Elementary & Secondary Education Act Programs
ESEA Federal Programs
The federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) emphasizes equal access to education, sets high standards for academic performance, and demands a rigorous level of accountability from schools and districts. ESEA authorizes an important group of education programs administered by the states. These programs provide supplemental support to eligible schools and districts to raise the academic achievement of struggling learners and address the complex challenges that arise among students who live with disability, mobility problems, learning difficulties, poverty, transience and the need to learn a second language.

The poll, which coincides with International Tea Day, comes as the Women's Institute and Traidcraft send 20,000 postcards to the five brands that dominate the market - PG Tips, Tetleys, Twinings, Typhoo and Yorkshire Tea - calling for them to go Fairtrade.
Camilla Porter, Traidcraft head of campaigns, said: 'The big tea brands are lagging behind popular consumer brands like Starbucks, Tate & Lyle, Cadbury's Dairy Milk and Nestlé's KitKat, which have all made a commitment to Fairtrade.
'Right now there are 80 registered Fairtrade tea producers with spare Fairtrade tea to sell. PG Tips, Tetleys, Twinings, Typhoo and Yorkshire Tea have 72% of the market. Their commitment to Fairtrade would make a lasting difference to the lives of millions of tea workers,' she added.

Wasteful, inconsiderate celebration
Many animal owners spend money, and time, securing their pets during the anticipated July Fourth fireworks' explosions. Most are thankful that this celebration only disrupts their lives once a year. Few, if any, prepared their animals for Aug. 20.
Many animal owners felt inadequately informed about the Rancho Simi Recreation and Park District's fireworks display that evening. I am confident in saying that many animals panicked and were probably injured, hurt or ran away due to this wasteful idea.
Even though not one board member had the good sense to consider the animal owners of the city, the district should have considered the expense of such a irrational celebration. Can it tell the citizens of Simi Valley that wasting/exploding thousands of dollars of tax money was the intelligent thing to do during these times of financial disaster?
Even if someone had come forward and donated the funds, does anyone believe that our parks are so well equipped and pristine that they have no need for further financial support?
The board members should be ashamed of their extravagant spending and lack of concern for the animal-owning residents of the city. They also should be held liable for any animals that were injured or lost during their childish carnival.
We should send a clear message to them that when they spend our tax money so irresponsibly and act as bad neighbors, there are consequences. Let's all keep this in mind at the polls next time around.

USI graduate Krisiloff embraces the Indianapolis 500's lure
Son of an IndyCar racer now director of marketing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Jarrod Krisiloff was born too late.
His father, IndyCar driver Steve Krisiloff, had all but retired from racing when Jarrod came along. As a result, much of the time that Jarrod spent with his dad were trips to the office — located at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
"That's how I remember him when I was growing up," said Jarrod.
But there also were the stories Steve Krisiloff would tell his son. Like the time he was sitting in the qualifying line for the Indianapolis 500, waiting to go out next when driver Gordon Smiley died in an accident. Or the time he and A.J. Foyt got into a fight along pit row …
But this is really a story about Jarrod Krisiloff. A 2005 University of Southern Indiana graduate, he's a member of the legendary Hulman-George family that resurrected the Speedway and turned the Indianapolis 500 into a worldwide event, and his great-grandmother's maiden name was Fendrich from right here in Evansville.
"Yes," said Jarrod, "I'm part of all that. You can actually go into the Carriage House (at the Reitz Home in downtown Evansville) and see our family tree."
Jarrod is 30 now. But his family ties have certainly helped him in his career. He's currently the IMS' director of marketing, a position he's held since last November. Before that he had jobs with IndyCar racing, with new media at IMS and with IMS Productions.
He's spent race day in a television production truck, once slept through most of the race after arriving at the track before the sun rose and, when he was a producer on the broadcast of the Indy 500 won by Buddy Rice, remembered running down pit lane in the pouring rain trying to get an interview with the winner.
And, of course, he's raced. But not cars at first.
"I grew up racing BMX bicycles," he said. "Instead of going to car races every weekend, we went BMX racing."
That ended when he broke his neck in a BMX accident when he was 9 years old. He recovered completely, but only after being completely paralyzed "for a week or two," he said.
Still, by the time he was 14, he was racing again. This time it was quarter-midgets. By then his parents were divorced, and his dad was taking him racing on the sly.
"My mom didn't know I was racing (quarter-midgets), and she kind of went off" and made him quit, said Jarrod. "I really didn't have a choice. Not that I would have continued. The inherent risk was even riskier for me because of my neck injury."
He went on to earn a bachelor's degree in advertising and public relations at USI. But the lure of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway never left him.
"I grew up here," he said. "I went to day care here. I've grown up with some of the drivers.
"It's really neat because I always tell everybody that the greatest thing about the 500 and the month of May is that's when everybody starts to shake off winter, that summer's coming and school will be out. The 500 is kind of a big celebration for all of that."
But the racing isn't what it was like when his father was involved. At least, that's what Steve has told him.
"Race car drivers were — how do I say this? — they were stubborn, thickheaded, strong personalities," said Jarrod. "The way he would talk about it is they would laugh about the fact they were still alive."
Jarrod said his father didn't really want to race Indy cars; he was content to race midgets and sprint cars. But the big money was in Indy car racing. So was terrifying danger.
"The cars were evil to drive," said Jarrod. "They had so much power. Dad said, 'The cars I drove wanted to kill me in every single corner.' "
An example of what that era was like occurred during qualifications in 1982. Steve was next in line to qualify when Gordon Smiley lost control of his car during his second warm-up lap and was killed when he hit the Turn 3 wall.
"He sat in the car for an hour," Jarrod said of his dad. "They cleaned up the mess and then he went out. They didn't think two seconds about what was coming."
Another time Steve was in second place at a race at the old Ontario Motor Speedway near Los Angeles. He was ahead of A.J. Foyt, with no chance for Foyt to pass because a caution flag had just been thrown and the pace car had come out on the track.
"So A.J. pulled up next to the pace car, then ducked down pit lane and got a splash (of fuel)," said Jarrod. "Then he beat the pace car back onto the track and eventually won the race."
Today, that's against IndyCar rules. It certainly got Steve Krisiloff riled up after that race. "My dad didn't talk about a brawl," said Jarrod, "but apparently there was a big fight in the pits."
Then there was an incident that occurred at the start of Steve's IndyCar career. He and his father (Jarrod's grandfather) had bought an open-air trailer to cart his car to the various tracks. One night they stopped at a motel, and when they went to leave the next morning they discovered his race car was gone — it had been stolen.
Jarrod Krisiloff probably will never be part of that. But he's close enough to the Greatest Spectacle in Racing to love it just as much as anybody who has ever driven in it.
"I love working in this environment," he said. "Working here is great. The only downside of it is I don't really get to watch the race."

It's Friday night and in order to keep your minds sharp while you drink your favorite beverage, I have five questions for you to answer below.
1. In your opinion, what's the biggest story through the first two weeks of OTA practices?
2. In addition to Le'Veon Bell, LeGarrette Blount, Will Johnson and Dri Archer all making the 53 man roster, would you consider keeping another running back? If so, who? Is he on the roster, currently?
3. Rank Darrius Heyward-Bey, Derek Moye and Justin Brown as it relates to how much and how well each can contribute in 2014 and only 2014.
4. Over the course of the last four seasons, Lance Moore has averaged 55 catches. Will he be over or under that number in 2014?
5. How many of the nine draft picks will make the final 53 man roster and which ones fail to do so?
1. Why is Tuitt being worked in so slow?
2. No.
3. DHB, Justin Brown, Derek Moye.
4. Yes.
5. Yes. Going against history, all 9 make it.
1. Ryan Shazier directly into the first team line-up
2. I don't think we will, but If we sign another RB, it might as well be LSH (depends on his health)
3. DHB > Moye >> Brown; I don't buy into the Brown reports
4. over
5. Seven; McCullers & Zumwalt ==> PS
Number 4 wasn't a yes or no question
1. No big story
2. yes, they resign LSH(health permitting)
3. DHB,brown,moye
4. under 55
5. 8. McCullers doesn't make it.
Thanks, fixed.
1. IMO Ryan Shazier right in with the one's as a rookie and was a little surprised to hear that Cam Thomas was at left DE and Heyward on the right DE.
2. I like the RB core with Bell, Blount, Archer, Johnson as the 53-man roster RB's
3. Probably would say DHB, Moye, then Brown.
4. Moore over 55 catches.
5.7 make the 53 man roster, McCullers and Johnson on practice squad.
1. Nothing
2. Just the 4
3. Brown – DHB and Moye cut
4. Under
5. 7
You should watch him catch. He almost beat Moye out last year with Moye having a year being on the practice squad He runs better routes and he is a tall receiver as well as having special teams experience.
I bet Moye doesn't make it this year,
1. The amount of speed, especially on defense! Can't wait to see it in real action.
2. Not on the actual roster, only on practice squad.
3. DHB, Brown, Moye – I kind of believe the hype right now, but if the rumors are true about him doing well, and playing all positions, I can see him passing DHB.
4. Under
5. 8 – I really like this draft class, and truly believe that the majority of them can/will make the roster.
1: JBrowns reports. I expected him to get washed out by all the new guys.
2: those 4 are perfect!
3: DHB, Brown, Moye. In rooting for Brown though.
4: under. Wheaton will take a lot of those.
5: 8. Zumwalt to the PS. Zums my guy, but I think he missed valuable time at OTAs and it sounds like SoOto and Moats can handle OLB depth this year. I also think Mcullers makes the team in Fangupos spot!
1. Since people have already said Shazier with 1st team, I'll go Worlids injury. Is he just being overly cautious in voluntary workouts or is this a pattern?
2. Nope. Even if Archer struggles in training camp he won't be dropped as a 3rd round pick and will be our third down back.
3. DHB, Moye, Brown. I love the idea of DHBs talent, even after his many failures.
4. Under. Wheaton exceeds expectations, stealing catches from Moore.
5. McCullers out. 50/50 on Zumwalt. So, 7.
1. Ben taking a bigger leadership role
2.No. FA pool if any injuries
3.DHB, JB, Moye… DHB being the only contributor… big playability and freeing up space for other receivers
4.Under… way under im thinking max of 35 but i bet almost half are for a first down
5.Shazier, Tuitt and Archer are the only locks and Mcullers is the only player i dont see having a real shot at making the team
1. Moving Timmons to buck (Which lets Shazier start)
2. I would not but the Steelers always have 5 so I expect them to. Best guess IMO is a waiver wire guy. Lack of competition at rb and fb is maybe a top 3 failing of the offseason. From the current roster it's Maysonnet v. Alvester neither likely worthy of the 53.
3. DHB>Brown>Moye I think DHB will see 20 snaps at 4 WR sets and maybe a game or two as injury fill in. Even if he's not getting the ball he can take the top off the coverage. Brown will likely make it on ST but you won't hear his name. Moye maybe out the outside of the bubble at this point. Moye is a slower, lankier less experienced DHB.
4. Under. I don't expect him to outdo Cotchery. 35-40 more likely.
5. 7 Zumwalt and McCullers. Zumwalt has to beat Spence, Garvin, So'oto and I think he's behind all those guys. If he can play outside then he has a shot but no way inside. McCullers likewise I don't see at NT due to his height. We have too much depth at DE in Mauro, Tuitt, Arnfelt for him to make the roster there.
1 New starters Shazier and Wheaton Looking Good!
2 No, use that roster spot for a WR(5)
3 Moye Brown Bey
4 Over
5 8 Zumwalt could play spec. teams, Blanchflower out but on PS
1. So'oto taking reps from Carter who needs to go!
2. No. But if they do it could be someone already on the roster like a Tauren Poole.
3. J. Brown-DHB-Moye. Brown wins out because we need a backup punt return guy behind Archer and to keep our #1 WR A. Brown from doing that task!
4. Under. Unless the injury big hits.
5. Seven. Zumwalt and Mount McCullers to the PS though I wish they could make the teams because the positions they play are important.
1. Why Vince isn't taking the starting reps at ILB and what's going on with Blanchflower?
2. Alexander has an outside chance.
3. DHB, Brown, Moye
4. Under. (especially with Heath healthy this year)
5. 8. Depending on how Paulson does in training camp, Blanchflower could be the odd man out or it could be Wesley Johnson.
1. Nothing yet till they sign Santonio.
2. Yes, but not on the roster yet.
3. Moye, DHB, Brown
4. Under, too many other options.
5. 5 make the roster, Richardson, Zumwalt, McCullers, and Blanchflower will not.
1. Coach Peezy's having an impact with our young LB's
2. Yes I would consider another running back but only on the practice squad.
3. DHB Justin Brown D. Moye
4. Under…with a healthy Heath Miller don't see Moore getting 55 catches
5. I'll go out on a lime and say 8/9 with Zumwalt being the odd man out.
2. seems like most fans are overlooking Will Johnson.. Imo, if you want a true power running game. You better have a solid FB and I believe he is just that. The man can catch, block, and run the rock.. Not really sure why he hasn't been utilized more thus far. An oversight if you asked me..
1. In the absence of Troy, Will Allen taking 1st team reps instead of Shamarko (I don't see Shamarko as Troy's replacement).
2. Yes (they have had 5 RBs usually). not on the roster and taken after Sep cuts.
3. I have no idea between DHB and Brown, but Moye is the last.
4. More like 40 catches if Wheaton is what we hope he is.
5. All 9.
I didn't know WAllen was starting over Shark? That makes me worry!
Yep Matt, that makes us two! I've said repeatedly here that I don't see Shark as Troy's replacement, and it seems that he will become the next will allen (a quality backup). Although I hope I ahve to eat my own words! Will allen (himself a 4th round pick) actually filled in well the last years.
1. No-huddle coming along nicely, Shazier in starting lineup first day out. Health.
2. I think we should have one more for depth purposes, don't want WJ as RB.
3. DHB>Brown>Moye…DHB cause of experience, but I want Brown.
4.hmm under.
5. Johnson and Zumwalt…if Bryant doesn't stay motivated he could be PSed.
1- Shazier
2- yes, LSH
3- DHB, Moye, J. Brown
4- over
5- Five
I would be very surprised if the Team doesn't view him as the long term replacement for Troy. They traded a 3rd rounder for him.
I will be curious as to how it plays out … I too think there is a decent chance that Shamarko is not Troy's replacement … but either ways he will be a valuable DB in our secondary that can play the slot or back up the Safety position … He has plenty of speed and can Hit … so i think it is a win either way … but i think after this season we might have a better idea if we look to the draft for another high Safety pick … either way I hope Will Allen is not taking too many snaps away from Shamarko … he needs all that he can get for his development, especially since I see this being the last year for Will !
yep, it's a nice story to follow through camp. I agree that either being a slot DB / backup safety it's a good pick.
1.Team Speed
2.Not really.
3.DHB, Brown, Moye
5. 6 make it. McCullers, Blanchflower, and Johnson get cut.
Thomas is 310lbs and Heyward 290lbs – imo it makes sense having the lighter (pass rushing) DE on the blind side, the stuffer on the strong side!
And also when shifting to a 3-4 under (might as well be a 4-3 over), it makes sense having the heavier DE inside (more or less 3-tech) and the more athletic on the outside (5 or 6 tech). Sam could than get his hand in the dirt or not..
I was very suprised that So'oto seems to impress.. did not have him o my radar!
As far as I read, Roy Philon impressed the scouts more. Technique-wise for the Steelers 5-tech duties..
1. As always, big news or small news, the injury report.
2. No. Need that spot elsewhere. Pick a guy off the street if necessary.
3. In that order, which presumably is the current depth chart.
4. Under. He's past his prime.
5. Seven. The 2 6th rounders.
1. John Mitchell's comparing Stephon Tuitt to a young Aaron Smith and saying
"This guy in shape in the right frame of mind is a heck of a football player."
That's not trown out a lot by this great coach.
2. Not currently. OTA's won't reveal a whole lot about RBs and even in training camp I just can't see them carrying another back. If this is the case there's an additional spot on teams for a LB or possibly a TE.
3. Derek Moye, Justin Brown, DHB. I'm excited to see about Justin Brown in camp. DHB drops way to many passes and catching the ball is still the most important skill-set, so I don't think he makes it and that's fine.
4. Over, but slightly. Thinking 60-65.
5. 7 – McCullers and Zumwalt heading to practice squad. Zumwalt needs to get stronger and make the team as a backup OLB. I'm also not sure about Wesley Johnson – I think he makes it, thinking they'll carry eight and him beating out Whimper (Which would be awesome).
1. I'm still excited about Porter and Munchak…
2. No, not on the starting roster,…four is enough to dress.
3. Brown , Moye, DHB will disappoint.
4. under
4. I'll say Wesley Johnson because he's too big to play special teams…I like McCullers to make it for goal line packages..
1. No news is BIG news. No drama, no injuries.. I like.
2. No other RBs please. We are set.. Archer is going to surprise!
3. Justin Brown, and then a tie between DHB and Moye (as neither will make roster!)
4. Lance Moore will be over 55 catches and easily. Perhaps a down year for Antonio Brown.. either way he's going to be the new safety blanket for Big Ben.
5. Wesley Johnson, Blanchflower and McCullers all won't make the roster. They will be in practice squad though!
1- Jason Worlds injured, saw that coming! Other than him I like the reports on the line.
1. Who will be the starting WR opposite A. Brown – Wheaton or Moore?
2. No; I'd keep an extra WR or LB this year.
3. DHB can be an excellent gunner on ST. Moye and Brown will not contribute.
4. Over. Say hello to Ben's new security blanket.
5. All make the team except fifth rd. pick – OL Wesley Johnson
#1 Shazier is the biggest story in my book as he is playing with the starters
#2 I personally would like to see another HB and think Alexander has a 15% chance of making it.
#3 I would have it Brown, Bey and then Moye. Brown IMO is the best of the 3 at ST and I believe the last WR position will be a guy strong in that department. I feel Moye is a classic overachiever but he does not have much upside. Bey will be given a chance to compete and if Mann can get him on track Bey maybe a huge surprise but I think we have seen the best of Bey and he will find it hard to make a roster spot
#4 If we look in the recent past on what the #3 guy has done for us I feel it suggests that he will not…I see 30-40 catches.
#5 Because of our lack of quality depth I see most of these guys making the roster. I am really worried about Zumwalt making the team but outside of him I see most of the guys have a good shot at it.
Thats my story and I'm sticking to it!
1. Dri Archer blowing off OTAs to go hang out with Gronk and Johnny Football in Vegas. ( this statement just as ridiculous as the story which turned out to not be true)
2. No, I would prefer to keep a 6th WR or extra lineman on defense or offense.
3. JB, DHB, Moye
4. Under. He was with a QB that knew him well and had some chemistry there. We have quite a few, though unproven, potential weapons on offense. It'll be quite the challenge to get everybody touches. Aside from AB and Heath everyone else will have a modest reception amount this season.
5. 5 will make it with Johnson, Richardson, Zumwalt and Blanchflower to PS.
We might be jumping the gun with SoOto but it's nice to hear that one of those guys is being noticed!
1. The biggest story is the lack of story about Blanchflower. Or perhaps whether or not Harrison/Brett will be signed.
2. I hope not. I'd rather they kept an extra WR or DL or CB.
3. Tough between DHB and Brown. But since it is only for 2014 production and not to gain experience, I'll go with DHB. Hard to say, since I have seen either play ST.
4. That's 3.4 catches/game? And Jerrico had 46 last year? I'll take the under, and hope that it's because (a) the entire WR corps stay healthy, (b) Archer and Bryant develop quickly and get a slice of the pie, (c) we are able to ground and pound a bit more due to improved O-line and D.
5. Six.
1. No huddle offense and wide receiver speed.
2. No .. they have exactly what they need.
3. All I can say .. is wee will see 😉
4. I would have rather seen a question here about defense.
5. I'll call it 6 out of the 9 draft picks will be on the field come game day.
1. Team speed improvement. 2. For sure. 2 of those 4 aren't even true TB's. Need to see the pads on, but I'm guessing no, he is not on the current roster. He will be a 3rd down veteran all-purpose RB similar to mewelde moore. 3. Brown, Dm, DHB…I'll be stunned if DHB makes the squad, and since the likelihood that he has improved a lot at this stage is slim…it will mean someone else has been far less promising than I see them. 4. Under. He will have a smidgen less…like 48. 5. 8 of 9 will make it….but zumwalt will make the PS.
1. Shazier running with 1st Team right out of the gate.
2. Possibly, maybe LSH but could also see Alexander on the PS instead
3. DHB, J.Brown, Moye
4. Under, but not by much
5. 8, I think McCullers could be the odd man out, but that's pure speculation he could easily make it as a backup NT if C.Thomas is used at DE early on. We've carried as many as 10LBs in the past and with the supposed versatility of Zumwalt and knowledge of the scheme I think he might make it if he excels on special teams

Microsoft alumni: A class of their ownFebruary 11, 2002
(continued from previous page)
on bringing a Web platform closer than ever to the operating system, analysts said.
MSN could be what Windows could never be: a Net platform that allows developers to write and distribute their code quickly. Patches and upgrades that take weeks or longer to distribute with traditional software can be done overnight, simply because they're all under the same umbrella. By comparison, the successor to Windows XP, introduced in 2001, isn't due until next year.Redmond's grip loosening
In fact, MSN has already been used as a vehicle for shipping Windows features, said Rob Helm, director of research at the independent research firm Directions on Microsoft. The search service in Windows Vista, for example, shipped earlier as MSN Desktop Search. In addition, Internet Explorer features, like tabbed browsing, and protection against phishing techniques--in which online scammers entice unwitting Internet users to log on to fake Web sites that steal their information--shipped first through MSN, Helm added.
Search and destroy
Not all that long ago, Microsoft execs were saying Internet Explorer updates were inextricably tied to Windows updates. But the most recent version of the browser shipped ahead of Windows Vista so, some analysts believe, Microsoft could keep pace with the upstart Firefox browser.
"MSN has become, bit by bit, a channel to get stuff out from a Windows organization that otherwise was kind of blocked by their rather difficult delivery process" that can be slowed by traditional sales channels, he said.
Of course, Microsoft isn't in danger of falling apart anytime soon. The Windows monopoly, the Office desktop suite and the Exchange e-mail system give Microsoft plenty of money to fix the problem. And it's not as though tech giants disappear into the night: IBM, after several years of scuffling, reinvented itself as the tech services king.
But it's fair to say that the hammerlock Microsoft has had on tech for better than a decade may finally be loosening. Increasingly, Web surfers are finding alternatives to the PC for their Net access. And no competitor, not even Netscape, has captured the public's imagination the way Google has.
The memo now circulating shows that Microsoft execs are well aware of the search giant's impact. "Google threatens Microsoft's position on the Internet, and could potentially lock Microsoft out of its existing distribution channels and reduce the value of Windows," the memo said, according to The Wall Street Journal. The Journal first reported on the memo Thursday. Microsoft, the memo said, was playing "an expensive game of catch-up."
Now the battle is intensifying, and MSN is an ideal launch pad for Redmond's counter-offensive. Last week, rumors swirled that Microsoft would acquire AOL or enter into a partnership that could have AOL using MSN's search engine and effectively swiping Google's single biggest source of revenue. Neither company has confirmed the rumors.
"MSN will be higher profile, and it will also be better leveraged," said David Smith, an analyst at Gartner. "There is a lot of good technology and a lot of assets over there that can be leveraged."
Until now, MSN has struggled to find its niche within Microsoft. It started out in the Windows group when Windows 95 launched. Later, it was positioned as a competitor to AOL's proprietary service and bundled dial-up Internet access. It even once featured broadcast TV-type programming over the Web, not to be confused with the MSN TV set-top box division it has today.
"Few products at Microsoft have gone through so many strategic identity shifts over the years as MSN has," said Jupiter's Gartenberg.
MSN finally reached operating profitability two years ago because of an increase in online advertising, particularly keyword search sales. That brings it to where it is today: a well-traveled property whose time may have finally come.
While analysts praised Microsoft's new MSN vision, they said the devil will be in the details that Microsoft hasn't offered many of yet. Gartenberg predicted that MSN's instant-messaging service, for one, will become part of the Windows environment.
"There is no doubt that whatever Microsoft will be offering vis-?-vis MSN, and how MSN goes forward, it is going to be strongly integrated back into the whole Windows platform," he said.
Added Gartner's Smith, "I think you are seeing the beginning of Microsoft kind of getting themselves set for the redefinition of platform--the era we are calling the second Web revolution."
What remains to be seen is whether Microsoft is able to do battle with Google as successfully as it did with Netscape.

I take this with me on my rides to work, it fits my shoes waterbottle, wallet keys and work clothes, and lunch it. The sling is wide so it never cuts into my shoulder, as well it stays on my back quite well.

I thinking about how to do an input system.
I am going to use Win32API (anyone got better solution?) to capture the input events (mouse and keyboard, no plan for controllers or joysticks yet).
So from what I understood I should have some array of key states (and mouse state) and every frame I call my input system to check if something is pressed.
Correct me if I'm wrong up to this point.
This works nice for a demo where you don't have different game states. So this brings me to GameStateOperator. GSO (as I call it) is simply a wrapper upon stack DS that holds various GameState objects. The top most GameState in the stack is the current state of the game and the only one who can parse the input events.
Let there be two GameStates:
1. MainMenuState
2. InGameState
Both states can parse the ESC button press however they acts differently. MainMenuState is the default state that loaded when the game initialized. If current state is InGameState, pressing ESC will pop this state therefore the current state will be MainMenuState and pressing ESC here will quit the application.
This is nice and cool, but lets add entities. Entity (dont yell at me if I define it wrong) as I see it is something that can be present in the scene (be it visible and dynamic like car, visible and static like wall or invisible like trigger). Some entities would like to handle input as well (Player entity for example).
What I tough about is to do an Interface like IKeyboardListener and IMouseListener and everyone who wishes to receive keyboard or mouse events will implements them and registers itself within InputManager.
The same goes for GameState class. It will by default inherit from IKeyboardListener and IMouseListener.
For the input manager to know if the event was parsed withing specific listener, the listener must return either true or false.
Pseudo code:
[source lang=cpp]
foreach(kb in this->mKeyboardListeners){
if(kb->handle(this->kbState)) break;
So if the listener returned true, the InputManager knows that that current state was handled and no more listener needs to be called.
This is a brief of how I see it. Somethings were tough about for a long time, others just came into my head right now. It looks like a flexible system for me but I would you to comment on it and show me were I went wrong, if at all.

Synergy WoodsRead MoreSynergy Paintball aims to be a way of giving back to the community by offering a safe place to have fun and expend pent-up energy. On a given day, lively bands of birthday, bachelor, and bachelorette parties can be found swarming the grounds amid the whispery noise of paintballs cruising through the fresh air. It's here where teams engage in fun competition, regardless of age, size, or skill level. When the park isn't busy entertaining armies of thrill-seekers, they also play host to United States military reserves tactical training, an exercise that fills the park with humvees and transport vehicles before they begin mock Medevac evacuations. To further build on its reputation, Synergy Paintball hosts organizations such as the United Way, American Cancer Society, and St. Judes Children's Research while longtime supporting Local AR.11615 Avon Belden Rd,Grafton, OH US
The National Basketball AcademyRead MoreThe National Basketball Academy's instructors host clinics, training sessions, and tournaments for various age groups. Their coaching helps participants improve all aspects of their performance on the court, from shooting to defense, and their youth programs nurture sports skills in children as young as kindergarten. They also set up teams and leagues that allow players to compete in a supportive, friendly environment.37501 Center Ridge RoadNorth Ridgeville, OH US
All American Sports CenterRead MoreFrom a bird's-eye view, the emerald expanse of All American Sports Center is unmistakably devoted to the sports of golf and baseball. No less than 20 heated tees and 40 seasonal grass tees line the driving range, allowing players to keep shooting for the horizon even after the sun sets and the towering lampposts light up the field. For short games, the center also features a 10,000-square-foot putting green as well as a chipping green complete with hazards such as sand bunkers and kiddie pools full of jury summons. The 18-hole miniature golf course encourages visitors to unwind as they putt past decorative waterfalls and rivers. At the dugout, guests can switch gears to baseball or softball, taking up bats to turn away the wrath of variable-speed pitching machines.37500 Center Ridge Road,North RidgevilleNorth Ridgeville, OH US
Mulligan's Family Fun CenterRead MoreEmerald corridors spiral across a landscape of vibrant flowers, trees, and rocky outcrops to comprise Mulligans Family Fun Center's 18-hole miniature golf course. A gushing waterfall broadcasts tranquil vibes throughout the circuit, as pale-red bricks keep balls from straying off-path or absconding to audition for position in a juggling act. Mulligans' pavilion adds to the vacation atmosphere, allowing guests to arrange romantic post-golf picnics with snacks and refreshments available at the clubhouse. The center also includes a basketball court, where guests can practice free throws or javelin-tossing putters at the backboard.7760 Victory LnNorth Ridgeville, OH US
Aut-O-Rama Drive-InRead MoreAn old-fashioned pair of comedy and tragedy masks greet drivers pulling up to the marquee of Aut-O-Rama Drive-In. The vintage aesthetic is fitting for an establishment that's been in business since 1965 and is now in its third generation of being operated by the Sherman family. Although the cinematic lot prides itself on being the first in the area to offer AM-radio sound, today, Dolby FM stereo bathes cars in field-filling acoustics as audiences take in a library of contemporary flicks. From the start of April to the end of September, first-run and well-worn films alike await vehicular cinephiles, who can munch on burgers, subs, and pizza, along with desserts such as ice cream and funnel cake.33395 Lorain RoadNorth Ridgeville, OH US
Brunswick BowlingRead MoreBowling is the great social equalizer?a common ground where grizzled undercover clowns, blue-collar English lords, LARPer librarians, big and tall lingerie models, hordes of hive-minded hipsters, and the other two social demographics that compose America can unite in common cause and topple a gaggle of stuck-up, inanimate wooden pins. Brunswick has been a household name in this egalitarian pastime almost since the beginning, with a company history that dates back to the 19th century, providing classic American good times to all manner of patrons across the country. And with today's Groupon tying the room together, you'll get to play two games (up to a $6.98 value) in its hallowed halls while wearing a pair of freshly disinfected bowling shoes (a $3.25 value).38931 Center Ridge Rd.North Ridgeville, OH US

break-in frustration
Just finished a ground up resto on a 1966 Suzuki B100P (Bloop!); new piston , rings, bearings, and seals. 118cc of raw piston port power and a 4-speed tranny. The manual and the decal on the speedo (still there) say break-in for 1000 miles and not to exceed 36 mph in top (4th ) gear. That's 27.7 hours (!!!) of keeping it under 40 but I'm getting very impatient. It will do over 55mph and I'm thinking of running it in the Spring Giro at Jiminy Peak. Do I follow recommended procedure or . . .:ddog
I say let r rip!
Some would say run the shit out of her on the first hour......only one chance to seat those rings!

Preview 2007
- Defense
2007 USC Preview
2007 USC Offense Preview
2007 USC Depth
What you
need to know:
The Trojan offense is good. The Trojan defense is scary good.
Backed by a Who's Who of future first-day NFL Draft choices, USC
is ready to unleash the nastiest and stingiest unit of the Pete
Carroll era. Led by Sedrick Ellis at the nose, Keith Rivers at
middle linebacker, and Terrell Thomas at cornerback, the Trojans
boast seven players capable of making a run at All-America
honors in 2007. Yeah, a few more sacks and takeaways would be
nice, but this is as close to a flawless unit that there is in
the country. From front to back, they're aggressive,
experienced and fast enough to create a swarming effect on the
ball carrier. Although the Trojans will give up yards to teams
playing from behind, scoring meaningful points on them in the
first three quarters is going to be a year-long nightmare.
Tackles: Keith Rivers, 85
Sacks: Brian Cushing, Sedrick Ellis, 4.5
Interceptions: Taylor Mays, 3
Star of the
Senior DT Sedrick Ellis
Player that has to step up and become a star: Junior DE
Kyle Moore
Unsung star on the rise: Sophomore FS Taylor Mays
Best pro prospect: Ellis
Top three all-star candidates: 1) Ellis 2) Senior LB
Keith Rivers 3) CB Terrell Thomas
Strength of the defense: The back seven, rush defense,
Weakness of the defense: Sacks
Defensive Line
Projected Starters:
When tackle Sedrick Ellis and end Lawrence Jackson
opted to forego the NFL Draft and return for their senior
seasons, USC instantly maintained its status as one of the elite
defensive lines in the nation. Ellis is the premier interior
lineman in the Pac-10, an explosive and disruptive force that
plays with great leverage and has made Trojan fans forget Mike
Patterson. He had 34 tackles, eight tackles for loss and 4.5
sacks last year, which don't do justice to his importance to the
defense. While Jackson is coming off a woefully disappointing
season that took him nine games to register a sack, he has the
size and speed off the edge to make 2006 a distant memory. With
a fat signing bonus at stake, the 6-5, 265-pounder now has the
motivation to make a salary run with a rebound season in 2007.
Filling out the front four will be a couple of juniors, tackle
Fili Moala and end Kyle Moore. More of a space-eater
at 6-4 and 300 pounds, Moala doesn't get penetration like Ellis,
but is quickly becoming one of the better run defenders in the
Pac-10. He started ten games in 2006, making 20 tackles and
seven tackles for loss, setting the stage for a strong second
half to his Trojan career. At 6-6 and 260 pounds, Moore has the
physical gifts to dominate at this level, but has yet to even
approach his enormous potential. He saw limited action in the
3-4 last season, but should erupt this year, particularly with
Jackson garnering so much attention at the opposite end.
Projected Top Reserves: Sophomore Averell
Spicer will back up Ellis this season, but by 2008, could be
the next big thing in a Trojan nose tackle. A big-time recruit
from 2005, he's beefed up to 6-2 and 295 pounds, but hasn't lost
the quick feet and good moves that made him a highly-coveted
defensive end in high school.
Now that senior Chris Barrett has been declared academically
ineligible, sophomore Alex Parsons is being asked to back
up Moala at tackle. Undersized at 6-4 and 260 pounds, he's a
meat-and-potatoes battler that earned his first letter in 2006
on special teams and should get more reps on defense this year.
USC's most dependable and experienced second team end is Alex
Morrow, a fifth-year senior that's underachieved since
arriving as a can't-miss recruit, but still brings value to the
unit. At 6-6 and 270 pounds, he's the defense's biggest end,
and a viable option for the staff, especially on obvious running
Watch Out For… incoming freshman Everson
Griffen. While it's unlikely Griffen can beat out Moore for
a starting job, he clearly has the talent to win a spot on the
second team. At 6-4 and 265 pounds, the nation's best prep end
has the speed off the edge to be a smash hit early in his
Strength: Run defense. With three starters back,
expect a repeat of last season, when the Trojans finished No. 9
nationally against the run, and allowed just three rushing
touchdowns over the final ten games of 2006.
Weakness: Getting to the quarterback. For all the
talent housed in Troy, shouldn't USC bag a few more sacks,
especially from the ends? It's up to Jackson to rebound from
last year, and help open things up for Moore and the rest of the
Outlook: Arguably the nation's toughest defensive
line will set the tone for the entire defense, winning the
battle for the line of scrimmage and clamping down on every
opponent intent on establishing a ground game. Sedrick Ellis and
Lawrence Jackson are All-America caliber playmakers to work
around, while Fili Moala is an unsung rock on the inside who'll
swallow everything up.
Rating: 9.5
Projected Starters:
If USC doesn't have the nation's best linebacking corps, it has one of
the top three. Led by senior Keith Rivers on the weakside, all
three starters have All-America potential and NFL futures. Rivers is
arguably the country's top outside linebacker, a 6-3 and 230-pounder
that pursues well in all directions, including on blitzes, and is a
standout in pass defense. Last year's team leader in tackles with 85
would have been a high draft choice in 2008 had he foregone his final
year of eligibility.
On the inside is junior Rey Maualuga, a 6-3, 250-pound freight
train that intimidates with his intensity and bone-jarring hits.
Entering his second season as the starter, he plays with reckless
abandon and has impeccable instincts for the position. Few college
defenders provide the pop he does, finishing second on the team with 78
Replacing Dallas Sartz on the strongside will be junior Brian Cushing,
who started in 2006 as a stand-up defensive end in the old 3-4 defense.
The defensive MVP of January's Rose Bowl led the Trojans in 2006 with
13.5 tackles for loss, showing off a tenacity and strength at the point
of contact that make him a natural to return to his original spot on the
Projected Top Reserves: At weakside, Rivers' understudy
will again be junior Kaluka Maiava, a two-time letterman that had
34 tackles a year ago. While he doesn't look the part at 6-0 and 225
pounds, he displays a knack for being around the ball and is one of
USC's most accomplished special teams players.
In the middle is fifth-year senior Thomas Williams, a versatile
veteran of 36 games that can play strongside, and even filled in at
fullback in 2006. A punishing hitter at 6-3 and 240 pounds, he's also
one of the emotional and vocal leaders of the defense.
Former walk-on Clay Matthews has settled in nicely as Cushing's
backup at strongside, making 15 tackles and sharing Special Teams Player
of the Year honors with Maiava last year. Now a junior, he's got
surprising speed and the confidence of the coaching staff to be more
than just a spot player.
Watch Out For… this unit to spur a return to the days when
USC perennially ranked among the nation's best defenses in takeaways.
The Trojans created a mere 22 turnovers in 2006, well below their
standards, but with Rivers, Maualuga and Cushing lighting up opponents,
look for that total to skyrocket this fall.
Strength: Range. Whether they're blitzing or dropping
back into coverage, no one will be able to escape this highly
instinctive, aggressive and disruptive trio of linebackers.
Weakness: Overconfidence. It's an absolute reach, but the
only obstacle facing the Trojan linebackers will be staying focused on
the task at hand, and not allowing the riches of the NFL or the calls
from agents to become distractions.
Outlook: Over the years, a ton of great linebackers have
done their apprenticeship at USC, but this group has a chance to be the
best ever. Three NFL-ready players at their respective positions,
Keith Rivers, Rey Maualuga, and Brian Cushing, will
control game after game. The backup trio of Kaluka Maiava, Thomas
Williams and Clay Matthews could start at about 90 other places.
Rating: 10
Defensive Backs
Projected Starters:
The Trojans biggest problem in the secondary? Keeping six experienced
and qualified players happy with only four starting jobs available.
Every Pac-10 school should have such a problem. All four starters
return, including sophomore free safety Taylor Mays, a budding
superstar after just one season on campus. Forced into action in 2006,
he responded with 62 tackles and a team-high three picks, en route to
Freshman All-American honors. At 6-4 and 225 pounds, Mays hits like a
linebacker, yet is as fast as any Trojan, a rare blend that's making the
next-level scouts drool.
At strong safety is junior Kevin Ellison, who made 64
tackles, six tackles for loss and five pass breakups in his first season
as a starter. A quick study that's rarely out of position, he's a
220-pound thumper and a fine open-field tackler.
Manning the corners for a second straight year will be senior Terrell
Thomas and junior Cary Harris. Thomas is the Trojans' best
cover man, and an All-Pac-10 second teamer who led the defense with 12
broken up passes. Tall and very quick on his breaks, he showed no ill
effects last year from an ACL tear that prematurely ended his 2005
Harris is a wiry 6-1 and 180-pound defender that's coming along nicely,
making 48 tackles and breaking up three passes in his first year as a
starter in 2006. Clocked in the 4.3 range, he has tremendous speed, but
needs to make more big plays this year when opposing quarterbacks opt to
avoid Thomas and pick on him.
Projected Top Reserves: If Mays is No. 1 at free safety,
junior Josh Pinkard is No. 1A. A starter since the mid-point of
2005, and arguably USC's best defensive back heading into last year, he
tore knee ligaments in the opener, missing the entire season. Before
the injury, he was one of the fastest Trojans in a sturdy, 6-1 and
215-pound package. If Pinkard, who can also play cornerback, regains
the speed and flexibility he had before the injury, it'll give the
Trojans a scary amount of talent at safety.
Behind Ellison at strong safety is junior Mozique McCurtis, a
former junior college transfer who was used as a cornerback and nickel
back at times last season. At 6-1 and 225 pounds, he's a versatile big
hitter that can also contribute when the ball is in the air.
The primary depth at cornerback will come from junior Kevin Thomas
and sophomore Shareece Wright. Thomas has the size, speed and
experience to be a starter, but has been dogged by a variety of injuries
throughout his career. He had ankle surgery following the season,
missing the spring to recover.
Wright will spend the upcoming season preparing as if he'll be a starter
in 2008. He got his feet wet last season, showing good quickness and
leaping ability making 15 tackles, and should get even more playing time
during the upcoming season.
Watch Out For… Mays. A little over a year removed from
high school, he's on the tarmac and preparing for a serious career
lift-off. With an unheard-of combination of size and speed, he's the
next coming of current Washington Redskin Pro Bowler Sean Taylor.
Strength: The safeties. Assuming Pinkard can return
intact from last September's knee injury, the Trojans will boast three
next level safeties capable of starting and contending for First Team
All-Pac-10 honors.
Weakness: Durability. The depth in the secondary is
fantastic, but only if everyone stays healthy. Within just the past 12
months, Ellison, Harris, Thomas, Pinkard, and free safety Will Harris
have undergone some type of surgery to repair an injury.
Outlook: Last season's Pac-10-best pass defense will be
even stingier this season, adding more picks and fumble recoveries to an
already impressive stat sheet. This is an NFL caliber secondary with
several players certain to make a whole bunch of money at the next
Rating: 9.5
Special Teams
Projected Starters:
The tragic death of Mario Danelo in January has unexpectedly catapulted
junior David Buehler into the role of USC's primary placekicker
and kickoff man. A terrific all-around athlete, he has a huge leg, but
zero track record at consistently making kicks the way Danelo did for
two seasons. In his only attempt of 2006, Buehler nailed a 49-yarder
against Cal, the longest by a Trojan in eight years.
Former walk-on and junior college transfer Greg Woidneck is back
to handle the punting chores. He was awful in his first season with the
program, averaging a Pac-10-worst 38.2 yards a punt, and leaving plenty
of room for improvement this fall.
Exciting sophomore C.J. Gable is back to handle kickoff returns
after finishing second in the Pac-10 and 15th nationally with
an average of 27 yards a return. Also returning to field punts is
senior Desmond Reed, but a meager average of 5.4 yards in 2006
leaves his job open when the team reconvenes this summer.
Watch Out For… Buehler to flatten some unsuspecting kick
returner this fall. Not your typical kicker at 6-2 and 225 pounds, he
also worked out last season at fullback and safety, and will be itching
to pummel some 180-pounder with an eye on the end zone.
Strength: Gable. He showed flashes as a true freshman of
being a bona fide weapon with big play potential as the Trojans' primary
kickoff returner.
Weakness: The kickers. The gap between the ultra-steady
Danelo and Buehler will prove to be wide, and Woidneck showed very
little in 2006 to get excited about.
Outlook: The special teams unit, particularly the two
kickers, is the weakest link in USC's armor. Will it cost the Trojans a
game in 2007? By building big cushions, Pete Carroll hopes not to test
that question during the season.

Here is my artwork. Waiting for a second stage approval. What Do you think?
Just curious— one of my ideas parodies the movies, would that be frowned upon and likely rejected? (specifically, the parody is of Batman's 'growly' voice) If it'd be a waste of time to do that, then I'll focus more on serious ideas. I'm thinking I can guess the answer, but just thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.
Hi, just wondering, is the art design is only for the front of the shirt? How about the back?
Is it possible to update an entry once its been approved? The black Tshirt template on my Bane design is looking blue, I would also like to add the artwork to the back ground as its a little underwhelming as it stands. There would be no changes to the actual artwork?
@ Sorool – That is ok your design will not get rejected just because you did not add a color choice, if you win we will decide what color to print the design on.
Again, if you have not received a rejection email your design is on hold to go through second stages of approvals. We are uploading new designs daily to give everyone 24 hours on the first page. This is a fairer way of doing it rather than having 200 go up and some being on page 5. Please be patient, your design will go up.
What do I do if I forgot to put shirt color?
@ DYOKER – You have submitted the same design 5 times and I have given you a detailed reason for your rejection via email.
Again, if you have not received a rejection email your design is on hold to go through second stages of approvals. We are uploading new designs daily to give everyone 24 hours on the first page. This is a fairer way of doing it rather than having 200 go up and some being on page 5. Please be patient, your design will go up.
if it goes over 2-3 days then your work has been accepted and should be uploaded in the next couple of weeks
Don't know if they forgot rejection mail or just waiting to put my shirt up. Haven't seen anything in about 4 or 5 days
I just submitted mine, but I forgot to pick a shirt color, and I don't want to submit another in case they reject both because they're the same thing. What should I do? I don't want to end up with a pink shirt.
@DYOKER: If you ask me the problem is probably your choice of words. Send an email to DBH for an explanation, why it was rejected. I am not an expert but apperently there have been many designs that needed to remove any kind of inscriptions on the designs due to legal terms.
This is the 5th time i've changed my 2nd participation and WARNER DOESN'T ACCEPT IT!!! : SSSSSSSSS what the hell is wrong? : S. Can anybody tell me why? : O
@DYOKER: I got an email explaining that the initials do not represent batman brand.. sooo I gues it was TDKR that was inacceptable. However I do not see drawing something from promotional material to be the problem, there are quite many entries like that in the running already. Thanks tho.
5cents it was rejected because of the copyright, that pic exists if you copy it they are going to reject it…Even if you draw it. I think that's probably the problem.
You are right 7sixes, you can use the computer but so many people forget the CREATIVITY : P
Ugh…people need some common sense in the art world…just because computers let you copy and paste images doesnt mean you can do it AND CALL IT YOURS!
@flickcreations – The actual creator of your plagiarised t-shirt design is Erik Von Lehmann. I'm sure he'd be delighted to know you stole his art. It's one thing to work from promotional stills of the film or to create original art altogether for this contest, it's an entirely different matter when you claim someone else's work as your own. You need to learn a thing or two about ethics and plagiarism.
Here is my design that got rejected. Just want to see if you guys like it or not. It got rejected not going to re-submit another one, spent too much time on this.
@FlickCreations So you steal someone else s art don't give credit to the artist, and claim it as your own. that's illegal buddy
are you the one who made this one on deviant art?..... cuz its really good if you are!!!
