The Saugus girls volleyball team continued its hot streak with a sweep against Golden Valley by scores of 25-12, 25-12, 25-16 Tuesday night at Saugus High School.
The Centurions finished the regular season winning eleven of their last 13 games on their way to an overall record of 20-13, 5-5 in the Foothill League.
Hannah Nua led Saugus with 16 kills and Ashley Guthrie contributed 29 assists and three blocks.
The Centurions will now have to wait and see if they qualify for an at-large playoff berth because they finished fourth in league, and only the top three teams automatically advance to the CIF-Southern Section Division IA playoffs.
"To get in you need a .500 record," said Saugus head coach Zach Ambrose. "We have quality wins against good teams so I think we have a pretty good chance."
"Playoffs is always the goal. We will see how excited we are when the draw comes out," Ambrose said.

The Palestinian municipal elections will not take place for another six months after President Mahmoud Abbas delayed them to ensure participation from Hamas.
In February Mr Abbas announced that the local vote, the first in six years, would be held on July 9.
At the time a Fatah spokesman said the elections would take place even if Hamas blocked them in the Gaza Strip.
But in the light of last month's Hamas-Fatah unity government agreement, Mr Abbas said today they would be rescheduled "to provide the proper atmosphere to hold the elections in the entire Palestinian territories".

I don't like her.
I liked her last week, not so much anymore lol.
This girl's a waste of thought...
i totally agree it was a mistake keeping Angie. the matsing tribe has just made all kinds of mistakes so far lol
Smart to let her go, but I confess I did feel sorry for her when Russell was going off on her at TC. It was just so over the top and unnecessary. I get he was fighting for his life in the game, but I hate it when the "little girl" gets thrown out, it's just so condescending.
Certainly casting chose Angie for her naivetee (avoiding Bimbo). I wish they wouldn't do this but it is part of diverse cast, I guess. This tribe got the shaft with both Roxie and her. Two very week players on one team is too bad.

6 weeks to a Top 3 Finish
Brandon was only 6 weeks out from competing and came to me for a plan that would get him in the best shape of his life. Weekly he would write me in shock with how he was looking and feeling. Excited to share his 6 week journey with you all
Brandon Used the Hitch Fit Competition Prep
He started his Prep at 208 lbs and around 10-11% bodyfat. Day of his show he stepped on the scale at 193.5 lbs and 4.8% bodyfat.
Congrats Brandon on your 3rd Place Finish!!
Brandons Story
So I started a contest prep plan with Hitch Fit Micah Lacerte, 6 weeks ago. When it began, with the diet and training plan, it was very difficult, but easy to follow. I thought I was in pretty good shape before and had no idea of how or what to expect. As the weeks went on, my body changed dramatically, I lost 15 pounds in 6 weeks leading up to the BCABBA British Columbia Provincials, and dropped to 5% body fat. I couldn't pinch anything off of my abs or kidney area. My definition in my body was mind blowing.
Waking up everyday, seeing something new, a new change, I felt amazing. I came into the competition pretty raw because I was gearing for a WBFF competition and this one was a bonus. Do to unforseen circumstances after the provincial show, I was unable to compete in the WBFF show. However, I stepped on stage, looking the best I've ever looked, stronger than I've ever been, and feeling more confident than I ever though possible. I got first callout in Mens Physique Class in the CBBF competition, and placed 3rd in my class. I was really raw, but looked amazing. Came 3rd in my Province!! This placing qualified me for nationals August 11th for Team BC. Which I will gear towards.
I have everything to thank to Micah lacerte, he is a true inspiration to me, and he is a magician at his craft. He has trully changed my life for the better and showed me what I can accomplish when you really sit down, and commit to a healthy lifestyle. I will be working with him again in the future. He is a great guy, and a true leader! Thanks again Brother!!!
Do you have a show your wanting to get in the best shape of your life for.
Regardless of where you live in the world Hitch Fit can help you get there.
Check out Brandis Rocking Abs!!!
Brandi Was a Top 3 Bikini Model at the Show she competed in!!

Police say a man has died after falling off a building during a Bay to Breakers party in San Francisco.
The incident happened at an apartment building across from the Golden Gate Park panhandle around 3:30 p.m. Sunday several hours after the race began.
Police say the man apparently fell from the roof on to the pavement. Paramedics rushed him to the hospital but he succumbed to his injuries.
His name has not yet been released.
Also during Sunday's event, police arrested 21 people for public intoxication, one for possession of a firearm and one felony arrest for robbery.
Police Spokesman Officer Albie Esparza says one officer sustained minor injuries during an arrest.
Esparza says another 16 people were taken to sobering centers for drinking too much.


text: At 79 I have experienced education as a student at many levels. I have also taught in this country at all levels; I also experienced teaching in several countries in Europe. First in this country the cost is tied directly to the wants of the students. As a result of their wants we have excess graduates who are not employed in their wants. What does this mean; their wants generate a need for additional faculty, classroom space and living accommodations. Thus we have duplication of majors in many American universities and colleges. Of course we must consider college and universities desires to not get ahead of me in the number of majors offered.

Like a Mini Pack of Powerful Lightning Bolts!
You can now pack 11 million volts of self protection on your hip. No one will even notice, because the Stun Master Hot Shot stun gun looks almost like a Blackberry, or other hand held mobile device.
A short blast from this almost invisible personal and powerful protection device will give anyone silly enough to attack you an exclusive muscle massage that will render them incapable of managing much more than drooling for about five to ten minutes.
The difference with this device is the placement of the button on the face of the unit instead of on the side where most reside. This is a neat little option which really depends on your personal preference. If you were to hold this toward someone and give them a warning discharge, you'd look very in control. If they want to test you, then you can give them the full Monty.
Shove it in their neck, their side, groin or anywhere you are able and let them get several seconds of debilitating electrical waves overtaking their ability to voluntarily use their muscles. The longer you hold it on them, the more effective it is.
With a dazzling 11,000,000 volts, the Hot Shot stun gun has the power of Mickey Mantle's bat, combined with the element of surprise. This palm sized mini stungun sits on your hip till you're ready to take it out and defend yourself.
A sleekly designed super stopper that is equipped with a safety switch and an illuminated red light that tells you it's ready to unleash hell on your aggressor. It's a real hotshot!
Comes with three lithium batteries and detachable stainless steel belt clip. "Best Quality/Best buy." Order yours today!
Some states have restrictions on Stun Devices. Check if your state has restrictions here: Shipping Restrictions

KC cameraman sues University of Missouri after fall
Jeron Swann fell from platform at basketball game
A Kansas City cameraman is suing the University of Missouri after he fell off a platform while he was videotaping a basketball game at Mizzou arena.
In a lawsuit filed in Boone County this week, Jeron Swann alleges that a wooden platform he stood on to videotape the game had no stairs, handrails or other method to climb on or off. Swann says he fell onto the concrete floor while trying to get off the platform.
His attorney says Swann has undergone several surgeries and can no longer perform certain types of work.
A spokeswoman for the University of Missouri System says the school does not comment on litigation.
The Columbia Daily Tribune reports that Swann is seeking more than $25,000 for himself and another $25,000 for his wife.

Our first Cork 'N Cleaver restaurant opened in 1964 in Scottsdale, Arizona. The owners and organizers, with restaurant experience in Aspen, Colorado, developed the unique concept of Cork 'N Cleaver. Much of the southwestern décor, building construction and fixtures were built by us. The décor was thoughtfully planned to create the most comfortable, warm atmosphere one could find outside the home.
Original and unique concepts such as an innovative salad bar, cleaver-style menus, wine lists, a limited steak menu, and exhibition cooking added to the atmosphere, but helped establish the Cork 'N Cleaver as an instant success. The Cork 'N Cleaver has changed and diversified over the years, but our basic philosophy remains the same as it was in those early days…..
….A commitment to quality and excellence in service, people, and food.
….Operating with the idea of treating others as we would like to be treated

Horton Plaza
When Ernest Hahn approached Jerde to revitalize downtown San Diego in 1977, the city's tax revenues could not support basic city services. So Jerde designed Horton Plaza as a new urban district that would bring people - and commerce - back to the city. Horton Plaza redefined the urban retail experience. Combining shops, restaurants, a cinema, outdoor theaters, a hotel and offices into a double-curved pedestrian street, Horton Plaza established a new connectivity in the downtown core. Expected to take five years to produce a change, Horton Plaza attracted 25 million people in its first year and immediately served as a catalyst for regeneration. Since opening, the $170-million Horton Plaza has attracted $2.4 billion to revitalize other areas of downtown San Diego. Today, the total revitalization produces a 12-percent annual yield on investment. And Horton Plaza continues to generate San Diego's highest sales per square foot - 17 years after opening. The Horton Plaza Redevelopment Project has increased assessed property values by $451 million, or more than 2,700 percent.

13-year-old Max Leone gives us his opinion in Publishers Weekly, arguing that "[t]he reason we read so little in our free time is partially because of the literary choices available to teenagers these days."
So what kind of books does Max think should be published?
All his points are worth a read (seriously, this is one entertaining guy), but my favorite is this:
Vampires, simply put, are awesome. However, today's vampire stories are 100 pages of florid descriptions of romance and 100 pages of various people being emo. However much I mock the literature of yesteryear, it definitely had it right when it came to vampires. The vampire was always depicted as a menacing badass. That is the kind of book teenage boys want to read. Also good: books with videogame-style plots involving zombie attacks, alien attacks, robot attacks or any excuse to shoot something.(via)

Tropical Cyclone Evan Hammers Fiji, Samoas
Fiji residents are beginning to clean up after a powerful cyclone blew through the Pacific island nation.
Tropical Cyclone Evan on Monday ripped roofs from homes and churches, flooded roads and forced thousands to evacuate their homes. Strong seas near the capital, Suva, pulled two container ships onto a reef. Authorities say they hope to refloat them.
The Republic of Fiji (population estimate: 890,000) is a group of islands in the south Pacific about 1265 miles northeast of New Zealand.
A wind gust to 104 mph was clocked in the western coastal town of Nadi at 3pm local time, Monday.
(MORE: Weather Underground wind, pressure history at Nadi, Fiji)
According to Weather Underground's Dr. Jeff Masters (Wunderblog) and NOAA's Coastal Service Center, in records dating to 1941, Evan is the most intense tropical cyclone to have impacted Fiji's largest island, Viti Levu. At its peak intensity, Evan was estimated to have maximum sustained winds of 135 mph!
There had been only 2 other tropical cyclones of at least category-four equivalent intensity to have tracked through the Republic of Fiji, dating to 1941. The most recent before Evan was Gavin in March 1997.
Overall, Fiji appears to have come through the storm relatively intact, with some places yet to be assessed. There are no reports of deaths, the international airport at Nadi reopened Tuesday and most tourist resorts sustained only minor damage. Power and communications remain down in parts of the country.
The storm earlier wreaked greater havoc on Samoa. Authorities on Tuesday abandoned a search for 10 missing fishermen, bringing the death toll there to 14.
According to Weather Underground's Dr. Jeff Masters and Christopher C. Burt, Evan was one of Samoa's most destructive tropical cyclones on record when it hit the islands late last week.

Bill Gates Has Great Secret Santa Christmas Idea For Reddit User
What do you get people for Secret Santa? A movie basket? Alcohol? Something small or something funny?
What do you get people for Secret Santa? A movie basket? Alcohol? Something small or something funny?
Santa Claus has found himself in the middle of a race controversy.
Police cannot exactly find out who the suspects are in this disruption at SantaCon in NYC this past Saturday.
Were you able to get out on Saturday and hit up the Ugly Sweater In The Square party? While it was a little chilly, that didn't stop us from having fun, enjoying some great music and even getting a visit from Santa!!!!
Today is deadline day – it's Santa's List Day - the day that Santa Claus finalizes his list of the Good and the Bad kids. It's always on December 4th, three weeks before Christmas so that he and his helpers have plenty of time to get things straightened out before the Big Day.
I totally overlooked this while trying to guess at what the #1 job during the Holiday Season would be. I thought more along the lines of toy stores, Christmas stores and yada yada. Not even close. The best job to have during Christmas is….
You probably think about the Broadway Market mainly at Easter, but the market is offering new traditions in the form of a familiar face this Christmas. Santa Claus will appear at The Broadway Market during the holiday season. Santa, with his authentic white beard will be taking pictures with kids and getting their wish lists in order.
It is back again this year and will be bigger than ever!The most attended craft show in the country is happening this weekend at the Erie County Fairgrounds!
Just happened to be in Santa's barn. This is Prancer and me after his big trip around the world!
He's a jolly old elf right? He's the symbol of charity and the holiday spirit. He lives in the North Pole with reindeer and snowmen. He's got lots of lovable names like Saint Nick, Father Christmas, and Santa Claus. Kids love him….right?
There's a little boy from Texas who is dying from a disease called Leigh's disease. It's a disease that is killing his body's cells. And unfortunately all that his parents can do is try to keep him as comfortable as possible. They have already lost another son from a rare neurological disorder and they're about to lose another one. Wait until you hear what his final wish was.
You're never to old to tell santa what you want for Christmas. I was heading out to lunch today and I did just that when I saw Jolly Old Saint Nick outside of the WYRK studios.

Creation scientist Robert Carter, Ph.D., was the featured speaker for the January 24 E.O. Grundset Lecture that kicked off Origins Weekend, an annual event that increases the awareness of the importance of origins to our faith.
Carter is a senior scientist for Creation Ministries International (CMI), a group of non-profit, non-denominational ministries whose work is to proclaim and defend the Bible's authority on creation.
"As a scientist, my goal is to demonstrate that the Book of Genesis is real history. This, however, does not mean that I bend my conclusions to fit a pre-conceived notion of history, for I am often testing the data to see if they point in an entirely different direction from my starting assumptions," Carter said. "Yet, since I have a different starting point, I often entertain questions that a strict evolutionist would not consider."
The special weekend also included an origins seminar with biology and religion faculty, and an Adventist Theological Society presentation, "Evolution and the Omega Apostasy," by Lucinda Hall, associate professor in the Biology Department.
In addition to events like Origins Weekend, Southern's faculty share the evidences of creation beyond campus through outside projects and activities. More recently, eight professors contributed to a series of elementary science textbooks called By Design.
The North American Division is publishing the books for Seventh-day Adventist elementary schools, though other Christian schools have also expressed interest. These textbooks are divided into four science sections, Life, Physical, Earth/Space, and Body, and are geared toward first through eighth graders.
The Southern faculty who participated in the project include four professors and one instructor from the Biology Department, two professors from the Physics Department, and one from the School of P.E., Health and Wellness. They each wrote chapter introductions for the teacher's editions of the books, connecting the science topics of the chapter to principles on biblical creation. For instance, Rick Norskov, professor in the Biology Department, wrote an introduction that compared a complex cell's creation of proteins to a restaurant's creation of burritos, and how something so intricate is an outcome of design.
"I have an obvious interest in teaching and I like to use illustrations and stories to make a point," Norskov said about his involvement.
Even though these introductions will only be printed in the teacher's editions of the texts, teachers will be encouraged share these lessons with the students.
Carol Raney, origins curriculum coordinator for the Biology Department, also had the opportunity to write sections of the By Design books.
"I feel very privileged to be a part of this," she said. " It's so important to help kids understand that there is scientific evidence pointing to the Creator."
With the opening of the Biology Department's Origins Exhibit last year, the Faith-Science interdisciplinary discussion group on campus, and the study of origins theories in the classroom, Southern continually shows a commitment to the Seventh-day Adventist belief on creation.
"So often, the world around us is very pro-evolution and we're not exposed to alternative interpretations of research," said Tim Trott, Biology Department professor. "There are good scientists who do not hold on to the theory of evolution. We want students to know there are two sides and we want to give them another viewpoint."

Your Windows XP computer will be more secure online if you run under a limited account, rather than with an administrator account. But that is very inconvenient for many users.
Vista and Windows 7 make it much easier to run as a "Standard User".
I'd be remiss not to point out an extensive source of information on running with reduced rights that I found after generating this page.
Living with reduced rights >>>
If you find it unworkable to run under a limited account, it's advisable to at least run your internet-facing programs -- browser, email program, media players, etc. -- with reduced privileges. It's what I do. ;-)
One way to set this up is to install a simple program -- DropMyRights -- and create up some special shortcuts (icons) for your internet-facing programs. [instructions below]
To temporarily run a program with full rights, close all of the program's windows, and then use Online Armor to "Run normal." [Open the "Programs" section in the "Configuration" window of Online Armor (from the Tray area of your Taskbar) > Right-click the program whose rights you want to temporarily elevate > select "Run normal", and it will open in "Normal" (administrator) mode.] [more tips
You can also create "DropMyRights" shortcuts for other programs. Just clone one of the examples, as shown in my directions below. Use the same approach to modify shortcuts if you have installed DropMyRights.exe in a folder different from C:\Program Files\DropMyRights\.
Here is what you will be working with in Notepad (or Wordpad). Copy the original line, and then edit it to create the cloned line. Notice the single space between the two segments of each line. Mucho Importante!

Charlotte, N.C. (AP) -- The Panthers are trying to stay optimistic as they figure out what caused their high-octane offense to sputter and crash in a 16-10 season-opening loss at Tampa Bay.
They'll need to come up with answers soon to avoid falling into a big early season hole.
The Panthers host NFC powers New Orleans and the New York Giants in the next 10 days, teams with quarterbacks who know a thing or two about putting points on the board.
Another outing like Sunday - one in which the Panthers ran for just 10 yards, tying a dubious franchise record - likely won't get it done.
Although second-year coach Ron Rivera wasn't happy with his team's performance, he remains upbeat insisting ''there's no reason to panic or do anything rash now.''
Rivera is confident Carolina's offense, which finished fifth in the league in points scored and third in rushing a year ago, will bounce back.
''There's some cause for optimism as the mistakes on the offensive side are all correctable,'' Rivera said Monday. ''It wasn't a glaring thing as far as schematically. It was a player here or a player there, something that they did (wrong). We'll get better at it.''
Rivera hopes that begins this Sunday.
The Panthers face a Saints defense that allowed rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III to throw for 320 yards and two scores and run for 42 yards in a loss to 40-32 loss to the Washington Redskins.
Like Griffin, Newton is a dual-threat quarterback.
''There are some things we can do against them,'' Rivera said.
The Panthers couldn't do anything against the Bucs outside of one touchdown drive to open the third quarter.
That was a head-scratcher considering Carolina's recent success against the Bucs. Carolina scored a combined 86 points and racked up 818 yards in a home-and-away series sweep of the Bucs last year.
But Tampa Bay coach Greg Schiano stacked eight men in the box Sunday and dared Newton to beat them.
The strategy worked.
The Panthers were forced to abandon the running game early after DeAngelo Williams carried twice on The Opening drive and lost 7 yards. He didn't carry the ball again until the second half and finished with minus-1 yard on six carries.
Newton completed 23 of 33 for 303 yards passing, but two interceptions and three sacks in the second half proved to be Carolina's undoing.
Much of the blame falls on Carolina's offensive line.
The Panthers started rookie Amini Silatolu, a second-round pick from tiny Midwestern State, at left guard and he looked confused at times. He was flagged for two penalties and had a hand in two of the sacks allowed on Newton.
Chudzinski and Rivera wouldn't pin it all on Silatolu, saying the entire offensive line lost too many one-on-one battles.
''I think they were more physical and it was a missed block here or there and everybody took their turn'' making mistakes, center Ryan Kalil said. ''This offense requires you to be discipline in how we ID what doing. If you miss one guy here or there it disrupts everything.''
Throw in some self-inflicted wounds in terms of costly penalties and turnovers and you have a recipe for disaster.
Without a running game, the Panthers struggled on first and second downs and found themselves with six possessions where they had third-and-11 or more.
''The good thing is those mistakes can be corrected,'' Chudzinski said. ''We need to get those things corrected and we will get them corrected.''
The Panthers played without running back Jonathan Stewart due to a sprained ankle, but Chudzinski doesn't know he'd have made a difference.
''When you miss a block it isn't going to matter who the running back is,'' Chudzinski said.
Notes: Rivera said the Panthers escaped Sunday's game without any injuries. ... The Panthers are re-sodding a big portion of their field prior to Sunday's game because of damage caused by the Democratic National Convention. Although President Barack Obama's speech was moved from that location due to inclement weather, the structures being in place for more than a week still caused significant field damage.

The incentive to trade Jonathan Papelbon was appealing even before Ken Giles pulled down the brim to his red Phillies hat and confused major-league hitters with his fastball-slider combination. Papelbon, before the 2012 season, signed the richest deal ever awarded to a closer - an anachronistic agreement for a position devalued by the rest of baseball.
The Phillies, not surprisingly, explored ways to escape the four-year pact before the second season ended. But Papelbon carried too many red flags, and a trade last summer was never consummated. Nor was a match found last winter when the Phillies shopped Papelbon, even as general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. offered to assume a large share of the money owed to the 33-year-old reliever.

Rarely have such gloomy economic times produced such sunny philanthropic news for the College. Over the course of little more than a month this summer, Hamilton received four separate million-dollar gifts and wrapped up an Annual Fund campaign that posted remarkable numbers despite the financial storms.
The recent largesse will have an immediate and dramatic impact on the College's students and facilities, but Urgo pointed out that such gifts carry another message as well. "They also signal that Hamilton, through the support of its alumni, parents and friends, is continuing to invest in its students and programs, even during this difficult economy," he said. "Our objective is to emerge from this recession as an even stronger College able to meet the needs of an increasingly talented, capable and diverse student body."

John Dudley: Duncan an antidote for LeBron overload
Maybe you think this NBA Finals matchup is a little too perfect, feeding those conspiracy theories about commissioner David Stern wanting to head into retirement on the heels of the ultimate send-off.
Maybe you're not intrigued by the marquee billing of LeBron James vs. Tim Duncan, with the winner punching his ticket to basketball immortality.
Or maybe you're a Cleveland Cavaliers fan, and you'd prefer to spend the next week or two volunteering for experimental medical procedures rather than witness -- sorry -- James chase a second title since abandoning his hometown team.
But here's a reason to watch, even if it hurts: Duncan isn't just the greatest power forward in NBA history, he's a cool, classy star and a role model for any athlete who will pull on a professional uniform forevermore.
You start with the statistics. His career averages of 20.2 points and 11.2 rebounds over 16 seasons include 13 straight years averaging a double-double.
Owing to a clean lifestyle and remarkable genetics, he's never played fewer than 50 games in a season.
All that production and good health have added up to four NBA titles and three Finals MVP awards, putting him in rarified company even among the league's greatest players.
The other details of Duncan's life only serve to feed the legend. He grew up on St. Croix an accomplished swimmer, but gave up the sport when Hurricane Hugo destroyed the island's only Olympic-sized pool, forcing him to the ocean, where he was spooked by sharks.
He lost his mother to breast cancer on the eve of his 14th birthday, her dying wish to her children that they put their education first.
At Wake Forest, he stayed the whole four years -- imagine that -- as salivating NBA executives waited for him to arrive.
And the rest has been a sports fairy tale, for the most part.
No nationally televised "Decision." No taking his talents to South Beach. No outrageous sound bytes. Just 16 seasons with a single franchise, the kind of run we might never see again.
After what could be considered down seasons in 2010-11 (13.4 points, 8.9 rebounds) and 2011-12 (15.4, 9.0), Duncan came back this seasons, at age 37, and put up his best scoring and rebounding averages (17.8, 9.9) in three years.
His game, always simple and effortless -- hence the nickname "The Big Fundamental" -- seems timeless.
But the end is in sight, and some have speculated Duncan might choose to go out with a fifth title in hand if the Spurs can get past James and the Heat.
So if you plan to sit this one out -- maybe as a disillusioned Cavs fan or as a purist sick of players-turned-mercenaries who chase better offers in bigger towns -- it's worth rethinking that decision.
The Spurs might have just enough left to keep James' second title a carrot on a string.
And even if they don't, they have Duncan.
Miss him at your own risk.

WAILUKU - Dozens of Maui schoolchildren residing at Ka Hale A Ke Ola's two homeless resource centers were treated to complimentary haircuts and styling, school supplies, clothing and craft activities at a back-to-school event Sunday in Wailuku.
The new school year begins today for most of Maui's public school students.
Sunday's event was a first of its kind and provided school supplies for 74 students ranging in age from 4 to 17, according to Tiffany Somera, director of children services for Ka Hale A Ke Ola's Wailuku shelter. The supplies also benefitted clients at the nonprofit's Lahaina facility.

In previous years, donated supplies have been delivered to residents' units.
"Education plays a vital role in breaking the cycle of homelessness, so we saw this as a great opportunity to get the community to come together," Somera said. "It's something uplifting."
Ka Hale A Ke Ola Homeless Resource Centers works to serve the needs of the homeless and hungry on Maui by providing emergency housing and food and empowering them to take responsibility for their lives.
Sunday's event was organized with the help of Lena Staton of AFL-CIO Community Services in partnership with Maui United Way.
The bulk of the donated supplies came from members of three Lions Club organizations: the Haleakala Lions, Maui Lions and Kahului Maui Airport Lions clubs.
Somera researched school supply lists online for each student, and organizers individually prepared and labeled bags.
"The need for resources for children going back to school grows and grows every year," said Staton, who is a member of Haleakala Lions. "We've done school supply drives in the past, but this year we decided to do a little bit more, and it just kept growing as I reached out to friends, church friends and the Lions."
Hair stylists with Great Styles & Cuts in Kihei, Fierce Salon in Kahului and Madison Avenue Beauty & Boutique in the Queen Ka'ahumanu Center donated their services Sunday.
"It's so nice to have them look good and feel good to go back to school," Staton said.
Children anxiously lined up for their turn with a stylist. Some of their parents and grandparents also got complimentary cuts.
"I'm really looking forward to going to back to school now," said Kelly-Jo Molina, a 5th-grader at Waihee Elementary School, who got her hair trimmed Sunday.
Edwin Aveado Jr. said he was looking forward to his freshman year at Baldwin High School after picking out a new backpack and getting a haircut at the back-to-school event.
Other event volunteers did face painting and helped students make decorated pens and name tags for backpacks. A "dress to impress" booth offered donated clothing and shoes for students.
"With the help of the community, we've moved one step closer to helping end poverty and provide for these families in need," Somera said.

Square Remaking Final Fantasy... X (Not VII)
At Sony's press conference, a Square Enix representative took to the stage and talked about Final Fantasy's long-standing relationship with the PlayStation family. And with that in mind, he noted, he knew fans had been clamoring for years time for a certain remake. A million nerds held their breath in eager anticipation of the long-awaited news of a Final Fantasy VII remake. They leaned forward in their seats, listening, and heard the news: PlayStation Vita will be receiving a high-definition remake of Final Fantasy... X. There were riots across America, and Square's headquarters in Shinjuku is still burning. We understand why they're remaking FFX (it was almost entirely a polygon-based game and therefore is a cinch to update into HD, whereas FFVII would require an expensive comprehensive overhaul), but we still admire the audacity of it all. Well played, Square.
Binary Domain's Isolation Chambers
Not counting the litany of bizarre games in the student gaming area (see our Strangest Game writeup), we were bemused by Capcom's odd setup that allowed you to touch (and fiddle with) the Nintendo 3DS' Circle Pad attachment but not actually play a game with it. We were befuddled by Sony's set-up with the Vita, which included separate lines for individual games, tickets for each participant, and an orientation session in which a kind Japanese lady had you tap a bunch of numbers on-screen in case you're somehow unfamiliar with the concept of touch screens. But neither of those seemed as downright weird as the setup for Sega's Binary Domain. Sure, sitting in a theater demo looks normal, but playing the actual game had you stuck in an all-white room with a smiling assistant helping you throughout. Oh, and these isolation chambers each had a single window where everyone outside could watch you. Although being alone in a room with a booth girl is probably a life-long dream for many trade show attendees, the clinical voyeurism of it all was downright bizarre.
- Sony's Vita Tickets
- You Can Touch Frankenstick, But Not Play a Game with It
Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance
Kingdom Hearts has never been known for a great camera system, and when Jeremy tried Dream Drop Distance sans-Frankenstick, he wanted to punch things. Hard. Like, Asura's Wrath hard. So we're giving it this award less because the game will take advantage of the second analog pad any better than any other game that will use it -- we have no idea -- but more because the version of the game we played was so broken without it that we're hoping the pad will come along and save the day.
Diabolical Pitch
Let's be honest -- this is kind of a trolling category. If Kinect games were designed to make you look cool, they'd be designed a lot differently than they typically are. But in Diabolical Pitch's case, looking ridiculous is part of the fantasy rather than an unfortunate side effect. And for that, it deserves an award, even if that award is akin to being called the tallest baby or the most normal Goichi Suda game.
Steel Battalion
The "fun" of Kinect games is for passers-by to mock the player for how goofy they look out of context (see: Dance Central). Project Draco's suite of motion controls is a bit too straightforward to really have much impact, since the game mostly consists of leaning and firing. Grasshopper's Diabolical Pitch is somewhat more involved, but since it all depends on baseball-centric motions, you merely look like you're playing a virtual reality sports game. Steel Battalion, however, makes you look downright crazy. Imagine the snarky derision you might have towards someone with a crazy driving or flight sim setup. Now take that, but subtract all the hardware while keeping the motions. Steel Battalion has you pulling levers, pushing buttons, and adjusting periscopes without physical objects. And when you have to pull an escaping crew member back into the vehicle and engage into a slapfight with him, well, that looks even weirder since there's no one actually there.
Ni No Kuni
Tokyo Game Show hosted quite a few cool trailers; we even collected some of them into an article. These three happened to catch the eyes of our on-site attendees (Jeremy Parish, Matt Lone, and Thierry Nguyen) the most. Dragon Quest X's trailer featured a combination of old-fashion DQ action plus the dawning implication of being an MMO. Monster Hunter 4's trailer played out like an insane version of the T-rex chase from Jurassic Park. Ni No Kuni looked like a Studio Ghibli film with menus. Ultimately, we decided that trailers are designed to look snazzy and entice us into playing their game. And as cool as the other two trailers looked, nothing excited us as much as seeing just how gorgeous Ni No Kuni's trailer was, and that fact that this is what the game actually looks like.

N-of-One inked an agreement with Belgian personalized medicine firm OncoDNA under which it will provide clinical interpretation for all of OncoDNA's next-generation sequencing (NGS) and other molecular tests for patients throughout Europe, the Middle East, and other parts of the world.
OncoDNA provides tumor profiling services designed to help medical doctors choose treatments and monitor tumor evolution. N-of-One's clinical interpretation, OncoDNA says, can provide biological and clinical knowledge and insights related to a tumor's mutation profile, linking this knowledge to therapeutic strategies including clinical trials. In a statement, Jean-Pol Detiffe, OncoDNA's CEO, added that, in addition to clinical interpretation, N-of-One was tapped for its ability to integrate different types of molecular test results into a single report rapidly.
"OncoDNA's industry-leading, molecular diagnostic solutions, coupled with N-of-One's deep expertise in clinical interpretation in oncology, will enable broader patient access worldwide to personalized cancer treatment in a scalable, cost-effective manner," commented N-of-One's CEO Chris Cournoyer.
Back in March, N-of-One teamed up with genomics visualization and analysis software developer BioDiscovery to provide integrated genomic analysis interpretation solutions. It inked a similar deal with Appistry in February to provide genetic sequencing data analysis and molecular interpretation services.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Home Decor
|Traditional, Classic, Casual
What materials did you use? Batik charm pack, batik fabric, fusible fleece, variegated thread, Steam-a-Seam2 Lite
What are you most proud of? Finishing! This is far from perfect but quite adequate as a knock around table topper and picnic quilt. The charm squares are joined almost perfectly (something I enjoy doing) and I like the not-really-random random spacing of the colors. I really messed up the quilting. Stitches are all over the place from very short to awfully long. I'm not that enthralled with the pattern and likely won't use it again. I did learn a lot. As I tell students who have taken my classes, learning what you do not like is as important as learning what you do like. I used a stencil (technique from Ann Petersen's Beyond Basic Machines Quilting course)) to do the looped outer border. Inner boarder was a simple freehand loop. To finish this really quickly I used a fused binding I learned from Robbi Joy Eklow. One UFO finished!
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Take lots of courses so that you learn various techniques. Each teacher does a technique somewhat differently and you need to find the one that fits you the best. When taking a class, do the teacher's technique first. Learn what you like or do not like then go ahead and experiment!
Wow this is just beautiful & inspiring!
After living with this for a while what really makes it is the border. I was fortunate to find a fabric that brought everything together and then the inner border added a spark. It's worth taking a top like this to the store and comparing various fabrics. Thanks for your comment! (And thanks to all who have commented!()
I really like it for the work I. Doing noe. Would love the directions!
No real directions on this. Just put the squares together and add borders.
Sorry I did not have my glasses on ,,,,thank you for answering.
I love the colors and how simple it is. Too,use the complicated patterns. I'm so happy

Guy meets girl but girl brushes him off. This turned guy on and pursues the girl who in the end, falls for the guy as well. Yes, Love Happens is a typical romantic comedy starring Aaron Eckhart and Jennifer Aniston.
Aaron Eckhart is Burke, an author of a bestseller about dealing with the loss of a loved one. He is an effective motivational speaker but inside he still can't get over the death of his wife that happened three years ago. Jennifer Aniston is Eloise the florist. She just broken up with her boyfriend and doesn't want to be involved at the moment.
Love Happens revolves on how Burke and Eloise get close with each other and let love happen. But I didn't see that at all. The chemistry between the two stars were just not there. There's no sparks between them. Maybe it is because Aniston's character was developed poorly that you can't really root for them.
Another thing I didn't like about Love Happens is that it sent out the message that it is okay to go into a relationship even if you're not a hundred percent ready for one. Everything in the movie seemed contrived and unbelievable.
I know that product placement is something that can't be avoided but curing a guy through a shopping spree at a Home Depot is overdoing it. Love Happens felt like a long TV commercial.
Eloise (Jennifer Aniston): If you had a brain in either head, you'd know that I'm doing what's best for both of us.
I'm doing what's best for those who haven't seen this travesty yet. Aside from the cinematography, there's nothing good about it. Love Happens is a very bad romantic comedy. Don't look for love to happen in this movie. There's no romance in this one. It also failed in the comedy department. It failed to make me laugh even once. Plus it is predictable and Jennifer Aniston is a robot in this one. If you're feeling down, avoid this one.

The Securities and Exchange Commission is close to proposing new rules that would govern proxy advisory firms, according to a story published by Reuters Wednesday.
SEC Chair Mary Jo White told an audience at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Wednesday that after sitting in on a previous SEC roundtable on the role of proxy advisory firms, she was particularly interested "in hearing the discussions about improving disclosure of possible conflicts and about how much investment advisers rely upon proxy advisory firms and what this means for their fiduciary obligations."
"The staff now will be making recommendations to me in the very near term about what additional action might be taken on these issues," White told the audience, according to Reuters.
Groups such as the Chamber of Commerce, and some members of Congress, have been pushing for some time on new rules governing proxy advisory firms, which advise institutional shareholders on how to vote their proxies, and which members of the business community say have too much influence over companies. Additionally, critics say that proxy advisory firms are conflicted in their business because they also advise individual companies on their governance structure and practices.
The largest and most influential of proxy advisory firms, Institutional Shareholder Services, owned by index provided MSCI, is set to sell itself to Vestar Capital Partners for $364 million, ISS announced Tuesday. The deal is expected to close in the second quarter of this year.

Four-Year Graduation Plan
Four-Year Graduation Plan requirements and application form
Frequently Asked Questions
How may I join the Columbia College Four-Year Graduation Plan?
- Enter Columbia College as a freshman and make the decision to graduate within four years.
- Meet with your academic advisor and determine that you are currently on track toward your four-year graduation.
- Sign the Columbia College Four-Year Graduation Plan agreement within your first two semesters of enrollment at Columbia College (subject to approval by the college).
What are my responsibilities?
The Columbia College Four-Year Graduation Plan is an excellent tool for communicating with your advisor. Keep in close contact. All of the requirements are outlined in the plan agreement. Some terms of the plan that you are expected to adhere to:
- Register for the next term within the first 48 hours of the start of Day Program registration.
- Take required courses at the times they are available.
- (If a chemistry major) Take CHEM 110 during your first semester of enrollment.
- (If a mathematics major) Take MATH 150 or a higher level course during your first semester of enrollment.
- Earn a quarter of your required credits each year.
See complete Plan for all Plan requirements
May I perform an internship or study abroad while on the Columbia College
Four-Year Graduation Plan?
Yes. That's the value of mapping out your four years at Columbia College and working closely with your academic advisor. Explore the array of opportunities available to enrich your undergraduate program and incorporate them within your four-year plan. Earn credit while traveling abroad with Columbia College's annual study abroad programs.
May I change majors or delay declaring a major?
Yes. You can change your major, delay declaring your major or add minors or additional programs at any time. You'll still be on the Four-Year Plan if, at the time you change, your academic advisor and you determine that you can still graduate within four years of entering Columbia College as a freshman and your change in major is approved by the vice president and dean for academic affairs.
What happens if I fall behind in credits while on the Columbia College
Four-Year Graduation Plan?
You would no longer be in the Columbia College Four-Year Graduation Plan. However, once you catch up, i.e. earn one-quarter of the applicable credits, in the prescribed sequence, for your degree program for each year since entering as a freshman, you're back in the program. You can use summers to catch up. Catch-up credit can be taken as a visiting student at another institution and incorporated into your four-year plan.
May I use the Cooperative Cross-Enrollment Agreement with the University
of Missouri-Columbia and Stephens?
Yes; however, course availability at the other institutions is not guaranteed.

Databasing in the Museum World This Week
It has been rather quiet at work lately - lots of databasing so that everything is ready to go online in a couple of weeks. I can't wait, its what we have all been aiming for over the past two years! I shall let you all know when 'Operation St. Aubyn' is complete.
As for Queen Elizabeth and the Plymouth Strawberry... well now I think it was that she used to have one pinned to her dress, rather than embroidered... still looking for the text where I read that. Family tree is going along nicely. My camera is broken however, so I am waiting for my crazy-botanist friend who is never without his. He will be with me introducing Plymouth Strawberries back in to the wild this weekend. What fun!

"Outsourcing enables these types of businesses to help support business unit alignment, restructuring and strengthening and getting better visibility into their data. This ultimately improves financial management and supports innovation and product service creations," explains Rona Shuchat, director, Application Outsourcing, IDC.
And it's exactly what many Oracle On Demand customers are looking for, says Marc Schwarz, senior vice president of Oracle On Demand. "Large enterprises in particular are looking to use IT as an enabler for business transformation and are partnering with us to achieve business success faster and with lower risk," says Schwarz. "For a company like Essilor, that means getting lenses to the right places at the right times and being able to deal with issues such as privacy and new product development. And both Essilor and Exterran want IT to enable their businesspeople to sell. That takes technology as well as people and processes."
Indeed, this question of bringing your IT organization in sync with your users to support different functions and requirements of the business is one that's been long debated, Shuchat says. Surprisingly, outsourcing isn't always looked upon favorably by the business units and end users. Conceptually, business users think of outsourcing as a way of cutting costs, lowering total cost of ownership, and lowering labor costs—all things that sometimes come with the side effect of fewer end-user benefits and services. Sometimes, there's also a misconception that problems with outsourced applications can't be resolved as quickly as those hosted in-house. This presents a problem, because unless the IT department can get buy-in from the business users, even on-demand implementations that promise strong return on investment (ROI) may fail.
This is where extensive communication comes in, says Shuchat. In fact, it's imperative that the IT team make sure that business users are part of the decision-making process from the very beginning. This starts by making it clear to stakeholders how on-demand computing can free up resources that the business can use for value-added activities.
Adds Shuchat, "You need to think about how your current IT resources are being allocated within your organization. Where are people spending the bulk of their time? Are they spending 60 to 70 percent of their time on the maintenance of applications that are not at the core of the business? If so, a hosted service would definitely bring benefits and release those resources for more-critical strategic projects. But if you don't bring in your business users, you're going to have a lot of confusion in the user community as to what functionality is being delivered. Are you planning on just holding on to existing functionality? Are you bringing in new functionality? Making things clear and working directly with business users to support their needs is what's going to help you succeed."
Essilor of America's de La Sayette says he and his team did just that—communicating about both the resources the company had and how it was using them as well as what an on-demand product could bring to the table. "Businesspeople were counting on us, the IT organization, to make sure that we were not jeopardizing the quality and the experience they were used to with the Oracle E-Business Suite and the operational management of those applications. And of course they were also expecting us to improve their experience," he says. This meant not only providing better flexibility around the ERP solution, accommodating growth, and gaining agility, but also explaining how all of these things would affect the business in a positive manner.
In Exterran's case, York was able to communicate the benefits of Oracle On Demand for two merging companies, and most importantly, was able to follow through on delivering those benefits. After the merger in August 2007, the new company, Exterran, integrated the infrastructures and software of two companies into Oracle On Demand. "We were scheduled to go live on Oracle On Demand for all U.S. operations, and we did it on February 4, a day ahead of schedule and ahead of budget—very important for two companies with aggressive timelines to integrate information to run the combined business," York says. The project went a long way toward convincing business users that it was a smart move—in part because the few implementation issues that came up were handled quickly and adeptly.

Bob Carr Theater
The Bob Carr Theater is a major performing arts auditorium in Orlando, Florida and seats 2,518. It was part of the larger Orlando Centroplex organization which manages several facilities. It is now operated by the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts.
The site has been a center for performing arts since 1926, when the Orlando Municipal Auditorium was built. The auditorium was extensively modernized and enlarged between 1975 and 1977, at a cost of $2.3 million, and was renamed for former Orlando Mayor Bob Carr. The original Municipal Auditorium facade remains intact on the interior of the building. Additional modernization was done in 1991.
The auditorium is home to the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, Florida Symphony Youth Orchestra, the former Orlando Opera, and a variety of other shows, exhibits, and events. The Dr. Phillips Center continues to book shows and events at Bob Carr Theater.
The Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts took over operations of the Bob Carr Theater in September 2014. It will continue to provide a home for the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra until the Acoustical Theater is completed in 2018 on the campus of the Dr. Phillips Center. Upon completion of the Acoustical Theater, Bob Carr Theater will be re-purposed and may be renovated to be used as a world class video gaming competition complex or as part of the proposed Creative Village.

Java enum FAQ: Can you share a Java enum switch example, i.e., how to use an enum with a Java
switch statement?
In my earlier Java enum examples tutorial, I demonstrated how to declare a simple Java enum, and then how to use a Java enum with a variety of Java constructs, including a Java switch statement, a for loop, and an if/then statement.
In this enum tutorial, I want to just focus on using an enum in a switch statement. Hopefully this Java enum switch statement example adds a little more complexity to my earlier examples.
A Java enum switch statement example
In this enum/switch example, I declare a Java enum type that looks like this:
enum Day { SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY }
Then in the main portion of the program, I refer to that enum, both in my
main method, and in the "print" method that I call from the
main method.
To get rolling, let's take a look at the Java source code for this enum example, and then I'll describe it afterwards:
/** * A Java enum switch statement (switch/case) example. * @author alvin alexander, alvinalexander.com */ public class JavaEnumSwitchCaseExample { public static void main(String[] args) { // loop through the enum values, calling the // print method once for each value for (Day d: Day.values()) { printTodaysThought(d); } } // a method that prints a String corresponding to the day value // that is passed in. public static void printTodaysThought(Day theDay) { switch (theDay) { case MONDAY: case TUESDAY: case WEDNESDAY: case THURSDAY: System.out.println("Working for the man :)"); break; case FRIDAY: System.out.println("TGIF "); break; case SATURDAY: case SUNDAY: System.out.println("Ahh, the weekend ..."); break; default: System.out.println("What day is it?");; } } } /** * Our "Day" enum type */ enum Day { SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY }
When you compile and run this Java enum/switch example class, the output looks like this:
Ahh, the weekend ... Working for the man :) Working for the man :) Working for the man :) Working for the man :) TGIF Ahh, the weekend ...
The output is in this order because the enum begins on
SUNDAY, and goes in order from there until
Java enum switch example - discussion
As with any Java program, the flow of control starts in our
main method. In the
main method, we jump right in with this enum for loop code:
for (Day d: Day.values()) { printTodaysThought(d); }
This "enum
for loop" iterates through all the values in our
Day enum, using the
values method that comes with the Java enum type. That's really the only "trick" in this code; the rest of this is a standard Java 5 for loop, and it calls the
printTodaysThought method once for each constant in the
Day enum.
printTodaysThought method takes one
Day value (
theDay), and compares that variable against the constants that are shown in our Java switch statement. For the values MONDAY through THURSDAY we print one String; for FRIDAY we print a different String; and SATURDAY and SUNDAY print their own String. If a calling program manages to somehow call this method with a different
Day value -- something which should be really hard to do, unless we add a new value to the
Day enum -- flow of control will fall down to our
default expression.
I hope this Java enum switch statement example has been helpful. Between my original Java enum tutorial and this "enum switch tutorial", I hope it has helped to see at least two examples of how to use a Java enum type with a Java switch statement (sometimes called a Java case statement).
If you have any questions or comments, please use the comment form below, and I'll get back with you.
Java enum - What's Related
As I finish up my Java enum series, here's a collection of the Java enum tutorials I've put together during the last week. I hope you find them helpful:
Beware of nulls
Thank you for the nice example. Please note that in "switch (theDay)", of theDay is null, you'll get a NullPointerException. Yes, enums are objects, so a variable of enum type may be null. You might have expected that null would fall under the "default" case; not so.
