Location: Residue Chemistry and Predictive Microbiology
Technical Abstract: Routine environmental contaminant monitoring projects generally use targeted analytical methods and are not designed to regularly screen for unrecognized or novel contaminants. We describe a non-targeted analytical method and data reporting system designed to identify and document unrecognized and novel marine contaminants in dolphins, a high trophic level sentinel species. The method used direct sample introduction (DSI) coupled to comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and was tested by characterizing a broad array of non-polar, persistent and bioaccumulative compounds in Atlantic common dolphin blubber. Compound identifications were made by searching a standard reference database and contemporaneously analyzing mass spectra from reference standards. Custom software was developed to organize and provide shared access to the identified mass spectra and related information. We identified a total of 271 compounds belonging to 24 classes. Anthropogenic contaminants and halogenated natural products were concurrently detected. Eighty-six compounds were anthropogenic contaminants that are not routinely targeted in environmental surveys, and 54 compounds were halogenated natural products. We also cataloged 27 halogenated mass spectra that were not able to be identified. The non-targeted analytical method and data reporting system demonstrates a framework for creating an inventory of persistent and bioaccumulative contaminants and halogenated natural products in marine environments, with the future goal of suggesting new compounds for routine targeted monitoring and risk assessment.

MORGAN CITY — Just because the District 8-1A title already had been decided didn't mean Monday night's district finale between Central Catholic and Vermilion Catholic wasn't important.
It was quite the contrary as both teams make their last possible moves in a battle for playoff seeding.
And just like they had on the road, the Central Catholic Lady Eagles, the No. 4-ranked team in Class 1A according to the latest unofficial power rankings released by the Louisiana High School Athletic Association, came out on top with a 42-35 victory against second-ranked Vermilion Catholic.
Like the first, game, the second one wasn't firmly in hand until late in the fourth quarter.
And unlike the first one, Vermilion Catholic defense, along with an off shooting night, limited Central Catholic's Meo Knight.
The junior standout, who records double-doubles with ease, still had a solid night but was "limited" to eight points, seven rebounds, three steals and two blocks. However, all but one bucket came from the free throw line, where Knight finished 6-for-6. She was 1-for-11 from the field.
While fellow junior Randi Brown led Central Catholic with 17 points and 11 rebounds as well as two assists, two steals and two blocks, it was the contributions of two seniors that helped the Lady Eagles in some key situations.
Leading 23-18 with less than three minutes remaining in the third quarter and Knight out of the game with her third foul, Abbie Bergeron connected on a shot for a 25-18 Central Catholic advantage.
Bergeron again connected later in the quarter on a three-pointer for a 28-20 Central Catholic advantage.
While Vermilion Catholic trimmed the lead to 28-23 on Kaylen Collins' three-point play with 2:33 remaining in the quarter, buckets by Caroline Byrne and Bergeron, after Byrne kicked it out to her, gave the Lady Eagles their largest lead of the night at 32-23 with 1:05 remaining in the third quarter in what had been a tight contest.
"Playing team ball, I think that's the best kind," Byrne said. "It's really good to know that everybody works together. It's not just Randi and Meo anymore. It's all of us can help out. When they're in trouble, they can look to us. … That's really good."
Bergeron had similar feelings.
"Randi and Meo are really big parts of the team just like Makayla (McDaniel), but we all got to play our part in it somewhere because they can't do it on their own," Bergeron said.
Central Catholic coach Jamarr Garrett says he wants to see Byrne and Bergeron continue to take shots in ball games, noting that most teams focus their attention on Knight and Brown.
He said the contributions by others shows that, while Knight and Brown dominate the stat lines, they are not the entire team.
Despite the nine-point deficit, Vermilion Catholic wasn't done. Vermilion Catholic used a 7-2 run through the rest of the third quarter and beginning of the fourth to cut the deficit to 34-30 following Katie Frith's bucket with 4:15 remaining in the contest. While she was fouled on the play, Frith could not connect to further cut into the Central Catholic advantage.
After Central Catholic had again extended its lead to 39-30, Vermilion Catholic again rallied as Ashailee Brailey connected on a trey with about 1:30 left, while her putback about 30 seconds later cut the Central Catholic deficit to 39-35 with less than a minute to play.
However, Brown hit three of four free throws down the stretch to seal the victory.
Garrett said the game was a big one in terms of power rankings, but he also expressed that his squad needed to put teams away when they have the opportunity.
Vermilion Catholic coach Kim Guidry said she thought the game was a good one for her squad to play as a playoff tuneup.
"CC's a well-coached and very athletic group, so it only makes us better to play them. … I told my kids I thought we did better this time than when they came to us," Guidry said. "We just couldn't capitalize on a few times we had the ball and couldn't score. You go make a stop and then you don't turn it into points, then we're back to where we started."
In the first half, both teams struggled to make shots as Central Catholic jumped out to an 8-4 lead after a period of play. All of Vermilion Catholic's points came from the free throw line in the initial stanza, while half of Central Catholic's came from the charity stripe.
Vermilion Catholic got its first field goal with about 5:36 remaining in the second quarter as it outscored Central Catholic 9-6 in the period.
Vermilion Catholic nearly took the lead into halftime but a missed layup at the end of the first half following a Central Catholic turnover left Central Catholic with a slim 14-13 lead.
Other top contributors for Central Catholic included Bergeron, eight points and two steals; Bryne, five points and one steal; and Megan Landry, four points, one steal and a rebound.
Both Central Catholic and Vermilion Catholic now will await their seeding in the Class 1A playoffs. Brackets will be released Thursday.
Patterson falls to Erath
The Patterson Lumberjills dropped their final game of the season, 65-26, to Erath.
No individual statistics were available for the Lumberjills in the District 9-3A contest.
Patterson finishes its season with an overall mark of 4-17 and a district record of 3-9.

They are 90% ELL and the problem that we face each day is low literacy and low math skills. I've written childrens and young adult books as well as poetry but have not found myself an agent yet to help publish them.
I really believe in the Piaget approach along with the 7 different learning styles. I try to incorporate 3 styles at a time into my lessons to enhance learning. I also focus on high engagement and have yet to follow my lesson plan to the 'T' because of this.

Gambling Awareness, Culturally-tuned Treatment, Assessment and Signs of Addiction
Posted on March 8, 2013
We are in National Gambling Awareness Week - which hopes to remind people of the strongly addictive properties of compulsive or problem gambling. About 85% of people in the US gamble at some point (200 million+). Of those about 3-5% are estimated to have a problem ... and of that number only a small percentage ever even believe they have a problem... Also Darryl discusses his experiences creating culture-specific treatment in the 70s and 80s and its value. And what are the signs of addiction, and how do we know if we, or people we are close to, are afflicted? PODCAST

Can anyone think of any other aftermarket accessories that were once popular but have now almost disappeared?

Phone: 908-591-9351 Hometown: Cranford, NJ Birthday: September 21 Bio: John is the state politics reporter and Patch liaison for The Huffington Post. He is the former editor of Westfield Patch, a position he held from May 2009 to August 2011. John, Westfield Patch's launch editor, came to Westfield Patch from three years as a freelance journalist covering real estate and politics in New York and New Jersey. During this time he broke some of the biggest political and real estate stories across New York State. Earlier in his career he was a reporter for Worrall Community Newspapers in Union County, reporting on the communities of Summit, Clark, Mountainside, Union and Springfield. A Cranford resident, John received his bachelor's degree in Political Science from Niagara University and his master's degree from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.Totally unplanned, he managed to become Niagara's first triple minor, with minors in Communication Studies, Environmental Studies and Religious Studies. He has worked in Corporate Communications for a major financial services corporation and as public information officer of the Niagara Falls Charter Revision Commission. John's first book, The Next Generation: Young Elected Officials and their Impact on American Politics was published by Continuum International Publishing in 2010. For the book he has interviewed over 90 current and former young elected officials across the country. He has won a community reporting award from the New Jersey Press Association, first place for in-depth magazine reporting of state government from CapitolBeat and an award for daily reporting from the New Jersey chapter of the Society of the Professional Journalists. He has served as an awards judge for the Deadline Club of New York, the Idaho Press Club and the Columbia Journalism School Alumni Association. He volunteers as a Board Member and Program Committee Chairman of the Columbia University Club of New York and as an alumni admissions recruiter for Niagara University. John is passionate about Niagara and Columbia sports (warning come March, he will want Niagara to win the MAAC). He will also willingly answer any question about the Niagara Falls/Buffalo area and enjoys discussing politics, real estate and a variety of other subjects. He likes to bike, jog, swim, read and hang out with friends. Beliefs At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible and human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal certain key beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable. This disclosure is not a license for our editors to inject these beliefs into stories or to dictate coverage according to them. In fact, the intent is the opposite: we hope that the knowledge that our beliefs are on the record will force us to be ever mindful to write, report, and edit in a fair, balanced way. And if you, the user, ever think you see evidence that we failed in this mission, we wholeheartedly invite you to let us know. Politics • How would you describe your political beliefs? I consider myself a moderate on most issues; however, on certain issues I trend liberal. I vote based on the candidate and not the party. Religion • How religious would you say you are? Casual, observant, devout, non-religious? Observant. As an undergrad, I was both a Lector and a Eucharistic Minister, and I attended several campus ministry retreats. As a Religious Studies minor my particular focus was on the relationship between religion and modern society. Local Hot Button Issues • What do you think are the two or three most important issues facing the community? Downtown Parking and Parking Enforcement Traffic and Pedestrian Safety The redistricting of Roosevelt Intermediate School • Where do you stand on each of these issues? While I've been in and around Westfield most of my life, I am just now approaching the town looking at many of the issues facing the community from a "resident's perspective" and I need to give them more thought before saying where I stand on them. Obviously, I am a proponent of any policy that champions the safety of pedestrians and motorists.

More on Biloxi from AOL Travel
Biloxi, Mississippi entered the world's consciousness as a sleepy, seaside military town in Neil Simon's "Biloxi Blues." Today, Biloxi has rapidly evolved into one of the South's premier vacation destinations. The city offers a dizzying array of attractions for travelers of all ages, due to its laidback beach life, resort casinos and vibrant nightlife. Biloxi has been called "The Playground of the South," and after spending a few hours in the city's sprawling casino resorts, you will see that the nickname is a well-earned one. Top-shelf resorts such as the Beau Rivage, Isle of Capri and Hard Rock Casino and Hotel Biloxi, offer everything from gaming tables, Las Vegas-style shows and aquatic centers, to full service-spas, nightclubs and fine dining. However, Biloxi offers so much more than gaming and partying. Cultural gems such as the Beauvoir National Historic Site, the post-war home of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, the Ohr-Okeefe Museum of Art, home to an impressive collection of ceramic art, and the 19th century Biloxi Light House, provide a glimpse into the city's Southern and artistic roots. Biloxi's outdoor attractions offer a number of ways to enjoy fun in the sun. Traveling golfers can test their skills on the magnolia-lined fairways of Fallen Oak Golf Course, a par-72, championship course designed by legendary architect Tom Fazio, while the city's white sandy beaches are the perfect place to enjoy a spirited game of beach volleyball. For a seafaring adventure, hop aboard an area boat cruise and explore the picturesque barrier islands. The city's fishing piers and shrimping tours provide a unique way to catch your dinner. Biloxi also offers a number of shopping options for fashion-conscious visitors. Resort casinos offer one-of-a-kind fashion boutiques, and the Edgewater Mall is teeming with department and specialty stores for savvy shoppers.

For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
The website balleralert.com is all the rage over the last two days. First, the New York Post gave it a writeup. Then, Jezebel chimed in. Why all the consternation over a site that, as Jezebel points out, currently has a top story with the innocuous-sounding title, "Marrying For Money: Gold Digger or Financial Planner?" Let's check the opening to the Post's story:
She slips an expensive Rolex around her wrist and slings a stylish $3,000 Gucci bag over her shoulder. A football star lavished her with these little luxuries, but now — after finally bedding the NFL
player — she wants a car."With christmas coming, I think now is as good of time as any to throw that out there lol . . . Nothing major, just a CTS or a 535 or something . . . 40-50 thousand range," writes a Brooklyn woman who goes
by the handle "Angelina Yee."
Oh. Um, yeah. That's probably why.
BallerAlert, you see, has not only posts like the one we mentioned before, but a thriving community of groupies, who use the site to figure
out the best strategies for successful jersey-chasing (and, apparently,
once they do that, the best strategies for successful car-getting). Remember Off The market – the company aiming to deter cheating that we wrote about two months ago? BallerAlert is basically the polar opposite.
Jersey-chasing is a subject almost guaranteed to pique interest (as we can attest, thanks to this post), so it's not surprising a specialty site like this would come about/get popular (after all, similar things have already happened for music [fair warning: NSFW link]). But is that at all a good thing? Sadie Stein at Jezebel says:
What's especially odd about the site is the readiness with which the women self-identify as groupies and golddiggers. I mean, it's neither ironic nor empowering if you're actually living down to a
stereotype in every particular.
Tough to argue that. But, as she also says, there are two sides to that coin:
And frankly, the athletes who involve themselves in the dynamic are doing the exact same thing (plus, it's hard to sympathize with a high-profile star who's cheating and risks exposure.)
Athletes (and musicians, and other high-profile entertainers) have cheated (or just chased, or been chased) for pretty much as long as
their skills have afforded them money and recognition. It was almost
inevitable that communities of groupies would emerge in the internet age
– giving niche areas a home is pretty much what the internet is about.
But we can also see why there'd be unease with that idea among the non-groupie crowd – the fact that just the word 'groupie' itself brings
with it negative connotations, the fact that it's openly discussed how
to try to get some guy to give you a car – and why that same crowd would
want the blame for scenarios like the car request spread among both
sides. Anyone who wants to live the life is free to do it – but even
easy sex can come with its own set of problems…and it's the job of the
chased to know what they're potentially getting themselves into.

Parenting Super Hero or Not?
Counter to what some people might think, I find that the most irresponsible teens come from the most responsible parents...
None of us can see our own errors; deliver me, LORD, from (my) hidden faults! - Psalms 19:12
Being a super hero works out pretty well in the movies or comic books, but when it comes to parenting, rescuing your teenager every time can lead to problems. It can spoil their ability to see the world as it truly is, and it can cause uncaring, self-centered and entitled thinking in your teenager now and throughout their lifetime.
Parents are wired to protect their children. It's natural and it is needed in the early childhood years, but some parents continue protecting their offspring far longer than they should. Beginning in the teen years, kids need to begin feeling the impact of their own actions and to be given more responsibility for their own survival.
Counter to what some people might think, I find that the most irresponsible teens come from the most responsible parents. I call them "Super Parents." They are so fixated on fixing problems that they fix all of their teenager's mistakes as well. They don their cape and fly off to badger a teacher who has given their teenager a bad grade. They run faster than a steaming locomotive and bend steel bars to get their errant teen out of jail. And in everyday terms; they pick up their teen's room, manage his money, pay his speeding tickets, wash his cloths and rush him to school when he oversleeps in the morning.
When it comes to parenting in the teen years, another name for a "Super Parent" is an "enabler." They enable a teen to go right on breaking the rules and stomping all over everyone - and each time the teen is rescued it is from something a little more serious.
If you are an enabler, I'd like you to consider a different approach, for everyone's sake. Life doesn't have to revolve around chasing after your teen's problems - even if you like being the super hero! Believe me; the problems will only get worse, not better, with every rescue. You're not doing your teenager any favors. In fact, you'll likely end up with exactly the opposite of what you are hoping for - a childish adult who remains dependent on you and cannot manage his finances, his relationships, nor his life.
The only way out of this spin cycle is to bring it to an end. How? By having a good talk with your teenager to tell them you will no longer be intervening on their behalf. Then hand your teen's problems right back to them. They won't believe it at first. They'll think you'll still rescue them, but don't do it! They need to feel the bite of making their own mistakes, and they need to know you won't come running (or leaping tall buildings) to rescue them. I'm not talking about "not being there" for your teen, or ignoring them and "throwing them to the wolves." I'm talking about rescuing them from opportunities they encounter in life that will help them develop responsibility, make better choices, and mature.
Until the pain of consequences of behavior is greater than the pleasure a teen gets from that particular behavior, their actions won't stop.
Why Kids Need Consequences
It's no mystery. Teenagers behave irresponsibly when they've not had to be responsible for their behavior. They do not magically become more responsible, mature, or wise as they get older. They learn experientially, and they get wiser by living. They learn by being given responsibility and by facing uncomfortable consequences for failing in that responsibility or making bad decisions. If they put their hand in a flame, they need to learn they'll get burned. Even if you tell them they'll be burned, at some point they'll test out your theory. And if they don't feel the sting of the fire when they do test it, they'll likely do it again and again, just to show you that you're wrong!
So, what does scripture say about consequences? In Proverbs it says, "The Lord disciplines those He loves" (Proverbs 3:12a) and "Discipline your son, and he will give you peace"( Proverbs 29:17). Discipline is a principle found throughout the Old and New Testaments. So, there is nothing more loving, biblical and godly than to give proper discipline to your children.
Consequences can be the natural result of foolish actions, such as breaking a leg from jumping off a roof, or they can be what employers, parents or authorities use to bring about a positive change in behavior. For parents, the goal of consequences is not punishment; it is to help your teenager grow up. In adult life, we deal with consequences every day, and if we're smart we avoid them, but teenagers still need to learn that wisdom, even though they are capable of being adults intellectually and biologically.

Many Chinese complain about the decline in public ethics. To some, this week's death generated debate about the nation's apparent moral decay in the midst of an economic boom.
"How can one even imagine strangling a baby just to steal a car?" Ping Gu, a white-collar worker in Beijing tells me. "What about basic humanity, conscience, values?"
At the ongoing annual meeting of China's legislature, Premier Wen Jiabao obliquely acknowledged the problem, too.
"We should greatly increase education in public morality, professional ethics, family virtues and personal integrity," the outgoing premier said in his state-of-the-nation speech last Monday. Wen proposed to "foster healthy social conduct."
Censors jump on coverage
Meanwhile, China's propaganda czars have imposed a gag rule to stop the negative reporting on the case. In an internal decree issued Tuesday soon after the killer surrendered, they instructed the local media in Changchun to mute their reporting.
A screen grab of the decree was captured before it was deleted. Translation:
1. No front page coverage, the story shouldn't be bigger than half a page on newspapers. TV channels shall not run long feature reports.
2. Reports should criticize the killer and highlight the positive efforts made by the police.
3. No questioning or finger-pointing of the police. Don't criticize the city's (Skynet) surveillance network. Stop interviewing victim's family and relatives.

Michael Phelps definitely earned the last gold medal of his incredible Olympic career. Team USA trailed after two legs in the 4x100 medley relay on Saturday, but Phelps put them back in front and Nathan Adrian blew away the rest of the field as the anchor in the freestyle leg to give the Americans their 30th swimming medal of the London Games. Matt Grevers and Brendan Hansen rounded out the relay squad. Phelps was stone-faced as he walked into the pool for the final race of his career. He needed every bit of that focus to chase down Japan, which was leading the relay after two legs. That's 22 medals, 18 of them gold for Phelps in his career. Soon he'll be stepping on the Olympic podium for the final time. — Jon Krawczynski — Twitter http://twitter.com/APkrawczynski ___ EDITOR'S NOTE — "Eyes on London" shows you the Olympics through the eyes of Associated Press journalists across the 2012 Olympic city and around the world.

For over a year, Ben Sayeg traveled around the world documenting a traveling installation art project made by his sister. Throughout the year he stayed in hotel after hotel, finding himself in unexpected cities and surrounded by unexpected people. It was that experience that inspired his Four Stories-winning script, ¡El Tonto!. Director Lake Bell took Ben's script and adapted it into ¡El Tonto!, a comedy about an unlikely friendship at W Mexico City.
Ben lives in Brooklyn with his wife and works with the sketch-comedy troupe the Upright Citizens Brigade. The Ultrabook™ Experience caught up with Ben after he got back from filming in Mexico City.
Hey Ben! Did you enjoy traveling to Mexico City and being on set?
Ben Sayeg: It was a really new experience for me. I've made movies before, but on a much smaller scale. When I am just making stuff with friends, we have to do everything. So usually I'm holding the camera and running around make things happen. With this project, I wrote something and these professionals made it happen. I sort of found myself without a role on set. But just observing how the process came together taught me a lot. It was great.
What was it like working with director Lake Bell on revising your script?
Rarely is a script taken from paper to production. So much has to be taken into consideration: locations, budgets, etc. We had a lot of jamming sessions over the phone. Working with a director, a whole host of ideas need to be addressed. You need to envision what the shoot would look like and that affects the pacing of jokes and the development of characters.
This is my first big project, arguably my break big. And the process made the script much more streamlined. The pacing is better, and the jokes really stand out. What we shot was so much better than what I came up with originally. I really want to thank Intel and W Hotels for putting on this competition. Getting to work with such talented professionals was such a great opportunity for learning.
How did you hear about Four Stories?
My roommate Will sent me the link. And I thought "OK sure. This deadline's coming up and I got a little bit of time." I've traveled a lot in the last year. Documenting my sister's installation artists, stayed in hotels all around the world. So this feeling of being alone while traveling was still fresh in my mind.
Did that feeling inspire the character in your script?
Yes. Finding connections with other people is the great challenge of traveling. The character learns how to release himself from his solitude through a chance, magical encounter.
How did you respond to the constraints of the contest?
I love rules. That's sort of a weird thing to say, but I feel like the rules gave me a place to jump off from. Using the Ultrabook, which is such a helpful kind of device when you are traveling, and getting the most from the setting at W Hotels, it all made sense to me.
I also appreciate working with brands and seeing how brands are supporting young artists. Four Stories gives hope to the way brands can interact with filmmaking. Brand-supported content isn't just little 30-second spots anymore. It gives me hope as a filmmaker that more opportunities to create meaningful stories exist.

Vidalia Brands and Inventure Foods Partner for Sweet Onion Petals
Specialty food manufacturer Inventure Foods Inc., Phoenix, has entered into a licensing agreement with Vidalia Brands Inc., Glennville, Ga., owners of the Vidalia brand. The agreement allows for the development of a new line of prepackaged snacks for vending, grocery and convenience store distribution, with the first product being Vidalia Sweet Onion Petals. This baked snack is made with real Vidalia sweet onion puree and is extruded in the form of an onion stick. It features zero trans fats and 130 calories per serving.
This license agreement expands Inventure Foods' portfolio of nationally recognized brands that currently includes Jamba, T.G.I. Friday's and Nathan's Famous. "We have a successful track record of taking consumer brands into the prepackaged, ready-to-eat space," says Steve Sklar, senior vice president of marketing for Inventure Foods. "With Vidalia Brands, we are combining powerful brand recognition with the latest in snack trends to introduce a product line that will certainly taste great, but will also feel immediately familiar to consumers."
Vidalia Sweet Onion Petals come in 2.25-oz. and 3.5-oz. bags with a suggested retail price of $1.99 and $2.49, respectively.

Many engineering concepts can be conveyed through stop-motion, as illustrated in this gallery.
Creating an animation was a wonderful experience for our students. I liked the excitement, the learning, and the cooperative work.
– Teacher, Massachusetts
I have not seen anything else that makes it so easy for students and teachers alike to create movies and animation to demonstrate learning.
– Teacher, California
I thought it was a great way to express your creativity and have fun with your friends.
– Fifth Grade Student, Massachusetts
The most fabulous part is that even though they are only little kids, they are able to use the software all on their own to do the stop-motion filming.
– Parent, Australia
My students are loving their creations…the time to gather and organize materials, design props and backgrounds, and develop words to match their moving pictures. It's truly wonderful!4th Grade Teacher, Rhode Island, USA
Realizing that I could be part of creating a video that was helpful for my own learning and also useful to the teacher for helping younger students get introduced to a science topic and getting a glimpse of the possibilities of the SAM software was both surprising and satisfying.Student, New HampshireUSA
Combining ideas in science with music and animation while working with my friends was effective, helpful, and amusing.Student, New HampshireUSA
SAM Animation allows students to teach, which helps them clarify their own thoughts. By considering what ideas to communicate to an audience, how to show those ideas, and when to show those ideas, students develop a more refined sense of the solidity of their own understanding.Teacher, New HampshireUSA
You are a great company to deal with! Its wonderful to be able to talk to a real person AND its always the same one!TeacherUSA
It's a fun way to put technology into what we're learning.5th Grade Student, MassachusettsUSA
I find the students' movies entertaining, some funny, some touching, some breathtaking in their art. It's a great class for students to work to the best of their ability, and maybe be able to shine here in a way that's difficult in more academic classes. I feel really lucky to have watched this work be created, and to have hard-working, talented, and creative students.10th Grade Art and Technology Teacher, MassachusettsUSA
I enjoyed working with the software because it allowed me to rapidly take pictures after I moved my clay figures. Another great feature is the onion skinning. It increased the quality of the video and made the entire process so much more efficient.10th Grade Student, MassachusettsUSA
When the students use stop motion animation they engage in higher level thinking. Students are motivated to teach others and while they are deconstructing and constructing their content knowledge they are able to clearly demonstrate what they've learned. It's a great culminating experience!Fifth Grade Teacher, MassachusettsUSA
This was my first time working with SAM Animation, or even a stop motion program in general. All in all I'm proud of how it turned out; it took 1307 pictures just to create this 1 minute 20 second video. I hope you enjoy it!10th Grade Student, MassachusettsUSA

Digital games have permeated our everyday lives and are driving technological and media innovation forward at a tremendous pace. Engaging in the core challenges that are driven by game development and design requires interdisciplinary skills and a rigorous empirical and experimentally- minded approach.
The Game Innovation Lab is an exciting, dynamic and flexible space for research and learning that takes games as an innovation challenge. Core research and teaching activities are grounded in computer science, engineering, and user experience, with participation of researchers and educators from other allied disciplines. Sample projects in the Lab include user interface innovation (sensor-based tracking, multi-touch), network and video quality research, and research on games for learning.

These particular factors make booking an aircraft charter a highly convenient option.Many people will complain about their experiences on standard commercial aircrafts. They'll complain that their flights have been delayed; that their seats on the flight were uncomfortable; that they spent hour waiting to be checked in.With a private aircraft many of these problems are eradicated. With a privately booked aircraft charter, flights are rarely cancelled - unless the weather makes it unsafe to fly, flights usually go ahead on schedule. The check-in process is radically different, as, you or your party are the only people due to board the plane.

MAXTON — The Maxton Board of Commissioners on Tuesday approved a budget for fiscal year 2013-14 that holds the property tax rate steady, does not add or eliminate jobs, does not include a cost-of-living raise for employees, and does not increase fees.
The new budget goes into effect July 1.
According to the town's interim manager, Angela Pitchford, the $3.1 million budget includes a General Fund of $1,42 million as well as a Critical Needs grant from the Rural Center for improvements to the town's wastewater system of $280,530.
The town's property tax rate remains at 80 cents per $100 of property value, Pitchford said. She also said the town will continue to furlough its employees and town offices will continue to be open only four days a week.
"This is a tight budget. We're trying to keep expenses down," Pitchford said. "Our ultimate goal is to bring up our General Fund and get employees off furlough."
Maxton has been financially strapped for the past two years and is currently being monitored by the state.
"We supply the state with a budget vs. actual expense report and a cash-balance report every month," Pitchford said.
At a budget work session last month, Myra Tyndall, an assistant in the Finance Department, told the commissioners that the town is expected to lose about $30,000 in privilege license taxes a year because Internet-gaming establishments have been shut down by the state. The town could also lose up to $120,000, she said, because of proposed legislation in the General Assembly that would reform the tax code.
That adds up to a $150,000 of lost revenue for the town.

Dancing dogs and pet contests will take centre stage at this year's Doggy Fun Day.
Royal City residents are invited to attend the annual event that's taking place on Sunday, Aug. 26 from 12 to 3 p.m. on the south field in Queen's Park (the one near First Street and just above the off-leash dog area).
"This is the 13th annual Doggy Fun Day," said Cheryl Rogers, one of the event's organizers. "It's going to be a great time."
Doggy Fun Day includes fun and games for dogs and their people including egg and spoon races, three-legged races, pet tricks and pet/owner lookalike contests.
"They do sometimes look alike," Rogers said. "With some people you can see a strong resemblance. Some people do the dressing up thing."
Kids enjoy participating in the Super Duper Pooper Scooper contest. Kids have to collect as much poop as possible in a limited amount of time.
"It's not real poop," Rogers said. "They are very competitive. Some of them are quite quick pooper scoopers."
The bobbing for wieners contest is Doggy Fun Day's premier event, attracting dogs of all shapes and sizes.
"It's the gold-medal hockey game of Doggy Fun Day," Rogers said. "We have so many dogs that we have heats - quarter finals, semi-finals and finals. The dogs have fun, the people have fun watching it. By the final round, they are so fast - if you blink, you'd miss it."
Doggy Fun Day is designed to be a fun day for dogs and their owners, but it's also a fundraiser for Pacific Volunteer Education and Assistance Team for Animals Society (VEATA). The volunteer-run, registered animal registered charity does education promoting responsible pet ownership and retention, offers financial assistance for low-income pet owners and assistance with pet emergency response, and provides temporary emergency fostering for pets of people in crisis (including those going into detox, transition houses, treatment centres and emergency hospital stays).
The day will also feature booths by pet-oriented stores and suppliers, booths by VEATA and animal charities and rescue societies, a raffle or silent auction and a concession operated by parks and recreation. Several dogs will also demonstrate their dancing prowess.
"They are all members of the dog dancing club Paws 2 Dance," said member Joyce Johnstone, whose dog Twinkletoes will be among the dancers.
All of the dogs dancing at Doggy Fun Day will be performing in a full-length dog dancing play, Shadows of Eternity, at the Bell Performing Arts Centre in Surrey in November.

I have seen beautiful tall shower curtains pop-up everywhere. But since we are living in a rental property, I couldn't allow myself to buy an expensive curtain that later may not be needed. So I decided that I will make one for under $20. It also had to be light enough so it wouldn't require a rod that needs to be screwed to the wall. After going to Joann's and looking through fabric, I figured that I would spend more than $15 just on the fabric alone and they didn't have the color I wanted, so I would still have to dye it. So off I went to think about what should I do while strolling through Ikea when suddenly I came upon cheap Ikea twin and thus was the idea of using the Ikea sheets was born.
