Erica Jones is a main character in My Babysitter's a Vampire. She's Sarah's best friend and became a vampire in the film. She is a former love interest of Gord, however he backed off because Jesse was interested in her. She is Jesse's ex-girlfriend. As a human, she was a nerd and socially awkward. However, following her transformation, she became amazingly beautiful and full of herself, bullying people who are like she used to be. She is a fan of Dusk and the band Single Tear, and is a senior. Benny and Rory both have crushes on her. Benny first liked her when she was a human, and Rory only showed brief interest in her, only to begin pursuing her following her transformation.
As a human, Erica was president of the Dusk Fan Club. She was a nerd and constantly bullied by head cheerleader Stephanie. Originally meant to be Jane's babysitter, she instead goes to a party with Gord in an attempt to prove to Sarah that she's not a good girl. There, Gord bites her and she later feeds on Rory after Sarah hesitates in doing so, becoming a fully-fledged vampire. After her transformation, Erica began to look down on inferior students, bullying people like she used to be. Erica has become much more popular with boys following her transformation and Benny and Rory are both interested in her. Later in the film, she battles Sarah, however at the end of the film, they make up.
Erica's personality in the film was geeky and nerdy, even kind. However, in the series she became more popular, and full of herself.
Under the influence of a love potion, she kissed Benny, and to get Rory to shut up, she said she would kiss him.
She almost kissed Rory, hinting a crush, however they were caught by the vampire nurse Anne when she opened the blood truck back doors.
Erica later drank Benny's blood and liked it; this leading Sarah to believe that Erica was developing a crush on Benny. Erica begins to help Sarah, Ethan, and Benny in their missions more in season two, than the first season. Her nerd past proves useful sometimes, as she's even brainier than the others, though she doesn't like being reminded of her past.

After doing my expected upcoming stint as an ancient astronaut theorist, the next thing I want to be after that is a 'Curator' on the internet. Of stuff. A 'curator' of stuff on the internet. (I think that's how you say it.)
Basically, for my job, I will 'curate' stuff. Full-time. Like, if there's links (to stuff), stuff that I like, I could use Ctrl-C to copy those links and then Ctrl-V to paste them all together. Millions of people would then see the links I've 'Curated' and that's how I get paid. Something like that.
I have a little investigation to do into how this 'Curation' works as a career path, what degrees are required, etc., but just on the face of it I think it could be really right for me. In a way, I already do it, just on an amateur basis (I have preserved my Amateur 'Curator' status). It just makes good clean sense to monetize those 'Curation' skills I've built up so it'd be almost stupid of me NOT to do it. (Become a 'Curator').

I'm not an artist, so i had a hard time picking out a book that was good, but not super expensive. this one fit the bill. the pages are heavy and have stood up to my micron pens (sharpies show through to the other side) and water colors. if you want to use sharpies or really wet the pages, you might want to use the watercolor version of this, since those pages are 140lb!!

John Ditullio Jr. painted a rough picture of life as a prospective member of the American Nazis.
Ditullio said he became a recruit in March 2006 after spending about two weeks hanging around the swastika-adorned compound on Teak Street. As a prospect, he was forced to spend hours guarding the front gate, monitoring surveillance cameras and doing yard work.
The goal was admission to the white supremacist group - only attainable with the OK of its membership. Despite the brutal 60-day indoctrination, Ditullio was hell-bent on joining.
"When I first met them, I was entranced by the glamour and theatrics of the brotherhood," he said.
Ditullio spent more than three hours on the witness stand Thursday, the fourth day of his trial on first-degree murder and attempted murder charges. He recounted his brief stay with the American Nazis and denied that he stabbed Patricia Wells and Kristofer King on March 23, 2006.
"I'm not the person that stabbed those people," he said.
King, 17, died of stab wounds to his head. Wells, now 48, escaped her attacker and ran for help. Ditullio, 23, faces a possible death sentence if found guilty of the murder. The defense is expected to rest its case this morning; closing statements and jury deliberations will follow.
Prosecutors contend Ditullio attacked Wells and King in an attempt to impress members of the American Nazis. Ditullio admitted that he and other members often hurled racial insults at Wells because she was seen associating with a black man. They also harassed Wells' son, Brandon Wininger, because he was a homosexual.
The desire for membership coupled with hatred pushed Ditullio to don a gas mask, climb a fence and enter Wells' mobile home, authorities said. Wininger wasn't home but his friend King was there using a computer.
The attacker first slashed Wells in the face. He then turned the knife on King as the teen tried to run out a bedroom door.
Ditullio testified that neo-Nazi Shawn Plott was the attacker.
He said he saw Plott late on the night of the attacks and that he looked "like he had seen a ghost." Shortly after seeing Plott, the other members left him alone in their mobile home with three loaded guns, Ditullio said.
He said the members had spiked his whiskey with Xanax and that he fell asleep. When he awoke and looked at the compound's surveillance monitors, he saw deputies with weapons surrounding the compound.
He responded by taking more Xanax and smoking pot before going back to sleep. The next thing he remembered was deputies bursting into the mobile home and taking him into custody.
"I had no idea what was going on," Ditullio said.
Assistant State Attorney Mike Halkitis grilled Ditullio in a lengthy cross-examination that focused on three damning letters Ditullio purportedly wrote.
Deputies found the first letter when they entered the mobile home. The writer talked about shooting the police and "dying for his race," among other things.
A second letter was intercepted by jail staff while Ditullio was in custody. In the letter to his father, Ditullio wrote that it was "high time I stand up and face the music."
Ditullio testified that the statements weren't an admission. He said it was a "deeply personal" letter that referenced incidents from his childhood, not the stabbings.
Ditullio admitted sending the third letter, a Christmas card King's father received in December. It contained a poem that insulted King and indicated he was killed because he was gay.
Ditullio testified that he sent the card because he was angry about a statement a member of King's family had made to a newspaper.
"I was just trying to strike back, man," he said. "I just couldn't believe they thought I did this."

Last week's blog was late, and this one is right on time, so they come thick and fast this week for a change.
Week 24 of my writing course is the penultimate class. Next week we hand in our third chapters of our novels for grading. Then we have to go it alone. Some people have finished their novels, others, like me, have only got the first three chapters. I intend to continue working on mine, but I fear that after focussing on the first three chapters with appraisal and editing from the tutors, the rest of the novel might well be junk. Nevertheless, I've leant a lot from the course and hopefully I can use some of the skills in the execution of the full novel.
As for this week's class, it was mostly spent talking individually about how we feel about our third chapters. I'm reasonably happy with mine, although I feel the length is a little on the long side, so I'll have to trim it down a little and decide whether or not to include another scene that has been bugging me to be included. On hearing other people talk about their chapter threes, I realised I wasn't the only one with this problem. Some of the issued raised by the group were;
- Formatting
- Chapter length
- Synopsis
There are no real hard and fast answers to these questions, so it's not worth debating them here, but they're all things that any writer encounters at some point or another.
The rest of the time was spent talking about the publishing process and industry in general, which turned into a kind of Q&A with the tutor. Subjects about the role of editors, re-writes, royalties, and traditional publishing versus ebook self-publishing made for interesting discussion, all of which are being debated all over the net, so I won't cover that ground here.
Like I mentioned in the last blog post, once the course has concluded next week I'll need to find new material to write about. I'll try and keep it writing-related, but any suggestions would be welcome.

A picture is worth a thousand words, right? Well, yes. But, perhaps even of more value than a mere photograph is when one or more pictures and related text are pulled together to form a power-packed visual aid. These visual aids are known as infographics, representing one of the best ways for businesses and individuals to present eye-catching and memorable information to their readers. Let's take a look at this growing and significantly important way that you can get your message across effectively and for a low cost.
Simply put, infographics are visual representations of information, including knowledge and data, that is assembled and laid out in an attractive and easy to understand format. Infographics seek to present eye-catching information that gets straight to the point and may include a map of a transit system, a sales report, accumulated product data or anything else that comes to mind.
Infographics typically replace website text and photos with one file. A simply cut and paste of the information to your blog or website can quickly dress up a website and take otherwise boring information and make it appear interesting.
For example, your company's annual financial reports may typically be viewed only by accountants and policy wonks. To get the attention of more people, you would use a special format with bright colors, attractive borders, varying typefaces and assorted pictures or graphics to get your points across. You may say much of the same thing with an infographic that you would with a financial report, but your presentation is about enhancing eye appeal.
Telling a Story
An infograhic allows you to tell a story, by making use of various tools that can make your story easy to follow and comprehend. You'll group your information together by subject, placing the most important information first at the beginning of your infographic.
An infographic is highly scannable — with the eye — and easy to comprehend. You can easily present upwards of a dozens areas of information, using different blocks, colors, sketches and pictures to get your point across.
Common Tools
Yes, you can make infographics the old-fashioned way by breaking out the graph paper, rulers, pencils and color markers. Still, you will need to scan this information in to turn it into an infographic, a process that can take a long time to accomplish.
Instead, most infographics are created by using tested illustration software such as Adobe Illustrator. Online services have emerged in recent years as have companies that will take the information you supply to build a beautiful infographic that you won't soon forget. You will want to work with someone that has experience building infographics with proven results. Most companies will showcase their top designs right online, with many of the more popular ones instantly recognizable.
Share This
Just as you would want your infographic to be featured on your website or company page, you'll be thrilled if others find your information to be worth sharing. And that is the most significant aspect of infographics; your finished work should be shared via social media with the encouragement that others would publish this information to their sites. Done right, and you can "advertise" your service or product without paying for placement of that information on other sites. Your infographic can go viral and inspired hundreds, perhaps thousands of users to share your information. Check out Visual.ly for a website that has at its sole purpose to share infographics.
One more thing to keep in mind about infographics: you can animate yours and you can also make it interactive. Both options can be combined to deliver a simply stellar infographic, making your information the eye candy that others will want to download and share with abandon.

Smoke free campus in two years?
At the Feb. 21 and 22 Board of Regents meeting, more than 10 people testified on behalf of making UAA a smoke-free campus. Pre-med student Shana Kim also spoke in favor of making UAA a smoke-free campus.
The students' goal, informally presented by Gabriel Garcia, assistant professor of public health, is to get 1,000 signatures per semester until the campus is smoke-free. Garcia said he will not stop his efforts until UAA is entirely smoke-free.
At the recent Board of regents meeting in Anchorage, about 300 students signed a petition in favor of a smoke-free campus. In the last five weeks, the group has gotten nearly 100 more signatures.
"There are no safe levels, nor safe distance," Garcia said, explaining his feelings on secondhand smoke.
While there is no official plan drafted for a smoke-free campus, according to Kim, the transition will likely be broken up into a two-part plan if it is ever approved. She explained that she would first like to see the campus be smoke-free, then tobacco-free.
If passed, the ban may allow students to smoke in their parked vehicles on campus.
Kim said the group's next step is to work with any USUAA senators who are willing to endorse the proposition, in addition to increasing student involvement via petitions and polls. She would like to collaborate with USUAA senators to move toward becoming UAA a smoke-free campus by the end of the semester.
Kim and Garcia both emphasize the impression smoking makes on children on campus and the right of the non-smoker to breathe clean air to support their cause.
Kim said secondhand smoke personally bothers her and causes lung cancer, which both contribute to her personal support of the ban. She also does not feel the current smoking policy accurately reflect the interests of students, staff and faculty.
She would like to see a smoke-free UAA by 2015.
According to Kim, the group is currently researching smoking policies at other universities.
"It's a behavioral and cultural thing we're trying to influence," Garcia said.
Performing arts sophomore Leo Crowley smokes often on campus and strongly opposes the ban. As a compromise, he suggested distanced designated smoking areas.
"That'd be whack," Crowley said after hearing the details of the proposed ban.
Nursing junior Erica Dittmar said she partially supports the ban. She said she quit smoking and doesn't prefer walking by people while they smoke.
She said she would support the ban in an ideal world, but she suggested more ashtrays and enforced designated smoking areas as a compromise.
Kristen Krain-Robinson, justice senior and student worker at the Consortium Library, supports the smoking ban. She said cigarette butts were found in the library stairwell three to four times last year. Loose tobacco and marijuana were also found on a table over winter break.
Despite these incidents, she said none have occurred since the spring semester started.
There will soon be posters to advertise the motion to make UAA a smoke-free campus and more efforts may be seen in the future, Kim said.

"Grant High's buzzing with new rumors and gossip -- as usual. Not only has Adrian disappeared, supposedly with Marc Molina, but Madison and Lauren are telling everybody that Ricky's therapy. And it turns out Grace was in therapy too. Finally, Amy finds out about Lauren and Ricky, and she isn't too pleased.
But Lauren might as well be old news to Ricky, because he's set his sights on somebody else: Grace. And with Adrian gone, he and Grace confess their true feelings for each other, but decide to take things slowly. Then a harmless cookie-baking session between the two heats up quickly... until Grace's mom comes into the room. And she isn't very happy, because she just found out that Garce told Torn all about her cheating past. And, unfortunately, Marshal found out too.
Meanwhile, Adrian's dad, Ruben, tracks down Adrian with a little help from the cops. He convinces her to live with him and his family for a trial period, and to enroll at an all-girls school.
Ben and Amy, on the other hand, are talking about having sex for the first time. But will they do it?
Over at the Juergens household, Anne's looking sexier than ever...but she isn't doing it for George. Does she mean it when she tells George she doesn't want to be married to him anymore? If so, is the family headed for a split?
And course, gymnast Shawn Johnson just happens to come back to Grant High, fresh from winning gold at the Beijing Olympics. When she runs into Ricky in the hallway, he doesn't even know she's been away -- but that doesn't stop him from hitting on her. She's kind of into it.

VIDEO: Tour de France boss visits Essex as preparations hot up ahead of cyclists' arrival
Posted: April 08, 2014|
TOUR de France general director Christian Prudhomme visited County Hall this afternoon (Tuesday, April 8) as part of a tour de Essex.
He stopped off in Chelmsford to meet Cllr Ann Naylor, cabinet member for health and wellbeing, Cllr Ray Gooding, Stansted representative and cabinet member for education and lifelong learning, and Jason Fergus, head of Active Essex, as part of his tour of the Stage 3 route, which runs through the county on its journey from Cambridge to London on July 7.
Mr Prudhomme said that after leaving Cambridge "the race moves on to Essex to showcase the county's beautiful towns, villages and countryside, before moving onto London for a spectacular finish on the Mall - seven years to the day after the 2007 Grand Départ".
He added: "We are proud to come back to London and the UK, which will provide an incredible backdrop for the Tour."
Cllr Naylor said: "It was wonderful to meet Mr Prudhomme - who was able to see via his tour that Essex is truly one of most unique and beautiful areas of the country.
"I am thrilled about the great things the Tour de France will bring to our county and am sure the international cyclists will receive an enthusiastic welcome from all Essex residents who watch the race."
As preparations for the cyclists' arrival hot up, Uttlesford District Council has also created a new interactive route map of the Tour de France as it races through the area at www.uttlesford.gov.uk/tdfmap.
People can pop in their postcode and zoom in to explore the route used by 120 of the world's top riders, who will be travelling some 3,000km in 22 days.
Following a 100 day countdown event last week, the council has also teamed up with Newdales Bike Shop in Saffron Walden to film the route so that people can now view the course through the eyes of the cyclists and Weekly News reporter Eleanor Busby was one of those who donned lycra and a helmet to create the footage.
Cllr Howard Rolfe, cabinet member for communities and partnerships, said: "The interactive map and on-board route video will hopefully increase the excitement and interest in the race coming to our district in July. The map in particular will help residents and businesses plan ahead as they will be able to find out exactly how close their location will be in relation to the event."
"This week the council will directly contact all businesses in the district informing them of the event and its implications by way of a bespoke leaflet and letter."
The route through Uttlesford will be subject to road closures from approximately 7.30am until 4pm to all traffic, other than emergency services. This will ensure the timely and safe operation of the event as well as the transfer of several thousand support staff, vehicles, barriers and signage.
Uttlesford Route:
• Enters the district on the B184 from the A11 and down Windmill Hill towards Saffron Walden;
• In the centre of Saffron Walden it turns left at the traffic signals from High Street into George Street/Hill Street;
• It continues into East Street and onto the B1053/Radwinter Road;
• In Radwinter the B1053 becomes the B1054 for a short distance;
• Just east of Radwinter riders turn right onto the B1053 again;
• The race continues on the B1053 until just west of Great Sampford where it becomes the B1051 for a short distance;
• In Great Sampford cyclists turn left onto the B1053 again before exiting the district;
• The route re-enters the district on School Road through Bannister Green towards Felsted;
• In Felsted riders take Braintree Road, the B1417, before turning left into Chelmsford Road in the centre of the village;
• They continue on the B1417 until the B1008.

I'm so confused!!! now with everybody posting on 2 forums, it's like having a really great party in 2 rooms, and having to run back and forth, so you won't miss anything good. And to top it off I don't remember which forum I posted what, or if it got posted, or if my post was answered!!! Also my family is hungary and they're meowing at me, my husband is licking my arm and aaaahh!! THUD!!!!
Thanks Schatzi, I keep forgetting to do that.
I'm terrified of missing out on any of the action, and if I didn't get ANYTHING done before because of this board, now I'm completely busy by frantically clicking my way around, I will definately soon become even more nevrotic than I already am.
This is too much multitasking for me.

Ever since I can remember, makeup has always been a passion of mine. Growing up, I remember begging my mother to allow me to put a little lipstick or blush on. As I got older and became more aware of other types of makeup, I also became obsessed with the world of Special Effects Makeup. The art of transforming ones face into a completely different person or character fascinated me, and It led me to getting my education at MUD Make-up Designory in Burbank CA. I graduated in 2008 and soon began to assist doing makeup for various studio projects.
"Ever since I can remember, makeup has always been a passion of mine."
Although I loved my job and everything it was giving me, I realized that it was taking me away from the things I treasured the most. My husband, and my family. In 2010 I decided to walk away from the film industry. I stumbled upon the wedding industry completely by accident. I started out by working on one of my best friends weddings, and from there my career snowballed. My work has been featured on numerous Wedding Blogs throughout the Country, as well as in Europe and it has been such an honor being recognized by them. I never knew how much I would enjoy working on weddings and engagement shoots. Seeing couples in love brings me so much joy. For me, love is the most important thing in this world. Love is the most powerful of all we have been given. It is the reason why we are all here, and the reason why I have been lucky enough to have a career that brings a smile to my face every single day. I have never felt more comfortable in my own skin, both professionally and personally. I am doing excatly what I am supposed to be doing. And god willing, I will be able to do it for the rest of my life. I love to make my clients look and feel their best! Whether its air brushing or liquid foundation, I take tremendous pride in what I do, I am a perfectionist, and look forward to working with you.

Joe Allen is primed and ready to build on the platform of his first two seasons with Liverpool when the club makes a much-anticipated return to the Champions League in the new campaign.
The Reds are currently in Charlotte for the fourth stage of their United States pre-season tour, with AC Milan the next obstacle in the International Champions Cup on Saturday.
As every Kopite knows, there is history between the two sides, having met in the historic 2005 European Cup final at Istanbul and once again two years later.
There may be slightly less on the line on this latest occasion, which kicks off at 6.40pm local time and 11.40pm BST and can be watched live online by LFCTV GO subscribers.
Allen, however, is keen to test his skills against one of the heavyweight teams of the continent ahead of participating in fixtures of huge stature when the Champions League starts in September.
"To get the chance to play against teams like Milan is a brilliant experience," the Welshman said at a press conference from the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.
"There is obviously history between the two clubs in Champions League finals. I'm really looking forward to getting my first taste of Champions League football this season - it was a dream of mine and a target I had when I joined the club.
"I was hoping I'd get that chance. It's a club that belongs in the competition - and everyone would agree they are really looking forward to it getting underway.
"I've had two great years here. I've still been developing and have settled in really well. I had a taste of a successful season last season, really pushing at the top end of the table, which is where you want to be as a player.
"With the quality we've added in, I'm confident I can play a part in another great season for the club."
A 1-0 victory over Olympiacos and a penalties win against Manchester City have moved Liverpool into prime position to reach Monday's tournament final in Miami.
Asked about the hunger within the squad to top their group and book a place in the showpiece encounter, Allen responded: "Pre-season is all about getting ready in terms of fitness and getting that match time under your belt.
"At the same time, if there are games to be won and a competition to win, then that's what we want to do as players. We've come up against some great teams and the game tomorrow night is a chance to go one step further.
"Doing as well as we can and winning as many pre-season games as possible will hopefully give us a good start to the season."

Top five tips for workplace wellness programs
The idea of launching a wellness program, however, can seem daunting – especially for small businesses, which often lack the resources of their larger counterparts. A 2012 National Small Business Association survey found that 22 percent of respondents offered wellness programs. Fifty-eight percent of those surveyed said there isn't enough information available to small businesses about implementing wellness programs. We do know what works for larger organizations that can be applied to smaller ones.

Avoiding the back-pay double-whammy
If your business is violating minimum wage or overtime regulations found in the Fair Labor Standards Act, there is little you can do to avoid a liquidated damage assessment. A violation does not have to be repeat or willful for such assessment. The only wiggle room is what's called a "good faith defense." Unfortunately for some employers, blissful ignorance is not a good faith defense.

Poverty alleviation is high on the global agenda being one of the Millennium Development Goals and subsequent Make Poverty History Movement. Tourism being a major source of economic growth especially in developing countries can play a significant role in reducing poverty and will be a central role to tourism development in the future. The incorporation of poverty reduction into tourism development policy has special poignancy for those developing countries where there are natural resources for a tourism industry, whilst simultaneously having significant numbers of their population living in poverty. The use of tourism development for poverty reduction is subsequently held to have significance for developing countries that face economic and social challenges and have limited development alternatives. This is the first book to provide a holistic, explicit and detailed introduction to the relationship of poverty and tourism development within the context of developing countries. The book is divided into three distinct sections, progressing from an evaluation of the key concepts; to the causal factors of poverty; to how tourism is being implemented in policy and practice to reduce poverty and the relationship of tourism and poverty in the future. The theoretical framework inherent to the text is inter-disciplinary, incorporating tourism, geography, politics, economics, environmental studies, development studies, sociology and history literature, to provide the reader with a range of perspectives from which to explore the key issues of the tourism and poverty relationship. It integrates examples and original case studies from varying geographical developing regions including Latin American, Asia and Africa to show practical insights into tourism "s role in poverty alleviation. To encourage reflection on main themes address and critical thinking Think points ", discussion questions and links to further reading are included in each chapter.

Last night, 23-year-old soul singer Candice Glover became the twelfth winner of American Idol. She narrowly beat out 22-year-old country crooner Kree Harrison and previous favorites, and pop voices, Angie Miller and Amber Holcomb to the crown.
Even though ratings have been floundering for American Idol this season, the one shining constant was Candice Glover's voice. Week after week, she awed audiences with unbelievable renditions of such classics as "Somewhere," and contemporary songs like, "When I Was Your Man."
Glover had auditioned before for American Idol, and been twice rejected. Even this season, she was frequently placed behind the likes of Angie Miller and Amber Holcomb. However, when she sang The Cure's "Lovesong" a few weeks ago, she not only laid down one of the most incredible vocal performances in American Idol history, she also inspired the moment of the season: Mariah Carey got up from the judges' table and anointed her glitter (and no, I'm still not over it).
Candice Glover's winning single, "I Am Beautiful," is available for download and purchase today.

DALLAS - President Barack Obama, seeking to keep a humanitarian crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border from becoming a deeper political liability, pushed back Wednesday at critics who have cast his administration's response to the influx of unaccompanied children as slow and ineffective.
To those pressing Obama to visit the border during his two-day trip to Texas, he retorted: "This is not theater. This is a problem."
Among Obama's harshest critics has been Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a 2012 Republican presidential candidate who is mulling another run for the White House. Perry greeted Obama upon his arrival in the state Wednesday evening, then discussed the situation at the border with him privately and during a larger meeting with local officials and faith leaders.
Obama cast his meeting with Perry as "constructive" and argued that he is already seeking to do much of what the governor is calling for, including sending additional resources to the border to make the deportation process more effective.
"Bottom line is that there's nothing the governor indicated he'd like to see that I have a philosophical objection to," Obama said.
Perry, in a statement released after his meeting with Obama, made no mention of having any areas of agreement with the president.
"Five hundred miles south of here in the Rio Grande Valley, there is a humanitarian crisis unfolding that has been created by bad public policy, in particular the failure to secure the border," he said.
While much of the criticism of Obama has come from Republicans, even some members of Obama's own party were starting to make the case that Obama would be well-advised to visit the border and see the situation for himself.
"Going out there and talking to people who live this day in and day out - that's the perspective that's missing," said Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz.
For Obama, the border crisis has added another layer of complications to the already fraught debate in Washington over the nation's broken immigration laws.
With no indication that congressional Republicans plan to take up comprehensive legislation, Obama has vowed to make needed changes through his executive powers. But the GOP argues that the action he took on his own in 2012 to allow some young people in the U.S. illegally to stay in the country is to blame for the current crisis, a contention the White House disputes.
The young people arriving at the border are in some cases fleeing violence in their home countries. But their arrival also appears to stem from rumors that they would be allowed to stay if they reached the U.S.
Obama, who is primarily in Texas to raise money for Democrats, said he was getting frequent updates about the situation from his staff and appeared to see little additional benefit in viewing the situation himself.
"There's nothing that is taking place down there that I am not intimately aware of," Obama said, noting that Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson was readying for his sixth trip to the border in recent weeks.
Perry, who has pressed Obama to go, has visited the Rio Grande Valley twice since the surge in unaccompanied child immigrants gained national attention. On June 23, he visited a Border Patrol facility and spoke of an "untenable situation." On July 3, Perry testified at a House Homeland Security Committee field hearing in McAllen, reiterating his call for Obama to come see the situation at the border.

Call for participation in the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and Ordnance Survey United Kingdom Interoperability Assessment Plugfest (UKIAP) 2013
The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and the Ordnance Survey, with the support of the Association for Geographic Information (AGI), are leading the first of a series of events called the United Kingdom Interoperability Assessment Plugfest (UKIAP) 2013. The purpose of UKIAP 2013 is to advance the interoperability of geospatial products and services based on OGC standards within the UK geospatial information (GI) community. The results of the Plugfest will allow Ordnance Survey to provide best practice guidance to those who want to consume or implement geospatial web services or products based on OGC standards. UKIAP 2013 is open to commercial and open source vendors and to all GI organisations in the UK. This request is being issued as a Call For Participation (CFP) because the OGC and Ordnance Survey would like to involve as many participants in the initiative as possible.
A "point of interest" (POI) is a location for which information is available. A POI can be as simple as a set of coordinates, a name, and a unique identifier, or more complex such as a three-dimensional model of a building with names in multiple languages, information about opening and closing hours, and a civic address. POI data has many applications, including augmented reality browsers, location-based social networking games, geocaching, mapping and navigation systems.
The MOSIA consortium group (MOdeling Support with standards for Information and Architecture models applied to ATM) is a consortium of organisations with a background in Information management and Information, Service and Architecture modeling from a set of standardisaton organisations, in particular OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium), ISO/TC211, INSPIRE and OMG (Object Management Group). The MOSIA group is led by SINTEF and consist of the following partners:
· Snowflake Software
· Open Geospatial Consortium (OGCE)
· No Magic
· Institute for Geoinformatics (IfGI), Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster (WWU)
· iGSI
· Envitia
· Carmenta
· Managed AIS (M-AIS)
The FAA's Aircraft Access to System Wide Information Management (AAtS) initiative is in its evolutionary stages of requirements and standards development. Its goal is to provide aircraft connectivity to the FAA's SWIM infrastructure to communicate/share aviation data and services. This connectivity will establish a common operating picture between the flight deck and air traffic control for collaborative strategic decision-making. Distribution of the vast amount of operational information (such as AI, MET and ATM) needed to support the safe movement of aircraft during all phases of flight in the National Airspace System (NAS) will increase capacity, efficiency, and result in more timely departures and arrivals.
Similarly, there are a number of aviation standards in development by a variety of industry groups and committees (i.e., the RTCA Special Committee 206 (SC-206), Aircraft/Ground Information Exchange/Manager Air-Ground Interface Communications (AGIE/MAGIC), and Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards) that are also pursuing the development of requirements and standards to leverage ground based aviation related information and data networking technology to support the operation of aircraft.
Thus, the FAA and industry are moving towards consensus that electronic distribution of operational data and technical information will increase the NAS/airline productivity and efficiency and deliver a more positive passenger experience both domestically and internationally. However, there is a need to encourage harmonization of all of these efforts since the aforementioned aviation committees also represent global interests.
This projects puts forward a plan whereby the differences in requirements/standards undertaken by SC-206, AGIE/MAGIC and OGC can be identified and harmonized for both domestic and international interests. The goal is to set a framework for recommending and testing a harmonized architecture between all 3 concepts, requirements and standards.

It's been a rough season for the Logan High School softball team.
But it got a little bit sweeter on Wednesday after the Lady Cats routed Nitro 14-4 in the Class AAA Region 4 Section 2 tourney at St. Albans.
Logan (12-15) advanced to play host St. Albans in Thursday night's sectional championship round. The Lady Cats and St. Albans (25-4) were scheduled to play two games on Thursday in the double elimination sectional finals.
Since both teams are 1-0 in sectional play at split would force a winner-take-all title game on Friday night at St. Albans.
St. Albans, ranked No. 5 in the state in Class AAA, advanced to the finals with Wednesday night's 9-1 win in the tourney opener. With the two losses, Nitro has been eliminated.
Several Logan players had big games against Nitro.
Senior pitcher Shana Hall, who has been out the last two weeks due to arm troubles, made a triumphant return to the mound as she fired a complete game three-hitter. She went all seven innings and issued no walks.
Rachelle Toppings, Logan's senior shortstop who signed recently with the University of Charleston, was 4-for-5 at the plate with a solo home run and a double.
Aarron Ward, who has also missed some games recently with a sore arm, was 3-for-4 with a triple and an RBI.
Hannah Kolovich was 2-for-5 with a triple, a double and three RBI. Summer Collins went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles. Hana Sedlock was 1-for-2 with a triple and two RBI. Chastidy Wiley had a double and an RBI for the Lady Cats.
St. Albans was led by Ali Haynes in its win over Nitro. Haynes launched a grand slam for the Red Dragons in St. Albans' eight-run second inning.
Whitney Jones doubled and drove in three runs for the Red Dragons.

She had a substantial supporting role in "The Red Shoes" --as Mme. Hermine notes, she played the prima who leaves the company to marry, thus creating an opening for Moira Shearer's heroine. And yes, she looked very chic, too.

Video:How to Saddle a Horsewith Katherine Calkins
Before you can start riding a horse, you'll need to know how to properly saddle a horse. Find out how in just a few easy steps.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Saddle a HorseThis is Katherine Calkins, owner and instructor of Wicked Good Horsemanship and the J-Six Ranch Equestrian Center, in Benson, Arizona, here for About.com. Today, I'm going to show you how to properly and safely saddle your horse. This is important because you want to keep your horses back comfortable and keep yourself safe, remembering that the horse is a prey animal and has a flight response.
Proper Saddle PlacementMy student Katey is going to come in and properly demonstrate how to saddle a horse. But first we're going to lift the saddle further ahead then we think it needs to go. This way we can slide it back into place. The saddle will lock into place where it needs to go. What we want to check after the saddle has been placed on the horses back is that the saddle is not so far back that it's over the horses loin. Or, that it's so far forward that it's blocking his shoulder.
Adjusting the GirthOK, we'll go to the opposite side of the horse and bring the girth down. You want to make sure that there are no twists in the girth. We'll drop the girth down and of course we've already groomed our horse, so we know there's no burrs or no rocks or anything in the girth area. We will walk back around the horse making sure to stay close to him. Now before we cinch up the girth we want to reach and make sure we pull up the saddle pad into the gullet, in the front of the saddle. This ensures withers space. We want to make sure that the saddle is not resting on the horse's withers because that would be very uncomfortable. Now, that we know that there's withers space where we can slip our hand in we're going to reach under, grab the girth, and do it up. We want to make sure our girth is on the same hole on each side. So it's on the second hole on the other side, so we're going to put it on the second hole on this side as well.
Saddle SafetyIf your girth is not on the same hole on each side what will happen is as you're riding the girth will pull the saddle one way or another. And that will cause your saddle to slide off to the side. This could be dangerous over fences because if your horse takes a sudden turn, your saddle could just roll right off.

Galveston matches Nueces County's dune protection rule
CORPUS CHRISTI - A dune protection rule pioneered three years ago by Nueces County over the objections of development advocates will be the new standard for Galveston beaches.
The ordinance, known as the 350-foot rule and widely acknowledged as one of the most stringent beach setback restrictions in the nation, passed Galveston's City Council Thursday with a 6-1 vote. The setback places construction of habitable structures 350 feet behind the dune vegetation line, allowing an exemption option for owners of undeveloped, previously platted, gulf-front lots, said Wendy O'Donohoe, Galveston's director for the department of planning and community development.
Fred McCutchon, who chairs the Nueces County Beach Management Advisory Committee and helped write the rule, was pleased to hear the news.
"The Galveston decision was confrmation that we've been doing things right," McCutchon said, "and that we had the foresight to plan for growth rather than deal for houses that are on the beach or in the water because of erosion and storm surges."
When the rule went before Nueces County Commissioners in 2007, it was touted by some as protection for both the environment and development, and attacked by others as an encroachment on waterfront owners' property rights and a chill on development.
O'Donohoe said Hurricane Ike's toll on Galveston encouraged city leaders to pass the ordinance, which had been under review before the storm.
"The erosion from Hurricane Ike really brought that issue to the forefront," she said.
City leaders' decision is awaiting approval by the Texas General Land Office, a state office that oversees dune protection on the Texas coast.
