The UAF Community and Technical College aviation maintenance technology program is one of the only FAA-certified, Part-147 school programs in the nation that can be completed in just 12 months. The program offers an associate's degree in aviation maintenance and certificates in airframe, powerplant, or airframe and powerplant.
About the Program
The aviation maintenance program is a recent recipient of the Federal Aviation Administration's Diamond Certificate of Excellence award, the agency's most prestigious award given in recognition of top aviation maintenance technicians and their employers. The program is designed to prepare students for the FAA's airframe and powerplant exam. Passing the exam allows students to find jobs in aircraft maintenance, repair, overhaul, modification and other maintenance-related fields, as well as perform maintenance on personal aircraft.
After receiving a certificate, students may elect to complete the associate of applied science (AAS) degree in maintenance technology. This option is also open to students who have an FAA mechanics certificate, regardless of how or where it was obtained. Students are encouraged to pursue the degree or certificate program. However, students do have the option of enrolling in individual classes on a space-available basis.
Students who have completed an AAS degree may elect to continue their education by completing a bachelor of technology (BT) degree. Another option available to students is to continue their training in Calgary, Canada, at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT). Students completing six classes at SAIT can qualify to sit for the Canadian Aircraft Maintenance Engineer license.
The program is located in the newly renovated UAF/CTC Aviation Hangar on the east ramp of the Fairbanks International Airport With more than 25,000 square feet of shop, classroom, and office area, the space has been organized to give students every possible learning advantage. The shops are designed to make work efficient, and the entire facility is equipped in keeping with the latest industry needs and practices. Class size is limited, to ensure individual instruction and attention. Instructors are all experienced aviation professionals. Not only do they have excellent technical skills and knowledge, but they also know how to communicate their knowledge and skills to students.
Career Opportunities
Most aviation maintenance graduates choose to work in general aviation (small aircraft). Many have gone on to become lead mechanics, shop foremen, and directors of maintenance at various FAA Part 135 (Air Taxi) Operations. Local employers of UAF Community and Technical College graduates include Tanana Air Service, 40 Mile Air, LTD, Bering Air, Frontier Flying Service, North Slope Borough Search and Rescue, Everts Air Fuel, Northern Air Cargo, Larry's Flying Service, Wright's Air Service, Air Logistics, Tamarack Air LTD, Tundra Copters, and Warbelow's Air Service.
Special Admissions Requirements
Students must arrange for a program interview with an available faculty advisor from the program. Students who are admitted to UAF will be accepted into the AMT program following the interview on a priority basis. Only 25 students are accepted into each certificate class.
The Don Berry and the Fritz Ebert Scholarships are awarded to students demonstrating academic excellence, financial need, and commitment to the AMT program.
The Alaskan Aviation Safety Foundation will award a $500 aviation scholarship each spring. This scholarship was established in memory of Alaskan aviators by their families. The scholarship is available to students who have spent at least two of the last three years as an Alaska resident, and who have completed at least 30 percent of the work toward their professional goal or have a private pilot certificate.

What Drives the Revolving Door Between the Government and Wall Street?
Do government regulators go easy on Wall Street to secure themselves a high-paying job in the private sector?
That debate, which has been raging for years and intensified after the financial crisis, often takes place in anecdotal terms. Critics, including lawmakers, point to high-profile hirings of former regulators as evidence federal agencies are prone to "regulatory capture" — suggesting policymakers have an incentive to go soft on the companies in order to win higher-paying jobs down the line.
A new paper from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York seeks to inject more data into the discussion — and its findings suggest that the revolving door may be driven by an entirely different force. Instead of "regulatory capture," the paper provides evidence consistent with "regulatory schooling" – the idea that people take regulatory jobs to become experts on complex regulations before cashing in with a private sector job. Instead of having an incentive to go easy on banks, the "regulatory schooling" hypothesis suggests regulators have an incentive to make rules more complex.
Researchers at the bank built a new data set tracking the careers of more than 35,000 current and former regulators from the major state and federal agencies that oversee banks. (The data came from resumes on "a major professional networking website.") They analyzed the workers' movements over 25 years, marking when they entered or departed the public sector and comparing those patterns to economic data and records of enforcement actions against banks.
If regulators were biased towards leniency, the researchers say, the data ought to show high numbers of workers leaving the government during times with low levels of enforcement actions. But the paper found the strongest correlation for a mirror image of that trend: Workers tend to enter the government during periods of more rigorous enforcement actions, a finding that is more consistent with a "regulatory schooling" trend than the go-light approach that has been the source of concern.
"High gross inflows into regulation during times of regulatory intensity may reflect workers moving into [the] regulatory sector to get schooled in the new complexity," the researchers write.
So, rather than joining the government to go easy on banks, the paper suggests workers may be coming to Washington to gain a better understanding of how regulation works — and then using that knowledge to land higher-paying private sector jobs.
The paper also found regulators are having trouble retaining workers. About 64% of people that started working in regulation in 2008 stayed in those jobs for three years or more, the paper found. That compared to 88% for workers that began in 1988. And workers with higher education seem particularly inclined to leave, the paper said. (It also noted that "job flows" in and out of the regulatory sector were still smaller than in other parts of the labor market.)
The New York Fed paper doesn't take a position on what is driving workers to enter or leave the government. But some regulators pushed back on the idea that they favor complexity.
Speaking at a banking policy this week, Amrit Sekhon, director of capital policy at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, said "a lot of the complexity" in rules comes as a result of compromise among multiple regulators, or because banks pushing are for rules that are more sensitive to complexity in the financial system.
"As one that worked on these rules, the incentive to create complexity and embed it in them is not an appealing prospect," said Connie Horsley, a regulator and assistant director of the Federal Reserve Board's Division of Banking Supervision and Regulation.

I wasn't looking to get a second slate call, but after hearing this call demoed at a sports show I had to have it. I'm new to turkey hunting and I had bought a HS strut Li'l Deuce slate call with the carbon striker, after I got home with the call and practiced a bit I thought I was set to go. But this K&H was on special for 12.00 so I decided what the heck! Hope that between the 2 calls The birds like one of them. I had a fella send me a few strikers at no charge each one gives the calls a different sound, I had no idea it would make such a difference.
Any opinions good or bad on these 2 slate calls?

Deeplinks Blog posts about Mass Surveillance Technologies
EFF filed an amicus brief in an important case known as Du v. Cisco, where Chinese human rights activists have sued the US tech giant Cisco in Maryland federal court. The case alleges that Cisco knowingly customized, marketed, sold, and provided continued support and service for technologies used by the Chinese government to facilitate human rights abuses.
Obama Administration Releases Previously Secret Legal Opinion on NSA's Associational Tracking Program
Congress Does Not Hide Elephants in Mouse Holes
The Administration released a White Paper on Friday that summarized its claimed legal basis for the bulk collection of telephony metadata, also known as the Associational Tracking Program under section 215 of the Patriot Act, codified as 50 U.S.C. section 1861. While we'll certainly be saying more about this analysis in the future, the paper makes one central point clear:
There is no direct authorization for the Associational Tracking Program in Patriot Act section 215.
Questions for Comey: Former Top DOJ Attorney Who Oversaw NSA Spying Under Bush is Nominated to Become Next FBI Director
Current Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Robert Mueller's term is expiring (again), and the Senate Judiciary Committee will be holding a hearing to question the nominee to replace Mueller, James Comey.
As news websites around the globe are publishing story after story about dragnet surveillance, these news sites all have one thing in common: when you visit these websites, your personal information is broadcast to dozens of companies, many of which have the ability to track your surfing habits, and many of which are subject to government data requests.
How Does This Happen?
International Customers: It's Time to Call on US Internet Companies to Demand Accountability and Transparency
This is a joint international campaign between EFF and Access Now.
The Guardian and the Washington Post recently published slides that indicate that the US government's National Security Agency (NSA) is engaged in mass surveillance of users around the world through a program called PRISM. The NSA is extracting audio, video, photographs, emails, documents, and connection logs from nine leading Internet companies: Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, and Apple. Furthermore, the US is reportedly sharing this data with the UK government.

I would like for the main contributors to this particular portion of this forum to chime in as well to get their take on it, but here is mine...
Just the most recent ones, not Gabby and not Fast and Furious (both of which have had an impact on current gun control legislation).
1. Aurora, Colorado
2. Sandy Hook
3. Chris Kyle (An ignored and forgotten American Hero)
4. Chris Dorner (A Media Hero)
I have firm convictions all of these incidents were all staged, perhaps not all of those involved were a part of the "staged" act, but I have a feeling the government is behind this. I have a major distrust with the current regime and have no reason to think they are above these actions.

SD Tips: Find the Best Cameras Deals
Photography is not a cheap hobby, and whether you're searching for a new DSLR lens or just want a nice point-and-shoot camera, finding ways to save is a priority. We've got deals on everything from cameras and lenses to cases and other photography accessories right here in one spot. That way you you can spend your time searching for the next great shot, instead of searching for a better deal.
The key to buying a camera is figuring out what you want to do with it. Are you just looking for an upgrade from the camera on your phone? Do you need it to shoot great video? Are you looking to break into the world of DSLRs? Maybe you're already a photographer who's just looking to upgrade your kit.
Wherever you are in the world of photography, remember that there's no one camera that's going to be the best in all of the important categories. You still need to research how a camera performs, image quality, design and additional features, but remember not to get caught up in trying to find the camera with the most megapixels or best zoom.
Once you figure out what you want, check out Amazon and B&H Photo Video. Both offer lots of inventory and good prices. If you want to handle the camera before you buy, check out Best Buy or even WalMart, especially if you're not going super high-end with your selection. Since new models tend to come out at the end and beginning of the year, many retailers put older models on sale in March and April, so it's a good time to find a deal. You can also typically find good deals during Black Friday and the holiday shopping season.

While most judges are very willing to spend time with each contestant after the test discussing their "score card", would it be out of place for a contestant to request a copy?
While most judges are very willing to spend time with each contestant after the test discussing their "score card", would it be out of place for a contestant to request a copy?
With today's technology, it should not take more than 10 seconds for someone to take a picture with their smart phone of their judges scoresheet.
However, with that being said, I am not sure the current rules within the AKC allow for it. It only says that the judges may show the score sheet to the handler. I think it would all depend on how the conversation went with the handler of whether I would agree to "copy" the sheet, as I HOPE that they would be using it to try and learn from the experience of what they need to get better at.
BUT, as we all know, there are also others who would want a "copy" and then for some reason, that "copy" would end up on RTF on Monday morning, for the wonderful open forum discussion.
I agree, most judges would be afraid of malicious intent. I'm was simply unsure if this was too far out of the ordinary to even request. Can you request a copy form the club? Do clubs even keep these score cards on file for future reference or do they go in trash upon completion?
Judge under the buss!!!

You really gotta be careful about how high a pedestal you put your method, your accomplishments, your dog on. There's usually someone who's done more, somewhere. And they may have used a different method than you did! Chris Atkinson 2013
get your dog out and TRAIN! caryalsobrook 2013
The judges keep their own sheets . AKC requires we keep them 6 mo, UKC 12 mos. Depends on reason you want the sheet if I send or not. If you spoke to the judges on why you did not pass after the test was done and you understood, than I would not have a problem but if you left the grounds than wanted to see it later I would not send it.
I guess I just don't understand the whole secrecy part of it. To me, it seems to send the wrong message by choosing not to provide it. What's there to hide? If judges feel strongly enough to issue passes/failures/placements, should they not feel inclined to provide their reasoning for doing so? I'm trying to think of another sport that operates even remotely similar, but can't think of one. Why not post the score cards on-line along with the results for everyone to see? Again, what's there to hide????
Personally, I would enjoy having the ability to look back at results (I currently keep a detailed training log which includes training regiments, diagrams of tests, factors, wind direction, distances, etc). Unfortunately, as an amateur, my time at the line can sometimes be quite the blur.
I'm assuming this "unwritten policy" is based on judges desire to avoid criticism and "that's how we've always done it...."? Quite understandable but still not a good reason.
Last edited by phillip1119; 04-23-2013 at 06:15 PM. Reason: can't spell worth a darn.....
Maybe I can explain why the judges sheets are kept by the judge and not shared with the world. #1. Most of us use our own form of short hand so much of what is drawn or written is not decipherable to the average person. #2 The hunt test games are not supposed to set up one dog over another. Yes we use numbers to score each atribute and it is the average of the scores that designates the qualifying dogs. #3 It would be overwhelming for any club or organization to maintain all the scoresheets on line.... for how long?...and who would care?
It is policy for the judges to make the judges sheet for his dog available for the handler to look at for a short eriod after the ribbons are announced. Judges do not have to explain or justify their decisions, but most will discuss strengths and weaknesses with you if you politely ask.

When it stops being fun, I will find something else to do with my time and money.
The Lady
It's been my experience that some judges who have judged our hunt tests remove their judging sheets from the binder which the club has provided them. They take their sheets home with them. Others turn in the binder with all the sheets in it. Nobody looks at the sheets. The binders get put into the equipment trailer. A year later we go through the binders, throw away the old sheets, and put in fresh new blank sheets for the new judges. That was one of my jobs this year. Some binders were empty, some had old sheets from the previous year. My job was to make sure the binders were empty and then I loaded them with new judging sheets.

Introductory Note
A note of thanks to everyone who's certified me. Pretty cool that people would read this and think I know enough of what I'm talking about to act on it.
The Dell Support Saga
After several hours on the phone with Dell tech support today, they concluded simply that their hardware was incompatible with Windows 2000. Not that there aren't drivers, because there are, and I installed them. They simply don't work. At all. The only operating system my laptop will run is Windows XP. Period. Or probably a variant of Linux, but I'm not gonna go there (not enough hours in the day). Oh well. I'll strip XP back to its bare bones and maybe get used to it.
Must... Release... Alpha Version
I'm putting some pressure on myself to release an alpha version of Scoped. The primary reason right now, at least, is that I'm going to have to regenerate all the binary data files myself, as I didn't have any backups. It's not that I don't know how the binaries are laid out, it's just that I'll have to go through and unpack, run tools on, find, download, and otherwise process the dozens and dozens of files necessary for game function. Actually, I'm going to take the time now to implement proper error handling for each of the required files in the game - I'm going to start it up, and, file by file, add things, looking for crashes.
At any rate, I'd always set a goal for myself that I finish the object oriented conversion before releasing an alpha version. There's quite a few subsystems left to be converted over to OO:
- Command parsing and execution (moderate)
- Common utilities including filesystem stuff (easy)
- Console (easy-moderate)
- Cvar system (easy)
- Draw system (easy)
- Game system (really, really difficult)
- Host system (moderate)
- Key bindings (easy)
- Math (easy)
- Model loader (easy)
- Progs (moderate-difficult)
- Rendering framework (difficult)
- Statusbar (easy)
- System code (easy)
- Video framework (easy)

What say you?
Who wins?
(OK, we'll put the game in Tuscaloosa to give us a fighting chance since we don't win home games)
What say you?
in all honesty, I don't think we'd win... that alabama defense in particular, watching them on tv, they just look like they have a different athlete at virtually every position than any other school in CFB...
I think we wouldn't score much on them, and I don't think, at least from what I have seen from our defense this year, we could stop them from scoring....
that's really ****ing sad by the way
Pointless thread. Of course we win. College teams generally have a few star players and average guys who aremay be a cut above the rest in college (top teams) but the vast majority fail in the pro's. Wouldn't even be a contest IMO.
We aren't that bad.
Marshall against college DBs? I'd bet he would catch 30 passes
Heh, the Fins could possibly lose against the Sooners, at least their defense knows how to hit and tackle people.
jus' sayin
Yes, I do think we'd win too. The sad thing is though, by season's end when Saban's hoisting that crystal trophy again (after lying to our ex-owner and letting our team down, but that's another story) and we're sitting there at 2-14 or whatever we're destined for, it'll probably be a question that's asked by some people thinking there's some credibility to it.
Who moved this to the SPAM folder?
Why, because it's not a typical, God this team sucks, Sporano sucks, Ireland sucks, Henne sucks or some other aspect of the team sucks thread? Good God!

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett shares a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Conclusion: The Hilltop Hole
Unconvinced the decoy wouldn't just hang the birds up in the neighboring woods, I chose Option A and backed up about 30 yards down the hill, putting a small terrain rise between us. If the turkeys were hot enough, they'd go to the rise and look for the hen.
When I sat and called, the birds gobbled right at the wood line. Soon, their drumming told me they were headed left. Seconds later, I saw two white heads pop up over the rise, screened by brush. I had to ease my gun to the left, and one of the birds caught the movement. However, it was too late. I picked a spot in the woods and shot the trailing bird as he turned to leave.
It had been a great flash hunt. Would that tactic always work? Probably not. But on that day, Temptation Corner didn't get the better of me.
What decision did you make?

Beloit College eyes renovating old power station into rec center
Blackhawk Generating Station is located along Rock River
BELOIT, Wis. - Some riverfront real estate could reshape the Beloit College campus.
The college has its eye on a piece of history -- Wisconsin Power and Light's Blackhawk Generating Station along Highway 51.
Beloit College is exploring the possibility of renovating the power station to create a new recreation and activity center. Beloit College said it will need to raise $30 million in private donations to make the project a reality.
Those proposing the plan said it's a chance for the college and the city to redefine life along the river.
The Rock River is where Bill Moore remembers Beloit's vibrant industrial days.
"They've done a remarkable amount of work beautifying the river," said Moore, who has walked along the river since 1973. "I remember when they used to generate power there. There used to be a large coal dump on the end of the building there. Freight trains would drop off cars full of coal."
Those cars full of coal have long since moved away, as the Blackhawk Generating Station sits empty, just a stone's throw from Beloit College.
"We have always thought of ourselves as a river college, but we don't have a foothold on the river. This gives us an opportunity to have that," said Beloit College spokesman Jason Hughes.17017662
Hughes said Beloit College would get the money for the project from donors.
"Those are renovation dollars -- all donor dollars. So we need to go out and find that money. That's no small task, as you can imagine," Hughes said.
Students said the concept could rejuvenate life on campus as well as the community.
"Our union is nice the way it is now, but compared to some other schools, it's a little small," said Beloit College freshman Rory Klean. "It doesn't afford a lot of luxuries. It could be great for alumni and a new attraction for students to come here."
"To renovate the old power station would probably be a plus for the beautification of the river area," Moore said.

The future of the new Shopping Channel, launched with enormous fanfare this year, is in doubt.
Advertising heavyweight Greg Partington, the entrepreneur who bankrolled the channel, is refusing to guarantee the station's future. He plans to analyse Christmas sales figures, then make an announcement in two weeks.
Partington was responding to rampant speculation about the channel's future, after the Herald on Sunday revealed many of the celebrity hosts' contracts had not been renewed.
The entrepreneur voiced confidence in his multi-platform business, but cast doubt on the role TV would play in the operation next year. The Shopping Channel has a strong presence online as well as Sky's Channel 18.
"I think the business has a future," Partington said. "No question about it. It's about really getting the operating model right.
"The question mark is really over the television and its future role in the business," he said.
"What I think has gone well is the website, the store, and I've been delighted with how New Zealanders have taken to it."
Partington, who put his own cash into the start-up, said he needed time to analyse how the business performed over the busy Christmas shopping season.
An accurate measure would only be available next week. Partington said he planned to return to work on January 7 and issue a statement in mid-January.
The channel launched in a glitzy flurry of hype and publicity in October. It flew in Hollywood star Eva Longoria and recruited a line-up of glamorous local figures to front its broadcasts. But it soon cut back on its presentation staff, prompting questions in advertising and television circles about its future.
Among the TV stars not expecting to return next year are Monty Betham and Candy Lane. The Herald on Sunday has also been told that Sally Ridge, Anna Jobsz and food presenter Luca Villari have not had their contracts renewed.
League star Betham said this week he had enjoyed being part of the start-up, but he needed guarantees in his contract the Shopping Channel couldn't provide.
Betham said some friends had stayed on with the channel "in the hope of something that would be resolved".
"I'm not expecting to head back, only because our discussions were pretty vague in how they ended and the goalposts kept changing, but I do hope they go on with it."
Fellow ex-presenter Candy Lane said she had still not had any word on whether it would employ her again.
Partington said the channel was a private business, and how much money it made or lost was not a public matter.
He also said there were no local precedents for the channel's model and it took time to secure a solid client base.
"It takes time to build a business. Years, years. But what you can do is tear it down really quickly through negative publicity when it isn't justified."
Partington said he was not aware of any overtures made to foreign investors. "Before you go looking for investors you need to make sure your model's a strong model."

Family: Phalacrocoracidae, Cormorants view all from this family
Description ADULT has mainly dark plumage, but pale feather centers on back and upper wings create a scaly appearance. Acquires black head plumes in breeding season. Note orange gular pouch, base to lower mandible and skin in front of eye; color is most intense in breeding birds. JUVENILE Has gray-buff plumage, darkest on back and usually palest on breast and throat. Bill, bare skin around eye, and gular pouch are yellowish orange; note truncated rear margin. Acquires darker adult plumage over 3-year period.
Dimensions Length: 30-35 (76-89 cm)
Habitat Locally common on coasts, freshwater marshes and lakes. Present year-round on coast, but a summer visitor to many interior freshwater habitats.
Observation Tips Easy to find in a range of wetland habitats.
Range Alaska, Texas, Eastern Canada, Mid-Atlantic, Southwest, Southeast, California, Florida, Plains, New England, Rocky Mountains, Western Canada, Great Lakes, Northwest
Voice Mostly silent.
Discussion Robust waterbird with relatively long neck and hook-tipped bill. Compared to larger Great Cormorant, neck and bill are more slender and breeding birds (in our region) lack white in plumage (western birds have white crests). Swims low in water, diving frequently for fish. Flies with head and neck outstretched; often perches with wings outstretched. North America's most widespread cormorant and the one most likely encountered near fresh water. Sexes are similar.

Belated post but here goes. The labs ROCKED AKC Nationals in Tulsa March 2013. There were several in the finals including Lab "Henry" who won the 20 inch Preferred Division http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SyoVm-mSoA
Nine years ago my husband and I purchased a little black female with FT lines. We have had an incredible journey. We have trained nearly 100% time alone and at times the journey was tough. Breeze ran her retirement run at AKC Nationals in Tulsa. What an honor to step to the line with this incredible dog. Thank you David Peters for our special girl.
Now for the shameless brag (grin). Breeze daughter "Lexie" ran the fastest time in 24 inches and placed 2nd (0.01 second behind border collie) in hybrid round at Nationals. This was a TOUGH class of very talented and fast border collies. I can only imagine her dad "Dusty" was smiling down at her Thanks Dan, Missy and Fred for these incredible puppies.
Thanks Field friends for listening....back to regular programming

By Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – Richard "Dickie" Scruggs asked the federal court for release from prison while the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals considers his second conviction.
Attorneys for Scruggs, 66, wrote that the former Oxford litigator is due for release from his first sentence on Nov. 6, and that granting bail before more prison time is tacked on for the second conviction poses no risk and avoids "a complete miscarriage of justice."
Scruggs is completing his five-year sentence for a 2007 guilty plea to a scheme to bribe Circuit Judge Henry Lackey of Calhoun City.
The remainder of the second sentence – about two years – comes from a 2009 guilty plea to improperly influencing Circuit Judge Bobby DeLaughter of Hinds County, who presided over a legal-fees lawsuit against Scruggs.
His attorneys said he hasn't begun serving the remainder of that sentence, for which they insist he is innocent.
"Thus, pragmatically," they write, "the question is not whether to continue punishing (Scruggs) for this crime, it is whether to start."
If he were allowed bail, they said he also could get medical attention, at his own expense, for a condition causing his right hand to contract and for a malignant cancer lesion on his forehead, both reportedly worsened without treatment because his Montgomery, Ala., prison camp is without a doctor.
In the DeLaughter case, Scruggs insisted his support of the judge's ambitions for a federal judgeship were not bribery but protected political speech.
If his claims ultimately are denied by the 5th Circuit and U.S. Supreme Court, the motion stated, "he can always return to prison."
"If he is denied bail," but has his conviction overturned, it read, "those days of wrongful imprisonment can never be given back."

The Law Student Division of The Florida Bar Young Lawyers Division is inviting attorneys and law students from throughout the state to take part in Raising the Bar February. 16.
Each year, law schools throughout the state participate in the initiative by organizing one-day local public service projects.
"I think the great thing about The Florida Bar is that it provides opportunities for attorneys to give back," said Allie Menegakis, president of the Law Student Division. "I think there's a duty as lawyers to educate and be involved in the community, to be someone trusted in the community. The best way to do that is through community service."
This year's events include a cornhole tournament to benefit Compassionate Families in Jacksonville, a supply drive for Ronald McDonald House in Coral Gables, and a birthday party for the Big Bend Homeless Coalition in Tallahassee.
Bar President-elect Eugene Pettis plans to volunteer for a Law and Youth Conference, which aims to teach underprivileged children about the law, in Gainesville.
The conference is set for February 23, while all other projects are scheduled for February. 16.
Anyone interested in participating in Raise the Bar may email the following points of contact:
Ave Maria University in Naples, Pace Center Book Drive, Lizzy Waterhouse, email@example.com.
Barry University in Orlando, Community Food and Outreach Center, Daniel Berger, firstname.lastname@example.com.

University of Miami in Miami, Vizcaya Clean Up, Eric Kegley, email@example.com.
Ashley Sybesma, Law Student Division co-chair and member of the YLD Board of Governors, said she hopes attorneys and lawyers will take advantage of the opportunities to serve.
"Talk to any lawyer and most will tell you that they are quite busy and have a hard enough time balancing work and their home life, let alone find time to do volunteer work," she said. "Then talk to anyone who regularly volunteers in their community and they will tell you that the extra time and effort spent doing such activities is worth it and makes Raising the Bar a great and convenient way for lawyers to get involved when they normally might not seek out such an opportunity for themselves."

Thanks everyone! I didn't stuff her in a stocking or wrap her in a box. What I did to surprise Dave was to throw him off with a clue....I said my gift would make him look good. Then I wrapped a black lab ornament and put in under the tree. I had to give him the gift on Friday before Christmas because we needed to go pick her up on Saturday morning. Little did I know that his parents had given him a miniature of what he wanted the year he had asked for a snowmobile. So he got really mad at me when he opened the present and saw the lab ornament with the name "Token" on it. I had to convince him that it represented a REAL dog and that we needed to go get her the next day.
Bubba...Spot Bot heck..I have a full sized carpet steamer! So far she's been pretty good.
David M. ....Token does seem a bit out of place, Dave loves his blondes, but if you'll remember we had Lotto for years...Token is just taking his place.

A handful of Shakespeare's comedies are mounted again and again and again. There's good reason for that — Twelfth Night and Midsummer aren't too shabby, after all — but it's fun now and then to brush off one from the vault. One of his earliest and lightest-of-the-light works, Love's Labour's Lost, is this year's Shakespearean offering of the Fenix Theatre Company (in repertory with Waiting for Godot) in its run of free theater in Deering Oaks Park.
>> READ: "Fenix Theatre's poignant, funny Waiting for Godot " by Megan Grumbling <<
The premise concerns hearts against minds: King Ferdinand (Paul Drinan) has decreed that he and his three noble buddies, Berowne (Michael Dix Thomas), Longaville (Michael Toth), and Dumain (Dave Registrar), are going to commit themselves exclusively to study for three years, with no women allowed anywhere near them. Berowne ventures to remind him that the princess (Abbie Killeen) and her own three attendants Rosaline (Molly Bryant Roberts), Maria (Karen Ball), and Katharine (Jesse Leighton, a man and dressed as such, a nice bit of diversity casting once the romances start up) are about to visit his kingdom, and that it would be politically gauche to turn them away. But the King insists that his court will receive them once and then send them off. Any guesses what might happen when they actually meet? Add to that inevitability an overblown Spaniard (Ian Carlsen, with a brazenly dubious accent) in love with a country wench (Elizabeth Lardie), and you've got the romantic labor of the title.
In part because director Sally Wood has chosen to clothe the men in shirts and ties (except for the sultry Spaniard) and the women in modern floral dresses, the resulting foibles feel refreshingly like a breezy sitcom about dumb guy behavior redeemed. (And the men's initial boys-only clubhouse mentality is cleverly furthered by "proclamations" pinned to trees: "No Women!") Most entertaining about Labour's is the gender rapport; the ladies are arch and effusive, and the guys' jocular banter and camaraderie rings absolutely true to males in a group. Everybody is particularly good at being smitten: "Are we not in love?" the King booms expansively, and everyone frolics, clutching letters, balancing and tilting off rocks, and plucking up the park's greenery.
The show is staged, once again, in and around the park's reflecting pool, and again the opposite slope and stairs are used to fun effect, as the lovelorn and the otherwise aroused bound up and down the hill, or as the King does a sweet rail ride down the stairs. A roving clarinetist provides trenchant musical commentary at intervals. As is traditional with Fenix shows — and admirable, to my mind — production elements are stripped down: No lights, no mikes. The actors work hard to have their voices carry far, and they handle it well, though inevitably, volume starts to fall away after a certain distance, so be sure to get there early to stake your blanket's claim.

Peter Sutherland: Forests and Fires
Forests and Fires is Michigan-born, New York-based artist Peter Sutherland's first solo museum exhibition, featuring new site-specific work for CAM. Sutherland uses a variety of landscape imagery, from mountain ranges to deciduous forests, to evoke incongruous sensations of awe, danger, and the sublime. Incorporating techniques and materials intrinsic to both photography and painting, his work expands the potential of both media. The artist's process involves digitally printing photographs onto perforated vinyl, attaching the images onto sterling board, and sealing them with acrylic gel medium. By allowing the particle board's pattern and commercial branding to emerge through the vinyl, Sutherland's "paintings" appear pixelated, with a hazy atmospheric quality.

text: [font=Times New Roman] Now the recent interview (Steve part 3) has me worried about the Obi-Wan ROTS FX, because he spoke about has he did not like changing the neck of a saber to fit electronics, now first of all Ive been making EL and Lexon LED sabers with skinny necks for quite some time, but IDK MR uses the 64 LED design so who knows. So anyway that was the reason he stated why MR would not do an Obi-Wan ANH FX, because the neck is too skinny. Question arent the necks on both hilts the same, so what would be the difference, am I the only one thinking the Obi-Wan ROTS could be canceled? Or was the interview before the Obi-Wan ROTS was announced to retailers, if so could it be that MR has found a way to keep the necks as skinny as they want too, hence the Obi-Wan ROTS, and maybe ANH saber? If Steve or Amy could comment on the issue that would be great [/font]

Smart started as an idea for a city car from a Mercedes engineer in the 1970s and grew into "smart" (Swatch Mercedes ART) with the design acumen of France's Swatch watchmaker. The first Smart small car was built in the early 1990s. Daimler Group's Mercedes-Benz jointly redesigned the 2016 Fortwo with French partner Renault. Still built in Smartville, France, the third-generation 2016 2-seat coupe is still just 8 feet long, but 4 inches wider than the prior model. It rides on an improved platform with a revised powertrain and comes with more safety features.

I know of at least one. Given the sheer number of creationists running around, there are most likely going to be a few here. Now, if they would expose themselves, things might be more interesting.

Your use of color is FANTASTIC. So much fun! The wallpaper outside the door and rug are pretty much the coolest thing ever. So happy to see you blogging and happy to hear you are having fun raising your little one. I often feel like I virtually live in your, Meg and Erika's world--and it's all so brilliantly styled! Glad you are well. Devon :)

came over from Holly's blog. i absolutely love this room, what creativity and i feel like not enough good things can be said about how you picked your textiles, etc. so nice to meet you. Also - where in the world did you find this rug? i love it love it love it and totally get the first class ticket's worth of shipping on it :)

Hopping over after a mention on Bryn Alexandra's blog. I like how the room works for baby, but is sophisticated at the same time. Nurseries designed with all baby store products drive me nuts! The dhurrie is gorgeous (worth all your efforts) and the rocking chair is ... sweet (and I don't mean "nice," I mean "awesome")!
- July 8, 2012 at 11:09 AM

Thanks for all the sweet comments!
The drapery fabric is Robert Allen's Aimee stripe in Greystone and the rug was commissioned from a dhurrie maker outside Jodhpur, India. I picked the colors and pattern from what he had available and he made the rug to a size I requested. The yarn was supposed to be more salmon (orange) and less Turkish red (pink), but in the end it works perfectly in the space!

Is anyone else collecting these?
I ordered the ESB Vader and Fett last week.
They are really nice, I like the fact that they added multiple arms for different poses. I do have to admit these are a bit smaller than I expected, having bought so many of the 1/6th scale figures these are MUCH smaller. Quality and detail has never disappointed me and these are no exception.
In fact, I rather prefer some of the newer features Kotobukiya has integrated into the new line. Things like magnetic bases and feet, pegs and peg holes, multiple arms for different poses, articulated Boba Fett head, etc. The base for Vader easily fits Boba Fett as well so I have both figures on the Vader base.
So, now my 1/10 scale collection has begun, which means I have several more to buy:
Darth Vader ROTJ
Boba Fett ROTJ
Stormtrooper 2 pack
Royal Guard 2 pack
Sandtrooper (Orange Pauldron) 2 pack
Sandtrooper (White Pauldron)
C-3PO and R2-D2
I will keep my eyes open for more of these but I hope to see:
Sandtrooper (Black Pauldron)
Scout Trooper
TIE Pilot
AT-AT Driver
Bounty Hunters
Death Star Gunner
Death Star Trooper
Stormtrooper 2 pack additional poses
I'd also like to see them make a few environment bases!

May 17, 2005
Chairman Charles E. Grassley
Ranking Member Max Baucus
Senate Finance Committee
219 Dirksen Senate Office Building
Washington, District of Columbia
Dear Senators Grassley and Baucus,
As president of the National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA), I am writing to share with you our serious concern regarding a tax revenue offset proposal in Substitute Amendment 605 to the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act of 2005 (SAFETEA).
My understanding is that one of the SAFETEA revenue offset proposals would require a significant change to IRS' offer-in-compromise (OIC) program. More specifically, the proposal would require a taxpayer to remit either a 20% down payment with any lump sum offer or to make regular payments of proposed OIC installment payments. Should IRS reject any offer, the agency would retain any monies that a taxpayer submits with his/her offer. While the proposal would repeal the $150 OIC user fee, reduce IRS' time to accept an offer from 24 to 12 months (starting in 2010), and create a task force to review the entire offer program, these benefits—such as they are—are far outweighed by the so-called 'good faith' provisions of the proposal.
While enrolled agents have many concerns with the OIC program in general, I will limit my few detailed comments to the proposal at hand. The entire NAEA board of directors and I discussed this proposal at our board meeting earlier this month and we unanimously arrived at the same conclusion—the proposal is a very bad idea and very bad tax policy.
What is further discouraging is that we have long expressed our shared interest in improving offers. We believe, however, that using the OIC program as a revenue raiser is among the least taxpayer friendly ways to get there and will, in fact, adversely affect an already onerous process for compromising tax liabilities.
Please understand that there is no group of people more interested in taxpayers paying their fair shares. As a result, members do not like the idea of people abusing the OIC program by using it as a 'get out of taxes free' card. At the same time, we understand that life is sometimes very messy and that people who make mistakes must to have a way to get themselves back on track.
I am informed that SAFETEA is scheduled to be debated on the Senate floor as early as today. Ideally, NAEA would like to see this taxpayer-hostile OIC provision removed on the floor. I understand that a more realistic approach would be to have the OIC provision removed in conference. NAEA stands ready to assist you in coming up with more pro-taxpayer solutions to the OIC program.
Francis X. Degen, EA, USTCP

New Series – Celtic & Nordic Mystique
Looking to add some intricate attitude to your wardrobe this spring?
Look no further than the elegance of knotwork. Feminine or masculine, these designs suit any taste or occasion. They've been designed to perfectly complement all kinds of shapes, from the back of a jacket to the sleeve of a shirt, or to swoop elegantly on pillows and home decor. Subtle shading and graceful interweaving satins make these gorgeous on anything.
Today we're introducing three new collections, Celtic Majesty, Nordic Majesty and the Elder Futhark runic alphabet.
Want a peek at the new collection?
'Tis the season when everyone's Irish, but around here Celtic knotwork rules all year 'round. The myths and culture of Ireland have inspired this new beautifully coordinating Celtic Majesty collection, from a classic Celtic cross to fierce ravens and hounds fit for a warrior. Embellish garments, bags, and more with this epic new embroidery! The Celtic pack includes six beautiful designs.
Want something with a little more old world power? Have a peek at our new Elder Futhark Runes. This 24 character alphabet has been a customer request for a long time, and it seemed the perfect occasion to finally dive in!
The earliest form of runic alphabets that evolved in Scandinavia and Northern Europe, the Elder Futhark was used from the 2nd to the 9th centuries and then forgotten. There is some evidence that they were considered to have magical significance as well. Stitch this alphabet up in three different sizes and add an old world touch to your embroidery.
Finally, knotwork isn't always about the Celts. Got some viking blood in you? Many around our Minnesota parts do. If you're seeking to stitch something of a more Scandinavian persuasion, then the Nordic Majesty collection is for you. The Vikings had their own unique style of knotwork decoration, and it's inspired this legendary collection of embroidery.
Designs such as Thor's Hammer and Odin's companion wolves and ravens will make an epic statement on clothing, bags, and more. The Nordic pack includes six beautiful designs, all featuring gorgeous swirling knotwork and elegant and subtle shading. Stitch your roots and wear them proud.
This is just a taste of the new Celtic & Nordic Mystique collections. Better yet, for a limited time, you can grab them at a discount! All the designs and packs on are on sale through Sunday, March 18 at 11:59 p.m. Central time. Click here to see the full collection and grab them before the sale becomes a thing of the legendary past.
By the way… that tunic up top? Want to learn how to make it, no sewing skills required? Of course you do. Click here for a tutorial!

Deeplinks Blog posts about Mandatory Data Retention
This Thursday, the Paraguayan Chamber of Deputies will vote on a data retention mandate—one of the worst freedom-killing bills we've seen so far in Paraguay. The bill, dubbed Pyrawebs, is a big deal: data retention mandates are a disproportionate measure that should be sorely rejected. It is now that time to mobilize your networks.
Here's how you can participate:
Today, the Paraguayan House of Representatives postponed for eight days the discussion of a mandatory data retention proposal. The bill, if passed, will require Paraguayan telecom providers to store highly personal information about their customers Internet use, for one year, for possible future access by law enforcement agencies.
Em 24 de abril de 2014, a presidenta do Brasil, Dilma Rousseff, assinou o Marco Civil da Internet, um quadro de regulamentação da Internet baseado em direitos civis, pelo qual ativistas do Brasil há muito tempo vinham lutando. Apelidado de "Constituição da Internet", a lei visa reforçar a proteção das liberdades fundamentais na era digital. Apesar de ter sido desenvolvida através de um processo participativo, a lei não deixou de cair na tradicional negociata do processo legislativo, o que resultou em diversas concessões. Uma das mais prejudiciais, e ferozmente combatida por ativistas de direitos digitais, foi um mandato de retenção de dados que obriga a coleta e armazenamento de logs de conexões de qualquer indivíduo inocente.
On April 24, 2014, Brazil's President, Dilma Rousseff, signed Marco Civil Da Internet, a civil-rights based framework for the Internet which Brazilian activists have long fought. Dubbed the "Internet Constitution," the law seeks to reinforce the protection of fundamental freedoms in the digital age. The law was developed through a participatory process, but not without getting caught in the traditional horse-trading of the legislative process, which resulted in several concessions. One of the most damaging concessions, fiercely opposed by digital rights activists, was a data retention mandate that compels the collection and storage of connections logs of any innocent individual.

We know that for our vacation rental clients, summer is chaos. Amid monitoring check-ins, maintaining great customer service for guests, and taking your own vacations, tackling social media is the last thing on your mind. However, you've probably heard from your Online Marketing Consultant how important it is to keep up that social presence.
We've compiled some of the best insider secrets from the SEO team at Visual Data Systems. Check out our suggestions to keep your fans happy and your time dedicated to your guests!
1. Link your Facebook and your Twitter. The most helpful way to minimize your posting time is to kill two birds with one stone. By linking your Facebook and Twitter together, everything you post on Facebook becomes a tweet. This means you'll be equally active on Facebook and Twitter with one push of a button. To do this, simply go to www.facebook.com/twitter. This article provides great step-by-step instructions!
2. Find quality content with the "Use Facebook As" option. Creating a unique post to use on Facebook every day can be exhausting. Another option to post quality content is to share things others have posted. To compile a place to find these resources, try the "Use Facebook As" option. When you are logged in under any profile that has Admin access to your company Facebook page, find the drop down on the top navigation of the Facebook bar, and choose to use Facebook as the company page:
Once you have used Facebook as your company, search for and "like" local business pages that share frequent and relevant information. The next time you go to your home page, your newsfeed will be filled with these status updates that you can then share straight to the business page timeline. Tada!
3. Learn how to schedule your Facebook posts. Sometimes, creativity hits and you have to take advantage of the moment. One way to do this is to schedule your Facebook posts so that it automatically takes care of the work of posting for you.
To do this, go to your page as if you were making a normal post. As soon as you have clicked within the status box to begin typing, 3 icons will appear beneath the status box: a clock, a pin, and a camera. Choose the clock to begin the scheduling process.
Once the clock has been chosen, you will see fields to choose both a time and date for your post to run. Once you have created the post, hit the "Schedule" button to have it saved until its designated time. Posts can be scheduled months in advance, so using this tool is a great way to take care of the week's posts in one fell swoop. Bonus, if you've linked your Facebook and Twitter already, you've just scheduled tweets as well!
All scheduled posts will be saved in a page's Activity Log. You can get to yours by adding /allactivity to the end of your Facebook URL. For example: www.facebook.com/VDSYS/allactivity.
4. If these tips still aren't saving you enough time, check out a social media management software. Hootsuite is a favorite of Visual Data Systems, as it allows you to post to multiple social media accounts at once, schedule posts, and also provides insights and analytics on how the posts performed. They offer free solutions as well as paid versions to suit the needs of every company.
We hope these tips have helped to lighten the load of social media. Feel free to contact Visual Data Systems with any questions about this article, or any of the services we provide.
Good luck and happy posting!

The magic of Spoleto, in addition to the world class performances, lectures, and exhibits, is how multicultural it is. Cedar Lake's Saturday night Spoleto Party was a perfect example as dancers from all over the world converged on the College of Charleston's President's House. Mixed in with the patrons it was easy to spot the company members, a happy group of exquisitely fit internationals. One performer shared how lucky he felt to have joined the company directly out of high school, seven years ago. The beauty of Cedar Lake is that Walmart heiress and founder, Nancy Walton Laurie, has been insistent that her performers be able to do contemporary ballet as a full time job, which is to say the cast members live in New York City and don't have to have second and third jobs to survive. A rarity I think the happy-go-lucky freelance performers (I met the night prior) of Hay Fever would have been surprised by.
Holy City Catering laid out a feast of small bites on Greek key table clothes and Southside mojito-esque cocktails were served by Gilmore Bar & Wine Service. While sipping and snacking, partygoers indulged in small talk about additional performances they'd seen including Mike Daisey's The Agony and the Ecstacy of Steve Jobs. Incidentally, while the guests had enjoyed the monologist's show, they agreed that they wouldn't be changing their iPhones to Blackberry's any time soon.
Spoleto general director Nigel Redden was spotted making the rounds, shaking hands, and greeting the patrons who, with already a few parties under their belts, seemed eager for more. And a few more await, with additional fun to be had this next weekend. Another show, another candlelit fête.

Preds Go Defense with 11th Pick
Posted on 27 Jun 2009 by Victor Minicozzi.
The Predators decided to go for another defenseman with a big shot, Ryan Ellis with the 11th overall pick in the draft. This will be a puzzling pick for the Preds fans as the organization is very rich in defensemen and lacks any scoring power up front. I like the pick because this kid is a puck moving defenseman and with all the Preds strength on defense they don't really have a puck m...
