Senators debate school safety bill
School safety legislation that would provide crisis training for school employees who are designated to carry concealed handguns on campus was debated Tuesday by the Senate Education Committee. The measure by Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, would provide state funding for a training program that would be offered to any public schools in the state – including charter schools – that do not have their own police or security officers. The proposal is intended to supplement existing law, which allows school districts to designate certain employees with a concealed handgun license to carry a weapon on campus to protect students. Just a few rural districts in the state have utilized the law.
Patrick said his bill was made necessary by school shootings in recent years, notably the massacre of 26 children and adults at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut last December. Patrick said the legislation would enable school employees who are authorized to carry handguns to better protect children on their campus. The measure would not affect the 180 school districts in Texas, that have their own police force to patrol schools. The Texas Department of Public Safety would help develop the training program, which would be offered to school employees through concealed handgun license instructors. State officials said the training would be about 16 hours in addition to what is now required to receive a handgun license. As many as 17,000 school employees could be trained under the plan.
DPS Director Steven McCraw told the Senate panel that there currently are not enough police officials to protect all schoolchildren across the state. In a situation where a gunman enters a campus, he said, "There is not enough time and not enough police officers to get there" in the early stages of the incident. But he also emphasized that school employees designated to carry handguns should put their weapons away as soon as police officers arrive on the scene and "hold their hands in the air" to take themselves out of harm's way. Some senators questioned the wisdom of spending nearly $10 million on the program when schools have other pressing needs. But Patrick responded that it was small amount to pay to protect children, especially in light of the billions of dollars spent on public schools in Texas. One teacher group spoke in opposition to the measure, which was left pending in the committee.

Mendon Parks Commissioner Joseph Flaherty Pays $1,000 Fine
For Using his Position to Get his Son a Junior Camp Counselor Position
According to the Disposition Agreement, the Mendon Parks Department provides a summer camp for residents 12 years old and younger at a cost of $150 per week. Junior counselors, age 13 to 15, attend camp unpaid, receive free lunch every day and gain valuable experience that could lead to a paid senior counsel position in the future. In early 2005, the Mendon Parks Commission limited the number of junior counselors to 10. Flaherty was not a member of the Commission when this decision was made.
Flaherty's 15-year-old son, who had served as a junior counselor in 2003 and 2004, was one of 25 applicants for the 10 junior counselor openings. He was not selected. Once Flaherty was re-elected to the Parks Commission, he expressed his concerns about the number of junior counselors and the hiring process. The Parks Commission, at a meeting at which Flaherty did not attend, voted to keep the number of junior counselors at 10. On Monday, July 11, 2005, Flaherty brought his son to the camp and told the newly appointed camp director that his son was there to be a junior counselor that week and for two additional weeks. Flaherty's son attended the camp as a junior counselor for at least 10 days during these three weeks.
Section 23(b)(2) of the conflict law prohibits a public employee from using or attempting to use his position to secure for himself or others an unwarranted privilege of substantial value not properly available to similarly situated individuals. By bringing his son to camp and telling the director his son was there as a junior counselor, Flaherty used his Commissioner position to get his son an unwarranted privilege, attendance at camp as a junior counselor.
"Being an elected member of a board or commission is a privilege and an opportunity to serve the public interest," said Executive Director Peter Sturges. "It does not entitle a public official to gain special benefits such as his child' attendance at camp in violation of his own commission's vote."

"Revolution" Ends, "TMNT/Batman:TAS" Begins in IDW's November 2016 Solicitations
Comic Books
There's a nice, if too-short, video interview with graphic designer, author and comics writer Chip Kidd conducted last month at AGI Open London and which he discusses book-jacket design — he's behind those for Jurassic Park, The Secret History and Black Hole, among countless others — and, yes, his lifelong obsession with Batman (first documented in 1996's Batman Collected).
Of course, Kidd isn't merely a fan of the Dark Knight: He teamed with artist Dave Taylor on the 2012 graphic novel Batman: Death by Design.
"I've written a Batman graphic novel. That's a completely different thing," Kidd says in the video. "That's the most fun, because you're adding to the legacy of the character, and it's challenging because after 75 years, it's like, what do you do that hasn't been done, or that you feel you haven't seen."
He might have a common name, but he's got an uncommon talent. British artist Dave Taylor is working on his childhood hero Judge Dredd for 2000AD, and on his blog he recently revealed a great unpublished cover he had in mind for Batman: Death by Design, the 2012 graphic novel he collaborated on with Chip Kidd called Batman: Death by Design. The piece, which Taylor calls a "feel sample," designed to convey how the book might look.
The final cover featured a more marketing-friendly headshot of Batman, but this unpublished gem deserves to be seen.
Last Wednesday saw the release of Batman: Death by Design, a new graphic novel by Chip Kidd, writer and publication designer for the project, and artist Dave Taylor. Kidd has a rich background in designing book jackets and graphic novel projects, including Mythology: The DC Comics Art of Alex Ross, Schulz and Peanuts, Jurassic Park, the Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again collection and many more. He also is a novelist and a musician, and even helped write an episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Taylor, meanwhile, has been drawing comics for a few decades now, having worked on Force Works, World's Finest, The Shadow of the Bat, Tongue*Lash and Judge Dredd, among many others
Here's a description of the plot, as written by CBR's Jeffrey Renaud in an introduction to an interview with Kidd:
Set in the 1930s, Death by Design explores Gotham as it undergoes one of the most expansive construction booms in the city's history. Inspired by two real world events — the demolition of the original Pennsylvania Station in 1963 and the fatal construction crane collapses in midtown Manhattan of 2008 — Kidd asks what if, despite the years separating the incidents, they were somehow connected? And what if they happened in Gotham City, during a glorious golden age when a caped crusader protected its streets?
So what did folks think about it? Here are a few opinions from around the 'net:
Stefan Fergus, Civilian Reader: "Before picking this up, I had only seen one preview page, and I was really intrigued by the style and story – it looked gloomy and atmospheric, which are two things I've always associated with Batman. As it turns out, my initial impressions were right on the money, and I'm really glad I bought this – this is a great detective/investigative story, rendered in some truly wonderful artwork. Very impressive."
Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy at our local comic shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a splurge item.
Check out Diamond's release list or ComicList, and tell us what you're getting in our comments field.
Chris Arrant
If I had $15, I'd start things out with Wolverine and the X-Men #11 (Marvel, $3.99). I was worried this series' intersection with Avengers Vs. X-Men might put this book in a tailspin, but from the preview it looks copacetic. Aaron has real amazing grips on these characters despite being less than a dozen issues in, and Nick Bradshaw has quickly come from being a surprising follow-up to Chris Bachalo to arguably being more in line with the book than Bachalo himself. Next up for me would be Walking Dead #98 (Image, $2.99), the low march toward #100. After that I'd get FF #18 (Marvel, $2.99) for something arguably better than its parent book Fantastic Four. I hope this title lives on past Hickman's run on the book, because it's succeeded in being more than the stereotypical kids team book. After that, I'd snap up Supercrooks #3 (Marvel/Icon, $3.99). Leinil Yu is on a real high here, doing art that goes up against his great High Roads and Silent Dragon era work. Mark Millar's story is really optimum Millar-style work, but Yu's storytelling and rendering here are the best in some time.
If I had $30, I'd buy one additional thing: Empowered, Vol. 7 (Dark Horse, $16.99). Adam Warren has really blossomed since his days doing Dirty Pair, and Empowered is a great second act showing the seedy side of superheroes. Adding to that, Adam Warren keeps up a great online presence over on DeviantArt and releases all sorts of magnificent process sketches to go along with the book.
If I could splurge, I'd spend my grocery money this week on Batman: Death By Design (DC, $24.99). Like some sort of Mister X meets Dark Knight crossover, this book is an interesting work especially in contrast with the day-to-day of DC with New 52. I still think of Chip Kidd more as a designer than a writer despite reading his first novel, but I hope this breaks that in my mind and allows me to see him for both his creative avenues.
Conventions | Heidi MacDonald reports that the organizers of San Diego Comic Con are tightening up on badges with measures that include matching the name on the badge to the user's ID to prevent counterfeiting and illegal resale. Amusingly, you don't have to go too far down the comment thread to see someone blaming Twilight fans. [The Beat]
Legal | Canadian artist Craig Wilson didn't make it to this weekend's Phoenix Comicon because U.S. Customs and Border Protection turned him away, saying he needed a work permit to sell comics at his Artist Alley table. Not only that, Wilson was also thumb printed and his car was searched. He said the customs agents even sent a notice to the other border crossings in case he tried to enter the country somewhere else. "I'm paying my own table at the con, hotel, meals, drinks …" Wilson said. "I was going to inject close to $2000.00 dollars into the very economy I was supposedly threatening." [boardguy]
Conventions | Phoenix Comicon kicks off today, drawing an anticipated 35,000 to 40,000 attendees to the Phoenix (Arizona) Convention Center. Comics guests include Brett Booth, Jim Cheung, Garth Ennis, David Finch, Kathryn Immonen, Stuart Immonen, Andy Kuhn, Francis Manapul, David Lapham, Bob Layton, Dan Parent, George Perez, Billy Tucci and Ethan Van Sciver.

The sci-fi site io9.com has a sneak peek at Chip Kidd's new graphic novel Batman: Death by Design, which focuses on Batman's relationship to the physical structures of Gotham City. 2000AD artist Dave Taylor illustrates the story, which involves a series of construction-site mishaps that occur during Gotham City's building boom. Says Kidd:
I started thinking about living and working in New York, and one of the great tragedies was the destruction of the original Pennsylvania Station in 1963, because it was a beautiful building needlessly torn down. As somebody who has to use the modern Penn Station, it's a horrible, stifling thing, after they threw it in the basement of Madison Square Garden. And there were these Manhattan crane collapses in the spring of 2008. I thought, "How could these two things possibly be related?" Batman is very much about architecture, as he uses the buildings as transportation and defense. Great Batman stories always incorporate architecture in some way, but I hadn't seen a story that particularly dealt with that.
I can't agree more about Penn Station, and it's interesting that Kidd picks up on something we are all aware of and makes it explicit. Check out one of the pages below, and more at i09. The book is due out May 30.
Since the March solicitations kick off the back half of the New 52's first year, it's probably worth noting that the whole line remains unchanged: no "midseason replacements" like Justice Society, but no cancellations either. If I hear relieved sighs from OMAC and Men of War, certainly Dan DiDio and Jim Lee have to be pleased generally that they've gotten this far with the 52 intact.
Well, pleased or stubborn, I suppose. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.
Ahem. Away we go…!
One of my pet peeves about the New-52 is the sense that it lacks a meaningful "history." For at least the last few decades, a reader might not have known exactly what had happened or when, but s/he could tell that these characters hadn't just fallen off the turnip truck. I say this because the solicits for Justice League #7 and Flash #7 both allude to their books' untold backstories. With Justice League, we'll learn about membership turnover and other details of the five years between the League's debut and today. (To be sure, some of that has already been alluded to in the League's previous present-day appearances, like JL Dark #1.)

Discussion in 'Racquets' started by mfa81, Nov 21, 2006.
Why babolat's pros are using PC instead of APC ? There is no pro using APC...
Pros commonly avoid a racquet if they feel their game would suffer as a consequence of using it.
I've also noticed that pros use the Babolat PC (or others) and don't seem to be using the Babolat APC. I'm no pro and the APC fits my game well so I stuck with it.

More About:
In a time when cotton has been relegated to back seat status for most Mississippi producers, Coley Little Bailey Jr., and his father, Coley, still grow just one crop: cotton.
This year, they've got 2,700 acres on three farms in Yalobusha and Grenada counties in the north central area of the state.
"We've grown grains in the past," says Coley Jr., "but as everything related to crop production became more expensive, Dad felt it was just too risky to grow dryland corn and soybeans in the hills where we farm. Cotton has the genetic ability to do better under adverse conditions.
"When we were growing grains, there were years when we'd make only 80 bushels of corn and 20 bushels of soybeans, but the cotton would pull through with 1,000 pounds or better.
"We've just felt that if we were going to have a chance at hitting a home run in dryland hill farming, it would be with cotton. We still believe that."
"When everybody jumped into corn a few years ago, we elected to stay all cotton. We didn't have any combines, grain trucks, or storage facilities, which would've required a substantial investment, and we feel more comfortable with cotton. We've got two 6-row pickers, boll buggies, module builders, and all the support equipment for cotton.
"Our landlords have all been very cooperative in agreeing that year-in, year-out cotton is the best option on their land."
Of the land they farm, 2,000 acres are rented, the rest owned; 1,500 acres are near the Grenada, Miss., airport and industrial park, where the Baileys have farm headquarters; a 150-acre farm is 5 miles away; and the balance is 12 miles away, near Coffeeville in Yalobusha County.
Coley Jr., who is 37, and has an ag economics degree from Mississippi State University, is the third generation farmer on his father's side of the family, the fifth on his mother's side.
"It's all I've ever done," he says. "I've never wanted to do anything else. I grew up in a farming environment, with my father and grandfather. When my grandfather retired, we bought part of his share of the farming operation; when he died, we bought the rest. Now, it's a 50/50 operation with my father and me."
With five other area farmers, they also own Yalobusha Gin, located between Coffeeville and Oakland.
"Our group bought the gin in 1992," says Coley Jr. "It was a co-op gin, with 30 shareholders, and had got to the point that only one of them was still growing cotton. They ginned 2,700 bales in 1991; the next year, we ginned 14,000.
This year, we expect to gin cotton from 7,500 acres, up from 6,000 last year. The most we've ever ginned was 25,000 bales from 14,000 acres.
"Exceptionally good cottonseed prices last year were an added bonus for the gin operation, and they're holding up well this year."
Despite a rocky start in this year's cold, wet spring, he says, "The cotton's doing well and we think we have a chance for a good crop — there aren't that many years when we've got enough moisture mid-August to finish the crop; usually we're begging for a rain. We're also hoping the big reduction in acres this year will bring stronger prices."
Coley Jr. says, "We've planted Deltapine 555 since the day it came out, and it has performed really well for us. We have had really good relationships with their field reps, Woody Woodson and Rod Spinks, and last year we planted 12-acre plots for three of their Class of 2009 varieties, 0920, 0924, and 0935.
"Results were outstanding — we harvested 3 bales per acre from the 0920 and 0924 plots and 3.33 bales per acre on the 0935. That compares to 2.2 bales per acre for the 555 on the rest of the farms.
"This year, we have 75 percent of our acres in 0949, 20 percent in 0935, and about 300 acres that we can furrow irrigate are in 0924. We're really excited about the performance of these new varieties.
"We have 18-acre test plots this year for three of their Class of 2010 varieties, and they're all looking quite good."
"Two-thirds of our crop was planted April 24-29. Then it started raining April 30 and we weren't able to get back in the fields to finish planting until May 21. In the interim, we got 19 inches of rain, and colder than normal temperatures.
"With the cold, wet soils, just to be safe, we used a full rate of Uniform fungicide in-furrow, and now I'm glad we did, because I think it saved us. Our consultant, Ty Edwards, who also is our gin manager, couldn't believe how well it grew off under the conditions we had.
"We went through some boll shed during the heavy July rains (9 inches from the 14th through the 31st) and cloudy weather, and got an aerial applicator to help us catch up with spraying."
A key component of their cotton program, says Coley Jr., is frequent scouting.
"Several years ago, at a meeting, a grower was talking about how he had his cotton checked three days a week. 'It costs a bit more,' he said, 'but I know more about what's going on with the crop and, if there's a problem developing, I can act more quickly.'
"That made an impression on me, and we've done it ever since. It gives us peace of mind to know our consultant is out there every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, from planting to defoliation, staying on top of what's happening in the crop. If he finds anything, we can get on it immediately. Our dealer can have chemicals here within 10 minutes or so and we can have the Hi-Boy rolling in a short while.
"Conversely, by monitoring the crop so closely, we often are able to delay or hold off on an application, which saves money."
Both Coley Jr. and his father are pilots and have a Super Cub airplane they use to do aerial checks of the farms.
"Dad has been flying for many years and has owned several planes. In my last year at Mississippi State, I started flying lessons, and my graduation present was the training necessary to get my pilot's license in 1994. Since then, I've added an instrument rating.
"In addition to the Super Cub, we have a Mooney, which we use for travel. Dad, who also serves as chairman of the Grenada Economic Development Association and has other business interests, flies extensively all over the U.S., and has even been to Alaska."
With the Bt/Flex cotton varieties, and the elimination of the boll weevil through the eradication program, they don't have that many insect problems, he says.
"This year, it has been mainly plant bugs, and they've been picking up as corn fields dry down. We'll spray for them maybe three times a year; fortunately, we don't have the problem with them that many Delta growers have. We've seen quite a few bollworm moths, but thus far we haven't hit the threshold for overspraying."
The Baileys have been supporters of Mississippi's boll weevil eradication program, and says Coley Jr., "A lot of people wouldn't be in the cotton business today if it weren't for the success of the eradication program.
"In the years when we had to fight the weevil, we'd spray 18 to 24 times a season. With Mississippi declared weevil-free, the $3 per acre assessment we pay now is a real bargain.
"It has been an extremely well-run program, and the producers and organizations and agencies that have been involved in it are certainly due praise for all they've done to eliminate this pest."
The crop is going to be somewhat later than normal this year, Coley Jr. says, due to the cold, wet spring and delayed planting. We normally will start picking around Sept. 15; this time, I'm expecting it'll be the end of September or early October.
"We usually have plenty of cotton picking power with our own machines, but this year we'll get some help from John Grant, a family friend who does custom harvesting. He's done harvest work for us since 1978 (from 1978-1990, we didn't even own a picker) and we know we can depend on him. We'll also harvest some for a neighbor, so we'll end up picking about 3,500 acres total.
"All our marketing is handled by Staplcotn at Greenwood, Miss. We have confidence in them to get the best price available, and that frees us up to concentrate all our efforts on producing the best crop possible."
Something unique in the Bailey operation took two years of working with environmental agencies and the huge AbitibiBowater paper mill at Grenada, Miss., to bring to fruition.
"We worked out an agreement with them to take leftover ash from their paper production process ash and apply it to our farmland. This covers all our fertility needs except nitrogen.
"We apply three tons of ash per acre with a chicken litter spreader, which gives us the equivalent of 1 ton of lime, 120 units of potash, and 50 units of phosphates.
"When the picker leaves the field, we start applying the ash. We bought a truck, spreader, and front-end loader to facilitate the process. We're stockpiling ash now for the fall/winter season.
"We soil sample every year and can supplement with commercial fertilizer, if we need to — but thus far, the ash has been adequate. We still use 130 units of 32 percent N-Sol for nitrogen requirements.
"It has been a win/win situation for the paper mill and for us, and it really has been a blessing in weathering high fertilizer prices.
"We had to get the Department of Environmental Quality and the Environmental Protection Agency to come in and test soils and do other testing, and the paperwork took two years, but 7,500 tons of ash per year that was just going into landfills is now providing fertility for our crops."
In recognition of his contributions to the state's agriculture, Coley Jr. was named recipient of the Farm Bureau Young Farmer of Year achievement award in 2002. He has served as chairman of Farm Bureau's Cotton Committee for four years and is president of Yalobusha County Farm Bureau. He and his wife, Jody, have two children, a son, Cole, and a daughter, Mackenzie.

Small enough for computer bag. Secure - - - doesn't pop open like plastic weekly & monthly pill trays do. Fits 42 pills (6/day) for the week of travel. Pretty colors and nice click feel.
I would like to see additional tray configs for AM/PM dosages or more compartments. I have one in each color and travel with two at a time to accommodate the AM/PM dosage.
... would also like to purchase extra zuup cartridges to pre-fill instead of the pill trays or bottles.
ZUUP is a new product for managing your health, and seems like a good idea. Product looks great. I really want to have my nutrition and medication filled with ZUUP so I can take it anywhere.

Dynaminc ADF Pages Construction with WebCenter's Resource Catalog and Composer
By Shay Shmeltzer-Oracle on Mar 09, 2012
This is the third part of my "WebCenter for ADF Developer" series of posts (see post 1 and post 2).
This entry highlights why this product/features are called WebCenter PORTAL - with this set of WebCenter capabilities your ADF application gets a set of end-user customization capabilities that blur the line between a "regular" application and what used to be one of the core value propositions of traditional portals. Once you start using this capability your end user will be able to create new pages in their applications and add content to those pages at runtime.
As you'll see in the demo, this involve exposing regular ADF taskflows through the WebCenter resource catalogs, and then using the WebCenter Portal composer tags and runtime capabilities to add and customize pages at runtime.
One thing that probably should have gone into the demo also is showing how to enable this dynamic page editing on existing ADF page - to do that you can use the WebCenter JSF component called pe:pageCustomizable and in it put a cust:panelCustomizable component. You can see this if you look at the source of the home.jspx page that comes with your WebCenter Portal application template.
So at the end of the day you can create a page that has this type of structure:
<pe:pageCustomizable id="pageCustomizable1">
<cust:panelCustomizable id="panelCustomizable1" layout="scroll"/>
<f:facet name="editor">
<pe:pageEditorPanel id="pep1"/>
Then when you press the magic keyboard combination ctrl+shift+E your page will switch into the runtime editing mode. (or you can add a button that will switch to that editing mode by adding the pe:changeModeButton component to your page.)

My intense fascination with Michael Apted's 'Up' documentaries
I saw the trailer this week for a movie I've been waiting nearly seven years to see — Michael Apted's "56 Up." It's the latest installment in his classic documentary series chronicling the lives of a dozen or English schoolchildren, every seven years starting at age 7.
The conceit of the first film, 1964′s "7 Up," was explicitly stated in a voiceover: "Why do we bring these children together? Because we want to get a glimpse of England in the year 2000. The union leader and the business executive of the year 2000 are now 7 years old." We met the hardscrabble Tony from the East End, who talked about the importance of fighting and how he wanted to be a jockey. And we met the highborn John, who turned his nose up at the accents of poor people, and the rural Nick, who attended a one-room schoolhouse and already displayed a contemplative demeanor.
There is something both magical and heartbreaking about watching a group of children grow into teenagers and then adults. Seeing those personalities develop and watching how they handles life's ups and downs, in seven-year installments, has been fascinating. There are the expected developments — marriages, children, divorces — but also the unforeseen — mental illness and homelessness, forays into politics and science, the blurring of class divisions. And there is something in these examined lives that help your examine your own.
On Friday, The New York Times premiered a trailer for the latest installment, "56 Up." It will be released in the States in January (after already airing this year in Britain).
If you've never seen the documentaries, you have time to catch up. (Pro tip: They're all available now on Netflix Instant.) If you devour the series as I once did, you'll wonder how it is anyone can wait seven years between installments.

President's Welcome
I am beginning my third year as President of Thomas More College and am invigorated by our mission and new Strategic Plan to Value More, Engage More and Thrive More. We are celebrating our ranking as the #1 college for return on investment in the state of Kentucky by PayScale, Inc. for 2015 and 2016. The report solidifies decades of work by our students, alumni, faculty and administration and promises a bright future for anyone who becomes a Saint.
The start of the 2015-2016 school year marked one of the largest classes of incoming students in the College's history, as well as the greatest number of students living in residence halls. Students are taking advantage of the new academic majors in Athletic Training, Laws, and the Marine Biology track. Students are signing up for the women's lacrosse and bowling teams (men's | women's). Our new co-curricular programs are thriving. In their second year on campus, the Marching Saints have already more than doubled their size. Each student has the books they need for class due to an innovative textbook initiative. I invite you to learn more about these new initiatives that are shaping the future of Thomas More College. We will utilize co-curricular and extra-curricular programs to enhance the educational experience of our students. We want students who are passionate about their education and their out-of-classroom endeavors.
I believe you will love it here, as I do. You will receive a superior education taught by dedicated faculty who share your desire to receive a quality education in a values-based environment. For those considering Thomas More College, I invite you to join us at this special time in our history as we grow and expand on the traditions that have made us a top-tier regional college. For our current students, I hope you are ready for the excitement exploring new initiatives and opportunities that will broaden your educational opportunities.
As one of 10 Diocesan colleges in the country, we are proud of our academic tradition and the mark that our alumni are leaving on the world. We have much to offer, from the nationally recognized STEM-focused Biology Field Station on the Ohio River, to the Blue Ash satellite campus in northern Cincinnati, and the Mary, Seat of Wisdom Chapel which is the centerpiece of our campus in Crestview Hills, Ky.
We will continually strive to provide an affordable, quality education as we prepare our students to become the leaders of tomorrow. We continue to affirm that a Catholic education grounded in the liberal arts (which fosters critical thinking skills, communication skills and ethical decision making) is the best preparation for life and career.
I am the product of an institution just like Thomas More College and because of that transformative experience; I have dedicated my career to promoting and advancing small Catholic liberal arts colleges that educate "For Your Whole Life!"
God Bless and Go Saints!
David A. Armstrong, J.D.
President and Chief Executive Officer
Thomas More College

This soccer drill is an extension of the previous drill. This time attackers from both lines will go at the same time. The goal for the defender is to keep the ball carrierr to the outside and make it tough for them to make a pass to the other attacker. The attacker should be trying to cross the ball or take a shot on net.
This socer drill is focused on defenders maintaining good defensive positioning. The goal is for the defenders to force the attackers to the outside and not allow a shot from a good angle. To set up the soccer drill place two lines on each side of the net as shown. The inside line are the defenders and the outside line are attackers.
This soccer drill is fun and competitive. Set up two nets about 30 - 40 yards apart depending on the age group. Try to use the center circle as the middle of the field or set up a circle of discs about the same size at the mid point of the nets. Each plyaer will start with a ball on the goal line at the side of their net.
This soccer drill has to be executed with precision passes. Footwork, communication, accuracy, and touch are key for this soccer drill to function. Set up the drill as shown in the diagram. Each pass should be a one touch pass except for the final pass that is around the cones. On every pass the players should call for the ball and move after they make the pass.
This is a soccer passing drill that focuses on good control when receiving the pass. A minimum of two players are required and each player is set up within a box marked by 4 discs. The objective is for the players to make accureate passes, and while receiving the passes players need to maintain control of the ball within their box.
This is a really simple soccer drill that only requires two players and 1 ball. The players should be about 10 yards apart. The player with the ball starts the soccer drill by passing to the other player. After making the pass they run towards the other player as though they are applying defensive pressure.
This soccer drill is another variation of the Argentina Circle passing drills. It requires players to be in groups of three with one soccer ball per group. In this variation, all three players start on the outside of the circle. One player starts with the ball and dribbles to the center of the circle and then makes a pass to one of the other two players.
This soccer drill emphasizes the ability to read the movements of your teammates and make quick and accurate passes based off of those movements. 3 players are involved in each repetition of this soccer drill. Set up four discs as shown in the diagram at about the top of the box. The line with balls should be about 10 yards out.
This is a variation of the first Spanish Through Ball Soccer Drill. In this variation the forward checks off the defender by running forwards and then back to the ball carrier. The ball carrier then passes the ball and runs through the flags or cones into space.
This is the first of several variations to this soccer drill. Set up three cones, discs, or flags as shown in the diagram. One line of players is set about 10 yards in front of the passer. The second player is placed in line with the flags in an on-side position. A third player is in goal, this player can also rotate through the drill if desired.

Solutions for Chapter 6
The chapter that we have here focuses on how resources are allocated to various projects that project managers encounter. Included in the chapter are various ways that these are allocated including the critical path method, resource loading, and more.
This question focuses on the Lab Results, Inc. Here Sam G. Farshe has a medical laboratory in Pittsburgh and has been asked to bid on a contract to do services for a hospital that is currently under renovation. For this question, do you think Sam's plan for the contract is feasible to do? Explain your reason why and also how you would handle it otherwise.
The plan that Sam wants to put into place basically adds more work onto the staff that is already at the firm without hiring anyone else. Since the contract is potentially very large for the hospital that will be renovated, this is a very risky move by Sam.
However, the best answer here is that it would not be a good idea for Sam to pursue it this way for three reasons. First, since there is little, if any, excess capacity at the current facility, how is he going to be able to process the additional orders that would come through? Since his staff is already near full capacity with the current load, this will break their backs so to speak. A second reason that it would blow up in his face is that he doesn't take into account vacations, personal, and sick time that the technicians may need or use during the project's duration. Since the technicians would almost have to work overtime straight through the four (4) month stretch, it may too much for them. Finally, the plan that he is proposing is air tight assuming that nothing can go wrong. Murphy's Law of wisdom here should note that if something will go wrong, it will. Thus, equipment issues and increases in orders from existing clients must be added to the conversation here. Should he go through with this, quality will suffer dramatically and the ability to get timely shipments back to the hospital will also be in jeopardy.
Knowing that existing plan isn't too efficient, what is the best mode of action here for Sam to take? First off, Sam should rework the project plan so that additional resources are available to complete the influx of work for the hospital over the next several months. A second thing that he could do is to use it as an opportunity to build excess capacity should business increase in the future once the project has commenced.
By doing these and focusing on the costs associated with additional resources instead of having to dedicate the cash to expensive overtime (which is more than like nearly $30.00 per hour with benefits or more), this would not only reduce the project costs but also increase the chance to meet the quality and time demands of the project.

Williams had loose particles that had been bothering him flushed out.
The Chargers have their bye this weekend, and "with a little luck," Williams will be able to play when the Chargers host Houston on Oct. 28, coach Norv Turner said.
"Based on what our doctors said, it would have been hard for him to keep going," Turner said a day after the Chargers beat the archrival Oakland Raiders for the eighth straight time, 28-14 behind LaDainian Tomlinson's four touchdowns. "That's why we've rested him the last couple of weeks. We hoped we could get to this point; we did. I think this is really going to help him be ready to play at the same level he's been playing, over the next 10 weeks."
Williams has made every start this year, but has been held out of practice the last few weeks.
Hardwick, meanwhile, was having an MRI on his injured right foot. He was hurt on the seventh play from scrimmage, and the team said Sunday he had a sprain.
"There's concern," said Turner, who added Hardwick could be out three to four weeks.
Backup Cory Withrow played admirably in place of Hardwick.
"You can't say enough for Cory Withrow," Turner said. "I don't think he played a snap at center, then goes in and really played well. It's just a luxury when you have a guy who's capable of going in and doing those things, because obviously center, it goes a lot further than the physical things you have to do. Mentally, there's so many things you have to do, particularly when you're playing an eight-man-front team."
Withrow is an eight-year veteran in his second season in San Diego.
Turner also said wide receiver Eric Parker is getting a second opinion on his right big toe. Parker broke the toe during a June minicamp, and had surgery on it in early August. The Chargers said at the time they expected Parker to be out up to 10 weeks.
"We need to have a resolution on this at some point, soon, because if Eric's not going to make it back, we have to look and see if there's another direction," Turner said. "If he can make it back, we would love to get him back. This week, I think we'll have a little bit better feel, because we are being aggressive in seeing where he's at."

Chromium picolinate and conjugated linoleic acid: effects on diet and exercise-induced changes in metabolic and cardiovascular health indexes in overweight women (abstract). Journal of Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology. 20:A592. Technical Abstract: This study assessed the combined effects of chromium picolinate (CP) and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on energy-restriction and exercise-induced changes in body composition, glucose metabolism, lipid-lipoprotein profile, and blood pressure in overweight and obese, pre-menopausal women. For 12 wk, 35 women (age 36±1 y (mean±SEM); BMI 28.0±0.5 kg/m2) consumed a 500 kcal/d energy deficit diet and performed 30 min of moderate exercise 5x/wk. The women also ingested either CP-CLA (S, 400 µg Cr, 2.4 g CLA, n=19) or placebo (P, <0.1 µg Cr, 2.4 g canola oil, n=16). Urinary Cr excretion increased 22-fold, plasma fatty acid 18:2 (c9,t11) content increased 79%, and 18:2 (t10,c12) became detectable in S, and were unchanged in P. Over time, VO2max increased (S 1.9'±.3; P 3.9± 1.5 mL•kg-1•min-1), and body weight (S -2.6±0.5; P -2.5±0.5 kg) and % body fat (S -2.4±0.4, P -2.2±0.5 %) decreased, with no differences between groups. All other indexes of glucose metabolism (fasting plasma glucose, insulin and hemoglobin A1c), lipid-lipoprotein profile (serum total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triacylglycerol), and blood pressure (sitting systolic and diastolic) were not changed over time or influenced by S. These results suggest that chromium picolinate and conjugated linoleic acid supplementation does not affect diet and exercise-induced changes in weight, body composition, and indexes of metabolic and cardiovascular health in young, overweight women.

Love, jealously, bitching all in Bigg Boss house
Of course, her admirer Pravesh Rana without wasting time complements her. But the increasing attraction between Pravesh and Claudia is not taken down well with Vindu and Raju. Looks like insecurity is creeping in! Are we expecting a love triangle? Or in this case a love quadrangle?
Finally Bhakhtyar and Pravesh break the ice and talk like boys! Pravesh even apologizes to Shamita Shetty for misunderstanding her. Rohit and Raju bitch about Aditi ruining the task and that the luxury budget could be a dream. Will Aditi be able to do justice with her title?

text: Hi everyone, I'd be curious to hear from you how you think sci-fi has affected your life. Let me give you an example: I fell in love with Dr. Who when I discovered it by chance one day, back in about 1985. Not only did it spark my curiosity about other worlds, life-after-death (regeneration?), time-travel, etc. But I believe on a deeper level I was inspired by the creativeness of it all. The doctor was always struggling to the end, to defeat the enemy. He had a strong sense of determinism: get the job done at all costs. He also had a playful, intellectual curiosity and willingness to learn, which is what true computer "hackers" have. See wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_(programmer_subculture)#History That "playful" spirit is something that has remained with me. Can a sci-fi character be a real-life role model? I know it can certainly be true! I'd like to write more, but I'll wait for now, to hear from you guys (and gals!) ... brian

Snowdrops on my mind…
January 8, 2013 by admin • 36 Comments
Snowdrops make my heart smile. I just love that sweet bell shaped flower that consists of small buds and three drooping snow-white petals with a bright green center. Growing up in Germany, I remember walking out into our garden at the end of January and finding these precious flowers nestled under a bush. Sometimes they would be covered by a layer of fresh fallen snow, that would not even hurt them. They are a hardy plant that will survive the winter.
In Germany these flowers are called Schneegloeckchen (Snowbells) and they grow abundantly in that type of climate. I know they grow in the northern parts of the US, not sure about Texas. I really miss seeing these little guys! Of course I say that every year. Sharing some sweet eye candy with you and some cute ideas on how to display Snowdrops should you be lucky enough to find them growing in your garden.
I hope these sweet Snowdrops brighten your day today!
Thank you so much for stopping by!

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WKYT) - The investigation of Richie Farmer for fraud and violations throughout his eight years as Agriculture Commissioner began on the request of the current Agriculture Commissioner: James Comer.
Within days of taking office in January 2012, Comer asked the state auditor to look into Richie Farmer's spending habits.
Comer spoke to WKYT's Tim Johnston about the audit and why he saw it was necessary.
He spoke of taking over in a "cloud of suspicion" -- and that from day on, he says his focus has been on transparency and moving forward.
"It's an unfortunate situation," he said.
According to Comer, things were a bit rocky before he ever took his seat as Kentucky's Agriculture Commissioner.
"I can't account for what he did as Ag Commissioner," Comer told us. "I can't defend what he did."
Uncovering Farmer's misdeeds all started with the transition team.
"They met with many of the former employees and many of the current employees of the Department of Agriculture," Comer said, describing the team's approach. "They raised some very serious concerns."
So serious, he called for an audit.
"Every bit of information they've requested, we've handed over," he said.
Comer says under Farmer's administration, employees were not held accountable. He called for swift action to fix that.
Of employees who were found to have violated the rules, he said, "We terminated most of those employees within the first 24 hours of my assuming this office."
Since he took office, he says he has replaced the management staff and created safeguards to avoid "repeating the same wrongdoings of the previous administration."
While some may think this was purely a political attack on a very popular Kentucky face, Comer says that couldn't be further from the truth. "I think that's a ridiculous assertion," he said. "I don't think anything political is behind the grand jury."
And his office keeps moving along..
"Everything we do in the Department of Agriculture is focused on doing what we can to help agriculture, not worrying about what happened during the Richie Farmer administration."
While some may find this indictment distracting, Comer insists this has not and will not be a distraction to his office.

Some people who live in the Poplar Springs Historic District are doing what they can to stop Dollar General from opening a new location there.
An online petition has been started. It's called called 'Stop Dollar General's Sabotage of a National Historic District in Meridian, Mississippi'. At least 130 people have signed it.
The organizers of the petition say they were actually against the moratorium, and would be O.K. with Dollar General, if it were built the right way.
"Everyone in this city would love to see this spot developed. We would," said Meridian resident Sarah Johnson. "This neighborhood would love to see this stuff developed. But any building here in this spot needs to respect the historic nature of everything around it."
The petition may be viewed and signed by going to change.org. A link is provided below.

Positions, record and controversies
Steve Cox was born June 26, 1945 in Memphis, Tennessee—the second son of Margaret and Jim Cox. Steve's distinguished career with the U.S. State Department began in 1964 with the humble position of clerk. Both his work and his schooling at George Washington University abruptly halted when he heeded the call of the military draft to serve in the U.S. Army from January 1967 to January 1969. His service included a year in Vietnam, for which he was awarded the Bronze Star medal for meritorious service. With his honorable discharge from military service, he resumed his career with the State Department.
In August 1971 Steve joined a restaurant development business in which his father was a partner. He trained as an operations manager and later became a construction coordinator. Steve completed an Associate of Arts degree program at Spartanburg Methodist College in May 1980. He returned to federal service with the State Department in December 1980 as a Passport Examiner. He became a Computer Equipment Analyst in March 1983 and a Computer Specialist (Database Manager/Administrator) in November 2000. When he retired in August 2003, his job title was Information Technology Specialist, responsible for managing quality assurance and monitoring data submissions for the Records Services Division with its links to domestic regional agencies and processing centers stateside and over a hundred consular posts worldwide. Steve's work garnered many outstanding performance awards, including the Meritorious Honor Award (1998), the Superior Honor Award (2003), and the Secretary of State's Career Achievement Award signed by Colin Powell (2003).
After his retirement in 2003, Steve and his wife, Nancy, moved from the Washington, D.C. area back to Nancy's hometown of Urbana, Illinois. Since then, Steve has been involved as a volunteer in service organizations such as a Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) and Meals on Wheels, as well as serving as an elder at McKinley Memorial Presbyterian Church. Although he was prohibited from being politically active when he was a federal employee, since retiring Steve has called, e-mailed and visited congressional offices in Washington, D.C., to express his opposition to the course our government is following on the war in Iraq. He is committed to making positive changes in Congress and our government.

Lagunitas is not exactly known for timid brews. Brown Shugga is, as they say, the result of a failed experiment with a batch of Barley Wine.
Pours a slightly hazy copper. Brown sugar and piney hops in the aroma. The brown sugar comes out even more after a sip. Very sweet, but the aggressive, pungent hops cut through to tame it. Big and very tasty, if not complex. Great balance between the hops and sugar, each keeping the other from overpowering. And checking in at 9.9% ABV, you'd never guess it's close to that strong while drinking it.

Learning Objectives: describe different policies around tobacco control in colleges in the Pacific Northwest.
Abstract: Objective. The objective of this four-year project is to decrease smoking onset among college students, increase smoking cessation among college students, and increase policies around the use, sale, and advertising of tobacco products on college campuses. In this presentation, we give an overview of the project and preliminary findings of interviews of key informants in 30 colleges in Washington and Oregon States. Methods. The study is a group-randomized trial of 30 colleges, matched into pairs, and randomized to intervention or control. For purposes of matching and for baseline data collection, six or more key informants from all participating colleges were asked questions regarding indoor/outdoor smoking restrictions, rules about smoking in campus housing, sales and advertising of tobacco on campus, tobacco promotion and sponsorship on campus, policies about smoking in Greek houses, and student health services practices around tobacco. Results. Preliminary results of the key informant survey will be reported, giving frequencies of policies, health services practices, and tobacco promotion activities. In addition, examples will be given of how the information gathered will be integrated into specific intervention activities. Discussion. The variability of the results will be discussed in the light of other recent studies on tobacco control policies in residential colleges. The session will conclude with a discussion of the importance of understanding the prevailing background in the participating colleges, so that an appropriate and meaningful intervention can be implemented.
This project is part of the State & Community Tobacco Control Interventions Research Initiative funded by the National Cancer Institute's Tobacco Control Research Branch.

Influences on MGMT
Influenced by MGMTBen: "I'd say [Oracular Spectacular] is influenced by a lot of things. We try to reference a lot of things we're influenced by in our music. It's weird, because a lot of time people don't get the references or think we're referencing other bands. We get a lot of comparisons to Ween, Muse and They Might be Giants, who are not really bands we listen to. So it's funny what we think we're influenced by and what people think we sound like — which is usually nothing like what we listen to."
They have described the music they like to listen to as "creep balls music," "gross music," "stonery," and "psychey."
Other bands the boys have listed as influences:
• Suicide
• Nine Inch Nails
• Led Zeppelin
• Neil Young
• Creedence Clearwater Revival
• Radiohead
• Loop
• Dead Meadow
• Of Montreal
• Chrome
• Spiritualized
• Spacemen 3
