
Key Additions: Brandon Jennings, Josh Smith, Kentavious Caldwell Pope
The Pistons decided to scrap the rebuilding strategy, and try to emulate the formula that helped them win the championship in 2004, by acquiring unwanted players with a lot of talent, and hoping the talent meshes together. I don't believe the Josh Smith at Small Forward experiment is going to last long in today's NBA game which is all about spacing on the wings(which is why I think Pope will start over Stuckey), so they're going to have to decifer a rotation that works, which may end up being bringing Drummond off of the bench, and splitting the minutes at the power forward and center positions equally between him, Smith, and Drummond. The Pistons are essentially the Hornets of the East in terms of being unpredictable due to having a complete roster makeover, but I think that they will ultimately figure things out this season, and the renewed model of bringing in highly troubled, yet highly motivated players will work, as I think both Jennings and Smith will have good seasons, and help lead the Pistons back into the playoffs. If Jennings especially doesn't grow up this season, the Pistons will be in a lot of trouble not only this season, but the future as well since they are already tied up financially with Monroes extension upcoming.
Cleveland Cavaliers
Projected Starters: Kyrie Irving, Dion Waiters, Earl Clark, Tristan Thompson, Andrew Bynum(inj?)
Rotation players: Jarrett Jack, CJ Miles, Alonzo Gee, Anthony Bennett, Anderson Varejao, Tyler Zeller
Key Additions: Andrew Bynum, Anthony Bennett, Jarrett Jack, Earl Clark
The Cavaliers had a very good offseason, in adding one of the best 6th men in the NBA, and a lot of frontcourt depth and talent. They needed an infusion of talent in the frontcourt to be able to combat the inevitable injuries to Varejao, and likely many missed games from Bynum. Even if both players are out at the same time, they will now still have a solid 4 man rotation of Clark, Bennett, Thompson, and Zeller to be able to play solid extended minutes if need be. I don't think there's any doubt that this team will be in the playoffs this season with Kyrie leading the way, but their success in terms of what seed they'll be will determined by Waiters growth as a player, in my opinion, as he would make them a much better team if he would commit to the defensive side of the ball, and stop taking so many bad shots on offence. If he doesn't, I don't think Mike Brown will hesitate to play Jack 30+ minutes per game, but in doing so, Cleveland will suffer as teams will exploit their lack of height in the backcourt.
Milwaukee Bucks
Projected Starters: Brandon Knight, OJ Mayo, Caron Butler, Ersan Ilyasova, Larry Sanders
Rotation players: Luke Ridnour, Gary Neal, Carlos Delfino, John Henson, Zaza Pachulia
Key Additions: Brandon Knight, OJ Mayo, Carlos Delfino
The treadmill rolls on.
Indiana Pacers
Projected Starters: George Hill, Paul George, Danny Granger, David West, Roy Hibbert
Rotation players: CJ Watson, Lance Stephenson, Chris Copeland, Luis Scola, Ian Mahinmi
Key Additions: CJ Watson, Chris Copeland, Luis Scola
The Pacers have one of the best management teams in the NBA. They had one of the worst benches in the NBA, so this offseason they went out and got 3 very good role players to bolster their bench scoring, while also adding Granger back into the mix. They have had a fantastic offseason, and they are prime to beat the Heat this year.
Atlantic Division:
Boston Celtics
Projected Starters: Rajon Rondo(inj), Avery Bradley, Jeff Green, Brandon Bass, Kelly Olynyk
Rotation players: Courtney Lee, Marshon Brooks, Kris Humphries, Jared Sullinger,
Key Additions: Kelly Olynyk
The Big 3 is finally gone, and Rondo is going to be out for the first month plus. The Celtics are likely going to be in the tank after the first month of the season, and all bets are off when Rondo comes back in terms of how he handles losing. It'll be very interesting to see which direction Ainge goes in if rumors begin about Rondo being unhappy once he returns from injury. Either way, they're going to be in the lottery this year.
Philadelphia 76ers
Projected Starters: Michael Carter-Williams, Evan Turner, James Anderson, Thaddeus Young, Spencer Hawes
Rotation players: Tony Wroten, Arnett Moultrie, Lavoy Allen, Nerlens Noel
Key Additions: Michael Carter-Williams, Nerlens Noel
If any team was going to get fined for tanking before the year started, it'd be the 2013-14 Philadelphia 76ers. Their best player is Thaddeus Young. Think about that for a second. They may end up being the worst team of all time. They're going to have some games where only 4000 fans fill the stands this year.
New York Knicks
Projected Starters: Raymond Felton, Pablo Prigioni, Iman Shumpert, Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler
Rotation players: Beno Udrih, JR Smith, Metta World Peace, Andrea Bargnani, Amare Stoudemire
Key Additions: Metta World Peace, Andrea Bargnani
I think one thing is for certain with this roster, is that their defensive efficiency is going to go down if both Bargnani and Amare are healthy, and playing at the same time(doesn't even have to be together). The good thing about their roster is they have a lot of talented players, but Mike Brown is going to have to show that he's a damn good coach to make it work to become title contenders this season. I still believe that their best chance of beating the top 4 teams in the East is to keep Amares minutes down this season, but have him play exclusively in lineups with Carmelo and Chandler so they can gain chemistry together, and when the playoffs begin, they can increase his minutes and that lineup will give them the best chance of beating the elite in the East. I think the Knicks are destined for a 5th seed finish and a 1st round exit this season, barring injuries.
Toronto Raptors
Projected Starters: Kyle Lowry, Demar Derozan, Rudy Gay, Amir Johnson, Jonas Valanciunas
Rotation players: DJ Augustin, Terrence Ross, Landry Fields, Steve Novak, Tyler Hansbrough
Key Additions: Tyler Hansbrough
I'm not going to go with the cautiously optomistic prediction this year, as I've taken off my rose tinted glasses. A lot of things need to go right for us to make the playoffs this year. First of all, our defence needs be improve drastically from last season. Second, Casey needs to impliment an entirely new system on offence, that hopefully does not involve either Demar or Gay trying to create shots starting behind the 3 point line(hopefully he plays to their strengths and posts them up, or screens for them to catch the ball in the 15-18 foot area EARLY in the clock). Also, Jonas needs to be a lot more involved in the offence, as he should be used in a lot more pick and roll plays, and high low opportunities with Amir, who is an underrated passer. Third, someone from our bench needs to step up and be a high volume bench scorer, which will likely come down to either Buycks, who I expect will unseat DJ for the backup point guard position before Christmas, or Ross. If that doesn't happen, then our bench will be awful, and we'll have no chance of making the playoffs, where we had a small chance previously. In conclusion, if all of these things happen we can retain the 7th or 8th seed, but the odds of that are very, very low. Tank nation commence!
Brooklyn Nets
Projected Starters: Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Brook Lopez
Rotation players: Shaun Livingston, Jason Terry, Andrei Kirilenko, Mirza Teletovic, Andray Blatche
Key Additions: Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Andrei Kirilenko
The Nets are all in the next 2 seasons, and they have an extremely talented roster from top to bottom. When Reggie Evans is your 11th man, you're doing something right. The key to Brooklyn winning the championship this season is Brook Lopez. He needs to be a sponge this year, and go into training camp with an open mind. He needs to learn from Garnett and Kirilenko, in terms of where to be on rotations in every scenario, and to be their anchor in the paint on both offence and defence. If he elevates his game and becomes a complete player, Brooklyn is going to be extremely difficult to beat in the playoffs with their size, length, veteran savvy, and depth. I expect Deron Williams to have his best year as a Net as well with all of the open space he'll have with the talent surrounding him, but ultimately the Nets fate lies in Lopez' hands.

I think Dallas is going to do better then most people think with their veteran team. Also, I think the Pacers will come on top of the East. We are talking about team that took Miami to 7 and now with a healthy Danny Granger, Luis Scola, CJ Watson, and now with a lot more experience they will take it to the next level. Expecting George and Hibbert to be sure shot All-Stars.

An advocate for immigrant workers
Marsha Chien L'10 is a Skadden Fellow at the Legal Aid Society-Employment Law Center (LAS-ELC) in the National Origin, Immigration and Language Rights program. Before enrolling at Penn Law, she worked as a consultant in New York for a year and then as a Peace Corps volunteer in a Mayan village in Guatemala. In a video feature, she described her law school experience and commitment to lawyering in the public interest.
I'm Marsha Chien, I graduated in 2010. I'm a Skadden Fellow at the Legal Aid Society – Employment Law Center in the National Origin, Immigration, and Language Rights Project.
As a Skadden Fellow, we represent undocumented workers, people who are discriminated against based on their national origin, usually for language issues. They might face an English-only policy in their workplace, which means their employer will say everyone can only speak English, regardless of the fact of whether or not that person's primary language is Spanish, and their supervisor speaks Spanish and their clients or customer speaks Spanish. We feel that is a basis of discrimination based on national origin.
One of the highlights working there was representing a worker and responding to them in Spanish. Then, just based on my response, which was a very short email, saying yes we got your documents, he sent a response that was a page long… [saying] "Just for the fact that you speak Spanish, I am so grateful, it means so much that you don't think I'm a criminal. I just came here to work lawfully to support my family." And it just made me realize just how important language is to each individual client.
I think Penn has supported me from the very beginning. From the scholarship I was on that helped me pay for my law school education to the dean of public interest, who has always been there guiding me as to which professor I should be talking to, which organization I should be contacting to work with, and even after when I was applying to fellowships - they were still, when I was living across the country… phoning me [with] mock interview questions, which was great.
This transcript was edited for length.

Unit Closure
Lesson 15 of 16
Objective: SWBAT: • Add, subtract, multiply and divide with decimals • Create equivalent fractions, decimals, and percents
Big Idea: What's the best deal? How do you represent equivalent amounts? Students work on these questions as they wrap up Unit 2.
Do Now
See my Do Now in my Strategy folder that explains my beginning of class routines.
Often, I create do nows that have problems that connect to the task that students will be working on that day. Here I want students to quickly practice multiplying and dividing with decimals. I have students share estimates, strategies, and answers. I look around for common mistakes and address them. Are students remembering to put the 0 in the quotient? How are students deciding where to put the decimal point? Are they making and using estimates?
Resources (2)
Resources (2)
Group Work
- Before this lesson, I use quiz data and the ticket to go from the previous lesson (Unit 2 Review Stations) to Create Homogeneous Groups.
- I determine what are the most pressing needs of for each of these groups. If there is a small group that is still struggling with decimal operations, I will meet with them to work with whiteboards. Groups who still need practice will start with the School Supplies Task and move on to the Equivalent Amount Tasks. Groups who are doing well will start with the Pizza Party Task and move on to the Equivalent Amount Tasks. It may save time to fill out the group to do lists before class.
I tell students their groups and their assignments. I have students move to their groups and I have a volunteer pass out materials and the Group Work Rubric. Students are engaging in MP1: Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them as well as MP6: Attend to precision.
If I have a small group that is working on decimal operations, every few minutes I walk around the class to monitor student progress and behavior.
Resources (7)
Closure and Homework
For Closure I ask students how to represent 40% as a fraction and a decimal. I ask if 0.04 is equivalent to 40%. How do you represent 1/6 as a decimal and percent. I am looking for students to explain that they found a repeating decimal. I am interested to see how they represent 1/6 as a percent.
Next I ask students strategies they use to add and subtract decimals. What about multiplying and dividing? How can estimates help you?
I do not give a ticket to go, but instead I collect student work. I pass out the HW Unit 2 Closure.

To Dip Is to Love.
The Dog Days of Summer are upon us. Gardens are exploding. Vegetables are shiny fresh and happy. From A to Z, produce is queen. 'Tis the season of abundance. You know where I'm going with this, right? Need I say more, Dearest Reader? Do I really have to wax poetic and effusive about the humble cucurbita pepo known as zucchini? Do you crave another verbal celebration of le fabuleux courgette?
Here's my advice. Try these amazing gluten-free fried zucchini chips.
Comfort food Italian style.
Karina's Gluten-Free Fried Zucchini Chips Recipe with Lime-Mint Dipping SauceRecipe posted August 2012.
The gluten-free combo of ground hazelnuts and brown rice flour gives these golden chips a subtle nutty flavor and delicate crunch. I used organic Canola oil to fry these, but you could also use grapeseed oil or any organic oil suitable for high heat cooking. Choose slender, smallish zucchini squash for these chips, not huge, fat zukes.
Organic No-GMO Canola oil or other high-heat cooking oil
1 cup ground hazelnut meal
1 cup sorghum flour
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon organic garlic powder
4 slender, firm zucchini squash
1 large organic free-range egg, beaten
Heat about an inch and a half of Canola oil in a heavy bottomed skillet, over medium heat.
Meanwhile, in a shallow soup plate, whisk together the hazelnut meal, sorghum flour, sea salt and garlic powder. Set aside.
Wash and trim the zucchini squash. Evenly slice the squash on a slight diagonal to create 1/4-inch thick chips. Press and pat the slices with a paper towel and set aside.
Pour the beaten egg into a shallow bowl. Working in batches, dip each zucchini slice into the beaten egg, and allow excess to drip off. Dredge the coated slice in the gluten-free flour mixture, patting it to coat both sides.
When the oil is hot (about 325º to 350ºF), carefully place several zucchini slices into the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown on both sides. Don't overcrowd the pan- give the chips some space to sizzle and crisp up.
Use silicone-coated tongs to remove the chips, and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Note: Keep a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a 300ºF oven (especially if you are making several batches), and keep the fried chips warm until serving.
Serve immediately with a creamy dipping sauce. See my easy dipping sauce recipe below.
Yield: Serves 4

Vegan and Dairy-Free Lime-Mint Dipping SauceRecipe posted August 2012.
This light and creamy lime-mint sauce brings out the fresh green taste of tender zucchini chips. And it's a snap to make, thanks to Vegenaise. I love using Vegenaise as a super quick base for non-dairy dips and sauces. It has a lovely bright taste that is not too tangy or mustardy. And it's not too sweet.
1/2 cup Vegenaise
Juice from half a lime
1 packed tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint leaves
Sea salt and ground pepper, to taste
Combine the the Vegenaise, lime juice, fresh mint, sea salt and pepper. Taste test. Add more lime or mint, as you prefer.
Makes about a half cup of dairy-free dip.

Quinton Gerard Blackburn, 92
Quinton Gerard Blackburn, 92, of Springfield, Idaho passed away Thursday, June 12, 2014 at his home, surrounded by his family.
Quinton was born July 22, 1921 in Springfield, Idaho to Dewey Earl Blackburn and Valine Ellen Gutting. He spent his lifetime in Springfield, other than the time he spent in the military.
He attended school in Springfield and at Thomas High School. He then went on to get an associate's degree in Accounting from the University of Idaho Southern Branch. He enlisted, even though he could have deferred, and served his country in World War II in the United States Army Infantry. He spent most of his time in Germany. Quinton was wounded twice and received two purple hearts.
On Dec. 23, 1942 Quinton married Velda Mae McKnight in Moreland, Idaho. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on May 4, 1944. Together they had seven sons: Terrell, Brent, Kevin, Varon, Chad, Parker and Joel.
Quinton was a dairy farmer, sold mutual funds and was the first one to bring windshield welding to this area 25 years ago. He was known as the Window Welder.
In his free time he enjoyed reading scripture and church publications, taking long rides with Velda, playing the harmonica and dancing. He was a boxer during his high school and college years, winning several trophies. He raised and enjoyed horses, but his greatest joy was being with his family.
He was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served as a councilor in the bishopric three different times. He loved singing in the ward choir.
He played with the "Harmoneers", a group of harmonica players and one piano player. He was a member and president of the Springfield Townsite Water District.
Quinton is survived by his sons: Brent Reed Blackburn of Angleton, Texas; Kevin M (Connie) Blackburn of Kingston, Tenn.; Varon Quinton (Verena) Blackburn of Idaho Falls, Idaho; Parker M (Diana) Blackburn of Blue Springs, Mo.; and Joel M (Botswana) Blackburn of Columbia, Mo.; sisters: Nada Shellhammer of Woodland, Calif. and Ruth Gneiting of Sterling, Idaho; 27 grandchildren, 46 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-granddaughter. also surviving are two daughters-in-law, Marlene Rounds, Idaho Falls, Idaho and June Thomas of Bountiful, Utah.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Velda; his parents, Dewey and Valine Blackburn; sons, Terrell M Blackburn and Chad M Blackburn; brothers, Daniel "Red" Blackburn and Martin Blackburn; sisters, Patricia Lea and Elaine Fotheringham; and infant sister, Geraldine.
A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, June 19, 2014 at the Lakeview LDS Church, 800 S. 2120 W. in Springfield, Idaho with Bishop Layne Harker conducting. Family will meet with friends and relatives from 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, June 18, 2014 at Hawker Funeral Home, 132 South Shilling Avenue in Blackfoot and for one hour prior to services at the church. Interment will follow services at the Moreland Cemetery. Condolences may be sent to the family online at www.hawkerfuneralhome.com

Squandering time and regarding it as something pleasant is an idea suggested to people by satan. In the society of the ignorant, frittering time away or "killing time," as they put it, is very common. But believers must spend every moment of the time Allah (God) blesses them with to increase their proximity to Him, reflect ever more deeply and serve Muslims and Islam.
Someone who sincerely believes in Allah must keep away from empty pastimes that satan portrays as attractive in the life of this world. Only in that way can one properly reflect deeply with a clear mind. Believers are described as turning their backs on empty and worthless things in the Qur'an:
[They are] those who turn away from what is vain. (Surat al-Muminun, 3)
Time is very valuable for people in this world. People must spend every moment seeking the greatest measure possible of Allah's approval. Just think, what if a person spends his time on hollow matters that will be of no benefit to him and if many things he thinks about are of no use or benefit in the Hereafter? A believer must be aware of the possibility of that at every moment and keep well away from ideas that are "pointless and unnecessary" but that satan portrays as very attractive and easy. Our Prophet (saas) said this on the subject:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
The Prophet (saas) said, "There are two blessings which many people lose: [They are] Health and free time for doing good." (Sahih Bukhari)
People who fritter away their time never reflect deeply on death, Paradise and Hell in the way they should. Believers, on the other hand, never for a moment forget that death is rapidly approaching and that everything in the world is created as a test. They reflect on their countless weaknesses that Allah shows them every day and turn to subjects that will draw them closer to Him. For instance, let us consider someone who spends his life on empty purposes and who prefers the life that satan portrays as so attractive, even though he can see the genuine intellectual struggle being waged by Muslims to tell people of the moral values of the Qur'an. On the Day of Judgment, that person will be asked why he spent his time on empty matters when he could make efforts to that end. Believers must take pains to avoid such behavior by using their consciences in this world, before encountering such a situation on the Day of Judgment. As we are told in one verse of the Qur'an, "What reason could you have for not fighting in the Way of Allah – for those men, women and children who are oppressed and say, 'Our Lord, take us out of this city whose inhabitants are wrongdoers! Give us a protector from You! Give us a helper from You!'?" (Surat an-Nisa', 75), believers must spend their lives preaching the word for Allah's approval in a manner that He will be pleased with, reflecting deeply and spreading Islamic moral values. Otherwise, many things they think about during the course of the day and many worldly matters they concentrate on will be of no benefit to them. On the contrary, this wasted time they will be unable to account for may inflict great losses on them in the Hereafter. The important thing is for the believer to be aware of this and to squander not even one single moment. Believers who make such genuine efforts are referred to as follows in the Qur'an:
Give the good news to those who believe and do right actions that they will have Gardens with rivers flowing under them. When they are given fruit there as provision, they will say, "This is what we were given before." But they were only given a simulation of it. They will have there spouses of perfect purity and will remain there timelessly, for ever. (Surat al-Baqara, 25)2008-12-10 22:16:42
As for those who believe and do right actions – We impose on no self any more than it can bear – they are the Companions of the Garden, remaining in it timelessly, for ever. (Surat al-A'raf, 42)

TOWN&COUNTRY is the authority on the meaning of modern society, and why it matters. These days, the financiers, entrepreneurs, athletes, artists, and entertainers who represent the pinnacle of American life are less likely to be found at Newport garden parties or Skull & Bones initiation dinners than at TED Talks, the Super Bowl, the Oscars, and the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. TOWN&COUNTRY showcases this seductive world of exceptional people and exclusive places, examining how the activities of these names and faces, their tastes and family traditions, status symbols and private clubs, important ideas and celebrated accomplishments, shape the very world in which we live.
TOWN&COUNTRY covers elite education, summer camps, and the complicated lives of rich kids; philanthropy from A to Z; Washington, DC, and Hollywood, two playgrounds where privilege and dynasty still reign supreme; dazzling jewelry, couture, and the finest things made by hand; notable wedding celebrations and the most talked-about parties; ultimate travel and remarkable cars; beauty secrets and anti-aging breakthroughs; houses of legendary design and character; fashion, edited for iconically stylish women and men whose clothes are the chic necessities of an ambitious life; and the behavior—for better or worse—of the one percent.

Leigh has introduced a new dovetail and box-joint making jig, the R9Plus, that has some cool new features, not the least of which is the ability to make precision joints on wide stock. The competitively priced jig uses a compact-sized template that can be shifted to extend its effective length. The template shifts then rests on sets of indexing pins to hold tight tolerances when it is moved. The indexing pin plates are mounted on a beam you make in your shop. The template is held securely to the beam with latching knobs you simply turn to clamp to the pin plates. The jig can be used by either clamping the beam to your bench or you can use the jig on a router table.
Leigh has also borrowed concepts from its other jigs to achieve tight joint tolerances without a lot of fussy adjustments. Both features worth mentioning here use the concept of a cam to dial-in adjustments. One of these new features is used to position the alignment of the pin and tail boards. Simply turn the side-stop adjustment knob to center the pin or tail board to the template. When set, no further side-stop adjustments are made which switching from routing tails to pins. The second cam-type adjustment is used to precisely fit the joint by adjusting the guide bushing to effectively increase or decrease the opening of the socket.
The R9Plus comes with an aluminum template for routing either through-dovetails or box joints, a dovetail router bit and straight bit, three pin plates, two F-style clamps for holding the work to the beam, the side-stop adjuster, the adjustable guide bushing and all the hardware needed for use with the shop made beam. The jig sells for about $160.
You can read a more detailed review of the R9 Plus in the December 2011 issue Popular Woodworking Magazine.

Huey in the Popular Woodworking Magazine online store ShopWoodworking.com, home to hundreds of woodworking books and videos and articles on many woodworking topics.

Dave Wood's Book Report, March 4, 2009
Award-winning Minnesota poet Larry Schug just sent me his new book, a gem called "Arrogant Bones,"(North Star Press, $12.95).
Schug works at the College of St. Benedict, by St. John's University, where Sen. and poet Eugene McCarthy went to schools.
Schug's down-to-earth, sardonic rural poems remind me of the senator's. There must be something in the water in Stearns County.
Here's the title poem:
'A broke-down old farm house
sinks into South Dakota prairie;
the ground here not fussy,
will eventually eat everything
placed on its plate
that the wind doesn't take first,
including families foolish enough to think
they could make a living with a bunch of kids
and that old steel-wheeled McCormick
rusting away out back;
but the soil's going to eat that, too
along with the stones tilting over arrogant bones
that thought their houses of flesh
would never succumb to fatal prairie gravity.'
Here's another, entitled "The Way Horses Are"
'He was silent for a moment,
then came back on the line,
a catch in his voice.
He said his horse, standing at the corral fence,
had been looking toward the house
since early this morning.
He's looking for me, he said,
doesn't understand
I don't have the strength any more
to go out and feed him, brush him,
scratch his ears.
He choked up again, said
that horse would wait for him
'til the end of its days,
unaware he'd reached the end of his.
That's just the way horses are.
My friend can't see me,
but I'm standing beside that horse
and I'll be looking for him
until the end of my days, too,
wishing we could talk once more.
That's just the way friends are.'
OK. Let's move from the sublime to the ridiculous with a sequel to Jordan Belfort's bestseller "The Wolf of Wall Street."
It's Belfort's personal story of Wall Street corruption during the go-go 1990s, about the millions he made, fortunes he squandered and how everything came crashing down.
"Catching the Wolf of Wall Street," (Bantam, $25) won't be anything new to Wall Street insiders, because the venality -- ah, let's call it depravity -- has always been there.
But for the neophyte it's a fascinating run through of what goes on in our country's fabled financial district.
The usually staid Times of London called this book's predecessor "A cross between Tom Wolfe's "The Bonfire of the Vanities" and Scorsese's "GoodFellas."
