Dozens of friends, family, and members of the community lined the track at Itron Field to cheer on the survivors during their first lap at Friday's Relay for Life.
As the sun rose 12 hours later, a little over $46,000 had been raised and donations continue to pour in this week.

The future of Owen County's 950-acre Eden Shale Research Farm is unknown after the University of Kentucky recently announced it would close the farm and lay off five people employed at the facility.
The closure comes following cuts in state funding to the university. UK has also announced it will lay off 140 employees.
After several fund-raising events and countless hours of planning and hard work, two Owen County students will see their dedication pay off this week.
Colton Matt and Logan Bailey have been working since September 2010 to see the Sparta Skate Park expanded and updated. The pair approached the Sparta City Council and secured a pledge to match $10,000 if the boys could raise $10,000 on their own.
Through festivals, direct donations and a 'Penny War' between Owen and Gallatin counties, the boys raised about $8,000 over time, $2,000 short of the goal.
The Owen County High School track teams handed out their awards for the 2012 season. Bobby Mingie and Collin Trammel received the honor for scoring the most points for the boys.
Haley DeCandia captured the award for the girls.
Cooper Taylor, Hunter Trenary, Paula Rivera and Emily Allen were named rookies of the year.
Paul Banks, Daniel Cummins and Darian Polley were given the 110 Percent Award.
The coaches award was presented to Chris Smith, Willie Johnson, Jessica Willhoite and Veronica Chisholm.
If you were looking for a last minute gift for Father's Day this weekend I have an idea for you. I learned this week that University of Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari is hosting a basketball camp in September for those who want to live out their dream of being a Wildcat.
For just $7,500 you could send your man to the John Calipari Basketball Fantasy Experience. The camp includes dinner at Coach Cal's house, playing games on the floor of Rupp Arena and getting instruction from former and current players. Oh yeah, don't forget the bag of freebies from Nike.
Rain barrels are a good way to collect water from your downspouts, allowing you to use this otherwise wasted resource for watering flowers, gardens, and lawns, even during times of drought, lowering your water bill.
A workshop has been scheduled to demonstrate how to make rain barrels. It will be held June 19 at the Owen County Fairgrounds Exhibit building at 6:30 p.m. Come prepared to make your own rain barrel and take it home. Tools will be provided, but bring your own drill and jigsaw if you have one.
The Daughters of the American Revolution had a special guest speaker at their June 6 meeting, held at the Owen County Historical Society Museum.
Mattie Cook, who won the DAR Good Citizenship award was the guest speaker. Cook graduated from OCHS this year.
Peggy Trinkle, past regent called the meeting to order with Betty Whitehead giving a beautiful devotional and the main topic, "His is a Great Love," discussed numerous things and ways to make up money for the DAR.
Ilena Elizabeth Rose Figgins, daughter of Jonathan Figgins and Jennifer Urie of New Liberty, was born April 29, 2012 at 8:20 p.m. at Frankfort Regional Medical Center. She weighed 5 lbs 15 oz and was 18.5 inches long. She was welcomed home by a host of family and friends. Her maternal grandparents are the late Paula Nye and late Tony Urie, and her paternal grandparents are Mike and Mary Rose Figgins.
Thomas K. Blackburn, 1983, four counts of second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument, pleaded guilty, diversion.
Derrick R. Dempsey, 1989, first-degree complicity narcotics, second-degree burglary, motion to void pre-trial diversion, continued to June 19.
Taylor A. Fox, 1975, probation violation, motion to revoke probation, continued to Aug. 21.
Jeremy Wayne Hunter, 1975, shock probation, motion for shock probation, denied.
Jeremy Wayne Hunter, 1975, shock probation in felony convictions, motion for shock probation, denied.
I read that it was in the 1920's when automobiles began to grow in popularity. During that time a new set of challenges had to be faced and efforts made to resolve the problems. Some examples of the issues back then were the poor conditions of roads, narrow streets, parking, and the reactions of the sounds of vehicles when passing horses, mechanics, parts, and skills needed to repair the vehicles.

Kei Nishikori of Japan advances to Memphis final
Credit: The Associated Press
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Kei Nishikori was walking past Marinko Matosevic, ready to switch ends after winning the first set 6-4. The Australian stopped him near the umpire's chair.
Matosevic couldn't continue, not with a bone bruise in his right foot making each step simply too painful.
Matosevic retired 37 minutes into his semifinal against Nishikori on Saturday, sending the Japanese player to the final of the U.S. National Indoor Championships. Nishikori called the quick end surprising because he didn't know Matosevic was injured.

Smartcard squabble: Too good for court
By media correspondent Nick Higham
The BBC lawyer was emphatic in her conclusion, as I talked her through my script for the Ten O'Clock News and the complex background.
"This case will settle," she said. And you could see her point.
The Great Smartcard Piracy Row - with its lurid allegations and counter-allegations of industrial espionage, dirty tricks and sharp practice - is already threatening to do enormous damage to the two protagonists.
Canal Plus Technologies makes smartcards for more than 12.5 million digital set-top boxes around the world, including ITV Digital's.
NDS makes smartcards for 27.3 million boxes worldwide, including Sky Digital's.
Last week, you will recall, Canal Plus launched a $1bn (�0.7bn) suit against NDS in the Californian courts, alleging that NDS had conspired to crack its codes and flood the market with forged cards.
NDS was accused of "reverse engineering" (or hacking) the Canal Plus smartcard at its laboratory in Israel, sending the resulting decrypts to its subsidiary in California and then deliberately releasing them onto the internet.
'Illegal actions'
Canal Plus claimed only a competitor would have the expensive equipment and sophisticated expertise needed to crack its codes.
"No company is above the law and we intend to see the law applied to halt NDS's illegal actions," said Francois Carayol, the executive vice-president of the Canal Plus group.
"Competition should be about fair contests for customers, not 'cloak and dagger' operations aimed at undermining a competitor's products and services."
ITV Digital joined in, claiming pirated smartcards had cost it more than �100m.
The company estimates about 100,000 counterfeit cards may be in circulation in the UK, though that is small beer compared to Italy, where up to 50% of the Canal Plus Technologies smartcards are thought to be fakes.
News Corporation's New York headquarters refused to say anything.
Though News Corp owns 80% of NDS and appoints at least four of its directors (including News Corp's senior lawyer, Arthur Siskind, and News Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch's son James) it seemed the global media giant might be trying to distance itself from its theoretically "independent" subsidiary.
'Publicity campaign'
But late in the afternoon, with its share price in New York down 30%, NDS hit back, dismissing the allegations as "outrageous and baseless" and making a succession of claims of its own.
"This case has been launched as a massive publicity campaign, not a real court case," NDS's chief executive, Dr Abe Peled said.
"It is a blatant attempt by Canal Plus Technologies to shift the blame for their inferior technology and their inability to deal with piracy."
Canal Plus, according to NDS, had approached its rival last December about a possible merger, and used the allegations to gain leverage in the negotiations - and had also tried to poach the very NDS employee it now claimed had given its code to the Canadian website.
"Why would Canal Plus want to hire a person they claim was involved in such activity?" the company asks.
NDS also claims Canal Plus has admitted "reverse engineering" its rivals' smartcards - something Canal Plus categorically denies.
But he did deny deliberately putting the resulting code into the public domain.
"We had nothing to do with the piracy of their cards, we had nothing to do with the selling of these illegal devices, publishing it on the internet or anything like that," he said.
NDS's claims have in turn been met with counter-claims from Canal Plus, while newspapers have uncovered alleged links between NDS's head of security and a website frequented by hackers.
NDS reportedly says it was seeking intelligence on how hackers operate.
With so much mud being thrown by both sides, if the case ever comes to court it promises to be riveting entertainment - which is one very good reason why it will almost certainly be settled long before it gets in front of a judge.

Enrique delivers party-themed performances of 'Tonight (I'm Loving You)' in laser-beamed set, while Kelly travels back to the twenties in 'Mr. Know It All'.
Enrique Iglesias continued the celebration of 2011 American Music Awards by pumping up the crowd with feel-good song "I Like How It Feels". He brought a children choir to the stage and created arousing harmony with feet-stomping and drum-smacking sound. Next, he delivered a kid-friendly version of "Tonight (I'm F**king You)" with Ludacris in a laser-beamed set.
Earlier in the November 20 evening, Kelly Clarkson took the crowd to the 20s with her old-schooled theme performance of "Mr. Know It All". Donning a red long dress and wearing her hair in soft curls, she sang the single in front of her "wall of doubt" which was filled with newspaper clippings. She was surrounded by some guys posing as paparazzi.
The other musical guests at the event which took place at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles included will.i.am, Drake and LMFAO. The Black Eyed Peas member debuted his new single "T.H.E (The Hardest Ever)", Drizzy performed "Headlines", while Redfoo & Sky Blu closed the night with "Party Rock Anthem" / "Sexy and I Know It".

Another clinical score for Pluristem Therapeutics (NASDAQ:PSTI) with the FDA's recent grant of Orphan Drug status for PLX cells in aplastic anemia (AA), a rare and hard to treat blood disorder affecting under 200,000 patients in the US. In the bigger picture, AA often appears in cancer cases that require bone marrow transplant, broadening the possible market to $1.3 billion.
Two designations for Orphan Drug status (one for Buerger's Disease, a severe peripheral artery disease, was granted in August 2011) make Pluristem noticeable as an emerging drug firm with potential. Good standing with our US regulatory body is no small accomplishment and, in the current political environment, being recognized by the FDA as a company with clinical inroads to rare diseases could prove highly beneficial.
Orphan drug statistics show a global market expected to reach $112 billion in 2014, with the US accounting for over 50%, an unusual skew of worldwide demographics where our country typically claims about one-third disease incidence and prevalence verses the rest of the planet. Biologics make up 64% of orphan drugs with revenues surpassing $50 billion, and orphan drugs for cancer form about one-third of that.
Besides the potential economics, Pluristem is in a perfect position to gain from recent FDA changes. Years of pressure from patient advocacy groups and pharmaceutical lobbyists paid off in the newly-formed Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA), with a section devoted to a 'Breakthrough Therapy Designation' intended to go beyond fast track or accelerated approval of drugs for very serious and life-threatening diseases.
Still with a few criteria to hammer out, the Act will allow the FDA to grant progressive approval to companies whose compounds show outstanding results in early trials, where there is a clear improvement over existing therapies, and where the continuation of a control group getting less effective treatments would be unethical. The agency would lend itself to intensified communications with drug companies as early as during Phase I.
For rare diseases, there are two parts of the Act that 1) carve out a special priority review program for pediatric patients; and 2) establish a new consultation process where rare disease specialists confer with companies to form and refine the application to the FDA. Both of these are of enormous potential benefit to Pluristem because seeking a breakthrough designation like bone marrow transplant failure (up to 20% of patients are children) could make it eligible for progressive approval under aplastic anemia, the underlying disease for which it has proven clinical data in a life-threatening situation. The same could be said for Pluristem's treatment for Buerger's Disease, with no cure and high mortality.
The lack of completed final guidelines for the FDA's progressive approval program and the upcoming sequestration budget cuts of a proposed $85 billion that could slow the agency's speed in new drug approvals are two very real risks for Pluristem in its goals toward reaching the market; however, there is a strong grassroots commitment in making FDASIA work, particularly from patient groups like the Friends of Cancer Research, original sponsors of the Act. Since the initiative was put into motion late last year, two drug companies have benefited - Vertex Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:VRTX) for cystic fibrosis, where the FDA awarded the breakthrough designation based partly on pre-clinical data and Janssen, a Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) company for two rare forms of lymphoma.
I believe Pluristem is a safe bet for investors seeking an undervalued biotechnology stock that is reliably delivering on clinical and regulatory progress, has over $50 million in capital, and good relationships within the approval process in the US and overseas. Good news like this should be a strong indication of more to come.

Norwin football team looks to get rid of 'cloud'
Norwin football coach Art Tragesser believes his team is capable of achieving its goal of making the postseason.
For the Knights to overcome that, however, they'll need to overcome a familiar problem: beating themselves.
In a 21-0 loss to Altoona last week in the season opener, Norwin acted as its own worst enemy, committing four turnovers — including three deep in its own territory. Altoona converted on its short-field opportunities, scoring all three of its touchdowns on drives that began near the Norwin red zone.
"We just seem to have a cloud over our head," Tragesser said. "I don't know. I think we have enough quality football players to win. It's just we can't sustain something. It's always like we're looking around for something bad to happen, rather than for something good to happen. I firmly believe if we can get that spark or that one big play, who knows?
"I still think that we have a chance for a very good season, but we've just got to buckle down and look for good things rather than bad things."
Norwin will look for that spark Friday night, when the Knights travel to play rival Penn-Trafford at 7:30 p.m. The Warriors lost, 21-14, to nonconference opponent North Hills last week, but they beat Norwin in their last two meetings by a combined 62-7 score.
"We've got to step up our game because they're better than Altoona," Tragesser said. "They're going to be a playoff team in our section for sure. I'm going to see how our kids are going to respond. They've got to respond, they've got to meet the challenge and we've got to play as a team, hustle (and) keep our heads up. Maybe we'll get that big play."
While the Knights struggled against Altoona, Tragesser said the defense performed well. Last year, the unit allowed 33.2 points and about 350 yards per game.
Friday night, the defense held Altoona to just over 200 yards and zero extended scoring drives.
Tragesser said junior defensive tackle Corey Chrisman, making his first career start, and senior linebacker Zack Tinsley stood out defensively, as did the entire secondary. Junior Zach Hall intercepted a pass, and the Knights held the Mountain Lions to 36 yards through the air.
"That might have been the best we've played as a team in a long time," Tragesser said. "I forget how many three-and-outs (Altoona) had, but they had a lot. Third-down conversions, we were good — we held them. That's only half the game, though."
Offensively, sophomore quarterback Nick Amendola struggled with cramps and was replaced by junior Sean Bowen in the second half. The two combined to go 18 for 38 for 131 yards, with three interceptions.
"The quarterback's the leader on the field. He's the general," Tragesser said. "(But) it's not just them. It's the whole team. To throw a touchdown pass, it takes the line blocking, the kids catching it (and) the guy throwing it. It has to be a team thing. If we made a mistake, the team did it. If we make a good play, it's, 'The team did it.' We can't focus on just one or two plays from this position or that position."
Junior Logan Deri caught eight passes for 65 yards for Norwin, while senior Kyle Baum contributed five receptions.
As the Knights prepare to travel to Penn-Trafford, Tragesser is looking for improvement in several areas, with turnovers atop the list.
"Obviously, we can't turn the ball over," Tragesser said. "That's one thing. It just killed us Friday night. We've got to improve on that. We've just got to improve our focus, (and) we've just got to improve our team aspect — everyone doing their part, everyone contributing. Then the team will be successful."
The coach wouldn't mind a big play or two, either.
"It'll be like a fire if we can get that spark somehow," he said. "And not maybe even necessarily against Penn-Trafford, but for our whole season. We need something to get us going, (for) someone to come up with that big play. Maybe it will be a big goal-line stand, a big interception, a big run, a touchdown pass. Whatever it may be, we've just got to get away from this feeling of doom's going to strike at any time."

Every Thursday I'll present an interesting (to me, anyway) stat, break it down, and try to provide some context heading into the game the following weekend.
Rushing to judgment
The Jacksonville Jaguars are coming off the worst season in terms of rushing production in team history. The team set franchise lows in total rushing yards (1,369), average yards per game (85.6) and rushing touchdowns (five). Only the San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders had fewer rushing TDs (four). Obviously that was because Maurice Jones-Drew missed most of the season with a Lisfranc injury.
The ground game should be significantly better this season, and not just because Jones-Drew is healthy again. The Jaguars have the most depth in their backfield since Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor shared carries in 2008. The team signed unrestricted free agent Justin Forsett in March to be Jones-Drew's primary backup and a change-of-pace option. Forsett has rushed for 1,661 yards and eight touchdowns, and caught 100 passes for 768 yards and one touchdown and worked as a kickoff and punt returner in five seasons with Seattle, Indianapolis and Houston.
Though Forsett missed all of camp with a toe injury, he is expected to play on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Fifth-round draft pick Denard Robinson will get work as a running back and wildcat quarterback. He was a quarterback for much of his career at Michigan and holds the NCAA record for most rushing yards by quarterback (4,495), as well as the single-season record for rushing yards by quarterback (1,702).
One of the surprises of the preseason was first-year player Jordan Todman, who was the Jaguars' leading rusher (223 yards). He'll play mainly on special teams, but also will get work in the backfield.

Sigil Centre Image confusion

I have decided to live with off centred images just as I have learned to accept never getting the exactly perfectly measure of cream in my coffee. My quibble days are over with Sigil. I am where I am and want (almost) to be, and Sigil works for me.
These suggestions, though appreciated, are not for the dumbfounded and that I bid I am. I can barely get through the English language and its basic punctuation but to add a "<" or a "</" or an "=" is too much to ask this simple brain of mine.
I am so pleased that I have been able to go back to a Sigil epub previously made and executed as expected (pardoning off-centred images) and then to successfully add a further heading tweak, that I can live with this cup of imperfect coffee. In the near past, every time I tried to change or update or perfect my epub I worsened my situation but now I breeze through this programme with successes beyond my wildest hopes.
But I have a Dream. I should like to write a quick history of my travails to the state I now find myself with Sigil to aid the path of the dumbfounded past, present and future, or for those, who like I, can learn to live with skewed images.
On second thought, I'm going to try the tricks supplied. How it bugs me my image stands askew.

Texas Roadhouse Comes On Strong
I'm trying to stay optimistic about the market's ability to move higher from here, but I wasn't happy to see a higher-volume decline for the S&P 500 on Monday, nor was I happy about the Nasdaq's performance on Tuesday. Sellers came into the index late in the day, and the Nasdaq finished near its session low on higher volume. Despite a small gain for the index, the session had the feel of distribution.
Early Wednesday, a disappointing reading from ADP fueled more concerns about a weak jobs report on Friday. ADP said that private-sector jobs rose 119,000 in April, well below the consensus estimate of 170,000....564 more words left in this article.

Regular and prompt attendance at all classes is required. Responsibility for attendance at classes rests with the student. Instructors may specify particular academic penalties for infractions of the attendance policy. Students
who are absent because of religious beliefs will be given an opportunity to make up any missed examination or work requirements if they request it at least two weeks prior to the absence. No fee will be charged for this opportunity.
Students are classified according to the number of semester hours of credit they have earned and the number of semester hours carried. Listed below are the requirements for the respective classifications:
Full -Time: A student carrying 12 or more credits.
Part -Time: A student carrying fewer than 12 credits.
Freshman: An enrolled student who has not completed 30 credits.
Sophomore: A student who has successfully completed 30+ credits.
Junior: A student who has successfully completed 60+ credits.
Senior: A student who has successfully completed 90+ credits and has a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 (C average).
Non-matriculated: A student who has not been accepted by the College as a degree candidate.
Commencement is held once a year after the end of the spring semester. Students who have completed all requirements as of the end of the spring semester will be considered May graduates. Students who have no more than 6 credits to complete may be considered August graduates and may attend Commencement only if they pre-register for the remaining credits during the summer sessions. Graduation applications are to be submitted to the Registrar in mid September.
Once a student has matriculated at the College it is expected that the remainder of the courses required by his/her program of study will be taken on campus. Students who have not transferred credit to the College, however, may receive permission to take a maximum of six (6) credits off campus at an accredited college.
Appraisal of student work is done at a frequency and through techniques specified for each course by the instructor. The final grade is determined by the combined results of examinations, assignments, class participation, outside work, and application, as specified by the instructor at the beginning of the semester.
Grades are available through Banner Self Service for students.. The College reserves the right to withhold a student's report of grades, and to withhold granting of college credit, if the student has any indebtedness to the College. No grade may be changed after the first three weeks of the following semester.
Excellent. Indicates unusually high achievement. Students who merit A, in addition to fulfilling the minimum requirements, give evidence of the ability to work independently, read rather widely on their own initiative, organize the materials of the course in relation to its wider implications, give evidence in skill subjects of habitual errorless mastery.
Very good-superior. Indicates achievement demonstrably above average and an intelligent fulfillment of course requirements in a manner that approaches the excellence of the highest grade.
Good. Signifies a consistently high level of achievement and indicates that the course requirements have been fulfilled in an intelligent and above-average manner.
Very satisfactory. Signifies a more acceptable degree of understanding and consistent achievement than a C. Indicates that a student has mastered the basic course material, attended classes regularly, fulfilled assignments as required, and given evidence of mastery of the skills required for the course.
Satisfactory. Signifies acceptable understanding & consistent achievement of quality that satisfies the required graduation grade.
Inferior-passing. Indicates understanding and achievement below the average level expected of students and therefore warrants only minimum approval.
Failure. Indicates that the student's work does not merit a passing grade.
Repeated Course. Indicates that the student has repeated a course in which a grade of D or F had been received. Original grade is not counted towards GPA. Students may only repeat a course in which they have earned a grade of D or F. To repeat a course more than once, a student must obtain the permission of the Director of Academic Advisement or the Registrar. Repeated courses may not be taken as courses-by-appointment. Repeated courses MUST BE taken at STAC so that the original grade may be replaced in the cumulative grade point. The original grade is not counted toward GPA.
Withdrawal up to date specified in Academic Calendar. No credit granted.
Incomplete. Students who, because of an extraordinary circumstance, request an Incomplete must do so prior to the last day of class. A form must be completed by the student, signed by the instructor, and forwarded to the Registrar with the grade sheet. Incompletes are given at the discretion of the faculty member. For courses other than practicums/internships/ field study, no grade higher than a B (except in extenuating circumstances and then only with the permission of the Director of Academic Advisement and the Registrar) may be granted for an incomplete. All work must be submitted by the date stipulated by the instructor (but not later than one month prior to the end of the following semester), or the Incomplete becomes an F.
Pass indicates that the student has satisfied the requirements for the course. A Fail indicates that
the course goals have not been attained. No quality points are assigned to a Pass/Fail. Only those courses so indicated in the course listings may be taken on a Pass/Fail basis.
No show. Student never reported to class. No credit granted. No academic penalty.
Students may audit courses. Students who audit courses receive neither credit nor quality points
for the course. Audited courses do not satisfy degree requirements nor are they counted in determining student load.
For satisfactory reasons, the Director of Academic Advisement or the Registrar may give a student in good standing a leave of absence for a maximum period of two semesters. Requests for leave of absence must be in writing and submitted the semester prior to the semester desired. Obtain forms in the Records Office.
The College may award academic credit to students who have achieved the objectives of specific courses outside of traditional classroom instruction and who satisfactorily validate that achievement through the submission of a portfolio conforming to specified criteria. Applicants must be matriculated in a degree program at St. Thomas Aquinas College. Credit for Life Experience may be awarded as follows:
• A maximum of 30 Life Experience credits toward a Bachelor's Degree.
• A maximum of 15 Life Experience credits toward an Associate Degree.
The fee for the awarding of life experience credits begins at $300 and increases according to the number of credits awarded. Copies of the complete statement of the criteria and procedures for applying for Life Experience Credit are available in the Office of the Director of Academic Advisement.
One credit hour represents 50 minutes of lecture or recitation or 120 to 180 minutes of laboratory/studio work. Most courses carry 3 semester hours of credit.
Quality points are assigned to grades as follows: for each credit hour with a grade of A, 4 quality points; B+, 3.5; B, 3; C+, 2.5; C, 2; D, 1; F, 0. If a student earns a grade of A in a 3 semester hour course he/she receives 12 quality points; one who earns a grade of B receives 9 quality points, and so forth. The quality point index is determined by dividing the total number of quality points earned by the number of credits attempted, that is, the number of credits for which a student is registered, whether or not the courses are passed or failed
Since courses from which a student withdraws are not counted in credits attempted, they do not affect a student's average.
All matriculated students must register during regular registration periods or open registration. Non-matriculated students register during open registration. The Admissions Office notifies incoming freshmen and transfers of registration dates.
His/her assigned advisor must approve each student's registration. The registration may be rescinded at the discretion of the College if financial obligations are not met.
A late registration fee is charged after the semester begins. No credit will be given for a course in which a student has not formally registered. Students who wish to enter a course after the first week must have the permission of the Registrar. No student may enter a course after the second week of class.
For more information, visit our Registrar's website.
It is imperative that students continue to make satisfactory academic progress toward graduation and the acquisition of their baccalaureate degree. The college provides a variety of academic support services to assist students who are having - or wish to avoid - academic difficulties. To learn more about these services, please contact the Office of Academic Services (398-4028).
However, students who do not continue to make satisfactory academic progress are subject to being placed on probation, being suspended from the college, or being dismissed from the college. The following material states the college's criteria for judging satisfactory academic progress and the conditions which result from a student's failure to maintain satisfactory progress. Some academic programs have requirements in addition to those below. Students pursuing such programs must satisfy the additional requirements as determined by the relevant program director. Students who sign academic contracts as a condition of admission to the college and who do not fulfill the conditions of the contract may be placed on probation, suspended, or dismissed independent of the following criteria.
Satisfactory Academic Progress
Full-time students (and equivalent part-time students) are considered to be making satisfactory progress toward graduation and their degree if they have achieved:
Unsatisfactory Academic Progress
Full-time students (and equivalent part-time students) who do not fulfill the conditions for satisfactory academic progress are judged to be making unsatisfactory progress toward graduation and are subject to the following conditions.
Students on academic probation may not carry more than 12 credits a semester. And they may be further limited in their college activities. Students on probation must attain a semester grade point index of at least 2.0 for the current semester or be subject to suspension or dismissal.
Students may be placed on probation if: The cumulative grade point index falls below 1.8 but not below 1.5 during the first year of full-time enrollment; or if:
The cumulative grade point index falls below 2.0 but not below 1.8 during the second and subsequent years of full-time enrollment.
Students on academic probation must attend the Center for Academic Excellence on a weekly schedule (typically 2 hours per week) determined either by the student's academic advisor or the Provost & Vice President for Academic Affairs. In addition, students on academic probation must make an appointment with their academic advisor within the first week of the term, in order to arrange a schedule of periodic meetings with the advisor throughout the semester.
Students placed on suspension at the end of an academic semester may not attend the college for the subsequent semester. Suspended students may attend summer and inter-session courses. Readmission to the college following the semester of suspension may normally be gained by appealing in writing to the Director of Academic Advisement and indicating evidence of greater academic maturity.
Students may be suspended from the college if while on probation, the student achieves at least a 1.8 semester grade point index but less than a 2.0 grade point index; or if the semester grade point index falls below 1.5; or if
the cumulative grade point index falls below 1.5 during the first year of full-time enrollment; or if the cumulative grade point index falls below 1.8 but not below 1.5 during the second and subsequent years of full-time enrollment.
Students dismissed from the college may not register to attend it. There is no expectation that a dismissed student will be successful in appealing to return. Students may be dismissed from the college if while on probation, the student does not achieve at least a 1.8 semester grade point index; or if the cumulative grade point index falls below 1.5 in any semester of full-time enrollment after the second semester; or if a student is eligible for suspension for the second time.
Sexual harassment of students by faculty, staff or other students is contrary to College policy. If a student believes that he or she has been subjected to sexual harassment, the student should immediately report such harassment to the Vice President for Student Development. The Vice President shall undertake an investigation of the facts and circumstances forming the basis of the student's complaint. The complaint and investigation will be kept as confidential as possible. If the student is not satisfied with the handling of the complaint by the Vice President for Student Development, he or she should promptly bring the complaint to the attention of the President of the College. Any faculty member, staff member, or student found to have engaged in the sexual harassment of a student will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action up to and including suspension, termination or expulsion.
The normal student load is fifteen credits a semester. The maximum load permitted without extra charge is sixteen hours, including audited courses. Permission to carry more hours must be obtained from the Director of Academic Advisement or the Registrar. Such permission is ordinarily granted only to students with a cumulative quality point average of at least 3.2. Students who are engaged in student teaching are considered full-time and pay full tuition.
Prior approval is required to assure that the courses successfully completed off campus will apply to the student's course of study. Further information and application forms are available through the Office of Academic Advisement. The credit for the course will transfer to STAC if the grade is a "C" or better. In addition, students are expected to be registered at STAC for their last 10 courses.
In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, no one outside St. Thomas Aquinas College shall have access to, nor will the College disclose any information (other than "Directory Information") from students' records without the written consent of students, except to appropriate personnel within the College, to officials of other institutions to which students apply, to persons or organizations providing students with financial aid, to accrediting agencies involved in their accreditation process, to persons in compliance with a judicial order, to parents of dependent students, and to persons in an emergency to protect the health or safety of students or other persons. Standard "Directory Information" is not protected under the provisions of the Privacy Act. The College, however, will honor student requests (in writing) to withhold any or all of the "Directory Information," which includes such things as, name, address, email address, honors achieved in the curricular life of the college, individually identifiable photograph, telephone listing, date and place of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended. For further clarification students should consult the Registrar.
An official transcript is one bearing the seal of the College. Official transcripts of academic records are not given to students or graduates but are mailed directly to the college, professional or graduate school, government agency or business concern they designate. An unofficial transcript is one given to the person whose credits are listed thereon and marked "Student Copy." The College accepts no responsibility for the accuracy of the unofficial transcript after it has been issued.
Upon graduation, each student is entitled to one unofficial transcript of his/her college record. There is a fee of $5.00 for each additional transcript requested whether official or unofficial.
Transcripts will not be issued during registration periods, and during the three weeks following the end of each semester. The College does not accept hand-delivered official transcripts. All official transcripts from other institutions must be mailed by the issuing institution.
Students who wish to withdraw from a course must do so by the date indicated on the academic calendar (available in the Records Office). There is a $25 change of program fee. Withdrawal forms must be completed in the Office of the Registrar. Withdrawal from a course after the mid-term without permission of the Registrar automatically merits the grade of F.
A student who leaves the College during any semester or special session must complete a withdrawal form available from the Office of the Registrar. Students who withdraw from the College after the last posted drop date will receive grades as submitted by the faculty. Students who return after one full year, must reapply and will be subject to current curriculum requirements.

Edit: After half day, my wife's Mac started having the same problem. I have then applied the solution that I found in the Apple
You Will Have To Pay Extra For Facetime Over 3G on Vodafone UK
Today we have learned that one of the biggest UK mobile phone networks Vodafone UK has taken a note out of AT&T's book. Earlier this year we heard that Apple had made FaceTime over 3G available in iOS 6 but then to our disappointment we also heard from AT&T & now Vodafone UK that they will require users to have a VoIP add-on to their contract / plan.
New customers to Vodafone UK should be ok as the new plans come with VoIP and tethering as default.
All the other major UK networks O2, Orange, T-Mobile, and EE (Everything Everywhere) have confirmed that Facetime over 3G will be available on the current available plans and no add ons will be needed

Liz and her team made the entire affair stress free. From the 1st meeting to the last song service was #1. Easy to communicate with by email or phone. Expert advice from start to finish on food, set-up and even organizing other vendors. The venue is gorgeous, food is top notch, displays are classy & staff is superb. Oh, and it photographs exquisitely! What else could you need?
We are a Homecare agency and we hosted a holiday luncheon for our clients and their caregivers. Service was great! Hilary was wonderful! Highly recommend.
The Pavilion Grille is our go to place for our corporate holiday party. This is our third successful year. Again, the staff at The Pavilion went out of their way to make our party a success. From the delicious hors d'oeuvres, to the wonderful buffet - we had sirloin, turkey, salmon, Jambalaya (we had a Mardi Gras theme), to the martini potato bar, and Mediterranean Table, to including gluten-free pasta, to the wonderful Ice Cream bar and desserts, we couldn't have had a better dining experience. Our employees raved about the party. We had such a great time, we have already booked our next year's party. It's a winner! Barbara S. Stewart, Human Resources Manager
Our company had our company holiday party. I can only give everyone there 5 stars. Food was delicious, venue was beautiful, and staff couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. They went out of there way to insure that we had a great time. Barbara Stewart, HR Manager, Cell Science Systems Corporation
Our guests raved that our October 6th wedding was "the best wedding" they had ever attended! The Pavilion Grille and its staff were a huge part of that success. Everyone loved the food selection, bar, floor plan, and overall party atmosphere. I would recommend this venue to any couple who is looking for a unique place to celebrate, beyond a low-ceiling banquet room with gaudy, outdated chandeliers! The Pavilion Grille is completely awesome and if I had to choose my reception venue all over again, I would definitely choose it!
I chose this venue for my 50th Birthday Party and it was a hit. All my guest and family were amazed by the space and how it was divided into dance floor, bar and sitting areas. The display of the food and service provided was superb. The staff that care for us was always available when needed, but never in plain site during the party. Very nice touch. The care-taker of the event was helpful in keeping the moment going in the right direction, coming over to remind us, its time for dance, its time for food, its time to cut cake. Thank God because that gave me the ability to just have FUN!
Hosted a school sports banquet at the Pavillion Grille for 135 people. From my first interaction with the staff to the end of the banquet evening, was absolutely wonderful. Everyone was so professional and provided our guests such great service. I am in the service industry myself and have high standards. The Pavillion Grille exceeded all my expectations. Would definately recommend this venue. Thank you Liz and to all your fabulous staff for a memorable evening. Debbie
We held our daughter's party there this past March and could not have a better time. If your looking for a club atmosphere this is it. Just supply a great DJ and the staff at Pavilion does the rest. Great food, great bar (with virgin frozen drinks for the under 21s). My daughter and her friends had the BEST time.
We had our wedding reception here in March 2012. Every single person complimented us on the food and bar drinks! We are also being featured on a show called Four Weddings (On TLC. Season 4 - 2012 South Florida location)! The guest brides were MORE than impressed with the fantastic food and enjoyed everything! I would recommend this place to everyone! Fantastic service, food and awesome dance floor under an atrium!
Wonderful venue for an event. We had our office Christmas Party there 12/15/11 and the Food was excellent, Service was excellent and the event coordinators were exceptional. Thanks Liz and Ellen! See you in 2012!

Watchdog Energywatch and independent regulator Ofgem advised customers to shop around if their bills rise.
Npower said the cost of gas will rise by almost 12%, while the price of electricity will go up by 7.5%.
The UK's third-largest energy firm blamed higher wholesale costs, linked to surging oil prices, for the rise.
It is Npower's second price rise this year, although the company is promising it will now freeze prices until 2006.
Npower's decision means an average customer can expect to pay £42 extra a year for gas and £23 extra for electricity.
A London-based family of four living in a three-bedroom house who get gas and electricity from Npower will see their net bill rise by an extra £96.98 a year.
When you take Npower's earlier rise in prices into account, that family will pay a total of £130 extra.
The latest price increase will come into force on 1 October.
Body blow
Energywatch said Npower's price increases were a blow to consumers.
"Consumers cannot afford to wait any longer for action. We are paying the price for a flawed market through our bills," said Allan Asher, chief executive of Energywatch.
"UK consumers should not have to accept this never-ending series of huge price rises without a satisfactory explanation."
The watchdog called for an investigation by a body such as the European Commission into the root causes of high wholesale gas prices. It plans to host a meeting of energy companies to look at industry issues which may be preventing them from getting cheaper wholesale supplies.
Meanwhile, industry regulator Ofgem suggested customers use the price rises as an opportunity to shop around and see if they can get a better deal.
"There are no prizes for loyalty in the energy market," an Ofgem spokesman said.
Oil knock-on
Wholesale gas prices have risen nearly 40% in the past year, partly as a result of higher crude oil prices.
This in turn has affected the cost of electricity, as 40% of the UK's electricity is produced by gas-fired power stations.
There are six major gas and electricity suppliers and a range of smaller suppliers which disgruntled British Gas and Npower customers could switch to.
However, Powergen has already increased its prices twice this year and the other gas and electricity suppliers are expected to follow suit.
Npower, which has about six million customers across the UK, says it does expect to lose business but hopes to keep customers with its guarantee of no more rises until January 2006.
"We realise that any increase is unwelcome and has implications for households trying to manage their bills, so our new rates will be frozen until 2006, allowing all our customers to budget with confidence," said David Threlfall, chief executive of Npower retail.
Drying up
Last month, British Gas also reacted to higher wholesale prices by announcing that household gas bills would rise by 12.4% and electricity by 9.4% from 20 September.
Centrica, which owns British Gas, warned that depletion of the North Sea and Irish Sea gas reserves is taking its toll, forcing companies to import more supplies.
And with the added factor of record oil prices, costs are spiralling even more.
Once a net exporter of gas and oil, the UK is on the brink of becoming a net importer in the next year or two for the first time since North Sea oil was discovered in the 1970s, according to the Energy Information Centre (EIC).
By 2015, it is forecast that 75% of the UK's gas requirements will need to be imported.

MAC Spice
I first purchased this beauty editor-recommended lip pencil in 1993, after reading about a new-to-me brand called M.A.C. in a fashion magazine. Touted as a universally-flattering liner, it was supposed to be the only lip pencil a woman needed, but it was just OK, a touch too warm. I used it sporadically over the next few years and then lost or tossed it. A couple years ago I repurchased it, and it was much worse than I'd remembered; it now looked orange on me.
Not one of the Orgasmic blush, lip gloss, nail polish, or multiple (highlighter) flatters my skin tone.
I sometimes wonder if Orgasm has reached cult status on its name alone, as there is nothing especially unique about the color. Surely this shimmering peachy pink blush looks beautiful on many ladies, but it just makes me look feverish, and I'd rather get that flush the old fashioned way.
Stila Kitten
This eyeshadow is so pretty in the pan, a shimmering champagne-pink beige that I hoped would be like a second skin for my eyelids. But, alas, no.
Instead I get an uber-sparkly finish that highlights every flaw around my eyes and makes the skin look like crumpled tissue paper. If anyone knows of a more satiny pinkish-beige that is cool toned, please let me know because that color would nicely round out my eyeshadow collection.
Chanel Mademoiselle
How could one little lipstick, described as a muted rose pink, turn into such a terracotta horror fest on me?
I am convinced that Mademoiselle is the Mood Ring of lipsticks. It looks so rosy and beautiful on Vanessa and in the tube, but it turns a hideous brown-orange on me--and that surprises me because my lips are a medium-pigmented mauve-rose that usually turn most lipsticks cool or cooler.
Urban Decay Primer Potion
This primer gets much love, but not from me. I expect primer to even out skin tone, so eyeshadow I apply over it is unadulterated by red skin or blue veins. UDPP is a beige silicone product that provides nice slip, but worsens the appearance of my eyelid skin, making it look crepey. I also hate the packaging, which wastes a lot of goop.
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer
I really wanted to like this TM because I am a huge fan of Laura Mercier products. Alas, it is too dewy for me (and I do not care for the oil-free version), but the worst bit is that the chemical sunscreen reddens my skin, defeating the purpose of evening out my skin tone.
Clinique Black Honey
This "almost" lipstick continues to win awards in beauty magazines--it's even in Elle magazine's Hall of Fame. I once read that Madonna wore it on the cover of her Ray of Light album, and Black Honey is THE "lipstick" that beauty pundits insist is universally flattering. It is not. I am part of the universe, and Black Honey is not flattering on me.
Although it is described as an ultra-sheer berry stain, I see a reddish-brown raisin color. It has the unwanted tackiness of a lip gloss, and it has no staying power. I realize a sheer lip product won't last long, but I get better mileage from lipstick/gloss hybrids by Chantecaille and Laura Mercier. Worse, Clinique's formulation dries my lips. I much preferred Clinique's Sheer Raspberry Almost Lipstick back when they sold more than just this single color.
Other super-popular products that don't wow me:
- MAC Lip Glass. Too sticky and product accumulates in the corners of my mouth.
- MAC Paint Pots. Stiff and drying. And while Painterly looks perfect in the pot, it turns orange on me.
- Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser. I cannot use this product for the chemical stench of it alone.
- Essie Ballet Slippers. Continually cited in magazines as the perfect pale pink, this nail polish gives me lobster hands.
- LipFusion Plumping Gloss. It's gloss, after all.
The Good
This post would be unbalanced if I didn't include some of the products that I think are worth the hype. Here are just a few of the hyped-up products I love.
|YSL Touche Eclat
I adore this highlighter/concealer hybrid. So much, in fact, that I am on my third, which is unprecedented for fickle old me. It doesn't conceal as well as it highlights, but my undereye circles aren't that awful, and it provides some nice brightness along the nasolabial fold. I apply it in the inverted V made famous by Trish McEvoy, and my skin just glows.
|Shu Uemura eyelash curler
After years of using a Revlon curler, I was initiated into the shu cult, and I love this curler for giving me truly curled lashes, not that crazed crimp reminiscent of the curling-iron bang circa 1984.
|Lancôme Definicils Mascara
I can't believe I walked by the Lancôme counter for more than a decade without trying their Definicils mascara, even though I read countless reviews on how great Defincils is. It really is most excellent. The black has the barest whisper of navy undertone.
|WEN Cucumber Aloe Cleansing Conditioner
I've tried the no-poo method using straight-up conditioner and my hair felt great. For a couple days. Then the greasies would come back with a vengeance. A lovely blogger sent me several huge samples of WEN. I tried it, loved it, and ordered the full size. Still loving it, and this is so worth the hype, even on my ultra-fine, thin hair. WEN leaves it soft and manageable without any frizz or dryness. I can even skip a day washing, and I don't have to use the above-mentioned hair oil. It's really a shame you need to use so much, as this stuff isn't cheap. I'd love to know of cheaper alternatives because there will come a point where I tired of spending so much on hair cleanser.
|Chanel nail polish
What can I say that hasn't already been said. I love Chanel polish, from the colors to the formulation. Elegant packaging, decent longevity, and beautiful, unique colors. I don't wear nail polish often, but when I do, it's almost always Chanel I reach for.
|BeautyBlender sponge
I admit I was among the first to pooh-pooh this silly-looking sponge, but it really does provide a poreless finish, from liquid foundation to tinted moisturizer to BB cream. And it doesn't suck up much product if you use it damp. Worth it.
|Bobbi Brown Eyeliner Gel
A decent color selection and amazing longevity, I own a couple of these (Granite Ink and Graphite Shimmer), more than I will ever use in my lifetime. I love that I can apply the gel over the lashline, poked into the lash roots, or I can tighlined from below without irritation (as long as I let the pigment dry before I start blinking). The color stays put ALL day, which is a double-edged sword because it can be quite challenging to remove if tightlined. Bobbi Brown gel liners are the best out there.
|Shiseido Pureness Oil-blotting Papers
My skin is no longer as oily as it once was, but there was a time when I would not go anywhere without my Shiseido papers. I discovered them around 1987 and thought they were a brilliant idea. Shiseido might have been the first, but now many makeup brands carry these blotting tissues.
And for the sake of full disclosure, here are some of the cult items I have never tried:
- La Mer anything. I chortled when my friend, Veuve, called it Le Meh.
- Le Métier de Beauté Eye Kaleidoscopes. I don't care for the need to layer. If an eyeshadow color does not stand on its own, it doesn't get purchased. Life is too busy and short for co-dependent makeup.
- Spray-on foundation, any kind. How does one keep it off your hair and brows and eyelashes? Eek, no, not interested.
- Urban Decay Naked Palette. It looks so pretty in the palette, but there is too much shimmer and too many warm colors.
- MAC Russian Red lipstick. I believe this is matte or satin formulation. Most MAC lipstick is already drying on me, so it's a no go.
- Preparation H as an undereye puffiness reducer. Some things are best left where they belong.
What are your must-have cult products and which ones disappointed you?

'Couldn't Happen to a Bigger Cunt:' Elton John Shares His Feelings About Madonna...
Madonna, who has generated some headlines in recent weeks (though not from us) over the use of swastikas and gun pointing during her shows, got majorly called out by Elton John. Read the rest of the vitriol over at NME:
''She's such a nightmare. Sorry, her career is over. Her tour has been a disaster and it couldn't happen to a bigger cunt."

Hi guys,
I'm a bit new to the web design world, so bear with me.I am recreating my client's current website. They are using a basic CMS template editor that the host of the site (justhost.com) provided, so not WordPress or anything. I have been building the new site layout offline in editors, rather than using CMS templates. My client wants to be able to update the site with "deals" and "specials" they're having, so they would not be updating the whole page, just a section.
My question to you; is it possible to use a CMS program, such as WordPress, on a static web page to allow my client to update only a section of the page? So say I have a whole 1000px wide page, but I only want them to be to edit a 300px section on the left side for their deals.
I hope this makes sense. Thanks a lot!
There are lots of CMSes for this sort of thing. Check out examples like [Perch (hosted on your own site) or [URL="http://www.surrealcms.com/"]Surreal](http://grabaperch.com/) (hosted externally).
CMSes like these are designed for essentially static sites. With them, you choose sections on your pages to be editable. So they are well suited to statics sites that were built without a CMS.
Thanks a ton for a quick reply. I will definitely keep these in mind!

Before we wave goodbye to 2011 and welcome in another year, here's a look back at some of the noteworthy stories that happened in and around the Ahwatukee Foothills community.
As we have come to expect, 2011 showed how dedicated to charity and helping other is to the people in this community, no matter how old you are. Local elementary, middle and high schools dug in and, for the most part, did it all on their own. One example is back in May, the students at Kyrene Altadena Middle School raised more than $12,000 for the organization Feed My Starving Children. The money allowed them to pack close to 58,000 meals at the packing plant in Tempe, which the organization will ship to underdeveloped countries around the world.
"It was inspiring to learn about what is going on in the rest of the world so we wanted to help out in any way we could," said Hannah Dooley, 12, a student at Altadena.
On that same note, the Tempe location of FMSC was named one of just six permanent packing locations in the United States and was the first outside of the Midwest, where the organization was founded.
The grown-ups in Ahwatukee Foothills fared just as well this year. Thousands of dollars were raised throughout the year to benefit a variety of causes, from breast cancer to local food shelters and more.
For the second year, Team THRIVR and its Ahwatukee Foothills players once again raised the most amount of money out of all teams in Arizona to the tune of $126,000. The money was raised for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure, a 60-mile walk spread out over three days.
Mountain Pointe and Desert Vista High School students also got into the fight against cancer. The cosponsored Relay for Life brought in about $145,000 for the American Cancer Society this year. That amount was the second highest raised by any Relay for Life high school event in the country and earned recognition from the American Cancer Society.
"We wish we had that same support that we get in Ahwatukee Foothills at other high schools," said Michelle Broek, spokesperson for the American Cancer Society. "Their event is definitely highly regarded in the larger Relay network in Arizona. It's really great to think how they get so many people involved."
The high schools made a lot of noise in the community outside of fundraising as well. Desert Vista High School received the A+ School of Excellence award by the Arizona Educational Foundation (AEF) and Dr. Anna Battle was named State School Principal of the Year by the National Association of Secondary School Principals. Mountain Pointe received the A+ award in 2010.
"It was a wonderful experience," Battle said in an email. "The teachers, students, staff, administration and parent organizations of Desert Vista all were represented and truly excited about the accomplishments of this amazing institution. God has blessed me to serve such an amazing community."
The accolades continued to roll in for the Thunder. They won their second consecutive Division 1 Arizona State Marching Band Championship (out of only the three years the award has been in existence) and then took home the state championship in football.
"It's the first time in the state something like this has happened and it's a neat feeling because (football coach Dan) Hinds and I were hired at the same time (in 2002)," band director Josh Thye said. "It has been a great experience working with him and the support goes both ways."
Mountain Pointe made national news twice in recent months. In September, the school was one of only four schools nationwide to win the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts National Schools of Distinction in Arts Education Award. The honor was given to schools with innovative art programs that are successful in individual areas such as theater, dance, vocal performance, drawing and painting.
"It validates the hard work everyone has done to create these programs," principal Bruce Kipper said. "We have made a concerted effort to build these programs in a unique way... Whether (a student) wants to be a painter, chef or a computer person, we know they will be taking classes useful to them. The idea is that every kid has an individual learning plan."
Freshman student Kiana Brown won the KIDZ Star USA Talent Search, picked from an original field of 45,000 contestants. She received a record contract with RCA Records and will appear in a music video, a commercial and contribute to the "KIDZ BOP 21" CD.
"It was a crazy moment and I can't really get my mind to process what has happened," Brown said after a school-wide assembly to celebrate her win in late October.
On a more somber note, the country also paid homage to the tenth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Mark Honaker, ceramics teacher at Desert Vista High School, and his students went all out in their effort to remember the events of that day.
Honaker transformed his room at DV into a living, breathing 9/11 experience complete with actors dressed as firefighters and civilians going around the room like it was the stairwell in the twin towers.
"My brother was a Tempe firefighter and my motivation is to the firefighters," Honaker said. "To me, this is about who rose up and responded (on Sept. 11, 2001)."
Past and present Ahwatukee Foothills resident veterans came into the spotlight for creating organizations to aid their fellow servicemen and women. Anthony Ameen used his experience in fighting for his military and governmental benefits to start an organization called Wings for Warriors. He sees his organization as a way to teach returning veterans what kinds of resources are available if they come back wounded and fighting for the benefits they are entitled to receive.
"They make you fight for it (claims)...and everyone who calls me (veterans) is griping and complaining about the same thing," said Ameen, who has had a number of surgeries and lost his left leg from the knee down. "I had 18 to 20 surgeries in that first year (after losing his leg). My parents would fly to San Antonio with a day's notice. It definitely wasn't cheap. And parents want to be there when their kid has surgery."
The year was full of positive experiences created out of the hard work and dedication of individual and groups of community members. We can close the book on 2011 and look forward to the opportunities for success in 2012.

A HOUSE in Bacup was given a makeover when it appeared on a property renovation television series.
The dilapidated, traditional two-bedroom terrace house in Stanley Mount, off Greensnook Lane, featured on Homes Under the Hammer on BBC One. The house was bought at auction by Andy and Russ, business partners who run a property developing company, for just £20,000.
Before snapping up the property, the pair offered the former owner £26,000 to buy it from him, but were refused and followed it to auction.
In just over six weeks, the developers transformed the 'outdated' house into a home an investor then bought from them for £65,000.
Presenter Lucy Alexander described the property as 'a great first-time buyer's investment, or family home, in a historical town with plenty of character'.
She said: "The houses in this conservation area have special and historical interest, as they are in one of the best preserved cotton towns in England."
Russ, who has a background in construction and runs the development side of the business, said: "We're expecting to spend around £15,000.
"We'll get our team of builders working on it and it should be done in six weeks."
When the newly renovated home was unveiled, complete with freshly painted magnolia walls, newly carpeted floors, and a breakfast bar in the kitchen, Claire Ashworth, of Duckworths Estate Agents in Rishton, said: "It's a lot better than last time I visited it. Everything's been improved."
Scott Riley of Clifford, Smith Sutcliffe in Burnley, said: "It's a nice neat and tidy house, and they've done a good job."

Shareef, Hussain and Mustafa, Mohd. Wazir (2006) A compact high-frequency link inverter for UPS application. International Review of Electrical Engineering 2006, 1 (3). pp. 381-390. ISSN 1827-6660
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://www.praiseworthyprize.com/IREE_vol_1_n_3.ht...
This paper presents the design of a compact and lightweight bidirectional high-frequency link inverter that can be suitably used for uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). The electrical isolation between the mains and the load is provided by a centre-tapped high-frequency transformer. The inverter is controlled by a Deadbeat controller, which consists of inner current loop, outer voltage loop and a feedforward controller. A 1 kVA prototype inverter has been designed and constructed. The experimental results show that the inverter has high efficiency (91%) with low output voltage distortion (THD less than 1.5%)

Fans of the NFL likely took notice of Commissioner Roger Goodell's $44.2 million pay package in 2012. Say what you will about the job he's done since taking the helm in September 2006, but that's a lot of money for someone who runs a sports league — even the world's most successful one.
Executive compensation is serious business. Just as shareholders should be concerned about corporate compensation policies, fans should be aware of what goes on behind closed doors at the NFL. After all, doling out $44 million to Goodell each year means higher ticket prices, cable packages, etc. It all trickles down.
In the Times' article, Professor Rodney Fort, a sports economist at the University of Michigan, is quoted: "We look at the numbers and go crazy, but we need to ask ourselves, 'How many people are there who can do this job, and what is the going rate?'"
Goodell is by all accounts a smart man. But there are plenty of smart men — and women — running corporations in America. I believe many of them are qualified to do the job, most of whom could and would do it for less.
Here are three CEOs I could see running the NFL and whose combined compensation in 2012 was less than Roger Goodell's. Sometimes paying less than the going rate isn't such a bad thing.

I think it's been about three days since Microsoft announced that they will release
a new version of IE. The announcement was so thoroughly blogged and discussed that
I didn't bother blogging it myself (I was too busy reading what others had written),
but now that the dust has settled, I want to offer my two cents.
First, if you haven't done so already, you might want to check out the official
Microsoft press release. If you're in a hurry, I'll save you the trouble. Here's
the most relevant excerpt:
Gates announced Internet Explorer 7.0, designed to add new levels of security
to Windows XP SP2 while maintaining the level of extensibility and compatibility
that customers have come to expect.
Next, read the post
on the IEBlog. Again, I'll save you the trouble:
…we listened to customers, analysts, and business partners. We heard a clear
message: "Yes, XP SP2 makes the situation better. We want more, sooner. We
want security on top of the compatibility and extensibility IE gives us, and we
want it on XP. Microsoft, show us your commitment."
What I'm hearing loud and clear here is that Microsoft wants to release a new
version of IE for XP, and they want to focus on security. Now read
the comments left in response to the post on IEBlog. They are far too numerous
to even paraphrase here, and it would probably take you all day to read through
them all, but just read a few at random and the message will be clear, which is
that security updates are fine, but what Microsoft really needs to focus on is
standards compliance and rendering. In other words, "maintaining the level of extensibility
and compatibility that customers have come to expect" is not what customers are
Microsoft has put itself in an interesting position. They have publicly announced
that they are listening to their customers, and are committed to giving them what
they want, however they have also indicated that their agenda is not consistent
with what it appears their customers want. I will reserve judgment, but one thing
I will say is that it's not yet clear to me whether Microsoft has created an
opportunity for themselves with this announcement, or for Firefox.
