Cheri Ellis-Reeves of Elizabethtown has found a passion in volunteering and she encourages others to do the same.
She credits teamwork with playing an important role in what she does.
"We all work together here," the Elizabethtown resident said, as she visited Helping Hand of Hope's Elizabethtown office.
The organization, which also has an office in Radcliff, offers assistance to those in need. Among other things, Helping Hand of Hope provides food and clothing, financial assistance and job readiness training.
Recently, going through an airport, I saw a poster of a beautiful little girl around 4, saying, "All I want for Christmas is a family." It was an effective marketing tool because it touched my heart.
There are many people wanting to adopt and many children waiting for someone to love them. Bless those who can find the place and time in their lives to give this little girl the best present of her life. Not everyone can adopt, but there are many children who just need someone to be their voice.
I can't call myself a stay-at-home mom anymore.
You see, I got a real-live, brush-your-hair-every-day, leave-the-house type of job. And I'm so excited, so thrilled and so nervous.
Vine Grove's Sallie Potts had a life-changing experience in 2009.
She was hit head-on by a drunken driver.
"My life came to a dramatic change the evening of Nov. 30, 2009," she said.
Despite her share of trials, tribulations and tragedy, Truletta Thomas this month marked 41 years of operating Trudy's Wig & Beauty Boutique, a beauty shop that once was just a dream.
"It hasn't been easy," Thomas said of pursuing her dream. "My mom died when I was 9."
Sure, I get that everyone's tired of winter and ready for spring already.
That we haven't had this many below-freezing days in a row in years.
That we had snow on the ground for almost two weeks.
But the trees. They were absolutely spectacular.
After freezing rain Feb. 4 coated trees with half an inch of ice, we were treated to a winter wonderland that rivaled any staged Christmas light show.
Lydia Payne's focus is to make life better for area children.
Some of what the 59-year-old does is through the Vine Grove Optimist Club, but she helped kids long before her move to Hardin County.
At age 19, she left her hometown in Mississippi when she became a military wife. After having two kids, that marriage ended in divorce, but she met another military man, Daniel, and has been married to him for 30 years.
When she met him, she only weighed 72 pounds and was anorexic.
For some, the month of February is just the second month of the year, a time to let your sweetie know how much you care, to worry if the groundhog saw his shadow, to get income taxes done and find out if you are getting a big, fat refund check.
In the dining room of The Lord's Supper Soup Kitchen in Radcliff, Carolyn Hicks stood at a dry erase board and jotted down the three main units of the metric system: gram, liter and meter.
Three students who sat at a table nearby leaned forward with interest as Hicks wrote down and explained the meanings of prefixes for those units, such as kilo.
"The first time I heard 'kilo' was on TV, and they were talking about drugs," Hicks told the students.
While getting my hair cut, I started a conversation with some lovely ladies about what they would like to read about. Overwhelmingly, they wanted to hear some ideas and suggestions on helping their children gain and keep confidence in themselves. I remember struggling with that same thought when my children were growing up. As a parent, most all of us want what is best for our child.

Breastfeeding in public
Mom to a wonderful little boy!!! DOB: 9/30/2012
Jordan & Ryan- Married 05/09/09
<3 Brighton Grace- 05/17/12 <3
( . )( . ) SILVER going for GOLD!
C + D = Baby G
It's a BOY!! EDD 10/31/12
***FTM to Barney Scott 9.15.12. and loving EBF**** SAHM by simply using eco-friendly home, health, body and beauty care!
I've been to a lot of breastfeeding groups, and plenty of moms bring their own boppy pillows. No one will look at you funny if you bring everything you need. And a room full of other moms who nurse is probably the best place to try nursing in public for the first time! You know you won't get any uncomfortable comments or looks, and seeing other moms nurse will help normalize it for you. Good luck! I don't think I missed a meeting until my ODS was 2. BFing group was really helpful in all sorts of ways.
I commend you and all the other moms that can do this. I honestly would just give them a bottle. I was one of those moms that had a nearly 10 pound baby who wanted to eat every 15 minutes and gave up completely on nursing after two weeks. Part of this was because I was so scarred..I went couch shopping with my mom one day and this woman had her tits exposed in the middle of the rooms-to-go with people passing by feeding her kid. It was THE MOST AWKWARD THING and I swore I would never do that. My kid is absolutely happy and loves his bottle and sleeps 13 hours a night without waking up. Helps me now because as of August I went back to school FT to finish my degree.
PS this wasn't just a little boob, IT WAS BOTH TITS AND NIPPLES HANGING OUT and it wasn't like we were staring..I came out of an aisle and BOOM. Like F cups.
Me (31) + Him (32) married 10/27/07
DS - born 7/23/12 (32 weeks) 4 lbs. 13 oz. 18 in
DS - born 5/18/15 at (35 weeks) 6 lbs. 5 oz. 19.75 in
I wear a vest top under my regular t-shirt so i can lift main top up and pull my vest top down. no one can see anything im a ftm and felt very nervous at first my now i dont care if my baby needs feeding itt feed him andtime anywhere . once you done it a few times your be a natural at it :)
PS I still don't think I'll be able to do it in front of the in-laws for a long time, though!
mama to one little boy born in September of 2012

Frequently Asked Questions for Medical/PA/DO Students
Applying to the Summer Research Program
Who should apply?
Students in an MD, DO, DDS or PA program who are considering careers focused on oncology and cancer research.
Are stipends or other funding available for health professional students?
Both paid and unpaid internships are offered. Paid internships are awarded to applicants who qualify for the funding source eligibility criteria.
How much is the stipend and what does it cover?
Subsistence allowances are $3,200 for the eight-week program in 2016. Subsistence allowances may be used to cover out-of-pocket expenses such as food, dormitory lodging (for out-of-town students) and other incidental costs.
I'm not a first-year student. Can I still apply?
We do not accept applications from students who are not in their first year of health professional school.
Do I have to submit an official transcript?
Yes. We require students to provide us with an official transcript from their school to demonstrate good standing. Refer to the application page for instructions on having a transcript sent to the Assistant Dean for Internships and Education Outreach.
What is the application deadline?
All applicants must complete their online application and submit supplemental materials by Sunday, January 10, 2016. See the online application portal for more instructions.
The Program
What are the program dates?
The 2015 program for graduate medical students starts on Monday, June 6 and ends on Friday, July 29.
What will I learn?
Interns will receive a formal orientation and on-boarding session. Interns will learn real world application of the scientific method while working on their assigned research project in their mentor's laboratory. The research experience will be supported by a curriculum of learning activities. These include seminars on pertinent and cutting-edge cancer topics and professional development activities such as attendance at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute science retreat.
Where will I be working?
You will be working in a Roswell Park research department alongside professional researchers, graduate students and laboratory technicians or in a clinical setting, training with physicians and other health professionals.
Will I get to meet other students in the program?
Yes. There are plenty of opportunities to meet and socialize with other students. As part of the peer-mentored cross-training activities you will have the chance to interact with health professional student interns in the program. You will learn about their projects and take tours of the clinics and research departments. These opportunities begin on the first day during orientation and continue through graduation.
Can I start later or leave earlier than the official starting or ending date of the program?
You must be able to commit full time to our program. All students are required to attend every day of the program and to work for a full day. You will not be allowed to take time off during the work week for family vacations, college visits or other appointments.
How many hours per day/week will I be required to participate in the internship experience?
Students are required to participate in the research experience Monday through Friday for eight weeks. Schedules are eight hours per day (Monday through Friday) for a total of 40 hours per week.
Can I take time off from the program if I already have a family vacation planned?
No. The program is a short-term experience and students will not be allowed to take time off for vacation. In an emergency, students who need to take at most one to two days off will be required to make up that time during the program. These arrangements are not guaranteed. Any requests will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Is there a dress code for interns?
Yes. Dress attire requirements are meant to ensure safety in the laboratories and professionalism in the clinical setting. For research internships, the dress code is long pants (no shorts, capris, or skirts), closed toe shoes (no sandals), and long hair secured in a ponytail. For clinical internships the dress code is business attire. In addition, there are a few days where all interns will be required to wear business attire for formal presentations. This information will be provided in detail to interns accepted into the program.
Lodging, Means and Transportation
I am from out of town. Where can I stay while in the program?
Students who live further than commuting distance from Roswell Park may either find their own living accommodations or live at the dormitories on the campus of Canisius College. The dormitory is recently renovated and features 24-hour security, free Wi-Fi access and air-conditioning. A Resident Assistant (RA) will be living in the dormitory with our students. Room and board expenses are paid by the student. Learn more about dormitories at Canisius College.
How much will my room and board cost?
The 2015 cost for a dorm room at Canisius was $25 per night. Out-of-town students will be informed of 2016 room rates as part of the acceptance offer. Any increase is not anticipated to be more than $1 – $2 per night.
Where can I eat?
The Canisius dormitories do not have a cafeteria that is open during the summer, but there are facilities for students to make their own meals. There is a cafeteria on the Roswell Park campus where food service is available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner during the work week and on weekends. Also, there are a variety of restaurants and diners throughout Buffalo featuring local and worldwide cuisine. Interns are responsible for paying for their own meals.
How can I get from the dormitory to Roswell Park?
Metro bus and subway lines are available modes of transportation. It is a two-minute walk from the Canisius College campus to the Metro rail station. Monthly passes are available for purchase once students arrive at the campus.
If I live in the dormitory, would I be able to go home for the weekends?
Yes. You will need to notify the Assistant Dean for Internships and Education Outreach. Interns are not allowed to leave early on Fridays or return late on Mondays to accommodate their weekend plans unless granted permission by the Assistant Dean for Internships and Education Outreach.
Social Activities
Are social activities planned for dormitory students during off-hours and weekends?
Yes. There are periodic social activities planned for both weeknights and weekends during the course of the program. These activities are meant for interns to bond with their peers and enjoy relaxation time away from their research experience. Participants will receive a program schedule that lists these activities shortly before the program begins.
What social activities will be taking place this year?
While 2016 events have not been confirmed yet, events in previous years have included restaurant nights, tours of Niagara Falls and Buffalo Bisons minor league baseball games.

This is the latest and most up-to-date Market Report
from Select Biosciences addressing the microRNA and Exosomes markets as
they are evolving. In this report, we focus upon the microRNA research
marketplace from the perspective of the translational opportunities in
these spaces. The focus of this field is moving from basic research
towards the utility of associations of microRNA expression patterns in
disease. In this manner, microRNA signatures may be validated as
biomarkers in many disease areas—cancers, cardiovascular disease,
neurological disease, inflammation, and metabolic diseases.
Select Biosciences
has characterized the associations of microRNAs in various disease
classes and presents these detailed associations as "hotspot maps" in
this report. Specifically, these associations [to be interpreted as
starting material for biomarker development and validation] are
described for many cancer classes, cardiovascular disease, CNS disease,
diabetes, inflammation, and obesity. They offer the opportunity for
R&D planning efforts addressing the question of "which microRNA
content needs to be addressed in a particular disease class."
data-driven characterization of the microRNAs and Exosomes landscape is
a hands-on document that can be used for competitive benchmarking,
business planning, and strategy development—all the data that have been
collected in this industry analysis are presented and they form the
basis for the conclusions drawn throughout the market report presented
in a format enabling "drag-and-drop" into business
presentations/business plans—this Market Report is written and delivered to customers in PowerPoint format.

This review is from: LaCie 2big Quadra 2TB USB 2.0 / Firewire400 / Firewire800 / eSATA 3.5" External Hard Drive 301352U
Pros: It works fine with the eSATA connection. I'm using Nero Backup, and it's saved me from a couple of software malfunctions that corrupted files.
Cons: It's VERY noisy. The "ventilation" is a joke, with six under 1/4" holes in the back of the enclosure. They try to compensate by making the enclosure one big finned heatsink, but the poor little internal fan is constantly running full speed. Don't even think of stashing this thing somewhere with poor ventilation, even if it does cut down on the noise.
Other Thoughts: The huge blue "eyeball" would be an issue if I didn't have it under my desk pointing into a corner. I just wonder what Security thinks when they come through at night and see the brilliant unearthly glow bathing my office in an occult blue light.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: ASUS GeForce GT 430 (Fermi) DirectX 11 ENGT430 DC SL/DI/1GD3 1GB 128-Bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
Pros: Silent. Installed and booted with no problems. Windows detects it and installs the drivers (but I downloaded the newest ones from Asus anyway). Bumped my Windows "Experience" Index to 6.7.
Cons: The 2D performance may actually be worse than the fanless Gigabyte HD4550 board that it replaced.
Other Thoughts: I have been trying to improve the performance of my desktop as an Audio Workstation and avoid building a whole new machine. While the Windows Index jumped significantly with this card, I'm not sure that it really did anything for me. I still get audio dropouts when doing simple 2D things like zooming audio tracks. I don't run a Web browser when I'm working, but tried it and get dropouts when loading and scrolling pages. I bumped up the memory clock and that seemed to help some, but I'd about decided to build a new machine anyway. Then Microsoft pushed Service Pack KB976932 this morning which, to my utter amazement, significantly improved my latency numbers. Maybe Microsoft can do something right after all? I'm still getting occasional glitches, but things are much improved. I'm going to upgrade my network card from the on-board Marvell Yukon to an IBM, and if that doesn't fix the last bit of glitching then it's time to bag it and build.READ FULL REVIEW

2015 National Drug Control Strategy
"We're partnering with communities to prevent drug use, reduce overdose deaths, help people get treatment. And under the Affordable Care Act, more health plans have to cover substance abuse disorders. The budget that I sent Congress would invest in things like state overdose prevention programs, preparing more first responders to save more lives, and expanding medication assisted treatment programs."
– President Obama, Charleston, West Virginia, October 21, 2015
The Obama Administration's first National Drug Control Strategy, published in 2010, charted a new course in efforts to reduce illicit drug use and its consequences in the United States. Science has shown that a substance use disorder is not a moral failing but rather a disease of the brain that can be prevented and treated. Informed by this basic understanding, the annual Strategies that followed have promoted a balance of evidence-based public health and safety initiatives. The 2015 Strategy focuses on seven core areas:
- Preventing drug use in our communities;
- Seeking early intervention opportunities in health care;
- Integrating treatment for substance use disorders into health care and supporting recovery;
- Breaking the cycle of drug use, crime, and incarceration;
- Disrupting domestic drug trafficking and production;
- Strengthening international partnerships; and
- Improving information systems to better address drug use and its consequences.
The Strategy emphasizes the Administration's commitment to confronting the prescription drug misuse and heroin epidemic. In 2010, the President's first National Drug Control Strategy emphasized the need for action to address opioid use disorders and overdose, while ensuring that individuals with pain receive safe, effective treatment. The next year, the White House released its national Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention Plan to outline goals for addressing prescription drug abuse and overdose. The President's Fiscal Year 2016 budget included $133 million in new investments aimed at addressing the opioid epidemic, including expanding state-level prescription drug overdose prevention strategies, medication-assisted treatment programs, and access to the overdose-reversal drug naloxone.
Beyond its function as a guide for shaping Federal policy, the Strategy is a useful resource for anyone interested in learning what is being done—and what other work can be done— to stop drug production and trafficking, prevent drug use, and provide care for those who are addicted. For parents, teachers, community leaders, law enforcement officers, elected officials, ordinary citizens, and others concerned about the health and safety of our young people, the Strategy is a valuable tool that not only informs but also can serve as a catalyst to spark positive change.

Live and let live... Apple iPhones and Google Android should both exist, geeeez

+1 for the article, Alan. Thank you.
I was beginning to get a good feeling until judge Koh was mentioned. This will indeed be her moment of glory or moment of shame, depending on what evidence she lets into the court room. If Samsung is right, Apple better get that $100 billion vault open, Samsung's collection team will be on their way for a withdrawal.

Apple would likely lose over half its vault considering every Apple product has some sort of Samsung logo in it.

Both Apple and Samsung stole the look and feel of their handsets from the LG Prada. I still have the original LG Prada, and the Iphone is almost an exact copy of it, only slightly bigger.
This is an excerpt from the way that Steve Jobs and Apple operate:

LG is now an APPLE supplier and needs money, so they will not sue, and maybe made a deal with apple already.
25. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
I wonder -did Apple alos patent THEFT?
27. iamcc (Posts: 1319; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
Nope! That's the one thing they kind of invented themselves.

Someone or entity has to stop this nonsense - it is something like this that hurts innovation - meanwhile, Android users will be seeing quad core 2.0 Ghz 2GB ram phones in 2012/2013...

Tim cook and samsungs CEO need to just step into the ring on ppv and squash this beef. The loser must withdraw all lawsuits, and say rubber baby buggy bumpers 7 times real fast.

they need to revive Celebrity Death Match and put those guys up against each other.. have some fun with it. :)
and at the end, goog/moto, HTC and the rest jump in and start dog piling the crap out of Apple for bullying them all individually.

its about damn time samsung started firing back hard. They've been around way too long to not have real ammo to fire at Apple.
Unlike apple, they have been mostly trying to play nice.

Oh come on!!! Samsung made this technology 20 years ago??? As far as mobile phones are concerned, Sammy has only made strides when Android showed up as a mobile platform. It is very evident that Samsung HAS BEEN COPYING other manufacturers since the post Nokia (internal antennae, full graphics display) and Motorola (clamshell) era.
I now have a Galaxy tab 7.7 that I mistaken the charging port to fit with my iPhone's as they are very similar in shape and design -- geez, get real Sammy!!!
53. dmn666 (Posts: 244; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
LOL. Faboys forgot how Samsung ripped off Motorola, Nokia, etc for ages. Moto, Nokia, Ericsson pushed the envelope over those years.
There is no one single thing Samsung brought to the table first.
Now Samsung is claiming to be the inventor of smartphone tech. I lol'd so hard after reading that. I think they just beat even the KIRF makers in the shamelessness race.

Interesting. Samsung says Apple is using thier components which have patents but how is Apple getting these components to start with???
62. Altair (Posts: 367; Member since: 02 Feb 2012)
Samsung was sucking milk at childs bed when Motorola & Nokia & Ericson
did all the mobile inventing. I can count several Samsuck devices which are
direct clones from famous and successful Nokia phones.
At time when those biggies were making 1st mobile phones. Korean people
were throwing rocks between south and north side of the land. When someone
hit another, they didin't use phones, but screamed loud.
Samsung is a thief
70. ankrul2004 (Posts: 16; Member since: 21 Mar 2012)
Is it just me or does it seem as though Motorola is primed to capture more market share after the chips fall in this patent war?
72. calfonso1278 (Posts: 5; Member since: 25 Jul 2012)
For everybody out there ! !!
Companies's Innovation should be measure by the number of patents own !!! Right ???
Please check the top list of companies with more US patents own !!! Check this report from Business Insider's Website.
1st Place -IBM: 70,715 US patents
2nd Place -Samsung: 47,855 U.S. patents
15th Place -Apple: 4,649 US patents.
Remember that on the Iphones around 25% of components are provided by Samsung !!!!
Samsung is the King of Innovation in the Smartphone Industry!!!!!
74. schecter7 (Posts: 99; Member since: 20 Apr 2012)
FAIL, dude. Number of patents doesn't say a sh*t about innovations. Google has 1000 patents and they are way more innovative than s**tsung will ever be.
78. Dion25 (Posts: 42; Member since: 25 Jul 2012)
Samsung is a huge company. They compete in many areas like Cell Phones, computers, Tv's, home appliances, clothing, they own the licensing rights to many of the famous clothing brands like Levi's, True Religion, Coogi, and many more so I'm sure those patents are spread over everything.
80. zhypher_23 (Posts: 195; Member since: 04 Jun 2012)
Finally Samsung Speaks up, Apple is s**t without Samsung, IYF Apple! :))
83. guildsa654 (Posts: 27; Member since: 12 Apr 2012)
But seriously, why did Samsung haven't said it before????? O_O
84. Adithya7184 (Posts: 317; Member since: 05 Mar 2011)
here you go ifans... Samsung started to kick back "apple's" ass...
Samsung is right.... Samsung designed its "star" range of phones(which almost looks like iPhone) before apple's iPhone was released.... Samsung made a mistake by not patenting its products...

Alcatel One Touch Idol S
Average of 1 scores (from 1 reviews)
Reviews for the Alcatel One Touch Idol S
Source: Expert Reviews
The Alcatel One Touch Idol S is a seriously impressive phone for the price. It's a shame there's not more storage space, but its excellent battery life and smart design make it a joy to use. It's very hard to choose between this handset and the Moto G. The G is very slightly faster and has 8GB of internal storage, but there's no microSD card slot, while the Idol S has stingy internal memory but expandable storage, and is available on a £19-per-month 4G contract from EE. The One Touch Idol S's slimline proportions and 4G connectivity just push the G into second place, though - it's our new budget champion and a Best Buy.

Leo Santa Cruz Eyes Rigondeaux: I'm Not Afraid of Him!
By Rick Reeno
WBC super bantamweight champion Leo Santa Cruz (27-0-1, 15KOs) has no fear of his division's boogeyman, WBA/WBO kingpin Guillermo Rigondeaux (14-0, 9KOs).
Santa Cruz must first defend his world title against big underdog Manuel Roman (17-2-3, 6KOs) on September 13th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The fight will be part of the Mayweather-Maidana Showtime Pay-Per-View undercard.
Rigondeaux, a two-time Olympic gold medal winner, recently became a partial free agent after his contract with Top Rank expired. He is still promoted by Caribe Promotions, who certainly won't stand in the way of a fight with Santa Cruz.
"That's what I'm trying to do. I want to show that I'm not scared of anybody and I want to be the first one to step up and challenge him, but it's not up to me it's up to whole team - if we fight him or not. If it was up to me I would fight him at any time. But it's not only up to me....it's up to my trainer, manager, my whole team. But I'm not scared of him and hopefully next year we can make that fight happen," Santa Cruz said.
[QUOTE=Mike D;14869406]No. No he cannot. Seriously I think he ends up looking way worse than Porter did against KB this past weekend. Still would like to see it, though.[/QUOTE] Leo seems like the perfect opponent for rigo. A cone forward…Comment by Mike D on 08-19-2014

Up until this point we have been working primarily with footage that's already been brought into the Final Cut environment. We have had limited exposure to the various options we have when importing assets, but in this chapter we are really going to go through every possible scenario about how you get material into the application. And in this movie we will get a little more acquainted with the Import dialog box. So let's start from scratch, I have got some footage I am going to import and just so you know this material is not included in the exercise files. But because we won't actually be editing with it you can use any of your own media that you like to follow along with if you wish.
So I am going to create a new event on my Mac hard drive. I'll just press Opt+N, and I am going to call it "Swing Dancing". Then I'll import media, I can click on this big button right here or just press Cmd+I and my Import dialog box opens. The footage I want to import is on the desktop in this folder called Swing Dancing. So I'll just go ahead and click on the Swing Dancing folder and say Import All. And let's take a look at the Import dialog box here.
Starting at the top let's just review several things we have already covered. We are already aware that we're bringing the media into the Swing Dancing event, and that the event resides on the Mac hard drive. If I wanted to create a new event and then move it to another hard drive, I could do it up here. We also already know that if I select Copy files to Final Cut Events folder that brand-new copies of media files will be created inside the Final Cut Events folder. If I leave his option unselected I'll just end up with pointer files in my Final Cut Events folder that will refer to that media on my desktop.
So I am going to go ahead and check this and also we already know that if I check this box that says Import folders as Keyword Collections that any subfolders that I have will come into Final Cut as Keyword Collections. I don't have any subfolders, in fact I just have that one folder that says Swing Dancing, so I'm not going to check this box. Now let's head down to Transcoding. Under Transcoding I have two options, Create optimized media and Create proxy media. If I select Create optimized media, then Final Cut is going to transcode or convert the footage from its native format into Apple ProRes 422 media, which essentially is the optimal type of media that Final Cut likes to work with.
So if I do this I'll end up with the best possible combination of performance and image quality but I'll need some additional storage space, since optimized media is roughly 60 GB per hour of material. If I select Create proxy media then Final Cut is going to convert the media from its native format into ProRes 422 proxy. Now this option improves system performance significantly and still provides a pretty good image quality and requires less storage space than regular old ProRes 422 at roughly 18 GB per hour of material, so about a third of the space.
And of course if they leave these boxes unchecked than my media is imported in its native format, this generally gives you the most saving and storage space but could cause some performance issues for slower systems. And moving down to Video options just really briefly this Remove pulldown check box. We won't have the opportunity to go into what a pulldown removal really is but essentially if you check this box Final Cut analyzes video clips and removes pulldown patterns. This option is only available when importing from a tape-based camera or device and should really only be used in very specific workflows when your original footage was shot on film or shot with a camera with a 24p advance setting.
Bottom line, most of the time you leave this box unchecked or it's simply uncheckable as it is now. And then below that we have already touched on the Analyze for balance color option, if you check this on Import then Final Cut is going to go through each clip to get a sense of any color balance problems. It's not going to fix the problem immediately, but it's going to offer an immediate suggestion for a correction if you choose to click the balance button in the Inspector. Now below that we have Find people. Find people is going to employ facial recognition technology or Final Cut is going to try to analyze your video to determine if there are any human faces in the frame.
After Final Cut finishes the analysis the shots are key worded with labels such as one person, two people, group, close- up shot, medium shot, and wide shot. It doesn't always work so you'll need to go through and make sure it did the analysis correctly, but I have to say it does a pretty decent job. Again, you can choose to create smart collections after analysis which will appear in your Event Library. Now below that are some Audio analysis options many of which we have covered briefly. Analyze and fix audio problems will analyze any issue regarding audio levels, background noise or hum.
And again will give you the option to check buttons within the Inspector to perform immediate corrections which you can then tweak further. Then take a look at the bottom two options Separate mono and group stereo audio and Remove silent channels. Now neither of these options is actually destructive. It's not actually stripping media. They are simply arranging how the audio channels are configured within the Inspector. The first option actually analyzes each audio channel's waveform, and if they don't match each other then Final Cut makes them dual mono.
If they do match then Final Cut will configure them to be a stereo pair. The second option will simply mute any channel that contains no sound. So that's the Import window. A lot of options, and I didn't necessarily want to go into all of them at the beginning of the course before you had a chance to get your feet wet with editing. But as you can see, there are quite a few useful selections that you can make in order to get your media into the Event Library exactly how you want it.
NOTE: This course and its exercise files are not compatible with Final Cut Pro X v. 10.1 or later. If you are running v. 10.1 or later, please watch Final Cut Pro X 10.1.1 Essential Training instead.

People Hot List - Which Stars Have the Most Buzz?
The Hot List shows the most buzzed about celebs of the moment as measured by reader activity on People.com
Jarnette Olsen takes her newborn girls to audition for an ABC sitcom, Full House, at Lorimar Studios in Culver City, Calif., and they beat out nine other sets of twins. "They were more open to strangers," Full House executive producer Jeff Franklin told the Washington Post. "They were smiling all the time." When Full House debuts in Sept. 1987, the twins share the role of Michelle Tanner and earn $2,400 each per episode.
The Olsen family hires entertainment industry attorney Robert Thorne to negotiate the twins' salary up from $4,000 per episode to $25,000 and then to $80,000 by the end of the show. Thorne becomes the CEO of the twins' Dualstar Entertainment Group in 1993 and helps guide the enterprise into a billion-dollar company.
The 6-year-old twins record their first album, Brother for Sale, the release of which launches the Olsen phenomenon. ''I like the song called 'I Want to Trade My Brother,''' Mary-Kate tells PEOPLE. ''Yeah,'' Ashley agrees with a giggle. ''When we were rehearsing it, our brother Trent said, 'I hate that song!'''

Ryan Middagh wasn't looking to John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderly or Miles Davis for inspiration to write the tunes that he'll play for his doctorate recital for the University of Northern Colorado.
He was having a beer.
Middagh likes beer. He's a home brewer. So he looked to the best brews in Colorado to not only name his jazz compositions but write for them. There's the "Lips of Faith," a gospel tune named after New Belgium's line. There's "Chunkin' Pumpkin," a funk tune after the Crabtree's seasonal brew. And there's the "Oskar Blues," which is pretty self-explanatory.
But it's not just Middagh's music that has UNC buzzing about Wednesday's recital. It's the guests: Jeff Coffin, who plays tenor saxophone for the Dave Matthews Band, and Tom Giampietro, who plays drums for Coffin's Mu'tet.
Middagh raised $3,500 through a Kickstarter campaign and got a $2,000 grant from the Community Foundation Arts Alive! fund. Even so, he knows those two are giving him a serious break to play. So how did he get them to come? As it turns out, he's worked with them before.
Middagh grew up in Iowa and developed a love for music on his parents' out-of-tune piano before falling in love with woodwinds and the saxophone. He went to the University of Northern Iowa to become the best band director in the country. He followed the advice of others, who told him he would need to learn skills such as arranging and writing music. He went back to college to get his master's degree to learn — only when he did start writing, he was better at it than he thought, and that opened up some possibilities, including one from Giampietro, who Middagh met a decade ago when he was a freshman at Northern Iowa.
"He's seen me come from not having a clue to having a bit more of a clue," Middagh said.
They also kept in touch, and as Middagh gained some ground as an arranger in Nashville, Giampietro recommended him to Coffin, who was looking for an arranger. Middagh now arranges charts for Coffin to play with high school and college bands during one of his many jazz education gigs. Coffin, you may remember, was in that role a couple years ago as a guest artist at the UNC/Greeley Jazz Festival.
As Middagh was writing the tunes for his recital, he had Coffin in mind for a couple of them. Middagh considers Coffin an influence as much as Cannonball Adderly or Donny McCaslin, a tenor who played with Coffin at the UNC jazz festival.
"And I thought, 'You know who would sound great on this? Jeff Coffin,' " Middagh said.
Middagh decided to ask, just so Coffin could say no, but Coffin and Giampietro both had open schedules that weekend and said yes. It was a perfect storm, Middagh said, and pardon the analogy given superstorm Sandy. He's just really excited about it.
Middagh will play with both musicians and a host of other UNC students in a free, open performance on Wednesday, and both will give clinics the day before. He will record his tunes with them the next day and then they will fly out the day after.
He's excited about the gig, though he still needs to finish one of the eight tunes. He's busy as a teacher, arranger and student. If the gig goes well and he gets his doctorate, he hopes to be a director of jazz studies one day, similar to what Dana Landry does at the UNC. He also hopes to stay in Greeley, at least for a bit, and start a big band here.
In the meantime, he'll continue to brew beer and enjoy it with his music, on the quest for constant inspiration.
"Beer and music are natural partners," he said.

YORK, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Friends and coworkers of a woman killed in Thursdays shootings in Greenland, New Hampshire are holding a vigil Sunday in her memory.
The New Hampshire Attorney General's office confirmed yesterday that the woman is 26 year old Brittany Tibbetts from South Berwick, Maine.
Brittany's family describes her as a caring person, a great singer, and a star athlete. She was the Gatorade Softball a player of the year in high school, and aspired to own her own hair salon one day.
This vigil was organized by her former coworkers from Hair Excitement in Newington New Hampshire, where Tibbetts worked for five years. Tibbetts cousin says he hopes this vigil helps the public to understand that Chief Maloney was not the only victim in this shooting.
"Obviously he's still in our hearts and prayers," explained Aaron Whittier, Tibbetts' cousin, "We just want to get the word out that she was a victim also. She was murdered just like he was, and that's what's important to us."
On Saturday, the New Hampshire Attorney General's office released the results of an autopsy on Tibbetts which confirmed that her death was a homicide.

OUJÉ-BOUGOUMOU, January 28, 2011 - The Cree Native Arts & Crafts Association (CNACA) announces today that the 2011 Juno Awards have nominated the Cree duo "CerAmony". They are Pakesso Mukash from Whapmagoostui and Matthew Iserhoff from Mistissini. They are nominated in the "Aboriginal Album of the Year" category.
CerAmony already has an award from the Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards in the Best Song Writer(s) category. This award was given to an individual(s) based on a body of work (at least three songs) English, French or Aboriginal language.
A few years ago CerAmony promised a sold out crowd at Job's Memorial Gardens in Chisasibi that they would be the first to hear the album when it was done. They kept that promise and launched their CD in March to a fantastic reception. For more information or to purchase their debut album, please check out their website at www.ceramony.ca
The Cree Native Arts & Crafts Association is very proud of these two talented Cree individuals who have never given up on their dreams and their dedication to their music. It demonstrates once again that when someone puts their heart and mind to something, great things can happen.
The awards will be presented at the 40th annual Canadian Juno Awards Awards show on Sunday, March 27, 2011, in Toronto, Ontario.

One of the perks of having it rain buckets on Globes Day is that we got so many pictures of celebrity dudes holding umbrellas for celebrity ladies:
Obviously, nothing will top the charm of this photo, but Stephen Moyer does look like he's amused by this turn of events. I have to say, the rain was almost a PR blessing in a weird way for a lot of these people. It was sort of like a global Stars: They're Just Like Us, in that half of them showed up looking a wee bit damp and slightly the worse for wear. Not in an unattractive way, just in a way where they all looked sort of human, which is appealing. (Did you hear that, Heidi Montag? LOOKING HUMAN IS APPEALING.)
Also a curious fashion choice from A. Paq:

SANDPOINT, Idaho (AP) - Five teen-age boys who spent Saturday night lost on a northern Idaho ski resort that was raked by a snowstorm were safe Sunday after three found their way home and two were spotted by snowmobilers.
"There wasn't much to do but keep yourself huddled together," said 15-year-old Aaron Baudry-Peterson, among the three boys who found their way home. "You just sat there and you didn't get any sleep. So I sat there and I prayed all night long."
The two boys who were found by snowmobilers - Canadian brothers A.J. Kolla, 13, and his 15-year-old brother, Mike - were in good condition Sunday afternoon at Schweitzer Mountain ski resort.
"The younger boy possibly has frostbitten hands," a searcher said.
On Saturday, wind gusts of up to 50 mph combined with 18 inches of snow to create extreme avalanche danger and snow drifts up to 10 feet. Temperatures at the base of the resort dipped to 23 degrees.
The group of three boys - all 15 and part of a separate skiing party from the Canadian brothers - trekked through waist-deep snow to get to safety Sunday morning.
The three boys, who had been on an outing with a church group from Spokane, Wash., about 70 miles southwest of Sandpoint, said they had been snowboarding and had not seen out-of-bound signs. They spent the night inside a snow cave they had built as refuge against the overnight storm and started walking downhill around dawn.
They said they followed train whistles to find the base of the mountain and eventually reached the home of Bill Findley, a member of the sheriff's search and rescue team who was home sick.
"They were soaked clear through and shaking," Findley said. "Their hands were pure white."
Bonner County sheriff's Cpl. Bob Howard said the boys were suffering from frostbite and one was "pretty ill." They were taken to a hospital in Sandpoint for treatment and released.
The Schweitzer resort has more than 2,400 acres of ski runs and is located in the Selkirk Mountains. The peaks near the resort exceed 6,000 feet.
