Summer on a Budget
I spent some time brainstorming great ways to have fun this summer on a reduced budget. Here are my ideas for cheap date nights, inexpensive fun with the family and summer vacations that don't require you to spend a lot of money.
You'll Never Get a Job Here
I recently received your résumé and follow-up e-mails. I feel the need to assist you in your job search by giving you a few dos and don'ts, so that next time you apply for a job, you'll at least be called for an interview.
The Cost of the Wandering Eye of the Tiger
Disclaimer: I have no idea if the Tiger Woods affair rumors and allegations are true. I happen to think they are true, and I have an opinion. You can have one too. Here's mine ...
Stop Giving Your Kids Allowances
My daughter wants to get some extra cash, but I have no intention of giving it to her for free. And you shouldn't either.
Real Housewives of the Recession
I'll admit it. I watch "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." While I am constantly entertained, there is one aspect of the show that makes my skin crawl more than Kim's wigs ... it's the BLING!
The Four Agreements (of Foreclosure)
I recently read "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz, and have found multiple ways to apply his simple principles in my life. Here's how I interpret them when it comes to money.
You CAN Lower Your Rent!
It's highly likely that in recent months, the value of your apartment has gone down. Here is what you need to do to get your landlord to lower your rent.
Are Time-Shares a Rip-Off?
Over the years, I have sat through multiple time-share presentations and happily walked out of them without spending a dime. Last year, however, I shocked myself and decided to purchase one while on vacation with my daughter.

The Sordid Sixteen of Fossil Fuels
While our ultimate goal is for Swarthmore to divest completely from the fossil fuel industry, we have developed a list of 16 companies, or the "Sordid Sixteen," that are the worst of the worst, and must be divested immediately. They are:
Alpha Natural Resources
ANR is the third-largest coal producer in the U.S., producing approximately 126 million tons of coal from approximately 150 active mines in Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Wyoming. ANR is currently the single largest company using mountaintop removal,[1] a particularly invasive method of coal mining that directly correlates with high rates of cancer, birth defects, and poverty.[2] In 2010, ANR received 1,453 notices of violations — over 4 a day — from the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) for breaches of health or safety standards that could cause a serious injury.[3]ANR is also responsible for the 2010 Upper Big Branch explosion, which resulted in the deaths of 29 miners.
Arch Coal
Arch is the second-largest coal producer in the U.S.[4] Arch is currently in a court battle to build the Spruce No. 1 mine, which would be the largest mountaintop removal mine in the U.S.[5] In 2009, the company spent over $2.32 million on lobbying efforts, and has also developed the Arch Coal Political Action Committee, which is a substantial donor to West Virginia politicians.[6]
Cabot Oil & Gas
Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation is a natural gas exploration and production company based in Houston. The company has been cited for numerous spills of toxic hydrofracking fluids in northeastern PA.Cabot had 412 violations on 213 wells drilled in the Marcellus Shale region from 2008-2011, which is roughly 2 violations per well.[7] EPA tests of well water in the area show dangerous levels of arsenic, glycols, barium, and other carcinogens.[8] These wells are also the site of the famous images of families lighting their tap water on fire.
Chesapeake Energy
Chesapeake is, in its own words, "the second-largest producer of natural gas, a Top 15 producer of oil and natural gas liquids and the most active driller of new wells in the U.S."[9] While natural gas is often touted as a cleaner alternative to coal, recent studies show that high levels of methane released through hydrofracking result in greater overall greenhouse gas emissions for natural gas than for coal.[10] In 2011, Chesapeake was implicated in 141 health and safety violations in Pennsylvania alone. Chesapeake was fined $565,000 in February 2012 for previous violations that resulted in contamination of local waterways. In May of 2011, Chesapeake was fined $1.09 million.[11]
Chevron is a U.S. based multinational energy company that is active in over 180 countries. It is considered one of the 6 "supermajor" oil companies in the world and is one of the largest 5 corporations in the U.S.[12] It has a long history of ethical violations, excerpted here. In 1950, it was one of three companies responsible for buying streetcar systems nationwide and replacing them with bus systems to increase petroleum sales. The three companies were charged and convicted for conspiracy.[13] Chevron is responsible for sickening local residents and damaging forests and rivers in Ecuador by dumping 18 billion gallons of toxic formation water into the rainforest with no remediation.[14] Its Richmond, CA refinery has bypassed wastewater treatment and released 11 million pounds of toxic materials into the environment.[15] Chevron may have paid for Nigerian military forces to commit human rights abuses, such as shooting protesters from helicopters. [16] Chevron is also responsible for a large oil spill off the coast of Brazil in 2011.[17]
ConocoPhillips is a U.S. multinational energy company and one of the six "supermajor" oil companies. It is operating in over 40 countries worldwide. Within the U.S., it is the second-largest refiner of oil, and the 13th worst corporate air polluter.[18] ConocoPhillips' Trainer Oil Refinery is the second-largest industrial polluter in Delaware County. A 2006 Swarthmore study found that this facility released over 138 tons of nitrate compounds into the Delaware River each year, putting area infants at greater risk of "Blue Baby Disease." The study also found that ConocoPhillips emits substantial amounts of napthalane, an airborne toxicant, from this same facility.[19]
Dominion Resources
Dominion Resources is a power and energy company headquartered in Richmond, Virginia. In 2010, pollution from Dominion's coal-fired power plants contribute to 332 deaths, 519 heart attacks, 5,528 asthma attacks, and 205 cases of chronic bronchitis per year.[20] Dominion also recently received approval from the U.S. Department of Energy to export natural gas from its Cove Point Liquefied Natural Gas terminal.[21] This move to export natural gas belies industry and governmental assurances that increased natural gas exploration will result in U.S. energy independence.
Duke Energy
Duke is a utility based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Duke will soon be the largest utility in the U.S., pending approval of a merger with Progress Energy.[22] In 2010, pollution from Duke and Progress' coal plants caused 1,248 deaths, 1,887 heart attacks, 20,511 asthma attacks, and 758 cases of chronic bronchitis per year.[23] The company has also been implicated in numerous ethics scandals and is a major contributor to political candidates.[24]
Exelon is a utility based in Chicago but with a significant presence in greater Philadelphia. Exelon owns the Eddystone Station coal-fired power plant in Crum Lynne, PA. A 2006 Swarthmore study found that Eddystone Station releases nearly one ton of arsenic, one ton of lead, and 200 tons of sulfuric and hydrochloric acids into the atmosphere each year.[25] Eddystone Station also releases 162 pounds of mercury per year, more than all but two other power plants in the U.S. All of these contaminants have significant health effects for residents of Delaware County, with the impacts concentrated on the low-income and majority black residents of Chester.[26]
ExxonMobil, formerly Rockefeller's Standard Oil, is a U.S. multinational oil and gas corporation, and is the second-largest company in the world. Exxon has refineries in 21 countries, producing 6.3 million barrels a day, making in the largest refiner in the world. It is the largest "supermajor" oil company. The Exxon Valdez Spill in 1989, the second-largest spill in U.S. history, spilled 11 million gallons of crude oil. The company continues to suffer environmental mishaps; in July 2011, oil spilled from an ExxonMobil pipeline running from Silver Tip to Billings, Montana. The spill leaked 750 to 1,000 barrels of oil into the Yellowstone River in the 30 minutes before it was shut down.[27] Exxon allegedly assisted human rights violations in Indonesia by giving aid to the Indonesian military to torture and murder opposition.[28] 90% of scientists who deny climate change are connected with Exxon, and are often the direct recipients of Exxon funding.[29]
Halliburton is one of the world's largest natural gas companies, with operations in over 70 countries. Halliburton invented hydraulic fracturing, and is indirectly responsible for its recent expansion; the "Halliburton Loophole," passed in 2005 at the behest of former CEO Dick Cheney, removed the EPA's authority to regulate the practice.[30] In addition to numerous environmental disasters caused by fracking, Halliburton also shares culpability for the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill. The National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling found that Halliburton used an unstable sealant on the well, helping cause the worst oil spill in U.S. history.[31]
Hess is a New York-based oil company that explores, produces, transports, and refines crude oil and natural gas in the U.S. and around the world. Hess is responsible for spilling 163,000 gallons of kerosene into the Hudson River in 1990 and for spilling 2.5 million gallons of crude oil into the Gowanus Canal in 1976, the largest spill on record at that time.[32] Hess currently has to pay $1.1 million in fines for having over 100 violations at various gas stations and their major storage facility in Brooklyn.[33] In 2008, Hess also had to pay $422 million in a settlement over water contamination; public water providers from 17 states filed a suit over drinking water contamination.[34]
Occidental Petroleum
Occidental is an oil and gas exploration and production corporation operating in the United States, the Middle East, North Africa, and South America. It is the fourth largest U.S. oil and gas company. Hooker Chemicals, later purchased by Occidental, was responsible for disposing chemical waste in the Love Canal beginning in the 1940s. The waste site was later the site of a school and residential community that experienced high instances of health problems; Occidental was eventually forced to pay $129 million in restitution for the damage done.[35] In 2007, indigenous Peruvians filed a lawsuit against Occidental demanding that they clean up and pay reparations for environmental damage caused over the course of three decades of dumping chemical byproducts (totaling 9 billion barrels) into local watersheds that were sources of drinking water and fish.[36]
Patriot Coal
Patriot is a St. Louis-based coal extraction company. It is the second-largest practitioner of mountaintop removal in the U.S.[37] In 2010, Patriot was found in contempt of court for selenium pollution at two mountaintop removal sites in West Virginia.[38] From 2000 to 2010, Patriot Coal had nearly 3,000 "significant" violations from the Mine Safety and Health Administration, one death on the job, and close to $10 million in fines.[39] Patriot Coal is a member of and contributor to the National Mining Association, which since 1997 has spent over $40 million lobbying against issues such as clean air, clean energy and green jobs, and for carbon capture and storage.[40]
Peabody Energy
Peabody is the largest private-sector coal company in the world. In the U.S., it owns 20 coal mining operations in Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Illinois, and Indiana. In 2010, it averaged nine daily safety violations from the Mine Safety and Health Administration.[41] In addition to its U.S. operations, Peabody is rapidly expanding into China, where it has plans to develop several enormous surface mines.[42] Peabody spent almost $6.6 million on lobbying in 2010[43] and in the first 5 months of 2011 the company spent $3.7 million, including on a bill aimed at preventing the EPA from taking action relating to greenhouse gas emissions to address climate change.[44] In 2007, the Kentucky state legislature passed a law that will provide approximately $300 million in incentives to Peabody to build a coal gasification plant in that state.[45]
Range Resources
Range is a natural gas company based in Fort Worth, Texas, but with major operations in southwestern Pennsylvania. Range's operations in PA have led to skyrocketing levels of water-borne and aerial carcinogens.[46] As of May 2010, Range had made over $200,000 in fines to the state for regulatory violations.[47] Range has also engaged in campaigns of intimidation against communities who threaten to pass unfavorable zoning regulations. A company spokesman stated on record that the company employs Army-trained counterinsurgency experts to deal with angry local populations.[48]

saw you in the NYT. Great idea to push against coal.
Was wondering why BP didn't make your list? Duke Energy, for example, is one of the companies with a transition, new energy plan – their mission is solely to deliver electricity, and leaving fossil fuels (when economic) probably won't bother their business model.
Liquid petro fuels and transportation would be the next priority after coal – we're going to need natural gas for transition, and compared with coal, it will improve (industrialized) humanity's carbon footprint. Also, gas technologies can be converted easily to use biogases.
December 5, 2012 1:36 pm
Hi Sara, many energy conglomerates have so-called "clean" or "green" energy plans that they promote and advertise heavily. The problem is that these have always just been public relations campaigns in reality. They even sometimes spend millions of dollars on solar or wind projects that last several years only to quietly end them once their public image has been cleaned and greened enough. The problem is not what an energy conglomerate says; it is what they do. And the sad reality today is that, to be and energy conglomerate today means deriving billions of dollars of profit per year by extracting, processing, transporting and and burning fossil fuels. Many of the companies on this list are also heavily dependent on nuclear and hydrothermal power generation. But even those technologies are dwarfed by the massive scale upon which we humans are burning fossil fuels and stigmatizing the financing of the companies that profit from that activity is what this campaign is all about.
tedb permalinkDecember 6, 2012 6:10 pm
Good on you guys. I don't know if this is the best tactic, but the health of the planet is too important not to try every possible method to change our current ruinous course. Push all the buttons you can.

Does anyone know of any good backup utilities to use with a Silverstripe site. I'm after something that makes it as easy as possible for clients to create regular backups on their own since if they have to to go into cPanel or PHPAdmin it will never get done.
My ideal solution would be a module similar to a Joomla! component named JoomlaPack.
Re: Backups
6 July 2009 at 2:36am
this is a nice idea, there is a module create by Nicolaas which is called mysqldump. which enables you to get a dump of your database, sometimes we can have another module which also can work with the mysqldump, and which archives the codes, of the website.
Any thoughts about my idea?
Re: Backups
6 July 2009 at 7:13am
Thank you. That module looks promising and I'll be sure to keep an eye on it.
You're right that it would make a good piece to start with for building something as full featured as JoomlaPack!.
Re: Backups
6 July 2009 at 6:44pm
sometimes we can join and code up a module, are you good at PHP, and stuff? and I would like to hear about others thoughts about this too.
Re: Backups
7 July 2009 at 1:32pm Last edited: 7 July 2009 1:32pm
I've got what I think is a solid handle on basic programming with PHP but most of what I've done has been making modifications to existing code. I don't have any experience with anything as extensive as building a module.
I'd be interested in contributing if I can be useful but won't have the time for at least a few months. I have several projects going at the moment that will keep me too busy until then.
As far as ideas for the module go I think it's primary focus should be on getting non-technical users to maintain up to date backups and anything that doesn't contribute to that end should be considered secondary. What this means to me is that the essential qualities would be as follows:
- Simple to use: user should have to do as little as possible to create and save a backup. I envision a single button to create the backup which would be some kind of compressed package so they don't have to manage multiple files. Another button would let them download the latest backup for archives. A nice touch would be a listing of recent backups and when they were created. I would place all of this in the admin panel in a section listed with 'Content', 'Comments', 'Security' etc.
- Reminders: something that would pop up an alert at regular intervals, once a week, once a month, etc., since the user can't always be counted on to remember on their own.
Re: Backups
7 July 2009 at 2:37pm
thanks for the idea, I will put my head more into this, and let you know.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Earlier this year three Saint Leo University student-athletes, Katie David (swimming), Eric Dirth (cross country), and Nicole Sirota-Plotnikov (lacrosse), were selected as scholarship recipients to participate in the 2012 Republican National Convention. With the start of the event scheduled for Monday, August 27, the trio is now giving Saint Leo University and inside look at the Tampa Bay Times Forum and all of its happenings as it hosts one of the nation's largest events.
Coordinated by the Washington Center, a nonprofit educational organization, the three student-athletes will spend two weeks at the seminar amongst the 'who's-who' of the political world as they learn how to interact with the national media, learn from political elites, and begin shaping their own political vocations.
Still, with as much responsibility the trio has been tasked with, the group has still found time to give the Saint Leo University community a glimpse of all the behind-the-scenes action of next week's RNC with an online blog complete with pictures. Sharing the blog space, each student-athlete will be updating the site over the coming days.
In addition, one of the students will also travel on to Charlotte, NC, for a similar program at the Democratic National Convention. Saint Leo University is nonpartisan and is supporting student attendance for the unique learning opportunities.
View the group's day-by-day blog here, and make be sure to interact with them as they begin shaping their professional careers.

Baltimore Heart Walk [Pictures]
Thousands walk in the American Heart Association's Baltimore Heart Walk on Saturday, Oct. 20, to raise awareness for heart health and fight against heart disease. More than 50 companies helped to surpass the fundraising goal, raising $1,379,000 for local community programs and heart and stroke research.

Members of Team Kayden Spencer walk around the Inner Harbor as they take part in the Greater Baltimore Heart Walk. Kayden, 3, in stroller, had three open heart surgeries at Johns Hopkins Medical Center. Pushing the stroller, is his mother, Sarah Spencer, who heads the team that raised $18,575 for the American Heart Association making it the team with the highest total. On left, walking with them is Kayden's grandmother, Pat Spencer. Sitting beside him is his sister, Avery Spencer, 7 months. They all live in Waldorf. The American Heart Association event raises money and awareness for heart health.

Blaine teachers get top marks
of Blaine high school teachers have reached the highest
level of teaching you can get national certification.
The certification is given by the National Board For Professional
Teaching Standards. It is considered the practical equivalent
to a masters in education based on teaching performance.
Math teacher John Freal and science teacher Don Lotze both spent 200 hours preparing videos of their classes and turning in student work, as well as their own. All of this to make up six portfolios, which make up 60 percent of their overall score. The other 40 percent of the score is a six-hour test on how they would teach certain material.
Only one third of the teachers who apply for the National Certification pass and only 112 teachers have this credential in the state of Washington. A lot of people drop out, it is a lot of work, said Neal Nix, an English teacher who is in the process of putting his portfolios together. I would not try to get this unless I had a pretty good chance. This is good to get. Even if you fail you get feedback on what you are weak and what you are strong in, said Lotze.

There are many sub-level conversations to this dispute due to the fact that the genuine "right" answer is based upon that individual interaction. Nevertheless, those discussions typically happen at the position level. So we discuss it at length, especially because it is so tied to budget and cost. I understand the argument. Learn more*
According to Business Expert, in 2013, 43 % of YouTube video traffic was mobile, 16 % higher than 2012. This growing trend is necessary for companies particularly when mobile audiences have the tendency to stay engaged for longer time frames than desktop users. Learn more*

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WSAU) - Green Bay city officials are asking a judge to impose penalties of up to 500 dollars per day on the St. John the Evangelist Homeless Shelter downtown.
The shelter at 411 St. John Street is run by the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay. Its administrators have been ordered to make a court appearance January 18th to face charges the shelter has violated its city permit by housing more people than allowed.
Mayor Jim Schmitt says the city has always supported homeless services and will continue to do so, but city leaders worry repeated violations of the occupancy limit at the shelter create safety problems and worry businesses and people living nearby.

MLB announced the suspensions stemming from the brawl in Sunday's Brewer-Pirate game. Martin Maldonado received 5 games for punching Travis Snider. He began serving the penalty last night. But the others who were punished are appealing their suspensions and that includes Carlos Gomez who says that a three game suspension isnt fair because he didnt start the brawl and didnt throw the first punch.Gomez implies in his statement that the video doesnt show everything that happened and says the umpires know what actually happened. Snider was suspended for two games and Russell Martin for one and they are both appealing as well. Gerrit Cole, the Pirate pitcher who started the whole mess was not suspended and that didnt sit well with Gomez or Brewer manager Ron Roenicke.
The Brewers dropped a pitchers duel at Miller Park 2-1 to the Padres in 12 innings last night. They finish up their series with San Diego tonight and you can hear it on WSAU at 6:35.
The NFL is making a big deal out of the release of their schedule. The announcement will be made as part of a show on the NFL Network tonight at 7pm

33 U.S. Code § 3101 - Interagency oceans and human health research program
prev | next
(a) Coordination
The President, through the National Science and Technology Council, shall coordinate and support a national research program to improve understanding of the role of the oceans in human health.
(b) Implementation plan
Within 1 year after December 8, 2004, the National Science and Technology Council, through the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy shall develop and submit to the Congress a plan for coordinated Federal activities under the program. Nothing in this subsection is intended to duplicate or supersede the activities of the Inter-Agency Task Force on Harmful Algal Blooms and Hypoxia established under section 603 of the Harmful Algal Bloom and Hypoxia Research and Control Act of 1998 (16 U.S.C. 1451 note). In developing the plan, the Committee will consult with the Inter-Agency Task Force on Harmful Algal Blooms and Hypoxia. Such plan will build on and complement the ongoing activities of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Science Foundation, and other departments and agencies and shall—
(1) establish, for the 10-year period beginning in the year it is submitted, the goals and priorities for Federal research which most effectively advance scientific understanding of the connections between the oceans and human health, provide usable information for the prediction of marine-related public health problems and use the biological potential of the oceans for development of new treatments of human diseases and a greater understanding of human biology;
(2) describe specific activities required to achieve such goals and priorities, including the funding of competitive research grants, ocean and coastal observations, training and support for scientists, and participation in international research efforts;
(3) identify and address, as appropriate, relevant programs and activities of the Federal agencies and departments that would contribute to the program;
(4) identify alternatives for preventive unnecessary duplication of effort among Federal agencies and departments with respect to the program;
(5) consider and use, as appropriate, reports and studies conducted by Federal agencies and departments, the National Research Council, the Ocean Research Advisory Panel, the Commission on Ocean Policy and other expert scientific bodies;
(6) make recommendations for the coordination of program activities with ocean and human health-related activities of other national and international organizations; and
(c) Program scope
The program may include the following activities related to the role of oceans in human health:
(1) Interdisciplinary research among the ocean and medical sciences, and coordinated research and activities to improve understanding of processes within the ocean that may affect human health and to explore the potential contribution of marine organisms to medicine and research, including—
(A) vector- and water-borne diseases of humans and marine organisms, including marine mammals and fish;
(B) harmful algal blooms and hypoxia (through the Inter-Agency Task Force on Harmful Algal Blooms and Hypoxia);
(D) marine organisms as models for biomedical research and as indicators of marine environmental health;
(2) Coordination with the National Ocean Research Leadership Council (10 U.S.C. 7902 (a)) to ensure that any integrated ocean and coastal observing system provides information necessary to monitor and reduce marine public health problems including health-related data on biological populations and detection of contaminants in marine waters and seafood.
(3) Development through partnerships among Federal agencies, States, academic institutions, or non-profit research organizations of new technologies and approaches for detecting and reducing hazards to human health from ocean sources and to strengthen understanding of the value of marine biodiversity to biomedicine, including—
(A) genomics and proteomics to develop genetic and immunological detection approaches and predictive tools and to discover new biomedical resources;
(C) in situ and remote sensors used to detect, quantify, and predict the presence and spread of contaminants in marine waters and organisms and to identify new genetic resources for biomedical purposes;
(D) techniques for supplying marine resources, including chemical synthesis, culturing and aquaculturing marine organisms, new fermentation methods and recombinant techniques; and
(d) Annual report
Beginning with the first year occurring more than 24 months after December 8, 2004, the National Science and Technology Council, through the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy shall prepare and submit to the President and the Congress not later than January 31st of each year an annual report on the activities conducted pursuant to this title during the preceding fiscal year, including—
(1) a summary of the achievements of Federal oceans and human health research, including Federally supported external research, during the preceding fiscal year;
(2) an analysis of the progress made toward achieving the goals and objectives of the plan developed under subsection (b), including identification of trends and emerging trends;
(4) a summary of agency budgets for oceans and human health activities for that preceding fiscal year; and

With the UK scrappage scheme to be extended, one obvious question is what would have happened if it hadn't been extended.
Of course now we'll never know, but we might get some insight from the US. The $3bn cash-for-clunkers scheme only lasted one month in the US. When the incentives were in full swing, over 14.1 million new cars were registered (at a seasonally annual adjusted rate). The figure, an industry benchmark, hadn't exceeded 10 million in 2009 until the incentive program began in July. Between 2000-2007, annual average car sales were 16.8 million.
The September car sales numbers are due out on Thursday. What will happen to car sales then?
Well, if the 16.8 million figure reflects a bloated industry, then a leaner one would probably produce around 12-15 million cars per year.
I'm betting the numbers fall, but not by as much as people expect. The pessimists are looking for growth to be around 8-9 million. I'm guessing you'll get around 10 million this month, and maybe a 7-8 million rate in September.
But does that mean the US scrappage scheme should have been extended? No, but dealers and manufacturers will suffer a fairly sharp autumn hangover after the heady days of summer.

For the second week in a row, the Hillsdale Hornets will take on a special foe.ĀIn round one,Āthe Hornets renewed a crosstown rivalry with Jonesville and won, 29-14. This week they getĀaĀrematch with theĀConstantine Falcons, the team that ended their seasonĀin 2012.
"Revenge is in the back of all of our heads," senior linebacker and receiver Andrew Wilcox said.
In 2012, Constantine beat Hillsdale 48-35 in the Regional Championship, and then advanced to the State Championship before losing to Ithaca.
The Hornets made too many mistakes in the loss, in particular a goal line fumble.ĀConstantine also converted on several 3rd and longs with big runs.
"They were very disciplined," Wilcox said. "They kept running inside. They just ran the ball down our throats."
2013 is a new year with new lineups.
"Last year doesn't matter," Hillsdale coach Marc Lemerand said.
ConstantineĀgraduated an entire backfield of hard runnersĀin 2012, but their scheme has not changed, and their new crop of players are no less talented.
Against Michigan Center last week, the Falcons won 41 to 26, and picked up nearly 400 rushing yards.
Matt Hasbrouck ran for 159 yards and three touchdowns, while Taylor Reiff garnered 156 rushing yards.
"They run the wing-t," Lemerand said. "They run it as well as anyone in the state. They hide the ball well."
The defense will have to compensate for injured lineman Pat Drews, who will be undergoing knee surgery for an injury sustained against Jonesville last week.
"It's unfortunate," Lemerand said.Ā"But we have had guys step up. I think they are up to the challenge."
Wilcox said theĀdefense will have to buckle down and force the Falcons into 3rd and long situations.
"We need to stop the inside run," Wilcox said.
The Falcons finished this season 5-4, and qualified for the post seasonĀas aĀfive-win-at-large team.
"A lot of the teams they lost to finished the season 8-1 or 9-0," Sophomore quarterback Martin Petersen said. "They are a really good team."
With the Falcon's power-run game attracting so much attention, Petersen said he is mentally prepped for their physical defense.
"They are going to bring it hard off the edge," Petersen said. "We are going to have to open it upĀmore. That puts a little more pressure on me and the receivers."
2013 may be a new season, but itĀis safe to say that the Hornets are happy to have another crack at the Falcons.
"I think we are looking for a little revenge," Petersen said. "Especially some of the guys that were on the team last year."
The game will kickoff at 7:00 p.m. The Hornets have home field advantage.
Page 2 of 2 - "It's awesome playing at home," Petersen said. "That definitely does help."

The irritating part here is that there is not a single place for a kid to play onbord the whole ship besides in the kindergarden. So my younget spend a "funn" time with mum and dad during the whole cruise. I could go on and on here but lets cut to the shase:
The service level is like sero.
There is not a singel happy face on the whole ship.
The atitude from the staff is descusting.
The chef should do everybody a feaver and leav the job. The food is below menimum standard. We dident have a singel good meal during the whole cruise.
The last farwel from the ship was sending us all out in the rain to pick up the lougage (soaking wet)
As you probably know by now we would not recomend this to enybody. If you are looking for a great time try RCCL

Comptroller's Office
|Effective: 01/01/2000
Revised: 05/17/2013
|CMP 103: Departmental Record Retention
To determine a sufficient time period to retain university financial records.
University policy
Departments should retain financial records for an extended period of time. One reason for maintaining records is to provide source documents to substantiate charges to Post Award Departments. Interdepartmental billing computations and receipt acknowledgments for services or materials are particularly important source documents for this purpose. Often sponsors do not audit Post Awards until a number of years after the project terminates.
Financial records shall be retained by all NAU departments for the periods listed below:
|Retention Periods for Financial Records
|Type of Records
|Retention Period
|Interdepartmental billing computations, receipt acknowledgments, and other documents of servicing departments substantiating interdepartmental charges
|five years after fiscal year prepared.
|Failure to adhere to this policy could result in cost disallowances to NAU and possible charge-backs of previous billings to departments.
|Documentation of purchases made with an NAU Purchasing Card. Documentation includes itemized cash register receipts and other point of sale documents that specify what was purchased.
|five years after fiscal year prepared
|All documentation for Purchasing Card transactions is maintained in the department making the purchase. The documentation must be available for review/audit for five years.
|Cash receipts details and cash register tapes
|five years after fiscal year prepared
|All other financial records including PeopleSoft Financials accounting system computer printouts
|three years after fiscal year prepared
|The Comptroller's Office typically maintains a copy of these records for seven years.
|Telephone and fax records (long distance, in state and out of state)
|Long distance telephone calls (both in state and out of state) must be verified by each department. The documentation must be available for review/audit for five years.
University departments with limited storage space may consider storing records outside the office area.
For guidance in storing records outside the office area and other information regarding records and retention, Contact Karen Underhill, Head of Special Collections and Archives. Also see Cline Library record retention web page.
For guidance on personal use of NAU telephones, see CMP 117 Personal Use of University Resources.

NEW YORK -- After three long games on the road, the Brooklyn Nets made quick work of Cleveland back at home.
Paul Pierce scored 17 of his 22 points in a flawless first quarter, and the Nets pulled away in the second on the way to their 12th straight home victory, 108-97 over the Cavaliers on Friday night.
"It was great for him to come out and get us started and get us going, and then that second group kind of finished it off," Nets guard Deron Williams said.
Joe Johnson added 14 points for the Nets, who played three straight overtime games on their road trip, losing the last two of them. But things were much easier inside Barclays Center, where they won for the 19th time in their last 21 games.
"It sure beats us getting booed earlier in the year," Pierce said. "So we're playing well here. We feel comfortable on our home turf."
The Nets are hoping to open the playoffs here, but still have work to do to catch either Toronto or Chicago for home-court advantage in the first round. They are 2 1/2 games behind the Raptors for first place in the Atlantic Division and 1 1/2 behind the Bulls for the No. 4 spot in the Eastern Conference.
The Nets were without Kevin Garnett for a 15th straight game because of back spasms and Andrei Kirilenko for a third in a row because of a sprained left ankle, but had six players score in double figures and shot 55 per cent from the field. They scored the first 12 points of the second quarter to break away from a 29-all tie, and Cleveland never put much of a dent in the lead.
Brooklyn had a 48-18 advantage in bench points in improving to 28-12 since Jan. 1, best in the East.
"That's who we are. If we're going to go anywhere in this playoffs, we're a team full of depth. We've got a number of guys that can beat you on any given night, it's not really surrounded around one particular guy," Pierce said. "Tonight I was our leading scorer, but then it can be somebody else tomorrow, the next game and that's what makes us so dangerous."
Luol Deng and Dion Waiters each scored 20 points for the Cavaliers, who had won three in a row. They had pulled off a pair of big fourth-quarter comebacks during the win streak, beating Detroit on Wednesday on Waiters' jumper as time expired, but there was no run in this one.
"I've come to the conclusion of expecting more from us. That's what's disappointing," Cleveland coach Mike Brown said. "It's disappointing to play the way we did tonight. It's tough to swallow."
Williams and Alan Anderson each scored 13 points for Brooklyn, which improved to 11-4 this month and can tie the franchise record for most victories in March by beating Minnesota here Sunday night.
Williams made a 3-pointer and Pierce hit two straight for a 9-0 Brooklyn lead, and Pierce was 4 for 4 before the first was half over. But Spencer Hawes and Deng led a solid finish to the quarter that allowed Cleveland to tie it at 29.
The Nets were even better to open the second, scoring 12 straight to make it 41-29 on Anderson's 3-pointer. The lead reached 17 on a 3-pointer by Pierce with 2:05 remaining, and Brooklyn took a 61-50 lead into halftime. Six players had at least four points in the quarter.
Cleveland cut Brooklyn's 16-point lead in the third in half by the end of the quarter, but the Nets quickly regained control by opening the fourth with an 8-1 spurt for a 15-point cushion.
"We've got to do a better job coming out in the first quarter," Waiters said, "not always falling down by a big margin."
NOTES: Brooklyn's Jorge Gutierrez made some money and lost some Friday. Shortly after the Nets signed him to a multiyear deal after the expiration of his second 10-day contract, the rookie point guard was fined $15,000 by the NBA for making excessive contact above the shoulders when he fouled Charlotte's Cody Zeller on Wednesday. ... After opening the season against each other with the Cavs' win in Cleveland on Oct. 30, they will finish things off in the same spot on April 16.

Apple tops Google and Coke in brand valuation
Whatever damage Apple has sustained in the stock market as its hyper-growth slows to more modest levels, it still owns the most valuable brand in the world.
By Douglas A. McIntyre, 24/7 Wall St.
Whatever damage Apple (AAPL) has sustained in the stock market as its hyper-growth slows to more modest levels, it still owns the most valuable brand in the world. In the annual Interbrand survey, that value rose 28% to $98.3 billion. Google (GOOG) trailed in second place, up 34% to $93.3 billion. One of the world's older brands, Coca-Cola (KO) posted third, up only 2% to $79.2 billion.
Tech dominated the balance of the top 10 in the Interbrand 2013 study. International Business Machines (IBM) was fourth at $78.8 billion, up 4%. Microsoft (MSFT) was next, up 3% to $59.5 billion, followed by General Electric (GE) up 7% to $46.9 billion. McDonald's (MCD) was number seven at about $42.0 billion, up 5%.
Tech took the next top places -- Samsung in the number eight spot, up a sharp 20% to $39.6 billion, and Intel (INTC) down 5% to $37.3 billion. It was the only brand in the top 10 to lose value. Toyota Motor (TM) was in tenth place with a brand value of $35.3 billion, up 17%.
It tells a great deal about the revival of the car industry that the next two places on the brand list are held by Mercedes, up 6% to $31.9 billion, and BMW at $31.8 billion, up 10%. The two luxury brands may sell many fewer cars than Toyota. However, the price of each company's vehicles is almost certainly well above Toyota's.
One lesson from the Interbrand survey is that great brands are hard to kill. Many people will be surprised that Apple is at the top, and that other troubled brands like GE and Microsoft can make it into the top 10. Each of these, however, is universally known. Although revenue growth at each of the public companies has faltered, they are still among the largest corporations in the world.
The primary weakness of the Interbrand survey is that its methodology is a black box. Perhaps because it is in the consulting business, Interbrand does not want to disclose too much of what it sells to companies interested in improving brand value. The methodology includes financial evaluation, brand strength and the role of the brand. Some of the world's largest brands have been left out for subjective purposes:
Telecommunications, for example, tends to be strongly oriented to national markets and faces awareness challenges outside of home markets. The airline industry is highly capital intensive and, typically, operates on narrow margins. This means that airline brands struggle to achieve positive economic profits over the long term. Major pharmaceutical companies, while valuable businesses, are also omitted. This is because consumers tend to build a relationship with the product brands rather than with the corporate brand owner, and there is insufficient publicly disclosed financial data on pharmaceutical product brands to meet Interbrand's criteria.
The Interbrand measurement approach may be short of perfect. It does, however, show how long brand value can endure, even if the brands are owned by faltering companies.

KSP Highway Safety Branch News Release
Seventeen Die On Kentucky Roadways Last Week (Aug. 11 through Aug. 17)
Date of News Release: 08/19/08
(FRANKFORT, Ky.) - Preliminary statistics* indicate that 17 people died in 13 separate crashes on Kentucky's roadways from Monday, Aug. 11 through Sunday, Aug. 17, 2008.
Twelve of the fatalities were traveling in motor vehicles. Seven of the victims were not wearing seat belts. Three victims were riding motorcycles and one was not wearing a helmet. One fatality was a pedestrian and one was a bicyclist. One of the fatalities was the result of a crash involving alcohol.
Carter, Hart, Henderson and Warren counties each recorded one double-fatality crash. Single-fatality crashes occurred in Clay, Estill, Jefferson, Owsley, Trimble, Union and Wolfe counties. The pedestrian fatality was in Grayson County and the bicyclist fatality was in Edmonson County.
Through Aug. 17, preliminary statistics* indicate that 478 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2008. This is 68 fewer than reported for this time period in 2007. Of the 366 motor vehicle fatalities, 225 victims were not wearing seat belts. Of the 57 motorcycle fatalities, 34 were not wearing helmets. Of the 14 ATV fatalities, 13 were not wearing helmets. Thirty-eight pedestrians and three bicyclists have been killed. A total of 90 fatalities have resulted from crashes involving the suspected use of alcohol.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.
*These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas.

The Kane Lady Wolves got back on the winning ways with a convincing 55-24 win over Otto Eldred.
Kane, coming off a hard fought loss to Elk County Catholic on Friday night, wanted to get back to the things they have done in the earlier games. That is control the boards and play aggressive defense. The tight pressure defense led to several steals and layups throughout the night.
See full article by purchasing the Dec. 20 edition of The Kane Republican.
Kane found itself on the short end Friday night in a 60-39 loss to visiting Elk County Catholic.
The Kane Wolves were able to stay with the Elk County Catholic Crusaders the first half despite only shooting five of 16 from the free-throw line. The Crusaders hit a big desperation 3-pointer right before the buzzer of the half to take a six-point lead into the locker room instead of a three-point lead.
The Kane Lady Wolves again used a balance scoring attack to lift them to a win over Sheffield.
Audrey Perry again got off to a hot start as she hit for eight big points in the first quarter to lift the team's intensity.
All 11 players that got in the game scored for the Lady Wolves.
Perry led the scoring with 10 points followed by Angie Geer with eight while Drew Victory, Kaila Jamerson and Taylor Bucheit each chipped in with six each.
It is mid July just before 10 p.m. and I'm flying over the city of Seattle, Washington. The city is spectacular at night, with the famous Space Needle illuminated against the skyline. This is actually my second visit to the city. My first trip, over forty years ago, I was heading for the Army base at Fort Lewis. In that era, I felt sure I was on my way to South Vietnam, but as fate would have it, our company was deployed to another destination. You see, the Vietnam War was winding down, and the decision was made to reduce personnel going in that direction.
HERSHEY - The Kane country teams finished the season at the state meet in Hershey on Saturday.
Taylor Beimel, Kristen Boyer, Avery Colson and Jon Gelsick all competed in the event, and all would have fine races in the final race of the year.
BROCKWAY - The Kane Wolves travelled to Brockway to take on the Rovers on a good night for high school football.
The Brockway Rovers used a strong running game and got some great blocking up front to open up holes for the running backs. They were able to collect two first downs and put the young defense on their heels early. Then with just a little under nine minutes to go in the first quarter they got back to back nice runs culminating in the first score of the game with a big 43-yard touchdown. The PAT was good.
The Kane Lady Wolves ended their season with a loss to Bradford in a three-game sweep, giving them a 7-9 record. Â
In the first set, the Lady Wolves struggled to gel as a team, allowing Bradford to take a huge 17-0 lead before getting a point.
"The girls were just sort of out of sync in this opening set," said Kane head varsity volleyball coach Judy Kessler. "No matter what they did, it was a struggle. You have games like that and unfortunately when it's against a strong team like Bradford, they're going to take advantage of it and score a lot of points."
JOHNSONBURG – In a well played match of five sets, the Lady Wolves fell just shy of the win and a chance to go to districts as Johnsonburg took the match 3-2 (25-23, 25-18, 20-25, 20-25, 15-9).
A first-quarter touchdown and a fourth-quarter goal-line stand allowed the Kane Tornadoes to claim the Olean Youth Football League Pony Championship in their first year as a league member.
The championship put the finishing touch on a season in which the Tornadoes had to win their final regular season game to get into the playoffs and then had to overcome the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds in the South Division to reach the championship game.
Under a steady rain the Ridgway Elkers came to town with two things in mind: spoil the senior recognition night for the Kane Wolves and improve their positioning for a potential playoff berth.Â
Prior to the start of the game, these four seniors, Gunnar Emberg, Will Hulings, Josh Kibbie and Mike Swartwood, were honored in an emotional senior recognition ceremony.
With emotions high the Wolves and the good crowd were ready to get things under way. With the field in very bad condition both teams would find the footing really tough.Â

I've just taken a similar step, leaving the engineering company I worked for after 9 years to become the owner and CEO of my own publishing company, Grey Gecko Press [greygeckopress.com].
This move was inspired, at least in part, by those such as yourself, Kellett and Kurtz. I happened to meet all three of you at Comic-con 2011 (here's the photo [on.fb.me] of me and Kurtz you so kindly took that day), and you were all without exception nice, professional and just generally awesome guys, which told me I was - again, at least in part - in awesome company.
It's scary, not having a regular paycheck for the first time in 15 years, and I don't even have a family to feed. But every morning (all two of them so far), I wake up and ask myself one very simple and yet profound question:
Could I have done anything else?
For me, the answer is a clear and resounding "No!" You're a great artist and storyteller, and though it is, as you say, thrilling and scary, you are ready for it.
Congratulations, my friend. Welcome to the world of the free. It's freakin' sweet!

On the surface, diapers may not seem like a big deal but it's health issue and a financial one.To get to work, many parents rely on daycare. To get their baby in daycare, they need disposable diapers.Most daycares don't accept cloth ones. That's why diaper banks are opening across metro Atlanta to help parents take care of their babies.For Stephanie Curry baby number three, Quentiana, is her lucky charm."I have a 13-year-old daughter, a 10-year-old son, and a beautiful 9-month-old baby," said Curry.Stephanie was a teen mom with her first two, living with her parents who helped her out. She's now a single mom working as a daycare teacher and she pays the bills."She's going to have to have diapers, I'm going to have to go to work to make sure she has them, as well as, doctors' appointments, shots and medicine that's needed," said Curry. The diapers alone add up to close to $100 a month, and they're not covered by the federal food assistance programs, which leaves a lot of financially struggling parents running short.Elise and Hershell Tolson run Premier Preschool Academy in Austell."One of our major concerns is that when a child is not changed regularly, that can cause all kinds of problems," said Elise Tolson. They ask parents to supply their child with enough diapers for a week, which is about 30. "We did have a few issues where children would come to us in the morning, their diapers were soaking wet, and the teachers would let Mr. Tolson and me know, 'Something is going on here. This child needs some help,'" said Tolson. New research shows almost a third of lower-income mothers feel they don't have enough diapers for their children. Psychologist Wendy Dickinson of Grow Therapy says that's tough on moms and dads."Parents have a hard-wired desire to provide for their child's basic needs, things like food, clothing, shelter, diapers," said Dickinson. "And when they can't do that, they experience negative emotions such as anxiety, sadness and a sense of failure."The Tolsons were using their own money to buy extra diapers for parents who couldn't afford them when they were contacted by the Atlanta Diaper Relief Program."We just couldn't believe it because nothing is free in this world," said Elise.But these diapers are free. Premier receives about 2,000 to 3,000 a month to stock their shelves and send them home with families."Ever since then, we have not had an issue with any of the children running out of diapers," said Elise Tolson. Premier is just one of a handful of diaper banks across metro Atlanta, and Stephanie is grateful for the help. "It's very important. Because the thing is, if you can't provide for your children, who else can," Curry said.
