JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. - Fourth of July fireworks will be back at Jacksonville Beach this year.
Last year, the city canceled its annual fireworks show, and community members and business owners were upset about it.
"Fourth of July is always a really good time for the beaches, people riding their bikes up and down the strip, so it will be pretty fun," said Alexander Recci, who works at Off the Hook restaurant.
Beach businesses are looking forward to the money-making holiday.
"It brings in a lot of foot traffic, which is great for the businesses, and it really increases the popularity of the beach," Recci said. "The locals here, we love it, you know."
Jacksonville Beach Mayor Charlie Latham knows it's a big money-maker for business owners.
"There's no question," he said. "I think last year when we didn't have fireworks, one of the primary complaints of businesses is they felt like they lost a large portion of annual revenue. And they're very excited, obviously."
The Jacksonville Beach City Council voted 6-1 to reinstate the fireworks. Although it passed, there are some concerns.
"Last time we had the fireworks was two years ago," Latham said. "The amount of people when they came into Jacksonville Beach was really too many for the local Police Department to safely ensure everybody."
A 20-minute fireworks show will cost the city $25,000, plus security. Latham said price isn't the main concern though. The biggest worry is the behavior of the people attending.
"Be on their best behavior," Latham said. "Let's all cooperate together so we can celebrate and not turn it into a drunk fest and a firework show. We want it to be a true patriotic celebration."
The mayor said this July celebration will serve as a test of what's to come.
"I want to emphasize this year is really going to be kind of a prototype," he said. "We're going to try again, and it's not a guarantee it's going to happen every year."
The City Council also approved a family-friendly Fourth of July celebration to take place before the fireworks at the Seawalk Pavilion from 4-9 p.m.

Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 22 (IANS) In a first, three road shows are being organised in major cities of the United States as Kerala Tourism enters the American market.
The first show was held in New York Monday with the second in Chicago Tuesday and the last one scheduled in Los Angeles Thursday.
"The United States is the fourth major market for Kerala Tourism after Britain, France and Germany," said Tourism Minister A.P. Anilkumar, leading a delegation of government and industry representatives.
"An increase in visitor arrival from the world's biggest economy will be significant for tourism growth in the state," he added.
Minister of State for External Affairs Preneet Kaur attended the New York road show in which 58 US travel and tourism trade sector members participated. India's consul general in New York Dnyaneshwar M. Mulay also attended.
The highlight of the event was a presentation of the state's top tourist attractions by Kerala Tourism secretary Suman Billa.
"Americans are one of the top global travellers and therefore, it is only logical that Kerala Tourism is making inroads into the vast market offered by the US," said Billa.
A Mohiniyattam (classical dance form from the state) performance on the occasion gave a peep into the traditions and culture of Kerala.
The state witnessed a rise in US tourist footfalls (57,807) last year, up from 55,741 in 2011.
Air India is sponsoring free economy class round trip tickets for the winners of lucky draws being held at each road show venue.
The winners also get a free 10-day holiday in Kerala.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/3/2013 (1624 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Now that Brett Cameron has signed with the local football team his dad played 23 years for, I would not want to be the other punter attending training camp, incumbent or otherwise.
Actually, I would never want to go into training camp as a punter, under any conditions, but that is not the point of this diatribe.
The point is, even though Mike Renaud has been a three-year starter with the club, and a divisional all-star for one of those years, I would put him at a marked disadvantage once training camp starts for a number of reasons.
First and foremost is Brett Cameron is a legacy pledge to a fraternity of punter icons. His father is not only the greatest punter to ever play for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, but in CFL history, and that has its advantages.
There is no scenario, no wind condition, no set of circumstances Bob didn't successfully navigate in his two decades of service, and that knowledge is a tremendous resource for his son to tap into.
Furthermore, having the son of the greatest punter of all time on the roster is a huge potential windfall for the football team, both from a marketing and public relations standpoint. I'm not sure to what extent, if any, the business side of the football club has influence over the operations side, but they have to be crossing their fingers for this kid to make the team.
I would bet dollars to donuts brand manager Jeffrey Bannon started drooling about the father-son cross-promotional possibilities once the signing was announced. First the Muamba brothers landed on his doorstep and now he has the son of a punter icon, playing the same position and wearing the same number as Dad, at his disposal.
I can see the 2013 slogan for the Winnipeg Football Club taking shape right now: "Blood is thicker than water."
Cameron jerseys now have twice as much significance as they used to, and the Father's Day specials at the Bomber store should be something to behold.
To boot, Brett will also have the home-court advantage and goodwill from the fans as a local product who grew up around the team and made good, which should cover for any transitional growing pains he may have.
Less obvious or talked about, but just as advantageous though, is the fact Brett's dad is as high up on the Bomber food chain as it gets. While I would never suggest Bob Cameron would even contemplate trying to influence a coach or general manager into keeping his son on the team unless he fully earned it, you cannot ignore the fact Brett is essentially the son of one of the bosses of the team.
As a player, your tenure is presided over by the coach and general manager (Tim Burke and Joe Mack), who are governed by the CEO (Garth Buchko), who reports to the board of directors, where Bob Cameron sits among others.
While the board is not around the team on a daily basis, it is not unheard of for a member of this group to request an audience with a coach or manager for clarity on any number of issues.
We are all hard-wired with instincts of self-preservation and no matter how many public assurances are made, it certainly never hurts your employment futures to keep your boss's boss happy.
On or off of the field, I never spent much time watching the specialists of the special teams battle it out for roster spots but things just got more interesting in a hurry.
If all things are equal on the field of play between Brett Cameron and Mike Renaud, there is no chance Renaud retains his job as a punter for this football team.
He doesn't just have to fend off another annoying rookie who is younger and exponentially cheaper when camp opens in June. He has to beat out Bob Cameron's son, and everything that comes with it, and that is saying something.

U.S. News & World Report Again Ranks Ithaca Among Americas Best Colleges
ITHACA, NY—Ithaca College has once again been ranked among the top colleges and universities of its kind by U.S. News & World Report. In its just-released "Best Colleges" list for 2014, Ithaca is in the #8 spot in the North in the category of regional universities.
Also among similar institutions in the North, the magazine has ranked Ithaca at #13 in its "great schools, great prices" listing of those that offer a quality education at an affordable cost, and at #4 for "best undergraduate teaching."
"If we were to be in only one ranking category, I think that's the one we would want," said Ithaca College President Tom Rochon of the #4 listing, which identifies schools where the faculty has an unusually strong commitment to undergraduate teaching. "While we rightly pride ourselves on the full range of opportunities our students can take advantage of both inside and outside of the classroom, it is the basic student-teacher relationship that remains at the core of what we do, and it is gratifying to have confirmation that we do it so well."
This is the 19th straight year that Ithaca College has been placed in the top 15 in U.S. News & World Reports' annual "Best Colleges" issue. The rankings are based on peer assessment, graduation and retention rates, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources, graduation rate performance and alumni giving.
U.S. News & World Report lists Ithaca College in the "best regional universities" category, which includes institutions that provide a full range of undergraduate majors and master's degree programs but few, if any, doctoral programs (Ithaca College offers one doctoral program). The 621 institutions in this category are not ranked nationally but rather against their peer group in one of four geographic regions — North, South, Midwest and West.

I came across this interesting book on the Find My Past Australasian website, "New Zealand Emigration & Gold Fields" by George Butler Earp, published in 1853 by George Routledge & co. I can just image some of our ancestors being seduced by the lure of gold and snapping up this book when newly printed !
The book covers such subjects as children being an asset in the new colony, over coming a reluctance to emigrate, reports from the various gold diggings and the use of capital in NZ which would be too small to be of any use in England. When tracing our family trees it is easy to concentrate on adding more and more ancestors and forgetting to get to know the ones that we already have. This book is a good example of background material that adds understanding and colour to our ancestors lives.

By Edward Cody
PARIS — A French prosecutor has ordered a preliminary investigation into whether Dominique Strauss-Kahn, former head of the International Monetary Fund and once a leading candidate to become president of France, participated in gang rape at a sex party he is accused of helping to organize in a Washington hotel.
The announcement on Monday from prosecutor Frederic Fevre in the northern French city of Lille added another sulfurous allegation of illicit sex to a list that has torpedoed Strauss-Kahn's once-bright political future and made him an undesirable outcast whose very presence is politically embarrassing to his former colleagues in the Socialist Party.
Strauss-Kahn, 63, was charged by Fevre on March 26 with helping procure prostitutes for a number of sex parties in France and the United States. The gatherings included a December 2010 party at the W Hotel in Washington. On Monday, Fevre said authorities are now also investigating accusations that Strauss-Kahn committed gang rape, allegedly sodomizing a prostitute while a friend of his held her down.

Turkey's bid to join the European Union is expected to make a little progress today. I stress "a little". In most respects, the cause of Turkish membership of the EU is in worse shape than at any time since EU governments recognised Turkey as an official candidate in 2004.
The progress, minimal though it is, takes the form of an agreement by the EU and Turkey to open formal talks on food security. This is one of the 35 chapters, or policy areas, that a country must complete before it can join the EU. It means that Turkey will have opened 13 chapters in total. Of these, however, only one chapter has been closed. If this is progress, the snail is king of the race track. Read more

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The seventh-ranked Saint Leo University women's tennis team advanced in the NCAA Tournament courtesy of a thrilling 5-3 victory over No. 26 Florida Southern on Monday morning. The Lions will now play for the South Region 2 Championship against West Florida on Tuesday morning.
"Today was one of those days when you think is this really happening," Head Coach James Bryce said of the victory. "The girls responded excellent today after this morning's event and showed what true competitors they really are. We had a couple of big wins at No. 1 doubles and No. 1 singles today which made the difference. We know we have to play well tomorrow and execute in key moments. The girls have been preparing for this all season and are ready to play."
It was an unusual match from the warm ups as Saint Leo (18-5) saw an injury force Coach Bryce to alter his lineup, giving the visiting Moccasins a point before the first ball was served. Saint Leo responded in doubles play, sweeping through pairs action.
As the Lions moved into singles holding a 3-1 advantage with No. 6 singles already defaulted in Florida Southern's (16-8) favor, Emily Singleton quickly claimed a straight-sets win a No. 4 to put the Lions within a lone point of the match win.
Florida Southern would rally with the match on the line as Nos. 2 and 5 singles quickly fell in their favor. In a matter of a few minutes, the Lions saw their lead whittled down to 4-3 with two matches still in the balance.
With the nerves on edge and Coach Bryce keeping a close eye on both No. 1 and No. 3 singles, Pauline Helgesson used some clutch shots down the line to pull out the 7-5 tiebreak victory in the second set. Helgesson's win, with Maria Benkirane holding the advantage at No. 3 sent the Saint Leo fans into a frenzy and pushed the Lions' women into the Championship Match.
The Lions will be tested once again in less than 24 hours as Saint Leo will face No. 9 West Florida in the South Region 2 Championship Match at 9:30 a.m.

Solomon R. Guggenheim Store: Penguin Talk Mobile
The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum is my favorite, from the outside right on in to the highest landing. (Visiting its sister museums in Venice, Bilbao, Berlin and Abu Dhabi are on my bucket list.) In the meantime, I discovered this delightful mobile which could have been inspired by "Happy Feet 2" or one of the several Alexander Calder designs owned by the Museum. Either way, this black and white treasure is for the kids, the kids-to-be and the kids-at-heart.

I dont understand the need for all these social networking sites. my space, facebook, google+, twitter, the list seems to go on and on. my space essentially died, and facebook is now the king, at some point something will supersede that.
I "guess" i can understand the reason for all of them for the exception of twitter. I just logged into my account to actually use it, and i have spam twitter posts, and i am apparently following like 800 people, when i remember only following 4. I dont know about you, but i dont feel the need is so important to find out what the latest thing some famous dude said in the past hour, etc. Especially if it involves clicking "unfollow" for 800 spam post followings.
Maybe i am just getting old, coming up on my 30's.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/5/2013 (1561 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Relaxed is not a way Rick Forney has often been described in his seven-plus years managing the Winnipeg Goldeyes. Funny what a championship will do.
Smiling, gracious and at ease on the cusp of jamming 100 baseball games into 109 days, Forney had the look of a champion about him as he settled into his office last week.
Self-satisfied? Perhaps, but a winner deserves as much. Any less hungry? We shall see but I doubt it. In fact, the general glow of winning sits well on Forney and one might be right in assuming he'd just as well like to keep it around for a while.
"I've finally conquered this battle. You never know until you do it. You always question if you're doing things the right way. A couple of years ago I finally decided as long as I do my job to the best of my abilities and treat people fairly and the way I would want to be treated, at the end of the day things would work out," said Forney in an hour-long chat with the Free Press prior to hitting the road for exhibition action and the beginning of the Goldeyes' regular season in Grand Prairie, Texas on Friday.
"I hope to repeat. I've been hoping to win for a number of years. Every year the goal is the same, to qualify for the playoffs and hopefully that leads to a championship. It's difficult to do. I think, on paper we're good enough to go out and win but we have a lot of baseball games to play in a short amount of time and anything can happen. I respect the process we have to go through in order to play some meaningful baseball in September. The first five minutes of my speech to the players in the clubhouse before we hit the field were all about that. What the goals and objectives are here. We make it perfectly clear what we expect on a daily basis."
The manager's office at Shaw Park hasn't changed much since Hal Lanier moved in during the summer of 1999. A couch, a fridge, a desk and bare cinder-block walls but for a few pictures.
Lanier sat behind the desk until the end of the 2005 season and then Forney moved in. The pictures on the walls changed to framed newspaper articles announcing Forney's hiring. Now they're being shifted to less prominent spots to make room for stories describing the Goldeyes' run to the American Association championship last fall.
Another change is the ring that now sits on Forney's hand.
"They did a nice job, didn't they? I'm still having a lot of fun putting it on each day. I like looking at it," said the 41-year-old husband and father of four. "I think because it took me so long to get one of these things, I think 22 years in professional baseball and missed the playoffs just four times and been in the finals eight or nine times and never won. Maybe I wouldn't appreciate the one I have now if I had five others on my hand. But it's certainly a pretty nice piece."
Forney's championship was only the second in Goldeyes history with the first coming way back in 1994 under manager Doug Simunic. Tradition had become returning to Winnipeg each spring to rehash the heartbreak of the previous fall. So many playoff appearances turned into sombre locker-room scenes with players and coaches attempting to explain what when wrong.
Forney is enjoying this new version of "what happened last year."
"It's strange. Different. Every year you come back to camp and you seem to be still answering questions about the previous season and the letdown and things like that," he said. "I'm still answering questions about last year but the questions seem to be more enjoyable to answer. It's much different this time around."
Forney isn't afraid to reflect on last season and while most of the memories are sweet he also is reminded of a colleague lacking the class the rest of his fraternity showed him.
"I got congratulatory texts and phone calls from every manager in the league but one," said Forney. "I'm not going to tell you who it was but you can guess. I'll say it wasn't Doug because some people might leap to that conclusion because of the rivalry between Winnipeg and Fargo. But Doug has class. He was one of the first to call me."
With that, we'll let the baseball begin because Forney and his players will soon need to set the good memories aside and worry about the games in front of them.

Wild Country Recalls Helium Carabiner31-Dec-2012
Wild Country is issuing a voluntary recall on certain batches of Helium carabiners delivered after July 15, 2012 and quickdraws that include these carabiners. The wire gate on these carabiners may not engage the nose hook, reducing the carabiner's gate-closed strength. Wild Country asks that if you purchased any Helium carabiners after July 15 that you stop using them immediately. You can find the info on how to identify and return defective carabiners here.

Uptown Girl Designs is one of our fabulous Paperie Guide companies, and we love owner Kristina Hansen! She is a wife, mom, and paper lover! Her favorite paper goodies to design? Anything for parties, of course! As Kristina says, "From the simplest of backyard bbq's to the swankiest of soirees, we can create the perfect invitation to set the tone for any party or event." What I love about Uptown Girl Designs is that almost 90% of her work is completely custom! Whether it's a baby shower invitation or a photo card for the holidays, the design is 100% unique and true to your style! Her most popular are for 1st birthdays, and she even did the 1st birthday invite called Bel Fiore for Teresa Giuidice from Real Housewives of New Jersey! Super cool!
The gumball birthday invite below still stands as one of my all time favorite invitations! How darling?! It's perfect for boys and girls so great for a dual birthday party! And want anything tweaked? Uptown Girl Designs can custom design it for you!
About Kristina
We wanted to know a bit more about the cute designer behind Uptown Girl Designs! Here is what we discovered….
"I'm a Jersey girl with an affinity for the term "y'all" that comes from living in the Atlanta for 7 years. I'm married to my best friend Tim who makes me laugh and feel loved more and more every day we are together. I'm a mom to the sunniest, sweetest, smartest, sassiest, and prettiest little gal, Gabby. My daughter is my inspiration for Uptown Girl Designs. It started when she was born and I wanted a modern and chic birth announcement. They were hard to come by. Everything seemed so generic. I eventually did find something but during the her first year I started designing my own cards for her events. It didn't take long for me to realize what wanted to do. I had always dreamed of being my own boss. I was tired of "working for the man". I decided in early 2007 to work towards starting my own company. Tim was 110% supportive, as he remains today. Gabby remains my inspiration for Uptown Girl Designs. I want her to see what can be accomplished with hard work. To never give up. To dream big and hope for more."

Just a couple of notes on the latest additions:
I gather you copied the beginning text of your Chaha page from some text you'd already written for Silt'e. In the second sentence of the first paragraph, you still have "Silt'e" where you (I assume) had intended to replace it with "Chaha".
I don't know what it really adds to your presentation for Chaha, but you might be interested to know that "Sebat Bet Gurage" means the "Seven Gurage Houses" referring to the seven recognised groups that make up the Gurage.
It's true that Chakma script developed from Brahmi, but it's also very clear that it is most closely related to Burmese script and their common ancestor Mon, then to Kawi of Indonesia (and its two descendants Javanese-Balinese and Sundanese) and then to the Khmer-Thai group. All of these descend ultimately from Pallava script (most likely a simple, non-monumental variety) introduced from Southeast India with Buddhism and by that token, their closest Indian relatives are the Telugu and Kannada scripts.

RYAN Aldridge believes everyone involved with Swindon Wildcats should be beaming with pride after Stevie Lyle and Aaron Nell were named in the Great Britain's World Championship squad.
Lyle and Nell were both named in Doug Christiansen's squad on Tuesday for the tournament in Lithuania in April, which will be cut from the 35 players to 23 before the start of the competition.
The Wildcats duo were the only EPL players selected in the squad leaving Aldridge both proud and delighted, if not overly surprised, at the recognition his players have received.
"Stevie is a top goalkeeper and he proves that for us on a regular basis so it makes sense for him to be in there because he has the most experience of the GB goalies," he said.
"Aaron was obviously in there last year too but it's great for him to be in there fighting for the spot. They both deserve it to be there.
"To have a homegrown player in the GB squad is great for us because we probably haven't had one since the days of Neil Liddiard and Mark Richardson. Getting players in there is a hard one to crack.
"We're all really proud of what they've done and hopefully we will be seeing them play at the World Championships."
Wildcats only have one game this weekend, at home to Bracknell on Saturday, before a midweek clash with Milton Keynes at the Link Centre on Wednesday.
"I would probably rather be playing on Sunday night rather than Wednesday to be honest but we have to play what's in front of us," Aldridge said.
"It's a bit awkward but we will get on with it.
"Bracknell are tough and can come into our building and cause a storm so we need to be ready even though we have a good record against them.
"We have a few niggling injuries right now but they should be fine for the weekend and there's nothing to worry about."
The first 1,000 fans through the gate for Saturday night's game will be handed a free red glow stick in a bid to turn the rink red before face-off.

Every detail in a Walls product from the fabric to the construction is designed to benefit the user, whether in the work place or in the field. From the ranch, to the oil field, to the duck blind, Walls' products are created by people that truly understand the working environment and believe in what they're doing. That's the foundation of the Walls culture.

CARE Video Projects
The CARE program is fortunate to be able to carry on a number of extra activities this year, thanks to a special grant award from the National Endowment for the Arts. One of our favorite projects as part of this grant is to produce four videos about the collections of the CARE arts partners. The purpose of the videos, which feature two students as the hosts, is to be a teaching tool in the classroom for introducing many more students and teachers to the artwork and objects we use on a regular basis through our exhibitions, performances, and other educational programs. We realize that one of the biggest barriers to bringing students to our institutions is the issue and cost of transportation, so we hope these videos provide a special glimpse into our world while eliminating some of the obstacles that so often prevent participation.
The first CARE partner to produce a video will be the Museum of Photographic Arts. MOPA will feature a beautiful image from their collection by California photographer, Byron Wolfe. Byron is considered a friend of the museum because of how open and willing he is to share his work not only with the museum but with the broadest possible audience. Byron completed a project in 2003 where he photographed objects and scenes everyday for one year. This project resulted in a collection of some of the most simple yet stunning images of everyday objects. The students in the video, along with museum educator, Lori Sokolowski, explore his work and consider the topic of beauty in the mundane. We look forward to launching these videos in the next couple of months and hope you will stay tuned!
For questions about the CARE program at MOPA, please contact Julie Kendig at email@example.com or 619-238-7559 ext. 221.

Why does someone dislike an object and regard it as worthless? Someone living in a mansion, for instance, may not like an apartment and may criticize the décor. Yet an apartment block will seem like a palace for anyone who lives in a hovel, under much worse conditions.
Why does a person not admire someone else's intelligence? Because he believes himself to be far more intelligent. Why does a person not enjoy someone else's ideas? Because he has much better ones. Why does a person not value someone else's profession? Because he imagines that he possesses far greater abilities. Not liking things, therefore, generally means that one possesses a better version of them.
Therefore, those who wish to give the impression that they possess the best of everything never much care for anything. Even if they do like something, they never admit it and always try to find some fault to criticize. For example, someone who accompanies friends to a high-class restaurant will always look for something wrong with the food, or the décor, or the behavior of the waiters, even though he has never been to such a high-class restaurant all his life. He will imply that he's eaten in far superior places by offering such criticisms as "I didn't think the food was all that good. The view was very poor, and how did they do such decoration? It was distressing."
Whenever young girls see a more attractive rival, they always look for flaws to emphasize their own superiority. A girl who admires her own hair, if she sees someone with even prettier hair, will make criticisms like "Look at her hair, that style really doesn't suit her, and it looks a bit thin." When a tall girl sees another prettier, but slightly shorter girl, she will immediately seek to belittle her by saying how short she is.
Due to that mistaken mindset in ignorant societies, you'll never hear anyone praising anyone whom they perceive to be superior, more intelligent, attractive or talented. It is next to impossible to see a newspaper commentator praising other newsmen of roughly the same age, praising them as more intelligent, or saying that their analyses are more accurate than his own. It's equally rare for any artist to esteem another artist whom he regards as enjoying the same standing, or to admit that the other artist is more beautiful and talented. Rather, one generally sees fierce criticism raging between such people. For instance, one psychologist will not like the methods employed by another. A dietician will criticize the methods used by another dietician, and a television presenter will always find something to criticize in his rivals.

Water GlassesScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
If boiling water is poured into a thick drinking glass as well as a very thin wine glass, of the two, which is more likely to crack? Explain.
AnswerSurprisingly enough, the thick glass is more likely to crack since glass is a poor conductor of heat. In a thin glass, the heat passes more quickly from the glass into the surrounding air, causing the glass to expand equally. When hot water is poured into a thick glass, the inner surface expands, but the outer surface does not. It is this extreme stress on the glass that causes it to crack.

HOUSTON - Most people don't associate skin cancer with kids, but now doctors are diagnosing more and more children with the condition.
They're finding basal cell carcinoma and melanoma in teens and children as young as 10 years old.
Doctors aren't sure why this is suddenly cropping up, but they believe genetics and ultraviolet light exposure are playing a big role.
"It's not something you think that you're going to be told that your 11-year-old has beginning stage melanoma," mother Melissa Cummins said. "I was sick. I actually dropped down and couldn't talk on the phone."
While Cummins' family spends a lot of time outdoors, she said she was vigilant about skin protection.
"They were not outside without hats, bonnets as babies, sunscreen always gets put on to the point that my boys fuss at me," she said.
Doctors agree that skin cancer at such a young age is still uncommon, but the numbers are increasing at an alarming rate.
Dr. Bernard Cohen is a pediatric dermatologist. He said 10 years ago he never saw skin cancer in a child, but now he's seeing a few cases a year.
"Commensurate with the adult skin cancer epidemic, children are not that far behind. Clearly, people are spending more time out in the sun and getting sun exposure and kids are getting a ton of sun exposure early in life," Cohen said.
It's not just melanoma on the rise. Cohen said, he's seeing more incidents of less serious basal and squamous cell carcinoma cancers as well.
For example, the chance of recurrence after a melanoma can be as high as 50 percent, but Cohen worries that in a child who has years and years left to live, that chance could be much higher.
Dermatologists said pediatricians should be doing skin checks as part of a child's overall check-up. The earlier doctors can find skin cancer, the more successful the treatment.

About the Accreditation Process
Accreditation Process
Colleges are granted accreditation when they meet or surpass stated standards of educational quality. De Anza College is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, 10 Commercial Blvd., Suite 204, Novato, CA 94949, 415.506.0234, an institutional accrediting body recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation and the U.S. Department of Education.
Accreditation is important because it certifies to the public, students and our employees that De Anza is fulfilling its mission and goals to maintain the best practices in higher education, recognized at local, state and national levels. It certifies that De Anza has:
The primary purpose of an ACCJC-accredited institution is to foster learning in its students. An effective institution ensures that its resources and processes support student learning, continuously assesses that learning, and pursues institutional excellence and improvement. An effective institution maintains an ongoing, self- reflective dialogue about its quality and improvement.
During the process of accreditation, De Anza conducts a Self-Study. The last Self-Study was completed in 2011. Teams comprised of faculty, staff, administrators and students ask questions such as:
With honesty, energy and commitment from all the self-study teams, we collect information on the changes that have occurred on our campus, document how well we have met our goals, determine where we need to improve, and prepare ourselves for the future.
The self-study is just one of the elements for accreditation. De Anza also publishes an official report on this self-evaluation, hosts onsite visits from a commission evaluation team, and receives recommendations for action.An institution-wide dialogue must be at the heart of the self-evaluation process for the college community to gain a comprehensive perspective of the institution. Although the standards are presented in four parts, they work together to facilitate this dialogue on the institution's effectiveness and on ways in which it may improve. The self study provides the Commission with the institution's assessment of itself as a whole.
The institutional mission provides the impetus for achieving student learning and other goals that the institution endeavors to accomplish. The institution provides the means for students to learn, assesses how well learning is occurring, and strives to improve that learning through ongoing, systematic, and integrated planning (Standard I). Instructional programs, student support services, and library and learning support services facilitate the achievement of the institution's stated student learning outcomes (Standard II). Human, physical, technology, and financial resources enable these programs and services to function and improve (Standard III). Ethical and effective leadership throughout the organization guides the accomplishment of the mission and supports institutional effectiveness and improvement (Standard IV).

BABSON PARK, Fla. - The Saint Leo women's soccer team (1-1) dropped a 3-1, non-region decision to Webber International University, Monday afternoon from Lake Wales, Fla.
In the contest, Ari Foreman notched her second goal of the season, but three unanswered Warriors' goals in the second half put Saint Leo on the wrong end of the 3-1 outcome.
Foreman struck early for Saint Leo as her blast, off the feed from Rosie Kmita, put the Green and Gold up 1-0. Still, despite the early offensive production, Saint Leo could only collect two more shots on target over the next 39 minutes.
Three minutes out of the halftime break, Webber managed to knot the game one goal apiece. The tied match soon turned in favor of the Warriors as an Ashley Palmer header in the 55th eventually proved to be the difference.
The Lions attempted to find the equalizer late in the match, but only one of Saint Leo's four second half shots were on goal. A Warriors' corner kick connection wrapped-up the scoring for Webber in the 85th minute.
In goal, Jessica Griffith logged all 90 minutes of action in net for the Lions while collecting six saves.
Overall, Webber controlled the offensive pace as they outshot Saint Leo, 14-9. The Lions, on the other hand, managed five more corners, 8-3.
Up next, Saint Leo will head to Georgia for a two-match swing. Leading off the road trip will be a date with in-region foe Tusculum from Milledgeville, Ga. Kickoff is slated for 5 p.m.

text: Between 1884 and 1948, the United States Navy designated "watertender" as a petty officer in charge of the fires and boilers in the engine room of a ship. Since many of the Navy's ships during those years were coal-fired and steam-powered, the watertender had important and dangerous tasks. Born in Ireland, John King, who received the Medal of Honor twice in his naval career, began as a coal passer in Vermont. After a stint in the boiler rooms of naval ships utilized in the Spanish-American, King was assisting in the Philippine-American War when he displayed "extraordinary heroism in the line of his profession" during a boiler accident onboard the U.S.S. Vicksburg (propelled by a triple expansion steam engine) in 1901. King's second commendation came while he was a watertender on the U.S.S. Salem, a new warship propelled by turbine engines and first launched in 1907. As the Medal of Honor citation reads, King demonstrated "extraordinary heroism" while tending to a boiler explosion on September 13, 1909. The following month King was swiftly promoted to Chief Watertender. He served until 1916, but he returned to service at sea during World War I until August 1919.

a $200 price tag, the DFI LanParty UT RDX200 is almost double the price of the original ATI Crossfire motherboard roadmap predictions. MSI and Gigabyte also have Crossfire boards slated for immediate release, so perhaps we will see more price adjustments here.
Does that mean that we'll soon be seeing sub $100 ATi boards?
Wow! I'm definately buying one if that's the case.
Btw, dual x16 slots are overrated. Will it be possible to use a x1 or x4 card in a x16 slot? Reply

vailr - Friday, November 04, 2005 - linkJust curious: has Apple made a determination yet, which company will be making their new Intel CPU based motherboards? Has the chipset been pre-determined as being "Intel only", or could NVIDIA, ULi, ATI or VIA chipsets still be a possibility for Apple's new x86 CPU based architecture?
That is: the official Apple products, to be released in 2006. Reply
BigLan - Thursday, November 03, 2005 - linkDoes this comment mean that nvidia have stopped working on intel boards? If so, when did this happen?
"When NVIDIA was still on board with Intel, 975X Yonah would have meant an SLI Pentium M desktop, but now it looks like we'll just have to settle for a Crossfire MOD board instead." Reply
KristopherKubicki - Thursday, November 03, 2005 - linkNo. NVIDIA is actually going to get more agressive with Intel boards. It just means there won't be any Yonah based SLI motherboards except the one ECS is working on -- that we know of anyway....
Kristopher Reply
stmok - Thursday, November 03, 2005 - linkASRock had a few other unique products on display, including those wonderful ULi based boards. The yellow riser on this motherboard is actually for a Socket 754 expansion card. ASRock also had M2 socket kits available, but since M2 will require DDR2, we weren't exactly sure how that riser would work.
How it works is: the Northbridge, CPU and DDR2 memory slots will be on the CPU upgrade
card. The jumpers will tell the mobo to use the stuff on the CPU upgrade card.
Think of the jumpers as a junction thingie on train tracks, a flick on a switch will
shift you to the next line over.
So all you do is...
(1) Buy an ASRock mobo now (on with the CPU upgrade slot...The yellow slot)
(2) When Socket M2 arrives, buy the Socket M2 CPU upgrade card, your prefered
Scoket M2 CPU...It doesn't matter what it is : Sempron, A64, A64 X2, Opteron 1xx
series AND some DDR2 RAM.
(3) Set the jumpers on the mobo according to manual, point it to use CPU upgrade
(4) Install CPU, HSF and DDR2 RAM on upgrade card.
(5) Install upgrade onto mobo.
(6) Turn on and fingers crossed... It should work. :) Reply

yacoub - Thursday, November 03, 2005 - linkActually while we're at it, what's the ETA to the A8N32-SLI Deluxe hitting store shelves as well?
I'd love a passively cooled motherboard and GPU since those two items tend to have the smallest, noisiest fans. I can barely imagine the joy of cutting out those two noise sources and just having a CPU fan and the PSU fan. mmmmmm! Reply

gunblade - Thursday, November 03, 2005 - linkSo, DFI is getting into the Graphic card market now?
Good for them I guess, since they can push the Ati card together with the Crossfire MOBO. However, too bad Ati doesn't allow pre-OC the graphic card or else driver will reject it. Reply
Ledu RF - Thursday, November 03, 2005 - linkFirst of all, i think that your article is very good but not complete, i can't understand how can you make a review about mobo makers like "ECS" and not make a review about others like Aopen who realy deserve to be in this place :-(.thanks Reply
KristopherKubicki - Thursday, November 03, 2005 - linkWell the problem was that I didn't really spend a lot of time there. ECS is actually a lot larger than AOpen too - I tried to get as many of the big guys in at once. There will be some more follow ups in the next couple days.

imaheadcase - Thursday, November 03, 2005 - linkI wonder why did they put all the PCI/AGP/PCIx cards unside down? I always seemed like being on top was better for airflow. Was it from a old old case design or something? Nothing more annoying that when a website asks for a serial number is having to take card out instead of looking on top for SN :D Or cleaning PC out having to take out card to clean the fan on graphics card better.
Anyway, asus is on right track putting GPU on top, will make watercooling installing much smoother to :D Reply
SpatulaCity - Thursday, November 03, 2005 - linkThe expansion cards are not upside down, your case is upside down. Just flip your case on it's head and everything should be good. :p Reply
Brian23 - Thursday, November 03, 2005 - linkISA cards were right side up. PCI cards were made backwards so you couldn't accidently stick them in an ISA slot and short it out. Then when AGP came, they just moved the connector so it was physically impossible to put a PCI card in an AGP slot. AGP cards were made upsidedown because They didn't want to limit the number of PCI slots a system could have. At the time, mobos had ISA, PCI, and AGP all on the same board. With PCI in the middle, an extra slot would be lost if the AGP card was made right side up. Who would want a mobo with only 2 PCI slots? Anyways, now ISA is gone giving more space for more PCI slots so it's not that big a deal to give one up to flip the card over. Just make sure the mobo doesn't have parts in the way on that side of the card. Reply

Clinical breast exams better taught?
- Question from Kathy: The American Cancer Society (ACS) has done a very good job instructing women on the proper technique for BSE (breast self-exam). Are the doctors that are attending medical schools today being taught to do a better CBE (clinical breast exam) than their predecessors?
- Answers - Cecilia M. Brennecke, M.D. I'm part of a group in Maryland that travels around the state and teaches the "Mammocare" method to practicing physicians, usually primary-care physicians. That work is funded by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) because Maryland has a very high breast cancer rate. I don't know what medical schools are doing about it, but in my breast center, we offer clinical breast exams performed by the radiologist, and it's a highly sought-after service.
- Marisa Weiss, M.D. I have patients who complain to me that their doctors do poor breast exams, and they don't know what to say or how to handle it. I think it may be important for you to say just before the exam starts that you really need the doctor to do a very careful exam, that it's very important to you, and that you are really depending on him or her to do this in conjunction with your own self-exam as well as mammography and other tests, as needed. Making this request may make a significant difference, but if the doctor does not respond in a way that is satisfactory to you, maybe you should find another doctor, or at least make sure there are enough other doctors on your team who are providing this important part of your examination.
- Cecilia M. Brennecke, M.D. I agree. The gynecologist is the primary-care physician for many women. Their area of expertise is not the breast but the pelvis, and they may not be comfortable with the breast exam. I agree with Marisa that you should impress upon the doctor that this is important to you. The breast exam is not an easy exam to do, and that may be why they're not doing a good job, or are doing a cursory job.
- Marisa Weiss, M.D. When you examine your own breast, you can expect to feel "neighborhoods" or regions that have distinct variations. For example, the upper outer quadrant may feel like a scouring pad or a collection of grapes.
- Cecilia M. Brennecke, M.D. I always need food analogies, Marisa!
- Marisa Weiss, M.D. This scouring pad comparison is very useful because I haven't found a piece of food that describes a cloud-like region that is consistently very firm. I think that gefilte fish would also be a good alternative description.
- Cecilia M. Brennecke, M.D. I use oatmeal and tapioca. If you feel a rock in the oatmeal, it doesn't belong.
- Marisa Weiss, M.D. It's like the Sesame Street images—which of these things does not belong with the others?
- Cecilia M. Brennecke, M.D. When you feel the upper outer quadrant—which is the area between the nipple and the armpit—and it feels lumpier than the rest of the breast, that's normal. The same area on the other breast should feel somewhat the same. Not exactly the same, but somewhat the same.
- Marisa Weiss, M.D. At the very bottom of the breast, just above the crease or the fold, where an under wire would rest, the breast may have a very smooth or thick consistency, like the rind of a piece of fruit. It's thick and smooth and the edge of it can feel like a ridge. Don't expect our descriptions to fit your breasts exactly. Our only message here is that the breast tends to have different patterns of consistency, depending on the area. Get to know how your own breast tissue feels, and if you have any questions, bring them to the attention of your doctor.
- Cecilia M. Brennecke, M.D. I think women are afraid of the self-exam because it's difficult. They're afraid that they would not find something that is important, or they would find too much and bother the doctor. But it's free and it works—you just have to practice. I think NOT doing something that could save your life is a lost opportunity.
The Ask-the-Expert Online Conference called Breast Cancer Screening featured Cecilia M. Brennecke, M.D. and Marisa Weiss, M.D. answering your questions about mammograms, ultrasound, MRI, breast self-exams, physical exams by a doctor, and other topics related to breast cancer screening.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Duval County School Board voted to fire Christopher Bacca Tuesday night. The teacher is facing multiple charges and is accused of having a sexual relationship with a child.
Duval County Superintendent Ed Pratt-Dannals said the board would not wait until the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office finishes its criminal investigation to move forward with Bacca's termination.
"The superintendent had recommended he be suspended without pay pending termination, so he was essentially terminated this evening," said disrict spokeswoman Jill Johnson.
Bacca is accused of molesting a boy in his home. The decision on his job will be made whether the legal system finds him guilty or not.
can't have this situation. We're looking at it closely and we expect to have a report the week after next."
Police reports show Bacca showered with a boy, who police said slept in his bed before the assault. Bacca faces six felony counts of molesting a child younger than 12.
Bacca's case has raised eyebrows in and around the school district, particularly because he had been removed from Long Branch Elementary school in 2009 for having a questionable relationship with a child.
Bacca was investigated by police and DCF in 2009 but since no charges were filed, Duval County Schools decided to keep Bacca on as a teacher, but removed him from Long Branch and placed him in Windy Hill Elementary school.
In talking with district officials, none would say if they made a mistake by putting Bacca back in another school, but they are reviewing what happened and Bacca's investigation will be the topic of conversation in a board workshop in the coming weeks.
"There's certain info in his file that we used for Mr. Bacca's employment, he wasn't arrested at the time," said board member W.C. Gentry.
Gentry said the district had already been reviewing human resources policies prior to the Baca case. The board was looking to make sure no teachers on staff could be a threat to students, but when they learned about the situation with Bacca, the process was sped up.
"We just had a new human resource person put in to look at our policies," said Gentry."But, obviously this has given it more impetus, obviously we can't have this situation. We're looking at it closely and we expect to have a report the week after next."

7th Grade Reading Challenge
In an effort to increase reading and comprehension skills among the 7th grade students, Grayson County Middle School implemented a 7th Grade Reading Challenge for students and staff. The recently completed 11-week challenge was designed to support GCMS' goals for improving student literacy.
Students were motivated through team competition and individual rewards. The reading challenge involved reading books from a variety of genres, passing an Accelerated Reader test, and earning a leaf for their team's tree. All three 7th grade teams had a huge tree in their hall and every time a student passed an AR test, he/she received a leaf with their name on it and the title of the book to place on their team's tree. At the end of the 7th grade challenge, the team with the most leaves won the competition and the reward of a free tech party where they can use their cell phones, iPods, and iPads, along with local and school-wide recognition. Individual incentives included gift certificates from Dairy Queen, McDonalds, and Wendy's restaurants for every five books read.
This challenge encouraged the students to read and analyze their books while carrying on a conversation with their teacher and each other through the 7th grade Reading Challenge wall on www.wallwisher.com. It promoted student comprehension and literacy of what they read through the conversations and AR tests. While students who love to read enjoyed this challenge, the goal was to promote an interest and hopefully a love of reading in all students at GCMS.
The challenge was headed by Mrs. York for Team 4, Mrs. Thomas for Team 5, and Mrs. Loughran for Team 6. The winning team, Team 4, had a total of 205 books read and Accelerated Reader tests passed. In all, the 7th grade students at GCMS read a total of 449 books this year, talked about their books on wallwisher.com, and earned leaves for their team's tree every time they passes an AR test. You could say that spring has certainly blossomed in the 7th grade hall at GCMS.
Lisa York's Team 4 took top honors in the AR Reading Challenge. Top three readers for the team were (l – r) Shantella Cottrell, Breanna Frank and Brianna Van Meter.
Top readers from Shannon Loghran's Team 6 were Bryson Lowe and Shalane Woosley, shown in front of the team's colorful tree.
As top readers from Amanda Thomas' Team 5, Chelsea Whobrey and Harmony Miniard show off their classmates' accomplishments and reading leaves as well.

REPUBLIC, Ohio (AP) -- Investigators say extensive damage prevents them from determining what caused a fast-moving fire that killed five people and leveled a 130-year-old farmhouse in northwest Ohio.
The state fire marshal's office said Friday that investigators have ruled out a propane heating system and a wood burner as the cause of the blaze earlier this week outside the village of Republic, about 50 miles southeast of Toledo. Other possible causes included smoking or space heaters used in the home.
Investigators found no evidence the fire was set intentionally.
Authorities in Seneca County believe the five people who died were two adults and three children.
The identification of the victims was left to the coroner, who wasn't available for comment Friday.

A nearly extinct mammal that lives in highly forested areas. The wild bologna are a fierce creature, building from the size of an SUV to a tiger tank. Bolognas take a while to build up speed, but when they do they can run for days on end. They look like the massive leeches on the King Kong movie. The Bolognas can open there mouth, and inside that mouth, there are several other small mouths. Not many of these beautiful creatures are left. The remainder are located in Newfoundland, Canada. There may be more in the world, but they have not yet been located. Over time, the Bolognas evolved into a flying bologna. The flying wild bolognas are a type of bird, except with razor sharp teeth, massive claws, and wing span which reaches 12 to 14 feet. The bolognas do occasionally mate, but due to there large size, when they mate, they would usually perish. The bolognas constantly let out a large glass shattering screech that can be heard from miles and miles away, and can some times deafen other animals, leaving them as easy pray for the Bolognas. The Bolognas also screech to keep in contact and let other Bolognas know that they are out there. Some Bolognas have been known to let out a screech just before death. They also screech as a warning call. The Bolognas can be harmless to humans, unless they are hungry, or unless you get in there path while they are in motion.
