Attention CWU Staff and Faculty that are CWU Alumni
In concert with Alumni Affairs Office we are providing a reception for all alumni that are attending each Discover Orientation. On average we have over 30+ alumni that attend orientation each session. This is exciting as they are with their student as a legacy of CWU. During this reception we will provide a place to gather, reminisce, get connected to CWU again and give alumni materials to these folks.
We are needing your help to attend these receptions as a welcome body of alumni to meet and greet and provide the opportunity to network and reminisce about their days of CWU and where CWU is now.
We can't think of a better group of folks to help make this happen. If you have ever wondered "how is a way to give back to CWU Alumni?" this is a great way. We hope you are able to attend any one of these receptions. If you would please let us know by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com of your participation by June 14, this will help with our planning in every way.
Each orientation on Day I (July 1, 8, 11, 15, 18) from 11:15-Noon in SURC 301

United Nations officials on Monday reacted to the latest leaks about U.S. National Security Agency spying with a reminder to the Obama administration of its legal obligation to respect the "inviolability" of diplomatic missions on U.S. soil.
The German news magazine Der Spiegel reported over the weekend that the NSA, already under fire for reported intelligence gathering on private phone calls and emails around the world, had also infiltrated the U.N. video-conferencing network to eavesdrop on diplomatic missions in New York.
U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and other officials are "aware of the reports and intend to be in touch with the relevant authorities," spokesman Farhan Haq told reporters at the daily news briefing at U.N. headquarters.
The United States, as host country for the United Nations and its member delegations, is obliged by "well-established international law" to respect the privacy and sovereignty of national and multinational missions, Haq said.

Nashville, Tenn. - Tennessee State softball returned home to change their fortunes as they hosted the Tiger Invitational. TSU could only find more heartache as they continue to search for offensive production. Morgan State stunned the Tigers 3-0 in game one, while Bradley got the better of the Big Blue 5-2 in the final game of the night.
TSU is now 0-9 on the season, as Morgan State improved to 1-7 and Bradley moved to 6-6.
Junior Ashley Haynes finished the day 3-for-3 with a triple, two walks and a sacrifice bunt. Haynes increased her average to a team high .333.
Pitcher's Shea Morris and Olivia Gamache each had solid performances on Saturday. Morris was tagged with the loss in game one and is now 0-5. Morris surrendered just five hits and two earned runs, while fanning nine Bears. Gamache dropped to 0-4 in an outing where she allowed just one earned run.
In game two, TSU managed to tie the game at 2-2 in the bottom of the fourth. Bradley wasted no time getting the lead back with a run in the top of the fifth and added to their lead with two more in the sixth.
The Tigers used hits by Tedra Alford, Tayler Shimizu and Jennifer Givens in the bottom of the seventh setting up an opportunity to get back in the game. Bradley pitcher Mackenzie Camp capped the win for her team, recording her ninth strikeout to end the game.
Freshmen Kacie Daugherty and Kiarra Freeman picked up hits in the first game of the day. Daugherty extended her hit streak to five games, but the streak came to an end during a 0-for-2 performance in the nightcap.
The Tiger Invitational will continue on Sunday with games beginning at 9:30 am. The Tigers will take to the field at 3:30 pm vs. IUPUI and will close out the tournament with a matchup against Butler at 5:30 pm. Audio broadcast of Tiger games can be heard on tsutigers.com.

Six former employees now work at KEYW Corp.
Exelis and one of its subsidiaries has filed a $45 million lawsuit against six of its former employees and KEYW Corp. for conspiring to steal trade secrets, FedBiz Daily is reporting.
The former employees allegedly shared bidding and pricing information via e-mail to KEYW, their current employer, giving KEYW an unfair advantage in a competition with Exelis. The suit cites that the employees detailed a plan to transition intellectual property of Exelis' subsidiary, EVI Technology LLC, to KEYW over the course of 12 to 18 months, FedBiz Daily reported.
Among the shared information were specific customer agencies, task orders, programs and projects that the former employees allegedly intended to capture for KEYW in 2013 and early 2014. The e-mail was said to also identify 27 Exelis employees who could help the transition, 23 of which now work at KEYW, FedBiz Daily said.

Eustratius Garidas, (Greek: Εὐστράτιος Γαριδᾶς), was Patriarch of Constantinople from 1081 to 1084.
Little is known of the life of Eustratius. He was a monk and eunuch who was a favorite of Anna Dalassena, the "mother of the Comneni". In 1081, after Anna Dalassena's son Alexius I Comnenus became emperor, Eustratius became patriarch after the sitting patriarch, Patr. Cosmas I, had crowned Alexius' wife Irene Augusta and then resigned.
During his short tenure as patriarch Eustratius protected John Italus, a philosopher associated with the emperor's court whose teaching about the transmigration of souls was considered erroneous and had been condemned by Eustratius' predecessor Patr. Cosmas. Eustratius' involvement in this case cost him the patriarchal throne in July 1084.

One call. Red does it all! 302-629-3001
Ocean City, MD Rooter Service
If roots are choking your sewer pipes, call Peninsula. Peninsula provides expert service to get rid of root clogs in homes and businesses all over Ocean City, Maryland. Contact us to schedule a service call right away.
How Do Roots Get In Sewer Lines?
As plants and trees grow, their roots spread out in search of water and minerals. The moisture in sewer lines and pipes attracts these roots, which can grow into even the tiniest hairline cracks. As the roots branch out, so does your problem! Roots in sewer and wastewater pipelines can cause major backups and clogs, as they trap material that should be flowing through the pipes. Older homes and buildings are more susceptible to root blockage because their aging pipes are often made from cast iron, clay tile, or an asphalt composite, and the ground beneath has had more time to shift and contract.
Frequent clogs, slow drains, and overflows in the sinks and toilets in your home may indicate that you have a sewer root problem.
If you suspect tree roots in your sewer lines in Ocean City, MD, call us at 302-629-3001302-629-3001.
How Does Root Removal Work?
We start every rooter service with an inspection of the problem areas. Then, in most cases, our service technician will use a mechanical auger to cut through and remove the roots in the drain. However, this only takes care of the symptoms. In order to stop roots from growing back into your sewer lines, we will kill them with a chemical agent. The chemical process will not harm your pipes, nor will it kill your trees.
Depending on the age and condition of your pipes, we may recommend removing them and replacing them with plastic pipes, which have joints that are impervious to roots.
How Can I Prevent Sewer Root Problems?
Before starting a landscape project at your home, call the national "Call Before You Dig" hotline at 811 to get the location of your underground utility lines. This will help you design your landscaping around your sewer pipes and other utilities. You can also spread slow-release chemicals, like copper sulfate and potassium hydroxide, along the sewer line to prevent roots from growing into the pipes.
We recommend that you have your sewer lines inspected annually to get ahead of any root growth before it gets serious.
Contact Peninsula today for rooter service in Ocean City, MD.

Online commerce giant, eBay, recently asked users to change their passwords after hackers stole encrypted passwords and other personal information, including names, e-mail addresses, physical addresses, phone numbers and dates of birth.
The data breach occurred between late February and early March 2014, according to a press statement posted on the company's website.
The company stated that Cyberattackers compromised a small number of employee log-in credentials, allowing unauthorized access to eBay's corporate network. The company is currently working with law enforcement and security experts to investigate the breach and has not noticed any fraudulent activity related to the incident. eBay discovered the breach in early May, meaning it went unnoticed for about a month. The company spent a few weeks investigating the incident before disclosing it to the public.
Here's what you need to know:
- The company is asking all of its 145 million active users to change their passwords as a "precautionary measure," but is not sure how many accounts were compromised in the breach.
- No financial information, including credit card numbers, were stolen.
- Paypal information was also safe because it was encrypted and stored on a different network.
- Users that use their eBay password elsewhere should immediately go change that password on other sites – especially their e-mail.
It is important that users heed eBay's request to change their passwords because the hackers may eventually be able to break the encryption that secures them.

YOUR WINNER for 12/2/10:
This thread will contain SPOILERS!!! And lots of them. If you haven't read this week's comics yet, go read them before continuing into this thread, or risk being spoiled!
PLEASE NOTE!!!!!! Remember to include the title and issue number of the comic you are nominating. Otherwise I will be forced to disqualify your nomination, and nobody wants that!
The Rules:
1. Each nomination must be a moment in a comic released the week of the thread. This does not include weekly previews, trade paperbacks, or back issue digests.
2. Everyone can make ONE nomination. You can either nominate a moment yourself or second/third/fourth/fifth an already existing nomination. However, second/third/fourth/fifth will not count per nominating and thus earn entry above in Top Nominations. You want in that list you must nominate something.
3. It must be an actual moment involving the actions or statements of a comic character in an issue. No "This writer returns to the series", "this artist draws this character", "the book is better", etc.
4. If you want to change your nomination, there are a few factors involved:
---> A) No one can have seconded your nom.
---> B) If it is clear for you to change your nom, you must edit your original post or the new post will be disqualified as being a double nomination.
---> C) You can change your second, third, etc. by editing your original post before the nomination period ends.
Moments on the poll do not have to be seconded. If there is room in the poll, moments that were nominated but not seconded will be added based on the order they were nominated.
6. Again, please be specific on the comic title, issue number and moment. Also be clear that you are actually nominating or seconding something ... statements such as "Yeah, that was a cool moment" aren't clear. You must nominate a single moment in the comic and can't nominate the whole issue. Once more, if you don't include the issue and number the moment will not be included.
7. The thread for nominations will go up on Wednesday (new comic day) at 11:00 PM (Central) or when Zechs arrives later that night and posts in the previous week thread announcing voting is closed. The nominations will go until 2:00 PM (Central Time) Sunday Afternoon, or whenever Zechs arrives and will post in the thread stating, "It's over." and will start the poll. If a new comic day falls on a holiday week in American, then the thread will be made for that day (be it Tuesday or Thursday). Regardless, nominations will STILL conclude on Saturday deadline.
8. Please be civil when commenting on other people's nominations. But feel free to discuss them in this thread.
9. In case there is debate on WHEN exactly a title came out, http://www.midtowncomics.com" target="_blank" target="_blank or the official websites of said publishers (be it Marvel, DC, Darkhorse, etc.) will be the final word on the quarrel.
10. Any nominations not following the above rules will be disqualified. Unless of course if Zechs, who is feeling sad for the person who missed the rule and might give them time to provide the correction. Then he will pester Starlord into putting the nomination in the poll. Of course this wouldn't be a problem if Zechs wasn't granted the glorious powers of a moderator, which one day such power will be Zechs, oh yes they will his.
11. If at five nominations are not made, Zechs will choose some, but they will all count as one nomination, not multiple thus making sure balance is preserved.
12. AKA the Rulk rule. If several moments are tied past the deadline of 11:00 PM (Central Time) Wednesday (or holiday date when new comics arrive in the US) or when Zechs arrives that night, then voting will continue on in sudden death for eight more hours, until one is decided. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE. If one isn't still decided, then Zechs will provide the deciding vote regardless if he has voted already.
Only ONE can rule as the Moment of the Week!

I have come across a couple postings from different companies like Kaplan looking for law school students to sit at a desk one hour a week to give out info about bar prep courses and materials. They are totally commission based jobs basically, though they also promise free bar exam materials.Has anyone done this? Known someone who has? Any feedback?Thanks!

If you haven't read Wild by Cheryl Strayed yet, get yourself to your Kindle stat! I promise you'll breeze right through it. I can't tell you enough how special this memoir is…and I don't even really like outdoorsy things. It's one of the most inspiring stories I've ever read. We'll actually be discussing it tonight at book club (what a novel concept!) and I can't wait to hear what my friends thought about it.
Side note, Anthropologie has some beautiful scarves right now! Like this explorer scarf above or this one I bought this weekend. Perfect for my much-anticipated summer to fall transition.

Blizzard has hit the reset button on their unannounced upcoming MMORPG project, reports GamesBeat, citing "a source familiar with the matter," who tells them the game codenamed "Titan" should not be expected before 2016. They say the team developing the game has been reduced from 100 to 30, with 70 developers assigned to other projects while the core team starts over on the game. This is unconfirmed at this point, as Blizzard has not yet responded to their request for a comment.

Cinching the Competition
From left to right: team members Ivan Gonzalez-Gimenez and Ryan Miller, Dr. Gerald Hills, Zachary Saigh, Mark Harbaugh and Scott Harbaugh
By Frank Radosevich II
April 24, 2012
With more electronic devices demanding more power, keeping them charged and portable is a growing concern for businesses and users.
"Battery life is number one," said Ryan Miller, a senior in mechanical engineering and business administration. "Mobile devices are going to stay mobile."
This challenge drove a three-student team to build a prototype belt that users wear to charge cellphones and possibly other mobile devices. The first-generation E.E.L. (Enclosed Electric Loop) belt weighs roughly 5 pounds and would retail for about $69.95, giving clients a safe, small and rugged way to stay plugged in.
The team, Liveable Tech, which includes Miller, seniors Ivan Gonzalez-Gimenez and Zachary Saigh, and their battery-charging belt took first prize at the 6th annual Project Springboard Business Plan Competition.
Project Springboard provides real-life experience in developing business plans created by Bradley students. This project encourages students to work together across disciplines to become budding entrepreneurs in the formation, start up and early growth stages of promising businesses.
"The Springboard competition fits perfectly with Bradley's mission of experiential learning," said Dr. David Glassman, provost and vice president for academic affairs, who helped judge the competition. "These students are working outside of the classroom, using the tools they learned in the classroom, to present opportunities to move forward in business in an extraordinary way."
Valued at more than $100,000, the first place prize includes a $7,500 cash prize, underwritten by Ditch Witch Midwest/The Harbaugh Family, consulting services from Junction Ventures; office space at the Peoria Next Innovation Center; marketing consultation from Converse Marketing; insurance advice from Coyle Insurance; legal services from Elias, Meginnes, Riffle and Seghetti, P.C., and accounting and technology services from CliftonLarsonAllen, LLP.
Six teams competed in the final round of this year's Springboard contest. Apptix, which aims to design and program online applications for local businesses to reach customers on their mobile devices, took second place in the competition, winning $4,000. Third place and $2,500 went to Dress to Impress for Less, which hopes to sell second-hand, gently-used business attire to young professionals from a storefront near Bradley's campus.
The finalist teams were selected from a pool of more than 20 groups who submitted their business plans in the fall. Many of the finalists said they would pursue their ventures even if they did not win the competition.
"In the fall, we started with 22 teams that had an idea with hopes and aspiration to be that number one," said Amy Fairfield Doering, director of Project Springboard. "They all have done a good job getting here and I believe that they will someday be successful entrepreneurs."
The competition, open to Bradley students in all majors, was established in spring 2007 as a result of a $200,000 gift from Alexis Khazzam of Junction Ventures LLC to the University. Khazzam said more than 200 local jobs have been created since 2006 thanks to the ideas generated from the project.

After a nearly 70-year absence, wolves have returned to the North Cascades.
A report released this week by the Oregon Depart of Fish and Wildlife states that in December of last year, a single wolf was documented in the White River Unit — a swath of territory that runs east of Highway 35 to Highway 197, bound by the Columbia River to the north and the Warm Springs Indian Reservation to the south.
Robert Klavins, wildlife advocate for conservation group Oregon Wild, says that according to ODFW Wolf Program Coordinator Russ Morgan, wolf tracks were discovered by a private citizen in the snow in the Mount Hood National Forest last December and were reported to ODFW. Morgan was contacted for this story, but had not returned the call as of press time.
It is not known whether the wolf is part of a pack, whether it is male or female, or if it is a resident or transient wolf. Still, Klavins says the tracks are an encouraging sign that the endangered species is slowly, but steadily, making a comeback.
"Generally, it's good news," he said of the report. "The wolf populations are growing."
Klavins reported the wolf is only the second confirmed presence of the species in the Cascade Range since 1947. Another wolf, OR-7, also known as "Journey," has been spotted the last couple years hanging out in the southern Oregon Cascades, but hasn't been seen this far north in the mountain range. According to the report, only 64 wolves are currently known to exist in the state — almost all reside in the northeast corner — and Klavins noted that "a quarter of those are pups less than a year old."
So why is the recovery of the wolf noteworthy? For one, Klavins says wolves are important for ecological balance and the control of elk and other animal populations. Evidence has shown when elk populations are controlled, less riparian ash and willow trees are eaten, which can provide more habitat for beavers and songbirds. And in monetary terms, Klavins notes wolves have been big business in Yellowstone National Park, where tourists flock to catch a glimpse of the silver-maned predator.
Moreover, Klavins added that wolves simply are "a native species that have a right to be on the landscape."
However, Oregon has only recently welcomed the return of the wolf. For most of the Beaver State's existence, the wolves have quite literally been the targets of many who fear what the animals will do when they come in contact with livestock, pets, or even their families. Klavins said the very first legislative session in Oregon's history was held, in part, to address the "problem of marauding wolves."
The problem was solved by hunting wolves nearly into oblivion, but Klavins mentions that fears over wolves wantonly killing livestock are somewhat misplaced.
"Conflict isn't automatic," he explained. "It doesn't have to be that way. If [wolves] have a stable prey base and they're not being shot, they're okay."
According to Klavins, livestock is far more susceptible falling prey to automobile collisions and thieves than wolves, but livestock predation does occur. ODFW's report shows that wolves killed six sheep, five cows, and one goat and injured seven other animals last year. The state has a compensation program, though, and paid out over $16,000 last year to those who had animals that either died, were injured, or went missing due to wolves — all in the northeast part of the state.
As wolf populations continue to rise, Klavins says it's important for the state to continue managing the complex dynamic between human and wolf — to ensure both wolf and livestock owners are protected and able to coexist. So far, he said, Oregon is doing it right, and is a leader in wolf management practices in western states.
"We're doing the best we can," Klavins said, "and we're doing it better than anybody else."

I'll let you in on a secret: Black Friday ads are online!
An old tradition on Thanksgiving morning in my extended family has been to gather around a fat newspaper loaded with Black Friday ads and plot and conspire about where and when to go to get the bargains. It is only relatively recent history that stores started Black Friday at a minute after midnight or at four in the morning; prior to these insane opening times, most major stores opened at seven or eight a.m., a more civilized time to commence the fray. Now, some stores eager to catch the early shoppers, dangle the bait of starting Black Friday on Wednesday, or even on the sacrosanct Thanksgiving day.
Typically I chose to stay home as my wife and daughters joined the crowds, noise and excitement of reeling in the bargain priced goods. Now, due to the ubiquity of the Internet, on Thanksgiving day much of my family no longer gathers on the living room floor to peruse the Black Friday ads as we have already seen the ads for our favorite stores; almost all have already been "leaked" (surreptitiously or intentionally) and are available to view online.
In marketing circles, there is often a need to create a "buzz" or interest in an upcoming sales event. While some retailers have been known to take legal action against websites that have posted their Black Friday ads prior to their authorized release on Thanksgiving morning (many big city "early edition" Thursday newspapers are actually on the newsstands on Wednesday afternoon), others have found great benefit in the increased viewing of their ads. Some retailers have intentionally leaked sham ads to mislead competitors, but the majority of the leaked Black Friday ads posted online appear to be reasonably accurate. With these online ads being available long in advance of Black Friday, it is much easier to plan our shopping tactics. In my family it is now tactically decided in advance who will go to which store and attempt to buy what.
In my experience, I have found several of the reputable shopping information websites that have always seemed to have comprehensive and reliable directories of Black Friday ads, sometimes sorted by product genre or type, as well as by retailer. My first choice site to find Black Friday ads and bargains online from local retailers is Dealnews (dealnews.com/black-friday). Dealnews offers a comprehensive list of local retailers along with any Black Friday ads that are already available, and the projected availability dates for those not yet available. For those seeking particular products that might be available at bargain prices on Black Friday, Dealnews also offers a directory of Black Friday deals sorted by category. Some examples of the categories of merchandise that can be displayed include automotive, clothing, computers of all types, electronics, toys and games, health and beauty items, home and garden, entertainment and educational merchandise, office supplies, phones of all types, sporting goods, tools and hardware, and televisions. By selecting a category and then a particular item, the user will see the retailers who have those desired items on sale for bargain prices.
As an experiment, I clicked on the "rumored" Black Friday ad for Gander Mountain, with Dealnews indicating that there will (possibly) be 258 items on Black Friday sale at Gander Mountain. Dealnews displays the "supposed" Gander Mountain Black Friday ad as a 13 page long display of thumbnail images and descriptions or as an organized directory by category or type of merchandise. As an example of a Dealnews listing, Gander Mountain items are viewable by categories with the number of items in each category, including Men's Apparel (65), Guns & Ammo (62) and others.
Other local brick and mortar stores that currently have their Black Friday ads posted on Dealnews, or an expected date of release of the ads, include Academy, Ace Hardware, Best Buy, Burlington Coat Factory, CVS, Dollar General, GameStop, Harbor Freight Tools, JC Penney, Jo-Ann, Kohl's, Lowe's, Macy's, Office Depot, PetSmart, Radio Shack, Sam's, Sprint, Stein Mart, Target, Toys R Us, Tractor Supply, True Value, Victoria's Secret, Walgreens, Walmart, and Zale's. Many other stores are listed that are not local here including AAFES, Cabela's, Bass Pro Shops, Costco, K Mart, Fry's Electronics, Office Max, Staples, Tanger Outlets and others.
For those with an Android or iOS (Apple) smart phone or tablets, Dealnews is offering a free "Black Friday App (that) lets you browse "leaked" ads from over 60 major retailers." (dealnews.com/apps/#bf). In addition to simply displaying the ads from the listed retailers, these apps allow the user to conduct price comparisons on similar items from a variety of sources. For those away from home on Black Friday, the Dealnews apps can quickly display a map showing the nearby locations of selected retailers, as well as a direct link to their websites for additional information on items of interest. These apps have a search feature that allows the user to search for desired items that might be available at bargain prices as well as saved shopping lists. Stores and items of interest found in these apps can instantly be shared with others via Twitter, Facebook or by e-mail.
For those who prefer to avoid the crowds and traffic of Black Friday, many of these same local brick and mortar retailers also offer their advertised specials online, often with free shipping or free pickup (after the rush is over) at the local stores. From a marketing viewpoint, getting an online purchaser into the retail store to pick up an item ordered online may invoke "supermarket psychology" whereby once in the store, it is likely that the shopper will purchase additional merchandise, thus generating additional local revenues.
Many of us might miss the opportunity to join the throngs of people in the stores and malls on Black Friday, thus possibly missing many of the most wanted bargains that sold out quickly early Friday morning. Well, the Monday following Black Friday is known in the industry as Cyber Monday. On Cyber Monday, many of the brick and mortar stores, as well as the online sellers, offer a second chance opportunity to bargain hunters by offering online many of the same deals, as well as additional offers. Traditionally Black Friday may be the busiest shopping day of the year, followed by the "after Christmas clearance sales" on December 26 as the second largest shopping day, but Cyber Monday is often the busiest online shopping day of the year.
Have fun shopping for the holidays, but shop wisely.

Bankers are simple to figure out. They just want one thing: to know that you can repay the loan you are requesting. However, few if any bankers will take a leap of faith in you if you can't show them a few things first, particularly a well thought out business plan.
"That's critical," a Northeast banker who preferred not to be named says about a business plan. "That's step number one. That's your map to success."
The business plan should include plans not just for the initial year but also for several subsequent years.
"Banks are in the business to lend money and make a profit," says Joe Maurer, COO of Momentum Female Fitness Center in Mechanicsburg, PA. "Therefore, they are going to evaluate your [business] plan. If your plan makes sense, they are going to provide you a loan."
However, you may have to keep knocking on doors before a bank decides to take a chance on you. Katherine Coltrin, co-owner of Back Bay Fitness Center in Costa Mesa, CA, called on 12 to 15 banks before one took her and her business partner, Lisa McGhee, up on their plan for a personal training studio.
"Most people probably give up too soon," Coltrin says about approaching bankers. "They have to be willing to dress up, take their business plan in and talk to them. That comes down to being very passionate."
Of course, having business management experience is always a major help in getting a loan, the Northeast banker says, especially in a field as competitive as health clubs.
"Why was one [club] successful and one not?" he says. "A lot of times it comes down to the management ability of a person."
A club owner that develops a relationship with a banker often can return to the same banker for future financial needs.
"The hardest step is the first step," the banker says. "Once you've proven yourself — that you have the management talent to be successful — any financial institution will want to be a partner in your success."
Following are keys to getting a banker to pay attention to you and to keep that relationship going.
- Know what banks want from you
Prior to lending money, banks want to see:
- Your ability to repay the loan
- Your business plan and marketing plan
- Your personal debts and credit history
- Your personal guarantees or collateral
- Your business debts and credit history
- Financial performance of current business (if there is one)
- Your experience in the industry
- Your management capability
During your loan period, bankers want to see periodic financial statements, generally quarterly at first, then possibly annually. The longer your relationship with a bank and the more successful your club, the less often you may have to show the bank a report.
- Breathe your business plan
Whether you are going to open a new club, expand your current facility or renovate it, you must have a thorough business plan to show your banker.
"I can't stress more the business plan," says Coltrin. "Put it together and know it inside and out without even opening it up."
The business plan should be thorough and should include pro forma cash flows, expansion plans, demographic information about the area from which the club will draw members, and how the club will grow the business.
- Don't talk to strangers — just flirt with them
When you are looking for another loan, go back to a banker that you already know — and who already knows you. That banker already knows your ability to pay and your reliability. Why try to develop that relationship with a new bank?
However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't shop around a little. You want to get competitive quotes from about four to five banks so you have something to compare. Chances are, if you are a good customer of your current bank, they will be able to arrange an agreement that is more favorable to you if you can show them what other banks have offered you.
- Limit the length of the personal guarantee
If the bank requires a personal guarantee from you, you may be able to set a limit on the length of that requirement, says Maurer.
"Because I had a relationship with the bank, I was able to get a better loan and no personal guarantee," says Maurer.
- Set a reasonable length of the loan
If you are getting a loan for new equipment, make sure the loan length isn't longer than three to five years since anything longer than that could be longer than the life of the equipment.
For a building loan, the length will probably be the same as a house mortgage — between 25 years and 30 years, says Maurer. If you are leasing your building, the bank will probably ensure that the loan length is no longer than your lease period in case the building owner decides not to renew your lease.
- Know the industry
You have to know the industry, your competition and how you are going to be different from that competition. That should be part of the business plan.
If there is no difference between you and your competitor, then you are only going to compete on price.
"That's a no-win situation for everybody," says Maurer.
You also must know the up and the down sides to the business. Anticipate the objections a banker might have and how you can respond to those, says Coltrin.
- Clear up any red flags
The biggest red flag for a bank might be bad credit history. Another red flag is lack of experience in a health club or lack of business experience/knowledge. Find a way to get the experience and knowledge you are lacking — either through education or by bringing on a partner that has strengths in your area(s) of weakness.
In the end, if you have a good business plan that shows how your business will grow and pay back the loan and you can prove that you or one of your partners has the management ability to run a business, then you are on your way to finding a bank that will invest in you — just don't give up after the first try.

MACON, Ga. (Feb. 10, 2014) – The Atlantic Sun Conference announced Monday that ETSU junior guard Jalen Riley (Racine, Wis.) has been named the league's newcomer of the week. It is the second time this year he has earned that honor.
Riley certainly played well last week, setting a career high with 30 points in the win over Lipscomb on Feb. 8, while adding a 16-point effort earlier in the week in the victory over Northern Kentucky on Feb. 6. For the week, Riley averaged 23 points per game, while shooting a remarkable 61 percent from the field and 60 percent from 3-point range.
Thanks to the play of Riley and the rest of his Buccaneer teammates, ETSU now finds itself tied for third place in the A-Sun standings with USC Upstate, who the Bucs will face tonight at 7 p.m. inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.

Four men have been sentenced over a "thuggish, gratuitous, cowardly and alarming" assault in the cosmetics section of an Adelaide department store.
Two of the men were Hells Angels associates while the victim was connected to the New Boys street gang.
But Judge Paul Rice could not say whether the attack was motivated by conflict between the gangs.
Hussain Ali Alzuain, 25, Simko Eliassi, 24, Andrew Hopwood, 25, and Seywan Moradi, 25, pleaded guilty in the South Australian District Court to taking part in an affray on July 29, 2010, in the Myer store at Modbury.
In sentencing them on Thursday, the judge said prosecutors had dropped a more serious charge of aggravated causing harm with intent.
He described the men's action as thuggish, gratuitous, cowardly and alarming, noting onlookers were frightened and entitled to believe such incidents would not erupt in public places.
After a chance sighting, the four men had approached the victim in the cosmetics section for the purpose of using or threatening to use violence, the judge said.
The victim was hospitalised overnight with grazes, tenderness and a wound after he was punched and kicked during the affray.
The judge jailed Alzuain for nine months, noting his previous convictions and his significant role in the violence.
Eliassi, who had no criminal history, was put on a $500 three-year good behaviour bond, after the judge suspended an eight-month jail term.
At the time of the fight, Hopwood was on a suspended four-month jail term for an assault.
"You put the boot into (the victim) after he went to the floor," the judge said.
He revoked the suspended sentence, jailed him for eight months and set an overall non-parole period of five months.
The judge placed Moradi on a $500 three-year good behaviour bond after suspending a four-month jail term, noting he was the least involved.

Raising the 2008 wheat crop is nearly done. What remains is to get the 2008 wheat harvested and sold. Now is a good time to develop a marketing plan and for producers to develop a plan and strategy for the 2009 wheat crop.
At this writing, the Kansas City Board of Trade July 2008 wheat contract price is $9.30. The forward contract harvest basis offer is between a minus 60 cents in northern Oklahoma to a minus 95 cents in southern Oklahoma. Harvest basis in the Texas panhandle is between a minus 72 and minus 85 cents.
Wheat may be forward contracted for harvest delivery based on the KCBT July wheat contract price plus the basis. In central Oklahoma, this would be $8.60 ($9.30 - $0.70 basis = $8.60).
With the current situation of price uncertainty, neither grain elevators nor producers know what to expect from the wheat market. Producers essentially have three choices. The first choice is to use their own analysis or advice from others to outguess the market by buying and selling futures contracts and options to lock in or establish minimum prices. Then, based on price outlook, sell on the cash market. Research has shown that over the long run, rarely is the average price received enhanced by using futures and option contracts or by using price outlook.
Forward contracts, futures contracts and futures option contracts are great risk management tools. They are not price enhancement tools. Profit is normally increased by managing production costs and yields and by managing finances.
A second marketing option is to use mechanical strategies. One strategy would be to forward contract or hedge one-fourth of expected production now, sell one-fourth at harvest, one-fourth in late-September or early October and the final fourth in November. This staggered strategy produces near an average price for the season. Another mechanical strategy is to sell one-third at harvest, one-third in September/October and the final third in November.
I prefer a staggered strategy because, "I'm always right." If prices peak at harvest, I sold some wheat at the high price and if prices peak in the fall or winter, I still have some wheat to sell." The strategy lets me sleep at night.
A third strategy is to sell all the wheat at harvest and concentrate on managing finances, buying inputs for the 2009 crop and getting it planted. Research has shown that over time, selling at harvest has resulted in a slightly above average price.
There are other selling (marketing) strategies. The key is to establish a plan and follow it. Predicting price movements is like trying to predict when and how much rain a field will receive.
Some producers sell enough wheat at harvest to pay harvesting costs and to cover the costs to plant the 2009 wheat crop. Given fertilizer, fuel, seed and other inputs price increases, production costs have changed dramatically since planting the 2008 wheat crop.
Using $700 per ton for anhydrous ammonia, $1,000 per ton for diammonium phosphate and $375 per ton for UAN (28%), $3.85 for diesel and $12 per bushel for seed, variable costs of production are $165 per acre. Custom harvest rates of $18, $0.18 and $0.18 were used. The costs do not include land or other fixed costs.
Using 35 bushel per acre production, the breakeven sale price would be $4.71.
Total costs per acre, not including land, were $183 per acre. The breakeven price would be $5.23.
The market is going through changes, which complement both marketing and production decisions. Management practices will have to be adjusted. One problem is that some adjustments cannot be anticipated and decisions will have to be made "on the spur of the moment." Having production and marketing plans will increase the odds of making the right decision "on the spur of the moment."

- Living lightly! You can only have so much in a small space, you realize what's necessary and what isn't. It's also quick to clean. But the best feature is the high ceiling -- it allows me to store vertically and makes the rooms feel bigger.
- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space:
- Storage is extremely important, and finding furniture to fit in the space the floor plan allocates without major remodeling was one of my biggest challenges. Most of my furniture was bought on a budget from Ikea and Target. But some pieces were worth the splurge. The love seat is a vintage piece, and I have a small cabinet from West Elm that was the only thing I could find to place next to my entry. Decorating with a seller's mentally is also difficult. I try to have my own style, but always keep in mind that this is a temporary home and I don't want to scare future buyers away with anything too funky.

Trending: Where the 'Best' Living Is
A study released earlier this week ranked Connecticut as the top state for a Human Development Index -- which is just a clunky way of saying well-being. It weighs factors like life expectancy, standard of living and education and creates an index score between 1 and 10 for each state. And good old Connecticut had a higher score than any of the other states in the nation, at 6.17. The lowest? That would be Mississippi, where the index score came in at 3.81.
That's not so great for Mississippi, but it's still better than America on a whole a few decades ago. According to the report, the nation's overall index score was a 1.63 in 1960, because "the average American could expect to live just under 70 years, was highly unlikely to have a bachelor's degree (only 7.7 percent did), and had median earning of about $19,000 per year (in today's dollars)."
Now think about that for a second, and then compare it to where Connecticut stands today. The state's life expectancy is 80.8 years these days, and there are 20.2 percent of residents with a bachelor's degree, along with another 15.3 percent who have a graduate degree. Average earnings are almost double what the nation expected back in the Wonder Years, hovering at $35,926.
Sounds pretty good right? Well, there's a catch. While Connecticut is the number one state when both genders are ranked together, and even when men are ranked by themselves, Connecticut's women fall a little lower on the list, at No. 3, behind Washington, D.C. at No. 1 and Massachusetts at No. 2. So what gives?
Well, the women in Connecticut have a longer life expectancy than the men, at 82.9 years compared to 78.6 years, women's education attainment is a bit lower than men, with 15.1 percent of women holding a graduate degree and 19.7 percent with a bachelor's, compared to 15.6 percent and 20.8 percent, respectively, for men. And earnings? Not even close. Women in Connecticut earn a median income of $30,089, according to this study, while men take home $42,639 -- that's 70.6 cents on the dollar.
Things are marginally better in terms of equality in Massachusetts and Washington, D.C. According to the study, women make $30,274 a year in Massachusetts, while men make $41,587 (that's 72.8 cents on the dollar). In Washington, D.C., women earn $40,367, making it the highest earning area for women, while men earn $45,104 (that's 89.5 cents on the dollar).

Post subject: Black Screen Solution Found
Black screen solution found;
I copied the following line from the front end script running Gxine, that BarryK had pointed out, and put it in the screen saver script in the startup folder, then rebooted.
xset s off -dpms
NOTE: xset s off all by itself did not work, it had to have the -dpms part as well.
The slideshow still runs out of pictures and hangs everything, but I have been able to stretch that out for several hours by adding more pictures and increasing the delay between pictures. I expect that problem to go away when MU finishes incorporating the latest version of the slideshow into the screensaver. Adding a "No Black Screen" toggle to the screensaver setup that either wrote or deleted the above line in the screensaver start up script would be a nice fix, but I don't think I want to push my luck with MU since he has already been so gracious to incorporate the slideshow fix.
While we wait for Mu to finish the incorporation of the slideshow, I shall go find a thread on installing wine.

First, sorry, that it took so long.
I work again since middle of last year, and have not much time left for coding in my spare time.
I attach PuppyScreensaver03.
- Now located in /usr/local/PuppyBasicScreensaver03
- includes slideshow.bin, the compiled Perigee Slideshow 1.2 from february 2010.
I compiled it in Newyearspup, and did not test other Puppys. Please let me know it it will not work, then I must try to compile it in Puppy 4.3.1.
The slideshow now shows the pictures randomly, and you can exit it by pressing "esc" or "q".
The "q" key was easy to add to the source (modified slideshow.cpp is included).
The slideshow no longer needs a "recursive symlink", as it now has a "-loop" option.
I did not run it over a longer period, so could not test, if it crashes after a longer time.
Thanks to George for repeatingly reminding me about Jeremias updated slideshow, so that I now finally could add it.

Hi Mark,
I really had hoped to respond sooner, but I've been busy with other things these days. Sorry for the delay.
I have been running the new version of the slideshow module, and it it is working fine in Puppy 4.3.1. Last night I ran it overnight, and eight hours after I started it, it was still running fine (not that I would have expected otherwise, but it is nice to be sure).
Thanks very much for taking the time to update this. It is great to now have a properly looping slideshow. And the quit with 'q' feature should be a big help to those who were previously unable to ESCape.
Looking around the forum I see that the PuppyBasicScreensaver has quite a long history. And not only do I want to thank you for all your work on this over the years, but thanks to any others who have had a hand in it. Like so many Puppy-related projects, it seems that a number of folks have contributed a little bit, here or there, along the way. And it looks like every year there has been a milestone.
Thanks to you for creating it in
, and adding a slideshow module in
. Thanks to Jeremy Stanley for creating Perigee Slideshow. Thanks to muggins for making the first .pet of Jeremy's application in
. Thanks to puppyluvr for adapting PuppyBasicScreensaver for Puppy 4.1 (by substituting slideshow for gtksee and gtk-1.2, which apparently were not in Puppy 4.1) in
. And finally thanks to you again, Mark, for improving how it worked with slideshow in
and, most recently, updating it with Jeremy's improved slideshow in
. Also thanks to Barq's for contacting you and Jeremy to start things rolling on these newest improvements. Probably there are others, unknown to me, that deserve thanks too. (If you know who you are, thanks!)
Lastly, I'd like to add a reminder that this screensaver requires PuppyBasic and the slideshow module requires a couple of SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) libraries. These are not included in newer Puppies (like Puppy 4.3.1). Details on what packages are needed and where to find them were provided by vtpup in this post:
There may be other packages needed to get some of the other modules to work, but I've not looked into those since I've been concentrating on the new slideshow module.

I sincerely apologize for such an extended absence. I wish I could tell you a real creative excuse but I will have to live with "life tossed me a nasty curve ball" and leave it at that. But I am alive and I'm back.
I see that ninety people have already downloaded it and only one post. So I shall give it a go and report back.
Thank you MU for updating this.
Thank you npierce and disciple for staying with me through out this.

Post subject: Lost the start up script
et. al.
I uninstalled the slideshow screensaver 2.0 and installed version 3.0...now it does not work and the screen goes black on schedule again. The screensaver start up script seems to have been deleted from the startup folder when screensaver 2.0 was uninstalled and version 3.0 did not put one back (i.e. I no longer have the xsets off command in the startup folder either).
Under the menu item "Desktop" "Puppy Screensaver Setup" the selected module is slidshow and the the screensaver shows as active. I selected the "test screensaver" option and the slideshow starts just fine (the "q" key for exit works great...thank you). The interval is set for 1 min and I selected the start screensave option and it starts up on schedule. The only problem seems to be the absence of a start up script in the startup menu. I remember how to modify a script, but I do not know how to create one from scratch. how is that done?

Hi Barq's,
Welcome back!
The /usr/local/PuppyBasicScreensaver03/run-PB-screensaver script is what you are looking for. Yes, installing the old package placed a symbolic link to the script in /root/Startup, and installing the new packages does not. Some people might not want it to start automatically. You do, so you can create the symbolic link yourself with the following command (which is actually all on one line, although it may appear on multiple lines here if your browser window is small):
ln -s /usr/local/PuppyBasicScreensaver03/run-PB-screensaver /root/Startup/
Then you can edit it to add your
xset s off -dpms
as you did before.

Post subject: Start up Script
Hello npierce
I created the symbolic link per your instructions, tweaked it with the
xset s off -dpms
script and rebooted. The screensaver kicked up on schedule. It's late and I'm going to let it run overnight to see if it locks up or goes black and let you all know tomorrow evening.
Thank you (it's great to be back)

Subject description: Screen Saver Still Hangs
Well I placed the machine in the church library three weeks ago. Each week when I returned I found the machine was hung.
How do I diagnose the cause of the hang this time?

My guess is that some curious soul clicked the mouse or pressed one of the various manual-advance keys, putting the slideshow into manual mode. To put it back into auto-advance mode press
. See RUNTIME CONTROLS at
for more info.
Or do you mean it was totally hung, requiring reboot? If so, was it still displaying one of the slideshow images? Were you able to move the mouse cursor?

It is totally hung requiring a forced re-boot. This has been very consistent ever week when I go back to it. It has always been hung on one of the photos, but never the same one twice.

Coming back to the forum after a long absence, I was sorry to read that you were still having problems with the screensaver.
As you know from experience, troubleshooting something that only fails after running for many days, can be a tough mission.
Trying to think of a reason that it would run overnight fine, but fail later in the week, I considered the possibility that the program might have a small memory leak which -- after running for many days -- eventually consumed all available memory, causing the system to hang.
But that does not seem to be the case. As I write this, I've had the screensaver running in a window for nine days, and it is using no more memory now than it was on the first day it was running. Once it displayed all of the images in the directory, there was no further significant increase in memory use by the screensaver. (Actually, it didn't necessarily need to display
of the images: once it had displayed the one image that caused it to use the most memory (which was not necessarily the largest image file) memory use did not grow significantly.) Oh, it might occasionally jump up or down a few megabytes, but would eventually return to about the same as it was at first.
I looked at all three processes: the process that is always running in the background waiting to start the screensaver (scr.pbas), the module that calls the slideshow program (mod_slideshow.pbas), and the slideshow process itself (slideshow.bin).
Granted, running it in a window, as I did, is not the same as running it full-screen. It is certainly possible that there is a bug that will only raise its nasty head when run full-screen. But the odds of that, while not impossible, are probably slim. Naturally, I did not want to give up using my computer for a week just to test this in full-screen mode.
Anyway, it seems that we can probably rule out a memory leak.
Perhaps you have a very large number of images? When you tested it overnight, was that long enough for it to display all of the images? If not, perhaps there is one image that is very large and complex that pushed the memory use beyond the limit of available memory. I think that is unlikely, but I am running out of ideas. If I remember correctly, you only have 128 MB in that machine. That should be more than enough for a computer that isn't doing anything else except displaying simple images, but perhaps you have a few humongous images in the mix, or possibly one or more corrupt image files. As I said, I'm running out of ideas here.
So if your overnight test did not test all of the images, you might want to reduce the number of images to just a few known good ones, and test it that way to see if it will keep running for a week.
Since the screensaver will run overnight for you, and is still running for me after nine days, I suspect it is more likely that something else is causing your system to hang. It could be some other process, or even a hardware problem. Perhaps your machine is sensitive to temperature variations? Is the church office heated during the week?
I would suggest testing it at home for a week, where you have more control of its environment and can be sure that no one else is interfering with the test during the week. Also, if you haven't already done so, try shutting down other applications such as browsers (this forum has countless tales of buggy browsers).
Anyway, I realize that by now you may have gotten tired of pulling your hair out, and may have thrown in the towel while you still have hair left. But if you are still working on this project, good luck!
And Happy New Year.
P.S. I noticed that the server where I previously found the SDL pet has vanished. If anyone needs it, an alternative location is
