McFry was called from the bleachers to stand behind a lectern with a representative from the C-SPAN television network at an assembly that, unbeknownst to the teen, was called in his honor. Then, one by one, McFry's family -– his mom, dad, little brother -– filed in and hugged him in front of the entire student body.
The high school junior was recognized at the ceremony for being one of 75 winners in a national student documentary film competition with more than 1,000 entries. The competition and the assembly were hosted by the Washington, D.C.-based cable public affairs network C-SPAN, which is visiting each of the winners in a Campaign 2012 bus.
"It's crazy to think that somebody from a place that's so small can get such big recognition," McFry said.
The teenager has been making short videos since a third-grade class project. Last year he purchased a business license and began his own production company, McDorky Productions. Some day he hopes to make Hollywood feature films to rival those of Steven Spielberg.
"It's my dream," McFry said.
The film that won him recognition by C-SPAN was a short documentary on about intellectual property rights and the First Amendment. It detailed a stalled bill, the Stop Online Piracy Act, which was debated by federal legislators last year and which became the center of widespread protest online.
It's not the kind of work the teenager hopes to do as an adult, but McFry said he learned a lot from the experience. He was also awarded $250 for the project by C-SPAN. That money, he said, will go toward lighting or other equipment that can be used during future projects.
"The different points of view made me stop and think," McFry said of the SOPA legislation.
Doug Hemmig with C-SPAN said each of the video entries for the competition had to illustrate a provision of the Constitution. The video couldn't last more than eight minutes and it had to include multiple points of view and a clip of C-SPAN footage.
"He incorporated the three elements into his entry seamlessly and that's why he was a winner," Hemmig said.
Because of the TV network's visit, McFry's peers were able to tour the media education bus, which was marked with bold lettering on the outside. Inside, it contained more than 12 flat-screen monitors, some of which had touch-screen capabilities.
McFry and his family received a personal tour of the bus before the rest of the students had a chance to step on board. The teen said in front of Hemmig that he'd like to have the bus for Christmas.
"I don't know if you can get the bus but you can probably get a job with us in a few years," Hemmig said.

Cowon retires iAudio X5 MP3 player; X7 set for summer debut
Portable media player company Cowon has announced that they will be discontinuing their popular iAudio X5 MP3 player and soon replacing it with a new player called the X5.
MP3 player manufacturer Cowon has announced that their iAudio X5 MP3 player will soon be discontinued. To fill the void, reports claim that Cowon will release an iAudio X7 model sometime this summer. The X5 has enjoyed a loyal following since it debuted in 2005, due partly to its excellent sound quality. There's no word on exactly what the X7 has in store. Plenty of rumors abound and even a suspicious mock-up has surfaced.
Here's what we do know. Cowon's latest D2 MP3 player uses a touch screen. Cowon's upcoming Q5 uses a touch screen. The Apple iPhone uses a touch screen. Will the X7 use a touch screen? Odds are pretty good.
Whatever it looks like, hopefully Cowon will keep with its tradition of creating MP3 players with outstanding sound quality and give the X5 fans something to cheer about.

Grilled lamb, orange & mint bulgur salad and flat bread
Grilling lamb smells and tastes fantastic, especially paired with homemade flatbreads and a refreshing bulgur (cracked wheat) salad. Take a bit of time to prepare the flatbread: once the dough is done you can shape into any size you fancy, cook it and then warm it up on the grill when you're ready to eat. Either wrap the lamb and salad into it before eating or use the bread to scoop up the ingredients. These flavours always cry out for thick Greek-style yoghurt and a small spoonful of rich tahini to balance the meal.
(You can click on ingredients to see more related recipes)
450 g | Strong flour |
1 sachet | Active dried yeast, (7g) |
½ tsp | Caster sugar |
1 tsp | Salt |
2 tbsp | Extra virgin olive oil |
500 g | Lamb fillet |
3 cloves | Garlic, finely sliced |
1 tbsp | Fresh ginger, grated |
1 | Lemon, zested and juiced |
1 tbsp | Olive oil, plus extra for grilling |
2 tsp | Chilli, finely chopped |
2 tsp | Brown sugar |
2 tsp | Salt |
Bulgur salad
1. To make the flatbread; sift the flour into a bowl. Add the yeast, sugar, salt and olive oil with 1 cup of warm water. Stir, then mix together with your hands. Tip on to a floured surface and knead for five minutes or until smooth and elastic.
2. Preheat the oven to 200C. Divide the dough into four and roll out to 30cm long ovals. Place on an oiled baking tray and bake for five minutes. Turn over and repeat. Set aside, warming on a grill plate just before serving.
3. To prepare the lamb; marinate the lamb in the ingredients - this can be done two days in advance or two hours - depending on time available and how strong you wish the flavours to be. Heat the grill or barbecue and cook the lamb for about five minutes on each side depending on the thickness. Let rest for five minutes.
4. For the salad; put the bulgur into a large bowl and cover with cold water. Leave for 30 minutes or until the water has been absorbed. Pour into a sieve and press down to extract any excess water. Tip the bulgur back into the empty bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Mix well.
5. Cut the lamb into bite-sized pieces and serve on the flatbreads with the salad, tahini and yoghurt to serve.

*Subject to the provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act.
The Community Reinvestment Act is intended to encourage depository institutions to help meet the credit needs of the communities in which they operate, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. It was enacted by the Congress in 1977 (12 U.S.C. 2901) and is implemented by Regulation BB (12 CFR 228). The regulation was revised in May 1995.
The CRA requires that each depository institution's record in helping meet the credit needs of its entire community be evaluated periodically. That record is taken into account in considering an institution's application for deposit facilities.
A copy of an institution's CRA evaluation may be obtained directly from the institution or Reserve Bank.
Federal bank regulators use the following performance levels to rate an institution's performance under CRA:
O = Outstanding
S = Satisfactory
NI = Needs to improve
SN = Substantial noncompliance

Overall in 2011 while starting 11 games (all but Colorado), he tied for the team lead in tackles with 81, including 2 sacks, plus he had 2 deflections, 2 interceptions and a forced fumble.

He was the Defensive Freshman of the Year on the 2011 CollegeFootballNews.com Freshman All-American first team and made the 2011 Football Writers, Sporting News, CBSSports.com, YahooSports.com, FoxSportsNext.com and Phil Steele Freshman All-American first team.

He had 7 tackles against Utah, then a team-best 9 tackles (with a sack) and a fumble recovery against Syracuse, a game-high 10 tackles (with a sack) and added a deflection at Arizona State, a game-high and career-best 14 tackles (the most by a USC freshman since Chris Claiborne's 20 in 1996 against Arizona State) and 1 deflection against Arizona and a team-best 8 tackles and 2 interceptions (the first in the endzone at the end of the first half to keep Cal scoreless as it was driving and the second late in the game to set up a USC TD) at California to earn College Football Performance Awards National Linebacker of the Week honors. He added 6 stops at Notre Dame, then a game-high 13 tackles against Stanford before suffering a concussion. After missing the Colorado game, he had 2 tackles against Washington, 7 tackles at Oregon and 5 tackles against UCLA.

Remember Dumb and Dumberer? Nope? Good. Wipe any membranes of that feeble film attempt to match one of the greatest comedies of all time and prepare yourself for the most annoying sound in the world. While the prequel to 1994′s Oscar-robbed comedy Dumb and Dumber failed to make any dent in the movie world, the cinematic masterpiece is finally getting the sequel it deserves with the real Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne, played by the perfect duo of Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, dusting off their one-person Moped and reviving their roles as everyone's favourite golden-hearted idiots.
Dumb and Dumber director Jeff Farley will be taking the reigns once again behind the camera, confirming that both Carrey and Daniels have signed on for the sequel, which begins shooting in September. Farrely explained to ComingSoon.net that Dumb and Dumberer, which did not feature the original cast, failed to launch with fans because "We did not do 'Dumb and Dumberer'. That was a studio thing. So we've always wanted to do a sequel and finally Jim called up. Jeff always wanted to do it. We always wanted to do it. Jim was busy, but he called and said, 'We've got to do this thing again'."
This is the greatest news that has ever been newsed on a Monday. Big gulps for everyone!

Le Fanu's legendary story of a female vampire was a major influence on Stoker's "Dracula," and was first adapted to the screen by Carl Theodor Dryer as "Vampyr" in 1922. Hammer Productions, having pretty much exhausted the "Dracula" franchise by 1970, turned a corner with this film by introducing a superior script and production values, new elements of eroticism, and of course the angle of the principle vampire being a ravishing female.
Red studio wrappers, with a die-cut window to the title on the title page. Title page present, with a date of December 15, 1969, a holograph notation of copy No. 18, and a credit for screenwriter Gates. A "rainbow" copy, 120 leaves, mechanically reproduced, with blue, pink, and yellow revision pages throughout, dated variously between January 9, 1970 and February 3, 1970. Pages Near Fine, wrappers Very Good plus with some brief fraying to the left edge of the front wrapper, bound with two gold brads. In a custom quarter-leather clamshell box.

Posted over 6 years ago C'mon we all have them. Funny first day conversations are my favorite types of co0nversations. On my first day as a CNA I spilled a patients bed pan (full of you know what) all over the hallway floor. How embarrassing!! What's your story? |

| Posted over 6 years ago My first day at my current job, a very sweet-looking 94 year-old lady was sitting in the hallway, and as I walked by she said that I reminded her of her daughter. I said, "Oh, really?" She said "Oh, yes dear. That b**** stole my money and sent me into this place to die. Then she ran off with some deadbeat who left her, and she expects ME to help her with money for those bratty little kids of hers... You do remind me of her, but that's okay dear. I'm sure you're a fine young lady." I was so shocked, I was speechless. I didn't know what to say, so I just walked away, the whole time wondering what I had gotten myself into... |

| Posted over 6 years ago This story is about my groups first day in the Med-Surg unit while in school. We were nervous and had no idea what to expect. Our clinical instructor came over and assigned all of us to patients. My friend received a patient that needed blood. Our instructor told the student that she was going to have to give it to her. All of a sudden my friend was pale and her eyes were watery. She looked at our instructor and said she didn't know that students had to do things like that. She thought she was going to have to give her own blood to the patient. It was a good lunch conversation piece later that day. |

In the new movie The Dictator, he plays for laughs. In real life, the actor likes his literature serious and thought-provoking.
"This novel about the ravages of war is based on the idea of tribalism, the hatred and deep mistrust of the Other," Ben Kingsley says. At the end of a great war, a stranger appears in a European village and begins sketching the townspeople. But instead of being flattered, the villagers turn suspicious, then hostile, then violent—and end up killing the man. Brodeck is the minor bureaucrat called upon to write a report that exonerates them. "It's a book that deals with the brutalizing effects of war," says Kingsley. "Didn't somebody say that those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it?"

Re: how to create music playlist? (alternative from the default player)
I find it more congenial to create playlist on my desktop with more screen real-estate. If you get a nice desktop player app you can select by artist, genre, etc and some players will pick for you based on histories. Save your list and xfer to the N7. Most standard playlist formats are readable by other apps.
Re: how to create music playlist? (alternative from the default player)
If you use Windows Media Player or iTunes, the Google Play Music Upload automatically uploads all your playlists so they are ready to go.
Awesome work by Google with that Music upload program. Had my full library and playlists uploaded from iTunes within an hour or 2. Moving over from iOS was seamless. - 01-16-2013, 02:01 AM #5
Re: how to create music playlist? (alternative from the default player)
If you select a song in Google Play Music on your Nexus 7, there is an option for "Play instant mix." This will automatically choose a number of songs similar to the one you selected and make it into a playlist. If you like the playlist, you can hit the menu button in the upper right, select "Save queue," and it'll ask you to name your new playlist.
Another simple way is to give a Thumbs Up to any songs that you like. These songs will automatically added to the Thumbs Up playlist.

After six weeks of marathon hockey, the stage is finally set for a Stanley Cup Final between the game's marquee player and the game's marquee franchise. At one end of the ice, it's arguably the NHL's best-run club in the Detroit Red Wings. At the other end, it's a young and fiery Pittsburgh Penguins club led by Sidney Crosby.
And though both teams share the moniker as the NHL's cream of the crop, their paths to glory have been very different.
In Pittsburgh, the Penguins were slowly and painstakingly built up from scratch.
One year after Mario Lemieux's heralded 2001 return and a berth in the Eastern Conference final, the cash-strapped Penguins jettisoned superstar Jaromir Jagr and began a long tailspin that saw the team miss the playoffs for three straight seasons.
As with any series of losing campaigns in sports, the team's on-ice struggles paid off handsomely with a string of high draft picks. From 2001 to 2006, the Penguins loaded up with heralded prospects Ryan Whitney, (fifth overall in 2002) Marc-Andre Fleury (first overall in 2003), Evgeni Malkin (second overall in 2004), Crosby (first overall in 2005) and Jordan Staal (second overall in 2006).
"You had a time in the league when there was a constant stream of very talented players coming in at one time," says NHL on TSN analyst Pierre McGuire, who won a Cup with the Penguins as an assistant coach in 1992.
"That was good fortune for the Penguins - they didn't get stuck with a Patrik Stefan with the first pick like Atlanta from 1999. They were picking early with really good players and didn't misfire."
Pittsburgh's success at the draft table has often drawn comparisons to early picks that the Quebec Nordiques enjoyed in the late 1980's and early 1990's when their first-overall picks included Mats Sundin, Owen Nolan and Eric Lindros. While none of Quebec's three blue-chippers were on the Stanley Cup-winning lineup for the Colorado Avalanche in 1996, each of them was traded for important components that contributed to that championship.
That's the big difference between them and this year's Pittsburgh Penguins, who have all of their home-grown stars making big contributions en route to the final. Staal, who struggled offensively in his sophomore season, picked up his play in the playoffs at both ends of the ice. Whitney shares the team lead in postseason plus-minus and is second among defencemen in that category going into the Final. Malkin finished second in league scoring in the regular season and practically ran the offence in a handful of postseason games, while Fleury is getting Conn Smythe Trophy consideration with a playoff-leading 1.70 goals-against average and .930 save percentage.
"The biggest thing that stabilized Pittsburgh was (general manager) Ray Shero keeping those young guys in the NHL," McGuire said. "Everybody wanted (Sergei) Gonchar gone and Ray kept him to allow Malkin to have an easier transition into the NHL. They signed Petr Sykora, who played with Malkin in Magnitogorsk. They also brought in Gilles Meloche in as a goalie coach to work with Marc-Andre Fleury. Shero never panicked, and built around the assets he had."
And the biggest asset of all is Crosby, a young phenom who raised plenty of eyebrows after being given the captain's 'C' just two seasons ago. No one should be questioning that decision now, as Sid The Kid has grown up quickly with 21 points in 14 playoff games this spring.
"They got Crosby winning the 'ping-pong ball' lottery," said McGuire. "The team that won the second pick was Anaheim. Could you imagine the Ducks if they got the right ball? I don't think Pittsburgh's where they are today if they didn't win the lottery. They would have picked Bobby Ryan or Jack Johnson, and with all due respect, they're not Sidney Crosby."
By contrast, the Red Wings have been the toast of the NHL for well over a decade. With three Stanley Cups in four tries from 1995 to 2002, they (along with the New Jersey Devils) are as close as you can get to a modern-day hockey dynasty.
And Detroit's success story certainly doesn't stop at championships. Years of success near the top of the NHL standings translate into lower draft picks, but the Red Wings have succeeded in helping de-bunk the myth that a team needs high slam-dunk selections to build a winning foundation.
"Detroit didn't have much of a choice," says McGuire. "You go back to when Kenny Holland was just a scout with the team, traveling all over the world and finding players."
With hindsight being 20/20 in draft analysis, fans and pundits always seem to focus on who wasn't taken at a certain position. In Detroit's case, it should be who was taken.
Over the last 10 seasons the Wings have only had four first-round choices, and none of them were higher than 19th overall. Only one of them - hard-hitting defenceman Niklas Kronwall who went 29th overall in 2000 - panned out.
The real strength of the Red Wings' drafts has been the latter rounds, with Pavel Datsyuk (171st overall in 1998), Henrik Zetterberg (210th overall in 1999), Tomas Kopecky (38th overall in 2000), Jiri Hudler (58th overall in 2002), Valtteri Filppula (95th overall in 2002), Derek Meech (229th overall in 2002) and Johan Franzen (97th overall in 2004) in their 2007-08 lineup.
"(European scout) Hakan Andersson deserves a lot of credit for that," explained McGuire.
Going back a bit further, 'carry-overs' Chris Osgood (54th overall in 1991), Tomas Holmstrom (257th overall in 1994), Darren McCarty (46th overall in 1992) and captain Nicklas Lidstrom (53rd overall in 1989) were instrumental in leading the Wings to their last three Stanley Cups.
"You can go down the line and see all the things they were able to do internally," added McGuire. "Ken Holland had the scouting down and Scotty Bowman had the team-building down so they always identified positions of need. They never had to rush players into their system - that's why their later round picks were able to play well once they came into the league. And they didn't have to develop too long in the AHL because they had such a great supporting cast."
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

Regarding Query: http://linguistlist.org/issues/18/18-531.html#1
I would like to thank everyone who answered this query – I received many helpful answers. These are the tests that have been recommended by various people: 1) DIALANG test has been developed by the EU as a diagnostic tool in various languages. It has 5 different tests (listening, reading, writing, structures, vocabulary) and covers wide range of proficiency (and languages). This is a free software, downloadable from: http://www.dialang.org/english/index.htm. A book in which DIALANG is presented: Alderson, J C ''Diagnosing foreign language proficiency'' (2005, Continuum). Recommended by Laurence White (Univ. of Reading), Armina Janyan (New Bulgarian University), Pia Sundqvist (Karlstad University) 2) The FCE (First Certificate of English), CAE (Certificate of Advanced English) and CPE (Certificate of Proficiency in English).They are all University of Cambridge exams and are usually seen as being more comprehensive than the Michigan tests. They are arranged in 5 levels. The FCE is the high-intermediate test, CAE advanced, and CPE near-native. http://www.cambridgeesol.org/exams/index.htm Recommended by Elisa Mattos, Rosemarie Connolly (Indiana University) 3) TOAL, the Test of Adolescent and Adult Language. http://ags.pearsonassessments.com/group.asp?nGroupInfoID=a19060. Recommended by Sylvia L. Reed (Univ. of Arizona) 4) The BYU WebCape ESL Test http://www.softstudy.com/products/CAPE.cfm is adaptive, online, and usually takes between 10 and 20 minutes. Recommended by Amanda Boomershine, Ph.D (Univ. of North Carolina Wilmington) 2. The BEST test of literacy. (http://www.cal.org/topics/ta/bestliteracy.html). Recommended by Amanda Boomershine, Ph.D (Univ. of North Carolina Wilmington), Tara Gibbs (Univ. of Minnesota) 6) Oxford Placement Test has 2 parts (written & listening). It's done in British English. Recommended by Renita Silva (Univ. of Essex) 7) Schema-based cloze multiple choice item tests developed by Ebrahim Khodadady (PhD). It measures language proficiency as an integrative ability. The test does, however, have some items on grammar, though the majority are based on the lexical items used in the reading passage upon which they are constructed. The test is available for everyone. You can find it in the appendix of this paper: Khodadady, E., & Herriman, M. (2000). Schemata Theory and Selected Response Item Tests: From Theory to Practice. In A. J. Kunnan (Ed.), Fairness and validation on language assessment (pp. 201-222). Cambridge: CUP. Recommended by Ebrahim Khodadady, PhD (Welland Heritage Council and Multicultural Center) 8) CELSA, Combined English Language Skills Assessment. It has a four-choice multiple choice cloze format. It measures language skills, primarily reading and grammar in a context and takes 15-45 minutes to complete, depending on proficiency. It breaks participants into seven levels of proficiency. http://www.cappassoc.com/actt/actt.htm Recommended by Andrea Dallas (Univ. of Florida) 9) Cruz-Ferreira, M. (1989). A test for non-native comprehension of intonation in English. International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching 27(1): 23-39. The paper presents a general test of intonational comprehension of English that can be used by learners of any native language. The test consists of several sentences of English spoken with particular intonation patterns of tonality, tonicity and tone, conveying general or local meanings in English. Three alternative interpretations are provided for each sentence, the learner having to match each sentence with only one of the interpretations. It is proposed that the test may be enlarged and/or modified so as to be applicable in diagnosing and predicting difficulties with the intonation of any L2, as well as providing insight into particulars and universals of intonation. Recommended by Madalena Cruz-Ferreira (National University of Singapore) 10) ACTFL OPI - oral language proficiency exam. Recommended by Tara Gibbs (Univ. of Minnesota) 11) The MILAP which you may be able to get more cheaply for research purposes. Recommended by Tara Gibbs (Univ. of Minnesota) |

High-performance amps featuring a 5-speaker stereo design, Bluetooth® streaming, iOS app and cloud connection. + Learn More
Posted 17 October 2013 - 02:11 AM
Don't mean to sound like a jerk, but I'd like to see the high gain amps (sans the SLO models) reworked for enhanced realism. The SLO, as another poster stated, does sound and seems to react in a more amp-like fashion. The other high gain amps (especially my beloved F-Ball ) should really be brought up to snuff.
As for new amp models, I'd like the lead channel from the ENGL Savage 120.

Hey guys im new here but i've been loving my new hd desktop so much i decided to sign up on the forums. Managed to combine the dual rec and the uberschall together to get this NASTY high gain rhythm tone. Here's my amp selections that havent already been mentioned:
Cornford RK-100

I agree with that. 15K per year as a cap for undergrad or as was pointed out... the average of a public school in that area.
I couldn't imagine having debt of over say 60K for a degree unless it was for law, medicine etc.
Even accounting from a top school, these kids are getting jobs for 80K right out of college , I still would never borrow that much.

text: The problem is that I can't stand Chivas Guadalajara, so I can no way support the USA version. I do agree though, Chivas USA has a really good team. The more I think about the Galaxy, the more dissappointed I get that they have decided to bring in one marketable player and not build around the current squad. This version of Galaxy has no ****ing forward!!! NONE.
