Associate of Applied Science in Network Systems Technology - Cyber Security Major
The Network Systems and Cyber Security program is offered exclusively at Hocking College's Logan Campus.
Securing data systems is a major ongoing challenge in today's world, and our Network Systems and Cyber Security degree program can prepare you to enter this exciting and challenging field. There is a growing need for more hands-on experienced professionals. Employment of information security analysts is projected to grow 37 percent from 2012 to 2022, much faster than the average for all occupations, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
It is an analyst's job to fix cyber attack issues to prevent hackers from stealing data or creating havoc within networks. Information security analysts' responsibilities continue to expand as the number of cyber attacks increase, leading to an increase in the number of professionals needed in the field today.
Some of the leading industries for cyber security professionals are finance and insurance, information, computer systems and management. Our program prepares students for the numerous career opportunities in such industries demanding cyber security analysts.
Students in the program will be exposed to reality-based situations and projects assisted by experienced faculty members. The program will prepare students to be technically proficient in both operating systems and networking technologies by practicing specific disciplines and responsibilities that occur in real companies.
Hocking College is a Cisco Networking Academy partner. The Cisco Networking Academy is highly regarded for its hands-on learning approach to the IT field, and provides a curriculum based on the current trends in the industry and the skills required for IT specialists.
As a security professional, you must be technically proficient in both operating systems and networking technologies. The first year of the program focuses on developing skills in these areas. During the second year, security is the focus. Some skills students will develop include network analysis (packet sniffing), cryptography and VPNs, intrusion detection and prevention systems, firewalls, wireless networking and wireless security, penetration testing and ethical hacking.
Many employers prefer candidates to have general certifications to show knowledge in specific areas. Several courses in this curriculum specifically cover the topics of these industry certification exams: Cisco CCENT, CompTIA Security+, Certified Ethical Hacker and Cisco CCNA Security. Students pursuing a career as an IT security specialist may want to pursue and obtain one or more of these certifications to show specialized knowledge in specific subject areas.
The courses needed for the cyber security program are sequential in order to attain skills and experience needed for the challenging field. Students are encouraged to begin autumn semester if they wish to complete the degree on time. However, students may enter the program at the start of any semester with the understanding that completion of the degree will take longer than two years.
Program Outcomes
The following outcomes are skills, behaviors, and attitudes cultivated in students seeking the Associate of Applied Science in Network Systems Technology - Cyber Security Major:

Career Opportunities
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and industry groups, employment opportunities in networking with a cyber security focus are expected to be much better than average for the foreseeable future. As more companies are moving online, the demand for cyber security professionals is rapidly increasing in numerous industries across the United States. Most computer jobs, especially those with large companies, are found in metropolitan areas, which may require relocation after graduation.
Typically, students would enter the field as a network technician or network operator. After further experience, job titles would include IT security specialist, infosec technician, information security manager, IT security analyst and network security consultant.
Graduates also have the ability to continue their education at a four-year college or university, usually as a junior, through transfer opportunities.

To succeed in this program we will need the support of everyone on the team. This team includes the players, coaches, parents, and the community. Every successful softball program needs this type of support structure. We believe that parents are central to the success of the program.

Share your experiences with the The Women's Half Marathon - Nashville, TN below Back to event details page.
This was such an amazing event. I can't pinpoint one exact component...excellent organization for expo, water stops, finish line food/water/electrolytes, awards. It was so amazing seeing all the women on the course (and a few token men.)
Thank you Dawna for bringing such an amazing event to Nashville and enriching women's lives! I can't wait to see you next year.
What a great event, from the expo to the race, to the post-race party. Everything was smooth (at least for the participants). It was great to see such a wonderful celebration of women. Can't wait until next year. Thanks to Women's Running Magazine!
Absolutely perfect event! I did the 5K this year and I can't wait to come back for the half next year!! Thank you for such an amazing experience!
Had a fantastic time. The weather was great lots of water stops and support. Thanks for bringing it to Nashville.
Great event!!!!
Has anyone heard any news about the woman taken to the hospital at the finish line? I pray she is alright.
This race is not a good first 1/2 marathon for novice runners. I've run many 1/2's and 16 full marathons with a BQ time and am training hard for my next marathon. Even though my time was decent (1:45), I am going to say that this is a tough, hilly course. The elevation chart is misleading and doesn't correctly depict the constant rolling hills. I've run the Country Music Marathon 7 times and many smaller race in Nashville and never had this many hills in one race. The aid stations were positioned well. Very little crowd support, but good bands in a few places. The water at the finish was handed out warm instead of being kept in ice and chilled for the warm day.
This was my first half marathon. I enjoyed it. Many said it was hillier than the Music City Marathon. I didnt know any better. The only thing I could say is why put such a huge incline in the last mile? I was hoping to coast in at that point.
I thought the end of it was very nice with all the white chairs, tables with white tableclothes, vendors selling flowers, massage tent and even a cookie tent. The awards were beautiful and something to strive for in the future!
Thanks for bringing this event to Nashville.
This half marathin was incredible. Tough course but very challenging and so much fun. The staff was super friendly and the race was well organized. This will be an annual event!
Oddly enough after reading the previous reviews, I thought that the course was easier than the Country Music 1/2 course. Maybe it was because the hills were more spaced out; the CCM course seemed to be 3 uphills for every downhill. Also, since this snaked through more neighborhoods, there was more shade. My pace leader was excellent. There was good organization for a first event, to be sure. The only things I would say to improve would be to have more trash bins at the start/finish area, and beef up the "ultimate" goody bag, which was rather empty. But overall, I was very pleased.
Great Expo and post race was very nice. Love the Finisher's T-Shirt and medal. I have ran several half marathons but have to admit this one is a very difficult course when it comes to hills. I felt the Pedestrian Bridge steep incline hill at the end of Mile 12 was brutal but did appreciate the second half was mostly downhill. The fan support was great. Would love to see more music/bands along the route. My girlfriend and I thought it was a well planned event and are thinking about doing the St. Pete's race in Florida next November!
Great first time event, very well organized. The downsides were, the "ultimate" goody bags were more than dissapointing. The hills were worse than the Country Music Full or half and I have done both. Why put such a difficult incline in mile 12? I will do it next year, if they change the course. Also, a little more publicity for the race may have brought out more fans to cheer us along the course. However, the water stations all had volunteers that rocked! Make some tweaks to the course and it has the potential to be almost perfect!
This was my first and and I LOVED IT!!! The last hill was killer and I did not see that on the online course. Mimosas at the end would be a great way to say congrats to the finishers!! Loved the shirt and the medal. Organization was great..check in was easy...expo well attended and good location. Totally enjoyed it and will be back!
I thought this course was harder than the Country Music Marathon! The numerous water stops were wonderful and there was so much encouragement along the course. I absolutely love the finisher's medal. I did get frustrated at the expo because it was so cramped. Overall it was a memorable experience and I look forward to the race next year. And congrats to all those strong women who ran their first half marathon!
This was my first half and I loved it. The numerous water stops were wonderful. The Finishers Pavilion was disappointing. I love the finisher's medal and shirt. It was great and I hope it returns next year.
Is there any word on the runner that went down right before the finish line? My thoughts and prayers go out to her.

Now YoruFukurou supported User Stream. Awesome!!
Since Echofon was rendered unusable with incredibly obtrusive ads, this is the best free Twitter client for Mac.
great app! i can't decide between YoruFukurou and Echofon. damn.
I really like this! But I can't handle having the input box at the top of the UI, as I like to keep apps like this up at the top of my screen, sort of a little 'status area.' That's just my paradigm, but haven't seen any other Twitter clients with the box up there, so I have to wonder why it is? Keeping it at the bottom more closely mimics other sorts of app as well, say iChat or Mail⦠Anyway, that's my only real complaint with this program, but it will keep me from using itâ¦Â But I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind the box being where it is, it's a well-done app!
Beta version supports "Lists" and "oAuth" and includes many improvements. But, it is little unstable.
Pretty good I must say. It does not support multiple accounts though.

NEW YORK - Financier and philanthropist Alberto Vilar was granted bail and will be released from prison pending his appeal, an appeals court ruled Tuesday afternoon.
"The motion for bail pending appeal is granted and the case is remanded to the District Court for consideration and entry of a bail order setting appropriate conditions," said the order from the three-judge panel from the U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals.
Vivian Shevitz, attorney for Vilar and his business associate Gary Tanaka, asked that her clients be released on their own recognizance. United States District Judge Richard J. Sullivan gave federal prosecutors have until noon today to submit their objections.
Shevitz argued last month before the U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals - Circuit Judges Jon Newman, Jose Cabranes and Chester Straub - that Vilar should be released on bail and his conviction overturned.
Tuesday afternoon the three judges agreed with half of her argument, and said Vilar could leave the Fort Dix Correctional Institution, while his conviction for securities fraud works its way through the appeal process.
Tuesday's one-page order sent the case back to Manhattan Federal Judge Richard Sullivan to set bail and conditions.
Vilar, for whom Beaver Creek's Vilar Center is named, was 69 years old when he was convicted and sentenced to nine years in prison. He had been denied bail because Sullivan ruled he was a flight risk.
Shevitz was busy Tuesday arranging for the release of Vilar and his partner Gary Tanaka, who was convicted at the same time as Vilar.
"It's court-granted bail, and they're going to be out as soon as I can arrange this," Shevitz said.
Federal prosecutors argued that Vilar is a flight risk and should not be granted bail.
Vilar's and Tanaka's court-appointed attorneys countered that Vilar doesn't have enough money left to be a flight risk, and that Tanaka needs specialized cancer treatments.
In Feb. 2010, Sullivan sentenced Vilar to nine years in prison after he was convicted of bilking up to $40 million from investors. He used at least part of the money for his philanthropic work, court records say.
Sullivan also ordered three years of probation, a $25,000 fine and $21.9 million in restitution.
Vilar's attorneys argued that the government froze more than $50 million in 2005 at J.P. Morgan Chase, and there is more than enough money to repay those victims but the government won't release it.
The complicated case has generated mountains of court documents, but basically Vilar's conviction is being appealed on the grounds of what Sheviz called the "extraterritoriality" of U.S. securities laws.
"This is about their offshore clients, not their U.S. clients. They were squeaky clean," Shevitz said.
Vilar was arrested on May 2005 at Newark International Airport upon his return from a business trip, said Walter Pfaeffle, a paralegal in New York working on Vilar's case.

What Benedict gave the world
For the first 18 years of my life, the only pope I knew was Paul VI. Of course I use the word "knew" in the figurative sense, since I'd never met the former Giovanni Battista Maria Montini during my childhood and youth.
I remember reflexively praying for him at Mass when the priest would get to the part about God's "Servant Pope Paul" and his "Bishop John," referring to Philadelphia's Cardinal Kroll.

Legal Guardian
Published: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 12:06 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 12:06 a.m.
I was shocked and dismayed when I read the story about the elderly woman at the hands of a professional guardian ["Legal Guardians Have a Lot of Sway Over Wards' Lives," Feb. 3]. I could not believe that a bank employee would contact a guardian directly in a case of suspected financial abuse.
As a former personal banker, I have opened many guardianship accounts on behalf of family members and professional guardians.
I have also witnessed cases of financial abuse and not once did I ever refer a case directly to a guardian.
The proper procedure is to notify the state Department of Children & Families, Elder Abuse Hotline, and it sends a social worker to do an investigation. Then a determination is made as to whether abuse exists, and the agency takes the necessary legal steps.
There are many other options that can be pursued first before just stripping a person of rights and property.
A simple bladder infection in a younger person can render an elderly person (usually asymptomatic) lethargic and confused, with signs of dementia, but once the infection is treated the recovery is nothing short of remarkable.
Jumping the gun and jumping to conclusions for what appears to be financial gain for more than one person involved in the case that The Ledger brought to light is quite apparent.
I would expect that law enforcement would be investigating this matter from every angle. Who was offering incentives to whom?
This was a grave and serious disservice to this woman. Those involved should face legal consequences.

UMMA Collections
Asia: China
The Chinese painting collection at UMMA is justly renowned for its breadth and depth, with more than 200 works representing major artistic movements from the thirteenth century to modern times. Ming period painting in both the courtly and literati styles is a special strength, with works by such luminaries as Wu Wei, Zhou Chen, Wen Zhengming, and Sheng Maoye, to name only a few. There are nearly 400 examples of Chinese ceramics in the Museum, ranging in date from the Neolithic period to the twentieth century, and particularly rich in pieces of the Han (second century BCE–second century CE) and Song (tenth to thirteenth century) periods. Other clusters of interest include bronze mirrors, Buddhist sculpture, calligraphy, rubbings (particularly of the famous second-century Wu Family Shrine), nineteenth-century textiles, and twentieth-century folk art.

We ask that you always use the above phone line for absence reporting. Please notify us of every day or partial day that your student is absent, and give the reason (the state of Oregon requires a reason in our absence reporting).
The PPS district also has a separate "Auto Dialer" phone system that will call you if your student is absent and we have not been able to report the absence before the district daily deadline. If you receive a call by the Auto Dialer, it is possible to leave a response. However, we ask you not to leave your response on that system. Instead, always call our MLC attendance line (503-916-3656) and leave your absence reporting with us. MLC is one of several PPS schools that use our own dedicated line for all attendance reporting. We monitor our line each morning for messages. Make your call by 9:30 a.m.; calls made later than 9:30 may still generate Auto Dialer calls to you, as the MLC registrar must record absences by an early deadline.

OAKLAND -- Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Tennessee Titans had the feeling of more than the usual sick and demoralizing gut punch for the Raiders. By any objective measure, this game was their last best chance to remain a playoff "contender" in 2013.
And they blew that chance. The Titans scored the winning touchdown with 10 seconds left in the fourth quarter.
"We still have some learning to do as a team on how to finish games," linebacker Nick Roach said. "That's what we need to focus on."
Well, among other things.
Bottom line: If you own a fourth-quarter lead on your home field over a struggling team with a losing record such as the Titans, there is no excuse for letting victory slip away. The Raiders weren't making one.
"We just didn't make enough plays to win the game," coach Dennis Allen said.
In truth, it was the Raiders' good fortune to even be facing Sunday's kickoff as part of the so-called "postseason picture." At kickoff time against Tennessee, the Raiders and their 4-6 mark were legitimately in the hunt for the lone remaining AFC wild card playoff spot .
The Titans took the field with an identical 4-6 record. And as the scores of early NFL games trickled in, it became apparent that Sunday's winner at O.co Coliseum would hold the tiebreaking advantage over all other 5-6 teams for that sixth and final postseason position.
That winner turned out to be the Tennessee Titans. Which means the Raiders are looking up at 11 other AFC teams with better records. The 4-7 record could become 4-8 very quickly because the Raiders face a Thanksgiving Day game in Dallas against the Cowboys.
The performance against Tennessee left much to be desired. It is rare to put primary blame on Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski for a loss. But there was no way around it after Sunday's final result.
Janikowski, as a 14-year veteran with a famously reliable foot, should know how to handle just about anything. But for whatever reason, he had a horrible day.
First, Janikowski barely made a wobbly 52-yarder in the first quarter. He did later convert two shorter attempts -- but inexplicably missed a 32-yard attempt wide left and did the same with a 48-yarder. If both had been through the uprights, the Raiders would have been winners.
Janikowski had not missed two field goal attempts in the same game since 2010 -- and that happened away from home, in Arizona.
One report was that Janikowski had complained about a bad hold on one of the misses to a sideline radio reporter. But the Raiders kicker was unavailable to confirm this. He was gone by the time media members entered the dressing room.
"I feel like Sebastian is going to work through this," Allen said. "I still have all the confidence that when I send him out there, it's going to go through. So it's just something that we have to go through and we have to get better in that area."
Trouble is, by the time that happens, it will already be too late -- even if Janikowski was not the only responsible Raider party in terms of blame Sunday, either.
With quarterback Terrell Pryor still benched, rookie Matt McGloin had some good moments (and earned another start Thursday) but he threw one terrible interception that set up a Titans' field goal.
The Raiders defense played well in spurts but allowed Tennessee's offense to convert 10 of 18 third-down plays, including four of five in the final period.
This led to the ultimate outcome in those final seconds. If the Raiders had stopped that final third down play by Tennessee, there likely would have been overtime.
Instead, Titans wide receiver Kendall Wright lined up in the slot and was somehow able to find way too much open space at the Raiders' 2-yard line. Wright caught the ball from quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and dove into the end zone.
Allen, who ordered up just a three-man pass rush on the play, said that if he had to do it over again, "I would have been more aggressive going after" Fitzpatrick.
With basically nothing to lose, there's no need for the Raiders to be anything but aggressive from this point. Is there?
Instead, Allen's hesitancy added up to one more Sunday afternoon of not-quite-there-yet for the Raiders. It's really too bad. With their two young quarterbacks and a vastly improved defensive concept, this is a far more intriguing team than a year ago. It has just five more weeks in 2013 to prove it is a better one.

California's got ideal weather, soothing beaches and even the "Happiest Place on Earth."
But it's also ranked the 9th worst in terms of percentage of people with long commutes, the 5th worst when it comes to high unemployment and the 2nd worst for paying a higher share of income for housing. In fact, a new survey has branded the Golden State as the 4th most "stressed state" out of the 48 lower states based on six financial and quality of life indicators.
Florida, Georgia and New Jersey were listed as the top three most stressed states, according to the Movoto.com, a blog by the San Mateo-based online real estate brokerage that did the study.
"California is kind of like the Apple MacBook of the states. It's branded as an awesome, surfer heaven where you can strike it big," the blog stated. "In actuality, you can't afford to live by yourself in a nice part of town unless you've been working for eight years or you're a superstar computer programmer. The proof is in the source code: Californians spend more of their income on housing (26 percent) than any other state besides (New Jersey.)"

Renewable Energy Standards Advance in Four States
July 15, 2009
Renewable energy standards are credited with the rapid growth of wind power in Texas, including the 278-megawatt King Mountain Wind Ranch, shown here.
The states of Kansas and West Virginia recently adopted their first mandatory requirements for renewable energy use through so-called renewable energy standards, while Maine and Nevada have boosted the requirements under their renewable energy standards. The Kansas legislation requires the state's utilities to draw on renewable energy to meet 10% of their peak demand by 2011, 15% by 2019, and 20% by 2020. The renewable energy sources can include wind power, solar energy, existing hydropower, new small hydropower, various forms of biomass energy, and fuel cells that use hydrogen produced from a renewable energy resource. New facilities earn 10% extra credit toward the requirement. Kansas is also allowing easy interconnection and net metering for customer-owned renewable energy systems, and those systems can count toward the requirement. Utilities can also meet a portion of the requirement by buying renewable energy credits. The legislation also requires energy efficiency standards for buildings owned and leased by the state and sets fuel economy standards for state-owned motor vehicles. See the press release from Governor Mark Parkinson and the full legislation (PDF 112 KB). Download Adobe Reader.
West Virginia is a coal state, and its new credit-based system allows for both renewable energy and mostly coal-based "alternative energy resources" to meet its new standard. The state requires its electric utilities to hold credits for at least 10% of their retail sales by 2015, increasing to 15% by 2020 and 25% by 2025. Renewable energy facilities normally earn double credits, but they earn triple credits if the facilities are located on reclaimed surface mines. Customer-owned generators also earn credits that can be sold to the utility, while utilities can earn credits through energy efficiency and demand management initiatives, as well as projects that reduce or offset greenhouse gases. Eligible renewable energy resources include solar energy, wind power, geothermal energy, biomass power, run-of-river hydropower, and fuel cells. Alternative energy resources include advanced coal technologies, waste coal, coal bed methane, fuel from coal gasification or liquefaction, synthesis gas, natural gas, tire-derived fuel, pumped storage hydropower, and energy reclaimed from waste heat. See the West Virginia legislation.
The changes in Maine and Nevada are far more straightforward. Maine has passed legislation that provides a 50% extra credit toward its renewable energy standard for community-based renewable energy projects. Nevada has simply extended its renewable energy standard, which previously topped out at 20% for 2015 and after. Under the new legislation, the standard increases to 22% by 2020 and to 25% by 2025. See the Maine legislation and page 49 of the Nevada legislation (PDF 169 KB).

Southeastern Names Keith Barefield as Its First Head Football Coach
Published: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 10:25 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 10:25 p.m.
LAKELAND | Southeastern University will name Keith Barefield its first head football coach today.
Barefield was the head football coach at Northwestern Oklahoma State University in Alva, Okla., from 2007-2011.
Northwestern Oklahoma State was 34-19 in Barefield's five seasons, with two Central States Football League championships. The Rangers made the NAIA playoffs three times.
Southeastern will compete in NAIA Division I football for the first time beginning in the fall of 2014. The university announced plans in September to build a 5,000-seat football stadium on its Lakeland campus, with construction beginning next summer.
Barefield also was head football coach at his alma mater, Evangel University in Springfield, Mo., for 10 years with a 66-33-2 record.
Barefield, married with four children, earned his bachelor's degree at Evangel in 1978 and his master's degree at the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary in 1983.
He also taught health and sports science at Northwestern Oklahoma.
Southeastern will introduce Barefield at a 1 p.m. news conference today at the Mi Casa Cafe on campus.
Barefield could not be reached for comment Monday.

2. Presentation insights from science competitions
On community.lifehack.org: presentation tips from a science fair competitor. Makes me wish I'd gotten into the science fair circuit!
I've given many presentations on topics like wearable computing, embedded computing, Linux in education, and personal information management. I used to think, "Oh no, they want me to talk about wearable computing again?!" Then I realized that the more I talked about something, the more comfortable I became with the topic, and the more I could connect with a large audience. I started telling stories and showing comics, and presenting became tons of fun.
I think I should hook up with a few other Toastmasters clubs so that I can give the same speech to many different audiences. It's good practice for me, and a whole lot of fun.
1. Bluepoint road tour
Last Friday (December 5, 2003), I joined the Bluepoint Road Tour to talk about Linux in the academe (SXI). I shared my experiences with Linux as a student and as a teacher, and I also showed how it makes sense from the administrator's point of view. It was tons of fun, particularly fielding questions during the open forum! =)
Dominique went out of his way to escort me from Ateneo to Lyceum - I'd literally have been lost without him. Karma++. <grin> That made him a little late for his keynote speech (whoops!), but Magie covered for him by extending her talk for 15 minutes more. He talked about IBM and Linux.
I finally got to meet Eddie Salonga. I knew him from BBSing, but hadn't met him until then. His parents joined us for dinner at Oody's in Greenbelt; apparently, his dad is a senator. (Nice guy; smiles a lot!)

It happens all too often. Children get their hand on poisonous products like cleaning solutions or medicines and they swallow it. A life-threatening situation, doctors used to recommend syrup of Ipecac. Now they are saying don't use Ipecac, but rather Activated Charcoal.
Poison is found in many forms, pills or liquid, but how you react to a poisoning is what matters. That means the child needs to be under a doctor's watchful eye. If you're trying to do something at home, just make sure you're using the right remedy.
The reason doctors aren't recommending Ipecac anymore...vomiting has some dangerous side effects, not to mention, the Ipecac only gets rid of about twenty to forty percent of the poison. Hence, the new alternative, Activated Charcoal.
The Activated Charcoal binds to the poison, forcing it through the intestines, and out the body. Eighty percent of the ingested poison is removed, more than twice what Ipecac could take away.
The most important thing to do in the event someone around you ingests poison is to immediately call the poison control center. Their nationwide hotline is 1-800-222-1222.

Learning Beyond the Classroom
History majors at Merrimack have several opportunities to earn credit for learning beyond the classroom through internships.
Some recent internships completed by Merrimack history students:
- One student interned at the USS Constitution Museum, where he did research for the 2008 "Life at Sea" exhibit. He focused the lives of the crew during war of 1812, as well as the design, construction, and purchasing of the ship's armaments;
- Another student interned at the Lawrence City Attorney's office, where she conducted research in Land Court issues;
- A Merrimack history major researched for press releases and provided support relating to housing issues for the office of former Congressman Marty Meehan;
- At the New England Quilt Museum in Lowell, a Merrimack history student gathered information from quilt owners, scanned slides of quilts, and documented the background and interpretation of quilts in the museum's collections;
- A student is also working for Historic New England assisting with magazine publishing;
Students who are interested in exploring internship opportunities are encouraged to contact Dr. Clarisse Poirier in the History Department. Dr. Poirier meets with students to help them find a suitable placement, works with them during the internship itself, and evaluates the student's work.

AUSTIN (December 7, 2012)--Texas House Speaker Joe Straus said Friday lawmakers will fund public schools this session enough to keep up with booming enrollment growth, a $2 billion proposition.
The San Antonio Republican also told The Associated Press Friday that he hopes the Legislature will restore $4 billion in cuts to schools its members approved in 2011.
Texas' fast-growing population means enrollment in its public schools increases by over 150,000 students per year, requiring an additional $2 billion in the state budget to keep up.
"The good news is we're dedicated to doing that," he said.
The Legislature reconvenes Jan. 8.
In 2011, lawmakers voted to cut $4 billion from the state's school funding formula.
Straus refused to commit to restoring that money, but he said, "I hope we can.

TULSA, Okla. – Ashley Darley scored 27 points, but it was not enough as Oral Roberts posted an 81-59 win over the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's basketball team on Saturday at the Mabee Center. Kevi Luper led the way with 26 points for the home squad, as ORU improved to 10-4 and sits in sole possession of first place in the Southland Conference.
Sarah Shelton had a strong game in the post for the Golden Eagles, posting 16 points and seven rebounds. Jaci Bigham added 12 points and nine assists for ORU, while Savannah Buck added 11 points and eight boards.
Brandi Huff notched nine points off the bench, while Trish Amboree added six and Imani Dunn five. The Islanders' bench outscored ORU's 23-17 in the contest. The Islanders were without the services of Jessica Jammer, who left the team during the trip due to a loss in her family.
The Golden Eagles came out blazing from the field, riding the inside-outside combination of Shelton and Luper to a 13-2 lead at the 15:03 mark. The duo combined to go 6-of-7 from the field, with Luper scoring seven points and Shelton six in the early going. The Islanders started ice cold on the offensive end, opening the game 0-for-10 from the field with six turnovers, as the Golden Eagles pushed their lead to 18-4 after Taylor Cooper added five straight points for the home squad.
The Islanders tried to chip away, getting a nice inside layup by Darley and a long two from Janae Blount, but the Golden Eagles continued their tremendous offensive start on the other end. ORU pushed its lead to 30-11 after a Luper three-pointer and got it all the way to 44-16 after two free throws by Bernadette Balla.
The Islanders then rallied, finishing the half on a 10-3 run. Darley provided five points on a pair of free throws and a traditional three-point play, while Huff scored three and Dunn added a nice layup in the closing seconds to finish off the first-half scoring.
After the break, the Islanders continued their solid offensive play, starting 5-for-7 from the field with all five baskets coming in the paint. But Luper continued to carry the Golden Eagles, knocking down a pair of threes and a layup to push the lead to 54-32. The Islanders responded with a 7-0 run, with a Huff layup, a Taryn Gregory and a Dunn three trimming the lead to 15.
The Islanders continued to chip away at the Golden Eagles' lead, getting the deficit as low as 13 after a pair of Darley free throws made it 65-52. But ORU continued to convert at the free-throw line, hitting their final six shots at the stripe. That was enough for the home squad to finish off the victory, their third straight.
The Islanders return to action for a Tuesday doubleheader on Stripes Court at the American Bank Center against Northwestern State. The women's team will tip off at 5 p.m. with the men's game to follow. For tickets, call 825-BALL (2255) or visit the ticket page of GoIslanders.com.

Yes I know - I'm lazy but maybe not only me ....
It would be nice to have an "Automatic" tool to create a Centerline Cross for circles and arcs.
I could imagine to click on a tool button - click on a circle or arc - give the values for the overshoot and the orientation of the Centerline cross - and done!
If somebody has already a "Centerline Cross Creation Tool" or is able to program one for QCAD it would be highly appreciated if you share this tool with the community in this forum
Definition of task:
- creates Center cross lines for circles and arcs (ellipses?),
- Line attributes dependent on active Layer,
- Option-box for overshoot setting,
- Option-box for orientation setting,
- not as a block,
I would do it by my self - but I can't program something like that ...
... can you????

One of the biggest buzzwords of the 21st century thus far is "busy". It's extremely fashionable to be "busy" and it appears that the busier you are, the trendier you are, hence the term "just too busy".
And out of this trend the continual need for all things convenient is sustained. We're "too busy to iron clothes" so wrinkle-releaser was invented. We're too busy to vacuum, so now we have robotic vacuums in various shapes and sizes that run around our floors on their own picking up dust. We've been too busy to mash our own potatoes for quite awhile now and we've been provided with an array of different boxed, dried instant products to choose from that supply us with a not-quite-reasonable facsimile of the real thing.
And today, FoodFacts.com discovered that it appears that we're too busy to prepare our holiday meals as well! According to Popeye's Chicken and Biscuits, we can leave the preparation of our Thanksgiving Turkey to them! It seems that we've been able to do that for about 13 years now (if not longer).
The idea of ordering a holiday meal for delivery is nothing new. As a society, we've been avoiding actual cooking for years. But would you actually order your Thanksgiving turkey from Popeye's?
If you read the reviews from various internet sources, the answer is apparently a resounding YES! from hundreds of consumers. The Cajun-style fried holiday turkey from Popeye's is rumored to be a very tasty bird. People look forward to ordering it every year for their holiday meal. ?????
Thanksgiving dinner from a fast food chain. Well … not exactly.
O.k. the bird is being offered for order from Popeye's. Between 9 and 11 pounds, pre-cooked (flash-fried in the description) and $39.99 at specific locations. We did a little web hunting and discovered that the turkey appears to be coming from CajunGrocer.com. You can Google Popeye's fried turkey Cajungrocer.com and you'll find more than a few links that put the two together. If you order the turkey from CajunGrocer, you'll pay about $12 more for it than if you order it directly from your participating Popeye's.
Details on the turkey are difficult to discover. The Popeye's website is pretty understated about this promotion. The only thing you'll find is a participating store locator. When you input your zip code you'll get a list of locations with a Cajun Turkey icon next to the address. There is no nutritional information or ingredient list for the product itself.
So we headed on over the CajunGrocer.com (http://www.cajungrocer.com/popeyes-cajun-fried-turkey-10-12-lbs-902.html). Here we got just a little more information. It states that prior to cooking the turkey is injected with a Creole butter marinade (no ingredients are included). We've also read that the turkey is rubbed with a spice blend. But that's about all the information we can find here. Clicking the Nutrition Information tab simply brings us to a list with no accompanying data. And right next to the entry "Ingredients", we find "cajun fried turkey."
Honestly, FoodFacts.com finds this a bit suspect. We generally like transparency when it comes to our food and can't help but wonder why we're not getting it here. Nutritional information for the Popeye's Cajun Fried Turkey should be available on both the Popeye's website and the CajunGrocer.com website.
And honestly, we can't wrap our heads around the concept of Thanksgiving dinner from Popeye's. No offense intended. This turkey gets rave reviews. And it technically isn't from a fast food place. But even so … it's just not working for us. And if Popeye's wants us to attempt to get with their Thanksgiving program, they can send us the ingredient list soon. Maybe then we'll give it a try!

Here's a new review with some misinformation to boot from Accesshiphop:
Probably some of the strangest and most bizarre rap I've ever heard.
Not much is known about Curtis Plum but he found his way to Sage
Francis' Strange Famous Records with his very own full-length co-
produced by Reanimator. Curtis is essentially playing a character who
makes Casio keyboard beats and raps in a weird Katharine Hepburn
accent. Hip hop humor when done right can be really funny but often
annoying, oddly enough, Curtis Plum seems to have found some middle
ground here but you definitely get the vibe that this guy is a little
disturbed if it weren't for all the jokes. His character observes
both the un-cool and the uber hip in our society and tries to make
sense of it in his own way with rap about the subjects like "Bike
Cops," "Call My Cellphone," and "Vin Diesel."

Mammoth: New Years Eve 2011
Words: Eric Meyers Photos: Peter Morning It's New Year's Eve in 2000. A young and obscure janitor is ringing it in by cleaning up the mess leftover from the Canyon Lodge party at Mammoth Mountain. Twelve years later, he's on the mic hosting the party and dousing the crowd in champagne. The guy who went from mopping to bottle-popping is none other than Eddie Wall, so keep his story in mind as you try to stick to your resolutions of self-improvement this year. Eddie and Mason Aguirre were the official hosts of the annual New Year's Eve party in Mammoth. The guys spent the evening acting as the party police and making sure everyone had a good time and full cups— especially the crew of Frends that showed up with the requisite trail of beautiful girls that always seems to be in tow. Eddie and Mason took over the countdown duties at midnight, while a lineup of top DJs from all over California manned the speakers for the rest of the evening. The celebration at night was cool and all, but the real party went down in Main Park over the days leading up to New Year's. Trains of crews were lapping hard all weekend, and the tricks popping off everywhere, providing a clear indication that all the heavy-hitters were prepping hard for the upcoming contest circuit. The Frends owned the pipe, while locals like Greg Bretz and Lonnie Kauk held down home turf on the 55-foot bottom jump. Even though Eddie and Mason had the masses at their beck and call at the Canyon party, Eddie said the best part was "Seeing all our good friends and getting to ride during the days before and after the big party. Mammoth always has tons of activities going on whether it be in The Village or on the mountain. Parties, fireworks, bands, DJs , tons of stuff. And like I said, we have so many good friends in town for new years that it makes it really fun!" Speaking of The Village, there was also a pretty huge New Year's Eve party at Hyde Lounge. The place really made an effort to out-do the two floors and three stages at Canyon, and its fair to say they held their own, with enough sights, sounds, and questionable forms of fun that we'll just leave it at that. Check the place out during the next Big Winter Weekend at Mammoth January 14-16 as they host afterparties for the Volcom PBRJ and Handsome Furs concert.Read More

West Stokes' Steve Whitt named East football coach
Published: Friday, March 1, 2013 at 6:34 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 1, 2013 at 6:34 p.m.
EAST FLAT ROCK — Defensive coordinator Steve Whitt helped turn around the football program at West Stokes 10 years ago, culminating with the 2-AA state championship title in 2011.
This time, he's taking over a program that's no stranger to success.
Whitt was formally introduced Friday evening as the new head football coach at East Henderson. He replaces longtime coach Brett Chappell, who left East to take over at Pisgah back in January.
Chappell had guided the Eagles to four conference championships in his eight years as head coach.
"I talked to Brett last week, and he congratulated me and said he believes I could take East to the next level. I have the utmost respect for Coach Chappell. He did a tremendous job here, and I want to see no lapse in that success. I want to just continue to build on that success that's been here before," Whitt, who has served as defensive coordinator at West Stokes since 2009, said.
From 2003-09, he was the offensive line coach and the assistant offensive coordinator for the Wildcats.
"Me and a colleague of mine took over the program that had won just four games in the first four years of the school," Whitt said. "We've made the playoffs every year, except that first year together."
East Principal Matt Gruebmeyer said the school had several quality candidates to choose from, but in the end, Whitt's success and his strong character were the deciding factors.
"I talked with the West Stokes principal, and he said Whitt was the big reason the team won the state title two years ago," Gruebmeyer said. "Coach Whitt has quite a story to tell, too. His father died when he was young, so he was raised by a single mom. I believe that builds a lot of character right there."
Whitt was a high school football standout at Surry Central and had committed to the University of North Carolina.
"The next day after committing, he broke his leg and Carolina withdrew the offer. He went on to play at Lenoir-Rhyne, and Clemson wanted him. The year he was getting ready to go to Clemson, the entire coaching staff at Clemson was fired," Gruebmeyer said.
Although the bad luck seemed to be following him, Whitt graduated from Lenoir-Rhyne and went on to Greensboro College, where he graduated with honors in 2000.
Whitt takes over a program that is losing 24 seniors to graduation, including three Division I signees: quarterback Seth Owen (UNC Pembroke), wide receiver Steffon Hill (Western Carolina) and tight end Tyler Sexton (Western Carolina).
"I know I have a lot of big linemen returning, and that's a huge part of the offense. If you have big boys up front, you are going to win some ballgames," he said.
The status of three juniors is still uncertain. Matt Bishop, who led East in rushing last year with 1,363 yards and 16 touchdowns, Wesley Ponder and Tyler Garren were charged with second-degree rape on Dec. 19. They are scheduled to appear in Henderson County Superior Court on March 25.

AUSTIN (February 1, 2013)--Gov. Rick Perry called Friday for increasing the number of public charter schools in Texas and lauded a voucher plan.
Perry told members of the State Board of Education Friday, "in terms of philosophy, this is where the rubber meets the road."
He said more students should be able to leave traditional campuses for charter schools.
Current law caps licenses to operate charters statewide at 215.
Perry also repeated his previous support for "scholarships," or vouchers allowing parents in poor performing school districts to use public money to send their children to private schools.
The governor said all high school students need increased exposure to technical training on everything from engineering to veterinary science.
That leads to "stable, good paying" jobs.
"Texas' academic future must be built with the flexibility necessary to serve those different students, producing workers ready to step into any occupation or role necessary," Perry said.
"That future will, by necessity, involve more public charter schools which offer parents a tuition-free alternative to their neighborhood school," he said.
"It's also time to introduce scholarship programs that give students a choice, especially those who are locked into low-performing schools," he said.
"At the same time, we have to continue encouraging teachers and administrators in traditional schools to produce excellent students."
