NACCE second annual Summer Symposium, held in late June at Springfield Technical Community College (STCC) in Springfield, MA, was a major success, bringing together 52 educators to discuss the theme of "Teaching Entrepreneurship: Sharing Best Practices."
"The symposium was sold out this year. We purposefully keep the group small to allow for lots of interaction among attendees and presenters," said NACCE Executive Director Heather Van Sickle. "It is very rewarding to see the learning and sharing that occurs at this event."
" I enjoyed the networking and sharing of new ideas and best practices in entrepreneurship education," said Donna Wood, who is Dean and Associate Vice President at NorthWest Arkansas Community College in Bentonville, AR.
Susanne Gottlieb, who traveled from Denmark for the event, said, "Thank you very much for letting us into your network of entrepreneurship educators. It was a very nice experience to be with you and share views on entrepreneurship from a global perspective." Gottlieb is head of department at The Multidisciplinary University College in Copenhagen.
Sessions presented at the symposium included "Innovative Ways of Teaching Entrepreneurship in Credit and Credit-Free Environments," "Teaching Entrepreneurship: Concept to Commercialization," "Learning in Action! (LIA): A Problem Based Learning Experience for Developing the Entrepreneurial Spirit in Community Colleges," "Teaching Entrepreneurship Education Through Blended Learning," and "Now What? Marketing Your Offerings Internally and Externally." Attendees also were given a guided tour of the Andrew M. Scibelli Enterprise Center, home of STCC's Student Business Incubator, Workforce Training, and Springfield Business Incubator.
"We're already looking forward to next summer's symposium," said Van Sickle. "With two very successful symposiums under our belt, we are convinced this event should be part of our annual offering to members."

There are no customer reviews yet. Be the first to write a review!
Having chronicled the Civil War and baseball, among other subjects, filmmaker Ken Burns collaborates with historian Dayton Duncan to craft this moving portrait of the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1804-6. The story is one of individual triumph and tragedy, and its cast members--a slave, several women who save the expedition at key moments, and veterans of a bitterly fought revolution--represent the early Republic in microcosm. Packed with well-chosen illustrations, Lewis & Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery is a fine synthesis of what we know about Meriwether Lewis and William Clark today, knowledge that remains shrouded in a certain mystery.
The companion volume to Ken Burns''s PBS documentary film, with more than 150 illustrations, most in full color.In the spring of 1804, at the behest of President oThomas Jefferson, a party of explorers called the Corps of oDiscovery crossed the Mississippi River and started up the Missouri, heading west into the newly acquired Louisiana Territory.The expedition, led by two remarkable and utterly different commanders--the brilliant but troubled Meriwether Lewis and his trustworthy, gregarious friend William Clark--was to be the United States'' first exploration into unknown spaces. The unlikely crew came from every corner of the young nation: soldiers from New Hampshire and Pennsylvania and Kentucky, French Canadian boatmen, several sons of white fathers and Indian mothers, a slave named York, and eventually a Shoshone Indian woman, Sacagawea, who brought along her infant son.Together they would cross the continent, searching for the fabled Northwest Passage that had been the great dream of explorers since the time of Columbus. Along the way they would face incredible hardship, disappointment, and danger; record in their journals hundreds of animals and plants previously unknown to science; encounter a dizzying diversity of Indian cultures; and, most of all, share in one of America''s most enduring adventures. Their story may have passed into national mythology, but never before has their experience been rendered as vividly, in words and pictures, as in this marvelous homage by Dayton Duncan. Plentiful excerpts from the journals kept by the two captains and four enlisted men convey the raw emotions, turbulent spirits, and constant surprises of the explorers, who each day confronted the unknown with fresh eyes. An elegant preface by Ken Burns, as well as contributions from Stephen E. Ambrose, William Least Heat-Moon, and Erica Funkhouser, enlarge upon important threads in Duncan''s narrative, demonstrating the continued potency of events that took place almost two centuries ago. And a wealth of paintings, photographs, journal sketches, maps, and film images from the PBS documentary lends this historic, nation-redefining milestone a vibrancy and immediacy to which no American will be immune.

Jack Pierson vs Barneys
I'm actually not sure who bloggy and Tyler Green are taking sides with in the Jack Pierson vs Barneys dustup. Barneys supposedly "forged," for its window displays, its own set of Pierson's "trademark" sculptures made out of found sign letters. Pierson is mad, and his gallery Cheim & Read wrote a pedantic letter to the clothier that stops short of asserting an actual intellectual property right but nevertheless accuses the retailer of a "fraudulent situation."
But given that those kinds of sculptures are commonplace--you see them in craft fairs, regional art shows, and T.G.I. Friday's-calibre restaurants--that's a bit like Duchamp writing an indignant letter to a urinal manufacturer. As long as the accusations of "fraud" are flying around, why doesn't Pierson have his gallery write an outraged screed to the stock photography company selling this royalty free image:
Or maybe sling a fraud allegation at painter Leslie Brack while he's at it?

Counter-Surveillance Headdress
Become a Target of Heightened Surveillance
The purpose of the Counter-Surveillance Headdress, by Gloria Sed, is to empower the wearer by allowing him/her to claim a moment of privacy in the Big Brother world.
The design of the headdress borrows from Islamic and Hindu fashion to comment on the racial profiling of Arab and Arab-looking citizens that occurred post-9/11. The design of the headdress is thus a contradiction: while its goal is to hide the wearer, it makes the wearer a target of heightened surveillance.
The laser tikka (forehead ornament) is attached to a hooded vest and reflective shawl. The laser is activated by pressing a button on the left shoulder of the vest. When pointed directly into a camera lens, the laser creates a burst of light masking the wearer
Future of Television Conference
Satellite provider EchoStar has launched a mosaic video application (showcase) that will enable viewers to watch six TV thumbnailed video channels and access an interactive menu concurrently, reports CED Magazine.
Powered by OpenTV set-top software, the mosaic and interactive elements, offered on channel 100, follow some earlier work with the technology by EchoStar. In 2004, the DBS service provider offered mosaics to support the Summer Olympics and for coverage of the Presidential elections.
A mosaic thumbnail, once selected by a customer, will be transitioned to full-screen video.
Cable also has some grand plans for mosaic video applications. The Comcast Media Center and GuideWorks, the Comcast/Gemstar-TV Guide joint venture, are developing "video-rich navigation" enhancements for interactive program guides.
Cable has a technological advantage over satellite because signals can be sent two ways. Without a two-way path, satellite operators can offer simultaneous viewing of channels or provide VOD via cable PVR boxes. Programming can be downloaded and stored for later retrieval. That's what DVB-H does, too.
How long until WiFi, WiMax or DVB-H deliver multi-media for Playstation Portables? You decide.

Despite succeeding in court, "show me your papers" has failed in the real world
Staff attorney Laura Rótolo and legal director Matthew Segal of the ACLU of Massachusetts wrote this guest blog.
Today the Supreme Court struck down several provisions of Arizona's controversial anti-immigrant law, but it upheld the infamous "show me your papers" provision. Although the Court's decision to uphold that provision is a blow against civil rights and liberties, the "show me your papers" provision is likely to be relegated to the dustbin of history anyway.
The "show me your papers" provision requires Arizona police officers to investigate a person's immigration status whenever there is "reasonable suspicion" to believe that the person has violated immigration law. In today's decision, the Supreme Court held that, though states like Arizona can't pursue immigration policies that "undermine federal law," they can require police officers to run immigration checks. The Court did not decide whether the "show me your papers" provision unconstitutionally promotes racial discrimination and profiling, and the ACLU will continue to fight in court to have the provision struck down on that basis.
But, no matter what happens to the "show me your papers" provision in court, the policy behind it is in tatters.
Despite the example set by Arizona--or perhaps because of it--the tide is turning against anti-immigrant laws and policies. Mississippi recently rejected a similar bill after the state's police, sheriffs, businesses, and local governments spoke out in opposition. And on June 15, the Obama administration announced that it would begin granting work permits to undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as minors and have since led law-abiding lives.
The tide is turning because "show me your papers" laws are bad for everyone: they promote racial profiling, harm business, and undermine community policing.
First, requiring police to conduct immigration investigations is a recipe for racial profiling. Police will inevitably use race to decide whether to initiate those investigations because there is no reliable way to guess someone's immigration status. For example, after Alabama enacted a "show me your papers" law, all but 10 of the first 141 people arrested in Tuscaloosa for failing to have drivers' licenses were black or Latino.
Second, such measures are bad for business. In Arizona and Alabama, the new show-me-your-papers regimes have been economically disastrous. In contrast, new research shows that, "in the regions where immigrants have settled in the past two decades, crime has gone down, cities have grown, poor urban neighborhoods have been rebuilt, and small towns that were once on life support are springing back." The Obama administration's new approach to work permits recognizes this reality: immigrants make this country better, not worse.
Third, "show me your papers" laws damage relationships between police and immigrant communities. Such laws cause immigrants and people of color to stop trusting local police, stop calling for help, and stop cooperating to fight crime. That is why an association of police chiefs from major cities told the Supreme Court that "the Arizona law would poison any culture of cooperation in communities most afflicted with crime."
These laws are also fundamentally anti-American. They target a vulnerable group and make us all worse off. In contrast, the administration's new policy--which rewards people who are contributing to this country--is true to our country's highest ideals.
Anti-immigrant laws and policies modeled after Arizona's SB 1070 are a failed experiment. Today the Supreme Court allowed Arizona to continue this experiment--at least for the moment--but it is unclear why any other state would do so.

Mitch Hewer or Mitchell Scott "Mitch" Hewer (born July 1, 1989) is an English actor, who is best known for his role of Maxxie Oliver in the E4 teen drama, Skins with Nicholas Hoult. He has also starred in Britannia High as the all around talent Danny Miller.
In 2007, Hewer was given the role of Maxxie, a gay character, in teen drama, Skins. In 2008, his character was written out of the show along with most other main characters.
Mitch Hewer appeared on the cover of the March and October 2007 issues of gay lifestyle magazine Attitude, where the magazine did a "Gays on TV" feature which included stars from Skins, Hollyoaks, Coronation Street and Shameless. He also appeared nude in the June 2008 issue of Cosmopolitan in aid of testicular cancer research.
After he finished his role in Skins he played the role of Danny Miller in Britannia High. The teenage comedy drama was compared to the likes of High School Musical and Fame with a British influence. The show was cancelled after one season due to poor ratings.
In December 2009, Hewer appeared in the musical Never Forget, based on the songs of boyband Take That. He played stripper Dirty Harry alongside Michelle Collins. The show took place at Fairfield Halls in Croydon, London.
In a recent interview Hewer expressed an interest in moving to Hollywood in pursuit of further acting opportunities. As of April 2010, Mitch Hewer has auditioned for a role on the hit American musical/dramedy television series Glee which he did not get.

Perfect for solo artists and groups, the AG120S amplifies both your instrument and voice without having to...
While the Acoustic name is especially well-known to bassists, they have some fantastic guitar amplifier options as well. Dating back to 1967, Acoustic Amplification has had a wild history even by music industry standards. They were huge in the '70s, finding a following in guitarists as renowned as Robby Krieger of the Doors. After enjoying some time in the spotlight, Acoustic Amplification laid low for a while - but now they're back with a selection of amps that's as appealing as ever. For day-to-day gigging at clubs and other small to midsize venues, there's no substitute for a good combo amp. Gear up with a unit from Acoustic's Lead Guitar Series and you'll be ready to take the stage anytime. These run all the way from the compact, 10W G10 - a 1x8 speaker combo amp perfect for rehearsal and studio use - to the G120 DSP, a mean amp with plenty of power to back up your best riffs.
You'll also find a second breed of combo amp in Acoustic's lineup: the AG Series, which are designed and built especially for acoustic guitar and vocal amplification. Like the electric combo amps, these come in an array of sizes. The smallest is the AG15, which uses a 15W 1x8 driver configuration you'll appreciate when you want something extra-portable. When power becomes a priority, turn it up to the AG120S. This combo amp packs twin 60W power amps driving a pair of 8" speakers to give you plenty of juice.
Speaking of juice, maybe a combo amp isn't what you're looking for - maybe you'd rather build yourself a half stack? In that case, set your sights on the G120H Guitar Amp Head and the G412A 4x12 Stereo Guitar Speaker Cabinet. Together, these make an impressive team that's ready to take on the larger venues in your calendar.
After their impressive start decades ago, it was only a matter of time until Acoustic Amplifiers would manage to recapture the world's attention. That time has come, and you can be proud to own any of the guitar amps you'll find here. Electric or acoustic, as long as it's got a pickup, Acoustic has the amp for it.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.- Both parents and St. Petersburg Police are asking a big question of a local dad:what in the worldwere you thinking?
Larry Cornelius Stephens is in big trouble with police after his6-year-old child in kindergarten reportedly went to school today with a backpack filled with 89 grams of pot and a scale.
Larry's family defended him, saying he's a good dad with bad luck.
One cousin told 10 News, "He's innocent, man, simple mistake, man.Gave someone a ride last night, and that's it. The bookbag was left in the car and that was it."
Another cousin said, "He don't do nothing bad, never thought this would happen."
So, how were the drugs discovered? Thechild bragged about it, investigators say,and presented it show-and-tell style to the teacher, saying with a smile, "Look what I've got!"
Police spokesman Bill Proffitt said, "Very sad that thischild grows up in an environment like this. How it affects them, [we] don't know."
When the teacher at Campbell Park Elementary School called the cops immediately, police say it was right about then that Larry realized the drugs were in the backpack. The 25-year-old daddid a U-turn and headed back to school to get his stash, police say, but it was too late.
Police say Larry told them he sold pot to support his family, that this was his "business" and that he usedit to make money for his family.
An uncle told 10 News, "He's a good dad, good dad, he's a great dude."
Stephens' attorney, Daryl Rouson,advised him to turned himself in a short time later.
This isn'tLarry's first brush with the law.The dad just got out of prison in March and has a lengthy criminal record.
Larry Stephens has bonded out of jail.His attorney said there could bea press conference on Wednesday to talk about this. "I am proud that he turned himself in," said Rouson.

Gardnerville writer puts work on hold while raising family, 27 July 2007, Reno Gazette Journal, Reno, Nevada "A Test of Love" began with an idea in 1995. A stay-at-home mom of four children, Scott thought book royalties might pay for the orthodontist.
By this time, she had added home-schooling to her daily routine. So with only summers to write, she devoted the next two to finishing the book.
Scott was born in Pittsburgh, Pa. She joined the Air Force when she was 20 and ended up in Air Force intelligence, where she met her first husband.
Scott says her writing has gone dormant because she's extended herself by home-schooling her teenagers as well as working part time at the library. With only three to four years remaining to home-school, she is content to wait for the time when she can write regularly. There are still three children at home.

My name is Joel Goodson. I deal in human fulfillment.
I grossed over eight thousand dollars in one night. Time of your life, huh kid?
Got into a couple of barrel strengths this weekend as work has been getting a bit stressful. A little Bookers on Friday night and a little GTS 12 last night...I absolutely love that GTS...too bad I only have one more bottle of it.
A little '13 WLW, this is the first WLW I have tried and don't know if I get it just quite yet.. Luckily I have a full bottle to do a lot of studying!!
Starting the evening with some Woodford Double Oaked. A nice pour over all, all the hallmarks of Woodford with an extra boost of caramels and char from the barrel.
Pour of PVW15 and then V17.
The best thing about taking virtual classes is that I can sip OGD BiB while listening to the teacher. :-)
¡Geaux Tigers! - ¡Visca el Barça!
"Really though, my hands are sore. The tool was doing it's thing with a flex hose." -Barrel_Proof

Black Butte Ranch and White and Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Cake
This White and Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Cake recipe is good enough for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
Awhile back, a few lady friends and I went to Black Butte Ranch, outside of Sisters, Oregon, for a birthday celebration. So many of my friends are turning 50 this year (and last), it's been a fun way to get together for long weekends and dinner parties, to celebrate the milestone event. I think back to last year and all the festivities that took place for my 50th. It was a whirlwind of fun, I'd say!
Sitting around for hours and talking about life is how you get to know friends better. You learn more about their lives—the painful and the joyful times—and that makes knowing others so much richer. Sharing empathy, sympathy, laughter, tears. It all happens. It's real life.
My friend Kathie made a killer pumpkin bread that I recently tried to recreate. I'm not sure mine is as good as hers :) but today's recipe, I must say, is pretty tasty.
I love pumpkin, and when it's mixed with dark and white chocolate, you can't go wrong.
You could eat this any time of day, serve with any meal, give it away as a hostess gift, a "welcome to the neighborhood" gift, a "just because" gift, a holiday gift.
It's yummy.
Our time together was yummy. Sweet, savory, there's nothing like girlfriends, and the wisdom and experiences and years put together are some of life's blessings.

Hi, I am going to bring your White & Dark Choc. Pumpkin Cake to my book club 9/17; my question is have you ever used applesauce in place of all or at lest half of the canola oil? I have done with brownies and was just wondering ….
No, I have not Charlene, but I would think it would work! Please come back and tell me if it does!

This recipe looks delicious! Would this work in loaf pans??
Yes, I do believe it would, Marlene. You'd have to adjust the baking time though.

Formed during the Winter of 2004, the Simsbury Taverneers Vintage Base Ball Club operates out of its home town of Simsbury, Connecticut.
Vintage Base Ball (yes, it was two words originally) is the game we now know as baseball yet we play by the rules and customs of an earlier period... a time long ago from the late 1800's. "Ballists" wear period uniforms and recreate the game as it was played from the mid 1860's to the late 1880's.
The Simsbury Taverneers play on their home fields at Simsbury High School, Memorial Field, or Town Forest Field and are dedicated to the preservation of the history of our great American pastime, Base Ball, the game "as it was meant to be played".
In the beginning, in the Winter of 2004, it was a busy time for the founders of the Simsbury Taverneers. John Lucker and Duncan MacKay had been scouting the playing fields, walking the streets, manning the phones, schmoozing at parties, and hanging around the local taverns to recruit players for the 2004 inaugural season of the Simsbury Taverneers. They had met with much success and formed a team of 20 experienced baseball players who, together, made up the now famous Simsbury Taverneers!
Practices began in early March 2004 and the team had begun to gel. Each player became familiar with the unique rules and strategy of Vintage Base Ball with particular focus on catching throws and hits without a modern baseball mitt, pitching to a catcher with minimal equipment, and hitting with bats that are significantly larger and heavier than modern bats.
The team designed a unique uniform which looks sharp and made Simsbury proud during the numerous games and tournaments that were played by the team in their first season.
Since 2004, the Taverneers have have played many great teams at many great venues. Our games are always exciting, filled with humor, fun and gentlemanly play.
So come on out to any of the Taverneers' home or away games and cheer on the players who also happen to be your friends, family, and neighbors. You will have a great time, learn about how the game of base ball was played in the 1860's to 1880's, and see some of the greatest athletes in Simsbury play the game as it was meant to be played!
Where Our Team Name Comes From
From the mid-1700's to the mid-1800's, New England's Route 10 was a busy thoroughfare for travelers throughout the region. Proximity to this well traveled road prompted business owners of the era to open several popular inns and taverns. Pettibone Tavern and Phelps Tavern are two of the historic taverns that existed then and still exist today. The Phelps Tavern is part of the museum complex in the center of town and the Pettibone Tavern is still operating today as a successful restaurant and tavern. Couple this historical significance with the several popular modern taverns in Simsbury today and what we have is the winning combination of a catchy name and a link to our town's history of great hospitality.
The Language of 19th Century Base Ball
In addition to variations in the rules, the vocabulary of the 19th century game was also different. Some examples are:
"cranks", "bugs", "rooters" = fans
"hands down" = out
"hurler" = pitcher
"striker" = batter
"captain" = manager
"matches" = games
"ace" = run
"leg it!" = running
"huzzah!" = cheer
"sky ball", "cloud hunter", "skyscraper", "air ball" = pop up
"muff", "boot", "juggle","mug" = error
"ginger" = determination
"striker to the line" = batter up
"whitewash" = shutout
"garden" = outfield
"daisy cutter", "bug bruiser","grass killer", "ant killer" = grounder
"ballist" = ballplayer
"behind" = catcher
"tally" = final/ining score
"dead" = out
"muffin" = poor player
"foul tick" = foul ball
"pitcher's point" = mound
"muffin", "milkboy" = insults
Some Vintage Base Ball Rules
There are several era brackets for rules and equipment that the Simsbury Taverneers plays within, 1868/1871 and 1886. The most common bracket is 1886 rules although we do play some 1868/1871 games each season. However, the challenge is to be able to play both sets of rules since certain visiting or away games will require the Taverneers to play different era brackets. Following are some excerpts of rules from the different eras (Source: 2003 Vintage Base Ball Times):
Equipment: Each era of play does not permit sunglasses, batting gloves, batting helmets or exposed protective gear. Bats and baseballs must be official 19th century standards. Catchers equipment and fielding gloves are only permitted in 1886 era games.
Baseballs: 1868/1871 baseballs are 9.75 inches round and 5.75 ounces weight with lemon peel or "X" stitching. 1886 baseballs are 9.25 inches round and 5.25 ounces weight with figure 8 stitching.
Timeouts: In each era of play, 1868/1871 and 1886, only the umpire may call for time out to suspend play. In 1886 era, timeouts will be in effect only with the pitcher holding the ball within the pitcher's box.
Base Coach: In each era, only one appointed team Captain and Assistant Coach may coach first or third base. Depending on the captain/coach situation of playing, batting, on base, this will result in unique base coaching situational strategies, movement between first and third base box, or even a vacant coaching box. Base runners will sometimes be exposed to base advancing disadvantages and making their own running decisions.
Umpiring: There is one umpire per game. His positioning of calling the game was generally within 10 to 15 feet of home plate, just outside the home plate area or several feet behind the catcher. Umpires maintain complete control over every aspect of the game. Umpires can be vocal when calling plays but hand signals and gestures were not used. No player shall argue or contest any call made. In the event of a call being questioned by the umpire, each club Captain will be summoned to offer input. The umpire has the right to request a "gentleman's call" if the umpire is uncertain of the play due to disadvantaged line of sight or some other condition unsuitable for a definitive call. The field players must make a best gentlemanly effort to make the call regardless of whether it is to their team's advantage or disadvantage.
Dimensions: Base distances for each era are 90 feet. The pitching mound in both eras did not exist and in place was a Pitcher's Box measuring 6 foot by 6 foot. For 1868/1871 rules, the pitching distance was 45 feet. In 1886 the pitching distance was 50 feet.
1868/1871 Games Rules
Umpire calls the "striker to the line". Batter shall stand within one stride of a line extending midway through home plate. Batter will request high or low strikes prior to entering the box and that strike zone will remain in effect for the duration of the entire at-bat. The pitcher is then required to throw a strike in the zone specified. Any fouled ball that hits the ground and bounces back to the catcher and is caught by the catcher on once bounce is an out.
The first pitch delivered is a "dead pitch" with no ball or strike called. The Striker has the option to hit the ball if desired.
Any subsequent pitch that enters in the opposite strike zone than requested by the batter and is not swung at, is a no pitch.
A ball is any pitch outside of the "high/low" strike zone.
A strike is for any pitch where the striker swings and misses or for a pitch within the striker requested strike zone.
Foul balls are not strikes.
A foul tip caught by the catcher regardless of the count is an out.
Base on Balls: 3
Strike Out: 3
Hit Batsman: Striker not awarded first base. Pitch is a ball.
Fair Foul Rule: Any ball that is struck and first hits in fair territory shall be deemed a fair ball regardless of whether it goes foul before reaching first or third base bags.
Foul Bound Rule: Any foul ball caught on one bounce is an out.
Pitching Motion: Must be underhand delivery perpendicular to the ground with no bend of the elbow. No speed limit applies.
Running: There is no infield fly rule. Tagging up is permitted. Sliding is permitted. Runner can lead from the bases and may steal bases.
Foul Balls/Running: Any foul ball is also considered a dead ball and is not "live" again until the pitcher touches the ball. All runners must return to their base and are subject to being out in the event that the ball is returned to the pitcher and the pitcher throws to the base before the runner returns.
1886 Game Rules
Batting: Same as 1868/1871 rules.
Base on Balls: 7
Strike Out: 3
Foul Balls: Foul balls are not counted as strikes and the ball is dead.
Foul Tip: Any foul tip caught by the catcher, regardless of count, is an out.
Dropped Third Strikes: Any called or swung third strike dropped by the catcher is a live ball and in a force situation, runners must advance accordingly or be subject to a force out.
Pitching Motion: Unrestricted and can include overhand, three-quarter, sidearm, and underhand motions. Breaking balls, changeups, and spitballs are permitted.
Running: Stealing and leading off is permitted. No infield fly rule. Tagging up is permitted.

Is there any way to downgrade the apache version that installed in ubuntu 14.04.
Some packages are not working in 2.4 apache. So we decide to downgrade to the stable apache version
Apache 2.2 isn't in the official repos. You could try adding an old repos from 12.04 and installing from there, but it's probably best to try to fix your own server config.

This is my first crochet pattern, so feedback is welcome, though admittedly, there isn't much to this one. I had made the Obama finger puppet from a Lion brand pattern, and when I saw that he won the American election last night (Nov. 4th, 2008), I thought I should make him a crown to celebrate his victory. I couldn't find a pattern for a mini crown online, so I made my own! Enjoy!

Thank you! We too made the Obama finger puppet. We are so excited to have an incoming government that cares about Americans and other humans, and maybe even the planet we live on!
A crown for Obama...while the crown itself is neat, I'm sad anyone felt the need to commemorate the likes of that man.
Crown??? The man was elected President of the United States....we do not have kings here in this country.. I am sorry something like this is on this web-site.
Change? Let's certainly hope so in 2012......

Car insurance for young drivers is often easier and less expensive when the newly licensed driver to be added to their parent's auto insurance policy than to start up their own policy, especially if it is a teen and they do not own their own vehicle.
You could save a lot when you are adding a young driver to your policy if you're willing to shop around. Most companies have a good rating tier for mature adults, while others have a good rating tier for mature adults with children. This forces you to shop around for the best rate when your son or daughter receives their driver's license.
Every company varies on their rules about charging insurance premiums for families with a driver with a learner's permit, therefore, you have to notified the company about the teen driver with a learner's permit. Some policies automatically extend coverage to a newly licensed driver because he or she is defined as an insured by being related to you by blood, marriage or adoption, and by being a resident of your household, but you have to notify the company to verify the coverage is automatically extended. As insurance agents, we have seen situations where parents didn't notify their insurance company, the child gets into an accident, and the company guidelines wouldn't extend coverage. Please notify your insurance company and shop around for better rates if your company's rate is too high.
The cost of adding a teenage driver varies, just like all the other factors that affect car insurance rates. Boys generally cost 10 percent to 30 percent more than girls to insure at a young age. The National Safety Council says that drivers 16 and 17 are three times more likely to be in a traffic accident than adults ages 25 to 64. This means that you have to make sure you have more than enough insurance on your young drivers. It does make it difficult to pay higher premiums at a time when your child needs the most coverage. We can't stress the need to purchase higher liability limits and higher PIP or Medical Payments coverage (especially if you don't have your family insured on a health insurance policy). If your family has a health insurance policy, you may want to only increase your Liability limits and rely on your health insurance policy for medical coverage if it provides coverage in an auto accident.
Your insurance premium will increase when you put your teenager on your auto policy, therefore you need to seek ways to save money. Shopping is important, but you can also looks for discounts. Parents receive discounts for being married, maintaining good driving records, owning multiple cars and carrying homeowners insurance with the same company. For your child, your rate can go down if your teen gets good grades or establishes a good driving record (which takes time). Most companies offer discounts to students with good grades, generally a B average or higher. Be aware that you shouldn't necessarily seek companies that offer this discount, because you will find companies that don't offer the discount but they are much cheaper than those that do. If you require your son or daughter pay for all or part of the incremental cost of adding them to the policy, they may feel a higher incentive to drive responsibly and get good grades.
We do not recommend getting an older car for your teenager just to save on auto insurance (not just because we are insurance agency, but for the right reasons). Older cars lack safety features and at the age of 16 to 21, safety features are more important than saving a few dollars on car insurance. If you have an older vehicle and the child is planning to drive it primarily, make sure you tell your insurance company so you are not charged for the teenager driving your car as their primary vehicle.
If the Liability laws in your state allow for you to be held responsible for your 18 year old son's actions then if he was in an accident and injuries or damages sustained by the other party are over the car's insurance limits, you and your personal assets (such as your house) may be put at risk if a judgment is found against you in a lawsuit.
If you do not want to have your personal assets at jeopardy, make certain to get high enough limits on the auto insurance policy to protect you. You may also want to think about getting an Umbrella policy.
With an umbrella policy you list what items you want covered (i.e. home, boat, cars, etc) and then those listed items are underwritten and a rate is given for the premium to cover up to 1 or 2 million dollars in liability.
We have partnered with Safeco to help you find the best rate for Umbrella insurance. Safeco's Personal Umbrella policies are competitively priced and offer exceptional coverage. You can receive coverage up to $2 million. Get started with a quote for Umbrella policies here. And you can start shopping around for affordable car insurance for you and your 18 year old son here.

SEATTLE - A Canadian man who attempted to smuggle more than 1,700 pounds of marijuana into the United States in a concealed compartment in a loaded cattle trailer was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison, following an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Edwin R. Fuller, 40, of Cloverdale, British Columbia, was driving a 2003 Peterbilt tractor and towing a cattle trailer with two dozen head of cattle when he attempted to enter the United States at the Sumas, Wash., port of entry in February 2009.
Inspectors with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) noticed a irregularity in the floor of the cattle trailer. They directed Fuller to return to Canada and unload the cattle in holding area so the trailer could be inspected.
The inspection revealed that 1,746 pounds of marijuana was concealed under the floor of the trailer. Fuller was immediately arrested and earlier this year he pleaded guilty to possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.
"Obviously, disrupting the flow of drugs coming across our nation's border is a critical component to keeping those drugs out of our communities and off our streets," said Leigh Winchell, special agent in charge of ICE's Office of Investigations in Seattle. "ICE will continue to target those who seek to profit from this illegal activity."
The marijuana confiscated in the bust is valued at $5 million. The government has moved to seize Fuller's Peterbilt tractor.
During the sentencing hearing, the prosecutor asked for a significant sentence, noting that this was not the first time Fuller had smuggled dope across the border. He also noted that by Fuller's own admission, he had made numerous other trips into the United States with significant amounts of marijuana and was paid large amounts of cash to move the drugs.
ICE was assisted in this investigation by CBP and the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Click here for a full list of this year's nominees.
The Elliot Norton Awards are named for the eminent Boston theater critic Elliot Norton, who remained an active supporter of the drama, both locally and nationally, until his death in 2003 at the age of 100.

The Boston Theater Critics Association, which presents the Elliot Norton Awards, has been a vital participant in the remarkable growth of the Boston theater community at a time in our nation's history when it seems that the arts have an even greater struggle to survive. The awards began as the Norton Medal, first bestowed in 1983. The awards now include a lifetime achievement award– the Norton Prize for Sustained Excellence– and more than a dozen other awards are presented annually to outstanding productions, performers, directors and designers.
The Elliot Norton Awards ceremony also features a guest of honor. That distinguished list has thus far included Edward Albee, Brian Dennehy, Julie Harris, Sir Ian McKellen, Al Pacino, Lynn Redgrave, Jason Robards, August Wilson, and many other theater artists who have enriched the cultural life of our region.

Euro Truck Simulator Demo
editor's review
1 comment
buy now €29.99
Hitting the open road aboard a powerful and imposing truck is the dream of many young boys, especially since it allows you to travel across the continent on a regular basis and change the scenery every few hours. Euro Truck Simulator provides you with the opportunity to do this from the comfort of your own home, by taking cruising across Europe and carrying a wide variety of loads from one city to the other.
A realistic depiction of Europe
As the name implies, the game allows you to explore Europe's largest countries and cities, as well as dash through its biggest highways and admire the landscape. To start off with, though, you first have to choose the country you want to begin in and create your character, which means that you can hit the road starting from Germany, France, or any other country available on the continent.
Naturally, you can also choose the desired truck after the character creation wizard, by looking at the models presented in the showroom. Although you do not have enough money to buy them in the beginning, there are a lot of options you can choose from, all of which come with their own specifications regarding power, durability and the amount of cargo they can carry.
Admire the beautifully rendered trucks and cockpits
Since you will be spending most of your time inside the trucks, the cockpits are carefully designed to provide you with an experience as close to the real thing as possible, with fully-functional gadgets and instruments. Thus, you can see how much fuel you have left, the current speed and RPM, as well as activate the wipers and turn on the lights when you are driving at night.
In addition, the exterior of the vehicles are nicely modeled as well, as is the road and the traffic surrounding you. The landscapes, on the other hand, are rather monotone and repetitive, but that is mainly because the game features a huge playable area and it would have been quite the challenge to include unique surroundings as well.
Lose yourself on the highways for hours at end
In the end, Euro Truck Simulator's greatest strength is the fact that it can captivate you for entire hours without you even noticing, especially since every job you take usually takes quite some time to deliver. In addition, taking care of the load and watching the traffic also distracts you, which can only mean that you get easily hooked on it.

The Martin-Klein American Legion Post 133 in Fort Kent, Maine, is organizing Freedom Fest 2014 [2], an outdoor concert on Aug. 9 in Fort Kent to raise funds for the Northern Maine Veterans Museum & Community Center.
The post is working with the Fort Kent Historical Society and retired Army Staff Sgt. Travis Mills, one of five living quadruple amputees from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. After his injuries, Mills became an advocate for veterans and amputees. In September 2013, he founded the Travis Mills Foundation [3], a nonprofit organization that benefits and assists wounded veterans. Mills and his foundation are actively involved with the Legion on the museum and community center project in Belgrade, Maine.
The goal of the museum and community center is to showcase an area where veterans and civilians can appreciate the sacrifices made by those who served in the military.
Activities during the day-long Freedom Fest include:
Performances by Madison Rising, Spirit of Cash (a Johnny Cash tribute band) and the Thomas Nicholas Band, headlined by one of the stars from the "American Pie" movies.
A motorcycle ride to the festival area. Motorcyclists will be greeted by the Saluting Marine, Tim Chambers.
Parachute jump into the festival area by Mills and first lady of Maine Ann LePage.
"That the first lady will do this means a lot," Post 133 commander and event coordinator Duane Belanger told the Bangor Daily News [4]. "She told me she is scared of heights, and I really have a lot of respect for her."
Tickets for the event, which runs from 9 a.m to midnight, are $35 in advance or $40 at the gate for adults; $25 for 12- to 16-year-olds; and free for children under 12.
Coolers and backpacks will not be allowed inside the venue. However, vendors will be selling different types of food and drink and Post 133 will run a beer garden.

Mike Marqusee complains about it:
The Olympic boosterism treats competitive sport as something it is not and never should be – mandatory.
Norm Geras rolls his eyes:
I've enjoyed quite a few events – the ones that interest me and some odds and ends casually watched – and ignored everything I didn't want to see or didn't have time for; I've read almost nothing from the daily press coverage. Just like that. Anyone who pleads they're overwhelmed by the hype is someone wanting to be annoyed.

Restaurant Revisited: Maniaci's Italian Bistroby Maria Russo in Shows, March 10th, 2013
After their mother passed away five years ago, brothers Geoff, John and Tim Maniaci have struggled with dwindling business at their family's 18-year-old restaurant, Maniaci's Italian Bistro, in Mohnton, Pa. Before its Restaurant: Impossible overhaul, the eatery was losing more than $2,000 per month, and for those whose livelihoods depend on profits, the damages were almost too much to bear. Robert Irvine and his team worked with the brothers to revamp the interior of Maniaci's and rework its menu, as well as to fix the tattered management in the hopes of giving the business a second chance at success. After only two days of renovations, Maniaci's opened its doors again, this time to a packed dining room and with a menu focused on quality food. We checked in with Geoff, John and Tim a few months after Maniaci's transformation to find out how the eatery is doing today.
Since Robert left, business at Maniaci's has indeed increased, and, according to Geoff, the restaurant saw "almost $15,000 in dining room sales for the month of December." Bar sales are up, as well, nearly $6,000 for the same month.
In terms of management, Geoff is now wholly in charge of the restaurant, and he says that "employees like that we are more structured."

The Bathtub Research Project (BRP) is conducted by Dr. Laura Mazow, Department of Anthropology at East Carolina University, in collaboration with Susanne Grieve, Department of History, and Dr. Anthony Kennedy, Department of Chemistry. This multi-faceted research project investigates technology transfer and the impact of technological change in textile production on the Late Bronze and Iron Age (1400-500 BCE) economies of the Near East and East Mediterranean.
"Bathtubs" appear in the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean basin beginning in the 14th to 12th centuries BCE and in Mesopotamia at the end of the 2nd millennium BCE. Typically "bathtubs" are interpreted as bathing or purification vessels. Their find-spots, however, are often in industrial areas or in secondary use in burial contexts (Mazow in submission). Mazow (2008, 2010) has proposed that "bathtubs" were used for textile processing, possibly for fulling wool.
The fulling process mats the woolen textile fibers creating a stronger woven fabric. References to professional fullers are found in Ur III and Linear B texts, yet no Bronze Age fulling establishment has ever been recognized in the archaeological record. Fulling establishments have been identified in the classical world, but the fuller and his craft are virtually unknown in earlier contexts. Based on contextual evidence (e.g. an association between weaving equipment and bathtubs, and similarities between building layouts and Roman fulleries), Mazow has suggested that bathtubs found in Bronze and Iron Age domestic and industrial contexts were used for fulling wool.
The Bathtub Research Project is currently testing this hypothesis by using organic residue analysis to identify a signature of wool fulling and comparing this signature with residue samples collected from Bronze and Iron Age "bathtubs".
