Academic notes
Student nabs national prize for presentation on spinal cord injury rehab
Kinesiology senior Lauren A. Conn won national honors for her presentation on spinal cord injury rehab.
For her research and poster presentation on spinal cord injury treatment, Cal State L.A. kinesiology senior Lauren A. Conn garnered first-place honors at a national conference of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the National Science Foundation.
Conn, who works in Professor Ray De Leon's Spinal Plasticity Lab, is analyzing the local expression of neurotrophic factors in the spinal cord to determine if body weight supported treadmill training affects neural circuits involved in walking.
"I felt so honored to accept an award on behalf of all the hard work that we do in the lab," Conn said, adding that the conference further inspired her to continue in her research and education.
Using computers to solve biological problems
Building on past successes in designing and implementing programs to serve the growing biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, this fall Cal State L.A. will begin offering a multidisciplinary minor in bioinformatics and computational biology. The minor will integrate life sciences with statistical methodologies and develop computer-based applications to model life processes, while also providing students with new opportunities in research.

Criminalistics program is among the 'best of the best'
Graduate student researcher Froseen Dahdouh analyzes a sexual assault evidence kit in a lab in the Hertzberg-Davis Forensic Science Center. The University's criminalistics graduate program was recently awarded full accreditation.
Joining a select group of forensic science programs, the Master of Science in Criminalistics program is the first in Southern California to receive full accreditation for a five-year term under the national standards of the Forensic Science Education Programs Accreditation Commission (FEPAC). The accreditation is important, faculty said, because it reinforces and gives credit to the high-quality educational opportunities available to students through the graduate program as well as establishes a standard for programs.
"[CSULA's program] has been the most widely known and highly regarded in Southern California," said Joseph Peterson, the director of the School of Criminal Justice and Criminalistics.
CSULA takes steps toward a multi-lingual future
In a move to become the first university in the nation equipped to educate a continuous flow of Korean language teachers for secondary schools, Cal State L.A. and the Korean Education Center in Los Angeles signed a Memorandum of Understanding that will pave the way to the launch of three Korean language programs.
Cal State L.A., supported with a five-year $769,710 grant from the education center, aims at developing a minor in Korean language by 2012, a major in Korean language by 2015, and a Korean language teaching credential program by 2016. The Korean language is listed by the U.S. Department of Defense as one of the most strategic and important languages to learn, along with Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, and Russian. Development of student skills in the language has also been a focus of the campus for many years through the CSU's Strategic Language Initiative.

Alumni Spotlight
Alumni Spotlight: Lillian Kawasaki '72, '80 M.S.
Lillian Kawasaki '72, '80 M.S.
Lillian Kawasaki's love of science and, more specifically, nature, has deepened the well of her Los Angeles roots further than she ever dreamed possible.
From laboratory research to the great outdoors, and from environmental justice to water conservation policy-making, Kawasaki has played a significant role in shaping how Los Angelenos interact with and draw upon environmental resources.
"In a nearly 30-year span with the city of L.A., I was involved with most of the major environmental initiatives," said Kawasaki '72, '80 M.S., currently an elected board member of the Water Replenishment District of Southern California, which manages groundwater resources for roughly 4 million people in South Los Angeles County.
"Hopefully, I've been able to make a difference in people's lives," she added. "The environment, economy and equity are really the basis of sustainable solutions, as I see it."
Among the highlights of her career—which included stops with The Port of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Environmental Affairs and Community Development departments and the Department of Water and Power (DWP)—were developing the city's first comprehensive clean air plan and establishing green workforce training programs that helped many young adults establish thriving, successful careers in a growing industry. Kawasaki, the city's first Asian-American woman department head, had the responsibility to build its Environmental Affairs Department.
"How many people in their lives are able to establish a brand new department that has a broad mission, but no roadmap," Kawasaki said. "It was a great opportunity."
While working as the assistant general manager for environmental affairs at DWP, she was also instrumental in restructuring its solar incentive program, giving customers cash for installing photovoltaic panels. Another impactful program that she helped get off the ground was the Los Angeles River Revitalization Plan. A 20-year blueprint for development and management of the Los Angeles River, the plan includes making 32 miles of the river more natural by adding parks and pathways that invite residents to its shores.
"What has been important to me throughout my career is that we not just design policies, but also take implementing actions," Kawasaki said.
This could be one reason Kawasaki makes a tangible mark on her community. Her training at Cal State L.A., she adds, also taught her to be "both entrepreneurial and innovative.
"I was encouraged by my professors and the students [her husband, Craig Carter '75 M.S., being one of them] to not only get a good education, but to take that information and work on results," she said. "Oftentimes, your ability to make decisions and be creative in coming up with solutions is how you make and sustain positive impacts, and I really think that Cal State L.A. taught me how to do that."
In gratitude to the University, Kawasaki has remained active with the campus, having served as a board member for the CSULA Foundation and supporting students and programs with annual gifts through CSULA's President's Associates.
She also serves on the boards of numerous other nonprofit groups and associations that promote environment and education interests. Among them are the Friends of Manzanar, Carpe Diem West, and the Association of Women in Water, Energy and the Environment.
"As you can see, I am really passionate about two things: the environment and Cal State L.A."

When it comes to sustaining track and field excellence, it's hard to top Cal State L.A.'s well-respected men's and women's track and field programs.
Both programs, ranked among the top 20 nationally in the NCAA Division II, have produced a combined 71 individual champions. At least one Golden Eagle track and field athlete has competed in 13 of the last 16 Summer Olympic Games, and 23 team members—representing 10 nations—have qualified for 52 Olympic events, capturing 15 medals (six gold, eight silver and one bronze).
In seven of the past eight years, women have ranked among the top three in the conference meet.

"I knew when I came here that this was a program with a rich history and I thought we needed to get the ball rolling again," said Christopher Asher, now in his ninth year as the head coach of the men's and women's outdoor track and field, women's indoor track and field and women's cross country teams. "With the help of good assistant coaches we've been able to recruit some top athletes."
In the last three years, in fact, the Golden Eagles men's outdoor track and field team has recorded two top-seven national finishes, and they are on pace again this season to possibly repeat the feat. At the California Collegiate Athletic Association Championship in early May, the men's and women's teams combined to win 10 individual conference titles.
Among leading competitors are men's triple jumper Josh Como and women's shot putter Na'i Leni, both of whom hold the country's top marks in their best events. Giorgio Bryant is also third in the nation in the long jump, followed closely by Como, who is sixth. Leni is also fourth in the women's discus, and Julius Joseph holds the seventh spot in the men's discus. All are assured of competing in the 2011 NCAA Division II championships. As TODAY went to press, Giorgio Bryant became the NCAA Div. II champion for the long jump, leaping 26-1.50
"I am glad that I came to Cal State L.A. It's been a great experience, having fun with my teammates and benefitting from the one-on-one attention from the coaches. I've really enjoyed it because of my teammates and coaches," Como said. "It's been a growing experience for me. Athletics carries over into your life; you are learning to work toward your goals in life. I'm not just an athlete, I'm diverse and strive to excel in other areas as well."
The Golden Eagles have established a reputation for being fierce national competitors over many years. In the 2008 indoor season, Omonike Kotey won an individual championship title in the women's triple jump. In 2010, Damein White was national runner-up in the 100 and 200, following a similar finish in 2009 in the 200 event. And before that, CSULA had national runner-ups in the 2007 men's long jump (Kevin Finney), 2005 and 2006 men's high jump (Eugene Hutchinson) and 2006 women's long jump (Keara Norton).
Cal State L.A. has also increased its profile by hosting three big meets in 2011, with three more to come in 2012, including the conference championships for a third time during Asher's tenure. Having meets on campus, he said, has helped "establish an identity" for the program. It gets your name out there nationally… and helps your recruiting.
Their Say
What are your resolutions for 2011?
Jermaine Coleman '13
Mechanical Engineering
"It means creating a better future overall in the environment and in our globe to ensure that in the future our children and future generations will be able to enjoy the earth as is it is right now for us, and to make it a cleaner place than it already is."
Edgar Gonzalez '11
Electrical Engineering
"A better future for our children, and our children's children."
Jenny Diep '11
"Just be more conscientious about the type of carbon footprint that we are leaving behind. It's as simple as cleaning up after yourself, not throwing, like, bad materials into the ocean, recycling. Just very, very simple things to just prevent carbon footprints. The little things that you do are the most important things that you do."
Robyn Braus '11
"Not having to use nonrenewable resources…because they run out. And if we want to keep going the way we are going, then we are going to need to find other resources. I mean if we want to keep up our lifestyles the way that we have them and the way that we set up our houses, then yeah, we are going to have to figure out some sort of way of sustaining that."
Minh Sou '11
Civil Engineering
"Basically, to be green, for myself, is to be healthy. You want to be green, you want to be healthy; basically work out a lot, drink a lot of water and eat good food."
Anna Danilowicz '11
"Always being conscious of the environment, loving the environment, loving nature. Recycling all the time, not even thinking about it, not littering. Always turning off the lights before you leave a room or you leave a house. Being sensitive to the products that you are purchasing. Just being aware of the environment and where things come from, not taking things for granted."

Menderu the tiger moves into Atascadero's Charles Paddock Zoo
Born in San Diego just 14 months ago, the Malayan tiger will have his public debut in about a month
AnnMarie Cornejo
Posted on Wed, Jul. 15, 2009
Menderu, a Malayan male tiger, arrived Wednesday at the Charles Paddock Zoo in Atascadero.
The tiger, born April 30, 2008, was transported in an aluminum crate by truck from his previous home at the San Diego Zoo. The tiger will be in quarantine for one month to guarantee that any outside diseases or parasites are not introduced to the zoo's current collection of animals, zoo Director Alan Baker said.
The tiger exhibit has long been a key attraction at the Atascadero zoo. In early June, the zoo's Indochinese tiger Sala died. Menderu, which means "roar" in Indonesian, will move into the exhibit in mid-August.
In preparation, zoo staff members have added new plants, seeded grass, repainted and fixed the waterfall in the exhibit. The public will be able to meet Menderu for the first time Aug. 15.

Interior Design at Banyan, Manchester
The Equinox Fashion was invited to the launch of Banyan (Bar&Kitchen) Manchester with Echo PR, who provided the exclusive treatment to me during the Student Night Out, a few weeks ago. Surprisingly, I have absorbed the vibe of food review and lifestyle blogger recently, and I really enjoy it actually.
Banyan was really packed with the crowd from a wide variety of press, and VIP guests. The vibrant colours of the bar attracted me when I stepped in, however, I spent most of my time walking around the place, while observing the interior design, which it's quite interesting. Personally, I love the modern minimalistic interior space fused with the eco-friendly atmosphere. Therefore, no wonder why I could escape the crowd and hid myself downstairs where the rooms were designed for the meeting, as well as, private party.
If any of you follow me on my Instagram (@thequinoxfashion), you will be able to notice that the theme of the platform tends to be light greenish since that relaxing colour looks pleasing to my eyes. I didn't eat anything at Banyan (only a few drinks), but I couldn't resist myself posting a photo of the plant deco on my IG showing the side of the pretty deco artwork fulled of massive rocks and some plants. Though, I am not a flower person (I don't know anything about it, even how except a rose lol), I am obsessed with anything green such as plants, and cactus. So, the touch of raw stones and natural colour of the leaves, I think it is a good combination.

American, born 1947
Nicholas Nixon was born in 1947 in Detroit, Michigan. He studied American literature at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and received an MFA in photography at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. Nixon has worked as an independent photographer since 1974. He is the recipient of two John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowships, three National Endowment for the Arts Photographer's Fellowships, and a Massachusetts Council for the Arts "New Works" Grant. He currently is a professor of photography at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston.
Nixon has been exploring portraiture and social photography since the 1970s. Although best known for The Brown Sisters, he has created several other series noted for their humanity and restrained emotion. Nixon often spends a year or two exploring his chosen theme: among his subjects have been nursing home residents (Old People), AIDS patients in their final months (People with Aids), and Boston schoolchildren (School).
His photographs have been exhibited at numerous museums and galleries, including the Art Institute of Chicago; Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio; and Museum of Modern Art, New York. He has published many books of photographs, including: Nicholas Nixon (2003); A City Seen (2001); The Brown Sisters (1999); School: Photographs from Three Schools (1998); People with AIDS (1991); Family Pictures (1991); Nicholas Nixon: Pictures of People (1988); and Photographs from One Year (1983). Nixon's photographs are in the collections of the National Gallery of Art, Washington, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, among many others. (From the press release for the 2005-2006 NGA exhibition Nicholas Nixon: The Brown Sisters)

- First step (or sentence) is the hardest
Imagine this: it's cold outside, and all you want to do is stay indoors and drink a nice cup of tea. But you know better than crushing on the couch: you put your running shoes on, and start your training, even when every inch of your body seems to protest against it. After you get going, something amazing happens: it gets easier. And when you come home, you are glad that you didn't listen to the lazy voice inside your head and chose to go for a run instead.

Here is some Information about various toys that will keep pets amused. Your pet will never be bored. It includes products new to the market that pet owners may not have considered, as well as old favourites.
It's only natural to worry about your pets when you're away from home, particularly for long periods. With this in mind, it's a great idea to provide a number of boredom-busting toys to keep your pet occupied. Consider the following products:
Cats Play
Multi-activity and wellness equipment are new to the market. These act like a 'baby gym', providing hours of amusement for your cat in your absence. Not only do they give your cat stimulation through play activities, but they relax with massagers, cooling pads and paw rubbing points. Some even provide the facility to grow grass for your feline. Fitting together to offer a number of different sections, your cat won't find anything more fun to have around when you are not. These are available online at dyrehandel and other pet stores.
Fountain Fun
The new pet Drinking Fountain concept is new to the market and provides clean, fresh, circulating water for your cat or dog. You can rest assured that the water is filtered pure, like a mountain stream and that it is highly oxygenated to improve health and encourage drinking. It's great way to ensure peace of mind when you're away at work.
Rolling Yoghurt Treats
These balls can be filled with yoghurt drops or other snacks and presented to your cat to play with. As they roll the ball around with their paws, the little treats will fall through the holes for them to eat. They will spend a long time trying to get the last one to drop through and it will keep them happy.
Parrot Swing Ropes
Designed to be soft on the feet, a parrot rope makes an ideal climbing toy for your parrot. Made of strong fibre rope with a metal core, you can bend it to any shape you want.
Hamster Playgrounds
Hamsters are such inquisitive pets and they will love the new wooden playgrounds on the market now. With ladders, catwalks and climbing walls, they will be kept busy and fit. These are also suitable for mice.
Dog Distraction
Food is a strong motivator for dogs, as we all know, but why not make them work for their snacks so that they get some fun and mental stimulation at the same time. Along with the 'Kong' type snacks, which have proved so popular, there are now Dog Mazes and 'artificial grass simulators' that make your dog or cat slow down their eating as they retrieve their dinner with paw dexterity and cunning. A point to note is that slowing down feeding aids digestion.
With a few fresh ideas, you can make your pets' lives much more fun and full of play, even when you're not there to entertain them. Look for these products online at dyrehandel and similar online pet shop product suppliers. Also look for healthy snack foods from Hills Pets.
Amy Pettigrew regularly writes for pet magazines. She has a large collection of animals including five dogs all of which she feeds on Hills Pets animal foods and supplies with toys from dyrehandel.

God's Way to Mass Revival THROUGHOUT these lectures we have insisted that we can have revival now. The Bible prophesies great revivals yet to come; this age is the age of revival, the age of the pouring out of the Holy Spirit for soul-winning, the age when "whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." We have insisted that God's mighty resources are su ...read
Great Revivals in Bible Times Prove We Can Have Revival Now FAINT-HEARTED Christians who watch the clouds so much they do not sow, and observe the wind until they do not reap, are defeated by the manifest wickedness on every side, and do not believe that God can give revival now. Many people cite the coldness of the people of God, the modernism and infidelity in many of the pulpits and in many places of den ...read

Hyper-Calvinism: A False Doctrine Through the years there has been a conflict between the doctrine of eternal salvation by grace through faith, not of works, and the doctrine of salvation partly by God's grace and partly by man's works or by deserving it or by faithfulness.

NO BABIES BAPTIZED IN THE BIBLE Since salvation must come, according to the Bible, before there can be Bible baptism, it is obvious that there is no reason for baptizing babies, unaccountable infants.

Present-Day Wickedness, Apostasy and Modern Civilization Cannot Prevent Revival THE God whom some people worship is old and tired. The present-day civilization is entirely too much for Him!

THE FORM OF BAPTISM The form of baptism is very clear from the Bible. Let us notice the plain teaching of the Scripture about this matter.
1. The form of baptism requires WATER. John the Baptist said, "I indeed baptize you with water" (Matt. 3:11; Mark 1:8; Luke 3:16; John 1:26,33). A Bible baptism requires water. The word translated with in the above verse is u ...read

ADA (Part of Axiata Group), one of the largest companies in Asia that integrates data, insights, media, and content to deliver business outcomes continue its expansion in the region with the launch of the ADA Centre of Excellence in Malaysia. At the official launch held today, ADA also unveiled a suite of Retail Business Insights Dashboards – these will allow businesses to precisely target consumers (including their competitors' consumers) based on their behaviours.
The event was officiated by YB Tuan Gobind Singh Deo, Minister of Communications and Multimedia who spoke about Malaysia's growing digital landscape. "First and foremost, we must be brave enough to acknowledge the fact that we are living in times that are very different from the past. The speed at which we are going to accelerate to the next level is a lot faster than we think. To catch up, we have to focus on infrastructure, which is why my ministry has given that aspect a huge push. But having infrastructure but not knowing how to use it is of no value, so there is a need for education. Once we acknowledge all this, we can revise our priorities and look at areas which we need to spend more on," said YB Tuan Gobind Singh during a fireside chat at the launch of ADA Centre of Excellence.
The ADA Centre of Excellence is located at Axiata Tower in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and will support rising data and digital demands both locally and regionally across eight other markets – Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Cambodia, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. This expansion has also created new roles, including highly skilled positions in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) sector – a highly employable workforce in Malaysia.
Combining creativity, personalisation, and an omnichannel approach to deliver positive business outcomes
Established in March 2018, ADA focuses on driving positive business decisions for their clients. Born out of strong telco roots, they have developed a niche expertise in studying consumers' digital behaviours in these markets, developing insights, and then taking the right actions. The 'Agency of the Future' strongly believes that brands will need to rely on the right technology and an omnichannel approach to meet the changing needs of tomorrow's sophisticated consumers who expect relevant and personalised messaging.
The ADA Centre of Excellence carries over 280 million unique consumer profiles, and offer services that cut across the creative, advertising, and marketing spectrum.
Srinivas Gattamneni, Chief Executive Officer, ADA said "While traditional agencies have relied heavily on creative ideation or deep media planning, times are changing fast. As we approach 2020, more businesses are starting to understand the importance of funneling their creative ideas, but through the right channels."
"To achieve this, we ensure our marketing strategies are built on reliable data-driven insights. Building a model that supports all pillars of effective communication takes priority. This includes bringing together expertise in programmatic advertising, data analysis, machine learning, storytelling, and creativity – which is the vision for the ADA Centre of Excellence," he added.
Innovating data-driven and business insights solutions
ADA also unveiled its Retail Business Insights Dashboards (Retail BIDs) at the event. Designed to help the automotive, mall, and petrol industries drive marketing and sales strategies to the right customers by re-shaping their digital strategies, Retail BIDs is a suite of dashboards that allow businesses to:
- Find out more about existing and potential customers
- Uncover the personas of customers who visit their own and competitors' stores
- Track customer foot traffic to which outlets they visit, when, and how often
This, explained Gattamneni, would allow them to meet consumer needs in a digitally driven economy. With a wide range of solutions, businesses in industries such as retail, travel, automotive, and financial services can utilise ADA derived data insights to better understand their own customers as well as their competitors' customers.
Nurturing local data talent demands
With the launch of the ADA Centre of Excellence, the agency also aims to become a talent hub for digital advertising, data learning, and innovation. With their talent development programmes and initiatives, ADA will reinforce data-driven digital skills across their 400 plus strong team of data scientists, engineers, consultants, digital advertising specialists, and industry experts in Malaysia and the rest of the region.
"This expansion will boost talent demand and help to contribute high-skilled employment within the nation – a crucial step for Malaysia's digital economy. It's not just about turning a profit – we want to ensure that everything we do is impactful and serves as a win-win situation for our clients, and our people. That's why talent is a critical asset we cherish and will continue to develop," commented Gattamneni.
"We have made significant investments in data and technology, and our people with the vision to establish Malaysia as the 'Data Analytics Capital of Southeast Asia'," Gattamneni further added at the launch event.
ADA further revealed that they will be doubling their investments in data-related solutions, and talent over the next two years.

Zack Tolmie
Zack Tolmie has been passionate about personal finance from a young age. He started an "I Gotta Get a Car When I Turn 16" Fund when he was five, and was saving for college by the time he was eight. By working hard and saving aggressively, he graduated debt-free from New York University with a degree in both mathematics and economics. He brings the same zest for saving and financial know-how to his clients in the mortgage industry. What's the best financial decision for them? What's going to save them the most money in the long-run? The short-run? Most importantly, is it worth it?
Zack does the heavy lifting and makes the mortgage process as easy as possible. No two borrowers are exactly alike, and so Zack makes sure that he and they are as informed as possible for their specific situation. If there is a way to make it work, he'll find it.
In his free time, Zack enjoys doing crosswords, hiking, swimming, and anything to do with the show 'Survivor'.

My wife and I are both British and most of our assets were in the UK. Despite the added complexity, Zack was extremely knowledgeable and supportive through the process. I'm not sure if we would be homeowners without his help so we are both extremely grateful to him.
Zack is first rate. We could not have succeeded without him. Everything was clearly explained; the entire process was quick and efficient.
Working with Zack made the process easy. Not only was he helpful but he went above and beyond what a broker would do. I highly recommend Guaranteed Rate and especially Zack.
Zack was amazing to work with and speak to. This was my first home purchase and I had so many questions. He was extremely patient with me, and always responded quickly, even on the weekend or at night. It seemed as if Zack anticipated my questions, and often reached out to me with answers before I even posed the questions. I was informed each step of the way what to expect and what was required of me. The team made everything so easy to follow. My loan officer was able to smoothly get me from a pre-approval and completed application through the loan approval and underwriting phases timely.
Zack made it happen again for us! He is very thorough and professional with his work. Proactive and resourceful, he made us understand the savings involved in getting our home refinanced. He walked us through all the technicalities and it was obvious to us that this is the right choice. He was also very patient and answered all our endless questions! Pleasure to work with and we will certainly recommend him again.
Thank you to Zack Tolmie, he truly helped to make this as painless as possible for us. He was professional and yet so kind and considerate with any questions that we had and accommodated us no matter what the time. [His team] was such a help with processing all our loan requirement papers and especially when we felt out of our comfort zone. They were there leading us along with such patience. And most of all, they all took the time to encourage us. My sincerest thank you!

Bentz, supporters state case to A-C board
Embattled Annville-Cleona softball coach Dave Bentz and a group of supporters asked the school board and administration to bring Bentz back as head coach next season.
Annville-Cleona High School softball coach Dave Bentz knows and admits he made a mistake last month when he loaned his keys to the school to a player for the purpose of playing an ultimately harmless prank.
It was an error in judgment that Bentz and those who support him do not dispute. What they do dispute is the A-C administration's belief that the misstep should cost Bentz his job.
On Thursday night, they brought their case before the Annville-Cleona Board of School Directors at its monthly workshop meeting.
A total of eight residents, including Bentz himself, addressed the board in eloquent and at times emotional fashion, each imploring the board and the school's administrators to reconsider their stance and bring Bentz back for a 12th season as head coach.
Whether or not their efforts prove to be successful remains to be seen.
Board President Mark Frattarole said prior to the public comment session that he and his fellow directors would not be speaking publicly about the Bentz situation because it is a personnel matter, and after the meeting, district Superintendent Cheryl Potteiger indicated that no action on Bentz's status would be taken at next week's voting meeting.
So the situation remains as is for now. The district wants Bentz to resign and presumably will not recommend that he be re-hired. Bentz, for his part, refuses to resign, something he reiterated to the board on Thursday.
"I made a mistake, just like others do, but I am the only one getting punished," Bentz said, noting that none of the students involved in the prank were disciplined by the school. "It doesn't seem fair to me, considering there probably isn't another coach in the building who hasn't given up his or her keys for some reason along the way...But I'm not here to get other people in trouble. I'm just here to state my case so that I can continue coaching softball at A-C.
"I just want to coach. You can punish me other ways if you want — missing games, or you can take all or part of my coaching salary for next year and donate it to Thon. I don't care. We coaches at A-C don't coach for money, we coach because we love to coach."
Also addressing the board were Bentz's wife, Rhonnda, who presented a petition started by Coach Bentz's daughter, Lindsay Stevens, with 375 signatures of support from residents and current and former players. She expressed a belief held by many supporters that "the punishment does not fit the crime."
"Does he deserve to be punished for it? Yes." she said. "Does he deserve to lose his job over it? Absolutely not."
Also addressing the board were two current A-C softball players, Morgan Zimmerman and Amber Rexrode, who spoke highly of Bentz as a coach, mentor and role model for the girls who have passed through the program during his tenure.
In addition, retired teacher and former softball parent Jim Batchelor, scorekeeper Mike Miller, who has had daughters and a granddaughter play softball at A-C, and Steve Kreamer, a close friend of Bentz, also spoke up in support of the coach.
But the most powerful speaker may have been Sue Ernst, who read a letter her daughter and former A-C catcher Cassie Ernst wrote to Potteiger that hailed Bentz's impact on her life. She is currently a police officer in Philadelphia and credited Bentz with developing her into the person she is today.
"Ten years ago I was a scrawny 14-year-old freshman at Annville-Cleona with dreams of playing softball in college," Ernst's letter said. "It was Dave Bentz who helped make my dreams become reality. Without him, I don't think I'd be where I am today... Dave never gave up on me and gave me every possible chance to shine and learn the game."
Ernst went on to play college softball at Moravian before settling into her current career in law enforcement.
"Bad things happen to good people, and that's exactly what happened here," Ernst said in the letter, while asking for Bentz to get a second chance. "The right thing is always worth it in the end."

Belgian Pork Exports Up MarginallyBELGIUM - In the first half of 2015, Belgium exported 346,300 tonnes of pork, less than 1 per cent up compared with the same period in 2014.
As a result of an 11 per cent fall in the price of Belgium exports compared to the same period last year, the value from January to June totalled €575.3 million, down 10 per cent on the first half of 2014.
Third country exports remain small, accounting for little more than 5 per cent of total shipments, and were down 2 per cent on the year.
Exports to Belgium's main destination for pig meat, Germany, which takes over a third of shipments, were down 6 per cent year on year. In contrast, supply to Poland, Belgium's second largest market, recorded a 19 per cent increase in the period, compared to the same time last year.
With Germany and Poland importing two thirds of Belgium's supply between them, the remaining third is distributed amongst smaller markets.
Shipments to the Netherlands and Italy fell by 7 per cent and 16 per cent retrospectively year on year, while supplies to the UK, a relatively small export market for Belgium, increased by 24 per cent.

From vinyl to digital, my obsession lives on
By Steve Almond November 23, 2009
Text size – +
Technology has made the pursuit of our pleasures much easier. But in so doing, I often wonder if it has made them less sacred. My kids will grow up in a world that makes every song they might desire instantly available to them. And yet I sort of pity them that they will never know the kind of yearning I did.

Savannah McCord named Lincoln Academy student laureate
November 2, 2015
Savannah McCord, a senior from St. Louis, knew she was nominated as SIU's 2015 Lincoln Academy student laureate before the expected announcement on Oct. 23. But on that day, after a week of nervous anticipation, she was ready to accept any outcome, so long as it came soon.
Every year the Lincoln Academy honors one student from each of Illinois' universities and community colleges for outstanding academic excellence and leadership with the prestigious Abraham Lincoln Civic Engagement Award. For McCord, it was an honor just to be nominated.
"That whole week I was like, 'When am I going to find out?'" she said.
McCord was sitting next to her best friend Deanna Price in Lawson Hall after class when she received an e-mail from the office of interim Chancellor Brad Colwell. She read all the way up to the word "congratulations" before she started crying.
"I didn't know whether to go run five miles out of excitement, or stop and call everybody," McCord said, cheerfully recalling the memory.
McCord did not go out and run five miles. Instead, she bought thank-you notes for all of the people she said helped her along the way, many of them being mentors and professors who had been strong, professional role models for the 21-year-old scholar.
McCord will be presented with an official medallion, receive a $1,000 grant and meet Gov. Bruce Rauner in the Hall of Representatives during the Student Laureate Convocation at the Old State Capitol in Springfield on Nov. 7.
As she nears the end of her time at the university, McCord said she feels grateful for the chance to make a difference at the university, and sees the award as an acknowledgement of her contribution.
"I felt like [receiving the award] took everything that I had done here and brought it to life," McCord said.
A dual degree-seeking student in psychology and business, McCord has received honors from both the College of Business and the College of Liberal Arts, participated in undergraduate research projects and worked as a resident assistant at Neely Hall and the Wall & Grand Apartments, among a plethora of other achievements.
She even got her first and last 'B' here — the only tarnish on her 3.97 grade point average — courtesy of her Computer Information Systems class.
McCord chalks it up to being "technologically challenged."
But she's best known as a feature twirler for the Marching Salukis, and attributes much of her success to the lessons she has learned from it.
McCord was just 5 years old when she picked up her first baton. What began as childhood curiosity became an obsession, and she's been doing it for the last 16 years.
"It's always been a reminder to me to put my 100 percent effort into everything; put my heart and soul into everything that I do, and I've done that since I was little," McCord said.
And the graceful juggling act she performs on Saturdays when the Dawgs play serves as a metaphor for the way she continues to live her life.
"The more I try to fight my batons the worse I end up twirling, but the more I just kind of 'roll with it' — literally — it serves me a lot better," McCord said.
She is scheduled to graduate with honors in May and plans to head back to St. Louis when she's done.
McCord is not entirely sure what she will do after graduation. There was talk of grad school. Something with human resources law, maybe. But no matter what she ends up doing for a living, McCord said she wants to continue to work toward helping others in her community.
"Anything is possible," she said.

Donal Cervin was scared. He'd kept a secret from his Christian parents for four years, and he was getting ready to tell them through a letter.
Donal was in love with Katy Perry—her music, her messages, and how much he had in common with her. But her music was a little taboo compared to the values of his strict Christian upbringing. While growing up, he was surrounded by Christian and gospel music with the exception of a few other artists his family considered to be "wholesome."
He was 11 when his older brother introduced him to Perry. His brother could listen to more secular music without his parents knowing because he had a radio in his room.
At 15, Donal was tired of hiding this from his parents. He wanted them to accept the music he felt so passionate about. So he wrote a letter about how much Perry meant to him, explaining that he'd kept it a secret for so long out of the fear that they wouldn't let him listen to her anymore. But he didn't like keeping secrets from them.
As he slid the letter under his parents' bedroom door, he worried what they might think of Perry's songs, such as "I Kissed a Girl," "Hot and Cold," and "Ur So Gay"—which he never played around them.

|Problems executing ./configure on Solaris
|Wed, 23 Oct 2002 11:26:15 -0700
Hello, I'm having trouble using scripts generated by autoconf on Solaris 8. No matter what package is involved (I've tried mutt, ncurses, and slocate so far), the ./configure process hangs when attempting to create config.status. It was suggested to me that I try changing all instances of /bin/sh to one of the existing bash instances on my system, but this did not fix anything. Trussing the process shows it has gone to sleep, config.log shows nothing out of the ordinary -- there just aren't any error messages to be found! As this occurs when trying to compile several different packages, and as non-autoconf packages (e.g. postfix) compile without incident, I can only assume that the problem lies in the configure script generated by autoconf. Any assistance would be appreciated -- there are some security updates for this server (which is not the one this mail is coming from, thanks) that are pending a functional build platform! Thanks in advance... -- Lorrie
