Jargon Dictionaries:

At University of Washington Libraries Digital Collections:
Introduction and General Notes:
These materials and several similar works may be found in most U.S. university libraries or in larger or older city libraries in the Pacific Northwest. A couple historic Jargon references are available in reprint (such as Shaw's facsimile edition from Coyote Books; Thomas and Shaw intermittently appear in reprint from Binfords and Mort in Portland and the Shorey Book Store in Seattle, respectively). But for the most part, Jargon materials must be obtained by means of photocopying reference desk copies in libraries or by scouting for used editions. Therefore the most commonly cited materials are collected here for ease of retrieval and reference, and for the benefit of the student or distant researcher.
Format: The materials offered in this section are presented in two formats: HTML conversion and scanned page images. On this site, Gibbs, Shaw and Phillips have been converted to HTML, and Chinook Rudiments is necessarily presented as scanned page images. Documents on other sites linked from this page are also in scanned image form.
Copyright: All the materials presented on this site or via the Canadiana links are in the public domain today, the copyrights having long since expired. Feel free to print them out for personal or classroom use, but do not copy these files (i.e., the HTML or scans) to your own Web site, nor link directly to image files..
Printing: These dictionaries and articles may be printed by means of clicking on the text body (the right frame) and then selecting "print" from your Web browser's "File" pull-down menu.
Best regards,
Notes regarding individual documents:
Gibbs: This slim volume was perhaps the first Jargon dictionary published, about halfway through the pioneer era, and is considered one of the best references on the Jargon, as it was carefully and thoughtfully compiled and accurately reproduced. At the time of this book's publication, Mr. Gibbs had resided in the Oregon country for a dozen years and also acted as interpreter to the Washington Territory's governor Isaac Stevens.
I have seen references to a Cramoisy Press (New York) edition, also of 1863. I am told this work was published simultaneously by them. However, do not confuse this dictionary with Gibbs' limited lexicon of the Chinook language proper ("old Chinook"), entitled, "Alphabetical Dictionary of the Chinook Language," published by Craimoisy in 1863.
Good: This book was arranged so that the Chinook (Jargon) lexicon appeared on each left page, and the Nitlakapamuk ("or Thompson tongue") appeared beside it on the right page.
T.N. Hibben & Co.: Page images scanned by Marv Plunkett and presented at his 1st-hand-history Foundation Web site. While this is a late and derivative Jargon dictionary, it remains of historical interest as it was a very popular book; it is probably the Jargon dictonary most often seen north of the border or the only one known to many Canadians (as Edward Harper Thomas' oft-reprinted work is here.) No author is attributed; probably compiled by the publisher. Many slightly differing editions of this work were printed by Hibben over the years; one of which may be seen at Canadiana.
"Hudson Bay Employee": A very short but apparently original work. The name of its author is doubtless lost, but any clues or information regarding this work would be appreciated.
Melville Jacobs' translated and phonetically transcribed stories told by several native Jargon speakers in the early 1930s are of both cultural and linguistic interest.
Le Jeune's Chinook Rudiments (1924): Fr. Jean Marie Le Jeune was a missionary, and very prolific writer in and about the Jargon. His remarkable "Kamloops Wawa" newspaper appeared irregularly but quite frequently for decades.
Bishop Durieu and Fr. Le Jeune developed a method of writing the Jargon in Duployan script, a French phonetic shorthand (sténographie Duployé). It was reported Indians who knew the Jargon were taught to read this method in just three months. The Kamloops Wawa was printed mostly in this script.
(Duployan is similar to Gregg; its relationship to other shorthands is described in the French Wikipedia.)
Fr. Le Jeune produced several dictionaries, the first presented here being his latest and most comprehensive work, from near the end of the Kamloops Wawa era in 1924.
Le Jeune's Practical Chinook Vocabulary (1886): An earlier work by Fr. Le Jeune. This is a booklet set in type (Roman characters), though also appearing at this time were several readers and writing tutorials composed almost entirely in the "Kamloops Wawa" script. 16 pages (images) at Early Canadiana Online.
Chinook and shorthand rudiments: with which the Chinook jargon and the Wawa shorthand can be mastered without a teacher in a few hours (1898): This is a tutorial in the Duployan-based Kamloops Wawa script. 15 pages (images), also at Early Canadiana Online.
Phillips (El Comancho):This colorful and eccentric dictionary appears original in composition and may therefore make a useful reference to compare to with other Jargon dictionaries, so many of which are of an apparent Gibbs-Shaw-Gill lineage.
The alphabetical organization of entries in the main lexicion (by initial letter only) was confusing, so for this presentation I have correctly alphabetized the entries according to the author's spelling. (Otherwise the edition appears verbatim, except for correction of obvious typesetting errors.) An appendix lists the original word order for those interested.
Shaw: While Gibbs' dictionary is presented verbatim, including the very few typographical errors in the original, putting Shaw's on-line presented a very different situation, as the typography of the original is quite erratic. To enhance readability, I have liberally adjusted the punctuation to conform the document to a consistent style throughout. Several minor and obvious typographical errors have also been corrected.
The original does not contain a table of contents; one has been added to this on-line version solely for ease of navigation. Also, the original work divides the vocabulary into two sections, the main Lexicon and a Supplemental Vocabulary of "Less Familiar Words--Not Strictly Jargon--or of Only Local Use." These two vocabularies are also presented merged in an additional "Combined Vocabulary" here for ease of reference.
Image scans of the original may be viewed at 1st-hand-history.org.
NEW Coombs was found without its cover tucked inside another Jargon dictionary acquired at an estate sale near Olympia by Kathleen Houts, who hoped it could be identified, and graciously loaned it for scanning. It was added to this site in 2004 as a "Mystery Dictionary" with a request for information. In 2007, Mike Curry of Aberdeen wrote that he had spotted it on a short exhibit page of the Newberry Library, Chicago. One inside page (p. 10) was displayed there, which matches the corresponding page in the copy I was loaned, so it is a fairly safe assumption they are the same.
As the cover was missing, I don't know if the author was identified in the book; it appears he was not, as the Newberry's catalog card includes the note: "Attribution of authorship and date of publication from: Pacific Northwest Americana / C.W. Smith. 3rd ed., no. 2016." I would presume the full title was shown on the inside cover or front page missing from the copy available to examine.
This dictionary might have been developed for or with a view toward government use; note the testimonial oath and legal thrust of the "Interrogatories" at 33 and 34. Its author was apparently familiar with other Jargon dictionaries, but the orthography used is unique, and the selection of words has some quirks, perhaps reflecting local usage of the day. A list of place names in Native languages is credited to Eells (pp. 35-38).
Knowing the author and year of publication, this dictionary could then be located in Pilling's Bibliography at 33. (The Newberry catalog card indicates their copy had in fact been owned by Pilling.)

Lauren Cappuccio@LCappuccioPOCHAMBERSBURG PA
The Phoenix House is rising from the ashes, one step at a time, just as Chambersburg honors its 150th anniversary of the burning and rebuilding of the town during the Civil War.
Marcus Rauhut @MarcusRauhutPO CHAMBERSBURG PA
Franklin County commissioners committed $10,000 from the Housing Trust Fund to Habitat for Humanity's "Phoenix House" project.
Habitat volunteers are rebuilding a home on East King Street, Chambersburg, that was destroyed by a fire earlier this year.
"This house is unusual. There are some circumstances which add to the expense," said Mark Story, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Franklin County. "One of the challenges is the lot size is not typical for a Habitat house. But we're able to do two things at once — take a property no one wants to own and rehab it, and house a family with whom we can partner."
After a large fire destroyed an East King Street home in February, Habitat for Humanity of Franklin County is planning on building a new home from the ground up.
The organization was given the final approval last week for the purchase of the property at 310 E. King St., and they plan on turning it into "The Phoenix House" to house a family of seven.
Franklin County celebrated its 32nd Habitat For Humanity house on Dec 01, 2013.
Located at 408 E Washington St in Chambersburg, volunteers worked 2,000 hours from June to November, according to a news release from Habitat for Humanity of Franklin County. The house was finished just in time for Epifania Flores and her two children to enjoy their Thanksgiving meal inside the new home.

Ward Beecher Planetarium at Youngstown State University is planning a special premiere for ''Cosmic Castaways,'' a full-dome original production it created.
The premiere on Oct. 4 will start with a reception on the fifth floor of YSU's Maag Library starting at 7 p.m. followed by the screening of the movie in the planetarium at 8:30 p.m.
The 20-minute movie is about intracluster stars - the stars that are removed from galaxies because of galaxy collisions - and is based partially on research by Feldmeier and Pat Durrell, YSU associate professor of astronomy and planetarium director. The movie was produced at YSU and was funded as part of Feldmeier's research grant from the National Science Foundation.
Pamela Gay, an assistant research professor of graduate studies and research at Southern Illinois University and executive director of the Astrophere New Media Association, narrates the movie. Her research focuses on how to most effectively engage the public in learning and doing astronomy online.
Tickets for the premiere are $75, and proceeds will benefit the Ward Beecher Planetarium and Cosmoquest. Reservations can be made at tinyurl.com/ ccpremiere.
According to Feldmeier, "The idea behind the fundraiser is pretty simple: we think 'Cosmic Castaways' is a great production, and we would like to do more shows in the future and release them to the public."
''Cosmic Castaways'' will make its public debut at 8 p.m. Oct. 5 at the planetarium. For more information, call 330-941-3616.

Mafia 2, sports (der). But more than that, it's another chance to showcase the rich visuals (that night time stuff in the snow really does look that good) and the great dialogue and voice-acting you're in for if you pick this up.
If you need any more info on the game though, we threw up our in-depth review yesterday, which delves into what's on offer in the fictional world of Empire Bay, and just what sort of gameplay you can look forward to in the game.

Royal Bank Of Canada has a market cap of $93.1 billion and is part of the financial sector and banking industry. Shares are up 7.2% year to date as of the close of trading on Friday.STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12-months. Learn more.TheStreetRatings.com Analysis:TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Royal Bank Of Canada as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its increase in stock price during the past year, notable return on equity and expanding profit margins. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the company's revenue growth has not been good.Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The stock has risen over the past year as investors have generally rewarded the company for its earnings growth and other positive factors like the ones we have cited in this report. Despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year, there is currently no conclusive evidence that warrants the purchase or sale of this stock.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Commercial Banks industry and the overall market, ROYAL BANK OF CANADA's return on equity exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- ROYAL BANK OF CANADA's earnings per share improvement from the most recent quarter was slightly positive. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. During the past fiscal year, ROYAL BANK OF CANADA increased its bottom line by earning $4.96 versus $4.45 in the prior year.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the Commercial Banks industry average, but is less than that of the S&P 500. The net income increased by 2.8% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $2,216.00 million to $2,279.00 million.
- RY, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 3.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 6.7%. The declining revenue has not hurt the company's bottom line, with increasing earnings per share.

I don't write diaries much, so apologize if we all know this, or aren't interested. I've read numerous prospect/major league reviews referring to RFK lately, and it seems some of us don't know about the new stadium, and that the pitcher's heaven and abysmal fan experience known as RFK (I'm fairly local) won't be used any more. In any case, here is the link to the new stadium:

West Salem, WISCONSIN (WXOW) Racing fans can get their holiday fix at the La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway Wednesday night.
The Tundra Super Late Models series makes a pit stop in West Salem.
The event features many of the top late models drivers in the Midwest, many of whom have raced in the Okotberfest races.
There will be a handful of local drivers as well.
Close to 40 cars will try to qualify for the main event, which is a 40-lap feature.
The racing you'll see is slightly different than the typical late models seen on Saturday nights.
"Super Late Models are a little bit lighter and have a little more horsepower and they have a little more stickier tires than the cars that normally race here on Saturday nights. They can zip in and out amongst themselves a little bit better than our normal cars," said La Crosse Speedway manager Chuck Deery.
"We race Wisconsin short tracks and take in the local stars that we have in Super Late Model racing. We put them together and came up with this series the last couple of years and it's been pretty cool," said Tundra Series driver Frank Kreyer.
The racing begins at 7:30 Wednesday night.
The Sportsmen and Thunderstox divisions will also race.

I watched Blackfish last night and was inspired to make a design for a possible new t shirt for my etsy shop. What do you guys think? Would any of you buy a shirt with this design? Please let me know :)
not quite related to Blackfish, but today in Jaipur I had a moral dilemma - to ride or not ride an elephant. In the end, I didn't ride, and I feel better about it. The jeep ride up the back was pretty damn cool anyway

It has been reported that the Portland Trailblazers, in an unprecedented move, initiated a league wide conference call with every NBA team last night asking permission to speak with any current GM or AGM who may be even remotely interested in their GM vacancy.
Team President Larry Miller was quoted as saying "While we have a strong list of candidates that are very interested in this position, in our minds, none of them have actually contacted us confirming said interest."
Miller went on to say "It is important this candidate have a clear vision of the direction they want to take this team, the ability to effectively communicate with ownership, and an ounce - I mean an ounce - of basketball managerial knowledge. That is something we, as an organization, are in dire need of. We need to get us some of that."

A question for the group: Could Rubio sign a contract with the Wolves with a clause that terminates his contract for a year if there is a labor-management stoppage? Then he can sign away and not worry about a lockout, which would be the biggest rational reason not to come.
Kahn is the master lawyer, after all. I'm still impressed that he drafted the other guy on Rubio's team (Henk Norel?) so he could also buy him out and get that team more money.

ONE in four Tamworth women experience domestic violence.
It might sound like a frightening statistic but it is fact according to those on the frontline.
That's one in four women in the office, one in four women on the sideline of a children's soccer match or one in four women at the local coffee shop.
Domestic violence has largely been in the news for all the wrong reasons in recent weeks after a string of violent murders and high-profile cases.
Sydney man Simon Gittany will spend up to 26 years behind bars for terrorising his girlfriend before throwing her off their high-rise balcony.
Another case which has rocked the country is the brutal killing of a young boy by his father at a cricket field atTyabb near Melbourne.
His mother spoke out to help other women, and let them know that family violence is unacceptable.
But experts say the only way to overcome the violence is by way of a two-pronged attack – education and awareness.
Sixty-six per cent of all women who have accessed the Tamworth Women's Refuge are domestic violence victims.
Tamworth Family Support team leader Charmane Holm said the rates of violence were on the rise locally.
"Since about 12 months ago there has been a huge increase in domestic violence," Ms Holm told The Leader.
"From our experience here at the refuge the violence is getting more severe."
Ms Holm said in just the past seven months the refuge has seen 33 children come through the doors with their mothers.
The service primarily supports women and children who they said are the main victims, but that is likely to change down the track.
Domestic violence isn't just necessarily physical attacks – it can be sexual, financial,
verbal or even psychological abuse.
"We're noticing many more physical assaults coming through than the verbal assaults," support caseworker Nicole Stubbs said.
"We're seeing more traumatisation, more anxiety, more depression, more mental health ... that could be the victim themselves, or the environment they were in."
And family violence is a major element in the mix.
Children are often the silent victims of domestic violence but while there is a dedicated caseworker in Tamworth there is a lack of widespread kids- only services available.
The local increase has been blamed on high unemployment, a lack of affordable housing and increasing drug and alcohol issues.
But the frontline workers want local women to know that they are not alone.
"No matter what they have been told by their partner, abuse is not their fault," Ms Stubbs said.
Local refuge is here to help
THE Women's Refuge is the only one of its kind covering Tamworth and surrounding areas and it only has accommodation available for five families.
"We never turn a woman and children away of course, we work closely with them to find alternatives," Ms Holm said.
And there are options available through outreach programs, through the Department of Housing, Homes North and others.
The support service operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week – like domestic violence, it doesn't stop.
On caseworkers' wish lists would be more funding to tackle the rise of domestic violence, which gets worse each year.
One thing they are adamant about is that it doesn't discriminate in age,
race, culture or society.
"People believe what happens behind closed doors stays there," Ms Stubbs said.
"There is the fear of the repercussions of reporting and the fear of not being believed."
And the statistics are not a true indication of the widespread problem – experts say it's very much under-reported.
"Intimidation and the fear, to be able to physically come forward and report these instances, sometimes is not an option," Ms Holm said.
If you need help or you know someone who does you can access the Domestic Violence Hotline on 1800 656 463 or the Tamworth Family Support Service (24 hours) on 1800 07 33 88.

Something you need to know about diono Australia products
Only parents know how important the diono Australia products for the little one's safety are. There are a number of car seat sizes available in the market and getting you the perfect one can bring great joys to your home. The car seat is the first thing which can help you adjust your baby seat in the pram stroller. When you are buying car seats you need to put in some research. There are safety car seats but you must be confused which one to choose and why. The first thing you should look for a car seat is the comfort.
The diono Australia products have come a long way in the car seat industry. You should never use old car sears because the seats may have undergone accidents or might be missing on some parts. The old plastic can be weak and unable to withstand the tensile strength of the car. Car seats are dependent on upholstery and back cushions. The material is important as it decides the safety of the owner. The traditional expensive car seats can give you comfort and you need to make sure that stitching is made perfectly. Hard-wearing fibers and durable materials are the requisite for good car seats.
When it comes to diono Australia products, you must realize that there are structurally safe seats which have a belt for back support. The top quality products are usually sent to rigorous tests before they are sold out in the international market. You need to make sure that the seat you buy must fit into your body structure. The body portions like hips, back and neck must be supported for greater comfort and safety. If you want to go for long drives, you can always opt for ergonomic cars for best support and a comfort drive.

When Brendan Rodgers arrived at Liverpool two summers ago, the new Liverpool manager inherited one of the Premier League's top defensive duos. A series of poor signings and a season-ending injury to Lucas Leiva saw the club's midfield and attack flounder as Kenny Dalglish's first full season back at the helm went from promise to pessimism and an unfortunate end to the Liverpool legend's second spell. Yet for all that Charlie Adam, Stewart Downing, and Andy Carroll never looked as though they would install themselves as Anfield legends, Steve Clarke's defence had proven itself amongst the league's best.
Daniel Agger appeared a lock as the left-sided centre half, finally starting to show signs he might be able to shed the injury-prone label that had haunted since he arrived from Brondby. Having set a new appearance mark with 24 league starts still spoke to a player whose injuries were a concern, but after starting an average of 15 matches a season over his first five years, it was a hopeful enough sign for many who had written the talented defender off due to his injury record to start worrying less about whether he might be able to stay fit and more about whether the club could keep hold of him if they continued to struggle.
The bigger surprise, though, was alongside Agger, where Martin Skrtel had usurped the ageing Jamie Carragher on the way to becoming the club's player of the season. It was the second strong season in a row for Skrtel, who had been one of the few bright spots during the disastrous reign of Roy Hodgson and then under Dalglish and Clarke managed to insert himself in the conversation of the league's best centre halves. Gone was the inconsistency and mental lapses. In their place was a confident, consistent defender who seemed set to anchor the defence no matter who was in charge. Then, everything went wrong for him.
Of all the players who struggled to adjust to life under Brendan Rodgers, none seemed more ill-suited to the uptempo passing and high pressing game than Skrtel, and by the time the first season under Liverpool's new boss was over he had gone from player of the season to spare part. Most expected him to be sold, and it is perhaps only Kolo Toure's injury late in August that kept him from reuniting with Rafa Benitez at Napoli. The arrival of Mamadou Sakho only added to the belief a departure was inevitable—if not then, then in January if the rest of Liverpool's defenders could remain mostly fit through the autumn.
Rodgers, though, continued to insist there was still a place for Skrtel at Liverpool. That a role was still his to be won. Few saw those words as more than platitudes, the sort of thing a manager says because to say otherwise serves little purpose but to drive a player's value down. Yet in the end, it has begun to seem Rodgers' words might have had some real weight to them. It would hardly be surprising, given Liverpool's depth at centre half and that Skrtel spent much of last season out of favour, to still see Skrtel sold in January. But having excelled when given a chance in Rodgers' new-look 3-5-2, it at least doesn't seem quite so inevitable now.
"I've always tried to show my fairness with players," said the manager following another strong showing by Skrtel against West Brom over the weekend that saw the in-form defender selected over vice-captain Daniel Agger. "People say 'do you not like him?' but I always say that, no, it is about performance levels. If you're playing well, you will play. If not, you might be in and out of the team. I've got an international captain, this club's vice-captain, sitting on the bench, but that's because I like to think I'm fair. If people are playing well, they play. That sums up how well Martin is playing. He's been outstanding."
Outstanding or not, one still can't help but wonder if Skrtel will still fit into the manager's plans if the return of Philippe Coutinho and Liverpool's stable of increasingly healthy fullbacks leads to a shift back to something closer to the 4-3-3 Rodgers arrived at Anfield with and that seemed so incompatible with Skrtel's game last year. The coming weeks, then, will tell an awful lot about just how flexible Rodgers is—and just how willing he is to alter his approach when the form of the players he has on hand would seem to demand it rather than when that change is forced through injury.
"I think the three at the back allows him to play to his strengths," Rodgers added. "It allows him to defend, and it simplifies his game when we have the ball. I think in the run of games he has had, he has gained in confidence. I've recognised and acknowledged with him that he is playing at a really good level."
If Liverpool are still playing three at the back this time next month, it might be time to put those persistent rumours linking Skrtel with a January Napoli move to bed. If they aren't, then at least the defender will have put himself in a position to leave Anfield on a high note, looking something an awful lot closer to the player of the season he was before Brendan Rodgers arrived than the liability he became afterwards.

Also, how many different combination of layers are there?The only code I hate more than my own is everyone else's.

I would start by making a div containing each layer, with front layers being transparent pngs. Then, you'd need some kind of form to specify the tint for each layer - and finally some file system stuff to store the variations. You might end up with a lot of flat files if you do this though, but if you allow direct colour manipulation of the original, the image may lose quality over time and no longer be serviceable as a template.

About Biomass
About Biomass
Biomass is a general term for material derived from growing plants or from animal manure. Bioenergy refers to the technical systems through which biomass is produced or collected, converted and used as an energy source. A wide variety of conversion routes can be distinguished that produce a variety of energy carriers either in a solid, liquid or gaseous form. These energy carriers address all types of energy markets: heat, electricity and transportation.
Bioenergy already provides the majority of renewable energy worldwide and is considered to have the potential to provide a large fraction of world energy demand over the next century. At the same time, if biomass systems are managed properly, bioenergy will contribute to meet the requirement of reducing carbon emissions.
In the EU-27, bioenergy contributes only to 3.7% of the total primary energy supply; however, it plays a considerable role in several European countries such as Finland and Sweden for instance, where its contribution amounts respectively 20% and 16% of the gross inland consumption.
Estimated demand for biomass for energy in the EU27 countries based on national renewable energy projections[76] and reported conversion efficiencies [5,77]. (Bentsen and Felby, Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2012 5:25, doi:10.1186/1754-6834-5-25)
Biochemicals (other than pharmaceuticals) will increase from 1.8% of all chemical production in 2005 to between 12% and 20% by 2015.
Biodiesel consumption (EU): 13,000 Million Liters. Bioethanol Consumption (EU): 6,200 Million Liters (Biofules Annual 2012)
Bidiesel production (EU) : 10,200 Million Liters. Ethanol Consumption (EU) : 2,600 Million Liters (Biofuels Annual 2012)

One of my friends lives in Louisville, KY. This past weekend he was taking an airplane tour of the city on one of those really small planes. While on the runway, he noticed a jet that was parked nearby--with the Golden Gopher logo on the tail.
He asked the pilot of his plane if he knew anything about it and he replied that the U of M football coach was in town. This made me curious as to who he might be down there visiting. Looking on ESPN, it looks like it could be Roy Philon. (This is pure speculation and conjecture on my part). Anyways, the description of Philon is pretty good, but my personal favorite line in the scouting report was, "He can be a vicious tackler who has a WWE flair to him."

I spent one week last summer at the School Press Institute (SPI) of the Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. This program was centered around journalism/yearbook activities with four different sessions. Students chose from Yearbook, Photography, Newspaper/ Magazine, or Electronic Publishing classes.
I was very involved on my school newspaper as a section editor, but before I went to SPI, I really didn't know the specifics of running a high school newspaper. Since I was to become Editor-in-Chief, I was actually quite nervous that I would have no idea what I was doing.
I was horrified to find that my entire Electronic Publishing class was all male. However, I think it turned out to be better in the long run. Not to put down my gender, but a lot of girls go to a program like this and just worry about their appearance instead of having fun and learning something.
The first thing the five of us did was to get to know each other. We had a variety of experience. Our school papers ranged from being printed on a rizzo machine and laid out on a Macintosh SE to being professionally printed and laid out on Macintosh Quadra AV's.
Throughout the week we were told we were going to produce a newspaper with our newly-learned skills in QuarkXpress. Despite bickering over our personal preferences for this font or that font, and the differences between pull-quotes, it went surprisingly well. I think I learned a tremendous amount about newspaper layout and production working with students and finding out how they work on their newspapers, besides what the teacher taught us.
I can truly say I am glad I spent a week here at Syracuse University. I will always remember it because it gave me a little taste of college life and living in dorms. The responsibility you are given and opportunity to learn is once in a lifetime. L

Who would take money from Girl Scouts?
It happened Saturday outside a Walmart in Fort Bend County, TX.
That is where the Girl Scouts were selling cookies when they were robbed. But these young Scouts didn't give up the money without a fight.
Iravia Cotton is still shaken up after she and her fellow Girl Scouts did everything they could to fight back against a man who stole their money.
"Out of nowhere he just took the whole box of money that we had, jumped in the car. Me and my friend Rachel went after the money," said Girl Scout Iravia Cotton.
It happened just before 2 p.m. Saturday as they were selling Girl Scout cookies in front of the Walmart in Fort Bend County.
That is when a car pulled up, the passenger got out pretending he wanted to buy some cookies. Instead he grabbed the cashbox and jumped back into the car.
Iravia and Rachel Johnson did not let them get away without a fight.
"I started hitting the boy that was in the passenger seat. So I think he ... learned his lesson a little bit. And then they dragged my friend Rachel across the street ... driving off real fast," said Cotton.
"I hope your face hurts from when Iravia punched you. Jerk. I'm serious ... one of our girls ran up ... so I hope your face hurts. I hope it leaves a scar,"said Girl Scout Rachel Johnson.
The suspects got away in a black Camry. The front license plate was covered.
So the young women who joined Girl Scouts to learn positive life lessons, this experience has left them confused and angry.
The crooks got away with about $200. To make matters worse, the Girl Scouts will be responsible for paying back that money.
"The girls worked very hard selling those Girl Scout cookies," said troop leader Jeanne Maria Johnson.

The card and party game for ages nine and up.
The 576 cards provide hours and hours of fun!
How to Get Started
Just open the box, deal the Red Apple cards to each player, and you're ready to go! Players take turns being the judge. The judge begins each round by playing a Green Apple card that features a one-word characteristic, such as Crunchy, Smelly, or Excellent. The other players must then look at the Red Apple cards in their hands and select the one they think is best described by the judge's card. Will you play Pickles, Monkeys, or Flip-flops?
Big Talk Equals Big Fun…and Big Wins!
When everyone's Red Apple cards are on the table, try to convince the judge that yours is the best match. You'll find that table talk is a huge part of the fun. Just wait until you hear all the clever — and not so clever — ways people try to convince the judge to choose a particular card. Do your best, because if the judge picks your card, you win that round. The first player to win four rounds wins the game!
What's In The Box?
576 Red and Green Apple cards plus instructions.
Players will delight in the crazy comparisons while expanding their vocabulary and thinking skills.
Fun for all ages. The adult version often has people and things that not everyone knows (or things you don't want to explain to your kids). This is just good clean fun. Read morePublished 5 days ago by P. Brown

"Joseph Amorello owns a company that does road construction and sometimes hired Fidrych to haul gravel or asphalt. He said he had stopped by the farm to chat with Fidrych when he found the body underneath the 10 Wheeler dump truck. "We were just, in general, getting started for the [road building] season this week and it seems as though his truck was going to be needed. It looked like he was doing some maintenance on it," Amorello said in a telephone interview. "I found him under the truck. There's not much more I can say. I dialed 911 and that's all I could do."

Egyptian president's sweeping powers cancelled
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi has cancelled a decree that gave him sweeping powers and sparked huge protests, but did not delay a referendum on a constitution as his opponents had demanded.
The announcement came from the spokesman for politicians and other figures who took part in a national dialogue on Saturday convened by the Islamist president. But the main opposition group stayed away, so the talks had little credibility among protesters.

Abstract—The technologies, architectures, and methodologies traditionally used to develop distributed applications exhibit a variety of limitations and drawbacks when applied to large scale distributed settings (e.g., the Internet). In particular, they fail in providing the desired degree of configurability, scalability, and customizability. To address these issues, researchers are investigating a variety of innovative approaches. The most promising and intriguing ones are those based on the ability of moving code across the nodes of a network, exploiting the notion of
This paper presents a conceptual framework for understanding code mobility. The framework is centered around a classification that introduces three dimensions: technologies, design paradigms, and applications. The contribution of the paper is two-fold. First, it provides a set of terms and concepts to understand and compare the approaches based on the notion of mobile code. Second, it introduces criteria and guidelines that support the developer in the identification of the classes of applications that can leverage off of mobile code, in the design of these applications, and, finally, in the selection of the most appropriate implementation technologies. The presentation of the classification is intertwined with a review of state-of-the-art in the field. Finally, the use of the classification is exemplified in a case study.

Now you'll get to meet the man behind it.
(KYTX/CNN) - A memorial service for the Navy SEAL sniper allegedly gunned down at a North Texas gun range takes place today. The service for Chris Kyle, author of the best-selling book "American Sniper," will be at Cowboys Stadium.
A 200-mile funeral process on Tuesday will take the body to Austin for burial. The four or five-hour motorcade will include members of the military, first responders and the Patriot Guard Riders, a motorcycle group. The motorcade could include thousands of people.
Eddie Ray Routh faces murder charges in the death of Kyle and another military veteran. A company founded by Kyle says Routh is a troubled veteran the other two were trying to help.

Better World Books: A story about literacy and the triple bottom-line
Better World Books has a one-for-one campaign called Book for Book. It has a campaign which funds non-profit organizations dedicated to improving literacy. It has instituted a sustainability program aimed at helping libraries re-use or recycle old books as well as metal shelving. Finally, as the cherry on top, they offer a carbon-neutral (through carbon offsets) shipping option for a few extra cents an order.
Better World Books has not settled on one aspect of social enterprise. Rather, it has decided to create impact in every form it can and create a company that is truly embracing the concept of the triple-bottom line.
Better World Books sells all sorts of readable material, in both paper and digital form. They offer a great selection of used books and their textbook section is especially robust.
Want to sell a book? No problem. They'll even pay for carbon-neutral shipping when you sell them something.
Honestly, it's a great online bookstore, but it's really Better World Book's dedication to its causes that makes it stand out.
This is a modern social enterprise. Better World Books embodies the concept of the triple bottom-line — social, environmental, and of course, economic.
"Book for Book" is Better World Book's one-for-one model. For every book purchased, these guys donate a book to someone in need. They've partnered with Books for Africa and Feed the Children to help facilitate the process and as of this article, they've donated just about 7 million books.
Now, if Better World Books just donated a book for every one it sold, it would be considered a good social enterprise. But no. They are looking for greatness — to innovate. In addition to its one-for-one program, Better World Books also works with multiple partners to help fund literacy programs with its profits. They've raised over $13 million for literacy through their sales and worked with partners like the National Center for Family Literacy, Worldfund and the New Orleans Public Library Foundation.1
In addition to all that great work, Better World Books also funds Literacy and Education in Action Program (LEAP) grants for specific project that directly fight to reduce global poverty through education. For example they awarded one such grant to help train teachers in rural Guatemala since the indigenous children in the area suffered from low literacy and high dropout rates. Not only did they train 65 teachers in 18 elementary schools, they helped 1,876 children by putting 3,708 books into circulation.2
How are we getting such specific numbers? Well, these guys also provide incredible impact assessment. They clearly are proud of their accomplishments and show their customers what a simple book purchase can accomplish.
The second leg of the triple bottom-line deals with environmental sustainability. Better World Book approaches this element in two ways: (1) by reducing landfill and (2) utilizing carbon offsets.
They have recycled over 93 million books and and reclaimed more than 900,000 pounds of metal shelving from libraries across the United States. In addition, they partner with 3Degrees to buy carbon credits and support the Tatanka Wind Farm.3
Now, if Better World Books just donated a book for every one it sold, it would be considered a good social enterprise. But no. They are looking for greatness — to innovate.
Finally, we come to what is one of the most important aspects of social enterprise — profit. Without the incentive of making money, many of these ventures would be dead in the water. Better World Books is a founding B Corporation, helping push for companies that are profitable and socially impactful. Not only do they practice what they preach, they preach what they practice.
If it seems like we are gushing about Better World Books, it's because the company is really a paragon of effective social enterprise and the triple bottom-line. They are part of a new generation of business that was born with a mission in mind, and Better World Books is certainly carrying out its mission of literacy with a business and social intelligence that hopefully, will become the new normal.
We'll leave you with a few snippets of how impactful one book purchase can be:
