Students at Ashley River Creative Arts Elementary School are confident, and proud to talk about their school. They call their school unique and fun. We're in West Ashley for our Cool School of the week.

The school serves 600 students in kindergarten through fifth grade, and has several special education classes. Students participate in drama, P.E., music, visual arts, ballet, Spanish, and the Suzuki violin method, which allows parents to play a vital role in strings instruction.

The school has a very active PTA, with more than one hundred volunteers weekly in the school.
Ashley River Creative Arts School provides a unique curriculum, project based and hands on learning experience for students. "Our children are first of all confident learners. They're friendly. They're outgoing. They believe in themselves. I really think it's the arts that makes that difference for them," says co-principal Jayne Ellicott." She says, "Children develop this wonderful inner sense of self, and that's what makes it a cool school, we have children go out and be wonderful future adults that are involved and engaged in the community." Fourth grade student Adam Bauer says, "We have teachers who give enthusiasm when they're talking." Kindergarten teacher Cadence Volousky says, "There's excitement everyday. Something new is going on, new activities, always something different, something special everyday." Kindergarten student Kylie Swain says, "It's just really fun." Fifth grade student, Jenny Lever says, "It's fun here. It's different. It's unique, and the teachers are amazing and the students are too."

Current thought:
I miss my parents. Even though they were Strigoi and were really bad people. I keep composure and I act tough all the time. But I still feel this emptiness inside. The emptiness of being alone when you have no one to turn to when you're down.
I want a family. I need a family.

What's NewBig Fixes
Scratch Off's can now be shared web and all major mobile phones, Android, Windows, and Blackberry.
App DescriptionScratch Off is fun way to share photos with a surprise. Scratch Off allows you to snap a picture with your camera and cover it with an erasable layer of paint and stickers!
The photo sharing process is simple:
◆ Capture an interesting or funny picture from your camera or choose from pics in your photo library.
◆ Cover your image up with permanent or erasable paint, stickers and text captions.
◆ Share it privately with your friend or on Facebook/Twitter.
Your friend can then scratch off the erasable items to reveal your hidden photo creation.
Set a timer on your photo to make it viewable only for a certain period of time. When the time period expires, the photo is no longer available for viewing.
Scratch Off photos are meant to be only viewed once. Once your photo has been viewed once, it is no longer available through the share link unless the "forever" time option was selected in the scratch off editor.
One of the great things about Scratch Off is that there is no need for a special account. You can share pics through your standard SMS messenger tool or email client.
- Scratch of Paint can be used to cover an entire photo or applied to a portion of the image.
- Use permanent stickers to cover areas of your photo that you want to remain hidden and private.

SACRAMENTO, CA - MARCH 24: California Gov. Jerry Brown stands next to a chart that shows dollar amounts in the millions that were cut from the State's budget following a bill signing on March 24, 2011 in Sacramento, California. California Gov. Jerry Brown signed 13 bills into law that will cut $11.2 billion from California's budget deficit. $12.6 billion still needs to be cut to balance the budget. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
I love it when Californians claim the state needs a spending cap.
Because we already have one.
And we're $17 billion under that cap.
The Gann spending limit was approved by voters in 1979. It was loosened by voters -- most notably in 1990 -- to exclude school funding. Which is why some want a new spending cap. The old one isn't tight enough.
In some recent polls, voters say they support a spending limit. But, as KQED's John Myers points out in this smart post on Gann and the state's obsession with spending limits, the same polls show voters oppose cuts to the biggest state programs. So what do voters really want?
The answer to that question is: like the worst girlfriend or boyfriend you ever had, the people of California are angry at how things are going, but they don't know what they want done differently.

Shame On You, BET!
Dr. Janet Taylor: I watched the recent BET (Black Entertainment Television) Awards Show, held at the Shrine Auditorium, for two reasons. The first was obviously because I wanted to watch the tribute to the recently departed Michael Jackson. The audience, including myself, was not disappointed. From Beyonce to the surprise appearance of Michael's sister, Janet, the awards show touched the hearts of millions. The second reason that I tuned in was for the live acts. There is nothing like listening to singers in real time.
Now, I enjoy rap, with the exception of rappers who use lyrics to degrade, defame, or threaten others. In my opinion, the music is not productive and I frequently will simply turn it off. On the show, when rapper Drake appeared sitting down to rest his torn Achilles, I was like, OK ... pretty tame. I don't have a problem with Lil' Wayne; he is creative and his writing is brilliant at times. However, his song "Every Girl" is offensive and disturbing. Here are the shocking lyrics -- read them with caution. Perhaps, they are what our kids are used to. I have teenagers, girls no less, who have heard the song and like it. My problem was with the preteens who were proudly onstage, shaking their groove thang to this misogynistic, disrespectful song. It was ridiculous. Debra Lee, the CEO of BET, also the mother of two children, should be asking herself who approved this and how these young girls were allowed to be a part of this "act."
It is time for perspective here. In the minutes that were wasted onstage during this song, almost four women were forcibly raped in the United States. The age group of 13-17, to which these young "dancers" belong, has the highest number of victims of forcible rape at 32%. Women who are sexually or physically abused just once in their lifetimes are more likely to experience a poor range of physical and mental health outcomes.
Why are we as women and mothers passively allowing our young girls to be utilized as sexual entertainment? We need to wake up and understand the importance of what we expose our children and teens to. Surely, you would not pop in porn for movie night with your family, so how can one justify the bright idea of preteens rocking out to hardcore rap under the watchful eyes of the adults in the audience?
The negative portrayal of young women and girls can lead to unequal power in relationships, influence sexual behavior, contribute to violence against women, and challenge what are acceptable norms and behavior within gender. I am not making an indictment against rap; my issue is with the producers who allowed this debacle to happen.
Find the clip (we tried, but it looks like BET has pulled it from YouTube), and talk to your daughters and sons about the song and the "dancers." It's an opportunity to hear their feedback and share your own thoughts and experiences.
For the record, my girls thought that it "was strange" and inappropriate. They were embarrassed for the girls. I agree.
** Editor's note: We contacted BET for a comment. They have yet to get back to us.

Her company, Mind Projects, Inc., specializes in corporate stress management and consumer health strategies. She practices in Chelsea and lives with her husband and four daughters in New York.
With regards to lil Wayne's "every girl" performance… I missed it; however, after hearing the song on mainstream radio I decided to purchase the song 2 weeks ago on itunes. I did by the Explicit version by choice. However, NEVER, before have I been so embarrased by a songs lyrics. I have 2 teen boys and 2 teen girls and am appalled by the nonchalant way that this generation speaks to the world.
It is an uphill battle to raise kids with respect today…
My friends, I'd rather live in a world where men can express their desire than in a world where they can't. Rather in world where they can express it as rawly as they feel it than in a world where they pinkwrap it. It's a form of knowledge, and you two — the writer and the first replier — want to not know. And _that_ is the worst thing you can do to your daughters.
YOU can say this with conviction I might add and get away with it…however a "white" person would be called racist. So what does that make you?
I was appalled and embarassed at how BET let not only Lil Wayne but a few others show their colors and ruin Michael Jackson's tribute. I was absolutely embarrassed to watch those young GIRLS dancing on stage to those lyrics. Half the song was even bleeped out due to its offensive language. BET should be ashamed.
Sorry cassamandra, maybe in your sad world all men are like Lil"Wayne but not my.
We, all of us, need to speak up and say that attitude and behaviour is unacceptable. How else are our kids going to know? That's our right to free speech.
I've thougth Lil Wayne been disgusting since "Fireman"
And Jamie Fox's "Alcohol" (waiting for a women to get drunk enough to take advantage of her) is disgusting too.
If ain't part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
Thanks Dr Taylor for writing this piece.
The lyrics are disgusting. I can't believe it. I agree that this is embarrassing and our teens are so used to hearing these words, they don't think twice. They are immune.
Look, if you don't like it, don't listen to it. Little Wayne and Drake are entertainers. Are their songs so different from Marvin Gaye, or Michael Bolton. The answer is no. The real problem is the miseducation of today's youth in knowing the difference between misogynistic offensive lyrics, and a little harmless word play about girls they are into. The lyrics are very tamed from what they usually are. I appreciate that these fine young strapping stallions are doing something creative and positive with their talents. And what's the harm of giving a few girls some airtime on a highly watched channel. I'm sure they tivo'd the event and will remember it for years to come. Drake and Little Wayne are role models we can all want our children to look up to…and aspire to be.
WOW! that song is down right bad.. never ever would i let my girl listen to something like that
Dr. Taylor, I was equally appalled to see such youngins on stage during that act. As a fan of hip hop and lover of free expression, I too, thought BET should not have allowed such young girls on stage for that particular act. As I watched the award show with my Facebook crew, we were all sending similar WTF?? messages about the tweens on stage. Consenting adults, maybe. 12-year olds? Hell to the no! BET. We can do better. We must do better.
I just want to know when rappers, BET, mamas, daddies and everyone of us is going to say enough is enough already. How in God's name could it have seemed like a good idea to allow young girls on stage while those lyrics were being sung? In whose reality does this make any sense whatsoever? The only thing that will save rappers from continuing to look and sound like pervs looking for sex wherever they can find it is if a popular rapper stands up and says that THAT performance was just too much. SHAME on BET and WOW what a missed opportunity to do a real tribute performance instead of that embarassing, "bleep" filled song.
I am a 24 year old woman and I was appalled and disgusted to watch lil Wayne's performance. It was Disgusting. My husband and I watched the show together and we could not believe those young girls were dancing on stage. Our mouths dropped to the floor when we saw their young tween faces. I would love to support an African American cable channel, but with garbage like that on I just can't.
Lil Wayne and Drake and whomever can only sell what consumers purchase. On the same accord, the BET caters to those consumers. If that's what their market is requesting and dancing to and purchasing, those are the performers they need to book for good business. I personally don't like them, and choose not to listen nor to watch BET. I watched the awards for the MJ tribute, and do feel certain performances should have been nixed for the sake of the tribute…but placing blame on Lil Wayne or BET (which are business entities) isn't fair. Rappers have the right to express themselves in any manner they wish. It's up to us as responsible individuals to decide what we support, and to help our children distinguish garbage from artistic content.
Well I am here to say that Lil Wayne and Drake are not supposed to be raising your children, YOU ARE. I do believe that of the children dancing one is his daughter and the other you may as well say is his niece or at least the daughter of a very close friend. The girls have a group coming out and probably thought this would be good press so to speak. We are blasting BET; however BET is not the parents of these children. Stop letttin the tv, school, video games, etc. raise out children and raise them ourselves!
On another not the tribute to Michael Jackson was horrible! BET SHOULD HAVE done much better. I hope MTV will
Years ago, when our local cable channel tried to take BET out of their line-up, I organized a campaign that led to their reconsidering that move. Over the years, I've watched you pull every show worth watching, such as BET on Jazz, and black documentaries, replacing them with the trash and buffoonery we see today. My thought is that A: The staff is actually composed of white KKK members, bent on showing us in as bad a light as possible, or B: This station has been taken over by a staff of backward thinking, ghetto minded, uneducated, African americans, who lack the insight, education and Will to bring quality to what should be a channel for ALL our people, and not just the thugs being currently catered to.
To say that the the awards show was a disgrace is charitable, at best. I never thought that I would say this, but if this was the best you could offer, I can't blame the rest of America for laughing at us as a race, and thinking that we only care about money and sex. You've brought shame to all of us, and the damage you've done both to our image, and the psyche of Black America is incomprehensible.
That being said, I want you to know that I will do everything in my power to get rid of BET. And I think that we as a people should start to take a long look at ourselves, and take back control of our culture from these no talent "Artists". And to Jamie Fox: I'm DONE with you, "Brother".
Rap music has given us nothing. It's designed for people who can barely sing, can't write, and are too lazy to play an insrument. No, a turntable is not an instrument. It's financed by white america, and our young people stupid enough to fall for the hype. It's like watching kids on the playground telling each other nasty words. We're better than that, people. All of us.
You need to shut BET down. Or you need to start respecting us as a community of intelligent, proud, African Americans.
Shame on all of you, and condolences to the Jackson family, both for their loss, and the added suffering of being associated with this so-called "tribute". I'm so very sorry…..
I'm a 21 year old female and I like the song. I could live without them saying the "p" word multiple times but to each it's own. First off I didn't understand why that song was done, especially when we had been doing beautiful songs by Maxwell, Tevin Campbell, etc. It didn't make sense to me the show was supposed to be about Michael Jackson and not a word of that song had anything to do with what Michael Jackson stood for. There's a time and a place for everything, and that was neither the time nor the place. Lil Wayne should be ashamed of himself that he would let his daughter get on that stage. My mom would have snatched me up by my roots. Those little girls should be at home playing with dolls, not up there shaking what their momma gave them.
i just think that the bet awards where horrible. i mean lil wayne perfomances was the least of my worries about how horrible the award show was. This show was about paying respect to a legend and they totally did it all wrong and it was needless to say garbage.
I don't think the fact that I am a white mother of 2 girls, 9 & 11, has much to do with the fact that I don't consider Lil Wayne to be a viable artist. I didn't care much for 2 Live Crew 20 years ago, either.
Perhaps the rapper chicks need to start spoutin' off a so-called song about short d**ks & 2 minute bruthas again.
Shame on BET in general. I know plenty of black people who don't consider the crap they air on that channel to be entertainment.
Now that I think of it, shame on the NAACP also. How can they sit back and not boycott this channel? BET sure as hell isn't going to lead to the "Advancement of Colored People". It only reinforces the stereotypes.
Alright listen, a song is a song it's entertainment. If you don't like the music, don't listen to it. As a parent you should be the one restricting what you let your children watch and hear. I think they were very wrong by having such young girls dancing but it's over and done with so what are we gonna drag it on and on? now about it being a tribute show. Listen people, they had a whole show lined up for over a month and changed the show the whole show in less in 48hrs. For that short amount of time, i think they did a great job.
Disgusting trash is what that song was…just pure trash. I would do everything in my power make sure my kids don't hear that crap. I am a very tolerant, open minded person but I am not that way for the sake of being that way. Just because it's just a song and it's freedom of speech doesn't make it ok. Ick.
Hmmm….. and people wonder why so many young girls have no respect for themselves???

It was here. My mom was turning 70. All her kids (there are 3 of us), her grandchildren (of which there are two,) and her one and only great-grandchild were all going to be in town to celebrate with her. Since I had just added a deck to my house and my dad and I had built a beautiful barnwood dining table, we decided to host a dinner for her at my house, al fresco. It was August and the weather gods were on our side…it was truly a "glory day" as my mom would call it.
The table was set with simple white flowers from the garden. I had an abundance of fresh basil in my garden so I thought I would add a few sprigs to the arrangement on the table. This added a nice pop of dark green to the arrangement and flooded the dining area with the freshness of basil. Plus, mom loves basil.
I had asked mom select the menu for her special day, but had a few surprises up my sleeve, too. See, mom loves lobster, but she would NEVER ask to include lobster for 12 people on her menu…but I was going to do it anyway. She's my mom and it was her special day. The lobster to be served was unbeknownst to her as she set out to choose her meal. She selected an assortment of grilled stuffed chicken breasts, making sure that there was something for everyone. My brother-in-law and 12 year-old nephew are a little finicky so rosemary ham and Swiss cheese was selected for them; artichoke, sundried tomato and goat cheese for mom; and prosciutto and fresh sage filling for dad. The rest of us not-so-finicky would enjoy a little slice of each! OK, back to the lobster. As much as we all love lobster, it can be a touch on the messy side and quite honestly, I wasn't thrilled about soiling the beautiful table with random lobster shrapnel. Nor did I want the guests to be covered in shell. I decided to go straight to the expert, Pat Yorek, Meat & Seafood Director at Lunds and Byerly's, to see what lobster options might be out there. Well, my timing was perfect because he told me about a new lobster we had just started offering – "The Naked Lobster." Yup, naked. As in no shell. I must admit, I was intrigued by this Naked Lobster of which he spoke. I set out to learn more and found that it was actually a whole, raw lobster that had been removed from its shell in its entirety. How they do this, I do not know, nor do I care to know. Before me it sat, in a shrink wrapped tray, a completely naked little lobster. It looked a little extra-terrestrial and a tad creepy, but still, in some strange way, like a lobster …only naked. Ah ha! This would be a perfect appetizer for mom's special dinner…she gets lobster, and my beautiful table doesn't get messy, nor do the guests. Some shrimp and a few scallops would round out the grilled seafood platter for an appetizer on the deck, under the big oak tree…al fresco.
The day of the party, I whipped up traditional cocktail sauce and green goddess sauce using the fresh herbs from the garden and then set to work on grilling these two naked lobsters. I decided to place the whole lobsters on a sheet of aluminum foil and bend up the sides a bit to create a foil tray. A little drizzle of melted butter on top and they was ready to be placed on the grill. The shrimp and scallops were in their own tray (you see, the beauty of aluminum foil on the grill is that you still get the grill marks through the foil, but nothing will slip through the grates.)

SPOKANE -- A single tweet hinted at some welcome news Wednesday morning for Gonzaga fans.
Gary Bell Jr. wrote "Guess Who's Bizackkkkk...!!!!", the first sure sign that the junior guard could be back in the lineup when the Bulldogs host San Diego Thursday night.
That wasn't a slight of hand by Bell. A Gonzaga spokesperson confirmed to KREM 2 Wednesday afternoon that Bell has been cleared to play by team doctors.
Gonzaga lost the starting guard to a broken hand against Santa Clara on December 28th. Two days later they announced that he would be sidelined for 4-to-6 weeks. Bell has missed six games in the three-and-a-half weeks since the injury.
Prior to being sidelined, Bell was Gonzaga's third leading scorer at 12.7 points per game.

beauty bitches are loving Bliss's latest cleanser, the triple oxygen instant energizing cleansing foam.
this sulfate-free cleanser is super foamy and removes impurities and all traces of makeup (yes, even waterproof!). added doses of oxygen from majus leaf flower and regenerative soy plant proteins leaves skin radiant and nourished. chamomile and aloe soothe skin, while vitamin C brightens. the best part is that skin is not stripped- but left super hydrated and soft, plus it's great for every skin type.
trust us beauties, you need this Bliss cleanser in your life!!
<3 heather + molly
After numerous attempts to get my boyfriend to use a daily cleanser, he has now turned me on to one. Yes, i am wondering what on earth is going on!
While he was on tour in Chicago a few months back, he told me had tried this awesome cleanser while staying at a friend's place. Of course he couldn't remember what brand it was but said it tingled and was in a silver and blue container. I instantly knew it had to be from the men's skincare line, ZIRH and I was right. Clean, ZIRH's purifying cleanser, contains several AHA's (alpha hydroxy acids) including glycolic, lactic, and malic. These acids will help speed up your cellular turnover (byebye wrinkles!), get rid of flaky dead skin, unclog blackheads, and help fade discolorations. It also doubles as a toner, kills bacteria, and has menthol to soothe.
Recently I surprised him with a bottle and had to try it out myself. What can i say, I'm in love with it! I've been using Clean for about a month now and my skin looks and feels super soft and radiant, (not to mention i have yet to breakout)!
This one def makes our bitch list. Thank you, baby ;)

ZURICH (Reuters) - U.S. authorities and Credit Suisse
Credit Suisse is now the largest bank in a long-running U.S. crackdown on undeclared funds held in hidden offshore accounts, including in Switzerland. Scores of Swiss banks have offered to cooperate with U.S. authorities in order to avoid prosecution.
A 2009 settlement for UBS
Credit Suisse has said it is cooperating with prosecutors and keen to reach a deal and, although no indications have been given on the size of any settlement, the bank took a 295 million Swiss franc ($324 million) provision three years ago to pay expected fines and legal fees.
The bank said in October it delivered "substantial, high-level" data on clients leaving, and is preparing to provide more specific information.
Sources told Reuters that since then, talks with U.S. officials have gone quiet because the U.S. authorities' focus had shifted to the wider Swiss banking industry.
Spokespeople for Credit Suisse and the U.S. justice department declined to comment on the report.

Google's "Android Future" & The Case For Microsoft
David is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The smartphone market has seen tremendous innovation, but I think one issue that has not been addressed enough is that innovation breeds competition. There are virtually no barriers to entry in this kind of high-growth tech innovation: today's winners become yesterday's fads, and the market barely takes time to notice. Accordingly, multiples can stay hot for an irrational time as cutting-edge substitutes start to make inroads. Apple shareholders have started to take note, but it has not done enough to lift Google's stock price. Can we expect the market to correct this anomaly? And will Microsoft repeat Google's success?
Why You Should Buy Google (NASDAQ: GOOG)
As the days go by, I continue to be amazed that more investors are not jumping on the Google bandwagon. Though shares look expensive at 22.4x past earnings, this multiple is warranted due to the company's superior growth curve. It has a current ratio of 3.9x and a little less than one-fifth of the market capitalization represented by its $45.7 billion cash holding. Analysts forecasted 15.7% annual EPS growth over the next 5 years, which is still a rate 880 bps less than what was achieved in the past 5 years. I find that the company is likely to see a positive surprise to the current forecast, as the company moves towards a unified model that monetizes its leading assets: Gmail, Search, YouTube, Chrome, and, specifically, Android.
It has been interesting to watch Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) growth story unfold due to the success of Android. Here are the November 2012 numbers: Apple has 53.3% of the domestic market while Google's has fallen 1,090 bps to a 41.9% share. But, in Europe, Android still has 51% of the market versus 25.3% for iPhone. Android also has 60% and 72.2% of the "Urban China" and Brazil markets, respectively. Overall, Android has a majority of smartphone sales, and this dominancy is only likely to increase with a growth of 1,750 bps y-o-y in the third quarter. There are several other catalysts that are likely to further steepen the growth curve: X Phone and Nexus sales.
It has been reported that Google is developing a high-end phone, the "X Phone", with Motorola Mobility, which is called the "X Phone". Many have complained that Android is a charity, even though it has been the source of the company's accelerated growth rate through a very weak 2008 economy. Although more Android devices are being purchased, Apple's iOS devices are still seeing more commercial use. iOS's share of the tracked ad impression market is 63% despite having only 15% of the smartphone market. But the X Phone should create even more obvious monetization opportunities that will cause Google's stock price to take off. Further, the company is already expected to have around 42.7% of the tablet market, and I see the introduction of a $99 Nexus furthering penetration. I strongly encourage investing before that becomes too obvious.
Don't Give Up On Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT)
Amidst all of the smartphone and tablet innovation, there has been one clear loser: Microsoft. Google's apps manager Clay Bavor said it best when he explained that "We invest and will go where the users are, but they are not on Windows Phone or Windows 8". However, I believe the downside has been more than factored into the stock price, since the company trades at only 10.3x free cash flow versus 11.8x for Apple and18.6x for Google.
While I think it is reasonable to argue that the company has become desperate with its abrupt decision to immediately roll out Surface beyond non-Microsoft stores, but there are numerous positive catalyst that are being overshadowed. China Mobile is aiming to sell two Windows Phone 8 models, and this is reinforced by the Windows Phone partnership with China Unicom. Microsoft had only 3% of the Chinese smartphone market in 3Q12, so there is definitely strong room for penetration. Consumers will still use PCs, and this creates significant synergistic value if the company can somehow get the market to accept a shift towards its mobile OS. To help create demand, Microsoft has taken the right approach in building 14 Indian innovation centers and planning launch 100 more in the emerging market between 2013 and 2015.
Analysts forecast 9.6% annual EPS growth over the next 5 years. Assuming the company meets expectations, 2016 EPS will come out to $4.22, which, at a multiple of 14x, translates to a future stock value of $59.15. When you factor in dividends, this comes out to 26.4% average annual returns. This provides a significant margin of safety at today's prices, and I encourage buying now.

MISSION - Linda Marroquin Cardenas left us on July 25, 2011 and now rests in the arms of God, free of pain and suffering. She faced her illness with courage and an undying faith in the Lord her God.
Mrs. Cardenas was born in Mercedes on February 17, 1949 and graduated from Mercedes High School in 1967. She retired from Southwestern Bell Telephone Company in 1991, after 23 years.

A compassionate, loving, caring, and unselfish person, she cared about her family, and would never put her needs before anyone else. She thought of others first and had a way of making anyone she knew or had just met feel important. She never met a stranger she did not like.
She is survived by her husband, Rigo Cardenas; daughters, Lisa (Cesar) Villarreal of Sharyland, Gina (Jason) Skloss, Christina Cardenas (Ricco Ollervidez) from McAllen and Angela (Randy) Copeland of Denton; sisters, Ofelia (Vicente) Estevis of Edinburg, Odilia Marroquin of Mercedes; brother, Mike Marroquin; and six grandchildren, Christopher, Anthony, and Sebastian Villarreal of Sharyland, and Dakota, Hunter, and Miranda Copeland of Denton.
She was preceded in death by her father and mother, Tomas and Santos Marroquin; brothers, Tomas Jr., Rodolfo and Baldemar Marroquin; sisters, Sylvia Rodriguez and Delia Flores; and father-in-law, Ruben Cardenas.
Visitation will be held Thursday, July 28, at Ric Brown Family Funeral Home from 3 to 9 p.m. with a memorial service and celebration of her life at 7 p.m. There will be no funeral services as her wishes were to be cremated.
In lieu of floral tributes, donations may be made to the Sharyland ISD Education Foundation or the Food Bank RGV.

"I've got a great idea for a business, but I don't have any money to get it started! Where can I go to get money from the government or to find investors to help me start my business?"
If I had a dime for every time I've been asked this question, I'd be wealthy enough to establish my own small-business loan company. Almost every person with a start-up business wishes he or she could find the money tree. In fact, many people use their lack of funds as an excuse for not starting or expanding their businesses. Here's what I tell them: You must not really want to make it happen! Successful entrepreneurs realize there are many ways to bootstrap yourself to success.
One of the most popular ways to find the business funding you need is to ask your family and friends. However, mixing money and relationships can be a recipe for disaster, but it doesn't have to be that way. Most of the relationship problems occur because the transactions were handled poorly. Therefore, to avoid a relationship disaster, before seeking funds from family and friends, do the proper preparation. You should approach a family or friend loan as professionally as you would any other source of funding. This means you should be ready to make a business plan presentation. Demonstrate to your potential investors that you have a well-thought-out plan with defensible strategies and projections.
Before you begin dialing for dollars, make a list of potential investors—people you know, including family, friends, and business associates. At this stage, you don't worry about whether you think they'll be interested; you just make the list.
Once you have your list, you can narrow it down. Here are some things to consider:
- Affluence-Can this person afford to lose the money? Remember, there is a high degree of risk involved in investing in a small business, so consider the individual's financial well-being.
- Business experience-The best investor is someone who understands the entrepreneurial process and can evaluate your business prospects. Often successful entrepreneurs are interested in learning about new ventures and helping start-up businesses succeed.
- Emotional baggage-Avoid asking someone with whom you have had conflict in the past. A precarious relationship could lead to problems in your business. Additionally, don't ask someone who may have to deal with repercussions from others in the event he or she loans you money. For example, a spouse who might become angry about the investment could create serious problems, and you don't need additional issues to deal with when you are trying to get your business off the ground.
Once you have narrowed your list down to the top potential investors, schedule meetings with them to discuss the opportunity. After you meet with them and review your plan, give them time to review the information and think it over. Never put pressure on anyone to make an immediate decision. Ask when a good time to follow up might be.
Be careful about getting your hopes up just because someone agrees to meet with you. People will often say no regardless of their feelings toward you. Don't take it personally. There may be issues in their lives of which you aren't aware, and those may make them uncomfortable loaning or investing at this time. Never get angry or make someone feel guilty, and don't resort to emotional blackmail. Maintain your integrity. Things may change and you never know when you might need to approach someone again in the future, when the outcome may be in your favor.
Has your small business made presentations to individual investors for start-up funding? What did you learn that you can share with others?

Scott Pilgrim Video Game Details EmergeUbisoft's comic and movie-inspired video game Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is a downloadable side-scrolling beat 'em up, Game Informer reveals, coming to the PlayStation 3 in August and then Xbox 360 sometime later.
Supporting up to four offline players, the game follows the events of the tongue-in-cheek comic and (presumably) the upcoming film, with Game Informer writing that "the levels follow along with the book volumes, as world three takes place inside the club where our heroes take on rival band The Clash at Demonhead just like in [book three]."
In related news, a new trailer for the comic-inspired film--directed by Edgar Wright, starring Michael Cera and expected to hit theaters on August 13--recently arrived:

Enclos design engineer named to prestigious "40 Under 40" list

Enclos is pleased and proud to announce that Jeff Vaglio, Design Engineer at our Advanced Technology Studio in Los Angeles, has been named to Building Design + Construction magazine's prestigious "40 Under 40" list. The annual competition selects young professionals from the architecture, engineering and construction industry that are already making significant impacts amongst their professions, and what BD+C calls "the AEC industry's next generation of leadership." Members of the 2012 class were chosen from 223 applicants to join the 240 previous recipients of this honor, which originated in 2006.
Vaglio, PE, Assoc. AIA, LEED AP [BD+C], is committed to the notion of bridging the gap between architects and engineers. He has written extensively on his research of double-skin facades, and is a regular participant at the leading national and international AEC conferences. His project experience at Enclos includes a slew of specialty facade structures, ranging from cable nets (Seattle Family Foundation Headquarters) to point-supported systems (L.A. Live Tower & Residences), skylights (300 New Jersey Avenue) to double skins (Loyola University Chicago: Information Commons). Vaglio has an Architectural Engineering degree from The University of Kansas and Masters of Architecture from the University of Southern California, where he is currently a PhD candidate. He also participated in the Diploma in Innovation Program at USC.
"The building skin is the meeting point of aesthetics and performance," Vaglio says. "It is a boundary, yet a connector between interior and exterior environments. It integrates a wide range of structural solutions, and relies heavily on problem solving and collaboration between both architects and engineers."
The award submission was made by University of Southern California Ph.D. program chair Douglas Noble, FAIA, Ph.D. Noble also serves as Director of the USC School of Architecture's Facade Tectonics conference, in which Enclos' Vaglio and Mic Patterson have also helped to develop into one of the leading facade conferences in the nation. Vaglio and Patterson will also be major contributors to the upcoming USC School of Architecture's XED summer 2012 programs, where they will be coordinating Innovation and the Building Skin.
"Jeff has the extraordinary charisma of an outstanding faculty member," Noble says in a USC School of Architecture release. "We expect that his work will shape both the engineering of double-skin facades and the various building codes around the world."
Mic Patterson, who is a fellow student with Vaglio in addition to a colleague at Enclos, commented, "I have had the opportunity to work with a great many bright and talented young people in my career, but Jeff is simply the best. His natural instincts as a designer, backed by the combined educational background of engineer and architect, make him a force in the industry even at this early point in his career."
Join us in congratulating Jeff on this great honor!

South Florida boasts its share of boutique hotels, luxury resorts and well-known chains. But a Kansas company with a tiny footprint in the area believes the region needs more of something else: extended-stay lodging.
Value Place, which has 185 hotels in 32 states, is planning to spend $131 million to buy land and build 15 new hotels throughout Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties over the next two years.
Miami-Dade has only one Value Place, in Homestead, but it is owned by a franchisee. Prices there start at about $330 a week. The new properties will be owned by the hotel company, which already operates 19 hotels in the state.
David Redfern, president of Value Place Development, said Tuesday that construction on the first new hotel is expected to begin in January; two sites are already under contract. While he wouldn't name specific locations, Redfern said the company is looking at areas near major highways, large businesses and residential neighborhoods.
Value Place, which only offers weekly rates, is targeting South Florida for several reasons, Redfern said: growth in international and domestic businesses; a resurging residential market and robust tourism numbers.
While the company has expansion plans in other markets as well, South Florida is getting the biggest push.
Redfern said he believes there is demand for the product, which offers competitive prices but few frills. The hotels don't offer breakfast, a bar or workout facilities, among other amenities.
"We're not competing for the nightly hotel business," Redfern said. "I don't know if there needs to be another nightly hotel, but we think there needs to be a hotel that focuses on people who are staying a week."
Extended Stay America, which has locations throughout Miami-Dade and Broward, is the company's closest competitor, Redfern said. A search of one of the Doral locations shows a price tag of $630 for a week's stay.
Each of the new Value Place hotels will have 124 rooms with full kitchens. Rates will depend on other hotels in the area, but will likely be higher than other Value Place locations. The hotels emphasize safety, with entrances through interior corridors rather than room doors that open to a parking lot.
Miami hotel consultant Scott Brush said there is a need for quality budget-friendly options.
"It tries to provide a reasonable guest experience at a low cost," he said. "They aren't giving away a breakfast; they're limited as to what they do."
But Brush said many travelers don't want or can't afford to spend money on fancy hotel options.
"It really is a product that has its market," he said.

GREEN COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) - A southern Wisconsin man was injured in a freak accident during Monday's wind and hail storms.
Green County authorities said the wind blew a bed cover from a pick-up truck. The bed cover was then blown onto the front of a car, and a support bar brought through the car's windshield and injured the driver.
26-year-old Jamie Muniz of Monroe was taken to a hospital with a head injury. The pick-up driver, a 45-year-old South Beloit woman, was not hurt.

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
What I learned during my time as Verizon Scorekeeper was that Sarah Hecht is always on the move. There were moments where we were able to sit, but I can say that I've never covered that much ground inside the Rose Garden on any given night.
When I met Sarah, she had just got back from literally running to get her phone from her car. Right before our tour she was called in to a meeting with the new team President. Sarah told me how excited everyone was to meet him and learn his plans for the future of the organization. We then go through the labyrinth that is the Trail Blazers offices. You can tell by the number of offices and cubicles, it takes a large team to make sure things run smoothly at the RG.
Sarah lays out a very succinct schedule during dinner. There is a checklist about a mile long of things she needs to do before the game time, let alone her duties during the game. We head out through the concourse toward the court. I spot Bill Schonely and it takes everything in my power not to blurt out "RIIIIIIIIP CITY!" in order to not embarrass my gracious host. We walk onto the court and meet up with Orlando Williams (Duck Alum, shout out to U of O), who is talking with Dwight Jaynes. Again, holding back from belting out "GOD-FATHER" and having Sarah regret bringing me behind the scenes.
We sit down courtside on the Blazer bench and Sarah hands me the Verizon Wireless Tablet to document the rest of the night. Damian, Joel and Meyers are warming up. Damian is shooting closest to me and I notice that he's wearing a pair of Adidas that one of his fans designed for him through his Twitter contest. It's amazing how quickly this kid is endearing himself to the Portland fanbase. But playing like the Rookie of the Year will do that for you.
Sarah and I walk up to where they are filming the Pre-Game Jump. She gets a message that Damian has won his fifth consecutive Rookie of the Month award, joining the likes of LeBron James, Tim Duncan and David Robinson. I get to see how the show is put together and then before I knew it, they had already started filming.
As Sarah and Orland are doing the show, I go closer to the court and check out the happenings. It is insane how many different pre-game shows are taking place. We have Mike and Mike courtside, Jordan Kent (another Duck Alum) with Comcast underneath the Blazers basket, and Dwight Jaynes across the court. On top of that ESPN is also covering tonight's game, so it is a full house.
I hear a loud eruption of cheers and look over to the opposing side of the court to see Jeremy Lin entering the court. James Hardin comes out shortly after with a beard that has reached evil villain status. Not a big fan of his, as I recall him torching the Ducks when he played at Arizona State. On a brighter note, I did spot newly acquired Rocket, Aaron Brooks (last Duck reference I promise), who was pulled from the sinking ship that is the Sacramento Kings or soon to be Seattle Sonics. The cheerleaders take center court and begin practicing. Luke's attention is temporarily diverted.
Back to the action. LaMarcus finally comes out on the floor, having missed the last 4 games. Perfect timing to come back as Nicolas would be out for this game. LaMarcus and Caleb Kanales begin practicing pick and pop shooting drills. They seem to have a great chemistry, which is a testament to Kanales work with the team.
After the Pre-Game Jump wraps up Sarah and I run to the concourse to join Adam Bjaranson and Michael Holton. Sarah steps into to the broadcast to share some tweets and perspective. Something that I've been noticing this entire time is that Sarah is jumping in between her phone, tablet and laptop updating the various social media pages and Blazers site. She is seamlessly juggling multiple accounts and making sure that everyone is in the loop. I cannot imagine the pressure this creates, I can't even get one text off to a friend without having a misspelling or monumentally embarrassing auto-correct flub, yet she is cranking out these updates flawlessly.
The game is about to start and we take our seat in the media section to watch the game. LaMarcus starts out on fire and things look hopeful. There is a large contingent of Lin fans in the building, cheering on his every move. I do have to admit, that kid is talented. Couple of great alley-oop dunks by the Blazers bring the crowd to their feet. Blazers go on a run to keep the game close at halftime.
Harden, again, torched one of my favorite teams. Linsanity was in full force. There were a few shining moments in the game: L-Train, Sarah's Pick to Click, dominated with 32 points and 13 boards. Will Barton had a really solid all-around game, foreshadowing the performance he would have in a few days against Dallas.
We didn't get chalupas or a win, but I did have a great time seeing the game from a perspective I never thought I'd get to experience. Thanks to Sarah Hecht, the Trail Blazers and Verizon Wireless for making this possible.

The more time I spend in the garden the more residents I seem to see.  This morning I was greeted again by the falcon-in-residence. beautiful bird that seems to like to perch above the path. I will try to get a better photo of it.
Native to The Carolina Beach area the Spiny Orb Weaver is a very small but colorful crab-like spider.
The famous spider from Charlotte's Web is a barn orb-weaver spider, Araneus cavaticus. Orb weaving spiders produce the familiar flat, ornate, circular webs usually associated with spiders. Orbweavers come in many shapes and sizes, but the brightly colored garden orbweavers, Argiope spp., are the largest and best known.
Orbweavers are generally harmless and can be a nuisance when they build large webs in places inconvenient for humans. Despite their formidable appearance, orb weaver spiders are not considered dangerous.One of the bright-hued spiders is the spiny orb weaver, Gasteracantha cancriformis. Although not as large as some of the other orb weavers, its combined color, shape, and distinctive web makes G. cancriformis a very recognizable spider. http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu. Â
One of the special  residents of the Garden is the  Sarracenia x rehderi. Developed by Stanley Rehder it is unique  to our garden. Currently growing only in the Rehder garden's naturalized setting, it is the only location to view this wonderful plant outdoors in North Carolina.

Balat is known as a Jewish quarter--with a small Armenian population-- dating back to the Byzantine period. Balat's winding streets provided a meeting ground for navigators, seafarers, street vendors and porters. Following the earthquake of 1894 and a series of fires that affected not only the neighbourhood but whole city of Istanbul, the social structure of Balat underwent significant changes: The wealthiest section of the inhabitants left the district and moved to Galata, which is the current location of the Jewish institutions including the Chief Rabbinate and major synagogues. The emigration followed and one fourth of the population of Balat left for Israel after its establishment. After this time, the Jewish population was reduced to a minority in Balat, and a new wave of immigrants arrived from the towns of the Black Sea region, especially from Kastamonu. After the 1960s, the economic situation of Jewish residents of Balat improved and moved to Sisli. The result was the transformation of the urban structure of Balat due to the heavy influx of newcomers, especially a further group of working class people who were attracted by job prospects and the rather low rent.
Today, Fener and Balat are squeezed between city walls dating from the Byzantine period and hills surrounding the region in the other directions. The districts are not attractive because of the low visibility of the district seen from the transit road and a lack of parking facilities.Balat is in the area of Golden Horn. Fener and Balat are designed according to a unique road plan where a continuing array of streets intersects one another at perpendicular angles. The urban structure of the district is rather peculiar and can be traced to the division of plots following the fires that damaged the districts. The architectural uniqueness of the districts can be traced from the religious buildings and the facades projecting a harmonious view because of the bow windows.

US lawmakers vote against UN Internet regulation
US lawmakers vote against UN Internet regulation
The 397-0 vote, following a similar vote in the Senate, came as delegates were meeting in Dubai to revise a global telecom treaty, a gathering which some say could be used to impose new controls on the Internet.
Representative Greg Walden said ahead of the vote that lawmakers should "send a strong bipartisan, bicameral signal about America's commitment to an unregulated Internet."
He said Washington should not "stand idly by while countries like Russia and China seek to extort control over the Internet."
Representative Marsha Blackburn echoed the comments, saying that "several hostile countries are seeking to use this opportunity to impose new international regulations on the Internet."
She added: "We need to send a strong message to the world that the Internet has thrived under a decentralized, bottom-up multi-stakeholder governance model
The gathering which opened this week in Dubai of the UN's International Telecommunications Union has triggered fierce objections from Washington, and from Internet freedom activists who fear new rules that could end the freewheeling system of the Internet.
But ITU chief Hamadoun Toure, who kicked off the World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT-12) on Monday, said Internet freedom of expression will not be touched during the discussions at the meeting.
Among the critics, Google has been vocal in warning of serious repercussions on the Internet if proposals made by member states are approved at the WCIT-12 meeting, including permitting censorship over legitimate content.
Google and others also say some proposals would impose a "sender pay" system for the Web, which could lead to Web firms being forced to pay huge amounts to deliver their services globally.
The resolution approved by lawmakers expressed "the sense of Congress regarding actions to preserve and advance the multi-stakeholder governance model under which the Internet has thrived."

TEAMS: New York Rangers
One of the many questions the Rangers are going to have to deal with during this lockout is what to do with 2011 first round pick JT Miller. Jess Rubenstein at The Prospect Park tries to figure it out..."The problem for the Rangers is how best to handle Miller during the lockout as in a normal season, Miller would have been a shoo-in for the Whale roster. Now the Rangers need to consider whether or not to burn a year of Miller's entry level contract.The options for the Rangers with Miller are:- return Miller to the OHL and recall him if there is a settlement then let him play 10 games as a pro (NHL or AHL) before returning him to Plymouth.- let Miller play for 10 games (with CT Whale) then return him to the OHL (but nobody is clear whether or not the Rangers would still be able to recall him if there is a settlement)- keep Miller in the AHL and hope it speeds up his NHL development- return Miller and let him spend the season in the OHL."...Miller has looked real good t...
