THE MANY BENEFITS OF THE NEW ARENA DEALBe Real: Charles Wang is not out to rip anyone off
The heat is on – two front-page stories in Newsday with profoundly negative quotes and positions in a three-day span (see the post below). So let's take a step back and review some of the positives of the deal between Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano and Islanders owner Charles Wang for a new Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
I'd like to, however, start off with an opinion – this being a blog and all. I do not think the deal is perfect. I do believe this process was rushed, starting with the embarrassing tweets of "Great News!" from Islanders media pals followed by the awkward pep rally/press conference at the Coliseum. Then again, Wang has owned the Islanders for more than eleven years. Then again, Bill Torrey said in this space that the first conversation about the future of the Coliseum property took place in the nineteen hundred and friggin' eighty-three. Hard to blame anyone involved for being in a rush.
As many of you may know, I worked in the Islanders organization for twenty years – the final eight for Wang. I was colleagues and am still friends with many of the people that have worked for Wang in putting together the Lighthouse Project and this deal. Most of all, I feel I have a pretty good handle on what makes Charles Wang tick and how he has become an overwhelmingly successful entrepreneur. In good times and challenging ones, I got a peak behind the curtain at how the man operates and how he treats people.
I believe the deal with Mangano will undergo some changes by the time this referendum/NIFA/Legislature supermajority process is completed – likely not for several months. I believe the deal, which I estimate to be 80% done (to Mike Picker's 99%), still has plenty enough in it to earn the YES vote from anyone who cares about the New York Islanders, Coliseum events, the development of the property and the future of Long Island.
But most of all, I don't believe for a second that Wang woke up a few months ago, called a meeting, rubbed his hands together and in the voice of a summer movie supervillain and said…
"What I really want to do is screw over as many people as I can. I want Nassau to be even poorer! I want to drain every resident of every penny I can get my hands on! If ten years from now, people are mocking me because I cut myself the deal of the century with Mangano, good! I want my legacy to be not about founding businesses, donating tens of millions of dollars to charity and saving the Islanders. I want to be known as the guy who ripped my fellow Long Islanders off, all so I could build an arena."
If you believe the undercurrent and sometimes blatant hate for this arena deal, what opponents are really saying is that Wang and his staff are out to screw over the county.
When you buy a professional sports team, your legacy is at stake. After all these years, do you really think Wang followed up his I'll-pay-for-everything Lighthouse Project with this deal without any concern for the future of Nassau and its residents?
It's unfortunate to even have to dignify the contempt, but it's there. So to be clear, I think Wang and his top advisors tried to come up with the best deal so the Islanders and Nassau County can thrive. It's not perfect, will probably be tweaked and – as I've been telling friends for years, the Islanders may not get their new arena until the trucks are packed up and the politicians finally get the gravity of the situation and come together to strike an 11th-hour deal.
Sad, but it could still very well come to that.
Some of the Benefits, as Far as I Can Tell
(Feel free to add in a BS ratio of 25% in either direction. The numbers still hold up well)
- Nassau will receive $14 million in guaranteed lease payments from the Islanders annually. The county would also receive $4.9 million annually in taxes.
- The Islanders will stay in Nassau until at least 2045.
- A new, state-of-the-art arena will guarantee the continuation of family, trade shows and concerts. And, if anything, the quality of performers booking the new NVMC should only improve.
- If the Coliseum was to be closed – and it would if the Islanders left as the primary tenant – the county would lose close to $104 million in annual earnings, along with approximately 2,600 jobs.
- The new Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum will create many new jobs. (I agree that 3,000 completely new jobs sounds a bit imaginative, but even if it's half that it's a noble cause).
- The construction of the new arena would add 1,500 construction jobs.
- The new arena would generate over $9 million in tax revenue in its first year of operation
Good stuff. The problem, of course, is that the project is getting an ass-kicking by NIFA, the democrats in the Nassau legislature, at least one key Republican and countless faceless opponents.
Wang and the Islanders, and nobody else – not Mangano, nor his overwhelmed and underwhelming staff – have two weeks to get their messages out clearly and in grand fashion. Two weeks.
Having the referendum on Aug. 1 remains a stroke of genius. Seeing what we see now from the opposition, can you imagine how badly this vote would be defeated if it was held on Election Day?
As it stands now, the deal has enough proponents, Islanders fanatics and union laborers behind it to win on Aug. 1. But Wang and the Islanders only truly win the referendum if they win it big. Whether they can is very much in question right now. Like their young roster in October, let's see what Islanders management is really made of right now.

A dozen historic towns and villages form the backbone of the Clare Valley.
Formerly called Gleeson's Village, Clare is the region's major business centre.
There are many "must visit" destinations in the Clare Valley. Sevenhill is home to the region's oldest wines and vines. For a unique winery experience, visit its church and walk through the crypt and hand-excavated cellars.
Trails link many Clare Valley towns. Five looped trails surround Riverton, where the 19 kilometre Rattler Trail begins. Riverton also has museums, thriving alpaca and olive product businesses.
Auburn is where the Rattler Trail ends and the Riesling Trail begins. The blend of heritage and contemporary includes premium wineries, superb dining and fine art.
The Heysen, Mawson and Kidman Trails also run through the region.
By the 1850s, Burra was Australia's premier copper mining town. Collect a Burra Passport Heritage Key to unlock the town's best stories. It's a complete guide to places like the underground Unicorn Brewery cellars and the Monster Mine area.
Drive to some unforgettable views above Stanley Flat and Blyth. Pockets of vines, farmland and native bush carpet rolling hills and vast plains. The vistas change with every season.
Take another scenic drive from Sevenhill to Mintaro. This atmospheric village has quaint historic buildings, boutique accommodation and sensational food and wine. Close to majestic Martindale Hall, Mintaro is an intimate snapshot of mid-nineteenth century life.
North-east of Mintaro, the former railhead of Farrell Flat also retains its 1870s charm.
Green's Cottage in Penwortham is one of the Clare Valley's oldest stone buildings. Pioneer, John Horrock, built it when he arrived as one of the first to explore South Australia.
In Eudunda, grab a pastry from the century old German bakery and admire the architecture of the town's Lutheran founders.
The Clare Valley, every town has a story.
Here are some great ideas for you to try while you're in the area.
There are plenty of events on in the Clare Valley. Here are some ideas you might like.

Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
I need help with this subject.Do I need a proGram
You need some sort of photo manipulation program.
Try Gimp or Photoshop CS5.
I have gimp 2.6 just dont know how to.
GIMP is what I use and I find it fairly easy, but manga colouring really makes time go fast, I sat for like 4 hours colouring something, then realised it was crap and deleted it
But all you do is get a scan of Naruto for example, then get the brush and start colouring it in with certain colours, its not hard.
Do you have any tuts?
I use photoshop just google some tutorials it helps.
Isnt it called lineart?
yup. just google some tuts. i use Photoshop cs6.

Van Gundy is the Logical Choice in Brooklyn
Tommy DeeMark Jackson, Doc Rivers and Kevin McHale. Three star players from the 80s and 90s. Three NBA lifers who have watched the game from different view points.
McHale is widely-regarded as the most polished, post big men in the game. When he tried to manage the Minnesota Timberwolves he struggled. Now he has a group that can play with pace and they do, and the result is one of the biggest early surprises in the Western Conference. He let's them loose.
Rivers has had the Celtics as a 50 plus win team since 07-08. He's one of the game's great coaches and he never served as an assistant coach. Ditto with Jackson, who has the Warriors full of action. They play fast and they play with an edge and that combination has tallied 19 wins in the ledger.
With the Nets showing Avery Johnson the door they've put themselves in an impossible spot. They have a strange roster, and it's something we've talked about all year. Deron Williams grew tired, obviously, of Johnson's antiquated late 90s San Antonio Spurs offense. Brook Lopez isn't Tim Duncan. They were slow, plodding and for Williams it had to drive him crazy that the offense was primed for his center and his shooting guard Joe Johnson. Look at the tempo that the Hawks played at during JJs tenure.
The Nets next coach has to up the tempo. He has to make Williams, a much more egregious coach killer than Carmelo Anthony, play faster. He must run pick and roll with a mix of post entry to get the most out of Brook Lopez and he has to hold players accountable for defensive lapses. But it all starts with the franchise guard.
Enter Jeff Van Gundy.
Van Gundy has been on the sideline monitoring and analyzing the game like the coaches mentioned above. He's been waiting to get back into coaching albeit in the right situation. People I trust told me he really wanted the Knicks job, so it's no surprise they are telling me he'd jump at the chance in Brooklyn. If I'm the Nets I'd make him prove how he can make Williams and Johnson click, and what you know about the former Knicks coach is that he's been taking notes. One may have thought he was lobbying for attention when he screamed for the league to punish Jason Kidd for what he deemed to be a leg kick against the Nets in Brooklyn on his game winner a few weeks back.
Either way the Nets need to get this one right, and they'd be silly not to seriously consider the man who once led the Knicks to the Finals in 1999.

Dr. Mary H. McGrath's Ratings
Dr. McGrath is both an artist and a technician, perfect combo for a plastic surgeon. She did a face/neck/eye lift on me and I am ecstatic about the results. She told me she could take 15 years off of my face and that's exactly what she did. AND she was significantly less expensive than all the other plastic surgeons I consulted for this work. Meticulous work, a no-nonsense manner, a talented plastic surgeon and I feel so lucky to have found her. I don't look "done" I look happy, pretty and well-rested. The 6 hour surgery left me uncomfortable (as she told me it would) but not in pain and within 4 or 5 days the bruises were not really even visible. Within 10 days they were gone and just some swelling around the jaw remained. Now, three weeks out, I look pretty darned fabulous, if I do say so. I traveled from So Cal to have Dr. McGrath do the work because I didn't want to look like I'd had plastic surgery ala Los Angeles and it was utterly the right choice. GO! get it done!

I was extremely impressed with both Mary McGrath and her staff. This was my first surgery and Dr. McGrath and the OR staff met me 30 minutes before the surgery. I've never heard of a surgeon and OR staff chatting it up with a patient for 30 minutes. My results are incredible, one of my close friends that the same surgery. Unfortunately he has permanent scaring and the shape doesn't fit his body, you can't even tell I had anything done. Thank you Dr. McGrath and Ann!

Two buildings have received LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification: The hospital building has received a "Certified" rating, and the John G. Rangos Sr. Research Center a "Silver" rating.
Children's commitment to employ green practices extends well beyond its bricks and mortar. This means Children's employs new operating policies and procedures regarding facility maintenance, housekeeping, food service, and waste management. Children's also fosters its green philosophy by working with our clinicians, academicians, and community to conduct research on the subject of sustainability and its health effects on children. Here's a brief look at how Children's is environmentally friendly:
- Easy access to public transportation
- Availability of bike racks and showers

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
I have to say that I never thought of it before one day in November 2008 when I was doing some research on the mining industry in old copies of the Sun Advocate, the News-Advocate and The Sun from the late 1920s and early 1930s.
I ran across a copy of a paper describing a basketball game between Jordan High and Carbon High and there it was; "In the end the Beetdiggers downed the Miners in a low scoring game."
Now having grown up in the Salt Lake valley I had a lot of friends who had been Beetdiggers in high school, and I also knew a number of Miners, but they were from Bingham High, named that obviously fit because of the Kennecott and Lark mine operations that had been and still do operate there.
But what was that mention of Miners in relation to Carbon High? Weren't they always the Dinos, having the distinction of being the only high school in America with the Dinosaur mascot attached to their institution?
But when I thought about it, it only made sense to me. This area with coal mining operations so extensive certainly deserved the term Miner for their mascot as much as anywhere.
So began a quest to find when the mascot of Carbon High left the realm of human being to that of an ancient lizard. I searched the papers up through the 1930s and found that the use of mascot names was not nearly as prevalent in the papers in those days as they are now. Today hardly an issue of the Sun Advocate goes by without mentioning the Dinos or Lady Dinos on the sports pages. But going through the old papers I could hardly find mention of the "new" mascot or even the old one. I just couldn't figure out which year it was changed. I even asked some of the people who are history buffs in the area and they didn't know.
Then I got smart and went to what was then the College of Eastern Utah and looked through the old Carbon yearbooks in the library special collections. They are missing a few from the pre-Depression and Depression years, but they have most of them. I looked and looked...1929, no luck...1930 no change...1932, no mention of even the Miners....1934, no change. Then I came to 1935 and it was hard to miss it.
The entire book was filled with Dinosaurs (not the people, the animal). There were drawings of various dinosaurs in swamps, with modern skyscrapers and with men putting petroglyphs on rocks. It was kind of a mixed up history, because at least 65 million years separate homo sapiens from the dinosaurs, but nonetheless there it was. The change took place during the 1934-35 school year, but the only place it is really mentioned in the book is in a preamble to the section on the football team where it stated that the "Carbon Miners became the Dinosaurs and under that name enjoyed a very unusual year in athletics."
At the beginning of the book there was also a tribute to miners; a kind of goodbye to the old mascot, but a tribute and realization of the people who made this area of the state thrive and prosper.
Why the name was changed, I have yet to find out. But my feeling is that there were so many teams with the Miner name in the state (Bingham, Park City, Tintic and, of course, Carbon) at the time, the community wanted a more unique mascot.
And it was also about this time when the discovery of dinosaur fossils in the area really hit the national news.
Since then the Dinosaurs (when it was shortened to Dinos is anyone's guess) have gone on into sports history with some fantastic teams and graduates who have had success in the world.
And now they have the most unique mascot as voted on by thousands of people in the state.
They have a lot to be proud of, those Miners and Dinos.

Customer Reviews for Kitchen Cordless Solid Textured Solids Semi-Opaque Pleated Window Shades
"Looks good"
By GoBlinds from Oswego NY
My shades are the right color and were easy to install. I have gotten compliments and I feel they were reasonably priced, I bought one for a large window and one for an average size window and both work well.View this product
"No Holes Pleated Shade"
By WindowFreak from New Hampshire
The shade came in a good range of natural colors. The material was textured in a linen pattern and the rails were neutral. The item was lightweight and the hanging was easier than any other shade I have purchased from this company. The only feature of the shade that should be noted before purchase - it curls slightly at the bottom but will lie flat when open completely. The slight curl is toward the window but the visual effect from inside is pleasant.View this product

Well off the beaten path, our home offers a private and intimate experience connecting you with the wonders of the rainforest. Perched in the foothills, and backed by a mountain range, the home overlooks the canopy of our private wildlife reserve project and beyond to the ocean. The home's focus is open air living and features outdoor dining and living areas, as well as an outdoor, screened in bedroom - a favorite of many guests. With three other bedrooms and two full baths, the home sleeps seven in beds, with spare mattresses available for additional guests as needed. The pool, which adjoins the master bedroom patio, has a walkway cantilevered over the rainforest.
A true nature lover's paradise, the Rainforest Preserve Lodge and the surrounding Preserve offer many ways to enjoy a wide variety of wildlife. You will hear toucans crooning to each other and can watch coatimundis and monkeys playing in the trees, without leaving your breakfast perch on the balcony. You never know what you'll see next!
Our land is in the midst of the "Path of the Tapir" biological corridor, and we are developing a system of trails through the Preserve to enhance the opportunities to view wildlife and witness the exceptional natural beauty of the property. A morning walk with our caretaker (and nature guide extraordinaire!) to Hummingbird Falls or into the mountains is always a magical learning experience.
Our sunset platform, which overlooks 40 miles of coastline, is a great place to enjoy a picnic supper at sunset and look for whales below. The seven or eight beaches within a half-hour up and down the coast each offer a different ocean experience. Swimming, surfing, snorkeling, kayaking to sea caves, boating, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, rappelling down waterfalls or just relaxing are all available close by. Whatever level of adventure you enjoy is waiting for you.
So come and relax in the pool and watch the rainforest unfold around you, or explore the many areas of Rainforest Preserve, Dominical.
Above all, feel welcome!

I went with my family and spent 4 nights in the house, we had a great time really enjoy our vacations here. The only problem you might find is that you truly need a 4 wheel drive car to get into the house, the road is crazy uphill, but once you get into the house and see all the nature and the view nothing else matters.
Love the place and beaches, 100% recommended, and definitely will try to go back.
We could not have asked for a better vacation spot. The house is in the middle of a rainforest reserve. We were taken back by how beautiful it was. This is a hidden gem. We are so grateful to have stayed here. Dalip could not been a more gracious host. My grandparents loved watching the monkeys and tucans in the mornings. We never wanted to leave the pool that overlooks an incredible view of the forest. This house is great for everyone. There is hiking, the beach not far by with great surfing, and hours of pure relaxation. I highly recommend staying here!

CANTON Two prosecutors, including the chief assistant who recently finished prosecuting a murder trial, are leaving the St. Lawrence County District Attorneys office.
Chief Assistant Amanda N. Nissen said she is taking a position with the state police counsels office in Albany. Assistant District Attorney Jonathan L. Becker said he will move to Otsego County to start a private practice.
John and Amanda are good folks. Im sorry to see them go. I wish them well in their future endeavors, said District Attorney Nicole M. Duv� on Wednesday.
Ms. Nissen, who has been with the office for three and a half years, said her last day will be Friday or Monday. Mr. Becker, who joined the staff in 2009, said he expects to depart by the months end.
Ms. Nissen served as the prosecutor in the recent second-degree murder trial of three Ogdensburg men. That case ended Tuesday with the conviction of one defendant, Anthony W. Lalonde, and the acquittal of Michael S. Thorpe and Michael D. Durand in the 2010 death of Ralph E. Gene Lawton, 83, Ogdensburg.
Ms. Duv� said she had known of Ms. Nissens impending departure for some time, but thought it best not to make the news public until the trial was finished.
The DA praised Ms. Nissen as someone who will be difficult to replace. Mr. Becker has done a fantastic job handling appeals cases for the office, Ms. Duv� said, and will be missed for his research skills and willingness to assist other assistant district attorneys.
Ms. Nissen said the switch is not just a career move, but will bring her closer to her family and her roots in the Saratoga County area. Mr. Becker said he has enjoyed the work he has done in St. Lawrence County, but the move will let him live closer to his girlfriend, who moved to Otsego County about six months ago.
Working for Nicole has been absolutely fantastic, Ms. Nissen said.
She and Mr. Becker also said the volume of work has been substantial.
Its a difficult county to be a prosecutor in because the caseloads are enormous, Ms. Nissen said.
Mr. Becker agreed, calling the workload overwhelming.
Ive had to make a number of sacrifices just to keep up with my work, Mr. Becker said.
Ms. Duv�, who supervises seven other attorneys, said her office opens about 4,300 cases each year.
Our workload is double, at least, what it is in most prosecutors offices, she said.
Ms. Duv� said she already has reached out to potential candidates for the openings and plans to meet with county Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire today to discuss the hiring process.
Board of Legislators Chairman Jonathan S. Putney, D-Waddington, did not foresee problems filling the vacancies.
Traditionally, yes, when theres a vacancy in the DAs office, we fill those positions, he said. We dont want to interfere with the running of the criminal justice system.

Related Knowledge Base Articles Profiles Policies INTRODUCTION ============ Not too many years ago, information technology professionals faced a serious challenge in controlling the mounting costs of mainframe use. It seemed that everyone-clerks, writers, developers, and systems administrators-all had terminals and were using the system for everything from numbers crunching to typing letters. Networks became bogged down, and IT professionals were given the task of getting "nonessential operations" off the mainframe. Their decision was to deploy personal computers in the enterprise-with emulation software for mainframe access and local software for tasks where central processing or data sharing were not required. Gradually, as PCs became more powerful, more and more operations moved to the desktop. And as PC networking matured, many businesses found that a PC- based network built on commodity hardware and off-the-shelf software was their best business solution. Lately, however, we've come full circle on this. It seems that the total cost of ownership (or TCO)-the real cost of maintaining a distributed personal computer network-is far from trivial. TCO includes the initial capital cost of hardware and software, deployment and configuration expense, costs associated with deploying hardware and software updates, training and retraining, day-to-day maintenance and administration, and telephone and on-site technical support. With these escalating costs in mind, Microsoft and others are working together on several initiatives to lower the total cost of ownership of personal computers. TCO AND THE USER ================ One of the major costs highlighted in recent reports on Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), is lost productivity at the desktop caused by user error, such as changing the system configuration and rendering the computer unworkable, or system distractions and complexities, for example too many features or nonessential applications installed on the desktop. To solve these problems, system administrators need a means to control a user's access to key configuration files and to features and applications that are not required to do that user's particular job. To be successful, this means of control must be flexible and customizable-the system administrator must be able to control the computer configurations of individuals and groups of users based on user job responsibilities and computer literacy. PROFILES, POLICIES, AND THE ZERO ADMINISTRATION KIT =================================================== The Zero Administration Kit (ZAK) for the Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0 operating system is designed to help the corporate administrator address some of the issues arising from user operations. ZAK is a set of methodologies for deploying Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 that greatly reduces the burden of individual desktop management for task-based workers. With ZAK, system administrators can establish user profiles, system policies, and security to reduce some of the administrative costs associated with managing end-users in an enterprise network. ZAK's methodologies are based on the underlying technologies and capabilities of Windows NT 4.0, and as such these techniques can readily be adapted to accommodate a corporation's specific computing requirements. In the near future, you will see additional TCO-reducing features appear in Microsoft Windows 98, Windows NT 5.0, and Microsoft Systems Management Server. Central to these features is the idea of centralized desktop control. This is accomplished through User Profiles and System Policies- the subject of this paper. WHAT ARE USER PROFILES AND SYSTEM POLICIES? =========================================== A Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 User Profile describes the Windows NT configuration for a specific user, including the user's environment and preference settings. For example, those settings and configuration options specific to the user-such as installed applications, desktop icons, color options, and so forth-are contained in a User Profile. This profile is built in part from System Policy information (for example, those things that a user has access to and those things that the user can and cannot change) and in part from permitted, saved changes that a user makes to customize his or her desktop. A System Policy is a set of registry settings that together define the computer resources available to a group of users or an individual. Policies define the various facets of the desktop environment that a system administrator needs to control, such as which applications are available, which applications appear on the user's desktop, which applications and options appear in the Start menu, who can change attributes of their desktops and who cannot, and so forth. With the addition of System Policies and the new User Profile structure to Windows NT 4.0, network administrators have a greater ability to control the user environment than they ever have had before. Many of the requests that customers submitted, including providing more options in controlling the user's desktop, accessibility to applications and system tools, minimizing administrative overhead, and scalability enhancements, have been added. And, as with every release, Microsoft encourages customer feedback on enhancements to the Windows NT operating system. This document provides the details that administrators need to implement a rollout of User Profiles and System Policies under Windows NT 4.0. Although the primary emphasis is Windows NT, this paper also discusses how User Profiles are handled with Windows 95 clients and how the two platforms differ. BEFORE YOU BEGIN ================ Before proceeding with this document, we recommend that you read Chapters 3 and 4 of the Windows NT 4.0 Concepts and Planning Guide. In addition, you should be familiar with the following terms and concepts. KEY TERMINOLOGY =============== Directory Replication The copying of a master set of directories from a server (called the export server) to specified servers or workstations (called import computers) in the same or other domains. Replication simplifies the task of maintaining identical sets of directories and files on multiple computers, because only a single master copy of the data is maintained. Files are replicated when they are added to an export directory and each time a change is saved to one of the exported files. Domain Structure In Windows NT, a domain is a collection of computers defined by the administrator of a Windows NT Server network that share a common directory database. A domain provides access to the centralized user accounts and group accounts maintained by the domain administrator. Each domain has a unique name. Home Directory A home directory is a directory that is accessible to the user and contains files and programs for that user. A home directory can be assigned to a single user or to a group of users. Local Profile A local profile is specific to a computer. A user who has a local profile on a particular computer can gain access to that profile only while logged on to that computer. Mandatory Profile A mandatory profile is a preconfigured roaming profile that the user cannot change. In most cases, these are assigned to a person or a group of people for whom a common interface and standard configuration is required. NetLogon Service For Windows NT Server, the NetLogon service authenticates domain logons and keeps the domain's directory database synchronized between the primary domain controller (PDC) and the backup domain controllers (BDCs). Regedt32.exe The 32-bit version of the Registry Editor. Registry The registry is a database where Windows NT internal configuration information and machine- and user-specific settings are stored. Registry Hive A hive is a section of the registry that is saved as a file. The registry subtree is divided into hives (named for their resemblance to the cellular structure of a beehive). A hive is a discrete body of keys, subkeys, and values. Roaming Profile A roaming profile is stored on a network share and can be accessed from any computer. A user who has a roaming profile can log on to any computer for which that profile is valid and access the profile. (Note that a profile is only valid on the platform for which it was created-for example, a Windows NT 4.0 profile cannot be used on a Windows 95 computer.) Roaming User A roaming user is a user who logs on to the network from different computers at different times. This type of user may use a kiosk or may share a bank of computers with other users. A roaming user stores his or her user profile on a network share, and can log on to any networked computer and access that profile. System Policy A System Policy is a set of registry settings that together define the computer resources available to a group of users or an individual. You create system policies with the System Policy Editor. System policies allow an administrator to control user work environments and actions, and to enforce system configurations. %systemroot% An environment variable that expands to become the root directory containing Windows NT files. The directory name is specified when Windows NT is installed (normally, this directory name is c:\winnt). %systemroot%\profiles A folder in the root directory that contains the user profiles for each user of the computer. %username% An environment variable that expands to become the user account ID for the current logged on user. This identifies the user account to Windows NT. TECHNICAL NOTES =============== Several portions of this guide refer to registry locations that allow you to change certain behaviors of Windows NT and modify settings. For this reason, we include the following warning. Caution: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be resolved. In addition, portions of this guide refer to a registry hive called NTuser.xxx. In instances where this is used, .xxx can be replaced with either .dat or .man. ESTABLISHING USER PROFILES - AN OVERVIEW ======================================== A Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 User Profile describes the Windows NT configuration for a specific user, including the user's environment and preference settings. A User Profile can be local, roaming, or mandatory. A local profile is specific to a given computer. A user who creates a local profile on a particular computer can gain access to that profile only while logged on to that computer. Conversely, a roaming profile is stored on a network share and can be accessed from any networked computer. A user who has a roaming profile can log on to any networked computer for which that profile is valid and access the profile. A mandatory profile is a preconfigured roaming profile that the user cannot change. As a system administrator, you may want to use mandatory profiles for a group of people who require a common interface and standard configuration. One of the primary goals of User Profiles is to allow a user's system and desktop customizations to travel with the user from computer to computer, without requiring the user to reconfigure any settings. When a user logs on to any computer that supports his or her roaming profile, the desktop appears-just as the user left it the last time he or she logged off. With roaming user support, users can share computers, but each user has his or her personal desktop on any computer in the network (both roaming and mandatory profiles support this functionality). CREATING AND ADMINISTERING USER PROFILES ======================================== User Profiles can be created and administered in several different ways as will be described next. Note that as a system administrator, you determine whether users can modify their profiles. - You create a User Profile that is not modifiable for a particular user or group (this is a mandatory profile). - You establish a network Default User Profile that applies to all new users on Windows NT 4.0 computers. After downloading this default profile and logging on, the user can customize the profile (provided that it is not mandatory). - You allow a new user to use the local Default User Profile on the Windows NT 4.0 computer where the user logs on. After logging on, the user can customize the profile (provided that it is not mandatory). - You copy a template User Profile, and assign the copy to a user. The user can then customize the profile (provided that it is not a mandatory profile). Profiles can be stored on a network server or cached on the local machine. (Cached profiles are located in the \%systemroot%\Profiles directory.) Caching a profile reduces the total time to log on and load the profile; however, in a roaming user or kiosk environment, this approach may not be optimal. This option is controlled by the administrator. USER PROFILE STRUCTURE ====================== A User Profile is comprised of a Windows NT registry hive and a set of profile directories. The registry is a database used to store machine- and user-specific settings, and portions of the registry can be saved as files, called hives. These hives can then be reloaded for use as necessary. User Profiles take advantage of the hive feature to provide roaming profile functionality. The User Profile registry hive is the NTuser.dat in file form, and is mapped to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER portion of the registry when the user logs on. The NTuser.dat hive maintains the user's environment preferences when the user is logged on. It stores those settings that maintain network connections, Control Panel configurations unique to the user (such as the desktop color and mouse), and application-specific settings. The series of profile directories store shortcut links, desktop icons, startup applications, and so forth. Together, these two components record all user- configurable settings that can migrate from computer to computer. Details are provided below. CONFIGURATION PREFERENCES STORED IN THE REGISTRY HIVE ===================================================== The Ntuser.dat file contains the following configuration settings. - Windows NT Explorer settings. All user-definable settings for Windows NT Explorer, as well as persistent network connections. - Taskbar. All personal program groups and their properties, all program items and their properties, and all taskbar settings. - Printer settings. All network printer connections. - Control Panel. All user-defined settings made in the Control Panel. - Accessories. All user-specific application settings affecting the Windows NT environment, including: Calculator, Clock, Notepad, Paint, and HyperTerminal, among others. - Help bookmarks. Any bookmarks placed in the Windows NT Help system. Configuration Preferences Stored in Profile Directories The profile directories are designed to contain the following configuration settings. - Application data. Application-specific data, such as a custom dictionary for a word processing program. Application vendors decide what data to store in this directory. - Desktop. Desktop items, including files and shortcuts. - Favorites. Shortcuts to program items and favorite locations. - NetHood.* Shortcuts to Network Neighborhood items. - Personal. Shortcuts to program items. Also a central store for any documents that the user creates. Applications should be written to save files here by default. - PrintHood.* Shortcuts to printer folder items. - Recent. Shortcuts to the most recently used items. - SendTo. Shortcuts to document storage locations and applications. - Start Menu. Shortcuts to program items. - Templates.* Shortcuts to template items. * These directories are hidden by default. To see these directories, change the View Options. WINDOWS NT 4.0 AND WINDOWS 95 - USER PROFILE DIFFERENCES ======================================================== Windows 95 Profiles are very similar in behavior to Windows NT 4.0 Profiles, but there are some differences. Unlike Windows NT 4.0, Windows 95 downloads and writes User Profiles to the user's home directory. When the Windows 95 user first logs on, the UNC path specified in the user account's home directory path is checked for the Windows 95 User Profile. You can modify this behavior, however. See the Windows 95 Resource Kit for more information. Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 User Profiles have the following additional functional differences: - Windows 95 does not support common groups. - Windows 95 can be configured to copy only the shortcut (.lnk) and Program Information Files (.pif) when the User Profile is downloaded, whereas Windows NT downloads all file, shortcut, and directory objects. - Windows 95 User Profiles do not support a centrally stored Default User Profile. - Windows 95 uses different files for the registry portion of User Profiles. (Refer to the following table.) Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 profiles are not interchangeable, primarily because the registry hive, which is a key component of the User Profile, is incompatible between operating system versions. Windows NT 4.0 file Equivalent Windows 95 file ------------------------------------------------ Ntuser.dat User.dat Ntuser.dat.log User.da0 Ntuser.man User.man NOTE: The Windows 95 User.da0 and Windows NT 4.0 Ntuser.dat.log, while equivalent, provide slightly different functionality. Windows 95 writes a copy of User.dat to User.da0 each time the user logs off. Windows NT uses the Ntuser.dat.log file as a transaction log file. This allows for fault tolerance in the event that a User Profile must be recovered. Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 file structures are identical with the exception of the Application Data directory. Windows 95 does not support this directory. Windows 95 User Profiles can be stored on NetWare servers. For more information on configuring a client with a Primary Network Logon of Client for NetWare Networks, see the chapter "Windows 95 on NetWare Networks" in the Windows 95 Resource Kit. For more information on configuring a client that uses Microsoft Service for NetWare Directory Services, see the online Help that accompanies the service.

SMITHFIELD тАФ The score could've been so much worse at halftime, and Cumberland High head coach Chris Skurka knew it.
That's why, after the horn signifying intermission had sounded, Skurka clapped his hands (although not with pleasure but more for self-healing), spoke with a few assistants and shuffled his squad back to its team room underneath Bryant University's Bulldog Stadium.
Despite three punt snaps into the turf in front of senior Kyle Masse, those resulting in тАЬonlyтАЭ a minus-20 yards, and an interception, the reigning Rhode Island Division II champion Clippers trailed Division I representative Cranston West by a mere six points.
Skurka and his staff believed they had put into place the necessary adjustments to take on the speedy Falcon offense for the final 24 minutes.
For the most part, those changes failed to occur. Cranston West took advantage of two touchdowns in the third quarter alone and sailed to a 27-12 triumph before a few hundred fans on Saturday afternoon.
In the end, junior quarterback Tyler Calabro's numbers seemed adequate, excepting one: He completed 12 of 24 aerials for 205 yards, but also threw three interceptions. And, in the interim, the Cumberland ground game was anemic at best, as it totaled 16 yards on 24 handles while fumbling thrice and losing a pair.
On the positive side, senior tight end Chris Hayes hauled in five passes for 105 yards, and junior fullback Joe Fine snared two more for 31. The Clipper receivers, though, left a lot of yardage on the field, courtesy of a several dropped passes.
тАЬYou can't turn the ball over and expect to win football games,тАЭ Skurka sighed after the tilt. тАЬWe've got a lot of work to do; we have to clean up our offense. The special teams just aren't where a Cumberland football team should be. We're very young, and we have a lot of room for improvement.
тАЬWe were only down six at the half, and we considered ourselves fortunate,тАЭ he added. тАЬWe need to be more consistent, and we need to play four consistent quarters of football. We also need a better complete effort. Like I said, we have a lot of work to do.тАЭ
For Cranston West, which moved to 1-0, not a single statistic proved to be amazing, but a few were more than тАЬBтАЭ grades.
Junior running back Raekown Kisilywicz led the team on the ground with 44 yards on seven carries (with a catch for 17 more), while senior fullback Jack Hammond contributed 38 yards on 10 handles; junior Bam Hernandez 25 on seven; and senior quarterback Jeremy King 25 on four.
King also replaced classmate Steve Furtado behind center after the break, and completed six of 14 passes for 114 yards and a touchdown. One aerial, in particular, broke the Clippers, as King found senior Jim Diehl open perhaps 20 yards down field on the right, and he took it the distance en route to an 80-yard paydirt.
That gave the Falcons a 20-6 cushion with 1:29 remaining in the third quarter.
Cumberland's first bad punt snap of the day occurred with just under five minutes remaining in the first quarter. Masse tried to somehow hustle it to a first down, but was downed at his own one-yard line.
On the following snap, Hammond plowed it off left guard.
The Falcons tried to boot the usual PAT, but a poor snap was recovered by sophomore Jerome Evans.
The Clippers immediately drove to the CW 32, but Calabro's toss to Hayes on a flag pattern to the right was intercepted by senior Alex Cortellessa at the 14.
The Falcons followed with a solid possession of their own, moving from the 18 to the Cumberland 21 before the host defense stiffened. After a third ground-ball punt snap, CW took over at the Clippers' 29 and took it to the 9 before a converging swell of Clippers tossed Hammond for a three-yard loss.
As luck would have it, Hayes picked off starting signal caller Furtado at the 11, and Skurka's crew survived another scare.
тАЬAt times, our defense got us (the offense) back onto the field, but we gifted that initial six points,тАЭ Skurka recalled. тАЬWe had an opportunity to take the safety; that would've been the right call, but we didn't. We're still young, and we have a lot to learn.тАЭ
Calabro's second interception, this one by senior Damien Andrus, gave the Falcons the ball at Cumberland's 39. After an illegal procedure flag, they needed just four plays to march the 44 yards, this one culminating on King's one-yard sneak.
King also took a keeper around left end for the two-point conversion that lifted CW to a 14-0 advantage.
Thanks to junior Jared Talbert's 46-yard return of the ensuing kickoff, the Clippers seemed poised to slice the deficit in half. Actually, a six-yard Calabro rush earned his club a first down at the CW 22, but that was called back 10 yards for a holding infraction.
One incompletion later, Calabro found junior Kyle Patrie wide open over the middle, and he took it the rest of the way to complete the 37-yard scoring aerial.
Calabro's PAT kick sailed wide left, but Cumberland found itself within striking distance with 5:05 left in the third.
Neither West nor Cumberland did much on its immediate possessions тАУ until King delivered that long scoring toss to Diehl.
Three plays after that, Cortellessa picked off his second Calabro pass and returned it 12 yards to the Clippers' 35. Five snaps after that, Hernandez coasted into the end zone on a 12-yard jaunt off right tackle (and Mike Foley notched the PAT boot) to virtually clinch it at 27-6.
It the TD came with 10:24 remaining in the contest.
As had been the case prior, Cumberland had another chance, quickly moving the pigskin from its own 35 to the CW 22, but Calabro's fumble ended that possession. The Clippers, though, did find a bright spot after officials had whistled a Falcon for an illegal block on a punt return.
Taking over at its own 23, junior rusher Mike Stock gained 12, and Calabro tossed to Hayes for a 20-yarder before finding Masse open for another eight. With the ball on the 37, Hayes ran a mini-fly pattern down the right hash for a 23-yard snag, then accepted another 14-yarder for Calabro in the left segment of the end zone.
Calabro missed another PAT wide left, but the Clippers had made it, perhaps, respectable.
тАЬThere were moments we played well, and moments we just fell apart,тАЭ Skurka stated afterward. тАЬWe need a sustained four quarters of complete effort. We can't make that many mistakes, can't miss that many blocks or not make easy catches, and expect to win week to week.тАЭ

There are those consumers who play by the rules and the status que. Then you have consumers who want enhance their current technology at any means and with total disregard to the rules. From unlocked cell phones to untethered jailbreaks, these tech savvy rebels will constantly push the envelope and expand the edge of innovation.
So, the technological consequences of this week's announcement by iPhone DevTeam still remain to be seen on the mobile tech scene. The team has finally released an updated version of a jailbreak tool (Redsn0) which will allow iPad3, iPod Touch 4G, and iPhone 4 the to jailbreak their devices without requiring the user to re-enable the tool each time the device is rebooted. Alas, the iPhone 4Sand iPad 2, are not yet compatible with this tool which is typical with the latest and greatest technology releases . But, all news points to the jailbreak tool being applicable to a number of the manufacturer's media players, tablets and smartphone devices. Leaving your valuable mobile devices unprotected is risky! The latest stylish top brand bags, sleeves and cases innovative protection solutions allow you to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes with our stylish top. Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside these brand name protection accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.
Also typical to jailbreak tools, there are some things to keep in mind. First, users need to have a compatible base band if they prefer to unlock the device with the ultrasn0w tool. Next, they must save the SHSH blobs if there is the possibility the user may want to downgrade again to version 5.0.1 when updates are released. Discover the foremost online source for brand name data cables and mciro SD Memory Cards with the advanced designed engineered to work with the latest wireless and mobile devices. This Data Cable and Memory Card Collection combines style, quality, performance and value while giving you the ultimate in cable technology.
There are indications that the iPhone Dev Team is diligently working to expand the un-tethered jailbreak tool to Apple's latest tablet and smartphone releases. And, as this writer is not as technical as these "researchers," she does wonder if any of these tools affect the iHome and other accessories or will result in greater carrier neutrality for customers as an "unlocked" device.

By MICHAEL OVERSONSun Advocate reporter
The College of Eastern Utah recently experienced record growth amidst huge statewide budget cuts, according to the Utah System of Higher Education.
CEU's increased enrollment is largely due to the increased success of their Blanding campus.
Reaching out to the Navajo nation and implementing courses emphasizing trucking/ heavy equipment operating and medical coding fields, the Blanding campus had a 58 percent increase in enrollment, according to Brad King, vice president of the Institutional Advising Student Services.
He also said that the Blanding campus accounts for almost one-half of total enrollment for the college. CEU's main campus had a 12 percent increase.
The majority of those students were non-residents. Lower tuition for international students and recruiting efforts by the sports teams from outside the state and country led to this increase.
Marketing efforts from the college, namely promotional advertisements on Comcast, have been successful in getting CEU's name out to the masses. High school tours and literature sent to juniors and seniors are other means of in-state recruiting, according to King.
According to a press release from CEU, the Blanding campus has been working hard to increase enrollment using new approaches to recruiting and retaining students. Virgil Caldwell, director of outreach and program development at CEU San Juan Campus, said that, "About five years ago, we came to a strategic realization that we needed newer ways of doing the education business." Caldwell said they recognized they could make smarter decisions about growth at San Juan by using real data to maximize the return on recruiting dollars.
The key to success, Caldwell said, is a "willingness to consider new ideas before saying, 'no, we can't do that' and considering maximizing the current technology we have with the support of UEN [Utah Education Network]."
The Blanding campus uses the Geographic Information System (GIS) platform for a custom "future student" database that identifies the location and career interests of potential students. The database helps reduce the "guesswork of where recruiting efforts make maximum payoff," says Caldwell. An important part of San Juan's growth strategy is listening to people in the community, in order to learn what their educational needs are and working to develop programs to meet those needs.
"We must be the idea agent for the customer," says Caldwell. Being an idea agent requires creativity and building a relationship of trust with the community.
According to a press release from CEU, USHE had a student enrollment increase for the spring 2010 semester of 9.48 percent, amounting to 13,104 students statewide. This year-over-year increase is the largest in USHE history.
This unprecedented enrollment boom, combined with historic budget cuts, is stretching campus resources, making it difficult to expand capacity to meet the demands of new growth without needed state funding.
CEU has stopped offering five certificate programs including: Associate of Applied Science and one-year certificate in graphic design, Associate of Applied Science in Electronics with modifications to the one-year certificate, Associate of Applied Science in Building Construction Management with modifications to the one-year certificate, Associate of Applied Science in Computer Networking and the one-year certificate and Associate of Applied Science in Administrative Assistant/Information Processing Specialist. CEU has cut 58 positions over the last two years, mostly affecting staff and administration. "Our greatest hope is to reduce the amount of mandated cuts," Brad King said. "The college has already reduced operating costs in all departments by 25 percent. Any more cuts would have to affect personnel."
"These cuts are not expected to affect the quality of learning provided by the college or increase necessary time to graduate due to discontinued classes. Other schools with larger student populations along the Wasatch Front will probably be affected," King continued.
Utah's colleges and universities experienced a historic 17 percent budget decrease in the 2009 state legislative session. They were mitigated by a one-time backfill of 8.5 percent from federal stimulus money.
Governor Herbert has recommended permanently funding this backfill, to avoid further cuts. In contrast, legislative leaders are currently considering cuts as deep as 22 percent by July 2010, according to USHE.
The state's budget picture for fiscal year 2011 is still somewhat cloudy, though the revenue figures that serve as the basis for the budget were approved by the Executive Appropriations committee on Feb. 16.
The real work now begins in the legislature, to determine the final budget. CEU hopes the governor can have some influence and higher education is spared additional cuts, according to the President's Report to the CEU Board of Trustee's prepared by Mike King, CEU interim president.

Opeyemi Awe '15, Student Intern with Challenging Heights, 2012
Anne Geissinger
Opeyemi Awe '15 was awarded a Grinnellink internship to work with 2011 Grinnell Prize winner James Kofi Annan and his organization Challenging Heights. Ope worked first with Challenging Heights' partner organization Hovde Foundation in Washington DC for five weeks before spending five weeks working with Challenging Heights in Ghana.
From Germantown, Maryland by way of Ilesa, Nigeria, Opeyemi Awe '15 (known as "Ope") will split her internship between Hovde Foundation in Washington D.C. and Challenging Heights in Ghana. Ope is an intended chemistry and sociology double major, who is also looking to concentrate in Global Development Studies.
A "Day in the Life" at Hovde Foundation
I have two main responsibilities while here in DC. I am searching for partners for Challenging Heights and other Hovde Foundation partners and I am seeking funding sources. This requires a lot of time sending emails, drafting letters and just seeking any opportunities that might be of any benefit to Challenging Heights. My day typically begins at around 8:30 when I wake up. I take a 30 minute Metro ride and walk 10 minutes to the Hovde Financial / Foundation office which is in Dupont Circle (a lively and thriving part of DC known for its awesome night life as well as its many office buildings). I typically get to the office anytime between 9:30 and 10 am where I immediately check my email. The interns and I typically have a meeting with Jessie where we discuss individual projects or assignments that we are working on. Once a week, we are assigned new big projects with lots of little tasks that pop up during the week. After our meeting, the interns and I either work together in a conference room in the basement or we work at our own desks. At around 12:45 or 1pm I typically go out to lunch and try some of the wonderful cuisine in DC. I typically keep working (which involves hours of sitting and web searching) until about 5pm when I head to the Catholic University housing where I am staying for the summer. Once I get home and chill for about an hour – I typically head back out to discover the city whether it be to have dinner with friends or go see an art show or watch a movie on the Mall, I try to do one cool, new thing a night and I have had a splendid time exploring DC.
Big Moments and Accomplishments in DC
I have learned a lot about myself, the world of non-profits and child / sex trafficking while I have been here. I have learned about how deep the problem runs in so many societies including the US. I have also learned never to take any person or organization at face value. I am learning to challenge ideas and myself and be intentional in my quest to make a difference in my world. Some big moments from my internship in DC so far are .... Receiving responses from emails! It might appear vain or trivial but when seeking partners, it is not rare for me to send out hundreds of emails at a time. It is incredible when I receive – even one – response. Little victories. Other interesting things that I have been working on include helping set up a speaking tour for James Kofi Annan when he visits the US in October and finding an incredible human dignity award for him for which I have begun the groundwork.
Encountering and Overcoming Challenges- Part I
One of the biggest challenges I have faced is trying to overcome pessimism. The Hovde Foundation has done some incredible work with its incredible partners. When I send out hundreds of emails and get no responses, it can be disheartening, in the same way as when I spend hours and hours searching for grants and only come up with one or two possible opportunities. To overcome these, I just remind myself that the work that I am doing is important for the sustenance of our partner organizations and that I am doing them and myself a great service. I also remind myself that I am learning how to be patient.
Another challenge I face runs a little deeper. I see and appreciate all the hard work, energy and effort that these partners put into helping vulnerable children. However, when I begin to read stories and learn how these children ended up in their situations, I find myself hating so many parts of the world. I see all the good yet somehow the evil that I hear about is powerful enough to make me feel like the good is not accomplishing much. I know that this is not true. This is a feeling that I struggle with regularly and truthfully I have not overcome it. I just have to consistently and intentionally remind myself that the work that all these groups are doing is making a difference and that each child that is saved is another potential partner in helping end child / sex trafficking.
A "Day in the Life" at Challenging Heights
My major projects are electronically documenting all the names, ages, and birthdays of all 600 plus students at the school and reviewing an existing policy requiring a specific number of homework assignments per class. However, the majority of my day consists of sitting in classes and interacting with the students. I really love break time because the kids teach me lots of Fantse [the local, native language], cool games, and force me to embarrass myself jump-roping!
This entire experience has really increased my profound respect for educators—especially primary school educators. What these kids are being taught is so essential to their futures but they can be incredibly rowdy and overwhelming, so I truly applaud those who teach for a living—it's incredible and selfless work.
Encountering and Overcoming Challenges- Part II
Challenging Heights is wonderful because it is responding to various community needs through its multifaceted approach. The problem is that there is a lot of need, and so much has to be done on so few resources. Students are learning in half constructed buildings. Some classes have a 60:1 student-teacher ratio, and it can all be very overwhelming. While working here, I am reminding myself of all of the practical limitations I face and realizing that while my final product will not be perfect, it can represent the best and most genuine work that I can do.
Reflections and What I've Learned
My perspective during my internship in Ghana was colored by my Nigerian heritage. While I loved the opportunity to go to Ghana, experience a new culture and try to do some good – I was constantly aware of my role as the fix-it-American. Ghanaians (and West Africans for that matter) are not looking for pity nor are they looking to be perceived as lesser humans. We are culturally, physically, mentally and emotionally equal to those in first world countries. I became acutely aware and ultra sensitive to many conversations that would occur with some other Americans that I was staying with. No matter how hard I challenged their incorrect notions about Africans – I discovered that the only way that they would see Africans as equals would be if we had the same economic prowess as America or other developed nations. That began to shift my interest more towards understanding how the local economies functioned. Why aren't there major national and international corporations seeking to build factories or open stores in these nations – especially nations with booming economies? What cultural, social, political and economic factors must one consider before investing in a developing nation? It is at this intersection between my personal thoughts and my academic pursuits that I started to be less enamored with my pursuit of chemistry and began to be more interested in economics. If Africans are able to create and maintain stable and competitive economies, we will be able to demand for and invest in institutions that will improve our quality of life. Similarly, it will also put us on the long road to combating the prevailing negative perception of Africans that has been around for far too long.
My sociology and global development studies courses were invaluable in how successful and transformative this internship was for me. Without the background knowledge on the various developmental issues, I would have spent most of my time playing catch-up, as opposed to critically examining my surroundings and asking difficult questions. Likewise, my vocabulary provided me the opportunity to understand and analyze how various sociological concepts such as capital, culture and family, can impact development work. It solidified my intent to pursue a degree in both of these fields. My personal explorations also left open the possibility of pursuing an additional degree in economics. Above all, I valued the opportunity to go to West Africa – the region of development work that most interests me – and daily ask myself 'is this really what you want to do.' While I might not want to end up working at a school in Ghana, I know without a doubt that I want to end up doing development work in West Africa.

|Black Friday marks the beginning of holiday shopping
|Written by Richard Anderson
|Tuesday, 20 November 2012 12:42
Fire trucks, politicians, beauty queens and floats are a sure sign that Christmas is around the corner. All that, with St. Nick in tow will mark Boone's annual Christmas parade on Saturday December first at 11am. Before we reach that milestone, we have to make it through Black Friday. At the Downtown Boone Development Association they are fired up.
As always, their motto is "shop local". They are pleased to report that the Jones house has had an uptick in visitors and that is a good early indicator of business activity. They are also deep into final planning for the parade.
At Mast General Store, this is certainly not their first Christmas. They have seen 129 Christmases since opening in 1883. There was a 3 year hiatus from 1977 through 1980 but they probably hold the Watauga County retail record.
Wal-Mart in Boone is up to the task again this year. Tracy Stilwell, General Manager of the local supercenter says he expects a strong holiday weekend. Tracy told High Country Radio News that they expect this Thursday through Sunday to be the "busiest weekend through the Holiday season". Wal-Mart is open Thursday with the "Black Friday" markdowns kicking in at 10pm.
Here at High Country Radio, we always urge you to remember the reason for the season and we send best wishes for you and your loved ones.
For more information about the Christmas parade go to www.townofboone.net or call 828.262.4532.

Cougar kills emu, injures mini donkey
NORTH BEND, Ore. - As Paul and Donna Carlson slept only 100 feet away, a cougar came onto their property and attacked their animals.
They didn't hear a thing as the cat hurt their miniature donkey Ivy and killed their emu Fred.
"He was a pet, and I'm gonna miss him dearly," Donna told KCBY News.
From the aftermath, the Carlsons think the cat attacked Fred by the barn and dragged his body along the fence.
A trapper caught the cougar when it came back for the rest of the carcass.
While the Carlsons said they don't wish harm on any animal, even the cougar, they were relieved the animal was captured and destroyed.
"Once these cougars take livestock, they can't do anything else but put them down, track them and put them down, because they will continue to come back after the livestock because it's an easy meal," Donna said.
Jim Cegar lives next door and has two dogs and a horse on his property. He's relieved the cougar is no longer living in the neighborhood.
"I was going out in the middle of the night with my gun," Cegar said, "because if it's that close, you never know."

Should have photoshopped out Walmart though.
The only thing I've ever seen of *real* concern at the local Lidl was a woman, in a trench coat, occasionally flashing her ginormous naked flesh in front of the frozen foods.
Not that I was intentionally looking, but the rather large and trashy tattoos on her chest were hard to ignore.

BUFFALO, NY - New York's new gun law is adding more work, and costing more money for County Clerk's offices.
Although Governor Cuomo added money to the state police budget to enforce the new law, there was no extra funding given to county clerk's offices, which handle pistol permits.
And clerks across Western New York say they've been swamped ever since the law passed just over a month ago:
Clerk's offices are now being forced to pay their staff overtime or add employees in order to handle the new work that the new gun law has brought on.
"Our county clerk's office has ramped up by two and a half people in keeping up with the demand from the gun control act," said Doug Berwanger, the Chairman of the Wyoming County Board of Supervisors.
"We've been barraged with calls and inquiries and I've already had to allocate overtime to try to accommodate this. We've had over a two hour wait which we've never had before people are rushing in for these things," said Erie County Clerk Chris Jacobs.
Recently, State Senator Pat Gallivan and other Western New York state legislators met with county clerks and others who are affected by the gun law.
Gallivan tells 2 On Your Side that although there's been no move yet to give the clerks more state funding to help pay for their new workload, he does say it's very possible that more money could be allocated during upcoming negotiations with the Governor over his budget proposal that takes effect April 1st.
Governor Cuomo's office issued the following response to the concerns voiced above:
"As the law clearly states, any costs related to the NY SAFE Act will be covered by the state. Registration processes under the NY SAFE Act will be simple and readily available online, and come at no cost to localities. Any assertion that the law will pass costs down to counties is simply not based on facts and ignores what the law actually says."

lol, calling the cops in over abuse of staff discounts?
There software costs too much. Microsoft Windows for example is in 90+% ( i think ) of home computers, they could probably still make a profit if they sold each copy for $1, but they still charge high prices, look at Microsoft office standard eition costs $399 the last time i checked.
