Jul 25, 2014 Press Release
The clarion call has sounded from President Obama and the pundits residing in Washington D.C. that Congress should "do something." Lost in this theory of governing by crisis, is that President Obama's actions created this historic calamity on the border. This is a "man caused disaster" and the man who caused it is Barack Obama.

Quantum of Content and innovations in user experience
A research study from Forrester, commissioned by the app-recommendation company Tapjoy, finds that mobile users find mobile ads annoying. No surprise there. The study (posted here by Tapjoy on Scribd) does begin on the upbeat observation that "Smartphone app user behavior creates an attractive ad environment," but then goes on to document all the ways that users find the mobile advertising experience interruptive, annoying, boring and easy to ignore.
Not quite the silver bullet for TiVo/timeshift-challenged advertisers. The news is not all bad. Heavy app users are more engaged with their devices and are more likely to buy things through their devices. And Forrester makes some very specific recommendations to help marketers take into account the particularities of the mobile experience, especially as relevant to in-app advertising (which is why Tapjoy's sponsored the report, after all.) Here is my take on Forrester's suggestions:
Tapjoy just crossed the threshold over one billion mobile devices in their advertising network, so clearly this is a growing market. Although AdAge led their story on the study with the fact that "Consumers Especially Dislike Ads That Interrupt The App Experience," Forrester paints a picture filled with creative opportunities for advertisers, who have yet to really even sharpen their pencils on this challenge.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — The federal government's partial shutdown this past month is getting the blame for a worsening in business conditions in the Midwest. The monthly survey of supply managers and business executives by Creighton University economics professor Ernie Goss ranks states with a growth policy ranking.
A number of private companies reported reducing hiring and temporarily cutting employment as a result of the partial government shutdown, Goss said.
Oklahoma's overall index fell to 48.6 in October, compared with 49.2 in September. Components of the index were new orders at 51.6, production or sales at 46.1, delivery lead time at 47.7, inventories at 48.8 and employment at 48.7.
"Nondurable-goods firms and companies linked to energy are experiencing pullbacks in economic activity. On the other hand, metal producers in the state continue to expand at a solid pace," Goss said .
The Mid-America Business Conditions Index put the region's rank at a growth neutral 50, down from 54.8 in September and 53.8 in August. It follows eight consecutive months above growth neutral.
The region's employment gauge fell below 50.0 last month, dropping to 48.2 from 51.8 in September.
The next six months are more optimistic, according to the survey. The October index on economic optimism rose to 56.0 from September's 51.8.
The compromise between the White House and Congress "did boost the economic outlook for firms in our survey," the Associated Press quoted Goss as saying.
Based on confidence, hiring reports and overall business activity evidence in the survey, Goss said he expected holiday buying to be up from last year, "but it will not be a robust holiday buying season, with sales up by less than 4 percent from last year."

Imagine waking up, ordering breakfast and placing a bet all from the comfort of your hotel bed.
The Borgata unveiled mobile betting for guests of the hotel and casino Monday in a move that makes it the first hotel and casino in the country to offer the service.
A Borgata spokesman tells FOX 29 the system works through your hotel television. Once a guest purchases chips, a certain amount of money can be added to what the hotel calls an "e-wallet" which is then loaded onto your TV.
Guests can play the slots or video poker via a remote that's similar to one you would use for your television.
The hotel says the system will be tried out for 90 days. After that period, the Borgata plans to examine the system to see what has worked and what hasn't.
The hotel says the system uses a password and PIN combination, among other things, that will prevent minors from being able to play.

Coated for durability and consistency
Designed to resist moisture and climate changes, Plasticover is ideal for use in outdoor ensembles such as marching band, and for doublers who need to make quick changes between instruments. Whether in moist tropics or in desert heat, Plasticover responds instantly. The durable coating also provides a clear, projecting tone, making Plasticover a favorite with jazz, studio and pop musicians.

Best Uses
Comments about Rico Plasticover Tenor Saxophone Reeds:
If you are playing a lot of rock & roll style gigs and need some extra volume these reeds can help get you there. The coating also helps to produce a little of the gritty tone and edge that fits well in the rock/funk style. And some jazz players also like the results. I do not recommend them for concert band. You might want to buy several boxes at a time because the % of reeds that respond real good can be limited in any one box. This of course is no different than any brand of reed since it is natural cane. I have also tried the various synthetic reeds for the rock gig but have never played one that produces the tone that I prefer for this work. All in all a good reed for a little extra volume and a brighter tone.
Best Uses
Comments about Rico Plasticover Tenor Saxophone Reeds:
These do not seem to cause the bad (real bad) breath I get from cane reeds. I am thrilled with the ease of use, very satisfactory tone, and drability. I have played for more than forty years and these reeds encourage me to practice more.
Comments about Rico Plasticover Tenor Saxophone Reeds:
I used to use Hemke Premium exclusively for years. Rico Plasticover Tenor Sax reeds play well and don't need to be wet. I am a lead singer and sax player. I need to be able to put down the horn to sing and then pick it back up without any time to wet my reed. I can pick up the horn, even in the dessert, and get a great tone. Don't try that with cane. Plasticover reeds feel more like cane than the purely plastic reeds I've tried. I can't get the nuances from plasticover as I can from pure cane, but for club playing they work well. Still use Hempke for concert band and classical playing, but for rock and jazz I use plasticover.
It is a plastic covered reed.
Comments about Rico Plasticover Tenor Saxophone Reeds:
Worth the money
I just started using these reeds the other day and wow, these things are amazing. It amplifies the Tenor's sound so nicely. Not to mention that they are strong and durable. I use these both for concert and marching. I can't wait to try them out for jazz. If your thinking about trying these out, just give them a try. You wont regret it.
Comments about Rico Plasticover Tenor Saxophone Reeds:
Ricos Plasticover reeds are some of the best that I've found. I played in a marching band and noticed how simple it is to not have to wet my reed before playing. I highly recomend them.
Comments about Rico Plasticover Tenor Saxophone Reeds:
I play in a Ska band! I play the Tenor sax and these reeds have warped my mind! I found some while on the road, started playing on them and now im hooked!
Comments about Rico Plasticover Tenor Saxophone Reeds:
Big tenor sound. These are also very durable and last much longer than traditional reeds. Once you get used to the feel you won't go back to other reeds.

By Doug and Polly Smith
Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — Dear Mainland Motorists— Doug's getting honked at so much, he thinks he's in a roadrunner movie. Safety sultans advise that when a driver's attracting much such noise, he should consider amending his driving techniques or perhaps losing the keys. You be the judge.
As the I-190 North exits onto Route 62 in Niagara Falls (some call it Niagara Falls Boulevard, others call it Pine Avenue, the whole street belongs in Witness Protection), heaven help the left-turner, headed downtown. When the light greens, about eight cars get through, maybe nine, perhaps five of them legally.
Doug always leaves about 12 feet between his and the car ahead. Stuff happens in lines. Cars bump, people back up. The gap allows flexibility. This theory evaded the guy with the big SUV and the Florida plates last Thursday. He honked. He blasted. Smoke about came out of the roof. Second in line, Doug was almost up to the lead car as the light changed and all made it comfortably.
Even at that, Florida SUV would not be calmed. Turn signal wrongly flashing, he hounded Doug through four lights, veered out and passed him on a double solid and wheeled into the Sal Maglie Stadium lot first. He endangered life and limb to get to the ballpark four seconds sooner. Hope he enjoyed the game.
Next day, Doug approached the notorious Grand Island roundabout (aka, "The Circular Jungle") from the west while heading home. It's a tight little circle, no more than 100 weedy feet in diameter, with six approaches. Traffic within the circle has the right of way so the task for the new arrival is to figure out where anyone already in the circle is going, made the more difficult by vegetation worthy of the Amazon.
Here came a guy towing a boat, easing his way around, signal dormant. If he was heading toward Buffalo, he had the right of way, but instead he headed west, opening the gate for Doug. But long before his intentions were known, the ratty sedan behind Doug was blaring away, insisting he violate the vehicle code by intercepting the boat like a pirate.
Piloting Polly's craft, Doug did what he should never have done, started, slowed, and then crawled through the circle leaving the aggressor fuming. She later forgave him, but such agitation often ends badly.
Still, he had to wonder, not why everyone's in such a hurry, but what people think they can gain by such intemperance. A few seconds, maybe? Or are they right, it's time to cool his jets.

Alitalia flights will take you to Naples, the legendary capital of the Campania region, which, according to the myth of Partenope, was founded on the tomb of an enticing mermaid, where Castel dell'Ovo, the symbol of Naples, now stands.
The view of the bay, with Vesuvius in the background, gently sloping toward the Sorrento Coast, can be seen from the air, while on board one of Alitalia's flights to Naples.
Opposite the bustling port stands the Castel Nuovo, better known as the Maschio Angioino. The Galleria Umberto I and the San Carlo Theater are nearby, next to the Royal Palace of Capodimonte, which overlooks the beautiful Piazza Plebiscito.
The area between Piazza Garibaldi and Via Toledo is the oldest part of Naples and corresponds to the former Roman Neapolis.

CARRBORO — Jason Tudryn has taken a dive into the deep end of the pool by resigning as football head coach at Carrboro High School and taking a position at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as Director of High School Relations for the Tar Heels.
Tudryn was the head football coach at Carrboro from its inaugural season through last fall. From a winless start in 2007, he built a solid program that in 2012 went 15-1 and competed for the N.C. High School Athletics Associations 2A championship.
This feels like 2007 all over again, said Tudryn, sitting in his new office Tuesday at Kenan Stadium.
Tudryn, 41, said he opted to resign in mid-semester at Carrboro because he needed to get started as soon as possible at UNC.
It was a long process, but this needed to happen now, Tudryn said. The summer camp season is coming up soon, and I need to help the staff here get ready for that. Besides, I didnt want to be sitting around. I wanted to get in here and get up to my elbows in work.
Tudryn will help UNC head coach Larry Fedora fill the void left by the 2013 departure of longtime assistant coach Ken Browning, one of the most respected high school coaches in North Carolina before he moved up to the college ranks in Chapel Hill. In his 18 years at UNC as an assistant coach, Browning was widely regarded as the Tar Heels top ambassador to the states high schools and was given the title of Director of High School Relations by head coach John Bunting in February 2003.
Ive taken a dive into the deep end of the pool, Tudryn said. The situation is a little bit like Carrboro in that you can come here and make your own footprint.
Tudryn said he wanted to communicate something similar to high school coaches and players.
Its all about building relationships and getting high school coaches and their players to see what I see in this program, Tudryn said. I first got to know Coach Fedora when he arrived on campus, and I found out right away how down to earth he is. He and the staff work hard here to make sure this is a place where you can come and build memories.
Fedora was on the road Tuesday and was unavailable for comment.
A native of Massachusetts, Tudryn was a four-year letter winner at UMass (1992-95), where he played safety for the Minutemen. He coached at NCAA Division II Curry College in Milton, Mass., and Division III American International in Springfield, Mass., before heading to Naples, Fla., where he coached football and served as an exceptional education teacher at Gulf Coast High School.
Tudryn finished with an overall record of 43-44 at Carrboro.
He was hired at Carrboro in spring 2007 and fielded a team without juniors or seniors that fall, starting off 0-10. In 2009, with Carrboros first set of seniors, Tudryn guided the Jaguars to the their first playoff appearance and a 4-8 finish. His last five teams at Carrboro had a cumulative record of 42-21.
Carrboro High School anticipates naming a head coach by early June, Jaguars Athletics Director April Ross said..

Cutting, Embellishing, Fall, How-To-Projects, Ink, Patterned Paper, Patti Milazzo, Stamping,
Fiskars and Duck Tape are teaming up to make the world smarter and more colorful together.
It's so easy with the new Fiskars® Duck® Edition scissors!
To make these owls, I used some fairly basic shapes and layered these punches to make each owl unique.
1. To create the layout, I started with a few strips of pattern paper. I made sure to position the paper and photo so that there would be space for the branches and owls on the page.
2. The first owl is the simplest of the 4 owls. I used a 2 inch circle punch to cut out a small crescent from the top of the owlís body. The flowers and circles are layered to create the owls eyes. The leaves are tucked behind the body as wings.
3. This next owl is created with irregularly shaped squares and the wings are hearts that have been cut in half and layered. The head is an oval that has had a portion of the same oval punched from the top. The blue mask is made the in the same way and then a circle punch is used to cut away curves from the bottom. The head and mask are then layered. Small flower punches are used for the feet.
4. For the next owl, I used the scallop blade on my trimmer to cut across the circles. Smaller circles create the eyes along with layered flower punches. At the last minute I also added 2 leaf shaped punches behind the eyes.
5. The last owl is made using an upside down heart punch for the head. The feet are made using the Love Me, Love Me Not Squeeze Punch.
6. The layout title is made by stamping letters on pattern paper and then cutting out small rectangles.
7. I used the Everywhere Punch Window System to punch out the squares for the cover on my hidden journaling card. Using a regular square punch doesnít have the same reach as the Everywhere Punch. I like that I can make the borders of the windows wider with this new tool.

Item turned out great!
The apron is going to be a hit with our faculty and staff for their cooking experience. They look fantastic.
Loved the adjustable neck strap.
It was a very easy process. I had some questions about the artwork I supplied and Branders advised they had a program to clean it up and make it work... and it did. Very satisfied with the purchase and the product.
We were very happy with the quality of the material and the logo.
Adjustable neck strap! plus the color was just what we were looking for, and the aprons have a quality feel to them.
I liked the fact that I was made aware that the logo would not have looked nice in its current form and was advised to change the layout.
The embroidered aprons turned out great! My client loved them!
We were blessed to have Branders prepare out aprons. They were of outstanding quality all around. Thanks for your continued concern regarding our satisfaction.
Quality of material. Beautiful logo.
Product shrunk...
My department recently purchased a quantity of aprons from Branders.com and I was very pleased with the quality of service and product we received. Our logo was printed nice and clear across the front of the apron and the color and quality of the apron was just what we were looking for. I was also pleased with the price; in comparing aprons and quantities on other sites, I found the Branders.com price to be very reasonable. I also really appreciated the ability to view the product with our logo on it prior to placing the order; many other companies did not have that capability. Overall, my experience with Branders.com has been very good and I would definitely recommend them to others.
The embroidered logo came out great and the color and quality of the apron was great. It was just smaller than I expected. I thought it would be one of those big, industrial type aprons and it was on the small side.
My order arrived today! Was a little disappointed that the letters were smaller than the artwork I sent in from our previous one but they look good.
The product is fine. I was not satisfied with the customer service, we did not receive the colors we originally ordered. The two free samples you advertised was a difficult process in dealing with your representative.
The apron was not as nice a quality as I had hope for, I wanted something thicker in material quality. The service I recieved from your people was excellent!!!!

The Internet is the first place learners of all ages now go when wanting to learn about something. One challenge for many is that there is too much information on some web sites. A compounding factor can be the way a web page is laid out. Sidebars, headers and advertising can make it difficult for a learner to focus on what he or she is after. I've just discovered a Google Chrome extension that can help in a big way. It has potential to be an invaluable study or research tool.
CruxLight is a Google Chrome extension that summarizes content in web based articles and that can eliminate distracting clutter. When CruxLight is installed, it automatically summarizes web pages by highlighting the most important information in an article. The toolbar shown here appears at the bottom of web pages, and the slider can be adjusted to determine how much information the summary contains. Shown below the toolbar is a default summary.
By clicking on the 'Change Mode' button, a new page opens that contains only the summary, minus distracting clutter. This is illustrated below.
When CruxLight re-formats a page, the user may select a medium length summary or a de-cluttered version of the entire article. Helpfully, the summary or de-cluttered article may be shared, printed, or saved for reading later via Evernote or Pocket.

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection coming to the PS Vita this summer
Konami has revealed that they will be bringing the Metal Gear Solid HD collection to the PS Vita later this year.
The Vita edition will feature the fully remastered versions of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater although Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is notably absent.
Both games will include specially designed PS Vita control systems using touch, a rebalanced user interface and the ability to transfer game data between PS3 and PS Vita allowing players to switch play between the two consoles.
The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection will sneak on to the PS Vita this summer. We hope that Konami will also announce what's happening with Peace Walker at a later date although it is worth noting that it is not currently available to buy on PSN as a PSP title for the Vita either.

|Isadore, Isador, Isidora, Isadora, Isidoro, Isidro, Ysidro, Isidor
Isidore (/ˈɪzədɔːr/, sometimes spelled Isidor, Isadore, or Isador) is a male given name of Greek origin, derived from Ἰσίδωρος, Isídōros (a compound of Ἶσις, Ísis, and δῶρον, dōron: "gift of [the goddess] Isis").
The name survived the suppression of the worship of the Egyptian goddess Isis in the newly Christianized Roman Empire, and is, among others, the name of several Christian saints.
Similar "gift" names include the Greek "Theodore" ("gift of God"), the Persian "Mithradates" ("gift of Mithras") and Datis ("gift"), and the Hebrew "Matanya" ("gift of YHWH"). The Indo-European "gift" names are ultimately derived from the *PIE root *deh₃-, "to give".
Isadora or, more properly, Isidora is the equivalent female given name, the feminine form of Isídōros. The variant Isidora was the ninth most popular name for baby girls in Chile in 2006.[1]

The name Isidore was used for four tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean.
- 1984's Tropical Storm Isidore – A moderate Tropical Storm that made landfall near Andros Island, Bahamas and then crossed Central Florida, causing $750,000 worth in damage.
- 1990's Hurricane Isidore – A Category 2 Hurricane that formed at an extremely low latitude, and travelled generally north across the central Atlantic Ocean never making landfall.
- 1996's Hurricane Isidore – A Category 3 Major Hurricane which travelled north across the central Atlantic Ocean similar to 1990's Isidore, never making landfall.
- 2002's Hurricane Isidore – A Major Category 3 Hurricane that struck Western Cuba as a Category 1 storm, then stuck the Yucatán as a Category 3 storm, meandering over the Yucatán for 36 hours before heading north and striking Louisiana as a tropical storm.

JOPLIN, Mo. —
With empty lots, the remnants of foundations and the frames of houses in the infancy of their construction around them, members of Joplin Area Habitat for Humanity celebrated the completion of five new houses Tuesday afternoon.
Standing among the people on hand for the dedication ceremony for a home at 2411 S. Murphy Ave. were 21-year-old Dakota Wilson, the owner of the new home, and his mother, Michelle Wilson. They were next to a truck filled with the first load of furniture that they will move into their new home.
Tuesday marked a 20-month journey that landed Wilson in the newest Habitat for Humanity house. His residence at 20th Street and Connecticut Avenue was destroyed by the May 2011 tornado. Since then, the lifelong resident of Joplin has dealt with many people who were left without their homes since the tornado.
"This was a long process to get here since that day," Wilson said. "We've moved a lot since the tornado, and we had to deal with where we could live until now. It really puts things at ease to walk into a home that you now own. We're thankful and grateful that we are here now."
Scott Clayton, director of Joplin Area Habitat for Humanity, said Tuesday's celebration marked the opening of five new homes that are part of the Governor's Joplin Challenge.
"There are two time periods for us — before and after the tornado," Clayton said. "We were averaging three to four houses before the tornado, but with the outpouring of so many volunteers, we have managed to put up 52 new homes with 20 more under construction."
The Governor's Joplin Challenge was set up in 2012 by Gov. Jay Nixon to spur rebuilding efforts throughout the area. The original goal of the project was 35 homes throughout seven different neighborhoods in the destruction zone. Players, coaches and alumni from Missouri sports teams joined in the effort, including the St. Louis Blues, who volunteered last summer at Wilson's home.
"It's ironic that a team that plays hockey was here during the 106-degree work days," Clayton said. "But without their help, along with the other teams that volunteered, we wouldn't be as far along as we are today."
Abby Evers, who represented Nixon's office, commended the work that Habitat for Humanity has done in the area.
"We want to congratulate the new owners here today and the work that the Blues did here," Evers said. "It's amazing hearing the amount of homes that have been built and to see the new houses coming up. Habitat isn't just building homes, they are building neighborhoods."
For Wilson, the rebuilding is indicative of the perseverance of Joplin residents.
"I knew Joplin was strong, but I would have never thought it would come back this quick," he said. "That's the strength of the people here in the Midwest. That's Joplin strong."
Volunteer hours
AS PART OF THE AGREEMENT for the new owners, they are required to put in volunteer hours, or "sweat equity," at Habitat for Humanity projects. Ashli Robinson, a recipient of one of the new Habitat homes, said she put in the required 300 volunteer hours with her two children, Garren, 7, and Jadyn, 13.
"WE TOOK PRIDE in helping others, and it made us appreciate that much more the house that we are moving into," Robinson said. "We've become family with the other volunteers on these projects. This is something that we will keep volunteering for."

I had the standard battery for my drills and other 19.2 tools but these lithium last longer. Only thing I dont like is that when they are dead they are dead. No warning. Sometimes they quit when used constantly like they overheat?

Within the last year, I've purchased 3 of these batteries and 2 have failed shortly after first use. I waited too long to return the first one that failed). The one I just purchased on 5/5, is being returned to Sears today as it too has failed. When I buy a Craftsman product, I've grown accustomed to having very high quality, but this product has certainly let me down.

These batteries rock.. The old batteries run out of power quickly but not these. I had to cut down a small tree with my reciprocating saw and did it with power to spare. I would recommend this product.

Bought 1st battery and charger set back in september '13. That battery is still working so far. The 2nd Li-ion I bought in december '13; had probably charged and used it 4-5 times of the course of the last 5 months. Never overcharged, treated fairly well - I don't trash my tools - especially expensive ones. Had charged #2 battery overnight and had put in bag with drill containing #1 battery. Once #1 battery's charge had been exausted; slapped in #2 battery - only to have NOTHING happen. Darn thing was dead, even checked both batteries in another tool to verify that it wasn't the drill's fault. Luckily I was able to finish my project using a corded drill. Nicads don't just quit working like this, my original Nicads lasted for 5-6 YEARS even after I ran the heck out of them putting the house back together after Katrina; Li-ion just dies after 5 months for no good reason - sure seems suspicious to me. Just don't forget to write the purchase date on the battery and keep your receipts in case you need to return it to sears for a replacement. I'm going to order Nicad cells and rebuild an older Nicad pack - they seem to last longer.

The battery is always the costly add-on but if you wait for a sale you will get extra power at a reasonable price point. I finally have enough extras to do a ful days work with cords.

With the Sunflower State Games approaching, the 13 WIBW-TV dodge ball team has been working out. Hoping to avoid a poor representation of the station, the team's coaching staff has the team working on catching and dodging. That would be a good thing, although the squad could use some more practice. Watch the video to see what we're talking about.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- If you're looking for a quiet spot in Charlotte where you can be safe, you probably would not pick the Milton Road corridor.
"This area has been known, unfortunately, for violence, robberies. We've had shootings, we've had homicides," said Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Lieutenant Todd Garrett of the North Tryon Division.
Over the past couple of days, members of the Safe Streets Task Force, which includes police, FBI and ATF agents arrested 12 suspects on drug, robbery and weapons charges.
"Once we identified all these individuals and began looking at their backgrounds, looking at what they had previously been involved with what, they were currently involved with," said Garrett.
Those facing federal charges are 20-year-old Maurice Stuckey, 22-year-old Ronald Centeno, 21-year-old Arthur Thornton, 23-year-old Shaquan Howell and 28-year-old Deshawn Lewis.
In addition to that, police raided a home off Olinda Drive and made three more arrests--finding $12,000 in cash plus cocaine and marijuana.
Police are hoping this will keep Milton Road quiet for a while, and say they have their eye on other suspects who might be looking to step up.
If convicted of federal charges some of the suspects are looking at potential life sentences.

Large Format Printing for Posters
Thanks to a generous donation from Conemaugh Health System, we have funding available to defray the cost of large format printing for posters. In order to keep track of how many posters are being printed, and
to guarantee that all posters will be printed
, please follow the protocol below.
Student Poster presentations will be printed by Information Technology
Students MUST use one of the Pitt-Johnstown Information Technology poster templates:
Microsoft Publisher format
Microsoft Power Point format
Student will convert the completed poster into PDF format
Student will upload the poster into the SPACE Registration system in PDF format
Faculty mentor will review the poster and APPROVE the poster
The poster will be electronically submitted to Information Technology following faculty approval.
Students will pick up the printed poster at User Services, G27 Owen Library.
Poster Format - Hints & Tips
Be sure to follow the
Poster Guidelines
Poster dimensions -
The printer paper is 41 inches wide. Keeping the aspect ratio close to 2 x 3 gives two possibiliites:
41 inches high by 60 inches wide (landscape)
41 inches high by 28 inches wide (portrait)
Use graphics software
and one of the
Pitt-Johnstown Information Technology poster templates
. The software is vailalbe in the Pitt-Johnstown student computing labs
Microsoft Publisher format
Microsoft Power Point format
Use the "Rule of Thirds"
to aid in graphic design (see
Use your poster area effectively!
Do not leave large areas of empty white space.
Do not use large type to fill poster space if you lack content.
Relevant illustrations are effective ways to fill space and also convey information quickly.
Use only standard fonts.
For example a really cool font you may have on your personal computer may not be available on the lab machines (or on the machine from which your poster is printed). Font substitution can dramatically alter the appearance of your poster and you may not be happy with the end result. Note that User Services will not be responsible for problems resulting from non-standard fonts.
Minimum Resolution 150 ppi should be JPEG type and close to the final size needed on the poster.
Do not use jpg or bmp files that you "right-click" from a web page (these do not scale up well and are typically poor quality).
You cannot increase resolution, or detail, of files upward
. Zoom in to view the graphic on your poster to be sure it doesn't appear jagged because of low resolution.
To "scale" or resize a graphic element, select the graphic, hold the Shift or Contol key (depending on the application) while dragging by the corner boxes to enlarge or reduce the size of the graphic.
It is especially critical to the appearance of the graphic that you use the Control/Shift modification when re-sizing. This ensures that the graphic will be scaled proportionately instead of looking "stretched" or distored.
Store the completed file on a flash drive and name it as LastnameFirstname.xxx (makes it much easier for User Services to keep track of things).
For Poster Presentations
The Heritage Hall will be open starting at 8:30 AM on Wednesday, April 11. You may put your poster up any time after 8:30.
Posters must be up by 11:45 AM
The poster boards and push pins will be provided!
You must take your poster down by 4:15 PM!
Poster times are on the schedule.
Poster locations are on the map.
For Oral Presentations
Arrive in the room ten mniutes before the session begins.
Find the convener and introduce yourself.
Make sure the convener can pronounce your name and the title of your talk. This makes more sense than you might think. The convener is not necessarily in the same discipline as your presentation.
If you are using PowerPoint for your presentation, please follow these instructions:
Bring your presentation on a CD or flash drive (jump drive, memory stick, etc.).
Arrive a few minutes before your session begins.
Copy the presentation from the CD or jump drive to the desk top of the computer.
In PowerPoint, open the presentation that is stored on the desk top.

BY BRIAN McGILLIVARY
— Editor's note: Part of a series of stories about people, places and events that made news in the Grand Traverse region in 2012.
GREILICKVILLE — Plans to cleanse Leelanau County's most polluted site remain uncertain as company officials determine what to do with a former fuel depot.
Marathon Petroleum Corp. LP closed its marine terminal just north of Traverse City along M-22 in Elmwood Township in May, ending eight decades of operations. The Ohio-based company emptied the tanks and is in the process of cleaning them, but officials have not decided what the future holds for the 45 acres and dock on West Grand Traverse Bay.
"We're still in the process of evaluating future opportunities for that site ... and I really can't speculate what those may or may not be at this point," said Shane Pochard, Marathon spokesman.
Township and county brownfield redevelopment officials said no one has approached them about the property.
The marine terminal's high level of pollution and nearness to surface water makes it the county's most contaminated site, based on a Michigan Department of Environmental Quality list of such sites.
More than a dozen reported fuel spills occurred at the site since 1969, the last in 1996. None occurred under Marathon's ownership, but free-floating gasoline still turns up in some monitoring wells that surround the property. Officials with Marathon and the DEQ don't know if the gasoline comes from a slow leak in one of the property's 23 tanks, or an old spill.
John Vanderhoof, a DEQ environmental analyst, said the next round of groundwater sampling may indicate if emptying the tanks will eliminate the gasoline. But it likely will take a couple years to know for sure, he said.
Marathon pumps out and treats the groundwater to keep the contamination from entering the bay, and recent testing shows pollution has not spread.
"They did a lot of additional new well sampling this summer and almost all of those came out clean," Vanderhoof said. "So there isn't a larger problem than what was already known."
Marathon won't make any decisions about removing the tanks or further cleanup efforts until after it decides what to do with the property, Pochard said. He offered no time line for a decision other than to say efforts are ongoing.
The closing also impacted how area fuel retailers operate because the depot used to supply much of the region's fuel.
But many gas stations already used downstate facilities supplied by pipelines, including a Marathon-owned depot in Muskegon.
"It was always cheaper to pick up product in Muskegon, but we had to look ... to see if the price difference would cover our freight," said Bill McCarthy, a vice president with Blarney Castle Oil Co.
Blarney Castle constructed its own storage facility to supply the small tankers it uses to deliver fuel to farms, marinas, and other commercial operations. It built a fleet station on Cass Road in Garfield Township after neighbors objected to bulk storage at a Blair Township site.

Although the Presidential Election is settled and the California proposition results are clear, a large number of outstanding ballots in Santa Cruz County has many local races too early or too close to call.
According to Santa Cruz County Clerk Gail Pellerin, there are "more than 30,000 unprocessed ballots left to be counted." A total of 82,271 have already been counted, but if 30,000 is a conservative estimate, then just 73 percent of the Santa Cruz County vote has been tallied thus far.
VotesCount.com is reporting that there are 158,641 registered voters in Santa Cruz County. That number is up by almost 12,000 registered voters since the June election. In 2008, voter registration in the county spiked by over 8,500 between June and November.
The 82,271 votes already counted add up to 51.86 percent of all registered voters in the county. Pellerin's estimate of at least 30,000 uncounted ballots puts the total number of ballots cast at a minimum of 112,271, which would be 70.7 percent of all registered voters. That number looks good compared to the June election, when just 39.83 percent of registered voters cast a ballot. However, it is still far below the voter turnout numbers for the last three Presidential Elections in Santa Cruz County.
In November 2008, 86.65 percent of local registered voters filled out a ballot. In November 2004, it was 83.19 percent and in November 2000, it was 75.24 percent. With a record number of registered voters in Santa Cruz County this year, it would be a surprise if the final tally didn't resemble something closer to the 2008 turnout. And remember, Pellerin said "more than 30,000 uncounted ballots." The actual number of ballots that have not yet been counted could be much higher than that.
In order to break the Santa Cruz County voter turnout record set in the 2008 election, there would need to be 137,478 ballots cast this year, meaning there would still need to be 55,207 oustanding ballots.
The ballots that have not yet been counted include some mail-in ballots, provisional ballots, damaged ballots, military ballots and overseas ballots.
The county will provide a more accurate count of the outstanding ballots on Nov. 9, and will have all votes accounted for by Dec. 4 at 5 p.m.
