I want to encode a audio file from PCM code to G.729. Does S60 support that? Is there some API I
can use?
I found out it is possible to encode PCM to AMR. There is a ID related to AMR in some .h file in
EPOC, but there is nothing about G.729. Could anyone give me some tips. Or I must write encode
PCM to G.729 myself?

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Start in a wide crack that you can protect well and stem up to avoid potential loose rock. From the main ledge place good gear in the north facing crack system and pull a bulge to access a nice right leaning hand crack that leads to mellow face climbing. A few 5.9 moves and some careful movement to avoid loose rock. We cleaned some, but not all of the rocks off (dogs below). Rock quality for gear is great, just watch what you step on and pull on!
Upslope from Proto Pipe, this route goes up the prominent crack system to a ledge and then up the north facing crack-face system to end up higher than the top of Proto Pipe on a narrow top.
Doubles to #3 would be safe, though you'll likely use much less. 6-8 longer draws.

The "Holy Stones" are a series of carved and polished stones bearing Hebrew inscriptions, said to have been found in the ancient mounds near Newark, Ohio in the 1860s. They were seized upon by those who believed "savage" Indians could not have built Ohio's mounds, but have been considered frauds since the late 1800s. However, some enthusiasts have recently claimed they might be authentic. What are the "Holy Stones?" Are they evidence of pre-Columbian visitations by ancient Hebrews? If they are clever frauds, what were the perpetrators' motives?

Through two preseason games, rookie wide receiver Kenny Stills and 'redshirt' rookie Nick Toon have gotten plenty of on-field. Both have played well in their opportunity.
Through two preseason games, Stills has five catches for 86 yards and a touchdown. Toon has five receptions for 122 yards.
Their effort was good enough for the Saints to release veterans Steve Breaston and Patrick Crayton on Monday.
Both Breaston and Crayton were brought in to provide veteran depth, but with the emergence of the two youngsters, Coach Payton felt now was the time to make a change.
"Both of them are picking things up fairly quickly and getting acclimated to what we are doing," said Payton. "It's that natural progression that takes place over eight years and it's continuing to develop younger players so that they are ready when that opportunity comes up."
For Stills though, the recent roster reductions are of no concern to him. He knows he still has a long way to go and his focus remains the same.
"That's not something we're supposed to pay attention to, "said Stills. "I hope and pray that I'm doing my job and I can be a part of this team."
After Monday's moves they appear to be one step closer.

It was a wild chase, or a long one at least, that closed a section of Interstate 635 for an hour Wednesday night.
Police said the chase started after someone was shot at in the Turner area.
The chase went all the way up by Kansas City International Airport, to Tiffany Springs Parkway and back south again.
Somewhere along the way, police threw stop sticks. It is unknown yet if that played a part in the car eventually rolling into the median on southbound I-635 just south of the I-29 split.
The wreck happened at 8 p.m.
Officers on the scene say there were two men, two women and a 16-year-old girl in the car. None of them were injured. All five were taken into police custody.

The Pirates will be heading back to Bradenton, Fla. -- their winter home since 1969 -- filled with the usual optimism surrounding a club about to begin a new campaign.As Bucs fans prepare for their journey to the Gulf Coast to catch their club in person, here are some questions and answers that should help make it a fun trip: When do the Pirates arrive at camp?
Pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training on Feb. 15, with the position players following on Feb. 20. The first full-squad workout is Feb. 21. When do games start?
After an annual charity game against Manatee Community College on Feb. 28, the Bucs' Grapefruit League schedule opens the next day at McKechnie Field, where the Pirates host the division-rival Reds. How do I get tickets?
Tickets for all Pirates Spring Training games at McKechnie Field went on sale Jan. 21, and can be purchased online, at the McKechnie Field box office or by calling the Pirates at 877-893-2827. McKechnie Field holds 6,562 fans, and the stadium concourse includes a variety of concession stands. There is also an onsite Pirates Clubhouse store just outside the main entrance. Ticket prices for games at McKechnie Field range from $8 to $16. Where is Bradenton and how do I get there?
Bradenton is located on the Gulf Coast of Florida, approximately 35 miles south of the Tampa/St. Petersburg area. Although there are no non-stop flights available from Pittsburgh to the Bradenton area, fans flying in from the Steel City have a couple of airport options. The Bradenton-Sarasota airport is a 10-15 minute drive from McKechnie Field. The larger airport in Tampa is about an hour drive from Bradenton. Both facilities have several rental car companies onsite. To get to the McKechnie Field from the Bradenton-Sarasota airport, take route US 41 north for seven miles, bear right on 29th Ave. West, take the ramp towards Ninth Street West, and turn left on Ninth Street West. McKechnie Field will be on your right. To get to the McKechnie Field from the Tampa airport, follow I-275 south for 35 miles and take exit #5 to Bradenton/Palmetto. Continue south on US 41 for five miles. McKechnie Field will be on your left.

White Sox
Grapefruit League:

Red Sox
There is no admission to see the Pirates work out on their fields at Pirates City. The Major League team uses the four full fields for their morning workouts prior to the start of the exhibition schedule. The Pirates and visiting teams will take batting and infield practice at McKechnie Field prior to exhibition games. Pirates players can also sometimes be seen taking batting practice in the indoor batting cages behind the concourse on the first-base side. Minor Leaguers will use the Pirates City fields for their camps beginning in early March. Where can I get some autographs?
The best place for Pirates fans to get autographs before the exhibition schedule is in the area behind the four batting cages at Pirates City. Once games begin, the seats along the first-base line and near the bullpen in right field are prime spots for autograph seekers. Players will often stop to sign autographs after batting practice, following games and occasionally after they are removed early from games. What else is there to do in Bradenton?
To many, Bradenton is a shopper's paradise. Strip malls line many of the main streets in town, and there is no shortage of restaurants available to choose from regardless of your culinary tastes. Downtown Bradenton is also just a short 10 minute drive from Bradenton Beach, where there are several public beaches available and a plethora of seafood restaurants offering their latest catches. For more information on Bradenton, visit the city's Web site at www.cityofbradenton.com. When do the Pirates open the regular season?
The Pirates will kick off their 121st season in the National League on April 2 against the Astros at Minute Maid Park. The Bucs will return to PNC Park on April 9 for their 1:35 p.m. home opener against the World Series champion Cardinals.

Writing is hard, so do it
Over the last few months I've been working on something that I wouldn't have seen myself doing at any point in my life, and that's the task of writing a book. I'm not talking about a 'Janet & John' novel, or some sort of 'Fifty Shades of Grey' sort of affair, but a proper printed dead tree, trip over it kinda technical book.
It all started back in May/June time when I was approached by a good friend at Heroku, who had been approached in turn by O'Reilly, to produce a book about the platform and some rough ideas for what sort of book might be relevant and saleable. At the end of a fairly lengthy process it ended up that I was the author, had a contract in my hand and a schedule to try and stick to.
Getting started
The first problem I found when starting out on this project was the getting started itself. A technical book is such a strange beast – there's no real start to a subject such as Heroku, nor any end, so how do you approach it? If I were writing some sort of grotty novel then there's a clear approach with introducing characters, developing them and then climaxing with a, er, climax – so how do I approach this with a technical book?
At this point I should probably talk about targeting. If I were writing a book about a subject such as Ruby, I would be starting in the same way as any other programming book would. A spot of "Hello World" and "Fizzbuzz", moving on in a very predictable fashion. However, these books by people who have decided 'Hey! I want to learn Ruby!'.
That's not so much the case with a book about a product, which is essentially what Heroku is. People buying this book are more likely to have used the Heroku stack before, and deployed some stuff to it, and liked it so much that they are now willing to spend $20 on a book about it in order to learn more.
So, where to start?
Well, with this sort of book you end up with a massive list of excerpts that you think should be in. You want to talk about X, Y and Z, but with a bit of A, B and C thrown in for good measure. Only by dumping everything on paper are you able to get down to the business of making sense of it all and the writing itself. There are so may corners to a complex topic such as this that structure is the only place to start thinking about what to write and how. Only by having the skeleton of what you are writing can you move forwards – much like writing code.
So, what do I write with? Pen and paper? Some sort of ye olde clicky clack typewriter and a pipe, so I can discard pages like that guy at the end of the A-Team ?. Or Vim, which I use each and every day to write code? Actually, I settled for IA Writer – a no-nonsense, zero fluff text editor that lets you think purely about the content at hand.
No crap, no formatting, no flashy bits – just words.
Which at this point leads me onto formatting and structure, which all books need to make any sense. In the print industry, and especially O'Reilly, books are generally written in some sort of internal toolchain supported markup. This means that a publisher can drop a load of markup into one end of a pipe and get a formatted printed book / PDF / EPub / Mobi book out the other end. This obviously saves some significant effort on one side but can introduce some pain for the author at the other end.
Therefore, you're limited to writing in a certain way. Markdown (which I prefer, and what this very article is written in) is not generally supported as it's not as feature complete as you need for most of the conventions in a full-blown book. This leaves you with a couple of common options:- Asciidoc, a sort of Markdown on steroids, and Docbook, writing in pure XML.
Obviously I went with Asciidoc.
Pushing this all into Git let's me push and publish out a new PDF to see how my text looks, and means that my editor can get down to looking at content as it arrives. Without the familiarity of Git, I'd be lost.
So, we were writing, and chapters were starting to take shape and things were going well.
Then I broke my leg in a very dramatic fashion. Well, someone broke it for me by knocking me off my motorcycle at 60mph, but there you go.
Now, with a major injury and X-Rays leaving you looking like Wolverine, it's gets kinda hard to focus on the concept of writing, and as such I had to take a three month break from writing the book.
This is where bringing in a co-author (Richard Schneeman from Heroku) is a massive boon, and frankly, a stroke of genius by whoever suggested it. You have two pairs of eyes checking over the content, two people writing the content chapter by chapter and two pairs of ears to listen to the feedback that people give you.
Having a co-author is, in my eyes, essential when writing a technical book.
But why write a book, it sounds hard?
First off, you should never write a book for the money. I've no idea how much money I might make from this work, or even how many copies I might sell, but I do know that even with a thousand copies sold the per rate hour is appalling.
For me, the reason to write is a simple one.
It's a challenge.
It's a challenge to whip up fifty thousand words about a topic that you think you know inside out, but it's more of a challenge to write a chunk of that on content that previously you never knew, nor cared that much about.
Every topic has corners that people will avoid, either because they don't need to know it, or they don't want to know it. Writing a book enforces you to not only look at these things, but also look at them enough that you're able to write well about them, and pass on your new-found knowledge. What's more, you also end up having to hunt out the bits that you haven't mentioned and make sure you've covered everything that you need to cover.
You may start a project thinking that you're proficient in any given subject, but I'll tell you now, writing a book about it will make you feel stupid in comparison with how much knowledge you'll need to cover off in order to produce a topic that people will be willing to spend real money on.
So, get writing
The act of writing itself is not hard.
Writing is easy, anyone can do it. Anyone is able to impart information to the page, but the key comes from being able to write and edit in a way that makes sense and this is where the challenge comes. You will constantly improve with practise but only by pushing yourself into areas that you feel stretched. If I were to compare my writing with that of a year ago I would say it's night and day.
Whether other people agree with me is a different matter.
So, as a developer, I will strongly recommend that writing is something that you need to do. I'm not saying go write a book, I'm saying write anything, anything at all. If you don't have a personal site, set one up, and start dumping in content that you feel you know about and others will find interesting and learn from.
Once you've done this, do it more and more.
Eventually you'll get to the point where the writing comes easy, but more importantly, you're learning as much as your readers are.
Developers need to learn constantly. If you fail to keep learning you will be left behind quicker than in any other industry. By writing you are learning, but also helping others to learn things that they don't already know.
Everyone benefits from writing, but most of all the author. So do it.
Write something – it's challenging, but rewarding.

VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) - About three dozen Washington State Patrol recruits are looking to graduate Friday from the Basic Training Academy in a ceremony at the state Capitol.
The patrol is on a recruiting drive to replace troopers who are entering retirement age.
About 90 troopers will be eligible to retire by the end of the year. There are 720 troopers statewide.
The Columbian reports (http://is.gd/bfRyuN ) the patrol aims to hire 67 troopers every six months. Applicants are carefully screened. They have to pass written and physical tests and complete six months of basic training.
A starting trooper earns about $47,000 a year.

|Move over laws need bigger teeth
|Move over laws need bigger teeth
|Written by Mark Nichols
When people think about police officers killed in the line of duty, they usually envision a cop being killed by an armed assailant with a long criminal history. There's no question that armed assailants represent a very deadly threat to the men and women of public safety. But a greater threat, as far as the numbers go, is a cop getting killed by a vehicle. It could be a crash during a high-speed pursuit or it could be a distracted or careless driver hitting an officer who was handing a pulled over motorist a speeding ticket.
According to a recent article on NWCN.com, Idaho's move over law has been on the books for almost five years but Idaho police say drivers are not obeying it. Several months ago, a car passing too closely shattered the side mirror of a Boise Police patrol car as the officer was pulled over to help a motorist changing a tire.
Nobody was hurt, but officers who are out on the roads say they experience far too many close calls. "Most people slow a little bit," Boise Police Sgt. Kyle Christensen told reporters. "Some people go past us in excess of the posted speed, but on a daily basis, well every time I make a stop I notice people who don't move over."
Christensen has been on patrol with the Boise Police Department for 23 years. He says every stop he makes is dangerous. Not just because you never know who you're dealing with until contact is made, but because not enough people are abiding by Idaho's move over law.
"Sometimes traffic is so heavy that you can't make a lane change, but you're required to do everything in your efforts to move over," Christensen told NWCN. The law's been in effect since 2006 and requires a driver to move over for any police or emergency vehicle that has their lights flashing.
If you can't move over, a driver has to at least slow down well below the posted speed limit. Christensen and his partner say some drivers aren't aware of the law. Others just don't seem to care. "You can see some of them are trying," said Christensen.
"This guy right here is trying to move over, but people just aren't letting him in, but there are other people who have ample opportunity to move over and they just choose not to." Christensen says failing to move over makes his job much more dangerous. "Almost daily people go by and it's very unnerving, especially when you're working someplace like on the interstate where it's a 65 or 75 miles per hour speed limit," Christensen said.
"I've often thought that if I ever get killed in this job it won't be by someone who shoots me, it'll be by someone who runs me over." One of the ways that state officials could put some teeth into the law is by increasing the fine for breaking it. The penalty for failing to move over is an infraction, which costs an $85 fine.
Perhaps it might be time to add a zero to that figure to indicate to drivers the risks that cops on the roads are taking to serve and protect.

University of Tulsa men's basketball coach Doug Wojcik announced Monday that sophomore Donte Medder has left the team and is planning to transfer.
Medder was averaging six minutes of playing time through seven games this season for the Golden Hurricane, which is 4-and-3. The 6'2" point guard from Phoenix had received a medical redshirt after suffering two knee injuries within a nine-month period.
"I am very disappointed that Donte has made the decision to leave our basketball program after only seven games in his attempt to come back following two ACL injuries," said Wojcik. "Despite the progress Donte has made in his return from injury, his playing time has not met his expectations with the two other point guards on our roster."
Prior to the injuries, Medder had played in 34 games as a true freshman, averaging five points, one assist and just under one rebound per game.
Tulsa plays its next game Wednesday night at Oklahoma State.

Two tiny guard dogs are responsible for stopping a home break-in caught on camera.
Thomas Witherington said his two dogs scared away a possible burglar who walked into his home Thursday afternoon.
"I could hear my front door opened by the alarm sounding off," Witherington said.
Since it was just 3:30 p.m., he thought it was his wife and child coming home from school.
"Then I heard the dogs go berserk," he recalled.
That's when Witherington says he looked out of his bedroom window and saw a man leaving his home. "I said, 'Hey, why did you enter my home?' He told me, 'I was just looking to get some water,'" Witherington said.
Phoenix police were called, and Witherington filed a report. Since everything was captured on his home surveillance system, he hopes to turn the video over to investigators.

activities and attractions in Palm Springs Deserts
Palm Springs Overview
Palm Springs is often called the small town with the big city culture. Palm Springs vacation rentals offer visitors a unique opportunity to delight in the city's rich history, cultural events, and stunning natural beauty. The Agua Caliente Band of the Cahuilla Indians inhabited the area for centuries, wintering around the hot mineral springs, where the Spa Resort Casino now resides. After the completion of the railway track in 1877, non-native settlers began moving in but it was not until after World War II that Palm Springs grew into a favored destination of the rich and famous. Today, everyone can enjoy the sunny weather and many activities that make Palm Springs special.
City Highlights
Palm Springs vacation homes give visitors the luxury of comfortable lodgings and the freedom to conveniently enjoy the many sights and sounds of the city. One of the golf capitals of the world, Palm Springs boasts over 100 championship courses. The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway with a vertical ascent of 5,873' takes riders from the sunny desert to breath-taking snow-capped mountains. With over 1,000 slot machines and 40 table games, the Spa Resort Casino is open 24 hours a day for those who love to play. Unique shops and boutiques in the downtown area offer a nostalgic atmosphere where window shopping is a favorite pastime. With a population of just 48,000 people, Palm Springs has a small town flavor with all the attractions of a big city.
Palm Springs vacation rentals are conveniently located so those who love to golf, hike, dine, shop, bike, gamble, or just sit by the pool can easily pursue their interests. Bus tours take visitors on excursions to view famous homes and locations. Live theater is alive and well with the Fabulous Palm Springs Follies, a jubilee of the comedy, music, and dance of the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. No matter what the activity, Palm Springs is the ideal vacation choice.
Eating out is a joy in Palm Springs. There is a place for every taste and budget. Delight in French and Belgian cuisine at the romantic Pomme Frite restaurant. The Kaiser Grille is a popular downtown location for casual dining. The Village Pub is a bar with excellent food and relaxed atmosphere. Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Mexican, and Mediterranean restaurants, as well as abundant cafes, family, and fast food places give visitors a multitude of choices.
Palm Springs may be a small town but when it comes to shopping, it's big city all the way. Downtown Palm Springs on palm tree-lined Palm Canyon Drive houses over 520 shops of every kind imaginable. Clothing, antique shops, vintage stores, home furnishings, art galleries, and card shops line the street and are interspersed with places to eat and sights to see. Those looking for bargains can find them at one of the 150 outlet stores located just west of the downtown area in the Palm Springs Outlet Mall. Saks, Gucci, Versace, Ralph Lauren, and Calvin Klein are just a few of the impressive list of outlet stores that offer famous brands at amazing prices.

IH LBA Engine
Anyone know anything about these?
I bought a IH LB engine and don't know a lot about it. Runs well but doesn't seem to be getting enough oil to the valve rocker assembly. I noticed what looks like an adjustment screw and locking nut on the end of a small pipe. Also one on the rocker shaft assembly. I think the one on the end of the tube is the oil flow adjustment. Confused about the one on the rocker assembly. Does that one just lock the rocker arm shaft in place or is it an oil flow adjustment also?
Always try the easiest thing first.
Re: IH LBA Engine
I have some information on LB engines.. just not a lot .. will check and see if there is anything on the LBA. I know very little about them except what I have read in C. Wendell's book.
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship

Thanks for the info. I found the service and parts manual On oldengine.org
Always try the easiest thing first.
Re: IH LBA Engine
Not sure what you are asking about on the rocker shaft. There is a spacer on the shaft that has a setscrew with a jam nut. That is probably the part in question. The screw with the jam nut at the end of the tube is the vavle oiler adjusting screw. Clockwise decreases the oil and counterclockwise increases it. It should be set to deliver 3 drops of oil per minute when the oil is warmed up.

Reading your newspaper about all the wild taxing and spending going on with the Mt. Vernon City Council for west side projects, I must wonder what the land speculators are up to. I must wonder whose pocket is being filled and whose pocket is being picked. Most likely it is the taxpayer who is being fleeced.
Also reading your newspaper, I can't help comparing the city council with our little Village Board of Ina. Both come up with some cockeyed ways to spend money — leaving the bill to the taxpayer. Where you spend millions to benefit land speculators, millions to build a swimming pool and build sidewalks to nowhere, we spend $100,000 to build a sewer line to nowhere.
Let me explain. Four years ago the village board determined that our village needed to extend a three-quarter mile long sewer line along Oak Street from Ina north to the Sherwood Campground. Oak Street parallels Route 37 about a quarter of a mile west of the highway. The campground is located on the west side of Route 37 across from Kirk Cemetery.
The argument the village board used for the project made about as much sense as installing a tanning bed at a nudist colony. They told us it was needed because a man may want to build housing there for Rend Lake students. Now tell me why a man would want to build student housing on land more than two miles away from the college campus, when land is already available next to it with water and sewer service already there?
In fact, why would a man even want to get in the student housing business at all? The Illinois Community College System was designed around the idea that students could commute from home.
To pay for the project, our village issued $410,000 in bonds. The members of the board told the citizens that the project would pay for itself. They claimed that at least 12 to 15 houses and 40 campsites at the Sherwood Campground would more than pay for the annual debt service. Three years later (before going out of business), the campground had not hooked up a single campsite, and only five houses are hooked to the line.
What a boondoggle! The mayor and the board never gave the residents the opportunity to vote on the sewer line. I wonder why! The cost to the village was about $82,000 for each of the hookups. What a deal! One has to wonder what our board was thinking, and one has to wonder who benefits monetarily from the project. Was it the bond company who sold the bonds or the bank who now holds the funds or someone else?
In the cases of both communities, Mt. Vernon and Ina, somebody got the gold mine and the taxpayers got the shaft.

Beshear is recommending issuing over $3 million to help support renovation projects on five older buildings on the Henderson campus.
President of the school, Dr. Kris Williams, says the campus is aging. She says there are several infrastructure problems and some buildings have poor elevator access.
Williams believes the governor is aware of KCTCS' needs. She says it's great that he's taking an initiative to support higher education.
"We really appreciate the governor's support. It's a good strong project. The projects are strong across the system and it's a real way to invest in education for KCTCS," Williams says.
The governor is also asking for $9 million for the Advanced Technology Center at the Owensboro campus and $15 million for the post-secondary education center at Madisonville Community College.
All campuses will find out if they get the money within the next few months.

Z-Tube for Infiniti G35 and FX35
The factory intake tract on the Infiniti G35 and FX35 was not designed for maximum performance. The 350Z, which shares its engine with these vehicles, is equipped with a much more efficient intake tube that is interchangeable with the G35 and FX35. OEM parts as we all know can be very expensive, however. The STILLEN Z-Tube offers all the performance of the 350Z tube without the high OEM price tag.

The Panthers announced Thursday that special-teams coach Danny Crossman will not be retained for the 2010 season.
Crossman had served as head coach John Fox's special-teams coach since 2005 and reportedly had one year remaining on his contract, but Carolina's special-teams units did not perform well in '09. The Panthers ranked 31st in kickoff-return average and 26th in net punting average. Carolina finished 29th in opponent punt-return average and ranked 30th in opponent kickoff-return average.
Earlier this week Panthers QB coach Rip Scherer turned down an opportunity to become the offensive coordinator at the University of Virginia to remain on Fox's staff.

it comes to advancing character-driven intercollegiate athletics,
Bluefield College
champions the cause, according to the National Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), who recently named BC a Champions of
Character Five Star Institution.
NAIA -- which boasts a proud reputation as an organization that
simultaneously promotes
competitive athletics, academic excellence, and character values --
launched its Champions of Character program in 2000 in an effort to
instill character values in sport and provide practical tools for
student athletes, coaches and parents to use in modeling
exemplary character traits.
program emphasizes five core values -- integrity, respect,
responsibility, sportsmanship,
and servant leadership -- and student-athletes at respective member
institutions are expected to exhibit these character values in
competition and to model service and character on campus and in the
year, the NAIA monitors and evaluates member schools' efforts toward
advancing character-driven
athletics through a Champions of Character Scorecard. Schools are
measured and earn points by demonstrating character in training, conduct
in competition, academic focus, character recognition, and character
promotion. Schools that score highest on the scorecard
are deemed "Five Star Institutions," and based on the 2012 findings,
Bluefield College is among the Five Star Champions of Character schools.
am proud of our student-athletes and the effort they have made this
past year to be
engaged with and in the surrounding community through their service,"
said BC President David Olive. "While being recognized as a Champions of
Character Five Star Institution is nice, our primary focus is on our
student-athletes and helping teach them a spirit
of service that they can carry with them for life."
2012, BC student-athletes were involved
in a variety of character building activities that demonstrated servant
leadership, responsibility, integrity and respect, including, among
others, promotional campaigns to endorse justice, fundraising projects
to battle cancer, charity events to provide new
shoes for the needy, and aid adventures to provide clean water to those
Athletic Department is very intentional about character development and
serving the
campus and community both on and off the playing field," said BC
Athletics Director Peter Dryer. "Our student-athletes have done some
great things this past year, and I am very proud of their efforts to
earn a Five Star Champions of Character distinction for
Bluefield College."
College and the other Five Star Institutions will be recognized during
the NAIA's
72nd Annual National Convention in April of this year. In addition,
they will be listed on the NAIA Champions of Character web site and will
receive a special web banner and certificate noting the honor.
Champions of Character program continues
to grow and impact people throughout our nation," said Kristin
Gillette, director of the Character program, "as a result of the passion
and commitment of NAIA member institutions."

Hundreds of people celebrated the unofficial start of summer at Grant Park on Monday. The big question facing families at Grant Park was: grill or swim? Some people chose both."Take the kids out to the pool, and after we get finished, we're going to find a little area out there, make a couple sandwiches and call it day," said Kareem Daniel. For Nathaniel Young and his wife, Memorial Day at Grant Park is a family tradition. They run a residential home for neglected children and their cookout is like a reunion."We have some that have aged out, but they still come back for mom and dad. They still call us that," Young said. It was also the opening weekend for the Grant Park Pool. The Mitchell family was one of many who spent a long winter, waiting for this day."We start talking about it, probably about a month too soon. And as soon as it opened, we were actually the first one to put our toe in the water,' said Nancy Mitchell. The weather cooperated, with sunny skies and pleasant temperatures pleasing the crowds.

Agent Arn Tellem sent his clients a sternly worded letter calling for the removal of NBA Players' Association president Billy Hunter, according to Howard Beck of the New York Times.
Tellem wrote that the players should act to remove Hunter, who has been in charge of the players' union since 1996, a span that has included both lockouts, during which Tellem says Hunter was "tactically, strategically and logistically unprepared:"
"N.B.A. players deserve better representation from the union they fund," Tellem writes in the letter. "I implore you and your fellow players to take control of your union and your future. It's time for Mr. Hunter to go."
Hunter has come under fire after an audit revealed his tenure has featured questionable hiring practices and spending policies, often for his own personal gain. But before Tellem's letter, no agent had come out and explicitly called for Hunter's dismissal.
As Beck writes, Tellem's word has some sway: his agency, the Wasserman Media Group, represents 12 percent of the league's players, the highest of any one group, while three of his personal clients serve as player representatives with the union.
The union holds an annual meeting every All-Star weekend, giving them their first opportunity to oust Hunter since the release of the audit. The audit also suggested that the players fire Hunter.

Is Distance Learning For Me?
Distance learning can be a wonderful alternative for students. Distance courses offer increased flexibility allowing you to balance family, work and school like never before! However, before making the decision to enroll in a distance course, there are a few things to keep in mind.
Online and face-to-face courses are equally rigorous. The material in an online course is the same as what is covered in a face-to-face course, and courses are taught by WKU faculty. Transcripts do not note a difference in the delivery mode of the course at WKU.
Online courses are delivered via Blackboard, unless otherwise noted. Students chat with other students online, interact with the professor, and upload assignments within the Blackboard system. To learn more about Blackboard complete the tutorials located in the Enrollment section of this orientation. Please note: The Music Department uses a different delivery software for certain courses. Please read your syllabus carefully! If you're still uncertain, contact the department for more information.
It is important to realize that success in an online course requires self-discipline, motivation, organization and you must possess reasonably strong written communication skills. If you have the right qualities to be a successful online student, you will find online learning both convenient and rewarding.
We have an assessment to help you determine if you're a good candidate for online learning. The Student Readiness Quiz will provide you with feedback and help you make an informed decision.
Here are a few things to consider before you decide to enroll in an online or independent learning course:
- Do you have self-discipline and motivation?
- Online courses are asynchronous, which means that students participate and complete their assignments at different times throughout the day and week. Asynchronous learning brings increased freedom and flexibility, making it possible for you to complete your course work at a time that's most convenient for you. However with this increased flexibility comes increased responsibility. Without the structure/accountability of regular class meetings, it is easy to procrastinate, and fall behind in the course. Remember, it is up to you to keep up with assignments.
- Are you able to commit time each day or week to your online course(s)?
- Online courses often require at least as much, if not more time than traditional courses. Completing course assignments and other learning activities can take several hours per week. We recommend checking your blackboard course a minimum of 3 times each week, and you may find that you need to to so almost every day. Make sure you can make this commitment prior to enrolling in the course(s).
- Do you have strong written communication skills?
- In online courses nearly all communication is written, so it is critical that you have strong written communication skills. If you feel that you are weak in this area, try to brush up on your writing skills. You can also contact the Writing Center at WKU, and have them review your work by email. The Learning Center at WKU also provides online tutoring in several subject areas.
- Do you feel comfortable asking questions?
- If you find that you are having difficulty understanding assignments or accessing course materials, you should contact your instructor as soon as possible. Communication is especially important in an online environment, since you do not have the same type of interaction online as you do in a traditional classroom setting. If you do not ask questions, the instructor will never know there is a problem.
- Are you reasonably comfortable using computers and the Internet?
- A personal computer is required for online courses. You do not need to be an expert, nor do you need a high-tech computer, but you do need to have some basic technology skills, such as word processing and using a Web browser. You also need regular access to a computer with an Internet connection. For more information on hardware and software requirements click here.
