Comments about Incredibell Bellini Bell:
Very well made brass bell is clear and loud enough for urban and trail use. Spring loaded hammer is simple and effective.
Best Uses
Comments about Incredibell Bellini Bell:
Yes, a bell can be construed as dorky, but for commuting in the city, it is essential.
This bell provides a nice even "ding" that resonates for a while after the initial strike.
It's light, cheap and can help you avoid collisions.
What's not to like?

Comments about Incredibell Bellini Bell:
I bought this bell primarily because it was small and unobtrusive on my handlebars. Hikers definately hear the bell, but the sound is shrill and unpleasant. I've crashed a few times and it hasnt broken yet.

Comments about Blank Male Mask:
When I got this mask my mom thought it was really creepy. I like it because it breathes well and is unique. I really recommend this mask.
Comments about Blank Male Mask:
This is a plain white male mask... no more no less. If this is what you want, this is what you get.
Comments about Blank Male Mask:
This is a fantastic mask!I needed a mask for my Death Eater costume and the one that would come with the costume, according to reviews, was very deformed. I went into the store and bought this. It fits almost perfectly, though it is designed for a slightly bigger head. (That, and I'm a female) It gets random black marks on it, but I'll be decorating it. I reccomend buying it in stores rather than online so that it doesn't come marked up and you can try it on first.

Comments about Blank Male Mask:
I used this mask to make joker from dark knight. It is good for those who want to make there own mask. It didn't quite fit my face but I have a bit bigger head, so I gave it 4/5.

Organizers pumped for 'Walk a Mile in Her Shoes' in Keene
Keene State College students and Monadnock Center for Violence Prevention is hosting a "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" march this Saturday to help end sexual violence. (Courtesy)
For the seventh year in a row, Keene State College is partnering with the Monadnock Center for Violence Prevention to host "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes." The event starts with check-in at 9 a.m. with kickoff at 10 a.m.
The walk begins and ends at Lloyd P. Young Student Center at Keene State College.
Most men do not commit acts of sexual violence against women, Seymour said Tuesday, but when sexual violence occurs or is about to occur very often there are "bystanders" who may hear or see something before, during or after an assault.
The Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event aims to raise awareness about sexual violence against women by teaching both men and women how to be "empowered bystanders."
"The key in this prevention model is helping people recognize that something is happening and intervening in a safe way," Seymour said.
Walk a Mile is really designed to draw men in, though."
In terms of getting men to buy into the idea that number one sexual violence is really a problem and two they really have a role in ending it by calling other men on their behavior," Seymour said.
"We do invite men to wear women's shoes to the march and many do. And that's a symbolic gesture for the men to express empathy" for women who everyday face the threat of violence.
The event also raises money for the Monadnock Center for Violence Prevention, a Keene-based crisis agency that provides a variety of anonymous and confidential support options for people in the Monadnock region who are experiencing sexual violence.
Last year's walk raised more than $20,000 and attracted 500 participants. Seymour said they are hoping for 500 participants again this year.
Anyone can walk - men, women and children. Men are encouraged, but not required to wear women's shoes. This event is free and participants are encouraged to register at www.KSCWalkaMile.com. You don't have to donate or raise money to participate, Seymour said. More information about the Monadnock Center for Violence Prevention can be found online at www.mcvprevention.org.
Walk a Mile in Her Shoes is an international movement started in 2001 to stop rape, sexual assault and gender violence, according to its website.

Student Discipline Records
Student files are confidential and the confidentiality is governed by strict federal law (Family Education Rights and Privacy Act or FERPA [PDF]). The Office of Student Conduct & Ethical Development cannot release a student's discipline information to anyone without the student's permission (Wavier of Confidentiality [PDF]). The CSU student disciplinary process requires that alleged victims of sexual assault or physical abuse be notified of any disciplinary action taken.
Record of Discipline
Probation is entered on a student's transcript, with its beginning and end date, for the period of time that the probation is in effect. Suspension is entered on the student's transcript, with its beginning and end date, for the period of time that the suspension is in effect, but remains on the transcript permanently if the suspension is for longer than one academic year. Expulsion is entered on the student's transcript permanently along with the date it takes effect.
The University is federally mandated to keep the records for seven years.
Student's Conduct File
Disciplinary records maintained by the Office of Student Conduct are retained for seven years from the date of the most recent incident in the student's file. The student file is expunged after seven years. Records of students who were suspended or expelled from the university are retained permanently.
A hold on a student's records occurs when a student has failed to make an appointment by their allotted time, has failed to keep their appointment, or has failed to comply with their sanctions. The hold will be lifted once the student has complied with the directives from the Office of Student Conduct & Ethical Development.
Obtaining a Copy of Your File
The Office of Student Conduct & Ethical Development does not give copies of student discipline files. Student can view their file by scheduling an appointment to do so.

Shamokin football fans will get to meet their new head coach on Monday when the school board meets to hire former Penn State defensive back an Halifax head coach Yaacov Yisrael.
Accordng to school board member Bob Getchey, who chairs the committee which interviwed the candidates to replace Dan Foor (who resigned after the season), Monday's meeting, set for 7:30 p.m., will be for the sole purpose of hiring the new coach. After the meeting, the board will hold a "meet the coach" program and Yisrael will be available to meet players, parents and fans and answer questions.
Yisrael was the head coach at Halifax the past two seasons as the Wildcats went 4-6 both years. He has also been an assistant coach in the area, including Shikellamy. He is married to former Line Mountain and Penn State field hockey standout Jill Martz-Yisrael, the current Line Mountain field hockey head coach.
Despite the sub-.500 record at Halifax, several Valley coaches praised the teams for playing hard and not ever giving up.
The board apparently will choose Yisrael over former North Schuylkill coach Rick Geist and six other applicants. Shamokin defensive coordinator Mike Gurski was also one of the candidates, but recently withdrew his name from consideration.
Under Foor, the Indians won a District 4 Class AAA championship in 2011, despite going into the playoffs with a 4-6 record, and won a first-round PIAA playoff game. Foor's teams were 16-30 in four seasons, with two district and the one state playoff appearance.

Some Inauguration Visitors Feel Misled
Students say they expected more for their money.
Not all Inauguration visitors have been happy with their treatment here.
Caitlin Armstrong, an 18-year-old sophomore at Auburn University, came to Washington, DC expecting to see President Obama and Beyonce, one of the scheduled performers. She had received a letter earlier this year congratulating her on being "accepted to be among the thousands of students" to "witness first-hand the Inauguration of the 44th President of the United States."
The letter left her with the impression that she would have tickets to the Inauguration and be invited to one of the official Inaugural Balls. The event's website specified that the schedule included the official swearing-in ceremony.
For the privilege of attending, she paid a couple thousand dollars to travel from Alabama and stay for four nights in the Marriot Wardman Park hotel in Northwest Washington.
But when she arrived, she was disappointed to discover that she had no special tickets and would have to navigate the National Mall along with the 2 million other visitors. As for the ball, tonight she will be attending one along with thousands of other college students, but since it's not one of the official ones, there will be no Beyonce, nor Obama.
While the organizers did arrange for her and her fellow students to attend lectures by former Vice President Al Gore and Luke Russert, she feels misled by false advertising. "I told everyone I would be going to the inauguration and the inaugural ball," she says. (Phone calls and E-mails to the organizers, the Congressional Youth Leadership Council, have not yet been returned.)
As of last night, students in the lobby of the Marriot Wardman Park hotel were organizing a petition to complain about their treatment.

Prologo Scratch Pro Nack CPC Saddle $285.00
Support where you need it.
The Prologo Scratch Pro Nack Saddle combines the race-ready silhouette of the Nago Evo with a profile of an endurance saddle. It's especially well-designed for riders who spend the majority of the time in the saddle, even while climbing.
The Scratch Pro Nack has a variable stiffness frame made of injected carbon. Varying the stiffness allows the frame to flex in the middle, which leads to better shock absorption and less rider fatigue. The multi-density foam used on top of the frame follows the same principles. A softer padding lines the midsection, while a firmer padding is placed across the paddle (the widest portion), where you sit. Firmer padding not only supports the sit bones, but it also reduces "bouncing," which robs power transfer to the pedals. The saddle is set upon Nack rails. These are carbon fiber woven with Kevlar, and they are interspersed with aluminum particles for added durability.
The round profile of the Scratch Pro Nack is one version of the three profiles Prologo manufactures. The rounded design provides even contact with the saddle across the sit bones, thereby minimizing hotspots. In conjunction with the round shape, the Easy Stroke Design (ESD) transitions the widest part of the saddle into deep leg cutouts. This exaggerated silhouette reduces friction points along the inner thighs and helps transfer power more efficiently to the pedals. This endurance saddle was finished off with a tough microfiber cover that resists scratches and abrasion.
Prologo's Scratch Pro Nack Saddle is 134mm wide, and it comes in the colors Hard Black and White/black.

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have been riding on ProLogo Saddles for the last 3 years. I recently purchased a new high end carbon fiber bike and outfitted it with this new saddle from Prologo. It was really incredible. You absolutely are solidly anchored (no movement) onto the saddle thereby increasing your overall ability to apply all the power in your legs down to your pedals. By eliminating movement around your seat, this saddle has the real potential to also prevent certain medical conditions due to various forces and pressures being applied as your riding. If you want more stability and more power being directed in the right places consider trying the Prologo Scratch Pro Nack CPC Saddle

Theme of workshop:
Despite the long history of turbulence research, there still remain many fundamental unanswered questions. Many of these relate to Inertial-Range Dynamics and Mixing in turbulence. The proposed 5-day workshop will focus on the near-universal physics of such phenomena as observed in certain canonical turbulent flows at high Reynolds number. It will bring together researchers in the communities of theory, modelling, numerical simulations, laboratory experiments and field-observations, to discuss and exchange new ideas on various themes, including:
- Intermittency, Scaling and Universality
- Turbulent Diffusion (single- and two-particle) and Mixing
- Lagrangian Dynamics and Statistics
- Coarse Graining - Modelling
- Reynolds Number and Scale Dependence
- Anisotropy, Inhomogeneity and Nonstationarity
- Superfluid Turbulence, MHD, 2-D Turbulence
- Vortex Dynamics and Structure
Tentative list of speakers includes:
Roberto Benzi (Rome), Luca Biferale (Rome), Eberhard Bodenschatz (Goettingen), Claude Cambon (Lyon), Hudong Chen (Boston), Peter Davidson (Cambridge), Charles Doering (Ann Arbor), Andrzej Domaradzki (Los Angeles), Gregory Eyink (Baltimore), Gregory Falkovich (Rehovot), Marie Farge (Paris), Toshiyuki Gotoh (Nagoya), Takashi Ishihara (Nagoya), Javier Jimenez (Madrid), Robert Kerr (Warwick), Susan Kurien (Los Alamos), Anthony Leonard (Pasadena), Erik Lindborg (Stockholm), Detlef Lohse (Twente), Thomas Lundgren (Minneapolis), David McComb (Edinburgh), Sergey Nazarenko (Warwick), Martin Oberlack (Darmstadt), Rahul Pandit (Bangalore), Joachim Peinke (Oldenburg), Jean-François Pinton (Lyon), Annick Pouquet (Boulder), Alain Pumir (Nice), Brian Sawford (Clayton), Joerg Schumacher (Ilmenau), Katepalli Sreenivasan (Trieste), Federico Toschi (IAC-CNR), Makoto Tsubota (Osaka), Yoshiyuki Tsuji (Nagoya), Christos Vassilicos (London), Zellman Warhaft (Ithaca), Pui-Kuen Yeung (Atlanta) and David Youngs (Berkshire).

Officials from the Harford County business community and area universities were on hand last week to kick off a feasibility study for a potential university research park at Aberdeen Proving Ground.
A potential facility would bring doctorate-level educational research closer to Aberdeen Proving Ground.
Click here for a final report on the potential of a project at Aberdeen Proving Ground.
A final report on the feasibility study is due back in August, following a draft report presentation in June.
"We need a lot of help between now and June," said Batelle Vice President & Managing Director Mitch Horowitz at a Jan. 11 presentation at Bulle Rock.
The project would take advantage of the growing industry on Aberdeen Proving Ground, as well as what is perceived to be a void in higher education in the surrounding community.
Horowitz said research indicated there were 42 four-year graduate programs located within 90 minutes of Aberdeen Proving Ground.
"I don't think any of those are closer than 30 minutes," he added.
Horowitz noted that those institutions conduct approximately $4.8 billion worth of research and development—representing roughly eight percent in the industry nationwide.
The study will indicate how to advance the project, including the structure, funding and potential locations.

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
Something has to give tonight.
When South Laurel travels to take on Lincoln County, it will be a battle between the final two teams in the district without a district win. Both enter the game at 0-2 and riding losing streaks. The Cardinals have dropped five in a row, including last week's heartbreaking 42-41 setback in overtime against Southwestern. The Patriots have lost three in a row, with last week's 47-19 loss to Madison Southern being the latest defeat.
Both remain alive in the playoff hunt, but a loss by either team, while not eliminating them from any post season play, would certainly make it harder to advance. The Cards still have Pulaski County and Madison Southern to face, while Lincoln has to battle North Laurel and Southwestern. The Maroons and Eagles face each other tonight with the winner being the only unbeaten district team.
While the Cards lost last week, coach Larry Welch did like the fact that his team was able to move the ball and score against the Warriors, something he hopes continues tonight at Death Valley.
"We need a carry over on what we have practiced and our offense needs to continue with effective drives like last week," Welch said.
Like most of the teams South Laurel have faced this season, the Patriots like to run the football.
"They run from a three back set to one, so they use different formations," Welch said. "And they have an offensive line that are good blockers, and the backs block well for each other."
Logan Martin, Marvin Robinson, Deonte Coulter and quarterback Justin Hubble are all capable runners. Coulter can also catch the ball when the Patriots throw it, and is a danger on kickoff returns, as evident of his 81-yard return for a touchdown last week against Madison Southern.
The Cards continue to be banged up and will be without the services of Seth Stewart (broken foot), David Byrd (shoulder), Cameron Shepherd (separated shoulder) and Zach Allen, who suffered a grade three concussion and whiplash in last week's game against Southwestern. Austin Rader is still out with a torn PCL.
Both teams have a tendency to give up the big play, something Welch said his team needs to avoid this week.
"On defense we have to limit the big play and do a good job tackling," Welch said. "In all the tapes I've seen on Lincoln they have been in all their games they just gave up some big plays in the one's they lost." Welch noted that their defense is very aggressive and plays physical.
After the stunning OT loss to Southwestern last week, several South Laurel players were visibly upset. Welch noted that, to play so hard and come up short on the last play, was tough on his team.
"This week we have practiced hard and looked at some of the positive points, like how well we moved the ball at times last week," Welch said.
Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. tonight in Stanford.

The Missouri Senate has unanimously passed legislation to move the filing period for the state's party primaries back by one month. The bill is moving rapidly because the filing period is currently set to begin February 28th and end in late March.
The Missouri House has passed legislation that would require voters to show photo identification at the polls.
The Thursday vote split exactly along party lines.
Democrats hammered away at Republicans' arguments that the bill would combat voter fraud, saying there hasn't been a documented case of voter fraud in decades – and that the bill does nothing to deal with voter registration fraud. GOP House Member Todd Richardson of Poplar Bluff disagreed.
Although Tuesday's presidential primary amounts to only a public opinion poll, it was not front runner Mitt Romney who took the Missouri, but Rick Santorum.
Former St. Charles County executive Joe Ortwerth heads the Missouri branch of Focus on the Family, a conservative activist group.
He says Missouri is known as a state that likes to send strong messages.
"And today, the Show-Me State declared that the Midwest and the people of the Midwest, are looking for a candidate with genuine conservative credentials, and Rick Santorum is that man," Ortwerth said.
Rick Santorum trounced Mitt Romney yesterday in Missouri's "beauty contest" presidential primary. The state's delegates won't be chosen until caucuses on March 17, but the vote added to Santorum's momentum as he also swept Minnesota and Colorado. In this week's Health & Wealth update, how conservative opposition to Obama's Affordable Care Act may have helped Santorum in the Show-Me State.
Missouri voters gave Rick Santorum a symbolic victory tonight. The former senator handily beat Mitt Romney, winning in every county, with 52 percent of the total vote, compared to Romney's 25 percent.
Missouri is by all accounts a "red state" but it's plain to see that one or two colors can't tell the whole story. How can one color, one category, make sense of the diversity of communities we see around us every day? The folks at Patchwork Nation and the public radio station WNYC think they have a better way: they look at voters in each county and then slice up the numbers 12 different ways. Some counties are what might be called, the "Monied 'Burbs." Others are "Tractor Countries" or "Mormon Outposts." 12 demographics, 12 sets of values, opinions and personalities.
Polling places are quiet today as voters trickle in for Missouri's non-binding presidential primary. As KBIA's Jacob Fenston reports, the election will cost taxpayers an estimated 7 million dollars, despite having no direct effect in choosing the Republican nominee.
Missouri lawmakers are trying again to require voters to show photo identification at the polls.
House members Tuesday gave first-round approval to the photo-ID requirement by a 104-54 vote. The measure needs another vote before moving to the Senate.
Missouri's presidential primary is today, but one of the leading GOP candidates is not on the ballot.
Only a few more days until the Missouri presidential primary, but this year many voters will likely stay home.
Regional news coverage from the KBIA news room, including:
St. Louis attorney Ed Martin is dropping his congressional campaign to instead seek the Republican nomination for attorney general.
Boone County is collaborating with MU and the Secretary of State to develop new voting system technologies for military and overseas voters.

Earlier Californias, though, are an outstanding, economical entry into the world of Guzzisti. The California cruisers are all powered by Guzzi's iconic air-cooled, two-valve, longitudinal, 90-degree V-twin-a powerplant as bulletproof as Silvio Berlusconi's limo. From '74 on, they utilize the same frame Lino Tonti designed for the 850 Le Mans superbike, so out-handle most competitors. Throwing sparks from a California's floorboards in the twisties is frighteningly fun. Guzzi guru Mark Etheridge of Moto Guzzi Classics in Long Beach believes the early Californias are best. He advises to watch for loose universal joints on high-mileage examples; replacements cost around $300 and a failure can lock the rear wheel. The Digiplex ignition box from the early-'90s models is unreliable and unobtanium. Mark says to check the valves every 5000 miles, too. Despite dated looks, an '82 California II provides loads of Guzzi grunt for just north of $2000. Well-kept examples run for hundreds of thousands of miles and feature easily tuned points ignition and carburetors. For a few Franklins more, a committed highway hooligan might consider a California III Tourer with hard luggage and a fairing as broad as Grandma Giuseppe's girdle. For around $4000, a '94 1100 accessorized with hard bags and a windshield will eat up miles like Pavarotti inhaled plates of polenta. Typical Guzzi blue book values are somewhat inaccurate, so do real-world price comparisons before you buy. Sourcing Guzzi parts can be like negotiating with the mafia. Suppliers are few, but well connected. MG Cycle in Wisconsin and MPH Cycles in Houston both carry gaskets, filters, OE sundries and performance parts. Locating some arcane components may require an E-mail to parts supplier Duilio Agostini, located a scant few hundred feet from the Guzzi factory in Mandello del Lario, Italy. For almost four decades, the California series has provided Europhiles with reliable mounts for rumbling along the world's backroads. The early Californias are an exceptional value for anyone who wants to go Guzzi Cheers Prodigious torque, sweet handling, respectable cornering clearance for a cruiser. Jeers Shaft effect, iffy parts supply, insufficient time to attend all the Guzzi Rallies. Watch For Hydraulic lifter and single-plate clutch issues, loose U-joints, high mileage. Verdict A Euro-style cruiser with a racer's soul. Value 1982 | $3350 1994 | $2730 2002 | $4985 ALSO SMART Ducati Indiana 1987 | $1500 The Diavel isn't Ducati's first cruiser.

Sign Up Now: High Line Fujifilm Kids' Camera Project
Many people associate the High Line District with the upscale shops, restaurants, and other businesses that receive so much attention in the press. But there's another side to the neighborhood – the people, places, and things only known by people who spend a lot of time in the neighborhood.
That's why Friends of the High Line has partnered with
to give one-time-use cameras to kids who live and play in the High Line neighborhoods of the West Village and Chelsea.
The goal is for kids to take pictures of things around them they see as important or interesting—things that they love. Working with Fujifilm, Friends of the High Line will showcase these images, letting all New Yorkers see the High Line District through the eyes of the children who know it best. FHL plans to include one photo from each child in an online gallery. In addition, a selection of photos will be exhibited the concourse gallery of Chelsea Market. Open to kids 11 years old and younger.
Participation in this program is free, but we have a limited number of cameras, so register now. The registration deadline is July 21.
For more information or to register your child, contact Meredith Taylor at
or (212) 206-9922.

"This park shows the amazing things that can be created by the talented, hardworking people of the Borough of Manhattan. We lead the country in many creative fields so it's only appropriate that we should tap two world-renowned landscape and architecture firms, Field Operations and Diller Scofidio + Renfro, both of whom are based in Manhattan, to create a park design that epitomizes the visionary thinking of this City."

Defenders in the balance as Exiles to sign Byron Anthony (From South Wales Argus)

Defenders in the balance as Exiles to sign Byron Anthony
11:20am Monday 12th November 2012 in Sport
NEWPORT County boss Justin Edinburgh admits it's time to shake things up at the back as the Exiles' defensive woes continued at Alfreton.
Though the Conference table-toppers can make a claim to being the most entertaining and unpredictable side in the country at the moment – 30 goals in their last five games, 15 for, 15 against – Edinburgh was rightly angry as his side slipped to a 4-3 reverse at the Impact Arena.
The boss has made clear his desire to sign Byron Anthony this week and has admitted his defensive players are all under particular scrutiny following the damaging defeat.
"Our defending wasn't good enough, it hasn't been for weeks," he said.
"We've conceded two very sloppy goals and the way we started the game made it very difficult for us.
"We are making individual errors, I can't coach individual errors, but of course we'll work hard on the training pitch, but we might have to start looking at changing the personnel.
"I don't mean with new players, we've got good players at the club who can change the team and it's something I am certainly considering. On Friday we weren't disciplined enough in our own box and we weren't clinical enough in Alfreton's."
On the signing of ex-Bristol Rovers man Anthony, a Newport boy, Edinburgh was positive.
"Byron is a good player, he's trained with us, impressed me and we'll sit down and talk with him this week and hope to have him in place for Hyde on Saturday," he told the Argus.
However, as much as he was aggrieved by his players, Edinburgh was also angry with the officiating, believing Alfreton's opener to be offside and their penalty for the third goal wrongly allowed for a foul outside the area. "The decisions are major and have influenced the outcome of the game, that can't be disputed," he said.

Election Day 2012 is here. I've been waiting for this day since Election Day 2008. I believed then the election of Barack Obama was a well-intentioned mistake. I never imagined how painful the ensuing four years would be:
- It was painful to hear the President criticize our country while on foreign soil.
- It was painful when the President lifted the Mexico City policy and allowed American taxpayer funds to be used to subsidize abortions in other countries.
- It was painful when the Attorney General wanted to treat a 9/11 mastermind as an ordinary criminal, hoping to try him in criminal court in New York City instead of in a military tribunal as an enemy combatant.
- It was painful to see our national security undermined because intelligence gathering via interrogation of captured terrorists is no longer valued. (Waterboarding is torture, but dropping a bomb on a terrorist isn't.)
- It was painful to observe the rudeness with which our ally, Israel, was treated.
- It was painful to watch our government encourage so-called "democratic movements" in the Middle East when the involvement of radical Islamists was apparent.
- It was painful to see so many millions of people lose their jobs and then not be able to find new ones for a very long time – if at all.
- It was painful to watch one in six Americans slip into poverty.
- It was painful when, against the will of the majority of the people, the government used procedural techniques and earmark-bribes to eke out just enough Democrat-only votes to pass ObamaCare.
- It was painful to see our President deliberately stress differences among groups. He said he'd be a uniter, but I've never seen a President split Americans apart from each other as intentionally as this one.
- It was painful to watch the massive growth, via irresponsible spending and borrowing, of intrusive government, forcing the private sector to shrink in response.
- It was painful to watch government regulators thwart the development of America's natural energy resources.
- It was painful to note the European-style emphasis on redistribution of wealth, along with the demonization of capitalism.
I could definitely go on, but I'll stop at a baker's dozen.
This is why Election Day 2012 is such a momentous day for the American people. Finally, after four painful years, the day has arrived on which we can exercise our power: the power of our votes.
We can choose to reward the President with another four painful (for us) years.
Or we can join together to reject the direction of the past four years. We can choose to begin to restore a more prosperous, more secure and freer America.
The United States can still be the flourishing mecca of opportunity and happiness that it was for our parents and grandparents. Many of them came here precisely because America's freedoms and resources made it, uniquely, a place where individuals could work to achieve their dreams.
Instead of the stagnant, impoverished, dependent, antagonized nation we're becoming, let's bring back that "melting pot" where anyone can realize the American dream.
A Romney-Ryan administration will work with us and for us to help make this happen.
As for this President? In my view, we can only count on more pain.

I'm an entrepreneur sharing ideas and research to grow your business
This morning I got up a little early to set up my new Macbook Pro 15 inch notebook computer with Retina Display. I also bought the portable USB SuperDrive because the Macbook no longer comes with a DVD or CD player, to make things lighter, or people use thumb drives more I guess.
As I was unwrapping it I noticed something absolutely amazing…
The shrink-wrap was perfect.
I was so amazed I took two pictures with my iPhone 5. It seemed a shame to open it.
The clear plastic seam was exactly even around the center of the box. And so was the shrink wrap on the USB SuperDrive box; even the shrink wrap on the box of an accessory is perfect. There weren't any shrink-wrap wrinkles either on the corners of the box where some lazy employee didn't bother taking the time with a hot air gun to shrink them out.
I always use those little wrinkles at the corner of the package to grab so I can rip the shrink wrap off of a box. There weren't any. How do I even open it? Every other company on the planet has wrinkles.
Steve Jobs cared. And now Apple employees deeply care. Or probably, Apple has automated the process so it is perfect every time…
Every time.
Do you know how hard that is to do? I do. And why in the world would somebody be so anal-retentive that even the shrink wrap around the box was impressively perfect?
Because maybe it matters.
It mattered to Steve Jobs, it matters to Apple. They are the number one valued company in the world. Are these little tiny details related to their value in the marketplace?
I think so.
I remember I was the Marketing Director at Infobases, Inc., an electronic publishing company that was originally started by Paul Allen and Dan Taggart. We sold one of the first scriptures on computer software packages. We eventually tripled sales. Paul is now my friend who later helped found Ancestry.com Ancestry.com, MyFamily.com, and Family Link. I just spoke with him the other day.
Back then I was in charge of the marketing strategy and the look and feel of the products, the packaging, the overall experience. Most of my other jobs have been in sales, but that time in marketing was incredibly valuable.
I remember one day I noticed that the manager of the packaging team was shrink-wrapping a pallet of software packages. He had this shrink-wrap sealing machine that would seal three edges around a box with heat. It was always uneven. But if you took a little extra time with the heat gun you could shrink the plastic with just the right tension so the seam would stay even in the center of the box.
He didn't.
He shrunk that plastic as fast as he could. There were even black char marks occasionally where he melted a big lump in the corner. So what. It was just shrink-wrap.
He wanted to get finished. He didn't care. It drove me nuts. It looked terrible. We had gone to incredible effort, hired a great designer by the name of Mark Meservy to carefully design wonderful packaging, and the shrink-wrap made us look like we didn't give a darn.
He thought I was crazy when I asked him to redo them.
Sounds irrelevant to me but if that is important to you, go with it. I guess you can spend a lot of money on shrink wrapping technology when you charge so much for your phones.
Is perfectly-applied shrink-wrap worth a 50% to 150% price premium versus competing computers that have the same (or better) usability and components, but ship in a boring brown box?
97% of worldwide computer users say "no."
Great article, good read. I agree with you, I think the details matter a lot. It's all part of the user experience. If it catches your eye (and it did) and stops you in your tracks you will remember that.
On the DVD drive comment I think that Apple has always been so focused on making the perfect product. It's not possible, people are different and like different things. Some do everything online and some don't. I think Apple should offer a model with the drive and one without. Let the consumer choose what they need/like don't make that choice for them. Apple is a strong company but I personally feel this has always been their biggest strength and weakness. Great article though! Thanks!
I've never paid attention to it. I'll definitely check it out once I buy another apple product in the future. Thanks Ken! Great article. Such an observant.
Your assessment seems sort of bias due to your idolization of Steve Jobs. Judging by your need to state that every you have is Apple, new iphone 5, macbook pro etc. You might need to step back and make a better assessment of the product and not treat Steve Jobs as your "god"

Thanks for this amazing post. Makes me want to go to NYC immediately, though at the moment the Met seems almost as far away as Kabul. I can't take my eyes off that first picture of the gold crown. Collapsible?! For out-of-town formal wear, maybe?
An online journal about visual art, the urban landscape and design. Mary Louise Schumacher, the Journal Sentinel's art and architecture critic, leads the discussion and a community of writers contribute to the dialogue.
Hidden treasures from Kabul, Afghanistan, at the Met
When a country's cultural heritage is stolen and destroyed, it's more than the loss of beautiful objects, it's also the loss of identity and national pride. Think if America's treasures were suddenly gone – no Statue of Liberty, no Gilbert Stuart painting of George Washington, no Frederic Remington sculpture. When the Taliban dynamited the Buddhas carved into the side of a cliff in Afghanistan's Bamyan Valley in 2001, Afghans lost a cultural icon that had stood sentinel since the 6th century A.D.
So when Afghan officials opened a secret vault several years ago in the capital of Kabul and looked into crates containing more than 20,000 pieces of Bactrian gold excavated shortly before the 1979 Russian invasion, there was a sense of relief and pride. Relief that the Taliban had not found it and melted it down to sell for weapons as well as pride that a significant and beautiful part of the embattled country's cultural heritage had survived.
"Afghanistan: Hidden Treasures from the National Museum, Kabul" opened at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in June. When it closes Sept. 20, the exhibit, which has also stopped in Washington, D.C., Houston and San Francisco, will leave the United States.
The exhibit reflects Afghanistan's pivotal role as the crossroad of major trading routes which collectively has been called the Silk Road. There was no single road but numerous pathways that crossed over the mountains and across the plains linking Greece and then Rome with India and Asia and the artifacts reflect the interaction of cultures. Because of the great distances on the Silk Road, objects necessarily were small and valuable.
The gold artifacts unearthed at burial chambers of nomads dating from 1st century A.D. in Tillya Tepe are stunning – a collapsible gold crown, a dagger handle and sheath, buckles, earrings, rings and tiny appliqués which were found laid out on the bodies. Drawings near each exhibit show what the person was likely wearing at the time of burial.
There are also artifacts like stone columns and a sun dial discovered at the ancient city of Ai Khanum, founded as a Greek colony after Alexander the Great conquered Bactria; delicately carved ivories designed to decorate furniture from the city of Begram; and Roman drinking glasses still featuring brightly painted scenes of women harvesting figs.
Perhaps it's telling that what's called the Bactrian Hoard will not be immediately displayed in Afghanistan after the show closes at the Met. Authorities there say they're building a new secure museum for the gold but given the violence and upheaval in Kabul, I doubt Afghans will be able to see their country's treasures for awhile. I hope Afghanistan will some day soon be a place where delicate treasures like a princess' folding gold crown, golden shoe buckles adorned with turquoise, a glass flask in the shape of a fish and antelope-shaped gold bracelets can be seen by anyone.
(Note from Mary Louise: Many of you know my colleague Meg Jones for her coverage of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. What is perhaps less known about Meg is the fact that she is an intrepid traveler who seeks out art experiences. She went to New York expressly to see this exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum, and I am delighted to be able to share her unique perspective on this show with you.)

Marion council reviews planning commission issues
Jerry Dieter and Todd Heitschmidt were sworn into office at the April 16 Marion City Council meeting, replacing outgoing members Bill Holdeman and Steven Smith.
In addition to reviewing general procedures, the new members also learned of two issues facing the city's planning commission scheduled to meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
City Administrator Doug Kjellin said the planning commission is uneasy about changes needed for a new subdivision on Eisenhower, across from the high school football field, and the rehabilitation of September Senior Apartments.
"(The commission) tasked with reviewing all building and subdivisions has concerns about meeting minimum lot sizes and easement areas on the original plat.
"While the commission has made modifications, these corrections aren't absolutely to the letter of the law," Kjellin said, adding this would be considered at Tuesday's meeting.
One issue is the zoning designation of the final plat from low density residential to high density residential for the subdivision, which Kjellin said would mean the street right-of-way should be at 66 feet on urban incorporated streets.
"Right now the right of way is 54 feet, but the street width is still at 24 feet width back to the curb," he said. "It's just a line on the map and when developed it won't be seen."
The other issue involves high density residential requirements of a 25-foot setback with the current setback closer to 20 feet.
As for utility easements, Kjellin said they fit within a high density zone.
Heitschmidt asked if this would require rezoning or the need for a variance.
According to Kjellin, the planning commission knows what the irregularities are and if they recommend approval, the city council can vote in favor of their recommendation.
"There isn't a variance process," Kjellin said, "because it would already be in there."
Mayor Mary Olson said she is uncomfortable signing off on a letter of partnership support between the city and Homestead Affordable Housing because the aforementioned issues are still undecided.
Olson was referring to a letter presented for council approval stating support for the rehabilitation of September Apartments, the construction of 14 new senior units and HAH's request for issuance of taxable bonds for a 10-year tax abatement on both projects.
Olson said she would prefer the letter be signed after everything is already done.
"That is just me speaking," she said.
Kjellin said the reason for the letter coming first is about timing and the way the annual grant funding falls.
Prior to the council meeting, Tom Bishop with HAH sent Kjellin a letter stating he wants to make sure the city understood that in no way would it be responsible for any of the $5.4 million in bonds it would take to move forward on building plans.
By a majority, the council approved the letter of support on the affordable housing projects with Olson casting the dissenting vote.
"I am opposed for the reasons I have already explained," she said.
The planning commission members who will offer a recommendation on the projects include Margo Yates, Dick Varenhorst, Roger Schroeder, Ruth Herbel, Paul White, Chad Gormley and Dustin Hett.
The council, in other business:
• unanimously approved the one-year appointments of Kjellin as city administrator; Angela Lange as city clerk; Keith Collett as city attorney; Tyler Mermis as police chief; Randy Pankratz as municipal judge and Mike Regnier as fire chief.
• agreed with Olson's recommendation to have Sheila Anderson fill Ed Wheeler's unexpired term on the museum board.
• tabled approval of Charter Ordinance Amendment 12-02.
• discussed tree dump attendance and the labor costs of $8,500 compared to $1,000 in fees collected.
• received a letter from Leroy Kraus of Marion on behalf of agri producers in the area for allowing the use of the municipal airport.
The next meeting is at 4:30 p.m. April 30 in council chambers at Marion City Hall.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Protesters hit the streets of uptown Charlotte on Satruday to call for the end of the Federal Reserve.
A group called "Americans Against the Federal Reserve" organized the protest.
Their message is that the Federal Reserve has too much power over U.S. national currency. The group says the "Fed" operates in secrecy.
"What we want to do is allow Congress, our government, to see what they're doing. Because if the Federal Reserve isn't accountable to Congress, if Congress doesn't have control and our government doesn't have control over the Federal Reserve then who does?" said Dainel Rufty who organized the protest.
There are 12 Federal Reserve bank branches in the U.S. including the one on Trade Street in uptown Charlotte.

With the beginning of another school year upon us, parents and students are gearing up with back-to-school shopping and transitioning from summer schedules to early mornings. For teenagers, these early mornings are a challenge as many will find themselves nodding off during their classes as high school bells ring around 7:30 a.m. While parents and teachers may attribute falling asleep during class to staying up late checking Facebook statuses and texting with friends, medical evidence suggests that an early school start time before 8:30 a.m. is a greater culprit because classes are occurring when students' brains and bodies are still in biological sleep mode.
In fact, according to the National Sleep Foundation teenagers ages 13-19 have a natural sleep pattern that leads to a late-to-bed, late-to-rise cycle. This is because in adolescents the brain chemical melatonin, which is responsible for sleepiness, is secreted from approximately 11 p.m. until 8 a.m. – the sleep phase shift. Early school start times interrupt this natural sleep pattern, leaving many high school students sleep deprived. Sleep deprivation negatively affects student learning and overall health which is why the University of Minnesota College of Education and Human Development Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement (CAREI) conducted the first research study of its kind in 1996 to determine how shifting to a later school time impacts students and schools.
The School Start Time Study tracked high school students from two Minneapolis-area districts that changed to a later school start time from 7:20 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. (Edina) and 8:40 a.m. (Minneapolis Public Schools). The results showed many positive benefits, including:
- Improved attendance and enrollment rates
- Less sleeping in class
- Less student-reported depression
- Fewer student visits to school counselors for behavioral and peer issues
- More even temperament at home
Five years later, a longitudinal follow-up study of the Minneapolis Public Schools revealed that the positive benefits continued to persist over time. Despite concerns from coaches, school administrators and teachers, the later high school start time did not affect enrollment in after-school sports and activities or increase transportation costs. In fact, coaches and teachers reported students were more mentally alert at the end of the day. Other Minnesota schools to adopt a later start time include: St. Louis Park, South Washington County and Mahtomedi. Today, several high schools in the Minneapolis Public School district will start their day at 8:30 a.m.
About the study
The School Start Time Study was recently featured in the University of Minnesota's College of Education and Human Development Vision 2020 blog written by Kyla Wahlstrom, director of the Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement (CAREI). Wahlstrom's research focuses on the politics of change, professional development of teachers and leadership issues. Her research on the importance of later school start times garnered national recognition. Wahlstrom received the National Leadership Award for research having a national impact from the Minnesota Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development in 2000.

December isn't just about tree lightings, holiday feasts and shopping.
It also marks the high point in Oscar season, the time of year when studios release their prestige pictures to garner the buzz they'll need to get nominated for the awards ceremony in early 2013.
In Patch's Holiday Movie Guide, we'll focus on a few of these films opening along the North Shore. Which should you see? Which should you skip? Which should you bring your kids to? Keep reading to find out.
Weekend of Nov. 30
Most Oscar-buzz: Anna Karenina
The director of Atonement and Pride and Prejudice releases his third movie featuring Keira Kinghtly that also happens to be based on one of the most renowned works of Russian literature ever. Though both prior movies were critically acclaimed, neither garnered Wright an Oscar nod. The fact that his latest hasn't been named a winner by critics might be an ominous sign, though.
Playing at Landmark Renaissance in Highland Park
Most fun: Silver Linings Playbook
David O. Russell may not be who you'd imagine to direct a romantic comedy that strikes the perfect balance between funny and sentimental. But before he directed the crowd-pleasing The Fighter, Russell directed 1996's quirky Flirting With Disaster, a quirky rom-com with Ben Stiller that helped put both men on the map. His latest movie stars Bradley Cooper as a man battling some mental issues with the help of his parents, including Robert De Niro in what might possibly be his first good performance in over a decade. Along the way, he falls for Jennifer Lawrence, who's got her own mental issues she's working through.

Most family friendly: Wreck-It Ralph
This animated ode to video games is more than just a collection of celebrity voices and pop culture jokes, which mean it's significantly better than most animated films that get theatrical releases. John C. Reilly voices Ralph, a villain in a classic-Donkey Kong inspired video game who is tired of being the bad guy. The characters and setting are bound to appeal to kids while the story, and some of the jokes, will hit more with their parents.

NEW BERN — A Greenville man has been sentenced to 150 months in prison followed by five years of supervised release following his September 11 conviction on six violations of federal narcotics laws.
The arrest resulted from a 10-year investigation into the infrastructure of Mexican Drug Trafficking Organizations that led to the arrest of more than 100 suspects in North Carolina alone.
Jeremy Richardson, 28, was charged with conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 28 grams of cocaine or more and a quantity of powered cocaine.
According to evidence presented in court, Richardson arranged sales with undercover operatives and sold them crack cocaine for two years.
Investigation into Richardson revealed that he had been selling drugs since 2001 and was responsible for the distribution of more than 800 grams of crack cocaine and 10 kilograms of powder cocaine.
The arrest came as a part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force operation titled, "No Quarter."
During the investigation, 127 kilograms of cocaine was seized, 41 lbs. of crystal methamphetamine, 160 lbs. of marijuana and 32 grams of heroin, all of which is valued at around $4.6 million.
Currency adding up to $1.5 million was seized, as well as 35 firearms and 35 properties – worth another $1.5 million – that were used for the distribution of illegal drugs.
