Living with a Nexus 7 Tablet: A $199 Winner
I shared my first impressions of the Nexus 7 tablet when I was at Google I/O a couple of weeks ago, and while I liked it then, the more I use it, the more I'm finding to like. As the tablet is now starting to ship, I thought I'd share some more reactions.
As I first noticed, the Asus-built tablet has a solid feel. The 7-inch 1280-by-800 screen is the best I've seen on a $199 tablet and with a 1.2GHz quad-core Tegra 3 processor and 1GB memory, it seems quite fast. Physically, it's just a tad longer than a Kindle Fire with a bit larger bezel and it's a bit smaller than the Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet. It's slightly lighter than both. It has a higher-resolution screen (the others have 1024-by-600 displays) but seems faster and more responsive than either of those (which weren't bad), probably due to the combination of a quad-core processor and the Jelly Bean version of Android. It feels as fast to use as any tablet I've tried yet, and given the low price, that's saying something.
The $199 version has 8GB of flash storage and the $249 version has 16GB. Like the Kindle Fire or the iPad, you can't expand the storage. (The Nook Tablet has a microSD card slot.) One other major hardware difference is the addition of a 1.2-megapixel camera on the front, which works fine in video chat applications, such as Google+ Hangouts.
Of course, a 7-inch tablet is going to be much easier to carry around than a larger tablet like the iPad. It's a tradeoff of convenience (lighter, and easier to carry in a coat pocket or a purse) versus size (bigger screens look better). For reading books, I like the 7-inch size more just because it's easier to hold for a long time. For newspapers and magazines, however, the larger size allows for better pictures and navigation (at least on the apps I've seen to date) and while video looks very good on the Nexus 7, size does matter.
Of course, it's the software and the content that matters more. The main home page on the device defaults to showing "My Library" with your books, music, magazines, and videos, as downloaded from Google Play. (Like most Android implementations, there are multiple start screens and you can move between them.) Similarly, the standard icons on the bottom of the screen include one for Google's own apps, plus those for books, magazine, video, music, and the Google Play store.
The media discovery and applications themselves seem to run fine, but the content isn't up to where Apple's or Amazon's is. The movie and TV selection is quite limited, the number of magazines is very limited, and while music is better, it's still not as complete as I would like. You can, however, download from a third-party site or app, such as Amazon MP3, which mitigates the content limitations somewhat. The system is designed to stream content that lives on Google's servers via Wi-Fi, but it's simple enough to download items to the tablet through a "keep on device" icon. Alternatively, it's easy to copy over music from your PC.
The books application works fine but perhaps because I use multiple devices, I'll probably use the Kindle application more, which offers a better selection and a few nice tablet-specific features.
As I said in my first impression, the magazines I looked at were not very interactive and often the text on the page looked as if it was more like an image than a rendered font. Similar content looked better on the Kindle Fire or the iPad. If you're looking for a tablet primarily for reading books or magazines, you'd probably be better off with the Amazon or Barnes & Noble entries or reading within their Android apps.
On the other kind of applications, though, the Nexus 7 is the strongest 7-inch tablet I've seen. The system runs the Jelly Bean version of Android, which I found generally quite fast and responsive. This includes Chrome as the standard browser, with multiple tabs, the ability to sync tabs across multiple devices, and a fast rendering engine. I liked it a lot. Other than Flash support (which has ended as of Android 4.1), almost everything worked well and I'm glad to see options to request the desktop versions of sites. It's the best browsing experience I've had on a mobile device.
As part of Jelly Bean, it also includes the Google Now, voice search, and notifications features that I liked in the new version of Android 4.1. They work identically to the way they do on the Galaxy Nexus phone.
My first impression was that while there are plenty of Android applications, most don't look that nice on a tablet. That's still largely true. I'm not happy with most of the media apps—the New York Times looks like a phone app minus the tablet navigation that makes the iPad version so strong, and the Wall Street Journal and USA Today Android apps say they aren't compatible. There aren't many of the tablet-style magazine apps that look so good on the iPad.
On the other hand, there are more tablet apps coming out every day. PCMag recently rounded up the Best Nexus 7 apps, some of which are really good. Most of these aren't unique to the Nexus 7, but I've used many of them and found that they do generally work quite well. In particular, I like how Pulse, Ted Talks and the comics applications work on the screen. Would I like more applications optimized for the tablet look, as on the iPad? Of course. But for an Android tablet, the Nexus 7 is very strong, and I'm sure the apps that don't work yet will get updated.
Overall, the Nexus 7 is been the best 7-inch tablet I've used by a good margin. It feels fast and responsive, and the native applications are good. If the Android tablet ecosystem hasn't yet produced enough tablet-specific applications, it does seem to be picking up nicely. While I expect Amazon and Barnes & Noble at least to come out with new models to try to compete, this sets a new bar for both inexpensive tablets and for Android tablets. It's a winner.

they must have a ton of empty bottles in the back.
Or they have a few small bottles in the back but mostly buy the hot sauce in bulk containers and use the bulk to fill up the glass jars to save cost?

Fostering Intrapreneurial Ideas
"Intrapreneur" is the name given to employees who come up with their own ideas and then bring those ideas to life with the assistance and resources offered by their employers. (Intrapreneurs can also be found in service industries, creating innovations that draw customers away from the competition.)
Large corporations like General Motors, IBM. General Mills, and AT&T have reaped the rewards of intrapreneurial employees. However, business owners at companies of all sizes can benefit from their own intrapreneurs. This discussion will help you discover who your intrapreneurial employees are and how you can encourage, shape and mold their creativity. The discussion also focused on how to establish the lines of responsibility for intrapreneurial employees and their projects, as well as examining some of the potential drawbacks. By the time you finish this article, you should have a wealth of ideas about how to develop an intrapreneurial spirit within your organization.
I. The Value of Fostering Intrapreneurial Employees
Why is it important to foster intrapreneurial employees? Intrapreneurs can provide a fantastic boost to your company's bottom line. Not only do innovations add to your revenue stream, they also increase motivation and empowerment among your intrapreneurial employees.
Intrapreneurial employees are typically energetic and enthusiastic, imaginative and inventive. Most likely, they already have ideas for creating new products or services. Perhaps they're even working on developing their ideas in their off-work hours. So why not provide them the encouragement, resources and manpower? If you don't, they may move on to another company, or they may start their own and become one of your competitors taking customers and business away from you!
Intrapreneurial environments also promote expansion. You are only one person, trying to do a hundred different things all at once. When you look at the scope of your day, how much time and energy do you have left over to devote to creating new products and services that could help your company grow? The likely answer is, very little. As the old saying goes, two brains are better than one. So, wouldn't it make sense to utilize all of the brain power that you are already paying for? Yes, fostering intrapreneurial employees means taking chances, but these chances can pay off big. In fact, the Ford Mustang, IBM's personal computer and Kenner Toys' "Star Wars line" were all forged by intrapreneurs working for other people.
Another example of the value of intrapreneurship is the genesis of Post-It Notes¨. In 1974, a 3M Corporation employee couldn't keep his hymns marked properly in his church choir book. After attempting various methods, he decided he'd try using some non-permanent adhesive that was available at his workplace. By placing this adhesive on the back of his markers, he found he could keep them secured in place and then easily peel them off when he was done.
The man took his new discovery to the management at 3M, a company that encourages employees to spend no less than 15 percent of their time at work developing their own ideas and projects. With the company's support, the resourceful man researched and developed a new product. Twenty-five years later, Post-It Notes¨ continue to be one of 3M's top-grossing products.
You don't have to own a large corporation to foster intrapreneurship. All you need is the ability to encourage employees to develop new ideas, and then give them the time, space and resources needed to turn those ideas into reality. You may think you already encourage your employees to be innovative, but the question is, do you do it in a formal way? The following questions can help you determine whether you are indeed currently fostering an intrapreneurial environment at your company:
Back to Outline
II. How to Identify Intrapreneurial Employees
You can't assign someone the job of being an intrapreneur. Either someone is an intrapreneur or they aren't. How do you find the potential intrapreneurs in your company? Unfortunately, there is no clear-cut profile that helps identify them, but many do share similar personality traits. They tend to be highly motivated people who can work on their own with little supervision. They are highly dedicated and creative, with clear visions about how to help the company. Generally speaking, intrapreneurs aren't status seekers they are usually willing to jump in and roll up their sleeves in any situation to get the work done. They are extremely goal oriented doers, not talkers. Perhaps most importantly, they won't take "no" for an answer.
A perfect example is the employee from 3M. Here was an intrapreneur who faced many obstacles, yet found a way to persevere. Once he developed the Post-It Notes¨, the company's marketing division told him that customers would not be interested in his product. The manufacturing department was equally pessimistic, claiming the product was just too difficult to produce. So the employee worked out the manufacturing bugs himself, even though this was not his area of expertise. Now, Post-It Notes¨ can be found on almost every desk in America.
Now, go back over the list of names. Most likely, you'll find names that appear over and over again. These are the people who are most likely to become intrapreneurs. If no names appeared more than once, you may want to take a closer look at the people who work for you. These days intrapreneurs can be the key to giving your company a competitive advantage. If you don't currently have any intrapreneurs on your staff, perhaps it is time to bring some additional talent into your company.
Back to Outline
III. Ways to Encourage Employees to Pursue Ideas
A little encouragement can go a long way, especially when fostering intrapreneurs. However, before you can inspire employees, you should have a clear vision of where your company is headed and be able to express this direction to your staff. After that, you can work on getting the creative juices flowing.
Allow employees to spend at least 15 percent of their work time on new ideas for products and services. This is a sure-fire way to send a message that you encourage and support intrapreneurial employees. No doubt, you will find this rule makes most, if not all, of your employees much more productive. Why? People tend to work harder on the things they really enjoy doing. It's human nature.
Brainstorm with employees about new ideas. Ask them to develop some ideas in their off hours, then discuss their thoughts at breakfast meetings over coffee and bagels. Encourage other employees to jump in with suggestions on how to make some of the ideas better. When you find a suggestion that might be viable, ask the employee to fully research the idea. Then have the employee put it all on paper, clearly stating the goal, the steps needed to meet the goal, and the approximate timeline. An idea put in writing seems more real, and the timeline will help push the intrapreneur forward.
In listening to ideas, remember not to discount employees in lower-level positions. Often, people in entry-level jobs are ambitious and eager to prove themselves.
Another way to encourage intrapreneurial employees is to have a clear reward system in place. For most intrapreneurs, money is not the primary reason for developing new products or services, though it is indeed important that they get recognition for their accomplishments. And you don't have to break the bank to do this. If you can afford to, you may want to structure an agreement that gives the intrapreneur a percentage of the profits resulting from his or her product idea, although there are other options, such as a lump sum or a bonus program based on sales levels. The Post-It Notes¨ inventor, for example, did not receive any profits from his innovation; rather, he was rewarded with a promotion that included a pay raise and many new company benefits.
Beware, though, of the type of promotion you give. Intrapreneurs are creative people, and burdening them behind desks with lots of managerial responsibilities can frustrate them and be counterproductive for the company. Sometimes, it is better to leave the intrapreneurs to do what they do best: create.
For those of you in service industries, you might set up an incentive program for employees who devise new services or better operational practices that save money. In this case, you might consider setting up a percentage incentive where the employee would receive a certain percentage of what he/she saved you.
Even if the intrapreneur's idea flops down the road, it is still crucial that you reward his or her effort. You may choose, for example, to give that employee a certificate of appreciation and a dinner at a nice restaurant. The bottom line is that whether you decide on percentage points, promotions or other fancy perks, it helps to give your employees a reason to take a chance on their ideas.
The following questions should give you a better understanding of whether or not you are currently encouraging your employees to be intrapreneurs:
If you answered "No" to more than one question, you may need to spend more time nurturing intrapreneurship within your employees.
Back to Outline
IV. Criteria for Choosing Which Ideas to Implement
Obviously, you won't be able to use every idea. So how do you choose which projects to greenlight? Sometimes, you simply trust your business instincts. If, however, you're on the fence about an idea, consider these questions:
If you are still undecided, you may want to sit down and list all of the potential risks and potential rewards. Once the facts and figures are before you in black and white, you and your management team will have a better idea of the big picture and, thus, should have an easier time deciding what intrapreneurial ideas to pursue.
For additional reading on this topic, see New Products and Services.

V. How to Establish Lines of Responsibility
Once an employee's idea a product or service has been fully researched, and you have decided to go ahead with it, you must establish clear lines of responsibility. This is crucial since your day is already filled with a million other things, and you won't have the time needed to devote to a new venture. Hard as it may be for you to give up control, it's important to let the intrapreneur take his or her idea and fly with it. After all, nobody else will understand or feel as passionately about the invention as the inventor. Thus, if he or she is qualified, you may want to put the intrapreneur in charge and let them be responsible for all aspects of developing the new product or service, including planning, budgets, hiring and performance. By giving the intrapreneur this level of authority, he or she becomes more of a business partner than an employee, and you should act accordingly.
It's also important to remember that the way you and the intrapreneur handle tasks may be very different. Even so, it's sometimes better to let the employee do things their way. It's their project, under the umbrella of your company. If you see an intrapreneurial employee about to make a mistake, if possible, don't try to stop them. Give them the freedom to fail and learn from their mistakes even if these mistakes cost the company time or money. Going in, you should view all failures, within reason, as learning experiences.
If you see weaknesses in the intrapreneur's business plan, you can balance these out by adding support staff to the project. He or she will need plenty of assistance in many disciplines, from technical aspects to marketing, to get the new product or service off the ground. You may work together to decide which employees will work on the new business and which ones will remain focused on the current products and services.
It will be necessary for you to give regular, clear feedback to the intrapreneur. While you have taken a back seat role on this particular project, it is still your company and your pocketbook that you must be concerned about.
The following questions should help you to see if you are nurturing your intrapreneur in his or her new role:
If you answered "No" to more than one question, you may want to consider reassessing your relationship with the intrapreneur. Remember that measured involvement and mutual trust and respect are vital to the success of the new venture.
Back to Outline
VI. Drawbacks and Cautions
Intrapreneurial companies do have their drawbacks. When you transfer authority to another person in your organization especially when he or she is unproven you could be greenlighting them to make some bad business decisions. In the end, it is your pocketbook and your reputation at risk.
And here is something else to remember: Not every intrapreneurial idea results in a Post-It Notes¨. More often than not, new products and services fail to take off or are only moderate successes.
It is possible that sales will fail to cover your startup, production and marketing costs. Even so, many times it is worthwhile to take these risks because you never know when you'll find a diamond in the rough. And when all is said and done, a couple of medium successes can be just as lucrative as one big one.
You should also beware that when an idea takes off, you risk the intrapreneur feeling frustrated that he or she is not receiving enough compensation for their ideas. As they see you reaping the fruits of their labor, they may want a larger portion of the profits. This is why it is crucial to have a clearly defined reward system in place before you start out. Smart managers understand the importance of a letter of agreement, no matter how informal, between you and the intrapreneur just to protect yourself in case a problem should arise.
Similarly, you should be cautiously optimistic when results are really good. If an intrapreneur's product or service has really skyrocketed, the temptation may be to give him or her full reign. Doing so could be a costly mistake. Your intrapreneur may have had one fabulous idea, but that does not guarantee that the rest of his or her ideas will take off in a similar fashion. As you, no doubt, have learned through your own business experience, lots of ideas are born on timing and luck.

Chicago's Harpo Studios will always feel like home to Oprah Winfrey. The TV titan — who taped 4,561 episodes of her daytime talk show at the space — returned to her old stomping grounds to tape the Apr. 26 episode of Steve Harvey's syndicated talk show.
"Everybody thinks I left. I didn't really leave. I am between cities," explained Winfrey, who primarily resides in an $85 million mansion in Montecito, Calif. "I still have my business here in Chicago and I still have my apartment, so I'm back and forth all the time."
Many of The Oprah Winfrey Show's former staffers now work for Harvey, 56. "I walk in today, they're all in suits!" Winfrey said. "I go, 'What happened? Is there a suit rule around here?' You all didn't wear suits for me!"
All kidding aside, Winfrey said she missed being able to connect with viewers on a daily basis. "I got a little choked up seeing you guys today," she told the audience. "Because what I really miss is the camaraderie with the audience every day. So when I'm watching the show and the whole 'Ask Steve' segment and your ability to connect to the audience, I did that for 25 years."
"I wanted to keep rising, and to leave while I was still rising," Winfrey added. "When I look back at the body of work, those of you who watched us for years, it's astounding."
The 59-year-old, whose final episode aired in May 2011, launched OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network on Jan. 1, 2012. Several of the network's programs, including Oprah's Next Chapter and Iyanla Fix My Life, are produced by Harpo Studios.

It's the equivalent of putting a stop sign at a busy intersection after an accident, but the NHL will consider modifying its rules after it found no specific rule to support further punishing Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Ray Emery for his rink-length dash to fight an unwilling Braden Holtby last Friday.
Whatever your view of fighting, the other bouts among the Flyers and Washington Capitals involved willing participants. Holtby, the Capitals' goalie, wanted no part of Emery and shook his head negatively several times before Emery unleashed a series of blows, some to the back of Holtby's head. Capitals rookie Michael Latta approached — probably to intervene — but was waved away by referee Francois St. Laurent.
Emery got a game misconduct among his 29 penalty minutes, but the Department of Player Safety didn't fine or suspend him despite having a precedent: during the 2012 playoffs, Ottawa's Matt Carkner was suspended one game for fighting an unwilling Brian Boyle of the New York Rangers. Emery played — and won — the Flyers' next game.
Commissioner Gary Bettman told the Columbus Dispatch no rule had been violated "to elevate things to the level of a suspension." He added, "I don't think anybody liked it, liked what it looked like. Fortunately it's not something that happens very often. But I'm sure it's something we'll focus on, particularly with the general managers." League general managers are scheduled to meet next week in Toronto.
In 2008, the NHL reinterpreted its definition of unsportsmanlike conduct one day after then-New York Ranger Sean Avery positioned himself in front of New Jersey goalie Martin Brodeur and waved his stick to obscure Brodeur's view. General managers can suggest a rule reinterpretation here or recommend suspending any goalie who crosses the red line to initiate a fight.
The Flyers had casualties from the Capitals' game. Philadelphia forward Steve Downie suffered a concussion and is out indefinitely, and forward Vincent Lecavalier sustained facial injuries but might play Tuesday. Flyers GM Paul Holmgren had acquired Downie from Colorado a few days earlier, another in a series of questionable moves that have put the Flyers near the bottom of the East.
It might not be long until owner Ed Snider fires Holmgren and promotes assistant GM Ron Hextall. But Snider first must realize this isn't 1975 and bullying won't win games anymore.
Olympian task
Nashville GM David Poile, who is also general manager of the U.S. men's hockey team for the Sochi Games, is taking advantage of the Predators' seven-game trip to do some Olympic scouting.
While in Phoenix, he monitored gifted defenseman Keith Yandle; while in Los Angeles, he looked at Kings goalie Jonathan Quick and winger Dustin Brown. Good news for Brown: His spot on Team USA is safe despite his slow start.
"He's a guy that was a foundation player on the 2010 [team] and that we've made part of our leadership group. We want him on the team," Poile said. "His body of work is clearly Olympic-worthy."
Other slumping players are "losing steam" and could be passed by more deserving candidates. "If somebody is really off their game, though, you've got to pay close attention to what they're doing and how they're improving," Poile said. "Nobody in this business can live off their laurels very long."
Poile and fellow Team USA executives hold conference calls every other Monday and frequently text one another to share observations. They'll meet next week in Toronto and again in early December. The 25-man roster will be announced Jan. 1.
Injuries to Rangers forward Ryan Callahan and Montreal Canadiens winger Max Pacioretty complicated the evaluation process, but there's a wealth of choices at every position. Defense has been particularly bountiful, with Yandle, the Ducks' Cam Fowler, St. Louis' Kevin Shattenkirk, Carolina's Justin Faulk, Washington's John Carlson, Winnipeg's Dustin Byfuglien, Pittsburgh's Paul Martin and Poile's own Seth Jones getting scrutiny.
"It's not just picking the 25 most skilled players. We're trying to pick a team," Poile said. "If we don't have anybody that can play the point on the power play, then we've got to change that. Or who are our penalty killers? Who are our power play guys? It's all that type of thing to put a lineup together.
"The good news is we've got a lot of choices and a lot of newer guys on the scene who are coming into their own, so there are decisions at every position."
Slap shots
Identical twins Daniel and Henrik Sedin signed identical contract extensions with the Vancouver Canucks last week. Each deal is for $7 million a year for four years. Both are thriving under new Coach John Tortorella, who added penalty killing to their duties.
Boston winger Loui Eriksson skated Saturday for the first time since he suffered a concussion on a hit to the head from Buffalo's John Scott. The defending East champion Bruins are 2-3 without him….Montreal forward Daniel Briere, who suffered a concussion Oct. 19, resumed skating….Columbus will host the next NHL All-Star game and festivities on Jan. 24-25, 2015.

Help 9-Year-Old Ana Montanez in Her Battle With Rare Disease
It is a horrible thing to see a child that has fallen so ill. Local youngster Ana Montanez is suffering from a rare kidney disease that is trying to steal her childhood. This 9-year-old girl and her loving parents are having to face such hard times because of her illness. Here is how you can help them through this difficult time, by helping them with the ever growing medical costs.
Ana Montanez suffers from Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis Type 2. This rare disease causes kidney failure amongst a list of other threats to this young girl's body.
After many tests, Ana was finally diagnosed with MGT2. Her first symptoms appeared on a trip to her father's home in West Texas. Her eyes, arms, and legs began to swell. These very generic symptoms led to her long history of tests both, here in East Texas and all the way in Dallas at the Children's Medical Center. Since her final diagnosis was found, Ana has now faced the treatments to aide her through this disease.
Battling blood clots and kidney failure, this little one is in and out of the hospital. The doctors believe she will, more than likely, end up needing dialysis and a future transplant surgery. All of these treatments cost exorbitant amounts of money.
Trips to Trinity Mother Frances here in Tyler, and also to the Children's Medical Center in Dallas are starting to add up. Tests, treatments, hospital stays, and all the other piling bills are taking a toll of little Ana's family.
Though they do have insurance, there are some things that insurance will not pay for. These are the growing costs that are weighing down a family, already going through so much. So, the Montanez family is asking for help.
There is a campaign at GiveForward.com to help the family raise $10,000 for Ana's medical and travel expenses. With only one week left to donate, the family has received just over $3,000.
Let's help them reach their goal.
Click here to begin giving this family in need a gift they will never forget. Helping them will help little Ana get through this difficult time with more ease.

During the spring semester of 2010 and again in 2011, students in MLL 495/695 Intercultural Video Production worked with residents of Arbutus and surrounding communities on a collaborative video project. In "Arbutus Stories" residents reflect on their life-long association with the community through digital stories. Each resident teamed with a student to create short movies combining photos and other imagery with recollections of people and places.
The project was conceived as a celebration of the opening of the new Arbutus Public Library in September, 2010. The videos are on display on kiosks throughout the new space.
You can read more about the project in the Arbutus Patch and the Arbutus Times.

Ann Perrone, a computer teacher at Germantown Friends School, has been involved with the Germantown community for many years, but now Ms. Perrone is on a mission to provide an endless heartbeat through Germantown via various community projects, specifically the Boy Scouts.
"There's only one other major scout troop in Germantown now," said Ann. "Back in the day there were probably 15 or 20 troops. Almost every church had one, but today there are large portions of Philadelphia with no scout troops at all. I've always lived in either Germantown or Mt. Airy. I like the diversity, but I also feel that in terms of scouting it has more need."
Ann started recruiting area boys for her new Scout Troop 1719 last August and held the troop's first meeting last Sept. 29 at the First United Methodist Church of Germantown (FUMCOG). She chose the number 1719 because the 17th letter of the alphabet is Q, and the 19th is S, which together represent an abbreviation for "quarterstaff."
"We specialize in something I think I've invented called quarterstaff drill," said Ann. A quarterstaff is a pole-like weapon made from the hard wood of a tree split, usually with a pointed tip at each end. The boys use their hiking sticks as the quarterstaffs. According to Ann, many years ago there were drill teams who performed similarly to what Marines do when they drill with rifles. That's what Ann's troop does but with quarterstaffs. "We are calling ourselves the Philadelphia Quarterstaff Scouts."
Ann was inspired in 2010. As a Scoutmaster at a national Jamboree she was greatly impressed by a group of Trinidadian Boy Scouts at a National Jamboree who played steel pans (steel drums). "They were well behaved," she said, "and they worked together really well. I thought, 'Wow, I'd really like to start a troop like that with some kind of special focus." Ann quickly realized that having a quarterstaff drill would be inexpensive and would require the boys to cooperate and trust each other.
After practicing for weeks, Troop 1719 performed their quarterstaff drill for the first time at FUMCOG on Sunday, Feb. 13. Troupe 1719 also engages in the more traditional aspects of Scouting, such as camping trips, a skiing trip, service projects and a week at Camp Resica Falls in the Poconos this June.
Ann got involved in the Boy Scouts after seeing the positive effect it had on her son. One thing she particularly likes is that it provides an atmosphere free of bullying. "In Scouting nobody is ever riding the bench," she observed. "Everybody is pushed to go as fast as they can and achieve, whatever their abilities, and to see the dynamics of what it takes to be a leader."
Ann visits three units (or troops) on a monthly basis and trains adults in advanced scouting. She is also an adviser for an honor society called The Order of The Arrows. Ann has been a member of FUMCOG since she was a teenager. She is also on the board of the Germantown Relief Society, a small charity that dispenses money for people who need medicine, clothing, bus fare, etc.
Ann has been teaching at GFS for 35 years. She has been teaching computer skills to first and fifth graders for 15 years. "I really like the freedom teachers have to design parts of their own curriculum," said Ann, who created the computer position at GFS 15 years ago. "After I got a degree in instructional technology, they said, 'Hey, I think we need a computer teacher here,' and I agreed, so I switched over from classroom teaching to teaching computers."
Perrone was born in Kansas City, MO, but came here as a child. She graduated from Girls High School in 1970, attended Beloit College in Wisconsin and earned a degree in Instructional Technology at Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science (now Philadelphia University). Her husband, Steve Perrone, is a Scoutmaster for a troop in Springfield, Delaware County. Ann's son, Eric Brachwitz, is currently teaching English in Japan. Area residents may have heard of Ann's mother, Clarice Herbert, who was the executive director of the Germantown YWCA and is featured on the mural on the side of the old Germantown YWCA building.
Ann welcomes anyone who's interested in her troop to visit FUMCOG on Wednesday nights at 6:45 p.m. Boys in Troop 1719 must be between the ages of 11 and 14. For more information, 484-843-1719.

As traders, we are more interested to take part in strong moves and don't join moves that show weakness – or we may even watch for an entry in the opposite direction of a weak move. These guidelines do not hold true in all situations, but they are a good general aid in trading decisions. When a stock traded on high volume then is it is good time for active Investors to attain the opportunity of this situation. For every buyer, there needs to be someone who sold them the shares they bought, just as there must be a buyer in order for a seller to get rid of his or her shares. This battle between buyers and sellers for the best price in all different time frames creates movement while longer-term technical and fundamental factors play out. Using volume to analyze stocks can bolster profits and also reduce risk.
Currently, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading is at 65.57. RSI is a quick tool you can use to gauge overbought and oversold levels, the Relative Strength Index. The premise is simple, however. When RSI moves above 70, it is overbought and could lead to a downward move. When RSI moves below 30, it is oversold and could lead to an upward move. But, we must be patient before we enter our trades, because sometimes the RSI can stay overbought or oversold for quite awhile. The worst thing we can do is try to pick a top or a bottom of a strong move that continues to move into further overbought or oversold territory. So we must wait until the RSI crosses back under 70 or crosses back above 30.

BackupPC is a high-performance, enterprise-grade system for backing up Unix, Linux, WinXX, and MacOSX PCs, desktops and laptops to a server's disk. BackupPC is highly configurable and easy to install and maintain.
Given the ever decreasing cost of disks and raid systems, it is now practical and cost effective to backup a large number of machines onto a server's local disk or network storage. For some sites this might be the complete backup solution. For other sites additional permanent archives could be created by periodically backing up the server to tape.
Install backuppc from the official repositories. Install rsync and perl-file-rsyncp if you want to use rsync as a transport.
Start BackupPC
To manually start BackupPC issue this command:
# systemctl start backuppc
To make BackupPC load at startup:
# systemctl enable backuppc
Apache Configuration
BackupPC has a web interface that allows you to easily control it. You can access it using Apache and mod_perl but other webservers like lighttpd works too. Install apache and mod_perl from the official repositories.
Edit Apache configuration
Edit the Apache configuration file to load mod_perl, tell Apache to run as user backuppc and to include
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so User backuppc Group backuppc Include conf/extra/backuppc.conf
/etc/backuppc/config.pl. Set administrator name:
$Conf{CgiAdminUsers} = 'admin';
Next, we need to add a users file and set the admin password:
# htpasswd -c /etc/backuppc/backuppc.users admin
The BackupPC-Webfrontend is initially configured, that you can only access it from the localhost. If you want to access it from all machines in your network, you have to edit
Edit the line
allow from 127.0.0.1
allow from 127.0.0.1 192.168.0
where you have to replace 192.168.0 to your corresponding IP-Adresses you want to gain access from. Then just start Apache service.
Alternative lighttpd Configuration
server.port = 81 server.username = "backuppc" server.groupname = "backuppc" server.document-root = "/srv/http" server.errorlog = "/var/log/lighttpd/error.log" dir-listing.activate = "enable" index-file.names = ( "index.html", "index.php", "index.cgi" ) mimetype.assign = ( ".html" => "text/html", ".txt" => "text/plain", ".jpg" => "image/jpeg", ".png" => "image/png", "" => "application/octet-stream" ) server.modules = ("mod_alias", "mod_cgi", "mod_auth", "mod_access" ) alias.url = ( "/BackupPC_Admin" => "/usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin" ) alias.url += ( "/backuppc" => "/usr/share/backuppc/html" ) cgi.assign += ( ".cgi" => "/usr/bin/perl" ) cgi.assign += ( "BackupPC_Admin" => "/usr/bin/perl" ) auth.backend = "plain" auth.backend.plain.userfile = "/etc/lighttpd/passwd" auth.require = ( "/BackupPC_Admin" => ( "method" => "basic", "realm" => "BackupPC", "require" => "user=admin" ) ) /etc/lighttpd/passwd admin:yourpasswordgoeshere
Accessing the admin page
Browse to http://localhost/BackupPC_Admin respectively http://YOUR_BACKUPPC_SERVER_IP/BackupPC_Admin.
The webserver user and the suid problem
The current setup of backuppc, the webserver needs to run as backuppc user and this can be a problem on many setups where the webserver is used for other sites. In the past one could suid a perl script, but it was blocked globally due security problems several years ago. To workaround that, perl-suid was used, but again blocked due the same problem more recently, scripts can't be run securely with suid bit. Still there is another way, this time using a simple binary program that is suid as a launcher, that will run the backuppc perl scripts already with the correct user. This isolates the perl script from the enviorment and its considered safe.
To setup the backuppc to run on this mode you need to replace the original backuppc cgi with the below C code compiled program and move the backuppc cgi to another place.
Save the C code to a file named wrapper.c (please update the cgi path if needed) and compile it with:
gcc -o BackupPC_Admin wrapper.c
The wrapper C code:
#include <unistd.h> #define REAL_PATH "/usr/share/backuppc/lib/real-BackupPC_Admin.cgi" int main(ac, av) char **av; { execv(REAL_PATH, av); return 0; }
move the real cgi
/usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin to the lib directory
/usr/share/backuppc/lib/real-BackupPC_Admin.cgi , place the new binary
BackupPC_Admin in the cgi-bin directory and chown the binary cgi to

Jenelle Evans Reveals Post-Miscarriage Plans, & Recent Tweets
Jenelle Evans may have just gone through what some would deem a horrific tragedy, but this Teen Mom 2 star is ready to get on with life and, in her first statement since having a miscarriage this morning, has just revealed her somewhat shocking plans for later tonight.
Earlier this afternoon, someone had written to Jenelle about playing PlayStation 3 and her reply was, "once we get out of the hospital." Everyone was obviously shocked that Jenelle would be playing games after she just lost her baby. Needless to say, she quickly deleted the photo, but not before CallingOutJE got a screen shot of it which she posted for fans.
After news of the miscarriage broke, fans were devastated for Jenelle and took to Twitter and Facebook to send her their well-wishes, but now it all seems to have been done for nothing. The normal person who experiences a tragedy such as losing a baby is beside themselves with grief for days — not planning to go play PlayStation with friends when they get out of the hospital.
As if there wasn't enough speculation about Jenelle's pregnancy being fake from the start already, fans are sure to go wild with accusations now. It's starting to look like Jenelle and Courtland faked a pregnancy and according to him, they got $20k for doing so.
Read from the bottom-up.
Well...everyone grieves differently.

Monaco face Reims trip after League Cup draw
Monaco will open their Coupe de la Ligue campaign with an away trip to Reims after the draw for the third round was made on Thursday.
Claudio Ranieri's men sit top of the Ligue 1 table and are undefeated after the first five games, with star striker Radamel Falcao already finding the net on four occasions.
However, the principality club have not won a major trophy since 2003, when they beat Sochaux 4-1 in the Coupe de la Ligue final, and they will start their quest to regain the crown against a Reims side that has lost just once so far this season.
Rennes, who reached last year's final only to lose to Saint-Etienne, host Ligue 2 Nancy, while Brittany rivals Nantes and Lorient face-off at the Stade de la Beaujoire.
Bastia have been drawn against Corsican neighbours Ajaccio, Lille take on Auxerre, and 2011-12 Ligue 1 winners Montpellier travel to Sochaux.
Elsewhere, Valenciennes meet Troyes, Guingamp face Evian, Toulouse take on Creteil and Tours play Amiens
UEFA Champions League qualifiers PSG and Marseille do not enter the competition until the round of 16, along with Lyon, Saint-Etienne, Nice and Bordeaux.
The third-round ties are to be played on October 29-30.

Warm-Weather Retention Tactics
Summer is just around the corner, and here we go again, scrambling for ideas on how to keep our members working out in our clubs during the hotter months. Traditionally, our summertime competitors are outdoor camps, vacations, outdoor swim clubs, and outdoor sports such as tennis and golf. However, if we, as club operators, are creative, resourceful and plan ahead, we can keep at least 50 percent or more of the summertime quitters active all year long.
The first step is don't create a summertime membership freeze option in your guidelines. Some clubs allow for a membership freeze fee to be paid during the summer months. This policy encourages nonuse, and there is always the danger that after a summer away, your members won't come back. Only allow freezes for injury or pregnancy, and require that the member submit a doctor's note. Be sure to outline this clearly in the joining material. If members object, simply explain that even though outdoor activities are important and enjoyable, they cannot completely substitute a well-rounded fitness regime that includes cardiovascular, strength and flexibility training.
If we are not allowing summertime freezes, then we should offer some relief from the summertime blues. Here are some ideas that have worked to keep members feeling good about their decision to stay on board.
Determine the population that you want to target and go after it. At the Newtown Athletic Club, our summer market is adults, college and high school students, and children.
Design programs that address your targeted population and its summertime issues. Here are some points to keep in mind:
* Indoor summer camps are popular because they are not affected by the weather, and children with outdoor allergies stay comfortable. Give members a discounted rate on summer camps, motivating them to keep their family membership active. When parents drop their children off at camp, they often stay to work out.
* Host a run/walk to attract members and nonmembers as well.
* Indoor sport leagues offer members a cool place to participate in team activities, and help avoid heat-related injuries.
* Summer swim instruction is often of a higher quality in a health club setting than in an outdoor swim club. In addition, the teachers are usually full-time employees, more mature and have smaller class sizes.
* Offer sports-specific training programs for outdoor sports, such as softball, baseball, golf and tennis, in a series of lessons or one-time clinics designed to improve performance. These programs work well in the spring as well, to get people ready for their summertime activity.
Don't fight City Hall. If most summertime outdoor activities take place in the afternoon, then program heavily in the morning and evening hours.
Once you've created your programming, you're ready to design a marketing plan. Be sure to begin marketing around April and continue all summer. Use your newsletter, bulletin boards, fliers, sample classes, spring clinics and press releases to promote your summertime activities. Be sure to emphasize the indoor advantages of your programs and remind your members that fitness is a year-round commitment that cannot be replaced by outdoor recreational activities alone.

Course of Study in the TESOL Program
"The flexibility and variety of courses in SSU's M.A. TESOL program met my practical and academic needs and interests. The program's experienced and friendly professors helped me customize my M.A. courses and successfully finish them. Besides, students from all around the world helped deepen my knowledge and give insight into my English teaching practices and theories."
Dongseok Choi, South Korean English Teacher
The TESOL Master's Degree program requires 30-36 semester units of coursework, depending on the candidate's chosen pathway to program completion: the thesis/project, cognate, or individualized examination. In all three pathways, graduate students take 18 units of TESOL program courses, and at least 6 units of graduate core courses. All graduate students work with a three-member committee, and most closely with the committee chair, to complete a culminating activity that is presented to the committee in a public forum.
