Information for the 2014-15 program is to be confirmed
The Global Career Seminar aims to introduce current business issues, and to provide students with an opportunity to analyze and find solutions for actual problems assigned to them by companies/organizations based in Japan.
The seminar will organize students screened and selected from Kwansei Gakuin University (KGU) and its three partner universities into groups. The students will then be given specific business problems, offered by company representatives from corporations such as Toyota and Panasonic, which they will be expected to analyze and propose solutions. During the fall semester pre-seminar internet sessions linking KGU and Canadian university students will be conducted for preparation, and on commencement of the seminar at KGU, further lectures, discussion, and preparation for group presentations will take place. The final presentations will be made to the representatives of the companies that proposed the problems.
9 November 2013 to 22 February 2014.
10 Pre-Seminar Sessions will be conducted using an on-line learning platform.
PLEASE NOTE: Applicants must attend all the Pre-Seminar Sessions stated in the course syllabus. Attendance at real-time interactive online sessions is mandatory. The sessions will be conducted in the morning Japan time and in the evening of the day prior for all Canadian locations. The course syllabus outlines the session dates and discussion topics for the course.
17 February ~ 22 February 2014 conducted at the Nishinomiya Uegahara Campus of KGU (during Reading Week for Canadian students). Depart for Japan on 14 February and enter accommodation on 15 February. Depart for Canada on 23 February.
The TENTATIVE course syllabus for the 2013-14 GCS course is posted below for reference.
2013-14 CCC Global Career Seminar course syllabus DRAFT (38KB)
The Global Career Seminar is a 3 credit course at KGU which is considered equivalent to a 3.0 unit course at Queen's University. The credits will be awarded by KGU and Queen's students can arrange to have the credits transferred to their Queen's degree program by applying for an International Letter of Permission (ILOP) through the International Programs Office (IPO).
KGU will provide the participants with shared accommodation (without meals) at no charge during the program in Japan.
Queen's University students will pay standard tuition fees to Queen's for the course in accordance with fees that are posted on the Office of the University Registrar website for Winter Term 2014 courses. Please visit the fees section of the University Registrar's Office website for details ($195.90 per unit for domestic students). Students may decide to drop one of their 3.0 unit winter term courses in order to count the Global Career Seminar course as one of their winter term courses for the 2013-14 academic year.
¥80,000 JASSO scholarship will be available for participants who have good academic standing. Eligibility information for the JASSO scholarship is available below for reference.
Qualifications for 2013-14 JASSO Scholarship (140KB)
¥30,000 - this is an estimate; participants will be informed later of the final amount. The program fees will be deducted from the ¥80,000 scholarship, or collected separately upon participants' arrival at KGU. Students are also responsible for their own travel insurance, meals and train tickets between their hotel and KGU (¥300 for a single ticket).
Students are responsible for their airfare. The airfare is approximately ¥210,000 for Toronto-Osaka return ticket as of 11 September 2013. Students participating from Mount Allison University or Queen's University will also be responsible for their own transportation to Toronto. Regarding flight arrangements, flight ticket will be arranged by either KGU or by each student. This will be decided at a later date.
19 Canadian students will participate in the program. The number of places for each university is as follows:
Applicants must have completed two semesters of study at their home university as of 31 January 2014. Applicants must attend all the Pre-Seminar Sessions stated in the course syllabus. Attendance at Real-time interactive online sessions is mandatory. The sessions will be conducted in the morning Japan time, which will therefore be in the evening of the day before that stated in the syllabus. Students must also be in good standing, i.e. not on academic probation.

Get this recipe courtesy of 24 Grille Chef Christian Borden.
Serves 4
20 oz of cooked pasta, we prefer trotolle pasta
2 cups of heavy whipping cream
1 cup of shaved/grated Vermont sharp white cheddar
1/2 TB of sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
4 TB grated parmesan
8 TB toasted bread crumbs
2 TB butter
2 TB extra virgin olive oil
4 spritz white truffle oil
Cooking the Pasta:
Follow the manufacturers recommendations for length of time.
At the restaurant we cook and cool our pasta ahead of time. We never rinse our pasta in cold water after cooking. We strain our pasta and toss it in a touch of olive oil and lay it out on a sheet tray to cool. This allows all the starches that are left in and on the pasta to help thicken our cream and give texture to the final sauce.
Always salt your water to the degree of sea water. That is usually about 3 TB per gallon of water.
Making the Bread Topping:
Take stale bread and remove the crusts.
Freeze the bread for an hour or two in a freezer.
Remove the bread and grate the bread across the course side of a box grater.
The bread will be tossed with a pinch of salt and white pepper.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and stir the hot liquid into the crumbs.
Toast these crumbs in a 350 degree oven until golden brown.
Assemble the Dish:
Place a pan over medium heat. Put the butter and oil in the pan.
When the butter melts add the pasta.
Toss the pasta in the oil mixture.
When the pasta is heated through add ½ of the cream.
Let the cream come to a boil and coat the pasta.
Add the Vermont white cheddar. Toss the pasta to distribute the cheese.
Add the salt and pepper to taste at this point.
Add the second half of the cream. Reduce to a creamy consistency.
Spritz the mold(s) with white truffle oil. Gently pour the pasta into the molds.
Evenly distribute the pasta and then pour any remaining sauce over the noodles.
Sprinkle the parmesan over the noodles.
Sprinkle the toasted bread crumbs onto the noodles.
Place molds into the oven for 3-5 minutes to get everything toasty warm and serve on a lined plate or trivet.

Kicks In Space-------
The latest of Tom Sachs' forays into space will take him to Mars—or at least as close as you can get with the Park Avenue Armory as your launching pad. Sachs, the fashion-favorite artist/provocateur who's made space travel a particular fascination (when he's not erecting giant Hello Kitty idols outside Lever House), brings Space Program: Mars to the cavernous Armory for a month-long installation beginning tomorrow. For the show, he's created all of the viscera of a beginning-and-after space mission—in the words of the official statement, "exploratory vehicles, mission control, launch platforms, suiting stations, special effects, recreational amenities, and Mars landscape"—and, to dress the part, a new capsule collection in collaboration with Nike, dubbed NIKECraft. Would-be Sachs-tronauts can suit up in a sneaker (the Mars Yard Shoe, above, $385), trench, jacket (printed with the periodic table), and tote, all of which will be available at the exhibition space's pop-up gift shop as well as at stores like Dover Street Market, Colette, 10 Corso Como, Union in Los Angeles, and at Opening Ceremony online beginning May 18.
Space Program: Mars opens tomorrow at the Park Avenue Armory, 643 Park Ave., NYC, www.armoryonpark.org.
Proenza Schouler: From The Armory To Art Central?-------
Another addition to the constantly evolving fashion week schedule: We hear that Proenza Schouler will not be showing at the Park Avenue Armory, where the label has presented its last three collections. Instead, it seems that the design duo may be heading to a space in West Chelsea, a neighborhood that seems every season to be a showing ground for more designers. Already confirmed in various venues there for Fall 2009 are Marchesa, Thakoon, and Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti.

Police say they now know who has been making 'Purge' posters, and will be confronting them soon.
The city of Albany is helping women get into shape.
Around 20 women gathered at the Jackson Heights Fitness and Wellness Center for a Night of Fun for Women Only.
They got a lesson on using free weights and tried hip hop abs and other exercise dance routines.
Organizers say they want to reach woman who might not be comfortable working out in front of others, especially men.
"I think after they leave tonight and when they come back they won't be intimidated to try something new. We had a bunch do hip hop abs that have never done it before, but they did it tonight because there were no men in the building, so I think they'll do it now," said Donna Rountree.
Folks from the YMCA were also there to measure body mass index.
The Recreation and Parks Department plans to hold the event again soon.

Check out the latest issue of The Change Agent - Immigration on its new website!
Immigration is a hot button topic in the United States, and this issue explores it in a way that is accessible, engaging, and humanizing. Immigrants share inspiring, courageous, and sometimes heartbreaking stories of their journeys to the U.S. Non-immigrants provide their perspective as people in "receiving" communities, who are richly affected by new waves of immigrants.
Place-Based Education for Rural Communities:
Applying Lessons from the Youth Agriculture Project
Presented by Jack Glade, Executive Director
The Tutorial Center, Inc.
Bennington, Manchester, and Danby, VT
View the recording and PPT
Since 2006, The Tutorial Center, Inc. has reengaged dropouts and at-risk youth using gardening and community involvement. The Youth Agriculture Project (YAP) recruits youth ages 16-24 for work crews that grow vegetables, earn ServSafe food handling certificates, work at farmers' markets, donate food to community programs, operate a local Food Network, and complete community projects. Through this place-based education, participants gain confidence, improve soft skills, develop literacy and academic skills in real-world settings, build transferable job skills, earn an employment credential, and are re-energized about their educational paths. 90% re-enroll in education following their YAP experience! YAP has also greatly increased the public visibility of The Tutorial Center at local and state levels, and added organizational funding streams including workforce development funding and community development funding. This webinar will speak to the lessons learned from this innovative project and how they can be applied to ABE contexts.

Frank Hertel of Newman-Kees Consulting offers
a new approach to laying out and labeling a project's front panel, all in one simple
On the computer, create a rectangle that
represents the area of the panel on which your project's controls and
connectors will be mounted. Add the layout markings for drilling the mounting
holes, as well as the lettering needed to identify each control.
Once you've identified and labeled the mounting
holes, print the drawing to scale on a regular piece of paper. Next, tape the
printed artwork to the project's (blank) front panel.
With the artwork taped into place, use a
spring-loaded center punch and mark each drill point. Then drill each hole to
the size needed for each control or indicator. Frank recommends you make a border
or artwork alignment mark on your front panel. This will make affixing the
panel artwork easier, as it is pasted onto the surface of the front panel.
contact glue helped affix the final printed artwork to the project's front panel.
Apply the glue only to the front panel. This will assure an easier, less messy,
application of the final printed artwork. Don't use too much spray-on glue or
your artwork will not lie down without bubbling.
Once the glue is applied, move quickly to place
and align your final printed artwork with the holes you drilled in the panel.
After applying the printed artwork, lay the
panel face-down on a flat surface to dry. After drying, you can spray a light protective coating, such as satin
urethane varnish, on the artwork.
Once the protective coating has dried, use a fine-pointed-blade
knife to excise the control hole openings. Cuts are shown in Fig. 2.
Caution: Do not try to rush
the drying of the protective coating by baking it in the oven or blowing a fan on
it. Drying too fast will cause the edges of the printed artwork to ripple and
loosen from the panel.
Fig. 3 shows
the controls awaiting the finished front panel. Fig. 4 shows the completed
Give it a try and dress up the look of
your next project the easy way.

engineers and qualify for SBE recertification credit. Send tips to firstname.lastname@example.com. Fax to (603) 472-4944.

Both wineries are biodynamic, a method which aims to improve the health of land and its surrounding ecosystem through farming.

A word from Black Cat
Black Cat Farm Table Bistro serves inspired, organic cuisine based on the just-picked produce from its own 130 acre farm. By day, Chef-Farmer Eric Skokan cares for the vegetables out in his fields. Each evening finds him in the kitchen crafting dishes on his daily changing menu.Continued
The restaurant's wine list places the great wines of the world side-by-side with small, off-the-beaten-path producers from lesser-known regions. Daily pairing menus give our sommeliers ample opportunity to dip into the 400+ selection cellar, and vary in focus from Northern Italy to organic wines of the Pacific Northwest. Hand-crafted, seasonal cocktails featuring artisanal spirits and local ingredients show the talent of our professional mixologists who make our bar spring to life. The Black Cat has a lively, warm atmosphere in its intimate dining room.

- Outstanding dining experiencecolofoodieDined on 8/22/2014My husband and I chose Black Cat for a "date night" and were very pleased with the entire experience. We did both the Chef's Tastimg menu and the wine pairings. Everything was very fresh (love the farm to table concept) and the wines were very good. We especially liked the smoked trout and the rabbit terrine. We stayed for 2 and 1/2 hours and never felt rushed. The staff answered all of our questions and the chef visited the table twice.

- Unexpected delightKristinXODined on 8/21/2014Our group of 6 did not know what a treat we were in for when I made reservations at Black Cat! It was described to us as "farm to table", but it is much more! I would say it was the best farm to table food I have had. The story behind Black Cat, and the Black Cat Farm where the food is grown, is a sweet one. The kitchen is proudly on display behind large glass windows. The ambiance suggests Parisian Romance, and the staff is sincere, knowledgable, and very attentive (but not too much). Next time in, I will be sure to order the Chef's sampling menu! Enjoy! You will not be disappointed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

He described being in the farm fields that morning selecting fresh produce and how his evening dishes evolve from what he discovered there. His energy and talents were quite evident as the entire meal was fresh, finely crafted and delicious. Our somallier complimented not only the dining experience but also the social experience. He has an incredible knowledge of wine and offered wonderful tastings complimenting each plate. He presented them with great technical descriptions and an affable personality that we looked forward to with each course.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing Food in BoulderEarlsDinerVIPDined on 8/16/2014We have enjoyed the dining experience at Black Cat on four different occasions in the last 2 years. We are drawn to the amazing food and wine, but we don't go as often as we would like because it is a bit pricey. Dinner for two, wine, and an overall great experience will cost you $275 with gratuity. If you can afford it...it will be worth it!Special Features:
- Excellent!!! Hasn't been beat yet!JaymesDined on 8/16/2014About 5 days before we ate At fresco and I have to say that black cat is still my fav.

- Amazing!!!Foodcritic1993Dined on 8/1/2014The food is fantastic, and their chef's tasting makes it great for anyone that doesn't want to make choices. You never really know what you're going to get, and as far as I'm concerned, that's a great thing. For those who know exactly what type of food they want, they have a regular menu to make a selection from. The service there is impeccable, I was never wondering where the wait staff was. It is my girlfriend and my favorite dining in the area. It's a must try!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Special night!spoiledDined on 7/20/2014My husband, daughter and I truly enjoyed our experience. We enjoy watching all the Food network shows and recently we have been exploring the local food scene and branching out of our comfort zone.

- Excellent food and great service!amesmieDined on 7/18/2014The food was fantastic and the service was just as good. They are a farm-to-table restaurant so their menu changes daily based on what's in season and what is high quality and available. For this reason, the menu is small, which I like because I'm not overwhelmed with too many choices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful food and serviceDowntownORDDined on 7/16/2014I had the pleasure of dining solo at the Black Cat while on vacation and was seated at the chef's table, which provided a great view of the busy, professional staff. Chef Eric was a kind, accommodating host, and served up an amazing tasting menu that was so much more affordable than anything I would find in my hometown. Being a farm-to-table establishment, the chef places a lot of unique embellishments that really enhance the food (arugula flowers, young coriander seeds, fresh herbs, etc.).

- love2eatveggiesDined on 7/14/2014We had a lovely meal at the Black Cat to celebrate our anniversary. We had the vegetarian tasting menu with wine pairings. The food is so fresh and creative. A few of the delicious courses were turnip soup, fresh ricotta with grilled peaches and local greens, vegetable curry, and berries and panna cotta. These things may sound like you've had them before, but with most of the food grown on Eric's Black Cat Farm and the inventive sauces and garnishes, every bit is a little taste explosion. Service is lovely and attentive. We also brought a dozen people here for a work event last month. There is a private room in the back that's perfect for 10-20 people. Everyone loved the food. They accommodated gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, etc. YumSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Highly recommendeddairyfreeDined on 7/14/2014We made reservations for 6 pm and were seated in a quite nook in the back of the restaurant. The chef and staff at the Black Cat were totally gracious and understanding about my dietary needs. We ordered the duck, rabbit and beef entrees. They were all beautifully prepared and presented at the table. Absolutely delicious! We will definitely be back to treat family and friends experience the joys of a Black Cat dining experience.Special Features:
- Just rightFoodiesDined on 7/12/2014Excellent attentive service without being intrusive. They were out of our wine selection, but the sommelier came right over with other similar selections at our same price point. The charcoutier plate was delicious and the entrees were just the right size and had just the right amount of flavor; absolutely excellent. The noise level was low and we were able to carry on a conversation without feeling like we were raising our voices.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/5/2014They try very hard to make it a fine dining experience. The wait staff was bordering on pretentious, but not very professional. They were very eager to be of service, but dishes were given to the wrong people, etc. The flow of food coming out of the kitchen was also poor, but the food served was very good. Good food cannot overcome awkward service. Both shape the dining experience for me.

- Didn't Disappoint, but Expensive!coloradomomDined on 7/1/2014We were a party of five. One of us did the chef's tasting menu and it was lovely. Just enough food to make you feel like you got your $ worth, but not enough to make you feel stuffed. The rest ordered a la carte. Several of us had dietary issues and they accommodated everyone beautifully. It is lovingly prepared fresh locally sourced food, but not pretentious in any way, very approachable. The interior atmosphere of the restaurant leaves a little be be desired - feels old, and slightly grungy, but the food is the highlight here.Special Features:

The Herald Bulletin
---- — There will be plenty of racing action at Anderson Speedway this Saturday with multiple divisional championships up for grabs on a day sponsored by the United Auto Workers to benefit the fight against breast cancer.
Qualifications for all nine divisions will start at 2 p.m., with racing action staring at 5 p.m. All divisions will be competing in longer than normal feature events with double points on the line.
Several divisions that would normally headline a regular racing card at Anderson Speedway will be sharing the top billing.
The United States Speed Association will be crowning a champion in the inaugural Sprint Car Challenge for non-winged sprint cars. A large field of cars is expected for the season finale. California driver Tony Hunt is the current points leader, but local favorite Aaron Pierce has won four USSA features at Anderson Speedway in the past two years.
Other top drivers expected for the 50-lap feature are Jacob Wilson — the 2013 winner of the PayLess Little 500 — JoJo Helberg, Brian Gerster, Bobby East and Chris Neuenschwander.
The McGunegill Engine Performance Late Models will be in action with Ronnie Rose entering the final event of the season with a comfortable points lead. The one thing that is evident in the MEP Late Models is the balance among the field of drivers.
There have been eight different winners in the 10 races, some ran in conjunction with the ARCA/CRA Top Speed Fabrication Sportsman. Jeff Marcum is coming off two consecutive wins in the division. Other winners this year include Rose, Chris Hacker, Rob Allman, Fred Hopkins, Danny Trent, Trey Craig and Keith Sterkowitz.
Division champions also will be crowned in the NASH 102.5 Thunder Cars, Street Stocks, Front Wheel Drive Oval and Figure-8 divisions, Legends, Thunder Cars and Kenyon Midgets.
In other racing news
It came as no surprise when the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and officials with the IZOD IndyCar Series announced that racing action at the famed track will begin the first week of May.
The IZOD IndyCar Series will be competing in its first ever road course race at IMS to kick off the month leading to the Indianapolis 500.
Adding the IndyCars on the IMS road course makes sense to me, particularly with the race on the Baltimore street course being eliminated in 2014.
I like the idea of running on the IMS road course, I just don't like scheduling the race in the month of May. Just seems to take something away from the Indy 500.
Whether NASCAR wants to admit it or not, the Chase for the championship has become a three-driver battle after only three races. Matt Kenseth leads Jimmie Johnson — the most recent race winner — by eight points with Kyle Busch holding down the third spot.
The other 10 drivers are all almost behind by more points than can be won at a single race. Needing three drivers to stumble more than once is a tall order for those drivers that will be reciting the familiar refrain of long-suffering Cubs fans, "Wait till Next Year."

- Deluxe Wine Trio
-Chateau Ste Michelle Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon: Sourced from Columbia Valley vineyards in eastern Washington, this thoroughly seductive red has a remarkable texture that is driven by fine, peppery tannins. On the palate, there is a tide of ripe, plummy fruit, giving the wine a touch of elegance even as it remains irresistible.
-King Estate Acrobat Pinot Noir: Bright garnet with ruby tint. A nose of sweet cherry, tobacco, earth, raspberry, oak, floral notes. Flavor of blueberry, dried cherry, chocolate and spice. This Oregon Pinot Noir has a silky mouthfeel, lively mid-palate, and a round finish.
-Erath Vineyards Pinot Gris: Fragranced with mandarin orange, ripe pear, and lavender notes, this Oregon Pinot Gris promises silky texture and uplifting acidity that come together with flavors reminiscent of melon, citrus, apple and honey. Classically Erath.
Premium Wine Trio
-Newton Napa County Claret: This dark garnet-colored wine offers spicy aromas of clove and cinnamon layered with dark fruit flavors of black cherry and blackberry supported by juniper and sage. The dark fruit flavors carry through to the palate, combining with dark chocolate notes on the soft mid-palate. Dusty, fine-grained tannins make this wine an appealing choice now or over the next 5 years.
-St. Clement Napa Chardonnay: This Chardonnay is barrel fermented in 30 percent new French oak, and approximately 85 percent of the blend through malolactic fermentation. The finished wine shows luscious aromas of ripe red apple, cantaloupe, fresh citrus and vanilla bean. On the palate, a creamy mouthfeel introduces flavors of honeydew, pear tarte tatin, lime zest and vanilla spice. The wine finishes with vibrant acidity and a touch of minerality.
-Willamette Valley Argyle Pinot Noir: This wine just sings classic Oregon Pinot Noir with delicate floral notes melding with ripe cherry and raspberry wrapped in a light robe of baking spices. The wine has a rich hued Burgundy color with a sparkling brilliance and great clarity. The wine opens with bright, clean flavors of black cherry and forest berries. The palate adds complexities of clove and nutmeg oak spice and hints of earthy tertiary flavors coming through.

TIOBE Releases its April 2010 Programming Index
C returns to the number one spot after a 4-year hiatus
The TIOBE Programming Community index, which tracks the popularity of programming languages released its April 2010 list and while there wasn't much of a shakeup in the top 10, C topped Java as the number one programming language, the first time in four years.
Outside of the 10 were only a few movers and shakers. Objective C, a language primarily used to develop for the iPhone's OS, went from number 42 last year to number 11. ActionScript, which is used in conjunction with flash, rose by three spots to number 19 and Google's Go language made its debut at 15.
The community index provides a snapshot for the month, but also helps document larger trends. It's no surprise that Objective C saw a bump, as the language has nothing but rise in popularity since the launch of the iPhone and now the iPad. Java continues its decline from the 26% share it held in 2001 and Go started strong after being introduced last year, but interest is slowly waning.
The TIOBE index is updated monthly with a mix of third party vendors, engineers and courses contributing to a language's overall rating. For the full list visit the TIOBE software index.

Chris Christie continues touting Jersey job creation
By Caryn Shinske
Published on Friday, June 15th, 2012 at 7:30 a.m.
New Jersey's economic forecast contains a couple of clouds: a slight increase in unemployment and lower-than-expected revenue projections.
But jobs? Jersey's good, according to Gov. Chris Christie.
New Jersey created 17,600 jobs in May, Christie announced during a press conference Thursday at the statehouse. That represents 25 percent of all the jobs created in the country last month and the state's biggest one-month boost in seven years, according to New Jersey Labor Department data.
Touting jobs numbers is not unfamiliar territory for the leader of the so-called Jersey Comeback. In fact, the governor and jobs are a frequent fact-checking topic for the Truth-O-Meter. Let's recap a number of those fact-checks here:
'Top third of all states'
When introducing the fiscal year 2013 budget in February, Christie said the state had added nearly 60,000 private-sector jobs; and that 2011 was the best year of job growth since 2000, putting New Jersey in the top third among all states. Our ruling found differences when looking at how states are compared both in terms of net increase and percentage increase.
To the rescue?
Just hours before delivering his State of the State Address on Jan. 17, Christie released a video on YouTube touting some of his fiscal accomplishments: balancing two budgets without raising taxes, creating 60,000 new private-sector jobs and decreasing the size of government. We determined that the number of state workers had declined during Christie's tenure, and his number for private-sector job growth was correct. But Christie couldn't take all the credit for that growth, our ruling found.
Too much credit
During a nationally televised news conference in October, Christie said New Jersey's unemployment levels had fallen significantly since he become governor, and that the state created 50,000 private-sector jobs compared with 117,000 lost the year before he took office. Our ruling found the governor's numbers were accurate, but he took too much credit for the Garden State's job growth.
'A stretch'
Christie also cited the 50,000 jobs growth statistic in August, noting the growth had occurred since the introduction of his first budget in March 2010. Our investigation determined that the governor's numbers were mostly accurate, but a number of experts and economists we spoke with said it would be "a stretch" to prove that his budget directly impacted job growth.

A young boy from north Georgia is hoping a trip to a Memphis hospital will help control his daily seizures.Emery Evans looks like any other healthy 6-year-old boy, but his parents – Quea and Torey – say that the Jefferson boy has had seizures since he was 2. He now has from 15 to 20 a day. Sometimes they're silent, other times they're not. "He has been to Scottish Rite, he has been to Egleston, he has been to local hospitals -- still no answers. Doctors don't know exactly why he's having seizures and the nature of seizures," said Quea Evans.Emery's doctors want him to go to Le Bonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis, which specializes in his condition. "It's hard having a child and knowing that it could possibly kill him," said Quea Evans. Quea won't be able to go with her son to Memphis because she has to work and take care of their other two children."We are not financially able for me to go right now," she said. What makes her feel better is knowing her son will stay at the hospital in Memphis until they find answers."They want to keep him until they find out what's going on with him," Quea said. The Evans family is hoping they'll make their trip to the children's hospital in Memphis this fall. They're raising money to help for some of the expenses. If you'd like to help, email: email@example.com

"Ghost Whisperer" co-stars Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jamie Kennedy have reportedly gone their own ways.
The couple has split up following their year-long relationship, says People.com.
"There are people in your life who are just supportive and who just look at you and they see who you are," Hewitt said of Kennedy in 2009 . "[He] really saw who I was as a person more than anybody had ever done in my whole life. I think that's for me when I sort of went, 'Oh, wow.' "
No other details were immediately available.

Josh McKinney figures he has one more trip to the Paralympics left in him. Until then, he's going to try and create that opportunity for others.
The captain of the U.S. National Paralympic soccer team, the Cary resident is working with CASL to create a local youth team for other eligible players aged 5-18 – people like McKinney with cerebral palsy as well as victims of strokes and traumatic brain injuries.
McKinney said similar programs are getting started in Atlanta and San Antonio with the idea of feeding the national team in the future, and he has three players signed up locally already. While Paralympic soccer is played seven-on-seven on a smaller field, the goal is to develop a team that can compete within CASL, which is supporting the project with jerseys and training-field time. An amputee team is a possibility as well.
"That's going to be the biggest part, finding the kids, because there's not as many chances out there for kids with disabilities," McKinney said. "I didn't have something like this growing up. I thought it would be perfect for someone who enjoys soccer and has a disability. If they want to play club soccer, this is a chance for them to do it. Eventually I'd like to get kids with disabilities on a team in CASL so they can compete against able-bodied athletes."
In September, McKinney helped the United States to an eighth-place finish at the Paralympics in London and is one of four finalists for U.S. Soccer's disabled athlete-of-the-year award. A veteran of the 1996 and 2004 Paralympics and the team's all-time leader in appearances, he was shocked at the attention the event got within England.
"My parents went over to London to watch the games and I spent one day with them," McKinney said. "When we came back to the hotel, they were talking about Paralympic soccer on national TV, going over a few of our players, and I was one of them."

COOK COUNTY, Ill. -- A Wisconsin man is charged in a Chicago-area crash that killed Illinois State Police Trooper James Sauter.
Officer Sauter was killed in the line of duty on March 28th when his parked squad car was hit by a semi truck on I-294.
The driver, 25-year old Andrew Bokelman is charged with violating a number of commercial trucking regulations.
Investigators say Bokelman admitted to falling asleep at the wheel, and had no drugs or alcohol in his system at the time of the accident.

Optima Hybrid & Optima Turbo
Why run your engine when you're braking or stopped? Why not capture the energy of a decelerating car and put it to work, in the process saving gasoline and unnecessary engine wear? The Optima Hybrid is simply a smarter, more efficient way to integrate proven innovations with existing automotive technologies. Once you drive the Optima Hybrid, there may be no going back.
Kia's hybrid gives drivers the best of both worlds: class-leading horsepower and class-leading fuel economy. With 206 total horsepower (electric motor and gas engine), Optima Hybrid nevertheless achieves an EPA-estimated 40 mpg on the highway. The Optima Hybrid's powertrain is paired with advanced lithium polymer batteries, a more advanced, compact and lightweight battery than those used on some other hybrids. These more powerful batteries also allow the vehicle to cruise at speeds as high as 62 miles per hour in zero-emission, full-electric drive mode. When slowing, the gasoline engine shuts off as regenerative braking charges the batteries; and when the car comes to a stop and the electrical load is low, the Optima Hybrid is fully battery-powered, using no gasoline and producing zero emissions.
While it offers the fuel savings of an economy car, the Optima Hybrid also offers the available luxuries of a fully-appointed midsize sedan: an eight-way power adjustable driver's seat, heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, dual zone automatic temperature control, as well as a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel. Technology features include a
push-button start with smart key, Supervision
meter cluster and an LCD display, a navigation system with back-up camera and SiriusXM Traffic
, an eight-speaker Infinity® audio system, and available auto-dimming mirror with Homelink® and compass.
The Optima Hybrid also offers unprecedented consumer protection. A 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile roadside assistance plan are only part of the vehicle coverage.
To learn about all of Optima Hybrid's technologies and advantages, visit kia.com/optima/hybrid.
Under The Optima badge, Kia introduced not only its first hybrid, but also its first turbocharged vehicle. Pumping out a jaw-dropping 274 horsepower and 269 pound per feet of torque behind its sleek exterior, the turbocharged Optima is truly a driver's car that delivers V-6-type performance while maintaining the fuel economy benefits of a four-cylinder. By using a twin-scroll turbo in place of a traditional single-scroll design, Kia has improved combustion efficiency for more low-end and immediate power. The resulting turbocharged 2.0-liter direct injection four-cylinder is mated to a six-speed Sportmatic® transmission, allowing drivers to choose the automatic mode or clutch-free manual shifting for a sportier driving experience.
The athletic SX trim looks just as fast as it feels, thanks to touches like 18-inch alloy wheels, HID headlights, LED taillights, and a rear spoiler. Inside, the instrument panel is contoured toward the driver for a cockpit-like feel and features a Supervision™ cluster with an LCD display. Woven black leather seat trim, carbon fiber accents, paddle shifters and metal pedals round out the high performance package.
Rated at an impressive 22 city and 34 highway mpg, the Optima Turbo's superior performance extends all the way to the gas pump.

On consecutive days, the world's most renowned über-talented and petulant strikers have scored stunning volleys at Euro 2012. Mario Balotelli scored what most believed to be the best goal of the tournament up until that point with his goal against Ireland on Monday, but Zlatan Ibrahimović might have topped it with his goal against France on Tuesday.
Below the jump, you'll find animated GIF goodness of each goal. Watch them both, then vote for the goal you think is superior.
Here's Balotelli's awesome goal from two angles.
And here's Zlatan's goal, also from two equally delicious angles.
And now, the most important question that has ever been asked: Who had the better goal? People of the Internet, the fate of the world is in your hands.

Two areas on Walker Circle are in need of attention, according to Mayor Randy Stephens. He had asked for an estimate from the contractor working along Horsecreek Boulevard and said he was also going to approach the County Commission to see if they could provide any assistance.
Stephens suggested purchasing pipe and having the city's street department do smaller repairs in front of Burnwell Bible Church of God, where Stephens said water is washing over the street and eroding the street away, and on Doliska Road, where he said water was washing over the road because of a clogged culvert.
Council member George Sides Jr. asked to table this item and have the county engineer come in and look at the projects.
"I would just like to have him come look and get his professional opinion," Sides said. He continued that he didn't want to delay the project, but thought the engineer might have another suggestion on how to remedy the problems.
The council agreed to table the matter until the engineer could look at the problem spots and report back to the city.
The council also discussed the condition of Burnwell Road. A company that has previously mined in the area put up a certain amount of money to repair any damage done to the road from the mining operation. The resolution regarding the matter was passed in 2006. T
he company is now asking that their money be returned based on the fact that he has not received any complaints on the road. Council Member Clyde Nix said the road was not repaired after the mining operation closed two years ago and is still in need of repairs. Stephens said he would contact the company and they could either repair the road or the city could keep the money and use it to repair the road. Sides once again suggested having the engineer look at the road to see what repairs need to be done.
In other business:
•The council discussed a new policy regarding the police officers uniform allowance. Currently the city does uniform buys twice a year, Stephens' proposed changes would make an initial allowance when the officer is hired, an allowance at six months and another on the one-year anniversary of the hire.
•The council voted to send Police Chief John Duchock to the Alabama Police Chief's Conference in Montgomery in January.
•The council approved $200 for decorations for the City of Dora's float in the East Walker Chamber of Commerce's annual Christmas parade on Thursday night. Stephens also recognized the Dora's Neighborhood Watch for their efforts on decorating the float.
•The council approved a bid for $1,240 to have a contractor come in and make minor renovations inside city hall.
•The council rescheduled the next regular council meeting from Dec. 25 to Dec. 20.
•Stephens reminded residents that trash put into the cans for city pickup must be in bags. Loose trash placed in the cans is not acceptable.
•The city will host its first Winterfest event this weekend at the city's civic center. The event will be open to the public on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The Tigers, who had given up 40 or more points in each of their last three games, jumped on top of the Mustangs early and pulled away for the victory despite turning the ball over six times on the night.
Shades Mountain Christian, in its second year in the AHSAA, is now 1-15 all-time heading into next week's home game vs. Sumiton Christian.
For Meek (2-6, 1-5), playing its final home game of the season, Ty Griffith, Bailey Heath, Scott Irving and Zac Roberts scored touchdowns against the over-matched Mustangs. Defensively, Dalton Sparks added an interception for the Tigers, who hit the road for their final two games at Shades Mountain Christian and Lynn.

A Native American sculpture garden project will not be going forward as planned. In a four to three vote the Rapid City Parks and Recreation Advisory Board denied the First Nations Sculpture Garden project planned for Halley Park.
A crowd of people showed up to listen and voice their opinions about the project. Some say they liked the idea of the sculptures but thought the location, with no parking and busy streets, was not ideal.
Those for the project say it wasn't meant to be a tourist attraction but a place to reflect on Native American history. They also say a Native American Museum at the same location did well there.
"Some of the people on the board were saying it's not the right spot because of the location and the traffic and everything. It all boils down to we're Native Americans and we're asking for something they're not going to give us," said Tim Giago of Rapid City.
"I think the sculpture garden looks like it would be a beautiful, wonderful project but this is not the right location," said MArgie Jurrens of Hermosa.
People against the proposed project say a better location for the sculpture garden would be near the Journey Museum.

Islamic investments expected to top £1.3 trillion
Today's announcement by David Cameron reflects the Government's determination to tap into the fast-growing global market in Islamic investments, which have risen by 150% since 2006 and are expected to be worth £1.3 trillion next year.
Jodie Ginsberg, from financial think-tank Demos -said: "But we should also use this forum as an opportunity to consider how the principles of Islamic finance itself, not just the money generated in the Muslim world, might be applied in the UK.
"Islamic finance is one of the few models successfully to have weathered the 2008 credit crunch and its aftermath. We should investigate if it perhaps could provide the long-term, patient capital that many enterprises need to survive and thrive."

Wellesley firefighters who saved dog to appear on 'Ellen'
A group of Wellesley firefighters are heading to Hollywood.
The team, who rescued a golden retriever named Crosby that had plunged through the ice on the Charles River last month, will appear on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" to be recognized for their daring rescue.
The announcement was made on the Wellesley Fire Department's Facebook page. The show will be broadcast on Tuesday at 4 p.m.
"I am going to have to post this very slowly to fully allow it to sink in….On Tuesday the 14th, four of our Wellesley Firefighter members will be on the Ellen Degeneres Show!!! One more time to allow it to marinate for a bit," the post reads. "Four of our Wellesley Firefighter members will be on the Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday the 14th."
The trip to the TV screen isn't the only acclaim the firefighters have received for their heroism. They also received the Compassionate Fire Department Award from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
"The compassion and heroism shown by the Wellesley Fire Department is an inspiration," PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman in a statement last month. "Wellesley is very fortunate to have first responders who are ready to protect and serve both residents and their beloved animal companions."

The running water at Mojave Bar and Grill is making a mess of Schaefer Highway between Fenkell and Chalfonte. The sidewalks are caked with ice and part of the road is completely blocked off.The problem is also affecting nearby businesses. "[We're] pretty much trapped by the ice. We can't get in or out of my parking lot," says Mike Geraghty. He owns AAA Lawnmower just down the street from Mojave. He says water has been pouring out of the building for about a week and a half. The Mojave owner was given an eviction notice in June and the pipes inside likely burst during the thaw following our first cold snap. While Fox 2 was on the scene Monday a crew arrived and turned off the water, something Geraghty says did not happen when a crew was there last week. "The guy went down, looked at the building and couldn't figure out how to shut the water off," Geraghty says.Detroit's water department is urging people to report water main breaks and burst pipes at abandoned buildings ASAP. Residents across town on near Lappin and Redmond are concerned about a big water main break in their neighborhood.

Good Day all,
I decided to start a new post, I searched distributor & distributer and can't seem to find any size for the bushing required to rebuild the distributor. I did find a part #373 577 R91. Does anyone have the specs so that I can go to a local supplier to get one.
Most parts, I have to ship from the US and shipping and duty is hard on the wallet, plus its a 14 day wait from the time the item is shipped. I would like to have the bushing in hand before I tear this one down.
Thanks once again,

Rutland Mayor Chris Louras reminisces about the city's last three mayors, but now his predecessors are back at City Hall.
"But I can't recall any time where the current mayor, who obviously is serving in office, but also in this case the two former mayors are also serving the city. I don't think that has ever happened before," Jeff Wennberg said.
Wennberg was Rutland City mayor from 1987-1999 and still holds the record for the youngest and longest-serving mayor. Now, he's got a new role. Wennberg was appointed public works commissioner.
John Cassarino was next in line for the mayor's seat. He served from 1999-2007. He's now back in elected office, winning a seat on the Board of Aldermen. He had retired for six years to battle cancer. He says he ran for alderman due to a lack of qualified candidates and his history in office.
"There are a lot of young guys out there-- and I know what it is to be young, but you don't know what it is to be old," Cassarino said with a laugh.
The three mayors have worked together for decades-- a combined 50+ years. During their long history together, it hasn't always been a smooth ride. In response to a Rutland Herald article, Cassarino wrote an opinion piece saying the public was being misinformed about his time in office through misleading statements that have been peddled by politicians, including Mayor Louras.
"I am hopeful that was just campaign rhetoric. And I am confident that we will be able to work together in the future," Louras said.
Despite some past quarrels, all three say they look forward to working collaboratively.
"Mayor Cassarino was on the board for many, many years. He was on the board and board president when I was mayor. And he was an excellent board member. He was a terrific board president as well. Seeing him back there-- you know, it takes me back!" Wennberg said.
It might take him back, but all three men are hoping for a brighter future for the city.
