Student on break falls ill and recovers from meningococcal meningitis
December 7, 2016
Meningococcal organisms are transmitted by direct contact and by large droplets from the nose and throat. Intimate contacts are defined as household contacts, those who share the same sleeping space and people socially close enough to have shared eating utensils. Sharing the same classroom space is not considered intimate contact and does not increase risk of infection. Symptoms of meningococcal meningitis often occur suddenly and include sudden high fever, headache, stiff neck, nausea, vomiting, red-purple rash and eye sensitivity to light. Immediate care is necessary because the illness can progress rapidly and can be lethal.
This particular student's infection was due to meningococcal meningitis serogroup B, which is not covered by the vaccine commonly recommended for first-year students living in residence halls. This more common vaccine (Menactra, Menveo) covers serogroups A, C, Y and W-135. Two recently approved vaccines (Bexsero, Trumenba) cover serogroup B and are delivered in a series of two or three vaccinations. The meningococcal B vaccines are available to those 16 to 25 years of age who wish to have the vaccine. More information about meningococcal B vaccines is available online.

Creating a blog layout isn't that hard, the only thing you need is what kind of layout do you want. It maybe two column, three column and the list goes on. Keep in mind however that most themes have multiple page templates today e.g. blog index, archive page, contact page, front page (for CMS style sites where the blog is just an element). Today we will create a blog layout (the blog index page) in Photoshop, and convert it onto HTML / CSS (on the next series) and finally on a convert it again on a WordPress Theme. I hope you are ready because everything will be from scratch. 🙂
Our first part is to create the layout in Photoshop, and we are using a two column layout for our blog.
I suggest you subscribe to our RSS because this will be a series of tutorials and you don't want to be left behind!
Blog Layout
Let's begin!
Create a new file as shown below.
Open your canvas and set the sizes to 1000px for width and 1300 for height.
Fill your background with #f9faf9 and go to filter > noise > add noise, set the amount to 1%.
Create a new layer name header, grab your Marquee Tool (M) and select 100px on top, fill it with #404040.
We will now create a logo, select the color #ff6f17 and use the font Eras Bold ITC 53PT.
Select Blending Options > Drop Shadow and set the color to #dbdbdb, the rest is default.
On Inner Glow, set the color to #fbfbfb and size to 1px.
In Gradient, follow this colors and hit OK.
Follow the Gradient Settings above.
In Stroke, set the color to #fcc19f and size to 1px.
You should have something like this.
For the "Magazine" word, select drop shadow color #000000, size and distance to 1px.
Here is your logo.
We will create the navigation, use Arial Regular 28pt color #fff except on "Home" which is color #000000.
Grab your Rounded Rectangle Tool (U) radius 8px, and create the shape under home layer.
Select Marquee Tool (M) and delete the lower part of the current layer.
Your navigation should look like this.
Now on the content. Grab your Rounded Rectangle Tool (U) raduis 3px and select the left side of the canvas.
Still on content layer, go to blending options > drop shadow, use the color #dfdfdf. Blending Mode to normal, and the rest are defaults.
In stroke, color is #dcdcdc and set the size to 1px.
Grab Marquee Tool (M) and select a rectangular shape inside content layer.
Drag 'n drop the image and right click > create clipping mask. The image will be inside the selected box.
On our image layer, select inner glow and set the blending mode to normal, the rest are defaults.
Stroke color is #959595 and set the size to 1px, Opacity to 40%.
Check out the border of the image. I also added some text, for the title I use Bebas 32pt color #505050 and the exceprt is Arial 28pt color is #888888 Regular.
Duplicate the layers and post different pictures so it'll look more alive.
Now we will work on the sidebar, grab Rounded Rectangular Tool (U) and set the radius to 3px.
Blending Option > Drop Shadow, set your foreground to #818181 and distance to 1px.
Inner Glow, change blending mode to normal and size to 1px.
Copy the gradient color settings above.
In stroke, color is #b1b1b1 size is 1px, Opacity 100%.
You should have the same image as above, I also added some text. I use Bebas 28pt color #8f8f8f. Next is to sunken the text!
For our sunken text, in drop shadow color #ffffff, blending mode normal and distance & size are 1px.
Inner shadow color is #f2f2f2 and distance and size is 1px.
This is our title sidebar, compare the one you have above 😉
Now we will create an advertisement holder, select Marquee Tool (M) and draw a 125px by 125px on the sidebar. Fill with #5f5f5f.
In gradient, follow the settings above.
Now we have these ads holder. Next is to add some text.
I added some text, I use Arial 19pt Regular color is #fffff. And then I added some dropshadow set the color to #00000, size and distance to 1px. Duplicate the layer and display 2 in a row.
For sidebar title just duplicate the one that we created above. Create some text for random post section, I use Bebas 24pt color #505050.
Grab your Elliptical Marquee Tool (M) and draw a line under the title of the post. Create a new layer and fill the first one with #d9d5d7, create a new layer again (for the second one) and fill it with #ffffff. I use brush for filling the lines with colors 😉
Now, press your down arrow keys once to drop 1px and show the first layer of line. See the sunken line effect on close up.
Duplicate the layer and fill in those left titles. You can compare your work now 🙂
For footer, select Marquee Tool (M) and fill it with #404040. For the text I use Arial 12pt color #8f8f8f with a little bit of drop shadow.
There you have it! You see creating a blog layout on Photoshop isn't that hard, and we are just getting started. The next part is converting this into HTML and CSS, remember we will convert this into a full working WordPress Theme so I suggest to subscribe on RSS so you'll know when will be the next part. See you on the next series 🙂

Hello NOX Andrew
Second, can I solve the problem? Yes.
The first thing to note is that in the examples you quote, the number of rectangles you can find includes the number of squares. So by 'rectangle' you're not excluding those rectangles that are also squares. I'll show you how to solve this one, and leave you to try the number of shapes that are specifically squares in a similar way.
First, let's agree that in an grid, there are rows and columns. Next, when I talk about a rectangle, I mean a rectangle that is made up of unit squares arranged in rows and columns.
OK. Let's start counting, beginning with the smallest rectangle, and working our way up to the largest, using an grid.
rectangle. (Which is, of course, a square.)Obviously we can have of these along the bottom row (since there are columns in our grid), and there are such rows. So the total number of rectangles is:rectangle. (That's a rectangle with rows and column.)
We can still fit of these along the bottom row, since these rectangles are just column wide. But we can now only make rows like this before we hit the top of the grid. So the total number of rectangles is:rectangle.
In a similar way, the number of these rectangles we can find is:... and so on, all the way up to:
rectangle.You should easily see that number of these is:Now we pause, and add up the number of rectangles we've found so far. It is:
You may recognise the series in the brackets as a simple AP (the sum of the first whole numbers), whose sum is:
So the number of rectangles we've found so far is:Now let's look at rectangles that are columns wide.
rectangle (That's row, columns)We can't fit so many along the bottom row now. In fact, only of them. But we can get rows. So the number is:rectangle (Another square, of course.)We can still fit of them along the bottom row. But we can now only get rows. So the number is:... and so on, up to:
rectangle.And the number of these is:Adding up in the same way as before, we now get the total:
Can you see that we can continue in the same way? The total number of rectangles 3 columns wide will be:
... and so on.
Finally, we get the total number of rectangles columns wide as:All that remains is to add up these totals, noticing that in each one, we have a common factor of . So the overall total is:
using the same AP formula as before, but with the 's this time. So the formula for the number of rectangles in an grid is:
Now you see if you can derive a formula for simply squares. (You may find it easier to assume that, for the sake of argument, .)

About the zoo
Precious few places evoke the same emotions as zoos. The exotic animals, their beautiful babies and the brave keepers taking care of them… Well, we can let you in on a secret: working at the zoo is as great as most of people think! Should you want to learn more about the zoo, its history and people, you are in the right place.
There is more to the zoo than cute animals, it also employs a vast team of people always on hand to see after the creatures and visitors. Should you have anything noteworthy or interesting to tell us, then feel free to phone or send an email.
The past and present
Covering an area of 6.5 hectares, the zoological garden was formally opened to the public on 9th May 1946. Josef Fabián was the zoo's first manager and the museum curator at this time, holding these posts from 1946 to 1953. Surprisingly, all the cages and enclosures had to be constructed by zoo personnel, particularly during the first few decades in the zoo's history. Most significantly, an old greenhouse for palm trees was transformed into the Tropical House, housing primates, birds, and Rémus, the first lion at Dvůr Králové.

By Pfc. Andrya Hill (4th BCT, 25th ID)September 30, 2009
FORWARD OPERATING BASE SALERNO, Afghanistan - The Army is rich in history and legacy, and while most Soldiers can answer questions regarding basic knowledge, like when the Army was founded, many of them go about their day-to-day operations without account to times past.
Paratrooper Staff Sgt. Tyler Fosheim, however, considers himself a history buff, and said he uses common sense and the Army's legacy for insight and inspiration in his noncommissioned officer duties as 1st Platoon Sergeant for Company D, 3rd Battalion, 509th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division.
"My great inspiration in life is probably my father and my grandfather. My grandfather was in World War II, and a very kind man. He brought home weaponry that my dad inherited: German helmets, old mortar tubes. Then my dad, he really gave me my love of history and that's why I wanted to join the army," he explained. "I wanted to live history, make a difference, and really find out what it's like to be in the fight."
Fosheim tries to instill an appreciation for history and Army values in his Soldiers, and said that it is important to understand what America's forefathers endured to fully grasp the Army experience.
"How can you know about the Army, and how can you appreciate the Army, if you don't know the history of it' If you don't know how hard your grandparents had it - and their grandparents," he challenged. "You can't compare the conditions in World War II to what we have now. It's just impossible. We can't imagine not having an MWR and only being able to write letters, and living in a fox hole every day for a year. So I just like to impress that upon my Soldiers."
He draws encouragement from historical figures, and models himself after great men of the past.
"It is probably pretty clichAfA, but my favorites are Army Gen. MacArthur or Gen. Patton. They were audacious. They basically had no regrets. They did what needed to be done to win the battles and to win the war and sometimes they did first and asked questions later," he said, smiling. "As Theodore Roosevelt said: 'Instead of letting congress debate the canal, I built the canal and let congress debate me.'"
In addition to his historical motivation, Fosheim has a strong understanding of the NCO creed, and strives to exceed standards.
"An NCO is someone that trains and leads Soldiers, but it's a lot more than that," he said. "It's someone who makes sure all their Soldiers eat before them, makes sure they are taken care of. Someone who makes sure that, before they move on to personal stuff like the MWR or calling mom and dad, their weapons are clean, everyone knows what's happening during patrol, and it's been rehearsed - someone who puts the mission ahead of himself."
Fosheim has an aggressive approach to leadership and insists on maintaining standards and integrity. His Soldiers said they were leery of him in the beginning, but have developed a healthy respect for him.
"I came to this platoon with a reputation because I was one of the graders at EIB and I adhere to the standards, so people got no-gos at my station," he said. "So when I came here they weren't too happy at first, but now they see who I am, what my leadership style is, and that I'm proactive."
Spc. Paul Nichols, one of the infantrymen that received a no-go from Fosheim during his EIB testing, said his opinion has changed since Fosheim became the platoon sergeant.
"It's strange how things work out," he said. "It's different now that he is with us. He's pretty on-the-ball, he knows what he is doing. He likes to spot check people, look for mistakes, correct them. He expects everyone to know their job and the next job up. But he is pretty cool. He'll talk to me about family and just how it's going."
Leadership styles take years to develop, and Fosheim said he has matured over his course as an NCO, learning immensely about himself in the process.
"I learned that I can have patience," he said. "As a junior NCO, a sergeant and especially a corporal, I was very short with Soldiers. I was a loud NCO, not yelling for no reason, but when the opportunity came I would use corrective training as a tool. I find now that I have a lot more patience; or try to."
Fosheim balances patience and discipline with a mix of professional at-ease, allowing his Soldiers to relax when not under pressure.
"I come across stern at first, but once the Soldiers learn that I'm being serious when I tell them things, then we can kind of relax the atmosphere and joke around a little bit, but we always keep it professional," he said.
At the end of the day, Fosheim simply tries to lead his Soldiers, inspire his fellow leaders, and continue his personal development as an NCO in his quest to impact modern-day history.
"I strive to take care of my Soldiers, remain tactically and technically proficient, and to mentor my NCOs to share the same values as I do. Be, Know, Do," he said. "I lead by example. I would never ask a soldier to do something that I haven't done myself, or that I wouldn't do."
Whether inspecting Soldier's weapons and gear, teaching them something new, or challenging them with a pop question on Army history, he is constantly involved in their personal and professional development.
"He asked me the other day who the youngest president was. I didn't know," said Nichols. "It's Theodore Roosevelt," he added, smiling.
From patrols, to routine missions, to down time on the FOB, Fosheim can be counted on to be a steadfast leader. Through history, Army values, and a desire to leave a legacy, he strives to be the best NCO possible, for his Soldiers, himself, and his wife and three daughters.
"My daughters, they are everything I have to live for," he said. "That is why I want to make the world a better place."

How did you figure whether they're maxima or minima?
Find the two stationary points of y=(3x^2+4)/x and determine if they are a local maximum, local minimum or neither.
I've made an attempt at the question and was wondering if someone could please check my answer and guide me if I've done something wrong
y = (3x^2+4)/x
= 3x+(4/x)
y' = 3-4x^2
x = (-sqrt(3)/2) and (sqrt(3)/2)
Subbing the x into the original equation, y = -25/2sqrt(3) and 25/2sqrt(3)
I got that (-sqrt(3)/2,-25/2sqrt(3)) is a local minimum
and (sqrt(3)/2, 25/2sqrt(3)) is a local maximum.
Am I correct?
I tried finding the gradient on each side using the first derivative:
so when x is -sqrt(3)/2 or approx -0.866, y = 0
when x = -0.87, y = -0.0276 (negative)
when x = -0.85, y = 0.11 (positive) which means if it goes from negative to 0 to positive, then it is a local minimum.
I did the same method with the other stationary point and it went from positive to 0 to negative, meaning it is a local maximum.

This scheme is sophisticated, romantic, very British, featuring a soft colour palette of dusky pinks, greens and neutrals. Carefully line-drawn florals with a dash of watercolour. Lush green leaves, ferns and abstract botanical arrangements. Set the scene with old wooden crates or drawers adorned with apothecary jars filled with summery florals, cloches on your tables with simple greenery. Give your guests seed packet favours or seedlings wrapped in pretty hand drawn paper. Adorn your cake with scrambling blooms, and let's not forget the dress! Beautiful lacy flowers wrap around the body, or for the more adventurous, how about a soft watercolour print dress? What could be more romantic??

I am loving this jewel colour palette which features warm coral, luscious lilacs and warm pinks and offers a striking fresh modern look for the bohemian bride. Teamed with white it offers a bold statement for big personalities, or team with gold for an elegant touch. This colour scheme is just gorgeous for a summer wedding or when heading into autumn. Use home-grown florals like peonies, dahlias, roses and again, gorgeous greenery in your bouquet. Fill jam jars for the tables with these gorgeous blooms too. A few dramatic big blooms won't blow the budget when teamed with lot's of lush summer greenery Place bowls of yummy strawberries, blackberries and peaches on the tables, and why not give your guests jars of homemade jam as favours. When it comes to the dress, what about a gown smothered in dreamy painted flowers, delicate floral lace or appliqued blossoms a la Yolan Cris bridal collection. Aaah gorgeous!

The post Seven top tips when choosing your wedding stationery, and why or what is Laser cut? appeared first on Hand-Held-Designs.]]>
So some couples will have come across laser cut stationery before, may love the shadows, delicate images, and general magic of it, (well I think it is anyway!), or have decided on it already. Some couples may have never seen it before and are wondering what does it all mean??
Laser cutting involves a direct, high powered laser beam which follows a computer generated pattern, burning in this case card (for wedding stationery) to create the desired effect, with a precise sharp edge. Depending on the thickness and type of the card stock used, the power, speed and frequency are adjusted, producing a high quality cut with perfect ease, on designs which can be simple or complex. The burning on the edge does create some browning, but I've discovered that this only enhances the design when cut from ivory, cream or pale shades.
On darker colours the browning is barely noticeable. I often use a contrasting coloured insert underneath which can really show off the design.
Do you want to be more creative with your stationery? Want something a little different? Want to think out of the
box or be more individual? It's your day, so why not let it tell your story as a couple, who you are, or what your day will be like. Who doesn't want to send a lasting first impression? Laser cut wedding stationery is a perfect choice to create all of that. Your invitations offer the first glimpse of your wedding style, so express your personality and style.
Don't be restricted by size, shape or colour. We can design anything to fit your ideas, what's your dream?
1 – When planning your wedding stationery, work backwards from the big day, and make sure you have all the key
dates correct, like the RSVP date is co-ordinated with when the caterers need to know numbers etc.
Don't feel that you have to send out Save the Date because everyone else does, but if you are planning a
wedding on a bank holiday weekend or in the height of summer, it maybe a good idea to do so. Send them out
9 months in advance, send invitations approx. 4 months in advance, and give 3-4 weeks for people to reply to RSVP's.
2- When you're sending RSVP's, it may sound obvious, but put a stamp on the envelope/ postcard. This ensures
that your guests return them to whoever is hosting, otherwise you may be spending your evenings chasing
people rather than looking at gorgeous inspiration on Pinterest!
3 – The best idea I think, is not to overcrowd the invitation by trying to include too much information. It won't look
elegant, and makes it harder for your guests to read. Venue directions and gift info should be put onto a separate
info card. It's like they say, less is more!
4 – A super top tip is to check, check, check the proofs. A proof of your wording will be sent before going to print. Triple check and more the details, ask your fiancé, mum or a grammar savvy friend to check over the content so nothing gets missed. It will be super budget blowing if you have to have them reprinted because you've miss spelt the venue!
5 – If you find a design that you love, but it's slightly over budget, speak to your stationer, I personally I like to speak to the individuals I am designing for, and offer some ideas on how they can adapt things to possibly save
money, or even the actual design. For example to save a little bit of money, you could think of putting one menu
on each table , with perhaps the veggie / children choice on the back rather than separate menus.
If you are working to a specific or tight budget, don't be afraid to get in touch with me to discuss other options.
If you are going for one of my off-the-shelf designs, you are still able to personalise them with your own details.
6 – Don't forget to double check your numbers. Families only need one invite, as do couples, so this may rapidly reduce the amount of invites required. Address your envelopes to the exact guests you are inviting. If you have chosen not to invite children, then make it clear from the start that they are not being invited, there is no subtle way of doing this I'm afraid!
7 – Finally, creating your wedding stationery is a bit like viewing a show house, you often walk in and think WOW,
how fabulous., someone has spent a lot of time designing this house. It will be the same as soon as people see what we have created together, people will get there own little wow factor, and know that you have taken the time and effort to produce something beautiful. I really believe that if you are after that wow factor, and your budget can stretch to it, bespoke stationery telling your story can give your wedding guests a glimpse of how amazing your day is going to be before it has even begun………..

Down in the Keys
06/16/2012 § Leave a comment
I spent last weekend in lovely Key West with my fiancee. Friday we lounged all afternoon by the pool drinking pina coladas and life was good!
On Saturday we spent the day at sea and got a serious tan. And, at night we walked around the wharf on the Westside of the island and saw some beautiful boats. We ended the evening with ice cream and more frozen drinks on Duval street while checking out the live music scene.
Sunday there was an unforgettable Eggs Benedict @ Martin's (highly recommended – photo on Pinterest) and after more lounging on a heavenly beach-side hammock, it was time to go home.
Though it was only a few short days, it was enough to leave me completely relaxed, inspired and amuzed.
Here are some shots from last weekend:

Ketoacidosis at onset of type 1 diabetes mellitus in pediatric age in Spain and review of the literature.
DKA at diagnosis of T1DM is a life-threatening situation that represents the main cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients with T1DM.
OBJECTIVETo determine whether the occurrence and severity of DKA at diagnosis of T1DM has suffered any changes in recent years in the Spanish paediatric population.
PATIENTS AND METHODSData from 1169 patients with T1DM under 15 years of age was retrospectively studied (2004 -2008) for the presence and severity of DKA at the onset of T1DM, and compared to previous available studies in Spain. This study is multicentric, nationwide with eleven major Paediatric Diabetes Units involved.
RESULTSComplete data were available from 1151 patients (98%). Frequency of DKA was 39.5%, which is not significantly different from previous Spanish studies. 33.8%, children of 0-4.9 years of age, 40.8% aged 5-10.9 and 25.2% aged 11-14.9 years. Mean age of patients with DKA was significantly lower than the one of patients without DKA (7.44 +/- 4.10 versus 8.47 +/- 3.63 years). Mild DKA was occurring more frequently than moderate and severe forms (47.8%, versus 34.4% versus 17.8%, p<0.0001). Incidence of severe DKA was significantly higher in children under 4.9 years of age, especially in those younger than 2 years (p<0.001). Severe DKA led to complications in three children (cerebral oedema [n=1]), cerebral infarction (n=1) and femoral vein thrombosis (n=1).
CONCLUSIONFrequency of DKA at diagnosis of T1DM in Spain is still high although most cases were mild. Children under 2 years of age seem to be at increased risk for severe DKA.

Done yesterday (20111117 Th)Nov. 18th, 2011 07:45 am
Woke up from a dream -- which I actually remembered some of, which is unusual in itself -- that involved looking over the edge of a ledge that seemed to be part of a building being renovated on the left, and part of a cliff on the right. I do get nervous around unprotected drop-offs, but don't remember dreaming about it before. The building under construction, college caffeteria, and unfamiliar city streets are common.
Most of the morning -- ok, the whole morning -- was taken up by a seminar on export controls. The speaker managed to be both informative and entertaining, so that was good. Spent some time talking to people, as well. No walkies.
My new netbook has been shipped, and is scheduled to arrive a week from Monday. The new scooter charger I ordered arrived.
Somehow, a number of things didn't get done despite being on my to.do list right out where I could see them. I feel rather upset about that.
I did get some work done on the makefile for audio recording directories, and a little practice on the Conflikt set. So that's good.

now ... what do you know about the sum ?
note that and that
I am not understanding at all how to do the trigonometric identities...
As far as i know we had 12 of them that we had to memorize, even after memorizing them i am unsure of how to apply them.
so for my first question the problem says
(sinx + cosx)(sinx + cosx) -1 / sinxcosx
multiply and simplify
the answer is 2 however im unsure how you get that answer.
also there is
1 + tan^2(-x) = sec^2(x)
how do I get both sides to equal the same im suppose to use the more complicated side, but, which identity do I use?
If there is any easy way to remember the identities and to apply them that would be great..
thanks in advance
sin^2x+cos^2x = 1, so
1 + 2 -1 = 2 oo.....
ok and then
1 + tan x^2
1 + tan x^2 = sec x^2
oo.... thanks
ok I understand it when someone tells me what to do, but i cant think of what to use when i have to do it all alone :S
so i have 2 more problems
tanx + cosx /1+sinx = secx
so er...
sinx/cosx + cosx/1+sinx = secx
is that correct? where do i go after that? :/
sinx/sinx - cosx = 1 /1 - cotx
is there any way of really knowing what you have to use? still confused alot thank you

Earlier today, we found out that Nintendo is quite the little money making machine. Of course, what's the point of having large piles of cash to splash around in if you don't have a solid reputation to back it up? (Assuming you aren't Mr. Burns or Mr. Potter from It's a Wonderful Life). Well, according to the 2009 Reputation Institute's Global Reputation Pulse survey, Nintendo is as beloved as they are stinking rich.
Nintendo ranked sixth on the list, just behind frozen food manufacturer Sadia, and just ahead of Christian Dior. As Gamasutra explains, the scores were calculated based on the "admiration, trust, good feelings and overall esteem" felt by consumers in the companies' home countries.
So, where did Nintendo's gaming competitors rank? Microsoft came in 30th and Sony came in 126th, and just for context's sake, Apple ranked 52nd. More telling though than the rankings themselves is that over the past year, Microsoft's reputation score increased by over seven points, while Sony's fell almost six points. Why Americans are feeling more love for Microsoft than Japanese are feeling for Sony isn't exactly clear, but it's still an interesting stat.
Did your favorite company make the list?

Choosing the Right Business Loan
Choosing the right business loan can be crucial to your success and business development, and not all forms of financing are created equal. If your business is struggling, it's common for owners to bail out their company using their personal financial resources such as credit cards. However, it's important to keep your personal and business finances separate because mixin them could put your own assets at risk. There are other options including a credit card in your business name, which you can use to build credit for your company. You can use this card to make large purchases and carry more inventory, and also earn cash back bonuses. A business credit card statement is also a good way of tracking and managing your purchases. Business loans are another option to consider for large purchases or business expansion.
Loan Programs for Small Businesses
The state of Kentucky has unveiled a series of three new programs designed to assist small businesses in getting loans. The new programs are in response to the fact that small businesses have had a difficult time securing new financing in the economic downturn, and they are federally funded with over $15.5 million in capital from the US Treasury and the State Small Business Credit Initiative. For every $1 in federal funds, the state estimates that there will be $10 in private lending funds generated for a total of over $155 million new loans in Kentucky alone. This crucial funding can help to fill the gap in the private funding market and allow small businesses to weather the difficult economy intact. According to state analysts, small businesses are slowly recovering from the 2008 recession but are still suffering from damaged credit scores which make obtaining private funding difficult for business development.

Another smartphone whose release is already in rumor is the iPhone 5. Previously I stated about the iPhone 5 specifications those buzzed out in the news. Now a new report claims that the launch of the iPhone 5 will be most probably in June 2012 at the WWDC (WorldWide Developers Conference). The news first appeared in a Chinese newspaper called 'Commercial Times' which is cited by Daiwa Security analyst.
Apart from this the Samsung Galaxy S III is also in the buzz which is said to be released this April. That's seems going to be a tough competition between the Apple iPhone 5 and SGS III.

Become a Dockwalker,
Help Keep California's Waterways Clean
Contact: Gloria Sandoval (916) 651-5692
February 1, 2013
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - California's Department of Boating and Waterways (DBW) and Coastal Commission's Boating Clean and Green Program invite boaters to become Dockwalkers. Training is free and dockwalking is a fantastic way to interact with boaters to help keep California's marinas, waterways and ocean clean and healthy.
"Working toward keeping California's waterways free from environmental hazards such as oil, fuel, sewage, trash and marine debris is what drives volunteers to participate in the Dockwalker Program," stated DBW's Acting Director Lucia Becerra. "It is rewarding for them to know that their efforts now will help future generations enjoy clean waterways."
The Dockwalker Program educates boaters to be safe and environmentally sound while boating in California through its volunteer Dockwalkers. The volunteers are trained to conduct face-to-face boater education and distribute boater kits with educational information while visiting marinas, boat launch ramps, boat shows and events. Hours spent training or educating the public qualify as community service.
Marinas and yacht clubs also benefit from the Dockwalker Program. Involvement in this program provides marinas and yacht clubs with the educational materials and tools to operate a clean boating facility and minimize water quality impacts.
To become a volunteer, please contact the program coordinator, Vivian Matuk, at (415) 904-6905 or visit www.BoatingCleanandGreen.com for more details and to view the 2013 Dockwalker Training Schedule.
Partnerships with the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Foundation (DBW Clean Vessel Act Program), the Keep the Delta Clean Program, the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, the U.S. Power Squadrons, and many more organizations have made this program successful. Since the year 2000, more than 700 volunteers have become Dockwalkers and more than 90,000 boater kits have been distributed throughout California.
The Boating Clean and Green Program is an education and outreach program conducted through the California Department of Boating and Waterways and California Coastal Commission. The program promotes environmentally-sound boating practices to marine business and boaters.

The following reviews have been submitted by members of the Airsoft community;
Awesome site! A* Staff, great atmosphere and loads of fun!! would HIGHLY recommend this site for anyone!
Awesome time, great site, friendly people. Free tea and coffee. What more needs to be said?
This new site just outside of Plymouth has loads of potential and the people running the site are very friendly and full of advice. The players at this site dont seem to mind any new person being there and in fact welcome them into the group! Being new into airsoft the players also are very helpful and even allow you to try out weapons as well as give great advice. The games played are great and the site leads itself to many types of games. The woodland area has got plenty of supprise areas including a small area with buildings and a small bunker! You cant really get the size of the site while playing it as you criss cross so many tracks within, ambush alley, snipers point, the jetti, are a few areas to watch out for as an ambush is never far away!! The whole place is full of fun and great banter, a very warm friendly place and a joy to play! Great effort keep up th egood work guys and girls at Mad Mommas
Superb site with lots of potential! Very good atmosphere, friendly helpful staff and players. Very reasonable green fees and good services provided for refreshments etc. The site itself is mostly dense woodland broken up with a large open quarry and the ruins of several small buildings to make for some intense ambushes and close up and personal fighting. On site parking is available in the safe zone, though low bodied cars may struggle! Like my poor Astra!

Midge and Nymph Patterns
I was hoping I could get some help picking some midges and nymphs for the next month. I mainly fish the Clinch and the Holston, but will be focusing on the Clinch and have always had bad luck there. I have been reading the threads about midge fishing and feel i have pretty guide technique, get good drifts, and fish good runs (those accessible by waders) but feel i'm not fishing the right nymphs and midges for that stream. I will be ordering some flies from LRO in the next week and was hoping to stock up on some useful patterns. Any suggestions or advice will greatly appreciated!
I would have to recommend #20 and 22 zebra, blood, and stripper midges for the Clinch. Also with the possibility of BWO hatches the next couple months, I would have some #20 bhpt with me. My most efficient approach is to fish these larva and nymphs absolutely on the bottom in very slow moving water. I am talking about water that lots of other people walk past everyday. And I very rarely fish water less than 3' deep on the Clinch, so my strike indicator is about 4' above my bottom fly. The presence of underwater brush or ledges just makes it an even better spot. I use this approach when there isn't a significant hatch ocurring to help spot fish. Also would be good to have some olive/black buggers and olive slumpbusters if you want to fling some meat.
Not sure about the Holston, but I would probably have some of the midges above, #18 & 20 BHPT, and some #18 caddis larva.

Thanks so much for the help! I will definitely be ordering some zebra midges. Normally when I throw midges, I drop them about a foot and a half behind a copper john or pheasant tail and use an indicator about two feet above that. Do you think that might be causing an unnatural drift below? Should I just go only with the midge and drop it deep like you said to avoid a big CJ or PH spooking the fish? Also, since I normally wade and you recommended fishing in 3ft or more of water, how do you suggest this? I feel if I'm fishing a deep rig directly upstream in front of me its difficult to work behind fish in that deep of water. If I cast upstream at an angle, I can hit that deeper water, but is my drift being affected too much? Sorry for all the questions, I just want to break my last few skunked trips to the clinch.
I have never had much luck using a CJ on the Clinch, but your approach using a #16 or 18 BHPT should be fine though. I typically use two midge pupae and in the slow water it doesn't have any trouble getting to depth.
I highly recommend an across and down drift. In some situations, I understand an upstream approach is required. However, on the Clinch, casting across stream and allowing the fly to drift all the way down stream is my most successful approach. This is also true for the SoHo. I have been fishing beside many other fisherman, some I know and others I don't, who insist on fishing upstream. Many times I have had a 3 to 1 catch ratio over them. Now fishing in the really deep water reduces the line shyness of the fish, but it is still there. Another recommendation I would make is to use 6x fluoro or 7x mono. My strike rate is greatly increased when I use these tippet sizes. As far as indicators go, I can't say enough about the 1/2" thingamabobber sizes. I just wish I could order an entire pack of white. They are perfect for this type of fishing, and are very sensitive. Also, strikes when fishing this way are typically very subtle. Don't expect to see your entire indicator go under. Sometimes, it is just a hesitation, set the hook immediately.
As far as how to approach the deep water, I usually fish it from the side. This allows me to be standing in 12" water and casting across into 3' water. When you are in the deep slow stuff I prefer, very rarely do you have to worry about different current speeds altering your drift. Typically the drift in these slow sections is pretty uniform at the surface.
Off topic here..... Your name sounds very familiar to me. Are you from North Knoxville (Halls)?

Thanks for all the help and advice. I love those strike indicators too! So much better than a ball of yarn. Thats interesting about the tippet size. I normally use 5x because every time I use the 6x, its all wind knots and breaking off fish when I set the hook quickly. I think I'm gonna try the fluorocarbon. Its pretty expensive, but is it worth the price? The method you describe for fishing the slow waters at an angle is what I normally try to do. In the faster water, mending normally becomes a problem for me which is probably just my technique issues. One benefit I have found to fishing straight upstream is I can let my line pass and load in the current behind me and cast forward from there. It definitely minimizes the tangles and I can normally get the same distance as I would normal casting a 3 piece rig.
PS: Im from south knoxville, but live out west now. I know the other Michael Jenkins your talking about from halls though; I used to play baseball with him when I was younger and then sports against him in high school
My "go-to" rig is a variant of a BHPH in size 16 about 2 - 3 feet below an indicator on 5X, with a size 18 - 22 midge on about 2' of 6X Fluoro under that. For the past few months, the most effective flies for me have been size 22 BH Brassies, with some glass bead midges I tie also working well. In faster water I tend to fish directly upstream, but in slower currents I fish across and down.
I'm definitely going to go to 6x on my midges from what you all are saying.
Does anyone ever wade or fish from shore at the clinch when they are running one generator, or does the generator just kill fishing up there?
For me the fishing is fine with one generator on the cinch. I usually fish from the shore and throw clousers and buggers with a lot of lead. olive works good and espessially white when some shad get through the turbines. The biggest problem I see on the clinch is that some people will cast three or four times in a good run, see someone else catch a fish or two, leave the spot they are fishing to fish in the run that produced a few fish. They get there and dont catch a thing.
There are tons of fish all throughout the clinch. The key is to focus on a good stretch of water and change flies often untill you find what they are feeding on. This is probably way off topic except the first three sentences but I hope it helps

Remedy Drive in Concert at HLGU
Tuesday, July 17, 2012
by Carolyn Carpenter
The Hannibal-LaGrange University Student Activities Council, in conjunction with WGCA, will host a concert featuring the band Remedy Drive. The concert will take place in the Parker Theatre of the Roland Fine Arts Center on August 29 at 7:30 p.m. Admission is $5.00 at the door and the public is invited.
Remedy Drive, a high-energy rock band from Nashville, TN, has David Zach on lead vocals, guitar, and electric piano; Timmy Jones on drums and backing vocals; Corey Horn on bass and backing vocals; and Dave Mohr on guitars and backing vocals. The band's most recent release is a five song EP called "Light Makes a Way." Remedy Drive is one of the hardest working bands touring today, consistently playing between 150-200 shows per year. For more information about the band, please go to www.remedydrive.com.
The original band, made up of Zach and his three brothers, began in 1998. They released six independent projects before their first major label release, "Daylight is Coming", which was released in 2008. This put Remedy Drive into the national spotlight when their single "All Along" went to number 1 on CHR radio for seven weeks and into the top 10 of the AC charts as well. The video for "Daylight" was voted the number 1 music video of 2008 for the TVU Network.
In late 2010, after his brothers decided to leave the road and gave him their blessing to continue on, front man Zach re-invented and re-energized the band by adding Jones, Horn, and Mohr to the line-up. The new foursome's die-hard community has shouted their approval from coast to coast. The new Remedy Drive has released a 5 song EP entitled "Light Makes a Way," with fans already singing the chorus every night with the band.
Remedy Drive has made a name for themselves through their energetic and dynamic live show. Jones, a Memphis TN native and drummer, brings the charisma and passion that rivals any band's front man. Mohr's screaming guitars, combined with Horn's thumping bass riffs, pave the way for Zach's all-over-the-stage antics and non-stop interaction with the crowd.
"We're four guys making music together from four different parts of the country— and we don't have a plan B" says the band's leader Zach. "We just want to keep making music and writing songs that shoot holes in the night sky, so that the light can break through the darkness. This new chapter of the band is an awesome adventure, and we're excited to see where the road leads us, because music can go places where nothing else can. It can break down barriers, rebuild bridges, soften the hardest of hearts, and remind us to never lose hope."
