December 3: The latest AP MBB poll has been posted and the Total Appearances are now current.
December 3: The latest AP WBB poll has been posted and the Total Appearances are now current.
December 1: Here are the milestones for the latest AP football poll:
Last Appearances: - Florida State makes first appearance at #1 since the 10/1/2000 poll (221 polls) - Michigan State makes first appearance in the Top 10 since the 9/9/2012 poll (27 polls) Weekly Streaks: - Alabama's #1 streak ends at 15 - Clemson's Top 10 streak ends at 14 Total Appearances: - Missouri ties BYU for #35 - Oklahoma State ties Kansas State for #42 - Oregon and Stanford tie Mississippi for #31 - Texas ties Nebraska for #7 - UCF ties three others for #112
November 24: Random stat... Michigan has broken the all-time consecutive games scoring streak.
November 19: New research about AP #1s in football has been added.
November 16: A missing poll has been discovered and submitted by Kevin B. The November 18, 2003 poll (2004 season) has been verified and added to the database. Total Appearances for those teams appearing in the poll have been updated, which includes Stanford now with 200.
Any existing links to polls on or after 11/18/2003 will open the wrong poll.
November 12: Kentucky vs Michigan State was the 40th meeting of #1 and #2 (ESPN reported it as the 39th, but has not replied to my tweet). Each has won 20 games and averaged 74 points. The #1 team has lost seven of the last nine games.
Note: Since ESPN was also reporting prior/during the game that #1 had lost six of the last seven games, and I had six of eight, the one game in question may be the 1999 game between Duke and Michigan State. This game was also missing from the NCAA Records Book (my original source) and was brought to my attention by Kevin B.
November 1: "So you're telling me there's a chance." Since 1936, eight eventual AP National Champions (10%) were ranked outside the Top 10 at some point in November... Lowest Rank by Month for AP National Champions
September 24: Michigan's drop in two straight AP polls after winning games was the 10th such instance that I could find since 2008 and the third just this season. It was also the largest net drop of those instances.
Note: The Wall Street Journal has published a story related to this.
September 17: Alabama's win over Texas A&M was the sixth straight for the AP #1 team on the road against a Top 10 opponent. The last loss was Texas at Texas Tech in 2008.
September 15: Based on an error with Miami (FL) on Chris Fowler's ballot, an updated AP poll was published. There were no actual changes to the rankings, just to the total points:
September 15: Three Florida teams have been ranked in the AP Poll 287 times out of 1057 polls through September 15. Here are the top three streaks with the Gators, Seminoles, and Canes all being ranked in the AP poll: 86 (1990-95) 32 (1999-01) 28 (1995-97)
August 15: Two days ahead of its release, here are some pre-preseason AP football poll notes:
April 6: Ways to make college football's Final Four perfect – No. 1, expand it to eight teams (Ed. note: And have first round games hosted on the campus of higher-ranked/seeded teams).

Top Ten Steps To Effective Delegation
Executives and managers are often left feeling frustrated when their staff doesn't perform a task the way they expected. This can be eliminated by sharpening your communication and filling in the gaps that are often left open for interpretation. Here are some guidelines.
Step 1. Know what the task is.
Step 2. Have the end result/desired outcome you want to produce in mind.
Step 3. Find the person you need to delegate to and give them the task.
Step 4. Share with them the results you desire.
Step 5. Ask and inform them why it's important. Making someone feel needed, included and part of the team helps them do a better job, rather than simply telling them what to do.
Step 6. What is the advantage for them to take care of this task? Acknowledge not only their role but how performing this will benefit them.
Step 7. Ask them how it's going to get done. Ask questions such as, "What do you feel is the best way to handle/complete this?" "How have you handled something like this in the past?" The answers to these questions will determine if they are comfortable performing this task and whether or not they have the right tools/information/strategy needed to complete it. (Caution: while doing this, be careful not to sound condescending. I.e.: "So repeat back what I just told you.")
Step 8. Determine the exact time frame that you want the task finished by. "When do you feel you can complete this?" This creates ownership in the person's mind to get it done, since they are creating the time line themselves. (If the time they choose isn't appropriate, ask what would have to happen for it to be completed sooner.)
Step 9. Reconfirm: That can sound like, "Okay great, then you will be able to have ______done by........ ?" Or "So, I can expect the paperwork on my desk by tomorrow at....?"
Step 10. Most importantly, make sure you follow up at that anticipated time the task was to be completed to ensure it was done. Otherwise, you run the risk of training the person not to be accountable by sending the message that it's okay for tasks not to be completed.

Voice of the Editor
Which isn't completely true. I mean, occasionally I drop by when I manage to sneak out of the nonstop frat party over at Going Concern, but I'm mostly a wallflower over there. I'm happy to say that I've been given express permission (or explicit orders, if you like) to wander over here to AccountingWEB more often.
Why is that, you might ask? My job is to replace the irreplaceable Gail Perry as Editor-in-Chief. What does that mean? I don't really know! I think it'll be fun getting a feel for things, throwing in my own thoughts here and there, and listening to the discussions you're having about the accounting profession.

Mark Slavit is the Columbia Bureau chief and the Mid-Missouri Traveler.
BOONE COUNTY, MO. -- Authorities have arrested a fifth person in connection with several burglaries in eastern Boone County.
Deputies arrested Christopher Huffstetler, 21, after finding about $3,000 worth of stolen property in his home on Wednesday night in the Blue Acres Trailer Park.
Investigators said Huffstetler and 4 other people burglarized numerous businesses on May 26.
The other suspects are Nathan Clayton, 21, Angela Clayton, 22, Kelsey Skouby, 22 and James Walters, 46.
Wednesday night's arrest brings the total amount of stolen property to about $8,000.
All 5 suspects also face various drug charges.
Numerous electronic items, office equipment, a laptop computer, a TV and a checkbook were all believed to be stolen from Magnus Enterprises near the Centralia exit on Interstate 70.
Investigators said this burglary case in an ongoing investigation and more arrests are possible.

Read how one young family has pressed on
Two years after a dramatic spike in teen pregnancies at Gloucester High School began to draw local attention — and 20 months after a global media circus descended upon the city on reports of an alleged "pregnancy pact" — a third film about the saga is headed for a special big-screen premiere Thursday night in Cambridge.
But in contrast to the locally panned and fictionalized Lifetime Networks film "The Pregnancy Pact," which reopened raw wounds for many in Gloucester last month, this independent documentary film is drawing praise from local and state health officials close to the teen pregnancy issue then and now.
The filmmakers are showcasing "The Gloucester 18" in a special screening and post-film panel discussion organized by the Massachusetts Alliance on Teen Pregnancy.
"What we saw in the film was the true spectrum of what happens in teen pregnancy," said Dr. Brian Orr, who directed Gloucester High's health clinic as the 2007-2008 pregnancy spike unfolded.
"There was the story of a premature baby that is in the film, and an infant death; teen mothers are at higher risk for prematurity and sudden infant death syndrome," Orr noted.
"What played out here is not the pregnancy pact, but the reality of what happens with teen pregnancies," he said. "It's not a pretty picture."
Orr noted the prevalent outcomes of teen pregnancies, with the young parents dealing with poverty, prematurity, miscarriage, abortion and other issues.
"I think what this movies helps to show is that as a result of our teenage pregnancy crises, we had a systemic paralysis," he said. "There was total paralysis on how to handle it and even discuss it. But I think we got over that in Gloucester in regard to having the conversation about what do you do and what's helpful."
The 67-minute film, directed by John Michael Williams, with former Gloucester Times reporter Kristen Grieco as the story's producer, includes interviews with several of the teens, parents and friends, and follows at least one through the latter stages of her pregnancy. It also includes updates on the young families — and notes that teenage pregnancy is on the rise across the nation.
A number of interviews also confirm issues that have been reported in the Times and elsewhere, but not spotlighted. For example, Orr — who has worked in teen health clinics for two decades — refutes what he calls the perception that the 18 pregnancies "produced 18 babies." In the film, he states that about a third of the pregnancies were terminated.
The documentary notes there are an estimated 750,000 teen pregnancies a year in the United States, the highest in the developed world, putting the nation at a level with Third World countries. The film follows both Lifetime's "The Pregnancy Pact," and 2009's "Eighteen Pregnant Schoolgirls," a documentary by London-based October Films broadcast by the British Broadcasting Corporation — including BBC America. The British film was also carried by the Canadian Broadcast Corporation (CBC) as part of a weekly investigative series.
"I think others can take a lesson from this episode in Gloucester and get away from excuses that birth control is dangerous, which is an adult excuse," said Orr. "Let's have a real conversation and try to get a systemic approach to the problem."
Grieco — who as a Gloucester Times reporter in March 2008 broke the story that 10 GHS students were pregnant at the time, and then-Principal Joseph Sullivan expressed concern that a number of the pregnancies were intentional — said "The Gloucester 18" filmmakers' mission was to carry out an in-depth look at the Gloucester issue in the months and year that followed. Grieco left the Times to take a public relations position in April 2008 before joining Williams on the film project.
"Everyone was turning around (news) stories in a day or two, but we delved into it," she said.
"The whole pact was the least interesting part," she said. "The really interesting thing was the universal lessons you could learn out of Gloucester about teen pregnancy. First of all you can't paint the entire teen population with one broad brush to understand why girls get pregnant."
Of the 12 girls interviewed in the film, two were on the fringe of the "pact." One girl only attended Gloucester High for about a week and no longer lives here. Another teen mother, now 21, already had graduated and had both her children before this group of girls became pregnant.
When asked if she believed there was a pact after the investigation, Grieco said they did not find any such evidence.
"My conclusion is that it was a word that (then-GHS principal Joseph) Sullivan and (Time magazine reporter Kathleen) Kingsbury used," she said. Sullivan had also told the Times he was concerned that a "clique" of girls was trying to become pregnant, so distributing birth control to students would not have helped the situation.
"(The idea of a pact) is an adult putting a word behind teenage behavior, and that usually doesn't pan out," Grieco said. "It is such a sinister word that is distracting from the real issues. The girls had been ostracized by media coverage and were getting labeled because of the inflammatory word."
The filmmakers talked to 12 of the 18 girls, though four chose not to go on camera, and not all had their babies.
Alissa Silva, the mother of one of the girls, said on film that she and her daughter learned about the "pact" while watching television. In a later segment, the elder Silva recalled that, when she was at Gloucester High, there were 14 pregnant girls.
Kim Daley, the nurse practitioner at the clinic, was interviewed at length. When talking about the alleged pact, she said: "It didn't change anything at the end of the day. What difference does it make?"
Both Orr and Daley resigned over what they saw was the process involved in getting clearance to bring the topic of birth control at a community level, not just at the advisory committee level.
Daley notes in the film that the pregnancy numbers at Gloucester High were lower than many other places — noting that urban schools can have upward of 70 pregnancies a year.
The filmmakers also talked to teens and school counselors in Lowell and in Springfield to confirm those points.
After Thursday's premiere — set for 7:30 after a 6:30 p.m. reception at the Kendall Square Cinemas, Grieco said there are not yet any plans for a local viewing. She said she, Williams and others are still working on the film's distribution.
Orr said he believes the movie could have a place with pregnancy prevention programs. In the film, he talked about the impact on the next generation.
"When you look at long-term statistics of children of teenagers, the girls are more likely to be teenage mothers themselves and the boys of teen-age mothers have a higher rate of incarceration. This is probably due to parenting and relationship issues," he said. "These teen mothers don't have parenting skills to navigate their teens through their teenage years. They didn't navigate themselves through teenage years."
When asked why he believed there was such a spike with the 18, as compared to the usual four or five a year, he said there is no single answer.
"But there's probably at least a part of that is linked to the history of Gloucester and a lot of these young women had teen mothers," he said. "Because of that, the risk is there.
"The other part we have to recognize," he added, "is that we are seeing a rise in teen pregnancy across the country in the past two years, and this is the tail end of abstinence only program across the country. It's unfair to single out Gloucester."
The film doesn't address all the repercussions of the story; for example, Sullivan abruptly retired as GHS principal in August 2008, then some two weeks later took a job heading a Catholic elementary school in Wakefield.
The film does, however, provide updates on several of the young mothers, their babies and their families — and it poignantly addresses the tragic October 2008 death of the Silva baby, reportedly from sudden infant death syndrome.
"This movie just tells the truth," Orr said. "The Gloucester story has been out there in such a false way and this is the truth — even with the negative side of the issue."

Monday message board
It's time, once again for the Monday Message Board. As usual, civilised discussion and absolutely no coarse language, please.
It's time, once again for the Monday Message Board. As usual, civilised discussion and absolutely no coarse language, please.
I had a look at the new tabloid-sized Courier Mail this moring and found it strangely seemed to fit perfectly with the usual, dumbed-down Murdoch Inc. content.
Had to laugh at the editorial (something about "serving the community")…
Those of us in South East Queenslander can take our pick of the Murdoch-owned Courier Mail, the Murdoch-owned Australian or local papers like the Murdoch-owned Gold Coast Bulletin.
And you wonder why people vote Liberal / support the war / etc…
What about this amazing cricket game yesterday between Australia and South Africa. Australia scores a world-record-breaking innings but holds the world record for only a few hours. South Africa beats their total with one ball to spare and wins the game and the series. Explanations?
The only scores that have even got close to those ones have been between minnows and medium rank teams. It must of been one heck of a spectacle for those in the stadium. Almost (but only almost) make me wish I had been there.
Just glad I am not a bowler though – very dispiriting.
It was a close game, as a lot of one day games are, but it was not a great game, let alone the greatest ever, as some are claiming.
The game is called 'cricket', not 'batting'.
A good game of one day cricket is where there are two innings of real contest between bat and ball. Last night was a farce.
John, I just wanted to pick up on something that you said on the now flamed-into-oblivion Crooked Timber Zizek thread; you commented that you'd read so many bad papers claiming that Godel's Impossibility Theorem meant that economic equilibrium was impossible that you were going to ignore them all until one of them won the Fields Medal.
It's just that … isn't it *true* that there are Goedelian arguments which establish that equilibrium is impossible in a model with perfect foresight? There's a proof of this in von Neumann & Morgenstern, under the analysis of the Holmes/Moriarty problem. I know JvN didn't actually win the Fields Medal but I bet he could have done if he'd wanted to.
I know you're not a massive fan of game theory either, but I'd invite you to reconsider this one. I think I've plugged Barkley Rosser's excellent paper on the vN/M "Holmes/Moriarty Problem" from Metroeconomica before several times on CT but here it is again:
Uncle Milton, Don't be such a grump. Everyone likes exciting batting and a close finish. How on earth could you say it was a 'farce'? Did you see it or or are you just exercising some on the old anti-Packer venom from the old World Series days? That's all finished – we have all moved on. One day cricket is an enjoyable form of the game.
Or, sorry, old boy. Were you just about to get your slippers and hot water bottle and cocoa before heading off to your room to read Bleak House and then your copy of the St James? Make sure you don't have a fall and let's hope those roudy youngsters next door don't stuff up your kip.
Shit. Shit. Shit.
I saw the Australian innings. What I saw was (a) a flat wicket (b) third rate bowling (b) a short boundary on one side of the flat wicket that let Ricky Ponting, in particular, lift the ball over the fence at will.
I didn't see the South African innings, but it sounded much the same.
For the record, I like good one day cricket, and I like the innovations from WSC. But we didn't get good one day cricket. We got a slog a thon.
I suspect the principle cause underlying 872 of 100 overs is 20/20. Batsmen have realised that you can average 10 an over if you slog from the get-go. I'm not sure anyone believed that kind of run-rate was sustainable at top international level before 20/20.
Now the psychological barrier has been broken, the side batting first starts out in a 50 over match as if it is a 20/20 match. Only if a few wickets fall quickly do they rein back. But on a slow wicket with mediocre bowling and a bit of luck, the latest match shows that you can bat for the entire 50 overs as if it is 20/20.
Once the Aussies posted 434, South Africa had absolutely nothing to lose by going out and playing 20/20 for 50 overs themselves. No-one would have held it against them if they lost by 300 runs provided they went down all guns blazing. As it was, they benefited from the same slow wicket, mediocre bowling, and luck that the Aussies did.
Look for more of this to come.
Newspoll today – a beautiful set of numbers.
I wouldn't take too much heart from those numbers: looks like it is just a downward blip from the negative publicity over Crean.
Although it is a bad sign indeed for Labor if something as trivial as Crean's preselection can overwhelm the stench of AWB.
Regarding the one day game, I agree with Barry Richards who says it is becoming a slogfest and an unequal contest between bat and ball.
There need to be some rule changes that encourage the selection of good wicket taking bowlers. One possibility is that when a batting side loses a wicket it gets penalised, say, 10 runs.
Bull Mark. Test cricket is also becoming a slogfest, and nothing has changed there, except the willingness of the batsman to slog.
Anyone who has played cricket knows that the main ingredient required in a batsman to score a lot of runs is simply the willingness to do so. If you play your shots whenever you can, you will score more at the wicket each time. You will also occasionally get out doing it, but you can also get out defending or leaving a ball. In the end, the batsman who go after it score more runs regardless of balls faced.
Look at India – they have 3 of the worlds most technically perfect batsman in Dravid, Tendulkar and Laxman, but their most prolific scorer in the the last 5 years has been Virender Sehwag.
Donald Bradman was so feared by the English not because he would bat for days and days (he rarely did) but because he would absolutely spank them for the time that he was out there. He could hit any ball he wanted for 4 and chose to do so pretty regularly.
The only reason that one day cricket is mismatched between batting and bowling is that there are only 50 overs to bat in. The pitches and boundaries are no different to those in tests (to a first day pitch anyway).

How do I build a Mouse Trap Powered Car
We get this question a lot. There is no one "right way" to build a mousetrap powered vehicle. The best approach is to apply your best understanding of the laws of physics without over exaggerating any one concept to your design. To build the "perfect" mousetrap racer you must try and find a harmonious balance between all the elements and variable that will affect a mouse trap vehicles performance. Do not be fooled into thinking there is only one way to build a winning mouse trap racer, we have been building mousetrap cars for over 15 years and our designs continue to change; one year everyone is designing cars with huge big wheels and the next year everyone has moved on to pulley systems. Be willing to try something original, it might be the next "thing". The first step to making a good mouse trap powered car is simple, put something together and find out how it works, it may not be pretty but it is a start. Once you have something working you can begin to isolate the variables that are affecting the performance and learn to adjust to improve your results. Building mousetrap cars is a simple process of design engineering, you build, you test and experiment, you change, and you do it all over again.
There are many good designs that will work for most first time builders but there is never a "perfect" design so as you build your mouse trap racer keep in mind that there is always room for improvement and being original is a good thing. Doc Fizzix continues to experiment with new ideas and designs all the time in order to go further and faster that everyone else, he never settles on one design. Many students expect to build a mouse trap car from a set of plans and have it work perfectly right after they are done assembling it. This is just simply not the case, you need to test your vehicle over and over again and must be willing to make changes to your design. Doc Fizzix has a great selection of
mousetrap racer plans

Web Survey Bibliography
Computer-assisted self-interview (CASI) questionnaires are being used with increased frequency to deliver surveys that previously were administered via self-administered paper-and-pencil questionnaires (SAQs). Although CASI may offer a number of advantages, an important consideration for researchers is the assessment modality's immediate and long-term costs. To facilitate researchers' choice between CASI and SAQ, this article provides theoretical cost models with specific parameters for comparing the costs for each assessment type. Utilizing these cost models, this study compared the cost effectiveness in a health behavior study in which both CASI (n = 100) and SAQ (n = 100) questionnaires were administered. Given the high initial costs, CASI was found to be less cost effective than SAQ for a single study. However, for studies with large sample sizes or when CASI software is to be used for multiple studies, CASI would be more cost effective and should be the assessment mode of choice.

-Chapter 5
***This Chapters contains some sexual contain so if you feel uncomfortable with it then skip over it. Thanks***
(Brianne's Locker Room- Time: 11:39 PM)
Brianne looked at Chris with a warm stare and he felt warmed by it. He didn't usually like people giving him warm stares since he wasn't interested in the person giving them but this was different to him. This girl was like a drug and she could make you addicted to her. Maybe it was something about her that drew him to her and it maybe it just made him feel good to be around her. He only knew one word to describe her and that was intoxicating. She was exactly like that.
Chris asked the girl, "Did you like the movie we barely got to watch? I enjoyed it and you." He smiled softly and it made Brianne blush.
"I enjoyed the movie but it would have been better if no one walked into the room and made it short. I was going to cuddle with you and maybe fall asleep on your shoulders or chest if they didn't interrupt us," Brianne answered and he knew that she wasn't lying since she felt the same way about him. He knew that she felt intoxicated by him and he loved the sense of power he could use from her. She was energetic and like a breath of fresh air.
Brianne reached for his hand and Chris grabbed her hand before she could reach his. He curled his fingers around her fingers so he could hold her hand the way he wanted to. In his opinion, this was just simple innocence going on between them. Brianne was curious about him and he felt the same way but due to the intoxication feeling, it probably wasn't true innocence.
"Do you believe in love Brianne? You know, true love?" Chris asked wondering about her views on love since Brianne never really expressed what she believes in.
She bit her lip and thought about the question for a few minutes. She finally answered with, "I believe in a lot of things and love is the trickiest one for me to believe in. Not a lot of people can truly love someone but I think you have to really be friends with the person and understand them before love can take place. Love is true understanding and trust in one person."
Chris smiled because he was pleased with her answer. "Do you love me?"
"I don't know yet," she said. "I don't know what I feel right now because it is too early in our relationship to know if I love you. Maybe it's just my imagination but I think I could be lusting for you or something. It just seems like it Chris."
"It's not lust if you don't intend on doing something because it's a purpose. You are just exploring where you have never been and that is just curiosity sweetheart," he told her correcting her on what she just said. It then made sense that she was just a bit too curious about him and he knew that he felt the same about her. Curiosity just made things more complicated according to Chris.
Brianne looked at Chris with amazement in what he just told her. She didn't question it because it seemed very logical to her now. Curiosity was making them collide at full speed and she knew that she could trust him now since he was smart enough to explain the feelings behind this thing they were having. She didn't question the sudden feelings that appeared from him for her.
"Don't worry about anything Bri," Chris told her with a soft tone of voice that made her heart melt a bit. "You can trust me and not expect any harm to come from it."
Brianne nodded her head. "I trust you Chris. I always will trust you."
Chris smiled and he kissed the girl on the lips with a smile on his face. She kissed him back and he didn't really feel shocked since he had her around his finger now. He loved the feeling of being in control just like he was when he went out to the ring and got the audience's attention. He loved the attention and he loved having this girl in his world.
Brianne broke the kiss and looked him in the eyes. She then whispered, "I like you Chris."
"I like you too Brianne." Chris looked her in the eyes to confirm what she just said and he felt like she was telling the truth to him.
(Taylor's Locker Room- Time: 11:48 PM)
The brown haired girl sat down on the couch with exhaustion of trying to figure out where Brianne had ran off to since the time the last time they actually saw each other. She wondered if Brianne could be in her locker room and she wanted to check but the murders made her want to stay in her locker room for a really long time. She was upset that Zack had to take a nap and a shower.

Success Stories
Earning a diploma or degree from Keystone Technical Institute can lead to life changing opportunities. But you don't have to take it from us. Read what these KTI graduates have to say about how training for a new career at Keystone Technical Institute impacted their lives.
Francye Loepke
Francye Loepke – Graduate of Paralegal Program – 1/20/2012
Originally from the great state of Texas, Fran moved to Pennsylvania to spend some time with family in the area and to excel in Keystone Technical Institute's Paralegal program. While working for a local newspaper during the day and attending classes at night, Fran showed the faculty and staff at KTI what she was made of through excellent academic progress and a "can-do" attitude.
Fran's long term plans were to once again return to Texas provided all the conditions were right to do so. She performed admirably while on her externship and had the skills to sell to potential employers. She began applying for jobs and was even offered part-time work by her externship site. Her hard work paid off and the day after her graduation ceremony, Fran drove back to Texas to attend a job interview with a lawyer in Dallas. She interviewed on a Monday and had a job offer on Friday of that same week, which of course she was thrilled to accept! Fran is proud of her achievements at KTI and most of all for what she was able to accomplish professionally.
Carrie Beshara
Graduation: 2009
Program: Medical Assistant Specialist
Employer: Darowish & Associate
Before attending KTI, I was working with the elderly in a nursing home. I loved doing it, but I felt that there was nowhere to go there, and I was in a situation where I needed to get my degree. Now I can work in different places.
The teachers at KTI were wonderful. I learned a lot of stuff I had no idea about. The whole school experience was good, and the teachers were very helpful. I learned how to do vaccines and vitals and about diseases and so many things I didn't know before.
I now work at Darowish & Associate - a pediatrician's office. I did my externship here and got hired. I was looking for a pediatrician's office. I do not have children, but I wanted to work with them in some capacity.
We assist with suturing. We do cultures. We do vital signs and injections. We also do scheduling and check-in and check-out. I love this experience. I had never done these things before, and I've learned so much. I love to see the kids come in and get better. You hear so many interesting stories.
If you're thinking about going back to school, you should go for it. I was scared to go back, but I'm glad I did because now I have a degree, and I can do pretty much anything I want to do.
Brianna Kemp
Graduation: 2008
Program: Childcare Specialist
Employer: Small Steps - Carlisle, PA
I had just graduated from Carlisle High School when I came to Keystone Technical Institute. I used to babysit my neighborhood kids when I was 11, and I took childcare classes in high school. I wanted to go to KTI to get a degree.
The teachers at KTI are really friendly, and they help you a lot. They support you in so many ways. I took night classes, which was great because I could work full-time during the day and then go to school at night. It really worked out for me. One thing in particular that was so important to me is that you learn about the business of childcare at KTI.
Now I'm the lead teacher in the two year-old room. I plan all sorts of activities and organize things for the room. I love the kids, and in one sense you get to play all day. You don't have to sit in front of a computer all the time. The kids keep you energized and there's always something new. It's fun to see them learn new things.
Desiree Dalton
Graduation: 2008
Program: Professional Massage Therapy Specialist
Employer: Articulate Touch
I was tending bar before I came to KTI. I did that for a long time, and I thought, "I've got to go back to school to do something that I'm really passionate about and that can help people in a positive way."
KTI had the program that I was looking for, and not too many other schools around here did. I wanted the degree, so I chose KTI. I think KTI showed me how strong I could be.
The instructors were great and had hearts of gold. The friends that I met along the way were amazing, too. You build relationships with these people, and you always have someone there saying, "You can do it."
I opened up my own business, Articulate Touch. We bought a house, and it had an office space that was perfect for what I do. We did a lot of work on it and poured our hearts into it. I had built up a clientele, and they followed me here.
I do traditional Swedish massage, neuromuscular therapy (deep tissue), pregnancy (pre- and post-natal), reflexology, and sports massage. Everything I learned in school I offer here.
I love this so much. What I wanted to get out of Keystone Technical Institute was to get a great education but also to move forward with becoming well-rounded and settled with who I am, doing something that I'm passionate about that allows me to be with my children as well. I feel complete after getting my degree at KTI.
Stefanie Spidle
Graduation: 2008
Program: Childcare Specialist
Employer: Small Steps Day Care
I took two years of childcare in high school, which helped to prepare me for going to KTI. I've always liked kids. I've been a baby-sitter since I was 12, and when I started taking classes on childcare, I enjoyed it even more.
The education at KTI was much more in-depth. I always wanted to go to college, and I started working at Small Steps during my senior year of high school. My aunt had gone to KTI and loved it, so she suggested it to me. I really liked my teachers at KTI. They were great.
It's really enjoyable knowing that what you're teaching the kids can make a change in their lives that they might not have gotten. I love seeing my two year-olds learning the days of the week and starting to recognize some of the alphabet.
I would like to open my own at-home day care center someday. It's my goal, and I like the idea of being more one-on-one with the kids. Having the further education that you get at KTI, you have more knowledge to teach the kids new things every day. KTI has definitely helped me in my career.
Carole Snyder
Graduation: 2008
Program: Professional Massage Therapy
Employer: A Scents of Touch
Before I came to KTI, I was working in a manufacturing company in their plant, in HR doing payroll. I had wanted to go into massage for about 5 years, and I thought, "Well, it's now or never."
I looked at other schools, but KTI was the one. I loved the program that KTI has, and I loved the teachers and the students. They're my other family. I sometimes wish I could be back at school. It's a real community, and everybody was so kind.
I started my own business called "A Scents of Touch." I offer massage therapy, ear candling, foot escapes, pampered hands, mud wraps, and more. When you have your own business, you have to make sure that you're very flexible and that you offer a lot of different things. I'm always looking to expand.
You have to be a go-getter and get your name out there. I approached the local newspaper and have had stories done on my business. I do charity events and send my clients birthday cards. I also have a website, and I have specials every month.
I love everything about my new career. It's the most relaxing job! I'm so stress-free, and I have such wonderful clients. I can make a difference one person at a time, and each of them is so unique.
Angela Mitchell
Graduation: 2007
Program: Paralegal Specialist
Employer: YMCA - Violence Intervention & Prevention
I work at the YWCA in Harrisburg, and I love my job. I specialize in the areas of domestic violence and sexual assault, and I wear many hats. I am a crisis advocate, and I help people get through difficult situations. Counseling abuse victims and helping them with coping skills, I use my education to support them through the process of what's going on legally, what they're up against, and letting them know about our services.
I chose KTI because it was a small school. Being older, I felt that I would get the care and the attention that I needed. I was nervous about going to a big school and falling through the cracks. I knew that at KTI I would have the support I needed to get me through. My teachers were wonderful, and the staff was always there to help every step of the way.
I was often encouraged along the way and told what a good job I was doing and I needed to hear that. I got the education that I needed, and I felt that it was top-notch. I learned so much, but I applied myself and made it a point to learn everything that I possibly could.
My Paralegal education helps my career in so many ways. I can guide someone through what they're up against legally and answer questions about attorneys or court proceedings. I have the knowledge because I went to school, and I studied those courses.
When you make the decision to go to school, it's a very important step, so you need to make the choice to put everything into it and do the work and do the best that you can. I made up my mind, and I'm so happy with that choice!
Amy Warfel
Graduation: 2006
Program: EFDA - Expanded Function Dental Assistant
Employer: Halifax Dental Center
I was a stay-at-home mom before entering the dental field. I started as a receptionist, and then became a Dental Assistant. The doctor sent me to get my EFDA so we could have more production. We had another KTI graduate who told us about their EFDA program, and we thought it would be great to take things further.
I was nervous about going back to school since it had been a while, but it went very well. Everybody at KTI was really nice, and the students were great, too. The things I learned at KTI were very applicable to my career. KTI is a great school! The teachers know their stuff, and they make learning fun.
I'm working at Halifax Dental Center with Dr. Nupponen. I work 10 minutes from home, and I love the people that I work with. The doctor helps us learn new things, so my education is a continuous process.
If you're people-oriented, it's a great career. I do so many things here, from rubber dams and bonding to impressions and x-rays. I really enjoy it, and I meet nice people. Going back to school has made me much more valuable, so it was very worth it.
Jim Whitley
Graduation: 2008
Program: Professional Massage Therapy
Employer: Life's Little Luxuries
I played a lot of music and did some bartending before going to KTI. The biggest thing that led me to massage therapy was needing to have it myself. I had a ruptured disc in my back, and part of my therapy was massage therapy. After that, I felt I had to give back.
I looked at some other schools, but nobody seemed to offer what KTI's program did. KTI has an exceptional program, and the education you get is top-notch.
Moving from job to job kind of gets old after a while, and knowing I wanted to do something career-minded was a big factor.
Our instructors in the massage program were excellent. You feel like you're a part of the family there right off the bat. I was nervous being a male in the program because it was predominantly female, but the instructors and my fellow students were so welcoming. We went through everything together.
Now I'm at Life's Little Luxuries, located in McClure, Pennsylvania. We have everything here with massage and body work, and I love the way the place is growing. I do relaxation massages along with sports and deep tissue work. People have come in with physical therapy issues and are finding that massage can be very beneficial.
It's nice to give back and to see people feel better over our time together. It's great to make a difference in people's lives.
Alicia Moore
Graduation: 2007
Program: Medical Assistant Specialist
Employer: Lewistown Hospital - Cardiopulmonary
Before KTI, I was attending a university for Medical Technology and Pre-Med. It was a big school. I didn't know a whole lot of people. I decided I needed a change and was looking for something smaller but still in the medical field.
I really liked the small classes at KTI. We did hands-on training almost every night, and there was always something new. My instructor was so patient with me. At a university, I experienced professors only knowing you as a number.
With the small groups at KTI, I didn't have to sit next to someone new every time. Whenever you're doing invasive procedures, you want to know the person beside you. We still keep in touch today.
I'm currently working at Lewistown Hospital in the Cardiopulmonary department. I thought I'd be doing lab work, but I got an internship in this area and fell in love with it and excelled in it. I do many things, including EKGs, stress labs, CPXs, PFTs, and EEGs.
I love the patients here, and our doctors are so wonderful and explain new things well.
I want people to know that they shouldn't settle for the first college experience they're presented with just to please your parents. Check out your options! I'm so happy with the decision I made to go to KTI.
Shannon Hetrick
Graduation: 2008
Program: Childcare Specialist
Employer: Children of the Ark Daycare
Before KTI, I was working at Dunkin' Donuts. I always had a dream of working with kids, and my sister let me know about KTI since that's where she had gone for Medical Assisting.
I loved my instructors at KTI. If we needed help, they were there for us. They took the time to help us and made sure we understood everything. They created such a fun environment to learn things.
At Children of the Ark, where I am now, I work with all ages of children, from infants to preschool and beyond. I've learned so much. It's different every day with kids, and we're there for them.
I'm glad I decided to go to KTI!
Monica Iino
Graduation: 2008
Program: Paralegal
Employer: Smigel, Anderson, & Sacks, LLP
I attended law school for a year. I left because I felt I needed more work experience, but I still wanted to take classes. That's when I decided to join Keystone Technical Institute.
At KTI, I loved working in small classes and learning about different types of law. I also enjoyed participating in special events at KTI like award ceremonies, birthday celebrations, and the summer picnic.
At Smigel, Anderson, and Sacks, I prepare pleadings and documents for the attorney with whom I'm working. I assist with research and check different state dockets. I even do some Spanish translating in the office when needed.
As a paralegal, I love having the chance to learn about law and work alongside attorneys, knowing that I provide valuable assistance.
Taking classes at KTI gives you the opportunity to learn about a specialized field in a shorter amount of time than at a four-year college. It's great if you want a more hands-on experience.
Kathleen Nickel
Graduation: 2008
Program: Dental Assistant Specialist
Employer: Dr. David R. Curtis, DMD
When I graduated from high school, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. I looked in the dental hygiene program at another school, but I wasn't happy with the big classes. My professors weren't around if I needed to talk to somebody.
I went to KTI and found out I could still go into the dental field through a 15-month program. The class sizes were what I was looking for. If I needed someone's help, someone would be there for me.
Our dental instructor was fabulous. She was one of those teachers who helped me understand. If something was hard, the instructors broke it down for me and helped me find a way to learn it. I got straight A's because they were so dedicated to us.
I'm working at a family dental practice in State College, and I just love it. I did my externship here, and they offered me a position. Everybody knows each other in the practice, so it's a very tight-knit family.
I love the steady hours of being a dental assistant and knowing what they expect of me. I can plan my life. The patients are so nice. I see them regularly and get to learn things about them and their family. You have to care about the patients to be in this field.
I feel like my life's progressing forward. I'm making more money, and I'm becoming better at what I do. Going back to school at KTI helped move my life in the right direction!
Joe Walton
Graduation: 2006
Program: Culinary Arts
Employer: The Bread of Life Restaurant, McAlisterville
I worked 23 years in the auto industry making carpet for cars. The plant closed down, and I had thought about cooking for years since I always liked to cook.
I like the different aspects of the restaurant business, and I love cooking a lot better than my last job!
It's exciting cooking for other people, not just my family. I make different things and enjoy seeing the end result, knowing what you put into it.
I would love to open my own business someday, maybe in catering. I want to work for myself.
My advice for somebody thinking of going to school is to do it. Don't hesitate. Don't do something you hate for half your life. You don't know until you try.
Jessica Snyder
Graduation: 2006
Program: Professional Massage Therapy
Employer: Ultimate Health and Body Works
I would recommend going to school for massage at KTI because it gives you the opportunity to work and meet with different types of people. I like the idea of not doing the same thing every day.
The teachers know a lot about massage, and the school itself is just a really good school. I really enjoyed going there.
All the stuff that I learned at the school, I do here at work...but get paid for it!
I would eventually like to open my own business after building up clientele first and learning the ropes with everything.
It was just a very good experience, and I'd do it again.
Patricia Rickert
Graduation: 2005
Program: Medical Assistant
Employer: Pinnacle Health Family Care Millersburg
I worked at a shirt factory, and they closed down. I was 40 when I went back to school. It took me a while to get back into learning how to study.
I graduated because of Mrs. A. She's great, and she's right there for you whenever you need her.
I like to help people, and as a medical assistant, we do so many things. We do urine dips, we draw blood, EKG's, make appointments.
Barbara Hilmer
Graduation: 2004
Program: Childcare
Employer: U-GRO Learning Center, Harrisburg
I love working with kids. I find it challenging and rewarding, and there are great benefits - hugs and kisses! I worked retail for 27 years, and I figured it was time to get out and do what I wanted to do. I make a difference in a child's life. I know I've done something important.
I would tell people thinking about going to school to follow their dreams. Go after what you want. My dream is to someday open my own childcare center or be a day care director.
Michelle Gutshall
Graduation: 2005
Program: Dental Assistant
Employer: Sadler Health
When I was little I had braces, and I always loved going to the dentist.
I attended HACC for the dental hygiene program, and the program is so limited to their 20 students a semester. I went to the Academy after I finished the prerequisites of that.
Miss Blayer was a highlight. I loved her. She was a great teacher. Anytime you had a problem, you could go to her. She was like a second mom, and she came to my wedding.
As a dental assistant, I work in all areas. I even help at the front desk when I'm needed and billing whenever we do pre-authorizations for insurance.
I love the patients. Here we're really able to help people. These are people that need help-low-income, no insurance. I'm definitely getting a chance to make a difference.
It's a great program, and it definitely fit in with my schedule. 18 months is a short amount of time to get an Occupational Associate's degree.
Sherri Donley
Graduation: 2003
Program: Dental Assistant
Employer: Williams Valley Dental Group, Williamstown
I worked in a factory for 18 years. They closed down, so I decided to go back to school.
I toured the school, and I was thinking about medical, but when I saw the dental program, I decided on that, and I'm glad I did. I really enjoy it.
I thought the teachers were great. Miss Blayer was excellent. It was a good experience all the way around.
It's totally different than working in a factory. I enjoy interacting with the patients and getting to know them. Working in a small town, of course, I already knew some of them. It can be challenging some days, but it's a lot of fun.
I would highly recommend it for anyone that's thinking about going back to school and starting a new career. It's definitely worthwhile and very rewarding. I enjoy it very much, and I'm glad I did it.
Danelle Casner
Graduation: 2004
Program: Medical Assistant
Employer: Pinnacle Health Family Care, Millersburg
Before going back to school, I was working at a debt collection agency. My sister was in the medical field, my mother was in the medical field, so I figured I might as well try the medical field. They both liked it. My mother is a pharmaceutical technician, and my sister is a registered nurse.
At school, I loved all the hands-on opportunities that we had. I'd want to tell people considering Keystone Technical Institute that it'll be hard at first, but work through it. It is definitely worth it.
Kenyata Allison
Graduation: 2006
Program: Dental Assistant
Employer: Hamilton Health, Harrisburg
I was a nurse's aide before I went to school for dental. I worked there for four years and decided I wanted to go back to school.
I like taking care of people and helping people, and I still wanted to be in the health care field, but I was ready to change the health care atmosphere.
The learning experience at school was a highlight. At that time, I had just had a son. He went to the day care on the site, so that worked out for me that I was able to take him there and have my classes. My son had medical problems when I first started school, and it was a very good support system for me.
I have 3 boys altogether, so to me it was to make a better life for them, to let them know that no matter what, you can still do whatever you need to do. Don't let anybody hold you down. I had to do it for my boys.
Don't let anybody crush your dreams. Don't let anybody step in your path and discourage you from doing things that you want to do. Follow through. Don't stop. Be consistent in what you do. That's what I did.
I would have to say Keystone Technical is a very good school to attend. I would suggest it to anyone who's ready to go back to school and further their education.

Memphis cannot govern the area it has now and it wants to annex a white area that has good citizens that pay taxes. Memphis should do a better job of governing so that people want to be in Memphis. All they will do is push good citizens further from Memphis. Memphis won't be happy until they annex Nashville.

George Inness in Italy
February 19, 2011 - May 15, 2011: A canonical figure in American painting, George Inness (1825–1894) is widely admired as the pioneer of the evocative aesthetic
known as Tonalism, which is distinguished by soft focus and diaphanous layers of paint. This is the first exhibition to examine the artist's two Italian sojourns (1851–52 and 1870–74) and their formative impact on his work. Italy—its art and its landscape—offered Inness a font of inspiration as he developed his own uniq

Buckfield grads urged to take leaps
COMMENCEMENT — Graduating seniors file into the gymnasium at Buckfield Junior/Senior High School for their commencement ceremony last Saturday evening.
BUCKFIELD — With spirits buoyed by the sun shining through a short break in the rain clouds, family, friends, teachers and staff packed the Buckfield Junior/Senior High School gymnasium Saturday evening to honor and celebrate 40 graduating seniors from Buckfield, Hartford and Sumner.
"I'm going to try to avoid the cliché of, 'We did it,'" said class Valedictorian Jacob Bailey, addressing his classmates seated on the gymnasium's central stage. "But we did. Some of us, just barely."
In his speech, laced with a healthy dose of wit and plenty of inside jokes, Bailey reminded his fellow graduates how far they had come and urged them to make the most of their futures as they prepared to move into the next phase of their lives.
On a somber note, Bailey recalled that the class was visiting New York City on the day of the Boston Marathon bombings. On the afternoon of the bombings, the students were visiting Times Square, believed to be the attacker's second target. The realization that a simple twist of fate could have changed their lives forever made him appreciate the importance and fragility of human life, Bailey said.
"Cherish your life; don't take it for granted," Bailey told his fellow seniors. "Because in an alternate universe, things could turn out much different."
That message was echoed by Salutatorian Jennifer Hammond, who encouraged her classmates to pursue their dreams, follow their passions and above all, stay true to themselves.
"When it comes down to it, do what makes you happy. That's what is really important," Hammond said.
Guest speaker Joe McLaughlin, the school's art teacher, encouraged the graduates to take risks, but not "stupid risks," as they moved forward into the next phase of their lives.
"I don't want you to see how fast you can drive your car over Streaked Mountain or how many hot dogs you can eat at once," McLaughlin joked.
Whether they were going on to college, the military, a job or other pursuits, the graduates needed to keep an open mind and take advantage of the possibilities life presented them, McLaughlin said.
"The point is, sometimes taking a leap means great and unpredictable things will happen in your life," he said.

text: Thanks to all the auto-auction shows and the Internet, there's more information available about the classic-car market than ever before. "We live in the age of technology and there's all this available data," says Allen. "You can put a car model name and 'sold for' into any search engine, and you're going to pull up all these forums and articles that are written on these vehicles. You can get pretty in-depth and figure out if it's the car for you. To really compare your potential investment to other recent sales, you need to accurately assess condition. "I always put them in a one to four category," says Allen. "One is a perfect car, and to this day, I've never met a "one." Two is a very good car, three is a good car, and four to me is a fair-condition car." In other words, skip any car that's in less than "fair condition."

Sure, these days have almost every game sporting the newfangled 3D, but way back when, everyone had to live with plain old 2D. 2D, or two dimensions, limit the game to scrolling backgrounds, but some games even now make use of this basic concept.
Moral dilemmas presented to the player that often have a significant effect on the story or other characters.
A gameplay mechanic allowing players to store their items and freely carry them around.
Often referred to as Hentai, Eroge is a video game genre which has (usually manga-style) erotic content and artwork.
Enemy Capture is a game mechanic that enables the player to capture or charm enemies. The capture mechanics and the ways enemies are used are myriad, but the effects are always beneficial to the player.
A type of fighting in games where a character has another creature fight on their behalf.
Pixel art refers to digital images composed of visible pixels, drawn with individual pixel-level intent and precision.
Dialogue trees are a feature through which the player selects responses from a list of choices, eliciting reactions from NPCs and determining the path of the conversation and story.
Games where players can choose to talk their way out fighting; often this occurs in RPGs.
This feature typically found in RPGs lets you capture enemies and then use them in your own party. This mechanic is used heavily in games like Pokemon.
Due to crafty camera angles and conveniently placed objects in the environment, the nudity in the scene is obscured from view.
Artificial life-forms ("robots") specifically designed to mimic the appearance of human beings. Although this is a male-specific term, with female-looking machines actually being "gynoids", the term "android" is generally used universally in video games.
Games which feature 3D polygonal graphics, but typically restrict gameplay and camera control to a 2D plane. Alternatively, it can also refer to earlier games that attempted to simulate three-dimensional graphics without the use of 3D polygons.
The act of hiring qualified people for a job or enlisting them for warfare purposes.
Hey, why are we fighting? Let's sit down and talk this thing out.
Some females (and males) prefer to wear few clothes. Such clothing is seen in a variety titles, particularly many fighting games and fantasy RPGs.
Commonly used in 16-bit era simulation games, negotiation is the act of attempting to reduce or increase the cost of a service.
See? The exploiting, soulless people who run the video game industry DO care about their fans!
A map that is updated in real-time as you play a level. Usually seen in FPSs.
Many games allow you to add characters to your playable group upon fulfilling certain conditions. This is a central mechanic of many RPG franchises, including Fire Emblem and Suikoden. These can be NPCs or even enemy characters that the player persuades to join their cause, through sidequests or dialogue options.
First-Person is a vantage point that attempts to simulate looking through a game character's eyes. It is most commonly found in First-Person Shooters and Racing Games, and to a lesser extent in other genres, such as RPGs and 3D Platformers.
How non-playable characters or factions perceive the player character based on their actions or choices in the game world.
Female video game characters are often designed with impossibly perfect figures and proportions, outfits that are unrealistic, or end up in completely over-the-top poses designed to show off their bodies. Famous examples include Ivy from Soul Calibur series, and the entire female cast of Dead or Alive.
Turn-based games divide game actions into distinct parts, called turns. This gives the player time to strategically choose actions as the battle or events unfold.
A game where you eventually receive a map of an area. Like in Metroid Prime you have map download stations to get a map outline of the area. This is the same concept in the exploring Castlevania games.
Carefully exploring a large, labyrinthine area full of enemies (i.e., a dungeon) in the hopes of finding treasure, leveling up, or completing a specific task. Having their roots in tabletop games, video game dungeon crawls are found almost exclusively in RPGs.
A partner is someone in a duo that shares the same status and/or billing. In video games, you often switch from one to the other because they have different strengths and weaknesses.
Sometimes one playable character just isn't enough.
Nudity is qualified as either exposed buttocks, breasts, or genitalia or general lack of clothing. Video game nudity is largely a rarity outside of the PC market.
Many games feature a story which involves saving the world and its inhabitants, often single handedly.

quote:"It makes little economic sense for cable systems and satellite broadcasters to continue to pay for NBCU content on a per-subscriber basis when, with a relatively modest investment, they can simply modify their operations to mirror Aereo's 'individual antenna' scheme and retransmit, for free, over-the-air local broadcast programming," Bond says in a declaration.

Neither one of us cares about sports
And our time spent watching commercial OTA television is steadily decreasing, as the number of interesting programs shrinks (do we really need more singing talent shows?) and the obnoxiousness of commercials, and the time they consume, increases. (Commercials, these days, seem to be mostly the networks hawking their own shows, drugs we don't want, lawyers we don't need, and cars we can't afford.) Three or four years ago we were watching something every night, and some nights two hours or more. Last season there were few "two-hour" nights (I can think of only one, off-hand), and some nights where we watched nothing at all following the "news."We never watch movies on commercial TV. Not ever. Neither one of us cares about sports. In fact: Preempting the few commercial TV shows we do like with sports coverage reduces our commercial OTA TV time.An increasing amount of our OTA TV watching is PBS. Much better programming and much less annoying advertising. We value PBS so highly we send them a small contribution each year.It seems, these days, that, often as not, the TV is on as much for the noise factor as anything else.Cable or satellite is out of the question. For a number of years we occasionally discussed it, but inevitably came to the conclusion we could not justify the cost. Now we don't even discuss it anymore.
If aereo wins, it basically allows other companies to get a free ride off the broadcast networks. They basically can get away with the commercial use of someone else's business without paying a penny.Then the broadcast networks will threaten to move to cable and we'll see a government bailout since their viewership has been in a long term decline.
If aereo wins, it basically allows other companies to get a free ride off the broadcast networks. They basically can get away with the commercial use of someone else's business without paying a penny.
If cable wasn't forced to carry the local broadcast channels, imagine the viewership drop for the OTA stations. That translates to lower advertising revenue.
