Paddling is open to all age, sex, social and economic groups.
It helps maintain your physical and mental health, and teaches you about
yourself. A paddling school will increase your safety, enjoyment, and skills in
the outdoors. Canoes, kayaks and whitewater rafts are quiet and leave no trace.
They conserve energy and promote conservation of our natural resources, which
belong to all the people and is our birthright.
Questions and Answers
What if I can not swim?
Don't be to concerned. It's more of a question of how comfortable
are you in the water. Wear your personal floatation device (life jacket) at all
times. In rivers you go with the flow and work your way toward shore. It
doesn't require much swimming skill. Take a class and swim a rapid in your PFD,
then decide.
How strenuous is paddling?
You will be active, but if you are in moderately good physical
condition, the challenge will not strain you. There is little danger if you
follow the safety rules and don't try to swim or paddle beyond your skills.
What about children?
It depends on the child and the challenge of your specific trip.
It is a fascinating, rewarding experience for a child who is prepared for an
outdoor challenge, and who can easily adjust to the company of adults and the
discipline that water and water/river safety requires. Keep in mind there may
be others in your group who prefer a trip away from children. You know your
child best.
Am I going to get wet, and how should I dress?
Yes. Water does splash on you. Wear a swim suit, and shoes that
can get wet but won't come off your feet. Foot injury is the most common
injury, from walking around on uneven terrain and broken glass. Shoes should be
worn at all times. Wet suit booties or wool sox keep your feet warm. Bring a
nylon wind shell, a glasses strap, sunscreen, chapstick, and some extra warm
clothes. Have a towel and a dry set of clothes and shoes to get into after your
What do I do with my camera?
There are water tight boxes for cameras. If you have an
exceptionally valuable camera, leave it at home. An old metal ammo box works
well lined with foam and tied into your boat.
Is there any fishing on paddling trips?
Yes. State fishing licenses should be obtained before the trip.
You should bring a small folding type rod that can be stored easily when not in
What is a good trip for a first timer?
If you have never paddled before stay on flatwater. You can't get
into to much trouble, but remember if you capsize it can be a long, cold swim
to shore. Take a class before attempting rivers.
How do I get back to my car?
Run a shuttle. Meet your group at the bottom/end of a river trip.
Leave enough cars at the take-out to take drivers back to their cars at the
put-in where you started.
When is the best time to go on a river trip?
May and June are high water months on most rivers. Some rivers
may be runnable only at that time. Others may be too high to be safe. Many
rivers are dam controlled and are runnable all summer. Check locally to find
out. Weather can also be a factor.

To the Beautiful You, the K-drama retelling of popular Japanese manga Hanazakari no Kimitachi e, has been rolling out teasers like crazy over the last few weeks. Several commercial spots and countless photos of the cast have been released in preparation for one of the most anticipated dramas of the summer. And we can't wait…In To the Beautiful You, Goo Jaehee (f(x)'s Sulli) poses as a boy and enrolls at an all-boys high school. Why? To meet her idol and high jump gold-medalist Kang Taejoon (SHINee's Minho), of course. Along the way, the two get tangled in a love triangle with charming soccer player Cha Eun Gyul (Lee Hyun Woo). If the story follows the original plot, equal parts romance and hilarity will ensue.
With the 2012 London Olympics now in progress, special press attention has been paid to Minho's dedication to his character, a highly-skilled high jump athlete. Apparently, one of the filming days consisted of two hours of continuous shooting in Korea's extreme summer heat for a high jump scene. Staff on set reported that Minho didn't break character even once. Impressive.
Rounding out the supporting cast of characters are actress Kim Ji Won (High Kick 3), actor Yoo Min Kyu (Shut Up: Flower Boy Band), ZE:A's Kwanghee, members of EXO, and more.
To the Beautiful You will air its pilot episode on August 15th.

This partner review is for: Juiced Technologies, Inc.
We are using Exact Form Plus & Courrier. I still don't understand why it's doesn't exist natively in Quickbase : it's absolutely essential for specific processes automation.
Very nice & responsive support from Juiced

I'm really happy to have Keith on our team. We met via the community chat, so I could easily see that Juiced had a specific solution to a need we had. I'm delighted to have an ongoing service agreement that greatly enhances the value of quickbase to us with quick, inexpensive, high quality customized solutions. I appreciate the "can do" attitude and follow through.

Keith and Todd are just awesome! These guys are great, and their plug-ins make everything work better! I love Quickbase already but the plug-ins that Juiced created are like putting your app on steroids. They are so reasonably priced and support is always handled timely.
Love these guys!!!

Our company has had an online reporting system that involved a Coldfusion application which had to be downloaded into an Excel file and then uploaded into a customized Microsoft Access database. This enabled our 25 remote employees to report transactions online so that we could invoice our dealer network and then process commissions, but involved an IT consultant, on a monthly retainer, to manage.
We learned about Quickbase through another business partner and after examination, and a review by an Intuit developer, they determined that Quickbase would be a viable option for us. Due to the complexity of the transfer of data, and our desire to replicate many of the functions and reports that we enjoyed using Access, they referred us to Juiced Technologies, Inc., and specifically Todd Jusas, for full development of this application.
From the very beginning, Todd has been extremely patient, accessible, and understanding of our needs. He handled the transfer of data and the re-creation of all of the functions and reports we required with ease, and has worked tirelessly to make the appropriate adjustments to insure a smooth transition. It took us 90 days, but we went live on September 1, 2012, under our projected budget for buildout, and it has been very smooth sailing ever since.
We don't just like Quickbase, WE LOVE IT! Not only can we capture the same data, real time, but since it is Cloud-based, our management team can access the information from Miami to Atlanta, without any software issues! Further, utilizing the built in CRM (customer relationship management) system, our closing ratios have improved 4% in two months. Once all of our team members are utilizing the CRM to their benefit, we expect our results to exceed a 10% improvement on closing ratio alone.
We could not be happier with our decision to go to Quickbase. Further, we are grateful that Intuit referred us to a developer, with vast Access application experience, who made this critical transition for us so smooth. Best of all, WE are now in control of our reporting system and we have been able to save the substantial monthly retainer for our IT consultant which more than covers the monthly fee from Intuit. Quite simply, we have joined the 21st century and save money each and every month. This was a no-brainer and our only regret is that we did not do it sooner!
In closing, without the professionalism, wide breadth of knowledge and personal interest of Todd Jusas of Juiced Technologies, we do not believe we would be where we are today. Todd and Juiced get our very HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION and the reader should know that we have retained them on an ongoing basis for any of our future servicing needs. That should speak volumes about our confidence in them.
Sincerely yours,
Bill Goldberg, President

Todd at Juiced Technologies has helped us with two different issues. We needed a scheduler to assist us in seeing the availability for our 30 or so installers. This was installed within a few days of speaking to Todd and he has tweeked it so that it operates "the way WE want it to". He also tweeked it so it displays on a tablet so that you do not require a hover to see the information.
He also set us up with a method to store our documents on Amazan S3 which is way less expensive than the onboard storage in Quickbase if you have need for large amounts of document storage.
Todd has responded quickly to our urgent concerns and makes changes in a reliable and timely fashion.
I would recommend Juiced Technologies as a great resource partner for you in your use of Quickbase.
The use of Quickbase and Juiced technologies along with dedicated hard work by people in our company to grow to 4 times what the business was running on spreadsheets and manual docs etc WITHOUT ADDING A SINGLE SOUL IN THE OFFICE.
Lastly, even with this growth, my cell phone minutes per month immediately dropped from just over 7000 to less than 100. DUDE, I have a life now thanks to Quickbase and Juiced Technologies. (oh ya, we did write a killer app to manage all of our business details as well)

We use Juiced Technologies for two separate products. They have provided custom programming to allow us to use QuickBase in a way we cannot otherwise that solved a very large issue in one of our workflows. We also are a heavy user of Exact Forms Plus.
Juiced is very responsive to our inquiries when when have issues or need changes.

I love working with Keith from Juiced Technologies. With lots of QuickBase developers to choose from, bedside manner counts. Keith is kind, he listens closely, and asks good questions. His goal is to serve, and he never makes me feel stupid. That's just the start! To make my life even easier, he responds promptly, is willing to stretch himself to learn new things just to accomplish my impossible requests. His scripts, connectors, and 'Extracts' have really saved us considerable time as we work with multiple software applications with QuickBase at the heart of them all. Juiced Technologies is a priceless consultant for us.

I have been working with Juiced Technologies for the last seven months using the S3 Amazon link to store documents. This feature has allowed both vendors and internal employees to load required documents. This has reduced the number of emails being sent to be reduced and allowed the project to go all electronic.

When my company began looking at a customised online case management system for our international investigation business, we analysed what was on offering in the market at the time. We had used a previous software program, however after discussing our immediate needs and long term objectives with a Quickbase sales consultant we discussed the project with Juiced Tech.
From the very outset, Juiced Tech presented a very detailed business plan, pricing and scope of work because they understood our needs, requirements and what would be the need for ongoing support for our continued growth.
Keith Jusas understood what we needed in our international business with multiple currencies, jurisdictions, services and vendors in nearly every country around the world, wanting access and delivering reports, updates and documents to a central repository. This is where Juiced excelled, being able to create data for every aspect of our business from investigators, case managers and clients to third party vendors and experts.
Juiced Tech also helped us develop an international electronic library for our clients which provide the ability for them to access data within Quickbase. Quickbase as a whole has been the key differentiator for our company.
If you are looking for customisation, ongoing support and add on applications, I have no hesitation at all in recommending the team at Juiced Tech.
Please do not hesitate to contact me directly if you require any further information.

Todd Jusas at Juiced Technology has provided me much needed help over the past couple of years. I had zero experience building databases before I began using Quickbase to develop a data-collection tool for my firm to use on complex projects. I regularly call Todd, explain what I want to do, and talk through options with him. He then makes the changes to the applicationoften on the spot and teaches me how to do the same, so I am not dependent on him each time I need to do something.
Todd is very good at implementation if you can define the issue specifically rather than presenting a general problem.
Another thing to keep in mind is that if you are a small account and the issue is not an emergency, you may have to wait a few days to hear back from Todd. And if a problem cannot be solved instantly, it may be a week or ten days before it is resolved. (This is understandable, since Juiced is also a small company and needs to pay its own bills; you just need to plan accordingly.)

I have had the opportunity to work with Juiced Technologies, Inc. for many years and cant say enough about the service and commitment they provide my firm. Due to their experience and efforts, Quickbase is now an integral part of our everyday business. In addition, through Add-Ons, Juiced has been able to provide solutions that Quickbase was unable to provide. We currently use several Juiced Technology developed Add-Ons today. As a user of Quickbase for many years, I sincerely recommend Juiced Technologies, Inc. and know you will be happy with their service.

I contacted Todd at Juiced Technologies, Inc. with a need for a dispatching system for a new segment of my business. Sounds simple, right? Well, I needed to import legacy data from an old system and I needed to have it all up and running in 1 weeks time. Not only did they make the dead line with all the functionality that was in the old system, they enhanced it and my people love the new system so much better. Quickbase was such a great platform for me, because it allowed all my staff, both in-house and remote, to have access to the system. Juiced handled the project with speed and the upmost professionalism! I would highly recommend them and Quickbase for your next database project.

In an effort to reduce the piracy problem, Microsoft plans to implement several strategies to implement their product activation. Ever since Microsoft launched their Windows XP operating software, pirates have been unlocking each new versions of the operating system successfully. This leads to great loss in revenue for Microsoft, and they are planning to implement new strategies and policies for reviewing and making the operating system secure and unbreakable.
The new Windows 8 operating system from the Microsoft family also faced the same fate when hackers released a copy of their OEM version in the internet for free. The activation code for the operating system was then shortly released to the net. So now, Microsoft is planning to implement new strategies for obtaining the OEM key so that the distribution of the product license becomes difficult.
At first, most of the companies used a single key to activate their shipped machines around the world, this was the main reason for the hacking of the OEM operating systems, as if you get one code you will be able to use that for any number of machines. However, with the unveiling of their new Windows 8.1 operating system, Microsoft has something different in store for protecting their OEM systems. Each product will be now shipped with a separate unique OEM activation code so that no other device can be activated using that code.
This activation key will be written in the BIOS of the system, so that only the system in which it is written will be activated by using that key. This new policy acts as a blow not only to the software pirates, but also to crooked OEMs who try to avoid paying license fees to Microsoft for installing the OS in their devices. Now with the new strategy, OEMs will have to pay for every activation key they procure. Another improvement Microsoft has made is the presence of a genuine Microsoft certificate of authenticity on OEM devices.
But this new strategy will be applicable only for Windows 8 operating system. If the move succeeds as Microsoft has planned, then almost all operating systems from Microsoft will be moved to follow the new policy. However, these changes of policies will not affect the end user if he is not trying to install a pirated version of the Windows operating system. For knowing more about the new activation policy of Microsoft, visit the Microsoft support site.

Solutions For Hair Loss
why you're losing itIn genetically predisposed individuals, sensitivity to a class of hormones called androgens, in particular the hormone dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, causes hair follicles to shrink. The scalp begins to sprout hairs that are thinner than normal and fail to grow to normal length.
Eventually the follicles wither away and no hair grows at all. In this scenario, thinning hair eventually progresses to chrome dome stage when the follicles cease to function. But it doesn't have to be that way.
stop the hair lossMen who suffer from male pattern hair loss have several options. They can either choose to chemically treat hair loss, get artificial wigs or weaves if drug treatment is ineffective or impossible, or invest in a permanent solution; hair transplant surgery.
The only FDA approved drugs available to medically treat hair loss are Propecia (Finasteride) and Rogaine (Minoxidil). Both products slow further thinning of hair and increase coverage of the scalp. Propecia inhibits the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles, whereas Rogaine stimulates hair follicles.
Neither medication will produce full regrowth of hair and the length or texture may be slightly altered in areas of regrowth. Also, the effectiveness of medications depends on the cause of hair loss, the extent of the loss and individual response rates; both products work best if hair loss is recent (within five years) and occurs on the top of the head rather than near the forehead.
Usually the drugs take at least a couple of months to produce a noticeable effect. However, these medications need to be taken continuously. If the medications are stopped, any hair that has grown in will gradually be lost, and within six to 12 months, the scalp will look the way it did prior to treatment.
Wigs & weaves
If a man has medical conditions or allergies that may interfere with the use of pharmaceutical solutions for hair loss, or chooses not to undergo hair replacement surgery, he may opt for a wig, toupee or weave. Specialty wig shops can offer realistic looking pieces made from human hair or realistic looking synthetic materials. However, as many a man who has shamefully lost his toupee to a strong gust of wind, hairpieces are artificial, may look unnatural, and may simply fall off at the worst of times.
Hair restoration
Hair transplantation is a permanent form of hair replacement. Anyone who has suffered permanent hair loss may be a candidate for hair transplantation. For instance, Bosley is one of the world's most experienced hair restoration practices, with many consultation and treatment centers located across the United States.
The surgical transplanting of hair follicles is a remarkably simple outpatient procedure. According to Bosley.com, the procedure of hair transplantation involves moving some hair from hair-bearing portions (donor sites) of the head (usually the horseshoe-shaped area at the very back of the head), to bald or thinning portions (recipient sites) and/or removing bald skin.
Because the procedure involves time, patience, surgery, and at least two repeat procedures, as well as the considerable investment of money (between $4,000 and $10,000 US), transplantation should only be done by a qualified, board-certified and experienced surgeon.
a full head of hairWith proper techniques and solutions, hair loss can be minimized. If you suffer from hair loss, invest the time and research treatment options and weigh the benefits of replacing lost or thinning hair. After all, a full head of hair not only influences the way others perceive you professionally and personally, but can influence the way you view yourself.

#ChipotlePartyWithKei as told on Twitter
On his first day back from the English Premier League on Monday, it's hardly a surprise that Sporting KC forward Kei Kamara made a visit to chow down some long-coveted Chipotle. It was the entourage that accompanied him to Chipotle on the Plaza that has people talking as Kamara invited all his Twitter followers to join him for free burritos and then surprised them even further with Sporting KC tickets to his first match back at Sporting Park on Wednesday.

Final Quinnipiac Poll: McAuliffe 46, Cuccinelli 40, Sarvis 8 (Updated)
8:38 AM, Nov 4, 2013 • By MICHAEL WARREN
A final poll from Quinnipiac on Tuesday's gubernatorial race in Virginia shows Democrat Terry McAuliffe with a six-point lead over Republican rival Ken Cuccinelli. Forty-six percent of likely Virginia voters say they will vote for McAuliffe, according to the poll, while 40 percent say they'll vote for Cuccinelli. Eight percent say they will vote for the Libertarian party candidate, Robert Sarvis. Here's more from Quinnipiac:
Without Sarvis in the race, McAuliffe leads Cuccinelli 49 percent to 42 percent.
The Real Clear Politics poll average gives McAuliffe a six-point lead over Cuccinelli. In the final day of campaigning, McAuliffe will be joined by Vice President Joe Biden, while Cuccinelli is rallying with Florida senator Marco Rubio and former Texas congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul.
Update: Cuccinelli campaign manager Chris LaCavita points out a disparity in the demographics of Quinnipiac's last two polls:
Indeed, while Monday's poll found an electorate that was 32 percent Democratic, 27 percent Republican, and 33 percent independent, the Quinnipiac poll from last week (which showed a closer race between the Democrat and Republican) was 29 percent Democratic, 31 percent Republican, and 31 percent independent.
Could Monday's six-point lead for McAuliffe reflect a much more Democratic electorate than will show up Tuesday at the polls? Or did high-profile appearances by national Democratic leaders like President Barack Obama boost Democratic enthusiasm?

May Letter
Here we are, again, beginning to think about summer. How is this even possible? It seems like Christmas was just last month. It sounds so cliché to talk about how fast time flies, but it really is just stunning to me that it goes so quickly. I feel like all I do is hurry, hurry, hurry, and I know that one day I'm going to wake up and realize that I've hurried through an entire decade – or two.
My boy-child is often the victim of my hurriedness. You see, I have a scrupulous regard for punctuality and probably create more stress than necessary when things aren't precisely on schedule. (I think the medical professionals call it obsessive-compulsive disorder – which I find to be particularly harsh-sounding). One morning on our way to school, we were running late, and my son started to get worked up about it. Of course, he comes by this naturally. His frustration, however, quickly reached the point of a mini-drama-filled-end-of-the-world-styled-meltdown (he was acting like me – sigh). After a series of failed efforts at calming him with various expressions of rationale and logic, my final attempt went something like this: "Dude, suck it up."
And like magic, it was over.
These four words had stopped the outright emotional hemorrhaging that was the result of our impending tardiness. Not exactly a Hallmark moment, but it worked. But I realized, in that very instant, that I was transferring a behavior to my child that could burden him as an adult – not to mention burden those who would eventually have to endure it. That's way worse than being late – to anything. It became a big learning moment for me. I prayed to the dear Lord that I hadn't done irreparable damage to my sweet and impressionable child. I would vow, in that moment, to learn to relax and roll with the punches. Take life as it comes. Just chill out – so to speak.
It's easy to let things balloon out of proportion, and as I get older, I have a tendency to worry more and more about things that I can do nothing about. (I also happen to have Pre-Empty Nest Syndrome. I dread the day that my child leaves for college to the point that I can barely talk about it. He's in the fourth grade.) But chronic worrying is actually a mental habit – and it, like other habits, can be broken. Apparently, you can train your brain to stay calm. You know, find the positive . . . blah, blah, blah. I'll work on that.
So, several months later we took a quick weekend family getaway to the Grand Hotel at Point Clear, one of our favorite spots. My husband and I had made the same trip a couple of times, "pre-child," so it felt particularly nostalgic to be there as a family. The timing was perfect, too. Things had been somewhat stressful at work, my husband was traveling a good bit more than usual and my boy-child was becoming more and more active with his various team sports and commitments. All three of us were like ships passing in the night.
So there I was, sitting fireside at sunset, with my family, on the bay, and was struck by the fact that nearly a decade had already passed since we had become a pack. Tears welled up in my eyes. My son looked over at me, got up, and came straight to my side. He's always been so tender hearted and open and giving. He asked me what was wrong and through my tears I tried to explain to him that I was just happy . . . and thankful. I told him that I never imagined in a million years that my life would turn out so beautifully and that he was responsible for so much of that happiness. (I dared not tell him that in that same moment, I was dreading the day he left for college.)
He put both his hands on my face and just stared into my eyes. It felt like he was staring into my soul. There we were – my sweet child and me. A few seconds passed before he whispered, "Are you okay?" "I am," I said. "Good . . . now suck it up!"
And like magic, it was over.
In the mind of a child, minutes are like hours – and I was wasting precious time being all melancholy and forlorn. It took a child to make me realize that I can either spend my time dreading the inevitable or spend it experiencing the joy of our moment together. It was a poignant lesson.
I tell this story because as parents, we've all been struck by the sadness of what is to come. My hope for us all, though, is that we see life as our children see it – where minutes are like hours, and where we treasure each moment. Life is made up of moments, and I don't want to waste another one.
Thank you for picking up this month's issue. It's great having you as one of our readers. Enjoy!

"Whereas computer designs often focus on making a machine look professional and sophisticated, the E4600 XFR has something a little more rough, almost animalistic to it."
Karim Beerahee
The Dell latitude E6400 XFR is a laptop like no other. Whereas computer designs often focus on making a machine look professional and sophisticated, the E4600 XFR has something a little more rough, almost animalistic to it. This laptop is designed for field use: it is rugged in looks and build because it's heavily armoured and capable of keeping you connected in the most extreme of environments. I have to confess at the start of this review that we couldn't find it in our budget to send both reviewer and laptop to the Arctic or Sahara in order to test this laptop fully but take another look at the Dell Latitude E6400 XFR and you can just tell it's a survivor.
What we like best
The ballistic armour protection is exclusive to Dell's Latitude E6400 XFR. It prevents damage by shock and also works to keep this laptop fully functioning in dusty rainy or snowy environments. The XFR is said to work within a range of 63˚C and -29˚C. If you are travelling to areas of such extremes then it's more than likely you'll have a terrain vehicle, and this laptop can be installed into such cars with its docking feature. This will surely come in handy from a military or police perspective, as well as for those of you who really need to get out there to work – construction and geology come to mind.
The design of the Dell Latitude E6400 XFR will keep you computing in all circumstances. It has a backlit keyboard so you can work at night, and oversized port covers so you can easily attach accessories whilst wearing gloves. The SSD port is doubly protected by the ballistic armour and an internal cage built to absorb shock and thermal energy.
What we like least
The Dual Core is still a reliable processor but does not represent cutting edge technology anymore, and 128 Gb SSD isn't exactly a mammoth amount of space, either. For a survival laptop you'll get about 4 hours of use which could be hazardous unless you carry a spare battery. Plus, you might have to forsake those late night solitaire sessions.
The verdict
Nevertheless the Dell Latitude E6400 XFR is undoubtedly a safe pair of hands, and won't demand even that much of you since you can drop it and it won't turn off. The 14.1 inch LCD screen featuring DirectVue technology gives excellent visuals in all conditions, and what more could you need when going out into the wild?

Review: Miss Fury #8
The Pharaoh of Time is alive and he and his enormous mothership have come to 1943's New York City for Miss Fury. But which one will he find? The immoral murderer with the samurai sword, the titanic stash of grenades and the epic love of debauchery or the Miss Fury who is lost in time, grasping for a sense of sanity and for the good inside her? It's a metaphysical battle played out with martial arts as two futures of our hero fight for supremacy, and only one Miss Fury is getting out alive.
Miss Fury is back in action this month in the eighth issue of her new series. The issue is written by Rob Williams with art by Jack Herbert. Ivan Nunes handles colors with Simon Bowland tackling lettering. Miss Fury is in an alternate dimension where the other Miss Fury is a little wilder than our Ms. Drake. How do the two women get along this month?
The Pharaoh of Time has his ship hovering over New York, but no one can see it accept for our Miss Fury. She knows something bad is about to happen and the only person that can help her is herself. Fearing her alternate dimension self is marked for death, Ms. Drake hightails it back to her other version's apartment. A battle with some futuristic cyborg ensues and things go from bad to worse. With nowhere else to turn, our Fury has to call upon an unlikely ally and an unbelievable sacrifice has to be made. Who makes it out alive? Is there any chance of the time travelling Pharaoh's plans being stopped?
Williams writes a great issue. Miss Fury has always been at odds with herself, but now she is literally at odds with herself. Williams really plays up a lot of interesting themes by actually having a lot of Miss Fury's internal struggles playing out, still insider herself, but also with the other Miss Fury. The time traveling story is still in play although the board and the pieces in play are becoming much clearer. Herbert's art is his best yet. From the characters, to the backgrounds, and the action, Herbert keeps everything very crisp and clean. Miss Fury has always been an interesting book, but it seems Williams and Herbert have really found their groove. Herbert's art is elevated thanks to Nunes' colors. The colors go from very old school WWII looking settings to bright and poppy when the sci-fi elements kick in.
Bottom Line: Miss Fury is really firing on all cylinders now. The story is taken to the next level and it seems like our heroine is getting closer to completing her ultimate goal. 4/5

LOGAN, Utah - Utah State soccer (9-5-3, 5-2-1 MW) concludes its busy three-match week on Sunday, Oct. 27 at Chuck and Gloria Bell Soccer Field, hosting San Diego State. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. The Aggies have gone 3-0-1 in their last four matches, and are looking to keep their unbeaten streak rolling.
The Aztecs are currently alone in first-place in the Mountain West with a 9-6-2 overall record and a 7-1-0 mark in league play. SDSU now stand alone in first after a 1-0 win against Boise State on Friday. The Aztecs' only conference loss came against Wyoming, 2-1, on Oct. 13.

How is Alaska Backpackers Inn rated on other websites?
Alaska Backpackers Inn Reviews from the Web
Hostelz.com Guest Reviews
Not so good I can feel warm. — HSIENCHUN, age 43, TAIWAN (2013-08-29)
Cleanest and Safest Hostel I've Stayed In! I highly recommend Alaska Backpackers Inn. The entire facility was clean, safe guarded with swipe cards and security cameras, and friendly staff. — Melissa, age 27, USA (2013-06-12)
Vary clean and affordable! The Alaska Backpackers Inn was very affordable in a town where accommodations are expensive. The room was clean, neat, and quiet. The laundry room was available for reasonable times every day. The location was convenient to downtown and the Railroad Station. — Barbara, age 74, USA (2013-06-11)
Great location, great amenities very clean, downtown location with good social area and kitchen. Better mattresses would've made my sleep more comfortable, but I'd stay here again. — wayne, usa (2013-05-29)
This establishment is poorly lighted with minimal low wattage bulbs and is very poorly cleaned. The beds have old style mattresses on inadequate spring frames. Bathrooms are dirty and the toilet rolls and paper towel dispensers are not refilled for several days when they are emptied. Kitchen facilities are oily, not cleaned properly, and cramped. There has never been a manager making rounds for cleanliness inspection during the entire week while I have been here. The site cleaning help do not clean properly or enforce the cleanliness rules that are published on most facility walls. — John D, USA (2012-09-05)
Great people, safe environment, excellent location I love this hostel, one of the best I've ever stayed at! I stayed here 3 times in a trip, and was very pleased with the accommodations each time. The owner is very friendly, I felt very safe in the building, the downstairs kitchen and lounge area is a great place to meet people, and the bathrooms and bedrooms are great and clean. It's the perfect walking distance from downtown, but not on a super busy street that is noisy at night. Free internet is always a plus too. I will 100% stay here next time I'm in the area! — Hannah, USA (2011-06-15)
Filthy, pooly staffed, and rude. The guy running the door when I called could not give me directions to the hostel from what turned out to be just 2 miles away. When I showed up, he made me wait 30 minutes while he tried to sell a package a previous guest had left behind the day before. Then, he sold me a bed in a room with no empty beds (not to mention the place is absolutely filthy). When I asked for my money back, the man at the desk called me an asshole. Unbelievable. It then took him 30 minutes to figure out how to refund my money. As a side note, the woman working their sister hostel in Girdwood was AMAZING and helped me fix the whole situation. — Anonymous (2010-07-11)
In general a pretty good hostel Nice people, nice building, nice location although I was scared the first time walking around (summer is fine with many hours of light). Just wish they had more showers. Needed to wait a while to get shower during the two days I was around. The bedroom I stayed was not that clean -- cleaning the floor and leaving the windows open in a hot day would make a good difference. I would stay there again. Probably was the best choice in downtown. — tirsha, Canada (2008-07-08)

School Library Monthly/Volume XXVI, Number 5/January 2010
Student Inquiry and Web 2.0
by Pam Berger
Pam Berger is a library consultant, adjunct instructor at iSchool, Syracuse University, and editor of Information Searcher Newsletter. She is the author of Best Web 2.0 Tools for Teaching and Learning in the Digital World (Libraries Unlimited, forthcoming, spring, 2010). Email: email@example.com
Web 2.0 applications are changing how educators interact both with each other and with their students. Educators can use these new Web tools daily to create, share, socialize, and collaborate with students, colleagues, and newly developed network contacts. School librarians are finding that Web 2.0 tools are bringing them more ways to embrace and promote new learning environments for the 21st-century learner.
Changing Times
A few years ago, students would search online in a few databases, type their research papers in Word, print them, and hand them into their teachers, perhaps sharing the key points with classmates through a PowerPoint presentation. Times have changed; using Web 2.0 tools, these same students can collaboratively locate, evaluate, and share relevant Web-based resources using a social bookmarking Web site. They can post, edit, and share their findings on a class wiki incorporating links to videos, photographs, podcasts, and other online resources for their teachers, classmates, and others to view and offer feedback. They can collaborate with peers, manage and organize information, work in teams, and learn real-life skills. Typical Web 2.0 style services can include blogging, user tagging, RSS feeds, wikis, user ratings, user comments, video and photo sharing, community citation services, social bookmarking, and microblogging.
Web 2.0 Characteristics in Schools
Although Tim O'Reilly was thinking in a broader perspective when he coined the term "Web 2.0," many of the concepts and ideas clearly relate to technology use in the school. Web 2.0 characteristics support the principles of good teaching and learning—active participation and collaboration.
- User participation. Web 2.0 applications encourage users to share their ideas, opinions, content, and more. "A core concept of Web 2.0 is that people are the content of the site. That is, a site is not populated with information for users to consume. Instead, services are provided to individual users for them to build their network of friends and other groups (professional, recreational, etc.). The content of a site then comprises user provided information that attracts new members of an ever-expanding network" (O'Reilly 2005).
Social networking sites are probably most often associated with this concept since the primary purpose is to build networks. Facebook and My Space are the most popular and well known, with a combined membership of 380 million active accounts. There are also specialized online network sites such as Shelfari, Good Reads, and Library Thing for book lovers that attract over 3 million Americans. Steve Hargadon, in his blog on Infinite Thinking Machine states, "Social networks are really collections of Web 2.0 technologies combined in a way that help to build online communities" (http://www.infinitethinking.org/2008/01/social-networking-in-education.html). The focus is on building online communities that involve grouping specific individuals or organizations together. Social networking moved from "a niche activity into a phenomenon that engages tens of millions of Internet users" (Lenhart and Madden 2007).
- Harnessing Collective Intelligence. Collective Intelligence is defined as "a form of intelligence that emerges from the collaboration and competition of many individuals" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_intelligence). It is based on the Web's original premise of shared information. "Hyperlinking is the foundation of the Web. As users add new content, and new sites, it is bound into the structure of the Web by other users discovering the content and linking to it. Much as synapses form in the brain, with associations becoming stronger through repetition or intensity, the web of connections grows organically as an output of the collective activity of all Web users" (O'Reilly 2005).
New applications, services, and tools have been developed to allow users to more directly share with each other. Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia is an online encyclopedia that anyone can add to or edit, del.icio.us is a social bookmarking site, and Flickr is a photo sharing tool; these are a few pioneers of Web 2.0 services. A typical application of "harnessing the collective intelligence" in a school setting is a wiki, an easily created Web site where multiple users can add and edit content. It is a great resource for students to use to collaborate on such projects as research papers, team projects, and study guides.
- Collaboration. Free, flexible, and server-based programs are readily available to use for collaboration. Students can open their browsers and begin to edit word processing documents or spreadsheets in Google Docs or Zoho Notebook; create mindmaps in Bubbl.Us or Mindmeister; organize, share, and swap information in Wikispaces; and even hold online meetings in Skype. Students no longer need to save a document and email it to a classmate, edit it, and send it back. Today''s electronic documents allow collaborators to work in a synchronous environment on a single document; groups of students can create, share, and edit them online. Students can connect with each other and explore how their interests and abilities can be used to enhance class projects.
Transition to Wired and Mobile
Educators in all types of school and economic levels are increasingly dealing with a student population that is more wired and has grown up in a highly digital atmosphere. They have been trained to absorb and process information in fundamentally different ways from previous generations. These young people are leading the transition to a fully wired and mobile nation (see Figure 1). The majority of teens in the United States, 87% of those aged 12 to 17, use the Internet—that's 21 million youth. Seventy-five percent of teens who use the Internet, or about two-thirds of all teenagers, use instant messaging (IM) and 54% know more IM screen names than home telephone numbers.
The Internet is the primary communication tool for teens: 70% use instant messaging to keep in touch and 56% prefer the Internet to the telephone. Teens are utilizing the interactive capabilities of the Internet as they create and share their own media creations. Fully half of the teens who use the Internet could be considered content creators (Lenhart and Madden 2005).
Figure 1: "A Vision of K-12 Students Today," TeacherTube. http://teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=47293&title=A_Vision_of_K_12_Students_Today
Instructional Design for Inquiry
Most of the professional literature on pedagogy advises that it is best to prepare students for the complex world in which they will live and work. To do this, educators should develop interactive, inquiry-based, technology-rich curriculum. According to Bransford and his colleagues, active, rather than passive, learners are better able to understand complex material and can more effectively transfer information and concepts learned in one setting to the process of solving problems encountered in another (1999). Not surprisingly, research shows that today's digital students learn more when engaged in meaningful, relevant, and intellectually stimulating schoolwork and that the use of technology can increase the frequency for this type of learning (NCREL and the Metiri Group 2003).
In developing the Standards for the 21st-Century Learner, the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) identified nine common beliefs that support learning. The second belief, which states, "Inquiry provides a framework for learning," focuses on students developing not only the skills, "but also the disposition to use the skills, along with an understanding of their own responsibilities and self-assessment strategies" (2007). The inquiry approach is focused on using and learning content as a means to develop information-processing and problem-solving skills. It's a student-centered approach with the teacher as a facilitator of learning. Students are involved in the construction of knowledge through active involvement and, most importantly, asking questions; questions are at the heart of inquiry learning.
Barbara Stripling explains that inquiry requires active engagement and that "inquiry places students at the heart of learning by empowering them to follow their sense of wonder into new discoveries and insights about the way the world works" (Stripling 2003, 4). Students identify what they already know, ask intriguing questions about what they do not know, investigate the answers, construct new understandings, and share those understandings with others. The entire process is permeated with reflection and critical thinking, so that the result of inquiry is not only deep learning about the inquiry question, but also the development of skills for independent learning.
The Stripling Inquiry Model has six phases; however, it's not a linear process but rather a recursive one in which the learner might revisit a previous stage to ask additional questions or organize information, as the need arises. Each phase involves critical thinking skills that empower young people to learn on their own and develop the thinking skills to be independent, lifelong learners. The phases are as follows:
- Connect: observe, experience, connect a subject to self and previous knowledge
- Wonder: predict, develop questions and hypotheses
- Investigate: find and evaluate information to answer questions, test hypotheses
- Construct: draw conclusions, arrive at new understandings
- Express: apply understandings to a new context, share learning with others
- Reflect: examine one's own learning and ask new questions (Stripling 2003, 8).
Technology and, in particular, Web 2.0 tools and services can be used throughout the inquiry process to support the appropriate thinking skills. The key is to focus on student learning, not the Web 2.0 technology. The focus is on the phase(s) of inquiry at which students are concentrating and deciding which technology tool can best support the thinking processes and instructional strategies of that phase of inquiry. This increases the effectiveness of both the learning experience and the use of technology. An outline of the inquiry phases aligned with Web 2.0 technology tools and instructional strategies can be seen in Figure 2.

For Web sites that support inquiry and Standards for the 21st-Century Learner, log on to AASL's "Top 25 Websites for Teaching and Learning" (http://ala.org/aasl/bestlist). This link has a list that "honors Websites, tools, and resources of exceptional value to inquiry-based teaching and learning as embodied in the American Association of School Librarians' Standards for the 21st-Century Learner. The 'Top 25 Websites' foster the qualities of innovation, creativity, active participation, and collaboration. They are free, Web-based sites that are user friendly and encourage a community of learners to explore and discover" (http://ala.org/aasl/bestlist).
In Summary
Web 2.0 applications support the principles of good teaching and learning—active participation and collaboration. To meet the learning needs of students today, educators, including school librarians, must embrace these tools in a way that supports interactive, inquiry based, technology-rich learning. All must be accomplished in a way that increases the effectiveness of both the learning experience and the use of technology. School librarians can be key players in helping establish this type of learning and teaching environment by making use of the resources available (e.g. inquiry models, AASL's Standards for the 21st-Century Learner, the AASL "Top 25 Websites," etc.). They must learn about, use, and teach the the application of Web 2.0 tools for student learning. In this way school librarians can provide leadership for meeting the needs of the 21st-century learners as they work with classroom teachers and students.
Harnessing the Learning Power of Web 2.0
A distinguishing characteristic of Web 2.0 tools is the ability to harness the collective intelligence and encourage collaboration, thus allowing users to share and collaborate. Each type of Web 2.0 tool accomplishes this task in a different way.
Organizing and Managing Information. The tools in this group are well suited to support the Investigate and Construct phases of inquiry. They support development of organizational skills and are usually described as arranging, categorizing, extracting, grouping, and selecting. It's through this process of organization that students start to see patterns and relationships between pieces of information, thus helping them to make sense of the information. The tools generally fall into five categories: start pages, graphic organizers, calendars, outliners, and list makers. A few examples are Mindmeister (http://www.mindmeister.com), Netvibes (http://www.netvibes.com), 30Boxes (http://30boxes.com), and LooseStitch (http://loosestitch.com).
Content Collaboration. These tools create a space for collaboration, content development, and interaction and encourage analysis and synthesis of information in the Construct phase of inquiry. A few examples are Google Docs (http://docs.google.com), Wikispaces (http://www.wikispaces.com), and Zoho Notebook (http://zoho.com).
Media Sharing is incorporated into the inquiry process during the Express phase when students share their new understandings. When student create their own media, they are active participants in their own learning; their interest and motivation increases because they are in control of their learning. Students are engaged, learning improves, and products are created and made available for others to share, interact, and learn from. The projects created through these tools are easily edited, encouraging students to get feedback from others and revise their work. A few examples are VoiceThread (http://ed.voicethread.com), Glogster (http://www.glogster.com), Jing (http://www.jingproject.com), and podcasts.

In History, a Template for Egypt's Future?
Wednesday, February 02, 2011
As night falls on the ninth day of the people's revolt in Egypt, the country's future isn't the only thing that is uncertain. It has yet to be seen whether Egypt is in the midst of a true revolution, or more of a coup d'etat. From Iran to Algeria, history provides a number of models that may be clues to what an Egypt without Hosni Mubarak could look like.

Slideshow: Little Egypt Reacts To Mubarak
Wednesday, February 02, 2011
A few hours after Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak released a recorded statement saying he would not seek re-election this Fall, WNYC's Kristen Clark visited "Little Egypt" in Astoria, Queens to get reaction to Mubarak's statements, and the pro-democracy protests taking place around the Arab world.
Coptic Christians, With an Eye on Egypt, Worry About Uprising
Wednesday, February 02, 2011
Census figures show about 50,000 people of Egyptian ancestry live in New York and New Jersey combined. Most Egyptians are Muslim, but about 10 percent of the country's population is Coptic Christian. They are the largest minority group in Egypt and, in recent days, many in the New York metro area have been following news of Egyptian protests with less excitement than trepidation.
The Lessons of Obama's Cairo Speech
Wednesday, February 02, 2011
You've heard the phrase, "lead, follow or get out of the way." In these cases, we can do a little of each: leading in declaring unwavering support for democratic principles, following the events with support for proper process and the safety of local populations, and making sure we play no role in obstructing the astonishing show of popular expression or the subsequent march toward new, fair elections — whether in Egypt and or wherever people rise up next.

This episode features a recap of the day's events with New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof; a "face in the crowd" interview with Egyptian actor and protester Amr Waked; a deep look at the difference between the police and the Army in Egypt and a Takeaway from this morning's show.
The Future of US/Egypt Relations
Tuesday, February 01, 2011
I think what's really interesting about this situation is how much of a spectator the United States is really being forced to play. They don't have a lot of options right now, which is ironic considering the amount of money the United States has funeled into the Egyptian military over the past 30 years. But how much leverage has that bought in a situation like this? It's really hard to say.

What We Are Seeing: Army vs. Police
Tuesday, February 01, 2011
Thousands of people have been demonstrating in the streets of Egypt for more than a week, and the army has backed them all the way. That's in stark contrast to the protesters' relationship with the police which has been strained for the past few decades of President Mubarak's regime.

Comments Roundup: Egyptian New Yorkers React

And I'm here in New York and all I want to do is get on a plane and get to Egypt and stand with my people because it's the first time in my entire life that I'm proud to be Egyptian.

A Face in the Crowd: 'Syriana' Actor Amr Waked
Tuesday, February 01, 2011
Actor Amr Waked is best known to Western audiences for his role in the George Clooney oil movie Syriana, but this week, he has been protesting along with millions of his countrymen in Tahrir (Liberation) Square in Cairo, as the Egyptian people rise up in an attempt to overthrow President Hosni Mubarak, who has ruled the country for 30 years.
It's Time for America to Get Tough with Egyptian Government
Tuesday, February 01, 2011
I don't think it at all inappropriate to rescind any further military aid until a list of basic democratic reforms are in place, including freedom of the press. I don't believe it grandstanding for the President of the United States of America to come out unequivocally for their right to democratic self-determination. Whether it has any chance of passing or not, it would not be an empty gesture to bring a motion to the United Nations to call for open elections, monitored by international observers.

THE ART OF COMPROMISE – Historical commission chair Jessica Rapp Grassetti helps architect Mark Hutker of Falmouth display a photo of Bonnie Haven, a whaling captain's home built in the 1830s. The buyer in a purchase and sales agreement sought a certificate from the commission to demolish the house, but returned to the board on July 30 with a plan to save a major portion and relocate it on the same site, where it would be more visible from the road, and use it as a guest house. The buyer plans to build a new house on the original site, and the separation of the longstanding home from its original location saddened some members. Others appeared to consider it an acceptable compromise.

After a grueling weekend, with three games in two days, the Los Alamos Hilltopper ice hockey team will surely welcome its lone scheduled game for week 13.
Los Alamos will take on the Cleveland Storm at home Friday night. Game time is 8:15 p.m.
The Hilltoppers went 2-1 in their games last week, topping the Taos Ice Tigers 7-1 at home Feb. 1 and nipping the Albuquerque OutKast 3-2 in its first game Feb. 2.
In their third game of the weekend, however, the Hilltoppers had little left in the tank playing the No. 2 team in the New Mexico Interscholastic Ice Hockey League standings.
Cibola, hosting Los Alamos in the Hilltoppers' final game, won in an 8-2 rout.
Los Alamos is currently 11-6-1 in NMIIHL standings, which is good enough for third place behind El Paso (Texas) Coronado and Cibola.
Coronado clinched the NMIIHL regular season title with its 7-0 win over La Cueva last weekend. Coronado has lost just one game in 21 outings this season.
Cibola (15-1-2) cannot be caught for the runner-up slot. Los Alamos, meanwhile, is neck-and-neck with St. Pius X (10-6-1) for third in the standings.
There are only two weekends remaining in the league's regular season. The final weekend of play is scheduled for Feb. 22-24, as the teams will take a break to observe Presidents Day the weekend of Feb. 15-17.

YOUR ATTITUDE of sincere interest and helpfulness toward a student in need is most important.
MUTUAL DECISION regarding referrals creates the best climate for helping a student, unless he/she is seriously disturbed and unable to accept such responsibility. (See section on "Seriously Disturbed Students.") Threats or involuntary referrals make for hostile attitudes and/or unmotivated clients.
PURPOSE of the referral should be made clear to the student, and you should explain how the Counseling Center can assist him/her with his/her problems.
TIMING is important. When a student is receptive toward a referral, offer to pick up the phone and make an appointment for him/her in his/her presence. REASSURANCE is important. Assure him/her that seeking help doesn't necessarily mean that he/she has serious problems. There are many kinds of referrals. The best one is the one that the student will respond to. Depending on the situation, have the student consider friends, clergy, family members, community agencies, and campus offices, especially those in the Division of Student Affairs.
CONTACT a counselor at the Counseling Center later to share pertinent information about the person you referred. If you decide it is important to share information about the student with the Counseling Center staff, it is better to receive permission from the student beforehand.
Usually referrals to the Counseling Center are not effective when you merely suggest that the student see a counselor. It is important to note that referrals are most effective:
