A lot of ingredients can go into opening a restaurant: months of hard work, cashed-in savings accounts, design plan updates, unexpected renovations, a big push from an Internet funding platform.
Well, actually, not all would-be restaurateurs tie their dreams to a Web-based fundraising tool, but wife-and-husband duo Silvia and Cory McCollow were able to open Nido near Oakland's Jack London Square after raising more than $16,000 on Kickstarter.
Despite its digital age beginnings, Nido has ties to the past. It's a "farm-to-table" Mexican restaurant with many recipes that stem from chef Silvia McCollow's family, whose roots are in the coastal Mexican state of Nayarit, northwest of Mexico City.
One of the family recipes on the ever-changing menu is the Ceviche Crudo ($12), a starter of wild-caught shrimp and fish lightly marinated in aguachile and served with tostaditas de casa. The spicy and citrus flavors explode and leave you with one wish: more fish. This is ceviche done right.
Another family dish is the Chile Relleno, a lighter version than what most diners are conditioned to expect. It's prepared with an Oaxacan cheese blend with potato and is served in warm tomato broth. At $9 for dinner, it's one of the best deals on the menu.
Silvia McCollow's kitchen competence doesn't just come from her family. She worked at Old Oakland spots Cosecha and the now-shuttered B Restaurant, and she trained at -- perhaps you've heard of it -- Chez Panisse in Berkeley. She and Cory opened Nido in October after moving from San Antonio when the Coast Guard transferred him. He's still an active-duty officer when he's not orchestrating Nido's bar program and running the business side of the restaurant.
At the bar, you'll have your pick of about 10 tequilas, mezcals and -- breaking from the south-of-the-border theme -- whiskeys. For cervezas, such Oakland breweries as Linden Street and Dying Vines are represented alongside a rotating Mexican draft beer (all $5). The house cocktails ($8 to $10) are spins on classics and include three margaritas, with the Margarita la Maxima a standout. During a recent weekend brunch, a Bloody Maria special ($9) with Milagro tequila spiced up the midmorning and paired surprisingly well with beef Chilaquiles al Horno ($13), topped with red sauce, crema fresca and queso Cotija.
Nido means "nest" in Spanish, and the restaurant's interior nods to this theme without overdoing it. It's a tidy, minimalist design with concrete walls, bird cage light fixtures, potted aloe and other succulents, and shipping container sides hanging like blue-collar-tough art pieces. The space is comfortable, but the lack of sound-deadening materials means it can get loud on busy nights.
But it's the lively platos de cena, or main entrees, that really make the noise at Nido. The care of the kitchen is apparent in such dishes as Pollo Sobado ($16): roasted chicken with a smoky chipotle rub, mashed sweet potatoes, Mexican cinnamon glaze and cilantro oil. This isn't a standard Mexican plate of spicy chicken "diablo" with no depth; it's a complex dish with layers of flavor.
Less complex but just as satisfying is the Ollita de Pobre ($14), a "poor man's pot" filled with avocado, pico, house salsa, beans and soft and plump Spanish rice made with organic carrots from Catalan Family Farms in Hollister. The pot, which is almost always on the menu, comes with house-made corn tortillas and a daily protein; try the carnitas if they're making it.
Service questions
With entrees this good, you want to love everything about Nido. Regrettably, on a recent busy evening, the service was, to be gentle, uneven. The server stumbled over explanations, forgot an appetizer, then had it brought by runners at the same time as the entrees without warning the diners or the runners. Her solution? Throw down a second plate of the appetizer without asking. Also, the check was tossed on the table without a "thank you," "goodbye" or "adios." A shame after such pleasing food.
On a lunch visit a week later, the service was spot-on. A dad at a neighboring table got up to walk his wailing baby outside. The server immediately asked if he could keep the dad's plate warm and put his beer on ice. A simple and sensitive move, one that we hope is indicative of the service at Nido on most nights.
Service aside, the delicious, tell-your-friends food doesn't stop at dinner. Jaynelle St. Jean's PieTisserie is set up in a corner near Nido's kitchen, with a window opening to the street where the baker sells her "random acts of sweetness." Usually, pieces of pie are available at your table after dinner. But if you try a piece for dessert, you'll probably end up taking more than a few pieces home.
Tempting flavors
How do these sound? Chocolate cream pretzel, with scratch-made bittersweet chocolate cream over a pretzel crust, and the Nido pie, a layered key lime pie with fresh-pressed magenta prickly pear atop a graham-cracker crust. Be careful letting those cool by the window; they might disappear.
The McCollows were inspired to bring in the pie shop when they took a trip to Mexico City and visited a restaurant that had three businesses under one roof: a bar, bakery and deli.
They thought a place where patrons and food professionals could come together in an inviting space with family-influenced tastes was a recipe for success. In a way, they wanted a nest. In Nido, they have one.

This post has nothing to do with cooking.� It might embarrass me.� It might make my son angry.�� It�s about emotions of motherhood.� The thoughts may not be written eloquently, but here it is.
I�ve loved few men with enduring love. �In order of age: Dad, or Gramps as he was called toward the end of his life. An uncle, a World War II hero. My brother. My husband. My son.
I�ve loved a few cities, too.� Florence. Dublin. New York.� None as much as Boston.� The flavor of the Italian North End, the spirit of new Seaport, the pre-Revolution cobblestones streets, the docks where fisherman sell their catch, the Haymarket, the stately Back Bay, even the dirty water of the Charles River.
As Big Papi said this week, �This is our f—-king city!�
So this post is my tribute to him and another very public guy who used that word.� I�ve never met David Ortiz, although I�ve been in the stands for a few clutch hits.� I met Joe Biden once.� Both men have salty language in common, but that�s not why I love them.
I love them because of my son.� As a teenager, he was diagnosed with cancer; we needed to make an immediate decision about surgery.� In shock, he turned to me and asked for an Ortiz jersey.� I left my husband to do battle with the insurance and health care establishments, and headed to Yawkey Way beside Fenway Park, not far from the hospital. The first shop was sold out.� In tears, I wandered next door and spotted a red #34 jersey on display near the ceiling.� Thinking they were also sold out, I asked to buy the that one.� The salesperson opened a drawer, and took out the last Ortiz jersey in stock while I once again burst into tears.� My son wore the jersey for good luck.� But, more surgeries and more treatments lay ahead.
Enter Joe Biden.� Over the previous summer my son impressed someone in his volunteer work and found himself working directly with Joe Biden for a few days.� The Vice-President reminds most Americans of their own Uncle Joe, the gregarious one who tells long stories at Thanksgiving dinner.� Thinking about the stories later on, you realize that each had a point, a lesson to be learned.
The night before my son�s second surgery, his cell phone rang.� It was Joe Biden. They talked for a long time.� Biden told him a heartfelt personal story.� The story was long.� It had a point.� My son got it.� The next morning, he went into surgery confidently.
So when David Ortiz (at Fenway last week) and Joe Biden (at the health care act signing) emphasize a point with a word not often used in polite company, I applauded them! At that particular moment, it seemed right. It displayed overwhelmingly immediate and enormous emotion, one that required operatic expression. No substitutions.
My son is f–king cancer-free!

I am the team captain of my junior high basketball team. We are 4-1 in conference and the district tournament is two games away. We definitely need to win these next two games but a couple of my players think they don't need to come to practice or as soon as the game starts they get into the wrong mindset. One of our guards goes straight into anger-mode as soon as he does one thing wrong, and no offense to him, but he does a lot of things wrong just from sheer inexperience. And everytime I try and talk to him he starts throwing around expletives and plays worse. And the team's point guard is very athletic and overall a good guard but doesn't have the basketball IQ to handle pressure situations. Any help on how I can settle these guys down to make sure and cinch a good seed in the tournament?
Well first and foremost you have to understand that leadership is one of the most important qualities of this sport. Don't lead verbally, lead by sheer example. Show your teammates and coaches how determined you are to be successful by continuing to attend each practice. That way not only will you gain cognuity with the coaches, but you'll also get a good vibe from the players who actually do attend practice. And by no means is it cool for anyone to think they're above attending practice either. As a player you can only do but so much, but it's more of a coach's responsibility to ensure the players making practices. Before games (preferably pregame warm ups) huddle your team together and try to say a little bit to keep them motivated. Usually telling them to just go out and have fun will do the trick (since it's basically why we all play the game in the first place), so keep it brief but stay positive. During the game make sure to keep communicating with those who are struggling. If they miss a shot it's better to say "you'll hit the next one" than to get on their case about them missing. It's better to keep track of what others are doing well (and reminding them) instead of what they're not doing so well. As far as these "anger-driven" point guards, take into consideration that a point guard's job isn't as easy as it may seem. Alot of people who play (or have played) the position take it upon themselves to feel like they're the "quarterback" or the court general as coaches call it. One mistake is all it takes to wreck someone's confidence, so try to stay optimistic for your team. Remember lead by example, and everything else will fall into play.
CJ makes a great point about leadership - lead by example, not by words.
Your point guard gets upset when you try talking to him because he knows he has messed up and his ego is getting the better of him and that comes from immaturity - which you understand. When I faced a certain situation, I made sure all my interaction with the player was positive.
Positive reinforcement usually works - when he messes up, say something like "next play, forget about that one we'll get it back" slap him on the back and say lets go man, get a steal on defense to make up for it.
We just wrote a good piece on "in-game leadership techniques" here's the link: http://innovativeathletes.tumblr.com/post/341551898/leadership-on-the-court
I hope we have helped, and I think you'll learn some great leadership techniques as you go through this experience - good luck in the tourney.

if you lead by example, it will carry over to your teamates, which will ultimatly make your team better. also, give them a reason to play hard and come to practice every day.
Thanks, I tried that in both of the last two games and won one and lost the other which has us seated 3rd in the tournament. But our trouble doesn't end there. Our head coach quit before our game friday and now we have a teacher with his coaching license filling in. He's doing a great job but he doesn't know the "jive" of our team. He is open to suggestions and that helps, but what should i do to make sure our team makes a deep run in the most meaningful district tournament yet?
Since you are the leader of this team with a fill in coach, its time to take control.
I always think watching and assessing film on other teams will make you win ball games. Think about it, if you understand their plays, signals and tendencies - you can adapt to them. By studying film on opponents you can than go over them in practice and put together a great game plan.
This is what all great players/teams do to get that competitive edge to win, especially in playoff time. I bet they are watching film on your team.
Let your new coach know he needs to find someone to tape your next opponents game and than create a game-plan.

In 1927 Brooklyn, teenagers Carl Brown and Annie McGairy meet and fall in love. Through hardship and poverty, their commitment perseveres, and soon they realize that their greatest sources of strength, loyalty, and love will help them make it through, together. Joy in the Morning is, in the words of Best Sellers, "a human-hearted song of joy" from the immortal Betty Smith.

If you're on a path to healthy eating or would just like a little more variety in your menu planning, you may have thought about stir-fry. The
Circulon 14-in. Nonstick Circulon Elite Stir Fry Pan will help you keep your health in check being able to stir up large pots of veggies without all the oil or butter that you typically need to use.
At 10 inches wide and 3 inches deep, there is space enough to cook a meal for a small family in the pan, getting everyone on a healthier eating track.
Not only is the nonstick surface on the inside of the pan promising, but if you have had a stir-fry pan in the past, you know one of the flaws is the cracking and peeling that happens on the outside of the pan because of the heated surface. Not in this case. The exterior of this pan is guaranteed never to fail. And it's also oven safe, just in case you come up with a creative way to stir-fry in the oven.
Additionally, if you are going to stir fry traditionally, you may want to be able to toss those veggies in the air a time or two. Thankfully, the Calphalon Nonstick Stir Fry Pan has been made with what is called the Cool V handle. Essentially that means it has a great grip and is easy to hold on to for all those food aerial tricks.
What We Like
- Made to Calphalon's professional standards, offering unsurpassed cooking performance, superior construction and lasting durability
- This pan has a great multi-layer nonstick surface called LRS3 (Lifetime Release System) -reinforced for excellent food release and easy cleaning
- Made of heavy gauge aluminum giving you even heat distribution and no hot spots
- It's oven safe to 450° F
- The Stay Cool V stainless handle which stays cool on the stove top and is comfortable to hold.
- It is easy to use and cooks evenly
- It is big enough to create a nice little meal
- It's lightweight and easy to store
What We Don't Like
- If you are planning on feeding a lot of people, you will need more than one pan.
- It would be nice if it came with the lid or even an option to buy a fitting lid so you can keep the steam inside.
Sounds Just Right For My Family – Where Can I Buy the Calphalon Commercial Stir Fry Pan?

STOCKTON — The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office on Thursday arrested Anton Bullock, 23, in connection with a robbery that occurred in November at DeVons Fine Jewelers in Lincoln Center, authorities said.
Bullock was arrested in Richmond, deputies said. Authorities are still seeking a second man wanted in connection with the jewelry heist, officials said. Authorities allege Bullock and another masked man entered the store on Pacific Avenue and Douglas Road just after 12:30 p.m. Nov. 26, used an ax to break display cases and stole jewelry before fleeing in a black Cadillac. Officials said evidence left at the scene tied Bullock to the robbery.

PARKERSBURG - With the gifts unwrapped and holiday parties and dinners finished, today marks another busy day for local businesses, as customers throng to return gifts and look for post-Christmas deals on various products.
Kyle Chester, store manager for the Vienna K-Mart, said the store typically sees a pretty busy time for the first couple of days after Christmas.
K-Mart also has two other local locations, in south Parkersburg and Marietta.
People generally want to return gifts for reasons like wrong sizes, colors, duplicate gifts and others, he said. They usually want to exchange the gifts for money or for similar items in the correct size, for colors more to their taste and for similar reasons.
If the returnee has a receipt for the item - which can be rare in terms of items received as gifts - Chester said they can receive cash back on the returned item. Without receipts, Kmart will exchange item for item or the value will be put on a store gift card, he said.
While the holiday season is a busy time for the store, Chester said the level of staffing will decrease after Christmas. The number of employees throughout the store will decrease to more pre-holiday levels, although the service desk and returns department will continue to have more people since that is where most of the immediate post-holiday activity will be, he said.
In addition to gift returns, Chester said K-mart will also see a lot of traffic after Christmas as people seek after-Christmas sales on a variey of products, especially seasonal items like decorations that see a sharp drop in cost after the holiday. Many people like to take advantage of those sales to get a start on the next holiday season and there is often an increase in the sale of storage items and bins to keep them in at the same time, he said.
Jay Wilson, manager of Kohl's in Parkersburg, said Kohl's has a hassle-free return policy for merchandise returns and exhanges.
Customers returning merchandise with receipts are eligible to receive full refunds or even exchanges, he said. Customers with gift receipts will be granted an even exchange or Kohl's merchandise credit for returned items.
Customers without a receipt will get a merchandise credit good toward anything in the store, Wilson said. If a customer paid with a Kohl's Charge or other credit card, Kohl's can look up the purchase and give a refund or even exchange, he said.
Kohls.com customers have the option to return items to either Kohls.com or at any Kohl's store nationwide. There is also no time limit for returns, Wilson said.
Unless you are interested in finding those post-holiday deals, it may be best not to make returns on the day after Christmas. According to industry experts, the day after Christmas is usually the third-largest shopping day of the year, due to large discounts in most stores and the use of gift cards given as presents the day before.
For simple gift returns, it may be best to wait a few days, since many stores offer up to 30 days or beyond for returns, officials said. Check with the specific stores to find out their policies, since items like electronics may have shorter return windows.
Another tip is to keeping packaged items in their original packaging, since some stores won't accepted merchandise that has been opened for returns.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Friday, March 15, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Almost 200 students found out Friday where they will be heading for their residency. It was Match Day at Georgia Regents, a crazy day filled with costumes and music.
The students may not have looked like doctors on Friday, but underneath their costumes was the 2013 graduating class from Georgia Regents Medical College.
"I think there were a lot of nerves, a lot of excitement, and I think I like the way our school does it because we get to dress up and have a good time with it," said Sagar Patel.
He was a teenage mutant ninja turtle for their "I Love the 90s" themed Match Day, but it's not all fun and games.
"You work four years in medical school and it all comes down to this one day," Patel said.
Despite all the crazy props and costumes, Match Day is a very serious day that determines the future for 190 students.
"This day is the culmination of making this rank list and finding out where you're gonna be for the next part of your life," said Catherine Warner.
They could go anywhere in the country.
"Our medical students are well sought after," said Medical College Dean Peter Buckley. "They will spread across America. We're also happy that many of them will stay here both in Georgia as well as stay here with us."
It's a problem Georgia faces every day. The state ranks 41st in the nation for the amount of physicians per 1,000 people.
"We have a chronic shortage of doctor in Georgia likely to become worse over time," Buckley said.
As doctors we train continue to leave, that problem isn't getting any better. Just 17 percent of this year's graduating class will be staying in the state of Georgia, but Dean Buckley says that statistic doesn't show what will happen after residency.
"Like everything else, it's a balance," he said. "We'll have some people stay, some people leave, but like everything else, the people who leave will likely come back to us again."
Patel is heading to Carolina and then Texas, but like Buckley predicted, says he hopes to one day come back.
"The one thing I've realized is you have no idea what's going to happen in the future," Patel said.
Fifty percent of those who graduate from GRU end up coming back to practice in the state of Georgia. They are working on ways to keep more doctors here through scholarships and more residency slots statewide.

OAKLAND -- If the choice of Sonny Gray to pitch Game 2 of the American League Division Series startled you, it didn't surprise the A's rookie right-hander in the slightest.
"No, it didn't," he said Tuesday after a team workout at the O.co Coliseum. "Did it surprise you?"
That Gray is starting a game against the Detroit Tigers is no surprise, but the fact that he is pitching Saturday at the Coliseum ahead of Jarrod Parker did come out of the blue. Bartolo Colon and Gray get the two games in Oakland; Parker and Dan Straily are scheduled to start Games 3 and 4 in Detroit on Monday and Tuesday.
The Tigers will counter with Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander in Oakland, then they will throw American League ERA champ Anibal Sanchez and Doug Fister in Detroit.
The A's did some last-minute shuffling of their rotation because A.J. Griffin is battling tendinitis in his right arm, it was revealed Tuesday. He isn't on the A's roster and is resting for what he hopes will be a chance to start in the second round of the playoffs.
First the A's have to motor through the lads from the Motor City. Gray, who has 10 major league starts, has never faced the Tigers.
"I'm excited for the chance," he said.
And how about the guy he is facing? Verlander, who beat the A's twice in the ALDS last year, when the Tigers won in five games, is Gray's opponent.
"That'll be cool," Gray said. "He's a good pitcher, and that's a tough matchup."
Gray pitched the A.L. West clincher Sept. 22 in Oakland, and he has much better numbers at home (3-1, 1.99) than on the road (2-2, 3.86).
Manager Bob Melvin didn't cite that as a reason for going with Gray, however.
Melvin likes that Gray is 4-1 with a 2.27 ERA in his past six starts. He likes that Gray doesn't seem to be fazed by anything. And Gray has a great assortment of pitches, starting with his fastball.
Griffin came to the Coliseum on Tuesday believing he would be one of the A's four starters in the ALDS. But his bout with elbow tendinitis has cost him a spot in this round of the playoffs, despite winning four of his past five decisions.
"It was news to me that I wasn't pitching," Griffin said. "They called me in today and told me they were shutting me down. I was planning on pitching whenever they wanted me to pitch, but it's their decision and they've been making good decisions all year."
Colon gives the A's a veteran presence in the rotation that they didn't have last year against the Tigers. He was with the team for most of the 2012 season but was serving part of a 50-game suspension during the postseason for having used performance-enhancing drugs.
"It's really important for me," Colon said through interpreter Ariel Prieto when asked about pitching in this year's playoffs. "I feel so happy. I'll do the best I can for the team."
Colon came back from the suspension to win 18 games and finish second in the league with a 2.65 ERA.
"He gives us a veteran presence that we didn't have at this time a year ago," Melvin said. "Last year, these guys were all rookies. Now we've got a veteran going."
Parker had a rough April, including a game in which the Tigers beat him up for eight runs in 31/3 innings. But he is 10-2 dating to a victory over the Giants on May 28, and at one point he was unbeaten for 19 consecutive starts.
Straily has come on strong as well, going 4-1 with a 2.00 ERA in his final six starts.
"I came here today hoping," Straily said. "I was hoping, but I wasn't expecting."
Straily set the pace for the A's in Detroit in August, winning the first game of a four-game series that the A's dominated. They won three of four, losing the last game when they blew a three-run lead in the ninth.
"I'll be watching that film," Straily said, "and cleaning up some of the things I did."
Griffin will travel with the team to Detroit for Games 3 and 4, as will left-handed pitcher Tommy Milone and first baseman Nate Freiman. None is on the active roster.
The A's will "take what we can get," Melvin said, adding that he would like for Cespedes to be his left fielder Friday. But if the shoulder limits Cespedes to designated hitter, the A's will settle for that.
Melvin said he is reasonably certain that Cespedes will at least be the designated hitter, but a close eye will be kept on the outfielder's progress all week.
The A's will be facing nothing but right-handed starters against the Tigers, so there's a chance Vogt will start every game. But given that Norris was one of the A's big bats down the stretch -- he hit .340 from Aug. 17 -- it would be no surprise if he caught at least one game.
Another catcher, John Jaso, will head back to instructional league in Phoenix when the A's leave town. There is a chance he could join the team as a designated hitter/pinch hitter if the club advances.
For more on the A's, see John Hickey's Insider at blogs.ibabuzz.com/athletics. Follow him on Twitter at twitter.com/JHickey3.
A's rely on hard-throwing relievers to close out games. Page 4.

Prospective students and their parents are cordially invited to visit Ferrum College. Appointments for interviews and tours of the campus may be arranged by calling the Admissions Office, which is located in the Spilman-Daniel House, at 1-800-868-9797. Staff are available weekdays for interviews and tours from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m., and by appointment, on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon, except during holiday weekends.
Admissions Standards
To be accepted as full-time degree candidates, applicants must meet the following qualifications: graduate from an accredited high school with a standard or advanced studies diploma or receive a high school equivalency certificate based on the General Educational Development Test (GED), or complete a home-school curriculum comparable to that required for high school graduation. When the Admissions Committee is reviewing an applicant for admission it considers the following: courses taken in high school, grades in courses recommended for admission to Ferrum, extracurricular activities, SAT I or ACT scores, recommendations, and admissions interview (if required).
Recommended High School Preparation
Students applying to Ferrum College should have completed the recommended number of years suggested for each of the following courses:
|Social Science
|Math (at least Algebra 1)
|Science (1 lab)
|Foreign Language
On a selective basis the College is willing to consider students whose preparation does not include all of these subjects. Although personal interviews are encouraged, they are not required for all students. However, the Admissions Committee may require an interview for students who have not completed the recommended number of academic courses or lack the appropriate G.P.A. or standardized test scores. The results of the interview will be used in the admissions decision.
When to Apply for Admission
Fall – Candidates for the fall semester at Ferrum College may apply for admission upon completion of their junior year of high school.
Spring – Candidates for the spring semester should apply thirty days prior to the beginning of the spring term (see Academic Calendar section).
How to Apply for Admission
Visit www.ferrum.edu to apply online or request a paper application by calling 1-800-868-9797, or in writing to the Office of Admissions. Applications should be sent to the Admissions Office with a nonrefundable fee of $25 to: Office of Admissions, Spilman-Daniel House, Ferrum College, P.O. Box 1000, Ferrum, VA 24088-9000.
Applicants should:
- Request that an official transcript of his/her secondary school record be sent to the Admissions Office. This interim record will be used in making the admissions decision. Upon graduation from high school, applicants must request a final transcript be sent certifying graduation with a standard or advanced studies diploma.
- Request that the results of Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT I) or the American College Testing (ACT) be sent to the Admissions Office.
College Entrance Test
Applicants who have completed high school during the year prior to enrollment are required to take either the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT I) or the American College Testing (ACT). Information on dates and fees can be obtained from a high school guidance office or by contacting: College Board SAT Program, Princeton, NJ 08541 (www.collegeboard.org), or American College Testing Program (ACT) Box 414, Iowa City, Iowa 52243 (www.act.org).
How to Accept an Offer of Admission
A student wishing to attend Ferrum must so inform the college no later than 30 days after receiving an official letter of acceptance. The entering student must send a $250 confirmation deposit (refundable until May 1) with the completed acceptance forms. The health form and roommate survey must be completed and returned to the appropriate offices at least one month prior to a student's registration.
Ferrum College offers several programs to ensure that all new students begin their college careers as smoothly and pleasantly as possible. All new freshmen and transfer students and their parents or guardians are introduced to the campus during a Panther Pre-Registration Assessment Weekend in the Summer (PAWS). Connection Weekend, an orientation program for all freshmen and transfer students, is offered immediately prior to the opening of fall semester. All incoming students must attend PAWS and Connection Weekend which include counseling, advising, orientation, and social gatherings. These programs are part of Ferrum's comprehensive Gateway – First Year Experience Program (see Gateway – First Year Experience section).
Special Admissions Categories
Admission as a Special Student
Individuals registering for fewer than 12 semester hours per term may be admitted as special students.
Admission as a Transfer Student
Ferrum welcomes transfer applicants and encourages them to visit the college campus. Transfer students should follow the same admissions procedure as outlined for recent high school graduates. In addition, transfer students must request that an official transcript of their college work be sent to the Ferrum College Admissions Office.
All courses which correspond to those offered at Ferrum, and which have been passed with a "C" or better grade, will be accepted for credit towards graduation. Students with transferable credit will not be required to repeat equivalent course content at Ferrum. Students must meet the number of upper level hours required for graduation by the student's major program and the College. Only credit hours, not grade point average, transfer to Ferrum College. Therefore, transfer credit does not enter into the grade point average for honors.
Transfer students will receive full consideration for housing, financial aid, and campus co-curricular activities. Transfer students may be eligible for academic merit scholarships.
Direct Transfer
When a student who graduates from an accredited Virginia Community College with an Associate of Arts degree, an Associate of Science degree, or an Associate of Arts and Sciences degree transfers into Ferrum College, Ferrum College agrees that the student has satisfied the Liberal Arts Core requirements portion of its graduation requirements. If the student has not had a 3-credit Bible-based course as part of the Associate degree curriculum, then Ferrum College will require that the student successfully complete REL 111, 112, 113, or PHI 131. The student must satisfy all other graduation requirements including writing intensive, speaking intensive E-Term, and experiential learning requirements.
Similar agreements have been established with other community and junior colleges in the mid-Atlantic states. To receive additional information or a listing of these cooperative institutions, please contact the Ferrum College Admissions Office and ask to speak with the transfer counselor.
Leave of Absence
Students in good standing, prior to completion of a semester, may be granted a leave of absence from the College for up to two semesters for specific vocational, educational, or medical reasons. Students desiring such a leave of absence must apply in writing to the Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs. Students approved for a leave of absence must also apply for readmission as described in the section below. Financial aid recipients should check with the Financial Aid Office as federal guidelines do not allow for more than a 180 day leave of absence without impacting your aid. Students withdrawing mid semester should see "Withdrawal from College" section.
Readmission for Former Ferrum Students
Former Ferrum students seeking readmission should write to the Dean of Admissions. Readmission petitions from students who are not in good academic standing will be reviewed by the Office of the Registrar and the Dean of Admissions. Students must also be in good standing with student accounts and student affairs before petitions for re-admission will be considered. Full-time students who leave the college must be readmitted within six calendar years of their original date of entrance in order to be governed by the requirements of their original catalog. If the six-year period is exceeded at the time of readmission, the student will be subject to meeting the requirements of the current catalog with the prior courses being subject to the approval of the Registrar (refer to the Academic Policies section of this catalog under the "Regulations Governing Catalog" for additional clarification).
Advanced Placement and Credit by Examination
Ferrum College offers advanced placement to those students who satisfactorily demonstrate a high level of proficiency in a given subject area. Advanced placement (exemption from lower-level courses) is sometimes granted on the basis of nationally normed tests, or on occasion, on locally prepared departmental tests. Decisions are based on individual cases and require the approval of the appropriate Dean.
Course credit as well as advanced standing may be earned through the Advanced Placement Test Program of the College Entrance Examination Board, the College Level Examination Program, and the International Baccalaureate Program. Advanced Placement credit may be granted upon presentation of a score of 3 or above. International Baccalaureate credit may be granted upon presentation of a score of 5 or above. Official scores are required before credit can be granted.
Qualified students may also earn credit for Ferrum courses by successfully completing locally prepared departmental examinations. Students interested in pursuing this possibility should consult with the program coordinator of the program which offers the particular course. No more than 10% of a student's coursework at Ferrum College may be earned by such examinations (see Miscellaneous Fees).
Veterans' Credit
Credit for educational experiences in the Armed Forces may be granted, based on recommendations of the American Council of Education. Credits are recorded for students after completion of at least one semester (15 or more semester hours) of resident study at Ferrum with a 2.000 or better academic average. Veterans must provide their DD-214 along with any military transcripts to the Registrar's Office.
Admission as an International Student
International students desiring admission to the college are encouraged to apply as early as possible. They must submit to the college:
- Copy of high school transcript translated into English.
- Score results from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (T.O.E.F.L.) exam, or the English Proficiency Exam (E.P.E.), or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (S.A.T.) are required.
- Personal Financial Information sheet (provided by the Admissions Office).
The I-20 Form is provided only after a student is accepted and has demonstrated the ability to pay tuition, room, board, and fees.

3.9-17 Commercial Mode of Operation
Revised to December 10, 2010
The plaintiff has
alleged that (his/her) injuries were caused by the mode by which the
defendant operated the business, in particular, by the way the defendant
designed, constructed or maintained <identify the mode of operation,
e.g., the self-service arrangement>.
This is called the mode of
operation rule. Under this rule, the plaintiff need not show that the defendant
had notice of the particular item or defect that caused the injury. Rather, the
plaintiff must prove:
1. that this mode of operation gave rise to a foreseeable risk of injury to
customers [or other invitees],
2. that the defendant failed to exercise reasonable care to avoid foreseeable
accidents created by this mode of operation, and
3. that the plaintiff's injury was proximately caused by such failure.
[It is not the law that a
defendant who runs a business guarantees the safety of those who come to the
premises. If a customer [or other invitee] is injured because of a negligent
act that the defendant cannot reasonably be expected to foresee or guard
against, then the defendant is not liable.]1
This language can be used here if it has not been previously used in the general
premises liability part of the charge. Kelly v. Stop & Shop, Inc., 281
Conn. 768, 790 (2007).
Fisher v. Big Y Foods,
Inc., 298 Conn. 414 (2010); Kelly
v. Stop & Shop, Inc., 281 Conn. 768, 791-93 (2007).

We've divided this section of the guide up into four distinct areas:
Walking Distance (less than 10 minutes on foot)
These places are mainly in the Kloof Street and Gardens area. You can walk to them and back safely day and night.
Walking Distance / Short Taxi Ride (between 10 – 15 minutes on foot, 5 minutes by taxi)
These places are mainly in the centre of old Cape Town or in the business district. You can walk to them but it would be better to take a taxi, especially on the way back if you leave late.
Short Taxi Ride (between 5 - 10 minutes by taxi)
These places are in De Waterkant or the V&A Waterfront. They are too far for a comfortable walk. Take a cab, please.
Drive Out of Town (between 20 - 40 minutes by taxi)
These places are all in other suburbs or towns on the peninsula or in the area of Cape Town.

Jamaica is embracing a controversial Super Bowl commercial that depicts a white office worker from the U.S. Midwest feigning the Caribbean island's lilting patois to display a cheerful, upbeat outlook.
Some U.S. critics have described the pregame Super Bowl ad from Volkswagen of America as offensive and culturally insensitive. Jamaica's population is predominantly black.
On NBC's "The Today Show," Barbara Lippert, editor-at-large at Mediapost.com, said she believed the commercial was racist because it was "just saying that black people are happy." New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow said during an appearance on CNN that the advertisement was like "blackface with voices."
But the charged reaction has met with puzzlement in Jamaica, which has very visible white, Asian, Middle Eastern and mixed-race minorities that also often speak with the local accent.
The island's government has endorsed the commercial, in which the ebullient white worker paraphrases the lyrics to late reggae icon Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds" as he tells his co-workers: "No worries, mon. Everyting will be all right."
The company's website continues the theme, offering a clip of Jamaica's Jimmy Cliff singing "C'mon, Get Happy."
On Wednesday, opposition lawmaker Edmund Bartlett said the television ad "is a perfect illustration of Jamaican culture's global reach and our uncharacteristic penchant to be happy even in challenging situations."
Tourism Minister Wykeham McNeill said he believes the Super Bowl commercial has the potential to increase tourist arrivals.
"I think this is a very creative commercial which truly taps into the tremendous appeal that brand Jamaica and its hospitable people have globally," said McNeil in a late Tuesday statement.
At a Kingston bus stop, office assistant Jennifer Blake said she saw the Volkswagen advertisement online and thought it was amusing to see an American trying to speak patois.
"I'm not sure why people would think it was offensive or anything," she said, adding that many of her friends have shared links to the commercial on social media.
Nearly all islanders, regardless of class, can speak and understand the country's patois.
A representative for Volkswagen of America said Wednesday morning that the company has no plans to pull the Super Bowl spot.
"As of this morning, we received no consumer calls or complaints about our ad. In fact, we've only received positive endorsements," Scott Vazin, a company spokesman, said in an email.

The main issue I'm having is skipping during the movie, but it may be due to the fact that I changed some of the settings around. I know... I should've left things the way they were (default settings), but, since I was getting a bit of skipping (a lot less than I currently am) I tried to change the settings to see if things would work better... tried installing the different transcoders... and with doing all that, I think I messed things up.
I now have my "Transcode buffer max size" at 500 and the "max bandwidth" at 3, which is making my computer work REALLY hard... As you can tell, I am a real newbie when it comes to streaming and transcoding. At the default settings, it would skip a whole lot less and, as you all know, the "Transcode buffer max size" is 400 and the "max bandwidth" is at 0.
Here is all of my comp's info:
1-Intel Pentium 4 - 3.06Ghz; 1.87GB of ram; running Vista 32-bit; Using PMS v.1.10.5
3-(see above) My main question is to know how to change things to default... and also to know what settings (if any) I may change in order to clean up any skipping.
5-(see attached)
Thanks in advance for your help!

We Make Zines is an online community for zine makers and readers. Although there are many social networking sites out there, there is little that focuses on zines. We all have our facebooks or blogs, but those accounts are filled with friends from work, from the third grade, people who don't know what a zine is and some who probably don't care.
This space creates a place that focuses on the zines. I want this place to be less about personality and friends and more about the zines - what we produce and read.
You can create a profile, list your zineography, post images of zines, partake in the forums, find other zine writers, read about new releases, read reviews from your favorite zine writers and leave comments about the zine you just read on the actual zinesters profile.
You can modify your page how you want. You just move the components around on your page to make them how you want them.
Use this space to connect, report, review and tell us about new stuff. Do keep in mind, however, that posting about the same thing repeatedly will be considered spam and not accepted. Members who do this will be banned.
Almost all of the content in this site is open to the public. You can read it all without needing to create a profile. Profiles that have been inactive for over a year may be deleted.

Olivier Hanlan and Patrick Heckmann hit 3-pointers in overtime, Lonnie Jackson made four straight free throws in the final 26.2 seconds, and lowly Boston College stunned top-ranked Syracuse 62-59 on Wednesday night, ending the Orange's unbeaten season.
Boston College (7-19, 3-10 Atlantic Coast Conference), which had lost five straight, rallied from a 13-point second-half deficit to pull off the improbable road upset.
The Eagles came to town with heavy hearts and a good dose of determination. Longtime basketball media contact and sports information assistant Dick Kelley died last week after a two-year battle with ALS. His funeral was Tuesday, and the Eagles, who often visited his apartment, wore "DK" patches on their uniforms.
"The patch on our chests, toward the end of the game it was like, 'We can't be denied. DK is looking down on us. He's got us,' " said forward Ryan Anderson, who grabbed 14 rebounds.
Syracuse (25-1, 12-1), which had won its previous two games by a combined three points, shot a season-low 32.2 percent from the field. "When you get in enough of these games, there's going to be one you're not going to make a play. That's what happens," Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said. "I'm really happy that we've won 25 games. We can't think about that. We've really got to get better."
Tied at 50 after regulation, Hanlan and Heckmann hit from long range to give BC a 56-52 lead with 2:56 left. Hanlan finished with 20 points.
Florida 71, Auburn 66: Patric Young made two free throws with 19 seconds left, and the second-ranked Gators (24-2, 13-0 Southeastern Conference) beat the Tigers (12-12, 4-9). The win was Florida's school-record 18th in a row.
Wichita State 88, Loyola of Chicago 74: Fred VanVleet scored 22 points on perfect shooting, and the No. 3 Shockers (28-0, 15-0 Missouri Valley Conference) beat the Ramblers (9-18, 4-11) to remain the last unbeaten team in major college basketball. VanVleet was 6 for 6 from the field and made all 10 free throws.
Arizona 67, Utah 63: Gabe York and Nick Johnson each scored 15 points, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson added 13, and the fourth-ranked Wildcats (24-2, 11-2 Pac-12) escaped in overtime against the Utes (17-9, 6-8).
Colorado 61, Arizona State 52: Askia Booker scored all but two of his 18 points during a second-half charge that carried the Buffaloes (20-7, 9-5 Pac-12) past the Sun Devils (19-7, 8-5).
Oregon 78, Washington 71: Damyean Dotson and Joseph Young combined for 23 second-half points, sparking the Ducks (17-8, 5-8 Pac-12) over the Huskies (14-13, 6-8).
Nevada 99, San Jose State 95: Despite 21 points from Britta Hall and 18 apiece from Rebecca Woodberry and Ta'Rea Cunnigan, the Spartans (10-15, 4-10 Mountain West) fell to the visiting Wolf Pack (14-11, 9-5).

PLEASANTON -- The Foothill High football team earned its first postseason win since 2009, beating Deer Valley 28-17 on Friday in the first round of the North Coast Section Division I playoffs.
The No. 7 seeded Falcons will play at No. 2 California (8-2) in next Friday's quarterfinals. The Grizzlies had a first-round bye.
Senior Griffith Gates rushed for 143 yards and two touchdowns, including the go-ahead score with 10 minutes, 50 seconds left, but it was the Foothill defense that pulled out the biggest plays at the end.
The Falcons (6-5) entered the fourth quarter down 17-14, then shut out the No. 10 Wolverines (6-5) the rest of the way.
No play was bigger than sophomore Isaiah Langley's interception with three minutes remaining and Foothill clinging to a 21-17 lead. Langley returned the pick to the Wolverines' 26-yard line, setting up an eventual 20-yard touchdown pass from Kyle Kearns to Jack Finney on fourth down to all but seal the win.
"Our sideline was cheering so loud, it meant so much," Gates said of Langley's interception. "(Deer Valley has) a good offense, and when you get a break like that and a sophomore steps up and makes a great play, you can't be more happy."
The Falcons forced three Deer Valley turnovers and didn't commit any.
Foothill used a methodical running game to control the clock against the speedy Wolverines, especially in the first half, and took a 14-10 lead into the locker room.
"We were trying to keep them from having the ball -- they can't score if we have the ball," Gates said. "It worked out well. We knew our (offensive) line was better than their (defensive) line."
Deer Valley quarterback Simba Webster, who passed for 2,056 yards during the regular season, threw for 241 yards against Foothill. He threw a 50-yard touchdown pass to his brother, Nzuzi Webster, that gave the Wolverines a 17-14 lead midway through the third quarter. But that was the only lead of the day for Deer Valley, which entered the playoffs on a three-game losing streak.
Kearns, Foothill's sophomore quarterback, was 9 of 17 for 141 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in his playoff debut. All but 16 of those yards came in the second half.
Foothill's Jamirr Holland added 66 rushing yards and a 9-yard touchdown run.

With all that in mind, today was a day that I felt like cooking and blogging about it. I'd recently made the trip to Trader Joe's in Indianapolis and picked up a few items that I don't normally see in my little hometown Kroger. I found some (already cooked) black beluga lentils and some Muir Glen chipotle fire-roasted tomatoes. We also stopped at a larger Kroger where I found my beloved Johnsonville smoked turkey sausage links, and then we swung by Penzey's Spices where I bought a ginormous bag of their fantastic taco seasoning. What to make, what to make?? A stew, of course!
The beauty of this recipe is that you can morph it into your own recipe by using regular smoked sausage, any kind of petite-diced tomatoes, and your own favorite lentils. I'm merely helping you along by adding the amounts and technique. Unless you're another Rachael Ray, "eyeballing" something can be difficult. And a "palm full" of a specific spice is a different amount to different people. I mean, what if you have man-hands and you're adding cayenne pepper to a recipe? And let's not even get into how one person's idea of a dollop or a squirt might be vastly different from the next person's. Perhaps now you can understand why it's occasionally fun for me to cook without blogging about it. I know how big my "pinch" is and I know that my man-hand palms hold more than a tablespoon, but for you, my friends, I shall write this recipe using measurements because I love you.
1 medium sweet potato (7-8 ounces) peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
2 TBSP olive oil, divided
1/2 pound fully cooked smoked sausage links, sliced lengthwise, then diced into 1/2 inch chunks (This was 3 Johnsonville smoked sausage links for me)
1 1/2 cups diced onions
8 oz sliced mushrooms (I used cremini mushrooms)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 TBSP all-purpose flour (you can also use whole wheat flour if desired)
2 cups chicken broth
1 package taco seasoning (I used 4 TBSP of Penzey's taco seasoning. If you make your own taco seasoning blend, feel free to use the amount you'd normally use to season one pound of meat)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, with the liquid
1 1/2 cups cooked black lentils
In a microwaveable dish, place cubed sweet potatoes. Cook in microwave for 4 minutes on high. Stir and cook for another 4 minutes on high. Set aside.
In a large skillet heat 1 TBSP olive oil. Add sausage pieces and fry until browned and crispy. Remove sausage from skillet with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Set aside.
Add remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet and add the chopped onions. Saute for 4-5 minutes until onions have softened and become translucent. Add sliced mushrooms and saute for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the mushrooms have lost most of their moisture. Add garlic and saute for another minute or two. Sprinkle flour over onion/mushroom mixture and stir to combine. Cook, stirring constantly to avoid burning, for another minute then slowly add the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat a bit and stir until mixture is smooth. Add the taco seasoning, the sweet potatoes and tomatoes with their liquid. Simmer for 4-5 minutes then add in the sausage and lentils. Simmer for a few more minutes to allow flavors to combine.

The dudes from Dahon (duh-hawn, not DAY-hawn) just before our ride.
2 Comments
Which part of the city did you guys go riding through?
We started out at the Grand Hyatt near Taipei 101 and rode, to the best of my understanding, southwest (partly along the river) to Lake Bitan, where we ate. Then we made a loop back to the northeast to pass through Wunshan and Sinyi on our way back to the Hyatt.
Maybe someone from Dahon will correct me.

STOCKTON - A man suffered lacerations to his face and neck when he was attacked Friday in a dispute over money, authorities and witnesses said.
A Latino man in his 30s was walking in the 3000 block of Waterloo Road about 5:55 p.m. when he was sucker punched by another man who claimed the victim owed him money, a witness said. A fight ensued and the assailant brandished a knife, but bystanders stopped the fight before anyone was stabbed, the witness said.
"One dude owed the other dude money, and when the dude walked by, the other dude just socked him," said the witness, who identified himself only as C.J. "They both started going at it and one dude pulled out a knife, and that's when everyone jumped in and stopped it."
The assailant was described as a white man in his 30s standing 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall with brown hair, a black hat, a white shirt and blue jeans, authorities said. He was last seen running south on Sutro Avenue.

Students involved in school bus fight suspended
Published: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 at 2:32 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 at 2:32 p.m.
North Henderson High's principal said students who caused an altercation on a school bus Tuesday afternoon have been suspended, and that safety remains top priority.
A blow-up between students on the bus caused the driver to pull over on Sugarloaf Road and call 911. The Henderson County Sheriff's Office and Edneyville Fire Department responded.
"We at North Henderson promote student safety as a priority on and off campus, which includes transportation," said Principal Frank Edney. "We do not ignore any situation that may jeopardize student safety and well-being. We had an issue in which tension existed on a bus because of an altercation, and the Sheriff's Office was notified to respond, as they may have been able to respond and arrive at the situation more quickly than we could, based on their being stationed across the county.
"The administration arrived at approximately the same time as the sheriff's deputies and investigated the situation, removed and suspended students from the bus that were causing disruptions that may compromise student safety, and allowed the bus to proceed safely to drop off students. The bus proceeded and students arrived home safely."

Just some info on streaming from an Axis camera that I have working, if anyone is interested.
Here is what I added to the web.conf
change username and password to your actual settings. If you have your camera setup for anonymous access just remove "username:password@" from the entry.
change xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to the actual i.p. settings of the camera.
On the camera change the setting for
system options/advanced/plain config/network (group)/session timeout/
to "0" (that's a zero). This will allow the stream not to stop after 60 seconds.
My box is a ubuntu 9 server 64 bit. It takes about 25 seconds before the video displays and the stream is about 5 seconds behind.
You can leave the camera setup to do a live stream of mpeg4 video(for normal web viewing) and this mjpg stream will still work.
I found this page: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/dtg/research/wiki/axisCameras very helpful.
Now for what I could not get working(again for the interested)...
Here are a couple of examples of the working rtsp on VLC:
With VLC on XP they connect in about 2 seconds and are about 1.5 seconds behind.
in PMS this did not work):
I did not wait for more than a minute for the video to come up in PMS, so I can not be sure it was not just bufering it however.
I hope this helps someone.
Thanks for making this program. It is wonderful and getting better day by day!
