Last December, the GSCVB wrote a brief blog about the introduction of a new tracking report we employ to gauge the performance of a wide variety of businesses tied in with the tourism industry. The Pioneer Valley Travel Barometer indicates the visitation level experienced by some restaurants, hotels, attractions, retail locations, visitor information centers and events in our region, and it gives us a good indication about the Valley's overall shape in the tourism industry.
We just received our most recent report, which reflected activity in December 2007. The only business sector to post an increase in that month was the lodging/accommodations sector (+1.5%). Restaurants and retail were down by 1.0%, attractions decreased 4.8% and visitor information centers were down by 10.4%.
Participating businesses cited the storms in December as well as both Christmas and New Year's Day falling on Tuesdays (normal operating days) as reasons for the declines this year compared to 2006.
We're not surprised to see the dip in numbers, as December was an unusually harsh month weather-wise, and many folks were opting to stay home rather than travel to (or within) the Valley and enjoy our many great restaurants, attractions and shopping sites. As with most of these surveys, outcomes are cyclical, and we're confident that the approach of spring - and better travel weather - will yield more promising numbers in the weeks ahead.
We'll keep you posted and update you with future Travel Barometer reports.

A unit of the Spanish energy company Gas Natural Fenosa has agreed to purchase 4.48 billion cubic feet of natural gas over two decades from a Cheniere Energy subsidiary that operates a liquefied natural gas terminal in Cameron Parish, officials said Monday. The $9 billion deal is the second long-term LNG purchase agreement from a project on the Gulf Coast, and Gas Natural Aprovisionamientos, a subsidiary of Natural Gas Fenosa, could begin exporting LNG to international gas markets as soon as 2016.
Late last month, British gas producer BG Group agreed to purchase 170.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas from the Sabine Pass LNG terminal, which the U.S. Department of Energy authorized in May to export up to 803 billion cubic feet of natural gas per year. The project is expected to create thousands of jobs when expansion work on the facilities begin next year.
"With this agreement and the previously announced agreement with BG Gulf Coast, LLC, we have reached our contract capacity target for the first phase of our project," Charif Souki, chief executive of Cheniere Energy, said in a statement. "We will now proceed towards making a final investment decision in order to start construction on the first two liquefaction trains in early 2012."
In recent years, while the petroleum industry was making plans to develop dozens of new North American terminals for importing liquefied natural gas, the development of shale gas plays across the country, including the Haynesville formation in northwest Louisiana, changed all that by making natural gas more readily available from domestic sources
By comparison, the U.S. consumed about 23 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in 2010, according to the U.S. Energy Information Agency.

Found it >at:http://www.ncjweb.com/k3lcmaxgainradials.pdf In a cursory reading of K3LC's radial article, I found two data points that seem counter-intuitive to me. In general throughout Tables I - IX, for a fixed amount of wire (8000 feet, say), the "peak gain" determined by EZNEC4 increases monotonically as the soil quality is varied from "very poor" to "average" to "very good". This seems reasonable to me, since the soil is effectively in parallel with the sparse radial screen. However, this does not appear to be true on 40 meters, where the "peak gain" figures for 4000 and 8000 feet of wire are worse for the case of average soil than they are for either very good or very poor soil. According to Tables I - III, both "very poor" and "very good" soils provide higher peak gain (1.68 and 2.10 dBi, respectively) at 7.15 MHz than does average soil (1.4 dBi) when using 8000 feet of wire. A similar "dip" is reported for the case of 4000 feet of wire (1.02 and 1.88 versus 0.9 dBi). I wonder if these are typographical errors or anomalies in the modeling. Other comments inspired by K3LC's article: 1. One thing that jumped out at me as I scanned Tables I - IX was that, despite scaling the total wire lengths for the different bands, equivalent progressions from minimum total wire length to maximum total wire length resulted in less improvement at lower frequencies. On 40 meters, for instance, the total variation in calculated peak gain for average soil was 2.89 dB (from -1.49 dBi for 125 feet of wire to +1.40 dBi for 8000 feet of wire). On 80, the corresponding total gain variation was 2.37 dB, and on 160, it was only 1.86 dB. 2. Two other data points I would like to have seen are the peak gain (in dBi) for the same antenna model over "perfect" ground and over sea water, so I could get a sense of how far down in gain EZNEC4 says the article's finite radial fields are, compared to those two idealized situations. 3. The charts in the article make an excellent case for choosing well when siting your future vertical, and for determining how "good" your soil is *before* engaging in a major radial project. Consider 160 meters, for example. With "very good" soil (Table IX), each doubling of total wire used in the radial field results in only 0.1 dB improvement in peak gain. In "very poor" soil (Table VIII), by contrast, each doubling of wire results in about a 2/3 dB improvement -- more than 6 times as much! But in "very poor" soil, you're starting from a far worse loss, so it's going to require a whole lot more wire (and effort) to get comparable peak gain with "very poor" soil. Again comparing Tables VIII and IX, and extrapolating additional 2/3-dB increments of improvement for each doubling of radial wire in "very poor" soil, it's going to take more than 128,000 feet of radial wire for a vertical over "very poor" soil to have the same peak gain as one with only 500 feet of radial wire over "very good" soil! Forget the wire cost -- the labor differential is more than 256 times!!!

Governor tours disaster sites
Kids for a cure
JERSEY SHORE – "Everyone knows someone affected by cancer," Marissa Neese, Tangled for a Cure Relay For Life team co-captain, said. "We wanted to raise awareness and have a fun time doing it."
Neese, a sophomore at Jersey Shore Area High School, has been working since the fall with her team that consists of 10 students and six parents.
"My grandfather Jim Stroud was recently diagnosed with cancer," Neese said. "He is currently going through chemotherapy and though I have many relatives that have had cancer, this year I will be thinking of him as I walk the track and raise money to help support those fighting cancer, like him."
Like the American Cancer Society's motto, she said her team just wants to help "create more birthdays."
This is the team's second year, but Neese's first year as captain. She shares the responsibilities with Derrick Palski, another sophomore at Jersey Shore.
Neese, along with her mother, have been involved with Relay For Life much longer than that.
"We enjoy doing things to help others," Neese said. "I have been doing Relay since I was very young. My mom has always participated on a team, so the Relay is just what we do."
The Tangled team was the first to register online and have raised more than half of their $2,000 goal.
What helped them raise the total of $1,422.79 so far was a jam-packed weekend from April 19 to 21. At a Jersey Shore Community Day on April 19, they accepted donations at both Jersey Shore State Banks and Jiffy Mart, making $273.
On April 20, they had a car wash at Buttorff's Hardware and raised $152.
Their final fundraiser for the long weekend was a table at the Bark For Life event on April 21, where they raised $110. That money came from raffling a dog basket and selling water and snacks.
"We chose these activities to hopefully get our community involved and remind them about the upcoming Relay," Buffy said.
They also raised money by having a raffle, a soup sale, a bake sale, a magazine sale, a Pink Out Day and online donations.
The team has surpassed last year's total amount raised by more than $600 even before this year's Relay For Life event, which will be held May 10 and 11.
At the Relay For Life, they'll have a movie night basket, a Hershey Park ticket basket and face painting, as well as a fruit buffet to offer healthy food to walkers so they can grab a cup, fill it with fruit and continue walking.
"We are excited to meet our goal and raise money for a good cause and, of course, we always enjoy a night hanging out together," Neese said.
Their team name, also known as Tangled in a Cure, is a reference to the 2010 Disney movie Tangled about Rapunzel.
One of the most challenging parts of having a team of mostly sophomores is finding time to get together around everyone's sports and activities, Neese said. However, with the use of Facebook, monthly meetings at team members' houses and school meetings, they find a way to make it work.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Welcome to today's edition of Starting Blocks TV, hosted by Mike Peticca. The usual SBTV duo of Branson Wright and Chuck Yarborough are both off today and will be back next week.
The Cavs and the NBA are at the all-star break, but in the NFL, there never seems to be a break in the news. Already, there is much speculation about the upcoming draft. One of the Browns' main areas of need is on the defensive line. If all of the top linemen are available when it comes the Browns' turn to draft, who would you want them to select? Cast your vote in today's Starting Blocks poll.
Today's guest, Plain Dealer Browns beat writer Tony Grossi, gives his opinion, and answers readers' questions about Cam Newton, the Shaun Rogers decision, Pat Shurmur's media shyness and Jake Delhomme.
SBTV will return Monday, after Ohio State, Cleveland State, Akron and Kent State play key basketball games this weekend, and with the Indians' spring training at full-go.

Ones to Watch | By Rita Connelly
Attention to detail and fabulously fresh ingredients equal success for this neighborhood restaurant chain.
When Shawn Foster opened the first Fosters Grille in 1999, he brought with him a wealth of experience as a chef in high-end restaurants. Wed been doing it for a lot of other companies. We decided to do it ourselves, he says. The we included him and his wife, Nancy, who also had a lifetime of experience in the restaurant industry. We wanted it to be fast-casual, a little neighborhood bar and grill. Id never thought it would become more than one unit.
Soon, through comment cards, they discovered that customers wanted one of those friendly neighborhood spots in their own neighborhoods. The Fosters responded. Over the course of five years I opened six stores, he says from the companys headquarters in Haymarket, Virginia.
Today there are 23 units16 are franchisedoperating throughout the eastern part of the country. Plans to open 1520 stores per year through 2010 are all a part of what Foster calls controlled growth.
Fosters Grille is known for both a fun and casual atmosphere and delicious food. All menu items are made fresh to order, with the claim to fame being the proprietary Charburger. The burger is a half pound of beef topped with the freshest of ingredients. Another customer favorite is the grilled hot dog.
Other items include a chicken sandwich, which Foster says is almost as popular as the Charburger, roasted beef and turkey sandwiches, a garden burger, salads, chicken wings, and a kids menu. All meals include hand-cut french fries and a choice of freshly squeezed lemonade or one of the famous Fosters extra thick milkshakes (units also sell tap beer, which is extra). The cost of an adult meal is $6 to $9. Kids meals are about $4.25. Homemade dessert offerings include cookies and cake and costs begin at just $1.
Everything we use is fresh and of great quality. Its simple, but great. Foster says. This concept can be found companywide with great results. Franchises have won numerous awards in their respective communities, including Best Burger, Best Hot Dog, Best French Fries, and Best Family-Friendly Restaurant.
When diners walk into a Fosters Grille, they find an open warehouse look. The dining rooms are decked out with exposed brick walls, open industrial-style ceilings, wainscoting, and an eclectic mix of advertising signage, mirrors, and similar vintage items. In each unit the body of a stock car can be seen hanging from the ceiling. Fosters has sponsored three such cars over the years.
Customers are involved from the minute they arrive. They fill out their own order slip, circling the toppings they want. They hand in the order slip, which is then given to the kitchen. When the order is ready, their name is called out, they raise their hands and the food is brought hot and sizzling to the table.
Community plays an important role at every unit. The company has a Dining for Dollars program that allows local charities and nonprofit groups to share in the profits. For example, a Little League team will sign up for a specific night. Diners then drop their receipts in a jar with the name of the group on it and 10 percent of the evenings receipts are donated to the group.
It doesnt matter if youre a businessman or woman, student, construction worker, with kids. The look of the warehouse, its already scratched and dented, antique. Its relaxed. I can put my feet up and be myself, be comfortable. It doesnt have that sterile tiled look, Foster says. Its a very special, unique atmosphere that Shawn created here, says Tom Palazzo, vice president of franchise development.
That family-friendly feeling is also extended to franchisees. Foster calls the restaurants a Chef-driven concept. And although he points out someone doesnt have to be a chef, he says, If a person owns it, they become a restaurateur.

I had no idea what color they would be, but I fell in love with the beautiful foliage. It's in the corner of the Day Lily bed, which will soon be full of many different colors, so I figured it would go with anything.
And three of the lilies are about to bloom - I think they will be the lemon-yellow ones - yummy!
Wow. I was floored this morning when I walked outside and found that my Saucer hibiscus had produced not one, but two, beautiful blooms.
The deer will most certainly eat them, as this was a last summer experiment that proved that eat even our native hibiscus varieties, not just the tropical ones. So, I rushed in to get the camera and show you!
We've had a phenomenal heat wave here - 15 days over 100 degrees already and it isn't even Summer yet. But today we got a break. Cloud cover and a few sprinkles came on the edge of a front. (The real rain missed us -- again.) And it was 86 when I went out a little while ago. What a relief.
We're sending prayers to our neighbors in the Midwest who are suffering in the rain and the floods. Our family up there had some flooding in their business and had to move horses from the barn to higher ground, but mercifully it didn't last too long and the clean up is manageable so far.

A fire at a commercial garage in Jersey City displaced two people and left the 63-year-old owner of the building with burns to his face, according to authorities.
The owner was treated for his injuries, which were minor, at the scene of the fire and was transported to the Jersey City Medical Center, according to a police report.
The fire started on the first floor of the South Street commercial garage that included an apartment. The blaze was confined to that floor, police and fire spokesman Bob McHugh said.
The cause of the fire, which started at around 11:29 p.m. Monday and took five hours to control, remains under investigation, McHugh said.
The owner told officers that he heard a loud explosion and immediately evacuated the building.
The apartment in the otherwise commercial building is legal, McHugh said.
PSE&G shut off the gas and power to the building, McHugh said, adding that it was not known at the time whether the building is inhabitable.

Today Experian announced five high-level appointments to its North American Credit Services group. Filling these crucial leadership roles are five seasoned women who have a proven track record of success with Experian. These women include:
- Genevieve Juillard, President, Consumer Information Services
- Hiq Lee, President, Business Information Services
- Laura DeSoto, Sr. Vice President of Marketing, Business Information Services
- Michele Pearson, Sr. Vice President of Indirect Sales, Credit Services and Decision Analytics
- Robin Norris, Chief Financial Officer, Credit Services
While this may read like a typical senior appointment announcement, I believe that it is much more important than that. Being a woman with nearly 20 years of working in a variety of industries, this is an announcement that personally resonates with me. These women have earned their places in an industry in which many may argue is predominately led by men.
I have had the opportunity to work with all of these women at one point or another (some more than others) and have seen first-hand the talented, smart and inspiring women that they are. Many of them have children and have managed to juggle their work/family balance while still maintaining their extensive grasp on the credit industry and steadily climbing the corporate ladder with elegance and grace.
I'm a member of the PR group here at Experian and while it's part of my job to promote news, it is not necessarily my job to create a post like this one. I wanted to personally share this post because the diverse workplace and cultivation of growth we have at Experian is something that I feel strongly about.
You can read more about all five of these women here and learn more about what they are tasked with in these new and challenging roles.

Log In needed $1,329 · LEASE TAKEOVER - Westboro apt! Bright 2-bdrm, walking distance to EVERYTHINGReport Ad
AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY in the Hampton-Iona part of Ottawa. $1329/month.
**Our year long lease ends May 31 and this is a lease takeover. That means you are taking over our lease until May 31, at which point you can choose to go month-to-month with the rental agency.**
This CLEAN, quiet, super bright and spacious 2-bedroom apartment has a newly renovated kitchen, new fridge and stove, hardwood floors, and is very safe and secure. It's the top floor (two flights of stairs) of a cute brick walk-up. (You want to be on the top. No noise over your head!)
It's within walking distance to Westboro and pretty much everything you need is right up the street: groceries, banking, LCBO, pet store, fast food, hair dresser, and (BONUS!) a fantastic park and walk in the woods. It's also right on a bus route. Parking is out front and is only $50/month.
It's great for professionals and empty nesters, but our family of four (plus one dog) has been very happy here!
We're so lucky to have found this place but now it's time for us to move out. Trust me when I say you will not find very many apartments like this. There are a lot of long-term renters in this area. They know a good thing and they're not budging. :)
There are a lot of similar apartments in this area, but many are quite run down. This one is the best of the bunch. Call us anytime: 613-728-2724

Everyone loves a good puzzle, so long as there's an actual possibility of solving it.
On Tuesday, there wasn't: Word Sleuth puzzle on page B3 of The Patriot-News was missing an important final answer.
Every day the Sleuth puzzle features an "unlisted clue hint." Tuesday's was "Capital of Hawaii," which is, of course, Honolulu. But the word "Honolulu" was nowhere to be found in the puzzle.
Needless to say, many readers and puzzle fans were upset and let us know either via email or the telephone.
Puzzled ourselves, we got some enlightenment from King Features Syndicate, who distribute the puzzle: It was a simple error, the customer service rep told us. The creator of the puzzle made a mistake and the syndicate did not catch it until it was too late.
Apparently, Patriot-News readers weren't the only vocal puzzle fans. Word Sleuth puzzlers from across the country let King Features know of their displeasure.
So to all those who were scratching their heads or throwing their pencils across the room Tuesday in disgust, here's our official mea culpa.

An excellent, well-written article. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
As a foot health professional I fabricate/modify shoes and orthotics to elevate foot problems. This barefoot trend has me intrigued and is making me think differently about what I do and create. I've been wearing orthotics for for 20yrs but since I've joined this site and read about the minimalist approach I started to wean away from the custom inserts. It's taken a couple of months for my feet and legs to adjust and still have a way to go. Working on strengthening and am shoeless when ever I can.
1st I modified my ol' running shoes to remove heel elevation and reduce the toe spring. This took some time to adapt to. Calves and hamstring were sore from the added work and stretch but I liked the feel. Next I purchased VFF treks, Merrell trail glove, made a pair of running sandals to compare.

Why shoes make "normal" gait impossible
An excellent, well-written article. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
I was never allowed to go barefoot at any time growing up, then as a tenderfoot had no wish to do so. Last year, having read McDougal's book, I bought the Vibrams, but haven't got used to wearing them expect walking on the lawn. I hope to eventually develop more comfort. I have long, narrow foot, and have worn orthotics for a while after plantar fasc which I suppose I got from walking a fast four miles in an hour for almost thirty years. Now I take it slower.
This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it. Ralph Waldo Emerson

These cycles of experience, of course, all stem from that worm-riddled book. I remember when I found it - in a dimly lighted place near the black, oily river where the mists always swirl.
- The Book
Forbidden Tomes
Bookhounds of London is a brand new campaign setting for Trail of Cthulhu, packed with period detail, where the Investigators seek out books about horror and strangeness and become, seemingly inevitably, drawn into the horror themselves. It provides in-depth material on London in the 1930s, carefully slanted towards Mythos investigators.
An Ancient City
Bookhounds' London is a city of cinemas, electric lights, global power and the height of fashion. It's about the horrors - the cancers - that lurk in the capital, in the very beating heart of human civilization. A Templar altar might well crouch, mostly forgotten, in the dreary Hackney Marshes, but altars to false gods tower over the metaphorical swamps of Fleet Street and Whitehall. And as for lost, prehuman ruins ... who's to say what lies under London, if you dig deep enough?
Terrible Choices
The PCs aren't stalwart G-men or tweedy scholars exploring forbidden frontiers. Instead, they acquire maps (and maybe guidebooks) to those forbidden frontiers from fusty libraries and prestigious auction houses. They are Book-Hounds, looking for profit in mouldy vellum and leather bindings, balancing their own books by finding first editions for Satanists and would-be sorcerers. They may not quite know what they traffic in, or they may know rather better than their clientele, but needs must when the bills come in. This volume includes:
With Bookhounds, Kenneth Hite creates a rich sandbox full of dusty tomes, crooked dealers and dark alleys, a perfect setting for any Mythos investigation.
A Detailed Guide to London in the 1930s
Bookhounds of London also features a complete, indexed street map of London, recreated and adapted from original sources, packed with over 200 locations essential to Investigators. Whatever system you play, this is an essential resource for Mythos roleplayers. The PDF version is fully cross-referenced.

Following discussion during the June 18 work session, the City Council voted to amend the City's Muncipal 2012 Building Codes, but repealing portions of the code concerning plumbing, energy and indoor air.
The building codes took effect July 1.
The Washington State Building Code Council periodically adopts a revived building code. In November, the group adopted the 2012 edition of the International Building Code, International Mechanical Code, International Fuel Gas Code, International Residential Code, International Energy Code, International Existing Building Code and 2012 Uniform Plumbing Code.
The ordinance was revised to eliminate any changes to fence permitting and height requirements. Fences higher than 6 feet require a permit.
In other action, the Council voted to accept a donation of public art from an anonymous source to serve as a veteran's memorial at the June 25 meeting.
The sculpture, created by local artist Karsten Boysen, is titled "Nike," which refers to the Greek goddess who personifies victory.
The Council will determine a location for the art and installation date for the artwork. The artist will store the sculpture until installation.
The City will provide a pedestal for the artwork.

|In recent years the interest in the use of computer- aided Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in archeology and history has increased. In contrast to traditional printed maps all information in a GIS-based map is linked to certain information contained in a database. By using different layers combined with thematic maps and specific SQL-queries on the data stored in the databases each user of GIS is able to create new maps according to personal interests. "Hassia Exploranda", a project being developed in Marburg, uses the wide range of applications GIS provides to visualize the remains of Roman presence in the area of the German federal state of Hesse. The aim of this project is to design a GIS that can be used mainly by teachers and pupils to learn about Roman presence in Hesse by creating their own maps (e.g. showing all locations of a special date). Furthermore it can be helpful for the planning of lessons and for preparing trips to archeological sites.

A couple of years ago, a movie came out called "Waiting for Superman." It was about how education in this country is broken and too many of us are simply waiting for a Superman to come flying out of the sky to fix it for us.
Well, he doesn't have a red cape, but you should know about my education super hero – his name is Trip DuBard.
DuBard first had a very distinguished career in journalism, including earning a degree from the Kennedy School of Government, but his second career in education is his real passion.
He is a shy, self-effacing 50-something-year-old guy who usually sits quietly in the back of the room. When he talks about his work in education, he never uses the word "I;" it's always "we." He would not like it that this column features him and doesn't solely focus on the work – but he's the one who makes it all happen.
Initially, DuBard served one term on the State Board of Education, but was largely frustrated by his inability to have a real impact. So he then focused on this hometown of Florence. In 2000, he started The School Foundation to support public education and today they have an endowment that tops $1.5 million and gives more than $100,000 a year to good public education projects in Florence County. It was his brain child; he set up the foundation and he raised most of the money. The foundation is the only one of its kind in the state supporting public education. Every county should have such a foundation. But he did not stop there. In 2008, he started S.C. Future Minds to expand his advocacy and support for public education statewide. S.C. Future Minds is a unique and innovative group with the purpose of making it easier for people, businesses and organizations to support and help public education – in all kinds of interesting and new ways.
Think of it this way – The state's public schools literally have several million "alumni" all across the state, but they are not really connected and supporting their former schools, as happens with colleges and universities. Clemson, the University of South Carolina and all the rest have hundreds of people working every day to help and support the university – alumni associations, fundraising departments, communications and PR staff, athletic booster clubs and on and on it goes. But what about the 1,218 public elementary, secondary and high schools? Nada, nothing. Other than attending a class reunion every few years, most graduates have no connection with the school once they walk out the door at graduation.
So what does S.C. Future Minds actually do? The answer is lots.
Here are just a few of their activities.
• S.C. Teacher of the Year – an annual celebration that honors the best teachers from all local school districts; one is chosen as the S.C. Teacher of the Year.
• Teacher Appreciation Month – is proclaimed each year by the governor and the legislature and there are dozens of local projects that recognize and support teachers with such partners as Bojangles, Mueller's pasta, Piggly Wiggly, Security Federal Bank, Darlington Raceway and many others.
• An online 'Donate Now' button – has been developed to use digital tools to encourage more online giving to public schools. To date, more than 100 schools have signed up and are using the technology. S.C. Future Minds provides all of the back-end infrastructure, collecting and forwarding donations to the school.
• The S.C. Public Education Partners Conference – brings together annually over 60 different organizations to swap best practices, discuss collaborations, and explore and develop new ways to improve education in our state. Last week,more than 200 people came to the 2013 conference.
• The Dick and Tunky Riley WhatWorksSC Award – is both a clearinghouse of innovative education programs and also an awards program to recognize the most effective and innovative education projects in the Palmetto state.
What's most amazing about what Trip has done is the way that he has done it. First, he's done it all without one penny of government funding. Along with the Chairwoman of S.C. Future Minds, Nella Barkley of Charleston, he has worked tirelessly to bring together over 70 diverse organizations, businesses and people to support the organization. Second, SC Future Minds has had a big impact without getting bogged down in the partisan political swamp that is South Carolina politics. They are respected by people all across the political spectrum.
And third, S.C. Future Minds has creatively leveraged many different partners in achieving results in new and different ways. Too often the first reaction is to ask, "How can we get more money from the state or local government?" Trip and company ask, "What are the best ideas and how can we get more new partners to pitch in and help?"
The Rev. Terry Alexander from Florence is also a state representative and is a leading advocate for public education in the state legislature.
He has watched and worked with Trip for years and says, "Trip has transformed education in Florence, and now with SC Future Minds, he is helping us see what public education can be statewide."
So the next time you think about education in our state and are tempted to throw up your hands and say, "What's the use, what can I do?"
Well the answer is "a lot." Trip DuBard has shown that one person with a passion can make a difference – a huge difference.
Like Clark Kent, he is a quiet and shy guy. But in the world of S.C. education, he's also a modern day super hero – without the red cape.
Phil Noble is a businessman in Charleston and president of the S.C. New Democrats, an independent reform group.

St. Monica Sprints Past Mary Star Of The Sea
Boys' basketball look strong after Cantwell-Sacred Heart defeat
Posted Feb. 11, 2014, 4:53 am
Mirror Staff
St. Monica boys basketball team bounced back from the drubbing it took at Cathedral with a 74-54 victory Feb. 10 over Mary Star of the Sea to improve to 15-10 overall and 6-3 in league play on the season.
The Mariners jumped out to a 26-12 first quarter lead and never looked back. St. Monica claimed a 44-19 advantage at half over the Stars.
The Mariners were led by Senior Kaivon Simab who scored 20 points and had six rebounds and six assists.
He is the fourth Mariner this year to score over 20 points in a game. Dennis Ashley finished with 14 points and four assists, while Kavin Dotson and Spencer Gorman each had 11.
St. Monica's 7'2" center Xiang Yu Meng scored eight points and produced two blocks during the game.
The Mariners finish the regular season on Wednesday night at home against Cantwell Sacred Heart and they will honor the team's six seniors.
The Mariners are currently in third place in the Camino Real League and ranked No.12 in the latest SCIBCA Division 4A poll.

In spite of all the negative rhetoric and mudslinging from both senatorial candidates, it is time to ask ourselves, which candidate will have the clout to strengthen our defense, to assist Mississippi in a substantial way during emergency situations, and to continue supporting education-- Thad Cochran or Chris McDaniel?
During Sen. Cochran's term of service, he has consistently demonstrated his willingness and ability to get the job done. History has recorded time and time again his grasp of the significance of economic development during many challenging situations, namely:
- Katrina
- BP oil spill
- BRAC reviews
- Expansion of Northrop Grumman
- Support of Keesler improvements
- Saving a historic building named the Mary C Cultural and Arts Center in Ocean Springs
- Assistance in locating a major airplane manufacturer in our area
- Support of Infinity Science center and Stennis testing facility
- Help with startup of new Audubon Center in Moss Point
- Reliable support of Mississippi's educational efforts.
This gentle gentleman is worthy of our respect and vote for his many accomplishments so he can continue representing our state with dignity and skill.
Chris McDaniel is a good man but is not ready for "prime time", nor, would he have the needed contacts, or courage of conviction.
In conclusion, McDaniel would certainly try his best but without contacts, experience, or key committee assignments, voters should not expect him to accomplish very much in Washington.

For position sensing in tough factory conditions, the sensor must come in its own protective enclosure to withstand the rigors of the application, as well as satisfy increasingly tougher performance specifications. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) ingress protection (IP) is a frequently quoted measure of how well it is sealed. The first number in the rating, six, indicates the equipment is dust-tight and the second digit rates the amount of water ingress allowed. Common water ingress numbers for sensors include: IP65, IP66, IP67 and IP68. IP65 indicates protection against low-pressure jets from all directions for 1 min with limited ingress permitted. IP66 is similar except protection is against direct sprays. IP67 indicates the sensor is protected against the effects of immersion from 15 cm to 1m for 30 min without water ingress. The most difficult of these ratings is IP68, for protection against complete continuous submersion in water without water ingress under conditions specified by the manufacturer. All of the following sensors have an IEC IP rating and meet tough accuracy and other performance requirements.
Pepperl+Fuchs PMI14V-F112-U-V3 inductive linear measurement sensor has a 14-mm sensing range with resolution up to 0.033 mm. With 0 to 10V analog output, the units have a zero position adjustment providing the flexibility for scaling to shorter usable lengths. Any ferrous metal can provide the target for the inductive sensor. The 35-mm wide x 41-mm deep flush mountable sensors have a repeatability of ±0.05 mm and linearity of ±0.4 mm, providing high performance for short-range linear measurement in a compact package. In addition to short circuit, overload and reverse polarity protection, the linear sensors have an IP67 rating. Target applications include spindle gripper position measurements in the machine tool industry.
Macro Sensors LP 750 Series Position Sensors are ¾- (19-mm) in diameter, hermetically sealed position sensors that can replace potentiometers. Both the pre-calibrated loop-powered 4-20 input/output (Model LPIR) and the nominal 24V dc input, 0 to 10V dc output (Model LPER) are available with standard ranges of 4 to 25 inch (100 to 600 mm). In addition to a standard maximum linearity error of ±0.25 percent of full-scale output (FSO), an optional linearity error of less than or equal to ±0.1 percent FSO is available. Using linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) technology, the frictionless position sensors offer infinite cycle life and higher reliability than potentiometers. Sensors are constructed entirely of stainless steel and hermetically sealed construction allows the sensors to meet the IEC IP68 standard and survive hostile environments. The sensors target industrial position measurement applications including machine tool positioning, hydraulic cylinder positioning, valve position sensing and automatic assembly equipment.
Measuring 10 x 10 x 28 mm, TURCKs uprox+ sensor with a Q10S housing targets the requirements of the mounting and handling industries. The Factor 1 sensor achieves high switching distances for all metals and offers a large degree of mounting freedom. In addition to mounting directly on metal, with an intermediate metal plate the sensor can also mount directly beside another one. With non-flush and partly flush mounted versions, the sensor achieves a switching distance of 5 mm. The fully flush mounting unit reduces the safe switching distance to 2.3 mm but eliminates the need for an additional flush version. Operating in a temperature range of -30 to 85C, the sensor has a chemically resistant and mechanically robust polypropylene housing. The sensor is offered with both a rugged oil-resistant PUR cable, as well as a pigtail version with an M8x1 connector.
Rugged enough for position feedback in wet environments and outdoor applications with an IP67 rating, Celesco Transducer Products SR1A-125 string pot has a potentiometer cycle life of 250,000 cycles. Using a conductive plastic precision 10 kO potentiometer, the cable-extension transducer has a 125-inch stroke, 0.5 percent accuracy and essentially infinite resolution. With a maximum input voltage of 30V dc applied, the movement of the spool with its coupled potentiometer produces an output voltage directly proportional to the position of the measuring cable. Initially designed for off-road construction equipment, the unit has a polycarbonate enclosure and 0.034-inch nylon-coated stainless measuring cable that has a constant cable tension of 23 oz ±30 percent ounces.

After the longest Death Match in history, GM Arkadij Naiditsch of Germany toppled Dutch GM Loek van Wely by the final score of 14.5-11.5. The German grandmaster, playing under the username CaptainJames, took control of the 5+1 and 1+1 segments to overcome a mid-match run and late charge by KingLoek.
The match looked to be lopsided at the outset even though both are Super-GMs and only a few rating points apart. Naiditsch blazed to a commanding 5.5-1.5 start in the opening hour, proving to be the superior player in standard blitz.
The most pleasing game flowed from the typical Sicilian knight sac on d5:
The match gained a lot of drama in the middle 3+1 portion. After losing the opening game to broaden the deficit to five games, van Wely climbed all the way back to even with an impressive 5-0 streak.
"Everything was going well for me," Naiditsch said. "In the 3+1 I had some nice positions but somehow it got shaky. I was wondering when it was going to end."
"Even players who are equal strength, you see these kinds of runs all the time," GM Ben Finegold said on the live commentary on Chess.com/tv. "That's just the way blitz chess goes."
Closing out the run was a topsy-turvy win for KingLoek in Game 13. van Wely stared down the prospect of 20...Qf5 by playing the counter-intuitive prophylactic move 20. Na4! He threatened Nb6 but also opened the third rank for his queen to assist in defense.
CaptainJames spent much of his remaining time drumming up more resources, and consequently was too low on time to see the mate beginning with 34...Qf2+. van Wely eventually won on time.
That was the only real crisis for Naiditsch, who went on to win the final two 3+1 games, then won the opening game of bullet (1+1) to open a lead he would never relinquish.
Naiditsch seemed resolved to not get behind on the clock in the 1+1. Employing that same resourcefulness he showed previously, CaptainJames netted a profit in the opening game of the final section. Though 30...c3 looks winning for Black, watch how craftily White scares up an attack:
After that, instant karma. Several technical difficulties arose after which Naiditsch graciously asked host IM Danny Rensch to remove two wins due to server malfunctions. He then proceeded to have two losses excised due to the same malfunctions, so all was even in the end (the two wins and losses were removed from the final tally). After the reset, the match continued without issue.
"We're like exterminators here," Rensch said. "We find bugs and we kill them."
The respite did nothing to reinvigorate van Wely, as Naiditsch rattled off 3.5/4 to clinch the belt mathematically. The chasing GM won 4.5 of the final six but ran out of time before having a chance to fully overcome the difference in score.
"A bad start is not lethal, but bullet is not my specialty," van Wely said after the match. "I will [now] finish a cup of poison."
Naiditsch was assisted by his opponent simply hanging mate in one twice. "Loek helped me with some big blunders," he said. "Thanks Loek!"
Tune in to the next Death Match. the 18th edition will take place on Saturday, October 5 at 12 p.m. Eastern, 9 a.m. Pacific, when GMs Nigel Short and Judit Polgar face off in the first man versus woman Death Match! As always, free live commentary to all members can be found at Chess.com/tv.
the video is pretty important for those of us looking to watch it even after its over
@Mike -- Just for the record, I was not at all confused about the viewers' board (operated by Danny) and the players' boards (on their own computers) being quite separate. However, I don't consider our minds to be seperate in the same way. How could they be?
Anyway, what got me pissed off was always, or mostly, seeing the board on my computer (the public screen) from CaptainJames' POV, since I happened to be rooting for Loek and the mental gymnastics of compensating got tiring.
Please don't get me wrong: I have no beef whatsoever with Danny. I am really quite a big fan and he does a magnificent job, and actually you all do. But, the fact is, the board issue spoiled the match experience for me as a spectator. So.. it might not be such a bad idea to give it some thought for future matches. That's all.
get the AdBlock for google chrome, it is free.
It takes a few minutes to download.
@Yeshepalden - Danny's screen is not the same screen as the players see. He can put Black on bottom, even if, for example, White is on bottom on Loek's own computer. Remember also Danny was drawing lots of arrows, which obviously the players cannot see. So don't think of the two boards as being the same (players boards and commentary boards could have different perspectives).
So all the talk of who Danny put on bottom is just superstitious. Not to say there isn't a place for superstition in chess, but the players didn't even know what he was doing, since they had full control of their own screens :-)
@Danny -- I gave up watching at 1+1 because of technical problems so don't know how the board was being flipped in that part of the match. However, flipping the board towards the end of 5+1 did coincided with Loek's first win. Also, when you flipped the board back to Arkadij's perspective in 3+1, Loek started losing big time. I got an impression that board orientation was having an effect on the performance of the players.
Even though Korchnoi would agree with me , we do normally play from the side of our own color, so the combined analytical disposition of 800± viewers oriented in favor of one player rather than the other could conceivably influence the players' states of mind. It may be trivial, or it may not be trivial. Until we test it we don't know, so why not standardizing board orientation anyway?
@Mike -- My impression was that Danny controlled which player was on the bottom, either CaptainJames or KingLoek. Obviously, the players themselves can control the way they view their own board while they're playing, but are you saying that they can also control the way the viewers see the board, overriding or in collaboration with Danny?
I watched part of the recording last night. (Not there now) But the Livecast kept getting google adds poping up in front of the game which I had to click to get rid of. It was so annoying I stopped watching. Is there a different portal to get the old videos? The video section on the right of the chessTV screen is always blank now - so I use the LiveCast link at the op of the screen.
where is the video
@Yeshepalden -- Well, by the end I wasn't even announcing that I was switching and viewing from Loek's side, because he was losing anyway - SO not sure it really works in the long run...
Everyone who's looking for the video, it will be available in our video archives. Like most TV Shows moving forward, they will only be available for Premium Members.
Thanks all!
Interesting comments on the positioning of the board. I understand what you are saying, but keep in mind that the players can choose if they want White or Black on bottom, no matter how the commentators choose it.
Glad to see so much interest in watching the Death Match again! The recordings of the livestream broadcast will be available later next week in our daily videos. Please look for them then!
Yeah, if someone could provide a link for the recording, that would be great. I had to work as well and wasn't able to watch it.
did they already do a pogania vs nigel short before?
Yeah I'm looking for the video too. I watched the one in the videoarchive for about one hour last night, then suddenly the video wasn't available anymore. Something seems to have gone wrong. If one has a link to this match please post. I know my fellow countryman lost, still want to see how he managed to do that.
is there a recording that i could watch?
I missed the deathmatch, too bad. This one was a good one I imagine... I wanted to see it but I was working at the time... I hope they schedule the upcoming matches on saturday or sunday like they used to...
It was another fun few hrs of chess. Thanks to the players....so good!!!....and dan and ben. Really looking forward to the next....go Judit!
Also...further to yesjlhis astute comment...i propose white should be bottom for every game.
Interesting that KingLoek's fortunes dramatically changed when Danny flipped the board so we started seeing the game from KingLoek's side. I'm wondering if it was a coincidence that Loek's game picked up when 800 viewers plus Danny and Ben started looking at it from his perspective.
Then Danny switched the board back to CaptainJames' point of view in 3+1 portion and KingLeok's game began to falter leading to his eventual defeat.
Check it out, it could be worth looking into. If nothing else it offers the possibility of testing the power of collective consciousness - right up Danny's street (and mine), for sure!

BEMUS POINT - The 2014 SE93 Chautauqua Lake Voices has a champion, and her name is Ashley Reefer.
Reefer was named winner of the competition during the competition's sixth and final installment at the Bemus Point floating stage Monday after serious deliberation from the judging panel.
The competition finale featured its three remaining contestants, each of whom performed two songs throughout the night: one which was selected for them by the judges, and one of their own choosing. Reefer, who performed Jennifer Hudson's "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" and Mariah Carey's "Hero," said she was surprised by the outcome of the competition after the results had been read.

"It feels great (to win), and it's really unexpected," Reefer said. "I'm not from this area, so I'm really thankful that I was able to spend my summer here singing for everyone. Thank you for coming each week, and I hope to see you next year."
In addition to Reefer's performances, the finale also featured performances from the two other contestants rounding out the competition's top three finalists.
Dylan Carlson performed Phillip Phillips' "Gone, Gone, Gone" and Jessie J's "Who You Are" while Victoria McIlvain performed Whitney Houston's "And I Will Always Love You" and Josh Groban's "You Raise Me Up." The judging panel - consisting of Tim Edborg, Patricia Newman, Michelle Paterniti and Andrew Minton - was highly complimentary of each performer, and made it clear that its final decision to choose a winner would be a difficult task.
Monday's finale marked the conclusion of the 11th Chautauqua Lake Voices competition, which held its auditions in June at the Jamestown Gateway Train Station and officially commenced with a dozen hopeful contestants on July 14. It was a long journey from June auditions to Monday's final, but Reefer said it was undoubtedly worth the time she put forth in giving the competition her all.
"Dylan and Victoria deserve to win this as much as I do, but I've been really blessed to have this opportunity to sing this summer. So it feels great, and I'm so happy," she said.
Also receiving recognition for the countless hours spent rehearsing the dozens of songs that were performed throughout the six-week contest was the backing band, referred to as "John Cross and the Babalu Band." The musicians included: Steve Strickland on keyboards; Spencer Drake on bass; John Cross on saxophone, clarinet and keyboards; Jim Foti on drums and Jim Karapontso on guitar.

CAMDEN — Authorities have released surveillance images of a man they believe carjacked two elderly drivers this month and robbed them of hundreds of dollars.
The first carjacking occurred Nov. 14 around 8:40 a.m., in Pine Hill. Armed with a box cutter, the suspect approached a driver who was stopped at a traffic light on West Branch Avenue and Blackwood Road, investigators said.
The culprit reportedly entered the vehicle and forced the victim to drive him to North Camden to buy heroin. He also took the driver's cell phone and $400, authorities said.
Another driver - like the first, elderly - was carjacked Nov. 24, around 7 a.m. in Clementon. He'd stopped at a traffic light at Gibbsboro and Blackwood roads when the suspect - armed with a large knife - forced his way into the vehicle, investigators said.
He took $100 from the victim and forced him to drive to 8th and Erie streets in Camden, where he exited the vehicle, authorities reported.
They believe the same man committed both carjackings, they said, based on descriptions given by the victims and the nature of the crimes.
He is described as white, about 25 years old, unshaven and standing about five feet, seven inches tall.
He had brown hair grown to about midway down his neck. Anyone with information on the suspect's identity is asked to contact Pine Hill Detective John Field at 856-783-1581, extension 426 or Clementon Police Sgt. Bob Worrick at 856-783-2271.
Information can also be emailed to email@example.com.

You think you're so smart
Yes, you think you know it all
But the game you're trying to play
Can be played another way
And you see that, you never, never
Had it so good 'til you met me
I brought you to the city
Now you tell me there's no room for pity
My friends tried to tell me so
I told them they didn't know
That lights have gone to your head
You never, never had it so good
'Til you met, until you met me
Oh, until you met me
No, you never, you never
You never had it so good

OMG this makes me sooooo excited! While all the tween and teen girls are dying over tonight's premiere of One Direction's new movie, me and all the woman my age are dying over the fact that N'Sync are going to be reunited on Sunday!! It's enough to almost make me squee!
Page Six reports that during this Sunday's MTV VMA's awards where Justin Timberlake will be honored with the Video Vanguard Award, he'll also be joined on stage for a special performance by his N'Sync band mates!
"Justin Timberlake and his former *NSYNC band members are set to reunite for a special performance on the VMAs Sunday night at the Barclays Center, sources tell Page Six. MTV announced that Timberlake, who topped the charts in the late '90s with the band, will perform at the VMAs and receive the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. But we're told former bandmates J.C. Chasez, Lance Bass,Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick are scheduled to join him onstage for a reunion performance. On Friday night, the *NSYNC crew were all spotted in the singer's VIP section at his concert with Jay Z at the Sun Life Stadium in Miami, joining Jessica Biel and Timberlake's mother, Lynn Harless."
I am so looking forward to watching the VMA's on Sunday, and not just because of Justin and N'Sync, but because Robin Thicke and Miley Cyrus will also be performing. This is shaping up to be an amazing show. Will you tune in for the big N'Sync reunion or do you think we'll be disappointed?

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- A man was arrested Sunday on manslaughter charges after a child was killed while riding his bike, according to the Alabama State Troopers office in Huntsville.
Matthew John Dahl, 6, was riding his bicycle on Kinsale Drive in Harvest around 8 p.m. when he was hit by a passing car. The driver left the scene of the accident without stopping, troopers said. Dahl was flown by MedFlight to Huntsville Hospital where he later died from his injuries.
Sunday, police arrested 19-year-old Kyle David Morgan at his home. Morgan was charged with manslaughter and leaving the scene of an accident, a felony charge. No additional details were immediately available.
Visitation for Dahl will be Wednesday from 6-8 p.m. at Berryhill Funeral Home. A memorial fund has been established at Legacy Elementary School where Dahl recently graduated from kindergarten.

Among the big hitters: Roger Waters' "epic two-set performance"; motivational words from actor Sean Penn; and how Prince declared: "This is Prince's house!"
It's a good teaser for those who are planning to head to Michigan's massive music festival (say that three times fast) -- Rothbury, July 3-6.
Roger Waters plays 'Dark Side,' unleashes giant pig
The 64-year-old Waters, the third headliner of the three-day music festival following Prince and Jack Johnson, performed an elaborate, almost retrospective concert Sunday featuring music from throughout Pink Floyd's catalog.
Old photographs of the band often flashed across the screen behind Waters and his current band, which played songs from 'The Wall,' 'Wish You Were Here' and 'Animals,' among other Floyd albums. They also played 'Dark Side' in its entirety, culminating with the album's iconic triangle prism rising above the stage.
The pig, which was led above the crowd from lines held on the ground, displayed the words 'Don't be led to the slaughter' and a cartoon of Uncle Sam wielding two bloody cleavers. The other side read 'Fear builds walls.'"
The underside of the pig simply read "Obama" with a checked ballot box alongside.
-- Jake Coyle, Associated Press
Sean Penn encourages young people to get involved
The Oscar-winning actor, a late addition to the music festival, joking referred to his out-of-place billing among the 125-plus performers.
Wearing a T-shirt and jeans and smoking a cigarette while he sat on a stool, Penn said he unfortunately couldn't perform his 'a cappella Celine Dion cover act' since he had 'compromised his upper register.'
Instead, Penn urged festival-goers to join him on his 'Dirty Hands Caravan,' a biodiesel cross-country bus trip he plans to launch Monday, arriving in New Orleans on May 4. The purpose of the trip, which he hopes 300 will join, is to encourage young people to be more politically and environmentally involved.
'The government can't do it,' Penn said. 'They can't save this thing.'"
-- Jake Coyle, Associated Press
Prince makes Coachella 'his house'
But there was one who rose above all others.
Prince, in his Saturday evening headlining performance, firmly established himself in Coachella lore among famous concerts from years past, including the Pixies and Rage Against the Machine. Prince, for certain, didn't plan to share the mantle.
'From now on, this is Prince's house!' he declared at the end of his set, which went well beyond midnight.
Few seemed inclined to argue after Prince put on a funky, rollicking show that featured passionate performances of classics like 'Let's Go Crazy' and 'Purple Rain,' as well as unexpected and creative covers of Radiohead ("Creep") and the Beatles ('Come Together')."
-- Jake Coyle, Associated Press
|5. Prince: For a fund raiser, I once tried singing "Purple Rain" with reworked lyrics that applied to the cause. It did not go well. This show would've wash that taste from my mouth.
4. Kid Sister: She's the sister of Josh Young who is half of Chicago's Flosstradamus with Richland native Curt Cameruci. The duo will be at Rothbury. Anyway, I loved her video of "Pro Nails" with Kanye West.
3. M.I.A.: She is a bad azz in the audio version -- live is a must. I'd be among the first to play "air shotgun" during "Paper Planes."
2. DeVotchKa: One of the biggest misses of my life was failing to see DeVotchKa in Kalamazoo (Kraftbrau Brewery, June, 2006) just before the "Little Miss Sunshine" soundtrack success and the band's immense talent helped it take off. DeVotchKa will have a live performance on NPR's "All Songs Considered" on May 16 and will appear on Conan O'Brien on May 19.
1. My Morning Jacket: I listen to "Z" on a weekly basis. Jim James is a master. This show would've temporarily eased my longing for "Evil Urges," due out June 10. Plus, M. Ward dropped by. Seriously?

Alternative Testing Defined
The term "Alternative Testing" means that you have an accommodation for tests (including, but not limited to: extra time, tests read out loud, someone to write your answers, the use of assistive technology, etc.) and you need to take tests outside of the classroom. If Alternative Testing is part of your Student Accommodation Plan, then you will need to follow this procedure every semester:
- Meet with a Disability Staff member to discuss your academic accommodations and instructor notification. This meeting should take place prior to the start of every semester. To make an appointment with Tomma Lee, Kym or Lori, call 610-607-6245 or go to Berks Hall, room 209.
- You will receive a copy of your Accommodation Memos for each class. Your instructors will receive a copy of the same Accommodation Memos in an email from a Disability Services staff member.
- Consider taking your copy of the Accommodation Memos with you to class and discussing your needs with each instructor. You can do this after class or during the instructor's office hours. This may help the instructor to understand your needs.
- As soon as you know you are having a test, either go to Berks Hall, room 209, or call 610.607.6245 to schedule an appointment to take the test. Schedule your test for the same day and time the test is being given in class. Staff members will discuss exceptions to this policy. To access alternative testing with Disability Services, it is strongly suggested that you make an appointment and arrive on time.
- Remind your instructor to send your tests to Berks Hall, room 209.
- Report to Berks Hall, room 209, on the day of your appointment and be prepared to take your test. Bring pens, pencils, or other materials you are allowed to use.
- If you miss a test, you are required to contact your instructor to see if/when you may be allowed to make up the test.
Disability Services Testing Center Rules
- Place all personal items outside of testing room.
- No cell phones are allowed. Turn phones off (not just on vibrate) and put them in a safe place outside the testing room.
- No electronic devices, including, but not limited to, MP3 players, digital cameras, PDAs, pagers, calculator watches, watches with alarms, etc. are allowed.
- Calculators may or may not be permitted. This decision is up to individual instructors.
- No handwritten or printed materials are permitted unless clearly stated by your instructor that these are allowed.
- No packages, totes, backpacks, purses, briefcases, etc. are allowed.
- No food or drink unless specifically allowed by Disability Services staff.
- No visitors, including relatives, children or friends may come into the testing room.
- Once you begin a test, you may not leave the testing room under any circumstances prior to completion of the test.
- Talking is not permitted in the testing room.
- Students taking the same test may not sit near each other in the testing room.
- When you finish a test, return it to a secretary or Disability Services staff member.
- Bring your own pencil/pen.
- Throw away any unused scrap paper and clean up your area before you leave the testing room.
- Staff members are not responsible for items lost or stolen during testing.
Breaking any of these rules compromises the integrity of the test. Your test will be taken and your instructor will be contacted. The instructor will then address the behavior as an infringement of the academic honesty policy. See the Student Handbook for more details on this policy.

Editor, OBSERVER:
What a wonderful day
The Lord has made.
We should be glad,
And rejoice in it.
One day I looked out the door
When what did I see?
But 12 deer on my lawn,
Some looking straight at me.
Today I sat outside,
And down below on the lawn,
I saw a cardinal,
Flying around the trees.
The trees are all green,
Just as He promised they would be.
He knows just when.
It is He, that we can depend.
How great is the Lord,
Giving gifts every day
His bountiful gifts are everywhere,
On the earth, the sky and in the air.

If you're thinking of going to maccosmetics.com, they had this up before Tuesday, and most is already sold out.
If you want something, I would pick it up asap. My MAC store here in New Orleans had already sold out of 2 of the lipsticks when I got there a half hour after they opened (thankfully not Scarlet Ibis which is the one I wanted :D).
Wow half an hour? Looks like I just got mine in time from the Metairie store.
I need two or three of those lipsticks, it's bad. And I'm out of money. And I know it's no real need, but still.
I might buy the beautypowder. Since I don;t have a highlighter.
Thanks for this! I got the Robins Blue e/s from the MAC Website to add to my teal e/s collection and if you use "iris" as the promo code, you get free shipping 🙂
I got to my Mac store at 20 minutes after opening and most of the lipsticks except for Morange were sold out. I got the last Flamingo! I brought it home and compared it to Ever Hip. To me it is pretty much the same. Flamingo was sheerer to me since it is a lustre finish and it pulls a tad bit more pinker. On my lips it looks the same though so I could have indeed passed on this color. I like bright, fun, and girly colors so I think this collection is awesome.
Yeah, I'm in Canada and 2 of the lipsticks were already sold out online before the collection was actually launched in stores. It launched today (Thurs) and I picked Flamingo up straight away.
Beautiful collection! I really love the lipsticks and nail polishes. Also, I'm going to Mac soon and hoping to get 2 lipsticks (one with my money, one from Back to Mac) and I can't decide whether to get Party Parrot, Pink Pigeon (I'd like to get one that's limited edition), Creme in My Coffee, Crosswires, or Please Me. I'm NC20, if that helps. Thanks 🙂
Is Pink Pigeon's color close to that of MAC's Gladiola? Lovely swatches! Thank you 🙂

My sister and I stopped here for lunch at the weekend and I chose it simply because it had a spare table outside. I'm so glad we did choose it because the food was delicious. So full of flavour.
The 2 course lunch menu is worth every penny. My sister had a spicy kofte filled with cheese and I had the chicken with pitta and salad. To start we shared the most amazing dip with chunks of bread.
The staff are friendly and it's got a good vibe about it. I think being seated indoors might be a bit cramped though... all part of the bijoux charm I suppose.

LANSING -- In the wake of a proposal from a Senate Republican to dock pay of lawmakers when a budget isn't submitted by July 1, House Democrats are suggesting the governor and lieutenant governor should be included as well.
"I've said all along that we need to change the way things work in Lansing so that our residents get the state government they deserve," said state Rep. Brandon Dillon, D-Grand Rapids, a co-sponsor of the measure and a former Senate staffer.
The proposal would require approval of two-thirds of the members in both the House and the Senate and then a voter-approved constitutional change. It is similar to a bill introduced in the Senate last week by Dave Hildenbrand, R-Lowell.
The push to provide incentives for lawmakers to agree on spending by July 1 is borne, in part, of frustrations over an ugly 2007 government shutdown and another brief stall in 2009. Uncertainty about the state's budget creates tremendous difficulties for agencies trying to plan their staffing and spending allowances, especially for school districts.
"In recent years, lawmakers have used the state budget as a bargaining tool and played politics with Michigan's future and taxpayer dollars while our families were the ones who paid the price. This plan will make it crystal clear to our elected officials that those games are unacceptable and have no place in the Capitol," Dillon said.
Hildenbrand said he's open to discussions about including the governor and lieutenant governor but doesn't think it is necessary. "The real problem over the years has been getting the bills agreed to and passed out of the Legislature," he said.
Under the proposals, legislators would lose a day's pay for every day that the budget is not presented to the Governor after July 1. The governor and lieutenant governor would only lose pay if budget bills first passed in both chambers.

The Eastern Kings Chamber of Commerce has proposed moving its office from New Minas into the former train station in downtown Kentville.
By Jennifer Hoegg
There could be another location change for KentvilleŌĆÖs visitor information centre.
In 2010, the town left its Park Street location for a downtown spot shared with the county and Destination South West Nova Association. The experiment came to an end last fall.
Eastern Kings Chamber of Commerce president Andy Woolaver proposed a new plan to the townŌĆÖs council advisory committee Jan. 9. The chamber would like to relocate its New Minas office to the former train station in downtown Kentville and provide tourist bureau services to the town.
He pitched the idea as a win-win for Kentville, because it would fill the vacant space previously rented by Kings Transit, with an attractive welcome centre with full-time, informed staff. It would also bring the office of growing chamber into the downtown.
Woolaver said the chamber would provide furnishings, technology and staff to run the centre year-round.
What does the chamber want in return? Free rent, leasehold improvements, repairs, maintenance, utilities, taxes and insurance, parking spots and the current Kings Transit bus stop moved.
Insight on the plan came from the chambers tourism committee, he said.
The proposal is for a regional VIC in Kentville, like the Cornwallis and Main Street location was, and Woolaver will be asking the county for a contribution.
ŌĆ£We want the County of Kings to pitch in $14,500, which is what they put in in 2010, to help fund additional staff hours to ensure centre is operational at appropriate times,ŌĆØ he said.
The financial goal is to break even, he clarified, and the operational one is to be open this May.
Deputy Mayor Mark Pearl pointed to statistics showing visits to tourist bureaus have declined.
ŌĆ£We have toyed with the idea is there a better idea to get our message out.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£There will be a certain segment of the population who will always want tourist bureaus,ŌĆØ Woolaver said, but added the ŌĆ£bricks and mortarŌĆØ bureaus may not last forever.
Pearl also said the former train station has been a source of revenue for the town, so a rent-free use would have to be considered carefully.
The project was referred to staff for study and will be discussed at the Feb. 13 council advisory committee meeting.
