Emens fills for David Letterman's return, presentation with Twitter's Biz Stone
By Sharon Hernandez, Student Journalist, Ball State Daily News
You don't have to be a Twitter fanatic to appreciate the power of social media – especially when a conversation on Twitter begins with David Letterman and includes the site's co-founder, Biz Stone.
More than 3,000 Ball State students and faculty cheered, applauded and tweeted their approval and questions during "A Conversation with David Letterman and Biz Stone" Friday night at John R. Emens Auditorium [on Ball State's campus].
It was a good turnout for a campus in which many students say they're not Twitter users. A survey conducted by students and faculty last year showed that Facebook users on campus largely outnumbered Twitter users. Maybe it doesn't matter when the subject of emerging media – a Ball State hallmark – comes to campus.
"There was this real push and this real idea that technology was the solution to all of our problems," Stone said. "It's ultimately about what people are going to do with the technology, not the technology itself."
Letterman set a light tone, using his standard joke about the Ball State mascot: "the cardinal, the fiercest robin-sized bird in the animal kingdom." In his typical fashion, the "Late Night" host revealed that he had forgotten his socks and had borrowed a pair from Roy Budd, President Jo Ann Gora's husband.
Letterman was a gracious, fun host, even if he did confuse tweets and "twits."
Usually students are asked to turn off their cell phones when they attend speeches, but for this event Gora asked attendees to use their cell phones to tweet questions or reactions.
Stone's speech focused on his life experiences and how they affected him. He discussed how Twitter was created and how he thinks something as simple as Twitter has more functionality than just posting what a person is doing.
"We need to realize that we're a global citizen. We're not just a citizen of a state or country," he said.
"It's my sort of hope that by connecting more people together and sharing our information, we'll all be more comfortable with people and there will be some kind of alignment, and we'll work together and shine light on injustices, work toward better versions of healthcare and all these other things."
The conversation served as inspiration for many to think about how technology has many more uses.
Freshman telecommunications major Stuart Hotwagner said the conversation and Stone's insight on how Twitter can be used influenced him to start his own Twitter account.
Hotwagner, who did not have a Twitter account because he didn't think it was useful, went to the conversation because he was curious about what Stone had to say about social media, not because he was a fan himself.
"I liked how he said that with the future of social media and Twitter he hoped it would make people feel like a global citizen," he said.
So New: In Which I Interview the (Co) Founder of Twitter
Blog post by Brad King, assistant professor of Journalism and Emerging Media Faculty Fellow
I left Wired in 2002.
There were jobs in between. A book. MIT. But I really built my career at Wired and I'm beginning to realize exactly how long ago 8 years is in modern time. Not to ruin the ending, but it's a long time.
These days, I'm a professor at Ball State University, nestled in tiny Muncie, Indiana just about an hour northeast of Indianapolis. It's a wonderful life. I love my students. I love my colleagues. I even love my administration.
But I do, on occasion, miss being in the middle of things. I miss chasing stories. I miss covering the world of emerging technologies as they smash into the culture. I miss being on the pulse of the Next New.
So I was thrilled on Friday to have the chance to interview Biz Stone (@biz), the epically cool co-founder of Twitter.
He was on campus as part of the Letterman Speaker Series, hosted by BSU graduate David Letterman. As part of that, the university gathered 25 students in LB (Yeah, that's the Letterman Building) 121 to listen – and participate in – an hour-long session.I'm sure the video will be posted in the next few days so I won't spoil it; however, my pal Sean happens to be the vice president of communication for Twitter and he didn't disappoint. He gave me the inside scoop on Biz's life outside the office. ("How do you know all of this," he asked as the session closed.)
And if he holds true to his word and comes to South by Southwest Interactive next year, I promised to take he and his wife to The Salt Lick.
No matter, though, because for just a bit today I had the chance to get back in the game. And it was good.
Digital Corps offers app development summer camp to middle schoolers
[vid url="http://emergingmediainitiative.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/adventurecamp.flv" class="alignright"]Ball State's award-winning Digital Corps offered students entering grades 6, 7, or 8 the chance to create their own video games for the iPhone and iPod during two week-long summer camps in July. The first camp was held on the Ball State University campus in Muncie, and the second camp was offered at the Ball State University Fishers Center near Indianapolis.
Sixteen campers applied math, logic, reasoning and art skills as they created graphics and "taught" them how to move using iPod/iPad/iPhone game creation software. The camp was led by six student instructors from the Digital Corps, with Emerging Technologies professionals in the role of facilitators. The campers demonstrated their video game creations at the end of the week for parents, siblings and members of the Ball State community.
The success of the camps has led to plans for expanded offerings in Summer 2011.
Summer immersive-learning course explores Japanese religions and emerging media
[vid url="http://emergingmediainitiative.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/japanclass.flv&rel=0" class="alignleft"]
This summer, Dr. Michael Roemer of Ball State's Religious Studies and Philosophy Department led six students on a two-week journey through Japan's religious festivals, ceremonies and holy buildings.
But the journey did not end upon their return to campus. During a final week of the course, the students translated their memories, blog posts, photos and videos into a robust website (http://jpnreligions.weebly.com) where they relate histories of the shrines, temples and festivals they visited, glimpses into daily life in Japan, and each student's "top ten" experiences from the trip.
The website was built completely by students to benefit students across the world who have interest in Japanese religiousness. It will continue to be populated by students of Roemer's fall upper-level Japanese Religions course, with expanded content in the mythologies, glossary and resources areas.
Roemer also challenged the students to recreate virtual models of ancient Japanese holy buildings on the Ball State island in the virtual world of Second Life. Ball State's Institute of Digital Intermedia Arts provided basic training on building in the Second Life environment prior to the trip, and the students documented architectural features, textures and ceremonial practices while in Japan. With no prior experience with Second Life, they are developing a Shinto shrine and Buddhist temple based upon actual sites in Japan, where Second Life avatars can explore and even practice some of the religious rituals, such as meditation.
The students presented their work to more than 50 fellow students and faculty in the Center for Media Design on Friday, September 17.
Insight and Research unit opens new Media Lab
[vid url="http://emergingmediainitiative.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/neweyetracking.flv&rel=0" class="alignright"]
In June, the Center for Media Design's Insight and Research unit acquired a house just off Ball State's campus in Muncie to serve as its new media research lab. A team worked throughout the summer to convert the existing house, with two living rooms, home office, kitchen and dining area, into a facility equipped for interactive TV and advanced design-usability research while maintaining the feel of a naturalistic living space. Researchers use a variety of methodologies, including eye tracking at 10-foot (i.e., television) and 2-foot (i.e., personal computer) distances, and on mobile platforms.
IDIA to contribute to animated feature film
By Jaclyn Goldsborough, student journalist, Ball State Daily News
It's a film about a "fird." Well, actually a herd of "fird."
But what is a "fird?" It's a new children's animation film combining the talents of the Ball State Institute for Digital Intermedia Arts (IDIA) and Bach Morris Technologies Corporation (BMTC).
IDIA and BMTC are partnering to create the children's animation film, "Whoever Heard of a Herd of Fird," along with at least 21 jobs.
The lab is part of a $2.4 million project with BMTC, a developer of interactive children's toys and media from Kokomo, Indiana.
John Fillwalk, Director of IDIA, said that the institute has been planning on making an external commercial company out of the lab while also producing an opportunity to train students and keep them in Indiana after graduation, which is why the group was happy to hear from BMTC.
"They had seen our work that we have done through the lab and they contacted me months ago," he said. "I did a retreat with them to show what we are capable of doing and they liked what they saw."
Mark Morris, chief operations officer at BMTC, said he worked with Ball State for one reason. "It had everything to do with John Fillwalk and his team," Morris said. "We will be able to 'develop' the talent within Indiana. While BMTC will be securing talent from around the world, we are planning on making these individuals available to the IDIA students as well. Our long-term objective is to not only create several animated feature films in Indiana but to create long-term, highly skilled workforce of 3-D modelers, animators, technicians and to eliminate Indiana's 'Brain Drain.'"
Morris said the project would create a minimum of 21 jobs with positions including producers, writers and directors. The project will take approximately 14 months to complete.
The film, based on Othello Bach's 1984 book "Whoever Heard of a Fird," will be ready, tentatively, for release in the second quarter of 2012.
EM Fellow receives grant from the National Science FoundationMahesh Daas, Emerging Media Faculty Fellow and Department Head of Architecture has been awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation of $49,924 to support the development and implementation of the workshop "Defining the Opportunities and Challenges for Research in Materials and Manufacturing for Extreme Affordability (RIMMEA)" to be held on Ball State's Muncie campus on January 20-21, 2011.
Much research in materials and manufacturing targets the context and conditions of the highly developed, top-of-the-pyramid markets. However, the majority of the world is characterized by resource-infrastructure-poor markets, where affordability is a top concern.
The workshop, to be developed in collaboration with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and funded in part by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), will bring together experts from architecture, design, engineering, science and technology from around the world to rethink and retool interdisciplinary research to focus on the topic of extreme affordability.
Daas hopes that the workshop will help to establish a research community for further development of RIMMEA research. He plans to use established organizational networks such as ASME, IEEE, Engineers without Borders, OperationUSA, and The Honeybee Network to disseminate learning from the workshop, and to integrate results into the educational agenda of classes at Ball State.
Interactive TV thought leader to present at Ball State in October
Later this month, Ball State will welcome Dale Herigstad, Chief Creative Officer at Schematic, Inc. for the next installment of the David Letterman Distinguished Professional Lecture and Workshop Series. The internationally recognized thought leader will present "The Future of Interactive Design" on Tuesday, October 19 at 7:30 p.m. in the L.A. Pittenger Student Center Ballroom.
With an extensive background in broadcast design and branding, Dale has pioneered a unique spatial context approach to designing advanced navigation systems for Interactive TV and connected screens. From this work are emerging new content mediums that blur the line between TV and games—and, in fact, Dale is currently engaged with a variety of Schematic teams to redefine what television is becoming.
Dale was a part of the research team that developed the visionary gestural interfaces that first appeared in the film "Minority Report" and is now leading development work in the rapidly emerging world of gestural navigation for screens at a distance.
He has taught Motion Graphics at California Institute of the Arts, Art Center College of Design, and UCLA. He is active with the AFI Digital Content Lab, is a member of the TV Academy, AIGA and ITA and received one of the first ITVT Interactive TV Leadership Awards. Dale has 4 Emmy awards and is currently working in London, managing Schematic's new innovation practice for UK and Europe. He serves on Ball State's Emerging Media Initiative National Advisory Board, and recently guest-edited the Spring 2010 issue of Media, focusing on the increasing interactivity and richness of content within the multiple screens that frame media consumption (see May 2010 EMI Update).
TechPoint announces Measured Marketing Initiative in Indiana
On September 21, Indiana's statewide technology initiative, TechPoint, announced a national campaign to position Indiana as the national leader of a fast-growing, emerging technology business category coined "measured marketing."
Companies in this category provide a platform or service for digital marketing via email, social media, search, video, mobile and other rapidly evolving technologies, and they provide clients with return-on-investment tracking. More than 70 measured marketing companies call Indiana home, including ExactTarget, Aprimo, Compendium Blogware, Right On Interactive, ModalLogix, Marketpath, Cantaloupe TV, IMAVEX and Formstack.
With the support from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC), TechPoint will conduct a national media relations campaign drawing attention to Indiana's thriving measured marketing businesses. The campaign will highlight advantages of doing business in Indiana, such as technology-related tax credits and exemptions, access to major research universities, and very reasonable costs of living, to help attract talented professionals and measured marketing technology companies to Indiana.
Ball State and the Center for Media Design (CMD) has been a key partner in developing the measured marketing concept and advancing a community of executives around this emerging economic micro-cluster. The CMD's Insight and Research (I&R) unit is providing research and other support for the campaign.David Ferguson, associate vice president for emerging media and executive director the Center for Media Design, said Indiana's leadership position in measured marketing could blossom into an economic growth engine similar to the state's health care information technology microcluster.
"The growth of Indiana's measured marketing technology companies has been dramatic during the past decade," Ferguson said. "Indiana's tech sector actually gained jobs while most industries were laying-off employees during the recession. This was due, at least in part, to the growth of the state's emerging measured marketing microcluster. Conditions for continued growth — such as a qualified workforce, appropriate incentives and tax credits from the state, and a cooperative spirit among the industry — are very favorable."

In the News
- The State-of-the-University Address: the Risk and the Reward (The Chronicle of Higher Education)
Part of the reason for the university's recent success is that it has taken advantage of its niche in Indiana. With about 21,000 students, Ball State is big, but nowhere near the scale of Purdue University or Indiana University at Bloomington. Which also means it doesn't face the political pressures and arms-race mentality that exist at most flagships.
So instead of trying to compete with its Big Ten neighbors, Ball State has focused on core strengths like emerging media and immersive learning projects, in which students work in interdisciplinary teams to solve problems in the community. That approach was evident in Ms. Gora's address.
- Design and 'Wow' Factor Woo iPad Users (min Online)
"Some people were skeptical about how good the iPad would be for reading long form content like books or magazines," said Mike Bloxham, director of insight and research for Ball State's Center for Media Design. "Our findings indicate the opposite is true. People talked about curling up with the iPad; they enjoyed the screen and resolution and the portability of it — these things seem to be major selling points."
- 2010 R+D Awards Citation: Bitmaps (Architect Magazine)
Wallpaper is not everyone's cup of tea. So in response to a client's interest in developing 3D wall paneling, PROJECTiONE of Muncie, Ind., set out to invent a system of ornamental tiles. The result is Bitmaps, a modular solution achieved through the use of vacuum-form technology and a reusable mold.
Jurors enthused over the surface's "decorative power," derived from a pattern of carefully controlled dots (either raised, flat, or imprinted in the surface). The design team prototyped the system using bubble wrap, then refined the idea with a High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) mold. Positive, negative, and flat plugs were milled and inserted manually into the mold, which forms the dimpled panels in .06-inch-thick white polystyrene. Surfacing and milling were performed on a three-axis CNC router, and oriented strand board backing provides needed rigidity. "The joinery is quite beautiful, very sophisticated and adept," juror Frank Barkow said.
- Augmented Reality To Be A Reality? (MediaPost Raw)
In a morning panel on mobile trends and change agents, Mike Bloxham, who leads Ball State's media lab, expressed guarded optimism about the much-hyped technology of augmented reality, which he believes marketers or merchants will be able to use to make certain types of offers to elicit certain interactions, though he was admittedly hazy on the details. Anything besides scanning a QR code to see the completed 3D version of a Lego model?
But Bloxham pointed out that however mobile marketing technology and use develops, two key issues will be the user context and privacy. For mobile, "battery life is the white elephant in the room" he pointed. (Oh, there it is, I see it now.) He points out that the TV, which never has any power-draining issues, is the standard consumers use for judging other platforms. Bloxham also say privacy legislation is coming and it's something marketers should get out in front of by focusing on opt-in rather than opt-out as a standard for programs.
"If you don't think people will opt in, you're making the wrong offer," he said.
- Documentary looks at BorgWarner's final days (Muncie Star Press)
Ball State University documentary filmmakers last year learned something about the BorgWarner Automotive factory that local news reporters have known for decades.
They wouldn't let media inside the sprawling factory, and the management was not talkative.
But the university still was able to produce an engaging hour-long film, Changing Gears, End of an Era, chronicling the final days of the historic automotive transmission-maker and the downfall of Local 287 of the United Autoworkers union.
- Why call when a text will do, more generations ask (Lafayette Journal and Courier)
Michael Hanley is an associate professor of journalism at Ball State University and director of the university's Institute for Mobile Media Research. He said phone use is decreasing the most and text messaging is growing rapidly, especially among young adults 18 to 24.
He said the older the person is, the more they are still calling to talk. However, those calling percentages are also decreasing.
"Texting at all age levels is really growing the fastest," he said.
Hanley said the most surprising growth is among those age 60 and older.

Please read this information in conjunction with our general information on chemotherapy, and with the information in relation to your specific type of cancer.
Oxaliplatin is a chemotherapy drug used mainly to treat bowel cancer that has recurred or progressed following first line treatment with fluorouracil, leucovorin, and irinotecan.
Oxaplilatin is a powder for injection but once disolved in water is a clear colourless fluid.
The side effects mentioned below may not affect everyone, as each patient's reaction to chemotherapy is different. It will also depend on how many chemotherapy drugs you are receiving. If you experience any side effects that you think are related to your chemotherapy, please discuss them with your oncology doctor or chemotherapy nurse.
This numbness is called peripheral neuropathy and is caused as a result of damage to the nerve endings from the drug oxaliplatin. This sensation of numbness or tingling may be experienced in the hands, feet, neck or throat.
The cold, eg cold air, cold drinks, ice cubes, may trigger the symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. If this is the case you should avoid cold sensations and keep warm in cold weather. Peripheral neuropathy may not occur after the first treatment but after several treatments. It is important to report any symptoms to your doctor who can lower the dose of the drug you are receiving to control your symptoms. All numbness and tingling sensations should improve once the treatment finishes.
For more information on peripheral neuropathy, please see our factsheet.
You will be more prone to infection as oxaliplatin affects your white cell production from the bone marrow. This effect usually occurs about 7 - 10 days after your chemotherapy. You will have blood tests to check your levels before every chemotherapy dose to ensure your blood levels have returned to normal. Occasionally your treatment may be delayed until your blood levels come back to normal. If you notice any signs of infection visit your doctor for assessment.
You should contact your doctor or the Oncology Unit straight away if you if you have a sore throat,cough, pain passing urine, redness and swelling at e.g. at a catheter site. Or have a temperature of 38 degrees° C or greater.
Oxaplatin can also affect the production of platelets, which can cause bleeding or bruising. Inform your doctor if you notice any unexplained bleeding or bruising.
You may feel lethargic and breathless due to a reduction in your red cells caused by oxaliplatin. Inform your doctor if you are feeling these effects.
Oxaliplatin can make you feel sick nausea or to to be sick vomit . It may occur a few hours after you receive your first dose of oxaliplatin and can last for several days in some cases. Your doctor will prescribe some medications to prevent this anti-emetics .If you continue to feel sick it is important to inform your doctor.
If Diarrhoea occurs it can be easily controlled with medicine. It is important to drink plenty of fluid if you experience diarrhoea and to inform your doctor or nurse.
You may feel very tired. This can last for a few months after your treatment. Inform your doctor or nurse of how you are feeling.
Some patients may experience some breathlessness, headaches; back pain, skin rash or facial swelling once the drug has been given. If you experience any of these effects tell your doctor or nurse immediately. You will be monitored very closely for signs of allergic reaction during your treatment.
You may develop a sore mouth or ulcers due to your chemotherapy. You will be prescribed some mouthwashes. Inform your doctor or nurse if your mouth becomes sore or you develop ulcers. You may also experience some taste changes, which will resolve after you finish your treatment.
In very rare cases the area around the voice box can be affected by oxaliplatin and result in a spasm of the voice box. This can lead to a difficulty in swallowing or breathing. It is only a temporary side effect and may be triggered by cold. For this reason it is advisable to avoid such things as cold dinks for a few days following treatment. It is very important to inform your doctor if you notice this sensation.
You may experience a pain or swelling at the injection site (cannula) in you hand or arm while you are having your oxaliplatin treatment. You should inform your nurse or doctor if this occurs.
It is important to inform your doctor of any medications that you are taking, including over the counter medications or herbal drugs as they can interfere with some chemotherapy drugs.
It is important to discuss this with your doctor as your fertility may be affected by oxaliplatin.
It is important to use a reliable form of contraception while you are on treatment and for at least two years after your treatment has completed. It is not advised to get pregnant or father a child while on treatment as the drugs may affect the foetus.

"What a wonderful crowd," said coach Ron Abegglen. "Close to 1 0,000, wasn't it? The community just got with these guys; they loved them. It made it real special. Now 1 just hope we can go and represent the university well, and who knows these guys could really do some damage." The rambunctious, emotional crowd had little to cheer for in the first half, as WSU's outside game couldn't keep up with the Lumberjacks inside game. NAU's biggest lead of the half was six. They led 38-35 at half-time, largely because of WSU's poor shooting (15) from the 3-point line. Noel Jackson's first-half play was phenomenal. The Wildcats' defensive-minded guard took to the offensive against NAU, pouring in 13 first-half points while boosting his teammates' confidence. "I look what they gave me," Jackson said. "I don't think it was anything big. I had a big game against this team earlier, so I kind of felt like 1 could take advantage of them. It definitely wasn't strategy or anything I had planned before the game. I just tried to get some easy buckets and keep our team in it early, and that's when we went to our go-to guys." "You con't describe this. It's something you dream ot when you ore a little kid growing up..." Marc Lawson Jackson's heroics lasted just long enough. Harold Arceneaux scored 1 5 of his game-high 27 points in the second half, including a 3-pointer and a lay-up three minutes after the intermission that seemed to sway momentum to the Wildcats. "Coach 'A' kind of got on me telling me about my jump shot that I was floating around and not jumping straight up," Arceneaux said. "So 1 started jumping straight up, and I tried not to float. It kind of worked out, and I started hitting some shots." When the final buzzer sounded, pandemonium and thoughts of the Big Dance started coming over the Wildcats. Championship T-shirts w ere handed out. The nets were cut down. Coach Abegglen was dowsed with a cooler of water, and Earl Bullock's head was shaved. They had finally done it. "It feels great. We have played well against some of the bigger schools, so 1 think anything can happen in the tournament," said forward Chris Woods. "You can't describe this. It's something you dream of when you are a little kid growing up, and this made it all real tonight," said Marc Lawson, WSU's starting off-guard. See Dance page 8 "" --'" ItA - w. ; : i m .

Eddie Gill cuts a piece of history from the hoop minutes after the Wildcats became the Big Sky Tournament champions, who will get to experience March Madness up close and personal at the NCAA tourney. Upcoming bill would increase on-compus parking for students By Leo Dirr campus affairs editor-77ft' Signpost Students who go to Disneyland for spring break will get a first-hand look at how to open up 1,400 on-campus parking stalls for Weber State University students, said Phil Skiver, veteran students senator. In the first senate meeting alter Spring Break, Skiver will present a resolution that claims to provide 1 ,400 additional parking skits for students and will cost the university nothing. 'Skiver plans to make the parking spaces available by imitating corporate examples, like shopping malls and Disneyland. Skiver's resolution calls for the approximately 1,200 members of WSU's professional staff, who park on-campus. to park at the Dee Events Center until noon each day. After noon, staff members will be allowed to park on-campus for free, because there isn't a parking problem in the afternoon, Sloyer said. His resolution will not affect parking for faculty. Sloyer came up with the idea when he realized employees at Disneyland and other businesses have to park farther away from buildings than customers, he said. Alma Allied, director of parking and transportation at the University of Utah, said he thinks Skiver's proposal is wise. "A university is a business. And the customers are no! the support staff and faculty. When it comes right down to it. the customers are the students." Allied said. Judy Hurst, a member of WSU's parking committee, said judging from " think you could go as far as to say (staff would be enraged Judy Hurst a past experience with parking, she thought staff members w ould feel discriminated against if Skiver's proposal were to be implemented. When the pay lot, near the Shepherd Union Building, was installed. See Parking page 3 WSU fares fair in recent Utah legislative session By Kari Lynn Ilarland news editor-The Signpost The 1999 Utah Legislature's decisions concerning funding for Weber Stale University has some administrators worrying. With lower than predicted tax revenues and higher than expected highway construction costs, higher education, and WSU in particular, may be seen as getting the short end of the stick. "There were very few bills that were passed that will impact higher education," said WSU President Paul H. Thompson. In past years, student enrollment increases have been the primary source of new funding. I lowever, this year the legislature turned this around with the adoption of a new budget item called non-compensation base funding. The new budget gives $12 of new ba.se funding for each existing student. That means only $ 1 26,000 for WSU this year, plus an additional S63.000 in one-lime money. The Legislature also approved a 3 percent tuition increase for next school year. WSU gets to keep the revenue they would collect on this increase. One of the main concerns this year was salary increases. Thompson said WSU had asked for $2. 1 million for salary increases, as well as a 2.5 percent supplement, because WSU's salaries were so See Session page 3 inside post news seepage 2&3 editorial see page, 4 3 & e see page 6 SpOftS see page 8 Classifieds . . . .see page 1 1

|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

Israel and Palestine: What's goin' on?
in Politics
Tonight special guest host Trey Treyvison explores the topic of Israel. Open lines and open dialogue encouraged for this special issue.
Israel and Palestine and the grand illusion.
in Politics
Israel is under the illusion they can do as they wish as long as they wish to Palestine.
However, this past year has found the State of Palestine is beginning to be a little more agressive in their rhetoric since Iran has begun a charm offensive at the United States.
President Abbas is trying to recover his status as the leader of his people and has started an offensive in the "peace agreement" that is, in my mind a really good idea.
Of course the SodaStream curfluful has come in handy too. I'm luvin it!
Israel, Palestine, Weird Al, and Hot Cars
in Comedy
On today's thrilling, chilling, double-drilling episode of the Kwesstshunubble Intellejenss Rupportt, we will be leapfrogging over each other's fragile egos to chat about utter and completely nonsensical issues. When we get around to the real issues, we will blither and blather about things that we know exactly zilch about. Which makes us probably more informed than most pundits on television. We'll be talking about the ramping up of hostility in Palestine, we'll talk about the resurgence and continued awesomeness of Strange Albert (aka Captain Parodypants), and we'll discuss the douchebag s.o.b. who let his almost two-year-old die by leaving him in a hot car for 7 hours.

Where the hell is real peace?
Israel has been in a constant warn since Zionism. Palestoine has never had peace since the invasion of the Zionists in 1939. It is time for the US, UN and EU to step up the pressure on the zionazis to get this shit done or President Abbas will go to International Court of the UN.

Jews in Palestine and the Slaughtering of the Palestinian People
in Politics
President Obama announced that he would release an additional $70 Million in military aid for Israel. Many are saying that this $70 Million is being used to further terrorize and kill the Palestinian people.
As Dr. Abdullah Mohammad Sindi says, "All Arabs and all Muslims, along with many other people around the world, know very well that the Jewish/Zionist state of Israel is an illegitimate and illegal state established by the power of the gun in 1948, and has been maintained by it ever since." Dr. Sindi is a Ph.D in International Relations.
"An ongoing monitoring mission by the UN's Humanitarian Affairs office shows that attacks by Israeli settlers on Palestinians and Palestinian property in the West Bank has gone up FOUR FOLD in the last eight years.There have been 2,100 attacks on Palestinians by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank since 2006, and annual attacks have shot up from 115 in 2006 to almost 400 in 2013, according to the reports, published every two weeks, which have been relayed by AP."
The Palestinian people do not have problems having children. During the period between the beginning of July and the end of September of the year 2011, the Gaza Strip had witnessed an average of 158 new births EVERY DAY, and in the year 2013, the Crude Birth Rate for the Gaza Strip was 37.1.
Israel's Crude Birth Rate from 2009-2013 was ONLY 21.0.

Pauly D is hitting the road with Britney Spears again -- but TMZ has learned this time ... he's bringing his reality show cameras with him.
The "Jersey Shore" star was Britney's opening act for a few shows back in August -- and one time was even on the receiving end of a lap dance from Brit.
According to our sources, Pauly D will be rejoining Britney for the final show of her tour, taking place December 10 in Puerto Rico. We're told Pauly D will be bringing along the crew from his upcoming spin-off show for MTV to document the whole thing.
A rep for Pauly D had no comment.
And there will be the token "Britney comes to his dressing room backstage to wish him good luck" shots that are all set up and scripted, just like the ice fight.
Proof that Jersey Shore is fake.
If you're 31 and act like you're 15, you're too immature for her bro!
The whole crew! Good luck Britney you will be needing it.
both losers....
Ewwwww. Just ewwww!
Not a surprise as they share the same manager. Britney's just giving the guy a little help.
Trailer park tour
opening act, what the he!! does Pauly D do? stand there and smile plus drip tan on the stage.
Man, she just looks BEAT.
i hope they use protection.
poor girl has never found any1 on Justin level. Loser in luv like Jen Aniston.
Come on Brit... this is a total turn off!
Talking about train wrecks...more ammo for Mike Judge with his "Beavis and Butthead"
He should hit that.
She's hot, i just did a photo shoot like this http://tinyurl.com/c7xa9ag
Britney is way too good for this xD they don't even fit well together because he is so wild and she is so mature now.

Reader Allie was driving on 15th and Walnut in Center City and was kind enough to email this picture of an XTRAFLY vanity license plate to us.
I half-expected to see a 70's style afro sticking out of the top of this car, kind of like the guy on the Pure Funk CD has. I'd also really like it if this car was blasting Curtis Mayfield's "Superfly" or Isaac Hayes' "Theme from Shaft."
If the car wasn't playing either of these two songs, than this stupid vanity plate cannot be justified. Thanks for the email Allie!

And so it continues … for the Green Bay Packers.
The injury list has grown larger but they find a way to recapture their rightful spot atop of the NFC North.
This weekend's match up between the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings will continue to be one of my annual favorites. Most of my friends/family are Vikings fans so the bets, trash talking, and speculating have begun. For me it represents a time to solidify bragging rights to the Packers being the superior team. A notion that Greg Jennings is still familiar with if he hasn't recovered from the brain-washing. With the speculation, it is important to keep in mind that this is an NFC North showdown in which it is key to tread lightly.
Usually the Vikings are a pretty mediocre and inconsistent team, winning a few and then losing a few up until the end of the season. This year, however, they are just
downright horrible. Monday night may have been the ugliest football game they have played all year. Their only win has come against the equally struggling Pittsburgh Steelers halfway across the world.
On the surface, the Vikings look like they should be performing a little better than a 1-5 record. According to the 2013 overall NFL rankings they are currently 24th in passing yards, averaging 214 yards per game. They, and by "they" I mean Adrian Peterson, are 19th overall in rushing yards averaging 102 yards per game.
On the other side of the ball they currently rank 29th in pass yards allowed (288 yards per game) and 14th in rushing yards allowed (102 yards per game). Two of their six games were lost in the final seconds as they gave up touchdowns to the Chicago Bears and Cleveland Browns.
Don't let these sub-par statistics fool you as the Vikings are capable of giving the Packers some competition. A fierce pass rush led by Jared Allen from the outside will have to be accounted for as well as the elusive Adrian Peterson in the backfield. I didn't want to bring it up, but week 17 last year is a perfect example of what happens when the Vikings are clicking. I am confident that on offense, the Packers will continue to produce despite the latest injuries. If they keep playing good football on defense, Green Bay will make it hard on Josh Freeman (or whoever they play at QB) and company to find any rhythm. That will be key.
All we can hope for on Sunday is more of the same from the struggling Viking squad in order for the Packers to get the win in Minneapolis.

Newsflash: I'm Not a 'Christian Hypocrite'
Guest blogger Michelle Kemper Brownlow: I have gone to church since I was born. I am born again. I pray, go to Bible studies and teach teens about Jesus ... but I also gossip, tell white lies and say bad words. Does this make me a hypocrite? Abso-freakin-lutely NOT!
Some people clearly are hypocrites when they are intentionally perpetuating the "i go to church" thing. They are judging others while they themselves are doing sinful things as well. However, for the most part, those who screw up and consider themselves Christians are as you say good people just trying to do their best. For people who see this and call them hypocrites and thus must not be "true" churchgoing folk-they are using it as an excuse to vilify the entire religion. It's an excuse, because when you look at the teaching of Jesus himself he did not expect us to be perfect, he wanted us to come as we were, to be honestly trying to be our best selves. Some people just aren't as strong as others and screw up more.
"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
When you judge others you are a Christian hypocrite.
I think this is an awesome story and yes, I can relate.. I was glad to have read this, because I am a sinner and I have been carrying my sin around my neck thinking I am the worst sinner, but reading this helps me to realize I am not the only one who has sinned. I stayed in a relationship and wasn't married and someone told me I might go to hell for that. You know that almost ruined me. It scared me and I'm still not over that. I just hope God has truly forgiven me for it, cause I'm trying to forgive myself for it. I am afraid to go to church now. I guess I feel condemned for what I did. But reading your story has helped me to realize I am human like the rest of us and nobody is perfect. Thank you for writing it, I appreciate it. Any feedback would be appreciated also. my email is buckie48192@yahoo, and God be with us all, Amen!!
Going to church doesn't mean that they are sinless or they are more closer to God. The church is just the symbol of your faith. There are many sinners or there who always go to church but they are more sinful than a criminal. Politicians and corporate people are a good example of that. Most of these people always go to church, pays tribute, gives big amount of money but do many unforgivable sins like corruption, graft, tax evasion.
Thank you for writing this. I too am a Christian and yes I sin and yes I judge and yes I'm not always nice. I also know that I was not put on this earth to be perfect but to learn from my mistakes and experiences. I also know that when I sin and truly feel sorry for it, I can pray to God and asked for his forgiveness and guidance to help me. Being a christian does NOT mean you live a perfect life but that everyday you try and strive to live as Jesus would.
First, I recommend everyone truly interested in this to learn the difference between sin and iniquity. Sin is "missing the mark". Paul talks about falling short (sinning) daily in Romans 7 which is something we all do. Iniquity is repeated, willful sin that *will* send you to hell.
Also, learn what repentance truly means. It means to "turn away" from your sin or iniquity. When you repent, you should truly intend not to do it again.
"Judge not…." is pulled from the Bible so often, but you need to read the whole chapter to truly understand it (Matthew 7). It is truly defining hypocrisy, not blanketly forbidding judgment.
Actually the Bible does say we must judge (and rebuke) righteously for the benefit of the person and only for that reason (John 7:24, Matt 18:15).
It all boils down to the idea of the whole New Testament (really the new covenant). It's a matter of the heart. But also with an eye toward being a good witness.
I really enjoyed reading this and all the replies to it. There are some Christians who do not go to church. There are some people that go to church that might be "hypocrites" to begin with, then God touches their lives and they become born again. It is only God's place to judge. People are not perfect, and in my opinion people who do judge never live in glass houses. Church goers whether or not they are "hypocrites" or not need church. God works in mysterious ways, and hopefully people will let Him touch their lives the way only He can.
I agree that people should go to church to try to ask for help to fix their mess, but what about the ones who don't even make an attempt to fix things? No I can't see whats in their heart, but I clearly see what they say and do. Sorry, but actions speak louder than just showing up on Sunday.
The Christians I can't stand are the ones who pretend to be so damned pious and perfect all the time but you know darn well they aren't. They preach, quote and judge, try to show everyone how perfect they are but catch them in an off moment and all hell breaks loose.
Yes, I go to church. I actually work in the nursery. I know I'm not perfect and I know I judge and sin like everyone else. But at least I know I do it and don't pretend to be perfect because I believe.
I love this post! I am a Christian, too, and its nice to have someone FINALLY clear this up! One of the first things to understand about loving Jesus is accepting that you are a sinner and can never be perfect - or, Jesus like. You should always strive to be, as that is the role of a Christian, but to think that you ARE perfect or aren't a sinner is the biggest sin of all.
This post is a total cop-out. You really think you are exonerated because you believe in Jesus? "Oops, I did it again" only works for Brittany Spears. This whole post reads like a big excuse to this non-Christian, and only solidifies why the religion doesn't hold water. Why not try harder to BE like the 'Savior' you claim to believe in, instead of chalking it up to your silly Sinner-ness?
Ok, thanks for filling me in. I just assumed everyone was human and aside from violating the law what you do in your life is your business. If I don't like you I wont keep you in my company. Then again I'm not a Christian and don't feel it's my place to judge every moral behavior of every person I come across.
On a side note why do you feel you have to defend all Christians. If someone has a problem with a specific persons use of religion as a weapon or tool to do harm onto others why do you then feel the need to defend the institution as a whole.
People who speak out against other specific people aren't necessarily talking about you. No need to be so defensive. Just do what you know is right just like us non believers do.
I agree @ John. There is a difference in sin (missing the mark) and practicing sin (iniquity). As Christians we should never be practicing sin (i.e., fornication, defilement of the flesh, murder, steal, habitual lier) but we all miss the mark daily (i.e., untruthful, gossip, swearing, unclean thoughts etc.) And we are thankful that God has provided a means to have forgiveness by means of our savior and ransom Jesus Christ. Practicing sin is so hard to break if that is our folly but if we pray we can ask for Gods help by means of the holy spirit. No we shouldn't judge (making the assumption that another person is either more sinful than we are or that another persons actions are less than holy) because we are all of the same level in God's eyes when it comes to sin and forgiveness. No sin is greater or lesser than the next EXCEPT for blasphemy against God. But the Bible tells us that if we see a brother going down the wrong path that it is our duty to help them or bring it to their attention. (Galatians 6:1) Alot of people have a problem with that because they mistake it for judging. That is why the scripture says that we should do it with a spirit of mildness. So that the other person is not offended. Remember when we help our brother or sister its not only for their protection but for our own. The scripture says "for fear that you also may be tempted."
@ KS We should always oppose anyone of any religion who uses it as a weapon or tool to harm others. Personally, I don't defend "Christians" I defend Christ. Because not all "Christians" truly follow Christ. There are those who call themselves "Christians" that use religion in the name of Christ in a way that is nothing befitting of Jesus Christ himself or what he stands for. Those who use the Word of God to fit their twisted agenda. In any case, I try to be Christ-like individually. I don't feel there is a need to defend all Christians because all Christians are not alike. Even Jesus, knew that there would be those among his flock who would use his words and deeds in a manner that would bring harm. (Matt. 24:24) Since "Christianity" is not universally united then there is no need to defend the entire institution. But I do believe that there are those who are True Christians. And yes, do what you know is right!
I giant post of excuses and superior ideals. Truly, I don't care what you do on Sunday, but I do care if you scrimp on your taxes and cheat the law. That, my friend, is between me and you and your God does not exonerate you. Sorry. Try again!

By Chelsey Seidel
Edited by Frankie Mansfield
The crowd roars, rap music blasts, and the Columbia QuadSquad Allstars burst onto Jamil Temple's roller derby track in true bad-girl fashion. Fans at the track's edge hope for a high-five from their favorite skater.
But forget the fishnets, tattoos and leopard spandex. It's Sunday afternoon, and these women have come to play physical, raw roller derby as they prepare to face Virginia's Dominion Roller Girls.
Outside the arena, they are teachers, aquatic biologists, lawyers, mothers. But when wheels their hit the track, they morph into hard-hitting, adrenaline-pumping competitors.
Call her 'Mel A-Noma'
A co-captain of the Columbia QuadSquad Allstars, Melissa Engle's black fishnets and red spandex booty shorts are far different from her wardrobe as an aquatic biologist.
"I was one of those girls who didn't have a lot of female friends growing up – you know girls are kind of catty, but it's amazing how we all get along and how we have each other's backs," says Engle, who has been competing since 2007.
One of the smaller skaters on the team, her petite frame is outlined with muscle. The bright stars on her helmet's sides say she's the jammer, the one who scores by pushing through the pack with the help of her teammates and passing the other team's skaters.
Beware the 'suicide seats'
The QuadSquad began in March 2007 with seven women. Now there are 55, including the 20-member Allstars that are the highest skill level and a 20-member "B" team called the Miss B-Havers. Dues are $30 a month. New prospects are evaluated during open skates at the Skate Station USA rink in Lexington. One of the requirements: Be able to skate 25 laps in five minutes.
"Sit along the track at your own risk! Skaters have been known to land in a few laps," the announcer shouts as people sit in the "suicide seats," where skaters flying off the track can land in your lap.
As the Allstars warm up for the bout, fans wearing T-shirts with their favorite skater's name, children with painted faces, parents and grandparents fill three rows of folding chairs along the track and high bleachers along the Jamil Temple walls.
It's Steve Crabbs' first time at a bout. He says his friends persuaded him to come.
"They said hot women, hitting each other, skating in circles and lots of collisions. And I'm like 'I'm there!'" Crabbs says.
Knock 'em out, then eat
"Eva Las Vegas," Eva Foussat, says she never was a "girlie girl." She says she came to a bout in 2009 and by halftime decided she wanted to skate. Foussat had never played a sport, never skated, never been on a team.
"It's a sport where you can knock someone out and then go out for Mexican afterwards," Foussat says. "I like that a bunch of women can come together for this one thing even though we come from wildly different backgrounds."
"Leighthal" Leigh Cohen drives three hours from Winston-Salem, N.C., twice a week to play with the QuadSquad.
Cohen got involved with roller derby when a team in her area did a promotional event. But she chose the QuadSquad because of the bond she feels with the other skaters.
"The team has some amazing superstar role models for me, real personal heroes in derby. When I realized it was something I could do, I decided I had to go for it and not have any regrets, and it's been amazing," she says.
Tuesdays it's practice. Sundays like today, it's a bout. In between is her full-time job as a second-grade teacher.
"It makes it easy to make the drive when you are just in love with something. It doesn't feel like an extra job or an extra chore because it's something I'm looking forward to all the time. It balances the school life," Cohen says.
Less theatrics, more athletics
This isn't the roller derby of the 1960s and '70s with its staged fights and planned victories. The current version that re-emerged a decade ago in Austin, Texas, is less about theatrics and more about athletics, although some of the flamboyant costumes look like they came straight from an old-time, smoke-filled arena.
It's also about talent and empowerment, like giving girls 10 to 17 a way to channel aggression through the QuadSquad's Mini Derby League.
"I think a lot of times when you hit puberty a lot of that gets pushed out of girls," Engle says. "All of a sudden you go from being a tomboy to having to be very polite and proper. I think it's a great outlet to keep tomboyishness alive."
'A family, a dysfunctional family'
Two days after beating Virginia, the derby girls practice as Beyonce's "Naughty Girl" bumps the speakers during warm-ups. Knee and elbow pads slam the ground as they practice blocking and jamming. But they all smile through their mouth guards.
Co-captain "Holly Hunter" Stacey Russell-Franklin, in a Superman shirt and bright red tights, has been roller figure skating competitively since she was 12. Now, at 30, she balances roller derby with her job at a law office.
"It's a really nice thing, and we're all like a family, a dysfunctional family at times at that," Russell-Franklin says. "I was shy before I started roller derby, and now I'll pretty much talk to anybody because I'm so used to dealing with people with different attitudes and backgrounds."
She says the bond is sister-like, but stronger.
"We spend so much time together, we have to like each other. There will be helmets flying, and you might get mad in practice if you get hit. But we handle it like athletes instead of 60 girls," she says. "We love the sport so much, we don't have a choice."
It's a bond on the track that remains a mystery even to them.
"It's strange," Engle says, "you just look out for each other more. People I wouldn't talk to off the track are my best friends here."

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Im curious what people say, so who is your favorite Kage from any village ever and why?
Yagura, 4th Mizukage.
He's a boss.
Hiruzen. I mean... c'mon, it's Hiruzen.
gaara,hashi and minato.... wood,sand and FTG
I like minato
Hashirama. He's the one who started the set system of a village, and he's just plain BA.
"Alive" Mei. Two KG and plot no jutsu...
All-time Minato. FTG, FTW!!
Hashirama. No explanation required.
Samehada since he's the kage of all swords
Tobirama Senju
Because he is loyal, passionate about the village and REALIST he doesn't bulls#!t around remember when thw Kinkau Force he realized they were dead. Don't forget that he created the ACADEMY, Chunin Exams, ANBU and the Konoha Police force.
Minato, he helped make one of my fav character
Gaara is awesome
Current mizukaqe! Because If i belonqed to the narutoverse we'd ****
Muu and Trollkage.
Tsuchikage his jutsus are effin amazing
Hashirama duh ????
Minato and Hashirama.
hashirama...he is a real badass.
I must 100% agree with you here.

Boss that A 14 years old controlled? Yagura is a b!tch.
by the way Trollkage/Mu/Minato can't decide

Tsunade is my favourite because she was the first ever proof that cool female characters exist in the Narutoverse. I find good female leads in anime really rare and interesting. Tsunade lost everything and is still a woman as tough as nails, she fought to protect a kid she barely knew, survived wars, saved her village, fought Madara Uchiha and Orochimaru with no fear and can make herself invincible for an amount of time. I don't get whats NOT so cool about her!
He's the most boss character out there
Gaara, Second Mizukage (I find this guy to be hilarious)
Kakashi hatake

- Peace Paddle: Laird Hamilton, Kelly Meyer Lead a Call for Action to Protect Our Oceans
- Hundreds of people joined together at NRDC's Malibu Peace Paddle to raise awareness about the critical problems facing the ocean. Now we need your help to make sure world leaders take decisive action to protect our oceans at the Rio+20 Summit this June.

- Successfully Rebuilding American Fisheries Under the Magnuson-Stevens Act
Fact Sheet
- The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act is working to protect and rebuild America's ocean fish populations. Rebounding fish populations create jobs, support coastal economies, repair damaged marine ecosystems, provide increased recreational fishing opportunities and supply fresh, local seafood.
- California Snowpack and the Drought
Fact Sheet
- Snowpack, vital to California's water supply, has long replenished the state's reservoirs naturally in advance of the dry summer and fall months. Snowpack normally provides one-third of the water used by California's cities and farms each year. But if drought conditions persist, 2014's April snowpack measurements could be among the lowest since state snow surveys began in 1930.
- Help Protect Our Ocean for the Future
Fact Sheet
- The Mid-Atlantic States' ocean waters face growing challenges, from pollution to loss of habitat and sometimes competing industrial uses. The offshore waters serve as migratory corridors for much ocean life, including endangered North Atlantic right whales, sea turtles and many fish species, yet they are an increasingly busy place.
- Solutions to Plastic Pollution in our Oceans
- Plastic can be found in every ocean and waterway on the planet, even in places uninhabited by humans. This toxic garbage is wreaking havoc on marine ecosystems. Unless we take immediate action, the damage will only get worse.

My friends Meg Liffick and Joe Ball got married yesterday.
When it came time for the couple's traditional first dance, Joe read prepared remarks explaining that instead of dancing together, they wanted to open the dance floor to their gay and lesbian friends who are still legally denied the right to marry.
This was a large and very diverse wedding in a state that doesn't even recognize same-sex civil unions, let alone marriage. And yet the ovation that these people received while dancing to The Beach Boys' "Wouldn't It Be Nice" was like nothing I've ever heard at any wedding. If there were dry eyes, I didn't see any.
Change is coming.

From July 24, 2011 10:29 AM: "those people"
On the heels of gay marriage and what I expect will become more rampant. I wake up to have my father and my brother say "yay gay marriage" which made me hopeful about my usually homophobic relatives…. followed by this statement concerning someone I love dearly. "Usually he takes time when (his partner) is away to fool around. You know how those people are, the gay people are"…..
they both laugh hysterically at their "wit" and then have the audacity to invite ME to breakfast….I rolled my eyes, scoffed, said that's not okay, and went right back upstairs…
I do not need to eat breakfast with "those" people….

Paul is perceptive. In 2008, Barack Obama used a movie analogy about Chicago gangland warfare. "They bring a knife, we'll bring a gun." Well, Republicans brought the proverbial pen of truth while the Obama campaign brought the proverbial guns and knives of deceit, propaganda, and empty promises. Repubicans expected more than 50 percent of American voters might actually think about their political commitments and not be swayed by Rap singers and washed up, Rust Belt crooners. The dumming down of America is in full bloom. Ultimately, we fail if our education systems fail. We have to ask the right questions and then equip people with the basic knowledge to pursue those questions. Until then, it's "Forward" or "Change." Woe is us.

Albany- Britt Bazemore knows what it's like to spend a day in the shoes of a YMCA day-camp counselor.
Passing foam footballs from camper to camper, Bazemore was a Suntrust volunteer for United Way's Corporate Day of Caring.
"Kind of help them play the games and they get to make new friends and everything else," said Bazemore,
Suntrust employees helped with almost every kind of game during one of the last days of summer vacation for most of these kids.
"Ya know, last day of camp," he said. "Getting ready to go back to school and everything else. So come out and support them and help them have fun."
While they helped run the fun for the crowd full of kids, Phoebe Putney people put in a few hours at the Salvation Army.
"The beds and digging, and we had the tiller," said Caree Elder, a Phoebe employee. "We had dirt hauling in here. Just sprucing up the place."
Sprucing up the place because this is a place that is important to the community. Eight companies provided more than 50 volunteers for Thursday's event.
The Day of Caring is about finding ways for people who live in the community to give back. Employees from Darton College helped with Meals on Wheels, while Ivan Allen employees bathed and groomed dogs at the Albany Humane Society.
"We wouldn't be able to exist if it wasn't for the surrounding community supporting Suntrust," Bazemore said.
The community wouldn't exist either if it wasn't for volunteers like him.

Denmark, WI -- Football is a family affair this year at Denmark High School. A unique, on-field duo is helping their team to a winning season.
John Maino says, "I've covered and followed high school football in the area for a real long time, but this past Friday night was a first. A brother and sister combo helped lead their team to a big win."
Leiterman Field in Denmark was hopping. A nail biting win against their rivals from Luxemburg- Casco is always reason for celebration, but can you imagine what it's like for Mike and Terri Deprey sitting in the stands?
Terr says, "I'm probably nervous, but it's excitement too, hoping the team and everybody does well."
Maybe there was reason to be just a bit more nervous than most. Their son John, a 14-year-old freshman, made his first start at quarterback.
John says, "It was very nerve wracking. My hand was shaking under the center, and my foot was bouncing up and down too."
It couldn't have started out any better. A 38 yard touchdown run the first time he touched the ball.
"I was thinking I'm actually going to run the first play in for a touchdown. Oh my gosh," said John.
Now here's the kicker to the story, literally. It was his sister, Nellie, booting the extra points.
"I never thought football with my sister," John said.
Their dad isn't as surprised that these two are teammates.
"If you saw them when they were growing up, they were pretty competitive at home. It was down to you know who could eat faster, who could run faster. I think Danielle stopped beating him up last year," recalls Mike.
Nellie went 3-3 on the night. Not bad for the former soccer player who kicked her first football just a year ago.
"I was thinking wouldn't it be funny to be a football player, and then I went and kicked a football a few times and thought, I can do this," said Nellie. "I know dad is really excited for us. Mom gets a little worried that we might get hit, that I might get hit."
For Nellie, a four sport star, playing high school football isn't that strange. It's seeing her brother treated like a star that's going to take some getting used to.
Nellie says, "Everybody wants to wear his jersey and everybody thinks he's the coolest person in the world, but I'm like, he's just my little brother."
