MONROE, NC (AP) — A North Carolina man cutting the grass at a church has been struck and killed and a South Carolina man has been charged.
The North Carolina Highway Patrol says 73-year-old Don Lowery of Union County died Saturday after he was struck by a pickup truck while he was mowing the grass in front of the church where his wife is pastor.
Thirty-seven-year-old Ronald Sutton of Lancaster, S.C., has been charged with death by motor vehicle caused by reckless driving and driving with a suspended license.
North Carolina troopers say Lowery was about 30 feet off North Carolina 200 south of Monroe when he was hit.
Lowery was cutting the grass at the Holy Band of Inspiration Church.

Puppy: Cozzee
Friends: 33
Member Since: May 9, 2008Add to Friends
Cozzee is a sweet little angel dog by day, read as sleeping. By night he is a turbocharged road running machine. For such a little guy, he can pour on the speed and when he stops his backend almost comes over his head. He loves to chase his older brother Tobbee (our beautiful Cocker Spaniel), however Tobbee, who doesn't remember being a puppy, is not too amused by Cozzee and his burst of energy. However, Cozzee is a little love bug and he loves to curl up in a little ball on anything soft or warm. You can lay him on your chest and the beat of your heart will literally put him to sleep. He is such a joy to have around the house as its been a long time since we have been blessed with a puppy and I truly believe he will have a long, healthy and adventurous life with his new Mom, Dad and brother.View Profile

Recent studies validated that massage really does work to ease those sore muscles after a tough workout. Just 10 minutes can reduce inflammation, which can help your body recover.
However, the health benefits of touch extend beyond simply soothing aches and pains. Of course, the stressed-out have been proponents of the anxiety-busting procedure for decades. But a growing body of research suggests that a rubdown is even better for you than you think. Here are a few of the health benefits of massage.
Manage Anxiety And Depression For the same reasons that a massage is relaxing, it can also soothe anxiety and depression. Massage reduces levels of the stress hormone cortisol, resulting in lifted spirits and often-lower blood pressure. It can also boost the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine, which are involved in depression.
Ease Pain
Eight out of 10 Americans will experience debilitating back pain, at some point, but a massage can help. According to a 2011 study, massage helped people in pain feel and function better compared to people who didn't receive any massage treatment. Massage has also been linked to decreased stiffness and pain, as well as better range of motion in people with osteoarthritis.
Curb Headaches
Just like muscle and back pain, headaches can also be alleviated thanks to massage. A regular rubdown can reduce a person's number of migraines or tension headaches according to WebMD, as well as limit how painful each migraine feels, according to the TRI.
Improve Sleep
If you've ever dozed off on a massage table, you don't need to be convinced that a massage can promote healthy sleep. A number of studies have examined this link, and chalk it up to massage's affect on delta waves, the kind of brain waves connected to deep sleep, according to Health magazine.
Beat PMS
At least one small study found that massage can kick pesky PMS symptoms, like bloating and mood swings, to the curb.
Raise Alertness
Want to boost your brainpower? Adults who were given a 15-minute chair massage in a Touch Research Institute (TRI) study were more alert.
Save Face
A little prodding in the right places can even have beauty benefits. "Massage increases blood flow, which plumps up slack skin, encourages lymphatic drainage (the shuttling of toxins out and away from cells so that more nutrients can travel in).
Ease Cancer Treatment
Because of many of the benefits listed above, massage is particularly helpful for people living with or undergoing treatment for serious illnesses, like cancer. Various studies have shown that massage can relieve fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression and nausea in cancer patients.

Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver today announced the appointments of Patrick Bulgaro, Marvin Jacob and Ellen Yaroshefsky to the Joint Commission on Public Ethics (JCOPE).
JCOPE, which was established by the Public Integrity Reform Act of 2011, is an independent body responsible for overseeing and investigating allegations of ethics violations in state government. This new ethics panel became operational on December 11, 2011, replacing the Commission on Public Integrity.
"Pat Bulgaro, Marvin Jacob and Ellen Yaroshefsky are accomplished and principled and have distinguished themselves among their peers as individuals who uphold the highest standards of probity, which qualifies them to serve on the Joint Commission on Public Ethics," said Speaker Silver.
The 14-member commission is comprised of three appointments each from the Senate Majority Leader and Speaker of the Assembly, one each from the minority leaders of both houses and six appointments jointly from the governor and lieutenant governor.
The governor will appoint the chair from among the commission members.
Pat Bulgaro
Bulgaro has more than 25 years of state government experience, serving at the highest levels of several state agencies, including the Department of Taxation and Finance and the Division of the Budget where he served as director under former Governor Mario Cuomo.
He also served as President and Executive Director of the Center for the Disabled and on the New York State Temporary Commission on Lobbying as an appointee of Speaker Silver. During his distinguished public service career, Bulgaro was awarded the Governor Charles Evans Hughes Award for "outstanding career achievement."
Marvin Jacob
Jacob, a retired attorney, was a partner in the Business and Finance & Restructuring Department of Weil, Gotshal & Manges, where he handled matters before the bankruptcy courts and federal district and appellate courts.
He has corporate bankruptcy litigation experience, serving such institutional clients as General Electric Capital Corporation and Credit Suisse First Boston. From 1964 to 1979, Mr. Jacob served as the Associate Regional Administrator, New York Regional Office, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. He has authored several published articles on bankruptcy. In 2010, the Speaker appointed Jacob to the task force that oversees the implementation of the Public Authorities Reform Act of 2009.
Ellen Yaroshefsky
Yaroshefsky is currently a law professor at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, co-executive director of the Jacob Burns Ethics Center in the Practice of Law, and a former adjunct professor at Fordham Law School.
She is an experienced attorney specializing in defense and civil rights litigation, and is a member of several attorney ethics review organizations, including the American Bar Association's Ethics, Gideon and Professionalism Committee; the New York State Bar Association's Committee on Standards of Attorney Conduct; and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers Ethics Advisory Committee.
Under the Public Integrity Reform Act 2011, which was sponsored by Silver, each member of the JCOPE will be appointed to serve a five year term.
During their terms on JOCPE, members are prohibited from soliciting campaign contributions for election to the offices of governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, state comptroller or to the senate and assembly.
Silver noted that commission members can not be or have been, within the last three years, a lobbyist, state legislator, statewide elected official, agency commissioner or political party chair. Individuals who are legislative and state employees are also barred from serving unless they have not been employed by the state for 12 months.

A Farewell and Some Final Thoughts
For nearly two years, I've been analyzing Gen Y–their preferences, where they're coming from and what makes them tick–and suggesting how credit unions can tap into their market every month in this column. In 2013, Credit Union Times will retire the Gen Y Back Talk column, so this past month has been a time of reflection for me.
As a member of Gen Y myself, I've had a chance to ponder my own behaviors as well as the behaviors of the entire group, and I've realized that not one of us accurately represents the entire generation. Sometimes I'll scroll through my 580 Facebook friends to remind myself of this: while one 30-year-old friend is single and spending a year abroad, another is a married homeowner with three kids.
They're a diverse group, but from a marketing standpoint, organizations have no choice but to draw some generalized conclusions. As I bid farewell to the column, I'd like to share some final thoughts on Gen Y.
They're overwhelmed. Gen Y members are bombarded with information 24/7 on their mobile devices, computers and TVs, and keep busy responding to emails, texts, posts and tweets. They receive constant updates on what their peers are doing and what's happening around the world, which leaves them to second guess their own life and career choices. As a result, many of them are starting several new chapters in their adult lives and changing jobs frequently.
They don't want to emulate children at 30. Gen Y members rely on their parents as a back-up plan for making ends meet. But they're not living at home or accepting money out of greed or laziness, they're doing it because it's available to them and socially acceptable. Most of them are taking the help because in this tough economy, it's their only opportunity to achieve a goal such as finishing a degree or purchasing a home, and once they're financially independent and thriving, they'll relish in it.
They're passionate workers. They become easily bored with jobs that entail punching a clock and engaging in the same activities day in and day out. Working for companies with missions that don't align with their personal interests or beliefs is also a turn-off. But if they're doing work that's meaningful and challenging, they'll give their all to a job. They're interested in working for small companies and start-ups, and credit unions should also take note that they have a thing for nonprofits. The problem is, it's hard for them to land dream jobs that pay a living wage. They're willing to accept imperfect jobs until they find something that makes them happy.

Black Students Are Late Because Slaves Were Late, Said College Professor
What with the alarming recent pseudotrend of racism permeating college campuses, we'd be remiss if we didn't bring you up to speed on this late-breaking story from Friday: Mark Wattier (pictured, atop horse), a political science professor at Murray State University, has decided to retire after being suspended by the school for allegedly making a racial remark to two black students who, he said, showed up late for class. The student says:
"And then he said, 'Well, it's OK, I expect it of you guys anyway,'" Johnson said. "We asked him, 'What did that mean?' And he said the slaves never showed up on time, so their owners often lashed them for it. He just didn't have the right."
That would indeed reflect poor judgment—or even outright stupidity, nastiness, and calcified racism!—on Wattier's part. But the departing professor says it wasn't as bad as that:
After a class early last semester, Wattier said, two students approached him asking for a course syllabus. Wattier concluded the students had shown up late for class, but he said he did not know if Johnson was one of them.
"Then, I made a mistake," Wattier said in the e-mail. "I did say, 'Do you know why you were late? There's a theory that a way to protest their master's treatment was for slaves to be late.'
Ohhh. Well in that case.

Now get a giant tire
Vidalia, Ga
That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!
I can see I was being too literal. Lesson learned! I spent the afternoon looking for a daycare with a similar sign, but no joy. No worries. Had a great ride on a windy day. I'll get one soon.
Well.....Not as Huge as yours but taller than my bike.
How about a piece of farm equipment that is tall enough to walk under.
***EDIT*** if you cannot find one you can walk under get one that has tires taller than you or your bike.
I actually could have ridden the bike under this one at the dealership.
I thought about it (for like a second) when I got stuck behind one of those on the way home once..lol. The voice in my head that says "that's idiotic, dumb ass" has gotten louder over the last 15 or 20 years.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Mine too.
I'd have better luck looking for snow removal equiptment today than farm.
Next, a Town Hall sign. Must be seperate from the building
Great grab. Even had the same make and model it appears.
Might have just the place. Will see how my schedule works out.
City Hall ok?
Rolesville Town Hall
Thats funny. Town Hall is in a strip mall.
Next up - a gaggle of school busses:
Grab, a small gaggle of school buses. Tuacahn Performing Arts school.
Tag - Show me some C's.
Collective Coffee Company Charleston SC
Nice! Welcome to the tag game. What's next?
Charleston tea plantation. The only United States tea plantation. Tag is anything growing in a row.

Hi there, i have a LOT of texture files with korean file names.
The file names show up as(using as an example):
but when displayed with the correct encoding(korean) they show up as:
Now my question is how do i convert the garbled junk into the understandable, readable korean filenames so i can open them in my c++ application?
When i printf the file path i want to open in my app, it outputs:
into the run console(i'm using project builder in Mac OS X)
when i try and open the garbled filename using, for example, fopen, it returns null(not found?) and when i try and fclose() it crashes the app.
also, if i try entering in an absolute korean path manually like this:
fopen("/DATA/texture/Çʵå¹Ù´Ú\½£¼Ó¹Ù´Ú-01.bmp", "rb");
I get the warning:
warning: unknown escape sequence: '\354'
and fopen returns null.
If anyone could help me it would be appreciated a lot!
Here's a screenshot of how different apps are outputting my korean file names. Only finder manages to do it correctly: http://www.playrpg.com/storage/Picture%204.jpg
Note: the small textedit window is how it should look before being encoded. the style of text in the finder is how it should look after being translated into korean.
EDIT: to see this post how its meant to be set your browser encoding to korean

Discussion in 'Ride Reports - Epic Rides' started by Low594, Apr 1, 2013.
Yes, last week Death Valley was infested by Creeps M/C!
And here are the details of the trip!
We were all set up to leave on Friday AM 3/23. On Sunday (3/19), my bike was already to go mechanically, last thing was to do the oilchange since I had 2k on it and we were likely to hit 2k miles! Thats when I discovered water in the oil, crap! I made a series of phone calls, no head gaskets to be found at any local shops that were open on a Sun or Mon. We got the bike down to my buddies shop, DJ Cycles in San Jose. Performed a leakdown test, not the head gasket! Just the waterpump! Fortunately, I had bought spares the last time I did it! So I was down at the shop everyday before work and after (swing shift) working on it. So was DJ and my brother, helping me, getting clients bikes done and prepping their own bikes!
Because of all this we got a later start than planned on Friday!
As told in the previous post, we started out from south San Jose at 12 noon, instead of 9am as planned. 3 of the 6 of us had only managed 3-4 hrs of sleep per night for the past week!
So we hopped on Hwy 85 south, to 101 south and then 25 south. This put us in Hollister where we topped off gas. From there it was fun roads! We continued down 25 through Paicines as well as other lil towns, then on Peach Tree Rd. Along here is where, DJ CYCLES was fighting a rut with his new front tire and was aimed off the road and had to choose unknown tall grass or a dirt driveway to aim for at 50mph! All went well, no laydown or highside!
Peach Tree eventually became Indian Valley Rd and dropped us into the town of San Miguel along side 101. We ran 101S for about 5 miles to Paso Robles and stopped for a late lunch at Good Ol' Burgers!
Then we hopped on 46 East, which is also called Windy Way, and was a nightmare of 50mph, with crosswinds, riding at 45* angles and fighting winds from semis! But we made it to Bakersfield before sundown, where we decided to call it a night, for several reasons. Needing a good night sleep and good meal, not knowing where to find camping east of Bakersfield, and hoping to find a GoPro Helmet mount before traversing Kern Canyon. No luck on the GoPro, seems the CycleGear in Bakersfield is gone!
We got a couple rooms at Motel 6 near Hwys 178 & 99 and found a Marie Callendars in walking distance! Had a great meal and enjoyed the discounted beers in fishbowl glasses!
Got up and moving, grabbed a quickish coffee and pastry breakfast from StarPukes.
East bound on 178, through Kern Canyon,
We had 1 minor issue at the 20mph hairpin when headed up some hills. Inmate reaymorgan had misjudged and ran through the turn and stopped on the outside, but when he stopped the angle was so steep, his foot didnt touch and he dropped the bike.
We got him uprighted and took a breather. Then we finished the 178.
North on 395 and we stopped at Olancha for lunch. This is where my brother got another one of his bright ideas!
Yes, it stayed safely in place for the remaining 100 miles!
Then took 190 east, then headed through the remaining valleys and mtns.
We got to Furnace Creek well before sundown and inmate jrsride2002 found us at the Ranger Station, checking in.
We got all setup and started in on our beer and stories!
Thanks to DJ CYCLES and his girlfriend(who brought a stove, cooler, beer and group food) we had a great breakfast! Due to a few factors we got a start just before noon, but we were on vacation and many of us were tired from the overtime work for the week prior, so we didnt care much. Its a day for an easier loop!
We got gas and scooted down 190 to 20 Mule Team Canyon, which made for a nice dirt primer, the whole crew was convinced airing the tires down was a good idea! We continued down 190 to the turnoff for Dantes View (Furnace Creek Wash Rd), which was a nice sprint up to a 5500' view of BadWater @ -282'!
We ran down from Dantes and took the dirt road to the South, this is where Furnace Creek Wash Rd and Dantes View Rd intersect. We aired down to decent pressures and hit the dirt to see what we can learn of ourselves and our bikes! jrsride2002 was awesome and hung back with panda! and jejtastic (our self-appointed "Slow Team")
and did some reassuring and educating. Both learned and advanced quickly, they rolled up at the end with big grins and confidence that was many steps ahead of where they were just 1 hour before! All of us had a good time and learned alot, we even decided to scrap the previous plan of running the Badwater Rd slab, instead we ran South to North up Westside Rd! West Side is in real nice shape, but has enough hazards that you have to keep your eyes open. A few minor sand washes, loose corners and ruts, the standard stuff! One of these ruts, caught me off guard and I ended up not being able to avoid it and it spit me out the far end, headed for the outside berm and open rocky desert beyond. I prepped for the spill, but at the same time recalled my early BMX/MtnBike days. I got the bike stable and when I hit the berm, I leaned into the turn, and wacked the throttle and before I knew it , it was all over with! I'm really hopping that DJ CYCLES' GoPro was still running at that point, since he was hot on my tail!
pic by jejtastic
Toward the end (north) in the saltflat areas, there are some runoff washes that can sneak up on you! The deepest of which, did sneak up on me and I had to wack the throttle again, about that time is when I heard the theme song to the Dukes of Hazard! I'm sure it felt better in my gut than it looked!

panda!, jejtastic & jrsride2002
After that we hit the pavement and checked out Devil's Golfcourse
Artist's Drive and Artist's Palette!
The sun was setting, so we ran back to the camp, our beer and dinner!
Started alot like Day 3 with a slow start and a great breakfast, but then took a downhill slide when it was discovered that at some point DJ CYCLES' front brake hose had gotten pinched between the front A-arm and fork tube and was leaking. About an hour of diagnostics, measurements and phone calls, located a shop in Las Vegas that could make the hose. It was determined that jrsride2002 would drive DJ CYCLES there and back, both loosing out on a whole day of riding! It was also determined that none of us could help any more, so we geared up and went on a short version of our planned route.
Gassed up again at Furnace Creek Chevron!
pic by jejtastic
And headed north on 190, north on Scotty's Castle Rd,
pic by jejtastic
past Ubehebe Crater and then on the dirt towards Teakettle Junction
the Grandstand and the Racetrack
By this time the sun was threatening to drop below the mtns! So we boogied back towards the crater. Along the way is when my brothers headlight bracket decided to give up the good fight. 5 minutes with zipties had it back to 60% usable and with dual H7 55watt HID bulbs, the lighting was sufficient, but our goal still remained to get off the dirt before the sun hid for the night. We got to see Ubehebe Crater during sunset!
The dirt portion was good with the first 2-3 miles being the most difficult. lots of fist sized knarly pointed rocks! But most of the rest we could run at 45-50 mph!
Tourist shot of myself
Hey Low594,
Wonderful rr, love seeing people ride their bikes from the garage to DV!
Is that the moon? Nice use of pano pics in this rr ...
see you around the campfire,
-- SFMCjohn
That's the way we like to ride! It disappoints us to see a bike on the road without the wheels to the ground and the motor humming!
Yes, it was a wonderful sight when we got there and saw the moon rising over the mountains! And a nearly full one to boot!
And I should be working in a lil while to finish up the report on how our ride home went!
The beginning of our return trip!
All loaded up and ready to roll! Unfortunately, my brother felt he needed to be back that eve and decided to do a fast solo slab back. He made it fine and even decided to go bowling that evening after doing 500 miles straight thru on the XR675L/SM! The rest of us refueled and did a last minute trinket grab at the country store in Furnace Creek!
DJ CYCLES putting his earbuds in and reaymorgan stretching out
We headed back the same route towards Bakersfield and the same Motel 6, since we knew what to expect!
All was going well thru the park when we were climbing up towards Father Crowley Point, we heard a horrendous grating metal noise, yes every one of us heard the same thing and wondered what happened to our engines. Then realized it was 1 of many jets that are known for doing low altitude flybys out in the deserts! Thank goodness! So we took a stopoff at Father Crowley and were treated to quite a sight!

A minute or 2 later a Chevy Astro van pulls up and an old gentleman jumps out, runs over to us and starts asking about the flybys and telling us how he keeps missing them! Meanwhile his wife or passenger has opened the door and is puking her guts out! :eek1
Back on the road with a gas and lunch stop at Olancha. Then continued down 395 head long into horrid crosswind. I'm still fairly certain that I had the bike horizontal and the tires 6" off the ground for a good 5 miles or more!:huh
Then we caught 178 west and the winds started to go away....
I have always loved the alien looks of the Joshua Trees so we made a stop for pics!
We could tell we were running short on light so we kept moving.
Kern Canyon was beautiful at night!
We intended to have dinner in Lake Isabella at our favorite grub spot, Damn Tacos, but they closed up shop!
But got a few beautiful moon pics!
All of us were exhausted and we just opted for Carl's Jr, after we checked into our hotel!
We all got some needed rest, then had a good meal at Carrows, in the same parking lot as our hotel.
None of us liked the idea of fighting the winds on 46 again! So we opted for 58 running west out of Bakersfield, this was a good call as the weather was beautiful, cool and the road was in great shape!
Our first stop was about 30 miles east of 101 at a lil parking lot with a roach coach going by the name of Mike's Tin Can and was setup to serve the construction workers who have been working on the big solar farm out there! I neglected to get a pic, but the truck had IBEW (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers) stickers from locals nearby as well as Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico! This is awesome to me, because I have been a member for 13 years now! I really need to remember to carry a few stickers! We didn't have much cash, so we just got sodas.
pic by jejtastic
Sometime before this stop is where panda! picked up a friend!
But Mike and his help suggested the Way Back Inn (@ Black Mtn RV Resort, 4293 Calf Cnyon Hwy, Creston, Ca). We found it, great company, great Boxer even tho she was very shy she liked to play! The food was really good too! Tell them the Creeps sent you!
Then we slabbed it up 101 and back to DJ Cycles, the shop!
I just looked at the pics and knew exactly where you were. Man, if I haven't driven the canyon 100 times. That brought back memories.
Yea guys! Tons of fun!! Thanks for letting me join y'all!
In Texas now, no computer, and the dumb phone aint good enough to check out ALL the pics.
Keep me in the loop for future rides!
Looks like fun, thanks for the report!!!
Bitchen ride report,I like the bikes,thanks fer takin us all along.
No problem guys... It's fun sharing! We ended up with a fun assortment of bikes, none like the others! And every one of us had done something beyond stock to address the night lighting issue!
Fixed and added a few pics from jejtastic!
Probably a good time and place to mention, we ran alot of Heidenau tires!
-panda! had a set of 1.5 yr old K60Scouts that also serve commute time
-DJ CYCLES, jejtastic and myself ran brand new K60Scouts
-reaymorgan ran a new K60Scout rear and his old ??? front
-my brother ran K73 supermotos
They all seemed to do real well and it sounds like most of us wouldn't hesitate to run them again. reaymorgan commented that he wanted a matched pair next time and my brother had to work too hard running the K73s on 17" rims. Next time he will likely get a 21" front and run K60s.
On mine, I found they were very comparable to the 2 pairs of Metzeler Sahara Enduro3 that I have favored. The K60s were sketchy on freeway when brand new, I kept thinking something was wrong (axles, swing arm, etc). All the K60s reported the same feeling in different degrees! After 100 miles or so, I finally wore thru the outer coating and the uneasiness went away and I was soon laying into corners pretty aggressively for new tires and being fully loaded for a weeks camping! They never again gave me reason to doubt them! In the dirt, they hooked up so much better than the Metzelers. I aired down from 30psi to 25 in the rear and left the front at 30psi. I really wish I had remembered what kTm recommended for dirt pressures! I still have the hairs on the outside edges of the tread, after ~1500 miles of freeway, twisties and dirt! I would buy them again in a heartbeat! But I'd put 50+ miles of city streets on them before hitting the freeway!

What this class is
Pampering is the right word to describe this three-hour extended yoga session for Mums, a regular one-off Saturday event at the Yoga Home. Run once every term, three times a year, Yoga Home students who are also Mums are invited to a well deserved rest and relaxation event at the Iona School in Sneinton, an ideal venue for a few hours away from the kids. In this calming environment, in the schools kindergarden, students are led through two one and a half hour yoga sessions, broken by a short break for tea and healthy nibbles (Green and Blacks chocolate, oat crackers and homemade flapjack). At the end of the morning students can stay for a fuddle, a shared lunch, which always includes Ameet's delicious homemade dahl, plus lots of other scrumptious food brought in by attendees. The whole event is a wonderful combination of yoga and socialising; three rare hours of yoga, plus a chance to meet up with friends from past pregnancy and postnatal yoga classes.

Essay Assignment
Formal Writing Assignment #4: of Sermons and Stones
Of course, as individuals, we have opinions on many issues, and perhaps especially strong opinions when it comes to questions about the meaning of life and our place and purpose in the universe. As writers, we have many voices with which to express our views on such questions. How those voices sound depends on who we are (at the time of writing), and who they are (our readers), as well as on our purpose for writing. What questions should we ask? As readers, we should be able to hear that voice-warm, human, alive, committed-and, because of it, understand the deep involvement of the writer with his subject, especially when it comes to questions of faith , morality, ethics, religious belief, or non-belief. For a reader to successfully identify with the writer, the reader must believe in, trust, and be compelled by the voice of the writer. To engage the reader in this way, a writer must know, not only his own thoughts, but truly the contents of his heart; and it is for this reason, among others, that writing is risky, and often "messy," and sometimes wonderful.
Choose one of the topics from the list below.
So: Choose Invent Limit Describe Argue (Reasonably) about one of these:
1. Why I am, am not, a Catholic/Christian/Jew/Muslim
Once again the last, but by no means least, page of your paper will be
the Works Cited page (see the Sample Works Cited Page on page 329) in
The Everyday Writer, and remember to follow the Correct MLA-form of in-text
citation. )


text: I have been playing with a guy who has good understanding about how a tennis player needs to prepare for ground strokes: both forehand and backhand. What he has identified that I have a severe timing problem preparing for a forehand ground stroke. Even he is placing balls very well I am still having issues positioning myself properly: the biggest problem is that I am not opening up in time. I am waiting too long for the ball to bounce. As a result I dont have enough time to get the racket behind me and rotate my body. To compensate for that I often use some jerky movement to get into position. One would say it is all in your head and I totally agree, the only sad thing is that I have absolutely no such problem with backhand stroke, so, there is a hope I am looking for some tips to improve my timing. What would experienced players recommend? Thanks

It may only be for a year, but Billups, J-Rich, Melo, and Amare would do work

Amy Tybuec and her two daughters were selected from an applicant pool of 17 families, after three families made it through the final phase of the application process.
Now that the family has been selected, they will undergo a series of classes that will assist them with several facets of homeowner education, including how to take care of a house and assistance with budgeting money.
The resources committee will now begin raising funds for building the house — funds that normally come anywhere from corporations to churches and individuals.
"We've had really good support," said Lori Grace, president of the Habitat for Humanity Pope County affiliate. "It's really incredible that we have this amount of support for being a new organization and being able to build an $80,000 house for somebody."
This is the second year, and the second house, that the Pope County Habitat Affiliate has built. This house, which Grace said they will construction will begin in early September, will be built on a lot adjacent to the previous Habitat for Humanity house built last year, where Pope County's first habitat family, Nichole Ledford and her four children, currently live.
Grace said another thing the organization tries to do to help the community is buy construction materials locally.
"We're trying to purchase everything locally, so we're helping to create jobs here in the community by purchasing the things we need to build the house," she said. "We're trying to stimulate the economy."
People interested in donating or volunteering with Habitat for Humanity can email Grace at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.hfhpca.org.

Ashley says Eclipse might be "gorier"

I for one am afraid Slade is using Eclipse to make this huge franchise turn into a horror movie. I dont know about anyone else, but it sure seems that way. He better include all the other elements, balancing everything out evenly, or its going to completely ruin it.ReplyDelete
I don't think it will be a horror movie, but I think it might be on the darker side. A little different from Twilight and New Moon- at least in the book we really see the vampires and wolf pack in greater detail as to what they really are/can be etc. Still has the love story,but with a little more truth to the life Bella's character is choosing. I agree with Anony- I hope it is balanced out as well as the book is- it is one of the most pivotal books in the series.ReplyDelete
Well this book is darker than the other two...I indeed hope that he doesn't mess with the story too much because it could damage everything...Obviously I hope they get to film Breaking Dawn too...can you imagine that they stop in Eclipse and left us hanging?? That would be terrible!!!ReplyDelete
@ Ismarie: Oh no, don't even say it out loud :-(ReplyDelete
As I see it right now, they should bring back Chris Weitz for BD, NM seems like it's going to be so good.
It is off course kind of irritating with the switch of directors for each movie, I fear we'll have 4 way too different movies. I love Twilight and NM seems to be just over the top, but it's already very clear, it's going to be 2 very different movies.
Ok, just had such of a daydream here at the office... If Eclipse will be more on the darker side, could we then change the plot just a tiny bit? I'm thinking Eric Northman visiting with the Cullens, fighting with them:-DReplyDelete
Please don't throw things at me, but, uhm, if I could get my Twilight and MY Eric Northman, Oh my G! Just a tiny bit of Eric please????
I'm all for a darker vibe,(even if that means a little more gore)and more guy friendly (meaning action)as long as the Bella/Edward love story is still the main focus and heart of the movie. And yes I think balance is key.ReplyDelete
@ *D* Twi-lover: Well I don't think an Eric Northman appearance would be a good mesh in the Twilight world. But I'm with ya on lovin' Mr. Northman.... he is my 2nd favorite vamp, I think we can all guess who comes in 1st... LOL!
@ THparkle: I know, I feel like such a traitor :-/ But I can't think straight when it comes to him, he's pure s-e-x ;-) He might even take nr. 1 here *LOL* But Robward I do love you too!ReplyDelete
Anyways, it might turn out bad, if he did make an appearance in Eclipse. Nobody wants to watch a grown woman lick the screen in the theater :-D
Well, Eclipse is definitely the darkest of all books. I remember it getting pretty gory towards the end. Like, seriously gory, borderline "wtf, Stephenie?" - I mean, there were heads rolling, okay? Heads rolling. 'Nuff said.ReplyDelete
So as afraid as I may be about the choice of director, I believe Slade will do a good job depicting the darker side of the saga.
What I am most concerned about is the wardrobe/makeup department. Somebody needs to fix Bella's wig for yesterday.
I agree with Jess. Slade is a good choice for Eclipse. Lets just pray he doesnt lose the romantic edge in the midst of all the terror.ReplyDelete
I feel like Stephenie didnt get gory enough during the newborn war. I understand it was from Bellas pov but from the wolves and Cullens pov it must have been pretty grousome. I love the line delivered from Edward in the tent, "We can hear Emmett from here...he's apparently enjoying himself." LOL!
Alot of people assume that Eclipse is more about Bella and Edward trying to hammer out pre-marital details, but it's just not. It's actually a very dark book.
1.Volturi watching Bella and the Cullens for any misteps.
2.Jacob tormenting Edward for hurting Bella and holding the treaty over Bella and Edwards head. Yeah, he's a real winner.
3.Victoria is salivating for Bellas blood while stalking her every move.
4.Newborns are tracking Bella and the Cullens down.
5.Bella is determined to become a vampire and makes plans for the transformation with Carlisle.
So if that doesn't constitue for a dark ass movie nothing will. I am excited to see Slades take on the hovering threats. You have this fabulous love story of ultimate survival being threatened. I cant wait!
Sooo... Guess theres no good news today on Eclipse or New Moon? This vid is from yesterday. I need UPDATES!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 17, 2009 at 10:05 PM
I love how Weitz felt the need to convey the beauty, art and romance through rich color and how that will impact the entire mood of the film. NM is going to be amazing and you can already see that Weitz kept his word. I'm still sour at Slade for mocking the series and I feel like he doesn't have thesame kind of passion that Weitz had for the film. I hope he can pull it off. I agree with whomever said bring Weitz back for BD!!!ReplyDelete

Wireless Connectivity Overview
- Successful trials launched in 2013
- 50 UK cities roll-out in 18 months
- Excellent wholesale offering for ISP
- Up to 10 times faster for the same wholesale cost
At Internexus, we have been delivering internet since early 2001 using traditional leased lines. Over the last few years we have moved into wireless access using the most advanced radio technologies available in the world.
Since 2005 we have been delivering wireless access to our wholesale customers for business critical applications, such as voice, security and backup services.
In early 2013, Internexus rolled out wireless access for all users including residential. This allows our wholesale customers to offer a viable alternative to the BT Open Reach product and other LLU providers in the UK. The cost metric for wireless is very similar to traditional providers; however, the amount of bandwidth is normally 5 times greater than VDSL (FTTC) and over 10 times greater than traditional ADSL.
The first trials were made live in the North West in late 2013. We intend to rollout out the consumer network on the back of our current footprint of business networks, in over 50 cities in the next 18 months.
The cost of the first 50 UK cities project is estimated at $120 million.

Jim Hightower, national radio commentator and author, is slated to hold a lecture, entitled "Meaning of Populism (True and False)", at Point Park University on Wednesday, October 20. The event will be held in the George Rowland White Theatre in the University Center (414 Wood Street, Downtown) at 6:00 p.m. and is free and open to the public. There will be a book signing and reception immediately following.
Twice elected Texas Agriculture Commissioner, Hightower believes that the true political spectrum is not right to left but top to bottom. He broadcasts daily radio commentaries that are carried in more than 150 commercial and public stations, on the web, on Armed Forces Radio, and on Radio for Peace International. He also does a weekly video blog.
Each month, Hightower publishes a populist political newsletter, "The Hightower Lowdown", which now has more than 135,000 subscribers and is one of the fastest growing political publications in America. The hard-hitting "Lowdown" has received both the Alternative Press Award and the Independent Press Association Award for best national newsletter.
This event is presented by Point Park University's School of Arts and Sciences and the Global Cultural Studies program, which is offered through the Department of Humanities and Human Sciences. The aim of the Global Cultural Studies program is to provide students with an understanding of the complexities of the world in which we live, grounded in a familiarity with its historical, philosophical, political, social, cultural, aesthetic, and environmental elements; and the critical thinking and communication skills needed to make agile, confident and informed decisions.
Registration is available through Point Park University's website www.pointpark.edu/ces. Questions regarding the event can be directed to 412-392-3938 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Falcons lobbying for Gonzalez
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The Atlanta Falcons have two primary offseason goals.
Yes, they want to lock up franchise quarterback Matt Ryan to a new long-term deal. But the more pressing need may be getting tight end Tony Gonzalez to delay his retirement plans for another season.
``I've spoken with Tony, and I hope you guys understand that when I talk to my players, I try to keep those conversations private,'' coach Mike Smith said Friday at the NFL's annual scouting combine. ``I'll talk with him again, and the time frame on that is sooner than later. We know that Tony had an outstanding year for us.''
Atlanta (13-3) finished with the NFC's best record and fell just short of reaching its second Super Bowl, a loss that many thought would be the last of Gonzalez's career.
While he hasn't officially announced his retirement, Gonzalez has said repeatedly he was 95 percent certain the 2012 season would be his last in the NFL.
If Gonzalez doesn't return, Smith made it clear the Falcons would be looking for a replacement that looks a lot like Gonzalez, the career leader for receptions among tight ends. Of course, the best solution might be not be finding a replacement at all.
``I think the skill set that Tony Gonzalez has is basically the standard that most teams are looking for when they are talking about a tight end,'' Smith said. ``He was really the first one, the more athletic tight end that could extend from the formation, line up outside, line up in different places. We would be looking for that type of tight end.''
Gonzalez's future is only part of the equation in Atlanta.
Ryan has led the Falcons to the playoffs four times but has only one postseason win, and his contract is set to expire after next season. Apparently, Atlanta is ready to start talking.
``Obviously, it's a priority for us when the time is right, and we're not too anxious about it because we're confident that it's going to get done,'' general manager Thomas Dimitroff said.
``Our feeling is that Matt's going to be with us for many years to come and he's going to be our franchise guy that we're all very proud off, again, on and off the field. Matt's what we're looking for in a quarterback.''

Ok so i just purchase a brandnew Trane Unit Xl16i with a Airhandler TAM7A00
TAM7A0C48 Hyperion™ XL Series 7 plus with the XL803 Thermostat
we spend almost $ on this unit in December 2011
i have a single family home one story approx 2280 sqft.
I had asked for a load calculation when i bought the unit but the sales rep ensured me he knew what he was doing.
Unit ran fine UNTIL about 1 month ago. It first started it would try to come on and kept clicking in the thermostat. so they came out and replaced that. Unit ran fine for a bout 1 week. Then the outdoor unit, which i was told is one of the quietest out there started to be really loud when shutting off. almost like something was stuck in the blade of fan. Then last week i came home saturday at 5 pm and mind you i have my thermostat programmed to come on every day at 5 pm to be at 77 F and when i leave i have it set to 78 F I came home to 83 F in my home!!!
Tech came back out and said needs a NEW compressor!!!! mind you again unit is ONLY 5 month old!!!
That was about 1 week ago they installed new compressor.... and dryer.
Yesterday same thing happens again... set to come on when i return to 77 come back at 5 pm its 83 F in my home. I left at 1 pm. so somewhere between and 5 pm the unit is NOT running BUT it does come back on at around 7-8 pm on both days..... MAYBE it can't handle the HOT HEAT during day????? this is one of the reasons we purchased a new unit because our old unit RAN 24/7..... and now this one wont run at all during day... so YESTERDAY tech came back out and told us a cable was lose and the tech might have hit a PLUG! ....... well again last night and all day today until i left around 1 pm again unit was running fine.... so i come back home at 5 pm again AGAIN 83 F...... i shut unit off and tried to turn it back on NOTHING.... again around - pm UNIT came back on!!!!
What is going on???? OBVIOUSLY they can't figure it out. Should I ask them to give me a brandnew system???? I feel so uncomfortable to start off with such a LEMON!!!!!
And mind you this is a company that gets all the sales from HOME DEPOT you would think they know what they are doing!!!!
I called their after hour service right at 5 pm and i JUST now got a return call and they said maybe they can send someone out tomorrow. What to do if they can't figure out whats going on? Do you think it's an installation issue or a PRODUCT issue????
Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated

Wrigley's right-field bleachers getting patio
By Carrie Muskat / MLB.com
The Budweiser Patio will include a 75-foot LED sign installed above the right-field wall with the capability to display game information, such as pitch count, photos of players and statistics. It will not have video replay because of the size.
The new right-field configuration can handle a group of 150 people, or three groups of 50 each, or may be sold on an individual basis. Cubs team president Crane Kenney said the pricing was still to be determined.
"What we're finding both for our suites as well as other parts of the ballpark is that people want to be able to circulate -- you see it on the rooftops," Kenney said Saturday after a business management session at the 27th annual Cubs Convention, where the announcement was made.
"[It will be] a place where you can bring clients, move around in the space and not just be fixed," Kenney said. "If I'm in seat [No. 1] and my clients are in seats two through eight, I don't get to talk to the person in seat [No. 8]. It's a chance to circulate."
Each section of 50 tickets will include both seated and standing-room-only tickets, and an all-inclusive food and beverage package.
The Wrigley Field bleachers underwent a major renovation after the 2005 season when they were expanded and a restaurant was added in the batter's eye.
The right-field configuration does not involve any of Wrigley's landmark status features, such as the ivy or the scoreboard.
Kenney said fans have asked for more statistics and in-game information, and the new LED board will provide that. Wrigley Field does not have a video scoreboard to show replays.
"One of the things we hear from our fans is if you go to other parks, it'll tell you not only that the pitch was 92 miles an hour but it was a slider or a fastball," Kenney said. "People want more information in the park so with the hand-operated scoreboard and the small LED we have beneath it, it's a chance to bring more information to the fans."
The Cubs also announced Saturday they will experiment with dynamic pricing on bleacher seats, which means fans will benefit if they purchase tickets early.
More than 90 percent of Cubs season ticket holders renewed their tickets for 2012, Kenney said. Single-game tickets go on sale March 9.

Age limit for jurors raised to 75
People up to and including the age of 75 will be able to sit as jurors in England and Wales under a package of reforms to the criminal justice system.
Currently, only people aged 18 to 70 are eligible to sit as jurors.
Between 2005 and 2012, an average of almost 179,000 people in England and Wales undertook jury service each year. It is estimated that this change would mean up to 6,000 jurors a year, out of the 179,000 average, would be 70 to 75-years-old.
Unveiling the proposal, Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said: " Jury service is, and remains, a cornerstone of the British justice system laid down in the Magna Carta almost 800 years ago. Every year, thousands of people give their time to take part in this vital function.
"Our society is changing and it is essential that the criminal justice system moves with the times. This is about harnessing the knowledge and life experiences of a group of people who can offer significant benefits to the court process."
The Juries Act 1974 states that only those aged 18 to 70 may be summoned to carry out jury service in England and Wales. This age range was last amended by the Criminal Justice Act 1988, which raised the upper limit from 65 to 70.
As part of the new plans, those aged 70 to 75 who are summoned would be expected to serve. However, the Juries Act 1974 still provides for discretionary excusal, where it can be shown that there is good reason why someone should be excused from attending.

Downtown on the rise with several revitalization projects
Tuesday, June 04, 2013
The City of Colorado Springs, Colorado Springs Utilities, Downtown Partnership, Colorado Springs Convention & Visitors Bureau, and Colorado Springs Urban Intervention will celebrate several improvements in and around Acacia Park in the heart of downtown Colorado Springs this week. Join Mayor Steve Bach and partners at the northeast corner of Acacia Park TODAY, Wednesday, June 5 at 2 p.m. to celebrate these exciting projects.
Tejon Street LED lighting:
Streetlights along Tejon Street between Colorado Avenue and Boulder Street and in Acacia Park have been upgraded with new energy efficient LED fixtures. The new brighter and whiter LEDs will save the City in electricity and maintenance costs, as well as enhance the capabilities of the downtown security cameras and increase park safety. By early this fall, LEDs will be installed to both sides of Tejon Street from Boulder Street to Cache la Poudre, enhancing pedestrian safety for those traveling to and from Colorado College and the core downtown. The project is funded by the Federal Energy Savings Grant and the City of Colorado Springs Parking Enterprise.
Downtown Visitors Hub
The Acacia Park Visitor Hub is a new endeavor to provide pedestrian access to visitors and residents. The Visitors Hub is a pilot program for this summer put on by the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department, Colorado Springs Convention and Visitors Bureau and Downtown Partnership. Open daily 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., the Hub is staffed with seasonal employees and volunteers who are knowledgeable about area attractions, local venues, restaurants, and more.
Curbside Cuisine
Curbside Cuisine is a result of a partnership toward improving the urban environment between the YMCA and Colorado Springs Urban Intervention. With the assistance of the City and several enthusiastic entrepreneurial chefs and small business owners, Curbside Cuisine offers a unique experience with multiple food options in Downtown Colorado Springs. CSUI, a fund through the Pikes Peak Community Foundation, seeks to improve Colorado Springs through innovation and low cost improvements such as taking a dilapidated and abandoned gas station and making it a vibrant place that activates the Acacia Park area. The experience has been a great testament how the City of Colorado Springs can foster small business start-ups, while providing a unique place that attracts Young Professionals.
Acacia Park Parking Meter Fundraiser:
The Parking Enterprise has teamed up with the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) to raise funds to benefit Acacia Park. The Parking Enterprise will donate a portion of the revenues generated at the parking meters immediately surrounding the park to the DDA. All revenue above the average revenue generated during the previous two years will be donated to the DDA. The funding will be used to benefit Acacia Park events and park improvements.
All of the meters around Acacia Park have been outfitted with a brightly colored pole sleeve. Visitors to downtown are encouraged to park at one of these meters to help support Acacia Park.
Nevada Avenue Medians:
The medians in Nevada Avenue from Cucharras Street to Bijou Street are nearing completion. These medians, which are part of the Downtown Streetscape Project, were constructed to improve traffic flow, provide a safer crossing for pedestrians and make downtown a more attractive and vibrant place for visitors and businesses. The Downtown Streetscape project is funded by the Parking Enterprise funds. No tax payer dollars were used.

As the greentech movement gains
traction, those forces are finding themselves clashing more often,
and some environmentalists are finding it hard
to reconcile their loves of green technology and the
environment. A prime example of this is a brewing solar power
mess in California.
The Mojave Desert is located in
southeastern and central California, as well as Nevada. The
desert is home to Mojave National Preserve and Joshua Tree National
Park. The region also receives a tremendous
amount of sunlight and wind, so California, in its push to
embrace alternative power approved multiple projects to be built in
the desert.
Now thanks to Senator Dianne Feinstein, 13 solar
and wind projects in the region may see
their hopes dashed. She has authored a bill which seeks to
block the projects, which she says is critical to protect millions of
acres of land. The bill would also create two new Mojave
national monuments.
Even before the bill sees a single vote,
it's already ruined many of the projects. Many of them have
been delayed indefinitely, and the Californian government has changed
its mind about routing new "green grid" power lines towards
the monument.
Karen Douglas, chairwoman of the California
Energy Commission comments, "The very existence of the monument
proposal has certainly chilled development within its
The land covered in the debate was
originally owned by the Catellus Development Corporation. It
was then purchased by environmentalists and donated a decade ago to
the government to protect. Sen. Feinstein says she's just
making good on that promise.
She states, "The Catellus
lands were purchased with nearly $45 million in private funds and $18
million in federal funds and donated to the federal government for
the purpose of conservation, and that commitment must be upheld.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the environmentalist and
a partner with a venture capital firm that invested in a solar
developer called BrightSource Energy, blasted Sen. Feinstein's
actions, stating, "This is arguably the best solar land in the
world, and Senator Feinstein shouldn't be allowed to take this land
off the table without a proper and scientific environmental
He says that the proposal will make it much more
difficult for California to achieve its goal of having a third of its
power provided
by alternative energy by 2020. BrightSource has canceled a
large project planned for the monument area.
The Mojave
desert, besides being ultra-sunny is home to a host of critters
including the desert tortoises, bighorn sheep, fringe-toed lizards
and other rare animals and plants. As green power advocates
seek to tap the abundant sunshine and wind energy across the country
and the environmentalists fight to block development to protect local
species, it seems that these
kinds of conflicts will only be growing more heated in the near

Title: Proton-Coupled Mechanochemical Transduction ' Mechanogenerating Acids
Speaker: Dr. Charles E. Diesendruck, Postdoctoral Researcher in Chemistry with Prof. Jeffrey S. Moore
Biological structural materials have the intrinsic capability to self-reinforce, self-heal or remodel in response to macroscopic damage. Incorporation of these features in synthetic polymers could lead to materials with service lifetimes well beyond current generation materials, circumventing costly repairs. Acid catalyzed reactions can be used to promote the remodeling of a polymer backbone and/or side chains because the catalyst is simple, stable and can diffuse in the solid state, allowing it to reach high turnover. Using known photochemically and thermally-promoted acid-producing reactions, unique mechanically sensitive chemical functionalities (mechanophores) with acid-releasing capability were designed to produce a simple catalyst that can induce numerous chemical transformations in materials under mechanical stress. The development of these new mechanophores is a first step towards force-induced remodeling of stressed polymeric materials that will potentially enable the development of smart, autonomic self-healing polymers and composite materials.

Dodgers remember Jenni Rivera
Here is the video the Dodgers posted of Jenni Rivera when she was at Dodger Stadium on Sunday August26, 2012. She performed at the Viva Los Dodgers festival that Sunday then she sang the National Anthem. I love that she said she grew up a Dodger fan and that she and her brother collected aluminum cans so that they could get money to go to Dodger Stadium.
Rest in peace Jenni.

The Top 10 List of Non-Giants Who Should Be on Every Giants Fan's Christmas Card List: No. 1, Brooks Conrad
Well, we've reached No. 1 on our list. And, really, is this much of a surprise?
Brooks Conrad went 1 for 11 with four strikeouts in the National League Division Series for the Braves.
But it wasn't what he did — or didn't do — with his bat that earned his spot on this list. No, it was his glove.
Conrad committed four errors in the four-game series, three in the Game 3 alone. Two of those errors were critical.
In the second inning with a runner on third, Conrad retreated on a pop fly to shallow right. As he tried to make an over-the-shoulder catch, Conrad dropped the ball, allowing Mike Fontenot score from third base.
Now, to Conrad's credit, the ball should have been fielded by RF Jason Heyward. But Heyward was dinged up after crashing into the wall and failing to make a catch on the deep fly by Fontenot in the preceding at-bat.
Then came the ninth. The Giants tied the game 2-2 on a walk to Travis Ishikawa and then two-out singles by Freddy Sanchez and Aubrey Huff.
The inning appeared as if it would end on the next at-bat when Buster Posey hit a one-hopper to Conrad at second base.
But Conrad allowed the ball to slip right between his legs into right-center, allowing Sanchez to score the go-ahead run.
Again, to Conrad's credit, his line of vision on Posey's ball could have been blocked by umpire Jerry Layne, who was positioned in the infield grass in front of Conrad.
But in that situation, Conrad's ultimate responsibility is to knock down that ground ball. But he didn't. The Giants scored and eventually won the game, and then the series.
If you want to relive the play, click here.
Now, you could do one of those "Five Reasons Why the Braves Can't Blame Brooks Conrad …" kind of shows. But, ultimately, his job is to catch the ball, and he didn't.
He was a stand-up guy afterwards, and owned up to his mistakes. A class guy.
So we feel for you, Brooks Conrad. But, just the same, thanks.
No. 2, Jonathan Broxton
No. 3, Larry Beinfest
No. 4, Cliff Lee
No. 5, Chase Utley
No. 6, Andrew Friedman and Neil Huntington
No. 7, Roy Oswalt
No. 8, Bud Black
No. 9, Paul Emmel
No. 10, Bengie Molina

One of the perks of being a college professor is paid travel. Yes, you have to write the grant, but when you go it is on someone else's dime. And of course you have to have some project and come back and write it up, but most of us consider that an additional benefit. We like writing stuff up, that's why we became academics in the first place. All of which is by way of preview to announcing that I will be returning to Vietnam this spring for a six-week visit. I'll be spending most of my time in Hanoi, where I lived what I was a Fulbright scholar in 2000-2001, but I'll also be going to the south. My plan is to record interviews with Vietnamese poets and collect poems for translation. I am particularly interested in placing contemporary Vietnamese poetry in its cultural and historical context. Vietnamese culture has long venerated the art of poetry above all others and I am interested to see how that attitude is holding up in the globalizing market economy that has taken hold with a vengeance in VN over the last fifteen years of so. On a personal level, I feel a deep connection with the city of Hanoi. Unaccountably, living there I felt at home. Perhaps because I was free to be a flâneur, roaming the city at will & mostly without a need to do more than show up occasionaly at the offices of the publishing house where I was acting as an editor / consultant. In fact, all the freedom made me a little crazed at times, given to fits of obsessive compulsive walking. For a few weeks I went about in a kind of flaming daze, before returning to myself shortly before coming back to the states. Even that was lovely, in its way -- "I have a great capacity for joy," I repeated to myself incessantly as I walked the tree-lined streets and narrow back alleys of Thanh Long, the city of the rising dragon.
1 thought on "Vietnam"
congratulations. the poetry world will be richer by far by what you attempt, accomplish, envision.

Recognizes that not all incoming jobs are ready to print
An article entitled, "Computerizing Customer Service" in the July/August issue of The Big Picture looks at some possible long-term business benefits of implementing online job-submission capabilities, such as opportunities for content management and the procurement of related services. It sounds good on paper, but in actuality this long-range view seems to be light years ahead of how work is currently performed in the real world. For instance, considering how many different types of software are currently used to create documents for print, the vision of achieving a "one-touch workflow" with minimal human intervention sounds pretty utopian.
Here are a few products that take some of today's less-than-ideal, real-life scenarios into account while making it easier for your shop to efficiently process a higher number of multiple short-run jobs while reducing the costs and delays using courier services.
Unlimi-Tech's DocTera: For customers who don't want to use a third-party FTP prorgram, Unlimi-Tech Software offers DocTera, a JAVA-based file submission and job-management solution for the print industry. When customers submit their creative files for output, they can also enter specific job requirements such as quantity, type of paper, and delivery date.
"DocTera provides graphic designers, artists and office personnel with a single and powerful tool to interact with a print shop," said Unlimi-Tech president John Tkaczewski. "It's very easy to use and requires no prior knowledge of FTP."
To submit an order, customers simply visit the print provider's website and click on "Upload Files." This then launches DocTera in the viewer's Web browser where the customer logs in with a username and password. At this point, the customer fills out an html form detailing the requirements of the job. Creative files can then be uploaded using the file-upload applet embedded in DocTera. After data is verified and the creative files are uploaded, both the print shop and customer are sent e-mails confirming job details.
At the print shop, uploaded files are stored in a folder that already has a job-ticket number. Because the job details and artwork are stored in the same sub-folder, it eliminates guesswork on the part of the printer operator. DocTera has no restriction on the number of files that can be sent or on file sizes and can send files through any type of Internet connection. (Unlimi-tech Software:

Funny lady Kym Whitley is on a mission to teach single mothers and fathers that they don't have to raise their children alone.
"There is always a village to help you raise your child. Look around at your friends and have them make a commitment to the child, especially boys who don't have fathers," said Whitley an Ohio native who has appeared in "Next Friday," "The Nutty Professor II: The Clumps" and most recently appeared in NBC's "Animal Practice," and voices "Honeybee" on "Black Dynamite: The Animated Series" on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim.
She found that statement to be true when she was made into an instant single mother two years ago after one of the troubled young girls she mentored left the maternity ward after giving birth leaving only Whitley's contact information. She was thrown for a loop when the hospital called and informed her that her baby was ready. In a matter of hours, Whitley had to make the decision to become a parent.
"It was a shock. I had been knowing her for years and I had been mentoring her and I believe she knew I would be a good mother," she said.
Whitley knew she had testimony and parlayed the situation into one of four new reality shows on the OWN network.
"OWN has the same message that I have, which is to inspire and encourage. It's been a wonderful experience so far. It's easy to do because it's just my life," Whitley said. "With other shows I have been in you had to memorize lines but this is just my life."
"Raising Whitley" follows the comedic actress and her motley group of friends she calls "The Village" as they attempt to raise baby Joshua together. Over the season, Whitley survives Joshua's first haircut and, goes on a manhunt with her girlfriends.
The show, which premiered on April 20, is in the top five of OWN's shows. The first episode had two million viewers. The season finale is scheduled for June 15. The show is produced by Pilgrim Studios and executive produced by Whitley
