Kingston High students face possible stiffer penalties for leaving school grounds (video)
KINGSTON, N.Y. — Kingston High School's Jefferson Committee on Tuesday unanimously endorsed a proposal to more severely punish students who leave school grounds without permission during the school day.
The change to the Jefferson Code of Conduct, if adopted by the school board, would create a Level 3 offense for students who make a "willful and deliberate attempt to leave campus" during the school day, Vice Principal Andrew Sheber told the committee, which comprises a dozen students and about another dozen school officials, teachers and other adults.
The highest level of offenses, Level 4, includes drug offenses, bomb threats and assaults.
High school Principal Adrian Manuel said students currently caught leaving the Broadway campus in Midtown Kingston are punished under the Level 2 offense of insubordination, which has a range of consequences, including verbal reprimands and up to five days detention.
"I think that's problematic, because kids don't see it as a serious thing," said Manuel.
Students can be suspended up to five days if they commit a Level 3 offense, on the other hand, which would put leaving campus in the same category as offenses like lewd or sexual behavior, reckless endangerment, vandalism, and "confrontations involving physical contact."
Manuel and other school administrators said the safety of students is the responsibility of the district when youths are under the care of the high school.
Possible trouble students could get into off campus listed by Manuel include smoking, doing drugs or committing crimes.
"We want kids in the building," Manuel said. "We want them to be safe." Continued...
The principal said students attempting to leave campus is a problem he feels like he encounters on a daily basis.
School leaders restricted the ability of students to leave campus for lunch starting in the 2008-09 school year, but since then have allowed juniors and seniors to earn the right to leave with good behavior and academic performance. "Now we have other kids that are trying to get out," Manuel said.
School board member Maureen Bowers wondered how high school officials will define an "attempt" to leave campus and expressed concern about even enforcement of the proposed new rule.
Richard Ballezza, the district's director of safety and prevention, responded that it is obvious when students are attempting to leave campus.
Kimberly Kresser, a high school junior who serves on the Jefferson Committee, acknowledged "there are a lot of kids that walk off."
She said making the punishment for leaving school grounds "less of a smack on the hand" and keeping her peers safe and focused on school is a good idea.
Kresser also described Broadway as "a scary place."
Deirdre Branford, the social studies teacher who chairs the Jefferson Committee, said the proposed change now will go to parent, faculty, and student groups for approval, then to the school board, which must hold a public hearing before adopting it.

When it comes to dressing for the holidays I tend to be a no thrills or frill type of guy. I leave that for the rest of the year when I'm not cooped up in the burbs. I am however loving the weather this season because I can still mix all my prints, patterns, and textures without bundling up underneath a heavy coat.
A look like this is perfect for anywhere you're going this Christmas Eve whether it be a family gathering, dinner, church, a party, or even ordering Chinese food while you watch holiday specials on TV. (I'll most likely be doing the latter.)

- Another good product! Review by Sahrish
Quality Price Value I got this concealer as a PR sample to review on my blog. I got the shade Natural which matched my skin tone perfectly but since it had two shades with two different undertones, I ended up using only the lighter one. This is a good concealer for those who have really dark circle problem. The darker one with can be used to lighten up the circles and the lighter one can then be used to conceal them nicely. I have used this on models from dry to oily skin types and it helped me to achieve a good shade by mixing these two together. This is also a really highly pigmented concealer and stays for long hours even during the shoots. The only problem that I faced was creasing under eyes even after setting it with a powder. That only happens if I sweat and I live in a hot country so this is not my most favorite concealer but still, it is good for occasional use.
I wish your concealers come in more shades though.(Posted on 3/10/13)
- Love it! Review by Andrea
Quality Price Value I'm a teacher and well we are always tired! This is the only concealer that through out the day stays in place and actually covers up my dark spots under my eye along with acne scars. I love it!

- Not the return policy I want. Product very drying................. Review by Cindy
Price Value Quality I have been a long time Jane Iredale user. I was out of concealer and needed it fast because I was on my way to the airport. So I went to a store where I buy shampoo. When I used the product it was felt very drying and I had bought the color also. I took the product back to the store and was told Glo could not be returned. Jane Iredale has a much better product and can be retrurned. Jane backs her product up. ***A note from glo: Hello Cindy, thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're sorry to hear you were dissatisfied with the product and your in-store experience. We'd love a chance to make it right. E-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com with details and referencing this review and we'll see what we can do. Thanks Cindy!

text: The dancers are the final group trained by Cunningham; they include understudies to whom he gave special attention. Cunningham liked to concentrate on the newest dancers; after that he would often seem scarcely to notice them for several years, and they had to learn how to dance not for his approval but to fulfill themselves. His death has placed the entire company in that situation; some members have spoken of how they are still trying to work on directives he gave them. It will be fascinating to see them tackle other revivals, but Nearly 902 shows them in closest communion with the master.

In his very first publication, Herblock Looks at Communism, political cartoonist Herbert L. Block (1909–2001) warned the world of the dangers of government tyranny and limited free speech. This selection of cartoons from 1951 shows how Herblock continued to focus on countries ruled by the Communist Party, including North Korea, China, and the Soviet Union. He used a range of visual metaphors including the Asian tiger and the dragon as well as dismal swamps and an abyss to drive home his concerns.
The Korean War began in 1950 when the Chinese Army marched across the 38th parallel that had divided North Korea from South Korea after World War II. In 1951, General Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964) advocated bombing and full-scale war with China. President Harry Truman (1884–1972) disagreed and recalled MacArthur to the United States. Herblock did not approve of Mao Zedong (1893–1976) and the Communist Party ruling in China, but he also felt that demands for economic assistance from the ousted leader Chiang Kai-shek (1887–1975) were unwarranted and diverted aid from other pressing world needs.

A Pontiac 16-year-old charged with killing his father has been given a second chance at life as a free man after being sentenced as a juvenile Wednesday.
James Kincaid pleaded guilty to manslaughter last month in the death of his father, Leo Stewart. Kincaid was accused of stabbing Stewart in the leg on March 30 at their Pontiac home.
The stabbing severed Stewart's femoral artery, which caused his death.
"Another inch either way and we'd be in a much different position right now," Oakland County Circuit Judge James Alexander said while handing down the sentence.
Watch a report on the sentencing of James Kincaid during today's News at Noon.
Kincaid was appreciative of the sentencing agreement, which makes him a ward of the state and part of the state's Department of Human Services system until his 19th birthday.
"Thank you for giving me a second chance," Kincaid, who recently turned 16, told Alexander shortly before the sentence was handed down.
Prosecutors initially charged Kincaid with second-degree murder. He was charged as an adult at that time in order to properly deal with his mental health issues, officials said.
Kincaid also thanked his family, who turned out in large numbers to support him.
"My brother was a good man, a great son, brother and father; I know he would want his son to have a second chance at life," said Yvette Stewart, Kincaid's aunt.
"James loves his father and this was a horrible accident that took two people from us — one we will never forget, and another who needs our love and support."
Alexander praised the family's support of Kincaid while addressing the court.
"There are two victims in this case — your father, obviously, and you," Alexander told Kincaid.
"What you did was terrible. It can't be changed. Your father was trying to look out for you and your emotions got the best of you. The best we can do right now is try to put you on a path that — while you'll never forget this — will make you a productive citizen."
Alexander said to sentence Kincaid as an adult "would be nothing other than to give you a higher education in crime, and I'm not prepared to do that."
Kincaid's attorney, Steven Lynch, also praised the family's support.
"It's up to him at this point," Lynch said. "Something good has to come of this, and hopefully it will."
Lynch said Kincaid needs a structured environment.
"If what he's been doing in (Oakland County) Children's Village is any indication, he will succeed," Lynch said.
After court was adjourned, Lynch shared his thoughts on the sentence.
"Today, the judge saw there was some good in James and decided to sentence him as a juvenile," he said.
"This gives him a chance to get some intensive counseling and training, and an education, and hopefully he can become a productive member of society so maybe something good can actually come of this.
"He's been doing very well in the program that he's been in. As he proceeds to a state program now obviously the hope and the belief is that he will continue to excel."

Southwestern Comm. Col. - North Carolina Reviews

Daniel from Bryson City, NC
01/04/2010Reviewer is A current student here.
1 out of 1 people found this review useful. 1 of 8
Categories Comments Great for these types of students This school is great for local students who like environments where they are free to receive one on one help with their teachers, get a good education and save some money by attending a quality school for a bargain.
Tips for prospective students First off, come in ready to work. Though you may be under the impression that school will be easy since it is not a four year university, you will have a good amount of work to do. It is challenging but most defiantly rewarding. If you are planning transferring with an Associate of Arts major, I would recommend you take at least thirteen to fifteen hours each semester so that at the end of your second year your not having to load up on extra hours and possibly over work your self.
Bang for the buck This is where Southwestern Community College excels the most. This school is very affordable, with in-state tuition being about $50 per credit hour. The books are on the expensive side, but this is the case with any school you go to. Once you have 16 credit hours you are no longer charged for extra hours, so if you have the time to take a bigger load of classes your saving yourself a substantial amount of money.
Am enjoying being here I enjoy being at Southwestern Community College a lot. With the big age difference in students there, you can always find plenty of new and interesting people to talk to. There are only a few buildings which are located close to each other, so it is easy to find your way around if your new to the school. It is an overall good environment and most of the teachers do a great job in both teaching you the material as well as providing a good, qualitative learning area.
Am learning a lot Going to Southwestern Community College has increased my knowledge on a lot of things. Although many people tend to write off community colleges as being a tier below a four year university, this school really does a good job in teaching you your needed curriculum. Since the class sizes usually tend to be below thirty people per class, teachers are always willing and able to spend one on one time with you and help you if your having trouble with something. There is a learning assistance center which has people who specialize in certain areas of work, so they provide all the help you can ask for. I can honestly say that even though I was an honors student in high school, I learned more in my first year of Southwestern Community College than I did all of my high school.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students This is excellent fo someone just starting out in college or returning after a long time away.

Dorm Life This is a community college so no on-campus housing.
Academic Rigor I haven't started classes yet but the staff stays in constant communication with their students. The class sizes are small so you get very individualized attention.
Tips for prospective students Having a vehicle will be very beneficial as the area is fairly spread out and public transit is practically non-existent.
In three sentences It is a beautiful and easy to find campus in one of the best areas of the country. The staff has been incredibly helpful to me, as a first time student, with everything from finding classes and financial aid. It is easy to see why they are ranked as one of the Top 10 community colleges in the US.

Soon, Little Sal stumbles onto following mother bear and Little Bear is following Sal's mother. Eventually, the mothers discover the mistake, back away in shyness from the other's child, and look for their own offspring. Along the way, the children run into bird mothers and their families as well. Everyone goes home with the correct mother, and the last drawing has Little Sal with her mother in an old-fashioned kitchen with a wood stove working on the preserves.
The story is gently and beautifully told, and wonderfully complemented by the illustrations (also drawn by Mr. McClosky).
It is a good introduction for children to the way that all human and animal families work, the need to prepare for the future, and that one has to pay attention to where one is going. It will also interest them in blueberry picking, which is a wonderful family occupation. It is also very heart-warming the way Mr. McClosky has taken the potential fright out of a situation where a child has wandered off and run into a mother bear. The child can draw her or his own lesson that they would not want that to happen to them, rather than having the story provide terror.
Mr. McClosky has expressed a benign but significant role to nature that will serve families well.

PEW research reported that 17% of mobile phone users are using their devices to look up health and medical information. Juniper estimated that 44 million health apps were downloaded in 2011. The increasing popularity of health and medical apps are due in part to the wearable, portable and user-friendly devices using smart sensors that can capture and transmit a variety of biometric data.
Research2guidance recently released a report, which found that the mobile health app market saw a 7 fold increase in total revenues in 2011 to a total of $718 million. No doubt this technology is everywhere and becoming increasing popular as a tool to use in clinics, bedside and at home. Below is a glance at some of the more interesting apps available.
eyeTestsFree (Free) by George Kong Softwares This is a free app that allows testing of visual acuity, near reading vision, macular function and color vision. This app requires Wi-Fi only. This app can be used by patients to easily monitor their own eye conditions. It also helps eye care clinicians in testing and recording visual acuity using letters or tumbling E's, color deficiency and macular function. Patients can then email their results to themselves or to their clinician.
cataractSurgery(Free) by George Kong softwares This is an interesting app that is a simulation/game of cataract surgery to test a physician's hand-eye coordination. You can tear the membrane flap of the capsulorhexis with your finger or forceps to form a perfectly round opening for starting cataract surgery. The aim of the game is to prevent the membrane from tearing out to the side, while maintaining a round tear path. You get a score on how closely you reach the target and your procedure can be timed. The size of the pupil and the density the lens are adjustable. The second part of the simulation is using your fingers to control a virtual ultrasound probe to phaco a lens. You can control the position and angle of the probe by sliding your fingers. The aim is to phaco the lens into quadrants by following the guidelines and rotating the lens. Density of the lens and capsulorhexis size are adjustable. This app is a virtual reality simulator/game and is not intended for cataract surgery training!
OCT Browser (Free) from the University of Pittsburgh This app addresses one of the problems encountered with compiling 3D OCT images through direct manipulation of images, which can be time consuming. Now, 3D OCT images can be converted to an iPad friendly portable format and delivered to your iPad in less than a minute after the technicians is finished scanning your patient. This app is designed by physicians for physicians and is a fully functional software and part of the university's OCY Browser Software Suite. It is a free app.
Retina Atlas HD ($30.99) by Medina Systems This is an interactive digital atlas of retinal diseases that contains over 2500 high-resolution digital retinal images including color photos, ICG and fluorescein retinal angiograms, autofluorescence and optical coherence tomograms of retinal diseases. The cases are arranged alphabetically by diagnosis, with images in each case ordered sequentially from color, red free to angiograms and OCT. Each specific diagnosis is linked to PubMed, allowing the user to search the latest peer-reviewed literature from within the application. These images can be enlarged to show detail and can be used for lectures, clinical instruction and patient counseling. The atlas also includes a collection of the best cases presented at the "Angiogram Meeting" at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital in Melbourne, Australia.
Clinical Ophthalmology: A Synopsis ($84.99) by Elsevier, Inc. Kanski's legendary clinical images and guidance can help eye care specialists identify and mange virtually any common ophthalmic disorder. This app is a mobile edition of Kanski's bestselling resource, featuring more than 1200 clinical images with pinch and zoom functionality.
Skin Scan - The Most Accurate Skin Cancer Detector on iPhone ($4.99) by Skin Scan This app uses a proprietary mathematical algorithm to calculate the fractal dimension of a mole and surrounding skin. It then builds a structural map that reveals the different growth patterns of the tissues involved. Skin Scan then processes this map to see if a mole has an abnormal development and alerts the user if a medical visit is required. The app classifies moles into 3 categories: high risk, medium risk and low risk. This app works by holding your device about 15 to 20 cm from the mole and taking a picture. Using 2 fingers, move and scale to fit as much of the mole inside the red control square. Press the Use button and the result will appear in a couple of seconds. You can archive the result in a case to track its development.
Most are available online. As an app, the American Journal of Ophthalmology is available as a free trial after which a subscription is required. The official journal of the AAO, Ophthalmology, is also available from Elsevier, Inc. Like AJO, there is a free trial period.
Sight Selector Lite (Free) by Patient Education Concepts, Inc. This app can be used by eye care professionals to help demonstrate various eye diseases and treatments to their patients. This app gives access to over 50 patient education topics grouped into 8 categories that can be purchased individually so that you can choose those most relevant to your practice. Anatomy of the eye is free, but the subspecialty categories range from $4.99 to $14.99.
visualFields easy (Free) by George Kong softwares This app can be used by patients for self-screening or by clinicians for a fast screening test in clinic or bedside. The testing only takes about 3 minutes per eye, 30 degrees from fixation horizontally and 24 degrees vertically can be tested. It tests about 24 points in all 4 quadrants.
There are various eye chart apps that can be downloaded to your iPad or iPhone to be used by patients or eye care specialists. Below are a few:
iSight Test ($10.99) by Kay Pictures Ltd This app can be used to test children as young as 18 months through adulthood.
Eye Chart Professional ($19.99) by Dok LLC This app can be used anywhere, by an eye care professional or patient.
Open Ophthalmology ($9.99) by Wizzard Media Open Ophthalmology is a meta-school in which lecturers from different departments have access to ophthalmology residents everywhere.
With all the advanced technology, there are advantages and disadvantages. Patients now have access to many medical tests at their fingertips, without having to actually step into a doctor's office. Many of these apps are terrific for patients to monitor their disease processes, which may lead them to seek medical attention earlier. The disadvantage will be when patients start relying on these technology-generated systems, rather than a human body trained by several years of education and hands on exposure. If a misdiagnosis is made with these apps, or the patient gets a false sense of security about their conditions, that may delay a visit to a physician and disease outcome may be altered. Paramount is patient education in the long run and letting patients know how far to go with these apps. On the other hand, many of these apps are fantastic tools for physicians to not only educate themselves on the fly, but to use for better patient communication.
The FDA plans to regulate mobile health products in an attempt to minimize danger with respect to privacy and physical treatment and diagnosis. No doubt it will become increasingly difficult to get approval for apps that comply with HIPAA and FDA guidelines. Enjoy the freedom now!

11-5A BOYS BASKETBALL: Patriots deliver message in convincing win over Rowlett
By DEVIN HASSON,
Published: Saturday, January 12, 2013 1:08 AM CST
Rowlett earned plenty of attention during its 14-0 start that landed them a spot in the Class 5A state poll.
The Eagles have carried that success over into 11-5A play, where they were 4-0.
But Lakeview has put together an impressive record of its own, including a matching 4-0 mark in district play.
The Patriots, who are just two years removed from a state runner-up finish, looked much like that 2011 team on Friday as they blasted Rowlett in a 76-50 victory.
Lakeview (20-5) takes over sole possession of first place in 11-5A at 5-0, dropping the Eagles to 17-3 overall and 4-1 in district.
The Patriots left little doubt from the start, opening the game with a 20-5 run. Rowlett tried to hang around, but could not shave anything off its deficit. Lakeview pushed the lead to 22 through three quarters and were able to relax in the fourth.
Jeffrey Carroll scored 23 points and Nathan Hawkins added 16, but no other Eagle player had more than four points.
In another big game on Friday, Naaman Forest moved ahead of Sachse for third place with a 50-42 victory.
The Rangers led by three early on, and then doubled up the Mustangs, 12-6, in the second quarter to take a 28-19 lead.
The second half was evenly played, but Sachse could not afford that, as it was unable to make enough of a charge.
A.J. Goss and Marlo Johnson each scored nine points for the Mustangs, while Marcus Hubbard and Josh Robertson had eight apiece.
With the loss, Sachse drops back into a tie for fourth place at 2-2 with Garland, who defeated North Garland on Friday.
The good news for the Mustangs is they have a good chance to move back ahead of the Owls on Tuesday, as while they play winless North Garland, Garland must face red-hot Lakeview.
Rowlett will have a chance to regroup after its first 11-5A loss with a bye on Tuesday.
Lakeview 4-0 20-5
Rowlett 4-1 17-3
Naaman Forest 3-2 8-16
Sachse 2-2 10-11
Garland 2-2 10-13
North Garland 0-4 5-12
South Garland 0-4 5-13
Friday's Results
Lakeview 76, Rowlett 50
Naaman Forest 50, Sachse 42
Garland 61, North Garland 44
South Garland, bye
Tuesday's Games
Sachse at North Garland
South Garland at Naaman Forest
Garland at Lakeview
Rowlett, bye

http://www.thinkcycle.com/about About ThinkCycle ThinkCycle is an academic, non-profit initiative engaged in supporting distributed collaboration towards design challenges among underserved communities and the environment. ThinkCycle seeks to create a culture of open-source design innovation, with ongoing collaboration among individuals, communities and organizations around the world. Why Open Source? Key Article: Cathedral and the Bazaar by Eric Raymond Software Movements: Free Software Movement and the Open Source Initiative Research: Open Source Research Community (MIT) How does one apply an Open Source approach to Hardware Products and Engineering Design? How can a global community of distributed domain experts and stakeholders collaborate towards evolving solutions to critical problem domains? That is the driving motivation behind the ThinkCycle Initiative. Approach At the heart of the community is an evolving database of reasonably well-posed problems and ongoing design solutions contributed by universities, Non-Govermental Organizations (NGOs), companies and the general public. The system is primarily aimed at, but in no way limited to, using the design and engineering skills of the students and researchers in universities worldwide. One scenario is for professors to assign challenges to their students, assist them in working collaboratively with communities and organizations in developing countries while encouraging peer review from domain experts of evolving design solutions archived on ThinkCycle. Motivated teams of students may also work on critical design challenges as independent study projects with their departments. The objective is to document all evolving design solutions, rationale, processes, peer reviews and contributions within a searchable and cross-referenced system. Distributed and shared intellecual property issues are approached by maintaining all contributions for individual projects on the system (more on this issue will be formalized soon, as we work closely with our current ThinkCycle design teams). Teachers and academics now have a resource for selecting interesting, applied problems while students gain experience in working on challenging real-world projects. Design teams can approach partner organizations for support in extending their work on the field and the development of subsequent products and services. NGOs, practitioners and researchers now have a resource for sharing problems and design challenges, while the general public benefit from open-source access to innovative design, and a new generation of individuals working on problems that matter for the environment and our communities. |

Zithali is a 50 minute seaplane ride away and when you check in at airport they dont tell you the rate of the seaplane transfers so upon check out i was... surprised to get a bill of more than a thousand dollars for two people just for the transfer flights. Overall the resort is pretty nice but we had cloudy days so could not really enjoy the beauty of the maldives. The resort is definitely not for kids - there is no kids play area. The food was good and the service is excellent however our water villa needed some maintenance work done and some of the stuff did not work properly such as complicated TV and Audio systems . The Internet in rooms was also poor. The prices overall are quite high but i guess this is how they make their money on all the extras . Zithali is defintely not a 5 star resort in my opinion. Would i come back ??? well i think not . Not because i dont like the place but because there is just so much choice in Maldives that one has to try something else. Overall though i think Maldives is just too expensive and there are much better cost effective places to go and get a bronzed tan 2011.12.26에 올려진 Hotels.com 회원님의 이용 후기

Combo-elastic sports flooring approved to FIBA LEVEL 1 standard, formed of two interlinked layers of phenolic plywood, screwed and glued together. The homogenous, calendered, pressed vinyl flooring MONDOSPORT is installed on the surface.
The underside of the Elastisport system features special patented elastic supports with a truncated cone design. The supports have the capacity to absorb even the most violent impact and revert to their original position thanks to the inner air chamber.
The elastic supports are fixed in place according to a special layout designed to ensure uniformity of response across the entire surface.
The Elastisport system has obtained the CE label and complies with European standard EN 14904, and the requirements of international sports federations.
Indoor sport wood flooring system is a natural product that is completely installed on site. Therefore installation conditions are important factors to achieve the best final results. Before starting the installation, the facility must be completely closed (windows and doors already installed) and perfectly dry. The environmental temperature during installation (day and night) must be over 15º C and relative humidity must be between 45% and 60%.
To properly maintain the sport wooden flooring system, the building must have an adequate air circulation and / or a ventilation system. Large windows, with direct sunlight over the wooden floor, must be covered. The same conditions as per installation apply. The environmental temperature (day and night) must be over 15º C at all times and relative humidity must be between 45% and 60%. The owner is responsible for ensuring these conditions by use of an environmental thermometer and a hygrometer for direct detection. The required conditions are indicated not only as desirable but as mandatory to be considered within the official warranty guidelines.
For regular and special cleaning and maintenance of MONDO wooden systems it must exclude the use of scrubbers, single disc-machines, water jet, vacuum with a revolving brush and / or so-called liquid solutions.

What is the main consideration in choosing a printer? Others are actually looking into the ink cartridges' expense when they choose a particular printer. The brand Epson is popular because it is affordable, including the ink or toner cartridges. And the good news is the Epson Ink Cartridges have a low-priced version which is called the compatible ink cartridges. This type of ink is designed to counter the expensive version of the ink, which is the genuine package. Although, the genuine is the dependable one when you are printing high definition colored prints like photos, posters and other marketing needs, but the generic type can also provide you with good-quality prints.
The savings that you can keep when you buy one ink cartridge is roughly around $3. When you buy the whole set, your savings can reach of up to $12, and you can still save more. This is what most online shops are offering these days; they are providing the best package for their clients looking for the cheaper alternative. The compatible ink is not only for Epson but to all other brands as well. For non-Epson users, you can as well shop for your ink cartridge online. These shops are here to provide you with one-stop shop so you can conveniently experience a seamless transaction.
With all the privileges that you can enjoy these days, shopping for the Epson ink cartridges is made very easy for you. This means that you can do other things than spending time looking for a dependable ink supplier. Since most online shops like Hot Toner are offering free delivery, when the total amount shopped is $50 and above, all you have to do is to wait for the items to arrive at your end. And to experience all of these, you need to look for an online supplier first after which you can simply place your order and wait.

I recently returned from Brazil, the world's sixth largest economy, where President Dilma Rousseff, a former Marxist revolutionary, is using pro-growth incentives such as lower interest rates, proposed tax cuts and infrastructure investment to fuel her nation's quest for sustained economic growth and help more Brazilians stand on their own two feet. That Rio will host the Global Entrepreneurship Congress in March 2013 is obviously important for Brazilians. It might be more important for the rest of world.
I have just returned today from a short visit to South Korea where I addressed an international conference and met with various universities both in Seoul and Daejeon Valley – described to me by locals as Korea's Silicon Valley.
Visitors arriving at Seoul's acclaimed airport can only be impressed by its sophisticated application of technology into everyday lives. The train I rode from Seoul to Daejoen cruised at 300 Kilometers per hour, every taxi in Seoul was clean and paid for with a back seat touchpad card reader and the urban planning seemed super smart with local government being placed in beautiful floating structures on the river and national government being moved altogether out of Seoul.
It is time to implement new methods to shake our economy out of this lingering spell of slow growth (a disappointing 2% rate) and high unemployment (hovering around 9%). And while the large federal budget deficit does not leave much room for implementing more traditional economic remedies, the Kauffman Foundation—at a press conference this morning here at the National Press Club in Washington, DC—suggested it is time for legislation. Startup legislation.
Today and tomorrow the Senate will vote on President Obama's announced deal to extend for two years all of the tax cuts, both those from the Bush years and those for low-income workers from last year's stimulus package. Under this proposal, recently expired benefits for the long-term unemployed would also be extended for another 13 months. In addition, the agreement would cut payroll taxes for one-year. What does all this mean for entrepreneurs?

Welcome to 2012 – a year which, without any official proclamation, will likely be an excellent year for entrepreneurs. In so many respects, advocates in 2011 for startups and entrepreneurs could not have done better in setting up 2012. Better data, more relevant policy and legislation, streamlined programming and more widespread public support should give all reason to be optimistic that more people will take a risk, unleash an idea and make a job. And we should expect even more new developments that will shape even better entrepreneurship ecosystems across the world.
This week, I was invited to join the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Trade Ministerial in Big Sky, Montana. This regional bloc meeting remains one of the most important venues for discussing global economic policy. It is also one that has paid attention to the role of entrepreneurs in achieving its goals of trade and cooperation for growth.
America's fiscal health remains currently at the heart of most economic policy chatter. We are living in tight fiscal times. Congress has been focusing on reaching agreements on reducing spending and budget battles are expected to wage on throughout much of this year. Since balancing the budget is inseparable from tax policy, we take a quick look this week at how taxes shape incentives for entrepreneurs.

Yadkin County has found itself listed on AAA Carolinas analysis of the most dangerous roads in the state.
Yadkin County roads rank third on the top counties for fatal crashes with tractor trailers.
Yadkin is preceded by Hyde and Richmond Counties and is listed before Ashe and North Hampton Counties.
"We don't get specific details on particular roads in the counties," said Angela Vogel Daley, PR Manager for AAA. "We did find that rural counties were more dangerous than more urban or suburban areas. That's something that we've found over the past three years."
According to the report, the top five counties combined produced 61 fatal crashes, which is 5.4 percent of the state's total fatal crashes. Those counties only carried 2 percent of the state's vehicle miles traveled.
The top five counties listed for traffic deaths per mile traveled were Clay, Graham, Hyde, Robeson and Hertford counties.
"The roads in rural counties tend to be more narrow, they aren't marked as well, the shoulders are either not existent or are very low and there's not as much police presence as there are in more urban areas," Daley said. "That's why we tend to see more crashes occur on more rural roads."
Yadkin County only landed on the list for fatal crashes with tractor trailers, a result that surprises Sargent Keller with the North Carolina Highway Patrol.
"They must be basing these results off of strictly rural counties because there were only two casualties involving a tractor trailer in 2011," Keller said.
Keller said that the two incidents that occurred last year were not the direct fault of a tractor trailer driver. Keller said once incident took place on U.S. Highway 421 southbound when a car drove through the median, tore down the traffic cables in the median and ran head-on into a tractor trailer.
The second incident involved a suicide of a tractor trailer driver but did not involve another vehicle, Keller said.
Keller says that there have been no fatalities involving tractor trailers so far in 2012 and there was only one reported in 2010 when a tractor trailer driver ran off Interstate 77 due to medical reasons.
Keller said that no fatalities were reported in 2009, but Daley notes that Yadkin County was listed fifth on the list of best chance of being injured in a tractor trailer crash.
The report's numbers show that Yadkin County had a total of 761 crashes in 2011 ranking it at 86 of 100 counties; only five of those crashes were fatal. There were 511 crashes that resulted in property damage only and 245 crashes that resulted in injuries
Daley says that the results of this report often lead to changes in county laws or road quality.
"We do get a good amount of people paying attention to the reports," Daley said. "Once you see some of the same counties appear on the lists year after year you get the local government taking notice and the police pay more attention. Those people know which intersections or which roads are the most dangerous and they may tend to target those areas."
According to the report total number of traffic fatalities in North Carolina dropped 8 percent from 1,328 in 2010 to 1,217 last year.
"It is gratifying to see the decrease in fatalities but dismaying to note that more than three people still die every day on North Carolina roads," said David E. Parsons, president and CEO of AAA Carolinas.

Phu Quoc for the Weekend
This would be my third attempt to go to an island called Phu Quoc located southwest of Ho Chi Minh City between Vietnam and Cambodia. Its mystery and the challenge of getting there had kept me at bay for three years. On my first try, the flight was canceled due to weather conditions. My second attempt to get there was by boat from Rach Gia, however this voyage was also canceled due to bad weather.
Finally, on my third approach, the weather was perfect. The plane left on time and after 50 minutes, I was surprised to see a relatively small, but modern airport with one runway. Entering the terminal, I looked through the glass windows into the local crowd waiting outside for new arrivals. It seemed that everyone who owned a motorbike had come to meet the plane and hoped to be chosen as a taxi driver to ferry the visitors to their island destination. Luckily, I saw a man holding a sign with my name on it! I did not have to go through the selection or negotiating process. With my duffel bag balanced on the front of the motorbike and me on the back, we were off to my pre-booked hotel. Our trip took about fifteen minutes and the cost of the ride was 20,000 dong (US$2) (twice the normal price as it had been reserved). The convenience was well worth the additional price.
The Kim Linh Hotel had both old and new sections and was located on a nice clean quiet beach. I checked into my room in the old section and stood looking at the view from my window; a bay surrounded by mountains, a white sand beach and crystal blue water. The coastline was dotted with both the traditional fishing boats and the round basket boats unique to Vietnam.
When I arrive at a new place, my routine is always the same--to check in and get a good overview of the area. My goal for the balance of that day was to make an orientation tour of the entire island by motorbike. I had not had anything to eat so I decided to stop for lunch before I set out exploring.
Walking down the hill from my hotel room, I came to a fork in the path that directed me from the hotel to the beach. There were two thatched roof bungalows in front of me--one to the right, one to the left. For some reason, I decided to turn left--a decision I would be happy about for the rest of my trip. The one I chose turned out to be the older of the two restaurants and was without electricity. I found out later that the other bungalow had a noisy generator that was used for television and lights. The noise created by the generator, as well as the television, were just what I wanted to escape. In my favor, the TV was quite a treat for the locals and many of the motorbike drivers mingled at that restaurant.
That first afternoon, I never ventured beyond the hammock strung between two palm trees under the thatched roof of the bungalow. I ordered a Tiger beer and fresh shrimp for lunch and before I knew it, I had spent the entire afternoon in my newly found 'home away from home' talking to the children, reading my book, playing with the local dogs, swimming and moving from one hammock to another as the sun moved in the sky. After being in Saigon, this was paradise!
Not only did I eat lunch on the beach that afternoon, but I also watched the stars come out and enjoyed dinner by the light of the evening sky and the kerosene lantern wondering where the day had gone. Oh well, I would do the orientation tomorrow.
As I fell asleep that night, I couldn't help thinking about the truth in the statement that the more difficult a place is to get to, the more magical it is likely to be. It was certainly becoming true about Phu Quoc.
During my stay, I became a fixture at my new 'home'--Bungalow #1. The restaurant was not associated with the hotel. It had no electricity, was quiet, comfortable and family-run. The owner and his wife had three children. The two daughters, 15 and 17, both spoke some English. The mother ran the restaurant and the father and son were fishermen who left every day between 4:00 and 6:00 pm to spend the night in their traditional boat hoping for a bountiful catch.
I awoke at sunrise the next morning. As I ate breakfast, I realized that a pair of fellow visitors was leaving. I decided that even though the view from my window was exquisite, I wanted to try one of the newer rooms located directly on the beach. I asked the management if I could change and moments later, my duffel was being transferred to my new room. I was delighted--the bathroom was new and the price was the same ($16/night). With that accomplished, I was ready for my day of exploration. I hired a motorbike and the same driver from the day before. Fortunately I had asked my bungalow host family what I should expect to pay him for the day. Their answer was between 80,000-100,000 dong. My driver's first asking price was 150,000 and my first counter was 80,000. We finally agreed to 100,000, jumped on the bike and off we went down the bumpy red dirt 'road'. I was to learn the hard way throughout the day that there was no pavement in Phu Quoc! Initially we went toward town to visit the other two hotels on the island. The Sea Fragrant Hotel is in the process of building a new annex which should open soon. Although located in Duong Dong town, the beach in front of the hotel was not nearly as clean as the one in front of mine. The second (Hotel Van Nguyen) I visited was the one in which I was originally supposed to stay but couldn't because it was sold out. It was a family-run mini-hotel (seven rooms) located on a waterway but had no beach. I had ended up at the best possible place.
Traveling north, we reached a point on the island where we could go no further. This is because a dispute remains between the Vietnamese and the Cambodians as to who owns the island. The jungle had become increasingly dense, the smells of the flora sweeter and the sound of the birds clearer. The ride was beautiful and the area truly seemed untouched by mankind. We stopped and started to walk into the jungle. It was quickly apparent that if one were to proceed too far, there might be some difficulty in finding a way out. There were no paths--so we got back on our bike and headed toward the center of the island. As tired as I was, I wanted to continue the trip to the southern part of the island. I knew that if I stopped for lunch (at "my bungalow"), it was not likely that I would get back on the bike to go south.
Reaching the center of the island, we continued our journey south toward Kem Beach, located in the same area as "Coconut Jail" that was built in the French Colonial era and was famous as a prisoner of war camp. Both were on my list of things to see on Phu Quoc. We finally arrived at the old jail. It was hard to visualize what it must have looked like. Nothing remains of the prison except for some remnants of the original concrete foundations. New construction has taken place near the former prison location and appears to be occupied by the Phu Quoc Navy.
As we veered onto an even smaller bumpier road, I noticed a sign in English that said "No Trespassing". Hung, my driver, who was unable to read English, just ignored it and kept going. I realized that if I had rented a motorbike on my own, I would have been stopped by the sign and would have missed the most beautiful beach I have ever seen in Vietnam. What I grasped at that point was that the signs apply only to those who can read them (i.e. foreigners). Fortunately we kept going and soon in front of me was the beach named Kem ('ice cream'). The bay had a white powder sand beach and crystal clear water with waves that lazily rolled onto the shore. I closed my eyes and listened to the melodically quiet sounds of the waves and the birds. I don't know how long I just stood there in thought--it seemed just seconds--yet when I refocused I sensed that Hung was irritated with me. The heat of the day was intense; the only thing lacking in this beautiful spot was shade. Yes, it was time to return to the hotel and my hammock under the thatched roof where I could contemplate life in the shade. I can only hope to return to Kem Beach again before it is discovered and/or developed by the outside world. So once again, off we went on our motorbike to navigate the potholes back to the hotel.
I spent the rest of the afternoon in the hammock discussing what life in America was like with my hosts' two daughters. Later, I watched their father and brother ready the boat for their nightly fishing trip. I wondered what their life was like. Each day they left in the late afternoon in their traditional boat, sailing for two or more hours into the open waters. They fish until dawn, returning home with their catch in time to make the early morning market for sale. I asked if either of the girls had ever gone with them and was told that having a woman in a boat was bad luck, so, no, they had never gone with them.
That night, having a greater appreciation for the "catch of the day", I ate fresh fish and watched the stars appear. Looking up and trying to remember the names of at least some of the stars, I was delighted to recognize Hale-Bopp. I will never forget Hale-Bopp nor where I was when I spotted it that night. I tried futilely to explain the concept of a comet to my adopted family. By the time I left for the night, I had convinced myself that I had done a halfway decent job in the definition--or at least pointed it out so that maybe the next night they could spot it themselves and tell any story they wanted to as to what it was! It sure would be fun to know what was said.
As 9:00 pm arrived, I couldn't keep my eyes open and headed back to my room. During the night, I was awakened by the sounds of a thunderstorm. I wondered about the man and his son out in the open water and hoped they were okay. The next thought was about my scheduled fishing trip for the next day--would this mean it was canceled? What was it that the fishermen said? Was rain a good omen or a bad one? I fell back into a sound sleep and awoke refreshed and ready for my next day's adventure.
When I opened my door I wasn't sure if I had dreamt about the rain or if it had happened. As I walked out into the morning light, my driver was waiting for me. I realized that it had rained but it must not be a bad omen because my driver was ready to go. Arriving at the docks an hour later, Hung began to negotiate for a boat while I drank Vietnamese coffee at a local stand.
Finally, Hung proudly announced that the cost would be 200,000 dong for the day. He pointed to two Japanese men and said that I would be sharing the boat with them. We were an odd group--two Japanese men and their Vietnamese guide, our Vietnamese captain and crew of two, myself and my guide. No one spoke a common language--this could be interesting! We sailed into the open seas for the next couple of hours and after reaching a protected area, we slowed down. The Japanese gentlemen were getting their gear ready and I began to wonder (looking around and not seeing any fishing poles) just what I was to use. Soon enough, a plastic spool wound with fishing line was handed to me. I was shown how to use my finger as the tension lever and with the help of the captain, I was soon all set up and waiting for a bite. About half an hour passed by when suddenly one of my fishing partners landed our first catch--a seven kilo barracuda. Now I was determined not to be outdone. The same gentleman caught his second one before I finally felt a bite and pulled in a six kilo barracuda. I was so proud! So this is why fishermen get so excited--the wait--the bite--the catch--the struggle and finally the fish hitting the deck of the boat. What a thrill! Soon three more fish were caught before we paused for lunch. One of the barracudas was cut up and cooked and another fish was cut up and marinated in lime to be eaten raw.
Arriving back at the docks, I wasn't quite sure what was going to happen to our catch. Hung began bagging our fish--I got the impression that for whatever reason, he was the big winner of the day's catch. We said goodbye to the captain and his crew with our fish bagged and propped on the front of the motorbike. Back at the hotel, Hung was taking great pride in showing off "his" catch. Eventually, the fish ended up on the local catch of the day dinner menu with the proceeds being split between the restaurant and the driver.
I was content to go back to my hammock for the balance of the afternoon. That night the stars were brighter than the previous evenings. I began to think about my return to Saigon the next day and a real sadness came over me. Over the past five years, I have traveled all through this country watching it transform from a place when Saigon and Hanoi could be called quaint to the present day overpopulated, over-motorized, noisy metropolises. The feelings I had during my visit to this little island of Phu Quoc reminded me of the ones I had had five years earlier when I had fallen in love with the peacefulness of the country, the friendliness of its people and their eagerness to learn about the outside world. Smiling faces, no beggars, reasonable prices, basic but clean accommodations. Simplicity and innocence. I began to wonder, thinking of Saigon, and hope this place will last. I reminded myself of how lucky I had been to have witnessed the changes in Vietnam and how once again I had discovered another part of the country that was like a flower ready to bloom. Most people never get to see one flower blossom--I have been able to witness a first, and I'm convinced, a second one in Phu Quoc.
The next morning I awoke to the sound of motorbikes and discovered that I was not the only one leaving that day. Enjoying my fresh morning coffee, I wondered where the time had gone. Beach vacations are not my first choice for a holiday, however I loved my weekend at Phu Quoc. I had come mainly to broaden my knowledge of tourism in Vietnam and went away having had one of the best weekends ever.
All too soon, I knew it was time to go, so I paid my final bill at the restaurant and then at the hotel. Hung had been waiting since early morning for the opportunity to take me back to the airport. Off we drove on the red dirt road to the airport where I bid him farewell. As I waited inside the terminal, I looked outside to see the cycle begin again. Hung was outside in the middle of the crowd (this time with no name sign) trying to convince the new arrivals to choose him as their driver.
During my return flight to Saigon, I realized that I wanted a subtler transition back into modern times. I decided to spend one night at the Omni Saigon where I could ease myself back into the daily pace of the city. I checked in and enjoyed a massage and a swim in its beautiful rooftop pool--yes, this, too, is Vietnam--this is the country after the influences of the western world. I couldn't help wondering where else I had traveled that allowed me to experience so much diversity in such a small area. As many changes as I have witnessed here over these past years, one thing has stayed constant no matter where I traveled--be it the cities, the highlands or even the tiny island of Phu Quoc--it's the warmth and hospitality of all Vietnamese peoples.
That night as I lay in my queen-sized bed with fresh linens and no mosquito net, I realized just how wonderfully complex this country was and how much it has to offer the traveler. Fishing, scuba diving, golf, hiking, luxury resorts and yes, even beach vacations that rival Bali, are all here. Falling asleep in my luxurious accommodations, I began to dream about my beach bungalow, boat basket and barracuda, already missing them but loving the comfort of my room. The next morning I woke well-rested and ready to face the sounds, sights, smells and challenges of Saigon.

By: Matt Hunter
Hoping to improve patient care and save lives, the Wilton EMS squad installed new technology in its ambulances. As YNN's Matt Hunter reports, the devices should help awaiting doctors at the hospital better prepare for incoming patients.
WILTON, N.Y. – Having spent the past 14 years as a paramedic with Wilton EMS, Nash Alexander is well aware every second counts in a medical emergency. With that as their mantra, the department has installed new high tech heart monitors in three of its four ambulances that immediately allow doctors at local hospitals to receive updates on patients who haven't even arrived yet.
"Now they're able to look into our ambulance per se and look at the data," Alexander said. "The EKG, the patient's vital signs, their past medical history, any intervention or treatment that we have done en route to the hospital."
The new monitors, designed by Zoll Medical, wirelessly transmit data from the road through cellular technology, eliminating the old practice of handing doctors hand written notes upon arrival.
"Every minute does count," Alexander said. "So getting that information to the hospital as quickly as we can allows them the time to prepare so they don't have to do as much prep work once they see the patient."
Currently, paramedics must send the data manually, however, starting in March, once they receive the rest of their equipment, all of the information will be sent automatically and right away the moment a patient is hooked up.
"The hospital is more aware of the acuity of the patient we're bringing to them and it just allows for a seamless transition and better in-hospital care," Alexander said.
Wilton EMS, which is partnering with Zoll Medical for a pilot program, is believed to be the first local squad to employ the technology, something Alexander doesn't expect to be the case for long.
"In ambulances, years ago, this was a pipe dream of many paramedics and now to have this technology is significant," Alexander said.
