Action/Adventure, SciFi/Fantasy
In 1947 when the maps of India and Pakistan were being drawn, an oversight ensured that the village of Paglapur didn't find a place in either country. The village had the distinction of housing the largest mental asylum in the region and in the melee that ensued during partition, the asylum inmates broke loose, drove away the villagers and established their own republic in Paglapur. And that's how it stayed for the next 60 years! While the world outside changed, Paglapur remained isolated, with no electricity, television or sanity. Now, decades after the world forgot this village, a NASA scientist of Indian origin, Agastya and his beautiful wife find themselves on the road to Paglapur. Agastya is working on a top secret project for creating a device to communicate with aliens. So why is he in a village whose colourful inhabitants include a man who speaks in gibberish, another who thinks he is a lamp post and everyone else who think Mahatma Gandhi is still around, fighting for independence? And more importantly, what are they going to do that will soon turn the universe's spotlight on this forgotten village?

The best way you can predict the economic success of a
city is by figuring out how many adults have finished college.
Certainly, people who have a college degree tend to earn more—but so do
people who lack a diploma when they live in a city with high college
attainment. When it comes to Portland, our city gets a B-minus. The U.S.
Census Bureau's American Community Survey shows 33 percent of people 25
or older have earned a four-year degree. That puts Portland No. 17 out
of 51 top metro areas. First place? Washington, D.C., with 46.8 percent,
followed by the Bay Area and Boston. Riverside, Calif., is last.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
There is hope and life after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, according to Danny Velasquez.
Velasquez was diagnosed with the illness which can have drastic physical, psychological and financial impacts in 1997. And since learning of the opportunities available within the Utah chapter of the National MS Society, he has dedicated his life to local, state and national MS organizations and activities.
Velasquez was honored at the 2007 Dinner of Champions by the society, receiving the organization's living with hope award. The honor recognizes community champions, according to the MS society.
"I was diagnosed when I was 37," said Velasquez. "And at that time, I had been experiencing symptoms for almost three years not knowing what was going on. When I was diagnosed there was no information or support groups for anyone with MS in the Carbon and Emery area."
According to Velasquez, the situation changed when Dee Dee Fox of the national society came to the Castle Valley area and started a local MS support and educational group.
"Dee Dee was really a God sent but it was difficult in the beginning to get local people to step up and help lead the program, so me and my wife, Tami, became involved," explained Velasquez. "The Carbon-Emery MS support group is now here to continue helping those with MS cope with the disease."
Velasquez reported that his worst symptoms include severe vertigo which leads to nausea that has resulted in his hospitalization twice.
On a daily basis Velasquez fights chronic fatigue and cognitive impairment which can make it difficult for him to function. He works full-time as a control room operator for PacifiCorp in addition to attending college.
"I have gone back to college to try and keep my mind fresh," said Velasquez. "Your mind is like a muscle and if you don't exercise it, it gets soft on you."
According to MS society information, the disease interrupts the flow of information from the brain to the body and stops individuals from moving.
Every hour in the United States, someone is diagnosed with MS, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system.
Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot be predicted but advances in research and treatment are moving closer to a cure.
The society reports that most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, with more than twice as many women as men contracting the disease. MS affects more than 400,000 people in the United States, over 13,000 Utahns and 2.5 million world wide.
"The number of individuals diagnosed with MS is 180 percent of the national average here in Carbon and Emery counties," said Velasquez. "That is why education and support are so vital here."
MS is attributed to a combination of environmental and genetic factors, occurring more frequently among people of northern European ancestry and in higher latitudes north of the equator, according to society data.
Utah is located in a temperate latitude north of the equator with many Utahns being of Northern European heritage, resulting in one of the highest incidence rates of MS in the nation.
Information from the MS society states, "MS stops people from moving, the National MS Society exists to make sure it doesn't." This statement has held true for Velasquez.
According to information given during his award ceremony, he has just finished his first draft of a book dealing with the effects that multiple sclerosis has upon men, titled: Many Surprises - A Man's Perspective of Living with Multiple Sclerosis.
In spite of living with multiple sclerosis, the Carbon County resident is determined to enjoy his life.
"I have found that there is so much more to experience and enjoy in my life, with or without MS," said Velasquez.

However, I am a little concerned towards how much success he could have as GM simply because I am unaware of his talents in certain aspects such as trades, signing international talent, and the other usual GM traits that are often foreign to a manager.
I think Buck may be best staying in the Dugout and hiring someone who is not far off his own values and beliefs. Just as an example, Jon Hart is one name being thrown out there.

John McGraw was the last GM (owner)/manager I can think of and the game has changed too much since then for one person to handle both roles. Let's hire the right guy, convince Peter Angelos that he will need to substantially increase his investment into the player development process, and start the rebuilding process.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — At its current level of profitability, it will take Facebook Inc. until mid-2013 at the earliest to earn enough operating income just to offset its annual stock-compensation costs.
An analysis of the company's latest securities filing reveals that unless Facebook FB, -0.15% significantly improves its operating margin, these costs — which totaled $2.3 billion as of Sept. 30 — will be enough to prevent the social network from earning a bottom-line profit for at least two more quarters.
That in turn will make its shares less attractive during that time to fund managers and other professional stock buyers who look for value as well as growth when choosing stocks.
Facebook's massive stock-compensation bill shows the cost to common shareholders of the company's generosity in handing out equity to employees, executives and early investors. Any net income Facebook might have generated in the near future already has been given away in advance, in the form of free equity, to these insiders.
Because new stock-compensation charges and related taxes will be incurred on Jan. 1, adding to the existing total, Facebook's per-share earnings may continue to be wiped out by these costs beyond next year.
Facebook's third-quarter results provided a snapshot of this effect, as those insiders who were free to sell their shares did so in large numbers, generating huge expenses for the company.
The company reported that operating income fell 9% to $377 million in the quarter, hurt by surging expenses that included $179 million in stock-compensation costs. Further down the income statement, a $431 million quarterly tax charge for stock compensation swung Facebook to a loss of 2 cents a share, compared with a profit of 10 cents a year earlier.
Together these compensation charges and related taxes cost Facebook approximately 20 cents a share in the third quarter, net of a small, related tax benefit.
Each time insiders sell, or when Facebook issues new shares to pay for all or part of an acquisition (as it did when buying Instagram), the company's compensation bill goes up.
Massively diluted stock
At the root of the problem for Facebook common stockholders is the massive share count. The company has about twice the number of shares outstanding as either Apple Inc. AAPL, +0.17% or International Business Machines Corp. IBM, -1.01% even though those companies went public decades ago.
for tech companies
|8.42 billion
|5.3 billion
|4.98 billion
|2.17 billion
|1.18 billion
|1.13 billion
|941 million
|653 million
|453 million
|328 million
Facebook also has more than six times the number of shares outstanding as Google Inc. GOOG, +0.87% which went public in 2004. (See accompanying chart.) Within the tech sector, only long-established bellwether names such as Microsoft Corp. MSFT, -0.23% Cisco Systems Inc. CSCO, -0.39% Intel Corp. INTC, -0.53% and Oracle Corp. ORCL, -0.58% have common shares that are more diluted than Facebook's.
The amount of equity Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg either kept for himself and employees or sold to pre-IPO investors — such as Goldman Sachs, Russia's DST and several venture-capital firms — have diluted significantly the stakes available to retail investors in the public markets. On top of that, the company's IPO was enormous, adding to its share count.

If you're a sparkle enthusiast like me I have good news for you! You don't have to put away all your sequin clothes just yet…Take a look at some of the ways that I love to wear sequins after NYE. It may be a little difficult to pull off a sequin dress after NYE, but this may be due to the cliche NYE dress that's so popular for NY. As for sequin pants, and shorts, those are the way to go! As much as I love sequin pants, its very easy to appear as if you're coming from an 80's disco. So….the easiest way to avoid any confusion with a disco, take the sequin shorts route all the way!
For a great condensed list of sequin shorts take a look at this link: http://www.result.ly/Search/sequin%20shorts
If you're not looking to spend a lot on these shorts I would suggest looking at stores such as H&M and Forever 21. I found an adorable pair of sequin shorts at Forever 21 for only $21!! With items this cheap you have to be super weary of the fabric falling apart or even the length of the material. After trying on these shorts at Forever 21 they were way to short!! I loved the sequin pattern, but the length was way too short (which was highly unflattering), and the sequins looked like they were about to fall off.
After looking at numerous cheaper stores, such as Forever 21 and H&M I had no luck in finding the right pair of sequin shorts. However, I did find an affordable pair at Anthropology! Take a look at these cute, high-waisted sequin shorts:
If you're looking to go the classy route, go for these! They are high-waisted so you can wear them with a tucked in shirt or tank, or wear them with a peplum shirt just like the model did here. I love how they look with some sheer black tights also. This would be a perfect look for a more formal event wear you're trying to change your look up a little. These shorts are $60, so they are a little pricier, but not crazy overpriced. However, I didn't end up going for these because I don't like how they flare out at the bottom. This flaring could help make your legs appear thinner, but it could also work against you.
I found the perfect pair of sequin shorts on Tobi!! Unfortunately they cost $120, but they are stunning and look gorgeous on. These aztek print sequin shorts are colorful, the right length and perfect for many occasions.
These shorts look great with a cropped top; a loser one preferentially only because the shorts are on the tighter side. I haven't tried them on with sheer tights yet, but that may work…
I personally love them without any tights, and with pointed toed platforms. But, be careful to not go too high with heel, since the shorts are still a little bit on the shorter side. Because these shorts are high-waisted, the length looks great.
I can't believe that combat boots are still triumphing in the fashion world today. It seems that some fads seem to die fast. For example, off the top of my head I can list a few: berkenstocks, church girl shirts, juicy couture track suits etc. However, there are many trends that I would have expected to die out that continue to persevere in the fashion world. First most surprising one are Ugg boots. Yes, the ugly Australian "beach shoes" that people chose to wear in the winter are domineering to this day. This also has to do with the fact that the Ugg company has expanded their style of shoes. Uggs used to just include the long or short boots, but then Ugg introduced slippers, loafers, and even cute stylish "non-suede" boots. So as far as the combat boots, I think it is in a similar pattern. Combat boots used to be very basic. Black grungy combat lace-up boot. Now, there are all sorts of boot lengths, colors, combat heeled boots, and one of the most popular now are the fold over combat boots.
Take a look at this snap of a few high-fashion models sporting fold over combat boots:
The great thing about fold over combat boots is that you can wear them with pretty much anything. The model on the left and right look very chic and classic, but they add some variety to their outfit by adding the combat boots. The model in the middle looks a little more grungy (matching the style of the combat boots) with her frayed and flared out skirt.
I love the way the fold over combat boots look. I actually don't own a pair of fold over combat boots, but I have a regular lace-up black combat boots. I've been looking for the fold-over combat boots because I think they are a great mix to the regular old combat boot. Here's a cute pair I found in Macy's:
If you're looking for a classic fold over combat boot, this one is for you. Its super affordable, the leather looks well made, and its the perfect length hitting about mid-calf.
If you're looking for a warm winter fold over combat boot, I found a perfect pair on Zappos. I love combat boots, but they aren't always the warmest of boots. But, I also hate wearing my big chunky fur Sorrel boots. I'm definitely getting these Steve Madden boots: http://www.zappos.com/steve-madden-cuddle-f-black-leather
I can't wait until these arrive. Per usual, the weather in Chicago has been unpredictable, ranging from 12 degrees to 50 degrees, but I would say I'm safe to wear these fold over fur combat boots. I also found some other really cute fur fold over combat boots and some other varieties on Resultly.
As much as I complained about certain trends that have not ended yet, I will admit I was also a customer of Ugg, Church Girl shirts, berkenstocks, you name it. This doesn't mean you can't change up the trend and make it look a little original and different. So, with these combat boots I decided to go with the fur fold over combat boots to be a little "unique".
Ankle strap flats are a great way to dress up any look! I'm all about wearing flats, they are comfy and cute, especially ones that have a strap, they are a great way to dress up any look! I'm obsessed and I'm here to tell you why you should be obsessed as well. They are so cute.
I'm just loving this super cute style. From pointy to flats to the traditional rounded toe flats, make sure they have a strap!
I recently found this great app and it is a great resource to find ankle strap flats. It is called Resultly! It is a pretty cool shopping app in general, but when I did my search for ankle strap flats I was given so many great results. You can check them out here: http://www.result.ly/Search/ankle%20strap%20flats Just so many fun options.
Now I'm going to show you some of my favorite ways to wear this great new style. They are a great way to dress up a pair of jeans. You can also totally get away with wearing this fun style with a skirt or dress! Weather it is an evening out or a day in the office you've got to get on top of this shoe trend.
As I was saying before, ankle strap flats are a great wardrobe investment since you can dress them down and dress them up with ease. Check out this blog for even more info on how to do so! http://www.harpersbazaar.com/fashion/fashion-articles/how-to-wear-ankle-strap-flats I just love how versatile this shoe is!
From denim to evening wear these flats really hold up. I also really like how they add such a classy vibe to any look. I'm super obsessed with that black top and skirt look! Isn't it chic.
Ankle strap flats are such a great shoe for those nights you do not want to wear heels. I'm pretty tall, and these are a must when I don't want to be towering over my friends! They are also perfect for a night full of dancing or if you are spending the day walking around town.
Speaking of, if you are planning a vacation, I would strongly suggest packing a neutral pair of ankle strap flats since they are so versatile.
I purchased mine from Nordstrom, and I love them. I'm constantly getting compliments on them. Seriously, they are like my favorite purchase ever. I would highly suggest purchasing a pair that are of a nicer quality.
Alright, thats all ladies! Go out and get those ankle strap flats!
Blue is my favorite color. I do not have blue colored eyes but whenever I wear this color, I feel that my facial features are being highlighted and it seems to be a very calm color, which does not make my look aggressive or dull but just an in-between since a friend of mine said that my face looks very stern like a librarian.
I think I own about every shade of blue that the fashion industry has released and now, I have my eyes set on this color, Cobalt Blue.
I have been seeing a lot of dresses with this color so I got intrigued and being a fanatic, I have to get myself one no, let me correct that I need to get one.
Resultly's website has a lot of offerings for this dress and one of them is this Guess cobalt blue dress.
I think this color is a cross between electric blue and royal blue. It looks very regal, like the color of royalty. If I own this dress, I would not accessorize much. The dress and the color in itself can stand on its own. Black pointed pumps can be paired off with this dress if you plan to wear this on a very important client meeting or strappy sandals if you will be going out for a date. This dress is perfect for those first dates since you want to make a first impression with that guy, right? You can accentuate the look by maybe adding a scarf over your neck or a long faux pearl necklace.
Laidback cobalt blue dresses are also famous for the celebrities. Instyle.com has even featured dresses worn by Blake Lively, Zoeey Deschanel even what was worn by the Duchess of Cambridge. Want to steal their look? Check this link from Resultly: http://www.result.ly/Search/cobalt%20blue%20dress to get more casual cobalt dresses to choose from.
Seeing these fashion inspirations made me love this color more. I don't think it is not that hard to pair off this color. Blake Lively was even able to pair her cobalt blue dress with coral strappy sandals!
There really is no need to convince me to get one because I definitely will! I just need to look for my credit card so that I can start purchasing these dresses. Did I just say dresses? Oh yes, I plan to purchase two or three cobalt blue dresses. You will never know how many blue dresses that you will need for the whole year, right? LOL! Purchase justified!
So last weekend my girl friends and I are on our way downtown to go out in the city. As we're in the cab heading to the bar, my one friend says, "do you guys want to stop by the boys to pregame?" The boys being her guy friends from college, so we say sure, whynot. Tell the cabbie to keep heading up north until we get to their bach pad. I had met them a few times before but naturally I had to reintroduce myself. Nice guys, but is my face really not that memorable? Rude. So we're talking, standing around the kitchen, etc, then we finally decide to hit up the bar scene. So off we go, hop in the cabs, get to the bars and order a drink. We're standing around cheering, talking, flirting, having a great time. Long story short and I'll skip the gory details, but I hit it off with one of the guys. He was nice, fun, and super cute- nothing more a girl needs. The night lasted a while, we had such a fun time which led into a great morning. The girls and I left, headed home, wondering what had just happened and where this would take us.
Well it took me to a date night, and this is where I know you guys are interested! So, he asked me on a date and I undoubtedly said yes. Dinner and drinks sounded good to me, so now it's time for the juicy details: MY OUTFIT!
I had this super amazing red dress I bought from Lulu's that I really wanted to wear. I had bought it for a family shindig in Viva Las Vegas, and was waiting for a time to wear it out.
We planned to go out at 8pm. The perfect time for a date. So now that I had the dress picked out, I needed the shoes. After major contemplation as to what style and color I thought would look best, I decided to go with the MICHAEL Michael Kors Pointed Toe Leopard Booties. I Found them using this cool app called Resultly!
I'm literally freaking out just looking at these gorgeous pieces of gold. Nothing could have gone better with the dress, and I think he seemed to agree. If you want to feel bold, confident, and beautiful, on a first date, 300th date, or any occasion in between, leopard and red is the way to do it. It might even be the ultimate way to a man's heart. No stats behind that… yet
Let me know if there's other occasions you want me to post the perfect outfits about, but here you have it for my spicy first date out!
Out of all the different styles of dresses, the peplum skirt is by far the most popular. For one, on all the Red Carpet events I have seem numerous celebrities wear them. Take a look at this snapshot of all these different celebrities strutting the red carpet in either peplum skirts or peplum dresses:
It seems that this is all the same peplum dress, but there are numerous times I could count celebs wearing peplum to some event. However, I have noticed that for most of the occasions that I have seen them worn, black was a popular color. Perhaps its because the peplum shape itself brings so much extra curvature to one's figure that black keeps it toned down. I have seen colored peplum skirts worn really well, but black is a more popular choice.
I was never really enthralled by peplum. Whether it was a peplum top, skirt or dress I have been hesitant to wear any of those styles. The reason for this disinterest in peplum is because it is so easy to choose a color or brand that is unflattering. Like I said, the peplum style is simply an extra layer of material that is usually placed at the hips, often adding more of a curve or extension to your hips. If the material used to create the dress is good quality and the color is right you can make it work. I found a few on Resultly that were great choices.
I also found a nice peplum skirt that is perfect for NYE! Take a look at this cute gold peplum skirt I found on Tobi.
I love this peplum skirt for NYE! Even though the color is a brighter gold, I don't think it should be unflattering. The material seems to be strong enough to keep everything in place. I also like how the peplum in this case doesn't extend too far out on the sides, and is more of a material surround the entire top half of the skirt. This skirt is about $40, so if you're not looking to spend too much money for a NY dress, simply pair it with a crop top or body suit and you're ready for the night!
If you're looking for a more conservative peplum skirt, but are willing to spend some more dinero, I found a great one on Nasty Gal.
This is a great skirt if you're looking for some structure and sexiness in your skirt. The peplum design at the top adds some definition and the slit in the front adds sex appeal to the long black skirt. You can pair it with an oversized tee like they did with this model, or you can pair it with a crop top or body suit. I love this skirt because you can wear it to a work event, family party or wear it on a night out with your friends. Simply change the top depending on what occasion you are getting ready for. Since the long pencil like skirt already hugs the skirt the slit helps lift this tightness from the entire look. I also like that it is high waisted. The tight fit at the waist helps flatter your figure. I hope one of these peplum skirts will be one of your choices!
A friend of mine has sent out a dinner invite to me with a theme "Dress Like a Man". After turning the card over, there was a note saying, "Dress in your best Tux". I initially thought it was a joke but when I RSVP'd, I did ask her what the codes were all about.
She was mum about it but kept telling me to wear my best tuxedo. Since I do not have a tuxedo with me and it was a bit late to have one made, I searched Google for Tuxedos and got intrigued because there was a suggestive phrase, tuxedo dress.
I clicked on that and I was brought to a certain kind of fashion that I have never known – tuxedo dress. Okay, before you all hit the X button on me, let me explain. Yes, I know what tuxedos are. Men wear them on formal events but tuxedos for women? What I envision is a tuxedo being worn by a woman paired with dress pants. Right?
I browsed through online and did actually see a lot of nice tuxedo dresses at Resultly and Ebay.
I think Jennifer Lawrence and I have the same idea of what a tuxedo dress is – an oversized tuxedo.
I stumbled upon a Rachel Zoe dress and it was gorgeous. The tuxedo lining was kept as the main focus of the dress and instead of it just being a bland tuxedo jacket; she overlapped the satin lining and created a large pleat in the middle making it a simple shift dress. This can be paired with a boots or strappy heels depending on where you would be going, I guess.
As the hunt for the dress continues, I was also led to check dresses here on Resultly. Click here to see. There were different cuts of the tux that made it interesting for yours truly.
I don't think I have seen any other color for this dress other than black, white or the combination of both. Because of this, I think you can inject colors on your accessories like your shoes, bags or neckpieces but of course if you would want to let the masculine effect stay, it is best to just stick with the color palette.
Since this dress has really interest me, I think I might need to get two of these dresses because it will not only be perfect for that dinner party but I can also include this in my work wardrobe. Remember, one can never have too many dresses.
Now, I need to check if I have the shoes to go with it. Also, need to make a mental note to thank my friend for this. Laters!

KCTS 9 Cooks: Kitchen Classics
I like these kitchen ideas. I have showed this post to my wife. click this link i came know a lot.
A lot of companies have chosen to downsize, and maybe that was the right thing for them. We chose a different path. Our belief was that if we kept putting great products in front of customers, they would continue to open their wallets.
I keep hoping one day PBS will make it easier for people who don't have $65 to plop down (especially in these still difficult economic times for many; REAL unemployment is 14% per Senator Bernie Sanders)to split it into three monthly payments...is there a snowball's chance in hell she said hopefully...?
We are working on adding a premium option to our sustainer (monthly giving) program. Needs a lot of work on the technical end, but look for it to debut in our August pledge drive!
I was told the cookbook offered in the latest fund raiser is being printed! is this true? as it is on the program today as well as two weeks ago. i am anxious to use this cookbook and also have concerns about the mail delivery where i live!
We're a bit behind on this one -- it will be ready to ship next week! If there's an on-air recipe you need ASAP, let me know!
Hello Jeri,
Yes, the cookbook is available here: https://kcts9.org/donate/kitchen-classics
Hope this helps!
KCTS 9 Staff
I would love to purchase the cookbook, but I only want an e-book, not a disk or hardback. Is this possible?
I had to leave the tv just at the end of the show KCTS 9 Cooks: Kitchen Classics and missed the very end of the segment for Flaming Cambodian Meatballs. Where can I see the end of the segment, or at least get the recipe?
Hello Mrs. Currie,
The individual segments will be posted soon, but for now you can watch the entire episode (and fast-forward to your desired segment) on our YouTube channel.
Hope this helps!
KCTS 9 Staff
Unfortunately, I no longer receive this PBS station with my provider. I really miss the KCTS cooking shows. Is there anywhere I can look at some of the recipes in this new cookbook?
Hi Cheryl,
The new show will be live-streamed online on this page. You can also order the cookbook if you want. Or, you can watch past Cooks shows online as well.
Hope this helps!

The skills necessary for effective administration of a school are learned, not intuitive. Each year a number of teachers take the first step to secure certification as a school administrator. A knowledge base for administrators for 21st century school leaders includes data analysis, instructional leadership, organizational management, and providing equity for diverse learners.
At Shippensburg University, we prepare students to successfully serve as school administrators. Faculty with real-world experience and insights provide a well-rounded educational leadership master's program for our students. Faculty help prepare graduate students for diverse administrative responsibilities upon completion of our PA master's program.
The College of Education and Human Services offers a Master's of Education in School Administration that includes certification as a principal and/or supervisor for teachers who wish to move into educational leadership and policy, and/or who wish to prepare for a doctoral program in educational leadership and policy. Post-master's programs are also available for certification of K-12 principals and the superintendent's letter of eligibility. Post-master's degree programs for the supervisory certificate in 12 fields of specialization are as follows:
MEd in School Administration: Educational Leadership
Post-master's K-12 Principal Certification
Post-master's Supervisory I Certification (communication/English, counseling, early childhood education, elementary education, environmental education, mathematics, modern languages, pupil services, reading, science, social studies, and special education)
Superintendent's Letter of Eligibility
To qualify as a candidate for the MEd in Educational Leadership, you must complete 33 credits of graduate study as follows:
Candidates must complete an oral competency interview before completing the program.
The post-master's certification programs require a minimum of 15 credits at Shippensburg University. A candidate who has completed a master's degree other than the MEd in Educational Leadership at Shippensburg University will not be required to complete a second master's degree; however, additional courses will be necessary for attaining the specified competencies.
Because of the diversity of applicant educational backgrounds and experiences, upon admission to the program, planned courses will be developed on an individual basis with your advisor from the department. A minimum of 15 credits at Shippensburg University is required.
In the supervisory certification programs, requirements vary according to specialty area, with a minimum of 15 credits at Shippensburg University. For information on the requirements in specific areas of specialization, call or write to:

Pennsylvania Department of Education requires a passing score on the
School Leaders Licensure Assessment for K-12 principal and superintendent's letter of eligibility applicants. The test is typically taken during the final semester of study. Applicants for single-subject supervisory certification must receive a passing score on the
Supervisory Praxis Exam.
A strength of the program is the required 360-hour field-based internship during which prospective administrators experience the relationship of theory to practice and attempt to answer this question: What are the things a school administrator does that contribute meaningfully to student learning?
Over the years, Shippensburg University has built and maintains excellent relationships with the schools and school districts of Central Pennsylvania. In consultation with a faculty advisor, students determine which school, school leader, and school district will provide the best hands-on practical experience in school leadership. Through this practicum, students are directly involved in administrative experiences. Typically, the practicum experiences are spread across two semesters, with the specific goal of participating in school leadership across the entire scholastic calendar. Students who are interested in pursuing a PA educational leadership master's degree will develop individual experiences during their practicum placement that can help mold their future career.
While enrolled at Shippensburg University, students find their professors to be a highly supportive group who respect personal educational goals and treat students as fellow scholars. Students also enjoy sharing common interests and ambitions among their fellow classmates. Both of these factors provide for a pleasant, challenging learning environment.
The Ezra Lehman Memorial Library's education database collection is excellent. Within the library, there are resources with a high degree of relevance to your studies because many of them were provided by practicing school administrators in central Pennsylvania, such as: dissertations, collective bargaining agreements, policy manuals, annual reports, newsletters, and other materials related to the administration of schools.
Each member of the
graduate faculty in the Department of Educational Leadership & Policy holds an earned doctorate and holds (or has held) an administrative position in education. We encourage students to meet with faculty and advisors to learn about Shippensburg's educational leadership master's degree program.

With great fanfare, the American Planning Association (APA) reported results of a recent survey the group conducted, (Planning America: Perceptions and Priorities) showing that the anti-Agenda 21 "crowd is slim." Said the report, only 6% of those surveyed expressed opposition to Agenda 21, while 9% expressed support for Agenda 21 and 85%, "the vast majority of respondents, don't know about Agenda 21."
Typically, APA is using the survey to formulate the image that opponents to Agenda 21/ Sustainable Development are just a lunatic fringe with no standing and of no consequence in the "real" world. They continue to portray Agenda 21 as simply a 20 year old idea, and just a suggestion that planners and local governments might consider.
However, a closer look at the full survey, plus some additional APA reports reveal some interesting, and in some cases, astounding facts.
First the survey:
It was designed to show support for Planning. This has become an obsession with the "planning community" because Agenda 21 and Sustainable Development have become the center of protests by property owners and those who feel government has grown too big and powerful. So the APA has launched a series of efforts to fight back. These include conducting a "boot camp" to train their legions of planners across the nation on how to deal with anti-Agenda 21 protestors.
According to the APA, the findings of the Survey reveal that: Only one-third believe their communities are doing enough to address economic situations; Very few Americans believe that market forces alone (the free market) improve the economy or encourage job growth; 84 % feel that their community is getting worse or staying the same; Community planning is seen as needed by a wide majority of all demographics; and of course, that 85% of Americans just don't know enough to hold an opinion about Agenda 21.
Those are pretty astounding findings. Looks like these "honest" planners have their fingers on the pulse of the nation. And as the APA constantly reminds us in their materials, "there is no hidden agenda,"(as in Agenda 21).

When Eddie woke up with itchy red bumps on his arm and back, his mom told him it was just a case of hives and it would be gone in a few days. After a couple of weeks, though, the hives weren't any better. Eddie's mom thought he should see a doctor.
The doctor looked at Eddie's skin and asked him some questions about his recent activities and his diet. He told Eddie that he had chronic urticaria — the medical name for long-lasting hives — and prescribed an antihistamine to treat the condition.
The medical name for hives is urticaria. It's a common condition that causes raised red bumps or welts to appear on the skin (some hives have a pale center as well).
Hives can be itchy; sometimes they also burn or sting. Usually, they're harmless and last anywhere from half an hour to a couple of days. New hives can show up to replace the old ones as they fade, though. So the condition can go on for a while.
Doctors put hives into two categories:
The raised red bumps that we call hives can appear anywhere on the body. Here are some signs to watch for:
In a few rare cases, hives are part of a serious allergic reaction called anaphylaxis.
Most often, people get hives as part of an allergic reaction. Hives also can be the body's way of reacting to temperature extremes, stress, infections, or illnesses.
The red blotches happen when cells in the bloodstream (mast cells) release the chemical histamine. This causes tiny blood vessels under the skin to leak. The fluid pools within the skin to form spots and larger blotches.
When an allergic reaction causes hives, they usually show up within minutes. Some of the more common allergies that cause hives include:
Sometimes hives have nothing to do with allergies. Other causes include:
It's not always obvious why someone has hives. If hives come and go quickly, most people don't give them much thought. But chronic hives (those that last for more than a few weeks) can be more worrying.
Chronic urticaria is sometimes linked to an immune system illness, like lupus. Other times, medications, food, insects, or an infection can trigger an outbreak. Often, though, doctors don't know what causes chronic hives. The good news is, hives can be treated.
Usually a doctor will look at a person's skin and be able to say it's hives without doing anything else. With chronic hives, the doctor will ask more questions to determine why they've been going on so long. He or she may also do some tests, like blood tests or allergy tests, to rule out other conditions.
A doctor may put ice on a person's skin to see how it reacts to cold or place a sandbag or other heavy object on the thighs to see if pressure causes hives to appear.
If you have chronic hives, the doctor may ask you to keep a diary that includes:
If hives are mild, they'll probably go away on their own without treatment. If something is definitely causing a person to get hives (called a trigger), the doctor will recommend avoiding that trigger.
If hives are very itchy, a doctor may recommend taking an antihistamine to block the release of histamine in the bloodstream. For chronic hives, doctors may prescribe a non-sedating or over-the-counter antihistamine that should be taken every day.
Not everyone responds to the same medications, though. If you have chronic hives, it can take some time and patience for you and your doctor to figure out the right treatment. If a non-sedating antihistamine doesn't work, your doc might suggest a stronger antihistamine or another medication or a combination of medicines.
In rare cases, a doctor may prescribe an oral steroid to treat chronic hives. Typically this will only be done for short periods (5 days to 2 weeks).
Anaphylaxis and severe attacks of hives require immediate medical care. People who know they have serious allergies may need to carry an injectable shot of epinephrine for use in emergencies.
Fortunately, serious attacks of hives are extremely rare. Most of the time, they're completely harmless and go away on their own. Even chronic hives can sometimes clear up on their own within a few months to a year.

Hello all, I am experiencing a problem with IP fragmentation.
I am receiving an udp packet that is larger than the MTU and it is fragmented along the network.
I am receiving the two fragments but they are not being reassembled correclty.
The MTU of the system is 1500 and I cannot increase it, because I am getting this error: SIOCSIFMTU: Numerical result out of range.
Is it necessary to build the kernel with support for jumbo frames?
There's any option that should be enabled on the kernel (126.96.36.199) to support this feature? Shouldn't this be a default feature?
Any hint that may assist in debugging this issue is welcome.
The first packet it is considered (bad) as a complete packet and I am getting an error at the app level.
The second packet is the last part of the fragment which should be ignored completely:
As reference I am sending the same packet to my laptop which is implementing correctly the fragmentation re-assembly:

Long Division
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Fri, 05/26/06, 03:06pm:
Here's an interesting exercise, Naçion members...
The Los Angeles Clippers average 94 possessions per game. Of those 94 possessions, about 13 result in turnovers (though a good number of those are offensive fouls). So let's say, hypothetically, that the Clippers get 85 possessions per game that don't result in a turnover of the bonehead variety.
Very generally (forgetting the imperfection of said
exercise), how are you allocating those possessions?
How many shots for Elton on an average night (keeping in mind that a trip to the line qualifies as a possession, though an offensive put-back doesn't count as a new possession)? Chris Kaman? How many times should Livingston attack the rim or post up the smaller PGs that inevitable guard him? How many possessions do you reserve for Cassell PUJITs? If you, like Trapp, believe that Maggette is the "better player" on the wing and should be a cornerstone of the offense, how many of these 85 possessions are his? How many sets do you run for Vlad to get him an open look (and, as Justin often notes, Vlad needs plays run for him)? What about Cat, who averaged 13 possessions per game this season? The Naçion has been hankering for Singleton to see more minutes - so how many shots? And Q is going to have some great open looks off the Brand double-team that he'd be foolish not to take, shots he's been drilling with proficiency and that he needs to shoot to keep the defense honest. How many?
Please show your work.

Le Havre
Drama, Comedy
In this warmhearted portrait of the French harbor city that gives the film its name, fate throws young African refugee Idrissa into the path of Marcel Marx, a well-spoken bohemian who works as a shoeshiner. With innate optimism and the unwavering support of his community, Marcel stands up to officials doggedly pursuing the boy for deportation. A political fairy tale that exists somewhere between the reality of contemporary France and the classic cinema of Jean-Pierre Melville and Marcel Carné, Le Havre is a charming, deadpan delight.

I need some good cartographic eyes on a couple of maps that for some reason are stumping me. They are draft range maps for wolves and coyotes in the PNW that will be in a book that is soon to be published (12 maps in total). This work has been done on my own time (more or less pro-bono), and i simply have way too much on my plate at the moment to keep scratching my head on how to make this more clear to the map reader, without resorting to a striped overlap or some such thing. Aka, i could really use the wealth of expertise on cartotalk. All feedback and map examples will be greatly appreciated!
Keep mapping,

Becky Robbins, Contributing writer
The key to losing weight and being healthier is to eat better and eat less. Starting down the path to better eating is a big step. Sometimes you will stumble, but you need to pick yourself up and keep going. There may be a few hidden items in your diet that may be causing you to trip up.
Here are five of the most prominent offenders.
Who doesn't enjoy that morning coffee break? A nice venti cocoa mocha latte or something with an equally long name hits the spot. However, that drink may contain between 290 and 700 calories, according to Starbucks.com -- and that is before adding the whipped cream.
If you stop for one every day of the week, you are consuming between 2,030 and 4,900 calories. For an average person, 3,500 calories can add one pound to your body. That means possibly adding that much each week.
Calories are not the only factor to consider when looking at frothy beverages. You could be consuming between 9 and 27 grams of fat, not to mention between 13 and 95 grams of sugar. That is a lot to think about when choosing beverages.
It does not mean you have to completely cut lattes out of your diet. Cutting back on your consumption and switching to the "skinny" versions that use nonfat or skim milk would save you thousands of calories a year.
When some people make a sandwich, it is second nature to spread on the mayo. However, regular mayonnaise packs a punch of 110 calories and 12 grams of fat per tablespoon. A sandwich a day with mayonnaise means 770 calories just from the mayo. Jumping rope for an hour would only burn 730 of those calories.
The best bet would be to substitute mustard or even hummus in place of that mayonnaise. A teaspoon of mustard, which is a serving size, has no calories. Hummus has 30 calories and 1.5 grams of fat per tablespoon. Both will cut calories and still prevent you from eating a dry sandwich.
Salad Dressing
Greens are an extremely healthy part of any diet. You have to be careful what tops that salad, though. Dressings can be the enemy of a dieter. They make that salad just a bit more flavorful, but just a tablespoon of a full-fat dressing can pack 50 calories onto your meal. At a salad per day, that tablespoon of dressing on each salad equals about 5 pounds a year.
Finding lower-calorie alternatives allows you to still spice up your salad. Balsamic vinegar is a healthier alternative for your greens.
Energy Bars
Energy bars are well-known for being full of the vitamins and minerals that your body needs.
However, that little bar is also packed full of calories. Some energy bars have 200 calories. That's great for an athlete who need to maintain fuel without a lot of bulk, but as a snack, that is a lot of calories. It would be healthier to reach for a piece of fruit or some crunchy fresh vegetables at snack time.
Fruit will still give you that quick energy boost you are looking for.
If you occasionally eat energy bars as a meal, they will not bust your diet.
Yogurt is a healthy choice most of the time. However, whole-fat yogurts contain more saturated fat than low-fat options. Today, the low-fat versions are just as creamy, leaving you to wonder how they keep it all tasting so similar. Low-fat counterparts tend make up for the fat by increasing the amount of sugar. This will not help you on the healthy diet front.
Your best bet when choosing yogurts is to stick with a low-fat, plain variety. You can stir in your own fresh fruit or some other type of sweetener. However, you will be keeping the amount of sugar low. So, keep yogurt in your diet, but make sure your choices do not have too much fat or sugar.
Before sticking that food in your shopping cart, be sure to read the label. Packages can be deceiving with positive words such as "yogurt," "fruit" or even "whole grain." So check out the nutritional facts before you add it to your diet.
