These reviews are written by independent automotive journalists providing an objective
and reliable assessment to help you make a smart buying decision. 2001 Chrysler LHS.
Reviewed By: Mitch McCullough, Editor-in-Chief
© 2001 NewCarTestDrive.com
The most noticeable design element is its grille, edged in chrome and adorned with a big winged Chrysler medallion. The front fascia on the LHS was engineered to meet federal impact requirements without the need for a visible external bumper. Sculptured headlamp bezels surround compact projector beams with integrated fog lamps and turn signals. The shape they describe flows seamlessly into the fluted aluminum hood. Augmenting the headlamps are driving lights molded into the lower fascia. New windshield pillar moldings reduce wind noise and improve water management.
Viewed from the side, the aerodynamic lower sill complements the large wheels and tires and visually ties the unique front and rear fascias together. A winged Chrysler medallion adorns the deck lid. Wrap-around taillamps use a red/amber split to delineate the stop and turn functions. A pair of stainless steel oval exhaust tips indicates the added power and performance of the V6 engine.
Major controls use large twist dials. Few manufacturers get radios right and the LHS features slider tone controls that are challenging to operate when driving. Fortunately, steering wheel-mounted audio controls have been added for 2001. Power window and door locks switches are bright and the power mirror switches are color-keyed. Overall, the wood trim is attractive, but the oval piece of wood surrounding the shifter seems unnecessary and diminishes the positive effect of the rest of the trim.
The leather-trimmed seats are comfortable and seat heaters add comfort when starting out in cold weather. Personalized memory controls remember the driver's seating adjustments, outside mirror positions and radio station presets. LHS offers a bit more front and rear legroom than the Chrysler 300M. A three-point seat belt was added to the rear center position this year.
Safety is further enhanced by optional supplemental front side airbags.
Overall, it's a brilliant interior, sleeker and more contemporary than the Lincoln Continental. The new sandstone interior lends a light, elegant look. Other new interior colors for 2001 include dark slate gray and light taupe.
The LHS comes with a larger trunk than the 300M and it holds plenty of luggage for long trips. Details, such as gas struts for the trunk hinges, make life seem just a bit more luxurious. An inside emergency trunk lid release was added this year for increased safety.
Quiet when cruising, the engine serves notice with an aggressive growl when provoked. Plenty of power is on tap for accelerating away from intersections, onto freeways and passing cars. A broad torque curve means it's ready to provide instant throttle response at any speed. The automatic transmission selects the appropriate gears and does not hunt excessively. The brakes have been refined and provide good stopping power and pedal feel.
We checked out some of the competition on an undulating, wet, winding road through Georgia's Chattahoochie National Forest. Compared with the LHS, the tires on the Lincoln Continental lacked grip and the brakes felt mushy. The LHS offered much better suspension control in hard corners and through dips, and its transmission was more responsive. The Buick Park Avenue is a worthy competitor with a responsive engine and a confidence-inspiring suspension.
LHS comes with an aluminum 3.5-liter V6 that delivers 250 horsepower and 250 foot-pounds of torque. Designed to deliver power across a broad torque range, it emulates the power characteristics of classic American V8s. With 24 valves and single overhead cams, it delivers an 18-percent increase in power over the cast-iron engine it replaces. It meets the governments Low Emission Vehicle, or LEV, standards for all 50 states.
LHS uses the same suspension architecture as the new 300M, but the LHS strut valves were tuned with longer ride motions than on the 300M for a more luxurious ride quality. That's not to say the LHS is sloppy; it provides excellent handling response and agility for a car of its size. It does not feel like a traditional American luxobarge.
The front suspension and powertrain are mounted on a system of four hydroformed steel tubes that are lighter, stiffer and dimensionally more accurate than the previous setup. Hydroforming involves forcing water into a tube at extremely high pressures to form the subframe, resulting in a structure that is far more rigid than welded parts. That means better handling and ride quality, with reduced noise, vibration and harshness. The rear suspension uses multiple links and a Chapman Strut at each wheel. The geometry has been revised slightly over the previous model.
Four-wheel antilock disc brakes are standard; ABS allows the driver to maintain steering control during hard braking. The LHS brake system provides good pedal feel. Electronic low-speed traction control, which is also standard, provides improved control when accelerating on slippery surfaces by limiting wheel spin. All-season Goodyear Eagle LS touring tires, size P225/55R17, are standard and provide good handling characteristics on wet or dry roads with low tread noise and good snow traction.

I just saw that you said your baby was a week old. Yeah, don't take Fenugreek. Just put the baby on the breast every time he/she gives you a hunger cue and do not supplement with anything... expressed breastmilk or formula. Peanutwitt has some great advice, I just like to warn people to be EXTREMELY causious when taking Reglan. I did and it caused severe depression. Some states have even deemed it to be unsafe for breastfeeding mother's to take to increase their supply.posted 05/09/2011 by Crystal328
Do a "Lie-in " with your baby. The weekend is coming up, so make a committment to hanging out in bed with your baby. Keep your breasts exposed as much as possible, and let your baby nurse whenever they feel the need - even if its for only a few minutes. After a couple days of that, only pump AFTER your baby is full. You may only get a couple ounces at that point, but thats GOOD - it means you fed your baby and had 2 ounces more than needed. You can also drink Mother's MIlk Tea, and eat oatmeal as an assist to increase milk production. Please think about looking up the website Kellymom - there's lots of good breastfeeding information there.posted 05/11/2011 by tygherblossom
If its only a week after giving birth, don't worry, your milk will start coming in with your baby's demand. A newborn baby's stomach is incredibly small and as their stomach stretches and their appetite increases, so will your milk supply. If you find that your baby is done nursing and still hungry, then I would suggest taking Fenugreek, you can also ask your doctor about Reglan. I took that in the past to increase my milk supply.posted 05/09/2011 by peanutwitt
Use Breastea from http://www.breastea.com and pump/breastfeed a lot.posted 08/22/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
I do remember hearing about that side effect and my doctor even told me that was why he was giving a short regime (10 days), because extended use can cause side effects like depression.posted 05/10/2011 by peanutwitt
I just ordered that! I am having the same problem. You can go here to order Fenugreek: http://www.breastfeeding.hypermart.net/herbs.htmlposted 05/09/2011 by krislee31
Go to a health food store and there will be different teas and they should sell Fenugreek there also.posted 05/09/2011 by Crystal328

The following video clips have been annotated with the POL rubric in mind to help students and teachers preparing for competitions. The video clips include student performances and teaching artist Matthew Conley discussing important aspects of performance.
Teaching artist Matthew Conley stresses the importance of subtle dress, how to use movement during a performance, and how to channel nervousness into performance energy.
Teaching artist Matthew Conley demonstrates Appearance and Presence
Student Allegra Breedlove recites "Mrs. Caldera's House of Things" by Gregory Djanikian
Watch how Allegra poises herself before she begins speaking. Notice that her clothes are non-distracting solid colors. She is very sure of herself, confident, and she pauses before she begins reciting the poem. (Notice, too, how her "announcing-the-poem" voice is different than the recitation voice.) While reciting, she goes at her own pace, speeding up and slowing down as she sees fit; she controls the words, instead of being controlled by them. She demands all of our attention with eye contact, an authoritative tone, and engaged facial expressions. Her movements are subtle and controlled; her gestures are never huge or tacked on, and she is not illustrating the poem play by play. Instead, she keeps her hands folded in front of her, moving them subtly in a conversational way (which matches the tone of the poem) and smoothly changing positions to recapture audience attention when she wants to highlight her tonal shifts.
Conley recites "The More Loving One" by W.H. Auden and discusses meter and how to break out of it when speaking in order to bring a poem to life using unexpected phrasing and dynamics. Conley states, "Speech is not patterned; it moves around and is unpredictable. If you use dynamics to thwart the audience's expectations, it signals that you have internalized the poem."
Teaching artist Matthew Conley demonstrates Recitation vs. Speech
Student Otto Ochanda recites "Dance Russe" by William Carlos Williams
Otto is dressed in nondescript colors. His hand gestures are subtle. He takes his time with the poem, doesn't let the rhyme or meter rush him. He pauses where he feels a pause in the meaning of the poem, not where the text dictates it. His demeanor is so convincing that we listeners believe he is married with children, if only for the length of the poem. It is hard for a high school student to pull off a poem in the voice of an old man, but Otto achieves this voice through pacing and pauses, posture, and body language.
Student Allegra Breedlove recites "War Is Kind" by Stephen Crane
Notice how Allegra throws in a little unexpected emphasis and pause on the second syllable of "lover." If our attention was wandering, it is recaptured here in this moment. "These men were born to drill and die" is an iambic line, but notice how Allegra throws in a sizable pause after "drill." This pause allows her to accent both of the words that follow, "and die" which makes the audience aware of the emotional weight that line contains. If the line were spoken in simple iambs, we likely would miss the gravity of the situation. Notice too, her voice inflection—she is loudest on drill, and even though she is accenting "and die," her voice also gets quieter, too, which tonally matches the emotional weight of the words. See if you can pick out other ways Allegra disrupts the expected meter and brings this poem to life!
Conley discusses how to use speed and add stress to certain words to emphasize their importance, and how to make choices about using volume to affect the poem.
Teaching artist Matthew Conley demonstrates Pacing, Accent, Volume
Student Leslie Shonhorst recites "Memory as a Hearing Aid" by Tony Hoagland
Leslie begins slowly, like the elderly voice in the poem might if it were speaking aloud. Once she approaches the crazy memories of 1970, her voice gets louder and faster and we race through those memories the way we might have if we had been there. Then, her voice slows and gets quieter during the line, "when we weren't sure our lives were worth surviving." These choices emphasize what follows, "I'm here to tell you that they were," spoken slowly, yet firmly, and a little louder than the line before. This line, instead of getting buried mid-stanza, is lifted up by Leslie's choices and stays with the reader for the rest of the recitation as the most important line in the poem.
Student Otto Ochanda recites "A Negro Speaks of Rivers" by Langston Hughes
Otto opens the poem slowly, with emphasis on the word "known" in the line, "I have known rivers." The line repeats and Otto's emphasis and volume on the word "known" the second time around is much bigger, as it is with the next two words, "rivers" and "ancient." Because of the choice in pacing, accent, and volume, the audience intuitively knows that there is great importance and wisdom in what is being said. The poem picks up speed through "as the" and emphasizes "world," the speed is maintained through "older than the flow of human" and then Otto pauses. The following word, "blood" stands out. Then Otto pauses again between "human" and "veins." These pauses make us consider the words "human," "blood" and "veins" in a way we wouldn't if Otto hadn't highlight them; by emphasizing these words, Otto is giving us a chance to infer the larger implications of the poem. See if you can find other examples of how Otto uses volume, speed and pauses to emphasize other parts of this poem.

Retiring to the Caribbean is a dream for many. With spectacular beaches, world-class golf courses, sensational spas and excellent fishing, for many retirees the Caribbean lifestyle can't be beaten.

Islands such as Barbados, St Lucia and Montserrat, also offer a relaxed pace of life and, with strong historical and cultural connections to the UK, are ideal for British buyers. The Dominican Republic is popular with German buyers while St Maarten attracts French and Dutch retirees.
Several Central American countries including Belize have actually created programs specifically designed to attract retirees which have made them popular retirement destinations. Costa Rica, for example, offers retirees who can demonstrate an income of $2,500 per month for at least 5 years a pensionado visa. Panama has also developed a program specifically for retirees, offering a one-time exemption on the importation of household goods, as well as significant reductions on entertainment, travel, prescription medicines, dental and eye exams and the closing costs of home loans.

Needed: Funding and Policy
Despite their differences, HealthInfoNet Maine and BronxRHIO share the same uncertainty about their financial future. Both are funded, at least in part, by federal grants, but that alone is not a sustainable model.
Landry said subscriber fees constitute about half of HealthInfoNet's financial support. As for what happens when grants stop funding the other half, she said "discussions are under way."
At BronxRHIO, meanwhile, a mix of federal, state and local grants make up about two-thirds of funding, with the rest coming from membership dues, – an approach Scaglione said will serve the organization for the next five years.
Beyond that, he anticipates continuing with grants as an inevitable part of the mix, but said the organization will also move toward a service-based model of membership, with dues based (in addition to the size of a provider) on what specific services the institution wants BronxRHIO to provide.
As the future financial models, critical services, standards and policies by which the NwHIN will ultimately operate continue to take shape, in simplest terms the NwHIN can be boiled down to getting one provider connected to another, and then to another, and then another – until it's time to plot yet again a new and different national map.

Im 26 weeks and I have been getting Braxton Hicks Contractions since I was at least 22 weeks. Its just a tightning feeling just below your belly button and should make your belly hard. But it only last for a few minutes and shouldn't happend too many times a day. Its kind of uncomfortable to me as I get farther along now it seems they get tighter! But you will know if your stomach starts to tighten and get hard. My baby likes to kick when I get them!posted 11/27/2007 by proudmommy07-08

The baby moves more at night because you are less active at night. Braxton hicks are very uncomfortable but its just your uterus tightening. Lower back pain is common because of extra weight you are carrying around a pillow or a hot bath usualy helps me.posted 01/20/2008 by mrsgoode8919
I have been having braxton hicks for awhile too, since about 22 weeks. They have become a little more irritating and painful now but slightly comforting because with my son (he will be 3 in November) I had NO contractions until I was being induced.

There have been rumors about the job cuts for weeks. While no specific reasons have been given, Yahoo management is likely to say that it has begun to consolidate its content business and make its technology operations more efficient. Some of the firings may also be based on the merger of Yahoo's search features with Microsoft's (MSFT) Bing search property. The joint venture will have about 25% of the U.S. search market, compared to Google's 67%.
Whether the layoffs will offer investors any long-term solace remains to be seen. Yahoo faces more challenges than the improvement of its technology facilities and the streamlining of its content business. Facebook now accounts for nearly a quarter of all display advertising sold in the U.S. The Facebook inventory is usually sold at a deep discount compared to Yahoo ads. Many industry experts believe that this low-priced inventory has put pressure on what Yahoo can charge for its ads, further undermining revenue. Layoffs can't solve that problem.

Gianni Amelio's complex but unfocused "The Missing Star" wanders too long through the backroads of China to hold much interest, except perhaps as a superbly photographed travelogue about that vast country. Above all, this slender tale is frustratingly under-motivated. It's hard to see where the arthouse auds are going to come from.
Weaving between a realistic, semi-documentary style and a metaphoric story, Gianni Amelio's complex but unfocused "The Missing Star" wanders too long through the backroads of China to hold much interest, except perhaps as a superbly photographed travelogue about that vast country. Above all, this slender tale — about an Italian maintenance man convinced he must repair a defective blast furnace sold to the Chinese — is frustratingly under-motivated. Lacking the emotional grab of the director's "The House Keys" and with a premise about as sexy as a remake of "Potemkin," it's hard to see where the arthouse auds are going to come from.However, the film may generate press and prizes in Italy based on the high repute in which local crix hold Amelio, who won a Golden Lion at Venice in 1998 for "The Way We Laughed." Here once again, a nicely understated political dimension adds depth and resonance to Sergio Castellitto's working-class hero and his otherwise crazy mission. In addition, Amelio's vision of China as an uncharted wilderness recalls the visual elegance of Michelangelo Antonioni's 1972 doc "Chung Kuo — China," as well as the spirit of the master's "Il grido" set in the Po valley. Interestingly, in Ermanno Rea's novel the protag never sets foot in the place. When an Italian steel mill closes down, its refurbished blast furnace is sold to a Chinese broker with few questions asked. Vincenzo Buonavolonta (Castellitto), whose last name means "Goodwill," barges in on an all-Chinese dinner and demands to be allowed to repair a design flaw that has already caused serious accidents. In his clumsy excitement to make himself understood, the out-of-work technician gets a young interpreter at the dinner, Liu (Tai Ling), fired. Rather than carefully disassemble the furnace, as Vincenzo insists, the buyers rip it apart with blow torches and whisk it away to China. For reasons that desperately need explaining but aren't, Vincenzo sets off after the furnace on his own dime. Act Two finds him in modern, boom-town Shanghai. Told the furnace has been shipped to a distant city, he miraculously tracks down Liu and persuades her to let bygones be bygones and accompany him. This fairly intriguing set-up starts to fall apart as soon as the story evaporates into a road movie. The long, exhausting trip takes Vincenzo and Liu up the Yangtze river by barge, by bus to Liu's picturesque village Yinchuan, then by truckbed to Baotou, bringing him face to face with abject poverty and abandoned children, overcrowded apartment blocks and a remote socialist metropolis still presided over by statues of Mao. All these places are depicted as unimaginably remote and exotic. Most unrealistically, Vincenzo does not own a cell phone, making it all the easier for him to get lost in this unknown universe. As the Marco Polo of the situation, Castellitto ("Don't Move," "The Religion Hour") is rudely brash but also idealistic and determined, probably with a past as a union militant though this is never spelled out. One can't help admiring the Don Quixote in him, though his quest makes so little sense that it seems more like a metaphor about a man searching for himself. He is well-paired narratively, though not romantically, with the 21-year-old language student Ling, who is an appealing presence with her grave face belied by a wry sense of humor. Armchair travelers will find paradise in cinematographer Luca Bigazzi's deep focus panoramas and his gliding camera, making every shot a knockout. Locations were lensed in Beijing, Singapore and Genoa. Also richly textured is the soundtrack by veteran Remo Ugolinelli and Franco Piersanti's moving score.

The spirit of infamous gangster Al Capone lives on.
This Fall, the larger-than-life personalities of Capone's Restaurant and Pizzeria will descend on Reelz with an even larger amount of drama in the reality docuseries The Capones. Linked by their notorious bloodline, The Capones will follow the lasagna-loving dysfunctional family as they run their family Italian restaurant and try to keep the peace while living under one roof with a guaranteed result of yelling, manipulation, jealously and passion.
Each episode of this drama-filled series follows loud-mouthed Dom Capone "The Boss" working with his meddling mother, Dawn, who gets involved in everyone's business, whether they like it or not. The two are joined by Dom's current girlfriend "The Princess" and ex-girlfriend "Madness Cherry Lips"— already a great reality set-up — two crazy aunts and the unemployed friend "Sausage", drunken cousins, a pathological liar, flirty waitresses, an eccentric Uncle Lou, an Irishman, and the neighborhood troublemakers "Meatball" and "Bart." No matter what goes on between them during the week, they always meet for a traditional Sunday dinner where the drama is always spicier than the pepperoni — and with this interesting mesh of characters we don't doubt it.

On 5 July, KPMG and the four other organizations involved in rescuing the "Île aux Clowns" announced their plans for the organisation's future.
KPMG Luxembourg Société coopérative presents its 2015 Transparency Report, as required by Article 73 of the Luxembourg Law of 18 December 2009 on the audit profession.
A company's externalities have, historically, had little or no impact on its cash flows or risk profile. For this reason, externalities have been largely excluded from the measurement of corporate value.
Sensing an opportunity with the transposition of the AIFMD into national law in July 2013, Luxembourg has had the foresight to build added-value into the legislation by introducing favourable measures for the establishment of fund raising vehicles.
The report takes into account industry data as stated in the 2015 annual reports of the CSSF and the BCL, as well as the ranking data published by the Luxemburger Wort.
The participation exemption is one of the most important features of the Luxembourg tax system. It provides a 100% exemption on dividends and capital gains which stem from equity investments. The brochure explains the rules in detail.
KPMG is pleased to present its updated sixth edition of the Luxembourg Regulated Investment Vehicles brochure, incorporating the recent changes in the legal and regulatory environment.
The AIFMD will have a significant re-shaping effect on the alternative investment fund industry in Europe and beyond.

The KIID is made of: Title, Management Company details, Objective and Investment Policy, Risk and Reward profile, Charges, Past Performance and Practical Information including Authorisation details. For structured funds, the Past Performance section is not applicable but the Management Company must include, in the Investment Policy section, three performance scenario; favorable, unfavorable and medium scenarios. From this one can derive certain challenges, which include:
As a consequence of the KIID regulations, KPMG has decided to strategically position itself as a leading provider in this area. Various capabilities and expertise have been developed (SRRI, simulation of past performance, production models, country specific requirements). KPMG also has an IT system which allows for the full automation of the KIID production. In short KPMG provides for the full outsourcing of the KIID production and compilation.
Management companies may have to revise their internal organisations in order to manage the KIID requirements and to ensure consistency between the other funds documentation (prospectus, fact sheet, marketing material, etc). The KIID production will also require scalable teams, such as at the beginning of the calendar year for the update of all KIIDs. Due to these various reasons, amongst others, large numbers of Management Companies are looking for an outsourced solution for to meet their specific needs. KPMG has developed a fully outsourced which includes various added value services and a compilation report, ISRS 4410, that can be disclosed to third parties.

RUSSIA'S APPAREL MARKET IS ON THE RISEOptimism returned to Collection Première Moscow, Eastern Europe's leading international fashion trade show held Feb. 24-27. "After a turbulent 2009 the Russian clothing market seems to have come out of the trough. We see clear signs of improvement on the horizon," said CPM Project Manager Christian Kasch. Indeed, the show drew 20% more exhibitors, or about 1,200 brands, and 6% more trade visitors, or 17,200 people, compared to its September 2009 edition. International exhibitors came from 30 countries. "The affluence was excellent," said Andrea Rossi from the Russian-Italian showroom D'Accordissima, which distributes in Russia casual brands such as Silvian Heach, Kocca, and Bray Steve Alan. "We met our usual clients who placed the orders and acquired more than 150 new contacts as well." A similar opinion was expressed by participants from other countries, such as Germany, which produced numerous representatives. "The Russian clothing market is recovering noticeably – this was apparent based on the business done by the German exhibitors. Experts are predicting lasting growth again beginning next year," said Philipp Kronen, managing director of the Igedo Company, which organizes the fair. The 15th edition of CPM will take place from Sept. 6-9, while the 16th edition will run from Feb. 22-25, 2011 at the Expocentre Fairgrounds in Moscow.

That day, the Diltzs learned from Johns Hopkins pediatric cardiologist Candace Gibbin that their unborn baby had transposition of the great arteries, a heart defect in which the main arteries (the pulmonary artery and the aorta) that carry blood to and from the heart are transposed (switched.) And they learned that they were having a boy.
HEAR Calvin's parents tell their story at Radiothon 2010
The emotional impact was compounded for Andy. His own mother had lost two babies to structural heart defects before he was born.
In the months leading up to Calvin's birth, Laura and Andy had a crash course in pediatric cardiology. They read voraciously and learned more than they ever thought they ever would about the human heart. At Hopkins Children's, pediatric heart surgeons Duke Cameron and Luca Vricella met with them and went over all the details.
"It was very difficult but it was also wonderful that they were so honest and upfront," says Andy.
Calvin was born on a Monday afternoon and taken to the neonatal intensive care unit that day. Seventy-two hours later, he underwent open-heart surgery. Throughout the seven-hour surgery, Laura and Andy received hourly updates from the surgical nurses.
Calvin's surgery was a complete success and he had a smooth post-op recovery. To protect against infection and injury as he grew, Calvin had to spend the first years of his life at home, and out of daycare. For Andy, who could have never imagined being the stay-at-home parent, the time spent with his two children, he says, was priceless. And the family learned that it could live nicely on one income.
Calvin continues to see pediatric cardiologists at Hopkins Children's for routine checkups, and so far he's gotten a clean bill of health. Now in preschool, he loves to dance and play with trains. When the day comes that he wants to play sports, he'll first need a stress test. Until then, it's full steam ahead for Calvin and his sister Ava, 6.

Factors To Consider When Setting Up A SEO Consultant Firm
This is the most important aspect of your firm. You are there to provide excellent services to the clients. You should therefore have workers who are fully qualified and who have had a great deal of practice. You should also have some experience so that the clients can see the kind of work that is going to be done. Specialization is important and therefore, your firm should have workers who are specialized in different SEO strategies.
Fees charges
This is a major attraction to clients. The fees charged should be proportionate to the kind of work that you expect to be done. This will avoid unnecessary loss of clients and will ensure that you compete favorably with your counterparts in the industry. You should therefore do some research on the fees before you set up your schedule to ensure it is favorable to you and the clients.
An SEO consultant should be highly skilled to convince the clients that you will do a better job. Treating your clients well means you will get good referrals in future. This will be responsible for the ultimate growth of your firm.

What is the best iPhone note app that has folders, allows sorting, searching, web syncing, has password protection and changeable font size and color? Well, I have tried a number of iPhone note applications to organize and save my notes on my new iPhone 3GS. I still have not found a perfect iPhone notes app that offers all of the features that I am looking for. However, after searching for the perfect app, I did find one that is the closest to what I view as perfect and fits best for my note taking needs.
As mentioned, what I regard as a complete iPhone note app is one that includes folders, subfolders, searchable content, sorting by name or date, an application that is password secured, one that offers different font formats and colors and can be synced through the web.
Below are list of the best iPhone note taking apps that offer these; but the problem is not all of them have it all.
Lets start with the best iPhone note taking app – which I use now:
1. Daily Tracker:
It has almost everything I wanted in an iPhone note app.
What Daily Tracker has:
- Folders and Subfolders
- Searchable content
- Rotation keyboard
- Sorting by date, name and color of folder
- Password protection
- Google Docs back up
- Change font size
What Daily Tracker lacks:
- No option to change font style or colors
- A decent price. Daily tracker is being offered for $9.99, which is
- Daily Tracker – the name – does not do justice to the application.
To my experience Daily Tracker is the best and most complete note tacking app that has been so far offered for the iPhone users even though there is no indication of "Note" in the name; and there should be.
Daily Tracker has a mini budgeting and tracking function that you can set for anything you like. You can create tracking files to monitor spending money on gas, groceries, your medication, income or even the time you spend exercising at the gym.
You can add voice memos, pictures or maps to each document.
You can create "to do lists" for groceries and much more.
Daily tracker surprising has an RSS reader you can set it up for any site you prefer.
Daily Tracker scores: 9/10
For more info see here
2. Simplenote
- Just as its name implies Simplenote is very simple; (I can't say that's a good thing for me but I guess for some it is.)
- It has Searchable content
- Easy to read and rich font
- Keyboard and text rotation
- Web syncing (*corrected)
- Sorting by Modification, date, and alphabetical (*corrected)
- Emailing notes
- and it's FREE
What Simplenotes lacks :
- No Folders and Subfolders
- No Password protection
- No Web syncing
- No changing font style or size
Simplenote scores: 7/10
For more info see here
3. Evernote:
- Searchable content
- Easy to read and rich font
- Keyboard and text rotation
- Emailing notes
What Evernote lacks other important features:
- No Folders and Subfolders
- No Sorting by date, name and color of folder
- No Password protection
- No Web syncing
- No changing font style or size
One really cool feature Evernote has is that it keeps a history of where you take each one of your note through the iPhone GPS. You can see your previous notes as well as the exact place they were written down: ideal for traveling.
Evernote scores: 6/10
For more info see here
4. Notes (the original iPhone note app)
- What I like about the original iPhone Note, which I used a lot with the older 2G version of the iPhone, is its easy to read and rich font style and easy-on-eye font color.
- It has searchable content
- Rotating keyboard and text
What it really lacks (and for the original iPhone note app it lacks a lot):
- No folders and Subfolders
- No sorting by date, name and color of folder
- No password protection
- No web syncing
- No change font size
Notes (the original iPhone note app) scores: 5/10.

Missouri's Brown Trout Fishery
Lake Taneycomo is a spooky place at night. Nightly blankets of fog create thick shadows and swirls that would make a Hollywood special effects artist envious. Quiet settles over certain sections of this narrow lake after sunset, creating a ghostly arena for monsters.
Phil Lilley of Branson and I were hunting for these "monsters" as we slipped through the darkness armed with flyrods tipped with black woolly buggers. My glow-in-the-dark watch read midnight, the witching hour. Even without current surging through the generators at Table Rock Dam, navigating the shallow riffles and shoals was treacherous, requiring us to choose our steps very carefully. A misplaced foot meant a cold bath.
When we finally reached our spot, we fed out line into the void. Darkness mixed with fog made our eyes useless. To keep from spooking trout from this black hole, we only used a tiny light to change flies.
I was fumbling with tangled line when Lilley set his hook into one of the monsters. His opponent immediately started a series of deep lunges, sweeping from side to side with relentless force and determination, like a bull trying to throw a cowboy. Occasionally we heard dull, hollow splashes resounding through the darkness as the monster broke the surface.
Soon Lilley won the fight and gently hand-landed a 14-inch brown trout. I carefully stepped over, turned on my light and savored my first look at a Missouri brown trout. Golden yellow hues and black spots twinkled in the flashlight beam like jewels under a lit glass counter. Lilley gently unhooked his beauty and let it slip back to dark depths for a period of sulking.
We caught several rainbow trout that night without hooking another brown. Lilley's 14-incher was remarkably small compared to what we sought. After all, Taneycomo is one of America's premier brown trout trophy lakes. The state record, caught in Bull Shoals Lake, just below Lake Taneycomo's Powersite Dam on November 10, 1997, by Rob Caudel of Springfield, weighed 26 pounds, 13 ounces.
Missouri Department of Conservation fisheries biologists and experienced brown trout anglers know that bigger browns exist in Taneycomo. During a sampling expedition, MDC staff captured and quickly released a male brown trout that weighed about 37 pounds. Brown trout obviously thrive in Taneycomo, but where do they come from?
"Brown trout are not native to Missouri," said Chris Vitello, a fisheries management biologist for the Conservation

No slack for O'Malley's March
In her column today reporting on the release of the new O'Malley's March CD, Laura Vozzella asks a simple question: "Ehrlich took more than a few hits from Team O'Malley for playing lots of golf while in office. Can't O'Malley be fairly accused of strumming while Maryland burns? Or should Republicans and Dems alike just concede that eveyone needs a way to blow off gubernatorial steam?"
Apparently not. The state GOP sent out a release this afternoon with the subject, "O'Malley Fiddles While Maryland Burns" that includes:
"Maybe Martin O'Malley should have been spending more time working to really streamline Maryland's government and relieve the burden on working families and less time recording his latest 'O'Malley's March' album," [state GOP chairman Jim] Pelura concluded.
"In the midst of a budget crisis, during one of the most difficult economic times our state and nation has faced in recent years, Martin O'Malley is holding a "CD Release Party" in Baltimore on Saturday, March 14th to promote his newest album. Tickets are $25," said MDGOP Executive Director Justin Ready. "Perhaps Governor O'Malley could donate the proceeds from that event to help state employees keep their jobs."
And then the GOP includes this picture. Because they consider it flattering, I'm sure:

Broomfield forgot the morning then won the afternoon.
In between, the Eagles' baseball team took a break Saturday at Dave & Buster's, just a short seven-minute drive down Buchtel Boulevard from All-City Field, site of the Class 4A championship against Air Academy.
On a beautiful but windy day, they stayed out of the sun, ate lunch in the air conditioning and, yes, watched baseball.
Broomfield had dropped a morning game to Air Academy, but, because it entered the day unbeaten in the 4A tournament, got another shot at the championship in an afternoon all-or-nothing game.
Exuding energy after lunch, the Eagles took full advantage by blasting 11 doubles en route to a 12-4 title-clinching win over the Kadets.
During the break between games, "We really forgot about the first game and moved on to the second," Eagles senior Jackson Lockwood said.
Broomfield jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first, then broke things open with five runs on five doubles in the third.
Hayden Estes, son of Broomfield coach Garren Estes, stretched a lead-off single into a double with aggressive baserunning.
"I kind of sat back in that first game," Garren Estes said. "There were some times I could've tried to make some things happen, and I think it cost us. So we came out the second game, and we were going to take the extra bases."
Those instructions echoed in his son's mind in the third inning.
"He came (into the dugout) and told us that we've got to put the pressure on them," said Hayden Estes, who finished with two doubles. "That's what kicked in my head when I went into second. He motivated the team right before that inning. That led to five runs."
Estes was sacrificed to third, then scored on a balk. But his hustle ignited a rally and a Broomfield offense that had sat dormant since the morning.
The Eagles led 6-0 after the top of the third, and Air Academy spent the rest of the afternoon playing catch-up.
"They got on a roll," said Air Academy coach Bernie Moncallo, whose team stranded nine runners. "I tried to change every pitcher I could to give them different looks, and they still were hitting the ball. It was just their day."
The Kadets did cut the lead to 6-2 heading to the fourth, but Broomfield answered with two more runs.
By the time Ben Martinez hit a two-run homer in the top of the seventh, it was icing on the Eagles' fifth baseball championship in school history.
"We weren't holding back," Garren Estes said. "This was the last game of the year, and we were going to take it to them."
Brandon Bailey, Broomfield's ace all season who pitched 2 perfect innings in picking up the save Friday, gave up three earned runs in a complete game.
Lockwood went 3-for-4 with three doubles and an RBI, following up on his 10-strikeout performance on the mound in the 3-2 morning loss to the Kadets.

Walking through one of the lower extremities of Assembly Hall on Saturday — I prefer that to bowels — I had to wonder if the arena had a coat room.
These four male students walked past, with their chests painted cream and crimson. I know that because they weren't wearing any shirts, or coats. They weren't carrying anything, either. No backpacks.
They had just opened the doors to the arena and I knew the teens were outside. The students, and the temperature.
Geez, guys, it's flu season.
A long line of students snaked up to Assembly Hall as if they were waiting for the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Now if you've ever wondered why they don't put Disneyland or Disney World in Indiana, it's because people value their fingers and toes, and the winter weather Saturday tends to make those valuable assets fall off if exposed too long.
Even so, nobody seemed to mind this Saturday. They were all waiting for No. 3-ranked Indiana to face No. 1 Michigan in a game for all ages. Literally.
As opposed to Sunday's spectacle in New Orleans, the Wolverines and Hoosiers met in an event that showcases pure emotion. By "pure emotion," I mean that the fans, ages 9 to 90, have some connection to the programs.
They might have attended one of the schools or they might have grown up in one of those communities, or even states. They care.
It's not that some of the fans who attended Sunday's Super Bowl didn't care about the Ravens or the 49ers. However, from covering that event in the past, I guarantee you that a third of that place was filled with people who wanted to be seen at a big event, or they came for the halftime show, or they have more money than God, and the Super Bowl was the place to be.
Over the years, I have learned the NFL gives people a reason to drink on Sunday.
I'm not saying that college students don't drink adult beverages before a big game. They do. I spent years doing the research on that one.
But we're talking mountain spring emotion as opposed to the kind that is purified and delivered in a plastic bottle. Baltimore residents love to watch the Ravens. Hoosiers just love their Hoosiers.
If that is splitting hairs, so be it. Think of it this way when we consider the college connection. I attended the University of Arizona in Tucson. Considering that Tucson has no professional sports teams, the Wildcats are the No. 1 source of entertainment. When you fill McKale Center with almost 15,000 people, it gets crazy.
But there are levels of bonkers. Tucson is known as a "retirement" destination so many of the fans are wealthy transplants from other areas of the country. Compare that arena's bedlam to what you find at Assembly Hall, where the fans mostly have grown up on local corn. If the Arizona fan's emotional investment is a 9.95, Indiana is a 9.99.
It is, indeed, an investment, not a bandwagon.
Sure, you have exceptions in the pros, such as Green Bay where fans go shirtless in December in an attempt to show their team colors and become a part of the 1000 Ways to Die television series. But, overall, it's just not the same.
And that love, by the way, is right back at you at Indiana. Tom Crean, and his administration, made sure the students weren't allowed to line up before 3 p.m. on Saturday for the 9 p.m. game.
Crean said it was a big day, considering ESPN's "Gameday" had come to town and many of the students attended that special in the morning at Assembly Hall. He wanted the students to go home and get some rest. I would imagine Crean and company really were concerned about the kids spending all day in 17-degree weather.
You know those kids. Some might even show up without a coat.

Beta Quadrant
this wiki
|The quadrants of the Milky Way
| The Beta Quadrant is located in the lower left.
(click to navigate)
(covers information from several alternate timelines)
The Beta Quadrant was the common designation during the 24th century for one-quarter of the Milky Way Galaxy when viewed from a point of view perpendicular to the plane of the galaxy. It extended ninety degrees spinward of an imaginary line drawn from the center of the galaxy, the galactic core, passing at least near the Sol system. (VOY: "Pathfinder", "Year of Hell")
Major portions of the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Star Empire were located in the Beta Quadrant. The Federation also claimed territory in the quadrant in the 23rd and 24th centuries. (Star Trek: Insurrection production artwork)
In 2293, the starship USS Excelsior, commanded by Captain Hikaru Sulu, completed a three-year exploratory voyage in the Beta Quadrant which included cataloging gaseous anomalies. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)
Seventy years later, Captain Lisa Cusak and the crew of the USS Olympia began a seven-year exploration voyage in the Beta Quadrant. Following this mission, the Olympia crashed on a planet in the Rutharian sector en route back to Federation space. While escorting a convoy to the Vegan system in 2374, the crew of the USS Defiant made contact with Cusak in 2371 via a temporal anomaly. (DS9: "The Sound of Her Voice")
The Yattho, a species known for their precognitive abilities, were native to the Beta Quadrant. (VOY: "Before and After")
In an alternate timeline, the USS Voyager used a quantum slipstream drive to cross the Delta and Beta Quadrants, before crashing on an Class L planet in the Takara sector, a few parsecs short of reaching the Alpha Quadrant. Also, Starfleet Intelligence salvaged a Borg temporal transmitter from the debris of a Borg cube in the Beta Quadrant. (VOY: "Timeless")
A Borg ship, commandeered by liberated drones and Axum, was located in a remote sector of the Beta Quadrant. Axum described this location as being on the border of fluidic space. (VOY: "Unimatrix Zero, Part II")
When members of the Hierarchy captured Captain Janeway and forced The Doctor to obtain Voyager's warp core for them, he impersonated Janeway and told Commander Chakotay a cover story involving a fictitious R'Kaal Imperium which supposedly controlled "thousands of parsecs from here to the edge of the Beta Quadrant." (VOY: "Renaissance Man")
- Very little is known about the Beta Quadrant, canon or otherwise. Graphics from VOY: "Pathfinder", "Year of Hell", and "Endgame" support the location of the Beta Quadrant relative to the other quadrants. That the Sol system lies at the border between the Alpha and Beta Quadrants is stated explicitly in the Star Trek Encyclopedia, and is supported in part by a graphic from "Year of Hell, Part I".
- Although the Star Trek Encyclopedia states that Federation, Klingon, and Romulan space are all situated across both the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, all three powers and governments in their vicinities are exclusively referred to as being in the Alpha Quadrant on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager. For example, the Dominion War is characterized as a conflict between powers of the Alpha and Gamma Quadrants. Similarly, Voyager's destination is the Alpha Quadrant, not whatever territory the Federation or its allies may claim in the Beta Quadrant. Throughout both series, virtually every race that is not explicitly located in the Gamma or Delta Quadrants is described as indigenous to the Alpha Quadrant.
- A possible rationalization for this discrepancy is that characters use the term "Alpha Quadrant" as shorthand for the group of governments that collectively reside at least partly in the Alpha Quadrant. (This would be similar to how Russia and Turkey may be described as European nations.) However, the extent to which these governments' territories extend beyond the Alpha Quadrant (if at all) has never been established in canon.
- The first serious references to the Beta Quadrant were towards the end of Star Trek: Voyager, more an indication that the crew's journey was relatively close to an end than anything else. Nevertheless, fans have claimed that, due to the distance traversed by the USS Voyager, that series should have seen the characters reach the Beta Quadrant before the end of the seven year run.
- The Fen Domar, with whom Voyager was engaged in battle in an alternate timeline, may be a Beta Quadrant civilization. This is based on the ship's close proximity to the quadrant's border in "Endgame" and Admiral Kathryn Janeway's comments that the ship would have encountered them just a few years after the events of that episode.
- According to scenic artist Geoffrey Mandel's book, Star Trek: Star Charts, the Beta Quadrant was also home to the Vulcans, Andorians, Orions, Bolians, Son'a, Risians, Organians, Coridan, Axanar, Nausicaans, Suliban, Gorn and a litany of Star Trek's more recognizable alien species. In fact, the book suggests that most of the early voyages of the Enterprise NX-01 took place in the Beta Quadrant with only a few excursions into the Alpha Quadrant. This is, however, not necessarily accurate, as while the book was created to strictly adhere to canon, episodes aired after its publication sometimes contradict its content.

Dozens of cars were broken into and the Craven County Sheriff's Office says this wasn't the first time.
The break-ins happened sometime last Thursday night and early Friday morning in neighborhoods from Leonard Drive to Gibbs Road off of Old Cherry Point Road.
All the cars that were broken into were unlocked and many of the items stolen were easy to grab, like GPS units, sunglasses and change.
Captain Joe Heckman with the sheriff's office says it's important to lock your car doors even if you're home.
The investigation is on going.

Google announced it's latest Android Operating Software- Android 4.1 a month ago and the OTA (Over the Air) update was sent to three devices – Google Nexus, Google Nexus S and Motorolla Xoom. Almost all the Nexus and Nexus S around the globe have already received the OTA for Jelly Bean i.e. Android 4.1 while Motorolla Xoom's update has just been rolled out a few hours back.
Other than these devices people who use Samsung Galaxy SIII and HTC One X would surely be itching to try their hands on the new Android OS version. So today here we are with a hands on video of Jelly Bean on HTC One X! To make it very clear, this isn't the official update i.e. the rom that you see over here isn't the official version that will be released by HTC (as it is, this one is senseless and HTC wouldn't go sense-less if you know what I mean).
The rom that you will see in the video is a Jelly Bean 4.1.1 AOSP build for HTC One X and has been followed on from a port from Nexus 7. There are a couple of things that aren't working at the moment but they don't hold much importance as such. One of them is portable Wi-Fi hotspot but given the battery life of the device, it not working is better for using it would certainly drain out the battery all the more quickly. The rom can be downloaded from XDA forums here.
Here is the video of Jelly Bean in action on the HTC One X. Check it out!

The War Must Not Go On!
Last evening, President Obama made his long-awaited announcement on beginning withdrawal of the 103,000 U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
Last evening, President Obama made his long-awaited announcement on beginning withdrawal of the 103,000 U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
This past weekend, Christians around the world celebrated one of our holiest holi-days: Pentecost. Pentecost, which means "50 days," is celebrated seven weeks after Easter (hence the 50), and marks the birthday of the Church, when the Holy Spirit is said to have fallen on the early Christian community like fire from the heavens. (For this reason, lots of Christians wear red and decorate in pyro-colors. This day is also where the fiery Pentecostal movement draws its name).
But what does Pentecost Sunday have to do with just another manic Monday?
What does a religious event a couple of thousand years old have to offer the contemporary, pluralistic, post-Christian world we live in? I'd say a whole lot. Here's why:
Let me start by confessing my bias. Not only am I a Christian, but I am a Christian who likes fire. I went to circus school and became a fire-swallowing, fire-breathing, torch-juggling-pyro-maniac as you'll see here. So naturally, I like Pentecost.
Have you heard the story of Sung-Bong Choi? I absolutely love these kinds of stories. And it's not that I just love these kinds of stories, I need these kinds of stories. Perhaps, we all need these kind of stories.
This Sunday is Pentecost. For 50 days, a group of 120 followers of Jesus waited. Their teacher, for whom they had left all they had, was now gone. Judas, one of their own, betrayed their master and then killed himself. The comforter they had been promised had not yet come.
The scenes were stunning: Hundreds of demonstrators pouring across the fence between Syria and the Israeli occupied Golan Heights.

Q:Do you make ceiling mounted blinds? I have a bay window that need three seperate blinds and can not mount inside or outside. What do you suggest.
A:Most of our window blinds and shades can be installed as ceiling mount blinds. Our horizontal blinds such as wood blinds and faux wood blinds come standard with mounting brackets that may be used as either side mount or ceiling mount. Other window blinds and shades come with top mount brackets or can be ordered as ceiling mount. If you have any questions please contact customer service for more information about the specific blind or shade you are interested in.
Ceiling mount blinds and shades must be attached to the top of the window frame and therefore cannot be installed in arch top windows. Window shades such as roller shades, honeycomb cell shades and others come standard with top mount brackets. If you have an application where the blinds cannot be mounted into the top of the window frame you will need to request a side mount bracket.
Shop our wide selection of ceiling mount blinds and shades. Do it yourself, save big with our discount prices and free shipping.

Access-Ability, a local nonprofit that loans medical equipment to those in need, received a $10,000 donation.
Columbus East High School has a new a cappella group called the Acalympians.
Pregnancy support agency Route 21 has 20 new baby blankets to distribute to teen mothers.
That all transpired from a longtime Columbus high school tradition: the senior project.
The projects have been a rite of passage for seniors since 2003, when they became mandatory for every student to graduate from Columbus North High School, Columbus East High School and, later, Columbus Signature Academy New Tech.
Four years of coursework and learning come down to a 10-minute presentation to a panel of judges from the school and from the community.
"This process is a culmination of all the skills they have been learning and they have been taught through formal years of schooling," said Anne Edds, senior project coordinator at East. "It lets students take charge of and take responsibility for their own learning."
Project purpose
Columbus East High School first offered a senior capstone course in 2000 as part of its college-readiness pathway.
The project was not mandatory and only about half of the senior class participated — but that quickly changed.
Teachers and administrators presented the idea to the superintendent and school board at the time.
"They were so supportive of the concept that they mandated it for all seniors," Director of Secondary Education Bill Jensen said.
Jensen said the senior projects are designed so students can show their teachers and the community what they can do beyond passing tests.
All Columbus seniors — there were about 850 of them this year — are given the same requirements: a proposal, a research paper, a project, a portfolio and a presentation.
"They should be able to articulate how the project has stretched their learning and their intellectual growth through their senior project journey," Jensen said.
Edds said the project provides students with a set of skills they can use outside of the classroom. Students learn if they set up a meeting, they are going to need to be there on time. And they learn if they procrastinate, they are going to fall behind and experience stress.
"Time management, organizational skills, the ability to self-start — those are all skills these students are going to need no matter what they're doing," she said. "They're naturally embedded in the senior project."
Naveen Menon, a senior at East, said his project taught him a lot about science but also about time management, free thinking, troubleshooting and analytical assessment.
"Every day, I'd go to the lab, put on a lab coat and switch on the centrifuge," he said.
He completed a program through the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis that paired him with a professor examining Lowe's syndrome, which is a disease with symptoms similar to glaucoma.
"It's always interesting to learn the cold, hard facts of life," he said.
Not all students see the value in a senior project while they're in the midst of it — a student in Washington state recently completed a senior project on ending senior projects.
She argued the projects waste class time and money, and some Columbus parents have written letters to The Republic in the past voicing the same concerns.
Edds said senior projects are different in Columbus, however, because the expectations are based on an individual student's abilities.
"We understand projects need to be reasonable for students and their skill and ability level," she said. "After students graduate, they come back and speak with us and they definitely recognize the benefits."
Changing the community
About a third of the projects at Columbus East are community-oriented every year — another third have a career focus and the rest are centered on a personal interest, such as learning to play the banjo.
"It is very beneficial and you end up with a win-win situation," Edds said. "You have a community organization that needs work accomplished or addressed and they don't necessarily have the manpower or finances. And then you have a student who is willing to do the work, and the student ends up with a very powerful, very strong senior project."
Every project at North must benefit the community in some way.
"Columbus is such a philanthropic community to begin with, and we felt the students needed to start giving back," said Lisa Cooley, senior project coordinator at North.
She said the effort is working: Columbus is a better community because of the senior projects.
Officials at Turning Point Domestic Violence Services wouldn't dispute that. The Turning Point Dance Marathon is the organization's largest fundraiser of the year, representing 7.5 percent of the agency's annual revenue. It started as a senior project.
"The amount of money the senior projects can bring to an organization is life-changing," said Cindy Olson, executive director of Access-Ability.
Andrew Jones, a senior at North, sold ornaments to raise more than $10,000 for the organization to purchase durable medical equipment.
As part of the project, Olson took Jones and his wrestling team out in power chairs to give them perspective. They took note of cracked sidewalks, broken glass and high curbs.
"I realized it's two different worlds if you're in a power chair," he said. "It's my duty to help."
Madel Presto's senior project benefited a smaller community: the performing arts department.
She formed an a cappella group, the Acalympians, and organized several concerts to raise funds. The group also sang "Happy Birthday" to dozens of East students, brightening their day.
A Columbus golf course is a beneficiary of this year's batch of projects. Senior Jake Armuth painted for Par 3.
He replaced tee markers and repainted water dispensers. He touched up the stakes and posts that were cracked or chipping.
"I wanted to repay Columbus for its golfing community," the four-year golfer for North said. "They've treated me well. It felt great repaying where it all started for me."
Springboard for success
Haley Newland, a senior at New Tech, said her project helped her reach her dream of publishing a novel — and now she has the confidence to continue as an author.
She started writing a story when she was 13 years old, and those words can now be purchased as a paperback book.
With the help of fellow seniors Joshua Bederaux-cayne and Justin Monroe, Newland published her original novel, "Zethena and the Sky Pirates."
"(New Tech) really paved the way into helping me follow my dreams during my senior project," she said. "Without their approval, I never would have been given the confidence or reliance to finish this book."
Nathan Larrison is director of the Boys and Girls Club at Foundation for Youth. He said he never would have landed in that job if it were not for his senior project in 2001.
He was volunteering at a nursing home that is now called Keepsake Village, but he was also very active in his art class. To combine those two experiences from high school, he organized an art show at the nursing home as his senior project.
"It was all about events and planning and prep and organizing people and things," he said. "It's certainly been a big help to where I am now."
He said he maintained a C average in high school, but he earned a perfect score on his senior project.
"It's a huge opportunity to shine other than being textbook-savvy," he said. "It's a great opportunity, period. People can moan and groan about it, but that's kind of the point — to push you."
