How do I use full-text indexing in SQL Server Compact
I'm new to SQL Server Compact, coming from MySQL and am wondering what is the best stategy to use full-text indexing within SQL Server Compact?
What I need is the fastest way to search through large datasets.
Do I just create specific full-text indices for the columns that I need (like I would do in MySQL), or are the some special techniques for SQL Server Compact, or as part of the .Net environment?
I'm not sure, if it's relevant, but I'm working with version 3.5 inside Visual Studio 2008 using C#.
any help or pointers are greatly appreciated!
thanks a lot...
All replies
SQL Server Compact does not support full-text indexing. You may prefer to use SQL Server Express for using full-text indexing.
SQL Server Express is free and can be downloaded from here : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=58CE885D-508B-45C8-9FD3-118EDD8E6FFF&displaylang=en
Thanks & Regards,

You suggested to use SQL Server Express (to make use of full-text indexing).
My development is on Windows CE based mobile device. Can I install SQL Server Express in Windows CE?
If not, how to do a full-text search/index in SQL Server Company Edition?
1. SQL Server Express can only be deployed on a Desktop machine. You may use SQL Client (installed with SQL Compact SDK) support to connect to a database on SQL Express.
Look int Directory:
%Program Files%\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v3.5\Devices\Client\wce500\[Processor]\*.cab files
2. "Full-Text" seach is not avaliable in SQL Compact.
3. What do you mean by "index in SQL Server Company Edition". SQL Compact supports creation of indexes.
Thanks & regards,
Devesh Anand

When we think of foods we love, we often think of the delicious scents that come with them. Fresh chocolate chip cookies are good, but it's the smell of them warm from the oven that makes them truly delicious. Apple pie is okay, but it's the way the aroma fills your home as it bakes that makes it extra special.
But there are some foods that are exceptions to the rule. These rare delicacies may be delicious, but olfactory pleasure they do not provide. In fact, some might say they straight up bring both the noise AND the funk.
We're coming at you with foods that could easily be confused with a teenage boy's gym bag. They may taste good, but they smell like a veritable barf sandwich. Check out our slideshow for which terrible smelling foods made the list, and where they rank on a scale of 0 to 10, 0 = "Did Someone Reheat Fish?" and 10 = "Who Pooped Into This Bag of Trash and Then Set It on Fire?"

I'm always on the lookout for delicious and healthy Weight Watchers Slow Cooker Recipes, because, let's face it, cooking in a crock pot pretty much rules. With a toddler at home and a baby in my tummy causing horrible morning sickness, I LOVE the idea of throwing some food in a pot and calling it dinner! This amazingly yummy Mushroom and Black Bean Crock Pot Recipe was so good! Loaded with flavor, spice and texture, this chili was way more enjoyable than I anticipated. It's also packed with protein and fiber, and very low in fat, giving it just 6 Points per serving. It's a great, healthy alternative to traditional Mexican foods, and still brings that authentic Mexican flavor. This is also a great dish to serve for a crowd or large party, and is sure to fool everyone into thinking it's fatteningly delicious!
Mushroom and Black Bean Crock Pot Chili Recipe
– 1 pound mushrooms, any variety, sliced
– 2 cans of black beans, drained and rinsed
– 5 1/2 cups fat free vegetable broth
– 2 medium onions, chopped
– 1 can corn kernels, drained and rinsed
– 1 large zucchini, chopped
– 8 ounces tomatillos, husked, rinsed and chopped
– 2 fresh jalapenos, seeded and finely chopped
– 1 6-ounce can tomato paste
– 1/4 cup water
– 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
– 1/4 cup mustard seeds

– 2 tbsp minced canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
– 1 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp black pepper
– 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
– 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
– 1/2 cup reduced fat sour cream
Combine oil, mustard seeds, chili powder, cumin and cardamom in a 5- to 6-quart Dutch oven. Place over high heat and stir until the spices sizzle, about 30 seconds. Add onions, garlic, mushrooms, corn, jalapenos, zucchini, tomatillos and water. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are juicy, 5 to 7 minutes. Uncover and stir often until the juices evaporate and the vegetables are lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Add broth, lime juice, tomato paste, salt & pepper and chipotles; mix well.
Place the beans in a 5- to 6-quart crock pot or slow cooker. Pour the hot vegetable mixture over the beans. Turn heat to high. Put the lid on and cook until the beans are creamy, 5 to 8 hours. Garnish with sour cream, cilantro and diced tomatoes right before serving
Entire recipe makes 10 servings
Serving size is 1 1/2 cups
Each serving = 6 Points

Once known as the "Oil Capital of the World," Tulsa, Oklahoma now boasts a diverse economic base, a population of nearly 400,000, and an enviable unemployment rate of 4%.1 Tulsa is the second-largest city in the state and is often referred to as the hub of arts and culture for Oklahoma. Residents can also enjoy recreation and scenery in the nearby Ozark Mountains and on the Arkansas River. For those hoping to join the dedicated Tulsa Police Department patrolling and protecting the city, the application process is outlined below.
Tulsa Police Officer Requirements
The minimum requirements to be considered for a job as a cop with the Tulsa Police Department (TPD) include an age between 21 and 45 and US citizenship. Applicants must also be free of any felony convictions and have a bachelor's degree with a minimum of a C+ average. Candidates must also demonstrate adequate vision and hearing to be able to perform the job requirements of a police officer.
The first step in applying for a position with the TPD is to fill out an extensive, online background information questionnaire. If the questionnaire demonstrates a candidate meets the minimum requirements, he or she may then take the written and physical fitness tests as invited by the TPD recruiting staff. Those who pass the tests may then be interviewed and offered conditional employment. New recruits must pass medical and psychological screenings and basic training before becoming sworn officers.
For more information about how to become a cop in a typical big city, see 10 Steps to Becoming a Police Officer on our home page. If you are ready to apply now, find specific application information at Tulsa Police Department – Recruiting.
Tulsa Police Department Information
The TPD serves a large city with 800 sworn officers as well as many civilian employees.2 The Department was first founded in 1905 and today consists of patrol officers as well as police working in specialty units including a motorcycle squad, K-9 unit, air patrol, and dive team. The men and women of the TPD are not just devoted to their duties; they are also stylish. The Department won the Best Dressed Law Enforcement Agency honor in 2006.
Tulsa Police Training Academy
The Tulsa Police Academy has been in operation since 1967 and today's location is a state-of-the-art training facility. New recruits must pass the 25-week rigorous training program as well as 16 weeks of subsequent field training before becoming sworn officers on the force. Current officers also receive 40 hours of in-service training through the Academy each year.
Tulsa Police Salary and Jobs Outlook
A new officer with the TPD earns a starting salary of $45,962 and begins earning as soon as the Academy begins.2 In addition to the salary, which can rise to $67,286 for a patrol officer, cops also receive several benefits.2 These include education and longevity pay, vacation and sick leave, medical and life insurance, and retirement benefits. The average salary for a cop in Tulsa is $44,920.3
Economic projections suggest that growth in law enforcement jobs in Oklahoma will be positive in the future. Predictions are that growth will be 15.8%, or an average of 400 new jobs every year, between now and 2022.4
How to Learn More about the Department and Crime in Tulsa
The TPD offers a few ways in which residents can get involved and learn more about the Department and crime in the city.

Photography Business Branding Essentials | Who Do You Think You Are? – Six Questions To Ask Before Branding Your Photography Business
Photography Business Branding Essentials | There's no denying that the competition in the photography industry is getting tougher with each passing day thanks to countless photographers joining the industry and launching their own businesses. And with that comes the challenge of standing out from the crowd of other shooters in your area or niche. But just because it's challenging, it doesn't mean it's impossible. With the right branding strategy and a bit of creativity, you can build a brand that not only stands out from the crowd, but turns potential clients into loyal fans for life!
Photography Business Branding Essentials | Website Design – www.medianovak.com
Many photographers we helped brand their businesses didn't initially think branding was for small businesses. However, unlike what most branding agencies would have you believe, branding is not reserved just for multi-million budgets. In fact, if you're willing to put in some time and effort, you can build a brand that stands out for all the right reasons, regardless of the size of your budget! Not sure where to begin? We have the answers to help you get your brand off the ground!
What Is A Brand? | Photography Business Branding Essentials
Let's get this straight – a brand is so much more than just your logo! Sure, the logo will oftentimes be the starting point when building a brand, and it will remain its backbone, but every way you reach your existing and potential clients from your logo to your marketing efforts, the services you provide and your customer service is your brand. Everything, every vehicle, every communication should have a purpose and send a clear message of who and what you are.
RELATED: Small Business Branding Principles | 6 Tips To Ignite Your Brand And Grow Your Photography Business
Who Is Your Target Audience? | Photography Business Branding Essentials
Just like it affected the equipment you had to get, your target audience will affect what kind of a brand you build for your photography business. If you still haven't, you need to clearly define your ideal client in terms of gender, age, location, and even finances. It is only when you know who your target audience is that you will be able to build a brand that appeals to them. After all, a brand that appeals to a middle-aged owner of a stock photography agency will never resonate with a bride-to-be or a new mom.
What's Your Name? | Photography Business Branding Essentials
Once you define your target audience, you will have a much better idea how to sort out the rest of your brand! First thing you'll need to take care of is the name of your business. You can either use your own name, or come up with a unique name – either way you go, make sure it's something you can live with, because changing the name later on can do more damage than you think by confusing potential clients and alienating the existing ones.
Then, you'll need to sort out a logo. There are three rather broad categories of logos – typographic, icons, and a combination of the two. While there are business that are using just a graphic, such as Twitter and Starbucks, we usually advise our clients to go either with a typographic logo or a combination of a typographic and an iconic logo when we're designing their visual identity for them. Twitter and Starbucks already spent millions of dollars on branding and marketing to build enough recognition to be able to drop the name out of their logo, and you probably can't afford to spend that much money on branding (just yet)!
What Does Your Brand Look Like? | Photography Business Branding Essentials
You probably already have a unique creative vision or a particular style of photography that ties together all of your images, but what if we told you that you can convey a sense of that style in your marketing materials even without using photography? Sure, you'll want to use each opportunity to showcase your pictures, but in situations that prevent you from using pictures, you can achieve the same effect by using a trick or two with colors and graphics.
RELATED: Custom Branding Design | The Photographer's Guide To Turning Branded Materials Into Works Of Art
After you define your target audience and design a logo that you know will appeal to them, you'll want to clearly define your branding guidelines. This means choosing a simple color scheme that matches the mood of your pictures and that you're going to use throughout your materials, both digital and printed, as well as fonts and graphics. By using the same element throughout your materials, you'll ensure they look and feel like they came from the same source, and boost brand awareness.
What Does Your Brand Sound Like? | Photography Business Branding Essentials
What you say is important – it's your brand message after all, your promise to your potential clients. However, don't overlook how you say it either! Just like with the visual consistency, you'll want to make sure you use the same voice throughout your materials, both online and off. The voice is the language and the tone you use when engaging your potential clients, whether you're composing a new tweet, writing a new blog post on your website, answering the phone, or greeting potential clients. If you use a laid back tone of voice on social media and a formal one on your website, it will only confuse your potential clients and make you sound unreliable.
Photography Business Branding Essentials | Website Design – www.medianovak.com
Are You Playing? | Photography Business Branding Essentials
It doesn't really matter what you say your brand is all about – it all comes down to what your existing and potential clients think of you! This is why it's important that you not only meet, but actually exceed client expectations. Don't say you're something you're not – there's nothing more damaging to a brand than unkept promises! Don't market yourself as a luxury brand if you're targeting budget-conscious customers.

Ayer Granite
(Lower Silurian and Upper Ordovician?)
Ayer Granite - Devens-Long Pond facies. Equigranular to porphyritic gneissic biotite granite and granodiorite. Ayer Granite is divided into the Clinton facies and the Devens-Long Pond facies (Gore, 1976). In addition, there are some masses not assigned to either facies that intrude Berwick Formation west and northwest of Lawrence, and that intrude Paxton and Oakdale Formations south of Worcester and west of probable southern continuation of Wekepeke fault. Radiometric ages obtained for facies of Ayer pose problems in assigning ages to unfossiliferous sedimentary rocks they intrude. Clinton facies has a well-defined U-Pb zircon age of 433 +/-5 Ma (Zartman and Naylor, 1984) that authors cite as Early Silurian; Devens-Long Pond facies has a similar age. This age greatly compresses the time available for deposition, burial, deformation, and metamorphism of Berwick and Paxton if these units are truly Silurian. Some of the Ayer not assigned to a facies may have been more properly correlated with Early Devonian Chelmsford Granite and muscovite-biotite granite at Millstone Hill. Bodies south of Worcester may be more properly correlated with Canterbury Gneiss of CT, which lies on strike with Ayer and has Early Devonian age of 329 +/-9 Ma (Zartman and Naylor, 1984). Zartman and Naylor (1984) believe Ayer Granite has same age range as Newburyport Complex. It is quite possible, based on textural and mineralogical differences that the two facies should be separate units, representing different magmatic events (Wones and Goldsmith, 1991).
Dedham Granite
(Proterozoic Z)
Dedham Granite - Gray granite to granodiorite more mafic than Zdgr north of Boston. Intrudes Zw, Zv. Extensive calc-alkaline plutons separated by Boston basin have long been mapped as Dedham. Those to the north of Boston and studied in this report, are referred to as Dedham North. Crystallization ages for the Dedham North suite (based on titanites and zircons) have been determined at 607+/-4 Ma, while ages for the Lynn are slightly younger at 596+/-3 Ma. Both are clearly part of the Late Proterozoic magmatic event. Dates on two samples from Sheffield Heights indicate that the diorite and granite are part of the Dedham North suite. The Dedham south and west of Boston has been dated at 630+/15 Ma (Zartman and Naylor, 1984). Dedham North Granite has a compositionally highly variable suite ranging from leucogranites to granodiorites, tonalites, and quartz diorite. The granites originated by partial melting of a sedimentary protolith, while the intermediate members show a mixing of granitic magma and mafic magma (Hepburn and others, 1993).

(Precambrian to Paleozoic)
Granodiorite of the Indian Head pluton - Light-gray to pinkish-gray, fine- to medium-grained biotite granodiorite, and gray fine-grained hornblende-biotite tonalite. Intrudes OZm.
Grant Mills Granodiorite
(Proterozoic Z)
Grant Mills Granodiorite - Medium- to coarse-grained porphyritic granodiorite. Gradational with Zegr.
Milford granite
(Proterozoic Z)
Milford Granite - Mafic phase. Gray, seriate to sub-porphyritic granite to granodiorite, mafic minerals tend to be in clots; locally gneissic. Intrudes Zb. Occupies an area of about 100 sq km. Central mass near Milford is elliptical and is divided into and mapped as a light-colored phase and a dark-colored phase; dark-colored phase defines an irregular border for largest of light-colored plutons. Intrudes Blackstone Group rocks and Ponaganset Gneiss, but was deformed with them at some later unknown time. Isotopic age of 630 +/-15 Ma was determined using U-Pb methods on zircon by Zartman and Naylor (1984). Characterized by salmon-pink color, bluish quartz on weathered surfaces, and lineations defined by lenticular mosaics of quartz and oriented patches of biotite; texture contrast strongly with that of Dedham Granite (Wones and Goldsmith, 1991).
Newburyport Complex
(Silurian or Ordovician)
Newburyport Complex - Gray, medium-grained tonalite and granodiorite. Newburyport Complex was divided into two facies, tonalitic granodiorite and granite, by Shride (1971). Tonalitic facies was originally termed Newburyport Quartz Diorite and included dioritic rocks north of Clinton-Newbury fault zone that are now called Sharpners Pond Diorite in Nashoba zone, and Topsfield Granodiorite in Milford-Dedham zone. These correlations are no longer tenable due to differences in age and composition. Therefore, Newburyport Complex is restricted to the two facies present in Newburyport area. Rocks formerly mapped as Newburyport Quartz Diorite and Salem Gabbro-Diorite, except for gabbros at Salem Neck, MA, are included in undifferentiated diorite and gabbro unit (Zdigb) on MA State Geologic Map (Zen and others, 1983), largely because they could not be mapped separately at 1:250,000 scale. Unit Zdigb also includes mafic dikes and sills that are probably younger or contemporaneous. Most of the dioritic rocks northeast of Boston previously assigned to Newburyport Quartz Diorite are now assigned to an undifferentiated diorite unit (Zdi) on MA State Geologic Map. Newburyport Complex forms a large mass near Newburyport and a small one to its west, both truncated by Clinton-Newbury fault. Tonalite and granodiorite facies occupies core of Newburyport Complex at Newburyport and is intruded to the north by granite facies; described as medium to dark gray in fresh rock, weathering to both green and red, fine to medium grained, and highly variable in mineralogy. A U-Pb zircon age of 455 +/-15 Ma was determined by Zartman and Naylor (1984) for the tonalite. Granite facies intrudes both the Kittery Formation and the tonalite and granodiorite facies and covers an area of about 45 sq km. Described as light gray to dark gray, buff weathering, and porphyritic. No radiometric ages available for granite facies, but it is conceivable that the two facies are different in age. [Papers presented as chapters in U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1366 are intended as explanations and (or) revisions to MA State bedrock geologic map of Zen and others (1983) at scale of 1:250,000.] (Wones and Goldsmith, 1991).

Intrudes unnamed diorite and gabbro unit, and unnamed mafic and felsic metavolcanic rocks. Bounded on northwest by faults bordering Newbury and Middleton basins and by northwest extensions of Bloody Bluff (and Mystic?) faults, and on southeast by a splay(?) of Bloody Bluff fault. Probably overlain by Silurian and Devonian Newbury Volcanic Complex (Dennen, 1975), but contact is now a fault. Although not radiometrically dated, considered to be Proterozoic Z in age because it is similar in mineralogy to Dedham Granite and it intrudes Proterozoic Z mafic complex (Wones and Goldsmith, 1991).

Mainly massive. Includes rock mapped formerly as Grant Mills Granodiorite.
Narragansett Pier Plutonic Suite - granite
Narragansett Pier Plutonic Suite - granite - Dark-pink to pale-gray, medium-grained equigranular granite, with lesser granodiorite and quartz monzonite. Composed of microcline, oligoclase, quartz, and accessory biotite, magnetite, ilmenite, apatite, sphene, zircon, monazite, apatite, and allanite; muscovite and garnet locally present; secondary chlorite and calcite. Mainly massive, but locally exhibits faint flow foliation. Cut locally by abundant pegmatite, aplite, and composite aplite-pegmatite of mineralogy similar to the host granite. Unit is a 5 km by 40 km batholith that underlies the southern coast of RI. Intrusion during the latter part of Alleghanian deformation of the Narragansett Basin is indicated by its Permian age, rapid cooling, and field relations. The age of the Narragansett Pier is well constrained by several factors. Brown and others (1978) report a Pennsylvanian fossil contained in an inclusion in the pluton. Radiometric ages of 276 Ma by Kocis and others (1978), 272+/-4 Ma by Hermes and others (1981), and 273+/-2 Ma by Zartman and Hermes (1987) are consistently Early Permian. Structural studies by Mosher (1983) and Reck and Mosther (1988) indicate that intrusion began during the third period of deformation in the Narragansett Basin. Argon release patterns (Dallmeyer, 1982) indicate that the granite and intruded sediments had cooled below argon retention temperatures of hornblende by the Late Permian and of biotite by the Early Triassic. Intruded by the Westerly Granite, which has been radiometrically dated at 276+/-7 Ma. The two granites are probably genetically related based on similarities in age, mineralogy, and geochemistry (Hozik, 1992).
Scituate Igneous Suite - granodiorite

Last term, the Library, Student Services (Learning and Inclusion Team), Careers and CELAW ran a number of workshops together designed to help Goldsmiths students develop first class academic and writing skills.
These sessions were so successful that we have decided to run them across the Spring term. Each session will be run four times, so there will be plenty of opportunities to attend the sessions you're interested in.
Attend one or all of these workshops to learn about:
- How to get the most out of lectures and seminars
- Research skills and effective use of learning materials
- How to plan and write great essays
- How to use the library and online resources to research
Enhancing Academic Skills workshops are free and open to all Goldsmiths students. Please see below for the dates, times and rooms for each workshop.
With the Academic Skills Certificate you can gain recognition for enhancing your academic skills. The certificate can be achieved through attendance at workshops and reflection on the learning and skills gained.

Self-Servatives Need Not Apply
New logo needed for Tories, see my Facebook Group 'New Tory Logo'
Back in wet North Ken, but still reflecting on how Spain's Partido Popular (right wing opposition) has been ripped to shreds by a series of political scandals that has brought down mayors (murder of predecessor) Councillors (planning backhanders) and presidents of various regions (bribery and corruption, one going down for 15 years), plus dubious party donations from construction companies.
The accused, according to El Pais, 'deny everything, belittle expert findings, and find a group of misfits to blame'. Given also the gradual collapse of Berlusconi's 'Party of Love' - or rather, of financial self-interest - and Nick Clegg's blatant trading of principles for power, and you wonder why any person of integrity would want to enter politics at present.
So, how do we get the 'right people' to come forward? Should we put on their application form: 'Do you agree with the following statement: "I wish to help others, not to help myself" ?'.
Our ConDem government, in true Tory style, punishes the victims of social injustice while rewarding, with tax breaks and other incentives, the businessmen and bankers who have perpetrated it. In the meantime, Cameron's 'Big Society' - called by El Pais 'pompous and entirely free of meaningful detail' - relies on public-spirited citizens to fill the boots of 'redundant' public sector workers. Why would anyone want to join Cameron's volunteer army? Can the job spec state: Self-servatives need not apply?

Now that you have made the decision to get a quality education you have to figure out how to pay for it! Insert student loan here! Take it from me, a non-traditional student that racked up a hefty student loan bill, do everything you can to get that student loan reduced because you will be paying for it for a very long time. You don't want to be strapped down by a large monthly loan bill. Wouldn't you rather use that money for other things like a new home, a great vacation with friends or upgraded vehicle?
Lucky for you, you're coming into education at a time when there are abundant resources to help you pay for your education. All you have to do is go find it! A well-written essay can bring in thousands of dollars, trust me! I'm going to share with you my tips on getting your application to the top of the scholarship pile.
They say the early bird gets the worm and they're right. If you are graduating high school in May, don't wait until April to start looking for scholarships. You need to start at the beginning of your senior year, sometimes even your junior year. Scholarship periods vary, but if you get started early you increase your chances of getting a scholarship.
If you come across a section of the application that says optional to complete, this is a test. It's not optional. The purpose of putting it as an option is to see how many will take the time to fill out that section. If you are willing to put in the time, so is the person that will be reading your scholarship application. If you chose not to fill it out, then you are running the risk of costing yourself that scholarship. Even if you have a 4.0 GPA, it is still not optional. A great GPA or ACT isn't enough, you need to give them what they are asking for, even if they leave the choice up to you.
You need to treat each scholarship application like it is an interview for a job. Why should they pick you over the other thousands of students that they will be looking at? You need to be prepared to answer this question and then some. I recommend creating a word document that has a couple of paragraphs about yourself. You will want a long version and a condensed version. In your essay talk about your accomplishments, awards you have received, student organizations you have served on, volunteer service, work experience and career goals. Reviewers of scholarships are looking for people who are driven, ambitious and have a desire to succeed. They are looking for people with a clear career plan and will likely stay in school and complete the program. In your essay, you need to communicate your commitment to your education.
If you don't have any work experience, volunteer experience or served on a student organization, that's ok. It's never too late to get involved in your community. In your essay, write about your plans to volunteer. They key though is follow through. You must do what you say you will do, or you will lose the opportunity for future funding. Remember that helping a neighbor, a family or a friend is still volunteering. If this is something that you are doing, then write about it.
Not every life lived is a fairytale with a happy ending. Many people go through struggles in life and that's ok. It is ok to ask others for help. It is ok to share what struggles you have been through and how receiving a scholarship would impact your life story. Maybe you are a single mom, have a parent that is deployed or have parents that have struggled to make ends meet. Whatever the case may be, don't be afraid to open up a little in your essay. Donating and granting money is a very emotional act. A reviewer is more likely to donate because of your personal story rather than you school accolades. Don't get me wrong your school success is still important, but the emotional side to your story could have a much larger impact.
If you haven't had major challenges or struggles in your life that's ok too! You don't have to go through this to deserve a scholarship. In this situation, you would celebrate your story! Bring out the joy, happiness and encouragement that you have received to get you to where you are in life! Communicate that receiving a scholarship would be the thanks that you have always wanted to give back to your family for the wonderful life they have provided you. You still need to tap into the emotion of the reviewer, so leave them feeling inspired when they read your essay.
Avoid any political topics in your essay. There are other platforms to share your political views, but this is not one of them!
It is best to have someone review your essay and check it for spelling and grammar. Save a copy of your long and short essay in a word document that you can cut and paste into each application. Always keep a copy of each application so that you can refer back to it if you need to. You will also want to send a follow up after you complete it.
We live in a digital world where information about you is available by typing your name into Google. This is why it is important for your virtual profile to match the one on paper. You need to clean up your social media accounts. Remove any posts or pictures that you would not want a potential employer to see, because chances are they will! Reviewers will also look at your profile because they are choosing you to represent them and they want to make sure that you will do so in an appropriate, professional manner.
Applying for scholarships can be tedious, however if you already have your story crafted and ready to go in a word document, it will make filling out multiple applications easier. Find as many scholarships as you can and apply for them. This increases your chance of receiving scholarship funds. At Southeast Tech, we have over 226 scholarships to award each year! We are a great resource but you do have to be an accepted student to apply. We also publish third party scholarship opportunities. Some other great resources include; your local city government, high school, community foundation, or service organizations. If you know your career path already look at companies that fit within your career path, many of them offer scholarships. Don't forget to ask your parents about scholarships with their employer as well.
Whenever you can, send a follow up thank you note for the opportunity to apply for the scholarship. If you get awarded the scholarship, then be sure to write a thank you! This is the second most important part of scholarships. It reiterates your commitment to your education and reassures the reviewer they made a good choice in selecting you to receive the scholarship.
If you follow these tips you will dramatically increase your chances of getting awarded multiple scholarships and reducing your overall student debt. All of your hard work will pay off, literally. Good luck!

Two new national groups, the Task Force for A Broader, Bolder Approach to Education and the Education Equality Project, have denounced the No Child Left Behind Law as a failure and called for a new course for education that will bring about equal opportunity and educational excellence for the neediest students.
A June ad in the New York Times and Washington Post submitted by the task force group calls on policy makers to replace the No Child Left Behind Law with a program that can really close the achievement gap. The 60 signers are prominent leaders in education, health, civil rights, religion, social policy and government and represent different political views.
Helen Ladd, professor of public policy studies at Duke University and Tom Payzant, a professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a former Boston Schools superintendent and U.S. assistant secretary of education, are two of the group's co-chairs. Others connected with the task force include Julian Bond, Janet Reno, Diane Ravitch, Rev. Dr. Michael Kinnamon, Joycelyn Elders, Linda Darling-Hammond and Richard Rothstein – all well known public figures.
The task force states that five decades of research documents a powerful association between social and economic disadvantage and low achievement. Its position is that school improvement strategies by themselves, though absolutely necessary, cannot close the achievement gap between underachieving, disadvantaged students and those who succeed academically. Reducing social and economic disadvantages, the group says, can increase achievement.
Pedro Noguera, another task force co-chair and executive director of the Metropolitan Center for Urban Affairs and a New York University sociology professor said, "After six years, it is clear that No Child Left Behind has not succeeded in improving the quality of education available to America's neediest children. This task force is united around the need for a more comprehensive approach to federal policy that specifically responds to the needs of children and schools in low income areas."
"Schools can't do it alone," said Ladd, adding, "Accountability is a pillar of our education system, but schools need the support of the community both before children arrive at school and during their school years."
"The task force is calling for a partnership and a sturdier bridge across schools, public health and social services," said Payzant. "When we ensure our children's most basic needs, then we can apply the highest of standards to all of our students."
The group's specific proposals include:
• Continued school improvement efforts by reducing class size, hiring high quality teachers in hard-to-staff schools, improving teacher and school leadership training and by providing college preparatory curriculum to all students with special attention to recent immigrants.
• Developmentally appropriate and high quality early childhood, pre-school and kindergarten care and education.
• Routine pediatric, dental, hearing and vision care for all infants, toddlers and school children and full service health clinics in schools.
• Improving the quality of students' out-of-school time and increased investment in longer school days, after-school programs, summer programs and school-to-work programs with demonstrated track records of success.
"We urge policymakers to embrace this broader, bolder approach to education and enable all our children to pursue the American dream," the ad reads.
The Education Equality Project recently held a press conference at which New York City Schools Chancellor Joel Klein and civil rights leader Rev. Al Sharpton joined prominent educators and lawmakers in strongly criticizing public schools in the United States for shortchanging poor Black and Latino students.
The group called the achievement gap between white students and Black and Latino students the nation's most pressing civil rights issue. Unfortunately, the group cited teachers' union contracts as one of the major contributors to the achievement gap.
Washington D.C. Schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee noted that in her city, children who attend schools in affluent neighborhoods get a "wildly different" education than students in the same school system who live in poorer neighborhoods but she too bought into the idea that teachers' unions bear part of the blame.
Randy Weingarten, president of the United Federation of Teachers, actively supports the efforts of the task force group but has been critical of the anti-union approach taken by the Education Equality Project, which has criticized even the Obama campaign for not being strong enough on education. Obama has called for many of the things the task force says are important, but unlike the other group, he has also called for good pay and benefits for teachers who staff the public schools. Weingarten has said she welcomes Sharpton's involvement in education struggles but has questioned why he would ally himself with the New York City schools chancellor against teachers, especially since the chancellor does not have a reputation as a fighter for public education.

How Does a Marijuana Lawyer Do His Job? - *Listen to Working via **Apple Podcasts**, **Overcast**, **Spotify**, * *Stitcher**, or **Google Play**.*
1 hour ago
"Republicans got the tax cuts they wanted. They got the financial deregulation they wanted. They got the wars they wanted. They got the unfunded spending increases they wanted. And the results were completely, unrelentingly disastrous. A decade of sluggish growth and near-zero wage increases. A massive housing bubble. Trillions of dollars in war spending and thousands of American lives lost. A financial collapse. A soaring long-term deficit. Sky-high unemployment. All on their watch and all due to policies they eagerly supported. And worse: ever since the predictable results of their recklessness came crashing down, they've rabidly and nearly unanimously opposed every single attempt to dig ourselves out of the hole they created for us."Here's the whole/short piece, from Mother Jones: What if You Held a Class War and No One Showed Up?

Producer: Jupiterevents, a division of Jupitermedia Corp., Darien, Conn.
What: Search engine marketing and optimization
Date: Dec.13-16, 2004
Where: McCormick Place, Lakeside Center, Chicago
No. of attendees: 2,595
No. of exhibitors: 59
No. of attendees in 2003: 1,945
No. of exhibitors in 2003: 41
Producer comment: "The Chicago show is a good-sized show," said Alan Meckler, chairman-CEO at Jupitermedia. "We had 44% exhibitor growth and 33% attendee growth over 2003, so I can't be more pleased. The great sign is the exhibitors who've already signed up for 2005 in Chicago are close to [the same number as the 2004 show] and we still have 10 months to go. Local search was a big area of focus at this show."
Exhibitor comment: "Chicago has always been a strong b-to-b marketplace, and we recently opened an office there," said Todd Sims, VP-sales at Business.com, a b-to-b search engine. "The region itself is super important to us, and a show like this ... is a must-attend event. [The SES show] includes major players, middle-tier folks and up-and-comers in the space. There seems to be a lot more activity in the Midwest region in the SES space [than in other regions]. We came in and closed a bunch of deals throughout the show."
Breakdown: Launched in 1999, several SES conferences are produced annually in several U.S. cities, as well as in Europe and Asia. The search industry is growing exponentially, and SES has become the must-attend show for executives involved in search engine marketing. Seven SES Conferences are slated to be held in 2005.

Hadoop Takes Innovation Prize
| | Bookmark
This week Hadoop won an award, continued its development and learned of a new competitor.
The Guardian awarded Apache Hadoop with its "Innovator of the Year" award as part of the MediaGuardian Innovation Awards in London. Described as the "Swiss Army Knife of the 21st century," the judges believed Hadoop was a greater catalyst for innovation than other nominees, which included the iPad and WikiLeaks, The Guardian reports.
The improvements will not only be welcomed, but are needed. MapR Technologies is "engineering game changing Map/Reduce related technologies" that will look to rival Hadoop, says GigaOM.

Efforts should be made to "ease the tense situation and avoid acceleration of confrontations and conflicts in an alternative way," Xinhua quoted Xi as telling visiting United Nations secretary general Ban Ki-moon.
Xi's comments come at a time of renewed concern over an escalation of the conflict in eastern Ukraine. That could mean stronger economic sanctions against Russia from Europe and the United States — and harsher retaliation from Moscow.
China is a key economic and political ally of Russia, and the two countries recently signed a $400 billion gas supply deal.
The shooting-down of a Malaysian plane in eastern Ukraine showed that "it is important and imperative to properly address the Ukraine crisis," Xi said, saying that efforts should be made to prevent Ukraine from falling into a humanitarian crisis.
All parties should work towards a political solution and "negotiate for a program that could take into consideration the interests of all parties in a balanced manner at an early date", Xi said.
Ban was quoted by Xinhua as saying that a political solution, rather than the use of force, is the only right way to resolve the Ukraine issue.

It's Ombré, Hombre.
It's hot. It's happening. It's colorific fantastickness (it is so a word) that's all over everything fashionable. That includes weddings.
It's ombré. It's everywhere. In case you need to know exactly what we're talking about?
— ombré noun
Having colors or tones that shade into each other —used especially of fabrics in which the color is graduated from light to dark.
Here's some more examples…
Rose petals down the aisle. Thanks to The Martha.
As a backdrop, via here.
Tea-stained escort cards.
Invitations via Etsy seller Whitney Rae Paper.
Ombré bouquet from Lauryl Lane Botanical Stylist.
A little ombré fascinator I'm working on for TruLu Couture.
Love the simplicity of this pretty little cake via Balancing Bites.
White to dark ivory wedding gown via NY Mag.
One thing about the look is: don't ombré do it. You don't want everything to be ombré . Choose an aspect – like all your paper products. Or the flowers. You might also consider a few separate things, like the cake and the invitations, using a color or two plus an accent as a whole story. Remember, it's FIVE COLORS!
And remember the definition? It's light to dark. That doesn't mean a rainbow. People are calling stuff ombré that not's really ombré.
I'm just sayin'.
Be careful with the color choice, keep it simple. Less is more in this case! You can follow a trend without being trendy.
What do y'all think? I'm loving the really soft ombré, not so much the bright stuff.

MILWAUKEE — One brewer at this weekend's 4th annual Brewfest in Milwaukee stands out for its greenness.
Jim McCabe uses 28 rooftop solar panels in the brewing process at his Milwaukee Brewing Company. A sign outside his place in the city's Third Ward says "Milwaukee's 1st Solar Brewery."
The solar panels help heat the water to just the right temperature for brewing. Owner Jim McCabe and his master brewer combine the warm water with barley to break down the starches to sugar.
And, it doesn't stop with solar power. WUWM radio (http://bit.ly/19mJW1O ) reports McCabe says a local steel company repurposes his empty malt stacks and the urban farm organization Growing Power uses the brewer's mounds of spent grain for compost.

Sampletekk Cin-B Shaped Grand Piano KONTAKT EXS24 SFZ | 554 Mb
The CIN series are made to be easy to use instrument that will inspire you, straight out of the box. No bells or whistles, just load them and play! The bells and whistles have already been applied, by us.
The CIN-B is a hybrid. We took a Grand Piano and morphed in the attack part from a Harpsichord. since the Harpsichord works with plucked strings, and also has a bright, almost brittle timbre, the tone produced in the CIN-B is totally unique. We then layered the sound with a mellotron mixed choir, most prominent in the lower velocities, so when played softly, the choir part is more in front, but when you hit it harder, the choir just gives a slight dreamy mist over the tone.
The samples have been processed using some cool vintage outboard and even resampled using a 1/4 inch analog tape machine. To add extra warmth and glue everything together. The result: A instrument that sounds like no other piano you've heard, that delivers a sound that we hope will inspire you as soon as you get it under your fingertips. Not much to tell, really. Load it, play it, and hopefully you will find it as fun to play, as it was to produce. Included in the download package is: Kontakt, HALion, EXS24 and SFZ (even if it doesn't say so....), so you can use this with the free sampleplayer Sforzando.
