Enterprise Resource Planning | News
The DeSoto Independent School District in north Texas has announced board approval to upgrade its current management technology to a centralized enterprise resource planning (ERP) and student information system (SIS) that integrates administrative and student data district-wide.
For the project, the district chose Prologic Technology Systems' Total Education Administrative Management Solution (TEAMS) ERP and SIS to link the district's financial, human resource, and student data into a single, centralized database.
The Web-based system provides a streamlined approach to data management, simplifying collaboration between teachers, students, administrators, and parents. Real-time data integration allows authorized users immediate access to student information, such as attendance records, assignments, and grades.
To help districts keep track of employment vacancies, TEAMS includes a position control system that tracks positions for all jobs within the district.
Key system functions include:
"The decision to go with TEAMS ERP & SIS really came down to three things…a single relational database linking business and student data, the comfort level we have working with Prologic's people, and the price," said DeSoto ISD CFO Bobby LaBorde, in a prepared statement. "Their student information system also weighed heavily in our decision. TEAMS gives us enhanced student reporting capabilities, more failsafe triggers and the added bonus of a system that is already integrated with the state's dashboard."
DeSoto Independent School District is a suburban district outside of Dallas that serves the communities of DeSoto, Glenn Heights, and Ovilla. About 9,000 students are enrolled in the district's seven elementary schools, three middle schools, and two high schools. DeSoto ISD's operating budget for 2012-2013 is estimated at $61.5 million.
More information about DeSoto ISD is available at desotoisd.org. Go to ptsteams.com to learn more about TEAMS.

Live from the CUNA GAC - Day Four: CU Leaders Talk Regulatory Relief, Tax Status on Capitol Hill (Misc News: February 28, 2013)
WASHINGTON – After several days of networking, listening and learning on Wednesday, Michigan credit union leaders fanned out across Capitol Hill to visit the offices of every member of the Michigan congressional delegation.
First, the group gathered for the annual congressional breakfast at the House Rayburn Office Building hosted by MCUL & Affiliates. Congressmen Bill Huizenga, R-Zeeland, and Dan Kildee, D-Flint, both attended the event, along with staff members from the offices of several other congressmen.
MCUL & Affiliates CEO David Adams welcomed the group and spoke of the importance of the credit union difference.
"Credit union programs like Invest in America which recently reached a milestone of 500,000 vehicles sold, are helping to retool and refuel our domestic auto industry. Save to Win, our nationally recognized prize-linked savings program has made huge strides toward reaching people with modest means and helping turn them into savers."
Adams also presented the MCUL Federal Lawmaker of the Year Award to Rep. Sander Levin, which was accepted by a member of his staff, and the Federal Staffer of the Year Award to Marliss McManus, who works in the office of Rep. Huizenga.
"We're thankful to both Congressman Levin and to Marliss for their hard work and dedication," Adams said.
From there, the group split up to Hike the Hill, armed with copies of the MCUL Community Reinvestment Report, which was delivered to every Michigan lawmaker.
The main issues discussed with lawmakers include the preservation of the credit union tax status, legislation to raise the cap on member business lending, and other regulatory relief measures.
"I work in a compliance department and I think it's so important that our lawmakers hear from those of us in the trenches that what they do is directly impacting us," said Chrissy Siders, vice president of risk management for CP FCU in Jackson.
"I'd really like to see the business lending cap raised," said Rob Mercier, Vice President of growth and development at Public Service CU. "We're at a time when we're getting close to bumping up against that cap."
Rep. Huizenga had good news for the group, as he announced his intention to again sign on to the MBL legislation, which was recently reintroduced in the House.
Later in the day, 6 Michigan credit unions were honored for their innovative programs which won a total of seven national awards at a special ceremony for the Dora Maxwell, Louise Herring, and Alphonse Desjardins awards.
The credit unions that won national awards are: Communicating Arts CU, Public Service CU, CASE CU, Michigan First CU, Credit Union ONE, and Michigan One Community CU.

12. xperiaDROID (banned) (Posts: 5629; Member since: 08 Mar 2013)
Better buy it at Samsung store, because I didn't use eBay before. Plus, Note 8.0 isn't available at eBay yet.
15. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Not yet but I'm pretty sure it'll be available on ebay before many Samsung stores over the world.
If you really can't wait, give it a try.
22. xperiaDROID (banned) (Posts: 5629; Member since: 08 Mar 2013)
I can wait!
Thanks for the advise by the way! :)

Aiming for the next generation Nexus 7, but the Note 8 is for sure a cool tab.

People say that the iPad mini is overpriced. What would you call this then?
9. oister85 (Posts: 409; Member since: 27 Apr 2012)
For the price of the note 8.0 I think is really cheap, this tablet doesn't compare with the mini in feature.
11. SleepingOz (unregistered)
iPad mini is no where near the Note 8.0 in term of features.
You can't do half of what you can do on the Note 8.0, with the iPad mini(even the ipad 4 doesn't come close).
16. bowarrow01 (Posts: 1; Member since: 07 Apr 2013)
Please tell what the note 8.0 can do that the mini can't?
Not that i am trying to bash on the note.
19. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Really?! Damn! I would've never thought that such tech illeterate still exist on PA..
Well, customization, background multitasking, real-time multitasking(multiwindow), bluetooth file transfer, side-loading apps, setting 3rd party apps as default apps, etc.. The list is too long!
20. Ninetysix (Posts: 1678; Member since: 08 Oct 2012)
I also get those with the cheaper Nexus 7 at half the price. A Jailbroken iPad mini can also do all of those. What's your point? At $520, you don't think this tablet is overpriced?
21. wendygarett (unregistered)
Compare to other stylus device, this is much more cheaper...
don't cry, just because you yourself cannot afford one :)
17. GTR722 (Posts: 241; Member since: 20 Oct 2012)
Samsung fanboys will tell everything....this Note 8 should be priced at 299$
14. InspectorGadget80 (Posts: 6729; Member since: 26 Mar 2011)
I wish I live in Europe u guys always get the goods first
23. isaiahg17 (Posts: 7; Member since: 08 Apr 2013)
Dont worry. The tablet costs $399 USD. It may be more exspensive than the ipad mini, but that is understandable since it has way more features. Besides, I think its meant to go up againts the ipad mini 2 which will probably be around the same price.

CHICAGO (AP) — Can't get rid of that paunch?
A Chicago-area gym suggests working out with your pooch.
K9 Fit Club offers bow wow boot camps and other classes for people and their puppies to exercise together in Chicago and nearby Hinsdale, Ill.
The fitness center opened last year after founder Tricia Montgomery exercised with her dog and lost 130 pounds. Montgomery says her late basset hound, named Louie, lost 22 percent of his body weight.
Fans of the gym say classes are beneficial to both man and man's best friend.
Montgomery says dogs struggle with the same weight issues that people face, including heart problems and diabetes.
People who work out at K9 Fit Club say exercising with their dogs keeps them motivated.
Classes cost about $20.

A review of the Universe Lasser DVD.
Just as 'Young and Dangerous' (part one and two and three and four and five and six) is 'Knockaround Guys'-Hong Kong style, 'The Legend of Speed' is like 'The Fast and the Furious'... Hong Kong style. It's hip, sleek and lots of fun. This is actually a sequel to 'Full Throttle', which stars Andy Lau (who is in 'God of Gamblers' (long way to go just for the link, isn't it?), 'Cat and Mouse' and literally more than 100 other movies), and which I'd be really surprised if I found (well, I saw this one, didn't I, so maybe I'll be lucky again... actually I did find it, though not on DVD, and it was a nice movie for 110 minutes). It's the story of Brother Sky, a street-racing legend, and the trouble, loss and redemption he goes through.
'The Fast and the Furious' was about the relationship between Paul Walker and Vin Diesel, with racing as a backdrop. 'The Legend of Speed' is along the same lines; it's about Ekin Cheng (Sky) and his friends, one of which is the lovely Cecilia Cheung (both were in 'The Legend of Zu' and 'Tokyo Raiders' also). Again, like 'The Fast and the Furious' the story deals with loyalty and friendship. The movie mixes in some comedy with drama, and obviously racing. There aren't as many racing scenes as in 'The Fast and the Furious' but the storyline is just as interesting, if not more so. The drama gets kind of heavy at times, but it's well done so it's never really a problem. The plot is kind of predictable at times, but that doesn't matter either. Like in 'The Fast and the Furious', the characters are real, so even if the storyline is kind of seen, the movie is still enjoyable to watch.
I can't verify this for sure, but it seems to me that 'The Fast and the Furious' took some major inspiration from this movie. I know it was based on the article 'Racer X', but some of the shots were just too close to be coincidental. The camera moving along the front of the cars at the starting line, and the NOS race shots are really close to one another.
The racing sequences in this movie are really nice. They're intense, and full of energy. The fast techno music helps add that needed intensity to the screen. The director decided to add a fun red tracer to Ekin's car at times. Just a neat touch.
In any case, director Andrew Lau ('Infernal Affairs', 'Best of the Best', 'The Flock') still keeps up with his mixing of pop culture; whereas 'Young and Dangerous' mixed in comic books, this one mixes in video games with the movie. There are some pretty neat point of view shots (the NOS shots for one), the power slides you see in video game ads are fun to watch in here, and at one point you see the street course on the screen while the cars are racing, and their position on the course. It just another imaginative touch that isn't seen in Hollywood movies.
This is a very good movie that works everywhere it tries. The story may be seen in advance, but the movie is still well done, and is still very enjoyable. It has great energy and enthusiasm. Manfred Wong (the sreenwriter/producer) and Andrew Lau have another winner here. I have yet to see a movie by these guys that I haven't enjoyed.
The trailer runs 160 seconds, but the oddest thing is that the entire first minute is devoted to production company stuff. One whole minute is a long time for that kind of thing. It's a good trailer though, expressing the mood and style of the movie perfectly. If the trailer interests you, you should like the movie.
Star Files
Ekin Cheng, Cecilia Cheung, Simon Yam, Kelly Lam, and Moses Chan all have filmographies. The problem is that they're all in Chinese, so I can't read anything.
I can just imagine this movie in surround. With two speakers, there was pretty good movement. I'm sure the cars whizzing by would be much more impressive with a subwoofer, but I'll have to make that decision after the acquisition of a new system. Sometimes the kicking score was too loud, so that the dialogue couldn't be clearly heard. That isn't much of a problem for me, because the subtitles were what I was relying on for comprehension of what was happening. Sometimes, though, I found the music wasn't loud enough, which took away some of the intensity and the energy of the scene. That might be due to an artistic decision by the director more than the lack of a good sound system, though, but I still find it a problem.
1.85:1 (I think, asiandvdguide.com says letterboxed at 1.75:1, which is really weird aspect ratio) letterbox. Even though it's not anamorphic, it's still a good transfer. The print might not have been the best in the world, so some dust and other such particles appear here and there. The colours are very nice, though – vivid and separate enough not to complain too much. I didn't notice much grain, but I was more captivated by the movie than the picture.
put up sometime in November 2002

Former New York Saints player John Salerno is among the missing of the September 11th World Trade Center Attack. Salerno played one season in the League. He was a member of the 1993 New York Saints team that made the playoffs. Before playing as a professional, Salerno played for Nassau Community College, St. Johns University, and the North Hempstead L.C.
Salerno worked for Cantor Fitzgerald Securities who had offices on several floors of the North Tower and was one of the hardest hit firms. Originally from Port Washington, New York, Salerno is survived by his wife, who is pregnant. A memorial service was held for Salerno recently.
"The World Trade Center attack has touched us all," said Commissioner Jim Jennings, "The entire League sends its heartfelt sympathy to the Salerno family."
Philadelphia Wings Co-Owner Russ Cline was President and Co-Owner of the League when Salerno played in 1993. "This tragedy has affected all areas of the sports world, including lacrosse. John will be missed greatly. The lacrosse world also lost several coaches and players from the college and high school levels. Our hearts go out to all of their families."

I came home after I met her and cried six years worth of relief. My heart lifted and released its anxiety of loneliness. I moved here in 2004 with a child who has multiple disabilities. It is 2010, and until today I had not found a friend to truly connect with, a support group centered around our unique struggles, or a compassionate soul to confide in. That is entirely too long of a time. It was not for lack for trying, believe me. I tried it all. It just wasn't happening. This is not just an experience, for the community here it is a tragedy.
There were therapists, professionals, doctors, teachers, school administrators, un-supportive family that provided more resistance than understanding, bouts of meeting friends that either excluded me based on religion, education preference, or used drugs and partied too much. I walked away from all of these. Not my fit, and I refused to take less than I expected. I knew what friends were supposed to feel like. They don't talk behind your back, they don't judge your every move, they don't exclude and they don't use you merely for their gain. And professionals are not your friends. They provide you a service, and they leave. Counselors must be paid to hear your problems or you don't matter.
For six years I watched my husband fall away from me in his mental illness, my un-connectivity repeat itself attempt after attempt, long distance friends become as far away spiritually as our move created physically…. and myself was all I had left. I could have lost myself in these circumstances , I fought not to. I was all I had. I carried this family emotionally, alone. I was not even sure I could trust in a creator or higher power to really be there anymore. Was that even real to me?
She was a breath of fresh air, no, more than that. She was oxygen to my soul. Even in this moment I am in such shock, processing in my head that it's actually really happening. Paralyzed to yet reciprocate, I marvel at the miracle of friendship, love, support, care, concern, compassion, and companionship. She held both my hands in between us as I told her in a bit of despair "oh my daughter,…. oh and myhusband!,…" and she said,
" you are not alone…"

Bulls Eye Pest and Termite - Houston Pest Control Services
How to tell if you have CockroachesIf you live anywhere near Houston and are wondering if you have cockroaches you can usually just ask yourself one question - "do I live in a house, an apartment, or any other kind of closed dwelling?" and the answer is unfortunately most likely yes, you do have cockroaches in your home. These crawling, scuttling little bugs are ubiquitous, and the hot, humid client of Houston is an ideal breeding ground for them.
Cockroaches love damp, dark closed spaces. They enter homes in search of food and water, and can crawl in through tiny, tight cracks that humans might never even notice. Cockroaches are omnivorous creatures, they can and will eat almost anything, and any tiny scrap of food left on the counter or kitchen floor, or any drop of water left in the sink is enough to draw roaches into your home.
The easiest ways to tell at a glance if you have roaches are:
Seeing Roaches
Unlike other kinds of insects, roaches are clearly and easily visible to the naked eye. If you go in to your kitchen at night and turn on the light and you see little brown insects scurrying to hide themselves behind the refrigerator or under the counter, you have roaches. If you see a dead roach on the floor, the chances are that there are more plenty more living roaches hidden in the cracks in your walls. Roaches can reproduce remarkably fast, and a single cockroach mother can have up to 300,000 grandchildren. So if you see one roach, it's best to act quickly before they become an infestation.
Seeing Roach Droppings
Cockroach droppings resemble little specks of black dirt or pepper, and often accumulate in cracks and crevices. If you see a thin speckling of little dark brown or black dots in corners or by the joints in your kitchen counter, it's a good sign that you have roaches.
When you see signs of cockroaches, the best thing to do to avoid infestation is to call a professional exterminator.
For the best in pest protection, pest control and extermination services, call Bulls Eye Pest Control at 713.222.PEST (7378). Bulls Eye Pest Control is a family owned and operated, fully licensed pest control and exterminator service.
Pest Control for the Entire Greater Houston Area
We provide pest control and extermination services for all of Greater Houston, all the suburbs and neighboring towns, within an approximately 50-mile radius from the geographic center of Houston, including Bellaire, Clear Lake, Conroe, Cypress, The Houston Heights, Katy, Magnolia, The Med Center, Meyerland, Missouri City, Montgomery, Montrose, Pearland, Sharpstown, Rice Village, Richmond, River Oaks, Rosenberg, Spring, Spring Branch, Stafford, Sugar Land, Westbury, West University and The Woodlands. If you need a pest control professional anywhere in Houston, call Bulls Eye at 713-222-PEST (7378).

You guys got to come up here. It's like a Rivet Head's play ground.
OCT 27th -Got to hang out with Chris P. from FLA, the guy that ran sound for the Hanzel Und Gretel Show (wasn't he in Ministry?) The St. Vitus Dance guys, and the UE guys.
Nothing like hearing this over the club speakers your first night in town : And Chris wins the new Suicide Comando CD, believe it or not this guy was at our show in Boise.
Eugene, OR is a rad town. There is a great bar there called Diablo's that is HUGE and really really clean. I fell in love with the bartender there and spent 12 very short hours with her tearing the town apart. If you're ever there, I strongly suggest going to that bar and have Heidi make you a Martini. Sucks to meet the love of your life and leave the next day, bu hey, THATS THE WAY OF THE ROAD!
Seattle was alright. I went to the Vouge, and let me tell 'ya. Industria has got that place beat, hands down. There was an 8 dollar cover. The bar sucks, but the drinks are good. The people are nice, but stupid, and really ugly. Now, I'm a scary looking piece of human flesh, but these people were from another planet or something. The place was packed, but people didn't dance, the just kind of stared at the walls and ran into them.
Well, I'm off to find a place to stay. I've been sleeping in my truck the past two nights. In this town that's not a good thing. In the Gas Town area, where I'll be staying, There is the most drug use per capita in the world. Most of the places in that area are drug safe houses funded buy the state. It's insane. The streets are packed with them. It feels like you're on a different planet. You don't have to worry about getting shot though, 'cause after all this is Canada. But, like a social worker that I meet said, "You're three times as likely to get a rusty screwdriver shoved in your back." Or, "People here do the same fucked up shit they do everywhere else, they jsut do it with a smile on their face."
Oh, and I have another reason to ahte the main streem film industry.
They are shooting Catwoman, and some other big flick in town, and those fucking stars take up ALL THE DAMN PARKING SPACES!!!
OCT 29th -
I'm sittin' inside some cushy fluffy cyber cafe. I finally found a place to stay, so hopefully last night was the last time I sleep in my truck for a while. This cafe is great. Lot's of computer junk and lots of places to read your book. The coffee an't too shabby either.
Tomorrow night is Devil's night at the PO, apperently this is the club's biggest night of the year.
I meet at least one muscian every day I'm here. I met a funk guy the other day who is rad as hell and wants to hook up some jams. I told him his funk project needed some fatty elecro bass lines. He liked the term so much that he gave me a shout out on his radio show this moring. Damn, this town is cool.
Sleeping in Suburbia sucks because people freak out when you fall out of your truck at 6 in the morning, hung over ass hell.
Sleeping in the city sucks becasue you have to fend off a crack head every 5 mins. The biggest threat around here is getting poked buy a neddle, or if you're walking around with a fresh tattoo, making sure not to get the blood in the bathroom stall on it.
It sounds crazy, but it's like that in some places.
There are pockets of clean areas in the Gastown area, at night. Where all the social workers hang out to drink, and that's really cool. I've heard some of the most fucked up things about crazy strung out people, and I've gotten some good advise on how to get about town.
Well, I'll keep you guys posted.

When helping my brother unload a truck recently, the men always insisted on carrying the larger items (which I was capable of carrying myself, mind you) and handed me smaller items. Carrying the larger items is apparently more appropriately mens' work. Even though they are just being considerate, they are making assumptions with no reasonable basis.

Apart from the fact that men have far higher levels of testosterone on average; and therefore it's a matter of scientific record that they tend to be significantly stronger than women?10.05.2012, 1:41 pm
I know the men in my life do such things because they consider themselves gentlemen. They're not doing so because they think I'm weak, but because 1) it makes them feel better about being big strong men and 2) they like doing nice things.31.05.2012, 2:57 am
This is kind of a tough situation to deal with from a guy's perspective. I know that women are strong, because one time my little sister beat the crap out of me for asking her to lifet heavy objects when she was moving in to her apartment. (:
All jokes aside, a lot of women would get pissed if you started handing them the big objects to carry. I've never been in a situation where a woman insisted on lifting heavy objects, but I would be happy to let them if it ever came up.
I just think most guys will just try to pick up the big stuff, because it's kind of expected of us. And for every woman would get offended by this, there's probably 3 other women who would get mad if we handed them the heavy objects. So it can kind of be a lose lose situation for a guy, and it's a safer bet to pick up the big stuff ourselves.05.06.2012, 12:03 am
Without being at all unusual, my upper body strength is about double my girlfriend's. Of course I carry the heavier load. She's perfectly capable of it, but a comfortable load for me is a heavy one for her.19.12.2012, 4:56 pm
Difficult situation.26.12.2012, 8:19 am
To be fair my mother often hands me lighter objects because she knows I can't lift heavy things.
The assumption is irritating, yes, but you could always just pick up a heavier object yourself and show them? Or just say 'I'm fine, thanks' and smile. Usually they won't need to be told twice.

Ignited Promotes New Bravo Series with Social Campaign
Ignited has a new social campaign promoting Bravo's new series, Online Dating Rituals of the American Male, which premieres March 9th.
The new campaign is tied to a promoted post on Buzzfeed examining "The 10 Types of Guys You Find On Every Dating Website." At the end of the post, readers are invited to take a short quiz to discover which of "six species of men that exist in the dating wild" they are or is their type. After completing the survey, @BravoDating will tweet one of six video results: Catchitis Perfecta ("Mr. Perfect"), Clinger Onis ("The Clinger"), Doublis Bookeris ("The Player"), Love Seekitis ( "The Romantic"), Liaris Apperancean ("The Liar"), and Predatorus Obnoxious ("The Predator"). As you can imagine (this is Bravo we're talking about), these are pretty silly. The narrator treats the subjects like he's narrating a nature documentary (thus the latin species names); it's easy to imagine David Attenborough providing the narration. You can check out "Liaris Apperancean" above, and stay tuned for "Doublis Bookeris" and "Predatorus Obnoxious," along with credits, after the jump. Read more

The development of a country has to start at the foundation of the society, the "family".Begum Aga Khan
There is a significant moral difference between a person who commits a violent crime and a person who tries to cross a border illegally in order to put food on the family table. Such migrants may violate our laws against illicit entry, but if that's all they do then they are trespassers, not criminals. They deserve to have their dignity respected.Albright, Madeleine
Mind the time when you would be lying before your family members, and there would be no physician to stop it (death), and no friend to benefit you.al-Hadi, Ali
There were five children. In the late thirties my father built a house for us, something not too dissimilar to Miess Tugendhat house. It was wonderful to live in but strange to see on the Texas prairie. On Sundays people used to park their cars out on the street and stare. We had a routine, the family, on Sundays. We used to get up from Sunday dinner, if enough cars had parked, and run out in front of the house in a sort of chorus line, doing high kicks.Donald Barthelme
You're never gonna meet anyone hanging around here with the tactical nuclear family.Alison Bechdel
I learned later that the surgeon who put Dole back together after he was so badly injured in World War II was an Armenian whose family had deep memories of the genocidal campaign the Turks had waged against them.Joseph Robinette
A convicted felon who had strong family ties, a stake in the community, and an education might get probation, while a man who had few family ties, little stake in the community, and little education might draw a ten-year sentence for the same crime.Joseph Robinette
I cant quite define my aversion to asking questions of strangers. From snatches of family battles which I have heard drifting up from railway stations and street corners, I gather that there are a great many men who share my dislike for it, as well as an equal number of women who ... believe it to be the solution to most of this worlds problems.Robert Charles Benchley
While there are practical and sometimes moral reasons for the decomposition of the family, it coincides neither with what most people in society say they desire nor, especially in the case of children, with their best interests.Robert Neelly Bellah
The family is in flux, and signs of trouble are widespread. Expectations remain high. But realities are disturbing.Robert Neelly Bellah
The family spiritual void has left the field open to rock music. The result is nothing less than parents loss of control over their childrens moral education at a time when no one else is seriously concerned with it.Allan David Bloom
It is not fair to Tony or to the Government that the entire focus of political debate at the moment is about me. I know I'm in a very special position, I'm the wife of the Prime Minister, I have an interesting job and a wonderful family, but I also know I am not Superwoman. The reality of my daily life is that I'm juggling a lot of balls in the air. Some of you must experience that.Cherie Blair
I started about five years ago when I did a hospital visit and was shocked at what a huge difference the [Starlight Children's Foundation] makes for not only these children but also their families, who are also affected. I consider family one of the most important aspects of life, because at the end of the day your family is who is always going to be there for you. When it comes to these children, their family is all they have because some of them never get to leave the hospital.Corbin Bleu Reivers
The most insistent and formidable concern of agriculture, wherever it is taken seriously, is the distinct individuality of every farm, every field on every farm, every farm family, and every creature on every farm.Wendell Berry
The family requires a certain authority and wisdom about the ways of the heavens and of men. The parents must have knowledge of what has happened in the past, and prescriptions for what ought to be, in order to resist the philistinism or the wickedness of the present.Allan David Bloom
Most students will be content with what our present considers relevant; others will have a spirit of enthusiasm that subsides as family and ambition provide them with other objects of interest; a small number will spend their lives in an effort to be autonomous. It is for these last, especially, that liberal education exists. They become the models for the use of the noblest human faculties and hence are benefactors to all of us, more for what they are than for what they do. Without their presence (and, one should add, without their being respectable), no societyno matter how rich or comfortable, no matter how technically adept or full of tender sentimentscan be called civilized.Allan David Bloom
The great error of the last 50 years is that conservatives think that they should unthinkingly endorse laissez -faire economics, but as presently conceived the free market destroys most of the things conservatives value; it destroys traditions, family life, societies, cultures, and established ways of doing things. The market place, as understood by contemporary neo-liberalism, is something no genuine conservative should support or endorse.Phillip Blond
Suppose you have two religions. Thought defines religion the thought about the nature of God and various questions like that. Such thought is very important because it is about God, who is supposed to be supreme. The thought about what is of supreme value must have the highest force. So if you disagree about that, the emotional impact can be very great, and you will then have no way to settle it. Two different beliefs about God will thus produce intense fragmentation similarly with thoughts about the nature of society, which is also very important, or with ideologies such as communism and capitalism, or with different beliefs about your family or about your money. Whatever it is that is very important to you, fragmentation in your thought about it is going to be very powerful in its effects.David Joseph Bohm
We need a spirit of adoption to take us out of the foundling hospital of the world, and to put us into the celestial family.George Dana Boardman the Younger
My first memory of loving music happened so early. We would always go to the beach in the summer and I would run from blanket to blanket, from family to family and just sing Lion King songs acapella.Taylor Swift
A man is a better citizen of the United States for being also a loyal citizen of his state, and of his city; for being loyal to his family, and to his profession or trade; for being loyal to his college or his lodge. . . . For only through the ennobling effect of its strivings can we develop the best that is in us and give to this country the full benefit of our great inheritance.Louis Dembitz Brandeis

the fest went off with few major problems. at the very very end of the night, a couple of drunk assholes stumbled onto the grounds and decided they wanted to fight everyone. after ten minutes of dealing with their bullshit (pouring beer on people, threatening to punch tiny emo girls, etc) we got them to leave. in the morning, i found out that some drunk kid severely burned his arm when he was trying to "walk through the bonfire". it may sound callous, but if your drunk ass decides its a good idea to walk through a fucking fire, you get whats coming to you. i'm still not sure if we broke even, but alteast everyone had fun and the weather was decent.

When discussing the Nationals, the topic will always begin and end with pitching.
The Nationals could make a move towards the top of the NL East standings if their improved pitching staff is the real deal. The Nationals are no slouch when it comes to hitting either with a lineup that includes Ryan Zimmerman, Jayson Werth and last year's breakout star Michael Morse leading the way.
If it all comes together for the Nationals, it could be a banner year in the nation's capital. With that said let's dig deep and assess the five most pressing questions facing the Washington Nationals.
5. Will Stephen Strasburg live up to the hype this year?
After returning from Tommy John surgery last September, starting five games and posting a 1.50 ERA while striking out 24 batters in 24 innings, Strasburg looks determined to make the next step this year.
Fantasy owners highly covet Strasburg and for good reason: he's an elite pitcher in the making. Strasburg is blessed with a blazing fastball and off-the-chart breaking balls that maliciously fools hitters.
As long as the Nationals limit his innings to keep him fresh, Strasburg should be drafted after the first 10-15Â pitchers are picked and should be a mainstay in fantasy for years to come.
4. What can Mike Morse do for an encore?
Morse powered his way onto the scene last year bopping 31 home runs while also hitting a commendable .303.
So, can Morse keep it up?
Well, yes and no.
Morse will still slug a lot of home runs for sure, but his batting average should regress considering his propensity for striking out. Morse should come close to last year's power numbers but a dip in batting average is conceivable.
The only concern now is if his lat strain will hamper him in the early portion of the season. As it is, Morse will likely begin the season on the DL.
3. Should we worry about Drew Storen's health?
After breaking out with a fantastic sophomore campaign in 2011, Storen came through on his promise as an electrifying closer. Storen apparently has it all going for him while getting the chance to close games behind a fantastic starting rotation.
However, a funny thing happened on the way to the 2012 season: Storen got sidetracked with an elbow injury. The injury has already landed Storen on the DL and he has many fantasy owners on edge.
Elbow issues are always cause for concern, but Storen looks like he may miss only the minimum requirement of days on the DL. Regardless, Storen is worthy of being one of the first 12 closers selected on Draft Day. The reward is much bigger than the risk in this case.
2. Is Wilson Ramos an emerging option at catcher?
With the dearth of options at catcher, Ramos has the chance to ascend up the backstop ranks. Ramos is coming off an impressive second half in 2011 in which he hit .358 in the month of September.
With Ramos poised to be the Nationals' full-time catcher (no longer having to split time with Ivan Rodriguez), Ramos should be drafted with confidence. Hitting over 20 home runs should come easy for Ramos, considering he hit 15 in 389 at-bats last year.
1. Can the additions of Gio Gonzalez and Edwin Jackson make the Nationals contenders in the NL East?
The Nationals made headlines this offseason by being aggressive on the market while signing Jackson and pulling off a big trade to acquire the services of Gonzalez. Add those two arms with Strasburg and the emerging Jordan Zimmerman and all of a sudden the Nationals have a staff that can compete with anybody.
Gonzalez is legit and he should have no trouble transitioning from the AL to the NL. However, many are not sold on Jackson and it's natural to be skeptical about him. After all, Jackson does not possess a great strikeout rate and is far too hittable on most occasions.
The addition of Gonzalez should be enough though. At this point, anything Jackson gives the Nationals is gravy. As long as Strasburg lives up to his end of the bargain and Zimmerman makes the natural progression in his game, this staff is quite capable of getting the Nationals to the playoffs.

"Do you mind?" the Italian actress asks with great trepidation, knowing the feeling about smoking in America. "I'm tired of constantly apologizing and being thrown out of places. I know it's wrong, but give us a break."
Smoking hasn't been the only problem for Golino since she came to America six years ago. "I think there is a good perception of my work, but there is not really a place for me," she explains. "I can't really complain, because I've done seven movies in America. But I do find it difficult to do the kinds of roles I'd like to do."
Many of the American roles Golino's taken on -- like the one opposite Dana Carvey in "Clean Slate," which opens this week -- have been in comedies. She was Charlie Sheen's sexy love interest in the "Hot Shots" movies, and she made her American debut in "Big Top Pee Wee." "I read the script and at the beginning I said 'I don't want to do this. Who is this man?"' she says with a laugh. "But then Paul Rubens [Pee Wee's real name] sent me a tape of his other movie, and I saw that the guy had so much talent, that there was so much original thought in that crazy little movie, that I decided to do it," she says.
Even though Golino is often cast in comedies here, she doesn't consider herself a comedic actress. "I had never done comedy before America," she explains. "The movies that I've done were the best that I could get and they happened to be comedies. I don't feel like I'm a good comedienne -- thank God I've worked with good comedians in these movies. But as I've said before, it's very hard to place me in a movie because I'm a foreigner, and in comedies you don't have to deal with that fact as much as in a drama. In 'Clean Slate,' for example, I'm called Sarah Nova or Beth Holly. You'd think, 'Why is this woman with an accent called Beth Holly? It's impossible!' But you can get away with it in comedy -- it actually gives it a weird little twist."

A guard dog is an aggressive dog. Guard dogs drops green charms and Bones. They can be slain for a 'dog' Slayer task assigned by a Slayer Master. For lower-level players, guard dogs can be tough to melee, as they can hit frequently, but these players can easily attack them from safe spots using ranged, magic, or long-range melee weapons like Halberds. One safe spot is through the fence of the north side of the McGrubor's Wood. Another spot is behind the mushrooms located on the south-west corner of the wood. Players wielding a halberd can safely attack them from any side of the fence.
Guard dogs may also be purchased at level 74 Construction to guard a players dungeon, (see Guard dog (POH)).
- Handelmort Mansion - Four spawn patrolling around Lord Handelmort's Garden, West of Ardougne Marketplace.
- McGrubor's Wood - Ten dogs spawn throughout the woods, although the dog in the northwest corner cannot be reached.
- Black Arm Gang hideout in Brimhaven - Three.
The dogs respawn fairly quickly, so only 2-3 dogs that are close together will be sufficient to fulfill a slayer task, especially on a crowded world with faster respawn rates.

- Write a strong opening statement about your home. Something like, "Beautiful brick 2-story house located on a waterfront lot."
- Mention one or two major features or benefits of the property in the first 10 to 15 words of the ad. Include things like "located close to schools" or "easy access to I-85.
- List key features of the home. Include items such as:
- Number of bedrooms
- Numbers of bathrooms
- Square footage
- Walk-in closets
- Pool, patio or deck
- New kitchen appliances
- Garage
- Location/Neighborhood
- Use descriptive words that will get the readers attention and increase their desire in touring your house. Example words to use:
- Appealing
- Captivating
- Cherished
- Classic
- Delightful
- Distinctive
- Exquisite
- Flawless
- Impeccable
- Luxurious
- Splendid
- Traditional
- Unique
- Unsurpassed
- Use positive words throughout the ad. "Cozy" instead of "small," "charming" for "old" and "needs TLC" for a home that needs some work are more appealing and can draw more interest.
- Avoid using too many abbreviations in the copy. If the ad is confusing or hard to reader, potential buyers will get frustrated with your ad and move on to the next listing.
- Always be careful to describe the features of the property. Never profile the buyer. Although you may have a likely type of buyer in mind, you should never focus the ad directly at a particular group of people. Consider every financially qualified person a potential buyer. Here are some examples that describe the property:
- Delightful brick ranch with updated eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances
- Large townhome with gorgeous mountain views
- Condo overlooking pool and tennis courts
- Include information regarding the price of the home. Ads without prices often mislead home buyers into thinking the home is too expensive.
- Dont forget to include contact information. You may want to include several ways to contact you (work number, cell number, email address) to make it easy for potential buyers to get in touch with you.
- Write a closing statement encouraging buyers to contact you. Something like, "Give us a call to schedule an appointment to view the property.

Gemma Doyle is furious with her mother. They may have the same untamed red hair and deep green eyes, but in Libba Bray's historical novel A Great and Terrible Beauty they are completely at odds with each other. It's Gemma's 16th birthday, and try as she may, she is making no headway whatsoever with getting what she really wants for a present—a ticket back to Merrie Olde England where she can make her debut in society and meet some nice, eligible young men. But her mother won't budge. Gemma's to stay with her parents in India. And then something terrible happens. She gets her wish… at a horrifying cost.
At home in England, she's Lady Rachel and waited on by servants whilst living at the ancient family manor. She loves nearly everything about Gryphon Park—except being alone. But all of that is about to change. As the youngest child in a family of powerful magicians, Rachel is about to embark on a great adventure as she enters Roanoke Academy for the Sorcerous Arts. Invisible to the Unwary, the campus holds glorious wonders, age-old treasures, and is a gateway to secrets beyond Rachel's imagining.
Maggie's new stepfather gives her the creeps. Not only is he short and hairy and definitely not her Dad, but he speaks with a strange accent and spends most of his time in a shed doing who-knows-what. True, it is not his fault that he cannot replace her dead father, and her mother seems to really, really love him, but somehow that only makes worse the Shadows that follow him everywhere—dozens of them that no one else seems to see.
Sixth-grade graduation is not just about the punch and cookies in Janet Anderson's Going Through the Gate. In an incredibly small town with a one-room schoolhouse, only a handful of students graduate every June. They know their lives will change completely—but not for the reasons you'd think. Sure, they'll be taking the bus to the big city middle school and join a grade with hundreds of kids in it instead of just five. There's more to it than that though. The graduation itself can be dangerous.
As Faerie Wars, by Herbie Brennan, begins, the prince of a magical realm has escaped the palace in the dead of night. Someone is trying to kill him. Months pass, and, on the run from an encounter with Lord Hairstreak's men, Prince Pyrgus found himself running full-tilt down Seething Lane. A factory lay just ahead and once inside he slipped on a white lab coat and blended in with the rest of the workers.
"Irish businessman will pay large amount of U.S. dollars to meet a fairy, sprite, leprechaun, or pixie."
The ad was posted on the Internet. Indeed, it generated numerous fraudulent responses, but the person who placed it only needed one true lead for his purposes. He had studied all he could in the mundane world he inhabited, but he knew the important secrets of the Fairy would only be known by others of their kind. However, in Artemis Fowl, by Eoin Colfer, the Irish businessman posting the ad did not mention that he was stupendously rich—and rather young. In his mind, the latter certainly did not signify.
Blue, daughter of the town psychic, has grown up hearing that if she ever kisses her true love, he will die. So she has resolved to stay away from boys and, especially, to stay away from Raven boys – students at the exclusive Aglionby Academy. The Raven Boys, by Maggie Stiefvater, is the story of how Blue comes to break her own resolution and is drawn into the lives and adventures of some of those Raven boys she swore to avoid.
Welcome to The City in the realm of the daimons. At the heart of The City is the Carnival of Souls where both murder and pleasure are for sale. The Carnival is also the site of a deadly competition where, once each generation, daimons can fight to the death for a chance to join the ruling class. Melissa Marr's new book, Carnival of Souls, will draw you into a dark, violent world where daimons and witches are mortal enemies and the main characters are swept up in a deadly struggle for power.
Howl's Moving Castle, by Diana Wynne Jones, starts off with a young girl trying to keep life interesting at her a dead-end job at the hat shop. So Sophie talked to the hats. No, they didn't answer her, but she talked to them just the same. "You have a heart of gold and someone in a high position will see it and fall in love you," she told one. Soon enough a plain-looking lass bought the plain bonnet and sailed off with the heart of the Count of Catterack.
The young king Tamar was awakened in darkness by the sound of elephants in his courtyard. Their jeweled tusks and golden banners proclaimed them the property of a great maharajah. In short order, a dark figure strode into the palace and demanded an immediate audience.
Tamar sighed heavily.
As his tutor reminded him, the principles of Dharma--the code of honor, conscience, and the obligation to do what is royally virtuous, meant that he could not refuse an audience to another king, no matter the lateness of the hour. Indeed, in the long-ago world of ancient India recreated in Lloyd Alexander's The Iron Ring, a king's honor is his most important possession.
The mysterious visitor, King Jaya, ruled the distant land of Mahapura where, he grandly informed his host, all was much better than in Tamar's own kingdom of Sundari. Musicians, dancers, food, all were better in Mahapura, King Jaya purred. The only distraction he sought from Tamar was a simple game of aksha. Pure luck would determine the rolls of the dice.
In all hospitality, Tamar could not refuse, although the stakes Jaya proposed would have fed the court for a month. Die-roll after die-roll, Tamar won. Then the king of Mahapura yawned and made a final wager: "Life against life."
This time the dice seemed to jump from Tamar's fingers of their own accord.
"King of Sundari," Jaya said, "you have lost."

Austin, TX (Sports Network) - Brandon Paul and D.J. Richardson made shots when it counted as Illinois survived an ugly shooting performance and a furious second-half Colorado comeback to take a 57-49 decision in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
A game of runs was determined by Illinois' closing 18-5 flurry, which was sparked by back-to-back 3-pointers from Richardson and Paul, who netted 14 and 17 points, respectively, to push the seventh-seeded Illini (23-12) into a third round East Regional match with the Miami Hurricanes on Sunday.
Tracy Abrams added 13 points with six assists for the Illini, who shot just 30.8 percent and were coming in as losers in four of six.
Inconsistent offense ultimately doomed the 10th-seeded Buffaloes (21-12), whose second scoreless stretch of at least eight minutes all but negated a 21-0 run to start the second half.
Askia Booker scored a team-best 14 points, Josh Scott had 10 with 14 boards and Andre Roberson finished with nine points and eight rebounds in defeat.
Booker's three 3-pointers in the early stages of the second half had a lot to do with the Buffaloes erasing a 16-point halftime deficit and taking a 44-39 edge, but the Illini stayed resilient and stifled them from there.
"In that situation, a lot of teams would crack and I thought our guys continued to stay very poised," said Illini coach John Groce.
Illinois went 11 1/2 minutes without a field goal until Abrams' layup cut its deficit to three, and two minutes later, Richardson had the Illini back in front when he knocked down a 3-pointer. He then came away with a steal, which set up a triple for Paul and created a four-point edge with just over six minutes left.
After closing out the first half by missing their last 11 shots from the field, the Buffaloes had similar struggles in the second half, as they failed to score a point in the nine minutes that followed their 21-0 run.
Their last chance went up in smoke after they couldn't get rebound off Abrams missed a 3-pointer with 1:12 remaining. Paul then sank a pair of free throws to create a six-point edge, and Booker's miss from long range on the ensuing possession sealed Colorado's fate.
Both teams came out shooting well, but the Illini went ahead, 22-17, just past the midway point after Paul, Tyler Griffey and Richardson knocked down 3- pointers in succession of one another.
The Buffaloes started 8-for-12 from the field, but following Roberson's jumper to cut the deficit to 24-21, they went ice cold from the field and didn't score the rest of the half.
Abrams and Richardson took advantage for the Illini by combining for a 13-0 run. Richardson canned two 3-pointers in a row before Abrams then capped the burst with a triple in the final seconds to give Illinois a 37-21 lead at the break.
"We're going to get back into this game one possession at a time," said Colorado coach Tad Boyle on what he told his team at halftime. "We cannot be happy with trading baskets."
Booker finally got the Colorado offense going when his third 3-pointer of the second half had it within, 39-35. Soon after, the Illini committed their third straight turnover and Scott scored at the other end to give Colorado its first lead since the early moments of the first half.
