In this webinar, you'll learn:

47 mins
Dr. Johnny Ryan & Todd Cameron
Ad blocking has dominated headlines in the marketing world for months, generating a robust debate about the legality, ethics, and financial ramifications of the software.

-Ad blockers will cost publishers nearly $22 billion in revenue this year
-200 million people worldwide regularly block ads
-Usage increased by 41% globally in the last year
As an advocate of the digital marketer, TapInfluence is excited to co-host PageFair, the authors of the most quoted ad blocking study in the industry, "The Cost of Ad Blocking, 2015 Global Ad Blocking Report," for an exclusive webinar.

Fatemeh Khatibloo and Liz Witherspoon, Forrester research analysts

Or maybe you've started to realize that all of your customer and online data isn't as unified as you want it to be?

Tracking, seeing, understanding: How top marketers make data-driven decisions
Sep 22 2015
59 mins
Jon Cifuentes - Research Analyst; VB Insight
Sponsored by Tableau
There's more marketing data available than ever, and that's exactly why it's so challenging to truly make sense of it all. While cloud-based data platforms have accelerated the availability and access of marketing data, it hasn't made the marketer's job any easier. It's just the opposite. 'Mo' data, mo' problems.'
VB Insight's new research on analytics shows that brands plan to increase their spending on the category by a whopping 73 percent over the next 3 years. For big market cap B2C companies, it's closer to a 100 percent increase.
The trouble is most marketing organizations are lukewarm on both how good their own insights are and how good their business partners are at making their insights actionable.
This webinar will cover how top marketers are using marketing data to their advantage and driving huge value with data.
Attendees will:
* Learn the primary objectives for marketing analytics organizations today
* Get an overview of the massively complex marketing data ecosystem. We counted 800+ vendors in use across 10 key marketing use cases
* Understand and be able to outline the top vendors available for every use case, who's meeting expectations and who's lagging
* Gain guidance for the types of advanced analysis your marketing organization needs to be investing in now to compete for customer relevance

Separating Fact From Fiction in a Cross-Device Content World
Sep 17 2015
43 mins
Duncan Clark, Product Marketing Manager, Netbiscuits
If you ask digital marketers what content is proving best for ROI, you'll probably find a fairly even split of answers between video, long form and short form articles. Now, the scary bit. If you ask them what that answer is based on, more often than not you'll find it's the result of opinion or gut feeling. Of course, there's nothing wrong with this. Most of us have a good idea of what our audience broadly is looking for.
However, it makes the next set of questions really difficult to answer:
- Do I need to be creating more videos, or more long form articles?
- Are infographics a waste of time?
- Do I have the right mix of content for my audience or could I be serving them even better?
Added to this, there are many well-intentioned bloggers eager to share their best practice ideas, which can lead to truths, half-truths and sometimes pure myth. But how can we separate fact from fiction?
In this webinar, we'll explore how analytics can be used to debunk myths and really inform marketing intelligence. We'll do this by analysing real live data against some of the common hypotheses, such as:
- Long form articles are more engaging than short form
- Videos are the most efficient form of content
- Infographics are expensive and least effective for driving content marketing ROI
In this webinar, we'll explore how to link content to ROI and how to optimise ROI in a world where content has to reach a cross-device audience. Learn some top tips for how to plan a really rewarding content marketing strategy.

We will also show you how to move your reporting beyond basic reach and engagement metrics to start distilling valuable business insights from the vast amounts of data in the social media landscape.

Sex by Numbers: What Statistics Can Tell Us About Sexual Behaviour

Sir David Spiegelhalter, Statistician, Author, and Cambridge professor
Whatever society we live in, and however open-minded we like to think we are, when it comes to our sex lives we all like to keep a few secrets. But this makes the jobs of sexologists – professionals who study sexual behaviour – pretty difficult.
David Spiegelhalter, Professor of Risk at Cambridge University, has tried to unravel the web of exaggerations, misdirections and downright lies that surround sex in modern society. Drawing on the Natsal survey, the widest survey of sexual behaviour since the Kinsey Report, and a huge range of other sources he answers crucial questions such as what are we all doing? How often? And how has it changed? And crucially, which numbers can we believe?

Plywood cars and odd superchargers
My Mechanix Illustrated collection has been growing lately, mostly filling gaps in the 1950s and 1960s, but I've also been adding some issues from the magazine's predecessor, Modern Mechanix, and finding awesome little nuggets of information in 'em all. One of the more recent additions was this Modern Mechanix issue from December 1936, which includes gems such as the above photo, which depicts Ben Harris and his homebuilt front-wheel-drive car.
Designed to serve as an example of artistic and functional design as well as mechanical ability, a newly developed auto attains a speed of 110 m.p.h., and is said to travel 30 miles on a gallon of gasoline. It was designed by Benjamin F. Harris III, an industrial engineer in Chicago, Illinois.
Three years time was required to construct the car which incorporated many novel features. It is equipped with a front drive transmission and has independently sprung rear wheels. Fully retractable headlights and an exhaust aperture built into the body reduce air resistance.
The powerplant is a specially built V-8, geared engine equipped with two carburetors. The auto weighs 1,500 pounds and is 12 feet long, 5 feet wide. With a wheelbase of 86 inches, the wheel tread is 50 inches. The auto has remotely controlled filler caps and concealed hood latches and locks.
AutoPuzzles.com has an archived thread with more information about the Harris Streamline Special. Apparently, the car still exists!

Schools in Woonsocket and Pawtucket are closed for the second straight day. In the scheme of high school athletics, one of these cities plans on playing through the elements while the other adheres to a policy that if school is canceled, so too are all after-school activities.
Schools in Woonsocket and Pawtucket are closed for the second straight day. In the scheme of high school athletics, one of these cities plans on playing through the elements while the other adheres to a policy that if school is canceled, so too are all after-school activities.
Woonsocket athletic director George Nasuti confirmed that Savaria Gymnasium will be open for business Tuesday night when the Woonsocket girls' basketball team hosts Ponaganset. The Villa Novans are also sending their boys track delegation to the Providence Career & Technical Academy field house for Tuesday's 4 p.m. Class Meet.
"The only reason why we're not in school is because of the local roads, not facilities," said Nasuti. "(Girls' basketball and indoor track) are the only two events we have anyway, so we're going to run them."
Down in Pawtucket, the policy from the superintendent's office is that no extracurricular activities – high-school sports is classified as such – can take place when school is called off. That means the gyms at Tolman and Shea will remain dark and quiet, with a flurry of make-up games scheduled for later in the week.
Come Wednesday night, the Tolman and Shea boys' basketball teams will kick off a three-games-in-three-days stretch with a contest against one another at Donaldson Gymnasium. The game has been designated as the Donaldson Scholarship Foundation Game and Tolman's "Senior Day."
Shea and Tolman will remain at home Thursday. The Raiders welcome West Warwick in a game that was originally scheduled for last Friday and could go a long way in deciding the Division II-Central title; Shea is 10-5 while West Warwick sits at 11-4. Tolman enters the busy stretch at 7-8 in league play, which at the moment is good enough to gain admittance to the 10-team Division II tournament.
The Tigers host 9-6 Exeter/West Greenwich on Thursday and West Warwick Friday. The Raiders will get a crack at the Scarlet Knights when they hit the road Friday.
Other Pawtucket-based athletic events that were originally on the docket Tuesday include two girls' basketball games – Tolman at Mount Hope, Bishop Keough at Shea – and one wrestling match – Tolman at Ponaganset.
"There's not much anybody can do," stated Tolman athletic director John Scanlon. "(The decision makers) have no control over the weather, so we'll see what happens."
The canceling of school in Central Falls has resulted in the postponement of Tuesday's girls' basketball contest with East Providence. With Davies Tech closed Tuesday, the girls' basketball team will now take on North Smithfield Wednesday.
At St. Raphael, the hope is that the boys' basketball game at Mount Pleasant and the girls' basketball game at Pilgrim can still go off without a hitch despite Tuesday's classes getting canceled.
Monday saw the R.I. Interscholastic League push back the conclusion of the regular season in boys' hoops to Sunday. Right now there are three games on the schedule for Saturday, though it wouldn't come as a shock to learn of more teams going the weekend route.
"We're encouraging the schools to get the season completed as fast as possible, but this [extension] will give them some flexibility," said Mike Lunney, RIIL assistant director.
Sunday's scheduled conclusion marks the third time that the boys' regular season has been pushed back. Originally, this Wednesday was supposed to mark the end before postponements prior to last weekend's mega snowstorm resulted in teams receiving an extension until Friday.
What does this mean for the divisional playoffs? The preliminary round is now Monday, Feb. 18 with the quarterfinals on tap for Wednesday, Feb. 20. The semifinals are still set for Friday, Feb. 22 with the finals to take place Sunday, Feb. 24.
In swimming, the Division II Class Meet for boys and girls will be held Tuesday at Roger Williams University. On Wednesday, Roger Williams will play host to the Division III Class Meet.
In terms of rescheduling the hockey games that were lost over the weekend, Lunney says that the league is working on the matter.
Two "Pink Out" events are on tap this week. The first will take place Wednesday at 7 p.m. when Central Falls hosts Lincoln in boys' basketball. Donations will be accepted at the door and t-shirts will be sold for $20. There will also be prizes with all the proceeds raised going to Coaches vs. Cancer.
On Friday, the North Smithfield boys' basketball team will stage its second annual cancer awareness benefit as the Northmen take on Davies Tech. All the money donated at the door will go to the American Cancer Society (last year's "Pink Out" event raised almost $2,000). In addition to coming out and supporting a worthy cause, Northmen head coach T.J. Ciolfi will be decked out in an all-pink suit.

I completely approve of the starting weapons. However, I must question your wisdom in choosing a map where there is no plasma gun, and no plasma gun ammo.
The 1flagCTF samplers were my first 1flagCTF matches, now I'm tier 4. After playing 3 freeze tag matches yesterday I was demoted to tier 1. Why is FT so much harder than 1flagCTF?
Is it just me or are the physics different? What's with the rocket bounce?
Also after each round winning team should not keep weapons. You see a lot of 10-0 scores.
And when frozen you should at least be able to spectate team-members. (As it is now you can't spec when frozen)
its not exactly a surprise either that scores are skewed when one team keeps the guns. If you got even one person near you at respawn you can already forget it, especially on a map which is one big hallway. I played this one quarantine once, and it was fun, but on this small map its pointless...
well there are close games occasionally, but mostly it's blowouts because of one ego-tripping tier 4 (t5?) guy shows up and sits on the server ( there was one the other day who played for 5 HOURS in one day, and mostly on the sampler server ) no amount of shuffle can fix a guy who goes 40 or 50 frags on one team (more than the whole other team combined)
Just saying, it's not entirely the round settings, but they do lend themselves to easy dominating by the "pseudo-pro" players, so mix that in with some brand new guys asking "how do you team chat" and there will be many bg's.
kinda like devpicks.....
It would be nice if there were a command to disable the announcer, or replace with notification sounds.

But Brandt, Director of Counseling at USU Eastern, also says it is troubling that "major problem" comes with no hard numbers attached.
"If you look at the raw, easy numbers, we have five or six [suicides] for the past year," he explains. "Do you believe that's all? I don't believe it." Even if that number is understated, however, it is still more than twice what the national average indicates it should be.
Brandt is researching records and other sources to find data that may be more conclusive. However, determining whether any given unattended death is suicide is not a cut-and-dried matter, Brandt says.
"To be called a suicide, you have to show that the victim had intent and lethal means and succeeded," he noted. So there are questions about whether things like a drug overdose or a car slamming into a tree constitute accidents or successful death wishes.
Then there are the unsuccessful attempts that compound the extent of the problem, Brandt continues. He declares that having a high incidence of people who want to end their lives shows an undercurrent of hopelessness in the culture that he and his colleagues want to overcome.
In the early days of forming the suicide prevention group, members decided to split into two sections, one for adults and the other for young people. Brandt is on both.
Youth and adults live among different peer groups, with different environments, pressures and means of coping.
Bullying is a big problem in schools, for instance. Brandt says that both the bullies and the bullied have increased risk factors for suicidal behavior, with the bullied being higher.
School districts across the state and nation are aware of the situation, and have rules for violence prevention. "Our school district is inundated with requirements and our group doesn't want to overload them," Brandt says.
Among adults, pressures such as unemployment may trigger feelings of despair. Drug use and abuse - recognized as an above-average problem in the county - are other factors.

The Best Pork Tenderloin Recipe You Will Ever Put in Your Mouth!
One of the first recipes we published on our food blog was a recipe for a pork tenderloin glaze with peaches and sweet tea vodka. It was a pork tenderloin recipe born out of a discussion we had about how wildly popular the Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka became quickly after it was introduced.
A Very Southern Main Dish Recipe
We are proud Southerners and we love Southern food and flavor elements. This dish obviously incorporates two of the biggest Southern flavors, peach and sweet tea. The combination of these flavors with the flavor of the pork is delicious, or as our son recently said, "Amazing delicious!"
But Don't Take Our Word for It
Here is what our readers have had to say about it:
"…a pork roast recipe that will seriously make you reconsider having turkey for Thanksgiving."
"I made this last night and it was delicious!"

In 1888 Benjamin Harrison was running against incumbent Grover Cleveland for president. While neither of these presidential candidates fall into the category of well known occupants of the office like George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt or John Kennedy, that particular election was the one of the most clear cut instances of the electoral college working contrary to the popular vote.
Cleveland was able to run up a huge popular vote in 18 states while Harrison won a bare majority in 20 states. When all the 11,381,032 votes that had been cast were counted, Cleveland had actually beaten Harrison by 110,476 votes. Yet when the electoral college posted their vote that December, Cleveland was out of office and Harrison would serve four years, only to be ousted by Cleveland in the election of 1892 when he became the only president to hold two terms of office not in consecutive order.
This was not the first instance of the electoral college deciding over popular vote who would be President of the United States, nor would it be the last. People often marvel at how well a document, the Constitution of the United States, that was put together over 210 years ago has continued to serve the nation, despite the changes in the society, technology and government growth. Yet when they talk about the electoral college, it is seldom in the positive.
At each close presidential election, the electoral college is always used by the media and the losing party as a whipping boy for what is wrong with the American election system. At times that label may have been well deserved, but at others it's existence may have preserved the union as people know it today.
The electoral college was formed at a time when the United States was in flux. There were only 13 states, amalgamated under a very loose confederation where each were worried not only about each others power and influence, but also were opposed to any strong central government telling them what to do. At the time there were only a little over four million people, cast over a thousand miles of Atlantic coast with poor communications. On top of that the theory of politics at the time sought to find the right person for the office, not to pick out one seeking it. In this vein, political parties were considered problematic and a national campaign was reprehensible, if not actually impossible.
The founding fathers were also concerned about a balance of power between congress and the executive branch. In searching for the right way to elect a president there were four basic ideas put forth concerning a means to achieve it.
The first idea was one in which congress would directly choose the president. That was eliminated because it was felt that it would cause too much derision within the bodies of the legislative branch and could affect the balance of power between two of the branches that were trying to achieve a "check and balance" system of power. In other words a standing president might cater too much toward the representatives instead of being concerned for the good of the country and it's citizens.
The second idea was to have each of the state legislatures elect the president. However, again this proposal was looked upon as problematic because presidents then may become beholden to certain legislatures in selected states. He might also punish those states that did not choose to elect him.
The third idea, and one that persists in those who wish to abolish the electoral college today, is to elect a president by direct popular vote. At that time, as stated above, there was poor communication throughout the country. That would mean voters would have little information about candidates outside their state or region, and "favorite son" elections might take place, putting not the best candidate in the office but the one that lived in the most populous area. With that there might also truly be "minority" presidents" elected, since in those days political parties did not exist and at each election a number of strong candidates were on the ballot.
The final idea was to have a College of Electors pick the president. The idea came from the Roman Republic where adult male citizens of Rome were divided into "Centuries" (or groups of 100). Each Centurie could cast one vote on proposals from the Roman Senate. In the case of the electoral college each state became the voting group with a certain number of votes to place for president based on that state's congressional delegation. This was the idea that struck a cord with the constitutional convention delegates.
With that idea in place, the founders of the constitution had to find a way to make it work, without corruption or bias if possible. Originally the electors themselves were chosen by the state, the meeting to cast the votes for president took place in the state itself rather than at one large meeting in the capitol and each elector had to put in two ballots with at least one of them being someone from outside their state (to eliminate the "favorite son" syndrome). In those days the man with the most electoral votes (and it had to be over 50 percent) won the presidency and the second place candidate became vice president. If there was a tie or no clear cut winner, the House of Representatives would choose who would be president out of the top five contenders. But when it came to that situation, it wasn't done by the total vote of congressional districts, each state only got one vote from it's entire delegation and the winner had to gather a majority of votes. Vice president would go to the person with the second most electoral votes, or if there were a tie there, they would be elected by the House in the same manner as the president.
That original system lasted for four presidential elections, when in 1800, after political parties had begun to form, Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Buff tied in the electoral college vote. Both belonged to the newly formed Democratic Republican Party. The House finally voted in Jefferson's favor, but not without a lot of gnashing of teeth and political fallout. Much of the political positioning to get Jefferson into the office had exposed the system for what it was, a program designed to deal with past political reality, not the present.
So in 1801 the 12th Amendment to the United States Constitution set up the electoral college as we know it today. It changed how electors voted (they must now cast one ballot for president and one for vice president) and in the case of a tie for president the House chooses the president out of the top three candidates and in the case of a vice presidential tie the Senate chooses in the same manner.
At the time there were a few people that felt the simplest solution was to go to direct vote, but communication problems still existed in the new country, and so it was never seriously considered.
Today the electoral college remains much as it was adopted in 1800, although a few changes have been made in some of the ways electors are selected. Today electors are selected almost everywhere by the vote that is cast in congressional districts. This is done not by directly voting for electors on the ballot but by indirectly voting for them voting for a particular presidential and vice presidential candidate on the ballot.
Another trend that has been adopted by all states today is the winner take all system. Simply it is as the state goes, so goes the electors. If one candidate wins the popular vote in a state, then all the votes go to that candidate. That is one of the main things that critics of the system object to.
However, nothing is really ever set in concrete. On the 2004 ballot in Colorado there is a proposal that electors be sent to vote based on the proportion of popular votes a candidate gets within that state, and that could take affect with the Nov. 2 election of this year. There are those that predict if it takes place in Colorado, it could take place in many other states in the near future. Opponents say that if the change passes there will be a challenge to it in the Supreme Court and that could affect the upcoming presidential election since the race seems to be so tight. In that case every electoral vote may count and a change in the system could determine the outcome.
Editors note: This is the first of two stories concerning the electoral college.

If you've ever stressed over co-worker gossip or worried about a homework assignment, you've probably received this classic piece of advice: "Don't sweat the small stuff." Encouraging you to focus on the bigger picture and ignore the particulars, this age-old tip is certainly helpful-except when it comes to this season's detail-oriented microtrends! From collars to buckles, designers have addressed a range of often-neglected sartorial accents recently. Even pockets are enjoying the spotlight, if the latest wardrobe choices of tastemakers like Jessica Alba and Taylor Tomasi Hill are any indication. Of course, not any pockets will do; the key is that they must come in a contrasting color! Read on for a myriad of ways to wear this high-impact look and let us know which ensemble is your favorite.
One way to execute this trend is by choosing a blouse or jacket with contrasting pockets, as demonstrated by Proenza Schouler's S/S 12 collection and Jessica Alba. At PS, designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez created an enviable look consisting of a Beige Stripe Raffia Polo ($925, 212-965-9964) and Black A-Line Eel Skin Skirt ($2650, 212-965-9964). We especially adore how leather pockets toughen up the preppiness of the collared shirt and A-line skirt, creating a well-balanced look. Alba also revealed her fondness for contrast pockets when she attended a party for the launch of The Honest Company, her new eco-friendly line of baby products, in New York last month. For the event, the actress/entrepreneur opted for a sophisticated ensemble in Jenni Kayne's Colorblock Blazer ($695) and Carrot Pants ($425). The bold black pockets turn her timeless blazer-and-pants combo into a thoroughly modern look, and the relaxed fit of her fluid separates exudes an easygoing vibe. While Alba chose neutral pocket details, we also adore the strong, contrasting hues on a stylish civilian shot by our favorite photographer, Vanessa Jackman. The striking purple and orange pairing offers a fresh way to jump on the colorblock trend, and we applaud her for pulling off this vivid outfit with aplomb!
Alternatively, you may want to test out contrasting pockets via pants. For example, at Kenzo, we were immediately drawn to the Black and Blue Stretch Cotton Denim Pants ($425, 212-965-9964, available in March). Electric blue pockets and side stripes effectively punched up these noir trousers, resulting in one truly covetable and stylish pair! Marc by Marc Jacobs also interpreted our highlighted accent in an intriguing way, featuring oversized, olive green pockets on slouchy pants. These trousers would make a fantastic addition to your nine-to-five wardrobe, as they are simultaneously professional and on-trend! Unsurprisingly, Tomasi Hill provided yet another chic approach to today's microtrend in Comme des Garcons pants that give an inside-out illusion, a clever detail indeed. We also can't help but adore her geometric Christopher Kane sweater and statement vintage necklace by Carole Tanenbaum, which add up to one expertly styled outfit; we expect nothing less from this perennial trendsetter!
Love contrasting pockets as much as we do? We have a hunch you'll be delighted with our hand-selected picks! If Alba's outerwear choice tickled your fancy, you'll surely enjoy Chinti and Parker's Contrast Pocket Cashmere Cardigan ($460), Love21's Colorblock Open Blazer ($25), and Lucca Couture's Baseball Cardigan ($64). Searching for a pocketed blouse a la Proenza Schouler and today's street style look? In that case, we wholeheartedly recommend fresh wardrobe additions like West Coast Wardrobe's Compare and Contrast Blouse ($45), Chloe K's Contrast Trim Nautical Top ($36), and Guess' Color Blocked Dress Shirt ($79). If you're in the market for an ultra feminine way to wear this detail, we've got you covered there too! Simply pick up Nanette Lepore's Miss Sunshine Contrast Dress ($398) or A/Wear's Block Pocket Shift Dress ($47), two frocks perfect for any spring outing. Finally, if you're dying for a pair of pants that feature our spotlighted accent, we think Rick Owens' Contrast Pocket Trouser ($835) fits the bill perfectly. Whichever pieces you choose, one thing's for sure: Your bold new pockets will definitely turn heads!-Erin Fitzpatrick

A new project, Nature Up North, combines technology with outdoor experiences and opportunities to help get north country residents to spend more time outside.
In todays society, kids are becoming more and more infatuated with technology, and its getting harder and harder to pull them away from their iPads, iPhones, the TV and the computer, said Nature Up North project manager Erin Siracusa. If we cant get them away from their technology and outside, then why not use their technology to get them outside?
With a new website providing maps of trails, field guides and other information about the north country, Nature Up North is an initiative to excite residents about the world around them and connect them to multiple natural world experiences such as canoeing and fishing clinics, aquatic plant and animal workshops, night hikes and camp cooking sessions.
Miss Siracusa said her position as project manager was established after St. Lawrence University was awarded a grant of $800,000 from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in New York City and gave $113,658 of it to the Nature Up North project. The grant money paid for Miss Siracusas position, helped launch the website and provided for some of the activities available to the community. The project also received a $20,000 grant from the St. Lawrence River Research and Education Fund and $18,000 from the Henry David Thoreau Foundation.
One of the reasons were doing this is because theres not really an active nature center around, said project director Erika Barthelmess. We thought it would be cool to use the web to create a virtual nature center.
Dr. Barthelmess is an associate professor of biology at St. Lawrence University who said many of her students cant identify trees in their backyards but are good with technology. Miss Siracusa said the project was Dr. Barthelmesss brainchild and that her main goal was to get the community involved.
We really want Nature Up North to be a community initiative, she said. Its about engaging north country residents. The goal is to get the community outdoors experiencing nature and, ultimately, investing in their natural surroundings and willing to protect it.
Dr. Barthelmess also said the website will act as a social media venue, providing opportunities for people to post and share their own nature experiences with others in the community. Nature Up North interns David Pynchon and Jack Holby will map trails to add to the website and run summer programs and workshops in the community, including a canoeing workshop Saturday on The Little River in Canton, Miss Siracusa said.
Although the website is still in its early design stages, more information about Nature Up North, including an events calendar, can be found at http://NatureUpNorth.org. Miss Siracusa said in the future, she hopes Nature Up North will also get an app to further engage the community.
Down the road, the ultimate goal is to build an appreciation of the natural world from which will come the need to preserve it, she said.

|CCC&TI; No More Federal Student Loans
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 18 April 2013 16:38
More than a thousand college students in Caldwell and Watauga Counties are trying to figure out tonight how they will stay in school. The Board of Trustees, in a meeting Thursday on the Hudson campus has decided to no longer accept federal student loans. Dave Faherty from WSOC-TV
reported from the college with details on the decision and reaction from students. He said, "When I arrived on campus around lunch-time, most of the students had already heard the news. By next fall, hundreds of students here will have to find another way to pay for tuition. Students like Tammie Bryant who ended up in the financial aid office at Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute this morning. The mother of four had gone back to school to become a nurse. Now she is not sure she'll be able to pay for that dream.
"Bryant said, 'I really feel anxious because I was doing this and I could see the end I'm at the end and now it is like I don't know what I'm going to have to do.' " The board of trustees voted unanimously to no longer process federal student loans. The concern was the default rate, which had climbed to more than twenty percent in 2011. Under federal guideline if the rate reaches 25-percent for a three year period, the college would be ineligible for Pell Grant aid. That would impact far more students nearly 1700. The college says students can try to get a private loan from a bank but Faherty talked to student Claude McPherson, who has been out of work for three years and can't qualify. He had returned to school hoping to start a new career. McPherson told Faherty, "My gut right now is just upside down. I don't know what else to say. It is just sad. " Faherty asked students about possibly transferring and was told two things...they like it here and there's the possibility of other community colleges making the same choice.

Product Test: Spray Tanner
We bought The Airbrush Tanning System at Sally Beauty Supply for 12.99. It promises to give you a little color without leaving you looking streaky and or orange. Our tester, Kate thought it was easy to use and for the most part did a nice job. It did look like a nice tan and not a mess.
Kate agrees that it does take some practice but it does work well and is giving it two thumbs up.

The ability to turn easily, get in and out of tight spaces, and quickly get on and off the mower to pick up debris or move obstacles all contribute to less time spent per property. The exceptional visibility of the GrandStand protects the operator, the mower and the property. The operator is better able to steer clear of obstacles, identify upcoming changes in terrain and easily pass beneath overhanging branches.
High-capacity TURBO FORCE decks deliver unsurpassed strength, a superior cut, and increased productivity in extreme mowing conditions. Equipped with a patented adjustable baffle, TURBO FORCE decks can be fine-tuned in order to conquer changing turf conditions.
The revolutionary Flex-Ride operator platform suspension* keeps operators fresh, resulting in less fatigue and higher productivity throughout the day. Best of all, the suspension system is self-compensating for operators of different sizes.
In situations where the operator may want or need to walk, Toro's foldable operator platform instantly converts the GrandStand to a walk-behind. When it's time to ride, just lower it back down - saving time, money and trailer space by eliminating the need to switch from one mower to another.
Allows operator to achieve maximum cutting performance by fine-tuning deck to conquer changing conditions, unique job sites or different times of the season. In extreme conditions, the baffle can be opened in order to conserve power and achieve faster mowing speeds. In less demanding conditions, the baffle can be closed to yield micro-sized particles and maximize discharge velocity.
Toro's rugged spindle assemblies survive impacts that would destroy lesser spindles. The cast iron housing, with a massive 9-3/8" (23.8 cm) diameter base, absorbs impact loads and distributes them across a broader area of the robust deck shell.
The wide stance and optimal weight balance of the GrandStand enhance hillside stability and control. Because there are no restrictions to limit operator motion, operators can shift weight as needed to further enhance the performance of the machine.
The GrandStand conserves space to get more machines on your trailer or allows for a smaller trailer and a lighter load. And the unique, foldable operator platform makes the product even more compact for transport or storage. Some property owners have negative reactions to larger, heavier-looking mowers, and are concerned that their lawns may be damaged. With the sleeker Toro GrandStand, that problem is eliminated.
(.250) thick precision blades resist flexing to provide a flat, crisp cut. High-strength, heat-treated alloy steel survives impacts and provides resistance to the rapid wear commonly associated with abrasive conditions. Options include Recycler® and Atomic® mulching blades, medium sail Bahai blades, and low sail sand blades.
7-gauge bull-nose bumper not only protects against frontal impacts, but also contains an integral underskirt to minimize blowout of debris and dust. The bottom, leading edge of the deck is raised 1/4" (6 mm), allowing grass to stand more upright when entering the cutting chamber, ensuring a level cut. Leaf "plowing" during spring and fall clean-up also is significantly reduced.
High performance rubber discharge chute allows for close trimming without damaging chute or landscape structures. Patented design provides exceptional clipping dispersion.
Heavy-duty, 7-gauge muffler guard protects muffler against damage.
Flat-free, semi-pneumatic caster tires
Recycler mulching kits deliver the industry's finest mulching performance and reduce mowing time up to 38% vs. bagging*.*Respondents in a Texas A&M University study cut their lawns 38% faster when they didn't bag.
Landscape friendly rubber discharge chute provides complete control of clippings. with three discharge settings, from wide open to blocked, the OCDC will put the clippings where you want them and not in beds, streets, etc. The integral design allows the discharge chute to remain in place and on the machine, reducing the risk of personal injury and property damage.
Convenient carrier holds your drink and other personal items. Bag can also be used to collect debris - multiple styles available. (Optional items)
The optional striping kit is easily installed and provides a premium "ball park" after-cut appearance.
The lights easily mount to the mower frame and wiring quickly connects to the existing accessory circuit.

Even if the US don't allow privately owned guns, it's probably gonna take a couple hundred years for it to be fully effective, considering many people have guns from their grandparents etc.

I know, I don't want them to be illegal, just regulated. I'm sick of seeing **** like this and I want to be a cop. I don't want to come into a crime scene and see every yahoo with a gun. Who can I trust?

**** like this wouldn't happen if there were no guns at all but I don't want that. I just want smarter, well trained, police officers to be the only people allowed to carry them in a holster. I want a police officer at every school to be the guy to protect our children, not you dumb rednecks who think you're John Wayne. A guy came into work with a glock on his belt looking for his wife who was a manager. I asked if he was a cop and he said no so I avoided that guy for the rest of the day. He was fat, bald and he looked like he was not fast at all. He looked like he'd be the first to be killed in this situation. Plus automatic weapons are so easy to get it's disgusting.

i own 3 automatic rifles, your logic is flawed
#58 to #56 - Keleth (12/15/2012) [-]
he didn't even use a rifle first of all, he left it in his car, and it was not automatic. he used 2 handguns, all 3 were legally owned and i REALLY doubt he has a class 3 permit. that **** is really expensive and you bet your ass they do homework on you before passing out a class 3.

So your answer is to have the teachers carry guns, instead of trying to prevent maniacs from having them?
#71 to #68 - ninjastarthrow (12/15/2012) [-]
Okay hear this, you just took the shooter out who killed a bunch of preschoolers. You think you're a hero. Cool whatever, but I'm a cop and I walk into this building full of dead kids and I look up and see you with a gun I'M GOING TO DROP YOU. Do you not get that? That **** happens all the time. You think your reflexes are that good? Your gun is useless when a guy has his gun locked and loaded on you unless you have yours on him first. They thought this guy was there to visit his mom. They let him in and he executed them before his rampage. If the principal had a gun he was executed before he could have been able to pull it. You think that won't happen to you just because you think you're John Wayne? Sadly mistaken my friend. My grandpa was a cop and he said he almost killed a tweeker who was going insane because he reached into his jacket to grab his wallet and he shot him in the shoulder thinking he was reaching for a gun. That **** happens all the time.

BUUTTTT cops are not allowed to do that. they have to tr and arrest you before they fire. unless they are threatend
#634 to #98 - ninjastarthrow (12/16/2012) [-]
They could easily say "He had his gun on us." This guy was killing kids. What cop would arrest him. My grandpa was telling me he would have killed him on sight.
#639 to #636 - ninjastarthrow (12/16/2012) [-]
Look at this guy. "Ohh I'm John Wayne, I can protect the innocent with my guns! Yoohoo Hommadinger!"

considering im from the deep dark mountains of eastern kentucky, i have no problem ending a life. If someone woulda done that around here, you wouldnt of needed the cops.

No they didnt. He walked into the school with his weapons dressed in a combat suit
#640 to #97 - ninjastarthrow (12/16/2012) [-]
He wasn't in a combat suit, The guy who shot the **** out of that Batman premier had a combat suit on. This guy was in all black and the principal thought he was there to visit his mom who is a teacher there.

He used a Bushmaster .223 AR-15, don't give me that **** "Hey if the principal was armed he could have saved the day and been a hero." Everyone wants to be a hero, that guy was wearing Kevlar under his shirt how do you know the principal would have killed him. To tell you the truth I'd trust a police officer with a gun a lot more than some hick with a concealed weapons permit. If I was a cop I'd prefer if every civilian around me wasn't armed, how could I tell who was the shooter and who is a civilian when everyone around me is holding a pistol? He stole these weapons.
#77 to #64 - penguinicus ONLINE (12/15/2012) [-]
#79 to #77 - ninjastarthrow (12/15/2012) [-]
Okay well The Principal was executed. Even if he had a gun the guy would have killed him before he could have whipped his out. The guy executed The Principal and The Counselor before he started the rampage. More guns is not the answer, you think you're going to be a hero. You have your gun out and you kill the guy, cops arrive and see a bunch of dead kids and you holding a gun. They know that this guy has already killed 20 people surrender may not be an option. How do you know the cops will know you're not the shooter. What if they shot you then found out later? Whoops looks like you're dead because you watch too many John Wayne and James Bond to know better.
#83 to #79 - penguinicus ONLINE (12/15/2012) [-]
Ummmm calm your tits/dick?
Just sayin that kevlar wouldn't completely protect a guy.
And if i just had to shoot a crazy dude who tried to kill me, i'd drop my gun pretty fast and be dang grateful i'm not dead. I wouldn't run around the school yelling and waving the gun around

Hey I'm, I'm pointing out the flaws in your argument. I know Kevlar wouldn't protect from everything but what if it did? There is a lot of factors you have to put into it. Trust me I don't like arguing about this I own a gun too but 20 preschoolers died yesterday. My little brother is in preschool I had a dream last night where that happened at his school. I woke up really scared okay? I may not like kids but they don't deserve that. I just hate it when people think they're Han Solo or John Wayne and can out shoot someone who has a gun on them already. I think realistically.

You think negatively...
what if kevlar protected them from everything? no
what if one lucky teacher with a weapon saved the day?
Sure, it might not have been able to save any of those kids, but there would've at least been a slightly higher chance of saving even one of them if ANY of the adults in that school carried. And that's all i'd want. Even a slightly better chance to protect those kids.
Wouldn't you want to try to do anything to make sure your brother is safer?

Having every teacher armed would not make me feel safe at all. Again the only person I trust with a firearm is a well trained police officer.
#57 to #56 - VincentKing (12/15/2012) [-]
as long as there are idiots out there, or a chance for someone to just snap, things like this will happen. It is sad, yes, but unfortunately it is the world we live in, and I don't see it getting any better. We constantly find new ways to harm each other, yet no one finds a way to protect each other. This world is already too far gone, and all we can do is sit, wait, and hope for the best.
#60 to #57 - ninjastarthrow (12/15/2012) [-]
I agree there is no saving this world. Some people care more about their guns than they do the safety of others. 20 children and 8 of their teachers and school staff were massacred yesterday. For no reason other than some dick lock had a grudge against his mom. I know people are going to get pissed at me and say "Hurr durr guns don't kill people, people with guns kill people." Yeah I know I'v heard it before but why must these guns be available for these psychotic nut jobs?
#63 to #60 - VincentKing (12/15/2012) [-]
believe it or not, most of the shootings actually happen with guns that aren't registered. Its those who buy them off the streets, or find a friend or family members gun that end up doing this, and all everyone else see's is an easy dollar to be made.
Although, chances are, I might snap one day and go crazy. I have aspergers so I get the creepy thoughts (the social shyness/fear is what keeps most from doing anything bad) and my bloodline seems to have a lot of killers in it. If I do go crazy though, I promise no kids will be hurt, only those who I think deserve to die.
