Students can choose to answer one of the five available questions. This is a wonderful way to share your interest while demonstrating some further creativity. The questions for the 2018-2019 application season are below.
- Imagine it is the morning of August 28, 1963 and Twitter has already been developed. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has contracted the flu. Rather than giving his historic "I Have a Dream" speech from the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC, he instead sends out a Tweet that highlights the central point of his speech. What does he Tweet (in true Twitter fashion, no longer than 280 characters) and why?
- A time traveling connoisseur gives you a remote with two buttons: pause and rewind. Which would you prefer to use on your own life and why?
- Congratulations! You have been elected to give a TED Talk. You will give an 18-minute presentation on the topic of your choice to a room full of people who are eager to hear your insights. This talk will also be recorded and made available online, with the opportunity to go viral and affect millions. What is the title of your talk? What is the message you are trying to get across? What would you say in the final minute of the presentation that would leave a lasting impression? Explain.
- At the University of Vermont, we have a set of core values called Our Common Ground, which define how we work, live, study, do research, and participate as members of the community. Each core value statement falls under one of the following words: Respect, Integrity, Innovation, Openness, Justice, and Responsibility. Choose one word from Our Common Ground and explain why it is important to you, how it has impacted you, and how you have incorporated it into your life.

Funniest/Most Insightful Comments Of The Week At Techdirt
from the heads-i-win,-tails-you-lose dept
Lyric sites have always been among the strangest targets that copyright holders take aim at, and the NMPA's attack on RapGenius — a site full of commentary, conversation and analysis — takes things to a new and despicable level. But, as with so many condemnations by copyright holders, there's an inherent contradiction here, which our anonymous Most Insightful comment points out:
Here's a crazy idea please hear me out...
If the lyric sites are are making so much money and taking money away from the record companies and songwriters then WHY DON'T THE RECORD COMPANIES AND SONGWRITERS MAKE LYRIC SITES THEMSELVES AND PROFIT???
The void being filled is of their own making.
Of course, the industry old guard is terrified of that argument, because it applies just as well to free music and the supposed millions of dollars that they insist pirates are raking in with it.
The real thievery, as we've noted time and time again, happens when works are removed from the public domain, because then something actually is being taken away, as it was recently in the UK. That notion was contested on the grounds that these works aren't missing if you are willing to pay for them — but Karl won second place for insightful by putting that notion to bed:
If those works go out of print, then they absolutely are missing.
If some derivative work is not allowed by the copyright holder, then that work absolutely is missing.
If orchestras can't afford to perform that music now, their performances absolutely are missing.
Yes, it is "stealing." At least, closer to "stealing" than infringement is.
For editor's choice on the insightful side, we'll start with one more comment from that same post, in which That One Guy points out how every unjustified extension of copyright further erodes public respect for the law:
Stuff like this is why the more people learn about copyright law, and it's history, the more they ignore it or hold it in contempt.
Retroactive copyright term extensions? The entire premise of copyright is the creator has X number of years of exclusive use of the copyright, and then it passes to the public. That's the 'deal' as it were, between the public and the creators.
To then have the deal changed, after the fact and entirely in the favor of corporations(because the second copyright duration was extended past 'life of the creator', it became crystal clear and irrefutable that the law was being written for companies, not creators), means the 'deal' was broken, and the promise of 'the creator owns it now, but after a set amount of time passes ownership moves to the public' was shown to be nothing but a lie, and broken deals, and promises based on lies, are two things that most don't care for, and certainly don't respect.
Next, we'll look at one of the reasons we constantly face such bad deals: Duke provided an excellent summary of how agreements like the TPP are used to ratchet up copyright law:
It's a fairly standard process now. Country A expands copyright law. Then they push a treaty or agreement which encourages other countries to match them. Except the treaty has room for uncertainty; enough so that, before it is in force, the countries can claim that it is compatible with their existing laws, but afterwards can be used to justify an expansion.
And so one country goes further than the others (with duration that's currently Mexico, with the longest duration - and it's pushing for some longer copyright in TPP, along with the US). And then it starts again, with that country leading the way to push their position on others.
But at each level the treaty locks things into place, so even if things go wrong, copyright can never get reduced or shortened. Even if all the countries realise they don't actually want such strong laws, they can't do anything without re-negotiating the treaty (and possibly not even then, if it has investor-state dispute resolution procedures).
Copyright always gets bigger, never smaller.
There's a good explicit example of this in the recent change to UK copyright law (covered by Techdirt here). It extends copyright in various situations, including some where it returns works that were in the public domain back into copyright. But then there is a specific section that makes it clear that even if the drafters have screwed up somewhere and made copyright shorter for some works, the old term will still apply. It's a one-way process.
Over on the funny side, we start with the return of the 'Attribution Troll' who may or may not be Shaun Shane. Amidst all the weirdness in that story, one thing is certain: we're all sick of hearing that one-line poem. An anonymous commenter took first place for funny by expressing this with a more physiologically literal reading:
IF only our tongues were made of glass, we wouldn't be alive to hear this shit.
In second place we've got a joke that I cannot myself comment on, as I have little to no knowledge of Dr. Who — but with the son of the original writer looking to cash in on the character's ongoing popularity, S. T. Stone had his own glimpse of the future:
I'd tell you how Whovians will respond to this, but…spoilers!
(I assumed their response would be to hold hands and sing, sing without Tardis, sing without Sonic Screwdrivers or Daleks — but I may be mashing up two franchises.)
For editor's choice on the funny side, we start out on our post about Nutribullet trademark trolling, where one anonymous commenter did their best impersonation of a moron in a hurry:
Holy cow! I read the word "Nutribullet" on Techdirt, got confused, and thought I was on Nutribullet's official website for a moment.
Seriously though, someone needs to fire a Nutribullet at these clowns.
And finally we've got DannyB with his take on the TSA's new barely-better-than-a-coin-flip program:
Look Tim,
While this billion dollar program may be only slightly more accurate, at least it does not infringe upon my patent.
My patent is for a method and system for making binary decisions based on the launching of a flat round decision support device into the air and making a determination of the outcome based on which side the decision support device lands on.
I will also sell these decision support devices. A basic model for $10 is made of copper and is decorated with a picture of Lincoln on one side. A more expensive $25 model has a picture of George Washington and is constructed using superior metals.
This is a valuable patent from which I anticipate making a mint (no pun intended).
This is NOT a lame software patent. This is a patent on genuine hardware contributing a genuine advance in the important field of executive management decision making which has major applications in the areas of business, commerce, sporting events and terrorist detection.
Now if only he could secure the copyright on the Eenie Meenie poem, he'd have a near-total monopoly.
That's all for this week, folks!

Getaway Day
The 12:15 p.m. getaway start for Buffalo gives the Herd a head start to Durham but you have deal with the heat. And it is HOT. Good thing the humidity isn't as high as what had been in the past but the heat will be something to keep an eye on if either pitcher starts to labor today. Catcher Chris Gemenez was already slamming Gatorade in the lobby this morning too.
Historically, Charlotte has not been kind to Buffalo. The two wins in the series are the most by the Bisons since taking 3-of-4 in 2005, a feat they hope to match today.
TODAY'S GAME: This afternoon, the Buffalo Bisons take on the Charlotte Knights in the final game of a four-game series from Knights Stadium (12:15 p.m.). The Herd is looking for the series win after taking a 2-1 advantage with last night's 5-0 win. The Bisons are now 2-1 on an eight-game roadtrip that will take them to Durham, July 29- August 1. On the mound today for the Herd is LHP John Halama. The southpaw has thrown back-to-back complete games since the All-Star break. Charlotte will send out LHP Wes Whisler.
TODAY'S STARTER: John Halama–
Last Game: 7/22 vNOR: (W, 9.0IP, CG, 9H, 2R, 0ER, 4K), Bisons' 4-2 win.
-2008 w/ Bisons: (7-2, 4.15)(9GS, 2CG, 60.2IP, 64H, 30R, 28ER, 10BB, 21K).
-2008 w/ So. Maryland (IND): (4-1, 1.88)(8GS, 56.2IP, 47H, 13R, 12ER, 8BB, 48K).
-2007 w/ Long Island (IND): (8-10, 4.14)(26GS, 167.1IP, 201H, 94R, 77ER, 44BB, 93K).
-Career 56-48 with a 4.65ERA in 262 Major League Games (911.0IP, 492K).
-Originally a 23rd round pick (640th overall) of Houston in 1994 amateur draft.
-Signed as a free agent on June 7, 2008.
COMPLETE PITCHER: LHP John Halama has thrown nine-inning complete games in each of his last two starts. He started the second half by allowing just two runs in a 10-2 victory over Richmond on July 17. Last Tuesday, Halama gave up just two unearned runs in nine innings to beat Norfolk, 4-2. The southpaw did not walk a batter in either game. In his last seven starts, Halama is 6-1 with a 3.62ERA (49.2IP, 20ER, 6BB, 15K). He leads the Bisons with seven wins.
SHUTOUT WEEKEND: With victories of 4-0 and 5-0 over the weekend, the Bisons have posted back-to-back shutouts for the first time in over two years. Herd pitchers allowed just eight singles and five walks to the Knights over the weekend. The last time the Bisons had two straight shutouts was a doubleheader sweep in Durham, June 15-2006 (3-0, 4-0).
BIG GAME TODD: OF Todd Linden has now reached base in 18 consecutive games, hitting .338 (23-68) since July 7. Over the span the outfielder has eight doubles, two home runs, 11RBI, 10 walks and 11 runs scored. The stretch has raised his average 30 points from .246 – .276.
BISONS BITS: INF Morgan Ensberg hit the Bisons first grand slam since INF Andy Marte hit one on July 28, 2007 in Syracuse…OF Brad Snyder is 8 for his last 17 (.471) with 3 doubles, 1 home run and 4RBI…C Chris Gimenez has reached base safely in 7 straight games, hitting .400 (10-25) with 8 walks.

LaSalle softball tournament, car show Sunday to benefit cancer patient
LASALLE — Twelve years ago, when Carla Moser of LaSalle was very sick and in the hospital for nine months, her kids put together a softball tournament to help raise money to pay her medical bills.
After Moser recovered, the family has organized an annual softball tournament in LaSalle ever since and raised money to help a different person each year. This year's fundraiser will be held Sunday.
It will benefit Jodi Joseph, who is being treated for stage 3 melanoma. Joseph has already been through surgeries and chemotherapy and will require more medical care. Joseph, who grew up in LaSalle, has an 18-month-old daughter, Payton.
Moser puts on the annual benefit with the help of her children, Mark and Brenda Moser and Ron and Melissa Mijares. In addition to the softball tournament, there will be a car show this year.
Moser said that in a small town, it's common to hear about people who might need financial help. Since the tournament has gone on, Moser and her children get suggestions on who to benefit each year. She said they'd like to help everyone, but in the end they have to choose one person.
The softball tournament will take place as usual this year at the LaSalle Softball Fields. There is a full slate of teams, which will play one-pitch turkey trot style softball. This method of game play only takes about half an hour per game. The public is invited to watch, and concessions will be available for sale.
There will also be a raffle, with drawings staring at noon. Tickets for assorted smaller prizes are $5 for six tickets. There is also a larger raffle with $5 tickets. The prizes for the larger raffle are a handmade quilt, a flat screen TV and two half hogs, cut and wrapped. The prizes come from community donations.
"Our community gives us marvelous support," Moser said.
For the first time, there will be a benefit car show in conjunction with the softball tournament. The car show will take place from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at La Salle Depot McMahan Center, next to the ball field so the two are easily accessible from one another.
Entrants may register their cars the day of the show. The entry fee is $25. Prizes will be awarded for best overall car, judged by Spradley Barr Ford.
For more information about the softball tournament, call Ron Mijares at (970) 217-6594. For more information about the car show, call Mark Moser at (970) 539-1556.

Email is Not Dead…AgainCarly Brantz
Is email dead? Of course not but if you're not convinced here are some reasons why email is very much alive.
Email is the engine of the social web. According to Radicati, as of 2011, there were 3.1 billion email accounts worldwide – and it is these accounts that are fueling the amazing growth of social networks like Facebook and Twitter. How do people sign-up for a social network? With an email address. How do they receive alerts and communications about those accounts? Via their email address. In fact, the email address is often the only piece of personal contact information social networks (and many other online businesses) have for their customers. When was the last time you received a letter or phone call from Facebook?
Businesses need email for everything. Consumer email habits are changing rapidly as other communication platforms (text, instant message, twitter, etc.) emerge but for businesses email is the only game in town. Email is an absolutely essential tool for both internal and external communications. It is has largely replaced telephones for day-to-day interactions. While other channels, particularly instant messaging are widely used, email remains the "official" channel of global business. The adoption of mobile devices by business professionals has made the use of email that much more essential, with users "plugged-in" 24/7.
Email is the connector between the mobile web and mobile apps. Mobile is the new frontier of communications, outpacing the standard web in growth, access and a slew of other statistics. Yet, the mobile world remains fragmented between mobile web (not great) and mobile apps (very awesome). The ability to communicate with customers and connect with them via email is essential to any all businesses engaged in this new medium. Thirty percent of U.S. mobile users check email using a phone.
Size does matter. Email is the most popular Internet technology by far. With more than 3 billion accounts worldwide, trillions of messages sent each month, users accessing accounts an average of six-times per day – this channel isn't going anywhere. The reality is that email is more embedded than ever in our daily lives – and there is no other medium that is as open, adaptable, inexpensive and accessible.
Email isn't dying it's changing as we change. It is for this reason more than any other that this channel is here to stay. For more information on Leveraging Transactional Email for Marketing Success, download our guide here.

I have installed Puppy to the internal flash drive of my eeepc and it works fine. However the first time I shutdown it asks me where I want to save my session and I am given two options: save to file or save to drive.
I want to know whether the second option (which is preferable) constantly writes changes to the flash drive in real time or whether data is only written to the drive when you close down. I know that when you run puppy from a CD or external flash drive etc changes are only saved at the end of the session. Is this the same on an internal flash drive install? I am sure this has been thought through, but I would like someone with Puppy credibility to confirm this so I do not shorten the life of the flash drive with constant read/writes.

I have done a bit more digging and I think that the drive is being written to constantly in /etc/rc.d/PUPSTATE it says PUPMODE=6 and PMEDIA='ideflash'. Apparantly I should be in PUPMODE=13 which will only write to the drive when I shutdown or every thirty minutes etc. Looks like I will have to try and force PUPMODE=13.

installing Pupeee to the eeepc
I have now decided that rather than trying to force PUPMODE=13 it will be safer if I simply run the eeepc from a removable sd card rather than from the internal flash drive. I have actually wiped the internal drive completely so the eeepc boots from the sd card automatically when it can't find a boot flag on the internal drive. This also gives me 4Gb of storage on the internal drive. ( I made a backup of the original partitions using Pudd). I do not know by how much constant writing to the internal disk would reduce its life span, but an external sd cards are cheap and easy to replace. I will post this message on the Pupeee thread as well!

Really interrested in this, can we get some more people in this thread? I want to force my eeepc to write to the internal SD as little as possible. How can this be done? Having PMEDIA=ideflash doesn't seem to do anything.

dinky, looks like your card is too good at pretending to be a drive.
solution here:
Booting and running with CF card in IDE adaptor (Solved)
I'm sure I've told Barry about it but the fix isn't in 4.02
An alternative idea would be one of the boot methods presented in this thread:

Post subject: eeepc internal drive
If you install pupeee to the internal drive, it will be a frugal install anyway - if you then save the changes in a file rather than on the drive it will only write to it when you shutdown!
This will limit the save size to 1.25G approx, but you can still save data on the rest of the drive manually anyway.
ps. I have now had a play with the Windoze XP version and it is very slow and needs a lot of tweaking to make it work correctly. Also I had to spend the whole day installing antivirus software, open office etc because nothing is included. And then SP3 wouldn't fit on the drive anyway

Actually drbongo, that's not correct. Puppy does not automatically save intermittently to the save file with a frugal install. When you shut down your eeepc, you will see the text saying 'mounted directly on top layer', this means there's been no need to save the file. Much faster, but will wear out your laptop very quickly. Flash cards aren't made for constant writes. You need to follow Hairy Will's advice above. Also, the save file isn't limited to 1.25 Gb, you can increase it easily. I think 1.8 is the size Barry has recommended not to go over, but as this was using unionfs, this might change using aufs.
Re ms windows, yuck.... I wouldn't install it to an eeepc. At least, if I did, it would be an XP mini version... but even so, I can't think of anything I'd use it for... impressing friends who already use windows? Hmmmm.

Post subject: How can I install Puppy to an eepc
Hi I have tried installing from a USB drive to the internal Flash/SD card using the PUI but I get an error each time when I try to point the installer to the files on the USB drive. Could I just copy the files from the USB onto the internal card, or would that cause problems.
I have read the tutorial, but this only deals with installing to removable SD card, so does not suit my situation.
Any help would be appreciated

My mistake!
Dinky you are right! I didn't have an eeepc with me and was relying on my deteriorating grey matter to remember what I did. I have checked and you are right, even though it is saved to a file it is mounted directly so will be read writing regularly.
However, when I first noticed this I did a bit of research and many people are of the opinion that this internal SSD is designed for 100,000-200,000 read/write cycles, presuming the wear balancing works correctly the drive will outlast the useful life of the eeepc. Of course that is just theory, we won't actually know until eeepc's start dying!
I am not sure how the installed Xandros system handles this, but it boots from a read only partition and presumably writes changes to the home partition. I don't know whether this happens regularly or when you log off.
The windows version has the virtual memory turned off, and seems to save changes on the fly. Does this mean Asus have taken account of this, or conveniently ignored the issue?
I am probably going to run Puppy off the external SD card for now, and just use the internal drive to store data, at least until this issue is resolved in the a later release.

Internal SSD install!
Installing Puppy to the internal drive is very straight-forward, the only issue you might find is that you have to point PUI to the correct folder which will mean mounting the usb drive manually to get access to the relevant files. They will then be listed in sda1 (or similar). Make sure you can see the vmlinuz file etc in the right hand window.
You also need to choose the option to install to internal flash drive (CF connected to IDE). Don't use the standard install to flash option.
Post back if you are still having problems.

Thanks drbongo,
I have installed the files now, but the eeepc takes longer to boot up booting puppy from the internal SD than it does when it boots up with puppy from a attached USB drive. In all the boot time from the SD is 90secs from the USB 45 secs.
Have you experienced something similar.

Still working on that one Sam, my boot time running TigerPup is massive, about 2 minutes. That said, MUCH fastethan the default Xandros when booted, and much cooler too. I can live with the trade off. Glad you got them installed, I just copied them.
Yeah, I'm not sure about the drive life... I don't think the eepc's were designed to be used for more than a few years though... world's first disposable laptops? We're runnign puppy though, which is designed to breathe life into old, or low-powered, eqiupment. Am planning on minimizing the writes to the internal drive as much as possible, so I can use this laptop for longer than it's "expected lifespan".
Found it was a bit slow without a swap partition (which Xandros doesn't include), so I'm using a 1Gb flash card in the card reader formmatted to a swap partition. Speeds it up considerably. I might put more ram in it at some point, but it's fine for now. Cheers.

Post subject: remastering with edited init...
Subject description: how the heck do I force pupmode13 through a remaster?
Hairywill, I've been creating a remaster of TigerPup for the eeepc, with the edited version of init I created included. This forces puppy into using pupmode 13. Unfortunately I'm unable to keep this in a remaster... any idea how to do this? Whenever I try, and replace initrd.gz in "puppylivecdbuild" with the updated version, I get "kernel panic-attempted to kill init" on booting up. This of course goes away, and works fine when I use an init file that's not been edited. If I create a pupsave file, and swap change my initrd.gz file to the updated version while using the pupsave file, all is good. So how the heck do I manage this for a remaster? I'm using the "remaster live cd" script included with puppy 3.01. Thanks!

Sorry I haven't got a clue. I have never used the remaster wizard.
I would be inclined to try assembling the iso manually to discount the wizard as the problem.

There's no doubt that GPGPU or GPU Computing is becoming a big business. After speaking with sources close to the company, we learned that NVIDIA scored a great deal with Amazon for its Amazon Web Services (AWS)....we managed to learn that Amazon, one of leading if not the leading provider of online services made its bed and decided to go with Nvidia, ordering around 10,000 boards for their Elastic Computer Cloud (EC2). More precisely, for the "HPC on Amazon EC2".

Inventors who'd like to make the future predicted in "Back to the Future: Part II" a reality still have two years to come up with a hoverboard like the one Marty McFly rode when he traveled to 2015. The Zboard, though, a new electronic skateboard, gets us at least partway there.
The board goes 5 to 10 miles on a charge, and users can zip along at up to 17 miles per hour. Unlike many other electronic options, there's no remote required. Just lean forward to set the board in motion or to speed up. Lean back to slow down and stop. Early buyers of the board, which starts at $650, have helped shape it, says maker Ben Forman. Among their request: wheel wells, and a kick plate for easier maneuvering. (Expensive? Yes. But it's lighter, cheaper and faster than some of the other CES gadgets we've seen, like last year's Solowheel launch.)
However, the Zboard may appeal more to commuters than to skate-park goers. The electronics are under the board, which means its not well-suited for tricks, says Forman. "It's really for transportation," he says.
Senior consumer reporter and "Deal of Day" columnist Kelli B. Grant travels to Las Vegas to find the best, the worst, and the most hyped gadgets at this year's Consumer Electronics Show. Join her as she roams the exhibit floor for three days, with dispatches here and on Twitter @kelligrant

Aah I see. Too bad it couldn't be made faster, but nice job nonetheless. I'm glad to see that some of the obscure consoles are getting some love too.
I wonder how feasible a SNES emu would be... I know that people can simply use SNESAdvance through gp-SP Nspire, but I heard that SNES advance was extremely unreliable.
Shaq-Fu on the TI-Nspire But more seriously, Mario Kart will rule on that calc. Are there frame-skipping options to improve speed like in TI-Boy CSE?
EDIT: By the way I cannot run PocketSNES on my TI-Nspire. I am using Ndless 3.1 revision r914 on OS 3.1 and when I run the emulator, the calc simply reboots.
Do you mean RAM or Flash? I got 67.3 MB out of 115.2 MB.
Ah I see. I tried a different Ndless config/resource copy and still no luckI can't even play any game because the emulator simply won't start at all. It just shuts off the calc then reboots. I'll reformat my calc then reinstall OS 3.1 once I finished recharging it. Could it be hardware issues? Because I had troubles running some other Ndless programs in the past.
Yeah I definitively think it's a NAND corruption or hardware issue. Possibly caused by past mistakes with past Ndless installs (maybe I accidentally set the AHB too low in Nover once?)

Carl's Jr. and Hardee's Announce Winner of Black Beauty Car from "The Green Hornet" Movie
Jonathon Hanington from Tualatin, Ore., is the lucky winner of "The Key to Black Beauty" sweepstakes
CARPINTERIA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Someone in Oregon has the sweetest ride around. Carl's Jr.® and Hardee's®, announced today that Jonathon Hanington of Tualatin, Ore., officially won Black Beauty, one of the fully loaded prop cars from the Columbia Pictures movie "The Green Hornet." The car, offered as the grand prize in the fast food chains' "The Key to Black Beauty" instant win game and sweepstakes, was delivered to Hanington on Friday, March 4, at the Carl's Jr. located in his hometown of Tualatin, Ore. Hanington, a 27-year-old full-time student and Army reservist, received the keys from Happy Star, the iconic mascot of Carl's Jr. and Hardee's. Hanington was joined by nearly 50 friends and family members to check out his sweet new ride and enjoy dinner at the restaurant, along with Carl's Jr. franchise owners Dan Gjurgevich and Joe Karcher.
"When I was notified that I won Black Beauty, I couldn't believe it – I thought it was a prank call. It was unreal," said Hanington. "I loved the Green Hornet movie and this car just looks so awesome. It's decked out with realistic-looking prop machine guns and rocket launchers. It doesn't get cooler than that."
Hanington had the option to receive the car in legally operable mode, with no visible weapons, but chose for it to be delivered non-legally operable, loaded with prop weaponry from the movie. The car, based on the Chrysler Imperial Crown body style, which was produced in 1964, 1965 and 1966, is suped up with top-of-the-line, stunt-ready (but nonfunctioning) accessories, including prop hood machine guns and front and rear bumper rockets.
"The Black Beauty is one of the coolest, most recognizable cars around, and we're thrilled we were able to partner with Sony Pictures and Dr. Pepper to give it away to one of our guests," said Brad Haley, executive vice president of marketing for CKE Restaurants. "The car is a true classic and a piece of movie history, so we were very happy to be able to make Jonathon's day."
The sweepstakes ran from Nov. 17, 2010 to Jan. 11, 2011 at Carl's Jr. and Hardee's restaurants across the United States, and on the brands' Facebook pages (www.facebook.com/carlsjr or www.facebook.com/hardees). Guests purchasing a limited-edition 42-ounce "The Green Hornet" collectors' cup co-sponsored by Dr Pepper® received a unique code to enter the promotion or a complimentary code could be found online. In addition to the sweepstakes, an instant-win game was also included on the collectors' cups and featured a variety of other prizes including Southwest Airlines Vacations packages, limited-edition "The Green Hornet" PSP®go Systems, a Sony home-theater system, Sony Electronics, movie tickets to see "The Green Hornet," and Carl's Jr. and Hardee's gift certificates and food prizes.
The entire promotion was part of a marketing partnership between CKE and Sony Pictures around the Jan. 14, 2011 release of the 3D action movie, "The Green Hornet." In addition to the sweepstakes and instant-win game, the partnership included a commercial starring Seth Rogen and Jay Chou, themed food products, premiums, and a national tour of the Black Beauty car to select Carl's Jr. and Hardee's locations across the country.

About The Green Hornet
In The Green Hornet, Britt Reid (Seth Rogen) is the son of LA's most prominent and respected media magnate and perfectly happy to maintain a directionless existence on the party scene – until his father (Tom Wilkinson) mysteriously dies, leaving Britt his vast media empire. Striking an unlikely friendship with one of his father's more industrious and inventive employees, Kato (Jay Chou), they see their chance to do something meaningful for the first time in their lives: fight crime. To get close to the criminals, they come up with the perfect cover: they'll pose as criminals themselves. Protecting the law by breaking it, Britt becomes the vigilante The Green Hornet as he and Kato hit the streets. Using all his ingenuity and skill, Kato builds the ultimate in advanced retro weaponry, The Black Beauty, an indestructible car, equal parts firepower and horsepower. Rolling in a mobile fortress on wheels and striking the bad guys with Kato's clever gadgets, The Green Hornet and Kato quickly start making a name for themselves, and with the help of Britt's new secretary, Lenore Case, they begin hunting down the man who controls LA's gritty underworld: Benjamin Chudnofsky (Christoph Waltz). But Chudnofsky has plans of his own: to swat down The Green Hornet once and for all. The Green Hornet is directed by Michel Gondry, written by Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg, based upon "The Green Hornet" radio series created by George W. Trendle, and produced by Neal H. Moritz.

Travel Advances
Guidance concerning travel advances may be found in UPPS 05.06.04.
Travel advances may be requested by an employee when at least one student is traveling with the employee or when travel involves a foreign destination. Only employees may request a travel advance. Students, contractors, or prospective employees may not request a travel advance. The minimum advance amount is $200.00 for domestic travel and $500.00 for foreign travel.
Travel advances are issues no earlier than 14 days before the travel start date. The travel advance is requested on the TRAVELTracks Travel Request and must be submitted to the Travel Office at least ten (10) university business days before the travel start date. If an advance is needed and the Travel Request has already been processed, the traveler must contact the Travel Office to reset the Travel Request so it may be modified for the advance. Once the traveler has adjusted the Travel Request for the advance, they must resubmit for approval through the workflow.

Pop star Justin Bieber needed medical attention backstage at a gig in London after reportedly fainting during a concert on Thursday.
The singer's manager Scooter Braun took to the stage to tell worried fans Bieber was experiencing breathing problems, but he assured them he was going to be OK.
Braun said, "The whole show he has been complaining. He's backstage with the EMTs and the doctor. They're telling him that they want him to go and see someone and see what's going on with his lungs. He is telling me that in five minutes he's gonna come out and finish the show.
"He might not be jumping around as much… We're not trying to be disrespectful… we're truly trying to put on a show… Just bear with us… We're gonna do the best job to finish the show."
The manager's announcement was met with cheers and Bieber soon emerged to wrap the show.
A representative for the teen sensation confirms he was admitted to hospital for tests after the concert.
His latest health drama comes during a very trying seven days for the Baby hitmaker, who turned 19 last week. His London birthday party last Friday was marred by "overly aggressive dummies" and he faced the wrath of fans and their parents after taking to the stage at the O2 Arena in London late on Monday night.

Going forward, there is a simple solution to the problem of doping in cycling - for the riders to 1) refuse to dope and 2) to denounce those who continue to do so. You'd think that in short order Greg LeMond's clean-winner-of-the-Tour-de-France would emerge (Greg quite correctly points out to those who say you can't win the Tour "clean" that if everyone on the start line of the race is competing cleanly, without doping, then whoever crosses the finish line in Paris with the lowest accumulated time will become the Clean Winner of the Tour de France.)
Wishful thinking, I know, since there is potentially such an up-side to doping for the elite rider who gets away with it and earns millions as a result. It's tough to argue against that economic logic, though it's in no way a morally or ethically-justifiable approach. (Stay tuned to this site for a link to an upcoming interview where we discuss the economic incentive to dope in greater detail.)
Given that doping has been with the sport since its earliest days, and in light of how severely skewed the incentives:disincentives ratio to doping is, what's the answer?
I don't think that legalizing doping is the way forward (sorry Torri). Tacit acceptance of doping isn't going to work anymore, either - that cat's out of the bag and no one is going to be able to put it back in, no matter what we'd like. We just can't go back to pretending that doping isn't a problem. Likewise, the intimidation of still-active athletes who speak-out against doping (ex. Armstrong vs. Simeoni [2] or Armstrong vs. Bassons) has to stop, along with the vilification of those who, either voluntarily, or when confronted with evidence of their guilt, admit their transgressions and indict others, even after the fact. Is increasing the involvement of the State's criminal policing apparatus a potential solution? Aggressively arresting and putting dopers and people who really effed-up like me, people who both doped and helped others to dope, in jail as a deterrent? Then you get the response that government shouldn't be wasting money policing a bunch of careless athletes who want to risk their health to pedal a bike faster. Throw-out the UCI? But then what?
There isn't an easy answer to this. In fact, there isn't even consensus as to what a fiendishly-complicated answer might look like.
Ruminating on what Torri said, just for a second - if you legalize doping, you take away every last bit of hope that youngsters might otherwise have when considering whether or not to start cycling. If you know from the beginning that you have to risk your health in order to reach the highest level in your sport, or perhaps just to be an amateur you'd need to dope, what kind of incentive is that to begin cycling?
Unfortunately, the doping products work. EPO really, really works. I can't deny that, like Allen Lim so disingenuously did, implying that a clean athlete could achieve the same performance level as an equal-but-doped competitor. It's even true that, as a result of taking EPO, by the standard of measure I relied upon at the time, my life was great in 2005-6. But the fall-out has been equally spectacular and my life has been destroyed thanks to my involvement in doping. Perhaps the long-term non-health risks are less for someone who earns millions thanks to doping while racing, and can then fund the rest of their life - and their legal defense - when the inevitable catches up with them. But only a select few reap the massive financial benefits accessible as a result of doping, which wouldn't be so concentrated, perhaps, if the playing field were truly more level.
I would implore any athlete considering whether or not to dope to realize that, no matter how effectively they think they'll manage the risk, there are catastrophic possibilities that they can't account for, which will destroy the value of their ill-gotten gains swiftly, and totally.

Central Middle School Senators in Action Club will put their mission of community service to the test with a trip to New York City this weekend to help a family still recovering from Hurricane Sandy, which hit New York hard in late October.
It has been a month since Hurricane Sandy ravaged the states of New York and New Jersey, but there are still people struggling to recover from the super storm.
That was particularly evident to Central Middle School teacher Al Roach, a native of Brooklyn, when he traveled to New York City to survey the damage. There, he found a family who had lost just about everything it owned in 4 feet of water, yet was denied federal aid.
That gave Roach the idea to put the Senators In Action, a community service club at Central Middle School, to work, he said.
"I figured we'd try to help them out," said Roach, who serves as co-advisor of Senators in Action.
About seven students were being lined up to travel to New York on Saturday with Roach and reading teacher Joan Engel, the co-advisor for Senators in Action.
One of them is eighth grader Anthony "A.J." Salazar.
"Senators in Action is all about helping people and giving back to the community," Salazar said. "This just ties in because New York was devastated by the hurricane. We're going over there to help them out and help clean up. We're going to give them care packages with different things."
Those care packages include toiletries, other household goods, book bags, T-shirts and even a pair of sneakers donated by a Central student, Roach said.
As eighth grader Jaquan Dickson put it, the club was going to essentially "adopt a family."
Central Middle School Associate Principal David Thomas said the Senators in Action Club's trip to New York was a good example of the club's mission of service.
"This group under Mr. Roach and Ms. Engel has done a great job of arranging different service-based community projects," he said.
As of Thursday afternoon, Roach and Engel were still putting together a final list of club members going to New York.
"We are a humanitarian club and our goal is to help anyone in need," Engel said.
"Certainly, the people in New York qualify as people in need."

Funeral Memorial Card Collectors
Her question posed to me, one that I have also pondered, "Is there some sort of Funeral-Memorial Card Collector's club?" Since, I am a novice — my response to her was rather lame. My experience, thus far, has been to purchase funeral cards through Ebay. Many of the sellers are antique dealers. The anonymity of Ebay buyer of cards makes for a difficult trail to follow. Currently, I am unaware of an official association of card collectors.
If you, as a reader to this post, are a funeral card collector with an interest to collaborate with the genealogy driven, please let me know. Most often, genealogists are pleased with a quality image of a funeral card of their family member. Plus, collectors, you are holding a document that is precious to a family historian. It would be great to learn of a clearinghouse where collectors and genealogists could converge.
Oh, by the way, if you know Mark and Beth Waller — tell them Mary Ellen is hoping to make contact with them.

I find these cards now and then and have had mixed success in researching the genealogy behind them. Many of them have only the date of death, and some of the cards for women are shown as Mrs. so and so. I think I'd have better luck searching someone if the only piece of info I had was their date of birth, folks in the 1800s anyway. Glad that it worked out for your friend.

Hi Dee.....I haven't given a good effort to collecting unrelated funeral cards, but are you saying that a clearinghouse of sorts would be a place to share ones belonging to our family, and thus connect to extended family? I think that is a terrific idea!! Please let me know if you decide to form this group of collectors.
- July 14, 2011 at 1:48 PM
- Dee said...
It would be helpful to have a message board or some type of forum where individuals that have funeral/memorial cards could share the images with family historians. I need to figure out the best method to use online. Any suggestions?
- July 14, 2011 at 2:03 PM

We've been talking about using a wiki for collaboration projects. This sounds like it would be a good project for a wiki.
- July 14, 2011 at 9:56 PM

I would like to learn more about your suggestion of using wiki. I have several cards that I would like to match to family historians. May I participate with your group?

Several years ago, I launched a funeral card collection project through my genealogical society, the St. Clair County Genealogical Society. Our focus is on cards from St. Clair County, IL, but I have also started collecting other IL and KY cards (mostly via internet images) in the course of my personal genealogy research. For both purposes, I'd love to see some sort of clearinghouse for these. Here's the link to the SCCGS project: http://www.stclair-ilgs.org/deathcard.htm

Hi dee
I found this Site today when searching for some Used books and noticed they had a site set up for funeral/memorial cards. Not sure if this is what you were thinking but thought I would pass it along for you to see. http://www.ukgenealogy.co.uk/in-memoriam.htm
- July 15, 2011 at 10:00 AM
- Dee said...
Wow! The SCCGS collection is substantial. With today's web technology, there has to be a better way to organize this specific branch of genealogy. For now, I am going to link you to the FC&G blog. Thank you for responding.
- July 15, 2011 at 12:46 PM
- Dee said...
Tracie ~ In Memoriam Cards-UK is a good site. I particularly like the way they incorporated the UK Ebay section for cards that are available to purchase presently. A well-designed clearinghouse should have an easy way for the public to upload their photos and provide a unified type of description. I am thinking Find-a-grave has a good system. Wish I were more tech savvy. Thank you for responding.

not a collector but as a genealogist, I like the idea of being able to perhaps connect with distant kin or their friends through funeral cards
- July 18, 2011 at 6:33 PM
- LDPlegge said...
I'm with Linda, I'm as happy to get a scanned image of the card as the actual card and wish more people would think to preserve and share these digitally. It's a great way to make family connections too. There are surprisingly few collections online: Allen County, IN: Knox County, KY; Clinton County, IL and Monroe Co, IL are the only collections of any size that I've come across besides my St. Clair County one. There are also a lot of cards in the Public Member Photos and Scanned Documents database on Ancestry.com. There's a nice setup there for leaving comments and/or asking questions of the posters.
- July 19, 2011 at 7:51 AM
I'm looking for ways, as a genealogist, to display this funeral cards. Any suggestions?
- August 11, 2011 at 10:34 AM
- Dee said...
Hello Anonymous ~ Please send your funeral card images to firstname.lastname@example.com. I will be happy to post to Funeral Cards & Genealogy. If you would like to share information, I can write it up for you. Thanks.

The Vancouver Canucks are on a one-game road trip. And it's close by. Not quite the Olympic travel schedule they had for two months, so I'm sure the Canucks will take it. Vancouver is in Edmonton to take on the draft lottery-leading Oilers tonight at Rexall Place. The Oilers, long out of the playoff race, are on a two-game winning streak and have beat two of the hottest teams in the league.
The Oilers are fresh off an impressive 5-1 home win against the San Jose Sharks and held on for a 3-2 win against Detroit on Friday. Both victories were the first two for rookie Devan Dubnyk, who has struggled all season but finally picked up his first career win.
The Oilers, despite the last two wins, are dealing a whole rash of injuries to key players. Khabibulin, Hemsky, Stone, Souray, Smid, Jacques, Jones and Peckham are all out for tonight's game.
The danger for the Canucks is to look past the Oilers as they face the Anaheim Ducks tomorrow night in Vancouver. The Canucks have a terrible history of pandering to lesser opponents, when they know they have a stronger foe on the horizon. The Canucks need to finish off the season series strong, as they need the points to keep pace in the Western Conference.
Tonight's game is the final meeting between the Canucks and the Oilers this season and so far the Canucks have dominated. Vancouver is 4-1 against Edmonton this year, outscoring them 17-8 thus far.
Statistically, the Canucks lead basically every category against the Oilers, so it's hard to use stats to compare the two teams. So let's look at some stats that the Canucks need to improve going into the playoffs.
Two stats that the Canucks on which they need to focus deal with their defensive game. These are arguably their two worst defensive stats, and have been a problem in the last 3 weeks, so they need to improve them quickly.
The first is 1st Period Goals Against, where the Canucks sit 29th with 75 goals against in the starting frame. In the past three weeks, the rough starts for the Canucks have taken them out of games, or have forced them to come back far too many times.
The other key stat is Road Power Play Goals Against, in other words, shorthanded goals against on the road. Currently the Canucks rank 25th with 32 road shorthanded goals. Granted the Canucks have played a few more away games than the rest of the league, but they are still giving up too many shorthanded goals. In order to be a tight playoff team, the Canucks need to ratchet up their road penalty kill (23rd – 78.1%).
The Canucks should use tonight's game as a yard stick on how they can improve these two stats. Can they keep the puck out of the net in the first period? Can they stop the puck on the penalty kill? If they can take care of these two areas, the rest of their game will take care of itself.
Tonight, the fellas from Canucks Army will be enjoying the game at the Vancouver Canucks Official Tweetup, at the Library Square Pub at 5:45pm. Come out, enjoy the game and talk some hockey with some dedicated fans!

McLaren, Papa, Kapana headed down under
Newport Harbor High alumna Maddy McLaren, Corona del Mar senior Cassidy Papa and Newport Harbor sophomore Carlee Kapana have been selected for the U.S. women's youth national water polo team for an upcoming tournament in Australia.
McLaren, Papa and Kapana will represent Team USA at the FINA Youth (18-and-under) World Championships, scheduled for Dec. 1-9 in Perth, Australia. They are part of the 13-player roster that was announced Monday by USA Water Polo.
McLaren, a defender who is now a freshman at UCLA, was the Newport-Mesa Dream Team Player of the Year last year for the Sailors. She scored 72 goals and helped Newport Harbor win its fifth CIF Southern Section Division 1 title, coming back to defeat CdM, 8-7, in the championship match.
Papa, an attacker, is also a two-time Dream Team selection. She shared the CdM team lead with 81 goals last year.
McLaren and Papa have gone to Hungary the past two summers, to train with the U.S. youth national team.
Kapana, a goalkeeper at Harbor, has previously been on the cadet national team the last two years. She helped the team win silver at the Youth Pan American Championships in Puerto Rico in August, 2011.
Nine of the 13 players on the roster for Australia are from Orange County. They also include Mackenzie Barr of Mater Dei, Makenzie Fischer of Laguna Beach, Emily Loughlin of Santa Margarita, Cana Manzella of Foothill, Edison graduate Alys Williams (now at UCLA) and Golden West College freshman Melissa Bergesen.
The U.S. team is coached by Golden West women's coach Kyle Kopp.

Christian commits to UC Santa Barbara
Newport Harbor High senior Carly Christian has committed to play women's water polo at UC Santa Barbara, she said Tuesday night.
Christian said she was also considering Hawaii and USC, but that she felt comfortable going to UCSB. Her older brother, Myles, is a senior goalie for the Gauchos men's team.
"That's not a reason why I'm going there ... but we do have a lot in common," Carly Christian said. "I plan to play all four years, just like him. It's just a great area, and I can't wait to live there. It's where I feel my best at."
Christian was a first-team All-Sunset League and first-team All-CIF Division 1 honoree last winter, after helping the Sailors win the league title and their fifth Division 1 title.
The speedy Christian, a Newport-Mesa Dream Team selection, had 56 goals, a team-high 32 assists and 44 steals.
She plans to sign her national letter of intent on Nov. 14.

'Larger Than Life' Civil Rights Icon Honored With Statue In Capitol
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Had it not been for Rosa Parks and others of her era, President Barack Obama said he wouldn't be unveiling a bronze statue of the civil rights icon in the U.S. Capitol.
"We can do no greater honor … than to carry forward her principle of courage born of conviction," Obama said at a ceremony on Wednesday.
Fifty-eight years after she refused to give up her seat to a white man on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama, Parks became the first African-American woman to be honored with a full length statue in National Statuary Hall.
The statue shows Parks sitting with her hands folded neatly in her lap, reminiscent of the day of her arrest.
Her action echoed Martin Luther King Jr's notion that civil disobedience could be effective in challenging segregation.
"The tired feet of those who walked the dusty roads of Montgomery helped a nation see that to which it had once been blind. It is because of these men and women that I stand here today," Obama said. "It is because of them that our children grow up in a land more free and more fair. A land truer to its founding creed, and that is why this statue belongs in this hall."
Obama was joined at the unveiling by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker John Boehner and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
Despite rising acrimony between Obama and congressional Republicans over the forced government spending cuts set to go into effect on Friday, Obama kept his remarks focused on Parks' legacy. He praised her courage and the lasting effects of her actions.
Congressional leaders did the same.
The National Statuary Hall Collection consists of two sculptures gifted from each of the 50 states. They honor distinguished people throughout U.S. history, including several presidents.
Parks' statue was authorized by a special act of Congress that was introduced two days after her death in 2005.
