Reviews of this property
I had a very good experience during my one week stay in sevilla.
The people were helpful and someone was there to welcome me.
The apartment is confortable and clean.
Very basic, no daylight. We have had much nicer appartments in Andalucia for the same price.
Host Vicente and his wife very friendly, speak only Spanish, but a drawback for son who understands little English is rare.
Location: excellent, Museo de Bellas Artes, quiet street, nice neighborhood.
apartment itself: small, most suitable for two people, photo misleading because of the hall, not the apt.
conclusion: everything is in order, especially the bathroom, but small, narrow beds.
host Vicente en zijn vrouw: heel vriendelijk, spreken alleen Spaans, wel een bezwaar want zoon die beetje Engels verstaat is er zelden .
locatie: prima, bij Museo de Bellas Artes, rustig straatje, prettige buurt.
appartement zelf: klein, hoogstens geschikt voor twee personen, foto misleidend want van het halletje, niet van het apt.
conclusie: alles in orde, speciaal de badkamer, maar klein, bedden smal.
the house is in the historic center easy to reach both on foot and by all means, close to the bus station for both the city center and out Siviglia.La quiet and peaceful street, as far as the apartment is suitable for two people even if the ad spoke of four, we were three and at certain times there was a little tight, but refinished on vacation so all was well.The 'apartment ritrutturato if it would be very comfortable and cute but always for two people.The contacts with the lady were very friendly and always available to our requests .. What much appreciated by us women can use the washing machine and the courtyard for asciugareil laundry, so to return fewer things to worry lavare.Unico but for us Italian important not to be able to use the coffee machine (moka). Anyway it was a great vacation and we wanted to go back Gabriella. Valeria. Cristina
la casa è in pieno centro storico facile da raggiungere sia a piedi che con tutti i mezzi pubblici,vicino alla stazione degli autobus sia per il centro urbano che fuori Siviglia.La strada tranquilla e silenziosa,per quanto riguarda l'appartemento è adatto per due persone anche se l'annuncio parlava di quattro,noi eravamo in tre e in certi momenti ci si stava un pò stretti,ma ervamo in vacanza per cui tutto andava bene.L'appartamento se fosse ritrutturato sarebbe molto comodo e carino ma sempre per due persone.I contatti avuti con la signora sono stati molto cordiali e sempre disponibile alle nostre richieste..Cosa molto apprezzata da noi donne poter usufruire della lavatrice e il cortile per asciugareil bucato, così al rientro meno cose da lavare.Unico cruccio ma per noi italiane importante non riuscire usare la macchinetta del caffe (moka).Comunque è stata una bella VACANZA e avremmo voluto tornare indietro Gabriella. Valeria. Cristina
The studio is comfortable and centrally located, pleasantly surprised by how clean it can find, the only negatives are the noise at night because the street is very narrow (cars and motorcycles) arriva dog is pretty outrageous too! Only saw the owners when we got the keys, we would have liked to know and exchange points of view, we believed that this system would allow us to have a more human touch in hotels but the price and the rendering are very aceptables.Recomendable. Sevilla Live!
El estudio es comodo y céntrico, agradablemente sorprendidos por lo limpio que lo encontramos, los unicos puntos negativos son el ruido nocturno ya que la calle es muy angosta (autos y motos) el perro de arriva es bastante escandaloso tambien! Solo vimos a los dueños cuando nos dieron las llaves, nos hubiera gustado conocerlos e intercambiar puntos de vista, creimos que este sistema nos permitiria tener un contacto mas humano que en los hoteles pero el precio y la prestacion son muy aceptables.Recomendable. Viva Sevilla!
we had a great home, accommodation very clean, cozy - perfect location. it is a little dark but knowing that we do not stay there during the day this is not a problem - the advantage is that it is not hot - I would recommend this accommodation and if I return to Seville j ' would be delighted to return
nous avons eu un super acceuil, logement très propre, douillet - parfaitement situé. il est un peu sombre mais sachant que nous n'y restons pas dans la journée cela ne pose pas de problème - l'avantage est qu'il n'est pas chaud - je recommande ce logement et si je dois revenir à séville j'aurais plaisir à y retourner
Simple apartment, but everything we needed was provided and it was clean. Pleasant reception, we also have not seen Vicente, he was available for any questions from us. It is located in a quiet street, no more than 15 minutes walk from the historic center. Various shops and restaurants nearby. May 2013 French and Ine
Eenvoudig appartement, maar alles wat we nodig hadden was aanwezig en het was schoon. Prettige ontvangst, verder hebben we Vicente niet meer gezien, hij was wel bereikbaar voor eventuele vragen van ons. Het ligt in een rustig straatje, hooguit 15 minuten lopen van het historisch centrum. Diverse winkeltjes en horeca vlakbij.
Mei 2013 Frans en Ine
A small and modest apartment but well located and equipped with everything you might need. It is noisy especially being on the ground level but this is the norm in European city centers we found. The owner provides excellent communication and lots of local information in the suite. An upstairs neighbor is on site for keys and questions. Very friendly and convenient.
Great location between old town and the class neighborhoods with small churches. Nice touch with the owner. No luxury apartment, but all the necessary is present.
Geweldig gelegen tussen historisch centrum en de volksbuurten met kleine kerkjes.
Prettig contact met de eigenaar. Geen luxe appartement, maar al het noodzakelijke is aanwezig.
A small apartment but it has everything you could need. Ideal for three to four equal sizes a bit smaller. Great location walk to get to all the sites of interest. Best value for money! Very friendly owners! Repeat if we return to Seville.
Un apartamento pequeño pero que tiene todo lo que puedas necesitar. Ideal para tres personas, para 4 igual queda algo pequeño.
Situación buenísima que llegas andando a todos los sitios de interés.
Óptima relación calidad-precio!
Los dueños muy amables!
Repetiremos si volvemos a Sevilla.

I was out this last weekend checking the amount of feed in my hive top feeders and noticed that the one hive that I have been most concerned about was comming and going like it was summer! I introduced this SMR colony as a three lb package early this last spring and it took forever to get going. It had all year and it never did fill out the top hive body, that is why I am keeping an eye on it and plenty of feed. At first I thought that my nasty tempered Buckfast were robbing it, but they were not flying at all. I peeked inside and saw that they were ok but not feeding on the syrup. My Italian's were out and about by twos and threes, but those slow to get going SMR's were very active, and it was only in the low 40's! I had considered doing away with the Smr's because of the slow growth and poor output.
My questions: Is it common for SMR's to take flight in low temeratures, and do you also see the same slow growth and output that I do? Are you also thinking of requeening with another breed? Is there another breed that flies at even lower temps?
I will be off deer hunting starting Wednesday and will be back Sunday, thanks for your input!

text: Just today (2/5/2014) I was just chatting with the General Sales Manager at Friendly Chevrolet in Dallas, Texas. Due to some type of database error, they have on their lot a NEW & UNTITLED 2011 Chevrolet Camaro LT Convertible that they're asking under $30k for. This is a great deal for anyone and the dealer IS going to lose money on it ... but they just need to get it off their lots. There is no telling what went wrong on their system, but until earlier today their team discovered that the listing on the website was all wrong. It was showing the wrong color, wrong trim package, wrong vin and some of the photos were wrong. However, they got all of that straight and they are confirming that somehow they still have a very nice and NEW 2011 Camaro LT Convertible on their lot. It's been on their lot for a very long time, maybe 2.5 years or more and it's just one of those very rare vehicles that fall through the cracks. Here are the facts ... if you are interested then I suggest that you call ASAP ... and if you do call please tell them that you heard about it from Steve on GMTruckClub.com. I don't get anything out of this, just the General Sales Manager did promise me lunch, so I guess I do get something but I'm not getting a finders fee or anything. NEW 2011 Chevrolet Camaro LT Convertible SALE: $29,988 MSRP: $40,370 Color: Black Exterior / Grey Interior Engine: 3.6L w/ 6-speed Manual Transmission Warranty: 5 year / 100,000 Factory GM Warranty starts when you buy it. Miles: 309 MILES! Now that they have fixed all of the issues with this listing on the website, and they dropped the price on this new Camaro with 300 miles on it to be about what you would pay for a used 30,000 mile 2011 Camaro ... I SUGGEST YOU CONTACT THEM ASAP IF YOU ARE INTERESTED. http://www.friendlychevy.com/web/new/Chevrolet-Camaro-2011-Dallas-Texas/1644607 - - - Updated - - - I'm curious to know what they end up selling it for. At some point it will get snatched up, just a question of when I suppose.

Hi All
As a new beekeeper, I started out with 3 hives last year and lost 1 over the winter. My other two hives seem to be doing really well but I have more drones laying. Where can I purchase queens this time of the year?
Also, what do you guys use for hive beetle control? I can already tell that they are going to be a pain this year. I've tried the beetle traps but they only catch a few here and there.
in advance

Games I Own: Atmosfear The Video Board Game
Posted on 18th May 2009 at 10:29 by Joe Martin with 17 comments
Board games were a huge part of my childhood. I come from a family of seven and my mum worked nights, which meant we often had to be quiet during the day; of course board games were a significant part of my childhood. My dad would even make up little alternate reality games where we'd run around in the woods, solve ancient riddles and search for 'hidden' things, with the final 'treasure' usually being a board game for us all.
I can still remember fighting my brother, who was wearing a huge papier machie helmet to make him look like a centaur, with a wooden broadsword over a 'treasure chest' containing The Legend of Zagor boardgame. That particular ARG went on throughout all the summer holidays…but now I'm getting off track.
The point is: one of my favourite board games growing up was Atmosfear: The Video Board Game. It was a horror-themed game for up to six people where players had to go round a graveyard collecting keys as fast as possible. The game came with an accompanying VHS video, so you played in front of a TV which had a clock counting down on it and you'd collect Time cards that told you to do certain things at certain times. You had one hour to get six keys and escape the cemetery or the Gatekeeper would claim your soul.

Attracted to many, but not necessarily all sexes in a romantic way, but not necessarily in a sexual way. Not to be confused with panromantic, with pan- meaning "all" and poly- meaning "many" but not necessarily all. Used to disregard the idea that there are two binary genders or sexes.
It was difficult and confusing for Ted to come to grips with his asexuality due to the fact that he was also polyromantic.

text: Hello everyone! I've been a site lurker on and off for a couple years, a Star Wars fan my whole life, and an avid costume creator for Halloween. Ohh and most importantly Boba Fett is my all time favorite SW character. So I decided to try my hand at a budget build Fett costume. Most likely going to do an ESB as that was my introduction to Fett when I was a kid and I like the militant look and all. I started with a Pepakura helmet build as my starting point. (Although I've scouted out and am starting to stockpile some other items like Sintra, PVC, boots w/ zippers on the inside, and a shirt that should make for a good vest to mod, ohhh and a $5 toy gun off ebay to build and gun around). I've got two daughters and hope some day they develop the love for SCI-FI that I have always enjoyed and will want to build costumes for Halloween. I don't know anyone who troops and I've never been to a GenCon type of show but always thought they'd be cool. So anyhow, just wanted to introduce myself and start off by saying THANK YOU! to all who have posted ideas here on builds and what not. This is truely a great site and I've enjoyed the only start of my Fett build and looking forward to the rest of it. No time crunch here, a hobby for me to do when I have some free time here and there and always enjoy projects in the garage. Going to try to post a couple pics of my helmet build in the Helmet Forum and look for advise. It's freezing in Wisconsin so the Rhondo and painting will need to wait til spring I think. But looking to get as much done on the helmet in the meantime and start the sintra armor template cutting and shaping.

Hacking Oracle
I want to check if they are both secure, but I don't know how I should proceed with the pentest. I know I need the SID along with a tool to make a connection to the database.
So far, all that I found on the internet was pretty old, using tools in backtrack 2 or talking about Oracle 9i or older.
Anyone knowing about tools or a useful link on that topic?

Is Marketing, "Fools Green" Making Corporations Real Gold?
Is Marketing, "Fools Green" Making Corporations Real Gold?
Press Release by Alicia Surgeoner
Download a PDF version of this press release.
Las Vegas is home to a one of a kind, REAL green company. Heather and Jared Fisher put the eco back into the economy.
Las Vegas- Heather and Jared Fisher, are the owners of Escape Adventures; a North American Multi-Sport Touring Company that runs greener than any other on earth. Not only has Escape Adventures been voted, "Best Outfitter on Earth," by National Geographic, they also own the title, "Worlds Only Carbon-Neutral Outfitter," meaning they offset 100% of their company's emissions- and NOT by merely writing a check. While corporations and small businesses hype the promise that they are a "green" company, Escape Adventures is living it.
What makes EA different?
The Fishers use recycled veggie oil in their tour vans, offer organic meals on their tours (which they grow in their own organic garden), have invested hundreds of thousands in the solar paneling of their shops and own home, recycle/compost EVERYTHING from water bottles to bicycle tires and all vegetarian food scraps, have public recycling bins in front of the store, offer their employees $5/day to ride a bike rather than drive and of course, purchase clean energy credits- which is all most companies can attest to. Jared is currently looking into turbine power as well as Nevada is one of America's windiest cities.
The Fishers have been married 18 years, (and if Jared didn't have a touch of grey you'd swear they were early 20's), have 3 sons, Orion 10, Dakota 8 and Phoenix 5, (all of whom are mirror images of their father), and a thriving business that is genuinely one of a kind. This couple's energy and positivity is contagious, and will impress just about anyone who has the chance to see what they practice first and preach later. Jared is the kind of guy who does a triathlon and then goes for a hike later the same day. Heather, also a competitive bike rider, is responsible for creating the coalition which banned big rig trucks from driving the Red Rock Highway 15 9, keeping it safe for bikers. This next weekend she will host her own event, Diamond Kids- a triathlon for children ages 5-10. The American dream is alive and well, even in a city like Las Vegas.
*If these two are products of their environment, we all should live in it. They've found the real fountain of youth! Take care of the earth and it will take care of you.
The Fishers take being the World's First Carbon Neutral Business very seriously, as many other like businesses claim to be sustainable ( not polluting the earth with carbon dioxide emissions), the reality is that they are only buying energy credits, thus adding to a worldwide marketing ploy that is exploiting the green movement.
The Green Controversy- While companies are writing a check so they can claim they are running green, they are essentially PAYING TO POLLUTE, and misleading the public, thus exploiting the real issue, whereas the Fishers are the real, honest, hard working- deal.************************************************************************************************************
Escape Adventures is audited by a third party company called Sustainable Travel International; a relatively new company and concept which should be adopted throughout the world of honest, eco-conscious companies, large and small. Currently having over 1200 members worldwide, STI has extremely stringent sustainability guidelines. Rating are 1-5, 5 being the best possible rating, and is nearly impossible to receive. Escape Adventures is currently very few points away from a very impressive 4 rating.

This Country Needs a Few Good Communists
Posted on May 31, 2010
By Chris Hedges
The witch hunts against communists in the United States were used to silence socialists, anarchists, pacifists and all those who defied the abuses of capitalism. Those "anti-Red" actions were devastating blows to the political health of the country. The communists spoke the language of class war. They understood that Wall Street, along with corporations such as British Petroleum, is the enemy. They offered a broad social vision which allowed even the non-communist left to employ a vocabulary that made sense of the destructive impulses of capitalism. But once the Communist Party, along with other radical movements, was eradicated as a social and political force, once the liberal class took government-imposed loyalty oaths and collaborated in the witch hunts for phantom communist agents, we were robbed of the ability to make sense of our struggle. We became fearful, timid and ineffectual. We lost our voice and became part of the corporate structure we should have been dismantling.
Hope in this age of bankrupt capitalism will come with the return of the language of class conflict. It does not mean we have to agree with Karl Marx, who advocated violence and whose worship of the state as a utopian mechanism led to another form of enslavement of the working class, but we have to speak in the vocabulary Marx employed. We have to grasp, as Marx did, that corporations are not concerned with the common good. They exploit, pollute, impoverish, repress, kill and lie to make money. They throw poor families out of homes, let the uninsured die, wage useless wars to make profits, poison and pollute the ecosystem, slash social assistance programs, gut public education, trash the global economy, loot the U.S. Treasury and crush all popular movements that seek justice for working men and women. They worship only money and power. And, as Marx knew, unfettered capitalism is a revolutionary force that consumes greater and greater numbers of human lives until it finally consumes itself. The nightmare in the Gulf of Mexico is the perfect metaphor for the corporate state. It is the same nightmare seen in postindustrial pockets from the old mill towns in New England to the abandoned steel mills in Ohio. It is a nightmare that Iraqis, Pakistanis and Afghans, mourning their dead, live each day.
Capitalism was once viewed in America as a system that had to be fought. But capitalism is no longer challenged. And so, even as Wall Street steals billions of taxpayer dollars and the Gulf of Mexico is turned into a toxic swamp, we do not know what to do or say. We decry the excesses of capitalism without demanding a dismantling of the corporate state. The liberal class has a misguided loyalty, illustrated by environmental groups that have refused to excoriate the Obama White House over the ecological catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico. Liberals bow before a Democratic Party that ignores them and does the bidding of corporations. The reflexive deference to the Democrats by the liberal class is the result of cowardice and fear. It is also the result of an infantile understanding of the mechanisms of power. The divide is not between Republican and Democrat. It is a divide between the corporate state and the citizen. It is a divide between capitalists and workers. And, for all the failings of the communists, they got it.
Unions, organizations formerly steeped in the doctrine of class warfare and filled with those who sought broad social and political rights for the working class, have been transformed into domesticated partners of the capitalist class. They have been reduced to simple bartering tools. The social demands of unions early in the 20th century that gave the working class weekends off, the right to strike, the eight-hour day and Social Security have been abandoned. Universities, especially in political science and economics departments, parrot the discredited ideology of unregulated capitalism and have no new ideas. Artistic expression, along with most religious worship, is largely self-absorbed narcissism. The Democratic Party and the press have become corporate servants. The loss of radicals within the labor movement, the Democratic Party, the arts, the church and the universities has obliterated one of the most important counterweights to the corporate state. And the purging of those radicals has left us unable to make sense of what is happening to us.
The fear of communism, like the fear of Islamic terrorism, has resulted in the steady suspension of civil liberties, including freedom of speech, habeas corpus and the right to organize, values the liberal class claims to support. It was the orchestration of fear that permitted the capitalist class to ram through the Taft-Hartley Act in 1948 in the name of anti-communism, the most destructive legislative blow to the working class until the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). It was fear that created the Patriot Act, extraordinary rendition, offshore penal colonies where we torture and the endless wars in the Middle East. And it was fear that was used to see us fleeced by Wall Street. If we do not stop being afraid and name our enemy we will continue toward a state of neofeudalism.

Rain through Ute Pass makes some drivers nervous
TELLER COUNTY, Colo. - As the rain fell and some drivers nervously made their way down Highway 24, the Colorado Department of Transportation was keeping watch.
Bob Wilson, a spokesman for CDOT, said after two floods so far this summer -- including one that closed the highway because cars were swept away by mud -- the road safety organization is on high alert during every storm that prompts a flood watch or warning.
Wilson said CDOT had crews watching for flooding in Waldo Canyon and other crews on standby waiting to jump into action and clear the highway of mud and rocks if necessary.
Drivers we found in Teller County said it was definitely on their minds as they went through Ute Pass.
"I didn't know if we'd be able to get back home because of the rain," said Shannon Stefan, a Cripple Creek resident who traveled to Colorado Springs Friday with her husband to sell scrap metal.
"Last week, we wanted to go to the auction and never got to it," said Thomas Stefan.
He drove through Ute Pass with one eye on the road and another on the canyon walls.
CDOT said when it's not watching for flood water, it's working to keep culverts clear of fire debris to prevent highway flooding and give drivers some peace of mind.
"That would be great if they could figure out a way to keep it from sliding into the roads and ensuring motorists that things are going to be safe on the road," said Thomas.

Greensboro, N.C.-The Atlantic Coast Conference Wednesday announced the inaugural All-ACC Football Team as selected by the league's 12 head coaches.
This year, for the first time under the auspices of the ACC, the league's 12 head football coaches voted for an All-ACC football team, as well as Players of the Year, Rookies of the Year and a Coach of the Year award. Coaches were not allowed to vote for their own players and cast ballots for two points for first-team and one point for second-team selections.
Clemson, Florida State and North Carolina each had five players chosen to the first team, though UNC actually had six first-team picks as running back Giovani Bernard was named to the first-team offense as a running back, while also earning first-team specialist accolades. Nine Tar Heels were named to either the first or second team.
The 2012 Coaches All-ACC team was similar to the All-ACC squad announced last week by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association (ACSMA), as the two voting bodies agreed on all of the major award winners.
The Coaches All-ACC first-team differed from the ACSMA team only at three positions, choosing Duke senior wide receiver Conner Vernon over Boston College's Alex Amidon; North Carolina offensive tackle James Hurst over Clemson's Brandon Thomas, and Virginia Tech linebacker Jack Tyler instead of Virginia's Steve Greer. Amidon, Thomas and Greer were all second-team picks.
In all, there were four unanimous first-team selections (22 points) in Clemson's Tajh Boyd and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, and North Carolina's Bernard on offense and Florida State defensive end Cornellius Carradine on defense.

NO. 5 APTOS (8-2, 6-0 SCCAL) VS. NO. 4 SARATOGA (6-4, 3-4 SCVAL-De Anza)
TIME: 7 p.m. PLACE: Saratoga High, 20300 Herriman Avenue, Saratoga. LAST YEAR: Did not play. NOTES: For the second year in a row, the Mariners enter the Central Coast Section Division III playoffs as champions of the Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League. And, just like last season, they have won eight straight games since falling to Oakdale in Week 1. But in order to snap from a recent string of first-round exits in the postseason, including last year's loss to eventual champion St. Ignatius, No. 5 Aptos will need to outlast No. 4 Saratoga. The Falcons finished fifth in the De Anza Division of the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League -- an "A" league -- and have lost two of their last three games. But Saratoga comes armed with junior quarterback Jonathan Walters, who has thrown for 3,234 yards this season -- tops in the CCS, according to maxpreps.com. The 5-foot-11, 175-pound signal caller has completed 67 percent (266 of 398) of his passes for 38 TDs and 11 INTs. "Their junior quarterback is one of the best junior quarterbacks around, one of the best in the entire Central Coast Section," said Aptos coach Randy Blankenship, whose team has focused on its pass defense the last five weeks in practice. "I think our kids are ready to play," Blankenship said. "Saratoga throws the heck out of the ball. We run the ball. It's a great matchup." The Falcons, who average 37 points and 344 yards per game, run four-wideout sets. Passing the ball 66 percent of the time this season, Saratoga has several standout receivers, including Kyle Dozier, who caught 82 balls for 1,231 yards and 14 TDs -- No. 1 in the CCS, according to maxpreps.com. Other wideouts include junior Grant Faylor (61 rec., 768 yards, 7 TDs) and Stephen Ruff (37 rec., 515 yards, 4 TDs). "They have a lot of YAC possibility," Blankenship said of the receivers, reffering to the statistic "yards after catch." "Their offense does a nice job. Their defense isn't big, but they all run to the ball." For as potent as Saratoga is in the passing game, Aptos is equally as dangerous in the running game. The Mariners' wing-T attack again proved difficult to stop, averaging 358 rushing yards a game this season, and more than 400 yards rushing in three of their last four games. Aptos, which averaged 37 points per game, is led by Aaron McAnerney (108 att., 742 yards, 8 TDs), Billy Walls (101 att., 577 yards, 3 TDs), Elijah Marta (76 att., 513 yards, 8 TDs) and Brodie Bennet (72 att., 626 yards, 8 TDs). "The team that wins is the one that's going to be able to impose its will on the other," Blankenship said. In its last five postseason appearances -- ever since it won the Division II championship in 2003 -- Aptos has lost in the first round. In their last three postseason appearances (2006, 2010, 2011), the Mariners have lost in the first round to the eventual champion. The winner will face either No. 1 Monterey (8-2) or No. 8 Soledad (6-4) in the semifinal round.
TIME: 7 p.m. PLACE: Pacific Grove High, 615 Sunset Drive, Pacific Grove. LAST YEAR: Carmel won, 69-42. NOTES: The Knights return to the CCS Division IV playoffs for the first time since 2007, when they were eliminated in the first round by top-seeded Pacific Grove. Soquel finished runner-up in the SCCAL this year, winning six of their last seven games and eight overall. Soquel defeated Carmel 48-20 on Sept. 8 behind a 21-point second quarter and 467 rushing yards on 58 attempts. RB Fabiano Hale ran for 178 yards and four TDs on 18 carries, while teammate Ryan Reyes had 151 yards rushing and two TDs on 20 carries. Defensively, the Knights held Carmel RB Holden Smith, who ran for 1,461 yards and 20 TDs this season, to 85 yards and one TD on 15 attempts. "We were able to corral him the last time," Soquel coach Ron Myers said of Smith. "To do that again, everyone has to play their position. But we had the ball most of the time in our first meeting." Myers said QB Connor Marden has improved since the previous meeting, too. Marden completed 70 percent of his passes this season for 2,172 yards with 28 TDs and three INTs. His leading WR, Thomas Spanos, caught 39 balls for 749 yards and 12 TDs. The signal caller was also second on the team in rushing, compiling 486 yards and six TDs. "Connor Marden is running the ball really well," Myers said. "He's added a second dimension to their run game." The Padres, CCS D-IV finalists a year ago, haven't lost since falling to Soquel earlier this season en route to winning the Mission Trail Athletic League. They are averaging 49 points and 493 yards per game. Soquel has lost twice, to Seaside and Aptos -- both champions of their respective leagues. The Knights, who run a double-wing offense, are led by their ground game, specifically Hale. The 6-foot-1, 215-pound senior has run for a school-record 1,840 yards and 34 rushing touchdowns, according to mbaypreps.com. The 220 points he's scored is a Santa Cruz County record as well. Hale has been spelled by Reyes, who finished the regular season with 591 yards rushing and seven TDs on 97 attempts, while Isacc Moreno ran for 339 yards and five TDs on 25 carries. "It's a big psychological game the second time around. The ball bounces different, the penalties are different ..." Myers said. "Obviously, we have to be motivated to shut them down a second time." The Knights have shut down their last two opponents, defeating Harbor and Santa Cruz by a combined 89-0 margin. Soquel hasn't been tested since Week 8, when it outscored San Lorenzo Valley 35-3 in the second half en route to a victory. "A lot of teams don't improve after the fourth game, but we've improved weekly," Myers said. "It's been fun to watch." The winner will face either No. 7 Pacific Grove (7-3) or No. 2 Sacred Heart Prep (9-1) in the semifinal round.
NO. 5 MVC (8-2, 4-2 MBL-P) VS. NO. 4 MENLO SCHOOL (8-2, 4-1 PAL-Ocean)
TIME: 7 p.m. PLACE: Sequoia High, 1201 Brewster Avenue, Redwood City. LAST YEAR: Did not play. NOTES: One year after reaching the CCS postseason for the first time in 12 years and just the second time in program history, Monte Vista Christian is once again back in the playoffs. This is the first time since the program's inception in 1992 that the Mustangs have reached the playoffs in consecutive years. The team earned an at-large berth after finishing in third place in the Monterey Bay League Pacific Division, winning three of its final four games of the regular season. Reaching the Division IV semifinals a year ago, the No. 5 Mustangs will need to upend No. 4 Menlo in order to advance to that round again. The Atherton school also won three of its final four games -- it lost its regular season finale 31-28 to crosstown rival Sacred Heart Prep. The Knights finished runner-up to South San Francisco in the Peninsula Athletic League Ocean Division -- a "B" league -- behind their highly touted junior quarterback, Jack Heneghan. Menlo coach Mark Newton nicknamed his signal caller "Baby Andrew Luck," according to the San Francisco Chronicle. "They say he's a junior. I'd say he's a sophomore in college," MVC coach David Reese said of Heneghan, who stands 6-foot-3, 215 pounds. "He's really good. And he's definitely going to play at the next level, if that's what he wants to do." Heneghan has completed 65 percent of his passes for 2,138 yards with 27 TDs and three INTs, according to maxpreps.com. Four different receivers -- Connor Stastny (45 rec., 743 yards, 13 TDs), Connor Paterson (34 rec., 505 yards, 2 TDs), Wiley Osborne (18 rec., 399 yards, 7 TDs) and Peter Bouret (14 rec., 305 yards, 5 TDs) -- have surpassed 300 yards receiving. Watching film of Menlo's game last week against SHP, Reese noted Heneghan's maturity and pocket presence. He said the QB was hit hard all game -- SHP recorded eight sacks -- but Heneghan was never rattled. "That's not normal of a high school kid. He's obviously very well coached," Reese said. "Most high school quarterbacks, if you put pressure on them they become skittish." The Mustangs will try to do as much, but they also plan to show several different packages and formations to try and keep Heneghan and Menlo's offense, which averages 49 points and 384 yards per game, uncomfortable. "If we have some success with a coverage," Reese said, "they'll eventually figure it out, so we'll have to change stuff up." Long drives by the Mustangs' offense, which averaged 41 points and 367 yards, could be beneficial. MVC's offense this season was well balanced, led by QB Nick Matiasevich. The senior signal caller threw for 1,976 yards with 22 TDs and two INTs. On the ground, Cody Washington (635 yards, 8 TDs) and Hugo Renteria (585 yards, 7 TDs) have helped keep opposing defenses honest. The winner will face either No. 1 Seaside (10-0) or No. 8 Capuchino (6-4) in the semifinal round.

Madison County celebrates centennial at the fair
REXBURG, Idaho - The Madison County Fair kicked off Thursday, and this year, there is extra reason to celebrate.
Madison County turns 100 this year. What better way to celebrate the centennial than by having the biggest fair ever in Madison County.
"We've been able to bring more people in and more vendors in, a lot of good support from the community," said Todd Smith, Madison County commissioner.
All of the favorite food and rides are back this year, as well as 4-H shows and entertainment. The carnival is nearly three times bigger than last year.
"We are just excited, with the centennial, to be here. We have big events planned for this year. We have had a party all year," Smith said.
The party goes on with the biggest event of the fair: a concert and fireworks show Saturday night.
"For this area to have Starship and Sawyer Brown, that's a big deal," said Vicki Grover, co-chairman of the Centennial Celebration.
Besides the usual fare, the fair will celebrate the centennial with pins, books and more.
"We have created a throw [blanket] with pictures of the historic buildings of Madison County. We created a token of Beaver Dick who was an early trapper and mountain man, and he was quite a colorful character in this area," said historian Lowell Parkinson.
In the next building over is a special wall of family brands. These brands are part of Madison County's history, with some even outdating the county. The oldest is from 1850.
"There are a lot of folks who have a brand that was passed down from their grandfathers, and their grandfathers' grandfathers," said Grover.
Friday night fairgoers can see animals in action at a rodeo, and there is plenty more to do.
"Also Friday night there is a big dance, a youth dance that is going to be set up in a big tent, and part of the profits of that do go to some charities. Madison County Cares and Madison County Search and Rescue," Smith said.
"This is an incredible fair, and it's an incredible heritage and we would like to invite everybody out," said Parkinson.
The centennial celebration will keep going even after the fair ends Sunday. The next event is a hike to Rexburg's highest point on Sept. 7.

Concerned about violating DNA donor confidentiality, U.S. research agency sticks with decision to limit data exchange
Catherine Clabby
The U.S. government's heralded plan to help researchers freely share some genetic research data online to speed up disease research is now a dream deferred.
The National Human Genome Research Institute is sticking with a decision, made last summer, to remove free-access, pooled genomics data it started posting on the Internet in 2006. Other high profile research organizations, including the Broad Institute, are doing the same.
The retreat began after investigators at Arizona's Translational Genomics Research Institute and colleagues discovered how to detect individual genetic profiles in pools of 1,000 or more DNA donors. Their bioinformatics tools are so brawny that they produced positive donor IDs even from averaged data alone, which were all that the institute was sharing freely.
Geneticists, like all scientists, usually champion data sharing. But people who donate DNA for research studies typically are assured that their identities will remain confidential. Government officials were no longer certain they could keep that promise.
"We must protect the rights of the individuals participating in the studies," said Laura Lyman Rodriguez, senior advisor to the genome research institute director.
Rodriguez acknowledges that the risk of revealing a donor's identity is very small. A detailed genomic profile of a person would be required to make a positive ID in a research database using the new bioinformatics approach.
In fact, the risk of slowing disease research might be greater. A changed protocol requiring NIH approval to use the once-free-access data could delay or maybe even prevent some studies, some scientists say.
"If you are a run-of-the-mill bioinformatics person trying to find correlations, this is going to hinder you," said Brad Malin, an assistant professor at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, who evaluates genetic-data privacy approaches.
In 2006, National Institutes of Health officials hailed its inclusion of open-access data in the now modified database called Genotype and Phenotype (dbGaP) as a significant stride toward making the most of disparate genetic studies. Access to individual sequences, scrubbed of any identifying information, always required authorization from various institute review panels. But averaged data was to be available simply for the taking.
Most illnesses have multiple genetic roots. Of great interest are patterns of variation in single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPS), which are single-point mutations in a genome. Pooled results of large genetic studies are good places to hunt for genetic patterns within diseases.
At the time the data were pulled last summer, the open-access portion of dbGaP data included information on genetic variation observed in people with asthma, prostate cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, among other serious ailments.
Scientists had downloaded data 491 times before access was limited, Rodriguez said. The most popular genetic data were part of the sizable Framingham Heart Study.
The desire to make the most of such genetic studies remains very much alive, said David Altshuler, the director of the program in medical and population genetics at the Broad Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts. But the ground is shifting fast beneath geneticists' feet, and they must respond, he said.
For one, said Altshuler and others, the number of retail genomics companies willing to sequence people's DNA for fees is growing. No one truly knows into whose hands such data could fall and how it might be used. One could imagine nothing good coming of an enemy's discovery that a person enrolled in a study on drug or alcohol addiction, say, or for the genetic profile of a degenerative disease.
At the same time, law enforcement is expanding the way it uses DNA to track suspects, even innocent relatives of suspects in crime cases. In one case, investigators secretly obtained from a medical clinic a DNA sample that belonged to the daughter of a suspected serial killer to hasten their detective work. That sort of thing could conceivably happen one day with genetics research data.
"There is social good in sharing data, but it doesn't trump all other things," Altshuler said.
David Karp, a physician and genetics researcher at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, said he suspects that people participating in genetic studies might be more willing to accept these sorts of risks than people deciding how to share data believe. One less-paternalistic way to deal with emerging threats to confidentiality, he said, is to inform donors that the risks exist and allow them to decide whether they are willing to live with that.
"Going forward, the way to solve this is to consent people in more contemplative ways," Karp said.
Rodriguez, the NIH official, said that improved consent models might be one route to making pooled data more freely available again. But figuring out how to do that responsibly will take time. Multiple questions must first be answered.
"How much do you tell people without scaring them? How do you communicate the level of risk? What level of risks are people willing to tolerate? How frequently do they want to be asked?" Rodriguez said, reciting some of them.
And the list only goes on from there. —Catherine Clabby

Hakkaisan Restaurant Week August 2014 at Rosanjin
Monday August 11th – Saturday August 23rd
Hakkaisan Sake Tasting Set $9.00
Featuring Hakkaisan's premium Sparkling Nigori, Junmai Ginjo and Nama Genshu
Rosanjin Tribeca was inspired by one of Japan's most celebrated food connoisseurs and artists, Rosanjin Kitaoji. Rosanjin revolutionized the idea of Japanese cuisine and achieved his lifetime quest for beauty and art through food.
For a limited time, we are offering a special sake flight to pair with your first class Kaiseki course. This sake set features 3 different kinds of clean and crisp Hakkaisan sake from Niigata Prefecture. Please enjoy the beautiful Japanese tradition of Kaiseki cuisine crafted by executive chef Shimazaki-san along with Hakkaisan, one of the most popular sakes in Japan.
About Rosanjin:
At its core, kaiseki is a celebration involving extraordinary attention to detail in every aspect of the dining experience. For this reason, and to provide impeccable and thorough service, our restaurant consists of only 9 tables. Just like the artist Rosanjin, we are dedicated to giving the utmost care to the process of kaiseki.
Every dish is intimately designed to stimulate the senses. Starting with the cuisine, our major ingredients are directly flown in from Japan each day. In addition, we take advantage of seasonally fresh local fish and quality produce, carefully chosen when available. This combination of ingredients combines to create a perfect balance of taste, texture, and aroma.
Every meal is decorated on precious porcelain and lacquer wear imported from Japan. The porcelain acts as a "kimono" for each dish, making it visually and aesthetically pleasing. Our servers then carefully present each course to you, culminating in an authentic kaiseki experience.
All of our kaiseki courses can be complimented with sake pairing. You can enjoy our selection of our sakes which are imported from various prefectures in Japan.
We invite you to join us for your next dining experience as you celebrate the art of food at Rosanjin Tribeca.

Most people are shocked that Kyle Williams is still in the league considering he sucks.
Most people are shocked that Kyle Williams is still in the league considering he sucks.
I'm not sure why everyone else is so butthurt over the Niners still talking and making excuses about the loss last season. I LOVE that we got in their heads and hate us so much. Have always hated the Whiners and thier fanbase. Minus the championships, they are the Eagles on the left coast.
I stopped fighting my inner demons. We're on the same side now.
The object is to hit the oppossing player that has the ball and try to rattle him. You hit him hard and you hit him clean. Kyle Williams has a history of sufferring from concussions and that means he may lose focus so the object was hat when Kyle Williams had the ball to hit him clean and hit him hard and to exploit that weakness. NY Giants didn't hit him in the head and we didn't take dirty shots at him. There was nothing wrong with what we did and it sounds like Kyle Williams has sour grapes. Also, he may just be frustrated because he turned the ball over once without being touched and another time with light contact while Eli Manning kept his poise better than any QB playing in NFL right now can considering the beating he took. Nobody crying about them going after Eli the way they did because that was obviously their plan and I don't blame them. Also, they hit Eli clean and fair.I guess we should take some solace that although we didn't make SuperBowl thia year that wr are still a poiny of focus during SuperBowl week.
williams did not lose that game for the 9ers..going 1-for 13 on 3rd down and not getting past the 50 yard line untill late in the game is what loset it for them!!!!!!!!!!!.. if they go 6 or 7 on 3rd down they win the game. it never goes in to OT!!!1
Kyle Williams really needs to shut his mouth. He's lucky his life wasn't taken from his own fan base.
The whole 49ers' intelligence has been leaking through media week. Hilarious.
This is why Im now rooting for the Ravens, that and the comments that Moss said about being the best all-time and the anti-gay comments by whatshisface. Moss hasn't done anything in years and even behind Tom Brady he was non-existent. They're all talk and seem bitter...
I can't believe Ill be rooting for the Ravens but it out weights the other, as Wes Welker's wife pissed me off too with her comments.
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.

Is there no more Descendants Fan chart option available? Only Ancestors is selecable in the drop-down list.
I have been using MyHeritage for about two weeks now, have been having a blast with it. Had a bit of a jump on things since I had some material provided in hard copy that I transfered into electronic format and once I got use to the interface things started clicking along nicely.
Along the way I generated a couple of small charts to see what they looked like. That was about a week and a half ago when I was about 300 people.
Earlier this weekend I attempted to generate a chart and this is the steps that I took:
Option 1 - I have tried All-in-One & Sun Chart
Option 2 - Style 10 and Style 11
Option 3 - Main Person: Myself with my Spouse
Title: Our Family Tree
Facts for Individuals: Dates of Birth and death
Generations: Show all generations
Printing method: Mutiple pages with the options Prevent boxes from crossing page boundries selected and paper size set for letter set
After a about an hour or so the system finally spits out:
Please generate the chart again
This has happened several times. I expected it to take a bit to generated with over 1200 people but I don't expect it to crash, I am sure there are others who have generated trees much larger than what I have gotten so far and this is not even half of what I have to input, I have a 30 page document listing the generations for my mother's side that was prepared off the LDS database arriving later this week and expect the tree to double if not quadruple within the next two weeks.
When all is said and done I expect to be able to generate and order complete charts for the heads of the various families. How can this be accomplished if your system keeps biting the dust every time I attempt to generate a chart?

Hey everyone, I can't think of how to search for this online, and I know there is quite a variety of people on this board.
I have a laptop, and I never use the DVD Drive. I know the drive is basically the same as one in a desktop. My question is, is there anything out there that I can buy that replaces the DVD drive with something else, such as say, more USB ports?
I'm not entirely sure if this is possible and it's hard to search for it without getting guides to replace a DVD drive tutorial.
Thanks everyone!

Dan & Georgeta,
June 2016

The personalized map/letter at arrival let you feel really welcome.
Gary and Debbie could help us with all questions we had and gave us good advices for spending our time in Vancouver.
The Queen Elizabeth Park (well worth seeing, Skyline-view) is in 10 min walking distance. The next Subway Station is within 5 min walking distance.
The area is quit and safe with near restaurants and shops.
We stayed at Garry and Debbie's place again on our way back from Alaska. Having previous experience of their hospitality from a week prior, we knew that we were going to have a very good stay there. On our arrival we were greeted with: "welcome home". And that was how we felt again. Our hosts are the nicest hosts we have ever met. We strongly recommend their place to other visitors.
Our stay at Garry and Debbie's place was perfect. The accommodation was very nice, Garry and Debbie were wonderful, the most helpful hosts we have ever met.
We wish them all the best and recommend their place to other guests. By the way, we already booked another stay with them on our way back from Alaska.
Lovingly furnished apartment. Gary and Debby welcome you warmly.
With fine weather it is pleasant to relax in the beautiful garden.
Their cinnamon pastry is to feast!

Iver & Evi
We were impressed with the Bacchus suite and enjoyed our short stay in Vancouver. Gary & Debbie were the perfect hosts with the warmest of welcomes, great advice and recommendations! We would definitely recommend and would stay here again. The suite is comfortable and well equipped for a short stay in a quiet space but well located with easy and quick links into the very heart of Vancouver.

Ore. higher ed support staff could strike
Talks resume before new semester begins
CORVALLIS, Ore. - The university system in Oregon and its student services workers are set to bargain again Friday for a new contract -- and the stakes are suddenly higher, as the workers have voted to strike within 10 days if agreements aren't reached over some key issues.
Chief among them is pay.
Union bargaining team chair Marc Nisenfeld says staff members have seen more, and higher-paid, administrators at the schools and big investments in athletics. So, they just don't believe the assertion that there isn't enough money for raises for workers such as janitors, security officers and secretarial staff.
"I'm not saying cancel those programs like sports programs that take a significant amount of money," he says. "But they have money to spend on things that they want to spend it on. I think that they just don't value the contribution, they don't value the work that we do."
The union, SEIU Local 503, wants no full-time worker to be paid less than the amount to qualify for food stamps for a family of four - that's about $2,500 a month.
Nisenfeld says the universities initially approved that request, but have since withdrawn their agreement. A strike could happen as soon as Sept. 23 -- one week before classes are set to begin at Oregon's seven state universities.
The support staffers want a cost-of-living increase over the next two years that totals 5 percent. The schools are offering 3.5 percent.
Nisenfeld says it doesn't sound like a big difference until the effective dates of the increases are factored in.
"With the implementation dates being so different -- like ours are applied on July 1st, theirs are Dec. 1st," he says, "that even if it were the same amount, we're looking at six months' worth of not receiving that increase. So it's a significant amount."
Nisenfeld says the universities also want to change the step system of pay increases based on years of service, doubling the time it would take to reach the top pay for a support job, from nine years to 18.
The two sides have been negotiating since February.

We have also considered telling her to walk away.
We have also considered telling her to walk away.
Now worth $85k
Can't sell (other owners have tried)
If they aren't selling, then how do you know it's worth $85k?
(another issue due to modad being removed because developer didn't pay for it)
If she walks away, it will be 6-12 months easily before she is forced out, maybe longer. At that rate, I'm guessing its about a $800 a month mortgage/HOA. So 12 months x $800 = $9600.
Once this low rate market runs its course, I imagine the gov't will do a walk away forgiveness program to encourage/allow buyers back into market at the more traditional interest rates historically., but it'll be 20% down or greater to qualify. That's where that $9600 may come in handy. BICBW
If it helps, I have a client bringing 50k to the table this week to closing. Bought 330k, sold 283k. And 283k is $3 higher per sq. ft. over any comp on market. So your daughter is in a crowded boat
So why dont the owners of these condos split the pay to have one installed? It would benefit all and raise the values.
Without one Im not sure how their sewage is working at all. Is this outside a city limits?
Tell her walk away and find a guy that makes alot of money so they won't have to depend on her credit to get another house.

Student Loan Interest Rates Drop for Fourth Straight Year
Bringing the Past to Life
Close-Up: Presidential Scholars Program
Tips for Parents
Helping Your Child! Exploring the Story of the Past
Student Loan Interest Rates Drop for Fourth Straight Year
Interest rates on federal student loans have dropped to 3.37 percentthe lowest point in nearly 35 yearssaving money for millions of borrowers, the U.S. Department of Education announced last month.
Compared to three years ago, when the interest rate was 5.99 percent, borrowers with $10,000 in student loan debt and a 10-year standard repayment plan can save $1,523 in interest over the life of the loan.
For borrowers with Stafford loans issued since July 1998, the new interest rate is 3.37 percent, down from 3.42 percent last year. For students who are still in school, within the sixmonth grace period or with deferred payment, the interest rate is 2.77 percent. The new rate for Parent PLUS loans is 4.17 percent.
Interest rates on most student loans are calculated based on formulas set by law. The formula used depends on whether the borrower is in school, in a grace period, has received a temporary deferment from repayment or is making payments.
Annually, 13 million students apply for federal student aid. This year, the Department expects to issue $52 billion in new loans to more than 7 million students and families.
President George W. Bush's Fiscal Year 2005 proposed budget includes several initiatives to help students pursue a higher education. Among these items are:
- $73.1 billion in available student aid, a 6 percent increase over the 2004 level;
- $12.9 billion for the Pell Grant program, an increase of $856 million for low- and middle-income students;
- $395 million for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Hispanic Serving Institutions; and
- An increase in loan limits for first-year students, from $2,625 to $3,000.

Bringing the Past to Life
By Cathy Gorn, College Park, Md.
During the 1982-83 school year, I saw my first National History Day (NHD) contest. The theme for the student program was "Turning Points in History," and it was indeed a major pivotal point in my life. Nearly 22 years later, I still work for the organization because it doesn't get old. It doesn't get old because I can think of nothing more powerful or exciting than to have an effect on a young person, to change a life in some positive wayto watch the light bulb go on and feel that I had something to do with that. NHD does that for nearly 1 million young people each year. Our influence extends to the barrios of Los Angeles, to inner-city Houston, to Navajo and Lakota Indian reservations, to small, rural midwestern towns and to wealthy and middle-class suburbs.
The NHD program brings the past to life for students and teachers. Middle and high school students present historical research in papers, table-top exhibits, dramatic performances and multi-media documentaries. These products are entered into contests at local, state and national levels and are evaluated by professional historians and educators.
But National History Day is more than a contest. It is a rigorous yearlong program that requires young people to conduct extensive primary and secondary research, interpret information and draw conclusions about the meaning of the past. In the process, students examine topics within historical context, learning important content as well as valuable research, critical thinking and communication skills. It is an exercise in understanding democracy and citizenship, as students engage in an exploration of the conflicts and compromises, triumphs and tragedies, and rights and responsibilities embodied in our history.
The program also has a dramatic impact on the way in which teachers teach, inspiring educators to incorporate research techniques and primary source analysis into their regular classroom work. To help teachers enhance classroom history teaching and student learning, NHD offers professional opportunities that provide them with the latest in historical scholarship and innovative teaching methods.
Our teacher programs are crucial, as educators are sometimes not as well-prepared in their undergraduate courses to move their students beyond the textbook and through a meaningful study of the past. This means that some teachers need additional training to adequately understand the process of historical inquiry and build a solid foundation of knowledge about the past for themselves.
One of the most critical elements of our teacher programs is the NHD Summer Institute, through which educators receive instruction in historical content and teaching methods. These institutes bring teachers up-to-date on the latest in historiography and provide intensive instruction in accessing primary sources and using such material in the classrooms.
The NHD Summer Institute helps teachers change their classroom practices and engage their students in a truly rigorous examination of history. After her teacher returned from our 2002 institute on the Civil Rights Movement, Brittany Hess, a seventh-grader at Fruitvale Junior High School in Bakersfield, Calif., participated in a lesson on civil rights and wrote:
"We all cover segregation in elementary school, but it was made so that it didn't look like things were so bad. This was the 'real deal.' We as seventh-graders got exposure to the real world. The way this was presented made us want to keep exploring and learn more."
Especially telling is the sentiment expressed by Brittany's teacher, Lori Maynard: "Indeed, the best moment of the lesson was when I gave a student who was 'always doing what he is not supposed to be doing' the Declaration of Independence. He actually read it and was interested in it! None of my students had ever seen the Declaration of Independence, and all of them studied it quite deliberately when they had it in their hands. These documents are a sacred part of our history as Americans. I did not realize how truly special they were until I shared them with my seventh-graders."
Our task now is to continue this effort and encourage all teachers to engage their students in a meaningful study of the past. In so doing, we will help young Americans prepare themselves to meet the challenge of forming "a more perfect union." It is my sincere hope that when the next generation becomes old enough to vote in local, state and national elections, it will do so only after thinking critically about the nation's past and its legacy for the future.
Cathy Gorn is executive director of National History Day and a history professor at the University of Maryland at College Park, the institutional home of NHD. She also serves on the White House Historical Association Board of Trustees.
Close-Up: Presidential Scholars Program
This month, U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige and the Commission on Presidential Scholars will welcome to Washington, D.C., 141 graduating high school seniors who represent some of the nation's top students. The 2004 Presidential Scholars will be recognized for their outstanding academic achievement, artistic excellence, leadership and community service during the program's National Recognition Week, June 19-22. The week culminates in the presentation of the Presidential Scholars Medallion to the students in a ceremony sponsored by the White House.
Established in 1964 by executive order of the president, this prestigious program for the past 40 years has honored more than 5,000 Presidential Scholars. This year's candidates qualified on the basis of outstanding performance on the College Board SAT and ACT assessments; or nomination through the talent search conducted by the program's nonprofit partner, the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts. Scholars are chosen on the basis of broad academic achievement, essays and transcripts, as well as evidence of community service and commitment to high ideals.
The U.S. Department of Education partners with the Commission on Presidential Scholars, a 28-member group appointed by President George W. Bush, which made the final selection from a field of 2,700 applicants. The 141 winners include one young man and one young woman from each state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and from U.S. families living abroad; 15 students at-large; and up to 20 students who have excelled specifically in the creative and performing arts.
"These young Americans are proof of what students can achieve when met with high academic standards, challenging expectations and high-quality teaching," said Secretary Paige. "These scholars are examples to us all of the great potential that lies within our children and our schools."
Presidential Scholars alumni have included a Pulitzer Prize winner, poet laureate, a heart and lung transplant surgeon and a novelist, as well as film and stage actors, teachers, attorneys, and chemical and software engineers.
For more information on the Presidential Scholars Program, visit www.ed.gov/programs/psp/index.html or call 202-401-0961.

For a complete listing, visit www.neh.gov/projects/summertimefavorites.html.
Note: The reading list does not necessarily represent the views of the U.S. Department of Education or its employees, and the information provided here is only one of many resources that parents, students and educators may find helpful and use at their option. The Education Department does not mandate or prescribe particular curricula or lesson plans, and the inclusion of this list does not represent an endorsement of any views or products mentioned.
Helping Your Child! Exploring the Story of the Past
Studying U.S. history enables us to learn about our nation's traditions, values and organizing principles, while world history affords us the opportunity to discover other cultures.
The latest release of the U.S. Department of Education's Helping Your Child series examines the importance of studying the story of people and events and the record of times past. Helping Your Child Learn History is designed to help families prepare their children to achieve the lifelong task of finding their place in history by helping them learn what shaped the world into which they were born.
Employing the latest research, the booklet is largely comprised of activities that can be performed at home for children in preschool through grade 5. It includes, for example, a simple recipe for Native American fry bread as a means of exploring the history of these first Americans.
