For those looking to build brand awareness, social networking site Facebook offers users the opportunity to create connection around a particular program, department or college.
Naming Facebook sites should center around searchability, as Google's search engine is designed to pull up sites based on key word relevance.
Facebook acceptable naming conventions include:
When using these conventions, they should be followed with more specific information about the area.
For example:
It is also suggested that each site create a specific URL for the page to encourage searchability. Each name should include Arkansas Tech or ATU and then specific entity information. No dashes, underscores, numbers or periods should be used. This action is permanent, so please contact the Office of University Relations with any questions before creating the URL.
For example:
Because Arkansas Tech remains the owner of the Arkansas Tech brand, it is crucial that university officials are able to easily access a site should the need to do so arise. Readily available access serves as a way to protect the brand.
Therefore, all university Facebook sites should add the user "ArkansasTech NewMedia" as a administrator to their Facebook pages. This administrator should be assigned a manager role.

Jr. Blades set sights on national championship
ESTERO - The Empire Division championship trophy was in good hands as it traveled from New Jersey to Fort Myers.
Shortly after he made 44 saves in the finale, Florida Jr. Blades goalie Eric Sugrue made sure the trophy had a comfortable trip to its new home.
"Eric carried it on the plane. There was an empty seat, so he buckled it in next to him," said Jr. Blades coach Todd Pococke, whose team, comprised of 17 to 21 year olds, validated its remarkable regular season by capturing the United States Premier Hockey League's Empire Division playoffs in Wayne, N.J. on March 16.
By winning the championship, the Jr. Blades, based at Germain Arena in Estero, earned a shot to play for a national title. The Jr. Blades will compete in USA Hockey's Junior Tier III National Championship April 3-7 at the International Skating Center of Connecticut in Simsbury, Conn.
Slated to depart Fort Myers today, the Jr. Blades' first game in the 12-team tournament will be Thursday at 1 p.m. against the Flint (Mich.) Junior Generals, champions of the North American 3 Hockey League.
The remainder of the pool play for the Jr. Blades in the Blue Division includes games against the Boston Bandits from the Metropolitan Junior Hockey League on Friday and the Wisconsin Dells Ducks from the Minnesota Junior Hockey League on Saturday. Semifinals will be held Sunday afternoon followed by the championship game on Monday evening.
Being crowned Empire playoff champions — something that had painfully eluded the club the past two seasons after terrific regular seasons — was a goal for the Jr. Blades, but not the only one. There's still work left to be done.
"We told them to enjoy the championship for a few days, but our season is still going. We have to be prepared. We have another goal of ours to meet," said Pococke, whose team compiled a jaw-dropping 37-1-0-2 record during the regular season in the 16-team Empire Division.
Thanks in part to Sugrue's outstanding performance in the division playoffs, the Jr. Blades continued their memorable season as they posted wins against the Springfield (Mass.) Pics, Adirondack (N.Y.) Jr. Wings and Jersey Hitmen before routing the South Shore (Mass.) Kings, 8-1, in the semifinals to reach the championship game against another Massachusetts team, the Jr. Bruins.
In his final year of junior hockey, Sugrue, the team's oldest player, showed why he was named the Empire's Goaltender of the Year. Sugrue, a Naples resident, finished the division playoffs in style with a 5-0 record, 1.20 goals against average and one shutout.
"Eric stood on his head," Pococke said. "He was fun to watch. He brought it every game."
With six games in four days, conditioning and depth played key roles.
"The good thing about this year is we weren't just relying on two or three guys to step it up," Pococke said. "We had all four lines basically running through most of the tournament. The whole team contributed."
Killian Gray, a forward from Daytona Beach, led the forwards with a team-high six goals and 10 points.
"Killian had a phenomenal tournament. He got the guys going right away," Pococke said.
After suffering a 2-0 loss to the Philadelphia Revolution in the second game, the Jr. Blades faced a must-win situation against Adirondack. Gray emerged as Mr. Clutch by scoring both goals — including the winner late in the third period — in a 2-1 win that featured another 44 saves from Sugrue.
Austin Hefferin, a forward from Maryland, led the Jr. Blades in assists with six. Adam Fowler from Naples notched two goals and two assists.
Fort Myers' Jake Leonard quarterbacked the team's defensemen with six points (two goals, three assists) in the six games. Other production from the blue line came from Michael Haskins (four assists) and Matt Salera (two goals, one assist and a team-high 11 penalty minutes), both from Estero.
Chaise Howard, the team's second leading scorer with three goals and five assists, led the charge in the title game. The 6-2, 190-pound Estero High senior scored two goals and added an assist in a 5-2 win against the Jr. Bruins.
"He had a phenomenal game," Pococke said. "He's been through everything with this program. He really did step it up. Both of his goals were absolutely huge."
After the Jr. Bruins knotted the game at 2-2 in the second, Howard immediately responded with a goal on the next shift to regain the lead for the Jr. Blades. He tacked on an insurance tally early in the third to make it 4-2.
"That goal deflated the Jr. Bruins," said Pococke, whose team erupted in celebration on the ice after the final seconds ticked off as he and assistant coach Tyler Carlston watched from the bench. Pococke said the ice was littered with sticks and gloves as the Jr. Blades stamped an exclamation point on their Empire season.
"Many times I've watched the replay video of the celebration. I'm very proud of the boys," he said.


text: Airline Review: Vueling Sebastian Canaves Sep 29, 2012 Airline, Review 5 Comments Quick, Easy and Friendly but… my knees hurt! Flying with Vueling was a surprising pleasure if taking into consideration that it is a LCC (Low Cost Carrier) and it's in the same league as some Irish or English competitors. Besides that booking the flight was pretty easy and quick I was very surprised by the friendliness of the staff. On-ground staff was very polite and the flight attendants where busy talking to each other but always attentive if you needed something from them. Reasonably cheap drinks and food on board You probably can book the food and drinks before hand when buying your ticket online but even if you don't prices on board are pretty reasonable taking into consideration that the on board sale for many LCC is another big and important revenue stream. You can get a Spanish "bocadillo" for already €5,50 or a Muffin for €2,00. You choose which music you'd like to hear! A great thing by vueling is that YOU as a Facebook Fan choose which music you'd like to hear on-board. Vueling had a competition on their Facebook Page where their fans could vote for their favorite tracks. These include songs of Wilco, Bon Iver, Radiohead, Josh Rouse, Regina Pektor and many more. Unfortunately, the entertainment system didn't work on our flight or maybe it was only my seat! The flight was… good! The Flight was, as anywhere else, pretty smooth and fast. We flew from Berlin Tegel to Barcelona in about two hours. If you are tall, you might have a little problem. I'm 1,87 meters tall and my knees were hurting a little after the flight. The space between the seats must be strictly according to the international laws for leg space cause I think this was the tightest I ever sat in a flight. But this is only a personal problem, my friends and fellow travel bloggers Angelika from Ich weiss wo and Nina from Smaracuja didn't have the problem. All in All… I'll book again! The reason I'm most surprised about Vueling is probably because it's the daughter company of Iberia where I haven't had a very pleasant experience with and until today I'm still waiting for a response… but that is something else! Vueling surprised with its professionalism and customer service and I'm sure that I'll fly with them again when I need to get back to Spain. Did you fly with Vueling before? What do you think of this airline? We look forward to your opinion in the comments section below! Disclaimer: I was invited to fly with Vueling.

We managed to negotiate one exit row seat for my tall companion, but that left me squished in to one of the normal seats.) I, too, was pleasantly surprised about the good selection and prices of food onboard. Many of the big airlines charge you waaaay too much for waaaay to little, and it was nice to see a contrast. We booked last minute (4 hours before the flight) and still got a great price ($150, I believe)…I would definitely fly with them again! Reply sebastian September 29th, 2012 That's a pretty good price for 4 hours before the flight… normally the prices are incredibly high on last minute flights! Reply Núria November 18th, 2012 Hi! I'm from Barcelona and also like Vueling. I'm blind and I often fly with them, they are very kind with me and my guide dog Bella, and we have always an open seat for her to be more confortable during the flight. Reply Kim Merritt June 5th, 2013 I flew Vueling twice this spring and was pleased with it as a low cost carrier. Sure it felt tiny, they were super strict on their carry-on size/weight policy, and I felt super old compared to all of the rowdy kids on the flight, but none of those had a negative impact on my actual flight. It was cheap enough, the staff were friendly and joking around with customers, and the cheesy snack pack I bought onboard was inexpensive and pretty good! They sure as hell beat any of these low cost carriers in the US! Reply Frequent flyer July 16th, 2013 I just flew with Vueling a few hours ago – my first (and maybe last) flight with them. While I thought they generally provided a good service, I HATED the fact that the music went on and on for so long, during take off and landing, for about 15-20 minutes each time. I want to relax on a plane, leave my mind free, not have muzak I don't want to hear pumped into my brain during the flight. I really hope this doesn't become a trend on other airlines as well (thankfully, no other airline I've experienced, and I've experienced a few, forces the piped muzak onto you for so long). It's intrusive and doesn't make everyone feel "relaxed", or whatever the "purpose" is – quite the opposite. Reply Leave a Reply Cancel reply

The editors welcome suggestions concerning content but can make no assurances regarding the use of suggested or provided material. Although no single issue of the magazine can fully reflect the diversity of the College and its
community, the editors will make every effort to represent, over the course of time, the great diversity of interest, opinion and background inherent in the magazine's readership.
Statements and opinions expressed in the magazine are those of the bylined contributors or of the editorial staff, and do not necessarily represent the official position of the College.
In covering controversial topics, the magazine will make every effort to provide balanced coverage and a representative mix of opinions, although its starting point will be a respect for the institution and its values. Since, despite all disclaimers, the magazine may be interpreted in courts of law as an official voice of the institution, when an article deals with a topic that is the subject of real, pending or probable litigation involving the College, the editors will consult with legal counsel before proceeding with publication. In such cases, the article will be published only if legal concerns can be met without damaging the journalistic integrity of the article in question.
All articles are subject to editing by the PCM staff. As a courtesy, programs and people prominently featured in an article are usually given the opportunity to preview portions of the story that concern them in order to check the accuracy of quotes and facts. The final decision on changes to the article belongs, however, to the editors.
Words that are generally agreed to be obscene should not be included gratuitously in PCM articles, letters or notes, and will be edited out if their omission does not damage the integrity of the text. Such words will be published only when they are an integral part of a quotation, title or other cited passage that adds essential meaning or context to an article. It is not the policy of PCM to replace characters with asterisks or to otherwise disguise objectionable words.
Photographs that purport to depict an actual event should not be manipulated in any way other than cropping and correction for color, sharpness, brightness and contrast. Photographs used as illustrations of features are subject to greater manipulation, but should be labeled "Photo illustration" if they involve substantial alterations to the image that may not be obvious to the reader.
Departmental Guidelines
Departments of the magazine are established in order to package
recurring types of information, such as letters and alumni travel
opportunities, or smaller stories about areas of special interest,
such as sports, college history and development. Some departments --
such as Pomona Today, Bookshelf, Class Acts and Class Notes -- will
appear in every issue. Others -- such as Expert Advice and View Point
-- may appear intermittently, on the basis of the availability of
space and of the relative newsworthiness of available stories.
The purpose of the letters column is to provide a forum for members
of the extended College community --
primarily alumni, parents, students, faculty, staff, donors and friends with a strong connection to the
College -- who wish to engage in free and civil discourse on issues relating to the magazine and the College.
It is not a forum for lobbying on unrelated issues, self-promotion or personal attacks. PCM endeavors to print all letters to the editor from correspondents with a clear tie to the
institution involving meaningful responses to previous issues of the magazine or thoughts about
issues of importance to the College. When space does not permit the publication of all letters,
the editors will choose which letters to publish based upon inherent interest to the readership and
representation of diverse opinions. The magazine will not publish anonymous letters or letters that,
in the opinion of the editor, are defamatory, level serious allegations against identifiable individuals
or groups, or purport to speak for others who are not a party to the correspondence.
The magazine also will not publish letters dealing with the particulars
of a disciplinary action or hearing or the circumstances leading up to
it. When a letter raises
significant questions about a previously published article or about some aspect of the institution, an
appropriate respondent may be invited to reply in the same issue. When a topic inspires an exchange of
opinions, the editors may cut off debate after a reasonable period of time, usually no more than three
issues after the publication of the article or letter from which the debate originated. With rare
exceptions, letters should be no more than 400 words in length. All letters received by the magazine
are subject to being edited for brevity and clarity.
Class Notes
To be included in Class Notes, information about alumni activities should be submitted to
firstname.lastname@example.com. With rare exceptions, information more than two years old will not be included. Selection of notes is at the discretion of the Class Notes editor, based upon such factors as perceived interest to classmates and frequency of previous submissions. All notes selected for inclusion are rewritten in Class Notes style and are subject to editing for length, style and clarity. Final decisions concerning the Class Notes belong to the PCM editors.
To be included in Scrapbook, photos should be submitted to
email@example.com with
sufficient information for a caption. PCM endeavors to print as many
alumni photos as space permits. Photos are selected for inclusion
based upon photographic quality and intrinsic interest to our
readers. Photos submitted electronically must be at least 1000 pixels
by 600 pixels. Final selection of photos for this department is at
the discretion of the PCM editors.
Death Notices
PCM publishes full death notices of current and former trustees and faculty, active staff members and alumni
of extraordinary significance to the College. The length of full death notices is normally limited to no more than 750 words. The magazine does not print survivor lists and usually does not print cause of death. Death notices of all other alumni are edited for length at the discretion of the Class Notes editor, generally no more than 150 words. The magazine will not publish a death notice without confirmation of the death from a family member or official source.
PCM accepts and publishes no advertisements.
Through fact-checking and proofing, the editorial staff of PCM endeavors to avoid publishing erroneous information. However, when an error in PCM is discovered, the editor will decide whether it is of sufficient importance
as to require a published correction.

From Graffiti to Oxite
So I've moved off of Graffiti CMS and migrated my blog posts (via BlogML) to Oxite -- Microsoft's open source blogging platform.
As much as I wanted to love Graffiti, I wasn't a huge fan of VistaDB; I've even heard rumors that the product's been dropped by Telligent earlier this year. But mainly as a developer, what I really wanted was full control -- so switching to Oxite seemed like a natural progression.. and it's packed with lots of goodies -- including MVC, Unity and AntiXSS.
It wouldn't be a good product without all the problems, so getting started was a bit challenging. Right off the bat, there were 404 errors all over the place -- and found out that the application requires a special URL prefix in order for it to work in IIS6.
Shortly thereafter I started witnessing permission issues when referencing one of the third party assembly. But no big deal, downloaded the source, marked that assembly.info file with the AllowPartiallyTrustedCallersAttribute and I was up and running.
Since I'm on this new platform, will this mean more posts in the future? I'm not so sure, but I'll certainly have a reason to play with the MVC framework now:) I am rather disappointed that images cannot be posted through the metaweblog API at the moment, looks like I'll have to manually move them over (like I did for this post).
Non oxite users that are having issues with II6 and MVC should read this blog post.

"It's a great feature to have matching address labels to our perfectly designed holiday cards. It makes sending out our cards so much easier during such a hectic Christmas season."
"I also got the matching holiday card. This is a lovely, simple design. I used the red background. No surprises, turned out exactly how it looked when I personalized it. Lovely label!"
"My address labels turned out so nice. They look so put together on my new tinyprints thank you note cards the elf design. Thank you."
"The Christmas cards were easy to order and personalize. Unfortunately, the color on screen looks like a teal color and when they arrived they were definitely green. Still an amazing product at a decent price. Shipping was amazingly fast."
"I absolutely love these address labels. Because I have a different last name from my husband and daughters, I like that I was able to personalize this using our first names. Can't wait to use these!"

FOLLY BEACH Police have arrested a man accused of peering into a rented beach house with 19 women inside.
Folly Beach officers nabbed 34-year-old Charleston resident Brock McGrew on charges of voyeurism and public drunkenness. One woman told officers that McGrew came to their rental home on West Cooper Avenue five times and looked in the windows.
McGrew first came over around midnight on July 12, the women told officers. He knocked on the door and asked for one of the women, according to an arrest report.
The renters let McGrew in, thinking the other woman knew him, but they kicked him out when they learned otherwise, the report said. He showed up again the next day, according to an arrest report, and the women told him to leave and called police.
McGrew returned the same afternoon, and the women again called police, the report said. McGrew came to the house five times between July 12 and Sunday, according to the report.
The women reported seeing McGrew looking through the screened-in porch and front window on his final visit. While a Folly officer took a report, a Charleston County sheriffs deputy spotted McGrew walking out from behind a nearby home, and the women identified him as the suspect.
The Folly officer wrote that McGrew seemed grossly intoxicated and had trouble walking and speaking. He told the officer that he couldnt remember where his car was parked and that he was looking for it, the report said. The officer arrested McGrew.
State records show a history of violence, drinking problems and Peeping Tom behavior. Charleston County sheriffs deputies arrested McGrew on that same charge in 2001, according to the State Law Enforcement Division. He paid a fine.
Mount Pleasant police arrested him on charges of assault with intent to kill in 1999, resisting arrest with a deadly weapon, hit and run and drug possession, state records show. He received a six-year sentence on those charges.
His criminal record also reflects DUI charges in 2001, 2005 and 2008. Folly Beach police arrested him a year ago on a criminal-domestic violence charge, according to state records, and Charleston County sheriffs deputies arrested him in 2010 on the same charge.
McGrew was released from the Charleston County jail on his most recent charges Tuesday on $10,262 bail.

Now many health care workers have been killed, others have left the country and those that remain are overwhelmed not only with delivering care, but also with putting their own lives back together and dealing with friends and family who lost everything in the quake. So what happens? Predictably, the international NGOs roll in and force the closure of part of the established infrastructure. Why?

Um, well I have started a new project which really is just a scarf but working with a different textured yarn which is the new part. I also just bought more needles, a pattern and yarn for another project and i have some other yarn for another project that I am thinking about. Starting to get piles of knitting things. Is this a disease I have caught??
I have to join the ranks of having enough stash to open my own yarn shoppe at home. In fact much of it is not visible because if someone saw all that I have I would have to kill them to keep the secret. Vases help to store straight needles and double points. Circulars end up everywhere and I often find one when I vacuum. Depending on the project depends on which kind I use, although I do favor bamboo and love casein dp for sock knitting. And a few good addi turbo's are always important to have on hand.
I too am a yarn snob. And I have the benefit of having a friend(s) who spins and dyes yarns so I get some great stuff to work with. And then I have the favorites that I crave obsessively: Koigu, Lorna's Laces sock yarn (and just purchased some of her worsted in the mineshaft colorway for a sweater); cottagecraftwoolens which makes great no nonsense wool at very affordable prices. I have all sorts of things I like to mix Rowan Kid Silk Haze with. I have a circular nylon hamper filled completely with sock yarn - it will last me until I am 82. Use various baskets, luggage, bowls for yarn. Keep a picture of Magda, Zsa Zsa and Eva over a bowl of Anne yarn. It is my idea of fine jewelry and I think the ladies would appreciate it.
So Billbear, welcome to the world of stash and obesssion and passion in the knitting. You are in good company.
I've just spent the morning in Liberty's in London. A fantastic store (Check their web site out) with a superb craft department. The wools are superb if expensive. They stock Jaeger and Rowan wools. I always come away with more stuff than I can manage to get through in the short term but having several projects pending is a great driver to get stuff finished. I seem to have a vast quantity of needles as a result as I tend to change needle lengths quite a bit within the same piece of knitting. I keep these in a mechanic's-type tool box - looks like I'm heavily into DIY until I open it!
I've only been knitting for 2 years and am still building my needle collection. I started with straight bamboos, moved to circular bamboos and am now only buying metal Turbos. I struggled with circular bamboos on 2 recent cotton baby sweaters and swore to high heaven that I would not use circular bamboos any more unless the pattern calls for a size needle that I only have in bamboo (I'm on a budget).
As for yarn, well yah, I'm a bit of a snob. One of my early projects that I started more than a year ago was a throw made from acrylic yarn I bought a Michael's Crafts. My mother convinced me to buy acrylic because it would be washable and practical for a throw. I finished several squares and then stopped because I couldn't stand the feel of the fabric. Some day I'll finish it though because I don't want it to be wasted. I'll probably wind up donating the finished piece.
I recently bought some yarn from www.knitpicks.com. The quality was nice enough and at a good price. I also try to stay with the more reasonable brands like Brown Sheep and Cascade. I do covet cashmere but I can't justify $45+ a ball. I've seriously considered raising a few Angora Rabbits and learning to spin on a drop spindle to save money. But I think my partner David will divorce me if I added spinning to my craft list, plus, as you all know, we don't knit to save money.
Truthfully I have recently noticed a difference and now know not all yarns are worthy of my time. I bought some stuff on sale that seemed to be real nice until I started working with it. Ugh. It is a two ply yarn that is not spun together well at all and separates while working with it. It also is not very strong and can be easily pulled apart. I have spun my own yarn recently and can pull quite hard and it will not tear like the other stuff. I now will take the time to examine the yarn better as well as probably end up paying for better yarn. I love just walking around the yarn store feeling things!
As far as needles go I pretty much just have Clover brand bamboos which I like well enough. I have thought about trying the metal ones but I dont think that you can take those on planes like you can the wooden ones.

Made by the house of Burtin exclusively for Tesco, this classic Champagne combines Chardonnay from the Cote des Blancs, and Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier from the Marne region.
The result is beautifully balanced - and champagne is all about balance - with citrus fruit and a gentle, toasty character.
Serve chilled, as an aperitif.
A great way to start proceedings!

People got a chance to fly kites with the mayor on Sunday.
Mayor Tom Richards invited the public to come out and fly kites at Ontario Beach for the city's annual Kite Flight. Both amateur and expert kite flyers came out for this festive event.
There was just enough wind to get some of the kites in the air.
City recreation staff were on hand to provide free kite building workshops for kids. There was also jugglers and other entertainers.
