"I have been traveling to Florida now for many years for my vacation from England and since I have been fishing with Capt Russ Glenn, I have found this to be a great experience to be had and I would recommend him to anyone who fancies doing something away from the tourist thing. The first time I went on the water with Russ I was a little nervous as I had not fished before but Russ made me feel comfortable and showed me the ropes from casting to reeling them in and my confidence grew with each cast. I always enjoy fishing with Russ and I always make sure I book a slot with him within my first couple of days in Florida. A lot of good times had and many more to come with a great friend and a great Captain"
"I was fortunate enough to have Russ take me and my kids out on a days charter and wanted to share with everyone the great time we had,Russ really knows his stuff out on the water and take it from someone that is not a very good fisherman if he can get me hooked on some good fish he can get anyone hooked.my kids also had a great time and are begging me to go again. I would tell anyone that is looking for a charter to give him a call, you will love it."

Sport Court Texas is the official Sport Court game court builder of Texas. We have installed gymnasium and gym flooring across Texas, from school gyms, home gyms and recreation centers, we are the perfect choice for your gymnasium and gym flooring project.
Our gym flooring surface provides an excellent surface as an alternative to traditional wood floors. You won't need to worry about re-surfacing a wood floor every year with our application.
Currently, Sport court of Texas serves families and large facilities, installing gym flooring in gymnasiums in Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio, Texas and their surrounding areas.
Our new Maple Select modular flooring is really taking off. More and more facilities are not enjoying the safety and performance of Sport Court but with the real look of a strip maple floor. Below is a photo of a strip maple wood floor next to Sport Court Maple Select. Can you tell which one is real wood and which one is Sport Court?
Even better is that Sport Court Maple Select comes with a "factory applied" 4-coat polyurethane wear layer that is tougher and stronger than the finishes on a real wood floor. So life-cycle costs are much less than a traditional wood floor and installation only takes a few days. Add to this the fact that moisture introduced to the gym will not warp Sport Court and you have a safe, longer lasting, and risk-free performance surface.
View our Gym flooring photo gallery.
Modular Flooring
Sport Court of Texas' indoor modular flooring systems deliver excellent traction and shock absorption for a wide variety of activities including, volleyball, basketball, dance, soccer/futsal, high school events, middle school events, and elementary school events in gymnasiums and multi-purpose rooms.
Modular flooring can typically be installed in two to three days, making it an excellent choice to retrofit over any hard flat surface, requiring less maintenance and repair than most other indoor surfaces.
Contact us today for a friendly consultation or on-site estimate.

The longest, most difficult project I've tackled so far is the master bathroom vanity top. The vanity cabinet is an odd size, so I could not order a pre-made cabinet top. My options were few and quite expensive….that is until I remembered a friend's DIY vanity top makeover. Mine was slightly different but more complex, but I modeled it after their vanity remodel. The original master bathroom was iconic 1970s. The bathtub/shower had been remodeled previously with gray/white marble tile (which I loved!). So I decided to model the entire bathroom after that tub.
After removing the ugly marble countertop, the new countertop was started. It was quite the process (another post), but I'm quite happy with the result. A little bit of paint and a new DIY countertop and the bathroom looks totally different!
There are still some details to finish up, but it's pretty much done! This project was started months ago, and I worked on it in my spare time.

The Service Catalog is an engine that allows you to automate your requests, tasks, approvals and business processes. Utilizing the catalog effectively can save your team time spent tracking down details and requesting information in an easy to enter form. The catalog can be used for a wide range of services from typical IT use cases like hardware procurement to onboarding processes for HR.
Despite being extremely powerful, it is incredibly easy to get started and quickly see benefits. When creating a service catalog item there are three areas to set -- Catalog Details, Variables and Process. In this example, we'll take a look at a simplified onboarding catalog request.
Catalog Details
The first area to consider when creating your service catalog item is the details. This is the section in which you set the name, category, description, and include any relevant images or costs for the request (usually for product requests).
The variables created becomes the form that an end-user will fill out in order to start the request. The form you create can contain many different data types from text to dates to attachments. Collecting the correct information up front allows your team to work on tickets rather than wait for information. The variables can be marked 'required'. This will force the requester to provide all required information when requesting.
Here are the Variable Types you can choose from:
- Free Text - Free area to add text
- Drop down menu - Menu of options, choose one option
- Multi-picklist: Ability to select all options that apply
- Check box - Menu of options, can choose multiple options
- Date - Add date
- Attachment - Choose this to attach a document
- User - Drop down list of your Samanage Users
The process section allows you to build out a workflow, delegate tasks and automate approvals. This section works by arranging your business process into an organized set of tasks. Each task will generate an email alerting an individual or group of users that their assistance is needed to complete a request. The request will begin with the first task and progresses sequentially until all tasks are completed. Tasks inside of a specific group can run sequentially or concurrently.
Approvals are tasks that allow you to request approvals and build your process out based on that approval. In this example, if the request is approved, then the request proceeds to the group.
Concurrent tasks are tasks that run at the same time.
By default, all tasks are sequential unless you mark them concurrent. You can only make them concurrent if they're in a group.
This simple example begins with an approval. Groups of tasks can be run sequentially, or concurrently. Once all tasks in the group are completed, the process continues to the next task. It may be useful to assign tasks to members outside of IT such as requesting documents from HR or assigning Facilities a job to complete.
Condition Sets can be included in your workflows to run a task or approval only if certain options are selected in the request. Using custom variables to capture information from your requester, you can then only run a task or approval if the conditions are met - If This Then That. In this example, If Salesforce is chosen as a required application for the new hire, only then is a task created for setup of a new Salesforce account. If salesforce isn't chosen, no task is needed.
Applications Integration will allow you to add an integration with 3rd party applications through automation. For more information on this, check out this tutorial.
When all tasks have been completed then the request will automatically resolve itself. If the manager approval is rejected then the whole ticket could be aborted. Incoming service catalog requests are managed alongside incidents under the main queue in your service desk. They are differentiated in the queue by a booklet, see example below. A separate queue for service requests can also be created by adding a filter for "Originated from Service Catalog".

My late night rambles
It's now 4:03 am and here I sit, exhausted, but can't sleep. I often wonder what it would be like to be able to a good nights sleep. At least 8 hours, able to lay down and sleep like my better half, at 9 or 10 at night. But still, sleep eludes me. I know that, as a mother, this is a commonality, and for those even who aren't mothers yet. I know that my depression and anxiety makes me this way, but I am helpless to overcome this last obstacle. I guess for me, I am just doomed to live my life, exhausted and alone most nights. Yes, I know.. I just said alone. I sit, night after night, in a house full of my family and yet still somehow feel so alone. My husband is within an arms reach away, the 2 of us separated only by our 2 year old sleeping peacefully.
I should take solace in the fact that my children are able to sleep peacefully, quite soundly, actually. Yes, they are just like their father. Which brings me to my next point. How many of you have a very "noisy" partner? I swear mine could raise the roof… and yes, our children are following in his footsteps. They are all very noisy sleepers. Another reason why I very well may have problems sleeping. And yet, it's comforting. Comforting to know that even though I can't sleep, my loved ones are.. and they are very close to me.
So to pass the time this morning, I am watching one of my all time favorites, an oldie but a goodie. It makes it easier to bear, when I can sit here and watch John Travolta, in his younger years of course! At least when I finally am able to dose off, I will have sweet dreams. Wonderful dreams of dancing with my husband oh so many years ago, like we did before we had kids and actually had time and the money to go dancing. Ah yes, the movie you ask? Why, Urban Cowboy, of course! Compliments of my subscription service. So, while we're here, why don't you drop me a line and let me know what YOUR favorite movie is!

Charlie Gates
Tree Houses for Swamp Dwellers, corner of Gloucester St & Colombo St
Friday 24 October. Tour at 7.30pm, screening starts at 8.30pm
Approximately 20 people wrapped up warm on Friday 24 October to celebrate Christchurch's cinematic heritage with the Picture Palace Parade tour. More joined in later for the outdoor cinema screening.
Firstly, Charlie Gates, cinephile and senior Press reporter, led a group on an immersive tour of the old cinema sites of Cathedral Square – a walk through history.
This was followed by an outdoor screening of Heavenly Creatures – a great New Zealand film made in Christchurch. The public came along with their chairs, blankets, cushions and picnics for an evening of cinema beneath the stars, right in the heart of our city.
The project recreated scenes from a past era when the square was nightly filled by cinema-goers and was a successful, buzzing urban space. Picture Palace Parade bridged the past and the future!
Thank you to SCAPE and to Blue Pearl Gallery for giving us access to the site and a building to use as a screen! Thank you to Wingnut Productions and the New Zealand Film Commission for permission to screen the film.

Casino owners look to hire locally first
Gaming site has 1,200 positions; job fair Saturday starts process
The owners of a new casino complex planned for Schenectady will need 1,200 workers, and will try to hire local residents first, its manager said Friday.
The new jobs are still months away, but Mary Cheeks, general manager of the planned Rivers Casino, said the company, while not bound under a state agreement to focus its hiring locally, still intends to do so.
She said casino owner Rush Street Gaming also intends to have employee training schools, like it did when it opened a casino in Pittsburgh, to instruct new dealers, slot machine technicians and other workers.
In Pittsburgh, 300 card dealers were trained and ready to work by the time the casino opened in 2010. Before the casino opened, 30,000 people applied for 1,000 jobs.
In the Capital Region, casino worker training will be run by both Rush Street and one of its partners, Schenectady County Community College, Cheeks said. The clock on hiring will start when the company obtains its state gaming license, she added.
It should take 18 months from the license issuance for the casino to open, Cheeks said. "We will be staggering our hiring, starting nine months out from opening, for our key leaders, and then six months out with our trainers, and finally three months out for our core team to operate the casino."
On Saturday, casino owners will hold a "job opportunity fair" from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at SCCC. Sessions will begin at 8 a.m., 10 a.m., noon and 2 p.m. No advance registration is required.
Under a requirement by New York state for all potential casino operators, Rush Street Gaming has an agreement not to interfere with worker unionization efforts, a so-called "labor peace agreement." The Schenectady casino has such an agreement with the New York City-based New York Hotel and Motel Trades Council, which represents about 32,000 hospitality workers statewide.
Cheeks said the union is not involved in any of the pre-hiring process. A call to the council was not returned.
Among the organizations the casino operators are working with are Northeast Career Planning, Trinity Alliance, and Social Enterprise and Training Center of the Northeast Parent & Child Society.
Rivers Casino in Schenectady is Rush Street Gaming's fourth U.S. gaming facility. It also operates Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh, SugarHouse Casino in Philadelphia and Rivers Casino in Des Plaines, Ill., near Chicago.
In Schenectady, the company plans a $300 million gaming facility with a 50,000-square-foot gaming floor, 1,150 slot machines, 62 gaming tables and 15 poker tables. A steakhouse, a marketplace with multiple restaurants, an entertainment lounge, a banquet facility and a spa will also be a part of the project, along with a 150-room hotel.

I have a dream job. I'm the press secretary at NASA, where we have a very concise mission – we reach for new heights and reveal the unknown so that what we do and learn will benefit all humankind.
Doing press for one of the most internationally – perhaps intergalactically – well-known brand institutions isn't without its challenges.
Media convergence and newsroom staff reductions mean fewer reporters cover space, and media consumers can select more niche outlets to get their news.
When the going gets tough, the tough get innovative. Or as Hank Green puts it, increase the awesome. And that's exactly what the NASA Newsroom team has done.
I could list dozens of examples here, but it turns out space is finite in some circumstances. Instead, allow me to focus on how NASA's social media outreach is a key way the agency is reaching the public. Over 8 million people follow @NASA on twitter (and that's just the flagship account – we have hundreds of accounts for our missions, programs and even astronauts tweeting from Earth and space).
Direct engagement with followers is essential. NASA Socials bring together NASA followers from all walks of life (and platforms) for once-in-a-lifetime experiences to view launches, see NASA missions in the development phases and interact directly with NASA experts. NASA allows its followers to come, see our work, and let individuals "report" back to their followers using Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, personal blogs, and more. We allow our followers to see what we're doing for themselves, and report out in their own words and own media. NASA has proven that this type of behind-the-scenes access is an awesome way to connect with fans, future fans, the critics and the uninformed.
But you don't have to take my word for it. In May, J.D. Power gave NASA top marks for servicing and marketing engagement in its 2014 Social Media Benchmark Study, saying, "Among the government agencies included in the study, only the National Aeronautics and Space Administration performs particularly well in both types of social interactions." NASA earned back-to-back Shorty Awards for use of social media.
So what can Earth-bound brands learn from the NASA experience?
Take risks. Allowing social media followers to tweet about their experiences – good and bad- at your facilities could be risky, but one worth taking when they better understand what you do, and share that story with their local communities.
Be personal. By allowing employees to tweet about their daily lives at NASA, we demonstrate that NASA isn't a monolithic, government bureaucracy, but truly is a vibrant organizations staffed by deeply committed individuals who are leading NASA's exploration efforts.
Have fun. From Astronaut Chris Cassidy posting video of shaving his head in space, to allowing a group of interns do a Gangnam Style parody (that actually did a great job of explaining what NASA is working on), seizing on social trends to tell your story can be effective.
Four Awesome Ways to Connect with NASA
Earth is changing, and NASA's Earth observation missions are helping us better understand the impacts of climate change and extreme weather events. The Images of Change app delivers incredible images of our changing Earth.
Go interplanetary with your weather report with the Curiosity Rover's Environmental Monitoring Station.
Follow what the crew on board the International Space Station are doing at this very minute with http://spacestationlive.nasa.gov/timeline/.
See space for yourself. NASA's High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV) experiment aboard the International Space Station allows you to see what's happening in space at this very moment. You can even access this from your phone! Living in the future is rad!

Reading Tuesday's long article to the bitter end, I learned that someone stole a $68 jacket and someone chased them to get it back, and one of the girls involved had the ethics to admit that is what happened. Why did you bury the truth — the real story — and instead make the headline and first several paragraphs about the Portofino manager being sued by one of the other girls' mother?
Still, thank you for running several sensational articles with baseless, racially charged accusations on this silly non-story. You incited over 100 people to march through downtown who now look like fools, needlessly turned two teenage girls into public liars and impugned the reputations of a man and a restaurant.
Please continue to "report" on this and the other vital stories of our post-truth, Trumpian age.

A student's knowledge and understanding of some subject cannot be measured through exams only. In order to get more insight into students' level of knowledge, academic writing skills, language and vocabulary skills, the ability to develop an argument, professors, and teachers rely on essays. The essay doesn't just show the way you developed an argument, it enhances problem-solving and critical thinking abilities. Everybody needs help with essays from time to time, regardless of your grades. Below, you'll find out everything you need about essay help resources.
Essay help involves assistance with different stages of essay writing. This type of paper is a good method to embed all the facts and figures about different topics and, thus, gain more knowledge. Essay writing stimulates the cognitive functions and increases intellectual development. It also proves to be a great practice for the final examination and promotes skills that a student can use to find a job and achieve career goals after the education stage is over. Let's not forget that essay writing play a big part in the academic score.
Due to all things mentioned above, it's easy to conclude that essay is more important that we think. Writing a great essay isn't the most difficult task, but it's not that simple either. Essays require patience, dedication, and thorough research. This isn't a type of task that one can complete in an hour, it requires more time. When you're a student, you don't need too much time to dedicate to one assignment only. This is where Essay Help steps in; it provides essay writing, editing, proofreading, and tutoring services.
Essay Help scope extends to providing a multifaceted approach toward better essay writing, but it can also serve as assistance with some particular essay stage or problem. In other words, Essay Help is highly customizable; a client is the one who determines what kind of services he/she wants. This helps students get much-needed help for the best grades, and they improve their own writing skills at the same time.
The Essay Help's domain is to provide guidance and prevent common pitfalls, but it doesn't pressure you into leaving personal information, the essay you upload, or anything that jeopardizes your privacy.
The term Essay Help probably associates you with a writing service only, but it's more than that. Students, regardless of their school or current level of education, can benefit from the Essay Help in many ways. You are in control of the assistance you want and there are plenty of options to choose from. We can categorize Essay Help based on the communication mode, pay, essay type, level of education, and topic. Below, you can see the basic rundown of each type.
In terms of the manner of communication, we can divide the Essay Help into categories such as interactive and non-interactive. Each of these types also has sub-categories. When it comes to actual websites, StudyFAQ.com is the platform where both types of interaction are available.
The interactive communication mode refers to different manners or interacting with tutors and other users on the platform. The interaction can be live or non-live.
This feature involves:
Live tutoring – instant help for all questions ranging from writing struggles you may have to getting assistance with the topic. It's enough to enter your email address, submit your question, select the subject, number of sessions, and briefly explain your needs. Once you click the Get support now button you'll start receiving quotes from tutors. A client is the one who chooses the tutor i.e. accepts their bids and the learning process starts. The platform has more than 1000 tutors specializing in different stages and it is available for students of all levels.
Questions & answers – besides learning experience with a tutor, users can also use this practical feature. Questions and answers section works like a forum, a place where you can ask anything you want and get answers immediately. Before you post a question, scroll down to see whether someone already asked something similar. The StudyFAQ has a database of almost 5k questions posted by students
Live chat – customer service is available 24/7 and ensures you get much-needed assistance immediately
Online classroom – StudyFAQ allows students to choose their tutors, as mentioned above, but one of the most useful features is the ability to pay per lesson if you enroll in the paid program
The non-live aspect of interactive communication features the tutoring dashboard on the above-mentioned StudyFAQ website. Before you go on and post a question or hire a tutor, use the available resources regarding writing and homework help to get all the answers you need. You can also use these resources to improve your writing skills and get inspired to start working on your essay
The non-interactive mode focuses on the use of writers, editors, and proofreaders for assistance with essay writing process.
Essay Writers – educated, skilled, knowledgeable, and talented writers can write the whole essay from scratch or help with a specific stage, it's the client's choice. You, as a student and client, are in control of the process, deadline, and everything else that writing entails. Essay Writers are available at Edusson where 1000+ experts, native English speakers, are ready to help. All writers have gone through strict testing stages before they started working on the platform
Essay Editors and Proofreaders – look for spelling and grammar mistakes, sentence structures, word choices, references and citations, an organization of the essay, and many other parameters to ensure your paper is 100% error-free. Thanks to highly professional proofreading and editing, the essay is easy to read and understand, which is important for the grade. In terms of editing, you have the opportunity to use Edusson's services directly or the Magic Help feature. Let's not forget you can get a thorough analysis of the paper on RobotDon website which also evaluates the essay for plagiarism, grades it, and provides useful tips and tricks help you make it better
Essay Help provides different services and levels of assistance that enhance user experience. Students choose the ideal help option based on their needs and preferences. Besides the communication mode, Essay Help services differ by pay and they fall in either free or paid category.
Free – you can get assistance with your essay without spending a fortune, although it seems impossible. A vast majority of services that provide assistance with essays are way too limited and expensive to be taken seriously or used for better grades. When it comes to free essay help, several options are available, such as:
Paid – while many Essay Help services have a "free" option, more advanced assistance is paid. Don't worry; prices are affordable and we can easily say the best on the market. The most prominent "paid" service is Edusson, where a student can hire one out of more than 1000 writers to compose an essay based on the provided information.
Edusson also provides editing and proofreading assistance. The price won't come as a shock because the website features a calculator where you can see how much you'd have to pay per assignment based on topic, deadline, and page count. Besides Edusson, RobotDon and StudyFAQ also have a paid feature, more advanced help whenever you need to take your writing to a whole new level.
We can divide Essay Type services according to the type of paper you need. Each of the essay categories listed below is written by writers who specialize in writing this particular paper. This only ensures the efficacy and quality of the essay you receive. Your essay helper will thoroughly research and write the paper from scratch. Let's take a look at all the categories:
Essays and other written assignments are assigned to students throughout their academic life. That's why we can divide essay help to different types according to the level of education. Let's take a look at the basic rundown:
Essay help can involve a wide array of services, it doesn't revolve around writing only. For example, you can hire a writer to write a whole essay or help you with one specific area that you find frustrating. You can also get help from professional editors and writers or use self-help resources for many other processes too. For example:
As seen throughout this post, Essay Help can help you in many ways. Improve your paper. Raise your grades! And avoid stress! It's easy when you know where to seek assistance. Here are many jobs that these services can do.
Raise your GPA (grade) – essays play a significant part in your GPA. In fact, improving the quality of your paper is the easiest way to boost your grades and make it easier for yourself to get into any program you want

The only thing worse than acne is the scars it can leave behind. Having a potentially permanent effect on skin, long after the initial blemish has disappeared, acne scars prolong the physical and emotional impact of acne. The fact is, by mid-teens, more than 40 percent of adolescents have acne or acne scarring that requires treatment by a dermatologist1. If not treated properly, acne scars can be difficult to reverse.
To help prevent acne scarring, there are many easy to implement practices you may consider. This includes:
- Rinse and repeat: The best way to prevent acne scarring is to reduce the severity and frequency of your teen's breakouts. Making acne prevention a part of your teen's day-to-day routine is essential to help ward off future scarring. Beyond washing their face every morning and night, daily showers and routine hair washing can reduce the buildup of sweat and oils, which clog pores and lead to acne breakouts. If your teen plays sports at or after school or sweats excessively during the day, pack cleansing wipes in their backpack for a quick mid-day skin cleanse.
- Hands off policy: Picking, squeezing and popping can turn a minor breakout into a permanent acne scar. It's only natural for teenagers to focus on the short term elimination of their acne, but bursting a pimple can spread the inflammation and worsen the blemish. Remind your child that forcefully applying pressure to remove blackheads, pimples and whiteheads can extend the time needed to heal and create unwanted scarring down the road.
- Stay shaded: Exposure to UV rays can increase the appearance of acne and cause discoloration on scars due to an increase in pigmentation. Make sure your teenager is applying an SPF moisturizer or sunscreen to all exposed skin as a part of their morning routine.
Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist to learn more about your child's unique case.

Drury Appoints Dr. Steven Combs as Vice President for Academic Affairs
Drury University has appointed Dr. Steven C. Combs as Vice President for Academic Affairs. He began his duties in January.
Combs comes to Drury from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, a public comprehensive university, where he has spent the past year as founding dean of the College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences. Prior to that, Combs was at Hawaii Pacific University from 2006 to 2013, where he served as dean of the College of Communication and later, founding dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. While in that role, he oversaw a 20 percent enrollment increase from 2009 to 2011 in the wake of the Great Recession. He led efforts to revise the curriculum to emphasize program relevance and distinctiveness. Combs worked closely with faculty to help them achieve their goals as scholars, and he helped secure more than $2.7 million in grants-accounting for nearly 70 percent of HPU's externally funded projects.
Combs holds a Ph.D. in communication arts & sciences from the University of Southern California and a Master of Arts in communication studies from the University of Kansas. He succeeds longtime VPAA Dr. Charles Taylor, who will return to teaching communication and rhetoric full time in fall 2015 following a spring sabbatical. The VPAA position is the top academic post at the university.
Drury Forms Academic Partnership with Kansas City's Barstow School
Drury University and the Barstow School in Kansas City have formed a partnership that will bolster both schools' commitment to academic excellence and engaged global learning.
Barstow is an independent, co-educational college preparatory school in Kansas City. Founded in 1884, the school boasts a rich academic tradition, with a special commitment to international learning through affiliate schools in China, Japan, Germany and Australia.
The agreement will streamline admission of Barstow graduates into Drury University and create a collaborative learning partnership between the two schools. The partnership will meet the needs of a growing community of Barstow students across the globe who desire a first-rate American education, and it will deepen Drury's commitment to diversity and international enrollment.
Major points of the partnership include:
- A new merit-based scholarship as well as guaranteed admission to Drury for domestic and international Barstow students who meet certain criteria.
- Drury faculty will travel to Barstow's Shanghai and Ningbo campuses in China to offer advanced instruction in subjects not often taught in China, such as creative writing.
- The schools will develop summer immersion experiences for international Barstow students on Drury's campus in Springfield. These residential experiences will include an introduction to the American system of higher education and the American experience.
Mark Fisher is Drury's New Director of Athletics
Drury University has selected Mark Fisher to become the director of athletics. Fisher will begin his duties on July 1. Fisher has been the director of athletics for Springfield Public Schools since 2003.
"We are delighted to bring Mark on board," says Drury President Dr. David Manuel. "I like both the leadership and management qualities he brings to the table. He has a breadth of experience dealing with a wide array of sports and administrations during his career. Mark has deep local and statewide connections at both the collegiate and high school levels, and a proven track record in fundraising and managing high-profile events."
Fisher's 12-year career with SPS includes success both on and off the field. In addition to overseeing all athletic activities for Missouri's largest public school district, he also spearheaded a $3.5 million campaign for stadium improvements and implemented systems to continually evaluate the progress of student athletes and coaches. Fisher is the director of the Bass Pro Tournament of Champions—one of the highest profile high school basketball tournaments in the nation. A former Missouri Basketball Coach of the Year, he has mentored 18 former players and assistant coaches to careers as head basketball coaches.
Drury Improves Kiplinger's Ranking
Kiplinger's Personal Finance has included Drury University on its list of the country's best values in private universities. Kiplinger's annual list ranks 100 private universities and 100 liberal arts colleges. This is the second year in a row Drury has made the list. It was ranked 41st among private universities, up from 70th last year.
Kiplinger's assesses quality according to measurable standards such as admission rate, percentage of students who return for sophomore year, student-faculty ratio and four-year graduation rate. Cost criteria include sticker prices, financial aid and average debt at graduation.
Paralegal Program Honored
The Open Education Database (OEDB) has ranked the Drury University College of Continuing Professional Studies' paralegal program second in its listing of the top online paralegal programs in the nation. The OEDB recognizes the top U.S. colleges that offer online learning for undergraduate degree programs in a variety of fields.
Drury's program, which offers an associate of science degree, provides a solid foundation in areas such as civil litigation, business law, real estate law, family law and more. The degree offers opportunities for career advancement in legal environments such as private law firms, corporate legal departments and governmental agencies.

Drury Enactus Helps Launch Inspired Boutique
The Drury Enactus team helped launch Inspired Boutique in November as part of its partnership with Art Inspired. Inspired Boutique will offer upscale retail items including clothing, shoes, purses, accessories and furniture. All proceeds from the boutique will help support Abilities First, which serves individuals with developmental disabilities.
In collaboration with Abilities First, the Drury Enactus team helped develop Art Inspired four years ago to provide meaningful employment opportunities to individuals with disabilities. Art Inspired is a gallery that also sells artwork made from recycled paper, stationery and furniture.
Drury Enactus team members have been involved with the selection, sorting and collection of donations to Inspired Boutique, as well as the marketing, event planning and volunteer coordination required to run the store.

A trip to the heart of intellectual property in the US
Lotfi Chouanine invited by the prestigious USPTO
May 2, 2017
For a professional who specializes in technology transfer, receiving an invitation from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is an unforgettable experience. Just ask Lotfi Chouanine, an ÉTS professor, who recently returned from a special training session dealing with technology transfer laws, policies and practices in the United States.
Regarded as one of the world's leading professionals in technology transfer, Lotfi Chouanine was the only Canadian among the 38 participants from 28 different countries selected by the USPTO. The training session was held on March 28 to 31, 2017 at the head office of the USPTO in Washington, DC.
During the four-day session, US experts in technology transfer from the scientific, legal and management sciences sectors presented the participants with a comprehensive look at the role of the US government in promoting the innovation and marketing of the results of university-based research, the legal framework governing technology transfer in the United States (Bayh-Dole Act), the management of intellectual property, the protection of inventions, the institutional policy respecting intellectual property, the structure of technology transfer offices in the United States and the support systems for innovation, including university-based accelerators, incubators and spin-offs.
The training session concluded with a visit to the University of Maryland's Technology Park (Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute [Mtech] and Maryland International Incubator) organized by the USPTO.
Mr. Chouanine received a Certificate of Recognition from the USPTO for his active participation in this program. "This certificate and the four days of stimulating training that I underwent at the USPTO, surrounded by international experts in managing innovation, represent an acknowledgement of my experience in technology transfer, not to mention visibility for ÉTS on a global scale", Mr. Chouanine stated.
ÉTS is delighted to acknowledge this unique professional event, and to congratulate Lotfi Chouanine for the path that he has chosen, which led to his inclusion among the leading professionals in the area of technology transfer in the world.
About professor Chouanine
Lotfi Chouanine earned a PhD in the Characterization of Nanomaterials from the University of Ibaraki in Japan in 1998 and an MBA in Science and Engineering Management from ÉSG-UQAM. He also holds a Certificate as a Registered Technology Transfer Professional. His career in Japan and Canada has focused on research, research administration and innovation management. He has worked at the NGK Insulators LTD Research Centre and the University of Akita in Japan, and at Aligo in Montréal.

Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Books I've Read So Far In 2013
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish to show off our book-related lists!
It's been a good year for books! I've read 33 so far this year and to be honest I've enjoyed pretty much all of them all in their own special way. I've narrowed it down to books that were published/are going to be published in 2013. Here are my favourite books so far this year:
Top Ten Books
I've Read So Far in 2013
Fab ending to a fab series (and made me weep like a baby at the end). Best love triangle ever.
Dark comedy at its finest. Loved the Savages and their not-so-traditional diet.
Truly exceptional world-building. Loved the unique Mongolian inspiration and the promise knots.
Heart-pounding, time-travelling mind bender that's an amazing mix of action, great characters and love.
Vivid and gritty, Penryn and Raffe dragged my heart through the ringer in this scary dystopian world.
You can't really go wrong with a Heist Society book, and this one had an added dose of Hale!
Evocative novel with one of my favourite narrators in a long time. Carey and her story were exceptional.
Been excited for this ever since it was announced and it completely lived up to all my expectations. Spooky, mysterious and the best book trio since Harry Potter.
I laughed, I cried, it was the wonder of Wonder indeed. BIG HUGS to Auggie and all his family and friends.
It only needs one word. STURMHOND.
Special mentions to Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver (the action!), The Fault in Our Stars by John Green (the FEELS!), Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell (the sweetness!) who were published in earlier years but I only had the pleasure of reading in 2013.
