Essential Info
The AirTamer
A302 is one of the world's most effective travel air purifiers and is certified to filter 875% more air pollutants than the closest competitor.
Its state-of-the-art electrostatic purification creates a 3 foot sphere of cleaner, healthier air around your head. It cleans the air of atomic sized pollutants (e.g. viruses) that traditional air purifiers (e.g. HEPA air purifiers) leave behind.
new power boost technology has 2x more cleaning power than the AirTamer A300. It emits a constant stream of healthy negative ions that force airborne pollutants (e.g. viruses, bacteria, pollen, dust, etc.) away from your personal space, giving you a zone of cleaner, healthier air to breathe, everywhere you go!
A proprietary conductive lanyard (now, adjustable in length) dramatically improves performance and increases run time. The extremely energy efficient technology provides 7 days of continuous use (over 3 times longer than competitive units) with 2 included lithium coin cell batteries.
design is ultra compact and incredibly versatile. You can wear it around your neck (strap included) since it is smaller than most MP3 players. You can also clip it to your shirt or blouse (includes integral clip) or stand it freely on a nightstand once you reach your destination so the air around your pillow is cleaned. The "on" indicator light gently blinks to indicate it is cleaning the air.
includes a metal travel case to protect the air purifier when not in use. Maintenance is easy since there are no filters to replace.

Hello from Australia. After being told by my doctor that I have a very week immune system and after my 8th lot of antibiotics for the year,I am an asthmatic I work in a call centre. I got whooping cough after which I had just had enough! I jumped on line and discovered the air tamer. I have used it every day for a month at work and have not touch wood had a bout of cold or flu since! I will use it on the plane when I travel to Sydney or overseas as well as at work. It also means i have had not had a day off for a month. My boss is impressed.If only I had found the air tamer years ago. I will reccomend to anyone and everyone to buy this prouduct as its amazing. Thank you Smart home! You saved my job and my life! 5 stars is just not enough!
I work in a call centre in Australia and have had to many bouts of flu for this year and previous years. My Doctor told me that its due to a bad immune system as I am a asthmatic. A little over month ago I got whooping cough and was really sick. It was the final straw! I saw the Air tamer travel air purifer online and ordered it straight away. It came within a week and I have used it every day at work for just over a month. I have (touch wood) not had a cold or flu since, and my only wish is that I had found it sooner.If Airtamer was a man I would marry him! I simply put it on when I get to work and take it off when I leave. I will use it when i travel on a plane (which is when I seem to get a cold or flu if not at work) I would reccommend to anyone and everyone who has a bad immune system to invest in the air tamer as it is well worth the cost. As I work for the tax office I can also claim it as a workplace deduction!

Hello from Australia. After having the worst two winters on the Gold coast with lots of flu and virises. My doctor told me I have a week immune system due to my asthma symptoms plus I work in a call centre which we share all kind of nasty germs together on a daily basis. Last week I purchased the AirTamer A302 High Performance Travel Air Purifier. It arrived today in the mail and I have had it on for a few hours. It has helped me already and I can only wonder why it has taken me so long to find this product. I will reccomend this to my friends and family. 5 stars is just not enough to rate this product. I read a review about a lady that complained about the sent of the air purifer gave her migraines they have not had that affect on me.

RALEIGH — Legendary golfers such as former Masters winner Bob Goalby and former U.S. Open winner Gene Littler joined the field at the Rex Hospital Open's Grand Champions Pro-Am on Tuesday at The Hasentree Club.
"We still love to play golf," said Goalby, who won the Masters in 1968 and is 80 years old. "I recently had my hip replaced, and I'm still out here swinging."
The Rex Hospital Open, a professional golf tournament that features players from the Nationwide Tour, starts on Thursday at TPC Wakefield Plantation. The charity event helps raise funds for Rex Heathcare and has generated more than $5 million in net proceeds for community programs.
The Champions Pro-Am is part of the week's activities, drawing fans who want to see some of golf's former greats. On Tuesday, the format was five-player, best-ball scramble over nine holes.
Goalby's group, plugging through the rain, finished first with a combined score of 55, and Litter and Jim Feree tied for second after their groups shot 57s.
Other former legendary PGA Tour golfers participating were Masters champion Billy Casper, PGA champions Dow Finsterwald, Doug Ford and Don January and U.S. Open champion Jack Fleck. Also in the field was Lee Elder.
"These four or five events we play in each year gives us old guys a chance to get together and see each other, travel and play golf," Littler said. "I started playing with these guys in the mid-1950s, and we've kept playing together ever since. There's a great camaraderie with these guys."
Added Elder: "I'm still playing golf and enjoying golf. My score is in the mid-70s. Even at the age of 74, I'm still shooting in the mid-70s."

Positive Experience
Average Interview
I applied online and the process took 2 days - interviewed at Zerin Business Consulting in December 2013.
Interview Details – It's a very fast process. I applied online and received an interview offer within a handful of days. I interviewed directly with the hiring manager then came into the office for in person job shadow. The people I interviewed with were really terrific. Some of the higher ups have strong personalities and are very blunt about the requirements and position which takes a little getting used to.

I applied online and the process took 2 days - interviewed at Zerin Business Consulting in August 2013.
Interview Details – Process usually begins with a follow up call from the manager to the location you applied at. Typically you'll need to go to the office location a few times for interviews. They will ask what you can contribute to the office, team, clients and customers. Asked about previous work experience both negative and positive. Pretty quick and straight forward.
Interview Question – How did you handle past negative work experience? Answer Question
Reason for Declining – Returned to finish my masters instead

Easy Interview
I applied online and the process took 2 days - interviewed at Zerin Business Consulting in June 2013.
Interview Details – I applied via linkedin with a resume drop. The next morning they called and wanted me to come in for a interview. First day was a quick 1:1 interview with the assistant manager, then the 2nd day was a followup with two Team leaders who took me out to lunch. I was originally suppose to shadow them on their days work that day but the rain gave us other plans and the interview was cut short.
Interview Question – Do you think you could handle managing a team of employees within a year? If so, why do you think we should pick you for the job? View Answers (2)
Reason for Declining – The job description didn't match up to what I would really be doing. It seemed like a really fishy triangle scheme that I didn't want to get involved in, and the starting pay was something aroudn $300 a week which is hardly enough to pay rent in the Northern Virginia area.

I applied through a recruiter and the process took 3 days - interviewed at Zerin Business Consulting in May 2013.
Interview Details – Recruited from LinkedIn Profile by NOVA HR team. Had a 30 min phone chat with recruiter-- basic questions and some behavioral stuff. That led to phone interview, and in person interview locally; then to panel interview in office. Very professional and positive experience, although it helped they were recruiting me more than me applying to an opening. The people that I interviewed with were all nice, pretty laid-back, and seemed to really enjoy working there. The offices were well-lit and colorful.

Interviewed at Zerin Business Consulting
Interview Details – I applied this position and got a call from them the next day to set up an interview time. Then I came there for the first interview. That was a quite basic interview-- just like a chat. The night of that day, I was informed a second interview. At this time I went on line to search for some information about the position and company, and it turned out to be a door-to-door sale position, which was not what I was looking for. So the next day, I called and cancelled it.

Interview Details – My first interview was super quick and everyone was very nice and outgoing but they didn't give me very much description about the job.

French Financial Service Organization Maintains 100% Uptime and Saves 2 Million Euros with Red Hat's JBoss Enterprise Middleware
November 2, 2010
Customer: LaSer Nederland B.V. (LSN)
JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform, JBoss Operations Network, JBoss Business Rules Management System (BRMS), HP Dialogue Live and VMWare.
Windows 2008 Server, Microsoft SQL Server, Dell PowerEdge 2950 with two quad-core 2.8 GHz CPUs per server, 32 GB RAM per server; EMC SAN storage via iSCSI.
LaSer Nederland B.V. (LSN), founded in 1996, is an innovative service organization that specializes in financial services, retail marketing, protection, and related programs for consumers, retailers, and money brokers, which act as intermediaries. LSN's portfolio includes tailor-made programs for acquisition financing, credit products, (co-branded) Visa credit cards, loyalty cards, and online loyalty program management. LaSer Nederland is part of the French LaSer Group, which is equally owned by Galleries Lafayette and BNP Paribas. At its headquarters in Den Bosch in The Netherlands, LSN employs approximately 375 employees who serve more than 400,000 customers. LaSer also has offices in France, Denmark, United Kingdom, Poland and Spain.
"Transparency is a key part of LSN's philosophy. It's important for us to offer customers fair products and inform them thoroughly about terms and conditions such as when to pay off a loan. We want to communicate information to our customers as clearly as possible," said Marc van der Tier, manager of IT Delivery at LaSer Nederland. "LSN, therefore, has about 30 websites that provide product information and service customer needs."BUSINESS CHALLENGE
LSN wanted to improve the customer experience by expanding self service options, such as making payments, changing a phone number, or transferring money. In addition, the company wanted to offer customers the unique option of opening or closing an account and obtaining a real time overview of credit card transactions.
The French LaSer Group took the decision to introduce a new core system, Base 2000, from Fidelity Information Services (NYSE: FIS) in the Netherlands and across operations worldwide. The new system was intended to easily consolidate financial figures and provide a comprehensive overview of the entire group's activities. With the introduction of the core system came the need for a more feature-rich front end. Most of the LSN product websites were not integrated with all databases, architectures, and maintenance plans. A number of the websites were connected to the old LSN back office systems. In addition, some of LSN's financial products (Visa credit cards, retail credit, and personal loans) were administered and processed in large back-end applications (IBM/CICS), often rigid in architecture and mostly written in COBOL. Initially, it proved difficult to develop new sites and keep the processes and
data consistent and interconnected.
ISAAC, a JBoss Solution Partner, was commissioned to create a platform on which LSN could build replicable and interconnected sites, to improve the integration between the middleware platform and the new LSN back office systems. In addition, it was important that the front and back-end applications offered enhanced control and flexibility so that LSN could easily scale and adjust as needed.
An important factor in the solution selection is VISA international's required adherence to an array of financial legislation and internal security processes. For example, when customers create and enter their passwords online, they are required to enter codes received by SMS on their mobile phones. Both the email address and the mobile phone number are verified when someone tries to create a password.
"A modular deployment was crucial to any technology implementation. The system has to meet core standards of stability and security, in particular, the customer's security, We are very concerned about identity theft," said Van der Tier. "We do everything to avoid headlines such as 'personal credit card information is leaked to the public."
JBoss Solution Partner ISAAC developed a JBoss Enterprise Middleware prototype that withstood stress testing and am external evaluation. During this process comparable solutions demonstrated bottlenecks. Therefore, JBoss Enterprise Middleware was identified as the ideal platform fit.
ISAAC developed an Enterprise JavaBeans 2.1/Java MessageService (JMS) based platform called Pangaea, which runs on JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 4.3. The platform itself uses Microsoft SQL 2005, which exposes an XML based interface/API, which can be accessed through JMS.
Furthermore, ISAAC used JBoss Enterprise Application Platform and JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform to connect legacy back-end applications to a large number of customer service websites, POS loan application portals, and reporting solutions, all developed by ISAAC. JBoss Enterprise Middleware forms a bridge between the back-end systems and third-party services, such as an advanced printing solution based on HP Dialogue Live.
In total, tens of thousands of loan applications are processed every month by the system and hundreds of thousands of customers access the customer service portals. Of these, 125,000 are active users.
In the new solution, back office integration varies and involves XML over HTTPS, MQ, file transfers and SOAP. Data is either stored in the back office or in a central Microsoft SQL 2005 database. Lately, dotCMS has been added as a possible front end to the Pangaea platform, allowing dotCMS websites to include back-office content, which is retrieved via the Pangaea platform. JBoss Enterprise Middleware communicates using Websphere MQ with the CICS back-end mainframes and uses the messaging component in JBoss EAP 4.3 to communicate with front-end servers. The front-end environment uses JBoss Enterprise Application Platform in combination with Apache, mod_jk, and the enterprise-level CMS system dotCMS to provide a rich front-end architecture.
JBoss Enterprise Middleware is one of four key IT infrastructure components. The 24×7, 365 days a year model for availability is crucial because if Pangaea is down, the entire system stops functioning.
Based on Red Hat's JBoss Enterprise Middleware, ISAAC has developed a solution for LaSer Nederland that has proven to be highly scalable. Without having to change their architecture, LaSer has gone from servicing several thousand online customers in 2008 to more than 100,000 customers in 2010.
Although changes are made to the system on a weekly basis, reliability and stability have remained very high, with no middleware or front-end-related outages over the past six months.
Integrating the front-end solutions like dotCMS and back-end systems using Websphere MQ has functioned almost without incident due to the standards of compliance JBoss Enterprise Middleware maintains in its architecture and the flexibility the EAP platform offers in configuring its interfaces to third-party systems.
"Since the introduction of the self-service websites, we have dramatically reduced workloads and enhanced the customer's ability to consult/access his/her financial accounts. This is a savings of euro2,250,000," said Van der Tier. "We can further automate certain processes and make them simpler and quicker, increasing efficiency. We are also in a position to offer and add new modular functions for our customers and retailers."
"Over the past year, we've established and maintained a 100 percent uptime level. The IT dashboard built by ISAAC and managed by Red Hat allows us to monitor whether all system components are functioning properly," said Van der Tier. "A change in color indicates real-time issues, so we can address it immediately."
"We maintain a short turnaround time for incidents. If we can't address the issue ourselves, we have secondhand support from ISAAC and a third backup line to Red Hat. LSN is very satisfied with the involvement of ISAAC as a Red Hat partner," said Van der Tier. "With JBoss we've always got a specialist on hand. We rely on this safety net, and it functions exceptionally well. The Red Hat subscription model is an added value. In fact, I don't think we could do it without JBoss."
"JBoss, as a toolkit, fulfills a crucial role for our business," said Van der Tier. "Some applications that ISAAC has built are unique. It offers us the necessary functionalities and contributes to the transparency that we want to convey in the market, underlining our business philosophy. In addition, JBoss has improved speed and performance, which are very important. That said, we're well aware of the flip side of automation. When everything becomes fully automated, questions arise about whether the customer relations are genuine. Therefore, next to the extensive automated services, we maintain personal contact with our customers that will shift from the transactional to the relational."

CAIRO — President Obama faces a more volatile Middle East than the one he brought a sense of promise to nearly four years ago when he delivered his seminal "new beginnings" speech here to an intrigued, if suspicious, Muslim world.
Unpopular Western-friendly autocrats no longer run Egypt and Tunisia, and in Libya, the mercurial Moammar Kadafi is dead and gone. But the White House has to contend with an aggressive political Islam that rose from "Arab Spring" movements even as it grapples with ongoing bloodshed in Syria, terrorist attacks on Americans and the persistent tinderbox that is Iran.

Buffalo development has benefited tremendously from a federal tax program that is in danger of going away. Democratic Congressman Brian Higgins delivered that message surrounded by developers and other politicians. The Renewal Community program that creates districts within which companies can qualify for tax breaks. Western New York has three such districts - Buffalo-Lackawanna, Niagara Falls and Jamestown - and the program has helped spur more than $105 million in investments over the past decade. Clearly, it is an important tax program for our impoverished region.

Christian Academy seniors Aaron Hayes and DeVonta King had big nights in the Warriors' 61-49 victory over Madison Shawe on Thursday.
Hayes scored 22 points and went over the 1,000-point mark in the first two minutes of the game. Hayes, who also had 10 rebounds, now has 1,018 points in his career.
King stole the show on Thursday, though. He finished with 27 points on 12-of-12 shooting with 12 rebounds in the victory.
The Warriors led from start to finish, including a 29-19 lead at the break. They finished off the Hilltoppers, who were led by Luke Higgins' 17 points, with a 25-point fourth quarter.
The win ended a four-game losing streak for CAI (6-9), which will host Southwestern on Saturday afternoon.
• Dragons win fourth straight: After a 3-10 start, Silver Creek has won four straight games after Thursday's 54-48 home win over Scottsburg (3-14, 2-7 Mid-Southern Conference).
The Dragons also have won back-to-back MSC games for the first time this season.
"It was an ugly game for three quarters," Silver Creek coach Brandon Hoffman admitted. "We didn't play our best game and Scottsburg really played well. We grinded it out in the end and pulled out an ugly one. Earlier in the year, we lost a lot of games like that. I thought it showed a lot of maturity to win when we didn't play well."
Lucas Barnett (13 points) and Zach Davidson (11) led Silver Creek in scoring. Sophomore Jake Steele finished with nine points, six boards and five blocked shots for the Dragons.
NEXT: Silver Creek (7-10, 2-5 MSC) hosts Austin (6-10, 2-6 MSC), Tuesday.

The Mustangs, who led 25-23 at the half, got a 14-point, five-rebound, two-assist performance from Tim Cochran. Logan Miles added nine points on three 3-pointers for New Wash.
After the two-point halftime lead, the Mustangs pulled away with an 11-4 third-quarter run.
Beth Haven was led by Brandon Cranford's game-high 15 points.
NEXT: New Washington (9-9) at Charlestown (9-7), Tuesday.
• Cubs edge Rock Creek: Madison's Landon Perry followed up a Rock Creek miss with the go-ahead basket with 35 seconds left as the Cubs rallied past Rock Creek 45-43 on Thursday.
Madison led 18-8 after one quarter, but the Lions pulled within 30-28 at the break.
Will Brown and Gedeon Nzombi led the Lions with 12 points apiece. Nick Macon had a game-high 16 points for Madison.
NEXT: Rock Creek (7-12) at Providence (14-3), Tuesday.
• Borden routs Medora: Ten different Braves scored as Borden whipped visiting Medora 69-31 on Thursday.
Billy Kirchgessner led the way with 14 points and Garrett Vick finished with 13 for the Braves, who led 18-7 after one quarter and 39-19 at the half.
Jalen McCoy added eight, Michael Lynch seven and Brian McGee six as Borden won its fifth straight.
NEXT: Borden (14-2) hosts Springs Valley (6-10), Saturday.

The Madison South District community policing team was out Wednesday, knocking on doors and speaking with students on how to keep burglars out.
Every year, as new students move into areas like the Greenbush neighborhood and Breese Terrace, a community policing team is their welcome wagon.
The brief meet and greet aims at tackling a yearly trend. That area sees a lot of burglaries. Police say the burglars usually know they can land more than one valuable item inside a house where more than one person lives.
To keep them away police handed out crime prevention pamphlets, advising students to lock their doors and items.

Rear Springs Binding or Rear Diff Going?
Okay, this problem is getting progressively worse and has me stumped.
2004 1500 Z71 4WD, 5.3L 323k miles.
The sound is a clunk, which honestly most resembles a sound like a U-joint wearing out from the rear of the truck, but only happens when first starting out from a stop and sometimes the 1st-2nd gear shift. After that, no clunk. Even if I drive down the road and try to tap the gas while moving, no clunk. I try moving the driveshaft and pinion and nothing. Now, you can also feel it a little when driving. It feels like a slight hesitation from the rear end. There is no delay, but it feels like what a sloppy rear end feels like. Sometimes when I roll to a stop, about half a second letter, it actually feels like something is releasing or delayed stop in the rear of the truck. Obviously the truck doesn't move, but it feels like something is delayed when the truck stops. I know it's a crappy explanation, but it's the best I can do.
Now, I wouldn't put it past the rear end being worn out (323k miles) but here is what baffles me. Now I will preface this is that gears are a weak spot for my trouble shooting. Any other part of the car, I can do it. Gears...I suck at. These sounds and feels only happen when the truck is unloaded or very lightly loaded in the bed. If I put a yard of dirt or I'm pulling a trailer, absolutely no sounds, delays, clanks, anything. In fact, just got back from hauling a car 400 miles yesterday and the rear was smooth as pudding. The rear end is also not whining at all in reverse (which I always used as a tell tale sign of a worn rear end).
Some one once told me that these Chevy's can start to bind in the rear springs (at the bushing perhaps), so I'm wondering if that's my problem, or if it still is the rear end.
Any suggestions?

Have ya greased the slip joint lately?
The slip joint on the rear driveshaft has been known to give this type of issue if it isnt greased real good, theres actually a few fix's for noisy/clunky slip joints.
many years ago 2002 my 2000 silverado made this noise. under warrantee. about 30,ooomi. I brought to the dealership and explained this noise / vib as you did here.
no hesitation he says its the transfercase fluid needs replacing and this will be covered by the GM warrantee.
I was thinking this is some dealer BS. driving from the dealership I was surprised that this issue was gone.
since that time I have read many with this issue. the greasing of the tail shaft / silicone spray on the tail shaft at the transfercase will stop this for a short time.
so now I replace the transfercase fluid at about the 30-40,ooomi point to stop this . also it appears for my useage this is when this fluid need be changed as the fluid begins to turn a grayish blue color not blue like the in the bottle of trac II fluid.
dealership stated its the fluid loosing its lubricity
the colder the air temp the more it does it.

I'll give both a shoot. I'm sure the transfercase fluid needs it. I haven't tried lubing the slip joint, so again I'll try that as well.
give the fluid change a hundred miles of use . with your higher mileage it may take a bit longer to work into the yoke shaft to make it slide smoothly with out hanging up.
I noticed with a full tank of fuel and a load in the bed it would not do it. most likely the drive shaft angle.

I had a similar problem with the clunking you described and my issue was worn out leaf spring bushings.
Most likely the slip yoke, there is a TSB for a nickel plated one which i bought ($250 4 yrs ago) and takes care of it permanently.01' 1500 LT Z71 ECSB 5.3L

Kobe Bryant had a foam-type material inside his nose while talking to reporters Thursday, claiming dryness from a cold was the cause of a nasal issue, not an errant elbow at practice. But a bloodied Lakers image was still an accurate metaphor.
Especially with the Clippers nine games ahead of them in the standings.
Too early to say a changing of the guard has taken place? That the franchise with 16 NBA championships and a penchant for flair wrapped into drama enveloped by victories had fallen below a franchise with no championships and a wicked habit of winning 37% of its games?

A bet to finance a game of craps turns into an unexpected romance when a gambler falls for a missionary girl he takes to Havana.
New Washington Middle/High School's Drama Club will host a production of "Guys and Dolls" on Friday and Saturday. The show, set in 1940's New York, is the first Broadway-style production the troupe has ever performed.
Director Patty Simmonds said though the students needed more intense rehearsals than they normally do for their junior productions, they've done a good job with the show.
"They needed a lot of coaching on theater basics and choreography, but they've really come a long way," Simmonds said. "I'm proud of the work they've done."
Bailey Meenach, a senior, president of the club and an actor in the show, said since the students involved in the show are only in a club instead of a theater class, they don't get as much time to practice for the curtain call.
"It makes our rehearsals a lot longer than they would be at Jeffersonville High School or Silver Creek," Meenach said. "We really have to ramp it up at practice because we really don't get to work on it during the day."
But students aren't the only ones putting on the show, several adults have taken scripts to help out with some of the roles.
"We got a lot of community support and a lot of adults have jumped in to help us," Simmonds said.
Carla Hobson, the school's vice principal, plays General Cartwright and Sandra Schurr, a special education teacher at the school, is also participating.
Attendees can also donate to Aiden's LEGO Legacy, a program that donates LEGO toys to children with cancer, at the doors.
The show will be held at 7 tonight and Saturday. Tickets are $6 for adults and $4 for children 12 and younger.
Friday and Saturday, Dec. 13 and 14 at 7 p.m.
Adults: $6
Children 12 and younger: $4
LEGO toys will also be collected for Aiden's LEGO Legacy, which gives the toys to children with cancer. Drop them off at both productions of the show or at Jeffersonville High School until Dec. 20.

- The Scholarship Foundation
- General Scholastic Achievement Program
- Memorial/Special Endowment Program
- Board Members
Scholarship CriteriaFull-time students who have completed 24 units of graded units at Solano Community College and have earned a cumulative GPA of 3.30 or higher are eligible to apply for scholarships. Most of the scholarships require the student to be either continuing as a full-time student at Solano or transferring to a four-year college in the fall. There are a few exceptions to the full-time enrollment requirement. The following scholarships permit applications from part-time students:
- Students enrolled in vocational majors
- Dr. Marge Blaha Memorial Scholarship
- Robert T. Ford Science Scholarship
- Diane Muir Memorial Scholarship
Scholarship ApplicationStudents who meet the scholarship criteria are eligible to apply for scholarships. This single application is used for determining eligibility for both General and Special/Memorial Scholarships.
As of July 31, 2013, scholarship applications are no longer being accepted for 2013-14 until further notice.
Information about the Scholarship FoundationThe Solano College Scholarship Foundation is a non-profit corporation that awards scholarships to Solano College students on the basis of academic achievement and demonstrated potential for excellence. The Foundation is administrated by a Board of Directors providing representation from the communities of Solano County.
The goal of the Foundation is the promotion of scholastic excellence by providing a program that will identify, recognize and reward outstanding scholars attending Solano College. Beginning with the three scholarships that were presented in 1974, the program has grown significantly. Scholarships are presented at an annual fall Awards Ceremony held at the end of September or early October. In 2012, awards totaling over $32,000 were presented to sixty four students.
The Scholarship Foundation administers the following two programs:
- The General Scholastic Achievement Program
The primary criterion for General Scholarship awards is scholastic excellence. General Scholarships are reserved for full-time students who have completed 24 units of graded units at Solano Community College and have earned a cumulative GPA of 3.30 or higher.
- The Memorial and Special Endowment Programs
With the first memorial program starting in 1975, there are currently 68 programs established to honor and commemorate specific individuals or purposes. Most special programs have designated majors and/or other specific qualifying requirements that determine eligibility for consideration.
Memorial/Special Scholarships are awarded with a minimum endowment fund balance of $3000. Because the scholarships are funded by the interest earned on endowments, the amount of the annual scholarship varies with the market.

Number of animals being transported: 2
Breeds, weight, age: Bluetick Coonhound, 55 lbs, 1 year old; Black & Tan Coonhound, 20 lbs?, 3 months old
Health Condition: Good
Heart worm Status: Bluetick - unknown; B&T - too young
Vaccinations: None
Health Certificate: Intrastate - not needed
Spay/Neutered: No
Special needs: None
Name of Sending Rescue/Parties: Bluetick - Mt Pleasant Animal Shelter; B&T - Paris Animal Shelter
Name of Receiving Rescue/Parties: Country Hearts Hound Rescue
Contact information (publicly viewable on forum): Jerry Dunham, email@example.com, 512-961-8398
Are you a 501c3: Yes
Additional Info/situation:
Two coonhounds are both out of time at separate small-town shelters in north Texas (Paris and Mt Pleasant). Country Hearts Hound Rescue in Houston can take them. We can get the Paris puppy to the Mt Pleasant airport (OSA), so they can be picked up together. Wednesday would be best, but we'll work with whatever you can offer. If other than Wednesday, arrival will have to be late in the day, since the woman from Country Hearts works at a vet clinic and won't be home until 18:30 or so.
Unfortunately, the weather looks unfriendly except for late Thursday. That may be our only chance before the weekend.
We are working on ground transport, too, but so far the earliest I can find seems to be Sunday, and I'm not sure they'll have room for both dogs. The puppy is probably safe until then, but I doubt the adult Bluetick is. Please let me know if you have suggestions.
Thank you for helping the homeless animals.

School office worker talks heavily armed man out of mass shootingHe slipped in, police say, behind someone else -- armed and ready to do battle with police from a school as hundreds of frightened children huddled in their classrooms.Then suspect Michael Brandon Hill met Antoinette Tuff, a front office worker at Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy who told ABC News about deftly disarming Hill with a combination of prayer and simple human connection."He said that no one loved him, and I told him that I loved him and that it was going to be OK, that we were going to get out safely," she told the network Tuesday, hours after police had taken the 20-year-old suspect into custody following the afternoon incident outside of Atlanta.
Hill walked into the school about 500 rounds of ammunition, according to Detective Ray Davis of the DeKalb County Police Department.And while no one was injured, he did open fire -- shooting at police in some of the times he went outside, said Tuff. He also fired once inside the school, she said, before she had a chance to try to connect with him."So I began to tell him some of my life encounters and some of that things that actually was happening to me," she told ABC. "And to get him to be able to start talking with me and opening up.""He said that he hadn't taken his medication and that he was going to die anyway and that he was OK with dying and that he was going to kill all of the police officers," Tuff told the network."And that he wanted me to know that he was not going to hurt me," she said. "And I told him OK, and that it was going to be OK."Tuff said she encouraged Hill to surrender and offered to stay with him until police arrived. When he agreed, she said she helped him unpack his extra ammunition before officers came.
Congratulations to Antoinette for keeping calm and pressing the fight in her own way. She was successful and that's what counts.
On a side note. The big picture is still being missed.
"He said that he hadn't taken his medication and that he was going to die anywayDo not war for peace. If you must war, war for justice. For without justice there is no peace. -me

Very good!! When my dough was done and I went to make the balls, it totally collapsed into a gooey pile, but I still dipped the wads in the butter, and then in my herbs and parm, and after I let it rise it looked like real dough again. In the end it was perfect!! Tasted great, my whole family loved it. Just don't worry if it looks like it flopped, it will come out OK in the end. WONDERFUL!! Thank you, Susanne!
I just baked this tonight for the first time (and pretty much only my 2nd time to ever make bread) and it was brilliant. I always tweak recipes, and I dont have a breadmaker, so I started off with warming the water, mixing in the sugar and sprinking the yeast over to foam/cream for a while, before mixing in the rest of the ingredients to make the dough, kneading and allowing to rise for 30min. Then following with breaking off hunks and dipping in the butter, mixed herbs minced garlic etc, and putting in the pan, and again allowing to rise before baking. I also probably had closer to 2 cups of flour as the dough was a bit sticky, and it was still sticky ish but probably easier to handle after that. Oh and I don't really measure my seasonings so they were probably 2x the recipe. The result was beautiful soft bread with a nice hint of garlic and subtle herb flavours, and cheese and tomato that i sprinkled on top. It had a lovely thin crust, and broke apart easily. Thank you for this wonderful idea! I plan to use the base of the recipe for sweet bread and different savoury flavour combos, as well as a basic white loaf. Hope for people who dont have breadmakers! :)
This was a huge hit at the dinner table! This wonderful bread accompanied our Valentine Meal. The Kids loved pulling thier piece of bread apart from the bread ring. We all loved the taste too!! My bread machine did the hard work while I prepared the other parts of the meal. This is permanently in my recipe box!! Thank YOU!!

Less salt and fat. More whole grains, fruit, veggies and low-fat dairy. This is what kids can expect in the school lunchroom soon, according to new nutrition standards for school meals announced today by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and first lady Michelle Obama.
An amendment that would give schools more flexibility in deciding what constitutes nutritious meals for children has been included in the agriculture appropriations bill. Colorado Senator Mark Udall offered the amendment after USDA officials proposed limits on starchy vegetables that schools can serve.
First Lady Michelle Obama today celebrated more than 1,200 schools—including 35 in Colorado—that made changes to boost nutrition and physical activity under the HealthierUS School Challenge.
New school lunch food standards soon to be implemented by the Obama Administration are raising the ire of Colorado's two Democratic senators.

Affirmative Action and Its Mythology
Article Citation
Fryer, Roland G. Jr. , and Glenn C. Loury. 2005. "Affirmative Action and Its Mythology." Journal of Economic Perspectives, 19(3): 147-162.
For more than three decades, critics and supporters of affirmative action have fought for the moral high ground through ballot initiatives and lawsuits, in state legislatures, and in varied courts of public opinion. The goal of this paper is to show the clarifying power of economic reasoning to dispel some myths and misconceptions in the racial affirmative action debates. We enumerate seven commonly held (but mistaken) views one often encounters in the folklore about affirmative action (affirmative action may involve goals and timelines, but definitely not quotas, e.g.). Simple economic arguments reveal these seven views to be more myth than fact.

The Anderson Symphony Orchestra is bringing back its traditional Christmas Concert, but with a new element this year.
The orchestra will hold its annual performance with guest vocalist Heather Bays at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Paramount Theatre.
The symphony will remain pretty traditional with the exception of the new performance, said Dana Stone, ASO executive director. Stone thinks it's the first time a singer will perform during the Christmas Concert since 2009.

Buffalo Bills running back Fred Jackson was back on the field and practicing this afternoon, as the Bills prepared for Sunday's game at Indianapolis. Jackson sat out last week's game against Miami with a concussion.
"They did everything they had to in order to get me cleared," Jackson said before practice.
Bills coach Chan Gailey said C.J. Spiller will start at running back against the Colts.
The BIlls likely will need good production out of their running-back duo. The Colts have a productive offense, ranking fourth in the league in yards gained. The Colts' defense ranks 22nd in the league against the run and is 29th in yards per rush. Buffalo is fourth in rush average, at 5.2 yards a carry.
Meanwhile, Bills fullback Corey McIntyre left practice early after tweaking his left leg during individual drills. He walked to the sidelines to get checked out by trainers then was driven back to the locker room. The Bills practiced inside Ralph Wilson Stadium.
The Bills are in better health for the game. Defensive end Chris Kelsay, who sat out the Miami game with a sore neck, was practicing fully. Not practicing were defensive end Mark Anderson, cornerbacks Aaron Williams and Ron Brooks and defensive tackle Kyle Williams.

JOPLIN, Mo. —
Checking the mail is usually cause for celebration around here. The kids never know what might be stashed among the bills and cable TV advertisements. A pen-pal letter; a wildlife magazine; a package of stickers from an out-of-town aunt.
But this time of year, there's one item that's more treasured than anything else: the Halloween costume catalog.
Never do the kids gather so reverently around a single object as they do when looking at decorations and costumes for the beloved season. They huddle and whisper, taking hours of each day to decide what they want to be for Halloween.
It's no matter that we may never purchase anything from the catalog, visual inspiration is savored. The catalogs were devoured this year as usual so that before the end of September, my girls knew what they wanted to be for Halloween.
My preschooler, in particular, had big ideas. So big, in fact, that she had chosen six different perfect costumes. She wanted to be a butterfly, a cow, a green fairy, a baker, a renaissance princess and a crayon. She wanted all of these things so badly that we had trouble narrowing it down to a final choice. And by trouble, I mean a conniption fit.
Her distress was so profound that she reverted to blubbering screams of frustration before imprisoning herself under the bed, because, apparently, dust bunnies are preferable to decisions.
At 4 years old, she's mostly past unreasonable meltdowns. But this one, I realized, I should have seen coming. As with most children, an abundance of options has a tendency to cause extreme anxiety.
Little ones are becoming more confident and outspoken during toddler and preschool years, but their ability to make smooth decisions is still developing. When confronted with a wealth of possibilities, many kids will shut down rather than face the possibility of choosing badly. Even when Ñ or perhaps especially when Ñ their options are all awesome, it can be hard for them to decide on the winner.
It happens when choosing something to wear from a closet full of clothing. Or when picking a single breakfast food from several delicious options. Or when it's time to choose a movie for a rainy afternoon.
It's a simple fix, when approached from the front end: Whittle down their options until their choices become manageable. Instead of sending her into her closet to choose an outfit for the day, set aside three choices for her to decide between. Offer two breakfast options instead of opening up the full menu. When there's less chance for making the wrong decision, kids will have less anxiety during the process.
But once the possibilities have already become overwhelming, it's harder to pave a straight path forward. Then, it's just up to us to help them navigate what's an already fraught situation.
Once they've calmed down, lay out the merits of each choice. Be sure to remind them that whatever isn't chosen this time can be enjoyed next time.
Helping our kids get through a difficult choice is about more than pulling them out of a bad mood. It's about letting them feel the satisfactory effects of a decision well made, and understanding that each decision isn't life or death. It's about teaching them to focus on important details and leave the rest by the wayside.
And whether that's the difference between a bowl of Cheerios and a piece of toast, or a cow costume and a butterfly costume, we'll all rest better once the decision has been mad e.

Sumner is closing in on a final design for replacement of an iconic bridge that crosses the White River in the southwest part of the city.
City spokeswoman Carmen Palmer said at a study session last week that the goal is to create a distinct look for the Bridge Street bridge that's "immediately recognizable" to residents and commuters.
The old steel-truss span connects Sumner's downtown corridor with the North Puyallup and Edgewood areas.
During the meeting, Sumner City Council members agreed that the bridge, known for its Christmas light display, should be replaced with an open layout.
Council members praised one proposed design for creating a streamlined connection between downtown and The Old Cannery Furniture Warehouse, a well-known institution in East Pierce County.
This proposal was one of three options presented by consulting firm BergerABAM and will serve as a template as the city moves forward with more detailed planning.
Dave Radcliffe, CEO of The Old Cannery, has been closely involved with the design and agreed with the council's favored option.
"This seems to open it up a great deal for us," Radcliffe said at the meeting.
Early renderings show a concrete-girder structure with a decorative railing and wave-like fixtures. The bridge would have a viewpoint in the middle for pedestrians to stop and clearly see the water.
The Bridge Street bridge is beloved for its holiday displays, provided by The Old Cannery, and the tradition would be incorporated into the new structure year-round.
High-tech LED light fixtures would be timed and programmed in a color-coordinated manner. The city could alternate red and green lights for Christmas and use other colors for events throughout the year.
City staff will work with BergerABAM to narrow down details on the proposal, including types of materials for fixtures and railings. The City Council will then review the details.
Palmer told The News Tribune the city will continue to inform the public and accept feedback as the process continues. But officials will move with speed and efficiency.
"The current bridge isn't getting any younger," she said in an email.
The design is estimated to cost $591,000 to $1 million more than the current $12 million covered by grant funding; the extra cost will be covered by the city street fund.
The council's favored design was the least expensive of the three options. The new bridge wouldn't require as much maintenance, and city engineer Mike Dahlem said it would be "clear and easy to inspect."
Sumner's elected leaders were impressed with its distinct features.
Council member Kathy Hayden said she was pleased to see a proposal that would better connect downtown Sumner with the west side of the river.
Hayden added that she wants to see the bridge's light fixtures match those that line Main Street so downtown "doesn't stop at the tracks."
Council member Nancy Dumas said she likes that the open layout would direct people's focus to the river rather than the span itself.
"I like the lower profile," she said. "It opens up the asset of the river."
The Bridge Street bridge, built in 1920, carries 7,500 vehicles daily. It's rated 11.3 out of 100 by the state, well below the priority replacement rating of 50.
The bridge is classified as functionally obsolete and structurally deficient, meaning its design is outdated and it requires replacement of some or all of structure. It's also fracture critical, so failure of one component could cause the entire span to collapse.
Two years ago, the city imposed a weight limit of 12 tons on the bridge, which already had a 14-foot height limit. East Pierce Fire & Rescue had to adjust its response procedures to keep overweight emergency vehicles off the bridge.
Dahlem said construction of the replacement bridge likely will begin in spring 2015 for an estimated fall 2016 completion. The current bridge will remain open while the new bridge is under construction.

|Coral Gardens snorkel trail markers restored
|Thursday, 22 December 2011 11:15
Tiles markers on the snorkel trail around the popular Bight Reef (White House Reef) in front of Coral Gardens have been successfully restored, thanks to volunteers and the Turks and Caicos Reef Fund.
"The White House Reef Snorkel Trail is probably one of the most frequently visited sights on this island visited by tourists coming here," said David Stone, deputy chairman of the TCRF. "We are very pleased with the outcome of the work completed today. The trail markers all look like they did when they were first placed around this gorgeous inshore reef."
The snorkel trail, which was installed by a group of local residents and the Department of Environmental and Coastal Resources more than 10 years ago, had not been properly maintained, so most of the trail markers were virtually illegible.
The trail markers consist of a ceramic tile made by local artists on Providenciales mounted to a reef ball anchored to the sea floor. Each marker describes an important fact about coral reefs and how to protect them.
Organized by the TCRF and with the help of volunteers, scuba divers worked underwater all day Dec. 18 to remove and replace the existing trail markers. Volunteers on the beach worked hard to clean the accumulated deposits of calcium carbonate and algae on each of the snorkel trail markers.
During the work that lasted all day on Sunday, the TCRF also signed up members and explained to passing tourists what the organization had in the works for additional projects. Somewhere Café and Lounge assisted the effort and helped to promote the project. They hosted a barbecue and had life music to help attract tourists to the event.
"We want to extend a big thank you to all the staff at Somewhere Café and Lounge," said Don Stark, chairman of the TCRF. "Without their help with logistics and with promotion, we couldn't have completed this work as quickly and as easily as we did. We also want to thank Provo Turtle Divers who graciously supplied our scuba divers with the scuba tanks needed to complete the work."
In addition to completing the snorkel trail restoration, the TCRF raised more than $1,000 through generous donations from people who stopped by to learn more about the work going on that day and about the TCRF.

And while families across New York struggle to make ends meet, many former Members of Congress are earning millions as high-powered lobbyists – while, at the same time, earning a taxpayer-funded retirement pension. That is unacceptable especially as estimates show taxpayers pay roughly $25 million annually in pensions for former Members of Congress.
After serving in Congress for five years, Members are eligible to receive a benefit at retirement age. But, if you ask me, the taxpayer shouldn't be subsidizing the retirement costs of former Members of Congress who are working as millionaire lobbyists.
That's why I've introduced the Congressional Double Dipping Pension Prevention Act. My bill would prohibit former Members of Congress who become lobbyists and earn more than a million dollars a year from receiving their congressional pension.
Taxpayers are having a hard enough time paying their bills with their salary or their own pensions without having to worry about paying for millionaires too. In tough economic times such as these, we need to find ways to make our government more efficient. Common sense cuts must include former Members of Congress turned-lobbyists who need to make sacrifices alongside their former constituents.
