Coconut palms swayed in the trade winds like tipsy hula dancers. Turquoise waves nibbled the virginal seashore. A flock of multi-hued parrots landed in unison on a nearby baka tree. They opened their beaks as if chirping their songs for me and me alone. How fortunate I felt to be working in that pristine, primitive paradise, untouched by television and fast-food joints. Then again, island life was hard. People lived in rat-infested thatched huts with no indoor plumbing or electricity. But...

The Office of Career Services is responsible for the front-end of the internship program. The database of approved internships is maintained by that office. Resume writing workshops are offered frequently to students each semester along with professional development counseling. In order to enroll in the program, students must have junior status and not be on any judicial or academic probation.
International Business majors should discuss the available "approved" internships with the Director of International Business Internships in the semester prior to arranging an internship.
The students must complete the following forms which may be downloaded from the Career Services website or from the Office of Career Services:
1. Intent to register
2. Credit Approval Form
3. The Credit Approval Form must be signed by academic advisor
4. Once hired by the internship site, the credit approval form must be signed by the Director of International Business Internships
A mandatory orientation session is held each semester to discuss the course requirements.
Students who wish to develop a new "internship site" must have the organization complete a Site Information Form and submit it to the Director of International Business Internships for approval.
Upon submission of all forms and attendance at the orientation session, students will be registered in the academic internship course. Students earning International Business credit on their internship will normally be supervised during the semester by the Director of International Business Internships.

Clear Creek Valley is one of the most pristine and secluded natural areas in Central Ohio. Variations of land surfaces, soils and climates have produced a medley of habitats that harbor more than 800 plant species and 150 species of birds, many of them rare.
You may catch a glimpse of turkey, deer, ruffed grouse, coyote, black vultures or even see the traces of the elusive bobcat along the park's 12 miles of trails.
Centuries of glacial flooding have cut the valley through the Black Hand sandstone leaving an array of scenic cliffs and rugged rock formations overlooking the creek.
Oak and hickory forests interspersed with giant hemlocks and ferns, along with the last remaining Ohio colonies of rhododendron, provide the perfect backdrop or a getaway from city life.
185 Clear Creek Road
Rockbridge, OH 43149
(northern Hocking & southern Fairfield counties)
From I-270, take U.S. 33 east toward Lancaster. Go south past Carroll and stay on the bypass. Pass the stop light at Sugar Grove and go about one mile to Clear Creek Road (County Route 116). Turn right on Clear Creek Road (Sunoco Gas Station on the corner). Picnic areas, facilities and trails are located along Clear Creek Road for the next seven miles.
Four main picnic areas
State Nature Preserve: Clear Creek is home to the state of Ohio's largest nature preserve, an area of 4,729 acres. The park is a popular destination for birding enthusiasts.
Clear Creek: Anglers can picnic alongside the stream and fish for bass and brown trout as well as enjoy fishing from two docks at Lake Ramona.

Square Inc has been in talks with several rivals for a possible sale as the mobile payments startup looks to stem widening losses and dwindling cash, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
The company spoke to Google Inc (Mountain View, CA, USA) earlier this year about a possible sale, the Journal reported, adding that it wasn't clear whether the talks are continuing.
NFC player Gemalto says Spain's Banco Santander is now issuing its Optelio Contactless microSD solution in Spain, Brazil, Chile and Mexico as part of a University Smart Card program.
The application has already gone live at several universities, says Gemalto (Amsterdam, Netherlands), and means that students, teachers and other personnel can use mobile phones for tasks such as gaining entry to buildings and to make payments in canteens.
Canada's Rogers Communications has introduced a new consumer-oriented M2M service allowing consumers to engage with brands while they are shopping through the use of mobile offers, applications and payments technology.
Branded Mobile Shopper, the service is being trialed by RioCan (Toronto, Canada), Canada's largest owner of shopping centers, in a number of Ontario-based shopping centers.
Target Corp, which suffered a massive data breach during the holiday shopping season, is speeding up a $100 million program to implement the use of chip-enabled smart cards to protect against cyber theft, a senior company executive said.
In an opinion piece on Monday in the Hill newspaper on the eve of his much-awaited appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chief Financial Officer John Mulligan said the retailer's goal was to have the technology in place by early 2015, more than six months ahead of schedule.
A data breach at Target Corp that exposed the credit card information of tens of millions of holiday shoppers was a major black eye for the retailer. In its wake, investors and analysts are circling companies that could benefit from a major upgrade in credit card technology.
Filipino operator PLDT has launched what it calls a suite of mobile M2M solutions to support "credit, sales and mobile payment operations for local businesses".
The operator is marketing the new services through its Smart Enterprise division under the brand names of Smart M2M Credit, M2M Sales and M2M Pay.
Network management and security specialist Mako Networks has teamed up with Sprint to provide services for the operator's mobile customers.
According to the company's statement, the deal will see Mako's (Auckland, New Zealand) technology added to Sprint's (Overland Park, KS, USA) portfolio of services for retailers and distributed enterprises.
Mobile payments specialist HybridPayTech says it has chosen Vodafone's M2M platform to provide connectivity for its service.
A subsidiary of Freeport Capital (Montreal, Canada), HybridPayTech claims to offer the world's first completely secure, end-to-end mobile payment service that can process both credit and debit card transactions.
Isis, a venture of three of the top U.S. mobile providers, said on Tuesday it would expand its much-delayed mobile payments service nationwide later in 2013 after it tested the concept with consumers in two markets.
Isis, formed by Verizon Wireless (New York City, NY, USA), AT&T Inc (Dallas, TX, USA) and T-Mobile US (Bellevue, WA, USA), is a so-called mobile wallet service that allows consumers to make payments by waving their phone at a check-out terminal, instead of using a plastic card.
The UK's Three has made further progress on growing its M2M business through a new wholesale deal with data airtime provider Mobius.
Under the partnership, Mobius (Coalville, UK) will use Three Wholesale's network to provide connectivity and NFC services for devices used in the retail and hospitality industry.
The operator says its "ultrafast" network will power NFC and contactless payment terminals used to process customer orders and transactions and also serve as a back-up for fixed-line data connections during outages.

Patrick Kane Denies Having A Drinking Problem
When you combine an incredibly dull summer with another Patrick Kane drinking extravaganza, you get the most honest question a Chicago Blackhawks beat writer has ever asked to open up the convention: Do you have a drinking problem?
Its a fair question. Kane has made news the past couple of years more for his adventures off the ice than his actual play on it. Im actually surprised this is a question that no one had asked Kane before Friday.
Kanes drinking has been covered well on Deadspin and has led him to be involved in more fake trade rumors than Roberto Luongo. Its even also led us to question him in the event that he misses a game with an illness.

Instant XBMC [Instant] — Save 50%
Build your very own entertainment system in XBMC with this quick and easy-to-follow guide with this book and ebook
This article by Charles McColm, the author of Instant XBMC , covers the quick start of XMBC. XBMC can be set up to look up the metadata for movies, television shows, music videos, and music; but before lookups are possible, XBMC needs a way to recognize what to look up. For movies, music, and television shows XBMC uses the filename and date as a basis for the lookup. Music needs to be tagged properly with a tag editor for XBMC to be able to understand what to look up. You also need a way to get your media files from your computer to your XBMCbuntu system. We'll be sending files over a network using FileZilla, an FTP/SFTP program, and by using Samba (drag-and-drop) shares. Lastly, we'll add your copied data to your movie, TV show, or music library.
(For more resources related to this topic, see here.)
Step 1 – naming or tagging media correctly
Before you dive into adding your movies, television shows, and music, it's important to have properly formatted media. XBMC can automatically download (scrape) information about movies, television shows, and music videos, but it needs to have a consistent way of figuring out what the name of the movie or TV show is. Movies and television shows need to be named in a particular way and music needs to be tagged with a proper ID tag, in order for XBMC's scrapers to correctly identify each media.
Naming movies
Movies should be named with their name, followed by parenthesis containing the year when each movie was released. For example:
- \Movies\The Odessa File (1974).mp4
- \Movies\The Day of the Jackal (1973).mp4
- \Movies\Shrek (2001).mp4
Naming TV shows
Television shows are normally kept in subfolders and each show is named with its name, the season, and the episode number. The format is Directory\Showname.s##.e##.file extension . For example:
- \TV\Futurama\Futurama.s03e01.mp4
- \TV\Futurama\Futurama.s03e02.mp4
- \TV\Futurama\Futurama.s03e03.mp4
Tagging music
In order for XBMC to correctly scrape information about a song, the song needs a proper ID tag. ID tags are metadata about the song information, such as the artist, album title, song title, and song number. Programs like iTunes, Winamp, or EasyTAG (shown in the following screenshot) can be used to tag songs before they're uploaded/added to your XBMC library.
Step 2 – getting the files to your XBMC computer
If you've installed XBMC on a computer you use on a regular basis for ripping your music and video collection, you can skip to the Step 3 – adding files to your movie, TV show, or music library section. If you've installed XBMCbuntu to a separate computer, you need a way to get files from your desktop computer to your XBMCbuntu Media Center. Remember the computer name, username, and password you used during the XBMCbuntu installation? We're about to use that information. Because XBMCbuntu is based on Linux, there are several ways we can transfer files to our media server: NFS, Samba, SFTP, FTP, and a host of different services. For simplicity, we'll concentrate on SFTP and Samba.
Name resolution
You can see what IP address your XBMC media center is using by selecting System | System Info | Summary. Using your IP address you can send files to your XBMCbuntu via SFTP using a program like FileZilla or WS_FTP. But if you use DHCP, this gets a bit tedious when your IP address changes. Normally, you want to just use your XBMCbuntu computer name for SSH/ SFTP and file sharing activities. Setting up DNS is beyond the scope of this Instant guide, but there are a couple of things you can do to help with name resolution. Most routers have an option to assign a name to a system with a particular MAC address (which you can see on XBMC by navigating to System | System info and Network). In the following screenshot, I've added a static DHCP reservation for my XBMCbuntu machine called xbmc. I found the MAC address by checking my router's Device list menu. If you're comfortable with the Linux command line, you can also obtain the MAC address of your network card by typing ifconfig (on Windows machines you can do the same at the command prompt by typing ipconfig). A router's menus and options vary depending on the router you use, but many have a section where you can assign DHCP reservations to a particular computer so it always gets the same address.
You can make Windows computers see your XBMCbuntu system with one simple modification to your XBMC system. Edit the file /etc/nsswitch.conf and on the line that begins with hosts, add the word wins.
Sending files via FileZilla
FileZilla is a cross-platform, multiprotocol client for sending and receiving files from servers. Other clients exist, but FileZilla is licensed under the GPL license and available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. Download FileZilla from https://filezilla-project.org/ , or if you're using a Debian-based flavor of Linux, just type in the following command in the console:
sudo apt-get install filezilla
Once FileZilla is installed, navigate to File | Site Manager (or just click on the Site Manager icon, the first icon). Enter the hostname you gave your XBMCbuntu machine in the Host section. Select SFTP SSH File Transfer Protocol| from the Protocol section. Select Normal from Login Type. In the User field enter the username you used when setting up XBMCbuntu. In thePassword field enter the password. Click on Connect.
Once connected, local files default on the left-hand side of the screen and remote files on the right. Navigate to the files and folders you want on each side. To send a file, simply right-click the file and select Upload. You can upload multiple files using Ctrl and clicking on the filenames, and then right-clicking and selecting Upload.
Configuring and sending files via Samba
One of the reasons to use XBMCbuntu is that it sets up movies, music, TV shows, downloads, and system folders in your home directory and adds them to the Samba smb.conf configuration file. Samba is a suite of tools for interoperating with Windows systems. Samba is not a part of a normal Linux install, so if you're setting up XBMC manually under Linux, you'll need to install Samba, create a Samba password for your account, and set up each Samba share for movies, television shows, and music. This is one of the things that comes preconfigured on XBMCbuntu. XBMCbuntu saves you the steps of having to download Samba, create accounts, and configure shares. Linux understands Samba too; you can open a nautilus or nemo session, hold down Ctrl and press L, and type smb://yourservername/ to open a session. If you cannot see your XBMCbuntu Samba shares from your Windows system, make sure you've added WINS to the /etc/nsswitch.conf file; check to see that the NETBIOS name is the name you gave your XBMCbuntu system, and that the workgroups are the same on your Windows and XBMCbuntu machine.
To send a file to the XBMCbuntu system from a Windows 7 machine, perform the following steps:
- Click on the Libraries icon in the taskbar.
- Under the Network section of the window that opens, click on the NETBIOS name of your XBMCbuntu server and choose the folder you want to copy to.
- Drag files from where you have them stored to the XBMCbuntu network folder you just opened.
Depending on how much data you're copying, the process may take from a few seconds to several hours.
Step 3 – adding files to your movie, TV show, or music library
Once your music, movies and shows have been copied to your entertainment system, you need to tell XBMC what type of content you've added, and where to look for it.. XBMC's 10 foot interface makes adding content simple.
For pictures and music, perform the following steps:
- Click on either Pictures or Music from the main menu, and then click on Add Source.
- In the Add Pictures / Music Source dialog box, click on Browse to browse to the directory where you've stored your pictures or music. (You'll notice blue and red icons; blue icons are local sources, red icons are network sources). Once you've found the directory you stored your media in, click on OK.
- Next give the source a name. You can add as many sources as you want, so it's a good idea to name them differently to stay organized.
For television shows and movies, perform the following steps:
- Click on Videos from the main menu, click on Files from the submenu, and then click on Add Videos.
- In the Add Video Source dialog box, click on Browse to browse to the directory where you've stored your movies, television shows, or music videos, and then click onOK.
- Give the source a name. Again it's a good idea to give the source a name that reflects the content, movies on laptop share, for example.
- Next the Set content type dialog box appears showing three panels. Choose the type of video from the top-left dropdown. You can choose None, Music, Videos, TV shows, or Movies. As you choose the content type, the Choose a scraper panel on the right-hand side also changes. There is a default scraper for each video type, but you can also select Get more to get other scrapers for that type of content (sometimes desirable, if you're adding anime or content in another language). Select OK when you're done.
XBMC now attempts to add the content to its video library. If the content is correctly named, XBMC will add it to the library.
This article covered the quick start of media files and XBMC in a very systematics and stepwise mode. The media files that we used here were the movie files, TV shows and music libraries.

About the Author :
Charles McColm
Charles McColm is the leader of a community-based computer refurbishing project. He got his start in computing, like many of his generation, on the Commodore 64. In 1983, Charles joined The Barrie User's Group, a Commodore computer club. Club members were open with their projects and code, something that would later inspire him to be a part of the free and open source movement.
Charles first started using Linux when his brother brought home a Slackware 96 CD. Initially, it was the large collection of communication software on the CD that attracted Charles' attention. Later, the free software philosophy and community were what influenced him the most.
Charles met Marcel Gagne, author of several Linux books, at the Kitchener Waterloo Linux User Group and later went on to review a couple of chapters of Marcel's Moving to Free Software before it went to press. Instant XBMC is Charles' first book.
Charles became interested in XBMC when he needed to find a better solution to the mass of CDs and DVDs spread throughout several rooms. His wife and son are much happier for it. They stream music and video to the TV connected server and use XBMC to entertain from time to time.

Developing Portable Mobile Web Applications
Mobile applications for iPhone and Android smartphones are where the excitement is today in application development. There are plenty of customers (Canalys says there were almost 8 million Android phones and more than 25 million iPhones sold in 2009), and those users regularly load applications on their phones (AdMob says Android and iPhone users average around nine downloads a month, and iTouch users average around 12). The demand for mobile applications is hot.
How can a Linux developer tackle this market? Native applications for the iPhone must be developed with the Apple iPhone SDK, which runs only on Mac OS X. Android development is supported on Linux with the Android SDK, but ideally, you'd like to develop apps on Linux that run on both iPhone and Android.
Browser security prevented the storage of local data.
Platform features like geolocation were not accessible from HTML/JavaScript.
Users had to start the browser to use a Web app, which then didn't match the native UI.
HTML5 and related specifications add features like canvas, video, local storage, Web workers, off-line applications and geolocation to HTML, and WebKit is rapidly integrating these into the layout engine.
Specialized runtimes and libraries exist to allow JavaScript access to underlying phone functions, such as location, acceleration, sound, contacts, battery, camera, telephony and calendar. Some of these (for example JIL, BONDI and WAC) are industry-led, involve custom Web runtimes and aim to provide a universal widget environment across platforms. Others (such as PhoneGap, Titanium and Rhomobile) focus on iPhone and Android, with ties to the native SDKs that extend the capabilities of Web apps. As HTML5 implements similar features, these libraries generally conform their APIs to the HTML5 APIs.
JavaScript libraries have been developed to address the look-and-feel problem, including:
iUi: a small extensible library that mimics the iPhone user interface.
iWebKit: another framework for iPhone-style applications.
Android and iPhone both use WebKit as their layout engine, but there are still differences, partly due to the selection of different WebKit releases:
Android 1.6 (HTC G1) uses WebKit 525.20 and implements only Canvas, Canvas Text and Geolocation.
Android 2.1 (Motorola Droid) uses WebKit 530.17 and adds the rest of HTML5 (video, audio, local storage, Web Workers and off-line applications).
iPhone 3GS and iTouch use WebKit 528.16 and .18 and include all features except for Web Workers (multithreading).
iPad uses WebKit 531.21 and includes all features.
Developing Web applications for smartphones is pretty straightforward, but there are some things you need to know:
It's not like C: if you're used to developing Linux applications in C or C++ or Java or Perl, this is different. Web application development is a little closer to the Android development environment, where screen layouts are in XML files, and functionality is written in Java, but mostly, it's like Web development.
Native apps require native SDKs: if you want users to be able to load your application from iTunes and Android Market, you have to enable that with the appropriate SDKs. There are workarounds that I talk about later.
Rick Rogers has been a professional embedded developer for more than 30 years. Now specializing in mobile application software, when Rick isn't writing software for a living, he's writing books and magazine articles like this one.
Android compatibility.
I'm getting my feet wet with mobile development and am trying to get this working. I'm developing on an HTC Droid Eris with Android 2.1. All I'm getting is a black screen. Any one have any ideas if it should work? Or where I should be looking?

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

The year that Upper St. Clair resident Dan Shea was born, the Pittsburgh Pirates went to the playoffs.
As those who follow the team know painfully well, the team hasn't had a winning season since. But that hasn't deterred Dan from catching, as they say, Bucco Fever.
"I've been following the Pirates all year long, and I'm really excited about them right now," said the John Carroll University junior following a recent round at USC's three-hole golf course.
He's not alone in among folks his age and younger, despite the 19-year drought.
With Pittsburgh firmly above .500 with one of the best records in Major League Baseball in advance of Tuesday's All-Star Game, we talked to members of the so-called "lost generation" of Pirates fans about how they think the rest of the 2012 season will play out.
And although they've never seen anything remotely resembling championship-caliber baseball when it comes to the home team, they seem to be optimistic.
Check out what they have to say.

GAYLORD — A Gibbon dairy farmer faces three more criminal charges in connection with selling unpasteurized milk and other food products.
Michael Hartmann, 59, is accused of selling raw milk products in his long-running legal battle over state regulations.
In 2010 state health officials linked more than a dozen illnesses, including E. coli infections, to Hartmann raw milk products, and he eventually pleaded guilty to charges stemming from that outbreak.
The three new charges stem from a January search of the Hartmann farm. State investigators found 300 gallons of bottled, unpasteurized milk on the farm. Hartmann is charged with selling raw milk, mislabeling food products and selling food without a license.
Prosecutors also say Hartmann has violated his plea agreement by failing to bring his dairy farm into compliance with state regulations. In January Hartmann was charged with illegally delivering unpasteurized milk to customers in the Twin Cities. State law bans such deliveries.

WATERVILLE, Maine --- Colby College senior All-Americans Amy Campbell (North Andover, Mass.) and Caroline Duke (Englewood, Colo.) both made the New England Small College Athletic Conference All-Conference First Team and teammates Claire Donegan (Great Falls, Va.) and Lexi Crook (South Burlington, Vt.) both made the second team on Wednesday.
Campbell was on the first team for the second consecutive year, while Duke is now a three-time All-NESCAC selection after being named to the second team the past two years. Donegan and Crook are All-NESCAC picks for the first time.
Campbell had 42 goals and 15 assists for 57 points to lead the Mules (13-4) before Wednesday's NCAA first round game with University of Southern Maine. She has 128 goals and 31 assists for 159 career points in 66 games and has 85 career draw controls and 68 groundballs. Campbell has scored 40-plus goals in each of the past three years. In the latest NESCAC statistics, Campbell ranks third in overall points (57), third in goals (42), sixth in points per game (3.35), sixth in goals per game (2.47), and 12th in assists per game (0.88).
Duke leads the Mules in caused turnovers with 39 and has added 27 groundballs while leading Colby's defense. A captain along with Campbell and Carly Rapaport, Duke has 91 caused turnovers, 94 groundballs, and 49 draw controls in her career. Duke earned her All-American honor after the 2008 season. She was tied for second in the NESCAC in total caused turnovers and third in caused turnovers per game (2.29). Duke and the rest of the Mules lead the NESCAC in team caused turnovers per game (11.47).
Donegan ranks second on Colby in scoring with 16 goals and 22 assists for 38 points. The assist total is best on team as is her 34 groundballs. Donegan is tied for the team lead in draw controls (27) and ranks second in caused turnovers (23) to Duke. Donegan already has 33 goals and 41 assists for 74 points in just two years. She ranks tied for fourth in the conference in total assists, eighth in total caused turnovers, and ninth in assists per game (1.29).
Crook, a junior defender, ranks second on the Mules in groundballs (30), third in draw controls (23), and is tied for fourth in caused turnovers (21). Crook has 76 groundballs, 55 draw controls, and 45 caused turnovers in three years.

District Attorney Kelly Callihan told a county jury today that the killing of 21-year-old J-Quan Lewis was senseless, cold-blooded and done out of revenge.
Callihan made the statement as the murder trial got under way for two Philadelphia cousins accused of killing Lewis on Oct. 1, 2011, in a parking lot at the Oakhurst Homes.
The defendants 30-year-old Marquis "G" Neal and 29-year-old Anthony "Mack" Harvey are on trial at the Johnstown Court Room in the Central Park Complex.
The killing took place around 2 p.m. approximately 14 hours after Harvey and Lewis had a confrontation at Edder's Den, a bar in the Oakhurst neighborhood.
Callihan said that the confrontation ended in a fight outside the bar, where Lewis beat Harvey.
The next day, she said, the two hunted down Lewis where Neal allegedly shot the victim, including a final shot to the head at close range.
Only one defense lawyer, Jerome Kaharick, who represents Harvey, told the jury that the prosecution's evidence is filled with speculation and fantasy. He said he'll prove they have no evidence against Harvey.
Lawyers for Neal deferred making an opening statement until after the prosecution's case is rested.
The jury of seven women and five men were taken by bus to view the murder scene late this morning.

Facts About Google: What You Probably Don't Know
Everyone knows Google. The largest empire on the web; having not only dominated the web market, they pretty much created it. Starting out as nothing more than an innovative algorithm to battle the lacking search engines of the early days of the mainstream Internet, Google quickly exploded. Their revenue jumped, and suddenly they were making improvements and churning out new projects like no tomorrow. If you believe the paranoid (and possibly correct) privacy advocates, it won't be long before Google takes over the world. Or something like that.

My personal theory is that Predictamancy isn't actually in the scroll, but merely provided guidance in the process. So we presumably had Hubble-Tisha-Findamancer, with Marie casting some spell at them. But whatever the precise method, it is clear that all 4 disciplines played a part in both instances of the spell.
Maybe it was Hubble/Tisha/Marie making the scroll, and it requires a Findamancer to cast? We know that it was Findmancy that Wanda was using, because she complained that she wasn't a Findamancer.

Kennewick — The 378 graduates of Kamiakin High Schools class of 2012 have exemplified the Braves motto Be the best you can be, said Principal Chris Chelin at graduation at the Toyota Center.
The class had three valedictorians who received an A in every course, had 11 National Merit Commended scholars and brought home three state championships in sports, he said.
In addition, students raised more than $5,000 for the Tri-Cities Cancer Center.
They also had some fun along the way.
Students will miss the quirks of their school, like assemblies that always seemed to include shopping carts and spirit rallies that always seemed to need whipped cream, said Co-valedictorian Elizabeth Hooper.
But her twin and co-valedictorian Alexis Hooper said they wont miss waking up before dawn for zero-hour classes, showing up 20 minutes early to nab a good parking space and fire alarms.
What theyll value is not the fun, but what Salutatorian Emily DeFord called Fun II the type that gets better as time goes on, like the long hours of practice for marching band.
Dont be afraid to take on the tough challenges, she said.
What we all do after graduation is what we really should be excited about, said Taryn Meacham, the third co-valedictorian. So tonight dont party like its the end of the world, because it isnt.

- This article is about the U.S. artist. There is also a German artist called Bloodhound Omega.
Bloodhound (whose real name is Kim; born August 27, 1981) is a married artist living in Kentucky, USA. She was introduced to furry in 2000, although she had been drawing anthropomorphic art for several years already. Her work is often erotic in nature, though humor and cute things crop up as well.
Her trademark character, Bloodhound, is a red and white American Staffordshire Terrier, or pit bull, that has an overweight build. Bloodhound is best known for depicting this character (and others) as sexy despite the obesity, and has received praise for the honesty in her art.[1]
Bloodhound can sometimes be found on Tapestries MUCK, and her art is found at Fur Affinity. She attends conventions (AC, MFF, FCN, and IFC) and the occasional meet-up through the KY Furs group. Kim was born in Michigan, but moved to Ohio to attend the Columbus College of Art and Design where she received her BFA in traditional animation. Shortly after marrying, she headed further south to Louisville, where she currently resides.
This artist takes commissions frequently, offering both digital and traditional artwork. She uses mostly Tria and Copic markers, watercolors, Micron pens, and acrylic paint.

The Law of Attraction and the Buddhist
You can use your mind to change your life.
BY: Tara Springett, M.A.
Many people have heard of the law of attraction and have tried using it to make their dreams come true. And many people, including myself, had spectacular success with this technique. Unfortunately, for many people this method does not seem to work and they become discouraged.
From a Buddhist point of view, this lack of success is not surprising because many people are missing a decisive link to fulfill their wishes.
What is the missing link that clarifies the law of attraction ?
In my experience of working with this law for 25 years, the most important point is to work only with wishes that will definitely bring happiness. We probably all had the experience when we really wanted something only to find that it didn't suit us once we got it.
So, what are these wishes that will always bring genuine happiness? The answer is – only wishes that contain altruistic love for others will make us happy in the long-term. For example, if we wish for a soulmate and focus only on ourselves and our partner, there will be a great risk of picking the wrong person. But if we focus on how we want to benefit the whole world through the love and happiness we will generate in our relationship, our personal happiness will be an almost guaranteed by-product.
The missing link of the law of attraction from a Buddhist point of view is the skill of bringing altruistic love into all of our dreams and wish to benefit others through the fulfillment of our own desires.

Thread: 02 Avalanche torsion bars
02 Avalanche torsion bars
Hi, My dad has an 02 avalanche and wants to replace the torsion bars. The driverside is sagging. He cranked that side up but it is still low. After I made all the obvious comments about his weight, I told him that I would help him find a set. Does anyone know who sells aftermarket torsion bars? I had a set on my 95 silverado but can not figure out what brand they were. He is a GM employee so he can buy oem from the parts warehouse at or below dealer cost. But, if we can find some aftermarket at a good price then we will go with those. Thanks

A "Break" From the Norm: Story Ideas About Spring Break
March 2003STUDENTS DITCH THE BEACH TO VOLUNTEER DURING SPRING BREAK
About 40 students from Southern Methodist University will forgo the stereotypical beach bashes and ski trips this year to spend Spring Break working with immigrants and refugees, preserving natural resources, helping the homeless and teaching children to read.
Robin Lovin, the Cary M. Maguire University Professor of Ethics, says young people learn important lessons on these trips that they cannot learn in the classroom. Teaching students about their social responsibility is a critical role of higher education, he says.
From March 10-14, SMU students go to Chicago; Denver; Nashville, Tenn.; and Chattanooga, Tenn. More than 5,000 college students across the nation will participate in Alternative Spring Break trips this year.
The following students are available for interviews:
If peer pressure encourages college students to drink, could it also work the other way? That's the strategy behind the advertising campaign being launched in late February at SMU-- just in time for Spring Break.
Advertisements will soon cover the SMU campus with the message "Welcome to the Majority" to show that drinking responsibly is the norm for most students. The campaign -- created by advertising students for their peers -- is based on a survey that found most SMU students make responsible choices about drinking, but they suspect their peers don't.
The university-wide survey found that 75 percent of students say they average five or fewer drinks when they party (binge drinking is defined as more than five drinks in one sitting). This trend is seen at more than 100 other universities, according to the National Social Norms Research Center.
The survey also found:

Springfield, Mass. - September 25, 2010 - First-half goals by freshmen Michael Fowler and Drew Vanasse proved to be the difference as the Springfield College men's soccer team knocked off rival and 23rd-ranked Wheaton College, 2-1, in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) matchup on Saturday afternoon.
The win marked the first time since 1999 that the Pride was able to defeat the Lyons. Springfield improves to 6-2, 1-1 in league play and has already surpassed its win total from a year ago through only eight games this season. The Lyons, who entered the game ranked 23rd in the country in the latest NSCAA National Poll, lost for the first time this season as they move to 5-1-2, 0-1.
Springfield wasted no time scoring the game's first goal as it struck just 4:41 into the contest. Ryan Malone gathered a loose ball after a corner kick and shook a pair of Wheaton defenders as he got free on the left flank. The freshman then sent a cross that ran through the 18-yard box, untouched, until Fowler slammed home his second career goal from six yards out.
Vanasse scored what would prove to be the game-winner in the 37th minute as he corralled a loose ball in the box and fired home his fourth goal of the season. The freshman has had a knack for finding the back of the net this week as he scored two goals, including the game-winner, in Springfield's 4-0 win over Endicott on Thursday.
The Lyons made it a one-goal game as they scored just 2:16 later on a Max Swanson strike. Swanson let loose a shot to the right that deflected off a Springfield defender and found the back of the net.
Those would prove to be the only goals of the contest as Springfield finished the game with a 15-7 advantage in shots, while both squads took seven corner kicks. The game was filled with plenty of physical play as the teams combined for 35 fouls, including 21 by the hosts. All told, seven yellow cards were issued in the contest.
Chris Walton earned the win as he finished with two saves. Chris Smart made five saves in the loss for the visitors. Wheaton made things interesting in the waning moments as it had a deep throw in into the box, which Walton was able to punch away from danger as the final horn sounded.
The Pride returns to action on Monday evening when it travels to square off against local-foe Elms at 7:00 pm.

Before school started my 6-year-old bought an iPod Touch and while I initially didn't see much purpose for it besides music and a few games, he proved me wrong.
While he quickly fell in love with making videos that proved to be more than mindless electronic activity, I was also happy to find some apps thanks to the advice of friends, that were not only entertaining for him but also educational.
I was soon downloading apps for him to use to practice his spelling words [Spelling City] or work on math facts [Rocket Math] or even just review basic letters and numbers. [123 Color]
I quickly learned that there is no limit when it comes to educational apps for our kids and that the learning apps can also be fun.
St. Michael Catholic School second-graders use iPod touches in the classroom and here are some of the app's they use and Technology Specialist Amy Huberty recommends:
- My Math Flash Cards
- Math Kingdom
- Basic Math
- Addition Coach
- Spelling City
- Kids Clock
- Counting Coins
- Everyday Math Apps
Technology continues to change leaps and bounds but I think if we do our homework, we can always find ways to use it to our advantage and help our kids use it in more than a "mindless" way.
Do you use certain websites or apps with your kids? What ones do you recommend or have you had a good experience with? Tell us in the comments.

To Be Judged Not By the Color of Their Skin, But By the Content of Their Legal Briefs
[Ed. Note: In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, we'd like to re-run one of our favorite seasonal blog posts, thereby honoring Dr. King's legacy not only as a visionary and civil rights leader, but also as a copyright litigant. Don't judge us; we're lawyers, we can't help ourselves.]
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
These words will be heard many times this week as we celebrate the birthday of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. They are, of course, from King's famous 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech. But as you celebrate his life and listen to his words, ask yourself this question: have you ever heard the whole speech? Not just the key excerpts that will be repeatedly broadcast on the news, but the entire, seventeen-minute address as it was given to a crowd of 200,000 in front of the Lincoln Memorial?
Ever wonder why it's not shown on TV more often?
The answer, my friends, is copyright. Because while Dr. King may have dreamed of a world without racism, even he wouldn't dare to dream of a world without lawsuits.
Yes, in addition to being a noted clergyman and civil rights leader, Dr. King was a copyright litigant. Continue reading the full story . . . »

Miss Pennsylvania Teen USA will be pulling double duty for the rest of the year.
Cranberry resident Julia Belechak will take over the appearance duties of
Monnin, also of Cranberry, made headlines last month when she accused the Miss USA pageant of being rigged. In Monnin said a fellow contestant in the competition saw a list of the top five women in the pageant before judging began on the show.
The 27-year-old also called the organization fraudulent, lacking in morals and trashy.
The move earned her the ire of outspoken mogul—and Miss Universe co-owner—Donald Trump, who publicly threatened to sue Monnin.
The Miss Universe Organization—which runs the Miss USA competition—also denounced Monnin's allegations. In a statement to Cranberry Patch, the organization included an email Monnin sent to Sanders that said she was resigning because she did not agree with the organization's decision to admit transgendered contestants.
The Miss Universe organization has since slapped Monnin——with a defamation lawsuit.
Randy Sanders, State Director of the Miss Pennsylvania USA Pageant, said Monday The Miss Pennsylvania USA position would remain vacant.
Instead, teen queen Belechak will take over Monnin's appearance schedule.
"We are fortunate to have a wonderful Miss Pennsylvania Teen USA who has already made several appearances working with charities and organizations and is a strong advocate for bully prevention and empowering youth to embrace their uniqueness," Sanders said.
Belechak is now preparing to compete for her own shot at a national title. She will travel to the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas later this month to compete for the title of Miss Teen USA. The Miss Teen USA Pageant will be webcast live July 28.
Sanders added his organization offered the 2012 Miss Pennsylvania USA title to each of the runners-up from the state competition, but they all turned it down.
"By assuming the title of Miss Pennsylvania USA 2012, they would be giving up their chance to compete at the national level. While the idea of having the current title, even for a few months, was appealing to each of them, these are highly driven young women with their own personal goals and aspirations and we respect their decisions," he said.

About AOC
Cannon Renewal Project
Cannon Renewal Project
Early planning for a top-to-bottom renewal of the Cannon House Office Building is underway.
The Cannon House Office Building is the oldest Congressional office building outside of the U.S. Capitol Building. When completed in 1908, the building contained many building facilities modern for their time, including forced-air ventilation systems, steam heat, individual lavatories with hot and cold running water and ice water, telephones, and electricity. Originally there were 397 offices and 14 committee rooms in the Cannon Building; the 1932 remodeling resulted in 85 two- or three-room suites, 10 single rooms, and 23 committee rooms.
Due to its advanced age, the House of Representatives is in the early planning stages for a top-to-bottom renewal of the Cannon Building. The Architect of the Capitol assembled a team of in-house experts and consultants who are working with House leaders to define key aspects of the project. This effort better defined the estimated costs, scope of work, and potential timeline for the work.
The AOC is currently working with its Construction Manager as Agent (CMa), Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) and Architect/Engineer consultants on the design process and construction logistics planning.
Construction for the Cannon Renewal Project is scheduled to start in 2015. The initial phase of the project will focus on upgrades to the building-wide utilities and infrastructure, primarily on the basement level. The first Member Office lottery to be impacted will be November 2016. Beginning in 2017, the project will then renew one entire wing of the Cannon building every two years. The west wing (New Jersey Avenue) is scheduled to be renewed first, followed by the north wing, east wing and concluding with the south wing.
Final work on the renewal is currently planned to be completed in 2025.

DURHAM — The school board voted late Thursday to ask county commissioners for $194,000 more than originally planned for next year. The increases would broaden after-school programs and pay for additional interpreters for non-English speaking families.
The changes bring next year's budget increase to about $7.5 million more than the schools asked of the county last year, and to a total operating budget of more than $401 million.
The rest of the $7.5 million increase is because of staff raises, rising energy costs and two other programmatic changes, school officials said.
Superintendent Carl Harris is seeking to expand the More-At-Four pre-kindergarten program by 36 students and hire four additional social workers, whose salaries will be split with the Department of Social Services.
School officials meet with county commissioners Monday, partly to discuss the budget, which will be decided in May.
In other business, the board also finalized the attendance zone for Elementary B, the yet-unnamed school scheduled to open at 2051 Northern Durham Parkway in January 2009.
The new, traditional-calendar school is being built at the Brightleaf at the Park subdivision on the south side of N.C. 98.
The school will be built for 600 students, but will open mid-year with about 330 transfers from Oak Grove Elementary School. Oak Grove is currently about 230 students over capacity.
The attendance zone for the new school bisects the current Oak Grove zone. Families living north of N.C. 98, Sherron and Holder roads will remain at Oak Grove, while families living south of those borders will be assigned to the new school.
Families who live in the new school's attendance zone will be notified of the changes through Oak Grove and by mail.

Anne Arundel County Public Schools (AACPS) recognizes educators, employees and volunteers each month from September to June during the school year. Awards are presented at Board of Education meetings and Patch is pleased to announce the honorees.
The January "Educator of the Month" is Denise Drenning, a guidance counselor at Marley Elementary School. According to the AACPS website, The Educator of the Month is chosen by a committee made up of members of the Anne Arundel County Retired School Personnel Association (AARSPA).
Here is the text of the speech presented at the Jan. 9 meeting in honor of Drenning:
Today we honor an educator in our school system who is much more than an educator. She is an effective counselor, an avid supporter of her students and their families, a dedicated volunteer, and a very creative person who genuinely cares about the people whose lives she touches each day.
Denise Drenning, elementary school guidance counselor at Marley Elementary School, works tirelessly with the families at Marley in support of her students. Her office is constantly busy with students who need to talk, need a snack because they have come to school hungry, are checking in for the goals that they have set for themselves, or simply need to see her friendly face. She works cohesively with the learning lab technician to support the "red zone students."
A casual observer would see student faces "light up" when Denise comes to their classroom to teach guidance lessons, as her lessons are always tailored to meet the needs of the particular classroom. As a member of the behavior committee she always has a creative way to work with students to help them succeed in school.
Ms. Drenning puts her heart and soul in to her work at Marley. She organizes Harvest for the Hungry, involving the students in ways that make them enjoy helping those in need. For example, Mondays are "yellow days," when teachers dress to the theme and everyone brings in Mac and Cheese. Denise also heads up the Leadership team, working closely with students on their PVA applications.
Ms. Drenning works in support of the families of Marley as well as the children. She often meets with parents who might want to discuss issues at home or need help finding appropriate resources in the county to assist the needy. She works with the bilingual facilitator to get support for families and she even helps families make doctors' appointments for their children when the families are new to the county. She organizes holiday help for families through the Sharing Foundation, so that all students can have a Christmas with gifts under the tree. For the past two years she has organized the Food for Friends Program through the Maryland Food Bank. Marley had over 75 students receive a bag of food every Friday to share with their family over the weekend. This took an amazing effort and coordination on her part.
Denise Drenning – you are to be commended and admired for all your hard work – not only in the classroom, but outside the classroom as well. It is obvious that you genuinely care about the people whose lives you touch and it is obvious by your actions that for you, it is all about the students and making sure their needs are met. Thank you for all you do, and congratulations on being selected Educator of the Month for January 2013!

Ear edge dermatoses in dogs can consist of alopecia, seborrhea, crusting, ulceration and necrosis. Depending on the cause,
pruritus may or may not be present. When pruritus is present, canine scabies is the most likely cause of ear edge crusting
in dogs. However, not all ear edge dermatitis is due to scabies. Differential diagnoses, depending on the presence of accompanying
clinical signs, include hypothyroidism, light-responsive alopecia, atopy, seborrhea, ear edge vasculitis, frostbite, fly strike
and pemphigus foliaceus.
Atopic dermatitis
