The extraordinarily rich engineer John Grill did a fine thing handing over $20 million to his alma mater, the University of Sydney. A number of the institution's big wigs were assembled for the announcement last month, basking in the glow of this munificence. The money will go to a centre for executive leadership training, to be created in Grill's name.
Eighteen months ago the university bestowed one of its honorary doctorates on Grill in recognition of his exceptional work in the field of engineering.
Dr Michael Spence climbed into the saddle as the university's vice-chancellor in 2008. Since then the institution has raised more than $220 million from gifts, bequests and other private handouts.
Harvesting money is one of the main tasks of a modern head of an academic institution, and Doc Spence is so good at it that the university senate has given him another five-year contract as VC and principal.
We don't know the fine details of how Grill's fortune is to be managed by the university, the proportion of interest of the capital fund that is to be spent each year on the new learning centre, whether unspent amounts have to be returned to the fund, how the money will be invested, and so on.
It's one thing getting these handsome handouts, it is quite another thing managing them.
It has not been plain sailing for another of Sydney University's notable donors.
In 2005-06, and earlier, the estates of George and Margaret Henderson bequeathed about $17 million to the Conservatorium of Music.
George Henderson was behind the development of one of Australia's biggest pastoral holdings, before it was sold to Dalgety in 1963. There were 19 properties in his company, spread across NSW, Queensland and Western Australia.
He also helped to establish the Flying Doctor Service and the Far West Children's Health Scheme.
He lived at ''Rannoch'', near Blayney, NSW. In 1951 Henderson married Margaret Doyle, the first female radio announcer on the ABC. Together they were great lovers and patrons of the arts, particularly classical music and opera.
They would frequently travel from Blayney to Sydney for concerts. Out of this grew a commitment to leave a large part of their respective estates to the Conservatorium of Music and to establish student scholarships in operatic singing, piano and violin.
George died in July 1991 and his wife in 2002. The Con was absorbed into the University of Sydney in 1990.
One of the trustees of the Henderson estates is George Henderson's niece, Mary Turner.
In 2008 she began asking Spence for audited accounts of the Henderson bequest, relating to how much income has been generated and allocated, the fees charged and the amounts augmented to the capital sum.
Initially she got some figures from Spence, but they were not audited for her purposes of assisting the trustees to ''determine whether the bequests are being applied in accordance with the terms of [the] wills''.
Spence explained: ''The university does not undertake audits of individual bequest accounts as it is not practical or feasible to do so.''
Ultimately, some audited numbers did arrive, and they showed that by 2007 the market value of those funds had grown to $21.5 million. In addition there was another $2 million received from the Tax Office by way of dividend imputation credits.
By the following year, however, the total funds had shrunk to $17.8 million. The university also charges a fee to administer these funds.
The funds now contain between $16 million and $17 million and the trustee wants to know what measures have been taken to keep the capital sum in a preserved trust.
The former dean of the Con, Kim Walker, is in the process of suing the University of Sydney.
An affidavit from Mary Turner about her concerns as to the university's alleged lack of transparency about the Henderson bequest has been filed in that damages action.
Unhappy trustees are the last thing a beneficiary wants.
So George and Margaret were generous to the university through their endowment of the conservatorium, but Sydney University was not their alma mater. It was a pure love of music and wanting to help talented students that motivated them. This was not a gift with an eye on a big tax break.
Chuck Feeney, the Irish-American duty-free billionaire, has been doling out vast chunks of his fortune, some of it to Australian universities, through his organisation the Atlantic Philanthropies.
His alma mater, Cornell University, has received almost $1 billion worth of his philanthropy.
Feeney is part of the Warren Buffett, Bill Gates give-till-you-drop club. These are people with so much money that it has become meaningless unless it is being funneled into projects they feel are worthwhile and will live on beyond them.
They all have their own foundations and it is more than likely that the gifts of money would be tightly regulated by those organisations.
I suspect these gifts are not quite of the blank cheque variety.
In July it was revealed that the Welsh-born venture (''vulture'') capitalist Michael Moritz would be giving the equivalent of $114 million to his university of Oxford, and for the worthwhile initiative of establishing scholarships for the poorest 10 per cent of undergraduate students who attend that university.
This is in memory of Moritz's father, who also got a degree from Oxford on a scholarship, after getting out of Nazi Germany as a teenager.
In the age of impoverished tertiary institutions, universities are more than ever dependent on plutocrats who want memorials to their fathers, glory for their goodness, tax breaks, or the enrichment of the species.
One thing halls of learning should, by now, have discovered is the importance of providing a happy experience for students and being really nice to them.
You never know when that wretch who limps along in the bottom half of the class will endow you with riches beyond the dreams of Croesus.

Ten chairman leads week of big deals
Page Tools
Ten Network's executive chairman offloaded more than $16.5 million worth of scrip in the media company this week, saying the move was necessary to "repay loans", and for "financial planning purposes".
Nick Falloon sold 3.75 million shares for $16,537,500, but his commitment to the company is not in question, especially as it is the best performer in the sector and last week reported a 33 per cent lift in first-quarter earnings to a record $140 million.
Mr Falloon retains 1,875,000 shares worth $8,250,000 and holds 1,875,000 options, which he intends to exercise later this month.
Also selling yesterday was Wallace Cameron, the founder and former chief executive of pathology company The Gribbles Group.
Some of the 345,032,910 shares sold yesterday belonged to Mr Cameron's three adult children, the ultimate owners of a 43 per cent stake in the company that Mr Cameron has only ever maintained he "speaks for". It would be interesting to know who "speaks for" the $121,675,784 yielded by the sale.
Hospital operator Healthscope is now at the 90 per cent minimum acceptance threshold in its $284 million takeover of the company.
A posse of Macquarie Bank directors, led by chairman David Clarke, have added to their holdings in Australia's largest publicly traded investment bank.
Mr Clark exercised options to pick up 68,133 shares for $2.26 million, boosting his total holding in Macquarie Bank to 602,047 shares, worth $27 million.
Meanwhile, non-executive directors Catherine Livingstone, Barrie Martin, Peter Kirby and John Niland picked up smaller parcels, which ranged in value from $7459 to $55,512.
National Australia Bank chairman Graham Kraehe added a further 410 shares to his holding, while director Geoff Tomlinson bought 452.
Mr Kraehe holds 29,393 shares worth $823,591 while Mr Tomlinson's holding sits at 32,822 shares worth $919,672.

interview at another grad school, Northeastern University in Boston,
MA. The airline ticket was more than $600, but luckily, like U of I,
Northeastern would reimburse me for travel, hotel, and food. I flew
into Boston on Thursday night, spent all day Friday interviewing with
professors, Saturday I walked around and visited modern and historic
landmarks, and I meandered the streets looking for a few last things to
do on Sunday before returning to Seattle.
Once I arrived at the Midtown Hotel on Huntington Street Thursday night I threw my bags into the room and went off looking for supper. My wandering brought me to
The Globe restaurant and bar in Copley Square, which, unknown to me at
the time, is home to the Trinity Church and the Boston Public Library.
A group of middle school English students was also staying at the
Midtown Hotel; their heavy accents made Boston seem like London, and
for a moment it felt like I hadn't been booted from the UK. The Midtown is straight across the street from the Christian Science Mother Church; the view from my room included its giant golden dome and plaza as well as the Prudential Center, an upscale shopping mall in downtown Boston.
The interviewing process at Northeastern, to my surprise, was even more laid back than Illinois. Though I did meet and interview with many professors, there was no admissions committee sitting across the table, no "why should we pick you" questions, and no people competing for the same spot in the lab. My interest in Antarctic fish biology is what brought me to apply to both Illinois and Northeastern. I am interested in the research of Dr. H. William Detrich III, who studies the evolution and biochemistry of erythropoeisis (red blood cell formation) in Antarctic fishes. Jon and Joyce, his grad students from New York City, currently investigate the molecular pathways of globin formation, an essential process in the creation of red blood cells. I also spoke with Frederick Davis, the head of the biology department, Jacqueline Piret, the graduate student advisor, and professors Phyllis Straus, Wendy Smith, and Rebeca Rosengaus about their research. The attitude and intelligence of everyone at NEU was what I have come to love about academia; it is sure to be a difficult decision where I will decide to obtain a graduate degree.
Once I had my fill of marine animals and U.S. history I decided to take myself on a date, dinner and a movie. Adrian Gilbert, the financial advisor for the Biology Dept. at NEU, had suggested a few places to visit while I wandered the city. The Italian restaurants in the North End (it doesn't matter which one) are a must for eating out in Boston.
Sunday I checked out of Midtown and started walking, with no destination in mind. I figured wherever I ended up when it came time to get to the airport I could just hail a cab. Copley Square was calling my name. When I visited Thursday night Trinity Church and the Boston Public Library were shrouded in darkness; now it was bright and clear. Wandering the streets tends to make a person hungry, and when a hungry person happens upon an awesome little pizzeria, well, that person tends to order a delicious homemade mushroom pepperoni pizza and eat the whole thing. That person, having been re-energized by pizza sauce and melty gooey mozzerela, would then be inclined to wander more streets, looking for more interesting places to visit.

Palin to Limbaugh: No, America's not ready for a third party
posted at 4:19 pm on November 17, 2009 by Allahpundit
Her interview with Barbara Walters had more memorable lines — calling the tea-party movement "beautiful," declining Letterman's invite because "I don't think that I'd want to boost his ratings" — but I'm giving you the Limbaugh clip because, well, meat this red simply must be served. If you can't spare 20 minutes, skip ahead to 6:55 and listen for five as Rush prods her on whether she fancies herself an "unanointed" outsider in the Doug Hoffman mold. This seems like his way of enlisting her to help tamp down the potentially destructive third-party fever being stirred by Beck and other members of the "we can't trust either party anymore" school. She's on Limbaugh's side here, which is all to the good, although she qualifies her answer by emphasizing how she's a fan of spirited primary battles. Unasked by Rush: Whether a particularly "spirited," a.k.a. bruising, fight between Crist and Rubio will leave enough Republicans so disgruntled as to suppress GOP turnout in the general election.
Other highlights: She shows off a little knowledge on Afghanistan and Iran at around 17:45 (not sure Reagan, who pulled out of Lebanon, is the best person to cite in this context, though) and finally answers a much-anticipated question on immigration. She's been suspect on that subject up until now; her brief answer here signals improvement, although I'd have liked to see Rush ask her squarely what she thinks about a path to citizenship given last year's unfortunate pander to Univision. Exit question: Is this too good to check? The thought of easy blog content in the form of another round of McCain/Palin drama is making my heart go pitter patter. Click the image to listen.

Teens looking for an inexpensive way to get a high-fashion dress or tuxedo to wear to their prom should sign up now so they can check out the offerings in person from Operation Prom this week.
In its ninth year, Operation Prom has helped thousands of area teens by collecting and distributing gently used (and sometimes unused) dresses, as well as arranging for free tuxedo rentals.
"Operation Prom is a great program," said County Executive Robert P. Astorino. "Westchester County is pleased to continue to cosponsor this program through our Department of Social Services."
The county helps publicize events, provides storage space for the gowns and allows the free use of the County Center for a dress giveaway.
Noel D'Allacco, the founder of the program, said, "Operation Prom has given out 4,100 dresses and hundreds of tuxedos since its inception. This year the first step in the process is digital. Teens who may be interested in our help should fill out an application as soon as possible."

Operation Prom is geared to helping teens from low-income households and those who live in shelters or group homes attend their prom at little or no cost. The Department of Social Services plays a vital role by connecting young women and men in their care with Operation Prom so that girls can pick out a dress at one of the giveaways and boys can receive a free tuxedo rental from Men's Wear House.
"Going to prom is an American rite of passage signifying the next step in life for young people entering adulthood. Noel has made it possible for teens to participate in prom,"said Social Services Commissioner Kevin McGuire.

A Hewlett-Packard shareholder filed a lawsuit against the company for an $8.8 billion writedown on Autonomy, the British analytics firm it acquired last year. When the deal was first announced, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison deemed the $11 billion buyout price inflated, a statement that today seems more valid than ever.
The unnamed stakeholder behind the suit accuses HP of issuing "issued false and misleading statements". The plaintiff claims that the company pushed through with the transaction with full knowledge of Automy's shaky financial circumstances, and puts the blame directly on its senior management. The court filing names CEO Meg Whitman, former chief executive Leo Apotheker, COO Catherine Lesjak and James Murrin, HP's CFO at the time, as defendants.
The investor could have a fairly strong case. For one, Hewlett-Packard only revealed the existence of the $8.8 billion gap a week ago during its earnings call, in spite of the fact the Autonomy takeover was announced in August 2011. And former employees of the British firm are starting to come forward with details of fishy accounting practices that HP should have taken into consideration.
According to these anonymous sources, Autonomy did not refrain from striking "round-trip transactions" with clients – a mutual exchange of products and services. And there are also reports of transactions that outright violet the law.
"The rules aren't that complicated," said Dan Mahoney of accounting research business CFRA, who covered Autonomy until it was acquired. He said neither U.S. nor international accounting rules would allow companies to recognize not-yet collected revenue from customers that might be at risk not to pay, which he said appears to be the case in some of Autonomy's transactions."
To top it all off, the FBI has launched an inquiry into the matter. Meg Whitman clearly has her work cut out for her, even if she didn't already have to worry about HP's faltering consumer and enterprise hardware businesses.
Despite the questionable accounting going on at Autonomy, SiliconANGLE founding editor Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins maintains Autonomy has a solid product. HP may have overpaid for Autonomy, but it may be worth working through this mess. Hopkins discusses this theory at length during this morning's NewsDesk segment with Kristin Feledy. See the full clip below.

Ripoff Report
vinesse wine club830 DenBeste Ct Windsor, California United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I received an email in early March 2010 stating that I had been selected to join the "Columbia House Wine Club". Being a member of Columbia House dvd club, I opened the email and found that the wine club in question was through a company called Vinesse in California. I called someone about two weeks later to inquire about joining andmentioned that I thought the six wines on the list they were going to send me were reasonably priced, fairly good quality wines from Napa, Santa Barbara, Paso Robles, Mendicino, etc. Having worked in the wine industry in Napa, CA from 2000-2007 before moving to Georgia, and knowing quite a bit about California wines, I agreed to sign up, being told by a woman named Angela that my six wines would be arriving in about a week and I would be charged $41.94 with NO shipping and handling. Plus, I would be receiving a welcoming gift of a two-bottle wine carrier.
My wines arrived April 12, 2010, and upon opening the box I was greeted by six LOW QUALITY wines, NONE of which were on the list of the wines I was promised. I called the 800 number (talked with Lindsay) and was told that all six of the promised wines were no longer available. I told her I did not want inferior wines, and wanted to return the six bottles. Lindsey told me that I would have to pay shipping and handling to UPS to return them.
I called back a few minutes later, asked to speak with a supervisor, was told that would not be possible because of the lateness of the hour (it was 5:25 P.M. on the east coast) and I mentioned that it was only 2:25 PM in CA. The representative informed me that she was on the east coast, and she would take my name and number and a supervisor would call me back. That never happened.
Having seen other ripoff reports stating that the wine club (Vinesse) was sponsored by airline companies, banks, etc, I believe that this FAKE wine club scam gets email addresses from member lists from such companies as Columbia House, Delta Air Lines, etc, and promotes their scam, hoping respondents think they are actually being part of a wine club sponsored by the group to which a member belongs (i.e. Columbia House).
I sincerely believe this "wine club scam" is doing a total disservice to legitimate wines clubs from specific wineries throughout the United States, and I implore anyone thinking of joining Vinesse Wine Club to be very, very careful, becuase what you think you will be getting for your money is NOT what you will actually receive!

Guide To Designing A Pet Game Part 0
Wow, I haven't used this journal in a while. The reason I am using it now is that one of the other forums I hang out at is specific to pet games, and there are a lot of newbies over there who want to make a pet game without having much clue what game design is, or what a design document is. I remarked that maybe I should make a guide explaining what a game design document is and how to design a pet game via making a design document for it. The forum owner and a few other people encouraged me to do so, so I am. But, there doesn't seem to be anyone at that forum with the knowledge or inclination to give constructive criticism on my guide. Not even typo-finding, apparently... And then by coincidence I saw two people in the design forum here saying that they didn't really know how to design, so I guess there must be more newbies here than I thought. They are probably not making pet games, but they might get something out of the guide anyway. So! I'm posting the guide here in pieces, asking for constructive criticism, and also to make it available here as a reference like my older writings in this Journal.
This document, created by Mare Kuntz (sunandshadow) in 2012, is a free, public guide to making a design document for a pet-themed game, including example pet game design document sections intended for reuse in readers' own game design documents. A design document is not the only way to develop a game; some people favor the alternate method called agile development. But, this document is aimed mainly at people who have little design and development experience, and IMO agile development works better for more experienced people, or for people who are more interested in learning than in making a specific game. I am providing this document as a community service and releasing it to the public domain. It is freely usable by anyone for both noncommercial and commercial purposes. For example, an indie game developer could use this as the basis for a design document for their own pet game. Or anyone doing a school project or teaching a class where they needed an example design document could use this. I would enjoy hearing from people who find this document useful (email@example.com), but you are not required to notify me if you make use of it. I am available as a consultant for game-design-related projects, but I do charge for that kind of service.

0. Introduction: Game Design Document – What? Why? How?
A game design document is a written description of proposed game. In this guide I am assuming you, the reader, want to create a game. This makes you the game designer. (Or a co-designer if you want to team up with someone who will also contribute ideas.) In order to create a game you must decide what kind of game you want to create. I am also assuming you are going to outsource some or all of the programming and art of your game to other people. The main purpose of a game design document is to paint a clear picture of a proposed game. The document describes what game parts (otherwise known as features) will be in the game, and how they will fit together. The process of creating a document helps a designer clarify their creative vision for a game and make sure there aren't any inconsistent or missing pieces. The finished document is a record of all the design decisions that have been made. It can be given to others, in whole or in part, as a quick clear way of communicating the designer's vision. It can also be used as a checklist to track which pieces of code, art, and other assets have been created, until everything is checked off and the game is done!
What? So, what is actually in a game design document? A game design document usually includes:
1. A statement of the designer (you) or design team's purpose that they want the game to accomplish. You can write this as a serious statement of philosophy if you really want to, but it doesn't have to be anything complicated; instead you can just say "This game will be awesomely fun to play because..." Optionally you can mention a favorite game that you want yours to be similar to, or what genre it will be, or what type of player will really like it. Typically this part will be 1-3 paragraphs long.
2. A list of features you want the game to have (this does double duty as your table of contents).
3. A description of each feature (these are the sections listed in the table of contents, the "meat" of your design document).
4. Appendixes listing all the characters, location, items, puzzles, monsters, etc. needed to complete the game. (These lists are often added later, after the main design document is done. So really there are only 3 main parts – nice and simple. But, if, in the middle of making your design document, you happen to decide something like: "There are going to be six classes of pets in my game: Sun, Moon, Star, Shadow, Plaid, and Rutabaga." then an appendix is where you file that kind of information so you know where to find it later.)
Why? What good is a game design document? How do you use it to help develop your game? As soon as you write a feature description it becomes useful because you can refer back to it when designing a related feature, so you don't forget what you decided. An in-progress design document is like a journal, but more organized because you will be showing it to other people as well as referring back to it yourself. If you are in a team, the design document serves as a record of what has been firmly decided and should not be squabbled over or changed without an important reason. The design document can also be a fast way to orient a new team member to what is going on.
Most importantly, when you have finished writing your design document the feature descriptions you have written are used as a guideline in the development process when programming a feature, creating graphics or sound files for that feature, and playtesting that feature. How? When hiring a programmer or an artist the design document is both a checklist of all the tasks that need to be done to make the game, as well as a source of bite-size "assignments" that your employee(s) can do one at a time. You can do this by copying and pasting from your design document in to an email or forum post to a team member or employee, or by simply showing them your whole design document. The same applies to tasks you are going to do yourself – if you get around to creating something a month after you initially designed it, re-reading what you wrote reminds you exactly what you decided to do and why.
A game design document is also helpful as an organizational tool for your whole development process; it can be used as a plan you can then follow step-by-step to develop your game. You can even check off within the game design document which tasks have already been completed by you and others. As these parts of the game are created, they form the alpha version of your game! And finally, material from a design document's statement of purpose and story section are often reused when creating promotional materials or a webpage for a game project or completed game, while material from the appendixes is often reused in item flavor text, NPC dialogue, and other places throughout the game.
How? Okay, so how do you make a game design document? You follow this guide! I will describe the various genres of pet game so you can identify which one you want to make. I will describe the various features commonly found in each genre so you will have a starting list of features your game should have. Because this document is public domain (copyright-free) you are welcome to copy and paste as much of it as you can use directly into your own design document. You can also modify it however you want if you want features different than described here. When there are two or three alternative versions of a feature I will try to describe the differences between them and which is better in what context, so you can pick which version you want to use, or you can use this as background knowledge when designing your own version of a feature. You will still need to create some of the material yourself, such as your statement of purpose, your story, names of characters and places, and all the parts where your own creativity is the essential ingredient. But following this guide should be much faster and easier than creating your own design document from scratch, and hopefully the list of example features I'll describe here will make the guide flexible enough to help people design a wide variety of games.

Monitor Staff Writer
MABANK–The Mabank Panthers fell in District 15-3A play to 1-6 after a hard-fought 38-35 loss to the Van Vandals Jan. 31 in Mabank.
The Mabank offense was lackluster in the first three quarters of play, and found itself down 28-15 after three quarters of play.
A fire was lit in the Panther players in the fourth quarter, scoring 20 points in the final eight minutes of action.
The comeback was not succesful, partly due to only one field goal in the third quarter, a two-pointer, by Cody Thompson.
Mabank was led in scoring by Austin Miller with 11 points and Parker Johannesen with 10.
Mabank travels to Brownsboro Feb. 7 as their schedule nears closure.


text: Hello people Ok today I started having this problem, I did a lot of mechanic work with my father in our shop, but we never did get much power steering problems so not real familiar with what this could be. It turns just fine to the left, but to try and turn to the right it is worse then manual steering, but only when at parking lot speeds, my guess is just having the wheels turning is helping and driving speeds, sometimes if you turn it hard to the right it will be way stiff and not want to turn, then all of a sudden it will go, like maybe there was a plug in the line or something, I doubt that though, anyway does any one have any ideas? Thanks in advance!! Terry

On Wednesday, August 17, the Ellis Davis Field House was converted into a "pop-up shop" to provide a special shopping experience for students at John Neely Bryan Elementary School and Boude Storey Middle School. The Dallas Mavericks Foundation provided giveaways and entertainment, along with 10 passes for 2 to in-season games. The Carter High School Marching Band, the Thomas Jefferson's Modern Band, Mavs Dancers, the Mavs Drumline and representatives from the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders provided live music and entertainment during the registration process. Belk provided more than $50,000 in uniforms to outfit more than 1,200 students so they can start the school year with confidence and enthusiasm, as well as alleviate the burden of purchasing these new items for their parents who may be struggling to make ends meet. Pat & Emmitt Smith Charities was pleased to deepen the impact of this event with additional community partners who are committed to providing critical services to Dallas families in need. DECA Dental provided onsite dental screenings and is offering follow up services for all children for six months; TONI&GUY Hair Salon and San Francisco Barbershop of Dallas provided haircuts; and The Essilor Vision Foundation provided on-site screenings and new glasses for children in need. Albertsons/Tom Thumb served lunch to every family that attended, as well as sending each family home with a bag of healthy groceries and non-perishable food.

On Saturday, December 19th an estimated 50,000 Southern Dallas residents gathered at Fair Park for the 17th Annual Christmas in the Park hosted by the S.M. Wright Foundation. Some came for basic necessities like clothes and food while others came to find a toy or bike to help make a child's Christmas wish come true. There was also a Coats for Kids section where brand new winter coats were handed out. Pat & Emmitt Smith, along with Reverend S.M. Wright II, kicked off this magical event with words of gratitude and a prayer to bless the day's event. Our Team 22 kids joined us to volunteer at registration and experience the joy of giving. Run by the S.M. Wright Foundation, a non-profit organization providing support and stability to inner-city underprivileged children and less fortunate families in the South Dallas/Fair Park community. The S. M. Wright Foundation helps many families in need, through its community program centers, the South Dallas Community Food Center, its South Dallas Community Resource Center, the Community Furniture Bank, the Dallas Financial Literacy and Tutoring Center, its Beds for Kids Center, as well as the Annual Christmas at Fair Park event.

On Saturday, September 26, Pat & Emmitt Smith Charities partnered with DECA Dental to host a dental screening for over three hundred 3rd – 5th grade students at George H.W. Bush Elementary School in Addison. The school gym was converted into a "dental lab" for students where they were screened by dentists. Ongoing dental treatments will be available at three DECA Dental locations over the next six months, free of charge.
"Healthy teeth not only enable you to look and feel good, they make it possible to eat and speak properly. Teaching children about brushing and flossing today may help them avoid complicated dental procedures tomorrow." said Emmitt Smith. "We are thrilled to be working with DECA Dental to provide hundreds of children with a winning smile and the gift of good dental health as they start a new school year."
Parents were able to visit with DECA Dental staff about their children oral health while the children played games, had their faces painted out in the courtyard and enjoyed fresh fruit and food provided by Albertson's. Inside, the DECA Dental staff put on performances for the kids to illustrate the importance of brushing and flossing and to answer questions from the kids themselves about how to best care for their teeth.
"DECA Dental is a local dental company that believes in giving back to the surrounding communities, here in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. We truly believe that children deserve the opportunity to achieve their own goals in life. DECA wants to give that child the first chance to have the beautiful smile they deserve. This is a golden step in achieving the self confidence the child needs to achieve their goals and be successful in school and life," Dr. Sulman Ahmed, D.M.D. CEO/Founder.

Stop Downplaying The Underfunding Of B.C. Schools
Dear Mike Bernier,
I write to you today regarding your recent comments about our public schools in B.C. and how you believe there are only a few small groups who believe there are funding issues.
I have to say that I am both shocked and disheartened to know that the very person charged with overseeing our public schools can be so blind to the very obvious issues plaguing our public education system.
I would like to give you the benefit of the doubt, as I am assuming you have spent little to no time in any of our public schools since obtaining your new position as minister of education. Personally I feel as though it should be mandatory for someone in your position to spend a substantial amount of time visiting the schools for which you are responsible for, which would help ensure that you are truly in touch with our education system and not simply following a pre-determined mandate of cuts and denial.
If you truly believe there are no funding issues in our public schools, then I assume you think it is the job of parents and PACs to raise upwards of $30,000 a year to supply basic necessities for their children's school.
Do you think a child's education should be absent of things like earthquake supplies, sports equipment, music equipment, sound systems for assemblies, basic classroom supplies, art supplies, recess equipment, sports equipment, sexual education, field trips, school planners or classroom books, since these things are now paid for by PAC fundraising?
Do you think that giving students in B.C. $1,000 less than the national average will offer them the best opportunities in their education?
I guess you also see no problem with deferring major and even basic maintenance to our children's schools -- like fixing leaky roofs, repairing boarded-up, unsafe playgrounds and, of course, the much more concerning seismic upgrades.
Maybe you can explain to me how your government sees no issue holding upgrading funds hostage, as if our children's safety should only be ensured if their school's capacity is maximized? Or why a leaky roof would never be allowed to continue for 20 years in any government building/office, court house, hospital, any workplace or even a residence with children, but somehow when it is in a public school, it is perfectly acceptable?
In my son's school district, 40 per cent of the schools are considered "beyond their useful life" and we have $97 million in deferred maintenance.
Despite closing 14 schools since 2002 and making drastic cuts to services, teaching positions, programs, admin costs and positions, we still have issues securing funding for these much-needed projects. And we are simply one out of 60 school districts in this province, a mere drop in the bucket.
If there are no funding issues, can you please explain why all of these much-needed upgrades and repairs are not being completed?
Also, I feel that I should point out that it is more then just a few small groups that have expressed the need for better funding.
Of course we have the B.C. Teacher's Foundation, which has spoken out for over a decade about the funding decreases. BCTF represents around 30,000 teachers who all see first hand the devastating effects of funding cuts.
We have multiple trustees, entire school boards and even the British Columbia School Trustees Assocation, which has written letters expressing the need for better funding.
Also, much like the letter written by my district's board, these letters are often signed and supported by multiple partner groups such as CUPE, the B.C. School Superintendents Association, the B.C. Principal's and Vice Principal's Association, the B.C. Association of School Business Officials, First Nations, DPACs and other parent and partner groups.
PACs and DPACs have expressed concern over cuts to funding. In fact there have been numerous parent groups that have been created strictly to advocate for better funding for public education: Families Against Cuts to Education, Protect Public Education Now and the Parent Advocacy Network for Public Education just to name a few.
Other parents have started blogs like fixbced, written letters to media and government, started post card campaigns, created numerous Facebook groups, written articles/blog posts, started petitions, held rallies, held pots and pan marches, spoke to media and met with MLAs. Members of FACE even presented at the provincial budget consultations.
There are thousands of parents in this province who have expressed concern for their children's education due to funding cuts in some form or another.
For you to simply brush off all of these concerns and efforts from not only multiple parents and parent groups, but also from every group that works in or around our public schools is rather ignorant and shows a brazen disregard for the position you hold in this province.
Please consider visiting some public schools, talking to students, teachers and staff and understanding the very real issues our public schools are facing everyday.
Sarah Miller
Concerned parent, Independent blogger and FACE organizer
P.S. Please stop using student outcomes to justify that the funding system works. The only ones who deserve credit for these high outcomes achieved in spite of the underfunding issues are the students themselves and the ones who teach, guide and inspire them -- the very teachers that your government constantly attacks and vilifies.

Criminal Traffic Violations
If you have recently been charged with a civil or criminal traffic law violation in Washington State, Callahan Law, P.S., Inc. is here to help. Because our attorneys limit their practice to traffic defense, they know the state's traffic laws inside and out. This is important, as Washington State is known for having some of the most complex and rigid traffic laws in the country.
You should immediately contact us to determine whether you should contest a traffic infraction because critical deadlines are involved. If payment of the fine, or a request to contest or mitigate the infraction is not made by the deadline, your fine may be referred to a collection agency and the department of licensing may suspend your driver's license.
Washington's Premier Source for Criminal Traffic Defense
Whether you are charged with speeding, running a red light, or driving without insurance, there are ramifications for any traffic violation. In the case of a civil matter, you may simply be charged a fine. However, if charged with a misdemeanor, you may be sentenced to increased fines, community service, a driver's license suspension, and even jail time. Your insurance rates may also skyrocket once your insurance provider learns of the traffic violation on your record.
Many professions require a clean driving record, such as commercial truck drivers, bus drivers, chauffeurs, and taxi cab drivers. Some traffic violations may affect current and future employment opportunities. By hiring an experienced traffic attorney, you may have a fighting chance at keeping the violation off of your record and saving your job.
At Callahan Law, our goal is to have your ticket dismissed. If we cannot accomplish this, we will fight to keep it from affecting your driving record and insurance rates. We have successfully resolved many traffic cases just like yours. Our attorneys will analyze your case to look for a way to beat your traffic ticket and have it dismissed. Because our attorneys only handle traffic offenses, they are familiar with the various courts that handle these infractions and offenses, and this knowledge can be used to your benefit.
Most traffic cases depend on the officer's written report or citation, and sometimes, his or her testimony against you. If we can find flaws with the officer's report, there is a good chance that your ticket may be dismissed. If the officer is subpoenaed and fails to appear on the court date, your ticket could even be dismissed because of the failure to appear.
The traffic attorneys at Callahan Law, P.S., Inc. are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They are more than happy to help you resolve the matter with the minimum of time, and effort on your part, including, if possible, to handle the matter without your having to appear in court.
To learn more about your case involving Washington State traffic laws, call us at (206) 472-1138 or fill out the form below.

grouch's Project Journal
The first page of the thread covers the subject, then a fight broke out followed by a 'how to post' lecture then, finally, back to photography.
Your opening post covers the most common mistakes in photography, not just photographing cars, along with simple solutions. Personally, I'd move composition to the top of the list because if a person can't decide what the photograph is supposed to be about, it's going to be a snapshot that stays in a shoebox. The following is nothing more than re-stating what your first post said, in a little different order and form, 'way back at the start of this thread.
Even with a digital camera, you should
stop and look at what's in the viewfinder
before clicking that shutter. What's it about? What's occupying most of the frame? What's distracting? Does the background interfere?
Crop it!
You shoot a little extra in the frame just to make sure you get everything you were after, but before you print it or publish it, you trim the fat off. If the photo is about your car, your house shouldn't occupy half the image. Measure it. Most of the time you will find that around 2/3 of your image has nothing to do with what you want to show. Would you enter a drag race while towing two taxis? Same thing.
"You can't really tell because it's so dark, but...". If you have to explain it, it's a failed shot; the only image you're presenting is the one you remember, not the one you meant to have in the photograph.
Cameras capture light
, not brain waves, auras or memories.
No amount of special effects, filters or weird angles and rotations of the camera will fix a bad photo. They can ruin a good one, though.
Photograph, don't decorate.

Alabama blogger released after five months in jail
Roger Shuler, whose blog, Legal Schnauzer, specializes in allegations of corruption and scandal in Republican circles in Alabama, was released from jail on March 26, 2014, after spending more than five months in prison on contempt of court charges. Shuler was arrested on October 1, 2013, for failing to comply with a preliminary injunction prohibiting him from publishing certain stories on his blog. A Shelby County judge ordered Shuler's release after his wife, Carol Shuler, removed most of the allegedly defamatory content, according to local news reports.

POV (or Persistence Of Vision) hacks rely on your visual circuit's lag time. By taking advantage of that lag POV displays can create the illusion of shapes and words where there are none. In the case of this Christmas tree hack a spinning set of LED lights creates the illusion of a Christmas tree when, in reality, there is just a few LEDs suspended in space by wire.
It's not a beginner level project by any means but it is a great way to practice surface mounting electronics and polish up your PCB making skills. Hit up the link below for the full tutorial.

Does that face look familiar?
Just a bit! Actor Gary Lucy has been lined up to appear in one of three special episodes of Casualty, following parts in Hollyoaks, EastEnders and The Bill.
Just like Michelle Collins, Hayley Tamaddon and Jimi Mistry before him, the 32-year-old actor has successfully hopped between soaps.
He memorably played Luke Morgan in Hollyoaks, winning Best Newcomer at the British Soap awards in 2000 for the controversial male rape storyline.
In 2002 he played Danny Pennant in EastEnders, and has previously appeared in The Bill, Footballers' Wives, Grange Hill and Dancing on Ice.
His latest role will see him play "a loveable rogue, born charmer and conman who exists very much on the wrong side of the tracks," according to the Radio Times.
Watch out for Gary in one of three upcoming Casualty specials, screened in November.
