Smartphones are an essential part of our daily lives from driving, grocery shopping and talking or texting our loved ones. Smartphones are an integral part of our daily lives that we cannot live with or without whether we're a tween, teen, a busy mother on the go, a father recording his son's first home run or a grandparent's joy at seeing photographs of their first grandchild. Smartphone applications are a reflection of that diversity and individuality of every Smartphone user from the most necessary to the funniest applications available for every Smartphone user. Here's a list of the Top 10 Funniest Applications for Smartphones:
1) Pocket God is an episodic and exciting application available for Android and Apple Smartphones that allows its users or players to determine what type of God they would be if they were all powerful. Players can choose whether they're a benevolent or vengeful God of their very own island with up to six islanders per island, an availability of five different islands and a number of forces of nature are yours to control and manipulate. Pocket God is a fun application for any Smartphone user especially if you have a little time to kill, after all its not everyday your God of your own island.
2) AgingBooth is your more than typical application that shows people what they might look like when they get older. AgingBooth was launched by PiVi & Co the creators of both FatBooth and BaldBooth, some of the most popular iPhone 4S application. Now AgingBooth for Android is available to download for free on the Android Market.
3) The Moron Test is currently one of the best selling applications well…since the introduction of the Smartphone with millions of players worldwide. The Moron Test features simple, addicting gameplay, five sections featuring hundreds of fun puzzles and even hilarious characters, sound effects, and music.
4) BaldBooth is similar to AgingBooth and instead shows the user what they might look like if they had no hair rather than simply being older. BaldBooth is a hilariously fun way to instantly make people bald on photo with your HTC OneX and other smartphone which can be shared with family, friends or colleagues via email, MMS, FaceBook, and Twitter.
5) Talking Lila the Fairy will allow Smartphone users to discover Lila's world of magic and songs. Lila is a flower fairy that lives in a meadow who loves to sing and cast magical spells over the Smartphone users like Nokia Lumia 900, Galaxy S3, etc. Lila the Fairy can create flowers, animals, stars and other items with the help of her fairy dust.
6) Talking Santa is a free Smartphone application that lets you tickle Santa and make him laugh, you can also poke or slap him but that may cause Santa not to give you gifts anymore. If you're nice to Santa by bringing him milk and cookies or naughty by running him over with a giant snowball will determine what types if any presents he brings you for Christmas.
7) GhostRadar is a paranormal application for the Ghost-hunters in your life. The GhostRadar will continuously run sensors on your Smartphone to determine if there is anything strange happening around the user. GhostRadar applications has set the standard in ghost hunting because it analyzes the readings from sensors giving indications only when interesting patterns in the readings have been made and has a voice to let you know when interesting words have been detected.
8) Talking Tom Cat is your perfect pet cat that responds to your touch and repeats everything you say. He can be especially fun for children and even allows you to record your own videos of Tom Cat and share them on YouTube and even Facebook.
9) SackDude: If you're feeling a little stressed or a little irritable, Sack Dude is your interactive Smartphone stress ball. So if you're having a rough day, just remember Sack Dude can be smacked, set on fire, tickled or electrocuted and is your perfect stress reliever.
10) FatBooth: if you are feeling a little fat FatBooth will really show you might look like carrying those few extra pounds. Or if you are having a really bad hair day FatBooth could make you feel much better about how you look now.
The Good News is that all these applications only cost $.99.

My seats for Game Two vs. Saint John. Not pictured: Frk scoring half a dozen goals, the chunky kid who ruined 75% of the photos I tried to take.
It's been a while since I updated the blog or made an attempt to post. While traffic soared during January and February thanks in large to a lot of good posts, I was incredibly busy with life in February and March, and got quite ill the last few weeks with some kind of bizarre chest cold that sapped the life out of me. I'm on the mend but between work and life it's been hard to maintain some kind of consistency in terms of writing. Kudos to the fellas at Winging it in Motown for keeping things interesting the past few weeks. If you don't already participate in the game threads like I do from time to time, you should join in on the shenanigans. All your favorite WIIM guys are there acting silly. Sometimes JJ gets stern but someone has to, otherwise we all go insane.
Special shoutout to Graham Hathway for a rather controversial post about the now-signed Daniel DeKeyser. While some disagreed that missing the boat on signing DeKeyser would be a miserable failure, Graham had some excellent points in the article he wrote and the comment section about his value to the Red Wings. What was more interesting about the article Graham wrote was the bizarre assault "GallopingGreg" attempted on Graham and his analysis. It was a real treat to see the Red Wings community throttle Graham's would-be nemesis. He didn't have a leg to stand on at any point and it's a beautiful thing to see the community come together to dispatch a troll. Anyway, please send your love to Graham over at Winging it in Motown or Twitter. He's Canadian, which instantly makes him more likable than all other Red Wings fans. Just kidding. Sorry.
Time to get down to business. The QMJHL regular season ended recently and it was a very interesting final 20 games or so for the Moosehead, as Nathan MacKinnon got injured near the end of the season and while he's back now, there was concern the team would struggle without him. Enter Marty Frk. In the month of February, Frk played in 11 games, scoring 11 goals and 20 points with a plus/minus of 10 and 14 PIM. In March, Frk played in 9 games, scoring 4 and registering 11 points with a plus/minus of just +1 and 8 PIM. Frk finished the regular season with 56 games played, 35 goals, 49 assists, 84 points, a plus/minus of +31, 84 PIM, which was all good for 13th in QMJHL scoring. Frk was quite impressive in the final three months of the season, matching the creativity of his linemates and future first round draft picks Nathan MacKinnon and Jonathan Drouin.
I was able to attend a couple of games in the final months of the regular season and I had a few follow up thoughts to Frk's impressive scoring run at the end of the season. The biggest lesson learned from Frkwatch is that Frk possess that rare game-breaking ability that generational forwards like his idols Jaromir Jagr and Sergei Fedorov have. Marty Frk is the kind of player who can take over a game and use his offensive prowess to frustrate and stifle defenses and goaltenders with a blistering shot and his uncanny ability to find open ice. He has a real nose for the net and finding the right place to be when it comes to scoring. Junior hockey is one thing but Frk always looked out of place with the Moose, if only because he already knows how to play the offensive weapon role he is most suited for. Obviously his development required him to "grow up" in junior, but he possesses an offensive maturity that fueled both his game and MacKinnon and Drouin's throughout the season. That line was lethal whenever it was on the ice.
Unfortunately, Frk's strength is also his biggest weakness: his ability to make the game all about him caused some trouble when it came to penalties. Early in the season, Frk struggled to get into form due in large part to the leg injury he sustained late in the summer. Frk's "double tap" skating method (which I covered earlier in the season), caused him to very slowly leave the offensive zone and lag behind very slowly on backcheck. This backchecking improved drastically as the season went on, but Frk's tendency to take stupid penalties, namely retaliatory ones, never faded. A lot of this is mental maturity: it's hard to be critical of a nineteen year old kid bound for the NHL, but rather than pretend this player has no flaws, I'll lay it out there as I see it. Frk may be able to take over a game, but his tendency to pester defenses and retaliate when they use their physical frames to push him around is a glaring weakness in his game.
The 84 PIMs are an early warning sign of a particular attitude on the ice. No, Frk isn't a whiner or a diver or the kind of player who won't own up to his mistakes. Frk is intense. He wants the puck and wants to lead the forecheck and he wants all passes directed to him. I would argue this nature is precisely the kind of aggression Fedorov and Jagr expressed during the early years of their career, before defense became a top concern. Frk has that special nature and while it comes with a propensity to draw dumb penalties, that immaturity will wain in time as Frk learns to play a two way game in Detroit. At the very least, the lack of defensive responsibility will be hammered out of him in Grand Rapids, where he will no doubt spend the next two seasons.
The "Frk Yeah" saying will no doubt be abused by Red Wings fans for years to come (provided he isn't traded for an overpaid defensemen) and has already become a regularly occurring rally cry on Winging it in Motown's game threads. Halifax Moosehead fans have been saying "Frk Yeah" for a few years and were going crazy at the Metro Centre on Friday March 22nd when the playoffs began for the QMJHL. Frk kicked off the playoffs with a show of his skills, scoring a Moosehead record five goals and three assists for eight points with a plus/minus of 4 in an 11-1 thumping of the Saint John Sea Dogs. Frk finished the four game sweep with six goals and four assists, good for fourth among playoff scorers in the Q League playoff scorers. He's tied with teammate Johnathan Drouin, for what it's worth. Here are the highlights of the game:
The eight point night is the perfect example of what Frk is capable of when he takes over a game. I was there for the second game where the Moose eaked out a one goal victory. Frk was all over the ice trying to make the offense run. Unfortunately Frk had a blank score sheet but had 5 shots on goal. Here are a couple of pictures and a video I took at the game:
As the Moose wait to commence their second round matchup against whatever ragamuffin team ekes out a win to face them, there's time to reflect on the strength of their opening round win. Kudos to Saint John goaltender Sebastien Auger for trying to keep his team in Game Two, but holy crap did that kid ever get hammered in goal. The second round is going to be slightly more difficult for the Moose, so expect more 4-1 or 5-2 scores. Can Frk keep up the production and lead the Moose to the Memorial Cup? Stay tuned to Frkwatch.
In the meantime, if you want to talk more about the Mooseheads (Meesehead?) please drop a line in the comment section, or shoot me a tweet at my Twitter, @wizofozblog.

Chile Repellent To Help Protect Endangered Species, Jan 4, 2000
SOCORRO, N.M., Jan 4, 2000 - Dr. Daniel H. López, President of New Mexico Tech, announced today that a consortium of associated scientists has successfully tested Tech's patented non-toxic, all-natural, chile pepper-based repellent to help control the destructive impact of the rosy wolfsnail (Euglandia rosea). Rosy, a carnivorous snail which is native to the southeastern United States, has caused the total extinction of several snail species and threatens the extinction of additional snail species in Hawaii as well as other islands in the Pacific and Indian oceans. Conservationists are attempting to protect remaining snail populations by preventing Rosy's intrusion into non-infested areas and by protecting captive breeding colonies of endangered species. Tech's patented process molecularly bonds capsaicin, the natural "heat" of the chile pepper, into paints, stains, plastics, and other rubberized materials.
Roger Klocek, Director of Conservation at Chicago's John G. Shedd Aquarium and a specialist on the rosy wolfsnail, introduced the endangered species threat to Lorenzo Torres, an affiliate of New Mexico Tech who was instrumental in discovering and patenting the chile-based repellent. Klocek and Torres, along with Timothy A. Early of the Aquatic Research Institute in East Chicago, Indiana, participated in the design and implementation of the Euglandia rosea laboratory studies.
Dr. López stated: "We are particularly pleased that our process might make another significant contribution to our ecology by helping protect an endangered species that cannot protect itself." Klocek added, "These pilot studies certainly prove that rosy wolfsnails will not willingly cross materials containing the naturally repelling properties of chile pepper. By building special preserves surrounded by these materials we believe we can protect endangered snail species from the rosy wolfsnail. This could be a significant breakthrough." Field studies are currently being designed by Torres and Dr. Michael Hadfield, professor of zoology, University of Hawaii.
Earlier studies conducted by the Aquatic Research Institute demonstrated that zebra mussels were very effectively repelled by coatings created through Tech's patented process. Additional research conducted at New Mexico Tech and Texas A&M proved the efficacy of such repellents on a wide range of pests including rodents and other terrestrial mammals, a variety of saltwater species, wood-boring birds, and insects, including termites.
The patent is owned by New Mexico Tech Research Foundation, a not-for-profit institution which supports the scientific and research efforts of New Mexico Tech.

Dance Ensemble Punctuates Festival of the Cranes Week
SOCORRO, N.M. November 15, 2012 – Nature in her fall elegance on display at the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, and grace and beauty onstage at New Mexico Tech's Macey Center – what a delightful time to be in Socorro and enjoy it all.
The Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble is a world-renowned troupe based in Denver. The group will perform Friday at Macey Center.
The Ensemble performs a dynamic body of work inspired by the African-American experience, and rooted in ethnic and modern dance traditions worldwide.
The performance coincides with the 20th annual Festival of the Cranes, which brings thousands of visitors to town for the week-long celebration at the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge.
"This is just a great way to showcase two Socorro County treasures – the Bosque del Apache, and our own Performing Arts Series, both tremendous assets to this small city in the Rio Grande Valley of New Mexico," said Ronna Kalish, Performing Arts Series director and community volunteer.
"The PAS couldn't be more pleased to have the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble in town to help close out Festival week," Kalish said. "We're hoping that Festival visitors will join us at Macey Center for what is going to be a superlative performance."
The troupe will be busy with educational youth performances and workshops at Macey Center, Alamo-Navajo and Magdalena Schools, in keeping with the PAS mission of educational outreach. There will be a free dance workshop Wednesday, Nov. 14, 6:30-8:30pm at the Rising Star Dance Studio on the Plaza (south of the U.S. Post Office) for youth and adults with some dance experience.
Dance aficionados will recognize the name of Cleo Parker Robinson as founder, executive artistic director and choreographer of the 40-year-old Denver-based artistic institution that bears her name. Ms. Parker Robinson, who taught her first dance class at the University of Colorado when she was only 15, leads a professional dance ensemble, youth ensemble, a school of dance, an International Summer Dance Institute, a 300-seat eponymous theater, and a vast number of community outreach programs.
Her philosophy of "One Spirit, Many Voices" is reflected in all she does, and is the vision she brings to everyone she meets, everywhere she goes.
"Cleo Parker Robinson is highly respected in artistic circles," Kalish said.
In 2007, Ms. Parker Robinson received the Kennedy Center Medal of Honor during its Masters of African American Choreographers series. More recently, the Anti-Defamation League honored her with its Civil Rights Award, and the Urban League of Metropolitan Denver bestowed on her the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Humanitarian Award.
She continues to receive accolades from civic, community, and artistic organizations around the world, and brings her Ensemble for performances, workshops, master classes, and motivational seminars in a variety of venues.
The Ensemble performs a dynamic body of work inspired by the African-American experience, and rooted in ethnic and modern dance traditions worldwide.
The Ensemble performs regularly for Denver audiences, including three major concerts each year. As a National Cultural Treasure, the Ensemble tours nationwide throughout the year, and has performed in many prestigious venues and festivals such as New York City's Lincoln Center, American Dance Festival, The Kennedy Center, The Joyce Theater, and Jacob's Pillow.
As Cultural Ambassadors, the Ensemble has toured around the world to more than 20 countries including Nigeria, Egypt, Peru, Germany, Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Singapore, Israel, Kenya and South Africa.
According to program literature, the Ensemble has a diverse repertoire of dances, the oldest with a premier date of 1983, and the newest from this year. For example, "Escapades" which premiered 29 years ago, was choreographed by the late American dance icon, Alvin Ailey, to an original composition by legendary drummer Max Roach.
Two dances premiered in 2012 – "Fusion," an original work by Haitian choreographer Jeanguy Saintus (to be performed in Socorro); and "Conversations," choreographed by Nathan Trice. These stories, told in dance to polyrhythmic music, embrace the emotional themes that reflect the African-American experience through power and passion, live and onstage.
The Performing Arts Series depends on outside funding to cover the cost of bringing big city style entertainment to the rural community of Socorro. Sponsors for the Ensemble are the City of Socorro, New Mexico Educators Federal Credit Union, New England Foundation for the Arts, Western States Arts Federation, National Endowment for the Arts, El Camino Restaurant a Lounge and Holiday Inn Express.
Tickets are $16 for adults, $14 for senior citizens 65 and over, and $8 for youths 17 and under, and are available at the Tech Cashier's Office (second floor of Fidel Center), Brownbilt Shoes and Western Wear, Burrito Tyme drive-up, by calling 575-835-5688 or at the door.

INTERPOL's Project Eden, targeting the illegal trade and disposal of waste, has been officially launched during the INTERPOL Environmental Compliance and Enforcement events in Kenya.
Through Project Eden, INTERPOL aims to raise the profile of this transnational crime which in addition to threatening the quality of the global environment and posing a significant risk to human health, also undermines international conventions, undercuts legitimate treatment facilities and causes economic harm due to the loss of recoverable raw materials.
The need to address crime trends threatening the quality of the environment including electronic waste and other waste streams, such as tyres and used batteries, were key issues during the 18th INTERPOL Pollution Crime Working Group meeting earlier this week also in Nairobi which brought together nearly 70 participants from 35 countries.
Under Project Eden, INTERPOL will develop its work in building law enforcement capacity to detect illegal shipments and dumping sites, and promote information sharing and intelligence-led enforcement to help identify and disrupt the criminal networks behind illicit trafficking in waste.
"The impact of pollution caused by the dumping and mishandling of waste is global, affecting the quality of our air, water and soil," said Cees van Duijn, a Specialized Officer with INTERPOL's Environmental Security Unit.
"Through Project Eden INTERPOL will support its member countries in their efforts to implement national legislation and regulate the international movement of waste to ensure healthier local environments and help protect the overall integrity of our environment worldwide," added Mr Van Duijn.
With the recent launch of the Countering WEEE Illegal Trade (CWIT) Project, INTERPOL and its partners will conduct extensive research into the illegal e-waste market in Europe and provide technical and policy recommendations.
A number of operations targeting specific waste streams – including electronic waste between Europe and Africa and hazardous waste between the United States and Canada – have already been coordinated by INTERPOL.

The Lions were hoping to get a half out of starting quarterback Matthew Stafford on Saturday night, but they will have to settle for a bit more than a quarter.
Shaun Hill has replaced Stafford in the second quarter of their game against the Raiders after Stafford had to leave the game with a left hand injury. Stafford appeared to hit the hand on a helmet when Raiders defensive end Dave Tollefson hit him to force a third down incompletion.
The Lions are calling his return questionable, although you can downgrade Stafford to out if you're keeping your own injury list at home. Stafford won't be back after halftime and the Lions aren't going to push their quarterback back into the game with any chance of making whatever's wrong with his non-throwing hand any worse than it already is.
Stafford was 8-of-10 for 68 yards in the game. Calvin Johnson didn't have any catches while Stafford was in the game, although it's not clear if that was because of Ron Bartell's coverage or if the Lions were looking to see what others could do in their third preseason contest.

Burleson's true height and other Carolina-State notes
Bobby Jones shoots over a leaping David Thompson during the early 1970s, when the UNC-N.C. State basketball rivalry was at one of its peaks. The two teams could play Sunday for the first time ever in the NCAA tournament. (Photo courtesy of UNC sports information)
I wrote a long story today about the Carolina-State basketball rivalry, which once was the pre-eminent hoops rivalry in North Carolina. Although it has been usurped by UNC-Duke over the past three decades, all eyes will be on both programs if they can advance tonight in the NCAA Sweet 16. Then they would play each other for a spot in the Final Four Sunday afternoon.
The story had to be cut in The Charlotte Observer due to lack of space (although the extended version was published in full in the print edition The [Raleigh] News & Observer) and is also online here.
Here are a couple of outtakes that I thought you might enjoy from the story that didn't make it into The Observer's print edition:
Lennie Rosenbluth – the eventual national player of the year over Wilt Chamberlain in 1957 with a career scoring average of 26.9 – almost went to N.C. State. Everett Case had offered the New York high school player a scholarship, Rosenbluth said, and then had Rosenbluth down to Raleigh in 1952 to visit the campus.
While there, Case asked Rosenbluth to work out with some other players. Rosenbluth – out of shape and wearing unfamiliar basketball shoes that blistered his feet – was "terrible," he said. He hadn't been prepared for what turned out to be a tryout.
Case told Rosenbluth at the end of the visit he couldn't give him a scholarship after all. Frank McGuire happily did so instead.
"But maybe if I had gone to State I would have never played much," Rosenbluth said. "So it all came out fine."
The programs interweave in many ways. Many years later, Rosenbluth would coach a young point guard in the Miami area that Rosenbluth thought would be a great fit at North Carolina.
"But once he met Jim Valvano, it was over," Rosenbluth said. "Valvano was a lot like McGuire – similar personalities, great salesmen – and so even though I didn't like his decision, I could understand why."
That point guard was Chris Corchiani.
Burleson – who also was recruited hard by UNC but picked the Wolfpack – felt the same way. He still remembers a State-Carolina game in Reynolds in 1972 when he noticed a few State fans waving behind the glass while UNC's George Karl attempted two free throws.
Burleson was on the bench, having fouled out. But he rose up and waved his arms wildly, trying to incite the fans.
"That was the night that the distraction of fans waving behind the boards really began," Burleson said. "I helped get that going."
Karl missed both free throws and N.C. State eventually won. As Burleson remembers it now, UNC coach Dean Smith called Burleson's act "the worst sportsmanship in the world."
ONE ADDITIONAL NOTE: (This didn't make it into either newspaper, but I thought it was interesting): Burleson was always listed at 7-foot-4 at N.C. State. But he said that was a marketing gimmick and that he wasn't that tall – he was never measured even once while in Raleigh, he said. His actual height, Burleson said, was 7-foot-2, and he wishes that he had been listed that way for his whole career in Raleigh. Burleson said the first time he ever jumped center in the NBA against Lew Alcindor (before he changed his name to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar), Alcindor looked him dead in the eye and said, "You're not 7-4."
"You're right, Lew," Burleson replied. "I'm not. I never was."

I recall Tom Burleson saying during his playing days that his basketball stats included his height measured while wearing shoes. When asked why, he said "I wear shoes when I play basketball".
- March 23, 2012 at 9:36 AM
Burleson calling Kareem Lew is proof of his idiocy, Alcindor became Jabbar before Burleson ever arrived in the NBA.
- March 23, 2012 at 10:19 AM
Lew had won a ring before he changed his name. All this information at your fingertips and people still make uninformed comments...do your homework
- March 23, 2012 at 10:30 AM
State stinks! They'll lose tonight by 15. Go Jayhawks!!
- March 23, 2012 at 10:51 AM
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar changed his name on May 1, 1971. Tommy Burleson did not start playing in the NBA until October of 1974.
- March 23, 2012 at 12:06 PM
Great coaching pedigrees at these 2 schools...
Dean Smith, Everett Case, Valvano, Ole Roy, and Frank McGuire may be the 2nd-6th greatest coaches in ACC history...
- March 23, 2012 at 12:56 PM
Yeah, Burleson's comment reminds me of why we don't like State all that much. Interestingly during all of his years at UNC, Dean Smith actively discouraged the students from waving their hands or distracting opposing players during free throws. On more than one occasion, Dean would grab the microphone and insist that the students not berate opposing players or wave their hands. After leaving Carmichael for the Smith Center and as the tone of student behavior began to be set by people like the students at Duke, Dean had less and less control over this but his actions do harken back to a time when sportsmanship was much more valued as an attribute.
- March 23, 2012 at 2:34 PM
When I think of Tom Burleson, I think of the 1974 ACC final between teh eventual NCAA champs NCSU and MD. For my money, the greatest basketball game ever played. That was probably the best team Maryland has ever had, and their misfortune was that State had probably their best ever that year as well.
- March 23, 2012 at 2:43 PM
I also remember Dean Smith preaching sportsmanship in his news conferences and tv show. Then, Dean went out and led the league in technical fouls year after year.

Dr. Jennifer Young Tait, a member of the Hope College English faculty since 2002, died Saturday (March 19) after suffering complications from premature childbirth.
The college has been advised that Professor Young began to feel unwell a few days ago. Her health began to deteriorate and she was taken to Grand Rapids for more advanced care. Her baby - Solomon - was delivered early and the college has been told that while he is small he is otherwise healthy and being care for at DeVos Children's Hospital.
"Jennifer Young was a fine teacher-scholar who modeled for students what it meant to find joy in learning. She was a wonderful mentor, a valued colleague, and a trusted friend. Her loss will be felt far beyond the confines of the English Department. Indeed, the entire Hope College community will miss her terribly," said Hope College Provost Richard Ray.
"Jennifer Young loved teaching, and she loved literature. I can't imagine a more joyful colleague, a more devoted professor, or a more promising scholar. I worked with her in Holland, Michigan, and in Liberia, West Africa; Jennifer was a star in whatever company she entered. She was my friend, and I will miss her terribly," said Dr. David Klooster, chair of the Department of English.
Added colleague Dr. Julie Kipp, Professor of English: "Jennifer was a devoted scholar, who loved to do research, and who was always juggling multiple writing projects, including creative writing projects. She was a gifted teacher, who started classes off with musical jam sessions as a way to create good energy and always thanked students for their comments in discussion. She was an amazing wife, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, granddaughter, goddaughter, and friend. She believed in ghosts. She loved music, yoga, old jewelry, chocolate martinis (in moderation), and raptivist music. She was incredibly excited about becoming a mother."
Hope College began its spring break on Friday so college officials have been communicating this news to faculty, staff and students by email.
The Hope College Class of 2008 named Dr. Young the recipient of the "Hope Outstanding Professor Educator" (H.O.P.E.) Award which is presented by the graduating class to the professor who they feel epitomizes the best qualities of the Hope College educator.
Young, who was an associate professor of English, was one of the first faculty members that the members of the the Class of 2008 encountered when they arrived on campus as freshmen in August of 2004. She co-delivered the address during that year's Opening Convocation, which marked the formal beginning of the academic year.
Her service to Hope College students has included serving on several campus committees and as a co-advisor to the Black Student Union student organization.
In 2009 she was appointed an Andrew W. Mellon Fellow to continue her scholarly work at the Huntington Memorial Library in San Marino, Calif. She recently had been awarded a New Directions Initiatives grant by the Great Lakes Colleges Association.
Prior to joining the Hope faculty she was a Preparing Future Faculty pre-doctoral teaching fellow during the 2002-03 school year, a program in which Hope participates with Howard University of Washington, D.C.
Her scholarly interests included early writers of the African Diaspora
(pre-1865); African-American literature; jazz and hip-hop as literature; and creative writing. Her dissertation, which she completed in 2004, focused on the marketing from 1767 to 1865 of the poetry of Phillis Wheatley, who was kidnapped from Africa as a child and wrote as a slave in Boston, Mass.
Prior to coming to Hope, Dr. Young was a multicultural summer teaching fellow at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. She had also taught at Howard, as well as at Touro College and the Center for Worker Education in New York City.
In addition to her Ph.D. from Howard University, Dr. Young held a bachelor's degree from Douglass College of Rutgers University and a master's from City College of CUNY of New York City.
She is survived by her husband, Ralph Tait, of Holland and family in
Indianapolis, Ind.
A funeral service will be held Friday, March 25, at 11 a.m. at the
Grace Episcopal Church in Holland.
The family has requested that in lieu of flowers or other memorial gifts, donations can be made to the following fund: Solomon Arthur Young Tait Fund, c/o Grace Episcopal Church, 555 Michigan Avenue, Holland, MI 49423.

The Cadets aim to make their last run a run to remember.
Two-time defending state champion St. Thomas Academy has its sight set on a trifecta. It's the Cadets' last year in Class 1A, and they are doing all they can to leave a lasting impression. With a 3-0 win over Totino-Grace on Friday night in the Class 1A, Section 4 final, they're well on their way.
"We've been here before," St. Thomas co-coach Tom Vannelli said. "These guys know how to get out of the gate."
St. Thomas set up camp around the Eagles' goal early, peppering Totino-Grace's Michael Larson with shots.
Totino strung together enough breakaways to keep the Cadets' hearts pumping late in the game, but St. Thomas' puck control and firepower proved to be the difference. Alex Johnson scored the Cadets' first goal early in the opening period, and sophomore Christiano Versich doubled the margin a dozen minutes later. Tommy Novak hooked a shot in in the game's final minute.
Goalie David Zevnik continued his scoreless streak, racking up his third shutout of the section tournament.
"David didn't have a lot of saves, but he made tough saves," Vannelli said. "Several times it was almost a one-goal game. He really helped us keep our margin."
The Cadets haven't lost to a small-school opponent in three years and have been kings of their class for much longer than that. They will skate in Class 2A next season, joining schools with higher enrollment.

The concentration gradients of the kit standards or positive controls render a theoretical kit detection range in biological research samples containing CRT. The ELISA analytical biochemical technique of the MBS2503103 kit is based on CRT antibody-CRT antigen interactions (immunosorbency) and an HRP colorimetric detection system to detect CRT antigen targets in samples. The ELISA Kit is designed to detect native, not recombinant, CRT. Appropriate sample types may include undiluted body fluids and/or tissue homogenates, secretions. Quality control assays assessing reproducibility identified the intra-assay CV (%) and inter-assay CV(%). TOP Related Product Information for CRT elisa kit Description: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of CRT in human serum, plasma and other biological fluidsPrinciple of the Assay: This ELISA kit uses Sandwich-ELISA as the method. The micro ELISA plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Human CRT. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate micro ELISA plate wells and bound by the specific antibody. Then a biotinylated detection antibody specific for Human CRT and Avidin-Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugate is added to each micro plate well successively and incubated. Free components are washed away. The substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain Human CRT, biotinylated detection antibody and Avidin-HRP conjugate will appear blue in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color turns yellow. The optical density (OD) is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm +/- 2 nm. The OD value is proportional to the concentration of Human CRT. You can calculate the concentration of Human CRT in the samples by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.

When you do any sort of promotion, you need to judge its cost vs. benefit.
Of course, it's rare to actually recoup your time/money investment in any kind of promotion, let alone profit from it. But authors know they have to build brands, and you have to spend money to make money.
That doesn't mean you have to be stupid about it.
Before you do a single thing to promote your book, ask yourself this question:
What is it you want to accomplish?
The more specific your answer, the better job you have of attaining your goal. "Selling 30 books" is provable. "Building name-recognition" is not.
When you've decided on your goal, the next question you need to ask is:
What works on you?
So many authors pursue self-promotional venues without actually thinking about them. There are reasons for this:
1. They know they have to be doing something to promote their book, and it's better to do something than nothing.
2. Everyone else is doing it, so it has to have some merit.
3. They've given zero thought to expectations and return on investment.
The problem with people in general, and the publishing industry in particular, is that very little time is spent analyzing why they do the things they do.
Human nature tends to lean toward self-preservation. This means that people spend more time trying not to look stupid, and justifying their actions, than they do actually thinking about options.
Why do authors go on tours when it's obviously cost ineffective? Why do publishers buy huge ads that could never pay for themselves? Why do authors continue to hire publicists when their fee is never justified by books sold above and beyond what would have been sold anyway?
Because that's the way things have always been done, and humans would rather make excuses for wrong behavior than figure out better mousetraps. No one wants to make decisions, because that requires culpability. So we allow decisions to be made for us by following the same ineffectual paths, and then spend our energy rationalizing their failures.
When I do any sort of promotion, I follow this formula:
1. Decide what you want to accomplish.
2. Decide how much you'll pay to accomplish that, and be able to defend your decision.
3. Figure out a way to judge the effectiveness of your effort.
If that's too complicated, save your time and money and don't promote.

Thanx Chi. It will be good to see em back to back to catch details.
An Einstein quotin' Scifi watchin' woman.... You are Amazing!
|Besotted Scroller
lucy is on next friday
Who do you like best? The old Boomer (RIP ) or this new take charge Boomer?
I miss the old Boomer.
|Besotted Scroller
i kinda like the 'new' boomer
but starbuck is better
|Besotted Scroller
|Scroll Guardian
well....I have no real idea of the over-arcing BSG story, but it was great to see LL.
|Besotted Scroller
Why do they keep saying next weeks show is the season finale..??
the new season of BSG just started, no..??
whats up with that..???
I know!! Maybe they're doing only 6 shows per season. I dunno, but it leaves alot of questions hanging.
Do they NOT realize the cylons true mission is to follow them to earth? I mean really.
I didn't think the writing or storylines were as great as last season. Last season they had a purpose. This season, they're just floating in space.
|Besotted Scroller
*GASP* that never occurred to me !!
but youre right it makes perfect sense...otherwise the Cylon actions are schitzy to say the least....
Very perceptive of you....
Well, it seems the most likely idea. The cylons could easily wipe out the humans, but instead are pushing them away from Caprica (and Kobol) and towards the only other planet they know where to go - earth. Just a theory.
It really irks me that neither Adamo nor the president wants to send help to rescue those military guys back on Caprica. And I remember Starbuck asking the president about them and her reply was something like "until we find earth everything else can wait".
Which makes me always think that she's also a cylon. That's a stretch and I'm probably all wrong, but she's the greatest influence on the usually all military Commander Adamo. It was she who lead him from "We're at War!" to "we lost the war, now let's cut our losses and find earth".
Just a theory, but if she's isn't a cylon, I think there's still some around, and in high positions too.
|Besotted Scroller
Yes! High position Cylons...
I suspect Adama myself....
I also think Starbuck but I cant decide if this one is (now) or if 1 will show up....
I said Duh!
|Besotted Scroller
january 6th.. 10 more episodes
|Besotted Scroller
Its as good as ever...Rivals LOST..
I cant believe these 2 shows just keep finding ways to up the stakes week after week...
Virtually Never a bad ep.
|Besotted Scroller
I watched this again TWICE tonite...
I suppose I should just quote what I posted above...its Exactly what I was thinkin while this loaded....
I said Duh!
|Besotted Scroller
Lucy comes back next week according to the Previews..!!!
I said Duh!
|Besotted Scroller
Im glad to see you are ALL so exicted about Lucys new project...
If youre not watchin this show youre missing something Awesome.
there is a 2 part season finale coming up& then I guess they will replay S2.Val said something about DLing the Season0 miniseries from SciFi site.
That might be a good place to start. if you have Hi-speed Inet.It gets better as they progress.
|Besotted Scroller
i'm watching.. i'm just a few eps behind is all
|Besotted Scroller
Hee hee I wasnt accusing anyone of anything....
*looks about for Cylons*
|Besotted Scroller
VAL used FIle-Share to Download All the eps...
Ive re-watchedSeason 0 &8 eps of S1 in a Marathon
Im even more impressed seeing how it all holds together.
Right from the beginning.
I didnt really realize that.
It slipped past me,first season,how good it was.
Maybe it was the dimming of details week to week.
|Besotted Scroller
They Killed off Ellen Tighe!!!
Kate Vernon's character.
What are they Nutso..???
Maybe she will actually survive...
or maybe,better yet,she will return as a Cylon..!
I said Duh!
|Besotted Scroller
i won't miss her
i will miss KC.. she was such a cutie
more likely gaius will be a cylon
|Besotted Scroller
I dunno... but I suspect Gaius is too stupid selfish & corrupt to be a Cylon...
|Scroller Needing Therapy
Does Sharon know what all the models look like?
|Besotted Scroller
all the models seem to know each other
so i'd say yes
|Besotted Scroller
Hmmm.... what if some models are more Equal than others..??
I dont why they cant clone up regular humans as Cylon doubles...
Of course every guess I have had about this show has been wrong..LOL

From Service to Business – Essential Tools and Programs for Veteran Entrepreneurs
From Service to Business – Essential Tools and Programs for Veteran Entrepreneurs
Are you a veteran or service-disabled veteran? Interested in launching your own business?
According to the latest SBA data, of the 27.1 million non-farm businesses in the U.S., 2.4 million are owned by veterans. Moreover, statistics show that the success rate of these veteran-owned businesses is higher than other startups – perhaps a reflection of the discipline, skills and leadership experience acquired in military service.
There are a number of resources and programs from a variety of government and non-profit associations that are designed specifically to help veterans access the tools, funding and help they need to start and grow their business ventures.
Here's what you need to know:
Getting Started – Online and In-Person Resources
This 10-Step Guide to Starting a Business is essential reading for any entrepreneur, but there are also some very specific resources and in-person assistance programs that can help veterans learn more about the programs available to them. These include:
- Online Resources to Help You Get Started – SBA's Veteran and Service-Disabled Veteran Small Business Guide is a one-stop portal with links to programs and resources, financing information, government contracting opportunities and other resources.
- Veterans Business Outreach Centers – Operated by SBA, these centers provide services such as business training, counseling (in areas such as business planning assistance and concept feasibility) and mentoring (every entrepreneur is teamed with a business counselor). There are 16 centers across the country.
- Small Business Development Centers – If you don't have a Veterans Business Outreach Center in your area, you're very likely to find a Small Business Development Center (SBDC) nearby. There are 1,001 lead centers and satellite centers nationwide, each providing business training, seminars and one-on-one consulting. Sponsored and partially funded by SBA, these centers also offer support for veterans, including help with understanding their financing options.
- SCORE's Veterans Fast Launch Initiative – Launched in 2011, this government- and commercially-sponsored initiative offers veteran entrepreneurs access to a combined package of free software, workshops and free business advice. The Walmart Foundation, a primary sponsor, will also give scholarships to participants for SCORE's "Simple Steps for Starting Your Business" series.
Financing Your Venture
If you need financing help, SBA's Patriot Express and SBAExpress small business loan programs offer low-interest rates and streamlined and expedited procedures for members of the military community (responses to loan applications are made in 36 hours). The Patriot Express loan, for example, can be used for a variety of business purposes including start-up, expansion, equipment purchases, working capital, inventory or business-related real estate purchases. Learn more here. Note that SBA doesn't provide or fund loans directly; instead, it guarantees a portion of the qualified loan made by a lender, reducing the risk for the lender and improving the approval odds for the borrower.
Help with Business Opportunities
Two specific sectors offer big opportunities and incentives for veteran-owned small businesses – government contracting and franchising.
- Doing Business with Your Former Employer – Government Contracting – The government has an annual goal to set aside 3 percent of the total value of all prime contract and subcontract awards for participation by veteran-owned small businesses. There are many programs and resources that can help you take advantage of this opportunity:
- Find out if you qualify – To determine if you can bid for government business as a veteran or service-disabled veteran, review the following eligibility requirements.
- Read up on the contracting process – SBA's Government Contracting Small Business Guide includes information about becoming a federal contractor, finding business opportunities, and following the rules and regulations for government contractors. This blog also offers a quick read on this topic: Selling to the Government – Get Started with these 5 Steps.
- Online training – These step-by-step online training guides (See "A Veterans Guide") can help you compete more successfully in this market.
- Franchising Incentives for Veteran Entrepreneurs – If you want to be your own boss but are wary of the startup risks, buying a franchise can be an appealing alternative. For veterans considering buying a franchise, there are added incentives. The VetFran program, started by the International Franchise Association, provides financial incentives to veterans, such as franchise fee that are not available to civilian franchise investors. A current list of participating companies and the discounts they offer is available on this Web site, www.franchise.org, under 'VetFran Directory.'
If you like the idea of a franchise, make sure to do your research first. This guide provides helpful advice on buying and evaluating a franchise.

SLIPPERY ROCK — More administrative changes are coming at Slippery Rock University.
Constance Foley, vice president for student life, will retire May 13.
She is the third member of the seven-member university cabinet, which is made up of top university administrators that advises the president, to leave SRU this year. These personnel moves have taken place under SRU President Cheryl Norton, who started at SRU in July, replacing retired President Robert Smith.
Although retiring, Foley said she has applied for a number of jobs. She said she could not comment on whether her retirement was voluntary.
Foley, 64, of Slippery Rock Township started at SRU in 2006. It was not clear who will serve in the position in the interim before a replacement is found.
On April 15 SRU announced that Charles Curry, vice president for finance and administration and one-time acting university president, will resign Friday.
SRU will do a national search for Curry's replacement. Until then, Molly Mercer, assistant vice president for finance, will serve in the interim.
Earlier this year, Bill Williams, provost and vice president for academic affairs, retired. Williams, 67, indicated in 2012 that he would retire within about a year.
In an e-mail, Norton said that there will be several new programs coming to SRU, but she did not answer questions about Curry and Foley leaving or any other changes.

SIGGRAPH 2001 – LOS ANGELES, CA — AUGUST 14, 2001 — NVIDIA® Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA) introduced today Quadro2™ Go, the industry's first graphics processing unit (GPU) that allows engineers, animators and technical professionals to achieve higher-levels of real-time interactivity on a mobile platform. NVIDIA's Quadro2 Go sets a new standard for 2D and 3D performance in professional applications, and offers the features, rendering precision, and certifications critical to workstation customers – bringing desktop workstation performance and quality to the mobile computing market.
"There is a clear need for mobile 3D workstations," stated Jensen Huang, president and CEO at NVIDIA. "Quadro2 Go-enabled laptops will transform the way design professionals work. Armed with a powerful mobile workstation, design engineers and artists are now able to create whenever and wherever they are inspired. And be able to demonstrate their work to customers and collaborators wherever they may be."
"By introducing a mobile GPU with the power, features and certifications required for professional applications, NVIDIA is essentially creating a new market category in the workstation segment," said Jon Peddie, president of Jon Peddie Associates, a leading market research firm. "The ability to take professional applications on the road will be a jump start to a workstation market."
NVIDIA's Quadro2 Go is the first mobile GPU with graphics powerful enough to run resource-intensive workstation applications. Quadro2 Go has been optimized for stability and performance for all major OpenGL and DirectX professional applications, allowing them to run smoothly on a mobile computer without sacrificing battery life. In addition, these applications also benefit from Quadro2 Go's second-generation transform and lighting engine, accelerated antialiased lines, accelerated two-sided lighting, OpenGL overlay support, and optimized window memory management. Quadro2 Go also utilizes NVIDIA's series of custom application drivers with feature and performance enhancements vital to graphics professionals, including the ELSA® MAXtremeTM driver for 3ds maxTM, the ELSA POWERdraftTM driver for AutoCADTM ,NVIDIA's QuadroViewTM driver for professional 3D visualization, and PowerMizer for dynamic power management.
Quadro2 Go offers full certification support for an extensive list of professional applications, including 3ds max, AutoCAD, Catia™, I-DEAS™, Lightwave™, Maya™, Mechanical Desktop™, MicroStation™, Pro/Engineer™, Softimage™, Solid Edge™, Solidworks™, Unigraphics™ and many more.
"Quadro2 Go offers a no compromise solution for Maya users working away from their traditional workstation desktop," said Bill Buxton, chief scientist at Alias|Wavefront. "Quadro2 Go's advanced feature set and desktop class performance, uniquely provides artists with a distinct advantage regardless of their creative environment."
Fujitsu Siemens Computers has chosen the new Quadro2 Go for their Celsius line of notebook PCs. Fujitsu Siemens and other OEMs will be offering the Quadro2 Go in the fall of 2001.

The Skirted Rountable/
Have you been here yet? Awhile back, some of you may remember the controversial skirted table discussion. It was on this blog and that blog....love a skirted table....hate a skirted table.
Now you can be a part of more lively discussions with three of the most talented design bloggers out there. Joni Webb of Cote de Texas, Megan Arquette of Beach Bungalow 8 and Linda Merrill of Surroundings have joined forces as "Ladies of the Skirted Rountable" ( OK....I made that ladies part up....well not they that aren't ladies..which they are....just not in the Royal sense). Anyway...back to the point. These three have started a podcast blog where they discuss both a design topic and a blogging topic each week. I have been listening in to their podcasts for the last couple of weeks and I had to spread the word. These ladies are very entertaining, knowledgeable and funny.
The podcasts are about 15 minutes each....and the best thing? You can listen while you are doing other things! Like blogging for instance. How great is that? You can also post comments and give topic suggestions for future shows. They will also be having guest hosts, I hear!
The Skirted Roundtable. I encourage you all to hop on over and give a listen.
