Back in 1986, a high school wise guy came to Chicago and stirred things up a bit. People danced in the streets and Wrigley Field was taken over by three juvenile delinquents – all for a day off. Now, 25 years later, the legend of Ferris Bueller lives on.
On October 1, in celebration of the film's anniversary, Groupon and Wrigley are setting up three giant movie screens in the ballpark to show the classic film "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." Catch a younger Matthew Broderick, Wrigley Field and the Willis Tower, back when it was known as the Sears Tower. With it taking place on a Saturday night, you don't even have to skip school to attend. Additionally, there will be an attempt to break the world record for singing the movie's anthem, Danke Shoen.
During the movie, pay special attention to the scenes at the baseball game. Do you know the score or what game they are at? Check out some impressive detective work here – you're sure to impress your friends with your knowledge.
Tickets are $10 for bleacher seats, $25 for an outfield lawn seat or $75 for a VIP outfield lawn seat that gets you access to a pre-event party at the Captain Morgan Club, but also be on the lookout because our CEO, Billy Dec, is giving away some tickets on twitter & facebook!
So, dust off your 80s gear, warm-up that voice and grab some close friends to help "Save Ferris!"

Hey BillyDec.com readers! Matt Kochis here, Summer Intern for Billy – thought I would share this fun event happening this weekend! The Chicago Cubs are throwing their first ever "Wrigleyville Block Party!" This block party is inspired by the one-day festival held last year during the Northwestern-Illinois football game at Wrigley. The festival, nicknamed "Wildcat Way," ended up being a great success and the Cubs are hoping the same for their three-day one. I was able to attend the Wildcat Way last year and had a blast at it. Between the food, drinks, good people, and the game, what was not to like? This block party will take place across three weekends during the summer weekend series against the Yankees, Sox, and Cardinals.
The Wrigleyville Block Party will feature live music from some of Chicago's top cover bands, family-friendly activities such as arts and crafts, a basketball hoop attached to PNC Bank's Virtual Wallet Van, a photo booth, a Wii Home Run Derby station, and the new Cubs Trolley complete with eight flat-screen TVs, video game consoles and more. This block party sounds like it is going to be a lot of fun and a great way for the Cubs to provide something extra for their fans. It's nice to see them giving back to their supporters and wanting them to have an awesome time at Wrigley besides just watching the game. Rockit Wrigley is also right across the street so if you ever get hungry or thirsty and don't want what the block party offers, there are other options out there!
The festivities will take place on the Cubs' red and purple parking lots which are located on the west side of Wrigley Field. Party will start at 11 a.m. and go until 8 p.m. daily throughout the festival weekends starting on June 17. Come on out and support the Cubs and join in on the fun that Wrigleyville has to offer!

Wrigley field is one of the most iconic baseball stadiums in the country- located right here in the great city of Chicago and has served as the home field of the Chicago Cubs since 1916. However, did you know that it also was the home of the Chicago Bears (see pic above of the Bears at Wrigley Field) between 1921-1970 & even held the record for holding the most NFL games played within a season up until 2003?
Well I'm super excited that Wrigley will again host football (which hasn't happened in 40 years!) w/ my alma mater, the Illini, going head-to-head w/ the Wildcats on November 20 for this highly awaited collegiate Big 10 conference game. Who will join me to watch this game at Rockit Wrigley with the Chicago Illini Club w/ food & drinks?? For tickets, visit www.chicagoillini.org… Let's go Illini!

Call it what you want, the New Canaan Transfer Station is the go-to place for New Canaan of trash, newspapers, books, computer parts, appliances, batteries, propane and brush.
The general consensus among the folks Patch met on its visit to the Transfer Station is that this a well-oiled machine. It's organized, the people who work there are helpful and friendly, and the price is fair. The annual sticker fee for residents is $40.
People we met came on their way to or from the gym, or before they were "dressed" for the day, so most didn't want their picture taken. One senior citizen said she and five other women make weekly dump runs and call themselves The Dumpsters!
Manager Don Smith has been working at the facility for 28 years, and said the name does cause confusion for some. He said he still gets calls from people asking when the next train is coming in to the Transfer Station.

May be I should create a second round poll of those deserving skaters who were left off.
Alexei Yagudin
Michelle Kwan
Midori Ito
Klimova- Ponomarenko
Shen & Zhao
Mao Asada
Yu na Kim
May be I should create a second round poll of those deserving skaters who were left off.
I would say Kurt Browning. I don't think I have ever seen a negative comment about him on FSU, and his name comes up fairly often.
I voted for Gordeeva/Grinkov and Michelle Kwan (no-brainers), then Torvill/Dean. I maybe should have voted for Yagudin instead of Torvill and Dean but I think my eyes were drawn to T/D since I like them so much lol.
blue_idealist, my votes just went to G/G, Kwan and Yagudin.
Alexei Yagudin, Gordeeva and Grinkov, and other- Elena and Anton.
agree with the top three of most beloved
for me is Michelle Kwan
i agree with G & G , alexi for Fsu
I notice this poll is less successful than its Most Hated counterpart. Not as many comments, not as many total votes , seems like there are around 40 FSU members who don't love any of the World/Olympic champions, they just hate some in the other thread.
Maybe a new poll about who's the most hated of the beloved ones or who's the most beloved of the impopular ones would be a fun variation to the polls that are usually started on this message board the results of which we can easily predict.
Although she isn't the best. My favorite has always been Carolina, before and after world championships 2012
Kwan and Yagudin win every poll here ( and rightfully so, IMO).
Would have loved to see Lambiel included, he has tremendous following.
G/G, T/D and S/Z close behind.
improving my ballad- like lines

Mind you, this was at the same show, where earlier, Gartner analyst Yvonne Genovese had tore into Ballmer like a hurricane saying she had installed Vista for her daughter -- and two days later went right back to using XP . "It's safe, it works, all the hardware is fine, and everything is great," Genovese said
She went on to say that "What we're seeing and what we're hearing from users is a very similar thing. It's difficult to implement." Amen sister. Vista is junk. And, yes, I speak from experience. I finally got Vista to work properly with all my hardware and software on one PC after 16-months of trying. But, hey, at least I got everything to work. A lot of people haven't been so lucky.
Microsoft has been stepping back from Vista for some time now. In early October, Microsoft quietly announced that it was extending sales of XP Professional SP3. In my opinion, XP SP3 is a much better operating system than Vista will ever be. Before that, Microsoft started fast-tracking Windows 7 and deemphasizing Vista. I've also noticed that, after giving up on those terrible Bill Gates and Seinfeld ads, Microsoft's equally awful "I'm a PC" ads seem to be disappearing off the airwaves.
What Microsoft has not done though is tell us exactly what we're getting in Windows 7. Is it just warmed over Vista? After all, at the Gartner conference, Ballmer said, ""Windows Vista is good; Windows 7 is Windows Vista with cleanup in user interface [and] improvements in performance." Good luck with that idea guys! Or is it as Mike Nash, vice president of Windows product management, said at the same show "It is in every way a major effort in design, engineering and innovation."
I'm betting on 7 being Vista SP2 with a lot of marketing hype.
Be that as it may, Microsoft's Vista failure is continuing to give both the Linux desktop and the Mac a window to make gains on the desktop. Apple, with its continued run of great new Macs, albeit not as cheap as many people would like to see, is doing well at this.
What Apple needs to do now is to start giving those fab machines some strong business and technical support. Lots of individual business users love their Macs. Apple needs to make it easier for IT departments to love Macs as well.
As for the Linux desktop, Novell, with SLED (SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop) 10, is the only company that's making it easy for business users to jump to the Linux desktop. That's not enough.
The Linux desktop needs three technical improvements. These are: better laptop power management; more of the applications that users want; and, like it or lump it, better Windows interoperability/virtualization.
But, come on; Linux already has better technology in Windows in important areas like security and stability. What it really needs is for the Linux vendors to deliver more and better business support for desktop Linux. Red Hat isn't interested; they're making their billions from servers. But others like Canonical and Ubuntu; Xandros; and Mandriva could give Novell competition in the SMB and enterprise desktop space. They just need to get their Linuxes installed natively into more PCs and put more muscle into their technical and business sales support staff.
Ballmer is continuing to give the Mac and Linux an excellent shot to grab the desktop. Now, it's up to Apple and the Linux distributors to seize their opportunity.

ACC Football Pick'Em/Links – Week 8
ACCBlogger.com picks week eight in the ACC…
- 10/20/12 Virginia Tech (4-3, 2-1 ACC) @ No. 14 Clemson (5-1, 2-1 ACC) [-8] / Noon / ABC-ESPN2 (Reverse mirror)
The Lead: In the thick of wide-open Coastal race, the Hokies look for a little revenge against a Tigers team that had their number last season.
Bringing the Noise: It's a battle of Commonwealth QBs Saturday. Frank Beamer says he's a fan of the Clemson offense, while Bud Foster says it's a "booger" to defend. Shakin the Southland Q&A previews with Gobbler Country and The Key Play Q&A previews with STS. The Hokies are trying to focus on Clemson and not revenge. Gobbler Country has the game guide. TKP talks some more Tigers here. From earlier in the week, Hokies center Andrew Miller is out for the season. What can Clemson expect from the Hokies – the unexpected?
Watch 4: Clemson offense offense, again, to be too much
Can't really blame any defense facing Chad Morris' offense with the ACC leader in passing (Tajh Boyd), rushing (Andre Ellington) and receiving (DeAndre Hopkins), but with the home-field (Clemson 15-2 over last 3 season, winners of nine-straight), and an offense that had success already against Bud Foster's D (19 explosive plays and 30.5 points per game) – an upset doesn't seem likely.
The Picks: Brandon Rink – Clemson 38-24; Griffin Wong – Clemson 27-17; J.J. Greenstein – Clemson 31-21; W. Gustin Vandiford – Clemson 45-28; Billy Watson – Clemson 45-31;
- Wake Forest (3-3, 1-3 ACC) @ Virginia (2-5, 0-3 ACC) [-3.5] / 12:30 p.m. ET/ ACC Network
The Lead: Both coming off loss to Maryland, the Deacs and 'Hoos look to get back on track and preserve some hope for bowl trip come December.
Bringing the Noise: Phillip Sims is looking for improvement in start No. 3. Perry Jones is looking to keep on track as a factor in the 'Hoos offense. Blogger So Dear went on Streaking the Lawn's blog and picked the Deacs. STL is staying positive, picking Virginia by a TD.
Watch 4: In battle of struggling offenses, defenses – more experienced QB to come out on top
Good luck figuring out Virginia – all I know is they shouldn't be 2-5, but they sure aren't giving anything to inspire confidence in a turnaround. One of their bigger issues is no home-field advantage – now 3-12 in their last 15 ACC home games and just 4-5 against FBS opponents stretching back to last season. If you can't win at home, it's an uphill climb all season. The Deacs, under Jim Grobe, usually sneak up on somebody on the road, winning at Duke and BC last season. Still, it's hard to like any team in a matchup of scoring offenses and defenses all ranked 87th or worse nationally, but give me Tanner Price and co. off the bye.
The Picks: Rink – WF 27-24; Wong – WF 24-10; Greenstein – UVa 28-14; Vandiford – UVa 16-13; Watson – UVa 24-14;
- Boston College (1-5, 0-3 ACC) @ Georgia Tech (2-4, 1-3 ACC) [-14] / 3:00 p.m. ET / RSN
The Lead: The Spaz farewell tour (at least, ya think so) rolls into the ATL, where the Jackets look to push the reset button on the season after the bye.
Bringing the Noise: From the Rumble Seat helps you get to know the Eagles. Looking for a rally, the margin of error is thin starting Saturday for Georgia Tech. Oh, and the AJC also outlined a way the Jackets can still win the Coastal. Tevin Washington is holding on to his job in Atlanta. BC gets a second-chance, unfortunately, against a run-based offense. BC fans, understandably, are a little more worried about the coaching situation. FTRS' keys to the game.
Watch 4: BC to have similar success in stopping a run offense to Army game
516 rushing yards, they gave up to the Black Knights in a 34-31 road loss. Against the No. 3 rushing offense (two spots behind Army) – off a bye – yeah, not good for the Eagles. But if BC can shake the 51-7 loss at FSU last week, there will be opportunities to exploit a 98th-ranked pass defense and put some points to answer.
The Picks: Rink – GT 41-24; Wong – GT 28-16; Greenstein – GT 28-10; Vandiford – GT 35-10; Watson – GT 27-21;
- NC State (4-2, 1-1 ACC) [-3] @ Maryland (4-2, 2-0 ACC) / 3:30 p.m. ET / ESPNU
The Lead: Maryland is gunning for its best ACC start since 2001 (5-0), while NC State tries to break up a streak of 16-straight divisional losses.
Bringing the Noise: ACC Now has some interesting stats on NC State of late on the road (more on all of the road woes here). The bye where it comes helps the Pack though. Maryland and NC State's SB Nation sites exchange Q&A previews here and here. Testudo Times' first look at the game and the same on Backing the Pack here.
Watch 4: Terps' run to end against solid State offense
A common thread in the last two Terrapin wins is facing similarly struggling offenses – not the case Saturday, State managing to put the second-most points on FSU (albeit, 17) and posting 664 yards and 37 points the week before at Miami. The jury still out for a Maryland defense that is obviously improved, ranking ninth nationally in total and rushing defense, but outside of West Virginia, haven't faced another offense currently better than 70th in scoring. NC State's road woes, in division play, at 0-13 under Tom O'Brien is troubling though, but if he can't pull this one out off a bye – you start to wonder about this State program that otherwise, controls its destiny in the Atlantic.
The Picks: Rink – NCSU 24-20; Wong – MD 17-13; Greenstein – NCSU 28-25; Vandiford – MD 21-17; Watson – NCSU 31-24;
- UNC (5-2, 2-1 ACC) [-10.5] @ Duke (5-2, 2-1 ACC) / 7:00 p.m. ET / ESPNU
The Lead: The battle for the Victory Bell goes down in Durham – Duke, again, shooting for the six win mark, and UNC, for a third-straight week, playing a spoiler role in the crazy Coastal.
Bringing the Noise: Inside Carolina takes a look at the Blue Devils. Larry Fedora talks Duke in the coaches teleconference. David Cutcliffe and players talk UNC here. Off a tough loss, Duke has to reset the focus going for bowl eligibility. Duke Hoop Blog has more Duke football notes (I know, I'm confused too). But wait, there's more – Duke could already be bowl-eligible! BDN Q&A previews the Heels.
Watch 4: Blue Devils to take UNC to the wire
I want to pick the upset. I really do, but a banged-up Blue Devil team off a tough loss is a tough pick. UNC is in unfamiliar territory, winners of four-straight, and prone to a letdown game – sitting around until a 7 p.m. kickoff at Wallace Wade. But as we saw last week, the margin of error is thin for Duke. No lead is safe, and things can spiral out of control. This could be a lot like Duke-Virginia Tech last season (14-10 Hokies win), where the Blue Devils have multiple opportunities to take it in the fourth quarter.
The Picks: Rink – UNC 27-21; Wong – Duke 27-21; Greenstein – Duke 31-24; Vandiford – Duke 35-28; Watson – Duke 24-17;
- No. 12 FSU (6-1, 3-1 ACC) [-21] @ Miami (4-3, 3-1 ACC) / 8:00 p.m. ET / ABC
The Lead: Miami was a play here or there against UNC last week from cranking up the hype machine for this one, but with the starting QB doubtful to play, they come in under the radar hosting the No. 12 rival 'Noles.
Bringing the Noise: Tomahawk Nation's news & notes from Wednesday. The were the Q&Aee for Miami's SB nation blog here. Miami is looking to step it up defensively against the 'Noles. Miami is expecting a sellout. If you were wondering, Jimbo Fisher and Al Golden have a "positive" relationship. With Stephen Morris' health in question, Ryan Williams is readying for his time in the spotlight. TN's overview of the 'Canes – he took all of the reps Wednesday. State of the U talks depth chart.
Watch 4: FSU to continue post-State loss impressiveness
NC State, more or less, provided the model – limit big plays and hang around (basically the gameplan against any top team). For the most part, Miami did that last week against one of the better offenses in the (UNC, 18 points allowed), but FSU's offense may very well have turned a corner after the struggles at NC State – rolling up over 600 yards and 51 points against BC (E.J. Manuel 27-for-34 with 439 passing yards and 4 TDs alone). It explains the three-TD spread in a series that's typically been close outside of the last time in Miami (45-17 'Noles win). At best, Miami has backup QB (Ryan Williams) or a limited Stephen Morris (ankle) – not a upset-combination, but with tough games for both Duke and Virginia Tech Saturday, they'll likely still be at the forefront of the Coastal race.

The second annual Team Kenneth Co-Ed Softball Tournament will be staged this Saturday and Sunday, June 8 and 9 at Collins Park.
A full field of 14 teams is entered to play in the double-elimination event, which begins at 8 a.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. Sunday.
Team Kenneth was founded in memory of Kenneth G. Wesley Bickford, who passed away on Oct. 17, 2010 after a battle with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). The disease left the youngster with a cancerous tumor that grew inside of his brain stem.
Team Kenneth fights to bring awareness to and raise funds for DIPG, for which there is no cure.
Search Team Kenneth on Facebook.
Call Traci Bickford at 304-575-7004 or Janie Bowling at 304-890-5530 for more information, to make a donation or to perhaps volunteer a couple hours of your time to umpire or help in other ways.
The public is invited to attend this weekend's tournament, catch a little softball action and bring awareness to DIPG.

An Observer of Travel & Trends, Rock Stars & Religion
Luxury Travel Guest Author, Maureen Jenkins, has seen the world.
Maureen grew up in Chicago and studied at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University just outside the Windy City. She later earned a master's in Theological Studies from Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, on Northwestern's campus.
(Were you wondering about the seminary degree? Says Maureen, "My idea was to be able to report and write thoughtfully about religion and pop culture for secular newspapers. After all, how else can a reporter get an article about spirituality-tinged tunes by Lauryn Hill, Alanis Morissette, and Jewel onto the front page of a newspaper's 'Faith & Values' section?")
Maureen has spent most of her career in newsrooms across the U.S. She has been a staff reporter at the Rockford (Ill.) Register Star, The Oregonian, Charlotte Observer, Arizona Republic and the Chicago Sun-Times (two stints).
Along with religion, Maureen's beats have covered the lifestyle realm: fashion, dining, entertainment, celebrities, and travel.
Besides her work for Luxury Travel, Maureen's freelance writing includes news articles and feature stories on lifestyle subjects for the Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago Tribune, Ebony, JET, and Today's Chicago Woman magazine.
Maureen also maintains two blogs: Urban Travel Girl, which "encourages black women to live globally through international travel," and TCW Travel Connection for Today's Chicago Woman.
Maureen's Aviation-Related Other Life
Before her current foray into full-time freelancing, Maureen worked for The Boeing Company in Employee Communications. She also supported Boeing Commercial Airplanes' Latin America, Africa, and Caribbean sales team.
She was also an award-winning reporter and writer for Boeing Frontiers, the monthly employee magazine of the world's largest aerospace company.
Her Frontiers reporting, largely about international business topics, took her to cities including Paris, London, Reykjavik, Dubai, and Riyadh, whetting her appetite for global travel. "I haven't looked back since," she says.
Maureen's First Foreign Base: Florence
In her first move abroad, Maureen spent nearly a year living and working as a freelance writer and communications consultant in Italy. Based in Florence, she wrote about food, travel, lifestyles, and pop culture for publications including the Chicago Sun-Times, Crain's Chicago Business, Black Enterprise, and Working Mother.
Maureen's Favorite Address: Near Paris
For all of 2012, Maureen hung her chapeau in the tiny village of Samois-sur-Seine, known as the home of Gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt.
Maureen is back in her native Windy City, but keeps her carryon bag half-packed and admits to being "madly in love with my passport, a well-worn treasure." This pocket-sized, navy blue-clad booklet has accompanied Maureen "from Montreal to Monaco, Barcelona to Buenos Aires, Rome to Riyadh, and many, many points in-between," she says. "My passport declares that my nationality is American, but I feel like a citizen of the world."
A lover of foreign languages, Maureen has studied Italian in Chicago, Rome, and Florence; French at Chicago's Alliance Française, in Seattle, and in France; and Spanish in Chicago and Seattle. Although she's an ocean away, Maureen is still a member of the Chicago Sister Cities (Paris and Milan) Committees.
Maureen's motto: "You're never more than one flight or train ride away from an amazing adventure. It's all about experiencing the world."

Entertainment behind the scenes
"Paranormal Activity" scares up most movie frights at Halloween
Vampires may be one of the most popular current themes in entertainment, but movies that feature exorcisms and Satan give audiences the biggest scare.
With Halloween fast approaching, a poll on website Movies.com found that vampires give moviegoers less of a fright than creepy kids or Zombies.
(Has the romance factor of the "Twilight" saga, along with all those popular vegetarian vampires, meant that good old blood-suckers are losing some street cred?)
In the Movies.com poll, some 44 percent of the 5,000 responders get the best scares out of films that focus on exorcism and Satan or ghosts and haunting. Vampires were rated scary by just 3.6 percent of those taking part.
So it's no surprise then that independent movie "Paranormal Activity" — which combined ghosts, demons and hauntings and was widely released in 2009 — was voted scariest movie of the past decade, receiving 21 percent of votes, followed by "The Ring" from 2002.
Veteran actors Jamie Lee Curtis and Anthony Hopkins (aka Hannibal Lecter) have lost none of their scary charms. Curtis was overwhelmingly voted best scream queen for her appearances in the "Halloween" franchise 30 years ago, and Hannibal Lecter came a close second to Freddy Krueger as the horror movie icon people would least like to meet.
When it comes to just plain laughable, "Jason X" from 2002 topped all others as the silliest idea for a horror movie for sending machete-wielding Jason Voorhees of "Friday the Thirteenth" into outer space.
The Movies.com poll was conducted between Sept.30-Oct 6.

On the third day of Christmas Preparations, my true love gave to me:
Three snow days,
Two calling workers
and a well planned respite weekend.
Remember when you were a kid and just loved snow days? I remember my mother dreading them, and now as a busy parent, I completely understand. The key is to keep the kids busy on snow days. This gives us some time to check our own naughty and nice lists and get ready for Christmas. Here are a few snow day ideas:
Let the kids watch Frosty the Snowman and then send them outside to create a bit of Christmas magic of their own. It's amazing how many children today don't know Frosty or even Rudolph. Be sure that they are well supervised, so enlist a neighborhood teen (one old enough to babysit according to your foster home's regulations). Then spend time wrapping gifts.
Bake cookies together and prepare some plates to deliver on Christmas Eve. Let the kids eat a few too.
Decorate the Christmas Tree or set out other holiday decorations. This gives you the opportunity to discuss the holidays with foster children as many do not understand what Christmas is all about.

Educational Background
- Bachelor of Arts, Bethel College Kansas, 1967
- Master of Arts, Emory University, 1968
- Doctor of Philosophy, University of Kansas, 1974
I'm a historian of the United States from the 1890s to the present. My particular interest is in political and social history; I also teach about U.S. foreign policy, particularly the Cold War. In fall 2010 I'm teaching History 253 "U.S. Since 1960" and a new colloquium, History 457, "The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Experience in Twentieth Century America." In spring 2011 I'll team-teach History 104 "U.S. Since 1877" with Renee Romano and a colloquium on movie censorship in the United States.
The censorship colloquium draws on the book I'm writing about American movie censorship from the 1890s through the 1960s. In this book I challenge some assumptions about how censorship worked and introduce a comparative perspective from other arts and with the British experience. My book project grew from my longstanding interest in the boundaries of freedom and how they are determined. I addressed one phase of this in Hollywood Goes to War: How Politics, Profits, and Propaganda Shaped World War II Movies (coauthored with Gregory D. Black), which was published in 1987 and remains in print.
My teaching and scholarly interests have included environmental history and the history of technology. Soon after I began teaching at Oberlin in 1978, I introduced the first environmental history course at the college and was a founding member of the Environmental Studies Program. (I served as president of the American Society for Environmental History in 1985-86.) I came to Oberlin from the California Institute of Technology, where I served as a senior research fellow in history, and wrote JPL: A History of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (Yale University Press, 1982), which won the Dexter Prize from the Society for the History of Technology.
From 1996 to 2005 I served in various administrative positions at Oberlin, including Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Provost, and in 2000, Acting President. As chief academic officer I was able to add fourteen faculty positions, promote diversity in faculty hiring, helped launch new programs in Comparative American Studies and Cinema Studies, establish the first offerings in Middle Eastern and North African Studies, and initiate planning for the Academic Commons in Mudd Library. In 2000 I orchestrated the college's role in helping save the Allen Memorial Hospital from imminent closure. My national service included membership on the Academic Advisory Board of the National Institute for Technology in the Liberal Arts (a Mellon Foundation initiative), the Executive Committee of the American Council for Academic Deans, and the Executive Committee of the Consortium for a Strong Minority Presence in Liberal Arts Colleges.
In 2007 my partner, William Norris, a now retired sociology professor, and I were deeply honored to stand among the first recipients of the Oberlin Lambda Alumni's Q Awards for service to the Oberlin College gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community.

The Duncan Banner
One balmy evening in the Pleistocene era, Uncle Ugh and Cousin Ogg were leaving a meeting of the Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes, when they had a conversation that resonates through human history:
Ugh: Yo, dude, what's that light up in the sky?
Ogg: C'mon, Uncle, we settled this last week — that's the Moon. What's the matter? Didja drink too much red berry juice at the meeting?
Ugh: Up your nose with a rubber hose, smarty pants! I know that's the Moon. I'm talkin' about that light to the left of it, the one that's kinda reddish. Waddaya think that is?
Ogg: Well, the guys at Dave's cave said that's a new discovery. They called it a "play-net."
Ugh: So that's a play-net, huh? Pretty cool. Does it have a name?
Ogg: Not yet, but I heard a local radio station started a "Name the Play-net" contest. Wanna enter?
Ugh: Yeah! Let's do it. It's too early to go home, so let's sit down and come up with a name. While we're at it, I did have a little too much of the red berry juice and I'm hungry as a sabertooth. Would you pass me one of those Mars bars?
So it came to pass that Mars got its name. And for millennia, the Red Play-net has intrigued and fascinated humankind. Mars has lured us and we have answered.
In 1976, the Viking space probe sent back the first close-up pictures of Mars' surface, but a lot of those looked like fuzzy shots from a family reunion. In 1997, the images coming back from Pathfinder were sharper and more detailed.
In 2004, we had Spirit crawling around up there. Spirit looked like it was built out of Legos, but the lil' rover beamed back incredible snapshots of Mars' terrain.
And now, Curiosity is on the Red Play-net sending remarkable photos and data that may lead to future exploration on Mars and beyond.
Critics and skeptics think Curiosity is a waste of money. But I say: Scoff not, ye of little imagination. As Curiosity continues its journey, we may discover answers to thousands of years of human mysteries and strange disappearances.
In fact, I figure there's a good chance Curiosity could satisfy humanity's thirst to know what happened to Atlantis, Eldorado and Shangri-La. It's possible those mythic communities were actually built by exploratory Martians named Yeti, Sasquatch and The Bogeyman.
Iraq's weapons of mass destruction we couldn't find? Well, maybe, those puppies are on Mars, and Don Rumsfeld will dance around screaming, "See? I told you there were WMDs! I told you so! I told you so!"
On Aug. 6, 1940, Judge Joseph F. Crater walked out of his house to attend a play and was never seen again. Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan got lost trying to fly around the world in 1937. Could they all be on the Red Play-net?
Elvis is living in a trailer park somewhere in Minnesota? Ahem, hardly. Mr. Presley now runs Hunka Hunka Condos, the biggest real estate development on Mars
Jim Morrison? Writing poems about lizards in a bungalow in a Martian crater.
What was the final destination of Wilfred Brimley and the other geezers in Cocoon? We're about to find out.
Those millions of dollars locked in Al Capone's vault? Ha! They're stashed in an unnumbered Martian bank account.
Jimmy Hoffa's remains were mixed into the concrete used to build Giants Stadium in Jersey? Yeah, sure.
In 1971, D.B. Cooper hopped out of a Boeing 727 at 10,000 feet, with $200,000 ransom money in his pocket? That's what the U.S. government wants us to believe.
Brothers and sisters, we are on the threshold of knowing the unknowable, of finding the unfindable. Thanks to the Curiosity mission, we'll finally know the whereabouts of:
- A liberal Republican. The last one on this planet was John Anderson, who had to run as an Independent in the 1980 presidential race.
- A half-million of Kim Kardashian's unused brain cells.
- A snow sled named "Rosebud."
- The original lyrics of Louie, Louie.
- Another of those haunting black obelisks. The first one appeared on Earth in 2001: A Space Odyssey, then another was on the Moon in 2010 When Curiosity stumbles onto an obelisk on Mars, we'll realize they are start-up kits for Wal-Mart stores, and there are other such obelisks on every planet in the universe.
- A kazillion unmatched socks, validating my suspicion clothes dryers are actually portholes for intergalactic travel.
And you thought funding space travel was a waste of money.

This prestigious awards program is co-sponsored by the National Association of Division III Athletic Administrators and by Jostens, and is intended to recognize the many contributions that Division III student-athletes make to their communities. The purpose is to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate.
Steve Larson, past president of NADIIIAA (left) and Holly Gera, current president of that organization, present the Jostens/NADIIIAA Community Service Award to Springfield College at the recent NCAA Convention. Springfield College Director of Athletics Cathie Schweitzer and President Richard B. Flynn accept.
A total of 10 colleges and universities received Awards of Merit from Jostens/NADIIIAA in three separate categories. Another eight schools received honorable mention status in the same three categories. Springfield College was one of three schools nationally to receive the most sought-after of the awards. Besides the Array of Projects/Activities category, other award categories include the One-Time Project/Activity and the On-Going Project/Activity.
As an overall category winner, Springfield College received a commemorative trophy and a check for $1000 directed to the institution's general scholarship fund.
Springfield College President Richard Flynn assists students, including several members of the men's basketball team, with some gardening work during the most recent Humanics in Action Day (Sept. 20, 2007).
In 2006-07, Springfield College participated in over 40 different projects. On September 21, 2006, over 700 student-athletes from 26 varsity teams were involved in the College's annual Humanics in Action Day. Projects during that day included: cleaning up local elementary and middle schools, raking and mowing lawns, general clean-up, painting decks, and reading to fourth graders. All geared to improve the local community, those projects lasted approximately four hours.
Some of the other student-athlete-driven projects throughout the year included tutoring local high school students; setting up benefits for the United Way, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the Open Pantry Homeless Shelter and Teen Living Program in Springfield and the Adopt-A-Family Program; and visiting Shriners Hospital in Springfield.
"We are very honored and appreciative of receiving such an outstanding award," said Dr. Cathie A. Schweitzer, Springfield College's Director of Athletics. "It will be very humbling to receive it on behalf of our students. The mission of Springfield College is to 'educate students in spirit, mind, and body for leadership in service to humanity by building upon a foundation of humanics and academic excellence.' Community service is a large part of this mission. It helps to prepare our students for a life of helping others."
Springfield College has received Awards of Merit from this program in the past. It earned an Award of Merit in the Ongoing Project/Activity category in 2003-04, and an Award of Merit in the One-Time Project/Activity category in 2004-05.
"I have been most proud of how often and to what extent our student-athletes participate in community service on a regular basis," said Schweitzer. "Our intercollegiate teams remain integral parts of service to our local communities. As for this award, it will send a loud message for generations of Springfield College student-athletes to come about how there is personal satisfaction and educational value inherent in community service."
The NADIIIAA is an association comprised of athletics administrators from the 437 institutions and 40 conferences competing at the NCAA Division III level. Minneapolis-based Jostens is a leading provider of products, programs, and services that help people celebrate important moments, recognize achievements, and build affiliations.

PITTSBURG, Kan. —
A city-sponsored housing project several years in the making now has a name, its first contractor and a time frame for completion of the first home.
"We hope to break ground in two weeks and have our first home finished in three to four months," said Bill Warlop, president of Home Center Construction, which is in the final phase of completing an agreement with the city of Pittsburg on the project.
To be called Lincoln Square, the completed project will consist of 10 homes on a city-owned block at 18th and Locust streets. It is the site of the former Lincoln Elementary School, which after being closed by the Pittsburg School District was transformed into the city's largest day care, the Family Resource Center. After the center vacated the building in 2010, it was razed.
The City Commission discussed selling the block to a developer or using the block for a community storm shelter. It ultimately approved a request last fall by the city's housing specialist, Deena Hallacy, to embark on a housing project for moderate-income residents.
Recognizing that such homes are needed in communities throughout the state, the Kansas Housing Resources Corp. was offering $2.3 million in funding. Last fall, Pittsburg was selected as one of eight cities to be awarded funding. Its $280,000 share is being used for Lincoln Square.
"It will cover relocation of the existing sewer line, putting in an alley, putting sewer and water lines to each home, and will help homeowners with closing costs to make the homes more affordable," Hallacy said.
The low bid for the sewer relocation was approved Tuesday night by the City Commission, which awarded the contract to Jim Radell Construction for $48,000.
Warlop is one of six contractors who expressed an interest in building at the site. He plans a 1,200-square-foot cottage-style home with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a purchase price of $120,000 to $125,000.
It will include a rear-access garage and a storm safe room. It is required to meet energy efficiency guidelines and will have a disabled-accessible entrance.
"This really helps local contractors and builders, helps us keep guys working because it's slow," Warlop said.
"It certainly addresses the housing need," said Commissioner Patrick O'Bryan. "This is a blueprint for how we should be addressing other areas, perhaps that are blighted."
He suggested that the city use the project as a model for the future, perhaps purchasing a half-block or a block of homes that should be demolished, and then rebuilding them.
Income guidelines
The homes are for those who have an annual income between 60 and 150 percent of the Department of Housing and Urban Development's state median income guidelines. For a two-person family, that would mean an annual income between $22,195 and $55,488. For a four-person family, it would mean an income of $32,640 to $81,600.

Why I Didn't Short KiOR
In a recent column on the metric of "success" in Cleantech, I wrote that the measure of success that will matter to most people is whether the company sells energy at an affordable price: I simply don't think that the fact that one can talk up a company and then IPO it at a profit is the proper metric for success. Some of those companies that have been IPO'd are grossly overvalued. Many of them won't be around for long. (In fact, I wrestled hard this week with a decision to short one of them; I ultimately decided not to — but not because I don't think the company is grossly overvalued). So is a company that is IPO'd, makes… Continue»

Q&A With Virent CTO Randy Cortright
In the previous essay, I discussed the National Advanced Biofuels Consortium (NABC) and the recently announced success of Virent Energy Systems (Virent), a member of the consortium. In this essay I try to dig into the process details a bit more with a series of technical exchanges with Virent Founder and CTO Randy Cortright. My questions are denoted as RR and his responses are in blue as RC. I began by asking Dr. Cortright to confirm my understanding of Virent's process. RR: Let me make sure I am clear on the process. You take cellulosic biomass and hydrolyze that to sugars. You hydrogenate those sugars and put them through your aqueous reformer. The reformer output consists of ketones, acids, aldehydes,… Continue»
Virent Pulling Ahead of the Pack?
The National Advanced Biofuels Consortium In January 2010, Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced the investment of nearly $80 million under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for advanced biofuels research and fueling infrastructure. About $35 million of the funding went toward the National Advanced Biofuels Consortium (NABC). The consortium consists of 17 partners from industry, national laboratories, and universities with the goal of producing economical biofuels that are compatible with existing infrastructure (drop-in fuels). The consortium is investigating "six process strategies with the greatest potential to meet the project objectives. Each process involves converting biomass feedstock, such as corn stover or wood chips, into a form that can be used in a petroleum refinery. These new and innovative approaches can… Continue»

It could grow in marginal soil, didn't need much water, and could provide fuel that didn't compete with food. Farmers in developing countries were encouraged to forgo cash crops like cotton to grow jatropha, which wouldn't be ready for harvest for at least three years after planting. Then reality began to set in. People learned that while jatropha is drought tolerant, it needs ample rainfall to flourish. There were many firsthand reports from farmers that growing and harvesting jatropha was very labor intensive, and the oil yields were much lower than advertised. India… Continue»
Due Diligence: How to Evaluate a Renewable Energy Technology
Doing Due Diligence To people who follow the energy industry closely, it's a common occurrence to come across announcements from companies proclaiming to have developed the key to the 'next big thing' — for solving the world's energy crisis. Maybe they say they can take any sort of waste biomass and turn it into fuel — ethanol, diesel, pyrolysis oil, mixed alcohols — at very low cost. Or they say they can produce renewable electricity at a price competitive with coal. The layperson reads the news release and is curious: "Is this real?" When I am asked to comment on a press release, I try to be cautious with my opinions until I have peeled the onion a bit. There… Continue»
The Media's Role in the Range Fuels Fiasco
Now that it seems that the mainstream media has finally caught on to the fact that something went terribly awry at Range Fuels, it is time for me to close the book on them. This will be my last Range Fuels story, but I think there is a lesson to be learned here. Waiting Until The Fat Lady Sang In the past week, an increasing numbers of stories have covered the Range Fuels affair. The Wall Street Journal's take was the most high profile coverage: The Range Fuels Fiasco Vinod Khosla stepped in with his hand out. The political venture capitalist founded Range Fuels and in March 2007 it received a $76 million grant from the Department of Energy—one of… Continue»
Butanol Q&A With Cobalt Technologies CEO Rick Wilson
In the previous story — Butanol 101 — I provided readers some background on the production of butanol, including my own background on working with butanol. This story is about one company's efforts to commercialize bio-butanol. The interview originated from a press release I was sent a couple of months ago detailing an agreement between Cobalt Technologies (formerly Cobalt Biofuels; and I will get into this name change below) and the U.S. Navy on developing next generation biofuels: Cobalt Technologies and U.S. Navy to Jointly Develop Military Jet Fuel Mountain View, CA – November 03, 2010 – Today, Cobalt Technologies, the leader in commercializing biobutanol as a renewable chemical and fuel, announced the signature of a Cooperative Research and Development… Continue»

More than two dozen counselors are at Lanier High School offering support to students a day after one of their classmates died by suicide.
Wednesday morning students held a memorial service and a moment of silence in the courtyard. A small bouquet of flowers was placed by a tree outside the school.
"It's difficult for anyone to digest but our students are strong," said Melissa Chan, a school improvement facilitator at Lanier. She says teachers were notified that during the first 15 minutes of each class period staff would be available to take students to counselors.
"Anytime something like this happens it's tragic," said Merily Keller. She's a suicide prevention consultant and works with Mental Health America of Texas and with Texas Suicide Prevention. Keller leads training sessions for youth suicide prevention.
"It's important to take any talk of suicide seriously," Keller said.
Following a suicide people can feel a sense of guilt. Keller says no one thing causes suicide, instead it's multi-factorial.
Keller encourages parents to talk to their children about what happened. "Listen in person and online and see what they are posting. There can be a downward spiral of grief and trauma unless adults are involved," Keller said.
There are some warning signs to look out for. "Some include depression, isolation, sleeping too much or not enough," said Keller.
Resources are available over the phone and online 24 hours a day. Keller says there is hope.
"Help is available and help works."
Friends say the teen posted on Facebook shortly before he died writing about wanting to take his life. The National Suicide Prevention Hotline recently partnered with Facebook on how to report suicidal users.

Two decades ago, Margarita Cortez and her family got help from Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry and Kitchen after their home was lost in the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake.
Then, the food pantry was in its infancy—a parish mission of St. Patrick's Catholic Church. Now the organization is one of the largest groups helping the hungry in the Pajaro Valley and Cortez has come full circle to become executive director of Loaves and Fishes.
Cortez, a UC Santa Barbara graduate, was named to the post in January, as the food pantry saw demand for its bags of free groceries and complimentary hot lunches skyrocket.
In 2010, provided 8,655 families with pantry services and served 23,840 hot meals. In January, the demand for hot meals jumped from about 2,000 a month to more than 3,000, according to Bob Montague, 10-year volunteer with the organization and the food pantry's treasurer.
The demand for food has increased at Loaves and Fishes every year since 2007, according to the food pantry.
But the reason for the dramatic upsurge in need in January is unclear. The bad economy and Watsonville's traditionally high unemployment rate in the winter are obvious contributors, but those circumstances aren't exclusive to this year.
"We flow with the strawberries," Montague said, referring to the increased use of the food pantry during the off-season for agriculture in the Pajaro Valley. In the summertime, only about 60 hot lunches are served daily.
While there are several food pantries in Watsonville—all a part of the Pajaro Valley Pantry Network and run from area churches and other nonprofit organizations—Loaves and Fishes traditionally helps more people, because it's the only pantry open five days a week. The converted home at 150 Second St. handles nearly half of the referrals from Second Harvest Food Bank and churches without well-stocked pantries.
"We're kind of the first responders for people who need food," Montague said. "As a result, our clientele has been increasing."
Cortez, whose family got support from the food pantry when she was a child, described Loaves and Fishes as a "safety net" for the hungry.
People living within the food pantry's boundaries—essentially the southwest area of town—can get bags of groceries twice a month. Others can get one bag and are directed to a food pantry closer to their homes.
"Each bag is packed to suit," Montague said.
The average bag is designed for a family of four and is planned to provide adequate calories, protein and nutrition. The bag is full of fresh produce, bakery products, rice, beans and meat, and has enough food for more than 21 individual meals.
Families line up to get their groceries daily—41 percent of the people served are children—along with single, homeless men and other needy people in the community. Montague said they're seeing more out-of-work construction workers, landscapers and gardeners in recent months.
People are taken on their word when they come for groceries and no one is turned away.
As people file in and out of the food pantry with bags of groceries, the sounds and smells of lunch cooking fill the air.
Loaves and Fishes cook Maria Gonzalez concocts a menu daily to provide hot lunch to dozens of hungry people. She gets creative, Cortez said, explaining that one day's lunch might be baked chicken, followed by a chicken salad sandwich the next day.
"It's easy because I have a lot of experience," said Gonzalez as she stirred a large stainless steel pot bean soup on a recent morning. She cooked in a taco truck for years and said she keeps a lot of menu ideas in her head.
The bean soup was accompanied by sandwiches and macaroni, giving those lunching several options. People come from throughout Watsonville and across the river levee in Pajaro to dine on Gonzalez's fare.
"I decide how I can fix it [and] what's good for them," Gonzalez said.
Cortez added, "Our cook goes to great lengths to make sure it's healthy."
The food served and shared at Loaves and Fishes comes from several sources: three local organic farms donate extras, as does a nearby bakery. Second Harvest Food Bank provides some donated food to Loaves and Fishes. But the food pantry buys about three-quarters of the food it hands out.
"We have to operate like a business," Montague said.
Loaves and Fishes has just three employees; everyone else is a volunteer. Some fill community service requirements for school or court; others are retired or unemployed and looking for a way to fill their days.
Cortez is working to increase donations to Loaves and Fishes through school food drives and partnerships with area grocers, bakers and farmers.
And at the end of the day, there is even a use for the food waste. Volunteer Cecile Mills takes the scraps to feed her chickens or to compost, efforts that inspired one farm to bring its surplus produce right to Loaves and Fishes.
Mills said she is impressed by the efficiency of the food pantry's operation.
"It's amazing how the food comes in and goes out," she said.
Lunch is served at noon Monday to Friday. For more information about Pajaro Valley Loaves and Fishes, contact Margarita Cortez at 831-722-4144 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

"Girls can't be priests?"
My 10-year-old world was shattered. I guess I'd have to be a nun.
Here's my story.
A convert
I haven't always been Catholic. My dad would take my sister and me to church occasionally. I was excited for the donuts in the KC Hall after Mass!
It got to the point where I told my father I wanted to go to church every Sunday – probably still for the donuts. After completing "little kid RCIA," as I call it, I was baptized at age 7.
The following year my younger sister decided to get baptized as well. A year later my father was granted an annulment from his previous marriage, and my parents were married in the church when I was in fourth grade.
I remember thinking how beautiful it was to see my mom receive her first Holy Communion on their new wedding day. You see, my mom was raised Methodist and joined RCIA about the same time all these baptisms and annulment applications were happening.
Now the whole family was Catholic!
A groupie
Blessed with a really kick-butt home parish, I got involved in everything possible. I started altar serving, helped my mom on the flower guild, and even founded the middle school youth group. I probably went a bit overboard when I would agree to altar serve two, three Masses a day. I just couldn't get enough of being at church!
In high school I was at every event. Never missed a retreat, mission trip, social, lock-in.
I may have been one of those youth groupies. You know the type: always lurking in the youth room, dropping by the church offices just to say "hi."
It got to the point where I was even attending two different youth groups each Sunday! But the relationships I made during those formative years forever changed me. My church family has been the biggest influence in making me who I am today.
An adorer
I first experienced adoration of the Blessed Sacrament as a freshman in high school.
We were in Laredo, Texas, staying with the community of St. John for a mission trip. Their chapel is simple and dark but so beautiful…probably because Jesus was there.
I can remember not wanting to leave adoration. I just stayed and prayed while the rest of the youth group had gone back to the retreat center.
The quiet solitude found in the loving gaze of Our Savior was incredible. Why would you not want to be kneeling in front of Jesus?
An apprentice
My junior year of high school I met my first real-life nun: Sr. Clare Hunter, FSE.
Boy was she something!
The fact that she was fun, outgoing, enthusiastic, not ancient made me think that being a nun was seriously something to consider. You can be happy serving Him who made us and look good while doing it! (I've always thought nuns look like total rock stars with their veils.)
Sr. Clare invited me to consider attending the University of St. Thomas. She even promised me a job in her office!
A nun suggests a college and tells you you'll get to work by her side? I'd be crazy not to accept! All the other colleges seemed to be insignificant compared to this choice, and I am now a proud double graduate of UST.
An online dater
In college, one really has the opportunity to be yourself and own your choices. You also get to make choices that can later be justified with "But I was in college!"
I dated, sought love, even joined CatholicMatch.com a few times!
You have this amazing opportunity to form your life on your own terms. I was going to find an awesome guy, get married and have some babies!
But was I listening to what God wanted me to do? Had I forgotten that 10-year-old me wanted to be a nun?
All these tangled emotions kicked my prayer life into overdrive. Journaling, spiritual reading, finding an awesome spiritual director.
An aspirant
But The Call came in November 2010 at my friend Brother James Claver's first vows. He was one of those crucial relationships from high school, a BFF, you might say.
He was kneeling on the altar, facing the crucifix, giving himself to Jesus.
I cried.
In my heart I felt an overpowering desire to do the same.
In my heart I heard: "Give yourself to me."
"That's a pretty clear message, Jesus. How would you like me to do that?"
Then, in January of 2011, enter the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist – in my hometown, no less!
How gorgeous and rock star-ish, they looked in the front pew at the Diocesan Mass for Life!
My friend informed me that they were a relatively new order who had been invited to town by one of my favorite bishops, Archbishop Gregory Aymond, who is now serving in New Orleans.
I spoke with Sr. Elizabeth Ann, OP, and told her, "I think I need to be a nun."
Her reply?
She put her arm around me and the deal was sealed. Happy, joyful, habit-wearing sisters who are young, personable, and friendly?
A week later I started the application process and was accepted into the community in April 2011. Praise Him!
God's timing is so perfect, and my inner 10-year-old is thrilled beyond belief!
10 Comments
I am glad you heard His call. We are in need of religious vocations. God bless.
Congratulations on becoming a nun, what a beautiful vocation!
Your story is so inspiring…got me teary eyed there. I am currently in process of discerning…I am slowly discovering God's plan for me. Right now, I am enjoying being with people. Fingers crossed, I don't know..we'll see..=)
What an inspiring story, thank you for tell it to us.
Dear Meris,
I would like to congratulate and praise you, for answering God's call to become a Reigious Sister.
God bless you with good health, happiness, peace, and prosperity.
We have a young lady called Sarah Nesbit from our dioceses who recently joined that community as well. She professed her first vows to community last August 4th and took as her religious name Mary Ignatius. Perhaps, you will get to meet her. Blessings to the both of you.
I just can't express adequately how much you've clearly conveyed the joy in your heart… your joy has reached me through your beautiful story. Blessings to you.
god bless you , by reading your story, i tears rolled from my eyes, once again jesus be with you,
Beautiful testimony!

How To find the Image path of a website background image by Google Chrome
Most of the people know this trick of finding the URL to an image of a website. But some people still struggling with this. So I decided to write a quick post (but informative post on how to find the URL to a image of a website).
Through this post I am talking about a background image of a website, not about a image inside a post. Because you can find the URL to a image inside a post easily by just right clicking and selecting "Copy Link address". But you can't do it for background images. For today tutorial we selected a YouTube channel to find the image path for the background image. So first visit the YouTube channel I selected first. Here is the link; ICC World Twenty 20 Sri Lanka 2012
Now what we are going to extract the background image of the above YouTube channel. See the following image I added, then you will understand it.
Let see how to do this. First open your Google Chrome web browser. Then visit the above given YouTube channel. Then right click on the YouTube background image. Then click on "Inspect Elements" from the drop down menu as shown below.
Now you will get a separate window at the lower part of the screen. On that small window you will see there are different tabs with the name of "Elements", "resources", "Network" etc. Click on the "Resources" tab as I shown below.
Now You will see different folders on the left hand side of the screen. Among those folders you will see a folder called "Frames" (Usually in the upper part of the window). Open it by clicking on the small arrow next to the folder. You will see a folder inside it. Open it too as you opened the Frames folder. Once it opened you will see the text called "images". Open it by clicking on the small arrow next to it. Now you see all the images of the page. Check the screenshot below.
Now click on each image and you will see the preview of the image on the right side of the window. Below the image preview you will see the image path to that particular image as I shown below.
Now Click in the image link, it will open on a new window. This trick can be applied to all the websites which allows you to right click on it. Mozilla Firefox can also be used to extract the images of a website. I'll bring it to you in future posts. So go now, try it and let me know your experience.

STANWOOD, Wash. -- Singing in support of a community still in recovery mode, musicians and entertainers are donating their time to raise money for victims of the Oso landslide.
Saturday marks eight weeks since the tragedy. Organizers were so touched by the stories of the survivors, they put together a benefit in Stanwood, which includes a silent auction, a bake sale and plenty of fun for the kids.
"We really wanted to help Oso and we thought doing something later out would really benefit the people still and show them we haven't gotten on with our lives and forgotten about them," said Carla Helin, organizer.
The Hope for Oso Benefit runs through 10 p.m. Saturday at the Stanwood-Camano Community Fairgrounds.

When the new year comes around, one local park will not reopen.
That is because the Town of New Castle's proposed 2013 budget calls for closing the skate park in downtown Chappaqua, which is jointly paid for by the Village of Pleasantville and is near its border. The cut is being made by eliminating all funding for the park. For 2012, New Castle appropriated $4,960 for the park. Among the reasons for not continuing the funding would be to avoid paying for an attendant.
The decision to close the skate park, explained New Castle Recreation and Parks Superintendent Robert Snyder, is because of a drop in demand. At an October 2 work session with the New Castle Town Board, he said that enrollment "has progressively gone down since we opened the park."
The same has been true for Pleasantville, Village Administrator Patricia Dwyer told Patch, noting that it hasn't really been utilized by village residents who have to travel to New Castle to use the park.
"We had discussions with [New Castle] early on," Dwyer said about the situation. "It doesn't make much sense [to keep funding it]."
While Pleasantville Mayor Peter Scherer said he did not yet know about the plan, "I'm not surprised to hear that," he told Patch.
At the work session, Snyder was asked about the fate of the equipment.
"What kind of shape is the equipment in?" asked New Castle Supervisor Susan Carpenter.
"It's in good shape," he replied, noting that it's made of steel.
The intent is to keep the equipment where it is currently, but to secure it; Snyder mentioned chains and a PVC pipe as ways to do it. The board did not rule it reopening it in a future year if demand increases again.
New Castle Councilman John Buckley noted the decline in popularity of the park over they years, saying it had "a great following with a lot of kids," but added that it "all really dissipated."
Snyder was asked whether kids were skating around town, like they were prior to the park's opening a few years back. He replied that the interest has dropped.
"I don't see it like it used to," he said. Snyder also noted that, based on having talked with counterparts in other communities, the downward trend is not unique.
Similarly, Scherer stated, "It's a very modest cost to us overall, but all of us are under heavy pressure at the moment because of the need to reduce costs and so, in our specific case, the numbers of kids that are getting served hasn't been impressive enough to necessarily warrant the cost."
People who do use the park were disappointed to learn of its impending closure.
Anthony Berman, Chappaqua, said it "seems to be a really good place," for people getting into skateboarding.
Jackson Rourke, also of Chappaqua, said it was "too bad" that the park is closing, and noted that some high school students, who pushed for creating it, "worked pretty hard for it."
"It would be a shame," said Letty Batjiaka, a Chappaqua mother who takes her son to it once a week.

602 S. Gay Street
2nd Floor
Knoxville, TN 37902
Just a quick reply to Jack Neely's piece on free parking downtown. ["The Parking Paradox," Secret History, May 27, 2010] First and foremost, Mr. Neely is absolutely correct about the social and infrastructural costs of too much parking. We have a city and we have a suburb and it is probably best to keep the two distinct because they each have their own benefits. (Or so I am told. I myself have trouble finding the benefits of the suburbs.)
There was, however, one major mistake in the column; there is free parking downtown. The free parking under the interstate that Mr. Neely mentioned is open, and has been for some time. Head north on Central into the Old City and take a right on Locust. There is a ton of street parking and hundreds of spots in a city lot. It isn't fenced off and there are always spots available. Or, go to the lot on Jackson just west of South Gay. There's plenty available there, too. As for the inexpensive $2-$3 daily parking, well, that exists also. For instance, the private lot at the corner of Central and Summit Hill. This lot is $3 a day and always has empty spots.
Downtown leaves some things to be desired, no doubt about that, but the constant talk of too little parking just doesn't make sense to me. I work downtown and park here every day, for free, without stress. Let's focus on something else. Rumor has it that there isn't a grocery or hardware store downtown. That might be nice.

The Meadowses, who also have a daughter, say they understand the seriousness of sexual harassment. They admit their son acts out, especially if he feels anxious or wants to be accepted. He is new to the school and has an individualized education plan for behavioral and emotional problems.
Meadows, who monitors his TV and computer time, isn't sure where D'Avonte learned the LMFAO party song. But it is nearly impossible to escape these days. The song has been featured during halftime at the Super Bowl, on TV shows and in a commercial with dancing M&Ms. Even Sesame Street gave it a toddler treatment with "I'm Elmo and I Know It." But apparently what animated candy can do, at least one first-grader cannot.
