Target CEO now favors credit cards with chip technology, WSJ reports
A decade after rejecting the idea, Target's CEO Gregg Steinhafel wants retailers and banks to use chip-based credit card technology to better help protect shoppers, reports the Wall Street Journal. Chip-based credit cards are used throughout Canada and Europe, and are more difficult for thieves to profit from the sort of massive data breach that hit Target over the holidays.

Criteo rises after said to add Alibaba, Target as customers
Shares of digital marketing solutions provider Criteo (CRTO) are rising in early trading after research firm Pacific Crest raised its price target on the stock. The firm also notes that it appears Criteo has recently added Alibaba (BABA) and Target (TGT) as customers. WHAT'S NEW: In a note to investors this morning, Pacific Crest analyst Evan Wilson said that the firm's checks indicate that Criteo now has cookies on 49% of the top 100 retail and travel websites in the U.S. Wilson noted that Google (GOOG) has 76% of the top 100, but suggested also that its heavy overlap with Criteo reinforces the view that the two companies' cookies serve different purposes. Wilson said Target was a notable Criteo win in the U.S. during Q2, while also saying the firm discovered that some Alibaba sites outside of China now have a Criteo cookie for the first time. Wilson raised his 2016 estimates for Criteo citing the continued strong checks and increased the firm's price target on the stock to $65 from $55. PRICE ACTION: In early trading, Criteo grained $2.30, or 4.8%, to $49.97.

Valley City Dr. Genevieve Goven has been appointed to a term on the North Dakota State Board of Medical Examiners by Gov. Jack Dalrymple.
Local medical historian Paul Vangerud said Friday Goven is the first Valley City doctor to serve on the board since Dr. Neil McDonald served on the board for eight years in the 1970s.
"It's really quite an honor," said Goven Friday.
The Valley City Community Gardens will have a 2012 membership meeting on Monday, April 16 at the Valley City High School cafeteria at 7 p.m.
North Dakota State University Extension Service agent Ellen Bjelland said there were seven 20-by-20 foot plots available on Thursday. The total cost to use the plots from April 15 through October 15 is $40.
"The $10 is refundable if you clean off your lot in the fall, and the $30 is not refundable, that's to cover water, plastic pathways," she said.
Valley City Auditor Avis Richter received the Innovator Award at the Municipal Government Academy awards ceremony during the North Dakota League of Cities' ninth annual workshop held March 20-22 in Bismarck.
Thursday Richter said she received the award for specialized training she received both through the league of cities and the Municipal Finance Officers Association.
"It is for training I receive throughout the year," Richter said.
Clausen Springs has one more hurdle to jump before the park can be returned to its former glory.
The Barnes County Park Board has hired Kadrmas Lee and Jackson to do the engineering for repairs to approximately 2 miles of road in the park from the entrance to the dam. The road was demolished during construction on the dam that wrapped up late last summer.
KLJ engineer Chad Peterson said the county has FEMA funding to cover most of the work, as long as it stays within the agency's assessment.
Late-evening rain showers Thursday capped off a week of chilly and windy weather in the southeast corner of the state. Weekend forecasts are calling for a mix of warm and cool temperatures, with just a small chance of precipitation.
"There's a low pressure system coming up from Nebraska and South Dakota, moving south to north," said meteorologist Jim Kaiser of the National Weather Service in Grand Forks. "It's an unsettled pattern, so the rain should end overnight tonight, Saturday should be dry, and there's another slight shower chance Sunday."
The centennial of the Titanic's sinking provides an opportunity to look back at a disaster that, at the time, made waves in Barnes County and around the world.
When the world's largest ocean liner struck an iceberg in the north Atlantic on the night of April 14, 1912, an ongoing fascination was sparked with both the human aspect of the tragedy, and the failures and successes of the ship's technology.
Valley City resident Irma Ness recalled a family story about her grandfather, George Chapman, perishing in the sinking shortly after he and his wife abandoned their large family.
VCHS baseball loses
The Valley City State University baseball team lost a double header Tuesday at home to West Fargo.
The Hi-Liners lost 16-0 and 19-1. The team had no hits in the first game, but had one run on three hits in the second game.
VCHS softball loses
The Hi-Liner softball team was no-hit on the road Tuesday in a 10-0 loss in five innings to West Fargo.
Valley City kept it close early, trailing only 4-0 after the third inning, but the Packers put it away with five runs in the fifth inning. The offense was hitless, drawing one walk.
With a big four-game series against Jamestown coming up this weekend, the Valley City State University baseball team used a different pitching strategy than it normally would in a double header sweep to NCAA Division II Northern (S.D.) State University.
Instead of starting one guy and keeping him in as long as possible, the team constantly rotated pitchers, splitting the 14 total innings amongst 10 different pitchers. None stayed in longer than two innings.
Open Door Center is a member of the Barnes County ACHIEVE. ACHIEVE is the acronym for Action Committee for Innovation and EnVironmental Change.
The local partnership was organized in 2010 for the purpose of reducing chronic diseases in Valley City and the surrounding area by pursuing local Policy, Systems and Environment changes that will more effectively promote good health.
The local ACHIEVE partnership brings together many local organizations representing health care, education , commerce, recreation and fitness, nutrition and special populations.
In a move to solidify the final piece of funding for the upcoming Phase One home buyouts, the Valley City City Commission approved accepting a loan of $1 million from the Public Works electrical department at a special meeting Tuesday.
"We felt that it was time to make a vote on this," said City Commissioner Matt Pedersen. "The buyout candidates are ready to go."
"I don't think we've got a choice of where we get the money," said Mayor Bob Werkhoven, "and the City Attorney has indicated that we are within the law as far as (the loan), so now we can feel our conscience is clear."

Essay - Intercultural Communication Essay 1 Explain How Differences in the Perception...
Intercultural Communication
Essay 1
Explain how differences in the perception of time and the use of space affect intercultural and co-cultural communication.
Imagine this scenario. You arrive for an afternoon meeting at ***** scheduled *****. ***** have just suffered a long flight from New York to Paris. Forty-five minutes l*****er, the representatives from your organization's French branch sally into the conference room. They are still discussing the delightful new cafe they discovered, where they have enjoyed a two-hour lunch. 'Why didn't ***** leave on time for our c*****fully scheduled meeting,' you rage inside, 'how could they be so inc*****siderate?' Later, when you explain your ire to a ***** friend, he does not understand why less than an hour was so important ***** you.
***** another scenario. You are meeting the representatives ***** a Japanese organization ***** business hopes to embark upon in a joint venture. The two of you offer your hands to shake. They do *****, gently, while you and your colleague give a firm *****hake, to show that you mean business. You sit close by ********** representatives at the table, ***** show ***** friendliness, but ***** seem standoffish. ***** leave the meeting feeling as though things did not go well, that the two of you did ***** make a good impression. Yet despite ********** apparent dislike ***** American closeness in physical gestures of friendship, you note that many ***** citizens happily pack themselves ********** loaded commuter trains.
***** experiences illustrate some differences in how different cultures value time, such ***** American's premium upon ***** equating money, versus the French value upon leisure and quality of life, or the different protocols regarding personal space that vary between and within cultures depending on different situational contexts. A largely Muslim nation like Morocco might be quite flexible about the *****ginnings of meeting times, *****n its French colonial history but ***** times for prayers to Mecca are inflexible. Even within the United States, a Southerner might be t*****ken aback by what he sees as an impatient, 'in your face' ***** Yorker. Thus cultural awareness is important, so ***** cultural norms are not read as rudeness or ingratitude and impede real underst*****ing ***** *****s or regions.
Essay 2
What are t***** ***** in behavi***** exhibited by people who come from cultures that have ***** activity orientations?
Activity orientations refer to the culture's degree on emph*****is in 'doing' and 'being.' This stress upon what someone does is almost immediately apparent in a cocktail party in the ***** States. "What do you do?" is ***** first question everyone is asked, as if vocation is synonymous with identity. Pragmatic, logical, and forward-thinking approaches and an emphasis on getting ***** ********** are the hallmarks of American business and in American society' do*****g one's job is ***** with doing something ***** measurable value.

"It's like getting a lifetime ticket to an in-depth museum and art-gallery tour, for $29.95," said Whitman publisher Dennis Tucker.
"Fred Reed is one of the very best numismatic writers going. He combines encyclopedic knowledge with a real flair for the written word – there aren't many people who possess both kinds of talent." -- Dr. Richard Doty, Senior Curator, National Numismatic Collection, Smithsonian Institution
"Fred's tireless efforts on all of his publications, from the Encased Postage, Show Me the Money and Lincoln books, plus his editing of Paper Money and writing in Bank Note Reporter all deserve the highest recognition of our hobby." -- Wayne Homren, E-Sylum
Fred Reed has been a journalist for more than 40 years, employed on the staffs of daily, weekly, monthly and annual publications in five states and the Republic of Korea. His positions have ranged from compositor, proof reader and editor to Editorial Director, Publisher and Vice President of Publishing. He is the author or co-author of fifteen books (including four in press), and is editor of nine more.
Fred is a Fellow of the American Numismatic Society, a Charter Member of the Civil War Token Society, and a member of the Authors Guild, Numismatic Literary Guild, American Numismatic Association, Society of Paper Money Collectors, Token & Medal Society, American Political Items Collectors, Numismatic Bibliomania Society, Fractional Currency Collectors Board, Central States Numismatic Society, International Bank Note Society, Society of Bearded Numismatists and other organizations.
On October 5, 2013, during the Central States Numismatic Society Educational Forum in Wichita, KS, author Fred Reed will unveil his newest book in his seven-book "A Numismatist's Perspective on the Civil War," titled Civil War Stamp Envelopes, the Issuers and Their Times. The 672-page opus catalogs 514 different small envelopes printed to contain and preserve stamps in circulation as small change during summer and fall 1862. When the national government failed to supply the want of fractional change for more than a half year, nearly 130 enterprising merchants rushed into the void with this inventive "coin of the realm," after Congress had monetized "postage and other stamps" for this purpose.
On November 19, 2012, author/Lincoln enthusiast Fred Reed and Whitman Publishing debuted a sequel to Fred's highly successful book for the 2009 Lincoln Bicentennial. The new work, entitled Abraham Lincoln: Beyond the American Icon, expands upon the themes the author introduced in his first book on Lincoln's image and imagery. "AbeBook2" includes entirely new text, and more than 1,400 all new images in full color in 484 pages, including end notes, bibliography, and index. "AbeBook2" was honored with the Numismatic Literary Guild "Best Book, Tokens and Medals" for 2013, and a special Token & Medal Society Presidential Award for contributions to the hobby.
June 8th 2012 at the Memphis International Paper Money Show, co-authors Pierre Fricke and Fred Reed unveiled their new work History of Collecting Confederate States of America Paper Money, Volume 1, 1865-1945. This new book is an outgrowth of Fred's award-winning series "Shades of the Blue & Grey" published in Bank Note Reporter since 2004. His co-author is the author of three other works on CSA paper money. Two months later this book was awarded "Best U.S. Paper Money Book of the Year" by the Numismatic Literary Guild. A second volume detailing developments in this collecting field since World War II to present will be published in the future.
His award-winning book Abraham Lincoln, the Image of His Greatness (Whitman Publishing, 2009) was issued for the bicentennial of Old Abe's birth. It culminates Reed's 50 years collecting and studying Lincolniana, and dozens of published articles on the topic. The 280-page book has nearly 1,000 full color illustrations from Fred's incomparable collection, museums, archives and other collections. Fred's "AbeBook" has received three "Book(s) of the Year" awards from the Numismatic Literary Guild, the Society of Paper Money Collectors, and the Professional Currency Dealers Association. Reed's "AbeBook" was also an Invited Candidate for The Lincoln Group of New York's annual Award of Achievement—a rare honor highly prized in Lincoln-research circles.
He authored Show Me the Money! The Standard Catalog of Motion Picture, Television, Stage and Advertising Prop Money (McFarland, 2005) after viewing more than 1,200 motion pictures. The nearly 800-page work catalogs 1,800+ different varieties of prop money, and chronicles their use in 600+ films and television programs. According to the publisher's count, the volume has 2,071 illustrations of prop money, and the notes in use through movie stills and movie posters. The book won the "Best Worldwide Paper Money Book" award from the Numismatic Literary Guild, and a Society of Paper Money Collectors "Award of Merit."
Reed's 1995 tome, Civil War Encased Stamps, the Issuers and Their Times tells the story of the Civil War financial panic in an entirely fresh way based on exhaustive research in archives and university libraries in many states. In mid-1862 excessive government borrowing and military spending had created severe inflation. Public hoarding had sapped coinage from circulation. Congress responded by monetizing postage stamps. John Gault solved part of their problem by devising his new metallic currency, a metal and mica case to protect the sticky gumbacks while in circulation. This critically acclaimed 560-page book received seven awards, including the Numismatic Literary Guild "Best Tokens and Medals Book" and the Society of Paper Money Collector's "Nathan Gold Lifetime Achievement Award," one of two such awards he's received from that organization. The volume was selected for permanent recording by the LDS Intellectual Reserve Inc., and the United States Post Office reprinted part of it in a bicentennial history of the Cincinnati Post Office. The Numismatic Bibliomania Society recently selected it as the 106th greatest numismatic book or catalog of all time. It was the first numismatic book also released on CD-ROM. A revised, second edition is in preparation.
Fred is Editor/Publisher of the award-winning, bimonthly journal Paper Money. Since December 1999 when Fred was named Editor, that publication has won six firsts, six seconds, and a third place award in the American Numismatic Association's annual "Best Specialty Club" publication contest, and five "Best Issue" awards from the Numismatic Literary Guild. Fred is also Editor and Publisher of the Token and Medal Society's bimonthly publication TAMS Journal.

In addition, he has published several thousand news/feature/research articles in periodicals such as The Numismatist, Lincoln Herald, Numismatic News, Coin World, Bank Note Reporter, Coins magazine, American Hard Assets, Legacy, COINage, Journal of the Civil War Token Society, Heritage Insider, Charisma, Paper Money, TAMS Journal, Post Card Collector, Beckett Monthly, Eternity, Soldiers, Pacific Stars and Stripes, Spiritual Fitness in Business, Linn's Weekly Stamp News, Paper Money Values, Whitman Review, Ministries Today, Beanie Collector, Christian Psychology for Today, Collector's Confidential, FCCB Newsletter, Journal of the Civil War Philatelic Society, IBNS Journal, The Blue and the Grey, Beckett Vintage Sports, MPC Gram, eSylum, Petersen's Photographic, Lucky Times, The Gauntlet, Sidney Daily News, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Daily O'Collegian, Daily Oklahoman, and Ararat Report.

His various numismatic writings have earned him 41 awards from the Numismatic Literary Guild since 1996 including "Best Portfolio" in 2012, and additional major awards from the American Numismatic Association, the Society of Paper Money Collectors, the World Philatelic Congress Pacifica '97, Print & Production Design magazine, Chicago Philatelic Society, Dallas Press Club and other organizations. Fred received a U.S. Army Commendation Medal for his news journalism, columns, and "contributions to the modern volunteer Army." He was also honored by Continental Army Command, Army Times, and the joint services Defense Information School. The American Numismatic Association, Central States Numismatic Society, and the Society of Paper Money Collectors have awarded Reed various grants to further his research. From the ANA, Fred has received an ANA Presidential Award (2011), a First Place Heath Literary Award (2008) as the outstanding article in the previous year's The Numismatist, a Wayte and Olga Raymond Award (2008) for original and comprehensive research in U.S. numismatics, and three consecutive Catherine Sheehan Literary Awards for Paper Money Studies (2008-2010).

MEDIEVAL Islamic tilers, long renowned for the beauty of their designs, now seem to have been even more skilled than we appreciated. Working with only a straight edge and compasses, they managed to create intricate geometric patterns that wouldn't be understood by western mathematicians for at least 500 years.
They did it, says Peter Lu of Harvard University, because they understood Penrose tiles - a way of tiling two geometric shapes in a pattern that doesn't quite repeat itself but that has five-fold rotational symmetry. Patterns like this were thought to be impossible until the mathematician Roger Penrose showed how to make them in the 1970s, but it seems that medieval architects got there rather earlier. Lu recognised the patterns on a visit to Uzbekistan.
Islamic architects used tiles known as girih, often of thick and thin rhomboids, to create the complex patterns such as those seen in the Darb-i ...

Department Graduate Institute of Industrial Management Year 2008 Semester 2 Degree Master Type of Document Master's Thesis Language English Title A service-oriented information system for developing product platform Date of Defense 2009-06-18 Page Count 37 Keyword information system object-oriented methodology product platform service-oriented architecture Abstract To compete in the global market, product platform development (PPD) plays a crucial role in developing multiple products. While this new approach benefits the manufacturer to target broader market more efficiently, a great amount of information and variety of expertise regarding the lifecycle of the product platform need to be shared and integrated along the PPD project implementation. In addition, as an emerging trend, PPD is often demands collaboration across business partners that are distributed geographically and organizationally.
Considering PPD as a knowledge sharing process with intensive cooperative communication in a distributed computing environment, this study proposes an information system to facilitate the project manager to control the PPD project and the design team to perform various tasks regarding the product platform's lifecycle. To develop the information system, object-oriented methodology (OOM) and service-oriented architecture (SOA) are adopted and integrated in an analytical framework. Focusing on the PPD scenarios, OOM is to identify and classify businesses objects, and SOA is to prototype the information system. A case on electronic reading device development will be depicted to demonstrate proposed information system.

Dear Mr Bear,
I've had my shiny new iPad for ten days now and I've just realised - it's a slate, as described in Eon! It was only 5 or so years late as well. And using its WiFi or 3G capability you can link it to a more powerful 'processor' as well. I've already used mine to hook up to my Ubuntu server. They'll have to prise it from my cold, dead hands ....
Best wishes and thanks for many happy years reading your books.

Grenville County
Historical Society Inc.
The Grenville Pioneer and Historical Society was founded in 1891. The qualification then for membership was "a descendant of an ancestor resident in Canada in 1792." First president was F.J. French, a lawyer and Queen's Counsel, who was born in Burritt's Rapids in 1847. By 1914 women were allowed to become members as well. The membership fee was "10 cents in 1891" and it had changed to "50 cents for males and adults and 25 cents for ladies and all persons under 21" by 1914. In 1922 the name of the society had changed, and was listed in their records as the Grenville Pioneer Society. The Society was disbanded by 1924 and all the material that had been collected was picked up from Mr. French's home after his death in 1924 by the provincial Archivist in Toronto.
The Grenville County Historical Society was reorganized in 1959, largely through the efforts of the late Phyllis Stephenson and of Jean Wadds (at that time Jean Casselman, MP for Grenville-Carleton), with the organizing meeting taking place at St. Mark's School in Prescott on Dec. 1, 1959, with Edward McNally sworn in as president. The first official meeting was in Jan. 1960.
GCHS originally stored the artifacts and paper materials that were collected, in the Grenville County Registry Office and in the homes of members, until given the opportunity of moving to Room 36 in the Prescott Municipal Building. That room also became too small for the collection. The holdings were moved in 1980 to the second floor of Homewood Museum, and it served as an archives, resource centre, and office for the society while they administered the operation of the museum for the Ontario Heritage Foundation. The museum interpreted the history of the Solomon Jones family. In 1991 GCHS moved to the west wing of Homewood and operated the Archival Resource Centre, as well as continuing to operate the museum, until the collection moved once more in 1995, this time to Crane House at 439 Edward Street, Prescott. Our last move took us to the the old Grand Trunk Railway Station at 500 Railway Avenue in Prescott in 2007. We are particularly proud of our new quarters, as our members have restored the station and made extensive renovations to accommodate our collection. Hopefully we will have a long stay here.

"Indian Children Used to Play"
Long before Grenville County was given this name, approximately 500 years ago, it was occupied by a native population. The St. Lawrence Iroquois lived in longhouses in agricultural communities with some of these sites containing as many as 1600 people. Two important archeological excavations have been done in Grenville County, one in 1974 in Roebuck, and one in 1987 in Maynard (Maynard-McKeown site) where much was learned about these early native tribes. The natives were farmers growing corn, beans, squash, sunflowers, and tobacco, sometimes fishing for food and hunting on a smaller scale. A few smaller digs (Cleary site near Spencerville and Crystal Rock site) have been done over the years in the county as well.
French, then British Occupation
The French also occupied Grenville County with explorers and fur traders passing through this area en route to Fort Frontenac (Kingston) to meet the Indian hunters and trappers. The French built a supply depot at La Galette (Johnstown) in the 1670s and a shipyard and star-shaped fort at Pointe au Baril (Maitland) in 1758, with the ships, the Outouaise and the Iroquoise, being built there. France and Britain were competing for control of the St. Lawrence River area and this broke out into a full-scale war in the 1750s. As the French troops were withdrawing to Quebec, they levelled the fortifications at Pointe au Baril so it would be of no use to the advancing British troops. Before long, the French decided to build new fortifications that would prevent attacks from the west, and they built a fort in 1759 on Isle Royale (Chimney Island) called Fort de Levis (Johnstown area). It was here that the last battle in North America between English and French troops took place in August 1760. In 1763 under the Treaty of Paris, French control was given to Britain, and New France was renamed Quebec. It was incorporated as the Province of Quebec by the Quebec Act of 1774.
Immigrants Arrived in Grenville County
This area, part of the Province of Quebec, was sparsely occupied when the Loyalists came here. In 1783 surveyors laid out the townships of Edwardsburgh, Royal Township Number Six, and Augusta, Royal Township Number Seven, along the river for the men and women who maintained their loyalty to the British Crown. The first settlers, men who had served under Major Edward Jessup, arrived here in 1784 and were given lots in Augusta and Edwardsburgh Townships. They drew their lots and built temporary shelters, until they were able to establish more permanent homes. Crops were planted, mills were soon developed, and the first town site was established in 1789 at Johnstown. It was made a district town for the Eastern District, and a court house and gaol were built here in 1795. Oxford-on-Rideau was surveyed for settlement in 1791, Wolford, in 1795, and South Gower in 1799.
Over the years other groups have come to this beautiful section
of Ontario including many English, Irish, and Scottish families in the 1800s,
and many Dutch in the 1950s. Today we are a mix of many nationalities.
Boundary/Name Changes
This area was part of the Province of Quebec, and by 1788 Lord Dorchester, the Governor of Quebec, proclaimed that what is now the province of Ontario would be divided into four districts, Lunenburgh, Mecklenbrgh, Nassau, and Hesse. Our area was part of the District of Lunenburg, named for the former principality of Brunswick-Lunenburg, part of the kingdom of Hanover. By the Constitutional Act of 1791, the province of Quebec was divided into the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, and Lunenburg was a district within Upper Canada. Gov. John Graves Simcoe, Upper Canada's first Lieutenant-Governor, renamed the districts in 1792 and formed them into nineteen counties. The name of our district became the Eastern District and we were in Grenville County. The county was named for William Wyndham Grenville, Secretary of State in 1790. The Eastern District encompassed the present counties of Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry, Prescott, Russell, Leeds, Grenville, and Carleton.
By 1798 the district's name had changed once more, this time to the Johnstown District, which at that time included the counties of Leeds, Grenville, and Carleton (Lanark was part of Carleton as well). In 1841 through the Act of Union, Upper Canada and Lower Canada became Canada West and Canada East respectively. By 1849 the Johnstown District was made up of only Leeds and Grenville. The Townships of Oxford, Wolford, Marlborough, and Montague were originally considered as one township for municipal purposes and had one Council. They were recorded together in the early census records, and appear in the Grenville County land records up to the early 1840s. Marlborough appeared in Carleton County in 1842 and was incorporated as a township in Carleton in 1850; Montague transferred from the Johnstown District to the Bathurst District in 1842 and became part of Lanark County. It can be confusing when one tries to search for records as the boundaries and names changed so often.
When districts were abolished in 1850, the Johnstown District became the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville and still exist as such today. From 1850 until the 1990s Grenville County was composed of five townships: Wolford, Oxford-on-Rideau, and South Gower in the north, Augusta and Edwardsburg in the south. Recently, with restructuring, these boundaries have been changed with the townships of South Gower, Oxford-on-Rideau, and the town of Kemptville amalgamating to form the township of North Grenville; the township of Wolford and the village of Merrickville joining to form the village of Merrickville-Wolford, and the township of Edwardsburgh and the village of Cardinal joining to form Edwardburgh/Cardnal. In 1867 at Confederation the Dominion of Canada, containing the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, was created.
Communities located in Grenville County are:

Merrickville-Wolford (formerly the Township of Wolford and the village of Merrickville;
Edwardsburgh/Cardinal (formerly the Township of Edwardsburgh and the village of Cardinal);
Augusta (no change);
Prescott (no change).

CARYVILLE - With the summer days heating up, Caryville Flea Market Supervisor Paron Beeco explained to the Caryville Town Council that extreme heat has been a deterrent for both vendors and visitors alike.
Beeco gave his report when the council met in regular session Tuesday.
"Most vendors leave between 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. due to the heat and health issues, and (the number of) customers have dropped off, too," said Beeco. "I'm hoping to get two large fans out there to get the air circulating. I just want to see the flea market grow for our city."
Alex Thompson, minister for the local men's ministry and rehabilitation, came before the council to inform them that they have started a farmer's market and to request the water be turned on at the facility. Several months ago, Thompson approached the council about his recent purchase of the old prison work camp in Caryville with the intentions of turning the facility into a men's ministry and rehabilitation center. He said there are strict guidelines for those who attend the center, and sex offenders of any kind are prohibited.
After much discussion, the Council agreed to charge Thompson a $100 connection fee and a flat rate fee of $200 a month for 12 months, with the rates increasing after that period of time.
Chair Henry Chambers also informed the council he may have found financing to replace the roof of the Caryville Civic Center.
"It is important that we replace that roof," said Chambers. "It is an asset to our community, and it is an income for our town."

VPN Training
Has anyone been to this training program in Marina Del Rey?
If so, is it worth it?
Re: VPN Training
My guess would be no it's not worth it but that is just my opinion. If you cook pizza in your back yard you not need certification. If you own a restaurant the certification won't do you any good if you don't have a great pizza. If your looking for a place to learn how to make pizza in a WFO I think you could find cheaper classes elsewhere. So I guess it all depends what you need or want from this.
Re: VPN Training
$2000 :eek: to learn to make pizza?
Ill teach you for free, your airfare here and back would probably be cheaper than $2000.
Just think what all our free advise and tutorials on this forum must be worth.....:D
Re: VPN Training
Give me two grand and I will make a little sign you can hang in the window. Hey, it will be a VERY nice sign....
Re: VPN Training
It IS is Marina Del Rey after all........

"Zodiac" may frustrate viewers who come to David Fincher's latest film expecting a traditional serial killer thriller. nstead what he's given us is a well argued thesis on the possible identity of the Zodiac. While there are some very intense scenes, Fincher takes a somewhat unexpected approach on the subject. The film is beautifully shot (on VIPER digital cameras) and once again, Fincher shows us his wonderfully adept skills with CGI shots. All of the actors shine and truly become their characters. The actors are great (especially Downey and his welcome comic relief), the atmosphere is foreboding, and the investigative process is engaging. That is why ZODIAC is fantastic and a great welcome back gift from Fincher to not only his fans, but to everyone. ZODIAC is definitely the best film of 2007 so far. Watch free full Zodiac film online.

California Assembly votes to urge Washington Redskins to ditch 'degrading' name
- State Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, center, discusses legislation with GOP state Senators Andy Vidak, of Hanford, left, and Steve Knight, of Palmdale, Monday, Aug. 18, 2014, in Sacramento, Calif. (Photo: Associated Press)
A resolution urging a name change was among dozens of items considered Monday as the legislative session entered its final two-week stretch.
ACR168 by Assemblyman Luis Alejo, D-Watsonville, says the Redskins name is disparaging to Native Americans and urges the National Football League to support a name and mascot change.
"We live in a society where a history of racial prejudice requires us to especially be sensitive to the use of words and phrases derived from generations of hate, bigotry and violence," he said.
The resolution passed 49-5 and heads to the Senate over the objections of Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, R-Twin Peaks, who says the state Legislature doesn't need to weigh in on such issues.
"They don't need the help of us here in California," the former Republican gubernatorial candidate said. "We have serious major crises that are going on in the world."
Alejo often objects to Donnelly, who once patrolled the border as a volunteer Minuteman, bringing up immigration during unrelated bill debates. Alejo told him Monday that he is "is in no position to talk about wasting the Legislature's time."
Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has stood by his team's name, even after the U.S. Patent Trademark Trial and Appeal Board cancelled its trademark in June.

PM for Residents: Evaluating a Practice
Course Description
THIS IS AN ONLINE ACTIVITY. Hard copies are not available.
Free to ASA Resident Members!
Non-Member Price: $14
The purpose of this 1-hour training course is to:
- Provide the newly graduating anesthesiologist with basic knowledge and skills to make an informed choice regarding the type of anesthesiology practice that best fits their professional and personal goals and preferences.
For a newly graduating anesthesiologist, the evaluation process of selecting a practice is personalized and multifaceted. The process is focused not only on professional goals and a mutual interest between the resident and a given practice, but also on numerous personal factors and considerations.
There are many types of practices available to graduating anesthesiologists. The major categories of practices are:
- Academic practice
- Private practice
NOTE: A blended type of practice (hospital with residents not affiliated with an academic institution) is an option, but rare.
In addition to a preference for a particular category of practice, many other professional and personal considerations factor into a graduate's selection, including whether they will:
- Enter into a full, part-time, solo or group practice
- Start their own group or join an established group
- Select a sub-specialty or general anesthesiology practice
- Join an all M.D. or anesthesia care team (ACT) practice
Learning Objectives:
There are 3 main objectives that provide the instructional framework for modules in this course:
1. Identify and assess various types/structures of practice in anesthesiology.
2. Determine how a member of a practice is compensated.
3. Recognize various local, state and national regulations affecting anesthesiologists.

All right, so conventions are these really big events that have bronies from large areas attending, sometimes worldwide. These are orchestrated, require a large amount of money, and generally aim to please all audiences that may be in attendance.
Meetups are none of these things. They are very local, often don't cost more than a couple hundred dollars at the really big events, and are single occasions that only interested parties need attend. If conventions are the culmination of brony socialization, meetups are a step down.
What constitutes a meetup? Well, the easiest way to describe it would be a single event for a specific group of people to attend—say, Germanic speakers of the Chicago area. A meetup is a way for these people with a common similarity to meet each other and share interests, typically with some type of themed occasion.
In our case, it's a brony meetup, i.e. anyone who considers themselves part of the brony fandom. This doesn't mean you go wild over the show; you can be conservative in your feelings and opinions, but respecting the show for what it is, if nothing else, is sufficient. This goes without saying for most things in life, but for some reason, most of the world tends to lose their heads the moment they hear we watch My Little Pony… so, realistically, there are only so many places we can go.
I doubt any business would deny a large group of people their money just because they like one specific show. That doesn't mean it can't happen. If an owner decided to take a stand on anything in particular that is of merit for a meetup, this would probably be it. Luckily for us, the majority of businesses don't bother worrying over the reason for such an event and simply enjoy the extra customers.
So, what can bronies do at a meetup? Well, I just went to a meetup yesterday evening… my first meetup. I sat next to a man named Omar, who, like me, has a wide variety of interests, and Lunar Armor (who goes by his real name of Ethan at meetups), and talked about several science fiction TV shows, cartoons that speak more to the audience than others, and the best worst movies we know of (The Room, Birdemic: Shock and Terror, and Sharknado, for those curious). There was a turnout of 41 bronies overall (by counting the empty seats), which I'm told is the best turnout of any meetup held by the host, Toksyuryel.
The meetup took place at a restaurant called Mikado Teppenyaki, where the chefs come out and play with your food while they cook it for you on a grill built in to your table. Does this shout "brony" to you at all? I think not. It was just 41 people who happened to share a common interest in a TV show and wanted to get together and meet one another.
Conventions are decidedly more pony-themed, coming from someone who's attending one brony convention and one brony meetup. Simply put, the convention staff don't have the luxury of hosting whatever they feel like and only having interested parties attend; they cater to the masses, so making the common interest the crux of the event is a necessity.
Meetups, on the other hand, are entirely dependent on the event. A restaurant meetup typically won't have a high amount of socialization with random people—probably only your dining partners, and you can only talk about one topic so much with one person before it gets stale.
A party meetup thrives on bronies talking to each other, but in a more open-ended conversation format. You don't get to know any one person extensively, but rather get to know several people to the point of name and brief description. This is just the environment, and there's nothing bad about it—but it's obviously a different atmosphere than a restaurant meetup, so you will attract different crowds to each.
Another common type of meetup is to watch episodes from the show—more recently, Equestria Girls was a meetup for those who hadn't seen it yet. These meetups can also involve discussion of certain aspects of the show and provide an in-depth look at things that may have been missed.
Having a variety of options to choose from is probaby the wisest course of action. Imagine if all the meetups were just watching show episodes and discussing them. Sure, a single meetup doing that would be great… but four meetups a month doing the exact same thing? It's dividing your crowd and making them choose. Maybe the really dedicated members will RSVP to all of them, but probably not for long. Doing the same thing over and over again just gets stale after a while.
So, meetups need to be creative as well. Dinner at Mikado's was wildly successful because there's no other regular sit-down dinner meetups in the Seattle area that I know of. If there has been in the past, it hasn't been so overdone that bronies are sick of picking up the check for one dinner after another.
And what do meetups have for bronies? Well… I've heard tell of bronies who still haven't met other bronies in person. Not knowingly, at least.
Perhaps it's a small matter, but meeting another brony and being able to talk to them freely about your likes and dislikes is a difficult sensation to describe. I was raised on ponies in a social brony environment, so I'm no stranger to such a thing, but after leaving the place I was staying at, things took on a decidedly duller tone. Meeting and talking to other bronies face-to-face is a great way to socialize and meet locals, not to mention provide entertainment for whatever crowd the type of meetup attracts.
All in all, meetups are a great way for bronies to share and talk and interact concerning topics that may not necessarily be a choice in their living environments. In my situation, the people that I live with currently are very anti-brony; what I do on my computer in my free time is my decision to make, but any and all attempts to talk to others about the show or anything related to the show is met with hostility and anger. Dinner at Mikado's was a great chance to escape my environment and just let my hair down around someone else for a little while.
To those who haven't attended a meetup before, I would highly recommend it. To those living near a big city, chances are there's a brony Meetup group for your area; just put "bronies" followed by the big city nearby and it will probably show up. Find a meetup that interests you and RSVP, then make sure to do what you can to attend.
For how accepting the world is becoming of certain topics and lifestyle choices, some are still shunned by society; finding a place to share these interests is a healthy and beneficial choice for mental well-being, and definitely adds to the happiness factor. So, get out there and meet others who happen to like ponies!

Chancellor Brice W. Harris says supporting student veterans is a "national imperative"
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The third California Community Colleges Veterans Summit took place this Thursday and Friday, December 5th and 6th, in Newport Beach, California. This annual event provides professionals from Community Colleges and four-year universities the necessary tools to help their staff and administrators to better support student veterans on their campuses with completing their educational goals and transitioning to higher education or careers. The summit ran from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Thursday and 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Friday and offered sessions on various student veteran issues, including apprenticeship opportunities, mental wellness, and the development of on-campus Veteran Resource Centers.
Of California's 2.2 million veterans, 75 percent are enrolled as students in one of the state's 112 Community Colleges. Community Colleges Chancellor Brice W. Harris said the nation's largest system of higher education proudly accepts the responsibility of supporting student veterans through the transition into civilian life through education.
"Our Community College system is constantly seeking ways to improve the educational experience of our veterans," said Chancellor Harris. "We will continue to serve those who have served us by providing the highest quality education for our veterans at an affordable cost."
Keynote speakers for the event included Dr. Jannett Jackson, Chancellor of the Chabot-Las Positas Community College District, who has more than 30 years of experience in the Community College system and in the U.S Armed Services, and Assemblymember Rocky Chavez, former Marine Corps member.
The summit was a collaborative effort between the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office, the Faculty Association of California Community Colleges, and the Foundation for California Community Colleges, and was supported by generous donations from JP Morgan Chase, the Land of the Free Foundation, and Operation Entrepreneurship.

There are a lot of unknowns in social media, because it is frequently changing and we are still in the learning phase.
