Commissioners adopt new courtesy station fees
Melissa Crowe
May 7, 2012 at 12:07 a.m.
Updated May 8, 2012 at 12:08 a.m.
Commissioners also:
Approved $1.18 million payment for Citizens Medical Center;
Received a $28,000 award for the Law Enforcement Officer Reimbursement Program for the sheriff's office;
Approved the sheriff's office agreement with Texas Department of Transportation for the Click It or Ticket grant program of $9,000;
Approved a $21,647 budget amendment: $16,617 to AARF Operation from unallocated and contingent;
$1,030 for equipment from supplies;
and $4,000 for ballots and election supplies from salary and election personnel.
Courtesy Station Fees:
1 50-gallon trash can: now $5, was $5
1-3 bags: now $7, was $5
4-6 bags: now $10, was $77-10 bags or 1 cubic yard: now $15, was $11
Big loads per cubic yard: now $15, was $11
Truck load or 1.5 cubic yards: now $25, was $20
Fees to use Victoria County's courtesy stations will increase June 1.
Commissioners voted Monday morning to approve the restructured fee schedule for three courtesy stations in Bloomington and Victoria.
Commissioner Clint Ives said the change might offset what the county is spending on recycling services.
Ives said the main change was in pickup load pricing, which increased to $25 from $20, and the pricing of a cubic yard to $15 from $11.
A cubic yard basically is a pickup truck load, Ives said.
Commissioner Gary Burns joked that the county is "still cheaper than the city."
Ives said there has been a huge, positive response to the county's recycling services.
The program started with a six-yard dumpster and within two weeks, Ives upgraded to an eight-yard dumpster.
Courtesy stations now use a 10-yard dumpster, he said.
Ives said the county recently purchased a dumpster compactor from a surplus yard, which will allow them to use a 40-yard dumpster to collect recyclables.
The Precinct 1 station, 706 Black Bayou Road No.1 in Bloomington, accepts household trash and scrap metal, as well as pre-sorted recyclables. That station is open 1:30-5:30 p.m. Wednesdays and 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturdays. There is no charge for recyclable drop offs.
The Precinct 3 station, 751 E. Grouse Road in Victoria, accepts household trash and scraps from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays. Free unsorted recycling drop-offs, including used oil, are accepted 7 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday to Thursday, at 301 Quail Creek Drive, Victoria.
The Precinct 4 station, at the corner of Aviation and Bachelor drives, is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays.
Commissioners also held a public hearing and voted on an issue surrounding traffic regulations at Victoria Regional Airport.
The vote designates Foster Field Drive at the airport for "no truck thru traffic."
Foster Field Drive is the main entrance to the airport.
Ives said the change will lengthen the life of that road, which was not intended for use by heavy truck traffic.
Airport Manager Jason Milewski said truck traffic will be routed through Big Bend Road, South Hanger or Storehouse drives.
Businesses located on Foster Field Drive will still be able to receive deliveries, he said.
"We've noticed some damage to the road and, therefore, this is just a precaution to minimize that damage and create delivery and cargo entrances," Milewski said. "It's basically for preservation of the road and aesthetics."

tial warming had already occurred since the early 1970s. Temperature increases were correlated with increases in the height at which clouds formed at Monteverde and consequent reductions in the deposition of mist and cloud water critical for maintenance of cloud forest conditions during the dry season (Pounds et al., 2006). Simulations using global climate models showed that greenhouse warming could have the effect of raising the cloud line by as much as 500 m at Monteverde during the dry season (Still et al., 1999; Pounds et al., 2006).
A more general effect of climate change has been proposed for the disappearance of 100 species of tropical montane frogs of the genus Atelopus, which is widespread in southern Central and northern South America. A detailed correlational analysis revealed that ≈80 species were last seen immediately after a warm year (Pounds et al., 2006). Several species disappeared from Ecuador during 1987–1988, which included the most extreme combination of dry and warm conditions in 90 years (Ron et al., 2003). Authors of that article document that the mean annual temperature in the Ecuadorian Andes has increased by ≈2°C during the last century.
Pounds and coworkers (2006) hypothesized that climate change, precipitation, and increased temperature have acted synergistically in favor of the growth of the infectious chytrid fungus. They argue that global warming has shifted temperatures closer to the presumed optimal conditions for B. dendrobatidis at Monteverde and the other intermediate elevation areas of the Central and South American highlands, where most of the extinctions of Atelopus have occurred. Warming has increased cloud cover in these areas, which had the effect of elevating already higher nighttime temperatures, thus favoring fungal growth. The hypothesis has yet to be tested.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reached consensus that climate change is happening and that it is largely related to human activities (Parry et al., 2007). Estimates of global warming during the next century vary, but generally fall in the range of 2°C to 4°C, whereas rises as high as 7°C are projected for much of the United States and Europe, with even higher temperatures expected in northern Eurasia, Canada, and Alaska (Parry et al., 2007). Such rises would have devastating effects on narrowly distributed montane species, such as cloud forest and mountaintop salamanders and frogs in Middle and South America. The physiology of ectotherms such as amphibians and their ability to acclimate also are important considerations for these species (Calosi et al., 2008). With climate change (already 2°C changes in temperature have been recorded in montane Ecuador) (Ron et al., 2003), altitudinal limits of plant and animal

Jim Dandy Restaurant, Nobleville, Indiana
Jim Dandy is a small chain of restaurants in Central Indiana. I've eaten at a few of them through the years, but don't recall ever having tried their breaded tenderloin sandwich.
Jim Dandy used to be known for home cooked meals for a reasonable price, and that's still partly the case, although they seem to be pushing patrons more towards their hot bar these days…a shift of emphasis from what I remember in the past. However, they still feature a full menu with a number of specials, and the prices are very reasonable for the food you receive.
Nevertheless, I opted for the breaded tenderloin, urged, in part, by the claim on their menu is the tenderloin is "what we're famous for".
Since their advertising boldy advertises their famous tenderloin (the term "World Famous" is even used on the table placard) I was sure that I would receive a hand breaded, hand trimmed piece of breaded goodness.
Maybe, someday, I'll learn not to take advertising at face value.
What I got appeared to be a pre-frozen piece of breaded meat. No, it didn't appear to be the run of the mill frozen pork patty, but it was HIGHLY disappointing. The breading was bland and tasteless…and the meat was pretty much the same way. If this is what they're famous for, then their customer base is far less than discriminating.
I always try to find something good to say, and about this sandwich, the bun was toasted nicely and the sandwich came dressed exactly how I requested it. The fries were hot and tasty, and the price was reasonable….$6.95 including fries.
Still, it pales to what I was expecting from a "world famous" tenderloin. I'm going to give the Jim Dandy breaded tenderloin a 2 out of 5..below average.
Once again, the other things we ordered were very good to outstanding. Holly ordered a black angus mushroom swiss burger that was served on Texas toast, and it was over the top good. We shared a piece of strawberry pie for dessert, and it was a slice of heaven on a cloud of crust.
In short, everything was excellent….except the tenderloin.
The Noblesville location of Jim Dandy is located at 2301 Conner Street (State Road 32) in Noblesville, Indiana.

For a pretty darn good tenderloin you need to look into Tie Dye Grill on the east side of Indy. Its on Shadeland Ave between 10th and 16th street. They only have tenderloins on Tuesdays but they are hand breaded and delicious in my opinion. They also have onion rings that are to die for. So good. Hope you end up there at some point.
Comment by Lisa Marie | May 5, 2010 |
Just found your site and the pictures and reviews are awesome. Next time you are near Nashville, try the 19th Hole Sports Bar and Grill at the Salt Creek Golf Course east of Nashville on 46. The tenderloin there is rumored to rival the famous "Gnaw Bone Tenderloin."
Another place that is really off the beaten path (but well worth the trip) is a restaurant in Norman Station on highway 56 between Bedford and Freetown called the Hitching Post (phone #812-497-3072). Have not been there for a few years, but the tenderloins we got made 3 incredible meals.Comment by Gwen | May 8, 2010 |
I like JD overall, but that 'loin does not look good. Still a fan of the Jim Dandy burger. Good local alternative to Denny's/IHOP/Bob Evans etc..
Comment by wibia | May 12, 2010 |
I was just there last weekend ,,, very disappointed ,,, the JD sandwich ,,, was just not the same ,,, esp the sausce ,,, they need to 'kill ' whoever they have to ,,, to get the old recipe for that sausce ,,, the one in Noblesville was delicious ,, almost as good as the "Char Burg" in Cicero ,,,

Email: email@example.com
Dr. Richard I. Kelley is the director of the Clinical Mass Spectrometry Laboratory at Kennedy Krieger Institute. He is also a professor of pediatrics at Johns Hopkins University.
Biographical Sketch:
Dr. Kelley received his undergraduate education at the University of Pennsylvania, where he remained for completion of both his medical and doctorate degrees. At Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, he undertook training in general pediatrics followed by a fellowship in clinical genetics. He then joined the faculty of the Division of Metabolism at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in 1982 before moving to Kennedy Krieger Institute and the Department of Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins in 1987.
Research Summary:
Dr. Kelley's research has focused on the elucidation of the biochemical basis of genetic disorders. Through the application of various techniques of biochemical analysis but especially mass spectrometry, Dr. Kelley has discovered the biochemical cause, and thereby the genetic etiology, of more than a dozen different diseases. Following early work delineating the chromosomal defect in DiGeorge syndrome, new inborn errors of fatty acid oxidation, new peroxisomal diseases and the biochemical basis of various neuromuscular disorders, Dr. Kelley's studies have more recently turned to disorders of cholesterol biosynthesis. Dr. Kelley also serves as consulting geneticist to the Clinic for Special Children in Strasburg, PA, where his work has led to the identification of the biochemical basis of known and previously unknown genetic disorders common among the Amish and Mennonites of Lancaster County, PA.

Trinity is a small, highly selective liberal arts college. We recognize that there should be a place for students who, after enrolling at another college or university, want to transfer to Trinity. Accordingly, Trinity admits a limited number of transfer students both for entrance in the fall and at mid-year.
The number of openings for transfers varies somewhat from year to year, and several factors can affect the degree of competition for admission. Generally speaking, we suggest that candidates present a post-secondary cumulative grade point average equivalent to a B or better. The application invites candidates to express their reasons for transfer and to elaborate on any pertinent concerns or circumstances.
For adult learners, 23 years of age and older, pursuing the completion of a bachelors degree, Trinity college offers the Individualized Degree Program (IDP). IDP offers full or part-time study, a flexible timeframe for degree completion, mentoring and advising, IDP-dedicated staff members, and a customized admissions and transfer credit process. Applicants who prefer to apply to Trinity through this program for greater flexibility are asked to contact the IDP office to complete a specific application.

If you have attended a college or university since your last application, please submit an updated transcript and a Registrar Report online through the Common Application along with your application fee of $60.
Applicants who have matriculated at another collegiate institution, regardless of completed work are considered transfer candidates.
Applicants who have registered for college classes on a non-matriculant, non-degree-seeking basis only, may register as first-year candidates. This includes students who have taken college courses for high school credit.
Yes, students may apply as transfer students as early as their first semester in college, however, we recommend that they complete a full year so we can review their college work.
Housing availability varies year-to-year and is not guaranteed. Generally, most enrolled transfer students are offered housing.

At first glance, one may well wonder how dry a book like this could be. But Lists: To-dos, Illustrated Inventories, Collected Thoughts, and Other Artists' Enumerations by Liza Kirwin is the ultimate in trivial ephemera, and that can be quite fascinating to those who love to delve into any available minutiae. What is wonderful about this compilation of lists is that it covers inventories of a wide variety of topics by artists and others in the art world. Personal favorites include Eero Saarinen enumeration of second wife Aline Bernstein's qualities, Charles Green Shaw's list that makes up a complete poem, a visual packing list by Adolf Konrad and a list of responses in a letter from Lee Krasner. Other list-makers include Picasso, Alexander Calder and Harry Bertoia.

J.J. Hickson's 7th straight double-double helps Blazers to victory
PORTLAND, Ore. -- Those naysayers who don't believe the Portland Trail Blazers will have much success in a rebuilding season might have it all wrong, at least according to Damian Lillard.
The NBA's reigning Rookie of the Month had 25 points and seven assists as the Blazers pulled above .500 (13-12) with a 96-93 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night. Eighteen of Lillard's points came in the second half.
It was Portland's fifth straight win -- the team's longest streak since February 2011 when they won six in a row.
"It lets us know we're going in the right direction," Lillard said. "For us to be able to come from four games below .500 and be able to get on a winning streak and get it done, I think it says a lot about where we're headed."
J.J. Hickson had 19 points and 15 rebounds for his seventh straight double-double, and Nicolas Batum had 13 points, nine rebounds and eight assists. While it is only December, the Blazers are in the thick of the Western Conference race.
"I'm not going to say we're that good but I think we're capable of being a playoff team as long as we keep doing what we're doing," Lillard said.
Sasha Pavlovic and Lillard made consecutive 3-pointers as Portland pulled in front 92-85 with 4:02 left. The Suns got to within 94-91 on Marcin Gortat's layup with 1:24 to go.
After Lillard's 19-foot, step-back jumper, Jared Dudley had a layup for the Suns to make it 96-93. Phoenix furiously tried to get off a shot in the final seconds, but Goran Dragic missed a 3-pointer, and Shannon Brown missed a short jumper.
"We had a timeout left. We had an opportunity to go down, and I thought we could get a quick two with a timeout left," Suns coach Alvin Gentry said. "Then we peeled off and started looking for a three, and just never got the timeout called."
Gortat had 18 points and nine rebounds for the Suns, who led by as many as 12 points in the first half. The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for Phoenix.
Portland welcomed back LaMarcus Aldridge, who leads the team with an average of 21 points and eight rebounds per game. The All-Star forward sprained his left ankle in the final minute of a win over New Orleans last Sunday and missed the Blazers' 101-93 victory over Denver on Thursday.
Shooting guard Wesley Matthews also started for the Blazers, despite ongoing hip pain, but played only a short time. Matthews said that had the game been scheduled for Friday, he wouldn't have been able to go.
Matthews came out of the game with 2:11 left in the first quarter and headed for the locker room. He didn't return, and the Blazers announced after the game that he would not accompany the team to Sacramento for Sunday night's game against the Kings.
Former Blazer Sebastian Telfair's steal led to a pull-up 3-pointer that gave the Suns a 41-35 lead midway through the second quarter. Another former Blazer, Jermaine O'Neal, pushed the lead to 47-35 with a jumper and a pair of free throws to cap a 14-2 Phoenix run.
Luis Scola's 19-foot jumper made it 53-44 for the Suns at the break, but Portland jumped out in the second half and got as close as 63-62 after a long jumper from Lillard.
The Suns answered with a 10-1 run to make it 73-63, but the Blazers again caught up. Lillard's hook shot tied it with 20 seconds left in the third quarter.
Lillard, the No. 6 pick in the NBA draft out of Weber State, went into the game leading rookies with 18.5 points per game. He has 14 games this season with at least 20 points.
Hickson's dunk and free throw to open the fourth quarter gave the Blazers a 78-75 lead. Ronnie Price's layup gave the Blazers an 84-83 edge with 6:28 left, and Lillard added a pair of free throws.
O'Neal is impressed by Lillard, who had 24 points against the Suns earlier this season.
"It's funny because you can't read his face. Sometimes the light which is the glare of being a rookie in the NBA becomes so bright that you see it affect some of the guys emotionally or physically," O'Neal said. "He does a great job keeping his demeanor. He loves the big shot, obviously, he took some big ones. I think he's definitely the future of this team."
The Suns were coming off a 121-104 victory over Charlotte on Wednesday night.
Game notes
Hickson's seven consecutive double-doubles are a career high. The last Blazers player with seven straight was Arvydas Sabonis, from Nov. 4-17, 1997. ... Portland has won seven consecutive regular-season home games against the Suns. ... The Suns beat the Blazers 114-87 earlier this season. ... Dudley had a career-high 10 assists.

[…] Marat Safin and Russian pop singer Nastya Osipova. (Our favorite playboy's latest girlfriend didn't score high among his fan base:-) […]
were he wind her in silicon valley i supposed.
Ewwww…he can do better
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww the girlfriend looks so wierd, i think marat can do better than he pick up this singer
Wow I thought she would be better looking than that… Oh well, ladies you are still in 4 a chance
[…] To all Marat Safin fans out there, this might be a good news for you. Ever since Marat's pictures surfaced online with his recent girlfriend Nastya Osipova, Safin's female fans have started enthusiastically discuss if she is good enough for the famous charismatic Russian tennis player. Now the Russian Life magazine writes that Marat's father Mikhail Safin wonders why they haven't met his girlfriend yet, a 24-year-old pop Russian singer whom he reportedly has been dating for about a year. "We only hear from friends and the media that Marat has a girlfriend. Maybe he is being shy or maybe he has his own reasons not to let us in his personal life. However, I find it strange." See more Nastya's photos here. […]
Apparently he hasn't introduced her to his family yet. Marat's father was complaining about it. Here is Nina's post about it.
You have got to be kidding!! I read where she told a newspaper she was in love with him and he had given her some big surprise for her birthday. What about Valentine's Day? Anything?. I think she is lying about not wanting to marry him. She wants it so bad she can taste it!! She is just saying this so he will keep going with her. If she gets possessive she knows she is history!! He wasn't alone in Australia was he? He said he wants his freedom.
I agree. She is just telling him what he wants to hear so she can stay with him. If she knows about the girls in Australia and stays, she will stay for anything he does. I think Marat just wants company when he is home and doesn't want to go looking for a girl everytime he goes out. She's available.
Girls in Australia? Do tell.
Astonishing isn't it? Marat and girls?? When does he sleep?
What is she wearing, its horrible.Besides her clothing i can't say anything about her, she obviously has something that attracts him. I wish i could have a chance to date him.
well i think you should all give her a break, i mean who cares what dress she has on at the end of the day she is the one that is sat at the table making dough eyes at him. we all wish we could date him but lets face it none of us ever will.
Give her a break? I might if she wasn't shooting her mouth off for every rag paper in
Russia. She's milking this for every bit of publicity she can. Sending him a "Valentine" in the newspaper, telling about his birthday gift to her, how he doesn't care if she exposes herself!! Come on. Why would he care. She's not going to be his wife. I'm way to old to think about dating Marat Safin so jealousy is not in play here, just a little common sense. He says she is his girlfriend, sort of, a little bit!! I wish him a girlfriend who is classy and dignified. Not this type who says she wants to be "Famous."
She is far too ugly for him!
Among other things!!! No class, no dignity, no self worth!!
that girl is grouse! he must have lost his mind somewhere along the line. girl of that look can be bought for few dollars…looks far too cheep!
He's just passing time without any kind of committment. When he says she's "sort of" a girlfriend you have to know, he is NOT in love with her. And by the way, she has not met his parents even though she says she has. Pathetic!!
Yep. Pathetic. And the tattoo—what's up with that? The Power of Love tattooed on her back for him? Not smart on her part. Please, Marat, move on!!
Nope for real!! There were pictures of her in a Russian paper showing it to some guy and gushing about his "sexual prowess." She's a piece of work. No wonder he says he has a girlfriend "sort of. A little. A little."
marat safin the sexiest man alive is dating this ugly woman:((((
come on marat , you worth more than that:
you can have a smart, sexy , beautiful, fun , perfect…woman
please wake up!!!!
you are a talented player and good looking man so you need a girlfriend who is a 100times more beautiful than this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's not so much the lack of physical beauty (these are some bad pictures) but the lack of class that gets me. Always talking about their relationship and then saying she doesn't believe in making feelings public. Saying she's a "strong woman" and then clinging onto him like a barnacle!! She is not honest with how she feels and tells him whatever she has to in order to keep him. I think he has lost his mind!!! You want this for the mother of your children??
Has anyone noticed how Nastya has finally shut up? Guess Marat got to her and told her to knock it off, of else she got wind of the video where he said he had a girlfriend "sort of." She says they don't want to "shine" anywhere together. Probably he just doesn't want to take her anyplace where they can be seen together!!
Guess what?? He dumped her!! No surprise here. No wonder she has been quiet. Russian press says he "threw" her but we all know what that means. She is now the "Old girlfriend." Good for you Marat.
Marat needs someone strong and independent and well quite frankly not someone who looks like they will be a damsel in distress and will need marat to save her.
i really hope what you have said is true and that she is his "old girlfriend".
many of his other girlfriends were better, like dasha
It is true. She is history. The whole story was a lie about him proposing to her. His circle of friends say he was furious toward the end of this whole thing saying Life.ru made the whole thing up, as they always do. They say he dated her but was not in love with her and she knew it, though she tried everything she could to get him. She is pathetic and tried to make him jealous by posting a picture of herself with a new "suitor." Thank God this is over!!!
I'm a Safinettes and I feel sorry for his ex-girlfriend, being dumped and looked down by all.
Well, on a bright side, I'd like to be in her shoes anyday… to have Marat for a while Pathetic but that old girlfriend had a good time.
I guess a little sympathy is in order here, being dumped and having to read about in every rag in town, but she should have kept her mouth shut about him, not giving out countless interviews about her love for him. If all someone wants is a good time for a while, I guess dating him would be fun, but in the long run, not so much. We all love him in one way or other. Find a nice girl Marat.
i hope that he can find woman and fall in love with.cause i love him i wish better for him.by the way i'm muslim too from egypt.
Hi Mr. Safin,
You are highly regarded and your games were the best for me. I have a special attachment with you and yours games. You are tooo special for me and my kids. My son resembles you and he too plays tennis in our country. I wish I know your email ID so that I can write my personal feelings that I had when you say bye to the world of tennis fans.
If anyone knows his email id, please let me know, that would be nice.
I wish you a very happy and healthy life through out.
Marat, after all these years, please choose someone who is better looking and doesn't look like robot-barbie!! EWWWWWWWssssssss!
oh no…. it's like a blow to my chest! cant believe it…
i was praying tnat someday i'll see him in person still single… why oh why???
*sigh* i dont think i'll like her ever…. T_T
to Marat: i'll still love you…


text: Category: Music & Theatre Dates: Thursday, 14 February 2013 to Monday, 25 February 2013 Two rarely performed works by Pina Bausch will be staged by Germany's Tanztheater Wuppertal at Sadler's Wells this February. Known as one of the most significant choreographers of the 21st century, Bausch's legacy will be celebrated by the dance company she founded with performances of her 1985 work Two Cigarettes in the Dark and the 2006 piece Vollmond. The first of these offers a powerful meditation on the monotony of life, while the second is known for its use in Pina, the 3D documentary film by Wim Wenders in which Bausch was set to participate at the time of her death. Tanztheater Wuppertal are returning to Sadler's Wells after a month-long sellout season of international co-productions that took place at this venue and the Barbican last year. People wishing to see the show can book a Bloomsbury Weekends package at The Montague on the Gardens Hotel and enjoy all the perks one would expect from a luxury London hotel experience. These include complimentary English breakfasts, afternoon tea and a bottle of Champagne on arrival, plus a late 18:00 departure time on the Sunday.

Instagram, the mobile photo-sharing app owned by Facebook Inc., says it will start showing "occasional" photo and video advertisements in the coming months.
It's Instagram's first step toward making money. While users can already follow brands and businesses, part of the app's appeal has been its simplicity and, for some, a lack of advertisements.
To ease users into seeing ads, the company said in a blog post Thursday that it will focus on showing "a small number" of "high-quality photos and videos" from a handful of brands.
Facebook bought Instagram last fall for $715.3 million, $300 million of it in cash and the rest in stock. The app has more than 150 million users and is especially popular with teenagers and young adults.

All official Mississippi College Web sites or Web pages must adhere to the following guidelines regarding styles.
Custom Designs for Academic Departments
Administrative departments are required to use the main Mississippi College design template. However, schools and academic departments are permitted to have designs that differ from the main Mississippi College template.
Schools and academic departments that wish to redesign their site should contact the Director of Web Communications to begin planning the redesign project. In such instances, the process will take place as follows:
- The Office of Public Relations will directly manage the redesign project in coordination with the academic department.
- The academic department will be charged for the redesign, but at a rate significantly lower than that of fully outsourcing the design. Contact us for specific rates.
- The Office of Public Relations may outsource certain portions of the redesign, depending on the needs of the project.
- The Office of Public Relations will integrate the site into our content management system and train a department representative of usage of the CMS.
Any questions regarding this process should be sent to the Director of Web Communications.
If an academic chooses not to have the Office of Public Relations manage their web design project:
- The design must still be approved by the public relations office before it can be launched (we recommend submitting the site for approval as early as possible in the redesign process).
- The site must be hosted on Mississippi College servers. Hosting requirements for the project should be confirmed with the public relations office at the beginning of the design process.
- The department will be fully responsible for maintaining the site (FTP access will be provided to the department if necessary).
In all cases, the Office of Public Relations should be notified before the design process begins.
Required design elements in custom designs
- the name "Mississippi College" and the name of the department in the header
- a link to the Mississippi College homepage on every page in the site
- any other items as specified by the Office of Public Relations
Body Copy
The following fonts are approved for use within body copy on University sites:
- Open Sans (Google)
- Lato (Google)
- Arial
- Helvetica
- Droid Serif (Google)
- Esteban (Google)
- Alegreya (Google)
- Garamond
- Georgia
No other fonts may be used for body copy unless they are approved by the Office of Public Relations. Usage of other fonts used within headings and titles must be approved by the Office of Public Relations.
HTML heading tags (h1, h2, h3) should be used to display titles and headings within your content. These tags will be beneficial for organization of content, consistency of style and search engine optimization. The styles for these tags can be specified in a central CSS file in order to simplify the application of styles throughout various pages.
Hyperlinks should be the same font and font size as body copy, except for navigational links. With regards to color, all links should stand out as links, but should still remain dark enough to be easily readable.
Navigation & Page Titles
Navigation should be clear and consistent. Top-level menu items should remain the consistent throughout all pages within the site. In certain instances, the top-level menu may be in a different location that the homepage, but it should still have the same menu items. Sub-menus should remain consistent across their respective pages. Pages should only exist in one location within the navigational hierarchy.
All pages should have an HTML title that includes the page name. Acceptable separators include a pipe (|) or a dash (-). Usage of the pipe as a separator is recommended.
- Office of Public Relations | Mississippi College
- Office of Public Relations - Mississippi College
Images used on official Mississippi College websites must be provided or approved by the Office of Public Relations. Web images should be compressed to a resolution of 72 dpi. Images should never be scaled up using HTML. They should be sized properly using image editing software. All images should have an HTML alt attribute. Images used for design/decorative purposes only may have an empty alt attribute.
Logo Usage
The logo, which consists of the "bell tower" graphic and the wordmark, should not be edited in any way, except for resizing. When resizing, the aspect ratio of the logo should be maintained. Drop shadows, bevels, and other effects should not be added to the logo.

After few trials and errors I've finally found a way to export a fully rigged character from Blender to Unreal Engine 4 and then re-target built-in animation for use within UE4. As there are few hoops to jump through, I'm going to document the workflow step-by-step (with pictures!).
For a little bit more than a year now I've been working on and off on a simple, multiplayer, browser-based game called Archers!. I've deliberately set it out to make a simple multiplayer game as I was afraid anything more complex would be a timesink that I would eventually abandon. I've managed to meet the initial requirements and then even added few features but unfortunately the game I've made is, quite frankly, dull and boring.
Now that the core-mechanics is done, the game is just about playable and I've got some feedback based on running few multiplayer sessions. I've made a decision to open-source the project hoping that either game as a whole or at least some components of it will be of use to someone. It has never been a goal to release it as commercial product but I hoped I would be able to put more effort into polishing the game. However the 80/20 rule (see below) got me and I've decided to leave the game as is and chase other game-making opportunities. That being said, the time I've spent making this game is far from being wasted! In this post I'm going to share lessons learned from making "Archers!".
Don't care how, just want it done? Download here
Whenever I've joined my friends for an occasional game of League of Legends I've been irritated by the fact that game won't let me customize my HUD so I can play efficiently on my triple screen Eyefinity setup. LOL will happily render on 5760x1080px resolution, however you're stuck with map on the far right and character screen on the far left:
One night I've decided it would be a nice challenge to try and fix this. About 6 hours later the first version of a LOL Hudfixer has been born. I've played few games using this hack and have encountered no problems so far. It has been an exciting experience to reverse-engineer some of the logic used in the game, I'll try to outline my findings/approach in this article.
I needed a new laptop so I've decided to check whether I could find one that could fully replace my power-hungry desktop and at the same time get decent mobility. My desktop is a high-spec gaming rig with three full-hd screens dual booting Linux and Windows. Can you pack hardware and battery powerful enough to match that into a small pizza box?
Still using Bash? It's cool, though you might want to switch to zsh and give your shell some super powers! Give it a shot, you'll love this!
You might have been advised elsewhere to use the zsh-newuser-install
but I wouldn't recommend that. While the intentions of this little program are very good, it scared me off from switching to zsh in the past. There is a much better way thanks to a community-driven zsh framework oh-my-zsh. This wonderful framework will configure your zsh with super powers collectively build based on experience of the community. Not only that, it will allow you to select more esoteric super powers as plugins. Even better, it will allow you to select one of more than hundred themes that delivers super powers to your prompt. Excited? Read on.
Traditional image sprites for web are done using png or jpg files where multiple small (raster) graphics, often icons, are merged into a single image file to save on file size and reduce amount of http round trips required. This works great unless you want to scale your icons. Wouldn't it be great if you could have spritesheet full of scalable vector graphics? Just imagine how you could enhance your responsive design? Sadly you can't do sprites like that. Or can you?
In this article I describe various methods of creating svg sprites, provide examples and outline browser compatibility.
Developers from my team come up with a rather interesting challenge to produce a small piece of JavaScript code of which output would be impossible to predict for a non-JS developer. Obviously we're talking about human-readable i.e. no obfuscation. Here is what we've came up:
(function() { logMe(); var logMe = function() { console.log('Jesus, George, it was a wonder I was even born.'); }; logMe(); function logMe() { console.log('Great Scott!'); } logMe(); console.log(parseInt('010')); })(); |
Can you predict the output? You can find some good hints in my article listing common JavaScript interview questions.
Most software sux, but there are exceptions, gems that make me believe that not all is lost. Sublime Text 2 is one great example (and I don't get paid to say so). There are great many places online where you can learn about its features, this post isn't one. I want to focus on what makes Sublime Text make me love it when I hate most software:
It's sophisticated yet simple. In its core it's just a text editor. Yet it has tabs, colored syntax, auto-complete, excellent regexp support, go-to-definition capability, snippets, multi-line selection and million other features that make you love it. It's all there but it doesn't manifest itself unless you say so.
It's centered around you and your work. It doesn't enforce it's own workflow (think 'create project' from some IDEs). It doesn't ask stupid questions (try closing an editor with 10 unsaved documents, you will get 10 stupid dialog boxes, 0 in Sublime Text 2). It remembers where you left your work and just gets there when started again.
It's blistering fast. It pops up immediately – no splash screen, no questions asked. It opens and parses 150K lines of xml in just below 3 seconds (and that's on my non-SSD PC!) and you can edit and navigate it smoothly without waiting for anything.
It's extensible. There are hundreds of plugins and you can write your own if you know python.
It's truly cross-platform. I'm regularly using Sublime Text 2 on Linux and Windows, with exception for some key-bindings it's exactly the same piece of software. And a single license covers them all!
It's elegant.
Other software like that: Blender, Firefox, Chrome, XBMC… Gosh why this list is so short?
Gosh I hate what happened to software. I really do. When did it all happen? Let's take windows for an example: Why all of sudden to use windows you need at least 2 firewalls, an anti-virus and a rookit detector. Why every time you start something else than Internet Explorer you have to confirm that you indeed intended to run this application and yes it should be allowed to connect to the internet in both home and office network and yes public network too! Why every single app all of a sudden needs to add something to one of 10 places where windows keeps 'autostart apps'; or sneak in a shitty toolbar plugin to spy on my every action; or at least change my default search engine.
Similar revolution happened to PC games: You need to download Steam, Origin or other spyware, create an account to play a single game these days. Origin takes 5 minutes to start on a well-spec gaming rig and Steam will fuck-up my game every time an update is release. And once you get through all this crap a small fluctuation on your network connection will stop you from playing thanks to our new friend DRM. This is supposed to stop piracy they say, but hey it has been on the Pirate Bay day before the official release day and Razor 1911 made it EASIER to install the damn thing than the distributor itself. Put the disc in, double click razor_install.exe, select path, click OK, grab a drink, play.
Another thing – programmer's best friend – the IDE (or a very clever editor). My programming environment is like a temple so I can't stand one that takes 20 seconds to start like Eclipse does, or one that crashes every 30 minutes like Komodo does. Since I'm using different operating systems it can't be platform limited like Visual Studio and hey I appreciate the fact that your vim/emacs can do all that Eclipse does but I don't have 10 years spare to learn all the magic nor I really want to use a command-line text editor 40 years after Apple stole GUI from Xerox.
Sometimes I find myself thinking that I should have become a monk; find myself an isolated cave in Himalayas and spend rest of my life searching for inner peace. Yet they don't have 3G up there so I'll stick to my software engineer career.

About that same time, the dead middle of the Eighties, a Leeds, England, band formed, calling themselves the Wedding Present. They began issuing independently a series of singles that garnered them a spot on a New Musical Express compilation, which brought them U.K. chart action, which helped them land a deal with RCA in England. Then, after RCA in the U.S. dropped them, they signed with First Warning. At the start of 1992, the Wedding Present initiated a project that has them releasing a seven-inch single on the first Monday of every month in the U.K. Each features a new original on the A side and a cover on the flip. "And now they've set a record in Great Britain," reports First Warning's Jerry Liebowitz. "Seven consecutive Top 30 hits over seven months with seven different songs."
Even more interesting is what happens to those other-side-of-the-pond singles upon their release, chartwise. Almost every copy is scooped up by Tuesday, so their mid-week chart numbers are way up there, around number two or three. The end-of-the-week numbers drop, and, because no more copies are available, the song disappears from the chart in the second week of release. First Warning has now compiled the first six of these anomalies and distributed them as the CD Hit Parade 1 in this country. Naturally, there will be a Hit Parade 2 at year's end, when the single-a-month campaign ends.
First Warning is also distributing the Diesel Only label's compilation Rig Rock Jukebox. Organized by a Brooklyn band called the World Famous Blue Jays, Diesel Only issues nothing but 45 rpm vinyl singles intended for jukebox play, all of them exploring truck-driving-related topics. According to reported figures, 36 million of the 40 million singles released annually are consumed by the jukebox industry.
Of course, that leaves four million for individual citizens' home use. A number of labels besides Sup Pop and Diesel Only have calculators in their possession and sense in their heads. Amphetamine Reptile, Regal Select, and Bob Mould's S.O.L. (yes, it stands for Singles Only Label) specialize in the seven-inch configuration. Bellingham, Washington-based Estrus Records issues comic books with soundtrack singles included.
None of this trivia is going to put the CD manufacturers out of business (unfortunately). "Singles are not stronger than they once were," says retailer Rich Ulloa, owner of the Yesterday & Today chain. "Only in a few formats: straight-edge [a form of clean-living punk] records, for example. And with independents the format is stronger than ever. But as far as domestic major labels, everything is cassingle, not vinyl. The indies are different. The really great underground labels do it."
And, on rare occasions, major labels do, too. When Social Distortion began their latest tour on April 11 in Phoenix, Arizona, they brought along a little gift for their fans: a seven-inch single featuring "Cold Feelings" and a live, acoustic version of "Bad Luck." You can't buy it. "No, it was promo only," says Dave Gottlieb, director of alternative music at Epic Records. "They were passing it out at their shows. The reason we did it was that because they've been around since 1979, their roots were with the original punk scene, whose motto was D.I.Y. [do it yourself] -- press your own records. We had tried the same thing with other bands and shouldn't have. But it was appropriate for them and the point they were at in their careers."
Gottlieb says the ploy was jointly decided on by the label and the band's management. At least 10,000 copies were pressed and handed out. "It served two purposes," Gottlieb adds. "It was a) a fans' piece and b) for people who got dragged along to the show, the logic being to give them something, like a seven-inch, that they don't get every day, so maybe they'd make the effort to listen to it."
Any other singles on the Epic release schedule? "We're lucky if we release a vinyl album," Gottlieb says. "Up until three years ago, Epic was still releasing a fair amount of singles. Now they're the rarest of the rare.

The global community has set goals of virtual elimination of new child HIV infections and 50 percent reduction in HIV-related maternal mortality by the year 2015. Although much progress has been made in expanding prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) services, there are serious challenges to these global goals, given low rates of utilization of PMTCT services in many settings. We reviewed the literature from low-income settings to examine how HIV-related stigma affects utilization of the series of steps that women must complete for successful PMTCT. We found that stigma negatively impacts service uptake and adherence at each step of this "PMTCT cascade". Modeling exercises indicate that these effects are cumulative and therefore significantly affect rates of infant HIV infection. Alongside making clinical services more available, effective, and accessible for pregnant women, there is also a need to integrate stigma-reduction components into PMTCT, maternal, neonatal, and child health services.
La comunidad internacional se ha fijado metas de eliminación virtual de las nuevas infecciones por el VIH infantil y una reducción de 50 por ciento en la mortalidad maternal relacionada con el VIH para el año 2015. Aunque se ha avanzado mucho en la expansión de la prevención de la transmisión materno-infantil (PTMI), existen serios desafíos para estos objetivos globales, dada las bajas tasas de utilización de los servicios de prevención en muchos lugares. Revisamos la literatura sobre estes temas en paises de bajos recursos para examinar cómo el estigma afecta a la utilización de una serie de pasos que las mujeres deben completar para una PTMI exitosa. Se encontró que el estigma afecta negativamente la aceptación del servicio y la adherencia en cada paso de la cascada de los servicios de PTMI. Los ejercicios de simulación indican que estos efectos sean acumulativos, y afectan significativamente las tasas de infección por VIH en infantes. Además de hacer que los servicios clínicos son más disponibles, efectivos y accesibles para las mujeres embarazadas, también se necesita integrar componentes de la reducción del estigma en los servicios de la salud maternal, neonatal, infantil, y de PTMI.
