The White House
Remarks by Melody Barnes on the One Year Anniversary of the Serve America Act
April 21, 2010W Hotel - Washington, DC
Good afternoon everyone.
Thank you Cokie for that kind introduction and for helping us start this exciting day. Thanks to America Forward, ServiceNation and Voices for National Service for your collaboration and leadership, as well as bringing us together today.
It's my pleasure to share this stage with so many who have dedicated their careers to both serving their communities and expanding the opportunities available for others to serve —the Honorable Harris Wofford who has been a guiding star for us all; the wonderful Senator Jeanne Shaheen; our new Corporation for National and Community Service CEO Patrick Corvington; my friend Vicki Kennedy; and service leaders John Podesta, Shirley Sagawa, and Kerry Sullivan.
It's certainly not news to any of you that our nation is facing challenges that we haven't seen in many generations, and at this moment your leadership and commitment has never been more crucial. For 15 months, President Obama has been hard at work steering our economy away from the brink of depression, and fighting to strengthen our communities by sparking job creation, reforming our health insurance system, opening the door to higher education for millions of students, and laying the groundwork for long-term prosperity. But we know government can't do this alone – if there ever was one, this is an "all hands on deck" moment, and that's why the President has called on every American to commit to meaningful volunteer service in their daily lives. National service and innovation – or community solutions, as we call it – are critical tools to addressing our Nation's biggest challenges.
The good news is that millions of Americans have stepped up to the plate, and I feel particularly optimistic about the future when I look at all the service-minded leaders gathered in this room. As leaders of some of the top community service programs across the country, your organizations are on the front lines of our economic crisis, our health care crisis, our housing crisis, you name it. You've answered the call to serve at a time when your country needs you the most. You've found innovative ways to help your neighbors and improve your communities. And you are helping realize the President's vision for a service-driven citizenry. Thank YOU for your work.
But we need to do more. We need more troops in our service Army, and that's why the President supported and signed, one year ago today, the bipartisan Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act – to triple the size of AmeriCorps by 2017 and build a new generation of service leaders. In the Senate, the bill was championed by Orrin Hatch and Ted Kennedy who knew that the future of service was too important to be bogged down in ideological differences and political battles. It's when we come together with a shared vision and common purpose that great strides forward can be made.
And already, we've seen results that would make Senator Kennedy proud as people across the country answer the call to serve.
People like Anna Mackowiak [Ma-co-vee-ack], an AmeriCorps Recovery Act Fellow in Georgia, who recently moved from private legal practice to a Legal Aid program devoted to preventing home foreclosures.
And AmeriCorps VISTA members Sara Byrnes and Josh Cowles who were instrumental in helping a local public library provide free, volunteer-taught classes to provide men and women with vital job skills. Because of Sara and Josh's work, the center has seen a 62% increase in the use of its services, and recently the center secured funding to expand services to surrounding communities.
And then there are stories like Gary's. Gary chose to enlist in the Army in 1966 and served a tour of duty in Vietnam. Forty years later, he found himself in a position he never imagined: homeless due to the economic conditions facing his community and our country. After nine months of homelessness, his life began to change in May of 2009. An employment program for seniors led him to the Longview Housing Authority, which eventually became the host site for his AmeriCorps position -- a position created with Recovery Act funding and sponsored by the United Way. Last June, Gary enrolled as a full-time member of the local AmeriCorps Recovery Team and used his first-hand experience with homelessness to reach out to other homeless veterans. He assisted unemployed veterans with job readiness tools, informed them of available housing programs, and enabled them to connect with services available through the VA. He eventually helped the Longview Housing Authority open up Vet Works in only four months, a project that was expected to take a year to launch. Thanks to Gary's work, homeless veterans are off the streets.
Anna. Sara. Josh. Gary. Four people transforming communities and lives, including their own. And thanks to the Serve America Act, millions more – of all ages and backgrounds -- will get the same opportunity to transform their neighborhood.
Service as solution. It couldn't happen at a more critical time. The Recovery Act provided $200 million to put more than 15,000 Americans to work as AmeriCorps members, and every day they now provide vital services in our most economically distressed communities: Job counseling and placement service to neighbors facing unemployment;
foreclosure prevention and financial counseling to families at risk of poverty; weatherizing homes, strengthening food banks, supporting health care and independent living services. And the list goes on and on
And part of coming together to solve our nation's greatest challenges means not just increasing the number that serve but also acknowledging that government alone is not the solution. Individuals across the country are responding to the tough problems by developing answers that will lead to more transformational and lasting change. We need to partner with them – as well as nonprofits, foundations and corporations – to solve our nation's problems.To this end, the Serve America Act also established the Social Innovation Fund to identify innovative, effective programs from across the country and help them replicate and grow to scale. Ordinary people can do extraordinary things if they're given the proper tools and support. The best ideas often come straight from the communities that need them most. With the Social Innovation Fund and similar funds in other federal agencies, we can better support creative, results-oriented, and proven models, and take them to scale in communities around the country.
The next great leap will be made when we as a country recognize that service, civic participation, and innovation are core to addressing our nation's challenges – not just "something nice to do." That's why the President invested in the largest expansion of national service opportunities in history. And that is why the President and the First Lady are leading by example -- whether it's reading to kids at area schools or bringing high school students into the White House for a monthly mentoring program. The First Lady even publicly challenged the students at George Washington University to complete over 100,000 hours of community service this year; they did, and she will be giving their commencement address this spring in recognition of their achievement.
Given the President and the First Lady's commitment to service, we're particularly thrilled that Patrick Corvington has joined us as our new CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service. For many years he has been on the frontlines of leadership development and volunteerism, dedicating his career to building the next generation of leaders and investing in the future of the national service and social innovation movement. He's a great leader for this moment, and I'm pleased to call him my colleague and friend, and work with him to realize the President's goals.
In closing, I'd like to thank you again for the hard work you have done over the past year to promote and expand service since the Serve America Act became law. It is appropriate that this legislation is named after Senator Kennedy, a true visionary and champion of service, a mentor and a friend to many, myself included.
You know, when Senator Kennedy spoke of service, he often recounted the parable of the starfish. An elderly man encounters a young boy surrounded by thousands of star fish on a nearly deserted beach. Eagerly, the young boy was picking up the starfish and throwing them back into the ocean. The man asks the boy what he's doing, and the boy tells him that he's trying to save the star fish. Chuckling, the man says, "son, there are thousands of starfish and only one of you. What difference can you make? A starfish in hand, the boy looked at the man and – gently tossing a starfish into the water – said, "it will make a difference to that one."
Ted Kennedy was like that boy – methodically, deliberately tending to individuals and communities . . . always believing in the possibility for transformation. If he pressed a little harder . . . better education for more children. If he led the charge . . . body armor for soldiers. If he introduced the bill . . . redress for hate crimes. If he put his shoulder to the wheel . . . health care for all Americans.
The Senator was motivated by that huge heart but disciplined by hours of study and hard work and mastery of the institution – the Senate -- he loved. Ted Kennedy embodied national service and like all great leaders he challenged us – he still challenges us -- to find our own patch of beach and to start gently tossing starfish back into the ocean.
So today, on the first anniversary of the bill that bears his name, I want to thank you for your continued partnership and leadership. And I look forward to doing more good work together.

Posted byon April 22, 2010 at 4:15 PM ESTNote: From time to time SICP will invite our federal government colleagues to guest post on our blog. Following is a great Earth Day story about a Peace Corps volunteer with a community solution to an environmental problem. Happy Earth Day!
No one would ever know that the walls of a two-room elementary school in Granados, Guatemala were created with plastic bottles. Unless, that is, you helped Laura Kutner, an innovative third-year Peace Corps Volunteer from Portland, Ore., and her community complete the project, which proved to be a sustainable, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective alternative to traditional construction. Kutner and many of my former Peace Corps/Guatemala colleagues have helped their communities construct, what we like to call, "bottle schools," which are constructed by enclosing plastic bottles in a chicken-wire frame and covering them with concrete to create walls. They use the bottles — which were cleaned and filled with plastic bags, chip wrappers, aluminum, and Styrofoam discarded in the community — as an alternative to cinder block.
In Kutner's case, students and community partners helped to collect so many bottles and trash, they had to go to surrounding communities to find more discarded materials to build the school. This project sparked the community's interest in pollution, recycling and waste management. Other Guatemalans have taken note, and Peace Corps Volunteers across the Central American country are in the process of building schools, walls and recycling centers out of trash. And, if Volunteers aren't involved in bottle construction, they are working to educate their local communities about the importance of respecting the environment, or on a variety of other projects.
Peace Corps Volunteers are faced with the challenging task of accessing community needs, brainstorming sustainable projects with local people, garnering their support and finding grassroots funding. Peace Corps is a unique experience, Volunteers partner with local communities and both live and work where they serve. Among other projects on Earth Day, Peace Corps Volunteers worldwide are engaged in establishing forest conservation plans, helping develop alternatives to wood as a fuel source, and collaborating with various organizations to promote environmental awareness. Click here to see more examples of Volunteers' work.
Peace Corps Volunteers are encouraged to share their experiences with Americans upon return from service. Many former Peace Corps Volunteers use Earth Day to speak about their service and environmental conservation. As Peace Corps approaches its 50th anniversary, its service legacy continues to promote peace and friendship around the world with 7,671 volunteers serving in 76 host countries.

Posted byon April 21, 2010 at 2:00 PM ESTToday is a very exciting day for President Obama's service and social innovation agendas. It marks the one year anniversary of the President's signing of the bipartisan Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, and today we are launching the new website for the Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation (SICP), a first-of-its-kind office within the Domestic Policy Council.
The Serve America Act marked the boldest expansion of national and community service opportunities in a generation. It tripled the size of AmeriCorps, targeted that service toward solutions, and created the Social Innovation Fund as an example of how government can more effectively drive resources toward both innovation and results.
Today, I will be speaking at an event to commemorate the signing and to remember and honor the Serve America Act's namesake, Senator Kennedy, for whom service was a life calling. And we felt it fitting to launch our SICP website on this special day.
When this office was created by the President, he charged it with engaging individuals, nonprofits, the private sector, and government to work together to make lasting progress on our Nation's most pressing challenges. The Office's principles and mission reflect the President's call.
In that spirit, the Office has been working with the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) – the federal agency home of service – to meet the vision championed by Senators Kennedy and Hatch, who worked together to introduce the Act, and the strong bipartisan coalition of Senate and House leaders who came together to support it.
In addition to its work with CNCS, the Office is working with federal agencies across the government and with partners outside of government to do business differently by promoting service as a solution and a way to develop community leadership; increasing investment in innovative community solutions that demonstrate results; and developing new models of partnership.
Today marks an important anniversary for the expansion of service and social innovation. There is much more work to be done, and we hope you will continue to stay engaged as we work together to address some of our country's toughest challenges.

Learn more about Innovations,Put Your Finger On the Global Pulse
Posted byon March 30, 2010 at 9:24 AM ESTThe US Government this week launched Global Pulse 2010. Global Pulse is a way to reach out to those affected by US policies and ask key questions and get ideas that will help us better shape these policies to improve lives around the world.
Between now and Wednesday, thousands of people from over 130 countries are participating together virtually to find shared solutions to common challenges, engage with US foreign policy leadership, and simply connect with each other -- through an online event called Global Pulse 2010. What we hear will help inform how we can fulfill the President's vision of a foreign policy based on mutual interest and mutual respect, including a more comprehensive engagement with the world around common challenges. Sponsored by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in partnership with the Departments of State, Education, Commerce, and Health and Human Services, Global Pulse will engage participants to collaborate on discussions around pressing societal challenges, build upon each other's contributions, and identify ways of moving forward.
As the Director of the White House Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation, and someone who has worked throughout my career to spur entrepreneurship -- both social and business -- in countries across the world, I am proud to serve as a Jam Host for the forum Advancing Entrepreneurship, Trade and Economic Opportunity. In my first post, I challenged participants to define entrepreneurship and identify which policies best create a supportive environment for entrepreneurship at the national, regional, and local levels. I look forward to learning from the diverse experiences shared in these conversations -- ranging from academia, government, civil society, non-profits, business and the private sector -- and understanding how to catalyze entrepreneurship and innovation in a way that best works in communities around the world.
In his June 4, 2009 speech in Cairo, President Obama stated, "There must be a sustained effort to listen to each other; to learn from one another, and to seek common ground." Global Pulse 2010 answers this call to engage and partner with the international community in a meaningful way. And you can still participate: I encourage you to visit Global Pulse 2010 and join me and my colleagues from across the government in this conversation over the next few days. We look forward to hearing from you.

Posted byon March 25, 2010 at 9:37 AM ESTStudents have contributed (pdf) some of the most important advances in information and communications technologies—including data compression, interactive computer graphics, Ethernet, Berkeley Unix, the spreadsheet, public key cryptography, speech recognition, Mosaic, and Google.
Today, with the right kind of support, students can play the role of innovators again—by leading the way in the development of broadband applications. In the same way that Mosaic and Google drove demand for today's Internet, new applications could drive demand for a gigabit/second Internet and 4G wireless. Indeed, a key component of the Federal Communications Commission's recently released National Broadband Plan is the development of new broadband applications.
Now is the time to launch an initiative that would cultivate, with student involvement, such a wave of innovation. Although it's impossible to predict what the next generation of applications will be, universities, companies, and students could work together under such an initiative, which would serve as a sort of "Petri dish" where new ideas could incubate and grow. This initiative could be led by the private sector, encourage multi-campus and even global collaboration, build on investments already made in high-speed research networks such as Internet2 and National LambdaRail, and take advantage of a growing number of grants from the Department of Commerce's Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP).
The initiative could have a number of elements, including:
- Campus-based incubators for the development of broadband applications, with access to high-speed networks, cutting-edge peripherals, software development kits, and cloud computing services.
- Relevant courses that encourage multidisciplinary teams of students to design and develop broadband applications.
- Competitions that recognize compelling applications developed by students. Some existing competitions that could serve as models include Google's Android Developer Challenge, Microsoft's Imagine Cup, and the FCC-Knight Foundation's "Apps for Inclusion" competition.
Let us know what you think of this idea. You can send us e-mail at email@example.com.

Investing in Innovation to Reach "Education's Moonshot"
Posted byon March 3, 2010 at 12:02 PM ESTIn February 2009, President Obama stood before a joint session of Congress and announced that by 2020 the United States would once again have the highest percentage of college-educated adults in the world.
We need new solutions to achieve that ambitious goal, and as a nation we cannot afford to fail. Soon, the Department of Education will request applications to the Investing in Innovation (i3) fund, which will support the development of path-breaking new ideas, the validation of approaches that have demonstrated promise, and the scale-up of our nation's most successful and proven education innovations.
i3 takes a new approach to funding education programs: small grants to develop new ideas; significant money for moderate evidence; and, if you want the biggest dollars, you need to demonstrate not just great results but also prove that those results can scale to benefit large numbers of students. Those working in and around schools know that this work takes place against a backdrop of flat funding (at best) for education at the local and state level. Producing far better outcomes, for many more students, with the same resources as we have today, is a daunting challenge, but one we must accept.
We know that educators and others are working everyday to meet these needs. That is why one of the most exciting features of i3 is that it finally provides a way to identify the best ideas and practices from our nation's teachers, schools, districts, and non-profits; highlight them on a national stage; and provide unprecedented resources for them to expand while we learn whether and how they work at scale.
Another new effort with a similar aspiration, the Open Innovation Portal (http://innovation.ed.gov), provides a public forum for all who wish to participate in creating opportunities for partnership and local private and public funding - potentially multiplying many times over the federal funding opportunity. We are hopeful this community of innovators and supporters will be another way that the best our country and the world has to offer spreads to serve more students.Secretary Duncan has called the reform effort "education's moonshot" a reminder of our nation's ability to reach higher goals. Surely, with our children's futures at stake, we can go there again.

iMicro CAT5E-10BLUE 10ft CAT5e Cable (Blue)

Good Length

Reviewed by Mo from Bixby, OK US
10 is a great number of connecting office systems to network jacks. Plent of length to move, but short enough to reduce cable laying around. Good cable from ST. Well built, fast enough for home use.

Von Hahn: Image is everything, so Grand & Toy sells nothing
In its new, 21st-century incarnation, Grand & Toy is the oddest stationer I've ever come across.
Comments | ? |
Report an Error |
Share via Email
Have you been in a Grand & Toy store lately? In its new, 21st-century incarnation, it's the oddest stationer I've ever come across.
Slick and minimal with eye-popping graphics, it's more like a health-oriented fast-food chain where one might find a ready-made salad or heart-friendly wrap than pens and file folders. And what's weirder still is that there is almost nothing in it. (Not to mention that G&T retail stores are increasingly hard to find. The homegrown office-supply chain, hard-hit by the double whammy of Staples and the recession, has "rationalized" its 110 stores to 30 across Canada, leaving only five Toronto locations.)
Mystified by this turn of events, I called G&T's vice-president of marketing Kevin Edwards for an explanation. What is the point of having a store with very little stuff to buy in it?
According to Mr. Edwards, what G&T is selling now are "solutions," not products. "The business now is not a matter of picking a chair out of a catalogue," says Edwards, who informs me as an aside that the company also happens to be Canada's largest furniture dealer. "Our strategy now is twofold: to locate our stores within high-density clusters of small businesses, and then to provide expertise to meet the needs of those customers to support their growth."
Walking into one of the new, boutiquey Shikatani Lacroix redesigned retail stores, the precise nature of this expertise is not immediately apparent. "We are providing expertise in space planning, technology and imaging solutions," says Edwards, who admits that the number of items on offer, and the in-store displays of product, have been significantly pared down.
Justifying this new direction, Edwards notes, "selling stationery the old way left you with unattractive stores stacked up with all these shelves of paper and pens."
I would of course argue that this was always the strong point of a stationery shop — that you could find a good selection of paper and pens there. As a shopper, you enjoyed the possibility of discovery amidst the array of interestingly quirky goods that characterized the particular, curio-cabinet charm of a paper goods shop. A store like Yorkville's wonderful Laywine's, for instance, admittedly higher-end and less mass-market than a Grand & Toy, manages to convey the old-world charm of anachronisms like pens and paper while being a useful resource. But what do I know of changing "value propositions"?
"We are merchandising now with a design focus for a customer who wants to put a little design flair into their presentation," explains Edwards. "If you're going to appeal to that customer, your stores have to reflect that."
Hence the glossy white emptiness of the new Grand & Toy shopping experience.
But then, according to Edwards, the stores aren't really meant to be stores after all, just 3D billboards. "We do eight times the amount of business in direct business-to-business transactions than we do in retail," explains Edwards. "But the health of our brand is dependent on how our stores look and feel."
Here's my two cents: the new Grand & Toy stores are better looking, agreed. But crisp white surfaces in a genre where clutter has always been a strong point are both discouraging and confusing. Are products somehow out of fashion and service is the only thing for sale? Have we come to a point where everything — even an office-supply shop — has to look like a W Hotel lobby to be relevant? Somehow the new Grand & Toy seems a glaring reminder of this weird new North America we are living in, where nobody actually makes anything anymore. There is strangely less on offer, and the real point of everything is communication and image.

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
As you know Ms. Choksondik died and in this episode we have that after
two weeks is time for all the kids to return to school, certainly no
one expect any big change after two weeks but after that period of time
all the boys will notice that their classmate Bebe looks different,
actually none of the boys is pretty sure why but for them now Bebe is
like the coolest person ever. So without doing anything Bebe now is
invited by the boys to do stuff with them, now she's a slut for her
girlfriends (certainly including Wendy). Is hilarious Bebe's mother who
pretty much lived what Bebe is now living so who also was suddenly
considered by all the boys as the smartest girl. Great moment: Bebe ask
"Mom, what's six times eight?" and her mother says "Oh sweetie, those
are two completely different numbers". So when Bebe sees why all the
boys suddenly thought of her as the smartest and coolest girl she will
go to see a doctor and that doctor delivers funny stuff. Bebe wants a
breast reduction surgery since she don't want to grow up getting
everything she want easily because of having "hot knockers" but
certainly the doctor can't do that, she's only eight but actually that
won't be a problem if she changes her mind and pays for breast
implants! So that same doctor will not see a problem when Wendy wants a
breast augmentation surgery ("us plastic surgeons have one philosophy:
if we can help someone's self-esteem a little then why not dot it if
they have $3,000"). So of course now and after the surgery Wendy only
expects to become the smartest and coolest girl of the school yet not
knowing that all the boys understood what happened to them. Not a good
time for Wendy as for us with this good episode that I recommend, but
there are many more from Season 6 to recommend more.
Bebe's Boobs Destroy Society is a Bebe focused episode.Bebe is Wendy's friend who was seen having a crush on Kyle in "Clubhouses" but is just another girl that does not usually get much screen time(at least before this episode).The episode has Bebe growing boobs.This results in the other boys being interested in her all of a sudden.They don't know what it is but for some reason they think she's smarter,cooler and want her to hang out with them.This makes the girls jealous and they start hating Bebe.The boys start acting like apes and fighting each other around Bebe.Bebe hates to see this and tries to get breast reduction surgery.The episode is pretty good and has some funny moments but overall is just mediocre.

The city of Phoenix and its Public Transit Department recently relaunched their DASH downtown circulator service.
The relaunch, included a new color scheme featuring decals that depict everything from downtown dining to school life and sports activities, as well as revised routes to hit dining spots throughout downtown, a recently completed Arizona State University downtown campus and government business hubs. The service will also connect with a soon-to-launch light rail system that passes through the metropolitan area.
The reinvention was spurred by Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon, who sees the buses as an important part of a new, broader definition of Downtown Phoenix.

Just curious if anyone has seen something like this and where one could find it (post it here is you know where to find it please). Everyone gets injured but I am wondering who is the most injury prone and my guess is the Swede's. With all the injuries we've had the past fews seasons I'm thinking the Swede's are the most likely to break down and thats why the past fews season we are being crushed by injuries. Lidstrom is the only exception I can think of that didnt spend much time on the shelf.

good luck trying to figure it out. Remember you have to do it per capita. There are far more Canadians than everyone else, then americans, etc..... it is nteresting to note that Canada has more players than all other countries combined, but the US also has more players than all other countries combined minus Canada.

I have owned a Glock 27 (Gen 2.5) for over a decade and and love it. Unfortunately, I replaced it with a Kahr MK9 and then a Kahr PM9 due to weight width for easier concealment.
I plan on selling the Glock 27 to a friend for really cheap ($300) since I don't use it any longer except for occasional range trips. I plan on buying a Glock 19 to consolidate my ammunition types and to have a larger size gun.
I went to the gun store today and noticed that there were versions with rear adjustable sights and fixed sights. Are there other differences in the Gen 3 Glock 19's? I want to buy a new Gen 3 before they're no longer available. The Gen 4 upgrades didn't seem necessary to me.

Rutland Police investigating car window-breaking rampageStaff Report | January 23,2013Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
Vyto Starinskas Photo - One of the dozens of cars that were damaged in an overnight spree of breaking windows.
More than 50 cars and at least two businesses were damaged during the early morning hours today by an unknown vandal who used a pellet gun to shoot out windows, according to city police.
There were no witnesses to the incidents, but dozens of complaints streamed into the department today from car owners who found their windows shattered.
"It was all over the city," City Police Sgt. James Tarbell said of the incidents.
Tarbell estimated the damage would cost "tens of thousands of dollars" to repair.

The moon's crookedness is caused by our going toward the center of the galactic plane

These are signs of our impending pole shift. [/quote] Good grief! Not this crap again. 1) We are currently headed AWAY from the plane of the galaxy 2) The Moon is fine, not 'crooked' at all - It is SUPPOSED to tilt. There's an old navigational trick, taught to me by my grandfather 35yrs ago (he was a WW2 RAF navigator) You get get an approximate 'South' bearing by extending an imaginary line across the horns of a crescent Moon, downwards. It RELIES on the fact that the Moon tilts in a regular, predictable way. [/quote] Actually we are North of the galactic plane heading down, very close now to dead center. Hmm interesting term that, now isn't it? Take a quick clue from Christian teachings, the cross is actually our crossing of the galactic plane. Jesus is the Sun/Son. He's always depicted with rays of the sun around his head. And if you read a little closer, you'd see that it's our Earth with its iron core that makes us tilt. The moon has no such core, so then it appears to us that it IS tilted, because we in fact are at times. It's really not much more complicated that bringing one magnetic object down and let it pass through another N/S strong EM field. When it hits that other like polarity on its way through, voila, you just might get it to turn upside down. At least you'll get some rock and roll in there. [/quote] So much wrong, where to start. The Earth has NOT tilted any more than it always has. The north star is still where it is supposed to be as are all the others. If there were some anomalous tilt they would not be. The APPARENT tilt of the Moon is a trick of perspective. EVERYTHING in the sky appears to tilt throughout the night. The Moon APPEARS tilted to the left when it rises and you are looking East. Then it is upright when high in the sky and you are looking South and then appears tilted to the right when it sets and you are looking West. At no time did the Moon or the Earth actually tilt. YOU turned while looking at it. How do we know it is only an apparent tilt? Because at the same time you see it tilted to the right and setting, someone on the other side of the world sees it tilted to the left and rising. Both can't be true. neither are. At all times the North pole of the moon is still pointed north. And you're wrong about the galactic plane. [/quote] What you've espoused I've heard over and over again. Sorry you wasted your breath. And no, sorry that you're also wrong about the galactic plane. I'm glad you conveniently ignored all that has been previously said, but I assume you write for the sake of the casual reader who will read the first and last. [/quote] I've only wasted my breath on you because you refuse to see the truth. Others will not be so blind. As for the galactic plane, you have provide no evidence and your opposition has. YOU are wrong. [/quote] Because you missed it in its Entirety, the shadow on the moon and hence also its still illuminated side is what is the focus in the very OP. Such crescent tilting at off particular seasons cannot be accounted for by your explanation of field rotation, and can only be accounted for by mine, which is again the tilting of our Earth through unusual EM forces in which we are entering. YOU are wrong. [/quote]

You can buy things while paused.
I apologize for the terrible icon quality. MS Paint is all I have... :(
This is basically a shoot stuff out of the sky game. It gets tricky after level 10. I hope you have fun playing it :D I was a little inspired by Red. I tried to take it the other way though.
Instructions come during gameplay.
Thanks: Jay, Ashton, Rachel, Alex and Jack for beta testing. Flashburn for cool music. :D
Pretty fun
Pretty fun but gets repetitive. also could use 5 second lvl timer so its easier 2 get upgrades instead of upgrading while trying 2 shoot
Hehe, yeah. I did say you are allowed to pause and buy up at the top though.
It isn't bad.
I can't say my opinon is unbiased but this game really didn't cut it for me. I gave it a decent score because overall this game is kind of cool and I'm sure many others would like it. If you came out with another game like this that had maybe...A story line? I might get a little more interested but for now I'll just give it a mediocre score. Sorry.
I can understand. Thanks. Don't worry, my next submission will be much leeter.
Well, to be honest it has all the basics of a good game, its smooth, looks good, and has little bugs, it just needs more originality and more variance in gameplay. ie, u should be able to move the shooter side to side with the arrow keys for better positioning, also i noticed on easy mode, it wasnt all that easy. With a bit more variance this game could be very enjoyable and its good to see you have mastered all the areas of flash animation (which i know does take a while, ive tried :)) so good luck with your future projects as i think you have a future.
Hmm. Alright. I'll be back. Thanks for the support ^^

The Department allows students to transfer between programs subject to certain conditions detailed below. Changing from a thesis to non-thesis Master of Engineering (MEng) or vice versa is considered a transfer because the degree program is the same. Changing from MEng (Thesis) to PhD is considered a change of program and entails a new (but accelerated) admission process.
Transfer from MEng (Non-Thesis) to MEng (Thesis)
Students who have been in the MEng (Non-Thesis) program for 15 months or less may transfer to the MEng (Thesis) option, with the support of their proposed supervisor. The student must have completed at least one term of course work and at least three courses. The student must not have failed any courses while in the MEng (Non-Thesis) program and have a minimum GPA of 3.3.
To request a transfer from the MEng (Non-Thesis) to MEng (Thesis) option, a student must apply, in writing, to the Graduate Program Director (GPD). The request should include a note from the proposed supervisor supporting the request. The request must be reviewed and approved by the Graduate Administration Committee. If approved, the GPD notifies the student and supervisor and arranges to send a memo to Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies requesting its final approval of the change.
Transfer from MEng (Thesis) to MEng (Non-Thesis)
In exceptional circumstances, an MEng (Thesis) student may transfer to the MEng (Non-Thesis) option. The request to transfer should be made in writing to the Graduate Program Director (GPD) and should include
- the original entry date into the program,
- the reason for the proposed transfer, and
- a letter of support from the supervisor proposed to work with the student.
The GPD will discuss the proposed transfer with the supervisor and student to ensure that it is in the student's best interest. If approved by the Graduate Administration Committee, the GPD will notify the student and supervisor and arrange to send a memo to Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, requesting final approval for the program change.
Changing Programs from MEng to PhD
Within 15 months of initial registration in the MEng (Thesis) program, an outstanding student may request a transfer into the PhD program (often referred to as "fast-tracking") without submitting a master's thesis, provided that the following requirements are met:
- The student has completed at least four courses at the 500 level or above toward the MEng requirement.
- The courses have been completed in no more than two terms.
- The student has a cumulative GPA of 3.7 or higher.
- The supervisor supports the transfer.
The request must include a current CV, a transcript of the student's McGill grades and the letter of support from the supervisor.
