Samantha's story
When our daughter Samantha was born six weeks premature, she had a host of medical problems. When the NICU where she was cared for since birth said there was nothing more that they could do for her, and that she would probably not make the year we were devastated. We wanted so much for her to be healthy and come home, but 20 to 30 daily spontaneous desaturation episodes (blue spells) meant that she could not.
Desperate for a second opinion, we contacted Boston Children's Hospital...[more]
At Boston Children's Hospital, we aim to solve some of the world's greatest pediatric health problems. Some ways we do this stem from scientific research: Understanding diseases deeply—even at the cellular or molecular level—leads to new drugs and therapies. Other discoveries arise from moments spent at patients' bedsides, when doctors and nurses see opportunities to improve care. This approach, which we call "clinical innovations," often requires us to develop entirely new tools or come up with inventive strategies. This creative form of innovation is the path by which many major improvements in health care have been made.
At Boston Children's Hospital, we believe that patients and families deserve to know whether the hospital where they have chosen to receive their care meets the highest standards and is committed to excellence. Through our Program for Patient Safety and Quality, we continually monitor and improve the care we provide to our patients. Since the diseases and chronic conditions that affect children and adolescents are quite different from those of adults, it is often not appropriate to use adult measures to evaluate the quality of pediatric care. That's why we have taken a leadership role in developing scientifically sound methods to measure the quality of care provided to all children and adolescents.
The future of pediatrics will be forged by thinking differently, breaking paradigms and joining together in a shared vision of tackling the toughest challenges before us."

Title: Assistant Director of University Recruiting for Transfer, Graduate & Adult Students
Years at NSU: 10
Job description: I assist new or returning students with the application process regarding admission, financial aid, housing and/or registration. I also help get them acclimated to the university by giving them a campus tour if desired. I am here to help guide them through the process step-by-step to make sure their transaction is a smooth and pleasant one. I also travel in Louisiana and east Texas to recruit at community colleges as well as universities so we can gain more transfer and graduate students. I host an annual Graduate and Transfer Student Open House on campus that is a one-stop shop for admitted students to come and meet with an advisor to register for classes for the summer and fall semesters.
Why I like working at Northwestern State: Northwestern really is a family place, and is home for me. I attended the lab schools on campus and graduated from NSU. Both of my parents are alumni and are recently retired educators, one from Elementary Lab School and one from the College of Education and Human Development. My sister and brother-in-law both currently work on campus, too. I have many other family members that are alumni as well. Besides it being a family place, faculty and staff go above and beyond the call of duty to help students and parents feel welcome and to make sure that they have found a place to call home. Making students happy is our number one goal, and we are always striving for excellence.

Surf school: 'It only takes one wave to change the rest of your life'
NEWPORT, Ore. — It's a typical Friday morning at Newport High School, but this group of 15 students are not sitting in a classroom.
Instead, they're out shredding the waves of the Oregon Coast.
These students are part of "Oregon Outdoors," an elective created by three teachers at Newport High School to provide students with a hands-on, recreational learning opportunity that utilizes the outdoors surrounding Newport.
"We really wanted kids to be able to get out of the classroom and learn from being outside," Ollie Richardson said. Richardson is the assistant athletic director at Newport High School and an instructor at Ossie's Surf Shop. He teaches the surfing portion of the program.
Two to three times a week, Richardson takes the group to Agate Beach to teach them basic techniques about surfing. They load a bus at the high school and go to Ossie's surf shop, where they rent equipment at a discounted price.
The students shred the waves for about an hour and a half alongside Richardson, who uses his background in professional surfing to give them proper instruction on form and water safety.
"What I preach in class is more about water safety," Richardson said. "You need to be able to forecast the weather and go out at a time that meets your skill level."
Those in the class feel they learn more from being out in the water than having their heads in a textbook. The water allows them to be at one with their state of mind and spend quality time with their peers.
"It's like a completely different emotion than everything that I've ever tried before," Giovanni Aquinardi, a foreign exchange student from Italy, said.
Many that participate in the program are first time surfers.
"Most of the kids that take this course say the same thing after they're done," Richardson said. "They say they never would have tried surfing if it were not for this course."
Because of popular demand for the class, those that enroll are subject to the same restrictions as a student athlete. During class time, they produce projects about water safety. One failing grade and the student won't be able to take the class anymore.
"It's just like playing a sport. If you get a bad grade, you don't get to play," Richardson said. "If you get a failing grade in one of your other classes, you don't get to go out surfing."
For those that take the course, they create friendships that last well beyond the scope of the 9-week program.
"Being out there with everybody, all these friends, I've met new people, and we've connected through the program," said Chase Gerby, Oregon Outdoors member.
While ensuring that those in the course are always safe, Richardson still encourages them to have fun out on the water. He does this by recounting his earliest surfing memory as he starts each class.
"At the beginning of each class, I tell the students the story of when I rode my first wave," Richardson said. "I tell them it only takes one wave to change the rest of your life."

We were thinking about one of Picasso's fabled quotes the other day ("Bad artists copy. Good artists steal."), and realized that it's practically perfect for WWW: TipsÂ--with a slight tweak, of course! Our interpretation of this phrase is simple: while it's almost always possible to simply replicate an outfit, it's invariably better to use that ensemble as a starting point for your own creation. On that note, in this month's installment of Tips, we've gathered an amazing group of stylesetters for you to use as fashionable springboards. Whether it's Gwyneth Paltrow's casually chic chinos or Alexa Chung's leather-lite look, you're sure to find loads of ideas in today's story and, hopefully, inspiration too!
Tip #1: Mix a neutral blazer with green chinos.
Judging by all the field jackets we've seen on and off the runway this season, there is no doubt that the military trend is here to stay for summer. That said, we love the way Gwyneth Paltrow recently infused her wardrobe with a different kind of army inspiration by opting for olive green chinos. While attending Stella McCartney's Resort 2011 presentation in New York early last month, Paltrow paired Current/Elliott's The Captain Trousers ($162) with a neutral blazer designed by McCartney. Take a tip from the current Vogue cover girl's style and create your own crisp look by pairing J. Crew's Destroyed Boyfriend Chinos ($50) with a neutral topper like Aqua's Boyfriend Blazer ($88). We also think ASOS's Stripe Linen Boyfriend Blazer ($102) and Old Navy's Cotton Twill One-Button Blazer ($40) are smart alternatives. Extra points if you round out your polished ensemble with a sharp pair of shoes like Jean-Michel Cazabat's Penny Suede Wedge Heels ($395).
Tip #2: Wear a LBD with festive summer shoes.
While it's true that a little black dress never goes out of style, a pair of attention-grabbing shoes is sure to boost its fashion quotient even more. So when we spotted gal-about-globe Leigh Lezark at the AnOther Magazine party at Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, Turkey last month in a timeless one-shoulder dress and an of-the-moment pair of platforms, we couldn't help but admire her chic combination. Not only do we love the belted silhouette of her satin Preen dress (which is from the Pre-Fall 09 collection), we are completely infatuated with the summery feel of the cutout details on her Versace S/S 10 pumps ($1350, 888.721.7219). To achieve a similarly sophisticated nighttime look, we suggest Riller & Fount's Keel One Shoulder Dress ($137) or ASOS's Twisted Slinky One Shoulder Dress ($65) cinched with Rag & Bone's Double Buckle Belt ($140). To finish the look, we like either Elizabeth and James' Maryl Platforms ($257) or Seychelles' Ankle Wrap Heel ($98); both are affordable options that will elevate your go-to LBD to fashionable heights this summer!
Tip #3: Style leather shorts with an easy gray tee.
As we mentioned earlier this season, leather isn't solely reserved for the colder months anymore. In fact, quite the opposite is true; now that the material is considered seasonless, there's a myriad of warm-weather interpretations available! If you need additional inspiration on how to wear this trend, just look to Alexa Chung's laid-back ensemble for a spot-on suggestion. For the YSL Belle D'Opium fragrance launch in New York, Chung kept it casual in a pair of leather shorts from Yves Saint Laurent's S/S 10 collection, paired with a gray Vince Degrade Burnout Wedge Tee ($138) and a cream Neal Sperling cardigan. Further delighting us, Chung added a couple luxe accessories into the mix: a Mulberry Roxanne bag (no longer available, but check out the Oversized Alexa Bag ($1250) for a structured substitute) and Louis Vuitton shoes from the F/W 09 collection, to be exact. For a similarly slouchy gray tee, we recommend trying Sparkle & Fade's Short Sleeve Boxy Tee ($24) or Joe's Jeans' The Riley Tunic ($93). As for the perfect pair of leather shorts, we've got you covered! Be sure to check out Boutique's Leather Shorts ($160) or Elise Overland's Leather Shorts ($736) for a Chung-worthy look!
Tip #4: Tie your fave silky blouse in a knot.
There's nothing like a silky blouse: it's one of the few pieces that can make you feel feminine in summer's sweltering heat, plus it easily transitions from morning meetings to nights out with the girls. But you can make this wardrobe staple even more chicÂ--just take a styling tip from Carine Roitfeld and try it knotted instead of buttoned up. As she gracefully demonstrated with a Hermes blouse at a Guiseppe Zanotti cocktail party last month, this otherwise prim top can look downright sexy when worn this way, especially when paired with a neutral pencil skirt and knee-high lace-up boots (Gianvito Rossi shoes, in Roitfeld's case). If you're ready to invest in a couple of standout pieces to emulate Roitfeld's look, don't miss Blumarine's Python-Print Fringed Silk Blouse ($925) and Burberry's High Waisted Pencil Skirt ($650) in Wheat. For pocket-friendly alternatives, we suggest Tory Burch's Alison Blouse ($265) and Ann Taylor's Cotton Sateen Pencil Skirt ($78), which will keep you looking your best without breaking the bank.
Tip #5: Start wearing fall's metallic dresses now.
While summer trends are still in full bloom, we see no harm in anticipating fall's new fashions a little early to satiate our sartorial cravings. As we mentioned in Look Forward To Fall Trends, metallic dresses are an autumnal must-have. Just look at how stunner Lara Stone executes the trend if you need some outfit ideas. The model picked a custom-made coppered beaded Calvin Klein Collection dress for a party celebrating Berlin Fashion Week earlier this month, which she accessorized with a demure Gold Box Clutch ($595, 212.292.9000) and black Platform Heels with Ankle Straps ($895, 212.292.9000) from the label's Resort 11 collection. Ready to create your own interpretation of Stone's radiantly elegant outfit? ABS' Asymmetrical Draped Metallic Knit Dress ($230) is a chic gunmetal option, or check out Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent's Czar Gold Lamé Party Dress ($298) for a strapless style. If you'd like a more body-conscious iteration of the metallic look, don't miss MinkPink's One Sleeve Metallic Print Dress ($90) or Erin Wasson x RVCA's Soul Clappin Mini Dress ($110) in Metallic Gold. Pair any of these glitzy picks with Charles David's Andria Mary Janes ($138) to complete a glamorous ensemble that's perfect for any night out!
Tip #6: Pair silky pants with a crochet top.
There's nothing we love more than seeing an unexpected cocktail party ensemble, so it's no wonder why we adore the boho chic look Margherita Missoni wore to a Missoni party during the menswear shows in Milan in June. Her combination of billowy, beautiful slacksÂ--specifically, Missoni Silk Trousers from the S/S 09 collectionÂ--with a cropped crochet top from Missoni's S/S 10 line is youthful, fresh, and totally fun. (MM's accessories are also worth noting; we love her Opening Ceremony necklaces and Alaia handbag.) To follow in Missoni's fashionable footsteps, start with an earthy shirt, like Madison Marcus' Link Crochet Top ($282) or Free People's Carefree Crochet Tank ($88) for a less constricting option. Then simply dress your look up with some fluid trousers; we like Topshop's Premium Silk Hareems ($110) for a tapered silhouette or Dolce Vita's Charlie Pants ($198) for more faithful interpretation of Missoni's look.

Not the Answer/ Offshore Oil Drilling
Surfrider's Not the Answer campaign is focused on opposing the expansion of offshore drilling in the United States. Surfrider chapters across the country are advocating for legislation and agency decisions that will prohibit the exploration, development, or production of oil and gas in state and federal waters. Current priorities of the Not the Answer campaign include: 1) Influencing the upcoming Five Year OCS Drilling Plan for 2017-2022; 2) Opposing federal legislation that would expand offshore drilling into new areas; 3) Opposing proposed seismic exploration for oil and gas resources off the Mid- and South Atlantic coasts; 4) Supporting state and federal moratoria on offshore oil and gas development; 5) Participating in Hands Across the Sand events to demonstrate grassroots support for protecting our coasts from offshore drilling. (Photo Credit: Angie Gustavson: Volusia-Flagler Chapter)
More Information
For decades our coasts were protected from offshore oil drilling. Unfortunately, circumstances changed in 2008 when President Bush lifted a White House moratorium on offshore drilling. Congress later followed suit by allowing a federal ban on drilling to expire. Now, decision makers at the state and federal levels are examining ways to capitalize on the lifted moratoria and erect new platforms along our coastlines.
The Surfrider Foundation is opposed to offshore oil drilling in new areas. Our nation's oceans, waves and beaches are vital recreational, economic and ecological treasures that will be polluted by an expansion in offshore oil drilling. Instead of advocating for transient and environmentally harmful ways to meet America's oil needs, we should seek a comprehensive and environmentally sustainable energy plan that includes energy conservation.
Offshore oil drilling and oil spills have the potential to critically impact pristine marine ecosystems and lead to industrialization of our coastlines. While there are numerous environmental problems associated with oil drilling, there are also negative economic impacts that we simply cannot afford during hard economic times. This fact sheet is intended to outline potential impacts of offshore oil drilling, and also to dispel myths that have been put forth by oil drilling proponents.
Ultimately, America cannot drill our way out of an oil consumption problem. We must look toward sustainable solutions that protect our natural resources, rather than drilling for fossil fuels off our coasts. It is in the best interest of our environment and economy to wean America off oil, and develop a sustainable "energy portfolio" that includes renewable sources and conservation.
Energy conservation is the most economical and environmental way to achieve energy independence from fossil fuels. Riding mass transit, increasing auto efficiency, improving building insulation, and better management of electrical use in homes/businesses, are just a few ways we can reduce our oil and energy consumption. Conservation is much cheaper and healthier than investing in further development of offshore oil reserves.
It's imperative that America shifts away from an old mindset of relying on fossil fuels. Climate change, and other environmental problems are not waiting for us to 'rebuild our energy portfolio'. Oil drilling and continued use of fossil fuels will only exacerbate climate change, and keep us trapped in a 'backwards frame of mind' which overlooks sustainable energy and conservation. The answers for sustainable energy are already in front of us—and offshore drilling is not part of the answer.Beachapedia Donate

Nullification is commendable principally because its persistent practice engenders trust between the elected and the electorate and encourages the recognition of reliable patterns of interaction between the state and local authorities and the federal government. By consistently demanding that Washington confine itself to its small sphere of influence, everyone — citizen, state lawmaker, U.S. president, and congressman — knows where they stand and can act knowing they enjoy the good will of those by whom they were chosen to serve.
Take the coverage of the 2012 elections carried on the three biggest 24-hour news channels (Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN) and you get a very conservative calculation of 72 hours in one day spent talking about the races in the 50 states.
Of those 72 hours of election coverage not one minute was devoted to reporting the results of several ballot initiatives nullifying unconstitutional acts of Congress. None of the highly paid, pancake-powdered pundits spoke a single syllable about the noteworthy and now codified efforts of citizens across the country to stop the encroachment of federal tyranny at the state borders.
At The New American, we strive to promote liberty through the publishing of news stories related to the Constitution, and to that end, proceeding from Atlantic to Pacific, we here present a brief rundown of the several nullifying proposals passed by voters in Tuesday's elections.

Downward Spiral
In 2004 Britney married a high school friend in Vegas, and it was all downhill from there. Next thing we knew we had Kevin Federline, babies, shaved heads, hospital calls, smashed windows, and bizarre behavior. We also had a 4 year gap without a new album, which left pop music fans everywhere wondering "What happened to Britney"? But, seriously…what happened there, girl?

Wellington police arrested a Carbon County youth Friday and referred him to Juvenile Court on charges of felony theft for allegedly stealing $2,500 to $3,000 worth of copper cable from the Joy Manufacturing facility on Ridge Road.
According to Chief Lee Barry, an employee at Joy spotted the theft in progress at about 8:30 a.m. on the company lot and provided police with a description of the vehicle and license plate number. All law enforcement agencies were notified to be on the lookout.
The chief said that Utah Highway trooper Sean Alton spotted and stopped the vehicle in Helper and detained the suspect until Barry could arrive at the scene to make the arrest.
Barry complimented the UHP and the Carbon County Sheriff's department for their handling of the incident. "It worked because everybody helped everybody else," he said.

Welcome to the Management Program
A Description of the Major
Management is the most common yet most misunderstood field in all of business. It is easy to know right away if someone is poor at accounting or finance, but bad management? Alas, that is much harder to immediately detect. Too frequently, bad managers persist like zombies in a cheap horror movie blaming their problems on everyone but themselves while they slowly suck the brains from the organizations they are supposed to guide. Worse, many people tend to dismiss the skills of a trained manager as simply "common sense." But if management is common sense, where do all these bad managers keep coming from?
Management is simply achieving accomplishment with others. It is the most broadly applicable skill set taught at the College of Business.
The Management Department is a team of dedicated professionals devoted to the systematic investigation and dissemination of ways people can work well with others.
So thank you for your interest in what we are about here. Please take some time to explore our site and feel free to contact me or any of our faculty if we can assist you in some way.
Best wishes,
Scott Gallagher
Chair, Management Department

Working at a fashion magazine makes the months-and certainly the seasons-zip by. At WhoWhatWear.com, our lead-time is at least a month ahead, but we see (and study) the upcoming season's collections months before the items hit stores. That kind of pre-planning makes us forget where we are (amidst LA's sweltering summer) and wish for what's to come (brisk fall weather). Today I'll share with you a few items I've had on my mind for months now, as well as some recent ones I've become obsessed with in the past few weeks.
1. Balmain Fall 2008 Collection
There are a lot of collections that I flipped for last February: I loved the color palettes at Halston and Proenza Schouler, the washed leather at Alexander Wang, all of the boots and bags at Etro, and pretty much everything by Jenni Kayne. Beyond these, there was one collection that truly stood out, my obsession, otherwise known as Balmain. Every punky, sequined little dress made me want to go clubbing (quite a feat if you know my lifestyle) and the high-heeled moccasin booties made me want to cry with tears of joy. Unfortunately, this collection is sparsely available in the US (you can buy some pieces of the clothing on Net-A-Porter and Browns) and the prices are quite high. That said, I've decided to channel the collection in my own way, through vintage pieces mixed with budget basics (for all of you WWW subscribers, expect an "Inspired By: Balmain story" coming soon to your inbox).
2. Alexander Wang Beanie ($175)
Like most young women interested in fashion, I love Alexander Wang. I purchased quite a few fall pieces from his collection, but I think this cashmere beanie is possibly the item I'm most excited about. I'll wear it all winter, and it's one of those key pieces that will be fit to store and bring back out year after year.
3. Felder Felder Studded Belt ($254)
I'd been looking for the perfect black belt for the new season and happily found this one by Felder Felder. It's so versatile: I can wear it with my low-slung Current/Elliott Boyfriend Jeans or at my natural waist over a t-shirt dress.
4. Dries Van Noten Sandals ($740, available in Barneys stores now)
I love the combo of the black and brown leather of these Dries Van Noten shoes just as much as its colorful cousins. Both please!
5. Fables by Marti Heil Scissorhand Cuff Bracelet ($595)
When this sterling silver cuff came through our office, I knew I had to have one. This piece perfectly represents this season's silver jewelry trend: it's simultaneously tough, sleek, and glam rock chic.
6. Elizabeth & James Baroness Jacket ($565, avail October 15) and Bell Skirt ($365, avail in October 15)
Elizabeth and James continues to inspire me. I love this velvet baroness coat. It has a huge embroidered scarab on the back and it's truly a standout piece! I'm also crazy about the Bell Skirt, which I'll wear with a little gray sweater and my black lace tights.
7. Etro Purple Leather Fringe Bag ($1880)
As I mentioned, I've been flipping out over Etros handbags. I love the fringe and I love that it's purple-I just can't help but think of Prince. For availability, try Etro's website or 212.247.1200 and tell them you're looking for bag style number: 1A678 2636.
8. Topshop Snake Ring ($18.50)
Topshop is one of my go-to spots for trendy and inexpensive accessories. You can mix this snake ring with a couple of real pieces of jewelry and a nice watch, no one will ever know it was only $18!
9. Joie Dream Some Over the Knee Boots ($475)
Besides my Doc Martens, the other footwear style I'm going to wear this fall is over-the-knee boots. This trend makes such a statement that (off the runway, at least) it's best to choose a super simple pair like these from Joie.
10. Kova & T Yasi Dress ($495, available September 1st)
I can't think of a better place for my Oxy Leggings than underneath this sexy dress by Kova & T. If you haven't checked out their whole fall collection, you're missing out!
11. Elle Macpherson IntimatesDentelle Underwire Bra ($60)
Elle Macpherson Intimates makes the most fashionable bras that perfectly peek out from underneath sheer tees and tank tops. This nude French lace bra has gorgeous details and is one of the collection's loveliest pieces.

In October, there's gonna be a killer on the loose when VIDEO HATE SQUAD unleashes the indomitably sleazy cinematic experience known as ROCKTOBER BLOOD! When you talk about the grand canyon-esque landfill of film titles that never cleared the leap to DVD, this phenomenally delirious hair metal take on Cyrano-meets-the-slasher-genre is the most glaring casualty on the pile.
Nearly a year has passed since Lynn Starling's testimony sent vocal virtuoso and apparent psychopath Billy Harper to the electric chair. Billy tragically murdered some losers in a recording studio, which also claimed the life of a pinball machine in the process. After Billy rode the lightning into the ether, his band was in desperate need of a replacement singer. And who better to fill the void than Lynn herself? On the brink of a worldwide tour to promote an LP of Billy's material, Lynn finds herself terrorized by a shadowy figure that looks and sounds an awful lot like the former lead singer she sent to death row. In the midst of the violent stalking and a maelstrom of raging jams, Lynn finds herself on a deadly mission to find out whether or not Billy is dead. Or alive.
In the tradition of metalsploitation greats such as BLACK ROSES and TRICK OR TREAT, ROCKTOBER BLOOD is a true heavyweight. While other films in this class typically feature slapdash metal that provokes a roll of the eyes, this movie's soundtrack drills deep into your skull and infests your brain. The songs are called "Rainbow Eyes" and "Watch Me Rock." The bands are called SORCERY and FACEDOWN. Bring your rainbow eyes to the screening or there will be hell to pay, because Video Hate Squad IS BACK! (Max Meehan)

While growing up in Rochester, Brian Wade has made several appearances at OFAs Brian Wade Jr. Memorial Tournament.
Attending with his father, Pat Wade, he has dropped pucks and handed out trophies in the tournament which honors the memory of his uncle for whom he is named.
Today Brian Wade will be looking to put the puck in the net and/or set up goals and help 11-3 McQuaid Jesuit win the first place trophy in the 31st Brian Wade Jr. Memorial Tournament. McQuaid, which has been ranked as high as second on the NYS Division I Poll this season, will meet host OFA at 2:30 p.m. in the final game of the match-up tournament which follows a points format.
In first round action on Friday, OFA downed Saranac Lake 3-2 in overtime while McQuaid posted a 6-0 victory over the Islanders aided by two assists by Brian Wade.
OFA 3 - Saranac Lake 2 OT: Two special teams goals and stellar senior leadership from forward Brandon Mullin and defenseman Gian Rufa carried the 7-3-1 Devils past a resilient effort by the Red Storm (3-4-2).
The duo figured in all three goals and Mullin completed a two-goal, one assist game by taking a pass from Rufa and netting a rising wrist shot past Saranac Lake keeper Justin Farmer 3:43 into overtime.
Mullin scored from Rufa on a power play and then combined with another senior, Jake Garrison, to set up a shorthanded tally by Rufa at 6:38 and 7:54 of the second period.
The Storm rallied from the 2-0 deficit as Blake Battistoni scored unassisted at 9:35 of the middle stanza and Quinn Urquhart stuffed home a rebound with 2:28 remaining in the game.
Brandon Mullin and Gian Rufa really had a outstanding games and David Prudhomme turned in another strong game in net, said OFA Coach Jon Frederick after Prudhomme stopped 26 shots on the night.
McQuaid 6 - Islanders 0: Jarred Tallo scored a pair of unassisted goals in a four-goal second period for the Knights who also received two goals from Mate Pennington and two assists from Brian Wade. Omer Savoie and Vaugh Schmidt also scored for the Knights while Zach Pearson fashioned a 22-save shutout. Miles Kearns handled 40 shots for the Islanders (4-7-2).

Guidelines for the Matching Scholarship Program
Enroll your church.
Mail a completed Enrollment Form [PDF] to the university. Obtain the signature of approval of the pastor.
Use your committee.
A scholarship committee should be formed to make your local decisions about student awards.
Send in Student Award Forms.
Complete all information on Student Award Form. Your local scholarship committee should determine the amount of student award. Committees are encouraged to give equal awards to students.
Act before April 1.
Awards received by April 1 preceding the academic year in which the scholarships are to be awarded are assured a matching scholarship. After April 1, a potential match is dependent upon available university funds. NOTE: The number of scholarships matched by Anderson University is limited to the available size of the Anderson University financial aid budget. Early action by a committee may make the difference of receiving an available Anderson University Matching Scholarship.
Encourage donors to contribute to your scholarship account—not to individual students.
Your local committee should independently decide which students receive a scholarship and how much the scholarship will be.
Exclude gifts from family members.
Available monies in this program must be from sources that are "detached and of disinterested generosity." Funds from student's parents, sisters, brothers, grandparents, uncles and aunts must not be used to fund awards.
Encourage donors who work for matching employers to contribute directly to Anderson University.
You can obtain a listing of matching companies from our employer directory. The donor may not designate a specific student recipient, but may designate that his or her gift be placed in the church's scholarship account here at Anderson University to be used for awards for students from his/her church.
Use your Scholarship Certificates.
When your committee notifies Anderson University of a student award, a Scholarship Certificate will be sent to your committee from the Office of Development. Presentation of this certificate to your student will encourage others to participate as well as honor your student for his/her commitment to attending Anderson University.
Office of Advancement Services by calling (765) 641-4062, or by emailing email@example.com. You may also write to Matching Church Scholarship Program, Office of Advancement Services, Anderson University, Anderson, Indiana 46012.

5/5/2012 | Nashville, Tenn. | Attendance: 303
Sunday, May 06, 2012
The Lipscomb Lady Bisons, weary from four games and finals, have a few days to rest and recuperate before heading to the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament.
The Lady Bisons, seeded No. 4 with an 11-7 conference record, 34-18 overall; will face No. 5-seeded Jacksonville Wednesday at Cyrill Stadium on the campus of USC Upstate in Spartanburg in the opening game of the tournament at 2 p.m. CDT.
Jacksonville is 10-8, 30-23 overall. The Lady Bisons split with Jacksonville on the road losing 1-0 in game one and coming back strong in game two for a 9-3 win.
Saturday night the Lady Bisons closed out the regular season with a sweep of ETSU, winning game one on a 4-0 shutout by right-hander Whitney Kiihnl in her last appearance in the pitcher's circle at Draper Diamond. Freshman left-hander Ashley Anderson won game two by a 7-5 margin.
"These were two big games to roll into the tournament with," Lipscomb coach Kristin Ryman said. "We have to know we are as good as anybody in the tournament. We can do it, but we have to go out and do our part.
"There was a lot of emotion this weekend with Senior Day and their last chance to play on the field. We just won two games and there are still some tears. We are going into this tournament winning three of our last four games and that is big."
The Lady Bisons were able to flex their hitting muscles a little bit in the doubleheader. In game one the Lady Bisons had only six hits, but one was a two-run homer to left field in the third inning by Kelsey Cartwright, her 15th of the year. Also adding extra bases hits was Kristen Sturdivant with a solo home run to left in the sixth and a double to right center in the fourth. Sturdivant led all batters in the first game with three hits in as many trips to the plate.
In game two the Lady Bisons collected 10 hits. Sturdivant, pinch-hitting in the sixth slammed a solo shot, her second of the night, over the fence in left center.
Caroline Mason sparked the Lady Bisons three-run outburst in the first inning with a two-RBI double down the left field line.
"It was not that we needed the home runs, but we needed to get some of those big hits," Ryman said. "We needed to get that feel back and that confidence back. It was really good to see that."
Kiihnl and Cartwright were the top hitters in the game with each one pounding out three hits.
"It was good to see us come out and swing the bats pretty well," Ryman said. "There were a few times where I thought we had runners on and we didn't execute and find ways to get those key hits. But then we would get hits with nobody on."
Kiihnl, 22-12, gave up only two hits for her ninth shutout of the season. She struck out four and walked two.
Anderson, 12-6, scattered 11 hits and gave up five runs, only two earned. She walked three and struck out one. She did not give up an extra-base hit. She had to deal with three innings where she loaded the bases.
"Ashley will give up a decent amount of hits, but a lot of them are just singles," Ryman said. "She works herself out of jams by coming up with key plays."
Kiihnl was honored between games. Ryman and pitching coach Lexi Myers presented Kiihnl with the game ball she used to record her 1000th strikeout earlier this season. She is only the third pitcher in A-Sun history to reach that mark.
Shortstop Bridgette Begle was forced to leave game one in the third inning when a softball bounced off of an ETSU runner and hit her in the face. She did not return. Jordan Abell took over at second base and Cartwright moved to shortstop. Begle is expected to be ready for the tournament.
"Jordan is a spunky player," Ryman said. "Second is her natural position, but it had been awhile since she had played there. It was big for us for her to come in and fill in the way she did."
Sunday the Lady Bisons will take a day off and then practice Monday morning before heading to Spartanburg.
"They have been going hard," Ryman said. "With finals just finishing they are worn out. This will give them the chance to catch their breath a little. We'll get some good hitting in Monday morning and take off."
ETSU finished the season with a 1-17 conference record, 11-37 overall.

Mr Guerra said his client was feeling better a day after he was transferred to a hospital. Guatemala refused Thursday to grant asylum to US anti-virus software pioneer John McAfee and said he would be deported back to Belize to answer questions over his neighbor's murder. Shortly after learning his fate, McAfee was rushed to a police hospital from his jail cell in Guatemala City, with one lawyer saying he had suffered two mild heart attacks and another describing 'heart problems' and chest pains.

What distro are you using?
Do you have the correct Driver installed?
you can simply do a lspci -l
Are you using ndiswrapper? do you have it linked correctly to the kernel?
wpa_supplicant enabled?
this is a good place to start...otherwise google linux and wireless...
distro: SLED 10
controller: 10:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02 )
not use ndiswrapper
where is wpa_supplicant?
I used google before posted this topic.
after start does not plug into wifi network I have wait lots(maybe 75 sec) . I dont know how modify this time.
If I understand you correctly, it does eventually connect, but it takes about 75 seconds, and then it will die out? or do you maintain connection?
I believe the issue is that specific card has had issues with compatibility. I googled and found this to be helpful.
I read this, and it sounded similar to your issue.
and about wpa_supplicant...
it would be in the sessions, down towards the bottom of list, if it is installed...
wiki.zenwalk.org/index.php?title=Madwifi-ng_(Atheros) <<< not alive
it will waiting dhcp address at 75 seconds , after die.
the wifi lost the connection already. It solved only reboot.
go to services ....
find wpa_supplicant, check and hit enable....
if it enables...then you have wireless, otherwise it will give you an error...you should post that error so that we can see what the problem is.

Disjoint Sets
April 2, 2010
Disjoint sets are a data structure that supports grouping, or partitioning, n distinct elements into a collection of sets, each containing a distinct subset of the elements. The operations supported by the data structure are find, which determines to which subset a particular element belongs, and union, when merges two subsets into one.
It is straight forward to implement disjoint sets using linked lists. The problem is that such a representation can have quadratic performance in the worst case, and the worst case, or something close to it, occurs reasonably often.
Thus, most algorithms textbooks describe a data structure called a disjoint-set forest. Each subset is represented by a tree, with each node containing a pointer to its parent; these are generalized trees, not binary trees, with potentially many children at each node. The make-set function returns a singleton tree, find chases parent pointers to the root of the tree, and union makes the root of one of the trees point to the root of the other in its parent. Two heuristics are common; union joins the tree with smaller rank (the upper bound on the depth of the tree) as a sub-tree to the tree with greater rank, and path compression replaces the parent pointer of each node with a pointer to the root of the tree instead of a pointer to the parent.
Your task is to implement a library that provides the make-set, find and union operations for disjoint sets, using the disjoint-set forest data structure described above. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.

I just created a class based on the python dict. I included path compression, but not the rank heuristics.
class DisjointSet(dict): def add(self, item): self[item] = item def find(self, item): parent = self[item] while self[parent] != parent: parent = self[parent] self[item] = parent return parent def union(self, item1, item2): self[item2] = self[item1]

CONSTABLEVILLE The South Lewis Central School District has accepted a purchase offer on the former elementary school here, with the possibility of completing the sale this fall.
The Board of Education on Tuesday approved an offer from Matthew A. and Leticia A. Zehr, Martinsburg, to purchase the 12.1-acre former Constableville Elementary School property, with a two-story former school building and small bus garage, for $50,000.
We want to see the building utilized, South Lewis Central School District Superintendent Douglas E. Premo said.
To comply with state education law, the proposed purchase is subject to a permissive referendum, meaning that district residents could force a public vote by submitting a petition containing signatures of at least 10 percent of qualified voters within 30 days.
If the proposal is not contested, the school board could formally approve the sale at its Aug. 13 meeting, allowing a closing sometime in September or October, Mr. Premo said.
The Zehrs, who operate a pottery studio and home-school their four children, intend to use a portion of the two-story building as a residence and studio, with hopes to lease other parts of the building for businesses, professional offices or even a bed and breakfast, he said.
While Good Morning Realty likely showed the old school to more than 30 people, most of it was apparently novelty interest from people without true reuse plans, Mr. Premo said.
This was the only offer, he said.
The Zehrs initially submitted an offer at the districts asking price of $75,000, but that deal was made contingent on them being able to sell their property in Martinsburg by July 30 and did not include a permissive referendum clause.
Board members decided that would not be acceptable, so the Zehrs agreed to remove their provision and add the referendum language in exchange for a price reduction to $50,000, which they indicated they could cover even if they dont first sell their property, Mr. Premo said.
Real estate agent Britton A. Abbey offered an opinion to the effect that the costs of continued ownership of the building including maintenance and utilities for the next heating system outweigh the benefits of seeking additional purchase offers, particularly given the limited market, according to an addendum to the resolution adopted by the Board of Education.
The districts cost to maintain the building is roughly $30,000 to $50,000 per year, depending on the winter, Mr. Premo said.
Wed really prefer not to go through another heating season, he said.
Also, since some upgrades to the Constableville school were included in the districts last capital project, proceeds from the sale will likely go back to the state, regardless of the price, Mr. Premo said.
Plus, it will go back on the tax rolls, he said.
Citing budget constraints, the Board of Education closed Constableville Elementary School before the 2012-13 school year.

If you're not checking your tax return before it gets sent to the IRS, you could be in for some nasty surprises.
Did you find a tax pro who swears she can get you better refunds than anyone else in the world? Do all her clients get great refunds, and you can't figure out why you and your accountant can't get the same result? Is she smarter than everyone? There's a reason she can do this. She's committing tax fraud. What happens when your tax preparer commits tax fraud? You get into trouble.
Consider the case of someone who is being audited because her tax preparer took deductions for business expenses. She can't provide receipts for those expenses because she doesn't have a business — or any such expenses. She is rightfully nervous. By the time the IRS gets done with her, she will owe the taxes on those fraudulent expenses, several types of penalties — and interest on the whole shebang.
The first thing you need to know about any tax return you sign is this — there are some words over your signature:
"Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this return and accompanying schedules and statements, and to the best of my knowledge and belief, they are true, correct, and complete. Declaration of preparer (other than taxpayer) is based on all information of which preparer has any knowledge."
Read your entire tax return. Don't put up mental walls and blinders. You are responsible for what goes into those pages. When you see something that you don't understand — ask. If your tax preparer refuses to provide answers, or to let you see your tax return before it is e-filed, take your papers and records and leave.
These seven steps will help you prepare your own tax return properly — or to catch your preparer's errors or fraud.
Your taxes: Why you should file early
According to the IRS, 20% of taxpayers don't file their taxes until the week before the deadline. Photo: Getty
All names should match the Social Security cards, where the IRS cross-references all names. One client told us we had spelled his first name "Jeffrey" incorrectly. We had used the spelling on his Social Security card, which was "Jeffery". When he looked closely, he saw that his Social Security account had been set up with the wrong name from day one.
Did you get married without changing your name with the Social Security Administration? Use your single name.
Check the name appearing on all Forms 1098 and 1099. If you have a living trust, make sure you transferred all your assets to that trust. You will know if the forms don't show the trust's name.
ID numbers
Verify each person's Social Security Number by looking at the SS card. Don't use your memory. When we first started looking at SS cards, one child's number turned out to be half hers and half of her father's.
