Indian film stars, Bollywood Oscars come to Fla.
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The International Indian Film Academy is holding its annual awards ceremony in Tampa starting Wednesday.
The city is an unusual choice for the awards because it's not known for having one of the largest Indian-American populations in the U.S., but tourism officials hope it will be an economic boon. Some 30,000 performers, industry executives and fans are expected to visit.
It's the first time in the event's 15-year history that the Indian film academy has gathered in the United States.
Here's a look at what Tampa has done to get ready for the extravaganza:
Tourism officials produced a series of cultural sensitivity webinars for airport, hotel and restaurant workers. Among the tips: Don't be shocked that some Indians have different accents, some might not "look Indian," and, "just because you don't recognize them, doesn't mean they aren't famous."
Security and service workers were told Bollywood fans can be intense. Niti Shah, who runs a Bollywood dance academy in Tampa, said in a training video that "the crowds will be that of a pop concert." Security should "expect that most of the fans will be avid friendly fans. The perceived aggressive behavior by U.S. standards is not them being out of control. In fact these fans are intent on their purpose and will not take no for an answer."
The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino is hosting a VIP party for 1,000 people at the casino's Council Oak Steaks & Seafood restaurant and added vegetarian dishes because some Indians are vegetarian or don't eat beef. Tourism officials also suggested that restaurants stay open later to accommodate Indian guests, who like to eat later (most Tampa restaurants close before 10 p.m. on weekends).
The Tampa International Airport is ground zero for celebrities and their fans. Airport officials — some of whom have gotten business cards made in Hindi — have closed the top floor of the parking garage so incoming Indian celebrities and their entourages can meet in an orderly fashion with fans. Wearing sunglasses, Shahid Kapoor, an actor with 4 million followers on Twitter, arrived to a small crowd at the VIP area Monday. He is scheduled to co-host Saturday's awards ceremony.
Hollywood celebrities are in town, as well. Oscar-winning actor and House of Cards star Kevin Spacey will give a master acting class alongside Vidya Balan, a wildly popular Indian actress. John Travolta, also an Oscar winner, will appear at the awards ceremony. Academy officials will honor Travolta with the "Most Popular All Time International Star In India" award. Past Hollywood stars at the ceremonies include Angelina Jolie, Hilary Swank and Cuba Gooding, Jr.

It's not an easy feat to stay on the New York Times Bestsellers List for four-and-a-half years straight, but Tim Ferriss is used to pushing limits.In 2007, Ferriss transformed the world of book marketing with a grassroots campaign that gave his first book, The 4-Hour Work Week, mass appeal — all while detailing his adventures as a champion kickboxer, world record holder, entrepreneur, and more.
But there was one mountain that Ferriss still hadn't climbed: how to find his way around a kitchen. The author couldn't tell his basil from his parsley when he began writing his latest book, The 4-Hour Chef: The Simple Path to Cooking Like a Pro, Learning Anything, and Living the Good Life. But in typical Ferriss fashion, he traversed the globe interviewing top chefs. In the process he found a new model for efficient learning: pinpointing the best, copying their craft, and skipping all the unnecessary filler lessons that most courses begin with.
Your first book was about escaping the workaholic lifestyle to "find your muse." Do you think it's better making a living doing what you love, or to make a living that allows you to spend time doing what you love?
If you wake up on Saturday morning and go surfing to decompress for the week, that is different from having to wake up at six every morning Monday to Friday and take investment bankers out to surf. One is elective and one is mandatory. Adults and three-years-olds are very similar, in that as soon as we have to do something, we start to resent it.
For instance with me, I don't like to do a lot of speaking engagements like a lot of authors do. I just find it really boring. I now only do two types: it's either top price or free. If you realize that income is intended to ultimately improve your quality of life in some fashion, then it makes it easier to forgo some the fleeting, high-maintenance opportunities.
How much real world experience do you need before you kind of go off on your own and create your own lifestyle?
I don't think you need any real world experience. It's a question of whether you want to learn the trial and error lessons on someone else's dime or on your own dime. If you get used to a cushy corporate job and automatic money, it's pretty tough to say: "I have to sell the car and get a smaller apartment because I'm going off on my own."
How would you describe your writing process?
I do my best writing between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.. Almost every friend I have who is a consistently productive writer, does their best writing between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. My quota is two crappy pages per day. I keep it really low so I'm not so intimidated that I never get started. I will do the gathering of interviews and research throughout the day. I'll get all my notes and materials together and then I'll do the synthesis between 10 p.m. to bed, which is usually 4 or 5 a.m.
I will have a station on Pandora, and I will put a movie on and mute it in the background so I don't feel like I'm in isolation. Then I jam. It takes me an hour and a half to get my brain into the flow of doing anything writing related. So once I'm in that flow, I will bleed the stone for as long as I can. If things are going well, I'm not going to stop until I nose dive. But if it goes for an hour-and-a-half and it's like pulling teeth, then it might be time to go to bed.
It's easy to say "don't read a million blogs, don't do this don't do that" but it's often really difficult to shut off and focus. What have you found that actually works?
Use RescueTime and trial it for a week, and try a low-information diet. Get a really cheap laptop that doesn't have Internet connectivity and do as much work on that as possible. As odd as it sounds, go back to pen and paper. Because once you're on the computer and distraction is a click away, you're just like a rat with a cocaine dispenser. You're going to get toasted.
You're known for your grassroots marketing style. Do artists today have a responsibility to market themselves?
It's 100% their responsibility. If you want to be a tremendous artist, and then expect people to beat a path to your door, you can try that. The fact of the matter is, it's not going to happen unless you meet someone who makes that happen.
So you can make it accidental or you can grease the wheels of the universe and try to encourage those things to happen. In that case, guess what? You're marketing. When people think marketing, they think of a cheesy sales guy. Marketing is knowing exactly who your customers are, and trying to get your product, your art to them. If you are creating art for yourself, well great, go live in a cave and do it. But if you're doing it commercially and you have bills to pay, it's not selling out to get your work to the people who most appreciate it.

Pete Eldridge Q&A
Words by Oliver Barton
When I first met Pete in London at the turn of the millenium, he was the living embodiment of low maintenance going with the flow—no money, no plane tickets home, no girlfriend, no "program," no car, no bed, no clean clothes, no iPod, and most of all, no worries. He was the ultimate minimalist, a concept preached by so many, practiced by so few. After a couple of Euro summers, we went our different ways and the skatevine went quiet, so when I heard he was installing heating units in Philly with his uncle, the news was pretty hard to believe. I mean, you always want to see things work out for your friends, but this guy is the white Keenan Milton with bad boy tranny skills to boot; he should be lighting spliffs with 100-dollar bills and throwing temper tantrums because the topsheet colors on his board don't match the seats in his Lambo. Fortunately for us, the cream always rises to the top and with one thing leading to another, here we are at the end of 2008 and he's got his name inked on a board again. I can't write enough good about this mug, so I'll let the photos do the talking for now and tell you to keep your eyes peeled wide for his part in the Mystery promo dropping any day now, as well as the return of the best flatground tricks since JB Gillet's nollie frontside flip in Rodney Vs. Daewon 2.
So how did you get into skating? Did you have friends that skated when you were a little kid?
My brother skated a bit and then I took over. I took his board back in the day—he got a board for Christmas and I traded all of my Christmas presents for his skateboard.
What presents did you trade?
I couldn't even tell you! I got a Tony Hawk mini from him though. I took the cheese off the tail—the big plastic thing—and the nose guard, but left the rails on there and then shredded that board.
Your dad used to be in the army and then the police—was he cool with you skating?
Yeah, he was cool. I mean, he always told me to "get a job," but he was cool.
He used to train operatives too, right? Did he ever train you?
What, to get a job?! No, he taught me some moves though. He told me that if I was out in the streets in the city, always run from rookie cops because they always put the rookies on the beat. He'd say, "If you get in trouble with those dudes, just run from them. You can probably outrun them and it's better than getting caught by some dickhead-ass rookie." If they roll up in a car or if they're older-looking cops, they're usually cooler. It's the younger-looking cops who are usually dickheads who want to prove something fresh out of high school.
Your dad told you that?
So what did your dad think about you burning around the neighborhood on a dirt bike?
Well, I was probably about ten or eleven. I started out on a little 50 and moved up. We were far enough out of the city that we had a lot of woods around the house. To get over to my friend's house it was either ride my BMX or ride the dirt bike, so I'd ride the dirt bike. I was a little kid doing jumps and sh-t.
So why would the police be chasing you?
Because we'd f—k with them! We'd always cross this one highway and there would always be cops sitting there just waiting. They weren't really into us crossing there or riding around, so we'd ride up and down the streets or cross the highways right where they'd be sitting and try to get them to chase us. We'd be blazing down the roads and then turn off onto a trail and blaze off down there and they wouldn't be able to catch us. We'd do it all the time.
Did you ever get caught?
Well, no. Because my dad was a cop he knew some of the cops in town, so they would show up at the house, but I would never be there. Sometimes I'd come home and see a cop car in the driveway and just think, "Oh well, I'm not going home yet!" I'd just turn around and go back the other way.
So at what point did Uptown skates come into the equation?
That was probably like when I was fourteen or fifteen. I'd go to Philly all the time, and I had a couple of friends there, a couple of older guys that I would skate with and they had their own little board company out of Philly that they all rode for. I was like, "Hook me up!" So they started to flow me boards here and there every month or two and we'd meet up and skate all over the city. It was different back then—it was around the time that the Sub Zero video came out. I mean, a little after that, but it was all about shredding the whole city, pushing everywhere, skating everything: stairs, ledges, cruising down the sidewalks, and hitting curb cuts and all that sh-t. Go fast and skate through the city. We'd skate through Love, hit as many ledges as we could, then roll over to city hall, ollie down the stairs and hit those ledges, and then keep going skating through the city. You never stopped and skated one spot, you just kept going and going.
Did you skate with Ricky Oyola back then?
Yeah, I used to see Rick all the time, I'd skate with him randomly when I saw him here and there—you'd see him out skating all the time. I still see him all the time, he's always out skating. He'll just show up skating random spots. It was fun back then and he's still Rick today, you know? Just ripping.
How did Stereo occur?
I think that it was after one of the Shred For Lifes that they did out on the East Coast, just before Mike Cardona passed and it became Shred For Mike. I got hooked up on Thunder and Spit by Mic-E Reyes, and then the same day [Chris] Pastras told me he wanted me to ride for Stereo. I was still in high school, but I would go out to S.F. here and there.
Who were you skating with back then?
With JR Neves a lot—he was on Stereo too.
What is he doing now?
He's chilling, just working. I see him once in a while out and about skating. He lays flooring, tiling, I think.
Is that when you first hooked up with the Newell crew?
Yeah, one of the first times that I went out to San Francisco I went over to the Newell house because Dustin [Dollin] was living there and he was on Stereo at the time, so I went out and stayed there and met Frank Gerwer and all those dudes. There was so much funny sh-t happening back then. I remember we were all partying one day—we were staying at Pastras' house, a bunch of us. Pastras was out somewhere, I was seventeen and we were sitting there getting wasted like usual and we were leaving because we were being too loud or something and next thing you know, this, that, and the other happens and the front window of the building gets smashed—Frank just went flying through it!
Did you meet Elissa Steamer back then too?
Yeah, I knew Elissa back then. I started staying at Newell and Shane Heyl was on Stereo too—he lived at the Warner house in Huntington Beach. I knew [Mike] Maldonado from back East, and I came down from S.F. with Shane and stayed at Warner and that's when I met Elissa and Erik [Ellington] and those dudes. There was always a big crew, but I'd mostly skate with Shane and Mike and Plain. I was skating with Kerry Getz the whole time back East too. I used to live at Kerry's house in the city. He helped out a lot.
The Philly scene seems a little quiet at the moment compared with what it was before. Is that true or is it just a minor media hiatus?
I don't know what you're talking about! The East Coast is f—king killing it, are you kidding me? We just aren't Californian, you know. We do it a little bit different. There are people ripping on the East Coast: Kevin Taylor, Kerry Getz, Kyle Nicholson who skates for Nocturnal. Jimmy McDonald, that kid is killing it. That's just in Philly.
What was some of the craziest sh-t you saw go down trick wise at Love?
Everything that Freddy [Gall] did in the Sub Zero video, and Matt Reason—probably the gnarliest shit ever done there, way before its time.
Is it pretty sketchy there? Would you see a lot of random crazy sh-t?
Yeah, I mean, it's a city, so you see all sorts of crazy stuff going on all the time. A couple of months ago, there was a lady without any legs, and she didn't have a wheelchair, she was just dragging herself around. She tried to fight another lady, it was pretty wild. I think that she had a cane or something, they were yelling and screaming at each other. I could believe it, I kept thinking, "Is this really happening right now?"
So, outside of Philly, where was the first ever skate trip that you went on?
It's all a blur. Actually, the summer after I got on Stereo I just jumped in the van. Nate Jones had just got on Real and we drove from Philly to New York and then went to Ohio and kept cruising. It was pretty casual, I just wanted to skate.
That was the start of sleeping on a lot of couches. What are your top tips for couch surfing?
Let's see, first of all, clean up after yourself. Don't be a dick to the people that live in the house, even when they're dicks to you. Keep it cool—you're sleeping on their couch. If you are cleaning up after yourself, clean up after them too—nobody can get mad if the house is clean. Let them smoke your weed, drink your beer, and share your food if you get food, because you aren't paying rent. Hook them up with a meal here and there.
You ducked out of the limelight for a little bit, what were you doing?
Working construction, installing fireplaces. I was working with my homeys, my boy Jesse, he gave me some jobs. Putting holes in roofs, putting shingles up, painting walls, just odd jobs.
Was it hard going from getting paid to skate to that?
I didn't think that it was going to be that hard to get a job, but it really was. I just thought, "Well, I'll just work construction," but it was hard work and it was really hard to find work. I mean, you gotta do what you gotta do, but jobs were scarce. Everyone wants to keep their jobs for themselves, so all you can do is freelance and try and get whatever you can get. A lot of the jobs were real sh-tty but you get paid to do it so you just got to do it. It's the middle of the winter, twenty degrees, and it's weird, but you thank God the ground is frozen because you have to haul a fireplace across frozen ground that would normally just be thick mud. It's the only good thing about it being freezing.
Did you totally disconnect from skating at that time? Were you skating, and what brought you back?
I was skating the whole time, but I didn't look at any magazines or watch any videos. I was working construction and I was just thinking, "Dude, I got to get the f—k out of here, I don't want to do this anymore." I mean, it was sick because I was working with my uncle, but it was hard. I remember one time, it was eight in the morning and I had already been up for three hours and I was sitting in the truck freezing thinking, "Sh-t, man, I don't want to do this anymore."
I was still skating every day after work—I'd get a half hour in skating the mini by my house, but all I could get was a half hour because I'd just be so tired. I'd go home, eat something and go straight to sleep, wake up the next day and do it all over again. I heard about this contest from some friends and the jobs were getting real scarce with the fireplaces. You'd have on days and off days—you'd make decent money one day and then nothing the next even though you had worked because you don't get paid hourly—you get paid by the job, so if the job didn't get done, you had nothing. It was really inconsistent. A couple of friends said they were going down to the contest and they told me I should go. I needed to get some money up because I had rent to pay and the fireplaces weren't doing it. They told me there was a seat in the car if I wanted it, so I thought, All right, let me figure it out." I called up one of my homeys and asked him, "Hey man, you got any work? I need something because I need to get the f—k out of here in two days." He told me, "Yeah yeah, show up at 48th Street." I met him the next day, well, I was there at nine, he got there at 10:30, and I just did a bunch of random work for him. My friend Jay is a property manager renting houses, so he had me mowing grass and weeding in the gardens. I don't even know, putting batteries in fire alarms, all kinds of random stuff. He paid me 100 bucks for that day and that was all I had. I woke up the next morning and took the train over to my friend Ron Gordon's house and we drove down south to a contest and I won five grand down there! It was a Masa pro contest—I got third and came up five grand, I was psyched!
So you were entering pro contests and you weren't even sponsored at the time?
Yeah, I guess so. While I was down there some people were saying there was this Dew Tour thing going on in three days in Baltimore, which isn't that far. We were already in North Carolina. I drove back to Philly and then the next day drove two hours to Baltimore to the Dew Tour contest and qualified. I went on a bunch of those using the five grand I won to get to each of the contests I needed to get to. I was wining a grand at each contest. I mean, they'll give you a grand for last place!
When did Jamie Thomas come into the picture?
That actually started when I was back in the freezing truck trying to figure out what I was going to do. I was still talking to Elissa all the time and she's on Zero, so she was telling me to talk to Jamie, so I called him up and he was really cool and started sending me boards. After I had been skating the boards a while, he asked me, "Tell me what you want to do. You want to work blue collar? I'll keep sending you boards for the rest of your life—you can get them for as long as you want. Or do you want to skate?" I told him, I wanted to take it to the next level and get skating again, full-time. Well, try anyway, and try to get on the team.
Did that take a while or was it pretty quick?
Yeah, I was on flow for a while, then I got on the team. It all just blends together now.
Was it easy to get motivated to film having come from the fireplaces?
Yeah, I have always been down to go out and skate no matter what, if I'm sponsored or not. Sometimes it's hard getting tricks, but it's just hard getting tricks sometimes!
You were on Bootleg with Nick Trapasso. Do you ever trip seeing him blowing up right now?
No, I never second-guessed it. I knew the kid had it—he was amazing back then, too, when he was a little-ass kid. I knew he was either going to fall off hard or do it big, and he's doing it big right now. Some of those little kids, they have that little-kid stee and then they hit puberty and they meet a chick or they just blow it pretty hard, but he did it big. There are so many amazing skaters that come up fast, and then poof, they're gone. Maybe some people treat those kids too well when they're young and they start thinking that they deserve something for nothing. Riding for Bootleg, it was like, "Hey man, you gotta earn yours! No golden tickets." We were all in it for the same thing—skating. "You want to eat today, Nick? You better get a trick!" I remember our last trip was 29 demos in 30 days, and we street skated every day. We got mad sh-t up and down the East Coast, it was sick.
You still skate with Maldonado?
Yeah, I still skate with Mike a bunch—he's still shredding. Sometimes I go up to his house—he's got all kinds of animals up there: dogs, a couple of alligators in his pool in the back yard. He hooked me up with my dog, Carlito, an American bulldog. He breeds all sorts of the biggest, beastliest dogs.
Have you got Carlito pretty well trained?
Yeah. Not as good as DMX's dog, Boomer, though. That pit bull that he has tattooed on his back with "One Love Boomer." The story I heard was that was his ace dog—he'd walk around with him and he had him trained so that when he let him off the leash the dog would go and snatch ladies purses and bring them back to him! That is G as f—k!
Is there anything you would change about the path that you've taken?
No regrets, man, I'd do it all again.

Defining Problem Solving
|The Problem-Solving Standard | Organizing Data | Draw a Diagram or Make a Model | Organize the Data in a List, Diagram, Table, or Graph | Generate and Eliminate Candidates | Additional Problem-Solving Strategies | Low Threshold, High Ceiling Problems | Summary | Your Journal
One way students learn mathematics is through active involvement in solving a variety of rich mathematical problems. Traditionally, both examples in which students practiced skills ("story problems") and computational drills were considered "problems." For example, a textbook might present a multiplication exercise in two ways: with numbers, as in "Find 4 x 56," or with words, as in problems "How many legs are on 56 elephants?"
The process of problem solving encompasses mathematics far beyond completing examples presented with words. In fact, a problem is actually a task for which a means to a solution is not known in advance. The "problem" in the lesson on multiplication was actually an "exercise" for practicing the skill, rather than an actual problem. The students did not have to think about the situation in order to answer it -- they could do so by applying the procedure taught in the lesson.
So, how do we help students become better problem solvers? First, the teacher needs to provide rich mathematical problems that will be of interest to students. Good problems will provide opportunities for students to build on their knowledge to develop understanding of the mathematical concepts. Students need to develop a wide variety of approaches or strategies to get their arms around the problem and begin their work.
In the next part of this session, we take a closer look at some problem-solving strategies that middle school students should be familiar with.

CHICAGO – Potential No. 1 pick Nerlens Noel said his recovery from a torn knee ligament is going better than anticipated but that he expects to make his NBA debut sometime around Christmas, an assessment that should end speculation about whether he could be ready for the start of the season.
The Kentucky power forward/center is rivaled by only Kansas shooting guard Ben McLemore as the clear favorites to be chosen first overall in the June 27 NBA Draft. Noel has an edge in their head-to-head matchup but McLemore is a realistic option based on team need once the lottery order is set Tuesday. But Noel has the unique risk for a possible No. 1 of coming off knee surgery in March, late enough that he not only is unable to work out for clubs but also will force him to miss summer league and training camp.
His report on the current rehabilitation in Birmingham, Ala., offers the prognosis of a successful recovery yet also the reality he will probably miss at least the first two months of his rookie season. Noel said the timetable is based on what he calls 'very encouraging' feedback on the recovery efforts along with the initial estimate of needing six to eight months to get back on the court.
"I have no doubt that I will be 100 percent, [and] even better than before, especially with everything I'm doing now," he said. "I'm strengthening everything – upper body, lower body. I'm sure I'll be better than 100 percent when I get back.
"It's [going] better than I expected. I expected to be moving at a fast rate, and I definitely am. I'll be looking to make a comeback as soon as possible. I just want to make sure my knee is in a good state."
While it is impossible to get a definitive read on the knee, there is the other update on his conditioning and prep work for the draft: Noel measured at 4.2 percent body fat earlier this week as part of all prospects from U.S. colleges going through physicals, a very good outcome for anyone but particularly a player who isn't able to go through the same training regimen. He measured 6-foot-10 without shoes and 6-11 ¾ with shoes, and 206 pounds.
"There's no risk at all," Noel said of a being chosen first with the uncertainty of a knee injury. "I definitely have the mindset that I'm going to come back from this…. When I get back, I'm going to be the hardest worker I can be and do what I have to do to be the player I want to be and do good things for the team I get drafted by."
Other news, notes and observations as the second and final day in the gym at the pre-draft combine concluded Friday afternoon:
- Rudy Gobert, on the bubble for the lottery, scored points with teams by participating in drills when it has become common for most prospects with a good shot for the middle of the first round to skip the basketball portion of the event to protect draft stock. Front offices are annually frustrated by players ducking the competition. Gobert, a center from France, did not duck. "It shows that somebody's aware," one executive said. "The knock on him is that he doesn't want to compete. Whether he listened to an agent or a coach or decided on his own, it's a good sign that he's here."
- Gobert looked stunned to learn there were doubts about his drive. But he did say he liked the idea of sending the message that he wants to face the top competition to get better after so far spending his entire career in Europe. Gobert also has the "Wow" factor with a wing span of 7-8 ½ and a standing reach of 9-7 in addition to standing 7-2 in shoes, meaning he can at least come close to touching the rim without jumping. His wingspan has been an obvious attribute for a long time, with people often asking him to stand and stretch his arms, just to get a look. One executive, seeing Gobert in person for the first time, said it's a sight just to watch Gobert's reach while standing next to another player. Teams want to fall in love with this guy. He had a disappointing 2012-13 in Europe, but with his potential plus the physical, Gobert easily moves into the lottery if he does anything in the individual workouts. He was No. 16 in the last NBA.com ranking.
- Jeff Withey, center from Kansas, is aware teams like him around the middle of the first round for defense and rebounding, and has been working to improve his mid-range and post game since the end of the season. The result was some positive feedback off drills in the gym.
- Steven Adams, was the big man who impressed the most in that area, showing a mid-range game that didn't get noticed in one season at Pittsburgh. That Adams is expanding his game is especially noteworthy as a relatively inexperienced player, and very inexperienced at a high level of competition, after learning the game in his native New Zealand. He is an aggressive, fluid 7-footer.
- Dennis Schroeder, the German point guard making a late charge up draft boards, has singled out Utah and Milwaukee as preferred destinations on draft night. The disclosure is particularly relevant because the interest may be mutual and both will probably be picking in the right range, with the Jazz at 14 barring a long-shot climb into the top three on lottery night and the Bucks at 15. As Schroeder himself pointed out, the Jazz have the position need as Mo Williams heads into free agency (with a good chance they'd have the need even if Williams wasn't). When asked what he considered the best place to start his NBA career, he mentioned Utah first. Milwaukee is a possibility with Brandon Jennings about to become a free agent. That draft-night decision by the Bucks, if Schroeder is available at 15, will be as much about weighing their future with Jennings as weighing Schroeder. And if they draft one and re-sign the other, it creates trade chips. Schroeder said he has scheduled a work out with the Rockets as well as the Jazz and Bucks. Houston picks 18, though. At this rate, he'll be long gone.
- McLemore-Shabazz Muhammad was once shaping up as the best matchup once individual workouts got underway for the top prospects following the lottery. No more. Now it's Schroeder-Trey Burke, even if Michael Carter-Williams, not Schroeder, remains the second-best prospect among point guards. The warp speed of Schroeder, the tournament-tested experience of Burke, the drive of both – that's a great show.
- One GM, on Tony Mitchell, once a possibility for the lottery but now trying to hold on to a spot in the first round after a difficult season at North Texas: "He's the best athlete here. It's not even close. He's a freak of nature."

I joined the tour to visit east part of Hokkaido, including my birth place "Kushiro". I was excited to visit my home town and around East Hokkaido area. Speaking Hokkaido, it tends to focus of the center part such as Sapporo, Otaru, Furano, Biei. However, if you have a chance to east part there are also many must places to visit. I hope this my tour spread to all over the countries and many people come to east part of Hokkaido!

It's when one person puts their fisted hands on top of eachother to make the pole. Another person then puts their hand on top of "the pole" and makes a flag and waves it. It's used in akward or just randomly to get some laughs. Also done when everyone starts doing different kind of akward things, like the akward turtle, blowjob, moose, etc.
After Johhny made his comment we all started doing different akward things, me and Jamie did the akward flag pole to the amusement of everyone.

Fact Sheet
Seeing an HIV Health Care Provider
Part of HIV and Its Treatment
August 2012
I just tested HIV positive. What should I look for in a health care provider?
Look for a health care provider who has experience treating HIV and AIDS. You may want to see a specialist in HIV.
You need a health care provider with whom you feel comfortable. You will be working closely with your health care provider to make many decisions regarding your treatment.
What can I expect at my first health care provider visit?
Your health care provider will ask you about your health and lifestyle, do a physical exam, and order blood tests. Your health care provider will also discuss what it means to have HIV and how it can affect your life. Your first visit is a good time to ask your health care provider questions.
What questions should I ask my health care provider?
Ask your health care provider about:
Write down your questions so you remember them when you visit your health care provider.
What tests will my health care provider order?
You will have three very important blood tests at your first medical appointment: a CD4 count, a viral load test, and drug-resistance testing.
Your health care provider may also order other tests, such as a blood cell count, kidney and liver function tests, and tests for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and other diseases.
When will I begin HIV treatment?
Starting HIV treatment is a big step. When to begin treatment depends on your health, your test results, and your readiness to take a combination of anti-HIV medications (a regimen) every day. Once you begin taking anti-HIV medications, you will probably need to take them for the rest of your life.
Your health care provider will help you decide if you are ready to start treatment. (See the "When to Start Anti-HIV Medications" fact sheet.) Once you start treatment, your health care provider will help you find ways to stick to your treatment regimen. (See the "Treatment Adherence" and "Following an HIV Treatment Regimen" fact sheets.)
What happens if I don't start treatment right away?
If you don't start treatment right away, you should have a CD4 count and viral load test once every 3 to 6 months. Your health care provider will use the test results to monitor your infection and help you decide when to start treatment.

'Saved by sandwich,' Woman has life saving lunch
A Pennsylvania woman says she's alive because of her sandwich after a truck flipped on its side and landed on her porch.
Ellen Meharey of Tarentum, Pa., said she usually attends church on Sunday and then walks her two dogs, Joey and Bella. But this Sunday she changed up her routine.
"I wanted to get something to eat before I took the dogs out," Meharey said. "I just decided to make a half a sandwich and get something to eat before I went out, and I am so glad I did."
While making that sandwich, Meharey says she heard a screech and then a bang. She looked outside and saw a truck lying on its side in her front yard. The truck scrunched the hood of her car, struck her wheelchair ramp and knocked off her railing.
"I called 911, and I did not know who was in the car, if they were dead or alive," she said. "Or what was going on. I just called 911."
Then, she took a moment to think. She could have been standing in that exact spot with her dogs if it was not for that sandwich.
"I either would have been out in the street, or I would have been just coming down the ramp," said Meharey. "And I would have probably gotten killed."
The driver of the truck was treated at the scene, but was otherwise OK.
As for what type of sandwich Meharey was making...that remains a mystery.

Wembley Stadium (often referred to simply as Wembley, or sometimes as the New Wembley) is a football stadium located in Wembley Park, in the Borough of Brent, London, England. It opened in 2007 and was built on the site of the previous 1923 Wembley Stadium. The earlier Wembley stadium, originally called the Empire Stadium, was often referred to as "The Twin Towers" and was one of the world's most famous football stadiums until its demolition in 2003.[1]
It is a UEFA category four stadium. The 90,000-capacity venue (105,000 combined seating and standing) is the second largest stadium in Europe, and serves as England's national stadium. It is the home venue of the England national football team, and hosts the latter stages of the top level domestic club cup competition, the FA Cup. It is owned by English football's governing body, The Football Association (The FA), through their subsidiary Wembley National Stadium Ltd (WNSL).
Designed by Foster and Partners and HOK Sport (since renamed Populous), it includes a partially retractable roof. A signature feature of the stadium, following on from the old Wembley's distinctive Twin Towers, is the 134 meter high (440 feet) Wembley Arch. With a span of 317 meters (1,040 feet), this steel arch is the longest single-span roof structure in the world and, uniquely for a stadium, requires beacons for low-flying aircraft. The stadium was built by Australian firm Multiplex at a cost of £798 million. The old Wembley closed in October 2000, with demolition originally intended for that December and the new stadium due to open in 2003. After delays to the project, with demolition first started in September 2002, the old Wembley was not completely demolished until February 2003, with the new stadium scheduled to open in time for the 2006 FA Cup Final. After further delays, the stadium was delivered nearly a year late, leading to legal disputes between WNSL and Multiplex, who ultimately made a significant loss on the project. The stadium was handed over on 9 March 2007, in time to host the 2007 FA Cup Final.
In international football, the stadium was a central component of the failed English 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup bids. In 2012 it will host the football finals of the London Olympics. In club football, in addition to the FA Cup the stadium hosts the showpiece season-opening game the FA Community Shield match, played in August between the winners of the FA Cup and the top-level Premier League. In mid-season it also hosts the finals of the Football League Cup and Football League Trophy. At the end of the domestic season, the stadium also hosts the finals of the Football League play-offs. In European football, it hosted the 2011 Champions League Final, and will host the final again in 2013. In friendly tournaments, since 2009 it has been the venue of the summer Wembley Cup. Outside of football, the stadium also hosts major rugby league games, such as the Challenge Cup and International Rugby League. The stadium is also an annual regular season venue for the US National Football League's International Series, the first such venue outside North America. Non-sporting uses include large music concerts such as Concert for Diana, Live Earth and the Summertime Ball.
Wembley was designed by architects Foster + Partners and Populous (known as HOK Sport at the time of the design phase and construction) and with engineers Mott MacDonald, built by Australian company Brookfield Multiplex and funded by Sport England, WNSL (Wembley National Stadium Limited), the Football Association, the Department for Culture Media and Sport and the London Development Agency. It is one of the most expensive stadiums ever built at a cost of £798 million (After MetLife Stadium)[2][3] and has the largest roof-covered seating capacity in the world. Nathaniel Lichfield and Partners was appointed to assist Wembley National Stadium Limited in preparing the scheme for a new stadium and to obtain planning and listed building permission for the development.[4]
The all-seater stadium is based around a bowl design with a capacity of 90,000, protected from the elements by a sliding roof that does not completely enclose it. It can also be adapted as an athletic stadium by erecting a temporary platform over the lowest tier of seating.[5] The stadium's signature feature is a circular section lattice arch of 7 m (23 ft) internal diameter with a 315 m (1,033 ft) span, erected some 22° off true, and rising to 133 m (436 ft). It supports all the weight of the north roof and 60% of the weight of the retractable roof on the southern side.[6] The archway is the world's longest unsupported roof structure.[7] Instead of the 39 steps climbed, in the original stadium, to enter the Royal Box and collect a trophy, there are now 107.[8]
A "platform system" has been designed to convert the stadium for athletics use, but its use would decrease the stadium's capacity to approximately 60,000.[9] No athletics events (track and field) have taken place at the stadium, and none are scheduled. The conversion for athletics use was a condition of part of the lottery funding the stadium received, but to convert it would take weeks of work and cost millions of pounds.[10]
The initial plan for the reconstruction of Wembley was for demolition to begin before Christmas 2000, and for the new stadium to be completed some time during 2003, but this work was delayed by a succession of financial and legal difficulties. In 2004, the London Mayor and Brent Council also announced wider plans for the regeneration of Wembley, taking in the arena and the surrounding areas as well as the stadium, to be implemented over two or three decades.
Delays to the construction project started as far back as 2003. In December 2003, the constructors of the arch, subcontractors Cleveland Bridge, warned Multiplex about rising costs and a delay on the steel job of almost a year due to Multiplex design changes which Multiplex rejected. Cleveland Bridge withdrew from the project and replaced by Dutch firm Hollandia with all the attendant problems of starting over. 2004 also saw errors, most notably a fatal accident involving carpenter Patrick O'Sullivan for which construction firm PC Harrington Contractors were fined £150,000 in relation to breaches of health and safety laws.[11]
In October 2005, Sports Minister Richard Caborn announced: "They say the Cup Final will be there, barring six feet of snow or something like that". By November 2005, WNSL were still hopeful of a handover date of 31 March, in time for the cup final on 13 May. However in December 2005, the builders admitted that there was a "material risk" that the stadium might not be ready in time for the final.[12][13] In February 2006 these worries were confirmed, with the FA moving the game to Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.
On 20 March 2006, a steel rafter in the roof of the new development fell by a foot and a half, forcing 3,000 workers to evacuate the stadium and raising further doubts over the completion date which was already behind schedule.[14] On 23 March 2006, sewers beneath the stadium buckled due to ground movement.[15] GMB Union leader Steve Kelly said that the problem had been caused by the pipes not being properly laid, and that the repair would take months. Rumours circulated that the reason for the blockage was due to Multiplex failing to pay the contractors who laid the pipes who then filled in the pipes with concrete. A spokesman for developers Multiplex said that they did not believe this would "have any impact on the completion of the stadium", which was then scheduled to be completed on 31 March 2006.
On 30 March 2006, the developers announced that Wembley Stadium would not be ready until 2007.[16] All competitions and concerts planned were to be moved to suitable locations. On 19 June 2006 it was announced that the turf had been laid. On 19 October 2006 it was announced that the venue was now set to open in early 2007 after the dispute between The Football Association and Multiplex had finally been settled. WNSL was expected to pay around £36m to Multiplex, on top of the amount of the original fixed-price contract. The total cost of the project (including local transport infrastructure redevelopment and the cost of financing) was estimated to be £1 billion (roughly US$1.97 billion).
Handover and openingEdit
The new stadium was completed and handed over to the FA on 9 March 2007. The official Wembley Stadium website had announced that the stadium would be open for public viewing for local residents of Brent on 3 March 2007, however this was delayed by two weeks and instead happened on 17 March.
While the stadium had hosted football matches since the handover in March, the stadium was officially opened on Saturday 19 May, with the staging of the 2007 FA Cup Final. Eight days before that on Friday 11 May, the Bobby Moore Sculpture had been unveiled by Sir Bobby Charlton outside the stadium entrance, as the "finishing touch" to the completion of the stadium. The twice life-size bronze statue, sculpted by Philip Jackson, depicts England's 1966 World Cup winning captain Bobby Moore, looking down Olympic Way.[17][18][19]
- The stadium contains 2,618 toilets, more than any other venue in the world.[20]
- The stadium has a circumference of 1 km (0.62 mi).[21]
- The bowl volume is listed at 1,139,100 m3, somewhat smaller than the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, but with a greater seating capacity.[22]
- At its peak, there were more than 3,500 construction workers on site.[23]
- 4,000 separate piles form the foundations of the new stadium,[21] the deepest of which is 35 m (115 ft).[21]
- There are 56 km|mi|abbr=on}} of heavy-duty power cables in the stadium.[21]
- 90,000 m3 (120,000 yd3) of concrete and 23,000 tonnes (25,000 short tons) of steel were used in the construction of the new stadium.[21]
- The total length of the escalators is 400 m (¼ mi).[21]
- The Wembley Arch has a cross-sectional diameter greater than that of a cross-channel Eurostar train.[24][25]
The new pitch is 13 feet (4 meters) lower than the previous pitch. The pitch size, as lined for association football, is convert 115 yd (105 m) long by 75 yd (69 m) wide, slightly narrower than the old Wembley, as required by the UEFA stadium categories for a category four stadium, the top category.
Since the completion of the new Wembley, the pitch has come into disrepute since it was described as being "no good" and "not in the condition that Wembley used to be known for" by Slaven Bilić before the game between England and the team he managed, Croatia.[26] It was confirmed when the pitch was terribly cut up during the game, which was blamed by some[27] as the reason England did not qualify for UEFA Euro 2008.[28] The Football Association admitted in April 2009 after the FA Cup semi-finals that improvements are needed to the Wembley pitch after criticism of the surface by Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsène Wenger and David Moyes. The grass has been relaid ten times since the stadium re-opened in 2007 and was relaid again in the summer of 2009, ahead of the 2009 Community Shield.[29][30]
In March 2010, the surface was relaid for the 10th time since 2007, when the stadium was built. In April 2010, the pitch was again criticised following the FA Cup semi-finals, during which the players found it difficult to keep their footing and the surface cut up despite the dry conditions. Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp labelled it a "disgrace" after his side's semi-final defeat to Portsmouth.[31] After the 2010 FA Cup Final, Chelsea captain John Terry said, "The pitch ruined the final. It's probably the worst pitch we've played on all year. It was not good enough for a Wembley pitch."[32] It was relaid with Desso semi-artificial pitch, ahead of the 2010 community shield game between Chelsea and Manchester United. Michael Owen, who previously criticized the pitch for causing him injury, said that it was much improved.[33]
The stadium roof has an area of 40,000 square meters, of which 13,722 m sqaure meters is movable.[22] The primary reason for the sliding roof was to avoid shading the pitch, as grass demands direct sunlight to grow effectively.[34] The sliding roof design minimises the shadow by having the roof pulled back on the east, west and south.[35] Angus Campbell, chief architect, also said that an aim was for the pitch to be in sunlight during the match between the beginning of May and the end of June, between 3 pm and 5 pm, which is when the FA and World cups would be played. However it was mentioned during live commentary of the FA Cup Final in 2007 that the pitch was in partial shade at the start at 3 pm and also during the match.[36]
The stadium roof rises to 52 metres above the pitch and is supported by an arch rising 133 metres above the level of the external concourse. With a span of 315 metres, the arch is the longest single span roof structure in the world.[21]
The Australian firm Multiplex, which was the main contractor on Wembley Stadium, made significant losses on the project.[37][38] In an attempt to recoup some of those losses, the firm has initiated a number of legal cases against its sub-contractors and consultants.[39] The largest of these – the largest legal claim in UK legal history – is a claim for £253 million against the structural engineering consultants Mott Macdonald.[40] In preliminary hearings the two architecture practices which worked for Multiplex on the project have been ordered to allow Multiplex access to their records in order for them to build a case. The practices, Foster + Partners and Populous, estimate the costs of providing access and answering Multiplex's queries at £5 million.[41] The case is not due to be heard until January 2011.[42] Mott Macdonald has issued a counter-claim for unpaid fees of £250,000.[40] The dispute between Multiplex (now known as Brookfield) and Mott Macdonald was settled out of court in June 2010, the judge having warned that costs were likely to be more than £74 million.[43]
Multiplex has also taken the original steel contractor, Cleveland Bridge, to court in order to claim up to £38 million[44] compensation for costs resulting from Cleveland Bridge walking away from the job. Cleveland Bridge, in turn, claimed up to £15 million from Multiplex. The case was finally resolved in September 2008 with Cleveland Bridge ordered to pay £6.1 million in damages and 20% of Multiplex's costs after the court found Cleveland Bridge was in the wrong to walk off site. The judge criticised both sides for allowing the case to reach court, pointing out that total costs were £22 million, including £1 million for photocopying.[45] Multiplex's ultimate bill is estimated to be over £10 million.
Multiplex is also contesting a claim from its concrete contractor, PC Harrington, that Multiplex owes £13.4 million to PC Harrington.[46]
The English national football team is a major user of Wembley Stadium. Given the ownership by The Football Association as of 10 March 2007, the League Cup final moved back to Wembley from Cardiff following the FA Cup final and FA Community Shield. Other showpiece football matches that were previously staged at Wembley, such as the Football League promotion play-offs and the Football League Trophy final, have returned to the stadium, as has the Football Conference play-off final. Additionally, the Rugby League Challenge Cup final returned to Wembley Stadium in 2007. The new Wembley is a significant part of the plan for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London; the stadium will be the site of several games in both the men's and women's football tournaments, with the finals planned to be held there.[47] Additionally, Wembley is one of the 12 2015 Rugby World Cup venues, for which pitch changes will have to be made.
The Race of Champions staged their 2007 and 2008 events at the stadium.
Wembley has had a long association with American Football. A USFL game was staged there in 1984, and between 1986 and 1993 the old Wembley stadium hosted eight NFL exhibition games featuring 13 different NFL teams.[48] Since the new Wembley Stadium opened in 2007 Wembley has hosted games during the NFL regular season. As a result of this, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell stated in October 2009 that "he expects the NFL will start playing multiple regular-season games in Britain in the next few years, an expansion that could lead to putting a franchise in London."[49] In 2012, the league announced that the St. Louis Rams would become a permanent tenant of Wembley Stadium, playing an annual game at the stadium every year from 2012 to 2014; part of the reason the Rams were chosen was the fact that the team is owned by Stan Kroenke, who also is majority shareholder in a local Premier League team, Arsenal.
American footballEdit
On 28 October 2007, the New York Giants defeated the Miami Dolphins by a score of 13–10 in the first NFL regular-season game to be played outside of North America, and first ever to be played in Europe in front of 81,176 fans.[50] The first touchdown scored at Wembley was on a run by quarterback Eli Manning of the New York Giants. In 2011 the Chicago Bears beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24- 18.
Transport connectionsEdit
The stadium is linked to Wembley Park Station on the London Underground via Olympic Way, and Wembley Central via the White Horse Bridge. It also has a rail link provided by the Wembley Stadium railway station to London Marylebone and Birmingham.

Laurel Dean leapfrogged over three swimmers in her heat and one in a faster heat at the Yale University pool. Marisa Matthews earned the final spot at the state open but moved up one spot in the 50 freestyle standings. On Saturday, Nov. 16, the Lady Knight swimming season came to an end at the state open championships, and it was a fitting end to their breakout season.
"They all swam well. We didn't have best times today, but we had a number of best times at the Class LL finals," said Southington coach Evan Tuttle. "You just have to compare them with those girls that they swam against in their heats. Marisa picked off an individual in the 50 freestyle, and Laurel picked off four people in the breaststroke. I'm happy with what we were able to do today, and I think that they are, too. Our goal at the beginning of the season was to be here, and they were here in force."
In total, the Knights were able to claw their way to the state open in three different events, and that's the largest number of swimmers at the championship meet in more than a decade. Twice in recent years, the boys team has qualified for four events. Now, the girls have closed the gap.
"They've done something that hasn't been achieved in a long time," said Tuttle. "To have two individuals and a relay at the state open? That's a tremendous feat and hopefully this is our standard for years to come."
It didn't happen by accident. In fact, the state open competition was the icing on the cake after a Cinderella run through the Class LL championships. On Tuesday, Nov. 12, Southington clawed their way into the top 10 at the division finals with a trio of school records and one Lady Knight climbing the podium with a top 6 finish. Greenwich captured the overall team title with 804.5 points. Amity (513) edged Glastonbury (500.5) for second place, but Southington scored 215 points to claim 10th overall.
"Performing well doesn't quite describe what they were able to do," said Tuttle. "They did absolutely everything that I asked from them to put themselves in position to make opens on Saturday."
Matthews just missed a medal in the 50 freestyle with a new Lady Knight record (25.37), but it was fast enough to clinch a state open berth. Matthews went on to earn a medal in the 100 breaststroke (1:09.79) with a new personal best time, but didn't advance to the opens.
Laurel Dean wasn't qualified for the medal heat in the breaststroke, but the senior co-captain actually finished faster than Matthews to set a new school record (1:09.3) and claim a berth in the state open.
"That just shows how deep we are," said Tuttle. "Laurel had an off-day at the qualifying meet. She was a little tight and wasn't quite feeling it, but if there's one person that can fight through it that's Laurel. She was still hurt. She was still sore and exhausted, but she pushed through it to finish with the fifth best time."
Dean and Matthews teamed up with Aly Baribault and Bailey Potter to claim a third school record with a ninth place finish in the 200 freestyle relay (1:44.67), and that was fast enough to claim Southington's final spot in the state open competition. The team shaved more than four seconds off their previous best to set the new program record.
"I thought an ambitious mark would have been 1:45.5 to hopefully get us that last spot into opens, but even that was a stretch," said Tuttle. "For a sprint event, they pretty much demolished their time. All four individuals had to take almost a full second off their time in a 50 sprint, and that's unheard of. They finished first in that second heat, and their time beat a team from the first heat as well. That doesn't show up on the standings, but they finished almost 1.5 seconds faster than the previous record that was set two years ago. That's a tremendous accomplishment."
Up and down the lineup, Southington set personal bests at the Class LL finals. Allie Schroeder, Bethany Greenlaw, Sam Sagnella, and Kristen Loose trimmed more than a second off their qualifying time in the 200 medley relay (2:06.19). Dean, Schroeder, Baribault, and Matthews trimmed more than four seconds off their time in the 400 freestyle relay (3:53.71). Baribault trimmed almost 7.5 seconds off her previous best in the 500 freestyle (5:33.4) and half a second in the breaststroke (1:10.95).
The Lady Knights trimmed time from their qualifying score in every race but one.
"That's what you expect when you go into that meet, and that's what the girls expected," said Tuttle. "I don't want to say surprised me, because nothing that they do surprises me any more. The times they turned in—Aly in the 500m, Laurel in the 100 breaststroke, and that 200 free relay—were quite special."

Medal Round; Swimmers claw their way to 3 school records, a Class LL medal, and the state open

Connecticut school shooting leaves 20 kids dead
Six others are killed at elementary; gunman shoots mother and himself
NEWTOWN, Conn. — A man opened fire Friday inside two classrooms at Sandy Hook Elementary School, where his mother was a teacher, killing 26 people, including 20 children, as youngsters cowered in corners and closets and trembled helplessly to the sound of shots reverberating through the building.
The 20-year-old killer, carrying two handguns, committed suicide at the school, and another person was found dead at a second scene, bringing the toll to 28, authorities said.
During a news conference, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said "evil" visited the state Friday. President Barack Obama paused, choking up, during an address to the country about the shooting. A source says Obama will be visiting Newtown on Saturday.
The Associated Press has identified the shooter as Adam Lanza, 20.
CNN originally identified the shooter as Adam Lanza's brother, Ryan Lanza, 24, a Hoboken, N.J., resident. The AP said Ryan Lanza is being questioned by police in the investigation.
A Facebook page belonging to Ryan Lanza has been taken down. Before it was deleted, Lanza posted on the page and said he wasn't the shooter.
The AP said a police source transposed the names of the brothers, leading to the incorrect info being released.
State police haven't released the shooter's name.
Police in Sandy Hook are at a house on Yogananda Street and have surrounded it with yellow tape. The house is owned by Lanza's mother, Nancy, according to public records. Sources said Nancy Lanza was a teacher at Sandy Hook.
Two victims have been identified, school principal Dawn Lafferty Hochsprung and school psychologist Mary Sherlach.
Hochsprung is being credited with helping to save others by activating the school's public address system during the initial flurry of bullets, according to a law enforcement source.
Hochsprung was a smart, positive, enthusiastic educator, said Danbury Deputy superintendent William Glass.
Glass received confirmation Friday that Hochsprung was killed in the shooting at her school.
"She had a tremendous intellect and a wonderful way with children," he said.
"It would not be unusual to see her down on the floor working side by side with students."
She had a wonderful sense of humor and was always smiling.
"That was her trademark," he said." She was an amazing educator. She was everything you would want."
Sherlach, 56, had worked at the school for nearly 20 years, taking her position in 1994.
Former school superintendent John Reed, who knew Sherlock well, praised her for her dedication, warmth and intelligence.
"If there ever was a person, who by qualifications and personality, was made to work with children, to be a school psychologist, it was Mary,'' Reed
A woman who lives near the Lanza family said Adam Lanza, the alleged shooter, was a "reserved" and shy youth who appeared to be "troubled."
"His mother would always say how smart he was," said Beth Israel, who lives in the neighborhood and whose daughter was friends with Lanza while both attended elementary school.
Lanza's parents, Nancy and Peter Lanza, were divorced in 2009 after 28 years of marriage due to "irreconcilable differences," according to court documents.
State and local police blocked off the neighborhood surrounding a house in Newtown Friday on Yogananda Street that local property records state is owned by Nancy Lanza. According to public records, Adam Lanza also lived in the home.
While State Police spokesman Lt. Paul Vance confirmed there was one fatality in a different location other than the school, he declined to identify the victim, but sources indicated it was Nancy Lanza.
The officials cited by the Associated Press said Adam Lanza drove to the school in his mother's car and three guns were found at the scene. Two handguns, a Glock and a Sig Sauer were found inside the school, the officials said, while a .223-caliber rifle was recovered from the back of car in the school parking lot.
An apartment on Grand Street in Hoboken, where Ryan Lanza lives, was blocked off with police tape. The FBI was on scene and took a computer out of the apartment.
First grade teacher Kaitlyn Roig told ABC that she rushed 15 kids into a bathroom and barricaded the door to keep them safe after the shooting erupted.
"Suddenly, I heard rapid fire... like an assault weapon. I knew something was wrong," Roig, 29, told anchor Diane Sawyer on Friday.
"It was horrific," she said. "I didn't think we were going to live.
"I put one of my students on top of the toilet. I just knew we had to get in there. I just kept telling them 'It's going be OK, you're gonna be all right. I had pulled a bookshelf over before I closed the door so we were completely barricaded in,'" Roig said.
Mergim Bajraliu, 17, a student at Newtown High School says that he and his mother, Alberta, drove to the high school shortly after receiving a frantic call from one of their neighbors. The woman on the other end of the phone reported hearing what she described as a shotgun blast coming from the school. Bajraliu's 9-year-old sister, Venesa, is a fourth-grader at the school.
They said they saw a police officer carrying the limp body of a young girl who resembled Venesa and Bajraliu said she feared the worst.
Another girl walked by several minutes later, with "blood from the other people in the shooting," Bajraliu said.
A parent who picked up their child at the school reported that children were advised by a fireman to close their eyes and run past the office, where the shooting reportedly occurred during an administrators meeting.
At Danbury Hospital, officials were reluctant to give out any specific information, saying only that three victims had been brought there around 10 a.m., within five minutes of one another.
During a press briefing late Friday afternoon, John Murphy, president and CEO of Western Connecticut Health Network, said the hospital had been expecting to receive many more injured people. But the injured people never arrived, presumably because they had died before getting to the hospital.
Bridgeport Hospital spokesman John Cappiello said one woman was brought to the hospital from the shooting. Her injuries are not considered life-threatening, he said.
Murphy said the hospital has been offering support to families and witnesses within the community. To reach Danbury's crisis intervention services, call 203-739-7007.

what do you do when you use off-ball on the low post or you battle for position for a rebound with animation? defenders box you out or defend you making you stuck with him and you can't move anywhere.

JOLIET, Ill. — Facing the biggest credibility crisis in its long history, NASCAR issued a stern warning to its drivers and teams Saturday and said it won't tolerate any more attempts to alter the outcome of races.
JOLIET, Ill. — Facing the biggest credibility crisis in its long history, NASCAR issued a stern warning to its drivers and teams Saturday and said it won't tolerate any more attempts to alter the outcome of races.
After a scandal-filled week spent investigating teams and undoing attempts to manipulate its championship field, NASCAR came forward with a series of rules that will change the way teams have called races for years.
NASCAR Chairman Brian France told teams he expects them "to give 100 percent" at all times, meeting with them for nearly 20 minutes at Chicagoland Speedway on the eve of the opening race of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
"I think we wanted to be very clear and we wanted to reinforce the cornerstone of NASCAR, which is giving your all," France said. "We addressed team rules, a variety of other things, all designed to do what our fans expect, and that means that their driver and their team give 100 percent to finish as high up in a given race as possible. We were very clear about that. That's our expectations."
The warning came after an unprecedented week for NASCAR, which has been rocked by allegations of race-fixing since Clint Bowyer spun his car with seven laps remaining last Saturday night at Richmond, the race that completed the 12-driver field for the Chase.
NASCAR was forced to investigate when it became clear that Bowyer spun in an attempt to stop leader Ryan Newman from winning and give teammate Martin Truex Jr. one last chance to earn a Chase berth. The investigation uncovered at least three instances of race manipulations and led to severe sanctions against Michael Waltrip Racing and the removal of unwitting participant Truex from the Chase in favor of Newman.
The central piece of evidence was radio communications, and the penalties against MWR set off a chain of events NASCAR never anticipated.
Next came allegations of a scheme to sell track position and it triggered a new investigation involving deep-pocketed Penske Racing and tiny Front Row Motorsports.
It culminated Friday with France's stunning decision to expand the Chase field to 13 drivers to accommodate Jeff Gordon, who had been bumped out of the Chase by the shenanigans of three drivers. Gordon was pleased with the ruling, but uncomfortable with the way the week developed.
"The integrity of the sport has been put at question," Gordon admitted. "I think we have one of the greatest sports that exists. To see our integrity questioned is very upsetting to me, and I think we, along with NASCAR, have to solve this. I wish it had not happened under these circumstances."
NASCAR ultimately decided it couldn't prove Bowyer spun on purpose, but did find that MWR manipulated the race to help Truex by having Bowyer and Brian Vickers pit late in the race. The idea was that Joey Logano would bump Gordon out of a Chase spot, and Truex would get in through a wild card.
But in singling out the MWR cars for pitting to help Truex, NASCAR threw into question the long-accepted practice of deal-making between teams. That brought to light a late race conversation between Front Row team members, who were willing to have David Gilliland move aside for Logano in exchange for something it had previously asked for from Penske Racing. When told to relay that information to Logano's spotter, the crew chief is told the request for track position is coming from the "whole committee."
"We've got the big dog and all of his cronies," the spotter said in an apparent reference to team owner Roger Penske and other team employees.
NASCAR has tightened many of the areas that allowed the manipulations to occur in a series of new rules that were outlined for the teams and will begin Sunday. Among them:
• No more deals, no offering a position in exchange for a favor or material benefit, no altering the finish, no intentionally causing a caution, no intentionally pitting to gain advantage for another competitor or intentionally wrecking another competitor. The list of things not allowed is a work in progress, NASCAR President Mike Helton said. Penalties can include suspension.
• Only one spotter per team will be allowed on the spotter stand. It means Roger Penske can no longer watch the race from his preferred perch on the roof, and NASCAR will install a camera atop every roof to monitor things.
•Digital radios are now banned on the spotter stand, meaning spotters can no longer communicate on a private channel with a team. Spotters will also be limited to two analog radios, scanners and a handheld fan device. All communications from the spotter stand to the team can be monitored by the public.
• NASCAR said it will address new restart rules Sunday. Some drivers have complained about inconsistency on how restarts have been policed all season, and fans complained winner Carl Edwards jumped early last week past leader Paul Menard. It's been overshadowed in the Chase controversy, and will apparently be addressed before Sunday's race.
Gordon had hoped the meeting would lead to positive changes for the sport.
"This has probably been coming for a couple years now and needed to change sooner," Gordon said. "I like the fact that some things are going to change because all we all want to do is race our guts out every single lap. None of us want to go out there and give up a spot or race somebody different because our teammate is running for a championship."
France said he didn't speak to any drivers after the meeting, but sensed a redefining of the rules was overdue.
"This is what they want. They want to have clarity and they don't like team rules, and they don't like some of the things that have gone on in the past," France said. "They're never pleased when we call them to a meeting. But I also believe that they understand what we want to get back to — it's to not worry about anything but winning races and doing your best."
Paul Wolfe, crew chief for defending series champion Brad Keselowski, said NASCAR was clear in its meeting.
"I think it got everyone's attention," Wolfe said. "I think everyone should have a pretty clear understanding ... if you go out there and run 100 percent to your ability and run a normal race, then everything will be fine."
Seven-time champion and Hall of Famer Richard Petty believes none of the events at Richmond differed from what occurred a week earlier at Atlanta. But because of the stakes — 10 drivers vying for five Chase berths — he said the actions of a few were magnified and NASCAR had to act.
"If it had happened at Atlanta, nobody would have paid any attention to it," Petty said. "But, it was a perfect storm (at Richmond). That's what makes such a big deal out of it."
For NASCAR, the next step is getting back on track Sunday and putting on a good, clean race.
"Circumstances happen that are unhelpful in the credibility category, there's no doubt about that," France said. "You go back to what you're about, and what we're about is the best racing in the world with the best drivers giving 100 percent of their ability."
