New Bill Allows California College Students to Download Core Textbooks for Free

Thanks to two new bills, there is financial relief at last
Whether you're racking up tuition fees now or still paying student loans after graduation, you know one thing is for sure: College is expensive. To make matters worse, the spending doesn't end at a semester of classes -- there's books that need to be purchased as well, and they're worth more than a little bit of pocket change.
But if you're going to school in California, a bit of relief has finally come your way in the form of two bills: SB 1052 and SB 1053.
Both bills, which were crafted by Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento), will allow California college students to download up to 50 core textbooks for free in
the form of e-books
. The e-books are for lower-division courses and are for classes at the University of California, California State University and California Community Colleges.
More specifically, SB 1052 allows for the development of the e-books and the creation of the California Open Education Resources Council for e-book approvals. SB 1053 has developed the California Digital Open Source Library to store the new e-books.
"Many students are paying more than $1,000 every year on their textbooks, sometimes having to choose between buying the books they need or paying for food and other living expenses," said Steinberg.
The new e-book bills were signed by Governor Jerry Brown on Thursday. They are expected to go into effect starting in the 2013-14 school year.
Digital textbooks are certainly becoming the new way of learning in institutions around the globe. This new form of educational offerings was further boosted by Apple earlier this year, who released
iBooks 2 and iBooks Author
that allow for the creation of digital textbooks and makes them available for purchase on the iPad.
"Well, we didn't have anyone in line that got shot waiting for our system." -- Nintendo of America Vice President Perrin Kaplan

ORLANDO, Fla. - The Orlando Magic plays its first pre-season game in front of home fans against the 76ers, and although there were doubts about attendance this season, the Magic say tickets sales show things are on track.
Joel Glass, spokesman for the Magic, says ticket sales are on par with past seasons. Glass says the team sold 1500 new season tickets this summer, which compares closely to several years ago.
"I'm stoked. I love the Magic. I live for the Magic. I'm really excited," said longtime fan Randy Morrison.
Morrison attended the game Thursday night, and he says he'll give the young team a chance this season.
"I'm really excited to see the young guys and the veterans that stuck around," he said.
Since Dwight Howard's departure some have questioned if the pre-season excitement will carry over through the season's duration.
"For the fans that want to see the stars--people like Dwight Howard--they're going to sit at home. It's not going to be the same," said fan Eric Hooks.
Although he has a few doubts, Hooks thinks loyal fans like him will keep the Magic in business this season.
"As long as you have tourists coming out and loyal fans like myself it's gonna be alright."

Amburgey (Amberger) ancestors and descendants : a supplement to Amburgey ancestry in America
- Amburgey news
- Amburgey Family Association news
To view a digital version of this item click here.
John Amburgey, Jr. was born in 1758 on a farm once owned by his German immigrant grandfather Conrad Amberger. The latter died about 1742 when his son John Amburgey, Sr. was about twelve years old. On July 3, 1787, John Amburgey, Jr. married Elizabeth Hamons. They had twelve children. In 1814 most of the family moved to Russell County, Virginia and in 1826, some families crossed the mountains into what was Perry County, Kentucky (now Knott County).
Descendants are located in Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia and elsewhere.
This supplement adds families in both directions from the original book reaching back into Germany and going forward to include descendants in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Virginia, Texas, Michigan and California.
Includes name index.
The supplement also adds surnames for Christian, Collings, Combs, Hall, Honeycutt, Pigman and related families.
Also available on digital images.

Should I open a Coverdell education savings account?
A Coverdell education savings account can play an important part in your college savings program. Once an account is open, you can contribute at any time during the year, and you even have until April 15 of the following taxable year to make a contribution for the current taxable year. In addition, contributions can be made by an entity, including a tax-exempt entity, on behalf of a selected beneficiary.
The main benefit of Coverdell ESAs is tax related. Specifically, money you withdraw to pay your child's college education expenses is completely tax free, including earnings. (Generally, distributions are tax free if they are not more than the beneficiary's education expenses for the year.) Coverdell ESAs have many favorable features:
- You can contribute up to $2,000 per year for a selected beneficiary
- You can use Coverdell ESA funds to pay elementary and secondary school expenses
- You can contribute to both a Coverdell ESA and a 529 plan (prepaid tuition plan or college savings plan) in the same year for the same beneficiary
- You can claim either the American Opportunity credit (Hope credit) or the Lifetime Learning credit in the same year you take a tax-free distribution from a Coverdell ESA (though the education expenses paid with the Coverdell ESA distribution can't be the same expenses used to qualify for the credit)
Before you consider opening a Coverdell ESA, though, you'll have to meet certain income limits. Single filers must have a modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) of $95,000 or less to make the maximum $2,000 contribution, and joint filers must have a MAGI of $190,000 or less. A partial contribution is allowed for single filers with a MAGI between $95,000 and $110,000, and for joint filers with a MAGI between $190,000 and $220,000.

Recycle electronic waste for free starting Sept 1
The days of waiting to recycle your electronic waste for free are over. Starting September 1, "e-waste" can be recycled at no cost at the Eel River Resource Recovery sites in Fortuna and Arcata.
Since 2010, the recycling center has sponsored an annual day for residents to drop off their hazardous e-waste items for free. Eel River Disposal staff said they thought it would die down as years went by, but people kept bringing more and more in. They said since there is a demand, they figured they could offer a free drop-off everyday to not only increase business, but also do the environment a favor by limiting the amount of e-waste found on the side of roads.
The Eel River Resource Recovery will be closed Monday, September 2 for the Labor Day holiday.

Click here, or on the image above, to see the press conference at The Berlin International Film Festival for Tabu (with English translation).
Just back from The 62nd Berlin International Film Festival, Marco Abel raves about Miguel Gomes' Tabu (2012). a dreamy narrative that nods towards the Murnau/Flaherty Tabu: A Story of the South Seas (1931), but with a decidedly different spin. Tabu won the prestigious Alfred Bauer Award as well as the FIPRESCI Prize at Berlin, and was nominated for the Golden Bear, so it seems that all the commotion is not without substance. This was the world premiere, so obviously I haven't seen it, but it sounds delicious, and I can't wait to check it out for myself.
Here's a brief review by Patrick Gamble from Cinevue: "Miguel Gomes' third feature Tabu (2012) is an impassioned love story which draws its influences from the early romantic era of 1930's Hollywood filmmaking – and is already one of the stand-out films at this year's Berlinale. Aurora (played by Laura Soveral in her old age and Ana Moreira during her younger years), an elderly Portuguese women with an eccentric personality and a destructive taste for the local casino's slot machines, lives with her African maid Santa (Isabel Cardoso) in an imposing Lisbon tower block. Her next door neighbour is Miss Pilar (Teresa Madruga), a compassionate and caring catholic who finds herself caring for Aurora as her mental state starts to show signs of deteriorating. When Aurora is admitted to hospital, Pilar is assigned the task of finding a long lost companion of hers, an Italian man with an outlandish tale of love against adversity set within the shadows of Mount Tabu in Africa.
Tabu is stepped in nostalgia, with Gomes painterly presenting his characters in romanticised black and white – a fact only emphasised by Gomes' decision to name his movie after [an F.W.] Murnau film. It results in a film that radiates a warmth that perfectly compliments its heartbreaking story. Crossing back and forth through time, Tabu successfully differentiates past from present with subtle lighting techniques and the gentle use of soft focus – creating a dream like atmosphere that feels like crossing through a jungle of memories and regrets [. . .] Playfully switching from the gloom of the present day to the warmth and perceived simplicity of life in the past, Tabu is an enthralling, lighthearted stab at a society unable to escape from imprisoning itself in a cloud of nostalgia."

"The Max Adams Morris story is a feel good Auburn story," said Auburn professor and board member of the Auburn Heritage Association Charles Hendrix. "In the fourth stanza of the Auburn Creed it says, 'I believe in a sound mind, a sound body and a spirit that is not afraid,' and these are the qualities and traits that Max Morris exemplified."
Auburn University recently dedicated the Max Adams Morris ROTC Drill Field and historic marker in front of Nichols Center; the marker was placed near the building, as close as possible to the old Max Morris Field, which was located on the current site of the Village Residence Halls and adjacent parking lot.
Morris was a 1942 graduate of Alabama Polytechnic Institute, or API, where he was an honor military student and a varsity football player. As a student, he received the Carnegie Medal for Heroism after he suffered severe burns rescuing Wayne Nelson Jr. and attempting to rescue H. Daughtry Perritt from electric shock at ROTC summer training camp at Ft. Benning, Ga., in 1941. Another cadet, Donald Kelly, saved Morris.
Hendrix came across Morris' story while working on another project. He began working with the Auburn University Board of Trustees to have the area in front of Nichols Center named as the new Max Morris Field. He also wanted to place a historic marker near the former site because, to him, Auburn is about heroes.
"Morris' story is one of courage, selflessness and love for your fellow man," he said. "It is a story of scholar athletes. It is a story of love of country. It is the story of a simple, unassuming man. It is a story of 'making a difference.' It is a story of how many people are touched when even one life is saved. There is just so much humanity behind this story."
Following a storm, a four-and-one-half foot radio antenna had become electrically charged and the ground was soaked from the storm. Perritt touched the antenna, was shocked and fell unconscious. Nelson thought he had been overcome by heat and went to tend to him when his wrist came in contact with the antenna. He, too, was shocked and fell unconscious.
Morris grabbed Nelson's arm and was shocked, but was able to pull himself free. Balancing on the rubber heels of his shoes, Morris again grabbed Nelson and pulled him free from the charged antenna. Morris then used a pillow to knock Perritt free of the contact, but the antenna broke and fell across Morris' shoulder, neck and back. He was shocked and fell unconscious as well. Kelly was then able to use a board to lift the antenna off Morris. He and Nelson were both revived, but Perritt could not be saved.
API President Luther Duncan and Ralph Draughon, then-secretary to the president, wrote a letter nominating Morris for the Carnegie Medal for Heroism. He was selected as one of the winners for 1941, receiving the medallion and $250, which "was to be paid for a worthy purpose" to be approved by the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission's executive committee.
Morris was commissioned an officer in the U.S. Army upon graduation, and served eight years of military duty. For his service in World War II, he was promoted to the rank of major and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal and the Army Commendation Ribbon. He was killed in action in the Korean War in 1950; his remains have not yet been recovered.
Members of the Morris, Nelson, Perritt and Kelly families were brought together for the ceremony. Douglas Chambers of the Carnegie Hero Fund surprised the Morris family with the presentation of a duplicate medal to replace the original, which was stolen.
The original Max A. Morris Drill Field was dedicated on May 14, 1953, under the leadership of API President Ralph Draughon.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/4/2013 (1600 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Watching Mr. Selfridge (PBS, Sunday, 9 p.m.) is an odd, double-edged experience. The well-appointed Masterpiece series offers a vision of the optimistic birth of the modern department store at a time when our own great department stores are dead or dying.
A fictionalized account of American entrepreneur Harry Gordon Selfridge (played by Entourage alum Jeremy Piven), the show isn't exactly must-see TV. But it works as lavish Edwardian décor porn. (One British TV writer called it "Downton Abbey with tills.")
Selfridge opened his namesake emporium in London in 1909, and his ensuing success came from a passionate belief that shopping could be a thrill instead of a chore. He designed his 540,000 square-foot store as a pleasure palace, using aristocratic trappings -- Ionic columns, crystal chandeliers, marble floors and plush carpets -- to lure the burgeoning middle classes.
Looking at Selfridge's retail cathedral, it's hard not to follow a slightly melancholy track to our city's own department stores. They had similarly bright beginnings, followed by a robust middle age. But we all know what's happened since.
Eaton's opened in 1905, a marvel of muscular Chicago-style architecture. (Selfridge himself got his start in the Windy City, working his way up at Marshall Field's.)
The downtown Hudson's Bay store followed in 1926, and -- unlike the late, lamented, demolished Eaton's -- it still hangs on. Its beautiful Beaux-arts facade is as imperturbable as ever, even as its interior gets weirder and shabbier. Speculation and debate about the building's future continue, but it seems clear that the 20th-century ideal of the big department store is no longer viable.
For Harry Selfridge, the department store was a symbol of a bright, shining, egalitarian future, the necessary antithesis to the dark, cramped, snooty stores of the 19th century.
The television series dives into Selfridge's big-idea boosterism, there at the enthusiastic start of things, but it's hard not to look ahead and see the long shadow of today's sad, stressed department-store chains.
Selfridge adored grandness and reach, and he demanded that his store's floors be as open and expansive as London's fire regulations would allow. At The Bay, it's those vast spaces that now give the downtown store such an eerie atmosphere. Even with the store compressed into three floors, the place can feel echoing and empty.
This effect was even worse when the Paddlewheel restaurant was stranded all by itself on the spooky sixth floor. Something about the low light and long deserted halls seemed to call up Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. (Just as well, perhaps, that the elevators aren't used much anymore. It's hard to get away from that image of elevator doors and a river of blood.)
The TV series presents Selfridge's as a busy, purposeful, self-contained world. According to the bio on which the show is based, Shopping, Seduction & Mr. Selfridge by Lindy Woodhead, Selfridge liked to walk through his army of employees -- at the store's peak they numbered in the thousands -- and rally the troops. The floors were packed with goods (Selfridge once boasted that he would sell anything, from a cigar to an airplane) and services (art shows, cooking exhibitions, child care, restaurants, salons, a library, reading and writing areas). Selfridge's even offered a "Silence Room" for frazzled shoppers.
Contrast this hive of activity with a few doleful memories of Eaton's in the late 1990s, when the hopeless, mismanaged corporation was floundering, the shelves were erratically dotted with dwindling stock, and whole floors were staffed by a few dispirited employees working under sentence of termination notices.
Back in the early 1900s, Selfridge was a visionary. He helped pioneer ideas we now take for granted: branding, celebrity endorsements, in-store promotions, elaborate window displays, aspirational advertising. He developed the concept of shopping as recreation, shopping as spectacle, shopping as a visual, tactile, emotional, even erotic experience. Basically, Selfridge and his flagship store helped kick-start modern consumerism.
But since consumerism runs on desire that can never be satisfied, the success of the modern department store contained its own end. Department stores stoked consumerist hunger, and then, decades later, these staid, solid institutions could no longer satisfy it. People still wanted everything in one place, but they headed to other sources, first the sprawling suburban malls and later the quick clicks of the Internet.
Maybe that's why watching Mr. Selfridge feels complicated -- glittery and glamorous and also a little sad. The show is about the start of Selfridge's, but it's also about the end of Eaton's. And ultimately it's about consumerism, which means that whatever it offers is never enough.

BRIDPORT captain Ryan Hayter would love history to repeat itself tomorrow when the Bees go for their first league double of the season at Radstock Town (3pm).
Striker Ryan Dovell scored all of the Dorset club's goals when they beat Radstock 4-2 last October and, providing the game in Somerset is not scuppered by the elements, Hayter is looking for the same outcome again.
Hayter has called every fixture from now until the end of the season "massive" with the Bees keen to pull clear of the Toolstation Western Premier Division relegation zone where they currently occupy the last of the three places.
Radstock are the same number of spots above them in the table and a win for Bridport would see them close the gap on their rivals to two points – and Hayter knows just how important the match is.
"They were a really good side when we played them before," said the 26-year-old.
"They were down in the bottom two then, so we were expecting an easier game, but they were a really difficult side to play against.
"But that was one of our best performances of the season and Ryan Dovell was a massive player for us as he has been since August.
"And it's a massive game this time. Every game from now until the season ends is massive.
"I don't think there is one team in this league that is miles better than anyone else so if we can get out of trouble we'll be okay for next season."
With last season's captain Dar-ren Lock joining the Marines, Hayter has stepped up to take over as skipper this term and the man born and bred in Bridport is enjoying leading out the club he has played for since the age of 16.
Results have not been too positive on the pitch for him and his men but Hayter is proud to wear the armband in what has been a difficult few months.
"The last few months have been a bit of a nightmare with the weather," he added. "We've only played once since December 16 so it's very frustrating.
"You can do all the running and training you like but because you're not playing you lose your match fitness.
"We've also had some players out with injuries all season and others have gone travelling so we've been without five or six who would potentially be in the starting line-up.
"It was great that we got Jamie Symes on loan but because of all the postponements he is still waiting to play for us and with most of the league games in the week being called off it's not looking too good for Saturday."
Sam Buckler's possible unavailability is the only doubt for boss Trevor Senior and Russell Legg is suspended but the good news is that Sam Charles is back in training after months out with cruciate knee ligament problems.
Bees: (from) S Filkins, Hayter, Cond-liffe, Evans, M Buckler, C Clarke, Luke, Wise, Dovell, B Clarke, Hailu, Ritchie, Symes, J Filkins

Your gift to help a hardworking entrepreneur will double in impact thanks to a generous World Vision partner.
Laura is from Mexico. She has 1 child. She needs a loan of $475 to buy sandals for her store.
Laura is from Mexico. She has 1 child. She needs a loan of $475 to buy sandals for her store.
Laura is a widow who sells sandals in order to provide for herself and her son, Cristian Antonio, who is in high school. She runs the sandals store by herself, so when she travels to stock up on sandals, she has to close the business or ask someone else to help her.
With a loan from World Vision, Laura will buy better quality sandals. This will increase her sales and make it easier for her to afford closing the shop when she has to. She plans to improve her customer service as well as offer better products.
Laura's sandal shop benefits the members of her community who come to Laura to buy the shoes they need. The shop also sustains Laura and her son. Laura will use her additional income to take care of herself and her son.
Retail is a quick and scalable way to begin earning a profit. Many entrepreneurs begin with stalls at markets or even at home and need a loan to expand or increase their inventory. Others may be ready to open a small store. Goods purchased from loan funds range from clothing, grocery or sundry items to jewelry, candy, perfume or health and beauty supplies. Loans in the commerce sector account for around 33% of our loans.
There is no community update available at this time.
Thank you for supporting a small business loan for Laura Zenteno Guzman to expand her clothing and retail business. After receiving the loan from World Vision, she invested the $475 to buy sandals for her store. Laura has been repaying her loan on time with her new profits. She makes weekly payments of $19.
In addition to repaying her loan, Laura is using additional income to purchase food for the animals, purchase food for the family and expand the current business. Laura's 1 child continues to study in school.
Thank you for supporting Laura and World Vision Micro!

kinda slogging my way trough this bit of animation.http://cdiwwwtest.cdicorp.com/staffing (gv up on the box sizing)but got in the animation for the two puzzle pieces. w/the z-index for one switching on hover.However.I want to add text so it sits next to the image. So far when i added it winds up below or elsewhere. i was also thinking of using jquery instead to change the image on hover. (i don't think you can have css animation w/background images)Anyway, could i please have some advice on adding text to the side of the images? (& yes the images look crappy but those are for test only)thxD
also any way to resize the image w/the animation as well?with a hover setting it flickers unless the mouse is directly over it is seems. anyway around that?
You can make the text for the left side show like this:
#ro01 a{position:absolute;}
#ro01:hover #ro01sub{display:block}
The above is over-rides to your existing styles and not replacements.
also any way to resize the image w/the animation as well?
You can use scale to enlarge the image.
#ro01:hover img{
-webkit-transform: scale(1.3);
-moz-transform: scale(1.3);
transform: scale(1.3);
(i don't think you can have css animation w/background images)
You can't animate the background image properties but you can animate the container that holds the image.
You can find a useful article here on animations.
Paul thank you! I hadn't thought of making the a relative and the addy div absolute. That worked. I had tried the transition/scale but it didin't quite work so gave that one up. But using instead an opacity transition.Thanks for the helpD
Was wondering if you could get advice on two things:1. the sizing is not quite working out in ie cutting off the info in the roll over/hover animation right side. Don't quite understand why ie is doing that of all things.2. I have span for the title. .roHeader. I have been trying to get it to step out of the alignmet of its parent div. placement and margin. So far that doesnt seem possible. do i need to take it out, give it's own absolute positioning and styling for that to work?thank you.
You are moving the element using translate but you are not using the real property so IE10 gets nothing. You must always end the vendor prefixed code with the real property.
#ro01:hover {
transform: translate(100px, 0px);
#ro02:hover {
transform: translate(-175px, 0px);
You need to do that for all your vendor prefixed rules. Note that IE9 doesn't understand those animation properties so you will have to use conditional comments and move the element over a bit with some absolute positioning on hover instead.
I have span for the title. .roHeader. I have been trying to get it to step out of the alignmet of its parent div. placement and margin. So far that doesnt seem possible. do i need to take it out, give it's own absolute positioning and styling for that to work?thank you.
You could move it with relative positioning.
Why did you use a span and not a heading tag for a header?
Thank you finally got to implement had forgotten about that bit. also used to update the transition for ie.Got on last question. when i hover either one of the side, the move fine but a bit of the opposite site is still visible until the moving side is fully over it.How could i get around that?thanksD
as for the span. at the time i wrote it I was just trying things out. really wasn't sure i would call it a header, I did in the class, but not officially.
Adjust the z-index on hover only to keep the active one on top.
I was wondering could you advs as why this is not working on an ipad?thxD
If you are talking about the hover effect then there is no real hover on an ipad. There is only click (touch).
Usually if the element has a hover effect then a first touch will action the hover but this seems to be restricted to elements that can receive focus like links etc. As you are using other elements for the hover then I guess that you will get nothing on the ipad.
I have seen other demos that get around this by adding and empty onclick attribute to the element that has the hover effect (any element that you have applied the main :hover rule to). So for example if you had said p:hover then you would need this html
 etc..
However the problem with the ipad (and other touch devices) is that once you have activated the hover effect it will not disappear until you click something else. You would probably need to build the same functionality with some js instead.
e.g.From what I can gather it's something like this.

OAKLAND, CALIF. — For a fan forum marking the 50th anniversary of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, former Oakland Raiders coach John Madden, defensive end Howie Long and former San Francisco 49ers safety Ronnie Lott all wore their gold jackets symbolizing membership.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, perhaps on purpose, wore a gray sweater.
John Elway was the only Hall of Famer to don a business suit, with coat matching his gray slacks.
A symbolic wardrobe to represent how he no longer is John Elway, the former quarterback great, but John Elway, the Broncos' football operations executive?
"I actually didn't know I was supposed to bring my gold jacket," Elway said after the 45-minute question-and-answer session with a select group of Raiders fans Thursday. "They just said, 'Show up,' so bringing my Hall of Fame coat didn't register."
The fans asked questions about players' safety. One fan said that because the players make so much money today, the $21,000 or $50,000 fines aren't registering. Goodell indicated that instead of fines, the league will be more liberal in levying suspensions.
"We have found that what really changes behavior is when you take the game away from them," Goodell said. "We're moving toward suspensions. And that causes coaches to coach the game differently."
The fans also asked about whether they believe the game is better today than it was when Madden was coaching and Elway, Lott and Long were playing.
"What's really impressed me is young players coming in and being ready to play early, especially quarterbacks," Madden said. "It used to be we'd say a young quarterback can't play for five, six, seven, years. You watch RG III (Robert Griffin III), you watch him come in and you go, 'What is all of this?' "
The players and coaches were asked to name their favorite moment during their playing days. Elway knew his audience.
"Just how difficult it was to come play here," said Elway, the Broncos' quarterback from 1983-98. "This is a place that as I'm sitting here, how nice it is knowing that I don't have to play a game tonight and how well I'll feel after this game (physically, compared to how) I normally did after playing the Oakland Raiders.
"The players come in here, and seeing all the outfits and to be able go down to that one end zone, I forget what you call it down there (the Black Hole), but the only time I went there is if we scored a touchdown. Otherwise, I stayed away from that one end."

According to reports, Tyler Arnason has signed a two-way contract with the Rangers. Steve Zipay had it in his blog. More details to follow.
Here's the official word:
New York, July 3, 2009 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has agreed to terms on a two-way contract with free agent forward Tyler Arnason.

Here's another big one:
New York, July 3, 2009 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has agreed to terms with free agent forward Corey Locke.
Locke, 25, skated in 77 games with the Houston Aeros of the American Hockey League (AHL) last season, registering 25 goals and 54 assists for 79 points, along with 60 penalty minutes. He established career-highs in assists and points.

The Toronto, Ontario native was originally Montreal's fourth round selection, 113th overall, in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft.
The Rangers also resigned P.A. Parenteau, who played in Hartford last season.

Anthony Yanez's first day at KPRC will be remembered for more than just a new job. The date was July 15, 2003, and Hurricane Claudette was blasting everywhere -- from Galveston to Palacios. He realized he wasn't in Albuquerque, N.M., anymore.
Gone were the days of forecasting mild, warm weather and endless sunshine. Welcome to Houston, a city of four million, where a forecaster has to deal with oppressive heat, severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes.
The work hours may seem odd, but Anthony loves his job. As the weekday morning meteorologist, Anthony wakes up at 2 a.m. He is into work at 3 a.m., and starting at 4:30 a.m., he's giving an hour-by-hour forecast to help you plan your day.
Anthony will soon be a published Children's Book Author. His book, It's A Wild Ride on the Water Cycle, will be out in the fall of 2014, published by Bright Sky Press. To get Anthony to visit your school, or if you'd like to schedule a book signing, e-mail him at email@example.com.
Anthony is also the president of the Houston Association of Hispanic Media Professionals. One of HAHMP's main objectives is providing Hispanic college scholarships for deserving students in Houston. Their Scholarship Gala is April 25, 2015 at the Hyatt Regency. For tickets click here.
Anthony holds the American Meteorological Society seal of approval for television weathercasting, as well as the National Weather Association seal, given to broadcast meteorologists who have shown competency and on-air performance skills that are above standard. He is the former president of the Houston AMS chapter. After the 2011 drought, he created a presentation about what caused the hot and dry year and shared his findings at the State Water Board Directors Conference in Dallas.
Born and raised in Albuquerque, N.M., Anthony is a University of New Mexico graduate. He earned his broadcast meteorology certificate from Mississippi State University.
Anthony has done it all in the news business: photography, editing, reporting, anchoring and even sports, but he found his true passion in weather.
Believe it or not, Anthony loves Houston humidity. While humidity doesn't make for the best outdoor work out weather, he loves the challenge. Anthony has done the BP MS-150, the Kemah Olympic Triathlon, and the Sugar Land Half Marathon all in the last two years.
He is an avid skier and in the winter, his favorite spots to visit are Taos, Purgatory, and Vail. And, he is also a certified open-water SCUBA diver.

A New York Blizzard
probably 1890
Childe Hassam, American, 1859-1935
Pastel on grey paper, 35 x 24 cm
Genre: American Art, Paintings
Location: Blue Room
Accession Number: P3w19
Signed lower left: Childe Hassam. N.Y.
In A New York Blizzard Childe Hassam evoked with vivid calligraphy a few well-dressed pedestrians buffeted by blowing snow. So hastily did he draw the scene that one can even imagine his working outdoors during a blizzard! This lively sheet signals Hassam's role as the principal American Impressionist interpreter of New York City, announces his command of the then popular pastel medium, and includes some of his favorite devices.
Born in Dorchester, Massachusetts, Hassam studied in Boston, worked as an illustrator, and by 1885 was painting urban scenes unprecedented in America. Following a path familiar to aspiring American artists, he went to Paris in 1886 and enrolled in the popular Académie Julian. More nourishing than formal study in Paris was Hassam's exposure there to a banquet of works by Academics, by conservative realists whose canvases had inspired his Boston cityscapes, and by Impressionists. Hassam was exceptional for his sympathy to Impressionism during the late 1880s; most of his compatriots would adopt the style only in the 1890s.
Rather than returning to Boston, Hassam settled in New York in 1890 and began a pattern of alternating winters in the city with summers in various New England locales. "I believe the man who will go down to posterity is the man who paints his own time and the scenes of every-day life around him," he insisted in 1892. Yet, confronting a bewildering time when agrarian values gave way to urbanization and industrialization, he portrayed urban and rural America as if through rose-colored glasses. In New York, for example, he ignored the new heterogeneity and hardships, romanticized symbols of modernism such as skyscrapers, and emphasized fast-fading Gilded Age gentility.
A New York Blizzard reiterates motifs that had appeared even in Hassam's earliest Boston scenes. Figures are challenged by, but do not suffer in the snow, which Hassam often depicted to soften sharp edges of buildings and muffle urban clatter. A nostalgic note is provided by the prominent gas lamp, a vestige of older technology that would soon give way to electricity. The monochromatic triad of silhouetted black coats and umbrellas, white snow, and gray paper suggests Hassam's interest in flat pattern and design, which accords with his selective — not journalistic — interpretation of "his own time."

Bill would ensure "dedicated" would no long be a misnomer for state fund
The Senate passed legislation this week that would require that the money in the state's Dedicated Highway and Bridge Trust Fund actually goes toward highway and bridge repairs. Currently, less than one-quarter of the $3.5 billion fund is spent on these areas. The rest pays for salaries and operational costs… Read More →

Dumbbell Bars with Collars for Iron Boots & Kettlebell Handles
These are not your run of the mill dumbbell bars from the sporting goods store!
Check out those dumbbell bars at the local Chinese import sporting goods store and you will see that they all have welded on, also called fixed, inside collars for the plates to slide up against. THESE BARS DON'T HAVE THAT WELDED ON COLLAR!
Welded on collars prevent you from using our Iron Boots and Kettlebell Handles. We did NOT come up with this idea. In the old days, there was no such thing as a welded on inside collar for dumbbell handles. That is a modern concept designed to make you purchase more expensive items, like leg machines, instead of a good pair of Iron Boots!
These bars work on every pair of antique iron boots we have seen, as well as the antique York and Weider Kettlebell Handles. Trust me, I have seen a lot of iron boot designs. Go ahead and buy your pair from eBay. Then get the rest of the parts from Atomic Athletic!
You get a pair of bars and 2 pair of collars with this set. You can also buy sets of our Classic Red Wrenchless Screw Collars from Atomic Athletic.
If the order you are placing includes this item, and the total combined freight is more than $28, we MAY be able to save you some cash. Freight quotes are a complicated thing and we may be able to get that total down for you. E-Mail your list of items to firstname.lastname@example.com, INCLUDING your full shipping address and phone number. We may need to speak with you about delivery details so a good time to talk may also be helpful.

First 5 LA
Champions for Our Children
Our Mission
First 5 LA's mission is to increase the number of Los Angeles County children ages 0 to 5 who are physically and emotionally healthy, ready to learn, and safe from harm.
We were established in 1998 after California voters approved Proposition 10, an effort to fund health, safety and early education programs for children prenatal to age 5 through revenue from tax on tobacco products. A local First 5 commission was created in each of the state's 58 counties to administer Proposition 10 funds, which are allocated based on each county's birth rate.
By investing more than one billion dollars from tobacco tax revenues in the last 12 years, First 5 LA has turned a negative habit into positive programs that benefit L.A. County's youngest kids. Our five core values - families, communities, results, learning and advocacy - guide us in building public support for targeted programs that address the needs of young children and their families.
Our Strategy
We serve as a grantmaker, community partner, trendsetter, change agent, facilitator, founder and catalyst. First 5 LA is committed to the well-being of children in our diverse communities. The First 5 LA 2009-2015 Strategic Plan (pdf) serves as a roadmap in helping us make a positive and lasting impact on expectant parents and children ages 0 to 5.

The Academic Procession -- Commencement 2009
As we prepare for our 114th Commencement on Sunday, May 17, 2009, I would like to provide you with some information regarding the academic procession.
The procession will form at 8:30 a.m. outside in the academic quad if the weather is nice, or inside the enclosed walkway beginning at Job Hall and extending through the Campus Center if it is raining. Please see below for information on forming the academic procession if Commencement is indoors.
The academic procession will begin at 9:15 a.m. and the Commencement ceremony will begin at 10:00 a.m. All guests will be encouraged to be seated by 9:00 a.m. The procession will be in the order noted below:
Order of Procession
- Faculty and Staff
- Graduate School
- School of Music
- School of Humanities and Sciences
- School of Health Sciences and Human Performance
- School of Business
- School of Communications
- Division of Interdisciplinary and International Studies
- Trustees/Platform
The trustee division will assemble in the board room, Job Hall, at 8:45 a.m. and proceed to the reviewing stand under the direction of the trustee marshals.
The faculty/staff division will line up next to the students outside of Job Hall and form a double line in random order under the direction of the faculty marshals. The faculty and staff will process in front of the students. Faculty and staff will pass the reviewing stand, proceed to the "chute" that leads into the stadium, and then line up on both sides of the chute so that all of the graduates will pass between the faculty and staff as they enter the stadium. Once all of the students have passed through, the faculty and staff will then process into the stadium in front of the platform party. Faculty and staff members should plan to provide their own umbrellas in the event of inclement weather.
The class division, consisting of members of the graduating class, will form in the academic quad area, or inside the enclosed hallway extending from Job Hall through to the Campus Center depending on the weather. Students from each school will form two abreast in random order. Each school will be headed by its marshals. Signs will indicate the locations of the respective schools. (If you wish to sit next to friends in your school, you should march with them.)
Severe Weather Plan
If severe weather is anticipated, the decision to use the severe weather plan will be made as early as possible. Information will be available by calling 274-3201 (the information desk) and announcements will be made on campus, on the Ithaca College website (www.ithaca.edu/commencement), and through local radio stations.
In an effort to accommodate seating for as many family members and guests as possible, the College will always attempt to hold the Commencement ceremony outdoors. In the case of severe weather in the morning, the outdoor ceremony will be postponed until 1:00 p.m. or 4:00 p.m., in hopes of a break in the weather. If the ceremony is held at 1:00 p.m., the receptions and diploma cover distribution will occur at the publicized locations after the ceremony, unless otherwise announced. If Commencement is held at 4:00 p.m., the receptions and diploma cover distribution will be held at 11:30 a.m., to serve as a light luncheon for graduates and their guests.
"Severe weather" is defined as conditions that make holding the Commencement ceremony outdoors dangerous or impossible. In the event that severe weather is predicted for the entire day, Commencement will be held in the Ben Light Gymnasium at 10:00 a.m. In this situation, only graduating students will be admitted because of space limitations. The procession will form in the basement of Hill Center. Graduates will need their cap and gown (which will serve as a ticket) to enter the Hill Center. Graduates will line-up beginning at 9:00 a.m. in the basement of Hill Center. The entrance for the graduates will be through the door facing the academic quad/Job Hall. Graduates will line up by school and will process into the gym when instructed to do so. Faculty and the platform party will take their seats immediately. Therefore, only graduates will walk in the processional into the gym. There will be a designated area for faculty for robing in the gymnasium.
The ceremony will be televised live on local cable channel 16. Those who wish to watch the cablecast from an on-campus location should go to one of the following viewing sites:
- Campus Center (various locations)*
- Ford Hall, Whalen Center*
- Park Hall Auditorium*
- TV lounges in all residence halls where guests are housed
- Textor Hall 101, 102, and 103
- Hockett Family Recital Hall, Whalen Center
- Iger Lecture Hall, Whalen Center*
*Recommended for the mobility-impaired
The ceremony will also be shown live on the web. It may be viewed by going to www.ithaca.edu beginning at 9:15 a.m. on Commencement day. Portions of the ceremony will also be available for later viewing on the web at www.ithaca.edu/commencement, beginning on the Wednesday following Commencement.
If Commencement is held indoors, sign-language interpretation will be provided in the Emerson Suites in the Campus Center. Receptions and diploma distribution will be held as scheduled.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact the Student Affairs and Campus Life Office at 607-274-3374 or reference the special Commencement website at www.ithaca.edu/commencement. We are looking forward to a memorable day!

Topic: ct scan on Monday
It's that time again. Ct and blood work on Monday. It will be 2.5 years after my resection.
Of course, I am nervous already. Prayers are appreciated.
I have been feeling well and have been having lots of fun. I just turned 34 a few days ago. I went to eastern Europe for 2 wks in September, so that was pretty great. I also went to San Diego over the summer and saw the zoo and Sea World. Lots of good trips and time with family and friends. I still work from home full time. I'm not on any medications.
I recently purchased a Vitamix, which is the best thing ever. For those of you who may be unfamiliar, it is a heavy duty blender and makes great smoothies. I wish I had it during treatment when my appetite was not so great.
I'll keep you all posted. Take care.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/4/2013 (1573 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I spotted a woman on the bus on the ride home who looked familiar. She must have felt me looking at her because she turned her head and stared right back at me. Then she smiled. It was an old girlfriend from high school behind a mask. By that I mean, her teeth were rotten and her face was a waxen yellowish colour. I felt this immense desire to turn my head and shut out the feelings. I used to be so in love with her but she dumped me in Grade 12 for a better-looking guy. At 30 I turned my life around, got an education and a career by age 37. I heard she got into drugs. So, there I was riding the bus home in my suit, and there she was waiting. She looked at me like she'd like to come over and I smiled and then looked right out the bus window. She would think I was being snobby but I had tears in my eyes. She may have been homeless, or next thing to it. I know I hurt her. She had her head way down when I passed her and exited the bus. What should I have done? -- The Jerk, South St. Vital
Dear Feeling: When you feel awkward, avoidance isn't the answer. You needed to stand up and act. Kindness, not heroics, is all you're going for. You should have said hi and a few words. You could have moved right over and had a few minutes conversation and totally overlooked the differences in your two situations. Your bus stop or hers would have come soon enough, and you could have wished her well. If she was in desperate straits and asked you for a few bucks you could have give her that and more, and wished her well. You would have felt better for it and she might have given you a gift back; she might have apologized for hurting you in high school.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I come from a wealthy Winnipeg family. Men know about me and my family's big business. I am sick and tired of being judged that way. Sometimes I just want to go somewhere where nobody knows me. My dad says I can go to any university I want. Should I stay here with the family, or go away to school? -- Graduating in June, Winnipeg
Dear Graduating: The next five or so years are significant dating and mating years for you, and your instincts are right. Go away where you can grow up and meet people on a level playing field. Living in residence at a university in a difference province would mean you'd be living with people from all walks of life. Some might have part-time jobs and be scraping by while some might be well-to-do, even minor royals from exotic countries. You can always come back to Winnipeg to take part in the family business if you wish, at a later date. Now is the perfect time to be anonymous, at a place where people judge you for your character and personality, period.

Central, Douma cruises to men's basketball debut win
PELLA—Central College raced to 15-4 lead and never relinquished it, making Craig Douma a winner in his first collegiate debut Thursday with a 96-82 win over Monmouth College (Ill.).
Forward Matt Greenfield (junior, Huxley, Ballard HS) had a game-high 31 points while guard Branden Stubbs (junior, Pleasant Hill, Des Moines Christian HS) had 21. Guard Nick Marinkovich (senior, Clarendon Hills, Ill., Hinsdale Central HS) had 17 points and center Jacob Winkler (senior, Lancaster, Mo., Schuyler R-1 HS) had 11.
The Dutch shot 55 percent from the floor, including 31.3 percent from 3-point range, and jumped to a 47-30 halftime lead.
"We ran the floor and had them really tired," Douma said. "Our transition game was outstanding tonight."
Monmouth whittled Central's lead to seven points in the last three minutes, but the Dutch knocked down 6-of-6 free throws to secure the win.
"We shot free throws well down the stretch," Douma said. "But I wasn't happy with our defense. It was a game at the end because we didn't rebound."
Greenfield added 11 rebounds for his first career double-double. He made 12-of-16 field goals (75 percent) and was 6-of-6 at the free-throw line.
"Matt had a heck of a game," Douma said. "He created a mismatch all night and our players got the ball to him. He finished around the basket and hit some big shots under pressure."
Stubbs had eight assists and Winkler had six.
"Branden did a lot of good things for us in his first time out," Douma said. "He kind of ran the show the first half."
Central had contributions from 12 players. Douma noted center Spencer Bakerink (junior, Creston), who had six rebounds.
"He came in and stabilized us when we weren't rebounding well," Douma said. "Those were key minutes off the bench."
Central outrebounded Monmouth 38-31. The Fighting Scots shot 44.4 percent from the floor.
"It was a good start for us but there are things to work on," Douma said.
Central meets Fontbonne University (Mo.) Saturday at 3 p.m. at P.H. Kuyper Gymnasium in Pella.

Compliance Requirements for 2013.Saturday, November 10th, 2012
Over the past few years the printed circuit board industry has had numerous regulatory and compliance initiatives forced upon it. Some of these may have been well intentioned but the unintended results have yet to be realized. For example, many of us are familiar with RoHS, Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. The directive restricts the use of several substances by manufacturers. The only substance restriction that really affected the printed circuit board industry was Lead. Tin-Lead solder was used in the industry for decades. RoHS sought to remove Lead from the electronics industry. Many people recall how harmful Lead in gasoline and paint proved to be to both the environment and the human condition. Removing Lead from electronics would sound like a good idea. Right? (more…)

SEC's Top 25 players: No. 3 Anthony Johnson
Published: Tuesday, July 23, 2013 at 12:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 22, 2013 at 3:24 p.m.
No. 3 Anthony Johnson
Position: Defensive tackle
School: LSU
Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 296 pounds
Year: Junior
Why he's No. 3: Johnson will be counted on to take on more of a leadership role on LSU's defensive line in 2013. Nicknamed "the freak", Johnson has excellent speed for an interior defensive lineman (4.7 seconds in the 40-yard dash), which helps him get to the quarterback. Of his 42 career tackles, 13 were tackles for loss, including four sacks. The LSU coaching staff is confident this season that Johnson will live up to the promise he displayed as a consensus top defensive tackle recruit coming out of high school. Johnson has lost 40 pounds since his freshman season, which should make him more mobile and agile.
