During the 2013-2014 school year, West Liberty University student Abbey Boram completed an internship in Washington, D.C., at the U.S. Marshals Service in the U.S. Department of Justice while also earning 12 credit hours.
"I really enjoyed working there and learned so much. The whole experience stands out. It was an eye opener to me because the setting was so different from here at home," Boram said. "Washington is so diverse. I learned a lot. The U.S. Marshal headquarters is an amazing place."
Boram said she wanted a criminal justice experience beyond the Upper Ohio Valley.
"I looked into the internship with West Liberty because I thought it would be a great opportunity to experience the criminal justice field out of the area," she said. "I was especially excited to be interning in our nation's capital."
Boram lived in the NoMa area, a neighborhood located just north of the U.S. Capitol and Union Station and named for its location — North of Massachusetts Avenue.
"Returning to WLU following her internship, she was able to apply a lot of what she learned in D.C. to her classes, including a detailed research project in her research methods course," said Keith Bell, assistant professor of criminal justice. "She is an excellent student who holds down a full time job while performing well in the classroom."
Her internship duties included clerical work in the Office of Court Security, Research and Evaluation Branch that dealt with courthouses throughout the United States and the safety of the judicial systems, while also conducting research into explosives trace detection technology and identifying manufacturers in the industry. She also researched and reported on additive manufacturing as well as the Real ID Act and its implications for security screening and entry into federal court facilities and took a class on forensic psychology.
"It was everything I hoped it would be. I met other students from other regions and we learned and shared with each other as we performed our duties," Boram said. "I encourage every student to look into this internship opportunity."
A resident of Wheeling, Boram will return to the WLU campus in the fall to complete her bachelor of science in criminal justice degree. She hopes to return to the nation's capital in the future for work.
Her internship was arranged by WLU's Beverly Burke, senior administrative assistant to the provost. Burke is the campus liaison to the Washington Center and has arranged internships for approximately 70 students since West Liberty first became affiliated with the Washington Center in 1997. She also serves on the National Liaison Advisory Board to the Washington Center for Internships and Academic Programs, which gives her the opportunity to stay abreast of new initiatives and programming as they become available to students.
Students in Washington right now include rising seniors Justin Byers of Bunker Hill, interning with the Department of Justice and Tyler McGary of Flushing, Ohio, interning with the Department of the Interior. Byers is a criminal justice major and McGary is a finance and accounting major. Both began their internships on May 28.
"The Washington internships give West Liberty criminal justice students the opportunity to learn from students all over the country as well as organizations on the state and federal level," Bell said. "For many students, this is the first opportunity to live in a major city and the life and work experience that each takes away is rewarding. Students who have taken advantage of the Washington internship have greatly expanded their employment opportunities in the criminal justice field through extensive work experience and countless professional references."

Here's what you need to know:
1. In the decade between 1996 and 2006, there was a 272 percent population-adjusted increase in outpatient rotator cuff repairs.
2. The rate of complications and adverse events following orthopedic surgery performed at an ASC ranges from 0.05 percent to 20 percent.
3. When considering both surgical and patient risk factors, the most common complications following orthopedic surgery at an ASC are pain, nausea, infection, impaired healing and bleeding.
4. The most important surgeon-controlled factors related to complications are surgical time, type of anesthesia and site of surgery.
5. The most important patient risk factors related to complications are older age, female sex, diabetes mellitus, smoking status and high body mass index.
The article concludes, "As the use of ASCs continues to rise, an understanding of risk factors and outcomes becomes increasingly important to guide indications for and management of orthopedic surgery in the outpatient setting."

I made one out of a chunk of 3/4" oak plywood and bolted it to the deck. When it breaks I have a solid piece of oak to make a new one out of. When that breaks I'll make one out of steel.

VIDEO: Manchester United held at in-form Birmingham; Rosicky saves Arsenal a point after Everton dominate at the Emirates
Birmingham 1 – Manchester United 1 (Premier League, January 9, 2010) (Longer highlights here.)Â United fell behind at in-form Birmingham conceding a horrible goal from a 38th minute corner, Bowyer managed to keep the ball in the mixer after an initial partial clearance, Evans scuffed a dreadful effort about one yard upfield, and Cameron Jerome poked the ball into an empty net. (First half highlights here.) Despite being second best United levelled on the hour mark when Evra fizzed a ball into the danger area and Scott Dann turned the ball into his net under pressure from Rooney. Darren Fletcher saw red six minutes from time fore a second bookable offence.
Sir Alex Ferguson's post match interview can be seen here.
Arsenal 2 – Everton 2 (Premier League, January 9, 2010) (Longer highlights here, extended highlights here.)Â In the only surviving 3pm kick-off in snowy England, Everton sprung a surprise early doors at Arsenal as Leon Osman headed home Landon Donovan's first ever corner for the Toffees after 12 minutes. The Gunners continued to be off the pace after the goal, but after putting together an attack around the Everton box in the 26th minute, the returning Denilson saw his shot deflect off Osman and into the net. (First half highlights here.) A blizzard took over the Emirates after the break but it failed to break Everton's stronghold on the match, and just over ten minutes from time the Toffees scored a brilliant and deserved second when Steven Pienaar broke the home offside on the halfway-line, raced 30-yards, and cheekily lifted the ball over Almunia. But Arsenal refused to be beaten, and in the 91st minute a typical attack saw Diaby provide the perfect pass for Tomas Rosicky, whose shot looped off defender Neill and over Howard.
Cardiff 1 – Blackpool 1 (Championship, January 9, 2010) Mark Hudson's ninth minute header from Peter Whittingham's free-kick saw them take the lead and Josh Magennis almost made it two, with his header hitting the bar. But Blackpool ensured they got a share of the spoils when Charlie Adam netted from close range just seconds after halftime.
Leeds 1 – Wycombe 1 (League One, January 9, 2010) Wycombe fell behind after just four minutes when Jonny Howson's speculative shot from just outside the penalty box found the bottom left corner. The visitors levelled when Davies played a long pass to Jon-Paul Pittman, who cut in from the left to fire past Ankergren.
Sevilla 1 – Racing Santander 2 (La Liga, January 9, 2010) (Longer highlights here.) A terrific chipped finish from Sergio Canales fired Racing into the lead at Sevilla. 18-year-old Sergio Canales netted his brace in the 38th minute with another fine finish, this time beating both the keeper and a defender before smashing home his second. Sevilla clawed themselves back into the match just after the hour when Romaric bundled the ball over the line from a free-kick.
Valladolid 0 – Atletico Madrid 4 (La Liga, January 9, 2010) (Longer highlights here.) Atletico took the lead after 18 minutes at Valladolid, a cross field ball picked out Reyes on the left and his cutback was swept home by Jose Manuel Jurado. The Rojiblancos, who started the match just a point above their hosts, doubled their lead on the half hour as Diego Forlan struck. Atletico killed the match off on the hour when Jose Antonio Reyes walloped a fierce daisycutter from outside the box that skidded into the far corner. Kun Aguero added a fourth in injury time to complete the whitewash.
Villareal 1 – Almeria 1 (La Liga, January 9, 2010) Nilmar headed the Yellow Submarine into a 40th minute lead, Miguel Angel Corona equalised from the penalty spot.
Inter Milan 4 – Siena 3 (Serie A, January 9, 2010) (Longer highlights here.) A breathtaking 30-yard drive from Massimo Maccarone that appeared the gather pace en route to goal fired Siena ahead at the San Siro. Inter weren't behind for long, a 23rd minute counter-attack saw Sneijder release Diego Milito over the top and the Argentine rifled a low shot into the corner. Inter moved into the lead when Wesley Sneijder cracked a picture-perfect free-kick into the near post. But Siena went into the break all-square when Swedish midfielder Albin Ekdal scored to end the first half 2-2. With Mourinho barking orders from the sideline, Siena broke in the 65th minute down the right and all too easily Salva saw his cutback tucked home by Maccarone for his brace. With two minutes to go Inter levelled again as their player of the season, Wesley Sneijder, once again dragged them out of a hole with a free-kick. But there was a further twist as in the 92nd minute Inter built one last attack and Walter Samuel fired the black and blues to an incredible 4-3 victory.
Roma 1 – Chievo 0 (Serie A, January 9, 2010) (Longer highlights here.) Roma took just 48 seconds to break the deadlock with Chievo, Daniele De Rossi rising high to head home a corner. The hosts had to play the majority of the game with 10 men after Alexander Doni was sent off for a handball after 12 minutes, while Luca Toni made his first start for I Lupi as the lone striker.
Saturday's action in Serie B can be seen here.
Strasbourg 1 – Lyon 3 (Coupe De France, January 9, 2010) Bafetimbi Gomis opened the scoring with a terrific volley from the edge of the box. Michel Bastos claimed a brace for Lyon, Nicolas Fauvergue had made the score 2-1.
Monaco 0* – Tours 0 (Pens. 4-3) (Coupe De France, January 9, 2010) The match finished goalless after 90 minutes and extra time could not separate the sides. The first six spot-kicks were all successful but Monaco goalkeeper Stephane Ruffier then denied Olivier Giroud and Karim Saidi, meaning Eidur Gudjohnsen's strike proved decisive.
Bordeaux 1 – Rodez 0 (Coupe De France, January 9, 2010) Wendell's penalty saw Bordeaux past Rodez Aveyron.

Rio Ave 0 – Benfica 1 (Superliga, January 9, 2010)Â Javier Savola kept the Benfica title challenge on course.
Trabzonspor 6 – Denizli Belediyespor 0 (Turkish Cup, January 9, 2010) Umut Bulut scored a hattrick in the one sided match.
Xanthi 1 – Panathinaikos 2 (Greek Super League, January 9, 2010) A cock-up in the home defence midway through the first half gifted Djibril Cisse time and space to notch his seventh goal in four games for the Greek league leaders. Djibril Cisse continued his incredible purple patch with a second for Pana at the death, while there was still time for Dimitrios Souanis to claim an even later consolation for the hosts.
Levadiakos 0 – PAOK 2 (Greek Super League, January 9, 2010) Goals in each half from Vladimir Ivic and Lino wrapped up the points for PAOK.
Wellington Pheonix 3 – Brisbane Roar 1 (A-League, January 9, 2010) Tim Brown put the home side ahead on 26 minutes before Eugene Dadi stole the show with a brace in the second half, the first an incredible bicycle kick. Sergio van Dijk pulled one back for Brisbane late on.
Gold Coast United 1 – Adelaide United 1 (A-League, January 9, 2010) A 20th minute opener from Reds captain Travis Dodd, who was found unmarked at the back post by Mathew Leckie, looked to won the match for Adelaide.

To the active members of Alpha Delta Phi,
Finals week is approaching, and on behalf of the alumni, I'd like to wish all of our active members luck on their final exams. It's always great to see how much work you put into your philanthropic and social efforts throughout the school year, and it's important to let you know that your academic pursuits are not forgotten.
Finals week can be one of the biggest hurdles you face throughout your college career, and when it becomes daunting, it's easy to feel isolated in frustration. Please know that the alumni are here to support you and hope you are doing all you can to not only maintain a good name for your fraternity, but for yourselves as well. We've all been there, and while the material may have changed, some study methods remain tried and true.
– Find study partners and quiz each other.
– Make sure you understand all your notes.
– Make charts, diagrams, graphs, lists and flash cards.
– Try to avoid pulling all-nighters if possible (although this works better for some)
– Turn off the video games for the week.
– Turn off or silence phones during study sessions.
– Limit your use of Facebook, Twitter, etc. to minimize potential distractions.
– Remember to eat healthy and exercise.
– Get plenty of sleep.
– Help other brothers study and prepare for their own exams when you can.
Finals week should be viewed as a time when your normal routine may need to be changed a bit to prepare for everything you've been learning this past semester. Keep your priorities in check for the week and you'll do great.
You may even discover some new study aides to help you along the way. If you never listen to Taylor Swift but you've found her music helps you remember Calc VII and the names of prominent Baroque painters, by all means crack open those books, throw on a little "Teardrops On My Guitar" and go pop some neurons!
Stay focused guys. You've come all this way and this is the last challenge of the school year. We're all proud of you for what you've done for this chapter, and we look forward to hearing about each of your positive academic achievements after finals week!
Nik VanDenMeerendonk, MN '05

Shazam! It's SeattleJS time again. Join us the 2nd Thursday in July at Galvanize for a heart-stopping, death-defying, and spell-binding meetup where we'll be learning about about security and web workers. Why are you still reading and not clicking the RSVP button?
Topic 1: Continuous Security
by Adam Baldwin
@adam_baldwin | gh evilpacket
Adam's talk will discuss how to shift culture to give application security the attention that it needs and how to adopt a continuous security process for your team, one that isn't obstructive and annoying but enabling so you can write better, more secure software.
Adam Baldwin is the Chief Security Officer at &yet and the Team Lead at ^lift security where he helps developers secure all the web things! He is the Founder of the Node Security Project & talks about node security non-stop. In his free time Adam enjoys doing basically the exact same stuff he does for work, also raising chickens, and spending as much time as possible with his wife and 2 children.
Topic 2: Rise of the Workers
by Parashuram N
Modern web applications are awesome. And complicated. The Javascript libraries that power them today do a lot of work to abstract away the hard parts. Whether using constructs like Virtual DOM, or fancy change detection algorithms, the amount of work that the Javascript library does is only increasing.
Unfortunately, all this work now competes for the same resources that the browser needs, to do things like render a page, or apply styles. In many cases, this makes the browser slow, preventing the web application from attaining its full, smooth experience.
Parashuram is a front end developer and web performance enthusiast and author of tools like browser-perf. He has created the Web Worker based render for ReactJS and runs "science-like" experiments to explore ways to make web applications faster.
He is also an open source contributor, a committer in the Apache Cordova project and works as a Program Manager in Microsoft.
Thank you to Galvanize for hosting!
SeattleJS is recorded and available each month after editing is complete. See past recordings on the SeattleJS channel on YouTube.
If you're interested in presenting at a future Seattle JS meetup, feel free to

A trade pre-apprenticeship course at TAFE or other Registered Training Organisations is highly recommended for people who are unsure of what trade is best suited to them. A pre-apprenticeship is a full-time course you can choose to complete before you sign on to do an apprenticeship.
Advantages of doing a pre-apprenticeship course:
- A pre-apprenticeship course will allow you to try out a trade before committing to a long term contract or Training Agreement with an employer. You can try a trade and see if it really suits you before committing to a longer term apprenticeship.
- It increases your competitiveness in getting an apprenticeship. You will have an edge over someone who is untrained when applying for an apprenticeship with an employer if you can demonstrate you already have some skills.
- It gives you advanced standing in apprenticeship studies. A pre-apprentice course will have already taught you some things you will learn as an apprentice, so you can skip those units that teach skills in which you are already competent.
- The Construction Training Fund (CTF) offer a $250.00 subsidy to the successful completion of a pre apprenticeship course to assist in the cost of the TAFE course.
- Pre-apprentices traditionally have extremely high rates of success in gaining apprenticeships after their training.

Tigers are amazing creatures, but all of the subspecies of tiger are at risk from habitat loss and poaching. Of particular concern is the Sumatran tiger, the smallest suriving subspecies of tiger, and the last to survive of the tigers that live in the Indonesian archipelago. There could be as few as 300 Sumatran tigers left in the wild, and they will not survive without support.
Now, some bright spark at the Zoological Society of London noticed that the collective noun for a group of tigers is a 'streak'. And given that there are only around 300 Sumatran tigers left, what better way to highlight the issue and get support for ZSL's work with tigers than to get 300 humans to streak around London Zoo to raise money and awareness.
I am going to be one of those humans. Now I know that my legs are on public display daily, and I suspect that most of my climbing friends are familiar with the sight of my bare chest, but getting completely nekkid in public is going to be a new experience for me, and I have to confess that I'm a little nervous.
Also, just to up the stakes a bit, I have a fundraising goal. If I raise more than £500, I'm not just going to run around London Zoo naked. I'm going to run around London Zoo covered (entirely and only) in tiger body paint. Entertaining (and legal!) suggestions for what to do in the unlikely case that I get to £1000 will be entertained. :-)
Anyway, tigers are awesome, the ZSL does excellent work with them (and in many other ways), and I'm going to get my kit off, and possibly get painted as a tiger. If any or all of those things appeal to you (!), then make a donation.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now.

text: Black River Cafe is a "localvore" restaurant that has nice options for vegans on both of its menus. For breakfast, I had the vegan pancakes with blueberries and a side of tempeh bacon. For dinner, I ordered the gnocchi, which came with a tangy caper sauce. Both menu items were clearly labeled "vegan," which took the guesswork out of my meals. I have to admit that the exterior of Black River Cafe is a bit underwhelming, but the restaurant more than made up for the bland ambience with the quality of its cuisine.

In the event that you would want to make your wedding photos more dramatic from an artistic point of view, why not consider doing a 'Trash The Dress' photo session! This is a type of wedding photography that has been around for quite some time now and it involves the bride taking photos with their gown without the usual reservations taken into account on their wedding day. Trash the dress sessions usually take place the day after the wedding or when the couple is back from their honeymoon. It is a trend that is increasingly becoming popular where you also see women doing a trash the dress session after a divorce for the purposes of signifying a new beginning.
In case you are contemplating as to whether you should do a trash the dress session. Consider the following reasons.
It's simply fun!
Imagine yourself using your imagination and taking photos with your wedding dress without any reservations. This is absolutely fun since you will be able to find photogenic and creative ways to have awesome photos whether you are on the beach walking, running or simply rolling in the mud! Imagine the breathtaking beautiful photos you can take when swimming with your wedding dress on.
It's a form of art
All trash the dress sessions go on to make amazing wall art especially when you employ a professional wedding photographer who knows all techniques that photography involve. The artsy vibe and high fashion associated with this session will leave you awed and glad that you undertook the trash the dress session especially when you hang the pictures on the wall for your guests to marvel at.
Symbolizes freedom
Most brides are usually anxious when it comes to choosing their wedding dress and having it fit perfectly. Undertaking the session symbolizes freedom in that the anxiety associated with the dress and the whole event is over and now you are free!
More photographs
This is also a way of having more wedding photos in your gallery and this is when they are taken in unusual places such as the park, forest or beach. Ten or twenty years down the line, you get to marvel at the photos and thank yourself that you put your dress into good use rather than letting it sit in a dusty dark closet!
No one asks whether you are crazy!
If anyone sees you running around barefoot with the dress looking all wet and dirty, they will definitely not stop and ask you whether you are crazy or not! Reason being that this is actually the most opportune time to take absolutely ridiculously fun photos while also having fun in the process.
Another awesome reason as to why you should have a trash the dress session is because you will not need to worry about the ceremony, time or your parents. This is a session where you will be alone with your photographer and have a blast while taking photos so consider having the session and you will be glad that you did!

Home Member Missionaries From a Young Single Sister: Why Not Serving a Mission Can Take...
From a Young Single Sister: Why Not Serving a Mission Can Take Just as Much Faith as Serving
Lately I've been hearing this phrase from LDS boys— "I'll only marry a return missionary."
After the missionary age change this seemed like a reasonable enough mandate. Young Men and Young Women could serve at virtually the same time, and at a young enough age that it doesn't interfere with a college education too much; virtually everyone could plan to go. Plus, if girls could say they wanted an "RM" couldn't boys too?
I had no problem with this stipulation when I planned to serve a mission.
For three years I've been actively preparing for my mission. And I've told anyone who was interested that I'm going, I'm planning on it, and I'm as capable as any boy.

Yes. Utilizing our local SBDC (Small Business Development Center) professionals, and working on providing operating capital I was able to secure a significant loan at a reasonable rate of interest and a fixed payback. The biggest issue was over the first 12 months having to have recap and review from the SBDC counselor to be sure we were still on track. In my opinion, this is also where the Obama administration made a pitch to make these loans political. That is in the forms, there was a question that if this loan is made, "How many jobs were saved or expanded" which has been used by the administration to "prove" their point. Whichever way you feel about that is your own opinion, but it was a part of the loan. There is a company known as Borrego Springs Bank, which is owned by the native Americans who have tons of money from gambling proceeds that make these loans easily and get U.S. government to secure them. Good luck with the loan. It is a good way to go if you can.

Inventurist thanks for the response. Sounds like you did it the right way. I have done biz with Borrego in the past and I found them pretty good at the SBA process.

Luxury Apartments Get Even Better
Developers and owners of multifamily housing are luring high-income renters into the best Houston apartments and apartment buildings by making the apartments larger and adding a long list of attractive, and in some cases exotic, amenities. Whether the trend of building luxury apartment rentals in Houston will continue is anybody's guess, but right now, apartment residents who can afford to pay thousands of dollars a month in rent on the best Houston apartments can find a wide variety of special services to meet their personal needs and desires.
The annual number of apartment buildings constructed has fluctuated wildly over the past two decades, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. In 1975, 442,000 units were built. That figure dropped to 343,000 the next year, then increased steadily to 636,000 apartments at the height of the real estate market in 1986. Four years later, the number dropped back to 342,000. The real estate market weakened in 1992-94, and in 1993, only 153,000 apartment units were completed. Last year, the total was 284,000.
The average size of all those new apartment units varied as wildly as the number being built. In 1975, the average new apartment was one thousand square feet. The smallest average, 911 square feet -- coincided with the building boom in 1986. Since then, the average new apartment has been steadily increasing to a high of 1,095 square feet last year.
These larger apartments come with lots of goodies for apartment residents. A literature review by the National Multi Housing Council (NMHC), found the following amenities in one or more multifamily housing settings:
- Private in-unit alarm systems, including systems to allow residents to view entry gates, pools and play areas via closed-circuit television.
- In-wall speaker systems with theater-quality sound.
- Units pre-wired for multiple telephone lines.
- Computer workstations with high-speed Internet access.
- Units with integrated cable TV and Internet service.
- Coin-less or smart-card laundry rooms and vending machines.
- Private entries, split levels and attached garages.
- Nine-foot ceilings with crown moldings.
- Bay windows and skylights.
- Double-sided fireplaces in master bedrooms and living areas.
- Better soundproofing and larger water heaters.
- Keyless entry systems.
- Moldings, mantles, chair rails and other interior finishes.
The Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University also reports new amenities popping up in apartments. Consumer demands, according to the center, include full-size washing machines and dryers in the apartment, large-capacity water heaters, security, natural lighting, five- or six-foot windows, parking and large mailboxes.
Not all of the fancy technology works as well as promised, however. An apartment complex in Houston, Texas was wired with T-1 lines, which were supposed to give tech-savvy apartment residents very high-speed Internet access. Unfortunately, the apartment complex developer wasn't as up to speed with the technology as the apartment residents were. The service was so poor they reportedly started calling the wiring "Info highway to hell."

Pensioner found guilty of killing partner and her daughter at his puppy farm in Farnham
A CALLOUS pensioner has been found guilty of killing his girlfriend and her daughter at their puppy farm home in Farnham.
John Lowe has always denied the two counts of murder and a single firearms charge.
He had previously claimed the incident was "a terrible accident".
However, the 82-year-old, from Surrey, allegedly told police in an interview that both women had to be be "put down".
Guildford Crown Court heard how Lowe gunned down Christine Lee, 66, and Lucy Lee, 40 in February this year.
A 999 call from Lucy heard her tell an emergency services operator: "I don't know if I'm going to be alive if I go back in there. He shot my mum."
Prosecuting, Mark Dennis QC, told the court police were greeted at the scene by "carnage".
Christine Lee's other daughter, Stacy Banner, told cops that she had been threatened with his guns in March last year.
Officers had subsequently removed the rifles from his home but later gave them back.
Discussing her final words to the operator, Banner said outside the court: "The courage of her final words inspire me. She was so very brave.
"I am trying hard to draw on her strength and live up to her high standard as I move forward with my life but it is hard.
"John Lowe brutally and deliberately murdered my mum and my sister by shooting each of them at close range with a shotgun - they did not stand a chance."
She added: "My life stopped when their lives ended on February 23 this year."

Senator Ben McAdams and Representative LaVar Christensen will host a roundtable discussion on foreclosures in Utah on January 18, 2011.
RealtyTrac reported this month that Utah had the nation's 5th highest foreclosure rate among the states in 2010, representing a 19.82% increase from 2009 and a 119% increase from 2008. One in every 29 Utah housing units received a foreclosure notice during 2010. The housing crisis is tipping in the wrong direction in Utah and it requires a solution.
Representative LaVar Christensen and Senator Ben McAdams, working with the forum's sponsors, are hosting a public forum and panel discussion that will examine the scope of the home foreclosure crisis in Utah and listen to frustrations of individuals and families who have lost their homes due to foreclosures. Christensen and McAdams are both proposing legislation in the 2011 legislative session that would implement a foreclosure mediation program similar to programs adopted by various other states. They are seeking input through this forum on how a Utah home foreclosure mediation program could be structured.
When: Tuesday, January 18, 2011 at 4 pm.
Where: Senate Building, Room 201, Utah State Capitol Complex.
Sponsors: Institute of Advanced Mediation & Problem Solving, Wasatch Advocates, Utah Housing Coalition, Utah Dispute Resolution, Utah Council on Conflict Resolution, Utah State Bar Dispute Resolution Section, and the S.J. Quinney College of Law, University of Utah.

Final day of Magic Millions Gold Coast Sale
THE Magic Millions Gold Coast Sale drew to a close today after 206 lots were sold for an aggregate of $2,458,850 (£1,366,028/€1,543,611). The average selling price was $11,936 (£6,631/€7,493), the median $8,000 (£4,444/€5,022) and the clearance rate 77 per cent.
The top lot of the day was a half-sister to Power Of Ed, the winner of the $100,000 Magic Millions Plate on Saturday. The yearling filly is the second foal of the winning mare Precious Epic, by Iglesia. Helen Page, the trainer of Power Of Ed, went to $55,000 (£30,556/€34,528) for his half-sister by Falvelon who was sold by Epic Farm.
There were nine lots to break the $40,000 (£22,222/€25,111) mark, five of which were fillies. Falvelon was also the sire of a colt and a filly selling for that amount, bought by Washpool Thoroughbreds and Brian Guy respectively.
Grandera, who has recently been transferred to stand in Ireland, was the sire of a $45,000 (£25,000/€28,250) filly out of African Queen.
Magic Millions Managing Director David Chester said:
"There was incredible value on offer at the sale today. The beauty about the Magic Millions Yearling Sale is the great range of horses on offer - a horse for everyone's liking and budget.
"We all saw the rising sprint talent Warrior Girl score a commanding win at the Gold Coast last Saturday - she was purchased from this sale for just $6,000. A couple of years on and she has earned over $160,000 from just three starts!"

Tom Hanks, Howard Stringer Show Prototype Movie Glasses
It was the day's first keynote to open CES. We were there to listen to Sony's Sir Howard Stringer give his bit, but we were first treated to an appearance by actor Tom Hanks, who brought the crowd to life with star power and light humor. To further punctuate his allegiance to Sony, Hanks ran through his long history of products made by the Japanese electronics company.
Hanks then brought Stringer on stage -- not the first time these two have shared the spotlight together. Stringer kicked off his address acknowledging the recession, but told his audience that Sony would make it through with innovative products. This being CES, we would expect no less from any company other than innovation.
We'll go through Sony's other innovations in individual articles to give them their own space, but one thing that both Stringer and Hanks demonstrated at the keynote was a prototype pair of glasses that project a movie image in front of the wearer's eyes. The result is somewhat like a television's picture-in-picture feature but for your eyes. The movie image is displayed off-center, while actual reality is displayed everywhere else.
The concept isn't new, but with Sony putting its R&D behind the technology, we're expecting good things. Hanks himself proclaimed that they were the best pair of glasses Sony has ever produced!

In today's insta-twitter-texting world, are punctuation and grammar slowly becoming a thing of the past? Will sentences become so short we'll revert back to grunts? And who really cares about conjunctions anyway?
I do! (And not just because it keeps me employed.) Grammar mistakes are noticed more often than you think in advertising, and punctuation can be a life-threatening subject.
While language is ever-evolving, clear communication will always be essential. And your brand's correspondence with consumers should be error-free—if not for the sake of your grade school English teacher, then for the sake of your reputation and credibility as a company. Would you interview a candidate for a job position if her resume was riddled with misspellings and improper punctuation? Do you think consumers would take you seriously if your website had the same issues?
And while there can be many ways to approach punctuation (for instance, take the Oxford comma), actually using it (for more than a smiley face), is essential to communicating exactly what you are trying to convey. To share a common example, you can read how the same sentence below holds opposite meanings thanks to a slight difference in punctuation:
A woman without her man is nothing.
A woman: without her, man is nothing.
The power of a comma or colon shouldn't be underestimated, especially in a time when face-to-face meetings and phone calls have been replaced by email.
Eloquently summed up by Lynne Truss, punctuation extraordinaire and author of Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation
"The reason to stand up for punctuation is that without it there is no reliable way of communicating meaning. Punctuation herds words together, keeps others apart. Punctuation directs you how to read, in the way musical notation directs a musician how to play."
In advertising, it's key to remember your brand's voice when writing and editing copy. Some brands are more buttoned up and require stricter guidelines when it comes to grammar and punctuation. Other brands are more laidback, and can benefit from being casual and using slang to properly connect with their target audience.
So, to help you brush up on a few things you may have forgotten since English class, I'll leave you with this, along with a few errors I commonly see:
- Everyday (one word) is an adjective meaning common or ordinary. Every day (two words) means exactly that: each and every day.
- It's as a contraction always means "it is" or "it has."
- There is a difference between may and might. May indicates an actual possibility, while might implies more uncertainty of the possibility happening.
- Finally, definitely is spelled: http://www.d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y.com/

It has been quite the
season for Brighton and Hove Albion. A record points
haul in the Championship, a record low number of defeats
in a season and just two goals away from automatic
promotion to the Premier League. Not bad for a side who
avoided relegation the previous year by one place.
And now is the time to
recognise the achievements of this remarkable set of players
with the coveted WeAreBrighton.com End of Season Awards
There are 11 categories to chose from including the
coveted Player of the Season award won by such players as
Andrew Crofts, Glenn Murray, Liam Bridcutt and Stephen Ward
who all left within six months of taking the crown. Curse,
what curse?
One new category has been
added this year and that is Celebration of the Season.
Having scored the most goals in the division the players
have demonstrated some excellent ways of celebrating and
their efforts in that department have not gone unnoticed.
Happy voting!

Welcome back to our online Inductive Bible Study on the book of Ephesians, "Free from Bondage God's Way" by Kay Arthur. We just completed Week Six, "How Can I Walk in Love?" It's hard to believe we only have one more week of study left. What peace there is to walk in freedom! I pray this study has been liberating to you as it has been for me.
In Chapter 4, Paul encourages the Ephesian believers to "walk in a manner worthy of the calling they have received," forgiving each other just as Christ Jesus has forgiven you. And then in Chapter 5 he commands us to walk in love:
"Be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma." Ephesians 5:2
Do you find it easy to walk in love? In today's world, it is not easy. All we have to do is turn on the news and what do we hear? The top news story is never a love story. It is usually about murder, burglaries, wars, conflicts, etc. etc. Furthermore, families are splitting up, and divorce is on the rise. So how do we as beloved children of God walk in love in a world filled with hatred? We have to be imitators of God (5:1), and walk by His example. We are to give ourselves up to God, because He gave Himself up for us. In other words, we should not fall into a life of sin but rather live a life of love. However, it's impossible to love in our own human flesh. But with God all things are possible.
In our former way of life before coming to Christ we lived in darkness and sin. But now we have come out of the dark into His wonderful light, and so Paul further commands us to walk as children of Light:
"for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light (for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth)…" Ephesians 5:8-9
There is truth and knowledge in the Light. Have you ever noticed that most crimes happen in the dark? Why? Because they do not want to be seen. Light breaks through the darkness and exposes sinful deeds. As people who have light from the Lord, our actions should reflect our faith. We should live above reproach morally so that we will reflect God's goodness to others. We are God's human flashlights, His shining Light, bringing truth to a dark world. When we walk as children of Light, we can walk in love.
Let me challenge you to walk in love this week. Whatever you may be struggling with, ask God to help you show His love and in doing so, others will see the light of Jesus shine through you; therefore, bringing light to a lost and dark world.
Kay Arthur writes in the Thought for the Week…
"Christ is in you, and you are in Him. You have the Spirit. You have His resurrection power! Now walk in the light of it. Walk in love."
- Join a small group and fellowship with your fellow Bible students. https://www.facebook.com/groups/WBCInductiveStudies/

- Register for the Book of Job Inductive Bible study when you CLICK HERE
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR THIS WEEK (answer in small groups or post a comment here)
- According to Ephesians 5:2, we are to walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us? How is it possible to walk in love in a world filled with conflict, violence and hatred?
- In what ways can we walk as children of Light? How can we show God's light to a dark world? (Ephesians 5:8)
- If being "filled with the Spirit" is essentially the same as "letting the word of Christ dwell in you richly," how would you say you are doing, on a scale of one to ten? What do you think you could do to improve being filled with the Holy Spirit? (Ephesians 5:18-19)
- According to Ephesians 5:22-26, what specific things about today's culture are at odds with concepts of a wife submitting to her husband and a husband loving his wife?
- What verse or verses spoke to you the most in Ephesians 5? How will you put this in practice today?
