BILLINGS - Billings School Board moves forward on plans to fix up schools at a great deal. Billings School District Two has qualified for $5.8 million in federal bonds called Qualified Zone Academy Bonds.
If the school board and voters approve the bonds, district taxpayers would pay 27 cents for every dollar.
Monday night, board trustees discussed how they would spend the money and district officials outlined some of the schools that are in need of renovations and new roofs.
Chair Teresa Stroebe says the bonds are a great deal and would help fix up a handful of schools.
"It's an amazing thing for us to get and we don't lose any money. It's over $5.5 million and we already have projects to keep the schools warm dry and safe," said Teresa Stroebe, Billings School Board Chair.
Additionally, the board talked about plans to change board and committee structures. Trustees also began looking at the technology it will use to help create updated reboundary lines.

Great Helmet and Great Customer Service
I just received my K3 and I absolutely love it. The graphics are even sharper in person and the helmet really looks sharp. The fit is a bit snug but it feels comfortable.

Editor's Note: Check back on Tuesday, Feb. 28 for Hank's followup story with more information on how to clean Norovirus from your home.
Hank Silverberg, wtop.com
FAIRFAX, Va. - Willow Springs Elementary School was scoured with bleach and other cleaners over the weekend due to a virus, which could be a particularly nasty stomach illness, that kept dozens of students and staff at home Monday.
Roughly 100 students and staff were first sent home on Friday from the Fairfax County public school following the spread of what experts believe could be Norovirus. The Centers for Disease Control says the virus is "highly contagious," and causes nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, among other symptoms.
Anyone can catch the virus, the CDC says, and youth, seniors and those who are already ill are particularly vulnerable to contracting it and suffering from severe dehydration.
These kinds of viral illnesses are easily spread through contact with someone who has it or with a surface that been touched by someone who is sick, says Dr Peter Troell, an epidemiologist from the Fairfax County Heath Department.
Frequent handwashing and using hand sanitizer are the best ways to prevent the illness, says Troell.
Washing surfaces at home can also prevent spread of the disease, he says, though that may not be practical after contracting the illness. The CDC adds food servers are "a particular risk" because they handle food and drinks consumed by others.
Those who are sick should go home and stay there, Troell says. It can last 24 hours to 48 hours, but it can take another 24 hours after feeling fully recovered before those with Norovirus are no longer contagious.
"If you are sick on Thursday you really shouldn't go to work on Friday, stay at home for the weekend and relax," says Troell.
Despite the illness at Willow Springs and a similar outbreak at George Washington University last week, school officials say attendance has been about normal in area school systems in the last few weeks.

"The storm had grown to a vertical rain of bullets. I was afraid to go on."You're out for the count. You exhausted your last life or last ounce of energy and your character is done. Game Over, dude. Have a Nice Death! No problem, you'll just continue and try again, right? Not quite! The challenge is beefed up even more and the game is even harder than it was before you were defeated, whether it is starting without power ups or the like. This trope usually applies to games that use a health bar system or life count. If this gets bad enough, the only way to beat the game might be to start all over and do it without a game over. Despite the high cost, this is still an example of Death Is Cheap in games where loss equals death, since it means that returning from the dead is nearly guaranteed despite its disadvantages. The opposite of Death Is a Slap on the Wrist. Contrast Anti-Frustration Features, where dying makes the game lower the difficulty for you. If continuing takes you back to a much earlier part of the level or game, that's Checkpoint Starvation. This trope is a frequent cause of an Unstable Equilibrium, since it's a mechanic that inherently makes the game progressively harder when you're already doing badly.

Grand Hotel (1932)
Although seen as a classic, it really took me a while to get into this slower than normal pace that I'm used to for classic films. It was the diversity of the characters that kept me from pressing the eject button on my player. Seeing for the first time Greta Garbo on film, sharing the bill with a string of top MGM stars of the time, all very young at the time. Clearly seeing the friendly and wise Lionel Barrymore playing opposite his brother John Barrymore. Garbo was absorbed in her own world of ballet and the life-style she chose to keep of seclusion.
At the other side of the hotel we have a young Joan Crawford who nearly stole the show from her female colleague, I feel on balance they both have their qualities, Crawford, her youth and sexuality, whilst the beauty and allusive pouting of Garbo finds them level overall.
There's a small indication of the possibility of serial dramas could evolve from film. I'm reminded of Hotel Babylon that had a regular cast and a host of guest stars in exaggerated situations. Even the supporting cast are made to feel a part of the hotel in their minor roles, as they are the only constant in that world, so need to be fleshed out enough to work on-screen.

It is an interesting movie — it reminds me of the types of films made today where the studio invests a lot of money in production and an all-star cast…and then it doesn't amount to much. Too many egos and special-interests!

Sonequa Martin-Green Cast on Once Upon a Timeby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Sonequa Martin-Green has landed a mysterious role on Once Upon a Time.
The actress (Army Wives, The Good Wife, The Walking Dead) will come on board some time in 2013 as a character named Tamara and... that's all we really know at the moment.
But an ABC casting call described Tamara as "artistic, relaxed, friendly, charming and smart," as well as a fearless leader who is determined to get what she wants.
Look for Martin-Green to debut on Episode 15 and for Once Upon a Time Season 2 to return with new episodes on Sunday, January 6,

I thought Jasmine too - the moment I saw her picture lol. Also her description sounds kind of like jasmine as well. Determined, fearless, artistic, smart, charming...
same here JT
My first thought was Princess Jasmine.
Tatiana from The Princess and the Frog?

Dr. Huffman's interests focus on programs to improve infant and young child feeding and maternal nutritional status in developing countries. Her emphasis is on translation of research into policy, dissemination of recent advancements to enhance programs and policies, testing of indicators to assess infant feeding and child development, technical support to improve program effectiveness, and program evaluation. She is interested in expanding program impact and reach by working with the private sector in developing countries. Of particular concern is the development of guidelines for fortified complementary foods and supplements for infants and young children, expansion of nutrition programs for pregnant and lactating women beyond iron and folic acid supplementation, and linking programs to enhance early child development with nutrition interventions.

Will be so much happier not living with my psycho housemate/dealer. Haha… erm dreading telling her that I'm leaving. I think she will be happy but the last month will be pretty awkward. Once I'm through that though I'll have my own place! And probably a lot more goals about not using electricity and saving money as it is kind of out of my price range :S But not thinking about that now :)

Last weekend, PBS NewsHour Weekend Edition aired a feature story on Oceana's campaign to end drift gillnet use off California. This commercial fishery sets out mile-long nets at dusk to catch swordfish and thresher sharks, but these nets also capture an abundance of other marine wildlife—including whales, dolphins, sea lions, sharks, and other ecologically and economically important fish. In fact, the fishery throws overboard 61 percent of everything it catches.*
While lax catch limits for federally-managed west coast forage fish like sardines continue to be a source of major concern, the state of California announced today that, at least for state-regulated forage fisheries like squid and herring, it would embrace a new ecosystem-based management system, with an eye towards sustainability.
Forage fish may not be as charismatic as sharks or as majestic as blue whales, but, these small, nutrient rich species -- like squid and herring-- have finally received their long-awaited turn in the spotlight.
Forage fish pack a punch of nutrients to whales, dolphins, sea birds, and recreationally and commercially important fish. They are critical to the survival of our magnificent blue whales as well as the recovery of depleted Chinook salmon. However, until now, these little fish have not been managed in a way that accounts for the vital role they play in ocean health and ocean economics. This will change as the California Fish and Game Commission will now make their decisions on how to manage all the state's forage species based on a set of principles that were fleshed out with input from conservation and fishing entities.
Did you know that the brown pelican relies on northern anchovy for food? Or that the endangered blue whale feeds exclusively on tiny krill at rates of up to 4,000 pounds per day? Or that a record number of young sea lions were stranded on California beaches last year because they didn't have enough small fish to eat?
Individually they don't look like much, but small fish and invertebrates called "forage species" school up to form massive underwater bait balls.
These forage fish are the foundation of the marine food web and provide food for nearly everything else higher up the food ladder. Forage species, such as Pacific herring, Pacific sardine, anchovy, smelts, squid and krill are the critical prey for whales, dolphins, sea lions, many types of fish, and millions of seabirds.
Our new report, "Forage Fish: Feeding the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem," shows the value of forage fish for fisheries and wildlife – and demonstrates that it's high time that our fisheries managers recognize their big impact in the ocean.
How many forage fish are needed to feed our ocean's wildlife and preserve the benefits forage species provide us? That is the question we are asking managers to answer and take into account when setting catch quotas.
As consumers we enjoy forage fish without even realizing it. Activities, such as whale watching, enjoying fresh wild salmon for dinner, and going sport fishing, are all possible because those top predators survive on forage fish. And they are important for the economy, too -- tourism, recreation activities, and fishing brought in over $23 billion in GDP to California, Oregon, and Washington combined in 2004 alone.
Oceana is the first conservation group to assess the current status of Pacific forage fish. Our new report details the role of forage species in the California Current marine ecosystem, the threats to forage species populations, and the flawed management structures currently in place. The report documents the large gaps in stock information and show the fisheries mismanagement taking place at multiple levels of state, federal and international government.
Providing and maintaining a healthy, sustainable ocean ecosystem does not mean shutting down existing fisheries—but it does call for change. The challenge is to extend the principles in our new report to create a new way of managing our resources that goes beyond single-species management, and considers the role of forage species within the ecosystem as a whole.
By highlighting the colossal importance of these tiny forage species, Oceana aims to ensure a healthy, diverse, productive, and resilient California Current marine ecosystem. Be sure to check out the full report and let us know what you think!
Do you want the good news or the bad news first? Let's start with the bad:
In a new report released this week, the International Programme on the State of the Ocean (IPSO) warns that ocean life is "at high risk of entering a phase of extinction of marine species unprecedented in human history".
The preliminary report from IPSO is the result of the first-ever interdisciplinary international workshop examining the combined impact of all of the stressors currently affecting the oceans, including pollution, warming, ocean acidification, overfishing and hypoxia.
It turns out that the confluence of overfishing, pollution and climate change is worse than previously thought, as Oceana's Senior Vice President and Chief Scientist Mike Hirshfield explains to CBS News in this clip:
OK, now for the good news: Juliet Eilperin reports that despite all the aforementioned threats facing the oceans, some areas still teem with life, such as the eastern Pacific's California Current.

The truth about digital offshoring
BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India and China) are the buzz word in business for good reason. In the good news for us small entrepreneurs is that access is no longer limited big players. The internet has made it possible to have a global work force from launch date, and the same cost advantages that multinationals have had since they started exporting labour to China and other parts of Asia since the 1960's. Anyone can do it now.
Before you worry about the ethics of 'off shoring' there's some stuff we should know. Exporting labour overseas is ethically sound. It is beneficial both to the recipients and the providers of such work (us). The average computer programmer earns around $1000 a month in India. In the USA and Australia it's more like $7000 a month. Unethical? Not really. The $1000 a month versus the average in India of $85 gives new information workers in India and very high standard of living.
When we inject money into developing economies we are increasing the living standards not just for our employees, but for their economy in general. In addition we have the option to pay them above market rates to create strong loyalty. We have the option treat our people well and create important cultural exchanges and relationships.
Other peoples time is what we must leverage for startup success. A simple business fact time immemorial. Only now we have both currency advantage and access. The issue of moving jobs overseas is a crock. We live in a global age, an internet economy. We all buy goods everyday from overseas. Geographical barriers simply wont exist shortly. So we should just get on board. Protectionist attitudes are outdated. No one is sending kids down mines with digital offshoring. If local people are getting put out of jobs, then they've been earning too much for what they've been doing anyway. Their outplacement is inevitable.
Startup Blog says:
Irrational Complexity
I just got back from the gym, and tonight I saw what I see every time I go for a workout. A very out of shape person doing some kind of ridiculously complex exercise for a particular body part. Which any experienced trainer will know is clearly a waste of time.
The reality of weight training is that the entire body can be trained incredibly well with 5 simple exercises:
Bench press
Chin ups
Shoulder press
Everything else really is only for the hardcore and professional sports people. Problem is this truth doesn't sell books, personal training sessions or gym memberships at locations which look like a NASA astronaut training facility. Success in gym programs is more about eating well and doing simple exercises which well executed with good frequency.
There is actually an important human psychology associated with such behaviour in the gym. We think there is some kind of secret formula. That success is associated with a complex algorithm which we must try and find, unlock and use. That success in the gym is rare because it is difficult to know how to do it. That when we find these special trick techniques, our success will come much quicker. That we'll be transformed overnight.
As humans in the 21st century we have a preference for irrational complexity. We know the truth, but we'd rather pretend it isn't so. We've been so shaped by the media and a lack of hands on experience that we often believe success is hidden behind secret walls. And so we look for get fit quick schemes (Get rich quick scheme anyone?) rather than a get fit slow routine, which requires a consistent diet and a lot of sweat.
It's pretty much the same in startup land. There aren't great deal of tricks out there either. The formula is hard work, a lot of sweat, serving customers well and using the age old business maxims which were written about by Adam Smith over 200 years ago.

2. Affirmative action. The State of New Jersey does not decimated just because of Race, Creed or Color but also ability. We have a lot of Flying Monkeys working at the BON. you can not call them. No one answers because they don't know what a telephone is anyway. E-mail that's a good idea. They keep looking at the mail box out side of the building. I'm still waiting for and answer from an email I sent them two years ago When you sent your application in, that means that Bobo had to get off of his tire, signal for Zippy to stop dance for the organ grinder and process your license. It's hard for Zippy. He only knows two words,"Sun Good"
Zippy should send you your NJ License in four to eight weeks.

In today's market, there are at least five types of baby carriers that you can choose from, and these all come in different designs that can suit any kind of preference. For mothers and fathers looking to start babywearing, the first step should always be to gather some information, and know about the concept and different advantages and disadvantages that can be had by different kinds of baby carriers as well as a clear understand of what's the best baby carrier for toddlers.
The mei tai is an Asian-style carrier that works sort of like a back pack, with straps connected to the corners of a large rectangular fabric or cloth which holds the baby in place. These straps are tied together over both shoulders to allow the baby to be snuggled close to you. One of the easiest carriers to learn using, the mei tai can be used as a frontal carrier, or a back carrier.
To know if the mei tai is the baby carrier that suits your needs and preference, let's take a quick look at the pros and cons that this type of carrier offers.
1. Distributes weight over both shoulders, making them ideal for people with back problems.
2. Allows the mother to nurse her child hands-free.
3. Flexibility to use it as a front carrier or a back carrier.
4. Adjustable straps that can be tied to preference for maximum security.
5. Can be used for newborns and toddlers.
1. Not really ideal for newborn hands-free breastfeeding/nursing.
2. Has long straps that drag on the ground when tying them together.
3. Not the most ideal carrier for newborns or small babies as they tend to slouch in a ball in the carrier, causing issues for the spine.
4. Does not work well with side-carries.
5. May not be suitable for use in muddy places due to its long straps
Understandably, the mei tai may need some time for first-time babywearers to get used to, but that also applies to some other types of baby carriers. While the mei tai may not be as easy to put on compared to the basic wrap, its adjustability and the stability that it provides to the wearer are both key points that definitely provide that plus factor. With its two-shoulder straps, this baby carrier is ideal for use with babies starting from their newborn to the toddler phase.

UConn Foundation Financial Statement for 2014 (PDF)
The Foundation was founded in 1964 at the behest of Homer Daniels Babbidge, Jr., who served as University president from 1962 to 1972.
"Babbidge saw the need to build new institutions that would enhance the university community and led the move for the establishment of the University of Connecticut Foundation. Babbidge instinctively recognized that public universities would always have great difficulty in attracting the kind of resources from the state that were required to achieve true distinction." (Bruce M. Stave, Red Brick in the Land of Steady Habits: Creating the University of Connecticut, 1881-2006, Lebanon, New Hampshire: University Press of New England, 2006), 112-113.
The Foundation's financial statements are audited annually by a national accounting firm, and University officials and state auditors receive copies of these audited statements. The Foundation publishes an annual report that summarizes annual results, although detailed information about specific gifts to the Foundation are not generally available.
A copy of the Foundation's bylaws and articles of incorporation are also available upon request.

We rode up at Tokul East today and I got video of what Flowtron currently looks like.
It follows pretty much the same route it always has, but it has changed a bit. The crew out there have been working hard to get it riding good and have added some new "features". There is now a step up on the 7th switchback which isnt difficult but it is a lot of fun. A big drop looks to be instore for switchback #9 (I hope!) , there is a drop on 12 and 13, and a grand total of 19 switchbacks by my count.

The zip lines and ropes course at Camp Ledgewood in Peninsula are currently under construction.
We anticipate the zip Lines and high ropes course will be open at Camp Ledgewood by early fall of 2014.
According to a new study by the Girl Scout Research Institute (GSRI), More Than S'mores (2014), girls benefit immensely from time spent outdoors. Girls who regularly spend time outdoors eclipse their peers who spend less time outdoors in attention and involvement in environmental stewardship, are more likely to seek challenges, and be better problem solvers—all important traits in twenty-first century leadership. Staff and volunteer training has begun on the zip line and challenge course so if you have an interest in being involved as a volunteer trainer in this exciting new Girl Scout adventure please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Stay tuned for more information!

- Ambitious people get the opportunity try interesting thingsCons
- Inability to focus on what makes the IP good and push the quality on those features and maintain them between sequels.
- Base of tech is terrible, making it difficult for quality software engineers and technical artists to provide support and quality tools. Tech is basically a house of cards, make one small change and the whole thing could break.
- Low paying, bonuses are small and always come with an excuse.
- Terrible (and notorious) overtime with a joke amount of comp-time at the end of a cycle.
- Executives are self-serving, and only concerned with what gets them ahead
- Suck ups and game-players are rewarded rather than hard workers, making for an environment where people step on others to get ahead and create a lot of animosity within teams.Advice to ManagementAdvice
- Recognize who key contributors are and focus on keeping them happy rather than just keeping the peace. If someone is screwing up -- do something about it. Don't allow for complacency and crap-quality.
- Remember who actually makes the game and keeps you in a job. It seems that is lost on a lot of upper management.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEO

Acer Netbook Aspire One 521 W7 PRO works fine
Hi there
I finally got to buy a small 10.1 in Acer Aspire One 521 Netbook.
Got rid of the W7 Starter edition on it plus all the Crap / Trial / bloatware that usually gets pre-installed on Store purchased machines (The AMD V105 processor has a bit more "oompf" than the usual Intel Atom processors that Netbooks are generally fitted with) and proceeded with a Windows Professional install.
Machine works FINE with Windows Professional W7 x-86 -- although remember to load the BROADCOM Wireless LAN driver BEFORE wiping the old software off your disk or you will have trouble connecting to the Internet.
Running Office 2010 , Photoshop CS5 and IE9 on it. All work fine.
While running photoshop on a 1GB netbook is not normally good to do for long periods it DOES work.
Very happy with this EXTREMLY portable netbook -- only cost me around 220 EUR too.
Its just the ticket for taking on Planes, and trains these days and fits easily into a backpack with your other hand luggage items.
I'd definitely recommend this type of computer for travellers -- of coursse it wont replace a fully specced Laptop or desktop but can be used when you don't need to run loads of VM's etc on a machine.
|My System Specs
|02 Oct 2010
My wife and I like her little Acer Aspire One. I am thinking about installing Win 7 on it; it currently has XP. It is very hand for travel, especially on the motorcycles.
|My System Specs
|02 Oct 2010
Hi there
Looks quite rugged too -- but "dropping" small sensitive computers from fast moving Bikes is probably not a good idea. Should be fine if properly packed however.
BTW Full AERO effects work fine too. Graphics actually gives a score of 4.9, the HDD 5.3.
The weakest link of course in these types of computers is the processor -- even so it still gave a 2.5 calculations / sec subscore.
Note also that this machine also has full HDMI output so you can play full HD on your nice large LCD TV too.
Perfectly satisfactory for this type of machine for around a 220 EUR pricetag --no complaints.
|My System Specs

You did very well. We have a nice heavily padded case for it and we carry it in the saddle bag or in the sidecar's trunk.

windows 7 professional
I picked up the Acer 521 in the summer and it is both my media server and my tag along PC (on our tandem bicycle). Upgraded the memory with a 4gb stick and loaded Windows 7 Professional and Windows 2010 Office Professional. Thanks for the student discounts. It also isn't half bad with gaming on the widescreed HDTV (Left4Dead) is a hoot.
But it is a very versatile netbook and has gone fishing with the family and recorded my son cleaning and filleting a 1 kilo small mouth bass for supper at the cottage. Dropped the scaling knife on the screen and now have a dueler's scar in the top left corner. I also video skype with my daughter in Hawaii and it's fun taking the 521 around the house showing her the changes we made while away.

Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University (also known as Embry-Riddle or ERAU) is a non-profit private university in the United States, with residential campuses in Daytona Beach, Florida and Prescott, Arizona, and a "Worldwide Campus" comprised of global learning locations as well as Web-based distance learning, the latter designed for working civilians and deployed military personnel.[5] Called "The Harvard of the Sky" by Time Magazine in 1979,[6] Embry–Riddle's foundations go back to the early years of flight, and the University now awards associate's, bachelor's, master's, and doctorate degrees in various disciplines, including aviation, aerospace engineering, business, and science. For 2014, U.S. New & World Report awarded Embry-Riddle several high rankings, including #11 Best Regional (Southern) University (out of 122), as well as #1 Best College for Veterans in the same region.[7]
The seed that would become Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University was planted on December 17, 1925 (exactly 22 years after the Wright Brothers' first flight), when Talton Higbee Embry and John Paul Riddle formed an aircraft dealership named the Embry-Riddle Company at Lunken Airport in Cincinnati, Ohio. Embry was a wealthy aviation enthusiast who financed the venture and served as the company's president. In 1926 (the date shown on the university seal), the company opened the Embry-Riddle Flying School, which grew rapidly. On December 17, 1927, the company established Cincinnati's first regular airmail service, running to Chicago.[8] In 1929, the newly formed Embry-Riddle Aviation Corporation sold a controlling stake in itself to Aviation Corporation (AVCO), which phased out the Embry-Riddle Flying School in the fall of 1930.[9] Shortly after, AVCO became American Airways (the predecessor of American Airlines), and by 1932, the Embry-Riddle Company was gone.[10]
In 1939 Riddle contacted Embry with a view to getting back into training pilots, but Embry was not interested. Riddle, now living in Miami, Florida, found a partner in John G. McKay and his wife Isabel. Keeping the Embry-Riddle name, they re-established the Embry-Riddle School of Aviation, partnering with the University of Miami to provide flight training under the Civilian Pilot Training Program, increasing the number of pilots immediately preceding World War II. The Embry-Riddle School of Aviation expanded rapidly, and soon moved to the former Fritz Hotel.[11]
Riddle and McKay also formed the Riddle Aeronautical Institute at Carlstrom Field, in early 1941 for the purpose of training pilots for the United States Army Air Corps (the U.S. Air Force did not yet exist). A separate division of Embry-Riddle provided technical training in maintenance and metal work. Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Embry-Riddle and its various divisions expanded rapidly to train aviators during the war, and the Carlstrom Field facility trained pilots for the Royal Air Force, while nearby Dorr Field prepared pilots for advanced training with the U.S. Army Air Forces.[11]
Embry-Riddle quickly exhausted the market for flight training. In late 1943 Brazil's Air Minister requested Embry-Riddle establish a flight school in São Paulo, Brazil, to provide Brazilian cadets with technical instruction. By early 1944, Escola Técnica de Aviação had been established and provided basic, aircraft, engines, and instrument departments. In 1944 McKay purchased Riddle's share of Embry-Riddle as Riddle chose to remain in Brazil.[11]
Following the end of World War II, the McKays continued the business of training pilots. After John McKay's death in 1951, his wife Isabel McKay led the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical Institute. The school endured financial hardship, but continued to operate in Miami. Isabel McKay suffered a stroke in 1961, and in 1963 sold the school. That same year, Jack R. Hunt was named the first president of the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical Institute.[12] ERAI continued the training of pilots and mechanics in Miami until April 1965, when Hunt moved the campus to its current home in Daytona Beach, Florida.[1]
Embry-Riddle's move from Miami was carried out with money and trucks borrowed from a group of Volusia County civic leaders known as the Committee of 100.[13] The school was packed into trucks and moved nearly overnight. Known as "Operation Bootstrap", the move was accomplished with the help of the Daytona Beach News-Journal, which supplied the trucks.
The Embry-Riddle Aeronautical Institute was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 1968[14] and was renamed Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University in 1970.[15]
Hunt headed a large expansion of Embry-Riddle, including the purchase of a second campus in Prescott, Arizona, in 1978.[16] Embry-Riddle purchased the former campus of Prescott College, which closed abruptly in 1974 from financial hardship.[17] Hunt served as president until his death on January 7, 1984.[18] Hunt was followed by Lt. General Kenneth L. Tallman, who, in his five years as president, formed Embry-Riddle's first graduate program. Tallman also added undergraduate degrees in Engineering Physics and Electrical Engineering.[15]
Embry-Riddle's third president was Steven M. Sliwa, who presided over the university from 1991 until 1998. Sliwa oversaw the largest expansion in Embry-Riddle's history, according to the ERAU website developing new majors and a capital expansion in excess of US$100 million.[1] This included the ICI Center (fieldhouse), Lehman Engineering and Technology Center, Capt. Willie Miller Instructional Center and Student Village on the Daytona Beach campus. Sliwa was followed by George H. Ebbs, who served as president until November 2005.
Ebbs expanded the university into several affiliate programs and was president during the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center buildings and the Pentagon. Following the attacks, federal investigators thought that the school might have trained at least one of the aircraft hijackers, but after a short investigation it was found that ERAU had no involvement in the flight training of the terrorists. A former student who had the same name as one of the hijackers was found to have no connections to Al-Qaeda.[19][20][21]
During his tenure as president, Ebbs expanded Embry-Riddle into non-traditional university projects, such as Embry-Riddle's Commercial Airline Pilot Training program (CAPT program), which was sold in 2006.[22] Ebbs also entered the university into a five-year contract with The United States Air Force Academy for Embry-Riddle to provide flight training for its cadets in 2002.[23]
In 2006 John P. Johnson, previously University Provost and Interim President, became Embry-Riddle's fifth president.[24]
The university is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award degrees at both residential campuses as well as through Embry-Riddle Worldwide at the associate, bachelor, master, and doctoral levels.[14] The engineering programs are fully recognized by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).[25] Programs in Aviation Maintenance, Air Traffic Management, Applied Meteorology, Aeronautical Science, Aerospace & Occupational Safety, Flight Operations, and Airport Management are all accredited by the Aviation Accreditation Board International (AABI).[26] The bachelor degree programs in Business Administration and the M.B.A. in Aviation program are accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).[27] The programs in Aeronautics, Air Traffic Management, Applied Meteorology, and Aerospace Studies are certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).[28]
Embry-Riddle's largest residential campus (185-acre (0.75 km2)) and academic headquarters has been in Daytona Beach, Florida since the move from Miami in 1965. Built adjacent to the Daytona Beach International Airport, the campus is connected to an aircraft ramp owned by the university for flight training. The main campus consists of an aviation complex, academic quad and residence halls surrounding the student center and Jack R. Hunt Aviator Park. Athletic facilities and the ICI Center are at the east end of campus.
Total fall 2010 enrollment at the Daytona Beach campus was 5,089: 4,496 undergraduate and 593 graduate students.[4] Aeronautical science (flight training) and aerospace engineering are the two most popular degrees at the Daytona Beach campus. Daytona Beach's aerospace engineering degree program is the largest in the nation[citation needed].
Embry-Riddle's Daytona Beach campus has one of the most extensive Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) programs in the United States and the nation's largest Air Force ROTC program.[29] The ROTC program frequently wins national competitions.[30][31][32] The engineering physics program at the Daytona Beach campus is currently the largest undergraduate engineering physics program in the country and the only one specializing in aerospace.[33]
The Daytona Beach campus sponsors 16 intercollegiate sports. The Eagles are members of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics and compete in The Sun Conference. Embry-Riddle's athletics are directed by basketball head-coach Steve Ridder. On October 2, 2006, Ridder was named NAIA National Athletic Director of the Year.[34] Ridder led the school to its first national title in any sport in 2000, in basketball. In 2013, the men's tennis team won their first national title. In addition to the two team national titles, the eagles have many individual national champions. Since 2005, 4 women and 2 men have won individual national titles in track and field, as well as 3 men for tennis. Many of the individuals were 2 and 3 time repeat champions. Additionally, 1 women's and 2 men's tennis duos have won national doubles championships. In all, the eagle's have won 20 individual/doubles national titles from 2005 to 2013.[35]
Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University-Prescott opened in 1978. The University's campus in Prescott, Arizona, is 100 miles north of Phoenix. The campus has an enrollment of about 1,850 students and covers 539 acres. The flight training center is at nearby Prescott Love Field Municipal Airport.
Facilities at the Prescott Campus include the Aerospace Experimentation and Fabrication Building, a wind tunnel lab with one supersonic and four subsonic wind tunnels, the aviation safety center with an accident investigation lab, library, the 48,000 sq ft. academic complex, the engineering and technology center, chapel, dining hall, student union and residence halls.
Total fall 2013 student enrollment at the Prescott campus was 1,800 students, including 51 graduate students.
The Prescott campus offers the only Global Security and Intelligence Studies program in the US.
Embry-Riddle's two Air Force ROTC detachments form the largest university-based Air Force commissioning source in the nation. Embry-Riddle's AFROTC detachments also produce more commissioned officers, more pilots and other rated officers for the Air Force than any other institution in the nation except the Air Force Academy. Army ROTC also operates a large detachment on the Prescott Campus.[36]
The Prescott campus is home to the Golden Eagles Flight Team, which competes in the National Intercollegiate Flying Association. Prescott's Golden Eagles Flight Team has won the regional championship each year for the past 27 years and are the NIFA National Champions for the years 1993, 1997, 1999, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2012, and 2013.[37]
Embry-Riddle Worldwide campus was established in 1970 and is now a global network of more than 150 learning locations in the United States, Europe, Canada, the Middle East, and Asia,[5] including on more than 90 military bases.[38] Embry-Riddle Worldwide also provides a virtual "online campus," and U.S. News & World Report ranked Embry-Riddle #5 Best Online Bachelor's Programs (out of almost 300).[7] Facilities with aviation functions are available for students not able to attend a residential campus. Programs of study are offered at the undergraduate and graduate level (as well as certificate and non-degree), including the rare Master of Business Administration in Aviation (MBA-A),[39] ranked #70 Best Online MBA Program (out of about 250).[7] In the 2009-2010 school year 27,261 students, many serving with the U. S. Armed Forces, were enrolled in the Embry-Riddle Worldwide.[4] As of 2014, the Worldwide campus was headed by Chancellor John R. Watret, Ph.D.[40]

Out of 26 million Texans, you may have an idea to change the world. You may have had several ideas to change the world. But only a tiny minority of you pushed through the U.S. Patent office from application to successful patent. We've seen Texans change the world many times over. Jack Kilby did it with Texas Instruments in 1958 with the integrated circuit, causing the start of the digital revolution, which, in part, is why you can read these words over your electronic device.
Over the last few years, Texas Business has brought its feature: Texas Business Patent of the Day. This list is of the ones that were either extremely clever, odd or strange. One thing becomes apparent from these patents and the patent that runs daily in Texas Business—Texans have a unique mind set.
Though the history of the Corn Dog is disputed, the State Fair of Texas claims to have introduced the Corny Dog sometime between 1938 and 1942. As a paean to that invention that now sits in the freezer section of every grocery store in the southwest, here are the fried foods the State Fair of Texas has introduced, or tried to introduce, in the last seven years.
Dead Texas musicians live on every time you hear their songs. Their songs play everywhere, so the dead Texas musicians appear to be immortal. Here's the short list.
Don't get caught up with John Wayne religion. For one thing, he's not Texan. He's in some fine movies involving Texas, most notably The Searchers, but none of his movies can make the best cut of Texas movies. Here's the short list.
Tourist Traps. Some are absurdly large. All are monuments to the bizarre notions of the human spirit.
The short simple list.
Nothing to agonize over. Simply the best.
Texas Business reports: DALLAS—Republic of Texas Brands Inc.opened its Republic of Texas Food Company has opened its online store and is now taking orders at www.republicoftexas.com.
"The company store offers upscale foods and gifts with the majority being all from Texas and many made by artisans with recipes passed down from generation to generation," said chief executive Laurence Briggs in a prepared statement. "Foods such as succulent honey baked hams, Texas toffees from the Rio Grande and Houston, jalapeno smoked turkeys, peppered hams and tamales from the Texas Hill country, candied jalapenos and jalapeno jelly from the Red River valley are offered. Fresh nuts from all over the world are dry roasted in Austin. Organic first press olive oil from a 17 acre estate in Texas Hill country are also available and wonderful accompaniments to aperitifs. Beautiful Texas wines from the Texas panhandle are offered that will please the most discerning of pallets."
"The company's unique brands and logo leave no doubt that the products will be enjoyed by people with discerning and sophisticated tastes who also love the independent attitude associated with the history of the Republic of Texas," he said. "The logo that is featured on the packaging is embroidered on a merchandise line to enable clients to send unique, original Republic of Texas gifts to their friends all over the USA and the world."
The company also announced that all discussions regarding a possible acquisition of Mary of Puddin Hill and its production facility have been terminated.

Some of the stories that Texas Business currently suggests include: Texas regulators not aware of potential CFTC manipulation probe, Irving spends incentive dollars to lure two corporate headquarters and almost 2,000 jobs; Hotels, restaurant operators prep for record Final Four; Star-Telegram presses roll one last time; Robert Rodriguez breathes new life into an old vampire favorite; ClubCorp buys Prestonwood Country Club in Dallas and Plano; Office Depot overcharged Dallas by up to $3.6 million, city auditor finds; Texas power market monitor resigns amid unresolved reform debate; and more.

"This recipe is fantastic. It tastes exactly like the fondant gelato I had in Rome. If you feel it is too rich try cutting back on the cocoa. Although personally "Too rich, there is no such thing!""
"I made this recipe exactly as is except for the walnuts due to a picky eater in the house. I don't usually like to tweak until I have made something at least once. The cookies were DELICIOUS. Really can't say enough about them. They have a banana taste but it is nor overpowering and they are soft and chewy. I did bake them on my silpat as one..."
"I used Greek yogurt in place of the sugar free applesauce and I added a little extra cocoa powder. I just placed the chocoalte chips on the top so they would be like Vitatops.

The Ultimate Survival Preparedness Kit for Your Car
Whether you're planning a road trip to Dad's house or planning to drive across a remote wasteland, you want to be ready for anything. Here's our master list of items for the driver who's ready for anything.
By Phil Berg
A small backpack is probably the best carryall to keep in your kit in the event you need to leave the car and set out on foot. Even better is a larger camping backpack that has separate compartments and pockets to keep the more fragile first-aid items from your dirty tools. Some packs have hook-and-loop patches on them, which can keep them from sliding around inside the trunk area of the car. Backpacks often have loops so that you can clip rock-climbing-style carabiners on them and then attach the whole shebang securely to your carthe object is to keep your fully loaded emergency kit from becoming a heavy projectile in a crash. Bungee cords are another great tool to hold the kit and other luggage in place.

Hi everyone,
My hubby and I are very clear that we want to keep our son's name to ourselves until he is born. It seems that people, esp. my FIL do not want to respect this. He has gone so far as to give us a list of names he likes and to say that he had to say something now to have his input, and that while we are visiting we have to get this baby named.
Why would he have input? He's also not the only one who has given us a hard time. We still have 4 months to go, and while we have come up with some ideas, we still have no idea what the name will be.
Right now I just tell people we have no idea, and we'll know when the baby is born. Perhaps that just has to be my party line.
Anyone else have this issue? If so, what do you say to people? I would love some ideas before I have to spend the next 4 months defending our choice not to share!
I just say, we haven't decided yet! And then when they say, oh you should name him Johnny! Just smile and say, we'll add it to the list!
That's what we do and it's a pretty positive way to handle it, I think. I would NOT tell people that even once you decide you won't be telling--that just creates a lot of bad feelings of being left out. Good luck!
we're just telling people that we're not telling anyone the names we have chosen. Simple as that!
This is what we did with our first kiddo. Worked like a charm even though our relatives were trying to get the name out of us.
And as for the pushy FIL, he might be pushy and saying that you "have to get this baby named" simply because you're saying that you don't know yet. Maybe once you say you've chosen a name, he'll lay off.
well there is one thing for sure...you are not alone. My husband and I are going through the same exact thing! We want more than anything to keep our name we picked to our selves and everyone thinks they have the right to know and have input. but I would have to agree just plain and simple tell them you are not sharing the name and you have made your own decision! Congradulations by the way
We didn't tell anyone our daughter's name before she was born. I was really nervous about my mom's reaction (and as it turned out she still didn't handle it great!).
Anyway, we basically said "we chose her name, but we aren't telling because we really don't want to hear people's reactions" to which I got a mix of "oh but I am sure I will love it" and then a LOT of stories of how people were really rude to someone they knew about their child's name.
We just stuck to our guns and gave the baby a funny nickname until she got here!
We've already started telling people we're naming our baby Otis, regardless of the gender. We'll be telling everyone boy/girl after our u/s and want to have something to share between just us for awhile.
Don't worry about what people say when you won't tell them the name you've picked. They'll get over it because, in all honesty, they probably don't really care anyway and are just being nosy.
With my first we didn't pick a name until he was almost a day old. We told everyone throughout the pregnancy that we weren't going to name him until we'd met him. We still got "suggestions" but everyone knew we weren't going to come down one way or another on a name.
I'd tell people that's what you're doing. If you don't have a name picked (as far as they know), how can you tell them? Just stay firm. I'm glad we did. It took a lot of the pressure off.
We have a name picked for our baby and we aren?t telling anyone the name until she?s here. When we?re asked if we?ve picked a name or have thought of any names, we were telling people that we?re trying to narrow it down or we have a couple of names picked & we?ll know which name we want once we see her. As of last night, we started telling people that we do have a name for our daughter & that everyone will know it after she?s born.
Last night at a family dinner MIL asked if we've picked a name yet (she?s been asking this more frequently); we told her we?ve narrowed it down to a few & we?re still thinking about it. She said ?oh, you have a name picked, you just aren?t telling.? DH told her ?You?re right. We do have a name for the baby, but we aren?t telling anyone the name until she?s born.? MIL made a face. BIL reminded her that he & his wife didn?t tell anyone the names of their kids until after they were born and no one made a big deal about it. BIL then pointed out that we?ve already told everyone the baby is a girl & we didn?t have to do that, so people should be ok with knowing that much.
With my first we didn't pick a name until he was almost a day old. We told everyone throughout the pregnancy that we weren't going to name him until we'd met him. We still got "suggestions" but everyone knew we weren't going to come down one way or another on a name.
I'd tell people that's what you're doing. If you don't have a name picked (as far as they know), how can you tell them? Just stay firm. I'm glad we did. It took a lot of the pressure off.
this is exactly what we did too. i didn't let people's name suggestions bother me.
We kept our boy/girl options a secret for #1 and we will this time too - I'm sure it bugged some people, but it wasn't up for discussion. We did not want to hear stories others have attached to names.
My mom gives me ideas all of the time and I don't mind, I kind of like it (we haven't picked names yet), two of her options are on my list, but I didn't even acknowledge that to her.
GL - it's your baby, ignore everyone else
We are doing the same, just tell everyone that you aren't sharing the names. I also tell them, if they continue to press, that choosing a name that we agree upon is hard enough for DH and I, and when sharing the possible names of your LO people let you know their opinions some of which might not be helpful to the process. So you'll know baby's name when baby is born! Until then you may call baby "Munchkin"
Btw: My MIL has also offered up her suggestions, I said, "I like those names (because I do)" and that's it. Other suggestions have simply gotten a "Thank you" and a smile.
We did share our name choices but I wanted some feedback from others. We did get both positive and negative from people but we're sticking with our picks. As of now we're down to two name choices and I'm sure there are feelings about which name we should pick but it's our choice.
As far as your FIL goes I'd remind him that he already had a chance to name a baby and now it's your turn.
This is what my husband and I have decided to do as well, but as of yet the family really doesn't know that we aren't going to tell them.They'll get to know the sex, nothing else. I'm am in agreement that even the sex isn't any kind of obligatory info to share, so that's where the info will end- and at least they are getting that.
I really like the 'we would like to meet him/her first before we settle on a name' suggestion and I will try that one first. We're not going to be telling people our ideas either. It's not a community naming session. If I did want their input and/or opinion, I know where to find them to get it.
Stories like this, much like the wedding horror stories that you hear, really bother me! These are all people that have had their own kids to name, their own pregnancy and birth experiences etc- why on earth do they think they get to be that involved in someone elses? People never cease to amaze me- especially when it's stuff like this that they should know is inappropriate, interfering behavior and basic civil respect! (Notice I did not say 'common sense'- I work in law enforcement and am made aware daily that such a thing has not actually existed since at least 8 decades ago.)
Stay strong and if the 'niceities' of explaining this doesn't work, use the harsher and more frank statements about it.
I'll see how my own planned advise goes in the handful of weeks!
