WSVN -- This fourth grade class at Coconut Grove Elementary has a new hi-tech toy: an interactive white board.
Dr. Sharon M. Lopez, principal, Coconut Grove Elementary: "It's given us an edge on teaching and learning, which is something that we're always looking for."
But at $3,000, it's not something the school could afford... until they found out about a group called SpendforED.
Erik Sussman, SpendforED: "We created a concept called Ed Bucks, and this is like a currency. It's a unique currency."
It costs $10 to buy a book of $60 ed bucks. Half of that $10 is donated directly to your school. Shoppers use the ed bucks at participating businesses like Milam's Markets. Use Ed Bucks at checkout and get a dollar off every $10 dollars spent.
Erik Sussman: "A year later, we've got over 200 locations that are now accepting Ed Bucks just as if it was real United States currency."
With Ed Bucks, consumers save money on purchases, local businesses get more customers and schools get money for programs and equipment.
Mia Sorensen, parent: "The more parents find out about the SpendforED and the Ed Bucks, the more they purchase, and the more money we can make from it."
Right now, Milam's is selling Ed Bucks in all four of their stores, hoping to raise money for more interactive boards.
Allen Milam, owner, Milam's: "These communities are supporting us, so we want to support them."
In just one year, Ed Bucks has raised more than $100,000 for 70 Miami-Dade Schools.
They hope it's just the beginning.
Erik Sussman: "In five years, I see us creating an alternative source of funding for education ... I believe millions of dollars can be raised from it."

Many families and veterans gathered Monday at the Hinds County courthouse for the traditional Memorial Day program. This salute to veterans was sponsored by the Hinds County Board of Supervisors.
Sgt. James Wiley, a U.S. Army Vietnam War veteran gave an emotional tribute to those who lost their lives for the price of peace.
"We will always honor the sacrifices those brave soldiers made in defense of our country," said Wiley. "Our nation called and there was little or no hesitation in answering that call."
Monday's special tribute was dedicated to more than 500 soldiers from Hinds County who lost their lives during World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.

FOOTBALL: Didcot slide goes on with Paulton defeat
10:00am Monday 17th December 2012 in Sport
Didcot Tn 3
(Osborne-Ricketts 4, Tappin 38, Elkins 85)
Paulton Rovers 4
(Billing 2, Pearson 48, Jeffries 56, Vyner 75)
Didcot Town slid to their fourth successive loss in Evo-Stik Southern League Division 1 South & West with defeat by Paulton Rovers at the npower Loop Meadow Stadium.
The Railwaymen made a disastrous start when a mistake from keeper Marco Belloli-Pereira presented James Billing with a simple tap-in in the second minute.
But Elliott Osborne-Ricketts gave Didcot the perfect response with a shot from 20 yards which dipped over Paulton keeper Kyle Phillips.
And the home side deservedly took the lead before half-time with a wonderful strike from Ryan Tappin, who gave Phillips no chance. But Didcot fell apart after half-time.
Paulton defender Stuart Pearson capitalised on a poor punch from Belloli-Pereira to equalise from close range.
The visitors then took the lead with a strike by Josh Jefferies, which took a heavy deflection and flew past the stranded keeper.
And it really was a game to forget for Belloli-Pereira when he dropped the ball from a corner, and gifted Paulton substitute Joe Vyner a fourth goal.
Sam Elkins gave Didcot a lifeline with a superb strike five minutes from time, but the home side were unable to force a late equaliser.
Didcot Tn: Belloli-Pereira, Elkins, Casson, Osborne-Ricketts, Thomas, Stanley (Browne 80), Tappin, Webb, Clark, Haysham, Williams (Bowles 75). Subs not used: Harris, Pereira.
Attendance: 106.

There are times when you could be forgiven for thinking that "first-person shooter" is just another term for "Call of Duty" or "Battlefield". When it comes to pointing hunks of metal-spewing technology at people, these two franchises dominate the conversation. That's great, reckons Bodycount art director Max Cant, but gamers are ready for something new.
"I think if you take the fun colours and arcade sensibilities and apply them to a genre that has followed a formula for a long time, I think people will definitely take that up," Cant told us during a whirlwind discussion of the Codemasters-published shooter, which we reviewed today. "If you look at mobile gaming, DLC titles and stuff, people aren't actually opposed to running around in nice, colourful worlds having fun shooting folk.
"As regards Call of Duty and Battlefield," he went on, "They're all great franchises with a great heritage, but at the moment you've got a Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots type thing where you've got two guys in the ring. That's working just now, you don't need a bunch of other people to get into the ring and do the same thing.
Cant described Bodycount as "an artist-crafted game", adding "it's not a series of photographs lazily glued onto cubes. It's been made with a lot of love. It's a colourful game, it's fun and uplifting." Violence is part and parcel of that upbeat style: this is a game where if "you see somebody running up a flight of stairs, you can slide mines down into the guy's feet - he'll get blown into the air, face-plant a wall, bounce back off and end up hanging totally dead over a balcony rail like a wet tea-towel."

Albany - The South Georgia Wildcats will have a new kicker for Saturday's playoff game at Florida.
The Wildcats on Tuesday signed Scott Hode who kicked one game in last year's AF2 playoffs for the Arkansas Twisters.
The Wildcats hoping Bode will be more reliable that Byoungwoo Yoon who was hitting only 67% on extra points and made just one of seven field goal attempts.
Hode was a highly recruited kicker in high school but played baseball at the University of Arkansas and for one year in the Chicago Cubs organization.
After working out with the team for the last couple of weeks, Hode is hoping to help kick the Wildcats to a championship.
Scott Hode said "It is a blast to be here now. Signed and I get the chance hopefully i can kick this weekend. I can just hope i can get in there and help the team win."
South Georgia Wildcats play at florida in the first round of the AF2 playoffs Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. in Estero. Florida.

Boy, that's a tough one. I would vehemently oppose a television being put in the break room because most people already watch too much tv to begin with and I personally don't watch tv. However, if you must have one, I'd poll the people that would be using it to find out what they would want to see. If there is a consensus then you have your answer. If there's a tremendous amount of disagreement I'd go to my boss and ask for a resolution.

The Liberal Arts: Why Philosophers, Poets, Scientists, and Composers are Your Real BFFs
Celia Easton, Dean of Residential Living
The tradition of the "liberal arts" goes back to antiquity: it means "studies essential for free people." In the modern world, we say that the humanities, arts, and sciences comprise the liberal arts curriculum. There are many other ways to organize higher education: technical programs, conservatories, art institutes, agricultural schools, and professional training provide excellent directions for college students. At Geneseo, however, even our professional programs situate themselves within a broader liberal arts curriculum. In antiquity, liberales or "free" meant literally "not enslaved." Today we ask, "How does the study of history, literature, physics, and anthropology free your mind?" Over the course of a student's career, technical skills will need constant updating. The study of the liberal arts creates a foundation for learning skills rather than teaching particular skills. Why are Shakespeare and Plato your best friends forever? Because they will exercise your mind, inspire you to think, and teach you how to question even the most confident authorities you will encounter throughout your life.
Gary Towsley, Distinguished Teaching Professor of Mathematics
Dante Alighieri, the Florentine Poet, is known mainly as the author of La Commedia, (The Comedy, not the Divine Comedy, a name that was attached later). He was also a scholar, a diplomat, and a politician. As a scholar he was well educated in the science and mathematics available at the time. His works, and in particular, Il Paradiso, the third portion of the Comedy, is filled with this science and mathematics in a significant fashion. It is the mathematical content of Dante's work that I my talk will concern.
Cancer from a Biologist's Perspective
Robert O'Donnell, Distinguished Teaching Professor of Biology
The talk will address four areas related to cancer. The first will look at the causes of cancer from a historical perspective. Second, I will look at the incidence of cancer based on "Cancer Facts and Figures, 2014" provided by the American Cancer Society. The third topic that will be addressed is what goes wrong inside the cell that leads to cancer and lastly, the important role of research in cancer prevention, early diagnosis and treatment.
Fortune's Bones, Slavery, Justice, and Historical Memory
Dr. Cathy Adams, Associate Professor of History
Fortune was an African American man enslaved by Waterbury physician Dr. Porter in the late 18th century. Upon Fortune's death in 1798, Dr. Porter, a renowned bone surgeon, prepared his skeleton to serve the study of anatomy. In 1910, Fortune's skeleton was found and was donated to Mattatuck Museum where it was on display until 1970. Come and learn more about Fortune and the work of the African American History Project.

Property description
Manzara Evi (Turkish for 'house with a view') gives some 260 m2 of accommodation, looking over Kalkan and its bay on three levels of accommodation to a high specification. During the winter 2013-14, a 42 m2 roof terrace with its own kitchenette has been added, as a fourth level, to further enhance the views. Manzara Evi offers the best of all worlds with top quality traditional Turkish materials, combined with modern architecture by a notable Ankara architect and interior design by a Franco-English interior design firm. It includes a 32 m2 private pool with a shallow end. Surrounding the pool are well-lit travertine terrace areas with a covered area for up to 10 people, dining in the shade on food prepared in the kitchen or at the built-in barbecue. Moreover, at the end of the pool, it has a traditional Ottoman 'chill out' room which can sit 20 people. There is a further terrace with a pergola. The villa also offers parking for 2 cars, including a lock up garage. It is protected by a sophisticated alarm system.

The accommodation is arranged on three levels + the roof terrace. The stairs are a wide travetine spiral. Doorways are wide by British standards.
The walk down to the town is not advised for the infirm or very elderly since it is very steep in parts, although taxis are plentiful for the 8 minute drive. It takes approximately 20 minutes to walk down into town and 35 minutes up. This is worked out of the basis of one walking slowly since it is only just over half a mile BUT very steep in places.
The villa is the middle one of a luxury development of 3 villas and to one side are lovely terraced olive groves, whilst a dramatic mountain background lies behind.
The private pool is cleaned and checked every day.
One of its many excellent features is that number of terraces at your disposal:

- at pool level, there are 3 terraces: one covered one with a table/chairs to sit 8; a decked terrace by the pool and another travertined terrace to the right. In addition, there is the Ottoman room, which is like a further covered terrace with sitting for many
- at first floor level, the Master bedroom enjoys its own, private terrace with views over Kalkan Bay

Further Details
The historic town of Kalkan is one of the most beautiful spots on the Turquoise coast of Turkey and a wonderful resort for anyone who needs calm and relaxation. It is well-known for its beauty and its motto: 'keep Kalkan special'. As a result it is not over-built, noisy or 'tacky' like many other resorts.
Originally a small fishing village and trading port, it was home to mixed Turkish Ottoman and Greek inhabitants. Its traditional layout and building styles have generally survived to give atmospheric, narrow, traffic-free streets sloping down to the small pretty harbour.
Its locality has a healthy climate and low humidity, with sea breezes moderating the 30°-40° summer temperatures.
A welcome pack of consumables is provided.
A helpful handbook is available for guidance, local facilities and local numbers and a local British-run agency is at hand for help, advice, car hire and other bookings.

A fantastic villa in a wonderful location - we had a fantastic time. Breathtaking views, wonderful pool and a villa with everything we could want (the water deliveries by text were a welcome feature) and highly effective air conditioning. The walk up the hill (mountain?) was steep but kept us all fit! The restaurants were brilliant as was the weekly market. Thanks so much.

We all very much enjoyed our stay in Kalkan, and were very happy with the villa - it was peaceful, comfortable and just what we were looking for.
Also we wanted to thank Roger for coming and meeting us to show us and also for helping out with various things, which was much appreciated.

About the Owner
I'm Bernard Lien-Lambert and I had Manzara Evi (Turkish for house with a view) built to my own specification in 2004. I wanted it to be the best of both worlds and used a French interior designer for the inside, feeling, rightly or wrongly, that it's not a Turkish forte! I am French myself but an expatriate since I have been living and working in the UK for 30 years. I'm a senior education lecturer at a University in the South West of England and I also own a small 'boutique' hotel in Torquay (UK, not Turkey!). I ensured, when designing the house, that it prioritizes the 'chilling out' side, with a large Ottoman room at the end of the pool (as opposed to yet another bedroom), lots of areas (covered and open) for sitting down, sunning yourself with a totally open-plan ground floor. Enjoy!
Year property purchased: 2004
Why this location?
Kalkan, at the heart of the Turkish Mediterranean (Turquoise) coast, is, without a doubt, the best seaside resort in Turkey. It is neither too big nor too small and is very much the best of both worlds in many ways: touristic but not overly so and not spoilt by ugly high-rise buildings, loud music or people... Kalkan council have, as their motto: 'Keep Kalkan special'... and they do. Call me a snob but it doesn't have the tackiness of other resorts like Marmaris or Bodrum. As a French person coming from La Rochelle, I actually decided to sell my house on the nearby Ile de Ré in order to have my new second home in Kalkan. If you know that part of France, you'll apreciate how hard a decision it was...

The U.S. fish population has steadily depleted over the last decade due to over-fishing. This has made America dependent on seafood imports from other parts of the world, where food safety standards are not as strict. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is on the front lines of the battle to prevent dangerous seafood from making it onto our dinner tables.
At this time there are extensive surveillance program in which we are collecting samples. And looking for bacteria or toxins, or food additives, industrial chemicals, even drug residues.
The Los Angeles seaport is one of the largest sea ports in the United States and the fifth largest in the world. From an FDA perspective, volume is a big challenge. We visited one of a number of seafood processors and distributors that FDA inspects to see firsthand how investigators take samples for micro or chemical contaminates to make sure that the seafood is wholesome and safe to eat.
In addition to regularly scheduled field inspections, the FDA conducts unannounced inspections often prompted by consumer complaints. The minute there is any evidence that the products are hazardous, the FDA will work with customs to detain it and refuse entry to the United States.
One of the biggest hazards is seafood contaminated with live microbiological organisms. The FDA invited us into its high-tech microbiology lab in Irvine, Calif., where seafood collected during inspections is put through rigorous testing.
"The primary test we run is for salmonella, one of the organisms that we'll find that food picks up during processing. We will always test for salmonella. We'll also test for Listeria. Listeria is particularly dangerous to pregnant women. It can cause abortions and miscarriages. Our rate for finding violative samples runs anywhere between five to ten percent," explained Donna Williams-Hill.
The other major hazard threatening consumers is chemically contaminated seafood.
"Seafood can come in and be tested for a multitude of things. One of them is the presence of pesticides in the tissue. We screen for about 200 to 250 pesticides. We find three to five percent of all the samples we run to contain pesticides at violative levels," says Williams-Hill. "Seafood could be tested for heavy metals like lead and mercury. Mercury in fish is problematic. Seafood could be tested for filth, it could be tested for antibiotic residues, it could be tested for histamines. Different products have different problems."
Because microbiological and chemical contaminants can only be detected in the lab, the role of the FDA is crucial. But when it comes to spotting spoiled fish, the most reliable guide is our nose.
In fact, the FDA employs professional "noses," known as Organoleptic technicians.
'Organoleptic analysis' is the smelling of fish or other seafood creatures to see if it has decomposed or not. They are looking for decomposition smells, or sour smells.
With so much fish being imported from all over the world, the FDA is only able to test about two percent of our seafood. So they stress the critical role the public plays in keeping America safe from seafood contamination.
The FDA maintains a consumer complaint line. If you have a problem, you get sick, or you have a suspicion something's wrong, you can call the FDA.
There is some good news on the horizon… with the passage of the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2011, the FDA has been given more authority to require importing countries to abide by U.S. food safety standards.
In the meantime, the FDA will continue to analyze… probe… and sniff.

Third Point's holdings are worth $5.3 billion. Daniel Loeb, fund manager of Third Point, focuses on publicly traded stocks, expansion plans of companies, and forex opportunities.
According to the recent 13F filings, its top new buys were B/E Aerospace , Tiffany , and Virgin Media. Virgin media was recently acquired by Liberty Global
High demand for modular lavatory systems
Last year, B/E Aerospace signed a contract of $800 million with Boeing to provide a modular lavatory system from the first quarter of 2013. The lavatory system is integrated with B/E Aerospace's LED lights, a vacuum toilet, and a damage-proof lavatory oxygen system. According to the deal, B/E Aerospace will provide a modular lavatory system for Boeing's 737 Next-Generation and 737 MAX aircrafts.
Boeing is planning to upgrade its 737 fleet with various products of B/E Aerospace. It will also offer similar lavatory systems for the Airbus A320 in the third quarter of 2013. Considering the increasing demand for its lavatory system, B/E Aerospace expects total revenue to increase from $3.46 billion in the first quarter of 2013 to $3.89 billion by the fourth quarter of 2013.
B/E Aerospace is the world's leading producer of excellent aircraft cabin interiors. There is currently an increase in demand for its 'Super First Class' interiors, specially designed for the business class. Emirates Airlines, Delta, Qatar Airways, and Lufthansa are some of its main clients.
The business jet segment of B/E Aerospace reported an increase in revenue from $85.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 to $95.5 million in the first quarter of 2013. In the first quarter of 2013, B/E Aerospace sold 'Super First Class' suites worth $250,000 each to its major clients The revenue from the business jet segment is expected to increase from $96 million in the first quarter of 2013 to $106 million by end of 2013.
Super-fast broadband speed contributes to revenue
On June 10, 2013, Liberty Global acquired a 100% stake in Virgin Media -- Britain's top cable and broadband service provider, for $24 billion. According to the deal, Virgin Media and Liberty Global will have around 25 million subscribers.
The acquired company increased its broadband speed to 120 Mbps from 60 Mbps in February 2013 to attract new subscribers. This is the U.K.'s super-fast broadband. Around 9,000 new subscribers were reported in the first quarter of 2013. Also, Virgin Media reported revenue of $968 million from its broadband segment. At present, there are around 2.17 million subscribers of its super-fast broadband packages. These subscriptions are expected to increase to 2.98 million by the end of the fourth quarter. Revenue from the broadband segment is expected to increase to $1 billion by the end of 2013.
Virgin Media signed a contract with Sky's broadband, BskyB, to share its cable network for broadband service. To connect Sky's separate nationwide broadband network, Virgin Media's cable system having high-capacity service will be used. This will help Sky to meet its customer demand for high-speed up to 10 Gbps. This is a five year deal worth $65.36 million. The total revenue of Virgin Media is expected to increase from $13.87 billion in 2012 to $22.4 billion this year.
First diamond store in Russia
In April 2013, silver price decreased to $26.80 per ounce. To take the advantage of the falling prices, Tiffany has introduced new range of silver jewelry. It will be priced at $500 or below. Tiffany has come up with the idea of the '$500 and below' range of jewelry to attract young, middle, and upper middle class customers. This is the best range for customers who hesitate to spend a large amount on jewelry. It is expected that 25% revenue will be generated from silver jewelry. Total revenue is expected to increase from $855 million reported in the first quarter of 2013 to $904.4 million by the end of 2013.
Tiffany announced a new launch of its first diamond store in Moscow recently. It will open in the first quarter of 2014. Tiffany will sell its diamond rings, pink and yellow jewelry, and designer jewelry. The store is located in Moscow's luxurious shopping wonderland, Red Square. There are ample growth opportunities for Tiffany to generate revenue from Moscow, as the online sales of diamond jewelry are higher in Moscow. With the launch of this store, total revenue expected for the year 2014 is $1.3 billion.
Tiffany, with its new store in Moscow, will attract many high-class customers, and new silver jewelry range. This will help the company generate higher revenue.

Let's make this short and sweet. The Nets season is over and it was an awful disappointment. Joe Johnson's plantar fascitis apparently kept him from playing Game 7, and Deron William's cowardice apparently kept him from shooting. Joakim Noah was unstoppable. You know what, I'm just gonna stop thinking about this.
PJ Carlesimo is gone.
Net Income believes it (if Net Income even EXISTS), and every other die hard here believes it. It took too long to see more of Blatche, it took too long for most adjustments to take place, in general.
PJ was, admittedly, hampered. Using Avery's (seemingly aloof) coaching staff, and Avery's playbook. The offense was laughable. 3 guys with the ability to score 25 points and no idea how to put the ball in the hole, and even sometimes putting their fate in the horror show that is Reggie Evans.
But enough is enough.
Mike Fratello knows the Nets top to bottom. He is always telling us how he would operate the team as part of the broadcast. A career .549 winning percentage, respected around the league and all the players know him from his work on TNT. They are going to love playing for this guy and play hard for him.
There's going to be a lot of names thrown about when PJ Carlesimo is relieved of duty in a few days. But none will make more sense than the Czar.

Although a dozen people were arrested during last week's Appalachian Fair in Gray, including a carnival worker accused of rape, law enforcement officers say the fair is as safe as it's ever been.
Washington County Sheriff's Office investigators say 29-year-old Harold House confessed to having a sexual relationship with a minor inside the fairgrounds. House, who is from Johnson City, is charged with eight counts of aggravated statutory rape and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Investigator Jared Taylor says House admitted to having a sexual relationship with the 17-year-old girl eight times at the fairgrounds last week. He's also accused of giving the teen marijuana. According to Taylor, the two met while House was operating the Tilt-A-Whirl.
"The juvenile victim was riding on that particular ride and began talking with this individual," Taylor said.
According to Taylor, the two then exchanged phone numbers and made plans to runaway together, possibly as House continued to work on the fair circuit. Taylor says eventually, the relationship turned sexual.
"Part of the sexual encounters occurred in the grassy parking area across from Gate 2 and then some other sexual encounters and the marijuana use occurred down by the bunkhouses on the back side of the fair property," Taylor said.
House was one of 12 people arrested during the 2013 Appalachian Fair.
Deputies say they arrested Lonnie Greer on a federal gun charge. They also picked up a juvenile for selling marijuana inside the fairgrounds and arrested nine people for public intoxication.
"You can't keep it from happening but it's how you respond to it that matters and we were there to respond to anything that happened there and it was a good fair," Sheriff Ed Graybeal said.
Despite all of the arrests, Sheriff Graybeal, an Appalachian Fair board member, says the fair is safe.
"I think probably it's not more happening, it's just better law enforcement at the fair this year," Sheriff Graybeal said. "We had about probably 30 reserve officers plus our officers there, so they were everywhere. They were at the midway. They were at the gates. Nobody was hurt. We did have to enforce the law a little bit and send a few people home and arrest a few people, but overall, it was a great, great fair for Washington County."
According to Taylor, House worked as a traveling carnival employee for Drew Expositions throughout a handful of stops at this year's fair circuit.
"He said that he had traveled with them to several places," Taylor said.

By Paul Tennant
---- — NORTH ANDOVER — The new gymnasium planned for Kittredge School may be constructed without windows.
Instead of having a hardwood floor, children may be playing and exercising on a concrete surface.
School Building Committee Chairman Stanley Limpert said these are among the possibilities being considered by the panel. The May 21 Town Meeting appropriated $810,000 for the gym, but the town received bids from three contractors that were about 30 percent higher than that number, Limpert said.
Thomas Peterman, the architect hired by the town to design the gym, has been reviewing the plans to try to find areas where savings could be made, Limpert said. The School Building Committee met Monday night and discussed eliminating the windows and forgoing a hard wood floor.
Limpert, who also serves on the School Committee, noted that the Sargent School gym does not have windows.
The town will probably end up rejecting the three bids received and readvertise for new proposals, he said. Kittredge, on Main Street, across Route 125 from North Andover Middle School, is the only public school in North Andover that does not have a gymnasium. The "cafegymatorium," so dubbed by Principal Richard Cushing, functions as cafeteria, auditorium and gymnasium.
Plans call for the new gym to be attached to the rear of the school. Peterman said another saving might result from not replacing an outside drainage line.
Committee members made it clear they don't want the town to build a substandard facility.

Ensemble Chaconne plays music from 18th century London
Posted by: Sheldon Friends of Chamber Music
Ensemble Chaconne enthralls audiences with dramatic period-instrument performances of music from Renaissance and Baroque Europe. Repertoire ranges from well-known masterpieces to recently discovered works. Peter H. Bloom (Renaissance and Baroque flutes), Carol Lewis (viola da gamba), and Olav Chris Henriksen (lute, theorbo and early guitar) bring exhilaration and theatrical intensity to an intimate chamber setting with their vivid, historically-informed performance of music from the 16th through the 18th centuries.
The theme of their concert in Lincoln will be "European Masters in 18th century London", a fascinating survey of the music that captured the imagination of Londoners, from favorites during the early part of the century, to composers who were active in London at the end.
The three musicians have performed together since 1985, while also appearing in solo recitals and concertizing widely with other ensembles. In 27 years as a touring ensemble, the group has achieved unity and graceful interplay as a trio, while highlighting the strength and expressiveness of each individual.
Ensemble Chaconne is a member of the Early Music America Touring Roster, the New England States Touring Program, the Massachusetts Cultural Council Performing and Touring Roster, and the South Carolina Arts Commission's Artists-in Education Roster.

Orange Juice: It Does Your Body Good
Apples are the fruit most famous for keeping the doctor away, but new research shows oranges might give apples a run for their money. Rich in antioxidants and phytochemicals, oranges may help prevent many chronic illnesses, such as heart disease and some cancers.
Cancer Fighter: Adding an orange a day to your five fruit and veggie servings may cut the risk of stomach, larynx, and mouth cancers, according to research in Australia. Eating the fruit cut the risk of those cancers up to 50 percent. Researchers say the benefit comes from the fruit's more than 170 phytochemicals and 60 flavonoids, which have anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and blood clot-inhibiting properties.
Skin Saver: A compound found in oranges and other citrus fruits may prevent sun-related damage when applied directly to the skin before sun exposure, say researchers at the Arizona Cancer Center, in Tucson. The reason? This compound, perillyl alcohol, may stop cancerous lesions from growing by removing cancer-causing chemicals from the skin. Eating oranges, pomegranates, and grapes, or drinking fruit juices may provide some protection, but not nearly as much as applying the fruit directly to the skin. Because wearing fruit juice isn't truly an option, experts hope to develop sunscreen products that include these extracts within five years.
Heart Helper: Drinking two 8-ounce glasses of orange juice a day can reduce systolic blood pressure by an average of 7 percent and diastolic blood pressure by about 4.6 percent, according to a study at the Cleveland Clinic, a nonprofit medical practice in Ohio with an emphasis on education and research. Nutrients such as potassium, found naturally in orange juice, are known to reduce blood pressure.
Diabetics and Dieters Beware: Every glass comes with a hefty dose of sugar.

The Vaccines star Justin Young believes writing with pop phenomenon One Direction has not damaged his band's credibility.
In February 1D's Niall Horan revealed on Twitter he was working with Justin on new songs, while Harry Styles was a special guest of The Vaccines when the London rockers played at The Brit Awards War Child gig this year.
In an exclusive interview with MTV News before their huge O2 Arena headline show, Young said he understands why some Vaccines fans are disappointed about their collaboration, but the likeable frontman insists he "really enjoyed" the experience.
"They are both natural writers," said Justin when we asked him about his recent studio time with teen dreams Niall and Harry.
"I love writing songs and love pop music, so the process was exciting. I don't think they [One Direction] are going for a heavier, indie sound.
"Maybe it's damaged my credibility, but it wasn't The Vaccines who wrote for them, it was me, so I doubt it's damaged the band's."
Since making MTV's Brand New For 2011 shortlist, The Vaccines have become firm festival favourites and in September topped the UK album chart with their second record Come of Age.
Backstage ahead of their O2 Arena headline show, birthday boy Justin admitted he is still coming to terms with his band's success.
"It's insane because our first-ever gig in London was under three years ago, so to play here is mind-blowing.
"It's massively surprising how far we've come so soon, because honestly my aim was to headline the Barfly with songs like If You Wanna and Wetsuit, so it's crazy."
And Justin revealed to us The Vaccines are hoping to release their third album next summer.
"We've just recorded a new EP in LA so we're writing and I'm feeling really creative at the moment, so we're going to come off the road in October and by this time next year it'll be recorded."

Shadow of a Doubt: The Clarence Elkins Story
Pressing Onward
Melinda was not ready to give up. Her hopes had been raised, then dashed, then raised again and again. Since it was unlikely that Judith and Brooke had been attacked by some wandering stranger, she thought about every possible person where Judith lived who might have had some issue with her. She had always questioned the strange behavior of Tonia B., the woman from whom Brooke had sought help. Instead of calling an ambulance, taking her to the hospital, or at least taking her home, Tonia made the girl wait on the porch in her bruised condition and bloodstained clothing until after she had served her children breakfast. Brooke had told her what happened, yet this shocking information had failed to hurry her. Apparently, everyone just thought it was simple rudeness and left it alone, but to Melinda it looked suspicious.
Then further investigation turned up an interesting fact: this woman had been living with a man named Earl Mann and was the mother of his three daughters. In 2002, he'd been arrested for raping them. Under questioning, Tonia admitted that he'd come home in the early morning hours after the murder with deep scratches on his back. He'd claimed he'd been with a "wild woman." When Brooke came to the door of this very home, he'd grown angry and insisted she not be allowed inside. He'd also ordered Tonia to keep the police away. Apparently, she'd meekly obeyed him.
Melinda brought this attention to Clarence's attorney, but she was unable to get a judge to order a DNA test for this new suspect. Knowing that DNA could be tested from a licked envelope, Melinda sent letters to Mann under a fictitious name in the hope that he would respond. But he never did.
By a strange coincidence, Mann was serving his sentence in the same prison as Charles Elkins, and on the same block, which put Clarence in position to get a biological sample. He watched for an opportunity, aware that no one had investigated Mann, and that he might even be innocent, so Elkins did not wish to do anything that might bring unwanted attention to a possibly innocent person. Then one day, after five months, he saw Mann drop a cigarette butt on the ground and walk away. This was it, the opportunity to at least find out if this person could be tied to the murder. Eliminating him would dash Elkins' last hope, but linking him could dramatically turn the case, even free him. He picked up the butt, placed it inside a tissue and pressed it between the pages of his Bible. When he managed to obtain a new Ziploc bag, he sent the butt by mail to his attorney. He knew that someone might catch it and stop it, but surprisingly it went through.
The butt went for DNA testing and the saliva offered enough DNA to indicate that Mann could not be excluded as the source of the biological evidence from the crime scene and both victims. Under questioning, he admitted he'd been in the house several times, including that night, but claimed everything had been fine when he had left.
This turned attention back to Mann's girlfriend, Tonia, the first adult to spend time with Brooke after the incident. It seemed possible that she had suspected Mann and had protected him by coaching the girl. She had even testified that Brooke had named her uncle as the perpetrator.
The Office of the Ohio Attorney General reviewed the DNA analyses. They had already joined the Innocence Project in requesting that Elkins receive a new trial, and they used this new evidence to alert the Summit County Prosecutor's Office. When there was no response, AG Jim Petro called an unprecedented press conference to tell the citizens of Ohio about this egregious injustice. He wanted the county prosecution team to realize they could not stonewall him so easily. "I didn't understand the short-sightedness of the county prosecutor," he said to a UC Magazine reporter, "so I decided to go public."

Highways That Glow in the Dark
Read a cool piece on Wired about Netherlands. Apparently, they are planning on rolling out highway markings that glow in the dark. "The studio has developed a photo-luminising powder that will replace road markings — it charges up in sunlight, giving it up to 10 hours of glow-in-the-dark time come nightfall." Other cool things include climate sensitive markings on the road that would display snowflakes when the temperature drops below a certain point to warn drivers of slippery conditions.

What happens in the restframe with lightsource?
View Single Post
Mar3-12, 09:34 AM

Yes I thought about this too. But the result seems strange to me, because it now predicts that time goes slower in the rest frame and not in the moving frame, just because we changed the location of the experiment.
For example if we had done the experiment in frame A instead of B, t and t' would change place in the equation predicting opposite results, as such:
How is this possible?
According to Special Relativity, time does not go slower in any rest frame you choose, it only goes slower for objects/observers/clocks that are moving in any rest frame you choose. It's no different than saying that the rocket is moving in the ground's rest frame and the ground is moving in the rocket's rest frame. How is that possible?
But it does help to consider that in the ground's rest frame, the clock on the rocket is ticking slower and it is moving away from the clock on the ground. So between each tick of the rocket clock, as it observes the ground clock, it has moved farther away and so the image of the ground clock's ticks have farther to travel resulting in a longer time compared to its own ticks. It turns out that the ratio of the ground clock's tick interval compared to the rocket clock's tick interval as determined by the rocket is the same as the ratio of the rocket clock's tick interval compared to the ground clock's tick as determined by the ground. Work it out, you'll see that this is true.

LOL when he was doing that I was like what the hell. I was hoping he just meant gas grill lava rocks.
On the after show they got Angelina to admit she "hooked up" with the situation before the show took place.

So since Angelina left is the show getting a new roommate? Also I am surprised Mike "The Situation" hooked up with Snooki that girl is nasty, I guess alcohol does stupid things. Can't wait for next weeks episode when Snooki gets punched in the face by some dude, which is totally terrible but funny as hell.
Mike was funny on the after show. I really dont get Angelina's attitude. I never like people that feel they are above the rules and above other people.
That guy Mike is a total tool.
Does he have to say "the situation" every time he heas a camera in his face. Also, that was epic when he was turned down by one of the roommates. It showed that flashback of all the times he was "situation; do you like the situation, i love the situation, we work good together, yeah?" I thought the epic part was him sitting by himself while the un set/rose, like he cares about the sun in the morning/night!
I normally wouldnt like a guy like Mike but I dont mind him because he doesnt take himself seriously. He made up a little character and even he laughs at it. If he took himself seriously then it would get old.
The funny thing is almost all of them came in with nicknames but the only ones most people speak about is "The Situation" and Snickers, Snookles, Snookies?

Woah the guy that punched out Snookie (see punch in the link below) is actually a NYC gym teacher.
That is a nasty punch. Glad Snookie is OK
lol just watched this for the first time last night and wow... this show is hilariously awesome
when they showed the preview at the end of snoogles gettin jaw jacked i literally jumped out of my chair i couldnt believe it lol
cant wait till next week to see the aftermath
That little fat chick looks like an obese overly tanned Christina Aguilera.

This show just makes NJ look like a bunch of retards. Thank you MTV. First a gay governor, and now this.

Power Tank
43 Commerce suite 103 Lodi, CA 95240
So what options do you have? Up until now your only options were to carry a large electric compressor like those used by construction contractors if you had a high amp AC outlet. Or you could stop by a truck stop and hope that they had a working air hose and ready access to it. If you were lucky you might find an RV service shop and bum air from them. Of course, if your tires are warm you'd just be guessing at what pressure you should be filling to.
No more. The RV Power Tank is a unique new air system designed specifically to tackle this problem and it does it in a compact, lightweight, and easily portable system. Advanced Air Systems, Inc. has been designing high performance on-board air systems for the automotive industry since 1997.

News: With Brick Squad In Shambles, Gucci Mane Gains Interest From Houston Rap Star
Monday, Sep 9, 2013 12:18PM
After a heavy back-and-forth Twitter battle going down over the weekend between Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka Flame, amongst other associates, Houston rapper Riff Raff has revealed an interest in joining Radric Davis' team.
Gucci Mane appeared to spark Riff's interest after publicly asking Twitter followers if anyone wanted to join his crew.
"Who wanna sign to my new label? Who hot yall?," Gucci tweeted September 7. (Gucci Mane's Twitter)
Riff quickly revealed his interest and asked Twitter followers to support the possible label move.
"RETWEET iF YOU THiNK GUCCi MANE LaFLARE SHOULD SiGN JODY HiGHROLLER @Gucci1017," he tweeted September 8. (Riff Raff's Twitter)
Over the weekend, Gucci seemingly ended Brick Squad for good and announced plans to put together a new label.
Honestly, it's been hard for me to keep track of who Gucci Mane isn't beefing with these days. Thank God for Twitter since a recent outburst via the social network cleared up the allegiances of Gucci, Wacka Flocka Flames, Whoo Da Kidd, OJ Da Juiceman and others over the weekend. I think. Make your own judgements through this series of well-articulated Twitter jabs. Pretty much every Brick Squad member you know and love is in attendance, getting their name dragged through the mud for something or other. The spark that started the war of words seems to be Gucci's alleged assistance in Young Vito's acquittal of the murder of Slim Duncan. Gucci went at Brick Squad, Wacka went at Gucci, Frenchie came out of the woodworks to support his cousin (naturally), and even Wooh Da Kidd found a way to get involved, blasting Gucci and OJ. In a very Wooh Da Kidd kinda way, nobody seemed to notice. (Smoking Section)
While fans await to see if Riff and Gucci partner up, the H-Town rapper is currently gearing to release his new Neon Icon later this month.
"It's not a competition. It's my way of doing community service cause I'm trying to save on the environment and the gas money," he tells XXL during the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. "Instead of going back and buying my album a couple weeks later, you might as well go drive and make one trip. Pick up everything. Buy both albums. I'm just being nice to the environment." Just like every diehard fan, Drake's last new friend will certainly be picking up Nothing Was The Same in a few weeks. "Of course. I can't wait for it to come out," he said. (XXL Mag)

An instance of too much information among Facebook friends, some of whom were obvious not actual friends, cost a person her job, according to a story circulating through employment law circles.
This case involves a registered nurse in Michigan who was granted time off after applying under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act. She claimed she needed time off because of severe back and leg pain, and her employer granted that request.
But about a month into that leave, the nurse went on a vacation to Mexico, which had already been planned and paid for. She then posted photos of herself having a very good time on her Facebook page, and it was apparent from the pictures that she wasn't struggling with her back and legs. For example, one photo showed her holding a grandchild on each hip.
Co-workers saw some of the photos and some of the colleagues showed them to supervisors. The nurse was eventually fired for being dishonest about her disability — she said she needed a wheelchair to navigate the airports on her way to Mexico, and that turned out to be a lie — and a federal court upheld the discharge.
The caution for workers is that medical leave or leave to care for family members is not an excuse to commit fraud.
But there is a legal warning for employers here as well. Companies shouldn't try to "friend" their employees just to get a look at their vacation photos. A judge could well see that as an invasion of privacy.

Fruit farmers in North East are predicting a good fall harvest, if sunny, warm weather continues.
At Burch Farms it is shaping up to be a bumper crop of apples. The trees on the 75 acre orchard are heavy with 13 varieties of apples. It's a far cry from last year, when frosts did a lot of damage.
Tim Burch of Burch Farms said, "The apple crop is coming in hopefully as a record setting crop."
There is also good news in the vineyards of Westgate Farms. Poor weather caused big problems with the grape crop in 2012. The crop is expected to be much larger this fall.
Dave Wagner of Westgate Farms said, "Last year we picked one and-a-half tons per acre. This year we may pick 7,8, 8 and-a-half tons. But you never count your chickens until they are hatched."
Because of the heat last summer, the grape harvest was underway in late August. This year most picking won't start until next month.

By Jennifer Emert - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – Employers are likely adding more workers because the National Retail Federation is predicting an increase in holiday spending.
Some retailers are starting their holiday sales well in advance of Black Friday which is still three weeks away. K-Mart started its 3-Day Better Than Black Friday sale and Sears has started sales already.
Don't check your calendar, we know Black Friday isn't for another three weeks, but some retailers like K-Mart, Old Navy, and Sears are already jumping the gun with Black Friday now, sales. Economists say it gets customers ready to shop.
"Jumping ahead means to create awareness for customers to start seeing the products to start drawing customers into the shopping places and to play on the psychology of consumers that Christmas is here," said Dr. Amaechi Nwaokoro, Economic Professor at Albany State University.
While the holiday circulars are making the rounds, retailers like JC Penney aren't pushing holiday sales yet. This time of year they know it's temperatures that drive customers sales and with temps in the 90's no ones looking for a sweater.
"Up until today it's been a struggle because all retailers have been basically set for fall with heavy weight merchandise, sweaters, flannel, coats," said Joseph Iles, JC Penney Store Manager.
With temperatures dipping this weekend they say it will be the first time retailers get a chance to see what customers might be thinking. Those we talked to say they're working on getting in the holiday shopping mood.
"Last year I was, last minute doing everything, couldn't get what I wanted, so I said I'm going to get it early this time," said Tiaminka Jones, a shopper.
Retailers may have to wait another three weeks to get shoppers started and it's their own fault. With Black Friday blowouts they've conditioned shoppers to a start of the holiday buying.
"I think we've conditioned America to shop that way and so that's kind of what happens," said Iles.
They know ultimately it takes shoppers sometimes up to 15 days before Christmas to start thinking about gift giving for mom, dad, and other family members.
With a tougher economy consumers will often do a lot more comparison shopping, meaning they'll shop at several stores for the same item, looking for the best price before they're willing to buy.
The National Retail Federation is estimating holiday sales to rise more than two percent this year and total more than 447-billion dollars.

Future of PHP?
Hi all,
what do you think will be the future of PHP - is it going to survive or rather be replaced with other technologies? What direction is its development supposed to go?

I don't see PHP going anywhere, anytime soon. PHP has made some great strides. PHP 5.4 made a huge stride IMO with a built in web server (http://php.net/manual/en/features.co....webserver.php) I have not used this feature yet, but with one command, you can initiate a listener on a custom port to test your scripts. It does not have MySQL ported with it, which is perfectly fine with me since I will just set up a dev db along side my production one.
Just looking at the version log, you can see the strides it has made lately, and how often. It is a very lively project.Kyle Wolfe

On Jan. 31 CITGO Petroleum Corp. President and CEO Alejandro Granado and Citizens Energy Corp. Chairman Joseph P. Kennedy II launched the eighth annual CITGO-Venezuela Heating Oil Program with the first heating oil delivery of this winter's initiative. The program has become a humanitarian symbol of unity between the people of Venezuela and those in need in the United States.
February 7, 2010
In Venezuela, solidarity with Haiti is based on humanistic and historical reasons. Haiti played an important role in Venezuela's battle for independence, and as the world's first Black republic it served as an inspiration to Venezuelan patriots. Since the earthquake, Venezuela has rushed tons of food, tents and fuel to Haiti and forgiven all debts.
