As an international student, I miss my folks, but being away from home over the holidays makes the distance between us seem much greater.
To combat this calendar-induced bout of seasonal homesickness, I committed to celebrating in my own way with whatever traditions I could sneak across the border.
First, I realized that I was not alone in feeling lonely. Many of my fellow international students, whom I came to know through classes or campus-sponsored activities, also missed their own holiday celebrations. <<< Read the full story >>>

Presenters: Margeaux Levy, Tammy Overstreet, Olivia Spence (Andrews Curriculum and Instruction Students)
Title: Why Do They Choose to Become Teachers and Why Does it Matter?
This study examines when and why teachers choose the teaching career and the relationship between their motivations and their beliefs. The researchers used secondary data from the FIT-Choice survey with parochial, in-service teachers. The findings indicate that students commonly choose teaching as a career while in grade school or in college, with very few deciding in high school. This study also identified the following five factors for choosing teaching: a desire to help shape the future, a desire to work with children and adolescents, perceived ability to teach well, a desire to make social contributions, and intrinsic career value. These reasons are consistent across age, race, and gender.
Face-to-face participants meet in Bell Hall 013.

I always hated the way that you had a real disadvantage when peeking round trees and houses on the wrong side, think its a right corner. As you have to expose more of your body than when you look around a left corner. So if you could switch to your left hand and essentially fire round a corner without exposing all of your body, that would be great. Only allow it on certain guns, not some Bullpups (not P90 or FN2000) or weapons that dont have an effective brass deflector. Maybe putting somet like this in the config
Steyr AUG
I dont think there should be any penalty for using one hand over another as most people can shoot just as well left handed as they can right handed. It would suit llefties in real life more too, like counter-strike did, oops forgot it was an offence to mention that game.
And no I am not left handed.

Hansen's Sno-Bliz
Hansen's Sno-Bliz was started by Ernest and Mary Hansen in 1939. Ernest invented the first ice shaving machine and Mary created her own flavored syrups.
Decades later, Hansen's still makes its own flavors every day, from Mary's secret recipes, and creates snoballs from the original machine. The combination of fluffy ice and homemade syrups demand that each Sno-Bliz be made in layers – ice, syrup, ice, syrup, and so forth – so that the final product is fully saturated upholding the Hansen's motto: "There are no shortcuts to quality."
Hansen's is now owned and operated by Ernest and Mary's granddaughter, Ashley. Zagat Survey for 2007-2008 rated Hansen's 29 out of 30 in the food category.
Hansen's is open from Spring through Fall. Current hours can be found on the Hours & Location page. We now do on-site catering, see the contact page for more information.
Take a look at the Sno-Bliz Online Exhibit, a collection of Hansen's memorabilia.

On Feb. 21, the Museum of the Native American Resource Center at UNC Pembroke will open its new art exhibit, The Awakening: Out of the Darknessby Alyssa Hinton.
Alyssa Hinton |
The exhibit is a "mixed media composite" series that illustrates a theme of indigenous cultural reawakening and explores the folklore and history surrounding her Native roots. Hinton's heritage and vision draw from Tuscarora, Saponi and Osage Indian Tribes.
The Awakening: Out of the Darknesswill open on Thursday, February 21, and will be on display through the end of May. A reception for the show will be held at 7 p.m. in the Native American Resource Center in Old Main on the campus of The University of North Carolina at Pembroke.
The public is welcome to attend the opening reception and refreshments will be served.
In a statement about her work, Alyssa stated, "The Awakening is also about human kinship with the natural environment and the organic beauty I find in the elements. I like to think of it as a form of 'visual soul', and a refuge from our materialistic work world slumber. It can be a window through which we look inward and outward at the same time."
Hinton is a graduate of NC State University with a master's degree in art and design. She earned a bachelor of fine arts degree from the Temple University's Tyler School of Art. She has also studied at the Parson School of Design in Paris, the University of Grenoble Beijing University and the Central Institute of Fine Arts in Beijing.
Hinton has exhibited widely in North Carolina and nationally, including at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian. More information about the artist may be obtained at http://alyssahinton.com/wp/.

Wilmington eyes new fees for water and sewer
By Mark Baskerville Correspondent January 9, 2013 10:22AM
Updated: February 14, 2013 6:21AM
Turning on the spout will cost more in the coming months in Wilmington.
The Wilmington City Council, faced with the need to pay the cost of water and sewer plant updates, will vote on increasing the cost of service to residents.
Last week, the council heard concerns from citizens during an hour-long public hearing. The goal of the rate increase is to generate enough money to operate both plants, pay for past improvements and build a reserve for future expenses, Mayor Marty Orr said.
The city needs to pay its debt on the new 2007 sewer plant and a $1 million upgrade at the water plant on Widows Road. At the time the loans were taken out, Orr said, the expectation was that new growth in the city would help pay the cost.
The loan was predicated on growth of 25 homes and one commercial/industrial development a year, he said.
"Because we've had no growth, that's the reason our rates went up so dramatically," Orr said.
While the council made no final decision, it is expected that action will be taken within the next 30 days.
The proposed new rates increase the cost per gallon and also institute a line charge.
The city has been using reserve funds to pay off the loan. The city's 2,200 users will need to share the cost of the debt, city officials said, with a proposed line charge of between $20 and $30 a month.
"That's a huge increase to anyone — $30 a month," Finance Director Robin Theobald said. But the city has used all but $75,000 in reserves. "There's nothing left to pay for it."
As proposed, residents will pay $5 for water and $15 to $25 for sewer as a line fee designed to pay the debt, she said. The deciding factor will be the amount of growth the city sees in the coming years, she said.
Orr said that because the analysis that called for the line charge is based on "no growth over the next five years," any new growth will help reduce that cost.

Low-Cost, High-Resolution Time-Measurement Application
July 16, 2009 10:11 am | by Jim Bartling, Microchip Technology | Articles | CommentsTime Domain Reflectometry (TDR) is a measurement of the impedance of a transmission line using the reflected energy of a pulse sent down that transmission line. As a pulse is sent down a transmission line, it travels at the speed of light for the media it is in (typically, 60% to 80% of the speed of light in free space). As the pulse arrives at an impedance, mismatch energy is reflected back to the pulse source and arrives at a time

Latest iTunes Release Ejects Palm Pre Users
July 16, 2009 6:56 am | by by Jason Lomberg, Technical Editor | News | CommentsPalm Pre users who enjoy syncing music and video with iTunes are in trouble—version 8.2.1 of the software locks out the Pre. Previously, Pre users were able to use rival software on their Palm smartphone, a most unusual arrangement. It's not that archrivals don't ever do business together. After all, this is much cross-pollination between Microsoft and Apple products. But arguably, the iPod's greatest asset is its intuitive iTunes software. The hardware itself is somewhat ubiquitous.

Damage eyed as shuttle heads toward space station
July 16, 2009 5:30 am | by MARCIA DUNN, AP Aerospace Writer | News | CommentsSpace shuttle Endeavour rocketed toward the international space station Thursday as engineers on Earth pored over launch pictures that showed debris breaking off the fuel tank and striking the craft. Mission Control told the astronauts late Wednesday that the damage looked less extensive at first glance than what occurred on the last shuttle flight, but it will take days to sort through available data to reach a conclusion. The astronauts planned a Thursday afternoon inspection of their ship's thermal shielding, using a 100-foot laser-tipped boom.

Human needs ministries
Just one cup of clean water ...
More than 12,00 villages in India's poorest state have little or no public access to clean water. Public water pumps either don't exist, are missing their handles, or have broken cylinders. Over a three-year period, humanitarian workers intend to provide at least one working hand water pump in every village. Hundreds of thousands of individuals will be helped when the project is complete. Volunteers are surveying the water conditions in each village, and churches are overseeing installation or repair of the pumps.

Anna Trebunskaya
Quick Facts:
Full Name: Anna Trebunskaya
Age: 31
Place of Birth: Russia
Dance Style: Latin
Nationality: Russian
Height: 5'4"
A native of Russia, Anna has been dancing ever since she was six years old. We're thinking it was only natural, as her parents owned a dance studio. She took part in her first competition at the age of seven. And guess what? She won! It was the start of a trend, as she's been winning awards and accolades as an amateur and pro ever since!
Anna moved to the U.S. with her parents in 1998 when she was 17. Both mom and dad were professional ballroom dancers, and her mother still makes her costumes today. Way to keep it all in the family, Anna!
DWTS Data:
In Season Two of DWTS, Anna paired with football great Jerry Rice to make the finals, and ultimately a second place finish. In Season Five, she paired with model Albert Reed and in Season 6 she danced with actor/funnyman Steve Guttenberg.
Beyond DWTS:
But none of those pairings compare to the one she has offstage. We just love the fact that Anna is married to fellow DWTS pro Jonathan Roberts. Wonder if they carpool to work.

I was never that blown away by the 300. It's a movie and movie's do what they must to sell tickets. If you want armor, watch Excalibur. Personally, I like armor, and I would like to see it used more, instead we get all of this sexy abs crap. But, it does give you a better chance to watch a blood and carnage flick with your girlfriend.
Excalibur? lol! The armor in that film is only off by about 1000 years. Excalibur is a perfect example of sacrificing historical accuracy for coolness.
Excalibur was based on Malory's La Morte D'Arthur. Says so at the beginning of the movie. Neither Boorman nor the studio ever claimed to represent the culture or tech of 500AD. All of the late medieval Arthurian tales were told as if they were "contemporary". Hell, even tales of the Trojan War were told in the same way. Boorman's film seems perfectly in line (visually) with how Malory intended it.
However, the armor was quite practical/realistic, which (I think) was RJM's point.
And my point is that the tradition is still being carried on today. Just as La Morte D'Arthur is a reflection of the time in which it was written, so is Braveheart, Gladiator, and 300.

Off-Brand GoodnessPros: One stable heli that is great for kids well under 14 years old; more like 8+ as well as 40+. ;) Cons: Of course there are some cons to go with the pros, but what do you expect for this kind of money? Other Thoughts: For the money I spent on this heli and the abuse it has taken, I would buy another in a heartbeat - if only this one would totally break. Did you find this review helpful? |
good toy for the pricePros: fly's great around the apartment. Cons: takes a second for the remote to engage the copter Other Thoughts: should have got two Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: fun to play with, inexpensive Cons: short battery life, sensitive controls, bulky controller Other Thoughts: the dog likes (runs away from) it Did you find this review helpful? |
Ok not really greatPros: 20 bucks cheap device to entertain. It's crashed a lot and is still going strong. Cons: didnt really come with instructions. Finally figured out how to charge it, and it flew for about 15 minutes before it died. Charging takes what sems like 30 mintes. I was expecting a device that came with like a lithom ion and could fly up to 30 minutes or more. Other Thoughts: Id hold off and look for something that does better with battery life. Other than that i thought this was a fun toy that can stand a beating! Did you find this review helpful? |
piece of junk from chinaPros: nothing Cons: lasted about 6months battery wont charge, like most of egg stuff its just junk and when you give a bad review they del your comment and account. 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: None Cons: Broken out of the box --never even flew. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
GoodPros: It's a twenty dollar flying helicopter that takes 6 AA batteries. It gets off the ground. Cons: Really hard to control, and easy to crash. My 7 year old has to be supervised with this, and we only fly it over the grass. It only gets a few minutes of battery life, which is kind of disappointing, but it charges pretty quickly. Other Thoughts: We like it. Did you find this review helpful? |
Totally not workingPros: Maybe it's small, I don't know anything else, cuz it just does not work. Cons: Not working! Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: Faster flight compared to my other helis. Cons: Very touchy, needs skill to keep it steady. Always have to adjust prop speed when stopping and moving. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: flys well Cons: coptor has to charge from the remote and does not come with a usb type charge cable as most of the other brands i have tried. this cuts down on remote battery life. Also the rechargeable battery in the coptor does not hold much of a charge and, unless the remote batteries are new your flight time is very limited. I would spend more and buy a different brand next time. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

This incident takes place in a gay bar named Blakes, in Atlanta Georgia. It seems that an intoxicated patron threw a drink in an off duty police officers face. But the crux of the story for DCMR is the last paragraph in the news post that I have provided in the link below. These are a few words in that paragraph ( It is not illegal for citizens to film police actions) the point I want to make is that it's legal to record police. And this Bull Crap about the police using the wire tap law is a joke also, I have again posted the United States Court of Appeals ruling about that in a link below . The most powerful tool to fight corruption with is knowledge. An informed society is what we need to keep our public servants in line. Record Police Breaking the Law its your right.

McKinnis excels at two sports, academics
- 5-3-2010
- Categorized in: Athletics News
By Ashley Boyd, Tuscaloosa News
TUSCALOOSA | Playing college basketball and volleyball on an academic scholarship is a balancing act for Stillman College sophomore Jamilia McKinnis. While that load might be stressful for some, McKinnis has been able to carry it with honors.
McKinnis, 20, was recognized both on and off the court after being named the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference most valuable player in volleyball and also making the All-SIAC academic team with her 4.0 grade-point average in biology.
Whether she's on the road, traveling to a game or in the classroom studying biology, McKinnis keeps her eye on the ball, literally. Her dedication to sports and school has paid off after helping lead the Stillman volleyball and basketball teams make it to the SIAC tournaments.
"She's a tremendous athlete, and you would never tell by her accomplishments from her demeanor. She's done a lot in both sports and in the classroom as well and is a class act," said Stillman's new women's basketball coach, C.C. Moorer.
While McKinnis isn't the first Stillman athlete to play two sports, athletics director Curtis Campbell said she is recognized both within the conference and at the state level for her accomplishments.
"She's the epitome of what a student-athlete should be," Campbell said.
"They don't get much better than her character-wise, playing-wise or academic-wise," Phillips added.
When asked what she was most proud of, McKinnis couldn't pick a sport. McKinnis has been active since an early age and started playing volleyball and basketball by chance when a neighbor invited her to a volleyball practice. Volleyball and basketball weren't her only two sports, but McKinnis was also a cheerleader in middle school and made the dance team in high school.
While she couldn't cheer and play sports at the same time, she remained committed to her studies and decided early on to become a pharmacist. Coming to Stillman for her undergraduate degree, McKinnis said, was the ideal fit in that it allowed her to concentrate on both.
"I like that the classes at Stillman are small, so I get more one-on-one with my teachers,' she said. "It takes some dedication and motivation. Instead of doing nothing, I do my work on my trips."
Mary Jane Krotzer, Stillman's dean of arts and sciences and an associate professor of biology, said that few student-athletes have McKinnis' level of commitment to schoolwork. Krotzer adds that McKinnis will work as a CVS pharmacy tech in Mobile over the summer during her break from practices.
"Being a two-sport athlete, of course, has a tremendous pull on a student," Krotzer said. "She always seems to put her academics as a priority. That's something that sets her apart."
Stillman students recognized McKinnis by voting her as the the school's best all-around female student-athlete on campus this year. While McKinnis is enjoying a short break before offseason volleyball practice begins in May and basketball resumes practice in October, she's ready to get started.
"She's an excellent role model for all student-athletes to show that just because you participate in a sport, it doesn't mean you can slack on the academic side," Campbell said. "It's really important for student-athletes to concentrate in the classroom so they can go out and have productive careers. She's providing it can be done successfully."
Said Moorer, "Watching her in just a short period of time, I see what she brings and has. I hope her ability and leadership rubs off on the other players.

Long story short: By upping the ante character-wise and creating memorable action sequences, Catching Fire is a vast improvement on the first Hunger Games film. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire will remind you of: The Lord of the Flies, Battle Royale, Predator, The Truman Show, Dark City, The Running Man, The Dirty Dozen.
The second Hunger Games movie has arrived and it blows the first one out of the water. Director Francis Lawrence (no relation to Jennifer) has the pulse of the fandom. Gone are the handheld action sequences of the first film, the campy CGI crowds of Panem, the frustrating tendency to play it safe. Lawrence's sequel is just "more" and "better" in every way.

Sometimes a push in the right direction comes from out of nowhere.
Before Annilin Severns became a four-year volleyball player at Paducah Tilghman High School — and a varsity captain this year — she was an eighth-grader with little volleyball experience or interest.
"The coach actually talked to me my eighth grade year because I was tall," Severns said. "So I went to a little camp thing and I liked it, so I just kept going.
"Being in that position, it helps you learn how to make a team work together ... I like that a lot."
Thriving in groups is a theme with Severns as she became a section leader in the Band of Blue, playing French horn, and president of the Reidland United Methodist Church's youth group.
Combining her involvement with a 3.8 grade-point average in challenging courses makes her Teen of the Week.
Severns, daughter of Jennifer and Scott Severns, is the Murray State University Teen of the Week. Each Monday, the Sun features a different MSU Teen of the Week selected from nominees submitted by high school guidance counselors throughout western Kentucky and southern Illinois. In May, a Teen of the Year will be chosen from the weekly winners, earning a $5,000 scholarship to Murray State. Teen of the Week is part of the Sun's Newspapers in Education program.
Perhaps the biggest compliment to Severns' character and abilities is how challenging she is to her teachers.
As Alan Tucker, Paducah Tilghman science teacher, puts it: "Having students like Annilin is very challenging for a teacher. The teacher must keep things flowing in order to keep up with her. She is the type of student most teachers look for but seldom get."
Severns handles significant responsibility in stride, according to Patrick Saddler, the school's band director.
"As section leader, Annilin had the responsibility of overseeing the motivation, discipline, and work ethic of approximately 72 students," Saddler said.
"She is an extremely focused and committed young woman."
That focus and commitment led her to be involved in the National Honor Society, the school's recycling club and National Beta Club. Other activities Severns takes on are student council, hand bell choir at her church and the high school's choir.
She spent two weeks last summer at the Lakeshore United Methodist Assembly in Eva, Tenn., serving as a volunteer counselor. She chooses to speak more about helping an autistic middle school student learn trumpet than receiving the Kentucky High School Athletic Association's All State Academic Award. That probably has something to do with all of her youth service with her church, including a puppet ministry she helped start for the young church members.
"The kids love it," Severns said. "They're just drawn in and it's great."
Severns is still considering several universities, including DePaul, Kentucky and Millsaps College.
She's interested in pharmacy or medicine, but not committed to a major just yet. Wherever she ends up, Severns will be ready for a challenge. Perhaps the professors should be ready for a challenge, too.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The cost of mailing a first-class letter will go up by a penny.
The price of a postcard will increase from 32 cents to 33 cents, while a new global "forever" stamp will allow customers to mail letters anywhere in the world for one set price of $1.10. Currently, the prices for international letters vary.
Other price increases:
—Postcards will go up one penny to 33 cents.
—Priority mail, small box, $5.80; medium box, $12.35; large box, $16.85.
—Priority mail, regular envelope, $5.60; legal envelope, $5.75; padded envelope, $5.95.
—Delivery confirmation will be free on packages, including priority mail and parcel post, rather than being an extra charge.
The prices go into effect Jan. 27.
The U.S. Postal Service, which posted a record annual loss of $15.9 billion, proposed the rate increase last month.
The rate increase is tied to the rate of overall inflation. It will make only a small dent in the mail agency's financial losses.

- 26 Jun 2013 Anonymous USA
- " There are some places like lamp shades or some decor trinkets in the kitchen that haven't been cleaned for years. I mean, I don't have royal requirements, cleaning such stuff once a year or every few months is enough. But the current dust is years old. Apart from that Hilltop Hostel is superb. "
- 12 Jun 2013 Anonymous Poland
- " Location is good because it is right across from the subway. However, I found out that subway in DC is something extremely expensive and I might as well have stayed at a hostel with a better location and spent the same. It was quite clean, but people were a little bit too old for hostels. "
- 04 Jun 2013 Tamara Brazil
- " The water supply in the third level was not that good but it get fixed on our last day. I enjoyed the hot shower though. There's only a single bathroom in every level, so you have to wait for the bathroom to become available. As for me, I'm always the first one to use it since I get to wake up early. The stairs are a bit steep and narrow. Overall, the place was nice and simple. "
- 24 May 2013 Anonymous Philippines
- " The hostel reservation was booked using a credit card. However, when I arrived I was told they only took cash. If they had included the phrase "NO CREDIT CARDS ACCEPTED" on their website in bold letters I never would have reserved a room as I travel on plastic. What they had was "We only accept cash or travelers checks at time of check in " which led me to believe they did take plastic but rooms had to be put on the card before arriving. Their off site parking is under the table and cash only. "

Fire destroyed a vacant house Sunday morning on Valley Road, off Branson Street near Haymount.
The fire at 320 Valley Road was reported at 4:37 a.m., said Fayetteville Fire Department Battalion Chief Ron Lewis.
The roof of the two-story house was in flames and sagging in spots when firefighters arrived, Lewis said. The roof collapsed within 15 minutes. Firefighters stayed out of the house and kept the flames contained.
The house was owned by John A. Lombrano Jr. and his wife, Jennifer, according to Cumberland County tax records. The couple, who have moved, were getting the house ready to use as a rental property, Lewis said.
The house, built in 1949, was valued at $149,824, tax records show.
The cause of the fire has not been determined, Lewis said.

New collaboration between Wikimedia UK and The National Archives
15 September
We are working with Wikimedia UK to improve online articles relating to The National Archives, as part of the GLAMwiki (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) initiative.
Wikipedia is the seventh most popular site on the internet. It is the first place that many people go to find information and it is home to a vibrant community of editors. Around 40,000 people contribute to English-language Wikipedia each month and we want their help, and yours, to share and improve knowledge about our collections across Wikipedia, WikiCommons and Wikisource.
Visit The National Archives' project page on English language Wikipedia and find out how you can participate - from translating articles and carrying out research to giving us your ideas about where we should take this exciting collaboration next.
Quick access to museum artefact information on your smartphone
As part of this project to increase digital engagement we have used the QRpedia service to link some of our museum exhibits to articles on Wikipedia. In the on site museum at Kew, visitors can use their smartphones to scan QR (quick response) codes next to the exhibits. QR codes are barcodes that can be read by smartphones to link physical and virtual documents.
The QR codes will allow visitors to the museum to explore more information on particular displays than can physically be provided on written captions. They can also deliver pages (where they exist) in the language of the user's handset.
Visitors to the museum will also be invited to contribute their knowledge to The National Archives-related articles on Wikipedia.
