Dr. Gotcher will host a Twitter Town Hall on Tuesday, October 3, 2017, from 6:30-8 p.m. on the social media platform Twitter. During the town hall, participants will have the opportunity to give feedback on three questions: what does RSD need to start doing, what does RSD need to stop doing, and what does RSD need to continue doing. The three questions will be released at different times throughout the evening on Dr. Gotcher's Twitter account @mlgotcher. Participants are asked to use the hashtag #RSDListens when responding to the questions. Dr. Gotcher will be in the Board Room at the Administration Building during the Twitter Town Hall. Community members, parents, staff, and students are welcome to attend and view the tweets as they come in. The district will also release an online survey with the same questions for anyone who wants to give feedback, but doesn't want to participate in the Twitter Town Hall. The Twitter Town Hall is part of Dr. Gotcher's Listen and Engage Plan that includes gathering feedback from students, parents, staff, and community members in the River Valley.
We are having a raffle for some amazing gift baskets! Tickets are $1 for 1, $5 for 6, or $10 for 12. The drawing will be held Monday, October 9.

Family members and friends can purchase raffle tickets as well! Thank you to all of the wonderful businesses and people that donated items to support our school. We hope to see you at the Cougar Carnival on October 6 from 6 pm to 8 pm!! You can purchase raffle tickets with the form coming home today, in the office, or at the Carnival!
The Cougar Carnival is in three weeks! We are still accepting donations of individually wrapped candy. Sending two bags to school with your child helps tremendously. If you would like to save time waiting in line the night of the carnival, please preorder your tickets and wristbands. We are SO excited to have a night of fun with our school family!

See the Documents section of our website for the latest Specialist Scoop Newsletter!
PTO Welcome Packets are coming home today!! These bright yellow forms are full of information regarding PTO membership, ways to volunteer at CVE, and the student directory. Please return the forms with your child as soon as possible. We need lots of parents and volunteers to pull off various events throughout the year. PTO gives classroom teachers $100 every year to buy necessary supplies for their classrooms, provides dinners to teachers on conference nights, funds field trips, birthday buttons, spelling bee awards, reading awards, teacher appreciation week, and a book for each child at Christmas. We host Fall Fest, Cougar Christmas, and the Spring fundraiser. We also raise money to fund projects around the school, and we are currently working on getting a rock wall for our PE program! We hope you will consider joining this wonderful organization to continue making CVE the place to be!
Tips for Dismissal: Always have your car tag visible. Place your car tag on the visor of your vehicle so it may be easily seen by the duty teachers. ANYONE without a car rider tag will be required to show their I.D. and will have to wait for approval from the office before leaving with the student. Kindergarten and 1st grade students and their older siblings must be picked up in the back (change from last year). Place student car seats on the passenger side of your vehicle. Do not pass another car in the car rider line unless directed by a duty teacher. Form 3 lines at the top of the back drive and take turns pulling into the circle drive. When buses arrive, cars may no longer enter the circle drive, but may form a line in the top lane closest to Center Valley Road until buses exit the circle drive. Parents picking up older students riding a bus from town may park in the gravel lot north of Center Valley Road until buses leave CVE.
PTO Drawing Thank you for joining PTO on Open House night! We had a lot of wonderful parents stop by the table and pay their membership dues for this year. We took the names of those people who joined last week and drew three names for prizes. Amanda Cagle won the basket of CVE goodies, Lacy Miller won the four passes to an ATU football game, and Kim Moore won the $30 UEC giftcard. Congratulations! If you didn't get a chance to fill out your membership form, a PTO Welcome Packet will be coming home soon! It will include a membership form, a list of meeting dates, a volunteer form, and all of sorts of important information. It will be on bright yellow paper, so be on the lookout. We hope you will be apart of this wonderful organization! -Amanda Dearmon and Kristin Motley, Co Presidents

Setting up MMS or Internet on your T-Mobile Phone
If you have changed your phone or swapped sim cards to another handset you might be frustrated to find that you cannot connect to your social media networks or send MMS (picture messages). That is because you need to be setting up MMS again. You may have even received a text message from T-Mobile asking your to set up these services and to reply to 34967 however it sometimes it doesn't work - the message comes back that it cannot be sent to this address. Strange! I'm not sure why this happens but it appears to be happening to a lot of people - it is the correct number so it doesn't appear to be a scam, but this error is happening and people are confused at how to set up their cell phone. T-mobile just say that they are having issues. Don't Worry... Setting Up MMS All you have to do is go to the link http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-support/index?page=home&cat=SOFTWAREDOWNLOADS and you can send yourself the correct settings anytime for free. Just follow the onscreen instructions, it takes seconds. Hope this helps

'The Next Harry Potter' Is About Circus Magicians
Announcement: The "next Harry Potter" is going to be The Night Circus, a historical fiction series about dueling 19C circus magicians written by a never-before-published writer named Erin Morgenstern. The Night Circus is happening, whether you like it or not.
Publishers had a bidding war; Morgenstern got a six-figure advance; Twilight's production company bought the film rights. A perfume company is making a Night Circus capsule collection. Morgenstern is working on a Night Circus Tarot card deck. There's "talk of a video game and stage production." And—like J.K. Rowling—Morgenstern has a compelling, "unorthodox" back story, the Wall Street Journal reports:
She was miserable, "making photocopies for law professors who couldn't work the copy machine." After a few years, with her husband's support, she quit temping and devoted herself to painting and writing, spending long, solitary hours in their home in Boston.
Her husband supported her financially and tactically:
At one point she grew so discouraged that she considered destroying the book. Her husband hid a hard copy of the novel from her in a drawer.
But is not her husband anymore:
She recently separated, amicably, from her husband of nearly five years, and is scrambling to unpack before a six-week, 14-city book tour.
Hopefully this lady ends up important enough for biographies and such, because her personal life sounds juicy. The Journal describes Morgenstern as ambivalent and slightly overwhelmed by the hoopla surrounding her first book. (Maybe because we're already talking about her personal life!) As long as humanity gets a new wizard hero to obsess over, though, I think we will be fine. [WSJ]

The Skinny:
- Quality logs cast from real wood
- Charred split logs featuring hand-painted details
- Low maintenance
- Rigid steel reinforcement
Things We Love:
The Rasmussen Evening Prestige vented gas log set has a great charred look. This larger scale set features some heavy bark detail and is hand-coated to recreate that split log look. The front logs are two separate pieces, giving it an appearance of being burned in half. The heavy gauge steel burner provides an eye pleasing flame and the ember bed is a little more compact than other log sets.
It's easy to see why they consider themselves a pioneer in decorative heating. Rasmussen makes their logs using high-quality refractory ceramic materials. They are reinforced with a rigid steel which ensures a very sturdy log.
The lifetime warranty on Rasmussen's logs is hard to beat. The burner and grate assemblies are warranted for 2 years.
Things To Consider
Match light burners are easy to operate. If you are concerned with safety, a safety pilot can be added to your burner. If you have trouble with mobility or have difficulty physically getting your gas log set lit, don't feel discouraged. Great options such as wall switches, on/off remotes, and remotes with variable flame options are available to make lighting your gas log set convenient and easy.

Video: "Blue Collar Jane" live by The Strypes
HD Video by G.
Hey music lovers, I'm about to introduce you to your new favorite band – The Strypes. The four piece garage rock band from Ireland sound like they've been around for decades and perhaps the most impressive fact about the band – as of press time, the members of the band range from age 16 to 18! WOW! They've already got the stage presence and swagger of rock stars and as I watched them perform a sold out show at New York's Bowery Ballroom on March 18, 2014, I felt like I was witnessing history. When you think about where these guys will be in the next few years, the possibilities are limitless. They already count rock and roll photographers BP Fallon and Bob Gruen (who were both at the show) as fans and their base will be growing by leaps and bounds once people find out about this band.
So check out "Blue Collar Jane" and be ready to be impressed!
Thanks again to The Strypes and I will be looking for your name at the top of the charts!
See the set list and photos of the band with yours truly, after the jump.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
A Turkish Muslim who made a pilgrimage to Mecca in a desperate attempt to get his life back on track returned as a Christian to the great astonishment of his family.
Now a pastor, Ali Pektash (pictured) has been addressing a conference in Jerusalem called At the Crossroads, and sees it as part of his mission to help re-unite the sons of Abraham.
Ali, a Kurd, suffered from alcohol addiction when friends persuaded him to make Hajj (pilgrimage) to Islam's holy city. It was in Saudi Arabia, where liquor is banned, and the religious ritual might cure him, they suggested.
When he got there, he cried out to God for help (if indeed He was there) and fell asleep.
Jesus then appeared to him in a dream and touched him, saying: "You believe in me now; leave this place."
After taking a shower next morning, he discovered what he thought was dust on the part of his chest Jesus had touched, but in fact the hair on his chest had turned white in the shape of a hand!
At the traditional celebration marking his return from Hajj, he announced to his incredulous family that he had seen Jesus in Mecca and had come back a Christian.
He burst out crying in front of his wife and asked forgiveness for the way he had treated her, clearly demonstrating a dramatic change in his life.
But for three years he had no access to a Bible and it was seven years before he met another Turkish Christian.
He eventually started a church in Ankara, the capital, which he has recently handed over to trusted elders in order to begin a new work in Eastern Turkey, where he was raised.
At the Crossroads, hosted at Christ Church in the heart of Jerusalem's Old City, is aimed at deepening the bonds of reconciliation between Arab Christians and Jewish followers of Jesus and is being attended by delegates from a number of Middle East countries including Iran, Egypt, Cyprus and Jordan.
Speaking in Turkish (translated through headsets for those who needed it), Ali spoke of how Abraham was also his ancestor, and how he saw it as part of his mission to help re-unite the children of Isaac and Ishmael (Abraham's children by different wives).
Illustrating how family division can cause lasting conflict among the children affected, he said it was no different for the descendants of Abraham who continue to be embroiled in much strife and contention with each other.
But now it was time for reconciliation. "We have a very important ministry - to reconcile the world," he said.
But it could only be done through Jesus. "Everybody in Turkey says they believe in God," he said. "But people are persecuting me!"
In a further example of reconciliation, a Palestinian delegate from Hebron (where Abraham is buried) said: "I was one of those who hated the Jews, but Jesus changed my life."
A number of Israeli pastors responded by laying hands on him in prayer and offering words of encouragement.
Speaking for myself, I was profoundly moved when during a communion service the previous night I was surrounded by a Turk, Egyptian, Iranian, Armenian and an Israeli originally from South Africa.
Although there was a language barrier in some cases, we embraced each other without words during the traditional 'peace' greeting that immediately precedes the sharing of bread and wine.
The conference - including worship sessions - is also being held in English, Hebrew and Arabic.

Jim Carrey had a hearty helping of crow on Monday - though it appeared that he enjoyed it with a side of sarcasm, and perhaps washed it down with a bit of optimism.Actor-artist Carrey unveiled his latest political cartoon via Twitter on Monday, after Attorney General William Barr submitted his summary of the report from Special Counsel Robert Mueller.In his new work, Carrey declared, "Today we eat crow."He added, "Trump's goose will be slow- cooked."In his summary, Barr said that Mueller found no evidence that President Donald Trump or members of his 2016 presidential campaign conspired with Russia to sway the election, and he reached no conclusion on the investigation into obstruction of justice.Carrey's cartoon depicted a man, presumably Carrey himself, sitting down at a dining table festooned with black feathers while ordering up more crow.In a message accompanying the artwork, Carrey wrote, "Wow!

Decrypting the 2005 NHL CBA: NHL Waivers – The Ultimate Waiver Bible
NOTE: There is now a permanent link to this Waiver FAQ in the menu, under "Resources" (2005 NHL CBA Waiver FAQ).
One thing that confuses the heck out of people is a player's waiver status. It is so confusing that even CBA guru's for NHL team's get it wrong from time to time. Case in point of this is a situation that happened before the start of last year in which Rick Olczyk was asked about Gilbert Brule's waiver status. In fairness, Olczyk had not yet researched the question when asked. But he responded by saying that Brule did not need to clear waivers to be sent down. Several bloggers (including yours truly) and CBA-expert-wannabe's pointed out that Brule did in fact have to clear waivers. Several panicked at the thought that the Oilers might actually send him down at the start of the year and foolishly place him on waivers (which I think was a bit of a stretch, but still was an interesting case proving how cryptic the CBA is).
Before I sound like a know it all when it comes to the CBA for calling the Brule status right, I can say that I've made my share of mistakes too and have had to re-read over many different sections dozens of times to get a slight grasp of a particular section. It's confusing probably to even the fellows that wrote it, no doubt. At any rate, I've done some digging around, and thanks to some guys who have done a bit of ground work such as NHLSCAP, cross-referenced with the CBA and various smart forumers, I figured I'd clear up a few questions/misunderstandings in regards to waiver status. This eventually will be a bit of a waivers resource for you junior GMs out there, and as such I'll try and update this as required and if anyone has anything to add to it. Soooo.. *breathes deeply*, here goes. Continue reading 'Decrypting the 2005 NHL CBA: NHL Waivers – The Ultimate Waiver Bible'»

1977 Prince Photos by Robert Whitman at Mr Musichead in Hollywood
Photos of Robert Whitman's photos by G.
Los Angeles! If you are a fan of Prince, you must head over to Mr Musichead in Hollywood to check out a photo exhibit of the singer (circa 1977) by Robert Whitman. A year before Prince's debut album "For You" was released, photographer Robert Whitman conducted a series of photo shoots with the soon to be iconic singer in Minnesota for inclusion in Prince's press kit as he searched for a record deal. Only 15 press kits were ever assembled and they are one of the most sought after items amongst fans.
The photographs in this collection are stunning as it's nearly unfathomable to imagine a time where Prince was merely a 19 year old unknown singer with some songs and a dream.
Many of the photos from these shoots have never been seen before, so you will not want to miss your chance to see these iconic photographs in person.
Mr Musichead is located at 7511 West Sunset Blvd.
Prince by Robert Whitman will be on display through March 7, 2014.

Senate Approves Alcohol Sale at TCF Bank Stadium
ST. PAUL (AP) -- The Minnesota Senate has approved a bill that would let the University of Minnesota sell beer to the general public at University of Minnesota football games.
The Senate approved the change Wednesday as part of a larger liquor policy bill that passed on a 58-4 vote. The House plans to take up a companion bill this week.
The measure allows the University Board of Regents to sign off on a liquor license application for TCF Stadium. A school spokesman says the board supports the change.
Last year, the University of Minnesota wanted to limit liquor sales to luxury suites in order to boost those ticket sales while curbing drinking among minor students. But state lawmakers have pushed for more open general sales for several years.

MONTPELIER — Addison County gained a leadership position in the Vermont House but lost one in the state Senate.
SHOREHAM — A cold warehouse is hardly the image that comes to mind as the heart of a local foods movement.
But that is what the owners of Vermont Refrigerated Storage and members of the Addison County Relocalization Network (ACORN) envision for the 35,000-square-foot cold storage facility in Shoreham.
Editor's note: This article is part of a three-part series on Addison County residents who have sought help from the Quit Tobacco Program at Porter Hospital in order to kick their cigarette habits.
MIDDLEBURY — Fifty-five-year-old Suzanne Gagnon has been smoking for 30 years. She picked up her first cigarette when she was just 20 years old, and soon she was smoking two or more packs a day.
For the past five years, ever since she was diagnosed and treated for laryngitis, Gagnon has battled with her addiction.

MIDDLEBURY — Voters in the Addison Central Supervisory Union's seven towns will be asked on Town Meeting Day to support a 2011-2012 spending plan of $15,643,007, which represents a 2.03-percent decrease in spending compared to this year.
The decrease allows UD-3 — which includes the combined budgets of Middlebury Union Middle School and High School — to meet the state's "Challenges for Change" directive.
SHOREHAM — A majority of Shoreham voters on Tuesday decided to take a pass on two different options for building new town offices, instead electing to do "none of the above."
That decision volleys the town-office-expansion issue onto the desk of the selectboard, which will spend the coming months deciding whether to fashion a project more modest than the $556,000 and $1,070,000 plans, both of which failed to garner enough support on Tuesday.
LINCOLN — After the Vermont education commissioner in September rejected the Lincoln Community School board's $3.7 million bond proposal to pay for infrastructure improvements, the Building Committee returned to the drawing board. On Monday evening the board approved a scaled-back, $2 million version of the original proposal.
The bond will go to a vote on Jan. 18, and a public information meeting on Jan. 11, for discussion between the board and Lincoln residents, whose taxes will increase for the next 20 years if the bond is approved.
MIDDLEBURY — Abigail Nessen Bengsen, 27, recalled with glee her long involvement with "Night Fires," a winter solstice celebration in which since 1982 local performers had pierced the year's darkest night with a creative cornucopia of music, dance, poems and stories from throughout the world.
"My family was involved before I was born," Bengsen said. "I grew up in it."
But Night Fires went dark in 2007 when its creator, Lincoln's Marianne Lust, needed a break from the arduous tasks of staging what was then a traveling performance.
NEW HAVEN — For 13-year-old Elijah Pedriani there's nothing like the rush of the icy track, the rapid turns, the way everything else around him blurs together as he speeds by.
Ever since the New Haven teen returned from a one-week screening camp at the USA Luge headquarters in Lake Placid, N.Y., a few weeks ago, Pedriani has been itching to get back on the ice.

He grew up near Boston doing school productions and community theater and eventually made his way to New York to work in a casting office and take acting classes the summer between his junior and senior years of high school. A contact made that summer helped him begin auditioning and he landed a supporting role in the short-lived TV series "Opposite Sex" and an appearance on "Boston Public". He followed up the aforementioned successful teen movie parody with "The Perfect Score", the 2004 thriller "Cellular" and the 2005 indie "Fierce People" opposite Diane Lane. He got his first taste of superhero-sized success in 2005 and 2007 playing the Human Torch in two "Fantastic Four" films. But even that paled in comparison to his current gig as Captain America, where his fresh face, comic timing and muscular build come in handy. He reprised the role in 2012 as part of "The Avengers" crime-fighting team and will do so again in a 2014 Captain-centric tale and in 2015's "Avengers "sequel.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb cross country teams have proved they are not only winning in races, but they are also winning in academics.
Freshman Juan Gonzalez was named to the All-Academic Men's Cross Country Team by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).
Gonzalez, a Law and Justice major from Lake Forest, Calif., earned the honor by achieving a grade point average of 3.40 and taking home the All-Region honor at the NCAA South Regionals in November.
This year's cross country season witnessed Gonzalez contributing to his team's first ever A-Sun Cross Country Men's Championship reign back in November, which was hosted by Lipscomb at Vaughn's Gap Cross Country Course.
At the event, Gonzalez won Atlantic Sun Freshman of the Year after finishing second in the 8K crossing the finish line in 25:05.70, the highest ever finish by any other Lipscomb runner in the event.
He was also named to the A-Sun All-Conference First Team and the A-Sun All Freshman Team.
In high school, Gonzalez was the 2012 CIF State Cross Country Champion. He also earned the automatic bid to compete at the NIKE Cross Nationals and took home the Orange County Register's Athlete of the Year in cross country and track and field.
During his time on the cross country and track and field team in high school, Gonzalez posted personal best times of 4:09.79 in the 1600 meters, ranking him 32nd in the nation, and 8:54.01 in the 3200 meters, ranking him 12th in the nation.
While Gonzalez was forced to sit out of the indoor track and field season due to a knee injury, he looks forward to a swift return with hopes of continuing his successes as a member of the Lipscomb cross country and track and field teams.
Also picking up academic awards were both the men's and women's cross country teams, both being named National All-Academic Team honors.
To accomplish this feat, the team must collectively post a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or greater.
The men's cross country team was one of 160 programs to capture the prestigious honor after all athletes on the team achieved a combined GPA of 3.54. The women's cross country team was one among 217 programs to earn the honor with a combined GPA of 3.50.
The men's team is the reigning A-Sun Cross Country Champions after sweeping the competition for their first A-Sun championship victory while the women picked up their third-straight championship win in the conference this past November.
Lipscomb's cross country teams secured their spot on the list of 146 programs that had both their women's and men's teams earn the honor.

Paramount Pictures had to wait a few extra months for Martin Scorsese to deliver a final cut of his upcoming "The Wolf of Wall Street," but a new trailer for the film indicates the delay may have been worth it.
The studio this week confirmed it was pushing the picture's release date from Nov. 15 to Christmas Day after Scorsese finally handed over a 165-minute version of the film. But any last-minute scurrying wasn't evident from the film's new trailer, which compellingly conveys the movie's narrative.
"Wolf" is based on the real-life story of Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio), who spent 22 months in jail after being indicted in 1998 and later convicted of stock fraud. (The case made national headlines and inspired the 2000 Ben Younger film, "Boiler Room.")
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
In a teaser for "Wolf" released earlier this summer, Belfort's gregarious nature was quickly apparent, and a GIF of DiCaprio breaking out some impressive dance moves went viral.
The new trailer gives us a bit more of Belfort's backstory: He's the kind of guy who pays $26,000 for a fancy meal and flirts with hot women even though he's married.
So yes, like DiCaprio's most recent character, Jay Gatsby, Belfort definitely has an affinity for the finer things in life. But Belfort is less stiff than the man DiCaprio played in "The Great Gatsby," and has a playfulness to him that brings to mind the charming con man he portrayed in 2002's "Catch Me If You Can."
And then there's Jonah Hill. As with "Moneyball," Hill is again a trusted sidekick in "Wolf" -- this time, however, with a New York accent and really odd pair of distracting fake teeth. The chemistry between Hill and DiCaprio, who have since become close friends off-screen, is obvious in the trailer.
PHOTOS: Fall movie sneaks 2013
And did we mention Kyle Chandler? Yes, the "Friday Night Lights" favorite is in this too. The actor, who appeared last fall in "Argo" and "Zero Dark Thirty," continues his recent streak of playing government officials.
As for the film's financial prospects, DiCaprio's last lead part in a fall film, in 2011's "J. Edgar," proved to be a box office disappointment. But Paramount can take heart in the Scorsese pairing: the last two films the actor and director teamed up for each topped $125 million at the domestic box office.

These high-intensity interval routines will challenge your body and your brain, boosting your fitness level as the minutes fly by.\\nThe treadmill is the first place many people head when entering (or re-entering) a gym, says [Andia Winslow](http://www.chelseapiers.com/sc/training/trainer-bio.cfm?id=55), a personal trainer and sports performance coach at The Sports Center at Chelsea Piers in New York City. \\"Too often, though, their mind is elsewhere — and speed, incline and overall intensity is far too low to affect major metabolic change,\\" she says. This routine keeps you engaged in the workout while gradually increasing intensity — no texting while trotting here!\\nThink you can't get a good treadmill workout without running? Think again. This walking-only routine targets the hips, gets your heart rate up and improves balance, says [Katina Brock](http://www.motilitytraining.com/blog/?Tag=Katina+Brock) a personal trainer at the Biggest Loser Resort and fitness advisor for Motility Training, a mobile fitness app. \\"Don't let the lower speeds fool you,\\" she says. \\"The amount of effort and sweat this produces will surprise you.\\"\\n\\n*Note: While walking sideways, use a light touch on the rails for stability but do not support with arms. Keep feet pointed to the side of the treadmill, not forward. You can shuffle feet together and apart or, at slower speeds, cross one foot behind or in front of the other.\\nInterval training is the best bang for your buck when it comes to cardio conditioning, says [Garrett Shinoskie](http://zoneathleticperformance.com/professional-team/), CSCS, director of athletic performance at Zone Athletic Performance in Scottsdale, AZ. He trains his clients to use their maximum heart rate as a barometer for their exercise intensity; estimate yours (in beats per minute) by subtracting your age from 220, then strap on a heart-rate monitor and try this super-effective workout.\\nTreadmill guard rails are built for safety, but they can do exercisers a disservice, says Winslow. \\"Holding on negates the need for core engagement and arm-leg coordination during intense circuits,\\" she explains. Instead, try working your upper body with 2- to 5-pound hand weights while walking (not running, which can be dangerous) at a consistent pace; you'll get cardio and resistance training all at once!\\nThis workout from Brock has blocks of descending time, and each one (including a Tabata routine) is completely unique. \\"If you love variety and can't decide between HIIT training, endurance work, gradual climbs or incline, than this is your workout,\\" she says. \\"Before you know it, you're done!\\"\\nMax yourself out during these short sprint intervals, then catch your breath and recover during the longer rest periods. \\"This type of routine melts fat, boosts your anaerobic power and capacity, and breaks up the monotony of your typical hamster-wheel workout,\\" says Shinoskie.\\nUsing an incline can help reduce impact on your joints, get your heart rate up without the need for speed *and* lift your backside, says Brock. Although you'll never get above a 10-minute mile during this routine, you'll burn major calories and you'll definitely feel the burn.\\nThis routine, for experienced runners, takes you all the way up to a 6-minutes-per-mile pace — but don't worry, it's only for 30 seconds at a time. If these intervals feel too difficult for you to complete safely, do them at your fastest comfortable pace. (Huffing and puffing is a good thing, but flying off the treadmill is not!)\\nWinslow's track-and-field-based treadmill workout will improve coordination and speed. You'll maintain the same pace throughout, but a gradual incline makes each set more and more challenging.\\nMix up your regular treadmill workout by incorporating a few full-body strength moves in between running sets. Hopping on and off the treadmill will keep your heart rate up and your body in prime calorie-burning mode, says Shinoskie, plus it puts harder-to-work muscles (like your arms and core) front and center.

As we all know, Michelle and Demo's dog, Connor, needs ACL surgery. To add insult to injury, Michelle was laid off several months ago and nobody has been smart enough to snatch her up as an employee yet. Connor's surgery is next Wednesday and they could really use some help with the costs:
The surgery is $1800
use of the surgery room, anesthetic, testing, etc, $600 - $750
Post surgery rehab:
Initial consult is $85
hydro therapy is $50 per session
light therapy is $28
They're probably only going to do hydro. They recommend 3x per week for 4 weeks, then 2x per week for the next 8 weeks. So that's about $1500 by the end of all it.
They are trying to get an account set up with the PT place but in the meantime, they've started a ChipIn page: http://connorkneesurgery.chipin.com/con ... -and-rehab
If you have a few extra dollars and want to donate, that would be great! Any amount would be welcome.

How does one express their true feeling about the greatest experience of their life when time and space are in control. FIRST: The people. Donna and Keagan are built from the same "old school" I was raised from. Their mantra is "if you are going to do some thing, do it perfectly, no mater how many times you have to do it, even if you have to do it yourself. Everyone of their subs are impeccable. Diamonds are not formed in a day, they take time. The same holds true in relationships. It is not everyday that you can say that the contractor who built your outdoor living space are your best friends. I would be completely surprised if Keagan and Donna did not stop by from time to time to enjoy some of the peace and tranquility that they have brought to this family. SECOND: The Workmanship. We now Have a very large cabana with kitchen and 50" TV overlooking the bar, an attached oversized pergola with huge fireplace, pool and spa, fire pit, shower and dressing area, all of which had to be fitted into an enormous back yard by today's standards filled with a maze of dry river beds. What was left when they finished is now all hard scape via artificial grass. All of the stone work matches our house to a "T". The pool and spa could not have been designed to meet our needs more perfectly. The enormous deck covered in "Kool Deck" adds a contrast to the white sandstone and green grass that cannot be described. In short, Our Backyard Is PERFECT. No mistakes, no flaws, no blemishes. One would have to see it to understand. Therefore: I want to invite any and everyone to come by and take a look. I plan to keep it clean everyday, so call Donna or Keagan and make an appointment to come see a very large piece of their handwork. We are in Round Rock right off of Old Settler's Blvd. If I ever build another pool, Donna and Keagan will build it.
Donna definitely has an eye for design and she made some tweaks as construction began to enhance our layout.
My experience with Crites Custom Pools was wonderful and very professional. The quote I got wasn't the lowest but I was looking for quality work not just price. I had some serious pool repairs to be done. The work was excellent. The workers were hard working, competent, and cleaned up when they finished. The entire process was trouble-free and on time. I can't say enough good things about Keagan Aleman who represents Crites Custom Pools. He accessed the pool repairs, was concise and knowledgeable about the repairs I needed. He was polite, courteous, and always did what he said he would. He oversaw all the work, kept me informed on the progress of the work, and where we were in the process. It was a pleasure to work with someone so professional. I highly recommend Crites Customs Pools.
I can't say enough great things about Crites Custom Pools! Donna is fantastic to work with, the work is ALWAYS quality, and they have such creative ideas. Crites put in our original pool 3 years ago and we've had them do additional yard and pool work every year since. We love Donna and her crew!!
The quality of the structural work and equipment was excellent. They use top quality equipment, the concrete shell used upgraded steel & plumbing and was thicker then the minimum standard.
People at Crites Custom Pools Company are amazing! The swimming pool is the best we ever have in our backyard. Our swimming pool itself is beautiful!!!! We love it!!!
Donna is fantastic to work with, the work is ALWAYS quality, and they have such creative ideas. Our backyard is such a place of rest now because of all Donna's efforts.
This summer will mark our 3rd year enjoying our pool and we continue to be thrilled that we chose Crites to build our dream pool. The quality and service they have delivered has been an exceptional experience.
If having a custom designed pool, with true quality workmanship while staying true to affordability aligns with your priorities – Crites Custom Pools will exceed your expectations as they have ours.
Well, I just wanted to say, we just finished building our pool with Crites Custom Pools, and they truly exceeded our expectations.
I would definitely recommend Crites for your swimming pool construction. They are professional and stand behind their product 110%.

The recent times have shown how products and services are sold online. With thousands of ecommerce websites coming into picture, the way companies sell the products have completely changed.
A decade ago, people preferred buying branded products from showrooms or company outlets. They did not mind going all the way to the outlet to purchase the products of their choice.

VIDEO: Michele Roberts Interview
LAS VEGAS — Eighteen months after Billy Hunter was fired, the National Basketball Players Association elected a new executive director,
Amid chatter of unhappy agents and with former player Jerry Stackhouse speaking publicly against the process before it was done, the NBPA executive committee was unified in their approval of Michele Roberts, a Washington D.C. trial lawyer.
After a search process led by Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson, three finalists — Roberts, Dallas Mavericks CEO Terdema Ussery and tech industry CEO Dean Garfield — each gave 45-minute presentations to a group of 117 players in attendance at a Las Vegas hotel. Roberts then received 32 of a possible 36 votes from team reps and executive committee members.
"We've never had this amount of players here for a meeting, to give their input and feedback," NBPA president Chris Paul said. "After all the hours and time our executive committee, along with an amazing search committee that helped throughout this process, it's an unbelievable feeling to have the wonderful Michele Roberts now as a part of our team."
"Anytime you get 90 percent of the vote or more and full participation from the entire body," secretary-treasurer James Jones added, "it signals that guys understand that this is a very big deal. This is a big decision and we did not want our guys to take it lightly, to do as we've done in the past, which is rubber stamp a process. When you have discussions, you have emotions, but as you see with the result tonight, our players are unified. Outside influences, outside forces may look at what happens in our room differently than we do. But we all knew that our players want what's best for the union and we showed it."
Paul made it clear that Roberts was more than impressive in both her interviews and in her presentation on Monday.
"From Day 1 in interviews," Paul said, "she tackled every question head first. She did it first with the executive committee and search committee, and then today with our players."
The fact that she's a woman, now the first woman to run a major North American sport's players union, was not a factor.
"My sense was the only thing people cared about was my resolve," Roberts said. "If I had been a man, who exuded less confidence in my ability to do the work, I don't think I would've got the job.
"I'd like to believe, as I've believed for most of my career, that I've earned something because of who I am and what I do, not because I'm a woman."
"Even though she's a female," Paul said, "she's very relatable to a lot of our players."
In a text to NBA.com's David Aldridge, one committee member said simply, "She's a beast."
Stackhouse, a former NBPA vice president who wasn't allowed to watch Monday's presentations because he's no longer an active player, didn't seem all that impressed. Shortly before the vote was taken, he insinuated that the executive committee forced Roberts' election upon the players, because the other two candidates didn't come close to passing muster.
But Stackhouse admitted that he would have loved the job himself. And the members of the executive committee didn't seem concerned about his agenda.
So now, they can finally move forward and begin preparing for the next round of collective bargaining, likely to take place in 2017. Roberts said that preparation for those negotiations began "yesterday."
"We understand that this is a defining moment in sports," NBPA vice president Roger Mason Jr. said. "A $2 billion sale [of the Clippers], a lot of good things going on in our league, some of the most recognizable faces around the globe. And we understand that next time we have a chance to go through collective bargaining, we have a whole lot more to talk about, and the discussion is going to be different.
"I think what we wanted to do is to make sure we had a leader in place who understood that vision, who realized that opportunity at hand and who could give us a vision on how we can get where we want to go."
Though Roberts doesn't have much of a basketball background — she's a fan who watched a lot of hoops with two older brothers — she's a leader. She's also clearly a fan of the TV show "Scandal", calling the team she intends to build "gladiators," like the group of fixers from the hit ABC drama.
"What we're talking about here is predating or allowing for a system that will empower these players to run their union," Roberts said. "They've got their union back, and I'm going to make sure that they are empowered to take their union exactly where they want their union to go."

Firebug Lite 1.3.0Monday, May 24th, 2010
Pedro Simonetti Garcia announces the release of Firebug Lite 1.3.0! This in-page version of the Firebug concept offers many of the Firebug features popular in Firebug for Firefox, but it works in many browsers. The new release improves the user interface, deepens the implementation of CSS support, and improves the inspector and console panel.
With 1.3 Pedro Simonetti began integrating the Firebug Lite and Firebug for Firefox source code. Next we divide Firebug for Firefox into user-interface (front end) and information extraction (back end). Then we merge Firebug Lite and the new front end. That gives us a common front end interface for Firefox multi-process, Fennec mobile web, Firefox with JSDebugv2, and cross browser. So in one master stroke Pedro Simonetti enhances Firebug Lite and sets us on a new course for Firebug development!
Of course the Firefox version of Firebug has many more features and we keep moving it forward. Ultimately we hope this trend continues: Firebug gets stronger on all browsers but the Firefox version keeps pushing out ahead.

United Church of Christ's 'Call Me Malcolm' premieres at two international film festivals
United Church News
A UCC-produced, feature-length documentary about a transgender seminarian's struggle with faith, love and gender identity was among the top-attended films at two recent international film festivals.
Call Me Malcolm - described as a "labor of love" by its creators and producers - debuted at the Riverside (Calif.) International Film Festival on Feb. 26 and the Cleveland International Film Festival, March 14-15.
The 90-minute documentary tells the story of Malcolm E. Himschoot, then a third-year student at Iliff School of Theology, who was eventually ordained in 2004 by the UCC's Denver Metropolitan Association.
In Riverside, the film's popularity warranted the addition of a second screening.
In Cleveland, a sell-out situation prompted festival organizers to hold simultaneous screenings in two of the cinema's largest theatres. It also received first-runner-up recognition by festival goers who ranked it as one of their top two favorite films.
The Rev. Michael D. Schuenemeyer, the UCC's minister for LGBT concerns, says Call Me Malcolm is unique among documentaries that deal with transgender issues "because it focuses on gender identity as it relates to matters of faith, spirituality, vocation and human personhood."
Schuenemeyer says, "With enormous heart, integrity and sensitivity, Malcom shares his own struggles and listens compassionately to [others], as he comes to terms with who he is and God's claim on his life."
Director Joseph Parlagreco of Filmworks, Inc., which co-produced the film, says the documentary is more than an examination of Malcolm's life or the struggles of the transgender community, but a film that all can relate to, because it's about discerning, discovering and celebrating one's identity.
"This is not the first film to take on the subject of transgender issues and it certainly will not be the last," Parlagreco says, "but most transgender films tend to focus on the physical and exploit the conflict. I wanted to do a different kind of film. This is a film about identity."
Parlagreco, an award-winning cinematographer whose directing credits include work for ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, PBS and VH1, says the UCC has served as a "minister to the film."
"Imagine," Parlagreco muses, "a church producing a feature documentary for film festivals -- about a transgender minister."
The film's successful premiere likely means it will be considered for inclusion in other prominent film festivals, a good omen for finding a willing distributor - the ticket to wide theatrical release.

Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) is a rare inherited disorder in which patients suffer from severe infection and inflammation. The first indication of disease usually appears in early childhood. The basic defect found to be lie in specialised white blood cells called phagocytic cells, which are responsible for engulfing and destroying germs. In CGD, there is a defect in an enzyme (known as NADPH-oxidase) that is responsible for generating bleach like substances that are important for killing some important germs. In the form of the disease known as X-CGD (which accounts for two thirds of patients), there are defined mistakes in a gene called gp91-phox, which is a key part of the NADPH-oxidase.
In many cases, patients can be protected from infection by constant intake of antibiotics. However, in others potential life-threatening infections break through. In some cases patients also develop serious inflammation requiring high doses of drugs such as steroids. CGD can be cured by bone marrow transplant, but the best results are available when there is matched donor available. Transplant from unmatched donor have a much worse outcome.
Gene therapy of CGD can be performed by introducing a normal copy of human gp91-phox gene into the blood forming stem cells of patients' bone marrow by using a gene carrier (in this study called lentiviral vector). After treatment of the bone marrow cells in a specialised laboratory are given back to the patient and will grow into functional phagocytic cells.
