Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
Dr. Susan Sommers joined the history department faculty in 1993. Her fields of specialization include the Enlightenment, Early Modern and Modern Britain, the Age of Empire, Historical Method and Colonial Latin America.
Her love of history stems from her childhood when many of her family vacations were to historical re-enactments and battlefields. "It is natural that I love history," she said.
Time has not weakened her love of history and research. It has only strengthened it. "It's really fun," she said. "I think as our scholarship matures, most academics find our own niche. We find something that intrigues us and keeps us intellectually stimulated. It brings spice to the classroom and makes our students interested."

Rated 1 out of 5 by young waterproof-total failure I bought this shoes returned within 2 weeks as water soaked through. after new pair of shoes and spraying extra water sealant, it only took less than few weeks, my feet were soaking wet less than ten second. When I returned to Dicks to exchange first one within two weeks, they gave me hard time, saying I have to go through Merrell for exchange. it is comfortable fit but I paid extra money for Gore-tex.

Have you been to Taxi? It's a gorgeous community in the heart of the RiNo Arts District of Denver and it's pretty wonderful!
All the amenities one place could boast…gorgeous pool, community garden, residential and office space…and then the people!
They are darn nice! My sister, Jennifer, happens to be one of those people and she helped the Denver Craft Ninjas throw a little party over at Taxi recently!
We dipped our toes in the pool and stared at this gorgeous sunset! The above ground pool constructed from shipping containers is the perfect place to linger on a warm late summer night.
And when we got hungry…we hit up Crazy Good Food for their awesome grilled cheese sandwiches and quesadillas! Nicer people are hard to find! If you're having an event of your own, hit them up!
And after all that fun, we got to settle down at the little outdoor theater and watch Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!
You know, Sarah Jessica Parker, Helen Hunt, Shannon Dougherty…and DANCING! Plus lots of 80's teen angst!
Perfect evening! Perfect event spent with lovely people! If you missed it…you missed out!
But maybe we'll plan something like this again and give you another chance!
Major thanks and appreciation to Taxi, Crazy Good Food, and Jennifer Hensley! You are amazing!

A process that's been more than a year in the making could change the face of junior hockey in Canada forever.
After working in anonymity for almost 14 months, the creation of a Canadian Hockey League Players Association, a de facto union to protect the interests of more than 1,300 junior hockey players across Canada, is close to complete.
The initial period will be pretty rough but I for one applaud this effort.

King Kekaulike High School has again made The Washington Post's list as one of the most academically challenging high schools in the nation.
The approximately 1,025-student public school was the only Maui County high school to be recognized in the "Challenge Index" released this month.
In the state rankings list, the Pukalani school was ninth out of the nine Hawaii public and private schools that made the cut. Topping the Hawaii list were the private Iolani and Punahou schools on Oahu.
Last year King Kekaulike also made the national index, as did Maui High School. But the Sabers were not included in this year's list.
The Challenge Index identifies schools that have done the best job in persuading students to take college-level courses and tests and preparing their students for college. It does not include magnet or charter schools that draw such a high concentration of top students that its average SAT or ACT score exceeds the highest average for any normal-enrollment school in the country.
"I'm very proud of this," said King Kekaulike Principal Susan Scofield on Saturday. "I'm really happy for the students and the teachers. It's really a validation of the effort they put in."
Scofield said that the recognition is also special as most honors for schools and their students are for athletics, arts and other extracurricular activities but there are not many that recognize academics.
The "America's Most Challenging High Schools" index ranks students through an index formula by using the number of college-level tests given at the school, in this case from 2012, divided by the number of graduates the same year. Last year, King Kekaulike had 235 graduates.
The Washington Post said that, with a few exceptions, those public schools that achieved a ratio of at least 1.000, meaning they had as many tests in 2012 as graduates, were qualified to be placed on the national list.
For the 2011-12 school year, only 9 percent of the approximately 22,000 U.S. public high schools managed to reach that standard, The Washington Post said.
The Pukalani school was ranked 1,966 out of 1,997 schools, according to The Washington Post's website.
The type of tests included in the formula are those for Advance Placement, International Baccalaureate and Advance International Certificate of Education programs, in which students may earn college credits.
The Advance Placement courses are the only ones available at King Kekaulike, Scofield said.
Asked what made her school successful in attracting students to take the rigorous AP courses and tests, Scofield said there is no official program or push to get students to take the college-level courses.
But she believes that some of the impetus for students wanting to take the AP classes is the result of a self-selection process in which students can find out what is expected of them in each course and can choose to take the course or not.
Although Scofield said she is not abreast on what is being done at other high schools, she said that, in the past, other high schools may have chosen to screen students before they were allowed to take Advanced Placement courses.
The screening could involve selecting students based on their grade-point averages.
But since the King Kekaulike's beginnings in the mid 1990s, Scofield said, school officials have been open to letting students figure out for themselves if they want to enroll in the college-type courses.
"We didn't want to have someone say 'yes' or 'no" to the students," she said. "To me, students are at the age they should know if this is something for them."
Scofield also believes that the Advancement Via Individual Determination, or AVID, program, a college-readiness program that targets middle-of-the-road students, has also encouraged students at her school to take college-level AP courses.
She said that the program encourages students who may not be thinking about college or are "on the fence" about furthering their education to consider college. At her school, part of the program has students taking one AP class. AVID is available at other schools as well.
King Kekaulike offers 10 different AP courses, which include world history, psychology, biology, physics, calculus, statistics, literature, composition, art history and student art.
Currently, sophomores, juniors and seniors are taking the courses, Scofield said, though some of the courses are open to freshmen.
Scofield likes the idea of having the younger students at the school try their hand at the tougher classes, noting that it could boost their confidence and skill level.
Scofield added that being one of the smaller schools on Maui probably helped King Kekaulike's chances at being placed on the index.
Having some financial aid to help with the costs of the AP tests is also an attractive motivator for some families, who otherwise could not afford to have a child take the exam and therefore would probably not let their child take the AP course in the first place, Scofield said.
The Washington Post's national index also provides some insights into the schools and notes that 47 percent of King Kekaulike's students qualify for federally subsidized lunches. The portion of the applicants for the subsidized lunches is a rough indicator of the school's poverty level.
Kekaulike also has an 80 percent four-year graduation rate and half of its graduating students attend four-year colleges, the index said.

U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., hit the ground running when he took the Senate seat from our state held so long and ably by the late Robert C. Byrd. During less than two years in the Senate, Manchin has proven time and time again the faith West Virginians placed in him was well-founded.
Mountain State residents need Manchin's dedication to principle rather than party in Washington. Voters in the Nov. 6 election should cast their ballots for Manchin in the U.S. Senate race.
Among Manchin's priorities is balancing the nation's budget and beginning the process of paying down our staggering $16 trillion debt. He has been a champion of enacting recommendations made by the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, sometimes known as the Simpson-Bowles panel. Solutions proposed by that bipartisan study involve a program that can really work to get our nation's fiscal house back in order.
In doing so, the senator believes, it is not necessary to endanger programs such as Social Security and Medicare, on which many West Virginians rely.
At the same time, some entitlement reform is imperative, Manchin emphasizes. Exploding costs for the Medicaid program must and can be controlled, he believes.
Our national debt amounts to more than $50,000 for every man, woman and child in the United States. Manchin is right to insist that more lawmakers worry about it.
A true "all of the above" energy policy - with coal playing a key role - is a necessity, Manchin has stressed. He understands that even as tens of thousands of West Virginians depend on mining-related jobs, tens of millions of Americans rely on reasonably priced electricity from coal-fired power plants.
In many other policy issues important not just to Mountain State residents but to the entire nation, Manchin has solid, achievable goals. Education reform, affordable health care, safeguarding the interests of our veterans and senior citizens and creation of good jobs are among his priorities.
Manchin has battled steadfastly against the partisan political bickering that often seems to block progress in Washington. He has opposed his party's president, Barack Obama, on key issues of importance to West Virginians. At the same time he stands up for the principles held by most Mountain State residents.
The Journal endorses Manchin for re-election to the U.S. Senate. He represents West Virginians well and, again, we urge voters in the Nov. 6 election to cast their ballots for him.

DailyTech previously covered startup LS9 Inc.'s efforts to genetically engineer microbes to produce synthetic fuels. After initial efforts to genetically modify both yeast and bacteria to produce long-chain hydrocarbons, they have since focused their efforts on a particular common bacterium -- E. Coli.
E. Coli is commonly found in feces, and the LS9 researchers have succeeded in a rather ironic goal -- genetically modifying the bacteria to excrete diesel fuel. After much research and genetic modification, LS9 says it has used a variety of common sugar metabolic pathways to force E. Coli to convert virtually any sugar-containing substance in part to carbon chains virtually indistinguishable with diesel.
The bacteria "poop" out this black gold, while using part of the sugar to fuel their growth and reproduction as well. The net result is that any carbon source can be turned into synthetic fuel by the economic bacteria.
Biochemist Stephen del Cardayre, LS9 vice president of research and development, says his company has come a long way. He states, "We started in my garage two years ago, and we're producing barrels today, so things are moving pretty quickly."
He explains the process of creating the microbes, stating, "So these are bacteria that have been engineered to produce oil. They started off like regular lab bacteria that didn't produce oil, but we took genes from nature, we engineered them a bit [and] put them into this organism so that we can convert sugar to oil."
While the microbes are currently only producing diesel fuel, they could easily be tuned to produce gasoline or jet fuel according to Mr. Cardayre. Best of all, the bacteria don't have to use simple sugars such as corn, a major criticism of the ethanol infrastructure. The increased demand for corn by the ethanol industry is accused of raising food prices. Instead they can use a variety of "foods" including sugar cane, landscaping waste, wheat straw, and wood chips. The microbes used are a "friendly" noninfectious type of E. Coli that lack the proteins needed to invade the human body, which some strains of E. Coli are capable of doing.
Robert McCormick, principal engineer at the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Lab in Colorado remains skeptical of LS9's claims. He adds, "Scalability is really the critical issue. If you've got something that you can make work in a test tube, that's good, but you've got to be able to make it work on a very large scale to have an impact on our petroleum imports."
LS9 is not only confident they can scale the technology, but they also believe that their oil will be significant to the oil found in fossil fuel deposits. Typical oil deposits contain significant amounts of sulfur that get released into the atmosphere, creating acid rain which destroys forests, limestone, marble, and damages lake ecosystems. It also contains benzene, a carcinogen that can cause cancer even in very small quantities.
The E. Coli produced diesel has none of these unwanted extras, it's just pure black gold. Unlike ethanol, it can be pumped along existing infrastructure, LS9 is quick to point out.
While they hope to be entering commercial level production in the next couple years, they acknowledge that even if they continue their path of unlikely and rapid success, their technology is not a magical solution to the global energy crisis. Mr. Cardayre states, "I think that the answer to reducing our petroleum-import problem and reducing the carbon emissions from transportation is really threefold. It involves replacement fuels like biofuels, it involves using much more efficient vehicles than we use today, and it involves driving less."
He says that LS9's success and continued prospects are only thanks to constant collaboration by a diverse team of experts from many different professions. He continues, "The fun of the challenge from the science perspective is that you do have farmers and biologists and entomologists, and biochemists and chemical engineers, and process engineers and business people and investors all working to solve this, and it ranges anywhere from a political issue to a technical issue."

AKRON - Jason Dufner doesn't look like your typical golfer. With a small pot gut hanging over his belt, a dip perpetually under his lip and a seemingly unflappable demeanor, he addresses the ball on Firestone's second hole, waggles the club a handful of times and stripes it some 300 yards down the middle of the fairway.
It's Dufner's first ever round at Firestone Country Club, and although 2012 has already been a career year for the former Auburn Tiger culminating in his first two PGA victories, as we stroll towards his tee shot Dufner says he hopes to finish the season just as well as he's started.
"Coming into this season I felt like I had some pretty good years," Dufner said. "Obviously not having a win was frustrating a little bit, so I've just been trying to stay true to my practice and preparation."

Jason Dufner gets some work in during a practice round Tuesday for the Bridgestone Invitational. The Cleveland-born Dufner has had a breakout year so far in 2012, winning twice for his first PGA Tour victories and earning more than $4 million in the process. He is almost guaranteed a spot on the U.S. Ryder Cup team and if he can notch another victory, will earn serious consideration for PGA Tour Player of the Year honors. (Salem News/B.J. Lisko)
Dufner's perseverance has paid off.
He beat Ernie Els in a playoff to capture the Zurich Classic of New Orleans at the end of April and edged Dicky Pride by a shot to win the HP Byron Nelson Championship just three weeks later. In between his victories he married longtime girlfriend Amanda Boyd, and after winning in Texas he nearly won a third time the following week at the Colonial finishing second to former Masters champion Zach Johnson.
"Just having the experience of being out here, this is my seventh year playing the same events ... just getting comfortable playing these tournaments has been key," he said.
The Cleveland-born Dufner struggled to hold a spot on the PGA Tour early in his career bouncing back and forth between the big leagues and the Nationwide Tour. After earning his tour card at Q-School to end 2008, in 2009 his game started to show serious signs of life as Dufner netted six top-10s and a second place finish in the Deutsche Bank Championship, part of the FedEx Cup playoffs. He finished 33d on the money list that year. After backtracking slightly in 2010, his first win nearly came at the PGA Championship in Atlanta last year. But after losing a five-shot lead with four to play and falling in a playoff to Keegan Bradley, many wondered if Dufner could rebound.
So far he's answered the question with a resounding "yes."
Dufner sits third in the FedEx Cup standings trailing only Tiger Woods and Johnson, and is almost assured a spot on this year's U.S. Ryder Cup team.
Winning in Akron would certainly be an added bonus to an already stellar year.
"There's a lot of history on this golf course," he said. "It's more of an old fashioned, throw back type of golf course. Driving the golf ball well and being able to comfortably attack and stay under the hole locations is going to be key."
Following Firestone, Dufner will take another crack at the PGA Championship next week at The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort in South Carolina. He finished tied for fifth in 2010 and runner-up last season, so this particular major title is well within his radar.
"I've only played one event since the U.S. Open (British Open - T31) so I expected to be playing a lot of golf," he said of the remainder of the season. "I prepared my schedule around this stretch to be prepared physically and mentally to make a run here in the last part of the season."
His game has showed no signs of slowing, and he very well could be in the mix in Akron come Sunday.
"We'll see how it goes," he said. "I feel pretty good about my game right now. I just have to keep doing what I'm doing."
If that's the case, this could be just the beginning of a storied career.

Herb Pharm's Bugleweed is a liquid herbal supplement that may work to maintain optimal thyroid and endocrine function. Bugleweed (lycopus) is a plant that may help address certain symptoms associated with an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism)' such as mild anxiety' mood swings' or trouble sleeping.
Bugleweed by Herb Pharm contains flowering aerial parts of bugleweed plants that have been harvested by hand and shade-dried in order to retain as much of their bioactive compounds as possible. Notably' the active compounds in bugleweed extract include lithospermic acid and other organic acids that may work to lower levels of TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone). At the same time' these acids may discourage certain thyroid-stimulating antibodies from binding to the thyroid gland. For these reasons' this bugleweed supplement may have a mild sedating effect.
Each bottle of Herb Pharm's Bugleweed contains one fluid ounce of solution. Mix up to 40 drops with two ounces of water or juice and drink two to four times daily.

SHIPPENSBURG - DeShae Lee was fit to be tied late Saturday morning.
Just not on the medal list.
Lee, the Altoona Area High School senior, turned in one of the best performances by an area boy at Saturday's competition in the PIAA Track and Field Championships, winning a bronze medal in the Class AAA high jump for the second straight season. Lee, though, was inconsolable afterward.
Article Photos
Altoona's DeShae Lee earned a bronze at his final PIAA?meet.
"I had high expectations when I started today. I just didn't meet them," Lee said.
Others, though, left Shippensburg University's blustery-yet-sunny Seth Grove Stadium more pleased. Bellwood-Antis senior Ian O'Shea captured two Class AA medals, finishing eighth in the 300-meter hurdles and running the anchor leg of the seventh-place Blue Devil 400 relay with three Worthing siblings - seniors Cameron and Seth and junior Owen. Also, Altoona senior Kolby Koeck earned a sixth-place medal in the pole vault.
Meanwhile, Northern Bedford's Blake Over garnered his second medal in the jumps, this time coming in eighth in the AA long jump, while Tussey Mountain's Darrin Sipes took seventh in the AA 100 dash; both Bedford County athletes are juniors.
A co-winner of the bronze medal in 2012, Lee jumped 6 feet, 6 inches, the same height as winner Donovan Clay of Stroudsburg, runner-up Elizae McDonald of Coatesville and fourth- and fifth-place finishers Horace Spencer of William Tennant and Ibn Short of Milton Hershey, respectively. Short was the defending champion, having cleared 6-10.
Lee made 6-6 on his second attempt, so Clay and McDonald edged him out on fewer misses.
Although it was a windy day, Lee didn't use that as an excuse, saying it wasn't the problem.
"Not for me," Lee said. "It was just all little minor mistakes. Just common form, basically."
Lee has been aiming for a 7-foot jump all season, but his best performance was 6-7 at the 6-AAA meet as he battled a gimpy hamstring. He achieved 6-8 last year.
Asked if he might warm up to the idea of being a two-time state bronze medalist given time to reflect, Lee doubted it.
"I was going for the gold," Lee said.
Koeck finished knotted for sixth with Jersey Shore's Mac Thompson at 14-6. They were two in a group of seven competitors unable to get 15-0.
"It wasn't terrible," Koeck said.
After going out, Koeck had to wait and see how the tiebreakers played out. He and Mountain Lion pole vault coach Shane Graziosi weren't sure if he'd medal because of a couple of earlier misses.
The wind would seem to have been a factor, but even more was the fact that so many competitors - nine - were still in it jumping at 15-0. That gave him more layoff time between vaults than Koeck was used to.
"I'm not used to so many people jumping. There were like 15 people jumping at 14. Usually, I just go and do that and sit down," Koeck said.
O'Shea, who is headed to Juniata College to play football, was much more satisfied with the dual-medal day.
"Two medals is great in the state championship. Part of the seventh-fastest four-by-one. The eighth-fastest 300 hurdler. That's a great accomplishment, and I'm very happy," O'Shea said. "I'm just happy. I had a goal to make it to an individual event in states, and I made it in two."
After helping win the relay, O'Shea came back just a few minutes later to finish his hurdle race in 41.98 seconds.
"It was good for the wind and everything. I've run better times before, but I'm happy with it. Coming off of the four-by-one like that, it was a pretty good time," O'Shea said. "I'm used to it. If you run the hurdles, a lot of people think it's the hardest event in track. It's pretty hard after the four-by-one. I haven't had time to rest and I have to go over and run. I have some time to get focused, but not as much as I'd like to."
O'Shea said the goal in the relay was just to medal. The Blue Devils were on the verge of doing that in the event last year by making the finals, then missed out the only way they could by being disqualified when Seth and Cameron Worthing had trouble on a handoff.
It was Cameron Worthing's only chance for a medal last year, and he was happy to have some redemption. B-A's time in the finals was 44.61.
"It's really nice," Worthing said. "The time and the place are not exactly something we're happy with, but we were still in the state finals and got a medal out of it. We should be happy. We figured [last year] was over with, we should just let it go."
Seth Worthing said putting last year behind was a big source of motivation. Despite having a year hampered by a football injury that was slow to heal, the St. Francis University recruit made it to states in four events for the second year in a row.
"Just being able to come home with a medal is better than not having a medal at all," Seth Worthing said. "I had my medals. It was time to get [my brothers] one."
The lone underclassman on the rare three-brother quartet, Owen Worthing loved the experience.
"You can't describe it. It was so much fun, being with [my brothers] all the time," he said. "I get along with them. The time, the competition and placing this well, I don't have the words to describe it."
Sipes had a day to remember. Even before he medaled, he finished fourth in his Class AA 100 semifinal heat, blazing across the line in 10.97.
In the finals, he ran a still-impressive 11.16, leaving Sipes with a tough decision on which made him most happy.
"I don't know. They both feel pretty good," Sipes said. "I was hoping to run under 11 seconds, but this medal feels amazing. I was so happy when I found out I got into the finals."
The semifinal time was an eye-opener, though.
"It felt fast, but it didn't feel that fast. But it definitely felt great." Sipes said. "Definitely, getting out of the blocks [was the key]. You either get off to a good start or a bad start. Fortunately, I had a good start."
It was the first of two semifinals for Sipes. He was unable to qualify for the finals in the 200, checking in at 23.17 to come in sixth in his heat. However, he still was pleased.
"I thought, coming in, I would get it in the hundred, but I didn't think I would make it in the 200 because I was seeded like 23rd," said Sipes, a converted 400-meter runner who now has loftier goals ahead.
"I'm going to strive to get higher than seventh [next year]," Sipes said.
Over had a similar revelation. He jumped 20-10 on his last jump of the flights to qualify for the long jump finals, then improved to 21-0 3/4 in the finals to secure his eighth-place medal.
Over took third in the triple jump on Friday.
"It gives a little bit more pressure [for the future], because, as the top finishing junior in both events, you're expected to come back and do good next year," Over said. "But it also gives me a lot of confidence because I know I can do it now."
Over said winning two medals was surprising, and the first one played a role in the second.
"It made me feel that I could compete at this level, and that I could get another medal," Over said. "I never really thought it would actually happen. I guess I was feeling good today and yesterday. It was awesome."
Three others from the area competed in the event. Tyrone's Charles Wilson-Adams was 18th at 20-1 3/4, Penn Cambria's James Mardula was one spot back at 20-1 1/2, and Cambria Heights' Shawn Lacue placed 24th with a leap of 19-3. In the Class AA discus, Bedford's Josiah Koontz was 15th with a throw of 132-5.
None of the area's three entrants in the Class AA 3200 meters reached the medal stand. Bedford's Will Kachman was 10th with a time of 9 minutes, 43.70 seconds, Bellwood's Kyle Bartlett took 14th and set a school record with a time of 9:52.83, and Central Cambria's Bryce Descavich came in 26th with a time of 10:49.92.
O'Shea and Seth Worthing competed with Sipes in the 100 dash but were knocked out of medal chase in the semifinals, when they finished seventh and eighth, respectively, in the first heat. O'Shea timed 11.21, Worthing at 11.52.
Bedford's Will Kachman nearly capped a strong freshman year with a medal, taking 10th in Class AA in the two-mile run with a time of 9:43.70, about 8 seconds out of eighth place. Bellwood-Antis' Kyle Bartlett was 14th at 9:52.83, and Central Cambria's Bryce Descavich finished 26th with a time of 10:49.92.
In the Class AAA shot put, Hollidaysburg's Matt Barton finished in 14th place. His best throw was 49-6 3/4.
Bedford's Josiah Koontz finished 15th in the Class AA discus, producing a best throw of 132-5.

SCE FCU Begins Running Image Building Advertising Campaign in Los Angeles
'People Powered Banking' cutline pinpoints credit union's unique advantage
Contact: PCGCampbell Kyle Reuter (310) 224-4957
IRWINDALE, Calif. (July 27, 2011) – SCE Federal Credit Union is all about its members. This week, SCE FCU is launching their 'People Powered Banking' branding campaign, featuring member's images, on buses and billboards throughout Los Angeles, Calif.
"Banks and most of the time credit unions tend to feature a product or a special loan rate in their advertising campaign," said Irene Sarber, SCE FCU Chief Planning and Development Officer. "We're all about our membership and showcasing our flexibility and accessibility to the community come through in our branding campaign."
Members are the face of SCE FCU's ads, which are appearing on strategically selected bus tails, bus wraps and bulletins for nine months. SCE FCU selected members with different financial backgrounds including high school students, local city officials and ones who've started a business during the recent recession.
"I'm speechless when I see my face six feet tall on a bus or billboard," said Aida Torres an SCE FCU member since 2006. "Being a part of the SCE FCU's campaign is amazing. I get to represent an organization that is authentic and treats me like family every time I go into the Duarte branch."
The advertising campaign, with English and Spanish ads and microsites (sce4me.com and sceespanol.com) educates consumers on how to join, products and services offered and branch locations for the $500 million credit union.
"SCE FCU is a wonderful organization for small business owners and I'm proud to be part of the campaign," said Bob Bahnvadia, SCE FCU member and owner of a local AM/PM convenience store. "When they say that you can talk to CEO Dennis Huber in the ads, you can. Everyone at the credit union is focused on helping grow my business."
SCE Federal Credit Union was founded in 1952 and currently has more than 42,000 members, $500 million in assets, several Southern California branch locations, thousands of shared branch locations across the United States and more than 28,000 surcharge-free ATMs available to members. SCE FCU serves all of Southern California, with membership open to individuals and businesses, and is a not-for-profit entity committed to improving the financial well-being of the communities it serves, especially people underserved by mainstream financial institutions. With a strong commitment to volunteerism, employees donate hundreds of hours to local community causes each year. Additionally, the creation of the SCE FCU Foundation provides much-needed financial education to the underserved.

Every year, Squeaky Wheel Media Arts Center provides selected area artists with 100 hours of free access to its video and digital labs and five days of free equipment rental as part of its Regional Artist Access Residency. It's the art-world equivalent of letting a kid loose on a particularly well-equipped playground, and the results can often be stunning.
This year's residencies went to two teams of Buffalo artists. Kyle Butler and Shasti O'Leary Soudant collaborated on an installation called "unreliable (s)pace" and Lauren Gay and Isaac Johnson put together a semifictional film documenting a pregnancy.
Butler and Soudant's project explores the unexpected twists and turns life takes and it involves a slow, snail-like journey from one end of the exhibition space to the other. Gay and Johnson's project, called "The Music Box: Adventures of Lucy + Renaldo," is described in a release as "a multimedia docu-fiction that provides an intimate look into a couple's 9 months of pregnancy and the resulting child's first month of life." The project is intended to function as a hybrid of traditional documentary and more free-form filmmaking.
The Regional Artist Access Residency continues through June 29 in Squeaky Wheel (712 Main St.). Admission is free. Call 884-7172 or visit squeaky.org. – Colin Dabkowski

I'm trying to decide between a Savage 16 weather warrior stainless vs the Savage 11 FCNS. Any thoughts on pros and cons? I hunt Northern Vermont primarily. Thanks.

I hunt with a 116 stainless in 338 Win Mag. I had the rifle bead-blasted to dull the finish and have been very happy with it over the years.

You'll spend less money on the 11. You'll spend more time and oil preventing and removing corrosion - it's a blued steel gun vs stainless gun choice, basically. Otherwise, it's the same action, same trigger, same stocks are usable on them, etc.
I have an 11, and really enjoy it.

I have owned half a dozen Savages, all have been great, but given the option I would spend the extra on stainless. I have an 11 270 WSM in addition to my 110s and it is fantastic.
The 260 is a great little cartrage, often ranked amongst the very best deer cartrages along side such great company as the 7x57, 6.5x55 and 7mm-08, but I do recommend handloading if you decide to join the 6.5mm clan. We are a rare breed and factory ammo is not kind to us. Get some 120gr Ballistic tips, and 140gr SGK/SSTs and buy RL19/RL22 in bulk :D

I have one of the stainless rifles your listed. The are parts that are not stainless. The magazine, for instance, is not. I really have no trouble keeping the exterior of a rifle rust-free. Its the bits inside that require removing the stock that I most want to be stainless. Well, that, and the bore.
Little known fact is that stainless barrels often wear ever so slightly faster than plain ol' blued ones. Stainless will rust, too. It's just less likely.
I vote blued and a can of INOX MX3 lube or just paste wax.
Still Shooting

I have a Savage 11 FHNS in 7mmWSM that I acquired about 2 years ago. I really like that rifle! The quality of the bluing is good, and an occasional wipe with oil is all it needs to keep it looking new. It also shoots 0.5moa @100yds. regularly, with the right ammo. I decided to re-stock it with a B&C tactical stock, which required a couple of small parts (magazine retainer clip and trigger guard); I called Savage Customer Service and the parts were shipped to me at no charge - gotta like that, too!
November 29, 2012, 09:28 PM
Thanks for the replies. I'm saving for a spring purchase. I remain undecided though I'm leaning toward stainless for the inevitable days of precip. I believe handloading is in the future to get the most out of this rifle.

Undergraduate Academic Program Sheets
The program sheet is the guide used to determine what courses, and associated requirements, you will need to take to earn a degree. The program sheets also provide a suggested course sequencing to lay out a program's requirements toward graduation, also known as a suggested four-year plan.
Helpful tips:
- The program sheets may be typed into and saved for future use. They can also be printed.
- If you hover the cursor over the course name, you will see that the courses are hyperlinked to the university's undergraduate catalog. Please use the catalog to see course descriptions, prerequisites, and information on when the courses are offered (every semester, Fall only, Spring only, etc.)
- Save your program sheet so that you can retrieve it and work from it anytime you are meeting with your advisor, academic department or the Registrar's Office.
- Be sure to update your program sheet each semester to reflect courses completed and those in progress.
- Listed below are the Program Sheets for the current academic year. If you came in as a freshman student you should follow the program sheet in effect at your time of registration. If you are a transfer student, you should follow the program sheet with the evaluation that was issued you by Admissions. If your current major institutes significant changes to your program and develops a new Program Sheet you have the option of using either the new or your current program sheet - check with your department which option is best for you. Archived Program Sheets can be found on the menu to the left.

Dear Editor,
When we realize we have made the right decision it brings immense satisfaction. Last year I was part of a search committee that was charged with selecting the new president of Columbia College. If you have never been on a search committee, I can assure you it is a most difficult task in which every participant is mindful that the decision will have a lasting impact.
Our dedicated search committee selected Elizabeth Dinndorf, J.D., as Columbia College's 18th President. She was a nontraditional candidate as a business and finance executive, and a loyal alumna of a Minnesota women's college with many years of leadership and service on its Board of Trustees. In other words, she was the right woman at the right time!
As a private Methodist-affiliated college, our goal is to educate and prepare our graduates to achieve personal and professional success in today's world through our distinctive woman's college and our co-educational evening and graduate programs.
President Dinndorf has already initiated new cutting-edge programs that make this even more attainable for students who understand the value of personalized attention and a uniquely supportive learning community. Check out our "You're on Your Way" initiative or our new Momentum Scholarship program. These opportunities and others make Columbia College a true home for developing and promoting leadership skills in all our students, something we have been doing for more than 150 years.
I want South Carolinians and our 10,000-plus alumnae to know great things are happening at Columbia College under the leadership of President Dinndorf. If the coming years are anything like this first energizing year, we are truly "on our way" to an even brighter future. I'd also like to express my thanks to our new President and the dedicated faculty and staff for all they do to make this historic and wonderful institution the special place it is.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Charlie Sheen
- 1980s
Malibu Prince
Sheen, the third of actor Martin Sheen and Janet Estevez's four children, grows up in Malibu, Calif., where he excels in baseball at Santa Monica High School. Though he shows talent on the field, "I just couldn't get it together," he tells PEOPLE of his lackluster academic performance. "The problem is my parents bought me a car when I was 16, and L.A. was at my feet." Sheen soon drops out and follows his dad and older brother Emilio into acting.
- 1984
Breaking 'Dawn'
Sheen battles for his big break as Patrick Swayze's younger brother in the war film Red Dawn, which tops the box office during its opening weekend. That December, the 19-year-old actor becomes a father when high school girlfriend Paula Profitt welcomes daughter Cassandra.
- 1986
Going to Battle
After a string of lighthearted teen movies (Lucas, Ferris Bueller's Day Off), Sheen ships off for Oliver Stone's Oscar-winning Vietnam War drama, Platoon. "When he arrived for filming, Charlie was still a nerd," the director says of his star, whom he put through two weeks of boot camp in the Philippines. "Then each week there was a perceptible change as he became a soldier." Sheen reunites with Stone in 1987 for Wall Street, opposite Oscar winner Michael Douglas. ''Those movies were so hard to make," Sheen tells USA Today. "You age a certain amount in a Stone movie.''
- 1989
A Winning Pitch
Now a box office draw, Sheen plays a hard-living, hard-throwing pitcher (dubbed "Wild Thing") in the highly successful baseball comedy Major League. The film, which tops the box office two weeks in a row, spawns the 1994 hit sequel Major League II, with Sheen reprising his blockbuster role.
- 1990
Parting Shot
Sheen proposes to actress Kelly Preston, but the pink sapphire diamond engagement ring can't hold the couple together when the actress is bizarrely hit with shrapnel in her wrist and ankle by a loaded gun left in one of Sheen's pants. "It was just one of those stupid accidents," he tells Movieline. "It should've happened to me. She was an innocent bystander.'' That same year, he briefly checks into rehab for "extreme exhaustion" and moves on with adult film actress Ginger Lynn Allen. "When he's drinking and using," Allen says, "he's out of control."
- 1995
Heidi's Client List
Tales of the actor's hard-partying ways are solidified when he testifies during Heidi Fleiss's tax-evasion trial. In a videotaped deposition, Sheen – who earned the nickname "The Machine" for his insatiable appetite for drugs, alcohol and women – admits that he spent $53,000 for "sexual services" from the famed Hollywood madam's prostitutes over a 15-month period between 1991 and 1993.
Charlie Gets Groomed
After meeting on the set of a Japanese commercial in the spring, Sheen, 30, marries model Donna Peele, 25. "She's an angel sent from heaven to take me through the rest of my journey," he says. Over a year later, Peele and Sheen divorce in November 1996, with the troubled actor saying, "You buy a bad car, it breaks down."
- 1997-1998
Troubled Times
Sheen pleads no contest to a charge of battery after girlfriend, model Brittany Ashland, accuses him of smashing her face on the kitchen floor. "I hope that for his good and everybody else's, he decides to change his behavior," Ashland tells the court through her attorney. The following year, he's hospitalized for a drug overdose, which is in violation of his parole. The actor is given an added year's probation and sent to lock-down detox followed by treatment at Promises rehabilitation center in Malibu. "Pray for my boy, he has appetites that get him into trouble," his father Martin pleads on his behalf.
- 2000
Spin City
When Michael J. Fox resigns from the sitcom Spin City to battle Parkinson's disease, a sober Sheen, 35, steps in during the fifth season as deputy mayor Charlie Crawford, opposite Heather Locklear. "To get a shot at getting back in the game with something at this level of exposure, this level of quality, with this amount of talent, is really a blessing," the actor says of his "second chance," which earns him a Golden Globe for best comedic actor in television in 2002.
- 2002
Hello, Denise
After meeting on the set of the indie flick Good Advice in 2000, Sheen, 36, and Denise Richards, 31, – who begin dating after the actress makes an appearance on Spin City in 2001 – marry in an outdoor wedding at the Brentwood, Calif., estate of Spin City creator Gary David Goldberg. "I respect him for who he is," the bride tells PEOPLE of her groom's troubled past. "I admire him for where he's come from."

MSU PP4.0 5 (Six-Axis, Old 'original version' board with 3 leg POTs, oldest I've seen anyway)
There is also an MSU PP4.0 9 (Six-Axis) BOTTOM - TOP and an MSU PP4.0 11 (Six-Axis) BOTTOM - TOP
Now, out with the old...
Here are some of the newer versions boards. The main differences in these newer controllers are the Battery and the Analog Sticks, the boards are completely revamped as well, but you'll notice the Battery and/or POT leads right off, plus the shell of the controller doesn't seem to be the transparent 'smoke' color anymore but a more opaque Black color.
The first version of battery was the LIP1359 (w/sticker) then came the MK11-2902. While the newer MK11 is smaller in size, it's still the same 3.7v 610mAh rating. It also uses a bracket to fit where the slightly larger LIP1359 went. These batteries can be interchanged between the 6A (Six-Axis) and DS3 (DualShock 3) controller versions if need be and I've seen both battery versions in the later versions as well. There is also an MK11-3020 570mAh (Typ610mAh) that turned up later on, and seems to be the same as the other MK11, and now the LIP1359 (w/o sticker) seems to be the more frequently used one in the latest controllers, but again they are all interchangeable and one is really no different than the other, you just need to have the bracket for the MK11 batteries so they fit properly is all, but even that's really optional in a pinch.
The big surprise is the Analog Sticks in these newer versions, 4 legs on the POTs, needless to say that sparked some interest. So I desoldered one, popped it off and looky here...
..gone are the days of the familiar 3 legged POT and in comes these little gems. Magnetic and nothing to get all dirty and scratchy since there's no Wiper anymore, pretty nice idea, though a bit high tech for something that has no user serviceable battery and will in most cases be replaced instead of repaired if it were to die or break, still really kool though. These are Hall Sensors, and there are now 2 versions of these in the DualShock 3 version controllers, though the older style ones aren't used anymore as they seem too have a flaw with them, in that the Rivets that hold the leads onto the small circuit board can cause an intermittent connection over time and this will cause a direction or two to stop working, the newer ones are designed a bit better and I don't see them having this issue. How these things work is they have a Current run thru them and depending on where the Magnet is at (the part on the stick) it changes the flow of the Current in this Sensor. This then goes to an Op-Amp setup as a Current-to-Voltage converter and when all is said and done they basically work exactly the same way as a POT setup as a voltage divider, the MCU in the controller doesn't know the difference. This was done years back in the Saturn 3D controller as well as the Dreamcast controllers.

A special delivery touched down Monday at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport.
A private plane company headquartered in Portsmouth collected about 500 toys for the Toys for Tots Campaign.
On Monday, the company delivered a PC-12 single-engine plane stuffed with toys to Manchester.
Mayor Ted Gatsas was on hand to accept the donation, along with representatives from the U.S. Marines, who run the collection.
"We thought this way we could help make a brighter Christmas," said PlaneSense, Inc. President George Antoniadis.
Officials said Toys for Tots donations are down significantly this year.
There is still time to donate. A new, unwrapped toy can be left at drop centers across the state until the end of the week.

Why work? | Opensource.com
Why work?
Most economic theories (and many managers) assume that the best way to get what you want from workers is give them the right financial incentives.
But most real people have lots of reasons for working besides just making money. They work to have fun, to socialize with others, to challenge themselves, to find meaning in their lives, and for many other reasons. To bring out people's best efforts in their work, we need to engage more of these non-monetary motivations.
Of course, there's nothing new about the fact that people are often more dedicated and creative when they are doing work they enjoy or find meaningful. But in our increasingly knowledge-based and innovation-driven economy, human brains—not capital—are becoming the primary drivers of business success. And having dedicated, creative workers can often mean the difference between business success and failure.
So how can we engage people's best efforts? How can we make work more fun?
One of the best ways to make work fun is to give people more control over what they do. In my book The Future of Work, I talked about how giving people more control—more freedom—in business is now becoming feasible in many more situations. One of the key enablers of this change is that cheap communication technologies now make it possible for many more people to have enough information to make more decisions for themselves.
For instance, eBay's electronic infrastructure lets hundreds of thousands of people sell products to a worldwide marketplace. But these eBay sellers aren't employees of eBay, following orders from eBay managers. Instead, the eBay sellers are essentially independent storeowners, deciding for themselves what to sell, when to sell it, how to advertise it, and how to price it.
Even though both eBay and Walmart sell huge volumes of retail products, eBay does it in a way that gives much more freedom to its sellers than Walmart sales clerks have. Is it more fun to be an eBay seller than a Walmart clerk? I suspect it often is. And I suspect that eBay sellers—on average—probably bring more energy, creativity, and dedication to their work than a typical Walmart clerk.
Another way of thinking about how to make work fun is to look at some of the most fun activities around—games—and try to use the same features that make games fun to make work more fun. Almost 30 years ago, in my Ph.D. thesis, I used this strategy to suggest how to make education more fun by incorporating features of highly motivating video games. And, surprisingly, the framework I developed then still applies—with some adaptation—to making work fun today.
The framework highlights three important features of highly motivating environments like video games: challenge, fantasy, and curiosity.
Challenging environments are those where you are always confronting challenges that are on the edge of your capabilities—not too easy and not too difficult. It may seem strange to use this example, but I just saw the movie The Hurt Locker, and one of the main characters in the movie was essentially addicted to the life-threatening challenge of disarming dangerous bombs in Iraq. Was his job fun? Most people probably wouldn't think so, but for him the challenge made his job almost like a game, and he brought huge amounts of dedication to doing his work.
Many video games are also engaging because of the fantasies they evoke—taking on alternative personalities, killing enemies, living in imaginary worlds. One analogy of fantasy in the work world is the meaning the work has for people. For instance, many contributors to Wikipedia are attracted, in part, by the grand vision of helping to create the world's largest encyclopedia. They find this task so engaging that they are willing to spend lots of time working on it—for free.
Some jobs—like some computer games—are also great at engaging people's curiosity. Engineers at Google, for instance, are allowed to spend one day per week working on projects of their own choosing. By letting engineers follow their own curiosity in this way, Google not only helps keep the engineers motivated and engaged, but Google also gets the benefits of the creative new products that often come from these efforts.
Still another way of thinking about how to make work fun is to consider what motivates people, in general. Of course, philosophers and social scientists have been thinking about this question for centuries, but in a recent paper of mine, we used a very simple way of summarizing people's motivations. People do things for the following three reasons: money, love, and glory.
To take the work out of work, we need to focus on people's desires, not for money, but for love and glory. For instance, many of the contributors to Wikipedia really enjoy the actual writing and editing of encyclopedia articles. You might even say they love it. And many of them also enjoy the opportunities to socialize electronically with the worldwide community of other Wikipedia contributors. Do they all love each other? No, of course not, but it's probably not an exaggeration to say that many of them love the social interactions they have with each other while working on Wikipedia.
Giving people a chance at glory—or recognition—is also often a very good way to engage them deeply in their work. Many of the contributors to the Linux open source software system, for instance, are partly motivated by the chance to be recognized by their peers for their technical achievements. As with Wikipedia, the Linux community engages people's motivations so deeply that most contributors work as volunteers—they don't get paid at all for their "work."
People will do all kinds of boring, meaningless work, if you pay them enough, and they need the money badly enough. But to thrive in today's economy, companies need much more than just the grudging compliance of their workers. They need workers who are dedicated, creative, and truly engaged by the work they are doing. And to do that, companies need to make work more like play.

Another aspect of the "why work" bit perhaps would be the attempt to remove the anonymity that is liable to get in. As a company/project evolves and grows outward, participants are more likely to become 'anonymous'. Putting in structures that remove this undesirable trait also works as a motivating factor and, keeps ensuring that the employee finds value in participating.
Which is what I guess you write when you take the example of the Free Software and Linux world and tie in the recognition by peers aspect.

collector, the janitor, the waitress, and good students should be paid to study. People would do difficult and interesting jobs, not for the pay, but for the prestige, the challenge, etc, and there would be no motive to screw people on wall street. Being a banker would be decently paid (because it's boring work), but not extravagantly. The type of people who are greedy and value money more than being useful to society could pick up trash, clean toilets, and make a killing.
I agree with many of the ideas in this article. The nature of work is changing and the relationships that people will choose to make with people who reward them is likely to become a lot more free-form than the traditional employee/employer relationship.
I thought the eBay versus Walmart metaphor was a little stretched. People who sell things on eBay aren't working for them. It's a service that helps individuals overcome sales barriers by making it easier for buyers to find what they need. Sellers actually pay eBay for that... something that I would hope you don't do with your employer.
It does, however, show how technology has opened up a number of potential revenue streams that were previously not possible. Now, rather than thinking about the "job" that a person wants to have, they can look at their various interests and talents and use different outlets to sell those interested parties. Our society needs to catch up to this thinking and understand the difference between self-employed and unemployed. This must include changes in insurance and banking models so that these innovators aren't left with the greatest hardships.
