So I made it home to Vermont (take that Winter Storm Nemo)! I got in super late last night and couldn't really sleep, so I started digging through my old desk. If you have not looked into the goldmine that is the corners of your closet or things shoved under your bed, I highly suggest that you do it.
Why? Because when you do, you find great gems like "My Life Timeline" which I made for a seventh grade class project. This was a real treasure of a find considering I wasn't sure how I'd match up to my past self.
Well, I'm happy to admit that I actually did an okay job predicting the last decade or so! I did get a job while I was in high school, I went to college (though not the super specific one I listed on my timeline), and while I put that in my twenties I wanted to work for our local paper in Burlington, I actually did intern and write for them one summer while I was still in college.
Perhaps more surprising is that I've actually already done some of the things I had thought would happen way later in my life, like touring Europe or visiting my grandmother's hometown in Ireland. On my timeline, those activities were going to happen at ages 77 and 82, respectively (I anticipate being a very active grandmother). It's pretty cool how I followed through on those interests that started way back then.
One piece of my timeline particularly stood out to me. I was pretty obsessed with being a TV reporter in middle school, and all I wanted to do was host the Today Show. According to my life timeline, this was definitely going to happen when I was 32, under which I wrote, "To be on this, I need to work very hard."
Even if at age 12 I didn't really understand how the business world works, I still knew that goal was going to take work, but I wasn't as overly concerned about making all the "right decisions" to get there. I just accepted that I could do these things, and I admire my little self's total openness about my goals and dreams. I didn't shy away from putting my dream job on there because it seemed like it could be too hard to achieve.
As I got older, I got more concerned with making the "right choices" and developed a little bit more of an eye-roll attitude. I guess I didn't realize that I've been a little less open with people about all the stuff I want to accomplish because I'd get nervous thinking about if they didn't all come true.
However, after taking a read from my middle school self, I realize that there's nothing wrong with putting your dreams and goals out there without feeling like you have to micromanage every little step along the way from the get-go. It's exciting to think about those goals in the distance and find your own path to get there.
I don't really want to be a TV reporter anymore, but that doesn't mean I don't still value working hard. Also, looking back on some of the other dreams that were important to me, it turns out that they are still my goals. For example, I'd still like to run a marathon (that's slated for the year 2026) and write a children's book (at a bookstore near you in 2033), and seeing it written down in all its colored pencil glory is kind of getting me psyched up again.
No matter what age you are, this could maybe be a fun project to just do (on a day when you're snowed in, perhaps?) and just kind of forget it exists for awhile. It's fun to look back later and see how you've changed (not only did I not buy a car at age 21, it turns out that I really hate driving and want to put off buying one as long as possible). Even more importantly for me though, it was a chance to rediscover things about myself that got a little lost along the way.
Have you ever found an old school project or letter from yourself? What was it like rediscovering it? Do you feel like you're much different than you were in your earlier grades? Tell us in the comments!

Got all into something called "The God Particle" this week. I believe in God. In spite of my shifts in concepts, I have always believed in an unmoved mover. I watched the most beautifully produced documentary just the other day about the proofs behind this and in the end found out that it had been made by Muslims. In the conclusion of the work the narrator says, "Allah," but by this time I'd forwarded it to a lot of my believing friends. Being a reasoning person I had to accept that truth is truth. The video scientifically analyzed the mathematical preciseness of the organization of the universe, and demonstrated that how if one tiny thing were not exactly in place the whole thing would disintegrate into utter chaos. It addressed evolution by demonstrating that there was a certain level of geological history where life virtually exploded and contrary to Darwin's idea that life evolved from a single root that grew upward in ever increasing diversity, the "tree" was actually upside down and life had in effect came into existence quiet suddenly and began to "fine tune" as some species failed the test and disappeared from the scene. It showed an equation called 1.618 that governed everything from the shape of galaxies to the number of petals on a sunflower, to the proportions of a pretty girl's face. And it was put together by Muslims!
Then I spent several days watching a series called, "How The Earth Was Made," and got the same information. The very planet we call home is so complex, with intertwining systems so closely connected that it is almost beyond comprehension. One segment explained how Antarctica, with all of its inhospitable conditions, virtually controls our entire weather system by producing brine that creeps along the ocean floor thereby articulating the currents that flow around the globe. One last video studied what would happen if the earth's rotation slowed only one mile per hour and the result would be devastating! The very moon operates as a balance, keeping the earth rotation in a synced fashion, enabling the weather system to remain constant, within certain parameters which, if it were not so, one year New York would be New York, and the next it may be situated near one of the poles.
Great minds, such as Stephen Hawking say that when things get too complicated the theist will just fall back on a "god" in a vain effort to avoid the question, while they, themselves, when their own model fails will suggest a multiple-universe theory in effect claiming that if the model doesn't work just apply layer upon layer until it does or any opposition simply gives up in exasperation.
My concept of God is that of a great creative force that we, as mortals, will never understand, we aren't capable. Jesus was strapped with trying to educate simple fishermen, a tax collector, and a few women as to the way the universe works. Did He try to explain the time-space continuum to them? Certainly not! At the last supper, did he try to hold a lecture on molecular reorganization, or the presence of dark matter, no. He held up a piece of bread and told them, "This is my body. Whenever you have this ritual you need to remember that!" Jesus was explaining to them in terms they could get their minds around. They understood the Passover, and all it meant to them, as Jews, and He was the ultimate Passover for all people.
We, as Christians, no, let me rephrase that, as believers, have to accept that there are some who will never accept our concept, or explanations for the order of the universe no matter how persuasive our argument. For all their scientific method they will abandon it, and proceed on the premise that there simply cannot BE a god and any system that makes that claim is simply rejected outright. You will never change these people. I didn't change my ideas while watching all of the documentaries I cited above. They merely reinforced what I already suspected. And, if you will note, when you forget about all the arguments about Jesus and Mohammed, the Muslim work was outstanding in its direct analyzation of the science of mathematics and the correlation to the universe.
As believers, our explanations look absurd to atheists. Atheists have a hands on, linear methodology in their universal view, but does that make them evil? Certainly not! A girl in high school on the East Coast wanted to start a club geared to atheists like herself so she, and other likeminded kids could gather and discuss ideas, and feel a oneness. At first the school absolutely forbade it, but after the ACLU got involved she was allowed to form her group, but was then bullied into giving it up by the "Christian" community around her. Tell me how those "Christians" were any different than a radical Muslim who believes he must destroy all "infidels" to spread his "faith?" She was accused of being a Satanist. This is so far in left field if defies explanation but I'll try. A Satanist is a believer. Jesus said, "Even the demons believe in God, and they tremble." People who subscribe to this mind set believe there is a god but choose the opposite path. To me they're like the kid, when we all went to the movies on Saturday, who would cheer for the guy in the black hat. For whatever psychological reason they have rejected what is regarded as proper by most other believers for the side that is completely opposite to that. The atheist simple rejects any spiritual explanation of the universe, preferring a physical model instead.
As long as you live you will be formulating your world view. Mine has evolved so much that it barely resembles what was in my head at sixteen years old. The one constant remains: There has to be a designer for such a finely turned situation. Can I explain this to a non-believer? Nope. Can I, myself even ever completely understand this designer? Absolutely not! Should I judge, or cast stones at someone who doesn't subscribe to my very own ever changing view? Well, Jesus, Himself, said, "Judge not lest you be judged." Now, He didn't say that to be clever. He said that because He knew we could never get our finite minds around the infinite. I am comfortable with accepting Biblical principles. The young atheist simply is not.
I am always amazed at the knee-jerk reaction to any inclusion of Biblical principles in government. Put a statue of the ten commandments on the courthouse lawn and certain groups lose their collective minds. The ten commandments are an early example of codified law given to a bunch of people trying to carve out a civilized existence out of a horrible situation. I hear all the time about the separation of church and state, but that's not what the first amendment is all about It says, "Congress shall make no law respecting the ESTABLISHMENT of religion …" It forbids Congress from jumping up and making the Baptist Church the official religion of the United States. It does NOT nullify bringing your morals, common sense or life experiences to the table when you vote, or make decisions. How else can you make these decisions? You see, that's what's wrong with this whole idea that we have to blindly accept that we really have no opinion or options when it comes to government. When Congress sits in session can they impose religious guidelines and restrictions on the rest of us? Constitution says they cannot. Can they let their experience, morality, and personal beliefs guide how they will vote? You bet they can, and DO! Should they have anything to do with the little atheist girl wanting to form a club with her likeminded friends? Well, that's where my Libertarian beliefs kick in. They have a right to their beliefs, and she has a right to hers!
You will never convert this little girl. Conversion comes from within. You will never scare a gay person straight. For whatever psychological reasons that mold our sexuality it is OUR mold. Our INDIVIDUAL mold. Lead by example. Live your lives by your principles and if those principles are sound, kind,and not bigoted there are those who will approve. Cast your bread upon the water, and maybe, just maybe, you'll get back a sandwich! And that, my friends, is the true God Particle.

Sanyo Eneloops Go Lite
Recall that battery face-off we did a while back where the Sanyo's Eneloops came out on top? Well, if you didn't, you should know that they're positively one of the awesom-est batteries out there - and now, with a Lite edition for all your low-power consuming electronic devices.
The new Sanyo Eneloops use the same nickel-metal hydride found in the rest of the Eneloops, but only allow electronics to sip on energy, instead of guzzling down electrons like a power hog. So in other words, it's perfect for alarm clocks, remote controls, and un-demanding Bluetooth what-nots that you use once a day or less.
As usual, the batteries will be sold in packs of two AA's for $9.00 and AAA's for $7.00. According to Sanyo, the batteries will yield up to 2,000 recharges and are ready to use out of the box, even after three years in storage. Not bad.
The rollout of these batteries in Japan start around June 22, but we're sure a global release would not be too far from the future.

UNIX commands dig and nmap work perfectly on one Windows XP Pro installation but don't work on a new Windows XP Pro installation on the same computer (IBM Thinkpad R51 Intel 32bit
I copied the C:\Program Files\dig and C:\Program Files\nmap from the working installation and put them on the new installation and edited the My Computer >> Properties >> Advanced >> Env. Variables >> User Variables >> path to include
"C:\Program Files\Nmap;C:\Program Files\dig"
when I enter dig or nmap on "CMD", they don't work.
I made them work on another Windows XP Pro installation on another computer (IBM Thinkpad X41) so this method is basically working.
What could be reason it doesn't work on this computer and how to fix it?
I'd guess that you are missing a dll. But why on earth mess about like this? Just download the installation files for the programs and install them properly.
"What could be reason it doesn't work on this computer and how to fix it?"
Reason: you copied and didn't install, hence no registry entries
Soluiton: properly install the applications. These are not DOS days of copy and run.
Answers are only as good as the information you provide.
How to properly post a question:
Sorry no tech support via PM's
the folder which shows the contents of dig:
all dll's are there.
Well, waste your time if you want to. It would take a couple of minutes to download the programs and install them; less time than we've spent discussing it here. But - hey - do it your way.

These commissions will probably remain there permanently until tbe war is ended, directing American interests and arranging full coordination of efforts with the allies to tamove Prussian militarism, and as President Wilson stated, "make the world safe for democracy."

Dream With Me: 5 Beautiful New York Apartments I Will Never Be Able to Afford
It is a truth universally acknowledged that anyone living in an apartment in New York must be on the hunt for a better apartment. Since moving to the city, my mild interest in real estate has grown into a bona fide hobby...if you can call shopping for things you can't afford a hobby.
Knitting is a hobby, which could result in sweaters and blankets and baby socks. But if your hobby is looking at apartments you will never be able to afford, but might someday be able to afford if you sell that screenplay or write that novel, which will never actually happen because you are spending all your writing time looking at real estate...well, there is nothing to show for that. Except maybe a post like this one. Here are five beautiful New York apartments I will never be able to afford, but will continue to dream about, anyway, because dreaming is free.
170 East 78th Street, Apartment 4A, $1,295,000
I'm in love with the living room of this (relatively) modestly priced place on the Upper East Side because it looks like something I've seen in a movie—a beautiful, high-ceilinged space with sophisticated people drifting about drinking cocktails. And there's a wood-burning fireplace, which is also a plus.
49 West 9th Street, PH5A, $2,750,000
It's like your very own ski chalet in the West Village! Only one bedroom, but there are two very large roof decks, which include an outdoor shower and an outdoor tub.
6 Varick Street, Apartment 2C, $2,500,000
Soaring ceilings! Exposed beams! So beautiful and lofty and so very New York that you could almost ignore the fact that it's a 2.5-million-dollar studio. Almost.
201 East 36th Street, 19D, $1,500,000
The rest of the apartment is, at the risk of sounding cynical, a bit average, but that glassed-in living room with breathtaking views of Manhattan is really all you need. Imagine it at night, with the city all lit up. Also, there's a roof terrace, and six (six!) closets, which just makes me want to weep with envy.
45 West 10th Street, LJ, $1,035,000
This place can be yours for the humble price of $1,035,000, which makes it practically a bargain compared to the ones above, but I think it might be my favorite. It appears to be a studio, which is not the kind of life that everyone wants to live, but perhaps you'll understand my love when you see the garden—a beautiful, hidden refuge within in the city.

It was announced this week that EBSCO host will no longer be available through POWER Library. Because of drastic cuts in the budget by PA Department of Education, this comprehensive database consisting of articles and multimedia sources will no longer be available as of February 1, 2010. At this point, it remains to be seen what databases will replace the offerings of EBSCO, but certainly it will not be nearly the extent of what POWER Library has offered in the past.
Thankfully, our students and staff have access to a number of databases to which our library subscribes. Please visit our Database website for links to each one, as well as a Google Custom Search for several online newspaper and periodical sites.

Discovering eBooks for my iPod Touch
This weekend I discovered that there are many FREE ebooks available for my iTouch through iPhone apps. Previously, I had not really been very interested in exploring ebooks for my small iTouch screen since I imagined that the print would be too difficult for me to read, much like the text when browsing through websites. However, not only was I surprised by how clear the print is, but I was pleased to see that the Kindle app offers quite a few titles for free. As might be expected, many free titles are classics such as Pride and Prejudice and Dracula, but I was pleased to find quite a few new releases such as Suite Scarlett by Maureen Johnson (which was my first pick!). I also learned from a Tweet from @DoremiGirl that Stanza and Classics are two other great apps for ebooks and also offer many free titles.
The text preferences within these ebook apps can be adjusted to make your reading more clear and legible. Not only can you choose different font sizes, but you can choose between a day-time or night-time screen (as pictured) and there are various features for bookmarking, adding notes, or searching within a book.
While I'm not anywhere ready to purchase an ebook reader for myself for a couple of hundred dollars, I certainly am pleased to find I now have a couple of ebook options for my iTouch, and that many of the titles are free, or at a very low cost!

Book Review: Liar
Though Micah is a self-proclaimed liar, she begins the book with a promise: "I will tell you my story and I will tell it straight. No lies, no omissions. That's my promise. This time I truly mean it." Or does she? Throughout the novel, readers are taken on such a roller-coaster of self-admitted lies that nothing can be believed or taken for granted. Was she born a girl, a boy...or something completely different? What kind of relationship did she really have with Zach, a fellow high school student who was murdered? What does she know about the murder...was she involved? The ambiguous ending will leave readers intrigued with an urge to discuss the novel with others.

Book Review: Sorta Like a Rock Star
I just finished reading Sorta Like a Rock Star by Matthew Quick which is due to be released in May 2010. It's one of those very special reads which I didn't want to put down, and which I will be recommending to many. It most certainly will be one of my top ten for the PSLA Top Forty Book Review Committee!
Amber Appleton is one of The Five - a group of misfit, "freak" students who have been friends since they were put together for counseling in the fifth grade. After school, you can find Amber drinking green tea with a Vietnam vet who is fond of writing haiku's, tutoring Korean women in English by leading them in Motown songs, or visiting a retirement home where she and Joan of Old entertain residents with their optimism vs pessimism battles. At night, Amber sleeps (often alone) on the Hello Yellow bus which her mom drives for a living. Her mom is often "out fishing" at bars, looking for her next Prince Charming. Readers will smile with delight at the positive, vivacious attitude of Amber as she spreads hope among her various, eccentric friends. However, when she struggles to come to terms with a tragic, life-changing event, we find that Amber is not as capable of receiving help as she is at giving it. This is a truly delightful book which will have readers both laughing and crying throughout. Highly recommended!
We were privileged to have Matthew Quick visit our school last Spring to discuss his first novel, The Silver Linings Playbook. The students not only loved this book but were fascinating by his personal story of becoming a writer. Let's hope he has many more novels to come!

THE father of a man who died while skiing on Christmas Day spoke of his heartbreak as an inquest failed to provide the answers he desperately sought.
Peter Jackson, 70, of Matlock, had hoped the inquest would help to explain how his son fell to his death on Christmas Day 2009.
Instead, Coroner Caroline Sumeray recorded a narrative verdict at the hearing held in North London on Wednesday, September 28.
The cause of death was given as possible suffocation with or without hypothermia. Although the court heard reports as to apparent failures in safety standards at the resort, no further explanation was given into how Nigel Jackson tragically died.
The 43-year-old, who worked in London as the director of policy research, had been skiing in the French Alps when he disappeared.
His body was found the next day, buried under five metres of snow in a ravine on Mont Blanc.
Now the family's lawyers are urging the authorities and those responsible for the maintenance of the slopes and the safety of skiers to do everything in their power to make sure nothing like this ever happens again.
Philip Banks from Irwin Mitchell said Nigel was an experienced skier who was very safety conscious.
He added: "Nothing will ever bring Nigel back, but the family have now instructed us to try to further piece together the tragic circumstances surrounding Nigel's death and look to ensure no one else should have to suffer as they have going forward."
Peter Jackson, of Sydnope Hill, said he was determined to warn other skiers of the potential dangers on the slopes.
He added: "Nigel was very close to us and it is heartbreaking that we are unlikely to find out what he went through in his last hours.
"It is devastating to have lost my son under these circumstances, but we hoped the inquest would at least help us to understand what went wrong."
He added: "I won't let what happened to Nigel go and I will fight to warn others of possible dangers.
"Even if it saves one more life it will have been worth it".

As many as 93 international academicians, including Noam Chomsky, Orhan Pahmuk and Judith Butler, signed a statement on Wednesday condemning the Indian government for using sedition laws to charge Jawaharlal Nehru University Student Union (JNUSU) president Kanhaiya Kumar for an event held on Feb. 9, where anti-India slogans were allegedly raised.
Kumar has been presented in court Wednesday for hearing on the sedition charge. He was remanded into police custody for three days by the court.
Apart from the arrest of Kumar last week, the Delhi Police also carried out raids on Wednesday for JNU students who were believed to be present at the event.
The academicians accused the Narendra Modi government of creating a "culture of authoritarian menace" and called on Indians to mobilise against it.
"Since there is no evidence to establish these charges, we can only conclude that this arrest is further evidence of the present government's deeply authoritarian nature, intolerant of any dissent, setting aside India's longstanding commitment to toleration and plurality of opinion, replicating the dark times of an oppressive colonial period and briefly of the Emergency in the mid-1970s," the statement read.
Calling the act as "shameful," the group of academicians also pulled up the government for using laws formulated by "colonial rulers."
The statement was released after international media covered the controversial issue. Among those who backed the statement were Indian academicians including MV Ramana, a phycisist in Princeton University; Sanat Kumar, professor of chemical engineering at Columbia University; and Partha Chatterjee, professor of Anthropology, Columbia University.
The New York Times said in a report that protests condemning violence by "Hindu nationalists" were staged by various groups like students, academicians and media in New Delhi on Tuesday. The newspaper also termed the Centre's actions as "nationalist violence," while the BBC called the protests as a "student revolt." The Washington Post, on the other hand, reported the incident as "campus activism" that "got out of hand." The Australian also echoed the Washington Post calling the debate as "campus protest."
"We take a stand of heartfelt solidarity with the students and faculty of Jawaharlal Nehru University in their efforts to resist these developments on its campus and, in the name of the liberties that India and Indian universities until recently could take for granted, we not only condemn the culture of authoritarian menace that the present government in India has generated, but urge all those genuinely concerned about the future of India and Indian universities to protest in wide mobilisation against it," the statement said.

Dear women architects of Queensland,
I feel very proud and privileged to be an architect.
We architects do important work: we translate and shape culture by making the places and spaces that are the infrastructure of our lives. Here in Queensland I believe we have something special in our particular relationships with our bounteous and various Queensland places.
I myself am very curious (aren't you?) about all the great work that is happening throughout Queensland. Over more than three decades I have witnessed the developing sophistication of the response to our place and the discourse around it, and the burgeoning of women architects' involvement in and influence on this. I believe there is power in the work, and power in the collective.
I think it's time for us to get together to share the conversation about our work; not just about BEING a woman architect in Queensland, but about what we are DOING.
So, please join me in gathering around our collective work.
What we are creating is a collection of examples of women's architecture from all over Queensland and from all women architects and students at any stage of life or career. This is a great opportunity for us to get together in a celebratory and unstructured way to share and discuss the work.
To be involved and share your work please simply send your images and text describing your project to firstname.lastname@example.com. Use the linked examples above for guidance.
Please feel free to contact me on email@example.com.

Office of National Marine Sanctuaries
Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary
MERITO in the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary
Explore: National Marine Sanctuary System
What is a national marine sanctuary? — audio podcast
As the coordinator of MERITO, a marine science and conservation education program tailored to raise awareness of ocean issues and motivate youth in traditionally underserved communities to pursue careers in marine science or resource protection, I work in the field at our local watersheds, along the California coast, at the Channel Islands, and, occasionally, at other national marine sanctuaries.
It's very rewarding to work with the education team at the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries and NOS to deliver the most up-to-date information on ocean science and resource protection to our culturally diverse communities. I believe the products and services we deliver affect people's behavior and outlook toward our coastal and ocean environments.
It is a privilege to work at NOAA — the agency that published much of the information I studied during my college years in México. NOAA people are very engaged in their work. They are constantly learning, creating, and adjusting to new challenges and opportunities.
The hardest part of my job is coping with the financial instability of the MERITO program. MERITO has had positive impacts in southern and central California because it was designed based on community needs. However, it is very difficult to constantly seek and secure external and internal funding to provide the ocean education and outreach services that the communities need.
I have a bachelor of science in physical oceanography from Universidad Autónoma de Baja California, México, and a master of science in marine resource protection from Herriot Watt University of Scotland. I am fully bilingual (Spanish-English) and also speak some Japanese.
Born a thousand miles away from any ocean, I was inspired to study for an ocean career during a family trip to Cancun, México, when I was 11 years old. After 13 years of working in assorted ocean-related jobs and witnessing first-hand the rapid decline of marine resources in various parts of the world, I decided to focus my career on marine conservation education. At about the same time, I moved permanently to the United States to be with my husband.
An opportunity arose in 2004 when the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary posted a job announcement for a community liaison to the MERITO program. I got the job, and have since worked to develop, and later implement, the MERITO program in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties.
If the ocean is your passion, you will succeed. You can be a researcher, explorer, entrepreneur, policymaker, educator, filmmaker, engineer, manager – the options in ocean careers are as vast as the ocean itself. Even if you are not a "scientist-type," do not be afraid to take "hard-core" science classes! You will be surprised how handy they will be later on, when you apply them to understanding both small- and large-scale ocean processes.

Sincerely yours,
Louis J. Cesare
Chairman & CEO
United One traces its roots back to 1918 as a non-profit, merchant-owned credit reporting company in
Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Focusing on personal customer service to local credit grantors and financial
institutions, the company slowly grew for the next sixty years. Known as the Credit Bureau of the
Wyoming Valley and then United Credit Bureau Services, in 1974 the company became affiliated with
Experian Information Services (then TRW) as consumer credit reporting became automated with the use of
computer technology.
Gradually, the company began to add to its menu of solutions as the needs of its customers grew. By
adding mortgage credit reports, courthouse record services and flood zone determinations to its product
offerings in the late 1980s, the company began to focus more on real estate transactions.
Under the leadership of current Chairman and CEO, Louis J. Cesare, the company began an unprecedented
period of growth by providing flawless risk management information services and personal customer
service to our customers. With the addition of title insurance and settlement services in 1994, the
company began providing commercial and residential title insurance for both purchase and refinance
transactions to lenders across the state.
In 1997, Chairman and CEO Louis J. Cesare formed a group of investors and purchased United Credit Bureau
Services, forming United One. Since the purchase, United One continued its long
history of unprecedented growth through flawless risk management information services and personal
customer service.
As we look beyond 2014, we see great opportunity to help our customers in unprecedented ways. Our vision
of becoming the definitive source for every lending decision will push us deeper into our customers
operations. We will help customers overcome property valuation and rate risks, manage regulatory
changes, and respond quickly to emerging growth opportunities with confidence.
Headquartered in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, United One currently does business throughout the country
and has title insurance licenses in Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and
Our experienced sales and operations staff, sound business processes and high level of personal customer
service will help you grow your business by closing your real estate and mortgage transactions quickly
and efficiently.
The success of our company is tightly connected to the success of our customers and our employees. We
excel at personal customer service, process innovation, and technology leadership to improve and
accelerate our customers' lending decisions.
The definitive source for every lending decision.
Take ownership of actions to move beyond emotions and to prepare self and team to take on the next
Focus on what we do well as to engage customers and employees from a position of shared outcomes and
shared success. Confidence increases our ability to lead.
Set and achieve ambitious and clearly measurable goals to create a culture of energy and momentum
towards doing what we say we will do. If we fall short of these goals, we are willing to change the
way we do things in order to achieve excellence for our customers and our employees.
Seek opportunities to introduce new ideas, new practices and new services. Innovation extends beyond
technology to a mindset of continuous improvement and leadership.
Act honestly and honorably when dealing with customers and each other. At United One, our actions
consistently match our words.
Our demanding environment will test our character under pressure. We demonstrate calmness and
self-control in the face of adversity.
Set our minds to look for the best in each situation. A positive attitude and contribution shape
conversations, actions, and culture around an exciting and profitable future.
Be prompt and courteous when identifying, assessing and solving needs of our customers and our
employees. Excelling at personal customer service will require efficiency of decision making and
We will be candid and forthright with our customers and each other. We must openly, tactfully and
authentically share information, provide guidance, and deliver feedback – even when the message is
not positive news.
Our value proposition is clear and compelling. We deliver the most accurate information faster than
anyone in the market. We continually invest in key assets and processes that result in unmatched value
for our customers.
We have the confidence to stand by our customers' side when making lending decisions. Our
customers trust our lending solutions to protect their assets from future loss. They view our
lending solutions as more reliable, comprehensive and definitive than any others in the market – so
much so that customers often come back to us after trying another provider.
Our customers are overwhelmed by an increase in lending volume, which impacts what they do, and an
increase in regulations, which impacts how they do it. We accelerate the time to decision cycle to
help customers get the answers they need when they need it to make the most accurate and timely
lending decision.
Customer service is personal to the people at United One – unlike the large impersonal production
houses where customer service equates to nameless, faceless, scripted call centers responses. Our
team members care deeply about our customers and genuinely feel that the success of our customers'
business equates to success of United One's business.
Our customers state that they love how easy it is to do business with United One. This feeling is
not grounded in a weak position of accommodation, but in a strong position of investing in
technology, developing people and processes that are responsive to customer needs, and aligning our
team to meet the growth needs of the customer.

The Tony Award-winning, fresh from Broadway, smash hit of a musical NEWSIES debuted Tuesday, May 26 to an
enthusiastic and packed house at Nashville's Tennessee Performing Arts Center. This super fun new American musical will run in Andrew Jackson Hall through Sunday, May 31, 2015.
NEWSIES is directed by Tony Award nominee, Jeff Calhoun, and produced by Disney Theatrical Productions. The musical features a Tony Award-winning score by the eight-time Academy Award winning composer Alan Menken, with lyrics by Jack Feldman. Book is by four-time Tony Award winner, Harvey Fierstein and choreography is by Tony Award winner Christopher Gattelli . . . all that to say, the show is extremely well constructed with all elements joining to create a fantastic and family friendly musical experience.
Inspired by the true story of the "Newsboy Strike of 1899," the musical is set in New York City and tells the story of Jack Kelly and his ragtag team of teenaged "newies." After publishing tycoons Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst raise distribution prices for the the newsboys, Jack rallies the newsies to strike.
Dan DeLuca is fantastic as the charismatic, rough around the edges, Kelly, rising to the occasion of his great moments, such as with the heartfelt song, "Santa Fe."
DeLuca has dreamy chemistry with actress Stephanie Styles, who plays determined and sassy news reporter, Katherine. Styles, a wonderful performer, also has many great moments in which she shines, such as in the song, "Watch What Happens."
Actor Zachary Sayle, who plays newsie Crutchie, was kind enough to answer a few questions about his life as a performer and member of the NEWSIES cast.
1. When and how did your performing career and passion for theater begin?
I initially began performing with a local boys choir (Birmingham Boys Choir) in the town I grew up in near Birmingham, AL when I was about 8. I enjoyed it a lot, but I wouldn't say it started out as a passion. I had always loved to sing, and the performing arts had always been around when I was growing up (my mother owns a dance studio and my father has a degree in vocal performance). I liked singing in the choir, but it wasn't until I first started doing community theatre when I was about 10 years old that I really found my passion. One of the teachers who worked for my mom was choreographing a local production of A Christmas Carol, and they needed someone to play Tiny Tim. I auditioned and ending up getting it, and from the moment rehearsals started I was hooked. I fell in love with the process of putting a show together as well as the actual performance aspect. After that, I continued to do lots of local community theatre, but it wasn't long before I wanted to aim higher. I managed to find a listing for an open call for the Asian Tour of The Sound of Music going on in NYC. I convinced my parents to take me to the audition, them deciding it would be a good lesson in rejection. That didn't totally work out for them, as I ended up booking it and traveling Asia with a touring musical at the age of 11. After that, there was no way I was going back to community theatre in Alabama. I kept pursuing professional musical theatre, and eventually started living by myself in NYC at the age of 16. I'm 18 now, and having the time of my life with Newsies!
2. Why do you believe NEWSIES continues to grow in popularity since it's opening in March of 2012?
I think there's something for everyone in NEWSIES. There's fantastic dancing, amazing songs and music, and a story that is very interesting and unique . . . The fact that these kids faced so many odds to fight for their rights and won is really empowering. And now that the show is touring, it's being introduced to so many new people who didn't get to see it on Broadway, helping the fan base to grow.
3. What is your favorite part of playing the role of Crutchie?
I love Crutchie's outlook on life. He stays so positive throughout so many negative things. Despite the fact that he is handicapped, is homeless, and is an orphan, he still manages to look at the world optimistically. I think that's why he's the favorite newsie of many of the fans. He's a wonderful role model to look up to, and shows that just because your circumstances are bad doesn't mean that you have a be a sad person. He finds the good in everything and everyone.
4. As a performer, what do you hope the audience will take away from this production?
I think the most amazing thing about this musical is the way it inspires people. I've had countless people at stage doors across the country tell me that the show has changed their lives. Whether it inspired a boy to start taking dance classes because of the amazing choreography, or made a kid decide to stand up to their bully because they're tired of being pushed around just like the Newsies were, the show has a profound effect on so many people. I really think that the most amazing thing that a story can do is cause someone to see the world differently, and Newsies has done that for many people.

How can a nose clearly be a woman's?!?! Seriously....I don't think it's all that possible to clearly tell a person's gender from their nose.....That seems rather silly to be perfectly honest....I've heard the theory that the nose was blown off because it was 'clearly' that of a black man.....and while I'm not sure I buy that theory, it would at least make more sense that the nose being blown off to hide it's gender. Now had the Sphinx's 'Adam's Apple' been blown off instead...then I'd think that idea might have a point!

Dr. Daniel Jackson? Is that you?
It has been widely accepted that in many societies, woman ruled over the clan. Without their birth giving abilities, the clan would die off.
But in conflict is where man ruled, not woman. There are tales of women warriors, but if they were so apt at combat, then we would still see to this day, women generals aplenty. But then again, maybe the circle is complete as we are now seeing just that more often. But not in the Arab world.

If you are installing a new lock on an exterior door, you are probably going to opt for a deadbolt for security reasons. However, if you simply want to replace an entrance or passage lock, it is basically the same process of installing a deadbolt. The difference being instead of putting in the key cylinders, you will put in the doorknobs.
If you are putting a new door in, your best bet is to get a door that is predrilled for the knob and latch. In that case, the job could not be simpler. You simply put the lock together and screw it in place.
Selecting a DeadBolt
The most important decision you will have to make when choosing a deadbolt is how you want to open the door. Single cylinder locks can be opened from the inside with a thumb latch. Double cylinder locks require a key from either side.
In most applications, a single cylinder lock is fine. On one side, a key will unlock it while the other side can be locked or unlocked with a thumb latch.
However, if you have a door with a small window in it, or it has a window next to it, a double cylinder will provide more security because if someone breaks the window, they will still need a key to unlock the lock from the inside, rather than simply turning the lock with their hand.
The downside to double cylinder locks is that if you do not store the key nearby, you would not be able to get out in the event of an emergency such as a fire. Over time, most people solve that by leaving the key inside the lock, however that defeats the whole purpose of installing a double cylinder lock in the first place.
All door locks have what is called a setback which is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the knob or cylinder. There are two standards commonly used: 2 3/4 and 2 3/8 inches.
If you are drilling the holes yourself to install a new deadbolt in an existing door, a lock using either setback will be fine. If a the door already has the holes predrilled, measure the setback and buy a lock that matches that distance. However, even that is not a big deal because locks come with the ability to adjust to either setback.

Installing a Door Lock
For this discussion, I will assume that you are installing a new deadbolt in a new location in a door, not simply replacing an existing one. Replacing an existing deadbolt is a simple project, but installing a new one in a separate location is more difficult because it requires precise drilling.
- Measure the deadbolt location from the edge of the door. Most locks you purchase will have a cardboard template to use for drilling. However, you can purchase a separate hard plastic mold that is better to guide the drill for a straighter cut. If you do not have a steady hand with a drill, consider purchasing one of those lock guides from any home improvement store for around $15. For the purpose of this discussion, I will assume the harder installation once again using the cardboard template.
- Tape the cardboard template to the door in the location where you want to installCredit: mjpyro the deadbolt. Use a sharp instrument such as a nail to mark the center of the cylinder on the face of the template and the side latch bolt hole on the edge of the door. Simply poke the nail through the template directly in the center of each side. This will be the point to set your drill.
- Bore hole on each side of the door with a power drill. To avoid splintering, drill through one side until the drill bit is almost through to the other side of the wood. The go to the other side of the door and finish the hole from the other side.
- Bore the latch bolt hole using a spade bit (usually ½ inch) from the edge of the door into the cylinder hole you just drilled on the other side on the door. Be sure to keep the drill absolutely perpendicular to the edge while drilling or you will have issues later when you install the lock cylinder. Again, this is where it might be wise to buy one of those separate lock mold drilling guides.
- Chisel out the edge of the door to mount the plate by screwing the plate with locking mechanism in place, then holding it tight to the door's edge, trace around the brass plate with a utility knife. Now remove the screws and the plate from the door.
- Cut the outline of the recess by holding the bevel side of a chisel facing the inside of the recess. Using a hammer, tap the end lightly to start the cut. Only goes as deep as the thickness of the plate. If necessary as you progress, drop the plate into the groove you are creating to make sure you are not going too deep. Make a series of parallel cuts across the recess at a 45 degree angle to remove more of the wood from the door. Each time you will need to hammer the end of the chisel a bit to drive it into the wood.
- Remove the waste wood from the recess you are creating for the lock plate by holding the chisel at a low angle with the bevel side toward the door side. Push the chisel by hand to dig out the remaining waste.
- Insert the lock tailpiece through the latch bolt mechanism and test fit the cylinders. If the tailpiece is too long, adjust it at the indentations by bending it with a set of pliers while holding with another set of pliers.
- Put the strike in place and trace around the hole. Mark the center and drill the latch bolt hole with a spade bit. Again, you will have to dig this out a bit with a chisel to get the fit correct so that it allows the deadbolt to be inserted smoothly into the hole in the door frame. Close the door and lock the deadbolt to insure it goes into the hole correctly before screwing the strike plate in place.

(price as of Jan 14, 2015)
It is critical that you drill the holes absolutely straight in order to fit the locking mechanism correctly. Any devious from holding the drill absolutely perpendicular to the door on both cuts will results in issues later when you go to put the lock and mechanism together inside the holes. Believe me, I have experienced this and the lock will stick or simply not open or close if it is not perfectly straight. For that reason, I do recommend you buy one of the separate lock kits to guide the drill in place.
Once the holes are drilled correctly, the hardest part of the project will be chiseling out the side so that the plate fits flush with the door. However, this is not a difficult project and it can be done in under an hour for someone that is experienced, a little more for the novice.

Prakash Sampath Shivnath from Satara was a depressed man. His marathon ended before it even began.
He had entered for the half marathon (21 kms) but reached the venue 15 minutes after the race began.
A resident of Ghatkopar, Shivnath, who works at Reliance Info's call centre and is a seasoned marathon runner, blamed the non-availability of transport in the early hours for missing out on the run.
"I just could not find any mode of transport to reach the ground," he lamented, sitting at the Azad Maidan.
"I finished seventh in the Pune International Marathon (40 kms) last year; I have also taken part in the Satara Marathon (21 kms) and the Kolhapur Cross Country. I was very confident of doing well here," he said, ruing his missed chance.
Shivnath said stamina is his forte. "I can hold my breath for 2 minutes 32 seconds."
But the disappointment did not deter him from participating in the Dream Run.
75...and still going on
P.P. Mithsagar is 75 years old, but one cannot make out his age once you start talking to him.
He arrived fully prepared to take part in the Dream Run (7 kms), with two kit bags full of clothes and accessories.
Asked how prepared for the Marathon, he replied, "I am practicing since childhood. Everyday I run for around 10-12 kms."
He said he has taken part in the Pune Marathon (veterans) since the last few years and also featured in the Thane Marathon veterans' run.
His exuberance had the younger crowd at the marathon in raptures as he danced to the loud music at the venue.
Asked about his chances, he said, "I am confident of finishing top among the veterans. I might even give the younger runners a run for their money."
He ultimately revealed the secret of his ever-lasting stamina: "Practice. After all, that is what makes a man perfect."
It was just a bit too hot
Jerome Hilt of France participated in the 21 kms marathon and ended a tired man.
Hilt came to Mumbai with some of his French friends, who also participated in the race. He enjoyed his stay in the city but felt the weather was just a bit too hot for a marathon.
"When I started running, I was not sure whether I would complete the race, but eventually I did complete it.
"I am very tired and drained out," he said.
Asked whether he would come back next year if the marathon is held again, he replied: "I am not sure if I will come back. But I will try my best to return. If my friends participate, I might come back again."
Thanking Mumbai for the marathon, he left with a sweet "Merci", which means Thank you in English.
