On March 13, 2014, the San Antonio City Council pre-approved a long-term lease that would allow Google to begin construction to bring Google Fiber to the city. While Google has not yet chosen San Antonio as a destination for its fiber network, the city's leaders hope that the lease will encourage Google to do so. Wired discusses the city's move.
Google's high-speed Internet service is currently available in Kansas City, Missouri, and Provo, Utah. Google has also announced plans to expand to Austin, Texas, and will be considering thirty-four additional cities in nine different metropolitan areas for further expansion. The company has established selection criteria that will speed up the review process and ensure that construction can proceed quickly. For instance, Google asks interested cities to provide details on existing infrastructure and to review local permitting processes. (more…)

"I really enjoyed the Guest at Your Table service. . . . Thank you for bringing this to our congregation."
—Judith Weatherbie, Magic Valley UU Fellowship, Twin Falls, Idaho
The boxes are back! If you are new to Guest at Your Table, the box (pictured to the right) is a key component of Guest at Your Table. Typically, boxes are
handed out at your programkickoff and kept at participants' dinner tables (or other gathering space) throughout the program. While the box is there to collect your loose change and bills, it also serves as an important physical reminder of the work UUSC and our partners are doing to defend human rights around the world.
Stories of Hope is the other key component. This booklet is where you'll find inspiring stories about UUSC's partners and their amazing work! Keep a copy near your box. Each time you gather near the box (for dinner, as an example) read through one of the stories, discuss it, and consider the profound ways a Guest at Your Table gift will help advance human rights.
Order Guest at Your Table boxes, Stories of Hope, and more!
Click here for downloadable resources!
We encourage volunteers to look for ways to keep waste to a minimum. Interested in doing Guest at Your Table without ordering a new box? Here are some suggestions:
- Try using this free template for making a box from recycled materials, from PlanetPals.com. You can paste images from Guest at Your Table, or do your own artwork, and then assemble.
- Reuse a large box, decorate with images from the Guest at Your Table poster, and cut a slot on the top. Use this box for participants to put their Guest at Your Table envelopes.
Getting everyone engaged
Each year, we ask Guest at Your Table coordinators to share with us any events or activities that made their program stand out. The creativity and commitment that goes into these activities is impressive. How do you make your Guest at Your Table program special?
We hope that the partial list of past activities will inspire you to try something new during Guest at Your Table. Share your own ideas and pictures by e-mailing development @ uusc.org. Thank you for your time, support, and creativity!
- The religious education director at First Universalist Church in Denver, Colo., prepared a social justice youth workshop, including a play she wrote based on Stories of Hope, which some of the youth performed for the other children. Then the youth wrote their own plays!
- The religious education classes at First Unitarian Church in Rochester, N.Y., advertised in the congregation's newsletter to do "Chores for Change"; throughout the month, they did odd jobs and put the proceeds toward their Guest at Your Table collection.
- The UU Church of Palo Alto, Calif., created a hope calendar, similar to an advent calendar. It drew from Stories of Hope and listed activities and ideas for each day from Thanksgiving through Christmas that families could use during Guest at Your Table.
- Members of the UU Society of Grafton and Upton in Grafton, Mass., created and reflected each week on "wondering questions" about the guests featured in Stories of Hope.
- Children at the UU Society of Grafton and Upton created a mural of the guests from Stories of Hope. The mural served as a visual reminder to congregants throughout the program.
- The River Road UU Congregation in Bethesda, Md., has an annual alternative gift market and included items related to the work being done by our featured partners, including smaller-scale items so children could participate. For example, one option was "$5 share of materials for a groundnut sheller," which helped teach about appropriate technology used by partners in Uganda.
- The fifth- through eighth-grade classes at the UU Church in Barnstable, Mass., made bean soup mix and sold bags of it at coffee hour, while helping to distribute boxes.
- North Shore Unitarian in Deerfield, Ill., recognized the top two contributing families in the worship service with a small open-hands statue and featured their names in the weekly bulletin. (Note: be sure to get permission before recognizing people publicly for the amount of their donation!)
- Children at the UU Church in Springfield, Vt., started a fundraiser with a microloan: using primarily recycled and natural materials, they made door swags and centerpieces to sell at coffee hour.
- In Golden, Colo., Jefferson Unitarian Church volunteers held a youth religious education class during services, with a slide show of UUSC and Guest at Your Table featuring pictures and stories. Students role-played being guests and hosts.
- A couple from First Parish Church in Duxbury, Mass., pledged to match their congregation's Guest at Your Table contributions up to a maximum of $5,000.

I have used tonnes of different blushes over the years coming from all sorts of high-end brands (MAC, Tarte, Chanel, Nars, Stila etc.) and I am yet to come across a better formula and product as this! I am down to my last little bit of this and will need to repurchase soon, something I have never done for any other blush before! Hands down my HG powder blush.
The formula brushes on evenly and smoothly and is very long wearing. This colour is the perfect pink for my NW25 skin tone. I love that it is matte and gives the cheeks and natural colour without looking like you have blush on. You can always add shimmer or highlight on top if you want the glow.
The packaging is great - nice and slim so great to keep in your makeup bag and travel with. They have recently started stocking this in Target in Australia too which makes it easily accessible and affordable!

This is currently my favourite blush!
For reference, I am MAC's Nc25.
Packaging is cardboard, which I kinda like because it's not fragile, and it's very thin and sleek. The printing on the front is cute and there's a nice mirror inside. Closure is magnetic and safe.
Argyle is a matte, warm toned baby pink. It's quite vibrant on the cheeks, so it's a gorgeous colour for spring/summer. It comes with 0.23z/6.5g of product.
The pigmentation is amazing! It doesn't kick up a lot of powder compared to most highly pigmented blushes. What I love the most about it is the longevity. Oh boy, this lasts through hours and hours on my skin. This is the first (and, so far, the only) truly long lasting cheek product I've ever tried. I have very oily cheeks and skin that eats makeup like nothing else. With this, though, I never have to worry about having pale looking cheeks after a few hours. It's the blush I always go for when I know I'll be having a long day!
I do wish this had a satin finish, just because that's my personal preference. But I know many of you love a matte finish, so I'm not complaining! The product is very easy to blend and it's doesn't look chalky on the skin.
I ADORE THIS BLUSH. I swear, if you're looking for a long lasting blush, take a look at the Instain line. I don't think you'll regret it.

TheBalm always surprise me by its high quality products and affordable price!

this one, Argyle, is highly pigmented,
with only a slight touch on your face can make a beautiful shade on my cheek,
it is a cute, sweet pink which can light up ur face!
i think i may not repurchase this product again as i always wanna try out new blushes !

Ooooh this is the cutest little blush! I bought it on a makeup-buying-rampage and do not regret it. The colour is this adorable slightly peachy girly pink, and it makes my cheeks give off a healthy rosy glow. You really don't need much of the stuff; I lightly pat my angled blush brush in it a couple times, tap off the excess, and then sweep it across my cheeks. It's so pigmented, you really don't need more. You also get sooo much product for your money; I'd buy it again but I don't think I'll ever have to! All in all it's good stuff, I really enjoy the Instains by theBalm and will definitely look out for other colours when I can no longer resist the inevitable urge to buy more unnecessary beauty products.

+++Very, very, very pigmented! Be sure to sheer it out
++Perfect light pink. Very natural and works well with my medium skin tone
++Cutest packaging. I love how each in stain blush looks like a different magazine cover, making it easy to tell them apart (unlike Nars blushes with the same packaging for all the blushes). I cannot stress enough how much I adore the packaging. So unique and cute.
++Comes with a good mirror
+++6.5 grams. It will last me a very, very long time. I doubt I'll hit pan for years.
-Cardboard packaging. May not look pretty down the road, but it doesn't bother me too much. I know some people cannot stand it.
-Magnetic closure. Some worry that magnetic makeup may open in purses. However, my solution is to keep the blush in the cover it comes with so it doesn't open.
-Priced at $22. This isn't much, but for a college student on a budget, it can be an indulgence.
-Doesn't come with a brush, which is fine for me because I like to choose my brush.
Overall, the pros are much, much greater than the cons. The cons seriously do not bother me at all, but just points to think about if you are considering buying this.
I highly, highly recommend this blush. I would repurchase over and over again, although I doubt I will need to because this will last me a lifetime.

I first heard of the balm through a friend of mine who really loved their products. The Balm here in Canada is quite expensive in comparison the the USA. I think even with the sales in hautelook the shipping and handling adds up and I would still be paying regular price. Anyways, 2x a year london drugs here in Canada usually has a 30% off sale (the lowest the prices goes for thebalm here in Canada according to the sales person). So after waiting since this past summer I finally caved and bought some blushers, highlighters and eyeshadows. This blusher is $28 cdn original price.
Argyle is the perfect girly girl pink blushers. It's incredibly pigmented and you have be careful while applying this blusher... It can make you look like a clown if you're too heavy handed. On my NC30 skin it shows super well... I have to use my real techniques stippling brush to apply this because it's so vibrant with amazing colour payoff. You don't have to use much either. I think this colour would look great in girls and boys with pale skin, but it may not show up much on those with darker skintone.

I love this color on my cheeks! i am quite fair and it gives me just the flush of color when nicely blended out!
this range of Instain products however do require quite a fair bit of blending!
try it!

My HG blush! Lasts longer than any blush I've tried (I've tried many....) I prefer a powder blush (not cream or gel). The packaging is cute, too! I put on this blush in the morning and at the end of the day my cheeks are still rosy!!
I just ordered Lace (different pink)!

LOVE this blush. I bought this as recommended by a friend and chose Argyle because it is the most "natural" pink in the Instain line. It's supposed to work like a stain on the cheek but in powder formula, and because it is very pigmented, a little does go a long way and you have to be careful when applying them. It stays put all day & night. Lovely packaging, it is supposed to mimick the In Style mag cover, with a lovely different retro/gatsby lady on the cover of each shade, makes me love this even more. But then again, I always think that theBalm has the best packaging ever, it's fun, creative, definitely not boring. I'm a big fan of theBalm blushes (I own the Cabana Boy, Frat Boy, Hot Mama and Instain Toile other than this), I think the quality of the blushes is outstanding, and USD22 is definitely worth it.

I'm writing a WordPress plugin that displays a lists of all posts organized by month and year. Similar plugins exists, but those all seem to have huge overhead and an outrageous number of queries. I can get all the info I need with one query, but then I run into problems when I'm trying to display the permalink to each post.
Here is the problem:
The WordPress function
get_permalink($id) accepts $id as either an int or an object. If it's an object WordPress returns the permalink based on the users chosen structure; however, if it's an int, it turns the variable into an object first by querying the wp_posts table. This is a problem because if I have hundreds or thousands of posts, then suddenly I have that many queries too!
Possible solution:
One obvious solution is, in my original query, to return post_date, post_category, etc. and create the permalink structure myself based on
get_option('permalink_structure'), but this doesn't seem very future proof, and then I'm also rewriting code that already exists within the WordPress core.
A second solution is to run
get_posts() and store the results in an array index by
post->ID. Then if I run something like
get_permalink($posts[$post_id]) I'm passing an object and it doesn't require an extra query.
The problem with this, though, is that querying all posts seems really expensive. A dump of the returned array reveals that all the post's content is contained in that variable, and that seems completely unnecessary.
Is it possible to do a new
WP_Query or
get_posts and only return certain information -- namely, don't return all that unnecessary content data? If it's not possible, I think it certainly should be. After all, one of the main criticisms I hear about WordPress is that it's too slow.
Also, if anyone has any other suggestions for how I can achieve what I'm trying to do another way, that would be very helpful.

The keynote speaker for the event was Dr. Dale Henry, an author, educator, trainer and speaker, who is a native of East Tennessee and the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. Henry earned a Bachelor and Master of Science in Secondary Education before he obtained his doctorate degree in 1991 in education with a concentration in Adult and Continuing Education. Henry served as associate dean of professional and graduate studies for Tusculum College in Greenville, Tenn., the oldest college in Tennessee.
Henry, who is considered to be a Southern humorist, uses his Smoky Mountains background to entertain, train and delight audiences. It was no different on Saturday evening as he had the banquet hall at the chamber in stitches with his performance.
"Success in life is not that hard," said Henry. "Success is where your heart is."
However, the main event of the evening was the awards presentation. The biggest honoree of the evening was Megan Madden, assistant vice president of marketing and business for Security Bank, who was doubly recognized as the 2012 Emerging Leader as well as the Chamber's Diplomat of the Year.
Madden, who was born and raised in Dyersburg, is an active member of the community, serving in Feed the Need, the Dyersburg Primary School HOSTS Program, Community Cancer Fund Annual BBQ, the Dyersburg Christmas Parade, Relay for Life, Special Olympics, Union Mission Youth Center, UT Extension Piggy Bank Project, Chimes for Charity, McIver's Grant Read Around Town and the Dyer County Fair Board. Madden is also a Chamber diplomat and is involved in many other community enrichment programs.
Madden was recognized in 2009 as the Chamber's Woman of the Year and
"All of us who are in leadership positions in our companies know we must recruit, retain and develop good people to step up and take on more responsibilities in order to keep our organizations moving forward into the future," said Steve Guttery, director of Downtown Development for the Chamber. "She is more than just involved, she is committed."
"To whom much is given much is expected," said Madden as she accepted her award for Emerging Leader.
The Chamber also recognized two other individuals. Nancy West was named the Distinguished Woman of the Year for 2012 while Jeff Agee was named the Distinguished Man of the Year.
West who was also born and raised in Dyersburg serves the community in a number of ways including: the McIver's Grant Public Library Foundation Board, Dyersburg First United Methodist Church Council, Walk Across Tennessee Planning Board, Healthy Woman Advisory Board, Salvation Army bell ringer and is an Upward Basketball Program Volunteer.
West is currently the Dyersburg City Schools coordinator of Coordinated School Health and has focused most of her career on health and schools. She has emerged as a leader in promoting public health through smoking cessation, weight loss, nutrition, stress management, proper hygiene and highway safety.
Although West sets a high standard, Agee sets an equally high standard as Man of the Year. According to Guttery, judges consider motivation, civic leadership, business leadership, community involvement and dedication in determining the recipient of the award. Agee, who was born and raised in this community, has been employed by First Citizens Bank for the last 30 years and has had an intense focus of serving his community.
Agee is involved with countless organizations such as the Kiwanis Club, the WestStar Program, Leadership Dyer County, and currently serves on the board of United Way of West Tennessee, United Way of Dyer county, Dyersburg State Community College Foundation Board, Dyersburg State Annual Fund Drive, Boys Scouts of America Executive Advisory Board, Dyersburg Middle School Advisory Board, and Tennessee Scholars. Agee has also served as the chairman of the board for the Chamber for the last two years.
"He just keeps on working, keeps on volunteering and keeps on making Dyersburg a better place," said Guttery.
After being presented with the Man of the Year award, Agee delivered his last address as Chamber Board President commenting that he would continue to serve in this role for five years. In his message he pointed to the continued growth in Dyer County and encouraged residents to become involved in their community. Agee presented incoming Chamber Board President Larry White with the chairman's gavel at the conclusion of his speech.
Individuals were not the only ones recognized on Saturday evening, as large and small businesses took the stage to receive honors as well. C&C Pharmacy and owners Kevin Cook and Curtis Colbert were recognized as the Small Business of the Year.
"We are lucky to be able to do what we do," said Kevin Cook, owner of C&C Pharmacy. "Thank you (to C&C employees) for your hard work and dedication."
C&C is also a leader in the community, serving in the Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club, United Way, DSCC Alumni Association Board, and previous service on the board of the YMCA of Dyer County.
The Large Business of the Year Award went to RFW Construction Group, which according to its website has built a nationwide reputation for delivering industrial projects, specializing in the fast-track design and construction of: food-processing facilities, freezers, cold-storage distribution centers, manufacturing facilities and bulk-storage distribution centers. Established in 2003, RFW has experienced single-digit growth in local employees and double-digit growth in revenue since its inception.
The owners and employees of RFW serve in a wide range of organizations including: Dyersburg/Dyer County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, WestStar participants, Leadership Dyer County, Dyersburg State Community College Annual Fundraising Board members, YMCA of Dyer County, Duck Blast 2011 and 2012, Cub Scouts of America and Dixie Youth/Cal Ripken.
"God has blessed RFW," said Larry Rogers, representing RFW Construction Group. "Our team works hard and on their behalf we accept this award."

(Updated 8 December 2015)
If you ask anyone who knows me well to describe my interests, they will more than likely mention computers. Although they are mostly accurate, I prefer to say that I am interested in what computers can do to enrich learning and provide access to information. As a result I have been involved in using new technologies for education for many years.
For example, I served on the Executive Board of CALICO (Computer-Aided Language Instruction Consortium) from 1992 to 1995 and then again from 2011 to 2014. I am also a member of ACTFL, the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages and recently edited ACTFL's 1996 Volume in its Foreign Language Education Series entitled Technology-Enhanced Language Learning. The volume was published by the National Textbook Company (NTC) and is actually still available for purchase here on Amazon.com.
I have found a new avenue for the writing on technology that I have been doing for several years now for various publications and that is now connected to a Web site, Multimedia and Digital Commentary Online.
I am an Associate Professor of French and Instructional Psychology and Technology and do work in the following areas:
My wife and family top the list, of course.
I am very active in my church and pleased to be at Brigham Young University (BYU) (also my alma mater for my undergraduate degree). Skiing is my favorite sport. Paris is my favorite destination in the world.
Prior to coming to BYU in 1992, I spent 20 years in the Air Force, retiring from the Air Force Academy where I spent most of my career. At the Academy I worked in the Department of Foreign Languages where I was instrumental in putting together their interactive videodisc-based language learning center.
