These are industries that have to do with the exploitation of raw materials found in nature.
This involves factories that manufacture goods, i.e. industries that are involved with the conversion of raw materials into goods.
These are the businesses that render the services to supply the products to the consumer or transport the products to the consumer (marketing and distribution).
Arrange the following industries under the appropriate headings:
banks, a canningfactory, a wheatfarm, a supermarket, a hairsalon, a sweetfactory, a fishery, an estateagent, a fruitfarm, a cattlefarm, pineplantations, a wholesaler, the police, the municipality, hospitals, schools.
Because there are three types of industry, it is possible for us to say that a product goes through three stages of production. All products undergo these three stages of production, which are
This is called the PRODUCTION CHAIN. The price increases at each link in the chain. When one of your parents therefore buys a can of preserved peaches, she or he is paying for the work of the farmer, the manufacturer, the transporter, the wholesaler and the shop owner.
Look at the following flow chart that describes how tart apples are produced. Identify the primary, secondary and tertiary stages of production.
|Apples are harvested in an apple orchard on a farm.
|In the canning factory the apples are processed to become tart apples.
|The can of tart apples is transported to the wholesaler.
|The retailer buys it from the wholesaler.
|He transports it to his shop.
|He sells it to his client (the consumer).
Use pictures from old magazines and newspapers to make a poster showing the differences between the primary, secondary and tertiary stages of production. You must therefore paste pictures of products representing the different stages.
Ask your educator to arrange a class visit to a local industry. After the visit draw a flow chart with labels indicating the PRODUCTION LINE through which the raw materials pass to eventually become the final product.
The cost of production
To manufacture goods, the producer needs materials, labour and capital. Manufacturing costs money, because each of the inputs must be paid for. Two main costs are involved, namely direct and indirectcosts.
What are directcosts? These are the materials and labour needed to manufacture things. These direct costs vary according to the amount of items produced
What are indirectcosts? These are expenses such as advertising and telephone accounts that cannot be directly linked to the production process. Some of these indirect costs are fixed amounts which are paid monthly, e.g. rent, interest and salaries. Others differ from month to month and depend on the amount of water and electricity that is used, as well as the amount of telephone calls that are made.
When you want to sell a product that you have made, you must sell it for more money than it has cost you to make it. You must therefore work out what it will cost to make before you make a product. These costs are the PRODUCTION COSTS. You must also work out the production costs for services which you wish to render.
Hint to the educator: Let learners do the next assignment in groups.
Let each group choose a different item.
You are a keen soccer/rugby/hockey player and you practice with the boys at the school for an hour every Monday and Wednesday. Because of the punishing programme that the coach subjects the players to, everyone is exhausted after the session and everyone stands in a queue to get water from one of the two taps alongside the rugby field. Immediately you recognise the opportunity of selling iced lollies to the players at the end of the session - with the coach's approval, of course.
You test their opinions and find out that the majority of the approximately 30 players will support you at least once a week. Now you have got to get to work. Luckily some of your friends have offered their help.
Visit at least five different wholesalers/retailers/supermarkets/shops that sell lollies and then fill in the following table:
|Name of business
|Number of units per pack
|Price per unit
(NB Each member of the group has to visit a shop)
At which shop are you going to buy your goods – and why?
How much must you charge for each item if you want to make 50% profit on each item that you sell?
How much profit are you making per item?.
If you decide to buy 40 items each week, how much will you pay?
How many units will you be buying?
What about your group attempting to make this scheme a reality? Let your dreams take wing and fly!

TRAVERSE CITY — Mr. Luciani is going to Washington.
Doug Luciani, head of the Traverse City Area Chamber of Commerce, will travel to Washington, D.C. on Thursday to speak to some of the nation's top energy officials about the northern Michigan business community's aggressive pursuit of energy efficiency measures.
Luciani said he's told the meeting will happen even if the federal government remains shuttered by a budget stalemate.
"It's really an honor," Luciani said. "This will be my first annual meeting with White House policy people in the White House."
The primary topic of conversation will be the chamber's Energy Efficiency Revolving Loan Fund, which is receiving national recognition among business leaders. The program was established in 2012 and has made seven loans totaling $175,000 to commercial businesses and manufacturers. The loans feature an interest rate of 3 percent or less and companies using the program have reduced their utility bills by $53,000 a year and saved more than 500,000 kilowatt hours of electricity.
The chamber is partnering with Traverse City Light & Power to offer a loan bank of up to $200,000 for area energy efficiency projects.
"We saw a need to have an impact on the region's energy use and to do something for our members," Luciani said.
President Barack Obama will not be in attendance, but members of his cabinet and officials with the Department of Energy will be present.
The Record-Eagle reported in July that major businesses and industry throughout northern Michigan increasingly are pursuing cost savings through energy efficiency. Crystal Mountain Resort & Spa in Thompsonville estimates it cut its energy bill by 50 percent by implementing energy efficiency measures, including installation of LED lighting and reducing usage at peak times.
The Michigan Land Use Institute issued a report this week called The Power of Energy Efficiency that documented multiple different energy efficiency projects in the region, include Michigan Saves. The program helps Traverse City homeowners perform energy efficiency projects on their residences by using low-interest loans.

This parking does not currently offer online bookings.

8 Left Comments
"It was very easy to get in and out of the Edgewater High School parking lot. We would definitely park there again."
"Plenty of space, organized, I felt good about knowing where I would park"
"Nice lot, open space, port-a-potties, easy walk to the stadium."
"Easy in and easy out made this parking spot a good choice. However, we had to park on the grass despite arriving 1.5 hours prior to the game; if there had been rain or snow this might present a problem."
"It was very convenient parking. We enjoyed the short walk to the stadium stopping at a café for lunch on the way. The only question I have is, since I reserved a place at a premium price, why wasn't there a parking place near the entrance instead of almost to the grass area?"
"The parking lot was clean with easy access. There was a lot of green space for tailgating and the parking stalls were wide enough for larger vehicles. Very happy we chose this service."
This surface lot parking is located at the Edgewood High School. The school lot will be enclosed by a black fence, except for the entrance on Monroe St. The entrance drive will have trees on both sides and will take you to the parking lot. This location will leave you with about a 20 minute walk to Camp Randall Stadium!
This location is a commercial parking lot.
This surface lot is located between Edgewood College Dr and Edgewood Ave on Monroe St. The entrance will be on the south side of Monroe St.

The Midagedgamer Report for 2-8-2013
This Week:
Xbox, More like PS4 than we wanted, Are you stupid? Creative con-fab..not and more!
Seems Microsoft wants to take a page out of Sony and Blizzard's playbook. There's news that the next XBOX will not only have a blu-ray player but require an Internet connection to use it, that's the Blizzard part. It also won't play used games, that's the Sony part. That's fine, I say full steam ahead. If there's anything that will save PC gaming this is it. At $60 or more per game plus the requirement to have an Xbox account which will likely be useless without the word "Gold" attached to it you can be sure that Both Microsoft and Sony will price themselves out of the market. In case you still care, the new Xbox will have an AMD 8 core CPU running at 1.6GHZ, 8 GB of DDR3 and a new version of Kinect. The Code Name is Durango which is meaningless except for something I heard Mary Jo Foley of allaboutmicrosoft.com say. on Windows Weekly a few weeks back. She was told that Microsoft codenames that use cities are directly related to how close the project is to completion. The closer the city is to Microsoft HQ in Redmond the closer it is to final product. Durango is a town in Colorado so take from that what you will.
Microsoft following sony's lead
By the way, I'm just going to say it straight. If you think it's perfectly fine to be forced to be online and pay a subscription just to play your games you're just stupid and should immediately send me all your money. You obviously don't know how to manage it.
Doubly so if you think it's perfectly ok to force a gamer to pay full price for a game and not be able to resell it when he/she is done with it. For decades game licenses have been transferrable spawning a thriving secondary market and the chance to recoup at least some of your investment. That runs contrary to a business plan that counts on trapping gamers in a tightly controlled ecosystem.
They'll justify your gaming prison with claims of enhanced security and superior service and… it will be a lie. Dice games will still be hacked, Internet connections will still be flaky and you'll have a heck of time getting your money back when they do you wrong.
The reason for this "locked down and hooked up" approach? What else, greed. You see digital (as in online) sales were up compared to Physical (retail box) sales. That stems from fewer retail locations selling triple-A titles, online incentives from digital subscriptions and pre-orders and an aging demographic that chose to feed their kids over spending the better part of $100 for a game.
At the least, it's a misread of the gaming consumer. At its worst, it's blatant abuse of the DMCA and if you think this kind of thing is going to stop with games you're blind. Stand up against corporate greed and protectionism! Boycott the corporatocracy!, Boot up your PC, slap in an indie title and game to your heart's content on Windows 7!
This is far from an idle threat if you take a look at recent numbers from the NPD group show gaming revenues in general fell 9% from 2011. That's 14.8 billion down from 16.34 billion in a year that had an even worse economy. That's a shrinking market no matter how you get your content and it's their greed that's making it that way. Make them fight for every one of your dollars instead of sheepishly taking their abuse. Since when does a market get dictated by sellers instead of buyers anyway? Games aren't food, clothing or medical care. We can take them or leave them. You have the power to remind them of that.
Well two of my least favorite people, Gabe Newell of Valve and J.J. Abrams of the Star Trek reboot fame apparently had a pow-wow on stage, in front of everybody, at the DICE summit. There, they laid out their individual philosophies on games and movies. In short JJ's got an idea for a game that he'd like to partner with Valve to produce and Newell wants to see about JJ doing a Portal or Half Life movie. Why not? Half Life is a very stylized game that would translate well to Abrams "Fashion Runway" vision of Sci-Fi and Gabe needs a friend.
New numbers are out for Wow subscriptions and it looks like Mists of Pandaria may have been a short lived bounce. Down from 10 million subscriber numbers have dropped to 9.6 million. Still good numbers for a game developed over half a decade ago but down nonetheless. I guess the LARP guys got a deal on used panda costumes and let their subs lapse.
Finally, if you've recovered from the Facebook 404 hijack this week you may want to check out the following article about a new Call of Duty game due out this year. Not many details but it's likely to come out around the time BF4 launches.

LAWRENCE — Police are getting to know the TD Bank at 305 S. Broadway very well.
They responded to it for the third time in 10 days yesterday, after a car accidentally drove into the building around 12:30 p.m. The previous two calls involved the bank being robbed.
Ana Fragoso, 42, 10 Weare St., Lawrence, was looking behind her, attempting to back out of a parking space, when she drove her 2004 Audi directly into the side of the building, leaving a 6-by-6 foot hole.
"It seems as if she thought she was in reverse, when she was actually in drive," Police Chief John Romero said.
He added that the crash seems to be accidental, and neither alcohol nor drugs were a factor.
Police were last called to the bank on March 28, when a masked man carrying a handgun walked into the bank and demanded an unknown amount of money from the teller. A masked man with a hand gun robbed the bank again Wednesday, getting away with an undisclosed sum of money.
Police believe the same man was responsible for both robberies.
Fragoso was slightly shaken and embarrassed after the crash but was not injured, according to the police report written by patrol officer George Wood. Romero said Fragoso was not trying to enter the bank.
Police did not issue Fragoso any citations.
The city building inspector said the structure was repairable.
The car had heavy front end damage.
Business at the bank was not heavily disrupted, as the bank was closing for the day at 1 p.m.

(Born November 18, 1949) -- The hockey career of Ted Sator took all sorts of odd stops; it was anything but conventional.
Sator played college hockey at Bowling Green and turned pro ... for three games. A knee injury while playing for the Long Island Ducks of the Eastern League ended any dreams Sator might have had in that sense.
So he turned to coaching in 1982. After some time in Sweden, Sator landed an assistant's spot in Philadelphia and was hired by the Rangers as head coach. Sator helped New York reach the conference finals in 1986 but was fired the following season after a 5-12 start.
Sator was hired by the Sabres in 1986. He coached them for two seasons, getting Buffalo just over the .500 mark both times. But he couldn't win a playoff series, and he had trouble getting along with some players. Sator was replaced by Rick Dudley in 1989.
Sator was an assistant coach with several NHL teams, and served as the head coach of the New Orleans Brass for five years starting in 1998. He's served in a wide variety of roles over the years, including a stint as coach of Hungary's national team.

Last Thursday the city unveiled a plan to operate its own parks department. Wednesday night, it was the county's turn.
Don Lopp, director of Floyd County operations and county planner, presented a plan to the Floyd County Commissioners. The plan details everything from how many employees it will take to operate a Floyd County Parks Department, to a budget and facilities which will fall under the county's jurisdiction.
Lopp will present the same plan to parks employees today and the New Albany-Floyd County Parks Board tonight at 6. That meeting will take place at the Southern Indiana Sports Center, 620 Park East Blvd. in New Albany.
"The parks board asked the county to put together a transitional plan for the parks," Lopp told the commissioners.
The city council approved on final reading Monday night an ordinance to end the current joint agreement with Floyd County for recreational services. New Albany Mayor Jeff Gahan initiated the split, saying the city has paid about $4 million more toward the service than the county over the past eight years. The joint venture to join the two parks departments was formed in 1994.
However, Commissioner Chuck Freiberger said Tuesday that statement is not entirely correct. He said no where in the interlocal agreement does it state the county has to approve a separate cumulative capital tax which city residents currently pay.
"We were asked to do what the city did [pass a cumulative capital tax] but they did that outside of the interlocal agreement. The city council chose themselves to put that tax on city residents," Freiberger said. "We were asked to match that, but if we would have done that, city residents would have paid an additional tax. That would not have been fair to them. So when you hear that $4 million number, it's a little misleading."
Lopp said Tuesday under the county parks plan he has proposed, there would be a yearly operation's budget of $500,000, four full-time employees and two part-time, four trucks, one tractor and mower each, and assorted machinery.
Also under the plan, the county would maintain and control the following properties: Sam Peden Community Park, Galena-Lamb Park, Garry Cavan-Edwardsville Park, Greenville Park, Letty Walter Park, Woodlands Park, Herman Collier Park and the Southern Indiana Sports Complex.
The city also wants to control the sports center and Woodlands Park, Lopp said. He hopes the two can come to some sort of agreement when it comes to the sports center, which is the current headquarters of the parks department. The split will take effect Jan. 1.
"The budget we are proposing does not raise taxes and there is no double taxation," Lopp said.
Lopp and Floyd County Commissioners' President Steve Bush met with Gahan on Wednesday to discuss the split of the New Albany-Floyd County Parks Department.
"The mayor wants a smooth transition," Bush said. "We indicated to the mayor we are moving forward with a plan. We will know more after the first of the year but we need to have a plan in place. We have to be ready the first of the year with our own programs, and make sure we don't have any of our programs disrupted. We want to make sure we are prepared."
Lopp said he will take his plan to the Floyd County Council next week so they can formally approve forming and funding a county parks department.

Americans are growing increasingly comfortable using their mobile phones to conduct basic financial transactions, sending banks racing to offer new technology that will cut down on costly customer-service calls and branch visits.
The moves represent a big change from just a few years ago, when customers mostly used their phones to check bank balances or find the nearest branch. Customers now are manipulating their gadgets to deposit checks and move money between accounts.

The trend is taking hold with younger consumers who increasingly rely on smartphones for everyday tasks. It is less clear, however, whether older bank customers—many of whom took a while to embrace online banking and who are among the industry's most profitable customers—are willing to make another switch.
The efforts come as banks of all sizes look for new ways to attract customers during a period of low interest rates, tepid loan demand and tight profit margins. U.S. banks closed more than 1,100 branches in 2012, on a net basis, said SNL Financial, a Charlottesville, Va., research firm.

By contrast, consumers' "readiness to manage their personal finances and banking via a mobile device has caught the industry off guard," said Robert Hedges, managing director at AlixPartners LLP, a Boston-based consulting firm.
Mobile banking represents roughly 8% of transactions, with online banking at 53% and branches, 14%, according to AlixPartners. Other methods, including automated teller machines, make up the rest.
Kate Greenough of Boston rarely visits a Bank of America Corp. branch. She doesn't own a laptop or desktop computer. Instead, she relies on her smartphone and iPad for virtually all of her banking.
"It has become part of my normal routine," said the 25-year-old who works in the marketing industry.
She has used her phone to transfer rent money to her roommate's bank account and will sometimes log onto her account when shopping to check her recent spending habits.
Most banks don't charge for the new mobile applications; they consider them as a way to lure consumers who may ultimately turn to the bank for a credit card, mortgage or wealth-management services.
Nearly half of smartphone users who switched banks said that mobile banking was an important factor in their decision, up from 7% in 2010, according to an AlixPartners survey.

Bank of America began offering mobile check deposit in August. The bank said customers are depositing more than 100,000 checks each day through their mobile phones.

"We find that our customers appreciate the convenience for the service and are more than willing to pay the 50 cents rather than go to the nearest ATM or branch," said Howell "Mac" McCullough, chief strategy officer at U.S. Bancorp.
The Minneapolis-based bank doesn't plan to charge for its new mobile photo bill-payment service.
Banks began offering mobile banking five or six years ago in the form of text messaging and web-based browsers.
The adoption of mobile banking is being fueled by the explosion in smartphone usage. Roughly half of Americans who use a mobile phone are using a smartphone, according to mobile-phone industry estimates.

TD plans to offer mobile deposit in the first half of the year, a spokeswoman said. The bank, which has more than 1,300 U.S. branches, is part of TD Bank Group in Toronto.
Banks say mobile banking is secure. Customers typically choose a login and password so that their bank information can't be accessed if a phone is lost or stolen.
In the first 24 hours after First Financial, a unit of First Financial Bankshares Inc., Abilene, Texas, launched the mobile photo bill payment last month, some 53% of the bank's active mobile users upgraded to the new application that included the feature.
"The appeal for us is opening new accounts and taking care of our customers to make the bank grow," said F. Scott Dueser, chief executive.
Mr. DeBello of Mitek thinks banks ultimately will add features that allow customers to use smartphones to get a credit card or a mortgage.
"It's instant, it's gratifying, it's easy and it's kind of fun. When is the last time you had fun banking?" he said.

- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes. (Firm or slightly undercooked orzo works best for this dish.) Drain, transfer to a mixing bowl, and set aside.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium high heat, stirring to blend. Stir in garlic, basil, and red pepper flakes, and reduce heat to medium. Stir in pine nuts and cook until lightly browned. Add spinach, cover, and cook on low heat for 5 minutes, or until spinach is wilted.
- Toss spinach mixture with orzo pasta. Portion onto serving plates with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and a sprinkling of crumbled feta cheese and chopped tomatoes. Allow guests to adjust seasoning with salt, as needed. Enjoy!

I thought this was wonderful. It was very tasty and fun to make. My advice to anyone who makes it, make sure you use balsamic vinegar at the end (it's not optional!), otherwise this will be a very bland dish. I skipped over the balsamic vinegar for the first bite, thought it was boring, then added it in and it transformed the dish and rocketed it from 3 stars to 5. This also tastes great with baked zucchini chips on the side.
This was a hit and a miss in our house. I liked the idea of the feta, but not hubs, so I unfortunately had to leave it out. I loved the little spark the red pepper flakes added, but it was a little too hot for hubby's sensitive innards, so be careful with children or those who can't tolerate any "heat." And I didn't even use as much as the recipe called for! Because this is such a fresh and colorful dish I thought it would be better suited with fresh basil, and I used halved grape tomatoes for additional color and texture. I went heavier on the garlic, about one clove for the recipe scaled to two servings. I served this with a rather robust chicken dish so the fact this was light on any additional spices or herbs made this the perfect accompaniment. I think what I like best about this is that it's just so darn pretty on the plate!
Mark P
Very good. I tried this recipe to use up some extra pine nuts and I
wasn't just pleasantly surprised, I was astonished how good it was. The
cheese adds a delicious creaminess; the tomatoes provide a refreshing
tang; the pine nuts give a wonderful fragrance; the orzo and wilted
spinach in spices serve as a nice base. And it's quite pretty.
One nice feature of the recipe is that the main ingredients are prepared separately so each person can mix them to his or her own preference. (I like more spinach (50% more) and much more tomatoes (100% more) and less cheese (33% less).)
Some changes: I used half the olive oil and 2/3rds the butter.

I cover payments, cryptography, and digital currencies.
BitPay, Inc. announced today that they have completed a seed funding round of $510,000 from several angel investors demonstrating that bitcoin can attract the capital necessary to encroach upon legacy payment methods. Similar to merchant processors for credit and debit cards, BitPay is a Payment Service Provider (PSP) specializing in eCommerce, B2B, and enterprise solutions for virtual currencies.
Investors participating in the seed round include SecondMarket founder Barry Silbert, Spotify investor Shakil Khan, Jimmy Furland, Roger Ver, and other Internet entrepreneurs. Specific terms of the deal were not disclosed but co-founders Anthony Gallippi and Stephen Pair will retain majority ownership. Investors Silbert and Ver also participated in the April 2012 funding round for mining pool operator CoinLab.
CEO Anthony Gallippi says, "BitPay plans to use the funds to move the headquarters from Orlando to Atlanta and to hire additional developer talent for enhancement to the BitPay platform." With proximity to other financial technology companies and several leading universities, Atlanta provides an excellent base for expansion.
Gallippi added that the WordPress decision to begin accepting Bitcoin via BitPay for certain features is "what really accelerated this funding round because investors saw it as the ideal time to move forward." Since the November 2012 WordPress deal, BitPay has seen new merchants increase by nearly 50% to over 2,000.
The total dollar value of all bitcoin transactions processed by BitPay in 2012 was over $3 million, which represents average quarter-to-quarter growth of 50% over the past four quarters for transaction volume.
"With very little resource, BitPay has already taken the place as market leader in the bitcoin payment processing ecosystem, and along with the other investors, I am very excited to help the founding team scale up and take it to the next level," said London-based Shakil Khan, an early investor in Spotify and SecondMarket.
The value proposition to merchants is clear — eliminate fraud and chargeback risk, accept transactions from any country in the world, and increase profitability by saving on processing fees and PCI Compliance costs.
"Credit cards were never designed for the Internet," stated Gallippi. Using a credit card over the internet is a situation known as card-not-present. "It was never intended when credit cards were designed, and when we try to use them this way it carries higher processing fees and substantially higher risk. Payment fraud represents nearly 1% of our GDP [$100 billion] in the United States." Shockingly, the large majority of that is a direct hit to the retailers.
So far, BitPay's notable competition in the space is Denmark-based WalletBit and Colorado-based Paysius. Also, the proof-of-concept AcceptBit solution takes things in a different direction altogether with a trust-free payment processor.
Although BitPay is the worldwide leader now with payment plugins for the most common eCommerce shopping carts and multilingual support in over eight languages, they will have to continue innovating with superior features and expanded settlement currency options.
The overwhelming majority of BitPay merchants settle in U.S. dollars because the company does not yet offer direct settlement into other currencies. Furthermore, as almost all merchants start out converting 100% of their Bitcoin proceeds into U.S. dollars, the company acknowledged that the trend is heading towards 50% or less as merchants increasingly decide to maintain proprietary Bitcoin balances.
While that may be good for the future of bitcoin, it alters the business model for payment processors like BitPay because they are forced to rely more on the Bitcoin-only processing spread which is justified by customer support and user-friendly plugins. Also, they risk being seen as just an unnecessary intermediary.
In a bitcoin-only world for selling and buying without conversion to national fiat currencies, the line between processors and wallets becomes blurred. If the bitcoin payment processing industry is indeed headed towards sophisticated, feature-rich deterministic wallets and built-in risk management functionality, the leading processor should have a great advantage in steering the transition.
Follow author on Twitter.
I wonder how long it will take the rest of the world to realize that the ability to move money instantly, anywhere, with zero chargeback risk, is valuable. People laughed at Bitcoin because it was "purely digital"… as if the internet itself wasn't.
When you say that they are heading for 50% retention in BTC, is this because they are going to do their procurement in BTC or because BTC is seen as a better store of value than USD at the moment?
The biggest thing BitPay has going for it are Stephanie and Allison. 1/2 million is hardly any money at all. They will soon be using that money for a second round of financing. But with Stephanie and Allison's help I think it can be accomplished. They are Hot. For me I would have thought a better investment would have been bitcoins.
Bitcoin Is truly revolutionary, I've decided to do something good with my Bitcoins and I donated over 400$ worth of bitcoins to charities. I encourage you to do the same http://bitcoinstocharity.org

News Article
Mere days after director Guillermo del Toro announced he was in development on a new Hitchcockian TV series, the hardest working man in the genre has another TV series in development. This one is set up at FX, and is going straight to pilot.
The show will be called The Strain, based on a three-novel series del Toro co-wrote with Chuck Hogan. The book series takes the traditional monsters-created-by-virus story, but instead of zombies, it is a vampire virus. The story follows the CDC doctor who is investigating the virus.
Del Toro and Hogan will co-write the pilot. Carlton Cuse (who has another high-profile genre TV series in production: Bates Motel) will help develop The Strain and should it go to series, he will be showrunner.

*Greg Baer*
*REAL LOVE: The Love We've All Been Looking For*
We've heard songs about it, seen it in the movies, heard it talked about on Oprah by relationship experts, and read about it in thousands of self help books. But, what is unconditional love? We all want to feel loved. We think about it, hope for it, fantasize about it, go to great lengths to achieve it, and feel that our lives are incomplete without it. The lack of unconditional love is the cause of most of our anger and confusion. It is no exaggeration to say that our emotional need for unconditional love is just as great as our physical need for air and food.

Associate Editor
FULTON, Ill. —
Using the River Bend Middle School and Elementary hallways and cafeteria as an art gallery makes perfect sense to Mackenzie Jackson and Ashley Thicksten.
That's why they're using those locations as a place to spotlight students' art work this week, and parents are getting a firsthand glimpse into what their children are doing in class. This week marks the third year that kindergarten through 12th grade students in the River Bend School District are displaying work in a district-wide art show at River Bend middle and elementary schools. Jackson oversees middle school and high school, while Thicksten manages kindergarten through fifth grade.
For Jackson, the show represents a time for parents to see the great strides children are making in art class.
"It's a very positive event," Jackson said. "A lot of parents get to see the artwork, and the kids all say their art is in a show, so parents make a point to see it."
The cafeteria's walls in the middle school and the hallway leading to the elementary school are covered with art, representing approximately 1,000 pieces of art, Jackson said.
Some are more advanced than others, but Thicksten said the show presents an opportunity for elementary students to become better artists.
"I view what I do is that I help them lay the foundation to make this a better district program," Thicksten said. "This exposes them to different media and gives them more of an exposure to art."
The show isn't judged, but that doesn't mean students don't take the show seriously. Jackson and Thicksten encourage each student to save their best work during the year to present the best work they have done, whether that be for a kindergartener or high school senior.
One item that has helped make this a broader event is the evolution of making this a district-wide show.
In the past, Jackson said, different grades held a separate display. Now, everything is viewable during an entire week.
"We just didn't have people coming in to see this stuff," Jackson said. "We decided that it would be nice to join forces and set it up that way. One central location made it ideal."
This week's show also coincides with the elementary school open house tonight.
"The kids love to see their art work," Thicksten said. "They're very enthusiastic."
High school students also will bring their artwork to the middle school from 6 to 7 p.m. today for onlookers to view.

August 2, 2014
If you're up early Saturday morning, and aren't afraid of the cold (and dark!), it may be worth taking a look at the Orionid Meteor Shower.
There are a lot of factors that can hamper meteor shower viewing, but those factors look to be minimal for Wisconsin by early tomorrow morning. Commonly, the moonlight can be too bright, and cloud cover can completely ruin viewing meteor showers at times. The moon will be in a waning crescent phase (about 30% visible) and while there will be some clouds out there, there will still be some gaps in the clouds throughout the early part of Saturday morning.
Viewing will be best both outside of the city limits and looking off to the southeastern part of the sky. Meteors will peak at 20 to 30 per hour, and should have some great colors as the streak across the sky.
I'm sure I won't be the only one out there viewing them Saturday morning! Feel free to post any pictures you get of them here.

The Michigan High School Athletic Association(MHSAA) announced finalists for the 2012-2013 Scholar-Athlete Award last week, and an Orchard Lake St. Mary's Prep student made the cut.
Jacob Presto is a finalist in Class A this year.
Of the 120 finalists announced, 32 will be chosen to receive the $1,000 scholarships. Award winners are chosen based on a combination of athletic and academic excellence.
To be eligible for the award, students must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.50 (on a 4.0 scale), and previously have won a varsity letter in at least one sport in which the MHSAA sponsors a postseason tournament. Students also were asked to respond to a series of short essay questions, submit two letters of recommendation and submit a 500-word essay on the importance of sportsmanship in educational athletics, according to the MHSAA.
On average, finalists participate in at least two sports. There are 59 three-plus sport participants in the finalist field this year, and all but one of the 28 sports in which the MHSAA sponsors postseason tournaments are represented, according to the MHSAA release.
Selection of the 32 scholarship recipients will take place in early February. Class C and D scholarship recipients will be announced on February 5; Class B scholarship recipients will be announced on February 12, and Class A scholarship recipients will be announced on February 29. All announcements will be made on the MHSAA website.
To honor the 32 Scholar-Athlete Award recipients, a ceremony will take place during halftime of the Class C Boys Basketball Final, March 23, at the Breslin Student Events Center in East Lansing.

About the yarn:
Eco2cotton™ is made from a custom designed defiberization process that helps conserve our natural resources. This waste, collected fibers and clippings from the cut and sew process, are sorted and blended for both consistency and color. Through this sorting process, the revitalized fibers keep more of their original color, so less dyes and harmful chemicals are used during production. This process also reduces landfill use, energy, and the need for new cotton (land, water, fertilizer, pesticides). These yarns typically have other acrylic, polyester, or other fibers added to enhance their performance, but the blend remains primarily

The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office indicated Thursday it is expecting a rather large turn-out for this Saturday's gun buy-back event at the San Mateo County Event Center.
They also advised, in a statement sent out Thursday, that the buy-back will be a "drive-through" event.
"All firearms must be unloaded and stored in the trunk of the vehicle, with all magazines and ammunition stored separately, outside the trunk," the statement read.
"Citizens who attempt to walk up to the turn-in site will be directed to place their firearm(s) in their vehicle and drive onto the site."
The Sheriff's Office has indicated that this weekend's buy-back will be completely anonymous, with "no questions asked," and that, once a firearm turned in has been found not to have previously been reported lost or stolen, it will be destroyed by the Sheriff's Office.
The event will take place this Saturday, Jan. 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Event Center, located at 1346 Saratoga Dr. at the corner of Delaware Avenue in San Mateo.
For more information on the gun buy-back event, including "Frequently Asked Questions," see our previous article, "San Mateo County Gun Buyback FAQ."
