Overview of Assessment Reporting
Contact: Wayne Hooke | 971-722-4779 | firstname.lastname@example.com; Michele Marden | 971-722-4786 | firstname.lastname@example.com
Assessment Reporting Templates and Resources, or links to them, are found on this page. Assessment is an ongoing activity where SACs submit yearly reports. Please read General Information for 2013-2014 which appears directly below. Scroll down for links specific to CTE and LDC.
General Information for 2013-2014:
- Different Reporting Structure: Annual assessment reporting has been broken up into two parts: Annual Plan and Year-End Report. Deadlines for each are given below.
- Multi-Year Plan: Periodically Subject Area Committees (SACs) also submit a Multi-Year Plan. This is due this year.
- Opt-in to New Template Format: SACs can choose to opt-in to the new template structure (called Option 1). We hope that most SACs will choose Option 1 and provide feedback on the new templates. However, for this year, SACs may choose to use the templates that are similar to last year's reporting form (called Option 2). The same option should be chosen for both the Annual Plan and the Year-End Report.

- Maintaining Student Confidentiality: Read more at Student Permission.
- Questions/Concerns? Contact your assessment coach 2013-2014 LAC SAC Coaches
Career Technical Education (CTE) Programs
- CTE SACs directly assess their degree and certificate outcomes. Since the degree and certificate outcomes have been mapped to the institutional outcomes, the Core Outcomes are indirectly assessed.
- Since CTE SACs are responsible for their own degree/certificates, assessment
of all their degree/certificate outcomes should occur within a two-year cycle.
If your SAC has several degrees/certificates with unrelated outcomes, please
contact your coach to discuss the possibility of a longer cycle.
- CTE Programs, click here to go to 2013-2014 templates. For more information about the new templates, read the CTE Overview. Send finished plans and reports to email@example.com.
- Some CTE programs do state TSA (Technical Skills Attainment) assessments. For more information about TSAs, click here.
Lower Division Collegiate (LDC, or Transfer) and Developmental Education (DE) Disciplines
- LDC SACs have a collective responsibility to ensure students are attaining the outcomes of the transfer and general education degrees (AS, ASOT/B, AAOT, and AGS). The institutional, or Core Outcomes, are the basis of these degrees.
- LDC SACs should assess at least four of the six Core Outcomes robustly on a cycle of at least two per year. Ideally, LDC SACs assess all six Core Outcomes.
- LDC Programs, click here to go to 2013-2014 templates. Send finished plans and reports to email@example.com.

Is there any way to render hindi characters on canvas in j2me using there unicode values .
Is there any way to render hindi characters on canvas in j2me using there unicode values .
You can render Hindi Characters if your device's firmware supports Hindi.
I had a previous similar discussion, have a look at this thread http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...ighlight=hindi
can u please give us a clue about rendring of URDU test in J2ME??and how to display list on a key stokr from numeric key pad??for e.g. we want to display a list showing 3-4 urdu alphabets for a single key press in j2ME?reply soon please it's urgent!
In Nokia Asha 305 and 311, I am able to render hindi character on screen. Like, I am able to render it in textfield and in label but while I submit this data I am getting ???? in backend. Can anyone give me hint on any solution for this issue?
Here is some of the code snippet.. Also one thing I forgot to mentioned earlier is I am using LWUIT framework.
My simple textfield on the form is:
TextField userNameText = new TextField();
Label userNameLabel = new Label(UtilBean.getMyLabel("Username")); //getMyLabel method will fetch appropriate Hindi conversion of Username from RMS
I am able to type in Hindi in this text field and also able to render Hindi value in userName label. So no issue with the rendering. But when I click on Login button at backend side I am getting value entered in this textfield in a format of ???????. I am retriving textbox value using userNameText.getText(). After that I am passing this value to web service for server side authentication.
Few More Inputs:
This entire flow working fine with the English language. Also, I have submitted hindi data to web service using SOAP UI. It works well.
This is certainly not the code which is sending text over the network. Anyway, remember that XML (and thus SOAP) uses 8-bit character encoding, usually UTF-8. Are you using getBytes("UTF-8") or something similar? Also make sure that the encoding is reverted on the server side.
Hi All,
I am developing an application in j2me for s40 series. I want to change my application font to hindi . Is it possible in j2me? If possible please give me the steps for doing this.
Check the thread suggested in #2, it seems to be a rather deep one with lots of suggested readings.
hi wizard_hu_ this link not opening in my broser http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...ighlight=hindi .
If you want to copy the link, do not select the text with ..., but use right-click and "Copy link address" or similar thing. Visual part of the links are shortened automatically, if I put the link here it will again contain a ... part: http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...ad.php?t=72565

How To Cope with Sickness, Health Concerns, and Conditions
Surgery Stress Relief Techniques
Having surgery can bring a lot of stress. Aside from worrying about potential complications, even minor surgery (if there is such a thing) involves risk and requires recovery time. Here's how to relieve some of the stress from surgery, and speed healing, too!
Doctor-Patient Stress Relief
The doctor-patient relationship is a very important one. Dealing with health issues, whether major or routine, can be stressful, and the relationship you have with your doctor can exacerbate or minimize some of that stress. The doctor-patient relationship, and doctor-patient communication, can impact how you feel about yourself during a vulnerable time, and can affect your health in several ways as well. Read more about that here.
Help! What Are Some Effective Strategies For Coping With Illness?
When diagnosed with a serious condition, stress can increase the difficulty of coping with illness. And, according to a recent poll on this site, a significant percentage of people believe that stress may be at least in part responsible for a serious illness.

It's the 7th annual Apple Dash.
The Bismarck Public Schools Foundation hosts the event at Hughes Field every year to benefit the local school system and keep families active together.
This year's Apple Dash is partnering with Team Myla to raise money for any student or staff who may need help with medical costs.
Team Myla was organized last spring to support Myla Wescom, a long time special education teacher, in her battle against cancer.
Lots of youngsters are also helping out with the cause, while having a lot of fun.
Here's a look at the "mini apple quest" obstacle course for kids five and under.
Instead of running for several miles, these little girls and guys have to overcome several obstacles on a race around Hughes Field.
Luckily a cross country runner was leading the pack in case anyone got lost or distracted.
And you can hear by these little guys running through the tunnel, that this obstacle course is a lot of work!
Everyone who participated today did get a ribbon.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

At the Last Meeting of the Fiat Bottle and Pottery Club
Everyone else in the family has gone to Scouts, and the dog and I have been abroad in the town. This is how I know that, while nothing but nothing is happening tonight, the recent past has been enlivened by a meeting of the Fiat Bottle and Pottery Club. Also, I've missed the Relay4Life Yard Sale, which is a shame, because now I'll be up all night trying to visualize a relay yard sale. How does that work, exactly? You pick up a Mildred Q. Rupman commemorative figurine-slash-floor lamp (minus cord and shade), note that the seller wants seventy-five cents for it, and pass it to the lady in the hair curlers, who hands it to her husband, saying, "Put that in the car, too, Dinsmore, you might as well?"
I might have gone to the relay yard sale, except that it happened on Saturday, and I only saw the sign tonight; also, the sign declined to divulge any information pertaining to location. Apparently you just had to know. The Prohibition era had its speakeasies; we have our Mystical-Knowlege Relay Yard Sales. Ah, well. At any rate, I thought about starting a short story about the Fiat Bottle and Pottery Club, but as you see, I never got past the opening phrase.
I suppose that there are people who find small towns boring. My observation is that many people who grew up in small towns would, in their adult lives, rather live on a potash collective on Neptune than in a small town. But then, my observation is that many people believe that anyplace that they didn't grow up -- even a potash collective on Neptune -- is bound to be better in every way than wherever they did grow up, not necessarily because there's anything wrong either with their hometowns or with them as people, but because anonymity is a freeing thing. I don't necessarily mean anonymity as in, nobody knows who you are. We hadn't lived in Fiat for fifteen minutes before I overheard somebody cycling past our house remarking to her companion that a new family with four children had just moved in. No, what's freeing is that the place itself is anonymous to you. You can spend the rest of your life learning its secrets and still not know them all, or even that many of them. Maybe you'll never know what happens at any meeting of the Bottle and Pottery Club, or who belongs to it. Nice bottle, Dinsmore. Was that your wife I saw with the floor lamp from the relay yard sale?Maybe no one will ever tell you who it is that plays basketball in the old high-school gym on Monday nights, or by what machinations the brand-new science building at the community college became, overnight, a department of cosmetology. You may never understand the graffiti on the wall of the old Eureka Textile Mill -- We Love Tim! Beer -- and if other people don't get it, either, they may not admit that in your presence.
Meanwhile, the train -- that same train which kept recurring in the Lenten sonnets -- is moaning and shuddering its way through town, on its way to the power plant in Panacea Falls. I do know that secret: where the train goes, rocking and swaying and dripping lumps of coal which my children pick up at the crossing at the bottom of our hill. I know, now, who owns the beagle-Pekingese mix tied to one front-porch support of a peeling house in the next block, and when I hear a screaming clamor at night, as of a yardful of scalded turkeys, I know it's only that dog remarking to some other passing dog that there's room on the porch for one, bub.
The night is coming down, the crickets are whispering in the vinca, the ivy is growing in through the front-porch screen, and even my dog has gone inside. I'm trying to bring all this to some conclusion, but I don't know . . . I don't know . . .

You know much of the backstory to my small town background. I miss it every single day and would live in a small town now if I could swing it financially. Not that things are exactly swingin' here now, but.......... I truly miss it. I enjoyed your sojourn through your small town.

Yes, your small town remains mythic in my own imagination. I cain't hardly pass a water tower even now without hearing a voice in my mind say, "It's gone be green."
I do think of your newspapering adventures all the time. We have here a kind of regional shopper's-news-type paper, in addition to the regular paper, which runs features called "Who Is This?" and "Where Is This?" The "Who Is This" weekly photo is always of some waitress or grocery-store cashier, so that the closest I'd ever get would be to think, "Oh, that's that lady . . . " The "Where Is This" photo tends to be of things like the fourth hole on the Fiat Country Club golf course, or of a totally nondescript pond, or anything else on the theme of "how the heck would anybody know where that is, because it looks like nowhere?"
I know for a fact that some people find this kind of thing oppressive. I find it strangely exhilarating.

When we first moved, we would love to read the 8-page paper that the Tate Co. Democrat sent out in the mail. The back page had news from Thyatira and Antioch and we could read all about who visited whom and who was in the hospital. And some really amazing poetry--although not amazing in the same way that yours is amazing.
I think a story about the Last Meeting of the Fiat Bottle and Pottery Club would be super-fantastic.

Lee County deputies are searching for burglars who they say stole thousands of dollars of electronics from nearly two dozen boats.
Investigators estimate about $43,000 worth of GPS systems were stolen.
We learned this is not the first boat business hit the same way this year.
Expensive electronics turned up missing from more than 20 boats.
"They're brand new boats a lot of them waiting to be delivered," said Jack Buck.
Buck is a salesman at Boater's Landing in South Fort Myers.
He came into to work to find the business had been broken into.
"Wer'e looking for the suspect or suspects who pulled this burglary off," said Tony Schall, a spokesman for the Lee County Sheriff's Office.
Each of these GPS systems cost about $3,000-$4,000.
"They just get in and obviously know what they are doing because they are taking 20 units in probably an hour," said Buck.
We did some digging and found out this is at least the third boat business in Lee County to be burglarized since January.
Salty Sam's Marina and Port Sanibel Marina also had multiple electronics stolen.
Detectives don't know yet if the crimes are related.
"I think it is too early to tell, but we're taking a look at that and processing that as part of the investigation," said Schall.
For now, Buck can only speculate what these crooks are doing with the electronics.
"I think they're taking it out of the state or country and getting it real cheap," said Buck.
And he's thankful the damage wasn't worse
"..because they didn't damage the boats," he said. They're here pulling them out and unplugging them instead of cutting wires
Anyone with information on this burglary is asked to call the Lee County Sheriff's Office.

Volleyball sweeps Savannah State, 3-0
Related Links
The JU volleyball team ended the weekend on a high note with a 3-0 win (25-13, 25-12, 25-13) against Savannah State on Sunday afternoon at Swisher Gymnasium.
The Dolphins (7-5) got a match-high from sophomore Niatha Cullen, while junior Alison Loeppky added eight kills. Sophomore Kendall Courtney tallied five service aces to go along with 34 assists.
"It nice to end a weekend with some momentum," JU head coach Shaun Kupferberg said. "We were able to use several different lineups in the last two matches which will help us in the long run. Now, we look forward to preparing for our final non-conference matches before A-Sun play."
The Tigers (0-9) finished the day with a -0.58 hitting percentage (14-18-69). Asiha Williams and Bianca Helton each tallied three kills to lead the offense.
In the first set, the Dolphins took a 6-0 lead on service ace by Courtney. JU got consecutive kills from Loeppky for a 12-4 advantage, while senior Ashley August extended the score to 21-11 on a service ace. The Tigers picked up two late points, but kills by Loeppky and freshman Nadia Booker gave JU the set.
In the second set, a kill by Brianna Dennis helped the Tigers take a 7-6 lead. The Dolphins regained the lead with a 6-0 run, capped on an attack error, for a 12-7 advantage. JU finished the set on a 13-5 run, capped on two kills from Loeppky.
In the third set, JU recorded an 11-4 advantage from a kill by senior Alliya Drzewiecki. After a kill by Williams made it a 16-8 Tigers deficit, the Dolphins extended the lead to 24-10 on a kill by Cullen to end an 8-2 run. The Tigers secured two late aces, but sophomore Alyssa Robertson added a kill to lock up the win.
The Dolphins are back in action starting Friday with the UCF Challenge in Orlando, Fla. They open with FIU before finishing the next day against UCF or UTEP. JU closes the weekend at Swisher Gymnasium next Sunday with Troy at 5 p.m.

SEOUL, South Korea -- In 2002, 20 North Korean artists escaped from their homeland and fled to South Korea.
They formed the Pyongyang Folk Art Troupe.
Seoul's Korea Export- Import Bank invited them to perform Wednesday demonstrating the traditional dances and songs which are common to the two Koreas.
The Dance Troupe's leader told Journalists in Seoul she hoped for reunification between the two Koreas.
Then the troupe demonstrated what they had learned in their time in the more Westernized South by launching into a "Gangnam style" dance.
South Korean rapper Psy's famous horse riding dance has been performed by people around the world.
Now, it has been added to the folk art performances.
All right, North Koreans, this is what you're missing.

The Browns don't have a winning record through three games because of their play in the first quarter.
Cleveland hasn't scored a single first-quarter point in Weeks One, Two or Three. Opponents have outgained the Browns 314-69 and have run 57 plays to Cleveland's 31.
Luckily for the Browns, they have been better in the next three quarters — and significantly so in the second quarter, where they have outscored opponents 35-12. Overall, the Browns have gained close to 93 percent of their yards on offense in the final three quarters.
The defense has also clamped down as the game has progressed. The Browns have surrendered nearly 36 percent of their yardage in the first quarter.
For the record, the Browns have received the opening kickoff just once, and their offense went three-and-out on their first possession of the regular season.
Both the rushing and passing games have generally sputtered early for Cleveland. QB Colt McCoy especially struggled early in Week Three, completing just 2-of-7 passes for 19 yards.
On Monday, Browns head coach Pat Shurmur addressed the Browns' slow start in the Week Three win vs. Miami, saying the offense needs to be sharper early.
"Well, we've got to find a way to start fast, and we were just watching the tape on offense, and we were running the same type of plays the second half that we were running in the first half. And it was very clear that we were just executing them better in the second half, coming out of the halftime," Shurmur said, according to the club. "That's the message. Listen, guys, relax and just execute. Take the gimmes, get yards on the runs that we're running the football, get into manageable third downs. Let's move the football and find a way to stay on the field."
Poor starts haven't stopped the Browns from winning two consecutive games. But winning consistently after breaking so slowly is tough.

Hiking = Climbing?
should they say that they've dabbled in mountaineering instead? They just go ropeless all the time, no big deal ;)
I dunno, "climber" was shortened from "mountain climber", so it may be that 14er hikers are real climbers and crag rats are just rock climbers!
Here Randy, got you something. Hope it makes you feel better. You can make stickers and slap one on their windshield.
Is it okay to say that I "climbed" out of bed this morning?
In Scotland instead of hiking it is called hill walking.
Funny thread. So does leading a 5.7 sport climb with bolts every 8 feet make you more of a climber, then someone hiking or scrambling up a major peak. If anything the opposite is true. How about gym climbers do you care if someone who only climbs in a gym calls themselves a climber. Personally I would rather go "Hill Walking". But to each, his or her own. If you start at the bottom of something and somehow climb: hike, scramble, or technical rock isn't it somehow climbing. After all there are 6 classes of climbing, the first of which is hiking.
So, we are finally moving past the trad v sport debate, and into the mountain "climbing" v rock "climbing" debate. How novel.
If you are bothered by this, you are probably an insecure gumbie. I've climbed big walls, new routes on desert towers, lots of peaks in places like the Andes, Caucasus, etc. I never bother to differentiate between whether i've hiked up a mountain or climbed one when i do peaks in places like Colorado. It just doesn't matter and you can have a good time climbing/hiking up a peak.
I nominate this thread for the worst thread of the month award
Who cares�.
First...See rule number 6
Rule #6 States (direct quote) "Stop taking yourself so goddamn seriously."
This site is incredible. I can't believe I've been missing out on great threads like this one.
Who knew Fred Durst was a climber? Just kidding Randy. I couldn't resist.
'scrambling' is another Brit term I've heard used for any 3rd class rock hike/climb effort. Some equate it to real rock climbing as we know it. Depends I guess on what side of the pond you live.

General Linguistics
I received 6 responses to my question, half of which were from EndNote users or former users. Also mentioned were Bibliographix, BibDB, and LaTeX/BibTeX. Some details from the correspondants:
Tucker: Has used EndNote for 20 some years. He sees little reason to upgrade past v5.0 (current version available: 7.0). All his colleagues and most grad students use it, he thinks due to a site license. He seems satisfied, but never looked into anything else. Student Price for v7: $109.95
Kimberly: v6 has some bugs, but the patches provided fixed them, and should not exist in v7. She says she is happy with it. Pro: manages citations, organizes separate libraries, plugs in citations while writing papers, downloads citations. Con: the download feature struggles with Portland SU's proxy server.
Paul: once used v4 for Mac, but was frustrated by its inability to preserve font info, such as suprasegmentals.
Christopher: ''It is wonderful, flexible, and does everything I need.''
Martin: The interface is 'old fashioned', he says, but stable. It outputs BibTex files in the background, which can be accessed with LaTeX/BibTeX. Says he is 'very pleased' with the app.
Stephanie: Pro: basically the same features as Reference Manager or Endnote, without the price tag; cite-while-you-write; capacity to write and easily switch citation styles; 13 publication types built-in, plus the capacity to create 3 more of your own. Immediate, uncomplicated service/support, plus a comprehensible handbook. She joined with five other students to buy 6 copies for 60 Euro each. Available in German & English. Designed for compatibility with MS Word, MS Office, and LaTeX apps. Con: None mentioned. States she has not been using long.
D. Will: This is the program I currently use. Additional positives are a useful Basic version anyone can download for free. The basic version has some limitations in reference downloading, as well as printing of references, but it's ability as a database is unhindered. Also, it claims to be more than just a reference management tool, it can be used from first ideas to the finished paper to organize the writing process. Its idea outliner module has some drawbacks, but is a good asset, and could potentially become a very good asset. I have not yet tried the Pro version, but the developers say the database format is exactly the same, so one's work should be totally portable between the two versions.
This is the extent of the information I received from my query, but I am continuing to research the topic. If anyone would be interested in a more thorough treatment of the topic, let me know. I hope to have something more substantial ready by mid-Fall.

(SIOUX CITY, IA) - In light of the violence in Kaufman County, Texas, Siouxland News sat down with Woodbury County court officials to find out how they stay safe on and off the job.
A Texas tragedy has public officials across that state on guard after the Kaufman County District Attorney and his wife were found shot to death on Saturday. The shooting comes just two months after one of the county's assistant DA's was gunned down in a parking lot, just a block from his office.
A county judge and the district court administrator both said this kind of incident could happen anywhere, even here in Siouxland. That's why they're having serious conversations at work and at home
Even here in Iowa, people have been targeting prosecutors. Just last month, a man attacked Story County attorneys and hit them in the face just outside their courthouse offices.
The county attorney there is calling on state lawmakers to make an assault against a prosecutor a felony to help protect county employees in vulnerable positions.

And…that's a wrap! Goodbye 2013, A Happy and Healthy 2014! #HappyNewYear timeanddate.com/counters/newye…—
JenT (@wysiwygjt) December 31, 2013
It feels strange that my very first post of this still wet-behind-the-ears New Year is to let you know that in two weeks' time this site will no longer be updated. I'm not leaving the Internet entirely (heaven knows there are other sites, mine and other people's, to keep me busy), but if you've been following the story so far, you'll have noted that I'm feeling restive and in need of a change. Part of that change is learning where to invest my energy and to overcome the feeling of doing more and more, but being less and less satisfied by it.
The WYSIWYG Blog may be back sometime in the future, but for now, this is something I need to do for myself.
Thanks for visiting and for making me a part of your day. Happy Trails.

NARRAGANSETT ŌĆō The controversy surrounding the proposed changes to a lot in Kentara Green, one of the four remaining Sherry Cottages, continued to grow during Tuesday eveningŌĆÖs planning board meeting with a full house of local residents ready to express their firm opposition.
COVENTRY ŌĆö During a brief press conference held at the Westwood Estates Community Center, GOP gubernatorial Candidate Ken Block spoke out against local legislatures going against the votes of the people in the Central Coventry Fire District to pass the bills that will continue to drive up taxes.
He was joined by Dist. 21 Senator Nicholas Kettle and Dist. 26 Representative Patricia Morgan.
COVENTRYŌĆö A team of engineers spoke before the Coventry Town Council last night to discuss an analysis they conducted on the future population increases and the effect it will have on the capacity of the townŌĆÖs public schools. An investigation of the currently-closed Oak Haven Elementary was revealed as an effort to determine the viability of re-opening the school as a pre-kindergarten, elementary or middle school.
COVENTRYŌĆö The November election will continue as a nonpartisan election as decided upon at the Coventry Town Council meeting Monday evening. In a 2-1 vote, with council member Karen Carlson voting not to put candidatesŌĆÖ affiliation on the ballot and Council President Gary Cote and Vice President Kerry McGee voting to change it back to a partisan election, listing the candidateŌĆÖs party association, it appeared that the upcoming elections would list party affiliations.
COVENTRY ŌĆō Family, dear friends, emergency personnel and town officials celebrated the accomplishments of a man who they consider to be an invaluable role model by holding a ceremony to dedicate the Coventry Fire and Police Alarm Headquarters to Retired Fire Chief Stanley Mruk, now 86 years old.
Diane Hunter, one of MrukŌĆÖs daughters, described what it was like growing up surrounded by emergency services.
COVENTRYŌĆö Hurricane season is here and as a result, National Grid in collaboration with Earth Works, a timely weather provider, is installing WeatherBug monitoring systems to enhance emergency planning and response efforts throughout Rhode Island.
There are currently two fully operating WeatherBug stations in the state ŌĆö in Coventry and Exeter ŌĆö while Hopkinton has agreed to install the system and is in the works of doing so. There are seven other weather stations planning to be installed but those are also still in the works.
WARWICK- After losing to Warwick Continental just two weeks prior in the District 3 11-year-old All Star Tournament, South Kingstown American had one more chance for revenge in the final game of the tournament. South Kingstown needed to win two games to avenge for their loss and win the entire tournament.
On Sunday at Warwick Field, it was a different game, but the same result for South Kingstown, as they lost to Warwick Continental, 10-2, making Warwick the tournament champions.
CHARIHO- The Chariho 10 -year- old All-Star team enjoyed quite the run in the tournament during this All-Star season. However, unfortunately, the team saw their journey to an All-Star championship end on Saturday morning, when they lost to South Kingstown American in Chariho, 10-4. The loss ended a four game winning streak for the team out of the loserŌĆÖs bracket, and the team fell one game short of the final round of the District 3 tournament.
Despite the loss, assistant coach Andy Blanchard couldnŌĆÖt be more proud of his team, and the way they fought throughout the entire playoffs.

Cy-Fair Girl Scout creates prayer garden at local church to earn Gold Award
HOUSTON, Texas (July, 2013) – Girl Scout Candace D. established and landscaped a prayer garden at a local church to earn Girl Scouts of the USA's Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can receive. Less than five percent of girls who join Girl Scouts achieve this national recognition.
"I learned many leadership skills and communication skills that I can apply later on in life," said Candace, a senior at Jersey Village High School. "I also learned how to install a watering system to maintain my garden."
The Girl Scout Gold Award represents the highest achievement in Girl Scouting; it recognizes girls in grades 9 through 12 who demonstrate extraordinary leadership through sustainable and measurable Take Action projects. Since 1916, girls have successfully answered the call to Go Gold, an act that indelibly marks them as accomplished members of their communities and the world.
"After doing the Sow What? Journey and being a part of the Global Green Team, I felt strongly about doing a 'Go Green' project, and my church had the perfect opportunity to help the planet," said Candace.
For her project, Candace led a team of volunteers in landscaping a space at her church to be used as a prayer garden. Candace and her team also installed a watering system to help maintain the garden. She hopes the space will also be used for meetings, Bible classes and more.
"I have watched my daughter struggle at times with this project but am so proud of how she has worked her problems out," said Dawn D., Candace's mother. "I am also quite proud of her willingness to continue care of the garden with the church grounds keeper."
Candace has been a member of Girl Scouts for 13 years and has also earned her Bronze and Silver Awards. At Jersey Village High School she is a member of drill team and Interact club. Following graduation in 2014, she hopes to attend the University of Houston to study international business.

activities and attractions in Kapalua Maui
Maui, called the Valley Isle, may be just a small dot in the vast Pacific Ocean, but it offers myriad experiences. Float weightless through rainbows of tropical fish, stand atop a 10,000-foot volcano and watch the sunrise paint the sky, or wander back in time to the days when whalers and missionaries fought for the soul of Lahaina. The ""real"" Hawaii exists, for sure, from the heart-pounding hike to the volcano summit of Mount Haleakala, to lazing on the sandy beaches.

text: Ironically, this shoe is made for running on roads, while the pace glove is made for running on trails, well, I can easily flip their purposes - I get a much more comfortable ride with the pace glove (trail) shoe on roads - and have tried to run with the road glove dash on roads (what this shoe advertises it's for) and I experience a very uncomfortable, odd foot landing. The road glove dash, even with this "zero drop" does not for me favour a forefoot or mid-foot strike but rather makes me land weirdly around the end of the arch-front of the heel - a very awkward landing. Pace Glove on the other hand promotes for me a forefoot strike and as a result, makes me run more fluidly and efficiently on the roads. I purchased the Road Glove Dash because they were advertised to be road shoes - I'll stick the Pace Glove on roads - they outperform the Road Glove Dash for both walking and running.

People in Metro Atlanta are making a run on guns.
"Guns are like gold, they only increase in value," said Chris Santia, a self-described gun enthusiast.
Santia went to Adventure Outdoors on Tuesday to pick up the handgun he won during an election day raffle at the Symrna.
"It was a Glock 22 Generation 3. It is a 40 caliber. It's a great firearm. I actually have a Glock 19, it is very similar but it is a bigger caliber but it is an awesome gun," Santia said.
According to experts, since the election, gun sales in Metro Atlanta have soared.
Eric Wallace, the manager and co-owner of Adventure Outdoors, told CBS Atlanta News that he's seen a large increase in the number of people wanting to purchase firearms.
"Normally on a Wednesday, for example, we would have probably 600 or 700 people come through," Wallace said. "Last week we had 2,500 people come through. Saturday was a really big day for us and we expect to break records probably next weekend and through the holiday season."
While the number of guns sold nationally after the election were not yet available, experts said it appears that the increase in gun sales is a repeat of what happened in 2008 after President Barack Obama was elected the first time.
According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the FBI conducted nearly 98,000 firearms background checks on Nov. 28, 2008. That's the third-highest number of background checks ever recorded in a single day.
That same year, the FBI conducted 12.7 million background checks. In 2007 it conducted 11.2 million and the numbers have been climbing ever since.
"So many new people are getting into our business now, the shooting range is actually full," Wallace said. "A lot more ladies getting involved."
Some gun buyers told CBS Atlanta News that they fear what will happen to the country under the president's leadership. Others are concerned about an increase in crime.
Santia said people should take it easy.
"People that rush out just because something big changes, other than a zombie apocalypse, there is no need for a gun craze," he said.

Beatles Mania?!
December 16, 2010 - Jennifer Brookens
Is it possible that the anniversary of John Lennon's passing inspired both my daughter AND my cat?!
It all started when there was a special on the 30th Anniversary of John Lennon's death. My husband and daughter watched it together and - being a classic rock DJ - my husband played some of the Beatles music for my daughter when she started asking questions. This is the point where I would think my daughter would get bored and ask to watch the Disney Channel. Instead, as I tucked her in that night, she said, "I'm sad about John Lennon being killed. I liked his music." Oookay... I say, "Well, we could probably find some more for you." She squeals and claps her hands like most kids would about going to Disneyland. It wasn't forgotten the next day, as she keeps asking us to look up some of their songs (sticking with the earliest stuff for now). A week later, it hasn't faded like I thought it would. She swiped my one piece of Beatles gear and has it up in her room now. It's strange to see my Beatles bag next to her iCarly and Disney princess posters, but at least I know she's got well-rounded taste.
Then there's the weird cat angle. For the past week (since that special, perhaps?) one of our cats has been insistent about sleeping on our bed, when he would sleep just about anywhere before. But our bed is where he's been found for the past week or so. We're pretty sure he's not sick, since he still responds promptly to feeding time, no more messes from him than usual, and he can still outrun the other cats when he gets chased. We've begun to joke that he's having his own bed-in like John and Yoko. He gets kicked out of our room at night, since he like to wake us at 4 a.m. by licking any piece of exposed skin. But when we open the door in the morning, he literally zooms back in and launches himself to the spot where we just slept. The little jerk probably thinks we were just warming it up for him. And we know he's not doing it to promote world peace, but simply to cushion and warm up his furry little bones. In a way, I envy him.

Georges St. Pierre will be making his long awaited return at UFC 154 where he faces interim champ, Carlos Condit in a welterweight title unification. The bout headlines UFC 154 this November, and as it is one of the most highly anticipated bouts this year, the marketing machine behind Zuffa has decided to give it the 'UFC: Primetime' treatment.
More will come in the following weeks, but the UFC has already released the first episode of the mini-series which you can watch above.
As always, the clip goes in-depth on both fighters' preparation and aptly delves into the story line of how St. Pierre has been recovering from an ACL injury he suffered late last year.
GSP, who is probably the promotion's biggest star, has already been featured in multiple UFC: Primetime specials. He currently has the most number of appearances on the show, with this being his 4th bout to be on the spotlight of the popular series.

I took my first photograph of Stephan Leonard Groth in 1997. Twelve years after our first photo-shoot, I now find myself making this photo-documentary about touring with Stephan and his life's work, Apoptygma Berzerk.
With over 500.000 albums sold worldwide and reaching the Top Ten in Germany, Apoptygma Berzerk has conquered the world with their electronic and melodic industrial rock. Since starting in 1989, Apoptygma Berzerk would immediately prove their reputation as the most exciting rock act in Norway.
In February of 2009, the `Rocket Science Tour´ kicked off in Germany and went on for many months spanning nine countries in Europe and followed by various summer festivals. In September, Apoptygma Berzerk toured coast to coast in America also playing shows in Canada and Mexico. The band then returned home to Europe to finish off the `Rocket Science Tour´ with even more dates throughout Europe.
To describe the feeling and atmosphere on this tour would be almost impossible. I do hope that the photos will tell a story. It's no secret that the `Rocket Science´ album and tour came at a difficult time for the band. Apop's record label, GUN Records went out of business, just as `Rocket Science´ was released. Differences of opinion within the band also surfaced and resulted in the departure of Brarud, Bratland and Stengel.
Like a fly on the wall, I was present during these weeks of touring, hardship, tears, parties, laughter, love and moments of uncontrolled folly. I was there to see if I could locate the spirit of a true, great rock`n roll band. The `Rocket Science Tour 2009´ had it all, and what I found is right here in these pages.
This is the way, step inside!

X Factor for authors
7:00pm Saturday 12th May 2012 in News
THESE are the writers hoping to find out whether they have the literary X Factor.
Authors from Oxford Brookes University's creative writing course faced the task of pitching their fledgling novels to a group of hard-nosed literary agents and one of the world's best-selling writers.
Seven hopefuls had been judged by writer Kate Clanchy, who is Oxford's city poet, to be worthy of presenting extracts of their work in front of author Philip Pullman.
And they faced the pitch of a lifetime in the hope of getting a big literary contract, although there were no guarantees any of them would be taken on.
One of the hopefuls, Victoria Pougatch, 43, from Sibford Gower, wrote a story about a missing woman told from various viewpoints.
She said: "I had never done anything like this before and I was nervous about it.
"I am more happy sitting at the kitchen table."
The seven students were chosen from an initial group of around 15 by Ms Clanchy.
Mr Pullman said: "An evening like this is a real treat and it would be wonderful if all seven of them went away with big fat contracts.
"Because they are mature students who have a lot of life experience, their work has been very varied. They have lived a bit."
Another of the students presenting her work was Helen Etty, from Jericho, Oxford, who wrote a young adult novel based in a boarding school.
She said: "I have written the whole novel and have been working on it for five years.
"I did an English course at Oxford University and I have always enjoyed writing. This is a really good opportunity for us and I was honoured to be chosen."
The evening was held on Thursday at Pegasus Theatre and involved the group from Brookes read their work in front of a group of literary agents and publishers.
Oxford Brookes has been celebrating its inaugural residency at the youth theatre in Magdalen Road this week.
And over the past week there have been a number of events including a film installation in a shower and poetry inspired by science.
James Hawes, director of creative writing at Oxford Brookes, organised the evening.
He said: "The point of this evening is to take our students out of the world of the university and introduce them into the ruthless world of agents and publishers.
"This will become an annual event from now on and it will be the climax of my students' year."
This year Pegasus is celebrating its 50th birthday and a number of events will be held throughout 2012 to celebrate this.
