Health Risks from Dioxin and Related Compounds: Evaluation of the EPA Reassessmentby Committee on EPA's Exposure Human Health Reassessment of TCDD Related Compounds
Although the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency presented a comprehensive review of the scientific literature in its 2003 draft reassessment of the risks of dioxin, the agency did not sufficiently quantify the uncertainties and variabilities associated with the risks, nor did it adequately justify the assumptions used to estimate them, according to this new report from the National Academies&#39 National Research Council. The committee that wrote the report recommended that EPA re-estimate the risks using several different assumptions and better communicate the uncertainties in those estimates. The agency also should explain more clearly how it selects both the data upon which the reassessment is based and the methods used to analyze them.
COMPLETING THE FORECAST: Characterizing and Communicating Uncertainty for Better Decisions Using Weather and Climate Forecastsby National Research Council of the National Academies
Uncertainty is a fundamental characteristic of weather, seasonal climate, and hydrological prediction, and no forecast is complete without a description of its uncertainty. Effective communication of uncertainty helps people better understand the likelihood of a particular event and improves their ability to make decisions based on the forecast. Nonetheless, for decades, users of these forecasts have been conditioned to receive incomplete information about uncertainty. They have become used to single-valued (deterministic) forecasts (e.g., "the high temperature will be 70 degrees Farenheit 9 days from now") and applied their own experience in determining how much confidence to place in the forecast. Most forecast products from the public and private sectors, including those from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service, continue this deterministic legacy. Fortunately, the National Weather Service and others in the prediction community have recognized the need to view uncertainty as a fundamental part of forecasts. By partnering with other segments of the community to understand user needs, generate relevant and rich informational products, and utilize effective communication vehicles, the National Weather Service can take a leading role in the transition to widespread, effective incorporation of uncertainty information into predictions. "Completing the Forecast" makes recommendations to the National Weather Service and the broader prediction community on how to make this transition.

Preliminary Principles and Guidelines for Archiving Environmental and Geospatial Data at NOAA: Interim Reportby National Research Council of the National Academies
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) collects and manages a wide range of environmental and geospatial data to fulfill its mission requirements--data that stretch from the surface of the sun to the core of the earth, and affect every aspect of society. With limited resources and enormous growth in data volumes, NOAA asked the National Academies for advice on how to archive and provide access to these data. This book offers preliminary principles and guidelines that NOAA and its partners can use to begin planning specific archiving strategies for the data streams they currently collect. For example, the book concludes that the decision to archive environmental or geospatial data should be driven by its current or future value to society, and that funding for environmental and geospatial measurements should include sufficient resources to archive and provide access to the data these efforts generate. The preliminary principles and guidelines proposed in this book will be refined and expanded to cover data access issues in a final book expected to be released in 2007.
Beyond Mapping: Meeting National Needs Through Enhanced Geographic Information Scienceby National Research Council of the National Academies
Geographic information systems (GIS), the Global Positioning System (GPS), remote sensing, and other information technologies have all changed the nature of work in the mapping sciences and in the professions, industries, and institutions that depend on them for basic research and education. Today, geographic information systems have become central to the ways thousands of government agencies, private companies, and not-for-profit organizations do business. However, the supply of GIS/GIScience professionals has not kept pace with the demand generated by growing needs for more and improved geographic information systems and for more robust geographic data. Beyond Mapping assesses the state of mapping sciences at the beginning of the twenty-first century and identifies the critical national needs for GIS/GIScience professionals. It examines the forces that drive and accompany the need for GIS/GIScience professionals, including technological change, demand for geographic information, and changes in organizations. It assesses education and research needs, including essential training and education, new curriculum challenges and responses, quality assurance in education and training, and organizational challenges. Some of the report's recommendations include more collaboration among academic disciplines, private companies, and government agencies; the implementation of GIS/GIScience at all levels of education; and the development of a coherent, comprehensive research agenda for the mapping sciences.
Surface Temperature Reconstructions For The Last 2,000 Yearsby National Research Council of the National Academies
In response to a request from Congress, Surface Temperature Reconstructions for the Last 2,000 Years assesses the state of scientific efforts to reconstruct surface temperature records for Earth during approximately the last 2,000 years and the implications of these efforts for our understanding of global climate change. Because widespread, reliable temperature records are available only for the last 150 years, scientists estimate temperatures in the more distant past by analyzing &#34proxy evidence,&#34 which includes tree rings, corals, ocean and lake sediments, cave deposits, ice cores, boreholes, and glaciers. Starting in the late 1990s, scientists began using sophisticated methods to combine proxy evidence from many different locations in an effort to estimate surface temperature changes during the last few hundred to few thousand years. This book is an important resource in helping to understand the intricacies of global climate change.
A Matter Of Size: Triennial Review Of The National Nanotechnology Initiativeby National Research Council of the National Academies
The National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) was created in 2000 to focus and coordinate the nanoscience and nanotechnology research and development (R&D) activities being funded by several federal agencies. The purpose of the NNI is to marshal these research activities in order to accelerate responsible development and deployment of nanotechnology for economic benefit and national security. To take stock of the progress of the NNI, Congress, in P. L. 108-153, the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act, directed the National Research Council to carry out a review of the program every three years. This report presents the results of the first of those reviews, which addresses the economic impact of nanotechnology developments and provides a benchmark of U.S. R&D efforts relative to those undertaken by foreign competitors. In addition, the report offers an assessment of the current status of responsible development of nanotechnology and comments on the feasibility of molecular self-assembly.
Measuring And Sustaining The New Economy: Enhancing Productivity Growth In The Information Ageby National Research Council of the National Academies
Starting in the mid 1990s, the United States economy experienced an unprecedented upsurge in economic productivity. Rapid technological change in communications, computing, and information management continue to promise further gains in productivity, a phenomenon often referred to as the New Economy. To better understand this phenomenon, the National Academies Board on Science, Technology, and Economic Policy (STEP) initiated a project to better measure the contributions of different elements of the "new economy" (semiconductors, computers, software, and telecommunications) and to develop policies to meet the needs of these growth-enhancing industries. Accompanied by four workshop reports, this summary volume describes the steps required to better measure and sustain the benefits of this "new economy" in the sectors examined.
Future Air Force Needs For Survivabilityby National Research Council of the National Academies
A key technical issue for future Air Force systems is to improve their ability to survive. Increased use of stealth technology is proposed by many to be the major element in efforts to enhance survivability for future systems. Others, however, suggest that the high cost and maintenance required of stealth technology make increased speed potentially more productive. To help address this issue, the Air Force asked the NRC to investigate combinations of speed and stealth that would provide U.S. aircraft with a high survival capability in the 2018 period, and to identify changes in R&D plans to enable such aircraft. This report presents a review of stealth technology development; a discussion of possible future missions and threats; an analysis of the technical feasibility for achieving various levels of stealth and different speeds by 2018 and of relevant near-term R&D needs and priorities; and observations about the utility of speed and stealth trade-offs against evolving threats.
Seafood Choices: Balancing Benefits And Risksby Institute of Medicine of the National Academies
The fragmented information that consumers receive about the nutritional value and health risks associated with fish and shellfish can result in confusion or misperceptions about these food sources. Consumers are therefore confronted with a dilemma: they are told that seafood is good for them and should be consumed in large amounts, while at the same time the federal government and most states have issued advisories urging caution in the consumption of certain species or seafood from specific waters. Seafood Choices carefully explores the decision-making process for selecting seafood by assessing the evidence on availability of specific nutrients (compared to other food sources) to obtain the greatest nutritional benefits. The book prioritizes the potential for adverse health effects from both naturally occurring and introduced toxicants in seafood; assesses evidence on the availability of specific nutrients in seafood compared to other food sources; determines the impact of modifying food choices to reduce intake of toxicants on nutrient intake and nutritional status within the U.S. population; develops a decision path for U.S. consumers to weigh their seafood choices to obtain nutritional benefits balanced against exposure risks; and identifies data gaps and recommendations for future research. The information provided in this book will benefit food technologists, food manufacturers, nutritionists, and those involved in health professions making nutritional recommendations.
Issues Affecting the Future of the U.S. Space Science and Engineering Workforce: Interim Reportby National Research Council of the National Academies
In January 2006, the President announced a new civilian space policy focusing on exploration. As part of its preparations to implement that policy, NASA asked the NRC to explore long-range science and technology workforce needs to achieve the space exploration vision, identify obstacles to filling those needs, and put forward solutions to those obstacles. As part of the study, the NRC held a workshop to identify important factors affecting NASA's future workforce and its capacity to implement the exploration vision. This interim report presents a summary of the highlights of that workshop and an initial set of findings. The report provides a review of the workforce implications of NASA's plans, an assessment of science and technology workforce demographics, an analysis of factors affecting the aerospace workforce for both NASA and the relevant aerospace industry, and preliminary findings and recommendations. A final report is scheduled for completion in early 2007.
Overcoming Challenges To Develop Countermeasures Against Aerosolized Bioterrorism Agents: Appropriate Use Of Animal Modelsby National Research Council of the National Academies
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) gives the highest priority to developing countermeasures against bioterrorism agents that are highly infective when dispersed in aerosol form. Developing drugs to prevent or treat illnesses caused by bioterrorism agents requires testing their effectiveness in animals since human clinical trials would be unethical. At the request of NIAID, the National Academies conducted a study to examine how such testing could be improved. Overcoming Challenges to Develop Countermeasures Against Aerosolized Bioterrorism Agents provides recommendations to researchers on selecting the kinds of animal models, aerosol generators, and bioterrorism agent doses that would produce conditions that most closely mimic the disease process in humans. It also urges researchers to fully document experimental parameters in the literature so that studies can be reproduced and compared. The book recommends that all unclassified data on bioterrorism agent studies--including unclassified, unpublished data from U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID)--be published in the open literature. The book also calls on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to improve the process by which bioterrorism countermeasures are approved based on the results of animal studies.
Progress in Preventing Childhood Obesity: How Do We Measure Up?by Institute of Medicine of the National Academies
The remarkable increase in the prevalence of obesity among children and youth in the United States over a relatively short timespan represents one of the defining public health challenges of the 21st century. The country is beginning to recognize childhood obesity as a major public health epidemic that will incur substantial costs to the nation. However, the current level of investment by the public and private sectors still does not match the extent of the problem. There is a substantial underinvestment of resources to adequately address the scope of this obesity crisis. At this early phase in addressing the epidemic, actions have begun on a number of levels to improve the dietary patterns and to increase the physical activity levels of young people. Schools, corporations, youth-related organizations, families, communities, foundations, and government agencies are working to implement a variety of policy changes, new programs, and other interventions. These efforts, however, generally remain fragmented and small in scale. Moreover, the lack of systematic monitoring and evaluation of interventions have hindered the development of an evidence base to identify, apply, and disseminate lessons learned and to support promising efforts to prevent childhood obesity. Progress in Preventing Childhood Obesity: How Do We Measure Up? examines the progress made by obesity prevention initiatives in the United States from 2004 to 2006. This book emphasizes a call to action for key stakeholders and sectors to commit to and demonstrate leadership in childhood obesity prevention, evaluates all policies and programs, monitors their progress, and encourages stakeholders to widely disseminate promising practices. This book will be of interest to federal, state, and local government agencies; educators and schools; public health and health care professionals; private-sector companies and industry trade groups; media; parents; and those involved in implementing community-based programs and consumer advocacy.
Taking Science to School: Learning and Teaching Science in Grades K-8by National Research Council of the National Academies
What is science for a child? How do children learn about science and how to do science? Drawing on a vast array of work from neuroscience to classroom observation, Taking Science to School provides a comprehensive picture of what we know about teaching and learning science from kindergarten through eighth grade. By looking at a broad range of questions, this book provides a basic foundation for guiding science teaching and supporting students in their learning. Taking Science to School answers such questions as: *When do children begin to learn about science? Are there critical stages in a child's development of such scientific concepts as mass or animate objects? *What role does nonschool learning play in children's knowledge of science? *How can science education capitalize on children's natural curiosity? *What are the best tasks for books, lectures, and hands-on learning? *How can teachers be taught to teach science? The book also provides a detailed examination of how we know what we know about children's learning of science--about the role of research and evidence. This book will be an essential resource for everyone involved in K-8 science education--teachers, principals, boards of education, teacher education providers and accreditors, education researchers, federal education agencies, and state and federal policy makers. It will also be a useful guide for parents and others interested in how children learn.
Review of International Technologies for Destruction of Recovered Chemical Warfare Materielby National Research Council of the National Academies
The Chemical Weapons Convention requires, among other things, that the signatories to the convention--which includes the United States--destroy by April 29, 2007, or as soon possible thereafter, any chemical warfare materiel that has been recovered from sites where it has been buried once discovered. For several years the United States and several other countries have been developing and using technologies to dispose of this non-stockpile materiel. To determine whether international efforts have resulted in technologies that would benefit the U.S. program, the U.S. Army asked the NRC to evaluate and compare such technologies to those now used by the United States. This book presents a discussion of factors used in the evaluations, summaries of evaluations of several promising international technologies for processing munitions and for agent-only processing, and summaries of other technologies that are less likely to be of benefit to the U.S. program at this time.
Genes, Behavior, and the Social Environment: Moving Beyond the Nature/Nurture Debateby Institute of Medicine of the National Academies
Over the past century, we have made great strides in reducing rates of disease and enhancing people&#39s general health. Public health measures such as sanitation, improved hygiene, and vaccines; reduced hazards in the workplace; new drugs and clinical procedures; and, more recently, a growing understanding of the human genome have each played a role in extending the duration and raising the quality of human life. But research conducted over the past few decades shows us that this progress, much of which was based on investigating one causative factor at a time&#8212often, through a single discipline or by a narrow range of practitioners&#8212can only go so far. Genes, Behavior, and the Social Environment examines a number of well-described gene-environment interactions, reviews the state of the science in researching such interactions, and recommends priorities not only for research itself but also for its workforce, resource, and infrastructural needs.
Review Of Recreational Fisheries Survey Methodsby National Research Council of the National Academies
Recreational fishing in the United States is an important social and economic component of many marine fisheries, with an estimated 14 million anglers making almost 82 million fishing trips in 2004. Although each individual angler typically harvests a small number of fish, collectively these sport fisheries can take a significant fraction of the yearly catch--in some cases more than commercial fisheries. For example, in 1999, recreational fishing accounted for 94% of the total catch of spotted sea trout, 76% of striped bass and sheephead, and 60 percent of king mackerel. It is important that systems used to monitor fishing catch are adequate for timely management of recreational fisheries. However, the large number of anglers and access points makes monitoring recreational fishing much more difficult than monitoring commercial fishing. This report reviews the types of survey methods used to estimate catch in recreational fisheries, including state/federal cooperative programs. The report finds that both telephone survey and onsite access components of the current monitoring systems have serious flaws in design or implementation. There are also several areas of miscommunication and mismatched criteria among designers of surveys, data collectors, and recreational fisheries. The report recommends that a comprehensive, universal sampling frame with national coverage should be established, and that improvements should be made in statistical analysis of the data collected and in the ways the data are communicated. A permanent and independent research group should be established and funded to evaluate the statistical design and adequacy of recreational fishery surveys and to guide necessary modifications or new initiatives.
Aeronautics Innovation: Nasa's Challenges And Opportunitiesby National Research Council of the National Academies
NASA is a global leader in aeronautics research and development — fostering advances in aviation safety and emissions, propulsion technology, and many other areas. And the agency's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD) has played a vital role in the U.S. aeronautics industry. In recent years, the directorate's leaders and experts outside the agency have sought ways to speed innovative uses of ARMD's research results. But the directorate faces management challenges that make it difficult for such applications to succeed — or to occur at all. This report from the National Academies' National Research Council, offers the agency guidance on how to manage the transfer of technology to external users, as well as implement flexible personnel and financial-management practices. The report also points out problems that stem from a lack of agreement on ARMD's future direction and several years of federal budget cuts.
FUNDING BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH PROGRAMS: Contributions of the Markey Trustby National Research Council of the National Academies
During an interval of 15 years, the Lucille P. Markey Charitable Trust spent over $500 million on four programs in the basic biomedical sciences that support the education and research of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, junior faculty, and senior researchers. The Markey Trust asked the NRC to evaluate these programs with two questions in mind: "Were these funds well spent?" and "What can others in the biomedical and philanthropic communities learn from the programs of the Markey Trust, both as an approach to funding biomedical research and as a model of philanthropy?" One of five resulting reports, this volume examines the Research Program Grants, which awarded $323 million to support investigators with a major commitment to the life sciences and to assist in the establishment, reorganization, or expansion of significant biomedical research centers or programs. Using information from Markey archives, materials from grant recipients, and site visits to a sample of institutional grant recipients, the authoring committee describes the impact that Markey grants made on the centers and programs funded by these grants, along with the unique aspects of the Markey approach to funding that may be applicable to other funders of biomedical research programs.
Linking Knowledge with Action for Sustainable Development: THE ROLE OF PROGRAM MANAGEMENTby National Research Council of the National Academies
This report summarizes a workshop organized by the National Academies' Roundtable on Science and Technology for Sustainability. The workshop brought together a select group of program managers from the public and private sectors to discuss specific cases of linking knowledge to action in a diverse set of integrated observation, assessment, and decision support systems. Workshop discussions explored a wide variety of experiments in harnessing science and technology to goals of promoting development and conserving the environment. Participants reflected on the most significant challenges that they have faced when trying to implement their programs and the strategies that they have used to address them successfully. The report summarizes discussions at the workshop, including common themes about the process of linking knowledge with actions for sustainable development that emerged across a wide range of cases, sectors, and regions.
Tech Tally: Approaches To Assessing Technological Literacyby National Academy of Engineering National Research Council of the National Academies
In a broad sense, technology is any modification of the natural world made to fulfill human needs or desires. Although people tend to focus on the most recent technological inventions, technology includes a myriad of devices and systems that profoundly affect everyone in modern society. Technology is pervasive; an informed citizenship needs to know what technology is, how it works, how it is created, how it shapes our society, and how society influences technological development. This understanding depends in large part on an individual level of technological literacy. Tech Tally: Approaches to Assessing Technological Literacy determines the most viable approaches to assessing technological literacy for students, teachers, and out-of-school adults. The book examines opportunities and obstacles to developing scientifically valid and broadly applicable assessment instruments for technological literacy in the three target populations. The book offers findings and 12 related recommendations that address five critical areas: instrument development; research on learning; computer-based assessment methods, framework development, and public perceptions of technology. This book will be of special interest to individuals and groups promoting technological literacy in the United States, education and government policy makers in federal and state agencies, as well as the education research community.

Can't anyone point me to one short, simple, straight-forward example of a CLASSIC Report with, say, 3 columns that are totaled in the report footer?I'm missing something here. In a classic report, there is a 'Sum' checkbox in the Report Attributes screen that totals the column values. Why would you need code?
I'm having a terrible time getting folks to pay attention.I won't post what I'd really like to post in response to that. I don't believe that I was not paying attention to your question. I came in to this after you were asking for the 'code' to create a Classic report with totals. Code has a reasonably specific meaning. Creating a classic report via the Apex interface doesn't qualify. That particular red herring threw me way off in trying to figure out exactly what you were asking for.
I've got to think there's at least a small problem here somewhere -- with the forum, I mean.I agree. It's incredible how difficult it is to get people to post questions that clearly indicate what they are looking for.
I'm sure you meant it all to be very helpful.s'not worth my time to post and not try to be helpful.
What I want is an EXAMPLE, an APEX example program where someone actuallly does this. I don't want a tutorial. I don't want documentation.I've done tech support of one sort or another for a couple of decades. A large portion of the art of generating the correct answer to a question is figuring out what the question being asked really is. At this point I still can't figure out what you're looking for that requires the artificial restrictions you are putting on the type of answer you get. The documentation clearly shows how to use the wizard to create a classic report and how to mark columns to be totaled. Since that isn't sufficient, the information you are seeking isn't really how to total the columns in a classic report.
(more) My goodness! Now I see why it's failing. ou can't get a sum for the first column! The "report total:" literal in that position prevents it! I don't know if there are "declarative" ways around this. I don't think I'm even going to try to get around it.

free oil changes for seniors
Once again, in the true spirit of Thanksgiving, The Twenty Garage in Chester is honoring Senior Citizens (62 and older) and their caretakers by giving them (limited to the first 20) a free oil change. It happens on Nov. 20, so be sure you are the first in line. Ken Anthony's shop is behind the Kopper Kettle restaurant and provides complete automotive service for cars and light trucks, both foreign and domestic.
crescent country winners
As always, Barbara and Lisa said their annual Holiday Open House was a huge success. Visitors enjoyed delicious appetizers and hot mulled cider. Three of them — Inez Robbins and Sandy Condon from Quincy and Diane Long from Chester — were especially happy, each winning a $50 gift certificate.
Thanksgiving day meal
The annual tradition continues at the Way Station in Greenville. Gould, Bev and friends will again prepare and serve a traditional (and complimentary) Thanksgiving meal Nov. 25, from 2 - 5 p.m. It's simply their way of saying thanks to their customers and sharing the true meaning of Thanksgiving with their "extended family," their friends and neighbors. They always say if you can't be with your family on Thanksgiving, come be with ours.
anniversary wishes…
Al and Katherine Templeton are celebrating their ninth anniversary as owners of the Cedar Lodge and RV Park near Chester. The owners said some of the benefits of a facility located a little more than a mile from town, includes guests having the unique opportunity for front door access to their quads, snowmobiles, cross-country skiing and the like. It's all right out the front door of their accommodations! The Lodge is nestled in a wooded, park-like setting with a variety of clean, comfortable rooms. They also have RV hook-ups and a seasonal heated pool.
Attorney Mary K. Shelters has completed her first year practicing in Plumas County from her offices in Greenville. In addition to bankruptcy protection, Mary negotiates settlements with unsecured creditors for those clients who cannot protect their assets in bankruptcy. Mary is also expanding her practice to include estate planning, specifically wills and trusts.
Dr. Gregory Sawyer DDS is celebrating his 28th year serving the dental needs of Plumas County residents from his East Quincy clinic (across from the Polka Dot). He and his highly skilled team specialize in family dentistry and orthodontics. It's also worth noting that Dr. Sawyer is also a certified Invisalign provider that, simply put, is a series of removable, clear aligners that promote an easy and invisible way of straightening teeth.
Mike and Karen Kibble have owned and operated Quincy Drug Store for six years. It is one of Quincy's — perhaps Plumas County's — oldest continually operating businesses. As I've said in the past, this store is so much more than an excellent pharmacy; it is indeed a shopper's paradise. If you can't find that special gift there, chances are you won't find it anywhere.
Sharon Geney CMT is celebrating her 10-year anniversary. Since her relocation to the Stover Landing Building, in 2008, she has been enjoying a wonderful partnership with Good Vibrations, as well as other healing practitioners. Her services and product lines include therapeutic massage, aromatherapy and energetic balancing, Young Living essential oils, CDs, candles and self-awareness support.
Mountain Money and Shipping Services in Chester is celebrating its seventh year in business. Owners Derek and Pat Anderson offer UPS shipping, Western Union wiring services and dry cleaning service. Manager Debbie McKee said they have increased their packing supplies inventory for the holidays.
shop at home? do the math!
With the holidays just around the corner and given the state of our economy, this special shop at home message — or challenge, if you will — from a year ago certainly warrants repeating.
If each of our newspaper readers spent just $100 each shopping at home this holiday season, it would pump over $1.8 million into the Plumas County economy — and that's based on a conservative average of just two readers per newspaper sold each week.
Granted, times are tough right now, but how hard would it really be to make a determined effort to spend a hundred bucks at home sometime over the next month-and-a-half? It could be a couple of gifts from your favorite stores, maybe some gift certificates from the beauty salon, massage studio or other service provider. How about having your vehicle serviced before making that holiday drive to be with out-of-area friends or relatives? If you did have it serviced with this campaign in mind that too counts towards our goal. You get the idea, just look around, you're sure to find something for someone special — even if that someone special is you!
Collective efforts make for positive results.
(Thanks again to Supervisor Sherrie Thrall for sharing this idea with us last year and to the Alliance For Workforce Development for their assistance in co-sponsoring this campaign for the next month).

April 25, 2014
Georgia Tech has fired defensive coordinator and former Virginia head coach Al Groh.
Head coach Paul Johnson announced the move Monday, two days after the Yellow Jackets lost 47-31 to Clemson. The previous week, Georgia Tech gave up 49 points in a loss to Middle Tennessee.
Groh, a former head coach at Virginia and for the NFL's New York Jets, was in his third season running Georgia Tech's defense. Secondary coach Charles Kelly will take over as the interim coordinator, and Johnson is shaking up the rest of his defensive staff as well.
The Yellow Jackets are off this week.

Radiological Ray Gun: More Buck Rogers Fantasy than Risk to Real PeopleNuclear Weapons, Radiological Weapons, Terrorism
The June 18th arrest of two men for allegedly plotting to build a bizarre yet potentially deadly radiological device once again highlights the potential nexus of non-state actors with so-called weapons of mass destruction (WMD). However, much like this year's troika of ricin-laced letters addressed to government facilities (including one to the CIA) and public officials (all three incidents targeted President Obama at his White House address), this most recent plot reveals the historical rarity and non-lethality of non-state actors and their behaviors with radiological weapons and agents. While the potential for catastrophe posed by terrorist use of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) weapons deserves ongoing and serious attention, recent events remind us how public apprehension is sometimes founded more in fear than reality; indeed, reactions based on fear are capable of far more disruption than the physical reality of the event itself. The role of science-based organizations such as the Federation of American Scientists is to educate the public about the real risks.
Of the CBRN threats, the nuclear threat is undoubtedly truly catastrophic because a nuclear weapon can cause massive destruction, but obtaining a nuclear weapon or the fissile material to make such a weapon is very hard to do. In comparison, radiological sources are far more common, but most of them would cause little or no harm to human health if dispersed by a radiological weapon because there is not enough radioactive material contained in the vast majority of each of these sources. And even those radiological sources containing highly radioactive materials would pose great difficulties for terrorists to use because they would hazard exposing themselves to lethal ionizing radiation. These latter issues, and others outlined below, are very relevant to the recent radiological plot.

Ward: A heavy toll for Hostess and members of its bakers union
By Jeff Ward For The Courier-News November 25, 2012 5:16PM
FILE - This Jan. 10, 2012 file photo shows Hostess Twinkies in New York. Twinkies first came onto the scene in 1930 and contained real fruit until rationing during World War II led to the vanilla cream Twinkie. (AP Photo/Mark Lennihan, file)
Updated: December 27, 2012 6:10AM
I know you all love to label me with the "L" word (liberal), but nothing could be further from the truth. Not only am I willing to take on the hippies (local left-wing activists), but you're about to discover just how much I've come to loath labor unions.
Those collectives certainly served a gallant purpose in their day, but instead of making things better, they've supplanted the unholy corporate bosses they were intended to resist. And there's no better example of this than the Hostess company's recent semi-untimely demise.
I understand you left-leaning readers want to blame management for the company's closure, and there is something — but not much — to be said for that hypothesis.
It's true that Hostess filed for bankruptcy protection in 2004 and 2012, and the privately held company has gone through CEOs faster than Lady Gaga goes through wigs. And yes, management massively bumping their salaries right in the middle of tense labor negotiations didn't help matters any.
But I firmly believe those late raises were a combination of a golden parachute ploy and a means of inciting the bakers union into holding their ground. I'm convinced the owners wanted an excuse to get out from under a rapidly fading concern.
Because, in the end, Hostess' ultimate flaw was an inability to adapt. While other snack food purveyors saw the numbers on the scale, the Twinkie maker continued operating as if the generally obese American public would never alter their eating habits.
So while they insisted upon selling the same old sugary snacks, Coke Zero, Vitamin Water, low-fat Oreos and low-fat yogurt were literally eating into their market share. Take a short stroll down that Jewel bread aisle and you'll note that it's dominated by health-conscious multigrain brands.
No one buys Wonder Bread any more.
So while you can certainly blame management for the failure to foresee a trend, that ain't a mortal sin. It happens every day. When was the last time you used a Palm PDA? And by the time these stressed companies realize it, it's usually too late.
Hostess had two options. Seriously reduce costs or, like Zenith TV, sell the brand to a group that could make it work. They chose the former and turned to their unions for help. And the fact that the Teamsters quickly agreed to the concessions really oughta tell you something.
That group ain't exactly known for their "congeniality."
But enter the union bakers, who members were already making an artificially inflated $19 an hour — not including pension and health care benefits. When they refused to shoulder 17 percent of their health care costs and consider an 8 percent salary cut, the owners decided to sell the brand.
And it's because that union chose so poorly that 18,500 Hostess workers are now out of work. How many of us would kill for $17.50 an hour plus benefits and a pension? As my good friend and "Left, Right and You" radio co-host Tim Elenz said, "At what point does a company turn to a union and say 'I'm done doing business with you?' "
We love to say we hate socialism, but then we start shrieking whenever the market finally prevails — and it always does. Standing squarely on the shoulders of our proud capitalist tradition, Hostess decided it could make more money by closing the company.
Don't try to tell me you'd do anything differently either. When selling your grandmother's broach on eBay, do you always take the lowest bid? When you have your eye on that rare Pez dispenser, do you, out of the goodness of your heart, add 65 percent to your winning tally?
I thought so.
Both Darwin and capitalism demand the survival of the fittest. The union demanded something the market could not bear, and that self-destructive insanity cost a whole lot of people their jobs.
But the thing that really bothers me is that while management and the union were bickering like a bunch of middle-schoolers, the real losers are the folks like Kathy Lipprandt and A.J. Galvin, who valiantly manned that Elgin Hostess Thrift Shop counter until the very end.
Through no fault of their own, they're out of a job. Those Elgin venues where customers are greeted by their first names are getting even rarer.
And I place the blame for Hostess' not-quite-yet-necessary demise squarely on the selfish and short-sighted bakers union. They knew the company was in distress and, lacking any sense of the realities the rest of us regularly face, they refused to make reasonable concessions and shut the business down just because they could.
And you wonder why I despise labor unions.

Assessment Data & Results
District: 0900 - Douglas County RE 1
Colorado's state assessment system includes three different types of assessments to measure student achievement. The main assessment used in the state is the CSAP, which assesses students in reading, writing and math state standards in grades 3 through 10. The CSAP science assessment is also given in 5th, 8th and 10th grade. The second assessment available is for students in third and fourth grade who are receiving instruction in Spanish. The Lectura is the Spanish reading version of the CSAP and the Escritura is the Spanish writing version of the CSAP. These assessments are scored with the following ratings: Unsatisfactory (student is not able to demonstrate the content standards), Partially Proficient (student is beginning to demonstrate knowledge on the standards), Proficient (student is capable of the meeting the standards), Advanced (student is above and beyond the standards), and No Score (the student was unable to complete the test, for a variety of reasons). The third assessment, the CSAPA (CSAP Alternate) is also available for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities to assess their reading, writing, math and science content knowledge. Only about 1% of students in Colorado take the CSAPA.

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), a.k.a. "the Nation's Report Card," is the only nationally representative and continuing assessment of what America's students know and can do in different subject areas. Its two major goals are to measure student achievement and to report change in performance over time. NAEP provides results for the nation as a whole and for the states separately. Performance is reported by groups of students, e.g. by total, by gender, by racial and ethnic groups, and by participation in special programs such as those servicing students with special needs and limited English proficiency. Each of these assessments/studies is based on a representative sample of the student population of the state and the nation and none are designed to produce individual district, school or student data.

Tighten your belt...
Not your style.
Talbots has that classic tailored look that never seems to go out of style. It's all about mixing and matching. You can buy a couple basic pieces that are timeless and mix them with what you already have in your closet. Their slacks come in three different styles, try them on for size for a fabulous fit! The Heritage Fit, sits comfortably at the waist. Signature Fit, slightly below the waist and my favorite The Classic Fit with a side zipper. I hate the zippers in the front that just add an additional bulge where you most don't need it! These slacks all come in the basic neutral colors, beige, black, grey, tan and brown. The sizes range is misses 4 - 16 and petites 2 - 14.
The number one fashion statement I noticed is a huge selection of fine pin wheel corduroy slacks in a great palette of colors. They are perfect for our climate as they feel thinner than jeans and they breath. The colors are yummy and all have a matching light weight sweater to go with them. There is also a selection of stylish jackets in corduroy in red or brown with tailored slacks in the rich chocolate brown. That seems to be an "in" color combination for fall. There is even a handsome tote in red that you could put just about everything you need to carry in it. I liked the plaid tote too. The collection of sweaters are all in light weight fabrics. Perfect for Florida. I liked those with the tucked front, cardigans with small round buttons. Great colors too, red, ivory, paprika, brown or olive green. It's all about basics in here, everyone needs a basic white blouse, find several styles. They also came in red, black, olive and mustard.
The section of black and white is eye catching. A bold black and white plaid short jacket can be worn with a short black skirt or a matching plaid skirt. Another was the black and white dotted jacket or blouse. Several different print blouses and tops to pair up with many different bottoms.
Magenta is back in with twin sets, jackets and blouses to add a zip of color.
This is the year of the jacket. There were many styles and colors to choose from. Find quilted jackets or vests. Or the smart red wool jacket is perfect for a cool weather trip up north. There are argyle vests that look so good with the corduroy slacks. A floral print cardigan in rich colors will add interest to any wardrobe.
Find the basic black dress that needs to be in everyone's closet. It can be worn to work or dressed up with some jewelry with a little bling and it goes out for the evening.
The "must have" accessory for fall, the scarf! There are many color combinations and they look great with any outfit. Also find a selection of jewelry and belts to complete the look.
There is a large petite selection. I know a lot of my friends are always looking for a store that carries petites, well, here it is!
Talbots is located at 23181 Village Shops Way, Suite 105 in Coconut Point, Estero.

THE THEATRE review of "Brief Encounter" and "Yes, Prime Minister." Noël Coward wrote and performed himself into the center of the British popular imagination. Onstage and onscreen, he gave the country a sensational chronicle of its immediate past, from the Boer War to the Second World War. After the war, Coward teamed up with David Lean a second time, to transform his 1936 one-act play "Still Life" into the classic 1945 film "Brief Encounter", which became a kind of romantic cultural watershed for the postwar generation. The film, about an unfulfilled love affair that plays itself out in a train-station tearoom, tapped into the nation's sense of release and regret. In Emma Rice's gaudy, rambunctious new stage adaptation of "Brief Encounter" (a Kneehigh Theatre production, directed by Rice, at the Roundabout's Studio 54), Coward's strategy is inverted: there's small talk, but with a lot going on in front, above, and around it. This "Brief Encounter" is neo-impressionistic. With a tea counter set on top of a piano, and a small group of musicians lingering onstage throughout, the suburban upper-middle-class housewife Laura (Hannah Yelland) and Alec (Tristan Sturrock), the married doctor she falls for, are free to swoon, to swing Chagall-like from chandeliers, and to embrace, while behind them projections of crashing waves convey the undertow of feeling that their clipped exchanges don't. Ultimately, Rice deploys Coward's plot and his songs, but her ironic flashiness illustrates rather than penetrates the punishing emotions of the film. Also stars Annette McLaughlin, Joseph Alessi, Dorothy Atkinson, and Gabriel Ebert. Jonathan Lynn and Antony Jay are the co-authors of the brilliant nineteen-eighties British TV series "Yes, Minister," and "Yes, Prime Minister." Now, in a new stage version of "Yes, Prime Minister" (expertly directed by Lynn, at the Gielgud, in London), the scornful, lazy, loquacious Sir Humphrey (Henry Goodman) and the hapless, cunning, vainglorious Prime Minister Jim Hacker (David Haig) return to the West End just in time to skewer Britain's Tory-led coalition government and its instinct for turning a crisis into a catastrophe. The story revolves around a deal being made with the foreign secretary of the oil-rich Kumranistan to run a pipeline through Europe, thus solving Britain's economic problems and insuring the P.M.'s future. On the eve of signing the deal, however, the foreign secretary asks for a sexual partner for the night. The request generates an extravaganza of hilarious pettifogging. Lynn's return to the West End is something to cheer about.

My City Was Gone: One American Town's Toxic Secret, Its Angry Band of Locals, and a $700 Million Day in Court : Powerful and important, My City Was Gone is the cautionary tale of how a hardworking small town was destroyed by the very forces that created it. Anniston, Alabama, was once a thriving industrial hub, home to a Monsanto chemical plant as well as a federal depot for chemical weapons. Now its notoriety comes from its exceptionally high cancer rate - some 25 percent above the state norm - and the town's determined citizens, who joined together and struck back at the corporation that employed them - and poisoned them. Dennis Love's bold, gripping narrative unfolds through the stories of three Annistonians: David Baker, the black community activist and environmental folk hero who would lead the charge against the polluters; Chip Howell, the white mayor who defended and provided political cover for the army; and the author himself, a native son who shares his memories and offers compelling insight as the events unfold. Throughout, Love introduces a diverse collection of citizens - heroes and villains, bystanders and victims - whose experiences put a human face on this modern tragedy.

DIY Network's Under Construction breaks the mold of do-it-yourself television, delving deep into the world of big city construction. The show follows licensed contractors John DeSilvia and John Palanca as they build, demolish, renovate and refurbish projects all over New York City. Beyond the massive construction projects that keep them on the run, JD and Palanca deal with the daily drama of running a small business in the Big Apple: demanding clients, inflexible city officials and staffers with, shall we say, questionable work ethics. Funny, exciting and innovative, a show as watchable as Under Construction is long overdue.

2012, on the surface appeared to be a strong turnaround year. Revenue exhibited positive growth, there were more development applications, tourism was strong and special events and festivals performed extremely well. Although the numbers don't fit within the five step recession plan range we have in place, they actually exceed on the revenue side, we are still staying conservative on our projections for 2013. Related to that recession plan, we repositioned it from the fourth stage (major) to the third stage (significant) level. Basically, it means that the Council will continue to evaluate very carefully the large expenditures and projects. Our hiring freeze is still in effect.
From a revenue perspective, sales tax was light though the first quarter of the year but picked up substantially in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters. July, August, September and October were record months -- bigger than at any other time in Telluride history. June and November were the second biggest on record. Through November we are 3.67% ahead of 2011 which was the largest sales tax year on record. If December is equal to last year, or greater, 2012 will be the greatest sales tax year on record. Snow was light again in November and December. Real Estate Transfer Tax is still quite erratic and yet October was the second largest RETT month to date. We exceeded our annual budget for this very important category by seven hundred thousand dollars. Building applications are coming back as well – we are projected to issue about 115 in 2012. This number is consistent with last year, and certainly above what we were seeing during the recession years.
The summer season was the healthiest revenue season ever. As a recap: Bluegrass sold out for 2012 and 2013, Blues and Brews also sold out, The Ride brought in between 3,500 and 4,000 viewers each day, US Pro Cycling Challenge, although short on numbers, definitely heightened our exposure national and internationally. Our Festivals and Special Events are healthy and providing us with a foundation upon which we can build more sustainability into our future. While we are having challenging discussions about the scarcity of weekend space for future events, it should be noted that Telluride's summer festival season continues to be the envy of towns throughout Colorado. Our summer revenues are as strong as our winter ski season revenues. That is remarkable.
After 20+ years, Idarado and Telluride have come to agreement on a Comprehensive Settlement Agreement for the Bridal Veil water system for placement of the Town's water treatment plant, shared maintenance on the collection system and shared water usage. This is a landmark decision and it took collaboration and compromise on both sides. Much of the infrastructure work in the Bridal Veil basin was accomplished this year and 2013 will bring about the construction of the Water Treatment Plant itself with an end date in mid 2014. The Telluride valley will now have storage and clean water for decades to come and will avoid the severe water shortage issues we faced in drought years like 2012 with our existing water sources. While there are indeed financial challenges related to the completion of this project, we will deal with those challenges as we have dealt with others.
The Historic Survey and HARC Design Standards are also nearing completion and should be completed in 2013. These projects have been ongoing since 2008. The recession delayed them but they are nearing completion.
The Town Park was offered $750,000 from the Film Festival to move the Town Park Pavilion into the true multi-use aspect that was originally envisioned. This along with roughly $1,000,000 from the Capital Fund will help this facility become a very popular special event center. The town is investing $190,000 into the West End Community Solar Garden as well as buying Renewable Energy Credits from the Bridal Veil Power Plant. We will also be putting a Hydro Power component to the Pandora Water Treatment plant that will help us offset approximately 40% of the Town Government's energy usage. The Primrose Hillside which is a public/private partnership has been approved and will be completed in 2013.
Through an agreement with Time Warner we have greatly improved the transmission of Telluride TV's service to the community and also have made live streaming of council meetings and the taping of the Mayor's monthly update even more effective. The Main Street Enhancement Task Force, along with the Merchant's Association, are working with town government to make our downtown even more user friendly. We assisted with additional holiday lights and trees, to help kick off the new "Holiday Prelude." Because of the growing popularity of New Year's Eve in downtown Telluride we added a midnight fireworks exhibit along with other features that will assist the growing crowd to enjoy this very special Telluride event. We have been working closely with CCAASE and the Parks and Recreation Commission to help balance out our special events in Telluride so that big events do not over run smaller events.
Although no new attainable housing has been built since Gold Run, we will continue to plan for future projects. In December, The Gold Run Child Care facility which is being operated by Telluride Pre-School opened its doors to children from the regional community. We have spent a great deal of time in 2012 making sure that in 2013 we can move closer to finalizing the Pearl Property opportunities and moving to the next step on the Telluride Science Research Center. We are hoping that the Four Corners planning will also begin moving ahead.
Paul Ruud has assumed the Director position of Public Works. Paul has 25 years of experience in Telluride and we are all pleased that he brings so much energy and experience to that extremely important department. Karen Guglielmone is now heading up a new division created in the Public Works Department –Environment & Engineering. She has been tasked with overseeing the Pandora project, and we are benefitting from her expertise and skills. In the Finance Department we have put in place Muni Revs, which gives all of us a much more defined look at revenue sources on a daily basis. This will allow us to actually value what a specific event provides to our community in revenue.
Within the Town Attorney's department we have seen major efforts culminate in settlement agreements and cases won related to the following legal issues: Pandora Water Treatment Plant, Bridal Veil Basin junior water rights cases, Water Rights Cases submitted by Montrose County, Nucla/Naturita and Norwood and procedural defects in licensing of the Pinon Ridge Uranium Mill.
Just a few weeks ago, MJ Schillaci received the Colorado Municipal Clerk's Association 2012 Award for Outstanding Contributions by a Clerk to Her Municipality Award and Greg Clifton; our Town Manager received the Manager of the Year from the Colorado Municipal League.
Personal Comments: It has been a fascinating year. The town council is functioning well. Staff is, as always, responsive to our direction while providing us with a highly educated and motivated team. We are working with a single minded purpose of serving the community of Telluride. The many challenges still facing us are large, but attainable. We are focused on achieving goals and objectives. Those overriding goals and objectives remain to be: Preservation of Community, Cultivation of Economic Development and a Successful Commercial Core, Addressing Critical Infrastructure Needs and Implementation of our Environmental Action Agenda. As your mayor, my message to you is, get involved and help us to continue to make Telluride the best place in the world to live. Thank you for the twelve years you have allowed me to participate in the evolution of Telluride. I hope I have met your needs.

U.S. Energy Information Administration - EIA - Independent Statistics and Analysis
Country Analysis Brief Overview
- Iran holds the world's fourth-largest proven oil reserves and the world's second-largest natural gas reserves. International sanctions are redefining the Iranian energy sector, and the lack of foreign investment and technology is affecting the sector profoundly.
- More than half of Iran's oil reserves are confined to five giant fields, the largest of which is the Marun field.
- Iran's crude oil production fell dramatically in 2012, and, although it remained the second-largest OPEC producer on average during the year, it exceeded Iraq's production only narrowly. In August 2012, its crude oil production fell below Iraq's for the first time since 1989.
- Once the third-largest exporter of crude oil, Iran has seen its exports drop to 1.5 million bbl/d in 2012 as the United States and the European Union tightened sanctions that target the country's oil exports. Despite the precipitous decline in exports, it remained among the top ten exporters in 2012.
- Over the past few years, Iran has expanded its domestic refining capacity to meet growing domestic demand, particularly for gasoline.
- Iran holds the world's second-largest reserves of natural gas, but the vast majority of these reserves are undeveloped.
- Iran is the third-largest natural gas producer in the world due in part to the development of the giant South Pars field. Despite repeated delays in field development and the effects of sanctions, Iran's natural gas production is expected to increase in the coming years.
- Development of the offshore South Pars field is of vital importance to Iran, both politically and economically. Natural gas production from South Pars is critical to meet increasing domestic consumption and to meet Iran's current and future export obligations.
- While Iran is a net exporter of electricity, increasing domestic demand has created supply shortfalls during times of peak energy demand.

I can't add prisoners. I did not tick fog of war and add prisoners forever. I have cells, kitchen, office, canteen, yard. How do i add prisoners?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Arqade is a question and answer site for passionate videogamers on all platforms. It's 100% free, no registration required.
You need functional (working toilet and bed) cells. If you did not opt for the steady flow of prisoners, you will only receive new prisoners when you have empty cells. Also, make sure that your cell areas say "CELL", not "SOLITARY" or "HOLDING CELL"
If you have all the required materials in your cell (toilet,bed,cell door) and they still don't go into the cell you need to escort them into the cell (left click the prisoner and right click in the cell you want to move the prisoner to).
Just make cells with water and electricity then wait a bit until they come

Large classes or small? As colleges look to save money per student, this has become a key discussion topic. Recent studies are now showing that redesigning the typical lecture-type lesson has proved successful in large class settings, boasting higher exam results than those on the old model...but I think it really depends on the institution.
I can only speak from experience about Wofford College: The largest class I've ever had had about 50 people in it (and the average class size here is 15), though I will soon find out how large classes work when I take a summer course at UNCG to fulfill a gen ed requirement in statistics. I can guarantee that in terms of building professor connections and having instructors as resources outside the classroom, small classes have the advantage but I could definitely see how this setting could be intimidating and that there could be students that flourish more in large-scale lectures.
Attendance policies also seem to be stricter at smaller schools and in smaller classrooms. In a class of 300, nobody bats an eye if somebody's missing; in a class of 12, however, every absence is noticed. Those who are engaged and active in class will probably benefit more from smaller courses, with more direct contact with the professors. But these assumptions seem to be changing. Like I said, the lecture-style of teaching is being altered at bigger schools and being replaced by interactive and virtual courses supervised by professors or teachers. The computers seem to keep the larger classes focused and have directly contributed to better grades in the sciences and visual arts.
When determining what class size is best for you, the best thing to do is to talk to people that attend your prospective schools. How do they like the large classes? Would they recommend them? Do they take any small classes? Are their learning styles similar to yours? Results don't lie but you know yourself better than a statistic. For me, the small classes at WoCo are where it's at. What about you?
Mike Sheffey is a junior at Wofford College double majoring in computer science and Spanish. He loves all things music and has recently taken up photography. Mike works for an on-campus sports broadcasting company as well as the music news blog PropertyOfZack.com. He hopes to use this blogging position to inform and assist others who are seeking the right college or those currently enrolled in college by providing advice on college life, both in general and specific to Wofford.

Freshman year of college is right around the corner and I'm sure many of you are happy to be leaving those high school days behind you...but don't leave behind EVERYTHING you've learned in high school! As a college student, I learned the hard way which characteristics to keep and kick but you don't have to: USA Today recently shared some but I've included a few of my own tips as well.
Do you have any high school habits you've kept or kicked in college? Let us know in the comments!
Carly Gerber is majoring in journalism at Columbia College Chicago. She loves fashion and hopes to cover the topic for a Chicago-area magazine. In her free time, she focuses on her blog, loves making jewelry and spending time on Pinterest and Pose. She hopes to use this blog to guide and relate to its followers: college students like herself!

You have probably fantasized about your college experience being just like the movies...WRONG! If you watched movies or shows like "Glee," "10 Things I Hate About You" and "17 Again" and thought "That is nothing like high school," the same goes for college when it's portrayed on screen: I remember watching "Pitch Perfect" after my first month of college and thought, "College is NOT like that!" Here are some examples from TV and the movies that showcase what supposedly happens in college but doesn't.
Do not take college advice from the movies and TV shows you watch except for the fact that it will be an experience you will never forget. For a more accurate picture of what to expect in college, just ask your friends who are already attending college about what campus life is really like!
Katlyn Clark is a freshman at Campbell University majoring in journalism and minoring in marketing.

Anthony Guzmán
Howdy, Scholarships.com readers! My name is Anthony Guzmán, a sophomore business major and Spanish minor from Austin but most importantly, I am the loudest and proudest member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2016!
That's my typical introduction as a student here at Texas A&M University in College Station. As for how I got to this point, choosing my school was cake after I experienced A&M's family feel, tradition and dedication to financial aid. (Yay!) I study business management because I love people and intend to use my major to help others through non-profit organizations. I am also the first in my family to attend college so I'm trailblazing and taking advantage of all the opportunities that have arisen right in front of me.
But I am not always doing the nerdy college thing! I love to dance, hang out and meet new friends. I call myself athletic because I casually knock the soccer ball around and I go out for a few long runs. Also, I participate in many organizations: For example, I am heavily involved in ministry at my school's parish, which reflects my deep love for my faith.
As you begin your journey toward college, you may be tempted into thinking, "Look at all these successful college kids...they make it sound so easy" or "I'm not as bright as them." Well don't fall into that: Just over a year ago, I had no idea what, where or if I would study after high school but I was fortunate enough to find resources to help prepare myself for what was to come! So think of this guy Anthony as your friend or big brother, a resource you can utilize. Feel free to pick my brain – that is what I am here for! You are already on your way to a bright future. Thanks and Gig'em!
