The Goedzak is a Special Rubbish Bag for Curbside Donations
Posted By Morgana Matus On January 11, 2013 @ 4:00 pm In Design,Environment,Recycling,Recycling and Composting,Urban design | No Comments
One of the great joys of living in the urban jungle is the daily discovery of treasures left out on the sidewalk. Sadly, the elements have a way of destroying the best finds before hunters have a chance to give them a once over. In an effort to protect curbside donations and inspire altruistic behavior, Dutch designers Waarmakers [2] have created the Goedzak [3], a special bag designed especially for giveaways. Partially transparent and clad in fluorescent yellow, the flexible garbage bag sets goods apart from other landfill waste.
The word "goedzak" means "do-gooder" in Dutch, and also combines the words for "good" and "bag". The bright yellow sack with transparent panels is the result of Simon Akkaya's graduation project, "Design for Altruism". Waarmakers hope to partner with a chain of second-hand shops in Amsterdam called Kringloop Het Goed [5] to pick up the bags and deliver them directly to stores.
While still plastic, at least the Goedzak has a nobler purpose in mind than simply packaging items for deposit in the dump. The bag is not big enough to encompass furniture and larger items, but the old standbys a good tarp and a label may have to do for bulkier donations. Intended to be an easy way to get people to conserve rather than simply toss their belongings, the Goedzak seeks to be the garbage bag with a conscience.

On 12th Nov'2012 I had purchased a new phone Samsung Galaxy S2 model I9100 online for Rs Rs.25000, and was delivered on 19th Nov'12. This phone has a manufacturing defect, from day one the phone is creating many problems like:
1) It hangs many time and restarts only after removing its battery
2) Installation of Apps from Backup data or SD card is not possible every time, but as i restart the phone same apps get install
3) After submitting it to service center, now taking pic from camera is taking more time.
I had submitted the phone to Samsung authorized services center at Lucknow twice within a week of purchase, still the same problem exists. Now they are saying the motherboard of this brand new phone is to be replaced.
it has a manufacturing defect because these problems do not occur in another phones of same model. I had hardly used this phone for a week. My phone is still deposited in the service center and not getting help from them. My complaint registration number is 8443728138.
Please help me, i want Samsung to refund my money for selling such kind of defective model.

What earnings reports have revealed about ads
Wednesday, July 18, 2012
This week, companies that sell advertising began releasing their earnings reports for the latest quarter. Yahoo reported on Tuesday, with Google and Microsoft reporting later in the week.
Here are highlights of recent quarterly earnings reports from selected Internet and media companies and what they say about the state of spending on advertising:
— Monday: Gannett Co. says advertising demand was "uneven" and "choppy." Ad revenue at Gannett's newspaper publishing segment fell 8 percent to $594 million. Broadcasting revenue climbed 11 percent to $205 million, helped by stronger political and auto-related TV advertising, as well as growth at Gannett's Captivate business, which shows ads in elevators. The company expects the Olympics and political spending to bolster results in the second half of the year.
— Tuesday: Yahoo Inc. says revenue for the latest quarter dipped 1 percent to $1.22 billion. After taking out ad commissions, Yahoo's net revenue totaled $1.08 billion. That figure fell about $16 million below analyst estimates. The net revenue, a focal point for investors, was slightly higher than the same time last year. That marked the second consecutive quarter that Yahoo had posted modestly higher net revenue.
Omnicom Group Inc., which owns marketing agencies, says its U.S. business helped lift second-quarter net income 1.5 percent, making up for a decline overseas. Domestic revenue grew 5.4 percent, while international revenue fell 1.3 percent.
Coming up:
— Thursday: Google Inc., Microsoft Corp.

Greek Life – They do not tolerate anything that harms a student such as hazing under any circumstance.
Light Rail Is a Life Saver! There are so many options of transportation at ASU. There is the flash back and flash forward on campus that run opposite direction through campus all day. There is also the orbit that run throughout places near campus. The light rail is a train that runs from campus to either phoenix or mesa.
Party Scene:
So Much to Do! The nightlife for students 21 and up would probably lead you to Mill ave. Just a strip full of bars and restaurants. For the students 18 and up, I would say the Vue would give you an eventful night. Also on Mill Ave there's a few stores to shop at. It is literally a 3 minute walk from campus. Tempe Town lake is also another great place to be. There are usually free events going on there. Also a great place to go on a date!
Campus Quality:
Great Place to Study – The facilities at Arizona State are extremely awesome. There's so many great places to study. Many places to go and hang out with some friends. They have 4 Starbucks across campus for all the coffee addicts and the Student recreational center (src) is the perfect place to get in a good workout.
Drug Safety:
Drinking Is More Popular – There are those groups of people who do smoking on the weekends, but drinking far outweighs that. The only time I know of other drugs being used is when a Rave comes into town or when finls roll around and lots of students start popping Concertas.
Sports at ASU are taken very seriously. Every Friday, students wear gold to support the football team. There are tailgating parties, and discounts for students that attend. At games, the fans are supportive and make the experience enjoyable.
There is great diversity on campus. I enjoy sitting at the student union and people watching because I will see people of every different race and ethnicity. These groups usually stick together, but everyone accepts each other. I think there are a variety of economic backgrounds, and everyone is encouraged to stand up for their beliefs.
Off-Campus Dining:
There are lots of close restaurants around campus. Most are relatively cheap or offer happy hours where the food is discounted. I am able to walk to most of them. I can think of any type of food that I want, and there will be a restaurant within a mile that I can go to. I love Sushi 101, Oregannos, iHop, and PF Changs.
Overall Experience:
Despite Flaws, Love It – If you chose to apply for Barrett honors college, you really get to chose how much of your experience feels like a large college and how much feels like a small liberal arts college. The Barrett dining hall is amazing, especially if you are vegan or vegetarian or just looking to eat more healthily. Stir-fry, gelato, to-order omelets, etc are staples of the dining hall. All my professors so far care and are driven, if you bother to introduce yourself. We have access to so many great resources and the campus is practically like a mini-city all by itself. Plenty of people go overboard with the partying, fine, but it's not as all-consuming as people think. I've been to amazing lectures with Reza Azlan and Paul Davies and seen screenings of great documentaries, I worked on a special paper with a professor where I did field work researching Buddhism in Arizona that turned out to be 16 pages. We have a great sustainability program, a unique Global Studies major (which I am a double major with bio (genetics/cell development). The Study Abroad opportunities are crazy and so good and more often than not have some form of scholarship attached. The education can be top quality if you take the initiative to get what you want. And the administration are willing to help you take the path less traveled if you want it, you just have to want it.
Weak Public Transit – Except for the light rail which is great, the public transit isn't very reliable (the buses take FOREVER) and it's very hard to get out of the university/downtown Tempe/downtown Phoenix without a car. The immediate area around the university is great for walking and biking, but there are other nice areas only reachable by car. And Lightrail does not reach them nearly enough. Car parking is expensive, but after your first year or two a must.Campus transport=great and easy. Bike is all you need, maybe use the on campus shuttles.Local=mostly good, light rail will get you to most of the places college students like to go.Beyond local=you need a car. No way around it.
Strong School Spirit, Good Facilities – I'm not really a hardcore sports person, but the school sports experience is fun to participate in from my point of view. The fields and facilities are nice, school spirit is pretty high, football games are kind of a big deal and you can hear the cheering from a significant distance away. The weather when not super hot is absolutely great for being out and about in, and therefore there's a lot of great outdoor areas with shade and cool grass.
Merit as Well as Need Based Opportunities – ASU gives out a lot of scholarship money, including merit based scholarships which are often hard to come by these days. The application for merit based awards is automatic and very easy. For need-based scholarships, all you have to do is fill out the FAFSA
Campus Quality:
Certainly Policed – There are often cops around at night, and CA's around during the day. It is definitely easy to get away with drinking etc. if you are smart about it and dont cause commotion, though
Certainly Policed – There are often cops around at night, and CA's around during the day. It is definitely easy to get away with drinking etc. if you are smart about it and dont cause commotion, though
Party Scene:
I am under 21, but I've heard that Mill is wonderful for those that can go to bars. ASU is a typical party school, and there are MANY opportunities to party whether you are in Greek Life or not. AND girls never have to pay. :)
Campus Food:
It Is Just Normal – The dining halls are typical, food is not great but there are many different options for students. The Barrett Honors dining hall is much better than the others, but still not absolutely amazing. Places around campus are not healthy at all, but there are lots of options. Examples are Jimmy Johns, McDonalds, Whataburger, bars/grills on Mill Ave, Chipotle, etc.
Not Too Bad – I received a decent scholarship and everything was pretty smooth. Wish there were a few more scholarships available to out of state students though.
Guys & Girls:
Hot Girls Everywhere – I will see the pretty ladies in all directions at all times of day. Went above all expectations.
Off-Campus Dining:
Decent Variety – There are definitely plenty of places to eat off-campus, but there are not a ton that amazing. Oregano's is always good and I enjoy going to Devil's Advocate for watching football and eating wings.
Easy to Get the Help I Needed – I received a scholarship when I applied to ASU and they automatically showed the grants and loans I was eligible for online in the finances section of my personal ASU page. Any time I go to the financial aid office with questions they are always helpful and eager to find ways for me to pay for school.
Campus Food:
Some Options, but Not as Diverse as They Could Be – Dining options on campus have improved over the past couple years. A sit down restaurant, Engrained, was opened upstairs at the Memorial Union. In addition to the rank and file fast food places, the dining halls offer the ordinary as well, except 1 day a week they devote to vegetarian options. There are several coffee places around campus, e squared one of the few that is local (something other than Starbucks). ASU offers M&G dollars that is applied like a debit card, they are usable anywhere on campus and even some places off campus; this is the best meal plan option as it offers the most flexibility.
Its great! We have the light rail, we have our own student bus transportation called Orbit, we have cabs, or the public bus. The only thing is that campus parking is pretty expensive and crowded at times. Some parking lots are very far away from campus.
Party Scene:
Night Life – AWESOME! There are plenty of local bars, cab companies are always lingering around for business, and night clubs are very close to campus. There is a street called Mill Ave. From Mill Ave and University moving north bound, up until about 1st Street, you have nothing but a strip of stores, small business, and bars. There's always something to do! For those who don't like to drink, activities on campus are always happening, too.
Transborder Latina/O Chicana/O Studies – Not only do you get to learn more about Latinos in America and around the world, you get to learn about their health disparities, standard of living, and how we can improve all things for them. We also learn about other minorities in America and all of our data is compared. You get to learn a lot about all races around the world that reside here in the US.
Campus Quality:
A Lot to Do in a Small Area – From movie theaters to shopping malls to various artistic venues, in addition to a plethora of campus activities, you will hardly lack things to do during your time here on campus.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Arizona State is like no other university in the country. With a large, vibrant, and exciting student body that truly makes the campus unique, there is no arguing that ASU is by any means a boring place to be for the next four years of your life. As soon as you step onto ASU's campus, you will feel the immense amount of positive and exciting energy that gives you sense of belonging. Even though there are so many students around campus, you will be sure to find a niche to call your own. College is the time to find yourself and truly learn who you are as you prepare for the real world. ASU provides the perfect environment to challenge you to make "adult" decisions, and you won't always, but by the end of it all, you will mature into a dedicated individual!
Even though students will struggle with all-nighters, sports practice, parking tickets, and trying to recover from a great night, many of them couldn't ask for anything else. There will be times that you are drowning in homework and studying, but by the end of it all, you will look back and laugh. Your peers help you get through the tough times and make those social outings even more fun. ASU knows how to party hard, but when it comes to crunch time, we pull it off well. The kids here know how to have a great time, the nightlife and social settings are extremely fun, the academics are quite challenging—especially when you apply yourself and take it seriously—but most importantly, students will leave prepared for post-graduation and taking on the world. ASU is a fantastic place to meet new people and a great way to experience life in the great southwest. But don't take my word for it—come on out and experience it for yourself!

On my way from work to pick up my son at day care today I had a cop pull up at a stop light and give me a warning. He told me that I was allowed on the road but I couldn't be there because I was backing up traffic. Funny that he told me this while I was sitting at a stop light. He said it 3 times and told me I could be ticketed for it. I told him I wasn't trying to back traffic up and there were no alternate routes to my destination. He just said the same thing over. I kept going at the light and the 2 cars that were behind me turned at the next light. about 100ft down the road. Any advice for the next run in with the officer? I have all the RCW's and they all state I was in the right. The obstruction of traffic he was referring to was for slow traffic on 2 lane highways and roads. The road I was on was a 5 lane road and I was in the far right next to the curb, no shoulders or pull outs any place along the route.

The Basics Of AssetsThe Basics Of Assets https://learningcenter.statefarm.com/family/starting-out/the-basics-of-assets/ bb3 Apr 13, 2011
By Staff writer State Farm™ Employee
Many people associate assets with wealthy people who own multiple homes or large stock portfolios. But regardless of your financial status, you likely have possessions of value. These possessions are your assets.
An asset is an item that can be converted to cash in simple terms, sold for money. If you own a home, its likely your most valuable asset. Other common personal assets of value include:
- Real estate
- Car
- Jewelry
- Furniture
- Electronics
- Collections, like art or antiques
- Bank accounts
- Stocks and bonds
- Certificates of deposit
You probably have many other belongings, which technically are also assets. But not all of these belongings have a lot of value.
Its important to note that the value of an item is what you would receive if you sold it, which differs from its replacement cost, or the price of buying the same item again.
The total of your assets minus your liabilities (what you owe) determines your net worth.
Liquid Versus Fixed Assets
Assets fall into two categories: liquid and fixed.
Liquid assets are assets that can be converted quickly and easily to cash without losing value. The most common liquid assets are checking and savings accounts, since youre able to withdraw your funds as needed. Emergency funds are often kept in savings or money market accounts for this reason.
Other liquid assets include life insurance policies that have a cash surrender value, savings bonds, certificates of deposit without withdrawal penalties.
Fixed assets arent as accessible as liquid assets because theyre not easily convertible to cash. Fixed assets need to be sold, and a hurried sale would result in a loss. Examples of fixed assets include collections of art or antiques, jewelry, and real estate, such as your home.
Protect Your Assets
You build assets by saving and planning for them. And as you build your assets, its important to insure and keep a record of them in case of burglary, fire, or some other type of disaster.
Your insurance agent can advise you about what policies you need, as well as any riders for additional coverage for assets like jewelry and electronics.
Liquid assets should be recorded and any documentation such as account numbers, certificates, and insurance policies kept in a safe place, such as a safe deposit box at the bank or in a fire safe if at home. Just in case, always make copies of original documents and back up computer files regularly.
Fixed assets should also be tracked, and you should record both their value and replacement cost. Start by assessing the value of significant items, like a home and car. Move on to other items, which you can easily take photos or video of to store with receipts or appraisals. Dont forget to update this inventory when you add assets, or if items change in value.
Lastly, make sure youre not the only one who knows where and how to access these and any important records. Your spouse, a grown child, or a trusted friend should know necessary computer passwords and have access to safes and safe deposit boxes.
Know When To Liquidate
Want to buy a home? Start a small business? Liquidating assets is one way to access money when you need it.
When you liquidate, do so smartly. Make a plan based on the money you need, and know the current value of your assets before selling. Consult a professional for help with any specialized sales, such as for real estate and collections of art.
If youre in a dire economic situation, selling everything not nailed down may seem like the only solution. But liquidating any assets besides your emergency fund should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. Desperate times dont have to lead to desperate and ill-planned measures.

Nacho Cheese Leads to Disney Suit
Isaiah Harris suffered "permanent scarring, pain and suffering" as a result of the burns, according to the suit, which seeks medical cost and punitive damages for emotional distress.
The boy's parent, Michael and Maria Harris of Chula Vista. Calif., are also seeking damages saying they suffered "serious emotional distress."
The family says the incident occured in March at Cosmic Ray's Starlite Cafe in Tomorrowland at Disney's Magic Kingdom theme park in Florida. They claim a paper cup with scalding cheese splashed on the child's face when he grabbed a food tray.
"The cheese should not have been that hot," says Sean Cahill, the family's attorney.
Disney released a statement saying that the company is reviewing the lawsuit but is saddened by the child's injuries. "It is unfortunate when any child is hurt."
This is the second suit against a Disney park this week. In the other case, a quadriplegic man claims that he was stuck in the "It's a Small World" ride for 40 minutes at Disneyland in California, and that there was no way to evacuate him in his wheelchair. He is suing for negligence and emotional distress.

European System - LOSER PAYS. If these bottom feeders bring an unfounded suit they are forced to pay whatever costs were incurred by the other side to defend against frivilous lawsuits. it also puts some of the responsibility on the lawyers who try to work the American system. They know it is often cheaper for a big company like Disney to just settle out of court than to go through a lengthy trial.February 13 2011 at 10:37 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

It is unlikely that a judge or court decision will find Disney negligent and award a lot of money to the suers. However, it is my opinion that it will never go to court and the Disney lawyers will offer the family an out of court settlement to keep it all quiet. So----they will have won, the lawyers will have won, and the public will see an increase in admission prices to cover it. Its all about money!February 13 2011 at 6:50 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
I think it is about time that parents start being held accountable for watching their own children. It is too easy in this country to put blame on someone else and then make money in the process. The only thing that Disney should have to pay for is any medical bills and THAT IS IT!!! The parents are at fault for not watching their child, so take the blame like you should. The cheese from nachos is hot, or didn't they know that?February 13 2011 at 3:21 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

Guess I grew up in the wrong era. My parents should have sued the manufacturer every timeI crashed my bikes when I was little. I could be driving a Porsche by now.
I can't understand why someone else has to be held resposible for one's own neglect.
Look at it as another learning experience instead of filing a ridicilous, frivolous lawsuit. Hopefully the judge will throw it out and slap the parents with a fine for not properly supervising their child.
This is appalling, to say the least...
Wow, Really? Yet another bogus law suit. I can't believe that people would be so greedy. To the parent's," Watch you child better". Bet that kid get's his own food's at home as well. And to the quadriplegic man, your in a wheelchair and anyone with a half a brain shoud know poop happens. If you didn't like getting stuck, then don't climb on the ride. Because Disney or any other ride can't help malfunctions. Poop Happen's. Just get over it. I am not saying that because you are in a wheelchair that you shouldn't go on rides. I am just saying to be Prepaired, because poop does happen.February 13 2011 at 12:50 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

In response to ClarkGriswold's comment:
In response to PatsLifer's comment:
Rusty..the Vick deal is a solid one for the eagles. If Vick is healthy, he is very close to the type of QB Kelly likes to run his ultra fast offense. I can't see this signing as poor at all.
On Jackson....the bills spent big on Fitzpatrick but nnpeed someone to challenge and backup...a bit steep for a backup, but not a contract that is going to flatten the bills. The Mario Williams one however ...well, maybe
It's not solid at all. It's an NCAA coach, he'll run a gimmick offense and asking Vick to do anything outside of keeping things very simple, etc, is a mistake. Vick has only performed well against bad defenses since his return.
There's a reason why he sucks. To think Vick will all of a suddden rebound because of a new coach and offense is delusional.
Done. All done. I would be incensed if I was a Philly fan.
I would be incensed if I was an Eagles fan if anyone expected Foles to run Kelly's offense.
Right now it's Kelly's offense, and spending 3.5 mil on Vick is potentially genious. You think he is done, others think in this offense with a healthy o line it could be lethal.
The key is 3.5 mil.

I've been watching F1 for 40 years now and honestly speaking I don't think I've lost more that 7-10 races in all these years...
I've also had the Cable Tv package I have just because it had the only TV channel that transmitted F1 here... and for the first time in all these years i really don't feel like signing a new contract just because F1 in my opinion has become too much of an entertainment business and less a racing series...
As I said, it's just my opinion and feeling but honestly, I must admit that I've lost a quite a bit of interest in F1... for me, that's sad.

By Courtney Gousman
Berkeley, MO (KSDK) - Tornadoes ripped through parts of North St. Louis County two months ago Wednesday, forcing many residents out of their homes. That has opened the door for looters in the midst of families working to put their homes back together in Berkeley.
Both residents and police in Berkeley say it's a crime of opportunity, with criminals taking what they can from residents who are trying to rebuild.
As if Tonya Brown and her family haven't already been through enough. Two months ago, their home sustained so much tornado damage they were forced out. Contractors have been working to rebuild the place, but the wife and mother say over the past week there have been setbacks.
"Someone broke in again, stole some power tools and some more jewelry, and last night they came back and stole all the copper piping from the water heater, washer, dryer," said Berkeley resident Tonya Brown.
Brown says the two break-ins this week are keeping her family from returning home.
"We were supposed to get back in this week however that's going to be delayed because of the pipe stealing," she said.
Surrounding Brown's place are storm debris and boarded-up homes.
"It's houses that are vacant. No one's here to actually watch and see what's going on," Brown said.
Brown says another issue that makes it easy for criminals to take advantage of this area is the fact that two months later, some of the street lights are still out.
"If the street light is not working, that just further capes what they're trying to do," said Chief Frank McCall Jr. of the Berkeley Police Department.
Chief McCall says the Browns aren't the only victims. A number of burglaries have been reported in these tornado damaged neighborhoods, since the nice weather. So patrols have been stepped-up.
"These people are already victims. They're trying to rebuild their homes to move back there. To have someone come and take advantage of them again is just not acceptable."
NewsChannel 5 contacted Ameren officials, who say they're aware of the broken street lights in the area, but have not gotten around to fixing all of them. Ameren representatives say they will be fixed sometime Thursday.
As for the Brown family, with these setbacks, they're not sure when they'll actually be able to get back into their home.

- 1 fryer chicken
- 1 lemon, cut in half
- 4-6 fresh sage leaves and steams
- 6 garlic cloves, peeled
- salt/pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
Rinse chicken in cold water then pat dry, removing gizzards. Spray crock-pot with cooking spray. Sprinkle salt and pepper inside the chicken cavity. Place sage, garlic cloves, and lemon halves inside the chicken cavity. Place chicken into the crock-pot. Sprinkle salt, chili powder, and pepper on top of chicken. Place lid on the crock-pot and cook on low for 9 -10 hours.
Way 1: When the chicken is cooked, you can serve the chicken legs, thighs, and wings for dinner.
Way 2: Then shred or chop the breasts, and all the other meat you can get off the bone, for another recipe later in the week.
Tip: Throw some potatoes, carrots, onions, and cubed squash into the pot to be ready at supper time.

Tom Treadwell
In 1999 Drs. Thomas Treadwell, Donna Ashcraft and Evan Leach organized a multidisciplinary collaborative task force with members at various universities to create and test a model for the integration of technology focusing on collaborative online research and learning (CORAL) (e.g., Chamberlin, 2000; Treadwell, 1999; Treadwell, et al., 1999; Treadwell, Leach, Kellar, Lewis & Mittan, 1998). This task force believes that classrooms should provide places where students have the opportunity to be learners actively working together on a specific learning objective, a goal endorsed by the Forum on Technology in Education (U. S. Department of Education, 1999) and others (e.g., Dede, 2000). Therefore, the model developed by this task force has used the Internet as collaborative tool connecting university-level students in varied disciplines and at distant sites in an effort to complete a joint project. Dr. Treadwell and Dr. Ashcraft are the professors who teach the social psychology laboratory course, at two different universities, integrating video conferencing and computer technology with students across distant sites from 2000 - 2009. In spring of 2010 Dr. Treadwell decided to cross disciplines and merge psychology and management students. Thus, Dr. Leach, a management professor, saw the value in a social laboratory course and felt the integration of management students to focus on applied problems in the workplace would add dimensions for both student majors.
West Chester University of Pennsylvania, College of Arts & Science: Students from a social psychology laboratory course at West Chester University participate in this collaborative project. They review the dynamics of teamwork in collaborating with groups electronically and face-to-face. Topics covered during class include the foundations of group work, developmental stages of how groups evolve over time, group structure, how groups design systems of roles and inter member bonding, and the transformation of individuals from a collection of unrelated persons into a cohesive group. Social psychological constructs covered include, but not limited to, social loafing, in-groups and out-groups, persuasion, influence, attributions, stages of group development, groupthink, superordinate goals, along with group member roles as they apply to the collaborative on-line learning.
West Chester University of Pennsylvania, College of Business: Students from a Senior Seminar Management course also participate in this collaborative project. The emphasis of this course is to explore the design, management and evaluation of high performance teams in work settings. Students assume the role of management consultants focusing on developing an interdisciplinary (management and psychology) approach to addressing critical organizational problems and collaboratively develop a set of practical remedies to these problems. Management constructs covered include team performance measurement, process consultation, root-cause analysis, continuous improvement and small group theory. Students are encouraged to conduct periodic self evaluations and implement managerial strategies designed to optimize their team's performance.
The CORAL model fosters self-regulating thinking along with working amongst peers cultivating three major objectives:
(1) Incorporates several different teaching and learning styles, thereby providing a more inclusive learning format for a variety of learners.
(2) The model is structured by the professors, but led by the students and therefore fosters independent thinking and active learning.
(3) Encourages students to seek outside opinions without fear of being criticized.
(4) Fosters the distinction between Collaborative and Cooperative learning as an indispensable preliminary step when designing an operational collaborative learning and workplace environment!
The CORAL model is supported by State System of Higher Education Faculty Professional Development Council (FPDC) grant, Pedagogy for Engagement Grants (PEGs), State System of Higher Education Faculty Professional Development Grant and West Chester University Presidential Initiative Funding Grant.

Columbus police officers kicked in the door of a residence in the 1200 block of Pearl Street after reportedly seeing a woman being choked.
Sgt. Matt Harris and Patrolman James Scott responded to two separate complaints of loud noises at 1230 Pearl St. starting around 11 p.m. Monday. Police told a man and woman living at the address to keep the noise down.
While responding to a third complaint at 1:47 a.m. Tuesday, the officers stopped to listen and watch the residence. Through the window, officers could see that a man and a woman were engaged in a heated argument. Scott saw the man trying to choke the woman, according to police reports. Officers immediately kicked in the door and took the man into custody.
Jeffrey Fivecoat, 44, was taken to the Bartholomew County Jail, where he was held on charges of domestic battery, a Class A misdemeanor, and strangulation, a Class D felony.
While strangulation means the act of killing by squeezing the throat, Indiana law defines it as intentionally applying pressure to another person's throat or obstructing their nose or mouth.
Lt. Matt Myers, spokesperson for the Columbus Police Department, said the 43-year-old girlfriend refused to cooperate with police and refused medical treatment. She said it was her birthday, and she didn't want the man going to jail, Myers said.
"Often, the victim doesn't want to see charges because of retaliation," Myers said. "But we encourage anyone involved in domestic type situations to stand up to the batterer to answer for what they've done."
If officers see bad things happening, or about to happen, they have an obligation to act immediately, Myers said.
"No one deserves to be battered," Myers said. "Somewhere the cycle has to be broken. There are local organizations, such as Turning Point, where individuals can go for help."

pale honey gourami :S
I have couple of honey gouramis in my tank I just noticed one of them lying on a plant near the to surface. I know they breathe from mouth but it was abit below the surface level. Just lying on a leaf. She was abit pale, fins are not damaged but they were pale. Wasn't eating when I put some food.
tank mates are neon tetras, dwarf gouramis and more honey gouramis.
just noticed she is gone from that spot. I cant recognize which one was that either :S
ok she's dead now >< saw her this morning lying close to a plant in a corner. :cry:
Fish can die from so many internal issues that we may not ever see; I never worry as long as I see no outward sign of blotches, spots, lumps, etc., and it is not an epidemic but just one fish.
Have you observed any aggression among the gourami? The dwarf gourami in particular, but also the honeys?
The other thing is that dwarf gourami carry disease sometimes, as mentioned in our profile. Gill flukes is also very high in this species, and this is contagious.
I never buy those fish though.

County Line Wildfire Reforestation and Restoration
|Help Make Global ReLeaf possible
Give today to help restore local and global ecosystems.
Project Name:
County Line Wildfire Reforestation and Restoration
Osceola National Forest, Florida
Key Activities:
- Planting 429,000 longleaf pines across 858 acres.
- Restoring habitat for the gopher tortoise, an at-risk species
- Reforesting areas affected by a 2012 wildfire
Project Description:
American Forests and the U.S. Forest Service are reforesting 858 acres of the northern tier of Osceola National Forest with 429,000 longleaf pines to convert a fire-burned, former timber plantation area to habitat for sensitive wildlife species.
Why This Project:
The targeted area for reforestation used to be private timberlands, specifically slash pine plantations, so this is an opportunity to restore the area to forestland.
A lightning strike on April 12, 2012, near the Columbia and Baker County lines in Osceola National Forest sparked a wildfire, the County Line Fire, which encompassed more than 34,000 acres. The burn area included areas scorched just five years earlier in the Bugaboo Fire.
Why Longleaf Pine:
In the 1600s, longleaf pine covered 60-80 million acres of the Southeast. Today, less than 2.5 million acres of the species remain.
Longleaf pines are crucial habitat for a number of threatened and endangered wildlife species, such as the red-cockaded woodpecker. This project is helping the gopher tortoise, which makes its home in pine flatwoods of longleaf pine. In a 2012 review of the Endangered Species Act candidate listing of the tortoise, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service identified habitat fragmentation, destruction and modification has the primary threats to the terrestrial turtle. The gopher tortoise is considered a keystone species in the region, as the burrows it constructs for its home are used by hundreds of other species once the turtle moves on.

Last year, Willie Tuitama used a big performance against UCLA to make a name for himself, putting his school on the national radar at the same time. This year, Tuitama just wants to help his team out of an offensive slump that could do the 2006 season in if something doesn't change and fast.On Sunday, Arizona's players held a team meeting to air out some of the players' grievances. Apparently, the team has played well together ever since.Tuitama raved about his team's play after Tuesday's practice."We changed stuff up and it was a lot better," he said. "Our o-line did a real good job of pass blocking, run blocking and everything. I can probably say these are the best two practices that we've had."Arizona's offense clearly has some deficiencies, namely in its offensive line and running backs. However, the coaches are working at masking the problems and that's been one of the team's focuses in practice."We're doing some things a little better to disguise (the problems)," said Tuitama. "I don't want to give it up but we're doing some real good stuff."The UA offensive line has had a rough season, but apparently the linemen are motivated to prove themselves against UCLA."Our o-line is just tired of people talking about them," said Tuitama. "They're starting to take it seriously and that's good. They're [angry] because people are talking about them. They know that they're better than what they've been doing."Last season, in Arizona's 52-14 win over UCLA, the Bruins' defense gave up 519 yards of total offense. This year, UCLA's defense is much improved, making the UA's task much more difficult."We looked at film from last year but their defense is a little better this year," Tuitama said. "They're playing a lot harder and they're playing their gaps."Many are expecting UCLA's players to be out looking to avenge last season's loss to Arizona. Revenge isn't something that Tuitama personally thinks about."Either way you have to go out there play," Tuitama said. "We're going to be ready to play. We're going to their house. We have to turn this thing around. That's our own revenge for us as a team."In last year's game against UCLA, Arizona had nothing to lose. This season, the Wildcats' backs are against the wall and the team looks to come out with that mentality."Coach (Mike) Stoops told us on Monday during the (team) meeting that we have to go out there and play desperate because desperate teams are dangerous. We have to go out there with nothing to lose. We're just going to go out there and play hard."

MADISON, Wis., Nov. 8, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Anchor BanCorp Wisconsin Inc. (OTC Market:ABCW) today announced a net loss available to common equity of $12.1 million, or $0.57 per common share, for the three months ended September 30, 2012. This compares to a net loss available to common equity of $3.4 million, or $0.16 per common share and $19.6 million, or $0.92 per common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively.
Financial Highlights
1 Under regulatory requirements, a bank must have a tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0 percent or greater and a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0 percent or greater to be considered adequately capitalized.
Bank Capital Ratios
The Bank's tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios of 4.63 percent and 9.07 percent at September 30, 2012, increased by 7 and 9 basis points, respectively, compared to June 30, 2012. The ratios benefitted from a planned decrease in adjusted total assets, primarily loans held for investment, and risk-weighted assets during the quarter. Risk-weighted assets of $1.6 billion at September 30, 2012 decreased $64.4 million during the quarter reflecting a $60.3 million decrease in 100 percent risk-weighted assets primarily due to a reduction in loans in this category at quarter end. Under regulatory requirements, a bank must have a tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0 percent or greater and a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0 percent or greater to be considered adequately capitalized.
While the Bank reported higher capital ratios, the Corporation, as the holding company of the Bank, continues to be burdened with significant senior debt and preferred stock obligations:
The Corporation continues to work with Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P. as its financial advisor in efforts to address its capital needs.
Financial Results
Financial results for the second quarter ended September 30, 2012, include:
"We are pleased to report our ninth consecutive quarter of capital ratios above the threshold to be considered adequately capitalized," stated Chris Bauer, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and the Bank. "This is the first time since March of 2009 that our total risk-based capital ratio at the Bank has exceeded 9 percent. The improvement in Bank capital ratios is primarily due to the tremendous effort expended to resolve issues in the credit portfolios and the resultant decrease in assets. We have recently developed and are implementing strategies to increase Bank profitability by slowing asset runoff to improve our net interest margin," Bauer added.
Credit Quality
Certain key credit related metrics continue to trend favorably with loans 30 to 89 days past due falling to $29.4 million as of September 30, 2012 from $39.8 million at June 30, 2012 and $70.9 million at September 30, 2011. Non-performing loans of $156.5 million at September 30, 2012 were significantly lower than the preceding quarter and the year ago quarter, decreasing $32.4 million and $100.0 million, respectively. The impact of these trends contributed significantly to the lower provision for credit losses in the current quarter. Despite the decrease in provision for credit losses in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter, the allowance for loan loss remains strong at 57.93 percent of non-performing loans at September 30, 2012. Running counter to these favorable variances, both net charge-offs and other real estate owned increased during the quarter reflecting the somewhat irregular timing of the financial statement impacts during execution of the resolution process for non-performing loans.
Mortgage Banking
Gross returns on residential mortgage banking totaled $4.5 million for the quarter ending September 30, 2012 compared to $4.2 million in the preceding quarter and ($0.6) million in the year ago quarter. Higher returns in the quarter ending September 30, 2012 were largely due to an increase in gain on sale of mortgages over both comparable periods reflecting wider margins on the sale of production into the secondary market and the execution of effective hedging strategies. OMSR (impairment) / recovery quarterly results are highly sensitive to changes in mortgage market interest rates and reflected a sharp drop in rates during the quarter ending September 30, 2011, with more moderate rate decreases during the current and preceding quarters in 2012. Loan servicing results also reflected the impact of lower interest rates as OMSR amortization expense has increased as rates have fallen during these reporting periods. Residential mortgage origination volume rose to $285.8 million in the current quarter compared to $258.5 million in the preceding quarter and $189.1 million in the year ago quarter as historically low interest rates have continued to fuel customer demand for this product.

The Internet's Birthday Again
The Internet has more symbolic birthdays than, I dunno, something else with a lot of symbolic birthdays, but if today's anniversary of the first request for comments has in fact prompted him to look back on his 45 years, he is probably mired in a deep existential crisis as he reflects on how far short he has fallen from his initial promise, how badly he has disappointed even the people who loved him the most and how he no longer has the excuse of youth on his side to mitigate the terrible faults and mistakes he continues to make over and over in spite of the fact that he has seen so many times just how badly his choices have played out. As he sits alone wincing at each painful memory from his past and wishing that someone would come along to pull the plug on the present in which he is mired and a future he cannot come up with any alternative to avoiding, he quietly hums a slow and joyless "Happy birthday" which is off-key and repeatedly interrupted by horrible sobs that sound like the death throes of a small mammal being tortured by some gang of childhood sadists. He walks to the bathroom, washes off his face and forces himself to stare into the mirror for as long as he can stand to look at himself. He puts on dark glasses and heads out into the streets, hoping to remain unseen for another few hours so he can continue to play out his pageant of self-loathing and despair in peace. "Another fucking year," he mutters as he runs his hands through his thinning hair before holding his head there for a moment in an unmistakable gesture of agony and defeat and then, with a shudder of resignation, puts his arms back at his sides and walks on, bent and stooped, eyes dead, unaware of anything else around him. Happy birthday, dear Internet. Happy birthday to you.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Friday, April 20, 2012
AIKEN, S.C. -- It's called the EXPAND Act which stands for Energy Exploration and Production to Achieve National Demand.
Republican Congressman Jeff Duncan says energy bills in previous years have expanded the role of government in energy production, but he says his bill would turn things over to the free market.
"It is an all-of-the-above comprehensive energy plan, and it is all of the above. It's not all of the above except x, y and z, which is what the president talks about," said Duncan in a phone interview with News 12.
The legislation would also put Yucca Mountain back on the table. It's the nuclear waste repository in Nevada that would've stored nuclear waste piling up at Savannah River Site, Plant Vogtle and other sites across the country. President Obama terminated it when he took office.
"We want to reset and go back to the science to determine what type of site would be best for geological storage," said Secretary of Energy Dr. Steven Chu to News 12 back in February.
News 12 pressed Dr. Chu on the matter, but his answer was to find another site and start all over again. Duncan says that's unfair to this taxpayers and ratepayers who've already put billions into the current project.
"As I understand it, every time you pay your utility bill, even now, a portion of that utility bill is going to the federal government for that fund," Duncan said.
Besides bringing back Yucca, his energy bill would do other things.
"Offshore drilling is there. It approves the Keystone XL pipeline to bring friendly Canadian oil to the United States. Anything you can think of in the energy realm, it's included in this bill," he said.
The bill also calls for clean energy. It mandates Department of Energy site selection for solar, wind and geothermal projects. The bill would also get rid of the ethanol mandate. That mandate started in 2005. It's where renewable fuels had to be mixed with our oil supply.
The bill also removes tax credits for energy start-ups, so we asked Duncan if that means there shouldn't be loan guarantees for large nuclear projects like the two new reactors at Plant Vogtle. He says loan guarantees are necessary in the nuclear industry and that he's 100 percent pro-nuclear.

GAFFNEY, S.C. (AP) -- A Gaffney man has died after a tree limb fell on him during a Fourth of July thunderstorm.
Cherokee County Coroner Dennis Fowler says the victim was 34-year-old Paul Terrell Littlejohn.
Fowler says Littlejohn was hit by the large limb while standing under an oak tree in the yard of his home around 7:30 p.m. Thursday.
The limb fell about 25 feet during winds that were gusting to about 40 mph.
Littlejohn was taken to Novant Health-Gaffney Medical Center and pronounced dead a short time later.
