Neale won the race and won the 800 two days later to pick up two more state championships to cap her high school running career.

Amy-Eloise Neale of Glacier Peak leads in the 3a state championship race at Sun Willows Golf Course in Pasco Saturday. Neale finished first in her race taking home her third 3A state title.
Amy-Eloise Neale is always running.
Whether it's at the Washington state track and field championships, an international championship in Poland or to her next class at Glacier Peak High School, Neale is usually at the front of the pack.
In the past four years she has won seven state track and field titles, three state cross country individual championships and led the Grizzlies to three team titles as well. Recently she competed for Great Britain in the 2013 IAAF World Cross Country junior championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland and finished 21st overall, helping the British team to a third-place finish as the junior women's team collected the first medal in its history.

And if that wasn't enough, the 2012 Gatorade Washington Girls Track Athlete of the Year maintained a 4.0 grade point average while doing it, making her the valedictorian for her class at Glacier Peak.
Neale, who will continue her illustrious running career at the University of Washington, holds three Washington Interscholastic Athletics Association state records in track and field. Not surprisingly, it's the three distance events: the 800-, 1,600- and 3,200-meter runs.
Her incredible career, which is rivaled only by her academic record, earned Neale the Class of 2013 Girl Athlete of the Year award. Herald writer David Krueger recently caught up with Neale, something not a lot of people have been able to do, to discuss the past four years and what's next:
What was the top moment of your high school career? Or, I guess, the last four years?
My top moments running with my high school were probably at state cross country state this past year and state track this past year, because my team did really well. Overall, it would probably be when I ran in the cross country championships in Poland. It was really exciting and the team did really well.
Is it tough flying across the world and then having to run a race every time you land?
I struggled for a couple weeks this track season switching back to track from cross country. And the travel had an effect on me. I was exhausted from all of it. But it was a lot of fun.
Are you sick of running yet?
No. Obviously there are days when you don't feel like going to practice. But I haven't had one of those in a long time and you just know you're going to regret it if you don't go. Honestly, it keeps me sane getting to run through problems and it relieves tension or stress. It helps me manage everything else.
With all your running, how did you have time to keep a 4.0 GPA and be valedictorian?
In all honesty, I don't have time. Academics have always been really important to me. My parents have always stressed academics are going to last longer than your running. You never know if you'll get injured or when your career will end. I just really tried to budget my time well. I actually have no idea how I did it, but I'm excited to start next year (in college) not being completely stressed out about grades.
What will you miss most about high school?
Definitely the people. I'm glad to be done with the actual school aspect of it, but there's definitely some people that I'm going to miss and some really great teachers that have been really supportive over the last four years. Luckily, one of my best friends is going with me to Washington.
What are your future plans?
The European championship trials. I (left Wednesday) morning and those are in England on Sunday and if I qualify for that I go on to the European Championship in Italy in July. Then the next few years at U-Dub I'll just figure it out as it goes. Hopefully run some steeple(chase). I've been doing that this season and having a lot of fun. I'll just take it as it comes.
When can we expect to see you in the Olympics? Is 2016 too soon? Is that a goal you have?
It's unlikely in 2016. The big dream is to get to the Olympics one day. So I definitely wouldn't count it out. I wouldn't say it's likely, necessarily. You never know when it's going to happen. Maybe one day I'll be there. I just have to focus on now and what I can do and hopefully I stay injury free and we'll just kind of see what happens.
For the athletes of the year, the top five vote-getters in the fan vote were combined with a staff pick and pared down to a top four before a winner was chosen. Besides Amy-Eloise Neale, the three athletes below were in the final four of the Class of 2013 Girl Athlete of the Year:
Ariel Jensen, Lakewood
Jensen overcame a rare blood disease idiopathic aplastic anemia to compete in three different sports throughout her high school career: cross country, track and soccer. Aided by a friend, Charnie Dondrea, Jensen organized a bone marrow drive that got 47 people to sign up for the bone marrow transplant list. In the summer of 2012, Jensen attended the Summer Olympics in London with the help of the Make-a-Wish Foundation.
Ronnie Ladines, Arlington
Of course it's impressive that Ladines came back from injury to lead Arlington to a state championship and was named The Herald's Softball Player of the Year. But what's even more impressive arguably is that Ladines contributed greatly to the Eagles girls soccer and girls basketball teams this year despite never having played on the varsity teams before her senior seasons. She did it all while carrying a 3.913 grade point average while taking Advanced Placement classes like calculus and physics. She's headed to Kent State on a softball scholarship.
Sarah Jenkins, Cascade
Throughout here high school career, Jenkins played four different sports but it was on the soccer field that she made her mark. After leading the Bruins to a Wesco 4A South and district championship and state appearance, she was selected as a first-team midfielder on the The Herald's All-Area team. She was voted Most Valuable Player and Most Inspirational on the girls tennis team as a senior in the spring. In the classroom, Jenkins maintained a 3.98 GPA while taking a number of college-level courses. She also volunteered at soccer camps as a coach and referee. She's headed to Northwest Nazarene University to continue her soccer career.

Dog fighting is a huge problem, and sometimes it can seem that you can't do much to help as an individual. But there are a few things you can do to stop it now, and we really need your help.
Why? Take it from those of us who have seen dog fighting compounds first-hand: Life as a dog used for fighting is a nightmare.
They live chained up or in a tiny cage. They don't get the veterinary care they need. They die in the ring or are unceremoniously shot for losing. Some are used as "bait" for other dogs. Some have litter after litter. Some starve. Some go without water for days.
Odds are that dog fighting is happening in your state right now. We need your help to stop it. Give dog fighting victims three minutes of your time?
1. Ask your U.S. representative to support the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act.
The Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act, introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on January 23, would make it a federal offense to knowingly attend an organized animal fight and would impose additional penalties for bringing children to animal fights. Violators would face up to one year in prison for attending a fight, and up to three years in prison for bringing a minor to a fight.
You can help the bill along by contacting your rep. We've made it easy at the ASPCA Advocacy Center, and we promise it only takes a few minutes, tops.
2. Download our new anti-dog fighting toolkit for citizen advocates.
If you're as horrified by dog fighting as we are, and you think you might want to commit more time to stopping dog fighting in the near future, download our new toolkit developed with the U.S. Department of Justice. It's got everything you need to know to get more involved. (We admit, actually reading it will take more than three minutes, but you get the idea.)
3. Fight Pit Bull prejudice via social media.
Pit Bulls and dogs who look like Pit Bulls get a bad rap because of their reputation as fighting dogs. Fight it by becoming a tireless advocate for them on your social networks. Start by posting the profile of a cute, adoptable Pit Bull-type dog on Facebook (we suggest Pet of the Week Champion) or sharing a happy tail about a Pit.
You can even share the story of a rehabilitated ex-fighting dog, like Ninja.
Oh, and of course, a bonus fourth thing you can do: Share this post on your social networks.
Easy, right? Together we can make a huge difference, and to the dogs who are suffering right now at the hands of fighters, it means the world.
To learn about a few more ways to fight back against blood sports, view our 10 ways to help end dog fighting and get educated about the issue on our dog fighting page.
On behalf of the dogs, thank you!
Join the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade!
By joining the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade, you will receive important alerts from us when we need your help to fight for laws against animals cruelty.
This is wrong! People who get a thrill off of animals fighing are serial killers budding. I can't see how anyone can get a thrill over this. Just because they can't talk to you doesn't man they have no feelings. All my pets are family they're treated like my kids
Please do not continue to hurt these precious angels! They are God-sent and deserve to be treated with respect! If not love!
Cruelty to animals, means cruelty to humans.
never try to abuse animals again, basterds!!!
We have a sister and brother pitbull pair and they are wonderful pets. They are loyal, loveable and so entertaining to watch. They are always so happy to see us when we come home. They are such wonderful and beautiful members of our family.
Please take the time to be their voice, if not u, who will fight for them?
It's 2013. When will the decent people of our world finally end the rights of
Violent criminals? All violence against good people should be severely punished.
However, there should be a clear distinction between violent crimes against good people,
and violence against pure innocence. The only pure innocent life on earth
is animals and young children. Any person that brings intentional harm to
a young child or animal needs to be permanently removed from society and even
put to death, which would be my choice. We can do this people! The time is now!
I love my pits and I can't see there sweet faces fighting. The people that fight dogs should have one of there dogs latch down on an arm or a leg for a whole minute. After that throw there ass in jail!!!
The poor gorgeous dogs don't have a choice how cruel a person can be , to put these gorgeous animals thru such torture . Put these cruel human beings in the middle and give them a taste of what they are putting there beautiful animals thru

EEG702 - Professional Learning in International Contexts
Unit details
|2015 unit information
|Enrolment modes:
|Trimester 2: Cloud (online)
|Credit point(s):
|EFTSL value:
|Unit chair:
|J Allen
|Incompatible with:
Teachers' work and professional learning are aspects of the processes of internationalisation of education and the changing nature of professionalism in globalised knowledge economies. For those managing international schools, the issue is one of attracting and retaining high quality teachers. Both teachers and leaders have to negotiate indigenous/expatriate relationships within local industrial relations and legal requirements. At the same time, rising expectations of teachers requires them to be learners, researchers and networkers, implementing research based policy and practice. This unit is about the formation and maintenance of teacher professional identities as learners and leaders managing portfolio careers and lifestyles within international teacher labour markets. The unit draws on the emerging field of cross-national education sociology, post colonial critical and feminist theorists of internationalisation and global economies and cultures to inform student's analyses of these macro concerns on the micro workings of systems and individual schools.
The unit provides the means to design strategic approaches to professional learning. It will address issues such as
- the 'brain drain' of professionals from one country to others
- developing strategic networks and skills within complex local/global relations
- professional learning in contexts of cultural diversity
- change management and building school cultures and teams through professional learning
- assessing teachers' professional learning needs in international contexts and relating it to improved student learning outcomes
The assessment comprises of two assignments, both essays (50% of total grade each) 3000 words each, with possible negotiation on the nature of the second assignment to meet specific circumstances. These will be assessed against criteria outlined in the unit guide and will include some indication of involvement of online participation.
Assignment 1: From your readings and reflections on your teaching and educational context, discuss the professional issues that relate to teachers as a result of globalisation in its various manifestations. What are the implications of these issues for teachers' professional learning in international contexts, and how do these articulate in your local context?
Assignment 2: Develop a professional development plan for your school / educational institution, catering for the specific needs of staff, and taking into account site-based priorities, contextual influences and cultural differences.

Surprise deaths part of TV series world
With ratings periods coming around, it's time in the TV world for changes. Sometimes those changes involve regular characters leaving a series or show. Editor Don Whitten, after seeing a regular killed off the other night in one of his family's favorites, looks at shocking TV deaths through the years. (March 28, 2014, Page 4A)

Guest blog by Nancy Perry, Senior Vice President of Government Relations
Yesterday was the National Day of the Horse, designated by the U.S. Senate in 2004 as a day for "people of the United States to be mindful of the contribution of horses to the economy, history and character of the United States." This led me to take stock of how our nation is doing when it comes to equine protection. While there have been advances in horse protection, much work remains to be done.
A 2012 national poll found that 80% of American voters oppose horse slaughter. Even though the last domestic horse slaughter plants have closed, the slaughter of American horses has continued in Canada and Mexico. Attempts made this year to resume horse slaughter in the U.S. were thwarted by massive public opposition. Legislation to ban these practices awaits action in Congress.
This spring, media attention focused on the plight of racehorses. A New York Times investigation detailed the tragedies befalling these equine athletes as a result of widespread drugging. Congress quickly introduced legislation to address this root cause of catastrophic injuries, and we continue to press for its passage.
We worked to draft a new piece of legislation to clamp down on "soring"—the practice of inflicting pain in horses' legs and hooves so severe that they move with an unnaturally high-stepping gait. This new bill was introduced in Congress this year to amend the Horse Protection Act and end soring once and for all.
While New York City continues to allow the shameful and dangerous practice of driving carriage horses on congested city streets, the ASPCA has backed a pilot program to replace those vulnerable animals with vintage, electric cars. This project is gaining momentum but has not yet replaced the antiquated urban horse-drawn carriage. We continue seeking ways to implement alternatives to the suffering of these noble creatures.
Though Congress recognized wild horses as living symbols of the American West in 1971, competition for public land use has threatened the welfare of our last mustangs. In 2004, a backroom deal led to the amendment of the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act permitting the sale of these iconic animals for the first time. This exception allowed over 1,700 mustangs to be sold to notorious pro-slaughter buyer Tom Davis (a devastating discovery made earlier this year). Many fear those horses were sent to slaughter, despite the Bureau of Land Management's policy against such an action. In response to this incident, the agency just announced reforms to prevent such tragedies in the future—but it may be too little, too late. The ASPCA calls for an end to the sales program and a return to the preservation focus of the Act.
In 2004, when the U.S. Senate recognized December 13 as the National Day of the Horse, it called America to action, stating "horses are a vital part of the collective experience of the United States and deserve protection and compassion." We at the ASPCA pledge to remain committed to this challenge and will ensure you know when and how you can join us in fighting for our beloved horses.
if you are going to go after the NYC carriage horses, then be fair and equal and go after any other horse & carriages/buggies that operate on the road in the whole country. Instead of banishing it- go out and fight for improving their living conditions. What about the horses out in the country with the Amish that plow in any condition, no rules or laws or police really watching them, no padding on their harnesses, no top nutrition knowledge how to feed them, they use the horses instead of vehicles (tractors, machines, cars) and vet care & farrier is minimal. The Amish horses coats and feet and eyes tell you what condition they can be in. Their hooves pound down the road at a strong quick trot. There is no conditioning program to ensure the horses are fit to do their jobs, etc...
I've seen the carriage horses in NYC- they have padded harnesses, their feet land equally and flat which means the farrier work is how it should be, they have to follow laws about temperature and hours of work, just improve the quality of care. They all receive a top quality feed, their weight is monitored and they always have glossy coats. They have a vet and only deals with the same 200+ horses all the time- wouldn't that yield consistent good vet care? You say that horses weren't meant to live in these abnormal conditions- well dogs and cats weren't meant to live in the city either with no grass to roll in. Are there laws about how long your pet can be outside at what temperature?
Let's fight for equal care for all carriage horses

World's Tallest Climbing Wall and New "Urban Adventure Destination" Take Reno to New Heights at October 1 Grand Opening
CommRow will celebrate its grand opening on October 1, becoming Reno's first "Urban Adventure Destination." This property will inject a sample of the region's outdoor thrills into the heart of Reno's downtown corridor.
Towering 164-feet above the landmark Reno arch is the world's tallest climbing wall on the 16-story building's exterior façade. Inside, climbing enthusiasts or curious beginners will find a world-class bouldering center, plus event space and slacklines. The entire climbing facility, known as BaseCamp, is built to international competition standards but also first-timer friendly.
CommRow also features a menagerie of culturally-diverse eateries and bars dubbed "TheRow", which were developed by two seasoned restaurateurs who have worked with such acclaimed chefs as Bobby Flay, Charlie Palmer and Bryan Voltaggio. Guests will find something to tempt any palate, from traditional tacos to fresh tuna tartars. Libations from classic cocktails to a selection of more than 100 tequilas can also be found. On the second floor, watch all of the bouldering action while enjoying either smoothies and housemade granolas, or wines by the glass and draft beers.
Two live entertainment venues known as Cargo and Centric will feature local performers and national touring acts. During the day, the 400-person capacity Cargo will transform into a fitness center with a focus on core training. Additional meeting and event space is also available.
Other attractions are slated to open in 2012, including the pet-friendly HANG Hotel in spring, and an outdoor "Adventure Deck" with BMX and skate parks, outdoor bouldering and more.
CommRow's developer Fernando Leal of Chicago- and Reno-based L3 Development LLC states, "This is a huge opportunity to elevate Reno's perception in the eyes of both locals and visitors alike, showcasing it for what it truly is – a vibrant, multi-faceted destination."

The purpose of collecting Family Dues is to ensure the reunion continues annually without burdening any host family with administratvie expenses. Family Dues, just like every year, are in addition to the cost of the reunion and is expected from ALL families regardless of attendance.
However, the 2013 reunion does not require the full family dues because of the conveniences on board the ship. Thus, the Host Family Committee estimated the administrative cost to be covered at a lower amount.
You can pay your family dues on this site by credit card, or paypal's Bill Me Later, or by mailing a check to the Committee Chair directly. Make checks payable to Kommah McDowell.

Please note: Family Dues will resume as normal for the 2014 Family Reunion
Hope all is well. We are slowly but surely approaching the final due dates for payment for the Walls Family Reunion. Just wanted to touch basis on a few things and get clarification on the following:
2. Can you please remind everyone that name changes/cancellations at this point maybe subject to additional service fees.
3. Remind everyone that if they do not have passports, they must bring their valid government identification along with their birth certificate. Students need to bring their school identification if they do not have a government issued identification. However if you are traveling with your passport, you need to bring the passport.
4. Special Needs Request forms, if guest have any special needs request and have not emailed or mailed it to me that I need their request immediately. Carnival requires this to be submitted to them no later than 14 days prior to sailing.
5. Finally, for those interested in shore excursions, they can contact me to reserve in advance because they will sale out if purchased onboard the ship.

Southwest football standout J'Veon Walker is comfortable having the ball in his hands, whether he's hauling in a pass, speeding down field with a kick return or reeling in an interception.
And the Stallions certainly wouldn't have it any other way as they prepare for the official start of practice Aug. 1 and for their season opener Aug. 23 at home against Jacksonville.
"J'Veon is a tremendous athlete and we have got to get him the football, and we are going to," Southwest coach Phil Padgett said. "He's working hard. He's worked hard this spring and he's had a good summer to this point, and we are excited about what he brings to the table.
"Without a doubt he's going to be a guy who gets the ball."
The 17-year-old Walker sure doesn't mind getting his touches as he hopes to lead the Stallions to another state title after Southwest won the NCHSAA 1-AA championship last season.
The 6-foot-1, 192-pound walker likes toting the pigskin. He, along with his teammates and coaches, know that each time he gets the ball he has a chance to score. And Walker has proven that time and again as a wide receiver, safety and kick returner.
"I like all positions. I just like having the ball in my hands," Walker said. "I have been thinking about it the past couple of years of what can I do with the ball? Can I juke somebody or try to break a tackle? I just get that mentality to just score."
That's exactly what Walker did in Southwest's 44-34 victory over Swain County in December in the state final.
He gave the Stallions an early spark by scoring on a 40-yard touchdown run for 6-0 lead and then boosted his team by returning the second-half kickoff 94 yards for a score to extend its lead to 23-13.
Walker also had a first-quarter interception and nine tackles out of the secondary. He was named the state title game most valuable player.
After the season, Walker was named to the first team of The Daily News all-area team as a receiver after he finished with 20 receptions for 475 yards and eight touchdowns to go along with seven interceptions.
"That state championship game brought him to the next level," Padgett said. "No doubt about it."
Walker has since watched film of the state final several times.
"I just think, 'Dang, that's really me,'" Walker said.
It sure was.
Now Walker uses that game film as a tool for this season. It motivates him to win another championship in his final year. He agreed with Padgett that his performance made him a more confident player. Walker also said that his effort against Swain County put other coaches, teams and college recruiters on notice about just how good he was on the field.
"I sort of felt like while the season was going on that I was kind of getting under-looked, but I just played my role," Walker said. "We were a running team, but when pass plays were called, that's when I stepped up to make a play."
As a sophomore in 2011, Walker had seven receptions for 121 yards and a touchdown.
Fast forward to this year's preseason and Walker's name has gotten around to college recruiters. He said North Carolina has offered him a scholarship and he's heard East Carolina and Charlotte were prepared to offer him as well.
Walker is being recruited as a wide receiver.
"I think I've handled it well," Walker said. "I've just maintained my focus on getting right for next season."
But while his mind is focused on the season ahead, Walker also thinks about his former teammate Shak Pershey, whose drowning death last month saddened him and the Southwest community.
Walker and Pershey were close friends. Walker will never forget Pershey and is dedicating this season to his teammate.
"I've been talking to his sister lately because she knew how close we were," Walker said. "I think about all the things he did and all the great things that came his way, leading us to the state championship."
And now Walker wants to honor Pershey by leading the Stallions to another title, saying, "It's better to have two rings than one."
But Walker doesn't just want to get himself prepared for the season. He also wants to help get the entire Stallions' team ready.
"I've been lifting, training and working on my techniques, footwork and speed," Walker said. "I also get them (teammates) pumped up and ready to go. I tell them what they are doing wrong during drills, and I make sure everybody is lifting in the weight room.
"I want to lead them to a state championship. That's all."

U.S. Energy Information Administration - EIA - Independent Statistics and Analysis
AEO2014 Early Release Overview
Release Date: December 16, 2013 | Full Report Release Date: Early Spring 2014 | correction | Report Number: DOE/EIA-0383ER(2014)
This release is an abridged version of the Annual Energy Outlook that highlights changes in the AEO Reference case projections for key energy topics. The Early Release includes data tables for the Reference case only. The AEO2014 full version will be released early Spring 2014.
In preparing the AEO2014 Reference case, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) evaluated a wide range of trends and issues that could have major implications for U.S. energy markets. This overview presents the AEO2014 Reference case and compares it with the AEO2013 Reference case released in April 2013 (see Table 1 on pages 17-18). Because of the uncertainties inherent in any energy market projection, the Reference case results should not be viewed in isolation. Readers are encouraged to review the alternative cases when the complete AEO2014 publication is released, to gain perspective on how variations in key assumptions can lead to different outlooks for energy markets.
To provide a basis against which alternative cases and policies can be compared, the AEO2014 Reference case generally assumes that current laws and regulations affecting the energy sector remain unchanged throughout the projection (including the implication that laws that include sunset dates do, in fact, expire at the time of those sunset dates). This assumption clarifies the relationship of the Reference case to other AEO2014 cases and enables policy analysis with less uncertainty regarding unstated legal or regulatory assumptions.
Key updates made for the AEO2014 Reference case include the following:
- Revised U.S. Census Bureau population projections. The population projection for 2040 in the AEO2014 Reference case is almost 6% below the 2040 projection used for the AEO2013 Reference case. Most of the revision in overall population growth results from a lower projection for net international migration, with younger age groups showing the largest differences from the earlier projection. The slower rate of population growth leads to less labor force growth, which contributes to slower GDP growth.
Residential, commercial, and industrial
- Revised base year residential equipment stocks and energy consumption for space heating, space cooling, and water heating, based on data from EIA's 2009 Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS), the most recent data available. Estimates of appliance stocks and energy consumption for several miscellaneous electric loads also were updated, based on a report by Navigant Consulting Inc., to better reflect recent changes and trends in the residential sector.

Well, if you asked 20 different philosophers what philosophy is, you'd probably get 40 different answers.
There are certainly people who work in philosophy departments who do things that I would consider only loosely connected to philosophy. Some "philosophers" are really cognitive scientists, for example.
I'm not sure why you express such skepticism about the PhD.

1832 S.D.U.K. Map of Lake Superior
Description: A scarce and beautiful 1832 Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, or S.D.U.K. map of Lake Superior, the largest of the five Great Lakes. Centered on Lake Superior, the map coves the modern day regions of southern Ontario, northern Michigan and northeastern Minnesota. Although the interiors remain poorly mapped, several rivers, islands and lakes are noted throughout. The Indian tribe of Alogonquins or Chippeways is also identified. Also notes the American Fur Company, one of the largest businesses in the early 19th century. This map was originally published by Baldwin and Cradock and is copyrighted in 1832, but was issued in Volume two of Chapman and Hall's 1844 edition of Maps of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. It was engraved by John Walker of J. and C. Walker.
Date: 1832 (dated)
Source: Maps of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, (London: Chapman and Hall) The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (S.D.U.K.) Atlas was initially issued in parts over several years by Baldwin and Craddock to promote the society's mission of egalitarian self-education. The first S.D.U.K. began appearing in 1829 when the society contracted John Walker to produce the first proofs. The first S.D.U.K maps were produced serially by Baldwin and Craddock and issued in 2 map batches, priced at 2 shillings each. The series, originally anticipated to feature 50 maps, ultimately contained 200 and took over 14 years to produce. The initial production was completed in 1844 when the whole was issued in its first compiled atlas edition. Around 1842, following the 1837 bankruptcy of Baldwin and Craddock, publication of the atlas was taken over by the Society itself, who issued editions in 1838, 1839, 1840, 1841, and 1842. Overburdened by the work of publishing, they then outsourced the publication to Chapman and Hall in 1842. Chapman and Hall produced editions in 1842, 1843, and 1844. Dissatisfied with the quality of Chapman and Hall printing, the Society turned to another publisher, Charles Knight, who issued editions under the auspices of the Society in 1844, 1845, and 1846. In 1846 Knight officially acquired the plates in his own right and reissued in revised editions until 1852, when he sold them to George Cox. Cox in turn sold them to Edward Stanford who published them from 1856 well into the 1860s. The S.D.U.K. Atlas is known for the quantity and quality of its maps. The S.D.U.K. published many maps of areas largely ignored by other publishers. The many city plans incorporated into the atlas are particularly admired and are the highlight of the S.D.U.K.'s long map publishing history. As a whole the S.D.U.K. Atlas was groundbreaking in terms of quality, scope, and being offer at a cost effective price point.

Cartographer: The "Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge" was a Whiggish organization founded in 1828 at the instigation of idealistic British lord Henry Peter Brougham. The admirable goal of the Society was to distribute useful information via a series of publications to the English working and middle classes. It promoted self-education and the egalitarian sharing of all knowledge. While closely tied to the London University and publishing houses on the order of Baldwin and Cradock, Chapman and Hall, and Charles Knight, the Society failed to achieve its many lofty goals in finally closed its doors in 1848. Most likely the failure of the Society resulted from its publications being too expensive for its intended lower to middle class markets and yet not large and fine enough to appeal to the aristocratic market. Nonetheless, it did manage to publish several extraordinary atlases of impressive detail and sophistication. Their most prominent atlas consisted of some 200 separately issued maps initially published by Baldwin and Cradock and sold by subscription from 1829 to 1844. Afterwards, the Society combined the maps into a single world atlas published under the Chapman and Hall imprint. In its day, this atlas was unprecedented in its quality, scope, and cost effectiveness. Today Society, or S.D.U.K. as it is commonly known, maps are among the most impressive examples of mid-19th century English mass market cartographic publishing available. The S.D.U.K. is especially known for its beautiful and accurately detailed city plans. Click here for a list of rare maps from The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge.
Cartographer: Chapman and Hall (fl. 1830 - present) was a British publishing house in London, founded in 1830 by Edward Chapman and William Hall. Upon Hall's death in 1847, Chapman's cousin Frederic Chapman became partner in the company, of which he became sole manager upon the retirement of Edward Chapman in 1864. In 1868 author Anthony Trollope bought a third of the company for his son, Henry Merivale Trollope. From 1902 to 1930 the company's managing director was Arthur Waugh. In the 1930s the company merged with Methuen, a merger which, in 1955 participated in forming the Associated Book Publishers. The latter was acquired by The Thomson Corporation in 1987. Chapman and Hall was sold again in 1998 as part of Thomson Scientific and Professional to Wolters Kluwer, who sold on its well-regarded mathematics and statistics list to CRC Press. Today the name of Chapman and Hall/CRC is used as an imprint for science and technology books by Taylor and Francis, part of the Informa group since 2004. The company is best known for its publication of the works of Charles Dickens (from 1840 until 1844 and again from 1858 until 1870), William Thackeray, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Eadweard Muybridge and Evelyn Waugh. They continued to publish hitherto unpublished Dickens material well into the 20th century. In cartographic circles they are known as the primary publishers of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge Atlas, a massive 200+ map atlas that was popular in England during the mid-19th century. Click here for a list of rare maps by Chapman and Hall.
Cartographer: John Walker (1787 - April 19, 1873) was a British hydrographer and geographer active in London during the 19th century. Walker published both nautical charts and geographical maps. His nautical work is particular distinguished as he was an official hydrographer for the British East India Company, a position, incidentally, also held by his father of the same name. Walker's landside geography, mostly published after 1827, was primarily produced in partnership with his brother Charles Walker under the imprint J. and C. Walker. Among their joint projects are more than 200 maps for the influential Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge Atlas (SDUK). Click here for a list of rare maps by John Walker.

Using the keyboard, and the mouse for long time is probably one of the causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. How can I avoid it?
closed as off topic by ChrisF♦ Feb 12 '12 at 12:54
Questions on Programmers Stack Exchange are expected to relate to software development within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I've found the exercises from David Kuckhermann (a percussionist) really helped alleviate stress and keep the pain at bay:
I have a simple rule: If something hurts, stop doing it.
That might mean adjusting your workspace, or your posture, or just taking a break - pay attention to what your body is telling you - note any irritations or annoyances, and do what is necessary to avoid them.
I specifically don't have a silly split-in-half keyboard. I do always make sure I get a real keyboard with good keys that type properly (no rubbery buttons) and that it is placed appropriately (i.e. not hunched up, nor on the edge of the desk), and similarly with the mouse.
Learn to use your mouse left handed (assuming you're right handed) and swap every so often. Not necessarily every hour, but perhaps once or twice a day.
Use a track pad instead of a mouse. Take breaks every so often.
If you are right handed, try to use sometimes the left hand (and vice versa if you are left handed).
As other people have said, ergonomics, taking breaks and stretches.
Aside from that, observe yourself as you work, notice when your muscles feel tight. Those are the instances that are adding to the RSI. Experiment to find out what causes the tightness. For instance, are you pulling your fingers up before you are finished pushing the key down? Ok, try just pushing down then relax, rather than push down pull up.
Rest. While thinking, take your hands away from the keyboard. You don't have to remain at ready while you aren't typing. If you are doing a lot of typing constantly, stop for a second every 5, it won't slow you down that much, and will keep you going at full speed later when you might be slowed by pain.
One very specific to me, but might be useful to others, lift your arms, let the wrists relax, and the hands hang. This takes all tension out of the wrist, which is my main cause of RSI.
I think what I get is more similar to cubital tunnel rather than carpal tunnel... docs tend to incorrectly lump all these symptoms as carpal tunnel... but, using the mouse is what aggravates it most (tingling). I took the right arm off my chair so I don't aggravate it by resting on the arm... and moused left handed for 3 weeks and it is about 90% gone... also make sure not to bend your arm or wrist when you sleep... use a brace if necessary... the time before (3 years ago) that it acted up I used oral scare-oids but I realize now that I really need a non-medicine solution... this seems to be working... mousing left handed is also more ergonomic cause it is closer to the keyboard and requires less reach since the right of the keyboard has arrow keys and numeric keypad...
Get touchpad/tablet instead of a mouse. A good option which combines both is Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch. I use it in touch mode at work (it is a hassle to switch between pen & keyboard all the time) and in pen mode at home as i mostly just browse / read and do little typing.
One of the great advantages of technology is that it can provide solutions where you would have least thought of one. In this particular case, the technology that can help you (at least to some extent) is the speech to text technology. You can make use of professional products like Dragon Naturally Speaking which take dictation and convert it to text. I just started using it a few days back but so far it's been an interesting experience using it. It does have some problems "understanding" an Indian accent but with time and practice you will be able to use it better. Just google for it and it'll lead you to their homepage. There are some free speech to text products as well, but most couldnt recognize an Indian accent so I had to give up on those. Good luck and I hope you find a good product!
I have never had carpal tunnel problems, but have heard enough people have problems that I am taking preventive action. Aside from taking breaks (I use workrave to remind me), switching the side the mouse is on, (both already mentioned before) I have started doing the stretches as suggested by Zad Shaw at http://sheddingbikes.com/posts/1281257293.html
Around 1998 I had trouble with this (doctor thought it was early-stage carpal tunnel) and I tried many popular recommendations, like wrist exercises, that didn't help at all.
I was only about 21 y/o, still in college, thinking this is the end of my career and I haven't even started yet! I was in solid shape too, a long distance runner.
The solution for me was swimming laps. That helped almost immediately and I haven't had any pain since then.
If you're a graphic artist clicking a million times per day (RSI) I recommend trying a Wacom. This may not "cure" you but should relieve some pain.
Also check your diet. If your "tunnel" is too tight due to inflammation, maybe there's a dietary solution.

Bernard Melekian, director, COPS, Department of Justice

By Suzanne Kubota
Senior Internet Editor
No federal agency intends to give out money to the wrong people, but we all know it happens.
"I think it is important to recognize," said Bernard Melekian, "that mistakes will be made and the challenge, of course, is to A) own up to them and B) fix them."
Even at the Justice Department. Some would might say especially at the Justice Department.
Melekian is the director of the department's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, or COPS. I recent IG review found problems with stimulus grants designed to fund hiring in state and local law enforcement agencies.
In short, according their calcuations, the IG found that money went to 45 groups that shouldn't have gotten it, didn't go to 34 that should have, and six more should have qualified for more funding than they got.
Melekian told Federal News Radio, the problem was there was a selection of methods to rank applicants. His office chose the wrong one.
The COPS office computed the rate of change, particularly with regards to crime rates. What was determined by the inspector general, quite rightly I might add, was that from a statistical analysis perspective, the most that an agency's crime rate could drop would be 100% but theoretically, the most an agency's crime rate could increase was infinite.
According to the IG's report, a "second inaccuracy occurred when COPS addressed situations where applicant data used in some formulas required dividing by zero." Very bad things can happen when trying to divide by zero.
Melekian told the Federal Drive a lesson has been learned here.
I think what we will do going forward is probably to work more closely with the IG and looking at the methodologies that they view as most appropriate. The folks at the COPS office, there was certainly no negligence in this. It simply was there are a variety of ways that those crime rate changes could be calculated. They selected one and the IG office felt that it was not the best, and I think going forward we will work more closely with them to prevent that.
As for the present, all 40 of the underfunded agencies have been contacted, said Melekian and "going forward into 2010, we will be making awards to them." As for the groups that were given awards that shouldn't have, Melekian said there's no effort to recover those funds. He said those agencies that got money, hired police officers that were needed in those communities. "There's nothing to be gained by trying to recover that money."
But next time, COPS will "work closely with the IG to make sure on the front end that we're doing everything appropriately."

An attorney filed an amendment Wednesday requesting additional warrants in the Zahra Baker case be unsealed for the public eye.
Attorney Amanda Martin, who represents several area media outlets, amended a motion filed Tuesday to include four additional sealing orders related to the case.
A North Carolina Highway Patrol trooper charged an investigator in the Zahra Baker case with driving while impaired.
Robert Joseph Falowski, 42, of Claremont, was charged Dec. 4 with driving while impaired, failure to report an accident and failure to maintain lane control.
Falowski's name appears on a Hickory Police Department warrant to search Zahra Baker's former residence, located at 21 21st Ave. NW in Hickory.
The warrant includes information about how Zahra Baker's stepmother
An area high school teacher was recently named one of the nine best educators in North Carolina.
Fred T. Foard High School math teacher Andy Blevins received the northwest regional teacher of the year award for North Carolina. Blevins will compete with teachers from seven other state regions, as well as a charter school teacher, to receive the North Carolina teacher of the year award.
"I don't really know what to think right now," said Blevins, who has been an educator for 14 years. "I don't think it has sunk in yet."
A fire broke out Wednesday in a Claremont kennel, killing two puppies housed inside.
The 400-square-foot dog kennel was on fire when emergency responders arrived on the scene about 12:40 p.m. at 1143 Cheyenne Oaks Drive in Claremont. Firefighters were unable to save the building, as it was destroyed in the blaze.
The kennel's owners, James and Shirley Hicks, live several yards away from the structure, and they heard their two 9-week-old Labrador puppies barking as flames engulfed the building.
Beulah Lail Killian, 91, of Conover, passed away Tuesday, Dec. 14, 2010, at Palliative CareCenter & Hospice of Catawba Valley. The Killian family has entrusted funeral arrangements to Drum Funeral Home & Cremation Services in Conover.

Hazardous winter weather conditions are headed for Catawba County tonight.
According to the National Weather Service, there is a chance of snow before 4 a.m. and then snow and sleet are likely in Thursday's early morning hours. Officials said less than an inch of snow and sleet are expected. Wednesday's low is 26 degrees.
Going into Thursday, there is rain with a possibility of freezing rain expected with a high near 41 into early afternoon. Rain is expected to continue after 2 p.m. and end in the early evening hours.
Now for something completely different — well, sort of — I'm back in the sports saddle at The O-N-E, and this past week the duty took me to my first-ever swim meet. The experience was certainly educational and entertaining, so much that I want to make sure Wednesday night's meet at Lenoir-Rhyne University won't be my last.
It has been a long time since Newton-Conover Middle School has lost a wrestling match in Catawba County.
In fact, Tuesday's 52-26 win over Maiden Middle School marks the 100th straight victory the young Red Devils have notched.
"This is bigger than any championship we could actually win ... That's 100 consecutive wins over the past eight years," said Newton-Conover Middle School wrestling coach Ben Crawford. "We have been undefeated countywide. We had to get four wins this season. We ran off three in a row and hit the fourth one here."

Heading into the second-round NCHSAA 3-A soccer playoff match against Cardinal Gibbons, Jacksonville senior goalkeeper Joe Davis was nervous.
Davis had never played against the Crusaders – and he knew the two teams had played in the East Regional final the last three years.
"And we had Zach (McCracken) and Holland (Hammond) before (in goal) that played amazing during these games," Davis said. "So it's like I've got to play up to them. It's kind of like being in their shadows."
Whether he was in the shadows or not, this much is certain: Davis played light's out, making a number of how-the-heck-did-he-do-that saves in helping the fourth-seeded Cardinals subdue No. 13 seed Cardinal Gibbons 4-2 Saturday night.
While Warren Washington had two goals and an assist – and just missed a hat trick when a shot clanged off the top left corner of the net with 6:45 left, the star of the night was Davis, who had 13 saves – at least four of which seemed certain to find the back of the net.
"Joe was huge," JHS coach Dave Miller said. "We've been kind of waiting for that. He started out the year on fire and struggle a little bit in the middle of the year, but he was huge tonight. The boys were saying on the bench he was probably the man of the match."
Cardinal Gibbons coach Tim Healey agreed.
"It breaks your heart. We miss two point-blank shots. It should be 3-2, different game," he said. "He came up big time. He was in a zone."
With JHS up 2-1 early in the second half and the Crusaders putting the pressure on, Davis came up with two of his highlight saves in just a 13-second span – one on a header after a free kick and the other on a near one-on-one showdown.
"The first one I had a foot save on. He came down and I was like, 'Ah, I got to come out. It's me and him,'" Davis said. "I stayed low and I stayed big and I made the save. The other one, that was a straight reaction save. It was just I was there at the right time."
Then late in the match he made two more big saves in less than a three-minute span against senior Chase Rhode, who grabbed his head in anguish after the second near-miss with 3:24 left on a low shot through a crowd of players that would rival a New York City crosswalk.
"It definitely feels good," Davis said. "But as a goalie you definitely have to have a short memory either way. But it's definitely a huge win for us."
The defending state champions grabbed a 1-0 lead on a goal by junior CJay Sparks off an assist from Washington just 4:09 into the match. But it took Cardinal Gibbons, which finishes 16-7-1, less than 30 seconds to tie up on a header by senior Cam Steele.
While both teams had some near-misses, including a shot by Cardinal Gibbons' Austin Blondel that hit the crossbar with 22:45 left that led to another strong save by Davis, the score remained knotted until Washington's first goal.
After a shot was blocked out front by a defender, Washington got the ball and fired it home from about 12 yards out to give JHS a 2-1 with 7:00 left.
The Cardinals made it 3-1 on Tyler Moore's unassisted goal with 24:16 left in the second half after he beat a defender and slipped the ball past goalkeeper Luke Deacon, who'd come out of his net to try to stop Moore.
Just under seven minutes later JHS upped its lead to 4-2 on Washington's second goal.
Cardinal Gibbons got that goal back on a header by Rhode with 11:35 left, but Davis and the Cardinals didn't allow the Crusaders to get closer.
"Good game," Miller said. "I was joking with coach Healy before the game that this has been the Eastern final game the past three years. It's a tough match-up for a second-round game. It's going to be an early exit for one of us."
Miller was just glad it was the Crusaders going home early.
JHS (17-4-1), meanwhile, will play host to 12th-seeded Southern Nash (18-5) in the third round, with the match tentatively set for Tuesday. Southern Nash beat No. 5 seed Smithfield-Selma 2-1 on Saturday night.
Cardinal Gibbons 1 1 — 2
Jacksonville 2 2 — 4
GOALS—CG: Steele, Rhode. JHS: Washington 2, Sparks, Moore. ASSISTS—CB: Palacios. JHS: Washington, Johnson. IN GOAL—CB: Deacon (7 saves). JHS: Davis (13 saves). SHOTS ON GOAL—CG 16, JHS 11. CORNER KICKS—CG 7, JHS 7. RECORDS—CG: 16-7-1, season complete. JHS: 17-4-1, hosts Southern Nash in third round, TBA.

- Best serum! Review by Miye
Price Value Quality
I'm 50 plus and have tried many different serums. Peptide + Defense is absolutely the best one. I have normal aging skin, which tends to be dry, but this serum keeps it looking firm, plump and nourished. It never feels greasy--my skin just soaks it up. I tried others because of the price, but came back to this one for the results!
