Bell & Ross to participate in MEBA 2014Pursuing its expansion in the Middle East market and after a successful presence at last year's Dubai Air Show, Bell & Ross, the reference in aeronautical watches, is pleased to be a part of the sixth edition of the Middle East Business Aviation (MEBA) exhibition.
Attracting new participants from all over the world, MEBA is taking place at Dubai World Central (DWC) from December 8th-10th 2014 and for the first time, the luxury watch brand will join in this next major event on international business aviation's calendar.
2012 saw the largest number of people attending in its 5 year history with an increase of attendees from the Indian Subcontinent and North Africa, while this year's biennial show will have 50 aircrafts on static display, more than 400 exhibitors and is expected to draw more than 8,000 visitors.
As the only show in the region dedicated to private aviation, Bell & Ross naturally participates in this major event, according to its origins and its first inspiration: the aeronautic. It is an opportunity for guests to discover some of the most exclusive watch models of the brand such as the Vintage BR126 Sport Heritage GMT & Flyback, a tribute to the civil aviation of the 1960's or the new BR-X1 that recalls the NASA's experimental projects and the first rocket plane to break the sound barrier in 1947, the Bell X-1. An inventive, high-tech watch, with haute-horlogerie finishes and extreme lightness thanks to its rare skeleton chronograph movement and a combination of materials.
In addition to the main exhibition, the event will feature all the latest business jets on the market, as well as a conference focusing on the latest trends and issues in business aviation.

This unit, featuring the silhouette of the great bird on its flanks since 1914, entered into the legend thanks to the courage and achievements of its pilots.
The Hotel National des Invalides, an emblematic military site full of history, was the perfect venue for this memorable night which also marked the beginning of the exhibition "View from the Front", presented during General Baptiste's welcome speech to Carlos Rosillo. Bell & Ross is pleased to be a partner and sponsor of this exhibition that commemorates the Great War.
More than 700 guests enjoyed this special moment and discovered in avant-premiere the exhibition before projecting themselves into the future with the BR-X1.

Bell & Ross partner of National World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial"To be an international partner and resource for commemoration of the history, policy and humanity of World War I."
Centennial Mission Statement, National World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial
Bell & Ross is pleased to announce that it has partnered with TIVOL in creating a special watch display at the National World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial, in Kansas City, MO. Debuting on August 18th, the exhibit will showcase the brand's Vintage military inspired timepieces and is being held in commemoration of the Great War's 100th year anniversary.
Soon after the war ended in 1919, the citizens of Kansas raised over $2.5 million in funds (the equivalent of $34 million today) in just ten days, reflecting the strong public sentiment toward the conflict that changed the course of history. Two years later in 1921, over 100,000 people gathered to witness the supreme Allied commanders make a formal dedication to the site of the Liberty Memorial. This was the first time in history the five leaders were gathered together in one place. In 2004, the Museum was designated by Congress as the nation's official World War I Museum, beginning construction on a new 80,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art facility that also houses the Edward Jones Research Center underneath the Liberty Memorial. Since its opening in 2006, the National World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial has had over a million visitors including President Barack Obama, former Vice President Dick Cheney, Senator John McCain and the country's last surviving WWI veteran Frank Buckles.
Today, the Museum is dedicated to honoring those who served in the Great War by keeping its history alive. Exhibitions and educational programs geared toward a diverse audience enrich the museum's mission in keeping the public involved through thought and dialogue. In addition to maintaining the Liberty Memorial as a symbol of freedom and courage, the Museum is also dedicated to the collection and preservation of historical materials from World War I, holding the most diverse collection of objects and documents in the world. It is the second-oldest public institution dedicated to the history and personal experiences of the war. Between now and 2018, the museum will be offering a host of programs and special exhibitions marking the 100th anniversary of the first global conflict in human history and its effects on the world today.
Bell & Ross is proud to collaborate with TIVOL in exhibiting its Vintage watch collection on occasion of the Great War's centennial anniversary. The museum's historical narrative will be the perfect backdrop for displaying the brand's collection of military-inspired timepieces. Beginning with the PW1, a nod to the pocket watch worn by French soldiers during the Great War, the brand developed its WW1 collection that traces back to the wristwatches tested by pilots in the late teens and early twenties. These watches carry Swiss movements fitted in large fob-watch type cases. The horns replicate the original wire
handles that were originally soldered to the case, evoking the design of the first wristwatches. Bell & Ross has remained historically true in every attention to detail, including fitting the watches with grooved crowns similar to those pilots of the era could easily turn while wearing gloves, and adding domed crystals for an overall vintage effect. The watches come with a variety of complications from which to choose: Grande Date, Reserve de Marche to the ultimate efficient function for any aviator of the day, the Monopoussoir Chronograph. This exhibition of historically inspired watches from the Great War will be enhanced with other Bell & Ross aviation watches, including the iconic Bell & Ross BR 01 models.
For more than a century TIVOL has been Kansas City's premier jeweler, providing its customers with luxury timepieces and jewelry and exceptional service. Founded in 1910 in downtown Kansas City by immigrant Charles Tivol, the retailer today boasts two locations, in Country Club Plaza in Kansas City and Hawthorne Plaza in Overland Park, KS. The four-generation family-run business has become an institution and is today home to Bell & Ross watches in the area.
A percentage of the proceeds from the sale of Bell & Ross timepieces will be donated to the National World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial.

Bell & Ross creates a limited edition of 100 pieces exclusively reserved for ALPA-S.First started in the early 1960s, the Air Line Pilots Association - Singapore (ALPA-S) is the professional body representing the pilot profession in Singapore. It is a member of the International Federation of Air Line Pilots Association.
Its primary mission is to enhance aviation safety and to promote the highest standard of professionalism and technical competence among its members. This is to ensure that the general public, who entrust their lives with us, are assured of the highest level of air safety when they travel in airliners operated by their members. It also strives to develop, support and enhance the integrity, status and interests of the airline pilot profession in Singapore.
Having decided to create a watch bearing their insignia and embodying their values of cohesion and professionalism, the ALPA-S naturally approached Bell & Ross to produce a special edition.

B-Rocket全球巡回:拉斯维加斯Couture Show首站Bell & Ross rockets to Couture Las Vegas, debuting the new B-Rocket at an exclusive soirée held at the Wynn Las Vegas. The invitation-only event included top-notch watch aficionados, retailers and members of the press. Guests were treated to music, cocktails, cigars and American fare, and delighted in the surprise appearance of an actual Rocket Man.
The brand has teamed for a second time with British company Shaw Harley Davidson to design a sleek concept bike evoking the modernity of the 1960s. That decade saw many firsts in innovation, performance and precision, with speed bikes breaking records in Nevada and Utah's deserted lakebeds. These tests spearheaded aeronautic technology that would eventually land us on the moon. Inspired by the first jet airplanes of the era, the B-Rocket's retro style captures the essential principles of aerodynamics with its rocket nose and sleek design. These concepts have been translated to Bell & Ross's newest models, the BR 01 and BR 03 B-Rocket.
The BR 01 B-Rocket harnesses that need for speed with its chronograph and tachymeter scale, measuring performance time in 60-second, 30-minute and 12-hour indicators. The graphic display evokes those used in experimental vehicle testing indicators, with the power reserve indicator reminiscent of fuel gauge in racing vehicles. For smaller wrists, the BR 03 B-Rocket may have simpler functions with hours, minutes, seconds, date and power reserve indicator, but it maintains the same design values with its satin-brushed steel case, guilloché finish and padded leather strap edged with red.
These two new timepieces, together with the B-Rocket motorcycle were all the rage in the Couture show, as Nevada was home to some of the most daring speed tests ever conducted. It was only fitting that their U.S. debut took place under the desert sky in Vegas.

BR 01 B-Rocket腕表是卓越车手时计。46毫米的大表盘与赛车手气势相呼应。使得它能鹤立鸡群的是其卓越计时功能。作为速度掌控者,腕表装配超大分钟刻度盘。表盘边缘的测速刻度,准确捕捉短时数据,使得读时更加便捷快速。腕表同时配有60秒、30分钟及12小时三个计时器。为实用性考虑,计时系统由醒目红色按钮操控。位于3点处的60秒计时器的黑白相间,重现当年试验飞车仪表的风采。
BR 03 B-Rocket腕表将大日历及动力储备显示功能融入42毫米磨砂不锈钢表壳内。表盘上方镂空位置透视两个日历数字盘的运作,将机械美感尽情展示。6点处位置圆形的动力储备显示,形如摩托车或赛车的油表。
BR 01与 BR 03 B-Rocket做工精致,将机车元素带到腕上。无论是色彩还是材质都处理的一丝不苟: 红与黑的搭配,精钢和竖格皮质的选取既是见证。

空军首领Denis Mercier将军与众多部队首领一起出席了活动。
为此,一场盛大的晚宴在机场举行。会场周围环绕着被技师们精心装饰的飞机,这些装饰符号象征着这支强大部队的辉煌历史。在六十年代,鲨鱼嘴的标志就在最早的F-100 super Sabre战机上出现。 晚会结束之际举行的抽奖活动上,一名幸运士兵获得了一枚BR 03 Aviation腕表。
一九三九年八月二十七日,由SPA 69 (猫头标志)和SPA 88 (蛇标)组成的I/3部队在Velaine-en-Haye(Lorraine)基地驻扎。 一九四零年一月 ,它演变成Dewoitine 520分队。在法国战争时期,纳粹德国空军轰炸法国的空军基地期间,部队获得了52次战胜。
飞行员们自一九四四年开始在科西嘉战斗,之后又参加了意大利解放运动。他们途径法国罗纳河谷,最终到达德国。 在德国投降期间,11/3分队获得了108次胜利和190次提名。它紧接着获得了在解放l'Ile De Beauté科西嘉岛的过程中获得了 "Corse"的称号。
一九六六年二月二十八日,"Corse"部队解散,但是之后又在现在用的名字"科西嘉3/11大队"下重新成立。 它当时驻扎在德意志共和国的Bremgarten。
部队接下来参加了非洲多国的解放运动 : 塞内加尔、加蓬、吉布提、多哥和尼日尔。
今天, 这是唯一一个用两种航天机器来实现截然相反的任务的部队。首先,四架Mirage 2000-5F幻影战机专门针对空中任务。它们由拥有27架同类飞机的1/2 Cigognes战队提供。 此外,战队还有三架Mirage 2000D地面战机,它们用于实现地面轰炸任务。

It's Back…
I told you the story yesterday, but I gotta tell it to you again.
It's always something …
"My calf feels great," third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff told Black Monday afternoon, "but I tweaked my back."
Kouzmanoff, who was hoping to be able to return to the lineup Tuesday with a sufficiently recovered strain of his left calf, was more embarrassed than pained to report his latest injury. Evidently, he hurt himself when going back to sit in the chair in front of his locker at PNC Park, but the chair wasn't there and he went straight to the floor on his backside.
Black said he thinks the tweaked back is not serious enough to keep Kouzmanoff from playing in Colorado.
Poor Kouz. He was just getting excited about coming back after the calf injury, and then his back acted up again. I know, it's a terribly cheesy title, but it's true. His back problem is back. And that's not good news at all.
He was supposed to be back in the lineup last night. Now it looks like he won't be able to play in this series at all!! Well, at least he's got a lot of family in that area that he can spend time with, but I know it's disappointing that he can't be playing.
I'm going to the game next week against the Dodgers, and I really hope he'll be ready to play by then. Just be ready by Tuesday, Kouz. Even if you don't get to play in Colorado or Arizona. Make sure you can play in front of the home crowd next week!!
I wasn't going to blog about last night's game, but after watching some of the video I just have to. Last night, the Rockies got a two-run inside the park home run by Clint Barmes. When I saw it fold out on Gameday, I knew that one of our players had to be hurt for something like that to happen. Sure enough, Will Venable replaced Edgar Gonzalez in right field.
Edgar had done very well in the game up to that point. He had two hits and drove in three runs. He also scored a run. When the ball hit by Barmes was coming towards him, he dived for it and just missed. When he landed, his dislocated his left shoulder. He rolled around on the ground in obvious pain and the baseball stayed in the right field corner. Tony Gwynn ran over to get it back to the infield, but by the tim he got to the ball, Barmes had already scored. I can't blame Barmes for being excited about that, but he got it at the expense of a player's season. There's no way that Edgar is going to play again this season. So, I think it was bad class for the Rockies to show Barmes, smiling like crazy, in the dugout. I didn't like that at all. Oh, and the Rockies announcers couldn't even get Edgar's name right! They called him Luis.
Adrian and Eck and Buddy and the trainer all went out to Edgar. The trainer helped him off the field, but Edgar was in a ton of pain. It was so terrible to watch!!
Now let me tell you the sad story of Edgar's misfortunes against the Rockies. First of all, he got hit in the head by a Rockies pitcher on July 18th. He could have died! Thankfully, he was OK, but he missed a lot of playing time. Then, he faces the Rockies again. He hit a three-run double against them, and then in that very same game, he dislocates his shoulder and ends his season. Bad form, Colorado. (I know Colorado couldn't control what happened last night, but we've got to blame it on someone, right? Plus, all this seems a little fishy. What did Edgar ever do to you guys?)
Strange, miserable things always happen when the Padres and Rockies meet, especially at Coors Field. I'm getting kind of apprehensive about letting the boys play there. Players get hurt, playoff hopes are ruined, it's 40 degrees and rains, and the scores often go out of control. Playing at Coors is too stressful!!
By the way, we lost 11-10 last night. We got four runs in the top of the ninth and left the tying and winning runs on. It was not good, but at least we were able to fight back. Very strange game. The Rockies scored in every inning except the sixth. But, I guess that's Coors.
I really hope tonight's game is not as stressing as last night. Like, the Padres get 10 runs in the first and keep adding on through the game. Tim Stauffer is pitching tonight. GO STAUFF!!
Be careful in that strange Coors Field, boys.

I watched that play as it happened. Kinda weird. He didn't seem to land that poorly.. but.. he just laid there and didn't budge. Barmes scampered all the way around. I'm hoping Edgar's ok.
Sounds very stressful, Kaybee. I wouldn't let my team play at Coors Field after what you described! And I'm sorry to hear about Kouz. I hope you get to see him play next week.
Kaybee – you're going to see the Padres on Tuesday? I going to see the Red Sox that night!
Is weird how the players hurt themselves doing some normal things. I am trying to remember what happen to a player in Colorado going up the stairs. Oh well, like you said, anything can happen there and those temperatures are crazy. Last year when I went in April, it had snowed the night before. my one luggage did not arrive until the following day so I froze there. I kept drinking hot chocolate.

What's with the gap tooth? New trend or something? Pretty cool, it'll ease a lot of kids into paintball which is good. At the moment most kids are afraid of paintball because it hurts, however this'll ease the pain a lot. Also the announcer said "bullets".

I watched it, good for the kids. And I'm thinking about picking one up so then I could play with my friends in the backyard or something.

The new splatmasters are a fantastic thing for the sport. Now we have something to recommend to parents who don't want their children getting covered in painful welts. Maybe now that airsoft section at the local wal-mart will give a little ground to paintball.
Posted 05 November 2012 - 01:16 PM
I was very happy to hear that the Boy Scouts had a Spatmaster event at a recent Boy Scout camp in Fort Knox. Traditionally, the Boy Scouts do not approve of paintball. I hope with the Splatmasters, they will start to change their mind. Most of my son's troops plays. It would be an awesome merit badge to get if they had one.
Will play for beer!
Posted 05 November 2012 - 11:34 PM
I am 100% behind the splatmaster as a way to bring younger players into the sport, think its a great idea for fields to have a a supply of these for a "beginner" party. sadly my local field has decided to go with airsoft at the moment, but as a concept i think its a great idea.

MBA in Media Management
Strategize in London, network in Paris.
International Practicum Course
The MBA programs at MCNY have an international field study experience in their curricula and the experience is an inherent part of these curricula. This action-oriented experience is tailored to ensure that students have the opportunity to work collaboratively in a pan-cultural environment in which they are exposed to new cultures and given the opportunity to explore them. Students enrolled in the MBA programs (Media Management, Financial Services or General Management) will participate in the trip based on their credits completed and academic progress.
The programs' goal is to immerse students in the global business environment and students participation are required as this is necessary to develop and apply the skills required to work effectively in the global economy. As part of the required international practicum course, students will be afforded the opportunity to work in a consultative capacity with an operating enterprise to address one or more existing business challenges. Specifically, the goals of this program are three-fold:
Students will be working in teams and team members will be determined by course instructor(s) and Program Director. Teams will be assigned in Marketing, Finance, Management & Change, Planning, Management Information Systems, and Legal and Regulatory. There may be more than one team in specific areas. At the end of the course, students will be responsible for presenting two documents; one is a comprehensive written report with all of the information detailed in the project, as well as a summary report that reflects the major elements of their findings. Additionally, work from the trip is also included in the students' final project, constructive action.
There are two trips per year; students can only participate in one of them, and that is determined by their standing in the program. The trip is 10 days long. Prior trips have gone to Zurich, Switzerland, London, England, Frankfurt, Germany and Paris, France. The College may change the dates and location of the trip at its discretion. If the College is forced to cancel the trip because of extenuating circumstances, an alternate assignment will be provided for credit.
To effectively fulfill the academic requirements of the study abroad program, the business degree programs has partner with Language Study International (LSI), Berenberg Bank, Deutsche Bank, Ogilvy & Mather, AHK, Helab Landesbank, The CityUK, Soho Artists, Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, Regents College London, etc. to assist in the delivery of academic and non academic content.

Sherwood Shelter Hours
Tues-Fri 12 - 7 pm
Sat-Sun 12 - 6 pm
Closed Monday
Directions »
Does your organization foster? Become a Fostering 4 Rock Stars shelter.
Each year, 100 or more foster families give nearly 1,000 cats and kittens a safe, caring temporary home. In foster, there's socialization for young kittens, space for mother cats to raise their young, and time for sick or injured cats to heal. Without these foster homes, many of these cats and kittens would not survive. Foster homes also free up space within the shelter, which means more lives are saved!
If you are interested in becoming a foster volunteer, you must first attend a Volunteer Orientation. Please check our event calendar for Volunteer Orientation dates and times.

Studio Art
What is the Studio Art Specialization?
In the Studio Art Specialization you can work in a variety of traditional and non-traditional 2 & 3-dimensional visual arts media including painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpture, collage, book arts, digital imaging and mixed media. Two degree options are available for students specializing in Studio Art.
The Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) in Art, a 60 credit major, is respected as the professional degree for studio art. The Art program provides you with a strong foundation program in studio art and art history. You will have the opportunity to develop your creativity, self-expression, and technical skills.
The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Art, a 39 credit major, is a second degree option for studio Art majors and is typically selected by students who are double majoring, have changed majors, or have transferred into the program. An example is students who want to study Art Therapy in graduate school often choose to double major in Art and Psychology.
A significant component to the Studio Art specialization is participation in the Senior Exhibition. Working closely with the Fine Arts faculty, you will create a cohesive body of work to be displayed in the Senior Exhibition in the Andy Gato Gallery. The exhibition reception takes place the evening before graduation so that you can celebrate your success with your family and friends.
What facilities are available to you?
In addition to small class sizes, a committed faculty, and personalized attention, the Art facilities include: a multipurpose 2-D studio for painting, drawing, design and collage; two state-of-the-art Macintosh labs configured with the newest versions of Adobe creative software and an array of both large and small format printers; a sculpture studio, a ceramics studio, photography studios, an art history classroom, and our beautiful new Andy Gato Gallery.
What can you do with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art with a Specialization in Studio Art?
The Art program prepares you for your future life as a professional artist and for advanced study at the graduate level. We measure the success of our program by the achievements of our graduates. Graduates of the Art program have secured employment as studio artists, in commercial art galleries, in museums, and in teaching at all levels at institutions such as: Dade and Broward County public schools, Miami Dade College, Broward College, Florida Atlantic University, The Kohler Arts Foundation and The Wolfsonian Museum.
Our graduates have pursued advanced training in diverse graduate degree programs including studio art, art history, art therapy, art education, industrial design, business, dentistry, and theology at schools including Florida Atlantic University, Florida International University, Kansas State University, Pratt, Savannah College of Art and Design, and the University of Southern California.

"We miss Karen terribly," said Kevin Callahan, whose girlfriend Karen Ertell was strangled and raped in her home in 2010.
"She was too pure for this cold earth," Kaiya Kapahu's mother during a domestic violence march three years ago.
"My sister was a beautiful woman who lived life to its fullest," said Janel Tupola's sister at her 2008 funeral.
They are the victims of violence, and they are but a few of many in Hawaii.
"Today is about the millions of women, the victims of domestic abuse, and sexual assault who are out there right now looking for a lifeline, looking for support," said President Barack Obama.
On Thursday, Obama reauthorized the Violence Against Women Act, continuing and expanding assistance, such as a national hotline, a network of shelters, protection orders carrying across state lines, and adding services to protect immigrants and gays.
"In spite of the victories along the way, we can never be complacent because there is still a lot of suffering," said Nanci Kreidman, director for the Domestic Violence Clearinghouse in Hawaii.
The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence reports 1.3 million women will be attacked by a partner, one in four will be domestically abused, and one in six will be raped.
"I was locked in my house for two weeks, beaten and raped multiple times throughout the day," said a girl who used the name DeeDee.
"We're one of the worst in the nation. Sex trafficking is a huge problem for Hawaii," said Kathryn Xian, executive director for the Pacific Alliance to Stop Slavery.
DeeDee said she was only 16 when a family member turned her into a sex slave.
The renewed law also keeps children from being prosecuted for prostitution.
Xian said it is a big plus to the new law, but was troubled by big cuts to the U.S State Department which handles human trafficking.
"We don't know how many services, or which services, and to what degree, but it will be a punch in the face," she said.
"I just want the girls out there to know and everybody else out there to know this needs to be stopped," said DeeDee.
"There is a lot to be done," said Kriedman.
Xian said local advocates are working on a state provision that categorizes child prostitutes as victims, not criminals, but said it's been a tough battle.
There are also three bills that are still alive at the Legislature, including making it a Class-C Felony to solicit a minor and prohibiting those who patronize underage prostitutes from getting out of jail in less than six months.

I wanted to share with all you moms with 7-8-9 month olds not nursing well.
I had the same issue with my 8 1/2 month old DS and have made it through 2 nursing strikes in the past 6 weeks (horrible stuff!) where I had to supplement. I tried EVERYTHING to get him back to boobie, with no success.
By pure dumb luck, on Monday this past week, I found that if I brought his teddy bear that he sleeps with, with us to the nursing chair, he would actually latch on long enough for me to let-down (I have slow let-downs that take up to 2 minutes to happen). So long as his bear is right on top of his face and he is stroking its paw, he will nurse. The minute his bear falls on the ground or gets knocked off him, he stops nursing and freaks out. As soon as bear is back on him, he latches on with abandon and nurses until he falls asleep, something we haven't shared for at least 2 months.
I hope that helps other moms out there! Try giving your baby his/her "lovey" while nursing and see if that helps! I tried nursing necklaces, clicking my tongue, singing, dark rooms, white noise, skin-to-skin, bathtime nursing, nap-nursing (yeah, right), hanging over him on all fours with breasts hanging down like a cow, and many other tricks. This is the ONLY thing that has worked for us in weeks and weeks. And he has now been nursing well for a week, getting hardly any supplementation (we've gone from 5-6 bottles of formula a day to ALL breastfeeding again and maybe 3 oz formula a day!!!!), and I think my supply has finally started to get back on track. He's 8 1/2 month old.
Hope this helps someone else! Try a "lovey!"
Good luck!

Franco justified on WPIAL concerns
I know that Neil Rudel seems to disagree with John Franco's desire for Altoona to pull out of the WPIAL and play more of a District 6 schedule, and the debate seems to be on.
Personally, if I were a taxpayer in the Altoona Area School District, I think I'd listen long and hard to Franco's opinion.
I don't know him or the Altoona athletic director, Phil Riccio, personally, but I have read a lot over the years, in the Altoona Mirror, about Franco's first departure from Altoona, his years and years of success at Tyrone and then his return to Altoona.
Given that scenario, I'd be inclined to listen closely to what Franco thinks might be best for the Altoona High football team.
Some of the recent articles I've read seem to imply that attendance and interest for the Altoona football program have been down in recent years, which was quite astonishing news to me as that wasn't the way I always remembered Altoona football, albeit years ago.
I think Franco is trying to restore that tradition and probably has the best plan to make it happen. I personally believe that there are other big-time schools that have been mentioned in recent articles that would love nothing more than the opportunity to land Franco as their head coach.
I don't think Franco will make a willy-nilly decision about leaving Altoona based on his loyalty to Tyrone over the years and considering he could have taken other jobs and didn't. He stayed the course there and put the school, the town and the athletes on the map throughout the state.

ESPN's information overload
Am I the only one that is bothered by the endless stream of completely useless dribble that pours out of our collective radios and TV sets every day from our favorite sports information sources, with ESPN leading the charge?
I learned this morning that the Seattle Mariners tying the game last night with a grand slam in the ninth inning was the first since occurrence since 1961.
In the NBA Finals, whoever loses the first game only has a 26 percent chance of winning the title.
If the same team wins the next two, they now have a 63.3 percent chance to garner the trophy. In the NFL, any team starting 0-2 should really mail in the rest of the season, as they only make the playoffs 21 percent of the time. You don't want to know the fate given to an 0-3 club.
The Elias Sports Bureau with their gang of wire-rimmed researchers, along with the infinite capabilities of the Internet, are really to blame.
I miss the days when I hear the Pirates beat the Cubs 5-2 along with who homered and the winning pitcher. What I get is the Pirates' victory was their first on a Tuesday, when the wind was blowing in from right field at Wrigley with less than 30,000 in attendance and the temperature below 70 degrees.
The Pirates are something like 9-48 against the Milwaukee Brewers in Milwaukee. The Grizzlies were 0-17 on the road against the Atlanta Hawks before the playoffs started.
These type of stats are totally ridiculous.
The team name on the jerseys holds these records. The current band of players on these teams shouldn't be tied to these records, good or bad. Saying the Lakers have won 15 consecutive playoff series against the Houston Rockets since 1952 shouldn't be an indictment against those donning the sneakers on today's team. It's crazy.
So the next time you hear that the Penguins win 65 percent of the time when Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin score a point and 9 percent when they don't, just take a deep breath and realize that these number crunchers need jobs too.
I have to go now: My performance at work shows a 28.3 percent improvement rate if I make it to the office by 7:30 – and only if I catch two consecutive lights on a morning following a full moon.

North Central College sophomore Lina Baker is a hammer thrower.
When the Prairie Ridge graduate meets new people, though, they're not so sure the 5-foot-5, 125-pound Baker tosses a shot put attached to a metal cable.
"I've had to convince some people," said Baker, who often is told she should be a multi-event competitor such as a pentathlete. "They say I don't look like a thrower. … I was talking to our university president (Troy D. Hammond) and he asked what sport I did. I told him that I was a hammer thrower, and he said, 'You'd be a good multi.' "
Although Baker's stature may not be convincing, her results this season have been.
On Tuesday, she was named the NCAA Division III College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin's Field Event Athlete of the Week after winning the event with a throw of 150 feet, 10 inches April 12 at the Wheaton College Quad meet.
Baker's winning effort was two inches shy of her career-best 151-0 throw a week earlier in the Chicagoland Championships at Lewis University, which set a school record.
She owns the top throw this season in the CCIW and ranks 35th in the nation in the event.
As a high school senior, Baker was convinced that she would be a pole vaulter.
"I picked that up pretty quickly," she said. "When I came here, I said I wanted to do pole vault."
North Central coaches steered her toward the hammer instead.
A new coach on staff this season, Sean Denard, has fueled Baker's passion for the event.
"He never threw the hammer," she said of Denard, a nine-time national qualifier at D-III Mount Union College in Ohio in the shot put and discus. "But he has put in hours watching videos. He's sent emails to top hammer throwers asking for tips. … I'm very appreciative. I tell him, 'You're the best.' "
While Baker credits the coaching staff for her success, she also admits she has put in plenty of her own time.
With any new event, "you've got to spend the time on it," she said. "That's a really big thing."
Baker said she picked up the event fairly quickly last season and finished 10th in the CCIW outdoor meet.
"I always knew I was a hard worker," she said. "I'll bust my butt for things. …I've spent hours and weeks just on turns."
Baker said she also feels more physically prepared this season thanks to Denard's grueling, personally designed workouts.
"He trains you in peaks and valleys," said Baker, who did not want to discuss specifics of Denard's workouts. "It really tests you."
Baker hopes her distances continue to climb so that she can qualify for next month's national meet in LaCrosse, Wis.
"I've thrown 155 (feet) in practice, and that was on a day when I was sick," she said. "If I throw (160 feet), I'd be ecstatic."
Davenport ace: Huntley grad Zach Liebman, a senior pitcher at Michigan's NAIA Davenport University, is 3-0 with a 1.93 ERA this season for the Panthers (24-12).
Liebman, a right-hander, had a career-high 10 strikeouts Sunday, including five in a row, while allowing five hits in five innings in an 8-4 victory against Saint Xavier. The effort earned Liebman the school's Athlete of the Week award on its website, DUPanthers.com.
For the season, Liebman has 19 strikeouts in 182/3 innings.
Carthage standout: Jacobs grad Donnie Langland, a senior at D-III Carthage College, was named the CCIW Men's Golfer of the Week on Tuesday.
Langland won the honor after he earned the individual title in the Marian (Wis.) Invitational by shooting 67-70—137 in the two-day event. Last week, he placed third in the Augustana Invitiational with a two-round score of 77-71—148. Langland's total was one shot off the winning score.
For the season, Langland owns a team-best 72.3 scoring average to go along with 10 top-five finishes.
Beloit's best: Ryan Kaveney, a freshman baseball pitcher at D-III Beloit College, is the top starter for the Bucs this season with a 2-1 record and a team-best 2.27 ERA.
Kaveney, a Cary-Grove grad, allowed one hit and struck out eight over seven innings in a 7-0 win April 13 against Lawrence.
Kaveney ranks third in the Midwest Conference in strikeouts (29) and opponents' batting average (.207).
Senior outfielder Will Mack (Prairie Ridge) is batting .340 this season for the Bucs (7-11). He is second on the team with 18 hits and a .419 on-base percentage.
Speaker joins Iowa volleyball: Marian Central grad Tanja Speaker has joined the University of Iowa women's volleyball staff as its interim director of volleyball operations.
Speaker, who played college basketball at D-II Florida Southern College, recently worked as a game operations assistant for the Texas Stars hockey team and as a front desk agent at the AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center in Austin, Texas.

Globalization opens up a world of possibilities for both businesses and academia, but also presents the challenge of interacting with people from diverse cultures. The Watson School is providing ways for students, alumni and faculty to benefit from its international network.
Learning Community
The Engineering Community at Mountainview offers incoming freshman the opportunity to meet fellow engineering students, receive academic support and explore their chosen field through trips to local industry and educational partners such as Lockheed Martin and Cornell's High Energy Synchrotron.
Peer Tutoring and Mentoring
Academic support services are offered by several Watson School organizations including Tau Beta Pi — the National Engineering Honor Society, Upsilon Pi Epsilon — the Computer Science Honor Society, and the Association for Computing Machinery.

"Your radio show changed my life. As a result of listening, I converted to Catholicism at 53 years old. I was a very active Protestant my whole life before becoming a Catholic. Keep up the terrific work!"
~ Connie
"All heretics wish to be styled Catholic, yet if anyone asks them where is the Catholic place of worship none would venture to point out his own."
~ Augustine of Hippo, convert, bishop, theologian, Doctor of the Church; using the early Christian consensus on the name of the Catholic Church to show how even heretics know the true church (from the article Catholic)

Welcome to the Ford Motor Company Center for Global Citizenship at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. The center draws on a diverse array of Kellogg and Northwestern faculty and researchers to investigate the role of business and its interaction with the social and political environment. The Center's mission is to address - through research and teaching - the challenges faced by corporations that have become the main agents of global, social and political change. Our scholars are dedicated to an interdisciplinary approach that combines ethical, strategic and organizational concerns.
Established through the generous contributions of the Ford Motor Company, the Center merged with the Center for Business, Government, and Society in September 2006.

Adam Berk had a vision of creating an online library where neighbors could borrow tools and electronics from one another. Why buy a fancy camera you only needed to use once for a big trip? Why invest the money in physical tools for a home remodeling project if you are never going to need them again? Adam and his best friend Dave spent 5 years creating this utopian community, neighborrow, powered by a new form of currency. Their business model was to eventually white label the product and sell it to large apartment buildings and others who wanted to facilitate a borrowing community. But they never achieved their vision.
At age 25, Laura Sanko was a founding member of a startup that raised $3.5 Million from some world-famous investors and the Founder's Fund. The business model was simple: a website that rented high-end jewelry for special occasions for a fraction of the retail value of each piece. Three years later, the investment money was all gone and while the site continued to operate, it had failed to meet the investors' expectations. I sat down with Laura to figure out what went wrong.

Dual PIII's and Linux! Nice work! Not sure if you have read all of Yoichiro's modifications he did. From what I have read on his site, even if you do all the modifications, you still may not be able to get 110 or higher.
When you are running at 100 or 83, are you experiencing any random lockups or reboots?
phaedrus wrote:So, my idea is this: glue the wires down with some kind of epoxy. I haven't tried it yet, but I think even just a 5 minute epoxy would make a very solid mechanical connection with the board, and shouldn't damage the PCB. Any thoughts?
purrkur wrote:I can't say that I have seen the extreme Vtt fluctuation on either of my boards (ver 1.0 and 1.1) which is why I am also sceptical on replacing the Q6. I have also seen all of the mods sites that you mentioned and there is one thing that bothers me about the Friendtech's recommendations is that they don't mention why these changes should be implemented.
I can mention that the caps that I replaced were all of bigger size (in terms of microF and physical size) than the originals but I used the same voltage specifications. I replaced the 8 caps around the voltage regulators and the 12 caps around the ZIF sockets.
I am not so sure you will ever see 133 on the BP6 no matter how much you try. I think the adventurous over on this forum have reached 110 but thats it. I makes me wonder how the NEO 370S handles overclocked frequency as opposed to the frequency switches on the adapter itself?

I've found that the 3dfx drivers are unstable (and unmaintained, so it's not likely to get fixed any time soon) as well as the closed source nVidia drivers. I've setup my system so I can run with the opensource nv driver when I don't need the 3d acceleration. That cleared up my problems.

Pudvah is new development head at CVHHH
BERLIN Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice has added a seasoned central Vermont executive to its team.
President and CEO Sandy Rousse announced that Daniel Pudvah has been appointed as the organizations development director.
Rousse said Pudvah, who lives in Barre, was a welcome addition given his rich background in fund development, marketing and communications, much of which is in health care.
Pudvah served as vice president of community relations and development for Central Vermont Medical Center for several years before leaving that job to take over as executive director of Kellogg-Hubbard Library in Montpelier. He was employed most recently as director of development for the Radio Vermont Group, where he implemented strategies for nonprofit and nontraditional businesses and organizations using broadcasting to support their missions and objectives.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...
