Sustainability Calendar of Events
April 22, 2013
Earth Day
This year CF's Cycle Environmental Club is planning an Earth Day observance which will take place in Bedford plaza during the activity hour (4/22 – Noon until 1:45 pm). We have invited community organizations to display information about recycling, water use, Florida's aquifers, storm water and even a table about the importance of bees in agriculture. SAB will have games for students. Pizza and drinks will be provided by SAB and Cycle Environmental Club. It will be a fun afternoon with lots of useful information.
April 10, 2013, 12:00 pm. -1:30 pm.
The Mathematics of Sustainability
The Math Department has scheduled an open house. Humanity continually faces the challenge of how to balance human needs against the world's resources while operating within the constraints imposed by the laws of nature. Mathematics helps us better understand these complex issues and is used by mathematicians and practitioners in a wide range of fields to seek creative solutions for a sustainable way of life. Society and individuals will need to make difficult choices; mathematics provides us with tools to make informed decisions.

Recycle Mania Kicks off!
RecycleMania is a friendly competition and benchmarking tool for college and university recycling programs to promote waste reduction activities to their campus communities. Over an 8-week period each spring, colleges across the United States and Canada report the amount of recycling and trash collected each week and are in turn ranked in various categories based on who recycles the most on a per capita basis, as well as which schools have the best recycling rate as a percentage of total waste and which schools generate the least amount of combined trash and recycling. With each week's updated ranking, participating schools follow their performance against other colleges and use the results to rally their campus to reduce and recycle more.

Responsible Bathroom Water Conservation Tour Shows Americans How to Reduce the Use
Who: The public is invited.
What: The Responsible Bathroom Water Conservation Tour, joining Ocala's Smart Aqua Exhibits.
Where: The Discovery Center, 701 NE Sanchez Ave., Ocala, FL. 34470.
When: Noon to 8 p.m., Friday, June 10, 2011.
OCALA, FL. – Managing local water supplies – drop by drop – is now a mainstream concern across the United States. Many communities already are experiencing a tighter water supply, while 78% of consumers are looking for ways to cut household utility bills and energy costs.
The Responsible Bathroom Water Conservation Tour is hitting the road to bring water-saving solutions to consumers and plumbers. The national mobile marketing campaign will be featured in Ocala on June 10. The event is free and open to the public.
At this event, residents can learn about Marion County's toilet rebate program and other water conservation programs. Also, Smart Aqua Exhibits will be offered at the Discovery Center starting at noon. Come and learn how you can save water. And -- be sure to see the Aqua Soup Softball Game at 6:30 p.m. at the park!
The compelling forecasts include:
- Water shortages are predicted to hit 36 states in the U.S. by 2013, according to a federal report. This includes Florida.
- One-third of all counties in the lower 48 states now face higher risks of water shortages by 2050, with more than 400 of these 1,100 counties at extremely high risk for water shortages, based on new research.
- Ten cities in the U.S. have been identified in a new analysis as having the most acute exposure to problems that could cause an imbalance in water supply and demand as soon as 2013. The ten are (in ascending order): Orlando, FL.; Atlanta, Ga.; Tucson, AZ; Las Vegas, NV.; Fort Worth, TX; San Francisco Bay area; San Antonio, TX; Phoenix, AZ.; Houston, TX; and Los Angeles, CA.
It's time for solutions; it's time for The Responsible Bathroom Water Conservation Tour.
The Tour, sponsored by American Standard®, has economic and ecological points on tap, including:
- Hands-on demonstrations of the newest water and energy-saving showerheads, faucets, and toilets, as well as safety-oriented solutions like walk-in baths and hospital sinks. See how well WaterSense® toilets and powerful FloWise® showerheads perform.
- Calculations of how much water, money, and energy consumers can save with efficient bathroom products. For instance, based on an average four-person household, using water-efficient products could amount to an annual savings of 36,456 gallons of water and $211.
- The Tour's partnerships with The Nature Conservancy and the federal Environmental Protection Agency's WaterSense® program.
- Interactive games onboard the mobile showroom allow visitors to test their water knowledge in our Jeopardy-style quiz; play "Will It Flush?"; take the SpeedConnect® Challenge, and try out the EverClean® Pencil Test.
"At American Standard, our goal is to educate consumers that they can have it all great style and performance while saving water and energy. Our water-efficient toilets, faucets, and showerheads combine exceptional performance and superior style," says Don Devine, American Standard president and chief executive officer.
Imagine the impact if every family of four:
- Replaced an old faucet with a water-efficient model to save over 8,000 gallons of water per year.
- Turned off the water while brushing teeth to conserve over 11,000 gallons of water per year.
- Upgraded to a water-saving showerhead to save nearly 12,000 gallons of water per year.
By traveling the United States with this novel tour that is flush with ideas, the Tour is bringing water conservation information to the local level. To view the national Tour itinerary, go to www.theresponsiblebathroomtour.com. At some locations, the Tour is partnering with local water utilities and municipalities that offer rebates for the purchase and installation of water-efficient plumbing products. For details, visit www.responsiblebathroom.com and click on "Connection" and then "Water Saving Rebates."
Tuesday, May 24, 2011, 8 a.m. - 12 p.m.
Alternative Energy Conference - Featured guest speaker, Dr. James Fenton, Director of the Florida Solar Energy Center will deliver the keynote address entitled "The Cost of Doing Nothing."
Exhibits open at 7:30 a.m. and a Career Exploration session immediately follows the Conference.

The West Highland Line: between Glasgow and Mallaig
[Originally posted in Portuguese]
One of the most scenic train routes in the world, the West Highland Line crosses the north-west area of Scotland allowing one to see the moors, lochs and glens of the old country, celebrated in 2013: the Year of Natural Scotland.
Makes perfect sense. Scotland is both a land blessed by nature and loved by man. Centuries of human occupation did small harm for its dramatic landscapes and the countryside is a dream destination for those looking for a good trail. Castles turned into hotels offers history lessons full of violence and intrigue as well as the mandatory whisky (always with a y). If on a budget, family runs B&B welcome travelers who enjoy a pint of strong beer and hot pot of stew in front of a lit fireplace after a walk among the midst.
This idea of Scotland found me, at late October, embarking in Glasgow on the West Highland Line. After a three-hour run I got off the train in Corpach, two stops up north after Fort William. The line departs four times a day (three on Sundays) from Glasgow's Queen Station and takes about four hours until its final stop, in the small port village of Mallaig. From there, a ferry reaches Skye and the Small Islands – what gives the railline the nickname Road to the Isles (Rathad nan Eilean in gaelic).
These higher lands of the west make some of the most impressive scenarios of Europe, tainted green during summer and red in autumn, snow white during winter and full of birds and deers in spring time. And there is no better best way to experience it than on foot and train.
Train travels are part of European life and works specially well in the Great British islands, where they are relatively cheap, highly enjoyable and ridiculously punctual – at least for me, an South-American traveler uncostumed of trains. A wise tourist will do much of trading the annoying lines and delays of the air travels for a tranquil day on the rails, observing the changing landscape from the window.
I was wondering about how much the rigorous British rail timetable exemplifies this singular commitment with the clock that we call the British punctuality, when I got into another train, this time the steam from Fort William to Mallaig, on a Saturday morning.
Fort Willam is the end point of the West Highland Trail, that, as the railroad, also starts in Glasgow, but takes between five and seven days walking to complete. One can also reach Glasgow or Fort William inside the luxury and comfy Caledonian Sleeper, leaving Euston station every night and crossing England and part of Scotland on a twelve hour trip. Thing is: by night, you won't see the landscape and it is sure worth your attention.
One peculiar stoping point during the travel between Glasgow and Mallaig is the so-called 'most remote train station in Great Britain', the desolated Corrour, where nowadays you can find the 'most isolated restaurant in Great Britain', also an inn with three rooms for rent, the Corrour Station House. Film buffs will notice that this is the station where Renton, Sick Boy, Spud and Tommy got off the train in Trainspotting.
Fort William has churches, warm pubs, a pedestrian High Street and the talkative people of North Scotland – as a taxi driver in Glasgow said to me when hearing of my itinerary, 'the more to the north, the better the people'. In my small experience, I can say that I found some truth in that. The food is fit for cold climates and something of an acquired taste, including the haggis, a kind of sausage traditionally made using a goat or cow stomach.
The city lies on the shadow of the Ben Nevis, the highest peak of Great Britain (1344mt), the mountains of Ardgour and the Loch Linnhe, and is marketed as 'the capital of outdoor sports in the Great Britain'. Would be a dream if it wasn't crossed by a highway. The lack of charm given by the extend asphalt line gives the city a just-passing feel: you'll find proper accommodations, food, souvenir shopping and a sober whisky distillery tour.
Because of the adventure sports niche, there is also a very strong offer of equipment for walkers, mountaineers or simply travelers. The NeviSport shop, located right at the side of the bus central, saved me when my backpack lost a strap due to its heavy weight - a first rule of travelers that I keep forgetting: always travel light. The same driver who drove me around Glasgow laughed when helping me to put the bag inside the taxi saying "what are you carrying inside that, a body?". I almost cried when I told him that it was a selection of whisky and books that I was doomed to carry with me until the end of my trip.
The Road to the Isles, leaving from Fort William, can also be travelled by bus or car, giving one a little more of privacy and freedom. But the train, both the regular West Highland Line and the touristic steam train that works during summer season offers hot tea, scones and the chance to ride above the spectacular Glenfinnan Viaduct. Built in 1898, it faces the Loch Schiel and stands the monument of the same name, that marks the spot where Bonnie Prince Charlie started the 1745 Jacobite rising. This is what gives the steam train its name: The Jacobite.
Historic information aside, the viaduct became world famous after starring the Harry Potter films. Fans will sure recognize it. The huge success of the series boosts the tourism on the Jacobite tour, with the train painted as the Hogwarts Express. It is a day ride, stoping at the most scenic points. There is a two hour stop for lunch at Mallaig – more than enough. With a little luck, you can see deers running beside the rail.
It was my time for returning to England. But someone with more time to spend in Scotland would do well leaving Mallaig by ferry for the Western (Lewis, Harris, North and South Uist) and Small (Muck, Eigg, Rum and Canna) Islands. Or go back to the lochs and embark on the strange sort of tourism that is to look for an hypothetical ancient animal inside the Loch Ness – what can be done navigating the Caledonian Canal from Corpach to Inverness, the capital of the West Highlands.

ROCKY FACE, Ga. — It's been 12 years since Georgia Tech last won the Carpet Capital Collegiate.
That 2001 team included PGA Tour players Matt Kuchar, Bryce Molder, Troy Mattison and decorated amateur Carlton Forester.
"They've had some success," Georgia Tech coach Bruce Heppler said. "Hopefully, the same will be said about these guys in a few years."
The Yellow Jackets combined to shoot a 14-under-par 850 over 54 holes at The Farm Golf Club to capture the prestigious championship on Sunday. They beat runner-up Georgia by six, LSU by 14 shots over the course of three days where experience separated the good teams from the great teams at what's known as the Masters of college golf.
"What you hope for is that there is a rope and you put a knot in it," Heppler said, "so you can climb up a little bit higher."
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, with four freshmen in the lineup, placed 14th at 35 over.
"It was a good weekend for UTC golf because we had so many freshmen get a very big taste of the highest level of collegiate golf," UTC coach Mark Guhne said. "You can't practice this experience."
Georgia Tech junior Ollie Schniederjans credited his experience of playing the fabled course the past two years as part of the reason he shared individual medalist honors with North Carolina's Bailey Patrick. The both shot 9-under 207.
"It's a special week for me," Schniederjans said. "It's a great way to start the season."
He led the tournament from the 16th hole of his first round until the final hole of the last round. Schniederjans finished by scoring a double-bogey on No. 17 and then with a three-putt bogey on the final hole.
He could have left The Farm with a trophy. Instead, he shared it with Patrick for post-tournament pictures after missing a three-foot putt to the low side on the final hole.
"A win is a win, and I'm very happy right now," Bailey said. "I didn't get to high or low and I knew it wasn't over until the end. I know that you don't like to win that way. I had to get my focus back and concentrate on my putt."
Most of the Mocs were gone by the time the final putt fell. A few of them -- including those who didn't make the lineup this week -- headed off to the practice facility. Senior Davis Bunn led the team and tied for 27th at 4 over. Freshmen Stuart Thomas and Wes Gosselin tied for 53rd at 11 over.
"This was probably the biggest learning experience I've had because it was my first tournament and in one of the biggest venues of the year," said freshman Brooks Thomas who shot rounds of 85, 75, and 74. "This was good experience. I'll be better because of it."
But nobody was better than Georgia Tech this weekend.

The Continuum - Julie Penrose Fountain at America the Beautiful Park in Colorado Springs is back on for the summer.
The city hasn't had the money to pay for the operation and maintenance of the fountain since 2009, so Kristen Downs started the "Friends of Julie Penrose Fountain."
"When we can keep something like the Julie Penrose Fountain flowing that's free for the whole entire community, and families and children alike can enjoy it all summer, it's really exciting and it shows that summer is here," says Downs.
The foundation must raise a minimum of $25,000 to keep the fountain running for the summer. The fountain uses re-circulated water. Some of that water will evaporate and needs to be replaced. Money also goes to staffing the fountain for public safety, supplies, and maintenance.
The foundation has received money from the El Pomar Foundation, H. Chase Stone Trust, and members of the community. To donation, go online to the Friends of Julie Penrose Fountain. Also, Phantom Canyon has introduced the "Continuum Ale" and will donate 25% of the summer sales of the beer to the fountain.

Ordinary blenders can't begin to approach the speed or the results of the Vita Mix Professional Series multi-tasking appliance. It easily handles the work of many different appliances so you can blend, puree, chop, juice, grind and more in one versatile machine the way the professional chefs do. This Vita Mix Professional blender is a patented 64 oz durable and lightweight polycarbonate (the same material used in airplane windows) container that creates a powerful vortex which forces ingredients up from the blade and back down to the center to ensure all ingredients are properly processed. Removable lid plug allows ingredients to be added while processing.

Specific proposed changes to the LEED-H rating system include:
¦ Changing the certification point scale from 136 points to 100 points to align with other rating systems
¦ Weighting credits within their categories to reflect their environmental impact
¦ Updating Energy and Atmosphere credits to meet new Energy Star for Homes Version 3.0 requirements
¦ Requiring all projects to complete Energy Star 3.0 HVAC inspection checklists
¦ Adding 10 new credits including those for trades training, WaterSense Homes certification, solar-ready rough-ins, and HRVs and ERVs
¦ Addressing plug load management.
Perhaps the most significant changes would shift credits from relative performance comparisons like HERS rating levels to what Foss referred to as "absolute metrics" for annual energy consumption. This performance pathway would establish a prerequisite for "Maximum Absolute Energy Performance," and award credits to "Optimize Absolute Energy Performance."
This new approach would actually reward design decisions that affect performance in ways that a prescriptive path can't, and offer fairer comparisons between homes—including existing homes. "The real metric here," added Foss, "is the total energy consumed."
Many of the changes to LEED-H that are under consideration by the USGBC have been stimulated in part by new Energy Star 3.0 requirements going into effect this month. Energy Star levels are referenced as baselines in a number of LEED credit practices, so changes to Energy Star would by definition affect the LEED Rating System. Energy Star 2011 provisions include new building science–based requirements, measures to reduce thermal bridging, a change to a variable HERS threshold that will lead to lower HERS ratings, and new checklists covering Thermal Enclosure System, HVAC System Quality Installation, and Water Management.

What it Means to be a Community Manager (Infographic)
Being a Community Manager for an Organization
Community Manager is not a job title that has been around for very long. When you tell someone that you're a "Community Manager for such-and-such company," you're likely to get a confused look back. This doesn't mean that you're not an integral part of your company's success.
For most companies, Community Managers are part brand managers, part marketing strategist, and part consumer relations. All of these roles are held simultaneously, and while balancing a handful of other tasks, you may find yourself involved in on any particular day. The great part about being a Community Manager has to be the amount of engagement you get to be involved with every day. You are on the front lines with the customers, brand advocates, and those who want to be part of the community. This means that you have to wear many hats, which is also fun. Really, when you are a community manager, you should never become bored. One minute, you are writing content, and then someone posts a complaint on Facebook, and the next minute you are diplomat. In the infographic above, you can see all the roles you may need to play. I think it does a good job breaking down all the situations you might have to be in.
Personally, I think one of the hardest roles to play are the ones that involve customer service. You need to be an active listener and sympathetic to the needs of your customers and your members. This sometimes requires you to be the voice of reason during tough situations. The best way to do this is to remember this do's and don't:
1) Be approachable. You want your members to feel like they can come to you when there is a problem or a mis-communication.
2) Don't be afraid to show authority. Groups need a leader and your members will turn to you looking for it. As a community you do want to accomplish things and it s your job to keep people on task. Implementing this will allow your movement or cause to continue to move forward.
If you learn how to listen to your members and treat them with respect, you will master one of the hardest roles.
To help you get going, here are 5 necessary items for creating an online community.
I am compiling a list of all the roles you may play as a community manager. If you know of any more, please post a comment below or Tweet @BigMarker.

Exmouth students celebrate strong A-level results
By ExmouthPeople | Friday, August 19, 2011, 08:15
IT MAY HAVE BEEN a damp morning but Exmouth students and staff were celebrating as strong A-Level results were announced...
Exmouth Community College students delighted with their A-level results (from left): Elena Holmes, Emily Coppin-Harris, Rosie Williams and Mark Green
Exmouth Community College achieved an improved overall A2 pass rate (A* to E) of 95%, up from last year's 93% and returning to the level of 2009, although the figures are slightly down on the national average of 97.8%. The rate of ECC students securing A to C grades has also improved to 63%, again returning to the level of two years ago. Eighteen A* grades were achieved by Year 13 students, while two Year 12 students gained an A* grade in a one-year A level.
In addition the College also gained its best-ever AS results, with a record-breaking 86% of students gaining A* to E grades, a 12% improvement on last year, while 14% of students gained A* to A grades, a huge increase. The impressive AS pass rate is being seen as "a platform for amazing results next year".
Simon Tanner, Assistant Principal and Head of Post-16, said, "I am delighted that the focus and energy the students and staff put in all year has resulted in this fantastic set of results, which will create all sorts of great opportunities both in and out of the College next year.
"The Year 13s did fantastically to pull back from a slight disappointment of last year, but the year 12s' superb results – the best we've ever had – give a platform for amazing results next year. So it's great news for everyone. It's very good this year, but actually what it suggests about next year is even better."
David Turner, Deputy Principal, 14–19, said "As a college, we started the year saying we will take pride in our work. We have certainly done that and continue to strive to reach the best possible Post-16 provision for all the young people of Exmouth. I am extremely proud of our Post-16 students, and wish all of them the very best in the future."
College Principal Tony Alexander said, "I am absolutely delighted with the improvement in results at both AS and A2 level, which is a great credit to the hard work of Post-16 students. It is a great tribute to the professionalism and dedication of the teaching staff."
Delighted students
Notable ECC students this year included Rosie Williams and Ben Askew, who both achieved two A* grades each. "I needed the results to get to Manchester to study medicine, so I'm very, very pleased," a delighted Rosie told Exmouth People.
Others who also did extremely well were Elena Holmes (A* and three A grades), Sarah Coates (three As), Mark Green, Emily Coppin-Harris and Alex Hurlock (A*, two As and a B), Esther Waistell and Rebecca Rankin (two As and two Bs), and Sam McCracken (two As and a B).
"I'm, er, quite happy!" said Elena Holmes about her A* and three A grades. "I'm going to Bristol to study English Lit. It is a huge surprise, because I thought I hadn't got the grades on some of them."
Emily Coppin-Harris was also very pleased with her A* and two As and a B. "It was more than I was hoping for," she said. "It's come as quite a surprise! I'm going to go to Bath to study pharmacy."
Mark Green hadn't quite achieved the result he thought he might but he was still delighted with his A*, two As and a B. "That's good enough to study chemistry at York, although it's not quite in the order that I expected. It's the course I wanted to do though."
No gap year
Rather than take a gap year, many ECC students were intending to go straight to university. Had the impending hike in tuition fees – due next year – influenced their decision?
"Maybe if I hadn't got in, I would have taken a gap year, and applied again," said Elena Holmes, "but the hike in fees has made a difference."
And were they concerned about the debts that they could get in to at university?
"I'm not too worried about it," said Mark Green. "It''s something that has to be done."
"It's not a massive debt like a normal debt is," says Elena. "You just regard it as a tax really."
Simon Tanner confirmed that many ECC students were keen to find university places, rather than take a gap year.
"Because of fears of the debt I think there's been a rush and people obviously want to get their places," he said. "I've been working out who's got on to their courses and most of them appear to have. If it's not their first choice, then at least they've got a safety net, and that's what you want – everybody to be getting on to the next stage. And as long as they have done, then you're happy."
AS results
The AS results were a big delight to the college staff. "It's the best we've ever had, so that's fantastic," said Simon Tanner.
In Year 12, Beth Foxton and Eleanor Williams gained an A* grade in a one-year A level as well as A grades in their AS courses. Other top AS achievers included Jacqueline Hughes (five As), Julian Ashwin, Abby Swain and Jamie Heavens (four As), Daisy O'Louglin (three As and a B), Edward Pearce (two As and two Bs) and Chris Luff (two As and a B).
Are you happy with your A-Level results and, if not, have your lecturers jumped in and offered the support you need?
Share your results day successes and sagas, and photos of your celebrations, on Exmouth People – and tell us whether or not you think it's better to stay on at your local school after your GCSEs or go further afield to alternative colleges and start afresh.
Or did you go to a local independent school or grammar? Tell us your Results Day stories here and post your advice to those who are set to receive their GCSE results next week, and have to decide on their post-16 choices.

News Release
A.B.C. Drug Court Graduate Celebrates Sobriety
September 30, 2013
Henderson, Nev. – Stewart Meyer is sober for the first time in over 55 years thanks to the Assistance in Breaking the Cycle (A.B.C.) Drug Court. A recent graduate of the program, Mr. Meyer starting drinking at age 16 and for the first time since then, he has remained sober for over a year as part of the program's requirements.
A.B.C. Court was developed by Judge Douglas Hedger of the Henderson Municipal Court to help rehabilitate repeat misdemeanor offenders. He found that many of the repeat misdemeanor crimes are related to long-term drug and alcohol addictions, as well as mental health issues. Many offenders also struggle with homelessness and are in need of life skills training. A.B.C. Drug Court focuses on these underlying issues and provides resources to help turn lives around.
Mr. Meyer has a misdemeanor criminal history with 71 arrests and had spent over 600 days in jail over the course of time. He was referred to A.B.C. Drug Court after facing a trespassing charge and 6 months in jail. As a condition of his probation he successfully completed the program about a year later. "I used to dread waking up each morning," he said. "Now I enjoy getting up every day and I look forward to the rest of my life."
Participants of A.B.C. Drug Court undergo court-ordered counseling, drug testing, court appearances and a requirement of daily contact with a case manager. They live in a court mandated sober-living environment and are required to obtain job skills and conduct daily job searches until they find employment. If they complete the program, their lives are changed. If however, they fail the program, they receive the maximum jail sentence.
"We've seen a remarkable change in Stewart," says Judge Hedger. "Of all our participants, he has spent the most time in jail and now he's become a productive crime-free citizen."
Stewart continues to attend daily Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and has obtained a reinstatement of his veteran's benefits. He says, "It's hard for me to express the way I feel now. I haven't been sober in 55 years. Now all these good things are happening and my personal affairs are starting to fall into order."
Mr. Meyer is one of 24 graduates since the program's inception in 2008. As defendants successfully complete the program, lives are changed, criminal activity ceases, homelessness is addressed and Henderson streets become safer. For additional information on partnering with the A.B.C. Drug Court program, please contact Toni Barden, Henderson Municipal Court, at (702) 267-3354.

|Head Coach
|22nd Season
|Previous College:
Kathy Morris begins her 22nd season as head coach of the Adrian College women's basketball team. She is the all-time wins leader in school history (229), passing Nancy Walsh on December 8, 2012 in a win over Kalamazoo (73-62). Morris in 2013-14 will tie Walsh with 22 seasons on the bench and has coached the most games at Adrian (527).
Since 1997, Morris has guided the Bulldogs to three seasons of 15 wins or more (1997, 1999, 2002) and four appearances in the MIAA Tournament semifinals. The 2007-08 Lady Bulldogs defeated Calvin on the road in the tournament quarterfinals as the fifth seed before falling at Albion.
One of the most successful campaigns came in 2002, when the Bulldogs finished third in the conference with a 17-10 record. In the 2002 MIAA Tournament, Adrian defeated Saint Mary's in the opening round before falling to Kalamazoo in the semifinals. Morris coached a First-Team All MIAA player (RaSheida Edwards), a Second-Team MIAA player (Sarah Vincke) and two honorable mention players (Lisa Butts, Annie Morton).
In all, Morris has coached 11 First-Team All-MIAA players in her tenure, including two MIAA scoring champions in Tricia Clark (1997) and Ann Terpstra (1998). She has also coached three 1,000 point scorers (Vincke, Terpstra and Renae Huyck). Vincke is second on Adrian's career points list with 1,486.
Morris is a member of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) and the Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan (BCAM). She was a regional NCAA committee member from 2000-03.
Before coming to Adrian, Morris served as an assistant basketball coach and head soccer coach at her alma mater, Muskingum College from 1989-92. In 1991, Muskingum's basketball team advanced to the NCAA Division III championship game before falling to St. Thomas (Minn.). The following season, the Muskies advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16.
A 1989 graduate of Muskingum College, Morris played four seasons on the women's basketball team, serving as a captain during her junior and senior years. During her senior season, the Muskies finished 29-2 and were the first team Ohio Athletic Conference history to go through the regular season and conference tournament undefeated. Muskingum advanced to the NCAA Elite 8 before falling to eventual national champion Elizabethtown (Pa.). Morris is currently third on Muskingum's all-time scoring list with 1,560 points. She was inducted into the Muskingum College Hall of Fame in Oct. 2000.
Morris earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in history, physical education and secondary education from Muskingum College. She also received a Master of Science degree in physical education, health and sports science at Ohio University in 1992. Morris (formerly Lee) has three older brothers who are prep coaches in Ohio. Dennis Lee is the head football coach and girls basketball coach at Bluffton High School. Mike Lee is the assistant principal and boys basketball coach at Minster High School. Greg Lee is the assistant girls basketball coach at VanBuren High School.
She lives in Adrian with her husband Charlie and three daughters, Ashley, Lindsey and Abigail.

Paypal bank transfer, why is it so slow?
Why does it take so long to transfer money from PayPal to your bank account? In this day and age of electronic or online banking there's surely no reason why a bank transfer transaction should take so long? It's something I have noticed not just with PayPal as it goes. It happens with other lots of other companies and the delay always seems to be with money going into your bank account, never the other way round.
When you pay a bill or need to transfer money to a company, the cash leaves your account quite quickly in most cases, in fact quite often instantly (sometimes a bit slower with a debit card). Well that's quite interesting don't you think?
They don't call it fantastic plastic for nothing because the money just shoots straight out of your bank account. This goes for paying for goods or services with PayPal too, they seem to get the money out of your account in no time at all.
I'm fed up waiting for my cash...
When someone buys something from you though, it's a different matter and I'm fed up waiting for my cash that's stuck in the system somewhere! Have you ever sold anything on eBay recently? You're more or less forced to use PayPal unless it's a pick up only item and most people go for the PayPal option. They discourage other forms of electronic payment you see, so there's not really much choice unless you can find someone who actually has a chequebook these days. Having sold something recently, the buyer insisted on using PayPal and it took 5 days for money to reach my bank.
I'd dearly love to know where that money was in all that time. The guy who sent the money to me no doubt lost it out of his account straight away and I certainly didn't benefit from it over the last week. Was it sitting in some account somewhere making interest for some large faceless company perhaps? I think so and I'm fed up being screwed over by big companies and banks. It's us lot at the bottom of the ladder with less money to play around with that suffer every time!

I have done some research and come across many people with same problem as well as others, high seller fees, ebay is hand in hand with PayPal and there are very scant alternatives provided by ebay, accounts behind shut down for no good reason, these are but a few of the gripes I have found on the Internet about ebay.
I want an alternative where I don't get charged absurd seller fees, where I get rewarded for being a trusted seller. I have looked into other auction sites and while there are many good ones (Ebid.net, bonanza.com), I have decided to make my own site. I want to get a better understanding of what people don't like about ebay/PayPal, what people would change if they could even past disputes people have had with ebay. Please respond to this with any problems you've had, anything you don't like about the site big or small. My aim is to make a haven for people fed up with ebay and I thought the best place to start is with potential users.

The point here is paypal to bank. This process should be different than the internal paypal to paypal process as paypal needs the correct banking details to make payment. there are also restrictions from a 'cash' movement point of view in different countries and currencies on when banks will receive the funds from paypal and then be able to execute the deposits on the correct account.
Even the 'bank' side may be manual and this could also take time.
There is no real instant 'online banking' with immediate transfer of funds. That is only in the movies!!
Currently online banking is a format for users to use cashflow online rather than write a check (do people really still do that- if so why??), or physically go to a cash machine or bank. The process behind the online banking can view the same way as writing a check (debit of the account) but instead of the length of time for the check clearing - when banks will send money back and forth to cover the check - the time is reduced as bank A needs to verify funds are on the sending account before they can be sent and then Bank B needs to receive the funds and verify the account to credit is correct.
Many small and local banks still handle a few steps of the process manually as people are cheaper than some of the technology out there in the banking world. Yes even in the UK and US!
Global banks also still handle portions of this manually but that would be based on exceptions - such as an IBAN or accoutn number not matching as part of an automated system. This 'queue' is then manually viewed to correct or investigate why the issue occurred.
More often than not it is an issue on the sending individual or sending bank not having sent the correct information.
This is a similar when sending money abroad in the same currency - some nuacnes are there as each local bank has their own process. If you are sending corss-currency Briths Pounds to Euros or Dollars then the processis a bit more complicated on how the currency will be exchanged on the sending side or receiving side and can also be a bit manual and then there are the fees - international transfer, exchange fees etc....
Hope this helps on why a transfer may be delayed, but a bank must receive the money, verify the money and correct credit to an account. Not all banks are created equal.....
Every bank transfer takes time - 27-Jul-11 10:18

Funny how the money leaves my account almost instantly! Shame it doesnt work both ways!
Lesson learnt: DO NOT USE EBAY IF YOU NEED CASH QUICK!
PissedOffWithPaypal - 28-Jun-11 17:26
What ebay and Paypal do is pretended they are not the same company when it suites them and the same when it does suite them.
NoPal is not regulated by the Sec or FSA and they spend a fortune lobbying/bribing politicians but you real have to look to find information because ebay is googles bigest customer and they activly supress negative views of Paypal member

Cunningham School was constructed on Third Street in 1922. The school was built to replace Presque Isle's first high school (built in 1910) which was consumed by fire in the winter of 1921. Frank Cunningham came to the school in 1923 as a teacher/ principal. In the late 1940s, the town council decided that the town needed a new high school because of overcrowding. A new high school was erected in the city of Presque Isle, in 1949. The same year, 1949, the old high school was dedicated to Dr. Frankin S. Cunningham who had served there as principal for twenty-six years and renamed in his honor. Dr. Cunningham relocated to the new high school to serve as their principal. Cunningham School shut its doors for the last time in June of 2005 and all students and staff were relocated to the new Presque Isle Middle School. Cunningham Middle School was demolished in 2006.
The photos available on this site are the images that hung in the hallways of Cunningham Middle School that generations of students viewed on a daily basis. The photos now are available for purchase. The money raised in the sale of these photos will benefit the MSAD#1 Emergency Student Fund.
MSAD#1 maintains a Student Emergency Fund in order to help our students with specific needs related to their education. This fund is generated by donations from individuals and from fundraisers held by student body service clubs (i.e. Varsity Club). The MSAD# 1 Emergency Fund is accessed or administrated through MSAD#1's Health Services Office.
The Emergency Fund is in place to help our children succeed in school. Student needs for items such as school supplies or warm winter clothing are referred to the Health Services Director. Recommendations are made by MSAD#1 social workers, teachers, and secretaries as needed.

Why you should follow the Chase for the Sprint Cup - Reason 1
By September 13, 2013 / Photos by LAT Photographic
Richmond's Aftermath
As youre probably aware by now, there was much drama last week at the final race of the regular season. In fact, with just two days until the first Chase event at Chicagoland Speedway, there are still looming fines and they've set a new precedent by allowing Jeff Gordon to be the 13th man in The Chase. If you think that the NASCAR scrutiny, team orders, and questionable practices involved are going to dissipate, you've never watched a championship. Expect metal to be bent in large quantities, new grudges to be created, and more than likely a few angry petitions to NASCAR following in-race disputes.

Marcell Dareus & Bills New Defensive Scheme Will Prove Buffalo Can Compete With Brady
The AFC East has been simply known as Tom Brady's playground. A new defensive scheme installed by Defensive Coordinator Mike Pettine will help defensive tackle Marcell Dareus and his teammates prove to everyone that they won't be pushed around anymore.
Buffalo Bills Not Circling the Wagons Like They Used To
The Buffalo Bills head into Sunday's game against the 49ers as underdogs. Buffalo had a rough end to last year and has had an up-and-down start to this year. For a team that has had problems with turnovers and no real way to move the ball other then on the ground, the Bills will have quite a challenge to beat San Francisco.

It is a common problem in weight training, but it can also be experienced by runners and other athletes. It is a condition that can be around for years if you don't rest. Many people don't take it seriously, I know I haven't. But overtraining is a serious issue.
I have been in sports since I was a little girl. I'm very competitive and I want to be the best in everything I do. I train really hard…way too hard! And I have always had a problem with slowing down.
Symptoms of overtraining include:
- Decreased muscular strength
- Inability to complete workouts
- Depressed immune system
- Frequent minor infections/colds
- Insomnia
- Depression
In my case, I experience some of these symptoms when I feel I'm overtraining. I can't lift as heavy as I could before. I get tired very easily. I get a cold or the flu way too often. I have problems with sleep. And sometimes I get very depressed and I have no idea why.
So, when you feel like you could be overtraining, here is what you can do:
- Take a break from training. You can start with a week off.
- Temporarily decrease the intensity of your exercise.
- Get more sleep (7-8 hours).
- Get a good massage.
- Use foam rollers.
- Change/improve your diet
I've lost count of how many colds/flus I have had this year and I really need to relax! So, I have decided to take two weeks off from the gym! I have 19 weeks until the IFBB Women's World Championships and I want look my best!
Hope you all have a great week:)

Posted Friday, August 3, 2012 --- 7:30 a.m.
Here is the latest Wisconsin sports news from The Associated Press:
ST. LOUIS (AP) -- The Milwaukee Brewers hope to continue their winning ways as they face the Cardinals tonight in St. Louis. The Brewers will send lefty Randy Wolf to the mound to take on Cardinals right-hander Joe Kelly. Milwaukee is coming off a three-game sweep of the Houston Astros.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema says running back Montee Ball won't be ready for camp after suffering a concussion during a street fight. Bielema said yesterday that Ball's absence will spare him hits and give other backs more repetitions. Police say five men jumped Ball and beat him as he was walking near campus early Wednesday.
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Green Bay Packers offensive line coach James Campen doesn't want any players thinking their job is a given. Right tackle Bryan Bulaga and new Packers center Jeff Saturday are among the linemen expected to start for Green Bay. But Campen says changes are possible because "guys can emerge in the preseason."
DENVER (AP) -- Rookie Josh Rutledge homered in his fourth straight game last night to lift the Colorado Rockies to an 8-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Tyler Colvin added a tiebreaking double in the seventh for Colorado. Carlos Beltran had an RBI double for the Cardinals.

Know Your Product: Ear Pwr, Super Animal Brothers III (Carpark)
If a pop-techno album ever warranted its own Surgeon General's warning, Super Animal Brothers III is it. Something along the lines of: "This disc contains high does of sacharrine and obnoxious cuteness, which may trigger diabetic comas in some listeners. Do not ingest more than once in a single 72-hour period."
What Ear Pwr's Sarah Reynolds and Devin Booze-formerly based out of North Carolina, now nesting in Baltimore-proffer is gut-pummeling, madcap, dance-til-you-drop twee that is all puerile, cartoon surface. And it flashes by in a neon blur as dumb-happy as it is pleasure-point stabbing: tension-ratcheting "You Are the Bomb" taking that bit of vernacular seriously in 30 fleeting seconds of silliness, "Boys II Volcanoes" squishing chopped chimes and virtuoso melisma into relentless nonsense about skulls in the sea, aerobic "Beam of Light" pureeing synth sounds-at which point the song begins to careen from that churn into I Am The World Trade Center ripoff fodder, then back to the tonal melee. (See also: "Future Eyes.")
Both Ear Pwr and IATWTC use bright, halogen synths and shameless pop hooks, but IATWTC's music had the benefit of being about actual adult emotions based in fact; Ear Pwr aim for conjectural giggles. The title track spikes glow-stick hyperactivity with hip-hop woot-woots and animal-buddy babble; "Sparkley Sweater" is a chiptune earworm about a sparkly sweater, while cheesy skitter-fest "Cats is People, Too" has something to do with kittens in pyramids and randomly quotes Rammstein's 1997 hit "Du Hast."
Yet there's something to be said for music this single-mindedly uninhibited, this merrily shallow, this steamrollering. Ear Pwr harnesses and simulates the heedless energy that spring is supposed to trigger within us all. Who can blame the band for channeling it into charmingly vapid songs such as "Diamonds Liquor Leather," with its helium-balloon synth-squiggles and "I'll do the dealing if you'll do the wheeling/ We'll make lots of money and it will be funny" refrains? And, honestly, who among us doesn't just need this kind of cut-loose malarkey now and again?
Ear Pwr plays the Zodiac May 17. For more information visit whamcity.com

Hernias are a condition you probably associate with men, but women can suffer from hernias, too.
They can be painful and debilitating, and while a simple surgery can fix the problem. Sometimes the hardest part for women is getting the right diagnosis.
Author Martine Ehrenclou writes about how patients can take charge of their health care, but recently, Martine had to follow her own advice when she started experiencing severe abdominal pain.
Martine Ehrenclou, suffered from hernias, describes what the pain felt like, "The pain felt like a red hot poker in my lower abdominals."
Martine saw 12 different doctors and spent 10 months in intense pain, still no one could tell her what was wrong. Then she found a doctor who finally gave her an accurate diagnosis.
Ehrenclou describes the moment when she found a doctor that could help her, "She walked in and said this is what you have, and 'I can help you' and I cried!"
It was a hernia. Martine actually had two.
Doctor Shirin Towfigh says hernias are often overlooked in women, "They tend to have the pain, but not the bulge."
A hernia happens when part of an internal organ bulges through a hole in a muscle-which can entrap abdominal fat and compress nerves, causing intense pain. Women are more likely to have internal hernias. The hard part: diagnosing it.
Dr. Towfigh explains how exams are not always enough, "An exam alone is not 100%."
Pain from hernias may be misdiagnosed as pelvic pain from ovarian cysts, fibroids, endometriosis or adhesions. Doctor Towfigh says a vaginal exam, an MRI and a complete patient history are the best ways to spot one, and fixing a hernia is simple.
Dr. Towfigh explains the way they fix the problem, "The same way when we were kids and we had a hole in our jeans, and mom would put the patch, that's a simple way of describing our surgical way of fixing it."
Martine had hers fixed and can now focus on making music with her daughter, and not her pain.
Ehrenclou describes how much it helped, "I'm getting my life back."
Women account for only 8-percent of hernias, but Doctor Towfigh says that figure is probably low because many hernias remain undiagnosed.
She also says sometimes, if a woman is examined while standing up. The bulge will show, but often, hernias cannot be seen or felt.
WHAT IS A HERNIA? A hernia is usually a sac formed by the lining of the abdominal cavity (peritoneum). The sac comes through a hole or weak area in the fascia, the strong layer of the abdominal wall that surrounds the muscle. A hernia occurs when the contents of a body cavity bulge out of the area where they are normally contained. These contents, usually portions of intestine or abdominal fatty tissue, are enclosed in the thin membrane that naturally lines the inside of the cavity. Hernias by themselves may be asymptomatic (produce no symptoms) or cause slight to severe pain. Femoral hernia is the most common form of hernia found in women; it appears as a bulge in the upper thigh. SOURCE: (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth);(www.emedicinehealth.com)
WOMEN AND HERNIA: There are various types of hernias, based on where they occur. Femoral. Inguinal, ventral and umbilical are all types of hernias that can affect women. Women are most likely to suffer from femoral hernias. This pain is particularly noticeable when bending or lifting heavy objects and pressure is applied. A tender lump may develop in the area where the hernia has developed.
Some abdominal hernias are present at birth, others develop later in life. Any condition that increases the pressure of the abdominal cavity may contribute to the formation or worsening of a hernia, such as obesity, heavy lifting, coughing, straining during a bowel movement or urination, chronic lung disease, and fluid in the abdominal cavity. SOURCE: (www.emedicinehealth.com)
SYMPTOMS: Signs of a hernia can range from noticing a painless lump to the severely painful, tender, swollen protrusion of tissue that is unable to push back into the abdomen (an incarcerated strangulated hernia). With femoral hernia there may be some groin discomfort that may worsen when the woman stands, lifts heavy objects, or strains. Sometimes, the first symptoms are abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. SOURCE: (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth); (www.emedicinehealth.com)
TREATMENT: The best method to treat a hernia is surgery. Hernias grow, and they usually do not go away on their own. Surgery will relieve discomfort. Also, if the hernia is not treated, there is a risk of tissue getting stuck or trapped in the weak area (called incarceration). This tissue may die off if it remains incarcerated for too long.
Often, a piece of plastic mesh is surgically placed to repair the defect in the abdominal wall. SOURCE: (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth)
PREVENTION: Steering clear of putting too much pressure on the abdominal wall may help to prevent hernias. Ways to this are: losing weight; eating more fiber and drinking adequate amounts of fluids to limit constipations; and using proper lifting techniques when picking up objects.

Watch: Alton's Video Tour of the Cutthroat Kitchen Setby Maria Russo in Shows, December 13th, 2013
Just in time for this Sunday's Season 2 premiere of Cutthroat Kitchen, Alton Brown is giving fans an insider's look at the set where all of the competition goes down. No one knows the kitchen quite like Alton, the host of the show and the shameless deliverer of evil sabotages, so he's the ultimate tour guide. Showing off the infamous pantry, where chefs have just 60 seconds to shop, revealing what's behind closed doors in the refrigerator, and taking fans behind the stoves and prep tables to see where the competitors face off, Alton's keeping nothing secret — he's even revealing little-known tidbits about the set, including the dumbwaiter, which reveals each round's sabotages.
Click the play button on the video above to watch Alton's behind-the-scenes tour of Cutthroat Kitchen, and learn insider facts about the set. Then tune in Sunday at 10pm/9c to watch Alton and four all-new chefs on the Season 2 premiere of Cutthroat Kitchen.

We love watching Alton Brown in any show. We ABSOLUTELY LOVED SEEING PAULA DEEN TODAY on the All Star Cookie Show. Food Network just isn't the same without her. All of us have made mistakes and suffered the consequences. We all deserve a 2nd chance and forgiveness. Food Networks execs, have you ever done something you wish you hadn't??? … Think about it.
Alton Brown is a superior chef and personality. This show is poor and should be embarrassing to the whole network. Sabotage is not a virtue and one that seems to be held in esteem here. Please give some social consideration before planning your NEXT great adventure. This one is a FLOP. Disgust, rather than interest, is the feeling that leads to changing channels.
