For many families, at this time of year, back-to-school means full schedules, carving out time for homework, and buying expensive shoes, clothes and supplies. But for many Marion County homeschool families, back-to-school has a different meaning.
"Let me first say that every homeschool family is different," said Angela Ciero, homeschool parent of five and vice president of Marion County Home Education Board. "There is no such thing as a typical day. Some families follow an 8-to-3 schedule, others may choose to do their lessons in the middle of the night because that is when a parent is available. But, for all of us, the flexibility and the freedom to do what we think best for our children is important."
Ciero said religion played a major role in her decision, nine years ago to homeschool her children. Others start for political, discipline, or health reasons.
"I feel that God has given us the responsibility as parents to raise our children in a certain way. I just couldn't do that while sending them to school 8 to 10 hours a day," she said. "The time they are young goes by so fast. We have to make the most of it when we have them."
Ciero, whose children range in age from 7 to 17 said she did not want to homeschool her children at first, but became aware that there were things they were not getting at school that she could provide at home.
"The Lord showed me that anything was possible," she said. "There are special interests they have that we can do so much with, and that wouldn't happen in a normal school situation."
Bicycle repair is something that interests Ciero's 12-year-old son. He plans to set up his own bicycle repair shop, so Ciero is able to work lessons in many subjects around that interest, and for him, learning is a lot of fun.
"I just enjoy the fun and flexibility we have with the children at home," Ciero said. "One day the boys brought me a 5-gallon bucket full of caterpillars, with the question, 'Mom can we keep them?' Experiences like that just make learning so much fun."
Ciero happened to have a butterfly house on hand, and together the family raised a big batch of moths.
"Some of them died, most of them were moths, but there were a few beautiful butterflies, and of course, we turned them all loose," she said. "It was a great learning experience for the kids."
Ciero said teaching the fundamentals of reading, math, science, and English at home, with the Internet, was much easier now than it used to be.
"Years ago I hated the Internet," she said. "But now we can't live without it. For homeschool we can get complete curriculums for free, really good lessons for spelling and history. It is just amazing all you can find to use."
Ciero said being a member of the Marion County Home Education Board also was helpful to her family.
"We go on a lot of field trips together with other families, and other years have formed co-ops that we can share our specialties with each other," she said.
Her own children have benefitted from art lessons taught by another mom in the group especially talented in that area, and a father in the group gave guitar lessons to her son. Ciero said her own specialty was drama, mime, and acting. And she enjoyed sharing her gifts with other families and groups of homeschool children.
"We always have to work to balance out the cost of the things we do, but the flexibility is there and our children are not so overburdened with homework that they miss out on fun things," she said. "For example, we finished our work early today (Friday), so now it's movie night the rest of the afternoon and evening."
Ciero said her children had differing opinions on whether homeschool was the best thing for them.
"My oldest has sometimes challenged why we do what we do," she said. "We have agreed to let him finish his senior year, next year, in public school, if that is what he wants to do. My daughter has friends from church who attend public school though, and they are always complaining about all the homework they have to do and that they never have free time. My younger children are happy not to have those problems."
Betsy Walker, president of the Marion County Home Education Board, said there are approximately 50 children registered in homeschools in the group this year, with many others active county-wide. The group held an organizational picnic in Hillsboro Saturday to provide a supportive network for homeschool families.
"We meet every other month to coordinate field trips, fill needs, and find rides, if needed," Walker said. "We have had as many as 80 children involved, so we find it important to have a mom's group that meets every other month as well."
Walker said five new families joined the county organization this year, but since several left the area, numbers were about the same as the previous year.

Congress abdicates responsibility
News editor
Whether trying to stop wasteful spending or getting to the bottom of a scandal or controversy, Congress has the ability to check presidential power if it puts its foot down. But lately, Congress has been too reluctant to force the issues. That was part of the message Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-Fowler) gave at a town hall meeting Jan. 9 in Hillsboro.
He said that for most of the past century, presidents have issued executive orders in conflict with existing laws. It takes Congress challenging those unilateral decisions to rescind them, he said.
Congress' biggest check on presidential power is its budget authority, Huelskamp said — the president cannot enforce executive orders without the money to do so. But it takes a majority of Congress to make that happen.
A member of the audience asked Huelskamp about the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's knowledge of it.
"We don't know, they won't tell us," Huelskamp said. "What bothers me is I don't think Congress cares to know."
Health care
Earlier in the day, Huelskamp met with the St. Luke Hospital board in Marion to hear concerns about the federal health care policy.
More than half — 54 percent — of the hospital's revenue comes from Medicare and Medicaid services, CEO Jeremy Amstrong said. If the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, is fully implemented, the hospital projects will lose $1 million of Medicare payments over the next 10 years.
Home health care is projected to take the bulk of the cuts, despite the fact that home care is much cheaper than hospitalization.
Armstrong wonders whether cuts to home care will result in more people being hospitalized.
"Washington has a belief that they know more about St. Luke than you would ever know," Huelskamp said.

Milpitas, CA, February 16, 2007 - SanDisk® Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK), the world's largest supplier of flash storage card products, today announced cost cutting measures.
"Industry wide NAND component pricing has deteriorated by approximately 50% in the past two months due to excess supply of NAND components coupled with first quarter seasonally weak demand. This is impacting pricing for our retail and OEM products at a steeper rate than we had been anticipating and in order to maintain market share we now expect to lower Q1 prices for many of our products to 30%-40% below fourth quarter levels. said Eli Harari, Chairman and CEO of SanDisk. Although we believe there will be strong pickup in demand for our products in the second half of the year, we do not have visibility as to when the current aggressive pricing cycle will run its full course, and gross margins are likely to remain under significant pressure for several quarters."
"To strengthen SanDisk's profitability during this time of aggressive industry pricing, we are proactively taking a number of measures to reduce our product costs and operating expenses. At the same time we have identified a number of opportunities to focus and streamline the combined organizations of SanDisk and the former msystemsTM, Ltd. which was acquired on November 19th, 2006. We will continue to invest aggressively in strategic R&D programs and new market opportunities," said Harari.
The expense reduction actions include several employee-related measures:
• A worldwide reduction in our employee workforce of up to 10% of headcount, or approximately 250 employees. These cuts will primarily occur in early March and impact all areas and will reflect, in part, the decision we recently made to de-emphasize the USB private label business in favor of the more profitable SanDisk branded business.
• A reduction in salaries for all executives. This will include a 20% cut in base pay for the CEO, 15% for the President and EVPs, and 10% for other VPs.
• A freeze in salaries for all other employees.
• A freeze in new hire staffing levels for most areas, although the company will continue to hire in strategic areas including product innovation and future generation technologies, such as x4 and 3D.
Total annualized cash cost savings related to the reduction-in-force and salary related measures, excluding severance costs, are expected to be approximately $30 to $35 million including cash savings from the reduction-in-force of approximately $20 to $25 million. In addition the reduction-in-force will result in a decrease in stock compensation expense of approximately $10 million on an annualized basis. The company expects to incur a restructuring charge in connection with the reduction-in-force in the range of $15 million to $20 million, with the majority of the expense occurring in the first quarter of 2007. Approximately 50% of this restructuring charge is stock compensation expense related to the terms of the msystems acquisition.
"We believe that lower price points in the NAND industry will accelerate demand, particularly in the handset market, and will stimulate the emergence of new markets, fueling continued growth," said Eli Harari, Chairman and CEO of SanDisk. "We are determined to continue to lead the industry in innovation, technology and product cost reductions, and to continue investing in the leading edge capacity that we believe is essential to meet demand from our global customers in 2008-2010. Given the strength of our market position and our balance sheet, we believe that our actions will allow us to weather the current challenges and emerge an even stronger market leader when the next wave of growth in flash products emerges," Harari said.
SanDisk will hold its annual Analyst Day on February 26, 2007.

Future results may differ materially from those previously reported. We do not intend to update the information contained in this release.

On Mists and 'The Smart Kids'
Anne Stickney stirred up a bit of a hornets nest with her post on WoW Insider The Smart Kids -- Or Why Cataclysm Failed to Impress. Her points about the complaints with Cataclysm --that it was not what we thought we wanted-- struck a bit of a nerve with people.
I can't say I disagree with her assessment that people thought they wanted one thing, such as a revamped Old World, and it turned out that they really wanted was something new and innovative. However, her assertions that Mists has what will cure the complainers' ills has me raising an eyebrow in skepticism.
One thing that I have to point out is that the beta people say the stuff about Mists that they were saying about Cata: how great, new, and interesting it is. Remember how people got excited about having to work in the new instances, and how they made you use CC, etc. etc? Well, that excitement didn't last long in Cata, and I don't expect it to last long in Mists either.
Blizz doesn't want to sit on its laurels, because pleasing only the complainers is a reactionary thing. They want to grow beyond 10 mil subs, but the problem is that gaining new subs is becoming more and more difficult. To a new sub, Pandaria is all about the endgame, because they have to go from L1-L85 just to get to Pandaria. Want to start as a new sub with a Pandaren? It's going to cost you, because you have to buy the whole shebang. (Yes, Blizz does specials, but if you don't know someone who plays, then Blizz' specials are an unknown item.)
If Blizz pleases only a portion of the playerbase --like they did in Cata-- they'll be hard pressed to stand still. The race to L90 is already being plotted out, and the talent changes haven't exactly put the theorycrafters out of business, either. Pet Battles will keep theorycrafters busy as well; anybody who watches games of MtG in action knows that Magic players (and their Pokemon kin) are out for blood. Before I hear someone tell me that "Oh, but it's all about FUN!", I'll say this: are you nuts? Don't people remember the Beanie Baby craze, where collectors when absolutely bananas over those stuffed animals? I've seen how obsessive collectors can be --just go to a flea market and watch the sideshow-- and Blizz could be unleashing something they did not intend by mixing theorycrafting with pet collecting.
What I'm saying is that Mists isn't going to be a panacea. It's going to have good points and bad points, and there will be unintended consequences of actions. Take LFR for instance. LFR is going to have a much larger impact on Mists than it did on Cata, and its mere presence will cause people to burn through endgame content more quickly than ever before. So, while there may be more endgame content at launch, Blizz may find people complaining that they're bored just as quickly as with Cata.
Blizz is also a business, so they're going to make some decisions on economics rather than pleasing the player base. Just because WoW is raking in cash doesn't mean that Blizz is not under pressure from Activision to increase profits. If there's one rule of today's Wall Street, it's what have you done for me lately. "Oh, that's great, you brought in $XXX this year. But that's the same as last year. Where's the growth potential? Why haven't you increased subscriptions? What is your plan to expand into the high growth Asian market? How are you keeping your costs down?"
When viewed through the lens of the 'smart kids', as Anne did, I really don't see any other MMO that would cause the 'smart kids' to leave and stick with, because the EQ/WoW/standard MMO model is still the dominant form out there. Perhaps if they wanted a true challenge, there's EVE Online*, but really, it's easier to complain than to actually try something different.
*The Secret World holds some promise of breaking the traditional mold, but it's still too early to tell.

Yes, as someone who wanted to fly in Azeroth and now hates that there are no secret places left, I sure shouldn't have been given what I wanted.ReplyDelete
I will be interested to see if they can gain subs with Mists. I remember when I started playing in 2006 feeling I'd be left behind because it had been out so long, lol. I can't think what the strategy would be to gain subs other than through friends at this point.
OMG! Beanie Babies! Haven't thought of those in ages, I'll bet I have one somewhere around here.Replies
Well, there are secret places left, but they're in the BC starting zones. I still grump that the places you can't fly in Azeroth are part of the expansion that introduced flying in the first place. I was so looking forward to parking on top of Windrunner Spire, but it wasn't meant to be.Delete
If Blizz gains subs with Mists, it sure won't be due to their pricing structure. The cynic in me thinks they'll get subs from gold farmers overseas farming for pets, but who knows?
Yeah, I remember Beanie Babies. Oh boy, do I remember them. I was hunting around for an Atari 2600 at the time the Beanies were in vogue, and the scenes at flea markets or yard sales were absolutely nuts.
The problem I have with a lot of the Mists coverage, specifically that coming from WoWInsider is that people are taking what little they know about Mists and assuming that it means things will be great or better than they were in Cataclysm.ReplyDelete
Rather than saying, we have X, Y, and Z, which we can see, and which we know will be better, people are saying "Look at ___ that hasn't been fleshed out yet." Sort of like the "No news is good news approach." I don't really agree with that.Replies
Yeah, I've been wondering about that too. Considering all of the discussions about which new talent is best for raiding, when the talents and their effects haven't been finalized is a bit premature. At best. But what also annoys me is that the same people will then turn around and state the company line that the new talent system is designed to eliminate theorycrafting. O RLY?Delete
I'm in the minority in that I really liked Vashj'ir in Cata, but I'm now wondering how many people had unrealistic expectations about the zone based on beta reviews.

Molecular cage traps rare gases
Organic compound could cull valuable xenon from the air and detect cancer-causing radon
With a squeeze, an organic molecule can snatch rare gases from the air.
The compound contains cavities that are just the right size to nab atoms of xenon, krypton and radon. These noble gases range from valuable to radioactive; they're all largely inert, usually present in low or negligible concentrations in the air and extremely difficult to capture. Researchers hope the new molecular trap could one day be used to sort radioactive waste gas, monitor home air and collect valuable resources.
"I would die to have these compounds in my hands," says organic chemist Siegfried Waldvogel of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, in Germany, who works on chemical sensors.
But the new chemical cage was a bit of a "happy accident," admits materials chemist Andrew Cooper of the University of Liverpool in the England.
Cooper and his colleagues had set out to create a polymer. Instead, they produced a 3-D cage by reacting four aldehyde

Waiting for 'someday' to finish the journey
Jineea Butler | 1/6/2014, 11:16 a.m.
We shall overcome,
we shall overcome,
We shall overcome someday;
Oh, deep in my heart,
I do believe,
We shall overcome someday.
(NNPA) – In thinking about the New Year, I always wondered what was the target date for someday? When I sing the song I feel vibrations from the ancestors who owned it when they sang and brought down walls like Joshua and the Battle of Jericho. It's inspirational, it's therapeutic and it's powerful for a group of people to sing, pray and believe in one accord.
For instance, in August 1963, 22-year-old folksinger Joan Baez, led a crowd of 300,000 in singing We Shall Overcome at the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. recited the words from We Shall Overcome in his final speech delivered in Memphis in 1968, before his assassination, We Shall Overcome was sung days later by more than 50,000 attendees at King's funeral. Farm workers in the United States later sang the song in Spanish during strikes and grape boycotts of the late 1960s, and it was notably sung by the U.S. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, when he led anti-apartheid crowds in choruses from the rooftop of his car while touring South Africa in 1966.
In many ways, we have overcome. You should never forget that those who dreamed the first dreams of freedom dreamed us all the way into the presidency of the United States. That alone is an accomplishment that would have some turning in the grave and some finally resting in peace. But the reality is that we are further behind than we were in those times. And we know it. We are being outperformed in every area except sports and hip-hop. And hip-hop is now on the edge.
Let's take a look at what is really holding us hostage. Is it the "Man" everybody mysteriously refers to? Is it because we get distracted at a moment's notice? Is it because we trust other people before we trust ourselves? Is it because we spend most of our time chasing illusions and creating situations that are not conducive to meeting our goals? What is it? Why does it seem like we are the only race without a plan, the only race who looks at one another and despises the beauty they see? Why are we the only race that tries to undermine one another for capital gain? Is this by design or did we evolve into this state of consciousness?
We have to stop making excuses for everything that is wrong and just make it right. We are not living up to our fullest potential and again we know it. I need you to dig deep within yourself and take off the mask, allow the layers and layers of defense mechanisms to fall to the wayside and have the courage to look the real you in the face. Have the courage to be greater than your best self. Have the courage to say "I don't know" when you don't.

According to Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union Tribune, former San Diego State running back Adam Muema has left the NFL scouting combine on Sunday due to religious reasons.
He believes if he does what God told him to do (leave the combine) he will realize his dream of playing for the Seattle Seahawks.
"Can't go wrong with God," Muema said. "(He) told me to sit down, be quiet, enjoy the peace."
Muema left San Diego State as a junior. In his final season he carried the ball 256 times for 1244 yards (4.9 yard average) and 15 touchdowns. His sophomore season was a bit more productive as he carried 237 times for 1458 yards (6.2 yard average) and 16 touchdowns. His 31 touchdowns over the past two seasons led the Mountain West Conference.
According to NFL.com's draft grades Muema projects to be a backup or a special teams player in the NFL.

I bought this delicious festive nonsense in Broadway Market (London) yesterday
from Bernie Malone an old friend of mine. At first I thought, what's she doing selling Christmas wreaths? until I drew closer and noticed how witty and brilliant they were. That's a pink scouring pad at the top.
They are made by Bernie and Madeline Herbert, both notable artists, so for anything between ten and thirty notes (depending on the size and illuminations) you are getting rather more than a door decoration I can't help thinking.
Something more on the traditional side here
And, finally, another Christmas send-up..
Gorgeous, no?

It's the little details I really like, here; especially the "socket header" on the back edge made by installing a regular 1×8 black brick in an unusual studs-down position.

DIY Toy Tests >
Published on Monday, April 9, 2012
Finding toys that bunnies actually spend time with is challenging. Sometimes just a plain old cardboard box can be inspiration for a fun DIY project your bunny will love. Hay and a treat stuffed inside a cardboard roll, makes for an entertaining toy too.
Discover some great DIY toy projects that members have sent us or share some of your own!

The Diggy Box II
We've showed the diggy box before made out of a laundry basket and newspaper, but a cardboard box and shredded paper is another fun option. We can deal with the mess it makes because we have a shop vac nearby. If you want to keep it contained try the laundry basket version (Scroll down to diggy box)
NOTE: The last couple of minutes is just extra time-- just black, so ignore.

Smoking has dire consequences
We are Alameda Girl Scouts in Troops 30121 and 32143. Because of new local laws regarding smoking, we have been looking into cigarettes.
We have come up with some very unfortunate results. We would like to make people aware of the consequences of smoking.
The harmful chemicals found in battery acid, nail polish remover, rat poison and rocket fuel are also found in cigarette smoke. Also, every time someone drops a cigarette and it rains, that stuff enters our water supply.
Smoking is harmful to smokers and the people around them. This is called secondhand smoke. Sadly, secondhand smoke affects people who can't get away from it — like children and babies.
In fact, 60 percent of people who get lung cancer have never smoked a day in their life. Smoking and secondhand smoke kill more than 400,000 Americans every year. We are proud and glad our government has addressed this issue by imposing laws restricting smoking in public places.
And, by the way, while smoke hurts people, the smoker's wallet starts to hurt, too. A person who smokes half a pack a day spends approximately $947.19 a year on cigarettes.

Complaining about leaders is not enough
Like all concerned residents of Oakland, I am appalled at the recent spate of violence and crime in the city, and at the ineptitude and immobilization of the mayor and council.
However, it is not enough to rail against these local politicians who blithely allow the violence to continue unabated.
I would urge everyone to write and call other elected officials whose salaries are paid by you: Gov. Jerry Brown, Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner, state Sen. Loni Hancock, U.S. Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, and Rep. Barbara Lee.
They should be made aware of the carnage in Oakland — and should bring state and federal resources to bear.
Please write and call — not just complain.

Ferries and the police should work together
There are not enough spots at the Alameda ferry parking lot for the ridership, and it is brought to the attention of management daily by the ferry crew.
On Nov. 27, about 30 of us could not find parking and parked across the street on Adelphian Way. We received tickets from the city of Alameda for $38. I contacted the Blue & Gold Ferry Service and was informed there is nothing that can be done to waive the fee.
Wouldn't you think the ferry service and Police Department could work together to provide assistance to their riders and taxpayers?
Or perhaps they are under the impression they are our legislators in D.C., who also do not know that they work for the people either?

U.N. validates the idea of a Palestinian state
The admission of a Palestinian state to United Nations membership is a welcome event because it is a step in the direction of self-determination for Palestinian Arabs and counters Israeli denial in word and deed of the existence of a Palestinian nationality.
Golda Meir, the late prime minister of Israel, most famously expressed Israeli denial of Palestinian nationality, saying there was no such thing as a Palestinian (echoed recently by Newt Gingrich). Successive Israeli governments quite intentionally have made impossible the establishment of a Palestinian state by continually colonizing Palestinian territory.
Additionally, its membership in the United Nations may afford Palestinians a chance of finding justice before the International Criminal Court, something Israel may have reason to fear more than rockets from Gaza.
Israel's violations of international law and war crimes are legion, and a shortlist would include the continued occupation and colonization of the West Bank; the collective punishment of Gaza, including notorious operations Cast Lead and Pillar of Cloud; and a 400-mile-long wall isolating the inhabitants of the West Bank, held to be illegal by the international court.
Genuine peace requires recognition of realities and justice.

The Baylor women's basketball team has a big fan in the Oval Office because of their skill, their grit, their character and, oh, one more thing …
The president of the United States picked them in his office pool to win the NCAA title.
"I want to thank all of the outstanding young women who are behind me, and the coach, for making my bracket look good, at least on the women's side," said President Barack Obama, who welcomed the 2012 NCAA women's basketball champions to the East Room of the White House this afternoon.
The Lady Bears took home the NCAA title after garnering 40 wins en route to an undefeated season. They were unrelentingly dominant throughout their title run, totaling 3,163 points to set a new NCAA women's single-season record. Over its 40 wins, the most ever in a single season by a men's or women's collegiate basketball program, Baylor held its opponents to ice-cold 31 percent shooting from the field.
The president showed off his basketball knowledge during his brief remarks, touching upon the records set and broken by the Lady Bears last season, and commending them for rising from the ashes of their 2011 postseason. That year, Baylor fell to Texas A&M in the Elite Eight, and Obama applauded the team's use of that as motivation for the next year.
"They buckled down, they spent all summer in the gym and they have not lost since. Not to the Aggies and not to anyone else," Obama said.
The president took the time to highlight the contributions of different members of the Lady Bears' roster, including head coach Kim Mulkey, who is the first person in NCAA history to win championship titles as a player, assistant and head coach. Obama joked that the coach, who competed for Louisiana Tech, "plans to win her next one as a mascot."
Drawing a majority of the president's praise was standout center Brittney Griner, who paced her team throughout the season with commanding performances, including a stint as the Final Four's most outstanding player. Griner added 26 points, 13 rebounds and five blocks to help clinch the team's championship in the title game against Notre Dame.
Standing directly behind the president, Griner, in a black vest and purple tie, tried to hide her smile before breaking out into a broad grin as Obama praised her efforts, and admitted he was "scared" to take the court against her.
"This young woman is the new face of women's basketball," Obama said. "She blocks shots, she rebounds, she's got that jump hook, she's got the dunk."
The Lady Bears earned presidential praise for more than just their on-court successes. Obama also highlighted the team's commitment to community service, touching upon their visits to Waco-area elementary schools, soup kitchens and a trip to Kenya, where the Baylor squad worked to build an orphanage.
The most visible face of the team's community touch, however, proudly watched from a prime front-row spot directly in front of the president. Eleven-year-old Haley Klepper, of Waco, who has a rare mitochondrial disease, has been adopted by the Lady Bears and enjoys a special slot in the team's locker room, as well as a seat on the sidelines for home games, and traveled with the team to Washington.
"I could not be prouder of this team. And I was saying to them before we came out, as the father of two daughters, who are tall and beautiful, just like them, it is great to have role models who can show that women can be strong, athletic and competitive, but also play as a team," Obama said. "That's a terrific lesson for my daughters and it's a terrific lesson for girls everywhere."
Before the president wrapped his remarks and stepped down to briefly talk with Klepper and others in the audience, including members of Texas' congressional delegation, he commended the Lady Bears one last time.
"Since they've got all five starters coming back, I suspect that they're the odds-on favorite for my bracket next year," the president said.
The team applauded and cheered, while Mulkey stepped to the podium to deliver some praise of her own, before Griner gave Obama a gray-and-gold Baylor jersey that matched the drapes of the East Room.
"He's the smartest president we've had because he's already filled his bracket out for next year," the head coach said.

After a very tight series in the Optimist, Greece's Alexandros SAZZNIDI came out on top ahead of Bulgaria's Nikolai SAEV and Dimitar VANGELOV. The girls' title went to Bulgaria with Karina VANGELOVA taking the honours, whilst Greece won again in the under 12s competition thanks to Alexander SPASCS.
In the Laser the home sailors had great success taking the top two places with Martin PEJOSKI a clear winner after three bullets from five races. The FYRo Macedonia were guaranteed victory in the Europe, with all the competitors coming from the home country and Alexsandra ZARICIN won with a perfect four point score. There was more home success in the Flying Junior with victory going to Slavco MOŠOSKI and RAKIMOSKI.
Victory in the Mistral went to Aleksandrov STOIL from Bulgaria, who also claimed the 470 crown thanks to OKOV and VAGILEV.

Last Call for Submissions: NREL Student Design Contest for Fuel Cell Vehicle Decals
Feb. 25, 2013
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is hosting a contest for students to design graphic decals for use on three fuel cell hybrid advanced vehicles (FCHV-adv) that NREL recently received on loan from Toyota. Students currently enrolled in a graphic design program at a university, community college, or technical school in the Denver Metro area are invited to participate.
Three winning student designs—one for each vehicle—will be selected based on the design specifications and themes described on the Student Design Contest webpage. Design mockups must be submitted to Hydrogen Education by March 1, 2013.
Once the graphics are applied, NREL will host a public event at its Visitors Center to unveil the vehicles and recognize the winning students. The students whose designs are selected will receive $50 for their design services.
NREL will showcase the vehicles at a variety of events to educate the public about advanced vehicle technologies and to solicit feedback for assessing consumer acceptance and interest in such vehicles.
More about the Vehicles
Based on the Toyota Highlander mid-size sport utility vehicle platform, the FCHV-adv has a fuel cell system with light-weight high-pressure hydrogen gas tanks, an electric motor, a nickel metal hydride battery, and a power-control unit that determines the split of power from the battery or the fuel cell stack to power the vehicle. When the fuel cell is in use, hydrogen is fed to the fuel cell stack where it is combined with oxygen from the air. The electricity produced by this chemical reaction is used to power the electric motor and charge the battery.
In addition to a high fuel economy (estimated 68 miles/kg on-road fuel economy, as verified in 2009 and documented in the Evaluation of Range Estimates for Toyota FCHV-adv report), the vehicles emit no harmful tailpipe emissions—water vapor is the only byproduct.
Filling up on Renewable Hydrogen
The vehicles on loan to NREL are fueled with renewable hydrogen made from wind and solar energy thanks to the Wind-to-Hydrogen Project, which uses wind turbines and photovoltaic arrays to power electrolyzer stacks that split water into hydrogen and oxygen.

As Miss California Latina and Miss Teen California Latina State Director, Jennifer Rodriquez has the awesome responsibility of dealing with hundreds of Latinas across California seeking the opportunity of a lifetime.
Since 2008, Rodriguez has been using her impressive skills and establishing the Miss California Latina brand as one of prestige, which stands for beauty, intelligence, growth, development, opportunity, and community service. Along with her dedication and passion, she developed the program into the largest pageant competition for Latinas in California.
The city of Los Angeles recognized Rodriguez with an award for her success in the community and has been nominated 3 times for the Los Angeles Business Journal's Latino Business Award.
Rodriguez is also one of 22 women in the country selected into the National Hispana Leadership Institute, an organization that provides executive leadership programs for Latinas in the U.S. As a 2013 fellow she completed NHLI executive leadership course at Harvard University John F. Kennedy School of Government.
Also known as "The Bad Girls of Sports", Rodriguez is the co-creator and co-host of "On The Inside Sports" a pod cast sports show, which is the first ever female duo to cover the world of sports.
Splash Magazines asked Rodriguez a few questions about her success as director of the Miss California Latina Organization , the number one pageant for Latinas in California.
Splash Magazines: What makes Miss California Latina different from other pageants?
Jennifer Rodriguez: Aside from the obvious, that it is Latina driven, it focuses heavily on community service. We look to give back, not only to our Latino communities, but the communities overall in the state of California. The program is more than just being about a pretty face. The Miss Latina US national slogan is, "More than a model, a role model," and that is what we strive for. We want to empower young women that other women can identify with. I also think what makes Miss California Latina different is the attention we put towards our contestants. We work to expose them to the best in terms of quality of production and experience. This is not a competition driven just by beauty. It's about the individuals experience, about growth and challenges that will contribute to their personal development and prepare them for tomorrow. We provide a platform for every delegate to express who she is, the goals she wants to obtain and goals she has accomplish. These are some of the elements that, makes us different.
SM: What are the benefits of competing in a pageant like Miss California Latina?
JR: The benefits of competing in a pageant like Miss California Latina, is self-development. I think the skills that you gain from preparing for competition are invaluable. Pageant competition is an excellent tool to learn about discipline, dedication and commitment to yourself. It is a great way to expand your personal growth, and really learn about yourself in the process. That being said, it is extremely important to research any and all pageant competitions before entering them. We work to bring our delegates the highest quality of service, leadership and training, a high class and luxurious event and experience.
SM: What are some of the things Miss California Latina has done to help the community?
JR: We have worked with Habitat for Humanity, which is a program that prepares homes for people in need. We will be working with Habitat for Humanity again this year. We've worked with them for the past two years in Northern California we will be doing Northern California once again as well as Los Angeles and possibly San Diego. We have worked with Safe Passage, which is an organization that helps women that are victims of domestic violence. We have been involved with Padres Contra El Cancer, as well as Para Los Ninos. There are a variety of different community organizations and levels in which we are involved in.
SM: What were some of the highlights for Miss California Latina for you in 2012?
JR: Well, 2012 was defiantly a great year filled with many highlights, it kicked off with our Teen Queen, Jasmine Huerta performing the national anthem in front of 19,000 people at the Golden State Warriors Game. We then had Ana Valencia, placing California 3rd at the Miss Latina US pageant. Our year ended great with some great media exposure. We did a series of media rounds, which was so much fun. We made appearances on "Accesso Total" on Telemundo, on "A Todo Color" on TV Azteca as well as their evening news. It was awesome to be on the set of Clevver Teve with host Vivian Fabiola who is Miss California Latina 2010-2011. And of course the coverage Univision's Premier Impacto did on us was a great highlight. Thanks to Jomari Goyso who also hosted our competition show, he did a great segment on us. It was light, it was so funny, seriously only Jomari could take it there, The fact that we were on a national program like that was huge for us. Much of the work that I do just out of love, more than anything, because I see a real need for this organization. So to meet those kind of milestones is a great feeling.
SM: Were there any special sponsors this past year?
JR: Yes there were! We have, Michael Jordan's Jordan Brand on board, which was phenomenal. Thank you Reggie Sanders for making that happen. The impact of having Jordan Brand as a sponsor was certainly felt. We have Galpin Motor who have been extraordinary with us, thanks to Tony Demaio. We have Arbonne Cosmetics, Carolina Acosta, which was also a big deal, as she is another great Latina supporter filled with so much passion and drive to provided our young women with opportunities of empowerment. We have Sheik Shoes that have been with us since practically day one, and our great supporters Organic Root Stimulator which are so extraordinary and help make us look and feel beautiful.
SM: What should we look forward to in 2013 for Miss California Latina?
JR: We had a milestone year and you can look for us to top our best. Our show in 2012 was a wonderful production choreographed by Chanel Williams and featured some great performers such as Lee England Jr. and Desiree Estrada. You can expect more community involvement from us as well as some special events throughout the states supported by our gracious sponsors, so make sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for those upcoming announcements. Our competition show is set to be held Sunday, December 1st. We will see what surprises come along the way because I feel there are going to be some.
SM: What do you think the future holds for Latinas?
JR: We have an amazing future ahead of us. There are so many beautiful aspects about Latinas that go beyond our rich culture and great looks. Latinas are creators, contributors leaders, educators who live with passion and drive. We continue to grow and we must equip our selves and those who are come after us with tools to achieve greatness so that we can continue to grow, and gow in success. I consider us to be a driving and thriving force in this country. Sonya Sotomayor was the first Latino— and only the fourth woman — to swear in a president or a vice president.with that being said, it's a great time to be a Latina! I think there are a lot of great things in store for us. Miss California Latina is all about celebrating all of those moments, from Sonya Sotomayor to the young women that compete in pageants. It's a celebration of all women and we deserve it!
SM: Is there anybody you'd like to thank in regards to the Miss California Latina Pageant 2012-2013?
JR: To all of our sponsors and supporters, thank you for your kind and generous contributions and taking part in this event

I am trialling a program called Search Maker Pro to help me build a custom search engine.
Software seems to work fairly well. It indexes all content and creates a simple html page using a simple form and javascript.
I already have search form on my pages. What I would like to do is save all the javascript within one javascript file and tell my form to execute it.
Have a look at what I have tried to do at http://www.kenwhitesigns.co.uk (only trying with the home page at the mo). I have told the form that the "action" is "search.js" but when I execute the search bar with a search term, this just displays the .js file. I know the script works, because if I insert it in the header of the page and execute the script using the 'action' method shown at the bottom of search.js, the search works.
Obviously I do not want to go through all the pages and insert all this script in every page because in future I would just like to update the .js file when I reindex the site.
This is probably really simple but I have never used JS before and only started teaching myself HTML about 3 months ago in order to build this website.
Any help would be much appreciated.

WEAC Vice President Peggy Wirtz-Olsen, a Marshfield teacher, joined other educators and parents Tuesday at the Joint Finance Committee hearing in Spooner, asking legislators to support full funding of public schools. "As a teacher, I support children and their dreams, and I make all professions possible," she said. "As legislators, I ask you to make our public school students and those dreams your priority."
Heather DuBois-Bourenane from the Wisconsin Public Education Network captured this and other video from Tuesday's testimony:

I'm writing this behind the din of New York Giants fans. It's now the 24th pick and the giants are on the clock. The jets fans have had their day. Now, it's the Giants turn. But I've got so much to write…Here's Bob McNair
Once the Houston Texans personable owner Bob McNair took the podium in place of his organization's newest employee (not counting unknown front office moves), he immediately hit with the obvious set of Reggie Bush
related questions.
Mr. McNair, as I call him, realizes that it's going to be hard to avoid some ""PR hit as far as fan reaction" as one person put it. "I think that's going to be a temporary situation. It's up to us to go out and win football games. We win football games, they are going to say 'you made the right decision." If we don't win football games, they say 'you're stupid.' anyway, so what difference does that make?
McNair slammed down the perspective of people like me, who immediately thought Bush's rejection by the Texans was a because he wasn't "signable." "They are mistaken because we could have signed either one.
We made the same offer to both of them.
Giants trade 25th pick to Steelers. Giant's fans are going nuts. Steelers take WR Santonio Holmes from Ohio State. Pittsburgh gave the Steelers their first round, third round, and forth round pick for …as my Row mate put it, "One person."
While McNair wants a player that will be in camp, he says to me that it wasn't the reason Bush wasn't selected: "No, I don't think Reggie would have held out. I think we were close enough in the discussions with his agent in terms of the money and everything that we would have been able to reach an agreement. We felt like that Reggie Bush would have a tremendous impact on our offense and would be very exciting. But that
Mario Williams could have the same impact on defense."
Chicago traded it's 26th pick to Buffalo, which is now on the clock. Chicago gets second round and third round selection.

Foot Locker's (NYSE:FL) earnings jumped 17% in the first quarter, as the athletic apparel retailer benefited from stronger sales and margins.
Continue Reading Below
The results easily beat Wall Street estimates, sending shares 2.8% higher to $49.50 in pre-market trading on Friday.
Foot Locker reported a profit of $162 million, or $1.10 a share, compared to $138 million, or 90 cents a share, in the year-ago period. On an adjusted basis, per-share earnings climbed 20 cents to $1.11.
Revenue grew 14% to $1.87 billion. Gross margin widened to 34.6% from 34.2%, even as input costs were up 13% year-over-year.
Analysts were looking for adjusted earnings of $1.06 a share and revenue of $1.79 billion.
"We are off to a great start in 2014, with our first quarter results representing the highest quarterly sales and profits in our history as an athletic company -- for the third consecutive year," chairman and CEO Ken Hicks said in a statement.
Sales at Foot Locker and smaller rival Finish Line (NASDAQ:FINL) have been lifted by strong demand for sneakers and sports apparel, fueled by new offerings from apparel makers like Nike (NYSE:NKE). Foot Locker also acquired Runners Point Group, a specialty athletic store and online retailer based in Germany, for $254 million last year.
In the period ended May 3, Foot Locker's same-store sales increased 7.6%, bucking a downward trend in the retail industry. Many retailers have said severe winter weather hampered results for the first three months of the year.

(Hong Kong) Dragonair today (27 July) announced that its flight schedule integrity is improving while it has been doing its best to put its planes and crew back into position and clear backlogs arising from flight cancellations and diversions as a result of typhoon Vicente and subsequent bad weather in the last few days.
Passengers whose flights are cancelled are advised not to go to the airport. Dragonair will assist with alternative arrangements for affected passengers.
However, the situation continues to be challenging as occasional heavy rains and thunderstorms are still affecting Hong Kong and Mainland China. It is expected that some flights will be delayed each day through the end of the week. Additional flight cancellations may also be necessary to get airplanes and crew back into position. Alternative arrangements have been offered to affected passengers when circumstances permit, given that flight loading is tight in summer peak.
Passengers are advised to first check the airline's website, www.dragonair.com, to get the latest flight information before leaving for the airport.
To ensure customers receive the latest flight status updates via SMS or email, they are advised to update their contact details in Manage My Booking.
The airline will waive re-booking, re-routing, cancellation and refund charges for all tickets issued worldwide (irrespective of fare type) on or before 24 July for travel on Dragonair between now and 29 July.
Dragonair continues to monitor the situation closely and will issue further updates once more information becomes available. The airline regrets any inconvenience this may cause and hopes for passengers' understanding.


text: Jeff and his wife were traveling, and had a hankering for one of Pizza Hut's pasta dishes. They ordered up some starch-laden caloriffic goodness from The Hut's website, then followed up with a phone call to say, "hey, we're staying in a motel, can you send along some plastic forks?" This was evidently too much for the local Pizza Hut to handle. Which is kind of odd, considering that they deliver food and all. [More]

The Veterinary Medical Experiment Station (VMES) was established as a budgetary entity by the state legislature in July 1976 following approval by the University of Georgia Board of Regents in 1973.
The VMES Mission is to conduct research and provide scientific training focused on the improvement of animal and human health, and, the elimination of animal diseases affecting the citizens of Georgia and Georgia's livestock and poultry industries.
VMES Research is focused on food animal diseases because of their importance to Georgia's economy and health of its citizens. High quality human nutrition continues to be a fundamental goal of Georgia's animal-oriented agribusiness leaders. Animal proteins provide essential amino acids either deficient or absent in commonly-consumed plant proteins. In many situations, energy conservation is best accomplished through reliance on farm animals that convert plant materials into food that would otherwise be unavailable for use by humans. Research conducted by the Veterinary Medical Experiment Station ultimately aids in providing the consumer with disease-free animal-based food devoid of potentially harmful drugs, pesticides, and environmental contaminants.
The VMES research facilities and personnel are integrated with those of the College of Veterinary Medicine, in Athens, and the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratories, located in Athens and Tifton. The staff at these facilities are dedicated to solving animal disease problems by providing ready-access to assistance within the state. These resources are capable of quick mobilization to deal with emergency animal disease problems on a large scale that can result from accidental contamination of the food chain or from the introduction of foreign animal diseases. Both routes carry the potential for the devastation of Georgia's valuable livestock industry. Over 150 diseases (zoonoses) are naturally transmitted from vertebrate animals to man. When these diseases affect man, concerns for human well-being are accompanied by economic problems such as the cost of medical care and work-time losses. Prevention, control and eradication of zoonoses are high priorities of the VMES.
To a lesser extent, the VMES also conducts research on diseases of importance to companion animals. The number of companion animals (primarily dogs, cats, and horses) is increasing in Georgia. Pet ownership supports a multibillion-dollar industry, with income related to sales being small relative to expenditures for maintenance and health care. Of equal importance is the enriching effect of these animals on the lives of their owners — an effect incalculable in terms of dollars.
VMES research is conducted through funding provided by a number of sources. Since VMES is an integral part of the College of Veterinary Medicine, many research expenditures are covered partially by the VMES budget and in part by the College's resident instruction budget (primarily salaries). Research is also supported by federal, state, and commercial grants and contracts. Budgets for VMES research projects are on file in the College of Veterinary Medicine, and expenditures are made in accordance with these budgets and standard University of Georgia fiscal policies.
Station researchers are, with a few exceptions, faculty members of the College of Veterinary Medicine. Many have a DVM degree, and most also have PhD degrees. Each researcher has a fixed percentage of time assigned to research, teaching, service and/or administration. The percentage of effort (equivalent faculty time, or EFT) for research varies from 10% to 100%, with a mean value of about 30%. A 20% EFT equates to spending one working day each week on research. Nevertheless, involvement in research often far exceeds the assigned EFT as reflected by laboratory night work and weekend research report writing. Furthermore, VMES researchers are committed to doing the job well, and only results, not hours spent, counts in scientific research. VMES researchers strive to translate results into disease problem solutions as soon as possible.

Stamp files for Tux Paint, a paint program for children
Tux Paint is meant to be a simple drawing program for young children. It is not meant as a general-purpose drawing tool. It IS meant to be fun and easy to use. Sound effects and a cartoon character help let the user know what's going on, and keeps them entertained.
Tux Paint is extensible. Brushes and "rubber stamp" shapes can be dropped in and pulled out. For example, a teacher can drop in a collection of animal shapes and ask their students to draw an ecosystem. Each shape can have a sound which is played, and textual facts which are displayed, when the child selects the shape.
There is no direct access to the computer's underlying intricacies. The current image is kept when the program quits, and reappears when it is restarted. Saving images requires no need to create filenames or use the keyboard. Opening an image is done by selecting it from a collection of thumbnails.
This package contains sounds, images and other data for Tux Paint.

text: Thanks to the unselfishness of the campus and community, Penn State New Kensington donated 43 units of blood during the semi-annual blood drive on Oct. 24. Students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends showed that the blue and white of Penn State could bleed red for the community. The donations helped increase the blood supply in the local community in the Alle-Kiski Valley. The staff of the Alle-Kiski Medical Center reported that not only did the red cell units increase their inventory, but that they were able to make platelets and fresh frozen plasma so several patients at AKMC could benefit from the one donation. Since 2006, the campus community and alumni have donated more than 600 units of blood to AKMC for use in the local area. The blood drive was made possible through the efforts of donors, canteen volunteers and Elaine Zarichnak, the campus nurse. The next campus blood drive is in April. Donors are eligible again in 56 days after giving, so the campus community doesn't have to wait until the spring drive to give blood.

Shop Online Safely This Holiday Season
What can a security-conscious consumer do to shop safely online this holiday season?
While Black Friday marked the beginning of holiday shopping in stores around the country, many consumers are increasingly counting on online deals to find the best gifts. In a PriceGrabber.com survey of 4,958 U.S. online shoppers, 41 percent of consumers said they planned to shop online on Cyber Monday, the first Monday after the long Thanksgiving weekend. Almost a third of respondents planned to shop online after looking for sales during the Black Friday weekend, and 29 percent planned to take advantage of Cyber Monday deals to get their shopping done early.
Retailers aren't the only ones prepping deals; cyber-criminals are paying attention, too. Consumers scouring the Web for amazing deals and acting quickly before special offers expire are highly vulnerable to email messages and posts on social networks containing malicious links.
The following are some tips from SecurityWatch and IDentityTheft 911 for safe online shopping:
Shop on Legitimate, Secure Sites
Enter credit card numbers or other payment information only on secure sites. Many shopping sites won't bother with HTTPS when yo66u are just browsing and adding items to your shopping cart, but the second you initiate the checkout process, the site should switch to using HTTPS to encrypt all the information being transmitted. The URL will show the string https:// and the URL will display a green bar and/or a padlock icon.
Many retailers send emails promoting offers and embed a link back to the shopping site. Scammers do the same thing, except their links generally wind up somewhere bad. Get in the habit of not clicking on links in emails. If you know the link is legitimate, type it directly into the browser.
But! Watch out for those typos! There are plenty of typo-squatting sites out there where scammers registered commonly-misspelled-names as the domain name, such as pple.com or abpple.com instead of Apple.com, lnadsend.com for Land's End, and victoriesecrets.com for Victoria's Secret, to name just a few.
Protect Your Data
Many retailers offer to save your personal information and credit card number to speed up future purchases or offer better deals. Considering the number of customer databases getting breached and personal identifying information being exposed, the risks outweighs the benefits.
Speaking of personal identifying information, no legitimate retailer will ever ask you to enter your Social Security number as part of the buying process. Retail sites will also never ask for passwords to email and bank accounts. If you are using PayPal or similar online payment options, you will be redirected to the site first (check the URL to make sure you are in the right place).
If you are prompted for a password or Social Security number, you are on a phishing page. Close that Web browser immediately without submitting any information and scan your computer to make sure you haven't been infected.
Never, ever, send payment information via email. Legitimate retailers will have a secure HTTPS site or offer a phone option.
Protect Your Accounts
Make sure you are using different passwords for online retailers, personal email and banks accounts. If a retailer is breached and your password is compromised, you don't want your other accounts to be at risk because you reused the credentials.
IDentityTheft 911 suggests using credit cards instead of debit cards when shopping online because credit cards generally have better protection in case of fraud. IdentityTheft 911 also recommends not linking a bank account to an online payment service such as PayPal, since if the account is ever compromised, it would give criminals direct access to all your money.
Protect Your Devices
Download and install all the latest updates for the operating system, Web browser, and other vulnerable software (such as Adobe Flash, Adobe Reader, and Java). Make sure antivirus, anti-malware and firewall software is installed and up-to-date. Don't forget to protect mobile devices, too.

Some Commencement Speakers Cancelled, But Not Jim Carrey and 'P. Diddy'
The year 2014 was a hard sell for Universities. Several high profile people –think, Condoleezza Rice, Robert J. Birgeneau, and International Monetary Fund's Christine Lagarde— backed out of commencement activities due to student opposition or other controversial reasons leaving schools with limited possibilites.
But all was not lost, as several celebrity notables hit the podium to usher the class of 2014 into the real world.
And, while everyone can't be Steve Jobs or David Foster Wallace , many delivered quotable moments to the future entrepreneurs, workers, inventors and artists.

"Men will be held accountable for the things which they have and not for the things they have not. … All the light and intelligence communicated to them from their beneficent creator, whether it is much or little, by the same they in justice will be judged, and … they are required to yield obedience and improve upon that and that only which is given, for man is not to live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God."
—Joseph Smith, Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith (2007), 405

"Partially losing my hearing has helped me develop patience for others, especially those with disabilities. It has helped me find faith to accept affliction. It has given me clarity to realize that instant, miraculous cures are not always the Lord's will. In fact, sometimes just the opposite is true. …
"While afflictions are never easy, all of them can give us experience and can be for our good (see D&C 122:7)."

Understanding Japanese Knitting Patterns with Gayle RoehmThe creative and often unusual work of Japanese designers can open up another world of knitting for you. Even without a word of Japanese, an experienced knitter can work from a Japanese pattern, once familiar with the graphic format in which they're presented. In the morning, we'll learn how to "read" a schematic, and how to find basic information such as size, gauge, shaping, yarn requirements and needles. In the afternoon, we'll focus on the stitch symbology used in pattern charts, which are standard among all Japanese publishers. We'll also swatch a few stitch patterns of varying levels of difficulty. Bring any Japanese patterns that you may have questions about.
Note: You must be very comfortable knitting from charts.
SuppliesSmooth, non-textured yarn (leftovers are fine) and appropriate sized needles for swatching. Suggested: sport to worsted weight yarn and your preferred needles sized 5 to 8. A second color is optional.
Sharp scissors, notebook, pen or pencil with an eraser, stitch markers, blunt tapestry needles (large and small), flexible tape measure, small calculator, and needles & crochet hooks of various sizes.

By Justin Tang
LOS ANGELES -- Kenneth Venner, the Executive Vice President of Corporate Services and CIO of Broadcom, spoke to dozens of UCLA Anderson students and professors for the Easton Technology Leadership Program. The Easton Technology Leadership program seeks to promote business leadership among Anderson students with technical backgrounds, such as engineering and technology.
Venner offered his keys to management and leadership in a technical industry by using his learning experiences at Broadcom. "For me, you can read all of the books and take all of the classes you want, but at the end of the day you learn the most by trial and error," said Venner. Using his trial and error, he established certain principles for great leadership.
First, he defined leadership as casting a vision for a group of individuals and leading them to work towards a shared vision. He emphasized trusting his colleagues and verifying that trust with results. "I believe people want to do the right thing...people are smart, innovative, and creative. This belief empowers me to trust your work, however if that trust is broken, then it is difficult to earn back," said Venner. He also highlighted listening, storytelling, and praising as key attributes of a good leader.
Lastly, he spoke on the future of information technology. He advised the audience of students not to dismiss the importance of IT. Venner concluded, "IT is one of the most exciting careers out there today because IT is a critical component of any company or organization."
