LOGANVILLE -- On Tuesday afternoon, students worked on producing radio commercials, recording voice-overs and creating sound effects for the spots.
In a laboratory down the hall, students tested fecal matter for parasites.
Just a typical day in the Grayson Technical Education Program Building.
"This is not shop. This is not your father's technical education class," said Tim Johnson, the music technology instructor. "This is very high tech. ... It's equivalent to a college-level class."
The Grayson Technical Education Program, housed on the Grayson High School campus, offers more than a dozen innovative courses that use state-of-the-art technology, equipment and facilities.
The music technology lab uses professional music software and technology to introduce students to composing, digital recording and music editing. Johnson said the class is challenging but fun.
"This industry is very competitive. The more experience they get, the better," Johnson said. "This can either springboard them toward the career, or they can think, 'This is a good experience, but I want to go somewhere else.'"
Nicole O'Mara, the veterinary science instructor, said her course prepares students who are interested in studying veterinary medicine or veterinary technology, and students learn about anatomy, genetics, reproduction, digestion and nutrition, health and more.
"I look at it more as hands-on, minds-on learning," O'Mara said. "They're getting to experience this stuff. They learn how to take blood. They learn how to bandage. ... We talk about it, and they experience it. ... It's not just sitting in a classroom and reading a book and getting lectured on it."
The students also learn that veterinary science is not just about dealing with cute puppies and kittens.
"It's not always healthy and happy," she said. "It's blood and guts and gore. It gives them the opportunity to see it before they go to college and really commit themselves to it and (then) realize that's not what they want to do."
Savannah Huston, a student in the digital media design and animation program, said she chose to take a course at Grayson Tech because her high school does not offer a similar program.
"Technical education is something you choose to do rather than are forced to do," she said.
Meghan Shrope-Eady said she enrolled in the course to further her artistic ability.
"This is something you couldn't normally do in regular classes," she said. "You're more involved in computers. You're learning more of what you'll be doing in the real word."
Leslie Bevan, the landscape design and management instructor, said it's a stigma that technical education exists only for students who are not enrolled in college preparatory work. She said her course, which focuses on horticulture and landscaping, gives students industry experience that will help them get a job when they graduate.
"Any kind of career prep we can offer the kids, I think they're going to have a leg up...," she said. "In this economy, we need to do everything we can (to help them)."
Grayson Tech will have an open house at 6:30 p.m. Thursday for interested students and their parents. Courses can be taken by juniors and seniors in Gwinnett County.

11 Ways to Cut Calories From a Lunchtime Sandwich
Written on December 20, 2011 at 7:00 am , by fitsugar
Want a balanced lunch that offers fiber and protein? A sandwich has your back, but choose the wrong add-ons and condiments, and it's a whole day's worth of calories in a few bites. Here are ways to cut calories from this favorite lunchable — they may not be huge amounts, but keep in mind that little bits definitely add up.
- Whole-wheat pita (170) instead of two slices of whole-wheat bread (200): saves 30 calories
- Spinach wrap (180) instead of a sun-dried tomato and basil wrap (210): saves 30 calories
- Two pieces of Romaine lettuce (10) instead of a whole-wheat wrap (120): saves 110 calories
- Go open-faced: Eat one side of a whole wheat roll (190) instead of the whole roll (380): saves 190 calories
- Two ounces of sliced roasted turkey (60) instead of two ounces of sliced ham (70): saves 10 calories
- Go for two ounces of sliced roasted chicken (60) or two ounces of sliced roast beef (60) instead of two ounces of sliced pastrami (82): saves 22 calories
Keep reading for more ways to save sandwich calories.

Interview with Jill Beute Koverman, McKissick Museum - Walter Stephen's work / Review
/ Read more reviews in Ceramics Now - Issue Two
Interview with Jill Beute Koverman, Chief Curator of Collections and Research, McKissick Museum - Walter B. Stephen's work
by Vasi Hîrdo
You have been working at the University of South Carolina's McKissick Museum for over ten years. What are the main responsibilities and attributes of being the Chief Curator of Collections & Research?
Jill Beute Koverman: As Chief Curator of Collections and Research, my responsibilities include overseeing the research and care for the permanent collections. The permanent collections include natural science collections (rocks, minerals, fossils, meteorites and shells) and material culture collections which include fine art, furniture, textiles (clothing, quilts, other domestic textiles, baskets, shoes, accessories), ceramics, glass, metal objects, political materials, silver and objects relating to the history of the University of South Carolina. I guide and implement the collecting activities of the museum in terms of new acquisitions and research, identify long-term care needs of the collections in terms of conservation and storage, and work with my colleagues on various exhibition projects. My research focus is on Southern pottery but I'm knowledgeable about traditional basket traditions of the South, South Carolina history and politics, and University history. In a mid-size institution like McKissick Museum, and particularly at a University, it is important to constantly learn about the various types of museum collections.
During the 26th of May and the 27th of July, USC's McKissick Museum will host a very important exhibition of rare 20th century ceramics made by Walter B. Stephen. Tell us about the heritage of Walter's work.
/ Read the press release of the exhibition.
Walter Stephen was born in Nebraska in 1876. His family moved to 100 acres of land in Shelby County, Tennessee in 1897. It was on this property where he discovered layers of pink, white and yellow clay. His intellectual and creative curiosity was fostered by his mother. Nellie Stephen was an amateur artist who taught blackboard art and painting. Walter did not begin working with clay until he was twenty-seven years old (1903). Together, Walter and his mother began experimenting with the clay and the decorating process. It is also possible that the two had seen George Ohr, "the Mad Potter of Biloxi," demonstrating his pottery skills at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1904. Originally named, "Stephen and Son," they renamed their pottery "Nonconnah" after the local creek. The forms were typical decorative vases and pitchers of the period. The decoration was different as Mrs. Stephen's painted layers of porcelain slip onto the wares, often adding colored oxides for leaves and branches. This paste on paste, or cameo, technique was similar to the original method employed by Josiah Wedgwood for his Jasperwares. In 1910, Walter's parents died and he continued to operate the Nonconnah pottery in Tennessee until 1912. A year later, he moved to the Skyland community of North Carolina, south of Asheville, and established the Nonconnah Pottery in partnership with Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Pine Ryman. At this iteration of the Nonconnah Pottery, Stephen continued to work at the potter's wheel, creating matte glazed cameo wares until 1916. The Ryman's operated the Nonconnah until 1918, producing molded and slab constructed wares with simple blue and brown glazes.

It would be almost a decade after Stephen's departure from Nonconnah before he established the Pisgah Forest Pottery. During this period, he became closely associated with Oscar L. Bachelder of the Omar Khayyam Pottery. Walter worked for a short time with Bachelder but did not want to make utilitarian pottery. It was also during the early 1920s, that he was experimenting with local clay,glazes and firing techniques. Fragments from his Arden home indicate his interest in the Chinese celadon and red glazes.

Congrats to Matt Kemp
Matt Kemp has pretty much made the National League All-Star team, this after the fans picked Shane Victorino in the Final Vote over Pablo Sandoval. MLB was already pushing NL manager Charlie Manuel to pick Kemp over his own player Victorino even if Sandoval had won the vote.
From the Bucks County Courier Times earlier today:
The voting ends today, but Victorino still figures to have a shot to become a first-time All-Star if he loses out to Sandoval because New York Mets outfielder Carlos Beltran announced on Wednesday that he'll skip the All-Star Game due to injury.
"That would make his chances better," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said.
Manuel, who will manage the NL All-Stars, will pick Victorino if it's his call, but he thought Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp may get in because he finished higher in the players' vote.
"One of the things that the league office was kind of concerned about is Kemp had more player votes and that plays some kind of part in it," Manuel said. "I have to wait and see."

Apple shares keep zooming forward
The company now blows away all other techs in terms of market value.
Apple's market value is now at $330.9 billion, about $102 billion higher than Microsoft's value. That's huge. The market cap of Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) is only $105 billion, writes MG Siegler at TechCrunch. "Apple is now worth an HP more than every other tech company," Siegler adds.
Apple and Microsoft both had market caps of about $227 billion in May, Siegler writes. But since then, Apple has gained more than $100 billion in value, while Microsoft has gained almost $2 billion. (Microsoft owns and publishes MSN Money.)
Microsoft's growth has been so slow, in fact, that it could end up getting passed by Google (GOOG) and perhaps even IBM (IBM), Siegler writes.
Post continues after video:
Google shares have been on a huge run, and its market cap is now about $202 billion. IBM's value is in the same range.
Apple still hasn't grabbed the title of most valuable company. That belongs to Exxon Mobil (XOM), which at $83.10 a share is enjoying a market cap of $428.2 billion. So Apple needs to gain nearly $100 billion more to catch up.
But look at Exxon's one-year performance. As hot as Apple is, I think Exxon has a safe lead.

I'm a huge history buff. I've always been fascinated by the past. I was the kid in high school that would read the entire American History book before the end of the first semester.
Yet today I learned about something I have never heard of before, and it involves the US Postal Service and giant arrows.
A friend shared this blog on social media describing giant arrows, spaced every 10-20 miles across the U.S. It's really a fascinating read.
Here's a quick summary: after World War I, the United States Postal Service began using Army war surplus planes and former Army pilots to transport mail across the country. Before the days of radio, GPS, and smartphones, it was difficult for pilots to know where they were during flight.
In 1924, the federal government funded enormous concrete arrows to be built every 10 miles or so along established airmail routes to help the pilots trace their way across America in bad weather conditions and particularly at night, which was a more efficient time to fly.
Today, few remain. One was actually reconstructed. Check out all about the Giant Arrows here at Messy Nessy Chic's blog .

A special package for the tired diver, focusing on tight calf and strained back muscles. First, the skin is pampered with a Re-hydrating Coconut Delight and then the special Scuba Soother Massage will relax and soften tired muscles. During the break we serve iced apple tea with a fruit platter.
The treatment starts with a Serena Foot Soother, a soak in Comfort Green Tea Bath Blitz and then a stimulating Foot Massage. The Anti-Stress Head, Neck & Shoulder massage relieves soreness and stress-related tension. For ladies we have a Pampering Facial treatment and Skin Fitness for Men; both give a fresh and healthy complexion. Relax and take a couple of moment with a cup of Lemon and Lime Herbal Tea before returning to reality.
Allow the rejuvenating effects of hydrotherapy to prepare you for our highly therapeutic, Ayurveda inspired massage. Medicated herbal oil stimulates the Marmas, the body's vital pressure points. The body's points are then massaged with the therapist's feet and then by hand with long sweeping strokes. The treatment is completed with the application of a traditional Aryurvedic healing herbal body, leaving the skin saturated with antioxidants.
To complete the coordination of mind, body and spirit experience you will undergo a Serena Dhara treatment - the process of running a fine stream of warm oil on the "third eye" area of the forehead. It has a reflex balancing effect on the deepest recesses of the brain and can induce a blissful state of serenity and expanded consciousness. As 'quiet time' following this package Herbal tea and seasonal fruit will be served in the relaxation area.
The Udvarthina Herbal Body Scrub will shed the dead layers of skin with a thorough body exfoliation, getting ready for optimum sun tanning. In the After-Sun Cucumber Wrap a cooling puree of cucumber, blended with soothing eucalyptus oil is applied to the entire body. A highly enjoyable and refreshing treatment.
The Re-Hydrating Coconut Delight should be taken on one of the last days of your vacation as this treatment is ideal for dry skin and hair with the moisturizing properties of young coconut flesh and coconut water.
The best way to "spoil" yourself! A mild scrub made of wild mountain honey and freshly roasted sesame seeds will gently exfoliate your skin before continuing with the soothing Serenity Full Body massage offering a selection of 4 different Aromatherapy oils. To complete the pampering a natural Honey-Cucumber facial will remove the last traces of a hectic daily schedule. We serve a fresh young coconut drink with tropical fruit during the interlude.
The famous Shiro Dhara is believed to cure anything from insomnia to mental insanity. We have interpreted this traditional Ayurveda cure to suit a holiday environment. To reap the fullest effect of this treatment it should be taken for three days with plenty of rest in between - a perfect excuse to retire to a peaceful nap in between. A selection of herbal teas and fruits will be offered at the end of each session.

Apple Collapses 6% on No Special Dividend? No Chance
Margie is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Oracle has recently joined the ranks of companies paying out dividends early, also known as a special dividend, announcing it planned to pay out next year's dividend this year, a total of $867 million to shareholders before year's end.
Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS), Costco $7 a share, Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ: WYNN) $7.50, all announced special dividends.
Why All The Specials?
That's pretty simple; companies are anticipating higher dividend tax rates in 2013 as President Obama tries to raise money to pay-off the government debt. Many American companies have built up huge cash positions, and this is probably the best time to get their shareholders the money, especially-
1) those investors for who treat stocks as an income producing asset (i.e.- use the income to pay-off needed bills
2) for insiders who own tons of shares, and want to fund extravagant lifestyles without selling stock. (Larry Ellison of Oracle and Steve Wynn for example)
Apple Falls
According to this column, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) shares, which are down nearly 5% today as I write this, have partially fallen because they have not announced a special dividend. "As soon as funds became convinced that (Apple CEO) Tim Cook wasn't going to participate (in the special dividend rush), they began transitioning out of Apple for the short run."
Okay, now I'm perplexed. Apple already pays a dividend, and despite having the largest wad of cash in the world, management is under no guideline that they must distribute the funds. It can stay on the balance sheet for all I care.
So, let's do an analysis of the situation: if investors are selling off the stock to the tune of 5% because they haven't announced a "special," then investors are being completely irrational and it represents a buying opportunity.
Or, a group of people are selling a large chunk of shares for reasons privy only to them and offering this as an excuse to well-placed analysts who get might try to get the public, or less savvy hedge funds to buy their shares based on what they want others to think is "irrationality." I'm no conspiracy theorist, but based on the history of big player honesty in the market, this would be relative child's play.
Do Dividends Really Matter?
Yes and no. Dividends take capital from a company's balance sheet, distributing it to their shareholders, and the price of the stock adjusts downward automatically to account for the payout.
On the other hand, with all the financial shenanigans done by Wall Street accountants, a dividend is a sign of a viable company that is actually producing results and cash.
It was recently asked of me in response to the following column why Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-B) likes dividend producing stocks, but doesn't pay one.
Well, as I wrote above, buying into a dividend payer means Buffett is buying an equity that is less likely to be cooking their books. Also, Buffett has announced on numerous occasions he would issue a dividend only if he didn't believe that he could invest that money at a higher rate of return than his shareholders could. (which is unlikely given his historical track record)
Also, the notoriously tight fisted Buffett doesn't payout because he doesn't want to have his investors pay taxes on the money.
Dovetailing Back
So what about the companies that do pay? Wynn Resorts and Las Vegas Sands are in the process of building multi-billion dollar casinos in Asia and taking on debt to do so. Taking on debt while releasing cash? Why? Does this make any sense? Surprisingly, the answer is quite possibly.
1) Management wants to placate investors
2) More importantly, it's possible management wants to take on debt at historically low rates, believing, quietly believing that interest rates and inflation will be rising dramatically.
Take Away
What I hope you take away from this is a better understanding of dividends, and the reasons behind them. As for the Apple sell-off, it's either a buying opportunity or a seller PR scam. Just be aware when you hear "news" that a lot of it might be empty hype, or worse, misinformation.

On June 18, 2011, more than 2,300 Subaru enthusiasts in more than 1,300 Subaru vehicles met at Stafford Motor Speedway, Stafford Springs, Connecticut. However, numbers aren't everything. Here's a look at that event from the points of view of two young men who are new to Subaru.
One Big Subie Family: A Recap of Wicked Big
by Kevin Walsh
I had a great time traveling to this year's Wicked Big Meet. For those unfamiliar with the event, Wicked Big Meet is the largest Subaru-driven enthusiast festival in America. A guy with a WRX logo shaved on his head and a stretch Tribeca limo were some of the day's unique sights, not to mention, the countless custom WRX and STI models on display.
The Wave
Going into the interview process recently for my job at Subaru of America, I had read numerous testimonials of the close-knit community shared by Subaru owners. Picture this: Two complete strangers exchange waves as they drive past one another.
Why did they wave? In doing so, they acknowledged the fact that they are linked by the same automobile brand. I read in a blog post that it is common for Subaru owners to share this encounter of waving at fellow Subies. Hearing of this affectionate bond really stuck with me. Truthfully, it was a main selling point of why I wanted to work for Subaru.
Still, this brief exchange was foreign for me and difficult to comprehend at first. In talking with my colleague, Jake Picken, we both would never consider waving to a passing driver in the car models we drive. It was interesting to see these generosities firsthand at the Wicked Big Meet. These random acts of Subieness (which I like to label them), are a testament to Subaru and its efforts.
High Quality
Of course, we pride ourselves here at Subaru in producing high-quality and durable All-Wheel Drive vehicles. That is understood. Yet after interacting at the event, I noticed something that hadn't dawned on me before. More important than the product itself, the Subaru brand attracts a high-quality owner to drive our products.
What do I mean by "high-quality owners"? This is how I would describe a Subaru owner after attending the Wicked Big Meet: Our owners possess a welcoming/outgoing personality and passionate drive like no other. They are heavily involved in their own hobbies and are always seeking the thrill of adventure. Whether it is camping in the backwoods or tinkering with their performance WRX/STI models, our owners are always busy doing what they love. Moreover, Subaru drivers are emotionally invested in their vehicles – so much so that some owners even talk about their cars as if they are living and breathing entities within themselves.
For example, Jake and I met one couple whose Subaru passion seemed unmatched. We were discussing with them the Badge of Ownership program at the time. When asked to name a number, they had lost count of how many Subaru vehicles they have owned through the years. They counted around 15 model names effortlessly on the spot, so Jake and I knew they were legitimate. Nevertheless, when all four of us ran out of fingers and toes to count with, they replied, "We have owned probably like 50+ Subies."
To me this was astonishing! It was great to hear the excited tone in their voices. They talked about Subies as if the vehicles were living parts of their relationship, almost like another family member. It was great to hear their enthusiasm for the cars!

TORONTO -- Injuries hit the Maple Leafs hard against the Rangers.
Winger David Clarkson and defenceman Carl Gunnarsson were each knocked out of Saturday night's game. Both were injured in the first period, and the team announced late in the second that neither would return.
Clarkson suffered an apparent left foot injury, which the team called only a lower-body injury. Gunnarsson left with an upper-body injury.
Clarkson blocked a shot from New York defenceman Michael Del Zotto midway through the first period. He hobbled to the bench and seemed to be in a lot of pain once there.
The 29-year-old, who has three goals and five assists this season, went to the bench shortly thereafter. Clarkson returned to the bench later and took one 21-second shift early in the second period before leaving again.
Minutes after Clarkson was injured, Gunnarsson took a hit from Carl Hagelin on his left shoulder, and the 27-year-old's right shoulder was rammed into the glass.
With Clarkson out, Jerry D'Amigo took his spot on Toronto's third line alongside Nikolai Kulemin and Jay McClement. With Gunnarsson out, Jake Gardiner filled in on the top defensive pairing alongside captain Dion Phaneuf.
Gunnarsson had a scare during pre-game warm-ups when a shot from Clarkson rang off the crossbar and deflected to hit him in the head. He did not leave the ice at the time.

"With MATLAB, we simulated the intended system and fine-tuned it at the early stages of implementation, enabling us to develop critical engineering programs that met requirements on the first iteration."
Rafi Nave, Given Imaging
Every year, diseases of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract account for more than 30 million office visits in the United States alone. GI tract disorders are easy to cure in their early stages but are difficult to diagnose: Endoscopy and other common test procedures can be so painful or invasive that patients often avoid such exams.
Israeli biomedical company Given Imaging has developed the PillCam® video capsule, a minimally invasive diagnostic tool that substantially improves visual imaging of the small intestine. The swallowable capsule contains a tiny video camera that transmits digital pictures from the GI tract to a receiver fitted against the patient's body. The resulting pictures can be sent electronically to an attending physician anywhere in the world.
Given Imaging relied on MATLAB® and other MathWorks tools throughout the development of the PillCam capsule. "Because the video capsule was technically complex, MATLAB was essential for us in writing algorithms, testing and checking systems, and planning and building the PillCam," says Rafi Nave, vice president of R&D at Given Imaging.
The inventor of the capsule, Dr. Gabriel Iddan, set out to develop an imaging technique that would enable examination of the small intestine without subjecting the patient to pain or discomfort.
The disposable PillCam SB 2 capsule contains a miniaturized color video camera, a miniature battery, an antenna, and a radio transmitter. The images of the small intestine, captured at a rate of about two per second as the camera passes through the GI tract, are transmitted by radio frequency to an array of sensors on a belt worn around the patient's waist.
Over a period of about eight hours, the camera captures 50,000 images. These images are downloaded to a PC workstation equipped with Given Imaging's proprietary RAPID® (Reporting and Processing of Images and Data) software. This software processes the data and produces a video that the physician can efficiently review to look for abnormalities.
The Given Imaging team needed tools that would enable them to evaluate different algorithms quickly and efficiently.
Given Imaging's development team selected MathWorks tools because they provided an environment that enabled precise, convenient and, most important, rapid development.
With MATLAB, the team developed and verified algorithms for decoding the information transmitted over the recorder and processing the images. They also used the fast Fourier analysis functions in MATLAB. Throughout the development process, they relied heavily on the data visualization capabilities in MATLAB, specifically, functions for creating contour plots, line plots, and histograms.
The team used Image Processing Toolbox™ for the feasibility study, development, and refinement phases of the image processing project. In addition, the team relied on several capabilities in Signal Processing Toolbox™, including localization, to refine design parameters for visual comparison and for preliminary visualization of algorithm results.
The FDA-approved PillCam SB 2 video capsule has been successfully used with over 1 million patients in 70 countries. The capsule endoscopy procedure has been well-received by patients, and physicians report that the capsule produces excellent images of the small intestine.
Given Imaging continues to use MATLAB for image enhancement and image segmentation and classification, as well as for refining the PillCam capsule. The team also uses Image Processing Toolbox to develop new image processing features and capabilities.

They found their vending machines covered with police tape. Emily Freshman didn't realize what happened when she walked in die building for her 10 a.m. class. "I thought it was a Halloween decoration," Freshman said, referring to the police tape ' and evidence stickers marking the machines. Several students said they thought die same tiling, especially with 1 Ialloween days away It was the remnants of a weekend burglary on campus. "It makes yon kind of on edge thinking about it," Freshman said. A total of seven vending machines appeared to have been pried apart near the area of die cash deposit slot. Broken plastic, bent metal, and black residue marked the wreckage path in all three locations. "This is out-and-out burglary," said Monika Rodie, manager of the more that ISO campus vending Machines. She said often, when they have problems witli vending machines, its just vandalism. "People stick their hands up there to see what they can get," Rodie said. "But this they were just after the money, which wasn't much." Rodie said the vending machine cash boxes are emptied Fridays, and are replaced with enough quarters to make change for the upcoming week. Rodie said they got no more than $100 between the machines, and only one machine had merchandise stolen from it, which she said was unusual. The damage, mi (he other hand, could be massive. Rodie said she didn't know whether the machines hail been totaled or not, bill the damage was obvious. "They just opened them up like cans with a can-opener,".Rodie said. The valueof the damage, ifall seven machines had to be replaced, would be approximately $18,700: two $1300 Coke elevator machines, two $2800 Dasani machines and three $1500 snack machines. "1 don't know if they can be fixed, or if they will have to be replaced," Rodie said. The seven machines were removed from the buildings to assess the damage. Rodie said she didn't know how long it would take to replace or repair the machines, or how much the damage would be.

The point of the contest was to see which university, given the same amount of time, could have more donors. "It's a proven way to attract donors," said John Petersen, Public Relations Manager for the American Red Cross Blood Sendees Division. "It happens all across the country between many universities. The Red Cross is happy to organize this type of drive. We always have a need for donations and this is a good way to get awareness about a drive." This is the first time WSU has faced UVU in a Blood Battle, and the first time UVU has participated in one. "We hope that there will be a good turnout," Petersen said. "Unlike BYU and U of U there isn't an existing rivalry between the schools. UVU is trying to prove themselves as a university through the type of community involvement that Weber has a long history of." The blood that is collected will first go to the hospitals in the area the Red Cross has a contract with. The Red Cross must first serve the needs of those hospitals with which they have a standing contract. Any . left over will be sent wherever it is needed, such as hurricane victims or overseas aid.

Eteuati is scheduled to appear in court Nov. 3 on charges of third-degree felony assault and a misdemeanor count of failure to remain at the scene of an accident. Assistant Davis County Prosecutor Steve Major says Eteuati was part of a large group of people watching a fight at a park on July 1 and was attacked. Major says that while leaving the scene, Eteuati swerved his car into a group of people, seriously injuring one. A warrant was issued for Eteuati on Oct. 15 after he failed to show up for a court date. Weber State suspended Eteuati from the team indefinitely on Friday. Defense attorney Deven Coggins said Monday he was waiting on police reports on the assault charge and a 2006 fraud charge before commenting. He did say he felt Eteauti's cases could be resolved enough to get him reinstated to the team.

By Gentry Reinhart asst. sports editor I 77ie Signpost Several women have taken powerful positions on the political stage in the past few years. Sarah Palin, Nancy Pelosi and Hilary Clinton are just three women who have broken ground in different areas of politics. "I think it's a great thing," said Marcie Kay, Weber State University junior and womens studies minor. "I think it's great that we finally seem to be making some progress toward equality for women, when it comes to politics." Regardless of political views, each of these three women have broken ground and set precedents in their respective political arenas. Nancy Pelosi is the first female, Italian-American, and Californian speaker of the House of Representatives. Currently, Pelosi ranks second in line for the presidency following Vice President Dick Cheney, making her the highest-ranking woman in American history. "I think that it's not enough for any woman to be elected into these powerful political positions," Kay said. "I think it has to be women who show that they are qualified. We can't just grab any woman, and put her up there, because I think that would be a step backward, instead of forward." When it comes to females in politics, Pelosi, Clinton and Palin have all had successful careers. In 2006, Palin became the first female governor of Alaska, and, prior to that, served two terms on the Wasilla, Alaska, city council, and two terms as the mayor manager of Wasilla. She is now setting precedent as the first female Vice Presidential candidate in American history. Nancy Pelosi has been a U.S. congresswoman representing California's eighth district for over 20 years. And U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton has represented the people of New York since See Women page 5 Student Senate talks parking Davis shuttle, construction workers, veterans parking passes discussed By Chris Brown correspondent 1 The Signpost There was one recurring item on the senate's agenda on Monday afternoon: parking. From the veterans' resolution, to concerns of construction employees taking student parking spots, and ending with the issue of the Davis campus shuttle being cancelled, the senate had a whirlwind of discussion. The senate first tackled die veterans' resolution, which would code veterans as seniors in the parking pass lottery. "This is a way that Weber State University can say 'thank you' to the veterans and other military personnel," said Legislative Vice-Chair Daron Nelson. The senate was joined by other students and . current military personnel who were there supporting the resolution. However, the resolution had opposition as well. " I still b elieve that after parking in 'W' lots for three years, seniors should have a fair chance to park in an 'A' parking lot their senior year," said WSU Health Sciences Senator Jamey Price. The senate voted on the resolution after a short rebuttal from Nelson. With a two-thirds vote needed, the resolution did not pass with an 11-8 vote. Parking was again a topic of discussion when issues forum See Senate page 5

As the weather gets warmer, the season for relaxing in a hammock with a book and a cold drink is approaching.
Luckily, lovers of letters have a collection of local litterateurs' works from which to choose their summer reading. Among them are offerings from three Scotts Valley authors, Wei Wei, Fred Reiss and Diane Dirksen.
"Tracing Our Footsteps: Fifteen Tales of Hope, Struggle, and Triumph," by Wei Wei
In a recently published memoir, Wei recounts the journey of her father, Yong Da, as he acclimates to life in the United States after leaving China in 2004, following the death of his wife.
The book follows Wei, a resident of Scotts Valley, through a five-year period as she helps her father adjust a new environment and they re-establish their relationship. It reflects upon the personal values, perspectives and priorities of father and daughter, offering insight into the experiences and struggles of a contemporary immigrant family.
The book, Wei's third, is self-published through Friesen Press and can be bought online from the publisher and from Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble Booksellers. It is expected to be available soon at Bookshop Santa Cruz, 1520 Pacific Ave., in Santa Cruz. ($12.99 paperback, $19.99 hardcover at www.friesenpress.com/bookstore)
"Today Cancer, Tomorrow The World," by Fred Reiss
Reiss, the prolific Scotts Valley author and comedian, takes readers along in his latest published work as he experiences the battle for his life against cancer.
Reiss approaches a potentially heavy subject with a light heart, showing readers how to use humor, love and dreams to make the difficult process of cancer treatment more bearable.
Published by Santa Cruz'n Press, the book is available for purchase on Reiss' website, www.fredforyourhead.com. A digital copy for Kindle e-readers can be purchased from Amazon.com. ($14.95 paperback, 99 cents e-book)
"The Chronicles of Infatuated Women," by Diane Dirksen
In a new novel by Dirksen, a Scotts Valley resident, a pair of friends experiences a renewal of spirit while traveling in the Isles of Scilly, off the southeastern tip of England.
As they explore Scilly, the women — united by recent divorces, middle age and a love of England — rediscover themselves and gain a restored sense of life and romance.
The book, published by Recreation Sales Publishing of Aptos, is available for purchase at the Capitola Book Café, 1475 41st Ave., in Capitola, at Bookshop Santa Cruz and online at www.rec-lakes.com. ($14.95)

songs for supernatural > who will love me now? by pj harvey (x)In the forest, is a monster
It has done terrible things
So in the wood, it's hiding
And this is the song it sings
Who will love me now?
Who will ever love me?
Who will say to me
"You are my desire, I set you free?"In the forest, is a monster
And it looks so very much like me
Will someone hear me singing?
Please save me, please rescue me
'Where's your angel?'

Dean shot up in bed, a silent scream caught in his throat. He could hear that voice, that voice screaming his name. That face imprinted in his memory, a flicker of something that haunted him every time he closed his eyes.
No matter how many times he told himself that it was Cas who let go, that he had tried his hardest. That he didn't mean to. That there was no other option. It still stuck with him, it was still his own fault. He should have held on tighter, he should have done everything… He should have done more. He should have stayed behind.
The hunter stood and walked to the mirror to stare at his own unfamiliar features. He looked so different. In many ways he was stronger, and others so much less of the man he used to be. Who was he kidding, he was nothing like the man he used to be.
Let me bottom line it for you.

Article from Sorted.org.nz
Many Kiwis look forward to the freedom that comes with retirement, but most of us don't know how much we need to save to enjoy the kind of retirement lifestyle we want.
A Nielsen survey, commissioned by the Retirement Commission, found 42 percent of New Zealanders hadn't calculated how much money they need to save for retirement.
The survey also found 84 percent of 45- to 59-year-olds didn't know how much NZ Super a single person living alone would receive. And 81 percent didn't know how much a couple aged 65 or older would receive.
With each year, more and more of us head towards retirement. This year will see the first baby boomers (40,000 people) turning 65. In 10 years' time 52,000 people will turn 65 in one year. To be able to enjoy the retirement you want, it's important to work out how much money you'll need to support your lifestyle.
Around 40 percent of today's retirees live on NZ Super alone currently $333 per week for a single person and $511 per week for couples (after tax at M rate). And another 20 percent live on NZ Super and approximately another $100 a week of other income.
If you want more than that for your retirement, it's time to work out a savings plan. Think about the sources of income you will have besides NZ Super. You may have joined KiwiSaver or another work-related savings scheme or you may have another savings plan or investments.
Also consider the cost of your ongoing expenses. Will you still be paying a mortgage or renting when you retire? There is home maintenance as well as rates and other bills to think about in addition to the money you'll need for your hobbies, travel, transport and healthcare.
Sorted.org.nz's Quick Retirement calculator can show you how much you need to save and our KiwiSaver calculator will show you how much you could save by age 65 depending on how much you contribute.
The most important thing to do, is to do something. It is never too late to make a plan no matter what your age.

The Bankruptcy of a Promising Psychologist
Tender Is the Night is another important work written by Fitzgerald, the spokesman of Jazz Age. It ranks 28th among the best 100 novels in the Twentieth Century. The book takes the author years of hard work, because when he is writing it, his family experiences lots of vicissitudes—his wife's insanity and economic problems. At the very beginning, he embraces high expectation of the novel, because he wants to regain his fame by it. But the expectation is spoiled by the cold receptions among readers and critics. Because of the loose structure and the unclear explanation of Dick's bankruptcy, many critics and readers severely inveigh against the novel. This paper wants to illustrate the process of Dick's bankruptcy from a promising psychologist with the aid of bildungsroman theory. At first, at the impact of two positive guides, Dick is a rising elite. But owing to the personal weakness and outer seductions, the innocent Dick meets sophisticated circumstances and goes bankrupt at last.

Fall/ Winter 2012
Dear Friends, Alumni, and Colleagues:
The approximately 11,500 students in our fall 2012 enrollment join us at a time when our historic campus is receiving an extraordinary level of positive local and national attention. They are the first group of students to have the privilege of studying and attending classes in our new North Hall and Library, a nearly 100,000 square-foot, classically designed building, well equipped with twenty-first century instructional technology. We celebrated the completion of the first major new construction on our University Heights campus, since it became BCC's home, with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony on September 21, attracting some 250 people.
The library opening event received major media coverage, including two feature articles in The New York Times, one focusing on the building itself and another profiling artist Daniel Hauben, who was commissioned to create the Bronx-themed art now permanently installed in the library.
Less than a month later, our campus further distinguished itself when it became one of twenty sites in 2012 to receive National Historic Landmark status. Announced by Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, our University Heights campus was cited as a "nationally significant example of Beaux-Arts architecture in the United States." I am proud that BCC is the first community college campus to be so honored.
Our primary focus remains on student success, committing ourselves to expanding those practices and promoting a culture that helps more students achieve their academic and career goals. Among the important initiatives in this area:
- On October 12, BCC's Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology hosted "Threshold to Threshold: ePortfolio and Active Learning from the First Year to Transfer," a conference drawing nearly 100 participants from several CUNY colleges. The gathering drew inspiration from our own hugely promising First Year Seminars, which have grown from last spring's pilot version to an impressive complement of 20 classes now serving 500 students. By providing a road map for student success in the very first months of their BCC experience, the First Year Seminars are aimed at increasing our retention and graduation rates.
- BCC is now part of the Bronx STEM Scholars Program. Over the summer, four  science, technology, engineering, and math students from BCC completed a laboratory research training program at Lehman College, which culminated in the presentation of a paper based on their studies. When these young scholars receive their associate degree, they will transfer to Lehman to complete their bachelor's degree. The ultimate goal of the program is to add to the minority presence in an increasingly science-oriented workplace.
Talented and committed faculty and staff are critical to student completion and graduation. I welcome opportunities to highlight the work of those dedicated to student development.
At this year's Convocation on September 14, I had the pleasure of presenting our first two Employee Achievement Awards, which will now be a regular feature of every BCC Fall Convocation. The Extra Mile Award, which "recognizes an employee who has implemented an initiative that has resulted in, or will result in, increased service to students or increased productivity and effectiveness of business operations," went to Ediltrudys Ruiz, director of Information Services in the Department of Information Technology. The Making a Difference Award, given to "an adjunct faculty member who, during the past academic year, has made a contribution to the college community beyond the classroom," was given to Donovan Corke, an adjunct lecturer in the Department of Physics and Technology. Nominations for next year's awards can be submitted to my office by any member of the BCC faculty and staff.
Strong leadership is also critical to the success of our student body. Dr. Athos K. Brewer has been appointed Vice President of Student Affairs. Most recently, Dr. Brewer was dean of students at Northern Virginia Community College. Â I am also pleased to have named Dr. Eddy Bayardelle as vice president for Institutional Advancement. Dr. Bayardelle comes to BCC after serving as president of the Merrill Lynch Foundation, where he oversaw the financial services firm's education-focused global philanthropic efforts. I also named Dr. David L. Hadaller our new interim vice president of Academic Affairs. Dr. Hadaller has been a valued member of the BCC community since joining us last year as acting dean of Academic Affairs. John S. Berman has also joined us as acting assistant dean for Evening and Weekend Programs. Prior to joining BCC, he was an educational policy analyst for the Office of the New York City Comptroller. And finally, Jesenia Minier-Delgado is our new director of affirmative action, having served as equal employment opportunity manager for the State of Connecticut's Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection.
I welcome opportunities to reassign talent from within in ways that both enhance professional development and further our mission. An example is the transfer of Dr. Neal Phillip, most recently chairperson of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Technology, to acting associate dean for student success in the Office of Academic Affairs. Dr. Luis Montenegro, coordinator of our Mathematics, Science and Technology Division and chairperson of the Physics and Technology Department, was also made an acting associate dean of Academic Affairs for Curriculum and Faculty Development. I know Dr. Phillip and Dr. Montenegro will have support and input from the entire college community as they dedicate themselves to these critical efforts.
My best wishes to all of you as the fall and winter seasons get underway.
Warmest regards,
Carole M. Berotte Joseph, President
