KEIZER, Ore.-- The Boise Hawks' slow start to the season continued on Sunday night, as the minor league team fell 4-3 to Salem-Keizer on the road. The Hawks are now 0-3 on the season, and still in search of their first win.
Boise started things off right on offense when Jeimer Candelario gave the away team a 1-0 lead in the second inning on an RBI single. The Hawks made that 2-0 in the fifth when Gioskar Amaya knocked in a run. Candelario put his team up by three runs in the eighth inning on an RBI infield single.
The lead did not last, though. The Volcanoes cut the lead to one run in the bottom of the eighth inning, and then got a two more runs in the ninth to win the game in walk-off fashion.
Hawks pitcher Tayler Scott was stellar in his 2012 debut, pitching five innings of shutout ball and allowing just three hits. He struck out a career-high four batters.
Both teams will again face off on Monday night.

Miss Me Glitz Boot Stretch Jean 2 2
So cute! I love these jeans! I had to buy a smaller size than usual to get the length I needed, but it's probably better since they do stretch a fair amount. I am very curvy, and these jeans are so slimming! I like very dark jeans, and a lot of other brands will turn everything I touch blue by the end of the day, but these don't do that. My favorite part is that they make my big bum look cute. They also seem very sturdy like they will last a very long time. I have seen other brands of jeans with pocket embellishments that fall off easily, but these are very secure and I haven't lost any yet. January 15, 2014
Love being able to order 37" length! Great jeans, great store, great associates, great delivery time...Just Great! February 21, 2013

Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum Announces New Board President, Secretary and Appointment of New Trustee
Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum is pleased to announce the appointment of Beth Comstock as president and Judy Francis Zankel as secretary of its board of trustees. The Smithsonian's board of regents voted Jan. 23 to appoint Dr. Alberto Eiber to the board of Cooper-Hewitt.
"We are excited that Beth and Judy have assumed these leadership roles during this important time in the museum's history," said Bill Moggridge, director.
Cooper-Hewitt's main facility, housed in the Carnegie Mansion, is undergoing renovation as part of a $64 million capital campaign that includes enlarged and enhanced facilities for exhibitions, collections display, education programming and the National Design Library, and an increased endowment. During the renovation, Cooper-Hewitt's usual schedule of exhibitions, education programs and events will be staged at various off-site locations, including Bill's Design Talks at the Greene Space, the Enid and Lester Morse Historic Design Lecture Series at the University Club and the "Graphic Design: Now in Production" exhibition at Governors Island next summer.
"Beth and Judy have been trustees for a number of years and we are grateful to them for their commitment to Cooper-Hewitt," said Caroline Baumann, associate director. "We are also delighted to welcome Al Eiber to our distinguished roster of 31 trustees who are working diligently to promote the museum's mission."
Cooper-Hewitt's board of trustees, chaired by Paul Herzan, includes distinguished civic and business leaders dedicated to the continued growth of the museum.
"Cooper-Hewitt's mission, its vision, is to explain how design, historic or contemporary, impacts our lives," said Comstock. "That's why I'm so excited and supportive of what Cooper-Hewitt does because they're trying to find a way that everyone understands why design matters and how design fits into your life."
Comstock, a trustee since 2006, is senior vice president and chief marketing officer for General Electric. Prior to her current post, Comstock served as president of digital media and market development at NBC Universal. Before that, she held the position of corporate vice president and chief marketing officer of General Electric, and a succession of communications and publicity positions at NBC, Turner Broadcasting and CBS Entertainment. A native of Virginia, Comstock is a graduate of the College of William and Mary. She is chair of the museum's executive committee and co-chair of the marketing and media task force.
Zankel, a trustee since 2008, is a freelance illustrator, who works as a fashion, beauty, food and instructional "how to" illustrator for manufacturers, advertising agencies, magazines and book publishers. A graduate of Hunter College, City University of New York, Zankel also attended the School of Visual Arts where she studied fashion illustration. She is a former President of the Society of Illustrators in New York, a member of the Graphic Artists Guild and the Fashion Art Source and serves as a trustee on the board of Carnegie Hall. She is chair of the museum's committee on trustees and a member of Cooper-Hewitt's executive and collections committees.
Eiber is founder and president of Eiber Radiology. He is a graduate of Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara and Ohio State University. Eiber has been collecting 20th-century design and decorative arts for more than two decades, specifically pottery, glass and modern Italian furniture. He is a former trustee of Wolfsonian-Florida International University.

Stoney Creek man wants to know who shot hog
By Max Hrenda
Last week, Stoney Creek resident Bobby Harding noticed one of his two hogs was doing something uncharacteristic of a pig — it wasn't eating.
"I went over there to feed her, and she was just sitting over in the corner," Harding said. "She just raised her head up, and it turned out she wasn't eating for about three or four days. So, last Friday, I picked up a comb and combed her out real good to see what I could find."
When Harding combed back the hair on his sow's head, he found the problem.
"Someone had shot her twice in the head," Harding said. "There was one in her snout, and one right above her eye."
Harding believes his hog had been shot with a low-caliber pistol, because the bullets didn't penetrate the pig's skull.
"If they would have shot her with a rifle, it would have killed her," Harding said. "They had to get right up over top of her to shoot her. It's a thousand wonders that she's not dead."

Antigua and Barbuda profile
Head of state: Queen Elizabeth II, represented by a governor-general
Prime minister: Baldwin Spencer
Baldwin Spencer and his opposition United Progressive Party won a landslide victory in general elections in March 2004. He led the party to victory in 2009, though with a reduced majority.
The 2004 win ended the political dynasty of the Bird family, which had dominated Antiguan politics for more than half a century.
Mr Spencer promised to fight corruption and added that "crimes committed against the people" would not go unpunished.
A lifelong labour activist, Baldwin Spencer was born in the working-class community of Green Bay.
The premiership of Lester Bird, Mr Spencer's predecessor, had been dogged by allegations of bribery and of missing funds from Antigua's health care system. Mr Bird denied the charges.

Start smart: College saving, spending tips to move into adulthood on a good financial footFARGO – Beginning college with retirement in mind can set students up for a solid financial future.
By: Sherri Richards, INFORUM
FARGO – Beginning college with retirement in mind can set students up for a solid financial future.
Chris Mason, an associate professor of finance at Concordia College's Offutt School of Business, says this is one of three skills he encourages students to adopt in college.
Mason, also president and chief investment officer of Fontis Investments in Minneapolis, says he talks about personal finance in every class, and at some point, with nearly every student he encounters.
The overarching goal for any student should be to graduate with as little debt as possible, he says.
Mason says he's surprised how many students have it figured out, graduating with little debt and even some retirement dollars saved.
However, he says today's students often have a sense of entitlement that can derail budgets.
First, Mason tells students to have an accountability partner, often a parent, who can go through the student's financial plan and provide guidance and objective advice when the plan is derailed.
"Those things that are urgent in your mind may really not be that urgent. They may be important to you at that point in time, but they may not be urgent," Mason says.
Students should create a budget for their four years of school, and then break it down into yearly, semester and monthly budgets, making a best guess about expenses like tuition, books, housing and food, as well as incoming funds.
Mason says students should consider four categories when considering where money comes from: income, gifts, savings and debt. They also need to ask when the money will be available.
"Often the timing piece creates an emergency," Mason says.
For example, if books must be purchased before student loan money arrives. "Have a healthy skepticism on those dates."
Finally, he encourages that retirement mindset about each dollar spent in college.
Mason likes to joke he bought a $315,000 car when he was 25.
The car actually cost $37,000, an amount that could have conservatively grown to $315,000 by the time he's 65.
"Had I thought about it being a $315,000 decision, I probably wouldn't have bought that $37,000 car," he says.
Mason advises students to think of all purchases that way. A daily coffee isn't a $2 decision, but a $730 yearly decision. And $730 invested every year from age 19 until retirement could be worth more than $165,000, assuming a 6 percent return.
"It's not to say no to everything, but it's to prioritize and say 'What's the most important thing?' " Mason says.
"Look past the moment, always backing up to the bigger picture," he adds. "The decisions we make have a long-term impact. Developing those skills will have a lifelong impact."
Morgan Almer, a financial counselor with the Village Family Service Center, says in his industry, student loan debt is the next big financial crisis.
More and more of the Village's clients are burdened with student debt, he says. Statistics he's read show 10 to 15 percent of the nation's $1 trillion in student loans are currently in default.
Students should heed these present-day woes as a cautionary tale.
"What we're advising a lot (is to) make sure you know what career path you're going to take and the potential earnings from that career path before you start borrowing tons and tons of money," Almer says.
One rule of thumb is to not borrow more in total student loans than the student expects to earn in salary the first year out of school, a spokeswoman for the Boston-based nonprofit American Student Assistance said in an article on Bankrate.com.
Almer says that is an OK guideline, but difficult for people to follow.
Mason says there really can't be a one-size-fits-all guideline, as student circumstances, including family contributions, vary so greatly.
Federal student loans are generally preferable to private loans, as they have more repayment options available, Almer says.
Ross Almlie of TCI Financial Advisors in West Fargo, says he thinks credit cards are "the ill of college life."
Students often think they'll be making a large salary as soon as they graduate. "That thought in their head allows them to justify that credit card," he says.
Racking up credit card debt in college hamstrings a student's financial future.
Budgeting and living within a plan can prevent students from abusing credit cards.
Almlie is also founder and CEO of Breadvault, an online and mobile tool for kids to track dollars and savings goals. He says Breadvault encourages its young users to allocate 70 percent of their money for spending, 20 percent for investing and 10 percent for giving. The company also advocates parents match the investing dollars.
It's also important for students to have some emergency funds, a buffer, perhaps of $500, Mason says.
"Often when those emergencies happen, that's when the temptation of 'I'll just put that on my credit card' … the slippery slope of going outside the plan starts to happen," Mason says.

Financial tools for the college student
College can be a time for young adults to build a positive credit history and learn good money management skills, if they have the right tools.
If the student doesn't yet have one, now's the time to get a checking account, says Morgan Almer with the Village Family Service Center. Look for a "free" account with no minimum balance required, he says.
Mobile apps and websites can make tracking expenses easy. Almer recommends Mint.com.
Prepaid cards, purchased at a big box store and load-ed with a set amount of cash, are another way students can control spending, he says.
Using credit wisely can help students build a favorable credit score, a boon when applying for home or auto loans, an apartment and sometimes even a job.
Parents can add their children as authorized users to their credit cards, creating a credit history for them, even when they are minors. This can often be done easily through the credit card's website, Almer says.
The student doesn't need to be issued a card. However, the parent needs to use the card responsibly for the child to inherit a positive score.
A secured credit card, offered by banks, can also help students work toward building a positive financial track record, Almer says.
The student must deposit a minimum amount of money (usually a few hundred dollars) at the bank as collateral, and then is given a card with a small limit.
If the student proves her-self, staying under the limit and paying the credit card bill on time, after several months, she will be issued a regular credit card and given the deposit back.
Any student who has earned income can con-tribute to a Roth IRA, an individual retirement account that allows after-tax contributions to grow tax-free.
Thanks to compound interest, this can make a huge difference for the student when retirement rolls around, says Chris Mason, a Concordia College finance professor.
"The most important dollars put away are when you're 22. The second most important are when you're 23. The least important from a significance stand-point is when you're 65," Mason says.

Strong winds played a role in numerous power outages across Northeast Michigan, and was likely the cause of a minor fire extinguished by Alpena Township Fire Department on Friday.
The fire began at around 5:45 p.m. when some tree branches touching a power line caught fire, Capt. Ken Piper said. Hesaid a passing driver called 911. The tree was located across from Goodrich Trucking on Werth Road. After burning through the branches, the fire mostly went out on its own. Alpena Power Company crews were notified, although Piper said he was unaware of any outage caused by the incident.
Carl Peters, director of electric and gas operations for Presque Isle Electric & Gas Cooperative, said there were about 2,670 customers without power due to winds as of 9 p.m. Friday throughout the utility's coverage area. This includes Presque Isle County, most of Montmorency and Cheboygan counties, and parts of Alcona, Alpena, Emmet, Oscoda, Otsego counties.
While Peters wasn't sure when all customers would see electricity restored, he said crews were making good progress.
"Hopefully it won't be too long a duration," he said. "We have all the crews working."

Insider: Andy Reid wants to coach in 2013, possible candidate with the Cardinals
But as ESPN Insider Adam Schefter reported Sunday, even if Reid is handed a pink slip by the Eagles in the coming days, don't expect him to be on the market long.
[Reid] has been calling around the league, trying to put together a coaching staff, so that if and when he is let go in Philadelphia, he will be ready to resume coaching for another franchise next season.
While most assumed Reid might be a logical replacement for Norv Turner in San Diego, Schefter reports the Chargers will not look be looking in the California native's direction.
One direction the veteran head coach might look in is the Valley and a potential head coaching vacancy with the Arizona Cardinals.
Sports Illustrated's Don Banks suggested the idea earlier in the week, and Schefter reported Sunday that the two parties might be a match.
Although he is not expected to be a candidate with the Chargers, he could wind up as a candidate in Jacksonville if the Jaguars fire Mike Mularkey or in Arizona if the Cardinals part ways with coach Ken Whisenhunt.
Under Reid's guidance, the Eagles have made nine postseason appearances, including a trip to Super Bowl 39 and four NFC Championship games.

About Us
Functions of Career Services
The Southern University Career Services was established as a centralized Bureau to assist Southern University students and alumni in obtaining satisfactory employment. Some of the Center's specific functions are as follows:
- Provide information about the world of work.
- Relate occupational requirements to individual qualifications and interest.
- Provide information to students concerning career opportunities as they relate to foreseeable demands.
- Assist students in securing part-time employment.
- Provide information about summer employment and cooperative programs.
- Test and screen students for possible employment with various agencies.
- Coordinate recruitment activities.
- Provide current information about educational placement by using college catalogs, scholarship and other financial assistance announcements.
- Provide career counseling in special cases.
The Aim of Recruitment
The primary purpose of any agency representative's visit to a college campus is to obtain the best individual possible for the agency he represents. All employers, civilian or governmental, are aware of the relationship of manpower to finished product. As such, agencies are willing to expend whatever is necessary within sound economical boundaries to attract good potential employees.
When one sees a recruiter on a college campus, the preparation necessary for the recruiter's visit should be realized. Some of the necessary preparations for the recruitment visit involve the following: a survey of the agency's manpower requirements, coordination with the various placement offices for recruiting visits; arrangements for transportation, lodging, and boarding; and the allocation of funds for the above.
Organizations depending on college campuses to fill their man power demands are aware of the tremendous responsibilities placed on individual recruiters. The recruiter's objective must be twofold. He must select individuals having the type of training and background that will promise the greatest value to his organization. At the same time, the recruiter must also be aware of the needs and interests of the potential employee. Failure to consider either of these objectives in sufficient depth may result in a loss to the potential employer and to his organization.
The adjective "responsible" is defined by Webster as: "liable to be called upon to answer as the primary cause, motive, or agent: or able to answer for one's conduct and obligation." In view of the first portion of the definition it is implied that individuals normally have certain motives or causes for their actions. Whether the actions are reflected as appropriate or inappropriate, they do affect him and other individuals involved. To ensure that students understand their obligations and conduct themselves in a manner so as to promote the best possible results from any interaction, some responsibilities pertaining to students are outlined.
Responsibilities of the Student
- Students interested in securing employment have the primary responsibility of registering with the Placement Center. This registration includes filling out such forms as may be required.
- The student should exercise care in filling out such forms as may be requested in preparation for interviews. All responses to items on the Interview Data Sheet must be accurate; i.e., address, telephone number, grade point average.
- Students who register with the Center and plan to interview for employment are required to have a neatly typed resume to present to each recruiter with whom they interview. Also provide the Center with a copy for his/her placement folder.
- It is the responsibility of all senior students utilizing the services of the Center to have the Registrar's Office provide the Center with a copy of his/her transcript.
- The student should make every effort to ensure that all forms completed by him /or her and those that are completed by others, evaluation sheets, letters of recommendation, etc., are returned to the Center as soon as possible.
- The absence of any information needed to complete the student's placement folder may result in the suspension of placement services.
- Prior to his/her first interview, the student should recognize his/her responsibility to analyze interests and abilities and consider carefully the career objective and appropriate ways of meeting it. He/she should read available literature and consult other sources for information about the employer. He/she should organize thoughts in order that he/she may intelligently ask and answer questions.
- In his/her interview, the student should recognize that he/she is representing his/her school, as well as him/herself, and should be punctual and thoroughly businesslike in conduct.
- The student should promptly acknowledge an invitation to visit an employer's premises. He/she should accept invitations only when he/she is sincerely interested in exploring employment with that employer.
- As soon as a student determines he/she will not accept an offer, he/she should immediately notify the employer.
- The student should not continue to present him or/ herself for interviews after he/she has accepted an employment offer.
- When the student accepts an employment offer, he/she should do it in good faith and with the sincere intention of honoring his/her commitment.
- The student should keep the Placement Office advised concerning employment negotiations.
Responsibilities of the Recruiter
- The number of interviewers brought on campus by an employer should be adequate to cover the pre-arranged schedule.
- Recruiters will be permitted to interview only those students who have officially registered with Career Services and signed up on their Interview Schedule. All interviews will be scheduled and candidates seen in the Center. No recruiting will be allowed in departments, classrooms, hallways, etc., unless by special permission of the Director.
- As soon as possible following an interview, the employer should communicate with the student and the Placement Office concerning the outcome of the interview.
- The employer should give the student reasonable time to consider an offer.
- The employer should accept the student's decline of a job offer as a final decision.
- Prior to or at the time of employment, the employer should clearly explain to the student all conditions pertaining thereto.

Oh ok. But what formula would I use if i want to find the angle oposite to side 'b' if i'm only given the lengths of sides 'a' and 'b' and the angle between them?
Has anyone seen this formula before? Or one very similar?

Go Fish! Creating an Ocean-Friendly Fishing Video Game
|Time Required
|Average (6-10 days)
|Material Availability
|Readily available
|Very Low (under $20)
|No issues
AbstractVideo games are entertainment, but like other such media (say Oscar-winning movies or award-winning books), they can also point out challenges facing people. In this science project, you will design and create a fishing video game that teaches the player about which fish are plentiful enough to catch and which fish are not because their population is declining. Maybe your game can help solve the problem of over-fishing and help sustain healthy fish populations. All while having fun of course!
To design and create a fishing video game in which the player scores points for catching sustainable, or "Best Choice," fish but scores nothing for catching "Avoid" fish.

Do you fish? Many people see fishing as a fun hobby, whether they do it off the side of a dock, from the deck of a sport-fishing boat, or even from the comfort of their couch with a fishing video game. But for others, fishing is not just a hobby – it is a job and a way to put food on tables across the world. The problem is some fish populations are declining quickly worldwide, and reports suggest that these changes are affecting the jobs of fishermen, the health of the oceans, and even the hobby of a weekend fisher. Part of the solution may lie in changing, at least temporarily, what fish humans eat in order to give the endangered fish populations time to recover. Marine research and education organizations like aquariums are strong advocates of this approach. But the question is: How do you get the message out about which fish are environmentally responsible to eat and which are not? The answer may lie in another form of entertainment – video games!
In this video and computer game project, you will educate your players about the fragility of ocean life by making a computer fishing game. You will use an easy-to-learn programming software called GameMaker to create your video game. The great thing about GameMaker is that you can download the lite version from the Internet and it's free. The Procedure below will point you to several tutorials and help documents available online that will introduce you to GameMaker and assist you in making a successful game even if you have never programmed before. You can join the effort to save the oceans by teaching your friends and family about the kinds of fish that are plentiful enough to eat and others that are declining and would be better left alone.
Before you dive into creating your video game, however, you might want to know a little more about what is happening to the fish under the ocean surface. Scientists estimate that human activity has led to the removal of 90% of the world's predatory fish, including sharks, swordfish, and codfish. According to the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch, factors that affect ocean life, specifically fish species, are overfishing, illegal fishing, habitat damage, bycatch, and lack of management. Let us look at overfishing, illegal fishing, and bycatch.
Overfishing is the act of catching fish faster than they can replace themselves. Fish like orange roughy (see Figure 1, which shows a trawler net of the fish) and rockfish don't reach breeding age for several decades and are vulnerable to overfishing. Rockfish, a species that inhabits waters along the West Coast of the United States and can live to be 100 years old, has been severely depleted due to overfishing. In 1992, the codfish population in Canada collapsed due to overfishing. Approximately 40,000 people lost their jobs, and the codfish population has not recovered.
|Figure 1. This trawler net is full of orange roughy and bycatch caught in international waters in the Tasman Sea. Orange roughy can live up to 150 years. (© Greenpeace/Roger Grace)
Some desperate pirate fishermen are willing to break the law to make an income. Unfortunately, this affects worldwide fish populations. Pirate fishermen take undersized fish illegally, fish in closed areas, take more fish than allocated to them, or use illegal gear. Illegal fishing puts unsustainable pressure on fish stocks and habitats because the fish needed to build the next generation are lost.
Bycatch occurs when fishermen use less selective equipment, like bottom trawls and longlines, to catch fish, and instead of just catching the fish they want, also catch fish that they don't want. The fishermen often throw the bycatch back into the water either dead or dying. Longlines are hooked and baited lines that can reach lengths of 50 miles. These devices catch anything that wanders into its path. Bottom trawls drag along the bottom of the ocean floor catching anything in its wake. Bycatch isn't just unwanted fish; it can also include sea turtles, whales, dolphins, sharks, and even seabirds.
These practices have left some fish populations severly reduced. In order to give them the chance to breed and recover, marine biologists are recommending they be fished minimally or not at all. For that to work, consumers need to get the message so they can make informed choices when buying groceries or dining out. Your video game can help spread the message in a fun and memorable way.

Experimental Procedure
Planning Your Fishing Game
- In this video and computer games science project, you will create a fishing game that not only entertains the player but also educates him or her about the fragility of life in our oceans and the right kinds of fish to eat. The goal for the player is to catch as many "good" fish as possible and not catch the "to avoid" fish as each type swims by the player's fishing rod or hook. The player will get points for every good fish he or she catches during an allotted amount of time.
- The first thing you should do is download the GameMaker program from YoYo GameMaker for PC or YoYo GameMaker for Mac. Make sure that your computer's operating system fits the requirements for running GameMaker.
- Before you start programming your game, work through the first two Beginner (Level 1) tutorials listed in the GameMaker User Guide. These tutorials, each only about 30 minutes long, will walk you through the steps of making a video game with GameMaker. Even if you've never programmed before, you will be ready to tackle this fishing game project after working through the tutorials.
- Once you have completed the two tutorials and practiced with GameMaker, and you feel comfortable with the programming environment, it is time to start the project. As noted at the beginning of this procedure, this project follows the Engineering Design Process.
- Remember, if you run into trouble making your game, or feel as if you want more practice before tackling this project, the GameMaker User Guide also contains links to many other beginner tutorials as well as GameMaker help documents, a wiki, and a forum you can turn to with specific questions.
- Define the problem. In this case, you will create a fun and educational fishing game. Refer to the Science Buddies Define the Problem page to help you set the boundaries for the project.
- Do background research. The purpose of this game is to teach the player about the right kinds of fish to consume. Start at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch website to determine the "Best Choices," "Good Alternatives," and "To Avoid" fish for your region. You should also study YoYo Games' tutorial What is a Good Game? to start thinking about the goals of building a successful video game.
- Develop the project requirements. The project requirements are the characteristics that your video game must have to be a successful and educational video game. Refer to the Science Buddies Design Requirements section to get tips on how to formulate your game's design requirements. Here are some ideas to consider when formulating the requirements.
- What kind of fish sprites (i.e. images or animations) do you want to use? How many of each kind ("Best Choices," "Good Alternatives," and "To Avoid")? What kind of fishing rod/hook sprite will you use?
- What other sprites do you need-bubbles or kelp-that will help set the scene?
- How long should the game last? What event will you use to control time? Where will it occur?
- How fast should the background and fish move?
- How many points will each category of fish earn the player? Will the player get points subtracted for fish they shouldn't catch?
- What will happen when your fishing rod hooks (or collides) with a fish? How will the fish move out of the water?
- Will there be sound in the game? If yes, will the sound be used during the entire game or only when a fish is caught?
Creating Your Fishing Game
- Create and analyze solutions. Keeping your project requirements in mind, think about different ways that you could build your game. Take a look at this Science Buddies document on Creating Alternative Solutions to guide your efforts. Once you have developed a few solutions, analyze the solutions by making rough sketches and flowcharts for each one. Refer to Science Buddies Best Solution document to help you pick a working solution.
- Build and test a sample video game. Once you have created a set of requirements and a possible solution, it is time to open GameMaker and start working on building a sample video game. Build a sprite and an object and have it swim around in your ocean. Remember to review your requirements so that you keep yourself focused on the task. Review this Science Buddies Prototyping document.
- Program your video game. Keep testing the game as you work. When you have fulfilled a requirement or task, run the game and test it out.
- Break the game programming up into smaller tasks so that the project is not overwhelming.
- Test the game along the way so that you can fix small issues as they come up. This will prevent your having a long set of events at the end that don't work.
- Once you have finished your game, check to see that all of the project requirements are fulfilled.
- Test and redesign. Review the Science Buddies Test and Redesign document to help organize your work. Test your game out on your family and friends. Take notes on what your players enjoyed and didn't enjoy about the game. Use their feedback to improve your game.
The Final Product: Presenting Your Game
- When presenting your game at your science fair, try to bring in a computer. If you are not able to do so, take screenshots of your work, print them out, and mount them to a poster board.
- If you need help taking screenshots ask a teacher or someone else familiar with the computer for help.
- You should include the following items in your presentation:
- A list of the project requirements that guided your creation of the video game.
- The rough sketches or flowchart that describes how the game works.
- An explanation of what you learned from your research and from creating the video game.
- If you would like to publish your game for a wider audience to view, the Tips and Resources for Making Video and Computer Games page lists several places to do that.
Share your story with Science Buddies!I Did This Project! Please log in and let us know how things went.
- Make additional rooms in your game based on the region where the player is based. The player can then choose which room they enter. If your player is from the Southeast region of the United States, use the regional Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Pocket Guide from that part of the United States.
- Experiment with changing the speed of the fish as the game progresses.
- Indicate to the player when they have caught a good fish or a bad fish. This will help educate the player about life in the oceans.

Delicious and Authentic Indian Food – Bombay Indian has been in this location for quite some time and when I look around and see all of the restaurants that have open and closed, it makes me happy to know that Bombay Indian has remained.
Located in one of my favorite walking areas of the city, Bombay Indian is a great option for lunch or dinner. They have a great Indian Buffet at lunch for just $7.95, loaded with delicious, fresh and traditional Indian dishes. For dinner, they have a huge menu of selections that appeals to all types- vegetarian, spicy, or hearty. One of my personal favorites in the Chicken or Lamb Vindaloo. I also love Bombay Indian's Naan... Light, fresh, and a perfect compliment to every dish.
Excellent Indian Buffet – What an amazing lunch I just had. The buffet is filled with hot, fresh food, with a great selection of meat, chicken and vegetarian dishes. The also offer wonderful selection of condiments and sauces to accompany each dish.
The service was great and the price is right!
Stale, Rubbish food to eat here – such a PATHETIC restaurent. never ever go to eat their. I have a friend who works there, informed me these people HARDLY MAKE FRESH FOOD. should never take chance to go and eat unless you wanna fall sick.
Best Okra in Town! – The Okra was sooo good! The sauce was delicious with a perfect spicy bite. Also had the samosas , lamb vindaloo and garlic naan. All were very delicious. I had it as take out, but I will definitely try dine-in.
Editorial Review by Citysearch Editors – This restaurant serves authentic Indian cuisine and offers delivery.
Serving spinach during E.coli scare and rude and ignorant when customers asks about this – A friend and I went to this restaurant for dinner. I remember not thinking the food was very good lasttime I went but I thought I would give it another chance. Well, we were served spinach during the E.coli scare. My date politley told the waiter that spinach has been pulled by the shelves because of the E.coli scare and that almost 100 people have died. The waiter LITERALLY told us that there is NO E.coli scare and if there was, the spinach is fresh(fresh spinach is the worst for transmitting E.coli! - you can't wash it off!). My date proceeded to tell him that spinach has been pulled from the shelves and that he should tell the cooks. He disrespectfully laughed at my date like he was an idiot and LITERALLY said "ya ya ya" and walked away!! It is a real lack of respect to the customer to serve spinach during a national E.coli scare because you are too worried about how much $$ you would lose throwing it out and also ignorant(it is on tv and in the newspapers) to put people in the SF community in possible harms way. Think of what else they might do in the kichen to save $ that might be harmful to the customer?At the end, the waiter charged us and made us pay for the spinach dish whether we wanted to eat it or not due to fears of E.Coli! I told the waiter that I am never coming back to this restaurant because I told him that I don't think we have been treated right. The waiter sent the water person to wait on us the rest of the time we were there in response to this.
On a side note, when we first ordered our food before the above happened, I asked for garlic naan as opposed to plain naan that came with my particular dish, the waiter told me "no, I can not do this" even though I was willing to pay more. I ended up ordering vegetable yellow curry and it literally tasted like it came from a can (and then I remembered why I stopped coming to this place-there are so many great Indian restaurants in SF that serve great food, why go here?)
Poor quality, over priced, not consistent food and terrible service where the staff said manager was not in so we don't give a damn – I love Indian food and this is the third time I have been to Bombay hoping it will get better as its close to my home. We tried to get takeaway on this attempt. They were rude, understaffed and not really interested in working. We had a voucher to get discount on takeaway and they said it was not valid. Despite it stating valid anytime to Dec. I asked to speak to the manager and they said he was away and Kietak said he didn't give a damn about take aways as they were so busy. If you want cold, #slop# thinly dressed up as Indian food, with poor service and poor hygience this is the place for you. Very dissapointing.
DELISH Indian Food! Delivery! YES! – We have ordered online from Bombay Indian once to twice a month for the past two years, at least. This place is great! We used to order our standard: Pakora Palak, Alu Pratha (naan), Saag Paneer, Chicken Masala, and some sort of Tandoori. However, over the past 6-8 months, we've ventured from our "norm". So far, everything we've tried has been delicious! it's safe to say we've made it through at least 3/4 of the menu. Delivery is reliable, the food is always consistent & delicious, and without fail arrives piping hot. Specifications on the spiciness level is always right on. We love this place, and will continue to order from there and explore their menu often.
best food and service for the money – I am delighted to have found this place! The food is exquisite, the staff is very affable, and the ambience is perfect for romance. It's not over crowded and there is a comfortable amount of lighting. I was very pleased with this restaurant. I would recommend it to anybody who appreciates good food and great service.
i'm drooling when i'm thinking of it – No jokes! this restaurant is the best around here when it comes to indian cuisine. If you talk only about food, gosh it taste really good. but too bad this isn't only about food the atmosphere is great, it is small so you don't find yourself in the middle of the noise. the decoration are just gorgeous, the price is good also, and most of all the service is really great. the waiter will be always nice, at your service and ready to give you some advice. To make it short a good place to go with your friends, or girlfriend if you want to enjoy the taste of THE INDIAN FOOD!

September 2, 2010
Dear Diary,
Vampires have perfect recall. Photographic memories. No, that's not quite it – more like hi-def Blu-Ray DVD memories.
Today, I found myself thinking about the time I thought Bella was dead.
As soon as the vision found me – Bella clenching her fists in determination before she jumped right off a high cliff, was swallowed by the rushing water, and did not come up – my world shattered into a million jagged fragments.
Guilt assaulted me in waves. What were we thinking, leaving Bella in Forks all by herself?! Why had I agreed not to keep an eye on her, to never return to her, never influence her life again? Why, when my brother left us, had I not immediately returned to Washington to discreetly stalk Isabella Swan?
Anyone could see that Bella felt more for Edward than any human had ever felt for another. Anyone could have predicted that she would not just "get over it" when he left. Anyone who had ever seen them together might have known that Bella would never forget the pain. But me? I was a so-called psychic, and I hadn't seen it coming.
WHY had I obeyed Edward's parting order to not watch Bella's future?! DAMN it, why hadn't Jasper and I boarded the first flight back to Washington after Edward left? Now it was too late, far too late. No vampire could run fast enough, no car could drive quickly enough; even a jet plane could not get me there in time to save Bella's life.
But I would go to Forks, inexcusably late though I would be, and try to help relieve Charlie Swan's agony in some small way. We had always gotten along. Maybe my company would give him some relief … and, since I could not help but be honest with myself, I had to admit that I fiercely hoped being there would give my pain some relief too.
On the flight to Seattle, I stared sightlessly at the back of the seat in front of me. In this agony of despair that had frozen my dead heart, I continued to analyze my actions without self-pity. It was my fault. Despite the very real pain that had gripped me when I had to leave Bella, my soul sister, behind in Forks without even so much as a goodbye, I now knew that I had never really believed it was goodbye forever. Some part of my subconscious mind had always known that these two couldn't stay apart. Well, that false hope had caused the death of my beloved sister, Charlie, Renee, Carlisle and Esme's cherished daughter, everyone's best friend, and Edward's true love.
I went through the motions robotically, not even concerned about acting human as I ran to the garage where our Mercedes was parked and then drove to the Swan residence. There was no car in the driveway and no light on inside. Charlie must be at the hospital, then, or the beach. And Bella … the pain twisted around her name, stabbing my empty chest with remorse. Her truck must be somewhere near those horrid cliffs. But I couldn't bring myself to track it down. For one thing, I wasn't eager to cross into Quiluete territory, and for another, Bella's sweet scent still filled the house and was wreaking havoc on me as I stood motionless in the front hall.
I have no idea how long I stayed there, locked in place, letting her fragrance swirl around me, drowning in memories, guilt, despair, and self-reproach. But the next thing I was aware of was a familiar chugging sound. Coming out of my reverie, I listened more closely. Yes, it was definitely Bella's ancient Chevy heading my way. For the briefest moment I wished it would drive straight into the house and crush me – but, of course, that was impossible.
Someone was returning the truck to its home, but its owner would never return. I listened dully as it drew closer, then stopped in front of the house. A low, rough male voice began to speak, and it suddenly hit me – there were two heartbeats in the truck, not just one. Did that – ? Did the man just say "Bella?" But no, I couldn't let irrational hope take over. That could only make it worse …
And yet … I heard the second heartbeat so clearly. It was impossible, but it sounded exactly like Bella's heart. Nobody was speaking now … I could only hear movements. And then the man opened and slammed closed the passenger door, almost in the same instant. As he began revving the engine I heard her voice. I heard it! She was speaking! Had I lost my mind? Was she haunting Forks? I had never seen evidence of a ghost's existence before, but I knew beyond doubt that if Bella's ghost were here, Edward and I would devote the rest of our miserable existences to following her and begging her to stay with us forever.
The truck was roaring in protest as the man threw a rough U-turn, and then – I heard her voice again. I could hear Bella conversing with the unknown man. It was her, in the flesh, and she was begging to be allowed to come back to her house, which made no sense, but then it also made no sense that Bella was somehow there and able to speak at all.
The rest of the brief conversation was just as confusing, but as the man jumped out of the truck, I heard him say, "Bye, Bella. I really hope you don't die." By now I was frozen in place, insane hope and joy battling the sure knowledge that Bella was dead. I had not seen Bella come up. I saw her jump off a cliff and disappear into the rough waves. But now she was driving her truck back down the street to the house. Now she was walking up the path, those fumbling, awkward footsteps as familiar and dear to me as Jasper's smooth gait. Now her scent was strong in the air, though tempered by saltwater and some repulsive wet dog smell. Now she was opening the door and fumbling for the light switch. I couldn't bear to wait for her slow human hands.
I flipped the switch and almost exploded from the force of my bliss.
BELLA! BELLA, BELLA, BELLA!!! I screamed in my mind as my wide eyes found her whole, healthy, though bedraggled and exhausted-looking; her dear heart beating loudly, blood rushing through her veins and suffusing her cheeks with color. I could not move or speak for fear that I was somehow dreaming the entire thing.
Bella seemed to crumple, but then she flung herself at me with surprising strength, crying my name and wrapping her arms around me. I could not be imagining this, it was real. Bella was alive, Bella was sobbing in my arms. The relief I felt was immeasurable, life-changing, and all-consuming, but tempered by confusion. How? How was this possible?
"Bella?" I asked tentatively. The only response I received was increased gasping sobs, so I pulled her to the couch and onto my lap. As I rubbed her back soothingly, I fought the burning pain in my throat. Her potent scent was nothing compared to the pure heaven of seeing her again.
When Bella had calmed down a bit, we spent some time catching up. That is, I spent some time interrogating her, demanding an explanation for the attempted suicide. I've never been as surprised as I was then: first, to find her alive, then to learn that not only did werewolves exist, but that her best friend was one. A young werewolf, to be precise. What new kind of madness was this? I had to interrupt to scold her – this definitely counted as reckless behavior; the fact that a werewolf had saved her life didn't entirely placate me. As she continued her tale of what I had been missing, I learned that Victoria and Laurent had both returned to harm Bella. My eyes narrowed to slits as she spoke; apparently Bella had seen Victoria in the water, coming after her. My god, Bella just couldn't get a break, could she? In this tiny, insignificant town, her life had come so close to an abrupt end – how many times now? Finally, Bella's voice trailed off, and she looked down at her hands pensively. My icy heart constricted as I analyzed her grief-stricken expression.
"Our leaving didn't do you any good at all, did it?" I murmured, guilt seeping into my voice as I took in the deep shadows under her eyes, the wild disbelief whenever she looked at me, not to mention her hoarse, seawater-roughened voice struggling to pronounce each word. I had to reassure her that I was not going to disappear again … at least, not immediately. When she looked able to focus, I told her straight out, "You look like hell, Bella."
"I drowned today," she reminded me, but her eyes slid away from my face and her cheeks reddened a bit. I knew, and she knew, that wasn't the only reason for it.
"It goes deeper than that. You're a mess." My words made her flinch, and her next statement sounded more defensive.
"Look, I'm doing my best."
"What do you mean?" I asked warily. I still wasn't entirely convinced that the cliff dive had been purely recreational. There was something in her face …
"It hasn't been easy. I'm working on it." She sounded so brave, but the signs were impossible to ignore. She was deeply and profoundly depressed, and had been for months.
"I told him," I muttered to myself. Bella sighed in fond exasperation.
"Alice. What did you think you were going to find? I mean, besides me dead? Did you expect to find me skipping around and whistling show tunes? You know me better than that."
I know the depth of her bond with Edward better than that – that was what she meant. Once again, guilt filled my granite body, and I made a silent vow. I would not ever allow Bella to be left defenseless and heartbroken, never again. No matter what anyone tried to tell, ask, order, or beg me to do or not to do, I could not let Bella live in danger and misery like this. For her, I would be the best sister anyone had ever had, whether or not she and Edward ever saw each other again …
Slowly, I surfaced from the memory. It had been one of the worst days of my life, and I had never hated myself more; but the sweet relief of being reunited, after the painful absence and then the terrifying experience in Volterra, more than made up for it. Though the memory could still paralyze me with the intensity of its pain, it also made me even more grateful for what we all have now – happily ever after couldn't even come close.

Playing Fantasy Football does not qualify you to be the in the front office or on the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are professionals and you are not!
2014 Draft
1. Eric Ebron, TE
2. Calvin Pryor, S
3 (Comp). Jaylen Watkins, CB
4. Justin Ellis, DT/NT
5a. Brandon Coleman, WR
5b. Brent Urban, DE
6. Prince Shembo, OLB
7a. Aaron Colvin, CB
7b. Storm Johnson, RB
The Pittsburgh Steelers: There is NO other Team!
Yea.... trading for a fourth. why? I wouldn't take less than a 2nd if we're talking draft picks only.
Personally, I still think a deal might get done. Just a hunch. It's a tough call though. The thing that sucks is if Wallace gets a contract and Sanders does extremely well, you can pretty much guarantee that Sanders will NOT get a new contract. There would be too much money invested in WRs.
Or, do you roll the dice with Emmanuel Sanders and let Wallace walk next year? From a skill perspective, I'm ok with that but Sanders hasn't proven he could stay healthy for an entire season. The Steelers might just wait it out. That seems to make the most sense IMO.
this makes no sense at all. a fourth round pick? c'mon, we will get a third when he leaves anyways.
let him sit out until whenever, use him for the time he is here, and franchise him next year if he doesnt have a change of heart about his value or how he values this organization. maybe he will see the light and sign a longterm deal with us. some humility and maturity may set in.
oh, and just for you ruth, wallace can eat a bag of crap.
1.15 WR Mike Evans, Texas A&M
2.46 TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Washington
3.97c CB Philip Gaines, Rice
4.118 ILB Shayne Skov, Stanford
5.157 OT James Hurst, North Carolina
5.173c RB Jerrick McKinnon, Georgia Southern
6.192 CB Walt Aikens, Liberty
6.215c DE Deandre Coleman, California
7.230 NT Zack Kerr, Delaware
This 4th round talk makes me think of the Santonio trade. Granted, his Twitter comments dug his own grave in Pittsburgh and I understand that the FO just wanted to "wash their hands" of the situation but still... why give up a talent like that for so little. The Raiders, Redskins, Eagles, etc should be on speed dial for situations like that. Why settle for something too low? These guys are good players and are young. The Pats seem to get 1st round picks for washed up players...
I'd Only Take a 1st round pick, nothing less.
Other than that, let him play this season and hopefully help us win another ring.
If he goes, we'd get a 3rd...or we could sign him to an extension.
Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go...
Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go...
Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go...!!!
Jackson had to sit out a season to get his payday. Makes sense Wally's following his footsteps.
It's not like Wallace didn't have any offers. He could play 1 year for us for close to 3 million (oh, the horrors). Or, he could have had job security and guaranteed money by signing a 5 year, 50 million dollar contract and he turned that down. The ball was in his court and he chose not to pursue either.

Feeling the heat: Wasabi Energy has appointed administrators. Photo: Reuters
Alternative energy company Wasabi Energy has collapsed after a failed capital raising.
Directors of the company, which owns a technology to convert waste industrial heat into electricity, appointed John Lindholm and Stewart McCallum of Ferrier Hodgson as administrators on Monday.
The company's Kalina Cycle technology is used by some of the world's biggest companies, including Siemens, Sumitomo Metal Industries and Sinopec.
Wasabi had intended to raise up to $14.8 million from shareholders through a rights issue, but on Monday said just 6.5 per cent of the entitlement had been taken up.
The company said the money raised would be returned to shareholders. Executive chairman John Byrne indicated he would attempt to strike a debt-for-equity deal with creditors owed about $10 million.
''I believe debt holders are now equity holders - it's just a question of the conversion rate,'' he said. ''It'd be nice to say we've got a deal but getting people together at this time of year is a nightmare.''
He said secured notes fell due ''and we haven't reached agreement with the noteholders''. The secured creditors who would ''determine the fate of the company'' were known to the company and there was no bank debt, he said.
Mr McCallum of Ferrier Hodgson said the company's directors had promised to deliver a restructuring proposal within the next fortnight.
Creditors are due to meet on January 10 and any deed of company arrangement would be put to creditors before a second meeting in early February.
''When we write to creditors we'll have to do some work comparing that DOCA to a liquidation scenario,'' Mr McCallum said.
He said the company holds $4 million in illiquid shares in other companies plus assets within subsidiaries around the world that continue to operate.
Mr Byrne said the company had been plagued by delays in commissioning plants overseas but defended the Kalina technology as ''unquestionably good''.
In late November, Wasabi went to shareholders for $14.8 million, $8 million of which was to be used to pay off secured noteholders.
An additional $4 million was to be used to secure rights to a geothermal project in Turkey.
The company declared a loss of $11.9 million for the year to the end of June, and auditors Deloitte said there was uncertainty it could continue as a going concern.
The company is listed on the ASX and on London's AIM exchange.
As of October 7, Luxembourg-based Salida Accelerator Fund owned 6.85 per cent of Wasabi and held 67 per cent of options on issue, according to the company's annual report.

Nothing much happened really… except well, I injured my left knee and it still hurts. orz And then I've just been watching Japanese dramas lately:
Marumo no Okite (read the synopsis here: wiki.d-addicts.com/Marumo_no_Okite)
This is a very touching drama and a bit inspirational and at the same time, very funny. And yeah, I so can relate to it.
Plus the ending song is really cuuuute~ And the kids as well, especially Ashida Mana-chan~ :3
Kaseifu no Mita (read the synopsis here: wiki.d-addicts.com/Kaseifu_no_Mita)
I'm still not finished with this. So far, it's great. I'm just really weirded out by Mita's actions. But if ever, I'll have a housekeeper like that, I think we'll get along. XD
Other than watching Jdramas, I'm also playing Final Fantasy IX on our PS3. It's my first time playing as I never really had the chance to play it before. I'm currently at the forgotten continent.
I've been to the doctor for my follow up check up. It turns out I'm fine… a bit. Well, I guess I'm okay. I have moderate fatty liver but the doctor said I don't need any treatment. I'm still okay.
