Ginny Creager was 5 years old when her brother T.C. Ritz received a Boettcher Scholarship — a prestigious, full-ride, four-year scholarship to any Colorado university that is awarded to only 40 high school seniors every year.
When she found out, she asked, "Mom, can you make me a Boettcher?" her mother, Rhonda Ritz-Creager, has told her.
Her mom didn't make the scholarship, of course, but Creager herself is now a Boettcher Scholar, following in the footsteps of her brother and her sister, Kelley Ritz, who won in 2006.
The 18-year-old Frederick High School senior got the news on March 14. The envelope contained a letter of congratulations, a handbook of expectations, a letter to return to accept the scholarship and another to decline it.
"The letter of decline was blue. I just tore it up. I just tore it up right there," Creager said Tuesday.
That same afternoon in Longmont, Skyline High School senior Tim Finnegan saw on Facebook that other finalists had received letters offering the scholarship or relaying bad news.
"I knew it was in the mailbox at home," Finnegan said Thursday. But obligations kept him at school until 4:30 p.m. "The anticipation had been building up."
The 18-year-old was overwhelmed to learn that he, too, was a winner.
"I was just, kind of, no words, no idea what to say," Finnegan said. According to Boettcher Foundation spokeswoman Kristi Arellano, he is the first Skyline High student to win the scholarship since 1990.
This is the third consecutive year that one or more students in the St. Vrain Valley School District has received a Boettcher Scholarship. Finnegan applied in part because Kristina Lu, a graduate of Mead High School, won last year.
Lu and Finnegan both attend Calvary Church in north Longmont. When he talked to Lu about what she did to win, he realized he was qualified.
"It was kind of a no-brainer. Might as well apply for it," Finnegan said.
To be selected for a Boettcher Scholarship, students must show, "superior scholastic ability, evidence of potential leadership, service to community and school, (and) outstanding character," according to the Boettcher Foundation's website.
Their scholastic ability can't be questioned. Creager is ranked second in her class and expects to graduate in May with 18 hours of college credit, thanks to the Advanced Placement and CUGold classes she's taken, she said.
She wants to major in social justice and minor in leadership at the University of Denver. While she admitted she doesn't have her future figured out, she expects to work for a nonprofit organization or a business that helps people.
"I'm passionate about helping people, so I'm sure I'll help people in some way," Creager said.
Finnegan is enrolled in Skyline High's STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) Academy; a certificate from that Academy requires 28 credit hours instead of the district's 24.5 hours for graduation. He is ranked first in his class, with 55 hours of Advanced Placement credit, according to his father, David Finnegan.
"I was always interested in science-and-math type of things," Tim Finnegan said. But the STEM Academy's emphasis on engineering made him realize he doesn't want to be an engineer.
Instead, Tim Finnegan plans to become a pharmacist, specializing in oncology. He expects to major in bio-chemistry at Colorado State University in Fort Collins.
Even with those challenging academic loads, Creager and Finnegan contribute plenty of their time and talents to their communities.
As a junior, Creager received the Dottie Lamm Award from the Women's Foundation of Colorado, recognizing her leadership and philanthropic work. In February, she was one of two Colorado high school students to receive The Prudential Spirit of Community Award, which honors teens for outstanding volunteerism.
Much of Creager's volunteer efforts are spent at meetings or giving presentations for TERA (Teens Ending Relationship Abuse), a program of the Safe Shelter of St. Vrain Valley. She mentors middle school girls through Smart Girls; belongs to the Frederick Youth Commission, which provides "Thanksgiving in a box" to low-income residents in the Carbon Valley; and was a founding member of Rachel's Challenge, dedicated to reducing bullying and increasing kindness, at Frederick High School.
"This is what I love. I love helping people," Creager said. "It's hindered my social life, but it is my social life."
Through the Boy Scouts, Finnegan learned leadership techniques that give others the confidence to "solve the problems I'm asking them to solve," he said.
Completing his Eagle Scout project and working in the St. Vrain Valley School District's Innovation Center has given him the opportunity to practice those leadership skills.
This spring, Finnegan and the other Innovation Center employees are planning a STEM mini-camp for elementary school students to attend this summer. He was the project manager when a team created the framework for Calvary Church's website.
"I really learned a lot about how to manage time and how to manage people," he said.
Finnegan also serves as a mentor to middle school students through his church.
"Mentoring is a way so you don't have to learn from your own mistakes," Finnegan said. Instead, the protege can take advantage of the mentor's wisdom.
"It's a pretty cool way to share my life experience with those younger than me."

Early years
Bax was born in Pendennis Road, Streatham, London, into a Victorian upper-middle-class family of Dutch descent. He grew up in Ivy Bank, a mansion on top of Haverstock Hill, Hampstead, where he attended Heath Mount School. In Bax, A Composer and His Times (2007), Lewis Foreman suggests that, because of the family affluence, Bax never had to take a paid position and was free to pursue most of his interests. From an early age, he showed that he had a powerful intellect and great musical talent, especially at the keyboard. He often enjoyed playing the Wagner operas on piano. One of his first intimate meetings with art music was through Tristan und Isolde and its influence is seen in many of his later works, Tintagel for example. Bax was taught at home, but received his first formal musical education at age 16 from Cecil Sharp and others at the Hampstead Conservatoire. He was accepted to the Royal Academy of Music in 1900, where he remained until 1905. At the Academy, he was taught composition byFrederick Corder, the piano by Tobias Matthay and the clarinet by Egerton. In his composition classes, Corder emphasized the examples of Franz Liszt and Richard Wagner and pointed to their liberal approach to classical form, which led Bax to develop a similar attitude. He had an exceptional ability to sight-read and play complex orchestral scores at the piano, which won him several medals at the Academy and he also won prizes for best musical composition, including the Battison-Haynes prize and the competitive Charles Lucas Medal.
Bax discovers Ireland
Bax had a sensitive and searching soul and drew inspiration from a wide range of sources. He was a voracious reader of literature and in this way he happened upon William Butler Yeats's The Wanderings of Oisin and Other Poems in 1902. He proved highly receptive to the soft, melancholy moods of the Irish Literary Revival and found in Yeats a powerful muse, from which he derived a lifetime of inspiration. He developed an infatuation with Ireland and began travelling extensively there. He visited the most isolated and secluded places, eventually discovering the little Donegal village Glencolumbkille, to which he returned annually for almost 30 years. Here, he drew inspiration from the landscape and the sea, and from the culture and life of the local Irish peasants, many of whom he regarded as close friends. His encounter with the poetry of Yeats and the landscapes of Ireland resulted in many new works, both musical and literary. The String Quartet in E (1903), which later was worked into the orchestral tone poemCathaleen-Ni-Houlihan (1905), is a fine example of how he began to reflect Ireland in his music. Not only did he emerge as a surprisingly mature composer with these works, he also developed in them floating and undulating 'impressionistic' musical textures using orchestral techniques not yet heard—not even from Claude Debussy. Many of the works he wrote in the period from 1903 to 1916 can be seen as musical counterparts to the Irish Literary Revival. The tone-poems Into The Twilight (1908), In The Faery Hills (1909) and Rosc-catha [Battle hymn] (1910) echo the themes of the Revival and especially the soft, dreamy mood of many poems and stories.
Conglomerate of influences
The Irish influence is only one of many found in Bax's music. An early affinity with Norway and the literature of Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson brought themes and moods from the Nordic countries into his music. From 1905 to 1911, Bax constantly alternated between using Nordic and Celtic themes in his compositions. He even attempted to teach himself some Norwegian and, in the song The Flute (1907) for voice and piano, he successfully set an original poem by Bjørnson to music. Later examples of Bax's Nordic affinity include Hardanger for two pianos (1927) and the orchestral tone-poem The Tale the Pine-Trees Knew (1931).
In 1910, a youthful fling with a Ukrainian girl, Natalia Skarginska, brought Bax to St. Petersburg, Moscow and Lubny, near Kiev, which led to a fascination for Russian and Slavonic themes. The relationship with Skarginska resulted in an emotional agony from which he never completely recovered. His conflicting feelings are perhaps reflected in the First Piano Sonata in F sharp (1910, revised 1917-20). The Russian and Ukrainian influence can also be heard in two works for solo piano from 1912,Nocturne–May Night in the Ukraine and Gopak (Russian dance).
In 1915 appeared In a Vodka Shop also for solo piano. In 1919, Bax was one of four British composers to be commissioned to write orchestral music to serve as interludes at Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in London. For the commission, he incorporated the three above-mentioned piano works of Russian themes intoRussian Suite for orchestra. In 1920, he wrote incidental music to J. M. Barrie's whimsical play The Truth About the Russian Dancers, his last work based on a clearly Russian theme. The Russian influence may be found in many of Bax's other scores and is especially predominant in his first three symphonies.
Rathgar circle
In January 1911, not long after he returned to Britain, Bax married Elsita Sobrino, a childhood friend. They settled in Bushy Park Road, Rathgar, Dublin. Here Bax's brother Clifford introduced them to the intellectual circle which met at the house of the poet, painter and mystic George William Russell. Bax had already had some of his poems and short stories published in Dublin and to the circle he was simply known by the pseudonym Dermot O'Byrne (the name was possibly inspired by a renowned family of traditional musicians in Donegal).
As Dermot O'Byrne, he was specifically noted for Seafoam and Firelight, published in London by the Orpheus Press in 1909 and numerous short stories and poems published in different media in Dublin. It was at Russell's house where Bax one night met Irish Republican Patrick Pearse. According to Bax, they got on very well and, although they met only once, the execution of Pearse following the Easter Rebellion in 1916 prompted him to compose several laments, the most noted being In Memoriam Patric Pearse (1916), which contains the dedication 'I gCuimhne ar Phádraig Mac Piarais'.
Alienation, conflict and success
The threat of war led to the dissolution of the Rathgar Circle as many members fled Ireland and Europe. Bax and his family returned to London; it was the loss of a blissful life. A heart condition prevented Bax from enlisting, and he spent the war years composing profusely. Although World War I unleashed previously unimagined horrors upon the world, it was the Easter Rebellion and the destruction of Dublin that especially disturbed Bax.
As his Ireland, a haven and a retreat, was lost to bitter conflict and war, he sought refuge in a liaison with the younger pianist Harriet Cohen. What had started out as a purely professional alliance—Cohen playing and championing Bax's piano music—developed into a passionate relationship. Yet their love could not be sanctioned by the contemporary social code, which brought to both parties considerable emotional suffering.
This difficult period in Bax's life led to the composition of several tone-poems, including Summer Music (1916), Tintagel (1917) and November Woods (1914–1917). In Tintagel, Bax reached back to legends and dreams—specifically that of the doomed lovers Tristan and Isolde. It includes a colourful evocation of the sea. Bax's relationship with Cohen led some commentators to assume a Freudian link between Bax's alleged sexual passion and the sea-theme in Tintagel.
However, the opening of Harriet Cohen's private papers and the research into them by scholars, such as the Norwegian musicologist Thomas Elnaes, indicates that such a link is at best speculative. Bax's works from this time reflect deep psychological conflicts that point forward to the passionate yet deeply troubled First Symphony in E flat, completed in 1922. After the war, British music was in demand as never before in England; and Bax won considerable fame with his works, which were widely performed.
Morar period
From 1928 onwards, Bax ceased to travel to Glencolumbkille and instead began his annual migration to Morar, in the west Scottish Highlands, to work. He would sketch his compositions in London and take them to the Station Hotel at Morar for the winter, in order to orchestrate them. At this time, he found a new love in Mary Gleaves; and she accompanied him to Scotland.
In the Morar period, which lasted until the outbreak of World War II, Bax rediscovered his interest in Norway and the Nordic countries, and found a new musical hero in Sibelius. At Morar, he orchestrated Symphonies Nos. 3 to 7 and several of his finest orchestral works, including the three Northern Ballads (No. 5 is actually dedicated to Sibelius and shares something of his stylistic austerity).
All seven of Bax's symphonies were composed within a relatively short span of time (1922–39) and are all in three movements. They earned Bax a reputation as the successor to Elgar, as Vaughan Williams, for instance, had only completed four symphonies by the time Bax had completed his seventh (Vaughan Williams's fourth is actually dedicated to Bax).
Peter Pan of composers
Bax received a knighthood in 1937 (Knight Bachelor), but he was not entirely prepared to enjoy this honour. He contended that there was a conflict between the knighthood and his profound affinity with Ireland, but accepted nonetheless. A feeling that his creative energies were drained started to manifest itself. Bax explained to his friends that he felt tired, restless and lonely. He contended that he had a hard time 'growing up'. His increasing age depressed him, and he started to drink heavily. He also felt alienated by the new modernistic fashions in music, and realised, to his sorrow, that his style was falling out of critical favour.
In 1938 his Violin Concerto appeared. It was written for Jascha Heifetz, who disliked it and never played it; instead, it was premiered in 1942 by Eda Kersey (1904–44).
In 1942, Bax was appointed Master of the King's Musick, a decision the British musical establishment was not altogether happy with. To many, Bax was an atypical English composer, some especially pointing to the 'Irishness' of his music.
Of his later works, only the film scores for Malta G.C. and Oliver Twist were really successful. They earned Bax a renewed public acclaim, but their popularity could not compensate for his being considered old-fashioned by many younger composers and critics. He retreated from the public scene and lived quietly at the White Horse Hotel in Storrington, Sussex.
Ireland reaches out
In 1929, Feis Maitiú Corcaigh, a prestigious music festival organized by the Capuchin Fathers, invited Bax to become an adjudicator. It was Irish pianist Tilly Fleischmann who suggested him, knowing that he was familiar with Ireland and Irish conditions. This was also the first time Bax met Irish musicians in Ireland, other than folk musicians. In Cork, he was introduced to such outstanding musicians as the pianistCharles Lynch and singer Maura O'Connor, both of whom went on to give many performances of Bax's music.
Bax's first visit to Cork marked the beginning of a 24-year friendship with the Fleischmann family. As performances of Bax's music grew increasingly rare in Britain, Tilly Fleischmann demonstrated to Bax that his music had wide appeal in Ireland. Bax, however, did little to act on this, or to support further efforts; and his music was not heard nationwide in Ireland until Aloys Fleischmann began conducting his orchestral works with the Irish Radio Orchestra in Dublin just after the end of the war. In 1946, Bax became an external examiner with both University College Cork and University College Dublin, and he also gave individual tuition to aspiring young Irish composers. He received an honorary doctorate degree from the National University of Ireland in 1947.
In 1953, Bax was further honoured by appointment as a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (KCVO), an honour within the Queen's personal gift. He died during a visit to the Fleischmanns later that year, possibly from a complication of his heart condition. One of his last compositions was Coronation March for Queen Elizabeth II.
Not long before he died, Bax was asked by the editor of the The World of Music which were his own preferred works. He provided the following selection:
- The Garden of Fand (1916)
- Symphony No. 3 (1929)
- Winter Legends (1930)
- The Tale the Pine Trees Knew (1931)
- Symphony No. 6 (1935)
On another occasion, he said, of his Concerto for Cello and Orchestra, which had been commissioned by and dedicated to Gaspar Cassadó, "The fact that nobody has ever taken up this work has been one of the major disappointments of my musical life".
He died at age 69 and was interred in St. Finbarr's Cemetery, Cork.

I too am addicted to toilets, and oddly enough to mob films as well. I have seen all the Godfather films and all the Sopranos Episodes. The only difference between Bears and Mob Bosses is their accents. Italian bears... just seems weird. Bears seem way too North American to have Italian or Italian American Accents.
Back to your point, they do kill everything that gets in their way, and the deaths are always very messy and very bloody.
The problem with your drawing though is that bears are way to health conscious to smoke and I actually think that Smokey the bear was a really hot female bear that all the other bears thought was smoking hot. I'd like to see your version of that Smokey the bear.

Schedule: 6 sessions; once a week for six weeks
Class Dates: 7-10pm on Wednesdays June 19, 26, July 3, 10, 17, and 24
Class size: 12 students maximum
Class length: 3 hours (18 hours total)
Prerequisite: Foundation 2
This six-session workshop is designed to help improvisers work on specific skill development through scene work.
The goal of the class is to give you direct feedback about your individual improv work. Coaches will help students identify ways in which they can more fully embody the basic improv principles, as well as identifying areas for improvement.
The focus in Foundation 3 is on performance-oriented scene work, ensemble, character, acting, and other advanced improv skills. The smaller class size gives students more opportunity to work in class and gives coaches a chance to provide more detailed evaluation and feedback. Since the there is a focus on your individual work, Foundation 3 is a great tune-up class for students of all levels and can be taken multiple times.
The first class session includes a group discussion to outline the each student's personal improv goals and objectives. The rest of the classes will use exercises to give the coach a chance to observe students work and give side coaching and feedback.
Students who attend at least five of the six Foundation 3 classes are eligible to move on to Performance 1. However, at the final Foundation 3 session, the coach will provide specific feedback to the player and provide a recommendation for the next class. For example, the coach may suggest that the player would be well-served to take Foundation 3 again and work on a particular aspect of their play. However, it is at the student's discretion as to the next class they take.
Students who want to continue on a performance track with BATS should work on embracing success with the following skills:
Be enjoyable
* Are you fun to watch?
* Are you fun to play with?
Be spontaneous:
* Pay attention
* Make eye contact
* Accept offers
* Yes, and
Be a good team player:
* Make your partner look good
* Develop professional theatre behavior
* Display flexibility when dealing with fellow players

* Have good vocal projection
* Move with flexibility and comfort on stage

El Triunfador cigars are another Pete Johnson/Don Pepin Garcia collaboration blended with an all-Nicaraguan leaf center rolled in lush natural Ecuadorian Habano wrappers - a radical departure from the original Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper blend released in 2008. The smoke starts out medium bodied, edging up to a complex, full-bodied experience laced with flavors of coffee bean, roasted nuts and some caramel on the finish. A 'must-try' for the more experienced cigar lover. Order your box now.

Family and Civilization is the magnum opus of Carle Zimmerman, a distinguished sociologist who taught for many years at Harvard University. In this unjustly forgotten work Zimmerman demonstrates the close and causal connections between the rise and fall of different types of families and the rise and fall of civilizations, particularly ancient Greece and Rome, medieval and modern Europe, and the United States. Zimmerman traces the evolution of family structure from tribes and clans to extended and large nuclear families to the small nuclear families and broken families of today. And he shows the consequences of each structure for the bearing and rearing of children; for religion, law, and everyday life; and for the fate of civilization itself.
Originally published in 1947, this compelling analysis predicted many of today's cultural and social controversies and trends, including youth violence and depression, abortion and homosexuality, the demographic collapse of Europe and of the West more generally, and the displacement of peoples. This new edition, part of ISI Books' Background series, has been edited and abridged by cultural commentator James Kurth of Swarthmore College and includes essays on the text by Kurth, Allan Carlson, and Bryce Christensen.

|What They're Saying...
"Why should we read Dr. Zimmerman today? For one thing, the future isn't fated. We might learn from history and make choices that avert the calamities that overtook Greece and Rome." —Rod Dreher
"This distinguished book is full of discouraging words about recurring historical trends that destroy domestic families—no matter their country, class, or creed. Sunnier souls might discount the impact of increasing numbers of atomistic families around us, but optimists and pessimists alike will be shaken by the scholarly projections in this account." —New Oxford Review
"[Family and Civilization] becomes more relevant with each passing day. The book was amazingly prescient when it was first published, and, like all genuinely relevant and prescient works, its insights into the future derived from a profound comprehension of the past. The republication of one of the twentieth century's most important social scientific works is an event to be celebrated." —Brad Lowell Stone, professor of sociology, Oglethorpe University

100g light muscovado sugar
230g golden syrup
1 egg
150ml milk – I used semi-skimmed
225g self raising flour
150g icing sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
How very regal! Love the cases and the flavours sound gorgeous!! I also could eat golden syrup straight from the tub, no shame!
I like the sound of a topping that tastes like ice-cream. I bought some cream cheese hoping to make a carrot cake, but spent too much time watching Jubilee specials on TV, so the cake did not materialise. I could use the cheese for cup cakes....
They look wonderful and I love the soun dof the sticky surface. Yum! I bet the slightly sour cream cheese is wonderful with the sweet cake. Bet they would taste yummy warm too :)
They look delicious! I like the idea of golden syrup pudding in a cupcake! The icing sounds great - like it would cut the sweetness perfecly. I wonder if these would work with a proportion of black treacle instead of some of the golden syrup... mmmm!
These look wonderful! I love the sound of a golden syrup cupcake, and cream cheese frosting is definitely one of my favourites. I may be deceiving myself but I manage to convince myself it's a bit healthier than using all butter. It certainly doesn't tend to taste as sweet to me. :)
My word that's an enormous amount of syrup - I know you don't like to give quantities for wholly valid reasons which I completely support...but could you say approximately how many cakes you got out of this mix?
And also could you ever do a short post on how you do your piping? I find a lot of small cake recipes seem to expect you to shovel on the same weight of buttercream (etc) as cake...and while I am not averse to a spot of buttercream I do think cake is the important bit of, er, cake.
It's been lovely to read your posts again :-)
Hi Bugs
You get 12 cupcakes from this recipe - yes, it is a lot of syrup but oh so worth it! The original recipe said to brush more over the top when they came out the oven but I decided against that!
Sure thing, re the piping. I always make the amount of buttercream the recipe states but use my judgement re how much actually makes it onto the cake
Happy baking
Look georgeous and delicious, absolutely nice!
Wow they sound amazing - what a good combination!! And they look lovely too!
wow if these are Mr CC's new favourite cupcake then I MUST try them. Plus I love golden syrup. I made maple syrup cupcakes earlier and paired with with cream cheese frosting as well. Love the flag decorations too - I really must do another Lakeland shop :)
Oh! Oh! A *GOLDEN SYRUP* cupcake??? I must have been VERY good in my past life!
Two things, though. Do you think these could carry a filling of...say...rhubarb curd? And since when does Mr CC like vanilla things? I thought he was anti-vanilla. :)
Hi Lisa Marie
Personally, I wouldn't go with the rhubarb - it's a strong flavour and I think it might intrude.
Mr CC is fickle and changeable. Unless I tell him vanilla's in something he doesn't spot it; if I tell him it is then it's "overpowering". Men, huh?
Happy baking
They look super yummy!
Gosh, the mess I used to get into before the Golden Syrup squeezy bottles came around! What a pain it was! :)
These Golden syrup cupcakes look elegant with lovely vanilla cream cheese frosting! So inviting & just love to have one right now to go with my tea! :)
A perfect recipe for the Jubilee - hope you are enjoying the celebrations. BTW, I love the Queen and Prince Phillip on your cake below.
Oh! They look perfect - but I must take issue with your use of the squeezy bottle golden syrup - you don't get to lick the spoon when you use those bottles!
Hi KitchenMaid
Good point, but I'm all about ninja stealth!
Happy baking
I've just made these, and they were delicious!!! I got 17 cupcakes from the mix, and I was a bit worried as it was very runny, but it all worked out in the end! Thanks for the recipe.
Fab cakes and cream cheese frosting is always delicious.
I really like this flavour combination - it's lovely to see golden syrup taking centre stage! Plus I can never resist cream cheese frosting.
I made these this weekend, and I can say that these are our new favourite cupcakes. I love the amount of golden syrup used, no mistaking the flavour.

Athletic shoes and accessories retailer The Finish Line Inc. this March generated 80% higher click-through rates in its Final Four e-mail messages than in the same campaign last year, says Aaron Buchanan, the retailer's e-mail marketing manager.
The retailer used technology from e-mail provider Movable Ink that detected which of the Final Four colleges a customer was closest to when he opened the message and then loaded images and products specific to that school.
"In this scenario, we're not going to sell a ton of the products because only so many people love Wichita State, for example, but the engagement rate is what's really important," Buchanan says. The Finish Line's main goal was to get users to click through the messages to its web site and keep them interacting with the retailer, he says.
The Finish Line set up rules for the campaign so that anyone in the state of one of the Final Four schools, say Kentucky, would open the message to find a central image and products with the logo or mascot of that team, in this case, Louisville, Buchanan says. The messages also loaded content particular to a school for anyone within a 100-mile radius of its campus, he says. That way, customers on the border of Michigan in Toledo, OH, who tend to be Michigan fans, would get still get Michigan Wolverines content, he says.
There were two exceptions in the campaign, Buchanan says. Customers who were not in one of the Final Four schools' home states or within 100 miles of the school, and customers The Finish Line identified as fans of one of the Final Four that did not fit any location criteria. In the first case, the Finish Line sent customers an e-mail promoting all four schools. In the second scenario, it sent them a message tailored to their preference based on a map from sports media web site Deadspin that determined consumers' preference for a Final Four school by U.S. county using the Facebook data of a county's constituents, Buchanan says. That way, if residents of a California county overwhelmingly identified on Facebook as Syracuse fans, The Finish Line sent them Syracuse-themed Final Four messages, he says.
Movable Ink also enables the Finish Line to send auto-adjusted videos in e-mail messages, he says. It detects the type of device and e-mail service a customer is using to read a message and optimizes the type of video it embeds accordingly. For example, an iPad can support playing an HTML video in an e-mail message, but an older e-mail service on a desktop may not be able to. In the latter case, Movable Ink may send a message with a static image that includes a play button; when a customer clicks, it links her to a web page to watch the video.
Including video in e-mails has boosted engagement, in the form of click-through rates, significantly, Buchanan says—enough that Finish Line now includes videos in e-mails every time a brand has one available for a new product.
Movable Ink pays for itself several times over each month, he says, declining to say exactly what the Finish Line pays for the service.
The Finish Line is No. 151 in the Internet Retailer 2013 Top 500 Guide.

Music Box Christmas Show
Music Box Theatre's annual Christmas Show will feature "It's a Wonderful Life" and "White Christmas," with a Christmas carol singalong and a visit from you-know-who. The 29-year tradition has brought audiences from around the world to cheer for George Bailey's (James Stewart) happy ending and sigh with glee as Bob (Bing Crosby) and Betty (Rosemary Clooney) and Phil (Danny Kaye) and Judy (Vera-Ellen) find love after the curtain closes. Why go: No matter how many times you've seen it, every time you hear "Clarence! Get me back! I don't care what happens to me! Get me back to my wife and kids! ... I wanna live again" (and it begins to snow) or Crosby's rendition of Irving Berlin's "White Christmas," aww, gee, the heartstrings get pulled. Reconsider: Yes, the holiday programming on TV has been streamlined this year, but you have had your fill of the Grinch, Scrooge and Clarence. Friday through Dec. 24 at Music Box Theatre, 3733 N. Southport Ave.; $12-$14, $17-$20 for double feature, $10 for children under 13; 773-871-6604, musicboxtheatre.com

Additional Features for Ultra Street Fighter 4 Revealed
Direct uploading to YouTube, Training Mode access during fight queues and automatically archived footage are all being added to Ultra Street Fighter 4.
When Capcom said it was adding a plethora of bonus features into Ultra Street Fighter 4, it wasn't lying. Some of these new features are things we have been hoping the fighting game genre would utilize for quite sometime. Ultra Street Fighter 4 will include an Offline Battle Log. When the Offline Battle Log is enabled, every match you play offline will automatically be recorded and archived, so you can watch every match you ever had with your friends at home and watch the replay together right after.
Ultra Street Fighter 4 will also be including the Upload to YouTube feature. This means that you will be able to directly upload your favorite matches and the worst beatings you've ever dished out onto YouTube straight from your console without having to visit some third party program or website.
The latest feature announced is the one we will love the most: Training Mode Fight Requests. Whenever you wait for a new challenger online, whether its in a lobby or simply waiting for a random match to queue, you can play Training Mode to stay in the zone and keep practicing all of your tactics.
Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition owners can buy Ultra Street Fighter 4 as a digital upgrade for the price of $14.99 this June. It will also be released as a standalone game for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 for $39.99 and PC for $29.99 sometime in August.

With a quorum being present, the meeting was called to order.
Trustee Korman asked for a MOTION to approve the minutes from June 21, 2011. Motion carried and minutes approved.
Trustee Korman asked Provost Workman to review the structure of the Academic Affairs Committee for the benefit of the newly appointed members.
Provost Workman shared his perspective regarding the work of this committee. He noted that the university must be alert to the priorities of the state and the Board of Governors. At the same time, it is the responsibility of the administration, faculty and BOT to make sure we fulfill the aspirations and mission of the university.
The AAC should be informed about the processes within Academic Affairs and the effectiveness of how we assess student learning and research priorities. The Provost also stated that the Academic Affairs division operates strategically with respect to which initiatives we can fund, particularly in light of limited resources.
Provost Workman requested that the Board approve the termination of this program. In addition to the CAVP project on program duplication, the Masters in Rehab Counseling program only had two faculty and one has retired. The other faculty member was able to shift to Mental Health Counseling program. Further, enrollment was down to 1 student. At the same time, we closed the MACP because of lack of accreditation and moved faculty and students went over to BCH and MHC. Terminating this program will not disadvantage any student nor result in any faculty layoff. Joy had noted that program was suspended three years ago.
Trustee Pappas moved to approve this item. Item approved unanimously.
Trustee Korman welcomed our newest dean, Mark Tumeo. In turn, Dean Tumeo also introduced Dr. Don Resio, newly appointed director of the Taylor Engineering Research Institute. There was general discussion of the importance of CCEC to the advancement of STEM within the region and the transition to a knowledge economy. Dean Tumeo then made a presentation on the college and its past and present efforts at advancing STEM:
Dr. Resio provided an overview of the work of the Taylor Engineering Research Institute. He noted that the TERI began with a state grant and then provided an update of what has been accomplished in his first 90 days as director. TERI aspirations include the institute becoming a key player nationally. There is also great promise in terms of collaboration with other colleges, specifically COAS and the department of biology.
Dean Hetrick provided a presentation updating the AAC on current efforts within COAS to advance STEM education in the region and included statistics that showed UNF increases in student enrollment and graduation rates in STEM areas.
hair Korman adjourned the meeting.

It's a busy month over at Acquia, a provider of value-added products and services for Drupal. The company has announced a new Cloud API and a change in its leadership team.
New Cloud API
The new Acquia Cloud API allows developers to integrate capabilities provided by Acquia's managed Drupal service, Acquia Cloud, even if they're not hosted in Acquia's environment. Developers can use the API to increase architectural consistency across environments without being forced to implement foundational features such as workflow, site management and provisioning from scratch.
The new API provides a number of features:
- Ability to integrate Acquia cloud developer tools such as continuous integration or management tools into all websites and applications, including those hosted on non-Acquia environments
- Triggering custom scripts and commands on workflow actions using Cloud Hooks
- Automatic provisioning to Acquia cloud from any Drupal distribution or using scripting interfaces
The new Acquia Cloud API is available now in beta for all Acquia Cloud customers by request. Acquia is planning a general availability release in April. Acquia will also be demonstrating the Cloud API at Drupalcon in Denver, which being held at the Colorado Convention Center this week.
New Leadership
In addition to announcing the Cloud API, Acquia has named content management industry veteran Joseph Wykes as Vice President of Global Channels. If Wyke's name looks familiar, we reported about Percussion Software appointing his successor, Deidre Diamond, to President earlier this week. Wykes served as President at Percussion for ten years and led the company's expansion in the enterprise market before joining Acquia.
In 2011, Acquia expanded its customer base to over 2000 and partner network to over 40%. Wykes' addition to the leadership team will likely further Acquia's goal of making Drupal a more attractive option for the enterprise market. We will continue to watch Acquia to see if the new leadership team composition causes shifts in how the company markets itself globally.

Are you excited for the return of the eclipse and the god hand?
Does this mean we can all say we "survived" the Eclipse, like Guts?
It isn't over yet. It's all just started! Now the whole world will be different for ever!
Technically the Age of Darkness began on Jan 20, 2017.
Age of darkness?
I got a neat picture when a cloud passed overhttp://i.imgur.com/Dx8xDav.jpg
Long story short, I live very close to the path of totality, so I traveled an hour south into the mountains, climbed one, and watched the eclipse while listening to Hirasawa's "Murder", and it was absolutely sublime.
You used special glasses?
I did not. None were available, and haven't been for a couple weeks (My area was a pretty prime spot for tourists after all), and all the hardware stores were out of acceptable welding lenses. I was in the heart of the path of totality though. It was cloudy all right before the actual total eclipse. I would sneak very quick, indirect glances every so often while the sun was being covered, but once the moon moved into place it became very dark, and the corona was the only visible part of the sun. That's when I looked at it, first with sunglasses, then unprotected for a good 2-2.5 minutes or so.
Even though I can genuinely appreciate this is a once in a lifetime astronomical phenomenon
Berserk isn't really "dark fantasy" either. It's plain fantasy
Miura has been very protective of Berserk

CSA is committed to working within three biodiversity hotspots located at the southernmost tip of South Africa, namely the Cape Floral Kingdom, the Succulent Karoo and the Maputaland Pondoland Albany hotspots. Together these three hotspots contain more than 20 000 plant species, half of which are found nowhere else on Earth.
Many of these species also hold economic potential for the horticultural, cut flower, food and medicinal markets. These regions are home to charismatic species such as lion, leopards, elephants, black rhino, white rhino, giraffe, caracal and mountain zebra. As their habitats shrink, due to mining, agricultural expansion and unsustainable development, these species are being put at risk of extinction.
The conservation of South Africa's hotspots is vital not only for the inherent value of their species and natural areas, but because of the benefits they bring through sustainable resource use to our country's political, social and economic stability. For these reasons all of CSA's work is completely focused within these three critically important biodiversity hotspots.

U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
Company Drops Appeal of Lower Court's Judgment, Ends Six Years of Litigation
NASHVILLE – Whirlpool Corporation agreed to drop its appeal of a race and sex harassment judgment for over one million dollars and resolve the case with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Plaintiff-Intervenor, the federal agency announced today. The settlement comes almost six years to the day after the EEOC's Memphis District Office first filed suit on June 9, 2006.
The EEOC's lawsuit (Civil Action No. 3:06-0593 filed in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee) had charged that Whirlpool violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 when it did nothing to stop a white male co-worker at a Whirlpool plant in LaVergne, Tenn., from harassing an African-American female employee because of her race and sex. The abuse lasted for two months and escalated when the co-worker physically assaulted the black employee and inflicted serious permanent injuries.
During a four-day bench trial, the court heard evidence that the employee repeatedly reported offensive verbal conduct and gestures by the co-worker to Whirlpool management before she was violently assaulted, without any corrective action by the company. The trial also established that the employee suffered devastating permanent mental injuries that will prevent her from working again as a result of the assault.
At the conclusion of the bench trial, Judge John T. Nixon entered a final judgment and awarded the employee a total of $1,073,261 in back pay, front pay and compensatory damages on December 21, 2009. Whirlpool filed a motion to alter or amend the judgment on January 15, 2010 which the district court denied on March 31, 2011.
On April 26, 2011, Whirlpool appealed the judgment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. The company withdrew its appeal on June 11, 2012 and agreed settle the case with the EEOC and plaintiff-intervener for $1 million and court costs. The plant where the discrimination occurred had closed during the litigation period.
"Employers have a responsibility to address and remedy race and sex harassment in the workplace," said P. David Lopez, EEOC General Counsel. "The EEOC stands ready to vigorously prosecute violations of the law through trial if necessary. We are pleased that the parties were finally able to bring this litigation to a close."
Commission Attorneys Corbett L. Anderson and Lorraine C. Davis represented the EEOC during the appeal.
Attorneys Helen Rogers of Nashville and Andy Allman of Hendersonville, Tennessee intervened in the case and represented the plaintiff-intervener for the trial and appeal.
According to its web site, Whirlpool Corporation, with world headquarters in Benton Harbor, Mich., "is the world's leading manufacturer and marketer of major home appliances, with annual sales of approximately $19 billion in 2011, 68,000 employees, and 66 manufacturing and technology research centers around the world."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Serena Williams hasn't played a competitive tennis match since winning the Australian Open in January – two whole months. The Queen of Comebacks, Serena said this week that she will not commit to a date of return to the WTA as she nurses injuries. Above, she plays some dirt ball with kids during a trip to Africa last month.
When do you think Serena will return? In time for the French? Wimbledon? Ever?! Can she pull a Clijsters and win a Slam again with little prep? Or is Serena entering the stage of her career where she has to be a little more careful about thinking she can strut in and win? Tell us what you think in the comments section.

I have been picking zucchini from my garden for weeks and the fridge is really starting to fill up! I have grilled zucchini and stuffed zucchini and today I got busy making one of my favourite treats, zucchini bread. I made this double chocolate zucchini bread that is shown below and it was amazing! The whole family enjoyed it so much that it was gone within hours of making it.
Then I made one of my own zucchini bread recipes. I have been making variations of this zucchini bread for years. It is a tasty way to use your zucchini and it's a perfect way to sneak some extra veggies into your children.
- 3 cups shredded zucchini
- 1 2/3 cups brown sugar
- 2/3 cup sunflower oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 4 eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup walnuts optional
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl mix the zucchini, sugar, oil, vanilla and eggs.
In a medium bowl, mix the dry ingredients.
Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mix well.
Pour the ingredients into the greased loaf pan.
Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick or paring knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool before removing from loaf pan.
You can substitute the oil with applesauce and you can add raisins or nuts to add a little extra something to your zucchini bread.
I love using my garden vegetables to create delicious treats like this for my family. Since I don't want to eat nothing but zucchini bread for the next few weeks but I do want to use my fresh zucchini for more bread, I have frozen some shredded zucchini to use in future recipes.
