Innovations in the community college can be thought of as streams that flow through the larger body of work educators and students engage in each day. The Innovations conference incorporates ideas, initiatives, and inspirations from seven vital streams into the broader conference goal of encouraging and facilitating student and organizational learning through innovation, experimentation, and institutional transformation. The conference features forums, roundtables, learning center courses and a poster session for each innovations stream, along with general session keynotes aimed at inspiring innovation and change in all areas of community college education.
Join the most energetic professionals in community colleges as they come together to showcase their model programs, share lessons learned, and look to the future by exploring innovations in (1) learning and teaching (2) leadership and organization (3) workforce preparation and development (4) student services and activities (5) basic skills and developmental education (6) resource development and foundation management and (7) research, assessment, and accountability.
Community college professionals continue to develop new and innovative ways of approaching learning and teaching, many of which promote the learning-centered movement. This conference stream affords educators the opportunity to share innovations their innovations with colleagues around the world. Classroom assessment and research, learning styles, learning communities, service learning, distance learning strategies, interactive computer-aided instruction, multimedia in the classroom, ethics in instruction, and critical-thinking skills development are only a few of the wide range of instructional strategies featured.
Accountability mandates, fluctuating funding, demographic shifts, and the rapid pace of change continue to challenge community college administrators to explore innovative strategies for leadership and organization. Learning organizations, knowledge management, quality principles, liberation management, and "leading from the soul" are only a few of the techniques used today to meet community college leadership challenges. In this stream, the League invites colleagues committed to transforming their community colleges to share their leadership, organizational, and staff development programs, processes, and perspectives in an effort to help all community college leaders learn how to blend diverse innovations together to make a difference in community college education.
The League for Innovation's Workforce Initiative explores the many ways community colleges are meeting the workforce needs of their communities. In a continuing effort to further this initiative, this stream highlights the individual and collaborative work of community colleges, K-12 institutions, businesses, and government agencies in contract training, continuing education, tech-prep programs, school-to-work initiatives, work-based learning activities, business and industry training, integrated academic and technical learning models, and community college and industry partnerships. Some of these initiatives include the exploration of e-learning in workforce training, as well as the certification of workplace skills.
The diverse needs and backgrounds of community college students have challenged student services personnel to develop and implement some of the most innovative approaches to servicing students in higher education. Exciting methods for tackling the challenges of recruiting, admissions, advising, assessment, accessibility, orientation, early warning systems, learning support systems, enrollment management, retention services, and counseling are featured in this stream. This stream also presents a wide array of student activity and leadership programs.
The increasing needs of community college students demand that basic skills educators develop new and innovative ways to help underprepared students become successful members of a community of learners. This stream showcases a variety of organizational and instructional strategies to improve basic skills and developmental education programs in community colleges, including placement testing, assertive advising, peer tutoring, targeted mentoring, support groups, technology tools, faculty training, and outcomes assessment. Innovations in GED programs, adult high school, developmental education, and other basic skills programs are also featured in this stream.
Out of vision and necessity, community colleges have long been entrepreneurs in various areas of resource development and fundraising. Yet many community colleges have not realized their full potential in all of these areas. This stream highlights successful models and future directions in private fundraising, corporate and private sector relations, alumni programs, federal and state grants, local fundraising, development offices, and performance contracting.
Increased calls for accountability at federal, state, and local levels challenge colleges to strengthen their assessment systems and more clearly document institutional and student outcomes. This stream showcases innovative strategies and useful models of institutional research; institutional effectiveness and planning; responses to accountability mandates; quality criteria and measures; course and program review and revision; and direct measures of student learning.

By GRETCHEN MURRAY Special to the Record-Eagle
Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — Plenty of movies at the Traverse City Film Festival are appropriate for families, but festival organizers fully realize not every film is appropriate for children.
But that doesn't mean kids have to stay home.
Film Festival officials struck a partnership with KidzArt of Traverse City to provide fun, safe and constructive activities to keep children occupied while parents take in a film.
Daily mini-art camps, geared for ages 3 and older, run from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the studio, located in Suite 102 of Front Row Center, 121 E. Front Street, across from the Traverse City Opera House.
Kate Daggett, owner and executive director of KidzArt Traverse City, said children enrolled in the art camps work individually or in groups on age-appropriate projects using paint, clay sculpting, drawing and sketching mediums while under the guidance of KidzArt's certified instructors.
"We're happy to work with the children for as long as parents are at the movies," Daggett said. "Kids come and go throughout the day, but they can stay all day if that's what the parents wish."
Costs are $7 per-child, per-hour; $18 per-hour for families of three siblings; $22 per-hour for families of four siblings and $25 per-hour for families of five siblings or more.
KidzArt also accommodates special requests for babysitters for children ages 2 and under. Available sitters have Red Cross training and CPR certifications, and are paid directly by patrons.
Sitters receive $7 per-hour for children under 2 with no more than four children in their care at a time. After 8 p.m. the rate is $10 per child per-hour, regardless of age or number of siblings.
"We are what I call a process-over-project program, meaning we're more interested in what children learn than what they walk out the door with project-wise," Daggett said. "We're very interested in making this an educational experience."
Daggett said parents, particularly out-of-towners who don't know where to turn for reliable daycare, tell her they appreciate the service.
"We know that babysitters are hard to come by ... we found that many local sitters are at the movies, too," she said. "Families tell us it's a very positive experience, and they're always blown away with what their child has created on his own."
Space is limited and Daggett strongly recommends reservations be made 24 hours before movie times. Food is not provided for children, so parents should pack snacks and beverages. A refrigerator is available onsite. For reservations, call 231-421-1222 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Introduction to Women's and Gender Studies (I or II; 3, 0)
Interdisciplinary introduction to the major theories, themes, methodologies, and issues of women's and gender studies. Emphasis on the social sciences.
Associate Professors: Coralynn V. Davis, Susan A. Reed
Coordinating Committee: Coralynn V. Davis, Stephanie Larson, Sheila Lintott (Chair), Susan A. Reed, James Shields, Atiya Kai Stokes-Brown, Ann Tlusty, Nikki Young
Women's and Gender Studies is distinguished by its interdisciplinary nature. The two central goals of Women's and Gender Studies at Bucknell University are the examination of history, society, science, and culture from feminist theoretical perspectives, and the strengthening of analytical thinking and inquiry through special attention to women's experiences, the construction of femininity and masculinity, the relations between women and men, and the differential power structures that create these social categories. The major and minor in Women's and Gender Studies are designed to provide the breadth of exposure, critical perspective, and research tools necessary for understanding the social construction of gender in its relation to race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, disability, and age both in the past and present. The program of study frames questions of gender and feminisms in ways that connect the local to the global and promote an understanding of the relations of power among nations and cultural constituencies.
A major in Women's and Gender Studies at Bucknell may provide the first stage for graduate work in a number of disciplines. (Some departments at Bucknell offer courses at the graduate level in Women's and Gender Studies.) It also offers a background for careers in local and state agencies addressing the needs of girls and women, and in fields such as journalism, law, medicine, international affairs, teaching, and personnel management, as well as in public and private corporations.
The minimum requirement for a major in Women's and Gender Studies is eight courses. Students majoring in Women's and Gender Studies must distribute their courses as follows:
No more than two 100-level courses can count toward the major.
The Department of Women's and Gender Studies urges majors to take WMST 150 as early as possible in their major coursework, as this requirement is designed to introduce students to a number of important subject areas that may be studied in greater depth in subsequent courses. This course includes formal instruction in information literacy within the major.
The Department of Women's and Gender Studies urges majors to take WMST 220 or WMST/PHIL 230 relatively early in their major coursework, as this requirement is designed to introduce students to a number of theoretical developments in the field that will be explored further in subsequent courses. These courses include formal instruction in writing within the major.
Women's and Gender Studies majors may participate in the honors program, subject to the general guidelines of the University Honors Council. Applications should be made to the Women's and Gender Studies Coordinating Committee, after selecting an honors adviser from among the Women's and Gender Studies faculty.
The minor in Women's and Gender Studies requires five courses:
No more than two of the five courses for the minor may share a departmental designation other than WMST.
Study off campus and/or abroad is strongly encouraged for both majors and minors in Women's and Gender Studies. Internships and field experience also are possible for course credit but should be planned and approved at least six months in advance of the semester in which they are to be taken.
Students wishing to declare a Women's and Gender Studies major or minor should contact a Women's and Gender Studies adviser.

Oakley's Patrick Long Wins At Tequila Patrón American Le Mans Series At Long Beach
Oakley's Patrick Long and Jorg Bergmeister won, for the second straight year, at the Tequila Patrón American Le Mans Series at Long Beach Saturday. Oakley's Team Risi Competizione placed fourth, tying the team with Patrick Long and Flying Lizards for the GT championship lead.
During the race Long drove a blistering stint and raised himself from 3rd in class to 1st with two well-executed passes. Bergmeister started the race in the #45 Flying Lizard Porsche 911 GT3 RSR, fought through intense traffic and handed the car off to Patrick in 4th.
Flying Lizard's strategists showed extreme confidence in their over-the-wall mechanics, and their gamble paid off as Long beat the previously leading Falken Porsche and 2nd placed Risi Ferrari out of the pits, giving him fresh tires to chase down the now-leading BMW duo. Within two laps, Long had passed Joey Hand for 2nd position, and with 10 minutes left in the race, passed Tommy Milner for the lead.
The victory makes it five consecutive podium finishes for Patrick at Long Beach, and two straight wins. Patrick and Jörg have now amassed 16 ALMS victories together. The # 45 Porsche also won the Michelin Green X Challenge for the GT entry operating at the highest efficiency with the lowest environmental impact.
Patrick said, "Winning at Long Beach is just an unbelievable result. It's always spectacular racing at my home track, where I've been coming since I was a kid. There's just something about the energy and the vibe that make it such a special race. The second half of the race started with the Lizard boys absolutely nailing it in the pits – we left nothing on the table with that effort. We were able to overtake the Falken Porsche, the Risi Ferrari and the leading Corvette in the pits. From there, it was about getting past the BMWs, who were very quick on the straight but didn't take tires in their pit stop."
He continued, "In the end, I got past Joey Hand in traffic to get into 2nd, and had to make an aggressive move on Tommy Milner to take the lead. Then I was able to pull clear, and by the time the Corvette had got past Milner's BMW, I was far enough down the track that he wasn't able to catch me before the checkered flag. We're excited to be tied for the championship now, and all in all, it was just a fantastic weekend. I'm looking forward to being at the LMS race at Spa in Belgium here in a couple of weeks, and then of course up to Laguna Seca for round 3 of the ALMS."

Especially this week, a minute away from everything seems like a great idea.
Fortunately, we have here "A Minute Away," a newish video series in which our lens alights someplace interesting, settles in for 60 seconds, and watches closely while nothing much happens. No talking heads or music or mug shots. No crawling text-- well, almost none. Also, no one gets hurt. Just scenery and the sound of the wind and, this week, a distant climber groping for traction.

Although I am taking pain killers, Vitamin D and calcium tablets and getting physiotherapy done since 16 days continuous, I still am having knee pain while walking and sitting on the floor with folded legs.
What can be the reason of this pain at my age and also how can I find relief from this pain. Thanks.
The first time I saw my rheumy and after examining me and ordering xrays, he was not really worried about it and it did go away after 8-12 weeks. The second time was about five years later, same thing, swelling and pain, but no trauma. My PCP repeated the xrays (they looked the same), and suggested I see an orthopedist. I talked her into some oral steroids, and finally saw the orthopedist when I finished them and was taking OTC NSAIDs. He explained why they do MRIs and did not really think one was needed yet. He said there was one ligament that the MRI does not show, so even if the MRI were normal, I could have damaged that one ligament, and surgery to take a look see would be necessary. He did agree to watchful waiting. This time the pain and swelling lasted about 24 weeks total, but did go away, and it has been more than ten years since the last time it bothered me. I am a good bit older than you, I am 61, and have FMS which can alter my pain response (not the swelling though) while healing.
If you trust your healthcare providers, I would just do what they suggest.
What have all these specialists told you to do about the pain you are having? Can you avoid the situations that cause pain for awhile?
Take care, Annette
Around the 6th month, I started to have this tingling feeling in my knees, resulting in not being able to sit with calves at 90 degrees of thighs (the usual sitting position), so I had to straighten up my legs to get some relief. Then after sometime, it got to the point that I couldnt find relief in even straightened up legs while sitting.
I saw the ortho specialist and he advised me to just get physiotherapy done, there is nothing wrong with you, you just need to strengthen your hamstrings and quadriceps (your muscles are soft by way of touching).
He has asked me to meet again in about 3 weeks now, and get physio and have pain killers when needed.
As far as avoiding the position is concerned, well now I do avoid the position for the last one month and am saying my prayers on a seat. But its embarrassing for me since when I go to a mosque, the only people who say their prayers on a seat are really old men with white or no hair.
It takes a long time to strengthen muscles, do the exercises that the PT suggests, and see your doctor when he wants you to.
My Hero, is my nephew, he was born with orthopedic problems and cannot kneel at all, he has never been able to. His knees only bend to about 85-90 degrees ever. He is a great drummer though. He is 18 now, and I am so proud of him.
Take care, Annette
I will see the doc in a few days. Keep me in ur prayers.
I prefer a stick shift, but gave them up some years ago due to health issues. I am used to an automatic now, but it took getting used to.
Take care, Annette
I got my second test done after getting 2 injections and the results improved to 29.1
After continuing for 3 months, I am 95 % cured. I can drive my manual car (which I could not since it resulted in extreme pain in left knee which is used for clutch).
I can say my prayers, but sitting with folded legs for a while gets uncomfortable, but remembering that I couldnt even do this some months back, gives me a lot of relief.

July 31, 2014
Many Americans celebrate the 4th of July with fireworks and a barbecue, but one local senior rode out the big day with an American legend. Monday marks her 100th birthday.
America shares a birthday with Ruth Stewart. Stewart says, "when I was a kid, I thought they were celebrating for me."
Stewart turns 100 years-old this Fourth of July. And as the country celebrates with fireworks, this former music teacher celebrates not with a bang, but with a roar - and a leather jacket.
"With all of the studs, look at that," a loved one says.
"I'm gonna take a ride on the motorcycle," Stewart says.
The Stoughton senior has always wanted to ride a Harley Davidson. "And I said if I were 20 years younger, I would have one 'cause they're so beautiful," she says.
So, this Independence Day family and friends gave Stewart the freedom to fulfill a lifelong dream. "I said ... gonna be safe ... 3 wheeler," family friend Karen Berg says of the idea. "She said well, I want to do it ... and so there was no question."
And so without hesitation Stewart rode through the streets of downtown Stoughton -- with one small problem. "I said I thought we'd go faster than this," Stewart says afterward. Berg says, "she wanted 35, she got 33."
But Stewart says she also got more than she ever expected for her 100th birthday. "I just never thought be like this," she says.
A greeting from the King of Norway ... Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle ...
And dozens of family and friends from all corners of the earth.
Two local Harley Davidson riders volunteered their time and their bike to give Stewart the ride from her home to her birthday celebration.

A week after Hurricane Sandy struck, about 14,000 Bucks County electric customers still were without power.
As of Monday at 5:20 p.m., 2,228, Met Ed customers in northeast Bucks and 820 PPL customers in northwest Bucks were out of power.
In Central and Lower Bucks, about 11,000 PECO customers still were without power as of Monday.
In PECO's territory, service for most remaining customers is expected to be restored by midnight Monday. However, the company noted that some "customers in the most damaged and isolated areas may be without electric service until next week."
Met Ed made progress in Bucks County in recent days by energizing the Ferndale Substation on Sunday evening and the Ottsville Substation on Monday, according to an update from the company given to State Rep. Marguerite Quinn's office.
Heavy damage was identified on circuits out of the Ottsville and Bridgeton substations. Met Ed crews were concentrating on Ottsville, Ferndale, Tinicum, Durham and Riegelsville on Monday, the company said.
Power restoration began in Ottsville on Saturday, Quinn said, and about half of the customers in that area had been restored by 9 a.m. Monday. That figure was expected to increase to 85 percent by the end of the day, she said.

|Welcome! Thank you for visiting our site.
We hope to see you at a practice soon!
|Eastside Precision Drill Team
|Eastside Precision Drill Team is an organization founded in March of 2007 for girls to learn and perform precision drill team. We are a
community drill team that brings together school-age girls from cities around the Eastside of Lake Washington. you don't have to live where we practice
in Redmond or attend a specific school to join our team. Our team is open to girls from anywhere in the greater "Eastside" area and beyond. We perform
in parades and competitions throughout the year and welcome new members at any time. We laugh, build friendships, and have a great time when we are
together at team events like swimming parties, camp outs, picnics with other teams, or movie nights. If you're looking for a more dance-style drill team
please give us some consideration as the basic principles of drill team still apply and we have a lot of fun.
|We practice on Tuesdays 6-7:30pm
at Rose Hill Middle School
(13505 N.E. 75th St., Redmond, WA 98052)
Wear athletic shoes and comfortable clothes
Please call ahead and let us know you are attending a practice
as we occasionally have to move to another location due to school activities.
Many studies have shown that girls who are involved in sports and other
team activities have higher self-esteem, more self- confidence, and are
less likely to participate in risky behaviors (crime, drugs, etc). Our team
provides an activity that will build self-confidence and self-esteem. Our
team teaches teamwork, respect for others (adults and peers), along
with responsibility for our actions. We strive to appreciate each team
member for who they are and show them that they are valued as a team
member and as a person.
Our team offers an alternative payment structure for families by asking
parents and team members to participate in fundraising throughout the
year. In return team members are loaned a team uniform and most
activities are free to team members. Activities include, for example,
Eagles State competition weekend, sleepovers, picnics, BBQ, and end of
year awards (including team pictures). Our monthly fee is $20 and we
work to fundraise an addtional $240 per team member per year.
We considered our activity to be light athletics with most kids of all ages
being capable of performing our style of marching with little difficulty.
Kids will learn to march in rhythm with the team and coordinate their arms
with their feet while the team maneuvers into formations.
Parent participation is required on some level. You can lead a fundraiser,
help with organizing events, help drive kids to parades and events, or be
a member of the parents board. The biggest area of help is around
fundraisers that are adult oriented. In the past we have operated a
concession stand at Seahawks games and that requires adults. Like any
team activity, participation by the team members in practices and events
is key to building a team so at a minimum we ask for parents to make
attendance a priority.

Jennifer, Kelle, and Heather
Heather and her staff lead the team with their endless passion for
precision drill team. While growing up Heather, Kelle, and Jennifer were
members of Seattle area teams and have never forgotten the lifelong
lessons that being part of a drill team taught them. Sportsmanship,
teamwork, responsibility, leadership, dedication, and community service top
the list of skills that help build the foundation of their characters. Beyond
the character building lessons, they will never forget the fun and
friendships they made along the way. They are all excited to share their
wonderful experiences with girls in their community and hope each member
will gain new friendships and life skills along the way. (See our Instructional

In April 2009 we marched in our first competition! The Seattle Drill Team
Association's All City competition was held on April 25th 2009. This was the
first marching event for many of our team members and the first
competition for all team members. When we look back at the video we can
giggle about how out of step we were but we also remember how proud we
were of all the hard work. Since then we have improved tremendously
placing as high as 4th out of 9 teams at Eagles State in 2011.

An Oregon teen is facing charges for a hit and run after a Facebook post this past weekend.
But, he says it was all just a misunderstanding.
"Yeah, sure, I shouldn't have posted that. I kind of regret it, but it just got blown out of proportion. But I don't know," he said.
In the Facebook post he said, "Driving drunk? Classic, but to whoever's vehicle I hit I am sorry".
More than one friend took the post seriously and contacted the police.
A neighbor says it was her car that was hit.
He messaged my husband on Facebook and said, "I'm sorry about what happened. It was a really idiot thing to do, and left a number but we haven't called him yet," the woman said.
The teen insists he wasn't driving drunk, but that the road was icy.
Police say by the time they caught up with him, there was no way to find evidence of DUI.

To the Editor:
Cumberland Times-News
On Feb. 8, Sen. James DeGrange introduced Senate Bill 876 to the Maryland Senate. This bill proposes the repeal of a prohibition on the use of state funds to implement certain standards for state correctional facilities.
This rather vague synopsis omits that the standards that are currently prohibited by the Code of Maryland are standards set forth by a group known as the American Correctional Association.
Our state has the Maryland Commission on Correctional Standards, a fine publicly accountable organization of which has all of its information available to anyone willing to use an Internet search engine.
The American Correctional Association is a private organization accountable to no one and keeps its information secret. Additionally it costs the taxpayers of Maryland a starting price of $12,000 just for the ACA to visit an institution (there are 32 facilities in Maryland) for accreditation, this figure does not count the costs of implementing any of their proposed standards.
And when it is all said and done, an ACA accreditation is worthless, except to its own members.
I urge all readers of this letter that are interested in saving our state hundreds of thousands of dollars to contact the Senate Rules Committee members and express their opposition to Senate Bill 876.

Associated Press
— 'Buckwild,' the MTV reality series set in Sissonville, W.Va., has been canceled after the death of cast member Shain Gandee, multiple entertainment news outlets are reporting.
TMZ first reported the cancellation.
Gandee was found dead a week ago along with two others after a night of mudding. Their SUV became stuck in a mudpit and the muffler was covered by mud. Officials said the cause of death was carbon monoxide poisoning.
His funeral was attended by hundreds of people wearing camouflage in his honor.
"Buckwild" was originally renewed for a second season in early February, after averaging 3 million viewers per episode.
"We are shocked and saddened by the terrible news about Shain Gandee, and those involved in this tragic incident," MTV said in a statement after the news broke. "We are waiting for more information but at this time, our main concern is for the Gandee family and their friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with them. Shain had a magnetic personality, with a passion for life that touched everyone he met and we will miss him dearly."

The thought of reentering the workplace can be daunting at best, especially if you have been at home for several years. I know it was for me. I had left a successful and fulfilling job to raise my two children.
When I first thought about going back to work it was not only scary, but honestly, a bit overwhelming as well. I was plagued by a multitude of questions:
- Where do I begin?
- What do I do?
- Are my skills still relevant?
- How have things changed?
- Do I need to go back to school?
- Will I need new clothes – fortunately, this was an easy one.
The more I looked, it seems the less I found. There was no one place that addressed the issues as a mom returning to the workplace after 12 years. So when I came across Dennis Thompson, of Thompson Associates and author of Four Degrees to Your Dream Job, it was kismet. Together we created a step by step process to help anyone get into the job market – no matter how long you have been out.
Step 1- Make finding a job your job! Carve out the time in your life/schedule.
Start by thinking of your job search as your new job and treat it as such. Schedule a minimum of 4 to 6 hours a day to work on your job search in addition to anytime you will spend interviewing and commuting to and from meetings, interviews etc. If, in fact, you will commit 6 hours minimum each day, 5 days a week it will only be a short time before you find yourself employed.
Really, take your calendar out and block out 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday through Friday. Now take a look at all your other activities during that time, gym, walk the dog, coffee with the girlfriends, the list goes on and on. Now start moving all those extra activities to another time slot or off the calendar all together. Set yourself up for success and give yourself the time to be sucessful.
BTW- if this seems like a lot, ask yourself, how much time did you or does the average person spend on a full time job? Generally eight to ten hour, plus commute. It is simple and it's your choice – however if you are serious about finding work as fast as possible you will need to put in the time.
Your day time hours are sacred. This is the only time you will have to make calls, receive calls and go to appointments. Remember also that it will take some time to understand, get comfortable and become effective at conducting your job search. You may not have done this in a long time or ever. Give yourself room to make mistakes, expect it to take some time and to have to work / practice to get back in the swing of things again and get good at the job of finding a job.
Coming up next, Step 2 of 3: Talk to your family.
Teri Hockett is the CEO of What's For Work? The Premier Career Site for Women.

Support Through Sport
The Community Semper Fi Team consists of compassionate people who take the time and initiative to compete in athletic events, host athletic events, and/or accomplish athletic feats while supporting the Semper Fi Fund. Because fundraising is a competitive endeavor, we consider all members of the Community Semper Fi Team, our Community Athletes!
By rallying communities in support of the Semper Fi Fund, Community Athletes show our injured and ill servicemen and women that they are not forgotten, and that "help is on the way." The funding and awareness that is raised by Community Athletes is an integral part of the support system that the Semper Fi Fund needs to accomplish its mission.
Community Athletes compete in marathons, triathlons, softball games, baseball games, football games, motorsports, golfing, biking, climbing, or even simply conduct a letter writing or fundraising campaign. They pledge to raise funds and awareness for the Semper Fi Fund throughout their generous efforts, and they usually have fun in the process!
Whether you are a seasoned athlete or participating in your first event, your efforts can make a difference in the quality of life for our nation's injured service members.
Come Run for the Fund!
Community Semper Fi Team registrations are now open for our premier runs and we want you on our team!
We'd like to take a moment to express our gratitude for all our Community Athletes participating in races to raise money and support the Semper Fi Fund. Check out the event calendar below and see all the amazing individuals competing on behalf of the Semper Fi Fund.

New MapKit features
In WWDC 2013 Apple introduced many new MapKit features for iOS 7 and added this framework in OSX 10.9 (Mavericks). One of the major changes, which in my opinion didn't get enough relevance in the developer community, has been the introduction of some base classes that allow full map customization and support for offline maps. In this article I'm going to describe the new MKTileOverlay class and present an example, for both iOS and OSX, that demonstrates the new capabilities.

Camp X in Whitby recognized as an event of national historic significance
WHITBY, ON, May 3, 2014 /CNW/ - Colin Carrie, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of the Environment, on behalf of the Honourable Leona Aglukkaq, Minister of the Environment and Minister Responsible for Parks Canada, today recognized Camp X, the first school of its kind in North America for training Canadian and American secret agents as an event of national historic significance. From initial training in subversive warfare and covert techniques, to fighting behind enemy lines, the men and women who trained at Camp X lived in the shadows, and constitute an important element of Canada's allied war efforts.
Between 1941 and 1944, Americans and Canadians trained as secret agents at Camp X in Whitby, Ontario learning from the finest intelligence specialists the arts of espionage, sabotage, subversion, unarmed combat, silent killing, weapons training and various forms of communications. Employing the finest intelligence specialists, Camp X turned highly qualified recruits into covert operatives trained for clandestine Allied missions, and in so doing played an integral role in the development of international and domestic intelligence training.
Camp X was also the site of a sophisticated top-secret Canadian made and operated communications relay station for sensitive information during the war. It was considered one of the world's most advanced communications centres at that time, and continued to operate until 1969.
Quick Facts
"I am proud to commemorate the Secret Intelligence Activities at Camp X
as an event of national historic significance. The actions undertaken
at Camp X directly contributed to the success of the Second World War
efforts, and Canadian's should be proud of the historic events that
took place here."
Leona Aglukkaq, Canada's Environment Minister and Minister responsible for Parks Canada
"In local circles, it is said that the CIA named their training facility
the 'Farm' as homage to Camp X here in Whitby. This is an example of
the impact that Canada, at Camp X, had in the training and development
of secret operatives from Allied Nations during the Second World War."
Colin Carrie, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of the Environment

The first game of Chickasha's football season was more like taking a big, oddly shaped, bitter pill and having to swallow it first thing in the morning, as rivals Anadarko showed why they are the team to beat in 3A with a 73-14 demolition job.
RJ Sink, one of Oklahoma's top high school running backs, put on a show with 128 yards off 13 carries and two touchdowns to his name. He was almost impossible for the Chickasha defense to handle.
Anadarko began the game predictably, handing the ball off to Sink. After a few short runs, he broke through the Chickasha defense and 40 yards downfield to the Fightin Chicks' 5 yard line. Later it was Sink again, who broke through for the opening touchdown. It was 7-0 with just over two minutes gone.
Chickasha's defense was able to get after Sink and quarterback Brandon Pollard on Anadarko's next drive. Lindbergh Carey, who had switched to linebacker, ran down the Warriors quarterback for a five yard loss. That forced them to try a fourth down pass that was batted down.
But Chickasha's offense was unable to move the ball far and forced to punt. Taking over from the Chickasha 47, Sink once again ran amok and eventually in for a 12 yard touchdown to make it 13-0 with 10:49 in the second quarter.
Strong Warrior defense proved ruthless once again, and this time they helped the offense take over from the Chickasha 32. They waisted little time before wide receiver Josh Parton ran seven yards on a wrap-around rout and in for the touchdown. Another missed extra point made the score 19-0 Anadarko.
Another short field for Anadarko gave Pollard his first rushing touchdown of the game with a 21 yard run to make the score 26-0. Then, Chickasha's offense finally got something going. A 28 yard pass to Carey on third down kept the drive alive, and a roughing the kicker call on the Chickasha punt saw some luck go the visitors' way for once. Unfortunately that luck turned around on them, with Chickasha fumbling the ball and the Warriors taking advantage.

In this latest incident involving a 787, All Nippon Airways says the plane's main battery had burn marks around it, and its flammable liquid had leaked. The battery is below the cockpit. Pilots made an emergency landing after smelling something burning, and after a cockpit message showed battery problems.
ast week a battery burned on a Japan Airlines plane parked in Boston.
The two Japanese airlines together fly 24 of the 50 787s Boeing has delivered to customers.
Boeing says it is working with the airlines and regulators.

The Daily Star
---- — An "expensive proposition," better transportation across Otsego County and a 500th anniversary celebration of Columbus covered some of the news as it was over a three county-region during October 1992.
If you happened to have a spare $250,000 lying around 20 years ago this month, an opportunity was yours to simply become eligible to bid Thursday, Oct. 1, for a turn-of-the 20th-century estate and mansion once owned by the Gerry family in Delaware County.
The estate, known as "Aknusti," which is an American Indian meaning for "expensive proposition," included 2,000 acres located off Biggar Hollow Road at the juncture of three towns — Andes, Bovina and Delhi. Robert Gerry and his wife, Cornelia Harriman Gerry, built a colonial Georgian mansion in 1912. Aknusti had been designed for the Gerry family by the Olmstead brothers, the landscape architects of New York City's Central Park.
The estate had been sold twice since 1977, but nothing had been changed since the golden years when the Gerrys entertained famous visitors such as Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, Gov. Averill Harriman and members of the Vanderbilt, Whitney and Phipps families. Aknusti had suffered a $1 million fire back Sunday, Feb. 1, 1953. Winds had fanned the flames, and firefighters had been hindered by bad weather and road conditions. The structure had been considered to be fireproof, although firefighters from Andes and Delhi had all they could do to save one wing of the mansion, leaving what was described as a smoldering mass of blackened rubble. Priceless paintings, rugs and antiques were lost, among other family possessions. Some valuables were saved, after the Gerrys servants had routinely placed many items in a vault, which remained intact, before the family departed for New York City on New Years' Day.
There were about 150 onlookers as only four bidders submitted the $250,000 required. The winning bid was from Lynn Johnson, owner of Titan Drilling and an antique car collector in Arkville, for $1.75 million. Johnson had been a one-sixth owner of the property before this auction, as part of Broadlands Property Group. An anonymous bidder had gone as high as $1.5 million before dropping out.
In recent years, Aknusti has been owned by Aman Resorts.
Bus service linking much of Otsego County was made a reality by the Otsego County Board of Representatives at their meeting of Wednesday, Oct. 7. It is the service we know today as Otsego Express.
There were a few obstacles to getting the service started, as the budget for the bus was soon eliminated for 1992-93. The board then contracted for the bus service in June 1994.
Otsego Express was the official name of the service, adopted in September 1994. It had a co-title, known to many as "Gus the Bus."
Ribbon-cutting ceremonies were held Nov. 30, 1994, at what was called the Otsego County Annex Building, 34 Chestnut St. in Cooperstown.
Christopher Columbus never made it to the town of Columbus in northeastern Chenango County, but the explorer who "sailed the ocean blue in 1492" is well recognized in this town.
To mark the 500th anniversary of Columbus' journey, residents of the area gathered in the hamlet, found on state Route 80 on Saturday, Oct. 10, to celebrate the founding of the oldest community in the nation named after the explorer.
The community was settled in 1791 by Col. Thomas Converse and established in 1805. Why the town was named Columbus isn't certain, although one theory has been that there was much anti-British fervor in the time between the American Revolution and the War of 1812, leading settlers to settle upon any non-British name reflecting local or national history.
Kay Winton headed an 11-member committee to celebrate the weekend, which included a huge parade and two days' worth of activities. Winton and her husband, Jack, owned the Columbus Hotel.
This weekend: Oneonta couldn't get enough of baseball in 1912, so they played on during the winter, indoors.

Louv on the Classroom Aquarium Education Program (PDF)
Richard Louv is the author of seven books about family, nature, and community, including Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder.
- Hatching Stewardship - an article about hatching fish in classrooms (PDF)
Known regionally as Trout in the Classroom, Salmonids in the Classroom, Steelhead in the Classroom, or Salmon and Trout Education Program.
Through a classroom experience of hatching fish eggs and coordinated activities, students experience first-hand the value of aquatic environments, the balance that must be met to maintain and preserve California's fisheries and aquatic habitats, and how their personal actions affect these valuable resources.
Instructors and their students set up an aquarium in the classroom, receive fish eggs under a special CDFW permit, and observe the fish as they hatch and develop. The experience may culminate in a field trip to a local stream or river where the fish are released. This is a hands-on, interdisciplinary project for grades K-12.
The Classroom Aquarium Education Project is offered statewide in partnership with regionally-based community organizations. While the program has several names around the state, the essential learning elements and student experiences are similar. The prerequisite training workshops are held at locations throughout the state. Completion of a training workshop is required to receive eggs. Teacher training workshops are offered at least once a year in each region.

In a somewhat surprising turn of events, Don Horsley - just sworn in as president of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors this past week - has issued a statement indicating he has decided to forego a salary after all.
Previously, after indicating he would forego the $120,000-per-year supervisor salary during his campaign for election, and then going without pay for two years, Horsley announced recently that his family's financial situation had changed and he would begin collecting the salary this year, on top of the $215,000-per-year pension he receives as the county's former sheriff.
The decision met with a bit of an outcry from county voters, some of whom said they felt cheated since his decision to forego the salary was part of the reason they voted for him. Some even suggested he should be recalled for going back on his campaign promise.
The San Jose Mercury News quoted parts of Horsley's statement Saturday.
"I made a commitment to forgo the salary, and I will keep that commitment," the statement said.
The Mercury said Horsley was refusing interviews, and would not comment on what made him change his mind about taking the salary.
What do you think of Horsley's change of heart? Tell us in the comments.

The Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force is looking for information on Charles Farris III, the task force's latest fugitive of the week.
Farris is wanted for charges including robbery, failure to register as a sex offender and parole violation, according to a press release from the task force. He is wanted by the U.S. Marshals and the Lorain County Sheriff's Office, as well as the Elyria Police Department and the Ohio Adult Parole Authority.
Allegedly, Farris robbed a Speedway in Elyria last November. The incident took place early in the morning, around 3 a.m. on Nov. 10. Farris reportedly ordered a store clerk inside, and said he had a gun. Once inside, he told another clerk to give him money from the cash registers. Farris left with $374.
Farris, 48, is about 5'8" and 190 pounds. He's thought to be hiding somewhere in Cleveland, likely on the west side of the city, and he used to live near the 30 block of High Street in Elyria.
If you have any information on Farris, call the task force at 1-866-4WANTED, or text a tip to 847411 (tip411), keyword WANTED. Tips can stay anonymous, and there is the possibility of a reward.
Just last week, an anonymous tip helped the task force capture a man wanted for rape and kidnapping.

myeviltwintheviolinist requested Domestic Marvel (Steve,Tony, Peter) running into Domestic DC (Bruce, Clark, Dick), and have an awkward outcome :D
To be honest though, I think Dick and Peter would get along fairly well xD
This is myeviltwintheviolinist's requested drawing :D
Myeviltwintheviolinist requested a picture of Tony and Steve discovering Peter had super powers for the first time. Now there are many ways they could have discovered, but this idea just kept repeating in my head (also it's quite fun making Steve freak out xD)
Doodle time!
Steve had to go out on an assignment, leaving Tony in charge of their new adopted son, Peter. Unfortunately, Peter now knows how to crawl and seems to enjoy getting messy whenever his poor dad isn't looking :P
Making this requested drawing reblogable (if you guys want I can start doing that to the others as well :P)
This was a requested drawing from superhusbandslove :)
Tony and Steve are out and it's up to the rest of the Avengers team to look after baby Peter! D:
A requested drawing from weebleroxanne that I'm making reblogable :3
This is the first time that Peter crawls onto the ceiling (to the horror of his dads xD)
