This is a nice flash drive
There isn't a whole lot you can say about flash drives. They are fairly basic, been around for years, and will outlast their usefu There isn't a whole lot you can say about flash drives. They are fairly basic, been around for years, and will outlast their useful storage capacity. PNY is a good company, and I have never had a problem with their flash drives.
This drive is nice because it is small in size, and fits easily onto a keychain, the keychain look in a laptop back. I suppose it's biggest pro, could also be it's biggest con, and it might be easy to loose because of it's small size if you are not careful about where you put it.
It is well constructed and durable with no plastic to break or wear. While the finish does not perfectly match the Apple Products, it still looks very much at home with a MBA or MBP.
I haven't had it long enough to give a long term review of how it will hold up over long term use, but so far I am happy with the purchase. It does exactly what I need it to do, which is clip on to a keychain where I always have it handy, and be durable enough not to break as some with the plastic keychain clips do. …

No problems with storing or retrieving data, music between PC's and Mac.
I love it's size, all metal housing and clip. I can see where the size might be a con for some people as it's potentially easy to loose though I imagine if it's important enough to you...you'll hang on to it. …

Awesome Portable Storage Device
This portable storage device is perfect for those who need something small, light, portable and guaranteed to fit into the narrowe This portable storage device is perfect for those who need something small, light, portable and guaranteed to fit into the narrowest spaces available on a computer (desktop or laptop). Sometimes the ports are very close together and most keys available today require that one of the outer keys be removed so that you can get a key in the middle. NOT THIS ONE! THIS ONE FITS INTO THE NARROWEST OF SPACES BETWEEN TWO OTHER DEVICES! It is very reliable and so far indistructable. Mine has been dropped, stepped on, rolled over by a desk chair and it is still working like the day I got it! The hook clip is very reliable. It is still as strong and reliable as it was 6 months ago. I use this key everyday. I move it from key chain to key chain etc almost daily. DEFINITELY A KEY TO PURCHASE! EXCELLENT VALUE! …

It took a few seconds for it to recognize the drive, but it did come up, and none of the files were damaged!! I thought for sure we would have to write it off as a loss and pray that everything had been backed up on the computer. My husband carries this on his keychain all the time, and he's never had any issues. And believe me, his keychain can put a custodian's keyring to shame!

Worked great until it didn't!
Bought the PNY 8GB Hook Flash Drive about 8 months ago because it was small, light, aluminum and would hook on my keyring. Though Bought the PNY 8GB Hook Flash Drive about 8 months ago because it was small, light, aluminum and would hook on my keyring. Though a little slow (at least to me) worked flawless. Then today when I was trying to copy some files from my work computer to the flash drive to work from home I noticed it didn't show up when I plugged it in to my Mac. I tried every slot. I then tried it on my company issued Dell... no good. Get home and try it on my MacBook Pro Retina and no go. I read that because it is made of aluminum it has a tendency to get static electricity and then short itself out.
Its a shame because it is really a nice looking flash drive. Too expensive to be so temperamental. …

Host of MSNBC's "Hardball," Chris Matthews, also hosts a syndicated Sunday morning talk show, "Chris Matthews." The syndicated show just had its five-year anniversary and Broadcasting and Cable magazine interviewed the host.
Sunday mornings elicit thoughts of Tim Russert and George Stephanopolous, but the name Chris Matthews doesn't always come to mind.
We are very competitive with those guys. The quality of the show is beating the PR. My hope is that, if everyone watched it once, they'd keep watching it.
Does it frustrate you that they're better-known?
Yeah, I'd like more people to know about the show. It takes people a while to discover things, but we have the electoral cycle coming up, and we should be at the top of this game. Getting [Dan] Rather on the show regularly now is fabulous. People are going to hear a lot of the thoughts he hasn't been able to express over the years....
Who is your viewer?
I imagine our viewer is someone sitting on the West Side of New York with his O.J. and the Times. Or is it the assistant professor at the University of Iowa? The assistant professor would be my ideal audience. It wouldn't break my heart if they were all liberals, but they're not. People tell me [VP Dick] Cheney watches it, which isn't by invitation. Just kidding.
How is the syndicated show different from Hardball?
I trust the basic honesty and facts of the people on [the weekend show]. They are not advocates; they are fact-driven reporters. I feel no need to argue with what they are saying. The weekday show is much more naturally contentious because I am trying to get truth out of people who don't want to give it.
You've said Chris Matthews is inspired by The McLaughlin Group. How does it differ?
People seek [host John McLaughlin's] approval. It's a Jesuit classroom where the person who runs the class is basically an autocrat [who] decides what is right. He's not just the moderator, he's the judge and jury of the truth. We do not engage in any forced hostility. All those personal shots, I think that's yesterday.
What's your take on the Keith Olbermann-Bill O'Reilly feud?
Olbermann is very smart to pick this fight. You should always fight up. You pick a fight with someone higher up the system, and then they respond, and you are equals.
So who will you pick your fight with?

The Banda Islands are a high priority for marine conservation, and an important area to expand the coverage of marine protected areas (MPAs) in Indonesia.

Napoleon Wrasse are never very abundant, although they do form small aggregations of tens to more than a 100 fish to reproduce. They also change sex from female to male, so most small adults are female and it is mainly the males that exceed 1m in length. Sometimes around spawning time, you can see a harem of Napoleon Wrasse comprising a large male and several smaller females.

|Elida Mayor Klopfenstein dies
|Wednesday, December 25, 2013 9:00 PM
Herald Editor
ELIDA — After serving his community for more than 14 years, Elida Mayor Ron Klopfenstein passed away Monday afternoon.
Klopfenstein's constituents describe him as a dedicated public servant and an active and committed leader who volunteered his time and energy to the Village of Elida and community organizations. He served as mayor for 14 years and two years on village council.
Klopfenstein was born April 11, 1938, in Anna and graduated from Anna High School. On Aug. 25, 1956, he married the former Loretta Bell. He is survived by three children, 11 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. One child and a grandson preceded him in death.
During his life, Klopfenstein also served for years as the chairman of the Elida Community Fire Co., which was dissolved in 2007 when fire protection shifted to the American Township Fire Department.
Professionally, he served 40 years as a construction foreman as well as 30 years as a volunteer fireman, including 30 years as an advanced emergency medical technician. He also served 28 years as a state arson investigator.
Village Fiscal Officer Janet Bonifas said Klopfenstein simply worked to make Elida a better place to live.
"Ron led the village of Elida through many changes and improvements. His experience as a construction superintendent and knowledge of infrastructure systems were instrumental to the updating of the village water, wastewater and storm systems," Bonifas said. "Ron was a hard-working, dedicated person who believed a safe, financially-sound village would make Elida a better community for all residents."
A celebration of his life will begin at 11 a.m. Monday at St. Paul United Methodist Church, Elida. See full obituary on page 2.

Clear out the wardrobes to beat kids' cancers
4:45pm Monday 24th February 2014 in News
MEN and women in Worcestershire are being urged to Give Up Clothes for Good as part of a nationwide campaign by TK Maxx.
Since 2004, the store has raised £13.5million for Cancer Research UK as part of the campaign which sees people drop off their unwanted clothing, accessories and quality homeware in the special boxes provided in TK Maxx stores, with each bag worth up to £30.
Paula Young, spokesman for Worcestershire branch of the charity, said this year was the first year the campaign would run all year round.
She said: "Unwanted clothes really could save more lives which is why we're asking people to give what they can. All you need to do is fill up a bag and drop it into any TK Maxx store."
Around 130 children and young people in the West Midlands and Worcestershire are diagnosed with cancer each year, and the store in High Street, in Worcester City Centre is aiming at helping cure four out of four children instead of the current three out of four.
Donation bags and Gift Aid forms are available from TK Maxx stores but any bag – big or small will do.
The items donated will be sold in Cancer Research UK shops to raise valuable funds for vital research into children's cancers.
Cancer Research UK receives no government funding and for more information on the campaign or how to help, visit tkmaxx.com.

The game was close throughout with 18 lead changes and 17 ties. Neither team managed to hold a double-digit lead.
The teams were tied at 86 with 4:30 left, but Memphis outscored Indiana 12-6 the rest of the way, including converting 10 of 12 free throws down the stretch.

How can I tell I have a nail infection?
Dr. Marie Jhin, a dermatologist in the SF Bay Area, continues to answer your questions on nail infections.
A nail infection is the result of a fungus, yeast, or mold attacking the nail or the skin under the nail.
What signs should I look for?
- Nails that are thick
- Yellowness on the nail
- Nails that have split from the skin, and have started to crumble
A common type of fungus that attacks nails, White Superficial Onychomycosis, has a specific set of symptoms:
- White spots on the nails
- A powdery nail surface that gets worse as the infection progresses
- Damaged, crumbly, brown nail surface, which remains connected to the skin underneath
What puts me most at risk for getting a nail infection?
- Being over 60 years old
- Having cuts near the fingernails, a hangnail or ingrown nail
- Being someplace where your hands or feet are moist and sweaty
Where did I pick up my nail infection?
The most common places are those that have a lot of people coming and going and that are hot and moist (an ideal environment for fungus), such as a public shower, or places with shared equipment, such as nail salons. Make sure you wear sandals in gym showers and check that your nail salon is using clean equipment.
For most people in good health, a nail infection is nothing to worry about. However, if an individual with a weakened immune system or diabetes experiences a nail infection, medical attention is needed.
Check back in on Friday to learn how to treat your nail infection!
If you have a nail infection and are interested in learning how to treat it, contact Robert, our Patient Manager, to schedule an appointment. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 415-371-8600 (SF office) or 650-551-9700 (Peninsula office).

A storm swept the world in 1968. It started in
Students hurling projectiles against the police on the Boulevard Saint Germain,
If the Vietnamese were defeating the world's most powerful state, surely we, too, could defeat our own rulers: that was the dominant mood among the more radical of the 60s generation.
In February 1968, the Vietnamese communists launched their famous Tet offensive, attacking US troops in every major South Vietnamese city. The grand finale was the sight of Vietnamese guerrillas occupying the
The single spark set the world alight. In March 1968, students at Nanterre University in France came out on to the streets and the 22 March Movement was born, with two Daniels (Cohn-Bendit and Bensaid, Nanterre students then, and both still involved in green or leftist politics) challenging the French lion: Charles de Gaulle, the aloof, monarchical president of the Fifth Republic who, in a puerile outburst, would later describe as chie-en-lit – "shit in the bed" – the events in France that came close to toppling him. The students began by demanding university reforms and moved on to revolution.
That same month in

The revolution did not happen, but
The French example did spread, worrying bureaucrats in
It was infectious. In Prague, communist reformers – many of them heroes of the anti-fascist resistance during the second world war – had that spring already proclaimed "socialism with a human face". The aim of Alexander Dubcek and his supporters was to democratise political life in Czechoslovakia. It was the first step towards a socialist democracy and was seen as such in Moscow and Washington. On August 21, the Russians sent in the tanks and crushed the reform movement.
In every west European capital there were protests. The tabloid press in Britain was constantly attacking leftists as "agents of Moscow" and was genuinely taken aback when we marched to the Soviet embassy, denouncing the invasion in strong language and burning effigies of the bloated Soviet leader, Leonid Brezhnev. Alexander Solzhenitsyn later remarked that the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia had been the last straw for him. Now he realised that the system could never be reformed from within but would have to be overthrown. He was not alone. The Moscow bureaucrats had sealed their own fate.
In Mexico, students took over their universities, demanding an end to oppression and one-party rule. The army was sent in to occupy the universities and did so for many months, making it the best-educated army in the world. On October 2 – with the eyes of the world on Mexico City 10 days before the Olympic games were due to begin there – thousands of students poured on to the streets to demonstrate. A massacre began at sunset. Troops opened fire on the crowd listening to speeches in one of the city's main squares – dozens were killed and hundreds more injured.
And then in November 1968 Pakistan erupted. Students took on the state apparatus of a corrupt and decaying military dictatorship backed by the US (sound familiar?). They were joined by workers, lawyers, white-collar employees, prostitutes, and other social layers, and despite the severe repression (hundreds were killed), the struggle increased in intensity and, the following year, toppled Field Marshal Ayub Khan.
When I arrived in February 1969, the mood of the country was joyous. Speaking at rallies all over the country with the poet Habib Jalib, we encountered a very different atmosphere from that in Europe. Here power did not seem so remote. The victory over Ayub Khan led to the first general election in the country's history. The Bengali nationalists in east Pakistan won a majority that the elite and key politicians refused to accept. Civil war led to Indian military intervention and that ended the old Pakistan. Bangladesh was the result of a bloody caesarean.
The glorious decade (1965-75), of which the year 1968 was only the high point, consisted of three concurrent narratives. Politics dominated, but there were two others that left a deeper imprint – sexual liberation and a hedonistic entrepreneurship from below. We had cause to be grateful for the latter. We were constantly appealing for funds from readers when I edited The Black Dwarf in 1968-69. One day a guy in overalls walked into our Soho office and counted out 25 grubby £5 notes, thanked us for producing the paper and left. He would do this every fortnight. Finally, I asked who he was and if there was a particular reason for his generosity. It turned out he had a stall on Portobello Road and, as to why he wanted to help, it was simple. "Capitalism is so non-groovy, man." It's only too groovy now and far more vicious.
In some ways, the 60s were a reaction to the 50s, and the intensity of the cold war. In the US, the McCarthyite witch-hunts had created havoc in the 50s, but now blacklisted writers could work again; in Russia, hundreds of political prisoners were released, the gulags were closed down and the crimes of Stalin were denounced by Khruschev as eastern Europe trembled with excitement and hopes of rapid reform. They hoped in vain.
The spirit of renewal infected the realm of culture as well: Solzhenitsyn's first novel was serialised in the official literary magazine, Novy Mir, and a new cinema took over most of Europe. In Spain and Portugal, ruled at the time by Nato's favourite fascists, Franco and Salazar, censorship persisted, but in Britain DH Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover, written in 1928, was published for the first time in 1960. The book, in its complete form, sold two million copies.
Following Simone de Beauvoir's pioneering work in The Second Sex (1949), Juliet Mitchell fired off a new salvo in December 1966. Her lengthy essay, Women: The Longest Revolution, appeared in the New Left Review and became an immediate point of reference, summarising the problems faced by women: "In advanced industrial society, women's work is only marginal to the total economy… women are offered a universe of their own: the family. Like woman herself, the family appears as a natural object, but it is actually a cultural creation… Both can be exalted paradoxically, as ideals. The 'true' woman and 'true' family are images of peace and plenty: in actuality they may both be sites of violence and despair."
In September 1968, US feminists disrupted the Miss World competition in Atlantic City, warning shots in a women's liberation movement that would change women's lives by demanding recognition, independence and an equal voice in a male-dominated world. The cover of the January 1969 issue of Black Dwarf dedicated the year to women. Inside, we published Sheila Rowbotham's spirited feminist call to arms. (As I write this, Professor Rowbotham, now a distinguished scholar, has her job under threat from the ghastly, grey accountants who run Manchester University. We are now in an epoch of production-line universities with celebrities paid fortunes to teach eight hours a week and genuine scholars dumped in the bin.)
And, yes, there was also the pleasure principle. That the 60s were hedonistic is indisputable, but they were different from the corporatised version of today. At the time they marked a break with the hypocritical puritanism of the 40s and 50s, when censors prohibited married couples being shown on screen sharing a bed and pyjamas were compulsory. Radical upheavals challenge all social restrictions. It was always thus.
In the prefigurative London of the 18th century, sexual experiments required the cover of break-away churches such as the Moravians and surreal Swedenborgians (for whom "love for the holy" was best expressed in the "projection of semen"): both preached the virtues of combining religious and sexual ecstasy. Sexual orgies were a regular feature of Moravian ritual, according to which penetration was akin to entering the wounds in Christ's side. William Blake and his circle were heavily involved in all of this and some of his paintings depicting this world were censored at the time. I hope this does not come as too much of a shock to my old friend Tony Benn and others who sing Jerusalem without realising the hidden meaning of:
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear!
Homosexuality in Britain was decriminalised only in 1967. Gay liberation movements erupted with activists demanding an end to all homophobic legislation and Gay Pride marches were launched, inspired by the Afro-American struggles for equal rights and black pride. All the movements learned from each other. The advances of the civil rights, women's and gay movements, now taken for granted, had to be fought for on the streets against enemies who were fighting the "war on horror".
History rarely repeats itself, but its echoes never go away. In the autumn of 2004, when I was in the US on a lecture tour that coincided with Bush's re-election campaign, I noticed at a large antiwar meeting in Madison a very direct echo in a utopian bumper sticker: "Iraq is Arabic for Vietnam." The sound engineer in the hall, a Mexican-American, whispered proudly in my ear that his son, a 25- year-old marine, had just returned from a tour of duty in the besieged Iraqi city of Fallujah, the scene of horrific massacres by US soldiers, and may show up at the meeting. He didn't, but joined us later with a couple of civilian friends. He could see the room was packed with antiwar, anti-Bush activists.
The young, crewcut marine, G, recounted tales of duty and valour. I asked why he had joined the marine corps. "There was no choice for people like me. If I'd stayed here, I'd have been killed on the streets or ended up in the penitentiary serving life. The marine corps saved my life. They trained me, looked after me and changed me completely. If I died in Iraq, at least it would be the enemy that killed me. In Fallujah, all I could think of was how to make sure that the men under my command were kept safe. That's all. Most of the kids demonstrating for peace have no problems here. They go to college, they demonstrate and soon they forget it all as they move into well-paid jobs. It's not so easy for people like me. I think there should be a draft. Why should poor kids be the only ones out there? Out of all the marines I work with, perhaps four or five percent are gung-ho flag-wavers. The rest of us are doing a job, we do it well and hope we get out without being KIA [killed in action] or wounded."
Later, G sat on a sofa between two older men – both former combatants. On his left was Will Williams, 60, born in Mississipi, who had enlisted in the army aged 17. He was sure that, had he not left Mississippi, the Klu Klux Klan or some other racist gang would have killed him. He, too, told me that the military "saved my life". Following a stint in Germany, he was sent to Vietnam. Wounded in action, he received a Purple Heart and two bronze stars; he also began to change following a rebellion by black troops at Camranh Bay protesting racism within the US army.
Following a difficult period readjusting, Williams read deeply in politics and history. Feeling that the country was being lied to again, he and Dot, his companion of over 43 years, joined the movement opposing the war in Iraq, bringing their Gospel choir voices to rallies and demonstrations.
On G's right was Clarence Kailin, 90 years old that summer and one of the few remaining survivors of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade that had fought on the Republican side in the Spanish civil war. He, too, has been active in the movement against the war in Iraq. "Our trip was made in considerable secrecy – even from our families. I was a truck driver, then an infantry man and for a short time a stretcher-bearer. I saw the brutality of war up close. Of the five Wisconsinites who came to Spain with me, two were killed… later, there was Vietnam and this time kids from here died on the wrong side. Now we have Iraq. It's really bad, but I still believe there is an innate goodness in people, which is why so many can break with unworthy pasts."
In 2006, after another tour of duty, G could no longer accept any justification for the war. He was admiring of Cindy Sheehan and the Military Families Against the War, the most consistently active and effective antiwar group in the US.
A decade before the French Revolution, Voltaire remarked that "History is the lies we agree on". Afterwards there was little agreement on anything. The debate on 1968 was recently revived by Nicolas Sarkozy, who boasted that his victory in last year's presidential elections was the final nail in the '68 coffin. The philosopher Alain Badiou's tart response was to compare the new president of the republic to the Bourbons of 1815 and Marshal Pétain during the war. They, too, had talked about nails and coffins.
"May 1968 imposed intellectual and moral relaivism on us all," Sarkozy declared. "The heirs of May '68 imposed the idea that there was no longer any difference between good and evil, truth and falsehood, beauty and ugliness. The heritage of May 1968 introduced cynicism into society and politics."
He even blamed the legacy of May '68 for greedy and seedy business practices. The May '68 attack on ethical standards helped to "weaken the morality of capitalism, to prepare the ground for the unscrupulous capitalism of golden parachutes for rogue bosses". So the 60s generation is held responsible for Enron, Conrad Black, the subprime mortgage crisis, Northern Rock, corrupt politicians, deregulation, the dictatorship of the "free market", a culture strangled by brazen opportunism.
The struggle against the Vietnam war lasted 10 years. In 2003 people came out again in Europe and America, in even larger numbers, to try to stop the Iraq war. The pre-emptive strike failed. The movement lacked the stamina and the resonance of its predecessors. Within 48 hours it had virtually disappeared, highlighting the changed times.
Were the dreams and hopes of 1968 all idle fantasies? Or did cruel history abort something new that was about to be born? Revolutionaries – utopian anarchists, Fidelistas, Trotskyist allsorts, Maoists of every stripe – wanted the whole forest. Liberals and social democrats were fixated on individual trees. The forest, they warned us, was a distraction, far too vast and impossible to define, whereas a tree was a piece of wood that could be identified, improved and crafted into a chair or a table. Now the tree, too, has gone.
"You're like fish that only see the bait, never the line," we would mock in return. For we believed – and still do – that people should not be measured by material possessions but by their ability to transform the lives of others – the poor and underprivileged; that the economy needed to be reorganised in the interests of the many, not the few; and that socialism without democracy could never work. Above all, we believed in freedom of speech.
Much of this seems utopian now and some, for whom 1968 wasn't radical enough at the time, have embraced the present and, like members of ancient sects who moved easily from ritual debauchery to chastity, now regard any form of socialism as the serpent that tempted Eve in paradise.
The collapse of "communism" in 1989 created the basis for a new social agreement, the Washington Consensus, whereby deregulation and the entry of private capital into hitherto hallowed domains of public provision would become the norm everywhere, making traditional social democracy redundant and threatening the democratic process itself.
Some, who once dreamed of a better future, have simply given up. Others espouse a bitter maxim: unless you relearn you won't earn. The French intelligentsia, which had from the Enlightenment onwards made Paris the political workshop of the world, today leads the way with retreats on every front. Renegades occupy posts in every west European government defending exploitation, wars, state terror and neocolonial occupations; others now retired from the academy specialise in producing reactionary dross on the blogosphere, displaying the same zeal with which they once excoriated factional rivals on the far left. This, too, is nothing new. Shelley's rebuke to Wordsworth who, after welcoming the French Revolution, retreated to a pastoral conservatism, expressed it well:
In honoured poverty thy voice did weave
Songs consecrate to truth and liberty,
Deserting these, thou leavest me to grieve,
Thus having been, that thou shouldst cease to be.

Last Sunday, Hamilton hosted its 16th annual AIDS Hike for Life, a hike around Hamilton that raises money for ACR Health, a nonprofit community-based organization providing services and support to people living with chronic illness.
Campus sexual assaults are notoriously underreported, but Hamilton SAVES (Sexual Assault and Violence Education and Support) is working to combat sexual assault on our campus.
The student group known as The Movement continued its efforts to enhance the conversation about race on campus with an event they called a "Walk for Solidarity."
On Tuesday, April 29, students, faculty and staff gathered in the Kennedy Auditorium to hear Princeton University's Dean of the College Valerie Smith speak about her career path as a woman of color and to glean general wisdom from the well-rounded leader.
On Friday, April 25, Associate Professor of German and Russian Languages and Literatures Frank Sciacca gave the most recent Brown Bag Lunch Talk of the semester, titled "Hamilton Revisited: Sex, Politics, and Religion on the Hill in the 1930s." For nearly an hour, Sciacca captivated his audience, spinning a complicated narrative based on a score of fascinating characters.
Tufts students protest on behalf of janitors
Amherst to give Brooks and Silver honorary degrees
Tucked between students' return back to campus and the upcoming final exams and papers, the housing lottery serves as a prime example of Hamilton's over-bureaucratic nonsense adding unnecessary stress to students' already hectic lives. Res Life has created a system in which students must plan for any and all possible scenarios while constantly being left in the dark about exactly what is going on. On Sunday, that system came crumbling down and left me and others like me confused, angry and placed in an unjust situation.
Anyone who uses Martin's Way to get across campus has probably noticed the recent addition of banners attached to the lampposts. They alternate between buff and blue and feature the College's motto, "Know Thyself", and phrases from its constitution such as "Cultural Diversity" and "Creativity."
As part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Andrew Austin '14 and Hannah Tessler '14 gave a very poignant presentation on consent at Hamilton. Their goal was to "establish the importance of clear consent and clarification in a hookup situation in order to prevent sexual assault."
In a major development on Monday April 14, Student Assembly voted to reduce the number of student representatives per class from five to four. This new legislation will soon reach the student body for a vote that could affect upcoming elections.
This past week, a number of student-led initiatives have sought to foster a safer, healthier and more tolerant community. On Sunday, the Class of 2014 helped sponsor the AIDS Hike for Life, which had over 300 participants and raised over $38,000 for AIDS research. The next day, a group of students, faculty and administrators held the Walk for Solidarity, during which students shared their experiences of discrimination at Hamilton. Also, on Wednesday, Student Assembly hosted its second town hall about diversity and inclusion on campus.
"Beers with Ben" features various members of the Hamilton faculty in off-the-cuff interviews at the Little Pub.
This week features Visiting Assistant Professor of Sociology Elizabeth Lee, drinking an Empire Brewing Company IPA.
People joke that Hamilton is a country club with a lot of homework. It does sometimes seem like I live in an oasis of meal plans, reasonably priced concerts, heating and locked doors. When I see the same faces on Martin's Way every day, our campus starts to feel small and safe.
There is something to be said about study abroad blogs. From first-hand experience, the stories are just about twenty times more fun than they sound on paper, the pictures NEVER do justice to the feeling of actually being some place new and foreign and the food people talk about so amorously taste and smell a lot more enticingly. But, most of all, God is in the details and the experience of trying to peg down a culture and language that's not your own is where the real fun is at.
The Major Four-Teens, Hamilton's very own barbershop quartet, has qualified for the 22nd annual Harmony Foundation Collegiate Barbershop Quartet Contest (CBQC).
Lucy Wainright Roche's performance in the last CAB acoustic coffeehouse of the year had every reason to be boring; except, it wasn't.
Three weeks after bringing punk rockers Cloud Nothings to the Hill, the Independent Music Fund (IMF) (with WHCL) is sponsoring its second spring concert, Vic Mensa.
As the clock struck noon on Friday, April 25, over 50 student-athletes, coaches, administrators and other members of the community gathered outside of Commons Dining Hall for the second annual sexual assault reading.
The Hamilton College Outdoor Track and Field team had a strong showing at the NESCAC Championships, which were held at Colby College this past weekend.
Headed into the final weekend of the season, the men's tennis team looked to end the season on a high note. After several hours of a hard fought match, Conn College managed to pull away with a 5-4 victory.

GENEVA - International mediator Kofi Annan said on Friday he was "optimistic" that ministerial crisis talks on Syria's conflict being held on Saturday would produce an acceptable outcome.
"I think we are going to have a good meeting tomorrow (Saturday). I am optimistic," Annan told Reuters Television in Geneva as he arrived for preparatory discussions due to begin at 9:00 a.m. GMT.
The talks being held by foreign ministers of major powers and regional players in the Swiss city will end "with an acceptable result," he said, without giving details.
Russia proposed changes on Thursday to his plan for a national unity government in Syria, despite initially supporting it, but the United States, Britain and France rejected the amendments, Western diplomats said.
The suggested changes are related to Moscow's refusal to support the ouster of Syrian President Assad, diplomats in New York said on condition of anonymity.
Annan's spokesman Ahmad Fawzi told Reuters: "The talks are on course and the preparatory meeting is going ahead this morning (Friday)."
Western and Arab diplomats said that the preparatory meeting of senior officials would be key to paving the way to consensus on the prickly issue of political transition in Syria.
But Assad on Thursday dismissed the notion of any outside solution to the 16-month-old uprising against his rule.
"We will not accept any non-Syrian, non-national model, whether it comes from big countries or friendly countries. No one knows how to solve Syria's problems as well as we do," Assad said.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - At around 12:30 a.m. Thursday morning two suspects armed with a gun, robbed two YSU students on Norwood Avenue as they left a party.
It's the fourth armed robbery near the YSU campus in a week, where Youngstown State students are the victims. And as campus police work with city police to catch the suspects, they're warning students to be armed with information to protect themselves."I park in the parking lot and make sure there's people around before I leave classes and stuff. So I'm not by myself and isolated," says student Stacy Runkle. Police say what's most important is that students have the campus police number on speed dial on their cell phone. Officers can respond 24/7."I want to advise them first of all, if they don't want to walk by themselves. They can call the police department. We can escort them to and from class, to and from their car. We also have an escort service which consists of students that actually escort individuals ... same thing that we do," says Dennis Godoy of YSU Police.YSU Police also say students should always be aware of their surroundings and not let down their guard day or night.
"Always walk in groups if you can. Try to stay in well lit areas. Don't carry a bunch of extra stuff on you that you don't need," YSU Police officer Danica Burrows.Police say it's important that students don't wander too far away from the actual campus. Students are heeding those warnings, like signing up for the campus alert system that let students know about the most recent crimes.

For the Eminence softball team, it's been a familiar scenario — getting behind in the first inning and trying to dig out of the early deficit. And this was no different last week as the Lady Warriors lost to Spencer County (10-0) Thursday and Bardstown (16-2) Friday in two home games.
Eminence has lost every game they've trailed this season, with just one win coming against Caverna (19-0) April 12.
It wasn't exactly what the Henry County Ladycats wanted, but their three loses at the Capital City Classic over the weekend wasn't as bad as the loss column might indicate.
Henry took a 3-1 loss to Scott County Friday, then turned around on Saturday and took a 3-2 loss to Assumption and 3-2 loss to Franklin. Assumption and Franklin are ranked just outside the top-25 in the latest Kentucky Softball Coaches Association Poll, while Scott is ranked fourth.
The Henry County Wildcats dropped two baseball games last week to leave them at a still impressive 12-4 mark, but it might have been just what the Cats needed after riding an eight-game winning streak.
"I think our kids hit reality that every game is tough and a battle," Henry coach Austin Hunsaker said. "We have to stay mentally focused every inning, every bat, every pitch. I think we learned that what we did in previous games doesn't really matter."
Athlete per athlete, the Eminence Warriors might have had the best team performance at the Shelby County All-Comers last Tuesday night, scoring 44 points between five tracksters and finishing fifth in the team standings.
The Warriors also left with a little more pride after producing five top-three finishes and one first-place. They were up against much larger schools, including Shelby County, Waggener, Male, Southern, Franklin County and Spencer County.
By Tommie Kendall
The Eminence players hooted, hollered and gave high fives while jumping around the baseball field last Wednesday night. They couldn't keep it in, not after they earned their first win of the season with a 7-4 outing over Evangel Christian.
It was the Warriors first win in almost a year, and it couldn't have come at a better time.
The Henry County track team had just eight athletes compete at the Eastern Relays, held at the University of Louisville's track complex Saturday, but the Cats left Louisville with some of their best individual performances of the season.
General Manager
In October 1997, Port Royal Baptist church asked former Campbellsburg Christian Church pastor Carl Rucker to serve as their interim pastor.
They asked him to serve while they looked for a new pastor. Two weeks into his temporary stay, Rucker was approached again.
"In the second week in November, they said 'would you stay with us through December,' to which I responded that I would," Rucker said. "About the middle of December, they asked if I would stay with them through 1998."

£1,000 reward offered to catch computer burglar
12:20pm Tuesday 9th October 2012 in News By Barbara Jordan, Chief Reporter
A REWARD is being offered after £10,000 worth of computer equipment was stolen from a Widnes business.
Thieves broke into Renard Systems in Waterloo Road earlier this year.
Police have been carrying out extensive enquiries in relation to the incident including CCTV enquiries and forensic enquiries.
A reward of £1,000 is now being offered by the company for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible and the recovery of any of the stolen property.
Police have issued this CCTV image taken during the burglary.
PC Gary Ellison, of Widnes Neighbourhood Policing Unit, said: "Numerous enquiries have been carried out by local officers in relation to this incident and we are urging anyone who has any information, which might assist with our enquiries, to come forward. "We are also appealing to anyone who knows the identity of whoever is responsible to contact us.
"Likewise, if anyone has any information regarding the whereabouts of the stolen items then we would encourage them to pass on this information."
The break-in happened between 9.25pm on April 1 and 8.20am on 2April 2.
Anyone with information can call Cheshire Police on 101.

At the request of a party who shall remain anonymous, I have constructed a spreadsheet to give pseudo-Fangraphs-style positional wOBA averages by position for 2008 MLB, AL, and NL. I still think the best general model for such averages is something like this (see my related FanShot here), but it is interesting to see how closely the empirical data from last year matches up. I've even included a silly wOBA-fied version of baseball-reference's OPS+. Since I'm guessing Fangraphs' version of wOBA will become the most frequently cited, I've used a formula that I think they are using -- that is, one that excludes reached base on error (this makes sense for them, since I assume they are using the baseball databank data, which doesn't include that information). They also use custom linear weights for each year, which I don't use here. However, Tom Tango (the creator of wOBA) notes that the weights since 1956 don't stray all that far from the generic formula. I think Fangraphs is great, and is quickly becoming the best source for sabermetric data on the internet -- free or pay. Personally, I prefer that ROE be included in wOBA, since I do think it at least partially reflects player skill. Stat Corner does so (and they also have park-adjusted wOBA*). I would also prefer that both sites includes stolen bases and caught stealings in the formula (I don't think they do -- but correct me if I'm wrong). But they have their reasons. I have a sheet ready with SB/CSs and also one with ROEs if people are interested. Update: Thanks to the coment below, I now realize that Fangraphs does include SB/CS in their wOBA figures, and have corrected the spreadsheet.
Yes, the dastardly Sox site has done something that was asked about last week when Fangraphs added wOBA -- the offensive stat we should all be using. Thanks to Sky for pointing it out and also for agreeing with me that Colin made a mistake with the 3B adjustment. The methodology isn't perfect (to be more precise one would need to judge each position in relation to league average wOBA year-to-year) but it isn't meant to be. It's rough. He has a little chart that includes adjustments for defense, but I'm not going to deal with the headache of arguing about that here (the positional adjustment thing is bad enough, sometimes). So... here are the averages Colin has, and then how some Royals (and new Royals) did in relation to those averages in 2008 -- this is retrospective, not predictive. I'm using StatCorner's version of wOBA because, among other things, it's park-adjusted (wOBA*). Some guys are listed in more than one position for obvious reasons. C .306 Olivo .313 (+.07) Buck .300 (-.06) SS .326 TPJ .189 (-.137) Avilanche .364 (+.038) 2B .335 Grudz .345 (+.010) Callaspo .341 (+.06) German .294 (-.041) CF .335 DDJ .361 (+.026) Gathright .277 (-.058) Crisp .334 ( -.01) MITCH .288 (-.047) 3B .335 Gordon .351 (+.016) Teahen .315 (-.020) RF/LF .354 Teahen .315 (-.039) Guillen .329 (-.025) DDJ .361 (+.07) 1B .364 Gload .304 (-.060) Butler .326 (-.038) Jacobs .342 (-.022)

Sharp looking shirt

About Me Career
Best Uses
Comments about Kr3w Motorbreath Reversible Button Down Shirt:
I work in a cool office (62-65F) so a heavy long sheeve shirt taht looks good is in order. I did not give it a five star rating because it states that it is reversible but you will need to cut off some care tags on the inside so it does not look like you are wearing the shirt inside out.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The Certificate in Strategic Leadership
Why Develop a Certificate in Strategic Leadership?
According to the Catalyst Census of Women Corporate Officers and Top Earners of the Fortune 500, the gender gap in senior leadership is persistent: "Women continue to be severely underrepresented in top corporate leadership positions...most large U.S. companies have made scant progress in advancing women – and especially women of color – to leadership and top-paying positions over the last decade. If this rate of progress continues, it could take 40 years for women to achieve parity with men in corporate officer positions."
Recognizing that leadership potential, and the dearth of women in senior positions, is not just confined to large corporations, this program will encompass important learning objectives that are significant for women professionals in mid to upper-level positions across the workforce spectrum. Due to the design of the curriculum, this program will also appeal to women who do not necessarily aspire to the senior level, but do have a desire to make important, strategic contributions to their company or association by practicing sound leadership principles.
Outside of the corporate sector, this program will also provide an outstanding continuing education opportunity for female entrepreneurs. According to Cheskin Research, women are starting their own businesses at twice the rate of men. The reason for this, says Catalyst, is the desire by women to avoid the limitations imposed by the "glass ceiling", along with the need for more flexibility and influence within their working environment. Women entrepreneurs, like their corporate counterparts, can benefit from improving their leadership skills as they grow and direct their respective businesses.
Values of The Certificate in Strategic Leadership
Theories of leadership are many and varied; however, in a world of conditions and priorities that are constantly changing, leaders must be able to look beyond the "now" and take a more strategic approach to their work. We must learn to identify the signs of change, growth, or progress that will inevitably disrupt our world and use them to create long-term, competitive advantage for our organizations. A virtue of strategic leadership is the ability to apply critical knowledge that can promote new ideas, inspire others, and generate new directions within an organization. Therefore, The Certificate in Strategic Leadership is envisioned as an extension of the intellectual rigor and academic values associated with Loyola, especially with respect to service for others and ethical decision-making.
The program is designed as an extension of the core values of the institution by:
- Empowering women to gain skills allowing them the ability to lead by inspiring others in a shared vision;
- Communicating this vision clearly;
- Foster a working environment within their respective organizations that encourages risk-taking, recognition, and rewards;
- Mentoring, coaching, and leading by example; allowing other leaders to emerge.
It is also important to say, in keeping with the core values of Loyola as a complex research university, that the School desires to foster essential academic values: a passion for excellence, analytical reflection and critical thinking, intellectual flexibility in the analysis, evaluation and application of new knowledge, high moral and ethical values, reasoned conversation and debate, openness to new ideas and discoveries, and the willingness and ability to raise the standards of application and practice.
Program Benefits and Learning Outcomes
Completion of The Certificate in Strategic Leadership will provide a valuable credential in management techniques for women who desire to grow as leaders in their workplace. As such, the students will acquire the following program benefits:
- Students will have refined their immediate and long-range career goals and objectives, and will have developed a realistic and attainable plan to meet those objectives;
- Students will have acquired the benefit of a rounded, critical examination of leadership through the lenses of theory and practice;
- Students will have created a new network of like-minded professionals from whom they can draw upon for encouragement and support, and to help them attain their employment objectives;
- Students will have enhanced their proficiency and skills in advanced business communication and problem-solving, especially in professional managerial settings;
- Students will have refined their aptitude in performing self-assessment and evaluation, especially as these skills pertain to their own self-knowledge and abilities to achieve their career objectives, which might also include pursuing higher education at the Master's level.
Understanding the rigors of work life balance and scheduling, we offer students the flexibility to take only a select number of classes, or to take the entire certificate in any order, at your own pace. The following learning outcomes apply to each of the four seminars:
- Self-assessment helps the student to better understand and develop their own managerial style, allowing for better organizational and personal effectiveness;
- Focused concentration on the ethics of leadership allows students to examine successful leadership as a relational experience with an impact that reaches beyond the bottom line;
- Examination of effective verbal and non-verbal communication models provide the foundation to facilitate and achieve leadership success in terms of sound decision-making, the achievement of business objectives, effective change management, timely conflict resolution, strong team-building skills, and the creation of environments that model healthy, collaborative, and productive ideals.
- Develop leadership traits that allow a willingness to stand out; learn to withstand criticism and recover from setbacks; and, let curiosity and a questioning mind change the status quo for the better.

The idea of grass-topped rafters isn't new, as any Swiss miss
can tell you. But the technology's been updated in recent years
to serve specific purposes, like controlling runoff. In
hard-paved cities with little or no absorbent ground cover,
municipal sewer systems can be overwhelmed by excess flow
following a hard rain. A green roof absorbs 50 to 75 percent of
the rainfall that strikes it, significantly diminishing the
amount of water that reaches the gutter.
Roof pitches of up to 12/12 can be green,
although the system's complexity and cost may increase
accordingly. Outside Stuttgart, Germany, a contemporary-style
house with a verdant roof updates the archetypal thatched
cottage (top). A private rooftop garden — also near
Stuttgart — puts to rest any argument that a flat roof is
an ugly roof (above). And in the Seattle area, another lift of
growth medium hits the deck (right).
That's not the only big-city problem that green roofs can
alleviate. Urban centers tend to be hotter than surrounding
areas, partly because of the cumulative acreage of black
asphalt rooftops that soak up solar heat and radiate it outward
into the air and downward into the buildings. A green roof
maintains a lower surface temperature, reducing a structure's
heat gain by as much as 50 percent.
Other benefits — not necessarily proven — include a
30-year typical roof-membrane life; quieter interiors; and
reclaimed outdoor living space.
In the U.S., commercial projects claim the lion's share of
green-roof installations, but Europeans have embraced the
technology on a broader scale. In Germany, for example, 7
percent of all new flat roofs, both commercial and residential,
are said to be green, with a total of 140 million square feet
covered to date.

Stone is one of the oldest basic construction material, dating back to the mists of antiquity. Its survival is testament to mans long held love of materials which are not merely precious, but also solid and resistant to the ravages of time.
Our mother earth has been so generous in providing us so many
numerous verities of stones called by different names like marbles, granites, lime stones, slates and sandstones depending upon their
different physical properties, each more fascinating than the other. Indian stones have for long been occupying an important place in the world of stones owing to their exotic colors, strength, texture, finish and durability.
We take pride and pleasure in bringing these natural treasures to our discernable clients at affordable prices and consistent quality.
