Seller acknowledges and agrees that all right, title and interest in all xTuple logos, trade names, trademarks and service marks, including those incorporated in Links (collectively, the "xTuple Marks"), are the sole and exclusive property of xTuple and may not be used without xTuple's prior written consent.

Seller shall not assert the invalidity, unenforceability or contest the ownership by xTuple of the xTuple Marks in any action or proceeding of whatever kind or nature, and shall not take any action that may prejudice xTuple's rights in the xTuple Marks, render the xTuple Marks generic, or otherwise weaken their validity or diminish their associated goodwill. Seller also agrees to abide by the publicly available "xTuple Trademark Policy" made available on the xTuple website, as revised by xTuple from time to time in its discretion.

8.2 Restrictions.
Seller shall not, and shall not allow third parties to, directly or indirectly, without a separate license from xTuple (either the CPAL open source license for the PostBooks Edition of xTuple, or the xTuple End-User License Agreement for the commercial Editions of xTuple ERP): A) copy, sell, license, distribute, install on a third party machine (remotely or directly), rent, lease, assign, or otherwise transfer ownership rights to any software distributed by xTuple under any trademark owned by xTuple (the "xTuple Software"); B) transfer, transmit, or export the xTuple Software or portion thereof in violation of any export control laws or regulations administered by the U.S. Commerce Department or any other government agency; C) modify, adapt, translate, or prepare derivative works from the Software and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall not, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive source code from the xTuple Software; D) remove, obscure, or alter xTuple's copyright notice, trademarks, or other proprietary rights notices affixed to or contained within the xTuple Software; E) Fork any version of the xTuple Software.

8.3 No Confusing Content.
Seller agrees that the domain name for Seller's site does not and will not contain the "xTuple" mark, or any variation thereof.

The initial term of this Agreement shall be for a one (1) year period commencing on the date of xTuple's acceptance of Seller's Application. This Agreement shall be automatically renewed for subsequent Renewal Terms unless either party provides the other party with notice of its intent not to renew at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the existing term. Such termination may be for one or more Seller's Products (including a termination for all Seller's Products). Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time and for any or no reason upon the provision of sixty (60) days written notice to the other.
9.2 Effect of Termination.
Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason for one or more Seller Products, but not the Agreement as a whole, Seller will immediately: (a) cease use of, and remove from Seller's Site, all Links and any other materials provided by or on behalf of xTuple to Seller pursuant to this Agreement relating to the Seller's Products for which the Agreement is terminated and (b) cease any and all promotional activities Seller may be undertaking for the Seller Products for which the Agreement is terminated.

9.3. Discontinuation of Seller Support.
In the event of the discontinuation of support or maintenance of any Seller Product, Seller agrees to transfer to xTuple all right, title, interest, copyright, source code, and patent rights in and to the discontinued Seller Product. Seller further agrees that xTuple shall have the right to enter into a direct contractual or other relationship with any customer regarding the discontinued Seller Product, software support, or any other matters. xTuple shall have no obligation to account to Seller for any revenues or other consideration received from any such relationships. Support or maintenance of Seller Product shall be deemed to have occurred if a) xTuple is notified by a customer that Seller is not supporting the product or providing updates, b) xTuple contacts Seller to inquire as to the current status of support or maintenance of the Seller Product, and c) Seller has not satisfactorily responded to xTuple within 30 days. The provisions of Sections 1, 3 (with respect to any outstanding fees), 5, 9.2, 9.3, and 10 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
10. Limitation of Liability.
11. Representations and Warranties.
Seller hereby represents and warrants to xTuple the following: (a) this Agreement and any attachment hereto has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Seller and constitutes Seller's legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms; (b) the execution, delivery and performance by Seller of this Agreement and the consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time, or both, conflict with or violate any provision of law, rule or regulation to which Seller is subject, any order, judgment or decree applicable to Seller or binding upon Seller's assets or properties, any provision of Seller's by-laws or certificate of incorporation or organization or any agreement or other instrument applicable to Seller or binding upon Seller's assets or properties; (c) Seller is an adult of at least 18 years of age; (d) Seller is the owner of the Seller Marks and has all the rights and power to license such marks to xTuple; (e) Seller's Site and business complies, and shall continue during the term of this Agreement to comply, with all applicable laws; (f) Seller holds all necessary rights to permit the use of the Product Information by xTuple for the purpose of this Agreement; (g) Seller holds all necessary rights and permissions to grant the licenses hereunder and (h) the Product Information does not and will not violate any applicable laws or regulations or any third party rights, or contain any inaccuracies, omissions, misrepresentations or any material that is inappropriate, vulgar, obscene, unlawful or otherwise objectionable, including any material that encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense or give rise to civil liability.
12. Confidentiality.
As a result of Seller's participation in the Program, xTuple may disclose either verbally or in writing to Seller certain information which xTuple considers to be confidential ("Confidential Information"). Confidential Information shall remain strictly confidential and secret and shall not be utilized, directly or indirectly, by Seller for Seller's own business purposes or for any the purpose of exercising its rights and obligations under the Agreement except and solely to the extent that any such information is generally known or available to the public or if the same is required by law or legal process.
13. Indemnification.
Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless xTuple, its shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, successors and assigns, from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages or expenses (including attorneys' fees and costs) of any nature whatsoever incurred or suffered by xTuple (collectively the "Losses"), in so far as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based on: (a) any claim or threatened claim that xTuple 's use of any Seller Mark, Product Information or other material provided by Seller infringes on the copyright, trade secret, trademark, patent or other intellectual property rights, proprietary rights or other rights of any third party; (b) the breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller herein, or any of Seller's obligations herein; or (c) any claim related to Seller's Site, business or practices.
14. Other Provisions.
14.1 Relationship of Parties.
xTuple and Seller are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement or any attachment hereto will create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship between the parties. Seller has no authority to make or accept any offers or representations on behalf of xTuple, and agrees not to make any statement, whether on Seller's Site or otherwise, that reasonably would contradict anything in this Section.
14.2 Modification; Assignment.
Seller understands that the Program is experimental and xTuple may need to modify the terms of the Agreement to reflect changes in its business model, xTuple may modify any of the terms contained in this Agreement or MarketPlace Terms and Conditions or any other document incorporated herein by reference, at any time and in xTuple's sole discretion, and any such modification may include material changes. Posting on the Site of a change notice or a new agreement is considered sufficient notice, although xTuple may also notify Seller of changes by email. Unless otherwise noted in an amendment, amendments shall automatically be deemed to take effect on the first day of the calendar month that occurs at least 30 days after the date that xTuple first posted the amendment. If any modification is unacceptable to Seller, Seller's only recourse is to terminate this Agreement by providing xTuple with written notice thereof no later than thirty (30) days after the date that the change was posted or otherwise took effect. Seller's continued participation in the Program following the xTuple posting of a change notice or new agreement on the Site, or notifying Seller by email, will constitute binding acceptance of the change. Seller agrees always to provide xTuple with timely written updates of Seller's contact information. Seller may not assign, sublicense or otherwise transfer this Agreement or any of Seller's rights or obligations hereunder, by operation of law or otherwise, without xTuple's prior written consent, which may be withheld in xTuple's sole and absolute discretion. Subject to that restriction, this Agreement, or any attachment hereto, will be binding on, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable against the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
14.3 Interpretation.
The parties have agreed to execute this Agreement and any attachment hereto in the English language. In the event of any dispute in connection with this Agreement or any attachment hereto, the English language version of the Agreement or any attachment hereto will control for all purposes. Any action brought under this Agreement or any attachment hereto shall be conducted in the English language. xTuple's failure to enforce Seller's strict performance of any provision of this Agreement hereto will not constitute a waiver of xTuple's right to enforce such provision or any other provision of this Agreement. The headings used in this Agreement or any attachment hereto are for convenience only and are not intended to be used as an aid to interpretation. If any part of this Agreement or any attachment hereto is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or unenforceable, the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement or any attachment hereto shall not be affected and such provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision consistent with applicable law and, in its modified form, such provision shall then be enforceable and enforced.
14.4 Governing Law.
The validity and effect of this Agreement will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without regard to its rules of conflicts of law, including without limitation by all provisions of Virginia's enactment (without regard for its actual effective date), as it may be amended from time to time, of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act.
14.5 Dispute Resolution.
The parties shall act in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly resolve any claim, dispute, controversy or disagreement (each a "Dispute") between the parties under or related to this Agreement. The efforts will include at least one face-to-face meeting between senior executive officers of the parties. Any Dispute arising out of this Agreement that cannot be resolved by the parties shall be governed exclusively by arbitration. The arbitration will be initiated and conducted (except as otherwise provided herein) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, shall be conducted by a panel of three arbitrators, and shall be conducted in the Norfolk, Virginia metropolitan area. The arbitrator shall have the power to award reasonable attorney's fees and costs to the prevailing party in any arbitration, and either party shall have the right to take appropriate action to enforce any arbitration award. Nothing contained in this provision shall prohibit a party from seeking immediate injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to stop a party from breaching this Agreement.
14.6 Entire Agreement.
The provisions contained in this Agreement and MarketPlace Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes and merges all prior proposals, understandings and all other agreements, oral and written, between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, with the exception of any pre-existing xTuple Partner Program Agreement.

Nov. 6, 2004
Endicott Sports Information
BEVERLY, Mass. - The Gulls wrapped up their 2004 season by overpowering MIT, 47-17. With the win, Endicott finished in second place in the NEFC Boyd Division. It also capped the program's first winning season, as the Gulls were 4-5 last year in their first varsity season.
The Gulls' offense struck almost immediately. Twelve seconds into the first quarter Endicott recovered an MIT fumble. On the same possession, Jeff Trinque rushed two yards for a touchdown to give Endicott the early lead. Just a few minutes later, Endicott recovered another MIT fumble, and once again scored on the ensuing possession; this time, via Kevin Samaha's 17-yard reception from quarterback Vinny Orlando.
MIT scored the first points of the second quarter on Matt Ramirez's 21-yard field goal. Tech's first score was answered with three Endicott touchdowns in the same quarter. Gerard Festa scored after another recovered MIT, while Tim Boyd punched in a two-yard touchdown run. Finally, Trinque capped off the first half scoring with a 19-yard touchdown run.
Festa and Matt Thompson each added touchdowns in the third quarter to increase the lead to 47-3. At 9:13 in the third quarter, TJ Sawyer blocked an MIT punt that led to Festa's touchdown on the following play. MIT would not go out quietly, scoring its first touchdown of the game in the fourth quarter off a Thomas Scotton run. One minute later, the Engineers struck again when quarterback Phil Deutsch's 30-yard pass found Warren Chia in the end zone.
Festa led the Gulls offense with 134 rushing yards. Justin Garland anchored the defense with six total tackles, one of which was for loss. Garland also had a forced fumble and recovered one as well. Kevin Yurkewich paced the MIT defense with eight solo stops, ending his junior season as the Conference leader in total tackles. The Gulls were not forced to punt at all in the game.
Playing their final collegiate football games for MIT were seniors Warren Chia, Phil Deutsch, Richard Park, Michael Terry, Tanis Fidelholtz, Mark Boudreau, Ben Povlich, Spencer Cross, Matthew Krueger and Cody Patrick. After opening the season with two straight victories, MIT closes the season at 2-7 overall.

The last Marquette poll, which had Walker leading Barrett by one thin point, made me want to drink whiskey in the daytime. This one makes me want to drink champagne. Yesterday's dKos/PPP poll had nearly identical numbers so it's safe to say this really is the state of the race in Wisconsin at this moment.
I can't believe I'm asking this, but are we headed for a Scott Walker landslide?
Republicans are more likely to say they are "absolutely certain" to vote on June 5, at 91 percent, than are Democrats and independents, both at 83 percent. In other areas of participation, Republicans also have an advantage. Sixty-two percent of Republicans say that they have tried to persuade someone to vote for or against a candidate, compared to 54 percent among Democrats and 48 percent among independents…
Another indication of Republican mobilization is a shift in the balance of Republican and Democratic partisanship over the past several months among all registered voters. In January there were two percentage points more Democrats than Republicans in the poll. That rose to eight points in February but has since declined to six points in March, three points in April and now just one point in May. When independents are asked if they feel closer to a party, the balance tips to a one-point Republican advantage in the May data. Such changes might be due to random variation from sample to sample, as the month-to-month changes are not large. However, polling by the Democratic polling firm, Public Policy Polling, finds a similar trend…
Collective bargaining continues to divide the electorate by single digits. Voters prefer to keep the current collective bargaining law rather than return to what it was prior to last year, by a 50-43 percentage point margin. Restoring collective bargaining is supported by 78 percent of Democrats and opposed by 81 percent of Republicans. Among independents, 53 percent want to keep the current law while 38 percent want to return to the previous law.
Last month Walker's approval rating was 47/51. This month it's 50/46. Some of that's due to the good news on jobs in his first year in office and some of it's surely due to Walker tapping his enormous war chest for the recall effort. But judging from that amazing split among indies on the collective bargaining law, Walker's message that it's been a net plus for the state has apparently penetrated. Back when the Madison protests were raging, I think big labor's dream was to turn the Walker recall election into a referendum on public-employee unions. Then they got some unwelcome facts about the new law and clammed up about it, but it looks like they're getting their referendum anyway. Hope they enjoy the results.
I don't know what to make of that trend towards the GOP among the Wisconsin electorate generally, though. Two possibilities. One: Could be that the uptick in Republican identification is being driven partly by the presidential primaries that began in January and rolled on until April. Some of the anti-Obama rhetoric from Romney, Santorum, Gingrich et al. may have nudged fencesitters into the Republican column while O's sat mostly silent on the sidelines. Two: Note that Democratic identification surged in February, shortly after Democrats announced they had the signatures needed to force a recall election. Maybe that woke up tepid Republicans and fencesitters to the possibility that Walker really might be removed and that labor would treat that as an epochal victory proving the righteousness of PEUs, resulting in a sustained pro-GOP backlash. Or, maybe this is all just the product of standard political forces at work. Walker's spent a bunch of money to make his case and the national economy under The One continues to reek, so undecideds are reacting predictably. No wonder the DNC has apparently thrown in the towel.
All Romney needs to do now is figure out how to keep that GOP enthusiasm going and he can force O to spend a bunch of money on a state the Democrats never expected they'd need to protect. Speaking of which, Mitt's favorable rating is now up to 40/44 from 33/46 in April, which was to be expected as hard feelings among Santorum and Gingrich fans after the bitter GOP primary start to soften. Obama will spend the next six months trying to knock it back down again. Quick, media — more stories about bullying that happened 50 years ago, stat.

In Which We Recall It At A Moment's Notice
The New York Review of Hooks Vol. 6
by BRITTANY JULIOUS
Party Girl breaks through every few years because it has to. Whether it is Parker Posey's perfect humor, the fashion, or the snapshot of a forgotten New York, the film continues to impact new audiences for its perfect combination of the outdated and the timeless. In the end, the movie is a coming of age story about a twenty-something woman in a big city, a plot that is straightforward and always memorable. But for many fans, the music is what is most memorable.
Earlier this month Peace Biscuit re-released the film's soundtrack as a free download. Listening to the two volumes was a pleasurable representation of the eclecticism and charms of the film, but what has always stuck out in my mind was a scene toward the latter half of the film in which Mary (Parker Posey) organized Leo's (Guillermo Diaz) 1000+ record collection using the Dewey Decimal system. After a momentary fit of anger, Mary helps Leo find the records he needs to use for his set at Renee's, the "hottest" club in the city. In a classic moment of music fandom, Leo begins to shoot off names that were, have become, and continue to be legends: Grace Jones, Tom Tom Club, Parliament, Madonna, Erik B. & Rakim. It is not just the way that Leo recites the list. It is the fact that he has one and that he can recite it so quickly. Like any true music fan, what he needs at any given moment can be recalled at a moment's notice.
"& It Was U" - How to Dress Well (mp3)
"Set It Right" - How to Dress Well (mp3)
How to Dress Well gave the performance of his career and I missed it. His live performance was even more profound than his latest album, Total Loss, as audiences were able to understand and witness the layers of change and death that proved invaluable in the creation of this latest record. Or so I heard. I don't doubt the claims. I only wish to have been there during this show, on the South Side of Chicago, in mid-December, in order to be immersed in a sound that already sounds extravagant and lovely through tinny speakers.
In interviews musician Tom Krell described the music for this album as a reaction to immense loss in his own life. It was, "dealing with the initial shock, anger, misery and pain, then working it through in my music." This pain is present, heavy, and soul-shattering. The first time I began to listen to the record, I had to stop not because I could definitely relate to his pain, but because it sounded so direct and impenetrable. Total Loss sounds like an intrusion on Krell's mind, his tears, and his anger. And yet, it is because of the rawness of the record that it is so powerful and damn good.
"Set it Right" in particular is a stand-out track. It's brutal both in lyricism and instrumentation. Compared to lighter, lovelier-sounding tracks such as "& It Was U" or "Running Back," "Set it Back" is direct in it's yearning. Krell sings about the people he misses – friends, loves – and the desperation is palpable. In that sense, we have been there. We have all been there.
"London" - Ofei (mp3)
In recent months, this sort of musical earnestness has become the norm for a variety of musicians of different levels of popularity. In particular, I'm thinking of musicians Oppaa, Mmoths and Ofei. All three released songs that have elements that sound as if the songs were created in tandem with each other. Oppaa's "N'questia," is a step forward from an earlier single he (W.B. Allen) released nearly a year ago. Built on rich samples, a steady beat, and vocals that highlight a smooth melody, "N'questia" sounds immediately familiar and comforting. It's the sort of song that is pleasant and sophisticated. In contrast, Ofei's "London" sounds bare and stark, but still packs an emotional punch. Likewise, in producer Mmoths' new single, "For Her" featuring vocalist Young & Sick, the rhythm is steady. The melody is crisp. The lyrics are mournful. If you are a young man looking to talk about your feelings, now is as good of a time as ever.
Earlier this week, when the temperature dropped to near zero in Chicago, I tweeted "Kate Bush Weather" because I knew instinctively what was needed to complement the brutal weather. There is not an iciness, but an isolation in Bush's music that seems right for the brutality of winter. It's just right for both hours spent at home in hibernation and also for those quick jaunts on near-abandoned streets and roads. I don't know if her music would work as well during this time in a heated car. Walking alone, facing the elements head on, her work seems just right.
"Billions" - JoJo (mp3)
"Thinking Out Loud" - JoJo (mp3)
While not as openly and directly earnest as the musicians mentioned earlier, JoJo's new mixtape, Agape, is driven by a desire to create music that speaks to her various influences and cultural background. JoJo is a Boston girl and she slips in bits and pieces of her hometown and heritage through skits that sound taken from the back of a local local pub. More importantly, on songs such as "Take the Canyon" and "Billions," JoJo gets to focus on what made her such a compelling pop star in the first place: her strong, soulful vocals.
Last year, The FADER suggested that Craig David was "having a moment." Even before the perfect remixes by Ryan Hemsworth and Sango of his early single, "Fill Me In," the past stylistic choices of David's music was evident in singles by Disclosure and Bondax. When I mention David's stylistic choices, what I mean is the way in which he combined elements of the underground with the mainstream to create an effect that was immediately charismatic and memorable. Besides emerging crossover artists, other more established mainstream acts such as Usher broke through again to radio listeners who perhaps don't listen to the radio. Last year's "Climax" was a testament to restraint and perhaps a precursor to the latter half of 2012 and music in 2013.
"Nuclear" - Destiny's Child (mp3)
"Suit & Tie" - Justin Timberlake (mp3)
There was not a lot to love on the surface when listening to Justin Timberlake's new single. It wasn't just that it sounded different than anything else out now. It sounded old. It sounded lost. I listened to 2006's FutureSex/LoveSounds in anticipation of the song and was thoroughly disappointed by the contrast in production. Although his last album and new single featured the same producer, Timbaland, what was missing was the great push forward toward the future of music. FutureSex/LoveSounds anticipated the synths of the past five years, but did so in a manner that made the record an instant classic. Production was both heavy and created with a light touch. It was never dance music to have dance music. It was never maximalistic production just for maximalism. However, although "Suit & Tie," Timberlake's new single is not as immediately show-y as "Sexy Back," it can grow on the listener. It has a welcome loveliness that will make the chorus turn into something of an ear worm.
The new Destiny's Child single, in contrast, does not build or grow on the listener. It's interesting to see that both performers of the last decade also chose producers of the last decade. Changes in mainstream musical direction feel much more fluid, but listening to the new singles demonstrates how quickly music has turned direction. Both "Suit & Tie" and "Nuclear" sound outdated and of a different era.
Although this potentially stifles any hope for a true Destiny's Child reunion, for Justin Timberlake as a solo artist, it could at once be a push in the direction of something different for the mainstream. Like the suggestion that Craig David is having a moment, mainstream music is in a moment of flux, open to changes that can occur with a strong push in one direction versus the other. The mellow, loving, sweetness of "Suit & Tie," could help turn this tide. 2012 saw a greater appreciation for music that sounded calmer, more collected, and less hurried through the likes of Frank Ocean, Miguel and Solange. Although the last couple of years have produced a handful of dancefloor gems, it has also suffered in repetitiveness and homogeneity. A 180 can only be a good thing.

Transfer students
How to transfer VA education benefits to UAF
Students with remaining eligibility can transfer benefits to UAF after having used a portion of their benefits at another school, including UAA or UAS. Students may only have one home institution. Students may, however, take classes at multiple campuses and receive benefits for those classes as long as they count toward their degree at the home institution.
- Apply for admission to the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The VA requires that students apply to an approved program in order to receive benefits. You can use your VA benefits for no more than two semesters before completing your admission status and becoming formally admitted into the program.
- Register for classes. Remember, only the courses that are applicable to your degree
program can be certified for VA benefits. You should work with an academic advisor
and refer to Degree Works to confirm that courses are applicable to your program.
Useful links:
- Submit all previous academic transcripts to the Admissions office. If you are former military, you must apply your Military Transfer Credit to your degree program
- Complete the following forms and send the CRF to the Department of Military and Veteran Services: Certification Request form (Docusign) (PDF)and VA Change Form (PDF). Requests are processed within 7-10 business days.
- We do not require a copy of your Certificate of Eligibility in order to begin your benefits, however this document, a DD214 or a copy of a military ID and the Application for Resident Tuition Assessment are needed to grant you residency (in-state tuition) as a military/veteran student.
- Maximize all sources of funding by completing a FAFSA application and UAF Scholarship application. Don't forget to check out the scholarships you might be eligible for on our Veterans' Services scholarship page as well.
- Check your UAF email address frequently. Confirmation of certifications, issues with course certifications, newsletters, and other important, time sensitive information will be sent to your e-mail address only.
- Stay involved! Connect to us on Facebook, or Veteran Services on Blackboard.

From my experience of researching my wonderful family's history, I often get the most exciting information from unexpected places. Recently, my Mum and I were searching random phrases and old addresses on the internet. "Type in 13 York St, Forest Lodge," said Mum, remembering the address her first home as a child in Sydney. Her first few years of life were spent in this small terrace house in inner Sydney with her parents and her paternal grandparents, the Walters family. Apparently, her grandmother, Margaret Walters (nee Fleming) was known to spend most of her pension money on my Mum, her only grand-daughter at the time. This old lady would spend hours and hours looking after her small grand-daughter on the tiny front verandah of this terrace house.
Photo of the house in 2010
After typing in the old address where the Walters family lived from the late 1930s, we found a little snippet of information - it may not sound much to others but to us it was very touching. It was a notice on page 1 of the Sydney Morning Herald on Friday 30 December 1932. Obviously the family had been shopping at the David Jones store a few days before, probably in the city. They had found a purse in the store and took the trouble to put an advertisement in the paper in an attempt to reunite the purse with its owner.
Mum and I both smiled when we found this tiny treasure in the form of a newspaper clipping. "So, they were honest!" It's funny how a small discovery like this can extend your understanding of people who are long gone. Their deeds live on in many ways. Of course, we'll never know if the owners ever contacted the Walters family to claim their lost purse but what we do know is that the Walters family took the trouble to attempt to find the owners.
Margaret (nee Fleming) and John Walters lived at 13 Forest Lodge from about 1909 until the late 1930s. Margaret was known to walk to the tram station to meet her husband on his way home from work and they would walk back home, hand-in-hand, to 13 York St, Forest Lodge, like a couple of sweethearts. They were my mother's father's parents, my great-grandparents.

Carpets are a valuable asset and a more valuable investment. How can you keep them absolutely clean and utterly healthy so that your loved ones could play safely on them? Some might suggest homely methods and it has been found that professional carpet cleaning is required to keep bacteria, germs, and pollutants at an arm's length from your property.
You should get your carpets cleaned at regular intervals because:
- Carpets get dirty over a period of time and it becomes difficult to clean them thoroughly.
- Apart from dirt and soil, carpets also consist of virus, bacteria, germ, dust mites, allergens and all sorts of pollutants. All these contaminants find your dirty carpet conducive to their growth and hence they make it their home.
- Such contaminants residing in your carpets can cause serious health issues to you and your loved ones. And these could lead to unwanted situations in the workplace too.
- Dirty carpets often lose their softness.
- Dirty carpets lose their brightness and luster.
- Carpets that are not cleaned regularly have a rather short span of life.
- Apart from the regular dirt catching up in the carpets, there are occasions when you spill something or the other on your precious carpet and try hard to get rid of those stains. But some stains do not go away with home methods.

Hilton pitches 1-hitter for Bulldogs in win over Cougars
McKenzie Hilton and the Morenci High School softball team got off to a strong start.
The junior pitched a one-hit shutout, and the Bulldogs capitalized on their chances for a 15-0 victory over the reborn Lenawee Christian Cougars in the season opener for both teams Wednesday at Kay Johnson Field.
Morenci plated seven runs over the first three innings, then tacked on eight more in the bottom of the fourth to force the mercy rule. Meanwhile, Hilton recorded eight strikeouts and held Lenawee Christian to one hit and three baserunners for the game. Defensively, the Bulldogs did not commit an error.
"Monday and Tuesday were the only days we've been outside, and it's tough to gauge where we're at," Morenci coach Kay Johnson said. "We didn't hit like we wanted, but McKenzie did a nice job in the circle, and defensively we made plays. Doing the little things were big pluses for us today."
Lenawee Christian played its first game since 2012. The program folded last year due to low numbers, but was reinstated this spring after increased interest and a successful student-run petition.
"We're excited to have softball back at Lenawee Christian," LCS coach and athletic director Jeff Aumend said. "We are a work in progress, but I have a hungry group that wants to learn."
Hilton struck out six of the first seven batters she faced, and the Bulldogs took advantage of walks and two errors to plate three runs in the bottom of the first inning. Darian Double scored on a fielding error, then Sydney Weeks delivered a two-RBI single to score Julie Terry and Lindy Mynhier, making it 3-0.
After Hilton struck out the side in the top of the second, Morenci added to its lead. Double scored on a passed ball, then Terry came home on Alli VanBrandt's RBI double.
"We graduated five starters from last year, and we're filling positions," Johnson said. "We started a couple freshmen, and they will gain more experience. I was glad to see us do the little things, which is what you want for a first game."
Olivia Chittenden gave the Cougars a baserunner after getting hit by a pitch in the top of the third, but Hilton came back with consecutive strikeouts to get out of the inning. Morenci plated two runs in the bottom of the frame, as Mikayla Price scored on a wild pitch and Terry's RBI single scored Double.
Kiara Nieto broke up Hilton's no-hitter in the top of the fourth, but the junior shut the door after that.
"McKenzie got ahead of batters, which allowed her to work on different pitches," Johnson said. "We did a good job getting bunts down, but we'll need to hit more line drives than we did tonight."
The Bulldogs put the game away with their eight-run fourth inning. Emily Schmidt and Mynhier delivered RBI singles, while Chloe Moliterno, Madison Bachman and Mynhier scored on fielder's choices. Schmidt plated a run on a wild pitch and Terry also plated a run. Cheyenne Sands came home on a bases-loaded walk to end the game.
"Morenci is a tough opener, because of they have a good tradition and they play with confidence," Aumend said. "First-game jitters are common, but now that we have a game in we can apply the things we do well in practice into game situations. We fell short with that today."
Hilton finished with eight strikeouts for the win. Weeks had two hits, two RBIs and a run for Morenci, while Double and Terry both had a hit, an RBI and three runs scored.
Hannah Iott took the pitching loss for LCS, allowing seven runs (five earned) on five hits while striking out two and walking six.
"Hannah did a good job for being a freshman pitcher," Aumend said. "She battled and got us out of some trouble early on."

SIFE team to honor three at Women in Business Banquet
PLAINVIEW – The Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) team at Wayland Baptist University will honor three Plainview ladies at their second annual Women in Business Event, slated Aug. 30 at 6:30 p.m. in the McClung University Center.
This year's event is a full banquet with a buffet dinner and will feature Carolyn Baker, executive vice president at Hale County State Bank and this year's Chamber of Commerce president, as keynote speaker.
The highlight of the evening is the presentation of the Women in Business awards, and three longtime local residents will be honored this year. Honorees include Jan Alford, owner of State Farm Insurance agency; Sandra Aven, publisher of the Plainview Daily Herald; and Dr. Ruth Rector-Wright, longtime family practitioner with Wright Family Practice.
SIFE is an international student organization dedicated to six major principles: ethics, market economics, free enterprise, financial literacy, entrepreneurship and sustainability. The Women in Business event is a way to tie their core principles with the community and honor hard work.
"We recognize that women contribute a lot to the area, the state and even the nation, and they really have since they went to work during World War II," said Sam Van Hoose, Sam Walton Fellow and SIFE sponsor. "If women left business, our economy would fail, I believe. Because they give so much, we want to recognize them."
Tickets for the banquet are $15 per person and may be purchased from the WBU Division of Business office in the Nunn Business Building. The event is open to the public and tickets can be purchased through Aug. 27. For information on obtaining tickets, call the division at 291-1020.
In the future, Van Hoose noted that SIFE is considered moving the Women in Business event to the late spring and opening the awards up for nominations from the community. Currently, honorees are chosen from nominations within the WBU community and include women who have been particularly supportive of the university and the SIFE program.
The event is funded in part by a grant from worldwide banking organization HSBC, garnered through SIFE international. It is one of many programs the SIFE team conducts annually to promote financial literacy among students and adults as well as business skills.

Unless the North Carolina legislature acts immediately, the U.S. Navy will begin to seize private property in Beaufort and Washington counties to build an outlying landing field (OLF).
Under the current plan, the Navy will acquire 32,000 acres of prime farmland owned by families whom have farmed their fields for generations. Many citizens, the majority of whom are seniors, will lose their generational homes.
Send an Email to Your State Senator and Rep.
The government already controls enough land-- North Carolina needs to tell the federal government to stop. That can only happen if 3/5 of the state Senate and House request an emergency special session. If we wait until the legislature normally convenes in May, it will be too late. Help protect these property owners and take action now!

If you would like to help this effort, please call the CSE Hotline Toll Free at 1-888-564-6273 to be connected with your elected officials. You can also call the legislature directly at 919-733-4111.
Thanks for taking action to protect North Carolina private property rights!
