A Southern Florida college had to adjust its security standards late last month thanks to a bunch of politicians coming to town, according to a published column.
The University of Tampa mandated staff, students and other people looking to gain access to the campus wear Spartan ID badges during the Republican National Convention, The Minaret reports. Campus Safety effected the changes out of consideration for the safety and well-being of the students and author Elaina Zintl notes her apprehension.
"I, as a new freshman at UT, was nervous about the RNC and grateful for the safety measures put in place," Zintle states in her column.
Members of the staff and the students all had to wear neon lanyards that had identification cards attached to them while the RNC was in process beginning the week of August 26.
While the convention was in process, people whose lanyard and ID were not clearly demonstrated could have been stopped. Not everyone wore the lanyards and identification around their necks but, rather, held on to them or had them dangling from their pockets as a method of avoiding being stopped.
Prior to the RNC kicking off, campus officials issued several emails that sought to remind the students to wear the lanyards. Freshmen were instructed to attend at least one of the three mandatory security sessions that were being conducted on the Sunday that kicked off the week holding the RNC.
The security sessions featured officials advising students to be alert and vigilant and not to act recklessly. The officials underscored the mandate of wearing the lanyards.
One factor that got in the way of wearing the lanyards and identification badges was forgetfulness – despite the overt neon color of the lanyard holding the required documentation.
Campus Safety went out of its way to be of assistance. One student, a second-year commuter, said the school was enormously helpful given she does not live on campus.
"I'm a commuter, but I'm not staying at my permanent address," sophomore biology major Tara Temkar told the news source. "So they sent my lanyard to my parents' house when I was already in Florida, and I didn't have it sent down."
Conducted from August 27 through August 30, the Republican National Convention that nominated former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney to challenge President Barack Obama was held at the Tampa Bay Times Forum. Walking between the Forum and campus was roughly 20 minutes.

In the past, students at the University of Iowa were required to carry multiple ID cards if they wanted to attend sporting events, access dormitories or perform a number of other daily academic-related activities. To make life easier for students, faculty and staff members, the school is rolling out a new program that will provide individuals with a single badge, according to a report by independent newspaper, the Daily Iowan.
Around 9,000 student ID cards - dubbed the Iowa One card - have been handed out so far. Many community members were already using badges for residence hall functions that required access control, the news source said.
"We have a campaign in progress to re-card the rest of the residents in the next three weeks," UI spokesman Tom Moore said, according to the Daily Iowan. "When that population is served, we will begin the conversion to the Iowa One card for other students, faculty and staff."
The Iowa One cards are contactless, which eliminates the need to students living in dorms to get a separate ID for access to their residence halls.
"[The Iowa One card] eliminates the need to carry the extra Prox card," UI sophomore Blake Jorgensen told the Daily Iowan. "I use it the same way I used my last one but I like the fact that I can use it and get access to my hallway."
Furthermore, the new student ID cards are integrated with local Hills Bank, allowing users to access bank accounts via their ID badges, the news source said. This process is not new, as the old ID card also had similar functions, but it gives Hills Bank a unique opportunity to appeal to incoming freshmen looking to have a local bank account.
"During orientation, we connected over 25 percent of the incoming freshmen with ID cards that are also attached to their bank accounts," said Ken Hinrichs, an executive at Hills Bank and Trust Co., according to the Daily Iowan. "There has also been very strong interest in new accounts with the IDs linked to the cards, as returning students have come back to school from the summer."
Using multi-functional, contactless ID cards is becoming more common throughout multiple industries, including education and the private sector. As advances in technology continue to drive innovation, ID cards will likely continue to be more useful to users.

The class of 2016 at Northern Kentucky University will be the first in the school to embrace a newly designed student ID card. Last year, the student government association at NKU created a contest that allowed community members to create their own model of the school's All Card in an effort to boost awareness and school spirit, according to a report by student-run newspaper the Northerner.
"The whole thing started about this time last year when Dustin Robinson, former SGA president, approached me with the idea of coming up with a student designed ID card," Ward Wenstrup, operations manager at All Card administration, told the newspaper. "I thought it was a great idea."
In addition to the overall design of the card, NKU administrators also made the change to imprint the student identification number on the badge. Unlike the traditional ISO number that was on the old cards, the ID numerals are similar to Social Security numbers in the sense that they help individuals with their financial demands, the Northerner said.
"I think it's very positive to see the design being well received," Wenstrup said, according to the Northerner. "I truly appreciate the student-submitted design but anything that makes the kids excited about their card, I'm all for it."
According to NKU officials, every student, faculty and staff member is required to have an All Card with a photograph and ID number for identification and access control purposes. Although the newly designed ID card is different from the older model, individuals are not yet required to make the change. By creating a new design, however, individuals may be less inclined to lose it and, as a result, lose the abilities that come with it.
A Western New York state university is placing increased importance on its identification card, according to a published report.
Students at the College of Brockport who do not have their Brockport ID cards with them will be unable to gain entry into the gym, eat a meal at the dining hall or get back home into their residence hall, The Stylus reports.
Students at the school, which is part of the State University of New York System, will be unable to go to campus-held events also. Two particular events – Glow Fiesta IV and Club Craze – served as examples of the new rules as they only entered after swiping their ID cards where a scanner read their cards.
The banner identification on the card was read by a scanner and the student was permitted to enter following a short beep, which indicated the person is a current student. But the operator was tipped off to trouble if that beep was longer.
The effort drives to preserve "integrity with the usage of the student activity fee," assistant director Matt Barone with the Student Union Activities told the news source. The Office of the Student Union and Activities also is involved and is gauging event attendance.
This new system has begun "for a few different reasons," Barone told the news source. "First, attendance tracking is nice. It's nice for us to know who's going to what. There's also a co-curricular transcript tool in myBrockport, where if you went to Club Craze last night, you will be able to generate a co-curricular transcript of all the things you've been involved in or have attended. So that you could say to a potential internship site or a potential job place, 'here are the things I've been involved in and here's the record of that.' As opposed to saying you did that, you can say here's actual proof of that."
The Student Union purchased four scanners to check the ID cards, according to Barone. Community Development acquired one scanner. Leadership Development owns as many as three. One scanner costs $10 and the various organizations that want to make use of the scanners will be able to.
Students who already have had their ID cards scanned will receive email notifications of upcoming events.
The College at Brockport was founded in 1865 and encompasses 464 acres, according to the school's website. The school offers 49 undergraduate majors and 47 master's degree programs.

A Western Pennsylvania college student who plans to volunteer at a voting site for the general election in November feels for the plight of the poor and the elderly, according to a published report.
Junior political science major Alyssa Knierim with Point Park University in Pittsburgh is scheduled to volunteer at polls in Millvale and she said the elderly and the poor will face challenges voting because of the difficulties getting to the Motor Vehicles Department to acquire the mandated identification, The Point Park Globe reports.
But the need to stave off voter fraud is ever present and important, another student told the news source, noting officials should put more effort into easing the process of acquiring IDs for those societal demographics.
"They should make it easier to get one, and make people more aware of it, and maybe when someone comes without an ID, they can give them the information they need to get one," freshman cinema production major Hannah Meholick told the news source late last week.
Next week will see the Pennsylvania Supreme Court hear an appeal to a judge's rejection of arguments against the voter ID law, more officially known as Act 18. Those who will argue the case include a coalition led by the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania.
The ACLU takes exception to the Commonwealth Court stating last month that Act 18 ultimately will cause "inevitable" harm as compared to "immediate" harm.
"I think it's an infringement on our basic rights as American citizens. If we are a government for and of, and by the people, the people should be able to participate," Knierim told the news source late last week. "It shouldn't be that hard to vote and for some people it is, especially elderly people."
Pennsylvania governor Tom Corbett signed Act 18 into law this past March; the lawsuit filed by the ACLU came about 60 days later.
The ACLU stands opposed to the law because it believes it controverts the U.S. constitution.
"We believe this is unconstitutional. We should not be putting up a barrier to voting and under this law are people who are not going to be able to get the ID necessary or people who won't know that they need the ID until they show up at the polls and don't have the right ID," associate director Sara Mullen with the ACLU said.
Established as a business training college in 1933, Point Park University has been a four-year school since 1966, according to the school's website.
American businesses and homeowners continue to combat burglary, fraud and other criminal activity by purchasing advanced security solutions. Ongoing advances have made many of these technologies more efficient, accurate and convenient, encouraging decision-makers to adopt the tools at a faster rate.
A new study by the Freedonia Group echoed this trend, forecasting the market for U.S. security products to expand at a compound annual growth rate of more than 7 percent through 2016, at which point it will generate approximately $21 billion in annual revenue.
There are many reasons for increased adoption of advanced security solutions, including the unstable economy, which is forcing service providers to drop their prices to remain competitive, allowing a wider range of customers to leverage the tools. While this allows decision-makers to pick from an array of offerings, most tend to lean toward access control systems.
The growing access control market
The Freedonia Group forecast access control systems to experience strong momentum in the future, as analysts predict the market to expand by roughly 11 percent annually through 2016. Technological innovations have made these solutions easier to use and more reliable than other locking mechanisms, making them an ideal choice for property owners looking to keep unauthorized individuals away from valuable possessions.
As more decision-makers make the move to adopt access control systems, an increasing number of vendors will flock to the market in an attempt to acquire new customers and generate more revenue. In doing so, however, service providers will be forced to drop their prices to remain competitive, allowing a wider range of users to leverage the solutions, the report said.
Another driver behind the growing access control market is the recovering housing sector. Since identity authentication technologies become less expensive, more homeowners will switch out existing locks for more advanced mechanisms that are able to keep intruders out, the Freedonia Group reported.
Developments in the ID card and authorization accessory industry are also fueling the adoption of access control. A separate report by EBN Online echoed this finding, noting that the evolution of smart cards will play a significant role in the changing access control market. Contactless solutions, such as near-field communications, will become a major player in access control in the coming years.
As decision-makers continue struggling to keep out unauthorized individuals, access control will become an important part of physical security investments.
The State of Texas is challenging a federal court decision against requiring voters in the Lone Star State to display an official photo identification to vote on Election Day in November, according to a published report.
Lawmakers are upset about a U.S. District Court in Washington rejecting the proposed voter ID law mandating the use of an ID issued by the government and, in response, the state is aiming to petition the U.S. Supreme Court, The Daily Texan reports.
The law's supporters say it will help the effort to stave off voter fraud while those opposing the measure and additional voter ID laws maintain they slant against minorities' votes for two reasons. Many minorities are not in possession of a photo ID and they live great distance from an office that distributes the identification cards.
The proposed law augments the responsibilities of students as well, according to director Billy Calve with student government agency Hook the Vote at the University of Texas at Austin. The law would demand information on a civilian driver's license match with a voter registration address.
"If you reside at a West Campus apartment or a dorm on campus, you would have had to make sure your driver's license address matched that," Calve told the news source. "For many students, that is not the case. Students would have had to go out and get their driver's license changed to match their Austin address."
The case was particularly based on minority rights rather than those of students, according to assistant law professor Joseph Fishkin.
But Texas opted against numerous amendments to the voter identification law that would have reduced its strictness and cut down on the chances that it would be rejected, the assistant law professor told the news source. One amendment advocated for student IDs' use as photo IDs when casting ballots.
"I wouldn't make too much of a big deal of this, but the state legislature's decision not to allow student IDs is one of the things that came back to haunt the state," Fishkin told the news source.
The Washington Post reports the three-judge panel described Texas' proposed law as the nation's most strict.
The publication notes this serves as the first instance of a federal bench intervening to block a voter ID law.
The federal court ruled that the state did not demonstrate that the statute would not be harmful to minorities' voting rights.

Many colleges in the U.S. are merging efforts with financial institutions to enhance student IDs and make them also serve as debit cards, according to a published report.
Almost 900 universities have established partnerships with banks and 32 of the 50 biggest public schools have worked out contracts with financial institutions to endow students with debit cards or prepaid cards, according to a U.S. Public Interest Research Group study cited by The Flor-Ala, the student newspaper of the University of North Alabama.
Though that type of partnership is not in place as of yet with a financial institution and the University of Northern Alabama, incoming freshman Skyler South told the news source that establishing this agreement could be a good idea. But she noted she already is the owner of a debit card from other sources.
The University of Northern Alabama could benefit from the card, according to office manager Karen Kennedy with the UNA Mane Card. However, should the school opt to move forward with that plan, she said it would have to be selective with whom it mergest efforts.
"I think it'd be beneficial, depending on the banking relationship," Kennedy told the news source. "Different banks have different agreements. Some banks will allow students to go into the negative to charge in overdraft fees, and that shouldn't be supported."
But the U.S. PIRG study exposed students to the likelihood of paying high fees, like those charged by ATMs and those applied when overdrafts occur.
Situated in the city of Florence, the university considers the Mane Card to be a student's official University of Northern Alabama card, according to the school's website.
The Mane Card serves as a debit card, a meals card, a library card and it opens doors.
It also serves as a method of payment for various on-campus services.

A Northeastern Alabama county school system is allowing disabled American veterans free admission to middle and high school sporting events, according to a published report.
The service-connected disabled must show identification cards when arriving at the Marshall County School System events, The San Mountain Reporter states. The schools taking part in the free program include Asbury, Douglas, Claysville, Brindlee Mountain and DAR.
The principals and coaches of the school systems' middle and high schools unanimously agreed to the policy, assistant superintendant Butch Ferguson with Marshall County Schools told the news source.
"Marshall County Board of Education member Bill Aaron came to me a couple of weeks ago with a proposal that I talk to principals in the Marshall County School System about allowing disabled American veterans with a service-connected disability into our sporting events free," Ferguson told the news source, also noting he is athletic director of the school system.
Aaron, who crafted the suggestion, is a disabled veteran himself. His military service includes two years in the U.S. Army and 22 years with the National Guard.
Aaron, who devoted eight months of service to helping in the Demilitarized Zone in Korea, also taught in the school system for 33 years before retiring.
He said when the injured veterans show their cards, admitting their attendance will not be of issue.
"I'm a disabled American veteran, so I'm among them and talk to them," Aaron told the news source. "I was talking to some other veterans, and we were discussing it. They asked me if we would look into it. Some have a pretty tough situation, and this might enlighten their life."
Marshall County has a long history of military action including being the theater of raids by federal troops during the War Between the States, according to the county's website.

Two elementary schools in West Virginia are experimenting with a pilot program that aims to help ensure the students' safety, according to a published report.
This school year will see students at Wiliamstown Elementary School and Mineral Wells Elementary School wearing identification badges, The Parkersburg News and Sentinel reports. The students who will be partaking in the program are in kindergarten, first grade and second grade.
The students only will be allowed to leave with guardians who wear badges that match the ones worn by the children, transportation director Richard Lance told the news source, noting another nearby county implemented the program.
"Kanawha County has had this in place for a couple of years, and they've done it as a voluntary program," Lance told the news source late last week. "We'd like to see the same done here and have it be mandatory."
All families have been given four of the badges. The child holds one badge while the guardians are given three badges for when they pick up the child.
Efforts to pick up the child by someone who does not have a badge will result in the child being taken back to school.
He said that the plan should be in place by the middle of this week.
"By Wednesday, we are going to start enforcing this," Lance told the news source.
Students who lose or forget their badges will be issued a temporary one.
More than 500 students are partaking in the pilot program this year. Lance said its success will prompt the expansion to each of the 19 public elementary schools in Wood County.
Wood County public schools have scholarship programs for academics and athletics, booster organizations, a parent-teachers' association and additional programs to strengthen the county's academic offerings, according to the county schools' website.

Celebrating First-time Events at WAY Academy West Campus!
Students took the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) MAP assessment for the second time this school year. The amount of growth made the need for celebration a must! Student growth was outstanding, with many doubling and tripling their projected targets. The entire school celebrated with an Ice Cream Extravaganza. The choices of Oreos and Chip- Ahoy Cookies, Butter Fingers, Chocolate, Strawberry, and Caramel Syrup, Marshmallows, Whipped Cream, M&M's, Sprinkles, and Vanilla and Chocolate Ice Cream, gave everyone the opportunity to create an Ice Cream Sundae of their dreams! One student when asked what contributed to their 16-point increase in Mathematics stated, "I really paid attention this year, and working with Veronica (math teacher) helped a lot." The same student also stated that they enjoyed working on the math projects.
School Garden
It has been overwhelming - the amount of excitement and pride students have expressed in getting their hands dirty. While the work has not been easy, with the guidance of teacher Stephanie Current, both middle and high school students began working diligently to establish our first school garden. Mrs. Current feels, "Students are learning how to be responsible and take ownership of something that can impact them in the future. They are learning a skill that is being forgotten in many communities. This experience will stay with them for many years."
The experience is pairing well with our Project- Based approach to learning, by providing real-world connections for the entire teaching staff to plan crosscurricular projects. We are thankful for the Don Bosco Community Group, Ready-Set-Grow, headed by Carl Thomas, for sharing the area with us. The group has partnered to share the costs involved in making the garden a point of pride for the Cody-Rouge neighborhood.
Poetry Night
Middle and high school students held the First Annual Poetry Night on 3rd of June, remembering and honoring the late-great Dr. Maya Angelou. Students read their original poetry in person, while others participated by having their poetry presented through a digitally recorded slideshow. Students were able to sit and observe audience reactions, while maintaining a sense of anonymity. Many of these students were so overcome with pride at the audience reactions that they have since created a poetry club. The club is entirely student-led and headed by middle school student, Leniya Young. English-Language Arts teacher, Kim Clark, who organized the event stated, "I have no doubt that this event created a new passion for the spoken word."
Detroit Parent Network: Creating a Network of Support for Students and Parents
Detroit Parent Network is a premier parent organization that transforms parents to make Detroit a better place to raise and educate our children.
WAY Academy is excited about their new partnership with Detroit Parent Network. Detroit Parent Network offers workshops to our students and gives them practical tools, written materials and leadership development. DPN works with our young parents to instill selfesteem and the core parenting skills that will help them to create a better future for their children. The organization has serviced 28,000 parents this year alone and is rapidly expanding.
This month at WAY Academy our researchers attended a Love and Logic training that focused on raising responsible children and identifying individualized solutions for parents. Students learned how to teach personal responsibility and respect, how to avoid enabling and begin empowering, and how to set enforceable limits. WAY has partnered with Detroit Parent Network to create a culture for parent involvement, both from our students as parents and also from the parents of our students.
Part of WAY's mission is to help parents to remove barriers in their lives. We believe that this partnership will be powerful for students moving forward. In order to gain the support of parents, it is important to be a good listener, to considerately schedule parenting workshops and to help parents remove the barriers in their lives that keep them from moving forward. Parents are better caregivers when they are able reflect and set personal goals for themselves. WAY Academy believes that families are the best advocates for their children. Improving the leadership skills of interested parents will help them give more to their neighborhoods and schools. After attending a recent workshop, one of our parents stated, "WAY's parent sessions have helped me to reduce the stress in my life and in my home. I feel more confident in preparing my children to apply for and attend college. I also feel like I have stronger relationships with the teachers here at WAY Academy than I have at any other school."
Having a powerful network of parents behind our students is essential to their success. WAY works with Detroit Parenting Network to provide small grants for parenting projects as well as internship opportunities with a small paid stipend. Parents consistently provide positive feedback regarding these workshops. With such high parental involvement and support for students to concentrate on their individual goals as parents, we are investing in the continued success of WAY researchers.
A Cirque Experience of a Lifetime
Roll right up and see before your very eyes how a woeful widget factory becomes a frolicsome funhouse in Birdhouse Factory, which ran at The Whiting in Flint, as part of the Health Alliance Plan Family Series.
Created and directed by Chris Lashua, the originator of the German Wheel act in Cirque du Soleil's Quidam, and featuring veterans of the Pickle Family and Moscow Circuses, Birdhouse Factory uses a decidedly fresh aesthetic to showcase their highflying, mind-boggling talent. Birdhouse factory has wowed audiences worldwide from a critically acclaimed off Broadway run and US tour to highly successful European tour and performances in Dubai and Hong Kong.
Assembly workers became ecstatic with aerial ambition, crane operators twist and transmute into strange and silly shapes, and gravity-defying mechanics ignite endless "oohs" and "aahs" when unexpected inspiration flies into their world. Birdhouse Factory was in part by the masterful industry murals of Mexican artist Diego Rivera, the outrageous illustrations of cartoonist Rube Goldberg, and the slap-stick style humor of Charlie Chaplin's film "Modern Times."
Researchers from the WAY Academy of Flint never experienced a cirque quite like this one! The day after this phenomenal and exhilarating performance, approximately 25 researchers were captivated as they witnessed first hand a contortionist perform on a turntable powered by unicyclists, a high-flying trapeze artist sail through the air, and a trampoline wall artist seemingly defy the laws of physics.
Working collaboratively with the cast, each researcher was given a once in a lifetime opportunity to transform themselves into high-flying trapeze artists, unicyclists and jugglers. At WAY Academy of Flint, we provide an amazing opportunity for all kids. We will continue to offer a personalized, engaging, high-quality curriculum that is project-based that inspires our kids to be creative, innovative, and successful.

LSP: Robbery turns into hostage situation
ADDIS - Authorities confirmed they are working a hostage situation at this hour in West Baton Rouge Parish.
State Police said they are assisting Addis Police in the situation, after the suspect crashed a stolen police cruiser near the Intracoastal Canal.
Troopers said it started as a robbery at a Brusly pharmacy, and after the suspect crashed they surrounded it and called in a hostage negotiator.
La. 1 is closed at the Intracoastal Canal while authorities resolve the situation.
News 2 crews are headed to the scene and will have more details as they become available.

I have a Rossi .357 mag rifle that I bought years ago it also suffers from a very stiff action. Where does one find these "Lee" spring kits ?
I bought the "Lee" spring kit for the 1892 Rossi Winchester Clone. This rifle has the brass frame and a SS octagon barrel.
First thing I did was measure the effort it took to open the action and the trigger pull.
Using a Lyman digital trigger pull gauge, I attempted to measure the force required to open the lever fully. The gauge's max limit is 12 pounds and this lever friction exceeded this! The trigger pull was 6.2 oz.
After the action work, the action opened to full with 3.6 pounds of pull and the trigger is now a nice crisp 3pounds, 2 oz.
The springs that are replaced are the hammer spring, the trigger spring, the lever lock spring and the ejection spring.
I'll post a full review with pictures at some point.
Every single edge within the receiver on this rifle were knife sharp. Using a set of India stones, a small file and 400 grit wet/dry sand paper on a piece of perfectly flat granite, I rolled all edges and any area that showed signs of rubbing.
I decided to do a bit of jewelling on areas that were exposed. Jewelling not only looks neat, it holds oil a bit better than polished steel.
The rifle is now slick as snot! It's amazing how rough this action was before. Taking your rifle apart, installing a spring kit and doing a bit of smoothing of all surfaces is highly recommended.

GUNSLINGER RIFLE SPRING KITS - Brownells I tuned mine also but did mine according to Steve Gunz kit which is one spring and suggesting cutting another which I didn't do. Also step my step on the CD on how to do it. He also sells the safety removel plug. Rossi 92 - DIY Action Job KIT Rossi 92 DVD Parts Pack [DVDComboPak] : Steve's Gunz Web Store, The Home of the Rossi 92 Specialist for kit and here for safety Button Style Safety Replacement Plug Rossi 92 Button Style Safety Replacement Plug [] - $18.95 : Steve's Gunz Web Store, The Home of the Rossi 92 Specialist When it needs springs I will go with the Lee kit next time myself though I'm very happy with the ease of mines action now also. I've actaully compared it to several Uberti guns modified by a number of gun smiths with little difference that I can feel from what mine is now. Either way once the action is smoothed out it is as good as it gets really for a lot less money that some of the others.
Owning a gun doesnt make you any more an armed citizen than owning a guitar
makes you a musician.
I like the jeweling! Congrats on a job well done! I'm too afraid to anything that requires removing metal. I'm afraid I'll go too far and end up with something unsafe. I might consider a spring replacement for my 605, though.
Thanks guys. I'll visit the sites you suggested and make my old Rossie a winter time project.
nice yellow boy
I have one also, except mine is blued, with the case color hardened receiver, how do you get the forearm off these rifles, im not a dope but i can't figure it out! im afraid of cracking the wood! any help!? i have looked for a dissasembly video but have found none, just the receiver and but stock

Listen Listening... / 29:00 Arts/Culture/Weekend: Noise Pop, silent film and sea chanteys By Maya de Paula Hanika • Feb 27, 2013 David Black I used to think festival season was all about summertime magic, bare feet, desert sands and palm trees.

Here are mine, for this week's Arts/Culture/Weekend: Bay Area Beats: Will Sprott By Alyssa Kapnik • Feb 26, 2013 Listen Listening... / 4:33 It may have the word "noise" in the title, but San Francisco's Noise Pop festival is all about highlighting the best indie art, film and music in the Bay Area.

Desperate Cruisers: Drama on the High SeasAuthor: Amelia H.
Date of Trip: March 2010
I took a Princess excursion in the Bay of Islands to see the Kauri Forest and Glow Worm Caves and that was really fun. We got to see much of the area including some artsy toilets, there was plenty of stops for postcards and junk and opportunities to hike a bit if you wanted to. It was a good excursion.
I took a Princess excursion in Picton to see the area via land and sea and this was a classic bummer made so by an individual who showed up late (they waited) and then who "got lost shopping" at a 10 minute stop and caused another half hour delay, all of this amounting to a shortened excursion. This is why I hate ship excursions. I don't mind so much when we go slower because of handicapped people, but I go crazy when some selfish loon shows up late (duh) or wanders off to shop at a toilet stop!
I took private excursions in all the other locations. In Honolulu we rented a car and spent the day tooling around the North shore and more. It cost 50 bucks for the whole day, plus $15 in gas. Several folks rented cars as well, one man who drove to buy flowers and to see the Diamond Head lookout point later told me he was suffering from Macular Degeneration. Be careful driving when the World Cruise is in town!
In New Caledonia we took one of the petite tour "trains" around on our own and that provided for a nice overview of the Island, which is quite beautiful and civilized if expensive. We were in town late, we got to port at noon and that is when the market closed for the day so we missed that. It is an expensive place, one can hardly afford to blow ones nose at $7 a box of tissues. I did manage to find a jewelry store open and there was this Gold Tiki I could not resist...
We walked on our own in Auckland and Sydney and had a blast. We took local buses and ferries and walked as much as we could. The only HOHO we took was in Sydney Harbor, a boat you could hop on and off but we did not end up using it in that way. The Botanical gardens in Sydney were outstanding, we saw tons of bats just hanging around and mating (flying foxes) and so many different birds, bugs, and butterflies it was amazing. This was a perfect place to end our stay in Sydney. We found a wonderful restaurant 14 years ago in London and were pleased to find it again in Auckland and Sydney, it's called Wagamama and it is well worth a visit. You have to try the Passion Fruit & Lychee Sorbet, with a shot of Sake.
All in all it was a nice cruise, it was just the right amount of time to be away and though I did enjoy the cruise I was ready to get off the ship after so many Sea days. I am not sure I could handle being on such a small ship for such a long period of time (107 days) with the same people and the same staff. While some staff was a delight to be around, others seemed tired and battered and ready for a break. The same was true of the cruisers, many were delightful and happy, but there were the occasional grumps that got grumpier as time moved on. I was happy to leave the mean and the grumpy but very sad to leave the wonderful friends I met on the cruise.

Grade Level: 6th – 8th; Type: Chemistry
This science project examines the connection between temperature and chemiluminescence.
Research Questions:
- Does temperature affect the strength of chemiluminescence?
- Can heat add energy to the chemical reaction in a light stick?
On a fall night, you've probably seen fireflies glowing in the bushes. Fireflies use chemiluminescence, a very efficient process that converts energy to light. Light sticks use a similar process. Do you think that temperature affects how bright light sticks or fireflies can glow? This experiment will help you find out.
- Four foam cups
- Permanent marker
- Four identical light sticks
- Four thermometers
- Stopwatch
- Graph paper, optional
Experimental Procedure
- Label the cups "hot," "warm," "cold," and "freezing."
- Fill the "hot" cup with boiling water, the "warm" cup with warm tap water, the "cold" cup with cold tap water, and the "freezing" cup with ice water.
- Drop a thermometer into each cup, and wait about a minute to make sure that the temperatures have been measured correctly.
- Activate each light stick, and start your stopwatch at the same time.
- Simultaneously, drop each light stick into a cup of water and stir them for one minute.
- Turn off the lights. Compare the brightness of the sticks and record your observations. Try to rank them in terms of brightness, with "4" being the brightest and "1" being the least bright.
- Turn on the lights again.
- Use the sticks to stir the cups of water for exactly five more minutes.
- Turn off the lights and compare the brightness of the sticks again. Record your observations.
- Leave the light sticks in the cups for one hour. Then compare the brightness of the sticks again.
- Analyze your data. You can either average the three rankings of each light stick and then compare the averages, or graph the ranks on a line graph.
Terms/Concepts: Heat Energy; Endothermic and exothermic reactions; Chemiluminescence and bioluminescence; What makes fireflies glow?; What makes light sticks glow?

"copy of the library's CD....that is probably gray area, but I have done that since I already own the album."
Not even close to a gray area, once you return the CD to the library. It would be reasonable for you to copy the the CD from the library to prevent you from damaging it -- while in your possession.

It's unusual for a musician of any type to team up with what is seen as one of the biggest advocates of piracy to release music but modern dance legend Kaskade and his label Ultra Music have done just that partnering with BitTorrent.
'BitTorrent Bundles' allow labels to release free music alongside paid content in a way to encourage fans to purchase part of the release in order to get the rest.
In the case of Kaskade it means once you've laid the dollars down you can exchange an email address or code to download the Dada Life remix of Dynasty, and the trailer for Freaks of Nature. As an added-added bonus there's also 10 minutes of exclusive video from Kaskade's show at the Staples Center and the Freaks of Nature Digital Tour Booklet.
In what is looking like a first within the EDM world it could pave the way for both building databases for the artist (in reality, you only have to do this one or twice to then direct sell) and generally 'exciting' the whole purchase.
Still dont get us? Watch the video below.

Firms Struggle To Hire (& Grow) By Todd Bookman • Nov 15, 2016 New unemployment figures came out Tuesday and at 2.8%, New Hampshire's rate remains the lowest in the nation. On paper, that may sound like a very good thing: nearly everyone who wants a job has one. But if you are an employer trying to fill a vacancy or a company trying to expand, these can be frustrating times. N.H.'s Unemployment Rate Ticks Down Below 3 Percent By Todd Bookman • Oct 18, 2016 New Hampshire's job market continues to show signs of strength.

Foodstuffs: Tradition and Tech Align at a N.H. Smokehouse By Jack Rodolico • Nov 19, 2015 Jack Rodolico Behind the counter at Fox Country Smokehouse stands the original smoker from 1969. It's a wood closet – maybe six by four feet – with metal racks and a light bulb. The walls in there are deep brown, almost black. But they shine. You'd think they were shellacked, but the gloss comes from something else. "It's actually the creosote from the smoke," says Bill Annis, smokehouse manager. "This is the original door from day one. It just gets a little heavier every year from the smoke." Data Breach Could Affect 21K T-Mobile Customers In N.H.

Unemployment Tax Rate Cut By 1 Percent By Michael Brindley • Jan 6, 2015 New Hampshire's unemployment tax rate will go down by 1 percent in the first quarter of this year, state officials said Tuesday. The new rate of 3.4 percent is expected to save employers more than $37 million over the next three months.

Listen to the full story, courtesy New England Public Radio via the New England News Exchange: Arthur T. Demoulas Completes Purchase Of Market Basket By NHPR Staff • Dec 12, 2014 Ella Nilsen / NHPR A tumultuous year for Market Basket is coming to an end with Arthur T. Demoulas formally in charge of the company. Demoulas and his family announced Friday that they have completed the purchase of the 50.5 percent of the company that was controlled by his cousin.

Unemployment Falls To 4.2%, Lowest Rate In Six Years By Michael Brindley • Nov 18, 2014 bytemarks / Flickr Creative Commons The state's unemployment rate ticked down to 4.2 percent last month, the lowest it's been in six years. Data released today by the state's employment security office shows the October rate was a slight improvement from September rate, when unemployment was at 4.3 percent. By comparison, last October's unemployment rate was 5.2 percent. Data shows roughly 2,000 more Granite Staters were employed last month compared to September, while the number of unemployed residents decreased by 1,300. N.H.'s Unemployment Tax Rate Drops By .5 Percent By Michael Brindley • Oct 3, 2014 bytemarks / Flickr Creative Commons New Hampshire's unemployment tax rate went down by .5 percent at the beginning of the month. State officials say the new rate is a result of the health of the state's unemployment compensation trust fund, which ran a balance greater than $250 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014. The state's unemployment compensation law triggers an automatic reduction to the tax rate when the trust fund maintains certain levels. New Hampshire Employment Security Deputy Commissioner Richard Lavers says that positive trend is expected to continue into next year. Whole Foods' Pricey, Personal Formula Could Put Pressure On N.H. Farmers By Sheryl Rich-Kern • Sep 22, 2014 Sheryl Rich-Kern for NHPR Whole Foods opened its first New Hampshire store in Nashua last month. It plans to add stores in Bedford and Portsmouth by 2016. It's an open question whether the Texas-based chain known for high-end natural and organic products can compete with farmers markets on the one hand and with the reopened Market Basket, or the grocers that saw their business grow as the Demoulas family feuded. Maine Sponsors NASCAR Race Car To Promote Tourism, Business Climate By Patty Wight • Sep 17, 2014 Patty Wright, MPBN It's being billed as the first-ever public-private sponsorship of a race car.

They stated they would come back the next day on November 8. Today is December 19th and nothing has been done and the contractor never came back.
When I call Sensible, I keep hearing what everyone else hears "Vendor Relations" will take care of it. There is never a supervisor for us to speak with. The representatives will not give you Vendor Relations phone number and I have been told a supervisor will call me back, which never happens. In my files it states Vendor Relations has contacted the service company and they will be out the next day.
I called the Service Company only to find out the company is no longer in business and have a very bad rating with the BBB. So I'm wondering who is Sensible calling and why will they keep calling a company that has not provided services as promised.
Sensible and Generation Service Group of Matthews NC are complete frauds. Stay away from them. I am trying to cancel and get my money back but the service rep does not who I need to call to do that. Also, the reps are supposed to be in Sparks NV but they cannot name one street in Sparks NV.

Over the weekend, the new single Work Bitch by our dear Britney Spears leaked to the Internets which resulted in the early official release of the song radio and then to iTunes. Today we have a new Britney leak to consider. Britney, as you should be well aware, is due to appear on Good Morning America tomorrow to presumably announce her forthcoming concert residency in Las Vegas, NV but today TMZ has a few reported deets about that announcement. As you can see below, TMZ is delivering information about Britney's LV shows including our first look at what her performance stage will look like. Britney will, I believe, offer LOTS of official information about her shows tomorrow … but today, we get to learn a tiny bit about those shows early.
Britney Spears will be raking in HUGE STACKS in Vegas this winter — a ridiculous $310,000 per show … nearly $15 million per year … TMZ is privy to the financial details of Britney's deal. The 2-year contract calls for 48 shows a year at Planet Hollywood. According to the contract, Britney will earn $310,000 per show … Britney's cut of the gate is huge — projected sales per show are $508,514, meaning Brit will be snagging more than 60%. As we reported, producers are shooting for a "cool, hip club-like show" … unlike the run-of-the-mill Vegas shows that preceded it. It starts in December.
Ok … so what we know now, according to this TMZ report, is that Britney will perform 48 shows per year (likely spread out over 52 weeks so that she can enjoy some downtime as needed) and that the residency will begin in December (likely around the time of the release of her new as-yet-untitled/announced album). I am hearing that tickets for the shows will be announced (or will go on sale) tomorrow after Britney's GMA appearance. I'm hoping that Britney will also be formally announcing the release of her new album tomorrow as well. Work Bitch was due to be released today but, instead, it leaked yesterday while Britney, her mother Lynne Spears and her little sister Jamie Lynn Spears were hanging out with friends in San Francisco:
It looks like Britney was having a really nice time with her family and friends yesterday while everyone else in the world was freaking the eff out over the leak/release of her killer new single. Today will be the calm before the storm for Britney fans. While Work Bitch plays on repeat on our respective iPods/computers/car stereos/etc. all day today, we await the onslaught of awesomeness that will come tomorrow morning when Britney makes her appearance on GMA. Stay tuned, tomorrow is going to be a big day for Britney Spears fans. 0

Hollywood star Brad Pitt has been snubbed by a museum after they reportedly decided he was too stupid for a place on their board.
The 49-year-old actor has been a long-time supporter of the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, but bosses have apparently decided he isn't smart enough for a place alongside the intellectual elite, reported Daily Star.
"Brad has always supported the museum, so he asked if he could participate on a higher level. But while the committee admires Brad's ambition, the fear is that he might be a little on the dumb side to serve on an art board. He doesn't even have a college degree," a source said.
Taking on a role on the museum's board may have been ambitious for Pitt as it was recently reported he and partner Angelina Jolie could be set for a move to the UK while he shoots a sequel to zombie blockbuster World War Z.
"Brad and Angelina are already planning for next year and have put the feelers out for properties. They would like to stay in Surrey like last time. Their kids are home-schooled so it won't cause much disruption," the source added.

As the private life of John Terry continues to make headlines on both the front and back pages, Ancelotti has already given his skipper full backing and consider the matter a personal one.
The centre-back showed no signs of letting the saga impact on his game as he headed in the winning goal against Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday, even if his celebration was visibly subdued.
Chelsea head to the KC Stadium for tonight's rearranged fixture seeking to extend their lead over Manchester United back up to four points after the champions beat third-placed Arsenal, who travel to Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Ancelotti knows anything other than 100% concentration against the relegation-battling Tigers could prove fatal.
"We have to stay focused against Hull because if we are not, we can have a problem," the Chelsea boss said.
"We have time after to think about the next game against Arsenal."
He added: "Every game is difficult here, around the game there is a very good atmosphere and when you play away it is more difficult to win.
"Hull are very able on the long ball, on the head, and we have to pay attention to set-pieces, but we want to do our game."
Left-back Ashley Cole will have a fitness test on the ankle injury sustained against Burnley, while Ivory Coast striker Didier Drogba is set for a first start since his return from the African Nations Cup.Reuse content

**disclaimer: I am not a professional designer or tailor by any means. I love to sew and craft so this has become a beloved past time for me. I have adapted these instructions for my own use from the Shira.net and Rostitchery websites. This is not my design.**
If you have any questions please private message me :)
- newsprint
- pencil
- compass (or string)
- metre stick (yard stick)
- square (right angled ruler)
- pattern weights (or traditional pins or things like soup cans)
- scissors
- fabric
- pins
- thread
- serger (or sewing machine)
- 1 inch elastic
- bodkin (or safety pin)
- large open space (floor or table)
- right side of fabric - right side or face of fabric...Jersey fabric may or may not have a design on it, the side with the clearer design is the right side, alternatively the shinier side will also be the right side.
Step one:
Roll out the newsprint on the floor or table. Depending on how long the skirt is you may need to cut the sheet into two pieces and tape them together to make them wider.
Next measure your waist, figure out how long you want the skirt to be and then go to Shira's site and find the corresponding measurement in the waist/2-panel/3-panel table (to be clear this is a two panel skirt).
Using your compass draw the first 1/2 circle at the top centre of the pattern. This will make the waist of the skirt. Add that number, the length of the skirt and an extra 1/2 inch to get the length you will need for your compass to make the bottom of the skirt. Draw another half circle, keeping the sharp point of the compass in same spot from when you drew the waist.
Now you will need two measurements for the wrap panels. The first one determines the width of the fabric. Starting with the tape measure in the centre between your breasts, measure over the fullest part of your breast, over the arm, as it rests at your side, to the edge of your arm where it ends at the side of your body. The next measurement determines how long the panels should be. Take your height and convert to inches (you can be accurate and use 1/2 or 3/4 inches or you can round up), then multiply by 1.5. That will be the length of the panels.
Using first the square ruler to ensure that the width line is straight, then the metre stick to draw the length of the lines; cut away the extra paper.
Step Two:
lay your fabric out, there are two ways you can do this. The jersey fabric I chose had a 4-way stretch, meaning it stretched out side to side and up and down. If your pattern is small enough you can lay it out horizontally (across the width) of the fabric or, if it is too large, lay it vertically. For the sake of this how-to I have laid the pattern out vertically.
Lay the pattern down and weight down with the pattern weights. Cut out two of the half circles.
Lay out the panel pattern and cut two of those. Weight down the same as previous for the skirt.
You will need to cut out a waist band, this just needs to be 3 inches in width and longer than the waist of the skirt.
Step Three
Now to sew the dress together. First sew the waist band together, wrong sides together and only along the bottom, you will need to leave both ends open for the elastic later.
Sew togther the two sides of the skirt, right sides togther.
Find the center front and center back of the skirt, you can do this by matching the side seams togther and folding the skirts in half, that will be your center.
Pin the waist band to the skirt, right sides together with the two edges starting and ending at the center front.
Pin the panels to the fabric, again right sides together, you will need to overlap the panels approx 3 inches at the center front (this will be for later coverage). Then sew together all pieces.
Step Four:
Turn the skirt right side out and you will see that the panels cover the waist band (this is correct).
Insert the elastic using the bodkin.
(insert pic showing insertion of elastic)
Try the skirt on and adjust the elastic (pulling tighter) until you feel comfortable. Overlap the elastic together and pin; stitch on two sides of the elastic and then from top to bottom across the diaganol to make an X (this will ensure that should the stitching fail on one of the edges you have redundancy in place and it won't come apart).
Next ensure that the hem is even. You may need to bring someone else in to help you with this unless you have a dress-makers mannequin (very helpful, very expensive, very optional). Once done, if you have used a jersey fabric you can leave the hem unstitched or you can do a rolled hem on the serger.
My favourite way of doing a rolled hem is to pull the fabric slightly while stitching it (second pic).
This is to give the edge a slight "lettuce leaf" look (second pic).
To Wrap:

Usually what you get from the Tunnelvision Lens is a blur effect on the edge, like stretched and focus on the middle, or you could do a macro shot. Yes that's the usual view from this lens, but there is another view. It is shadowy, mystic, surreal, when I see these pictures. It's like multiple exposure, but when you pay attention it's not like two frames merging into one frame. Yes this is another view that you could get with tunnelview lens from lomography.8 15 Share Tweet

Wildlife parks are a great family day out, allowing you to spend time together, see exotic animals, and enjoy some outdoor fun. That's why we've put together a directory of wildlife parks, zoos, and other animal themed attractions, so you can plan your next special day. Whether you need to keep the kids entertained for the day during the school holidays, or you're on a UK break and want to find some local attractions, our site lists some of the best wildlife parks around.
Animal themed fun
Everyone loves seeing exotic animals from around the world, and that's why our wildlife park directory lists so many different animal themed attractions. Wildlife and safari parks are generally large, open parks where you drive around the enclosures, or get taken around in a jeep. Here, animals are free to roam, and will often come up close to your car. Zoos are usually explored on foot, with the animals living in enclosures that are close to their natural habitat, and you're more likely to see the animals up close. We also list aquariums, which not only feature exotic fish, but also penguins, otters, amphibians, and other creatures who live close to the water.
Wildlife park locations
Our directory lists wildlife parks and zoos across the UK, so whether you're at home or on holiday, you can find somewhere nearby. This includes zoos close to city centres, and larger wildlife parks out in the countryside. You'll find animal attractions in popular holiday areas from the South West, to Wales, the Lake District, and many other places. Because there are so many wildlife parks across the UK, we've put together a directory to make it so much easier to find one nearby.
Longer stays
If you love animals, or want a way to keep the kids entertained for longer, then why not book wildlife park accommodation for a couple of nights? It means you won't miss out on any attractions during your trip, and can take your time visiting all the animals. Check out our accommodation page to find hotels, holiday cottages, and other types of accommodation that will allow you to spend longer at the wildlife parks. There are many great deals available for multi-day entries, and by booking a hotel you can take advantage of them.
Arranging travel to your favourite wildlife park couldn't be easier. We list a range of transport providers, from car hire firms to train companies, so you can book your travel in advance. If you need directions to a particular attraction, simply click through to their website, and you'll find information on how to get there by car, foot, train, or bus.
If you're planning a day at a wildlife park or other attraction, our website makes life so much easier. We list all the best parks and attractions, and make it easy to plan travel and accommodation, so you can plan a fun afternoon or a longer break. Simply look through our website to find out more.
