Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) March 02, 2013
According to these reports in 2012, the Chinese Orthopedic Trauma Devices Market was valued at over $413 million and Indian orthopedic trauma devices market was valued at over $75 million. The Chinese and Indian Orthopedic Trauma market is split into two general categories; internal and external fixation. Internal fixation includes devices such as plates & screws, intramedullary nails, and cannulated screws. Growth in each orthopedic trauma segment is propelled largely by the aging population, motor vehicle accidents and an occasionally increasing average selling price (ASP) due to technological advancements. There is fast growth in the overall market fuelled by the Chinese and Indian government improving healthcare coverage across the country and as Chinese citizens have increasing amounts of disposable income on average, while Indian government is improving healthcare coverage across the country and improving regulations regarding the quality of medical devices. The increased affordability of trauma surgeries opens up new demographics in the overall trauma market and will enable the market to continue growing at a strong rate over the forecast period.

NEWBERRY — The end of Newberry High's construction tunnel is in sight.
Newberry County School District's Assistant Superintendent of Operations Jim Suber gave an update on the progress at Monday's school board meeting.
"We are nearing the end," said Suber.
Completed projects include the front canopy, front sidewalks and the front entrance's paving on the horseshoe. The mini theater and the front addition still have some work to be completed, Suber said along with other "punch list items" such as painting and flooring.
The project began the beginning of last summer in June with Suber giving monthly updates about the $2.6 million project coming from capital project funds. This is the school's first construction project in five years with the last project being a heating and air (HVAC) project. Suber said the project is on target with the budget.
The ultimate purposes were to make the building more secure and update the building.
Suber also reported on security measures the school district has taken and continues to take especially after the recent school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn.
"We are proactive and forward thinking," said Suber, "and want to provide a safe and secure environment. A majority of the schools are designed so that visitors are funneled to the front entrance."
A hundred percent of the campuses have cameras which equates to about 490 indoor and outdoor security cameras.
Suber recommended that the board look at repairs for the cameras during the upcoming budget season since a majority of the cameras are at or over their three-year limit.
The schools also have a phone system through which the school's staff can have a direct line of communication with the front or the district's administration.
Suber also reported that several of the schools have photo identification processes in the front office during which visitors' driver's licenses are scanned or their photo is taken when signing in. The photo sign-in prints out a sticker to be worn by the visitor and also requires the person to sign out.
Suber also said "36 out of 56 school buses have surveillance cameras installed" and school resource officers are stationed at every middle and high school.
"We do not have a SRO on elementary school campuses or at the alternative school," said Suber, but he pointed out that deputies with the sheriff's department are available upon request. "It's a wonderful relationship we (the school district) have with law enforcement."
The schools do have comprehensive lock down procedures, crises training for intruders and threats and other natural disaster plans that are practiced regularly.
Suber added that Major Todd Johnson with the sheriff's department is trained in crises preparedness and goes across the country talking and sharing this information. Johnson assists the district with plans for safer schools.
In other business, the school board gave Superintendent Bennie Bennett an "exemplary" evaluation. The evaluation was done in executive session that night.
"We were very pleased with each part of the evaluation and look forward to the upcoming years," said Jody Hamm, chairman of the board. Hamm added Bennett received an additional five days of vacation to take.
The board's officers were also appointed and will remain the same this year. Hamm continues as chairman, Lee Attaway as vice chairman, Clyde Hill as secretary and Lucy Anne Meetze as the legislative liason. All board members were in favor of keeping the officers the same.
Next year's calendar
Bennett said a draft of the 2013-14 school calendar was available and requested input from teachers, administrators and parents. The calendar draft will be on the school district's website — www.newberry.k12.sc.us — the end of this week for parents to review and comment on.
At the February school board meeting, the board will finalize the calendar for the upcoming school year. The next meeting is 7:30 p.m. Feb. 25 at The Learning Center.
Plans for Improvement
Cynthia Downs, assistant superintendent of instruction, brought forth the Superintendent's Support of Schools Plans for Improvement and three schools improvement plans whose growth rating were at least below average from the state's report cards last year.
The growth rating is a measure from the previous year to the next year. Mid-Carolina High and Newberry High received below average while the Newberry County Career Center received an at-risk rating.
The principals gave a report as to what they plan to do to bring up the rating for next year as required by the Education Accountability Act of 1998.
Mid-Carolina High's Principal Ray Cooper said they are identifying the date and what their students need. Two areas that they will work on are end of course scores in history and second year High School Achievement Performance (HSAP) test takers.
Newberry High's Katrina Singletary said they are working on their high school improvement grant, implementing power strategies in the classroom, taking steps to improve math, tweaking their Freshmen Academy and restructuring their guidance department so students can work with one counselor throughout their high school year after ninth grade.
The career center's director Buddy Livingston said they are identifying those students whose average dipped below a 76 and identifying their needs and boosting scores.
He points out that of 100 students, only six could score a C average or less which affected their results.
The board approved the schools' plans for improvement.

Product Backstory
Darth Sidious is an unparalleled mastermind. By subtle arts and quiet maneuvering, the Sith Lord has engineered a crisis of confidence between the Republic's governing body, the Galactic Senate, and the galaxy's corporate giants. Spurred to rash action by their secret benefactor, Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray and his Neimoidian associates have blockaded the peaceful world of Naboo in order to force a resolution to the taxation issue that threatens their continued profitability.Emboldened by their alliance with the secretive Sith Lord, the Neimoidians are unaware that they are pawns in the opening move of a much larger game being played by the hooded villain. But when the skittish aliens begin to loose their nerve and fumble the operation, Darth Sidious unleashes another of his hidden weapons, one far more dangerous and efficient - one that will not fail him.
Trained in secret as a merciless killing machine, the diabolical Darth Maul is the perfect counterpart to his Lord's subtlety. Where Darth Sidious is shadowy and elusive, his scarlet and pitch-tattooed apprentice is a vivid manifestation of Sith rage. Sharpened horns curve, scythe-like, from the skin of his shaved head and the fiery red thrumming of his double-bladed lightsaber is matched only by the blazing intensity of his venomous stare. Armed with a deadly array of weapons and sophisticated tracking equipment, the Sith hunter is dispatched by Lord Sidious to track down Naboo's errant Queen Amidala and force her to submit to the Federation's demands. That two Jedi will stand in the killer's way only spurs Maul's eagerness and fuels his determination. With death and fire, the Sith will at last reveal themselves to the Jedi!

Listen to my latest full track, The End of The World:
And this is the preview for my next track, "Techno, Confusion, Horror":
Listen to my latest full track, The End of The World:
And this is the preview for my next track, "Techno, Confusion, Horror":
Welcome to my new project: ReTouch. The main idea of this project is to use a Meego device as a remote keyboard/touchpad device to control a Linux desktop over wifi or bluetooh.
For this, I'm using Qt4 (and on the future Qt5) to develop both the client and server sides of this application.
The client will just work on the Meego device (grabbing the gestures from a touch area and from a virtual keryboard) and send this information over a connection to the server part, who will be responsible to convert its input and perform these events on the machine.
The application running on the device (currently I'm testing on the QtCreator's simulator) is being developed using QtQuick (QML), as you can see on the screenshots:
The server is the more complicated side, as its need to receive the client input and convert to the system signals to emulate real keyboard/mouse events. For this, I've done some tests using Xlib, with successful results.
By now, I'm finishing the client's interface and starting capturing the virtual keyboard events (the touch ones are working well), and finishing projecting the basic connection protocol (its demand some security governance too).
So, stay tuned to future updates
And now, my entry for the "Hefty and Dave Elyzium – Invocation | Remix Contest", listen!
As I'm at SoundCloud, you can check my uploaded music there, or by these embedded players
Washing Machine Dream Techno RMX
And finally, this preview of my new original mix "Smile" (this preview can be removed at any moment):
This is not just yet another market list application, this is MY market list application. Yes, my new (and first) application for Android is almost ready.
In this first version of the app, you will can:
- Create a new list;
- Delete a list;
- Create a new list importing from an existing one;
- Change an item price and quantity;
- Sort the list (A-Z, Z-A, bought items first, unbought items first).
On newer versions you will can:
- Generate a report about how much you spend on the month;
- Assign a place where you bought those items from the list;
- Use a widget to quick see a list;
- Use the application on both portrait and landscape mode (yeap, currently not supported =/)
- Compare how much you paid for an item in another buy, when buying the current list;
- Add already registered items when creating a new list;
- Use tags for the items/lists/places;
- And much more (I hope).
Wait just some more time while I finish this first version.
Take a look on the current screenshots:
I (for unknown reasons) resolved to update the bios, what gave me a lot of problems when it bricked my laptop =/. So, after 4 days on research (and some hours to do a backup, when no hope was left), I tried a last alternative, that you can follow below, with my commentaries in yellow:
Replace the BIOS.WPH file with your notebook BIOS file, extracted from Lenovo BIOS update webpage. Rename your BIOS file to BIOS.WPH. — I got v2.53
1) Create the CRISIS disk using USB flash drive
2) Make sure your notebook is power off — I also removed the battery and the AC cable
3) Plug in the CRISIS disk to your Lenovo notebook
4) Press "Fn"+"R" key
5) While holding the "Fn"+"R" key — I inserted the AC now — , press power button
6) The notebook should power on and USB stick light showing activity
7) Stop pressing "Fn"+"R" key, after you see USB stick blinking LED
8) Your notebook should automatically restart with working BIOS in 2-3 minutes. — For me, I needed to put the battery again
VERY IMPORTANT: Do not take off your battery!! It seems that before flashing, it verify AC/DC connection and battery level. If one of them is not ok, then reflash is stopped. — Yes, I know it now
And now my lenovo g550 returns from the death o/
Thanks for My Digital Life forum, and you can get Wincris from this link (it contains the lenovo v2.53 bios that I used, but I recommed you to get it from the site, extract and override mine)
Off course, I do not give you a warranty that this method will work for you… just worked for me, and I'm happy by not having to call the service
Good luck!
Após muito tempo, finalmente to dando uma atualizada por aqui. Muitas coisas aconteceram, mudei de emprego, casei… Esse é o ano! Também estou montando um servidor GIT pessoal que em breve disponibilizarei alguns projetos meus de forma pública, a fim de ajudar alguém, se esse alguém estiver interessado, hehe. Ah sim, também mudei o endereço deste blog. Agora é blog.thecoreme.org, sendo que os meus projetos podem ser facilmente acessados por projects.thecoreme.org. E acabei de uma vez com o The CoRE, afinal, estava sem tempo de manter ele mesmo…
Por hora é isso. Espero daqui alguns dias postar novidades e voltar a trabalhar em meus projetos, além de continuar estudando no meu mestrado, obviamente…
Well, just forget to post this techno remix that I made for the Washing Machine Self Destructs video. Enjoy :p
This is a new video for my KDE game project, KWarBots. Here you can see some game objects/items with colors (the color can be changed on the map file, so it's customizable when creating the map).
There the robot collides on this simple maze and always choose the left path to follow. It's sufficient to demonstrate it for now.
If you are curious about the code to control the robot, it's time to see this small piece of the robot code, used on this video:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | #!/usr/bin/env kross import sys import Robot def main(): if (Robot.isMoving() == False): Robot.moveForward(); if (Robot.collided() == True): Robot.turnLeft(); |
Yes, it's just it! And finally, the video:

Even through strawberries taste decadent, sweet, and delicious, 1 cup of strawberries contains just 50 calories and 8 grams of sugar making them a dynamite food for those of us on low sugar plans for...

January is all about Juicing and Cleansing here at Healthy Blender Recipes in order to get a healthy start to the new year. My motto this year? "Let's Get Clean and Green in 2013!"

I wish I had ordered more as I have had to give one away already. Perfect size and color so it is easily found and not confused with a regular ink pen, can also use hook the stylus inside of pocket or purse. I use it with my iphone.
I love using these on my kindle....it's always ready for use cause it clips right on to the cover I have. Gave one as a gift too.
Useful for old folks with big thumbs. Good price.
We use it with our Square Reader on our iPhone for our B & B. Works well. Just what we wanted.
I bought on price and should not have. I thought it would be great to have three stylus, one in purse, one at home, and one spare. Well, the quality just isn't there. VERY lightweight and the tip stops working after light to medium use. Cheaply made is obvious when I first held stylus in my hand. Keep your reputation intact and stop selling this item is my advice.
My only complaint about these pens are that they are a lot smaller than I thought they would be. Everything else was good.
I only received 2 pens both were miniature. I'm not sure i order anything again

fast service from flipkart . packaging in a bubble bag
about the product :
nice product with simple and fast operation.robust design,
good quality power cord , marking for level inside the kettle(cordless),heating element -covered .
in the box:
manual, bill of purchase ,warranty card , strainer,kettle, base with attached power cord .
I have purchased this mainly for heating water for sterilisation purposes and not for tea making purposes.I must admit i have made the best choice so far.
This kettle can heat the water to its boiling point in under 3-4 minutes and you can the steam coming out of the kettle's mouth.THe machine switches off itself once the temperature is achieved.
Since this require high power, the boiling happens in a jiffy. And the detachable base with power cord helps to easily place the kettle to start boiling.Main jug is portable so you can keep it wherever you want to while still maintaining the temperature of its contents for a while.
Be careful not to touch the sides of the kettle as it is always hot due to metallic content.
I also have Inalsa kettle with 1100 W power and it takes more than 6-8 minutes to boil the water.Even though it looks like plastic body on the outside, it still is hot once the boiling is completed.
Overall, I am very satisfied with this product and would recommend this to those who would like to have steaming hot water in less than 3 minutes.
Coming to the flipkart service, I ordered the product on Monday midnight at 1 AM and noticed the delivery time to be 4-5 days but was eagerly waiting for this product.Surprisingly it was delivered to my house the next day at 1.30 PM. i.e a TAT of just 36 hours.
Good job Flipkart...Keep rocking!!!
If you are planning to buy an excellent quality tea maker which not only prepares the tea in less time comparing to gas and ofcourse with a very good taste too, then pls go for it.
Boiling of water takes about 3 min and the switch shut off automatically once the desired temp is achieved.
We can open the lid (by pressing the blue button at top) with bare hands as it (the top) does not get hot while in use.
Brewing function is awesome. (This is specially made for the preparation of tea)
After adding milk, be careful that if you switch on the main button which is located at the top of handle itself then open the lid also as now the automatic button doesn't switch off itself once the boiling is achieved (atleast for us). First time when we prepare tea in this kettle then it didn't work and the tea overflows from the kettle onto the slab and then after we didn't try checking it again.
Initially we were going to purchase electric kettle for preparing tea but they lack brew function in them so we finally make our mind on this product and now fully satisfied.
Overall a very very good product.
I bought this thinking that expensive means high quality. Some observations. First, it really heats up, so you have to be careful to open the lid after boiling water. The lid opens when you press a blue plastic button, which for some reason is right on top, and is obviously very hot! Second, it stopped working after 4 months of mild use. I much liked the quick and very expert response from the repair staff (Bajaj handles this), but the conclusion was that the switch was defective. I wonder what this implies for the quality of the product.
I bought this electric kettle cum tea maker as a gift for my mother from a store. Few good things:
* Boils water instantly
* Since my mother is an avid tea drinker and loves treating her guests with a cup of tea, the brew function is superb; can be used for re heating the tea and extracts flavor from tea leaves perfectly
* The cylindrical body (and non tapering mouth) means easy cleaning and de-scaling
* Although they supply an external tea strainer as part of package, you do not need it at all as the internal removable strainer filters out all the tea leaves
* Cordless means freedom of carrying around
* The base station cord is long enough even if the power socket is far away
My mother is very happy with it and has already put the old electric kettle to grave.

(WICHITA, Kan.)

HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) — Hutchinson police are investigating the seventh vandalism at a city church since late March.
Police say windows were broken and a money box was stolen Wednesday at Trinity United Methodist Church.
Pastor Mike McGuire was he is thankful the vandals didn't do more damage or steal more items from the church.
The Hutchinson News reports that in the six previous break-ins, vandals stole several items but also caused damage to some of the churches by causing flooding or spraying fire extinguishers.
"Unfortunately churches today have to consider themselves targets like everyone else," said Pastor Quentin Moore.
The Father's House is the fourth church vandalized in more than a month.
"These are tough times and people are looking to help themselves- and whoever's doing this-- may God's grace be on them," said Moore.
The first happened March 28 at the Tenth Avenue United Methodist Church when someone plugged up toilets causing flooding. The second happened at Grace Episcopal. There was damage and theft there. The third happened at the Eastwood Church of Christ where vandals sprayed fire extinguishers all over the place.
Much like last week, vandals broke in through a window, but this time they didn't get very far.
The church's last break-in was about 13 years ago and church council wised up placing motion detectors all around the building.
"This room is as far as they can get. If they move outside this room all the alarms go off. Once that beeping starts then you know that you're caught," said Moore.
It kept their most valuable possessions safe. Pastor Moore says only a window was broken and a ten dollar bill was taken this time--
"I feel fairly fortunate that the wisdom of our church council was able to see that to avoid these issues," said Moore.
He and other pastors meet weekly and Moore hopes to set an example for other churches. In the meantime police have beefed up patrol around Hutchinson churches. While they're following up on leads, they say it's about being at the right place at the right time to make the arrest.
"If you see anyone in the vicinity of the church either in the parking lot or close to the building, call 9-1-1 immediately so we can go and talk to them. if we can be there at that right time we can make an arrest," said Hutchinson detective Darrin Cox.

Our ongoing research includes the study of climate variability, extreme events, and the role of the oceans.
A 2 page summary of our results to date, aimed primarily at the media, is available by clicking here.
More technical results, meant primarily for scientists, are presented below.
Berkeley Earth has just released analysis of land-surface temperature records going back 250 years, about 100 years further than previous studies. The analysis shows that the rise in average world land temperature globe is approximately 1.5 degrees C in the past 250 years, and about 0.9 degrees in the past 50 years.
Land temperature with 1- and 10-year running averages. The shaded regions are the one- and two-standard deviation uncertainties calculated including both statistical and spatial sampling errors. Prior land results from the other groups are also plotted. The NASA GISS record had a land mask applied; the HadCRU curve is the simple land average, not the hemispheric-weighted one.
The annual and decadal land surface temperature from the BerkeleyEarth average, compared to a linear combination of volcanic sulfate emissions and the natural logarithm of CO2. It is observed that the large negative excursions in the early temperature records are likely to be explained by exceptional volcanic activity at this time. Similarly, the upward trend is likely to be an indication of anthropogenic changes. The grey area is the 95% confidence interval.

The Ceramic Pet Fountain.
Unlike plastic pet fountains that develop cracks, this drinking fountain is made from durable, nonporous glazed ceramic that mitigates bacteria growth. Ceramic resists bacteria (commonly found on porous plastic surfaces) that cause acne on a pet's mouth and chin.
The ceramic drinking fountain is dishwasher-safe, enabling simple, thorough cleaning. The fountain has an integrated pump that draws water from the basin to the top of the dome where it pools and cascades back into the reservoir. The falling stream attracts pets with the sound of trickling water and entices them to drink more often--a practice that can reduce the pet's risk of kidney disease and urinary tract infection.
A charcoal filter removes impurities responsible for unpleasant tastes and odors in water. The fountain has a 72-oz. capacity and the filter lasts up to 30 days.
Plugs into AC.

Re: what are grand gatherings?
It's the gathering of a group, can be friends, and or family. There are minimum requirements, and I'm not positive how small the group can be. Seems like I read somewhere it can be as few as 8?
You select what you want to do, dessert and drinks at one of the viewing spots for Illuminations? Something else? Pay and enjoy.Thank you for being a member of our Secrets Family!!! We are so very pleased to have you with us!
If you haven't joined yet, do register. It's a great place to make friends and share all those Disney secrets!!
Re: what are grand gatherings?
The minimum group size is 8, and 75% or 80% have to be staying onsite at one of the WDW resorts. They don't have to be at the same resort.
There are several events available. Johnie was nice enough to let Leu and I crash their Grand Gathering in 2006 and we thoroughly enjoyed the Wishes Pirate Cruise!
There is information on the official Disney site. I have dial-up and the site is graphics intensive, so I avoid it as much as possible!
Re: what are grand gatherings?
For our upcoming trip, we're doing the Safari Celebration Dinner grand gathering. I believe that we're using a dinner credit (or two) for this experience, since we have the free dining..

HOOVER, Ala. | OK, Day 1 is in the books. I saw Spencer Hall in a white suit, listened to Steve Spurrier crack wise about journalists and Ole Miss, heard Gary Pinkel defend the Big 12, learned about a forthcoming documentary on former MSU head coach Sylvester Croom, and oh Missouri receiver T.J. Moe killed it.
To the highlights!
• No further elaboration on Hall's suit is needed, because you had to be there (you can sorta see it in this picture). As for Spurrier, he was his usual fun self.
First, the money quote, when asked about South Carolina's schedule: "You think I make out the schedule? If I made the schedule, Georgia would be playing LSU and we'd be playing Ole Miss."
Spurrier also made his pitch for an eight-team playoff, featuring the six BCS conference champions and two at-large teams. Of course, because it makes so much sense, "It's not going to happen."
Spurrier generally likes the media (I think), because he pokes fun all the time. Today he said, "Told my wife as I was leaving, I said, 'You know what, I've been to this thing 20 years now.' But you guys have been here 30, 40 years, some of you. They don't fire media people, we found that out."
No, they don't, they just exclude them from restructuring plans.
• Pinkel, Missouri's coach, was asked by me (and others) about moving from the Big 12. I wanted to know whether the Tigers' SEC opener against Georgia on Sept. 8 (in Columbia) was of extra importance in regards to earning respect and making an early statement.
"Normally (you) never talk about a game other than your first game, ever," Pinkel said. "We understand historically for the University of Missouri it's going to be a big game, the first SEC game, the first SEC home game for our university."
He also had to defend the honor of the Big 12, from which Mizzou defected.
"People act like we've been playing a bunch of high school teams. We've played in a pretty big league."
• I did a blog entry already to the Croom documentary, and I can tell you it will likely air in September. Again, you can read more in tomorrow's Journal. By the way, I've seen some interesting fan reaction to this news on Twitter.
• Missouri is a welcome addition to the league, if for no other reason than Moe. As mentioned above, the kid was a riot during his interview session. The best of many good quotes, when asked about the SEC: "They also have prettier girls, the air is fresher, the toilet paper is thicker." Only three-ply allowed in the SEC, man.
I'll have some Moe audio on tomorrow's Bulldog Beat, as he talks about adjusting to the SEC and the importance of the Georgia game.
• Also speaking today were Vanderbilt coach James Franklin and new Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin. Franklin continued to preach how great a fit Vanderbilt is for kids who want to excel both on the field and in the classroom. "If you're truly the best and the brighest, where else would you go?"
Sumlin, meanwhile, was asked about playing in the SEC Western Division. His reply was blunt: "What's my assessment? It's a pretty d**n hard league."

Beer and Wine Sales Begin in Benton County
By: Kyle Leyenberger, KNWA-TV, Fayetteville
Updated: January 18, 2013
"I never thought I'd see it here but I just bought some," says Gary Avans of Rogers. "I just bought alcohol in Rogers, Arkansas, which is awesome."
Voters approved retail alcohol sales in November, and dozens of beer and wine permits were issued Wednesday.
By Thursday, sales were up and running at eight Kum & Go locations starting at 7 a.m. and other businesses spent the day stocking coolers to get in on the action.
Avans is happy he won't have to waste gas driving to Washington County or Missouri to stock up, and he's excited to see millions in added tax revenue staying in Benton County.
"We'll get more business around here and we'll be able to keep our dollar here in our town instead of having to spend it somewhere else," he says.
While beer and wine are on the shelves, full blown liquor stores probably won't show up until summer.

The Hamlet Senior Center is gearing up for a special barbecue and bake sale fundraiser, set to be held between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Friday.
The barbecue, which was also held last year, is sponsored by the board of the Senior Games of Richmond County.
According to Pete Wheeler, a Senior Games coordinator, the barbecue will be prepared by Seaboard Station of Hamlet.
"They provide us with our opening ceremony meal every year as a donation, so we stay with them," she said. "They do an excellent job. I know they cook Boston butt and chop it up, so I know it's a good thing."
Plates are $7 each, and the center will deliver orders of 5 or more. Proceeds will go toward the preparations required for the Senior Games.
During the same time, a bake sale will be held by the Hamlet Shakers Cheerleaders. Cakes, pies, cookies, brownies and other baked goods prepared by the cheerleaders will be available during the event. Proceeds from the bake sale will assist the Hamlet Shakers in their future endeavors.
"We've got a lot of things coming up," Wheeler said. "We're going to be cheering at the Hamlet Cheer Day on Dec. 8, and we're also going to be cheering on Dec. 6 at the countywide Senior Christmas Party at Cole Auditorium."
Wheeler added that she particularly enjoyed the fellowship involved in past fundraisers.
"(I like) being able to do something like this to help raise money. There are some awesome seniors down there. Our cheerleaders, we're really close, we have a lot of good times together. This is just one thing we can do to keep the seniors going in this county."

Dear Editor,
At the College, Career Academy town hall meeting on Feb. 11, Troup County Commission Chairman Ricky Wolfe. said their goal was to assure students would graduate and get hired. I thought that was the goal and responsibility of the school system. I don't believe school system's 64 percent graduation rate can be cured by throwing more money at the problem – public or private and, id they don't graduate they probably won't get hired in our troubled and competitive economy.
As a former quality and training manager. I found the most common problem with job applicants getting and keeping a job, was the lack of basic reading, writing and math skills. Even those who do graduate don't always have sufficient reading, writing and math skills to be able to read job requirements, specification sheets and to fill out their production records. The school system has failed them in rudimentary skills.
The point was also made that for this to work, they would need the participation of the parents. It seems to me if you want parental participation, you don't close neighborhood schools and transport students half way across the country. Maybe the school system doesn't want much participation.
I have always heard that an elephant is a mouse designed by a committee. I don't think we need another committee-driven bureaucracy creating an elephant to get between the student and the teacher who is trying to teach the skills they will need. Obviously, there were qualified people from other areas nearby to fill those jobs for which our local people could not qualify. And, I can't believe that they all attended a College, Career Academy charter school.
Mike Waller,

There is a way to make your music sound better. Well, OK, there are LOTS of ways to make your music sound better. If you're looking to improve your digital music, beyond new speakers, amps, and so on is a bit of technological wonder called the DAC, or Digital/Analog Converter. This is what turns your music files into something analog you can actually hear.
Receivers these days tend to have built in DACs, but just because they're there doesn't necessarily mean they're any good. A great sounding DAC can smooth out your digital audio, making it sound more natural and realistic.
Firestone Audio's tiny ILTW packs a lot into a tiny frame, for not a lot of money.
First, the name. On the box and the DAC itself, you'll find a cryptic designation: "I <3 TW."
That's a heart, by the way (turn your head 90 degrees to the right). I've also seen it written as iLove TW, I LOVE Taiwan, and I L TW. I'm going to stick with ILTW as it's the least annoying to type.
As you can gather, Firestone is a proudly Taiwanese company, and like their frenemies across the strait, they tend to make cool, technologically advanced gear for small money. The ILTW certainly has the goods on paper. It's an asynchronous DAC, meaning it doesn't rely on your computer's clock to generate its signal. This is a good thing, and most high-end DACs today do something to minimize the computer's clock's effect on the audio. Inside is a Wolfson WM8740 chipset.
It's a tiny thing, actually, maybe the size of three decks of cards, stacked. The top lights up with a backlit line drawing of island of Taiwan and the word "Taiwan." I guess they really love Taiwan. Oh, wait, that's the name of the. . . I get it.
The back panel has just a USB input and a stereo pair of analog outputs. The Ethernet cable is for connecting to other Firestone Audio equipment, not for network use.
For testing I used a Simaudio 340i integrated amp, which has the dual benefit of being a great sounding amp and having its own excellent built-in USB DAC for comparison. I used a pair of KEF Q300 bookshelf speakers, which sound great and I know quite well.
The ILTW is the least expensive DAC I've reviewed. Even if it weren't, direct comparisons are difficult as iTunes/MediaMonkey must be shut down and restarted every time you switch a DAC. So there's a significant A-to-B delay, rendering comparisons suspect in the best of circumstances. That caveat said, going back and forth numerous times I'll offer that the built-in DAC in the 340i sounded a little more open, while the ILTW had a slightly smoother midrange. The Simaudio DAC was a bit more "natural" sounding, but the ILTW has little of the brittle harshness typical of lesser DACs I've heard in most mid- and low-end receivers.
Where the ILTW shoots above its class is in the high-resolution arena. After installing the included drivers, you can send the ILTW up to 192 kHz/24-bit audio. Such audio isn't common, unless you frequent a site like HDtracks.com. That'll cost you, though — the main problem I have with HDtracks is that it doesn't let you buy many individual tracks. iTunes this isn't, as in most cases you're forced to spend $30 or so on an entire album. What is this, the Dark Ages? Maybe I only want "The Girl from Ipanema" and not all of Getz/Gilberto. Maybe I already own Jerry Garcia, David Grisma, and Tony Rice's The Pizza Tapes on CD and only want a few favorite tracks.
Actually, from that last one you can buy certain individual tracks. So I bought (re-bought, technically) "Long Black Veil" and "Rosalee McFall." At 88kHz/24-bit, Grisman's mandolin takes on a whole new level of realism. I also picked up Janos Starker's beautiful 88kHz/24-bit Bach Suites for Solo Cello and 2 Cello Sonatas. Starker's cello had a rich, robust sound that could never be reproduced on any compressed medium.
The ILTW is a great compact, entry-level DAC, with the added bonus of high-resolution digital audio conversion. I imagine there are a lot of people with older or cheaper receivers for which the ILTW would make an excellent upgrade. Check out the Firestone Audio site for US distributors, or you can buy the ILTW on Amazon.
