College Student's Survival Guide
by: Robin Roenker
Smart stuff, from five high-achieving students, for keeping your grades up while working or participating in college activities
If you're a new college freshman, it usually doesn't take too many weeks into the first semester to realize: you're not in high school anymore. College is a whole different ball game.
The classes are harder. Assignments are tougher. Papers and tests are longer. And suddenly, you
re in charge of your own schedule—for better or worse. No more parents or teachers to help plan your day and keep you on track to get assignments done. It's up to you.
Adjusting to the new rules can be challenging. But if you're like most college students—juggling school alongside other demands like sports, jobs, or family responsibilities—you soon realize time is too precious to waste.
We interviewed five high-achieving college students who manage to keep up their grades while packing more into a day than might seem possible. (And yet they still find time to sleep.) They shared their tips for achieving college-life balance and getting it all done. If they can do it, you can too!
Keeping track of assignments
Owen Electric member Ashley Baker, a Northern Kentucky University sophomore from Butler, has managed to maintain straight A's (and several
academic scholarships) while going to school full time, working 25 hours a week at Frisch's, and caring for her son, Levi, who is 11 months old.
It's a lot to tackle, so Baker makes a point of
creating "to-do" lists each day to not let anything slip through the cracks.
"I have a whiteboard on the wall where I write down everything I have going on and everything that's due each day," she says. "I have paper notes to myself all over the house."
The whiteboard approach also works well for Collin Keen of Scottsville, a junior criminal justice major and football player at Lindsey Wilson College in Columbia. Keen, a Tri-County Electric member, is a regular on the Dean's List and had the honor of catching his team's first regular season touchdown last fall.
To excel both on the field and in the classroom, Keen keeps track of assignments and practice schedules on the whiteboard in his dorm room, and on written academic calendars that his coaching staff provides.
"The coaches really keep on us to stay on top of our assignments, especially if we have road trips coming up," Keen says. "We have to work with our teachers to make sure we don't have anything due while we're gone."
Other students prefer a more high-tech approach to tracking their assignments. Kelsey Hinken of Burlington, a junior honors program student and cross country team member at Thomas More College in Crestview Hills, programmed all of her school assignments into her smartphone using an app called iProcrastinate.
"It's so much more convenient to have it all on my phone," says Hinken, an Owen Electric Co-op member, who attends school on an academic scholarship and fits in her running training while working two part-time jobs as a professor's assistant and resident assistant for a senior assisted-living facility. "Little alerts pop up when a due date is nearing. Everything is color-coded by subject and priority, and I can just go to my phone and see what's coming up," she says.
Schedule class times carefully
If you need to have large blocks of time to hold down a job, volunteer on campus, or be part of a sports team, it's essential to get your classes done back-to-back, preferably in the mornings, students say. Leaving afternoons and evenings open for work shifts or practice times is key.
"I love getting classes out of the way in the morning," says Hinken. I'm wide awake. I'm focused. My head's on class then, and afterward I have the afternoon free for running or other things."
Having an hour break between classes may seem like a good idea, but it can be a recipe for wasted time.
"My first two semesters, I scheduled breaks between my classes, thinking I would study, but I ended up going shopping or out to eat with friends, basically any excuse I could come up with not to study," says Baker.
Since then, Baker has found a set routine to be much more productive. She now goes to school back-to-back from 9 a.m. to 1:50 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and then works from
4 p.m. to 11 p.m. Wednesdays and Fridays, along with a weekend shift.
Hinken finds that the busier she is, the more productive she is, because she doesn't have time to waste: "This year, because I have such a tight schedule after class with working and cross country, I don't put things off, and I get much more done," she says.
Use chunking instead of multi-tasking
It's tempting to text or read e-mails or make a quick phone call between classes.
But if you're a student-athlete like sophomore Georgia Van de Zande of Raleigh, North Carolina (whose mom is a reader at our sister publication), tackling mind-bending classes like thermal fluids engineering at MIT while swimming competitively and designing low-energy underwater gliders for a team robotics club, no minute is too small to waste.
On a typical day, Van de Zande must pack in five hours of class, three hours of swim practice, and five hours of studying—not to mention finding time to sleep and eat. That's why she makes a point of working during down time between classes and swimming, no matter how small the break.
"The other day I had a 30-minute break before practice, so I worked on writing an English essay that was due," she says. "Because I broke it down into a few half-hour sessions, I got it done without having to block out a huge, separate chunk of time."
The same approach worked for Baker, who was able to tackle an entire accounting class project by working on it during the 10-minute breaks between her classes over a two-week period. Getting it done in small breaks allowed her not to have to take time away from her son to get it done at home, she says.
Find an accountability partner
Finding a study partner—either a friend you knew before or someone in the class—pays off.
Louisville native Lindsey Hammers, who graduated with a social studies teaching certificate from Campbellsville University last December, hated taking early morning classes. She avoided 8 a.m. classes whenever possible, but when she had to register for an 8 a.m. economics class one semester, she signed up with a friend.
"I knew I had to be there, so I took it with a friend. That way I knew we'd be accountable to each other, and we'd help one another show up," she says.
Collin Keen's roommate, Jarred Rich, is a fellow criminal justice major, so the two shared four out of five classes together last semester. They ended up partnering to study and prepare for assignments, and found that it benefited both of them, Keen says.
"It helped a lot. We shared notes and if something was due soon, he would remind me, or I would remind him," Keen says.
Find a study time and place
At Murray State University, student-athletes who have a GPA below 3.0 are required to meet for between two and 10 hours of supervised study time each week, says academic counselor Meagan Short. Short works one-on-one with students to help set up study schedules and establish good time-management skills for tackling assignments.
But you don't have to be a student-athlete to establish fixed study times within your routine. You can be accountable to yourself: block out two to three hours each night for dedicated study time, and go to a place—like a library or quiet study commons—without distractions so you can really focus on your work, students advised.
"The library is a great place to study," says Hinken. "Everyone is quiet there and doing the same thing you are doing, so you don't feel like you're missing out on anything."
Find your passion
Face it, college can be stressful. Tack on outside responsibilities like work or parenting, and it's easy to feel burned out. That's why it's essential to schedule time for an outlet such as exercise or a hobby, something that lets you blow off some steam and regroup, students say.
For Georgia Van de Zande, that passion is swimming. Having competed in the pool since second grade, swimming laps has become a part of her identity; it's like her personal "reset button," she says.
"I can go in the pool after having a bad day, and just restart. It lets you forget about whatever problems you were having. Then afterward, I shower and grab dinner with the team, and feel ready to get back to schoolwork," she says.
Running is what helps Kelsey Hinken keep everything in perspective. "Running is my passion. It's what I love to do," says Hinken, who tries to get up at 6 a.m. to run part of her 6 to 8 daily miles before her classes start. Getting her workout in early helps her feel focused and ready to tackle the day, she says.
Keep studies the top priority
And while sports, clubs, and jobs demand time and attention, don't lose sight of the fact that college studies have to be the first priority. Keeping your grades up and staying on track to graduate are why you're in college, after all.
That mindset is what keeps Ashley Baker working hard in class, despite the demands of waitressing and being a first-time parent. Where others might have given up the dream of college altogether, she's maintaining a 4.0 GPA. "Work is important, but school comes first. I have to go to college," she says. "I don't want to work as a waitress the rest of my life."
Colleges offer an array of resources to help students stay on track with their studies. From academic advising to time-management skill tutorials, make the most of the help your school has to offer:
1. Professors
Get to know your professor. Visit him or her during office hours to ask questions about material that's confusing. Attend scheduled study sessions in advance of midterm and final exams—often these sessions will help guide you on what specific topics to focus on during test prep.
2. Mentorships
As a freshman at Campbellsville University, Lindsey Hammers signed up to take part in a program that matched new college students with "grandparents" in the community. Little did she know that the pairing would still be reaping dividends five years later. Her adopted grandparents, Dr. Robert and Lillian Clark, became close friends; Lillian, a former English teacher, even helped edit Hammers' college writing assignments. And the couple introduced Hammers to criminology professor Jacquelyn Sandifer, who became another mentor, confidante, and support to her during her studies. It was Sandifer who helped Hammers get two summer jobs working with special-needs children.
Bottom line: don't overlook opportunities to make connections with professors and others in your college community. Sign up for mentorships, shadowing, or other networking opportunities. One simple connection could lead to unexpected jobs, opportunities, or chances for growth.
3. Study centers and writing labs
At Campbellsville University, students can find a quiet place to study and even get free, walk-in tutoring at The Learning Commons. Nearby, they can get free help on an upcoming writing assignment at the school's Writing Center. Both services are part of the school's Badgett Academic Support Center, says Meagan Davidson, director of The Learning Commons.
Most colleges offer similar, free writing and tutoring help. Seek out these resources and make the most of them, from the beginning of the semester. Don't wait until your grade is in jeopardy to seek assistance.
4. Advising offices
Meet with your academic advisor routinely to go over your planned schedule of classes. This will help ensure you're on track to get degree requirements fulfilled. Your advisor can also offer suggestions of cross-disciplinary classes, work-study, or internship opportunities that can supplement your major course work and help prepare you for the job market after college.
5. Student counseling services
Most colleges' counseling services offices include an array of helpful resources, from free workshops on time management and stress management to free one-on-one mental health counseling. So, if you're feeling overwhelmed by all the demands on your time, don't hesitate to seek out a professional who can help.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Second Harvest North Florida teamed with WJXT on Thursday, June 14, to raise nearly 11,000 pounds of food for neighbors in need through the station's annual Shredder Day event.
Viewers were encouraged to bring nonperishable food items during the day-long shredder event, along with any personal items that they wished to have shredded, courtesy of Republic Services Recycling. Free shredding was offered for items such as bank statements, canceled checks, medical records and other paperwork containing personal information to help prevent identity theft.
The event ran from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and resulted in more than 3,300 vehicles dropping off items to be destroyed. The food collected, along with several hundred dollars in cash, resulted in more than 10,000 meals being created.
Volunteers from the 125th Fighter Wing of the Florida Air National Guard assisted, along with staff from Republic Services, WJXT and Second Harvest.

The first lines of source code were added to XMMS in 1999. Projects with recent activity, and a code base more than five years old are likely solving vital problems and delivering consistent value, and may be organized to reward sustained effort by an engaged team of contributors.
Such a lengthy source control history in conjunction with recent activity may indicate that this code base and community are important enough to attract long-term commitment, and may also indicate a mature and relatively bug-free code base.
Note: The source code for XMMS might actually be older than the source control history can reveal. Many new projects begin by incorporating a large amount of source code from existing, older projects. You might be able to tell whether this is the case by looking for a rapid rise in the amount of code early in the project's history.
XMMS is written mostly in C.
Across all C projects on Ohloh, 19% of all source code lines are comments. For XMMS, this figure is only 12%.
This lack of comments puts XMMS among the lowest one-third of all C projects on Ohloh.
A high number of comments might indicate that the code is well-documented and organized, and could be a sign of a helpful and disciplined development team.
The source code for XMMS has not been changed in over a year.
Over 75% of all projects on Ohloh have no recent activity. Open source has a "long tail" of projects whose developers have moved on. But the code is still there for all to benefit from!
For this measurement, Ohloh considers only recent changes to the code. Over the entire history of the project, 18 developers have contributed.

Kathmandu, Apr.27:
The government on Friday claimed that the directive issued by the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) to halt the release of budgets under non-budgetary headings was against the law.
The CIAA on Thursday issued directive to the Office of Prime Minister and Council of Ministers not to release any budget in the name of Peoples Participation Programme which were not approved by the National Planning Commission and not mentioned in the annual budget statement of the current fiscal year.
Thursdays directive issued by the CIAA is against the law. It is not authorized to do so, Finance Minister Barsha Man Pun said after the cabinet meeting at Singha Durbar Friday morning.
"We will further discuss the matter with the CIAA officials. It needs to be made clear under what legal authority the commission took the step," Minister Pun said.
CIAA has no such rights to issue directives to the government; Pun said, adding that the commission could only make recommends and alert the government on such issues.
Releasing of budgets under non-budgetary headings would amount to abuse of authority and would be treated as corruption, CIAA wrote in its statement on Thursday.
Minister Pun, however, claimed that government ministries have rights to release up to 25 per cent of budget under other headings not mentioned in the budget speech. If the ministries need extra budget up to 10 per cent in such cases, they require the permission of the National Planning Commission and the Finance Ministry.
"Such practice prevailed in the tenure of past governments and the current government is doing nothing new," Minister Pun claimed.
In a reference to thepeace process, Minister Pun said that the government is currently releasing Rs. 4 billion to give continuity to halted projects.
Budgets of up to onemillion rupees made available as relief assistance to family members of those who died of different causes including in the attacks of armed groups, fall in this category. These allocations are not stated in the budget statement, Minister Pun said.
Similarly, the meeting of the Council of Ministers extended the term of the taskforce formed to define the criteria of martyrdom, by one month.
The cabinet meeting accepted a grant of 4.64 billion rupees from the Asian Development Bank to run integrated rural development projects.
Minister Pun said that the government has formed 14-member national directive committee led by Dipendra Bahadur Chhetri, vice-chairman of National Planning Commission, for effective implementation of the President Chure Conservation Programme.
Likewise, the government endorsed first amendment to the regulation of the Kathmandu Valley Development Authority after technical glitches surfaced while appointing executive chief of the Authority, Minister Pun said.
Meanwhile, the government has appointed former mayor of Kathmandu Metropolis Keshav Sthapit as the commissioner of the Kathmandu Valley Development Authority (KVDA). Sthapit has been appointed to the post for a maximum tenure of five years. Earlier, the government had dissolved Kathmandu Municipal Development Committee to replace it with KVDA.
The government extended the term of two Brigadier Generals (technical) Dr. Prakash Raj Pandey and Dr. Bachchu Ram KC of Nepal Army till April 2 and 8, 2014 respectively.
Fridays cabinet meeting also endorsed the committee formed to resume the halted processes of land registration in Sunsari district as per the Land Survey Act-1962.

Our Vision
The United Workers Congress brings together sectors of workers who were told they couldn't organize but who went out and did it anyway. They provide inspiring models for innovative labor organizing for the 21st century. Their hard-won victories provide the foundation for a new framework for a new era of building worker power. These organizations are ready for the long-term movement that it will take to expand the rights of workers—both in the United States and around the world—to organize and to exercise their collective power.
The United Workers Congress believes that all people who work have the human right to organize and deserve working conditions of respect and dignity, regardless of the temporary nature of their work, their lack of a fixed workplace, their immigration status, any previous criminal convictions, whether they currently have a job or not, how they are classified or misclassified, or their lack of a traditional collective bargaining structure.
We will seek to overcome discrimination based on race, gender, age, immigration status, religion, sexual orientation and other categories. We understand that these categories are mostly used by employers to divide workers against each other.
We are a part of building, broadening and strengthening the labor movement in the US and abroad.

KFFL.com's Fantasy Baseball Diamond Market gives you candid reviews and ratings of fantasy baseball players making MLB news in your rotisserie or head-to-head baseball leagues. Are they trade bait or worth your FAAB dollars in your fantasy baseball games?
Michael Young, 1B/2B/3B, Texas Rangers
The promotion of Mike Olt to the parent club might've seemed to make sense. At the time of the move, Texas' offense had sputtered for more than a month, and a shakeup is often considered a possible cure. The Rangers exploded for 11 runs in a comeback victory versus their AL West rivals, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, on the same night that the organization revealed that it was promoting Olt, and the O has been more robust since.
The lack of punch from Young this season (.270/.302/.343) has been a hot topic, however; many, like this columnist, believed that the 35-year-old should lose playing time, and that was before the organization called up the hotshot youngster.
Earlier this week, Ron Washington told some media folk that he'd had enough of the 'Young needs to grab some pine' nonsense. The skipper gave his vet the day off on Wednesday, and a writer theorized that it may have refreshed Young, but it'll probably take more than that to fix that power outage.
It's impossible to overlook Young's poor hitting versus right-handed pitchers this season (.252/.279/.322, 0.32 BB/K). The right-handed batter's career marks against them (.301/.344/.439) are significantly better. He's simply lacked the ISO performance against southpaws this season.
Despite his age and dwindling home run output, it's likely that few fantasy owners, if any, expected such a sharp downturn in Young's production. Perhaps the signs were there in the second half of 2011, however, masked by his incredibly high line-drive rate and the .338 batting average that he maintained through the campaign's final two months.
Young's rate of extra-base hits dipped after the All-Star break in 2011 and resulted in drop-offs in his ISO in August (.100) and September (.074). That leads right into his 2012 ISO of .073, and it has steadily declined this year. His lifetime ISO is .142, and although he's come close, he's never posted a mark below .100 in the bigs.
Wash's loyalty to Young is propping up Young's fantasy value, what little of it there has been. Texas' dangerous offense has provided the career Ranger with plenty of chances to rack up counting stats that are more dependent on a player's team.
Young has undoubtedly advanced to a stage of his career in which home run power isn't a part of his game. As long as he's hitting at a decent clip (and, although fantasy owners are used to better, .270 is still a decent clip), the club's skipper probably won't leave Young off the lineup card very often.
Washington was right: Young has had some strong at-bats lately, particularly versus right-handers, and he's taken the ball the other way, with authority. It's encouraging, but it doesn't provide hope for much more than an uptick in his BA, to something a bit closer to his career .302 average. His grounder rate is greater than 50 percent for the first time in a season, with no signs of reversing a trend downward. You're probably stuck with him.
The lack of power from Young isn't a surprise to most rotisserie nuts, but the degree to which he fell off this season is. Young still hits the ball hard enough that, next year, he could again be a .300 hitter who scores and drives in plenty of runs. Barring some significant changes to the way he prepares his body, however, he's barely replacement-level by Texas' standards, and PT will be in greater danger in the future.
Jhoulys Chacin, SP, Colorado Rockies
On Thursday, Chacin (shoulder inflammation) made his final rehab start, going seven innings for Triple-A Colorado Springs and allowing five hits, one run and three walks. He didn't fan anyone, but he induced nine ground-ball outs.
The right-hander is scheduled to pitch for the big club on Monday or Tuesday against the New York Mets, as Troy Renck also noted.
He hasn't pitched in the majors since May 1, and he registered a 7.30 ERA in his five MLB starts following a spring in which his GM suggested that Chacin was out of shape. Initially, the organization sent him down, but they placed him on the DL shortly after the decision to remove him from the 25-man roster because of the discovered malady.
Post-break in 2011, Chacin seemed to fade substantially, with a 4.31 ERA, a .272 BAA, a 5.70 K/9 and a 4.31 BB/9. Those marks are notably worse than his career marks in his 73 games in The Show.
What we want to know now: Is Chacin back on track? The 6-foot-3, 225-pounder is still one of the better young, talented hurlers in the game. He'd struck out 8.03 per nine innings in his five starts this season, although he'd walked 5.47 per nine as well.
The 24-year-old's swinging-strike percentage doesn't come close to supporting a continuation of that dominance rate, unfortunately. He racked up only 13 K's (against seven walks) in 25 minor league stanzas, as well. Plus, although it defies logic, Jim Tracy intends to stick with his revolutionary four-man rotation. Chacin would rarely, if ever, be eligible for a W.
Until the club's skipper ditches - or is forced to ditch - the heinous pitching plan, no Rockies starter is worth plugging in. The Rockies have enough talent available that they could go back to something more conventional (and roto beneficial), and so Chacin may be worth tucking away. It looks like a lost season for him, though.

Democrats and the media are raising the usual outcry over Republican hard-heartedness and suggesting that the proposed Republican cuts will lead to widespread hunger and hardship. Most of the handwringing is based on myths.
The president has now apologized —sort of — for misleading people. But such protestations would be far more credible if the president and his administration didn't continue saying things that are, let us generously say, inaccurate.
House and Senate budget conferees have begun meeting in an attempt to head off another potential government shutdown when the latest continuing resolution expires, on January 15. In theory, the committee is supposed to report no later than December 13, but few on Capitol Hill expect them to come up with a deal by that deadline.
When the computer system running your signature legislative achievement is slightly less functional than painting on a cave wall, you know you have a big problem. When that's actually the good news, you know you have a really big problem.
Social Security is the single largest program of the federal government, accounting for more than 20 percent of all federal spending in 2012. Indeed, by some measures, it could be considered the largest government program in the world, providing more than $774 billion in benefits to 58 million recipients last year.
The bigger question — and one most important to the future of this country in the long run — is how we got to the point where a temporary suspension of some government services is seen as the end of civilization as we know it.
We were once told it would provide universal coverage, ensuring every American has access to affordable health insurance. Nope: The Congressional Budget Office says more than 33 million Americans will still be uninsured by 2023.
Capitalism threatened the old social order. And it still does so today. Race, religion, gender, and sexual orientation are irrelevant, enabling individuals to rise above social attitudes and historical discrimination.
While everyone's attention has been justifiably focused on whether or not we will be going to war in Syria, a pair of important fiscal deadlines has been quietly sneaking up on us.
Among the national chains and franchisees that have announced that Obamacare is forcing them to reduce employee hours: Applebee's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Del Taco, Denny's, FatBurger, Five Guys, Hardee's, IHOP, Olive Garden, Wendy's, and White Castle.
Making work pay better, including the sort of entry level jobs that people leaving welfare can expect to find, is a terrific goal. Unfortunately, government has very little ability to force such increases.
Unsurprisingly, our study has attracted criticism from several quarters. Some of those critics make valuable points that might improve future research, but most criticism falls far short of the mark.
A new study by the Cato Institute found that in many states, it does indeed pay better to be on welfare than it does to work.
When residents in Connecticut consider getting a job, they assume they would be better off having a job than not. They'd be wrong. Because in Connecticut, it pays not to work.
On January 8, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson delivered a State of the Union address to Congress in which he declared an "unconditional war on poverty in America." At the time, the poverty rate in America was around 19 percent and falling rapidly.
Asked if Republicans had the courage to fight for defunding, Rand Paul replied gloomily, "Honestly? Probably not."
The most obvious candidate is the city's vast unfunded pension programs, which have been running deficits for years. Fully 99.6 percent of the city's retiree health-care liabilities are unfunded.
The Obama administration and its various apologists in the media have long since elevated excuse making to something of an art form. This is, after all, an administration that once blamed high unemployment rates on ATM machines.
By postponing the employer mandate, therefore, the administration has shifted costs from employers to workers and/or taxpayers. That hardly seems fair. So we should expect the administration to come under pressure to postpone the individual mandate as well.
But while obesity is a real problem, the AMA's move is actually a way for its members to receive more federal dollars, by getting obesity treatments covered under government health plans.

do you have to sync it with your phone or ipad each time you use it? or can it be placed out of reach?

1 Answer from the Community
The device doesn't do any sync. It is just a speaker. You still need to play the music on your iPhone/iPad but instead of being played in the earphones, the sound is relayed to the Bose speaker. (You can also play on both devices simultaneously if you want).

from Chris Dornin's article in Corrections.com:
....So we register sex offenders as surrogate terrorists and post their personal information as if it were bin Laden's bio on the Internet for everyone to see. Failure to report to police on a quarterly basis earns a sex offender a new felony charge. We ban them from living near schools, daycare centers and school bus stops with draconian penalties for violations. We civilly commit them when they finish their prison terms.
We make sure those are long sentences by stacking charges in multiple consecutive bids. Each image of child on hard drive becomes a separate felony. We give sex offenders special license plates. The police notify the neighbors when a sex offender moves in nearby. The neighbors evict them, or force the landlords to do it for them, sometimes subtly, sometimes with raw violence.

.NET StockTrader Sample Application announcements
The new 6.0 version, which can live side-by-side with the 5.5 version, is now live. Visit http://msdn.microsoft.com/stocktrader to download the source code with automated setup wizard.
You can read the technical whitepaper about it, including the mobile client architecture, and support for SQL Database Federation here.
You can view the application running live on Windows Azure (new HTML 5/MVC client) at https://azurestocktrader6.cloudapp.net; or the classic ASP.NET Web Forms client at https://azurestocktrader6classic.cloudapp.net.
The download also includes Configuration Service 6.0, which adds support for Azure Service Bus. You can access ConfigWeb 6.0 to explore the live deployment at https://azureconfigweb6.cloudapp.net.
The updated StockTrader 5.5 sample is now available for download and setup. This replaces the 5.0 release of StockTrader. The installer can be downloaded from https://azurestocktrader.cloudapp.net or http://msdn.microsoft.com/stocktrader.
This new download includes the new Configuration Service 5.5 assemblies and ConfigWeb 5.5. Configuration Service 5.5 is backward compatible with 5.0 configuration repositories. You will want to rebuild solutions implementing Configuration Service 5.0 with the new 5.5 shared libraries.
StockTrader 5.5 What's New
The big change is support for Windows Azure SQL Database Federations. Federations allows horizontal partitioning, also called sharding, of the Azure SQL Database data tier. You will note that we have also split the previously single database into two separate physical databases: a QuoteDB and an AccountDB. By default after install, neither will be federated. You can use the new \stocktrader\builds\SQL_Loader\TradeSQLLoader.exe to create new QuoteDB/AccountDB databases, and choose the number of federation members when creating the initial databases. You can then deploy (to Azure) and then use the \stocktrader\databaseloaders\TradeSQLAzureLoader application to load data into the federated databases.
The single DAL layer works now against on-premises SQL Server (including SQL Server running in an Azure Virtual Machine); non-federated Windows Azure SQL Database, and federated Azure SQL Databases.
Configuration Service 5.5 What's New
Configuration Service 5.5 has various bug fixes, and especially enhancements to the SQL retry logic in the SQLHelper Class. Solutions using Configuration Service 5.0 should be upgraded to the new 5.5 assemblies, as well minor updates have been made to ConfigWeb.
Coming Soon: StockTrader 6.0
Within the next few weeks, a new version of StockTrader will also be available: StockTrader 6.0. StockTrader 6.0 does not replace StockTrader 5.5; but rather is a new Azure-only implementation, and it is not backward compatible with 5.5. You will be able to do side-by-side installs. Both will remain on the MSDN site. The coming Config Service 6.0 version adds support for Windows Azure Service Bus bindings, and StockTrader 6.0 can optionally be configured to use Service Bus and reliable messaging for order processing. In addition, RESTFUL web services are used in the new Business Logic layer, and the service can serve as the cloud-based backend for new StockTrader 6.0 clients that will be included in the download: Windows 8 Modern UI client; HTML5 ASP.NET/MVC client, Windows Phone client, Android client, and IPhone client.
If you have setup issues, or questions about the sample once it is installed this is the place to post them. Thank you!

"Obama also vowed to increase capital gains and dividends taxes from 15 percent to 20 percent for those making more than $250,000 (for couples) or $200,000 (for individuals). The fiscal cliff bill raised those taxes to 20 percent, but only for taxpayers earning $400,000 (for individuals) or $450,000 (for couples) and up. So the deal executed most of what Obama promised on capital gains and dividends, but it did so only above a higher income threshold. We rate this a Compromise."
Yes, I know, you are proving my point. Thanks

-- politicians -- that once they run for office their lives are open to public scrutiny but some Republican members in congress say house Democrats are taking this to a whole new level.
Recording video of their homes and their families.
And then posting the pictures to the Internet.
My guess here say it happened and -- Republican representative Jim -- C and Ohio and congressman Reid -- of Wisconsin gentlemen thank you both so much for being here.
So this you know it's I'm sure you knew when you ran for office and they're -- watching out on the campaign trail I can record everything you said.
And it could wind up in -- -- but congressman and little let me start with you did you expect them to be taking video of your home and your family.
No not at all I mean that I think it really crosses a line of just.
Political decorum as -- where.
I think I think it's fair game for people that trackers at or the other party opposition to tape you when you're in a public event to see what you're saying.
I think that's fine but this type that this type of video doesn't really do anything for them or for the political process.
And quite frankly it it really disturb my wife she was very concerned about her own personal safety.
And so I think I think it is.
Problem well and you know we're showing the video I regretfully because you know we want we're telling the story but doesn't you know hopefully this.
Is -- this is your Holland and and you've come on to talk about about what I want to talk about what specifically they did because is it just posting a video of the exterior of your house and what benefits.
Today claims gain from that why are they using that against you -- I'm not exactly certain I'm I'm certain there other then the probably try to.
Maintain some type a narrative either I live in a very expensive home which I don't I live in a relatively modest middle class home in in northeast Wisconsin in -- middle class neighborhood.
I've been a successful business person and it might they might want to try to label me with a 1% as it or.
But my -- my question is would you rather -- wasn't successful we are trying to do to manage a 3.5 trillion dollar.
Budget here in this country.
I would think you'd want somebody who's had some financial management -- their life doing it.
Coming Henry C they did the same to you over a posting video -- the exterior of your home why do you -- -- goes too far.
Well again Megan this is a Republican district it's two incumbents it's incumbent Democrat Betty Sutton one of the most liberal.
Politicians and America and I'm sure when she doesn't have a record to run on after six years.
They are filming.
My house and they filmed some of my businesses it's it's amazing that they would stoop this -- But again I think when they don't have a record to run on.
These are the tactics they take.
You know the this is all based on an article that came out of Politico.
In part this is based on and and -- political reports that Democrats.
Insist these videos are our fair -- game -- -- on apologetic about these hardball tactics they -- a guy named.
Jesse Ferguson who's that Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spokesman.
Who said look you spent a house Republicans has spent his entire congress trying to hide that your protecting benefits for millionaires and perks for your -- Instead of protecting the middle class and we won't let them keep it secret.
Any longer congress -- see your thoughts on that.
Well again this is a -- or political rhetoric that continues since I've been in congress the last seventeen months or really need to do start talking about jobs and the economy.
And quit talking about -- gamesmanship -- that's.
Here rich guy that you can't relate to regular Americans look look at your fancy home the average American doesn't that kind of almost on -- -- -- -- -- -- out of touch.
Well -- what they should do is go -- home I grew up and I came from a middle class.
Union Democrat blue collar family.
I -- it was a four room home I would hope they would show that -- show that anywhere in America.
There's opportunity and I -- I stress that all the time.
And it's great that I think anyone in America can have that opportunity.
But as congressman rebels said.
We're talking about some big numbers what I would hope that they would want people there that have balanced budgets made payrolls understand what it is have to live within -- -- -- congressman asked.
And that's what I do.
Personally -- you worry about safety say your wife is creeped out by best buy you know -- in an age where we signed you know their real difference shot down publicly.
You know the -- step closer to our lawmakers and night -- their homes in their addresses their families.
Does it give you any pauses a public figure.
Well it gives me a little bit of pause fortunately I I live in northeastern Wisconsin which is a very safe area where their neighbors watch out for neighbors.
But I I -- that I don't think this type of strategy works that the idea of using fear and intimidation not going to be effective.
If if they should have learned one thing about the Governor Walker recall the state of Wisconsin that this type of politics doesn't work.
In it was soundly rejected just a few weeks ago and it'll be rejected again.
Now I mean it you guys don't you know make a lot of money when you when you take it down in the US congress and -- you are they undergo a lot of public scrutiny song Lazazzera Allison does seem.
Bridge too far guys thank you -- so much for being here.
Thanks thank you thank you.

Priority Mail: USPS Emphasizes Direct Mail for Small Business
The United States Postal Service (USPS) is continuing its emphasis on programs to introduce new business mailers to direct mail marketing.
The United States Postal Service (USPS) is continuing its emphasis on programs to introduce new business mailers to direct mail marketing. The programs are:
- The Direct Mail Hub
- Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM)
- 2nd Ounce Free
- 2012 Mobile Commerce and Personalization Promotion
The USPS is clear on the intent of all these programs: to acquaint small business customers with the benefits and value of direct mail marketing, to counter misconceptions about direct mail, and to remove barriers to using direct mail that small businesses may have experienced in the past. Ultimately, the intent is to promote growth of mail used for marketing purposes. Preliminary results released by the USPS indicates that the programs are being used, though mail volume overall has continued to decline.
While applauding the USPS initiative to boost mail volume, the mailing community is concerned that two programs–The Direct Mail Hub and EDDM–have features that will eventually eliminate the need for the services now being provided by commercial mailers.
The Direct Mail Hub
The Direct Mail Hub (https://uspsdmhub.com) is aimed at small businesses that haven't used direct mail in the past because it was too complicated or time consuming. At the Hub website potential mailers can choose between a quote service provided by DirectMailQuotes (a business unit of Mailers Haven, a list broker serving the mailing community) to which commercial mailers can subscribe; and DirectMail2Go, an online template-driven print and mail service offered by First Marketing in Pompano Beach, FL.
During the pilot, USPS executives were sensitive to the fact that using preselected contractors created the appearance of competition with commercial mailers. Michael Makin, president of Printing Industries of America, wrote to Postmaster General Pat Donahoe to encourage the use of Print Access, the online database of association members, to expand the listing of mailing service providers at The Direct Mail Hub.
Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM)
EDDM (http://www.uspseverydoor.com) is designed for "local" mailers—businesses whose target audience is businesses and/or residents located in one or more ZIP codes. Two distinguishing features of EDDM are that the mail piece can use the simplified address format (Postal Customer) which eliminates the need for a mailing list, and can be mailed at the DDU saturation rate (currently 14.5 cents per piece).
There are two versions of EDDM. EDDM Retail is a do-it-yourself product that does not require the mailer to have a bulk mail permit and allows entry of mail through the "front" or retail counter of the post office. EDDM BMEU is for mailers who have a permit and enter through the bulk mail entry unit.
Since launching EDDM in April 2011, the USPS has been promoting it heavily with mailings to small businesses and by deploying its Business Solutions Specialists as an outside sales force. Though the USPS claims otherwise, it appears that the target audience for EDDM promotions was assembled at least in part from the ghost permits of commercial mailers.
In 2011, EDDM sales were $270 million; the goal for 2012 is $1 billion in sales according to USPS vice president of sales Cliff Rucker. To reach this goal, the USPS has expanded its list of target audiences, to include alliances with printers.
The mailing community is split on whether EDDM provides a benefit or is another example of USPS competition. Of interest, but not yet determined, is whether EDDM is truly bringing in new customers or whether the sales represent a shift from mail that would have been part of the mail stream anyway. There is also some concern that EDDM Retail may be enabling mailers who would have used a commercial mailer to move to do-it-yourself.

Do you know the No. 1 killer of Hoosiers under the age of 45?
It is injury, more specifically trauma. Motor vehicle fatalities are a special challenge for Indiana, as our state ranks first in the nation for interstate highway miles per land area. And even though the death rate has decreased in the last 10 years, motor vehicle fatalities remain the No. 1 killer of Hoosiers ages 5-24.
Injury and trauma are more problematic for our rural areas. Sixty percent of all trauma deaths occur in areas of the United States where only 25 percent of the population lives.
In the LaGrange, Steuben, Noble, DeKalb, Whitley, Allen, Miami, Wabash, Huntington, Wells and Adams county area that makes up your local health preparedness district, there were 1,148 trauma hospitalizations from falls in 2009. Falls were the largest cause of trauma hospitalizations for your district and the state. Forty-two people died in falls in this district.
Motor vehicle accidents were the next most common cause of trauma hospitalization in the district with 325 people hospitalized and 90 people fatally injured in the district in 2009.
Traumatic injuries kill young people in the prime of their lives, impacting society as a whole in health costs, lost productivity and emotional distress. Many Hoosiers across this state have stories of how traumatic accidents took their loved ones.
This is one of the reasons we at the Indiana State Department of Health will host a Trauma Listening Tour in Fort Wayne at the Public Safety Academy, 7602 Patriot Crossing, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
Our goal is for you to learn more about trauma, learn how state and local agencies currently respond to trauma, learn how a trauma system could help the state, and, most importantly, gather personal stories of how trauma has affected those in our state.
Injury prevention campaigns have gone a long way to decrease trauma deaths, but more can be done.
Indiana is one of only nine states without an integrated statewide trauma system. Indiana has elements of a statewide trauma system, such as emergency medical services (EMS) providers, trauma centers and a trauma registry. We want to work with the public and our many stakeholders to advance the state to a formal trauma system.
Where trauma systems are in place, they save lives. When trauma patients are transported, by ground or by air, to trauma centers, the preventable-death rates drop by 15 to 30 percent. Trauma systems correctly identify patients who need trauma care, anticipate needed resources for trauma treatment, route patients to the correct facility and improve care through a quality-improvement process.
Please join us, along with our local partners, on Wednesday. Working together, we can reduce the number of deaths that impact Hoosier families each year.

"My car broke down. Do you expect me to walk?"
"No, Mr. Bond; I expect you to take the bus!"
There is no accounting for taste. Some have it, others do not. James Bond has taste. And I'm almost certain that he'd still have it even if he weren't a world class government agent who could seduce any woman while expertly driving the most decadent Aston Martins that money can't buy.
So, suppose for a minute that this world renowned symbol of all things class was an electrician from Burbank who, instead of being greeted by diabolical tones of "So glad you could drop by, Mr. Bond," was simply met by friendly shouts of "Hey, James!" What would this James Bond drive?
Leave the DBS in the garage, because we're going real-world style.
Jeep CJ7
This is the best fit for Sean Connery types, because of its vintage style and 4-wheel versatility that make it easy to get around in. The individual who drives an old CJ6 isn't afraid to get dirty, and he or she can still pull out a cigarette on the road without fear of ruining the interior for resale value (Connery Bonds still smoke). It also goes well with 60's style swim trunks and accents that are ripe for imitation.
Chevrolet Vega
Fans of the George Lazenby era Bond would love to get their hands on a Vega, probably because someone told them it would be a good car to have. It showed so much promise, but, despite its indescribable popularity within certain crowds, just isn't the kind of retro choice that ends up going well at all. All of which sets the perfect out of touch style that fans of Lazenby's Bond probably possess.
MINI Cooper Roadster
Anything but austere, Roger Moore types never take themselves too seriously, and neither does the MINI Roadster. Some may belittle MINI's attitude toward all things four wheeled, but you're attracted to the brand because of its promise of light-hearted fun and easy to get along with personality….and…style. The MINI Cooper Roadster is like the Moonraker of cars- complete with double-taking pigeons.
Jaguar XK8
Sometimes called the poor man's Aston Martin, Jaguar offered up a kind of retro vibe with its XK8, which is reminiscent of the refined seriousness that a Timothy Dalton type Bond would command. The XK8's legacy still lives on in the hearts and driveways of classy (but frugal) fans the world over.
Mazda RX8
Like Pierce Brosnan, the RX8 was a perfect fit for its time and still performs well when called upon. This is the type of car that could be family friendly enough at one moment, and then surprise you with its suave ferocity as soon as the kids are tucked away. A solid choice for the everyday Bond.
Ford Fusion Hybrid
Our newest Bond, Daniel Craig, is deadly serious about taking care of his body, as well as the environment. The Ford Fusion Hybrid driver knows that things can get a little dirty in the field (graphic designing is stressful) but that's no excuse for disregarding filthy MPGs. It has been said that the front end of the 2013 Fusion looks a little Aston-esque, and this impeccable style mixed with superior economy is all the modern day, everyday Bond needs to pull the trigger. Metaphorically speaking, of course. The regular Bond is afraid of firearms.
Does buying a new car scare the living daylights out of you? Come to CarWoo! and find the vehicle that's fit for your eyes only

"Staten Island Comedy Festival cracks up for a cause June 19-25″
by Rob Bailey, SILive.com
STATEN ISLAND, NY — Four years ago, "Soul" Joel Richardson gave birth to the grassroots laugh-in that's grown into the Staten Island Comedy Festival, featuring multiple national headliners at numerous venues.
Well, you've come a long way, baby.
Proof: In honor of the fourth-annual fest, Assemblyman Michael Cusick and borough council members have declared June 19-25 "Comedy Week on Staten Island."
"The proclamation is a great honor for me and Soul Joel Productions," says Richardson. "We have worked hard to make a successful event for Staten Island. I can't tell you how great it feels to be recognized for our efforts."
Sunday, June 19th – Saturday, June 25th
In August 2008, Soul Joel Productions hosted the 1st Annual Staten Island Comedy Festival that brought four nights of comedy to four different parts of the island. The first three nights brought laughter to Stapleton, Westerleigh, and Great Kills. The excitement grew as Staten Islanders anticipated Thursday night's Grande Finale at the historic 1,800-seat St. George Theatre. People from all over the Tri-State Area came out to enjoy the night of laughter and fun.
Soul Joel Productions (SJP) raised the bar for 2009. In late June, as schools neared conclusion, SJP offered six nights of entertainment to kick off the summer. Monday and Tuesday played host to the "Big Stage Competition" which saw ten online winners compete for two spots on The Grand Finale. The festival traveled to The Bistro in New Dorp on Wednesday for the exciting showcase of SJP talent as Yannis Pappas and Maddog Mattern hit the stage. On Thursday, SJP added a night of improv at the Muddy Cup as local talent spontaneously joked around with the crowd. Friday's show featured Last Comic Standing co-headliners Pete Dominick and Joe DeVito at the luxurious Lorenzo's Restaurant, Bar & Cabaret at the Hilton Garden Inn.
The 2nd Annual Staten Island Comedy Festival concluded the week of laughter with "The Grand Finale" at the Music Hall at Snug Harbor on Saturday, June 27th. The event began with the heartfelt musical talent of Paul Strayfer, continued with "Big Stage Competition" winners Bryan Berner and Nanci Richards, and ended with the hilarious jokes of Last Comic Standing Finalist Gary Gulman. The festival helped brand Staten Island as one of the newest hotbeds for comedy and had people buzzing about the island for months to come.
With comedy shows popping up all over the island, Soul Joel Productions looked to showcase this talent and exploit these fantastic venues in their 3rd Annual Staten Island Comedy Festival. SJP added one more night to make it a full week of action packed comedy.
The 2010 Staten Island Comedy Festival venues included some of the latest hotspots for comedy on the island. Each place had its own sense of humor and an atmosphere to play along with it.
Last year, Soul Joel Productions took to the road in search of rising stars to diversify the list of talent on the bill. Hosting comedy competitions in Philadelphia and Baltimore, SJP selected the best of the best from each city and featured them on the 4th Annual Staten Island Comedy Festival. In addition, SJP added a one of the most respected non-profit organizations on Staten Island as a beneficiary to the festival, Lifestyles for the Disabled (www.lfdsi.org), an organization that strives to provide the intellectually disabled with realistic work settings and experiences within the Staten Island community. The festival featured both new and old venues including The Staaten, Full Cup, Gusto Restaurant, The Veranda at Silver Lake Golf Course, Killmeyer's Old Bavarian Inn, and The Looney Bin Comedy Club.
Sunday, June 20th – Saturday, June 26th
