Student Spotlight: Chris Hall
Chris Hall
Major: Electro-Mechanical
Hometown: Elmwood Park
Chris Hall, who has been involved with manufacturing and metal forming, is now adding automation to his skills set.
"Robotic automation is a big key to operating efficiently and keeping jobs here in the U.S.," he said. "Employees working with and the operators of robots are finding new interest in their work and feeling valuable as they receive training for the operation, programming and servicing of robots."
When he toured College of DuPage prior to enrolling, Hall was more than impressed by the equipment in the labs.
"Most of what I have seen elsewhere is out-of-date," he said. "For students to get a good grasp and understanding of technology, electronics and automation prior to going into the field, COD is bar none the best place to start. I took a robotics class and was immediately in love with the modern equipment. Most robot trainers are extremely old, worn and not realistic to the real world. The Fanuc robots at COD are very much the real deal. I now work with identical models at various companies on a regular basis."
Hall also was impressed with the support from faculty and staff.
"COD actually took my career goals and tossed them out the window -- in a good way," he said. "The instructors and coordinators at COD opened my eyes to far more than I could see on my own. They helped me find the best job I have ever had with the best company I have worked for."
In 2012, Hall finished his first complete robot cell with automation.
"It has been a great project to put together, including a vision system and robot transport unit tied to multiple machines and conveyors," he said.
While Hall works on his final classes for his Associate in Applied Science in Electro-Mechanical Engineering at COD, he's already employed as a robotic systems engineer with Ellison Technologies Automation.
"As I continue to train with them, I have been traveling all over to various companies to work with robots," he said. "I have been able to see and be a part of how some of the greatest things we depend on every day are produced. Some of the work is programming, preventative maintenance and electrical.
"I never thought I would be able to to do things I am doing fresh out of school, especially in today's economy. I am less stressed. I actually love going to work. I feel my future and the future of my family is far more secure than ever before."
Hall hopes to become more involved in the actual design of robotic automation and electrical design. For now, he simply enjoys working with robots to improve processes and make someone's job physically easier.
He hopes others aren't afraid to dream big with their careers.
"Don't limit yourself. Take steps forward, but don't worry about the end of the road," he said. "The faculty at COD have been some the best coaches and mentors I've had the opportunity to learn from."

Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy...they all come out in this 3D animation where monsters who have to get away from humans and the horrors of modern life head to Hotel Transylvania.
Dracula (voiced by Adam Sandler) is the head of the house at Hotel Transylvania. And when his daughter Mavis (voiced by Selena Gomez) longs for the human world, problems arise, causing quite a scare for the hotel guests.
There are more than a dozen celebrity voiceover characters here which does add to the mainly slapstick animation consisting of supernatural chase scenes and jokes involving excrement, ectoplasmic goo, rear ends and breaking wind. The film is a perfectly Halloween-themed movie for kids, but leaves very little for the adults.
It's a fun film but the 3D really isn't necessary, and the storyline, as you might expect, is predictable. The funny gags and lovable characters help make this film, so the Flick-O-Meter gives Hotel Transylvania a three out of five. It's good enough for the trick-or-treat crowd but it certainly could have used a bit more bite and a lot less gas.
Hey, join the conversation. Head to my Facebook fanpage; it's called TheBrettSide, and click Like.

Exclusive: "You Will Never See Me Rapping Or Trying To Put Out A Hip-Hop Album"
Friday, Nov 11, 2011 12:00PM
With Wu-Tang Clan's RZA adding another acting credit to his resume with his A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas cameo, SOHH reached out to actress Paula Garces for her reaction to the rapper-turned-actor's performance.
Proud of her hip-hop roots, Garces said she always co-signs artists who take on the challenge of acting.
"I am a hip-hop fan. I grew up in New York, East Harlem. So how can I not be a hip-hop fan? [laughs]," Garces told SOHH. "I'm just very proud. I'm very proud of hip-hop artists as a whole. Anybody who really is on their grind and try to explore other things, not only their musical talents but being a singer first and then trying to cross over to acting. I never hate on that. I always love the fact that people try to explore other avenues and I give them much props becaues there's no way I could ever be a hip-hop artist. [laughs] You will never see me rapping or trying to put out a hip-hop album. So again, much props to RZA because I think he did a great job." (SOHH)
Earlier this month, Harold & Kumar star John Cho talked about RZA's acting prowess.
"I'm a fan, yeah. And, by the way, I have some advice for you: If you ever get the chance to, spend a night with RZA. It will change your outlook on life. He's a very interesting and deep thinker, and that's one of my best memories from set-- just sitting with RZA and listening to him talk. We just talked about random stuff, likeChristmas and his childhood. He's one of the most thoughtful guys I've ever met. A very complex, poetic individual." (Complex)
Film producer Eli Roth recently shed light on RZA's upcoming Man With The Iron Fists kung-fu flick.
"It's really fun. I wrote it with RZA from Wu-Tang. It's going to be insane. We wrote it together and RZA directed it; he stars in it with Russell Crowe. And one of the producers, the guy I didLast Exorcism with, we're editing it right now. So it's really fun," he explains. "RZA did an amazing job, it's like he's had this movie in his head since he was a kid and it all came out. It's totally insane and I think action fans, Wu fans, and fans in general are going to love it," he adds. (RumorFix)
The Wu member landed a role on Showtime hit television series, "Californication," a few months ago.
The Showtime comedy has tapped Grammy winning hip-hop pioneer, Wu-Tang Clan leader and occasional actor Robert Fitzgerald Diggs (a.k.a. The RZA) to join the cast in a major recurring role. Diggs -- whose acting resume includes roles in Ghost Dog, Due Date and Repo Man -- will play a slightly dangerous hip-hop mogul who Hank (David Duchovny) considers writing a movie for. The tentative name of Diggs' character is Apocalypse. (TV Line)

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has failed to grab a touchdown pass for a third consecutive game, as Kevin Kolb found two different wide receivers for scores on Sunday. Fitzgerald finished the game with four receptions for 78 yards. He had 10 targets, but he and Kolb need to starting find each other where it counts.
Fitzgerald was averaging 85 receiving yards a game with 427 receiving yards on the season and 2 touchdowns through his first six games of the 2011 NFL season. Fitzgerald's passing yards per game is up nearly 15 yards per game from last season.
Fitzgerald was ranked by Yahoo! as the 7th ranked wide receiver heading into Week 6 taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers who rank 1st against the pass.

Wow, who would have predicted that the Jazz would be ahead of the Mavs and Lakers in the standings, but still only in 10th place in the West?
Wow, who would have predicted that the Jazz would be ahead of the Mavs and Lakers in the standings, but still only in 10th place in the West?
Mavs not that surprising. They lost a lot, and replaced it with meh players.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." - Dwight D. Eisenhower
hey, they are ahead of the Wiz and the Cavs too! Whoo-hoo. BFD. Mediocrity is us. Keep playing the vets.
Never was that impressed with the Mavs. Some friends were raving about their offseason. I didn't get it.
Lakers will turn it around at some point. Too much pressure on them, and too much talent.
They won't make a title run or anything though.
"Hayward can be a #1?"......"Maybe if he goes down to Fort Wayne...DLeague" -ESPN
Celebrate good times!
So after years of rebuilding we are now better than a Lakers team which fired its coach after 5 games and who Kobe describes as "older than ****" and a Mavs team who has played all but a handful of games without Dirk.
I'm definitely impressed. Corbin for COY!!!
Lakers Suck.
And we are all out of the playoffs. Winners.
Build a man a fire; keep him warm for a day. Light a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of this life.
Repeating the same actions and expecting different results is the definition of insanity.

Fallacious appeals to authority take the general form of:
- 1. Person (or people) P makes claim X. Therefore, X is true.
A fundamental reason why the Appeal to Authority can be a fallacy is that a proposition can be well supported only by facts and logically valid inferences. But by using an authority, the argument is relying upon testimony, not facts. A testimony is not an argument and it is not a fact.
Now, such testimony might be strong or it might be weak the better the authority, the stronger the testimony will be and the worse the authority, the weaker the testimony will be. Thus, the way to differentiate between a legitimate and a fallacious appeal to authority is by evaluating the nature and strength of who is giving the testimony.
Obviously, the best way to avoid making the fallacy is to avoid relying upon testimony as much as possible, and instead to rely upon original facts and data. But the truth of the matter is, this isnt always possible: we cant verify every single thing ourselves, and thus will always have to make use of the testimony of experts. Nevertheless, we must do so carefully and judiciously.
The different types of the Appeal to Authority are:
- Legitimate Appeal to Authority
- Appeal to Unqualified Authority
- Appeal to Anonymous Authority
- Appeal to Numbers
- Appeal to Tradition

I use my 70 cub cadet to haul my butt around my property. I was going to get my 1200cc to mow today. From sitting with all the rain we had the clutch was stuck in my 70. Not thinking i ran it into a pile of dirt in the street on the side of the road. She went up the pile of dirt and the clutch stayed frozen. I put it in reverse and not thinking fired it up. I was on an acute angle tettering already. As it went back i was almost thrown off so i slammed it in first gear. Not smart again it wheelied and thru me off. Now i'm under the tractor bent up like a pretzel. Somehow its still running and in reverse. It backed the 29''- 1250-15 tru power tires with two sets of wheel weights right over my bad leg and my worst leg to boot. Then as if that wasn't enough the front wheel got me too. Now its still running backing up in a circle and aiming for me again for the second time. Somehow I managed to get up and turn the key off as it made it to me.
Its not a good day today. My knee is twice the normal size it is now. Luckily the tractor being higher with the over sized front and rear tires saved me it could of been worse.
My point is we need to spray the clutch pressure plate that releases the clutch disc often with a lube so it can't get frozen. Its the pressure plate withy the slot in it so it releases. Lifes lessons learned. I just wanted to drive to my 1200 and cut the grass today before its too high and hay. I don't really drink anymore but today its time for a cold one for sure. I cold one and some hotdogs on the wood fire sounds great. I think its a great day to sit and watch the corn grow. Bill

Roasting is one of the easiest ways to prepare a Sunday supper, plus it fills the house with wonderful aromas. This week we're getting spring off to a bright start with a succulent lamb roast.
It's worth investing in a heavy-duty metal roasting pan with handles. Lightweight-pans, especially throw-away aluminum ones, are too flimsy to handle a roast safely. A roasting rack is not necessary except for poultry.
In general, roast on the middle rack of the oven. Place the roast in the pan with the fat side up so the melting fat bastes the meat. If the roast has no fat (like a well-trimmed leg of lamb), coat it lightly with oil.
Begin roasting at a high temperature to create a crisp crust, then reduce the heat to cook it through. An instant-read thermometer is the best way to check doneness. Remove the meat when it's 10 degrees below the desired final temperature, as it will continue to cook out of the oven. Let it rest, loosely with aluminum foil, so the juices distribute evenly before carving.

Battle to beat phone thieves in Brighton nightclub
3:20pm Friday 30th November 2012 in News By Ben Parsons, Crime Reporter
A nightclubis helping fight a phone theft epidemic gripping city centre nightspots.
Coalition, in Kings Road Arches, Brighton, is tempting thieves with fake phones and snaring them as they leave the club.
Theft is the fastest-rising crime in Sussex. The most recent Home Office figures show there are 82 a day in the county – more than 30,000 a year.
Thefts of mobile phones and handbags in pubs and nightclubs, often from women, are blamed for a large part of the 7% year-on-year rise.
Sussex Police launched Operation Tea Leaf last year, putting plain clothes and high-visibility officers on the street and focusing on pubs.
At Coalition, staff themselves have got involved in the fight to catch the thieves.
Theft risk
The club's workers look for people who have open bags or have left their belongings unattended and point out to them the risk of theft.
They offer the chance to rent £5 handbag alarms for the night, which go off if the bag is opened. The cloakroom is free, to encourage people to stash their belongings.
Coalition's latest move was to buy fake phones from mobile phone companies and leave them lying around or in open bags.
Door staff try to detect the phones being taken out of the club, and stop the suspects. So far five people have been caught.
Dan Hills, the operations director at InnBrighton, which owns Coalition, said: "We need to protect our staff and customers from this. They need to be able to relax and enjoy their night."
A man was arrested on Friday night (November 22) after leaving Coalition.
Evan Coulier, 22, was charged with stealing three phones.
He was bailed until a hearing at Brighton Magistrates' Court on December 12.

Water problems detoured drivers in
Stowe Thursday.
Route 100 between River Road and Route
108 was closed to fix a water main leak.
The problem was discovered Tuesday
when water started surfacing from underneath the road in front of the Stowe
Fire Department. Crews needed to dig through the asphalt and an additional
layer of concrete before they were able to find the damaged pipe.
"With the old
concrete road, the water travels underneath the concrete before it finds a
place to escape. So, just because we saw water coming out of the ground in that
particular spot does not necessarily mean that is where the break is,"
said Richard Grogan of Stowe Public Works.
Crews were eventually able to locate and fix
the problem. The road was back open to traffic around 3 p.m.

The camera swoops down on a French village, charmingly set atop a hill, as snow softly falls. The snow may be digitally applied, as is the river that flows across the bottom of the frame. But otherwise, according to Chocolat production designer David Gropman, the town of Flavigny-sur-Ozcrain appears just as he found it. The look and setting of the 10th—century Burgundy hamlet--not to mention the coincidence that Anis de Flavigny candy is manufactured there--so perfectly suit the storybook tone of Lasse Hallström's movie that it's somewhat surprising to hear Gropman say, "I was actually trying not to find the most beautiful village in France. I was looking for a medieval village that was not sugar-sweet. There are places that are irresistible--but we did resist."
The designer apparently felt that with the substance of the title in plentiful supply, there was already enough sugary sweetness on screen. Also, the conception called for Lansquenet, as the village is known in Chocolat, to be a place where the chocolaterie opened by voluptuous newcomer Vianne (Juliette Binoche) would be met by disapproval and suspicion. "The architecture and style of the village wanted to exemplify the ethic of the people of the village," says the designer. "Flavigny had a beautiful starkness and simplicity. It also had an unbelievably brilliant relationship between the three buildings that had to interact, which were the church, the town hall, and the chocolaterie itself. And because it was a small, intimate square, it was very easy for the camera to take in the relationship of the three buildings."
Of course, changes had to be made to the square. "The thing it didn't have was any businesses," says Gropman, who was nominated for an Oscar last year for his work on another Hallström movie, The Cider House Rules. "It seemed critical to the story that if we were going to create the chocolaterie in the square, other businesses needed to exist around it. So we changed facades and added signs to give the various residential properties commercial identities. We created facades for a café, a beauty salon, a post office, a pharmacy, and so on."
There was also the matter of period setting. The movie of Chocolat, which is based on a popular Joanne Harris novel, is set in 1959, though in a village like Flavigny--or Lansquenet--time does seem to slow to a crawl. "It's interesting, because the book is actually set in the present," says the designer. "But there's almost no sense of it: just a few references. It wasn't until I was about halfway through the book and Joanne Harris writes that one character has a VCR in his apartment, that I thought, 'What?!' I think Lasse felt that if it was set in the year 2000, it would be harder to appreciate the fable quality of the story. By setting it back to 1959, it gives the audience just enough distance. And as a designer, you realize almost immediately from the research that the way people lived in those little villages in 1959 is the way they lived at the turn of the century. I tried not to play very much into the contemporary culture; I thought it was better not to be too specific, to give it a timeless feel."
Much of the period signification was left to costume designer Renee Ehrlich Kalfus. "Very early on, we found these two fabulous photographers, Robert Doisneau and Lilly Ronas, who took endless pictures through the provinces of France exactly during that time," says Kalfus, who like Gropman, is a frequent Hallström collaborator. "The photographs capture marketplaces and village life, so you could really see the characters--we saw bakers, hairdressers, whatever our townspeople consisted of." For Armande, the Judi Dench character who rents Vianne the space that becomes the chocolaterie, Kalfus saw a photo of "a strong French elderly woman" that seemed to nail her look.
Similarly, for Armande's conservative but well dressed daughter Caroline (Carrie-Anne Moss), "I remember a picture of a woman in a flea market, and I said, 'Oh my god, that's her,'" says the costume designer. "Because she was kind of prim, but the skirts were flared. Most of the townspeople still looked postwar, but by 1959, the 50s had struck a certain person; certain women looked of the period. Whereas the older people and the kids were sort of timeless in those towns. Mostly anybody over the age of 50 was in mourning, it seemed." Of course, when Vianne and her daughter arrive on the scene clad in matching red hooded capes, it stirs things up. "Vianne would have come into this town having been to Paris and everywhere," Kalfus says. "She brings the sassy, sensual elements of the 50s, the stuff of Brigitte Bardot or Claudia Cardinale. She really rings of the times--corseted and cinched, very curvaceous, clip-clopping around in high heels, making everybody mad."
And making things worse by opening up a vividly painted chocolaterie during Lent. This interior, constructed on a stage at Shepperton Studios in England, is the heart of the film. "The backstory is that the shop was a patisserie, run by Armande's husband, and which has been closed and derelict since his death," explains Gropman. "So the original design was based on research of French patisseries. As far as the architecture of the space, it's somewhat drawn from the interior of the house we used on location in Flavigny." Although only the window and doorway of the building were shot on location, "I took rough dimensions of the interior, and tried to make that work. The space did in fact have the sort of strange, diagonally placed walls that we ultimately used onstage. The only major change was to add the stairway to the second—floor apartment. I knew I wanted a curved staircase that felt like a tunnel leading up, so that when people appeared on it they had a nice motion and were seen in a nice frame."
Then, Gropman continues, "The transformation [into the chocolaterie] was conceived as what would have been possible for one woman to accomplish in a fairly short amount of time. Paint, obviously, was the easiest way to transform a simple commercial space into something more exotic, and somewhat shocking." Turquoise-colored paint, to be exact--a common hue in South American culture, where Vianne and her chocolate recipes are rooted. "It was very funny, because one of David's battle cries is, never do blue," says Kalfus. "And then he comes up with that color. But I knew the color palette that I was doing with the characters in there was going to be fine--all the rusts and corals and reds would be beautiful." Gropman also gives cinematographer Roger Pratt a lot of credit for being able to work with that turquoise, and "still make everyone's faces glow with life and color."
In addition to the painted walls and ceiling, Vianne creates some artwork for the walls, making use of sun designs and other Mayan-influenced images. But the designer kept set dressing somewhat to a minimum. "We tried to not let her decoration of the space look too complete, because I wanted to convey the idea that she had limited resources and limited time," he says. "I wanted the space to feel somewhat spare and underdeveloped."
What completes it, of course, is the most important piece of set decoration--the chocolate. Gropman particularly enjoyed his research into this aspect of the film. "I began by visiting a lot of chocolateries in Paris, both on people's recommendations and also just by wandering around the city," he says. "There is one wonderful chocolaterie named Cacao, and they specifically sell chocolates made from molds of Mayan ruins and masks and figures. So we availed ourselves of their artistry. There are also many wonderful books about chocolate."
The movie's chocolate expert was Walter Bienz, a Swiss chocolatier who created most of the goodies that are actually eaten in the film. "Whenever a character came into hand-to-hand or hand-to-mouth contact with chocolate, it was real," says Gropman. "Other than that, it was all artificial; we had enormous amounts of Plaster of Paris chocolate on the set." These pieces were made by the property crew from the same molds used for the edible chocolates. "The molds were either period molds that we found, and that were made out of tin, or more contemporary molds, which are made out of plastic," says the designer, who along with the rest of the art department became something of an expert on chocolate-making techniques. "Chocolate can either be poured into molds if you're making specific shapes, or it can be made into bark, a thick layer of chocolate, or it can be squeezed through cloth tubes to make nipples of Venus, for example. The prop department at Shepperton was like a small chocolate factory for many weeks, with quite an impressive production line."
The chocolaterie interior was only part of the Shepperton stage set. Says Gropman, "We also recreated, full size, the entire town square outside the window, because there were so many key scenes that involved people coming and going to the chocolaterie. We wanted to have more than just a simple backing." The Flavigny square is about 60' x 80', making it "quite intimate for a town square, but possible to do on one of the larger stages at Shepperton. It also gave the cinematographer, Roger Pratt, the opportunity to light both day and night scenes much more effectively." Once it was built (from casts of the original building fronts), the town square set ended up being used not just as a backing, but for occasional outdoor scenes. "To show you how much we had to take advantage of the stage set," says the designer, "neither Judi Dench nor Johnny Depp ever worked in France."
Depp plays Irish traveler Roux, who arrives with fellow itinerants in Lansquenet via riverboat, scandalizing the town and awakening Vianne's non-culinary desires. "The boats were built entirely from scratch, from stem to stern," says Gropman. "We wanted them to look like French peniches, or flat-bottom boats, as opposed to English barges. Also, there were some fire effects involved." For the scenes of them coming down the waterway, the boats were digitally matted into shots of a river "at the other end of France" from Flavigny. At rest, the boats were photographed on a small lake in West Country, England.
Like Vianne, Roux provides a contrast to the prevailing mode of dress and behavior in Lansquenet. "I thought of him as her counterpart, her people," says Kalfus, whose other guiding idea for Depp's ponytailed character is summed up as "pre-hippie." Whereas leading male citizens of the town, like Alfred Molina's Comte de Reynaud, are dressed in uniform, conservative black, Roux is in earth tones and "50s stripes," the costume designer says. "The elements of his wardrobe were made up of pieces of things that had existed since the 40s, while the color brought him into the 50s. I just felt he should look sensual and sexy, which is not very hard to do."
To go along with his appearance, the stern, pious Comte is put in what Gropman calls "ecclesiastical" surroundings. These include his dark-toned town hall study, which is far more characteristic of Lansquenet interiors than Vianne's chocolaterie, and his chateau, which is of a piece with the study. The chateau exterior was shot near Flavigny, while the interior was created at an English manor house; the study was a stage set. The production moved around a lot and moved quickly--from a May 2000 start date to a late summer wrap to a December release date through Miramax Films.
Kalfus and Gropman first worked with Hallström on Once Around, the Swedish-born director's 1991 American debut. The costume designer, whose other credits include Dead Man Walking and Snow Falling on Cedars, also worked on Hallström's 1993 movie What's Eating Gilbert Grape?, and Gropman, who also designed Mr. and Mrs. Bridge, Nobody's Fool, and A Civil Action, rejoined the production team for The Cider House Rules. Hallström, Gropman, and Kalfus will next take on The Shipping News, based on the award-winning 1994 novel by E. Annie Proulx. That film will be shot in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland starting this March--not exactly France in May.
Indeed, working on Chocolat seems to have been something of a lark. Kalfus, for example, loved shopping for vintage fabric in London and particularly Paris. "We found an entire basement full of period shoes in Paris, and we did a tremendous amount of flea marketing on weekends," the costume designer recalls. "All of the women were in earrings and scarves that were appropriate for the time, and all of that was shopped." As much as possible, the principals' clothes were made from vintage fabrics. Kalfus remembers with particular fondness a delicately flowered party dress and hat worn by Judi Dench, whose ailing character throws a blowout bash for her 70th birthday. "That was made from this incredible 30s chiffon bought by a friend of mine in a Sotheby's auction," she says. "I'm getting very nostalgic talking about it."
Gropman reserves his nostalgia for--big surprise--the chocolate. He has also refined his tastes in the candy. "I was never one to sit down with a box of chocolates, but I had to get into training for the film," says the designer. "I have to say, now I can eat nothing but dark chocolate. It tends to be more pure cocoa than milk chocolate, and have less sugar in it. It just tastes so delicious. Every time I see the film, afterwards I have to have a piece of dark chocolate."

TALLAHASSEE -- The head of Florida's juvenile justice department cleared her calendar Monday to meet with the young activists camped outside Gov. Rick Scott's office.
Juvenile Justice Secretary Wansley Walters spent the morning and early afternoon fielding questions from the group — and discussing the steps her agency is taking to prevent young people from entering the criminal justice system.
But the activists, known as the Dream Defenders, held firm on their pledge to stay in the Capitol until Scott convenes a special session of the Florida Legislature.
They want lawmakers to create a Trayvon Martin Civil Rights Act, which would repeal the controversial Stand Your Ground law, end racial profiling and remove zero tolerance policies from schools.
"We're happy to engage in dialogue," Dream Defenders co-founder Gabriel Pendas told Walters. "But we don't need any more talk. We need action."
The Dream Defenders also blasted the governor for not holding a public event Sunday, despite calling for a statewide day of prayer and unity.
"It seems like the day of prayer was just lip service," spokesman Steven Pargett said.
But Melissa Sellers, a spokeswoman for Scott, said the governor spent Sunday morning at Bible Based Church in Tallahassee.
"It was his personal time of worship," she said.
Sellers said Scott participated in a conference call with 35 faith-based leaders on Friday.
He asked each to include a call for peace and unity in their Sunday sermons.
The Dream Defenders, a coalition of college students and young professionals from around the state, have spent the past seven days and six nights outside Scott's office. Their sit-in demonstration is a response to George Zimmerman's recent acquittal in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager.
Scott has made it clear that he will not convene a special session.
He directed Walters to speak with the group on Monday.
During an informal meeting outside Scott's office, the student activists told Walters that "zero tolerance" policies in schools were leading to too many suspensions and arrests.
Young people, they said, deserve second chances — especially when one mistake might cause them to get tied up in the criminal justice system.
"I am not a supporter of zero tolerance," Walters replied. "I think when you work with kids, things should be handled on a case-by-case basis."
The young activists also spoke out against incarcerating adults and children in the same facility.
"We need to change the culture," Pendas said.
Walters said her department was working on solutions. "Every day, we are working on the issues you are all talking about," she said. "I'd venture to say we've made more strides than any other state in the union."
But the Dream Defenders wanted concrete action plans. So late Monday, they hunkered down for another night in the Capitol.

"On the Road with Diana and Holga"
The images contained in this book were originally included in an exhibition at Red Door Gallery in Zurich, Switzerland during December/January 2007-2008. The original images have been produced using plastic toy cameras popular during the 1960's. Using readily available 120 medium format film, these cameras produce images with a very unique, almost painterly quality. Prone to light leaks and inconsistent exposures, the photographer must rely more often on luck than technical skill to capture an image. This randomness allows the artist to concentrate on composition, light and shadow and when combined with hand processing of both film and prints, presents a broad range of possibilities.

"One of the things I love about tinyprints is the vast number of card layout options. This came in handy for our 2012 Christmas card as I had a unique main image to work with and the copy placement was imperative to the greeting being legible. tiny prints came through with this design. The copy overlaid nicely on the image which, by the way, was a bonus shot I snapped in the hallway at my work next to some holiday decorations. I received LOTS of compliments on the card. The snazzy design, quality paper and strategic copy placement completely disguised the fact that the photo was taken in a corporate office! I'd call that a success!"
"This is the second year I have ordered Christmas cards from TINY PRINTS. I LOVED BOTH CARDS. I also got a lot of compliments on them. Excellent quality. Excellent service. Excellent Customer Service. I have also bought thank you cards and return address labels. Everything has been of the highest quality. I will not shop anywhere else! Thank you TINY PRINTS!"
"I personalized with pictures and color and the quality of paper and printer was excellent. We received many compliments on our card. Would highly recommend Tiny Prints."
"I ordered my Christmas cards and paid extra for a rush order on the evening of Dec.18th not knowing that if I asked to see a proof it will delay the entire process. I called frantically and Tiny Prints delivered the cards and envelopes on Friday instead of Monday the 23rd so I can send them off on Saturday the 21th. I had time on Friday to custom print addresses on my printer for each of my 98 cards and they were all ready to be mailed on Saturday. Thanks to Tiny prints my family and friends received all their cards on Monday the 23rd before Christmas Day and I was one VERY HAPPY customer. Thank you, Bubook"
"This was a great card for the close up single photo we wanted to use of our children. Many of the other styles we tried looked awkward, but this one was perfect. A great classic style. We got lots of compliments on this card."

Pacquette sent packing
2:29pm Thursday 10th January 2013 in Sport By Wendy Gee, Non-league football reporter
EASTLEIGH have released frontman Richard Pacquette - just a month after signing him.
With wet weather blighting the early part of his stay, the former QPR and Havant & Waterlooville hitman made just two appearances for the club in defeats at Salisbury City and Bromley, scoring one goal.
He has been sacrificed to make way for the recruitment of new defensive signings, which began earlier this week with the arrivals of Dean Beckwith and Alex Lacey (loan) from Luton Town.
"We would like to wish Richard all the very best for the future and thank him for his efforts and contribution at the Silverlake Stadium," said a club statement.

Top Teachers: Stephen Worfolk
Jackson Davis E.S., third grade
Stephen Worfolk happened upon his career calling on a basketball court, while coaching a team at St. Mary's Church.
"Even though we lost a lot of games my first year, I truly enjoyed teaching the kids how to play," he said. "It was then I realized I would like to try my hand at teaching."
Although he now "coaches" a classroom full of third-graders at Jackson Davis E.S., the challenges are similar in some respects.
"A large group of students come to you each year on different levels academically, emotionally and physically," he said. "Trying to meet each student's needs and creating a classroom environment where each can grow can be very challenging."
Sometimes the students, like his basketball players, need physical help and encouragement. In September, for instance, when training begins for the mile or half-mile running test in P.E., many can barely run a lap around the track. But Worfolk makes sure that the students exercise each day and run a mile at least three times a week.
Worfolk notes that one of his favorite days of the school year is the spring running test, when students who ran with difficulty in September find they can now go the distance without stopping. "It's incredibly rewarding," said Worfolk. "It is so neat to see students get excited about conquering a challenge they might have hated in the beginning of the year."
A parent who observed this transformation comments, "Some kids never have – and may never again have – the opportunity or the encouragement that he provides. The physical progress for many of the kids is very inspirational."
Parents also admire Worfolk's "relentless" energy and concern for his students, and note that while strict, "he has a huge heart."
To his students' delight, he makes a point of attending their extracurricular activities and sports throughout the year. And to the delight of parents, he compiles an end-of-year show featuring photos from extracurricular events as well as from in-school activities.
Worfolk's interest in the children as individuals, say parents, has a tremendous effect on students' motivation and enthusiasm when it comes to school.
When it comes to enthusiasm for his students and for his colleagues, it's hard to match Worfolk, as well.
One of his more rewarding teaching experiences involved a student who came into his class reading far below grade level.
Worfolk said the student was "incredibly hard-working," but required help from many teachers beside himself due to being so far behind.
"I was proud to be a part," he said, "of this amazing group of teachers . . . who helped this student with her reading to the point where she could read proudly to the rest of the class."

YMCA breaks ground for aquatic center
YMCA officials gathered last week to break ground on the new Tommy J. West Aquatic Center at the Shady Grove Family YMCA on Nuckols Road. The center, which will featured 7,600 square feet of competitive and recreational space, including water slides, play areas for children and warmer water for those with physical limitations, is the fourth phase of a $4 million expansion at the facility. West was president and CEO of Capital Interior Contractors and a founding member of the Central Virginia Region of the Virginia Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors. > Read more.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

Junk mail junk mail
From Junk Mail by Circle Jerks
Lately I've been getting back to basics with entries like this one that have tremendously useful (would you believe marginally useful?) ideas that actual people can apply. In real life even. Well this post takes that even further. I've gathered some information on how you can reduce your postal mail spam footprint. That's right, postal mail. Snail mail. The stuff in that box outside your door. Nowadays pretty much everything I receive through the US Postal Service is some kind of junk mail. So I decided to share with you, dear readers, some stuff I learned from these great articles including this one in LifeHacker all about The Best Sites, Numbers, and Forms for Banishing Junk Mail and this one in Senior Brigade called How to Reduce Telemarketing Calls and Junk Mail.
Jacqui Cheng at the always informative Ars Technica has offered up four great starting points to hit the most egregious tree-choppers and mailbox stuffers:
- Credit card offers: OptOutPrescreen.com
- Catalogs: Catalog Choice
- Direct mail: DirectMail's Do Not Mail list
- Phonebooks: YellowPagesOptOut.com (may require additional contact)
Note that some of the sites mentioned above have offerings and rules are that are not terribly obvious, so check out the original Ars Technica article for additional details. They are pretty amusing as well as informative. In addition to those links the folks at LifeHacker and Senior Brigade have gathered some other sites to help reduce your junk mail that I've summarized here.
- Go straight to the junk mail source – The "We really aren't intentionally annoying" section of the Direct Marketing Association is a Mail Preference Service. Sign in to opt out of catalogs and newsletters you don't want. Your name will remain on this "delete file" for five years. Alternatively you can complete this form, or draft a letter including your name and address, and mail it to:
DMA Mail Preference Service
P.O. Box 9008
Farmingdale , NY 11735-9008
- Send mail for previous owners/occupants to the real-world bit bucket – Los Angeles County's Dept. of Public Works suggests the following: "If the former residents of your house neglected to fill out a 'Change of Address Form' or it expired, you can fill one out for them. You must fill out a card for each unique last name. On the card write 'Moved, Left No Forwarding Address' as the new address. Sign your own name and write on the form 'Form filled in by current resident of the house, (your name), agent for the above'. Once submitted, this information will be entered into the U.S. Postal Service's National Change of Address (NCOA) database and remain active for a year and a half."
- Slice up credit card offers – The Big Three credit bureaus—Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax offer a toll-free number you can call to remove your home and identity from their third-party hand-outs: 1-888-5-OPTOUT (1-888-567-8688). You can also visit http://www.optoutprescreen.com where you can choose to opt out for five years, or permanently. You can also call the same number or visit the same website to opt back in. Like that would ever happen.
- Filter out porn mail – The U.S. Postal Service gets real cranky when the stuff they deliver to your mailbox is sexually explicit. Just grab Form 1500, "Application for Listing and/or Prohibitory Order," from the USPS' PDF forms listing (Google Docs version here), fill it out, file it, and lose the nasty stuff.
- Just say no to coupon packs – Val-Pak, Carol Wright, and ADVO offer up the bundled packs of coupons that some folks really groove on. If you are not one of those folks, Obviously.com lists the big three coupon opt-out methods in their junkmail how-to, along with many more junkmail avoidance ideas.
- Be uncharitable to charity solicitations – Just because you gave once doesn't mean you want to continue giving forever. Unfortunately very few charities have anything like opt-out forms on web pages. And almost all of them share donor information promiscuously. As do magazines and other subscription publications. Tell magazines to which you subscribe, and charities to which you donate, that you don't want them to share your name with other businesses or charities. Request the same from mail order companies. The BBB Wise Giving Alliance recommends sending a letter informing the charities you do support that you don't want your information given out and asking the other charities by mail to stop contacting you. Be sure to include the original mailing label, which often has information needed to process your request.
- Tell your bank to keep their junk out of your mailbox – Read the privacy policies of your credit card companies and banks. The policies must give you an "opt-out" option, by which you can tell the bank not to share your personal information with other companies. The bank may still be allowed to share your information with its "affiliate" companies. Weasels.
- Don't play sucker games – Don't enter sweepstakes and drawings. The main purpose of many contests is to compile mailing lists. If you enter one contest, you are likely to receive mailings from other contests.
There are more ideas on how to stop junk mail and telemarketing at the Federal Trade Commission
So now in addition to Inbox Zero maybe we can get to Mailbox Zero.
