The award is given to student-athletes who have achieved a 3.60 to 3.79 GPA.
Walton, a Curry High School graduate, was a member of the Lady Parsons softball team. She majored in Science and finished at Snead State with a 3.78 GPA.
She is the daughter of Chris and Suzie Walton of Oakman. She will continue her academic and athletic career at the University of Alabama Huntsville to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and play softball for the UAH Chargers.
"We are very pleased our student-athletes receive this honor because it reflects on their commitment to academics as much as their focus on athletics," said Snead State Athletic Director Mark Richard. "This group of student-athletes has set the academic standard high, but with the direction we've taken with the athletic program, the athletes who follow them will find success as well."
For the second year in a row, much of the attention in the Snead State athletic department shifted to mirror the college's mission to enhance opportunities for students through the College Completion Agenda.
The changes set Snead State Athletics apart from the other programs in the state.
"At a time when many community colleges eliminated athletic programs, we continued to offer them for one reason – our students," said Richard. "Many of our students rely on the resources available through athletics to set them on a path toward a quality education. Our commitment was and will continue to be helping students succeed."
All seven of Snead State's NJCAA Academic Student-Athletes graduated with their Associate's degree in May.
Three Snead State teams were named NJCAA All-Academic Teams.
The tennis team finished with a collective 3.44 GPA. The softball team completed the year with a 3.32 GPA, and the volleyball team ended with a 3.0 GPA.
To qualify as an NJCAA All-Academic Team, the team must have an overall team GPA of at least 3.0.

Thousands of Miami Dolphins fans received an unexpected bonus along with their season-ticket renewal packets this week: An invitation to join a social club tailored to their specific tastes.
And the best part: Its free (with any season-ticket purchase, of course).
Tickets to major events are seen more as a commodity every year, so the Dolphins have spent the past six months exploring ways to make benefits of season-ticket membership unique and non-transferable.
The result: a membership program with discounts and year-round events, based on each individuals lifestyle. The self-explanatory names of the categories: Finatic, Family, Social and Business.
The program weve created is designed to give them more benefits, events and discounts than theyve ever experienced, and provide an even better value proposition, as it relates to being a member of the Dolphins, said Jeremy Walls, the teams chief revenue officer.
The program is the first big ticketing initiative rolled out by Tom Garfinkel, who was named the Dolphins CEO late last summer.
Garfinkels top job is to grow the teams attendance, which showed improvement in 2013 (averaging 64,319 per game), but still ranked in the bottom third league-wide. The Dolphins season-ticket numbers have been particularly soft in recent years, with fans increasingly choosing to buy individual tickets through the team or on the secondary market, or purchase three-game packages.
Thats why the Dolphins, like several other teams, have elected to use variable pricing for their 10 home games for the first time this coming season. That means the prices for single-game tickets will fluctuate, depending on the matchup. Before, Dolphins tickets were the same price for every event, including preseason games.
The Dolphins will make those prices known when the 2014 schedule is announced this spring. But its a smart bet that home games against the Patriots, Jets and Packers will be among the priciest seats, while preseason games will be the cheapest.
The same, market-based philosophy was used to set Dolphins game prices overall which is why some will see their season-ticket costs go up, more will see them go down, but most will see no change either way. Twenty-six percent of seats will decrease in price, 18 percent will increase and the rest will stay the same in 2014, Walls said.
All members will get a customer service representative and local entertainment discounts. But the Cadillac plan members will also get exclusive access such as an invitation to draft and tailgate parties, pregame field passes, a family day at SeaWorld in Orlando and even a yacht party.
The team plans a launch event for all members at the stadium on March 22.
• Ted Wells has informed the NFL that his report on the Dolphins bullying scandal will be completed and issued either late next week or early the following week, his spokeswoman said.

Last week, Tony La Russa agreed to terms to return as manager of the St. Louis Cardinals in 2011, with a mutual option for 2012. That answered the biggest question surrounding the Cardinals' coaching staff, but other questions still remained - such as what would become of pitching coach Dave Duncan and hitting coach Mark McGwire.
Monday, we've found out that Duncan will return, while McGwire almost certainly will as well:
The Cardinals and pitching coach Dave Duncan have agreed upon a two-year contract with a mutual option for 2013. The deal represents a departure from the front office's initial sentiment to award only one-year deals to manager Tony La Russa's coaching staff.
A source familiar with the situation indicated a belief that hitting coach Mark McGwire will return for a second season after weighing whether he should step aside due to family reasons.
Duncan is believed to be perhaps the best pitching coach in the game, having made a name for himself by turning supposed reclamation projects into contributing starters and relievers. He is a coach the Cardinals were in no hurry to see get away, and so they'll be thrilled to have him back.
As for McGwire, there's no consensus opinion on how good or bad he is in his current position. The family reasons alluded to in the paragraph above refer to the fact that McGwire and his wife very recently had triplets, which has understandably made the home life quite a bit more stressful.

Manchester City are dealing with some injuries and didn't look good when Chelsea had 11 men during the Community Shield, but they can probably manage to nab three points at home in their Premier League debut against Southampton. The Saints have plenty of talent and should have a decent shot of staying up, but their porous defense is likely to struggle at Eastlands.
Mario Balotelli is a doubt for City, while Joe Hart is expected to return from injury. Gareth Barry and Micah Richards are still out. Southampton's only injury doubt is Jack Cork, who wasn't a lock to start anyway.
Southampton have some decent midfield and attacking talent and could nick a goal, but it would be stunning to see them hold City at all. Hopefully for the neutrals, this match gets nice and open.
Game Date/Time: Saturday, 11 a.m. ET, 4 p.m. ET
Venue: City of Manchester Stadium, Manchester, England
TV: FOX Soccer Channel (U.S.), Sky Sports 1 (U.K.), Sportsnet (Canada)

Eco-Democrat Socialist Author in NYT: "America, prepare to give up your air-conditioning"
Original post made by More AC on Jun 24, 2012
Web Link
It should be noted that this author is also writes for the Journal called "Capitalism Nature Socialism" whose eco-manifesto states, among other things, that ...
"In sum, the capitalist world system is historically bankrupt. It has become an empire unable to adapt, whose very gigantism exposes its underlying weakness. It is, in the language of ecology, profoundly unsustainable, and must be changed fundamentally, nay, replaced, if there is to be a future worth living."
Web Link
The Obama democrat socialists are intent on "transforming" America back to the 12th century. My opinion is that we conservatives should give them a one-way ticket to socialist North Korea...where they really believe in "equity for all."

I adore air conditioning. Historians have told us how important it is. Without air conditioning Saint Bernard of Clairvoux would not have been able to wage war against the Islamic scourge in the 12th century. Without air conditioning all 12th-century prayer gatherings by the Cistercians would not have been possible. Our Founding Fathers intentionally kept the wording regarding air conditioning in the Constitution vague so as to permit its varied uses, particularly in the nation's military efforts. Thomas Edison could never have made his discoveries without air conditioning. Confederates would have won the Civil War had it not been for air conditioning. Without air conditioning, my husband would be in a constant state of hot tempered road rage in response to my helpful contributions on how he might improve his driving.
on Jun 24, 2012 at 8:32 am
GASP! This must mean, by the Law of Stretching Things Too Far, that Obama wants America to return to the 12th Century, which was just before we had air conditioning!! Do we need any further proof that this means he was born in a country that didn't have air conditioning, like hmm...could it be Kenya?!? Why isn't the lamestream media all over this? Could they be biased? Perhaps they think they're so cool they don't need air conditioning? James O'Keefe must be spinning in his grave.
Think about it!

Cook Dinner for Professor Haugaard
Honors students who miss the chance to cook while living at school can get together, plan a menu, cook dinner, and then join in a meal.
A delicious experience for all!
There are always lots of interesting characters that emerge at Halloween.
August Orientation 2013
Each year, the incoming first-year honors students come to campus two days before most other undergraduates arrive at UAlbany. After moving into the honors residence halls, students and their families attend the inaugural lecture of the year, delivered by Professor Haugaard, and then have one final dinner together before the families head home.
The new honors students join orientation groups, each of which is led by an honors junior (a POET - a person of extraordinary talent). The first night, there are a variety of activities to help the students as they start to get to make friends with other honors students. The next day, the POET groups head off to a scavenger hunt in the morning and several other activities in the afternoon.
On the second day, there are tours of the campus and tours of the City of Albany. The honors students then join the rest of the UAlbany incoming first-year students for the regular orientation program. By the end of our orientation, the honors students know each other, the campus, and parts of the city. It is a great way for the honors students to start their honors years at UAlbany.
Graduation 2013
Fifty-five honors seniors, and their parents, professors, and high-school teachers were honored at the Graduation Celebration for the Class of 2013 on May 4.
It was a wonderful event and a great opportunity to celebrate the success of all of our students.

Atlanta Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez got a look at the future. And Gwinnett baseball fans got a chance to watch their major league favorites play in their own backyard.
A record setting crowd of 10,568 came to Coolray Field on Tuesday night to watch the Atlanta Braves -- a team made up of the best talent from the major league team's farm clubs. And the future looks bright for many of the up and coming players.
"They've got some good young position players there and some of those arms that came out of the bullpen, it was pretty impressive to see," said Gonzalez. "If I ever get fired, I'm gonna go out there and manage the Lynchburg Hillcats this year," he joked. "It's a pretty good club they've got out there!"
The Future All-Stars team brought players from the Gwinnett Braves, Mississippi Braves, Rome Braves and the Lynchburg Hillcats together under the guidance of retired Atlanta Braves manager . The team fared well, but in a rain-shortened game.
The Future All-Stars had a 3-1 lead over the guys in the big leagues until the bottom of the fifth. "I was proud of our guys, they played very well, they held their own," said Cox. "We've got a lot to look forward to, with the pitching especially. The pitching for me tonight, I didn't know it was going to be that good."
Both Gonzalez and Cox also enjoyed the fun of this first-ever matchup. "I think North (Johnson, G-Braves General Manager) and his staff here in Gwinnett did a terrific job making us feel comfortable, it was really impressive," said Gonzalez. "If they ask us to do this again next year, I would love to do it." Cox agreed adding he hopes it's "something that may become a tradition."
Watch this exclusive video to see what else Gonzalez and Cox had to say about Tuesday's game and the Atlanta Braves' season opener against the New York Mets.

The Right To Keep Animals In Your Apartment
I have 10 days to get rid of my dog. I don't wish to do this. He is only 7 months old. A baby in our family. A dog that cannot even hurt a baby. He may be a vicious breed but we have trained him ever since he was a month old. But this doesn't only affect me, but families that have pets. They are threatened, told that they would be removed from their homes. For what, loving an animal, not even, a family member. Help me get to keep my animal and maybe your kids or even your animal in the future.

Baton Rouge, La. — Some state lawmakers are trying to force the state to accept federal health care reform dollars and expand the Medicaid program, which provides health insurance for the state's poor. But one bill aimed at that goal failed to get enough votes Wednesday at the State Capitol.
The House Health and Welfare Committee debated HB 110, which requires the state to expand its Medicaid program to make more of the state's uninsured eligible for Medicaid. It failed on an 11 to 8 vote after hours of feisty debate.
Governor Bobby Jindal has refused to expand the Medicaid program. Jindal has said it could saddle the state with millions and millions of extra costs.
But those who spoke in favor of HB 110 said the state has nothing to lose, and its uninsured citizens have a lot to gain. They said many of the working poor would be afforded health insurance if Medicaid's eligibility standards are expanded in Louisiana.
Representative Katrina Jackson, D-Monroe, said there is a lot of impetus for the state to comply with the reforms, given that the federal government is picking up much of the tab -- at least at the beginning.
"Louisiana is covered at 100 percent for the first three years… at any time that we feel that it's not beneficial for this state, we can opt out," Jackson stated.
Pineville resident Angeline Iles said her brother's lack of health insurance while dealing with life-threatening illnesses ravaged her own finances.
"Getting in debt with my house note, I was without water, running water in my home for over 12 days because the decision was, do you buy his heart medication or do you keep the water on?" she told lawmakers.
A representative of the Louisiana Conference of Catholic Bishops spoke in favor of the legislation requiring an expansion in the state's Medicaid eligibility.
"Those who face social economic challenges, the bishops would naturally have to advocate for acceptance of that expansion," said Robert Tasman, associate director of the conference. However, he said the federal health care reform law lacks perfection.
Some on the legislative panel said they were torn over the issue and lacked enough information to support the bill at this time.
"I'm not saying I'm going to support this one, but I will support something that I think is good. But I don't think anybody in this room, in this country can tell me what's in the Affordable Care Act," said Representative Kenneth Havard, R-Jackson.
The Jindal administration continues to stand its ground, saying there are too many uncertainties when it comes to health care reform and the impact on the state's bottom line.
"That is based on high, what we believe are high risks of the unknowns in the Medicaid expansion," said Kathy Kliebert, interim secretary of the La. Department of Health and Hospitals.
And in the end, uncertainty among House committee members led to the vote being defeated,
The bill's sponsor, Rep. Barbara Norton, D-Shreveport, said she remains optimistic. There are similar pieces of legislation still up for consideration in the legislature.

November 1, 2008, We spent most of the day in Ocean Grove, New Jersey, a ocean-front
town with rich history and juicy traditions.
The weather that day was unseasonally warm and a lot of locals showed up in the beach. We saw
at least two water-front weddings in the afternoon with big audience and filming crews. It was a perfect day! Even dogs had a lot
of fun chasing birds and playing with water.
March 22, 2008, We went all the way to Ocean City, New Jersey to meet Easter bunnies and attend
the annual Easter egg hunt on the beach.
The weather was very cold for late March of the year.
I saw a big sign of "Think Summer" on my way to
the Ocean City beach, instantly we felt much better ...
January 17, 2009, Isabelle and her friends at Yana Dance School did a dance performance in a Chinese new year
celebration party organized by the Huaxia Chinese School at Livingston, New jersey.
The following picture was taken after Isabelle finished her final rehersal
before the celebration formally started.

Recruitment Fairs
What to expect...
Our fairs focus on specific industry sectors and allow you to chat to senior managers, graduate recruiters and UCL alumni about jobs, selection procedures and what they are looking for from you. We bring together a large number of recruiters for each fair so that you can compare and contrast what different employers have on offer in one place at the same time and ask the individual questions that matter to you.
Do I have to book to attend?
NO! Due to the size and duration of each Fair, visitors can come and go as they please while a Fair is on so booking is not necessary.
Access to ALL fairs is via the South Cloister. Visitors are welcome to queue from half an hour before the start of a Fair but unfortunately, since the area will be busy with our staff and exhibitors setting up the event, we will not allow a queue to form before this time.
The last entry time will be 20 minutes before the Fair ends as the Fair needs to close promptly.
Please be aware however that the Fairs are very popular and entry to the exhibitor stands will be controlled to avoid overcrowding and entry to all Fairs is on a first come-first served basis. You may therefore be asked to queue on arrival and we thank you in advance for your patience.
UCL ID: Although booking is not required, you MUST BRING CURRENT UCL ID to the Fair, (student, staff or GradClub member card). We are unable to check your UCL status at the Fair so if you don't have valid UCL ID, you will not get in!

The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

A Kansas City man took a bullet trying to stop a purse snatcher in April. For the first time that Good Samaritan is talking about what happened that day, and how his life has changed since.
The shooting happened in April at the Food Shop convenience store parking lot, on the corner of Gregory Boulevard and Cleveland Avenue.
The Good Samaritan shot was nearly killed but, despite that, he said he'll never turn away from someone in need.
A warning to readers: some images from his slow and painful recovery may be graphic.
The plea from the woman for the safety of her children was something Yousaf Haroon couldn't resist. A man was trying to steal the woman's purse at gunpoint outside the convenience store where Haroon worked. The woman had her children with her, and was screaming for help.
"When she was asking about the babies, that clicked with me and that made me come out and go to help her, and her babies," he said.
Haroon ran out and grabbed the man but, as they struggled, Haroon fell and the man pulled out his gun.
"He shoot me six times, and five bullets hit me," he recalled.
Officers were nearby and caught up with the running suspect, 19-year-old Murad Jones, who is now charged with first-degree robbery, assault and armed criminal action.
Haroon said he doesn't know what should happen to Jones, but his own person punishment continues.
"Very pain, too much painful conditions right now," he said.
Haroon was shot April 10, spent 28 days in the hospital, then had to go back in for a second surgery last week and just came home Thursday. Despite the painful recovery, Haroon said he would do it again, thanks to the teachings of his Muslim faith.
"If you are helping someone who is helpless, that makes you very strong inside, that you've done something good in your life for someone," he said.
Haroon was able to make it home to his wife and new child, who was born while he was in the hospital. But he knows how much they too suffered, and has his own advice now for everyone else.
"I request every person that they must take care of the people, because if you saw someone who are getting some problem, you must have to help them, but not put yourself in life-threatening situation, as I did," he said.
The concept of doing for others is really ingrained in Haroon. He wouldn't let KCTV5's Alice Barr and Photographer Yumi Taylor leave his home without offering them some kind of gift, in this case a juice box to take home.
Haroon will need to rely on the help from others, as he's now facing $240,000 in medical bills.

Welcome to the Gettysburg Review Online!
Advance copies of the Autumn 2014 issue have arrived in our offices, so, subscribers (thank you, by the way), your copies should be arriving soon. Nonsubscribers, subscribe! To buy individual copies, go to your local bookseller or click over to our Online Store, where you can find all things Gettysburg Review. Oh yes, visit and like us on Facebook, too, if you're so inclined.
The Autumn edition includes, as usual, an assortment of wonderful writing, such as Mary Alice Hostetter's essay "Zeit und Raum," in which she recalls a time during her adventurous youth when she decided to take a break from teaching high-school English in Philadelphia and moved to deeply rural Helvetia, West Virginia, to help resurrect a restaurant and a small cheese-making business.
Fiction wise, we have a selection of stories that explores the benefits and detriments of domesticity and solitude, featuring protagonists estranged from their lives and loves. It's always difficult to pick favorites, but a couple of standouts are Judith Edelman's "The Parchment Is Burning, but the Letters Soar Freely," which centers on a young, grotesquely avant-garde fashion designer struggling with her career, love life, and dying mother and is narrated by a purse she made from her dear but expired cat, and Monica McFawn's "Line of Questioning," a creepy, noirish account of a poetry professor's dealings with the police after a student he once taught has been murdered.
You will also find the usual assortment of poetic delights by veterans Richard Lyons, Michael Waters, and Christopher Howell, as well as poems by newcomer (to our pages at least) Tina Barr and many others.
Dig in and enjoy and let us know what you think.

Should felony-murder rule be overturned?

William Van Poyck is scheduled to be executed on Wednesday at 6 p.m. for the 1987 murder of Glades Correctional Institution guard Fred Griffis during an escape attempt outside a West Palm Beach doctor's office.
Van Poyck's lawyers say he should not be executed because he did not pull the trigger. They have produced an affidavit from Wanda Valdes stating that her husband, Frank, confessed to her that he pulled the trigger. Frank Valdes was beaten to death by prison guards in 1999.
The Florida Supreme Court has refused to stay Van Poyck's execution. Van Poyck lawyer Jeffrey Davis, who is from [More]

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This route is one of the few bolted moderate multipitches in NM. We cleaned off the big stuff but the route will require more ascents to really clean up. The first two pitches are great on good rock while the rock quality deteriorates on the third pitch. Any of these pitches can be combined, just watch out for rope drag.
Currently the rightmost route on the Gray wall. Continue past Lance's routes until the wall curves around. Just past this curve lies Metallic Gray, look for the camo'd bolt hangers in a faint dihedral.
Bolts and Chain Anchors. Descend by Rappelling route, a 60m rope is fine.

The Placer County Board of Supervisors paid its respects Tuesday to Kathy Lund and Peter Hill, two retired Rocklin elected officials who forged close working relationships with county officials on many regional projects and advisory boards over the years.
The other four board members awarded 2012 commemorative coins to outstanding citizens in their districts late last year, but Supervisor Weygandt waited until Tuesday's meeting so Hill and Lund could attend together and be honored at the same time.
"As much as anything, you have been great friends to me," Supervisor Weygandt told his coin recipients. "You have helped me in this business and helped me be a much better supervisor."
"I considered you mentors when I took office," added board Chairman Jim Holmes.
Both Lund and Hill served as mayor of Rocklin six times. Lund was on the City Council for 25 years and Hill served as a councilman for 29 years.
At the urging of Supervisor Weygandt, the board adopted a commendation honoring Lund when she retired from the City Council in 2010.
In a memo to his colleagues, Supervisor Weygandt noted that Lund served six consecutive terms on the Rocklin council. "During her years of service, Rocklin has been a prosperous community and grew in population from 9,000 to 54,000 residents," he explained, noting that Lund contributed to the success of many programs that earned Rocklin a nationwide reputation as a great place to live.
The supervisor pointed out that Rocklin has been honored over the years by Family Circle magazine as one of the country's top-10 cities to raise a family and by Money magazine as one of the top-100 small cities in the U.S.
The board adopted a commendation honoring Hill for exceptional public service when he left the council last December.
"No matter what the challenge, Peter has always put his heart and soul into serving his constituents and making his community a better place to live, work and play," it explained. "We have all benefited greatly from his steady leadership, wisdom and ability to get things done in that special Peter-Hill-kind-of-way."
For 25 years, Hill worked as a planner and manager for the Sacramento Area Council of Governments.
The commemorative coins feature the county seal on one side. On the other side are the word "hero" and the image of an eagle with a star and sun rays in the background. The second side of the coin was designed by J. Randal Smith, an Auburn native who is a nationally known artist. His design won a competition coordinated by the Arts Council of Placer County.

Bay District Schools (BDS) has moved to a new online school registration process, which started earlier this week. Previously, parents registered at their home zoned schools. All parents who have students in kindergarten through grade 12 must complete the online registration process for the coming school year.
At this time, the only pre-kindergarten students included in this new process are those who are in ESE Pre-K. The registration process begins by signing on to Parent Portal, an electronic student record that can be accessed by parents and students. Some parents may have already established a Parent Portal account. Those who do not currently have a Parent Portal account will go the school district website at www.bay.k12.fl.us and click on the Parent Portal icon.
Students new to Bay District Schools are required to register in person. A registration center has been opened at the Nelson Administrative Office, which will be open during the summer months. It is open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in room 415. The Center will be closed the week of July 1st. A photo identification card (usually a driver license) is needed for all visitors to the Nelson building.
Documentation required for first time registration is as follows: driver license, two proofs of address, shot record and student birth certificate.
Parent input of student information directly into the student data base will improve the accuracy of student records and will allow parents to provide critical updates from their home computer or a phone with an internet connection. Requiring registration through Parent Portal will also give parents instant access to academic progress and attendance information, and provides better communication between students, parents and teachers since an email address is required to sign on.
Expansion of the online student data system will also give staff real-time counts on the number of students enrolled by school, grade, and course. There will also be cost savings by eliminating paper, printing, postage, and personnel costs associated with data entry.
For parents who are registering students for kindergarten for the first time, students new to the school district, or students who re-entering
1) You must have an active Google email account to register a student for the 2013-2014 school year. To create a free Google email account go to www.google.com/SignUp and complete the new accounts information.
2) Next, go to the School Registration Center located in the Nelson Administrative Office at 1311 Balboa Ave., Panama City, FL 32401, room 415. The center will be open Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
3) Required documents are: a photo i.d., two proofs of residence, student birth certificate, shot record and social security card (optional) (BDS Policy 7.101). Documentation must be verified before a student identification number can be issued. A student identification number is needed in order to access the school district online registration site.
4) Student Services staff will be available to assist you with completing the registration process.
For parents of current students who have not yet signed on to Parent Portal
1) Get the Student ID number from a report card or call the school.
2) You must have an active Google email account to register a student for the 2013-2014 school years. To create a free Google email account go to www.google.com/SignUp and complete the new accounts information.
3) Go to the Bay District Schools home page at www.bay.k12.fl.us and click on the Parent Portal icon. On the Parent Portal page click on and complete Request Access to Parent Portal. After this step is complete, go to the school to verify your identification with you driver license. Your user-id will be connected to the student in the database allowing access to student records. This step must be completed to proceed with the 2013-2014 School Registration process.
4) Next, click on Parent Portal Login. Click on My Child. Click on Request Changes to Student and Contact Info. Click on the tab with student name and complete the registration fields.
For parents of current students who have an active Parent Portal account
1) Go to the Bay District Schools home page at www.bay.k12.fl.us and click on the Parent Portal icon. On the Parent Portal page click on and complete the Parent Portal Login.
2) Click on My Child. Click on Request Changes to Student and Contact Info. Click on the tab with your child's name and complete the registration fields.
All parents must complete the online registration process. For additional assistance, contact Student Services at 767-4311.

A Chicago police officer was conscious and talking after emergency crews cut him out of a South Side wreck involving a squad car and a garbage truck Tuesday night.
The crash happened about 9:15 p.m. near the intersection of 43rd Street and Ashland Avenue, police News Affairs Officer Daniel O'Brien said, citing preliminary information.
The police officer was driving a Ford Crown Victoria police sedan, "fortunately equipped with side airbags," Fire Media Affairs Director Larry Langford said.
Emergency crews had to cut the officer out of the wreckage, but found him conscious and alert, Langford said. He was being treated at John H. Stroger Hospital of Cook County for non-life-threatening injuries.
The police vehicle and a garbage truck collided, though details on how the crash happened were not yet known, authorities said.

A disturbing first day of school for one Morehouse College student has turned into a wake-up call for one of Atlanta's elected officials.Fulton County Commission Chairman John Eaves said that his 18-year-old son was ambushed by armed thugs on Thursday. The crooks stole the freshman's cell phone.It was the freshman's first day on campus. He'd just finished band practice and was standing outside a building on Joseph Lowery Boulevard around 9 p.m. when he was attacked. He was not injured and returned to practice on Friday, but his father is still on edge.Eaves posted his frustrations about the robbery and urban crime on his Facebook page. The post read, in part: "Right now I am experiencing a wide range of emotions...I am relieved and thankful that my first born is still with me, but I am also angry…and concerned. I am not very optimistic about the future of our community, especially when you look at the status of African American males. Too many African American boys have access to guns, too many of them drop out of high school, too many of them are in prison, and too many of them place little value on the lives of others.I hope we will begin to change the dialogue of what OTHERS are doing to us and our communities, but we must focus on what WE can do to change the pathological self-destructive behavior that is occurring within OUR own communities."Eaves talked more about his outrage with FOX 5's Portia Bruner on Friday."I'm very, very concerned that I've been fighting against and trying to resolve and reform has come at my own door step in terms of my own son being a victim of crime," Eaves said. "We have too many young men who don't place a value on other people's lives. I think that we all know that there's a problem."Eaves is a second-generation Morehouse College graduate. Despite what happened to his son, he said he has no reservations about leaving his son enrolled in the college. He said he does have a message for parents and students at all of Atlanta's universities."The fact is college students can become prey for criminal element if they are not savvy, if they're not mindful and if they're not aware," said Eaves. "Do all that you can, be the best that you can, but also be mindful of there are some criminal activity elements that are out there. Morehouse College and Atlanta police are investigating the crime. They've stepped up patrols in the area and urged students to travel in groups.

AKRON, Ohio - Doctors aren't the only ones making rounds at Akron Children's Hospital.
Each week the hospital system opens its doors to a furry, four-legged visitor. And while it might not be exactly what the doctor ordered, Petie the Pony's weekly visits to Akron Children's Hospital sure don't seem to hurt.
"We just saw it walk down the hall and I thought I was seeing things and then they said yes that is a horse and he would be back up to see her. So she was really excited. I don't think she believed me when I said there was a horse in the hallway," said Carla Queen of New Middletown.
Petie has been bringing smiles to the faces of patients at Akron Children's Hospital since 1997. The 21-year-old Shetland miniature pony cross also makes stops at area nursing homes and schools and has even been featured in national magazines.
"He is the only pony in the country, that we know, that is certified to go room to room in an actual hospital. There are horses I think that maybe visit nursing homes and things like that, but to actually go inside a hospital and to ride the elevator and do room to room visits, he is the only one," said Kim Gustley with Victory Gallop.
And while he may be small in stature, the impact he leaves behind is a big one.
"She was smiling. She is happy now and not quite as bored I don't think," said Queen.
"It brings happiness and joy and it gives the parents and the child something to talk about, something for the staff to talk to the children about. So, it's fun," said Gustley.
Petie usually spends about an hour visiting with patients. His handlers say he can see as many as 20 kids within that time.

Some people in Keokuk say their neighbors are smoking them out with their outdoor wood furnaces.
One woman said the problem got so bad that she went to the city with their concerns.
"It takes your breath away. I don't know how to describe it. My eyes burn, my throat burns, I can't swallow."
This Keokuk resident, who said she was afraid to go on camera because she is feuding with her neighbor, describes how she feels when her neighbor is running his outdoor wood furnace next door.
Keokuk Mayor Tom Marion says wood furnaces have become popular because of the money people can save on their energy bills.
"Normally they're out in the country and that's where you see them, but now they are moving into towns, not just Keokuk but other towns," said Marion.
Marion said the city received a complaint from a resident about the smoke from a neighbor's furnace and said that's what got the city council talking.
They're now proposing an ordinance that would force residents to increase the height of their flue, if neighbors complained of smoke.
Keokuk City Council Member John Helenthal, who also has an outdoor wood furnace, said he did have an incident with his neighbor over his furnace in the past.
"The air was real heavy. One of them real heavy days and it was blowing and it was blowing directly at my neighbors and with bad weather coming, I didn't give it a thought," said Helenthal.
But Helenthal said he worked with his neighbors and solved the problem.
"I extended the flu up to about 42 feet off the pad. That for the most part does a real good job," said Helenthal.

Up to a certain point it does have its entertainment value, but then ...
Perhaps. Improper error handling should not happen in a perfect world. However, I hope you will concede that Canon can only test and recreate error conditions it has control over. That's the case for any software development process. We have no idea what Kenko is doing in their reverse engineering efforts that causes a camera to lock up, and that's really my point - neither does Canon.
I'm sure Canon has protocol analyzers, and it's a fairly simple protocol, as I understand it. I doubt Kenko is doing much more than passing the data unmolested to the lenses and returning the responses, multiplying the focal length on the way back through. They don't even modify the lens ID information, I don't think.
My bet is that the Kenko extenders don't support some added command that the body is sending, but because the camera doesn't know it is there, the camera expects to be talking to a lens that does support that command, and fails on some assert when the "lens" says "I don't know how to do that". If that's the case, then the camera just needs to fall back to doing what it would do for an older lens that doesn't support that command rather than failing when the TC fails to pass the unknown command on to the lens.
That said, I'm half tempted to borrow an SPI to USB adapter and see exactly what's going on. Or maybe even buy one for $30:
That, a sacrificial full-electrics extension tube, and about fifteen minutes will tell you everything you need to know about what's happening. Well, that, and a Canon TC to compare the results.
As a programmer, I would have included a fail safe timer in the camera OS.... So many seconds have gone by without a refresh, force a reset.....
Canon is not responsible for Kenko's problems, but their camera should not lock up under an error condition, it should at least display an error code.....
Bad code is bad code. If your code doesn't do proper error handling, your code is s**t, period. It doesn't matter what triggered that code to crash. It's still a security hole waiting to happen. And as I said, bad code in one part almost invariably means that you have bad code throughout. These sorts of problems lead me to the inevitable conclusion that their entire firmware is probably held together by shoestrings and bailing wire. That's not very reassuring, speaking as someone with $15k invested in Canon gear.
The part that's more infuriating is realizing that a one-line bug fix would probably make these things work, if we could just get the bug report past the CSRs to the engineering team.
If the camera refused to recognize the lens, we could blame either Kenko or Canon, but because it crashes the whole camera, Canon is entirely at fault.
Nope, Canon does not say Kenko tcs work with their cameras, why should they be responsible if they don't? If you try to superglue a Nikon lens on your ef mount and it doesn't work, would you complain to Canon?
I would expect it to not work, but if it caused the camera to lock up, yes, I would complain.A third party makes a item that doesn't work with Canon, and you expect Canon to fix it??
Yes. This is what we computer programmers refer to as "code smell". In my nearly three decades of computer programming experience, I've found two rules to be almost invariably true:
- A bug like this is typically caused by a division by zero error, failure to do proper bounds checking, or other extremely sloppy programming—the sort of mistake that should almost never occur in shipping code and, once discovered, should never make it into a second revision of that production code.
- If there's sloppily written code in one part of a piece of software, there's usually sloppily written code throughout the software in question. After all, if the QA department didn't catch such an easily reproduced bug, they probably didn't catch lots of even more serious bugs.
Quality products simply do not crash reproducibly, period. In most software engineering organizations, a crasher-level bug that is easily reproduced would be considered a block-ship-level bug, whether the company guarantees compatibility with that other product or not. And proper engineering organizations—even the ones that don't guarantee compatibility with other companies products—do typically test a heck of a lot of them, and also usually let third-party vendors test their gear with their code long before it ships, so that if they break something, they can fix it before customers notice. That's just common sense based on software engineering best practices. Any company that doesn't do those things is grossly inept, to be absolutely blunt.
Why do almost all respectable software engineering organizations do these things when they don't have to, you might ask? Because above all other things, in the users' minds, attention to detail matters. Users don't care whether it's the manufacturer's fault or the peripheral's fault. They just expect their $1,600 camera to work without crashing, without breaking compatibility with other hardware in a firmware update, etc. When that extremely basic expectation isn't met, it's the fault of everyone the customer can point his or her finger at, including the camera maker. And when that camera maker tries to deflect blame, it just makes them look like they don't care about their customers at all, and makes those customers choose other companies' products the next time.
I guess I'll keep adding to this thread since I am the only person that has it...

I don't know what he considers "running" - but i do alot of trail running and i don't carry anything but my camelbak and maybe some energy bars with me
I have seen some 17-55mm for about $600-700 but they look alittle rough . So I am not to sure if its worth getting a new one and taking real good care of it with a filter or just wait till a nice one comes around.
Im really glad I asked these questions before I spent over a $1000 bucks! I think the 17-55 f 2.8 lens might win! Thank you again everyone!!

Select Route:
The Warrior is a very adventurous and unknown classic. It involves every type of crack climbing there is. Giving too much info will ruin the adventure aspect of the route so I'll keep it brief. Follow the huge dihedral on the north side of Cactus flower tower for five pitches, the last two go straight up the face. Rap the route to descend (two ropes required).
Protection: single rack of cams from .5" to 5". triples of 2" to 3"
