I have recently adopted a beautiful young female heeler, FLOWER, from the Poudre Puppy Rescue out of Loveland, Colorado. She was abused and abandoned along with her puppies. Fortunately, she and her puppies were taken in and cared for by the Poudre Puppy Rescue. All of her puppies have found homes and it seems, through my correspondence with Joelle @ the Rescue, that FLOWER is just what I've been looking for and accordingly me for her. I can't tell you how excited I was when Joelle gave me the news that FLOWER and I would be a great fit for one another. I'm anxious to get her here so I can provide her the love and security she so deserves. I'm grateful to find a sight such as this one that is willing to help out with the relocation of these abused discarded dogs. Without the help of others I wouldn't be able to get FLOWER up here. If there's anyone out there that could possibly help in getting FLOWER to her forever home - from Denver/Fort Collins/Loveland, Colorado airport to the Minot International Airport of North Dakota please let me know.
I have received an email back from a pilot that would be willing to take FLOWER from Denver to KRAP (Rapid City) on a weekend transport - Hopefully someone could leg her up from Rapid City to Minot? But as this pilot mentioned, with smaller planes and a transport that includes multiple legs, the general recommendation is to try and have an emergency foster lined up just in case there is a problem with the handoff (weather/mechanical concerns/etc. delaying the 2nd leg of the flight). So, I'm posting in hopes of possibly finding someone in Denver that may be able to make the round-trip to Minot in a day? Thank you for your time and consideration of this transport request.etc.333

Consider studying during the summer in Madrid, the geographic center of Spain and the historic center of the entire Hispanic world. The city of four million is a modern European hub with state-of-the-art transportation and cyber cafes, but its Old World charm shines through in its long afternoon siestas, its warm and friendly people, and its majestic monuments of Spain's glorious past. Students will have the opportunity to visit flamenco clubs, the bullfight, tapas bars, and world-class museums, as well as to participate in Madrid's seemingly endless nightlife, as the streets overflow with people having a glass of sangria, talking to neighbors, and in general, enjoying life in this vibrant city.
Program Dates, Structure, and Course Structure
The group departs from Atlanta for Madrid on July 3, 2014, and returns to Atlanta on August 8, 2014. All classes are held at the Colegio Mayor de Padre Poveda, where the program is housed. Students can take one or two three-hour courses. Courses will meet in the classroom twice a week and students will participate in required field trips on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Students will have three day weekends to travel in Spain or other European countries. Students are also required to participate in a one-credit hour mandatory culture course held once a week.
On the first weekend, the program organizes group excursions, but all weekends thereafter are free so that students may explore Madrid or other parts of Spain, Europe, and Africa. The Spain program also organizes optional weekend excursions for an additional cost. Excursions change every year but students in the past have visited South of Spain, North of Spain, Portugal, and Barcelona, to name a few.
Program Costs
The package of $ 5,100 for the five-week program includes round trip airfare from Atlanta to Madrid, transportation to and from the airport to the hotel, accommodations for the entire time in Spain, a primary health insurance policy providing coverage for medical expenses, and a pass for travel on the metro system within the city of Madrid. The program also includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner Monday through Wednesday, and breakfast only on Thursday-Sunday. There will also be a welcome dinner during the first weekend in Spain and a farewell dinner.
The package does not include tuition, additional meals, passport and related expenses, spending money, travel to Atlanta, or other costs beyond those listed above.
Health Matters and Insurance
Participants are provided with health-care from CISI insurance (Cultural Insurance Services International) that covers them while they are abroad. Information about local doctors and medical facilities will be available from the program director.
Students with special medical problems may be required to provide a physician's assurance of their ability to undertake foreign travel and study. It is not possible for the European Council to guarantee accessible facilities abroad for students with special needs.
Participants should bring medications they regularly depend upon and should have copies of prescriptions in generic form in case they need to acquire additional medications.
No special immunizations are needed to enter Spain, and the International Immunization Certificate is not required.
Passports and Visas:
Everyone who travels to Spain must have a valid passport. Participants with expired passports should have them renewed. Participants who have never had a passport should begin the process of obtaining one immediately as it often takes more than 3 months to get a passport. Inquire at your local post office for instructions on obtaining a passport.
Holders of U.S. passports do not need visas to enter Spain for summer study. Participants traveling on passports of other countries should contact their campus representative for assistance in determining whether they need a visa.
Some countries require that your passport be valid at least three months (3) months beyond the dates of your trip. Some airlines will not allow you to board if this requirement is not met.
Please visit the Department of State's website for more information on how to apply for a passport. Students are required to turn in a copy of their passport by April 8th, 2014 to avoid a $50 late fee.
The Colegio Mayor Padre Poveda is one of many student residences in the ciudad universitaria, or the University City, on the western side of Madrid. The area reflects the presence of the almost one hundred thousand students who live and study there. Nearby, subway and bus stops connect students to downtown Madrid as well as all the major points of air, rail, and bus travel. Students may choose between a single room and a double room (shared with a roommate). Towels and bed linens are furnished. The front desk is staffed twenty-four hours a day.
You can visit the Colegio's website at http://www.cmppoveda.org/
All meals will be provided Monday through Wednesday in the dining hall at Padre Poveda; on Thursdays through Sunday, breakfast only is provided. The program will try to meet individual dietary preferences, but students must understand that the lunch and dinner in the Colegio is provided in a cafeteria setting and choices are limited. It is not like many cafeterias in the US that allow students to choose from different cuisines and options. Also, traditional Spanish cuisine such as that provided by the Colegio relies heavily on meat, fish, and eggs: vegetarianism is not as common in Spain as it is in the US and the Colegio does not as a matter of course provide a vegetarian option. Therefore, as with most issues involving foreign travel, students must be flexible and creative when it comes to meals.
All rooms have internet access for students who bring laptop computers.
Courses in the 2014 summer program to Madrid (Spain) are part of the regular course offerings of member institutions; therefore, students may apply for loans or grants for which they would normally be eligible. Students should apply for financial aid at the campus where they are registering for courses. Campus representatives will assist students in obtaining information about financial aid. Students must meet all campus requirements in applying for financial aid.
The package cost of $5100 for the five-week program includes:
- Round-trip airfare from Atlanta to Madrid
- Airport transfers in Madrid to and from the colegio
- Lodging at the colegio
- 13 meals per week
- Pass for unlimited travel on the Madrid subway and bus system.
- A primary health insurance policy
- First week-end activities (bus tour of Madrid, tapas restaurant, flamenco club, and guided excursion to Toledo)
- An on-site travel consultant
- A farewell party
The package cost does not include tuition, textbooks, extra meals, entrance fees, and weekend travel expenses, passport and related expenses, spending money, ground transport to and from the U.S. airport through which flights will be scheduled, or any other costs beyond those listed above.
Students should plan to budget a minimum of $2000 for extra meals, entertainment expenses, entrance fees to museums, and field trip costs. If students plan extensive travel or major shopping, additional funds should be budgeted. Some course excursions might involve additional fees; course instructors will inform students if such fees apply at the mandatory student orientation on May 17.
All costs are subject to change because of unanticipated increases in airfares or other program elements, as well as fluctuations in monetary exchange rates. The European Council makes every effort to keep program costs as advertised and will inform prospective participants of any changes as they occur.

Students who fail to attend will be penalized by dropping the final grades for study abroad courses by an entire letter; if you receive an "A" in the course, the grade of "B" will be submitted to your home institution as your final grade.
Flight Deviation/Separate Airfare
Airfare is included in the price of the program. However, if you wish to arrive to Madrid sooner, or stay later, there is a *possibility* that you can do this at an additional expense to you. Students are also allowed to do 100% of their own airfare; however, in order to keep our group rate only a certain number of students may do this and must receive authorization from the EC coordinator. If you are given permission to do your own airfare, $1200 will be deducted from your SECOND payment. All deviation and separate airfare request must be submitted by April 8th and these opportunities are provided on a first come first serve basis. All requests submitted after April 8th will be denied.
Students can chose to take one or two classes in addition to the mandatory, 1 credit hour, "Introduction to Spanish Culture". All courses with the exception of the culture class are 3 credit hours and students should check with campus representatives to determine course equivalencies at the home institution.
LD-Lower Division Course
UD-Upper Division Course
choose only one class
Intermediate Spanish II, Spanish 2002
Professor Anisio Santos (Georgia College and State University)
Intermediate Spanish II is an intermediate Spanish readings course for students who have completed three semesters of Spanish or the equivalent requirements. It is also the preparatory course for more advanced study. The emphasis is on the conversational use of practical, high-frequency vocabulary for communication. In the four chapters each lesson also presents a review of Spanish grammar to consolidate previous knowledge and strengthen the student's grasp of the tools for speaking.
Intermediate Spanish I, Spanish 2001
Professor David Alley (Georgia Southern University)
Spanish 2001 is an intermediate Spanish course which will help you increase your vocabulary and understand and use more advanced grammar structures. Throughout the course you will practice speaking, listening, reading, and writing Spanish. Additional topics include Hispanic culture and communities and connections between Spanish and other disciplines.
Human Sexuality and Religion (UD)
Professor Louis Ruprecht (Georgia State University)
The intent of this course is to help students arrive at an understanding and appreciation of the complex and varied roles of males and females in the context of Religion. We shall explore a variety of situations found in religious texts, ancient and contemporary interpretations and in everyday life. While an essential part of the course will take the form of lectures, a major component will consist of discussion and co- inquiry. On completion of this course the student will be able to discern and have knowledge of the following: Biblical depiction of male and female Reasons for using the terms male and female over against masculine and feminine Ecclesiastical and political institutions in shaping the consciousness of gender roles Role of tradition in establishing gender roles How translations and particular hermeneutical principles have determined what we hear about the nature of human sexuality and the roles of men and women
The United States and the Spanish Civil War (UD)
Professor Mark Huddle (Georgia College and State University)
The Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939, pitted the popularly elected Socialist government of Spain against the Spanish fascists led by General Francisco Franco. The conflict quickly became an ideological proxy war as Germany and Italy intervened on the side of Franco and the Soviet Union threw its support behind Republican Spain. In the United State, the conflict was divisive. The government refused to publicly support the democratically-elected Spanish regime, but on the American political left, the war was a cause célèbre. This course will survey the political and economic history of Spain and the causes of the war, the political ideologies of early 20th century Europe as well as US role in the war.
World Literature II (LD)
Professor Mary Marwitz (Georgia Southern University)
This survey of great works of literature from 1700 to the present studies some of the forces that shaped the modern and postmodern world, with emphasis on critical reading and writing skills. Since we're in Spain, we'll begin slightly earlier, with Cervantes' Don Quixote (1604, 1615), about the hero of Spanish literature, and gain a window into the waning days of the Renaissance. Other works will introduce us to heroes and heroines, to family conflict, to narratives of great adventure and emotional upheavals—to stories that capture the essence of our common humanity.
Introduction to Cultural Anthropology (LD)
Professor Young (Clayton State College)
An exploration of races and cultures of our world and the intergroup relations that emerge from ethnic, religious, cultural, class, gender and other differences are considered basic to developing an understanding of our society. Our ability to observe different cultural entities in Spain such as the architecture, Spanish festivals, theater, the arts and food, daily life, symbolic bullfighting, religious practices, and ties that connect marriage, family and kinship, will help us to understand concepts such as ethnocentrism, cultural relativity, and participant observation. As we broaden our awareness and knowledge of other group's experiences and perspectives, we will gain tools for more effective intercultural communications, strengthen our ability to interact and work with others unlike ourselves, and be given a mirror in which to see our own cultural group more clearly. Join us as we explore the city of Madrid, and the natural surrounding countryside, people, and culture of Spain!
Cross-Cultural Psychology (UD)
Professor Ginny Zhan (Kennesaw State University)
This course provides an overview of the study and application of psychological principles from a global perspective. Topics include cognition, communication, human development, personality, perception, mental health and others, and they will be discussed in the contexts of different cultural backgrounds of Asian, African, European and North and South American cultures. Being part of a Study Abroad program, we will take advantage of being in Madrid and incorporate aspects of Spanish culture and its influence on perception and behavior into the course. Cultural and behavioral similarities and differences between cultures and within the culture will be examined and discussed.
Survey of Economics (LD)
Professor Ellis Heath (Valdosta State University)
Work on your Area E core requirements in the cosmopolitan city of Madrid, Spain. A good understanding of economics is a must to survive comfortably in today's world. Economics is more than business; it is about how to make choices that maximize your happiness. And what could be a better choice than learning economics in Spain. During your 5 weeks abroad you will learn basic economic concepts to give you a taste of what economics is about.
choose only one
Spanish Conversation (UD)
Professor David Alley (Georgia Southern University)
This course will focus on interpersonal and presentational speaking. Through class activities, homework assignments, and fieldwork in their Spanish-immersion setting students will develop their ability to produce oral Spanish comprehensible to native speakers in a variety of settings, types of discourse, and registers.
Introduction to Religion (LD)
Professor Louis Ruprecht (Georgia State University)
This course is designed to introduce the student to the definitions, perspectives and methods, in the study of Religion. While we shall pursue our objectives from a global perspective, the class is not a study in world's religions per se. We shall examine a variety of topics, the notion being to introduce the student to new ideas and ways of thinking, and in so doing invite the student to connect and pursue those ideas and themes that strike a chord of interest or resonate in some particular way. We will seek to broaden our understanding of various religious claims, and in turn seek to stimulate questions and reflections on contemporary relevance.
United States History since 1877 (LD)
Professor Mark Huddle (Georgia College and State University)
This course is the second half of the American history survey course covering the period from the end of the Civil War to the present. Topics will include Reconstruction, the Industrial Revolution, the Progressive era, WWI, the Roaring 20's, Great Depression, WWII, the Cold War, the 60's, Vietnam, the rise of the conservative right, the Clinton years, and post-9/11 America. The course is taught thematically from a transnational perspective so that students will engage American history in a global context.
Travel Writing (UD)
Professor Mary Marwitz (Georgia Southern University)
This writing workshop course takes you into the culture of Madrid and Spain, asking you to pay close attention to your surroundings and your experiences in them. More than a tourist guide, Travel Writing moves between the external and the internal, and between the objective and the subjective, allowing the writer to have her/his voice heard. You'll write about food, fashion, and flamenco; you may explore the bullfight or public parks; you'll visit museums and the Rastro, and perhaps a concert or a Turkish bath. You'll read instructive essays, respond to peers' work, and discover your own Spanish experience.
Introduction to Psychology (LD)
Professor Ginny Zhan (Kennesaw State University)
Introduction to Psychology is an introduction to the scientific study of human behavior. A foundational course in the discipline of psychology for majors and non-majors, this course provides an overview of the basic principles guiding psychological processes of human behavior in areas such as learning, memory, lifespan human development, psychological disorders, and many others. Being part of a Study Abroad program, aspects of the host culture and its effect on observed behavior will also be examined and incorporated into the course content.
Social Class in Spain (UD)
Professor Karen Young (Clayton State College)
Different forms of social organization work to empower members of some social groups and disadvantage others, in systematic and regular ways. Otherwise known as inequality, its study focuses primarily on class differences, power differences, and status differences. We will examine a wide range of kinds of power – including economic, political, sexual, and cultural – and do so within a variety of social and historical settings. In our discussion of the inequities of historical and contemporary Spanish class structure, we will discover the who's who in the Spanish political elite and consider different class positions of those within Spanish society – the upper (ruling) class, the middle class, the working class, and finally, the poor. Join us as we use the underpinnings of historical and contemporary Spanish culture to discover that power is not something abstract and distant. Power is, in fact, an entity that permeates all human relationships, shapes who we are as individuals, and helps determine what we can become as social beings. This class requires either SOCI 1101, ANTH 1102 or POLS 2201 as prerequisite courses.
International Economics (UD)
Professor Ellis Heath (Valdosta State University)
The world economy has never been more integrated in any time in history than it is today. While understanding international economics in the past was optional, today it is a must. And there is no better place than Europe to acquire this knowledge, so come to Madrid, Spain for 5 weeks and work on your IB and/or ECON majors (or business electives). While there, we will examine the international exchange of goods, services and financial instruments and the policies that affect this exchange.

Advice from Previous Madrid Students
1. Pace yourself. Get good sleep. Plan out your days.
2. Pack light so that you have room to expand.
3. Be friendly and don't get caught up in a clique.
4. Keep an open mind—this isn't the USA.
5. Take at least one weekend to explore Madrid.
6. Go on the optional weekend trips. So worth the money!
7. Learn some Spanish (so helpful) and talk to someone who came on the trip before.
8. Drink lots of water.
9. Wear comfortable shoes.
10. Get ready for the time of your life.

I'm lucky to have my own driveway in NYC. I'm also lucky to have a beautiful apple tree that blooms to park underneath. The only problem is hundreds of birds love this tree too. Therefore going to the car wash has become a routine trip. I'm amazed that for $10 you can get a full car wash that includes a full cleaning of the interior too.
My mother is a avid gardener. There were four large planters outside my building that were just dirt and weeds to I asked her to help me choose some plants to fix the situation. You can see the full set of photos of my "garden": click here

Objective: This multisite randomized trial addressed risks and benefits of staying on long-acting injectable haloperidol or fluphenazine versus switching to long-acting injectable risperidone microspheres.
Method: From December 2004 through March 2008, adult outpatients with a Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders-Patient Edition diagnosis of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder who were taking haloperidol decanoate (n = 40) or fluphenazine decanoate (n = 22) were randomly assigned to stay on current long-acting injectable medication or switch to risperidone microspheres and followed for 6 months under study protocol and an additional 6 months naturalistic follow-up. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses were used to examine the primary outcome (time to treatment discontinuation), and random regression models were used to examine secondary outcomes.
Results: Groups did not differ significantly in time to treatment discontinuation through 6 months of protocol-driven treatment. When the 6-month naturalistic follow-up period was included, time to treatment discontinuation was significantly shorter for individuals assigned to switch than for individuals assigned to stay (10% of stayers discontinued versus 31% of switchers; P = .01). Groups did not differ with respect to psychopathology, hospitalizations, sexual side effects, new-onset tardive dyskinesia, or new-onset extrapyramidal symptoms. However, those randomized to switch to long-acting injectable risperidone microspheres had greater increases in body mass (increase of 1.0 body mass index [BMI] versus decrease of −0.3 BMI; P = .00) and prolactin (maximum increase to 23.4 ng/mL versus decrease to 15.2 ng/mL, P = .01) compared to those randomized to stay.
Conclusion: Switching from haloperidol decanoate or fluphenazine decanoate to risperidone microspheres resulted in more frequent treatment discontinuation as well as significant weight gain and increases in prolactin.

Health & Safety:
DPS is great until it comes to parties, then they suck. They are so mean sometimes. Luckily they fired the worst guy.
Health & Safety:
The campus is extremely safe--Danville isn't exactly Miami--but I've had things stolen from my room and my friends' rooms presumably by the maintenance crew, who are extremely unhelpful, invade your room while you're on break, move things around, break them, tear down curtains, and take possessions without any notification or chance of return. Write your name on everything that can be easily taken.
Health & Safety:
There are some that walks around the campus that you would not notice. Which is good.
Health & Safety:
Sometimes can be mean. But for the most part are awesome.
Health & Safety:
I have never felt unsafe at Centre. Crime is practically unheard of and DPS does nightly rounds around campus to check for creeps. People leave their doors unlocked a lot because they know nobody is going to take their stuff. It's even common for people to leave their laptops sitting at a table in the library or somewhere if they need to run to print something out, get food etc. It'll still be sitting there when they get back. You can also call DPS at any time if you feel unsafe walking around campus and they will pick you up and drive you to your dorm if you really want them to. I have a friend who called them so she could talk to them on her way back from the frats because she didn't like walking alone and they were more than happy to stay on the phone with her.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Aaron Edwards
Danville itself has a very low crime rate, and it makes sense that the even smaller campus would follow this trend. Although crime is not completely unknown on campus, the usual problems are petty theft and vandalism. Most of the thefts that do occur happen in dorms or cars from people outside the Centre bubble, and they usually are the result of students leaving their cars or dorms unlocked. Many students, and faculty members for that matter, leave their belongings unattended in places such as the library or Cowan with little fear of theft or damage. In regards to personal safety, the Department of Public Safety ought to be commended for their late-night patrols, transports around campus at any time of day (or weather), and general concern for the well-being of students, like jump-starting your car at 2 a.m. so you can go to Arby's.
DPS officers know almost all the students by nickname, even the freshmen, and although this dedicated attention can sometimes be unwanted, it speaks to the security and community emphasis on Centre's grounds. Most of the reports DPS receives are about noisy neighbors or parking violations, and they are quick to appear on the scene to issue tickets or quiet things down. They also maintain an online crime log that usually gets more laughs than concern. Safety and security is taken very seriously at Centre, and the security the students feel reflects it.

Library news and happenings.
One of our staff recently gave me an editorial on the importance of "every word." The author wrote of "pockets of language poverty," a phrase I had not heard before. One example he wrote about is when parents are unemployed, kids lose the secondary benefit of casual access to workplace words. Hearing the terms that are part of the workplace enhances a child's understanding of the world.
Increasingly kids are not hearing and learning the words they need to be successful. Reading is one way to learn new words and be transported to different times and places; learning through conversation can be equally important.
This is a good reminder to all of us who work with, live with, know kids…..read with them, encourage them to read, talk with them, share your experiences. We all have a part in giving kids the many words they need to make their way in the world.
September is "Library Card Sign-up Month." 2012 marks the 25th anniversary of this monthly designation during which libraries across the country remind parents that a library card is the most important school supply of all.
The honorary chair this year is two-time Super Bowl champion Troy Polamalu of the Pittsburgh Steelers. You can see him on our website holding a KPL card!
Once again, we will be issuing library cards to all 1st graders in Kalamazoo Public Schools (KPS) who do not already have one. All 1,100+ first graders will visit a KPL location twice this fall. We will have library cards ready for them; they will select a book to take home and check it out on their library card. A few weeks later they will come again to return the book and check out another. We hope this will establish a routine for regular family visits.
If you know a KPS 1st grader, later this month ask them about their library visit and ask to see their library card. Even better ask any student you know to show you their card and if they don't have one, encourage them to visit any of our locations to register for a card as the first step in becoming a regular library user.
I'm always sorry to see summer and beach reading days come to an end. I admit to having spent many hours sitting on the beach reading this summer BUT not necessarily reading "beach reads."
"Beach reads" has a bad rap. One definition I saw recently: breezy, lightweight for pool or lakeside reading." Well, many of the books I read this summer at the Lake Michigan beach do not fit this definition. Among others, I read and recently blogged about The President's Club. I read The Tiger's Wife for August book group; Canada, Richard Ford's new book; A Hundred Flowers; Destiny of the Republic; By the Iowa Sea; The Snow Child; among others, all from our collection.
Although I am hoping for at least one more weekend of beach reading, I'm moving into another season of reading—primarily in my living room instead of the beach—but my book choices aren't going to change.
What did you read this summer? Do your reading choices vary by season?

The Silver Creek girls' cross country team protected its home course on Tuesday at Silver Creek Primary School by winning the Silver Creek Dragon Invitational with 61 points.
The Dragons had three runners finish in the top 10. Juniors Maggie Shields placed third, Mackenzie Crouch wound up fifth and Jessica Backherms was 10th. Rounding out the Silver Creek scoring were Brittany Sharp in 16th and Sandy Wagner in 18th.
"The girls again proved to be up to the challenge to win the invitational," Dragons' coach Darrell Kingery said. "We continue to get better even though we have not had one race where everyone ran well on the same day. Hopefully, we will be able to do that when the time is right. But for right now, we will celebrate an outstanding team effort."
Charlestown ended up fifth, followed by Jeffersonville and Henryville. Hornet senior Sadie Spears ran second in the girls' race, 11 seconds behind winner Ashton Bosler from North Harrison. New Washington freshman Olivia Graebe ended up seventh, and Pirate junior Whitney Andrews was eighth.
The Borden boys' team finished second with 91 points. Silver Creek placed fourth, followed by Henryville in fifth.
Brave sophomore Julien Magallanes won the race in a time of 16:13. Henryville's Jacob Hedrick placed fifth, while Home School Union's Michael Sheets finished 12th.
Borden's Nathen Magallanes placed 15th, followed by Silver Creek's Tanner Coots, the Braves' George Tipker, the Dragons' Dalton Terry and Borden's Gavin Tipker.
"I thought our boys ran hard and fourth for us right now is very good," Kingery said. "We are a little beat up with injuries, but many of the guys stepped up and got the job done. If we can get healthy, we can be a major factor come sectional time."
At Silver Creek Primary School
Team scores: Silver Creek 61, North Harrison 80, Seymour 94, Switzerland County 150, Charlestown 195, Jeffersonville 216, Henryville 253, Crawford County 271, Lanesville 289, Borden 289, Trinity Lutheran 316, New Washington 320, Corydon Central 324, Home School Union 343.

Is ex-Colt (and now, ex-Redskins) punter Hunter Smith unemployed again? One story comes out and says so ("The Washington Redskins signed punter Josh Bidwell to a contract this morning, effectively ending the run of veteran Hunter Smith with the team"), whereas the Washington Post Skins blog says he "... hasn't ruled out returning to the Redskins..." (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/bruce-allen/hunter-smith-isnt-ruling-out-a.html). He was a good player for the Colts in his day, and many of us fans were wishing him well wherever he went. Hopefully, he'll land on his feet elsewhere; he'll be able to contribute to a team in need of a good punter.

Bake the Book: Custard Tart
With a golden tint that belies plenty of eggy richness, The Complete Nose to Tail piles on the yolks for a custard tart that relies on only nutmeg and vanilla to round out its flavor.
Tips & Tweaks: This tart requires ten yolks, which is the better part of a fresh carton of eggs. Reserve the whites to make meringues, or a few egg white omelettes the next morning.
As always with our Bake the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of The Complete Nose to Tail to give away.

Home Press Releases Banyan Tree announces Adrian Croft as Director of Sales & Marketing for Banyan Tree PhuketPress Release
Banyan Tree announces Adrian Croft as Director of Sales & Marketing for Banyan Tree Phuket
Category: Corporate Announcements
20 May 2011
Singapore, 20 May 2011 – Banyan Tree Holdings Limited ("Banyan Tree" or "Group"), a leading manager and developer of premium resorts, hotels, spas and galleries, announces the appointment of Adrian Croft as the Director of Sales & Marketing for the Group's flagship property, Banyan Tree Phuket, effective mid June 2011.
Mr Croft started his career at Banyan Tree in 2006 as the Director of Sales, UK where he successfully managed leisure accounts and business out of the UK. He also held the role of Director of Sales & Marketing for Angsana Riads Collection, Morocco where he was involved in pre-opening and opening of six riads, responsible for marketing plans, rates and sales strategy.
With the experience gained from his most recent role as Regional Director, Marketing – Europe, he will be a valuable asset in growing the market for Banyan tree Phuket, which has remained a favourite with European travellers since opening in 1994.
Mr Croft's appointment comes at an opportune time as Banyan Tree Phuket is about to embark on repositioning campaigns for the premium villa categories including Double Pool Villa and Spa Pool Villa. The DoublePool Villas at Banyan Tree Phuket bring the concept of a 'resort within a resort' where each of the 24 villas have a land area of between 1,300 to 2,500sq m each, in one, two and three-bedroom configurations. Exclusively tucked away from the world and surrounded by private, expansive gardens, DoublePool Villas offer guests an oasis of tranquillity.
The new Banyan Tree Spa Sanctuary presents a Sanctuary for The Senses with its niche 14-villa resort haven setting. Exclusively managed by award-winning Banyan Tree Spa, it will feature luxurious spa pool villa accommodation infused with spa touch points, healthy cuisine, award-winning spa and wellness experience.
The resort is designed for guests to embark on a journey of rejuvenation and wellness with experiences to indulge and soothe all senses. Guests can look forward to three packages – Spa Discovery for spa initiation, Spa Ultimate for unlimited massages and Retreat for The Senses for a holistic spa-centric journey – each tailored for a different level of pampering spa indulgence. All packages feature in-villa massages, welcome foot ritual, a wellness consultation with the Ayurvedic Doctor, and a range of complimentary activities including Morning Yoga at the Orchid Garden, Thai High Tea at The Cha lounge, early jog, kayaking, sunset beach volleyball to learning basic Thai.
Mr Croft's replacement will be announced at a later date along with other appointments for the Regional Marketing Offices for Europe, Middle East and the Americas (EMEA).

The French restaurant on Pacific Coast Highway between Ruby and Sapphire streets has changed hands once again.
Dominique's Kitchen—named for owner-chef Dominique Theval—opened last week in the space vacated by Oh La La! Pasta (formerly Bistro Oh La La!), according to an item on EaterLA. Oh La La! replaced Le Beaujolais in July 2011.
The latest restaurant bills itself as "a casual neighborhood hangout serving reasonably priced Euro-French cuisine" in a paragraph on its website.
"Our goal is to make good food an everyday occasion for the neighborhood," according to the website.
The menu offers items like baked snails in garlic butter, garlic fries with mayonnaise, spicy lamb sausage, slow braised beef short ribs, Boston sea scallops and more.
There are also two sizes of cheese fondue with a French baguette, priced at $19.99 for two to four people and $26.99 for four or more people.
Theval attended cooking school in France, and has worked as a chef in France, Bermuda, London and Cambodia, according to his biography on the Dominic's Kitchen website. He came to Los Angeles in August 2002 and was hired as the executive chef of Morels French Bistro and Steakhouse in 2002 before moving to Taix, Los Angeles' oldest French restaurant, in 2006.
Dominique's Kitchen is located at 522 S. Pacific Coast Hwy. in South Redondo Beach.

For the Times West Virginian
West Virginia University's resurgent baseball program is exploring the possibility of playing perhaps as many as three of their four Big 12 home series at Hawley Field this season as construction begins on the recently approved baseball stadium that is scheduled to open for the 2015 season.
"We're exploring all options and Morgantown is one, but it hasn't been decided," a source within the department said Tuesday.
Last year, as WVU made an unexpected run toward the Big 12 title that didn't fail until the final weekend under new coach Randy Mazey, WVU played all of its conference games away from Morgantown.
The team used sites around the state, feeling Hawley Field, without locker rooms and other facilities, were not suitable in the first year of league play.
With the new stadium passed, that apparently has become less of an issue as other options are being considered.
WVU actually had dominated its "home" games last year until the final series of the regular season despite the added hardships of being continually on the road except for non-conference engagements at Hawley Field.

Three-time national champion Petra Zublasing won gold in the women's 50m rifle 3 positions Tuesday at the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) Granada World Cup, at the Shooting Range CEAR de Tiro Olimpico Juan Carlos I, in Granada, Spain.
Zublasing, a 2013 West Virginia University graduate, shot five points better than the field in the final and captured her first gold medal in the event with a score of 459.1. Representing Italy, the Appiano native led throughout the final and was the only shooter not to score an 8.0. With the win, she has qualified for the 2013 ISSF World Cup Final, set for Nov. 6-12, in Munich, Germany.
"I am very happy about this medal, my first gold," she said to the ISSF following the match. "I shot a good final, and it's great because today it was so hot here in Granada. It's very energy-consuming to compete in these conditions."
Zublasing entered the final in second place after shooting 586 (197 kneeling, 199 prone, 190 standing) in Tuesday's qualification relay. She shot 579 (191 kneeling, 197 prone, 191 standing) in Tuesday's first elimination relay.
Mountaineer coach Jon Hammond, representing Great Britain, and former WVU shooter Bryant Wallizer, of the United States, also shot in the competition.
Hammond, a native of Aberdeen, Scotland, shot 1141 (383 kneeling, 389 prone, 369 standing) in the men's 50m rifle 3 positions first elimination relay, while Wallizer shot 1131 (380 kneeling, 392 prone, 359 standing) in the event's minimum qualification score (MQS) competition. Neither will shoot in the event's final qualification.

Former West Virginia wide receiver and kick returner Jock Sanders was named the Canadian Football League Special Teams Player for Week 2 of the season.
Sanders returned four kickoffs for 100 yards and six punts for 74 yards to help the Saskatchewan Roughriders defeat the Calgary Stampeders 36-21 and remain undefeated on the season at 2-0.
The former West Virginia Mountaineer and St. Petersburg, Fla., native currently sits in fourth place in combined return yards with 266.

So, with that, pretty much the best you can hope for this weekend is probably three of a possible six points against the Texas Stars and Abbotsford Heat.
The Aeros are going to play first a team with arguably the worst defense/goaltending in the league followed by the team with the best goalie (Leland Irving) and hottest player in the league right now (Krys Kolanos). A three-point weekend without Warren Peters, Nate Prosser, Kris Fredheim and Casey Wellman, in my opinion, would be just gravy. And there is a fair chance that Jon DiSalvatore won't play with a lower body injury. He is a game-time decision for Friday, and I doubt, either way, he makes the trip to Cedar Park on Saturday.
Two weeks ago, the Aeros were the best (statistically) team in the AHL. They fell back a bit after two bad, bad home losses to Toronto and Abbotsford. Maybe they should outlaw the singing of "Oh, Canada" before the games, but health certainly would help at this time.
|Proposed new logo for Minnesota Wild
If there is any good news out there, it's the schedule. There are six games left this month and five of them are against two defensively-challenged teams. In the one "tough" game against Abbotsford, the Aeros have home ice and have a better 3-in-3 schedule to deal with (less travel).
Torchetti sounded like he was ready to go off on a few guys after the game last week. And that was BEFORE he lost Wellman and Fredheim. He basically said selfish play and the lack of team defense was starting to be an issue. I think the goaltending has lacked as well, but they are certainly not the reason for all the turnovers and odd-mans coming AT them.
Players are human, though. They see the revolving hospital doors just outside the Xcel Energy Center and opportunities present themselves. Now, with four key players on recall to the NHL and several other players in still in Houston who did not get the call, it will be more interesting to see how the team responds.
First, your coach says you're not playing good defense.
Then two other players get called up ahead of you...
How do you respond to that ego check?
I guess we'll see Friday night at Toyota Center.
WARNING! Meaningless predictions to follow
Friday - @Aeros 1, Stars 4
Saturday - Aeros 5, @Stars 3
Sunday - Heat 3, @Aeros 2 (OT)
Three of a possible six points

"The Mexico City office needs rehabilitation and integration with Evercore global"
Pros – Exposure to leading economic thinkers in Mexico. Very intelligent coworkers. Learned about public finance in Mexico.
Cons – No chance to interact with other offices/projects worldwide. The Mexican company Protego was acquired by Evercore but they basically just changed the logo. Most people still refer to the company as Protego.
One HR person for the entire office. This means no training/professional development. The HR rep is strictly for hiring/benefits.
No documentation/knowledge management/project management processes. This means every project starts from scratch. Lots of brain drain because people leave. Habitually late on deadlines (part of Mexico in general). We were actually calling former employees for help. People's idea of knowledge management is printing a prior project and putting it on a bookshelf.
Unreal amount of time in the office. People don't care what you get done, they just want to see butts in seats. Work-from-home/flex time is unheard of. If you have to finish something for a Monday deadline they ask you to come in on Saturday instead of doing it on your laptop from anywhere.
Barebones IT resources (i.e. we make diagrams all the time but don't have MS Visio, we don't have MS project). This is not an NGO and we could afford to have this software.
No upward mobility. Analysts are undergrads, some have master's. Then they all leave for a PhD or go work for the government. You can't stay and work your way up to a management position - there are no "middle positions."
Advice to Senior Management – You acquired Protego but haven't done anything to make it better. Sometimes it feels like we are just spinning our wheels in Mexico. Swap some managers so that there is more cross-collaboration and help us feel included in the larger organization. Not exaggerating when I say that all that happened was that they changed the logo. I have no idea what people do in other Evercore offices worldwide.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

"It could be worse...it could be a lot better"
Pros – Compensation is decent if you know what to ask for from the beginning - salary with overtime, bonus minimum, etc.
Benefits are competitive+
Cons – - EXTREMELY poor HR department though recent changes relating to HR management shows some promise. Change is slow.
- Fear of retribution prevents many employees from reporting unfair treatment or other issues.
- Very poor communication from the top to the bottom.
- Senior management at Evercore expects personal work to be completed by their assistants. This ranges from very small tasks to large projects dealing with family and outside interests. This work is sometimes personally compensated by the individual manager around the holidays but often times it isn't. Again, fear of retribution prevents many employees from tackling this problem despite being overtaxed and ethically conflicted.

"Not a place for non partners"
Pros – Prestiige of working at a mid town boutique investment bank. Compensation better than average.
Cons – If you are not a partner, you are treated like fodder. This is especially true for the support staff. At least the analyst have a chance at becoming a revenue producer, the support staff are treated like a changeable expense and often are. Beware unless you are a senior level banker.
Advice to Senior Management – It's a hard concept to acknowledge but there is work life balance for the support staff.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Does it work PROPERLY on wii?
Re: Infected on Wiifissuresofrequent Mar 26, 2012 4:31 AM (in response to infinitlag)
Infected doesn't alllow you to change the guns of the infected to knifes. It gives the FMG-9 red dot. Gun game works perfect. One in the chamber you have to configure the options but after it works fine. Juggernaut sometimes will spawn the non-jugg with the mask like he is a jugg but doesn't have the 500 health. Team jugg will spawn 2 juggernauts on one team sometimes. Dropzones point sytem doesnt work properly.
Most of it is fine just a few minor glitches.

Hackers don't make anything. What they do is take someone elses hard work and destroy it. None of the extra game modes work as they do on the other consoles, they just kinda work on the wii. Hence the reason that Activision/Treyarch didn't include them in the game originally or as a patch. Hackers are the single worst thing to happen to the wii and the gaming community as a whole.
Re: Infected on WiiWrittenDeath Apr 16, 2012 1:31 PM (in response to godmsack)
they made infected playable on the wii
Re: Infected on Wiidr0pk1ckz Apr 16, 2012 5:01 AM (in response to ThatRandom)
they should just put the game modes into a patch and give them to us... if hacker can unlock the game modes on the wii and they're working (almost) properly, treyarch/activision/whoever should be able to fix them... make the wii gamers happy^^

I have a private match running almost every day that make these game modes open for us wii players that didn't have it before so we all get a chance to have fun playing it.
Re: Infected on Wiisilentshotnl Apr 16, 2012 5:24 AM (in response to VampWolfy)
I dont know anything about this, i dont even know how to make a usb thingy in my wii xD
But isnt there a way to get the fmg of the infected ppl? like that they have no ammo?
Re: Infected on WiiVampWolfy Apr 16, 2012 6:25 AM (in response to silentshotnl)
Hacking wii for codes is simple, hence why we have so many kids running hacks.
There may need to be a seperated code to disable ammo for a certain team or/and give different gun types, but I know nothing about the codings on the wii.
On my thread I just put up a rule that infected people are not aloud to shoot with the FMG's. (Scar L can because first Infected can shoot another person to help infection spread on PS/360) And I'm pretty happy people are following these rules, making the matches funner c:
Re: Infected on Wiigodmsack Apr 16, 2012 7:12 AM (in response to VampWolfy)
This is a bit misleading. These children aren't actually hacking anything. What they are doing is installing a program onto their wii that lets them access hacks that someone else developed. While they do fit into the same category as hackers (since they are also scumbag, low lifes) they are better labeled as cheats.
Re: Infected on WiiROFLkopter Apr 16, 2012 10:48 AM (in response to ThatRandom)
"Haxors r all kidz thinkin dey iz gud on mw3 wen tehy sux bad..."
Change the God damn record!
I have the Homebrew channel on my Wii with Gecko and with that, me and some allies can play Infected, Gun Game, Juggernaut, etc. We've just been playing Infected for about a hour and each game was brilliant. It's a great way to pass time with your allies. I've used the Predator Missile in a public lobby, but the thing sucked because, as most of us know, the Wii has crap RAM and can't render all the map. Haxors in public lobbies using redbox, infinate UAV and other ones are annoying yeah. But it's not bad in private when it enables extra gamemodes that we're not likely to officially get.
Rant over, now it's time for the hate...
Re: Infected on Wiibluwolf Apr 16, 2012 1:25 PM (in response to ThatRandom)
We all love to play infected because were not used to it but when we finally get it its gonna be so damn boring

Is there coming a system update so infected and other game modes pluged in?
Re: Infected on WiiVelvetUnicor Feb 4, 2013 7:02 PM (in response to DavyGamingHD)
Sorry to say this but there won't be. The last patch was in february of last year. Nintendo has moved on to focus on black ops 2 and the wii u.

Battle hots up in the final of the Great British Bake Off
7:13am Tuesday 16th October 2012 in Food News
IT is the cookery programme that has captured the imagination of the nation – and it all comes to fruition tonight.
Three amateur bakers will fight it out in the final of BBC programme The Great British Bake Off.
Over the last ten weeks, 12 bakers have been whittled down to three – Irish-born company director Brendan Lynch, James Morton, 21, the youngest, who is studying medicine in Scotland, and 23-year-old law student John Whaite.
Morton could be considered the favourite, being named top baker on three occasions, but all three will have to impress the judges, Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood.
And last night top Hampshire chefs gave the show their seal of approval, saying it is inspiring a new generation into the kitchen.
James Golding, head chef at The Pig in The Forest, in Brockenhurst, said so he hoped that the programme would inspire young people, as his grandmother had inspired him, to take up the career.
He said: "A lot of the stuff we have seen on The Great British Bake Off is stuff that could be reminiscent of an age when a lot of people did home baking."
Mr Golding, who trained at The Savoy in London, said he hoped it would also give people a fresh appreciation of good quality food.
"It lets people see how much effort does go into making these cakes or tarts so when people come out to eat they have a bit more understanding,"
he said.
He added he thought the programme had inspired a revived interest in British food.
Luke Holder, head chef at the Lime Wood Hotel, in Lyndhurst, agreed.
"It has wider implications than just a television programme," said the chef, who has previously worked at a Michelin-starred London restaurant.
"It's bringing forward British traditions – we're great bakers."
The programme airs tonight at 8pm on BBC2.
Who's your favourite to be top baker?

Republican U.S. Senate candidate fielded questions from local businesspeople frustrated by government regulations and warned against looming defense cuts Wednesday morning at the Mount Vernon-Lee Chamber of Commerce.
Allen, a former senator and governor of Virginia, faces Democrat in the general election. Kaine, also a former governor, made a local appearance Wednesday, campaigning at Fort Hunt businesses.
Allen spoke at the chamber roundtable about his plan to create jobs and called for lower taxes, more business-friendly tax laws, exploitation of America's energy resources — including drilling off the coast of Virginia — and the need to attract more minorities to higher education opportunities.
He spent much of his time warning about the consequences of the federal debt ceiling standoff that will automatically trigger spending cuts and the expiration of tax cuts. This includes a $500 billion cut in defense spending, he said. Such cuts will be devastating to military readiness and hundreds of thousands of jobs in Virginia, particularly in Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads, Allen said.
"We just can't allow that to happen," he said. "Hopefully, it will be stopped. If not, it's got to be stopped as soon as possible, and I want to provide that leadership. … You have to set priorities, and my view is the federal government's primary responsibility is national defense."
Pilots are already flying outdated planes, and the country needs to maintain its fleet of submarines, aircraft carriers and unmanned aerial vehicles, he said.
Allen also called for a "flatter" tax code and lowering the business tax from 35 percent to 20 percent while eliminating exemptions and loopholes. He also advocated reforming regulations he claimed are hurting small businesses.
Vanessa Wheeler, owner of in Mount Vernon, told Allen she didn't like being "controlled" by the government and called Kaine the "twin" of President Barack Obama in terms of philosophy.
Wheeler expressed dismay about certain entitlement programs and told Allen she has five full-time employees who make more than $12 an hour and still receive food stamps and other government assistance.
"How are we going to stop this?" she asked. "How are we going to get back to the point where all of us are not going to have to pay for this going forward? … It's not sustainable. And everybody's got to realize that, that the people who are paying the taxes are becoming less and less. We are numbering downward whereas the takers are going upward."
"I'd love for you to be an ambassador for us," Allen told Wheeler, extolling personal responsibility and saying as governor he worked to drastically decrease welfare rolls.
Roundtable participant Phyllis Sintay, a Realtor with McEnearney Associates, told Allen when she first became a Realtor, contracts were one page long. Today, they're much longer, and new regulations that put limits on lending have placed additional burdens on business.
"We could certainly use less government involvement," Sintay said.
Victoria Hatfield, a commercial banker with Burke & Herbert Bank, said federal regulations have limited loan opportunities for small businesses.
"I can't say yes as much as I'd like to, with stricter regulations and all," she said. "So sometimes, that's discouraging."
Farzana Kennedy, owner of Alexandria Compounding Pharmacy in Old Town, said businesses such as hers are struggling due to a tangle of Drug Enforcement Agency regulations that govern the dispensing of certain medications. "That's a huge issue right now," she said. "It makes no sense."
The roundtable was co-sponsored by the Hispanic Business Advisory Council Legislative Affairs Committee.

By Dr. Charles Stanley
James 1:23-25
As a teenager and a new believer, I would pull out my mother's worn Bible when I needed God's opinion on a matter. In the back were words written in bold type with verses beneath (I didn't know then that this was called a concordance). I'd look up a subject, write down the Scripture references listed, and then read them to get my answers. This simple activity was how I began to build truth into my life.
Believers who have decided to make God's truth the foundation of their life need a place to start building. First, identify a point of need—some area that requires attention, like financial stewardship. Then search the Bible's concordance for verses related to that topic. The passages on the subject will form a blueprint of what a believer's life should look like.
The Holy Spirit provides the construction material. Using His guidance, strength, and wisdom, install new truths in your life by practicing what you read. Let's again look at examples from the topic of stewardship: Matthew 6:24 teaches that we can't serve both God and money, so attitudes must change. And since a borrower is the lender's servant, spending on credit should be carefully evaluated (Proverbs 22:7). That's how new ways of thinking will replace faulty ideas.
It is a good idea to note—literally—the results of our obedience to God's instructions. Journaling about His provision and the growth of our faith will inspire us to continue adding to our foundation of truth. That means choosing new areas to remodel according to God's blueprint.

Dr. Stanley explains how we can tell if we're an honest person, the benefits of building truth in our lives, what happens when we fail to do so, and how we can integrate truth into our lives more. (Watch Building Truth Into Your Life.)
