The Space Coast's only international airport: Melbourne International Airport (MLB) is located on Florida's Space Coast, in southern Brevard County.
Self-sustaining: Established in 1929, the airport is funded entirely through airline fees, tenant leases and federal, state and local grants and receives no direct tax dollars.
Major economic engine: MLB generates more than $1.1 billion annually in economic activity. With more than 6,000 people currently working daily at the airport, MLB ranks as one of Brevard County's top employment centers. Recent additions to the tenant family will add nearly 900 new, high-paying jobs at the airport.
Ideal location for visitors: MLB is the perfect starting point for a vacation. The airport is just 25 miles from Port Canaveral, one of the country's largest cruise ports; 74 miles from Orlando's world-famous theme parks; 48 miles from historic Kennedy Space Center; and a short drive to miles of white sandy beaches
Ideal location for business: A growing number of businesses have discovered the benefits of expanding or relocating to Melbourne International Airport. Its rapidly growing aviation-manufacturing-and-maintenance cluster has made it one of the major centers of aviation commerce in the United States.
Access to major cruise port: MLB is just minutes from Port Canaveral, the world's second-busiest cruise port. The airport serves as the southern hub for Foreign Trade Zone 136, headquartered at the port.
Legacy airlines and charters: The airport's 200,000-square-foot main terminal serves legacy carriers Delta Air Lines, American Airlines and Baer Air.
Orlando Melbourne International Airport: In an increasingly Internet-driven world, marketing and branding are closely tied to search-engine optimization, click throughs and unique website visits. That's one of the key reasons behind marketing our airport throughout Europe as Orlando Melbourne International. Whether you know us as Melbourne International or Orlando Melbourne International, one thing is certain: We're the same world-class, family friendly airport.
Can handle 2 million annually: The passenger terminal has eight gates and seven jetways and can accommodate 2 million travelers annually. The number of passengers traveling in 2013 via MLB was 443,717. That number is projected to increase in 2014 with additional routes and larger aircraft expected in the coming months.
Three runways: MLB has three runways, including its main runway, 9R/27L, which is 10,181 feet long. The main runway and associated taxiways and ramps can accommodate general-aviation, commercial aircraft as large as a Boeing 747 or L-1011 and cargo aircraft as large as a C-5, C-17, Antonov 124 or Antonov 225.
Certified Police Department: MLB has its own Police Department, led by Public Safety Director Michael Brewer, and staffed by full-time Florida Certified Law Enforcement Officers.
Aircraft-manufacturing-and-maintenance cluster: Three aircraft manufacturers operate at MLB, including Embraer, the world's largest maker of jet aircraft that carry up to 120 passengers. Two major aviation-maintenance-and-repair-operations, AAR CORP and MidAirUSA, will be joining the airport's tenant family soon.
Former Navy Air Station and POW Camp: More than 2,000 U.S. Navy and Marine pilots were trained at the airport when it served as Naval Air Station Melbourne during World War II. NAS Melbourne also was home to more than 250 German POWs, who worked mostly at the station's laundry and mess hall.
Major employment hub: Melbourne International tenants range from small but nationally respected shops, such as Southeast Aerospace, to corporate giants, such as Harris Corp., which employs nearly 6,400 people at the airport and throughout the county.
Harris Corp. world headquarters: One of the Business and Industrial Park's early tenants was Radiation Inc., which was formed by two Melbourne businessmen in 1950 and manufactured advanced electronics for military communications and weather satellites as well as missile systems. Radiation was acquired by Harris Corp. in 1967 and became the foundation for Harris' Government Systems and Semiconductor businesses. Harris Corp. moved its world headquarters to MLB in the late '70s.

ALBANY -- With early voting now over for the 2012 Presidential Preference Primary, elections, officials say that more than 700 people voted early in-person while another 300 requested absentee ballots to be mailed out.
This year, voters had 21 total days of early voting, including the first-ever statewide Saturday voting, to cast ballots for their preference in the presidential primaries.
Voting is now closed until Tuesday when all precincts around the county will open at 7 a.m., elections officials say.
The elections office downtown, where early voting was held, will be open for business but will not be a voting site Tuesday. No voting will be conducted today.
Heading into "Super Tuesday," the day in which 10 states will decide which presidential contenders get their delegates, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has a lead over former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania.
After wins in Wyoming, Arizona and his home state of Michigan, Romney leads the GOP field with 182 delegates.
Santorum is second with 79 delegates, followed by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia at 39. Rounding out the list of viable GOP contenders is U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, who has 38 delegates.
President Obama has no opposition and is the only name that will appear on Democratic ballots in Georgia on Tuesday.
In order to win the Republican presidential nomination, a candidate must get the nod from 1,144 delegates.
In all, the 10 Super Tuesday states will have 437 GOP delegates up for grabs. Nearly half of those -- 200 delegates -- will come from the three biggest states involved in Tuesday's voting -- Georgia (76), Ohio (66) and Tennessee (58).
The Georgia Secretary of State's Office reported Friday that more than 140,000 ballots had been cast early statewide in Georgia. Of those, 116,800 were cast in person and 24,246 were mail-out ballots that were requested.
The state is particularly important to Gingrich, who once represented its 6th Congressional District. He has said that Georgia's delegates are crucial to the future of his campaign, but stopped short of saying a loss here would force him out of the contest.

Obama fans want NEWT to win....LETS GO NEWT!!! LETS GO NEWT!!! .....
LuLu 3 years, 7 months ago
Coach, can I ask -- What exactly is it about Obama that you like? What has he done that makes you want to give him another four years? I'd really like to know. I mean.. would you go out and campaign for him? What would you say to doubters to convince them to vote for him?
Somebody 3 years, 7 months ago
What exactly does coach like about Obama? He's Black! Nothing more than that Obama is Black.
LuLu 3 years, 7 months ago
No. I'm sure that's not it. Anyone with half a brain knows you don't give someone your one precious vote just because of his or her personal appearance. Maybe sixth grade homecoming queen or something like that, but not adult Americans who are selecting the best possible person to lead our country! Surely coach has real, adult reasons for supporting him. Like his record, for instance. Or his ideology. But as one of the very few Obama supporters I've talked with, I'm interested to know exactly why coach would give him his vote. If coach owned, say, a billion-dollar corporation, wouldn't he hire the very best person he could find to run it for him? He wouldn't hire just any old body to run his empire just because he was black, or tall, or had nice hair, or something silly like that. Coach? Convince me to vote for him, please!
VSU 3 years, 7 months ago
I dis-agree! There were people that voted for Obama last time who didn't know anything about him, other than that he was black. One joker thought Sarah Palin was Obama's running mate.
LuLu 3 years, 7 months ago
Psst -- I was being sarcastic. Guess I should have put a ; )
VSU 3 years, 7 months ago
Oh ,Okay! :)
coachjohnson42 3 years, 7 months ago
okay smarty pants.......chew on these reasons why a normal person would vote for OBAMA...... 11. Limits on White House aides working for lobbyists after their tenure in the administration 12. Ended the previous stop-loss policy that kept soldiers in Iraq/Afghanistan longer than their enlistment date 13. Phasing out the expensive F-22 war plane and other outdated weapons systems, which weren't even used or needed in Iraq/Afghanistan 14. Removed restrictions on embryonic stem-cell research 15. Federal support for stem-cell and new biomedical research 16. New federal funding for science and research labs 17. States are permitted to enact federal fuel efficiency standards above federal standards 18. Increased infrastructure spending (roads, bridges, power plants) after years of neglect 19. Funds for high-speed, broadband Internet access to K-12 schools 20. New funds for school construction 21 The prison at Guantanamo Bay is being phased out 22. US Auto industry rescue plan 23. Housing rescue plan 24. $789 billion economic stimulus plan
coachjohnson42 3 years, 7 months ago
Here's 9 reasons ....chew on these for a while...
- Ordered all federal agencies to undertake a study and make recommendations for ways to cut spending
- Ordered a review of all federal operations to identify and cut wasteful spending and practices
- Instituted enforcement for equal pay for women
- Beginning the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq
- Families of fallen soldiers have expenses covered to be on hand when the body arrives at Dover AFB 6 Ended media blackout on war casualties; reporting full information
- Ended media blackout on covering the return of fallen soldiers to Dover AFB; the media is now permitted to do so pending adherence to respectful rules and approval of fallen soldier's family
- The White House and federal government are respecting the Freedom of Information Act
- Instructed all federal agencies to promote openness and transparency as much as possible
- Limits on lobbyist's access to the White House

Thanks Coach, Now I know not to vote for Newt!
Sister_Ruby 3 years, 7 months ago
Newt would rip His Royal Majesty a new one in a debate. His Royal Majesty would not know whether to spit or howl at the moon after about 20 minutes.
dingleberry 3 years, 7 months ago
Can you imagine a Newt/Obama debate--with no teleprompters? But back to early voting. I surely hope we aren't putting a lot of money into such efforts. I don't see the payoff, particularly for the Saturday effort.
coachjohnson42 3 years, 7 months ago
Newt would not stand a chance....McCain would eat Newt up.....thats why he didnt even run in 08'.....Obama ate McCain alive.....no contest......So, Newt can forget it.....
VSU 3 years, 7 months ago
A vote for Obama is a vote for anti America. Any person who trully loves this country would not vote for Obuma.
LuLu 3 years, 7 months ago
Coach seems to have disappeared.
coachjohnson42 3 years, 7 months ago
I'm right here moma
coachjohnson42 3 years, 7 months ago
You guys must not have read all the million accomplishments of Obama I posted on a older post...I hate to re-post.....but I will if it will help you understand why our President is doing a great job considering his opposition and their efforts to stop him......

Politics does indeed make for strange bedfellows.
On the heels of yesterday's first hearing on House Bill 2800, the proposal to provide Oregon's $450 million down-payment to the proposed $3.5 billion Columbia River Crossing project, several groups who normally would not agree to be in the same zip code are coming together to oppose the project.
The new group calls itself "Stop the CRC: A Bipartisan Coalition for a Responsible Solution."
From the left, the umbrella group Coalition for a Livable Future, whose members include more than 100 environmental, labor and social services organizations and the Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods, are joining a conservative groups, including the Oregon Taxpayer Association, Americans for Prosperity-Oregon and the Cascade Policy Institute.
Portland economist Joe Cortright, whose criticism of many of the assumptions and projections that project sponsors made about traffic and tolling revenue has proven prescient, will provide technical advice to the coalition.
Groups on the left don't like the CRC, they say, because it is a 1950s-style freeway project that will harm the environment without solving congestion problems. Groups on the right object to the CRC's massive cost and shaky financial assumptions.
Here's a statement from the new group:
Members of this coalition, called âStop the CRC: A Bipartisan Coalition For a Responsible Solution,â share a broad set of concerns about the current plan for the Columbia River Crossing including, but not limited to: ⢠The Oregon legislature is essentially being asked to authorize a blank check for the funding. ⢠The construction and financing of the CRC will impact the ability to maintain existing roads and bridges throughout Oregon. ⢠The proposal is based on outdated and incorrect information. ⢠The CRC will worsen traffic gridlock in other parts of Portland and in residential neighborhoods. "It is the aim of all members of this coalition to persuade Oregon's 2013 Legislature not to appropriate further funding for this project," said coalition spokespersons Mara Gross and Lindsay Berschauer. "Instead, we encourage legislators to take a step back and engage Oregonians broadly in an effort to develop a more responsible solution that Oregon can afford."

It used be that most people who took advantage of vouchers, deals and discounts were living on a shoestring. Today, it's simply a sign of a savvy shopper, whatever their income. This recession has seen the rise of the deal-seeking affluent, and brands that have not traditionally catered to an affluent audience should be doing all they can to appeal to this new breed of discount shopper. By luring in these consumers now and offering them a good experience, brands may well retain their custom beyond the recession.
One example from the U.K., which I highlight in our Balancing Health, Wellness and Budgets presentation (download in the Trends and Research page), is discount supermarket chain Aldi, which swiftly added luxury items such as whole Canadian lobster (£5.99) and premium caviar (£1.69) in response to an influx of high-income customers. One trend forecaster has labeled these shoppers "the Aldirati," while some call them NFAs (no-frills affluents), as an article in the Times of London points out. A recent Aldi campaign hit the nail on the head with the tagline: "Don't change your lifestyle, change your supermarket."

"In examining the relationship between the Oncotype DX Recurrence Score and Adjuvant Online, we found that both tools have value in providing crucial information on the likelihood of breast cancer recurrence," said Peter Ravdin, M.D., Ph.D., the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center physician who developed the Adjuvant Online tool and a co-author of the study. "Specifically, the addition of Oncotype DX Recurrence Score results yielded supplementary insight on outcomes for breast cancer patients. Used together, we have the opportunity to more effectively guide personal treatment decisions based on a woman's individual breast cancer."
About Oncotype DX(R)
Oncotype DX is the first diagnostic multi-gene expression test
commercially available that has clinical evidence validating its ability to
predict the likelihood of breast cancer recurrence, the likelihood of
breast cancer survival and the likelihood of chemotherapy benefit. Oncotype
DX has been extensively evaluated in multiple independent studies involving
more than 3,300 breast cancer patients, including a large validation study
published in The New England Journal of Medicine and a chemotherapy benefit
study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. To date, nearly 7,000
physicians have ordered more than 40,000 tests, and health plans covering
over 50 percent of U.S. insured lives provide reimbursement for Oncotype DX
through contracts, agreements and policy decisions. The American Society of
Clinical Oncologists (ASCO) recommends the use of Oncotype DX for patients
with node-negative breast cancer that is estrogen-receptor positive and/or
progesterone-receptor positive. For more information about Oncotype DX,

* Prices may differ from that shown
I'm far too shaky and I really don't have a steady hand when taking photos and so a tripod is a must for me when capturing photos both at home and on holiday, well if I want them to be any good it is! My husband managed to break my mini tripod a few months ago, he snapped the head of it completely off. I decided to just buy a cheap replacement temporarily, in the hopes of him then buying me an expensive Joby Gorrillapod tripod whilst we were on holiday. Well he did break my existing tripod, so I reckon he should be the one to buy me the (expensive - hehe!) replacement!
The replacement tripod I bought was this Konig Mini Table Top Tripod, for no other reason than they were on offer in our local camera shop, they had a display of them near the till point, and they were priced at just £2.99. The Konig Mini Tripod is the perfect size to use with a compact camera, it's really small and very lightweight and it's a really convenient size to easily fit into a handbag. I normally always take my mini tripod out with me, and this one has been no exception. I can easily fit this into all of my handbags along with my camera, I really only struggle in a small clutch bag when I'm limited for space anyway, and I'd much rather take my lip gloss out with me than a mini tripod! If I have a larger clutch bag though that will fit a bit more in then I will always pop this in as it's handy to have to take group self portrait shots.
This is a sleek and stylish looking little tripod, and it's silver in colour, it's made of metal so it's a sturdy little tripod, it's not cheap and nasty and plastic. It has the screw thread (I'm sure that's not the proper technical term for this!) on the top of the tripod which you screw into the little hole on the bottom of your camera. It seems to fit most compact cameras, it fits both mine and my husbands which are both Panasonic Lumix's but both different models, and I've had friends use it with different makes of compact cameras on nights out and it has fitted every single one. It is only suitable for compact cameras, it won't support the weight of a DLSR.
So after you've screwed your camera onto the tripod then you would then open the tripod legs and position the tripod on a table or a flat surface to get your shot. The little tripod legs are easily adjustable and the tripod will go from a minimum height of 10cm to a maximum height of 15cm, each tripod leg is independently adjustable so that if you have the tripod positioned on an uneven surface then you can adjust the legs accordingly to get it level. The little tripod legs have sturdy rubber feet on the ends so that it won't slip or slide on the surface you have positioned it on.
The tilting ball head that you have your camera screwed onto rotates and is fully adjustable to take shots at a wide range of angles. When you have your camera in the desired position then you just twist the little knob at the side of the rotating ball head to lock the ball head into position. Your camera is safe and secure on the tripod, all you need to do then is just shoot your picture!
Now I'm not going to lie and say that using a tripod suddenly turns me into David Bailey, it doesn't. But it certainly helps me to take clearer, crisper photos, as obviously it takes away 'the shakes' factor as I'm not always trying to hold and keep the camera still anymore. It basically creates 'a steady hand' for me to take the shots. It works especially well for taking shots with the self timer feature, group shots, self portraits, time delay pictures etc. It's quick and easy to use and to adjust, and it's very handy to have and use on the go, it's great for holidays, nights out etc.
Although I am no David Bailey when it comes to photography, I believed that with modern, easy to use point and shoot, digital cameras there is no reason why amateurs like me, should not be able to produce some reasonably good photographs. So point and shoot I did and with a modicum of success.
That is until I tried to photograph close ups or zoom in on subjects. I remember my first real failure; it was of a fledgling blue tit hopping along on the ground, before resting; its mother, perched on a nearby clothesline, chirping motherly instructions. A close up of this little bird should have made a stunning photograph; the bird had not moved. I aimed the camera, zoomed in on the little bird, held my breath and took the photo.
However, it seems that holding my breath was not enough; the picture was slightly blurred due, I was certain, to camera shake. The moment had gone, and mum's warning of danger alerted the chick of my presence and off it hopped, to hide behind a bucket. All I was left with was a fuzzy picture of a blue-tit and a feeling of disappointment.
When I purchased my first digital camera it did not have, or as is more likely I was unaware of, an anti-shake mode. At about that time I spotted a mini tripod in Tesco or Lidls I am not sure where, but both have sold mini tripods.
It was inexpensive, again I cannot remember how much, but they are available today on Amazon for as little as £3.50 post-free.
This was ideal, for it held the camera steady and eliminated camera -shake when I photographed items at ground level, and meant that I did not have to suffer the indignity of lying on the ground and using my elbows as a prop, in order to keep the camera steady when taking photos.
It was perfect for photographing objects on the table for review purposes and even from ledges looking towards the ground, and because it was small, I often left it attached it to the camera, without it interfering with its use when the tripod was not needed.
I also used it on my desk when down loading, or is it uploading, pictures from the camera to my computer; not that it made any difference to the process. It just allowed me to stand the camera safely on my desk in a more stable position without having to move any clutter from the desk, the tripod just straddled pens, paper and anything else that happened to be sitting where the camera, minus its legs would normally have stood.
The Konig mini tripod
The Konig is a silver, aluminium tripod weighing 4oz with a minimum height of 5.5-inches, and span of 5-inches between each foot. The maximum height when legs extended is 8-inches with an 8-inch span.
When folded, its length is 6.5cm, small enough to fit into the larger, camera carry-bags.
It has a universal screw attachment for the camera set into a robust ball and socket jointed, cylindrical holder, under which the three extendable legs are hinged. The ball and socket joint allows the camera to be positioned at whatever angle is suitable. On one side is a metal, screw mechanism to hold the camera at a chosen angle.
Each leg ends in a rubber foot to protect furniture. Unlike some tripods, this one is well balanced and refuses to wobble or tip, even when fully extended and accidently nudged, which I find particularly useful when taking close-ups of small items.
There is a narrow groove down each leg. When the legs are extended to their maximum length and twisted clockwise or anti clockwise, they will not retract until twisted back to their original position, with the groove in line with an indented triangle on the outer side of the leg casing; thus keeping the legs from accidentally sliding back to the minimum height.
The tripod is sturdy and stable enough to hold larger, non-digital cameras and also camcorders, yet small enough to carry in a pocket, handbag or camera carry-bag
As well as the full size tripods of this world, it's also useful to own a mini three-legged-wonder in order to keep your compact camera shots blur-free. I've got a number of these little camera steadiers, one of which is the Konig Mini Table Top variety.
Cost & Design
- - - - - - - - -
In terms of the price, the Konig Mini costs only £3.51 from Amazon; it's a price which I feel is about right for a device of this nature, although you'll frequently see these selling on eBay for even less. Appearance-wise, the tripod is pleasant looking and made from a sturdy lightweight metal. The tripod is really easy to carry around (its weight is negligible), and will easily fit into a pocket or small bag.
- - - - - - - - -
The Konig features adjustable legs, so you can easily change the height that your camera sits above the desk. The legs extend simply by pulling them downward, and the process generally feels smooth. Without extension the elevation is roughly 10cms, whereas when the legs are fully down, the camera is raised by approximately 16cms. The bottom of each leg features firm black feet which will stop slippage to an extent - although the heavier cameras may provoke some initial movement depending on the surface.
Like full-sized tripods, this mini version attaches to the underside of your camera via a screw fitting. Simply line up the screw with your camera's hole and turn the dial on the tripod - a few turns and the two devices will be securely attached. The size of the tripod's screw is universal - so as long as your camera has a threaded hole underneath, it's more than likely to fit.
Although it's designed for small compact cameras, the Konig is semi-effective with SLRs. I say 'semi'-effective, as although it supports the weight of my Nikon D90 when using a small 50mm lens, it has a tendency to topple over when the bigger (and heavier) 55-200mm zoom version is attached.
Final Word
- - - - - - -
For the price, the Konig Mini Table Top Tripod represents very good value for money. It holds compact cameras without any fuss and it's very easy to use. It is a shame that it won't take the full weight of my Nikon with the big lens attached - but then i'd expect to pay a lot more for a mini tripod which did.
I received this tripod as a stocking filler at Christmas and I was a bit unsure as to when I would ever use it. I used to just take my photos and never really worry about wobble, but after using this tripod I realised the difference that it makes.
The tripod itself is very lightweight; it weighs in at just 115g
It has adjustable 3 level legs depending on your needs and will adjust to a maximum operational height of 150mm. When the tripod is folded it measures just 110mm, which is great as it makes it easy to carry as it fits easily in your bag.
I have to say I don't take the tripod everywhere that my camera goes as it would be rather cumbersome on a night out to stop and set up your tripod. However it's great for other occasions. I find it especially useful for taking short videos with your camera. It allows you to set up your camera and just leave it to record without worrying about keeping it stable.
It's also good for taking on holiday, especially if you don't want to have to stop and ask other people to take photos of you and your travel companions.
The tripod is also very cheap, you can get it online for less than £5 so even if you don't use it all the time, at that price it is definitely worth giving it a go.
When I purchased a digital camera, I never considered purchasing a tripod, as I prefer to just point and click. No, it was only when I purchased a handheld video camera that I realised that for the best results I'd need a tripod. I didn't want a large tripod, as I only wanted to ensure that long shots and panoramic scan type shots were smooth, as I purchased the video camera for my honeymoon and I wanted to be able to show my family the places we visited on our cruise, so it was essential it had to be a small tripod.
So I was pleased to find for only £5 the Konig Mini Table Top Tripod from Amazon - the price has now fallen even further to £3.60 with free delivery which is excellent.
As it's so small, I was easily able to pop it into a regular sized handbag or beach bag, and it took hardly any room in my luggage. I have used it many times since, and members of my family have too, it has paid for itself in it's results over and over again.
As suggested in the title the tripod is small, and is adjustable to different heights with it's three aerial style legs. I usually have it at around 10cm high as that's all I need. As each leg is adjustable independently, this means the tripod can provide a stable and sturdy stand for my video camera on even the roughest of walls, rocks, grass and so on. The tripod has a universal connector, a small threaded stick which is compatible with most cameras both still and video. As it's a stainless steel finish, it looks modern and sleek, and can be used outside without worry of rust or tarnishing. The feet are a soft black plastic / rubber which provides a good non-slip base for which the legs to stand on.
In terms of support, it certainly holds my video camera well (it weighs about 1.5lbs) and provides an excellent, smooth pan. The only thing missing on this mini tripod as opposed to a full sized tripod is a handle, this would have made pan and tilt a lot easier, but as I suspect it is primarily made for digital camera users, I can understand it's omission. It's still very very handy for me, and I used it a lot on my honeymoon, with excellent results - from slow sweeps over Italian beaches to static shots of myself and my husband, I was never disappointed. And of course, as it's a universal fitting, I was able to also use it with my Nikon Coolpix digital camera - meaning that I got double the usage of it, and again have some spectacular shots of my trip which are a wonderful memento.
For the price, I would highly recommend it to any camera user no matter how infrequent. It really is an essential bit of kit and you will be so pleased with the near professional quality shots you can make with the aid of the tripod. Finally, no more asking a stranger to take a snap of you and your family - you can simply use the auto timer and the tripod to frame and take an excellent shot first time.
Now I've had my first baby, the cameras are back out again, on an almost daily basis. I am again using my tripod to catch some great pictures and video of my daughter AND me - even when no-one else is around - and I can enjoy being with her, rather than being on the other side of a viewfinder. I have lost count of the times the tripod has been used, and if I were ever to be without it, I would buy another without question. I have already gifted one to my father in law for use with his camera after he admired mine.
I can't give the Konig Mini Table Top Tripod any other rating than five stars out of five. It might not be professional kit for David Bailey wannabes, but for us everyday snappers and filmers, it's a fantastic, well made and reliable bit of kit at an amazing price, with results that speak for themselves.
I'm not an avid photographer but I do like to take a few snaps if I'm holidays or if something interesting happens. As with most cameras mine has a video function, something I found very useful in the gym. I was using my camera to ensure I was doing my exercises correctly. Unfortunately I moved gyms and no longer hand a trusty ledge to put my camera on. Enter the Konig Mini Table Tripod.
Purchasing a tripod may seem like a professional purchase for someone who only uses their camera the odd time but I'll be honest, it is very useful. I probably don't get much use out of it on holidays as I'm rarely in my own photos but if you want to video something or take a still photo repeatedly then a tripod may not be a bad choice.
The Konig Mini Table Top Tripod is a steal at about £4 on Amazon. The way I rationalised it to myself was that if I didn't like it, it was only £4 down the drain.
The tripod itself is made of what I can tell to be aluminium and extends out to around 25cm or so. There are no nuts to loosen or tighten on the legs, simply pull out a leg to the desired length and it should stay there. Notice how I said SHOULD. This doesn't always happen and you can spend a bit of time fiddling with the legs to get it in the right spot. Similarly, I've noticed that sometimes when I press the shutter button I can end up with a different frame than I intended as the tripod shifts a bit.
At the top of the tripod is a screw which seems to be the standard size for cameras, I simply place it onto my camera and give it a few twirls. This connection is fairly strong and is a bit of a contrast to the wobbliness of the legs! Folded up the tripod is about 8-10cm in length and fits easily in my camera case. Weight is pretty good too, I can't give you a figure but it's not going to break your back having it in the bag.
Overall I'd happily recommend the Konig Table Top Tripod to friends and family. At the end of the day it's a decent tripod that only costs £4!
I've never bothered with tripods because I don't like getting into photos all that much myself, and even when I'm not the one taking the photo there is ALWAYS someone there to take it for me. A couple of months ago though me and my mate went away for the weekend, I knew I'd want to get a load of photos so when I saw this Konig Mini Tripod dead cheap I thought I might as well buy it.
It's silver and is a nice looking tripod. The idea is to attach your camera to it and then set it up on the table with the timer set so that you can dash to the front and get in the photo. It's mega light and when it's folded up completely the tripod is only about 10cm so it will either fit in your camera case or you can do what I do and just push it through the belt loop of the case.
The screw at the top of the tripod is just the right size for most cameras, probably ALL cameras actually because the screw hole in cameras must be kind of universal now with all the different tripods you can choose from. The screw on this is very smooth to twist the camera onto and when you've finished the camera and tripod are stuck dead tight together.
The legs are very easy to pull out as well and they have all got a little rubber part at the bottom so that the tripod doesn't slip about while you're trying to get the perfect shot. I actually don't think the legs are all that level when they are pulled out because the tripod always feels a tiny bit wobbly to me when the camera is on it, that doesn't affect the shot and it's not wobbling all over the place and making you worry that the camera is going to fall. You can only really tell when you press the button to set the timer because then sometimes the tripod will wobble and you don't get the exact same frame then as you wanted when you first set the shot up.
The maximum height of the tripod is 15cm but you can have any height between that and the folded height. The legs pull out nice and smooth but they stay where they are put, that surprised me a bit because I thought the legs would collapse down because of the weight of the camera and also the fact that they don't feel all that stable when you first pull them out.
This is quite a good tripod but like I said, the legs feel a bit wobbly and that annoys me because it would be loads better to use if it was dead stable. I think people who are better photographers than me wouldn't mind the small wobble, but normal types who are just trying to get decent snaps of their mates on nights out will probably be a bit put off by this wobbling.... even though the wobbling isn't all that bad, or even noticeable sometimes!

The Occupy Wall Street movement is no stranger to controversy. The protests have drawn extremists and radicals of various stripes, from labor union members, to far-left Democrats, and members of various communist and socialist movements. As reported earlier by The New American, the movement has even been home to several high-profile anti-Semites, who, like their statist intellectual heroes Marx, Keynes, and Proudhon, blame their woes on perceived Jewish involvement in free-market capitalism. However, an analysis of the movement also reveals deep-seated connections between its Marxist members and radical Islamist groups, a classical example of the Islamo-Communist connection identified on many occasions as fueling the "Arab Spring" protests.
The organizers of the protests are the first to admit that they are directly inspired by the protests raging across the Arab world, which began last winter in Cairo, Egypt's Tahrir Square, and are informed by the "revolutionary Arab Spring tactic to achieve our ends." Protesters are told to "Stand, Walk, and Unite like Egyptians," and are told to wait for their "Tahrir moment." Just as the protests in Egypt and elsewhere across the Middle East are orchestrated by the collusion of various Leninist, Trotskyite, and socialist parties with the Muslim Brotherhood and al Qaeda, their American incarnation also involves the radical left collaborating with various Islamist subversives.
Arab Spring, American Autumn
Many leading leftist "intellectuals" have identified the protests as an "American Autumn" response to "Arab Spring." Cornel West, a board member of the Democratic Socialists of America and leading Marxist ideologue, stated in an interview with Amy Goodman (host of the communist-backed radio show "Democracy Now") that he perceives the movement as one that will usher in a global socialist revolution:

8 Outdoor Toys All Toddlers NeedDanielle
Spring and summer are right around the corner and if your toddler is anything like mine, 90 percent of his or her existence in these months will be outdoors. I cannot keep him inside once the weather breaks.
Since my oldest son was born we've collected a ton of different outdoor toys over the years, adding an actual swing set last spring, which they all adore.
We of course still enjoy going to the park and playing with toys we don't have in our yard but if the kids had any choice, most of the time they want to go out and play right in our yard.
The best part about it is it really keeps them active. Which all toddlers should be!
I also have caught them using their creative imaginations together on a number of occasions. Pretending their bicycles are motorcycles and driving down to Daddy's fire house, or across country to Disney World to visit Mickey Mouse.
I would love it if you guys would comment with your favorite outdoor toys for your kids to play with in the spring and summer as well!
Swing Set 1 of 8It could be plastic, wood or even metal. But if you have a yard a swing set is one of those things that will make your life so much easier!
It doesn't need to be huge and fancy! Even the smaller scale sets your toddler will love to play on and explore!
We have a middle of the road sized wooden one and all the kids really can play on it.
Swingset available on Toys R Us
Teeter Totter! 2 of 8I love these myself, unfortunately I don't really fit on them anymore!
They have all different sizes and types, but something like this one made by Little Tikes will be just right for your toddler.
Plus it makes for a ton of fun when they have friends over!
Teeter Totter available on Toys R Us
Trampoline 3 of 8You can get a little trampoline like this one or you can even upgrade to the giant ones.
Of course always make sure it has some kind of safety net, you don't want a toddler flying off and getting hurt!
Trampoline available on Toys R Us
Sandbox! 4 of 8Our toddler LOVES the sand box!
All different toys they can use to play plus build stuff!
What toddler doesn't love getting dirty?
But make sure you get one with a lid! Don't want the neighborhood cats turning it into their personal potty!
Sandbox available on Toys R Us
Water Table 5 of 8A water table is an awesome summer toy.
We got our first last winter on sale and brought it out once the weather broke.
My toddler especially loved playing in the water, pouring it all over himself and his brother.
And it is easy to fill up!
Water Table available on Toys R Us
Play Tents and Tunnels 6 of 8I wish I was small enough to still fit into these!
My kids love them and they are perfect size for toddlers to adventure in!
Play Tunnel available on Toys R Us
Bubble Blowers! 7 of 8There are all kinds of bubble blowers but our toddler loves playing with bubbles.
I like the automatic blowers because then they aren't trying to blow the bubbles themselves and it keeps the soap off of their hands.
And even better - out of their EYES!
Bubble Blower available on Toys R Us
Play House 8 of 8Our kids love their play house.
We got really lucky when a friend of ours closed her daycare and gave away all the toys she had in the yard.
Talk about hours of fun and great imaginations!
Play House available on Toys R Us

If the winding up of QE starts next week then we have just seen the start of a major US stock market correctionPosted on 15 December 2013 with no comments from readers
With market optimism and complacency at a record high along with stock prices the correction that started last week with the worst five days for stocks since August is going to morph into a far bigger correction this week if the Federal Reserve finally announces that it is winding up its QE money printing program.
Last week the S&P 500 fell 1.6 per cent to 1,775 after closing at an all-time high of 1,808 on December 9th, up more than 24 per cent in 2013, set for its best yearly gain in a decade. The Dow Jones Index shed 264 or 1.7 per cent, to 15,755.
Mean Old Santa?
Not exactly a rout after such a record run. But the higher you fly the harder you fall, and that's what comes next unless the Fed decides to give Wall Street a Christmas present next week.
However, the Fed probably feels it ought to start bringing this highly inflationary period for asset prices to a close. The risk to the real economy is a spillover into consumer price inflation that the official figures say has not happened. The punch bowl for next year will still be there but smaller and less intoxicating.
The Vix index of volatility jumped 14 per cent to 15.8 over the past week. Standby for a rollercoaster ride as an overinflated stock market deflates a little in size, or a lot if things get out of hand.
On the other hand, the Fed could choose to be cautious and give Wall Street one last party for Christmas.

Of all the members of the cloud services family, platform as a service has been the slowest to grow and is the one that enterprises have had the most trouble adopting, despite its benefits. But experts think PaaS might soon shake its reputation as an underachiever.
Gartner estimates that worldwide PaaS revenue reached $1.2 billion in 2012, up just a bit from $900 million in 2011. That's peanuts compared to the $109 billion that the researchers estimated for 2012 from all hosted services, including software as a service.
PaaS is one step up from the infrastructure offerings like Amazon Web Services, which manage servers and the virtualization layer but leave the rest up to users. With PaaS, the provider also maintains the server operating system and typically an application development environment on top of that, so developers can focus on the application they are building, rather than keeping track of server software updates.
Getting Started
Companies say they use PaaS offerings to get out of the business of managing server hardware and software so they can get products to market quicker and iterate constantly. The simplest definition of PaaS is that it's an application platform offered as a service.
The benefit is that developers who use PaaS offerings don't have to build and configure hardware and software environments for their applications to run on. They can write an application and upload it to a PaaS that supports their software language of choice, and the application runs.
Mind Shift Required
Still, using PaaS requires a shift in thinking for some developers and IT shops. People like Cruz, who has a background in managing hardware infrastructure -- he was CTO at a credit card company that had 6,000 square feet of data center space -- might find it challenging to not be able to manage servers. "At first it's weird because you think, 'I'm having this weird issue, can't I just go into the box?'" he says. "You really can't do that."
Instead, PaaS users have new ways to manage problems. For example, a developer might use a tool like New Relic to try to troubleshoot problems that affect app performance.
"We have a team of engineers, but we don't have full-time dev ops personnel. The cost of building that team would far outweigh the cost of the premium that Engine Yard charges," he says.
Plus, "we're not particularly interested in wearing the pager that way," Smith says. "If a client's site goes down because my software's not working, that's totally fair. But we don't really want to be involved at 3 a.m. because a router in the data center went down."
So far, the transition is working fine. "You have that layer between you and the iron so things like monitoring and how the deployment system works is limited. But generally, anything you need to do at that level, I can call [Engine Yard] and talk to an engineer and they'll help us," Smith says.
Beyond the language issue, enterprises have needs that are similar to those of startups in that they find PaaS useful for getting to market quickly. At a large company, however, it's more often a marketing executive who signs up for PaaS than someone from the IT department, according to PaaS vendors.
"The center of gravity around who is the purchaser and decision-maker is shifting," says Doug Hauger, general manager for Azure at Microsoft. He says chief marketing officers or line-of-business vice presidents at customer companies are telling their marketing agencies they want a new marketing campaign quickly and they want it done on Azure. "That's causing challenges because the IT department is saying, 'OK, so what do we do?'" Hauger says.
Often marketing executives will initially approach IT but find that IT can't move as quickly as they want. But not all IT shops are totally resistant to change.

An earlier version misstated the extent of the Nikkei Stock Average's fall from its peak on May 23. The corrected version of the report follows.
HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — Asian stocks rebounded Friday as eased worries about the Federal Reserve's monetary policy and an improvement in U.S. economic data sparked relief buying across the region, with Japanese and Southeast Asian equities witnessing strong gains.
Japan's Nikkei Stock Average NIK, -0.99% climbed 1.9%, taking back some ground after the previous day's 6.4% plunge, even as the dollar USDJPY, -0.03% stayed under the ¥95 handle for most of the session after rising well above that level earlier in the day.
At Friday's close, the Nikkei Average was 20.4% lower than its peak on May 23, ending for a second straight day in a so-called bear-market, although it emerged from that territory earlier in the day. A bear market is generally defined as a price decline of 20% or more within a two-month period.
The bounce came after stocks on Wall Street snapped a three-day losing streak, aided by a report in The Wall Street Journal that the Fed was likely to use its next policy meeting to quell fears about raising short-term interest rates in the near future. Data on U.S. retail sales and new jobless claims also signaled an improvement.
"We are stuck in a 'Goldilocks world' as the continued seesawing between concerns about market-related policy and the real U.S. economy [are] likely to persist for the remainder of the year," said Perpetual head of investment market research Matthew Sherwood.
Southeast Asian stocks posted the biggest gains in the region. Thailand's SET TH:SETIDX jumped 3.5% and Indonesia's JSX JAKIDX, +0.10% gained 3.3% in afternoon trade, while the Philippine benchmark PSEI PSEI, -0.03% ended the session 2.1% higher.
On Thursday, the PSEI had plunged 6.7%, while the SET and the JSX fell 2.1% and 1.9%, respectively.
Meanwhile, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index HSI, -0.71% added 0.4%, while the Shanghai Composite SHCOMP, +2.97% advanced 0.6% for its first higher finish in nine trading days.

Blind Chinese dissident to leave NYU
Chen Guangcheng, the Chinese dissident who escaped house arrest in 2012 and fled to the U.S., will leave his post at New York University and is in negotiations to move to Fordham University.
"The key to market trends would be [U.S.] economic data not coming in super-hot or super-cold. Instead, it needs to be middle-ground, which enables earnings growth to persist without concerning the hawks in the U.S. Fed," Perpetual's Sherwood said.
Despite the day's gains, most regional markets suffered big losses during the week, with the Philippine index shrinking 6.9%, the Hang Seng Index losing 2.8%, the Shanghai Composite dropping 2.2%, the Kospi falling 1.8% and the Nikkei shedding 1.5%.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 was the only major benchmark to end higher during the week, with a gain of 1.1%.

Training & Advisory Services LLC is owned and operated by three police officers and a federal agent, all with military experience: a Marine, a SEAL, and USAF security forces. The police officers were SWAT officers, including a SWAT sniper, and full time police academy instructors. We offer the finest instruction available, in a non-threatening environment, with an emphasis on firearms safety. To date, we have trained more than 4,000 people. Don't leave your training to amateurs!
Our classes are held near Bennett, Colorado – a 20 minute drive from I-70 and I-225, 40 minutes from Parker or downtown Denver.
Classes are available for both beginner and advanced level shooters. All firearms classes fulfill the Colorado concealed weapons (CCW) permit training requirement.
Our curriculum is far more in depth than most courses. Buyer beware, there is lots of competition in our business – but most courses are taught by civilians, detention officers, or Deputy Sheriffs who have only worked in detentions, who label themselves "law enforcement." Most other CCW courses DO NOT include actual shooting, and are taught by amateurs. We offer the most in- depth program available. Our instructors are active, not retired, police officers, who can offer a working knowledge of legal concerns; such as what to do if you're contacted by the police when you're armed, or if you use deadly force in self defense. Our staff has extensive teaching experience.
We have both total beginners and experienced shooters in every course. We take it slowly and patiently with beginners, and make it a positive experience, even the experienced shooters learn a lot.
Ready to register for a class? Please email email@example.com with your name, which class you would like to sign up for, and which date. Lastly, please tell us know how you found us.

GE's new 'silent scan' tech takes the noise out of MRIs
Want to know what a typical MRI scanner sounds like? Go to this YouTube video and turn up the volume pretty much as loud as you can and you'll get an idea. At 110 decibels, which is roughly the noise level of a rock show (I know, depends on which one) and right at the average human pain threshold, MRI scanners are pretty much daring you to keep your cool.
So GE Healthcare has been developing a new technology called Silent Scan that dramatically reduces the noise level. (Scroll down to get an idea of the difference.) The company reports this week that the tech is now commercially available and is also being more widely used in clinical settings worldwide.… Read more

"You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
- The Dark Knight (2008)
This whole season I kept coming back to this quote when thinking of Brett Favre. The night his streak ends I find it fitting to put this all into context…one…last…time.
We have exhausted ourselves over the past two seasons on this site expressing how we feel about #4, so I am not going to shed light on anything new, but rather finally add closure to this whole saga. When you think about it, Monday night delivered the perfect closure for Favre. A "home" game in Detroit because the Metrodome collapsed to due a snowstorm disaster, just as the 2010 season has been a complete disaster for him and the Vikings. It was also fitting that the team that ended Favre's career in Green Bay was the Vikings' opponent on Monday night.
Last year, Favre could do no wrong in Minnesota. He was their savior, their white knight. He led the Vikings closer to a championship than they had been in over a decade. He then hesitated to come back in 2010, like only Favre knows how. If he actually did hang it up, no one would have blamed him. Granted Vikings fans desperately wanted him back to take care of "unfinished business," but even they couldn't fault a 40-year-old future Hall of Famer if he decided to stay in Mississippi shooting Wrangler commercials.
But he came back, just like we knew he always would and it was only a matter of time before all of his hero tokens ran out. The thing about cheering for a guy like Favre on your team is that when he is good, you love him. When he is not good, you are pulling your hair out. Everyone who followed him close enough over the course of his career knew that 2010 was going to end in only one of two ways: he was going to play hero again and lead the Vikings to another deep championship run; or he was going to go down in flames and be the central cause to the Vikings' demise. As well as Favre has played hero over the years, he plays one damn good villain too.
Would it surprise anyone if Favre gets on a plane to Mississippi this week and just ends his time in Minnesota three weeks early? It shouldn't because there is nothing left for him in Minnesota besides five feet of snow and sub-zero temperatures. Being a closet conspiracy theorist it also wouldn't surprise me if there is a suspension looming with Sterger-gate and the NFL told him he could end his streak with dignity this week or in shame the following the week. Even if that is the case, how much dignity does he have with how his streak ended? He has played through worse and it is actually kind of a let down how the streak ended. It always seemed like the streak would end with a serious, career-threatening injury or retirement.
So the streak ends at 297, three games short of 300, a number we all know Favre wanted to reach. Of all the records he owns, it is no secret the streak mattered the most to him. It is also his most self-absorbing record since it is the one where his teammates are involved the least. Favre is the most egotistical athlete in my lifetime and to have this streak, and most likely his career end in this fashion is too fitting. He had chances to go out as a hero at both the end of 2007 and 2009, unexpectedly delivering two teams one game shy of the Super Bowl.
However, he stuck around too long and tore the emotions of two rival fan bases. Who would have predicted three years ago that all of this would have transpired?
But it did. And now Favre is stuck knowing that he is forced to leave the game not the way he wanted, not as a hero. But rather, just the opposite.

Nevada's Loneliest Road…and it isn't U.S. 50
Alan Paulsen
September 12, 2013
U.S. Highway 50 across the breadth of Nevada is billed as the state's loneliest road. Having traversed U.S. 50 numerous times, I have to disagree. U.S. Highway 93 down the eastern length of Nevada is nearly 200 miles farther and extends through as much emptiness and lonely towns as the former. But... Read more »

Is this game in english :?
of course not? =_= you should have read the other threads first, before posting.
I actualy did.
I dont see why this game has its own section under the "Online Games" since its not in english. Shouldn't this belong in the "Korean/Foreign Games"? All the other mmo in the "Online Games" sections are for an english/international version, so thats why i wasn't sure =_=
Last edited by Inugami; 12-30-2006 at 03:23 AM.
No, because its popular its got own section. And on the first page theres Korean registration topic. I mean if there would be international version wouldnt the korean server be less talked. All the threads have something about the korean or other versions, nothing international...
ppl said the english version goin to launch on 2005 isn't it 2007 now??
i've been waitin for all these years to play the english version... what a heart destroyer
ahh.. you better dun wait for the english version out as it wont be out in a few years later or mayb wont be out forever
Yeah, if you want to play just start the foreign. Nexon now has theyre own english website but I think they wont be bringing out this title. Which is sad of course.
Last year, I saw a few screenshots of an English Talesweaver but I heard that it was a private free server or something. I downloaded the game on my old computer but my computer couldn't handle the game at that time so I uninstalled it.
I'm pretty sure there are still a few free servers that are in English out there, though I don't remember where to find them.
look at the date. its a pretty old topic isn't it? (At least its old enough) there are no english servers. that private server project was closed awhile ago.

Student Government Association coordinates two fundraisers
Penn State Mont Alto's Student Government Association is coordinating two fundraising efforts to provide earthquake relief aid to Haiti and Chile.
The SGA Senate, in conjunction with its Resident Advisors and Residence Hall Council, will host a talent show to benefit earthquake relief efforts in Chile on Wednesday, April 21 at 8 p.m. in the General Studies Building Auditorium (Room 105). All proceeds will benefit American Red Cross relief efforts in Chile. The event will feature several student-performed acts including the Mont Alto Jazz Band and other outstanding performers. Admission is $1 and there will be door prizes as well as a raffle for the grand prize.
In addition, the SGA is conducting a campus-wide relief effort for Haiti by selling wristbands for $2 each with 100% of proceeds going to the Shoes to Share organization. The red-colored wristbands read "PSUMA + Care = Haiti." The SGA will sell the wristbands through May 1st; they will have a table will be set up on the sidewalk outside of the Science Techology building on Wednesday, April 28 and Thursday, April 29th, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. SGA President Tim Stroman urged in a campus-wide email, "Every penny makes a difference. On behalf of SGA we would very much appreciate your help in any way, shape or form."

When re-litigating a patent may be permitted
In Resolution v Lundbeck, handed down on 12 April 2013, Arnold J has allowed a generic supplier company, Resolution Chemicals Ltd, to pursue its own revocation proceedings against Lundbeck's SPC/GB02/049 protecting escitalopram, by way of challenge to the validity of its basic patent EP (UK) 0347066.
This is despite the fact that the validity of this patent had already been upheld in earlier litigation, in which one party was a member of the same corporate group as Resolution at the time, and two others belong to the same group as a company that Resolution now has commercial dealings with.
Can a party re-litigate a patent, or will they be estopped because they have a 'privity of interest' with a party to the decision of the earlier litigation? In this case, Arnold J has held that a party will be barred from relitigating for privity of interest if it has a "sufficient degree of identification" with the earlier litigants such that it is just to hold that the decision in the earlier case is binding on the re-litigant…

For Immediate Release
July 13, 2007
UTB/TSC Says Goodbye to Dean of Education
Dr. Carl Stockton, UTB/TSC Dean of the School of Education, gave his farewell to his colleagues during a reception on Thursday, July 12, celebrating his many accomplishments.
Stockton, who started at UTB/TSC in January of 2004, accepted a position at the University of Houston – Clear Lake as Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs.
"He has been a wonderful Dean to work with .He did such a great job," said Dr. Gayle Brogdon, who will take Stockton's place as interim dean.
During the celebration, Stockton's colleagues noted his integrity, support, strong leadership, kindness and great strides he made at the university.
"I appreciate the wisdom you brought to the University," said Dr. Charles Dameron, vice president for Academic Affairs. "The contributions of momentum were so impressive."
Among the many contributions Stockton made at the university is the push for the implementation of a doctorate in curriculum and instruction with an emphasis in bilingual education.
The program is set to go before the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board on Thursday, July 19, in Austin. If approved, the doctoral degree will be the first for UTB/TSC.
As part of the school's anniversary year celebration, which commemorates the 15-year partnership between UTB and TSC, Stockton also played an inspirational role in helping two of his faculty members and two students break the Guinness World Record for reading aloud, logging in more than 140 hours.
Dr. Javier Ayala, who was unable to attend the event, still expressed his gratitude and appreciation to the man he called "boss" over the past few years through a letter.
"Without a doubt, we couldn't have done it without you," Ayala wrote. "You were an inspiration to me and to us all. I don't believe your time here was by chance, because I believe nothing ever is by chance."
Stockton too believed his time at UTB/TSC was more than a random sequence of events.
"I remember when I was applying for dean's positions when I was in North Carolina, I hesitated to apply to UTB/TSC, nearly five years ago," Stockton said. "I remember seeing the position in the "Chronicle for Higher Education" newspaper, which I really never read then, but for some reason I had on my desk. It took me three weeks to apply and now I know it was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
"I'm going to miss you guys," he said.
Colleagues and friends gave Stockton personal gifts, including engraved mementoes, framed photos, and even a serenade of Kenny Roger's "Lucille," performed by Dr. Olivia Rivas, chair/ professor of School Specialties; Douglas Ferrier, dean of Instructional Support and Dr. Jose Martin, provost.
Stockton begins his new position on August 1.

MEC for safety, security and liaison Florence Fulufhelo Dzhombere has changed her surname to Radzilani.
Departmental spokesperson Molebatsi Masedi, said: "We call on the media, public and other institutions to refer to her as Radzilani." Married for some years, Radzilani holds an honours degree in public administration.
She was the executive mayor of the Vhembe district municipality last year until Premier Cassel Mathale redeployed her to the executive council and appointed her MEC when he reshuffled his cabinet in February.
