ABERDEEN -- Although it was probably the furthest thing from his mind at the time, Amory High School football coach Allen Glenn gave his old coach Bobby Hall as good of a retirement present as possible Friday as his Panthers ended their nine-game losing streak in the annual A-Team game with a 34-26 upset victory against unbeaten Aberdeen.
Hall, who "retired" last week as coach at Philadelphia High after only two games, coached Glenn, who played with Hall's son, Will, currently the associate head football coach and tight ends coach at Memphis, during Hall's second stint with the Panthers in the '90s.
Hall, the second-winningest coach in Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) history (310-106, four state championships, three at Amory -- 1994, 1995, 1998), had a significant impact on Glenn while coaching at Amory.
"Coach Hall was as good a coach as a player could ask for," Glenn said, "and I try to take what he instilled in us and pass it on to my teams."
Apparently Hall's lessons took root because Glenn's squad played four quarters with the same intensity that his former coach's teams played with from 1984-89 and again from 1993-99.
Friday's battle for the A-Team Trophy turned out to be a study in contrast, as 47 of the 60 points hit the scoreboard in the first half, which ended with the Panthers owning a 27-20 advantage.
Aberdeen cut the deficit to 27-26 in the third quarter, but Amory added a touchdown and an extra point with just under six minutes to play to end the Bulldogs' streak in the Monroe County battle.
Trailing 27-26 early in the fourth quarter, Aberdeen drove from its 18-yard-line to the Amory 15, but sophomore defensive back/wide receiver James Spratt made an interception at his 12 and returned it to the 29 to set up Amory's final touchdown.
Aided by a 10-yard holding penalty and a 15-yard unsportsmanlike walk-off against the Bulldogs, sophomore quarterback Hunter Jones guided the Panthers on a 10-play, 71-yard march. Jones hit Trendon Gillon on an 11-yard pass. Bryn Camp's kick gave Amory some breathing room.
Two plays later, Gillon, a senior two-way starter, dashed any hopes the Bulldogs had of tying the game and sending it into overtime with an interception at the Aberdeen 25 that he returned to the 36. But flags flew from every direction on the return, and the Panthers were hit with live- and dead-ball penalties, which gave them possession at their 10 with 4 minutes, 30 seconds remaining.
Despite the poor field position, Chris Satterwhite, the game's leading rusher with 139 yards on 16 carries, had his number called five consecutive plays and he responded with 26 yards to push the ball to the 36. Jones then picked up 11 more yards on two carries and the all-important first down that allowed the Panthers to run the clock out.
"We haven't beaten Aberdeen since 2008. That's nine losses in a row," said Glenn, who has twice been on the losing end as Amory's coach after going 4-0 as a player from 1996-99.
Jones, who was 12-for-15 for 157 yards and three touchdowns, connected on his first five passes on the Panthers' initial possession. The last completion was a 15-yard strike to Gillon. Camp's point after gave Amory a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter.
After consecutive four-and-outs by both teams, Aberdeen took its only lead (8-7) on a 2-yard touchdown plunge by Brandan Williams on the first play of the second quarter and a two-point pass completion from quarterback Fred Fields to Williams.
Amory regained the lead 40 seconds later when Satterwhite reeled off a 55-yard scamper up the middle to set up K.C. Ivy's 3-yard touchdown plunge. Camp added his second kick to give Amory a 14-8 lead with 48 seconds gone in the second period.
Aberdeen silenced Amory's vocal players and fans when Williams bolted 86 yards untouched with the ensuing kickoff to tie the game at 14, but Gillon deflected Aberdeen's two-point conversion pass.
A short Aberdeen punt set the Panthers up at midfield midway through the second quarter. Amory took a page from Aberdeen's quick-strike philosophy when Jones and Spratt hooked up on a 50-yard double reverse flea-flicker screen pass on first down to break the tie. Glenn then opted to go for the two-point conversion, but his "Dirty Bunch" came up short when Jones was gang-tackled short of the goal.
Forty-five seconds later, it was a 20-20 tie after Fields ripped off an 18-yard run and then connected with Jaquan Jones on a 52-yard touchdown completion. A 15-yard unsportsmanlike walk-off on the two-point try after Jones spiked the ball in the end zone followed by a false start penalty pushed Aberdeen back to the 33. Fields' desperation pass fell incomplete with 5:45 left before half.
Amory shunned its quick-strike offense on its final possession of the first half, as Jones, aided by yet another unsportsmanlike penalty on the Bulldogs, guided the Panthers on an eight-play, 68-yard drive to set up his 5-yard touchdown run up the middle with 41 seconds left. Camp's kick made it 27-20 at halftime.
Big plays in the all-important drive came from Darius Smith on a 14-yard run, Satterwhite on a 20-yard pickup, and Gillon on a 17-yard strike from Jones.
Aberdeen pulled to within a point of knotting the score on its first possession of the third quarter when Williams ran through several tackles for an 11-yard touchdown, but he was stopped short of the goal by Smith after catching a short toss from Fields on the 2-point conversion try.
A time-consuming march by Aberdeen that failed to put points on the scoreboard and Amory's final scoring drive accounted for the final margin and ate up much of the remaining clock.
"Our kids gave a great effort," Glenn said. "We were sloppy in spots, but we created four turnovers and had some explosive plays on offense which sealed the deal."
With the win, Amory can claim a 44-39 advantage in 83rd playing of the rivalry that dates back to at least 1935. In official A-Team Trophy Games that started in 1989, Amory holds a 16-14 advantage.
Before and after the game, several former players and coaches with ties to both sides were asked for their take on the annual clash between Monroe County schools.
Current Amory AD and baseball coach Chad Williams, a two-year starter for the Panthers in 1989 and 1990 who later became an offensive coordinator under Chris Byrd, said anytime Aberdeen and Amory tied up it was going to be a "slobber-knocker."
Ben Ashley got a taste of the rivalry as a coach for both teams, two at Aberdeen and five at Amory, and he lost three-straight games to the Bulldogs as coach from 2013-2015.
"The one thing I liked about this game was that no matter where you coached, it was no problem to get the maximum effort from your players that week," Ashley said.
Derrick Fields, the current assistant to the vice president for Student Services at Mississippi Delta Community College, played in four games against the Panthers and only lost once -- his senior year.
"The thing I remember about the rivalry was this was the one game everyone in Aberdeen wanted to win more than anything," Fields said. "With us, it was win or go home."
Dwight McComb Jr., like Ashley, has had a taste of the rivalry on both sides of the river. He started for his father, Dwight McComb Sr. at Aberdeen and lost three-straight times by a combined score of 108-25. After obtaining his degree, McComb Jr. moved to Amory to start his practice and is now a Panther fan with a son who is a freshman safety.
"I can remember when I played, I stood on the sidelines and hated looking across the field at the Amory sideline," McComb said. "The late Jim Williams (Chad Williams' older brother) caught three touchdown passes on us, and Vincent Brownlee had the other three."
Percy Bell played tailback for the Bulldogs from 1968-1970 and his teams split the series 2-2.
"My fondest memory was scoring three touchdowns in one game against them," said Bell, who went on to play college football.

John, I didn't say "we shouldn't talk about these sites in terms of full WAI accessibility" I said "(I) won't comment on their WAI accessibility, as that could embarrass both parties" the fact is that if one has a budget or desire to develop illustrated resources, whether for children or adults, one is bound to consider the authoring tools available and the results produced. Flash tools are often chosen. I've chosen to use SVG, but that requires much greater patience and more dedication than most will have at the present time. Are you for instance aware that SVG1.1 the spec that most current implementations rely on does not include keyboard navigation> I spent nearly three years badgering Safari, Opera and Mozilla to include keyboard support, outside of WAI. I was successful, they broke the specification... but it was a huge task. I am in total agreement regarding the difficulties, but the fact remains that WAI & WCAG has at least as far to travel in developing their understanding of the issues. in 2004, I asked Judy and the chairs of P&FWG to let me participate as a member, I have renewed the request over the past three years and am still awaiting a response. Their lack of interest, directly led to me leaving WAI at that time. Yesterday I agreed a t a lunch meeting to file bug reports with UA developers to provide a dialogue that enables Flash to be disabled. When instituted this should meet some of your concerns regarding Disney. regards Jonathan Chetwynd On 15 Mar 2007, at 16:07, Slatin, John M wrote: I would find it very helpful if someone would describe at least some of the icons used on the Disney site or Yahooligans, etc. I'm familiar with icons like those for Home and Mail, etc., and with many international road signs, but I have no way to tell which ones may be used on the Disney site.

That it is not a lack of research that is the primary problem for accessibility for cognitive disabilities, but other factors - such as adoptability, interest "appropriateness" etc.. It is essential that people do not think that following WCAG is the best they can do for these communities. Look at the work of WAACI and http://www.handicom.nl/ and http:// peepo.com/ and ld-web.org. That will help you get an idea of what is doable - today. WCAG does not contain guidelines that will help you achieve this type of accessibility. In terms of commercial websites that have adopted symbolic based accessibility - no I do not know of any. There is no legislation to drive them, and the discrimination against these groups are huge. BY the way, the 2001 email was just a sample. I spent years writing and writing test criteria's and guidelines for accessibility for cognitive disabilities. I wrote a CSS techniques, and an RDF techniques document and rewrote the success criteria a bunch of times. We need to view the archives to glean the different approaches and suggestions from over the years, Research existing successes and methodologies, perform a gap analysis etc..... A few sticky plasters is not what is needed. We as standard writers know that. We need a consistent integrated roadmap for access for cognitive disabilities.

It's taken until tonight for me to put this post together. In the last four days we've; travelled to Leicester, stayed at a hotel which meant packing for three kids, spent a day at a theme park in 30 degree heat, travelled home in the aforementioned heat, gotten up to be in the Next Sales at 5am, gotten up at 6am the following
day to go to work, spent the first day of the summer holidays catching up on the washing.
So as you can see we've been busy. I sat down earlier tonight to have a look through my camera and I'm surprised I hadn't taken more photo's while we were away. The reason we went to Leicester is for my sister's Graduation (she studied at DMU) and she wanted us all to have dinner together after her ceremony. Those of you who have followed the blog from the beginning will know that Melissa is the one who stayed at our house looking after Osh & Isabella when Martha was born and had her first operation last year.
As we were in the area anyway we decided that on Friday we would visit Drayton Manor. Have any of you been? What did you think? Isabella loved Thomas Land and Osh enjoyed what rides he went on (he's like his Mammi and doesn't enjoy rides much, he wouldn't even go on the Ben10 thing). I think we'd have been bored if we went to Drayton Manor without the kids though - there's very little for older kids/teens to do there in my opinion. But if your little ones like Thomas The Tank they will love Thomas Land. The baby facilities (microwaves, bottle warmers etc) were ideal if you've also got a Baby with you.
So, without babbling on anymore - here are the pics.

The great Julie Wilson passed away on April 25, 2015. At 90 years old, she was still a vibrant member of the cabaret community, both as a performer and as a cheerleader for cabaret artists. Below, some MAC Members share their memories of Julie.
Julie was always quick with her comments. It was at one of her engagements at New York's Helen's when, post-show, a group of us were sitting around one of the long tables in the bar area. At the far end of the table, a young man said to his equally youthful date, "You know, Julie's going to be giving a show here in October, on her 80th birthday." The lass replied, "80! Who wants to be 80 ?" Julie, hearing the exchange, leaned over and offered, "Someone who's 79, dear."
~ Peter Leavy
(Julie with Andrea Marcovicci)
The first time that I met Julie Wilson I was the new kid in town and Julie was a legend! She performed regularly at the Oak Room of the Algonquin ("the Gonk," as we lovingly referred to the place) and I had yet to begin there. On that first day in 1987, I would never have imagined that I'd perform for twenty-five years into the future. I was waiting behind a curtain for my rehearsal to begin and Julie, who was headlining at the time, caught sight of me. She boomed into the microphone: "Tell her the old broad ain't through yet!" I quaked. My knees knocked, my head began to spin, and I felt like I wanted to melt into the oak paneled walls. But Julie, who never had a mean bone in her entire body, gave me an encouraging hug and our long friendship and mutual admiration had begun. Julie was a bright light – always interested, always caring, always inspirational. Her generosity of spirit extended from being a glamorous fixture at opening nights for the well-established to giving a boost to a newcomer with her shouts of enthusiasm from the house. The last time that we saw each other was in Los Angeles, at The Gardenia, shortly before she passed away. Typical of Julie, she'd come to Open Night Mic, to support the next generation of cabaret singers. ANDREA MARCOVICCI
(Julie with Erv Raible and Jane Scheckter)
We all know that Julie Wilson was a great artist and an elegant lady. But she was also refreshingly down-to-earth. One evening in the early '90s, a friend and I ran into her on Seventh Avenue. We stopped to talk—and talk and talk. She spoke very candidly about a number of things and people. Her Rainbow & Stars engagement came up, and she asked whether we wanted to know how it had come about. Of course we did. She said, "I was sitting at home, when [her manager] called me and asked what I was doing in October. I told him, 'not a fucking thing.' He asked whether I'd like to play Rainbow & Stars and I said 'sure.'"
"How is your lovely voice?" What a way to say hello! She was always warm
and generous with her time and, no matter what I wanted to know about her,
she was always more interested in learning what I was up to. But, then,
she was like that with everyone. When I was writing a feature for Cabaret
Scenes, I called her to get some insight on the artist. She spent a lot of
time giving me more information than I could have used. (I should have let
HER write the article!) One of the last times I saw her just before I was
to perform at a Cabaret Cares event where she and Sidney Myer would be
honored. I told her how thrilled I was to have been asked to be a part of
the show. I also confessed that I had just learned the show had a
theme…Broadway show tunes. The song I had chosen, which I new meant
something to both Julie and Sidney, was not a show tune. When I told her
that she said, "Sing whatever the hell you want!" I've been following her
advice ever since.
I will always cherish the memory of celebrating Julie's 79th birthday together onstage at The Algonquin Hotel's Oak Room with Musical Director Alex Rybeck. I will never forget at our first rehearsal, with Julie sitting on the sofa in Alex's living room, softly speak-singing "I Thought About You." No gardenia, no boa, no gown, just Julie, just devastating and me, sitting by her side, hearing the lyric anew, tears running down my cheek.
"I peeped through the crack
And looked at the track
The one going back to you
And what did I do? I thought about you."
-Jeff Harnar
(Julie Wilson and Julie Halston)
You'd asked for stories about Julie. There are so many that it's hard to choose just one. And so many of us had the same experience with her – her kindness and generosity, her indomitable spirit, unwavering loyalty, and her good humor. She was a wonderfully entertaining raconteur and could teach lessons with every story she told. For someone so accomplished she also possessed an incredible sense of humility and dignity. Here's a perfect example:
The first time that I met Julie Wilson wasn't on stage aglow in romantic lights thrilling the hearts of a responsive audience. It was in the restroom of Eighty Eight's, in the village on tenth street, shortly after the club opened. She was changing from sneakers to heels – a far more appropriate match to the skin-tight glitzy gown which hugged her slinky frame. She smiled at me as I was doing exactly the same thing, minus the glitzy gown and the slinky frame. It was a ritual that we we'd repeat, time after time, in clubs throughout Manhattan. Julie was famous among the cabaret literati for her 'sneaks' as she deftly negotiated New York traffic before traversing the Hudson river on New Jersey transit back home late at night. But as magical as she was in performance, it seemed like donning her sneaks was akin to Clark Kent putting on his glasses to hide the Superman within. Few people recognized Julie as she scurried about and Julie never seemed to notice, although it truly surprised me whenever we'd walk down the street together. But one evening Julie was part of a big Hollywood celebration of movie musicals at Carnegie Hall. She shared the bill with Cyd Charisse, Betty Garrett, Kathryn Grayson, Celeste Holm, Van Johnson, Ann Miller, and Donald O'Connor, just to name a few. Julie welcomed me backstage and it was, indeed, surreal to be surrounded by so many film icons. Julie took it all in stride, and when it was time to go she warned me as we approached the stage door, "Be careful", she said, "There's going to be a lot of people out there and I don't want you to get hurt." It was typical of Julie to think of others before herself. Sure enough, the door swung open, and the moment she stepped outside the crowd descended. People started shouting her name, asking for autographs and to pose for pictures. With deft charm, and the assurance only a lifetime of experience can bring, Julie handled it all with aplomb. Then she quietly walked down the street, anonymous once more. LESLEY ALEXANDER
As a schoolgirl in another time any potential swain who took me to The Maisonette to see Julie Wilson won my heart. I never imagined that in another life we would become intimate friends.
She came to every cabaret act I did, usually twice, to check my "enunciation." And then we would go to Joe Allen where watching Julie focus on devouring every last bite of burger and fries was a lesson in itself. Before our last "blunch" in the fall I got to watch Julie brush her new silver hair, swiftly pin it into her twist and give me some quick pointers on applying makeup. Off we went for a lovely afternoon of omelets and laughter. Julie enriched my life in many ways. I cherish each memory, phone call and many photos from a camera…truly blessed.
-Carol Shedlin
Julie was all heart. When my partner died, she called me at home and was so caring in her message to me when she herself had suffered the heartbreak of losing her son. And for his memorial I asked her to sing the great song from Legs Diamond "The Music That Went Out of My Life." She said she hadn't sung it in years and looked for the music. She found it and rehearsed it with Tracy Stark the afternoon of the Memorial at Don't Tell Mama. When she got up to sing it, she did forget some of the lyrics and prompted by Tracy she went back and started over. The friends of Frank who were not aware of who she was were stunned and asked who was that woman with the boa and the gardenia. Everyone at that Memorial sang a special song that had special meanings to Frank and me. And she was so compassionate to me when I thought I had found a new partner and expressed anger when it did not work out. And she always remembered everything we had done and said together, even in her last days. Her Memorial at Town Hall was one of the highlights of this year. She was a great artist but she had the biggest heart in the business. I remember seeing her at an Arlen tribute at Carnegie Hall when she hadn't appeared in New York for years, living in Omaha with her sons! She was the best singer on the all star bill, I think she sang "I Had Myself A True Love" and it was stunning. I remember the first time I saw her in person in the music tent tour of "Babes In Arms" when she delivered "The Lady Is A Tramp" and "Johnny One Note" in a company that included Barbara Sharma and the music director was Peter Howard. And I never missed any of her shows at the Algonquin and took my uncle and aunt to see her there. They were great fans of Lisa Kirk but they rapidly converted to Julie Wilson fans. And it's true, if there were only one or two people in the audience on a blizzard night she still did a full show! JOE REGAN

(Steven Colby, at his Bar Mitzvah, with Julie)
We all know Julie as the most timelessly beautiful, witty and heartfelt queen of cabaret. Many of us were also lucky enough to have experienced the kindest and most generous of souls. Julie went out of her way for people like no one else I've ever met. Julie was there for me both professionally and personally at every turn. Julie captivated me since I first saw her performing at Brothers & Sisters during the 1970s. It was my annual tradition to celebrate my birthday (falling the same week as her in October) attending her latest breathtaking show at the Algonquin, which my grandparents (Ben and Mary Bodne) owned from 1946-1987. She would have cut short a high school reunion in Nebraska to perform at a planned memorial when my grandfather passed away (though my grieving grandmother canceled the event). She was the highlight of the subsequent memorial to both of my grandparents in 2000, after my grandmother passed. She was always happy to learn and perform my songs at benefits and other events. She coached my son Steven, whom she was crazy about, on his singing when she attended his bar mitzvah in NJ. She was extraordinarily inspiring when I arranged for her to oversee a Master Class in cabaret arts. There never was and never will be anyone like the great Julie Wilson. – Michael Colby

Happy Birthday Tara Lazar - June 21
There have been occasions the timing has been almost perfect for discovering a new author birthday. Then other times I had to wait many months to celebrate with my family. There have been occasions life was just too busy to celebrate. Then other times we were fortunate to celebrate more than one birthday in the same week.
It was well over a year ago when Tara Lazar told me her birthday. I added her birthday to my planner despite her saying that it would be quite some time until her picture books would be published. Last year on June 21, we exchanged a quick Twitter conversation:
Fast forward to this year....Tara Lazar's debut picture book, The Monstore, was available for pre-order from Amazon and was delivered to our home on June 8! Sometimes the timing IS absolutely perfect for celebrating an author birthday.
Tara Lazar had a passion for writing for children well before publishing The Monstore. In grade school, she wrote a picture book with a friend and convinced her great-grandparents it was really published. (Kimmie Poppins) In junior high, she wrote many popular stories that were "photocopied and read for a buck in the bathroom." (Heather Ayris Burnell). More recently in 2008, she created PiBoIdMo, a challenge held every year to inspire children's picture book writers to come up with 30 picture book ideas in 30 days. Tara's future as a children's author is bright. She is following up The Monstore with two more picture books, I Thought This Was a Bear Book (2014) and Little Red Gliding Hood (2015).
I asked Tara if she would be willing to share a birthday memory or tradition. She came up with two childhood birthday memories you will really enjoy:
I remember my fifth birthday party when my mother bought me a hula outfit. I loved it immediately and put it on in the bathroom, where no one could see me. But then she begged me to come out and show the family. Well, there was my handsome teenage cousin there! I couldn't let him see me in a bikini and grass skirt! I would not come out of the bathroom. My mother begged and pleaded with me, but I would not budge. Then she said, "Oh your cousin Robert went home." So I opened the door a crack and peeked through. I didn't see him. So I hula'ed on out. My mother led me to the patio where the entire family was assembled, downing burgers and potato salad. And there was Robert! AHHHHHH! I screamed, ran back into the bathroom and slammed the door. I was so embarrassed I didn't come out for a good half hour, after I stuffed the hula outfit in the shower and put regular clothes back on!
My father has a very dry sense of humor. For my eighth birthday, we had a bowling party. My father told the kids we were "bowling for dinner" (like the old game show "Bowling for Dollars"). One girl took him seriously. "Is it true we can't have a burger unless we bowl a strike?" Poor girl, I had to explain my father's warped sense of humor. Which, by the way is where I get mine from!
Thank you Tara for sharing your birthday memories! I want to congratulate you once again on your first published picture book! Our family really enjoyed it!
The Monstore "sells only the most useful monsters, just right for doing tricky things around the house". Zack purchases a monster to help him with his bothersome little sister. He quickly becomes an unsatisfied Monstore-customer and tries to return the "broken" monster only to learn that there are "NO RETURNS. NO EXCHANGES." Zack tries other monsters that specialize in handling annoying-little sister-behavior, but with each purchase his situation gets more and more awful. In the end, Zack finds out that maybe the monsters weren't broken after all and that they did help ease some of the tension in his relationship with his sister.
The monsters in the book, illustrated by James Burks, are really awesome! My favorite was the "Glow-in-the-Dark" monster, a one-eyed monster that provides light for a child while they read under the covers. I couldn't help thinking about my own children who all love reading in their beds with flashlights and head lamps. This illustration sparked an idea for a project that I knew they were going to love.
|It didn't take long and my children began creating their monsters with plastic containers and colored tape.
|My oldest son chose to use craft feathers too!
|My kids were really into this project! Here is how you can create your own:
|We started with a plastic container. We used 32 oz. yogurt containers, large cottage cheese containers and large Coffee-mate coffee cream bottles.
|We covered the container with colored tape.
|We cut a metal coat hanger to size, drilled a small hole in the center of the container, pushed the coat hanger through the hole and then secured it with tape.
|Then, we used two clear yogurt container lids (the kind of yogurt that come with the granola on top) to make what would be the eye of the "Glow-in-the-Dark" monster.
|First, I cut a hole in the back lid so the solar panel would be visible. Then, I taped the back lid to the front lid so the solar light component was secure.
|The monster eye was then taped to the coat hanger. I bent the coat hanger until it was balanced and could stand on its own without tipping over.
|A mouth, tooth, and legs were added to complete this useful monster.
|I told you he was excited about his project!
|A MONSTORE face from my youngest son!
|My oldest daughter made a multi-colored-rainbow-peace-sign-Glow-in-the-Dark monster! Check out the Monster Care Instructions sheet she designed below! Free to download!
|We won't be returning or exchanging this monster to The Monstore. He works just fine!

POV: Forging Strategic Partnerships with Businesses Can Advance Entrepreneurial Learning
Entrepreneurship and small business growth are always hot topics in communities across the U.S., but never more so than in the wake of the recession. Community colleges can take a leadership role in local economic development by providing educational opportunities – both credit and credit-free – that give would be entrepreneurs and the owners of existing small businesses the knowledge and skills they need to succeed.
But these programs would be significantly more robust if they included strategic partnerships with entrepreneurial companies in your community that have a vested interest both in working with your institution and in seeing the local business community grow.
Many schools already have built alliances around the issue of economic development with governmental entities and community development corporations. Many colleges also work closely with business groups such as the Small Business Development Centers and chambers of commerce. And quite frequently, local entrepreneurs are invited on campus to speak to entrepreneurship classes or workshops.
But few schools have tapped deeply into the huge potential offered by building mutually beneficial alliances with entrepreneurial companies. Such alliances could significantly extend and enrich your entrepreneurship education program, making the concept of entrepreneurship come alive for students. Out of this would grow an increased potential for economic growth in your community when those students either start their own businesses or enter the workforce armed with the types of entrepreneurial skills and know-how that employers crave.
Strategic partnerships are most successful when each partner has a vested interest in achieving a successful outcome. We've already delineated a few of the potential benefits your institution could obtain from having strategic partnerships with entrepreneurial companies. But what is in it for the entrepreneurs? That's a big question you will need to answer before approaching any potential partners. This may require some out-of-the-box thinking, but here are just a few potential answers to that key question:
For companies interested in developing new products and services, a community college could serve as a new product development lab, where students give feedback on product concepts and perhaps serve as beta testers. Just think of how being exposed to how companies actually go through the product development process would enrich the entrepreneurial learning of your students, while at the time providing the partner company with a very valuable source of market research.
Such a relationship may be particularly attractive to technology companies. An added benefit for your school of these private/public partnership is early access to leading-edge technologies that, in some instances, could help your institution cut costs or improve efficiency.
For companies serving the business-to-business market, schools with business incubators, including student incubators, could arrange interactions between the incubator tenants and the partner company, again for the purpose of market research or new product development.
By hosting networking sessions geared toward bringing the entrepreneurial community together, a community college can help partner companies make new connections and perhaps forge new alliances. At the same time, such events would expose more entrepreneurs and business people to your facility and your entrepreneurship program.
It is easy to see how an array of various forms of strategic partnerships with entrepreneurial companies — built around the concept of tying together the college's success in entrepreneurship education and the partnering company's entrepreneurial success — could also result in your institution becoming the go-to place for entrepreneurship education in your region. Establishing successful alliances with
local companies may later open up
the possibility of partnering with larger regional, or even national firms.
Boosting economic development through effective entrepreneurship education is a daunting task. Perhaps one of the biggest challenges involved is making entrepreneurship come alive for students, in a meaningful, experiential way so their entrepreneurial spark is lit, instead of just teaching them the basics in a traditional classroom setting. Building two-way relationships in which entrepreneurs are an active part of your organization can greatly serve to meet this challenge.
Instead of going it alone, strategic alliances of all types can be the keys to success when it comes to meeting the goal of entrepreneurship education and supporting your community's economic health. Partnering with all types of organizations, including companies in the private sector, can help your community college achieve uncommon success.

Ok, I swear there's something interesting to see in this video despite the lackluster host. Motherboard takes us into Western WindEEE Research Institute to show us how some drones are being stress tested to withstand heavy and unpredictable winds.
The WindEEE Dome isn't just for testing drones of course. It's main purpose is to study wind formations in order to better predict and understand how storms work and affect us. Pretty cool to see when the smoke machine is turned on.
Anyway, since that video sucked so much, here are some more videos of the WindEEE Dome.

The following morning Lucas and his mother arose before anyone else and left in the car. At the Belswill service station they turned west onto the M25. Lucas sat quietly in the front passenger seat while his mother drove. She talked non-stop about the new home; her earlier misgivings and regrets appeared to have dissolved. "...and the Cooker, Lu! It's got a halogen hob and extractor; have you ever seen anything like it? To think that we could ever own something like that! Your dad's an amazing man!..." Lucas thought of his father's little yellow book and remained silent.
They took the M1 and the M6 up to Birmingham then continued north through Stoke-on-Trent to Liverpool. They arrived at their old hometown at midday after having done the entire journey without stopping. His mother parked outside their block of flats and got out, Lucas rubbing and stretching his stiff limbs. It was a bright, warm day, washing hung on the lines outside balconies and music blared from one of the windows. In the shadow of the huge tower children frolicked in the little rec. The concrete canyons echoed with the thunder of the warplanes which cruised overheard above the city since the disaster at Anfield. Lucas and Mary entered the familiar doorway and walked through the graffiti-covered lobby to the lifts. The door to their old flat had a council notice on it announcing that the home had been vacated. Mary paused, as if wondering if the locks had been changed, but her key opened the door as normal.
Their home was untouched, exactly as they'd left it down to the half-finished drawing on the kitchen table that Cara had been doing. Her colour-pencils lay beside it. On the sideboard by the sink were his and Brendan's dirty teacups. "Right." said Mary, stiff-lipped. "Let's get on with it, Lu. Just the bare essentials; remember it has to fit in the car."
"What will happen to the stuff we leave behind, Mum?"
"The council will bin it. Some of it might go to charity." She jerked open a drawer and began rummaging.
Lucas went to his bedroom and stood in the doorway for a few minutes, his eyes shuttling from one of his possessions to another. He sighed, then unplugged his Playstation and tipped his collection of DVD's and books into his suitcase. He was about to seek out his favourite clothes when he realized that his father probably wouldn't let him wear them.
"Don't look so dismal, Love." She smiled sympathetically as he appeared in the lounge with his suitcase. "Nothing lasts forever. God has given us all a wonderful gift, a new and better life." They went back down to the car and loaded their belongings into the boot and onto the back seat. "Right, Lu. Let's go and pay Tina and Sean a quick visit." She got into the driving seat.
"You go, Mum." He replied quickly. "I want to visit someone else. I'll meet up with you later."
His mother tilted her glance and said in a curious tone "Alright, Lu; I'll see you at Tina's flat at 3 o'clock."
Lucas waited until she'd driven out of sight then set off in the opposite direction, his heart thumping. His destination was a twisty cul-de-sac of modern, red-bricked houses; these were private properties, not council and were four or five bedroom jobs, even bigger than Lucas' new abode. He shivered as he caught sight of one of the homes, with its familiar frosted-glass door and smooth lawn. His hands fumbled with the gate-latch and his heart sprinted as he walked up the path and rang the doorbell.
"Oh... Hello, Lucas." The woman who answered the door wore her usual reluctant smile of welcome. "I heard you'd moved away."
"I've just come back to visit, Mrs Lovelock."
"Oh." She appeared relieved. "I'll call Jody for you." She shut the door, leaving him on the front step.
Lucas glared at the woman's shape, wondering if her hostility would ease if she knew the kind of house he was living in now. The door reopened a minute later and Jody peeped out. "Lucas!" She smiled broadly and swung the door wide.
"Hello, Jody."
"Oh, Lucas! It's good to see you."
They embraced and kissed. "Oh, Jody!" Lucas felt he'd melt with relief and pleasure. He squeezed back tears from his eyes.
She let him go a little sooner than usual and stepped back. "It's good of you to come and visit me, Lucas." There was a strange, almost embarrassed tone in her voice.
"I've come home with my mum to pick up our stuff. I've got to go back soon... I just wanted to see you, Jody. I wanted to say... I'm thinking of you and I want to stay in touch with you. I can visit you in the holidays and..."
"Lucas." She interrupted. "Now's a bad time."
He paused. ""What do you mean?"
She turned away from him nervously and folded her arms. "I'm a bit busy this afternoon."
"What do you mean, Jody?"
"You're going to have to go now, Lucas. I've got to do my homework or Mum'll do her nut." She turned back towards him and kissed him briefly on the cheek. "I'll call you, OK? We'll sort out a time when we can meet up." She stepped back inside the front door. "Have a safe trip home, Lucas." She avoided his gaze and stared at the floor as she shut the door.
Lucas walked sadly back up the street. Before he'd gone a hundred yards he saw a boy on a bicycle ride into the close whom he recognized as Marvyn Paynton, a tall and handsome Year-10 who was captain of the basketball team and head of his house. He glanced briefly at Lucas and greeted him with a nod as he passed. Some instinct made Lucas stop and look back. Marvyn freewheeled down the close towards Jody's house and braked. He mounted the curb by her front gate and locked his bike. Lucas felt no shock; it was as if a jigsaw piece that he knew was there had just fallen into place. Marvyn strode confidently up the garden path and Jody came out to greet him. They kissed passionately in the middle of the front garden. They then walked hand-in-hand into her house and Lucas heard the door shut.
He ran until he could run no longer and collapsed onto a park bench panting dryly. He moaned through his breathing, his nose running and his eyes blurred by tears. After a while he recovered and just sat motionless for a long time, his vision out of focus and his mind blank. The sun was sinking into the line of trees when his mobile phone rang. It was his mother. "Lucas! Where are you?"
"Er..." He cleared his throat. "In Everton Brow Park, Mum ."
"What are you doing there!? Get down to the main road where I can pick you up! We've got to go home now."
"OK, Mum." Lucas stood up and took out his wallet. He gazed at the photo of Jody for a few seconds then screwed it up and dropped it into the litter bin.
The TV picture shows a vast desert landscape of dunes and rocks. Soldiers in camouflaged battledress and helmets are running in front of the camera brandishing rifles. A news reporter begins his commentary: "These are the men of the Royal Welsh Regiment engaged in Operation Cannard, the largest multinational exercise since the Cold War. When they came here none of them expected it to be a prelude to a real war. However, like all the British armed forces, the unexpected is always on the cards. These two battalions are awaiting redeployment to the borders of ACAIR, but until their orders are finalized they continue to train in attack and evasion methods, here in the harsh desert sand of Oman and Qatar." The picture switches to a cloudy day on an airport apron. A C-130 Hercules transport plane is backed onto the camera with its cargo doors wide open exposing its black cave-like interior. Servicemen are pushing pallets of boxes up the ramp into the aircraft's hold. "At RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire supplies are being sent to the prospective battle lines almost every hour. "There's a feeling here that war is inevitable..."
Charles Doughty flicked off the TV and dropped the remote control onto the coffee table. He got up and went to the kitchen. "Everything alright, love?" asked his wife getting up from her seat and putting s hand on his shoulder.
"Fine." He replied shortly, scooping a large spoonful of coffee and dumping it into a mug. He threw in a splash of hot water from the kettle and gulped it back. His brain was churning over his various problems... challenges, he corrected himself while Mary was talking in the background of his consciousness.
"Charlie." She said loudly.
"What?" He turned to look at her.
"I said do you want me to pick the kids up from school?"
"Erm... yeah. Sure."
She chuckled. "What planet are you on, Love?"
"Sorry, Mary. I've got a few things on my mind. I'm going to open the shop early today."
"Why's that?"
"Business is so good; I need time to deal with the extra orders." he lied.
She grinned broadly and gave him a hug. "It's wonderful that you're doing so well." When will you be ready to begin expanding?"
"Any day now, Pet." He said quietly.
"I'm so proud of you." She sat down and returned to her half-finished breakfast.
After a pause she said: "One of thing, Love. When are you going to have that little chat with Lucas?"
"Soon, Mary."
"Being his dad you might be able to get through to him."
"Brendan and Cara seemed to have settled in here OK, but not Lucas. Do you think he's happy at that school?"
"How would he know; it's only his fourth week there. They'll all be moving schools soon anyway."
"Well whatever niggling him it needs to be cleared up. Perhaps you could take him out somewhere for the day; to the flicks, or to football."
"Not to football!" he retorted, then added more quietly: "I'll heart-to-heart with him sometime soon. I've got to go now." He kissed her. "I'll be home a bit late tonight; I've got my elocution lesson."
"OK. Charlie. Drive carefully; God bless."
Charlie left the house and walked towards where he'd parked his car fifty yards down the street. He glanced around him before opening the door to check that none of the neighbours were watching. It was a Volkswagen Passat, the best he could afford right now, but it wasn't good enough. Buying a new car was currently Number 3 on his APL, Advancement Priority list.

For my home computing I mostly use Linux, but at work I use Windows 7. I also own a Windows 7 laptop. I often wished Windows 7 had a screen capture program like most Linux distros. For the longest time, I thought the only way to get a screen shot or snippet was by using SHIFT-CTRL-Print Screen, or installing some third party program. Then I discovered the Windows Snipping Tool. The Snipping Tool is a handy little utility for capturing part or all of your screen. Continue reading

Get More Traffic to Your Site with These SEO Tips
The most crucial thing for virtually any company website, is getting as many individuals to see your site as you possibly can. Probably the best method of improving web traffic is a method called, search engine optimisation, which improves your site's visibility on internet search engines. Read to discover the way you can put this to use to increase your visitors.
There is absolutely no sense in optimising your website for "hooded sweatshirts" in case your target market calls them "hoodies." You just should know what phrases people are really using, not what you believe they utilise. One priceless instrument in your quest is Google Insights, that may show you, in incredible detail, patterns of Google searches, both worldwide or by state, extending back to 2004. Get a solid handle on the words folks ACTUALLY use to locate what they are looking for and you could have confidence in the keywords which you choose for Search Engine Optimisation.
Frequent upgrades are a strong instrument in the ongoing attempt to optimise a website for search engines like google. It is tempting to view search engine optimisation as a one-time thing to get a company website, but in truth it's a continuing process. Incorporating a content strategy with fresh content for your website – articles which has the same keywords as the remaining part of the site – can control the website's position on internet search engine results pages.
Utilise resources including Google stats to see which keywords are getting consumers to your site. Are there any key words which aren't obtaining the hits that you would anticipate? All these really are the key words which you must improve. Make sure you have set them as keywords in your title tag, be sure that they're thoroughly used on your site, and possibly make use of these in the title of among your site's webpages.
When it comes time to boosting your visitors, begin by modifying its content. Attracting traffic is something, but keeping it there and keeping visitors coming back requires great content.
Use an accurate title tag to make sure that internet search engines will comprehend your own page content. Maintain your text all the way down to 60 characters or less, since several search engines stop the content at that point. Also, something after sixty figures is given less thought.
Take some time to generate a site map for your own web site. This really is a a full page record that provides a list of all the the pages and links of your site to ensure that search engine spiders can certainly search your website. Using that sitemap makes your visitors have to use fewer clicks to really go to where they would like to really go.
Select your website colours prudently. Distinct colours get individuals in to various dispositions. So if your web site 's colour does not enhance your brand, then you may be making dissonance in the mind of your audience. As an example, a trade name marketing sunscreen could be clever not to choose a dark-hued background due to brand image. A lighter colour, more in tune together with the outside, may place these customers in a better mindset.
One wonderful solution to drive mare focus to your advertising website is to add a resource section to your own website. Using this method, you may get more visibility on internet search engines. This necessarily will get you more traffic. Additionally, this resource part will probably attract more potential customers.
Among the most effective ways to get your site ranked high with the search engines will be to put your keyword in the domain name. With search engine optimisation, your key word being placed in the domain name significantly increases your position. It could even have sufficient effect to put you in the very first site.
Be descriptive with all of your links, be they video, banner, text, or images. No one will be thinking about clicking a link that simply says "Click me." They would like to understand what they are getting themselves in to! Using your keywords in the description can also help to bump you up on the search engine results page, so it is a great situation!
Understand your search engine. Some search engines have over 200 different approaches that they use to judge in case your site is worthy of being in the top of the search listings. Make an effort to learn as many of those as possible and use them to your benefit. Many websites may list a few, however, it is best to make an effort to find as many as you can.
Keep your meta descriptions fascinating, to be able to bring more visitors for your site and enhance your Search Engine Optimisation. Engaging information in your meta description can attract visitors to your web site, as this is used by Yahoo, as the the written text below your link in search results. Upping your visitors consistently over a longer period of time, helps to boost your overall ranking, therefore remain creative and engaging!
A successful method on earth of search engine optimisation includes including relevant keywords in URLs themselves. It is always optimal to have vital keywords as a piece of the domain-name itself, but it's also helpful to have them inside the filename or directory pathway of your URLs. This aids search motors determine yours as a website most relevant to users depending on the terms they most often utilise to discover a particular kind of articles.
Use keywords effectively for search engine optimisation by reaching a balance between not enough key phrases and a lot of key words. Key words should show up in the name, in your content and also in your picture names. Watch out for setting an exceedingly large number of key words throughout your website in order to avoid having a lookup engine consider you as a spammer.
Set a suggestion box on your web site to ensure that visitors can let you know everything you need to do to raise traffic on your site. if you are using any suggestions that are posted you ought to credit the person who's thought it was and provide them some type of complimentary present.
A website that uses search engine optimisation is almost constantly, considerably more effective, than one it doesn't. As you can see, search engine optimisation is not just free, but relatively simple to implement. Follow the hints and tricks in this article to optimise your website and watch the traffic flow in. If you do struggle to implement anything, you should get in touch with a reputable SEO services provider.

Georgia Plans Large-Scale Celebrations to Mark 100th Anniversary of Democratic Republic
In connection with the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the First Democratic Republic of Georgia, around 100 events will be held both inside and outside the country.
The DRG was created after the collapse of the Russian Empire, which began with the Russian Revolution of 1917. However, after four years it collapsed and in 1921 became a Soviet Republic.
The Vice-Premier and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia, Mikheil Janelidze stated that on Georgia's Independence Day, May 26, special events will take place in Akhaltsikhe, in the south-west of Georgia, on the territory of Rabati Castle.
Furthermore, according to Janelidze, public lectures, photo exhibitions, and open-door days in the capital Tbilisi will soon be launched to raise the population's awareness about the importance of May 26.
On 26 May, the descendants of the Georgian historian diaspora living abroad will attend the events of the Independence Day in Tbilisi, and have meetings with representatives of the Georgian government, scientific and cultural circles.
Janelidze noted that Diaspora Days will be celebrated in Tbilisi between May 27-28, with 300 representatives of different countries visiting Georgia to participate in the event.
"The Ministry intends to create a diplomatic museum, and on May 26, it will present to the public numerous interesting exhibits about the history of Georgian diplomacy," he added.
In connection to this important date for Georgia, the Government of Lithuania will open Tbilisi Street in Vilnius on May 26.
Furthermore, 26 sights in various foreign countries will light up in the colors of Georgia's national flag - white and red.
Janelidze added that UNESCO will host a joint concert of famous Georgian artist and UNESCO Peace Ambassador Eliso Bolkvadze and Georgian folk Ensemble Basiani.
A special event will be held in the United Nations (UN) headquarters in New York, featuring the presentation of a special stamp dedicated to the 850th anniversary of iconic Georgian poet Shota Rustaveli.
According to the Minister, the remarkable date in Georgian history will also be celebrated in the Council of Europe (CoE) headquarters.
Celebrations will also be held at the Leuville Georgian estate, a historical Chateau Estate around 27 kilometers from Paris, where the first Government of Georgia settled in exile after fleeing their home in 1921, when the Russian Red Army entered Georgia.

Charter Chugs Along in Q2
Charter Communications returned to basic customer losses in the second quarter, but initiatives taken up by its new CEO seem to be beginning to take hold.
Charter lost 72,000 basic video customers in the second quarter, better than the 83,000 it lost in the same period last year. The loss comes after Charter gained 27,000 basic video customers in the first quarter.
Revenue for the period rose 5% to $1.9 billion and cash flow increased 2.7% to $693 million.
Charter added 37,000 high-speed data customers and 12,000 voice subscribers in the period. Non-video customers increased by 56,000 in the period and now number close to 1 million homes. On a conference call with analysts to discuss results, Charter CEO Tom Rutledge said those customers represent a future upsell opportunity for the video product. But he added he sees more upside in those homes inside the footprint that do not buy any services from the cable operator. Charter has the lowest residential video customer penetration in the industry at about 34%.
Rutledge started several initiatives after taking the helm officially in February, among them a focus on new programming packaging, including beefing up HDTV offerings, and revamping its high-speed Internet offerings.
Charter has increased its HD channels to more than 100, and eliminating lower-tier high-speed data service - the introductory speed is now 30 Megabits per second. The result has been a higher uptake of its triple play offering - Rutledge said triple play sell-in doubled during the quarter - and more efficient operations.
And the CEO sees those changes to the video product as a tool to help it win back customers from satellite competitors.
"We have an inherently superior video product than our competitors in most places, a superior voice product and a superior data product," Rutledge said. "Put those all together in packaging that is compelling it actually creates a value proposition for the consumer based on what they are actually paying and we think we have an opportunity to grow our business for years to come."

My recording of it was made off Channel 4 in the early hours of Sunday, November 19th, 1995 and it hasn't been shown since.
Dr Blood's Coffin, released in 1961, is an excellent, underated British horror movie that deserves a video or DVD release. Kieron Moore and Hazel Court are both very good in it and the Eastman Color location photography of Cornwall is beautiful.
Although given an X certificate at the time, the horror elements now look pretty tame by today's standards, but still pack a punch. It was never banned in any way. Just went out on general release and was forgotten about over the long years since the early 1960's.
Sorry I can't make a copy for you, but I don't have two video machines and I never loan out my tapes to anyone. But perhaps you should contact Channel 4 and ask them for a repeat...after all, it is nine years since they last ran it.

When 17 weeks pregnant, it means that you are already 5 months pregnant. It's a favorable time not marred by any negative feelings. However, some changes you still feel: perhaps this will be bleeding gums, increased sweating, or profuse vaginal discharges.
If you rest much, go to sleep on time, and do not bother yourself with excessive troubles, then the fifth month of pregnancy begins just fine for you.
What is going on
The uterus is growing now not in width but upwards. Therefore, a little pain can accompany this process. Unfortunately, the satellites of this phenomenon can be an unpleasant heartburn, shortness of breath, and frequent urination. But you won't necessarily experience all these signs.
Thrush can get worse at the 17th week of pregnancy. The doctor will tell you how to combat it. But, in any case, you will have to stop eating sweets.
You can also notice that your heartbeat became more frequent. This happens because the placenta is carrying nutrients thought the vessels. A high heart activity can result in bleeding gums, so you'll have to visit the dentist to learn some secure means for rinsing your mouth. You can start sweating harder, but don't you worry. Just take a shower more often and use a good deodorant without harsh odors.
Your baby
Your little one is as big now as a pear: her height is up to 14 cm, her weight is 200 g.
This week the baby's immune system starts working; her body begins to produce its immunoglobulin and interferon. Now, in case her mother gets ill, the baby is defensed.
This week the baby is quite active and can sometimes be frightened by sharp sounds.
Under the skin of the child fat is already formed which will later help to regulate her body heat. Baby's heart is practically formed and it copes well with its function. In girls at this time the uterus begins to form.
At the 17th week of pregnancy, buds of the permanent teeth start hardening. The adrenal glands actively produce hormones, the pituitary works actively. The kid hears voices and is able to feel all her mother's emotions.
All these changes in the child's body structure confirm her correct development.
When the course of pregnancy is normal, your doctor doesn't appoint ultrasound at the 17th week.
Slight fatigue and the first communication
Even if something troubles you like poor sleep due to the lack of habitual postures, or constant heartburn, try not to cast down. Remember that the baby responds to your both emotions and mood. The stirs of the child, as a rule, are the proof. Talk to your baby, it's so important for her to communicate even at this early stage of development.
Get plenty of rest, ask relatives to help you with the housework. There is nothing wrong if you can't cope with the usual volume of household chores.
Traditions of a "pregnant" diet
Heartburn, constipation, and increased flatulence can occur at this stage. And there's only one way to help your body: it is a proper nutrition. Eat often but in small portions. Each meal should be useful; it is better not to eat dishes mad of various components. Your digestive system now doesn't definitely need such a load.
Be sure to eat daily whole grain bread, cereals, fruits and vegetables, dairy products.
If you detected some unusual vaginal discharges, urgently visit the doctor. The doctor will analyze the smear of these secretions and establish their nature.
Purulent, yellow or green discharges must put on your guard, as well as those with flakes and bad smell. It's the sign of reproductive tract infections.
It is also can be a sign of exacerbation of thrush, which also requires treatment. Normal are considered light and milky discharges, homogeneous in composition with a slightly sour smell.
Your feelings
The changes are likely to be visible. Your nose swells a bit, lips grow bigger, cheeks get rosy.
Your tummy at the 17th week of pregnancy significantly increases, you can hardly hide it from the others. Sometimes one can see the baby's stirs not ever touching your tummy.
Wear only comfortable clothes, otherwise shortness of breath and a feeling of suffocation will seriously torment you.
