OCEAN CITY – It's coming down to the wire for high school
seniors throughout the country as another school year comes to a close. With
high school behind them, many seniors take advantage of the early summer season
and flock to vacation spots all along the eastern shore, especially Ocean City
where an estimated 100,000 seniors will hit the sand in June.
In response to the popularity of Ocean City among young
adults, the Ocean City Police Department recently partnered with Comcast
Delmarva to produce 500 copies of an informational DVD aimed to encourage high
school seniors to make informed, healthy choices while having responsible fun
without the use of alcohol and other drugs while in Ocean City.
On Tuesday, a news conference was held where town
officials, including Police Chief Bernadette DiPino and Mayor Rick Meehan, were
in attendance as well as several representatives of Comcast.
The video, which began filming in November and finished up
production in February with the help of the OCPD, Stephen Decatur High School
students and members of the Comcast Spotlight team, was given the green light
when Comcast approached the OCPD back in the summer offering their help with
any other services since they had been making public service announcements
together since 1996.
According to the OCPD's Community Service Coordinator
Barry Neeb, the idea of the video was something he had been thinking about for
a while after more and more high schools in the region began asking for the
OCPD to speak at their schools concerning senior weeks, something the OCPD has
been doing for over 10 years now.
"Since we can't get to all of these high schools, it would
be great if we could bring the message to them in another format other than a
live body since we just can't accommodate all those requests," he said.
Neeb said the requests are not limited to Maryland. They
come from all over the Mid-Atlantic region, even from as far away as New York.
With 500 copies of the DVD, Neeb said the OCPD can be in all of these places
without taxing the manpower of the department.
DiPino thanked Comcast for its generosity and said crime
prevention is the OCPD's No. 1 task. She also said the video itself will give a
lot of insight to seniors looking into visiting Ocean City and will prepare
them for the local laws as well as what the police officers here expect.
"We don't know how many lives we are going to touch but I
can assure you it's going to be a lot," she said. "If we make a difference in
just one life, just one life, because of this DVD, then we have made a huge
Meehan praised Comcast for its support of such a worthy
initiative and mentioned how it's the parents of these young adults who entrust
the town with the safety of their children.
"Our goal in Ocean City is to make sure they have a safe
time while they are here and they return home safely, that's our goal," he
said. "By viewing this in advance, I think that will encourage that type of
activity to happen."
Henry Pearl, vice president of Comcast Delmarva, said the
video would touch places where the OCPD's resources may not have been able to
reach before. In addition to the 500 DVDs that will be distributed, Pearl said
Comcast will make the video available to 2.7 million Comcast subscribers, from
New Jersey down to Virginia, through their video on demand program.
"We think, in addition to the distribution, with our video
on demand opportunity that we'll be able to touch many more lives and prevent
incidents from occurring, making [seniors'] stay in Ocean City as memorable as
it should be," he said.
"The name of the game in prevention," Neeb responded.
"Prevention is a business where you don't always see tangible results. You
don't know what you've prevented."
The video itself features Neeb as well as Lois Twilley, a
health educator from the Worcester County Health Department, and touches on
everything from underage drinking and the consequences it has, to tips on what
officers are looking for and where to go for medical attention.
On Wednesday, Neeb said that the DVD paired with the
efforts of Ocean City's Play It Safe Program, which is sponsoring 58 events
alone over the course of June for high school seniors to participate in, will
hopefully curb some of the underage drinking and disorderly conduct that takes
Neeb said there are no future projects planned with
Comcast in the immediate future but said as long as they are willing to be a
partner in public safety the OCPD would be glad to work with them again.
partnership by definition means people working together for a common goal," he
said. "This is the epitome of a partnership and this is an important one
because it's going to save lives."

Building on an existing 11-year history with the institution's athletics department, Emory Healthcare has furthered its commitment to Georgia Tech athletics by making the relationship official. The multi-year partnership between Emory Healthcare and the Yellow Jackets makes Emory Healthcare the official health care system for Georgia Tech athletics.
Members of the Emory Healthcare community are buzzing with excitement over the recently enacted partnership. As President and CEO of Emory Healthcare, John T. Fox notes, "Partnering so closely with Georgia Tech and the Ramblin' Wreck athletes is an exciting opportunity to support one of the nation's premier collegiate athletics programs in its continual quest for conference and national championships across a wide array of sports, including football, basketball and baseball. It is also a tremendous opportunity to support our Atlanta neighbor, the Georgia Institute of Technology, with whom we share many scientific and medical research projects and initiatives."
Home to one of the premier sports medicine programs in the Southeast and the country, Emory Healthcare comes equipped with just the right team to take on supporting a NCAA Division I athletics program.
"We have assembled a team of health care professionals at Emory who, when consulted, understand the unique needs of these seasoned athletes. We are prepared for the special challenges associated with their injuries, conditions, and strength and rehabilitation requirements as we work to help improve performance and help get these young men and women back on the field of competition," remarks John W.

When Agnes Furey lost her forty-year old daughter Pat and six-year-old grandson Christopher to homicide in 1998 at the hands of Leonard Scovens, who would have thought the two could end up writing a book together to bridge the scars between them? The award-winning author Agnes Furey releases, Wildflowers in the Median: A Restorative Journey into Healing, Justice, and Joy,co-written by Leonard Scovens.
Agnes' journey to redemption is not easy, yet she goes without a doubt as a proponent of restorative justice, which provides a healing process for both victim and perpetrator. Mary Keller on Goodreads says, "This book is a revolution of the word forgiveness."
Well-received on Amazon with an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 out of 26 reviewers, Joy S. Jinks commented, "The book is written from the letters between Agnes and Leonard as each tell their own story of heartbreak. It is filled with Agnes' poetry and Leonard's prose revealing the fate that intertwined their lives and the agony of their spirits as their stories played out. Their friendship across the years and their pain is fueling the restorative justice movement in the Southeastern United States."
Wildflowers in the Median earned accolades from her publishing company as Rising Star and Editor's choice. No wonder, Agnes Furey won First Place in the Writer's Digest International Self-Published Book.
How an awful experience transformed to a positive life-changing course navigates second chances for a tragic story to touch, inspire and reinvent the meaning of peace and strength.
Nancy O'Farrell on Tallahassee Writers Association concluded, "This small, complete book satisfies the reader in so many ways, not the least of which is the song that it sings in praise of hope."

AFP – Hong Kong action hero Jackie Chan has once again provoked criticism, this time from an American blogger, after suggesting on Chinese television that the US is the "most corrupt" country in the world.
"When you talk about corruption — the whole world, is there corruption in the United States? The most corrupt in the world!" the Rush Hour star, who has made headlines recently for his controversial views, told Phoenix TV last month.
Chan reaffirmed his view after the show's host questioned him — "Of course! Where did the great breakdown come from? The world, the United States started it," Chan said, referring to the financial crisis and gesticulating as he spoke.
His comments were rebuked Thursday by Max Fisher, a foreign affairs blogger for the Washington Post, who called them "anti-American" rhetoric that was rooted in China's insecurity.
"To the degree that Chan's comments were anti-American, they likewise reflect a common Chinese view of the United States, one that is rooted not just in attitudes toward America but in China's proud but sometimes insecure view of itself," Fisher said.
Jackie Chan also said China is a relatively young country, where in the first half of its history it was "bullied by so many people", and that it only achieved "real success" in the past decade.
"Our country's leaders admit they are corrupted, etcetera. We are improving — I can see our country is constantly improving and learning," he said, adding that everyone is making an issue out of China because it is "powerful" now.
Chan, who is known for his martial arts skills and daring stunt work, sparked criticism in Hong Kong, which was returned to China in 1997, after he reportedly told a Chinese magazine last December that protest in the city should be restricted.
In the same interview, he said that he was bullied by Hong Kong triads and had to hide in the United States. He also said he needed to carry a gun everyday to protect himself, leading to a police investigation.

"Even in my day job working in microfinance, I don't think I get as close to the personal stories as I do when I translate. I find them so compelling, and I can't forget the stories I read. I feel like I really get to understand what people's lives are like."
City: Fort Collins, CO
Language: Russian
Team: Russiva
Time with Kiva: 5 years
Outstanding Contribution to Kiva: JD is not only a translation volunteer, he is also the former Director of Social Performance and the Kiva Fellows Program at Kiva -- he's the person who created Social Performance badges. He gives freely of his time, having reviewed more than 1125 loans to date. JD is now directing Truelift, working to renew the pro-poor focus of microfinance, and he runs an annual trip called "Bike Zambia" to raise awareness of poverty and AIDS in Africa.
Read on for a brief Q&A with this accomplished volunteer.
How did you find out about Kiva?
I was serving in the Peace Corps in Bulgaria when Kiva was starting out, and a Peace Corps buddy of mine was facilitating one of Kiva's first four partnerships. It caught my attention again when I was working at Acción in Boston, and I thought, "What is this Kiva thing?" I was enchanted by how accessible it made microfinance.
Why do you choose to volunteer your time with Kiva?
Translating serves as a good reminder of the personal stories behind microfinance. Although I work in this field, I think that sometimes when you work on something, you get far away from the beneficiaries.
Also, I'm a grammar geek, and I like when I can help make a borrower's story more accessible just by putting a paragraph break in the right place. From my time at Kiva, I know that loans from Eastern Europe and Central Asia are not as popular as other locations, so I like being able to help tell the stories of these borrowers.
What is your favorite partner or region?
I may understand Kiva's Field Partners better than the average translator, because I did social audits and created the Social Performance badges in my time there. The quality of the work that an MFI does really matters to me. Bai Tushum in Kyrgyzstan is one of my favorite field partners -- they are very successful and they're devoted to reaching vulnerable people, especially in an environment where commercialization of microfinance dominates.
Tell us about a memorable profile that you reviewed.
One of the first loans I translated was very memorable. It was one that I translated and then immediately donated to. It was for a woman named Manzura who sells fabrics at her local market. Her husband had left her because she was incapable of bearing children, so she went to the orphanage and adopted two kids. She was doing what she needed to do to raise those kids. I can still see her picture in my mind.
Where is your favorite place in the world to travel?
I've done a lot of travel both personally and for my work, and Mongolia is still at the top of my list. I had an incredible time there when I went in 2002 for about five weeks. No person had any interest in, or even asked about, my job. Instead they asked about my siblings and our birth order. The hospitality of the people was also remarkable. Mongolia was the first place I traveled where I realized the world was not at all the way I thought it was.
Tell us an unusual fact about yourself.
I used to blow glass in college. In fact, that was my minor. I used to like making things that were useful, like drinking glasses, plates, and vases. One of the assignments was to make a glass for your best friend, and I actually did that for a number of my friends. It was fun to think about what color and shape would best suit the person. I still use some of the glasswork I made!

Photo Gallery: Dramatic Tiled Interiors
Add character to kitchens and baths.
Colour blocking delineates the kitchen in an open concept space.
Inspired by the building's 1960s swimming pool, the homeowner used glossy turqouise subway tiles for the kitchen backsplash. That hue, paired with grey and white walls, amps up the seaside vibe of this space.
Use tile to create a showstopping accent wall.
"This ensuite bathroom is designed to highlight mosaic tiles in a panel that frames the freestanding wood tub," explains 3rd Uncle principal Arriz Hassam. "This brings out the simple sculptural quality of the tub and the graphic pattern creates an intimate scale to the large room. The rest of the room is finished in a warm white limestone."
See more 3rd Uncle Design projects in our photo gallery.
Cork offers an alternative to traditional tiles.
Homeowner Git Gustavsson sourced this European-looking console table to use as a vanity — the extra-long drawers and shelf offer extra storage space for baskets and toiletries. The floor-to-ceiling, copper-hued cork penny tiles have all the impact of a colour-blocked wall, but are much easier to maintain and clean in a humid bathroom than paint.
See the before shot in our Bathroom Makeovers photo gallery, plus watch a video tour of this bathroom. See more examples of stunning tiles in our Dramatic Tiled Rooms gallery.
A silver and white palette evokes serenity and glamour.
Floor to ceiling, damask-patterned Bisazza tiles with an opalescent sheen make a statement in this large bathroom. Using a nook by a picture window for a freestanding bathtub adds more drama, while an oversized feather chandelier completes the luxe, feminine look. Top-of-the-line finishes such as these eliminate the need for any further accessories.
Watch a tour of this bathroom and connected bedroom. Plus, see more Dramatic Bathrooms and Spa-Like Bathrooms.
A wood vanity and pink accents soften this modern space.
In this dark bathroom, reflective surfaces are used to play up the natural light filtering through an arched window. High-gloss white subway tile lining the shower area and luminous silver mosaic tile on the dividing wall bounce light around the room and create contrast with the matte walls and floor.

White stools at the kitchen island, pale counters, stainless steel and a dynamic glass-tile backsplash keep this kitchen looking fresh.

Mini pebble-coloured subway tiles offer a cool counterpoint to warm wood floors.
Custom Shaker-style doors, oversize brushed-nickel hardware and a marble countertop are just a few of the finishes that earned Rhonda Short of Toronto first prize in our 2007 design contest. New windows and an open floor plan make it a bright, practical kitchen for cooking and baking.

An ivory vanity, grey tile and glamorous lighting combine in this romantic-yet-modern design.
Traditional finishes like the marble floors and countertop were combined with modern chrome hardware and a mosaic tile backsplash for a fresh, contemporary look.
Bold decorating ideas inform the look of a designer's modern home makeover.
The floor of this tiny bathroom is tiled in a graphic pattern, making the space feel much larger. A sleek sill-less glass-enclosed shower and slim wall-hung sink and toilet allow the floor to remain the focal point. A recessed medicine cabinet over the sink offers hidden storage.

A warm and feminine space.
Top L.A. designer Kelly Wearstler created this room to offer an unexpected thrill and a complexion-friendly backdrop. "Everyone looks good in pink!" she says. Wrapped in wide ribbons of iridescent tile, this bathroom is an ode to mosaics. The wet room's slick, clean-lined fixtures and transparent glass door hold their own next to the bold stripes.

Two Dimensional Blood Shear Modeling in a Blood Cooling Catheter
A CFD cardiac catheter model was developed to determine the potential for blood hemolysis during administration of local therapeutic hypothermia using a CoolGuide catheter. In vivo animal studies have shown that mild hypothermia may reduce reperfusion injury often associated with heart attack. The CoolGuide Catheter System (CCS) delivers rapid local cooling through a cardiac catheter, reducing tissue temperatures 2 – 4oC within five minutes. During system operation blood is externally cooled and delivered to cardiac tissue through a catheter. The pressure drop through the catheter imposes shear stress on blood. Hemolysis can result if shear stress exceeds 150 Pa. The CFD model considers a 6Fr catheter with and without a 3.556E-4m guide wire insert during typical operation of the CCS.

Displaying items by tag: Joomla!
On Saturday, March 18, 2017, I will present Great Association Websites on behalf of the Washington, DC Chapter of the Community Associations Institute.
Please contact me if you are interested in attending. As soon as I have the final flyer, I will post it here.
Simon Kloostra's book, Joomla! 3 SEO and Performance, is a very focused, short book that is chock full of useful tips and links to resources that Joomla! website developers and administrators may not be aware of. As a long-time Joomla! user and founding member of the Northern Virginia Joomla! Users Group, I find that this book fills a gap on my Joomla! bookshelf.
Simon Kloostra (see his site at joomlaseo.com) is clearly an authority on Joomla! and SEO, but he avoids unnecessary jargon, provides context, and explains SEO in a clear and pleasant style. As of the date of this review, the book is quite current, which is usually a challenge with books. It includes evaluations of and recommendations for dozens of resources to consider for your toolkit.
One frequent question in user group meetings is which commercial template provider is best. This book does get specific and list well-regarded template providers, and also delves into the SEO considerations of template design. This which gives the site developers something more to consider in making their template selection or development decisions.
Perhaps even more valuable is his coverage of ways to maximize Joomla! performance. We have all seen sites that are slower than they need to be; this book explains what to do about it and provides a clear explanation of caching options and ways to optimize both css and javascript files.
Even those with good backgrounds in SEO and Joomla! will find additional insights that will justify their investment in buying and reading this book.
Hey, folks, Joomla! 3.4 has front-end module editing and "I am not a Robot" recaptcha!
These are two things among many that I know my customers will enjoy.
I will expound on it more when I have a few minutes! Just didn't want to tive the impression that I'm napping!
Joomla! 3.2 was released November 6, 2013. Key new features include:
- Version Control - Enables a Joomla administrator to revert to an older version of content on a website and compare side-by-side to see what changes have been made.
- Rapid Application Development (RAD) - RAD simplifies the process for a developer to write their own Joomla extensions; apps that enhance a Joomla site like calendars, videos or polls
- Extension Finder - This simplifies the process of searching for and installing Joomla extensions by allowing users to do all that directly from within their admin view with just a few clicks. The previous processes included separate steps to first search for and download extensions to a desktop, and then log in to the Joomla admin view and install those extensions.
- Bcrypt - A strong encryption method that scrambles passwords stored in a Joomla website's database.
- Two-factor Authentication - In order for a change to be made to a Joomla website, there can be an optional requirement for a user to fill out another form of authentication (other than a username/password). Two-factor authentication can be anything like entering an auto-generated code that is texted to a person's mobile phone.
- User Interface Improvements - The new Joomla 3.2 administration interface is more streamlined and task-focused.
- Iimproved template manager
- Multi-lingual site installer,
- Improved WYSIWYG editor
- Micro-data semantics library
- HTML form fields and attributes.
We will discuss Joomla! 3.2 at our November 20, 2013 Northern Virginia Joomla! Users Group Meeting. See the event on Meetup.
In addition to the press releases all around the web, here is Tim Plummer's briefing on the new features:
Talltree South, an award-winning condo community association, provides its owners and tenants handbook, including rules and regulations,in searchable form via its website. Newsletters, e-mail and e-mail-to-text notices, and a window to its Google calendar are also provided to enhance communication with owners and tenants.
Ursa Major constructed the site in Joomla! 1.5 and later upgraded it to 2.5 and then 3.x. The content-rich site is very functional. Plans are to update its look in the coming year.
JMA Solutions, an award-winning government contractor, wanted a site that highlighted their corporate capabilities and awards, advertised their job openings, and provided internal forms and documents for employees.
Ursa Major provided quick turn-around on a conversion from the old website, trained the internal site administrators, and later upgraded the site.
More recently, Ursa Major led an internal Website Refresh group at JMA Solutions to refresh the site and provide a feature on the front page for current announcements.
The Northern Virginia Association of REALTORS ® (NVAR) engaged Ursa Major Consulting to provide Joomla! expertise in supporting the transition to a new website.
A usability study and brand design was done by WM Design Group.
Ursa Major supported the high-traffic, high-content site in Joomla! for several years before its recent transition to integrate with a membership management soution.
We recently had the opportunity to create a new Joomla! website for JMA Solutions. Their prior website had been a Cold Fusion site (yes, I've done that in the past), but their hosting provider was pulling the plug on Cold Fusion.
Within two weeks, and over the Thanksgiving holiday, the new website was up and running. It incorporates both enhanced information on the company and the awards they've won, and an employee portal with internal policies, forms, calendar, and other features.
Everyone was very pleased with the new site, which is at www.jma-solutions.com.

I have recently heard the opinion expressed by some genealogists that the only acceptable family history is one in which each and every one of the facts it contains have sources cited verifying the fact to be correct. To do less, the argument suggests, is simply 'name collecting.'
I tend to take a more 'middle of the road' approach in this debate. Without a doubt there is information available, and in fact even posted on reputable genealogical websites, that is flawed. I am not so much a purist however to disregard all information because it's lacking source citations.
My family history database has grown significantly this past year as the result of being able to connect with other researchers and/or family members who have shared their information collaboratively but not all of which is sourced. Including their information in my database provides me with the opportunity to collect the names of ancestors that I can go back to later when I have the time to take a more scholarly approach to verifying the information. I have encountered even recently incidents in which both myself and a colleague researcher have been incorrect in part but by putting the two halves together, I have been able to find the records that set things straight.
So my advice is to accept information but only after considering the source, recognizing that there is still work ahead and that by accepting the information, you are also accepting the challenge of doing the research alone or in collaboration with fellow genealogists whom I have found are always willing to share.

Southwestern Receives $1.15 Million Grant from The Brown Foundation, Inc.
June 17, 2013
June 17, 2013
Southwestern University has received a $1.15 million grant from The Brown Foundation, Inc. of Houston.
One million dollars of the grant will go toward construction of the university's new science center, and will allow the university to claim a $1 million challenge grant from the J.E. and L.E. Mabee Foundation of Tulsa, Okla. In January, the Mabee Foundation offered Southwestern $1 million in matching funds for the science center if it could raise an additional $1 million by the end of 2013.
This grant is the second one The Brown Foundation, Inc. has given for construction of Southwestern's new science center. The foundation gave an initial $1 million grant for the project in 2012.
With the new grant from The Brown Foundation, Inc. and the matching grant from the Mabee Foundation, Southwestern has raised $8 million of the $24 million needed for the new science center. This will be enough to begin work on the first phase of the project, which will add 23,700 square feet of space to Southwestern's existing Fondren-Jones Science Building. This will be done by constructing an L-shaped addition on the southeast corner of the existing building. Work on this part of the project is expected to begin in the spring of 2014.
The second phase of the project will be the complete remodeling of the original 1954 section of the science building. When that is completed, a new three-story entrance will be built on the northwest side of the building. The finished building will have 103,000 square feet for classrooms, offices, seminar rooms and laboratories.
"We are very grateful that The Brown Foundation, Inc. continues to believe in Southwestern's aspirations," said President Jake B. Schrum. "It was their support that allowed Southwestern to envision itself as a national liberal arts college in the 1980s and their very generous support of our new science facility encourages us to compete nationally in the sciences."
The new grant from The Brown Foundation, Inc. brings to $146 million the total raised to date for Thinking Ahead: The Southwestern Campaign, which was publicly launched in March 2006. Southwestern is trying to complete the $150 million campaign by the time President Schrum retires from Southwestern at the end of June.
Other major gifts that have been received to support phase one of the science center project include a $3 million gift from The Cullen Foundation, a $1 million gift from the Fondren Foundation, and $350,000 from the Albert and Margaret Alkek Foundation.
The remaining $150,000 of the new Brown Foundation grant will go to the Jake and Jane Schrum Paideia Fund, which was established in honor of retiring President Schrum and his wife, Jane.
