Academic Internship Program

More than just a job, this internship connects you with a mentor who will help you learn about the profession. You'll get meaningful professional experience — vital when it comes to landing that first professional job. You'll also take a related seminar that requires you to analyze the work you're doing. You'll apply what you've learned at Holy Cross, make valuable contacts, improve your written and oral skills, and be better prepared to pursue your dreams. Interested in applying? You need to be a 3rd or 4th-year student, any major. In addition to providing your academic record and resume, you'll describe how this internship complements your academic program. Motivation and maturity are key attributes. Once you make the cut, you'll secure your own position. See what the industry is all about; fine-tune your career path as a result.
Career Fairs
Career FairsCareer Fairs are a terrific way for students to meet employers from a variety of industries who are interested in recruiting Holy Cross students for entry-level and internship opportunities. It is also a great way to simply speak with individuals, many of whom are Holy Cross alumni, about their nature of their work and their particular employer. Career Planning hosts two Career Fairs each year, one in late September and a second in early-April.

Because the workshop is held immediately prior to spring semester, on-campus housing and meals will be provided.

Mock Trial Team
Mock Trial TeamHoly Cross is a member of the American Mock Trial Association. By competing in Mock Trial, you'll learn to carefully analyze a case, evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each side, and prepare a convincing oral argument that the side you're arguing is correct. Successful teams are able to win both sides of the case in 4-trial tournaments that last two days. Students who excel at mock trial often gain admission to the top law schools in the country. Skills learned in mock trial are ideally suited for a law career. But the ability to persuade others in a clear, concise and civil manner is a useful skill in many other occupations. Holy Cross has sent nine teams to the national tournament finishing as high as 3rd and 6th.
Moot Court
Moot CourtHoly Cross is a member of the American Moot Court Association. Moot Court is about mastering the art of oral argument in an appellate court setting. Unlike Mock Trial which emphasizes legal procedure, Moot Court tests substantive constitutional law. To compete, you must understand the connections between dozens of actual court cases. In addition to presenting your argument, you must be able to effectively respond to judges who challenge the application of legal rules or principles as presented. Students who take part in Moot Court tournaments compete as a 2-person team as well as for top orator awards. Crusaders have taken home the top orator award at the National Tournament twice since 2008. Holy Cross teams have also been named national runner-up twice.

By focusing on three distinct manners of networking-- virtual, social and individual-- the Networking Program well equips students to navigate all networking scenarios. Completion of the Networking Program earns students the right to access the Future Fund.
The Future Fund is a means of granting students both the social and fiscal capital to conduct their career search by exploring entrepreneurial ideas and developing their network of contacts. Each student who completes the Networking Program is eligible to receive reimbursement up to $20/semester for expenses incurred when networking with a Holy Cross alumni.
Networking Receptions
Networking ReceptionsSince networking continues to be the best way to land a job, Career Planning, the SIP office, Alumni Career Services and the Ciocca Office for Entrepreneurial Studies all organize multiple opportunities for students to connect with alumni. Both the Intern Networking Reception and Take an Intern to Lunch program link successful Holy Cross grads with students who land internships in New York. If you want to explore financial services, attend the Finance Networking Reception held in New York during the semester break. Two large networking receptions are held on campus each year so students don't even need to leave campus to network with alumni.

A five-day silent retreat -- called the Spiritual Exercises -- challenges students to think, pray and journal as they reflect upon integrating faith into all facets of their lives.

Holyoke men plead innocent to drug chargesBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | March 19,2013BRATTLEBORO Two men from Holyoke, Mass., pleaded innocent Monday to charges of drug trafficking.
The men were arrested in Guilford on Guilford Center Road after Vermont State Police followed them from a West Brattleboro apartment, where they were under surveillance for suspicion of drug dealing.
Douglas Lozada, 29, and Edison Angel Lajara, 25, were ordered held on $40,000 and $20,000 bail respectively after their arraignment in Brattleboro criminal court. Both were held at the state prison in Springfield.
Both men were charged with trafficking in heroin and possession of cocaine, and Lajara was also charged with giving false information to a police officer to implicate another.
According to Vermont State Police affidavits, Lozada and Lajara have been on police radar for the last four months, after Senior Trooper Michael Studin received information from four different sources that three men from Holyoke were selling large quantities of heroin and cocaine in the Brattleboro area.
The three men were known by their names Edison, Doug and Tyson.
According to court records, both men have extensive criminal history, and have several aliases.
The trooper said that when they were in Vermont, they stayed at homes in West Brattleboro, Newfane and Dummerston, and also stayed with a relative of one of the men in downtown Brattleboro.
I learned that they had sold heroin and cocaine from each of these residences and were actively selling heroin and cocaine from the downtown Brattleboro apartment, Studin wrote.
Studin wrote that on Friday he received information that two of the three suspected drug dealers, Edison and Doug, were in Brattleboro and selling heroin and cocaine. Studin said he received a tip from a reliable source that the two men would be meeting someone on Route 5 in Guilford to sell a large amount of heroin and cocaine.
Studin, who knew what vehicle they were using, said he observed the vehicle Friday evening on Route 5, and pulled it over after it went over the double yellow line twice, the affidavit stated.
Studin observed two grinders in a dashboard floor pocket in the Massachusetts vehicle, which each contained marijuana. After Lajara, the driver, consented to a search of the vehicle, police found $1,400 in cash on his person. Lajara said the money came from a recent car sale.
Police found four cellphones in the vehicle, and also noted a heavy odor of cologne in the vehicle due to four bottles of cologne.
Police found clear plastic sandwich bag hidden behind the molding around the radio, and the bag contained cocaine, police said, along with numerous blue glassine bags.
The white powder field tested positive for cocaine, which police said had a street value of $360.
The blue glassine bags were stamped with the phrase Blue Magic, along with the Pepsi symbol. The 133 bags had a street value of approximately $2,660, police said. It field tested positive for heroin, police said.
The false information charge against Lajara stemmed from him telling police he had a valid license, and that the car did not contain any illegal drugs, court records stated.

It's a cat's life
Author and self-confessed cat lover Terry Pratchett shares some tales of his feline-friendly home.
'Discworld' author Terry Pratchett says that cats have been part of his life for more than 30 years. He and his wife Lynn currently share their home with six!
"We moved to a country cottage in the 70s, and a cottage has to have a cat," he says.
"Oedipuss came to us from a cat sanctuary near Bath, in return for one pound donation. She was an extremely affectionate tortie, who would wait on the garden wall for us if we went out."
"Ever since then we have built up our cat family by accident. There is always a door to be opened or a bowl to be filled in our house! We have a friend in Hereford called Dave and Dave-cats are always worth having. [sic] We have one at the moment, called Genghis. He's grey and white and will only sit on your lap if it happens to fit in with his programme."
"We also have a pair of Russian Blues, Garfield and Squirrel, who are beautiful but rather neurotic. Squirrel hates everyone, but in a beautiful way. Then there are Patch and Tiger, who are the kittens of one of our earlier cats. Patch is my office cat and sits in the desk drawer while I am writing. If she wants attention she will lie on her back with her paws in the air and stare at me. Tiger will go out hunting with Ghengis but only catches mice if they hit him on the nose."
"Our sixth cat is another tabby, Pongo. Our daughter took in a pregnant stray, which had three kittens. She kept two and we had Pongo, a big cat who thinks he is a kitten."
"I didn't have cats when I was a child because our neighbour's cats used to come into the garden and dig up my Dad's seedbeds. We are gardeners too, but we have a walled garden, which the cats seem to see as our space, so they only go in when we do."
Over the years Terry and his family have had to cope with the heartache of losing cats to road traffic accidents. Even though they live in the country, their road becomes very busy during rush hour.
"Cats seem to be able to cope with busy city streets, or roads that are always quiet, but not roads where there is occasional heavy traffic," Terry says.
"After losing four cats in two years, we installed an invisible fence. You bury a wire around the edge of your property and your animals wear collars. If they go near the wire there's a buzz and if they go nearer they get a mild electric shock. It sounds cruel, but it's better than having them take their chances on the road. We haven't lost a cat since 1996."
"We were told it took dogs three weeks to learn. It took our cats about five seconds. They seem to have reprogrammed their world and they are happy with their space."
Terry can't imagine a cat-free life.
"They are a presence, but an independent one. They don't need walks and they only need attention on their own terms," he says.
"They will give you affection, but only when they have nothing better to do. Oedipuss was the friendliest. Our current cats live in their own cat environment."
"I see a lot of feline politics. Ghengis has appointed himself the family policeman. If any of the others are fighting he isolates the aggressor and gives them a good talking-to, in his silly squeaky voice! He seems to have decided that his role is to see none of the others gets too big for their boots."
"The two tabbies go out to play together. Patch hates everyone but she likes me, for some reason. I once accidentally shut her in the drawer where she sleeps in the office but she didn't seem to mind!"
"Ghengis gets on with everyone. When friends come to see us they are surprised to see him waiting in front of the house like a car park attendant. He likes to know what's going on. We had a digger in the garden and the driver was amazed to see Ghengis sitting in the bucket, waiting for something to happen. If we ever have any tradesman in Ghengis always watches them carefully too."
"Writers are busy people so I am quite glad the cats don't need a huge input of fuss. Both our tabbies are very good at the 'dead cat in the gutter' look with all four paws stretched into the air when they do need attention."
"Cats are definitely nice to have around, especially on cold winter evenings when they all turn up to be fed and then settle in their room where their baskets are – though they prefer to sleep on chairs, of course.
Terry Pratchett was talking to Jill Eckersley. Your Cat Magazine February 2006.

It was strictly business for the Board of County Commissioners during last week's meeting.
St. Joe Beach property owner Tom Graney went before the BOCC to talk about the ongoing problems with the Americus ditch project.
"It's not functioning properly," Graney told the council of the $1.2 million project installed more than six years ago.
Graney said that District 3 Commissioner Joanna Bryan had brought findings on the project to the last meeting but her fellow commissioners had ignored them.
"By not discussing it, now you must deal with it," said Graney. "The pipe doesn't stay in the ground."
Graney requested that engineers who installed the pipe come before the board to explain why it requires constant repairs and why the project ended up costing more than originally projected.
Since work on the pipe system was completed in 2008, the site has undergone nearly 150 repairs, averaging three a month.
Graney went on to accuse the board of violating a Florida Statute when they first awarded the bid.
According to Florida Law, contractors must be prequalified with the Department of Transportation to bid on road, bridge, or public transportation construction projects greater than $250,000.
"The bidder was clearly unqualified," said Graney. "Something is wrong with the bid process."
He encouraged commissioners to figure out how to fix the existing problems before they began popping up elsewhere in the county as additional drainage is added to accommodate new residents.
After having his speaking time extended twice, Graney looked to the board for a response.
Chairman Tan Smiley said he'd spoken with two residents on Americus who had said that the pipe system wasn't perfect, but it was better than what they had, referring to the standing water that existed previously.
"No one made a fuss like you are today," Smiley said to Graney.
Commissioner Ward McDaniel asked Graney not to focus on the bid process that happened six years ago, prior to most of the BOCC members being elected and encouraged him to have a positive attitude toward the situation.
"You're trying to pass the buck on a previous board," said McDaniel. "Yes, we've got some problems. Issues developed in during the process."
Before he stepped away from the podium, Graney encouraged commissioners to either stop the growth of Gulf County or be able to plan for it.
He worried about the ditch's effects on drainage if the area had a repeat of last summer's rainfall which brought the area 25 inches in 30 days.
Graney agreed that public education was necessary to stop the flooding and asked the residents of Gulf County to stop pouring concrete driveways as it doesn't allow water to drain properly.
He also asked his fellow citizens to be mindful of their water use and said that during the summer downpours he still saw sprinklers on in some yards around St. Joe Beach.
Prior to adjourning, the topic switched to the Economic Development Alliance and the resignation of director Barry Sellers, whose last day was on Nov. 29.
Neal Wade, executive director of the Bay County EDA will oversee operations, according to Commissioner Warren Yeager, and the commissioners voted to make Tourist Development Council executive director Jennifer Jenkins the point of contact.
The EDA planned to give $4,500 to the Port Authority to get through May of next year though Commissioner Carmen McLemore asked what would happen with the remainder of Sellers' budget since he'd only been paid around $20,000 of an $80,000 salary.
McLemore didn't want the EDA to spend it but rather have it as a surplus in case of emergency.
County attorney Jeremy Novak said that the County had a contract with the EDA and without Sellers employed; they still had a contractual obligation to the group.
"Once they get the port going, they're not going to need it," Yeager told McLemore alluding to the EDA funding from the BOCC. "I'm more encouraged now than I've ever been."
McLemore expressed his frustration and told his fellow commissioners that they can't keep throwing money into a bucket and not get a return. Yeager asked McLemore to give it a little more time.

Welcome Parents and Families! We are excited that you are participating in your students journey at Kent State University. Please look at our website for any help you may need in assisting your student in their college career.
Tips for a successful parent /college student relationship
TRUST THEM. Finding oneself is difficult enough without feeling that the people whose opinions you respect most are second-guessing you. One of the most important things you can do as a parent is to trust your student.
ASK QUESTIONS (BUT NOT TOO MANY). Many college students think they are "cool" and may resent interference with their newfound independence. Most desire the security of knowing that you are still interested in their well-being. Parental curiosity may add more stress than relief, depending on the attitudes of the persons involved. Try to avoid "I-have a- right-to-know" tinged questions with ulterior motives or "the nag." Honest inquiries, however, and the "between friends" communication and discussion will do much to strengthen the parent-student relationship.
BE PATIENT. Simply put: Be patient.
IT'S ALL PART OF GROWING UP. The first year of college is full of discovery, inspiration, good times, and new friends. Students experience indecision, disappointments, and mistakes. It will take time for some students to realize that making mistakes and being happy, sad, confused, liked, and disappointed are all part of growing up. Parents need to understand that many college students do not earn good grades, know what major they want to study, have activity-filled days, or make lots of friends. While there are students who experience these things, many others undergo trials and hardships. Being college-educated does not mean one is infallible. Parents who try to accept and understand their student's experiences are providing timely support and encouragement.
TAKE TIME TO DISCUSS FINANCES. Discuss your family's financial status with your son or daughter. Students need to know how much money will be available to them and how much of the fiscal responsibility is theirs.
IF YOUR STUDENT LIVES AT HOME, RELAX OR ELIMINATE HOME CURFEWS. Commuter students may be on campus quite late to attend review sessions or to complete homework and class projects in small groups. Many professors create group assignments because collaborative work strengthens their students' understanding of the course content and prepares them for teamwork in a professional work setting. Students also join campus organizations to develop friendships and to explore career, cultural, and personal interests. Organizational meetings are usually after 7 p.m.
If you have any questions or concerns about your student commuting to campus please feel free to contact Rebecca Kapler, Coordinator for Off-Campus and Commuter Services at 330-672-5288 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

- How Do I Recycle My...
At School
Schools can reduce and better manage their waste by working with businesses and local governments. Students, faculty, and staff can work together for a better environment.
For Students
Waste Reduction and Recycling
Quick Tips:
- Before starting a new school year, sort through the school supplies on-hand. Many supplies, like notebooks or pens and pencils, can be reused or recycled. You can share your used books and other school supplies with friends, relatives, or younger schoolchildren.
- For school dances or other events, decorations and other supplies can be borrowed or rented. If you buy these supplies, try adopting a theme that can be used from year-to-year, so that you can reuse them.
- Many schools reuse text books to save money and reduce waste. Covering your textbooks with cut-up grocery or shopping bags helps reduce waste and keeps your books in good condition.
- If you buy lunch, take and use only what you need: one napkin, one ketchup packet, one salt packet, one pepper packet, one set of flatware. Remember to recycle your cans and bottles, and separate your waste if your school has separation bins.
- To reduce packaging waste, use school supplies wrapped with minimal packaging, use compact or concentrated products, or buy products in bulk.
Community Service and Volunteering
Quick Tips:
- Volunteer for, or start, an environmental club or recycling project in your school. Work with your teachers and friends to find ways to encourage everyone in your community to make waste reduction a part of their everyday lives, such as starting a school composting project or ask for a day in art class where you can use things that would have normally been thrown away.
- Tell your teachers you want to have a time dedicated to learning more about what you and your fellow classmates can do for the environment.
- If you are a college student, you can participate in the OnCampus ecoAmbassadors Program to help green your campus and promote environmental awareness.
For Faculty and Staff
Waste Reduction and Recycling
Quick Tips:
- Before starting a new school year, sort through your materials. Many supplies can be reused or recycled. Notebooks, folders, and binders can be reused.
- To reduce packaging waste, use school supplies wrapped with minimal packaging, use compact or concentrated products, or buy products in bulk.
- Borrow or rent your decorations and supplies for parties and events. If you buy these supplies, try adopting a theme that can be used from year-to-year, so that you can reuse your decorations and supplies.
Setting up Programs
Quick Tips:
- Form a team with committees to take charge of specific tasks.
- Set an agenda or goals for the program, and engage parents and volunteers in the process.
- Secure materials, donations, and other resources from your community.
Chemical Management
Quick Tips:
- Take note of – but do not touch – chemicals in classrooms, janitorial closets and facility management sheds that do not have proper labels, are old and dusty or look unsafe (for example, have crystals growing around cap). Immediately report the location and description of the chemicals to the principal and the science department chair.
- Promote responsible chemical management so that students and staff are protected from chemical accidents or exposures.
- Incorporate green chemistry and sustainability lesson plans in the chemistry curriculum.
- Contact your local household hazardous waste collection facility for instructions on safely disposing of harmful waste products and materials, such as empty aerosol paint cans, leftover paint and thinners, used solvents and paint chips, unused garden products like fertilizers and pesticides, and household chemicals.
- Properly store unused paint for future use, donate to neighbors or charities, or turn in to a waste collection facility for recycling.

Jetpack Wedding Makes History
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a….wedding? Grant Engler and Amanda Volf weren't content to do the average walk down the ceremony aisle, so they traded in their tux and dress for jetpacks while 40 guests looked on. Too bad the futuristic contraption doesn't come in white.
For the reception the couple danced in midair to "Come Fly With Me" by Frank Sinatra. Let's hope their first child isn't born to "Fly Me To The Moon"!
The couple ended the wedding with a jetpack tour of Newport Bay in California.
I always thought Elroy Jetson would be the first person to have a jetpack wedding, but this couple beat him to it!
Congrats to Grant and Amanda on their wedding, and for making history.

The bust is a form of decor that dates back thousands of years. Long before the ancient Romans and Greeks were putting the busts of deities and politicians on display, the ancient Egyptians were doing the same thing with figures carved in basalt and sandstone. The power of the bust is that it focuses in on the face of a person to show beauty and admirable, noble qualities. We carry marble busts for every decorating theme.
The lovely Veiled Maiden Sculptural Bust is a replica of a stunning nineteenth century work of art done by Raphael Monti. The elegance and impressive artistic nature of the original are faithfully represented in this detailed replica. This is a beautiful, thought provoking indoor statue that will become a conversation piece and be admired by all of your guests.
Actors and fans of the theater will love a desktop bust of the most famous bard in history. The William Shakespeare Sculptural Bust is a quality replica of an original, nineteenth century work of art by Emile Guillemin. You can also pay homage to Shakespeare with a larger bust of his likeness that also works well as garden statuary.

Course structure
The Herzing University Online MBA degree programs were designed with the busy adult in mind. The school year has three semesters, and each semester is comprised of two 7 ½-week terms. Students have new classes every eight weeks, separated by either a long weekend or the winter or summer break.
Program length
Typically, graduate students can choose to take approximately one class at a time and complete their program in 2 years, or take approximately two courses at a time and finish in 1 year. In addition, students may adjust their schedules as other responsibilities permit, taking a lighter course load some terms and a heavier load in others.
Online students should expect to spend a minimum of six (6) hours per week (over a 7½-week period) in their studies for each semester credit hour enrolled. This would include reading, researching, and writing papers, doing projects, completing exercises, studying, and reflecting on the course material as well as the time spent on the computer participating in discussion threads, reviewing online course materials, taking tests, and uploading/ downloading materials. The time devoted to classes scheduled for other than 7½-week periods would adjust proportionately.
Students will be required to participate in some group projects, but most assignments are completed on an individual basis. Homework assignments are posted at the beginning of the week and must be completed and submitted by the due date. Typical assignments include a discussion question or two based on the lecture and reading due by mid-week (with replies and comments on classmates' posts by the end of the week), and a written assignment or test due at the end of the week.
Depending on the course, students may be required to write essays, complete term projects, and/or take exams. Instructional materials differ for each course but often include electronic textbooks, website links, voice-over PowerPoint lectures, journal articles, case studies, and interviews.
Faculty availability
Instructors are available by internal message and telephone. Faculty can be reached for immediate answers during their posted office hours and will respond within 36 hours to any questions received outside of those hours.
Because class sizes are kept small, your instructor is also your tutor. Students and instructors can interact in a chat-like manner that allows for real-time discussion and example exercises. If the instructor's posted office hours conflict with a student's schedule, special appointments can be made.

The idea was to recreate the L89 427 with all aftermarket parts just to see if we could best the GM power numbers. What we didn't know until we chucked the motor on a dyno is we built a little 427 that is knocking on the door of the race-only L88. Not only did we build a pretty healthy engine, we did it without pushing everything to the limits. If we want to expand our pump-gas 427-or we should say our 0.030-over 427 (433ci)-it can be built up into the 600ci range because we used an aftermarket block. Funny how we are calling a 427 small-man, how things have changed.
Last month, we covered how to blueprint an engine using this engine as the guinea pig. This story will cover the parts recipe and dyno tuning of the rev-happy Rat. Instead of trying to find a clean block out of the junkyard or swap meet, we decided to start with something better. Dart's Big M iron block will be the foundation for the build. Inside the block, we used an Eagle forged 4340 chromoly-steel crankshaft, Eagle I-beam rods, and forged JE 30cc domed pistons.
To make sure this 427 sounded as nasty as possible, we ordered up a Big Mutha' Thumpr cam from Comp. Let us tell you, this cam does thump. Again, instead of trying to find a factory set of painfully expensive, rare aluminum heads, we grabbed a set of Darts new 275cc Pro 1 oval port castings. These heads have many cool features that make them better than factory, but we will get into that later. To cap off the top end, we picked up a Weiand Stealth dual-plane intake manifold and a Holley 750 CFM Street HP carburetor. Providing spark is a digital E-Curve distributor from MSD. It's a billet aluminum small body distributor that has a digital module inside so you can set the timing curve with two rotary dials.
Now that you have an idea of the components we used to build our version of the L89, let's get into the good stuff. Jeff Strech from Speed-O-Motive took time out of his busy schedule to finish assembling our long block and tune it on the dyno.

So close, yet so far.
During last week's regular meeting of the Port St. Joe City Commission, city manager Jim Anderson notified the board that the Paces Foundation, which operates out of Smyrna, Ga. had failed to secure federal housing tax credits it would use to leverage funds for an affordable housing complex that would bring approximately 70 single family homes to Port St. Joe's North side.
"The property is still viable for affordable housing, just not with Paces right now," said Mayor Mel Magidson. "We have the property, we just need someone to come and develop it."
In August, Paces President Mark du Mas presented his plans to commissioners during which he said he would apply for a tax credit program that would require the foundation to go to Tallahassee to compete for housing credits.
Once awarded, Paces planned to sell the credits to banks in order to fund the structures.
While Paces did not receive the housing credits, they would be able to reapply next year.
During the meeting's Fair Housing Workshop held by Bruce Ballister of the Apalachee Regional Planning Council, Ballister commiserated with commissioners over the setback. Ballister said that he knew of other foundations that may be able to help get affordable housing into Port St. Joe if Paces was unable to do so.
"Florida coastal affordable housing is notoriously difficult," said Ballister. "It's to be commended if you can make it happen."
While Magidson welcomed the recommendations, Anderson said Paces was exploring other ways of funding the project.
Also making news was the Golden Arches of David Costa's McDonald's at First Street and U.S. Highway 98. The sign is still in violation of the city's sign ordinance and must be replaced with one much smaller.
Commissioner William Thursbay led off what has been an ongoing discussion with a motion to extend Costa's deadline from Dec. 31 until the following year.
Magidson countered Thursbay's motion asking why they should give Costa another year when he'd already had years to fix the sign.
Costa was in the crowd and took the podium to provide his side of the story.
Costa said that he had purchased the McDonald's in January 2011 and was not told by the corporation that the sign was in violation.
According to Costa, a corporate representative had been sent to previous commission meetings and the information was never passed along.
"We've tried to be good neighbors, making this building something you'd be proud of," said Costa.
A regular sponsor of the annual Scallop Festival, Costa said he was donating $50,000 to help remodel four kindergarten buildings in Gulf County.
The original deadline for the sign to be brought into compliance was Oct. 1, but a previous extension gave Costa until the end of the year. The business owner said that if he knew the sign was an issue, he would have replaced it during a large remodel.
"We'll do what we need to do to comply, but consider the time period," said Costa. "We'd prefer to use the money to put it into the schools."
Magidson read Costa the meeting minutes from two years ago when commissioners first began talks with McDonald's corporate about the sign.
"I resent that you can give to schools, but you can't follow the rules," said Magidson to Costa. "I think you need to go to McDonald's and get your money back.
"I just don't think another year is appropriate."
Thursbay changed his motion to a six-month extension for Costa and Commissioner Rex Buzzett agreed that it was reasonable.
Buzzett said, "I appreciate your contributions to the city, but it takes all of us working together to make the city what it is."
After conversation ended a 3-2 (Magidson, Buzzett dissenting) vote awarded Costa a six-month extension.

what to buy
When considering how to cool a home, there are two main options: central air conditioners (which typically mount outside and cool the whole house) and smaller units that go inside the home. This second type -- which includes window and portable air conditioners -- costs less, isn't permanently installed and is designed to keep one room comfortable.
Portable air conditioners are a great alternative to window-mount units. The best ones can be set up quickly by just one person and can be moved fairly easily to cool a different room. Even though it doesn't commandeer a large section of the window (like a window-mount air conditioner), portable units still need access to outside air. Each comes with a window kit, which mounts one or two hoses to a small opening in your window. Experts prefer the dual-hose style because they cool the hot air that's already inside the house and then return it to the room. A second intake hose pumps in air from the outside to cool the device and keep it from overheating, and then pushes the air right back out. Experts say this type of system is much more efficient because the device isn't constantly working against itself.
Failing to connect the air conditioner to a window or hooking it up incorrectly dampens performance -- appliance professionals say this is one of the most common issues behind a portable air conditioner that isn't blowing enough cold air.
As they cool, most air conditioners pull excess moisture from the air. This is stored in a water tank that must be periodically emptied (machines will shut down when the tank is full) or drained continually through a hose running outside. Portable air conditioners with a self-evaporative system manage this moisture automatically, though in very humid climates the water tank may still need to be emptied occasionally. Ideally, the dehumidifying function should operate independently of the cooling.
There are two main sizes of portable air conditioners, large and small. Small units are under 10,000 Btu and are often called mini air conditioners. The best size for your room depends on its square footage and the amount of sun it receives. Some portable air conditioners extend their abilities with a separate filter, dehumidifier and heater functions, and the prices for those appliances are fairly reasonable, experts say.
Expect to pay $300 to $500 for a portable air conditioner, depending on the size. Some experts say that when comparing portable units to other types of air conditioners, the overall cooling power of a stand-alone air conditioner can't keep up. However, if a portable is your only option, a dual-hose model is your best bet. Consumer reviewers generally heap high praise on their portable units for cooling a room down enough to be comfortable.
ConsumerSearch editors analyzed hundreds of owner reviews to find the top mini and full-sized portable air conditioners. We culled the list by selecting only units that effectively cool the recommended square footage, include low-maintenance features and operate quietly. Our top picks are easy to install and include user-friendly extras like air filters and a separate dehumidifying function.

This rich and beautifully crafted film highlights one of the great mysteries of current European cinema: why has its Czech director Jan Hrebejk not yet been enshrined within the top tier of contemporary filmmakers? His skill -- and that of his regular screenwriter, Petr Jarkovsky -- is showcased to breathtaking effect in this gripping study of family secrets, betrayal and reconciliation in the post-Communist era. Brilliantly paced and performed, it is one of 2010's must-sees.

Can it be used in the water ( SWIMMING POOL) ??
- Asked by Danilava A from Paris
Nike+ FuelBand
Product No Longer Available
2 Answers from the Community
It is 'water resistant', not 'waterproof'. Small splashes, washing your hands, etc, and you are covered, but swimming is not a 'small splash' and the FuelBand will flood and likely be damaged beyond what a bag if rice can possibly fix. I never wear mine in the shower because of the possibility of it being flooded with the hot soapy water.
So the answer is no.
I think Nike missed a large specialized market if the FuelBand was waterproof. Who knows, possibly the next version will be...
- Answered by Robert C from Saginaw
It can be used in the shower or in the rain but not in the swimming pool. I even wouldn't use it in the shower but it is possible. If you want more info the best place to find out is on the nike website not on the apple website.
