IBM Study Reveals Strong Alignment Between Business & Technical Teams
It's no secret that the Internet has leveled the playing field for all organizations. No matter the size, location or industry, any organization today can easily "hang a shingle" on the Web and start competing for attention. In fact executive leaders clearly recognize this challenge, as evidenced in the recent IBM Global CEO Study which illustrates that CEOs have identified "reinventing customer relationships" with "getting closer to customers" as an imperative – and in today's world that means exceptional customer experiences in all touch points, spearheaded in many cases by the Web experience.
The recent introduction of the IBM Customer Experience Suite directly addresses that CEO demand for better customer insight and service through exceptional online experiences. Given that CEO imperative, where then, does the responsibility fall in an organization to define, craft, deliver and sustain this most valuable part of the overall customer experience? And, what is most important to IT and the business teams when it comes to online experiences? Recently, IBM commissioned a study to gain that insight so we could share the summary results with other organizations. To ensure a balanced perspective, the study included 432 respondents globally (216 from IT roles and 216 from non-IT roles) drawn from large enterprises.
Better Understanding Customers is Paramount
Perhaps the most telling data point (and a testament to the importance of the customer across the organization) revealed that the alignment between IT and the line-of-business (LOB) groups within many organizations is in lock step when it comes to the single goal of better understanding the customer. When asked to rate the importance of various benefits, both IT (87%) and the LOB (90%) placed the highest priority on this benefit: "Developing a deeper understanding of customer needs, behaviors and access methods".
IBM Customer Experience Suite includes all the capabilities organizations cite as most important to delivering the right web experience the customer expects, thereby gaining valuable insight into the customer for ongoing refinement for even better customer experiences. The combination of personalized content, Web 2.0 social features, dynamic multichannel delivery and instrumented analytics integration, among other capabilities helps organizations not only support that benefit, but others. For example, of the other benefits proposed, slight differences were evidenced in the next highest rated, between IT and LOB, but each are well served by IBM Customer Experience Suite. For the LOB, the next most important benefit (at 87%) was: "Providing a consistent customer experience across all of our online properties"; while IT rated both (tied at 86%) of these benefits as the next most important: "Having a website that differentiates from competitors" and "Anticipating and capturing new business opportunities quickly and efficiently".
Scalability / Reliability Are "Must Haves"
Interestingly, the alignment of IT and LOB extends beyond the business value of ensuring the highest level of customer web experience satisfaction. Both also agree that any software solution must be one that can scale to meet the changing business needs, be always "on" (as that is a primary Web tenet) and of course, be secure. Built upon the proven WebSphere Portal platform – a web delivery platform at the heart of numerous award-winning web experience across a range of industries – IBM Customer Experience Suite exhibits all the qualities to meet that most important requirement.
So, one could surmise, based on these and other data points from the study, that organizations are rallying around the customer, which – since it is a common CEO imperative – is to be expected (and is a good thing). The study did reveal that among organizations participating in the study, slightly over half (51%) reported it is a team-based decision process among IT and customer-facing groups (i.e., sales, marketing, product management and/or customer service) to agree upon an exceptional web experience solution approach. Ask your IBM representative about more details of the study and how IBM Customer Experience Suite can help your organization serve your current and ongoing customer web experience requirements.

RI doctor makes 4 a.m. house call at wrong home
WESTERLY, R.I. (AP) — A Rhode Island doctor charged with breaking and entering after walking through a stranger's home at 4 a.m. says it was "an honest mistake."
Internist Roy Main of Westerly says he was trying to make a house call to check on a patient last weekend when he was arrested.
He tells The Westerly Sun (http://bit.ly/14PxXsO ) he was looking for Bill Brower, a friend and patient who wasn't feeling well. Main agreed to drop by, and Brower said he'd leave the door unlocked.
Main says he didn't have his cellphone and wasn't sure of Brower's address. He saw a truck that looked like Brower's and went inside.
In reality, Brower's house is about a mile from the one Main entered.
Main says he understands why the homeowners "freaked out."
He is scheduled to appear in court Aug. 23.

"Earlier this month we published an article looking at the Linux versus OpenSolaris performance when using the new AMD Shanghai Opteron CPUs. Ubuntu Linux was faster than OpenSolaris 2008.11 in nearly all of the tests, but as mentioned in that article, OpenSolaris is still dependent upon GCC 3.4 where as Ubuntu and most other Linux distributions are now shipping with the newer and much-improved GCC 4 series. Following that article being published, Sun Microsystems had requested some compiler tests since they were confident the results would be different had their Sun Studio compiler been used. Well, in this article we now have some OpenSolaris benchmarks from the same AMD setup using GCC 3.4, GCC 4.0, and Sun Studio 12."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb. 21, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ParkerVision, Inc. (Nasdaq:PRKR) announced today that on February 20, 2013, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida issued its patent claim construction ruling, or "Markman Order", in the ongoing patent infringement action between ParkerVision and Qualcomm, Inc (NYSE:QCOM).
In a Markman Order, the presiding district court in a patent infringement case sets out the meaning of certain disputed patent claim language present in the patents in suit. This court interpretation is then applied during the action in the determinations of infringement and validity. The Markman Order can be a significant factor in the progress and outcome of patent infringement litigation.
In the recently issued Markman Order, the Court adopted ParkerVision's position as to the proper interpretation of most of the key terms in dispute in the litigation.
Jeffrey Parker, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ParkerVision stated, "We are pleased with the Court's Markman Order and we are confident in our position concerning Qualcomm's infringement of the patent claims at issue in this case. While the outcome of any litigation cannot be predicted, we believe the Court's Markman Order is another significant step towards the successful resolution of this litigation."
The litigation, filed in July 2011, involves Qualcomm's development and sale of certain of its products that ParkerVision believes infringe numerous claims from six patents owned by ParkerVision.

I dislike DK's. Like Cubby I think they are awesome farming toons, but since they were one of the best tanks in WotLK I decided to finally take one to cap. He has been mining and BS for a while and I get him a level every time I log into him rested.
I am getting pretty decent at tanking on him, and I enjoy that they are pretty easy to play but you have a batman size toolbelt to play them. Most of the randoms I play with him are quick en enjoyable. I also go and PvP with him when I do log on him.
After a dungeon and a horrible WG I decided to mine and do one more random, and Mangofruit from Maelstrom ques up as a healer. I was first a little concerned that he was in Shadowform, but since he was 80 I figured he was just going to have some fun. Oh no… he pretty much wanted to power through every dungeon we did. 49% of the DPS and all the heals later I got 1.5 levels and almost to 80. Anubis (a hunter that also stuck with us) is trying to get me killed right now since I put myself on follow while I wrote this! lol
So, thank you MANGO! It has been a nice fun run away from Cata heroics! Thanks for the fun!

Montage Series pays tribute to founder of music preparatory program
Loyola press release - April 16, 2012
The Montage Fine and Performing Arts Series at Loyola University New Orleans presents a "Remembrance and Tribute Concert" in honor of Janet Swanzy, Ph.D., founder and director of the Loyola Preparatory Department of Music and Dance, on Sunday, April 22 at 3 p.m. in Louis J. Roussel Performance Hall, located in the Communications/Music Complex on the corner of St. Charles Avenue and Calhoun Street. A complimentary reception will immediately follow the performance.
To showcase Swanzy's legacy at Loyola University, the concert will feature performances by acclaimed special guest pianists Eric Martin and Jodi Lambert Blount. They will be joined by students currently participating in the preparatory music program in a diverse repertoire of songs by Claude Debussy, Johannes Brahms and Camille Saint-Saëns, among others. The first recipient of the Janet Sitges Swanzy Endowed Scholarship, Julie Swanson, will also perform. The scholarship was established in 2009 in order to promote excellence in the field of music by offering incentives to talented piano students.
Tickets for the event are $15 for general admission and free for Loyola faculty, students, staff and children under the age of 18. For tickets and information, visit montage.loyno.edu or call 504-865-2074. Free parking is available in the West Road Garage, accessible from St. Charles Avenue. Proceeds will benefit the Janet Sitges Swanzy Endowed Memorial Scholarship at Loyola University.
A lifelong resident of New Orleans, Swanzy was no stranger to the university's esteemed music programs. Her mother, Stella Sitges, studied piano at the New Orleans Conservatory of Music, the forerunner to Loyola's music school, and toward the end of her life in 2004 at the age of 99, Sitges had been recognized as Loyola's oldest living graduate.
By that time, Swanzy – then married to former College of Music Dean David Swanzy, Ph.D. – had spent the better part of four and a half decades on the St. Charles Avenue campus as a trail blazer, educator, clinician, adjudicator, friend and colleague.
Although she began her teaching career at her high school alma mater, the Academy of the Sacred Heart, in 1956, Swanzy joined the Loyola University faculty in 1960, where she remained until 2001, eventually assuming the title of professor emeritus. Devoted to Loyola University and passionate about music education, she continued to teach private lessons in the preparatory program until 2005, when she passed away at age 71.
In addition to being an active performer, clinician and nationally certified piano teacher, Swanzy was an officer and active member of the Music Teachers National Association and National Federation of Music Clubs. In 1995, she was one of 11 teachers nationwide chosen to be Mobil-Cliburn ambassadors at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in Fort Worth, Texas. She also spent time researching teaching methods in the Soviet Union and France.

Texas A&M University Singing Cadets were established as an all-male chorus in 1893. The group was originally known as the Texas A&M Glee Club, but were renamed the Singing Cadets in 1940. Texas A&M was originally an all-male, military institution. Therefore, at one time, all of the members of The Singing Cadets were members of the Corps of Cadets. However, Corps of Cadets membership is no longer a requirement for membership in the Singing Cadets.
David L. Kipp, the current director of the Singing Cadets, started his tenure in 1995. Kipp is the thirteenth director of the sixty member men's choral group. Under his lead, the Singing Cadets are staying true to their crisp military style and diverse selection of music. A Singing Cadets concert will include a wide variety of music. With traditional school songs as the bookends for the show, the program consists of religious, patriotic, Broadway, popular, and novelty numbers. The Singing Cadets use their love of singing to enthusiastically spread the name of their beloved university.
The Emmy award-winning group has members from across Texas and the United States. Members of the Singing Cadets major in a wide range of academic fields of study and all members are actively involved with many other campus organizations and activities.
In the last ten years, the Singing Cadets have traveled over 35,000 miles, performed over 700 concerts and visited more than 125 Texas cities and communities. Each year includes a ten-day tour in January through nine cities and three weekend tours in the Spring that cover the Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio areas. The group often gets the opportunity to sing for many unique events and renowned individuals. Having the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library on campus often gives the group opportunities to sing for celebrities and dignitaries. The Singing Cadets have performed for every living president as well as other distinguished individuals such as Mikhail Gorbachev. This year the group has many performances already on schedule.
As well as traveling throughout the state of Texas, the Singing Cadets have also spread the Spirit of Aggieland around the globe. The group has toured to Romania, Mexico, Germany, England, Switzerland, Hungary, Australia, Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil. In 1996, invitations to sing in Carnegie Hall and Kennedy Center took the group to New York City and Washington D.C. St. Paul's Cathedral and Eaton College were concert sites in May of 1999, and the group revisited the United Kingdom in 2001, visiting Wales, Scotland and England. During the summer of 2006, the Singing Cadets were invited to sing for President George W. Bush at the White House for a ceremony honoring the 2006 Winter Olympics and Paralympics teams. The group also took a trip to Boston and Maine in the summer of 2009 where they sang the National Anthem for the New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox game at Fenway Park, performed as a surprise guest for President George Bush's 85th birthday. In 2010, the Singing Cadets took a country-wide tour of South Africa just before the FIFA World Cup was hosted in the area. The group's most recent trip took them down through the central portion of Europe. Starting in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, the Singing Cadets performed at each stop through Karlovy Vary, Bratislava of Slovakia, and ended in Budapest, Hungary. The tour provided excellent opportunities for members to embrace a unique culture while representing Texas A&M University across the globe.

We are working to update our website.
Please bear with us as new and exciting
changes are made.
In today's market, the leadership stakes are at an all-time high for an organization's bottom line. Today's leadership is about so much more than performance and goals – it's about influencing and navigating the needs of people and having the ability to positively influence the thoughts and behaviors of others so that their actions are in alignment with company and team objectives.
Who we are
We are an Executive Presence and Business Leadership Coaching Firm. With over 20 years of experience in the corporate world, we know first-hand how to help business professionals enhance their interpersonal and leadership effectiveness in order to build their executive presence and breakthrough to the authoritative place they need to be to effectively lead an organization.
What we do
Simply put - we are experts at moving people forward – forward in their careers; forward in their companies.
Who we work with
We coach C-suite leaders, mid-level managers, and high-potentials to successfully combine soft skills with hard skills to make better decisions, get superior results, and become more visible and promotable. We push far beyond the conventional standards of executive coaching to elicit long-lasting, sustainable behavioral change that ultimately increases a leader's overall effectiveness, visibility, and success.
Our Focus
Our coaching focuses on the Three Components of Executive Presence (detailed below) and ultimately…
→ Enhances High Performance
We dig deep below the surface to uncover barriers & obstacles to stronger, more effective leadership. We help leaders and high-potentials identify and update the core beliefs and habits currently creating their professional experiences.
→ Heightens Emotional Intelligence
Before a leader can effectively lead others and develop talent, he or she must know how to effectively manage him or herself. Successful leadership begins with a strong foundation of self-knowledge and awareness.
→ Improves Situational Awareness and Adaptability
Laser-sharp decision-making and the ability to act under pressure are critical must-haves in today's professional environment.
→ Increases Impact and Influence
The higher up a leader goes, the more he or she must deal with psychological and relational issues. Leaders must be prepared to manage them effectively and constructively navigate through conflict.
→ Sharpens Communication Effectiveness
To positively influence the thoughts and behaviors of others, leaders must be able to connect, build rapport, and communicate in a way that evokes the desired response.
Our Process
→ GAP Analysis & Action Planning
We work with executives and their organizations to develop a detailed and individualized road map for success. It all begins with an initial exploratory conversation after which we create an action plan and execute.
Each engagement is individually tailored and designed to meet the needs of both the individual being coached and the organization and will likely encompass most (if not all) of the following:
• leadership/management
• communication
• emotional intelligence
• relationship management
• influence & persuasion
• conflict management
• change management
• networking strategies
• personal branding
• image management
• work/life balance
→ Coaching Sessions (every two weeks in an individual or group setting)
These coaching sessions target the leader's individual perceptual, developmental, and leadership needs. We have intense, one-on-one, content-rich discussions after which is a two-week period where the leader has the opportunity to put into practice his or her newly acquired knowledge and skills. Most coaching engagements are anywhere from six to twelve months.
→ Real World Application
Serving as the leader's outside counsel and strategic thought partner (independent of his or her organization), we provide a safe environment for testing ideas, practicing new behaviors, obtaining objective feedback, and helping to follow-through with accountability.
Based on our professional experience, this is the best approach to ensure our coaching clients (1) absorb the coaching content and (2) adopt new and lasting, sustainable behaviors crucial to achieving their professional objectives.

You can increase the virtual memory by the following steps:
- Select the "Start" tab, followed by the "Control Panel" menu;
- Go to System and Security;
- and then open System;
- Select the Advanced System Settings function;
- Choose Performance Settings in Advanced tab;
- In this menu, you should see the Performance Properties windows, open Advanced tab click on the "Change" option.
- When the virtual memory dialog box appears, this is where you can modify the registry size.
These steps will enable your system with increased virtual memory space, thus allowing it to manage a greater extent of registry values.
Close or remove the programs that could be using Internet
Many popular applications like "Skype", "MSN Messenger" or "Youtube Downloader", these tools will likely be slowing down the overall speed of your Internet subsequently - mainly because of the way in which these programs will continually be updating themselves online. This means that if you want to improve the speed of the Internet on your computer, you have to free up any of the resources it may have - which will include closing these tools down. To do this, you can either click onto "Task Manager" of Windows (which can be done by press CTRL + ALT + DEL) or by clicking onto "Start --> Control Panel --> Uninstall a Program.

Airman 1st Class Juan C. Aranda Jr. is scheduled to receive the Commendation Medal from U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo Monday.
Mountain View resident Airman 1st Class Juan C. Aranda Jr. heroically saved four people stranded in Hurricane Santa Clara, which devastated Puerto Rico in 1956. Nearly 57 years later, the U.S. Air Force plans to award him the Air Force Commendation Medal.
U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, the Air Force and the California Air National Guard Unit's 129th Rescue Wing have scheduled a presentation ceremony 3:30 p.m. Monday at the 129th Rescue Wing's Blue Hangar on the east side of Moffett Federal Airfield in Mountain View.
Members of the public are invited to attend.
Eshoo, who represents Los Altos, Los Altos Hills and Mountain View, requested that the Secretary of the Air Force review Aranda's record for consideration of the formal recognition.
"Airman 1st Class Aranda acted without hesitation and bravely saved the lives of a father and his three sons who became stranded during Hurricane Santa Clara in August 1956," Eshoo said. "With courage and conviction, he put his own life at risk when others were in need."
Upon receiving news of the commendation, Aranda downplayed his herosim.
"In circumstances like the one I encountered that fateful night, you do what you have to do, regardless of the consequences," he said. "We are all really here to serve humanity. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time."

Essentially, the difference between avoidance and evasion is legality. Tax avoidance is legally exploiting the tax system to reduce current or future tax liabilities by means not intended by parliament. It often involves artificial transactions that are contrived to produce a tax advantage.
Examples of tax avoidance are: tax deductions, changing one's business structure through incorporation, or establishing an offshore company in a tax haven. In a recent report, HMRC denounced tax avoiders saying that "a small minority bend or break the rules by deliberately avoiding or evading their taxes – and we are resolute in tackling these people".
Celebrities such as Jimmy Carr have come under criticism from the media in the past for participating in tax avoidance schemes.
The scheme used by Carr, known as the K2 scheme, meant that wealthy Britons paid less than 1 per cent tax, costing the taxman £168m.
The organisation 'UK Uncut' challenges large corporations and businessmen who attempt to avoid tax. Sir Philip Green, who runs the Arcadia group, is among UK Uncut's targets.
Green does not actually own the Arcadia group, it is instead in the name of his wife, who lives in Monaco and doesn't pay income tax. In 2005, the business tycoon paid himself a dividend payout of £1.2 billion which was channelled through offshore accounts in the tax haven of Jersey before ending up in his wife's tax-free bank account in Monaco.
Tax avoidance is not the same as tax planning or mitigation. Tax planning is conduct which reduces tax liabilities without going against Parliament, for instance, through gifts to charity or investments in certain assets which qualify for tax relief. Other examples of mitigation include saving in a tax-free ISA or paying into a pension scheme.
Tax evasion is to escape paying taxes illegally. This is usually when a person misrepresents or conceals the true state of their affairs to tax authorities, for example dishonest tax reporting. In November 2012, HMRC announced that they "will relentlessly pursue those who engage in evasion, with serious consequences for those who don't pay all the tax they owe, from financial penalties to criminal conviction." An exception here is Switzerland, where many acts that would amount to criminal tax evasion in other countries are treated as civil cases.
Harry Redknapp, former Portsmouth fooball manager, was tried for tax evasion after it was revealed that he accepted an untaxed bonus from the football club which was paid into an account named after his pet dog, Rosie.

Unlike his inaugural address, the president's State of the Union address actually touched on the two issues Americans rank as their top concerns: the economy and government spending. Sadly, his record suggests he's unlikely to get serious about either of them.
First, President Obama insisted his proposals won't add a "single dime to our deficit." Sound familiar? It should. In 2008, then-Senator Obama said Washington must take "responsibility for every dime that it spends." In 2009, he declared before Congress that he would not sign a health care bill "that adds one dime to our deficits."
But according to the Congressional Budget Office, Obamacare's provisions will increase the federal deficit by over $1 trillion through 2022. In 2011, he promised to find "every single dime of waste and misspent money" in the budget. But under President Obama, the national debt has increased more than under any president.
In past State of the Union addresses, President Obama paid lip service to deficit reduction but then did nothing. In 2012, he said "We need to do more" on the deficit, "and that means making choices." In 2011, he declared the federal government should "sacrifice to live within their means." In 2010, he said the government should emulate families "tightening their belts and making tough decisions."
So Americans shouldn't be surprised when he continues this pattern of ignoring his own words. Old habits die hard.
Likewise, we should be suspicious about his State of the Union talk on job creation. The president's advisors heralded Tuesday night's speech as a major "pivot" to the economy. But the president has made countless such "pivots" in the past.
In December 2009, the White House promised a 'very hard pivot to jobs' in the new year. But by March 2010, the New York Times' Jeff Zeleny was left asking, "Whatever happened to that shift from health care to the economy?"
Throughout 2010 and 2011, Democrats repeatedly announced plans to "turn back" to the economy, or "pivot to" jobs. ABC's Jake Tapper complained in August of 2011, "It feels like every couple of months I am reporting that the White House is announcing that they are pivoting to a jobs agenda."
The White House never followed through. The president's most-championed policies —Obamacare, regulations, reckless spending, tax increases — did more to destroy jobs than create them. And his record belies his rhetoric. Unemployment stands at 7.9 percent, higher than when he took office.
Today businesses large and small are unable to hire new workers due to the uncertainty created by our $16.5 trillion debt and sky-high deficits.
Yet Democrats still don't believe we have a problem. On Sunday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi bizarrely insisted, "It is almost a false argument to say we have a spending problem." On Tuesday, Rep. Steny Hoyer proclaimed, "The country has a paying-for problem." Similarly, the president told Speaker John Boehner last month, "We don't have a spending problem."
We can't expect Democrats to fix a problem they don't really believe exists, and higher taxes are not the answer. The only logical way forward is spending restraint and entitlement reform.
The Republican-led House of Representatives has done its part, passing budgets that get spending under control and tax reforms that would allow Americans to keep more of their hard-earned money and spur economic growth. But the Democrat-controlled Senate has failed to pass a budget in nearly four years, and President Obama has missed the deadline to submit his budget this year.
A growing government, which President Obama favors, stifles economic growth, making it harder to attain the American Dream. If government isn't limited, opportunity will be. That's why Republicans want a smarter, more efficient government that lives within its means.
The president talks a good game, and he delivered a nice speech Tuesday night. But Americans need and deserve more. We don't want the president to tell us he cares about jobs and spending. We need him to show us. If not, he'll just confirm what we should already know: He's not serious.
Reince Priebus is Chairman, Republican National Committee

Herpangina is a viral illness that involves ulcers and sores (lesions) inside the mouth, a sore throat, and fever.
See also:
Herpangina is a common childhood infection. It is most often seen in children ages 3 - 10, but it can occur in any age group.
It is typically caused by Coxsackie group A viruses. These viruses are contagious. Your child is at risk for herpangina if someone at school or home has the illness.
- Headache
- Loss of appetite
- Sore throat, or painful swallowing
Ulcersin the mouth and throat, and similar sores on the feet, hands, and buttocks
The ulcers usually have a white to whitish-gray base and a red border. They may be very painful. Generally, there are only a few sores.
Exams and Tests
Tests are not normally necessary.Your doctor can usually diagnose this condition by performing a physical exam and asking questions about the childs symptoms and medical history.
The symptoms are treated as necessary:
- Take acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Motrin) by mouth for fever and discomfort as the doctor recommends.
- Increase fluid intake, especially cold milk products. Gargle with cool water or try eating popsicles. Avoid hot beverages and citrus fruits.
- Eat a non-irritating diet. (Cold milk products, including ice cream, are often the best choices during herpangina infection. Fruit juices are too acidic and tend to irritate the mouth sores.) Avoid spicy, fried, or hot foods.
- Use topical anesthetics for the mouth (these may contain benzocaine or xylocaine and are usually not required).
Outlook (Prognosis)
The illness normally clears up within a week.
Possible Complications
Dehydration is the most common complication, but it can be treated by your doctor.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if:
- Fever, sore throat, or mouth sores last for more than 5 days
- Your child is having trouble drinking liquids or looks
- Fever becomes very high or does not go away
Good handwashing practices can help prevent the spread of the viruses that lead to this infection.

NASHVILLE --- In a game that came down to the final minutes, the Tennessee State University women's basketball team gutted out a, 69-60, win over cross-town opponent Lipscomb University Tuesday night in Allen Arena.
TSU trailed by double-digits in the first half but used key rallies in the contest to pull out the victory. With the win, Tennessee State (4-6) extended its all-time series record over Lipscomb to 18-3.
The Lady Bisons fell to 1-8 on the season.
Jasmin Shuler paced the TSU offense with a season-high 24 points to go with three steals. Chelsea Hudson also recorded double-figures with 10 points and eight rebounds.
Freshman Brianna Lawrence came off the bench to register seven points, four rebounds, three blocks and three steals.
Early in the first half, the score was tied at 5-all when Lipscomb used a 7-0 run to capture a 12-5 advantage. After another spurt, the Lady Bisons went ahead by double-digits with about eight minutes left in half.
An offensive rebound and putback by Chelsea Hudson followed by Avery Jones' layup in the paint sparked a TSU rally that would shift the momentum to the Lady Tigers.
TSU turned up its defensive pressure and outscored LU, 16-5, to close out the first half. The Lady Tigers led, 26-25, at halftime.
Jasmin Shuler drained a triple from the top of the key to christen the second half before Avery Jones scored to make the tally, 31-25, in favor of TSU.
Lipscomb stayed within striking distance and pulled to within one twice before regaining the lead with consecutive three-pointers.
Over the next several possessions the teams traded buckets and the lead wavered back and forth. Lipscomb took advantage of a couple TSU turnovers and went ahead, 53-49 but Jasmin Shuler answered with back-to-back buckets to pull the Lady Tigers even (6:51).
On TSU's next trip down the floor, Brianna Lawrence nailed her second three-pointer of the game to put the Lady Tigers on top, 56-53. Despite Lipscomb threatening, Tennessee State would not trail again.
As time ticked off the clock, TSU was holding on to a slight, 60-58 when Jasmin Shuler buried a 15-footer to give the Lady Tigers a four-point cushion with less than a minute remaining.
When Lipscomb was forced to foul, Tennessee State knocked down seven free-throws to seal the win.
TSU dominated the boards, 40-29, shot 43.8 percent (21-of-48) from the field and knocked down 24-of-34 free-throws (70.6 percent). The Lady Tigers also tallied 12 steals and five blocks in the contest.
The Lady Tigers will break for the Christmas holiday before returning to action on Saturday, Dec. 29 in the first Ohio Valley Conference action of the season against Eastern Illinois. Game time is slated for 5:30 p.m. in the Gentry Center.

DENVER -- Barack Obama received a valuable reminder in his drubbing the first debate: He is a president, not a king.
In the hours after the Republican challenger Mitt Romney embarrassed the incumbent in their first meeting, Obama loyalists expressed puzzlement that the incumbent had done badly. But Obama has only himself to blame, because he set himself up for this emperor-has-no-clothes moment. For the past four years, he has worked assiduously to avoid being questioned, maintaining a regal detachment from the media and other sources of dissent and skeptical inquiry.


text: Victor Farinelli: Ink Master Review (Finale) By Victor Farinelli Well, the end is finally here. In the two-episode finale of this season of Ink Master, I have been left wondering the meaning of life. Well no, not really, but it has a good ring to it. Our contestants are finally whittled down to the last four. In the first of the two episodes, the contestants did not have to do a flash challenge. It was straight to the elimination challenge. They had to demonstrate all the different aspects of tattooing to see who gets to go to the live finale... The twist was that the clients chose the artist. Each of the clients drew straws to pick the artist they wanted to work with. I am using the term "artist" loosely on a couple of these tattooists. The clients were a bunch of thick neck fighters and football players. King Mo was a little on the whiny side. (Left to right: Tattoo by Steve Tefft. Tattoo by Sarah Miller.) Let's just cut to the chase. I need to go to the bathroom, and I don't have time to spend on the shitstorm of personal drama. The judges liked Steve's tattoo. It's not too bad. I don't like it. Sebastian's was one big piece of shit. The judges gave shit to Tatu Baby for her dragon but Sebastain's was way worse than hers. They gave her shit about the anatomy of the dragon, but really the average Jane/Joe Q. Public would not really notice the difference. Sebastian's demon had goddamn clown nose, for fuck sake. Sebastian has not won a goddamn challenge! He is a scratcher! SCRAAAAAAAAAATTTTTCCCCCHHHHHHHHER! (Left to right: Tattoo by Tatu Baby. Tatturd by Sebastian Murphy.) But, who do they pick to go to the final? Sebastian! Fuck me running with an onion in my mouth! They eliminated Tatu Baby. Sorry girl. If I was a judge... well that won't happen. I would tear the scratchers a new asshole. I would go all Simon Cowell / Nick Bockwinkel on their ass. Tatu Baby was graceful in her loss. For the finale, the three remaining artists got to do whatever they wanted. They had a total of 24 hours to do their "masterpieces." Master work. Sheesh. They were each assigned their "master canvas." Let's just cut to the chase, because all the other stuff is just fluff. They brought back all the other contestants and Oliver told Jamie he doesn't even deserve a tattoo. Well fucking said. Jamie you're still a douche-bag and a fake to me. But that really doesn't mean much since you're all famous and shit. The "viewers" got to choose an artist that was eliminated this season to be a contestant on Season 3. They chose Tatu Baby. At least she has a little idea what to expect. The three finalists came out on stage for the critique. Steve had a cool shirt on; Sarah got a push-up bra and a personal trainer, and Sebastian still needs to clean and cut his fingernails. Sebastian got popped for his weak line work on his zombie coming out of this lady's back. He blamed it on the heal. In my experience, if the line is in there, it's in there. I have not had any trouble with line work falling out if it is in there. Choad. Steve, of course did a huge back piece. (Left to right: Tattoo by Sebastian Murphy. Tattoo by Steve Tefft.) Sarah did two tattoos, one a Valkyrie and one of Odin. Sarah gave a black eye to the Valkyrie. When asked, she said that Valkyrie are fighters, that she has just been in battle and she is still standing and fighting. WRONG! Get your Norse mythology correct. The Valkyrie did not battle. Let me school you sister. When a battle is done, the Valkyries come and choose among the slain who will be led by them back to the Valhalla, and ruled over by Odin, the All-Father. Each of the warriors then becomes the Einherjer. They are lovers, not fighters. It sounds like she just made something up to explain the weird dark shading under one eye. (Tattoos by Sarah Miller) The winner of Ink Master was picked by tabulating the votes that were submitted through the website each week after the episode. Sebastian was the first to go because he got the least votes of any contestants. You still got beat out by a girl who has been tattooing a fraction of the time you have! Fucking loser. Down to Steve and Sarah. Drama, drama, drama, suspenseful music, pausing for effect, and low and behold, Steve Tefft is crowned Ink Master! Enough said. Some parting words... If the public truly believes that the finalists and the winner are "ink masters," tattooing in the eyes of the public is in a world of shit. Steve and Sarah are competent artists and have done some decent tattoos. There are tattoo artists / tattooists (take your pick on the term to use) who are eons ahead of these two. Some of this year's judges would definitely fit in that category. The casting call for this show contacts many legitimate artists who turn down the offer to appear on the show because they have no need to prove themselves, and they have a life. Remember, the people who actually accept to appear are probably way down the list of potential contestants. The producers and casting directors pick who they pick for a reason: drama. Drama equals ratings. Otherwise, the show would not be one. I want to thank Tattoo Artist Magazine Blog for giving me this opportunity to masturbate in public. I will be back in the near future with another blog post about something. Who knows what. Happy Holidays or as they say in Norway: God Jul!

- Arsenal v Montpellier, Champions League
Wenger backs Giroud to keep improving
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has insisted he never doubted summer signing Olivier Giroud would make his mark in the Premier League and has backed the striker to continue his improved form against his former club Montpellier in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
Giroud's rising self-belief was in evidence as he turned in an impressive performance in Saturday's 5-2 thumping of Tottenham at Emirates Stadium, with Wenger tipping his first-choice striker to grow into the role over the course of this season.
"There were many factors affecting Olivier at the start," Wenger said. "The first one, I believe physically he worked very hard when he arrived here. The intensity of the games took a lot out of him. The second problem was a bit understanding with your partners. The third problem was level of confidence.
"When you come to a club like Arsenal, you are surrounded by big names. It takes you a while to think; 'OK, I belong to this world'. He has shown that on that level he has gained a lot.
"Now there is no limit to how far he can go. He is a left-footed player with a strong body who is good in the air, he works very hard for the team, but as well he can be good at link play. What I like, he has a good attitude and a good team spirit. He is ready to put his body on the line for the team. Once you have that and his qualities, you wouldn't fix any limit for any player."
Wenger has insisted his team are fully focused on their task of securing the victory over Montpellier that could seal their place in the last 16 of the Champions League, with the indifferent form of their French opponents not diluting Arsenal's motivation for their latest Champions League game.
"There is no risk that my team is complacent," stressed Wenger. "They want to do so well that when it does not go as well as they want, they suffer a bit in their confidence. We will be full of desire to do well and win the game, I am certain of that.
"It is important on the back of the Tottenham game we show another good performance and a resolute attitude. After, if we produce the quality performance, we will win the game and think about making progress to the knock-out stages."
Arsenal player to watch: The return of Kieran Gibbs at left-back after a thigh injury will be a welcome sight for Arsenal fans, not least after the horror show put on by Andre Santos against Man Utd in his stead. With Theo Walcott out with a shoulder injury, expect Gibbs to bomb on to offer attacking support out wide at every opportunity.
Montpellier player to watch: He is likely to start on the bench, but even there it might be worth keeping a wary eye on Cyril Jeunechamp. The veteran defender broke a journalist's nose after the club's 1-1 draw with Valenciennes on Saturday in response to an article about the French side's 3-1 defeat by Olympiakos.
Betting: Giroud may be facing his former club, but there will be little room for sentiment on a vital night for the Gunners. back the in-form striker to score first at 9/2 with bet365
Prediction: 3-0

How will CMU football fare in 2013?
The Morning Sun
Predictions more often than that completely flop in your face (my MLB predictions are a near-complete mess), but every once in a while you run into one that you nail.
I did pick the Central Michigan football team to finish the 2012 regular season with a 6-6 record, which is exactly what transpired. I also had them beating Western Kentucky in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl, so I guess it was one of the rare times that I at least got the end result correct.
What I'm really saying is that expect the following predictions to be entirely inaccurate.
Even so, it's a fun exercise so let's get started.
Saturday, Aug. 31 - at Michigan
Quite a different way for the Chippewas to start the season in 2013 as opposed to last year when it hosted Southeast Missouri State. Playing in front of over 100,000 people and a national television audience against the 17th-ranked team in the country will be a daunting task especially with CMU breaking in a new quarterback in junior Cody Kater. The keys will be winning the turnover battle and getting a run game established to help settle in Kater. Even so, the mighty Wolverines will likely be too much to handle. But if Appalachian State (2007) and Toledo (2008) can win at the Big House, so can Central Michigan. I'd have no problem writing about one of the biggest upsets in CMU history.
Prediction: Michigan 35, Central Michigan 17 (0-1)
Saturday, Sept. 7 - vs. New Hampshire
New Hampshire only played one FBS opponent last year, that being a 44-7 loss at Minnesota. But traditionally, it is a strong FCS program and CMU cannot walk into its home opener thinking it has an easy win. Chip Kelly turned the Wildcats into an up-tempo offensive juggernaut. Look for a quick start to put the Chippewas well on their way to a victory.
Prediction: Central Michigan 38, New Hampshire 16 (1-1)
Saturday, Sept. 14 - at UNLV
This could turn out to be a key game for the Chippewas as UNLV has had its fair share of struggles with its football program and this is certainly a winnable game. The Rebels have only won two games each of the last three years, so a loss would be a low note for CMU.
Prediction: Central Michigan 27, UNLV 13 (2-1)
Saturday, Sept. 21 - vs. Toledo
This is another major game as Central Michigan opens its MAC slate with a Rockets program that is traditionally one of the better teams in the conference. Last year's game was a close one until a pair of fourth-quarter interceptions returned for touchdowns turned it in Toledo's favor. Flip the turnover battle and win the game.
Prediction: Central Michigan 38, Toledo 35 (3-1, 1-0 MAC)
Saturday, Sept. 28 - at North Carolina State
The first game of a three-game road trip, Central Michigan will need to put together another very good performance to top the Wolfpack, similar to the performance a year ago at Iowa. Look for the Chippewas to keep it close, but not quite get over the hump.
Prediction: North Carolina State 23, Central Michigan 17 (3-2)
Saturday, Oct. 5 - at Miami
Central Michigan compiled one of its best showings of the season in 2012 when it rolled past the RedHawks at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. Miami will certainly want a measure of revenge, but it seems as though it is a program that is a step behind the Chippewas in terms of development. Central by 10.
Prediction: Central Michigan 31, Miami 21 (4-2, 2-0)
Saturday, Oct. 12 - at Ohio
At this point of the road trip, there is a chance the Chippewas might be a little bit fatigued. If they are, the timing will be bad as Ohio appears to be one of the top teams in the entire Mid-American Conference. The Bobcats are my preseason pick to win the MAC Championship. While Ohio usually methodically wears down an opponent with a power running game, it is still proficient in the air with veteran quarterback Tyler Tettleton. If CMU struggles to stop both, it will be a long day.
Prediction: Ohio 42, Central Michigan 24 (4-3, 2-1)
Saturday, Oct. 19 - vs. Northern Illinois
It is fair to say that Central Michigan has Northern Illinois' full attention. Two years ago, the Chippewas were the only MAC team to defeat the Huskies with a 48-41 victory. Central Michigan then went to DeKalb, Ill., last year and led in the third quarter before NIU eventually pulled away, showing why it was eventually a BCS team. Hard to see Northern Illinois losing again in Mt. Pleasant, but stranger things have happened.
Prediction: Northern Illinois 38, Central Michigan 34 (4-4, 2-2)
Wednesday, Nov. 6 - at Ball State
The lone mid-week game for CMU is a nationally televised tilt at Ball State, a team that has made tremendous strides under head coach Pete Lembo. In doing these predictions so late, I had the luxury of seeing some of the Cardinals' Thursday night win over Illinois State. Needless to say, it wasn't the prettiest of performances in the first have before the hosts eventually pulled away. It is unfair to take too much away from week one, but it showed Ball State is beatable. With such a layoff leading into this game, the Chippewas should be well-prepared.
Prediction: Central Michigan 37, Ball State 28 (5-4, 3-2)
Saturday, Nov. 16 - at Western Michigan
The ol' rivalry game. The Broncos are super young and a bit of a mystery under first-year head coach P.J Fleck, while Dan Enos is in his fourth year and has established something in Mt. Pleasant. Central Michigan has struggled in its last couple trips to Kalamazoo, but this is the perfect year for the Chippewas to flip that script as long as a horrid fourth quarter like last year doesn't derail them.
Prediction: Central Michigan 24, Western Michigan 20 (6-4, 4-2)
Saturday, Nov. 23 - vs. UMass
Last year, it was kind of unfortunate how much of a laughingstock UMass was in its first year in FBS, at least early in the season. By the time the Chippewas played the Minutemen in late November, it was clearly a much-improved squad. UMass should continue to make strides this year, but it isn't quite there yet. With Central Michigan happy to be back home, expect a fairly sizeable win.
Prediction: Central Michigan 35, UMass 10 (7-4, 5-2)
Friday, Nov. 29 - vs. Eastern Michigan
Rare is the year that Eastern Michigan does not give the Chippewas fits. Even last year, the Eagles grabbed a 14-0 lead before CMU stormed back and earned the victory. Expect nothing less from this one, but some way and somehow Central Michigan pulls it out again. I'll give it my five-overtime special.
Prediction: Central Michigan 57, Eastern Michigan 55, five OTs

Greening The Screen is an annual event in the form of a debate hosted at BAFTA. Over the session an expert panel discuss green issues facing the film and television industries.
Greening The Screen 2012
Watch our video from the 2012 Greening The Screen Event, featuring impressionist and green campaigner Alistair McGowan, and much more.
Greening The Screen 2010
On 19 September 2010 BAFTA hosted a live discussion with a panel of experts to talk about how businesses and individuals can reduce their carbon footprints in our industries. The live discussion was followed by a Trade Fair of organisations that work to help keeping things greener.
Moderated by Alistar McGowan, speakers included: Kevin Price (COO of BAFTA), Tim Bevan (Co-Founder and Co-Chairman, Working Title and Chair of the UK Film Council), Melanie Dicks (Partner, Greenshoot), Jonathon Porritt (founding Director of Forum for the Future and Chairman of the UK Sustainable Development Commission) and Andy Whittaker (Founder and Chairman, Dogwoof).
During its shoot 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' saved $55,000 by diverting an estimated 615 tonnes of waste from landfill.
What is BS 8909?
Recent films such as 2006's An Inconvenient Truth and 2009's The Age of Stupid have played important roles in promoting sustainable living. But the very act of producing and distributing a film or television show is notoriously environmentally unfriendly - a feature film can produce 2000 tonnes of carbon emissions. What can be done to reduce this?
BS 8909 - or British Standard 8909 - is a new voluntary code of practice developed by the BSI, the UK Film Council and various sectors of the industry. As Tim Bevan (UKFC) says, it gives an 'indication to the industry about how to do things' - encouraging and incentivising working methods that cut down on a production's carbon footprint.
Learn more about the British Standard BS 8909.
How can we encourage sustainability?
Jonathan Porrit, founder of Forum for the Future, says the challenge is persuading people and companies that sustainable living actually improves the quality of their functioning: 'the efficiency of their operations, even the bottom line of their operations'.
It's not just about saving the planet: sustainable initiatives directly benefit the economy, he says.
The set on Nanny McPhee 2 was recycled up to 94%. We were completely embraced and everybody was on board.
How can we begin to make a difference?
- Change your mode of travel: if you drive, could you dive less? If you have a bike, could you cycle more? It also has knock-on effects on the quality of life - especially in cities.
- Make small changes to your daily routine: try implementing some low/no-cost sustainability initiatives to see if they can make you more efficient. When you and others see the benefits, there will be greater willingness to invest in bigger schemes.
- Find people to help: once you get out there and start networking a little, you'll realise people are more willing to help than you think...

A lawsuit brought by a Bluffton police officer charging his higher-ups with discrimination heads to trial in Charleston on Monday, but unlike previous department suits, the town will defend itself without its insurer, leaving it wholly responsible for any damages awarded.
Since 2011, the town has paid $95,000 toward $286,000 in judgments from three separate police department suits, with the S.C. Insurance Reserve Fund covering that difference as the town's tort liability representative. In the case of Bluffton officer and National Guardsman Mark Dorsey, however, the town stands alone in U.S. District Court Monday at 9:30 a.m., said town attorney Terry Finger.
"It'll be the town's responsibility (to pay)," he said.
Finger declined further comment, including the town's reason for swearing off the help of its insurer. He previously said past lawsuits never went to trial because the insurer drove them to settlement rather than risk a court proceeding.
Dorsey filed a lawsuit in March 2012 under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) alleging town officials passed him over for a bonus, threatened him with disciplinary action if he attended a required training exercise, then damaged his career by initiating a congressional probe into his military service.
The town has denied Dorsey's major claims, demanding proof.
In his suit, Dorsey said he notified the town under USERRA every time he was called to active duty, from Homeland Security operations in 2003 to Hurricane Katrina aid and a tour of Afghanistan.
The town, however, maintains Dorsey failed to provide proper advance notice of military duties, exceeded the five-year length of service requirements under law, didn't report back to work in a timely manner and scheduled himself for duty that was not required by his superiors.
Former Police Chief David McAllister, who is expected by both sides to provide testimony, has said the town held Dorsey's position for two years longer than bound by law under the five-year rule.
Nancy Bloodgood, Dorsey's attorney, will have to persuade jurors that his military status was a "motivating factor" in town decision-making, though in cases of alleged USERRA violations indirect evidence of discrimination is admissible, according to court documents.
Bloodgood also represented former Lt. Katherine Sours - who is also listed as an expected witness - in two successful lawsuits that cost the town $90,000 toward the $236,000 in damages. She declined comment.
Bloodgood and Finger said they expect proceedings to take two days.
One other case from the McAllister era, a suit from Officer Christian Gonzales, remains open in Beaufort County Common Pleas.

I've been fairly open and honest about the divorce I'm going through, which has been no easy feat. I've been separated from my husband for more than two years now, which means that all my well-meaning friends are bending over backwards to find me a new man in my life.
Problem is, I don't want one.
At least, not yet.
Just because I don't feel like dating yet doesn't mean that I've become a man-hater or am ready to live a life with 40 cats all named Mr. Sprinkles. Far from it. I'd love nothing more than to have a partner. I'm simply not ready for one.
After being with the same person for nine years, I've still got a ton of soul-searching and healing to do well before I can focus my attention on anyone else, which means I'd probably attract the wrong kind of guy if I even attempted dating.
Divorce isn't easy, not by a longshot, which means that I have a lot more recovering and discovering of myself to do before I can actually give myself to someone else.
I know the old saying about getting back on the horse and riding if the thing bucks you off, but it doesn't feel right for me. I have to overcome the losses of the dreams I'd had -- none of which involved the D Word -- and work my way through the grief. Bringing another person into this with me is simply not fair. Not to me, and especially not to him.
It's safe to say that I wouldn't make a very good partner right now, and I'm not ashamed to admit that. And when I'm ready to wade back into the dating pool, I'm sure that I'll know it. But I'm not prepared to rush things just so I can alleviate the discomfort of learning to live on my own and rediscover who I am.
That, to me, is far more important than having someone I can only half-heartedly devote myself to. I've settled for less than I deserve for a very long time, and I'm not ready to do that again.
So, I thank you, my friends, for being concerned that I might wither away alone in my apartment, but know that when the time is right, I'll be more than ready to jump back into relationship territory, shiny, fresh, and new.
Until then, it's time to devote myself to, well, myself. Why? Because I deserve it. And so does my potential (future) partner.
Did you date after divorce? When did you know it was time?

Meghan Beckett Farmer, a first-grade teacher at Mills River Elementary, has been selected as the 2013-14 Henderson County Public Schools Teacher of the Year.
Meghan Farmer had tears in her eyes Friday as she hugged students lining the halls of Mills River Elementary.
Less than an hour before, the first-grade teacher had been presented with one of the highest honors in the Henderson County Public Schools system, the 2013 Teacher of the Year award.
After accepting the award at a luncheon with her colleagues at Hendersonville Country Club, Farmer returned to school for a celebration with the students, who held handmade banners and signs as they clapped and cheered.
"I started to cry right away," Farmer said.
The Appalachian State University graduate has taught at Mills River Elementary for the past three years and has seven years of teaching experience.
The school system's teacher of the year was chosen from a field of 23 teachers of the year, each representing a school in Henderson County and nominated by their peers.
Farmer said she felt "overwhelmed and completely honored" by the award and the accolades from her students and colleagues.
"It's a dream come true," she said. "We don't expect (awards) as teachers. It's a lifetime dream come true."
Mills River Elementary Principal Todd Murphy said Farmer is "a very deserving, outstanding teacher. She is very energetic and very motivated. She has a special gift of letting the kids know how much she cares about them."
Several children in her first-grade class agreed. Alex Hoffman, 7, said Farmer is "really fun and really special," and added that he's had a "really, really fun school year."
The best part of being in her class? "Letting her teach us."
For Emmy Atwell, 7, the best part of being in Farmer's class is "Everything." Atwell especially likes the math games her teacher plays, and said she wishes she could have Farmer again for second grade, "because she's such a great teacher."
A committee, comprised of a principal, assistant principal, parent, school board member, and the current year's teacher of the year, interviews the candidates to select the district's teacher of the year.
SunTrust Bank sponsors a luncheon each year to recognize educators and honor all of the nominees. Before announcing the award winner's name Friday, Superintendent David Jones spoke about the contributions the chosen teacher makes day in and day out.
The winner chose a career in teaching "to make a difference" and "wanted a job that would be challenging," he said. The winner's "classroom is full of discovery and learning. It is noisy and fun."
Explaining that the winning teacher "has a partnership with the families of her students and creates opportunities for them to be involved" with their children's learning, Jones noted that "she develops lessons using creativity made for little minds to understand."
He then announced Farmer's name, to much applause.
SunTrust Bank Eastgate Office Manager Farrell Beam presented Farmer with a check for $1,000, saying that a key focus at the bank was giving back to the community.
"And I can't think of a better investment than to give back to educators," he said. "You are going to affect children's lives for the rest of their lives."
Accepting the award, Farmer said she hadn't prepared any remarks, not imagining that she would be chosen, but thanked her colleagues for the recognition of her work.
"Thank you for your support and keeping me on my toes and making me the best teacher I can be," she said.
Every year, Farmer participates in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters Bowl for Kid's Sake to raise money to support the organization. She volunteers to mentor college interns who are seeking a career in education. She also created a teaching blog specifically for other educators around the world. In the blog, she shares her professional knowledge as well as lessons and activities that have proved successful.
East Henderson High Student Body President Will Overstreet, who has been class president for all four years of his high school career, also spoke at the event, noting how crucial teachers were in his life. He quoted Henry Adams, who said, "A teacher affects eternity. He can never tell when his influence stops."
"Teachers are always, always, always striving for our personal best," Overstreet said. "I have an enormous amount of respect for all of you."
Although Overstreet plans to attend the University of South Carolina in Columbia, he noted, "I am proud to say that I came from Henderson County Public Schools."

Woman kept her husband's body in bedroom closet for 2 years
Woman kept her husband's body in bedroom closet for 2 years
Bernalillo County deputies were serving an eviction notice at a New Mexico home in May when they smelled a body.
Deputies called in the Albuquerque Police Department, and officers found the man's body in the walk-in closet of the master bedroom.
The man was tucked in under blankets, and his head was propped up on a pillow.
Officers reported seeing baking soda and air fresheners throughout the closet.
The woman admitted her husband had died more than two years prior, but she didn't know how to cope with his death.
A police report said the woman was taken to a mental health hospital.
