Dec. 27, 1999
SAN DIEGO (AP) - One of the nation's most powerful defenses looks to shut down one of the country's most explosive quarterbacks as No. 7 Kansas State faces Marques Tuiasosopo and unranked Washington in the Holiday Bowl on Wednesday.
Led by Butkus Award finalist Mark Simoneau, Kansas State (10-1) put together its third straight 10-win season thanks mainly to a defense which allowed just 235 yards per game to rank second in the country. The Wildcats' only blemish was a 41-15 loss in Nebraska, perhaps costing them a shot at the national championship.
Washington (7-4) opened the season with back-to-back defeats before Tuiasosopo led the Huskies to victory in seven of their final nine games. They missed a chance at a Rose Bowl berth with a 23-20 overtime loss at UCLA on Nov. 13 and now play the role of underdog against Kansas State.
Simoneau, one of only two unanimous All-Big 12 Conference selections, amassed 91 tackles and 6 1/2 sacks to lead a defense that posted three shutouts during the season. This will be Simoneau's final game before becoming a likely first-round pick in this summer's NFL draft.
"He is a great football player and I am sure he will get to play a lot more after his days at Kansas State," Huskies coach Rick Neuheisel said.
Neuheisel is plenty familiar with Simoneau and the rest of the Wildcats, as he coached Colorado in the Big 12 the last four years before taking over the reins in Washington this season.
"It may be an advantage to have faced them before if I had ever found a weakness," Neuheisel said. "It is not an accident that they have had the type of success they have enjoyed over the past several years."
The Huskies have been a successful team this decade but endured a relatively disappointing campaign. The bright spot was Tuiasosopo, whose monstrous effort in a 35-30 win over Stanford on Oct. 30 made him the first player in Division I history to throw for 300 yards and run for 200 in the same game.
When able to throw with accuracy, Tuiasosopo can be one of the most dangerous weapons in college football. His 2,762 yards of total offense set a single-season school record and his 2,221 passing yards were the fifth-highest total in Huskies history.

Welcome to Little Greens!
What is Little Greens? Created by eight year old Sydne Watts, Little Greens is a 501(c)3 youth volunteer organization dedicated to cleaning up the streets, streams, parks and yards of Cherokee County, Georgia. The Little Greens pick up trash, recycle containers, and plant gardens in our communities to promote environmental conservation and keep our neighborhoods clean.
How did this all start?
Our Story: Sydne noticed trash scattered along the roads of the Cherokee County that she and her mom drove along. Couldn't someone do something about all this? she wondered. Yes, someone could. And that someone wasn't about to wait for an adult to catch the hint! Sydne then took the initiative to start up Little Greens, and soon, she and a group of her friends brainstormed ideas for their future as community volunteers and created their mission statement.
Little Greens Mission"To make the future a cleaner, better, safer place by getting together our group and changing the world."

VFW Applauds House for Advancing Vets' Bills

Congress moving forward with veterans jobs initiatives
WASHINGTON — The ambitious jobs plan outlined by the president Thursday night may be a tough sell in Congress, but lawmakers appear on the verge of advancing at least one piece of unemployment legislation in the near future: A new veterans jobs bill.
House committee passes jobs bill for veterans

Leaders in commerce and warfare share a common vocabulary—words like strategy, tactics, dominance, conflict and victory. Success in the military provides young people with leadership and management experience that can contribute to success in business. But the transition from waging war to conducting commerce is not always easy.

Indecent proposal, or merely business?
Isadora MacLean gave up on a personal life after a
disastrous and costly early marriage. She worked hard to
build her company, earning the nickname Lady Beast. No one
crosses her. So she's totally unprepared for Beau
Brannigan's offer: He'll return shares in her company in
exchange for a weekend spent as his 'hostage.'
Dubbed The Most Beautiful Man in advertising, Beau
Brannigan can have any woman he chooses, but the only one
he wants seems out of reach. When shares of her company
unexpectedly come into his hands, he knows he's found the
key to lure Isadora to his country estate, certain that
once he has her, he can win her heart.
Sexy as sin and twice as tempting, can this much younger
man unlock the heart of the Lady Beast?

4.5 Blue Ribbons:
"Morgan Ashbury brings a fascinating spin
to a much beloved fairy tale with her
story Beau and the Lady Beast. I
was quickly drawn into the storyline and
eagerly read each tension filled scene
waiting for the moment when Beau wins over
Isadoras affections. Theres no doubt
that he will win - hes so dominating and
determined yet loving that I even fell in
love with him. The hints we get of
Isadoras vulnerability throughout the
storyline make her a genuinely lovable
character. Shes simply protected herself
from being hurt emotionally by burying
herself in her company and avoiding
romance. While I knew this was a BDSM
fairy tale when I picked it up, I wasnt
prepared for how lovingly Beau uses his
Mastery Skills to get Isadora to trust
him and found his methods extremely
touching." Chrissy Dionne, Romance
4 Stars/Hot:
"Beau and the Lady Beast is a
fascinating, erotic and romantic tale
about trust, obedience and love. Isadora
has built a tough exterior so as to not
get hurt again. She is an intelligent
woman who has cut herself off from people,
yet instead of deterring Beau, he is
captivated by what is hidden behind her
prickly façade. This proposition allows
Beau to carefully plan a slow seduction of
Isadoras body and heart even though she
is uncomfortable being ten years his
senior. The connection they feel is quite
passionate and never humiliating. The use
of BDSM allows Beau to slowly teach
Isadora to trust him and more importantly
herself. The sex scenes, although later in
the story, were quite seductive and well
worth the wait. The anticipation of their
union was orchestrated so well that toys
should be at close hand. The main focus of
the story is the building relationship
between Isadora and Beau with minor
secondary characters that help to initiate
the proposal. I found that even though
Beau likes to be in control, he gives up
his control for Isadora by cherishing and
making her feel special. Beau is
definitely a hero that I fell in love with
at the very beginning. Not only did Beau
have the perfect lure for Isadora, he saw
beyond her beastly reputation to her inner
beauty. I found this tale an entertaining
entry to the BDSM genre. I look forward to
reading future stories from Ms. Ashbury."
Tallyn Porter, Just Erotic Romance
4 Cups:
"Ms. Ashbury has written a wonderful adult
fairy tale. The storyline is smooth and
believable. The characters worked well
together and make a wonderful couple.
Trust is an issue and Beau and Isadora
have that and offer much more. Beau and
the Lady Beast is as entertaining as
it is sexy." Matilda, Coffee Time
4 Stars:
"In Beau and the Lady Beast by
Morgan Ashbury, Beau and Isadora are in
love with each other but they don't know
it. This erotic fairy tale is a delight to
read and a well written story with plenty
of scorching sex scenes."
Racine, Ecataromance
4 Harps:
"This delightful novella is a scorching
erotica showing the true deeper side of
BDSM. Emotionally endearing characters
will touch your heart, leaving you
breathless. I thoroughly enjoined this
novella. Morgan Ashbury brought all the
elements together beautifully."
Tehya, Rites of Romance Reviews
"As a child, I was never a big fan of
the beauty and the beast fairytale I
thought the dad was a weak toad - but I
digress. There are no toad-like characters
in Beau and the Lady Beast. In
fact, Beau is a stone-cold fox. It is
obvious that Beau has deep feelings for
Isadora but since he is playing for keeps,
he has to prove to her that she can count
on him to keep her safe and that her
strength and assertiveness do not turn him
off. Beau and the Lady Beast is
likely to become one of your favorite
bedtime stories." Sharon, Joyfully

flashed her a grin and answered, "Become my hostage for the
next three days. It's a small enough price to pay for
fifteen percent of your company. Let's see…going with the
most conservative estimates, fifteen percent of twenty million
dollars is three million. Divide that by seventy-two hours,
and that's damn near forty-two thousand dollars an hour."

certainly looked stunned when he revealed he'd purchased the
stocks from one of her largest single shareholders. He
understood the step she'd taken more than a decade before
with her ISO had been, in her mind, a necessary evil. He also
knew that ever since, she'd been buying up shares when they
became available. Some had referred to the process as the Lady
Beast's Holy Grail. The fifteen percent he'd just
waved under her nose represented one hell of a big chunk of
her company. Vital to her and valuable to him only because it
gave him what he'd craved for the last year—the chance to
get his hands on Isadora. It didn't matter, her being a
dozen years older than he. He wanted her, and by damn, he was
going to have her.

his part to court her. Better to keep her off balance by way
of an indecent proposal. When she was in his home, when he'd

blindfold was soft, and he had it in place before she could

nothing. Blind and immobilized, she waited, totally at

head fell back, and she heard his chuckle, low and deep, felt
it roll through her belly. She was completely seduced, and if
only he knew it, completely his already. Despite her

Beau Brannigan, as she had trusted no other man. Completely
and absolutely.

her pussy when it struck her again, and then a third time. She
couldn't believe how the light pain increased her arousal. A

Fourth-Place Finish Enough for Tech to Advance to NCAA Championship
Yellow Jackets qualify for nationals behind Bo Andrews' closing 68 at Tallahassee Regional
May 18, 2013
Tech Results | Complete Tallahassee Regional Results | Photo Gallery
Tallahassee, Fla. - Bo Andrews played flawlessly over the final 16 holes and shot a 4-under-par 68 Saturday, lifting 7th-ranked Georgia Tech to a 3-under-par final round of 285 and a fourth-place finish in the NCAA Tallahassee Regional. The Yellow Jackets have advanced to play in the NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championship beginning May 28.
No. 19 North Florida, which shot 7-under-par 281 Saturday, No. 6 Washington 6-under 282) and No. 14 Florida State (5-under 283) held true to form Saturday with good rounds and finished 1-2-3. The Ospreys finished 54 holes at 34-under 830, to win the regional by three shots over the Huskies (833, -31) and by six over the host Seminoles (836, -28).
Tech, which was 7-under for its round and 19-under for the tournament at one point Saturday, had some hiccups on the final three holes and finished at 15-under 849.
Oklahoma won a playoff over South Florida for the final qualifying spot after the Bulls played the par-5 final hole four shots under par to tie the Sooners. Oregon State, which shot the best round of the day at 10-under 278, finished one shot out of the playoff.
The top five teams from each of the six regional tournaments being held around the country this weekend will make up the 30-team field for the NCAA Championship, which will be held May 28-June 2 at the Capital City Club's Crabapple Course in Milton, Ga.
"We're thrilled," said Tech coach Bruce Heppler. "This was a pressure-packed week for us and a pressure-packed round today. Under the circumstances, this might be the best round we've ever played. Bo played a stud round today, and I couldn't be more proud of him."
Anders Albertson shot a 71, Ollie Schniederjans a 72 and Shun Yat Hak a 74 Saturday to count for the Yellow Jackets, who advanced through an NCAA regional for the 23rd time in 25 tries and will make their 26th appearance in the NCAA finals. All but one of those have occurred since 1985.
Tech began the day in a fifth place tie with South Florida, with Oklahoma just one stroke back. The Yellow Jackets struggled to make a move until the back nine, where they opened up a six-shot cushion on the Sooners while the Bulls slid backward on the leaderboard. Oregon, in fourth place at the outset, shot 6-over-par and dropped out of contention.
The Jackets made things interesting, however, as Hak triple-bogeyed the last hole, and Schniederjans and Albertson both double-bogeyed the par-4 16th. Just like that, Tech's cushion was down to two shots, but Andrews, Schniederjans and Albertson each recorded birdies at 18, and the Jackets could breathe again.
Andrews, who won the Gary Koch Invitational in April for his first career victory, bogeyed the second hole, then posted five birdies and 11 pars on the final 16 holes. He tied for 14th place individually at 6-under-par 210 to record his fourth top-20 finish this year. Albertson tied for 10th at 7-under 209, his fifth top-10 finish, while. Schniederjans secured his eighth top-20 finish, tying for 19th place at 4-under 212.
Washington's Cheng-Tsung Pan ran away with medalist honors, carding a 5-under 67 Saturday for a 54-hole total of 201 (-15). He was three shots clear of North Florida's MJ Maguire, the 18- and 36-hole leader, FSU's Chase Seiffert and Richmond's Daniel Walker, who each finished at 12-under 204. Walker shot a 4-under 68 Saturday to help him secure low individual honors and advance to the NCAA finals.

I just bought a Lexmark Interpret S408 all-in-one printer. The box said that it supported Ubuntu 8.04, but I told myself it should work with Lucid... well no. The only driver I have found is for i386 while I have a amd64 image installed; the architecture is incompatible.
So, the quesiton is :
Is it possible to install that driver anyway, somehow? Or do I need to take that printer back to the store and buy another one? If the latter is the only alternative, I need a printer that
- has wireless connection capability
- can do color printing
- is of good price (less than $200 CAD)
Thank you for your answers, help, and tips.
The driver was given in the form of deb package (for Debian distributions) and I managed to extract the actual deb package driver out of the install program. I ran
sudo dpkg -i --force-all lexmark-inkjet-09-driver-1.5-1.i386.deb
and the driver installed, and I was able to print something out. But that pretty much ends there; I cannot access anymore of the printer settings, etc. (i.g. scanner, fax, wifi settings, etc.) I should suffice for now as I'm satisfied with the printer's features (and size, and prince), but if I could have a full-linux-supported printer like that one, I would return this one in exchange for the other.

Ryan Feero
Ryan Feero
Fort Smith, Arkansas
For Ryan Feero, choosing JBU was an easy decision. "Living in Fort Smith, I was very familiar with their Degree Completion Program because of several success stories from personal friends," he said. "So, after I got married in December 2010, I decided it was time to take control of my career path and complete my bachelor's degree."
Feero completed an information request on the JBU website and was contacted by an admissions counselor. "After meeting with him, I was shocked that I could transfer up to 30 hours of credit by examination to JBU," he said. "That truly sets JBU apart from other degree completion programs."
Feero appreciated the personal service he received throughout the enrollment process. "JBU clearly cared more about helping me complete my degree and was not merely shoving me in a classroom and taking my money," he said. "My admissions counselor would contact me regularly to encourage me to continue working to gain all my requirements for enrollment. I still can't believe JBU cared so much about my success before I was even a student! Choosing JBU as my university was easy, because the level of attention paid to each individual student is unmatched."
Last fall, Feero became one of the first students in JBU's new online Business Administration program. The ability to complete his coursework online coupled with the opportunity for faster completion made it the ideal choice for him. "When looking at other degree completion options, I was told it would either take too long to get my degree or that the study would be too intensive," he said. "That's when I found out about JBU's new online BSBA program, which consists of eight-week courses that are all online. It suits me perfectly. "The online eight-week course structure allows me to learn, study, and complete assignments while working full-time and being a newlywed husband," Feero said.
Feero truly loves being an online student. "One might think that an online course is inferior to a traditional classroom structure, but nothing could be further from the truth," he said. "I have always struggled with taking notes, remembering what a professor said, or effectively managing assignment due dates. With JBU's online BSBA program, I have everything available on BlackBoard that I can access from any computer with an Internet connection. This means I can pause or rewind a lecture, re-read exactly what the professor said in an email or assignment post, and I can even join a live or recorded class session at my own convenience. JBU provides the latest technology in online classroom tools and gives you access to their help desk for any problems you might encounter."
And while some fear that online students have less interaction with faculty and other students than their counterparts in a traditional classroom, Feero hasn't found that to be the case. "I have actually built deeper relationships with my professors and fellow students in the online classroom than I ever have sitting in a desk two or three times a week," he said.
Most importantly, Feero feels that the BSBA program is preparing him for his future career. "It is truly an unabridged and comprehensive study of all things business," he said. "Since my first day, I have felt like the online BSBA program is preparing me to be an effective business leader and contributor in my community."

The American alt-rock band will make their India debut this month to celebrate The Northeast Today magazine's sixth anniversary.
The Polo Ground in Shillong is set to host American alternative rock band Hoobastank on June 29. The gig is part of The Northeast Today's sixth anniversary celebrations and the magazine has decided to name the tour, "The Reason Is Shillong" (stop giggling). If you had a passing interest in alternative-rock in the early 2000s, then you've probably come across Hoobastank's 'The Reason', which rose to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2004 and did very well in countries such as Germany, Sweden and Australia while sitting on top of the charts in Canada for a then-record 21 weeks. They never hit the heights of The Reason again and over the last decade have released three more albums, Every Man For Himself (2006), Fornever (2008) and Fight or Flight (2011). While they've been a big-in-Japan sort of band for the last few years, it is safe to say that Hoobastank will be well received in Shillong, but you've gotta wonder why they aren't coming to other cities to play for their fans?
Just picture it now, hundreds of couples hanging around the front of a packed Hoobastank gig in Bangalore or Delhi and when frontman Doug Robb finally sings 'The Reason', boyfriends can look into the eyes of their significant other and profess their undying love for them in song, because there is not better medium to profess undying love than song. However, Hoobastank have made their choice and well… the reason is Shillong. Details about the "tour" are rather thin on the ground so far with tickets available at "various outlets" for Rs 500. Check out the tour poster below.
'The Reason is Shillong' tour will take place at 5th Field Polo Ground in Shillong from 1 pm onwards on June 29. Tickets are for Rs 500 and are available at "various outlets". More when we hear it.

Facial Hair: 5 Cool Styles For 2005
Page 1 of 2The great thing about facial hair is that you can never go wrong with changing your style. As one of your most natural accessories, you can try different looks, no risk, no harm. But it takes more than inspiration to change your look — you need to make sure your facial hair (or lack thereof) is appropriate for your line of work and your image.
the facial hair update
The Depp detourYou might get annoyed with Johnny Depp's bohemian look and method acting technique, but you have to admit that he boasts his own style — and that's pretty admirable. In addition to his shaggy hair and mismatched clothing, Depp's quasi-goatee has become part of his trademark. Although simple goatees are out, a thin mustache along with a small patch of hair underneath the bottom lip and another patch of hair on the chin (none of which are attached) can help add some edge to your style. This can work with or without a handlebar-like mustache. From simple sideburns to another updated goatee, these are the facial hair styles to try out...

Dear Friend of Liberty:
You may remember all the work we did last December to try to stop the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act because of provisions it contained which allowed for the indefinite detention of US citizens by the military in violation of due process and posse comitatus. Supporters of that act tried to hide the offending parts of the bill by changing the section numbers and they denied the intent and the significance of the wording of the problem sections, and they managed to pass it through the House and Senate despite the heroic efforts of leaders like Rep. Justin Amash and Sen. Rand Paul.
Today we have a rare second chance to fix that mistake.
The proof that we were right about the NDAA became conclusive this week. The Federal District Court in New York granted a temporary injunction against the use of the provisions in the bill which allow for indefinite military detention. Apparently the legal experts on the federal bench read the language the same way that we and dozens of pro-liberty groups did. The problem is that the injunction is only temporary.
The permanent solution to this problem is the Smith-Amash amendment (HR4192) which is being debated in the House right now. It will remove the sections from the bill which allow indefinite military detention of our citizens and guarantee the right to a trial and due process. It's buried among other amendments to the NDAA, some of which make a pretense of fixing this problem, but none of them actually remove military detention from the bill except the Smith-Amash amendment.
The challenge here is that the vote on the Smith-Amash amendment will take place some time Friday, so we need to take action right now. Use our tool to email your Congressman and tell them you want them to stand up for liberty and the Constitution and pass the only amendment which genuinely fixes the problems with the NDAA. No later than Friday morning, please come to our site and use our handy tool to email your Congressman and urge them to support the Smith-Amash bill.
For liberty in our times,
Dave Nalle
National Chairman
Republican Liberty Caucus

1. Program need/rationale framed by the institution's mission and strategic goals.
For over a century,
Since 2004, CCA has been guided by its strategic plan ("Leadership in Arts Education, 2004-2009"), which identifies the College's three central goals going forward as 1) enhancing national visibility through academic excellence, 2) maintaining a sustainable business model, and 3) strengthening internal and external community relations. The MBA program supports all three strategic goals by positioning CCA as the national leader in fusing design and business into a single MBA program. The program also allows the college to increase enrollment commensurate with the plan's growth strategies. Additionally, the program further extends CCA's presence into the business community, thereby offering new possibilities for both external support (Goal 2) and relations with the college (Goal 3).
Four years ago, CCA's Strategic Plan (2004-9) took careful note of the rising importance of design, stipulating that the College seek ways to provide leadership in this area:
In recent years, design has become a field of intense concern among an increasingly broad sector of the public. Quality design and concerns about design aesthetics are now part of popular culture, and there is widespread recognition of the problem-solving capacities of designers and artists. At CCA these capacities can be deepened and sharpened, and designers and artists can work together in intense, productive collaborations. (SP 5)
This innovative, interdisciplinary MBA program is thus a logical extension of CCA's strategic mission, enabling the college to capitalize on its reputation in the design field, to fully utilize its institutional capacities, and to facilitate the emergence of design solutions into the business community.
Over the past decade, there has been a growing awareness of, appreciation for, and perceived need for design within the business community. While design has always been a component of product development, it is now being seen as a strategic focus of business growth and a powerful avenue toward true innovation. Innovation and design are now commonly discussed together in both the design and business press; BusinessWeek now includes an entire section on innovation and design (http://www.businessweek.com/innovate/), and a
In 2006, CCA recognized the opportunity to recast the business world's growing interest in "innovation" and "design" in broader terms understandable to business people. From the beginning, faculty, administrators, trustees, and alumni recognized the opportunity for CCA to offer something of real value to both our students and the business community by developing a program that committed to integrating design practices at every level of a traditional business degree. Because of this commitment, the importance of differentiating this degree from the College's MFA Design program—with is concentrations in communication design, industrial design, and interaction design—became obvious.
2. Process and results used to establish the need - Please provide a summary of the findings, not the full study.
To assess the need for such a program, senior administrators held a series of conversations with deans and directors of various institutions in the relevant fields to discuss the program concept and ascertain its feasibility.
CCA then conducted several summit discussions with design and business leaders throughout 2006 and 2007. We also polled practicing designers and CCA alumni with a targeted survey. In it, we discovered that:
Thus, CCA is in a remarkable position. The San Francisco Bay Area is, at once, one of the richest design locations in the world, one of the most prolific innovation centers, and the center of the world for start-up culture, finance, and expertise. In addition, the area's academic and industrial infrastructure is uniquely supportive of new approaches, new solutions, and new processes for innovation. This has allowed our program to harness leading designers and business people to create and manage an integrated approach to design-led innovation in a setting where it is valued. In addition, the opportunities for students to intern and, eventually, find jobs among like-minded professionals that value their training and experience is unprecedented.
3. Evidence used to support enrollment projections and to support the conclusion that interest in the program is sufficient to sustain it at expected levels - If the program is planned to be offered for a finite period, provide the enrollment data for the length of the program. If the program is planned to be offered continuously, then provide enrollment projections for the first three years. These enrollment projections should be reflected in the budget.
The results of our market research showed considerable interest and we specifically tailored our degree program to the expectation of both industry experts (potential employers) and prospective students. The start-up budget allocated to the program ($100,000 grant from a supporter of the college) made it possible to develop the program and launch in September 2007. In the four months following the launch of recruitment information for the program, the College received over 280 inquires from prospective students, including 85 attendees at the program's Information Night in early December—the most any of our programs have ever received (by some margin).
To date this year, CCA has received 90 applications to the program, 38 of which have been accepted. The program plans to enroll no more than 30 students in any cohort and, this year's acceptance yield has been over 80%. The program continues to receive applications and enquiries, and projections are for a threefold increase in applications for Fall 2009 enrollment.
The college's graduate programs have a 95% overall retention rate.
4. Attach the recruitment and/or marketing plan for the program.
CCA's marketing and recruitment plan for the Design Strategy MBA echoes the college's own strategic plan by promoting national and international visibility for the program as a leader in this nascent field. To these ends, the program has launched its website, which now provides information about the curriculum, philosophy, and student profile. The site also links to the program's blog, providing updates on the field and outreach to other media, while soliciting input from companies and other organizational partners as well as faculty. The goal with the program's online presence is to position CCA as a nexus of the conversation around this emerging field.
Additional publicity strategies include collaborating with the college's communications department in creating opportunities for editorial articles--instead of advertising--to reach mindful readers with accurate information. These will appear in influential design and business magazines, journals, and blogs. For example, the field's preeminent directory is BusinessWeek's annual guide to design and business programs, which announced CCA's MBA last year and will list it in the upcoming edition. In addition, the program has been mentioned in numerous blog posts, both professional and personal, as well as in interviews with prominent academics: see http://studioforbes.typepad.com/blog/2008/01/the-elections-a.html.
The Design Strategy MBA will also rely on its active advisory board to help shepherd the program, facilitate partnerships with companies and other organizations, and potentially aide the development of scholarships and endowments through its extensive networks in relevant fields. Additionally, the program will be promoted by representatives at the annual and educational conferences of the following industry organizations: AIGA (the professional association for design), IDSA (The Industrial Designers Society of America); DMI (Design Management Institute), and TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design). Finally, the program will host monthly student open houses for prospective students.
1. Description of the planning and approval process within the institution, indicating how faculty and other groups (administrators, trustees, stakeholders, etc.) were involved in the review and approval of the new program.
Initial conversations took place in Spring 2006 among President Michael Roth, Provost Stephen Beal, and then Dean of Graduate Studies Lawrence Rinder concerning the development of what was to become the MBA in Design Strategy. These conversations were inspired in part by the College's recent experience in expanding CCA's successful MFA program in Design. During the course of researching advances in the design field, this group determined that one of the most significant emerging developments in the field involved the intersection of design and management.
At this point, CCA was fortunate to have advisors in this field and a culture of critique on which to build such an innovative program. One such advisor is board member Tim Brown, who is CEO of IDEO, a leading international firm specializing in this area. With Mr. Brown's assistance, the college was able to draw on its distinctive culture and tradition to introduce a program that would benefit the fields of design and business.
More specifically, CCA's educational model relies heavily on continual, individualized assessment through critique, a methodology embedded in the proposed curriculum of the MBA in Design Strategy. CCA's Design programs are also known for their faculty's mastery of user-centered research and iterative creativity. While the College will be expanding its offerings in accounting and related practices in order to serve the new program, we have a strong track-record in coursework serving professional development learning outcomes including ethics and entrepreneurship.
This allowed the college to proceeded to the next phase in program planning, hiring Nathan Shedroff as a consultant to conduct market research, build community in this area, and develop a curriculum. He also met periodically with the Academic Committee of the Board of Trustees to apprise them of developments. Mr. Shedroff is an Experience Strategist, CCA faculty member in Industrial Design, and holds an MBA from
Among the numerous meetings that were conducted to gather information and build community support was a Design Summit, held on
This group considered the potential audience, structure, and size of the proposed program as well as whether to collaborate with an existing MBA program or launch a new, freestanding program. Given the unique approach being considered, that is, a pedagogical structure based on design methodology (critique, iteration, and user-centered research), the consensus was that CCA could best build on its own strengths and capacities by moving forward on its own. The group also determined that CCA would not pursue Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accreditation.
Progress on Professor Shedroff's research and development was presented to the Academic Committee of the Board of Trustees on several occasions. Additionally, the Curriculum Committee of the Faculty Senate enthusiastically approved of the proposed program. In June 2007, following this internal approval process, Professor Shedroff was hired to chair the nascent program. He immediately formed a standing advisory board to help guide and review ongoing decisions about the program's curriculum and organization. This group meets approximately twice each year and its members are in frequent contact with the Chair.

Inside the Pages of March-April
February 28, 2012
The latest issue of America's Horse has some people in it you'll want to meet.
Here at AQHA, we're gearing up for the Road to the Horse colt-starting championship, March 9-11. As sponsors of the remuda, we'll have a booth there, and Quarter Horse Outfitters will be selling logoed merchandise to the throngs — and I do mean throngs — that will be crusing the concourse during breaks in the action. I'll be there covering the event, so look for regular updates on Facebook and Twitter, as well as here on America's Horse Daily and in the print magazine.
One of the things I'm most looking forward to is meeting our March-April cover boy, Caton Parelli, in person. He'll be there with his dad, Pat, who's a competitor on the U.S. team with Craig Cameron, vying against teams from Australia and Canada. As a demonstration, Caton and Pat will perform together in a father-and-son reining pattern.
In doing the America's Horse story on Caton, I just spoke with him on the phone. He was actually working one of his horses when I called, and his dad simply handed the phone to him on horseback. When we got through talking, I understood completely why so many of his fellow horse-show competitors have adopted him as family. He loves to talk about his Ford truck and his American Quarter Horses, not necessarily in that order, and he's passionate about competing and breeding better horses. It'll be fun to talk more in person.
Despite an early fight against hydrocephalus, or water on the brain, and other health issues, Caton, now 28, is horseback constantly and credits riding with helping him in so many areas of life. He shows successfully in reining, cutting, reined cow horse and ranch horse competitions.
More from the March-April issue:
- America's Horse introduces readers to outgoing AQHA president Peter J. Cofrancesco III. Peter was born and raised for the first years of his life in the industrial city of Paterson, New Jersey, but he and his family made horses an integral part of their lives – proof that the strong gravitational pull of the horse world can be felt from just about anywhere. Peter became the first president of the American Junior Quarter Horse Association (now AQHYA) to become president of AQHA.
- Meet "Outlaw Annie" Bianco-Ellett, queen of the cowboy mounted shooting world. Her American Quarter Horse stallion, El Costa Prom, was a sensation in the sport, and now he's the patriarch of a line of horses bred specifically to compete in mounted shooting.

ORONO, Maine -- The University of Maine baseball team dropped a pair of games to Hartford on Sunday afternoon at Mahaney Diamond in Orono. The Black Bears fell 6-4 in the first game in 11 innings and dropped the nightcap 2-1.
The first game featured a battle of two of the league's top pitchers in Maine's Tommy Lawrence (West Haven, Conn.) and Hartford's Sean Newcomb, who entered the game having not allowed an earned run on the season.
Maine jumped out to an early 1-0 lead after one inning of action. Troy Black (Mississauga, Ontario) singled to center field, moved to second when Scott Heath (Westbrook, Maine) walked and then stole third. He scored when Alex Calbick (Burnaby, British Columbia) reached on a fielder's choice.
Hartford took the lead with four runs in the top of the fourth inning. Brady Sheetz, Ryan Lukach and James Alfonso all drew walks to load the bases. Sheetz tied the game at 1-1 when Joe Roberti drew a bases loaded walk. Aaron Wilson singled to first and Lukach scored. Alfonso and Roberti each scored when Dalton Ruch singled to second.
Maine tied the game with three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning. Heath led off the inning with a single to right field. Calbick followed with a single and Brian Doran (Ayr, Ontario) drew a walk to load the bases with nobody out. Heath scored when Jake Osborne (Burlington, Ontario) grounded out. Calbick and Doran both crossed home plate when when Jonathan Salcedo (Providence, R.I.) singled to left field.
The game remained tied until the 11th inning. Roberti walked and Brian Estevez reached on a fielder's choice. Roberti advanced to second on the play. Both runners advanced a base on a sacrifice bunt by Ruch. Roberti scored when Trey Stover reached on a fielder's choice. Estevez scored the second run of the inning when Adam Touhey reached on a fielder's choice.
Maine threatened with a pair of runners in the bottom of the 11th, but was unable to tie the game.
Maine's Tommy Lawrence went nine innings, but did not figure into the decision. He allowed four runs on five hits while striking out nine. Charlie Butler (Marlborough, Mass.) replaced Lawrence on the mound. He allowed two runs on one hit over two innings to suffer the loss. He falls to 1-3 on the season.
Sean Newcomb went 6.1 innings and allowed four runs on six hits while striking out eight. The earned runs are the first that Newcomb has allowed on the season. He was replaced by Kyle Gauthier who went 3.2 innings to earn the win. He improves to 3-0. Alex Gouin recorded his sixth save of the season, closing out the game in the bottom of the 11th inning.
In the second game, all the scoring happened in the first inning. Stover led off the game with a single to center field and advanced to second on a sacrifice. Sheetz followed and drew a walk. Stover scored the first run of the game when Lukach singled. Sheetz scored the second run on a sacrifice fly by James Alfonso.
Maine answered with a run in the bottom of the frame. Sam Balzano (Portland, Maine) walked and advanced to third on a failed pick-off attempt. He scored when Colin Gay (Franklin, Mass.) grounded out. Neither team was able to push another run across the rest of the seven inning game.
Shaun Coughlin (Northford, Conn.) went seven innings on the mound for the Black Bears and allowed just two runs on five hits. He struck out three. He falls to 2-3 on the season. Brian Hunter went seven innings for Hartford and allowed one run on just one hit. He struck out three batters as well and improves to 1-5.
Maine falls to 9-18 on the season and 1-4 in America East play. Hartford improves to 15-10 on the season and 5-2 in conference action.
The two teams wrap up their three-game America East series with a single game on Monday, April 7. First pitch is scheduled for 3 PM at Mahaney Diamond.

RI Company to Provide Free Holiday Meals for 2,000 Rhode Islanders
Thursday, December 12, 2013
In addition to a full-course holiday meal, there will be holiday music, gift bags with toiletries, snacks, toys for children, a coffee station with free thermoses, cookies, a flu shot clinic and a blood pressure station administered by the Rhode Island Department of Health.
As was true in years past, individuals will be bused in from state facilities such as Amos House, McAuley House, Crossroads Rhode Island and Operation Stand Down—all of which provide shelter to Rhode Island's homeless population.
"Many Rhode Island families are struggling to keep a roof over their heads or put food on the table each night," said Richard Santilli, CFO at Priority Management Group. "Each year we have easily surpassed our goal; proving that the need is very real. With the help of hundreds of volunteers and local support, we want to expand our reach and feed 2,000."
Feed 1,000 is the brainchild of Rhode Island business partners Robert Skeffington and Rich Santilli. In 2011, Santilli and Skeffington, the owners of PMG and founders of PMG Charities decided to forego its annual Christmas party and instead provided a festive Holiday meal for more than 1,200 Rhode Islanders in need. Last year, the number of individuals served increased to 1,800. Now in its third year, organizers are expecting to serve 2,000 needy Rhode Islanders on Saturday.
A Model for the Nation
So what does the future hold for Feed 1,000? For Santilli, the sky's the limit. "Our hope is that word gets out about what we're doing in Rhode Island and that other states follow the example that we've set," Santilli told GoLocal. "Ultimately we would like to have a coalition of states championing our cause and even have an annual 'Feed 1,000 Day' across the United States."
How to Get Involved
If you are interested in volunteering your time, either prior to the event or the day of the event, sign up at www.feed1000.org. Volunteer duties include but are not limited to greeting guests, seating guests, managing the toy section, managing the coat section as well as serving food. Assignments will be issued at check in on the day of the event.
Event organizers are still looking for donations—including warm jackets, hats, gloves, baby diapers, and toiletries such as baby wipes, toilet paper, toothpaste, toothbrushes and paper towels. If you are unable to provide any of these items but would still like to help out, cash contributions are welcome.
More information about this effort can be found at www.feed1000.org or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/Feed1000.

A blog I recently set up makes plenty of use of custom post types and custom taxonomies.
In the reading settings the blog posts to show is at 100 but I can find no where to tell taxonomy pages to show 100 posts and they are stuck at 10.
How do I change it without messing around with custom

During the 1890's, McKees Rocks Hospital was established in Norwood by Dr. Samuel McCune Black. The once private-hospital was chartered in 1906 as the non-profit Ohio Valley General Hospital. Because the hospital's 30 beds were usually were filled to capacity, a new wing was added in 1909.
In 1930, the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth, with a long tradition of healthcare ministry, took over management of the hospital. The institution remained a non-sectarian, community hospital. As time passed, as many as 83 patients were crowded into a facility designed for 60 beds. It was clear even more space was needed.
Knowing this, the wife of skilled physician Edward B. Heckel made acreage available to the hospital, in his honor, for a nominal price. The space was just two miles from the original site in Kennedy Township. In December of 1947, the cornerstone for the new foundation was laid. The new building opened in the spring of 1949, on what is now known as Heckel Road.
Meanwhile, the School of Nursing graduated its first student in 1904 (head here for the full account of her ceremony). When the hospital upgraded to a larger space, the school as able to do so as well. Originally accommodating 65 students, the building constructed in 1956. The school became fully accredited in 1959. In 1963, the hospital began a School of Radiologic Technology. A newspaper account of their first capping exercise in 1964 can be found here. The school celebrated it's 50th commencement in 2015.
In 1968 the OVGH campus saw even more changes. The School of Nursing was remodeled, and a three story addition to the Hospital was made. This enlarged the Emergency and Outpatient facilities, provided new offices for physicians and administrators and added new Laboratory and Radiology facilities.
The Medical Office Building was opened in May, 1988. Improvements to the facility and critical upgrades continue to this day. Renovation of the nursing units has also been ongoing.
Recent expansion includes the Residence at Willow Lane, a contemporary assisted living community, and the construction of Willow Heights, an independent living facility.
In 2014, the name of Ohio Valley General Hospital again changed: this time to Ohio Valley Hospital. With the name change, the hospital has been able to introduce a new modern look to support our state-of-the-art medical technology, first-rate medical staff, and dedicated employees, while maintaining a convenient, personal, and close-to-home experience for every patient. Now as "Ohio Valley Hospital," we celebrate our independence as a community hospital, and reassure our patients, friends, and neighbors that we are close to you. Just like family.

Whenever I'm not using it
Only in winter
Yeah, it's the off-season.
I do not. But I also keep mine in the garage and just move it to the back patio whenever I wanna use it.
Yep. Sometimes when I'm feeling risky I'll leave it uncovered one night. I normally grill most days so I'm used to covering at night.
No I don't but I don't have an expensive grill.....
I have a Weber Performer, and if it's not heated up, it's covered up.
