HIGH POINT, N.C. -- Conference Carolinas head softball coaches voted Mount Olive College as their preseason poll favorite for the 2010 season.
Mount Olive enters the 2010 season as the only Conference Carolinas team to finish in the top three in both the regular season standings and the conference tournament in each of the last three years. The Trojans were 25-18-1 overall last year and finished second in the regular season standings with an 11-5 mark, one game out of first place. The Trojans placed third in the conference tournament after a runner-up finish in 2008.
The Trojans bring back three pitchers who combined for 20 wins last year and who each posted an earned run average under 2.30. Kristin Ware (8-5, 2.07 ERA), Sasha Snyder (6-2, 2.14) and Sarah Saunders (6-5, 2.28) combined for a .625 winning percentage and five of the Trojans' seven shutouts last year. Snyder was named to the All-Conference second team.
Mount Olive also brings back experience behind the plate and throughout the infield, led by All-Conference Carolinas first team shortstop Kelly Minshew. Minshew batted .336 and was among the nation's leaders with 15 doubles. Defensively, she recorded a .950 fielding percentage. Third baseman Allison Czerski batted .278 last season and was named to the All-Tournament Team at the conference tournament. Second baseman Katie Nalley is third among returning players in runs batted. Catcher/first baseman Robbin Kennedy led the Trojans in RBI last year. Mount Olive should also get offensive punch from first basemen/designated hitters Aubrey Reinhard and Erika Taylor, both of whom missed all or most of last year due to injury.
The Trojans will see new faces in the outfield after graduating starters in left, center and right. Anna Munizza, whose three-run double capped a seven-run sixth inning and rallied Mount Olive from a 6-0 deficit in a win over nationally ranked Shippensburg last season, opened the 2009 as the Trojans' leadoff batter and starting centerfielder before being sidelined with an injury.
The Queens University of Charlotte softball team earned the number two spot in the Conference Carolinas preseason coaches' poll this year. In 2009, Queens defeated Coker for the Conference Carolinas Championship, earning an automatic bid to the NCAA regional tournament. Queens was a strong representative for the Conference, as they fought their way to the semi-final game. In the opening game of the Regional Tournament, the Royals fell 2-0 to the No. 1 team in the nation, North Georgia who eventually went on to the Division II World Series.
The Royals, who have been selected No. 2 in the Coaches' Preseason Poll, graduated three seniors, but Head Coach Stacey Schramm hit the recruiting trail hard to fill the voids. Three junior transfers: Maria Goode, Brandy Jester, and Ashley Wilson will help provide leadership and experience to the remaining five returning upperclassmen. Six freshmen have also been added to provide depth in all areas.
Queens returns starting pitchers Chantel Dodge and Brittany Stephens. In 2009, Dodge was a Second Team All-Region performer and tenth in the nation in strikeouts. In addition, Jester and freshman Kelsey Newberg will strengthen and solidify the pitching staff. The Royals open the season on February 10 at Georgia College and State University.
Pfeiffer University has been picked to finish third during the 2010 softball season as voted on by the league's coaches. The Lady Falcons finished last year 26-17 overall, 12-6 inside conference play, finishing third in 2009. Pfeiffer returns their No.1 pitcher from last season, as well as their lead-off hitter, along with adding depth all over the field.
Starter Allison Braswell returns for her junior season after leading the Lady Falcons pitching staff with an 11-8 record and a 2.74 earned run average in 23 appearances. The right-hander completed 13 of those 23 games started limiting opponents to a .220 batting average. Senior Kylee Nichols returns to the leadoff spot for the Lady Falcons after hitting .321 a year ago with 45 hits. Nichols also added one homerun and 15 RBI swiping seven of eight bases. Junior transfer Sarah Waylock will help Pfeiffer add depth in the batting order and provide solid defense in the hot corner in 2010. Waylock hit .355 in 55 games, committing just ten errors at third base, playing with Heartland Community College. Freshman Amber Johnson will look to make an immediate impact patrolling the outfield while providing pop in the batting order.
Rounding out the softball preseason poll 4-11 was: Limestone, Coker, Erskine, Barton, Anderson, St. Andrews, Lees-McRae and Belmont Abbey respectively.

What if the entire community read the same book at the same time? Read and discuss Luis Alberto Urrea's Into the Beautiful North with people of all walks of life.
Dear Kalamazoo:
Ever since leaving your fine city and your excellent Reading Together program events, my wife and I have been talking about you. To each other. To bookstores. To other writers. We hold you up as a model to other all-city read programs. No question Kalamazoo does it right.
It's a rare and wonderful thing for an author to share his work with such a cross-section of a community as I did with Kalamazoo. To be able to meet with readers is always grand, but to be welcomed as a friend by so many, across such different platforms was an incredible experience. I know you appreciate the amazing work of your librarians and the Reading Together committee that made it all possible because you were so warm and responsive. We never ran out of things to talk about! I was only disappointed to not be able to attend ALL the events.
I was especially touched by the artwork done by the high school students and showcased in your spectacular library. I will be posting pictures of some of that work. As an artist, to inspire other artists is a dream come true. It also meant so much to me to have the support of my friend (and your own literary heroine) Bonnie Jo Campbell. A special thanks to you for inviting her to be involved with your program. That shows a great literary commitment all the way through your community.
I was especially heartened by the fact that you forged a bond with Kankakee, IL. I think the the future is being written by towns like Kankakee and Kalamazoo and I am so honored that my novel could play a part.
On a personal note, I just have to say that your librarians and staff people were spectacular. I enjoyed every minute of your company. I deeply appreciated your generosity and I have to say doing an event in front of a few hundred kindergartners was probably the coolest tour experience of the last year!
Thank you to Karen Santamaria and everyone on the Reading Together committee. Thank you for selecting my novel Into the Beautiful North, thank you for reading, and most of all, thank you for your friendship and support. Hope to see you again soon!
Loyally, Luis Alberto Urrea
P.S. Oh yeah, best donuts we ever had, too!

As one who hasn't watched many classic Westerns, I didn't have set expectations about Friday's screening of the 1960 classic The Magnificent Seven at the Kalamazoo Valley Museum's Stryker Theater. However, from the first strains of the iconic soundtrack's main theme, I was 100 percent on board with the story and soon, understood how the movie inspired the characters of Into the Beautiful North.
The film's simple storyline is captivating, but add to it Yul Brynner's unflinching gaze, stage presence and solid stature buttoned into his close-cut black denim-and-leather western wear, I understood Aunt Irma's infatuation with "Mexico's greatest film star." Steve McQueen held his own with his sapphire blue eyes, confident wily smile and social-justice motivations.
For me, viewing the film after reading Into the Beautiful North added to my enjoyment of both film and novel. I recommend this PG-rated film to anyone looking for an escapist classic Western adventure, but especially to those who have read Into the Beautiful North. Check your library's catalog for the DVD of The Magnificent Seven and invite a friend over to watch it.

Looking for a modern, simple and easy to read surf report website? Well… you might be pleased to hear that we've just stumbled upon a new surf and wind forecast site named SwellCast.
The site has been developed by a web developer in Perth who is a keen surfer himself and just could not stand the boring looking weather and surf reports available on the net. We don't blame him… it certainly was time for a change.
Swellcast currently features australian locations only and is planning to cover some international surfing spots in the near future.
The swell data is updated every 6 hours and also includes live wind readings updated every 30 minutes, which is a pretty handy thing as we believe.
An iPhone and iPad App is also available which can be purchased on the iTunes website. The price currently is $1.99.
Another feature that will be added to the site is a customisable surf alert where you can set your specific conditions, like wind direction, swell hight & swell period and will receive an alert only when your conditions are met.
So, next time you are planning a trip to the Gold Coast and don't konw what the surf will be like, check the Gold Coast surf report on Swellcast and know beforehand what to expect.
If you want to find out more about Swellcast and check the lastest surf reports, visit Swellcast.com.au.
As you might guess…we are big fans already. But what do you think? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Lewis and Clark Expedition, (1804–06), U.S. military expedition, led by Capt. Meriwether Lewis and Lieut. William Clark, to explore the Louisiana Purchase and the Pacific Northwest. The expedition was a major chapter in the history of American exploration.
Commissioning and preparation
On January 18, 1803, U.S. Pres. Thomas Jefferson sent a secret message to Congress asking for $2,500 to send an officer and a dozen soldiers to explore the Missouri River, make diplomatic contact with Indians, expand the American fur trade, and locate the Northwest Passage (the much-sought-after hypothetical northwestern water route to the Pacific Ocean). The proposed trip took on added significance on May 2, when the United States agreed to the Louisiana Purchase—Napoleon's sale of 828,000 square miles (2,100,000 square km) of French territory for $27 million. Jefferson, who had already sponsored several attempts to explore the West, asked his personal secretary, Meriwether Lewis, to lead the expedition. Lewis was dispatched to Philadelphia for instruction in botany, celestial navigation, medicine, and zoology. He also purchased supplies and spent $20 on a Newfoundland dog, Seaman.
Lewis procured weapons at Harpers Ferry, Virginia (now in West Virginia), supervised the construction of a 55-foot (17-metre) keelboat, and secured smaller vessels, in addition to designing an iron-framed boat that could be assembled on the journey. As his co-commander he selected William Clark, who had been his military superior during the government's battles with the Northwest Indian Federation in the early 1790s. The U.S. secretary of war denied Lewis's request of a shared command, but Captain Lewis and Lieutenant Clark chose to address one another as "captain" to hide this fact from the other members of the expedition. For his part, Clark recruited men in Kentucky, oversaw their training that winter at Camp River Dubois in Illinois, and served as the expedition's principal waterman and cartographer.
Expedition from May 14, 1804, to October 16, 1805
Over the duration of the trip, from May 14, 1804, to September 23, 1806, from St. Louis, Missouri, to the Pacific Ocean and back, the Corps of Discovery, as the expedition company was called, traveled nearly 8,000 miles (13,000 km). The entourage, numbering about four dozen men, covered 10 to 20 miles (16 to 32 km) a day—poling, pushing, and pulling their 10-ton keelboat and two pirogues (dugout boats) up the Missouri River. Lewis's iron-framed boat was later assembled and covered with skins near Great Falls (in present-day Montana) but had to be abandoned because the seams leaked and there was no pitch to seal them. The captains and at least five others kept journals. President Jefferson had instructed Lewis to make observations of latitude and longitude and to take detailed notes about the soil, climate, animals, plants, and native peoples. Lewis identified 178 plants new to science, including bitterroot, prairie sagebrush, Douglas fir, and ponderosa pine, as well as 122 animals, such as grizzly bear, prairie dog, and pronghorn antelope. The scientific names Philadelphus lewisii (mock orange), Lewisia rediva (bitterroot), and Clarkia pucella (pink fairy, or ragged robin) are but three examples of the men's discoveries. The expedition encountered immense animal herds and ate well, consuming one buffalo, two elk, or four deer per day, supplemented by roots, berries, and fish. They named geographic locations after expedition members, peers, loved ones, and even their dog (Seaman's Creek). They experienced dysentery, venereal disease, boils, tick bites, and injuries from prickly pear, yet only one man perished over the course of the journey.
Another primary objective involved diplomacy with Native Americans. The expedition held councils with Indians, in which the corps had military parades, handed out peace medals, flags, and gifts, delivered speeches, promised trade, and requested intertribal peace. There also was something of a magic show (magnets, compasses, and Lewis's air gun) and an invitation for Indian representatives to travel to Washington, D.C. Most tribes welcomed trading opportunities and provided the expedition with food, knowledge, guides, shelter, sex, and entertainment. The Lakota (encountered in South Dakota), however, already had British commercial ties and did not view American competition favourably, especially because it would make their enemies stronger. Their attempt to prevent the expedition from continuing upstream nearly turned violent, but Chief Black Buffalo's diplomacy defused the situation.
The expedition arrived at the Mandan and Hidatsa villages near present-day Bismarck, North Dakota, and constructed Fort Mandan in which to spend the winter. The captains prepared maps, artifacts, mineral samples, plant specimens, and papers to send back in the spring. On April 7, 1805, a small crew departed on a St. Louis-bound keelboat laden with boxes of materials for Jefferson that included live magpies and a prairie dog. Meanwhile, the permanent party proceeded up the Missouri in six canoes and two pirogues. It now consisted of 33 people, including soldiers, civilians, Clark's slave York, and two newly hired interpreters—a French Canadian, Toussaint Charbonneau, and his Shoshone wife, Sacagawea, who had given birth to a boy, Jean Baptiste, that February. The departure scene was described by Lewis in his journal:
This little fleet altho' not quite so rispectable as those of Columbus or Capt. Cook were still viewed by us with as much pleasure as those deservedly famed adventurers ever beheld theirs…we were now about to penetrate a country at least two thousand miles in width, on which the foot of civillized man had never trodden; the good or evil it had in store for us was for experiment yet to determine, and these little vessells contained every article by which we were to expect to subsist or defend ourselves.
On June 2, 1805, the expedition party arrived at a fork in the river. Not knowing which waterway was the principal stream, they sent out reconnaissance parties up both forks. Although the evidence was not conclusive, the captains believed the south fork to be the major course while everyone else favoured the north. Lewis named the north fork Maria's River (now Marias River) and instructed the party to continue up the south fork. This choice proved correct when the expedition arrived at the Great Falls almost two weeks later. An 18-mile (29-km) portage around the falls was made even more difficult by broken terrain, prickly pear cactus, hailstorms, and numerous grizzly bears. On July 4, 1805, the party finished the portage and, to celebrate Independence Day, consumed the last of their 120 gallons of alcohol and danced into the night.
Arriving at the Three Forks of the Missouri River (the confluence of the Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin rivers), Sacagawea recognized Beaverhead Rock and informed the others they would soon encounter some Shoshones. Lewis climbed Lemhi Pass, crossing the Continental Divide, only to have his hope for a single mountain portage dashed by the view of endless mountains stretching before him: "I discovered immence ranges of high mountains still to the West of us with their tops partially covered with snow." Fortunately, in mid-August he met a Shoshone band led by Sacagawea's brother Cameahwait, who provided the expedition with horses. The Shoshone guide Old Toby joined the expedition and led them across the Bitterroot Range. On the crossing, Clark lamented, "I have been wet and as cold in every part as I ever was in my life, indeed I was at one time fearfull my feet would freeze in the thin mockersons [moccasins] which I wore." Cold and hungry, the expedition finally spilled out of the mountains onto the Weippe Prairie, homeland of the Nez Percé. Upon the recommendation of a respected elderly woman, Watkuweis, the Nez Percé befriended the expedition. After leaving their horses with Chief Twisted Hair, the explorers hollowed out five cottonwood canoes and floated down the Clearwater and Snake rivers, reaching the Columbia River on October 16.
Pacific Ocean and return
They finally arrived at the Pacific Ocean in mid-November, with Clark recording in his journal, "Ocian in view! O! the joy." Fierce storms delayed their progress for nearly a month. The members conducted a democratic vote on where to spend the winter, with even York and Sacagawea casting votes. Near present-day Astoria, Oregon, the corps built Fort Clatsop and endured a wet, miserable winter by journal writing, drying meat, making salt, and traveling to see a beached whale. They hoped to encounter vessels along the Pacific that could transport them home, but, finding none, they did an about-face, planning to return along the Columbia and Missouri rivers. After stealing a Clatsop Indian canoe, they headed up the Columbia on March 23, 1806. They arrived at the Nez Percé villages, gathered up their horses, and waited for the snows to melt.
On July 3, after recrossing the Bitterroots, the expedition divided into several groups to better explore the region and two major tributaries of the Missouri. Several groups floated down to the Great Falls, digging up supplies they had cached on their outward journey. Meanwhile, Clark arrived at the Yellowstone River after crossing Bozeman Pass, the route suggested by Sacagawea. After constructing two canoes, he carved his name and the date in a sandstone outcropping, Pompey's Tower (now Pompey's Pillar), named for Sacagawea's son, whom Clark called Pomp. In the meantime, Lewis and three men met eight Blackfeet on July 26 on a tributary of Maria's River near present-day Cut Bank, Montana. A deadly altercation occurred the next morning when the explorers shot two warriors who had stolen their horses and guns. Fleeing on horseback for 24 hours straight, the foursome arrived at the Missouri River to rejoin other members of the expedition who were floating downstream. Farther on, this group reunited with Clark, bid farewell to the Charbonneaus, and floated downstream, completing the journey.
The Corps of Discovery met with a grand reception at St. Louis on September 23. Congress rewarded them with double pay and public land. The captains each received 1,600 acres (650 hectares), and their men received 320 acres (130 hectares). The final cost for the expedition totaled $38,000. Jefferson appointed Lewis governor of Upper Louisiana Territory and appointed Clark an Indian agent. Some of the expedition stayed in the military, others entered the fur trade, while still others took to farming in the region or returned to the East.
Some insist Lewis and Clark's legacy is insignificant because they were not the first non-Indians to explore the area, did not find an all-water route across the continent, and failed to publish their journals in a timely fashion. Although the first official account appeared in 1814, the two-volume narrative did not contain any of their scientific achievements. Nevertheless, the expedition contributed significant geographic and scientific knowledge of the West, aided the expansion of the fur trade, and strengthened U.S. claims to the Pacific. Clark's maps portraying the geography of the West, printed in 1810 and 1814, were the best available until the 1840s.
No American exploration looms larger in U.S. history. The Lewis and Clark Expedition has been commemorated with stamps, monuments, and trails and has had numerous places named after it. St. Louis hosted the 1904 World's Fair during the expedition's centennial, and Portland, Oregon, sponsored the 1905 Lewis and Clark Exposition. In 1978 Congress established the 3,700-mile (6,000-km) Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail. While Lewis and Clark had a great interest in documenting Indian cultures, they represented a government whose policies can now be seen to have fostered dispossession and cultural genocide. This dichotomy was on display during the event's bicentennial, commemorated by two years of special events across the expedition route.

With the days getting shorter and temperatures getting lower, the construction season is winding down at Penn State New Kensington.
For the past seven months, a series of renovation projects were under way on the campus. Capital improvements include redesigned parking lots, upgrades of chemistry labs and refurbishing the entrance to the Athletics Center.
"The primary intent was to improve the safety and accessibility while using the opportunity to improve the image of the campus exterior," said Jason Bush, director of business and finance. "I think the last time the upper parking lot was reconstructed was over 20 years ago."
The parking lot improvements were highlighted by the removal of the front entrance off Myers Drive that leads to the upper lot. A new road connects the back parking lot with the access ramp. The reconfiguration allows for the addition of 10 new parking spaces and increased handicapped and visitor parking. The entire lot was torn-up and graded, and a new concrete base was poured and paved with asphalt.
The chemistry lab in the Science Building was thoroughly renovated. The upgrades improved safety and will allow for more hands-on instruction that support requirements for chemistry and other disciplines.
The "greening" of the campus moved forward with the additions of two environmentally-friendly rain gardens that control storm water. The gardens serve as a barrier to the closed Myers Drive entrance. Other improvements include seating niches, green space and landscaping in the Nittany Lion shrine area near the front lot.
"These are improvements that you get to see, so they will be more appealing to students," Bush said.
The Athletics Center exterior is also new and improved. The parking lot for the soccer field as well as the access road underwent the same reconstruction as the upper lot. Other improvements that are in the final stages of completion are the beautification of the courtyard area. Concrete was replaced and reconfigured. ADA accessibility was improved for the front entrance to the building. An outdoor bike rack was added for pedaling enthusiasts and a seating wall, expected to be completed by the end of November, will provide more leisure space for students.
Upgrading athletic facilities is one of the objectives of the campus' "For the Future" campaign to raise $3 million by June 2014. Envisioned as a four-phase process, the athletic facilities upgrades are geared to both students and athletes at the campus. When the seat wall is finished, the third phase will be finished as well.
The second phase ended a year ago and concentrated on the interior of Athletics Center. Enhancements involved refurbishing the Fitness Center, moving the women's locker room upstairs and giving it a complete makeover, renovating the downstairs room to make way for cardiovascular equipment, and setting up a pilates/yoga studio. In addition to the indoor amenities, an artificial putting green and driving cage were installed outside the Athletics Center for the men's and women's golf team.
Plans for the final phase, an on-campus softball diamond, are underway and awaiting funding. The Lady' Lions new home will be constructed on a parcel of campus property located below the soccer field. Support from alumni and friends is vital for the project to come to fruition. The softball team, ranked 19th nationally in the final 2012 United States Collegiate Athletic Association poll, currently plays its home games at a municipal field, Wolf Pack Park in Lower Burrell.

It is a fresh server that I am setting up now: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS nginx ISPConfig 3 version: whatever was downloaded on Feb 3rd with wget http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/ISPConfig-3-stable.tar.gz The reason I am reinstalling is that I got other errors before, that I fixed.

From NBC/NJ's Adam Aigner-Treworgy
TAMPA, Fla. -- McCain tried to shift the public conversation back to national security with a roundtable at the University of Tampa here today and a statement featuring some of his harshest language pointing out Obama's lack of security credentials.
"The question is whether this is a man who has what it takes to protect America from Osama bin Laden, al Qaeda, and other grave threats in the world," McCain said. "And he has given you no reason to answer in the affirmative."
Surrounding McCain during his statement were various admirals, generals, and national security bigwigs like former Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge and former Navy Secretary John Lehman. McCain used these advisers as examples of respected people who doubt Obama's ability to handle an international crisis.
"These statesmen and those who have joined me here today are supporting my candidacy, because we share many of the same convictions and the same assessment of the national security challenges before our country," McCain said. "And with good reason, they question whether my opponent in this election has the wisdom or judgment to serve as commander in chief."
Referencing Obama's initial opposition to the war in Iraq and his opposition to the troop surge strategy, McCain said that the current economic crisis was a "cloud" under which his opponent was hoping that Americans would "forget" his previous positions.
Although McCain acknowledged the seriousness of the current domestic crisis, he confidently proclaimed that the country would get through it. But on the other side, McCain predicted that America would find itself faced with the same international security challenges as it is today, and a Democratically controlled Washington would be ill-prepared.
"We're getting only a glimpse of what one-party rule would look like under Obama, Pelosi, and Reid," McCain said. "Apparently, it starts with lowering our defenses and raising our taxes. Our national security is dependent on our economic security, and the plans of a Democratic-dominated Washington would harm both... At least when European nations chose the path of higher taxes and cutting defense, they knew that their security would still be guaranteed by America. But if America takes the same path, who will guarantee our security?"

Minnehaha County Budget Proposal Discussed, Proposed Costs Exceed Expected Tax Revenue
Dick Kelly, Minnehaha County Commissioner discussed upcoming budget issues Wednesday June 5th, during Viewpoint University on KSOO.
According to Kelly, the county will receive about $900,000 more in tax revenue next year. That is good news. The bad news, proposals from county departments far exceed that dollar amount.
One problem for the county is the cost of prosecuting and defending people arrested for driving while intoxicated and other crimes involving alcohol. The state and city receive money from various taxes on adult beverages.
The county gets nothing, but has the responsibility to pay for court costs and in many cases, incarceration. Those costs continue to go up with the number of cases and paying personnel to process the case load.
Efforts in front of the legislature to change the law so counties can receive money to cover their costs have not been successful.
There are capital building projects which are on the list:
- A new correction facility to replace the aging and poorly located one which is on Russell Street very near the new events center.
- The city/county museum system has more items than they have room for. Storage for antiquities is part of the list.
- There is discussion about a need to replace the Juvenile Detention Center.
- A garage and storage lot for county road maintenance and other vehicles.
There are also proposals for additional staff to serve the growing number of people in the county.
Commissioner Kelly said budget talks will get underway in the next three weeks. He offered no thoughts on what projects will be financed and no ideas on whether taxes will need to be increased beyond the opt out recently approved.

Frank A. Hanna, 29, accused of shooting 20-year-old Freddie Stephens with a .44-caliber handgun on May 24, was turned over to the Suffolk County Sheriff's Department on Tuesday, preparatory to being indicted by the county for the shooting. Mr. Hanna's attorney, Susan Menu, said this week that further investigation was needed before an indictment occurs.
A spokesman for the Suffolk County District Attorney's office, Robert Clifford, said on Tuesday that police have recovered the slug that shattered Mr. Stephens's arm in the basement of a house at 154 Springs-Fireplace Road, along with three shotguns, 10 cases of shotgun shells, an AK 47-style rifle, two banana clips, and a case of ammunition for the rifle.
Police have yet to find the weapon used in the shooting.
"We have not recovered a .44-caliber weapon," East Hampton Town Det. Lieut. Christopher Anderson said yesterday. "The matter is still under investigation."
"[Mr. Hanna] is a grown-ass man," said Tieya Bacon, Mr. Stephens's mother. "He shouldn't be playing with guns," she said last Thursday in an impromptu press conference outside East Hampton Town Court. "Some people just don't care."
Ms. Bacon was sitting on one side of the courtroom earlier that day as Mr. Hanna was arraigned before Justice Lisa Rana. Mr. Hanna's mother, family, and friends were seated on the other side.
When Justice Rana asked the prosecutor if Mr. Stephens needed an order of protection against Mr. Hanna, Ms. Bacon could be heard saying, "No. No," indicating that the shooting had been an accident.
But after the arraignment, during which Mr. Hanna was charged with criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree and assault in the second degree, both Class D felonies, as well as menacing, a misdemeanor, Ms. Bacon, while asserting that the shooting was accidental, was clearly livid.
According to her account, Mr. Hanna was holding a .44-caliber handgun when her son walked through the door. Mr. Hanna, she said, raised the gun and pointed it at Mr. Stephens's head; then dropped his aim slightly and squeezed the trigger, thinking the safety was on.
It wasn't, she said, and the gun went off, the bullet bursting through Mr. Stephens's arm and entering his torso.
According to Ms. Bacon, if Mr. Hanna had squeezed the trigger a split second earlier, "I'd be burying him today," she said. "You don't play with guns." Ms. Bacon claimed that Mr. Hanna had been playing with a variety of weapons in the house that day, and that he had earlier in the day "tasered someone." She said her son might never regain use of his arm. He was released from Stony Brook University Medical Center on Monday.
On Tuesday, Mr. Hanna, with Ms. Menu by his side, appeared again in Justice Court, this time before Justice Catherine A. Cahill, and waived his right to go before a grand jury within 120 hours, as is required by the state penal code (144 hours if a weekend is involved), or be released. That will give both the prosecution and the defense an extension of time to conduct a thorough investigation.
Mr. Hanna's attorney, Susan Menu, said yesterday that further investigation was needed before an indictment occurs. "There is so little information," she said. "These people were friends. This is a very unfortunate incident. I think everybody regrets it."
Before setting bail last Thursday, Justice Rana huddled with Ms. Menu over Mr. Hanna's police record. She referenced two previous convictions in the discussion before deciding on the amount for bail.
Ms. Menu argued for Justice Rana to set bail at $2,500, noting Mr. Hanna's long residence in the community.
The prosecutor asked for $75,000. Justice Rana set the initial bail at $50,000, cash. Mr. Hanna remained in the county jail as of this week.

Major Sponsors Drop Rio Olympic Medallist
Swimwear maker Speedo and luxury retailer Ralph Lauren Corp have ended their sponsorship contracts with Ryan Lochte, days after the US swimmer admitted to exaggerating his story about being robbed at gunpoint in Rio during the Olympics.
The incident embarrassed the host city, angered the local police and government and dominated news coverage of South America's first Olympics, leading the US Olympic Committee to issue an apology.
Lochte, a 12-time Olympic medallist, apologised on Saturday in an interview to Brazil's largest broadcaster, Globo TV.
"I wasn't lying to a certain extent," he said. "I over-exaggerated what was happening to me."
Within hours of the Games coming to a close, Speedo USA issued a statement saying it would drop Lochte as one of its endorsers, while Ralph Lauren said it would not be renewing its contract with the swimmer - saying its agreement was specifically for the Rio Games.
Hair removal company Syneron Candela also ended its partnership with Lochte, four months after naming him its global brand ambassador for one of its products.
Nottingham, UK-based Speedo's US unit said on Monday it would donate $50,000 ($A65,755) of Lochte's fee to Save The Children, a global charity partner of Speedo.
Lochte said in an email that he respected Speedo's decision.
"I was immature and I made a stupid mistake. I'm human. I made a mistake and I definitely learned from this," Lochte said in an interview on the Today show.
"They (the people of Rio) put on a great Games ... And my immature, intoxicated behaviour tarnished that a little."
Another sponsor, Japanese mattress maker Airweave, had said on Friday that it would continue to monitor the investigation but could not be reached for comment on Monday.
Lochte, 32, won one gold medal at the Rio Olympics after being the breakout star of the 2012 London Olympics.

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. - The MIT men's lacrosse team wrapped up its season with an 18-9 loss to Pilgrim Lacrosse League foe Western New England College on Saturday. The Engineers finish the year with an overall ledger of 5-8 and a conference mark of 3-5. Carter Powers paced MIT with three goals and two assists while Adam Cherry posted a game-high five goals and added one assist for the Golden Bears (11-5, 7-1 Pilgrim).
Patrick Matthews put WNEC on the scoreboard 2:31 into the contest by connecting on a feed from Brody Savoie. Less than a minute later, Powers set up Patrick Bossi for the equalizer. MIT took the lead on an unassisted goal by Powers, which was quickly answered by Cherry. The Engineers recorded three consecutive goals, resulting in a 5-2 lead at 3:44. A goal by Isaac Taylor was followed with an unassisted score by Tyler Sorba. MIT capped the spurt when Scott Purchase fed Powers for an extra-man goal. The Golden Bears responded with a 5-0 run to close the period.
In the second stanza, a low shot by Taylor cut the deficit to one (7-6) at the 11:37 mark. Less than two minutes later, Powers found Paul Steiner for an extra-man goal, knotting the game at 7-7. WNEC regained the lead on a quick score from Matthews and then pushed its advantage back to two when CJ Annunciata connected on a pass from Kelley Luchs. Bossi narrowed the gap with an unassisted goal, but the Golden Bears countered with a goal from Joe Cassini, taking a 10-8 edge at halftime.
Cassini powered WNEC's attack in the third period as he contributed to two of his squad's three goals. He scored on a pass from Cherry and then set up Annunciata. Matthews recorded the last goal with 29 seconds remaining.
The Golden Bears extended their lead to 15-8 after less than two minutes had expired in the final frame. Cherry posted his second extra-man goal of the day and then Savoie scored on a feed from Annunciata. The Engineers ended a 17-minute scoring drought on an extra-man goal by Powers. WNEC went on to score three unanswered goals to close the game.
In net, Christopher Ng collected 17 saves in the final game of his MIT career. For the Golden Bears, Chris Body and James Ells split the game, with each netminder making four stops.

SOCORRO, N.M., Feb. 23, 2004 – Applications currently are being accepted for New Mexico Tech's 2004 Summer Mini Courses, a summer program offering for high school students which is held each July at the research university in Socorro.
The weeklong instructional program allows participants to experience life as a college student, spending their days being taught by New Mexico Tech professors in college-level lectures, conducting related experiments, and taking educational field trips pertaining to their chosen field of study.
"New Mexico Tech's Summer Mini Courses give high school students from throughout the nation a greater understanding of what it takes to succeed as a college student, as well as what it takes to reach their own personal academic and career goals," says Mike Kloeppel, director of admission at New Mexico Tech.
Mini Courses being offered at the university this coming summer include: biology; chemical engineering; civil engineering; computer science; environmental engineering; information technology; materials engineering; mineral engineering; petroleum engineering; physics; psychology; technical communication; and the newest addition—a course in forensic biology called "CSI: Socorro."
High school students who have participated in Summer Mini Courses at New Mexico Tech often go on to give the state-supported research university serious consideration when making their choice of which college to attend.
"I didn't consider New Mexico Tech before I came to this summer program, but now I will put it on my list of colleges to consider," wrote one Mini Course participant on an evaluation form.
"Thanks to Summer Mini Course I will definitely be applying to New Mexico Tech," wrote another.
Attending any one of the Summer Mini Course offerings costs $399, and, in addition to tuition, also covers any additional fees, along with room and meals for the weeklong stay.
One hour of college credit also is available through New Mexico Tech to participants who successfully complete a Summer Mini Course.
Applications for either the July 11-16 or July 18-23 sessions of the summer program will be accepted up until the April 30 deadline.
For more information about the New Mexico Tech Summer Mini Course program, visit the program's website at http://externalweb.nmt.edu/mini/, or phone 1.800.428.8324.

US Carriers Nix Samsung's Smartphone Kill Switch
Nov 20, 2013 1:55 PM PT
Wireless carriers in the United States have rejected Samsung's proposal to preload theft deterrent software on all its phones sold in the country, San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón told TechNewsWorld.
Samsung wanted to preload Lojack for Android, which could brick Samsung phones and thus eliminate their value in the secondary market, "but only if it was made standard on all devices," Gascón continued.
"We are evaluating what course of action will be necessary to pressure the wireless industry to prioritize the safety of their customers," he said.
Carriers Hate Kill Switches Selectively
CTIA-The Wireless Association in June outlined its opposition to kill switches in a report to the Federal Communications Commission.
A kill switch would brick a mobile device, making it impossible to subsequently be reactivate or reuse it, the association argued. Further, hackers could spoof a kill command, disabling groups of mobile devices such as those owned by the Department of Defense or law enforcement.
Preloading a kill switch on mobile devices would also increase the risk of denial-of-service attacks and make it easy to discover the kill command, the CTIA maintained.
However, Apple's iOS 7 operating system has a kill switch -- the Activation Lock -- that has drawn strong support from Gascón and law enforcement.
A flaw in Siri lets users bypass the screen lock.
It's possible that carriers don't object to iOS 7's Activation Lock because Apple controls the OS and the device, and because they regard the iPhone as a must-have product in their lineup.
The Wireless Industry's Defense
"CTIA and its member companies worked hard over the last year to help law enforcement with its stolen phone problem," Jamie Hastings, the organization's vice president, told TechNewsWorld.
These efforts include creating an integrated database designed to prevent stolen phones from being activated, which is scheduled for release Nov. 30.
However, the database works only for 4G/LTE devices.
"The database is a smoke screen," Gascón growled. "A similar database in the UK was not effective, and since it was implemented last year, the number of smartphone thefts has only gone up."
Further, it does not cover lost or stolen smartphones shipped abroad.
However, "as more countries and more carriers around the world participate in the database, criminals will have fewer outlets for their stolen devices," Hastings pointed out.
The CTIA also offers apps consumers can download to remotely erase, track and lock stolen devices.
Samsung Soldiers On
Samsung "takes the issue of smartphone theft very seriously," the company said in a statement provided to TechNewsWorld by Carrie Gaffney of its public relations agency MWW Group.
"We will continue to work with [the Secure Our Smartphones Initiative] and our wireless carrier partners towards our common goal of stopping smartphone theft."
The Siren Song of Cold Hard Cash
Emails between a Samsung executive and a software developer that Gascón reviewed indicate the carriers were concerned the kill switch would cut into profits from insurance they sell to cover lost or stolen smartphones, the district attorney told The New York Times.
I don't think the money from insurance programs is the sole or even the leading reason operators oppose [Samsung's proposal]," Michael Morgan, senior analyst at ABI Research, told TechNewsWorld. "Insurance programs run from (US)$5 to $10 a month."
Carriers wouldn't offer and promote protective cases and scratch protectors if they were so concerned about eking out insurance profits, he reasoned.
"Why have operators sought to offer ruggedized phones?" Morgan added.
Still, the wireless industry's rejection of Samsung's proposal will reduce consumers' protection if their Samsung device should be stolen, he conceded.

Dist::Zilla::LocaleTextDomain for Translators
Here's a followup on my post about localizing Perl modules with Locale::TextDomain. Dist::Zilla::LocaleTextDomain was great for developers, less so for translators. A Sqitch translator asked how to test the translation file he was working on. My only reply was to compile the whole module, then install it and test it. Ugh.
Today, I released Dist::Zilla::LocaleTextDomain
v0.85 with a new command,
msg-compile. This
command allows translators to easily compile just the file they're working on
and nothing else. For pure Perl modules in particular, it's pretty easy to test
then. By default, the compiled catalog goes into
./LocaleData, where
convincing the module to find it is simple. For example, I updated the test
sqitch app to take advantage of this. Now, to test, say, the French
translation file, all the translator has to do is:
> dzil msg-compile po/fr.po
[LocaleTextDomain] po/fr.po: 155 translated messages, 24 fuzzy translations, 16 untranslated messages.
> LANGUAGE=fr ./t/sqitch foo
"foo" n'est pas une commande valide
I hope this simplifies things for translators. See the notes for translators for a few more words on the subject.

The Commerce Police Department continues the investigation of a man whom a witness claimed sold drugs to another man in the Ingles parking lot last week.
Police charged Jason Meeler, 28, of 410 Wilson Cemetery Road, Commerce, with violation of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act and failure to keep drugs in their original container.
Police were called to the parking lot by a witness who claimed to have seen a drug transaction. According to the arrest report, as police entered the parking lot, Meeler jumped into the passenger side of a Ford Ranger.
Upon approaching the vehicle, an officer observed that Meeler had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and shaking hands, the latter of which Meeler said was caused by "tremors."
Searching Meeler, officers found a silver container that contained pills inside a plastic bag, and Meeler explained that he was spending the night with the other man and put his medications in the container. Police also turned up a spoon and a small bag containing what police suspected was methamphetamine, but which Meeler said was crushed pills, which he liked to snort. Officers also found a spoon and a straw used in that activity.
Officers also found pills tentatively determined to be Xanax in the center console, which both occupants of the vehicle denied owning, and an officer allegedly found more pills in Meeler's right front pocket, identified as Valium. He also had more Valium in a prescription bottle in his name.
The driver, a 28-year-old white male, told police that he picked up Meeler as Meeler was walking along U.S. 441, and took him to Ingles, where Meeler directed him to park next to another vehicle. Meeler then went to the other vehicle.
According to the report, Meeler got into the other vehicle with a 26-year-old white male, but both Meeler and the other person denied that a drug transaction took place.
Charges follow 'drug deal' in Ingles parking lot

HPV and Cervical Cancer
While HPV infection is the leading cause of cervical cancer, in reality it is very rare for HPV infection to progress to cancer with proper treatment. 60 to 80 % of CIN 1 dysplasias resolve on their own, and only about 1% of cases progress to invasive cervical cancer.

How Common is HPV?
Studies suggest as many as 80% of people will aquire genital HPV. Several estimates have placed the lifetime likelihood of exposure to HPV in the range of 75-90% though most will not show symptoms.
Why Tell Future Partners About HPV?
According to the
Association for Reproductive Health Professionals:
Once no further HPV lesions can be found, and no new lesions appear during the subsequent months, the chance of shedding enough HPV to be contagious dramatically falls.
While it is impossible to tell anyone exactly when they have little-to-no chance of passing HPV to a partner, as months go by with no lesions found (especially if none are found by a skilled clinician), the possibility of being contagious is likely to be increasingly remote even if the virus remains in a latent state.
The inability to be 100% sure that one is no longer contagious should foster honesty whenever a new relationship begins. This should be tempered with the fact that most people are exposed to this virus during their life, and that, for most, this virus does not usually cause great harm.

Amanda Dawn Garlitz and Ali—June 22, 2012
From: Judge Carol Dean-Porter
First thing I notice is the extremely long distance to this small oxer. Ali has reached the top of her arc but her toes have not yet cleared the front rail. Amanda needs to ride to a closer distance.
Ali's legs are up well and she tries hard. She is a bit flat with her neck and back, partly due to the very long distance and partly due to Amanda's short left hand release. You can see the bit pulled well back in Ali's mouth. Ali has a very focused expression.
I also notice the bight of the reins on the left side, most riders and judges prefer the bight to fall on the right. This is a minor point, but noticeable.
Amanda would greatly benefit by adjusting her saddle placement and checking her girth tightness prior to walking in the ring. The saddle has slipped back substantially which puts her behind Ali's center of balance, despite Amanda's good lower leg position and good body control. Her right hand is placed well, about even with her face. Her left hand pulls back on the rein and her elbow is pointing back towards her thigh instead of down. I am not sure why she pulls on that rein, because Ali is slightly to the left of center of the jump already.
This pair is well turned-out with properly fitting tack and attire. Ali's coat gleams nicely and I can see that her tail is combed and trimmed at the bottom.
From: Judge Rob Gage
This horse is perfectly square with his front legs. Maybe she could fold her lower legs a bit tighter….but I'm not complaining.
I want you to take a very close look at the back of her lips. I know that's a funny thing to ask, but I think you will see how the bit has made her "smile". I really think Ali would like to stretch her head and neck down and forward more…..if Amanda would just let her. She doesn't need much more, but I think she should reach her hands up along Ali's mane….just a couple more inches. Relax through her shoulders & elbows more, to allow her arms to "follow Ali's mouth".
Although I can't really see her leg, I can see the toe of Amanda's boot, and I can tell, her foot slipped back, but only a little. Her posture is beautiful. Her equitation is sooooo close! I think if she would just work on beginning her release a moment sooner, she'd have it.
Follow up questions from Amanda:
#1. The first of my two questions is on saddle placement. I've struggled a bit on finding the best placement for Ali's saddle. I've tried to live by the rule two fingers behind the point of her shoulders but her shoulder seems to slant back more than I'm used to. I know her movement improves when I keep the saddle back further, but I can also see in the picture how her saddle does look behind her motion here. Any thoughts on the problem movement vs. balance?
#2. My second question if either of you have any advice or exercises you use when teaching a horse flying changes. We are working with a trainer and have been making steady progress with Ali's changes, but it remains a difficult skill for her and I'm always "picking people's brains" for ideas or things that have worked for them. She gets them the best in open fields where she can essentially gallop through them, but in the ring, she lets her butt trail out and only swaps the front. Thanks so much for taking the time to critique Ali and I and answer our questions!
From: Judge Carol Dean-Porter
Question #1: Saddle placement should position the rider over the horse's center of balance (shoulders and neck) while in the air. A long sloping shoulder is a good thing as it permits a long stride. If your saddle pinches the shoulder, it does not fit correctly. Placing it farther back on the spine will only lead to problems. Have a saddle fitter take a look.
Question #2: Regarding lead changes, you can ask the horse to land on one lead or the other, use an opening rein technique, separating your hand out away from the neck about 6 inches instead of using the direct rein and pulling straight back. Practice changes over a pole on the ground, which causes her to lift her feet higher and simplifies the lead change process. Ideally she should begin her change behind.
From: Judge Robert Gage
Question #1: I like my saddle to sit UP on the withers. If you accidentally put the saddle too far forward, it will slide back to the correct position. If you accidentally place it too far back, it will not slide forward. Check the position of the girth, it should be no farther back than 2 inches behind the point of the elbow.
Question #2: Regarding lead changes, when a horse does a flying change, he has to skip UP off the ground an extra couple of inches. You need to artificially help him get up into the air. Here is what I do: place two poles diagonally towards the fence line or wall about 15 or 20 feet away from the wall. They should sit on about a 45 degree angle to the wall. Keep the poles about 1 to 2 feet apart from each other. Now place 2 more poles near the first two poles so it ends up with the 4 poles looking like the V with the center point of the V closer to the wall. Approach from the right lead and jump the left side. Turn around and canter on the left lead over the right side of the poles. At first your horse will be confused. As he starts to figure it out, he will anticipate the upcoming turn forced by the wall and will actually turn while he is jumping the two poles. That will start to teach him the mechanics of a flying change.

Chevy's all-new Corvette Stingray will spend a little time studying abroad in early March.
The automaker announced Thursday it would be unveiling the all-new Corvette Stingray Convertible at the Geneva Motor Show on March 5.
The car will be a drop-top version of the seventh-generation sports car that made its world debut at the Detroit Auto Show in January. Power isn't expected to change from that car's 6.2-liter V-8 engine that makes 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque. The transmissions will likely be the coupe's seven-speed manual or six-speed automatic.
Chevy hasn't announced pricing for the coupe or the convertible, but the current soft-top Corvette starts at about $7,000 more than the coupe. Thus, a 2014 convertible could start around $60,000.
Chevy has made it clear it has global ambitions for the new Corvette. Releasing this new model at a European car show known for high-dollar luxury cars from brands like Ferrari and Rolls Royce, demonstrates how seriously Chevy wants this Corvette to be taken.
There's also an inherent risk of being overshadowed by million-dollar supercars at the Geneva show, but Chevy isn't worried about that.
"It's great company for the car to be in," said Chevy spokesman Monte Doran. "The Corvette is truly a world-class sports car, so it's not a bad thing to be talked about in the same breath as Ferrari and Bentley."
Though Chevy won't confirm it, American audiences will probably get their first look at the Corvette Stingray Convertible at the New York Auto Show at the end of March.
Buyers looking to be the first to own such a convertible will get their chance in early April. Chevy says the first production Corvette Stingray Convertible will be auctioned off at the Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach car auction on April 4-6.
Just make sure your pockets are deep enough. The world's first C7 coupe sold for more than $1 million at an auction in January. Like the earlier auction, all proceeds from the convertible's sale will go a charity, in this case the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute.
Buyers not looking to spend seven figures on the Corvette Convertible will probably have to wait until late 2013 or early 2014, when the car will hit Chevy dealerships.

CASTLE ROCK — A Castle Rock man says he is just glad his family is safe after a natural gas explosion leveled their home with his wife and four children inside.
Lisa Martinez and four children — Chuna Martinez, a 6-year-old girl; Elen Martinez, a 4-year-old girl; Oz Martinez, an 11-year-old boy; and Ahbie, 7-year-old boy — are in good condition and doing well, according to Swedish Medical Center. The four children are adoptees from Ethiopia. Lisa Martinez's husband, Lt. Jimmy Martinez, is an officer with the Denver Police Department and works the early shift. He wasn't home at the time.
"As a police officer for over 30 years, I am so used to being on the other side of this," Jimmy Martinez said at a news conference at the hospital. "I am just so thankful that my family is OK."
The family has 4 other children, ages 25, 23, 23 and 18 who no longer live at home. Another son, 16-year-old Ryan Martinez, would normally have been sleeping in the basement but was at a friend's house.
Lisa Martinez and the young children were on the second floor watching TV together when the blast occurred. There were only minor injuries.
All but the oldest son were at the news conference. Lisa Martinez had a bruise under her right eye and held Ahbie. The youngest children were in their pajamas.
Jimmy Martinez said he thought the call telling him his house had exploded was a joke at first.
Two pets were recovered, but four animals perished. Martinez said the family is most upset over losing mementos from Ethiopia.
The explosion a t 6942 Sulphur Lane, in the Sapphire Pointe neighborhood, happened shortly after 7 a.m., said Art Morales, chief of the Castle Rock Fire Department.
Neighbors reported smelling gas shortly before the explosion, Morales said.
"We were sleeping when all of a sudden, 'boom.' I was up instantly," said Kyle Albert, a 16-year-old who lives at the end of the cul-de-sac where the home exploded.
Kyle and his younger brother Ryan, 14, were asleep when the house exploded, rattling items off the shelves of their home.
"We thought a plane crashed into our house," Kyle said.
Ryan said he went with his brother to the window and all they could see was rubble, so they grabbed their shoes and sprinted outside.
"The first thing I thought was 'Oh God, I have to go help,'" Kyle said.
Ryan helped carry the children back to the Alberts' house, while Kyle helped guide the woman, who was in a state of disbelief and shock, out of the rubble, making sure she didn't step on nails.
"It was horrifying," Kyle said.
According to the teens, Lisa Martinez and the children were alert and talking when paramedics took them to the hospital.
Two additional houses were damaged in the explosion and are uninhabitable, officials said. A third home has been condemned.
Everyone on the block, about 20 people, were evacuated from their homes as a precautionary measure.
Authorities told neighbors that residents of homes that were not damaged go back after the area was checked. There was no timetable for residents of homes that were damaged.
Pete Galligan, a neighbor who lives about a mile away, said he felt his home shake when the house exploded, but his house was not evacuated.
Jimmy Martinez said his family will stay with his oldest son until insurance is sorted out and they can find something more permanent.
He added: "We're just so thankful for all the support we've received."

County Executive Isiah Leggett proposes English Language on Demand to move the County forward in his State of the County address. This initiative encourages "residents to become 'teaching volunteers' in our County English language learning network." Get involved with the Language Corps!
Use Your Language Skills to Make Montgomery County the Most Welcoming Community in the Nation
There are five ways to get involved:
1 in 7 county residents are considered Limited-English-Proficient (LEP). Navigating vital resources such as government agencies, the health care system and the public school system can be very difficult, especially with language barriers.
1. Become an interpreter or translator with the Montgomery County Language Bank . Montgomery County's Language Bank is a group of volunteers available to help translate and interpret for County government agencies and registered nonprofit organizations serving residents with limited English proficiency. Language bank volunteers serve as interpreters at parent-teacher conferences, social services appointments and translate documents for various agencies and organizations.
Questions? Contact Ms. Diane Vu at firstname.lastname@example.com or 240-777-8320.
If you volunteered to teach one English class, you will help 20 learners achieve significant annual wage gains within 18 months after program exit, ranging from $1,817 to $2,579. Each year over 2,500 residents sit on waitlists to enroll in English classes.
2. Become a teaching volunteer for English as a Second Language with one of the providers of the Montgomery Coalition for Adult Education Literacy (MCAEL) the Charles W. Gilchrist Center for Cultural Diversity or through
3. Promote multilingualism by teaching a second language to County residents by facilitating conversation classes through the Charles W. Gilchrist Center for Cultural Diversity .
To volunteer with the Charles W. Gilchrist Center for Cultural Diversity, send an email to email@example.com or 240-777-4940.
To volunteer with MCAEL , fill out an application and send to firstname.lastname@example.com . You may also call 301-881-1338.
4. Teach English or browse the Montgomery County Volunteer Center's many opportunities.
Conflict among residents from different cultures is common and just one mediation can save local police departments up to $1,600. Volunteers with language capacity in target languages are needed to serve multicultural communities. To help head off conflict in our community, conflict resolution must be done with a high degree of cultural competence.
5. Become an intake, outreach or office volunteer with the Conflict Resolution Center of Montgomery County (CRCMC). CRCMC offers conflict resolution and prevention services to residents, businesses, government agencies, and non-profit organizations throughout the County and is committed to promoting positive relationships among the many ethnic, racial, religious, age and socioeconomic groups within the County.
Interested? Read the position descriptions and email Gina at email@example.com or call 301-652-0717.

Epson T0802 ink cartridges
Please do not shake the cartridge before use. Before installing your compatible ink cartridge, you must remove the RED SEALING CLIP by snapping it off.
Ignore the small piece of red plastic that remains, install the inkjet cartridge, pressing it firmly down. Do not touch the gold coloured contacts before installing the cartridge. Ensure the cartridge is completely pressed down, it will not click when installed.
Q. My cartridge is showing as unrecognised. I have printed with it since it was installed.A. The printer driver on later Epson printers has been programmed to display this message when the ink runs out on a compatible cartridge. This is to discourage you from saving money by buying compatible cartridges. The print yield from your compatible cartridge is equal to the original.
Q. My cartridge shows as unrecognised or empty after switching on the printer or leaving it a while.A. The printer periodically cleans the printhead, using ink from the cartridges. This may empty a cartridge resulting in these messages. Change the cartridge as normal.
Q. Why do I not get a low ink sign in the status monitor?A. This is another example of the software making things difficult for compatible cartridge users.
Q. I have installed a replacement cartridge and now another cartridge is empty or unrecognised.A. Installing a new cartridge takes ink out of all the cartridges, which may result in another one becoming empty.
Q. Why is there ink left in the cartridge when it becomes empty?A. The printer counts how much ink is used and stops the cartridge at a certain point, this is preset and cannot be changed. Some printer models will allow more ink to be used than others.
Q. There are lines / streaks on the paper when printing.A. Perform a print head cleaning cycle. This can be located within the printer maintenance menu. Print a nozzle check to see if all the nozzles are free of blockages. If breaks still appear on the printed page, repeat the process. If the nozzle check page displays one set of black nozzles shown below, only perform up to two cleans.
If the screen displays up to three sets of nozzles, perform up to three cleans:
99% of all blocked nozzles are caused by trapped air within the print head. If the cleaning cycle does not remove the lines, rest the printer for half an hour and perform a nozzle check. (Do not continue to clean the cartridges as this will use up valuable ink from all the cartridges). If there is no improvement, leave the cartridge for a further two hours. During the rest period, ink from the cartridge will migrate through the cartridge and absorb / push trapped air from the print head. If Epson cartridges are removed from the printer for any length of time, the print head is liable to dry out and block up. Always remove used cartridges when you have a replacement available. Never remove the power supply when the printer is in operation such as paper feed, cleaning cycle and printing. When the printer is not in use, the print head will park over the capping mechanism which seals over the print head preventing it from drying out.
Q. I have installed a full set of replacement cartridges and the status monitor indicates they are all empty.A. It is possible that one of the cartridge chips has not connected properly with one of the printer electrical contacts. The printer carriage needs to be placed in the cartridge change position. This can be achieved by either pressing the ink / OK button on the printer or following the step by step cartridge change guide located within the printer maintenance menu. Lift the cartridge location lever and push your finger firmly on the top of the cartridges. If this fails, carefully lift the affected cartridge without breaking the rubber seal at the bottom of the product. Push firmly back into position to re-engage the chip / printer contacts.
