Time to address property taxesApril 15,2014The reform in education has gained momentum this year as property owners question their rising taxes and the results of quality education in our schools. A recent approval of a 4 cent increase in residential tax rates and a 7.5 cent increase on nonresident taxes for 2014 and more to come next year certainly have caused 23 towns to reject their school budgets. This should be of concern to our state representatives. The state Legislature and governor blame these increases on our local school boards and voters. Not so fast. The Brigham decision was meant to equalize education throughout the state so that each school would benefit from equal spending per student. Unfortunately, Vermont has lost 15 percent of its students under Act 60/68 while the spending continues to rise.
Currently, Vermont has 85,000 students, and the costs have risen from $600 million to $1.4 billion per year over the past 12 years. To pay for this increase, property taxes continue to rise. One reason is that the state has not funded its share of these increases by large amounts. It has found surplus funds to help cover the gap, but this will go away after this year.
Another big issue is income sensitivity. Approximately, 70 percent of Vermonters are voting on school spending while at the very same time they are not being affected by the rising cost. This is because 70 percent pay their property taxes based upon income, which is capped at 1.9 percent of their income. As such, if these income-sensitized voters are capped, they really do not care because if they get a $5,000 property tax bill, they only pay 1.9 percent or, let us say, at $50,000 income, or only $950. The rest of the taxes due come from those who have higher incomes above $90,000, which includes every out-of-state property owner. And these nonresidents cannot vote.
Another negative to this whole Act 60/68 dilemma is the equity value of our homes. Property owners, which includes nonresidents and higher-income residents, are paying larger taxes, and this is contributing to lower values of homes and in turn the selling value. In fact, the assessed values in many towns based upon the coefficient of dispersion are over-appraised. The equity value of a home is decreased by the taxes paid on the property. As such, the market value is going down while the taxes are going up, even when there are fewer students.
One must ask just one or two questions to our legislators. If plumbers, electricians, carpenters, roofers, lumber sales, carpeting and Realtors are not making a solid living, why would they continue to live in Vermont? The second question is: Why would anyone want to build a new house or remodel an old house, if their property taxes are going up?

Calling All Runners! Help Fight Cancer By Joining a Coast to Coast Relay
Written on July 22, 2013 at 2:33 pm , by Karla Walsh
How many people do you know who have been affected by cancer? A shocking 41 percent of people will be diagnosed with some form of the disease during his or her lifetime, according to research by the National Cancer Institute.
Another surprising stat: One-third of cancer cases are caused by poor diet and lack of activity. A group of ambitious athletes, many of then cancer survivors themselves, are seeking to inspire others to affect that statistic, all while raising money to support more research about the disease.
For the past month, the Million Dollar Marathon (and a baton stuffed with prayer flags which honor those who have fought/are fighting cancer) has been making its way from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean. About 160 people signed on to run or walk a marathon along the route while raising money for cancer-related charities, with an overall goal of fundraising $1 million. To date, the team has raised nearly $500,000 and has its sights set on Rehoboth Beach, Delaware on August 1.
Yesterday, FITNESS hopped in along the course in Illinois as Ames, Iowa resident Ashley Poppe ran her first marathon in honor of her friend Kerri. Despite struggling with tendinitis all through training, Poppe completed all of her miles (and finished with a smile). She has raised more than $6,000 for the cause, too. The "magic" baton has inspired participants to power through rain, 100°+ heat, injuries and the longest runs of their lives.
"Each time you think you've found your favorite moment from the trip, another even more amazing one happens four hours later," said Steve Cannon, who dreamt up the 4,000-mile coast-to-coast relay after running 40 marathons in 40 days (solo) around Lake Michigan last summer. Recently, the event has taken on even greater meaning for Cannon, as his sister is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer.
Inspired to take part in this epic journey? It's not too late—and you can carry the baton for as many miles as you want (26.2 miles is not a requirement). The Million Dollar Marathon is still looking to fill slots in West Virginia on July 26 and 27, so if you're ready for a challenge, email email@example.com.

Why fertilizer is a better buy than gold
Potash might not glitter, but it may be worth some consideration for the commodities portion of your portfolio.
After rocketing $500 an ounce in the first eight months of the year, gold prices have tumbled as investors take an increasingly bearish view of commodities in general.
For most commodities, that skepticism is warranted. But gold's recent nosedive and predictions that it will fall to $1,400 an ounce in coming weeks, well below the September record of $1,923.70, has some market watchers raising their eyebrows. After all, isn't gold a different kind of commodity -- a sort of haven, an asset that serves as a refuge from uncertain economic times and volatile markets, just the kind that we have lived through in the second half of 2011?
Yes. But the gold market has changed a great deal in recent decades. It has never really been dominated by end users as copper, soybeans and crude oil ultimately are. Instead, with every year that has passed, the role of speculators in the gold market has grown.
Investors no longer buy gold bars and stash them in bank vaults; they snap up gold ETFs or other derivatives tied to the price of gold, and they can buy or sell whenever they want. Long-term investors, who want to maintain a strategic allocation to gold in their portfolios, have given way to speculators eager to jump on or off the bandwagon as momentum dictates.
There is still more than $100 billion in gold held in easy-to-sell exchange traded vehicles, by some estimates. Investors who don't want to lose more, or who want to hang on to what is left of any profits, may well add to the selling pressure. The changes to the ways in which gold can be purchased and the much broader investor base have dramatically changed its nature as a haven.
So are there any "safe" commodities left to invest in? If you listen to economists, probably not. Forecasts of a slowdown in global growth next year are common, and that will wreak havoc on demand for things like copper and crude oil. It's not surprising that their prices have come under siege. But there is one intriguing option: potash.
True, potash never really glitters like gold; rather, it lurks in the shadows. It's not traded on the futures markets. Investors who are interested have to invest indirectly, via stocks of producers like Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan (POT) and The Mosaic Company (MOS). But the absence of a futures contract also means potash prices haven't been the focus of speculation.
Not that potash prices don't face risks. Shelley Goldberg, a Roubini Global Economics analyst who last week produced a report analyzing the potash market, concluded that there are in fact many risks involved. Cash-strapped farmers may cut back on fertilizer purchases for a year or two without harming productivity, creating some short-term downside risk to both the commodity price and the stock prices. Still, the long-term fundamentals remain relatively upbeat. Demand for agricultural productivity isn't going to abate, particularly in emerging markets like China, India and Brazil.
Global demand was expected to climb 11% this year, and even if the rate of growth in demand from China ebbs, Indian needs will likely more than compensate as the country tries to become self-sufficient in foodstuffs, especially grains. Goldberg points out that India's fertilizer budget is bigger than its military budget.
With that in mind, when designing a portfolio for 2012, you might want to think about including shares of Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan, whose stock ended last week at $39.50. Largely bullish analysts expect the shares to hit $60.
If you're still in the mood to gamble a bit, there's upstart Western Potash, the development-stage player that now trades for C$1 a share on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Analysts rate it a "speculative buy" and say its share price could double -- that is, if it isn't acquired by one of the behemoth players in the industry or Chinese or Indian interests.

Amonium Nitrate is part of the ingredients for ANFO which is an explosive commonly used in underground mining operations and made famous as home made explosive used by anti-government groups. Caustic potash is a common ingredient in field improvised explosives compounds taught by the US Military.
Amonium Nitrate Fuel Oil explosive is popular because is has a low degree of post ignition fumes and also can be molded, pumped, platicised to work in wet environments that would degrade TNT or dynamites.
This by-product can give life and it can take it away. i.e. when mixed with soil in the ground it will grow food and provide sustenance. it can also kill hundreds when blended with other ingredients. Oklahoma bombing for instance. Everything is linked and one can not do well without the other, sorta the web of life.

Gumbo A-Geaux-Geaux
So what WAS I doing? Only throwing an awesome party, thankyouverymuch.
As you know, the star attraction was gumbo (and M. was MVP). We've been cooking for days. Here's the play-by-play:
On Friday night, Pinchy went in the pot … soon to be joined by her sister Grabby. Then we made shellfish stock with their shells plus shrimp shells.
The traditional assembling of ingredients.
The roux begins…
…and 45 very anxious minutes later achieves the proper shade of deep brown. I should have remembered this from last time. Yesterday, I went into a mild panic at about 3:30 pm, convinced the gumbo wouldn't thicken in time and I'd have the shame hang over my head for years to come. But of course it did — just as it did before.
Success! Just look at those bulging biceps. ;)
A good gumbo should have a little bit of everything in every bite.
The spread, which included authentic queso — melted Velveeta with RO*TEL. A much-loved Texas recipe that Chris learned in college. So wrong it has to be right.
M. made wonderful hapa-style fried okra — coated in panko and served with a kewpie and ssamjang dipping sauce.
First quarter and all is quiet on the Northern front.
But not for long … I love Liz, Andrea, and Peter's faces in this one.
No, Julie was NOT a Kappa!
Not everyone digs football. We welcome all kinds.
So the question now is … what do we do for the Superbowl? I must admit I was worried the Saints wouldn't make it, so I took the opportunity to make gumbo for the play-offs (and it was of course perfect that they played my home team).
But now what? Two gumbos in two weeks is a bit much, even for me. Maybe we go in an entirely different direction. Maybe … bo ssäm?

2011 Volvo S60 T6 AWD — Review
This 2011 review is representative of model years 2001 to 2009.
By Marc Lachapelle of MSN Autos
Bottom Line:
Volvo has refreshed its S60 sedan inside and out, increased content and fitted more exclusive systems, making it roomier and more comfortable. But most of all, the Swedes have maximized the longer and wider stance and made the top T6 AWD version handle as well as its top rivals.
When the original, coupelike Volvo S60 entered the market a decade ago, its sleek, sharp look was a clear departure from the automaker's signature boxy design aesthetic. It was, dare we say, radical for the safety-obsessed Swedes.
These days, Volvo's lineup stands out not just for safety features but also for distinctive good looks and appealing performance. The all-new 2011 S60 is a perfect example of that.
Billed as the most driver-oriented — that is, sportiest — Volvo ever, the S60 4-door coupe offers plenty of get up and go and exceptional handling. It also bravely pushes the styling envelope, sharing many of the same design elements found in the company's current XC60 crossover. So while the second-generation S60's profile is familiar, it looks more like a fast-forward morph of the first-generation sedan than a simple refresh.
Bottom line: The new S60, reviewed here in its T6 all-wheel-drive trim, steps up to the plate in the ferociously competitive entry luxury sport sedan class with poise and confidence. But will it compete?
Model Lineup
The T6 AWD version should account for about 15 to 20 percent of the S60 sales mix. Volvo has also concocted a more exclusive S60 R-Design niche model, for which it claims sharper steering and agility, thanks to shorter and stiffer springs front and rear, monotube rear shock absorbers and firmer bushings. The R-Design also offers color-matched body parts, matte details, twin tailpipes and 5-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels.
The S60 T6 AWD comes with a generous list of standard comfort, safety and infotainment accessories and systems, but there are a number of packages and stand-alone options to let you push things further. To the plethora of standard safety items expected in a Volvo, the S60 T6 also includes unique or exclusive systems such as a new stability and traction-control system equipped with a sport mode, a first for a sedan, according to Volvo.
The pedestrian-detection and collision-warning systems, both graced with full automatic braking capability, come with the $2,100 Technology Package, as do the distance-alert, driver-alert and lane-departure warning systems. The blind-spot information system, combined with power outside mirrors, costs an extra $700, and park-assist technology adds $500.
You need to check an option box for the $2,700 Multimedia Package in order to get the park-assist rear camera, and it comes bundled with Volvo's DVD map-based navigation system with traffic info as well as a premium Audyssey 650-watt audio system with 12 speakers. Full xenon headlights that bend as you turn into corners come with the $1,500 Premium Package, along with a glass sunroof and a power-adjusted front passenger seat.
The S60 comes standard with what Volvo calls its Dynamic Suspension, which has the same settings and damping characteristics as its European models. At no charge, you can also get a Touring system that promises a softer ride, or you can shell out $750 for the latest version of Volvo's Four-C electronically adjustable suspension that lets you pick among Comfort, Sport or Advanced modes.
Under the Hood
The T6 engine is flexible and packs a good midrange punch. There always is solid thrust and a nice, throaty sound under full acceleration, the engine well-served by its sharp-shifting 6-speed gearbox, even in full auto mode. With new valves and less internal friction, this second-generation Geartronic unit effectively produces crisp and precise shifts throughout the range. Volvo claims a zero-to-60-mph sprint of 5.8 seconds, and the S60 T6's top speed is said to be 130 mph.
Inner Space
Rear passengers will appreciate the extra space the most, with a 2.1-inch increase in legroom and more than an inch in additional knee clearance. The rear seats are comfortable for two adults, with cushions that provide good thigh support. There is sufficient room for the knees but only just enough space under the front seats for the feet. The S60 is no limousine.
In true Scandinavian style, the instrument panel is clean and uncluttered. The two lone traditional gauges do look a bit austere and lost in that big instrument cluster facing the driver, though. Controls are mostly logical and easy to fiddle with, but we found the S60 T6's separate interfaces confusing. There is a menu button only on the center console, for instance, and not on the steering wheel, where you do find redundant controls for the audio and cruise-control systems. The leather-draped sport wheel is a treat.
Finally, cargo volume has shrunk in the new S60, from 13.9 to 12 cubic feet. It is more accessible, though, with a trunk opening that is now 4.2 inches wider than in the original version.
On the Road
On the challenging 14-corner Oregon Raceway Park track in Grass Valley, Ore., the new Swedish sport sedan proved utterly stable and predictable. The Haldex torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system provides excellent traction. The system brakes the inner wheel and sends torque to the outer wheel while cornering. However, it does not fully eradicate the expected measure of understeer in tighter corners, nor should it.
More importantly still, the S60 T6 proved agile, confidence-inspiring and entirely pleasant to drive on normal roads, where it truly counts. It is quick, smooth and precise in transitions, with much better and finer body control and suspension damping than the previous model. The ride is quite acceptable with the standard Dynamic Suspension, and the brake modulation is also very good.
The rack-and-pinion steering box is 10 percent more direct than on the previous S60, with a thicker column and stiffer bushings that double its strength in torsion. On the move, steering is quick and linear, with decent tactile feedback. Numerous additional changes and careful tuning to the suspension elements undoubtedly contribute greatly to this newfound handling refinement and finesse.

Music Monday: Drop Dead Diva's April Bowlby's Get-Fit Playlist
Written on July 9, 2012 at 9:04 am , by Colleen Travers
As her role in Lifetime's Drop Dead Diva, April Bowlby plays Stacy Barrett, the best friend to a once vapid model whose soul has landed inside the body of a plus-sized attorney, Jane Bingum. April's character is a wannabe model herself, who helps Jane navigate her future in her new, oversized physique.
In real life, April Bowlby loves a good sweat session. "I just started the most amazing ballet class and I am obsessed with it," she says. "The first half is all about stretching out and warming up your muscles and the second half is at the barre. It has really helped with my posture." When she's not practicing her plies, Bowlby stays in shape with some simple cardio. "I love jogging on the treadmill. Once you find a rhythm it's easy to get into the zone. I also love hiking with my dog." To help you get in the zone this week, Bowlby shared her playlist that she listens to while pounding out the miles:

Music Monday: Nutrition Editor Juno DeMelo's Summer Playlist Picks
Written on July 22, 2013 at 9:08 am , by FITNESS Editors
Now that summer is officially in full swing (and bringing the heat!), we really want your playlists to pop. And don't worry, we get it – your tastes vary. Heck, they're ridiculously diverse amongst our staff! To keep everyone's earbuds happy, we're plugging you in to the songs that make us sweat. Every Monday will reveal a new editor's playlist – pick one who lines up with your preferred beats, download their top tunes and get back to enjoying your workouts.
Juno DeMelo, Nutrition Editor
On long, slow runs, I listen to the "This American Life" podcasts, but for tempo runs, I need the musical equivalent of caffeine. I need the kind of songs that, even if I'd just eaten a burrito bowl and was in the middle of a "Teen Mom" marathon, make me get up off the couch and dance. If it makes me feel like dancing, it makes me feel like running. Like a good meal, a good playlist is all about balance: Some bubblegum pop my teenage sister is probably too old for, some rap I like to think she's too young to be listening to, and a little indie-darling stuff I hope she thinks I'm cool for liking.
Follow Juno on Twitter for more of her faves!

About the size of the key and value stored in membase
Hi all ,
I wrote some test code on membase server.And when i call the "Set" function to set some data i will get some errors if the key length is bigger than 250.
I remember that it is said that the length of the key in membase is limit to 1024 and the length of the value is 20M but i forget the document.
I am not sure which client for accessing membase will be the better and support the big key(key length limit to 1024).The client libraries for the memcache are also work in membase , so i always call the library for memcacahe to access mambase,such as libmemcached.
And i am not sure that to modify the definetion MEMCACHED_MAX_KEY in the libmemchaced would cause any error.
I believe the current key limit is 255 (though your experience seems to suggest it's more like 250 which probably takes into account some flags and overhead). You are correct that the limit on the value size is 20mb for Membase and it is 1mb for a memcached bucket.
Some clients may actually not allow you to set an item whose value is larger than 1mb because they perform a check before sending it to the server, but that's a different error and varies by client library.
We've had some interest in supporting longer keys, I will add your request to the list. Can you describe the use case a bit more that you would like to use keys longer than 250 bytes?
Case: Asp.Net custom page caching (a lot of querystring parameters make up the key).
Great limitation for me.

Just in the past few weeks, the state of California quietly decided to move proficiency in algebra from the eighth-grade requirement back to the ninth grade.
Many of you might not remember a few years back that algebra proficiency was moved to eighth from ninth grade. At the time, the powers that be made much fanfare about it. They triumphantly explained that this was proof that they would hold teachers accountable for rigor in the classroom.
The same attempt by our political leaders to appear they are doing something birthed the bipartisan No Child Left Behind movement of 2001. They promised that utopian idea that 100 percent of students would be proficient in English and math by 2014. All schools that failed to meet these standards would feel the wrath of government coming in and taking them over.
Research has shown that students do not develop abstract reason abilities sufficient to comprehend algebra until the ninth and 10th grades. Forcing students to study a subject that they are not yet intellectually equipped to perform only leads to frustration, which can affect their future desire to learn math.
No Child Left Behind does not take into account students who speak little English, students who have mental challenges, or students who find a home life not conducive to optimum learning.
This is not to say schools and teachers should not be held accountable. That must be done.
This is just a call to understand when reform is true reform and when it is just illusion pretending to be reform.

Cummings said Issa's motives were based purely on election-year politics and not fact. The Democrats who sit on the committee agreed that Holder is being unfairly scapegoated. Their belief is underscored by the fact that some Republican lawmakers, including Sen. John Cornyn, had called for Holder to resign, citing among their reasons his efforts to protect voting rights.

Chaos Crew,
I wanted to let you know what was happening here. As you know, it's been a long year in terms of caring for my 85- year- old parents. My father is in the late stages of Alzheimer's and needs 24 hour care and my mother has been worn down physically and emotionally by her role as caregiver. They have been living in Southern California, my father in a care facility and my mother in an apartment in Santa Monica. But recently, it's become obvious that my mother can no longer live independently. My sister Julie in Dallas offered her home for my mother with its close proximity to an excellent nursing home for my dad. It was a good solution, even though moving them to another state was not going to be easy.
Last Sunday, my dad got on the plane to Dallas and successfully transitioned to his new facility after an emotional good-bye here in Southern Cal. At the same time as my dad was headed to LAX with my brother, my sister Liz was headed to the ER with my mother. My mother was having trouble breathing. For several months, she was being treated for a pulled muscle in her back, an infection, and a possible a rotator cuff injury. She's been in pain and exhausted, the stress of my father's situation visible on her face. She was immediately admitted to the ER and after two hours of x-rays and blood tests, she was diagnosed with lung cancer.
The diagnosis of lung cancer was shocking and the timing was stunning. Prior to the last few months, my mother was a strong, robust woman who hadn't had a cigarette in 40 years. But the tumors certainly explained the pain and the flu-like symptoms. Like many patients and their families who hear the word "cancer," there were a lot of decisions to make in a short period of time. As last week progressed, the diagnosis was confirmed and the gravity of her condition sunk in. She is stage IV and her cancer is not curable. We are working with her doctors to keep her pain-free and abide by her wishes for palliative care. Our goal over the next few weeks is to get her medically stable to fly so that she can go to Dallas to be with my father.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts and prayers. Your kind words have been a source of comfort in the past.
Embrace your Chaos, Lian

TRUE BLUE from Ellis Kell
June 1999
Veteran Quad Cities blues voice Jimmie Lee Adams has been signed by Nasha Recording Company in Memphis, Tennessee. A longtime favorite in this area, Jimmie Lee was born in Brighton, Tennessee. Growing up in a Baptist congregation, Adams began singing Gospel at the age of seven, and eventually sang with the Southern Aires of Gates Tennessee. After a five-years stint in the blues clubs of Los Angeles, Jimmie Lee returned to the Gospel music scene. In 1991 he returned to the Blues, and gained the attention of local producer Bobby Lane. For the past eight years, Jimmie Lee Adams has fronted some of the Quad Cities most revered Blues and soul ensembles.
It was Lane's demo recordings of Jimmie Lee Adams that lead to the deal signed with Nasha in April. Adams comments that "its been a long time comin,' and its a blessing in disguise." The demo tracks included the syncopated soul anthem "Love On," and the silky-smooth, B. B. King-styled Blues of "Aint No Use." Jimmie Lee added, "I'm prayin' that this is my time," and noted his main influences as B. B. King, Bobby Bland, and Little Milton Campbell. Anyone who has ever heard Jimmie Lee Adams, either with New Complexion Band or the Steady Rollin' Blues Band, knows he delivers each and every song -straight from the heart - each and every night. Congrats and kudos to Mr. Jimmie Lee Adams, one of the Quad Cities' premier, true Blues voices. Even though we'll agree that its been a long time comin', we sincerely hope that Jimmie Lee isn't a long time gone - when it comes time for him to head out on that blues highway. We are very fortunate to have had him call the Quad Cities home, and to have been blessed with the gift of his voice and talent.
Q. C. favorites Shane Johnson's Blue Train traveled to Des Moines to take the cake on the 1999 Iowa Blues Competition. Blue Train came out strong on Court Avenue in Des Moines, Saturday, May 15th, and bested runner-ups The Soul Providers (Des Moines Region Finalists), and third place Don Boyle Band (Cedar Rapids Region Finalists). This was also two years running for the Blue Train as Quad-Cities Region Finalists, this year finishing ahead of Big E & The Blues Biznes, Mojo Risin', and the Twin Towers Blues Band during the April 30th showdown at Rock Island Brewing Company.
As winners of the Iowa Blues Competition finals, Blue Train will receive first place prizes of $1,000 cash $1,000 travel expenses to compete in Memphis' International Blues Talent Competition, eight hours of recording studio time, a paid appearance at this year's Mississippi Valley Blues Festival, and a $300 gift certificate for Rieman Music. Congratulations from True Blue to Shane Johnson's Blue Train, and break a leg in Memphis!

We'll be back at this crossroads again same time next month, with some more for 'ya to chew on and, until then…
Blues to 'ya!

Cities across North Carolina are taking part in a nationwide effort to bring attention to the ban against gay men from donating blood.
A blood drive was held Friday at the American Red Cross on University Drive in Durham.
In 1983, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration banned gay and bisexual men from donating blood.
But with rigorous testing and more information on HIV and AIDS, supporters say the rules need an update.
A White House petition was launched earlier this month asking the FDA to change its policy. If 100,000 people sign the petition by July 30, President Obama's administration will issue a response.

I'm trying to plan a Disney vacay. Not sure if we are going to go this year or next, but I'm a huge planner and I like to know what, when, where, why, and who months in advance so I'm not hit with any unexpected expenses.
So for those who have done one or the other, or both, please share your experiences. And if you could be specific about the cruiseline (not sure if the Disney cruise line is just one ship or if there are several). Also, besides "Disney", how was the accommodations, food, activities, good for kids and adults, etc.
If we go this year, we were thinking around October/November. Kids will be 6, 4, and 1.5.
For those who stayed in Disneyland (California), what hotel did you go to? I know we could save a substantial amount of $$ if we stay in the neighboring hotels, but I think I'd like to stay in the Disney hotels. What's the difference between the three? What did you like/hate? Was the food package worth it?
Also, what ages were your children and what park did they enjoy most (Disneypark, or California Adventures, etc). I haven't been to Disneyland in YEARS so I have no idea what the new additions are and what they have. But we'd like to stay for at least a week.
Any other comments, advice, etc is greatly appreciated. Thanks, all!!

The GT Speed Convertible's touch screen infotainment system both entertains and informs. At its heart is a 30GB hard drive, which offers up to 15GB of storage space for music as well as a continent's-worth of mapping data.
As you drive, it provides real time monitoring of your tyre pressures, access to your phone contacts (either via Bluetooth or by inserting your SIM card) and the opportunity to zoom in or out of mapping at the touch of a finger.
While the 15 Gigabytes of available music space is enough to last you on a round-the-world tour without hearing the same track twice, you can also play music via an iPod, MP3 player, the car's own six-disc CD changer or even an SD card. Balanced Mode Radiator (BMR) speakers, which combine the functions of separate tweeter and midrange speakers in one unit, direct the sound with accuracy and provide greater clarity across the audible spectrum. Alternatively, the Naim for Bentley system, incorporating custom-built speakers and eight individual Digital Sound Processing modes, is available as an option.

Hi! My name is Mame Yaa, but everyone calls me Laydee or T.O. This is my first year as the Graduate Residence Coordinator for North Hall and the Humboldt Houses. I am also the Graduate Assistant for Athletic. Previously, I was an RA at Medaille for 4 years. I graduated at Medaille College last year with an Elementary and Middle School Education degree. Now I am currently taking my Masters in Literacy. I enjoy hanging out with my friends, listening to music, dancing, reading and watching movies. I use to play basketball, tennis and soccer for Medaille College. I am a very outgoing and laid back, so if you ever need to talk, feel free to knock on my office door or leave me a message! Remember coming to college with an open mind is one of the greatest experience you will ever have. My best advice for Medaille students is to get involved with an on or off campus activity. Enjoy your school year!
My name is Fran Roach and I am one of the graduate programming interns at Medaille. I currently attend Canisius College, studying for my master's degree in College Student Personnel Administration and will graduate in May 2013. I earned a bachelor's degree in Secondary Education Mathematics at Penn State University.
This will be my second year working at Medaille and I am looking forward to all of the exciting programs that the RA's have planned! If you ever have ideas for programs or events in the residence halls, do not hesitate to contact a member of the Residence Life staff; we are all more than willing to make them happen.

Hi, my name is Jacob Conde and I will be the 1st floor RA for the 2012-2013 year. I'm an incoming Junior at Medaille. I am also a Communications major.
Something's you might want to know about me is I am on the Medaille Soccer team and have played soccer since I was 5. Although the only sport I play at Medaille is soccer I'm watch a lot of other sports. I am a die-hard NY Jets fan and I am also a Denver Nuggets fan. I was born and raised in Hartford Connecticut so when it comes to college basketball of course I'm a UCONN Huskies fan. I come from a big family where I have 1 brother 1 sister 3 step brothers and 1 step sister. I love to travel and one day I plan to travel all of Europe and see what else the world has to offer. Everyone would love to be a professional athlete but if soccer doesn't work out for me, I want to make commercials and one day be a sports news anchor for ESPN. Seeing how I have done two years away from home, I know what it's like to be away from family and friends and have to make new friends. So don't ever hesitate to knock on my door if you ever need to talk or if you are homesick or anything of that nature. I am one of the most laid back down to earth people you will probably ever meet. So let's make this first year a great one and one to remember.

I like that the classes aren't huge, and you have a one on one connection with your professors.

Some of my hobbies are spending time with family, friends, traveling, and dancing! My favorite animal in the world are owls. My door is always open, so feel free to stop by!

I am from Rochester, but I spend most of my time on campus so I'll see you around!
The instructors were knowledgeable and welcomed class discussions, with
respect for each student's contribution. I've learned how to be a more
effective leader. My capstone class gave insight on how to combine all
the education learned to operate a business. That's when I realized how
much I had sharpened my knowledge.

In the past, Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston has indicated he will stay in Tallahassee for a couple of more years. But after Tuesday's news that the returning Heisman Trophy winner and his family have purchased an insurance policy worth between $8 million and $10 million, there is speculation the Seminoles quarterback will bolt for the NFL after this season.
According to Yahoo Sports, Winston is the first returning Heisman Trophy winner since former Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford to purchase preseason loss of value coverage, although other returning winners have purchased "total permanent disability" coverage.
Last year as a freshman, Winston earned numerous accolades in addition to the Heisman Trophy. He was the ACC Player of the Year, ACC Rookie of the Year, a consensus All-American and named the Offensive MVP of the BCS title game after Florida State's 34-31 win over Auburn.
He also set national freshman records for passing touchdowns (40) and passing yards (4,057).
According to Yahoo, the policy's value is based on projections that have Winston being drafted among the top 10 picks in the 2015 NFL Draft.
Winston also could collect money if he suffers a career-ending injury.

State golf tournaments wrapped up all over Washington on Wednesday.
The most exciting finish was in the 3A girl's tournament. Mt. Spokane sisters Savana and Sierra Bezdicek were tied after 36 holes, so they went to a one-hole playoff against each other. Sierra, the younger sister, outlasted Savana for the state crown. The Wildcats finished second as a team.
Odessa-Harrington's Kira Powell was also impressive in the 1B/2B girl's tournament. She shot 170 over two days to clinch her third straight state championship. St. John-Endicott won the 1B/2B girl's team crown.
In the 2A boy's tournament, Clarkston's Tyler Carlson won the individual state title. He dominated the competition, beating the next closest golfer by seven strokes.
