When they are used in that way, I find it a bit arrogant (for want of a better word) because the writer is expecting the reader to make the effort to understand what s/he means, whereas I think the onus is on the writer to make him/herself clear. Having a joke and a laugh can often be done far better orally than in writing. My personal rule of thumb: if it reads snidey, sarky or mean without the emoticon, re-write it until it doesn't.
I think that was really well put Magenta. I employ the 'preview post' button (sometimes repeatedly) and make the 'necessary' changes...sometimes I give up without posting as I am not confident I have worded something properly..
I also think you're very accurate with the onus being on the writer as well as the reader...good post.

ERWIN — Over the past few years, Dara Carney-Nedelman, Dylan Roberts and Eilsabeth Moughon have worked to develop maps for some of Unicoi County's more popular destinations, and their proficiency with these projects has helped earn each an opportunity to put these skills to use abroad and bring change to other parts of the world.
The three high school juniors, who are part of the Unicoi County 4-H GPS Team, have been selected to take part in the Global Connections and Exchange My Community, Our Earth Youth TechCamps Program. The program, led by the Association of American Geographers and sponsored by the U.S. State Department, gives those selected to participate the opportunity to travel to different parts of the world and study the effects of climate change in these areas.
Students taking part in the program will also have the opportunity to put geotechnologies such as online mapping, community Geographic Information Systems, mobile Global Positioning Systems and crowdmapping to use.
Those chosen for the program were able to choose from one of three countries in which to study — Bolivia, South Africa and Panama. Only 10 U.S. high school students were selected for each country, meaning the UCHS trio represents three of the nation's 30 students selected to take part.
They said they learned of the opportunity to take part in the program late last year through their participation in the National 4-H GIS/GPS Leadership Team and submitted applications, a component of which was experience with GIS. Each later learned they had been selected to take an all-expenses-paid trip to the destination of their choice, and although headed to different locations, the three agree they are honored to participate in the program.
Both Carney-Nedelman and Moughon have selected Bolivia as their destination. There, they will study the impact natural disasters have on a region of the country. These disasters are often caused by flooding or drought, and this presents an issue to Bolivians living along the landslide-vulnerable slopes of the Andean terrain, information from the GCE said.
Before heading to Bolivia, the two will first travel to Miami for an orientation June 27. They will leave for Bolivia on June 30 and will remain there before leaving to return to the U.S. on July 9.
"I'm honored to be chosen," Moughon said. "I didn't try to get my hopes up. When I found out, I was just like 'Wow, I'm going to Bolivia.' I am most excited probably for the cultural experience, but to go along with that, I'm just excited it's an educational trip.
"I feel like going to Bolivia and studying there, going out in the field and working with the students, I'll get much more of a feel of the place rather than just staying in a hotel room and touring the streets. I feel like I'll learn a lot from the people and from studying there, so I'm excited for the purpose of the trip, and I'm just honored to have been chosen."
Like Moughon, Carney-Nedelman said she is looking forward to the cultural experience. She also said she is looking forward to working with Bolivian students to make a difference there.
"With this trip, and actually being able to travel to Bolivia and help change that country, hopefully speaking to the leader of that area where we're in, we'll hopefully make an impact on how they can set up the buildings so they know about erosion and such, but also culturally where we're actually able to work with other Bolivian students there," Carney-Nedelman said.
"We've traveled to San Diego, to Nashville, all these places, but it's just been us. In San Diego, it was other students from throughout the U.S., but it was never actual students in San Diego. We weren't really able to impact that area particularly, so I think that's the major thing I'm looking forward to is we're going to be able to change that part of the country in some manner or another."
Roberts opted to travel to South Africa. His work there will focus on how climate change is impacting food security. In sub-Saharan Africa, climate change has posed a large threat to food secuirty, the GCE said. Roberts will leave for Washington, D.C., on July 9 before heading to South Africa. He will return home July 23.
"For me, being accepted is amazing, but this is going to open so many doors for us, not only today but down the road," Roberts said. "This will be something that we'll carry with us for the rest of our lives. For three of us to be accepted from Unicoi, that's huge. It's going to be the adventure of a lifetime, halfway around the world."
Over the past few years, the three have created maps for destinations in Unicoi County such as the Nolichucky River, the Erwin Linear Trail, the county's recycling centers and the Pinnacle Fire Tower Hiking Trail. Ty Petty, 4-H agent for the University of Tennessee Extension in Unicoi County, said these three have worked hard over the years, and he is proud to see this work continue to pay off.
"I'm so proud of these three students," Petty said. "They have worked so hard using their GIS skills to promote Unicoi County, and now that success has brought them a new opportunity to make a difference in a foreign country. This is a great honor for our Unicoi County students to achieve, when you consider that only 10 students from across the United States are selected for each of these international projects."comments powered by Disqus

The Frankenstein foods!
I truly don't have anything against Frankenstein, he's actually a pretty cool guy.
What I DO have a problem with are "Frankenstein foods," AKA Genetically Modified Foods (GMO's), and there's a very good reason why I feel this way, as there are many disadvantages.
The questions I get asked most:
- What are GMOs?
- Why are people eating them?
- And why can they be so dangerous?
All great questions, and I'm happy to answer them because I really need to shed some light on this issue So instead of me replying to each email independently, I figured that a nice post on it would be even better.
The GMO battle is VERY REAL!
GMO's are proving to be very controversial these days and have actually raised many questionable issues with a lot of people – scientific, environmental, social, ethical, political, and health overall. Needless to say, there's too much to debate.
Generally speaking, the term "GMO" refers to food crops that have been reformed or altered (genetically) by utilizing a variety of scientific procedures. In other words, scientists putting food genes through processes by means of providing them with 'new' and/or 'boosted' features.
It's the equivalent of somebody merging the genetics of a chicken and a pig together to create a " Super Chicken-Pig!"
Not too sure if I would want to eat a super chicken-pig…
The monetary factor
The GMO process is all about making money – creating a product that can appeal to the masses, preserve well, grow efficiently, and sell – no two ways about it.
Scientists, big food corporations (and farmers alike) are trying to create strains that can withstand what normal foods and plants can't; these traits include, chemical tolerances, pesticide resistance, heightened nutritional content, and the tolerance of extreme environments. All of it sounds good (in a sense), but the processes involved with genetically altering food is far from being natural.
The GMO goal here is simple – to make a product that can endure the impossible and make the most money.
These procedures literally go against the natural code of food, and that's never really a good thing.
Gene splicing
GMO mutation allows particular genes to be recognized, isolated, duplicated and introduced to other organisms. The transferring of these genes amid species involves the insertion or deletion of specific genetic features. It's pretty insane what some scientists can do these days.
During these procedures, certain plant DNA can be artificially transferred between organisms. In other words, creating something that's not really supposed to be created in the first place.
The reason so much debate surrounds this practice is because it's NOT natural (or ethical) and we (the people) don't really know the effects quite yet, but that is changing.
In the grand scheme of things, GMOs are a pretty new concept, and it's much too early to know the effects. Who knows what 50-years of eating genetically modified foods can really do to a person. What I do know is that studies have shown some very adverse effects on animals, and to me, these are HUGE red flags.
There is also a strong possibility that these molecular processes can produce or cause certain allergic reactions to occur within those who eat them as well, as science is starting to shed some much-needed light on all of this as well.
My list below highlights some of what has been discovered when analyzing the effects of GMO's.
BIG GMO Disadvantages
- Possibility of humans developing new allergic reactions to the foods they eat.
- Strong likelihood of widespread infestation of diseases across species barriers.
- GM foods can disturb the natural flow of our environments.
- Artificial characteristics can be passed on to subsequent generations.
- Unpredictable health effects: we do not yet know the long-term effects of these mutated foods. It could be way worse than what we already recognize.
- Insufficient government regulation.
- Some crops are now possibly being engineered to produce their own pesticides.
- Global threat to humanity's food supply!
As you can see, there is A LOT to be worried about here.
So what do you do?
Unfortunately, GMO's are NOT labeled on the foods we eat, but people are trying to change that. It should be our right to know, and we're in support of the labeling process.
Our advice in avoiding GMOs revolve mainly around staying away from commercial-grade foods, and sticking to the real (and USDA certified) organic selections.
Eat organic as much as possible, know what you're eating, consume REAL food – simple as that.
If you're within the United States, look for this stamp
Certified organic foods are typically not allowed to be altered (genetically speaking), so this is why I often recommend them. If you're really looking to avoid all of those nasty GMOs, keep it organic, and REAL, as much as you can.
Your chances of avoiding GMOs will be more in your favor if you stick to eating higher quality food, but it's also important to note that it's possible for even some organic selections to have "modified" ingredients.
For example, soy is used in a lot of organic foods, and over 90% of the soy used in the United States is genetically modified. As far as it's incorporation into organic foods, one can never be too sure. It's a hard balancing act.
Do what you like with this information, as I am not here to persuade anyone – just want to promote a little awareness
Before you go, check out the studies I found below – pretty eye-opening!
See you all soon with more!

My wife and I are going to be using our own version of this chore card system in order to make sure we aren't overlooking what needs to be done when it needs to be done. Thanks a lot for the tip on the chore cards, I'll let everyone know how ours goes when we finish making and implementing it.
So far, it's going to be very different than what we've seen on the internet. The big difference is it's going to geared towards adults, so having individual assignments wont be necessary. The primary goal and focus will be simply to know when someone has and hasn't completed something so that we can keep on top of things without constantly consulting one another on what we've already done and discussing what needs to be done.

The story of Frank Ricci will be known to millions of Americans before the confirmation hearing for Sonia Sotormayor is finished. He is the white dyslexic firefighter who doggedly studied for the New Haven firefighter promotion exam, even buying special materials so he could master the information by listening rather than reading. The city threw out his test when seventeen whites and two Hispanics but no African Americans got passing scores.
The district court rejected Ricci's claim because everyone's test was tossed, and that meant there was no discrimination. (Yes, tossing the losers' tests isn't really "tossing," but more about that later.) Sotomayor and two colleagues on the Second Circuit gave the claim short shrift and in a paragraph (with no examination of the Constitutional issues) upheld the district court decision. Sotomayor's colleague Jose Cabranes at the time was clearly displeased that Sotomayor and her two panelists, he said, "failed to grapple with the questions of exceptional importance raised in this appeal."
At the Supreme Court, the justices seem to agree:
Justice Antonin Scalia scoffed at the claim that rejecting the results was racially neutral. "It's neutral because you throw it out for the losers as well as for the winners?" he asked. "That's neutrality?"
Chief Justice John Roberts, who views with distaste nearly all racially conscious government actions, suggested that the city junked the results because people of the wrong race came out on top. Does the city "get do-overs until it comes out right?" he asked. The court's four solid conservatives appeared likely to get a fifth vote in Justice Anthony Kennedy, who has found race-conscious programs acceptable only if they don't target specific individuals.
So what does this mean for Sotomayor? Several things, I think. First, her legal craftsmanship or lack thereof is an issue. Why the cursory opinion? It is not clear whether she missed the big issues or whether she was trying to keep the case from a full review. Neither is a good. Second, what is her conception of equal protection if not the right to be judged equally by the government according to one's ability? (Does she really think the city was practicing race neutrality?) Third, if empathy is her watchword how did that figure into the case here, if at all? Ricci seems a deserving fellow, at least entitled to an explanation from the court, if not his promotion.
In this one case we see the multiple issues which will be at the center of Sotomayor's confirmation hearing. And what's more we have a story that the average American can understand and relate to. The disabled guy worked hard under adverse circumstances and did better than most of his non-disabled peers, only to be told, "Sorry, the 'numbers' didn't come out right." And this is justice? Most Americans, I suspect, will think not and will want to know why Sotomayor acted as she did.
The mainstream media and some nervous, largely unnamed Republican strategists are suggesting that opposing Sotomayor will be bad politics. But really, which is more politically dangerous: asking hard questions of a lifetime appointee or defending a judge who gave Ricci the boot without so much as a full opinion? We'll find out this summer.

Founded in 1868, the New York County Dental Society (NYCDS) represents one of the largest groups of practicing dentists in the country and is the largest component dental society in New York State. The society had a website that was difficult for its staff members to manage and which clearly needed a more contemporary and professional design.
As a service-focused organization driven to meet the needs of practicing dental professionals as well as students and residents, NYCDS serves as the preeminent information and education hub for dentistry in Manhattan. In re-architecting the website, iMedia needed to work with NYCD's third-party vendor for member-only content, as well as providing an interface for the multiple continuing education courses the Society provides.
Creating a fresh, contemporary design, iMedia suggested that the new site be developed using the Kentico CMS. As a Kentico Gold Partner, iMedia was able to implement a highly maintainable, feature-rich platform, while incorporating a catalog of continuing education courses. Courses are input into a predictable template and rendered in individual pop-up screens, allowing the users to focus on their content without distraction. A prominent "register for this course" button makes the call-to-action self-evident, taking users into a third-party application requiring a member log-on before they register. Other aspects of the Members Center are also delivered by the fully-integrated third-party application.
Elements of the old site, such as a virtual tour, have been fully incorporated into the new, while new additions, such as Testimonials by members, were added to refresh the site's content.
The Kentico calendar application was deployed, aggregating a variety of different events. Website visitors can filter events to see only those they are interested in, from Membership Meetings to Continuing Education.
Most important for NYCDS was the ability to quickly update their site, particularly with the seasonal changes to their course offerings. The Kentico CMS provided them with an interface to do precisely that in an environment that is comfortable and easy to use.

Montana and Teagan
written by Connie Versagi
Sometimes it is the smallest among us who need a guardian angel the most.
If you are a regular to the website, I am sure you remember the litter of 10 puppies featured as Spare Dales a few months back. Mother and father taken into Rescue from a backyard breeder situation, and then the ATRA 10 were born. The 10 wonderful colored ribbons, around spunky little Airedale necks for identification. Their guardian angels were watching. All 10 found ATRA approved homes.
Two girls from the litter now find themselves in need of guardian angels once again.
First there is Montana (Peach Ribbon). Montana found a wonderful forever home with Rhonda Casady and all was looking well. Soon Rhonda noticed that Montana was limping, couldn't quite get herself up into the car and lots of trouble going down stairs. It was discovered that Montana had severe hip dysplasia and needed Triple Pelvic Osteotomy (TPO) surgery. This is a very costly and extensive surgery where the hip is broken in three places, rotated and pinned with brackets to improve function. Only one hip at a time can be done.
In the beginning of November Montana had her first TPO surgery performed. The healing process for her has been a painful one. So hard for Mom Rhonda to watch her whimper in pain, even as she slept. The healing process also provided many challenges, both for Mom and Montana. Okay, try to keep an Airedale puppy quiet and still. Right. Oh, and don't forget, leave those stitches alone! A tall order. Nonweight bearing, rest, and clean stitches are an absolute must for a successful recovery.
A sling was used to support Montana when she went out to relieve herself, which the vet wanted all outside "activities" accomplished in five minutes and back to resting. Mom Rhonda has compared this to taking Grandma from bed to wheelchair in her Hoyer lift! Of course there has been plenty of resisting of the collar to protect the stitches. What self-respecting Airedale would quietly tolerate such a contraption? A vet tech showed how to use a T-shirt put on backwards, fashioned into underpants to help protect the stitches. It is amazing how resourceful everyone has been to help this wonderful pup deal with all that is happening to her.
Now the hard work has begun to pay off, with Montana beginning to show her old perkiness and spunk. Even her old bark is back. Music to Mom's ears! Taking a late afternoon rest on the deck on her foam mattress, letting the breeze blow through her puppy curls. Dreaming of playing and chasing and being a strong healthy girl soon. Oh, to dream of the day when she can chase a pesky old squirrel without pain. Just running like the wind, with full abandonment to the chase. To be an Airedale.
Her next checkup is on December 12th. At this time if all has healed well with the first surgery, the other hip will be done as well. Rhonda feels better equipped to handle this scenario the second time, knowing what to expect.
Now comes Montana's sister, Teagan (Pink Ribbon). Teagan found a forever home with Robert & Michelle Neumann and Airedale brother Keighley, who has the same sire as Teagan. If you are wondering about her name, Teagan is Irish for Beautiful Girl. What an appropriate name for her. Unfortunately, Teagan needs the same surgery as Montana. The same nagging hip problems plague her too. Teagan is being taken to the University of Missouri Vet Clinic for her surgery on December 1st. We will post updates on Teagan and her recovery.
Yes, the girls surely could use guardian angels again. This time to sponsor the expenses incurred for their surgeries. The pups will probably never meet their angel benefactors, but oh, to carry in your heart the knowledge that you were part of providing these pups with a pain free life. By sponsoring these girls, you provide ATRA with the funds to help the next pup who needs us. Wouldn't it be amazing to be a Christmas Aire Angel?

What's the biggest challenge on the horizon for tourism right now? The biggest opportunity?
Pantuso: I think the biggest challenge is ourselves and our preconceived notions of what the customer wants, without doing the research to find out what they really want. I'm always amazed when I talk to someone who says they're doing the same tour that they've done for the last 10 years, but they're not seeing the same numbers they used to. People are still traveling, but do you not have the right product put together for them? I see that all over the place.
We need to get out of that box and look beyond what we do, and look at the different ways to do it. That's also the opportunity. By looking for new products and destinations, there's always new opportunities to provide products to the customers.
Simon: We asked our members this question, and the No. 1 trend that they saw that could impact all categories of our membership was the demographic shift and the age shift. That's changing our consumer needs. The baby boomers are both a challenge and an opportunity. They are wrapping up their working years and entering retirement. It's the largest consumer group ever, and it can shape the product that our members are offering. They're more sophisticated and experienced travelers, so that could change what they want to buy from packaged travel providers.
The other thing that people are remarking on is that as baby boomers are leaving the workforce, it's giving the Gen Xers and millennials leadership roles. That's why a lot of people are looking to the young professionals to help incorporate more technology solutions, social media and e-marketing to their businesses.
Assante: One of the greatest challenges in the student market is that the largest growth in student population is in inner-city schools, or schools where students are more financially challenged. How do you tap into the student market potential in these growing populations? How do you create travelers out of these young adults if their families are not traveling? So the challenge is helping more students from diverse and inner-city schools that are financially challenged to experience travel. How do we help make it affordable to everyone? I see that as the biggest challenge but also as an opportunity.
Dale: The biggest challenge is the continuation of regulations coming out of the nation's capital. We support a framework that make sense but allows us to operate as businesses. But it seems like there's a very proactive regulatory machine in our nation's capital that has a potential to stifle growth. We want to be very sensitive to communication and working with the agencies in D.C.
I think that the opportunities are around innovation. We have to continually reimagine what group travel is all about and what is going to make it appealing for future generations. One of the best ways is through multigenerational travel because you're introducing young people to how these experiences are unique and rewarding. I think we have to be innovative in how we create these group travel experiences. If we are, it will make us relevant and prosperous.

NCCU Eagles' eye squarely on Aug. 31 Bull City Classic, Duke
N.C. Central coach Henry Frazier III is big on continuity, and he has said one of the reasons the Eagles have turned a corner is because his coaching staff has largely remained intact since he arrived for the 2011 season.
This will be Frazier's third campaign at NCCU, which is coming off of its first winning season since 2007, finishing 6-5 in 2012, 5-3 in the MEAC.
The Eagles ended the season with a share of third place in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.
At the conclusion of sanctioned spring football practice, Frazier said he's looking forward to seeing the eventual results of off-season, non-supervised training by his players.
"They won't be here with me on the field, but they'll still be doing football-related activities in terms of working out," Frazier said. "Attacking the workouts. You're just not showing up to lift or showing up to run. You want to attack the workouts."
There's summer school for the Eagles, all the while getting in workouts on their own before reporting to training camp as a team on July 31, Frazier said.
"We're going to come back, report and get ready for Duke," Frazier said.
NCCU opens the 2013 season on Aug. 31 against Duke in the Bull City Gridiron Classic at Wallace Wade Stadium.
One Eagle has picked up where he left off in the fall.
NCCU's Tazmon Foster made no shortage of big plays at linebacker last season, and he was all over the field during the spring game at O'Kelly-Riddick Stadium.
At the time, Frazier said he needed to study the video from that intra-squad scrimmage before making a deeper assessment of what he thought was a pretty good showing by his players. But he'd seen all he needed to grade Foster.
"He might have had 40 tackles," Frazier said.
It was actually seven tackles — six of them for losses — but no one was arguing.
"He's so disciplined," Frazier said of Foster.
Frazier was referring to a spring game play in which a defensive teammate was returning an interception and Foster was looking for someone to block. He passed up an opportunity to knock the daylights out of a wide receiver in his way.
"But what he did was grab him and say, 'I'm not going to hit you! I'm not going to hit you!' And I heard him tell him that," Frazier said of Foster. "That's just discipline. I always say, you've got to practice like a champion. Yeah, he could have leveled him. It was a clean shot. It is a dressed-up practice, and that just shows me the discipline that he has and his understanding of the game. He's special. Tazmon, he's a special football player."
Foster picked off a pass, too, and returned it 20 yards to set up a touchdown.
NOTES — Brandon McLaren's 47-yard field goal in the spring game caught Frazier's attention. On the other side, holdover starter Oleg Parent missed an extra point in the fourth quarter that would have brought his team to within a field goal of the lead.
"Did you see him make that 47-yarder?" Frazier said of McLaren. "All I say is look at the stats. They don't lie."
When NCCU reconnects in the summer, a couple of key personnel battles could be at quarterback, where Jordan Reid will have to separate himself from three other starting contenders, and kicker, where Parent has McLaren to deal with.
"If you have competition at every position, that makes your team better," Frazier said. "So, yeah, (Parent) should be concerned."

H. S. M. (Donald) Coxeter was unquestionably the best known and most successful practitioners of "intuitive geometry" during much of the twentieth century; some writers call this he "classical geometry". "Intuitive geometry" is used here to denote the part of geometry that starts with the study of simple figures (points, lines, polygons, circles, polyhedra, and such) and proceeds by generalization to more complicated objects and to higher dimensions. Tools from combinatorics, algebra, analysis, topology and other fields are often used, but an intuitively accessible interpretation remains the core of the subject. During the first third of the twentieth century this aspect of geometry became overshadowed by disciplines oriented towards the exploitation of heavier mathematical tools. This gave rise to flourishing of topology as well as algebraic and differential geometry but made preoccupation with intuitive geometry all but disreputable.
Starting in the 1930s, Coxeter showed that this attitude is not justified, that intuitive geometry is not only challenging but also leads to a better understanding of problems in many other fields. With great consistency and extraordinary efforts Coxeter produced many books (at various levels of technical difficulty) as well as well over 200 papers reviewed in Mathematical Reviews (and many other works not listed there). A possibly even better measure of his involvement in explaining and promoting geometry is the fact that he authored close to 900 reviews in Mathematical Reviews ; this is surely a record.
King of Infinite Space is a biography of Coxeter as well as an account of his efforts to resist and counteract the Bourbakist tendencies and mindset. The book describes in detail both Coxeter's life and his interaction with people and institutions, mathematical, artistic and others. It is written in a lively and easy-to-read style, and provides documentation and references for all the claims. In pursuing the goal of presenting a complete account of Coxeter' life and influence, the author conducted interviews with an astonishingly large number of individuals, from Nobel prize winners to a resident of a psychiatric facility. All the facts are presented with great tact and sensibility.
The book is not intended to be a compendium of Coxeter's work. Instead, it is meant to convey a feeling for the obstacles Coxeter had to overcome, and the directions in which he advanced geometry and mathematics in general. The author is not a mathematician, but even so managed to convey the essentials of many of Coxeter's ideas.
Although its title seems rather strange, I can recommend the book in warmest terms to all those who wish to get detailed information about Coxeter's life, and an overall image of his achievements and influence. It is very unfortunate that whatever visibility accrued to intuitive geometry through Coxeter's life-long efforts appears to be disappearing in much of the academic world. As Siobhan Roberts puts it (page 363) in discussing Coxeter's disagreements with the University of Toronto during the last years of his life:
Another disappointment was the void left upon his retirement. The greatest living classical geometer, who had put the University of Toronto on the international mathematical map, was not replaced; there is now no classical geometer, not even a classically inclined geometer, on staff. Mathematical traditions usually do not reside in isolated individuals. Certainly, one of Coxeter's legacies is the community of his students who still come together in celebration of their work, and share his classical spirit with up and coming generations. And, quite conspicuously, Coxeter's students are the sort of mathematicians who take more pleasure in their work than most; they live and breathe and truly love the art. But for many, the decision taken by the University of Toronto, and other institutions internationally, not to invest in the future of classical geometry is alarming, if not tragic.
Branko Grünbaum is Professor Emeritus at the University of Washington. He lists his current interests as follows:

Turning out a tenant is an awkward part of being a landlord. It is a nasty ordeal which has to be dealt with politely yet with authority. However, many are still at a loss as to how to properly write an eviction letter that sums it all yet protects the landlord from any future judicial complaints from the tenant. Even yet, many are confused about what an eviction letter really is.
What is an eviction letter
An eviction letter is an official notice from the landlord to the tenant basically informing the the termination of his lease. The letter contains the particular date of the termination of the tenancy, the reasons for the eviction, the remedies that the tenant may undertake to remedy the eviction and the judicial action that the landlord may seek, should the tenant fail to vacate the premises on the date specified should the tenant fail to comply with the notice.
Know your rights and that of your tenant
Before you begin to write, you should first know the laws that govern eviction process in your specific state or country. The eviction laws vary from state to state in the United States and also for some categories of housing. Contact the US Department of Housing and Urban Development for the specific laws that apply to your case if you are uncertain about your situation.
State the reason(s) for the eviction
The letter should open with the information that the tenant has violated the terms and conditions of his lease. State the specific reason for his violation, i.e. delinquency of payments for a specific period and stating the amount of the delinquency and the due date and some other reasons which violate the tenancy agreement.
Inform the tenant of the remedies to undertake
If you want the tenant to remedy the situation to halt the eviction, you should list down the things he must undertake within the legal time-frame allowed for your state. The law usually allows 30 to 90 days within which to vacate the premises or settle the delinquency, depending on the reason for eviction. For major violations such as involving drugs and alcohol, some specific state laws should be adhered to. One should remember that receiving partial payment for delinquent accounts would impede the eviction process. Hence, to collect the remaining balance you have to let a month or so pass to be able to issue another eviction notice.
Indicate the specific date and legal action
If you wish to evict the tenant regardless of whether he settles his delinquencies or make amends for his misdemeanor, you should state the specific date you wish him to vacate the premises. You should also state what legal action you will take up should he fail to comply with the notice.
Be courteous but firm
You have to bear in mind that the eviction letter instigates the whole eviction process. Hence, while you may consider it as a nasty ordeal, you still have to maintain a polite tone in the way you phrase your words. However, you also need to refrain from sounding soft and indecisive. Your letter should be formal, concise and authoritative.
Format and style of the letter counts
The format of the letter is as important as the content of your eviction letter. Your letter should be in the customary formal business style writing. It should contain the complete name and address of the tenant, formal salutations, brief body of the letter and complete name and signature of the landlord at the end. Moreover, you should reiterate and summarize the objective of your letter in the last part of the notice.
Lastly, you should ensure that the tenant will receive your letter. Hence if the tenant is unable to personally receive the letter (you left it pinned to the door or under the door), you should send a second copy of the letter through certified mail. You should also make sure that you retain a copy of the letter since it will serve as proof in legal proceedings, should the matter necessitates the intervention of the court.

AmeriCorps Makes a Difference in Connecticut Communities
FOR A.M. RELEASE: Tuesday, January 5, 1999
HARTFORD, Jan. 5 A new study shows that teachers love them. Parents praise them. Kids want to grow up to be them. They are AmeriCorps members the more than 600 individuals of all ages dedicating more than 140,000 hours each year in classrooms and libraries, in shelters and soup kitchens, and in nurseries and nursing homes in Connecticuts most underserved communities.
The first comprehensive evaluation ever conducted of a state AmeriCorps program finds that "Connecticuts AmeriCorps experience is an overwhelmingly effective one." The seven programs reviewed this year by Urban Policy Strategies, a research and policy group in New Haven, operate in Bridgeport, Hartford, New Haven, New London, Meriden, Middletown and Waterbury.
The study was commissioned by the Connecticut Commission on National and Community Service which oversees the states AmeriCorps programs. The report contains compelling evidence that the states children benefit from the academic and social support provided by AmeriCorps. Further, the report shows a direct correlation between AmeriCorps crime prevention activities in Bridgeport and reduced crime rates of targeted neighborhoods. Finally, the study concludes that Connecticuts AmeriCorps programs operate cost-effectively, and that AmeriCorps members use their educational awards for academic advancement and are committed to continued community volunteerism.
Commenting on the report, State Representative William R. Dyson, chairman of the Commission, noted, "This study shows that AmeriCorps works. It proves that the dedicated attention of one caring person makes a huge difference in helping children succeed in school, and in revitalizing needy neighborhoods."
Dyson also was pleased at the reports finding that AmeriCorps in Connecticut is a cost effective way to provide a wide array of much-needed services to children and families living in some of the states poorest neighborhoods. With limited funds, and an average of two staff and between 20 to 40 AmeriCorps members at each program, the report finds that "literally thousands of children, families and individuals have been offered either directly or through a volunteer network programs in mentoring/tutoring, child care" and a variety of other services ranging from shelters to crime prevention.
The author of the report, Marta Elisa Moret, president of Urban Policy Strategies, notes that "The mentoring and tutoring programs for children across seven towns and cities in this state do keep children from losing ground educationally and developmentally. Of course we know that it takes much more than AmeriCorps to help our states poorest, most underserved children truly succeed in school, but there is no question that AmeriCorps is a valuable partner in the remedy to improve school outcomes for children."
In addition, the study reveals that AmeriCorps reduces violent crime in urban neighborhoods. Bridgeports Safe Neighborhoods AmeriCorps Partnership, run by the Police Department and the Regional Youth Substance Abuse Program, trains 20 AmeriCorps members to provide residents of high crime areas with smoke detectors, burglar alarms, peepholes for doors, window pins and other safety devices.
"When we examined recent crime statistics to see if any rapes, assaults, burglaries or robberies occurred in the more than 1,500 homes and apartments where Safe Neighborhoods had installed crime prevention devices, we found only one incidence an attempted burglary, " stated Moret. Bridgeport has experienced a more than 30 percent decrease in crime rates over the last five years that the Police Department attributes to a combination of community policy and programs such as Safe Neighborhoods.
Joyce Pratt directs the Bridgeport Safe Neighborhoods Partnership and can be reached at (203) 335-8835. The other six AmeriCorps programs evaluated by Moret, and their contacts, are:
AmeriCorps was established in 1993 by President Clinton and a bipartisan coalition of congressional leaders to engage Americans of all ages in intensive service. Working through a network of state commissions like the Connecticut Commission on National and Community Service and more than 1,000 local and national nonprofit organizations such as United Way and Youthbuild, AmeriCorps members:
In return for their year of service, AmeriCorps members receive an education award of $4,725 to help pay for college or to pay back student loans.
For more information, contact Jacqueline Johnson, Executive Director of the Connecticut Commission on National and Community Service (860/947-1827) or Marta Elisa Moret, president of Urban Policy Strategies (203/562-2307).

News Release
State Board of Education Member Jane Goff chosen as president-elect of national association
Jane Goff, a member of the Colorado State Board of Education, was voted president-elect of the National Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE). Goff will begin her term of office as president-elect in January 2013 and then serve as president of the association in 2014.
"Jane Goff's experience on the Colorado state board and NASBE board of directors provide her with an understanding not only of the education issues policymakers face nationwide, but of how our organization can best serve its members," said NASBE Executive Director Jim Kohlmoos. "States are now the leaders in education innovation, but there is also considerable uncertainty surrounding many facets of this change. Jane and the rest of the board of directors can provide the support and experience needed to help move us forward through these critical years."
Goff, of Arvada, was elected to the Colorado State Board in 2008 following a 34-year career as a classroom French and Spanish teacher and director of Jefferson County Public Schools' World Languages and International Student Exchange programs. She also served two years as president of the Jefferson County Education Association and six years as vice-president of the Colorado Education Association. Following her retirement in 2006, Jane worked as a legislative aide for the Colorado House of Representatives.
In her role as a State Board member, Jane currently serves on the State Advisory Committee for Gifted and Talented and the selection committees for Colorado's Teacher of the Year and the Milken Family Foundation Teaching Award. She also serves on the Aurora Public Schools P-20 Campus Advisory Council, the Adams County Education Consortium and the Jeffco Schools Strategic Planning Advisory Council.
In 2010, Jane received the Colorado Congress of Foreign Language Teachers Friend of Foreign Languages Award and was selected for the 3rd annual U.S. Educators Tour of Japan, sponsored by the Japan Foundation of the United States.
In 2011, Jane was appointed as the State Board's designee on Governor John Hickenlooper's Education Leadership Council.

In February, French billionaire Martin Bouygues Bouygues said his eponymous conglomerate was still "comfortable" with its 29% stake in Alstom Alstom SA, despite having just booked a $1.9 billion write-down on the train and power equipment maker due to a 37% drop in its shares over the past year.
That may just have been tough talk. Bloomberg Bloomberg is reporting that General Electric General Electric is in talks to buy Alstom for more than $13 billion, with an agreement possible as early as next week.
Alstom's transport division has been winning record orders — it's the maker of France's famed high-speed TGV trains — but the economic slowdown in Europe and emerging markets has sapped the company's larger power equipment business, leading it to lower its profit forecast in January, its second reduction in nine months. Moody's slashed its rating on Alstom's debt last year to one level above junk. In November, CEO Patrick Kron said the company intended to sell a stake in its train unit to raise cash.
Bouygues bought the French government's 21% stake in Alstom in 2006, making it the company's largest shareholder, in a bet that rising prosperity in emerging markets would boost Alstom's order books. However, the company's power unit has struggled to compete with GE and Siemens in Asia and Latin America, while the weak economy in Europe has hurt electricity demand, leading utilities to reduce equipment purchases.
Meanwhile, GE is the picture of health, with profit in its industrial segment rising 12% in the first quarter. Acquiring Alstom would fit with CEO Jeffrey Immelt's strategy to focus more tightly on heavy industry; the company has set a goal of deriving 70% of its earnings from industrial businesses.

Everyone liked Nick Colleluori, a charismatic young man. His upbeat outlook on life never wavered, not even when he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in September 2005 or over the next 14 months as he unsuccessfully battled this aggressive type of blood cancer. "I had always been proud of Nick," said his mom, Cheryl, "but never more so than seeing how he dealt with the disease."
Nick's infectious smile and attitude helped his family and friends during this difficult time. "He didn't like to see others unhappy on his account," said Stephen Schuster, MD, Nick's onocologist. But he also wanted to reach out to other patients. So, despite his deteriorating health, Nick started the HEADstrong Foundation to help others in his position. Days before he died, Nick made his family promise to continue with it. Nearly five years later, they have more than kept their promise... Read More

You've got to hand it to her -- Kim Kardashian -- always rocks a good bag! She slings into a range of styles, colors and textures. Dig in!
Yes! Everything about page 5! I love the bag on page 7, and it's funny how different she looked back then, and how she dressed. And I love the whole ensemble on page 10. I hate page 12 though, that bag is ugly.

Some 240,000 people are employed in humanitarian work around the world today. The agencies they work for spend close to $15 billion/year and they are present, on the ground in all of the political, economic and environmental crisis events we are familiar with. This field of study seeks to equip students with an understanding of both how these crisis environments evolve, how communities caught up in them survive and what role the international aid system plays in that survival. Students will take away from the field an understanding of the natural of humanitarian crises and a critique of the humanitarian aid system.

Project Description
The Swarm of Tiny Autonomous Robots (STAR) platform is a complete system for the development, testing and demonstration of swarm algorithms. Each robot within the system is capable of communicating with the other robots in order to perform complex tasks using simple instructions. The goal is to create a networked system that operates without a central controlling node.
Key features of swarm intelligence include flexibility, robustness, decentralization, and self-organization . In order to demonstrate these features, each robot is capable of limited range-finding and neighbor identification via modulated infrared in all directions, radio communication over a 2.4 GHz network, and motion on a flat field using independent bilateral motors. An 8-bit microcontroller is used for real time processing of sensor data and rule based decision making. These rules connect various low-level algorithms for handling sensors and communication, and provide a high-level structure to easily develop and modify the behavior of the individual robots.

SK graft
FOR LACK of transparency in her financial dealings and for flaunting her wealth, SK national president Jane Censoria Cajes is facing graft charges before the Office of the Ombudsman-Visayas in Cebu City.
The complainant, Junior Graftwatch Cebu Unit filed the complaint against Cajes last April 23.
Jane Censoria Cajes is the daughter of Rev. Fr. Roberto "Ondoy" Cajes of the 2nd district of Bohol and Trinidad Mayor Judith del Rosario Lao.
In their charge sheet, the complainant claimed that in 2008 during the 2008 SK national congress, Cajes received 10 million pesos from President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
Up to the present, the complainant said, Jane Censoria Cajes has failed to account to the SK national executive board the money she received from the president.
Moreover, the respondent allegedly overpriced the registration fee of the SK national congress in Cebu and in Subic.
In the 2008 SK national congress at Waterfront Lahug in Cebu City, the registration fee was a whopping P8,500 per participant. The following year in 2009, the registration fee for the SK national congress in Subic was also a whopping P9,500 per participant.
In the history of the SK, the registration fees for the 2008 and 2009 SK national congress were the highest so far, the Junior Graftwacht said.
The Junior Graftwatch said that the DBM only allows a maximum of 1,200 registration fee for conferences and congresses.
And in a span of 2 years as SK national president, Jane Censoria Cajes bought 2 luxury sports utility vehicles (SUV) – a Nissan Patrol and an Isuzu Alterra.
The existence of the Nissan Patrol was discovered, the Junior Graftwatch said, when her father Rev. Fr. Ondoy Cajes met an accident on December 30, 2010 in barangay Oy, Loboc and the vehicle was heavily damaged.
Police records said the Nissan Patrol was registered in the name of Jane Censoria Cajes.
The complainant also claimed that Cajes uses the Isuzu Alterra in Manila.
Meanwhile, SK National Federation consultant Manuel Ferdinand de Erio said they have "yet to confirm" the veracity of the complaint, said to be circulated by an anonymous individual and called the complaint "technically faulty."
"It does not have signatures and it is not duly notarized, hence the true identity of the alleged complainant is yet to be identified," de Erio said.
On transparency, de Erio said that a Financial Statement Report was presented during the Sangguniang Kabataan National Executive Board meeting last March 26-27, 2010 at Bayview Hotel, Manila.
Citing DILG Memorndum circulars, de Erio said that the collection of registration fee is allowed under the law, hence there's no overpayment of registration fees.
"Compared to other leagues, the SK has a justifiable registration considering the content and venue of their activities," he said.
De Erio also said Cajes does not own the Isuzu Alterra but admitted that she has in her name the Nissan Patrol, by which she is already the 4th owner.
She paid it monthly from her salary, de Erio said.
On the issue of lavish lifestyle, de Erio said Cajes is earning; she receives a justifiable monthly salary, which she spends for her studies and her own personal expenses.
He also said there is no truth that Cajes spend thousands of pesos at Vicky Belo medical clinic because she only goes there for Facial, to treat pimple breakouts due to oily skin and stress from work and school.
But de Erio admits she received expensive gifts and they are from her suitors and from her ex-boyfriend who is a businessman and a son of an Ilocos Sur politician.
In addition, de Erio said she does not think there is something wrong in that aspect because she is single. (with reports from Ric Obedencio)

Click Here to Watch the Whole Video in HD at All American Heroes
All-AmericanHeroes features amateur straight guys out of uniform. These straight men are REAL current or former cops, marines, firemen, lifeguards, military police.
Private Devan is back from recent tour of duty in the middle east. He says that spending a lot of time in the field has brought him pride and strong camaraderie with his fellow soldiers. After a good chat about his military service this smooth and sexy marine shows us what true grit really means. He starts out by massaging the weapon in his jeans ever so slowly. Before long he's locked and loaded and ready for action. He pulls out the stiff cock and massages while the pleasure plays across his face. The heat in the room is no match for the desert temperatures he's used, but he still finds the need to strip everything off. Nows he's fully naked and standing at attention. After a good while he spreads his legs and shows us his low hanging and bulging balls. He continues to stroke and coax his extra long shaft and finally he gives new meaning to the words shock and awe. He explodes a thick creamy load that sticks to his hairless stomach and giant cock head.

Gossip Girl
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Pissing Off Their New Neighbors — Report
Guess Blake Lively and boyfriend Ryan Reynolds won't be getting any "Welcome to the Neighborhood" pies anytime soon. The hot Hollywood couple, who reportedly bought a new home in Bedford, NY, are making fast enemies with their "over the top" demands for confidentiality regarding their new place of residence, a source tells the New York Post.
There are also claims that, as Ryan was leaving a restaurant, the abtastic actor with a good-guy reputation uncharacteristically snapped at another couple leaving at the same time — reportedly going so far as to asking the strangers if they were "following" him.
Now we totally get being cautious, especially if you're a celebrity — and especially if you're a celebrity who's been stalked, like Blake Lively has. But, this report borders on paranoia, right? One minute you're snapping at locals, the next, you're that creepy couple having fights in the yard in your too-short robes, refusing to give out candy to kids on Halloween. C'mon, guys, don't be that creepy couple!

It was a cake fit for royalty—and reality show stars?
Kim Kardashian wants to make sure her upcoming wedding to Kris Humphries is so over the top, she's copying pieces of Kate Middleton and Prince William's royal wedding.
When Kim and Kris cut their cake on August 20th (don't worry if you didn't get an invite, there's a two hour wedding
movie special planned), it may look very familiar. It's because Kim reportedly ordered a duplicate of Duchess Kate Middleton's royal wedding cake.
Says a source close to the reality starlet, 30, tells Us Weekly: "Kim wants it to resemble Prince William and Duchess Kate's!"
And it's probably similar to price too. It'll reportedly cost $15,000-20,000. That's how much most people's cars cost these days. With cool upgrades.
Kate and William had a traditional multi-tiered fruitcake with cream and white piping designed by prestigious British baker Fiona Cairns. Kim's will be a 10-tier white cake with chocolate-chip icing and black-and-white decorations. They may be different on the inside, but they'll be almost identical on the outside.
Are you looking forward to seeing Kim and Kris' wedding televised? Or is it too over the top, even for a Kardashian?

Printing and painting both inspire me. I paint with egg tempera on rice paper and wood, as well as tempera on canvas and clay tiles using the same techniques used in ancient Rajput and Moghul miniatures. I like to create my own wood block print designs on silk.
