If I asked you who defines the reality we live in, you would probably think that it's a strange question. So let's examine this with a simple question.
How was this guy commonly referred to?
No, not creepy weirdo. The other one.
That's right, the King of Pop. But have you ever wondered how he became the King? Did he do battle with other peons of pop to eventually rise up as the ruler of popdom? Is there a a section of the UN that governs over the royalty of popular culture (there are at least The Duke, a Princess and a Queen)? Or maybe he was thrown a Sword of Pop by a lady in the lake thus giving him this prestigious role.
One might wonder about the succession of this Kinghood. Did he get his from the King of Kings who had died just before his career got off? And now that the King of Pop is dead, who is the next King? Is it this guy:
These were among the questions that Howard Stern thought about a long time ago. He realized that no-one had actually named Michael Jackson the King of Pop, he had just started calling himself that. So he decided to try the same thing just to see if it worked, even though he was just a radio show host (though a pretty successful one at that). So he started calling himself King of All Media. The results were quite interesting.
People started treating him as if he truly were King of All Media. At interviews he was always presented as King of All Media and even regular people commonly referred to him as that. He had not done any media conquests or anything like that. He simply started behaving as if he were the King and people treated him as such. In effect, he had altered reality simply through his will.
This is not an isolated incident. There is also the case of Norton I, the Emperor of the United States. He was a businessman who lost his fortune, went insane and declared himself emperor. He was then treated like an emperor. People wrote him letters pretending to be various heads of state, issued currency in his name and even attended his funeral by the tens of thousands. In his mind he truly was the emperor, simply because chose to be.
To come back to the original question: reality is defined people's view on the world. Those views are not actually based on anything in the same way buildings are based on the ground they rest on. So if you want to change the world, all you have to do is to pretend that the change has already happened and behave accordingly. The really scary part is that other people will start believing it (though it's not in any way guaranteed that over two people will ever See the Light as You Intended).
This is what advertising is based on: choosing how you want the world to be and then repeating it over and over and over and over again. Eventually reality changes and your message has become fact.
And that is why plants crave Brawndo: it's got electrolytes.

Over 200 Developers Working on Xbox One Titles via ID@Xbox Program
Microsoft has finally revealed a list of the next set developers who have been given ID@Xbox development kits so that the next-gen system can boost its indie game library.
The Xbox Wire has unveiled a list of developers who have just been added to the ID@XBox program. The ID@Xbox sends developer kits to various indie studios so that small-time developers can attempt to get titles out on the Xbox One format. The list includes veteran indie developers, such as Robomodo and Playdead. It also lists previous Xbox Live Arcade developers for the Xbox 360, such as Humble Hearts and Ska Studios along with brand new development studios, such as Heart Machine and Glass Bottom Games.
Given the highly apparent lack of indie titles on the Xbox One's library compared to the multitude of choices on the PlayStation 4, the ID@Xbox program has its work cut out for it. We can't wait to see what sort of titles the ID@Xbox program will bring to the Xbox One.

The Tucson Unified School District Governing Board has added Maxwell, Brichta, Menlo Park, Manzo, Cragin and Wakefield to its list for possible closures.
These could be closed or consolidated next academic year. The board voted to keep Pueblo Gardens Elementary School and Santa Rita High School open, and they were taken off the list of closures.
Last week, the board voted to start the closure process at Hohokam and Carson middle schools, Howenstine High Magnet School and at five elementary schools: Schumaker, Fort Lowell-Townsend, Corbett, Lyons and Sewell.
The list includes 14 schools but their closure is not final. The governing board must have two public meetings for those who might be affected by the closures. After that, board members will vote to finalize the list on Dec. 20.
Tuesday's meeting had the largest turnout yet. The auditorium at Catalina Magnet High School was packed and dozens of teachers, students, parents and community members spoke about the negative impact of school closures.
The concerns most often cited were lack of transportation or difficulty for students to get to and from school, and the loss of academic achievement for students who may get lost in the shuffle, especially children with special needs who benefit from smaller schools, many teachers said.
The possibility of a deeper drop in enrollment as a result of having fewer schools troubles board members Adelita Grijalva and Michael Hicks. They both said Tucson's west side and east side are getting hit the hardest and students in those areas may start looking at charter schools or private schools as an option.

|Attention: DocWiki has reached EOL and will be decommissioned January 25, 2019.
Application Extension Platform 1.x -- Preparing the Cisco AXP SDK
From DocWiki
(→Untar the Cisco AXP SDK file)
Newer edit →
Revision as of 21:03, 9 September 2010
To unpack the Cisco AXP SDK in your development machine, perform the following steps.
Untar the Cisco AXP SDK file
In this example, the files within an SDK tar file are uncompressed and extracted to directory /opt/axp-sdk.1.6.1/
The parameters "-xzf" have the following meanings:
x => extract files from the tar file
z => expand compressed files from the tar file
f => indicates that the next argument ("axp-sdk.1.6.1.tar.gz" in this case) is the name of the archive file
[root@centos axp_1.6.1]# tar -xzf axp-sdk.1.6.1.tar.gz
Unpack the SDK file into the /opt/axp-sdk.1.6.1/ directory. The SDK file name is axp-sdk.x.y.z.tar.gz, where x.y.z is the version number of Cisco AXP SDK software. (For example, 1.6.1) Make sure that the version number of the SDK you are using on your development machine matches the version of Cisco AXP loaded on the Cisco AXP service module. The Cisco AXP SDK directories (for Cisco AXP 1.6.1) are created in the /opt/axp-sdk.1.6.1/ directory.
Check the keys Subdirectory
Before you begin running the packaging script, required certificates need to be loaded into a directory such as:
/opt/axp-sdk.1.6.1/keys .
During packaging, you will need to enter the location of these certificates.
[root@centos keys]# ls auth_bundle.sig dev_certificate.sig private.key
The directory needs to be readable.
Check the output Subdirectory
Create an output directory in the /opt directory (or directory of your choice) if it does not already exist. This directory is used by the packaging tool to store the final packaged files (*.pkg, *.prt1) for the application.
Enter the
chmod command to give the directory the correct privileges.
[root@centos opt]# mkdir output [root@centos opt]# chmod 755 output
Invoke the Packaging Tool pkg_build.sh
You can run the tool either: a) from within the /opt/axp-sdk.1.6.1/tools/ directory or b) from outside this directory by preceding "pkg_build.sh" with the directory path name.
Example 1 (Invoke tool from outside the directory.)
[root@centos /]# /opt/axp-sdk.1.6.1/tools/pkg_build.sh
Example 2 (Invoke tool from within the /opt/axp-sdk.1.6.1/tools/ directory.)
[root@centos tools]# ./pkg_build.sh
In this example, the packaging tool executes interactively, creating the package files for installation.
Create a Script File (optional)
At the end of interactive use of the packaging tool, you can copy the text displayed on the screen after the words "Resulting CLI command" and paste the text into a file for future use as a script file. For example, your "Resulting CLI command" may look like:
/opt/axp-sdk.1.6.1/tools/pkg_build.sh --project-dir 'output' --auth-bundle '/opt/axp-sdk.1.6.1/keys/auth_bundle.sig' --private-key '/top/axp-sdk1.6.1./keys/private.key' --name 'tcpdump' --version '3.9.4' --description 'tcpdump on AXP 1.6' --source-dir '/opt/tcpdump' --disk-limit '5000M' --memory-limit '256M' --cpu-limit '7000' --postinstall 'bin/post-install.sh' --tmpfs 'mem,16'
In the future, you can use the script file as the basis of a file used to provide arguments to the packaging tool, instead of running the tool interactively.
Obtain the Configuration File
Once the application has been successfully packaged, a configuration file is generated. This will look similar to the following:
Generated files:
Output package: /opt/output/pkg/tcpdump.3.9.4.pkg Output payload: /opt/output/pkg/tcpdump.3.9.4.prt1 Text config file: output/tcpdump.126.96.36.19900614.cfg
In the future, you can use this configuration file to generate packages. To do so, use the command
<axp sdk location>/tools/pkg_build.sh --file <location of tcpdump.3.9.4.cfg>
Return to: Application Extension Platform 1.x -- Packaging Applications on Cisco AXP

As a basketball player at Lipscomb University Michael Lusk was known for his moves on the court. He is still on the move, but in a different way. In his work at School of the Legends Lusk finds himself moving in circles with NFL players and personnel. The Super Bowl, the NFL Draft and the Rookie Premier have been, or will be, part of his travel schedule. Michael took a few moments this week to talk with lipscombsports.com.
What sport did you play at Lipscomb? What years? Who were your coaches?
"I played basketball at Lipscomb from 2005-2009. My head coach was Scott Sanderson. The assistants were coach Shaun Senters, coach Hubie Smith, coach Jay Walton and coach Pete Froedden.
"I graduated in December of 2009 with a degree in Mass Communications."
What is your fondest athletic memory at Lipscomb?
"Beating Indiana 74-69 on Dec. 28, 2008 at Indiana my senior year was pretty big. That is probably one of the biggest wins in Lipscomb basketball. Adnan Hodzic, Josh Slater and Mike Teller carried us. I didn't have my greatest game, but I played all right.
"Second would be playing in the A-Sun Championship game at ETSU my freshman year against Belmont. That game went into overtime. It was down to the wire. We got to play in the NIT."
Who had the biggest influence on you during your athletic career at Lipscomb? How?
"James Poindexter. When I came to Lipscomb on my recruiting visit he was my host. He showed me a little bit about Nashville. He showed me the school. I could tell that he was really involved with the student body.
"He always encouraged me to challenge the older guys for playing time. Trey Williams and I stepped into starting roles as freshmen. James was always behind me 100 percent. To this day, every time he comes to town we still hang out."
What is your fondest non-athletic memory from your time at Lipscomb?
"Graduating…getting a degree at a nationally well-known university. I had my family there supporting me.
"I could serve as a role model to my siblings. I could show them you could be a student-athlete and be successful overall.
"I have to give credit to the coaching staff. We had study halls. They put us in a position to excel in the classroom. Coach Jay (Walton) was the head of academics. He really stayed on top of us.
"Professors worked with our schedules when we were out of town for a road game or a tournament. They didn't pressure us. They would give us a day or so to get back in the swing of things."
What is the most valuable thing you gained or learned from your time at Lipscomb?
"Getting to know different types of people. I got to know people from different types of religion. I wasn't a member of the Church of Christ, but I learned the different ways that people reach out in religious ways. There is not just one right way to introduce Christ into somebody's life.
"I had a great time taking Tom Seals' Bible classes. He made me realize I wasn't put on earth just to play basketball or go to school. We are to be out there trying to change people's lives. We did community service where we would help paint at churches. At the end of my senior year I worked in the Big Brothers program."
Who was your favorite professor? Why?
"I have four - Dr. Jimmy McCollum, Dr. Mark McGee, Dr. Tom Seals and Ray Harris.
"Dr. McCollum made sure I was on track for graduation throughout my 4 1/2 years in school. He helped me with my internships.
"I loved Dr. McGee's media ethics class. I think I took him for three classes. Being an athlete, a lot of his topics had to do with what I am dealing with now. I am around a lot of players. We talk about social media and what they can or can't say on the Internet.
"In broadcasting Mr. Harris really helped me. His classes were always interesting because he had that experience in filming.
"Dr. Seals didn't make me feel uncomfortable when he spoke about religion. He was real down-to-earth. He was easy to talk to. He was a great listener. He made it fun to learn about the different ways people view religion."
Where do you live now?
"I live in Nashville. I work in Brentwood."
Who is your employer? What is your occupation? What does your position entail?
"The School of the Legends (editor's note: School of the Legends is an officially licensed partner with NFL Players). We are an NFL website for current and former players. We have them vote in polls and comment on news stories and trending topics going on in the NFL.
"I am the player liaison. I have been here almost three years. When a player needs help with anything on our website I am here to help them out.
"I deal with players when we go to certain events like the Super Bowl. I am going to the NFL Draft. I am going to the Rookie Premier in L.A. in May. I am a bridge between the players and our company.
"It has given me a well-balanced diet of dealing with the sports world from athletes to agents to different companies."
Tell us about your family.
"I am single."
"My e-mail address is email@example.com."

Kanye West is "insecure" his ex, Brooke Crittendon, claims. Crittendon, who first met West in 2004 and dated him for more than a year, is speaking out about the experience of dating West as his relationship with Kim Kardashian becomes more serious.
"He was not macho," Crittendon told The Sun. "He needed you to be with him and needed your opinion. He was quite vulnerable."
"He was insecure as he couldn't be with me every day," she claimed. "I got the impression he worried he wasn't good enough for me. He needs people to tell him he is good and that he is needed and wanted."
"He wouldn't start his show unless I was at the side of the stage. One night the show was delayed because he couldn't find me," she says.
But the worst part of dating him, she claims, was the constant female attention he faced. "I was very naïve," Crittendon says. "…It got too much for me to handle. I was never OK being one of many. Or even one of a few. … Kanye was very open and honest but it ended up with me knowing too much. I don't want to be silly and say it wasn't cheating because I knew about it."
Kardashian, however, just might be the one to tame him, Crittendon believes.
"For Kanye, what other person besides Kim Kardashian is there?" she asks. "There's Halle Berry, JLo and Beyonce, but they're all taken. [Kim] fits into his brand."
Crittendon believes West even watched Kardashian's sex tape before there dated and says, "I know he has had a thing with her for a while."
In fact, West's former friend, rapper Consequence, claims that West was dating Kardashian while she was with football star Reggie Bush. He claimed on Power 105.1's Breakfast Club show this morning, "That was our secret. When the rest of the world didn't know."

In Bangladesh WFP is reaching barely 1 million people out of a target 5 million who cannot afford to buy the food they need for their families.
14-month-old Shahida has a healthy appetite and enjoys eating WFP's nutritious fortified blended food – straight from the container! This specially vitamin-enriched food is giving her a chance to put her acutely malnourished past behind her.
More assistance during this critical period will give her the nutrition she needs to develop properly mentally and physically – and to reach her full potential later in life.
But WFP will soon be forced to cut her rations.
Which means that Shahida will have to return to a life of one or two meals of rice a day - and to a future where malnutrition threatens to stunt her physical and mental development – and to leave her much more susceptible to disease. Hungry Get Hungrier As Food Aid Funding Stutters
Crushed by hunger, weather-related disasters, high food prices, and the global economic downturn.
- Bangladesh is home to some of the poorest and hungriest people in the world and has the highest prevalence of underweight children in South Asia. 65 million out of 150 million Bangladeshis cannot meet their basic food needs.
- Acute malnutrition levels in Bangladesh are above the emergency threshold and are higher than many parts of sub-Saharan Africa. More than 2 million children are acutely malnourished. Malnutrition is the underlying cause of 50% of child deaths in Bangladesh.
- High food prices, weather-related disasters and the global economic downturn have exacerbated the food security situation – while funding shortfalls will soon severely impede WFP's ability to continue reaching the poorest of the poor.
- Due to its budget shortfall, WFP has only been able to assist 1 million people out of 5 million it was targeting in a programme designed to assist those seriously affected by high food prices. As a result, 4 million of Bangladesh's hungriest people are struggling to feed themselves, repeatedly skipping meals and sometimes going a whole day without food.
- Unless WFP receives more funding soon, an additional 1.3 million malnourished women and children will no longer receive vital rations of fortified blended food. This will undoubtedly lead to increases in wasting, stunting and underweight rates.

Any ideas on what this could be? Going to the vet Wednesday. Saw a few fleas and used Hartz flea & tick 36 hours ago. I don't know if that could have something to do with it.
Any Ideas?
Talk about diets, exercise, and disease.

Re: Any Ideas?
I don't know what it is but please google reactions to hartz products. You'll likely NEVER use them again.
Re: Any Ideas?
Is that an ear? Could be bug bite, an allergic reaction from the treatment or seasonal. I've seen many dogs lose hair and break out from Hartz. I'd ask the vet.

Yeah, I read about them after I used it so I've been keeping a close eye on him to make sure he's ok. So far I haven't noticed anything different except this mark! It's not raised above skin, just flat so I was thinking possibly ringworm? I'll find out Wednesday at tge vet for sure I guess!

WiP Wednesday: The one with the sniffles
Niece/nephew birthday gifts
Thanks for all of your suggestions last week for what to make for my nephew - I wound up making a fun car-themed drawstring pouch for him with some cars inside for him, and I think he'll really dig that. But, in my Sudafed-induced haze, I completely forgot to take a single picture of the darned thing before I shipped it off yesterday, so you'll just have to take my word on its cuteness.
Still going:
For the Love of Solids swap
The swap is alive and kicking, with all the partners sent out and lots of folks posting sketches and fabric selections already. I fooled around with a simple design that I might try out in this swap, adding in some kind of neutral somewhere, but I'm still debating between whether I make a bag for my partner or a miniquilt.
Secret project
I managed to baste this last night, so I'm hoping to get to some quilting today, if I'm up to it. I'm hoping that with the right music and the right cup of coffee, I'll be able to plug away at this today. Speaking of basting, I'd love to hear from you guys - are you spray basters or pin basters? I've spray basted my last 20 quilts or so, but I have to wonder if perhaps I'd be faster at pin basting than I used to be. Speed is really the main reason I spray baste...
New this week:
New pillows
I've decided it's time for some new pillows for my house. I feel the need for something fresh and new in my living room. I haven't decided what kind of pillow covers I want to make just yet, but I'm hoping to pull some fabrics this weekend and have some fun with them. Maybe a cathedral windows pillow? I don't know, we'll see.
I worked with my new iron a little bit last night, which was awfully fun. If you haven't read about Oliso irons or seen one in action, you would be in for a major surprise when you plugged one in. These irons have a Smart Lift mechanism where basically the iron is intended to lay on the soleplate, all the time, rather than get stood up on its side. It has a smart sensor on the handle that lifts the iron off your ironing board when you let go of the handle. At first, this was kind of awkward, because I'm usually a multi-tasking presser, letting the iron do its pressing for me while I finger press the next block or while I sew another seam, but I actually grew to like this feature as I used the iron more last night. I've scorched quite a few spots on my ironing board, thanks to my old method of ironing. More on the iron as I use it some more this week, hopefully.
I hope you've had a better sewing week than I have! What are you sewing this week? Write it up and share it over at Lee's WiP Wednesday linky!

I really like the design for your solid sway. As for basting, I'm a pin kind of girl. I noticed I become faster with every quilt, and with two little ones who still play on the floor a lot, I don't want to use anything chemical in or around the house...ReplyDelete
You turned me on to spray basting and I will never go back. I was didn't hate pin basting, I just could never get it flat/tight enough and would usually have to re-pin half way through quilting. not fun. Glad everyone is starting to feel better.ReplyDelete
I'm a pin baster. I'm lucky in that we have an eight-ball table and a couple of massive pieces of MDF that fit across it, so I can tape down my backing and then pin baste my quilts on the table, rather than crawl around on the floor...ReplyDelete
I'm a dedicated pin baster :)ReplyDelete
I just don't like the idea of all that sticky stuff on my quilt. I know it all washes out and everything, but it just doesn't appeal to me.
Glad you guys are recovering! Enjoy your starbucks - yum!ReplyDelete
That's a great design for your solids swap. I'm sure whatever you decide on will be great.
Question about your oliso, are you a steamer? Does it have a steam setting? I wonder because mine steams when it's put on it's side and since you never prop up the oliso I would imagine it would always be steaming!
Thanks for the info on your new iron! You forgot to mention it is also just the cutest darn thing! As for basting, I am a spray baster, like you, for speed. I sometimes will throw just a few pins in at the corners if its a larger quilt so I don't have to worry about an edge getting caught when wrangling (although with the new machine being so much larger, this likely isnt a problem any more). LOVE your solid sketch!!ReplyDelete
Love your solids design. I hate pinning quilts. I'm always meaning to try spray but I haven't yet:)ReplyDelete
Your Solids Only Swap project is coming along nicely. I was wishy-washy on what to make my partner too, a bag or quilt and decided on the bag. Fabric has been ordered.ReplyDelete
As for basting, I always go with pins, it's faster and less messy since I don't have a space where I can really spray anyway.
Loving where your Solids swap project is going! I really need to put some thought into mine. My partner has some great suggestions...I just need to pick a direction!ReplyDelete
I'm a pin baster. I've tried the spray, and I honestly think I prefer pins. I definitely think I've gotten faster (and I can do it with fewer pins) than when I started.
Cool design for the solid swap! I have been mostly a pin baster, but have started spraying a few. I just tried Sulky & it worked so much nicer that what I'd previously used! (not sure what). It was lovely to work with. Hope you continue to feel better!!ReplyDelete
Pin baster.ReplyDelete
I love the look of that mini quilt, and I can't wait to see the secret project!!
Feel better soon, sweetie!!!
Actually, I'm just paranoid enough to do BOTH. I spray, and then I pin. I probably don't pin as close as I would without the spray, but you can't be too careful! (Or at least, I can't! It would be just my luck that the darn thing would shift!) Besides, I like the sense of progress as I take each pin out. Kind of like the feeling when you check items off your to-do list-- seeing my container fill back up with pins makes me feel like I'm almost done!ReplyDelete
Ohhh that solids design is GORGEOUS! I really love it. I iron with a 5 year old Rowenta- and it is just awesome, no smart lift but I can't complain, it just does a beautiful job and I got it second hand- so it was really cheap. I am a dedicated pin baster, but that is only because my Grandmother had a really high end viking machine that ended up breaking beyond repair and her repairman/dealer told her the spray basting she had been doing had ruined her tension and it couldn't be fixed. She ended up buying a new Babylock and has shared that wisdom with the rest of us- so for the health of my beloved Berni (Bernina) I pin baste and avoid fuseables if at all possible.ReplyDelete
I love the solids project. I'd keep it a mini...ReplyDelete
Basting.... Hm... I have to admit that I've sent most of my quilts out to the long-arm quilter and haven't basted many...ReplyDelete
However, when I do my own quilts, I prefer to spray baste - BUT.... I am struggling to find a PLACE to SPRAY BASTE. WHERE do you do yours?
Glad everyone is feeling a little better - get well soon yourself.ReplyDelete
I have never tried spray basting so I can't comment!
I've spray basted the last few quilts, I still put in a couple of pins just in case, I'd take spray basting over pin basting any day, for me it's much quicker and less likely to have any ripples in the backing.ReplyDelete
I love your layout for the love of solids swap.

I'm a pin baster. I never tried to spray baste. But I don't like the idea of having glue in my quilt. Maybe a little strange. I like to think that pin basting is a part of the quilt making. But *laugh* I didn't do a quilt bigger than toddler size so... ;)ReplyDelete
This is very interesting about your iron! I'm glad you're liking it. I might be in the market for a new iron myself.ReplyDelete
Loving that sketch! If your partner doesn't like it, then she's clearly blind. LOL. Thanks for linking up to WIP Wednesday. : )ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 25, 2012 at 9:24 PM
Raising hand. Pin baster, here.ReplyDelete
I just wrote about it today. I've never spray basted and didn't understand the hazards, I'll stick with my pins!
The solids design is wonderful! I never spray baste, cuz I don't like spraying glue and I do pin pretty quickly (the king size quilt took no more than an hour to pin). But many people love the spray.ReplyDelete
I sprayed then went to pins and back to spray. Can't beat the speed. 505 seems to have the least amount of smell.ReplyDelete
Hope you're all better today - hey, maybe your FTLOS partner can make you a cushion to help you on your way!ReplyDelete
My iron passed its first test of being left on for 24 hours without anything untoward happening (oopsie, was sure I'd unplugged it the night before!)
I'm a pin baster, but have to confess that in desperation at some slippy linen, I once sprayed my batting with extra strong hair spray!! It worked!ReplyDelete
I'm unlikely to spray baste as I quite enjoy the crawling around with pins ... it's a stage I enjoy ... It gives you a chance to think about the quilting ... and it's the last real hurdle and then you're on the home straight!
Thank you for leaving a comment for me! I appreciate each and every one of them and try to respond when time allows. Your comments totally brighten my day :)

Gary Kirk teaches in JMU's M.P.A. program and in the undergraduate major in public policy and administration. His article is condensed from Spring 2010 Political Currents, the newsletter of JMU's Department of Political Science.
This applied experience complements the scholarly reading and writing that are a part of Robinson's study. It also offers a perspective on public service that differs substantially from her internships at a Virginia Department of Corrections men's diversion center and at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.Courtney Robinson ('09, '10M) is enthusiastic about helping clients at Mercy House. The Harrisonburg nonprofit organization provides a wide range of support services to area residents. Robinson says her volunteer experience gives her "an in-depth view of how nonprofits function" and a chance to "participate in efforts to help homeless and disadvantaged families in the Harrisonburg area." In addition to working directly with clients, Robinson works with grant management at Mercy House and has coordinated a fundraising event for the nonprofit. The experience is part of her independent study project.
Learning through public service
Robinson is one of dozens of students in JMU public policy and administration undergraduate and graduate programs who are actively engaged in a community organization. In their ideal form, service-learning activities are mutually beneficial for students and the host organization. The experiential nature of the projects offers students opportunities for complex problem solving and professional networking, and putting knowledge into practice. Research confirms that service-learning projects increase student communication skills, political savvy and technical skills. Community organizations also benefit by gaining skilled human resources and fresh perspectives as well as expert advice from those faculty members who oversee student projects.
Prior to Courtney Robinson's volunteer study, Mercy House welcomed a number of graduate students enrolled in Dr. Nicholas Swartz's Program Evaluation course. Students evaluated four programs for the nonprofit agency.
Mercy House Executive Director Twila Lee was thrilled with the student involvement. "The best part of the evaluations," Lee explains, "is that students were honest and professional. … The collaboration was definitely a win-win situation." According to Lee, the student groups not only conducted the program evaluations, but they also left her organization with the tools necessary to conduct its own evaluations.
Creating a university-government relations model
Working with the Town of Elkton Inc. town council is another example of how JMU students have become involved in area communities. Town manager Reid Wodicka ('09, '11M) has sought opportunities to make Elkton a model for university-government relations. As a result, students from several classes are participating in projects around Elkton.
Students in Dr. Swartz's Urban Policy class are drafting an economic development plan for the town. The skills students acquire in creating this important document will help them be more competitive in an increasingly ruthless job market. Students working on this project are exposed to a variety of experiences such as Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats — (SWOT) — analysis, focus group facilitation as well as the experience of working with citizens and town officials.
JMU has additional undertakings in Elkton. Students in my Public Management class are developing a safety plan for the town and writing a Virginia Department of Health grant to improve Elkton's water infrastructure.
Student groups have also worked with the City of Harrisonburg, the Charlottesville Department of Social Services, the Fauquier County Parks and Recreation Department, the Virginia Benefits Programs Organization and Harrisonburg's Friendly City Food Co-op.

Hilton's Best Price Guarantee
We guarantee you always get the lowest price when you reserve a room through an official Hilton booking channel. or we'll match the lower price and give you an extra 25% discount.
Here's how it works:
Make a confirmed reservation through one of the following official Hilton booking channels (any official Hilton website, any official Hilton call center, the Hilton Honors App, directly at a Hilton hotel, or through an Accredited Travel Agent)
If you find a qualifying lower price for the same accommodations within 24 hours after making your reservation, and if we verify your claim, we will honor the lower price AND take an additional 25% off the room rate for each night of your stay.
Make a confirmed reservation through one of the following official Hilton booking channels:
- Any official Hilton website
- Any official Hilton call center
- The Hilton Honors App
- Directly at a Hilton hotel
- Through an Accredited Travel Agent* *See "Other Details" for more information
A qualifying lower price is a lower price you find on a non-Hilton booking channel within 24 hours after your booking, for the same accommodations that you booked through an official Hilton booking channel, and must be viewable by anyone prior to booking and bookable by anyone.
Certain types of prices will not qualify for the Best Price Guarantee if there are differences in the accommodations. For example, prices do not qualify if they are for a different room type, or at a different hotel, or for a room with a different view, or include different amenities (like free breakfast), or are not on the same dates for the same length of stay, or are for a different number of guests, or have different policies, terms or conditions for the booking (like different cancellation or refund policies).
Certain types of prices will not qualify for the Best Price Guarantee if they have other restrictions or limitations on how they are displayed or booked. For example, prices do not qualify if they are on websites that don't disclose the brand or hotel until the reservation is made (like Hotwire and Priceline), or are on auction websites, or are for the hotel component of a package booking, or are for bookings that don't provide an immediate confirmation, or are not available to the general public (like member rates, negotiated rates and team member rates), or require a login, credit card number or a code to see, or if they are on websites that don't have the ability to book a reservation, or are for reservations that are not authorized to be transferred (like a guest "reselling" a confirmed reservation), or are on websites or Apps that are in an unsupported language, or are applicable to only a portion of your entire stay, or are for reservations made within 24 hours of the hotel's standard check-in time on your day of arrival.
You must submit a complete claim form within 24 hours after you make your confirmed reservation, and at least 24 hours before the hotel's standard check-in time on your day of arrival. The name on the claim form must match the name on the confirmed reservation for each room. Only one claim may be submitted for each confirmed reservation. You will receive an e-mail confirmation or phone call within 24 hours after our receipt of your claim.
We will try to independently validate your claim within 24 hours after you submit a claim with all required details. The same accommodations must be available for booking at a qualifying lower price in the currency of the hotel when we validate your claim. Price comparisons will be made net of taxes, gratuities, service charges, early departure fees, or other fees and incidental charges, and will exclude changes in currency exchange rates.
The Best Price Guarantee will not apply to multi-day stays if the total room price for the stay is the same or greater than the total room price for the stay you booked through the official Hilton booking channel. Hilton may deny claims if the percentage difference between the price booked through the official Hilton booking channel and the qualifying lower price is 1% or less. Hilton may deny claims if it believes that the Best Price Guarantee is being intentionally abused or manipulated to circumvent its intent.
If we verify the availability and eligibility of the qualifying lower price, we'll match the qualifying lower price PLUS give you 25% off the room price for the entire booking. In that case, Hilton will adjust the rate on the confirmed reservation to the qualifying lowest price that Hilton is able to verify, which may be different than the price that was submitted on the claim form.
The room price change is not effective until you receive an email confirmation reflecting the new room price from Hilton's Guest Assistance Department.
The guest who makes a confirmed reservation will be responsible for all costs, expenses and fees associated with such reservation (like cancellation fees), regardless of whether a Best Price Guarantee claim is denied.
A claim may be invalidated if you make any changes to the reservation after the claim is submitted and approved.
"Accredited Travel Agents" are retail travel professionals accredited by IATA (the International Air Transport Association) who book through a Hilton channel or through Amadeus, Apollo/Galileo, Worldspan or Sabre.
When multiple prices for the same accommodations are available through the official Hilton booking channel, you must have booked the lowest rate to be eligible for the Best Price Guarantee.
Void where prohibited by law. All Hampton by Hilton hotels in the People's Republic of China are currently excluded from the Best Price Guarantee. Hilton may modify or discontinue the Best Price Guarantee or these terms and conditions at any time in our sole discretion, with or without notice.
These terms apply to claims submitted on or after September 20, 2016.
It's simple, right? Booking directly with Hilton is quick, easy and guarantees best value. and our reservation specialists are available around the clock to help if you have questions.

In this video, the reporter talks about missile defense, and the reaction of Putin has to be seen.
~ Interviewer: "NATO claims that the missile shield was not built against you but against Iran".
Putin: "You really makes me laugh. God bless you, because it's almost time to finish the day, indeed it is already time to go to sleep. At least I get home in good humor".

Hubert Zaypel (the "journalist") looks like a Tribe member, but most certainly is an arrogant jerk with his smug, superior(!) deadpan expression in response to Putin's laugh and comment.
Compared to Putin, he is a babbling low IQ idiot, (just look at the reality of the situation and the difference between the two) who actually (and obviously) thinks, that he is superior to Putin. The idiot (Zaypel) thinks that his question is actually legitimate; he's so stupid, that he is unable to comprehend how ridiculous the notion is, that the deployed missiles are against "Iranian rockets"

Why Not Stop Attacking Russia? by Karl Müller
...And while NATO states and the European Union have set a goal - from 1990-1991, that is to say since the demise of the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Union, despite their promises to the Soviet government of the day - to "appropriate" the East from the West always incorporating more Eastern European states into the Atlantic alliance as well as the EU to weaken Russia and enslave her gradually...
In the 1990s , it seemed that everything was going as planned with Russian President Boris Yeltsin. Russia was gradually sinking into chaos, which spread over all aspects of life in the country, and was on the verge of bankruptcy, politically and economically and socially. In her book "The Shock Doctrine: The rise of disaster capitalism", published in 2007, Naomi Klein showed in great detail how they sought to submit the Russian economy to control the country, notably to capture its raw materials, through American "advice" and the false theory of the benefits of unfettered capitalism, controlled by US financial interests.
The NATO war against Yugoslavia in 1999 marked a turning point. It became impossible to not perceive that the US conception of "a new world order" had all the traits of imperialism whose goal was to submit the world to the "single world power ."...
the means used to attempt to break Russia became less obvious but even more treacherous. And whoever dared to openly challenge these attempts by promoting countermeasures, as in the case of the Russian government for many years, was very unpopular in the West.
Mainstream Western media have played and still play an increasingly doubtful role in this campaign against Russia...
the Western media disclose only and permanently negative information about about Russia. This campaign reached such intensity that the unwary media consumer can only think ill of this country. The negatives cover all areas of life and aim to bring back most of the old prejudices against Russia.
And this despite the continuous action of the Russian government who, for the last 13 years, has consistently proposed cooperation with all countries and for the benefit of all parties...
It is not for the love of the Ukrainian people, but because of a geostrategic purpose, that the European Union has been trying for several years to separate Ukraine away from Russia and to bring it back to the EU itself. We now know that the "orange revolution" in 2004 was in fact an operation of what is now called "Smart Power" in coordination with the European Union and against Russia...
It (the Western media) is careful to not mention the fact that the Russian government had put forward a proposal for an agreement that would have benefited as much the Ukraine and the European Union as Russia, a proposal that was rejected by the European Union...
Unlike the West, where the emphasis is on a model of utilitarian and materialistic politics, the Russian government seems to rely on a conception oriented on the foundations of the Christian church, that is to say putting man and the world in the center of its actions. Where do we still find this in the West? What Western government still claims this design in favor of the family, religion and the nation for the benefit of people and progress? Who in the West is concerned that without stable relationships with "the other" the development of the personality disintegrates in superficiality and indifference when there is lack of support and loss of identity?...

Equinix to Provide Data Center and Connectivity Infrastructure for Social Network Application Leader Slide
Foster City, CA — August 18, 2008 — Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the leading global provider of network-neutral data centers and Internet exchange services, today announced that Slide, the world's largest producer of applications for social networks, has deployed operations at Equinix's Washington, D.C.-5 Internet Business Exchange™ (IBX®) center in Ashburn, VA. The move will enable Slide to operate within a high performance data center environment that offers the most efficient connectivity infrastructure for linking to its social network partners and to its more than 150 million users around the world.
Slide offers people the ability to engage and have fun with one another using the relationships they've already developed on social networks such as Facebook and MySpace. Slide's applications rely upon fast and stable links to end-users and to the social networks where the applications are available.
Slide will use Equinix's network-rich data center environment to directly connect with an aggregation of strategic partners within the same physical location. By operating within this Internet ecosystem and by conveniently connecting to these partners through the Equinix Exchange central switching fabric, Slide will have the opportunity to directly link with these companies, rather than connecting to them in multiple, disparate locations and over long distances. This direct connectivity reduces bottlenecks in the path between content and end-users, providing improved performance levels and reductions in transit costs.
Equinix's DC5 center will also provide Slide with a secure and redundant physical infrastructure. Power operations at the center include a high-performance backup system that provides uninterrupted power even in the event of utility power disruption. Security features include interlocking "mantrap" doors, multiple layers of biometric hand-geometry scanners controlling access, as well as 24-hour security officers and hundreds of surveillance cameras.
"Slide requires fast and reliable connectivity to our partner social networking sites to ensure the best possible user experience with our applications," said Ken Brownfield, Director of Operations at Slide. "Equinix's Washington, D.C. area campus is one of the most well connected data centers on the East Coast and it made the top of our list when we evaluated options for our East Coast expansion."
"With more than 150 million users around the world, Slide is an innovator in developing applications that leverage the growing popularity of social networking sites," said Margie Backaus, chief business officer of Equinix. "At Equinix, Slide has access to a one-stop location to more efficiently reach their partners and users, while operating within premium data centers that provide high levels of performance and reliability."

Parallels updates Mac OS X virtualisation tool
Pleades Vista, 'fast' 3D support
Windows-on-Mac software specialist Parallels has updated its Parallels Desktop virtual machine software, offering the new version in a pre-release test-only form. The upgrade packs in more than a dozen new features and fixes, the company said.
Those features most likely to appeal to Mac users keen to run Windows XP, include accelerated video performance, support for a wider range of USB devices - including Windows Mobile 5.0 smart phones and PDAs - full-screen operation fixes, and the ability to turn off the hard disk data cache Mac OS X maintains for virtual machines running within Parallels Desktop. That alone, the company said, can yield better Mac OS X performance. Or you can re-enable it for better virtual machine speed.
Separately, in an interview with Macworld US, Parallels said it is working on Windows Vista support, DVD burning, and adding "fast" 3D graphics support to the virtual machines its software enables.
Parallels' update is available here along with a list of tweaks.
The release of the update follows virtualisation veteran VMware's formal entry into the Mac OS X market and news from Microsoft that it will develop no further releases of Virtual PC. ®

DeVos Crowned International Rolex Regatta, OtterBox® Melges 32 Virgin Islands Sailing Series Event No. 2 Champion
24 March 2013
St. Thomas, USVI - The final day of racing at the 2013 OtterBox® Melges 32 Virgin Islands Sailing Series Event No. 2, held in conjunction with the 40th Anniversary edition of the International Rolex Regatta, hosted by the St. Thomas Yacht Club (STYC) awarded 21-year old Dalton DeVos on Delta division honors. In addition to winning his first ever Melges 32 regatta, he also went home with one of four Rolex watches presented as International Regatta trophies.
DeVos first sailed in the fleet at the raw age of 18, alongside of his father Doug. Now, some three years later, Dalton has driven his Delta Melges 32 to victory in St. Thomas accompanied by none other than world famous tactican Jonathan McKee and crew comprised of Morgan Reeser, Zach Hurst, Cody Schlup, William Sleeman, Linda Lindquist-Bishop and Nate Smith.
Finishing a proud second overall was Jason Carroll aboard Argo, followed by Richard Goransson's Inga From Sweden in third.
The last triptych of races were held offshore in comparison to the previous days 'bay style' racing. Windward/leeward configurations, a solid 2-3 feet of chop and an absolutely near perfect 12-15 knots of breeze greeted the nine-strong fleet for the final Sunday afternoon showdown. From the very start, it appeared that boat speed would play a big part in the success of whoever came out on top. It would be an absolute necessity to win.
Ryan DeVos on Volpe came out with all guns firing upwind. After a great start, he took an immediate lead to round the mark in first, chased by Roberto Tomasini Grinover's Robertissima and Mark Plaxton on INTAC. Ryan extended throughout the race taking the win, Tomasini Grinover was second while Plaxton settled for third.
Race Two placed Carroll out front fast. He punched it on the starting line extending almost instantly. Ryan DeVos tried chasing him down but his effort was futile despite his own separation from the fleet in an effort to catch Carroll. Carroll easily took the win, followed by Ryan DeVos, and Tomasini Grinover finished up in third.
The stage was now set for a grande finale style face-off. Dalton DeVos had finished a disappointing sixth in the second race of the day. This result, combined with Carroll's bullet meant the two were tied in points - 24 each. It was going to be do or die, as every spectator held their breath for the start. Carroll was hot off the pin end, while DeVos took to the committee boat side, splitting the difference from the get go — Carroll left and DeVos right. Tomasini Grinover beat the fleet to the top mark to take a solid lead ahead of Goransson in second. Carroll and Dalton DeVos battled hard as the two rounded almost dead last. DeVos found some clean air on the first run to the gate eventually leaving Carroll behind. Tomasini triumphed to take the race bullet, Goransson claimed second while DeVos rallied to finish third and won the overall regatta title and trophy.
Fantastic prizes awaited the Melges 32 teams at the beachside awards ceremony held during the early evening at STYC. Prizes included gorgeous event trophies, OtterBox® Virgin Island Sailing Series and a beautiful Rolex watch for the overall division winner. OtterBox® prizes were also supplied to the other winning teams at the prize giving such as defender cases, lanyards and product vouchers.
The International Rolex Regatta marks the second stop on the OtterBox® Virgin Island Sailing Series. With two events complete, Jason Carroll is now the new series leader, ahead of Roberto Tomasini Grinover by one little point. Seated third and fourth are Ryan DeVos and Richard Goransson with equal points. Thanks to a nice win in St. Thomas, Dalton DeVos rounds out the top five.
As with every event there are tons of individuals that deserve high recognition. Without their support and assistance, the second edition of the OtterBox® M32VISS would not have been possible. The International Melges 32 Class Association (IM32CA) wishes to thank PRO Dave Brennan and his impeccable race committee for their hard work and great race management. A very special thanks to event host, the St. Thomas Yacht Club, and most especially a multitude of thanks to Bill Canfield and Peter Holmberg for their warm welcome and constant help with getting the fleet well acclimated to U.S. Virgin Islands life.
The International Melges 32 Class Association would like to also thank specifically the incredible customer service and product support provided by Melges USA and Melges Europe. Both Andy Burdick and Federico Michetti were on hand in St. Thomas servicing the Melges 32 fleet.

How to create a cool site?
Before calling, ordering or buying goods we look for information online. We visit dozens of websites. Picky, we comb through websites; super service, wonderful prices and free coffee will fail to attract us if we do not like the site.
How to create a cool website? Here are some tips:
1. Create for visual learners
The world is ruled by visual learners who think in visual images. The most important thing for them is not what they hear or feel, but what they see. They consume loads of designs and have an intuitive feeling of what is stylish and appropriate. They have highly developed visual memory, so images remain in their memory for a long time. Such people need websites with emotional images, correct colours and catchy sections.
2. Show that you are cool
Do not be shy. You love what you do and you are good at it. Present yourself as best as you can. Tell us how and with whom you create a product or service, why you are better at it than your rivals, why the goods or services you offer your customers are better. Fill your website with a generous amount of examples of goods or services, articles, pictures of the staff, your office or production plant.
3. Adapt
Mobile traffic is growing at a staggering rate. In 2018 it will be 79% of the Internet traffic. 80-90% of purchases from online shopping sites were made from mobile devices. That is why websites are adaptive. Battles are fought on small screens. And yes, one more fact: search engines rank websites not adapted for mobile devices lower. Oh, these giants...
4. Write inspired texts for your site
Imagine speaking with a client face to face. Avoid phrases like "rapidly growing company", "quality service" and "unconditional professionalism". Actions speak louder than words, so you are sure to describe the advantages of the product. Show production facilities, what you have achieved over the last months and what you are proud of. The same applies to the text on your website (understandable, without intricate and meaningless constructions).
5. Offer "goodies"
People love gifts. Offer them a cup of coffee, a souvenir with your logo, sweets, a discount or a free service: exceed their expectations. Specify the goodie they will be given upon ordering on your website.
6. Take action
Even if you are a perfectionist. Do not delay launching a new site just because you are not sure whether a shade of blue or a background picture is good enough. Launch it and start making money, introducing improvements as you go along.
7. Work with experts
You are good at your job, web designers are good at their. Let them create a website while you are establishing processes.
8. Do not fear change
Web design is as susceptible to trends as fashion. What used to be detailed now is flat and tomorrow will be interactive. Regard a website design as a temporary phenomenon, which you will have to constantly change.
Still have questions?
Contact the manager
I manage online and offline projects with small budgets and poor deadlines, so, I am all the time looking for new ways to launch projects quicker and cheaper. It needs hour-by-hour planning. Now I am launching a few of own projects per year, running the truly small team. How I manage this? I tell about in my
. It is a pleasure for me make my articles are useful.

TEMECULA, Calif.—Officials say a hot air balloon exploded after landing in Southern California wine country leaving four people hospitalized, one of them with severe burns.
The Riverside County Fire Department says the balloon was carrying five people when it landed Saturday morning in vineyards near Temecula and an explosion occurred.
Fire officials say one person was severely burned. Two others had serious injuries, one had minor injuries and one person walked away safely.
Names and details about those on board were not immediately released.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the incident as they do most aircraft crashes.
Hot air balloons often dot the sky on weekends in the area 60 miles north of San Diego.
