Introducing the College Greenlight Scholarship Marathon
The post below is from Krystina Bryiones, the Community Outreach Manager for College Greenlight
We believe that all students deserve to attend a college that will allow them to succeed to their fullest potential. Finding that college, however, can be challenging for students how don't have easy access to effective college admissions support and resources. College Greenlight's goal is to make it simpler for first generation and underrepresented students to explore, attend, and afford their dream college.
By providing a unique variety of free search and profile tools for students, counselors, and community-based organizations, we connect students with colleges that match their character and abilities, greatly increasing their chances of success in school and after. We encourage students to look beyond basic admissions requirements and focus on factors such as social fit and support programs. We also provide resources, publish articles, and create events to help students fund college by highlighting special scholarship and financial aid opportunities.
Our latest event is the upcoming College Greenlight Scholarship Marathon, which will be held on Saturday, March 2, 2013, from 10am – 10pm CST.
We all know how important it is to apply for scholarships, but unfortunately many students do not take the time to do so. The Scholarship Marathon is a perfect opportunity to take charge of your scholarship search alongside the College Greenlight community.
The Scholarship Marathon is an online event, which allows students and counselors to join us for however long they'd like! However, keep in mind that you must have computer and internet access to join us for the marathon.
Participating students must have a completed profile on our website. Filling out a profile is free, and gives each student access to our incredible scholarship database. You can start your student profile simply by visiting collegegreenlight.com and clicking on the red button.
For any student interested in participating in our upcoming Scholarship Marathon, here's how it works:
Before the big day:
Click here! You will be directed to our Facebook event page where you can click to join the marathon.
Prior to the big day, take some simple but important steps to prepare your scholarship applications. Identify which scholarships require essays so that you can start them early! Finally, collect any information that might be required for your scholarship applications, including the following: transcripts, test scores, names and contact information for references, and a list of official club or after-school program affiliations.
We will be updating our Facebook, Blog, and Twitter with tips, scholarships, and advice for participating students throughout the month of February. Make sure you are getting all the help we have to offer!
The day of the Scholarship Marathon:
On the day of the event, log on to Facebook, and head over to our page. All throughout the day, we will be posting updates, sending encouragement, and announcing prize winners from our Facebook page! Students will also have the opportunity to chat with the College Greenlight team to get advice on how to search our database for scholarships, or ask us any other questions they might have throughout the day.

For each scholarship application you complete, send evidence of the completed application (via screenshot, digital photo, or completed application receipt) to firstname.lastname@example.com, accompanied by your name, CBO affiliation (if you have one), and telephone number. These photos will serve as raffle tickets.
We will be holding hourly raffles for participating students. Winners will receive gift cards that can be used for college expenses, textbooks, or furnishings for their future dorm rooms. We will also be awarding one participant a $1,000 College Greenlight Scholarship Marathon Scholarship!
We hope you'll join us for the Scholarship Marathon, and that you are excited about spending a day applying for scholarships in a supportive, encouraging environment!

Your Greg Peavey update: Other than the Swoosh on his pro team's jersey undershirt and the fact that he competed four years for a Swoosh-dominated Division I baseball school, there's not much of an excuse for this item in this roundup. But major league baseball's draft this week got me thinking about Vancouver (Hudson's Bay High School/Oregon State University) pitcher Grey Peavey. I watched Peavey when he was a 12-year-old playing in the Little League World Series for Hazel Dell in South Williamsport, Pa. I wondered what became of Peavey. He's doing fine in his first year in the New York Mets system. Better than fine, actually. One of those two links is an interview in which he recounts the Little League World Series experience.
FIFA, rhymes with thief-ah: Last week, when alleged mismanagement of FIFA was in the news, Adidas was prominently mentioned as one of the major sponsors urging the worldwide soccer body to get its act together. None of the stories, though, said how much Adidas was believed to be paying for that annual sponsorship. The Birmingham News of England reported today in a story: "FIFA's six global 'partners', including companies such as Sony, Adidas and Visa, pay world football's governing body annual fees of between $24 million and $44 million." Also in The Birmingham News, sports business columnist Peter Sharkey marvels that anyone could really have been surprised that FIFA is a corrupt organization. Excuse me now while I continue my education by finding out who Nemanja Vidic is. In the meantime, a blurb from Sharkey:
The question many football supporters will be asking is 'how can this problem be tackled, ideally with the ferocity an angry Nemanja Vidic?'
The answer is that, in the short term at least, it cannot.
Barring a mass walk-out by at least 100 football associations from FIFA, the likelihood is that the governing body will roll off the ropes and continue in its unreformed, unrepentant state.
On a lighter note: To finish things off, a preview of the new Adidas Soccer "All In" commercial before it premiers tonight during the Chicago Fire vs. Sporting KC game on ESPN2. Keep an alert eye for an all-important goal scored by the Portland Timbers' Kenny Cooper against Real Salt Lake earlier this year. One nil, Timbers, you may recall.

This summer, Specialty Manufacturing Inc. (SMI) entered a partnership with Century Park Capital Partners, a private equity firm in Los Angeles.
Officials on both sides of the agreement pointed to the opportunities for growth that SMI would see with support from a deep-pocketed equity sponsor.
The Pineville, N.C.-based company, which supplies the school bus industry with such safety products as stop arms, crossing-control arms and roof hatches, will continue with its current management and operational structure. John Ellison and Gray Ellison will continue as shareholders and members of the board, with Gray Ellison continuing as president.
SBF Managing Editor Thomas McMahon spoke with Gray Ellison for insight on the partnership and its effects on SMI.
What prompted SMI to partner with Century Park Capital Partners (CPCP)?
John [Ellison] and I always expected that Specialty would continue to grow. Throughout Specialty's history, we have achieved this growth by broadening our product portfolio. It was our belief that we would need to make significant acquisitions to keep pace with our goal growth rate. Hence we began a search for a partner whose philosophy was in accord with our own.
What are some of the key advantages of this type of partnership with a private equity firm?
They open the door to lending opportunities that were not available to us before. They bring a great deal of experience, as well as different perspectives from other industries. We also have access to a number of other companies that are affiliated with Century Park. It is our goal to realize some synergies with these sister companies, with the aim of helping SMI as well as our customer base.
How will this change SMI?
We expect the change to be transparent. We will continue to strive to service our customers in a fashion that adds value to their organization. All of our management team will stay intact, and day-to-day business will continue as it has since SMI's inception. Century Park prefers to stay under the radar and put their resources to work on a more strategic level.
Does SMI have any new products in the works that you'd like to talk about?
We have several developments that are in motion at the moment. Unfortunately, I think it is a bit premature to unveil those at this time.
What about enhancements to existing products?
We made several upgrades to some of our existing products. The electric stop and crossing arms have a new module that we call "Sentinel technology." It replaces the exposed micro switches and relays that could be susceptible to difficult weather conditions. We have also migrated to a new LED light for our stop arms that we worked with SoundOff Signal to develop, where our customers will experience a significant difference in its brightness. And finally, we have designed an air crossing arm that utilizes an air diaphragm located behind the bumper. This development leverages our time-tested air technology to a modern integrated application. These are a few examples, but our sales and engineering groups are always striving to identify ways to make our products more reliable and user-friendly.

Brother, that sounds EXACTLY like something I would do.... LOL
May 21, 2012, 09:53 AM
LOL, I feel your pain. I ordered my .50 and was away when it arrived. The owner of the LGS loaded it in our SUV. The wifey didn't know how much it weighed until she tried to carry it in the house and UP the steps. I give her though, she wasn't going to leave it in the vehicle. In its case and with the packing 55lbs and 2, 100 round cardboard cases of ammo(67-70lbs for both), I still hear about it.
May 21, 2012, 10:15 AM
"Feel the burn"... Both of them - her's and then yours.
Flowers, wash the dishes, foot rubs... buy her something pretty.

I'm in the same position as you as far as having a semi-anti gun wife, but she no longer heckles me about brown boxes arriving at the door because I no longer ask how much she spends on shoes, outfits, hair products, et.al.
It works much better for us both that way. :D

May 21, 2012, 03:21 PM
Yeah, might want to make sure you're home for that. Sort of reminds me of this weekend when my best friend and I got home from the gun show, each of us carrying a case of ammo. I believe his wife's comment was: "Did you really need more ammo? I'm pretty sure you have a box or two on the shelf still." I think in his case he just needs to sneak it in.
My wife on the other hand: "Well at that price of course you couldn't not buy it. Besides you only have one case out in the garage." I love that woman.

I just have to worry that she'll shoot it up before I get home
... not quite, but she surely doesn't mind signing for the packages I order, half the time there's some of the new stuff in the range bag and the rest stored by the time I wander in
May 21, 2012, 05:34 PM
I definitely don't have to deal with an anti wife. I'm a bachelor.
May 21, 2012, 05:37 PM
Unless you can't afford to pay the bills, whats the big deal?
May 21, 2012, 09:55 PM
I just have to be careful not to order anything shiny. The last time I ordered I looked through my stuff and could not find the silvertips. She says they are hers.
May 21, 2012, 10:02 PM
My wife says " Tell her to suck it up, she buys stuff she likes all the time "
that really is, on my mothers good name. What she just said word for word.
" The only time I would be mad is if we where trying to save money, or if you lied about it "
Man... I love my wife.
May 22, 2012, 08:32 AM
That's why I'm expanding my collection as much as I can now, I'm sure it will slow WAY down when I get married :D
But like someone pointed out, if the bills are getting paid and there's food on the table I've done my job so I'm gonna play if I can.

SOOO glad to be single sometimes...
Have a buddy who just intalled new hardwood floors, bought all new living room furniture, put up new curtains and paid a professional "interior decorator" to come and instruct him where to move each piece of furniture down to the millimeter (of COURSE the person you're paying doesn't move the furniture FOR YOU) to make the living room in-line with the latest TV style trends (also, apparently, to minimize available floorspace and make near-impossible the act of walking in the living room). All because the missus was tired of the way it looked before.
Now he's gonna have to give the rifle he planned to buy from a friend, back to said friend, because the missus says "We don't have the money for buyin any ******* guns right now!"
I gave him my thoughts on the situation, he just shrugged and said "If momma ain't happy, nobody's happy."
From the sounds of it, i'd be a horrible husband. Wouldn't stand for that crap.
Holy topic creep, Batman... Sorry!
May 22, 2012, 11:10 AM
The good part is that she's only SEMI-anti, retraining should work. Much cheaper than replacement too... Note: cost of retraining mine so far includes HER two 1911s and PM9, HER range bag, her holsters, HER full array of accessories, at least ten tactical courses for HER, and me learning reloading to save on all of "HER" ammo! Regardless, +1 for my wife!
May 22, 2012, 11:14 AM
Husband grumbles a little about the money spent, but I hear him bragging up the Boy and me to his buddies when he thinks we can't hear him. :rolleyes:
May 22, 2012, 12:00 PM
All kidding aside, to be fair, she is simi-anti for some very valid reasons because she lived through the Vietnam war. Hearing her stories of seeing people blown to bits as she walked to school made me realize that for a lot of people from other countries, there are many reasons not to like guns. From her perspective it's it's hard to see guns as "fun", yet oddly it was she who recommended that we "get something." Unfortunately, that lit the fuse on an all-new hobby for me, so while she tolerates it, she's not thrilled, even after she took the NRA Pistol Class. Sorry for throwing a blanket on my otherwise light-hearted thread.

for every toy i got meself i got the wife something shiny to wear.
time goes by.....years go by; she comments somewhere about year 20 that she has a lot of jewelery....needs another box to keep it sorted. on our 25th annniv i finally tell her about the 1-to-1. she never suspected though she did comment that i must have an awful lot of toys than. bliss can be many things...
the only heavy stuff i order is bullets and they will sit by the front door till i get home.

Guess I'm safe then, I'm always washing dishes, but she's a great cook so I'm not complaining.
Back on topic... if there is one, yeah I try to schedule the arrival of "those parts" when she's not around. She's not necessarily completely against it; she just doesn't like it and thinks that I already have enough.

Liverpool were bloody awful against Wolves. Rafa and Gerrard can spin it any way they but the honest truth is that if you'd swapped kits before the match you could not have been able tell which team was Wolves and which team was Liverpool.
The Reds had one shot on target and that was a fluke more than anything. Who knew that Liverpool's best chance would happen in the opening minute when Alberto Riera flashed a header wide.
Well that was a bit more like it. This was never going to be a night when we out passed Spurs but what we did do was out run and out hustle them, from the first whistle to the last whistle. In speaking of whistles we even had a bit of help from the man in the middle. This made for a nice change after some of the awful decision that have come our way this season.
Aquilani was much better in his advanced role last night and Dirk Kuyt must have ran a marathon. Typically I don't think he is a good selection for the lone striker role, but last night he excelled at it. He actually probably took the hardest chance of the lot when he slotted in Liverpool's opening goal after 6 minutes. He went on to miss 3 easier chances to finish the game off, but kept his nerve with two well taken penalties in minute 90.
The Liverpool vs Reading FA Cup third round replay was a disaster from the 90 second mark on. Once Torres was absolutely clattered into, about 4 second after he gave the pass (four seconds is a long time in professional football) Liverpool's night was going from bad to worse. Torres gets zero protection from the referee's in England, frankly it's disgraceful. Torres has done nothing put continue to pick himself up from hefty challenges since his arrival in Spain and this case was no different as the ref just had a word with him. Regardless of whether that challenge happened in minute 1 or minute 121 it was an booking.
Liverpool played ok for about 6 minutes but just didn't have any real drive. Reading got into the match more and more and had some 3 fantastic opportunities to score. Liverpool finally tested the keeper around the 40 minute mark, by this time Torres was lost to injury and was replaced by Ngog. Liverpool scored against the run of play, Gerrard's cross was put into the Reading net. Only Yossi celebrated the goal as the skipper turned away in disgust.
Just before kick off the number 8 was held up to signal the skipper would not be coming back out as Ryan Babel replaced him. Oddly enough Liverpool enjoyed their only dominate period of the match from about minute 46 to 80, with both Gerrard and Torres off the pitch. Granted Liverpool were playing with 10 men at this point as Ryan Babel was a total waste of space. He never won a single header, jumped out of every challenge and frankly just plain old sucked. After the match, if I was Rafa I would have put Babel in the back of my car and driven him straight to Birmingham's ground to have their owner sign over the 8 or 9 million pound check. He will never make it at Liverpool.
On minute 80 their player made a fabulous run and beat about 4 of our players. With only the goalie to beat he put his shot wide, I felt sorry for the boy at the time. His run deserved a goal. After that moment Liverpool looked shaky. We couldn't get a hold of the ball, passes were nervous and errant. We had chances to kill the game; see chance from Alberto, Ngog and Babel but they were all wasted. It seemed to be that the players stopped believing. As the game went into injury time I felt perhaps we were going to hold on. Then steps Yossi, who was having a stinker anyway, and his reckless challenge resulted in a pk.
Once the game went into extra time their was only going to be one winner, which is a sad statement given this was Reading. They scored a fantastic goal after their right back skinned Agger and Yossi. Yossi had a chance to make amends as he was sent clean through on goal but his shot was pathetic and straight at the goalie. Liverpool had a few half chances but Alberto and Lucas refuse to shoot the ball.
All in it was a terrible night and Liverpool deserved to go out. The news continued to worsen with Torres out for 6 weeks, Yossi out for 3 and Gerrard out for 2.
All that being said I refuse to give up on the a manager that as recently as 10 months ago made us the team that absolutely no one wanted to play, both domestically and in Europe. Things are not going well but we must stand by our manager and hope that he can turn things around.
I try to keep my column about football as much as possible but this weekends events by Tom Hick Junior have forced me to speak about other matters.
His four letter email tirade to a supporter of Liverpool Football Club is a complete disgrace. Tom Hicks Junior learned from his father, which just illustrates the type of man Tom Hicks Senior is.
This email is perfect example of the lack of dignity these two custodians of our club have. They are they type of people who are used to getting everything they want in life and no one stands up to their disgraceful behavior. "Junior" believes he can get away with whatever he wants but in this case he was very wrong. What kind of businessman is sending emails back to his clients in the middle of the night with four letter words in them? I will tell you the kind, a stupid one.
Gillette and Hicks are a continued embarrassment to our club, regardless of the amount of money they spend on players. This is not about football but rather about having respect and class and knowing how to treat people. Hicks and Gillette and their entourage don't have it and never will.
Gillette and Hicks get our club. You are not Welcome at LFC.

Entrepreneurial Drive Cannot Be Taught But Everything Else Can Be
"We raised seed funding from Tech Coast Angels as the youngest team they have ever invested in and still managed to graduate college a semester early."
By Anna Sergeeva (Co-Founder, Planana)
I never thought I would be an entrepreneur.
Growing up, I didn't operate a lemonade stand or lawn mowing business like the entrepreneurs who are "born with it." My parents and I immigrated to America from the Ukraine and, like in most immigrant families, it was understood that I would get good grades to get into a good college to land a good, stable job.
But my life paradigm completely changed when I found myself in a community of Western entrepreneurs who were trying to build their lives and fortunes. They were passionate, tenacious,

From Middleway:
True or False? PETA brings lawsuit against Sea World claiming 13th Amendment rights from the killer whale department are being violated.
Answer: True.
From Falling Waters:
The health care plan is a determined but flawed attempt to provide health care for everyone in America. Is that such a bad thing? Really? And if you think it's "socialist" feel free to return your Social Security check, turn down Medicare/Medicaid, tell the police department to not arrest the person who broke into your house, refuse the fire department when it comes to put out your house fire, etc.
From Charles Town:
Every day, Christianity is being trashed by the very people who claim to follow Christ. Hate is not a Christian value, nor is racism, fear or anything that puts someone down.
From Martinsburg:
To the person from Falling Waters: I totally agree. It doesn't matter if you're black or white. It just matters if you have the wrong look, how you dress, if you have a hood pulled over your head or if you just don't look right. That makes you a dangerous person. I think it's sad that something like that, in this country, can happen.
From Cumbo Road:
Saturday night we had vandalism out here. It could have been very disastrous. Great big flower pots were thrown out into the road, boulders from the railroad underpass were placed in the road and mailboxes were torn up. It must be that time of year again for the kids or whoever is getting out and doing these dangerous things. Someone could have been killed.
From Falling Waters:
I would like to thank Mr. Puller and Mr. Dominico, who were at ROCS this weekend and helped me get my handicapped husband out of the car and into his wheelchair and waited outside until we got back out and helped me get him back into the car. It was very thoughtful of them. It is very wonderful to have really nice people like that in our community.
From Martinsburg:
To all of you complaining about the estimated electric bills - don't you understand that eventually when the power company does read, you either get credit for an overestimate or you pay for the actual read that may be more than the estimates. Either way you are paying the same as you would if it would read every month.
From Martinsburg:
I adamantly oppose the "Hunger Games" craze. I do not understand why our society would promote a movie that encourages children to kill other children. This is very disturbing! We spend money to try and stop violence and bullying, but pay to see killing of others. I think we should band together and vehemently oppose this movie as Christians.
From Charles Town:
Will somebody please tell me how Berkeley County can provide its 105,000 populace with essentially the same services with a $24.9 million budget, while it takes a $25.7 million budget for Jefferson County to serve a population of 54,000?
From Leetown:
The late Mr. Charles Brown was a wonderful, wonderful man to work for. I am sorry to read of his death, but now he is in his eternal home reunited with family and friends. I wish there were more men like him.
From Hedgesville:
The caller from Martinsburg inferring that FDR was a fascist needs to heed the words of Joseph Welch, head counsel for the U.S. Army in the Army-McCarthy hearings: "Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"
From Martinsburg:
I would like to ask the community to please send cards to Anthony Waddell. He is a 13-year-old boy whose life has changed almost overnight. He and his family just found out Anthony is in Stage Two Hodgkin's lymphoma. Anthony loves to receive cards, and they give him a boost of hope! The mailing address is: Anthony Waddell, Ruby Memorial, 1 Medical Center Drive, Morgantown, WV 26506, Room No. 677. To find out more information about Anthony you can go to: www.timmysfund.org/anthony.php. Thank you in advance!
From Martinsburg:
Hey all you Journal Junction readers! I need desperate help. Does anybody have any ideas how to keep cats from digging in flower beds that have mulch in it? They are using it for their own personal use. I was told to try to use moth balls but no luck. Please help.
From Hedgesville:
I'm a taxpayer, and I'm not in favor of having a dog park to walk your dogs in. I don't have any animals at all. It will just turn into another tax thing for the public like our school system is. I have no children going to school, no grandchildren, yet now you all want to make me pay a tax for somebody to walk their dog? We got the whole country out here, and if they can't do it that way, then they shouldn't have an animal.
From Hedgesville:
Congratulations to the Hedgesville High School (HHS) Academic Competition for Excellence (ACE) team. Monday night the Eagles were declared the tri-county Grand Champion. A shout out to all the young adults, and their parents, who participate in the Eastern Panhandle, and a special thanks to HHS ACE team adviser Mr. Bethel for his years of dedication to the team.
From Gerrardstown:
Obamacare is not about health care. It is about federal government control and the over-reach of government into our lives and economy. If a portion of the law is repealed, that is a planned move by the drafters of this law. We must repeal the whole thing because it is so large that every little bit will never be known until it is implemented.
From Martinsburg:
I may be the one who had my keys lost in Charles Town. Please give me a call at 304-886-5585 and ask for John. I would like to have my keys back. Thank you!
From Charles Town:
I disagree with the Republicans and anybody else who opposes Obamacare. I think Obamacare is a good thing considering that I'm paying $500 a month for health insurance for a family of four. On top of that I have $10,000 deductible and a $25 co-pay every time I put a foot in the doctor's office. Who cares if it is constitutional or not? I don't care.
From Martinsburg:
If Potomac Edison would hire and train and actually use meter readers, people wouldn't be getting such high estimated bills and there would be no problems with having to call. Why should we have to read our meters? That's what the power company is getting paid for.
From Jefferson County:
If you are the one who found the credit card please call me at 304-839-7147.
From Johnsontown:
I've been reading where the power company wants us to read our own meters now. They don't realize that some of us old people are darn near blind, and I've been using a magnifying glass to read their bills as it is. I guess I could do it if it'll knock a couple hundred dollars off my bill each month, since it is going to be saving a busload of money. Well the power company won't have to pay somebody to come out and read it and need a person with an automobile and gas in the up keep. In fact it might come to a total of $500 for each customer.
From Rippon:
There are a lot of things in the details of Obamacare that people don't look at. Such as in one clause, it says that on all property tax transfers there will be a 10 percent tax to the federal government. When asking a politician whether it was for the buyer or seller to pay, he just stood there and smiled at me, which led me to believe that it was from both. This is the other sort of thing we don't need in this so-called Obamacare.
From Harpers Ferry:
A child was a 2011 state champion wrestler and undefeated for three years in the JJWA league. No special recognition at the award ceremony. What's up with that situation?
From Charles Town:
Last week I lost a set of keys in the vicinity of Jefferson Avenue. My telephone number is 304-270-0789.
From Shepherdstown:
To the caller from Hedgesville: Congress consists of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House has a Republican majority. The Senate has a Democratic majority. The House passes multiple bills to address pressing issues. The Senate usually rejects or doesn't even bring these to a verdict. So who is the do-nothing half of Congress?
From Martinsburg:
To the caller from Charles Town who said the caller from Hedgesville was wrong: You might be correct. Insurance companies can no longer exclude you from health care coverage because of pre-existing conditions. However, how many of these insurance companies are going to hold your rates at the same rate that you are paying now? Your premiums are going up, your deductibles are going up, everything is going up. So yes, can you say thank you Mr. President for increasing my rates!
From Leetown:
I'm confused, we already have government affordable health care for seniors. It's called Medicare! As far as I know there is no one who is being considered for procedures or care by a death panel. If that were so, I am sure we would have heard about it by this time and the nation would be in an uproar with all of the retirees marching and AARP on the news.
From Shepherdstown:
The Affordable Health Care Act was passed by Congress and signed by the president. End of story.
From Charles Town:
Does anyone know if the government has commented or started a probe into the incident in Missouri where the 13-year-old white child was doused with gasoline and set afire by several older black youths who reportedly said, "You are getting what you deserve, white boy"?
From Martinsburg:
If you're looking for a great tanning salon, go to Beach Bum in Martinsburg. The girls are always so friendly and willing to help. They have the best beds, and the place is very clean. I have no complaints!
From Charles Town:
Health care is a measure for the government to gain total control over your life. If you don't think this is true, read the mandate about RFID chips in the health care bill. Mark of the beast?
From Martinsburg:
So, are we supposed to feel sorry for Zimmerman's wounds compared to Martin's? There still, as yet, has not been an investigation as to the circumstances in Sanford, Fla. If Zimmerman, in fact, had wounds from a "fight," couldn't they have been inflicted by Martin defending himself (standing his ground)? I sure would do what I could to defend myself!

Changing the Rules of the Game: Offshore Financial Centers, Regulatory Competition & Financial Crises
Andrew P. Morriss
Texas A&M School of Law; PERC - Property and Environment Research Center; George Mason University - Mercatus Center
November 1, 2009
U Illinois Law & Economics Research Paper No. LE09-031
Politicians from New York District Attorney Robert Morgenthau to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown are blaming offshore financial centers (OFCs) for contributing to the current global financial crisis by failing to adequately regulate their financial industries. These criticisms are mistaken for three reasons. First, OFCs offer different rather than less regulation. Since most OFC financial products are aimed at sophisticated and institutional investors, OFC regulators are less concerned with protections for retail investors than are regulators in jurisdictions like the United States. This enables them to adopt less costly regulations that are still effective at preventing fraud and other financial crimes. Second, OFCs play a particularly important role in providing regulatory competition. OFCs have innovated in areas of law from captive insurance to trusts, pushing onshore jurisdictions like the United States to respond. For example, Vermont has innovated in captive insurance in response to competition from Bermuda and the Cayman Islands. Third, OFCs provide an important means for onshore jurisdictions to price discriminate in their taxation. Without OFCs, companies based in high tax jurisdictions like Canada, France, and the United States would find it more difficult to compete internationally with companies from lower tax jurisdictions. Preserving OFC-competition thus benefits onshore jurisdictions.

As I've argued before, Moore was a lot better in 2011 than many observers would have you believe and nothing proves that better than the fact he had the sixth-best passer rating in the ENTIRE NFL over the last nine weeks of the season.
It also wasn't like Moore hadn't proven before he could be successful — he had done it in the last month and a half of the 2009 season while with Carolina.
Even then, the Panthers drafted Jimmy Clausen in the second round the next spring. So the Dolphins drafting Ryan Tannehill in the first round this April after Moore was so effective in 2011 was not a new experience for Moore.
For the 2011 season, Moore ended up with 2,497 passing yards with 16 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He guided the Dolphins to a 6-3 record over the last nine games. His 87.1 passer rating for the season was the best of his career.
Along with Moore, other Dolphins honored Friday night were linebacker Karlos Dansby, who won the Don Shula Leadership Award for the second consecutive year, and kicking specialists Brandon Fields and Dan Carpenter, who were named co-winners of the Nat Moore Community Award.

Charleston police are looking for two more suspects in connection with an armed robbery and burglary that happened Wednesday on Cooper Street.
They arrested one of three suspects Thursday, charging Robert Coaxum, 25, of Sheppard Street, with armed robbery, possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime, and first-degree burglary, police spokesman Charles Francis said.
Coaxum is being held at the Charleston County jail.
Police say the victim was at home when three black males, armed with guns, entered the apartment and demanded money.
The men stole money and electronics, then fled the apartment, Francis said.
Police have identified another suspect, Sherrone Donell Carson, 35, of Sierra Drive North in Charleston. He was being sought, Francis said.
Investigators were still trying to identify the third suspected robber.
Anyone with information about the robbery should call Charleston Police at 577-7434 or Crime Stoppers at 554-1111.

Wednesday, June 11, 2014
In November 2013, DD2 students were given the opportunity to paint a mural on the 100-year-old water cistern behind the Summerville Dorchester Museum.
The student-artists came from Fort Dorchester High, Summerville High, Ashley Ridge High and Rollins Middle School of the Arts. The design consists of a pitcher of icy sweet tea, pouring onto the white background of the cistern and becoming a river, which winds through Summervilles history.
The students artwork takes up one side of the cistern. The other side remains blank but only for now; the museum is adding another mural to the cistern.
June 9 the Town of Summerville Finance Committee met and voted unanimously to authorize the mayor to execute a five-year lease agreement with the Summerville Dorchester Museum. In addition, committee members voted unanimously to approve a second mural proposed for the cistern.
This new mural will consist of a train a locomotive from circa 1840.
Edward H. West, president of the museums board, said once the museum receives the OK to do so from town council, the mural will hopefully go up within the next few weeks. West said an artist will be painting the mural instead of students.
A train was selected for the artwork because of how it represents Summerville.
The train is central to historic Summerville, West said, reflecting on the commuter train that began travelling between Summerville and Charleston by the year 1850.
West said the museum board is looking forward to completing the cistern.
We all think its wonderful, he said. Were all aboard.

4-5 September 2008, University of Northampton
The figure of the soldier in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Britain was the site of some intriguing tensions. On the one hand, the military had a prominent role in the construction of national and gender identities. On the other, the army could be politically distrusted, soldiers often occupied a marginal position in society, and even the manliness of the profession could be called into question.
Recent years have seen much interest in the relationship between war and British culture and society, as scholars have re-examined conflicts from a range of innovative perspectives. This conference therefore aims to gather together scholars from various disciplines in order to explore the practice and representation of soldiering from the Seven Years war, through the Revolutionary and Napoleonic conflicts, to the 'small' colonial wars at the beginning of the Victorian period. The conference is aimed at both postgraduates and more established scholars.
Keynote lectures will be given by Professor Ian Beckett and Dr Philip Shaw
Possible topics might include, but are not restricted to:
·Citizen soldiers and the 'amateur military tradition'
·The 'face of battle'
·Military memoirs and the 'soldier's tale'
·Literary, artistic and theatrical representations of the soldier
·Soldiering as a career
·The military and politics
·Gender and the body
·Britain as a 'martial nation'
For further details about the conference, please contact Dr Matthew McCormack at email@example.com. If you wish to offer a paper, please send a 200 word abstract and a short CV to Dr Catriona Kennedy at email@example.com by 1 March 2008.

Famous Short Thanksgiving Poems. Short Thanksgiving Poetry by Famous Poets. A collection of the all-time best Thanksgiving short poems
One Day is there of the Series
Termed Thanksgiving Day.
Celebrated part at Table
Part in Memory.
Neither Patriarch nor Pussy
I dissect the Play
Seems it to my Hooded thinking
Reflex Holiday.
Had there been no sharp Subtraction
From the early Sum --
Not an Acre or a Caption
Where was once a Room --
Not a Mention, whose small Pebble
Wrinkled any Sea,
Unto Such, were such Assembly
'Twere Thanksgiving Day.
Part in peace: is day before us?
Praise His Name for life and light;
Are the shadows lengthening o'er us?
Bless His care Who guards the night.
Part in peace: with deep thanksgiving,
Rendering, as we homeward tread,
Gracious service to the living,
Tranquil memory to the dead.
Part in peace: such are the praises
God our Maker loveth best;
Such the worship that upraises
Human hearts to heavenly rest.
I eagerly hope and wait
For your salvation, O Lord
All your testimonies have I kept,
Loving and obeying your law
All my ways are before you
And your precepts, I have observed
Hear my mournful cry, O Lord
Give understanding by your word
For your word shall deliver me
And my lips pour forth your praise
With thanksgiving and renewed trust
For you instruct me in your ways.Scripture Poem © Copyright Of M.S.Lowndes
Reconciled by death's mild hand, that giving
Peace gives wisdom, not more strong than mild,
Love beholds them, each without misgiving
Each on earth alike of earth reviled,
Hated, feared, derided, and forgiving,
Each alike had heaven at heart, and smiled.
Both bright names, clothed round with man's thanksgiving,
Shine, twin stars above the storm-drifts piled,
Dead and deathless, whom we saw not living

A Night on the Town brought the Amarillo United Citizens Forum Inc. almost $14,000, and donations are still rolling in, according to the Rev. Michael DeVaughn, director of the AUCF's Black Historical Culture Center.
DeVaughn said 300 supporters gathered for a champagne reception, dinner, a tribute program and auctions, all part of the AUCF's annual black-tie fund-raiser, he said. Funds raised through the gala will go for AUCF community programs.
The highlight of the evening came when the organization paid tribute to Johnny N. Allen and the late Nathaniel J. Neal, he said.
Silent and live auctions produced lively bidding. Stanley Stoerner produced the knock-out $400 bid to walk away with a pair of Muhammad Ali's boxing trunks, Sheryl Johnson shelled out $246 for an autographed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar basketball, and Roger Scott bid $95 for an autographed photo of Dennis Rodman.
Mayor Kel Seliger also contributed baseballs autographed by baseball great Hank Aaron and major leaguer David Justice to be auctioned, DeVaughn said.
The party migrated from the culture center, at 901 N. Hayden St., to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clemon Whitaker for a dessert and jazz party, DeVaughn said.

This is part four of five on alleged "25 rules of investing" that Jim Cramer has listed on his site, TheStreet.com, plus my own commentary. The first five were basically cute little catch phrases on some common-sense rules. Rules six through ten were a little more insightful, speaking to more subtle ideas such as not buying a crappy stock because you think it'll be acquired (because it probably won't). The early to mid-teens touched on some rules for the more experienced investor or someone who just needs a little prodding to ensure they're looking at everything objectively. Let's see what the next five yield…
Rule No. 16 – Never Subsidize Losers With Winners [3]
You should read the explanation yourself but it's a good thought – don't sell a stock that has performed well so that you can pump it into one you thought was going to do well but instead has tanked.
Rule No. 17 – Check Hope At The Door [4]
This is another one those "kick you in the head" type rules – a rule you know, I know, everyone knows but because of human nature, we ignore it. Don't hope a stock will go back up, don't hope that it'll split or get acquired, leave hope at the door because she can't guess the market any better than million dollar mutual fund managers.
Rule No. 18 – Be Flexible [5]
Stocks don't live in a vacuum and things change. Conditions that made your purchase a good decision (at least in your mind) may not exist anymore, so get out. Don't buy and hold through turbulent times if the turbulance affects the very reasons why you purchased the stock.
Rule No. 19 – When the Chiefs Retreat, So Should You [6]
This isn't a rule about insider trading – everyone can tell you that when an exec sells stock, you probably want to also. This is better: When a CEO quits for personal reasons, dump the stock. You should also read this article because it's pretty funny. Here's an excerpt:
CEOs don't quit for personal reasons. CFOs don't quit for personal reasons. These are fabulous jobs. You get them after giving up much of what people enjoy about life, such as family, friends and nights out.
Rule No. 20 – Giving Up on Value Is a Sin [7]
Buying low, selling high – and waiting after you do buy low. He details some examples of stocks at 52-week lows with tremendous value but no buyers. The reason, he claims, is because investors aren't patient enough to buy into these "lows" and wait for the highs to rematerialize. He has good points but I don't think most of us know if we're looking at a valley or if we're looking at cliff.
Only five left… look for them in the coming days.


text: When you are ready for a great battle of strength, you can bet that boxing tickets from Vivid Seats are your best option. There is a lot going on in the boxing world lately. Vic Darchinyan is ready to take on Joseph Agbeko for the bantamweight title this coming summer. It's going to be a really great fight too, because Darchinyan is coming off of a hefty battle in February, when he went 11 rounds with Jorge Arce and ended up with a win. Now he wants to achieve his highest goal for the year, winning the title. In other news, Amir Khan was able to outlast Marco Antonio Barrera and is working his way towards the lightweight championship. Half a year ago he suffered a major competitive setback, but now he's back and seems ready to really fight it out. Fasten your seatbelts, these fighters are getting ready to win matches and they wont let anyone stand in their way! Don't miss it!

Phillip, I use an HP1010 laserjet. It prints plain ASCII. The 1010 is

DinoHunter, we were posting at the same time. Great minds think alike.
ETA: And don't worry so much about leaving him in his crate while you're gone. I know EXACTLY how you feel but there's nothing to be done for it-- you have to work. Obie will be SO much safer in his crate than left in your room. It'll be fine, I promise. You'll get through this.

After relating in the second installment of these articles some of the gratifying results achieved through my own use of inbreeding, linebreeding, and "family" breeding, I stated that the "HOW" would be explained. I also mentioned an advertisement appearing about 1940 in THE SHEPHERD DOG REVIEW in which I announced by intention to build a distinctive strain within the breed using three great males. In that announcement I gave their names and the reasons each was to be utilized as a foundation head, stating that they were closely related.
Building a Strain
Up to that time my breeding operations had been of the sort practiced by the average dog fancier, fully 98% of them, I would estimate. This consisted of mating the best bitches I could get to the best available males, regardless of related bloodlines. It is true, however, that for many years I had practiced compensatory matings — using studs strong in characteristics in which the bitches needed improvement. This was a plan, but not a breeding program such as I then inaugurated, although it produced more than the average run of good specimens which are bred by those who make only hit-or-miss matings, but still it did not give me multiple Champion litters, or establish a definite TYPE. As explained in the preceding articles, these results can be obtained ONLY by utilizing the power of inbreeding and linebreeding.
Referred to hereafter by their first names only, these three foundation males were German Sieger, U.S. Ch. Pfeffer v. Bern, his half-brother (same sire) U.S. Ch. Odin v. BuseckerSchloss, and German Sieger, U.S. Ch. Arras a.d. Stadt-Verbert. The common sire of the first two dogs was Dachs von Bern. Dachs' sire had as his paternal grandfather Ger. Sgr. Utz von HausSchutting, while his dam Vicki was sired by Utz. Now we come to Arras, the other male in the triumvirate. His dam was the triple Siegerin (German Grand Champion) Stella von HausSchutting, claimed by the German breeders to be the greatest specimen of the breed they had ever produced. Stella's sire and dam were BOTH by Utz, making her the offspring of a half brother-sister mating. From the above we see that all three dogs stemmed closely and strongly from Utz.
In addition to being thus closely related, each dog had some compensating factors for the others. (Remember as applicable here the several times repeated principle given in the previous installments: "Physical compensation is the foundation rock upon which all enduring worth must be built.") My breeding program was predicated upon "closed-up" bloodlines, commonly designated as inbreeding and linebreeding, hence the importance of that dictum.
Only in a general way are the compensating factors, which I had to consider of importance to the fanciers of other breeds. Every variety may tend to have different shortcomings at one time or another in their history. It may be heads, or feet, or on throughout the entire category of physical structure. However, to make this clearer, I might state that some of the main shortcomings, or faults, most common in our breed at that time were soft toplines, straight (terrier-like) foreassemblies and fading pigment.
In announcing my intention to build a real strain within the breed, using these three males as the foundation stones, I wrote that I was using Pfeffer for his over-all type, noble appearance, excellent rear angulation, and pigment. His half-brother Odin was to be used for topline correction, ideal ribbing, perfection of gait and, in common with Pfeffer, a good shoulder assembly. Arras was being incorporated in my projected strain to increase the strength of Odin's topline influence, as well as Pfeffer's pigment; also for his good, although small, amount of somewhat unrelated blood which brought in traits possessed by the other two which were desirable but not as strong in their dominance as I felt was needed.
Importance in Selection of Bitches
Having decided upon the breeding program as has been briefly outlined, my next step, of course, was to find and obtain the necessary bitches with which to implement it. This is not an easy task at any time, or in any breed. Owners of females of breeding age who have proven themselves, or because of type and bloodlines give promise of being worthy producers, are loathe to part with them. When one adds the stipulation that they must be daughters of certain studs, their procurement becomes increasingly difficult. Suffice it to say here, with no other explanation than that it took me about two years to find and obtain them, I DID get a daughter of each of the above three studs. Moreover, in most respects they evidenced the traits for which their sires were notable, and for which I had chosen them to found a strain.
With only the mention of my foundation BITCHES given above, I am sure I have not sufficiently stressed their importance. It is a much-used aphorism that no stable is better than its mares, and no kennel better than its bitches. That, of course, is true. The most valuable acquisition a would-be dog breeder can make is that of a good bitch or bitches. Without one or more of these, the tasks of breeding superior specimens in any breed is a long, if not indeed a hopeless, one. It is better, surely, if the bitch herself possesses all the attributes of a show specimen, but of great importance also is her genetic background. It is in her bloodlines, as delineated by her pedigree, that her potential worth can best be judged.
Perhaps some elaboration and explanation of that statement should be made, especially as there are those who believe that a top bitch, regardless of what may be behind her in bloodlines, will as likely produce good ones as will another who, though less perfect herself, has a family of good ones behind her. Every experienced dog breeder knows, and it was pointed out in an earlier installment, that sometimes a superior specimen will come from a quite nondescript and hit-or-miss mating. Such a one is an accident or "happenstance." To claim that a bitch is more likely to reproduce in her own image than that of any one of her litter mates, for instance, is to demonstrate an ignorance of the laws of heredity. Which one or ones, if any, in the litter might carry the genes for the characteristics she alone manifests can be determined only by testing them as breeders.
Here as an illustration is just one example of many observed during my experimental dog breeding days. In a litter of eight there appeared only one who was white. Structurally she was the best of the lot and quite a superior specimen. Bred a total of seven times during her lifetime, she herself never produced a white, nor did any appear in succeeding generations, at least not up to the fourth, when I lost track of them. She either did not carry the genes for white, or the genes for pigment, which she carried, were dominant. On the other hand, several of her sisters did whelp whites.
Bitch's Background of Utmost importance
While one of the tenets of all animal breeding is selectivity, this does not mean that a superior bitch, with nothing behind her in sufficient strength to dominate, can be expected to produce as well as another who, although somewhat less perfect in her own structure, has a family tree inbred or linebred upon superior quality.
The sometimes heard statement that "Like produces like" is far from being a dependable truism. BOTH are of importance, the over-all quality and type of the bitch, as well as her family tree, but of the two the latter will be found to have the more influence both for good and for bad. The first article in this series explained why this MUST be true.
It is my desire to get away from the subject of my personal operations, in the matter of building a strain, as quickly as possible. Supplying a record of all, or of even a few, of the inter-related matings would be, I fear, not only somewhat confusing, unless pedigrees were given for study, but would also result in book-length articles unsuitable for a magazine, and particularly for one read by fanciers of all breeds. However, in order to explain the "how," it seems necessary to continue with that subject to a somewhat greater length.
Having obtained the three foundation bitches, each related to the others through their sires, and with one having both Pfeffer and Arras close up in her pedigree, I was ready to begin breeding operations, ready, I thought and hoped, to start a breeding program from which would eventuate a noteworthy strain of dogs.
Choosing the Males
If it has not already been noted by my readers, I should call attention here to the fact that, since my start was made with bitches sired by three closely related males, I was able to dispense with some years of preliminary matings. Had three unrelated sires been chosen, it would have taken several generations of breeding before I could have had in my kennel bitches so closely related in blood as to make inbreeding and linebreeding possible. With two of the foundation males having the same sire (plus other related blood), and the third a close-up descendent of the great German Sieger, U.S. Ch. Utz v. Haus-Schutting, as were the others, I was actually STARTING with linebred animals. (Had either Odin, or his half-brother Pfeffer, been a bitch, and one bred to the other, that would have been inbreeding.)
Therefore one can see how quickly I was "cooking with gas" or, perhaps stated more understandably, doing planned linebreeding, when I bred either an Odin daughter to Pfeffer, or the reverse—and I immediately did both. The results to be anticipated, as described in my first installment explaining what can be expected from inbreeding and linebreeding, were quickly brought forth and plainly visible. It took only a few generations until the type I had wanted to establish and "set" was obtained.
While none of the three males upon which I started the strain was perfect in all characteristics (no dog as yet has ever been), it should be pointed out that not, only were they quite superior specimens in themselves, but each compensated the other in one or more respects. This being true, when some unwanted or undesirable trait showed up, compensation could usually be found in one of the others.
Foundation Blood Intensifies Pedigrees
Year after year, and generation after generation, this foundation blood continued to intensify in the pedigrees of my dogs. MODIFIED outcrossings were made only occasionally. By "modified" I mean that, when reaching out for some needed trait, I used a stud or bitch possessing at least one-fourth, or better, one-half, of the blood of my strain. Both in such instances, and in the rare ones when complete outcrossing was done, I made it a practice to mate one or more of the resultant progeny right back into the strain. By doing this, I did not lose the qualities I had strived to obtain and make dominant, nor did I dissipate them.
Some of the results of this breeding program were reported last month. Multiple champion litters became more the rule than the exception, often with every member who was given a chance, through being shown by its owner, finishing for the title.
Temperament and Mentality not Sacrificed
If any of my readers are Obedience enthusiasts, and not particularly concerned with structural perfection, they may feel that no consideration was given to intelligence and trainability in the building of this strain. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Because the abbreviations for German training degrees would be confusing to those in breeds which did not originate in that country, I purposely omitted them when giving the names and CONFORMATION titles of the three sires upon which the strain was founded. Each of them, however, had received, prior to his importation, one or more training degrees showing he had passed the necessary tests to "graduate." As I now remember it, all three had been awarded the PH. (Polizeihund— Police Dog) degree, which signifies much more than our U.D.T.
The crux of the above dissertation on mental attributes is this: Qualities of the mind, as well as physical characteristics, are subject to the same laws of heredity. My strain became well-known not only because of its members' structural superiority but because of their exceptional trainability in Obedience work as well. One member became top-scoring dog, all breeds, in the United States for two successive years prior to his retirement. It should be stated that I take no credit for this, having neither bred nor trained the dog. The sire of this "dual Champion" (both a bench show and an obedience trial title holder) was a son of Pfeffer, one of my foundation studs, while his dam (one of my world-famous "D" six Champion German Shepherd Dog litter) was so closely linebred on both Pfeffer and Arras as to be considered by some geneticists as inbred.
The belief, and some uninformed breeders' contention, that inbreeding and line breeding per se will cause either physical or mental deterioration is a fallacy many times proven. Consider the breeding of the above dog as just one example of many that could be cited.
Inbreeding and linebreeding cannot be looked upon as a way to bring NEW characteristics into a breed but, as Humphrey states, it "… is a source of never ending combinations of racial characters in new individuals, producing variations, which are COMPARATIVELY SLIGHT EXCEPT WHEN THE TWO PARENTS ARE FROM WIDELY SEPARATED LINES."

Evangelist Franklin Graham says hundreds of thousands of Christians plan to invite their friends to watch the upcoming telecast of My Hope America website
"My Hope America" is a series of creative videos designed to clearly present the Gospel. It will be shown on the Billy Graham's 95th birthday on Nov. 7.
Rev. Graham spent months recording the video. Franklin said his father was unscripted and comes across "like a grandfather" sharing the Gospel and inviting viewers to trust Jesus Christ as their Savior.
Graham was recently released from Mission Hospital in Asheville, N.C., after undergoing precautionary pulmonary tests.
A spokesperson said he was alert the whole time and did not have any problems with the tests.
This summer, he completed his latest book.

California-based J.D. Heiskell & Company continues growing its presence in Weld County.
The company recently acquired a feed mill and storage facility in Platteville from Butterball Inc., and has plans to make over that facility and use it to produce minerals, protein supplements and calf feeds starting in the second quarter of 2013.
The expansion plans also includes adapting the facility to receive grain from local farmers, possibly as soon as the 2013 wheat harvest.
The facility — left by Butterball after that company shutdown its opertions in the area last year — has a storage capacity of 6,500 tons for grains and commodities, and can produce 20,000 tons of feed per month.
In May, J.D. Heiskell & Company opened a regional office in Windsor, after having been active in the local market since 2005.
This summer, Quanah Cattle Co., LLC — a wholly owned subsidiary of J.D. Heiskell Holdings, LLC — received approval from Weld County commissioners to develop a new Holstein calf-raising facility. Like the recently acquired facility in Platteville, the calf-raising facility, too, is going up on a former Butterball site — a farm southeast of Kersey.
There, the company will purchase Holstein calves from local dairies — beefing up the steers to about 300 pounds to sell to feed yards, while selling the heifers, when at the right age, back to the local dairies.
That facility is expected to be fully up and running in about 12 months, and is permitted to have up to 15,000 head, although the actual number of calves is expected to be more in the range of 8,000 to 10,000.
Additionally, J.D. Heiskell — a 136-year-old commodity-trading and feed-manufacturing company based in Tulare, Calif. — also is now leasing grain facilities in Stoneham, Fort Morgan and Wiggins.
Officials with the company have said Weld's large agriculture industry put northeastern Colorado on the company's radar back in 2004, and Leprino Foods opening a cheese-processing plant in Greeley last year only provided more reason for the company to expand operations in the region. Because of Leprino's presence, northern Colorado dairy producers are bringing more than 50,000 cows to the region — growth that is still under way.

How light works. In the reefkeeping hobby, color temperature is measured in degrees Kelvin. The lower the color temperature is on the Kelvin scale, the more red light is perceived by the human eye, while higher temperatures show us more blue light. Fortunately, intense lighting in the blue-green end of the spectrum makes the tank look good and helps keep the corals in the tank healthy.
The right light for your tank. Soft corals and large polyp stony corals do not need as much light as small polyp stony corals (SPS). For SPS corals to thrive, you will need to invest more money in lighting. As with the type of corals kept in a tank, the dimensions of the tank are important to take into consideration when deciding which lights to buy. Deeper tanks (2 or more feet deep) need very intense light that penetrates through more water. Four-foot-long tanks (or longer) are difficult to light because of the length of standard bulbs sold on the market.
Electricity and heat. Electricity and heat are other considerations for lighting the home reef tank. To save electricity and generate less heat, use the most efficient and lowest wattage system that will still provide the right lighting for the tank. A lot of light is lost in a reef tank because lamps light in 360 degrees — at least half of the light generated by the bulb is directed away from the tank. To make use of this light, get reflectors to redirect light heading away from the tank back toward it.
Maintenance. Once you've set up the lights, don't think you can forget about them. Just as any other piece of reef tank equipment, lights need regular maintenance. Light bulbs lose their intensity over time, and they also lose intensity due to accumulated salt spray. Most likely, the diminished intensity of light bulbs over time is not easy to notice. Although your eye may not be able to tell the difference from day to day, coral health will be affected. Keep track of when you install lamps, and replace half the lights whenever coral growth slows down. If the corals begin to grow again, that suggests that the lights had diminished and needed replacing. Several months later, you can replace the other half of the lights. There are also other ways of telling how much your lights have diminished, such as using a light meter designed for measuring light in reef tanks.
Lighting in a reef tank is important for the health of corals. Before investing in expensive and delicate corals, learn all about the science of light and the different kinds of lights available on the market. When you understand how light works, you can choose the right lighting system for your tank and be better prepared to care for corals.
