The Santa Clarita Chamber of Commerce has set up the Ian Gelig Memorial Scholarship Program. The program awards scholarships to veterans, or an immediate family member of a veteran, in pursuit of a higher education.
The application deadline is Friday June 17.
The memorial scholarship program was set up in honor of Sgt. Ian T.D. Gelig, an Army paratrooper, Stevenson Ranch resident and Hart graduate who was killed in Afghanistan March 2010.
Thousands of residents lined Santa Clarita city streets to honor the young veteran in a funeral procession organized by Fred Arnold.
Arnold, a local resident and businessman, along with the chamber leadership wanted to set up the scholarship fund as an ongoing tribute to Gelig.
Scholarships are intended to be used for the Fall 2011 semester and are renewable for up to eight semesters if the awardee maintains at least a 2.0 GPA and provides proof of continued registration.
Scholarship awards will be announced around July 4.
Information on eligibility, selection criteria, the application process and the application form can be found on the SCV Chamber website at www.scvchamber.com.

Overload Principle
The regular application of a specific exercise overload enhances physiologic function to produce a training response
Specificity Principle
Adaptations in metabolic and physiologic systems that depend on the type of overload imposed and muscle mass activated
SAID Principle
under specificity principle, this principle states 'Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands'
Individual Difference Principle
all individuals do not respond similarly to a given training stimulus
Reversibility Principle
detraining occurs relatively rapidly when a person quits their exercise training regimen
Detraining Effect
takes place in half the time that the training effect took place, with complete stoppage to any exercise bouts.
Try to prevent significant training drops by doing some exercise but not the amount you did during the training phase.
Temperature Regulation
well-hydrated, aerobically trained individuals exercise more comfortably in hot environments because of a larger plasma volume and more-responsive thermoregulatory mechanisms. ex: pre-season football
Body Composition Changes
involve resistance (weight training) exercises to prevent loss of lean muscle
Blood Lactate Concentration
an individual gets into anaerobic glycolysis slower with aerobic training
Maintenance of Aerobic Fitness Gains
you can decrease workout frequency but keep the intensity the same
Continuous Training
continuous (long slow distance) training that requires sustained, steady-rate aerobic exercise; includes frequency, duration, rate, and terrain)
Interval Training
specific spacing of high intensity exercise and rest periods; includes continuous factors and in addition, repetition & sets. Recovery time is important. Here you're rebuilding ATP and replenish the phosphagenic system
Fartlek Training
the performer determines the training schema based on 'how it feels' at the time, in a way similar to gauging exercise intensity based on one's rating of perceived exertion. -> go into glycolysis

Date of review: October 9, 2013
In short: My first half marathon, really enjoyed itIn full: I've only done 2 races in my entire life, so I'm no expert. However, both the Wilne 10K and the Tissington Half Marathon were really great, so good I can't wait until next year to do them again. Although I was gutted to miss beating my under 2 hour target at Tissington by 1 minute 10 seconds... Must try harderDate of review: October 9, 2013
In short: Great race mix u of club and ordinary runners great scenery well worth the money In full: Great race .. good mix of club runners and others . tremendous setting and scenery all the way .- nice start in waves as the start was a bit cramped - was still looking for the slight down hill bits and the 11 mile marker but heard this had been taken away by the locals for a bit of fun. despite hot day and getting cramp at 11.5 miles only 5 mins off my pb very pleased and good finish though the slight downhill to go back up gain 150 metres from the finish was a shock - overall good experience and will be entering 2014Date of review: October 9, 2013
In short: Lovely scenery but lonely in placesIn full: Beautiful scenery guaranteed but keep looking for the gradual descent but did not seem to see that - was a bit lonely in places. The water stations were superb and the support at the finish was really good.Date of review: October 9, 2013
In short: Great scenery, lovely weather, great raceDate of review: October 9, 2013
In short: One not to miss!In full: I love this half marathon. Bus from the finish to the start (all worked well) then run to the finish on the trail.

I started as a dancer and grew into being a DJ - I'm more into finding music that makes folks wanna move, and not so much into tweaking knobs. That said, I do need to move toward remixing tracks - the mixing thing is a bit limiting.
Most of my DJ work is for Sacred Circle Dance, an ecstatic "dance church" in Portland, Oregon. My music is less about the styles involved, more about storytelling and the creating a space for dancers to explore.

What is difference between SEO and SEM? please post a reply as I am new to SEO and both these terms confuse me a lot
Re: Seo
SEM is search engine marketing which means marketing the site through search engine where as SEO is something which only deals in getting your site listed higher on regular listing.
SEM is much broader term and SEO is just a part of SEM
Re: Seo
right. SEO is more website construction based and SEM is more of a "click" based advertising. i.e. Google AdWords
Re: Seo
Search engine marketing, or SEM, is a form of Internet marketing that seeks to promote websites by increasing their visibility in search engine result pages (SERPs). According to the Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization, SEM methods include: search engine optimization (or SEO), paid placement, contextual advertising, and paid inclusion.
A combination of Search Engine Marketing to run an internet marketing campaign may include:
* Search engine optimisation (SEO)
* Search engine and directory submission management
* Paid inclusion or Paid Placement
* Link popularity
* Articles submission
* Performance Monitoring and Reporting (eg. Google Analytics Tool)
So in a nutshell, Search Engine Optimisation is basically a component of Search Engine Marketing.
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results.
The acronym "SEO" can also refer to "search engine optimizers," a term adopted by an industry of consultants who carry out optimization projects on behalf of clients, and by employees who perform SEO services in-house. Search engine optimizers may offer SEO as a stand-alone service or as a part of a broader marketing campaign.
SEO techniques can be classified into two broad categories: techniques that search engines recommend as part of good design, and those techniques of which search engines do not approve. The search engines attempt to minimize the effect of the latter, among them spamdexing. Industry commentators have classified these methods, and the practitioners who employ them, as either white hat SEO, or black hat SEO. White hats tend to produce results that last a long time, whereas black hats anticipate that their sites may eventually be banned either temporarily or permanently once the search engines discover what they are doing.
Seo tips
However SEO, SEM and SMM are an ongoing process and requires continuous surveillance and ability to adapt to new technologies and skills to get the maximum benefit possible.

Bradycardia (Brady-Arrhythmias)
A condition when the heart beats become slower than 60 beats per minute, it is medically described as bradycardia or Brady-arrhythmia.
Slower pulse rate is normal for people at the time of sleeping. Athletes undergoing regular training also have lower heart rates between 40 to 60 beats per minute.
Causes of Bradycardia Bradycardia may be present due to certain diseases or people taking medications for slowing down heart rates ( beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers).
Bradycardia is common in elderly people. It may also be seen in infants having congenital heart diseases. The following causes may be responsible for bradycardia:
- Degeneration of heart tissue due to aging
- Damage to heart tissues resulting from heart diseases or heart attacks
- congenital heart defects, defects present at the time of birth
- Mycocarditis or Infection of heart tissue (myocarditis)
- Complications arising after heart surgery
- Hypothyroidism, under-functioning of thyroid gland
- Imbalance of minerals and electrolytes that cause disturbance in conduction of electrical impulses
- Inflammatory disease, such as rheumatic fever or lupus
- Obstructive sleep apnea which is characterized by the repeated disruptions in breathing causing sleep disturbances
- Hemochromatosis, a buildup of iron in different organs
- Medications used for the treatment heart rhythm disorders like high blood pressure
Sinus bradycardia This condition results when the faulty impulse generation in the SA node causes the heart rate to decrease less than 60 beats /minute. Drugs like beta-blockers and calcium-channel blockers are known to be the main causes of sinus bradycardia. Sometimes the impaired impulse conduction to the atrial muscles may be the cause of sinus bradycardia.
Ventricular Bradycardia (VB) due to Hyperkelemia The mineral potassium is very important for regulating the function of the heart muscles, its other cells and nerves. Contractions of the muscles are dependent on the concentration of the potassium in the cells. If the level rises too much the heart beat may become erratic. The change in heart rhythm can sometime become very serious. The hyperkelemia can result in bardycardia. Sometimes it may cause the heart block or ventricular fibrillation.
Heart block (atrioventricular block) Bradycardia may also occur if the electrical signals travelling through the atria are not transmitted to the ventricles. This blockage in the way of electrical signal may occur due to failure of their transmission in the AV node, the bundle of His. It may also result from when the travelling of impulses to the left and right branches of ventricles is affected.
Depending upon the degree to which the signals from the atria reach the ventricles, these are classified in the following categories:
First-degree heart block In this mildest form of heart block, almost all electrical signals from the atria reach the ventricles. However, the rate of signal conduction is slowed down slightly. No treatment is required in such cases if there is no other abnormality in the heart.
Second-degree heart block Not all electric impulses reach the ventricles because some beats getting dropped in the way resulting in a slow and an irregular rhythm.
Third-degree (complete) heart block In this case none of the electrical impulses generated in the atria reache the ventricles. As a consequence of this, the bundle of His or other ventricular tissue starts functioning as an altenate pacemaker for the ventricles. This results in slowing of the heart beats.
Bundle branch block If an electrical signal is interrupted at the end of pathway, i.e. in the right or left bundle branches it is called a bundle branch block. If both the branches are affected, the block can be very serious.
Symptoms of Bradycardia People having bradycardia may show the following symptoms:
- Shortness of breath
- Light-headedness
- Feeling of dizziness or lightheadedness
- Syncope or fainting
- Confusion and difficulty in concentrating
- Chest pain
- Difficulty in doing exercises
- Difficulty in sleeping
Diagnosis and Treatment of Bradycardia Diagnosis of bradycardia is rather straightforward it can be detected by decrease pulse rate. This can be confirmed by the EKG. No treatment is necessary if the symptoms are not observed. Medications that increase heartbeat can be given. If fainting or serious symptoms persist despite medication, a permanent pacemaker may need to be implanted. A pacemaker is mostly installed in case of complete atrioventricular (A-V) block and brady arrhythmia occurring as a result of sinus node dysfunction.

After the biggest trade of the deadline, J.J. Redick made his debut with the Milwaukee Bucks in their 103-102 loss to the Atlanta Hawks.
While Redick came off the bench, he played starter minutes, registering a solid 35. He played shooting guard and small forward, depending on whether or not both Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings were on the floor.
Redick put together 16 points and seven assists on 4-of-9 shooting, sinking all seven free throws and a three-pointer.
While he struggled to get his shot going, the Bucks actually looked a lot smoother with him on the floor.
He made them more threatening offensively when he was in for Luc Richard Mbah a Moute and helped space the floor more in place of Monta Ellis.
Let's break it down and really take a look at how well he worked out for his new team.

Commissioner Dan Beebe offered encouraging words about his league's future. Some university presidents who couldn't avoid the cameras and microphones as they tried to duck out of the InterContinental Kansas City on the Plaza expressed their support of the conference.
But conferences like the Big Ten and Pac-10 - and their current or future television deals - ultimately may determine whether the Big 12 lives or dies.
"I'm very encouraged by the discussions and the course of actions we're taking," Beebe said.
One of those actions may be a deadline for Big 12 schools reported to be targets of other conferences. Specifics weren't offered.
"A process has been set," Beebe said. "It's firm. I'm not going to engage in what it is."
But the Big 12 needs to know who's in or out as it pursues new television contracts, which is a critical component to the league's future. The league can begin renegotiating its Fox Sports Net deal for football games on cable television beginning in April.
The deal figures to be critical to the Big 12's future. A source told The Kansas City Star that the conference's future may hinge on what would provide greater value to Fox Sports Net: a Big 12/Pac-10 alliance that would include several non-conference football matchups or the reported 16-team conference that would include the current Pac-10 schools plus Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Colorado.
In May, the Pac-10 hired Creative Artists Agency (CAA), a Hollywood-based firm, to explore expansion rights opportunities and advise the conference on its next television contract. CAA puts together scenarios for the Pac-10 to consider, like adding schools and the alliance.
"The Pac-10 and Big 12 have been long-time and valued partners of FSN," Fox Sports Net vice president of public relations Chris Bellitti said in a statement. "We look forward to continuing our relationship and discussing whatever options can best help them and their member schools achieve their future objectives."
Like the Big 12 staying in business. If the Big 12 sticks together, Beebe said he expects a big jump in the rights fees. The conference signed a four-year deal through 2011-12 with Fox Sports Net for $78 million. Its eight-year deal with ABC/ESPN for $480 million expires in 2015-16.
Friday, the Big 12 announced it would distribute a record $139 million to its members. The same day, the Southeastern Conference announced it would distribute $209 million to its members.
Beebe said he thinks new television deals would bring the Big 12 in line with the SEC, which will cut each school a check for about $17.3 million.
The power of new TV deals: Last year, the SEC distributed a total of $132 million to its members and this year began cashing in on $3 billion worth of new contracts with CBS and ESPN.
Some Big 12 officials later issued statements supporting the Big 12 and expressing frustration over the speculation avalanche.
"The media speculation is certainly uncomfortable for those of us who have demonstrated that we are firmly committed to the Big 12," Kansas State athletic director John Currie said.
Iowa State president Gregory Geoffroy and athletic director Jamie Pollard took their message to the fans through the school's website. Iowa State, like Kansas, Kansas State and Baylor, has not often been mentioned in expansion speculation.
"We are committed to our membership in the Big 12, and we are optimistic that the conference will remain intact," the message said. "However, we also recognize that the long-term viability of the Big 12 Conference is not in our control - it is in the hands of just a few of our fellow member institutions.
"Iowa State and several other members of the Big 12 Conference are especially vulnerable under some of the re-alignment scenarios currently circulating, particularly one involving expansion of the Pac-10."
A statement from Kansas athletic director Lew Perkins took a more confident tone about the Big 12's future.
"I am very encouraged as these meetings end about the strength and viability of the Big 12 Conference," Perkins said. "We all must stay patient and let this process take its course, but at the end of the day I am convinced that the Big 12 will remain, as it is today, a national leader."
Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany, meeting with his presidents on Friday in Chicago, revealed part of his hand in an e-mail exchange with Ohio State president Gordon Gee obtained by the Columbus Dispatch.
Gee wrote to Delany, "I did speak with Bill Powers at Texas, who would welcome a call to say they have a "Tech" problem."
Presumably, Gee was talking about Texas Tech.
Delany responded, "We are fast-tracking it but need to know the $ and observe contracts. Also need to make sure we leverage this to increase chances of hr additions. Finally double chess of moving parts including not harming brand as we executy."
"HR" apparently meaning home run. Notre Dame and Texas would fit the bill.

FLINT, MI -- The city could shut down one of its oldest parks on property once used as a tent city for hundreds of autoworkers and their families -- an area on the edge of what eventually became Buick City.
Flint's new master plan recommends decommissioning Oak Park, an 8-acre, overgrown playground built on land donated by the Durant-Dort Carriage Co. in 1909.
Oak Park is singled out for decommissioning in the plan because it is located in an inaccessible area and because the once thriving neighborhood around it is gone, leaving it underutilized and isolated, said Megan Hunter, Flint's chief planner.
There is no strict timetable for the plan, which would typically require a public referendum and could lead to a sale of the land. It's also not clear whether a new citywide vote would be required because voters already approved decommissioning the park in a 1984 vote.
In that case, a plan to sell Oak Park to Buick fell through and the property has remained a part of Flint park system.
"I think it played an important part in (Flint) history ... It is important to that (1910-1920) time period, but people don't really travel up that way too much" today, said David White, president of the Genesee County Historical Society.
Restrooms, monkey bars, a slide and swing sets still remain at the park, which is bounded by Baker and North streets as well as abandoned portions of Rankin Street and Industrial Avenue.
Hunter said the property is also mowed as a part of the city's parks maintenance contract.
Flint Journal files say the city acquired Oak Park when it consisted of woods, farmland and dirt paths. It became known as Flint's "tent city," a temporary home to about 1,000 people in 1910 as Buick's hiring flooded the city with new residents.
The Durant Dort Carriage Co., Flint Axle Co., Armstrong Spring Factory, WF Stewart Body Factory, Flint Varnish and Imperial Wheel were among the first factories located in the area, and Durant Dort set aside 20 acres for Oak Park as well as parcels for Baptist and Methodist churches as well as Dort School, White said.
But the city's new master plan says the park no longer serves a clear purpose and should be redeveloped with Buick City, which is is immediately east of the park.
Hunter said discussions could also be pursued with the Flint/
"We have to have a plan for what we're going to do with it" before it's decommissioned, Hunter said.
A 2010 citywide inventory by the University of Michigan-Flint outreach staff rated Oak Park in poor condition and surveyors called it "creepy and uninviting."
"I rode my bike by there many times," said White, who said he's tried in the past to secure a piece of playground equipment for Sloan Museum to help preserve the story of the development of what became Buick City.
City Council President Scott Kincaid said he has no problem with the decommissioning idea.
"There's nobody that lives around there and uses it," said Kincaid, who has volunteered on past cleanups at the park. "It's overgrown, (and) I don't have an issue with it."

Choi Goes into Final Round of Mobile Bay LPGA Classic a Stroke Ahead
Chella Choi of South Korea fired a 6-under 66 to take the 54-hole lead in the Mobile Bay LPGA Classic. The 72-hole, $1.2 million tournament is taking place on The Crossings Course at Magnolia Grove - a stop on Alabama's Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail - in Mobile.
The 22-year-old Choi, whose best finish is a tie for second in last year's Manulife Financial LPGA Classic, posted seven birdies - include three straight on each the front and back nines - and a bogey to reach 17-under 199, a stroke ahead of Anna Nordqvist and second-round leader Jessica Korda (69).
After opening with a 73 and 66, Nordqvist, a 25-year-old Swede with two career victories, posted an 11-under 61 that included 11 birdies, an eagle on the par-5 13th and a lone bogey en route to a new course record. The previous record of 62 was set by American Sydnee Michaels on Friday.
LPGA Hall of Fame member Karrie Webb of Australia, who began Saturday only a stroke back of Korda, shot a 69 and is in solo fourth at 201. Right behind at 202 is American Jennifer Johnson (65), while another stroke back in a tie for sixth are defending champion Stacy Lewis (63) and fellow Yank Michaels (69).
Lewis told reporters that she was a bit more deliberate Saturday after starting with two straight 70s. "I think we were must more careful with our targets and where I missed shots," said Lewis.
"I paid more attention to where I could miss it and still get it up and down, and I think that was the difference. But I hit it a lot more solid today, so I really didn't have to worry about it too much . . . It was just an easy day. I hit it a lot better. It was one of those stress-free days. I needed today. I needed something like that to get back in the tournament."
Sharing eighth at 204 are Eun-Hee Ji of South Korea (67), Thailand's Ariya Jutanugarn (69) and Americans Nicole Castrale (68) and Lexi Thompson (69). Colombia's Mariajo Uribe (68) and Thai Pornanong Phatlum (71) are tied for 12th at 205.

Forest City, Iowa – Two Waldorf College students have returned from the Peruvian Amazon and will conduct in-depth studies of microbial life in soil samples they obtained on their journey.
Biology major Ashley Lutrick and biology education major Samantha Sylvara participated in a research expedition arranged by EarthWatch, an international non-profit organization, in Peru's Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve. For eight days, Lutrick and Sylvara studied the area's eco-system and biodiversity to serve the larger goal of developing sustainable conservation measures for the region and its inhabitants. Their field research involved studying the effects of human activity and unprecedented flooding on the habitats of birds, including macaws, and of aquatic animals such as caimans and river dolphins. These studies help conservationists to develop strategies to protect indigenous animal species and their food sources and habitats.
Lutrick and Sylvara traveled to Iquitos, the largest city in the Peruvian rainforest, with a diverse group of biologists, teachers and students. "It was neat to hear different opinions and thoughts on the research being done," said Sylvara who plans to teach high school biology after graduating from Waldorf next year."This expedition was about working with the indigenous culture and showing them how to use and conserve resources." Lutrick, also a senior, is preparing for her medical entrance examination this summer. She also plans to base her senior thesis on the fieldwork done in Peru. "I always wanted to do a study-abroad program," she said. "This was a great observational study in which we examined how healthy the eco-system is in the rainforest."
They brought back 16 soil samples, each ranging between five to 10 milligrams, from the reserve. Fromthese samples, Sylvara will study the effect of time spent under the flood plain on soil microbe diversity. Lutrick, on the other hand, will work on two research projects from her findings in the Amazon. Her first project will focus on biodiversity differences of soil microbes in pristine rainforest versus deforested areas. "I'm trying to question what are we killing when we deforest the rainforest? What happens to the soil? Can we remediate the effects of deforestation on microbe biodiversity?" said Lutrick. Secondly, she will look for species of bacteria of the order actinomycetales in the samples. Members of this order produce roughly two thirds of the antibiotics currently in use. Lutrick hopes to discover antibiotic-producing microbes that are effective against antibiotic resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
The soil samples will not only help these two students in their senior thesis, but also have a larger impact on the biology lab of Waldorf College. "This soil is different from any found in all of North America, let alone Iowa. It has microbes that don't exist here or, probably anywhere else." said Dr. Paul Bartelt, professor of biology and department chair. "As we come to learn more about these microbes, our students will be able to compare them to local soil microbes and better understand the differences in soils, soil fertility and ecology."
Dr. Bartelt added that Lutrick and Sylvara are strengthening the growing tradition of undergraduate research in the department, an aspect of the program that has been promoted for years and continues to thrive. "They are showing others what it takes to 'go wherever they need to' to satisfy their curiosity, and to demonstrate the discipline necessary for good research, that is, carefully collecting good data, analyzing the results and answering their questions," said Dr. Bartelt. "They will be good additional examples for other students to follow."
Dr. Gary Coombs, assistant professor of biology and Lutrick's advisor for this research, said students who participate in hands-on research earn better grades and are more competitive when seeking entry to graduate programs than others. "This trip to Peru was a life-changing experience for our students. We will give them an opportunity to share their enlightening experience with others at Waldorf," he said. "Having research experience and a venue to present their discoveries helps students acquire and polish skills they will need in both graduate studies and their careers."
Students funded this trip with the help of biology lab grants, Waldorf College Student Senate, fundraising events organized by the biology club, and their own finances.

If you were paying attention you probably saw Phil's mega scoop preview in the June ish. If you weren't then you deserve a slap on the trotter (slap, squeal). Anyway, there's some good news: the game is now out! Some more good news is that I'm going to try to review it without resorting to the use of countless 'piggy puns.' I wonder if I'll succeed? Here goes (chops away).
As Phil divulged, Psycho Pig is a coin-op conversion of a Jaleco arcade machine called Pigs And Bombers which hasn't actually been imported into this country, so you probably won't have seen it.
As you may have gathered the game is based on the zany antics of everybody's favourite farmyard chums. Yes, pigs. And in this case the pigs are armed and extremely dangerous. Let's have a butchers (groan).
After a brief introductory parade of your fellow contestants, the playing area is revealed and your pig enters from screen left. Also on screen are your porky opponents and loads of bombs with numbers on them. The referee blows his (pig and) whistle and spammo - the game is on.
Moving at the speed of ham (quickly), your opponents zoom about the screen, pick up bombs, zoom about the screen a bit more and then eject their explosive payloads - quite often in your direction. You have to do much the same thing; the object being to turn them into crackling while dodging about and saving your own bacon.
The bombs, when thrown, travel a half screenish distance before coming to rest. If they hit a pig before coming to rest, they explode - taking out anyone in their immediate vicinity. If they hit a wall they bounce back following Newton's laws.
The action is pretty frantic, but a lot of bombs do tend to come to rest, and this is where the numbers embellished on them (remember?) come into play.
On leaving a pig's trotters a bomb will begin to count down towards zero. The seconds tick away visually, until at about three seconds (and counting) the bomb will begin to flash. Guess where it isn't a good idea to be standing? (Next to the bomb? An incredibly astute reader) Yes, that's right - unless you want to pop your cork (or, indeed, cop your pork).
"Psycho Pig is a porker of a corker."
As you progress up the levels things get, as you might expect, a lot trickier - the initial countdown number on the bombs get smaller, some of the bombs start counting down without even being picked up and the pigs get harder to kill requiring more direct hits.
Occasionally a deceased opponent will leave behind a little icon. Helpful little chaps, these, bestowing you with extra powers; throw further, blast protection suit, wider explosion and run faster to name but four.
Every so often, between the levels, there is a sub-game: a section where you can get to fatten up your score. For about one minute pigs will pop their heads up out of holes in the ground. What you have to do is run around planting kisses on their gobs before they pop back down again. The more tongue sarnies you deliver, the more points you get.
The graphics are animated nicely, and there's no colour clash (largely because there's no colour - but this is the kind of game where different coloured sprites would cause horrendous problems). In the sound department it's just spot effects on 48K, but on 128K there's a continuous tune (sort of an Irish jig stroke hillbilly foot stomper). Oh, and by the way, there's a simultaneous two-player option, so you can throw bombs at your best friend as well.
All in all, Psycho Pigs UXB is a porker of a corker. As addictive as bacon and twice as sausagey - especially on 128K.
Anyway - how did I do in the 'not making any awful piggy-pun stakes?' (Not very well. Ed). Oh.

When the ACC expanded in 2005 to add a conference championship game, the common thought was that Florida State and Miami would meet regularly to decide the ACC champion.
Well, Miami has yet to reach the game, and this was just the third time Florida State managed to win its division.
Still, Florida State is your 2012-2013 ACC champion and will represent the conference in the 2013 Orange Bowl.
Florida State was able to hold off a late Georgia Tech rally and pull out the victory, 21-15.
Let's take a look at 10 things we learned from the 2012 ACC Championship.

Hands Off My Kid!
Gisele Says Tom Brady's Son John Edward Is '100 Percent' Hers. His Mother, Bridget Moynahan, Isn't Pleased. the Story of Two Pretty Women and One Ugly Feud
But the wedding day wasn't all about the bride. As Bündchen, 28, and Brady, 31, celebrated Round 2 of their nuptials just five weeks after their first surprise ceremony in Santa Monica, all eyes were on the littlest wedding guest: 19-month-old John Edward—Brady's son with his ex, actress Bridget Moynahan. Just days before John Edward joined his dad and new stepmom in Costa Rica, the tot's name was splashed across headlines thanks to the candid and controversial comments Bündchen made to Vanity Fair about her bond with her new stepson. "I understand that he has a mom, and I respect that, but to me it's not like because somebody else delivered him, that's not my child," Bündchen told the magazine. "I feel like it is, 100 percent."
The article left Moynahan in disbelief. The actress, who turns 38 on April 28, has gone to great lengths to keep her son out of the spotlight and was stunned that Bündchen chose to speak so publicly about John Edward, whose nickname is Jack. "Bridget isn't angry about Gisele's quotes. She's hurt," says a Moynahan source. "For Jack's sake, she wanted him to be comfortable with Gisele. Bridget tried to give her the benefit of the doubt. But that goodwill has taken a hit. She's like, 'Did she really say that?'"
Those close to Moynahan are lashing out at the world's richest supermodel for poor judgment. "The way Gisele is going around as a stepmother, claiming how much she loves him and using him as a platform for her own celebrity? It's disgusting," says another Moynahan source. "I'm sure Bridget is happy that someone cares about her son. But the way it's coming off is not genuine."
Friends say Bündchen's devotion to Jack is beyond question. "What's she going to do, treat the kid like kryptonite because it's his kid with Bridget?" says a pal. "She is an affectionate, nice person. She is not cold.... She is not catty."
Still, it's easy to see why the complicated lives of three impossibly good-looking people have been compared to a soap opera. In late 2006 Moynahan and Brady ended their three-year relationship "amicably," a rep for the actress said at the time. By the end of the year, the quarterback was dating Bündchen. But just a few months into their relationship, the pair was put to the test: Moynahan announced that she was more than three months pregnant with Brady's baby. "It was definitely a surprise for both of us," Bündchen told Vanity Fair. "I think it was a blessing because otherwise I don't think I would have known what he was made of, and he wouldn't have known what I was made of."
The situation proved equally as defining for Moynahan. "Going through that traumatic time of being heartbroken and then being pregnant turned my whole life upside down and inside out," the actress told Harper's Bazaar last July. "But now I have a child, and it's the best thing in the world."
Today Moynahan is raising Jack in her Pacific Palisades, Calif., home, and a nanny shuttles the baby between her house and Brady's mansion not far away in L.A.'s Brentwood neighborhood, where the footballer moved so he could be closer to his son. When he and Bündchen are on the West Coast, "we have Johnny 50 percent of the time," Bündchen—who also shares homes in Boston and New York with Brady—told Vanity Fair. But even that comment raises the eyebrows of Moynahan partisans. "No one calls [the baby] Johnny. It's Jack," says one.
Despite the criticism, Bündchen seems determined to be a good stepmom. Along with attending one of the baby's music classes, Bündchen was spotted giving the tot a snack at L.A.'s Beverly Glen Park after an early morning playdate last month. "Gisele kept playing peekaboo games with him, and he would laugh hysterically," says a witness. "He's a little angel—the sweetest, most cuddly, loving baby," Bündchen told Vanity Fair. "I want him to have a great relationship with his mom because that's important, but I love him the same way as if he were mine. I already feel like he's my son from the first day."
For his part, Brady has kept mum about life with Bündchen and the baby. "It doesn't affect anybody but me anyway, so why is it a big deal?" he told Details in 2007. But while he calls Jack "truly a joy," the quarterback's silence in the wake of Bündchen's comments to Vanity Fair also angers some of his ex's friends. "If Tom was a good father, he wouldn't let Gisele parade his son around in the public eye," says a Moynahan pal.
And Moynahan? Friends say she's trying to stay above the fray by focusing on the main man in her life: Jack. "Bridget is a mom first and foremost. She doesn't have any interest in engaging in name-calling or fighting," says a friend of the actress's, who plans on taking Jack to the Vancouver set of her new movie this month. "Her single purpose is for Jack to be healthy, happy and safe." Now that's something all three adults in Jack's life can agree on.

Visits to Your Country
Managing your finances is one of the most important and challenging aspects of a successful and enjoyable academic experience. Dealing with a new currency and cost of living are the beginning of the challenge. Before you leave home, pay attention to the exchange rate between your country's currency and the U.S. dollar. Learn to think in dollars.
Take a close look at your I-20 or DS-2019 and prepare a budget for yourself based on the estimated expenses on the form. Use the list below to help you think about all of the possible expenses you may have.
- Tuition
- Fees
- Rent
- Meals (often called "board")
- Health insurance
- Books
- Transportation
- Communications (Telephone and mail)
- Clothes
- Personal expenses
- Taxes
- Family expenses
- Recreation
- Travel
The estimates that appear on your I-20 or DS-2019 are usually accurate, and you will be expected to have funds to cover the full amount shown. It is not possible to arrange for more financial aid once you have arrived at UM-St. Louis. If you are a graduate student and have an assistantship, be sure you understand what it will cover and what you will be expected to pay from your own funds. If you will receive a scholarship or fellowship, determine ahead of time what portion is taxable and include the necessary taxes in your budget.
Be careful in handling American currency. With the exception of the new $100 and $20 bills, all American paper money looks alike, so keep your eyes open when paying or receiving cash. Our coins can be tricky, too. The five-cent piece is known as a nickel, the ten-cent piece as a dime, and the twenty-five-cent piece as a quarter. A dime is smaller in size than a nickel, even though it is worth more.
Start budgeting from the time you arrive. Bills often take a month or two to arrive, but arrive they will! Don't fool yourself into spending the money you'll need to pay them.
Transferring Funds to the United States
Traveler's checks are the safest way to carry money, but be sure to record the check numbers and keep the record separate from the checks. Do not carry large amounts of cash.
The best ways to carry or transfer money are:
Traveler's checks (in U.S. dollars)
A bank check (also called a cashier's check) drawn on a U.S. bank in U.S. dollars
A "wire transfer" from your bank at home to your new institution (if you are paying a bill) or to a U.S. bank.
Avoid checks in U.S. dollars drawn on a international bank. Such checks take much longer to "clear" than do checks drawn on U.S. banks or even checks in your home currency drawn on a bank at home. Remember that until a check clears, you will not have access to the money it represents.
Opening a Bank Account
Once you arrive at your new institution, you will want to open a bank account at a local bank. It is sometimes possible to set up an account from abroad, and some international financial institutions allow you to write U.S. dollar checks on funds deposited abroad; but most local banks in the United States will want you to come in personally to set up your account. When you do so, bring your student identification, your passport, and the funds you wish to deposit.
Banks offer many different financial services. You may wish to compare the services and costs of several banks before choosing one at which to open an account. One bank may be more conveniently located than others; another may have more automated teller machines around town; a third may charge less to maintain a checking account; a fourth may allow you to do your banking from home via computer. Banks are competing for your business, so don't be shy about asking questions.
A checking account will permit you to write checks to make purchases and pay bills. Most retailers and service providers will accept a personal check drawn on any U.S. bank (it need not be a local bank) as long as you can show appropriate identification (passport, student identification card, or driver's license).
By using checks, it is easy to keep records of your purchases and payments. At most banks you need not keep a substantial sum (or "balance") in the account-just enough to cover your checks and any fees the bank charges to maintain the account. Many banks offer "overdraft protection," enabling you to write a check that exceeds your balance with the understanding that you will pay interest on the overdraft amount. Finally, checking accounts have the advantage of providing you with immediate access to your funds.
Unlike most checking accounts, "savings accounts" earn interest on the balance in the account. If you plan to bring money for the entire academic year or for your entire academic program, you should be sure that your money earns interest! You can withdraw money from an ordinary savings account, but you cannot do so by writing a check.
Many banks offer so-called NOW (notice-of-withdrawal) accounts that combine the features of checking and savings accounts. With a NOW account, you may write a certain number of checks each month; such accounts can be very handy for students who maintain a relatively high balance and write relatively few checks.
Many students open a savings account and a checking account at the same bank so that they can transfer money from the interest-bearing savings account into their checking account as they need it.
Certificates of deposit (CDs) pay higher rates of interest than savings accounts, but your deposits must be made in certain amounts (usually in increments of $1,000 or more) and must remain in the bank for a specified period of time (usually a minimum of three months) before you can use them. The penalties for withdrawing money before the specified time has elapsed can be quite substantial. A CD account makes sense if you bring money that you will not need right away.
Other Banking Services
A safety deposit box, available at most banks, is a good place to store valuable possessions such as the airline ticket for your flight home, expensive jewelry, international currency, and the important documents you brought with you. You rent them at the bank on a yearly basis at the cost of around 30 dollars.
A "debit card," also known as a check card, allows you to withdraw or deposit money to your bank account using an automatic teller machine (ATM) and to make purchases at stores that accept the card. Some debit cards carry a credit-card logo (such as MasterCard or Visa), and can be used in place of a check or credit card. Debit cards are not credit cards, however, and they can be used only to the extent that you have funds in the account to which they are linked, as the money will be debited almost immediately from your account.
Credit cards will allow you to make purchases even when you have no money immediately available. Banks and other financial institutions, department stores, and gasoline companies all issue credit cards that can be used to buy goods. You are billed every month and are required to pay at least a portion of your balance each month. If you do not pay the entire amount due, interest (or a "finance charge") accrues on the unpaid balance. The interest rate can be quite high, particularly if you have not yet established your "credit worthiness."
The cost of credit cards varies greatly. The annual fees and interest rates charged by some financial institutions are much higher than others. Many cards offer premiums or awards linked to the amount you spend using the card. Ask your advisor or fellow students: It really pays to shop around. Once you establish a "credit history," or if you have significant assets, you should be able to obtain a card with a lower interest rate and little or no annual fee.
Credit cards are convenient, but unless you are careful about your spending, you may be shocked when you get your monthly bill. Keep all of your receipts in order to keep track of what you have spent. Debit cards are a better solution for students who have trouble managing their debt. They are as convenient as credit cards but do not allow you to spend more than you have.
UMB operates a bank on campus in the Millenium Student Center, but Normandy Bank (7151 Natural Bridge Road, tel. 383-5555) is also nearby.

Rethinking the Ownership of Crime Labs: No Matter Who Is in Charge, Jurisdictional Commitment Is Key
By John M. Collins, Advisor, Forensic Science Policy and Management, RTI International, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
t is doubtful that any police chief would agree to run a hospital or an engineering firm. Hospitals and engineering firms are not police business, and they require skill sets and value systems unique to those professions. But then again, most police chiefs are not trained or experienced in forensic science yet are entrusted to manage hundreds of crime laboratories across the United States. So what is the difference?
Forensic science, and the sensitivity of the work taking place in U.S. crime laboratories, is an entirely different profession that has almost nothing in common with policing. For those who disagree with this assessment, they might believe that forensic science is, in fact, police business or that it really is not as unique or nuanced as it is made out to be. Both arguments would be entirely false. Rest assured that this article is not an argument to suddenly extract crime laboratories out of police agencies. Instead, it is a call to police administrators to rethink what it means to manage today's crime laboratories. Despite the vast differences between policing and forensic science, police chiefs should know just how well positioned they are to give crime laboratories exactly what they need—jurisdictional collaboration and commitment.
There is a very good reason that the vast majority of public crime laboratories in the United States operate under the command of police agencies, which dates back to the early half of the 20th century. Law enforcement recognized the need for science to solve crimes; no one else was willing to invest the resources needed to make forensic science more accessible. But in the last 90 years, very little about this arrangement has changed, with the exception of two things—the enormity of the responsibility and the explosion of the demand.
The metamorphosis of crime laboratories from simple evidence processing units to full-scale scientific laboratories has been remarkable. Forensic techniques that were once considered advancements in police technology have now evolved into a bona fide profession beholden to the standards and codes of conduct of a greater scientific community. Just this year, for instance, a major article on the potential for bias and errors in forensic science was published in the Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition.1 This article will be referenced in courtrooms across the United States.
In recent years, the evolution of forensic science has begged some difficult questions about whether or not it is being accompanied by an equally impressive metamorphosis in how police commanders manage and support their scientific personnel, or if forensic science management is really emerging as a discipline or area of expertise taken seriously within the law enforcement community. Making matters worse, some horrific, catastrophic failures in crime laboratories have recently harmed public perceptions about the reliability of forensic science across the board. The criminal justice systems in Boston, Detroit, Houston, and St. Paul, to name a few, have suffered immeasurably from the discovery of widespread quality assurance problems or outright misconduct that cost taxpayers millions of dollars.2 Although the problems in those jurisdictions were isolated, the effects reverberated nationally.
Forensic science is a credibility business; therefore, every laboratory suffers from the malpractice of a few.
To categorically blame crime laboratory failures on police leadership, however, is unfair and distracts attention from the real problem that must be fixed. After a century of knowledge gained about forensic science and its role in the criminal justice system— and having witnessed what happens when things go very bad, an entirely new priority must be pursued by police administrators.
There has never been a better time for police chiefs to help forensic science become what it needs to be—an interagency jurisdictional priority where individual agencies, including crime laboratories, work together to meet their collective responsibilities. In the absence of this collaboration, the backs of crime laboratories will continue to be broken under the weight of increasing demand, growing work volumes, and pressure to complete testing within short periods of time. Nothing would do more to solidify the police chief's role in protecting the forensic science enterprise than brokering and negotiating the necessary solutions. Nothing would do more to improve forensic science in the United States.
Ultimately, the authors are talking about police chiefs as custodians of forensic science holding its owners accountable for conducting business the right way. Forensic science does not belong to the police, nor does it belong to prosecutors, judges, or defense attorneys. In fact, forensic science does not even belong to the crime laboratory. Forensic science belongs collectively to the jurisdiction being served; therefore, each jurisdiction has responsibilities to meet.
In Massachusetts, a scientist in one laboratory (a crime laboratory, incidentally, run by the Department of Public Health—not law enforcement) caused widespread chaos as a result of her misconduct.3 On April 1, 2013, another person who worked at the same laboratory was charged with four counts of tampering with evidence.4 No one agency can clean up the mess, which suggests that no one agency should have been left to prevent it in the first place; it should have been a jurisdictional priority.
Few services in the criminal justice system are more sensitive to discord among stakeholders than forensic science. And the effects of this discord can be seen, for example, in the national epidemic of crime laboratory backlogs. Crime laboratories can no longer afford to conduct tests that produce redundant, confusing, or irrelevant results. They can no longer waste time and taxpayer dollars trying to satisfy every request that comes through the door when many of those requests do not justify the costs. There needs to be a balance, and police chiefs should focus on producing this balance in their jurisdictions.
When this balance does not exist, crime laboratory administrators are forced to act as referees to compensate for the lack communication, a role that many would prefer to avoid, so they simply allow backlogs to skyrocket until someone with sufficient authority does something about it.
Although controversial, the 2009 National Research Council report Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward made at least one bold statement that resonated with crime laboratory administrators. "The adversarial process relating to the admission and exclusion of scientific evidence," the authors noted, "is not suited to the task of finding 'scientific truth.'"5 Unfortunately, this adversarialism does not occur only in the courtroom, it also plagues our criminal justice system, eroding the professional relationships between public officials and their agencies, which compete against one another for political leverage and increasingly scarce funding.
This political nightmare is the part of forensic science that is rarely talked about. Forensic science has few champions and many critics. Worse, its basic needs are sometimes viewed as a threat by some parent agencies that would rather spend the money on something else.
Police chiefs who are interested in supporting forensic science can begin to do so in many ways. The following two recommendations are provided as good starting points:
Two states are making news in the world of forensic science. Ohio and Wisconsin, both of which have crime laboratories that are managed by the states' attorney general offices, have made significant progress in eliminating long-standing backlogs and directing resources to fix critical shortfalls in areas of their laboratories. As time passes, it will be interesting to learn if there is something about the authority possessed by an attorney general that gives his or her crime laboratories more leverage and independence to control backlogs and conduct business in a way that keeps the laboratory's capacity in balance with the demand for its services.
In the end, it is probably not necessary to debate who are the rightful owners and custodians of forensic science. Those responsibilities are best left to those who demonstrate, through their own words and deeds, their willingness to support forensic science–and be willing to accept responsibility if things go wrong. Police chiefs who want to be in the forensic science business have a great opportunity to demonstrate their willingness to support forensic science and to be accountable. ♦

Journal Junction comments should be limited to two to four sentences. Longer comments should be submitted as "Letters to the Editor," which is a separate forum. The Journal's classified ads section offers help to those with lost or found items. This is a sampling of comments received today. Any others, subject to editing, are published in the online Journal Junction at www.journal-news.net under opinions.
From Martinsburg:
Every year the BCYF has food eating contests. Every year someone complains.
From Martinsburg:
Trying to control the deer population is like trying to teach the deer to cross the road where the "Deer Crossing" signs are. Get over it and shut up about it already!
From Martinsburg:
No! The problem that exists today is because of the people in government who buy and sell (bribery) their votes, and let themselves be "influenced" for a living have taken away control of our government from the people who vote.
From Jefferson County:
Let me get this straight, Jefferson County Commissioners granted one library $10,000, but refused to give the Jefferson County Volunteer Fire Companies $4,000. What is wrong with this picture? Reading is important, but so are well-equipped fire and rescue companies. Let me ask the commissioners: If your house catches on fire, are you going to call the library or the fire company?
From Charles Town:
To the Inwood caller who says American gold medalists should "give a humble thank you" and go home: obviously you have never participated in athletics or you would understand that not only competing at an Olympic level, but winning gold, is reason to celebrate. These athletes shed blood, sweat and tears to represent this country with little compensation. So I say if they want to jump, dance or wear the American flag in celebration, then more power to them. Maybe you should be more patriotic.
From Martinsburg:
To "Berkeley Springs": I did go figure. As I see it, The Mayor of New York and the "first lady" are among the liberal elite whom, if allowed to succeed, would control every facet of our lives, while those promoting and participating in the donut and ice cream eating contests at the Berkeley County Youth Fair are mere ordinary citizens. And in Mrs. Obama's case, as well as with many in her celebrity circle, her campaign is more than likely an effort to be/remain relevant.
From Charles Town:
I think it is utterly tragic that people value an animal's life over a human one. Having lost a dear neighbor after her vehicle struck a deer, I find it hurtful reading the Journal Junction comments supporting these useless creatures.
From Baker Heights:
I see Mitt Romney killed Joe Soptic's wife when he closed a plant and threw a town out of work, shipping their jobs overseas. But all the Romney campaign itself says is "Hey, if they'd lived in Massachusetts, they would have had health coverage." Yes. The best thing Mitt ever did was design a system of universal health care that was paid for by forcing everyone to buy medical insurance.
From Bunker Hill:
This is to all of the daily travelers that take Route 340 West in the evenings. Why do you think it is the other driver's responsibility to let you in when the lane ends leaving Maryland? I don't know how many times I see very aggressive drivers get mad when this happens. We are all trying to get home, so try and show some respect to the other drivers on the road. One of these days you are going to cause a very serious accident and will be waiting even longer. Our commutes would run a lot smoother if you would just wait in line like the rest of us!
From Tomahawk:
To the Harpers Ferry callers concerning a person that they know that is receiving checks and yet working and getting paid under the table and are going around telling people about it. ... Simply contact by mail the Department of Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, Kansas City, MO 64999-0002, and send them all the information that you have and your name and address and just ask to remain ANONYMOUS and they'll solve your problem and no one will know you turned the problem over to be solved. ... Good luck to you.
From Martinsburg:
An answer to Huntfield: Officials have taken care of your problem. What do you think happens from October to January? It starts with bow season.
From Martinsburg:
In response to the caller from Inwood who wants our gold medalist to say a humble "thank you:" Well, they may thank their parents and coaches, because the athletes were the ones for years and years practicing to be the best. They don't have to thank anyone else, except perhaps their coaches and their parents for driving them back and forth to practice. It was their hard work that got the gold medals. If they do cartwheels, it's their right.
From Martinsburg:
I just read in the paper that the post office is $5.2 million in debt again, they can't pay their bills. But yet my daughter mailed me a package, express mail, and it took eight days to get from Wisconsin to West Virginia. It has not even snowed yet.
From Harpers Ferry:
To Huntsfield: We here in the big wood would like for you to stop hassling the mayor, town council and the inhabitants of the big wood, there are no signs posted as to where two-leggers are crossing/traveling. Not once has anyone offered to pay our medical bills or even sent a get well card, condolence, invited us to a party or offered a smile, "can't we all just get along"? Sincerely, Bambi, Thumper, Flower and gang.
From Hedgesville:
To the Inwood caller: If you ever participated in a sports event and tasted the thrill of victory, you would understand the emotion behind the Olympic medal winners' celebrations and their display of country pride, which by the way is not limited to the U.S. As for the countries with whom we have those "fragile" relations - let 'em eat cake! We already do too much "sucking up" to them.
From Berkeley County:
I recently received my tax form, and I was astonished at all the tax money that went to Berkeley County Schools. I'm wondering how much of that money goes to the people working at the education office. I think we may find out where a lot of our money goes.
From Jefferson County:
I know a very good, independent contractor who does carpeting. His name is Gene, his phone number is 304-725-4961.
From Hedgesville:
What is the school board, the state and the county doing about our absenteeism, instead of just letting it go on and on, and producing a bunch of illiterates?
From Martinsburg:
Instead of wasting money on hiring an assistant chief of police, the solution to the problem would be to replace the chief of the police. He is useless anyway.

A Cleveland property owner used a $2.8 million grant from the Clean Ohio Assistance Fund to clean up 7.4 acres at 3781 East 77th Street.
The land will be developed for recreational and light industrial use.
The Ohio EPA said that General Investment Funds Real Estate Holding Company removed pollutants at the former Cleveland Pneumatic Tool Company site, which closed in 1994.
The company plans to construct basketball and tennis courts, a football field and other athletic facilities that will be donated to neighboring South High School. The rest of the site will become a light-industrial park, with a truck entrance on realigned 78th Street.
