When Kati Marton arrived in London in 1977 en route to her job in Germany as an ABC reporter, she was already wary of Peter Jennings, then the network's dashing chief foreign correspondent. With his well-tailored trench coat and manicured, movie-star looks, the newsman had a solid reputation as a globe-trotting heartbreaker. "Everywhere I went for ABC, I met women with terrible Peter Jennings stories to tell," says Marton, 35. "I didn't want to be one of them."
Despite such intentions, Marton grew attracted to Jennings, now the anchorman on ABC's World News Tonight. Accepting his "innocent" (so he claims) invitation to a Gilbert & Sullivan operetta, she discovered a man wholly unlike the brash womanizer she had expected. Underneath his formal speech and elegant attire "he was not at all like James Bond." Recalls Kati: "He was a rural-born Canadian with incredible energy and a childlike curiosity about the world."
Jennings was similarly smitten with the cosmopolitan Marton. "I was impressed by her brisk stride and her rich mind," he says of that night. "She could talk intelligently about every subject from politics to literature." After a two-year, long-distance romance (he flew to Bonn from London nearly every weekend to be with her), they married in London. Jennings, 45, once wed to childhood sweetheart Valerie Godsoe and later to photographer Annie Malouf, seems to have met his permanent match. "I regret my mistakes in my previous marriages," he says, "but now I can't imagine being married to anyone but Kati." Observes CBS newsman Tom Fenton, a longtime friend of Jennings: 'They're both sincere people, there's no 'side' to them, as the British say. And they have a very romantic relationship."
After 15½ years as a roving correspondent (he was London-based for seven-and-a-half years), Jennings was summoned home last summer to fill in for ailing anchorman Frank Reynolds. Three weeks after Reynolds died, Jennings officially won the job. This was his second chance at one of the most glamorous desk jobs in TV journalism and, at $900,000 a year, certainly one of the most lucrative. Once criticized for being too erudite to play in Peoria, Jennings' on-air style now is strictly no-nonsense as he wages his beautiful-head-to-beautiful-head ratings race with CBS's aggressive Dan Rather and NBC's folksy Tom Brokaw.
Jennings downplays the "unnecessary hoopla" surrounding the anchorman's job but concedes that viewers' allegiances can mean millions in advertising revenues. "This is a personality-oriented medium," he says. "Whatever my qualifications as a journalist, I can't control how people will respond to me on TV." So far they seem to be responding well. Historically mired in last place, ABC has been slugging it out with NBC for second place since 1981, and Jennings is credited with beefing up the network's foreign coverage. "I'd like to beat the competition," he says. "But if ABC decides after a year and a half that this isn't working, I can always go back to reporting."
Kati, an accomplished writer, gave up a promising career as an on-camera reporter when they married, and bridles when labeled Mrs. Peter Jennings. Her first book, Wallenberg, published in 1982, was a highly praised account of the Swedish diplomat who rescued thousands of Hungarian Jews from the Nazis before mysteriously disappearing at the end of World War II. Her next book, a political novel set in Eastern Europe, is due out at the end of this year, and she contributes a regular column to the London Sunday Times. "It's sort of a New York journal," she explains.
While writing remains her professional passion, raising their children, Elizabeth, 4, and Christopher, 1, is her private one. "This may date me as a feminist," she says, "but I think that at this stage, somebody should be home with the children."
The Jennings are clearly enjoying their status as one of New York's most sought-after couples, but Kati is more at ease in the social swirl. "I'm self-conscious at parties," admits Jennings. "My idea of a great time is dinner alone with Kati." Once reluctant to move to New York, he rides the bus to work and finds the city "friendlier and more neighborly" than he expected. The couple lives in an East Side five-story brownstone, which they rent from Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin. "I'm a street-corner talker," Jennings observes. "It's rather nice to have someone yell, 'Hi, Pete.' " Still, Kati misses the anonymity of London, where American TV journalists can roam unnoticed. "In New York every outing is a public one," she says. "I get impatient sometimes with Peter because he doesn't know how to be friendly but cut it short." To escape from the pressures of his high-stakes job, the family retreats each weekend to a sprawling rented house on Long Island. "That's where we really relax," says Kati. Peter's week-night sartorial splendor gives way to his "total slob" look of an old pair of khaki shorts, work socks and a sweater.
Like many modern fathers, Peter is taking an intense interest in raising his offspring. Elizabeth is a "regular fixture" in his Manhattan newsroom, and Christopher blurts out "Daddy!" when he sees Jennings' image on TV. But Peter is conscious of not letting his professional standing go to their heads. When Elizabeth pasted a newspaper ad featuring her father's picture onto the refrigerator, Peter replaced it with the children's drawings. "That's what belongs there," he says.
"This is an arrogant thing to say, but I'm terrific with children," Jennings continues. "Diapering came naturally to me." Friends say family life has mellowed him. "At 40, he had a tremendous desire to be a father," says Tom Fenton. Indeed, Jennings becomes an old softy when he talks about his children. "I used to be a guy who took the office home with me," he says. "One day I remember coming home and seeing Elizabeth's tiny hand reaching out to me through the bars of her crib. The office was forgotten."
The son of Charles Jennings, a prominent Canadian broadcaster, Peter was to the anchor born, in Toronto. At age 10, he had his own radio show, Peter's Program. A dismal student, he dropped out of high school to become a radio reporter in Brockville, Ont., and in 1962 he became a co-anchor of a Canadian TV news show. In 1964, with little reporting experience, he was hired by youth-crazed ABC and months later became, at 26, the youngest person ever to anchor a network newscast. "I was the youngest one around who had all his adult teeth," wisecracks Jennings. His ego inflated, and he became the object of sniping from TV critics and his more seasoned colleagues. But after three years Jennings, to his credit, asked for a new assignment. He spent the next 15½ years earning his broadcasting pinstripes as a correspondent and the foreign-desk anchorman for ABC. His deft coverage of world hot spots, including the Iranian hostage crisis and the terrorist takeover of the 1972 Munich Olympics, helped build his reputation among his peers. "In a job that is 90 percent showbiz, Peter is 80 percent journalist," says one colleague. Observes Kati: "Peter's looks were almost like a hunchback to him. He tried twice as hard as his colleagues, just to overcome his image. Now he knows that he's the anchor because he has the experience and skills for the job." Besides, she adds, "He's gotten bags under his eyes, and he's lost a little hair, which I find very appealing."
Kati, daughter of Hungarian journalists Endre and Ilona Nyilas Marton, was born in Budapest and "grew up to the music of typewriters." Her father was the Hungarian correspondent for the Associated Press, her mother for United Press. In 1955 Kati's parents were convicted on trumped-up charges of being CIA spies and imprisoned. Kati, then 7, and her sister Julia, 9, now deputy director of the International Council of Scientific Unions in Paris, were placed in a home for children of political prisoners. "I'm pretty conservative on the Soviets," she says. "There's nothing more graphic than seeing your parents taken away."
Shortly before the Hungarian revolt in 1956, her parents were released during a political thaw, and in 1957 the family fled to Austria before emigrating to Washington, D.C. "As an 11-year-old who didn't know English and didn't look like other children, I felt I had to work very hard to succeed," says Kati, whose clothes and mannerisms gave her the "aura of a refugee." She graduated from George Washington University in 1971 with a master's degree in international affairs and worked for National Public Radio in Washington before becoming a TV reporter for the CBS affiliate in Philadelphia. "People ask if I have yearnings to go back to TV," she says, "but I think I've gotten it out of my system. For me, writing is much riskier—and more rewarding." Jennings is very much a fan of his wife's work: "She could write three stories in a taxi between the airport and the news bureau."
For the moment the family is adjusting well to a frantic life-style. "We're living our lives on fast forward," says Kati. That's partly because when a network beckons, it's awfully hard to say no. "However much people may denigrate the anchor slot, the truth is it's a big job—and there are only three of them," she observes. "The only drawback is that you lose little pieces of yourself to it." Jennings, however, has not yet lost the romantic flourishes that punctuated their courtship. When a recent out-of-town assignment forced him to miss the weekend family get-together, he sent Kati a large bouquet of lilies, irises and roses. The gesture did not go unappreciated. "I was so touched," she says, laughing, "that I went out and took his dirty shirts to the laundry."

In connection with a study of a group of thirty-nine children suffering from enuresis, the observation was made that in a certain percentage of the more persistent cases the concentration of the urine was definitely and constantly higher during the day than during the night. The occurrence of a reversal of the usual concentration of the urine in children suffering from this condition apparently has not been observed to date and consequently was considered of sufficient interest and importance to justify reporting.
The observations were made on thirty-nine patients at the university dispensary and are recorded in tables 1 and 2. Each child in the series was carefully examined to avoid including those suffering from pyelocystitis or other diseases presenting symptoms referable to the genitourinary system. Twenty-four hour samples of urine were collected from each patient, the day and night specimens being kept separate. The specimens were carefully measured and

You may be feeling down to earth today which could mean that you might be employing your common sense when making decisions related to your personal resources. Taking a more practical approach to things might be a way for you to feel like you have more control over the direction in which you wish your life to head. Perhaps you can use this time to set up a plan to think about what your short, intermediate and long term goals are and how you can apportion your resources to meet those goals. Should you notice any sense of fear of what the future may bring or discomfort arise as you think about this, try to remind yourself that whatever positive steps you can take today can help you design a more productive life tomorrow.
Breaking up our plans into different time frames allows us to think about how we can use what we have in the moment to be more effective over the long term. When making choices that affect our lives, it can be really easy to just think about our most immediate future. If we take a more proactive approach, however, and step out the process a little more carefully, we will have a much greater hand in our future and will be more prepared for whatever may happen along the way. This in turn will make our decisions truly work for us. Being realistic but forward-thinking today will put your dreams within closer reach.

Lesson Plan
Create a Playbill!
- Grades: 6–8
- Unit Plan:
Students will have an understanding of the various elements found in a drama experience or a written play.
Students will:
- Understand the purpose, set up, and construction of an advertisement for a drama.
- Students will produce the following within a playbill:
- Cover design reflecting the play and its genre
- Character description (main/minor, protagonist/antagonist)
- Description of costumes (can be represented visually)
- Labeled picture of the stage/set
- Summary of a dramatic plot, without giving away the climax
- A dramatic play taken from your state-adopted literature series. Although, any piece of literature will work. Students may even use their own writing.
- Construction Paper
- Markers, colored pencils, rulers, scissors, etc.
- Class sets of the following handouts:
- Understanding Drama worksheet (PDF), a complete list of literary elements and definitions.
- 35 Ways to Publish Students Research & Writing by Michael Gravois
- Playbill Rubric (PDF), a rubric created to assess students' use of dramatic elements in this specific project.
- For teachers with technology access (Students may want to make their own playbill template.)
- Computer
- Printer
- Internet access
Set Up and Prepare
- Make enough copies of all handouts before introducing the lesson.
- Plan an area for setting out the markers, scissors, etc.
- Create a playbill before teaching the lesson to get an understanding of time requirements based on resources available and to have an example of the final product.
Hand out all copies of the various worksheets before beginning each part of the lesson.
Part One: Class Identification of the Elements of Drama
Step 1: Introduce the literary elements and definitions in the worksheet, Understanding Drama. Read aloud with students each of the elements and definitions.
Step 2: Facilitate a reading of a dramatic play with the whole class. Allow for a class discussion and allow students to ask questions if necessary. This will ensure students' comprehension of the dramatic play. Work with the class, using the Understanding Drama worksheet, to fill in examples of dramatic elements, from the play just read.
Part Two: Individual or Small Group Recognition of the Dramatic Elements.
Step 3: Students may select any piece of literature, including their own writing, to begin identifying and analyzing the various elements of a drama. This may be facilitated in groups or as an independent activity.
Step 4: Using the Understanding Drama worksheet, have students identify and analyze the various elements of drama in their selected piece of literature. Complete the worksheet as individuals or groups. It will be necessary recognize these elements to create the playbill.
Extended Lesson:
Students will work in groups to produce, direct, and act in a play. Each group may perform live or by video taping the performance for the class. Costumes, props and other dramatic elements should be incorporated in the play. By providing this lesson, the students will be exemplifying various language arts and reading standards, as well as utilizing their multiple intelligences. Any standards-aligned rubric or project rubric can work for the assessment of this lesson.
Part Three: Create a Playbill
Step 5: Students are now ready to begin creating their playbills. Allow students to view the teacher-made sample and be sure to explain the purpose of a playbill.
Step 6: Go over the Playbill Rubric so that students can see how their work will be evaluated.
Part Four: Editing Circle
Step 7: Have students share their playbills with their peers for more ideas. Divide students into groups of four. Have students present their playbill to the other members of the group. The three students who are listening can give feedback to the presenting student by comparing the playbill to the requirements on the Playbill Rubric
Have students complete their playbills at home. Give a date by which the playbills must be submitted.
Did students respond to the way I introduced the dramatic elements? Did using a "dramatic play" as an example help students understand how to find various elements of drama? Did I provide them with the ability to get started right away? Did students develop an overall understanding of dramatic elements? Did students remain on task during various activities?
Did the majority of students create playbills that represented an accurate understanding of various dramatic elements? Were students able to articulate their understanding of a dramatic play in the extended lesson? Should I change anything in the way I model or teach this lesson?
Assess Students
Using the Playbill Rubric, assess the students based on their ability to develop a playbill that included the necessary elements of a drama. I also assess students' effort and class participation throughout the unit.
- Subjects:Paper Crafts, Literary Criticism and Analysis, Story Elements, Drama, Theater, Musicals
- Skills:Main Idea and Details, Plot, Character and Setting, Descriptive Writing, Expository Writing
- Duration:4 Days

More from Alex:"I would recommend a student choose VU for French because of the
tremendous study abroad program. I studied abroad in La
Rochelle, France and I would recommend this experience to everyone. It
is one thing to learn the language in a classroom and to speak with
others who are not native French speakers. It is a completely different
learning experience when you are living in another country having to
interact with people of a different culture speaking a different
language. While studying abroad you learn the little things about the

As the solar industry recovers from a rough couple of years, there will be winners and losers emerging on the stock market. So far, companies with downstream exposure have fared far better than module-focused manufacturers, but downstream isn't the only part of the market where opportunities lie. Here are three companies with interesting prospects going into 2014.
Trina Solar
I think only a few Chinese solar manufacturers will survive long-term, and I think Trina Solar (NYSE: TSL ) has the opportunity to be one of them. The company does have $1.1 billion in debt, but $558 million of cash offsets some of that risk, and it was one of the only solar companies to post a quarterly profit already this year.
Next year, conditions should improve even more; demand is expected to increase and module sale prices will likely rise or at worst stay flat. If Trina Solar is able to cut costs even a little bit it would turn a small profit into a sizable one, and that could mean another strong year for the stock.
It hasn't been an easy transition from a supplier of solar components to a project builder for SunEdison (NASDAQOTH: SUNEQ ) , but long-term I think it's the right move. What makes SunEdison intriguing is that it's not only a project builder, it is also looking at project ownership as a long-term strategy.
When management adjusted its fourth quarter outlook in early December, investors panicked at the thought of fewer solar project sales, but the adjustment was made because the company is going to keep some projects on the balance sheet. They thought there was too much value to give up via sale and kept the projects for shareholders' benefit.
As solar companies find it easier to tap debt markets and generate profits that can be used to offset tax benefits, I think we'll see more companies keep solar projects on their balance sheets. The strategy won't result in near term profit growth, but it will be better for investors long-term.
First Solar
2014 will be a transitional year for First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR ) . The low cost, low efficiency modules that brought the company to solar dominance are slowly becoming obsolete, and efficiency needs to be improved quickly. The plan for CdTe modules is to increase efficiency to over 14% next year and near 17% by the end of 2016. If that happens the company may stay competitive with the product.
We also don't yet know what the company will do with its acquisition of TetraSun, which was acquired this year to provide a pathway to a higher efficiency product. If successful in mass production, TetraSun's technology could allow for an entry into the residential and commercial markets where First Solar has so far been shut out.
Technology is the challenge for First Solar, but the company's major competitive advantage is its efficiency in building utility-scale solar projects. Even if CdTe panels become obsolete and TetraSun's technology fails, it can fall back on building projects with other manufacturers' panels.
What makes the company intriguing for 2014 is that the utility-scale market appears to be making a comeback, and, with high margins in Japan and the U.S., I think there's an opportunity to increase backlog and even begin holding projects on the balance sheet, the way SunEdison is. There's also lots of upside if manufacturing technology improves and opens up new markets.
First Solar probably won't be the best stock in solar long-term, but it may be the most consistent.
One more energy stock to look into
The solar industry is improving quickly but there's one energy company that's already generating high returns for shareholders. And Warren Buffett is so confident in this company's can't-live-without-it business model, he just loaded up on 8.8 million shares. An exclusive, brand-new Motley Fool report reveals the company we're calling OPEC's Worst Nightmare. Just click HERE to uncover the name of this industry-leading stock... and join Buffett in his quest for a veritable LANDSLIDE of profits!

The Pennsylvania College of Technology women's soccer team had a record-setting performance and four of the college's fall teams posted a combined 5-0-1 record last week.
Women's soccer
In five previous matches since 2005 against NCAA Division III Lycoming College, Penn College was scoreless and had given up 27 goals. Although it failed to score again this year, a 0-0 tie Thursday with the Warriors was, in many ways, as good as a win.
"We played an amazing game. It was probably the best I've ever seen the team perform since I've been at Penn College," said Markus Rybak, who is in his third season as head coach. "We had clear chances to score and just didn't. Overall, I thought we were even, if not a little better than they were. ... It's a good accomplishment for us."
Although the match goes into the record books as a tie, a penalty-kick shootout gave the Wildcats their first Battle for the Lumber trophy, awarded annually since 2010 to the winner between the two city colleges.
On Saturday at PSU Beaver, Jocelyn Moyer scored a career-high four goals and Kaileen Delaney added three as Penn College dominated in every phase of the game, outshooting Beaver, 55-1, and winning, 17-0. The 17 goals are a school record and the team improved to 5-1-1. Scoring two goals each for the Wildcats were Valeria Passalacqua, Elizabeth Greis and Madilyn Walters.
Men's soccer
Three goals in the second half lifted the Wildcats to a 3-2 non-conference win at Mt. Aloysius College Thursday. Jose Gomez-Zavala scored what proved to be the game-winner in the 74 th minute.
Returning to Penn State University Athletic Conference action on Saturday, Penn College outshot PSU Beaver, 15-2, in a 6-0 win. Christopher Brennan and Luke McFalls each scored two goals and Tarik LaRoche had two assists as the Wildcats improved to 6-1-1 overall and 4-0 in the conference.
Team tennis
Nathan Scott, Adam Smith, Jordan Rodgers and Christopher Morrin all were double winners (in singles and doubles) on Saturday in a 7-2 Penn College victory over PSU Lehigh Valley that improved the team's record to 2-1.
Women's volleyball
Tara Powell had nine kills in Penn College's 3-0 PSUAC win at PSU Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday. Morgan Moberg had 13 assists. The Wildcats are 5-3 overall and 3-0 in the PSUAC.
Cross country
Competing against NCAA Division II and III schools, the Penn College men finished 11th in a 12-team field at the Lock Haven University River Run Invitational on Saturday. Wildcat Dan Starr placed 103rd in a personal-best 29 minutes, 55 seconds, over the 8K course. Carnegie Mellon University finished first and Lock Haven was second.
Odds and ends
Women's volleyball player Powell, a senior outside hitter, was named PSUAC women's volleyball Player of the Week for the period ending Sept. 16. In four games Powell had 35 kills and 37 digs as the Wildcats went 3-1.
In the Week 3 United States Collegiate Athletic Association Coaches' polls, the Penn College women's soccer team is No. 3, the men's soccer team is No. 8 and the women's volleyball team is No. 15.

Taken in the Night
A Child's Kidnapping Spurs a California Town—and Winona Ryder—to Action
But this was no slumber-party prank—and there was every reason to be frightened. The intruder, wielding a large knife, tied and gagged Kate and Gillian, both 12, then hoisted Polly—pleading, "Please don't hurt my mom and sister"—under his arm and carried her away. The abduction has stunned suburban Petaluma, Calif, (pop. 45,000), 38 miles north of San Francisco, and thousands of volunteers—friends and strangers alike—have mobilized a vast effort to find the missing girl.
One former Petaluma resident in particular was struck by Polly's plight: actress Winona Ryder, 21, who had had some of the same teachers as Polly at Petaluma Junior High. "I'm still kind of discombobulated and in shock," says Ryder, who learned of Polly's plight on an Oct. 5 broadcast of the syndicated TV show America's Most Wanted and offered a $200,000 reward for information leading to her safe return. "All the things that are good in my life now I got in Petaluma—when I was Polly's age."
On the day of the kidnapping, Polly had cleaned her room, just as she had promised, so her mother let her invite two girlfriends to spend the night. Polly, Gillian and Kate shared a pizza for dinner, then strolled through the tree-lined streets of the quiet middle-class neighborhood to get Popsicles at the corner store. The girls spent the rest of the evening in Polly's bedroom, giggling, lying on the floor next to Polly's stuffed-animal-strewn bunk bed and playing Perfect Match, a board game involving choosing the man of their dreams.
At about 10 p.m., Polly's mother, Eve Nichol, 42, the manager of mail-order sales for Biobottoms, a Petaluma company that makes fabric covers for diapers, stuck her head in and told the girls to quiet down and be ready for bed by 11. (Eve was divorced in 1983 from Polly's father, Marc Klaas, who manages a Hertz car-rental agency in San Francisco.) Then Eve pried her younger daughter, Annie, 6, away from the older girls, and the two went to sleep in the adjoining bedroom. About half an hour later, Polly got up to go spread three sleeping bags out in the living room. When she opened her bedroom door, the stranger was standing there. He had apparently entered the one-story house through an open window.
According to what Kate and Gillian later told police, the 6'3" man—who asked, "Which one of you lives here?"—tied them up before the full import of what was happening sank in, then carried away Polly, who is 4'10" and weighs only 80 pounds. At this point the girls (whose last names have not been released) say they are glad they didn't scream the moment they saw the man. "If we'd yelled, Polly's mom would have heard," said Kate. "And this guy would have killed one of us."
Within 20 minutes, Kate wriggled free of her bonds, awakened Eve and told her what had happened. "I was in a state of total disbelief," says Eve. "Then I heard Gillian crying. She said, 'It's true. He was here. He took Polly.' Annie didn't even wake up." By the time Eve was out of bed and on the phone to police, she recalls, "Gillian was running through the house wildly, looking for Polly, and Kate began sobbing."
By morning, news of the abduction had spread through Petaluma, and volunteers began distributing flyers with Polly's picture all over the country. Five million flyers went out in the first 10 days. But her parents stress that Polly is not the grown-up-looking young woman she appears on her poster. "She's still a little girl who is afraid of the dark and afraid of being alone," says her father, Marc Klaas, who shares custody of his daughter with Eve. According to Klaas's fiancée, realtor Violet Cheer, 33, "He lives for Polly." Eve Nichol (who separated last year from her second husband, Allan Nichol, 48, a Sebastopol, Calif., architect who is father to Annie) says her daughter is a bookish child who likes to play dress-up with her little sister, practice her clarinet, play with her new kitten, Milo, and visit her dad. Nichol describes her as "shy but very precocious and smart."
Polly's schoolmates are convinced their friend has the spunk to survive. Kirsten North, 13, says that, with her pals, Polly can be "hyper, fun and crazy." Polly's stepbrother, David Nichol, 19, agrees. "She's a really strong kid," he says. "And she always gets the last word.
She also, apparently, has much in common with the actress who has come to her aid. Ryder, who saw a videotape of the dark-haired, elfin Polly leaping about the stage in a school play, says, "I started acting when I was 12, Polly's age. I got a real sense of déjà vu." She isn't the only one. Ironically, just days before the kidnapping, Eve says that Polly's history teacher had told Polly of another shy but talented student from the school—one who was "so shy she never even raised her hand in class," but who had gone on to be a famous star. That student was Winona Ryder. "Polly was so excited," remembers Eve. "She told me her greatest dream was to meet Winona."
She may yet get the chance. Though police and FBI agents admit they are "baffled" by the unusual case, they have given the family cause for some optimism that Polly is still alive. They have searched the surrounding area, including swamps, and are putting together a psychological profile and a composite picture of the criminal. "There's been extensive profiling on Polly and the dynamics of the abduction," says Klaas, "and we are assured she is not in mortal danger." Police spokesman Sgt. Mike Kerns says, "This will take some luck, but somewhere, some citizen may see the suspect or Polly and remember what he or she looked like—and bingo, that's the one that works." The publicity surrounding the case has produced some 2,000 leads, but investigators publicly speculate only that the kidnapper "targeted" Polly, perhaps after watching her around the neighborhood, before striking. "We've been told it's a guy with a big hole in his life," says Eve. "Someone who may be wanting to capture some family feeling by taking Polly."
In the meantime, it is Polly's extended family and friends who are feeling a hole in their lives. Polly's parents are coping as best they can, putting in long hours at the volunteer command center set up in a former stationery store in downtown Petaluma to coordinate search efforts. Gillian's mother has said her daughter is suffering from a sort of post-traumatic shock after witnessing the kidnapping, and Kate told the local newspaper, "I can't feel anything. It's like your emotions are on ice." But a special friend of Polly's has grand plans for her return. Jason Alan Hafer, 12, a Petaluma Junior High classmate, brought a letter on Oct. 12 to Marc, Eve and Violet. "Polly is a good friend of mine and I really miss her," he wrote. "I hope they find her soon and when they do I'm going to get her the biggest present there is."

Sheriff Mitch Ralston was elected in November, 2008 and took Office January 1st, 2009. He is a native of Gordon County from an old and well known family. He attended public schools in Gordon County, and graduated from Calhoun High School.
Sheriff Ralston began his career in public service after high school by joining the Calhoun Fire Department. He transferred from the Fire Department to the Calhoun Police Department in 1989 and obtained his peace officer certification. In 1991 Sheriff Ralston joined the Georgia State Patrol. After completing trooper school, he received a variety of assignments in north Georgia, including the GSP SWAT team, and the elite 'Nighthawk' Unit in metro Atlanta. In 2008, Sheriff Ralston retired from the State Patrol and successfully ran for Sheriff of Gordon County, receiving a record number of votes in a sheriff's election.
Since assuming Office on January 1st, 2009, Sheriff Ralston set about restructuring the Sheriff's Office, bolstering the patrol, detective, school resource, and counter-drug units, as well as successfully completing the move from the old county jail on Piedmont Street to the new multi-million dollar facility in Resaca, all without budgetary increases. Sheriff Ralston's priorities have included changing the image of the Sheriff's Office to that of a professional law enforcement agency, restoring relationships with other local, state, and federal authorities, increasing required training for his staff, and offsetting costs in the new jail by methods such as efficient use of inmate labor, and strict management of overtime expenditures. Several 'firsts' for the Sheriff's Office under Sheriff Ralston include a domestic violence investigation/prevention program, and an Auxiliary Unit. Sheriff Ralston believes in delivering the finest quality law enforcement services to the people of Gordon County at the most efficient cost possible.
Sheriff Ralston is a member of Coosawatee Lodge No. 306 F&AM, and the Yaarab Shriners. He and his family make their church home at Ranger Baptist Church. Sheriff Ralston and his wife Nikki have three school-aged children.

I was just going to order the MakerBot CupCake CNC 3D Printer Kit but they never seem to be in stock so I guess I'll just have to figure it out.
One of the more interesting aspects of MakerBot (I think since I don't have actually have one yet) is the customization capability…plywood is ok, acrylic is ok but what about [material of choice goes here]. A CorianBot??? Thin, etched, backlit Corian is translucent…that could be very cool. Could double as a cutting board in a pinch. A BambooBot? I'm looking forward to seeing what types of Bots emerge.
For this bot I am using ¼" maple plywood that I purchased in 4'x8' sheets (off Craigslist) a few months ago. The plywood is somewhere between thirty and fifty years old. The maple sheet was sold to me as cherry (honest mistake I think), the other sheet is mahogany. I purchased them as I thought they sounded interesting but I didn't have a specific project in mind at the time. The maple sheet has a thin (approx. 1/30") veneer over a solid core – one side has maple veneer and the other side is probably birch veneer. Not sure what the core is made of but the plywood is solid, flat and 6mm thick. The other sheet has mahogany veneer on both sides. I expected to have some difficulty laser cutting it but so far so good. Wish I'd purchased more when I had the chance…
Of course, I was preoccupied making sure the first piece for the first cut was properly aligned and the laser settings were correct and I put it in upside down (birch side up). Ugh! Oh well, as long as it is sized properly I'll still use it.
This plywood is really nice and I can't wait to get this bot printing!!

Pokemon Snap was amazing. So many people hate it...not sure why. Possibly too "mature" to reveal their love for Pokemon and don't want to look stupid in front of their peers? Heh. I'm 15 and I loved this game when it came out, I imagine I still would. I rented it when I was like 8 and ALMOST beat it.
i thought it was intresting twist to the game world. offered alot of secrets. at the time though i only played this game to capture photos of the rare pokemon articuno, moltress, zapdos and mew. i printed em out at that blockbuster station they had and showed off wit em. thats really the only purpose of the game imo. pokemon has come so far since then it....wel...just seems like its an UNnesscary classic. and im sure someone will have something smart to say about what i said but o well
Calling this game lame makes me want to insult ssbb and laugh at it's release date being pushed. This game was completely awesome, where else do you get to play as a bi-curious character taking pictures of Pokemon in their natural habitat?!?!?
No but really, this game was awesome. It was a nice way to actually not train a bunch of starter Pokemon you forced your younger sibling to give you by making them make multiple new games, using the missingo glitch, and cheering that you got to a high level. You actually get to chuck apples at Pokemon! It doesn't get more fun then chucking edible fruits at Pokemon as they live? Ionno

This game is pretty cool and i liked it too when i played it... but i rather have if they brought out super smash bros or goldeneye 007 for the N64 holiday for december, then i would really buy and i wouldnt care if its 1,000 points and buy either one or both of them too as well.

FAU Celebrates Fall 2011 Commencement
BOCA RATON, FL (December 8, 2011) –
Florida Atlantic University will confer more than 2,300 degrees Thursday, December 8 and Friday, December 9 during five commencement ceremonies held in the Carole and Barry Kaye Performing Arts Auditorium on the Boca Raton campus. The new graduates join more than 123,000 alumni who have graduated from FAU since the university opened its doors in 1964. This year's commencement marks the 102nd ceremony for the University, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.
"I am incredibly proud of FAU's graduates and their achievements," said FAU President Mary Jane Saunders. "Commencement is always a testament to the quality of the University's faculty, and the talent and determination of its students. I look forward to celebrating this day with FAU's students, their parents, as well as other members of the extended FAU community."
The ceremony being held on December 8, at 9 a.m. will honor Nancy Blosser, former chair of FAU's Board of Trustees, and Shawn Friedkin, founder of Stand Among Friends (SAF), with the President's Distinguished Service Medallion.
Ralph de la Vega, president and CEO of AT&T Mobility & Consumer Markets and FAU alumnus, will be awarded with an honorary doctorate from the College of Engineering and Computer Science in the Thursday ceremony at 1 p.m. Dr. Michael Posner, professor emeritus at the University of Oregon and adjunct professor of psychology in psychiatry at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University, also will be awarded an honorary doctorate from the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine on December 9, at 1 p.m.
Fall commencement also highlights the accomplishments of outstanding graduates, including:
- Andreas Kyriacou is the first FAU student to receive a Professional Master of Science degree in medical physics, the only program in medical physics in the state of Florida that is nationally recognized as a Professional Science Masters (PSM) by the Council of Graduate Schools. Kyriacou recently passed the first board examination in medical physics of the American Board of Radiology. After he graduates with his Ph.D. in physics from FAU, Kyriacou plans to pursue a career as a medical physicist within a radiation oncology organization.
- Tricia Meredithwill receive her Ph.D. in integrative biology from FAU. Through her doctoral dissertation research on the sense of smell in sharks, rays and skates, Meredith hopes to clarify misconceptions and fears about sharks specifically, and has found that sharks may not be as sensitive to odors as previously thought.
- Dean Peterson has already built a stellar, international career as an opera singer and says he was put on that path by FAU faculty during his studies. Peterson has spent 14 years at the Metropolitan Opera in New York and is coming up on his 15th production at La Scala opera house in Italy. Peterson will sing "The Star Spangled Banner" at his own commencement ceremony where he will receive a Master of Arts in music from FAU.
Some interesting statistics regarding the fall graduating class include the fact that 91 of the degree recipients were over the age of 50. The oldest graduate was 82, and the youngest was 19. The graduates represent 57 countries.

I was at bass pro recently and was looking at the pellets. I know their prices aren't cheap, however I was very surprised at how much the non lead pellets cost. I have never used them. Are they most accurate? Any positives? School me if you know. I like lead because they can be saved in a pellet trap to someday melt down to make bullets.

Industry-Commerce leaders seek Sonia's intervention
By Express News Service - THIRUVANANTHAPURAM

Last Updated: 04th October 2013 11:28 AM
The Trivandrum Chamber of Commerce and Industry (TCCI) is pinning all hopes on an early intervention of UPA chairperson and Congress president Sonia Gandhi to persuade the State Government to take up projects of significance for the development of the capital city and surrounding areas.
A team, comprising S N Raghuchandran Nair (TCCI), E M Najeeb (president, Confederation of Tourism Industry), Abraham Thomas (Apaxa), V K Mathews (CII) and K Srikant (TATF) met Sonia at the Raj Bhavan and presented a memorandum with a road map for development.
They pointed out that despite great potential, infrastructure development is still a far cry for the capital.
The group urged Sonia to ensure that the Vizhinjam Container Transshipment Terminal project became a reality at the earliest. The third phase of development of Thiruvananthapuram International Airport, the long pending demand of a High Court Bench in the capital, an effective mechanism for garbage disposal, sanctioning of eligible incentives for IT parks, a scheme to widen and limit the width of highways at 45 meters in the state in view of the rising number of accidents and inclusion of non-government institutions in the proposed Real Estate Regulatory laws were the other demands put forth in the memorandum.

text: Competition Newsletter Publication | February 2012 In this issue Leisure engineering: when the sanction drifts apart from a fair price Supervision of orders authorising search and seizure procedures: two Courts of Appeal put up resistance The French Competition Authority declines to impose interim measures against Oracle, but continues its investigation on the merits of Hewlett-Packard's complaint In this issue We discuss a new application by the FCA of its guidelines on the method of setting fines in the cartel on the leisure engineering sector.We welcome the annulment by two courts of appeal of two search and seizure authorization warrants due to lack of effective assessment on the merits of the administration's requests.We analyse the decision by which the FCA refuses to impose interim measures in the Hewlett Packard case, particularly in light of the implementation of the criteria used to assess the potential illegality of a refusal to supply by a firm having a dominant position. Leisure engineering: when the sanction drifts apart from a fair price SummaryBy a decision dated 12 January 2012, the French competition authority (FCA) fined several consulting firms for their participation in a cartel in the engineering sector for leisure, culture and tourism (LCT). This decision constitutes another surprising application of the FCA's guidelines on the calculation of financial penalties (the Guidelines).In this case, the FCA had commenced a proceeding against consulting firms active in the LCT engineering sector in France, as well as against their professional association, the Gefil, for having agreed on their tariffs in the framework of public and private procurement, by setting price directives cleverly denominated the "Fair Price", and supervising the tariffs offered, potentially resulting in the exclusion of non-compliant members.In their defence, the firms alleged that such "Fair Price" was not directed to members, but to clients in order to help them combat unreasonably low prices offered by some firms in this sector. While admitting that the "Fair Price" was addressed to clients, the FCA nevertheless considered that the consulting firms perceived it as a directive in setting their offers, which they were encouraged to comply with due to the price control policy organised by the Gefil.According to the FCA, this constituted an anticompetitive practice per se, regardless of the fact that the Gefil had approved the membership of firms offering lower prices than the "Fair Price", that a small number of letters were sent to principals, or that no evidence had been found of actual sanctions being applied to members in case of "dumping". According to the FCA, this practice merited a fine due to its sole object.A fine, perhaps, but of what amount? Insofar as the purpose of the practice was price fixing, a literal interpretation of the Guidelines should have resulted in the FCA setting the base amount of the fine at between 15 and 30 per cent of the sales value of the services concerned. However, the FCA itself could not resolve to enforce the Guidelines in such manner, as it admitted that, in this case, even though the infringement was serious by its very nature, the manner in which it was implemented made it far less serious. Moreover, the damage to the economy was "very weak", the FCA acknowledged, since the Gefil's directives were not closely followed, and the means of pressure and sanction procedure were not very sophisticated and not actually applied.The FCA therefore arbitrarily set the base amount at 9 per cent. Even so, the FCA came up with surprisingly high levels of fines as compared to its previous decisions. Each consulting firm had a fine imposed on it representing between 1 and 5 per cent of its turnover, except Deloitte Conseil, which fine represented 0.1 per cent, although this was then subjected to an increase of 50 per cent because it belonged to a worldwide group with much more significant resources than the other firms (which were mostly small or very small companies).The large margin of appreciation thereby exercised by the FCA renders less interesting the reductions which were then granted to the firms in consideration of their own individual factors (mono-product, size, contributing capacity, etc.). Is that a "Fair Price" to pay for the goals of transparency and legal certainty that were intended by the Guidelines in the first place? Supervision of orders authorising search and seizure procedures: two Courts of Appeal put up resistance SummaryBy two orders dated 8 November and 25 November 2011, the Chief Justices of the Orleans and Metz Courts of Appeal declared void the search and seizure authorisation warrants issued by two Judges of Liberty and Detention (JLD), as well as the subsequent operations, for lack of effective supervision of the merits of the administration's requests. A favourable echo given by courts to arguments that companies have put forward for a long time, proving that there may still be hope to see the practice of pre-drafted warrants better supervised.Given that searches and seizures represent a serious attempt against the inviolability of the home, article L. 450-4 of the French commercial code subjects the merits of a search and seizure authorisation request to the supervision of the JLD. However, Supreme Court case law has established a presumption according to which the JLD is deemed to have exerted sufficient supervision even when the method of pre-drafted warrants prepared by the administration is used.This was not the opinion of two courts of appeal which, notwithstanding the presumption established by the Supreme Court, annulled the authorisation warrants issued by two JLDs because it was obvious that the JLD could not, in practice, have exercised genuine supervision of the merits of the administration's requests.In the first case, the Chief Justice of the Orleans Court of Appeal considered, in light of the time available for the review and the material errors contained in the warrant, that the JLD had not read either the pre-drafted warrant or the attached documents, and had nevertheless signed the warrant. The Chief Justice of the Metz Court of Appeal admitted that the JLD could accept the administration's arguments, subject however to the condition that the judge actually carries out a careful reading and scrutiny of the pre-drafted warrant and the documents attached to it. In the present case, however, this had clearly not been done, since the judge had not corrected several significant mistakes contained in the pre-drafted warrant.These decisions are to be welcomed, not only because they apply a genuine supervision, but also because they question the pre-drafted warrants method, despite the constant positive view taken by the Supreme Court on the subject.Indeed, the Chief Justice of the Orleans Court of Appeal openly condemned such practice, on the basis not only of article L. 450-4 of the French commercial code, but also articles 6, paragraph 1, and 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, noting that "the practice of pre-drafted warrants which, under the guise of facilitating the judge's task, is in fact an attempt to steer his decision [and] constitutes an interference of the administration in the powers of the judicial authority and is thus contrary to the right of individuals to have their case heard by an independent and fair tribunal".The Chief Justice of the Metz Court of Appeal did not openly criticise the practice of pre-drafted warrants, but considered that such practice required that the judge carries out "a careful reading of the warrant prepared by the administration, particularly as he has not written it".An appeal has already been lodged by the authorities before the Supreme Court against this second decision, it is to be feared that such audacity will stop at the doorstep of the Supreme Court. However, a thorough supervision of warrants pre-drafted by the administration is even more necessary considering that the Supreme Court case law provides an extensive interpretation of the administration's search and seizure powers to the administration, which has "carte blanche", among others, to carry out massive and undifferentiated electronic seizures.A glimmer of hope for companies whose fundamental liberties defence may therefore not be limited to bringing an ultimate action before the European Court of Human Rights. The French Competition Authority declines to impose interim measures against Oracle, but continues its investigation on the merits of Hewlett-Packard's complaint SummaryThe decision of the French Competition Authority (FCA) illustrates a recent tendency of competition authorities to adopt a flexible interpretation of the conditions allowing the sanctioning of instances of refusal to supply by dominant undertakings in cases involving markets where interoperability is crucial for innovation and consumers.Hewlett-Packard (HP) filed a complaint with the FCA against Oracle Corporation's (Oracle) decision to stop developing future versions of its relational database management system (RDBMS) which would support Intel's 'Itanium' processor, which HP uses almost exclusively to manufacture its range of "HP Integrity" servers.Alleging that Oracle enjoys a dominant position in the market for RDBMS, HP argued that this decision amounted to an abusive refusal to supply intended to drive HP out of the market for high-end corporate servers. According to HP, since changing RDBMS is much more expensive and risky than changing servers, companies using HP Integrity servers faced with the impossibility of migrating to a future version of Oracle's RDBMS, would choose to change their hardware platform rather than the RDBMS and, hence, opt for migrating to the new version of Oracle's RDBMS and replacing their HP servers with the servers of another manufacturer.An interesting aspect of the FCA's decision (the Decision) is its rather flexible analysis of the conditions permitting the sanctioning of refusal to supply decisions by dominant undertakings in order to assess whether Oracle's alleged conduct justifies continuing the investigation on the merits of the case.The FCA considers that the first criterion relating to the indispensability of the product to which access is refused cannot be excluded in light of Oracle's reputation and leadership position in the market, although other RDBMS compatible with HP Integrity servers exist. Similarly, the second criterion relating to the elimination of effective competition is deemed likely although HP still owns nearly one third of the market for high-end corporate servers and other suppliers of servers exist. The same flexible approach is taken in relation to the third criterion relating to the harm to consumers. In this respect, the FCA considers that the disappearance of HP Integrity servers would lead to the loss of "innovating products" and to the creation of a duopoly between Oracle and IBM which are fully integrated at the various stages of the 'technology stack' (hardware, operating systems, databases, middleware and software applications).This approach contrasts with the rigorous analysis undertaken by the FCA in rejecting the interim measures requested by HP. Here, the FCA sets aside any risk of a serious and immediate harm to the general economy or the sector involved (the main criterion to grant interim measures) considering the existence of alternatives to Oracle's RDBMS and the fact that, according to HP's own estimations, it would only lose a fraction of its clients over a period of two to five years.Hence, the same facts lead to significantly opposite conclusions depending on whether the FCA assesses the appropriateness of continuing its investigation on the merits or HP's request for interim measures. While the rejection of the requested interim measures comes as no surprise since such measures are seldom granted (especially on the basis of rules prohibiting dominant positions which involve complex economic assessments difficult to perform on the basis of prima facie evidence), the Decision reveals a certain readiness to adopt a flexible interpretation of the conditions allowing sanctioning of refusal to supply decisions by dominant undertakings, at least in cases involving markets where interoperability is crucial for innovation and consumers. Practice: Antitrust and competition Top

Last week I put the hoos in their place in a Q&A with Chris Graham of thesportsdominion.com. This week we turn our attention to those brainiacs from Durham, North Carolina. Thanks to dukebasketballreport.com for participating in a friendly Q&A.
The duke Basketball Report (dBR) is the authority for duke basketball news. In other words, they are the "TechHoops.com" of duke basketball
General Questions
Q1: Why do you think everyone else in the ACC hates duke so much?
dBR: That's a better question for you. I guess success breeds contempt. No one seems to really hate Duke football.
Q2: I work in maryland and they REALLY hate duke. Almost to an unhealthy level. Where did this come from?
dBR: Not really sure. It only gradually dawned on me. I guess for Duke, Maryland was just a team to beat on the way to the NCAAs for a long time, and Maryland fans got sick of it. The team has gotten a lot more competitive lately too and it's hardly a gimme game anymore. (Note: uva and unc also see duke as their rivals in basketball.)
Q3: Who would make a better villain on 24: christian laettner or j.j. redick?
dBR: Well, Laettner doesn't care if you love him or not, so Laettner.
Q4: Walk me through what krzyzewski-ville is like. What goes on in those tents – shooting dice or doing schoolwork? What are the rules?
dBR: A lot of it's pretty boring, schoolwork and what not. But there are parties, and a certain amount of abandon, and I've heard a few good stories…
Q5: Any chance we could see a "krzyzewski-ville Gone Wild" video soon?
dBR: Ha. Give them another idea

Coal: The Forgotten Fuel
Antony Froggatt, Chatham House
This startling fact from the International Energy Agency (IEA)'s 2011 World Energy Outlook highlights the undeniable truth that unless the deployment of unabated coal is stopped, global emissions will exceed the two degree threshold within a decade. Changing this growth pattern will not be easy as most of the recent growth and predicted new consumption of coal is expected in the emerging economies, such as China and India. Both countries are expected to double their coal consumption in the power sector by 2035 if existing policies remain in force as they continue to meet demand caused by ever increasing urbanization and remain at the heart of global manufacturing. . .

The spawn points haven't gotten any worse. More people just know about them now!
I was in a Conflict game on Outpost yesterday afternoon and had about 23 kills with a 6 kill lead. So basically, i was looking to put one last good little streak together to close out the match. Then i got randomly sniped from behind. Ok, fine, it happens. But then I repeatedly spawned in the "side alley" across from the center building and in the open space next to it a bunch of times - and Lee was just sitting on those spawn points ivana'ing away from the top window in the center building. I think he got me 4 spawns in a row before I finally spawned somewhere different. Needless to say, that stalled me considerably from a time standpoint and bought the rest of the field enough time to catch up, and I had to work to win the rest of the match. Obviously, I made a point to climb up the wing of the plane in the middle and take out Lee first before killing anyone else - I wasn't gonna give him the pleasure of a spawn kill 5 dom!

BAY CITY, MI — As the United Way of Bay County narrows a field of executive director candidates to three finalists, officials say it is unlikely someone will be appointed in time to immediately succeed the organization's current director.
The news comes as current Executive Director and CEO Mike Dewey prepares to vacate the post. Dewey, who was initially scheduled to work his last day with the United Way on Monday, June 30, recently extended his stay through Thursday, July 31, while the interview process continued. Following his departure, he will serve as director of the Community Advancement Network.
Linda Vermeesch, director of administration and finance for the United Way, said that interviews are scheduled for Monday, July 21, and as a result it is unlikely the group will be able to have a new executive director on the job before Dewey departs.
"Even if one of those candidates are selected, there would be a transition period for them to give notice," she said.
Vermeesch said it is possible an interim director could be appointed by the United Way's Board of Directors in advance of a new appointee assuming leadership, but it would not pose a problem for the United Way's services.
Dewey said he could not estimate how long a gap in permanent leadership might be, or if an interim director would be necessary.
"It varies," he said. "Who knows? My last day is the 31st. If they select someone on the 21st or 22nd, maybe the candidate could say they could start on Aug. 4 or 5. But if not, we've got a policy and procedure."
Dewey said Vermeesch served as interim director immediately prior to his arrival.
Dewey added that he could not indicate who the three finalists are, or give out details on their current careers or places of residence, but said they were part of a group of five individuals who were interviewed on Friday, June 27. Vermeesch previously noted that those five are members of the Bay Area community with a range of government and nonprofit experience.
Dewey said the job is still posted and open to applicants, and noted that the board will consider candidates who voice an interest by July 15. Vermeesch said the group is confident in the three candidates it has found, but is still hoping to hold out in case more talent comes along.
"I think we're happy with the three candidates, but there's always the possibility that someone didn't see the posting, someone that may have more fundraising (experience) or experience in a nonprofit," she said. "We're always going to keep the door open until the 15th to make sure we take in every possibility that we can."
Dewey noted that he hopes the board will select a candidate by the end of July, but noted that if his assistance is needed, he will provide time as he's able.
"If the board needs me to assist in any way possible … I'm more than happy to do that," he said. "It's just I can't on a regular basis, and the board understands that. That's why they're setting the goal to have someone by the end of the month."
Following the announcement of his departure, Dewey explained that the Community Advancement Network works to provide business consultancy to area nonprofits, from providing training to coordinating internship programs.
"I saw it as an opportunity to be able to help and assist," he said in March. "There's over 2,400 nonprofits in the Great Lakes Bay Region. I saw it as a tremendous opportunity to help and assist them become stronger."
Vermeesch said Dewey began working part-time at both the United Way and the Community Advancement Network on Monday, June 16, and will continue to do so until his departure.
Dewey, who previously worked as superintendent of the Bay-Arenac Intermediate School District, has headed the United Way of Bay County since August 2012. The group's latest fundraising campaign, running from the fall of 2013 through the beginning of 2014, saw $1 million raised of a $1.15 million goal, resulting in $644,000 allocated to community initiatives, including $575,000 designated for 37 programs at 20 partner agencies.
"I'm extremely confident in the United Way of Bay County and the board, the staff, that they're going to continue to be able to do good things and meet the needs of families in Bay County," Dewey said. "I've been honored to serve as executive director."
