More than 55,000 members gathered for the National FFA Convention Oct. 24-27 in Indianapolis. The purpose of this convention is to gather FFA members from across the nation to celebrate the achievements that have been made of the past year, broaden the horizons of members by exposing them to new places, and motivate them to continue to reach their goals. Delphos FFA members boarded a charter bus on Wednesday morning with the Paulding and Wayne Trace FFA chapters. The first stop was a tour of a Kettle Kreations, a division of Bob Evans Farms, then toured Top Cut Genetics in Farmland, Ind., and finished with Umbarger Feeds Inc, in Bargersville, Ind.
That evening, the group enjoyed a country concert put on by The Band Perry and Bradley Gilbert.

Four days of hands-on science fun
Have you ever wondered how to make elephant toothpaste, bend light using Jell-O, or create a rainbow using sugar and water? Queen's is set to host Science Rendezvous, a collaborative event where all members of the Kingston community can experience science in fun and interactive ways.
"The whole goal of this is to get people celebrating science. I think we have something for just about everybody," says Lynda Colgan, associate professor and coordinator of the Community Outreach Centre in the Faculty of Education. "We need to make science accessible and fun so that children are intrigued by it, but we also have to support teachers in their endeavours to make science accessible in the classroom."
This is the first year that Queen's is participating in the national event, held at universities across the country. And instead of the traditional one-day affair, Queen's is kicking it up a notch, with four days of events and activities for members of the Kingston community.
Science Rendezvous is modeled after a celebration of science held in Toronto that included a variety of events and displays and attracted thousands of participants. Dr. Colgan worked with Terry Bridges, a PhD candidate in the Faculty of Education, to bring a similar celebration to Kingston.
Members of several Queen's departments are taking part in the event, along with colleagues and counterparts from Royal Military College, St. Lawrence College, and the City of Kingston. Local museums, including the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, the Pump House Steam Museum, the Museum of Healthcare and the Miller Museum of Geology are also participating.
Events include talks by Queen's professors Barrie Frost and Phil Jessop, a lecture by CBC Radio's Quirks and Quarks host Bob MacDonald, and a movie night. Participants will be treated to more than 50 demonstrations and workshops at a variety of locations. A free shuttle will allow for easy access to all of Saturday's events.
Science Rendezvous runs from May 3 - 7. Events are free and open to the public. For more information, including a schedule, visit the website.

PEORIA, Ill. -- The American Red Cross is asking you to help save a life this weekend in honor of two year old James Maughan of Peoria.
Maughan was diagnosed last Mother's day with a bacterial Meningitis that causes blood clots.
The meningitis destroyed most of the capillaries in his body, which prevented circulation to his limbs.
In order to save Maughan's life, doctors had to amputate his left leg, right hand, and part of his middle finger on his left hand.
However, thanks to daily transfusions of lifesaving blood, platelets, and plasma, Maughan is on his way to a full recovery.
"Without the blood he would not have lived. The blood, the doctors, and what they do at OSF with the help of Red Cross, it's what kept him alive. It was our miracle we needed," said James' mother Angie Maughan.
"Every two seconds in America someone needs a blood transfusion. It's especially important in the summer months because doantions typically decline as people become busy with vacations, holiday parties, and things like that. It is important that there is enough blood on the shelves to meet patients needs like James for example, said en Corey of the American Red Cross.
A blood drive honoring Maughan will be held Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Peoria.
You can make an appointment to donate by visiting redcrossblood.org and entering sponsor code 040520.

Giants Notebook: Smith out Monday, Andre Brown
Breaking down the battle for WR positions on the New York Giants
New York Giants' wide receivers' coach Mike Sullivan talks about his group.
This week has been one of intrigue. It is impossible really to tell what will happen this week and the upcoming draft day. When the Giants said "adios" to Plaxico Burress, there really started to...
Jason Cole of Yahoo Sports, citing sources with knowledge of the negotiations, says that Braylon Edwards will be a New York Giant by Draft Day. The Browns are asking for Steve Smith, and a 2nd and 5th round pick. The Giants have countered with Domenik Hixon and the same picks. I think either of those is a lot to pay, and it still leaves them with a hole at WR, albeit a smaller one. Kudos to BigBl42 for finding this.
Just how important is Plaxico Burress to the New York Giants' chances of winning a second straight Super Bowl?
Here are a few New York Giants' notes for a Wednesday morning. LIKE MIKE: Justin Tuck gives Michael Strahan much of the credit for Tuck's ascension to what he is today -- one of the best...

Mid-Michigan got pounded by the early January storm, with some parts of the region seeing more than a foot falling within a 36-hour period. The classic Mid-Michigan snowstorm has plows out across the area scraping for that money.
"It means a lot of hours. Yes, a lot of money," said Adam Hoffman, who is out plowing apartment parking lots and driveways.
In these parts it's called winter's 'white gold,' and plow driver Adam Hoffman hasn't passed up the opportunity to cash in.
"About 36 hours. I've had a nap here and there," laughed Hoffman, who talked about the hours he's worked. "We got to make sure we get it to where cars don't get stuck and make everybody happy."
Debbie Beamish said she is also raking in the dough. She has been ripping through Saginaw neighborhoods in a four-wheel drive delivering pizza, down some roads she says the plows haven't even touched yet.
"A lot of people will just, 'I can truck right on through.' No, you can't, and they get stuck, so you have to go around the block or whatever," said Beamish.
But as the dig-out continues, Jonah Conner said he's prepared for even the toughest conditions.
"Just clearing off my car before another storm comes in, you know," said Conner.
An emergency survival kit sits in his back seat, equipped with what seem to be necessities today.
"Yeah, just in case, my grandma gave it to me, a nice Christmas present just to go along, but yeah, I think it's definitely going to help, especially with how I've seen this winter start, so hopefully it'll get better," said Conner.
And experts remind people who must head out in this weather to always be equipped with a winter survival kit. That includes survival blankets, hand warmers, flash lights, water and food, just to name a few items.

This must be my most annoying dilemma yet!! I Noticed this the other day when I was surfing the web on my Lumia 800!
It appears that whenever u get to a webpage (or application) that contains a white background and black text (which is usually the case in most pages!) and u look closely u can notice some moire effects that appears as horizontal white lines next to the text and these lines follows the text even when scrolling!! This is specially notable when u zoom in on a text or place the handset in landscape mode.
Also the same moire effect appears but with vertical lines shifting between red and white as u zoom in and out of a picture with a white background!!
And NO I don't have any screen protector (that in some cases can cause this effect) and YES this is clearly a display issue because of these lines are being followed by my scrolling and not on a specifc area on the display!!
Anyone else having this issue??

I have the same problem, but i think is a software problem because if the screen is rotated to right this disappears.
22-01-2012 18:37
I have the same problem, but on all images that aren't blue or black !
This isn't my phone but my mother's one. When I bought the phone to her I didn't notice this problem...
23-01-2012 6:18
I noticed this problem too, but only when reading e-book in complete darkness. OMG, is there no end to bugs, problems and omissions?! Can this be corrected in software or is it a permanent hardware issue?

c r a p p y display, dissappointment on nowadays trend. IMHO Nokia shall replace all Lumia 800 display with a new one!!!
Another question; is there anyone that doesn't suffering from this issue?

GREENBURGH, N.Y. (AP) - Employees of a suburban New York school district are suing their superintendent over what they describe as a hostile workplace filled with racial, religious and sexual slurs.
The Journal News reports that a principal, the human resources director, two guidance counselors and four teachers filed a federal against Greenburgh Superintendent Ronald O. Ross and members of the Board of Education.
According to the lawsuit filed Thursday in federal court in White Plains, Ross used offensive language in referring to the race of both black and white employees.
The lawsuit says Ross called women by demeaning names and made inappropriate comments about people's weight.
It says he told a Muslim employee she was a danger to students because of "her people."
A district spokeswoman said the district could not comment.

text: The Jaguars' much-improved secondary suffered a blow this week when starting LCB Rashean Mathis (knee) was placed on injured reserve. Fellow starter Derek Cox will take over at left corner, with undersized reserve William Middleton stepping into the starting lineup on the right side. Middleton was up and down while starting four games earlier this season when Cox was unavailable. Defensive coordinator Mel Tucker, who was calling more man coverage with his corners this season, might scale back the aggressiveness following the injury to Mathis, we hear. A situation to keep an eye on will be the performance of Cox, who is playing the best football of his career but appeared to have his confidence shaken early last season when asked to play on the left side. It is a tough break for Mathis, a free agent at the end of the season who was putting together a solid campaign. Jacksonville could end up re-signing Mathis at a discounted rate because of the injury.

Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has sued Washington City Paper over a column titled "The Crazy Redskins Fan's Guide to Dan Snyder."
The lawsuit seeks at least $1 million in damages and claims the weekly paper used "lies, half-truths, innuendo and anti-Semitic imagery to smear, malign, defame and slander."
The story has an altered photo of Snyder with horns and a beard drawn in pen. The owner will contribute any monetary damages received to groups that assist the homeless.
Washington City Paper's managing editor Mike Madden wrote on the paper's Web site that the image "is meant to resemble the type of scribbling that teenagers everywhere have been using to deface photos for years. … The image of Snyder doesn't look like an 'anti-Semitic caricature' — it looks like a devil."

Fresh apples are so delicious.
Though apples taste good all year, they are especially crisp and flavorful right now. It is no surprise that the North Country is full of apple-related traditions, such as picking apples at the orchard, canning applesauce and enjoying apple pies. Not only are we lucky to have so many orchards nearby, but also to have such a huge variety of apples. Each orchard has its own unique offerings, from hard cider to petting zoos.
My favorite quality of the apple is how low maintenance it is. It is the perfect grab-and-go food; no need for refrigeration or cutting and peeling, and it is resilient to a few bumps if it is rolling around the bottom of your bag. Apples are also very versatile and taste great raw or cooked and added to sweet and savory dishes. There is such variety in types of apples that everyone can find one to love, whether it is juicy, has a crispy texture, or has a sweet or tart flesh.
If you are looking to do something with apples — besides enjoying them as is — this is a great time of year to experiment. If you buy a big bag at a local orchard or are lucky enough to have apples growing in your yard, there are so many ways to use them. Here are some ideas:
▶ Slice raw apples and pair with sharp cheese or peanut butter and yogurt as a dip. They can also be added to peanut-butter or ham sandwiches, or mixed into a green salad or coleslaw.
▶ Baked apples taste great when stuffed with oatmeal, cinnamon and a little maple syrup. They can also be filled with blue cheese and pine nuts. Top chicken or pork with apple slices before baking them for a sweet compliment to a main dish. Apples also taste great on top of white pizza with spinach and bacon.

|Panthers take 4-game winning streak into break
|Wednesday, January 02, 2013 5:02 PM
By JIM LANGHAM
With the addition of recent wins over Van Wert and Bluffton, the Paulding boys basketball team is currently taking its traditional Christmas holiday break with a four game winning streak to its credit.
On Dec. 18, the local squad ambushed a strong Van Wert team that came into Paulding with a 4-1 record by a score of 62-50.
Going into the second half, Van Wert head coach Dave Froelich was fairly comfortable with the Cougars' 25-20 lead, so much so that he was willing to gamble on keeping sharp-shooting A.J. Smith on the bench with two fouls.
That would usually be pretty good strategy, said Froelich, but things didn't quite work out the way he had hoped when the Panthers came back on the floor for the final 16 minutes.

ORANGE Emus Junior Rugby Club president Geoff Potts is hopeful a strong 2014 season will continue to see the club prosper well into the future.
The junior Greens will host their first sign-on day of the upcoming winter this afternoon at Endeavour Oval and Potts, also coaching the club's under 13s in 2014, is confident strong junior numbers will further strengthen the senior club's colts ranks.
With challenges remaining from rugby league, soccer and AFL, Potts hopes the lure of a family-orientated club will add to the Emus ranks.
"Rugby is a great sport to play. The camaraderie, mateship ... the environment we have here is very much family-orientated. The majority of the blokes coaching have kids running around," Potts enthused.
"Our facilities, this is our ground. Everything is in place."
Yesterday Potts took the time to unveil the club's coaching team in 2014, with Anthony Cook and Lee Cornish set to coach the Emus under 7s, Mark Jacobs the under 9s and Derek Scott and John Gibson the under 11s.
Potts will mentor the under 13s with Dave Duncan in charge of the under 15s, and Ben Bright and Keith Howarth will co-coach the Emus under 17s.
All have previously played with Emus.
"We'd like to see numbers for under 15s and under 17s," Potts said.
"Brighty and Keith helped out with the 17s last year, there's plenty of knowledge there, they've won premierships. They can pass on their knowledge to the kids."
The club's first sign-on day is today at Endeavour Oval from 5pm to 7pm.
Another sign-on day will be held on Sunday from 10am to 1pm, also at Endeavour Oval.
The junior rugby season kicks off after Easter, with training set to begin in March.

FGCU Soccer Camps a Success!
FORT MYERS, Fla. - The FGCU men's soccer program held two summer camps in June, and both were a huge success. Campers, ranging in age from 6-18, worked directly with the FGCU staff both on and off campus.
The Day Camp held at North Collier Regional Park in Naples, FL increased its numbers from the 2007, and the group had a blast spending the morning session on the field and the afternoon session at the water park. The combination of productive soccer instruction and fun on the water park's slides, diving boards and pools is perfect for the mid-June weather in Southwest Florida.
The Overnight Camp was held at the FGCU main campus and marked the men's soccer program's inaugural year of holding an overnight session. The turnout of over 120 campers was a talented, competitive and respectful group that received focused instruction and participated in some very competitive games. The level of soccer improved over the course of the camp, and with tired legs all campers went home better players.
"We couldn't be happier with how our camps went this summer," said FGCU head men's soccer coach Bob Butehorn. "We were able to work with many young local players, and we also got the opportunity to train older players from around the country. We expect all of our camps to continue to grow in the years to come."
FGCU Men's Soccer is currently preparing for the opening of its fall season in August, when they will travel to Columbus, Ohio to open the season with games against Ohio State and Penn State. The Eagles' first home game will be September 12 at 7 pm against Seattle.
FGCU Men's Soccer will also hold its second annual Winter Camp in January of 2009. Stay tuned to www.fgcuathletics.com for details.

Lions RB Jahvid Best will likely begin the season on the physically-unable-to-perform list, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Best played in only six games last season because of concussions, and he has yet to be cleared for contact. If he begins the season on the PUP list, Best will miss at least the first six games of 2012.
In those six games last season, Best had 390 yards rushing, 287 yards receiving and three total touchdowns. As a rookie, he appeared in all 16 games and had 555 yards rushing, 487 yards receiving and six scores.

Jessica Hecht and Jeremy Shamos Host Obie Awards May 20; Meryl Streep Presents Lifetime Achievement Honor
By Andrew Gans
Jessica Hecht and Jeremy Shamos — who are currently starring in the Tony-nominated The Assembled Parties, by Obie-winning playwright Richard Greenberg — co-host The 58th Annual Obie Awards May 20 at Webster Hall in the East Village.
Oscar winner Meryl Streep will present awards to the joint 2013 Lifetime Achievement Award recipients, Lois Smith and Frances Sternhagen.
Both Sternhagen and Smith have previously received Obie Awards for individual performances. Together their joint careers represent some 120 years of creative contribution to our national culture. Each, this year, took on a major role in a brand-new play Off-Broadway, Smith in Sam Shepard's Heartless (Pershing Square Signature Center) and Sternhagen in Liz Flahive's The Madrid (Manhattan Theatre Club).
Presenters for the evening also include Bobby Cannavale, Tracee Chimo, Cyndi Lauper, Judith Light, Krysta Rodriguez, Duncan Sheik and Courtney B. Vance. Attendees will enjoy performances by the new Off-Broadway musical Here Lies Love and the Brazilian jazz-pop group Banda Magda.
Founded in 1955 by Voice cultural editor Jerry Tallmer, The Village Voice Obie Awards annually honor the best of Off-Broadway and Off-Off Broadway. Unlike most theatre awards, the Obies do not publicize nominations or employ rigid categories. In the "conviction that creativity is not competitive, the judges select outstanding artists and productions and may even invent new categories to reward artistic merit," according to press notes.
Tickets are available by visiting obies.villagevoice.com. Webster Hall is located at 125 East 11th Street.

When I was in college, I went to Cozumel with my boyfriend and immediately fell in love with the beautiful island. White sands, turquoise blue waters and the most amazing coral reefs I have ever seen.
Some years later, we decided to go back and get married there. We even spent three years living there in paradise. I will always remember how friendly the people from Cozumel are…their charm is unlike anyone else's. And I'll never forget the Sunday parties they used to have in the downtown square, complete with live music, delicious food and coconut ice cream.
If you visit Cozumel, I suggest you rent a convertible and go around the island. It only takes about two hours, and the other side of the island (the undeveloped side) has wonderful views of the open sea.
An excellent area for snorkeling or relaxing is an ecological reserve named Chankanaab Park. There are also many nice restaurants. Three of the most traditional that I suggest are Pepe's Grill, Las Palmeras and Ernesto's Fajitas Factory. And, if you like to shop, Cozumel has excellent jewelry stores, original hand crafts and souvenirs in the downtown area.
I just went back to Cozumel in June 2011 after 24 years to visit my son who had taken a summer job there. I broke into tears when he met me at the ferry from Playa del Carmen. To see him there made me feel like the story started all over again!
Cozumel has not changed all that much since my first visit and it is amazing how peaceful and how well kept the island is. If you couldn't tell already, Cozumel is my favorite place on Earth and I hope to retire there one day…
This week on the RCI blog, we'll be showing you photos and stories from RCI subscribing members who have had a chance to experience what Cozumel has to offer. Be sure to come back!
And if you want to learn more about Mexico this weekend, be sure to watch "Mexico: The Royal Tour" on public TV stations across the U.S. (click here for the details).

Once a center for sorcery and alchemy, magical Prague has enchanted visitors for centuries. This affordable extension gives you two additional days to fall under its spell. From your hotel on the banks of the Vltava River, you'll have easy access to the city's highlights, including Prague Castle—believed to be the largest ancient castle in the world; the Old Town Square, with its famous astronomical clock; Charles Bridge; Josefov, the heart of Prague's Jewish culture; and Wenceslas Square—once an ancient horse-trading site and now a modern shopping center. Your included three-day public transportation pass makes it easy to explore.
Available only with the Air Inclusive Package.
Single supplement: $195
Day 1 - Depart U.S.
Depart the U.S. for the Czech Republic. The particulars of your arrival overseas are detailed with your flight itinerary and airline tickets.
Day 2 - Independent exploration of Prague
Upon arrival at the Prague airport, claim your luggage and clear customs. If your luggage is lost, you must fill out a PIR form before leaving the customs area—VBT representatives are not allowed into the customs area. Also, make sure that your VBT luggage tags are attached to your bags so that your representative can identify you.
Upon leaving customs, enter the arrival hall and look for your VBT representative, who will be holding a VBT sign. Your representative welcomes you to Prague and helps you transfer via taxi or van (approximately 30 minutes, depending on traffic) to your Prague hotel. If your VBT representative is not immediately in sight, there is a "Meeting Point Column" just outside of the Arrivals gate. Please wait there, as the VBT representative may be transferring with an earlier arrival. She should arrive within 30 minutes of your scheduled arrival.
If you arrive early, your hotel room may not be available until 1:00 pm. You may store your luggage with the reception desk. The rest of the day is free to relax or begin your exploration of the city with your included 3-day Prague Transportation Pass.
At the hotel, our VBT Representative, Barbara, will be available to offer information about getting around and about restaurants and sites of interest. You will also have the option to book a walking tour of the city (at an additional cost of approximately €22-28). Barbara's schedule varies and is dependent on the group members' arrivals. Her actual schedule will be relayed upon arrival in Prague.
VBT provides you with City Information in your Final Travel Booklet that includes information and recommendations on what to see and do during your stay in Prague.
Day 3 - Independent exploration of Prague
Explore Prague's unsurpassed culture and history. You may wish to visit Prague Castle, the city's most popular site. Originally constructed during the ninth century, the castle has been expanded over the centuries from a wooden fortress surrounded by earthen bulwarks into an imposing citadel. Today, spread over 18 acres, it is the largest ancient castle in the world, averaging 1,870 feet (570 meters ) long and 420 feet (128 meters ) wide. Admire the classical Baroque facade dating to the 18th-century reign of Maria Theresa and fascinating mix of architectural styles.
Also well worth a visit is the Jewish Quarter, "Josefov," named after the Emperor Josef II, whose reforms helped to ease living conditions there. Located in the Old Town, the Jewish Quarter contains the remains of Prague's former Jewish ghetto. Since many Jewish people died during World War II or were forced by the Communist regime to leave the country, the current Prague community numbers only 5,000 to 6,000 people.
First recorded as early as 1091, the Old Town is the oldest of Prague's towns. Its center, the Old Town Square, is dominated by the Gothic-style Church of Our Lady Before Tyn and the Town Hall. You might also wish to explore the "New" Town, founded in the 14th century.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Coal miner Alliance Resource Partners
L.P. said Friday that it plans to close a Kentucky mine in December and
cut 142 jobs at the site due to weak demand for coal.
The Pontiki
mine has operated for 36 years. It was temporarily idled last year for
about three months following a closure order by the Mine Safety and
Health Administration.
The company said it knew the market outlook
was uncertain when it reopened the mine last year, but it remained hopeful
that conditions would improve. But it said Friday that market
conditions remain weak and the company has been unable to secure new
sales contracts beyond 2013.
Coal companies have been struggling with
weaker demand due to stiffer federal regulations on the horizon and
cheap natural gas prices, which have lured away some of its power company
Alliance Resource Partners continues to work on
projects in the Illinois Basin and Northern Appalachia, and the
company is evaluating options to provide employment opportunities to
Pontiki personnel at sites in those regions.
The Tulsa,

It's been 15 years since the death of the United Farm Workers' Cesar Chavez — way past time to make his birthdate of March 31 a national holiday. Petitions urging Congress to do just that are now being circulated, appropriately on the 40th anniversary of the 25-day fast that was one of the most extreme and most effective of his many truly heroic acts.
It's been 15 years since the death of the United Farm Workers' Cesar Chavez — way past time to make his birthdate of March 31 a national holiday. Petitions urging Congress to do just that are now being circulated, appropriately on the 40th anniversary of the 25-day fast that was one of the most extreme and most effective of his many truly heroic acts.
Like Martin Luther King Jr., who's rightly honored with a national holiday, Chavez inspired and energized millions of people worldwide to seek – and to win – basic human rights that had long been denied them and inspired millions of others to join the struggle.
A national holiday would be a well-deserved tribute to Latinos and organized labor. Even more than that, it would be a special opportunity to remind Americans everywhere of the profound lessons of Chavez' extraordinary life.
He showed, above all, that the poor and oppressed can prevail against even the most powerful opponents – if they can organize themselves and adopt non-violence as their principal tactic.
"We have our bodies and spirits and the justice of our cause as our weapons," Chavez explained. The cause, of course, was that of the highly exploited farm worker. As a farm worker himself, Chavez carefully put together a grass-roots organization that enabled the workers to form their own union, the United Farm Workers. Then they won the essential support of millions of outsiders who heeded the UFW's call to boycott the grapes, lettuce and other produce of growers who refused to grant them union rights.
Many others before him had tried and failed to form an effective farm workers' union and few – if any – of those who claimed expertise in such matters thought Chavez would be any different. But they failed to account for the tactical brilliance, creativity and just plain stubbornness of Chavez, a sad-eyed, disarmingly soft-spoken man who talked of militancy in calm, measured tones, a gentle and incredibly patient man who hid great strategic talent behind shy smiles and an appearance of utter candor.
It took five years, but in 1970 the UFW finally won the first farm union contracts in history. Five years after that, the union won the pioneering
The struggle for those first union contracts was extremely difficult for the impoverished farm workers, and Chavez risked his health - perhaps his life – to provide them extreme examples of the sacrifices necessary for victory. Most notably, he engaged in lengthy, highly publicized fasts, such as the 25-day ordeal in February and March of 1968 that helped rally the public to the farm workers' cause and that may very well have contributed to his untimely death at 66 in 1993.
Chavez had another urgent purpose. He dedicated the fast to reaffirming the principles of non-violence that had guided his union from its founding four years earlier.
Chavez was concerned that the frustrations of the grape pickers, who had been on strike for three years, were turning toward violence. Fearing that "someone would hurt someone" if picketing continued at the vineyards the union had struck and well aware that victory would come from peaceful urban boycott activities rather than picketing, Chavez called off the picketing.
Then he retired to a small, white-walled storeroom at the UFW's headquarters in
Chavez broke the fast before 4,000 supporters at an ecumenical mass in
Despite the UFW's successes since then, many farm workers are still mired in poverty, their pay and working and living conditions a national disgrace.
A national Cesar Chavez Day should remind us of that, and of the continuing necessity to take forceful legal steps and other action to finally provide a decent life for all those who do the hard, dirty and dangerous work that puts food on our tables.
We need, in short, to carry on what Cesar Chavez began.

In this week's installment of Who's Doing What we take a look at Houses of Worship that have received technical facelifts. From California to Illinois to England, parishioners are enjoying snazzier services.
Shadow Mountain Church in El Cajon, California, recently purchased an Innova-Son large-scale digital console (below). Ten years ago, the church constructed a 2,500-seat sanctuary, and recently, they began renovation of the video, lighting, and sound system equipment. Campus sound director Tim Hunten worked with church member and owner of Sound Technology Consultants, Vance Breshears, on the installation of the console. The 120-channel Innova-Son Sensory provides inputs for the church's 150-voice choir, 30-piece orchestra, outboard effects processors, and numerous onstage, offstage, and ceiling hung microphones. Other updates include multi-effects units, including an Eventide DSP7000, a TC Electronic 3000, a TC Electronic D-Two, and a Yamaha SPX1000, along with a BSS Soundweb system processor. Ultimately, Hunten and Breshears plan to overhaul the entire sound system.
Bethel United Church of Jesus Christ (Apostolic) recently completed their new church facility in West Bromwich, UK. Tim Cooper Associates and Adonis Construction served as architects for the project. The space boasts a 3,500-seat worship space, 1,000-seat restaurant, coffee bar, meeting rooms, and training rooms. The facility utilizes a wide range of products including: Allen & Heath's GL3300, Martin Audio loudspeakers, QSC PLX amplifiers, Sharp 3000 video projectors, a Panasonic MX20 vision mixer, and a Zero 88 Series 250 lightning desk, among others.
The newly constructed 400-seat Calvary Chapel in Glenview, Illinois, chose to use Sound Physics Labs' SPL-td1 point source loudspeaker and its boundary compliant SPL-trik monitor. Dave Phillips, site manager and technical director and engineer, used ATM flyware to secure four SPL-td1s in a center cluster above the congregation and four feet in front of the stage (below). The speakers are angled down and cover all the seating in a circular configuration. The SPL-trik multi-purpose boxes are arranged around the stage. In the near future Phillips plans on splitting up the cluster for stereo operation and purchasing three more SPL-triks for the church's entertainment center.
St. Paul's in Hammersmith, England (below), is a 1000 capacity building, constructed in 1880. It's situated just opposite the Labatt's Apollo and near the Hammersmith Broadway Centre. Recently, in an effort to involve and stimulate the local community, the church received a lighting facelift from Lightfactor. Lightfactor supplied four LightProcessor Paradime rack-mounting dimmers and a LightProcessor Q24 control desk. To add pizzazz to St.Paul's concerts and services, Lightfactor also supplied a moving light system. Electrical contractors DC Moss and TF Electrical installed the Lightfactor equipment.

AHS principal in hot water for shutting down pledge
Alliance Superintendent Troy Unzicker is not saying whether Alliance High Principal Pat Jones will be disciplined for not having students say the Pledge of Allegiance.
On Monday of last week Jones told students they wouldn't be reciting the pledge that day, pointing out that the federal government had been partially shut down since Oct. 1. Scottsbluff station KDUH reports that some students were outraged by Jones' decision, and one woman said her son stood up in class and recited the pledge anyway.
Unzicker (UHN'-zih--kur) told The Associated Press Monday that Jones hadn't cleared his plan with administrators. Unzicker says
it's district policy that teachers lead their classes in reciting the pledge each school day.

Chris Rankin to Finish Filming "Deathly Hallows" in MayRankin
Earlier this week, Chris Rankin (Percy Weasley) and Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) were among those to speak on the Harry Potter Day at Leeds Young People's Film Festival. In a follow up interview about the event, Chris Rankin mentioned that he was due to finish filming "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" shortly. Talking to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Rankin said, "I finish filming mid-May so there's not long to go. It will be strange and very sad to say goodbye."
The Percy Weasley actor also described the Hyde Park Picture House - where the Harry Potter film marathon took place - as "the cinema which time forgot." Rankin remarked that it was "fantastic" to see grandparents and grandchildren together at the event, "enjoying the films as a family." You can find the article on the Yorkshire Evening Post website, at this link.

Inside the cabin, an eight-inch touch screen controls audio, climate, navigation and available apps as part of Chevy's second generation MyLink system. While all new car interface systems come with a learning curve, the Chevy system is easily mastered through touch, voice or drag movements.
It seems to have borrowed from the Cadillac CUE system with its display of high res 3D navigation mapping. Searchable apps include weather forecasts and alerts, HD radio and other popular sites.
Many of the screen touch controls are mimicked with redundant knobs in the center stack for those who prefer manual adjustments.
One innovative feature adds a storage bin at center dash. With the press of a button, the center screen lifts vertically toward the windshield for glove box type storage that is lockable with a four-digit screen code.
For passenger safety, the Impala includes 10 airbags, available collision mitigation braking, adaptive cruise control, forward collision alert, lane departure warning and side mirror blind zone alerts. A rear camera system with guidelines and rear cross traffic alert system is also available.
The new Impala is a huge improvement over the previous model and provides consumers with a relatively inexpensive alternative to much higher priced luxury sedans.

Summary Details
German Quotatives

|Linguistic LingField(s):
Discourse Analysis
?I am looking for information on German quotatives, specifically und ich/er so.''
?Und ich so? often occurs in storytelling, paired with some kind of gesture or vocal sound effect ?turning the quote into an enactment or performance? (Golato, 2000, pg.31). A couple respondents have suggested that use of this quotative is becoming acceptable to use in other environments. While ?und ich so? is most often attributed to teenagers, Golato?s study found evidence of this quotatives use by college-age speakers and those from thirty to fifty years of age.

Chad Nilep was kind enough to send me his bibliography on quotatives:
A short excerpt:
Klamer, Marian. How Report Verbs become Quote Markers and Complementisers. Lingua; 2000, 110(2). 69-98.
Macaulay, Ronald. You're Like 'Why Not?' The Quotative Expressions of Glasgow Adolescents. Journal of Sociolinguistics; 2001, 5(1). Feb, 3-21.
Waksler, Rachelle. A New all in Conversation. American Speech; 2001, 76(2). 128-138.
Due to the character limit, I?m including only a small sample of individual comments:
??the most typical form is 'er/sie meinte ''..''' oder 'er meint', often in context with 'und dann meint er ''...'''. This form is more frequently but not exclusively used by young people, still, it is fairly colloquial. Only young people would say '...und er so ''...'''. Of course, the combination
of the two is possible: 'und dann meint er so ''..'''.?
-Katalin Mady
?the German quotative is used by people with little skills in storytelling. The quotative obviously enables them to avoid any transformation of the dialogue they talk about. Especially teenagers are often heard to utilize it? .
The form ''ich/er so'' is used both with the conjunction ''und'' and without. To most people, this sounds a bit clumsy. It is certainly stigmatized (e.g. comedians use it to make fun of teenagers or dumb persons).? ?Jan Bruners
?A ''cited'' non-linguistic behaviour (gesture etc) after this kind of expression with ''so'' is obligatory, whereas an utterance is not. An utterance in that case might be even a comment (by the speaker) on the cited behaviour. With ''so'' included one tries to attract visual attention (in addition to acoustic). So, the formula with ''so'' is usually not used without potential visual contact (phone etc, except,
possibly, for cases of quotation of very special sounds )
All this is not the case with the the formula without ''so'' (''er darauf: ...'' etc.), where any immediately following utterance is a quotation (never a comment by the speaker)? -Markus Lang

Microsoft Servers and Their Roadmaps
Download Now Free registration required
Executive Summary
The next two years are going to be big ones for Microsoft, in terms of the various server launches the com?pany has on its plate. Going into those launches, there are a few points worth keeping in mind regarding Microsoft's stated mission to cloud-enable every product in its stable as well as the way it positions both its existing and future products. However, many of Microsoft's server teams have become almost as reticent as its client and consumer teams to share official roadmaps and target ship dates. That means many of the roadmaps for these products are based on leaks, source-reports and educated "guesstimates."
Download this free cheat sheet from ZDNet's All About Microsoft editor Mary Jo Foley to learn what's likely coming in the next year or more across Microsoft's private and public cloud families of products.

A lawyer is someone who is licensed to practice law, and there are a wide range of options in the field of law. Some duties commonly associated with a lawyer include: providing legal advice and counsel, researching and gathering information or evidence, drawing up legal documents related to divorces, wills, contracts and real estate transactions, and prosecuting or defending in court.
The exact terminology for the word "lawyer" varies throughout the world. Attorney, counsel, barrister or solicitor are all various names given to lawyers. The origin of the profession dates back to ancient Greece, when orators spoke on behalf of friends or citizens at their request. Although they acted as legal counsel, according to Athenian law, orators could not be paid for their services, nor could they organize themselves as a legal profession. The earliest lawyers in ancient Rome, around 204 BC, received payment for their services when Emperor Claudius legalized the profession and lifted the ban on fees.
A lawyer has many responsibilities which go beyond the basic court trial. Researching information, drafting documents, mediating disputes and providing counsel to clients about their legal rights are just some tasks involved depending on your area of interest.
Types of Lawyers:
Divorce Lawyer
- Focuses on the legal matters of divorce and the dissolution of marriage
Immigration Lawyer
- Determines the legal rights, duties and obligations of a person deemed an alien and aids an individual in gaining legal citizenship within a specific country
Accident and Personal Injury Lawyer
- Usually involves civil law cases that focus on injury to body, mind or emotions and compensation for the injuries sustained in the accident
Business and Corporate Lawyer
- Focuses on contracts, sales, commercial paper, agency and employment law, business organizations and property and bailment
Family Lawyer
- Deals with family related issues that arise during marriage, civil unions and domestic partnerships that include spousal abuse, legitimacy, adoption, surrogacy, child abuse and child abduction
Criminal Lawyer
- Focuses on crimes and their punishments
Bankruptcy Lawyer
- Focuses on individuals or organizations that make legal declarations stating their inability to pay their creditors
Employment Lawyer
- Governs the employer-employee relationship which includes contracts, regulations, bargaining agreements, protection against discrimination, wages and hours, health and safety, and severance negotiations
Would you make a good lawyer? Sokanu's free assessment reveals your exact compatibility with this career, your strengths, and any unique areas of interest.
Becoming a lawyer is a long and competitive process. A bachelor's degree from an accredited four-year university is mandatory. An associate's degree will not suffice. Your major is not important since this will not affect your chances of entering law school, but your grade point average will. Maintaining a high grade point average (GPA) throughout your four years is important.
Once you have completed your bachelor's degree, the next step is to take the entrance exam known as the LSAT (Law School Admissions Test). This is a half-day exam so preparation is important. Investing in study guides, practice tests and a LSAT prep course will help with your success.
The next step is applying to a law school. Your GPA and LSAT scores will influence your chances of acceptance. Most schools minimum score requirement will decide your application being considered.
Once accepted, expect to spend a minimum of three years as a full-time student. Law school focuses on essay exams and requires formulating information in a way acceptable to your professor, so it is imperative to adopt to this style of learning early.
Next, after graduating law school, you must prepare for the bar exam. The best way to prepare and pass on the first try is to take the bar review course. The money is worth the investment because it aids in organizing your thoughts and ensures you covered all the necessary information.
The last step is passing the Character and Fitness evaluation. This is an extensive and intrusive investigation into your personal history and records to decide your ethics in practicing law.
Education is not the only skill needed for this profession. The ability to articulate effectively, be persuasive, mediate disputes, and recall large volumes of legal documents and precedents are all essential.
A lawyer can work in a law firm, private company, or even work for state as a public defender or for the prosecution. Most attorneys work 50-80 hours per week, including weekends. The newly hired attorneys usually serve as clerks in charge of researching information and aiding in preparation for upcoming trials.

KoAlana Ukulele
KoAlana ukuleles are KoAloha's budget range of ukes. These ukuleles are still solid wood but sapele rather than koa. They are produced in China and finished in KoAloha's Hawaii factory.
The comments I've read on the net about them seem very positive. At their low price (under $200), they do seem like a very good deal. The only downside is that they're pretty hard to get your hands on (probably because of the high demand and low price).

Coke Bring Mello Yello back to the Pittsburgh Area
This petition is to plead to Coke that it bring the soft drink "Mello Yello" back into the Pittsburgh Area. Coke has recently stopped producing and bottling "Mello Yello" in this area. Coke fans now only have sprite, the crappy tasting Vault, and the never ending variations of Coke itself, diet coke, vanilla coke, coke zero..etc. I know Coke has struggled with sales in this area but eliminating a product is not the answer. So please sign this petition to bring "Mello Yello" back.

A business can't survive without good sales and the salespeople that go with it. You can train your team to be the best without spending a lot of money. Here's an article that describes what I am talking about.
"There are two types of training that fall under the umbrella of "sales training." The first is teaching the mechanics of sales: how to go about selling in the general sense, with an emphasis perhaps on the sales techniques that work best for your industry. The second is company-specific training: details about your products and services, the sales process that your team is expected to use, tools and resources, etc."
