Outstanding Delaware Students Honored
Web Editor
- Published: May 17, 2008
"When you look at the accomplishments of the students in this room, it is clear Widener is on the move," said President Harris to those assembled to honor outstanding students at the Delaware Student Awards Ceremony. The ceremony began with a welcome from acting Dean of Students Patrick Johnston. He introduced Dean Linda Ammons, who noted in her remarks that "Academic excellence is at the core of this institution," before turning the program back over to Dean Johnston.
Dean Ammons presented the Dean's award, which is given to a student who demonstrated outstanding legal aptitude, exemplary service, significant leadership skills, and the potential to become an outstanding member of the legal community, to Gabriela N. Arce de Smith. A graduate of California State University-Bakersfield, Gabriela came to Widener Law in 2005 after working in Camden, NJ, as a Manager for Platform Learning, Inc. She has been on the Dean's List every semester, served as Vice President of the Association of Latin American and Hispanic Students for two years, served on the senior staff of the Delaware Journal of Corporate Law, and volunteered as the student coordinator of the Pro Bono Partnership Program for the Public Interest Research Center this past year.
President Harris gave the President's Award to Bonnie E. Copeland. The President's Award is presented to a student entering his or her final year of law school who in the opinion of the President of Widener University possesses high potential for meaningful contributions to the law school, the community, and the profession. An extended division student, Bonnie has achieved Dean's Honors each semester since beginning law school and is a member of the Moe Levine Trial Advocacy Honor Society. A mother of two, she has volunteered her time to organizations such as the Board of Girls, Inc., of Delaware and the Fund for Women, and has held various managerial positions in Delaware State Senate and Representative races over the past six years.

LMFAO was an American EDM rapper duo consisting of uncle and nephew Redfoo[2] and Sky Blu.[3][4][5] LMFAO are descendants of Motown Records founder Berry Gordy, Jr.. RedFoo and Sky Blu grew up in the affluent Los Angeles neighborhood Pacific Palisades, where they formed the group LMFAO in 2006 and became part of the electro house scene. LMFAO started building a local buzz through their shows and radio play. In 2010, they were featured on David Guetta's smash hit "Gettin' Over You", which charted all over Europe and the U.S., including reaching number one in the UK Singles Chart.
LMFAO were best known for their song "Party Rock Anthem", which reached #1 in the United Kingdom, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Switzerland, and the United States. The song also reached the top five in Italy and Norway. Worldwide, "Party Rock Anthem" was the third best-selling digital single of 2011 with sales of 9.7 million copies; it is also their biggest throughout their career. Following the song's release, LMFAO announced that they were on hiatus.
LMFAO began their career in 2006 as part of the electro house club scene in Los Angeles, which at the time featured DJ/producers like Steve Aoki and Adam Goldstein.[6] The duo started building a local buzz through their shows and radio play.[6] Once they had recorded some demos, Redfoo's best friend will.i.am introduced them to Interscope head Jimmy Iovine who gave the green light for them to be signed to Interscope/will.i.am Music.[6] Interscope A&R and will.i.am manager Neil Jacobson told HitQuarters that the demos sounded like "finished records" and that so little artist development work was needed it was essentially a "turnkey operation" for the label.[6]
LMFAO released Party Rock EP on the iTunes music store on July 1, 2008 and released their full album on July 7, 2009. The album charted at number 33 on the Billboard 200 and number two on the U.S. Dance Chart. Los Angeles Times described Party Rock as "14 virtually interchangeable odes to night life."[7] Their first single was "I'm in Miami Bitch", which was released in December 2008, and peaked at number 51 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 37 in Canada. In early 2009, a little known DJ/producer 'DJ Inphinity' created a bootleg using the Silvio Ecomo remix of DJ Chuckie's 2008 hit "Let the Bass Kick" and the a cappella of LMFAO, creating "Bass Kick in Miami". The bootleg was spread across the internet and became a massive success at the Miami Winter Music Conference 2009. Weeks later the song became the theme song for the E! television show Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami and "Get Crazy" was used for the television show Jersey Shore in 2009. LMFAO were a featured storyline on MTV's The Real World: Cancun in August 2009, which covered the group's appearance in Cancun during 2009 Spring break. That same year, LMFAO was featured in The Crystal Method's song "Sine Language".[8]
In 2010, they were featured in David Guetta's song "Gettin' Over You", which was an international hit, peaking in the top ten in eleven countries and at number one in three of them, including in the United Kingdom. It also peaked at number 31 on the U.S. Hot 100 and at number 12 in Canada.
The duo then recorded their second album, Sorry for Party Rocking late in 2010 and released it on June 17, 2011, in the U.S. The first single taken from the album, "Party Rock Anthem", was released on January 1, 2011. It features British singer Lauren Bennett formerly of the girl pop group Paradiso Girls and producer GoonRock, and showcases the Melbourne Shuffle dance style in its popular video. The song is so far the most successful of their career, peaking at number one in the United States,[9] Canada, the UK, and over ten other countries, as well being in the top ten in many others. The second single from Sorry for Party Rocking, "Champagne Showers", was released on May 27, 2011 and features English singer-songwriter Natalia Kills.[10] The third single, "Sexy and I Know It", was released on October 3, 2011 and reached number one on the iTunes charts worldwide and number one on the Australian and Canadian Hot 100.
Also in 2011, LMFAO embarked on their first Asian tour. They performed in Singapore, Manila in the Philippines, Taipei in Taiwan and Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, among other cities.[11] On June 30, 2011, LMFAO performed a set on the Isle of MTV 2011 Malta Special on the Fosos (Granaries) in Floriana, Malta, in front of a crowd of 50,000, together with Far East Movement and Snoop Dogg.[12]
Furthermore, the group LMFAO focused on growing their Party Rock clothing line and were one of the opening acts for American singer Kesha's "Get Sleazy Tour", along with Spank Rock and Natalia Kills, for the third and fifth legs of the tour in 2011. On August 13, 2011, they opened for Kesha at the St-Jean-sur-Richelieu hot air balloon festival in Quebec, Canada, attracting close to 100,000 fans.
On August 29, 2011, LMFAO filmed a video for their new single "Sexy and I Know It" in Venice Beach, California.[13] Pornographic actor Ron Jeremy is featured in the video, which focuses thematically on male genitalia. Actors Simon Rex and Wilmer Valderrama, playwright Daniel Kanengieter (as Shufflebot) and mixed martial artist Alistair Overeem also make cameo appearances. The song achieved success similar to that of "Party Rock Anthem", topping charts all over the world. "Sexy and I Know It" became the duo's second number one in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The group guested on the first elimination show of the 13th series of Dancing with the Stars on September 20, 2011, which was broadcast live.
In October 2011, LMFAO's song "Party Rock Anthem" was used in a Halloween house light show when a Southern California man timed lights to the popular song. After the YouTube video of the house went viral, even receiving news coverage, the duo visited the house and recorded a Kia commercial featuring the house.[14] In December 2011, the group played "Party Rock Anthem" on live national television broadcast of "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve".
On February 5, 2012, the group appeared with Madonna at the Super Bowl XLVI during the Bridgestone Halftime Show. They performed during her song "Music", which contained a mash-up with "Party Rock Anthem" and "Sexy and I Know It". During the commercial break they also appeared in a Budweiser ad featuring their remix of Madonna's single "Give Me All Your Luvin'", which is included in the video game FIFA Street and the deluxe edition of her album MDNA.[15] Also, in 2012 Redfoo was sued by a previous management company for $7 million, claiming a breach of contract.[16]
On September 21, 2012, the duo released a statement announcing their hiatus. Redfoo said, "I feel like we've been doing this for so long, five or six years" and that he and Sky Blu would not be performing together anytime soon as they would be taking their careers in different directions.[17] Once the news surfaced that band members Redfoo and Sky Blu had split, the group went to MTV News to set the record straight. Sky Blu said, "Well, you know, first of all, we're not breaking up. I know that for sure. We're family and stuff, so it's always love ... It's interesting because somebody will say one thing [and] it's just like high school, then all of a sudden [it's] 'They're breaking up. They're fighting.'"[18] However, it has been revealed by Sky Blu that their plan is for fans to see the band as individuals and then come back stronger than ever.[19]
LMFAO cites a vast range of different influences, such as rappers like Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg, hip hop groups like The Black Eyed Peas, Run D.M.C. and Wu-Tang Clan, R&B artists like James Brown and rock bands such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Steel Panther[20] and Adam Goldstein, better known as DJ AM, who helped introduce them to the Electro music scene.[21] Also, the duo assert Michael Jackson to be their number one inspiration and they have incorporated many of his style and steps into their dance routines. The Australian dance style the Melbourne Shuffle features heavily in the "Party Rock Anthem" videoclip, fused with US hip-hop dance elements. In 2007, LMFAO attended the Winter Music Conference in Miami, Florida, which the duo says was an experience that inspired their musical and creative style.[22]
Redfoo is a former day trader and has been featured on business television CNBC's Mad Money with Jim Cramer.[23]
The Shuffle Bot is a character best known for his appearances in the LMFAO music videos. The Shuffle Bot is portrayed by American disc jockey, dancer, and rapper Andrew Furr, who won an online shuffling contest that promised the winner a place alongside hip-hop dance group Quest Crew who had joined the LMFAO's troupe as winners of a dance contest on MTV's America's Best Dance Crew.
The Shuffle Bot made his first appearance in the 'Yes' music video in 2010. He suddenly became a huge sensation with his unique shuffling style and large cardboard-box helmet made to look like a robot (referring to the name shuffle 'bot'). His head is crafted out of a cardboard box painted gold, with LED lights for eyes, and a helmet constructed into the inside of the box to view out of the "mouth." Many fans have constructed their own box heads for Halloween costumes, conventions (Cosplay) or other occasions.

We're on vacation somewhere in the country, by a lake. The light is hazy, green, as if I were looking at the sky from underwater; the lake, too, is green, surrounded by dense weeds and brambles. My husband and son are playing nearby, shouting to each other. Suddenly I realize – what have I been doing all this time? Why wasn't I watching? – that I can't see my little girl. And I know, with the certainty one has in dreams, that she has fallen in the lake. Shock has rooted me, but I scream for my husband. I know he will be able to do what I can't, to jump in and save her, if only he gets there in time.

Horner: 'Vettel knows his place in the team'
© Red Bull Racing, Getty Images
12 April 2013 by TF1T Staff | M | Tweet
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner doesn't believe Sebastian Vettel's decision to ignore team orders in Malaysia has undermined his leadership.
The Briton is also adamant that the 25-year-old knows and understands his place within the team, despite what people outside may think.
"I don't think Seb for a moment thinks he runs the team. He knows we employ him - and he knows why we employ him.
"In that race he didn't do as I asked," said Horner on Friday. "Was I happy? No. Did he apologise? Yes. Has he learned? Yes. Would he do it again? He explained yesterday - but there is history between those two drivers.
"It is not something new, it has been there for four/five years. They are one of the most successful partnerships in F1 history.
"Is my leadership undermined? I don't think so.
"I have led the team from the time Red Bull entered to the sport to those three titles, there have been lumps and bumps along the way, but they drive the team forward."
Horner is now looking to move on from the events in Malaysia.
"What has happened has happened, we cannot change it, we cannot go back," he added. "It is question of looking forward, at this event, and the next 16 events."

These are just a few samples; there are many others. All told, next to nobody that matters is paying attention to the Defense Department's absurd social media campaign. An FVAP insider told me that FVAP has devoted significant taxpayer resources to this internet folly. Meanwhile, FVAP scrambles to spin a story of success at odds with the data.
The DOJ isn't the only place where any incoming Romney administration needs to clean house. FVAP is currently run by an interim director. That makes it easy for the next secretary of Defense to install new leadership that has both experience running elections as well as experience wearing the uniform. If that doesn't happen, this bi-annual catastrophe will taint 2014 midterm elections as well as any 2016 presidential reelection.

For 22 years of active duty service, a unit officer was appointed as the Voting Officer. Usually, the newbie Butter Bar…. He had to answer to a commanding officer–that had input to his report card. This isn't hard and we don't need a $100M office to make it happen. We need a leader in the Pentagon who isn't wasting his time calling preachers in Florida. Hold the chain of command responsible. It is their job! If they are unable to do their job, then ya just have to let 'em go…..Dempsey needs to go!

That's one dead nail, jimd – you hit it squarely on the head. As one of those 'newbie butter bars' that was the unit voting officer, it was made very clear to me by my commander that the duty was equal in importance to my primary duty. Party affiliation mattered not – everyone was to be contacted and assisted as required. I enjoyed the job and continued to volunteer to do it until told that I needed to give more junior officers the opportunity to excel.
Your closing statement is also spot on. Leadership starts at the top, and until we get non-political officers in senior command positions I'm afraid those days I knew about 20 years ago are to be just a fond memory.

You are absolutely correct. I was a Squadron Commander in the AF….we were measured on everything. If the Squadron Commander put an emphasis on the voting access and rights, then his/her team heeded it. Everyone's job and 'report cards' depended on the metrics. So to me, there is a easy fix….do it like the CFC – have positive contact between the Voting Assistance action officer (or NCO) be an officially measured item for the Commander. You can't force them to vote, but you can measure whether or not they've been contacted about what they have available to them to vote. You could even measure follow-up contacts.
This would save a lot of money – you wouldn't need the FVAP head guy flying around to receptions. You would hold the commanders responsible and discipline as necessary…..

I can also attest to what's been written on this thread. Eight years in the USAF during the '80s. Every unit had a contact person for voting assistance (junior officer in large units, senior NCO in smaller units). I always got the help I needed to get an absentee ballot or register in the county where I was stationed.
Leave it to the government to take something simple and make it impossibly complicated.

What is needed is a revision of the law, where the offenders go to prison without possibility if parole or pardon.

I have just one problem with this article, sir: Your description of the deliberate mass suppression of military voters in every single election since 1996 as "a mistake". There's nothing "mistaken" about it. Military voters tend to be Conservatives. The very last thing the Dhimmiecrats want is a large bloc of Conservative voters who actually know what's going on in the Middle East to have any voice at all.

Since you've picked the nit, I also never said "suppression" of military voter. Voter "suppression" is largely a term used inappropriately by those who use it. So I don't.

Oh,yes. The way to get the military on board is to call in the Joint Chiefs of Staff and say make this happen as if your careers depend on it! Because they do!

Panetta runs the Pentagon. I am not surprised at the inaction. What is the state of Romney's sut against Wisconsin? Does he have a chance of winning it? (This could/should also be an issue in Oh, Iowa, Pa, and Colo)

That slimeball Panetta has been saying one thing while doing the opposite his whole scummy, corrupt career.
The perfect Defense Secretary for Ostupidhead.
He can't do anything because he "lacks funding", yet jets home every weekend, in a private jet, on your dime. I'm so glad the military is cutting back and going green, aren't you? Remember that when you're freezing in the dark this winter.

Disgraceful. Thank you for your reporting.
I offer a minor correction. Even though the Chinese internal energy arts can be spelled multiple ways, i.e. "qigong" or "chi kung", I have never seen it spelled as above, "quigong". The Twitter marketer used "qigong".

What we need is a waiver of all Federal and State income, property and payroll taxes until the next election for every service member whose vote isn't counted. It only matters if it costs them money.
This isn't new. Jimmy Carter had been elected for three days when my absentee ballot showed up.

obama's disenfranchisement of military voters is still running full speed ahead. I'm sure libs will say it's not that many votes but if their vote isn't counted, how do they know how many "non-votes" this represents. I'm sure they will release a report……..

If it's no big deal because it's only a few votes, then I guess it's no big deal if a few Democrats can't get photo IDs in order to be able to vote in time for election day. After all, if it's good enough for the military, who sheds sweat and blood for our sake, it's good enough for city-dwellers who don't.

FEW should have any doubt left, as to the intentions of the Radical-in-Chief and his Racialist AG.
When they are not busy stirring up racial divisions, they work towards labeling – one way or another – right wing patriots as terror threats.
On the other hand, when military personnel are gunned down by Islamists serving in the military – and out of uniform too – the lawbreaking duo can't bring to bear ANY proper outrage. Moreover, when the Black Panthers are caught inciting to murder 'whitey', as well as committing menacing acts against voters, if they do not vote for the Thug-in-Chief, the AG is mute. The list/indictment goes on.
So, the fact that military personnel are getting the shaft via voting, is of piece with their anti-American game plans.
Parasites who empower American's foes, but treat American heroes/patriots as the enemy are capable of anything – http://adinakutnicki.com/2012/10/01/u-s-heroes-are-targeted-under-the-thuggish-reign-of-barack-hussein-obama-addendum-to-lt-colonel-lakin-a-hero-a-role-model-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki/
The thugs in charge of the People' House,as well as the entire legal system, are beyond dangerous. They are lethal.

My Senator form Texas, Sen. John "Strongly Worded Letter" Cornyn wrote the Move Act and he is very proud of it. Pats himself on the back every chance he gets. However, if you call his office and ask what,if anything, he is doing to defend his legislation or the votes of the military, all you get is the " I wrote a strongly worded…"
Sen. Cornyn has both written and passed more than one law that places more power in Holder's hands. I don't know if Sen Cornyn hopes to one day be the head of the DOJ or if he is too busy spouting off as head of the Republican Senatorial Committee. What he should be planning is his reelection considering that he will most certainly be primaried.October 19, 2012 - 12:24 pm Link to this Comment | Reply-
Yet, Cornyn approved Holder. Even though he knew he had a soft spot for terrorists. John Cornyn has lost credibility. He should have known with Holder's past, what would happen. He did it, I assume because the big, bad, media monsters, would come and get him.

It seems that the Justice Dept, and current administration are more concerned in letting non-documented, unidentified individuals to vote over us military members who have sacrificed so much for our country.
One main reason many military members tend to be more conservative is simply this:

On the other hand, from this bunch who is on record for calling the Constitution "some old fogies' super-annuated piece of paper", or words to this effect, who has aided and abetted voter fraud under the pretext of "voter-empowerment" (voter ID laws negated or suppressed), what else did we expect?
If Romney/Ryan do win by a slim margin, it will in fact have been more like a land-slide, only nobody will know how much. — These Admin. people are crooks, from the top down. Thanks for standing up to them, calling things as you see them!

They don't want ordinary citizens to show pix ID, but the men & women who are putting their lives on the line for this country & all of us, they don't deserve a vote?
What is the matter with the generals? Why don't they grow a pair & refuse to send their men/women out until they get their ballots?

i believe i have found the dem's playbook, it reads:
1. do/say something absolutely stupid w/terrible potential ramifications – for some stupid (or criminal) political point
2. when found out, lie about it, try to spin it
3. when the lie is discovered, lie some more, then try to cover it up
4. when nobody believes that lie either, say or do something just as stupid as evidence of the first stupidity, then lie some more.
optional – deny, deny, deny, and if the crime trail starts heading up the ladder too far, scream executive privilege
of course, all the way through, the msm cheering section must be pushing the same lies, or not reporting it at all. you also need the dense/simple minded (like most of hollywood) to follow along like sheeple.
some recent examples:
1. fast & furious
2. voters are hurt by having to have i.d. (this one is so stoopid i still get a laugh out of it) too bad they all aren't funny.
3. libyan debacle
4. shameful behavior in trying to screw up military votingthis appears to be the limits of their playbook. of course, common crimes like fraud, cheating, and destroying evidence are notes in the margins on each page. makes one wonder what other stoopid sinister slimy stuff lies ahead for us.

I can't say if my voting process was at all normal, but I am exactly who this article is talking about. US Servicemember stationed overseas in hostile remote location.
I can only speak anecdotally but the voter assistance program here worked just fine for me, and for the few who I know have also voted. We didn't have any kind of 'office' set up. An officer within the battalion was named voter assistance rep and was tasked with putting the word out.
Honestly I didn't even need their help, just the website. FVAP.GOV. I applied for my ballot with home of record, and in a few days they e mailed it to me. I printed it out and mailed it back. All in all it was very easy.

First, my compliments to your bravery, honor and dedication, Mr. Adams.
But isn't the amount of money a thousand times greater than "75-large?" Isn't 75-large 75 thousand dollars? Wasn't the budgetary allotment 75 Million dollars?

Nope. On the day I wrote the article, large means million. Couldn't be otherwise becuase you can't use thousand and large in the same line when talking about the feds. But I am always amazed at the nits picked.

26 year Marine here, yes there is a voting assistance officer but that alone does not ensure your absentee ballot is being counted. They are sent in bulk normally to the appropriate state ballot office but there is no evidence the ballots are not simply shredded. I am in favor of electronic voting for military personnel, on base, on election day. (This would also increase participation, something we should all wish to increase) It isn't as though the technology does not exist, the issue is, along with positive ID electronic voting would reduce the possibility of fraud. Commanders could ensure every member had the opportunity to vote regardless of shift or duty station. Military members have no issues with presenting photo ID to vote so fraud on military bases would be non-existent. Dependents also have ID. I will call on Romney's administration to fix this. Let the military lead by example.

The Ruth McKennon Family Home PageUpdated November 26, 2000 |
I am researching my ELROD and KEITH lines from North Georgia and other Southeastern states. I am also researching my husband's MCKENNON lines. My biggest challenge is finding information on my husband's lines. His great-grandfather is Glen MCKENNON (b: 1885 in Almont, MI). Glen's father is John Frank MCKENNON (b: 1856 or possibly 1857 in Rochester, NY). John Frank went by the name Frank during his lifetime. Frank's death certificate lists John MCKENNON (b: Scotland) as his father. His mother is Isabel MOFFET. John and Isabel do not appear in the 1850 Rochester census. Rochester birth certificates to not go as far back as 1856. In 1860, Isabel is apparently widowed and a housekeeper in Charles Morton's household. Isabel married (re-married?) Charles Morton in 1885. Any information or leads on this line would be appreciated. I am willing to share information on any of these lines. |

The little group of believers sang a song as they walked toward the river just outside the small village in western Cameroon. As they neared the river, a wild-eyed woman ran toward them brandishing a cutlass. "Get out of here!" she shouted. "This place belongs to my ancestors, and you'll not practice your witchcraft here!" She waved the cutlass above her head for emphasis.
The group of Adventists stopped, fearing what the woman might do. I stepped in front of the believers and walked toward the woman. "The river doesn't belong to one person," I told her gently. "And we aren't practicing witchcraft. We're here to baptize some new believers."
I realized that this woman must have been the one who had destroyed the baptismal area that I had arranged the day before. I had piled rocks in the swift-flowing river to provide a quiet pond in which to perform the baptism. Then I'd covered the path with palm fronds and flowers to make it look festive. How disappointed I was when I returned to the river just before sundown the evening before to find the stones knocked over and the palm fronds and flowers pulled out of the ground.
The woman's shouts brought me back to the present. Was it safe to go ahead with the baptism? Or would this woman injure someone as she was threatening to do? I wondered. I scanned the faces of those who had come to be baptized into the Adventist Church. I knew that they would be disappointed if we had to postpone the baptism.
A crowd was forming to see who was shrieking. In spite of the woman's threats I decided that we must go ahead with the baptism. I prayed and then stepped to the water's edge. The baptismal candidates lined up on the shore just out of reach of the woman's cutlass. The singing resumed as the woman continued shouting insults at us.
Then she splashed into the water and raised the cutlass above her head. Once more I spoke to her. "Your ancestors did not make this river," I said. "God made it when He created the world. And He has commanded His children to share His love with everyone."
The woman stopped shouting and looked at me. I felt God's power urging me to continue with the baptism. As I stepped into the water, the woman dropped her cutlass. I picked it up and gave it to an elder standing on the shore. The woman stood silent in the water as if she was frozen in place.
One by one I baptized the new believers as the woman and the villagers watched. When the last one was baptized, we all walked up the hill a short way. A church elder saw that the woman who had threatened us seemed to be rooted in the water, so he carefully helped her out of the river.
When the church members knelt to pray, the troublemaker knelt too. "Please be with this woman and change her heart," I prayed, not knowing how she would react to my prayer. When the prayer ended, we stood, and the pastor holding the woman's cutlass gave it back to her. An uneasy silence spread through the crowd. Would the woman again become agitated? Would she try to attack us?
"Please forgive me for what I have done," she said quietly.
Surprised at her response, I asked, "May I visit you?"
"Yes," she said.
I learned that the woman's name was Hada. A local elder and I began visiting Hada, and soon she began attending the church. One day not too long after we first met at the river, Hada walked into the same river to celebrate her own baptism.
Hada didn't go alone that day. Others with whom she had shared her new faith walked with her. They, too, wanted to join God's family by baptism. Hada had found God's love and shared it freely with everyone she met.
The church in that little village has grown to more than 40 members. They have shared God's love with people in a nearby village, where now another company has been started.
God turned a threat into a blessing and a woman's hard heart into one softened by His love. Our mission offerings help establish new congregations of believers in difficult places in Africa and around the world. Thank you for giving so others can see God's hand in their lives. ⎭

Pricing managers assist with the accounting and pricing aspects of their organization. They work with the accounting staff, vendors, and employees to manage department workflow. This includes monitoring price and market movements, compliance with regulations and policies, and the control of associated risks. It also includes formulating and executing pricing policy changes in compliance with industry standards, analyzing price changes, troubleshooting processes, supporting audits, and conducting pricing optimization.
Read More...Survey results imply that Pricing Managers put a diverse skill set to use. Most notably, skills in Financial Analysis, Data Analysis, Set Pricing Levels, and Pricing are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts in pay of 4 percent. The majority of those who know Data Analysis also know Microsoft Excel.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
The average beginner in this position makes around $68K, but folks who have been around for five to 10 years see a markedly higher median salary of $84K. On average, Pricing Managers make $96K following one to two decades on the job. Survey respondents who have worked for more than 20 years actually report somewhat lower incomes of $93K.
Pricing Managers will find that San Francisco offers an impressive pay rate, one which exceeds the national average by 35 percent. Pricing Managers will also find cushy salaries in Philadelphia (+33 percent), Raleigh (+25 percent), Houston (+24 percent), and Washington (+22 percent). One of the biggest compensable factors for Pricing Managers is geography, with workers in Denver earning a whopping 21 percent below the national average. Employers in Phoenix and Seattle also lean toward paying below-median salaries (9 percent lower and 5 percent lower, respectively).

Man was Arrested as He Brought Three Brazilian Citizens Across Border from Canada
RENATO SOARES DE ALMEIDA, a/k/a, Renato De Almeida-Soraes, 25, a citizen of Brazil, was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Seattle to 5 months in prison for bringing aliens into the United States. SOARES DE ALMEIDA was arrested March 19, 2009 in Sumas, Washington as he attempted to lead three other Brazilian citizens into the U.S. from Canada. At sentencing U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour said SOARES DE ALMEIDA would likely be deported to Brazil following his prison term.
According to the documents filed in the case, around 9:00 p.m. on March 19, 2009, remote sensors alerted Border Patrol agents that a group of people had passed over the border from Canada into the United States near the Sumas River. A search of the area turned up four Brazilian nationals – three men and one woman. SOARES DE ALMEIDA admitted with his guilty plea on April 29, 2009, that he was leading the group across the border to pay off the debt he owed to the person who arranged for him to be smuggled across. SOARES DE ALMEIDA told investigators that he had a $5,000 smuggling debt to a person in Canada. SOARES DE ALMEIDA had paid off most of the debt by leading people across the border both north and south. With this trip he would have paid off his smuggling debt. As in previous smuggling episodes, SOARES DE ALMEIDA planned to call a taxi to pick up the group when they arrived in downtown Sumas.
The case was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following the apprehension by the U.S. Border Patrol.
The case was prosecuted by Special Assistant United States Attorney John Odell. Mr. Odell is an attorney employed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who is specially designated to prosecute immigration matters in federal court.

Montreal writer Linda Leith created LLP in June 2011, six months after leaving Blue Metropolis Foundation. As the founder and artistic director of Blue Metropolis Montreal International Literary Festival for more than twelve years, she had the unique privilege of bringing some of the world's best writers to Montreal – among them Mavis Gallant, Carlos Fuentes, A.B. Yehoshua, Norman Mailer, A.S. Byatt, and Alaa al Aswany. As owner of LLP, she is delighted to have the opportunity to bring some of Canada's best writers to the world.
LLP is a trade publisher specializing in literary fiction, non-fiction, our innovative short Singles essays, and occasionally cartoons. We have a special love of short books – novella-length fiction and the kinds of essays you can still find in the pages of The New Yorker but not too many other places – and edgy topics, but what we love most are good books that might not see the light of day if it were not for LLP. In addition to publishing books -- currently 6-8 titles annually -- LLP also publishes the internationally respected online magazine Salon .ll. on its website in both English and French.
This is a publishing programme of great quality, making the world a better place, one book at a time, and it has made LLP's one of the most exciting launches on the literary publishing scene in recent years. Within three years of launching its first books, authors of LLP books have won or been nominated for no fewer than ten different national and international honours and prizes. We have attracted the attention of Publishers Weekly, Times Literary Supplement, Maclean's, Quill & Quire, The Globe & Mail, The Toronto Star, The Gazette, CBC Radio's The Sunday Edition, Montreal Review of Books and other media, and we are now launching into publishing selected books internationally in print editions and, thanks to a Canada Council Leadership for Change grant, actively exploring the practicality of publishing books in French, as well as English. l
LLP First Novels
LLP is proud to include half a dozen first novels in its fiction list, as well as second novels by several of those whose first books it had already published. Every single one of those first novels has been honoured with prize nominations or wins. They include:
Daniel Goodwin, author of Sons and Fathers (2014).
Connie Guzzo-McParland, author of The Girls of Piazza d'Amore (2013);
Jennifer Quist, author of Love Letters of the Angels of Death (2013); LLP will publish Quist's second novel, Sistering, in Fall 2015.
Peter Kirby, author of The Dead of Winter (2012) and Vigilante Season (2013). The third in the Luc Vanier series of crime novels will appear in Fall 2015.
Felicia Mihali, author of The Darling of Kandahar (2012) and A Second Chance (2014); these are the first two novels the multilingual Mihali has written in English.
LLP Singles Essays
In an era when the long-form magazine article is threatened by the demise of many periodicals--and when changes in the publishing industry favour the production of essays under separate cover, LLP has from the outset to publish Singles essays on issues of current interest, in print and digital formats. These titles include:
The Bells of Memory: A Palestinian Boyhood in Jerusalem, by Issa J. Boullata (2014, 96 pages);
A Green Reef: The Impact of Climate Change, by Stephen Henighan (2013, 56 pages);
Saving the CBC: Balancing Profit and Public Service, by Wade Rowland (2013, 142 pages);
Clerks of the Passage, by Abou Farman (2012, 154 pages); and
Keeping the Public in Public Education, by Rick Salutin (2012, 64 pages).
We invite you to explore this website, where you can read short essays by Linda Leith and other writers on Salon .ll., find out about Leith and her own books, check out news and reviews of all LLP titles, and purchase a print copy or download an electronic copy of one of our books.
"One of the opportunities in this brave new world is the ability to experiment with non-traditional formats and manuscript length." -- Linda Leith in the Toronto Star, May 9th, 2012.
"This new world invites us to be imaginative and innovative." -- Linda Leith in Publishers Weekly, April 26, 2012
Linda Leith's fledgling indie literary publishing house has "already established a uniformly high standard" -- Ian McGillis, The Gazette, Dec 19, 2013.
Vigilante Season, by Peter Kirby, is "a novel that delivers more nuance than is typical for its genre, a promising follow-up to 2012's lauded The Dead of Winter." -- Publishers Weekly
Love Letters of the Angels of Death: Philip Marchand in The National Post describes Jennifer Quist's as a "powerfully emotional novel" with "great tenderness between Caroline and her husband" and was one of The Edmonton Journal's top 5 bestsellers (after Lynn Coady, Alice Munro -- two titles -- and Joseph Boyden.
The Girls of Piazza d'Amore was shortlisted for the QWF Best First Book Prize. Connie Guzzo-McParland's "characters are vivid, and her descriptions of place, customs, clothing, and food are evocative and memorable. The stunning tale of a "marriage by proxy" ... highlights the tension between the customs of the old world and the unknown future that awaits immigrants in their new home." -- Publishers Weekly.
Saving the CBC, by Wade Rowland (Singles essay), has now been proven prescient by recent news about the CBC and Hockey Night in Canada. "The short polemical book is a fascinating read." -- John Doyle, The Globe and Mail.
Singles title A Green Reef: The Impact of Climate Change, by Stephen Henighan, bought from Alouette Verlag (Hamburg): "Henighan's short volume ranges over the causes, prognoses and ethics of a warming world. Throughout the book, there is constant alarm at humanity's lack of alarmism." -- Times Literary Supplement review, November 8th, 2013, p. 27.

The Gazette article, written by Victor Swoboda, also appeared April 13th in the Edmonton Journal and the Dallas News, and on April 18th on Top News Today.
For Immediate Release: Atwood, Polley attend launch of Linda Leith Publishing
Toronto (April 10, 2012) Linda Leith, founder and former artistic director of the Blue Metropolis International Literary Festival celebrated the launch of her new literary press in Toronto on Thursday night with Keeping the Public in Public Education by Rick Salutin, drawing luminaries such as Margaret Atwood, Graeme Gibson, Sarah Polley, Charles Pachter, Howard Engel and Dusan Petricic to an event at the University of Toronto. Also in attendance were journalists Warren Clements and Erica Ritter, Toronto Star editorial page editor Andrew Phillips, and agent Bruce Westwood, President of Westwood Creative Artists.
Hosted by John Fraser at Massey College, and presented in association with Annie Kidder of People for Education, the event celebrated both the launch of a new Canadian publishing house and the challenge to public education at a time when the entire public sector "dares not speak its name."
Fraser, in opening remarks, quipped that in publishing Salutin in his first issue of Saturday Night, he succeeded unequivocally in demonstrating his magazine wasn't a voice-piece for [then owner] Conrad Black. Kidder praised Salutin as one of Canada's great thinkers, demonstrating that the conversation about public institutions (in Ontario and elsewhere) is exciting, necessary and rife with possibility.
Salutin's book, a trenchant defense of teachers in the public system, is the first in the LLP SINGLES series, a pioneering series of provocative shorts (essays under 100 pages in length). LLP SINGLES meet the challenge of the digital age, says Leith, "short enough to be read in a sitting -- and long enough to develop a provocative argument."
Leith describes her publishing mandate as "telling truths"; naming her specialties as SINGLES, literary fiction and political satire, including two upcoming books of political cartoons, one by popular Montreal Gazette cartoonist Aislin (Terry Mosher) and the other edited by him. She describes herself as publishing in the romantic tradition of underground pamphlets and samizdat publishing – priding herself on books that might not otherwise see the light of day.
In the new digital world, she says, their commercial potential is uninhibited, and bestsellers will come from unexpected corners. The LLP publishing experience, Salutin adds, is one of the best he's had in his career to date.
Leith's stated intention with literary fiction (she is a novelist herself) is to introduce edgy new voices and styles to an international readership. Award-winning novelist and biographer Charlie Foran describes the LLP vision as "intrepid and lively and interesting."
Linda Leith Publishing will officially launch in Quebec City this week at Festival Imagination and Blue Metropolis on April 20th, introducing the SINGLES series and The Darling of Kandahar by Romanian-Canadian Felicia Mihali, whose style Leith likens to Quebec writer Marie-Claire Blais and Canadian Nancy Huston, who writes in French and English. (See press releases for both books attached.)
As the founder of Montreal's internationally renowned literary festival, Linda Leith has a cosmopolitan vision. During her tenure, Blue Metropolis became the largest and most diverse of Canada's festivals, offering events in a multitude of languages, attracting writers from all over the world, and granting lifetime achievement awards to Norman Mailer, Mavis Gallant, Carlos Fuentes, Margaret Atwood, Alaa Al Aswani, Amitav Ghosh and A.S. Byatt, among others.
LLP buys world rights, publishes in both English and French, in both physical and ebook format. Canadian and US sales are handled by the Literary Press Group, ebook distribution by eBound Canada.

Robin's Healthy Take: Healthier Chips
by Robin Miller in Robin's Healthy Take, March 5, 2012Everyone loves chips. The salt. The crunch. The flavor. What most people don't love is the fat, calories and guilt that go along with most chips. Fried chips, that is. I've been baking chips for years and everyone adores them. I've also been changing up flavor combinations and wanted to share my three favorites. First, my kale chips; crisp and light with a touch of crunchy sea salt. Next, I coat my sweet potato chips with maple syrup and kosher salt, which creates a wonderful contrast of sweet and salty in every bite. Last, my Yukon gold chips. I add curry for its warmth and distinct flavor. Enjoy every chip without guilt and then send me YOUR favorite chip recipes!
Sea Salted Kale Chips
1 bunch fresh kale, rinsed well and patted dry
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, preferably coarse sea salt

Arrange kale on a large baking sheet, in a single layer and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake 12-15 minutes, until leaves are crisp and golden brown around the edges.

Podcast: New site helps calculate what college you can afford
A student finance Web site goes beyond just tallying tuition and room and board, putting parents or students through a questionnaire to find the true costs of a college.
StudentAid.com is far from the first Web site to help parents or would-be college students learn about how much schools cost. But at the end of the day, it's not just the price-tag that matters, it's what you actually have to pay out of your own pocket after factoring in available financial aid.
The new site, according to Craig Carroll, CEO of parent company Rezolve Group, provides more depth and specificity than other sites by having parents or students fill out a detailed questionnaire that helps determine what colleges they can actually afford after considering all available resources.
Carroll spoke with Larry Magid a few days before the site's launch.

Obama expected to assure South Korea of US protection from the North
South Korean President Lee Myung Bak arrives in Washington today seeking a guarantee of American nuclear defense from possible North Korean aggression.
Alex Brandon/AP
South Korean President Lee Myung Bak expects President Obama to give a written assurance of the continuity of the US nuclear umbrella over northeast Asia when they meet Tuesday at the White House.
South Korean sources say Mr. Lee has been pressing hard for this assurance of protection in the face of escalating North Korean threats – and reported signs of North Korean preparations for a third underground nuclear test.
Lee, arriving in Washington on Monday, is expected to place the need for a guarantee of American nuclear defense of the region at the top of an agenda as he meets with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Defense Secretary Robert Gates before seeing Mr. Obama.
South Korea seeking commitment
US and South Korean officials are reported to have already worked out the wording of what is expected to be a joint statement by the two presidents in which they stress the North Korean threat and US capability of deterring nuclear weapons in a showdown.
The statement will not use the term "nuclear umbrella," according to South Korean sources, but will refer to the need for continued "nuclear deterrence." That term, besides covering US nuclear strength, could also include the capability of US destroyers equipped with Aegis-class countermissile systems to shoot down missiles tipped with weapons of mass destruction, whether nuclear, biological, or chemical.

30 Days of Night Archives - Page 2 of 2 - Robot 6 @ Comic Book Resources
Food or Comics? | This week's comics on a budget
Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy on Wednesday based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a "Splurge" item.
Check out Diamond's release list or ComicList if you'd like to play along in our comments section.
Graeme McMillan
If I had $15 this week, I'd immediately go for Flashpoint #1 (DC Comics, $3.99) – I am very, very unsure about the number of tie-ins DC are pushing out for the new crossover event, but with Geoff Johns in charge, I'm suspecting that the main book will be worth a look at least. I'd also grab the relaunched GI Joe #1 (IDW, $3.99), if only to follow up on the "Cobra Civil War" storyline that I admit has completely caught my attention unexpectedly. Curiosity would also get me to pick up both Moriarty #1 (Image, $2.99) and Total Recall #1 (Dynamite, $1.99), two new launches that will hopefully take familiar ideas and characters in directions I wouldn't expect…
30 Days of Night returns in May
Kevin noted last September that IDW is launching a new 30 Days of Night series, and here it is: The first issue of 30 Days of Night: Night Again is listed in the March Previews for a May release.
Horror writer Joe Lansdale and artist Sam Kieth (The Maxx) are taking over the series, which was created by Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith and was the bases for two feature films and countless spinoffs. In the original, published in 2002, vampires came to Alaska to take advantage of the 30-day-long night of the Arctic winter, using it for a prolonged feeding frenzy. In 30 Days of Night: Night Again, a group of survivors comes to an Alaskan research facility, where scientists are puzzling over a strange object found in the ice. It's probably safe to say that bloody carnage results.
The press release is deliberately vague, but IDW editor-in-chief Chris Ryall shows off some of Davide Furno's variant covers at his blog that hint at the nature of the story.
Joe R. Lansdale and Sam Kieth to enter 30 Days of Night
IDW Publishing will launch a new 30 Days of Night series next spring by author Joe R. Lansdale and artist Sam Kieth.
The comic, announced this morning in a very brief statement on the publisher's Formspring account, will be at least the 13th title spun out of the popular 2002 miniseries by Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith.
In the original, which was the basis for the 2007 film, vampires flock to Barrow, Alaska, where the sun sets for about 30 days, allowing them to feed on the residents. Although several of the sequels, such as Dark Days and Return to Barrow, center on the city or the survivors of the attacks, others are expansions of the "30 Days universe." A six-issue X-Files/30 Days of Night crossover, by Niles, Adam Jones and Tom Mandrake, debuted from WildStorm in July.
Lansdale is an award-winning author known for his "Hap and Leonard" series of mystery novels, the novella Bubba Ho-Tep and comics like Jonah Hex: Riders of the Worm and Such, Conan and the Songs of the Dead, and Pigeons from Hell. He also wrote episodes of Batman: The Animated Series and Superman: The Animated Series, as well as the screenplay to the animated DC Showcase: Jonah Hex.
Kieth is best known for his comic turned animated series The Maxx, Zero Girl, Batman/Lobo: Deadly Serious and Arkham Asylum: Madness. He provided a variant cover for The X-Files/30 Days of Night #1.
C2E2 | A roundup of day three news
The first-ever C2E2 — Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo — is all but over, and no doubt Brigid and Michael will have more to say about the whole experience here soon. For now, here's a roundup of news and info coming out of various panels from today, to go with our roundups from Friday and Saturday.
- The X-Men vs. vampires storyline, whose teaser last week set off Ultimate Avengers writer Mark Millar, will run in a relaunched adjective-less X-Men title by novelist Victor Gischler and artist Paco Medina. Gischler, who fans know from his work on Punisher and Deadpool for Marvel, is no stranger to vampires, having written the novel Vampire a Go Go. "It's going to be a nice fresh look at vampires," Gischler told Marvel.com about his first story arc in the new title. "I think people are going to be pretty impressed." The series begins in July.
- September brings another new X-title, as X-23 gets her own solo series written by Marjorie Liu, who wrote the recent X-23 one-shot. "X-23 is a loner at heart, but she's been forced into a team setting for quite some time now," Liu told Comic Book Resources. "A pack, if you will. And those conflicting instincts to be alone – and with others – will continue to tug at her. So yes, there will be a rotating supporting cast – a couple of former X-Men who, against their better judgment, will try to mentor Laura. Or at least, be there for her when she needs mentoring. That won't be without conflict, though – physical and emotional."
- Wolverine: Weapon X will be replaced by a new Wolverine title by Jason Aaron and Renato Guedes, with covers by Jae Lee. In it, Wolverine goes to Hell. "His soul goes to Hell, and we're going to see what happens when he's not around to be in control of his own body," said editor Jenine Schaefer. The first issue ships in September. Meanwhile, the former Wolverine title, now called Dark Wolverine, will get another title change, as it becomes Daken: Dark Wolverine in September. Liu, Daniel Way and Giuseppe Camuncoli will remain as the creative team.
