Students who borrow funds for their living expenses will receive periodic refunds by direct deposits to cover these expenses. Representative living expenses include food, housing, utilities, transportation, and personal expenses. Students have the obligation to budget funds appropriately so they are able to cover their expenses month to month. Some one-time expenses such as a laptop or medical equipment required at the beginning of a course of study are included in the first disbursement of the year. The objective is to insure that students have the funding for these major outlays as they occur and are not forced to use credit cards for these purchases.
Through our comprehensive "Sensible Strategies" program, the Office of Student Financial Services provides a variety of resources to assist students with important money management skills; these include budgeting, credit cards, managing your credit and money management for couples. We are committed to assisting students as they develop strong money management skills.
Direct deposit for financial aid refund checks is mandatory. Students requesting an exception to this mandatory requirement must submit a letter to the Director of Student Financial Services explaining the circumstances that make it impossible for funds to be electronically transmitted to the student's personal checking or savings account.
MWU will not be held responsible for any fees or charges that result due to checks written when a student had insufficient funds in his/her account. MWU is also not responsible for late charges on any past due bills a student may incur. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that the deposit has cleared prior to writing checks.
A direct deposit made in error must immediately be returned to MWU.

Siesta Key Village incompatible with noise ordinance
Date: March 8, 2013
by: Alex Mahadevan | News Editor
Sarasota County code-enforcement officer Kevin Burns gave Siesta Key Association members working on noise issues vindication March 7, when he revealed the results of a comprehensive sound study.
Blasé Cafe hasn't violated the county's noise ordinance, which regulates sound levels from property lines. Normally noise tapers off as sound waves travel away from a source.
But, a sound vortex, created by the environment and architecture of buildings on the south end of the Village, makes amplified sound to residents in the Terrace Condominium Complex as it is from the property line at Blasé Café, Burns explained.
As a short-term solution, Blasé Café staff will angle speakers toward the Gulf of Mexico.
A long-term solution will come as the county re-works the noise ordinance, which is set to expire in November.

Many can't make it to the SKA meetings and they rely upon news outlets for their info.
If the article is incorrect, it would behoove someone from the SKA or County staff to get wih the reporter and get the accurate information out to the public.

- The word vortex was not used at the meeting, the word vertex was. In describing the point where two buildings meet at a right angle the words "geometric vertex" were used.
Hope this helps clear things up.

- I would be curious to know who conducted this "comprehensive study" and their professional credentials. A vortex is a region of matter where the flow is mostly a spinning motion about an imaginary axis, straight or curved. Vortices are often formed by the winds surrounding hurricanes, tornadoes, dust devils and the wake of airplanes. I would like to know the source of the vortex that is causing the sound to remain just as loud when it reaches the condos as it is at the property line of the restaurant.
- 4.
- I hope someone at SKA and the County will at the least google , if not speak to an accredited expert, regarding this "sound vortex" theory before they go changing ordinances.. Especially since the term"sound vortex' is being incorrectly used inthis situation.

Biographical/Historical Note
John T. Harris (1823-1899) was perhaps one of the most prominent citizens of Rockingham County throughout the nineteenth century. The son of Nathan and Ann Harris, he was commonwealth's attorney for Rockingham County from 1852 to 1859, and in 1856 served as a Presidential elector for James Buchanan. Thereafter, he served in the United States Congress from 1859 until the outbreak of the Civil War. Despite his strong Unionist sentiments and his continual efforts to keep Virginia in the Union, Harris remained loyal to Virginia when she seceded in May 1861. During the war he served two terms in the Virginia General Assembly. Following the war John T. Harris was judge of the 12th judicial circuit, which included Rockingham County. In 1870 he was again elected to Congress and was continuously re-elected until 1880, after which he resumed his law practice in Harrisonburg. John T. Harris returned to politics in 1889 as a rival of P.W. McKinney for the Democratic nomination for the governorship. Later he was appointed by Governor McKinney as one of the representatives for Virginia to the World's Columbian Exposition in 1892. He died in Harrisonburg, October 14, 1899.
In addition to the Harris family letters, there are a large number of miscellaneous letters (3 Hollinger boxes) of the related Peyton Randolph Family. The Randolph family papers came into the Harris family when John T. Harris's son, John T. Harris, Jr. married Peyton Randolph's daughter, Mary Elizabeth Randolph. Born in Washington, D.C. in 1833, Peyton was the son of James Innes Randolph, a congressional clerk, and Susan Armistead Randolph. However, despite the numerous letters to him, little is known about Peyton Randolph. Prior to the Civil War he attended Columbian College (now George Washington University) and was an engineer on numerous railroad projects in Virginia, Indiana, and Alabama through the 1850's. He enlisted in the army in Mobile, Alabama at the outbreak of war and served as an engineer in Pickett's division, rising to the rank of major by 1865. Thereafter, even less is known of his life. He married Mary Fisher following the war, returned to the engineering profession, and died November 28, 1888.
Scope and Content
The John T. Harris Papers, 1771-1937 (bulk 1850-1900), consists of seven Hollinger boxes and two oversize folders (2.95 linear feet). [It is also available on microfilm; see Contents List.] Although the collection contains a large number of personal and political documents relevant to the life and career of John T. Harris, the bulk of the collection is comprised of letters of John T. Harris and his family, and of Peyton Randolph and his family. A small number of James Clarkson Papers are also present. The collection is arranged in five series: Letters, Personal and Family Papers, Political Papers, Miscellaneous and Oversize. Brief descriptions follow here. Notable items are listed under their appropriate folder in the Contents List.
Series I, Letters, 1831-1937, n.d, is arranged chronologically in four subseries:
The John T. Harris Letters, 1841-1899, consist of letters to Harris from his constituents requesting personal favors. Letters from 1860 to 1861 primarily address the issue of Virginia seceding from the Union. Echoing the sentiments of many residents of western Virginia, most of the letters express pro-Unionist feelings and encourage Harris to work for a compromise in Congress to avert violent conflict. Moreover, the contents of these letters, suggest that Harris worked with and may have been a close friend of Stephen A. Douglas. Also included is a letter dated May 24, 1871 to Harris from William Nelson Pendelton written on behalf of Henry Clay White of Rockbridge County requesting appointment to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. The letter is property of Carrier Library at James Madison University, and is not available on microfilm.
Harris Family Letters, 1831-1937, consist chiefly of letters among various members of the Harris family, and provide descriptions of family life. However, there are several letters to John T. Harris, Jr., from Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt.
The Peyton Randolph Letters, 1846-1884, consist of letters from several college friends and Peyton Randolph's immediate family. Notable among these are letters from college friend Henry Force. Force was the son of historian Peter Force and acted as surveyor on the Border Commission dispatched to study the newly acquired lands in present-day New Mexico and Arizona. In a series of letters to Peyton from 1848 to 1853, Force describes his encounters with Mexican soldiers and Apache Indians, as well as his duties on the trek from New Orleans to San Diego. Transcriptions are available for 8 of Force's letters, 1848-1851.
Randolph Family Letters, 1837-1928, include letters to Peyton and his sisters, Mollie, Nannie and Sue from their mother, Susan Armistead Randolph, correspondence between the siblings, as well as a few miscellaneous items of Peyton Randolph's including a book of psalms which he carried during the Civil War. The letters from Susan Armistead Randolph form the bulk of this subseries. In her weekly four-page letters Mrs. Randolph describes life in Washington, D.C. during the 1850's, including the inauguration of Franklin Pierce and the funeral of Henry Clay. Susan Randolph was acutely aware of the political climate of her era and took particular interest in the Know-Nothing party in the 1850's. In several letters she outlines the platform of the Know-Nothings and even urges Peyton to join the party. However, despite her vivid political commentaries and her proximity to the arena of the conflict, she does not mention the issue of slavery. In addition to her political and social sketches, she provides detailed accounts of family life, including rather grisly descriptions of the deaths of various family members. Her letters from Richmond during the war describe the changes in life in that city through the course of the war and include detailed examples of the rampant inflation of prices on common goods such as bacon and flour. Of particular interest are Mrs. Randolph's inquiries concerning her first cousin, General Lewis Armistead, who was said to be the first Confederate soldier to cross into Union lines during Pickett's Charge at the battle of Gettysburg. See Randolph Harris Moulton's Some Randolphs Around Civil War Times for transcriptions of some of the Peyton Randolph letters.
Series II, Personal and Family Papers, 1843-1936, n.d., is arranged topically and contains a variety of materials. General papers include John T. Harris' law license, an 1861 will, and his post-Civil War oath of allegiance to the U.S. [A certificate in which President Benjamin Harrison appoints Harris as Virginia's representative at the World's Columbian Exposition of 1892 is located in the oversize miscellaneous file.] Also in this series is a photocopy of his handwritten 1898 autobiography, which gives many particulars of his life, as well as a photocopy of his son John T. Harris, Jr.'s typed 1936 autobiography, which includes characterizations of the lawyers with which the younger Harris was acquainted. Genealogical notes and charts as well as newspaper clippings pertaining to the Harris family are also present.
Series III, Political Papers, 1856-1896, n.d., consists primarily of copies of John T. Harris' Congressional speeches as well as several made by other members of Congress. The most notable of these is the resignation speech of Preston B. "Bully" Brookes, who was censured by Congress for caning Charles Sumner in 1856. In addition, there are election returns from elections in which Harris was a candidate. These include reports from Rockingham County and localities throughout the Shenandoah Valley. A large number of political broadsides, handbills, and selected pages from newspapers regarding local and national elections, are housed in Series V, Oversize.
Series IV, Miscellaneous, 1771-1933, n.d., contains a variety of materials, including general miscellany and receipts, Civil War documents, indentures, James Clarkson Papers, photographs and undated material. Among the Civil War documents are requests for exemption from military service, requisition receipts from Confederate military authorities, contracts between individuals and their military substitutes, and requests to John T. Harris for release from Union prisoner-of-war camps. The James Clarkson Papers primarily are comprised of legal documents from Albemarle County. These documents were preserved by John T. Harris's wife, Virginia Harris, who was a descendant of James Clarkson. Among the photographs is a print of Peyton Randolph and his four brothers, a photographed portrait of James Innes, and photographs of John T. Harris' writing desk, a young Isabelle Heard, and an unidentified young girl. Undated material consists of any items in this series that may be undated, including print material, notes, memoranda, receipts, various lists, writings, and calling cards.
Series V, Oversize, 1821-1900, consists of two folders. One folder contains oversized items such as political broadsides, handbills, and selected pages from newspapers regarding local and national elections from Series III, Political Papers. The second folder contains oversized items from Series IV, Miscellaneous. Materials include a certificate signed by Benjamin Harrison appointing him as Virginia's representative at the World's Columbian Exposition of 1892; a land grant to Joel S. Graves signed by Governor Thomas M. Randolph; and a sheet dated March 11, 1861, signed by members of the provisional government of secession (Civil War) from South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Alabama.

Giving Hope to the Hopeless
Tina Dobson: Giving Hope to the Hopeless
Tina Dobson grew up in a world without hope, but she has come to know a life of endless possibilities. Occasionally, she has to pinch herself to make sure she is awake, to make sure it's all real.
Looking back, it's easy to understand why.
Her family was living in a trailer park in Mustang, Okla., when she came home from junior high one day and told her parents that she wanted to go to college, that she wanted to make something of herself. A teacher had noticed her potential and had encouraged her to think about higher education. While many parents would be thrilled to have a teenager thinking about college, Dobson's father reacted in a violent manner, threatened by his daughter's desire for a better life than his.
Dobson's father had only a fourth grade education, her mother only a sixth. The word "college" never had been mentioned in their home until she expressed an interest. Unfortunately, her father's angry reaction to the idea wasn't an anomaly.
"I came from a home where there was alcoholism and physical abuse. My parents didn't understand the importance of education because they weren't educated themselves. As far as I was concerned, my life was hopeless."
Dobson's situation at home progressively worsened. At age 15, she moved out to live with friends. Nonetheless, she graduated from high school, immediately began working in accounting and started attending classes at OSU-OKC. To make things more challenging, Dobson now was a single mother. She resolved, however, to keep moving forward.
"I was born with this drive to make something with my life, an inner strength. I had pride in what I did, and I wanted my life to be something that it wasn't," she said.
After marrying Stephen Dobson, she began accounting classes at Southwestern State University in Weatherford, Okla., all the while knowing that she wanted to do something to help others break out of the cycle of prejudice, poverty and abuse.
So, when the Dobsons moved to Edmond, she began classes at Central, but this time in psychology, with the idea of opening a home for young people experiencing hardships similar to those she experienced growing up.
After moving to Edmond, she also became close friends with two neighbors, Beverly Coon and Laura Mitchell, who like her, were mothers of young children. The close friendships, however, went to a new level when the trio attended "Live Your Best Life," a seminar hosted by Oprah Winfrey in Florida. The experience instantly motivated them to look at how they wanted to positively impact the lives of others.
Returning from the seminar, Dobson shared with her friends her dream of opening a group home for children with no family support. She also decided to switch her major from psychology to sociology — and Coon and Mitchell decided they, too, would get sociology degrees. Furthermore, they would work to help those less fortunate.
After all three started attending UCO classes, they became known in the Central community as the "Three Amigos," enjoying close friendships with classmates and professors.
"I know that UCO is a midsized university, but it has that small-college feel to it. I really enjoyed being a student at Central because the professors really care about the students," she said. "At the time, Beverly, Laura and I were all raising kids of our own, but we became 'The Moms' to the rest of our classmates as well. We were all like a big family."
The "Three Amigos" graduated with their bachelor's degrees in sociology in 2005. They then began working on master's degrees in social work from the University of Oklahoma, graduating in 2007.
While in graduate school, their idea of opening a home for young people experiencing serious hardships evolved into a different, very unique initiative — the University of Central Oklahoma Institute of Hope.
With Dobson's leadership and the UCO College of Liberal Arts' guidance, the institute was formed in 2006 through the University of Central Oklahoma Foundation with the support of Dobson and her friends. The institute's mission is to fight prejudice, poverty and abuse through educational programming and flexible student financial aid. It's specifically designed to offer aid to Central students struggling with distress in their personal lives, providing mid-semester emergency funding to help them stay in college.
Over the last four-and-a-half years, the Institute of Hope has provided more than $35,000 in assistance to nearly 50 Central students in need of emergency funding as well as some hope and encouragement. Dobson's dream has become a reality.
Giving hope to others has become a strong passion that Dobson feels blessed to share with Central.
"There was a time when I didn't think I would be able to succeed, that I would ever have the opportunity to go to college and be able to say that I am a college graduate," she said. "There are kids out there who are stuck in life, without hope for a better future. The Institute of Hope provides these kids with the opportunity to succeed and hope for a positive future."

Texas Store Owner Arrested For Killing Robber
By KRWG News And Partners
The owner of a South Texas convenience store has been arrested for murder after shooting a man attempting to steal beer from his shop.
Rodney James Duve was being held Sunday in the Nueces County jail with bond set at $35,000. Corpus Christi police say a 39-year-old man came into his store Saturday evening and took a 12-pack of beer before attempting to flee.
The 52-year-old Duve was arrested at the store. The robbery suspect, who has not been identified, was taken to a hospital where he died.
A police spokeswoman did not immediately return a phone message seeking additional information.

Bede BD-5J Micro-jet |
Registration: N505MR
Markings: From the James Bond film Octopussy, 1983
The BD-5 proved to be a challenge both to build and to fly. While many kits were sold they often proved to be beyond the abilities of most homebuilders to complete and even when finished the tiny aircraft require a very competent pilot to fly them safely. In 1973, Bede Aircraft introduced a jet-powered version the BD-5J. This aircraft still holds the record as the worlds smallest jet aircraft and is a popular air show performer. The BD-5J was made famous by its appearance in the James Bond film Octopussy. |

SACD and DVD Audio have had a tough time, in part, because of the critical speaker placement required for spatiality...Go check outthe Sherwood booth ar CES to see how one can put speakers where they like and have perfect spatial reproduction! Thanks to Trinnov.com!
Esoteric X-05 SACD/CD player
The X-05 also uses Esoteric's new lens tracking system, which mounts the laser-pickup assembly on a shaft to ensure that the laser optical axis is always centered on the the pit track. Esoteric credits this with a huge amount of the mechanical performance of the X-05.
The X-05's D/A converter incorporate Cirrus Logic's 24-bit / 192 kHz processing DAC device in a dual mono configuration. The analog audio output circuits are also dual mono for better channel separation.
We found the X-05 a fascinating example of how dedicated high-end manufacturers continue to perfect playback mechanisms for formats that the recording industry have essentially torpedoed. The turntable was more or less perfected long after the "death" of the LP—now it looks like companies like Esoteric are improving SACD playback at a time when the labels have abandoned it.
Perhaps that's the very essence of the High End.
Maybe the labels should not have abandoned SACD. Certainly audiophile labels haven't given up the ghost. But media guys like you talked it down in favor of DVD-audio which even with lossless behind it was not as good as SACD. That made a lot of people sit on the fence and not buy either.
I, for one, have been waiting for the introduction of this model. I was waiting for a unit with their famed VRDS and with DSD to analog conversion as opposed to DSD to PCM to analog like X-03 does, AND not in the 10K price range. (Hhew that was mouthful.) People mention that not all VRDS are equal, i.e. the VRDS in their higher model are superior. Or is it that their VRDS is evolving with newer models? Does anyone know?
If you want to buy some laptop betteries,you can see it from http://www.adapterlist.com/acer/as07b41.htm acer as07b41 Laptop Battery,It,s very cool.

Dr Romanelli x Real McCoys 'Beetle Bailey' Collection Preview
Today, Americana is a global trend, a catalyst and muse to variety artists who span both generations, and mediums. Darren Romanelli and Hitoshi Tsujimoto are uniquely individual explorers of Americana, each mining memory for creative inspiration - each of them archivists and artists combined.
The Real McCoys specializes in classic military clothing, remake experts and the company's collaboration with reconstruction specialist Dr Romanellu, seems to promise a harmonious and fruitful collaboration. Looking for a way to combine their formidable efforts, Tsujimoto and Romanelli happened upon one of the most successful American comic strips of all time, the story of a hapless war recruit and his circle of lovable quirky pals.
Mort Walker first debuted the unforgettable Beetle Bailey in newspapers in 1950. Now boasting a massive worldwide audience. His legendary character, the loose, lackadaisical and utterly likely Bailey, is quintessentially American, a hilariously insightful look at our innate distaste for authority -and our relentless pursuit of a good time. Beetle Bailey is now a classic anti-hero, who embodies two distinctly American qualities, resiliency and humor.
With the support of Mort Walker, Tsujimoto and Romanelli are taking Beetle Bailey in new directions, using the comic as inspiration for a new kind of resurrection and repurposing. They are creating a whimsical approach to Americana.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., (June 9, 2003) — The Acton Institute announced the recipients of the 2003 Homiletics Award, an annual competition for seminarians and graduate students preparing for a career in preaching and teaching ministries.
This year's homiletics competition included 57 entrants from more than 40 different colleges, seminaries, and universities. Contestants were asked to prepare and preach a sermon targeted toward a group of corporate executives at a weekend retreat. This year, participants preached a sermon based on Matthew 22:15-22. The biblical passage contains Christ's famous exhortation to "give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's."
In all, five recipients were selected:
This year's panel of Homiletics Award judges included Rev. Robert Sirico, co-founder and president of the Acton Institute; Dr. Harold O.J. Brown, Professor of Philosophy and Theology at Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte, N.C.; Rev. Duane Kelderman, vice-president of Calvin Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Mich.; Rev. Lawrence Smith, Associate Pastor, Jesus Christ Prince of Peace Catholic Church in Clinton, Iowa; and Rev. William Fitzgerald, O. Praem., Director of Liturgy and Assistant Professor of Pastoral Theology, Pontifical College Josephinum, Columbus, Ohio.

Here's a technique that's useful when you need to get off your boat in water shallow enough to wade ashore, yet also secure the boat so that a drop in water level won't leave it high and dry. Whether you call it a clothesline moor or an outhaul, it's slicker than mossy rocks. And it's easy to do, once you collect a few pieces of gear.
The clothesline needs two anchors to work — one on the beach and one in the water. The shore anchor can be in situ, like a boulder or tree. Lacking natural blessings, you can use a spike, sand screw, grapple hook or another boat anchor. It all depends upon your boat and the specific topography of the landing you've chosen. Do what you think is best, making sure your boat's firmly connected to terra firma.
The second anchor is your boat anchor, which you already have. Again, sizes and types vary with region, boat and preference. Whatever anchor you'd feel secure swinging to in the specific location is the one to use.
The two anchors are connected by a loop of line. (See where this is going?) So you'll need a length of line equal to twice the distance between your seaward and shoreward anchors.
Finally, you'll need some miscellaneous bits: a pair of galvanized rings or pulleys (aka blocks) and some shackles. First, shackle a ring or block to each anchor's chain, where you'd normally attach the rode. Note: In weedy waters, a ring is less likely to get jammed, though it's a bit harder to heave the boat in than it is with a line rove through blocks.
Step 1
Wade ashore and secure an anchor. Get back in your boat.
Step 2
Head out deep enough to drop the seaward anchor in a spot that will still carry your boat's draft at low tide. Reeve the line to its midpoint through the block or ring shackled to this anchor. Pay out the doubled line off the stern until the anchor is set, and cleat it off with one leg of the loop. Scope should be appropriate to the circumstance.
Step 3
Motor to shore, paying out the other leg of the line as you go. On the beach, reeve the line through the block or ring of this anchor; bring it back to the boat, and cleat it off at the bow.
Step 4
Heave on one end of the line to pull the boat out to the seaward anchor; heave on the other leg to bring it back in to the beach. Now dine ashore, hike in the woods or camp for the night without fear of returning to the boat and finding it high and dry.
As with any technique, the first time trying the outhaul or clothesline moor may be rough. After that, you'll nail it and adapt the process to best fit your specific circumstance. After all, most of us aren't long-range cruisers landing in vastly different terrain every week. But even if you are, the outhaul is a great technique to stow in your bag of tricks.

Earlham College, joining nearly 800 other institutions of higher education in the U.S., no longer requires students to submit standardized test scores (either SAT or ACT) with other materials in support of their application for admission. International students must continue to submit either the TOEFL or SAT results with their admission application.
Earlham has always taken a wholistic approach in its review of a student's application for admission, giving consideration to academic achievement, writing ability (the essay is very important), letters of recommendation and support from teachers and guidance counselors. Earlham also recognizes applicant commitments, accomplishments and contributions beyond the classroom. In determining academic ability and college readiness, the College has given particular weight to a student's performance in high school courses and the quality of their chosen academic program. Standardized test results have factored little in the overall evaluation of a student's ability to succeed in college and often do not accurately predict student success in college classes during the first year.
Under Earlham's test-optional policy, applicants can submit their scores and choose to have them considered or ask that the scores not be taken into account during review for admission. Students indicate their preference for use of test results on the Earlham section of the Common Application. Likewise test score results are not required by Earlham for review of admitted students for merit scholarships.

Thanks Marie, really appreciate that, as I've fallen in love with them too. I just activated Kiaros, but just before I did I switched over my air and water habitats for 2 Olympus habitats. Air and water would have pulled in only 40,000' however the two Olympus pulled in 420,000 instantly..it's not rocket science when it comes to strategy. I've just switched them back. Another great tip, when building habitats, make the most of kairos. I decided to store 1 earth habitat to build another blue moon, riding on the fact that I could speed up the process by 6 hours because of kairos.
On a personal note for you my friend, I sure hope you get that second diamond...55 fails is way too many. Come on wizard, where are you? My bud Marie needs a diamond dragon before it exists the market.

There are no moral victories especially after a team has led for a good portion of the game. However, when one considers the competition, Friday's games at Montgomery County might be considered a moral victory, at least for the Fillies. The Fillies started Friday's game against the Lady Indians by playing with the same control as they have the last few games. Coach Kim Furnish's squad controlled the tempo of the game and played some steady defense to take a 9 to 5 lead at the end of the first stanza.
Harrison County's 106-pound wrestler, freshman Michael Mattox, finished seventh in his weight class Friday and Saturday at the KHSAA State Championship Meet held at the Kentucky Horse Park. Mattox suffered a one-point loss in a decision on Friday night to Ansar Kurbanov of Louisville Iroquois to put him into the consolation bracket. He battled back Saturday winning three straight before losing to Dallas Ochsenbein of North Oldham in his fourth match of the day.
The last few Harrison County basketball games that I have watched and some games on television have brought me to this conclusion. The game is too difficult to officiate so let the players call their own fouls like we do in backyard and school ground games. Or at least we used to when we played backyard and school ground games before hand-held electronic devices. This would first eliminate the block/charge foul.
Track athletes continue improvement at Mason Co. Coaches Danny Simpson's and Robert Walker's Harrison County track runners traveled to Mason County for the third in the series of indoor track meets last Saturday. Junior Kassidy Cook ran the second fastest all-time Harrison County at the 55M distance as she covered the distance in 9.35 seconds. Cook finished third in the event. She also ran the 55M dash in 8.10, which is also the second fastest for a Fillie at that distance.
Harrison County senior Jordan Doram has been selected first team All-10th Region by the coaches of the 10th Region schools. She is joined on the first team by Sarah Futscher of Bishop Brossart, Erica Rogers of Montgomery County, Sandra Skinner of George Rogers Clark and Asia Sims of Bourbon County. Doram was the only Harrison County player listed on the three all region teams or the honorable mention list.
The final boy/girl home doubleheader Thursday night saw the Harrison County Thorobreds and Fillies matched up with their counterparts from Estill County High School. The boys played first on this night and set the stage for a Harrison County sweep. Junior guard D.J. Jenkins was the catalyst early as he sliced through the Engineers' defense for a couple of easy baskets in the final home game for the Harrison County seniors.
It's not too late to get started on your college education this semester at the Hilltop. Midterm classes begin March 17. Students have the opportunity to choose from a variety of offerings.

While Australia may lack the mega-convention centers found in the U.S., its meetings infrastructure rivals any country in terms of sophistication of equipment and services. Here's a roundup of its major cities and centers.
Sydney: Going for the Gold "The sole purpose of a convention center is to provide a platform for communication, and we are committed to ensuring our clients have the best possible technical support to achieve this aim," says Ton van Amerongen, general manager of the Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre. He was talking as workmen put the finishing touches to the Convention Centre South expansion in August.
Sydney, site of the 2000 Olympics, will have new hotels and venues to attract the most savvy of technology staffers. The center's new 1,000-seat auditorium has a communication system built into every seat, providing digital microphone, voting, and interactive capability between presenter and audience; the system also handles simultaneous interpretation.
Says van Amerongen, "Technology is changing so fast that we prefer to let the specialists bring in their equipment. What we have done is provide the infrastructure to support the technology. We have fiber-optic cable throughout the center, including the exhibition area." A bank of computer terminals at the entrance to the center provides constant Internet access for delegates.
The heartbeat of the center's communications is the Centre Video Production (CVP), which is equipped with digital editing suites and production facilities. The center also has access to sophisticated "smart card" registration systems.
Sweet Adelaide The Adelaide Convention Centre, built in 1988, has announced a major expansion that will add a three-level convention center and exhibition hall, nearly doubling its capacity by September 2001. Today, the center offers a plenary hall of 21,630 square feet, divisible into five halls, each with its own tiered seating, plus another 11 breakout rooms. The exhibition hall has 25,090 square feet of space.
Wired with a fiber-optic network that leads directly to Telecomm Australia, the facility has ISDN lines, routable anywhere in the center; and Category 5 cabling is available.
Adelaide is famous for its location near the Barossa Valley wine-growing district, and the center is on the landscaped banks of the Torrens River. The city's airport is scheduled for a complete upgrade by mid-2001.
Brisbane: Techies Welcome Located on the South Bank of the Bris-bane River, in Queensland, the country's northeastern state, the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre is among Australia's most modern convention centers. The Great Hall has seating for 4,000, and there are another 16 meetings rooms and 215,000 square feet of exhibition space.
It recently hosted Microsoft's 1999 Asia-Pacific technical education program, which enjoyed the center's upgrade to 45 Mbps (with 512K and ISDN uplinks) for Internet connections. It sports fiber-optic and Category 5 cabling behind every wall and under every floor. Fast Ethernet is standard.
And don't think the Brisbaners lack finesse. In fact, the center won the bid for the International Conference for Information Systems, coming in 2000, in part because it presented its bid over the Internet.
Cairns: Meeting Eden In Far North Queensland, Cairns now offers event planners the same level of technical expertise that is found in the Australian state capitals. The city recently won the bid for the International Herpes Virus Conference, which will attract upwards of 1,000 physicians (and guests) for a week in July 2002.
The location--a hop and a skip from the Great Barrier Reef and the rainforests of Far North Queensland--as well as the meeting facilities were the keys to his selection of Cairns Convention Centre, says organizer Dr. Tony Simmons, senior medical specialist at the Institute of Medical and Veterinary Sciences in Adelaide. "The center has the technical facilities we need as well as flexible space. Audiovisual facilities are top notch."
The center, known for its inviting space, has completed a major expansion. It has added exhibition and plenary hall space for up to 5,000 guests, just three years after opening.
Melbourne: Hosting an ISP "Whereas the U.S. meetings market is mostly concerned with domestic conferences, Australia has had to attract international meetings to its convention centers as they cannot be sustained by the relatively small domestic market," says Gary Grimmer, head of the Melbourne Convention & Marketing Bureau and former CEO of the Portland (Ore.) Convention Center. "The result has been the development of infrastructure and services to meet the needs of the most discriminating of international conference delegates."
One example: the Internet Service Providers Conference (ISPCON 99), a two-day event in April 1999. Sessions were held in two areas of the center's You Yangs Hall, each seating 200 people. The in-house technical services department looked after all requirements and supplied, installed, and operated a high-powered LCD projector, which was flown off truss in the ceiling to maximize seating capacity.
One banquet for 260 was themed "2000 Megabytes under the sea," with a creative underwater feel created by blue velvet drapes on the walls and ceiling vaults enhanced with blue neon tubes.

In the Atari age, programmers used to hide in-game secret messages (the term "Easter Egg" was coined then) to get some much-deserved credit for their work, which otherwise would have gone just to the manufacturer. It's actually a problem the entire industry still struggles with (how many times you hear "What a cool Capcom game!" instead of "What a cool game by Yoshiki Okamoto!"), and also one reason why former Atari employees left to found Activision. Xevious happens to have one of these easter eggs as well: right at the beginning of the game, go to the far right and fire your blaster to reveal the hidden message "NAMCO ORIGINAL program by EVEZOO". Doing the same trick in Super Xevious will bring on the screen "Special thanks for you by game designer EVEZOO".
In August 1985, Endoh left Namco to found his own company, Game's Studio. Since then he continued to work on Famicom, often in collaboration with Namco, developing successful titles like the Family Circuit racing series or updating his own classic Druaga franchise with Kai's Quest (FC), Tower of Druaga (PCE) and The Blue Crystal Rod (SFC). At Game's Studio Endoh designed Z Gundam Hot Scramble for Bandai, and recently he was involved with the GBC Devil Children spin-offs of Shin Megami Tensei. He was also producer for many Wizardry FC/SFC ports.
Xevious tells the story of the fight between humankind and the supercomputer GAMP, which controls the alien forces of planet Xevious. As the sci-fi cliche dictates, it turns out that the Xevious inhabitants are originally from earth, and GAMP (General Artificial Matrix Producer) is the product of an ancient civilization that prospered on earth an hundred thousands years ago. During this golden age, the "Gamps" were human clones used in heavy labor, until they rebelled to their own creators. In order to survive the upcoming Ice Age, they planned to leave earth and migrate in search of a new homeland. They finally selected seven planets which were likely suitable to human life.
Right before the departure, a group of humans rebelled to them and decided to stay on the earth anyway. It is from here that thousand years after the leaving of Gamps, the brave pilot Mu and his android companion Eve decided to travel to Xevious (literally "the fourth planet") to avoid glaciation. They will not receive a warm welcome from their ancestors, though: captured and imprisoned, they discover that Xevian are actually planning a massive comeback on the earth.
Fast forward to our days: all above the earth's surface, and near the ancient civilization remains, giant artifacts suddenly emerge from the soil and activate: they are SOL towers, buried underground and inactive for eons, now responding to GAMP's orders.
The invasion has begun: it is now that, with perfect timing, Mu, Eve and Mio Veetha, a Xevian who opposes to the Gamp's regime and freed our duo from prisoning, are back on the earth (space travel takes all this time, you see) on their Solvalou ship and ready to fight Gamp's army. Meanwhile, archaeologists Susan Meyer and Akira Sayaka discovered that the Nazca lines could be hiding an ancient weapon which may be used to counterattack Gamp's army.
Xevious is often remembered for the many landmarks it introduced to shooters and gaming in general. It was the first vertical scrolling shooter to have backgrounds graphics that weren't a simple starfield. The South American setting, a landscape that eventually opens up to the famous Peruvian Nazca lines, became a classic recurrence in shoot'em ups. The game consists of sixteen areas that play continuously, each separated by a thick forest zone. Xevious does never end (perhaps one its less modern aspects) and loops after the end of Area 16. However, since most of the landscapes are recycled, you'll probably begin to get a sense of deja vu well before reaching the sixteenth area; but, to the early Eighties' gamer, Xevious offered quite a show. Below your Solvalou, forests, rivers, plains took form. These environments actually played a part in the gameplay: you could figure out the pattern of a ground enemy by looking at which narrow path it would follow; destroy giant silos and other mysterious ground structures; not to mention the search for hidden towers and flags.
The bad guys in Xevious belong to two groups: air enemies and ground enemies. Your ship, the Solvalou, comes equipped with two weapons each assigned to a button: the Zapper for air enemies, and the Blaster, which lets you bomb the ground targets with the aid of a lock-on (another feature that created a subgenre by itself, paving the way for games like Twinbee, Layer Section and Soukyugurentai). The game features an impressive army of characters, as there are twenty six enemies whose unique behavior give a distinct personality. Some of them seem conceived to intentionally puzzle the player with unconventional patterns, like the floating mirror Bacura - they are immune to all your weapons, so you can only avoid them. Others were charming for their stunning animation, like the spinning Jara, or the Tarken, whose cockpit rotates while retreating. All these enemies, designed upon geometric shapes, are rendered in shades of gray decorated by pulsing red lights. They looked distinctly like something that could come from outer space. It would have been possible to render each enemy in a different and extravagant color (as in any post-Galaxian shooter), but the overall impact would have been far less striking.
You'll notice that, unlike Galaxian-type games, the air vehicles that attack the Solvalou in formation don't try to ram into you. Instead, they flee on the screen's sides (like the Toroid) or retreat after shooting (the Tarken). This was one of Endoh's ideas to make the game more realistic, as he thought no enemy soldier would behave so recklessly. The ground enemies generally are less of a threat. The Grobda tank (later the protagonist of its own arcade game, in which Endoh was again involved with) for once doesn't even shoot at you. However, it moves rather quickly, and the score changes accordingly to your ability to bomb it.
Some of these targets are motionless installations and can't harm you in any way, so they're there solely to be bombed and earn points. The Zolbak in particular is worth a mention. Also known as "Detector Dome", it's an installation that collects data for the GAMP army. In a fashion that would be later reprised by Compile Zanac series, Xevious is programmed to react to the player's behavior. If you're too proficient at killing a certain kind of enemy, the AI will send other kinds. Similarly, when your score increases, the waves of enemies intensify. Bombing a nearby Zolbak will reduce the enemy forces' aggressiveness for a while, making this otherwise harmless object a priority target for survival.
Another fine example of Xevious' well implemented difficulty setting is its sophisticated checkpoint system: if you get through more than 70% of an area and die, you'll start your new life from the next one, thus reducing frustration.
The massive enemy flying fortress Andor Genesis is considered one of the first bosses ever in the history of videogames. It announces its arrival by a rather creepy noise. Unlike any other air target, you will have to use your lock-on Blaster to destroy it: you can aim directly to the core or take out its other sensible spots, which is risky but rewards much more points. Or you can just avoid its bullets and wait for it to flee away, which is cowardly but effective. You will confront it four times before the game loops.
There are plenty of secrets hidden in Xevious. Sometimes your lock-on will turn red as if it were targeting an enemy, even if it seems like there's nothing on the surface below. This indicates the position of an hidden SOL tower: bomb the spot to reveal it. You'll gain 2000 points to raise it above the ground, and another 2000 points for destroying it. Not as puzzling as these ancient artifacts, but far more precious and rare, are the Special Flags (the very same flags from Namco's own Rally X). These are also hidden, only this time your lock-on won't blink when it passes over them. So either you learn their location by playing the game a lot (they are randomly disposed on a set terrain strip) or you're very lucky. Revealing one will add 1000 points to your score, and grabbing it will grant you an extra life or 10.000 points accordingly to the board's settings.
The importance of these little secrets can't be stressed enough in videogames. They're often the element that capture the player's attention, thus extending the game's life beyond the initial playthrough. It's certainly not a coincidence that one of the most celebrated vertical shooter in arcade's history, Raiden DX, borrows heavily from Xevious by reprising the same concept of hidden artifacts to increase score.

Xevious - Arcade, NES, Gameboy Advance, others (1983)
It would be extraneous to review here all the ports Xevious received on 8-bit home computers, as there are many. Suffice to say, not all of them could replicate the intricacy of the arcade. Some primitive versions even lack major features like the Andor Genesis.
An Atari port of Xevious was planned for both the 2600 and 5200: they were developed (and you can find ROMs out there), but never officially released. Finally a 7800 port was eventually marketed in 1987, and while it's a fine port for the system' standards, it came too late to compete with Namco's own excellent version for the Famicom. Released in 1984, it became a tremendous hit and platinum seller. The game was designed to fit the 4:3 tv screen, and as a result your lock-on is closer to Solvalou than before, which makes things somewhat trickier. Besides this, Namco, which handled the port themselves, really did an excellent job with it. Oddly enough, it was released again in 1990 for the Famicom-Disk. It is also available nowadays for Gameboy Advance, as part of the Famicom Mini / NES Classic series. Keep in mind, the GBA screen ratio is 16:9: despite the good conversion, you're still playing a vertical shooter on a screen which is much wider than tall.
Xevious can also be found on the Xevious 3D/G pack for the PSOne. Alternatively, Xevious can be found in Namco Museum Volume 2, which is also notable for the inclusion of Grobda. Although Namco released their Namco Museum series to a great variety of platforms, Xevious was not among the most rereleased games. For some reason you can unlock the original Xevious in Namco's Starfox Assault for Gamecube. Finally, Xevious is included in the Western version of PSP's Namco Museum Battle Collection, available to be played on the go in its vertical form. Admittedly, I've yet to see how much is comfortable to hold PSP like that.

Super Xevious: GAMP no Nazo - Famicom (1986)
"GAMP no Nazo" is quite original because, true to its name, you must solve riddles in each stage in order to progress. Unless you meet certain criteria (could be bombing all required targets, or finding a hidden spot in the clouds) the stage loops indefinitely, getting harder and harder in the process. The game also introduces some hard-to-catch power ups for the Solvalou, namely a rear shot, a shield, and a bigger lock-on. Unlike the prequel, stages succeed each other in a more traditional way. It also has some cinematic moments, like a speed section where the Solvalou flies slightly above ground and must avoid collisions, which is pretty cool.

I'm sure everyone reading is already familiar with the arcade game Xevious. Released by Namco in 1982, it became an instant hit, and in the following years it was ported on many 8-bit home systems. It was designed and programmed by Masanobu "EVEZOO" Endoh, who graduated from Chiba university in 1959. Joining Namco in April 1981, he became one of Japan's most respected game creators, later responsible for the equally successful Tower of Druaga, another Namco classic. He was one of the first programmers to take pride addressing himself as a "game designer".
Masanobu Endoh
Xevious was released in the arcades in 1983. Atari distributed it in the US, and it was the first game to be advertised by a TV commercial (Interestingly enough, Atari advertised it as: "Xevious, the arcade game you can't play at home"). However, the real success bloomed in Japan, when the game became a massive phenomenon. The game loops continuously but the score blocks at 9.999.990. Many players were able to reach this max score, and started competitions to see who could do it the fastest.
As a result of this huge popularity, Namco released Super Xevious in the arcades in 1984. It's basically an expert course for veteran players, with much harder enemy patterns and some new enemies. Bringing the total characters to thirty two, the new entries are, for the most part, human vehicles such as planes or helicopters that you must try to "rescue" for points, instead of shooting them. A couple of Galaxian aliens were added too.
A single screen overhead shooter game in which you control one of those little harmless tanks you had fun bombing in Xevious. You must fight other tanks in a set of arenas, trying to shoot the enemy as fast as you can and at the same time use the objects on screen to take cover from enemy's fire. It holds your interest mainly because of the wise use you have to do of your limited barrier shield.

In 1986, after Endoh's defection from Namco (he opposed the idea to give the game a sequel, as he felt it was unnecessary), the company created Super Xevious: GAMP no Nazo ("The Riddle of GAMP"). This is the first proper sequel to the original, released on Famicom. This game has earned a bad reputation - perhaps it was difficult to live up to the arcade with the Famicom, or perhaps it was because Gradius had become the most popular shooter meanwhile. Namco published it in a luxurious plastic box and golden cartridge, but the sales weren't on par with the original, and it was never released outside Japan.

Battery comparison S3 vs. Razr HD
I like my S3 plenty but I work in a building with poor Verizon signal, which means my phone tears though battery just trying to get signal. I have heard many people swear that Motorola phones get better service than other manufacturers in comparable situations.
What I would like to know is this, does anyone have a good comparison of the S3 vs. Razr HD batteries in poor coverage areas?
Does anyone think that I may be better off with the Razr in this situation?
I am sure that I would be happy with either phone really which is what I am struggling with.Thanked by: - 11-08-2012, 09:50 PM #2
Re: Battery comparison S3 vs. Razr HD
I had the S3 for a little over 1 week. In my office the S3 was always switching from 3G to LTE. I never lost signal but it switched a lot. I noticed one side of my desk was 3G the other was LTE. The battery life was horrible on my S3, not sur if that was the drain or not. Looking at the battery settings, cell standby was the number one killer.
My work phone is the razor m. It is 4G all the time never switches to 3G. The battery on this last up to three days depending on usage. The razor m phone has my corporate email as well and it dings non stop. I switched to the iPhone 5 when I returned the S3 and that also stays locked into LTE. No battery issues with that either.
Im returning my IPhone 5 tomorrow as well but not sure what Im getting. I care what my phone looks like, which is why Im not a fan of cases, so the razor HD and MAXX HD are out of the question for me. I know they work great but I dont care for the look and feel of the phone. - 11-09-2012, 12:50 AM Thread Author #3
Re: Battery comparison S3 vs. Razr HD
I don't know specific numbers but I know that I take my phone off at 7:45, use it at work to text and check mail. I will browse net and forums off and on. By the time I hit bed between 1 and 3 am, it will still be no less than 20 percent.

Re: Battery comparison S3 vs. Razr HD
Being that I had a MAXX for 3 months... and have had an S3 now for about 2... I can say with confidence that the MAXX had a much better radio.
Situations where the MAXX exceeded the S3...
Getting into an elevator at work and going up 3 flights without dropping signal. The S3 drops signal in nearly every elevator in my building and doesn't regain until the doors open back up.
Working in the basement at work my S3 goes in and out of service. My MAXX never lost signal in basement.
MAXX held onto 4G signal better. Maybe this is the radio... but it would maintain a 4G signal more consistently at my work than my S3 does.
But despite all this, I prefer my S3. The bigger, higher res screen. Unlockable boot loader. Better dev support. I miss the never worry EVER battery life of my MAXX and the radio quality... but I just am more satisfied with the asthetics and support for the S3. - 11-09-2012, 05:57 PM Thread Author #7

Frequently Asked Questions
We have compiled some of the typical questions asked by candidates about our Investment Banking Analyst Program.
What is involved in Investment Banking training?
What is the career path for an Investment Banking Analyst?
What can I expect on the job?
What skills will I develop?
If Baird does not recruit on my campus, how do I apply?
1. What is involved in Investment Banking training?
Analysts complete a formal training program that begins in early- to mid-July and lasts approximately three weeks. Analysts attend an accounting review course and receive extensive training in both financial modeling and business valuation. During the final week of training, they will work with peers and associates in small teams to prepare a full valuation on an M&A case study and present their findings to a team of senior bankers. In addition to the initial training program, Baird provides ongoing business-specific product training as well as development opportunities.

2. What is the career path for an Investment Banking Analyst?
Baird's Analyst Program is a two-year commitment. First-year analysts are hired directly into one of several sector teams that have broad coverage responsibilities for an array of industry sub-sectors. Most analysts are product generalists and will be exposed to an array of transactions, including sell-side M&A transactions, buy-side M&A transactions, IPOs, follow-on offerings and private placements.
Analysts spend the majority of their time working on transactions within their respective sector teams, but they may be cross-staffed to assignments in other sectors, depending on staffing needs and capacity. This structure exposes analysts to a variety of sub-sectors and, at the same time, allows analysts develop a better understanding of the unique factors that affect their respective industries.
Analysts may also be hired into one of two product groups. An analyst hired into a product group will become a member of the Financial Sponsor Coverage Team or the Equity Capital Markets Team. After the two-year commitment, analysts who consistently exceed expectations are invited to stay for a third year as senior analysts. Senior analysts who continue to exceed expectations may be promoted directly to associate or offered the opportunity to participate in the

3. What can I expect on the job?
Analysts work in small teams with a diverse group of junior- and senior-level bankers. This allows analysts to actively participate in every stage of the transaction, from initial client pitches to closing. As knowledge and skills increase, analysts are given greater responsibility. In addition to regular senior banker exposure, analysts frequently have the opportunity to work with the senior management of clients throughout projects.
Back to top
4. What skills will I develop?
Investment Banking provides you with solid analytical skills, a strong understanding of accounting, finance and business valuation, and exposure to a variety of industry sectors and transactions. As an analyst, you will build strong quantitative and qualitative analytical skills supported by an understanding of financial markets and business operations. You will also gain a better understanding of the factors that affect equity capital markets and will begin to understand how some of the leading middle-market private equity firms assess investment opportunities.

The New York Times sees nothing wrong with this. It even has gone so far as calling the Leavenworth military prison's newest inmate by his chosen name — Chelsea — and using the pronoun "she" on its editorial page.
