Senior Kelly McKay Receives $1,000 Scholarship from the Philly Ad Club
Monday, December 19, 2011
PHILADELPHIA, PA – Kelly McKay, a senior communications major and French and business administration minor from Perkasie, Pa. was selected by the Philly Ad Club to receive a $1,000 Philly's Future Scholarship Award. Kelly was one of 10 students from Philadelphia area colleges and universities to receive the scholarship, which included mentoring and internship opportunities, and a complimentary one-year membership to the Philly Ad Club.
The Philly's Future Scholarship Awards are presented annually to students who demonstrate high personal, professional and academic achievements and are nominated by a professor from his or her school. Eighteen eligible students were nominated from 15 different colleges and universities across the greater Philadelphia region for the awards.
"The Philadelphia Ad Club is an amazing organization that supplies that important link for communications and marketing students to the real world of work," says Susan Magee, MFA, assistant professor of communications. "It's a tremendous resource for internships and networking. When I heard about the scholarship for outstanding students, I knew right away that Kelly was an ideal candidate. She is in departmental honors, a student athlete, writes for the College's newspaper and she sings and dances in school productions. How many students can do all of that?"
In addition to her scholarship, Kelly also got the opportunity to work this summer at The Philadelphia Business Journal as an event-planning intern, and is now currently an intern at Hoopla Marketing and Public Relations. "When I found out that I was one of the winners of the Philly's Future Scholarship Award, I knew that this would be a great addition for my resume. I had a feeling it would lead to great internship opportunities. During my interviews for my past and current internships, the supervisors were extremely impressed with the Philly Ad Club scholarship I had received and wanted to hear more about it."
The Philly Ad Club, a non-profit organization, has served the Philadelphia industry's communication professionals with distinction for the past 65 years. It is one of the region's largest and most active trade associations, with more than 2,000 members. It represents Greater Philadelphia Advertising, Interactive, and Media buying agencies, including broadcast and print media.

I used to own Doom the boardgame but decided to get rid of it for whatever dark reason and I now regret this deeply. Since Doom is now OOP I am looking for something of the same ilk. I realize that both games will have different mechanics but could you say that GOW can scratch my Doom itch or should I be looking for a different game altogether?
Basically, I'm looking for a dungeon-crawler with a gritty sci-fi feel to it. Ooh, and big 'effin guns please (even though they are miniature).
Thanks in advance!

SEATTLE – The Public Counsel Unit of the Washington State Attorney General's Office today challenged electric and gas rate increases proposed by Avista Corp.
The Spokane-based utility is requesting rates that would generate an additional $40.9 million in revenue from its electric customers and an additional $10.1 million in revenue from its natural gas customers. Senior Assistant Attorney General Simon ffitch called the request an unjustified burden on customers after Avista's last request, which just took effect January 1.
"Public Counsel has questions about Avista's case on a range of issues," ffitch said. "We believe Avista may be charging its customers for expenses that should be borne by its shareholders. Moreover, Avista's customers have expressed a high degree of weariness for the rapid, back-to-back rate increases. Many of the customer comments demonstrate that they are at their limits in terms of absorbing the increases."
Public Counsel filed expert testimony today that analyzes a number of elements of Avista's proposal. Highlights of the Public Counsel submission include recommendations that the UTC:
If the UTC accepts Public Counsel's adjustments, Avista's electric rate request would be reduced by more than $30 million. Its gas request would be reduced by more than $4 million. Other parties, such as Commission Staff or ICNU, may recommend additional reductions in other areas.
Avista will have an opportunity to file rebuttal testimony addressing Public Counsel and other parties' recommendations. Hearings will be held in the fall, and a Commission decision is expected by March 2013.
Avista serves approximately 236,000 electric customers and 149,000 natural gas customers in Eastern Washington.
Members of the public may comment on the rate case in a number of ways.
The Commission will hold two public comment hearings, one in Spokane and one in Spokane Valley:
Spokane: 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, September 27Spokane City Council Chambers, 808 W. Spokane Falls Boulevard, Spokane The Commission will begin taking comments from members of the public at 6p.m., ending no later than 7:30 p.m.
Spokane Valley: Noon to 1:30 p.m. on Friday, September 28Spokane Valley Council Chambers, 11707 E. Sprague Avenue, Spokane Valley The Commission will begin taking comments from members of the public at noon, ending no later than 1:30 p.m. Written comments may be sent:
For more information, customers may contact either the UTC or Public Counsel:
The Public Counsel Section advocates for the interests of consumers on major rate cases, mergers, rulemakings, and other proceedings before the UTC. More information about Public Counsel's work is available online at http://www.atg.wa.gov/Utilities/AboutPublicCounsel.aspx.
Editor's Note: The spelling of Simon ffitch is correct – the surname begins with two lowercase f's.

This is my second tube of the Palmer's Swivel stick.
It keeps my lips moisturized and it smells like chocolate. I wear it under my lipstick everyday and apply it at night before going to bed. I am absolutley in love with this stuff.
I had several new scars from scratching when I had eczema, have been putting this on them twice a day and they are fading nicely. Also love this on my lips.

This is a very useful product. I keep one in my purse and use it on my cuticles, scars, dry spots, and even my lips in a pinch. The packaging is very good; it does not come open or get smashed in my purse. The smell is, like other Palmer's Cocoa Butter products, chocolatey and I really enjoy that.

I apply this to my lips before going to bed every night. I wake up with soft, smooth lips. It smells nice too! Def a must have on my night stand so I will be repurchasing again and again.

I have atleast one of these with me at all times. I use it on my lips, elbows, cuticles, etc. It smells delicious and never breaks me out around my mouth. I'm a sucker for new lip products but this will always be there for me when I reach for it! I just wish they made them in different sizes so it wasn't so bulky but you can't have it all! Theyrabouit $2 in the ethnic hair care" section @ Wal Mart..

This is my second favorite stick lipbalm behind chapstick. It provides a thick coat of moisture and smells well. However, I wish it would last longer. As to it's skin smoothing properties-I've never found cocoa butter to even out discoloration-it just moisturizes. It's not love, but it is like.
I use this on my lips and it is very hydrating. Although it is a little awkward at first because it's so bulky, I got use to it and now can apply it properly on my lips. Like other reviewers, I did get the odd look of people thinking I'm putting glue on my lips.. until they realize it's actually chap stick :) I have yet to use it on other parts of my body as it would be a bit unhygienic to put the stick on other parts of the body if I put it on my lips. Would definitely repurchase.
Such an amazing multitasking product. I use this on my lips for hydration, cuticles, bug bites, dry spots on my skin, sometimes I even put a bit to style my brows !
I have to admit though, I've had more than one person ask me what I was doing with "that gluestick" when I pulled it out in public haha.

I love this for my lips and cuticles. I find that putting a light layer of this under my favorite bright (but drying) MAC lipsticks helps it feel better and look more natural. Its pretty cheap at walmart.

10:02 AMI know I've been MIA for a while. I've been pretty busy with my college classes, so I haven't had much time for anything else. Being sick for the past two weeks hasn't helped much, either.
I'm going to start writing articles on Linux again as soon as I get the chance. I've enjoyed my little "vacation" but I'm really missing my Tux fix. I should hopefully have a review of Sabayon 8 coming up soon, as well as a review of Ubuntu 12.04 when it comes out. So keep an eye out for them and tell me what you think! :)

In the mid-'90s, Square and Nintendo, once the best of friends, parted as Square brought FF and other hits to the PlayStation. For years, it seemed like they'd never make up, but in 2002 (partially thanks to the total failure of the Final Fantasy film), Square came back to Nintendo to make games for the GameCube and Game Boy Advance. Or both, in the case of the first game to come out of their renewed partnership, the connectivity-fest that was Crystal Chronicles.
To be sure, Crystal Chronicles was an experimental title. With four GBAs connected to the GameCube, each player had their own sub-screen, neatly eliminating one of the biggest annoyances of playing RPGs with friends: interrupting the game so you can wait for the other players to organize their items and sift through menus. The action might have been simple, but if you could assemble four friends and four GBAs, taking on FFCC made for a great afternoon. Each adventure was hectic, requiring constant communication and teamwork, both of which kept players committed. Square repackaged the series multiple times, but we don't think the series, or its adorable art design, have ever been any better than they were in the GC original.
Kingdom Hearts may be the ultimate definition of fan service, but we don't care. How else are we going to see Aerith and Sephiroth in one place? Alive? This Disney/Square Enix collaboration (under the direction of famed character designer Tetsuya Nomura) came packed with a charming Disney-themed universe and well-dressed protagonists who sported numerous belt buckles. The journey is centered around young Keyblade wielder Sora (voiced by Haley Joel Osment), as he and Disney troopers Donald and Goofy search for their respective friends. In this magical kingdom of Disneyfied worlds, you never know who you'll bump into next, whether it's a cameo from a character in a Final Fantasy game, or a beloved Disney character that could potentially join your team as a summon.
The series kept fans happy between Final Fantasy releases, and boasts quite a celebrity voice cast, including musical talent from Japanese pop star Hikaru Utada. While we're all clamoring away for any juicy tidbit on Kingdom Hearts 3, Kingdom Hearts has given us numerous spinoffs on various handhelds (which were quite good), but let's face it, we're ready for the next one.
Admittedly, Secret of Mana's status as a Final Fantasy spinoff is debatable; in the US, the connection was never overt, unless you knew that Mana was the sequel to the semi-forgotten Final Fantasy Adventure for Game Boy (released in Japan as Seiken Densetsu: Final Fantasy Gaiden). In spite of not carrying the series' name, though, the game's ties to FF are still there – and as spinoffs go, it's still one of the best.
Widely regarded as a 16-bit masterpiece, Secret of Mana is a huge departure from what we think of as "Final Fantasy" – and especially from what we thought those words meant in 1993. Instead of turn-based battles, it featured action-oriented, Zelda-style combat. Instead of a dozen or so heroes, it featured exactly three – a boy, a girl and a sprite, all of whom were playable at once. But all that stuff – combined with an unforgettable soundtrack, memorable characters and ridiculously satisfying power attacks – turned Secret of Mana into an amazing, uniquely fun experience.
Sure, it might look a little dated now, and there are critics out there who'll tell you it was overrated even in its day. For those who've revived the Mana Sword, freed Santa from a hellish existence as a giant monster and seen Flammie grow from a tiny creature into a ridable dragon who could turn the game world into a vast, freely explorable wonder, however, few games are quite as special.

I had this sent to me as well, but it said that the people doing it were targeting Tesco car parks in the NE of England. It was advising people to try to park as close to the shop as possible, as the gangs doing it were mainly doing it in those areas further away from the shop. It warned people to check around their car before unlocking it and getting in. Another similar scam involved flagging you down, and saying that your car had a problem at the rear and that the guy would show you. When you get out to check, his mate gets in your car and drives off.
What kind of world do we live in?

Hey all...
I have had this game for over a week or so now and I love it. Been playing it every free moment that I have, but one thing eludes me when reading up on this game or looking at videos or pictures online.
In a lot of the video's I am seeing, users a placing two avenues next to each other and then later on when highways gets unlocked they delete those roads and lay down these types of roads. One of my biggest issues when I start a city is that once the city gets past the 10k mark, the city goes to a standstill because my road network when I had first laid down is really bad and when I try to start laying down new road types, there is now not enough room to build them. Now I been laying down zones using the "free form" and "grid" system using "roads" as the inner and depending on where I am laying the zone, I'll switch to Small Ave or Road.
Without the "upgrade roads" mod (I like to play Mod Free) what is the best approach to starting the road network out of the box since you don't have the major roads until your population hits a certain amount. What's the best method for placing zones... near major roads or in "bubbles" far away from the potential "road network". Thanks for your replies in advance!
