Bassrush resident & rock star emcee most notorious for
his poetic genius with a microphone has seen him command crowds at Electric Daisy
Carnival, Nocturnal
and countless other festivals across the US. In school Dino spent more time writing
lyrics, songs, and practicing with bands in backyards than on his schoolwork.
He began going to undergrounds at a very young age, a time when dance music was
new and entirely underground. This exposure had great influence on him; electronic
music provided a new medium and mode of tampering with instrumental sound. In
this scene he also discovered jungle music and emceeing. Those unfamiliar with
jungle might liken it to an advanced electronic evolution of reggae and emerging
techno, using the same threads and bass but quickened to 180 bpm (beats per minute).
In 1997 he set out as an emcee, needing outlet for the poetry streaming through
his head and inspired by the aggressive new sound jungle provided. By this time
he had already taught himself to dj and moved between rhyming and spinning, while
continuing to write his own music. 1998 proved a year of reckoning and direction.
He started performing regularly at the Snake Pit on a night then called Plastic
Thursdays that offered techno one half of the night and jungle the other. During
this period Dino gathered his musically-inclined cohorts and formed a solid group
called Urban Aboriginee. The idea behind Urban Aboriginee was to promote the
various but sometimes neglected talents (emceeing, spinning records, etc) of
his intimate circle. The name alludes to modern day tribesmen surviving the streets
of a concrete jungle (the city). Urban Aboriginee is recognized throughout Denver
for its dedication to Jungle music. For five years running, UA has sponsored
Kombat Battle, a party that allows young deejays and MCs to showcase their talent
and provides an opportunity for up-and-comers to perform live in an actual party
atmosphere. Besides the obvious electronic movement that so dramatically shaped
his personal musical efforts, Dinos other prominent influences include Prince,
Roni Size and Santana. Exposure to these along with an upbringing encouraging
all music is especially evident in his individual work, emceeing, and collaborations
with Urban Aboriginee. Given such opportunity to hone his skills, MC Dino has
emceed for the greatest names in Drum and Bass, including Andy C, Shimon, Rinse,
Flux, Diesel Boy, AK1200, Dara, Bad Company, Danny the Wild Child, Teach Itch,
and Craze, to name a few. And, of course, he performs weekly and occasionally
nationally with his local cohorts, DJ Fury, Ecco and Sabotage. Dino has been
featured on tracks produced by DJ Icee, and has co-created other works with WishFM,
among others. His own music as well as recordings of sets performed with DJ Fury
can be found at all Denver-area stores. Recognized for his high-energy lyrical
prowess on the microphone, MC Dino is a crowd favorite on the mic and is an asset
to any DJ he rhymes alongside.

Scripps Networks Interactive trading over 52-week high
Scripps Networks Interactive shareholders are having a very good day. The Knoxville-based company's stock price is trading at its highest price in more than a year.
In late-morning trading, the stock was up more than $1 to $56.31. So far today, the stock has traded as high as $56.39.
The lifestyle media company's stock has moved steadily higher since dipping below $40 last fall.
It will be interesting to see where the stock price goes in the next few months.
At the company's recent annual meeting Ken Lowe, chairman, CEO and president, said 2012 will be the media company's "greatest year ever" as it continues to expand its branded product lines and international footprint.

Narrow your search
The electronics titans square off in a tangled tale of mobile technology, centered on Apple's iPhone
Looking for phones? CNET's reviews of the best phones include photos, video, and user reviews.
If history repeats itself, Samsung's fourth-generation supersize phone will reveal itself in Berlin the first week of September.
Pricing not available
The improved S Pen goes a long way to making this high-end tablet worth the extra cost, but if you're not sold on the stylus, it's easy to find a better deal.
Not quite a workstation replacement, the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro is an expensive behemoth of a tablet with a vast amount of features that will benefit only the most serious of tablet users.
Though its plastic skin doesn't do its high price justice, Samsung's Galaxy Note 3 makes the most compelling case yet for a supersize phone.
A better tablet now than it was last year, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 from Verizon Wireless is unfortunately still too expensive for most.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is the best Samsung tablet yet. If you can get over its somewhat high price, it's a sound Android tablet investment.
The AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is a quality tablet, but the Nexus 7 offers contract-free 4G LTE support with better performance at a much better price.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is a stunning tablet with a truly useful stylus, but it's not worth $400 unless you're an artist or prefer pen input.
Samsung delivers a powerful, boundary-pushing device that gets a lot right. Yet its complicated features and high price raise questions about its purpose.
With its huge screen and throwback stylus, the Samsung Galaxy Note with Android 4.0 is a polarizing smartphone that winks at tablet territory. Those who like their screens extra-large will find a top-notch device that lets multimedia shine. The S Pen adds some artistic potential, but for some, the phone will simply be too big.

Is your skin feeling drier than usual? Is this dry cold air parching your throat, your sinuses? Do you have a chronic cough?
Well, you could blame it all on the drought.
Droughts can have some physical side effects, some of them life threatening in severe situations, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The CDC says:
"During droughts, dry soils — and often wildfires — increase the amount of airborne particles, such as pollen and smoke. These particles can irritate the airways and worsen chronic respiratory illnesses such as asthma. Poor air quality can also increase the risk of respiratory infections, such as bacterial pneumonia and valley fever, a fungal infection and common cause of pneumonia in many areas of the southwestern United States, Mexico, Central and South America."
Symptoms of valley fever include fever, chest pain, coughing, rash and muscle aches. Some people are at increased risk for developing disseminated infection, including those who have weakened immune systems, are in their third trimester of pregnancy, or who are of African-American, Asian, Hispanic, or Filipino descent.
According to the EPA, particulates in the air can cause:
- premature death in people with heart or lung disease;
- nonfatal heart attacks;
- irregular heartbeat;
- aggravated asthma;
- decreased lung function; and
- increased respiratory symptoms, such as irritation of the airways, coughing or difficulty breathing.
Because the water supplies are not being refreshed, water quality can become compromised, making animals sick and contaminating the food supply from start to finish.
Even playing in the water can be more dangerous, so watch your dogs and kids, who can become ill by being exposed to cyanobacteria, single-celled organisms that live in fresh, brackish, and marine water, and use sunlight to make their own food. In warm, nutrient-rich environments, microscopic cyanobacteria can grow quickly, creating blooms that spread across the water's surface and may become visible.
Some cyanobacteria that can form produce toxins that are among the most powerful natural poisons known. These toxins have no known antidotes. CyanoHABs can make people, their pets, and other animals sick. Often, the first sign that an HAB exists is a sick dog that has been swimming in an algae-filled pond.
And if that's not enough, droughts can increase the likelihood of diseases transmitted by mosquitos and pests, including West Nile virus, encephalitis, Lyme disease and Hanta virus.
Some tips for protecting yourselfPay close attention to heart attack symptoms of chest pain, palpitations, fatigue and shortness of breath.
If you have asthma, follow your asthma management plan closely.
Watch your activity level when outdoors. Walk instead of jog, don't exercise near busy roads or plan to be outside when air quality is better.
And pray for rain.

Shek O Beach reopened
The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) announced today (May 29) that the Marine Police and Government Flying Service had completed searches in the nearby waters of 10 beaches in the Southern District last night and today, and confirmed that no shark was sighted.
These beaches are Shek O Beach, Deep Water Bay Beach, Repulse Bay Beach, Middle Bay Beach, South Bay Beach, Chung Hom Kok Beach, St. Stephen's Beach, Big Wave Bay Beach, Stanley Main Beach and Turtle Cove Beach.
LCSD's shark prevention net maintenance contractor has conducted sonar checks and no shark or suspected big fish was found inside the swimming zones enclosed by the shark prevention nets at the 10 beaches.
The contractor has also completed checking the shark prevention nets at the 10 beaches and confirmed that they are in good condition, and that was confirmed by the independent contractor.
The red flag at Shek O Beach has been lowered and the beach has been reopened to the public. The shark flags at the beach and nine other beaches in the Southern District are still hoisted to remind swimmers to stay inside the shark prevention nets as sharks have been sighted in nearby waters.
LCSD's staff will remain vigilant and strengthen patrols inside the swimming zones. The LCSD has also asked the Marine Police and Government Flying Service to conduct searches in nearby waters in the next few days.
Activities provided by the Stanley Main Beach Water Sports Centre and St. Stephen's Beach Water Sports Centre which share the same waters remain suspended until further notice.
Staff of all other LCSD beaches have also enhanced vigilance. Swimmers are advised to stay inside the shark prevention nets to ensure safety.

PCSE Students
(Newport News, Va.) - Matthew Rutherford, Christopher Newport University senior and Interdisciplinary Studies major, will have his work displayed during the upcoming juried exhibition New Waves 2013, at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA). Rutherford's piece - a product of software he designed and programmed - creates an abstract visual portrait of a person based on their traits and characteristics.
"My major is composed of concentrations in Computer Science and Fine Art, so it made sense to do a project with both in mind. The inspiration came from two of my professors, Dr. Anton Siochi, Associate Professor of Physics, Computer Science and Engineering, and Professor Alan Skees, Lecturer in Fine Art. Dr. Siochi introduced me to the art-programming language used to create the software, and Professor Skees worked closely with me on the class project."
Dr. Edward Brash, Chair of CNU's Department of Physics, Computer Science and Engineering notes "Matthew's work is a shining example of the power of a liberal arts education. The interdisciplinary major at CNU is a perfect vehicle to allow students to bring together their analytical and creative skills in a synergistic way, and Matthew's project exemplifies our desire to stimulate meaningful and productive intellectual inquiry brilliantly."
MOCA will present New Waves 2013 from Jan. 25 - Apr. 28. This exciting exhibition demonstrates the diversity of materials and approaches that are used in contemporary art today. For more information regarding this release, contact Dr. Brash at firstname.lastname@example.com. For information regarding the exhibit, please visit www.virginiamoca.org.
(Newport News, Va.) - Christopher Newport University physics majors Chris (William) Colvin and Nicholas McMahon have been awarded funding to participate in the Conference Experience for Undergraduates (CEU) Program at the 2011 fall meeting of the Division of Nuclear Physics of the American Physical Society. The award decision was based on the high quality of Colvin's and McMahon's research abstracts and their personal contributions to the efforts of the CNU Nuclear Physics research group, as judged by the CEU review committee members.
The American Physics Society strives to be the leading voice for physics and a source of information for the advancement of physics and for the benefit of humanity. "Chris and Nicholas are currently doing research with our group at Jefferson Lab," says Dr. Fatiha Benmokhtar, assistant professor of physics. "Chris has worked on testing a new type of particle detector known as a Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM). This is a brand-new technology in the U.S. for a new generation of particle detectors. Chris learned the techniques involved in testing the GEM from a former CNU student (Craig Plazony) and worked closely with other scientists at the lab. CNU is one of only a handful of universities in the U.S. working on these new detectors."
Dr. Benmokhtar continues "Nicholas' work was on the analysis of data associated with a cryogenic helium target being used in a series of high-profile experiments at Jefferson Lab. I am a spokesperson for one of the experiments that aims to study the behavior of a proton-neutron pair inside the helium nucleus. In particular, knowing the density of the helium target is crucial if one wants to get an accurate number of the detected particles, and this is what Nicholas has worked on. As such, his work is absolutely critical to the success of these experiments. His efforts were amazing, especially since he was a freshman during this past summer when he did the analysis."
For more information contact Dr.Benmokhtar at email@example.com.
Nancy Nasser, a Christopher Newport University senior computer science major has been named the recipient of a scholarship sponsored by the National Science Foundation to attend the 2011 Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing.

-- — In addition to writing in to the rant and rave, I hope you actually called the school too regarding the head lice. Or went up there in person. At my son's school, they check pretty often and then send a note home, letting parents know their child was checked and whether lice was found or not.
I just watched Senator Lindsey Graham on Face the Nation saying the US should use missiles to destroy the Syria air force. When is the US going to learn that you are not going to change these largely Muslim nations with military intervention. Those that do not learn from history are destined to repeat it: the Crusades, Russia in Afghanistan, etc.
A big thumbs down to Moulton Branch Elementary for failing to provide water to the students at the field day event. Young children in the hot sun for three hours, no water, just isn't right. Yet, a golf cart drove around handing out cans of soda to the volunteers. None of the outdoor water fountains work. The snow cones, offered only after the event, were a nice effort but they needed water. Not thick sugary drinks.
I understand the appeal process drags out sentences but when a person is caught dead to rights or admits to being guilty or a party to murder why does it take this country 30 plus years to put them to death? Also when trying to get a suspect to admit guilt why do they offer them a life sentence instead of say five years versus immediate execution after found guilty in a court of law? The old west was much more efficient in carrying out sentences.
I am confused! I work and pay my own healthcare and because I have not met my deductible I have to pay $700 up front before I get my MRI? I don't have it and will have to deal with the pain! My child who has to pay for a school lunch will get a cheese sandwich and milk if he/she has to charge lunch in May instead of a regular lunch? Why are people who work and pay for health insurance and taxes getting punished?

Razer Orochi now shipping in limited quantities, we go hands-on
For starters, it's a darn good mouse. We toyed around with it in both Bluetooth and USB modes, and as with every other Razer mouse we've used, this one was buttery smooth, precise and comfortable in the hand. It's marginally smaller than Logitech's Anywhere Mouse MX, wonderfully lightweight and tailor made for both righties and southpaws. The company's patented "clicking" scroll wheel is definitely here, and all six dedicated buttons (left / right plus four side buttons) were easy to reach and exhibited the perfect amount of travel. At $79.99, the Orochi boasts the exact same MSRP as the aforementioned Anywhere Mouse MX, making it surprisingly competitive in terms of value. We can't say we'd recommend using this for an all-night fragfest, but it'll certainly handle sniping far better than any other travel mouse we've seen.
In related news, we also had a chance to whisk this critter about on the $19.99 Kabuto ultra-soft, grippy-backed surface, and while it's not quite as spacious as the gargantuan Megasoma, it's a fantastic size for those on the go. Oh, and it's really, really light and easy to roll up, which is definitely a plus when you're throwing things together to make that last-minute flight. As far as high-quality gaming mats go, a Jackson isn't too much to ask, and while Razer generally charges a healthy premium for its wares, we're actually pretty satisfied with the price point here. Have a look around in the gallery if you're into that kind of thing.

What a fantastic finish to the November F&O series. It was a day where long rollovers in the high beta sectors like Real Estate, Infra and Auto and the defensive Pharma stocks lifted the markets to hit the highest level in the calendar year 2012.
While, some heavy short covering in the Banking sector towards the fag end of the session saw the NSE Nifty close above the 5800 mark for the first time in the year 2012. Even the Sensex breached the 19,000 levels for the first time in nearly two-months on expectations that the government would be able to push through economic reforms. Adding to the bullish flavor, credit rating agency Moody's on Tuesday said the outlook on India rating was stable.
Moody's said the stable outlook on the country's Baa3 rating was based on its structural strengths of a high household savings rate and relatively competitive private sector, which could help raise growth in coming years.
Finally, the BSE Sensex closed at 19170, surging 328 points over the previous close. It had earlier touched a day's high of 19205 and a day's low of 18873. It opened at 18873.
The NSE Nifty was quoting at 5,825, up 98 points over the previous close. It earlier touched a day's high of 5,833 and a day's low of 5736. It opened at 5,736.
RIL, TCS, Wipro, ICICI Bank, Bajaj Auto, Tata Motors, ITC, Bharti Airtel, SBI, L&T, Ranbaxy, Tata Power, NTPC, Dr Reddy's Lab, HDFC, Coal India, L&T, are among gainers in Sensex and Nifty.
Infosys, BHEL, NTPC, Maruti Suzuki, Hero MotoCorp, Siemens, Power Grid, HCL Tech, are among losers in Sensex and Nifty.
The INDIA VIX on NSE surged 10% to end at 15.37. It hit a day's high of 15.62 and a day's low of 13.48.
Today's noteworthy rally was seen on the back of life time high turnover over 3.92 lakh crores turnover was registered on the bourses. For the Series, the NSE Nifty and the BSE Sensex ended higher by 2.1% each.
Top gainers in the November F&O series
Globally, most Asian markets ended with smart gains. Except for the Shanghai Composite index in China all the other Asian equity indices ended with gains.
The Hang Seng index in Hong Kong ended with gains for the first time in the past three trading session. The index gained 1%. The Nikkei index in Japan was up 1%, the Straits Times rose 1.1%, Kospi index added 1.1% and Taiwan index rose 1%.
In Europe, stock markets opened higher tracking gains in Wall Street after optimistic comments from President Barack Obama about reaching a deal over the fiscal cliff.
The FTSE index in UK was up 1%, the DAX index in Germany gained 0.9% and the CAC index in France gained 1.1%.

TCS won a multi-million, multi-year contract from the Home Office, a key department of the United Kingdom government to manage the technology needs and support services of the newly formed Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
Shares of GMR Infrastructure was under pressure after Government of Maldives issued a notice to the GMR Male' International Airport Ltd intending to take over the possession and control of the Ibrahim Nassir International Airport under the pretext that the Agreement is void.
Cinemax India announced that Company has been informed by its promoters that, they have entered into a definitive sale agreement with PVR Limited (through Cine Hospitality Private Limited, its wholly owned subsidiary) for the sale of their entire stake of 69.27% (sixty nine point two seven per cent) in Cinemax India Limited.

A cottage made of sunflowers sounds like a storybook fantasy. But just such a place is blooming at the Fullerton Arboretum Children's Garden. And it isn't too late to plant and enjoy one in a sunny spot in your yard or garden. You can include a "roof" made of morning glories.
Building a Sunflower House
1. Select a site with full sun and good drainage.
2. Determine shape and size, but keep dimensions small, or the morning glories won't form a roof. Mark dimensions on the ground with a garden hose to help you visualize boundaries.

Dri Archer had until Tuesday to make a decision as to whether he would return to Kent State for his senior season or declare himself eligible for the NFL Draft.
But the versatile 5-foot-8, 175-pound Archer wasted little time once he made up his mind. About 1:30 p.m. Friday afternoon, he announced on Twitter that he was staying.
"The decision has been made 2013 I will be in a Kent State uniform for my senior season," he posted on an Instagram picture he tweeted out to his followers. "A choice had to be made and I know this is a great choice I am making my comin [sic] back to school with that bein [sic] said I am going to work/train harder than I ever have before to make this last go around the best time of my life believe that! I got some things to accomplish before I leave we bout [sic] to win this MAC CHAMPIONSHIP and the bowl game. #Blessed and oh yeah #Heisman2013."
Archer compiled a single-season school-record 23 touchdowns and had nearly 2,500 all-purpose yards in the regular season to help the Flashes (11-3) to their best season in program history.
Kent State (8-0 in the MAC) had its luck run out in the postseason. First, the Flashes fell to Northern Illinois in double overtime in the MAC Championship at Ford Field in Detroit. Then, on Jan. 6, KSU lost 17-13 to Sun Belt Conference champion Arkansas State in the GoDaddy.com Bowl in Mobile, Ala. — KSU's first bowl appearance in 40 years.

One person suffered minor injuries Thursday afternoon when a hot oiler truck caught fire at an Antero Resources well pad between Silt and Rifle. The Daily Sentinel reports that according to the Rifle Fire Protection District they responded to the fire at about 3pm yesterday at a well pad off County Road 352, east of the Garfield County Regional Airport. Half a truck was on fire when firefighters arrived and were able to get it under control in 45 minutes. The truck had been used to heat water to clean well fracturing tanks. According to Antero operations manager, Jon Black, the truck belonged to an Antero contractor. One contractor employee was taken to Grand River Hospital in Rifle. His condition is unknown but not considered life-threatening. No other structures or vehicles were involved in the fire….

Delta's police chief says he's considering other employment options, but only because of personal finances. The Daily Press says that Police Chief Robert Thomas revealed yesterday he is considering a position as chief for Greenwood Village and was also a finalist for Pueblo. Delta City Manager Joe Kerby says the city is aware of Thomas' applications to other departments. Thomas claims he is considering other opportunities not necessarily as upward career moves but for the good of his family. Montrose Police Chief Tom Chinn praised Thomas for modernizing the Delta department.

Families of fallen service members are getting a trip of a lifetime to start new memories, thanks to a non–profit called the Snowball Express. According to NBC 11 News, the mission of Snowball Express is to provide hope and new memories for the children of fallen military heroes who have died in active duty since 9/11. One of those enjoying the trip is 6 yr old Stuart. He and his siblings will board a private plane to Dallas to remember their dad. The trip is in memory of their father Justin Keenan, a Fruita Monument High School grad and U.S. Air Force recruiter who was killed 5 years ago in a car accident on his way to training. Snowball Express hosts an annual event that brings children of fallen military heroes together for a few days of fun around the holidays.

The Norwood Post reports that organizer Becky Bailey says there are 19 artisans signed up for two full days of shopping at two venues. The Log Cabin on Lucerne Street and the Norwood Community Center on Naturita Street, an easy walk from one to the other.

The Port Arthur News
Wolverine has long been one of the most popular characters in the X-Men comic book universe. That should explain why this fan-favorite character gets yet another shot at cinematic glory with this weekend's release of "The Wolverine," the sixth movie to feature Hugh Jackman in the role.
The good news is that the sixth time is the charm, as the film turns out to be both a thrilling action picture and a surprisingly complex character study. As far as superhero mutant movies go, "The Wolverine" is pretty good.
Things start off in the Yukon, where Logan, aka "Wolverine" is living an isolated, nearly feral existence. Enter the red-haired, katana-wielding "bodyguard" named Yukio (Rila Fukushima) who has been tasked with bringing Logan to Japan. For those of you not up on your X-Men lore, it turns out that Logan was a World War II prisoner of war in Nagasaki when the atomic bomb went off. He saved a Japanese soldier's life, and now that soldier hopes our hero can save him once again.
Logan finds himself caught up in a power struggle that pits him against everyone from Yakuza gangsters to ninja assassins and a few supernatural creatures with deadly powers. It's exactly what you would expect from a summer blockbuster, and for the most part, those battles are quite thrilling. Case in point, a superb fight sequence set on top of a bullet train traveling 200mph through Tokyo. It is edge of your seat stuff and easily one of the most thrilling action scenes of the year.
The would be enough for most summer blockbusters, but "The Wolverine" mixes in some actual character development, a well thought out script and, believe it or not, genuine acting from most of the main characters. Hugh Jackman is superb once again in the role that he seems to have been born to play. We also get a solid performance from Fukushima, whose battle-ready heroine should prove to be hit at the next Comic Con convention.
It's not all perfect. There are a few characters who come across as little more that cardboard stereotypes, not to mention the final battle sequence which proves to be a bit of a letdown. The truth is that the last thirty minutes of the film are not as well made as the first hour and a half. Still, there's more than enough good stuff to make "The Wolverine" worth the ticket price. Don't forget to stick around for the credit teaser that will get fans excited about the next X-Men film.
As much as I liked "The Wolverine," the fan boy in me is even more thrilled to see that 20th Century Fox has the franchise back on a firm footing once again.
Movie reviews by Sean, "The Movie Guy," are published bi-weekly in "The Port Arthur News" and seen weekly on KFDM-TV and KBOI 2-TV. Sean welcomes your comments via email at email@example.com.

Entrepreneurship center to open
The Walker College of Business at Appalachian State University held a ribbon cutting Friday for its new Transportation Insight Center for Entrepreneurship.
Speakers included Transportation Insight CEO Paul Thompson and Walker College of Business Dean Randy Edwards.
The center will expand resources and tools, so that emerging entrepreneurs can develop the skills they need to start their own businesses and drive the economy.
The Transportation Insight Center for Entrepreneurship was made possible by a private, $1 million gift.
The center is housed in Raley Hall in a 1,700-square-foot, contemporarily designed space that will include four offices, student lounge, meeting area and incubator office space to support students trying to launch their own businesses.
The center will also support outreach services, programming and student travel to entrepreneurship competitions.
"This gift will be truly transformational for entrepreneurship education at Appalachian," said Randy Edwards, dean of the Walker College of Business.
"Transportation Insight is a great company and it is a pleasure to partner with them on this project that will benefit our students who have a shared dream of starting their own business," he said.
With a desire to mentor and foster entrepreneurial spirit, Transportation Insight hopes the new center will enhance Appalachian's reputation as a premier institution for entrepreneurship.
"We are honored to participate in the development of these future entrepreneurs," said Transportation Insight Chief Strategy Officer Chris Baltz. "Their creativity and ingenuity will ultimately enable them to contribute to high growth businesses and create value for the American economy. That's a real and measurable impact for emerging leaders in the entrepreneurial world of innovation and sustainability."
In addition to the support provided by the center, Walker College offers a B.S.B.A. degree in management with a concentration in entrepreneurship.
Transportation Insight has been nationally recognized by Inc. Magazine for its entrepreneurial excellence.
Referring to the logistics industry as one of the country's main economic engines, Inc. Magazine has ranked the Hickory-based third-party logistics provider as one of the fastest growing privately held companies in the United States for the last four years in a row.
Founded in 1998, Transportation Insight is among an elite group of Inc. 5000 companies experiencing significant and continuous expansion in years 10 and beyond of doing business.

New Star Wars film to be "original story"
Mark Hamill has been talking Star Wars, plus a bit of info on the plan for Star Wars: Episode VII.
As things begin to clear a little following Disney's announcement that it's bought Lucasfilm off George Lucas, thoughts have begun to turn to exactly what shape the new collection of Star Wars films that are being planned will take.
There's still lots of speculation doing the rounds, but something that does seem to have a little substance to it is a report that popped up at E! Online yesterday. It quoted a Lucasfilm source as saying the new films aren't going to be based on the existing Star Wars books, rather that "it's an original story". It's an original story that George Lucas has mapped out, although he won't be writing the scripts or directing.
Furthermore, Mark Hamill has been chatting to EW, and he told them that George Lucas invited him and Carrie Fisher to lunch last August. "I thought he was going to talk about his retirement or the Star Wars TV series I've heard about", he admitted. "So when he said 'we decided to do Episodes VII, VIII and IX' I was just gobsmacked". Hamill isn't sure whether or not he'll be involved in the new films, but it looks likely that Luke Skywalker will be (although that's speculation on our part).
Finally, George Lucas himself has said that work has already begun with writers, and it seems as though Episodes VI, VIII and IX will be the end of the originally planned saga. That seems to be the broad hint that's coming through.
Again, as more news comes through, we'll keep you posted.

Well, that's worrying that Lucas seems to be insisting on his plan for the trilogy, I just hope there's enough leeway for someone to come in and bring it to life.
This is good news - the Expanded Universe books are pretty hit & miss, and with the exception of Timothy Zahn's 'Heir to the Empire' trilogy bear little resemblance to Star Wars (the releases over the last 5-10 years have been pretty damn dull really).
A gap of around 30 years after RotJ would seem logical - scope for some cameos but also a whole new character set.
Could we have some Stormtroopers thou please Disney?
We will, of course, notice the difference from the first second...no 20th Century Fox fanfare!
I'm officially excited about all this now, granted this new trilogy's very existence has more to do with being a bargaining incentive over Disney's purchase of Lucasfilm, and it has less reason for being than the prequels (which were, in theory, the other half of the story), but darn it, it's A NEW 'STAR WARS' TRILOGY, and one that will have minimum Lucas day-to-day involvement... look at how good the 'Star Trek' movies were - well, the second, third, fourth, and sixth anyway - after they kicked Roddenberry to the curb!
Whatever the story arc will be on the new trilogy, if they want to make a (presumably) May 2015 release date, they would need to start shooting by early 2014 at latest, which could work if they keep the CGI effects quota to a minimum - real physical sets, actual locations, etc - and that way, they could absolutely make a visually stunning movie with flawless effects work on a post-production of about ten months... my first choice for director would be Neil Blomkamp, who's with me!?
Tell you something, I will get that familiar tingle down my back when I'm sat in the cinema and those trumpets blast out!
Just hope that its not followed by that now too familiar feeling of desperate disappointment...
Just give me Crimson Empire! Now THAT would be the most awesome trilogy ever.
Luke as an old Jedi Master would be very pleasing, a kind of full circle with the old hermit Ben Kenobi. I'd like to see that.
There'll be a clause in the deal that let's George 'meddler' Lucas have the final say on anything released under LucasFilm. Disney should start by rebooting the prequel trilogy.
Yeah I thought the same thing. Hopefully he just came along and said "Right guys, the story will be Han Solos son trains to be a Jedi, go write it" (or something silly like that) then walks away to spend his billions and that's the extent of his involvement and the writers can flesh it out and make it good...!
Might want to edit this part of the article "as though Episodes VI, VIII and IX will be the end of the originally planned saga.", as it would be Episode VII not VI, as its written now.
Otherwise I agree with many others, 30 yrs into the future would be great, and they could use the cameo's of the originals and relaunch the franchise with new characters for a new generation of fans, and still appease the original fans as well.
Exactly. George wont let go of the reins completely. He'll have a nod on things in one place or another. Cant say I blame him either.
The intro wont start with the fox jingle and then the star wars music :( ( not very uptodate with who owns what nowerdays but disney dont own fox do they?)
In the intro I'd love to see Tinkerbell fly up to flick her magic wand then ***BLAM!!*** she gets blasted by a TIE fighter as it buzzes the castle. :-D
Stormtroopers: yes
Child actors: no
Well, an elder Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, I'd like to see. An elder princess Leia.... not so much :P
Not if she still has the bikini!
I have no freakin' clue how they plan to continue the live action saga O_o It will probably end up like the way Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides did. Just sayin', I don't know what other story these is to come, it mine as well could just be a sci fi drama instead of war since the primary Sith was vanquished in episode 6.
Why not? Why is it OK for men to be old & not for women?
There's still an empire to fight, just because the leaders died doesn't mean it did
Creative advisor means we will politely listen but don't have to obey! George has left an outline but he has no creative control beyond that through this deal. Curiously this is kind of what happened after Star Trek the motion picture when Gene Roddenberry was booted upstairs as some kind of Creative advisor and had no real control over the direction the series took...we got wrath of Khan!
In many ways the problem with the prequel trilogy was two fold, firstly George massively miscalculated the audience. He clearly stated he was going after a sub 13 audience not realising there was a huge adult fan-base who were hyped for the film. Secondly here was a classic case of a film creator needing studio execs to put the brakes on and say no to ideas! George had free reign to do what he like and everybody was terrified within the organisation to raise a dissenting voice! Ironically a simpler film mirroring Luke's life starting with a teen Anakin would of been a safer choice. The clones should of been the bad guys under the control of the Sith and the Storm troopers should of been conscripts drafted to fight the overwhelming clone hordes!
Of course the dichotomy with the prequel trilogy is it was highly successful and profitable! The recent 3D release of Phantom Menace made something like 100million US dollars! Also with the target under 13 male audience loved it and had no problem whatsoever with Ja Ja!
Which brings me to the new films! It was never going to be based on the extended universe books, legally it can't be! Disney has bought the rights to the Star Wars name and any new material they make. The extended universe doesn't sit under that, Disney can't make money from make a Thrawn trilogy! They have to make a new film if they want to make money back from their investment. And they will make the money back, even if the fans HATE episode 7, 8 and 9 it will still make huge amounts of money!
The good news is Disney have now gained experience with the Marvel universe and the mistakes made with the Star Wars prequel trilogy. If episode 7 is more character focussed and less childish they have a chance with the fans! They can still make a film that Children will like but with less of the Ja Ja factor. Keeping George at a polite distance should be fairly easy I think so I have moderately good hopes.
Another thing hopefully the fans will have slightly lower expectations this time, everybody was so hyped in 1999 (myself very much included) that it was almost inevitable there was going to be a backlash!
That better be on the DVD release....
And don't forget about Rick Berman; under him we got the mediocre TNG films, when Paramount kicked him off the franchise and brought in J.J. Abrams, we got the hugely fun and highly enjoyable 2009 film... say no more!
After ANH Lucas drafted up rough back stories to 11 more episodes making 4 separate trilogies. After Empire he cut this down to 3 sets of trilogies, one a prequel detailing the rise of Darth Vader and three final episodes set some time after ROTJ telling the story of the next generation of Skywalkers and Solos and the rebuilding of the Republic, Luke becoming head of the new Jedi order and being an Obi-Wan style figure to the young stars.
Needless to say, if Lucas has passed all his notes from over the last 35 years on to Disney, there will be plenty of material.
Lucas isn't writing or directing, so this has potential. When comparing the original films to the newer episodes, we see Lucas going from an innovative, risk taking, and hardworking director to a lazy and formulaic cash grabber who relied too much on CGI and wrote scripts whose "plots" were revolved around what scenes would sell the most action figures/video games (podracing anyone?). The overuse of green screens and wooden dialogue made even seasoned actors like Liam Neeson and Ewan MacGregor look like dispassionate amateurs. Even if the new films are horrible, we'll have some hilarious Plinkett reviews to look forward to.
However substantial Lucas' notes are, the reality is that most of them would probably all be based on a Star Wars that's no longer relevant to modern audiences. This is the reason why he made a good move by putting it into different hands. Pass it on to those who can update it with new characters, new plots, new stories, and new sensibilities.
We need SW to move past the premise of an aging filmaker's homage to the samurai flicks and pulp serials ''he'' loved growing up. We need a new trilogy with its own identity.
Except Berman had a say in First Contact, the TNG film most say was the best of that franchise. Insurrection and Nemesis were not bad films, just sadly by the time they came out, TNG had been off the air for years and Voyager by then had become the Janeway/7 of 9 lovefest which turned off alot of fans as well.
You're right, '...First Contact' was easily the best TNG film, unfortunately that's not saying much, both '...Insurrection' and '...Nemesis' were certainly not bad films, per se, just painfully mediocre;
The former was wrecked by meddling in Michael Piller's original 'Heart of Darkness'-inspired script (Berman, Paramount, and even Patrick Stewart had a say), whilst the latter was undone by both not having Nicholas Meyer co-write and direct (which Rick Berman wanted, but the studio forced him to hire Stuart Baird as director, who had never watched a single episode of the series), and also by giving writer John Logan veto powers over the final shooting script, meaning Meyer couldn't contribute his own ideas to it, and thus declined the director's chair... and that, as they say, was that for the TNG movie franchise!
Do you mean the Fox Movies fanfare?
It's more likely to be the Disney 'when you wish upon a star' intro :(
Umm, nope. The trumpets that blast when the Star Wars logo appears...
A good story is a good story no matter the age, the influence or the genre - ANH itself is a story which, although influenced by westerns and 1930s adventure serials, is thousands of years old - and a story which is still made over and over again today - sometimes with great results, sometimes with terrible. When Lucas had written ANH, which for its day was the height of modern pulp cinema writing, he then looked up The Hero's Journey and realised that his story was actually heavily grounded in classical literature - such is the influence that the monomyth has on story telling from all ages.
Give a talented film maker an old story and they'll do something great with it, give a poor film maker a great story and they'll do it no justice at all.
Harumph! you got me there! :)
My problem with Lucas has never been his ability to come up with a story, but rather his insistence on the minutia of that story. He created the world and the basic premises that gave us the original trilogy, the Clone Wars animated series, the more excellent computer games, so I find the this news cause for hope not dismay.
I hope they don't make Stormtroopers CGI.

Greater Sudbury Pest Control & Extermination Services
Find Pest & Termite Treatment Services in Greater Sudbury
Sudbury homeowners may encounter a number of insects that develop in lakes and ponds. Some of these insects, like damselflies, are beneficial. They live near the lake where they develop and do not normally become nuisances.
There are other aquatic insects that can become nuisances when they gather in or around homes and other structures.
Caddisflies are insects that develop in the water. The immature caddisflies are aquatic. They eat small animals and things that they find in the water. Many immature caddisflies make webs or nets to catch their food. When they become adults, caddisflies leave the water to find mates.
Adult caddisflies of many species are active at dusk or dawn. Adults of some species are attracted to light at night. They gather around brightly lighted homes or businesses in large numbers.
Caddisflies can be very disturbing to homeowners who find them gathered on the porch. Business owners sometimes find that large numbers of these flying insects cause serious problems when they gather around the doors of the business.

© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
Already, we are talking about President Bush's legacy and wondering how and for what he will be remembered.After next year's legislative session, Gov. Sonny Perdue officially enters lame-duck territory. He's preparing now to add "emeritus" to his title. Perdue has established a wondrous and potentially problematical political action committee with over $750,000 from his re-election campaign contributions. Rumors abound as to whether this money will be used to punish GOP enemies from the 2007 legislative session or as seed money to get on a vice presidential short list - or to begin a campaign to succeed Sen. Johnny Isakson, if Isakson comes marching home to run for governor in 2010. Let's take a look at Perdue's legacy right now in terms of his dealing with perhaps Georgia's proudest institution: the University System of Georgia. Perdue isn't known for his day-to-day involvement with the University System, but his years in office will leave a huge mark. Perhaps no governor since Eugene Talmadge has dabbled so much with the university apparatus. In 2004, Perdue's bumbling bookkeeping forced him to cut the University System budget by tens of millions of dollars after the budget year had begun. Then-Chancellor Tom Meredith called for an unprecedented mid-year tuition hike to compensate for the loss. Meredith effectively signed his own pink slip. The tuition hike was not approved, and Perdue worked behind the scenes for more than a year to make sure Meredith knew he was no longer wanted here. The Capitol buzz is that Meredith was fighting with Perdue over $1 billion in cuts to the University System - and knew he had a year to find opportunities elsewhere. He's now in Mississippi. Meanwhile, Perdue did step up to bat for one administrator: UGA President Michael Adams. In the biggest battle ever waged in Bulldog Country, Perdue quietly took Adams' side over football legend Vince Dooley when Adams demanded that Dooley retire as athletics director. Thousands of Georgia alumni protested loudly, but Adams and Perdue stood firm. The Dooley matter still simmers, but more oil is about to be applied to the fire. Perdue and Adams want to build a brand-new medical college in Athens. The folks in Augusta are spitting mad. Is there really a need to duplicate the bureaucracy and budgets in Athens for what already exists in Augusta at the Medical College of Georgia? (FYI: Executives of the Medical College have been told to keep quiet about the rival Athens facility - or else.) Meanwhile, Grady Hospital may be breathing its last gasp if the state cannot find tens of millions of dollars to save it from impending bankruptcy. Fifty percent of all doctors now practicing in Georgia passed through Grady. The big hospital serves the teaching needs of Emory and Morehouse. The Emory med school has other alternatives if Grady closes. Morehouse has nowhere else to turn for a residency hospital. So why are we even talking about building and staffing another state medical school when we are struggling to keep our largest and best-equipped hospital from collapsing? It makes no sense, especially if we check out the many other community health-care needs, ranging from better kids' insurance to upgrading trauma units. Perdue has brought the state back to a grand Georgia tradition. It no longer matters whether you and I are better off than when the governor was first elected; it only matters if the governor is better off than when he was elected. The backroom dealing that Perdue has done with the University System will certainly fill out his legacy right alongside customized protection from taxes in real estate deals you and I would never have been privy to. Remember Oaky Woods? The university project also pays off some old political IOUs on the Board of Regents. Ah, we digress. Without much notice, Perdue has surpassed Eugene Talmadge in monkeying with the supposedly autonomous University System. Eugene Talmadge's greatest legacy was an enduring black eye for the state. Wonder what Perdue will leave us. And I wonder: When will the first Kia roll off the assembly line at West Point? Syndicated columnist Bill Shipp writes on Georgia politics.

This question came in to our general inbox about disabling Network Manager in Ubuntu. Before I answer it, let me first stress that although we try our best to get to all your email questions, we won't be able to reach them in time. So we recommend that you post your questions below one or our posts that's similar to the question being asked. We'll try to answer as many as we can but please be reminded that we can't reach all of your questions. So if you don't see an answer to your question, it may be that we haven't reached it yet.
Back to the question: How to disable Network Manager in Ubuntu?
Network Manager comes with Ubuntu by default, and it lets you manage and configure network interfaces easily. Unlike the command line where you must type commands and switches to configure network adapters, Network Manager gives you an easy to use GUI to configure, disable, enable network interfaces in Ubuntu. You don't need to be an Ubuntu guru to configure wireless networks.
It is especially important for new users who want to setup Wi-Fi or wireless networks. However, If you feel comfortable configuring your network interfaces without Network Manager, then more power unto you.
This brief tutorial is going to show you how to disable Network Manager in Ubuntu. If this feature is disabled, you'll have to configuring your network adapters using the command line or if-scripts.
To get started, press Ctrl – Alt – T on your keyboard to open the terminal. When it opens, run the commands below to open Network Manager config file.
gksu gedit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
When the file opens, change the value highlighted below to true. The true value enables if scripts to manage your network adapters. That's how to disable Network Manager in Ubuntu.
Now, since Network Manager is not managing your adapter, you must now configure your interfaces manually. To go that, go to the network interface file by running the commands below
gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces
Then configure your network adapter. For the first adapter, it will be called eth0. Configure the IP address, Netmask, Broadcast, and Gateway and save.
Restart and enjoy! Ifupdown will be managing your network adapters.

August 1, 2014
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP/CBS) - The Kentucky man leaving giant tips at restaurants around the nation in the name of his late brother has struck in New Hampshire.
Seth Collins of Lexington handed a $500 tip Monday to 23-year-old waitress Taylor Dube at the Portsmouth Gas Light Co. Pizza Pub.
Waitress Taylor Dube says she normally makes $50 in tips on a given day at the Gaslight Pizza Pub
"I didn't know what to say, I was like, can I hug you? Can I hug you again?," said Dube.
Dube says the place was mostly empty when Collins walked in ordered the $6.50 pizza buffet and she only expected him to leave a couple bucks for a tip.
"Oh my god, i'm going to cry," said Dube. "I'm just the receiver, he's the hero."
This joy all started with Collins' brother, Aaron Collins. Aaron died last year, leaving behind a will requesting that his family go out to eat and leave an "awesome tip." Collins carried out and recorded his brother's last wish.
"I did it the first time, it went viral, people donated about 50-thousand dollars in a few days. Since then, I've been going around leaving five-hundred-dollar tips," said Collins.
Dube is the 84th person to get the big tip.
"I get to make their day and hopefully inspire generosity in that person. But beyond that, I'm creating this legacy for my brother," said Collins.

Industry & Economy
States - Andhra Pradesh
Gas grid could come up along 4 major AP corridors
Our Bureau
Hyderabad , March 21
Given the demand-supply mismatch and the huge gas find in the KG-basin region, the Andhra Pradesh Government, through strategic partners, plans to develop a gas pipe grid along four major dense corridors of the State.
These corridors would be Kakinada-Vizag, Hyderabad-Karimnagar, Hyderabad-Anantapur, that could potentially connect Bangalore, and Vijayawada-Nellore and Kadapa, that could be reached out to connect Chennai.
This follows a high power meeting that was based on a demand study for natural gas and proposed routing of the gas grid in Andhra Pradesh, undertaken by IDFC Private Equity and INCAP, through consultants Ernst & Young.
According to the study, the demand distribution indicates the westward line from Kakinada could be most lucrative. The gas volumes on this trunk route indicate possibility of accommodating more than one pipeline.
Review meet
At a review meeting, it was decided to firm up plans for development of the gas grid transmission pipelines infrastructure and the capital cost for trunk sections is estimated at Rs 4,000 crore, which would mean an equity requirement of Rs 1,000-1,400 crore in a three-five year time-frame.
This, the Government and consultants felt, could be potentially met through raising resources from financial investors and internal accruals.
The State-wide network, according to the E&Y study, shows that this grid will enable optimised consumption of natural gas from the KG-basin within the State and also ensure all round economic development.
The State Government has been toying with the idea of the gas grid given the acute demand-supply mismatch over the years. Current gas supply is being met from the existing ONGC gas fields through the GAIL gas pipeline network localised in the KG basin. Barely 40 per cent of the overall requirement for power and other sectors is being met currently.

Track cycling at the Olympic Games consists of five men's events and five women's events. Some of the events date all the way back to the 1908 Olympic Games, while others will be brand new in 2012.
Track Cycling Events Included at the 2012 Olympic Games
Keiren: Keiren was first included as an Olympic event at the 2000 Olympic Games, though the 2012 Olympic Games will mark the first keiren competition for women. In the event, seven cyclists line up for a mass start. After the cyclists begin, they follow a pace bike around the track at gradually increasing speeds. Shortly before the end of the race, the pace bike leaves the track and riders sprint to the finish. The first rider across the line is the winner. The events are contested in a knockout format, and only the best riders move on to the final round.
Omnium: Omnium will be contested for the first time at the 2012 Olympic Games among both men and women. The event features riders competing in six events, including a flying lap, points race, elimination, individual pursuit, scratch race and time trial.
The flying lap race covers 250 meters, while the points race covers 30 kilometers for men and 20 kilometers for women. The elimination race covers 48 laps, and the individual pursuit is four kilometers long for men and 3 kilometers long for women. The scratch race also has varying lengths among the genders, as men race for 15 kilometers and women for 10 kilometers. The scratch race is important because it helps to determine the seedings for the individual pursuit. Finally, the time trial race is one kilometer long for men and 500 meters long for women.
In each event, riders are awarded points. The rider to win each event receives one point, and the rider with the lowest number of points at the end of the six events wins the competition.
Sprint: The sprint event, sometimes called match sprint, pits two cyclists against one another on the track. The cyclists begin on opposite sides and ride for three laps in an effort to come up with the fastest time. The first round is a qualifying round in order to determine seeding, and the event then turns into a knock-out style tournament. The first rounds are single-elimination rounds, while the following rounds are best-of-three rounds.
Team Pursuit: In the team pursuit event, men's teams of four or women's teams of three chase each other around the track. Like in the sprint event, two teams begin on opposite sides of the track. In the men's race, athletes have four kilometers to try to catch the opposite team. The women are given three kilometers to try to achieve the same goal. The first team to catch the other is the winner of the round. If one team does not catch the other, the team with the fastest time is declared the winner.
As is the case with many of the track cycling events, the team pursuit event begins with a qualifying round in which teams ride by themselves in order to achieve a time for seeding. Then, the team pursuit event moves into knock out rounds to determine the winners.
Team Sprint: The team sprint event is made up of teams of three on the men's side and teams of two on the women's side. Likewise, the men compete over three laps around the track while the women ride twice around the track.
The team sprint race begins with a qualifying round in which the teams compete for tournament placing. In this round, each team competes individually and tries to come up with the fastest time. From there, the event progresses into a knock-out style tournament. As in the team pursuit race, two teams begin on the opposite sides of the track and ride as quickly as possible through the allotted number of laps.
