Fantastic hotel room that was comfortable for ALL of our family to stay in! It had 2 queen sized beds w/their own bathrooms/TVs, a pull out bed in the living area, a fireplace, a full size kitchen, & pretty area! Would stay here again, because it's so nice, & the breakfast was great too! Very friendly staff as well!

"Great Location and very good staff"
This was my wife and my second stay at this hotel. The location is great and the staff very friendly and helpful. The breakfast in the morning was always hot and well prepared. The room was clean and comfortable. Only minor concern is the décor and all is becoming dated and could use an updating and face lift. We will stay here again.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com

"Close to everything, yet quiet. Great breakfast!"
This property was conveniently located just off the strip in Branson, away from all the hustle and bustle and much quieter than being on the strip. It was also located in the middle of all the action so if you wanted to go to attractions on the east side, you just turned right. If you wanted to go west, just turn left. The rooms were large with a separate […] sitting area along with the kitchenette. The bathroom was also set up well with the sink and large granite countertop located outside the shower / toilet room. The breakfast was excellent including hot scrambled eggs, potatoes, biscuits and gravy, French toast and other items in addition to the cereals, breads, bagels and muffins. In other words, it was not just a continental breakfast; it was a fully loaded breakfast with plentiful choices! Oh, the bed was very comfortable with a pillow-top mattress.

"Centrally located -- restaurants other sights"

Also, the appliances in the room were operational and the kitchen area included cutlery, coffeemaker, dishes and cups.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Needs new mattresses"
Room was clean, very close to attractions. But the bed was ROCK hard, and the mattress on the sleeper sofa was threadbear with springs poking through. Had to request a rollaway bed. Fortunately, they didn't waived the $15 rollaway bed fee. Wouldn't stay there again unless all the beds are replaced. And at the end of the day, isn't sleep why you book […] a room?

"Great hotel!!"
My family has stayed at this hotel every time we go to Branson. We have stayed at other hotels close to the strip but this one is the best. I would highly recommend this hotel. It has a nice indoor pool, hot tub, clean rooms, great full breakfast, and friendly staff!Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Great staff, great hotel"
The hallways could use some sprucing up. One cabinet was missing a latch in the kitchen. Other than that the rooom was clean, the staff was lovely and helpful. The breakfast menu changed here and there which was great. The food was well prepared and tasty. The bananas were over-ripe, but it means this hotel does not waste. The location is great. I will […] stay there in the future. Loved it. The price was right, as well! Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Expedia
"Not bad but a little overpriced"
Stayed in a one bedroom suite. Not bad. Could be a little cleaner in some areas (toilet) but not bad otherwise. Heard quite a bit of walking/stomping upstairs at midnight. I suspect thin ceilings as opposed to noisy neighbors. We were placed in the basement so our 2 year old wouldn't "stomp around and make people call down to the front desk and complain." […] Thanks. Overall not bad but probably overpriced in my opinion. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Expedia
Tanggapan dari Residence Inn by Marriott Branson Thank you for your response Mark! We always appreciate knowing how our guests stays are, and what we can do to make it even better! I would like to apologize for the noise you experienced while you were here, and for the cleanliness. Usually we pride ourselves on a 100% cleanliness score for our hotel, I am sorry for the oversight. I hope you will stay with us again, and we could offer to put you up on a higher floor, to try to reduce the amount of noise, or you can always feel free to call the front desk with any noise issues, and we will do our best to fix the situation, either by talking with the other guests, or helping you to move to another room if that would be the best option. I sincerely hope we will get the chance to see you again, and get to impress you with our service & amenities, especially with the fact that our suites are about 50% larger than most hotel rooms, and do include a full kitchen, which brings the value up on our rooms significantly! Thank you again for taking the time to post your review. Happy travels!
""Good and Bad""
I think the hotel rooms are in need of an update. The toilet handle needed to be rattled from time to time or it kept running. The shower tub was very slow draining so, by the time you finished showering, you were standing in several inches of water. The free breakfast was good, but there is limited seating. We had to take our breakfast back up to our […] room because there was no place to sit. The pool was down because they were putting in new equipment. I think it was finally up and going the day before we checked out. My son wanted to work out, but the equipment room only had a treadmill and a bike. It is not the best , but far from the worse hotel I have ever stayed at. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Expedia

"Very good location for visiting Branson!"
This hotel appeared to be rather old. Musty smell in room 012 that the staff placed clothes dryer filters in the vents, that helped a little, but the vents needed cleaning and filters replaced. Musty smell never went away. Staff offered to change rooms but we were only going to be there five days and did not want to move all of our clothes, etc. Everyone […] was friendly, courteous, and willing to help with different items, and for this factor alone, I would recommend this hotel to another person(s).

"Beware of extra charges"
The room was not as clean as it should have been . The carpets were dirty and the room had a odor. After returning home we discovered that the hotal had billed us a $250.00 charge. I called and asked about this charge as I didn't know what it was for and was told we were charged a fee because we had smoked in the room, which we DID NOT do. We cooked […] in the room and the room had a cooking oder but not a cigarrette smoke odor. The management said that we were lying and that they had to clean the carpets and the drapes due to compaints. If the room had been cleaned properly the odor from cooking would have been gone. We are currently disputing this fee/charge. I was insulted and will not be staying at Residence Inn again. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Expedia

This place needs some attention.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
This hotel property was very disappointing. From the heavily chlorinated pool that was so strong that it burned our eyes, to the tiny/overworked solo elevator which reaked of cigarettes and wet dog-like smells, to the pathetic excuse for an evening meal which consisted of little more than cold pretzels to only crumbs of the nacho chips, to the cramped […] living space where trying to open the pull-out couch and an extra roll away was nearly impossible. What a disapointment was this Branson property! There are a lot of nicer, roomier, and cheaper hotels with in just a mile or so of this property. This is the second time we have been disappointed with Marriott Residence Inns in the past year - the second problem site being the one at Chesterfield, MO.

MIDHURST - The federal government is contributing $49,950 toward a travelling exhibit highlighting the events and impacts of the War of 1812 in Simcoe County.
The bilingual exhibit is being developed by the Simcoe County Museum.
The funding was announced by MP Kellie Leitch on behalf of Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages James Moore.
The exhibit will be circulated to a number of communities beginning in the fall and continuing until 2014.
More than 100,000 people are expected to view the exhibition over the three-year commemoration.
"This year marks the start of the five-year countdown to Canada's 150th birthday in 2017," said Moore. "Our government is proud to invest in projects that contribute to our collective identity and define who we are as Canadians. On the road to 2017, let us continue to celebrate all of the things that make Canada the united, prosperous, and free country we are today."
"Investing in this new travelling exhibit will help our citizens and visitors better appreciate our contribution to the outcome of the War of 1812," said Leitch. "People of Simcoe are proud of their heritage, and we are excited to be able to share it with others across Ontario and Canada."
"From vital locations, such as the Nottawasaga River, the Nine Mile Portage and Willow Creek, to those who put their lives on the line for our county, including Chief William Yellowhead and James Keating, the imprint left on the County of Simcoe by the War of 1812 stretches far and wide," said Cal Patterson, County of Simcoe warden. "We salute the Government of Canada for providing the Simcoe County Museum with funds to keep the memories alive."
The funding is provided through the Canadian Heritage's 1812 Commemoration Fund, which supports community-based projects to foster greater awareness and understanding of the importance of this conflict.
Visit 1812.gc.ca for more information about the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812.

A Painter needs only a paintbrush and a canvas; a musician needs only two turntables and a microphone! Yet to be a filmmaker it seems thousands of dollars are needed to make something that nobody is going to see anyway or to be an actor you must wait for someone else to give you exposure. If you're one of those people waiting around for financing to come through so you can make or star in Citizen Kane II that's cool, I'm not.

I promised a splurge this week and this is a yummy one, bursting with juicy sweet blueberries and studded with white chocolate chips - inside and out!
I think this delicious Blueberry and White Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake should probably be labeled as a dessert but then ........... it would't qualify for breakfast, would it? Actually, this Blueberry and White Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake is perfect for a lazy weekend breakfast or a brunch with friends. If there's any leftover, you'll definitely have requests for seconds - all through the day! And guess what? After twelve noon it's legal to call it dessert, so you've got that covered too!
White Chocolate & Blueberry Coffee Cake
Ingredients for cake:
½ cup butter, softened
¼ cup shortening, room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
¾ cup white chocolate chips, divided
Ingredients for topping:
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup oatmeal
¼ cup all purpose flour
½ cup chopped, toasted pecans
¼ cup butter, softened
1. Spray a springform pan with baking spray.
2. Make the topping by combining brown sugar, oats, flour and pecans. Mix in butter with a fork until crumbly. Set aside.
3. Beat the butter and shortening until creamy; gradually add sugar, beating well. Add eggs, one at a time beating until blended after each addition.
4. Combine 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt; add to butter mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat at low speed until blended after each addition. Stir in the vanilla, blueberries and 1/2 cup white chocolate chips. Pour batter into greased springform pan and sprinkle with topping.
5. Bake at 350˚F for 50-60 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup white chocolate chips. Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife between cake and pan to release cake; remove sides of pan and cool on a wire rack.

Sen. Elizabeth Dole to speak at Spring Commencement U.S. Senator Elizabeth Dole will deliver the commencement address on May 8. The Saturday, 10 a.m., Spring Commencement will be held outdoors on the old soccer field next to Lumbee Hall. Admission tickets are required. A limited number of tickets for faculty and staff will be available for this event. Tickets will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis (faculty - 1 ticket; staff - 2 tickets). To reserve your tickets please call Phyllis McGirt at ext. 6249. The reservation deadline is April 23. Tickets will be available April 30 and can be picked up at the Office of University and Community Relations in Room 421 of Lumbee Hall. More than 400 students will receive diplomas and Chancellor Meadors will preside. Sen. Dole, who grew up in Salisbury, N.C., graduated with distinction from Duke University and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. She earned a degree from Harvard Law School in 1965 and also holds a master's degree in education and government from Harvard. As Republican Senator representing North Carolina, Dole serves on the Senate Armed Services, Agriculture, Banking and Aging committees. Every year since 1996, the Gallup Poll has named her one of the top 10 most admired women in the world. Before winning election to the Senate in 2002, Sen. Dole had a remarkable public service career, serving five presidents. As Secretary of Transportation, Dole was the first woman to serve as the department head of a branch of the military, the U.S. Coast Guard. From 1969 to 1973, Dole served as deputy assistant to President Nixon for consumer affairs, beginning a career of dedication to public safety, for which she received the National Safety Council's Distinguished Service Award in 1989. She served six years (1973-1979) as a member of the Federal Trade Commission and two years (1981-1983) as assistant to President Reagan as public liaison. In February 1983, Dole joined President Reagan's Cabinet as Secretary of Transportation, the first woman to hold that position. She was sworn in by President Bush as the nation's 20th Secretary of Labor in January 1989. Dole left President Bush's Cabinet in 1991 to become the second woman since founder Clara Barton to serve as president of the American Red Cross. In January 1999, Dole concluded her service at the Red Cross and sought the Republican presidential nomination. In her campaign for president, Dole became the first viable woman candidate from a major political party. Sen. Dole's awards are numerous, ranging from honors for civic service and leadership in government to accolades for her charitable commitments and dedication to issues surrounding women in the workplace. She was named "North Carolinian of the Year" by the North Carolina Press Association in 1994. She has also received the Foreign Policy Association Medal and the Radcliffe College Medal for her outstanding accomplishments. Sen. Dole received the Christian Woman's Association award as Christian Woman of the Year. She was also honored by the League of Women Voters as the recipient of its Leadership Award in 1994. It is only the second time in University history that Commencement will be held outdoors, a move necessitated by the growing number of graduates. Grand Marshal for the ceremony will be Dr. Patricia Valenti (English), the 2004 recipient of the UNC Board of Governors Teaching Excellence Award. From left: Club President-elect Crystal Caton, a junior from Swansboro; Treasurer-elect Cheryl Joseph, a junior from Laurinburg; Tracy Hankins, and Secretary Tracy Hankins, a senior from Fayetteville; Chancellor Meadors; President Carla Jacobs, a senior from Lumberton; Rebecca Giddens, a senior from Fayetteville; Treasurer Crystal Luther, a senior from Fayetteville; and Advisor Sharon Bell. Accounting Students Association establishes book scholarship That was the case this spring when the Accounting Students Association established a scholarship to provide relief from high textbook prices. Officers of the undergraduate student club met March 24 with Chancellor Meadors to discuss the $500 book scholarship they funded. Textbooks are so expensive for us," said Tracey Hankins, club Vice President. "Last semester, I spent $800 on books." Club President Carla Jacobs said a book scholarship was the first item on the group's agenda during the 2003-4 school year. "When we were elected last spring, a scholarship was the first thing on our list," Jacobs said. "We planned the whole year around raising money, and we raised $3,000 altogether." Chancellor Meadors thanked the club members for its support of their fellow students. "Few things are more important in our society than philanthropy," Chancellor Meadors said. "The students in the Accounting Students Club have demonstrated their support of others by breaking down some of the financial barriers of earning a college education." Club Advisor Sharon Bell (Business) said it has been a good year for the Accounting Students Club. "This has been a very active group," Bell said of the 15-member club. "There were no book scholarships for accounting students before this group established one." Funds from the Accounting Students Association Book Scholarship will go to an accounting student who is in good academic standing at the University with demonstrated financial need. The $500 annual scholarship will be available at the campus Bookstore in amounts of $250 per semester. For information about this scholarship or other ways to give to UNCP, please contact the Office of Donor Relations at (910) 521-6213 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Biology Department adds Environmental Science major On this day, Dr. Leon Jernigan looked the part of the coordinator of the new environmental science program at The University of North Carolina at Pembroke. Tan and wearing camouflage pants, t-shirt and hiking boots, Dr. Jernigan (Biology) had just returned from a Biology Club community service outing to pickup roadside trash. He will help the Biology Department launch the new environmental science major in the fall 2004 semester. "I started working on this program almost the day I got here two years ago," Dr. Jernigan said. "The students seem to have a high degree of interest in the program, and I think it will be very popular." The new major in environmental science requires courses from the three
departments - biology, chemistry and math and computer science. Several
new courses will be added to the science curriculum as well. Dr. Jernigan, who has 14 years experience in environmental consulting, said the internship program is a unique requirement. "The internship is a great feature of the program," Dr. Jernigan said. "Students will have the opportunity to find out what their job future will be like with a private consulting firm or with a government agency." Internship opportunities will be available with private companies and with a variety of government agencies like the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the EPA, the Fish and Wildlife Service, or with private non-profits like the Sierra Club and the Audubon Society. Dr. Jernigan said there are some interesting electives available to environmental science majors. "Another interesting feature of the program is the elective, introduction to cartography, that the geography program offers," he said. "Students will learn mapping skills as well as practical skills, like using GPS (global positioning systems) and GIS (geographic imaging systems)." Some of the other electives include oceanography, weather and climate conservation biology and environmental geology. Ten biology courses, six chemistry courses and two math courses are required. "Our goal is to turn out a student who has the techniques and skills to enter the job market in an entry-level position or to go on to graduate school," Dr. Jernigan said. Biology Department Chair Andy Ash said the new program fills a critical need in the region. "We are very fortunate to have found someone with Dr. Jernigan's qualifications to coordinate the environmental program," Dr. Ash said. "There is a documented need for such a program, and it will represent a new dimension to the outreach role of the University in Southeastern North Carolina." Dr. Jernigan earned a master's degree in zoology and a Ph.D. in botany/applied ecology from NC State University. He taught part-time at UNCP for five years before joining the faculty on a full-time basis in 2003. This is the second new major announced this spring. A Spanish major was added to the Department of English, Languages and Theatre. Questions about the new major may be directed to Dr. Jernigan at (910) 521-6884 or to email@example.com. UNCP to offer a minor in gender studies Gender studies will be offered as a minor course of study beginning in fall 2004. The program requires 18-hours, including six hours of core courses and 12 hours of electives from disciplines, including sociology, criminal justice, social work, history, English, American Indian studies and nursing. Any student may elect the minor. Sociologist Dr. Leslie Hossfeld is the coordinator of the program and will teach a core course. "I am going to launch the core course – Gender and Society – in spring 2005," Dr. Hossfeld said. "When we talk about gender studies, we are not just talking about women. Examining the way masculinity and femininity are constructed is a major component." As an interdisciplinary program, starting a Gender Studies program required cooperation from across campus, Dr. Hossfeld said. "I am glad that gender studies has been institutionalized, and I am glad it's interdisciplinary," she said. "It was fairly easy to get everyone on board. My hope is that other departments will begin to offer courses that may be incorporated into the minor." "Gender studies provides an academic approach to thinking critically about the origin and meaning of gender identity and the impact of gender on our lives," Dr. Hossfeld said. Gender studies will look at family, health, historical, economic, social and cultural issues. A lecture by feminist scholar Margaret Anderson will be a highlight of the launch of UNCP's gender studies program. "Dr. Andersen is an internationally recognized feminist scholar, who has written many books on the intersections of race, class and gender," Dr. Hossfeld said. Dr. Hossfeld wrote a grant for a Feminist Lectureship Award of the Sociologists for Women in Society to host Dr. Andersen. The Department of Sociology, the Distinguished Speaker Series, the Office of Minority Affairs and the Teaching and Learning Center will co-sponsor the lecture. Dr. Hossfeld, who spent 10 years teaching in South Africa as Apartheid was breaking up, is a research sociologist whose primary field of study is poverty and inequality. She is currently working on a manufacturing "job loss" project in Robeson County that included a March 28, Washington, D.C., briefing for the Congressional Rural Caucus, that includes 7th District (Robeson) U.S. Representative Mike McIntyre. More than 50 students, faculty and staff participated in the Washington briefing. Dr. Hossfeld did her undergraduate work at UNC Wilmington, earned a master's degree in sociology from the University of Mississippi and a doctorate from NC State University. For more information on gender studies at UNCP, please email email@example.com or call (910) 521-6472. Grants office joins online database The Center for Sponsored Research and Programs subscribed to a new funding source database in addition to the Community of Science online database. The new subscription is to the Foundation Directory Online and promises to provide information about 350,000 grant programs throughout the U.S. The center also joined the National Council of University Research Administrators and the Society of Research Administrators International. Both organizations provide numerous resources, publications and networks that will benefit grant activity with faculty. WEB SITES OF INTEREST

Hi. I was just wondering if you guys plan to make this site secure. (This is my third time typing this thanks to baby hands)! I've have pictures stolen off my blog before, but was just wondering if you had this in your plans for the site! Thanks. Emily
Make the gallery private to members
Hi Emily. Can you explain a bit more what you mean by "secure"? Thanks!
I totally forgot about this! Sorry, I meant something along the lines, that people needed to be a part of the community to see the gallery. Thanks!
Thanks for the input, Emily. Making the gallery accessible to members only is something we would consider, based on user input, but I do have some reservations about the idea:
- It would inhibit people's ability to share layouts with people who aren't site members... you wouldn't be able to upload a layout and then send the link to family members to view it, for instance.
- It would be a decent bit of work to implement properly
That being said, we want Pixel Scrapper to serve the needs of its users, so if this is something that people would like to see, we are certainly open to considering it.
Have you run into other digital scrapbooking sites that have private galleries?
I haven't, and I would imagine it seem to be a lot of work on your end to implement. I was just curious about it. I have had issues in the past with posting photos that have been stolen, and then more recently, family members using photos that then got distributed without my consent. So, I'm aware that I don't need to post all the layouts I do with my kids and family and whatnot, or participate in the challenges, I have no concerns about Pixelscrapper, but it is just something I've had to deal with elsewhere.
Hi, Jordan... thought I'd jump into this one briefly (hope you don't mind). I know what Emily is suggesting does exist & is possible, I just don't know how you do it (not a programmer here) or I'd try to help you out.
For example, I have seen galleries (maybe not at the digiscrap websites) that offer password-protected private galleries for privacy reasons - like babiesonline.com, for instance. I have an account with them (set up an account for each of my sons @ babiesonline.com just before they were born), and there I was able to create a web page all about them & attach a photo gallery to it. The public can see their main page, but are unable to view their private gallery unless they type in a special password which I've personally provided them with (which is completely different than your account login password). Photobucket also offers the same type of thing - I have an account there, too. I've been storing holiday photos of my family there, so family/friends that don't live nearby can see them, and they are only able to access the photos via a special password I give them (it's a "guest" password for viewing only).
Scraps and pieces gallery is private. And I honestly prefer this one, because I often lose the good layouts I see there. I like to pin the layouts from this gallery that I really like on Pinterest, and I guess if it was private either I couldn´t pin them, or, as happens on the other gallery I mentioned, the pinned url would direct to the main page istead of the page where it´s posted, which I also don´t like, because it difficults credits identification.
If I had concerns with the privacy of one of my photos (for example if I made a layout showing the front of my house, or with someone´s kids), i´d blur parts of it, or even substitute it for a public domain picture for the reasons of posting online. I also saw people that post the layouts without the photo, but I don´t think it´s the best solution.
@ Lorien: I agree with your assessment. We post our layouts for recognition and pride, if the gallery is deemed 'private' to members only that seems to defeat the purpose of what a gallery is for. Blurred features seems the best choice I have seen in galleries.
If I have a photo that I do not want shared or contains others children (like the layouts I do for my husbands class, I do not want to post layouts of his students on the internet) I either blur out their faces or I have put a blank box (colored to match my layout) in place of the photo. If I do the blank box then in my credits I will put why there is a blank box.
perhaps we could have an option to make layouts private or public?

More than 160 adventurous people caught fish and a good time at John Pato Sr's third-annual Ice Fishing Derby at Lake Davis on Saturday, Feb. 2.
The derby required the competitors to brave the frozen lake in hopes of catching the lake's largest trout.
All of the proceeds from the tournament go to the American Cancer Society. Pato said his middle son and mother both suffered from cancer.
"Its one of those things that affects everybody," he said, "It really is a good cause."
Pato said he started the tournament when he made a comment to his friends about how he could probably put on a pretty decent ice-fishing derby.
"It was kind of a dare," Pato said.
With people coming from as far as San Diego and Santa Cruz to fish for a trophy, "a pretty decent ice fishing derby" is an understatement.
The tournament winners were judged based on length and weight of the best fish they caught. Each competitor was allowed to catch five fish, but only could present two at the weighing station.
There was a $200 prize and trophy for the winner, a $125 prize and trophy for second place, and $75 and a trophy for third.
But, even if competitors did not win the competition, chances were they'd still be leaving with a prize. The community, including big-name stores like Cabelas and Sportsman's Warehouse, donated more than a hundred prizes to the tournament.
The masses of people out on the 11 inches of ice were all in good spirits despite the cold. The competition was tough, but the winners ended up all being local.
First place was awarded to Paul Salas from Loyalton with his 23-inch fish. Second place went to William Cary from Portola with a 21.3-inch fish, and third place went to young Trenton Mlakar from Portola with his 21.2-inch fish.
Pato said he was very pleased with the turn out, especially the business it brought to the community and hotels in the area. He said he couldn't have done it without the donations and support from the community.

Updated: Friday, April 6 2012, 04:49 PM CDT
At the Austin Police Department Headquarters Friday afternoon, flags were flying at half staff as the force remembers one of their own; 41-year-old Senior Officer Jaime Padron. He is memorialized as one of the finest to wear the uniform.
"He was outstanding cop. And it always seems--we're not perfect--but it always seems when we lose an officer it's the best of the best. When the call goes out they do not hesitate they don't hesitate to get there. I can tell you through my experiences with him we lost a really good solid human being today and it's a loss for the city," announced Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo at an early morning news conference outside the North Austin Wal-Mart where Padron was shot to death at point blank range hours earlier while responding to a drunk and disorderly person call at the store.
Officer Padron is survived by his parents and two daughters, ages 6 and 10.
"They are not alone. The Austin Police Department our first response community and most importantly our city and our community will stand with this family and we will make sure those two little girls who just lost their father tonight through no fault of his own are raised the way they need to be raised that their needs are met," assures Chief Acevedo.
We have a special section with detailed information about Officer Padron, the shooting and a list of all the Austin officers who have died in the line of duty. weareaustin.com/news/features/police-shooting

Collin College Awarded $4.4 Million Grant for Convergence Technology
Sept. 11, 2012 – The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $4.4 million grant to the National Convergence Technology Center at Collin College.
This grant, which expands on the work of the Regional NSF Convergence Technology Center based at Collin College since 2004, extends through July 2016 and is the fifth Advanced Technological Education grant awarded to Collin College since 1999.
Convergence technology supports end-to-end communication via public and private networks, supporting voice, data and video traffic in a secure manner.
"In 2004, Collin College predicted the growing workforce demand in convergence technology, having created programs to address this need," Mac Hendricks, chair of the Collin College Board of Trustees, said. "With the explosive growth in the use of the Internet and various cloud-based Internet services, the need for convergence technicians continues to increase, and the Board is pleased to see the college expand its leadership to a national level."
The National Convergence Technology Center is a partnership between Collin College and seven colleges and universities including El Centro College, the University of North Texas, Florida State College, Jacksonville, Fla., Fox Valley Technical College, Appleton, Wis., Lansing Community College, Lansing, Mich., Orange Coast College, Costa Mesa, Calif., and Georgia Southern University, Statesboro, Ga.
"Receiving this $4.4 million grant allows Collin College to continue to meet the growing workforce needs in convergence technology workers and further establishes the college nationally as a leading voice in this industry," District President Cary Israel said. "At Collin College, we recognize that convergence technology will continue to play an important role in shaping this country's long-term economic growth and quality of life. Through partnerships with major regional businesses, Collin College was the first college to establish a Convergence Technology Center to address the emerging need."
Together, Collin College and its partners will collaborate to develop program improvements to meet workforce needs by equipping faculty to teach emerging technologies demanded by the workforce; furnish technology-enabled instructional support systems to assist colleges in launching convergence programs; increase the number of completers with certificates and degrees ready to meet workforce needs; and build capacity by mentoring colleges nationwide in implementing new programs in convergence technology.
Collin College serves about 53,000 credit and continuing education students annually and offers more than 100 degree and certificate programs. The only public college in the county, Collin College is a partner to business, government and industry, providing customized training and work force development.

Feds to use fire to battle Medusahead
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ore. -- Officials with the Bureau of Land Management will soon start prescribed burns.
This year, they're targeting the North Bank Habitat area.
The goal is to get rid of Medusahead, a spiky plant that is not indigenous to the county.
The pointy stalks make it inedible for deer, but it's taking over their grazing areas.
So, in order to help local habitats flourish, BLM officials are putting the plant to the torch.
Krisann Kosel is a BLM Fire Ecologist, and says now is the time to start the process.
"The best time to burn it is in the Spring, before the seeds have fully developed," she said. "That way we can catch it before they'll actually germinate."
Weather conditions have to be just right before officials can start the burn, so Kosel says they could start as early as Wednesday or as late as July 3.
The first area is about 60 acres, and the second prescribed burn is scheduled to clear about 110 acres.

CRITICALLY WOUNDED: Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords survived a point blank gunshot to the head on Saturday

People rarely survive gunshot wounds to the head, but so far Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, shot point-blank in the back of her head on Saturday, has held on. Monday morning her doctors indicated they were "slightly more optimistic" about her prognosis. In the wake of this brutal tragedy it is worth recognizing the series of highly fortunate events that led to Giffords's continued survival.
The most important predictors for how well a victim will recover from a gunshot wound to the head are the type of bullet and its travel path once inside the brain, and Giffords was fortunate on both counts, says Keith Black, chairman and professor of neurosurgery at Cedars–Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The bullet, reportedly fired from a Glock 19 9-millimeter, semiautomatic handgun, entered the left side of the back of her head and traveled through her brain, exiting through her forehead. This "through and through" path indicates that the bullet was probably not of the variety designed to expand or break into smaller fragments once inside the body, which would have caused a much severer injury. Further, the wound would have been much more damaging had the bullet ricocheted off the inside of her skull or if it had remained lodged in her brain matter where it could "migrate around" and cause additional harm, Black says.
As the projectile traveled forward, it remained in her brain's left hemisphere, avoiding crossing through the middle to the other side, which, according to Black, could have caused catastrophic injury. The bullet's trajectory was also high enough to apparently avoid certain crucial left-hemisphere structures, including areas responsible for language processing—a notion reinforced by reports that Giffords has been responsive to commands.
Immediately following the injury, it was not only the quality but also the speed of the care Giffords received that probably saved her life. "As we say in neurosurgery," Black says, "time is brain." Crucially, one of Giffords's aides positioned her so that blood did not impede her breathing. Subsequent transport to the level 1 trauma center at the University of Arizona's University Medical Center in Tucson, and the care given once she arrived, was very rapid. Reportedly, only 38 minutes transpired between the time she was injured and when she entered surgery.
That the facility was fully equipped to handle such an traumatic injury was key. "It was very important that there was no delay," once she arrived at the hospital, Black says, adding, "If she would have had to be transferred to another facility, her prognosis probably would not have been as good"—a fact, he notes, that speaks to the need for more level 1 centers across the country.
Once in surgery, neurosurgeons removed bone fragments, worked to stop the bleeding, and then performed an operation called a decompressive hemicraniotomy. The procedure, which has become popular in the past decade or so, especially in the context of battlefield brain injuries, entails the removal of a portion of the skull to allow room for the brain to swell. Brain swelling creates increased pressure inside the cranium, and if part of the bone is not removed the pressure disrupts a vital differential between blood pressure and the pressure in the brain. When it comes to swelling, Black explains, "minutes count," and the fact that the pressure in her brain was relieved so quickly is essential to her relatively positive prognosis.

Mission MCLB: Family Day at Parris Island
The day before graduation new marines march in formation to greet their families to show off a person who has transformed from a civilian into a marine.
Once the 'Family Day' ceremony was complete, Lisa Davis of Leesburg says she immediately searched for her son. "We struggled there for a few moments to find him, then when you know he faces me, you know it's that moment you just.....I can't explain it" says Davis.
While some new marines shook classmates' hands, others received big hugs from family members, and some even shed a few tears. Private Payne Davis and all of the new marines had one word to explain the anticipation of being reunited with their families after only being allowed hand written letters as communication. "I was overwhelmed knowing that I was going to be able to see people that I hadn't seen in 3 months, people that I missed" says Davis.
Payne says he immediately updated his family on what boot camp was like and how his experience was mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual. "I was not very spiritual before I came here, but after seeing how much danger I could possibly be in the near future whether it be in Afghanistan or some other war zone, I actually found myself going over to the recruit chapel every single Sunday. For me that's very big" says Davis.
Another big moment for the Davis family was for Private Payne's father Robert Davis...because he's a retired marine who has looked forward to this day for years. "It's more than a dream come true to be able to see your son that has aspired to become a marine since his childhood… to finally see this day. And to see him go through it was just priceless" says Davis.
With other relatives in the armed services as inspiration, Davis sees his new Marine Corps family as a lifelong connection and career. "After seeing what life in the Marine Corps can offer me I think I would probably want to go more than 20 years. It's really exciting and I want to try to stay in as long as possible" says Payne Davis.

We find ourselves close to Christmas again, the time of year signifying an end and a beginning. An end to a year that culminates with this celebration of Christmas, and a look ahead to the new year full of promise and possibilities. However, it feels like we just got up from the Thanksgiving table, with the holiday so much later in November this year. With this shorter time period between the two holidays, time is even more precious than usual, and fulfilling obligations to work, family, friends and community are more difficult, often causing more stress.
My parents, like millions of Americans, got up early to seek out some "Black Friday" deals. For the most part, people were able to get away from the stores unscathed. But not everyone did. Maybe it's just because we live in a world with 24-hour news stations and social media outlets that allow anyone anywhere to report what is happening around them, but stories about violence between holiday shoppers seem to be a regular part of post-Thanksgiving reports.
Buy local. I think we have all heard of, and are aware of, the movement that is taking place all over the U.S. People are developing a strong interest in supporting small local businesses that bring an individual spin on the retail experience and are tailored to their region. With Christmas ahead, many of you will be hosting many festivities and family dinners. I hope you will take advantage of the many products and services Kentucky owned businesses offer throughout the region and state, when planning for your events.
Our schools may still have a couple of weeks left before Christmas break and the end of the fall semester, but some of the latest "report cards" on Kentucky's academic progress have already arrived. Perhaps the most well known of those came in early November, when the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) gave its latest breakdown of our fourth and eighth grade scores in reading and math.
What do you like about yourself? Have you ever asked yourself that question? It's not a question we ask ourselves very often, if ever. Usually, we focus on the things we don't like, especially us girls. In fact, most of the time we are so focused on the things we don't like that we lose sight of our positive qualities. And, believe it or not, we all have positive attributes.

WOKING, England (AP) — Formula One world champion Jenson Button expects a big improvement at next week's Melbourne Grand Prix following his McLaren debut.
The Briton opened the season with seventh place in Bahrain last Sunday. He finished four places behind teammate Lewis Hamilton and was more than 6 seconds slower than race winner Fernando Alonso for Ferrari.
Button says that he "will feel more comfortable within the car when we arrive in Melbourne."
Button and Hamilton agree the Australian circuit will suit their cars better than the remodeled Bahrain track.
Speaking on Thursday at the launch of a range of commercial McLaren sports cars, Hamilton said the drivers "drilled into the engineers that we dissect everything."

STD supports at least 21 languages.
282 characters
Catalog number: 16731723
Tag: aalt
Function: This feature makes all variations of a selected character accessible. This serves several purposes: An application may not support the feature by which the desired glyph would normally be accessed; the user may need a glyph outside the context supported by the normal substitution, or the user may not know what feature produces the desired glyph. Since many-to-one substitutions are not covered, ligatures would not appear in this table unless they were variant forms of another ligature. A user inputs the P in Poetica, and is presented with a choice of the four standard capital forms, the eight swash capital forms, the initial capital form and the small capital form.
Tag: frac
Function: Replaces figures separated by a slash with 'common' (diagonal) fractions. The user enters 3/4 in a recipe and gets the threequarters fraction.
Tag: liga
Function: Replaces a sequence of glyphs with a single glyph which is preferred for typographic purposes. This feature covers the ligatures which the designer/manufacturer judges should be used in normal conditions. The glyph for ffl replaces the sequence of glyphs f f l.
Tag: sinf
Function: Replaces lining or oldstyle figures with inferior figures (smaller glyphs which sit lower than the standard baseline, primarily for chemical or mathematical notation). May also replace lowercase characters with alphabetic inferiors. The application can use this feature to automatically access the inferior figures (more legible than scaled figures).
Tag: sups
Function: Replaces lining or oldstyle figures with superior figures (primarily for footnote indication), and replaces lowercase letters with superior letters (primarily for abbreviated French titles). The application can use this feature to automatically access the superior figures (more legible than scaled figures) for footnotes, or the user can apply it to Mssr to get the classic form.
Tag: subs
Function: The "subs" feature may replace a default glyph with a subscript glyph, or it may combine a glyph substitution with positioning adjustments for proper placement. Recommended implementation: First, a single or contextual substitution lookup implements the subscript glyph (GSUB lookup type 1). Then, if the glyph needs repositioning, an application may apply a single adjustment, pair adjustment, or contextual adjustment positioning lookup to modify its position.
