Home Turf: 1225 Washington Road, Westminster
Head Coach: Brad Wilson (ninth season)
2011 Record: 8-2 overall; 6-1 county (Carroll County champions)
In 2011, Westminster won its first county title in six years by dominating Carroll opponents. The Owls beat their seven county foes by an average score of 41-5, and Carroll's best defense in recent memory posted three shutouts.
But the Owls' forfeit of a 57-7 win over Manchester Valley for using an ineligible player dropped Westminster's record to 8-2 — and cost the county's best team a berth in the Class 4A North Region playoffs.
Don't expect the Owls to look back. The 2012 team is loaded with talent, and should be a strong contender for not only a second straight county title but also its first playoff berth since 2008.
"The pieces are there," said head coach Brad Wilson, entering his ninth year at the helm. "We're in a good place. We've found two systems, offensively and defensively, that fit our kids. In the last two or three years, we've gotten to the point where the difference between our various groups of players has closed. That's what is making us better."
Nine starters return on offense, including three who were among the county's top receivers in 2011. Garrett Bean averaged nearly 20 yards on 30 catches, including 10 for touchdowns. Dan Johnson and Darius Clifton combined for 41 catches, and Clifton's 20.6-yard per-catch average was second in the county.
Seniors Dallas Ducote and Bradley Metcalf should also get their share of catches in an offense that throws the ball frequently. Johnson managed 378 yards on the ground, good for 10th in the county last fall. The Owls also return four starting offensive linemen, led by senior tackle Drew Titus.
Getting the ball to this offensive contingent will be the job of Derek Kern. The senior quarterback saw plenty of game action behind graduated signal-caller Romie Cheese, who threw for a county-leading 1,625 yards and 24 touchdowns in 2011.
"Derek would have started for most of the other teams in the county last year," Wilson said. "Derek's a very good athlete who moves and throws well."
The Westminster defense lost several valuable cogs, including leading tacklers Nate VanderWoude, Dan Bartley, Dan Carder and Chad Diehl. The Owls will also be hurt by the loss of defensive back C.J. Nichols, who tore knee ligaments during the 2012 lacrosse season.
But six starters return to a unit that allowed more than seven points just three times last season, including cornerbacks Brandon Somerville and Jimmy Lauer, linebackers John Morrissey, Dan Johnson and Brian Young, and lineman Travis Kessler.
"Defensively, I expect the same result," Wilson said. "We lost some good football players, but we also have a lot back."
The Owls' schedule features a few changes from past years. While traditional Frederick County rivals Tuscarora, Urbana and Linganore lead off the slate, Westminster won't play Manchester Valley and North Carroll. The Owls replaced the county's Class 1A schools with Martinsburg (W.Va.) and Leonardtown, from St. Mary's County.
Martinsburg, a Class 3A school, is a perennial contender for the West Virginia state championship. While not among the elite programs in Maryland, Leonardtown is a Class 4A opponent. Victories over Martinsburg and Leonardtown would help Westminster pick up more playoff points than triumphs over small schools in the lowest state classification — such as Manchester Valley and North Carroll.

I continue to teach summer school every year, and I fill in occasionally as a long-term substitute as needed. I coached football and track for most of my career as well, so my approach to education has taken on attributes of "coaching" kids through skill-building experiences, rather than merely providing them with declarative knowledge. Adjustments to the evolving standards has never been a problem for me. (I believe the same is likely true for any true professional, by the way.) More often than not, I discover that the "new" requirements suit my methods rather well! The current interest in Common Core Standards is certainly a step forward. Although we still have a long way to go before our nation catches up with other more progressive educational systems of the world, I believe we are still "on the right track." We just need to get this train moving a little faster. See what more I have to say at Wohlsi's Blog!

Gazpacho is a raw, cold soup made with the freshest tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers you can lay your hands on.
This version is spiced up with jalapenos and seasoned with cilantro and limes.
Not only is it a Spanish classic but it's one of the most refreshing, no-cook, summer soups I know of.
You can serve gazpacho as an appetizer shooter-style or kick it up to main dish status with the addition of grilled shrimp or chicken marinated in lime and cilantro.
The silky base of the soup is made of tomatoes, cucumbers, bell pepper and jalapeno pureed along with stale bread, olive oil and lime juice.
For serving it's topped with diced vegetables, croutons and in this case, shrimp.
It's super fast to make and can be made ahead of time, the flavors only intensify further when allowed to mingle overnight. Eating it right away isn't a bad idea either! It has addicting qualities.
Even with the addition of chile peppers it has thirst-quenching, cooling properties that make it the perfect soup for hellish weather.
1. Soak bamboo skewers in water. Meanwhile mix the juice of 1 lime, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon of cilantro, salt and pepper to taste in a shallow dish; add shrimp and turn to coat. Marinate for 1/2 hour.
2. Crush half of the croutons and set aside. Soak remaining croutons in 1/4 cup water about 5 minutes, squeeze out the water and add to blender along with tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper and jalapenos. With the motor running, drizzle in 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add 2 cups ice and blend until smooth. Stir in half of the cilantro and the remaining lime juice; season well with salt and pepper.
3. Skewer the shrimp and grill over medium-high heat until pink and opaque.
4. Divide the soup into bowls. Serve garnished with shrimp, the remaining tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, cilantro and the crushed croutons. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with lime wedges.
(Serves 3-4)
I'm sending this to Deb of Kahakai Kitchen for Souper (Soup, Salad & Sammie) Sundays and linking to Heather of Girlichef for Two for Tuesdays: Celebrate Real Food.

Virginia wants its own currency.
The proposal just passed the Virginia House by a two-to-one margin...
What on earth are these folks thinking? What's the strategy behind blatantly unconsitutional bullshit like this?
Virginia coin moves closer to reality
By Ylan Q. Mui, Feb 05, 2013 04:07 PM EST
Virginia Del. Robert G. Marshall fears that a financial apocalypse is coming and only one thing can save the Commonwealth: its own currency.
The idea that Virginia should consider issuing its own money was dismissed as just another quixotic quest by one of the most conservative members of the state legislature when Marshall introduced it three years ago. But it has since gained traction not only in Virginia, but also in states across the country as Americans have grown increasingly suspicious of the institutions entrusted with safeguarding the economy.
This week, the proposal by the Prince William Republican sailed through the House of Delegates with a two-to-one majority.
This is a serious study about a serious topic, Marshall said Tuesday. Were not completely powerless.
So far, only Utah has approved a law recognizing nontraditional currency. Four other states have bills pending this year. Marshall said he is unsure of his proposals prospects in the Virginia Senate. One Democrat derided it as a descent into la-la land.
But the fact that the debate is happening at all reflects a deep-seated distrust in the very foundation of the countrys economic system the dollar.
Much of the anger is directed at the Federal Reserve, which controls the nations supply of money. Since the financial crisis, the Fed has pumped trillions of dollars into the economy to help avert what Chairman Ben S. Bernanke believed could have been the next Great Depression. Critics worry the Fed wont ever stop.
Marshall believes that the result could resemble the Weimar Republic of Germany after World War I: a worthless currency, skyrocketing inflation and a crumbling government.
And those are only the problems that the Fed might create. Who knows what other threats may be lurking in the shadowy world of cyberattacks, Marshall said. The Fed acknowledged Tuesday that its computer systems were recently compromised, although the problems did not affect critical operations and have since been fixed.
This is a lifeboat study; what happens if? Marshall said.
Mainstream economics maintains that America is in little danger of turning into postwar Germany. Inflation is below 2 percent even though the Fed has tripled the amount of money in circulation since the 2008 financial crisis. Investors view the dollar as a safe haven, buying up greenbacks when turmoil strikes around the globe. A single currency is one of the bedrock assumptions of modern economics.
But that doesnt mean Virginia shouldnt be ready, Marshall and his supporters believe. His proposal would create a 10-member commission to study the need, means, and schedule for establishing a metallic-based monetary unit to serve as a contingency currency for the Commonwealth. The study would cost $17,440.
The resolution is pretty modest, said Lawrence H. White, a George Mason University economics professor who said he supports the proposal as a private citizen. Its consider the idea.
White doesnt subscribe to the doomsday scenario, but hes no optimist, either. He predicted that the inflation rate would rise to 5 percent before the end of the decade and eventually reach 10 percent.
I think the most effective way to send a message is to say youre prepared to do something, White said. I view it as a kind of state-level expression of concern about the uncharted course the Federal Reserve has been on in monetary policy.
Some members of Congress have also denounced what they considered Fed overreach. Texas libertarian Ron Pauls book End the Fed hit No. 6 on the New York Times bestsellers list in 2009. A campaign by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) dubbed Audit the Fed culminated in a report by the Government Accountability Office highlighting potential conflicts of interest within the institution.
Efforts to establish alternative currencies amount to an economists version of a Fed boycott. But how the system would actually work remains murky. States do not have the constitutional authority to print money, but Marshall believes a potential loophole exists that could allow states to coin silver and gold.
Utahs law recognizes coins minted by the federal government from precious metals, intended for use as investments or collectibles, to be used as legal tender anywhere in the state. One Utah company even advertises the coins for use in 401(k) retirement plans.
Although the law hasnt changed whats in most residents wallets, the measure became the poster child for those calling for a return to the days when money derived its value from gold. Today, money is backed by the authority of the U.S. government.
Economist Bernard Lietaer, author of Rethinking Money, pointed out that a host of informal currencies have proved widely popular in the United States. For example, he said, there are 50 trillion airline frequent-flier miles in circulation, far surpassing the number of dollar bills.
The benefit of a single currency has been drilled into our heads for about 300 years, Lietaer said. Im still looking for a book of economics that drops this assumption.
And of course, there is the open question of what a Virginia coin would look like. A tongue-in-cheek prototype made the rounds at an annual dinner in Richmond for lawmakers and the media two years ago. It was a wooden nickel, stamped with Marshalls likeness and emblazoned with the motto In Bob We Trust.

It's an interesting idea. I hope the issue passes. They aren't voting on actually issuing currency, just voting on commissioning a study to consider the concept.

Well, that was fun.
Senate scraps Marshall's bid for doomsday dollar
BY MARKUS SCHMIDT AND OLYMPIA MEOLA Richmond Times-Dispatch Richmond Times-Dispatch
Posted: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 4:16 pm | Updated: 7:29 am, Wed Feb 20, 2013.
The U.S. dollar will remain the only legal tender in the commonwealth for now. The Virginia Senate today killed a House proposal that would have established a joint subcommittee to study the feasibility "of a metallic-based monetary unit" as an alternative to the dollar.
The cost of the study was estimated at $17,440.
After lawmakers on both sides of the aisle urged the defeat of House Joint Resolution 590, sponsored by Del. Robert G. Marshall, R-Prince William,Ö the Senate dispatched the resolution on a voice vote.
Marshall had suggested that the state create its own currency to compete with the dollar. "It would be an additional vehicle of trade and commerce," he said in an interview earlier this month.
Marshall's proposal, which the House had passed by a two-thirds vote, attracted national notoriety because the Republican had said that he wanted to prepare Virginia for the impact of a major financial meltdown, caused by hyperinflation, cyber attacks on banks and the Federal Reserve's increasing control over the nation's money supply.
"It seems to me we're facing a serious question: do we want to be ridiculed on 'Saturday Night Live' again? I suggest we don't and that we vote against the resolution," Sen. Janet D. Howell, D-Fairfax said today.
The House measure had been amended once it came to the Senate to state that nothing in the resolution should be interpreted as permitting the joint subcommittee to consider or develop the establishment of an alternative currency for Virginia.
"A lot of the debate that we heard from a well-respected economist was in issues relating to cyber security and monetary policy," said Sen. Ryan T. McDougle, R-Hanover, who chairs the Senate committee that advanced the legislation.
He mentioned at one point that he would yield "to discuss the bill that I did not introduce."
Sen. John Watkins, R-Powhatan, said "We've got a lot of issues that we're trying to deal with in this legislature, and this is not one of them."
Michael Smitka, professor of economics at Washington and Lee University, had criticized Marshall's doomsday-scenarios as not being grounded in reality.

It says pretty clearly in the article:

The Mankato MoonDogs Baseball Club, a member of the Northwoods League, is excited to announce the commitment of pitchers Jess Amedee and Alex Estrella, along with outfielder Timothy Arakawa for the 2013 MoonDogs season.
The Mankato MoonDogs Baseball Club, a member of the Northwoods League, is excited to announce the commitment of pitchers Jess Amedee and Alex Estrella, along with outfielder Timothy Arakawa for the 2013 MoonDogs season.
Amedee, a 6-foot-1-inch, 205-pound sophomore of Central Arizona College is beginning his first season as a Vaquera after transferring from the University of Northern Colorado where he pitched a freshman leading 59.2 innings. While at Northern Colorado, Amedee accumulated the second most wins on the team with five.
"Jess is an upper 80's guy that throws a really nice breaking ball and his ability to throw strikes will serve as an asset to the MoonDogs pitching staff," said Field Manager Mike Orchard.
The right-hander has signed a letter of intent to play for the University of Texas-Arlington this fall.
Estrella, a 5-foot-11-inch, 155-pound sophomore attending the University of New Mexico, started his career with the Lobos in a relief position with six appearances as a freshmen. The left-hander finished his first season with a 2.89 ERA after 9.1 innings of work and allowing only one run in his last eight innings pitched. As a sophomore, Estrella is posting a 3.78 ERA after 16.2 innings completed, striking out 11 batters.
"Alex is a versatile pitcher that comes from a good program and he should see 30-40 games this spring, which will help bring confidence to the MoonDogs," said Orchard.
Arakawa, a 5-foot-8-inch, 170-pound sophomore is in his second season at Yavapai College (Prescott, Ariz.). The Honolulu native was named Second Team All-Conference his freshmen season after maintaining a .355 batting average, and recording 3 home runs, 35 RBIs and 31 stolen bases out of 37 attempts. The left-hander is currently hitting .345 with one home run and 17 RBIs for the Roughriders this spring.
"Tim is tough to strike out and he's an athletic runner that has potential to steal a lot bases for the MoonDogs this summer," said Orchard. "He's capable of playing both the outfield and infield, which provides flexibility to our defense."
Arakawa has signed a letter of intent to play for Oklahoma State University this fall.

The perfect shrug?
Added Jun 18, 2011
by ichigogirl
Stockholm, Sweden
This is actually not my own design, it's a copy of a shrug I got a few years ago at one of the big highstreet clothing chains. It's quite a clever design though!
The pattern is basically a T, and there are only two seams. It folds perfectly flat, and it's actually a nice shrug too!
I've graded the pattern to fit size 30-46, see the size-chart on the pattern and in the instructions to be sure about the size (it's slightly different from the Burdastyle size chart).
Material Notes
Cotton jersey, a GENUINE 1980's fabric that I got in the early 90's, left at my parents place when I moved out, and then forgot about. My mum gave it to me this easter and it's actually back in fashion again!
I love the colour and it's very comfortable to wear.
The best thing? I've got a few meters of it…. :-)

Hi, I just made the shrug and the greatest stretch is not across the body but lengthwise. I made it out a stretchy ribbed fabric. I thought I must had made a mistake and rechecked the pattern, but no this is how it says to cut out the pattern. Is this a mistake on the Burda pattern instructions? It clearly says to have the greatest stretch along the fold which is the length of the shrug. Hardly any stretch and very difficult to get off.
Jun 7, 2016, 01.38 PMby Netta Brandt
I tried this. It took me 19 minutes in all. Cutting the fabric, sewing the seams and I even had time to hem it. Very nice design and couldn't be easier to make.
Thank you.
Btw. I have also used your other patterns and instructions and they are awesome. :)

Very frustrated. Trying to download the pattern so I can piece it together but all I get are the instructions. I know the pattern PDF exists as I was able to access it but didn't print it. I now have about 8 copies of the download in my library but can't find the pattern PDF on any of them. What am I doing wrong?

Has anyone tried this in stretch lace for an evening cover-up? (like Giselle stretch lace from fabric.com). I may give it a go.

I cannot figure out how to print the pattern to normal size and two print shops can't figure it out either. :( Were you able to print it?

Hey, does it really need to be a stretchy fabric? I have this perfect absolutely no-no-strech-at-all that I'd like to turn into a shrug

Yes, I think it does. The sleeves will turn out too tight in a woven fabric, but if you tweak the pattern a bit it might work. Good luck!

Hey a friend of mine used your pattern to make her shrug, but I can't print out the measurements on p.2, what is it for size 10 USA? :D

Check it out here instead of printing:-): http://www.burdastyle.com/projects/the-perfect-shrug/instructions/2
The measurements are in cm's, there are great conversion-tools online if you need it in inches or something else. Good luck!

I actually have a crochet pattern that turns out identical to the one in the pic if you'd like it. I found it online and am in the middle of making it…so far, so good!!!
Jul 14, 2011, 06.52 PMby ivorykohl
I would love a link to the crochet pattern. I've already started trying to re-create it, but a pattern would be good to compare what I'm doing to what I should be doing.

Ah! Of course, that's like the obvious idea for a beginner knitter like me, I knit scarves only. A square piece for a shrug would be the perfect step two (I have made mittens before). Thanks for mentioning it, I didn't think of it myself.
Strange with the comments, it looks perfectly normal. Hm.

There was a time when accessing the Internet was about marching into a library, finding a computer and opening Netscape. It was a slow and disparate assemblage of websites, but the common theme was always good: information.
Jump forward to the present day and internet services are piped into every pocket. We're looking at new, faster, easier ways to access some of that very same information with mobile devices, as the message that content is king gets rammed home time and again.
We're not always using those original sources to get to what we want to read: we're repackaging and reformatting content to fit to the devices we're now using. That's where we land with today's App of the Day, which wants to make a digital magazine out of your favourite sites.
Google Currents
- Platform
- Android/iPhone/iPad
- Price
- Free
- Where
- Android Market
Digital magazines are nothing new and many print publications have flirted with things like restrictive PDFs before a more dynamic route became available. Now we have dedicated apps for print publications, as well more enhanced apps that create, or present online content in a format more like a lifestyle magazine and less like a boring RSS feed.
Of course, boring feeds have everything to do with Google Currents, as that's essentially what supplies much of the information. The neat thing about Google Currents, however, is that Google have given publishers the tools they need to quickly and easily create a Google Currents edition of their own content.
So that means that unlike some RSS reader apps, you won't get a selection of content that's essentially the same in its presentation, but publishers will be able to add variation to make their content more engaging. You also don't have to spend your time zooming in and out of a page just to read the words.
At the time of launch there are a range of titles you can choose from and glancing down the "Featured" list you'll find the likes of Forbes, Popular Science, The Guardian and The Daily Beast. Some of these populate your "subscriptions" when you install the app to get you started.
Beyond that you can browse for titles organised by category (News, Business, Design, etc.), although down at the bottom of the list you get some more interesting options. You have Google Reader in there, so it will pick-up the content of your existing feeds and offer to add those, and Curators where you can add shared content from particular character's feeds (and it appears to be Google+ behind it).
If it is a straight RSS feed that you want to view in Currents, then adding it to Google Reader first is the way to do it, as there is no direct option to add a source, but it's nice that anyone with a feed can get in on the action.
There are also trending stories where you can see what it getting a lot of attention. You can also subscribe to these trending lists, so if you are interested in trending topics in technology, you'll get that as a section in your "trending" tab.
So, head into title and you'll find the basic format is similar: a large left-hand image and then stories to the right for you to click through and read. Some titles have sections, so if you head into The Guardian, for example, you'll find Business, Sports and Videos sections to separate content, with News, World and UK getting teaser stories.
The basic format of each story is essentially the same, which is where Google Currents starts to look more like a feed regurgitator again and less like a designed magazine app. In-line images will come through and videos are also picked up, playing via the YouTube app on your device.
Content works in both landscape and portrait and this makes it fit better on both tablets and mobile phones. We like the fact that on tablets the text runs into columns for easy reading and swiping through the story is slick. You can also open up an image gallery if you only want to look at the pictures. There is a pop-up Contents for faster browsing, so save you flicking through all the content if you prefer.
In these early days it's difficult to see just how far publishers will be able to go with designing for Google Currents to really give it a magazine look and feel. There certainly is some scope for differentiation having looked at the publisher end of things, but we'd like to be able to add in some more funky stuff, which hopefully will become an option.
Google Currents relies on syncing and you get options to set the syncing for Wi-Fi only if you want to save your mobile data allowance. You can also tweak the image syncing or set it to only sync when charging.
Syncing frequency only offers 6, 12 or 24 hours and we'd really like to be able to set syncing to start at a particular time, so you know you have content when heading out of the door for the daily commute, for example. The downside is that Google Currents will compile data and at the time of writing we have over 100MB in data for the app - that's not huge, but worth keeping an eye on.
Overall, Google Currents is a little closer to Flipboard than it is Pulse, although they're all working along the same lines. The feature that's likely to see Currents grow in popularity is the support that Google is offering for publishers.
Like many of Google's new ventures, Google Currents is only available to those in the US. We suspect this is partly to do with lining up the right content to make the app really shine, but the APK is widely available should you want to take a sneak peek right now. The iOS version is more difficult to come by, so you'll have to wait if you're not in the US.
The app itself is simple, and thanks to good use of white space and sensible layouts, it's easy to read too. We much prefer it on the tablet to the phone, we tested it on the Motorola Xoom, but like all such services it will take you time to set-up the content you really want.

GSU safety Michael Hall enjoys second chance at game
By Ken Sugiura
@ The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Photos @ Georgia State University
Michael Hall arrived at Georgia State to learn to heal injuries, not inflict them.
Serious and bright, Hall enrolled in the fall of 2007, when a football team at the school was merely an idea. Hall had helped his high school claim a state championship as a senior, but he put the game in his past. He wanted to become a doctor.
But football called, and Hall eventually answered. Four autumns removed from his previous football season, Georgia State's aspiring physical therapist also is a punishing member of the special teams.
Looking back to when he first learned GSU would have a team, Hall said, "It never occurred to me that I'd be in this situation today, actually on the team."
Hall likely will be on the field plenty for the Panthers' game Saturday at Campbell, the team's fourth game in school history. He plays on three of the four special-teams units and plays safety on some passing-down packages.
"He's a great tackler, and he can play," safety Brandon Jones said. Also, "He uses a lot of medical terms and a lot of big words."
Hall arrived at Georgia State from Dublin intent on experiencing college life. The first person in his immediate family to attend a four-year college, he pledged a fraternity and joined a variety of student organizations. He worked part-time jobs and volunteered. And while he cried while watching football as a freshman, his football days were behind him. He had helped Dublin High to a share of the 2006 Class AA championship -- the Irish tied with Charlton County High in the final -- but even when Georgia State announced in April 2008 that it would field a team, he wasn't interested.
Hall, the younger of two children of a single mother who had joined the Army to support her family, was determined to follow the path he had laid out for himself.
"He has always been shooting for the stars from day one," said Hall's mother, Debra Cooper.
But the more he learned about the team, the more he became interested. He had known about coach Bill Curry, for example, because Hall was an Alabama fan, and Curry had coached there.
Last fall, Hall went to an open tryout and ran the 40-yard dash in 4.5 seconds despite having hardly exercised since coming to college. He was offered a spot on the team, and later Curry offered him a half-scholarship.
"For the most part, I did feel like I was reneging on what I came here for, I really did," Hall said. "But I love the game, so it's kind of like, what do you say?"
Hall has been surprised by football's time demands, but it hasn't stopped him from taking 18 hours and also helping charter a campus group that seeks to support exercise-science students. Hall, who holds a 3.3 GPA as an exercise-science major, compensates by typically getting about five hours of sleep.
He is on track to graduate by the end of next summer and plans to apply to Emory and Georgia State's physical-therapy schools and Emory's nutrition program for his doctorate. He is a junior and has a season remaining, but is keeping quiet about playing next year.
Hall has relished the laughing and joking with teammates and the chance to showcase his hard work in front of thousands. On Georgia State's first kickoff in the opener -- Hall's first play in four years -- he outran teammates to make the first tackle in school history. He calls playing football again "a blessing."
Some decisions, it would seem, are worth reversing.
"I'm not old or anything, but to sit out of something for that long, you would think that you would think that you wouldn't be able to bounce back, but I bounced back," Hall said. "I'm surprised."

Hi group:
Here's a Tuesday morning cine-trivia question for you all: I'm putting
together a videography of movies that involve social class. I already
have a labor movies vid, so what I'm looking for are films in which the
conflict, or relationship between social classes is a predominant plot
point. Here's what I have so far:
Alice Adams
All that Heaven Allows
Ball of Fire
Born Yesterday
Boudu Saved From Drowning
The Breakfast Club
Down and Out in Beverly Hills
My Fair Lady
My Man Godfrey
A Place in the Sun
Pretty in Pink
Pretty Woman
Ruggles of Red Gap
Rules of the Game
Stella Dallas
What am I missing????
Gary Handman
Media Resources Center
Moffitt Library
UC Berkeley
"I have always preferred the reflection of life to life itself."
--Francois Truffaut
VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.

New Car Review Video
2013 Lexus CT200h: 5 Reasons to Buy - Video
The 2013 Lexus CT200h hybrid is the perfect luxury car for these eco-conscious times. Although "luxury" used to be synonymous with "gas-guzzler," the CT200h is incredibly fuel efficient, sipping fuel like an economy car while still providing a premium ownership experience. If it sounds like the CT's priorities match your own, check out our five reasons to give this Lexus a look.
1. Amazing Fuel Economy
Without a doubt, luxury cars are getting more fuel efficient, but it's still rare to find one that does better than 30 miles per gallon. That's why the CT200h's fuel economy is so impressive. Thanks to hybrid technology borrowed from the Toyota Prius, the CT200h gets an incredible 43 mpg city/42 mpg hwy. So no matter what kind of driving you're doing, 40 mpg is almost guaranteed. For overall fuel efficiency, no other luxury car even comes close.
2. Sleek, Modern Interior
Inside the CT200h's upscale cabin, it's clear this is more than just a tarted-up Prius. The central controls and futuristic gear selector sweep toward you like you're in a sports car, and Lexus's unique Remote Touch Interface gives you mouse-like access to the flip-up infotainment screen. What's more, the materials are first-rate, ranking right up there with the stuff Lexus puts in its top-of-the-line luxury sedans. And if you get the F Sport package, Lexus also throws in aluminum pedals and special metallic trim on the dash.
3. Sharp Handling
Given its incredible fuel economy, you may worry that the CT hates fun, but that's definitely not the case. With its tight, responsive steering and compact dimensions, this Lexus is one of the most entertaining hybrids on the road, especially with the F Sport's special suspension and 17-inch wheels. It won't make the cover of a car magazine anytime soon, but in real-world situations, the CT200h is actually pretty fun to drive.
4. Practical Hatchback Design
There's a useful 14.3 cu ft of storage behind the CT200h's back seat, but here's the beauty of a hatchback: That's just the beginning. If you fold down those seat backs, you could throw camping gear or even a couple of bikes back there. At this price, you have plenty of luxury sedans to choose from, but hatchbacks are few and far between. That gives the CT200h a distinct advantage, even if you leave aside its fuel-economy edge.
5. Attractively Priced
Starting in the low to mid $30,000s, the CT200h is one of the most affordable luxury cars on the market. If you want an upscale car without the upscale price, the CT is a pretty sweet deal. Indeed, if you add all the options to a Ford Fusion Hybrid or Toyota Camry Hybrid, it'll cost close to CT200h money. Given the choice, we'd find the luxurious Lexus quite tempting.
AutoTrader says: Fuel efficient, fun and luxurious -- that's a killer combination. In this day and age, the 2013 Lexus CT200h is just what a luxury car should be.

SPARTANSBURG, S.C. (October 5, 2005) - The East Tennessee State volleyball team rallied from two games down to defeat Wofford, 3-2, on Wednesday, extending its winning streak to five games. After falling 30-25, 30-20, the Lady Bucs clipped off 30-21, 30-18, and 15-11 victories to steal the win from the Terriers, and improve to 11-5 on the year.
"The win says a lot about the character of the team," said ETSU head coach Lindsey Devine. "When we were down 2-0, we didn't give up and made sure we took control of the match."
The Lady Bucs took control after the 10-minute intermission between games two and three. A trio of ETSU players finished with double-digit kills, including a match-high tying 16 from Sara Scandiffio (Purcellville, Va.). The senior finished with 39 total attacks, a .231 hitting percentage and 18.0 points.
Joining Scandiffio with double-figure kill efforts were Callie Kiselich (Colorado Springs, Colo.) with 13, and Sarah Buhr (Stockton, Calif.) with 12. Both players finished with double-doubles on the evening, adding 22 and 20 digs, respectively.
ETSU setter Jennifer Emerson (Stockton, Calif.) posted 46 assists, while Michelle Mislan (Indianapolis, Ind.) contributed a match-high four service aces, including a stretch of three-in-a-row during game four.
Overall, ETSU registered 10.0 blocks, including a pair of solo stops by Kiselich and Crystal Palmer (Chico, Calif.).
Brittany Thompson paced Wofford with 16 kills, 51 total attacks, 17.5 points and tied Christal Carey for the team-lead with 17 digs. Carey added 12 kills and 49 total attacks on the evening.
Setter Rhea DeJesus finished with 45 assists, while junior Shana Glenn notched three service aces to lead the Terriers, now 7-7.
The win was the second time this season ETSU was able to manage a win over Wofford, after the Lady Bucs downs the Terriers, 3-2, on Sept. 7, in Johnson City. ETSU's five-match winning streak is the best since 2001, when the Lady Bucs rattled off 10-consecutive victories.
ETSU has a pair of home games this weekend, beginning on Saturday, Oct. 8, at 4 p.m. in Brooks Gym. The Lady Bucs are also set to take on North Carolina A&T at home on Sunday, Oct. 9, starting at 2 p.m.

In the single-player game, G-Force scientists have cracked Godzilla's genetic code from samples obtained during the Vortaak invasion. Scientists have refined the code to grow super-enriched "Godzilla-Matter" - a virtually indestructible substance with the exact physical properties as Godzilla's radioactive back spikes. The Vortaak learn of the Godzilla Matter and strike Monster Island in an attempt to steal G-Cells and seize control of Earth's monsters. As Godzilla, the player awakens and fights to stop the UFOs from stealing G-Cells, and to free his fellow monsters from captivity. Throughout the game's missions, Vorticia sends waves of monsters, UFOs, mind-controlled military and earth-threatening devices at Godzilla, who must fight to defeat the enemies and find the hidden G-Cells before the UFOs can steal them.
The epic battle for Earth will range across the globe in more than a dozen massive, destructible city environments, including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Osaka and New York. Environments have been enhanced and enlarged, featuring hills, oceans, harbors and mountains. All structures in the game have advanced destruction mechanics, enabling them to be partially damaged or completely destroyed through multiple impacts. Striking larger buildings will produce dynamically generated gouges that expose the internal skeletal structure before they eventually crumble to the ground.
Both the PlayStation2 and Xbox versions will feature a variety of online multiplayer options for up to four players where gamers can smash, bash and trash opposing monsters and cities in gargantuan online melees. Player will be able to go head-to-head, three- or four-player free-for-all, or team up for two-on-two combat.
Godzilla will face off against more than 18 classic Toho movie monsters, each carefully designed to recreate the authentic film look and feel. Monsters include Godzilla 2000 and 90s, King Ghidorah, Gigan, Mothra, SpaceGodzilla, Biollante and many more.

The Best Microphones for Lead Vocals | Our Big 5
The Best Microphones for Lead Vocals
When it comes to lead vocals, the best singer in the world could sound awful if they haven't used the "right" mic. The mic you choose should depend on the vocalist's voice and what does it justice. Period!
The majority of engineers and producers will usually opt for a condenser microphone for lead vox as opposed to a dynamic or ribbon mic, but there's a lot to be said for these often overlooked two.
Just because everybody says that a certain microphone is the best for female alto's or sounds brilliant on an acoustics' fretboard does not mean that it will for the vocalist or guitarist that you're working with. Choosing a mic with a good reputation is a great starting point when it comes to recording, but you should always do a little experimenting, discover what works well with your source and what doesn't sound so great. That said... you might not want to completely discard the idea of using a dynamic microphone on lead vocals, at least until you've tried a few out for size.
The Big 5
In the realm of lead mics there's something that we call the Big 5. The 5 microphones that are believed by many to be the best for vocals. The Telefunken ELA M251, AKG C12, Neumann M49, U47, U67, U87.
Now, you could ask any engineer in the world if these mics are actually any good and you will most likely get yeses all around, but like we said before, the best mic for "your artist" is a different kettle of fish altogether. Plus, those mics up there will most definitely set you back financially, which is why we're going to give you some wallet-friendly alternatives to get you started with vocal recording.
Our Favourite 5 for Lead Vox
Shure SM58
The SM58 is the world's most popular vocal mic; it's massively versatile and suitable for everything from stage to studio use. Hard-wearing, rugged and reliable.
Rode NT1-A Vocal Pack
The RØDE NT1-A has deservedly become an industry standard; renowned for delivering the warmth, extended dynamic range, clarity and high SPL capability usually only featured by some of the most expensive microphones.
sE Electronics SE2000
The SE2000 studio condenser mic offers extreme value-for-money and is perfect for recording vocals and acoustic instruments such as guitars.
AKG released this new generation XLS model to replace the legendary C414. All of the improvements that were made are answers to requests from ever-demanding recording studios, broadcast stations and concert engineers, but with the basic sonic character of the original C 414 unaltered.
Beyerdynamic M 201 TG
The M-201 TG is a sensitive dynamic microphone that has a whole host of uses in the studio. It's known for being a solid workhorse which many sound engineers swear by.
Looking For A Bargain?
So you can't quite afford anything from The Big 5... don't worry! The Wharfedale DM5 is an extremely affordable option that provides good results and is perfect for home studios that are just starting out.
It has an on/off switch that you usually have to pay extra for - and it comes with a free lead to get you started straight away. The DM5 is one of the cheapest handheld microphones out there and is a great little mic before you can get one of The Big 5.

HIST 499 is designed to teach students how to conduct a community-based oral history project. Students will become informed about the history of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars and of the social character of combat veterans of thes conflicts. They will learn how to conduct research on military history using published and archival primary and secondary sources and then apply their findings to the composition of a series of specialized interview questions. They will develop proficiency in interviewing Iraq and Afghanistan era veterans, recording it by means of a digital video camera, and preparing a written transcript of the interview. Finally, they will gain experience working as part of a team to produce a short DVD video about this immersive-learning course and its definitive oral history project.
The high definition video oral histories and transcripts will be made available online through Ball State University Libraries' Digital Media Repository.
Purpose of Wiki
This wiki provides information on how to transcribe oral histories for inclusion in the Ball State University Libraries' Digital Media Repository. It also provides a place for students in HIST 499 to collaborate on transcribing their interviews. It can be used to provide references to helpful resources, and keep a running list of names, geographic locations, and acronyms used in the interviews.

Getting Started
Express Scribe
- Download Express Scribe Transcription Playback Software. Note: You do not need to install Express Dictate.
- Download the oral history interview and save the file to your Desktop.
- Load the audio recording you'd like to transcribe.
- Click on the Load button.
- Navigate to the oral history audio file. The oral history will have a .mp3 file extension.
- Decide whether to use foot pedal or hot keys.
- If you want to use a foot pedal, make an appointment with firstname.lastname@example.com.
- If you want to use hot keys, go to Options > System Wide Hot Keys in the menu.
- I generally set Play to F3 and Stop to F4. This makes it easier to stop and start quickly.
- Adjust speed of playback.
- In the lower right hand corner, you'll find a gray bar to adjust the speed. I like 85% speed. Slow enough to hear everything, but fast enough that there's minimal distortion.
Transcription Template and Layout
All transcripts follow the layout in the Ball State University Cantigny First Division Oral History Project III template. Download this template, begin transcription, and save the file.
Spacing and page layout:
- Margins should be 1 inch on each side.
- No spaces at the the top of the page.
- Do not double space.
- Two empty lines after the information block.
- A blank line before and after a timecode. Timecodes should only be placed at the end of sentences or at the end of a speaker's uncompleted sentence.
Ex. And then we went-- [1:00] John had married at that point.
- Two spaces at the end of sentences.
- Page numbers should be in the bottom right corner.
Transcription Style Guide
We are following the Baylor University Institute for Oral History Style Guide and the Chicago Manual of Style for guidance in transcribing our oral histories.
Pay special attention to the following sections:
- Abbreviations
- Crunch Words
- Dashes
- Dates
- Numbers
Supplemental Transcription Information
For most situations the Baylor Style Guide will suffice as our authoritative guide; however, we have decided to make a few minor changes and additions to facilitate our project and to clarify some unaddressed finer points.
Please alert the rest of the project's staff to any major changes.
Multiple Interviewees or Interviewers: If there are multiple interviewees, use the first initial and last name.
Ex. B. Mathis: P. Watkins:
Abbreviating Titles: If written in conjunction with any part of the person's name (i.e. first name, initials, or surname) use an abbreviated title.
Ex. Dr. Jones spoke with the other doctor.
However, when referencing a military title, or other title such as a religious one, we will write it out unless their full name is given.
Ex. Father Murphy prayed with Reverend Harbin. Ex. Fr. Sean Matthew Anderson
Acronyms: Acronyms should be spelled out in brackets [] following the first use of the acronym in an interview. Unless, the interviewer or interviewee define it in the course of the interview.
Ex. And he took me to an OCS [Officer Candidate School] graduation ceremony, and he told me, he said, "I think you should do this, you should go to OCS."
Incidental sounds: Use brackets to show incidental and background sounds. Also, use a lowercase letter within the brackets even if they are the first word on a line or in a sentence:
Ex. Barry: [laughter] That was when the truck hit him!
Proper descriptive terms for Incidental sounds:
- 1.) [laughs] when speaker laughs
- 2.) [Jeffrey laughs] when person other than speaker laughs
- 3.) [laughter] when more than one person laughs
- 4.) [unintelligible] when you can't understand
- 5.) [inaudible] when you can't understand due to recording problem
- 6.) [telephone rings]
- 7.) [knock at door]
- 8.) [both taking at once] or [speaking at same time]
Money: Monetary amounts can be tricky. In general write out all monetary amounts unless they are fractional.
Ex. John stole $15.60 from Susan, which made her sad.
If the monetary amount isn't fractional, and only contains one or two non-zero significant digits write it out. If it contains three or more non-zero significant digits use numbers. Here are a few examples.
Ex. John gave Susan one hundred and fifty dollars, which made her happy.
Ex. John gave Susan $151, which made her happier.
Ex. John gave Susan one thousand and thirty dollars, which made her ecstatic.
Ex. John gave Susan $1,703,000, which made her faint.
Pauses: When there is a pause in the recording always use the phrase "Pause in recording." Set pauses in recording in Bold and Italics. These should be separated by a line above and below, and left justified. Only the first word should be capitalized. If somehow you know that the tape or side has ended, for example, if the interviewer says, "The tape is about to end," indicate so in bolded italics.
Ex. Taylor: I'm going to stop the tape for a minute.
Pause in recording
Taylor: We're back.
Recording Transitions: When there is a break in the recording, such as the end of one recording session and the beginning of another, set this apart in Bold and Italics. Theses should be separated by a line above and below, and left justified. One first word should be capitalized.
Ex. Taylor: I'm going to stop recording for today.
Session one ends; session two begins.
Taylor: We're back on January 1, 2009 interviewing Mr. Smith...
Depending on how the interview ends, center justify the phrase "End of interview" in bolded italics on its own line. Only the first word should be capitalized.
Place and People Names: In order to make the remaining and future transcriptions less time-intensive, we have decided to add a simple rule concerning place and people names. Since all names are fact checked we need a simple way to be able to find them in the document.
On the first draft, simply type your best guess at the name and insert ("??") after the name.
Ex. The undersecretary to the dean is Mr. Joehanson (??). Ex. I heard Brackon Library (??) has a secret fifth floor.
This will allow the staff member in charge of finding the names to easily locate and replace them.
Quotations: When the speaker is quoting someone, or a group of people, set the quotation inside quotation marks.
Ex. He said, "He only gave her one hundred and fifty dollars?" Ex. They replied, "It's a pretty good book."
If the speaker is paraphrasing someone, or a group, do not use quotation marks.
Ex. They told us what it was, that they had hanged these two boys. Ex. She said she was going to come over.
Keep in mind that thoughts are still set apart using a comma and an uppercase first letter.
Ex. I thought, This seems like too many rules. Ex. They must have thought, We can get away with this.
Timecodes: Timecodes should be placed every minute before the next sentence as close as possible to the actual minute. They should be in brackets and bold-type on their own line with a space above and below.
Ex. Taylor: Well, I didn't have any trouble 'cause at that time the work was very scarce. [1:00] But I was fortunate that I got a job right off the reel and I have never been out of work since I've been in Muncie, but I didn't have any problems at all."
If the minute mark falls in the middle of a sentence place the timecode as close as possible to the correct location without breaking the sentence apart.
Place an ending timecode after the last spoken word and before the "End of interview" text.
Ex. Johnson: Okay, thank you. [10:14]
Um's, Ah's, and Other Crutch Words: In an effort to bring clarity to the transcripts you may leave out any occurrence of a crutch word or guggle unless it's vital to understanding the speaker's speech pattern. Each example has what the speaker originally said in quotes and what follows is an appropriate transcription.
Ex. "Um, the-a quick br-brown fox jumps over, um [three second pause], the lazy dog-a." Transcription: The quick brown fox jumps over—um, the lazy dog. Note: the first um was deleted because it was simply used as a stalling device for the speaker. The second 'um' is left in to indicate its use as a lengthy pause.
Ex. "And um, I remember when, um, the church was um just a um convent." Transcription: I remember when the church was just a convent.
Use your discretion on whether or not to include specific crutch words in the transcript. We are trying to create near verbatim scripts, but we also want to be sensitive to the difference between the spoken and written word. If you're in doubt please ask someone else for their opinion.
Proofreading Transcripts
Ideally, all transcripts should be proofread by someone who did not conduct or transcribe the interview. It is also important to send copies of the transcripts to interviewees for review before final document is created for upload to the Digital Media Repository.
Procedures and Things to Double Check:
- Listen to interview to make sure it is has been accurately transcribed and look for spelling and grammatical mistakes that are not part of the interview.
- An effort should be made to minimize the number of "inaudibles" in the transcript. Editors should try to decipher any unclear words marked with a ~ or marked [inaudible], [unintelligible], or [?]. If the editor cannot make out the words, they should add [inaudible] if it is due to a technical problem or [unintelligible] if they cannot understand the person speaking.
- Names of people and places should be checked and corrected if spelled incorrectly. All spellings of locations should be added to the this wiki for other transcribers and editors to reference. These interviews will be sent to the interviewees and they will also be asked to correct the spellings of names.
- Acronyms should be spelled out in brackets within the body of the interview, if they are not defined within the course of the interview. All acronyms and military terms should be added to the list of military terms and acronyms on this wiki for transcribers and editors to reference.
- Double check the the page numbers are in the bottom right hand corner of each page.
- Double check that the header includes all of the necessary sections, including archival identification number, and the layout is correct.
- Double check the time codes are properly formatted.
- Double check that the total time of the interview is included on the last page.
Military Terms and Acronyms
As we transcribe these interviews, we will keep a running list of common military terms and acronyms in this space. Acronyms should be spelled out in brackets in the transcripts. We are still looking for definitions for the terms in italics.
Geographical Locations
As we transcribe these interviews, we will keep a running list of geographical locations mentioned in the interviews. The names in italics have not been verified.
- Muncie, Indiana
As we transcribe these interviews, we will keep a running list of personal names mentioned in the interviews. The names in italics have not been verified.

Kitchen Gift Guide For Beer Lovers
Beer lovers are by far the easiest people to shop for. Trust me, the gift of good beer will always be received with exuberant and completely unfeigned delight. But this year, several newly-released books, special brewing kits, and other beer-nerd-tastic things make giving these folks something they'll love even easier.
1 Give 'Em A 6-Pack, $8-16 from your local beer store: Seriously. A six-pack, thoughtfully chosen and lovingly given, will never fail to bring a smile to a beer buff's face. If you're not sure which beers to choose, take a peek in our Beer Sessions archives or ask the clerk.
2 Brooklyn BrewShop's 1-Gallon Beer Kit, $40 from Brooklyn BrewShop: If you know someone who has ever expressed an interest in learning how to homebrew, this is the kit for them. It's small, affordable, and makes brewing easy. (Read our full review.)
3 BeerAdvocate Magazine, $15 from BeerAdvocate: One of the best magazines out there that's fully-dedicated to craft beer.
4 Beer Craft: Six Packs from Scratch, $12 from Amazon: An excellent beginner's guide to the how's, why's, and what-for's of brewing beer. (Read our full review.)
5 Complete Homebrewing Kit, $150 from your local homebrew store: If you already know that one gallon batches isn't going to cut it for your beer buddy, give them the treat of a full-fledged 5-gallon brewing kit.
6 Brewed Awakening, $15 from Amazon: This book is so much more than a pub crawl of America's best breweries. It is a tell-all tale about every single hop and malt (not to mention blood, sweat, and tears) that goes into our favorite beers.
7 Brooklyn BrewShop's Beer Making Book, $14 from Amazon: The folks behind those one-gallon kits share some of their favorite recipes. (Read our full review.)

I am a political philosopher at Brown University. I was born in New Hampshire and moved with my family to Vermont when I was young. I grew up in a small town called Underhill Center, at the foot of Mt. Mansfield.
Ideologically and dispositionally, I suppose, I am a fusionist. At Brown I am the founder and director of the Political Theory Project a research center dedicated to the study of ideas and institutions that might make societies more free, prosperous, and fair. Every year the Project brings a dynamic group of postdoctoral fellows and visiting professors to Brown, all of whom share a commitment to civil, open-minded discourse about controversial political topics. Likewise, the Project's student wing, the Janus Forum, regularly hosts lectures and debates that bring opposing ideologies into serious but civil contact with each other.
My most recent book, Free Market Fairness (Princeton University Press, 2012), draws on moral insights from defenders of economic liberty such as F.A. Hayek and advocates of social justice such as John Rawls. In Free Market Fairness I develop a hybrid theory of liberal justice, one committed to both limited government and the material betterment of the poor. Free market fairness seeks to combine the uncombinables: capitalism and democracy, private property and social justice, free markets and fairness, the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street. Free market fairness, I believe, is social justice, American style. Listen to an interview with Philosophy Bites about Free Market Fairness here. Or read a review of Free Market Fairness in the Wall Street Journal.
I am currently working with Matt Zwolinski on a book called A Brief History of Libertarianism (also with Princeton University Press). Matt and I blog about this project at BleedingHeartLibertarians.com. See a discussion of our project at Cato Unbound.

A Bird in the Hand (or the Motorcycle…)
May 17th, 2012 by milwaukeepolice
A bird in the hand is worth a good news story to Milwaukee Police Officer Bill Ritch.
Officer Ritch was teaching motorcycle officer training Wednesday out in the Miller Park lot. After a night of storms, some felled tree branches dropped near his bike and out fell a baby bird – right onto Ritch's motorcycle seat, where he found it after the class took a break.
The baby bird can't yet fly, so Ritch, a true animal lover, took the bird, gave it shelter in his open tour pack. He fed the bird all day and has cared for it. He plans to keep it until he can nurse it back to health to fly.
And…. the officers named the bird "Harley." We've already heard from our friends at the Wisconsin Humane Society with a kind offer to help. The littlest in need have advocates in the Milwaukee Police!

During its monthly meeting tonight (July 17), the Cayuga Community College Board of Trustees passed a resolution in an 8 to 1 vote declaring financial exigency. The declaration follows the board's approval of a conservative budget of $30.32 million last month. That budget goes before Cayuga County Legislature for approval on July 23.
In declaring financial exigency, the college may lay off employees to close the gap between projected revenues and projected expenditures.
"After all the cuts and reductions made thus far, we must turn to our personnel costs in order to balance the budget," said College President Daniel P. Larson. "Depending upon enrollment, we'll know how much needs to be done."
Personnel costs represent nearly 80 percent of college expenditures. In order to find sufficient budgetary reductions, the college will have to decrease expenditures in that area. Some savings can be found in retirements, attrition, and modifications of part-time hours. For example, if the college has fewer students, it will not need to hire as many adjunct professors. Layoffs are another possibility.
With seven weeks before the start of the fall semester, enrollment data indicates that the college is currently at 80.9 percent of Fall 2012 final full-time equivalent (FTE), and 1.16 percent below where enrollment was at the same time last year. These numbers will continue to change until the final Fall FTE numbers are recorded for late-start courses.
"We will keep our students and our educational mission at the heart of our decisions," Larson said. "Our goal remains to deliver the highest quality education and support to our diverse student body population as we move forward in righting the fiscal challenges facing the college."
Earlier this year, the college announced it needed to reduce expenditures of its $32.36 million operating budget by approximately $1.5 million before the end of the fiscal year on August 31, 2013, to help make up for an unexpected 5 percent enrollment decrease. Approximately 90 percent of College revenue is tied to student enrollment, so dramatic fluctuations in enrollment have a significant impact on the budget.
Last fall, senior leaders and budget managers identified more than $778,000 in savings through employee retirements, operating budget reductions, cuts to travel, and reductions in part-time employee hours.
In spring, three of the four bargaining units at the college as well as managerial and confidential employees, executive staff, and the president accepted furlough days and helped close the budget gap for this year. While great gains have been made in closing the budgetary gap for 2012-13, there is still a gap of approximately $400,000.
The college will honor the agreements that they reached with three of the bargaining units: Maintenance and Custodial Group, Educational Support Professionals, and the Administrative Professionals Group. Those agreements guarantee no layoffs of the groups' employees through December 31, 2013.

Windows Phone 7.x to exist alongside Windows Phone 8 for quite some time
When Microsoft announced that Windows Phone 8 would not be compatible with Windows Phone 7.x devices, some people particularly those who had recently purchased a smartphone were understandably frustrated. This frustration increased when Windows Phone 8 launched without a single word regarding the Windows Phone 7.8 update, which will be bringing the new Start screen to older devices. Thankfully, Microsoft plans to keep supporting the older OS for some time to come.
Speaking to TechRadar, Windows Phone Corporate Vice President Terry Myerson had this to say: I would expect both platforms to exist for quite some time, from a global point of view. Windows Phone 7.8 devices will span much lower price points than windows phone 8 devices, initially, and given the application compatibility across the platforms, it makes the ecosystem stronger to have more device and more price points. We value every 7 and 7.8 customer we have; we'll continue to work for them as well but it is true that Windows Phone 8 is our future platform.
This comment lines up with previous reports of hardware manufacturers readying new Windows Phone 7.x devices for release in various parts of the world. While 7.x doesnt support the new-and-improved features and apps, it is still compatible with the vast majority of apps on the Windows Phone Store and all of the existing features will continue to work. And for those looking forward to the new Start screen, [Microsoft is] going to have more to say about 7.8 in the coming weeks.
Will Windows Phone 7.8 be enough to tide you over until you can get your hands on a Windows Phone 8 device?
Microsoft Xbox MVP. Long live Zune!
