Quench Beverage & Snack Co., a full-line vending company serving greater Denver and northern Colorado, is now offering area businesses the option to rent its machines and fill them themselves.
The rental programme, reminiscent of the 1980s cooperative service vending model, is designed to allow employers to supply their workers and staff with drinks and snacks at a lower cost than Quench typically charges.
Locations that opt to rent their machines agree on a set price for cases of drinks and snacks that they purchase from Quench. A Quench representative delivers the machine and the first round of products, along with an invoice. The client can then choose to have a set delivery schedule, or order product by phone or online as needed.
Companies that rent vending machines typically designate one employee to restock and collect money from the machines, allowing them to keep pricing low enough to break even, or make a profit if they choose.
"The vending machine rental model is a way of looking at customers' vending needs," said David Carpenter, owner of Quench Beverage & Snack Co. "We like to find creative solutions to earn business and still keep customers' costs down. What's more, we provide friendly customer service and a quick restocking time that the national vending machine companies just can't beat."
Carpenter is passionate about vending and customer service. Over the summer, Quench launched a service request feature on its website that allows customers to report machines requiring service, or to request specific items.

Guns, Crime and Freedom
Regnery, 1994 - Political Science - 263 pages
"During the Los Angeles riots, hundreds of law-abiding citizens were able to take up arms against lawless mobs to defend themselves, their families, their homes, and their businesses. They did the job police simply could not do. Lives were saved. Robberies were prevented. Homes and businesses were defended and left intact - all thanks to our constitutional right to keep and bear arms." "But despite the lessons of the L.A. riots, despite the fact that millions of Americans use firearms every year to prevent violent crime, and despite the clear intent of our Founding Fathers, there are those in America who believe you do not have the right to own a gun." "In Guns, Crime, and Freedom, Wayne LaPierre tells the true story." "Until now, there has been no single source for Americans - gun owners and those who don't own guns but are still interested in the debate over gun control - to find the available facts surrounding the gun control argument. Guns, Crime, and Freedom has all the facts. It explores the issues of gun control, crime, and the Second Amendment, and provides documented evidence and telling statements about the agenda of those who want to ban guns." "LaPierre vigorously challenges the media and their claim that private gun ownership is the cause of the spiraling crime rate that has made American streets and communities unsafe. He explains - with detailed facts - how the freedom guaranteed in our Constitution is called into question when legislation is proposed to ban guns and impose waiting periods and limitations on gun purchases." "At a time when crime rates are soaring, when the "revolving door" criminal justice system turns convicts loose to murder, rob, and rape again, and when police seem helpless to protect innocent citizens, it is urgent, says Guns, Crime, and Freedom, that our right of self-defense not be put in jeopardy."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

MIDDLEBURY — The Vermont State Craft Center at Frog Hollow (VSCC) will close its Middlebury gallery this Saturday, Jan. 31, and then move to sell its 1 Mill St. building to retire the growing debt the nonprofit has accumulated during the past year as a result of plunging sales.

ADDISON COUNTY — New England's largest dairy co-op announced last week that it is phasing out use of a controversial bovine growth hormone that boosts dairy cows' productivity. Come August, Agri-Mark Inc. of Methuen, Mass., will no longer accept any milk from hormone-treated cows at its New England processing plants.
MIDDLEBURY — Leaders of Gov. James Douglas's hometown school board on Tuesday pulled no punches in panning the Middlebury Republican's recent request that communities freeze their per-pupil education spending levels for next year.

MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury Union High School girls' basketball team rode one offensive surge and a third-quarter defensive stand past visiting Vergennes on Tuesday, 48-30.
The win evened the Tigers' record at 6-6, a record that follows last year's 5-15 campaign and the 6-14 mark of the winter before.
By Andy Kirkaldy
It was one thing for the Middlebury Union High School boys' basketball team to crack 100 points against Montpelier earlier this year. The Solons are a perfectly competent (7-6 as of Monday) Division II Vermont basketball team and were willing, at least the first time the two teams met, to run and gun with the Tigers.
ADDISON COUNTY — The sea of humanity that gathered in the nation's capital on Jan. 20 for the inauguration of President Barack Obama has now receded, and local residents have trickled back to Addison County with pictures and memories they said would last a lifetime.
MIDDLEBURY — Mediation has failed to resolve differences between the parties contesting a conditional approval awarded by the town last fall to a proposed Staples in The Centre shopping plaza, so the dispute will now have to be settled in Vermont Environmental Court.
PANTON — The Vergennes-Panton Water District board has in hand a report saying that its 37-year-old Panton plant needs at least $5.2 million of repairs and upgrades, and estimates that paying off a bond to fund that work could mean a hike of $306 a year for a typical residential customer.

CFA to SEM
Mplus Discussion
Multilevel Data/Complex Sample
Albert E. Mannes
posted on Monday, March 17, 2008 - 2:32 pm
Hi Dr. Muthen,
I have a very elementary question. I'm working on a two-level SEM in Mplus 3.1. I'm finished with the CFA of my measurement model. Turning my attention to the SEM, when I substitute causal paths for correlations among the 3 latent constructs at the within level, the model no longer reports standard errors or standardized coefficients and has several error messages.
Before burdening you with what is perhaps idiosyncratic to my data and model, is there something more systematic I should be telling Mplus when going from CFA to SEM? As it stands, all I've done is add the commands (f3 on f1 f2; f2 on f1;) to the CFA model %within% statement in which f1, f2, and f3 were free to correlate. That's it.
Thank you for your attention.

I am running a two-level SEM...
My question concerns the between-level part of the regression (fb1 fb2 fb3 on K). From the correlations I know that K has a very strong (r = .90) positive association with fb3, and a very strong (r = -.90) negative association with fb2. And, fb2 and fb3 are negatively correlated as well (r = -.89). Fb1 and fb2 are correlated at -.44. When K is included in the model, then residual correlation between fb2 and fb3 becomes nonsignificant (-.09), and also residual correlation between fb2 and fb1 becomes nonsignificant.
1) What can we conclude from that (i.e., correlation between the factors disappears when K is included)? It especially concerns fb2 (its residual variance and residual correlations become nonsignificant). Does it mean that some of the associations between the factors can be totally explained by the factor K? Does it mean that the association between fb2 and fb3 is somehow spurious?
2) If the residual is significant (for instance for fb1), I assume this residual is "latent" (it does not include error any more)?

This weekend seemed to be an embarrassment of riches for fans of grainy, nude celeb self-portraits.
Not only did Mad Men's Christina Hendricks appear to have her Joan Holloways prominently displayed when her phone was hacked but her I Don't Know How She Does It costar Olivia Munn got the same treatment, with several photos of both ladies (clothed and otherwise), appearing on the internet Sunday.
Sorry to burst your fan-fiction bubble, boys and girls, but according to reps for both stars, the nudie pics aren't real.
"The topless image is fake and not an image of Christina," Hendricks' rep told E! News, though he did admit that the rest of the photos, which feature the actress' face rather than her other defining attributes, are real.
"Christina's phone was in fact hacked and photos were stolen," the rep admitted. "The proper authorities have been contacted in hopes of rectifying this situation."
Munn took to Twitter to deny the validity of her headless nudies, which were posting along with other self-taken pics (supposedly shot while she was dating Chris Pine) showing the actress in various states of undress.
"If you ever hacked my phone, these are the photos you'd find," the former Daily Show correspondent tweeted, attaching memes of a cat and a humorously overweight baby.
Munn's claims are backed by "sources," who tell TMZ that several of the racy shots, including Munn posing in a black bra, bikini and a v-neck, are legit and have been posted on her blog or Twitter, but the faceless full-frontals are a body double.
While this must be heartbreaking news for fans and celebrity porn sites the world over, remember, there's always a chance they can be Blake Lively-ing.

Students Suspended after Eating Caffeinated Mints
It's important for school officials to be aware of suspicious behavior among students, but Pekin High School in Illinois is cracking down on even the slightest of offenses.
Eric McMichael was recently suspended with three other friends for eating caffeinated mints. At first, school officials thought the students were in possession of drugs, so they had a reason to check things out. But when they discovered Eric and his friends were just sucking on mints, the school still took disciplinary action due to "gross misconduct for taking an unknown product." All students involved were suspended for two days and banned from their school's homecoming events. All this over a little breathe-freshening action?
Understandably, Eric thinks the punishment is completely out of line: "People bring energy drinks to school everyday. I see this everyday and we get in trouble for energy mints?"
Listen, we think things could be much worse. Eric could've spiked his teacher's coffee with butt pills, for example.

False. It's programmers who start from a very high level who have trouble working at any lower level. If you explain a low level programmer how high level facilities (say, coroutines, virtual functions) are actually implemented, he will be able to understand and use them.

Of course, but learning low-level comes first.

For the most part, the metal community has accepted the transition from Algy Ward to Doogie White at the forefront of an underground metal legend. Those who attend a TANK concert these days might lament the absence of Ward's "Wakey wakey!" call to arms. Yet his retirement has opened the door for TANK's self-revitalization with White broadening their channels for sustenance. As a former RAINBOW vocalist, Doogie White has a sharp sense of harmonics on top of an inbred sense of confidence that has made TANK's recent releases "War Machine" and "War Nation" worth checking out. In essence, this becomes a perfect time for TANK to issue a live document of this make-or-break changing of the guard, "War Machine Live".
It might be argued that Algy Ward's punk background in THE SAINTS and THE DAMNED gave TANK a tougher edge than they have now. On the other hand, the exchange for Doogie White allows TANK to open up their songwriting scheme beyond the proto punk, thrash and power metal elements that made them important (if often overlooked) figures of the NWOBHM. White can field TANK's fiercest cuts including newer songs "Feast of the Devil" and "Judgment Day" to band classics such as "This Means War", "Echoes of a Distant Battle", "Honour and Blood", "(He Fell In Love With a) Stormtrooper", "The War Drags Ever On" and "Power of the Hunter". He also brings a newer elegance to the band, which they display on "Grace of God", "Dreamers" and "Don't Dream in the Dark" from "War Nation".
"War Machine Live" shows TANK having to effectively cover two spots with Ward (as former bassist and vocalist) leaving the scene. Fortunately, the expansion to a quintet opens up their sound space with White and bassist Chris Dale covering more fills, thus creating a bulkier tone for the band. There's a slight relinquishment of the hunger that drove TANK's hallowed catalog beginning with 1982's "Filth Hounds of Hades". In turn, they opt more for precision. With the return of drummer Steve Hopgood, TANK is in as solid shape as ever to tromp the metal underground once again, this time with a bit more refinement than their rowdier days of "This Means War" and "Honour and Blood".
"War Machine Live" was filmed March 9, 2012 at the Stodola Club in Warsaw, Poland and while there must've been a cold feeling from the audience's side of the gaping barrier from the stage to allow for the track cameras, the presence onstage is hot enough to thaw their suggested angst. Doogie White has his flung-out audience in his paws from the get-go on "This Means War" and mainstay guitarists Mick Tucker and Cliff Evans draw from White's vigor. The set feels more dignified than outrageously heavy, even if the band rises to full combustion on the blazing "Power of the Hunter" and "The War Drags Ever On". As this set's closer, "The War Drags Ever On" represents both the climax and the exeunt, wrapping on such a high note you buy into the group's new concept wholeheartedly. Even better that Steve Hopgood looks every bit like a war machine on the kit. His attack is meticulous and restless, though he looks like he's hardly building a sweat. The clear calculation behind Hopgood's drumming is thus an awesome spectacle in itself.
In addition to the main performance, "War Machine Live" serves up a nice round of goodies including interviews with Doogie White, Mick Tucker and Cliff Evans. The interviews sound like they were captured in an echo chamber but they're pretty amusing insights, in particular to White, who may or may not be acting diva-cheeky in describing his minor demands on the road which include having his own hotel room. Other extras are the promo video for "War Nation", behind-the-scenes peeks into TANK's studio and road life, photo gallery and the bonus concert, "Live at Metal Hammer Festival 2011". The Metal Hammer show is especially worth digging into. While the sound quality is less superior to the Stodola Club gig, the Metal Hammer concert exposes the nuttier shades of TANK their fans have always loved.
As long as we can expect another live video spotlighting TANK's early years, "War Machine Live" is a perfectly acceptable companion piece to their vintage era as the band hails those days with appreciation and reverence for their diehards.

Spotlight on Economics: The Value of USDA Reports
By Frayne Olson, Assistant Professor/Crop Economist
NDSU Agribusiness and Applied Economics Department
The recent U.S. government shutdown stopped the flow of information that normally is available from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The lack of regular USDA information impacted the behavior of agricultural markets and its participants. Fortunately, the government shutdown only lasted for a short time, but it was long enough for most cash and futures market traders to realize how dependent our marketing system is on the regular flow of independent information.
The USDA market information and outlook forecasts make an easy target for marketing analysts and farmers because they often question and sometimes criticize the information contained in key reports. However, we often do not think about what might happen if this information was not available "free of charge" to the general public. In reality, no information is free, and there are significant tax dollars spent every year to collect the data, analyze figures and report findings. However, these costs are paid for by all U.S. taxpayers, not just those who directly use and benefit from the information.
Why does the USDA spend so much time, effort and money to prepare publically available information? The simple answer is that the USDA is there to help the people who buy and sell agricultural products, such as input suppliers, farmers, grain elevators, food processors, exporters and importers, make more informed decisions and help agricultural markets operate more efficiently.
It is commonly recognized that information has value. If one trader has timelier or more accurate information than other traders, the individual with better information can use it to his or her advantage. For example, if a corn exporter knows that corn yields across the U.S. are higher than is believed by corn importers, the exporter potentially can sell corn for a higher price than if everyone had the same information. The exporter would benefit from the more accurate information if a sale were made. However, what happens if the importer does not buy any corn because the price is too high to be competitive? The shared benefit from the trade would not take place because of inaccurate information and an export sale would be lost.
The weekly Export Sales Report, typically released every Thursday by the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), is one of the key reports that were missed during the three-week government shutdown. During this time, exports of major agricultural products continued and the mandatory reporting requirements were met, but none of the export sales data was compiled and released. Importers took advantage of this lack of information to make larger than expected purchases of corn, soybeans and wheat. Typically, prices increase when a large export sale is made and reported by the FAS. However, because there was no public reporting of any export sales during the shutdown, prices did not respond until after the reports became public and everyone became aware of the amount sold. In this case, the importers may have benefited from the information gap.
The October World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) and Production Report also were not prepared and released because of the shutdown. Both of these reports are watched closely by many sectors within agriculture and are used to set expectations about current and future production and use and price levels for major agricultural commodities.
However, there are private firms that prepare similar estimates. Some firms, such as large grain merchandizing companies, prepare and use their own estimates for internal use only. Other firms sell their information and estimates to clients who do not have the time or resources to prepare them.
Many of the companies that prepare their own estimates use the USDA's information as a reference to cross-check their numbers or as direct input into their own analysis process. For example, a private grain merchandizing company may prepare yield and total production estimates for the major crops it trades by contacting farmers and grain elevators across its trade territory. However, the company may not have contacts in every state or every growing region and may not be able to gather yield information for all of the crops it merchandizes. The USDA production reports can be used to double-check their own yield estimates and fill in any missing information from other states, regions or even countries.
Why are the USDA WASDE and other production reports needed if private companies are preparing similar reports? One of the main reasons is to provide all market participants with accurate information so they can make better decisions and plan for the future. Another advantage is that the methods used by the USDA to forecast or estimate yields, acreage, total use and prices are well-documented and publicly available. Most private companies do not release the methods they used to establish their estimates and forecasts.
Many of the benefits created by the USDA reports and analysis are indirect and can be difficult to trace. It's not until we don't have access to this information that we realize how many different people and organizations use and rely on this information. Would agricultural markets stop working if the USDA information were not available? No, but these markets may not work as smoothly.
The people and companies that do not have access to timely and accurate information or cannot afford to pay for this information will be at a disadvantage, compared with those who do. In addition, trade only takes place when both parties can benefit from the exchange. Some trades may not take place because of poor or incorrect information, so the benefit to both parties is lost. Consistent and timely USDA reports increase the chances that mutually beneficial trades will occur and that these trades will be equitable.

|Ground Beef Calculator
The USDA Nutrient Data Laboratory has launched a new nutrient search program, the Ground Beef Calculator, which provides the user with nutrient information for retail ground beef products containing any level of fat between 3% and 30%. The Ground Beef Calculator generates a nutrient profile based on the fat (or lean) content of retail ground beef and the preparation method specified (broiled patties, pan-broiled patties, loaves, or crumbles). This program complements the ground beef data currently available in the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference.
Click here to start the ground beef calculator and then follow the instructions for entering the percentage fat or lean, and cooking method.
The ground beef calculator can also be accessed from NDL's online search program:
- Start NDL's online search program.
- Select Ground Beef Calculator from the tool bar below the title.
- Then follow the instructions for entering the percentage fat or lean, and cooking method.
To Learn more about the Ground Beef Study
Ground beef, the most commonly consumed beef product in the US, is unique in that a wide range of products differing in lean and fat content are available in most retail stores. In order to provide consumers, scientists, and industry with the nutrient composition information for this variable product, an analytical study was designed to establish the mathematical relationship between the various nutrients and the total fat content of raw ground beef. Ground beef products were purchased nationwide; raw and cooked patties, loaves, and crumbles were prepared for chemical analyses. The nutrient data generated by chemical analysis was then analyzed by regression statistics. Regression analysis yielded equations, which could be used to estimate nutrient profiles for products ranging from 3% to 30% fat. Nutrient profiles for raw and cooked ground beef products containing 3%, 5%, 7%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30% fat are currently available in the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (SR). A computer program (the Ground Beef Calculator) was developed to generate nutrient profiles for ground beef products containing any fat level between 3% and 30%, e.g., 6% fat. Estimates for proximate nutrients (i.e., moisture, protein, fat, and ash), minerals, B-vitamins, folate, choline, vitamins A, E, and K, as well as major fatty acid classes (including saturated and trans fatty acids) are provided.

Sun Surveyor: A Cool Way to Look on the Bright Side, Day or Night
Dec 14, 2012 5:00 AM PT
Sun Surveyor (Sun & Moon), an app from Adam Ratana, is available for US$6.49 at Google Play.
There's a tool out there that you may not have known you needed.
Writing a statement like that make me think I should have gone into the marketing business -- but wait.
Gardeners, photographers, outdoors enthusiasts, outdoor events organizers, architects -- you name it -- will all benefit from this miracle tool made possible by the magic that is the magnetic- compass enabled smartphone.
What is this extraordinary thing, you may ask?
Sun Surveyor (Sun & Moon) predicts the position of sun and moon for any place and time. It provides live on-screen visualization of the track of the sun or moon within the smartphone environment.
This is an incredibly useful bit of functionality if you are a gardener, because it means you can predict sun and shade for a spot in your yard over the course of the year. Use it in conjunction with a gardener's bible like Sunset's Westsern Garden Book, which tells you sun tolerances and requirements for particular plants, and I'll bet you'll see results. Planting a vineyard?
Photographers can plan shots, including shadows, for the golden hour -- that time just before sunset or just after sunrise that can generate superior tones in pictures.
Architects can orient buildings to a climatically friendly spot.
Testing the App
My use for this app, which I've been testing over the summer and can recommend for your next-spring app arsenal is slightly less high-brow. I've been using it for boondocking.
"Boondocking," if you're unfamiliar with the term, is a camping activity here in the West where you legally set up primitive camp on wide-open public land. About 42 percent of California's total area is publicly accessible land -- hence, a 42,000,000-acre windy but generally sunny backyard.
A problem that I used to regularly encounter while weekend boondocking -- an issue that Sun Surveyor corrects -- was how to set up a rickety pop-up four-sided shade canopy, with one hook-and-looped canvas side wall, to maximize shade and view -- without having to keep moving the side wall to chase the sun.
Sun Surveyor allows you to arrive at your prospective campsite day or night and set up camp for optimal shade, view and vehicle position the next day, using the app's sun trajectory view. No guesswork.
A Stellar Contribution
I found that it worked every time I took the trouble to use it. On the one occasion I eyeballed the trajectory -- too lazy to whip out my tablet -- I got it wrong and spent much of an afternoon in 95-degree full sun, which insidiously wormed its way under my shade canopy through a non-walled side.
Fixing the problem would have meant moving an entrenched vehicle that the canopy was tied to for wind abatement purposes, and associated hassle.
How Much Would You Pay?
Expensive, dedicated tools and laptop software that do a similar, though less heavily featured job have been available and are used commonly in the cash-rich film industry. However, Sun Surveyor is $6.49 in the Play store.
But wait -- there's more.
Publisher Adam Ratana has built a superb, useful set of interfaces. A 3D compass with map view lets you add sun and sun path to your position. Dawn and dusk projections and others are included.
For outdoor events like mine -- or any summer picnic or other activity -- 3D is the most useful view, because you can see exactly where the sun will rise or set. This view can be projected out over time. So pop-up canopy positions -- or a performing stage for the ambitious, for example -- can be planned in advance of the actual event.
An augmented reality view lets you use the device's camera to actually see sun projections, or pinpoint the time the sun will be at a specific point.
Any location or any time can be specified with a time machine slider control, and I can see the AR view as being highly useful in a location scout role. In fact, there's a trajectory screenshot-to-share function too, for sending findings back to Scorsese or whomever.
In Conclusion: Sun Surveyor is a Chop-O-Matic of an app -- a five out of five, and I don't say that very often.

NEWS- Tidying up: Cismont dump owners fined $200
The couple whose long-running illegal junkyard has kept Albemarle officials scrambling got their day in court, and they got out with a fine of just $200.
At issue in Albemarle General District Court May 28 were the county's claims that junkyard owners Cecil and Doris Gardner missed four deadlines to clean up their 16-acre Campbell Road property that Albemarle officials had, at various points, claimed was grandfathered.
"I've asked you the last 30 years– we've had people come [from the county]– whether we're grandfathered in," said Doris Gardner, who acted as her and her husband's own counsel, to county zoning inspector John Jones. "Does the county agree this has been going on 30 years?"
"Yes, for quite awhile," agreed Jones.
The saga of the Cismont dump started with neighbors' complaints in 1976. The debris hit the fan January 4, 2005, with a conflagration that could be seen for miles. That's when Albemarle determined that oops, the junkyard was not grandfathered after all– a ruling the county had failed to make following the great tire fire of 1984 that burned for almost two weeks.
For three years Albemarle monitored the Gardners' massive cleanup efforts, while neighbors groused that the couple had been coddled when deadlines were missed. In April 2007, the Board of Supervisors agreed to one last deadline: December 31. When inspectors visited the property January 10 and still found junk, the county filed suit.
"Although the cleanup was proceeding, the property was still a junkyard," testified Jones. "The cleanup was not complete."
According to Jones, the progress the couple has made since the county's January filing has been "amazing," but he noted that there is still material there that makes it a "junkyard."
Judge Robert Downer denied the county's request that the Gardners be fined $1,700 for four missed deadlines, instead fining them $200 for one violation on January 10. He noted that the county failed to provide Board minutes showing the supervisors had voted on the December 31 cleanup deadline. "I have no doubt it's December 31," said Downer, "but it's the county's burden of proof."
At times, the judge advised Doris Gardner on witness examination techniques after Deputy County Attorney Greg Kamptner objected that she sounded like she was testifying: "Don't ask compound questions," suggested Downer. "Keep the questions short, and don't add any facts that haven't already been brought out."
Both sides seemed pleased with the $200 fine. The Gardners declined to comment after the hearing, but their daughter, Linda Shifflett, offered some thoughts.
"We want it finished and done. We're not vindictive," she said. "We're satisfied we have a few more things to do. It's a matter of tidying.
"What we consider tidy," continued Shifflett, "may be different from what the neighbors think– and they can move."

First, ask the company if it participates in an internship credit program towards college graduation. Many companies list that information in their internship postings. An internship with credit towards graduation combines academic coursework with relevant work experience. If an internship is clerical or mechanical, you may not be able to get college credit for it. Some colleges don't give credits for any internships or only to juniors and seniors. Important points to explore if you want college credit include:
- Check with your professor or department chair to find out if your college accepts academic credit. An internship for college credit requires cooperation between the company and an academic sponsor to oversee the internship, ensuring that the internship experience meets academic standards.
- Find out how many total hours are required for how many credits. Credits can range from 3 credits to as many as 12, depending on how many hours you work at your internship. The amount of knowledge learned may also affect the number of credits.
- Do the paperwork before you begin your internship. You'll probably have to fill out an application for college credit with both your company and your academic sponsor. You may be asked to keep a journal and write a paper at the end of the internship about what you learned.
- Ask if your college tuition covers the internship credits. Some schools require that students pay per credit hour for a summer internship while others roll the cost into the regular fall college tuition. Internships that qualify for college credit are often unpaid, so make sure you find out if your tuition covers the credits or if it's your financial responsibility.
- Learn how many internship credits your college or department will accept in your college career. Some schools or majors limit the number of internship credits to ensure that you leave room for all the required academic courses. Take your official internship credits at a company that will do the most to advance your career goals and strengthen your resume.

I think a lot of people are hoping that the Horde Troopers are the next army builder 2 pack... and with the preview of the new eternian palace guards it makes me wonder what cool accessories and items will be included with the troopers? Any thoughts?
Probably a sculpt of the vintage red staff?
Regular and Battle damaged head/ armor? Maybe with wires hanging out?
I remember seeing a horde trooper carrying a cool looking horde shield in the comic or on the tv show.
An extra "bonus" He-man head like in Secret of the Sword?
any other ideas on how mattel will top the palace guards with the amount of heads, features, and weapons with the horde troopers?

Asking for a raise is never easy, even when you deserve it. And when it comes to getting what you want, experts say it's all about timing.
Continue Reading Below
"In a review of your work is a good time, but not always the best time," says Richie Frieman, author of "Modern Manners Guy, for the Quick & Dirty Tips Network"
Being prepared is also important. Joel Garfinkle, author of "Getting Ahead: Three Steps to Take Your Career to the Next Level," says you should spend as much as four to six months getting ready for the discussion.
During that time frame, he recommends noting all the reasons you deserve more money. "Be aware of all you have accomplished so that you can present how valuable you are to the organization," he says. "Remember, your accomplishments are the currency you use to calculate your value."
During the work-up period, Mark Jaffe, president of executive search firm Wyatt & Jaffe suggests doing something memorable to merit a pay hike. Some of the ways to achieve that is to consistently over-perform and do quality work, gain the trust of your boss and stay away from office politics and gossip.
It also helps if you are willing to take on the tough or unpleasant tasks and execute them "brilliantly," he adds.
When listing your contributions, give clear examples. For instance, if you are in sales, show how much your sales numbers have increased over a set period of time. "When you can prove how you make them money, they will be more likely to pay you more," says Frieman.
Before scheduling a meeting, Garfinkle recommends finding out the company's standards and expectations when giving out raises. For instance, does the company have a budget for pay raises, what type of percentage increases have been given previously and how has the company been performing recently, are all things to consider, he says.
Asking for a raise usually ends up being a negotiation, which is why you want to have a range as to what you are willing to accept. You don't want to go into the talks without a clear idea of how much people in the same role and same industry make. In addition to that number, have a lower figure in your head that is acceptable, says Frieman.
While your review is the most common time to ask for a raise, Friedman suggests you wait until after the review and in a separate meeting. Delaying it shows you had time to take in all the information during the review. What you don't want to do is give your boss an ultimatum.
"When you tell your boss, 'If I don't get a raise, I'm leaving,' you better be willing to do so," says Frieman. "Even if you are willing to leave, do you think your boss would want to keep someone that is always looking into the company's pockets or else they're out the door?"

Pardus is a GNU/Linux distribution funded and developed by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey. Pardus has its own unique installer, package manager, configuration wizard, and control panel. This originality, and the developers' attention to detail, make Pardus worth a look.
From the beginning of my experience, Pardus showed its attention to detail. The installer is so incredibly simple that even a Microsoft fan would be hard-pressed to complain. The installer hasn't changed much since we took a look at the previous release seven months ago, so I won't reiterate the process, but it's still worth mentioning how easy to use the installer is. My only complaint is that my choice of Dvorak for keyboard layout was not available as an option.
After the install and subsequent reboot, Kaptan, the initial desktop configuration wizard, appears onscreen to allow you to set up options such as background image and menu orientation, as well as your network. Like the installer, this wizard is easy to use and understand.
After Kaptan finished I ran Tasma, the Pardus configuration center. For the most part, it presented a friendly and intuitive layout for changing system options. The main problem I encountered was that when I selected "Canada" as my region, it set the language to French. Perhaps it's a bug, or perhaps the Pardus team doesn't know, but the majority of Canadians speak English as a first language. However, this was a minor issue and easily fixed. As an added bonus, Tasma let me select Dvorak as my keyboard layout.
I quickly discovered that Pardus includes all the "goodies" that distro developers sometimes avoid for legal reasons. Codecs for all my movies are included, as well as Adobe Flash and Java. In contrast to the way it behaves in many other distributions, the Flash plugin for Firefox actually played sound for me without additional configuration. To top it all off, DVDs played without a hitch. These multimedia features may not be essential parts of the system, but they can be huge annoyances when missing. It was not all fun and games, though: the Flash plugin seems to have crashed Firefox on a number of occasions when I was viewing Flash-enabled sites. The crashes stopped when I disabled Flash.
The default packages included with Pardus cover most major needs. Included are the GIMP and KolourPaint for image manipulation, Gwenview for image viewing, digiKam) for digital camera management, and Kooka for scanner management. For office needs, OpenOffice.org is included, along with various complementary KDE packages (Kontact, Karm, Kalarm, Knotes, and Kpilot, to name a few). Multimedia is well covered, with Amarok, JuK for listening to music, MPlayer and Kaffeine for watching movies, K3b and KaudioCreator for burning and ripping CDs and DVDs, and krecord for recording audio. Internet applications include Kopete for instant messaging, Konversation for IRC, Firefox and Konqueror for Web browsing, KMail, KFTPGrabber, KTorrent, and even Usenet news reader KNode. Most of these applications have been updated since the previous Pardus release, and several are the current stable versions.
While for most people the default programs may be enough, Pardus has its own package manager, called PiSi, and its own repository of packages in case you need something else. Currently there are about 1,200 packages available for install -- a respectable amount. However, since the Pardus repository can't compare to the Debian repository in size (and even that is not complete), I found a few applications and libraries not available through PiSi (such as Video4Linux Grab) which I had to build from source. The regular development tools aren't included with Pardus, but they are available for install through PiSi, which makes it a trivial task to build other applications from source. While it might be nice if more applications were packaged and offered through PiSi, it is easy to see that the workload involved in maintaining all those packages could overwhelm available resources. Given that, I think it's amazing how many packages are already available, and how up-to-date they are. With time and more users, the Pardus repositories will doubtlessly grow, and from what I've experienced of Pardus it looks like it will soon have more users.
The one truly bothersome bug I encountered was that after every reboot the number of virtual desktops in KDE returned to two. I like to have that number set at eight, and I had to redo this process at every boot. Although this is easy to change, it is an annoyance in an otherwise exceptional distribution. The other problems I encountered were temporary, as in the case of the use of French for the Canadian region, or likely the fault of the Pardus team, such as Flash crashing Firefox. The advantages of using Pardus (easy install and configuration, simple and reliable package manager, proper detection of my hardware, and a nice selection of applications installed by default) outweigh the few minor bugs by quite a bit.
My experience with Pardus was quite positive. The attention to detail, right down to skinning Amarok with the Pardus colors, is matched by the elegance of the installer and the efficacy of Kaptan and PiSi. Booting and running Pardus is quite speedy on my old AMD Sempron 2800+ with 512MB RAM; other distributions with similar features (such as Ubuntu) run slower on the same hardware. In short, I think Pardus is a distribution worth looking at for any Linux users who aren't happy with their current choice.

Play will also offer unique features such as email alerts 30 minutes before the beginning of an event and the ability to watch alternative streams and un-broadcast matches. Now, if only beIN could convince Americans to care about soccer in the first place...

VERGENNES — Incumbent Rep. Greg Clark, R-Vergennes, and former Little City mayor Kitty Oxholm emerged victorious on Tuesday in a three-way Republican primary that determined who will move on in the race for the Addison-3 district's two Vermont House seats.
Addison-3 featured the only local contested race on the Sept. 12 primary ballot, but two successful write-in campaigns will add some additional names to the Nov. 7 ballot.
Bristol Republican Nathan Fitzgerald earned 42 write-in tallies to qualify as a late entry into the Addison-4 House race. Fitzgerald ran unsuccessfully in 2004 for one of the two seats in the district, which includes the towns of Bristol, Lincoln, Starksboro and Monkton. Fitzgerald now joins a field of candidates that includes fellow Republican Barb Rainville of Lincoln; incumbent Rep. Mike Fisher, D-Lincoln; and incumbent Rep. Dave Sharpe, D-Bristol.
ADDISON COUNTY — At the same time that Vermont politicians are preparing to take legal action to thwart International Paper Co.'s plans for a two-week trial burn of tire-derived fuel at its Ticonderoga, N.Y., mill, an Addison County-based citizens' group is recruiting the leaders of major "green" corporations to urge IPC brass not to proceed with the test.
Rich Carpenter, the leader of People for Less Pollution, confirmed his group has reached out to environmentally conscious companies such as Starbucks, Seventh Generation Inc. and Newman's Own Inc. to put pressure on IPC to cancel the proposed tire burn — or at least postpone it until International Paper updates its pollution control equipment.

We are the parliamentarian representation of the Alliance 90/The Green Party (Bündnis 90/Die Grünen). Founded in 1980, the Green Party merged in 1993 with the civil rights movement Bündnis 90 of the former German Democratic Republic (GDR). Since 1983, there has been a continuous representation of either The Greens or Alliance 90 in the German Bundestag. For nearly 30 years we have been working in the parliament for environmental protection and sustainable development, democracy and human rights, social justice, peace and multilateral international policies.
From 1998 to 2005 - that is for two electoral terms - our party formed the Federal Government together with the Social Democratic Party (SPD). With Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer, Health Minister Andrea Fischer, Agriculture and Consumer Protection Minister Renate Künast and Environment Minister Jürgen Trittin, key members of our Green Parliamentary Group were responsible for shaping the reform policies of the Red-Green Coalition Government. During this time we played a substantial role in establishing Germany as a reliable and trusted partner for sustainable and peaceful development, both at the national and international level.
From 2005 to 2009 Germany was governed by a CDU/CSU-SPD Grand Coalition. We were one of three parties in opposition, each with a similar number of seats.
From 2009 to 2013 a Coalition by CDU/CSU and FDP governed Germany. We were again one of three parties in opposition. Our parliamentary group was made up of 68 members - the largest representation of ecological/social policies in any parliament around the world. Members of the German Green Party also made up a significant share of the Green parliamentary group in the European Parliament in Brussels/Strasbourg. In countries in and beyond Europe, there were at least 32 Green parties; some are represented in their national parliaments, some are part of their national governments.
Since the elections to the Bundestag in 2013, the green parliamentary group consists of 63 members. Katrin Göring-Eckardt and Anton Hofreiter were voted co-leaders, succeeding Renate Künast and Jürgen Trittin who led the parliamentary group from 2005 to 2013 and 2009 to 2013, respectively.

The quality of domestic cotton entering U.S. textile mills is on a downward spiral and no one is exactly sure why. "I don't mean to be offensive," said Stephen Felker of Avondale Mills, Monroe, Ga. "But I must express my personal concern, as well as the concern of most of my colleagues in the cotton textile business. Something is devaluing the quality of your fiber and it could not happen at a worse time."
Felker, participating on a cotton variety improvement panel at the opening session of the 2001 Beltwide Cotton Conferences, in Anaheim, Calif., said that over the last three years quality has trended down. He said micronaire has become too variable and too coarse for textile mill standards. In addition, staple length and strength are decreasing every year and uniformity is below standards as well.
At the same time, Felker noted, domestic mills are significantly increasing productivity through rapid technological advances.
For example, Avondale has taken about 1.1 million pounds of open-end spinning off the market and has converted that to ring spinning, which is more demanding in terms of fiber quality.
"The worldwide market is demanding more of these ring-spun yarns," Felker said. "I'm going to make them because I have to satisfy my customer. I have to come into the marketplace and buy the cotton from you to meet that technology."
Even faster looms are under development, according to Felker. "Vortex spinning requires such extremely high-quality fiber to perform that it requires the mill to go into the segment of the marketplace and bid for that cotton. That may limit the overall application of vortex spinning in the marketplace."
Felker said the outlook for U.S. textiles is promising. U.S. yarn and fabric exports reached a record in 2000 and there's an even better outlook for 2001.
But the role of U.S. raw cotton in this growth could shrink quickly, unless cotton qualities improve, he told attendees.
"If you are going to grow cotton, grow cotton that will allow these high-speed textile machines to do what they were built to do - maximize productivity and efficiency. Then, we can maximize our use of your cotton. But we must have cotton that can meet these requirements."
Felker proposed a new mill initiative "to close the gap between what growers make and what mills need. We are going to evaluate, on a commercial scale, cotton varieties from the major growing regions. We will run them on the various spinning platforms and tell you which varieties best meet our quality needs and which do not."
Felker said a list of preferred varieties would be made available to growers to help them make decisions on which cotton varieties to plant, but he stopped short of saying whether or not textile mills would provide monetary incentives to a grower for planting a variety high on the list. Participants in the project include USDA and Clemson University.
So what's causing the downtrend in quality? A lapse in breeding efforts, transgenics, the weather? Felker is unsure. "Genetically modified cotton may be addressing pest control and the impact of agriculture on the environment, but do you know with certainty that it is not hurting fiber quality? I am not convinced."
About 12 percent of world cotton is now planted in gene-modified varieties, Felker noted. "The International Cotton Advisory Council says that genetically modified cotton crops are likely to increase to 50 percent of the world crop in five to seven years. Move cautiously. You and I cannot afford a mishap when it comes to fiber quality."
Growers, too, are wondering if there is a connection between declines in quality, as well as yield, and the advent of transgenic varieties. "We've gotten into transgenics the last few years and this quality deterioration has occurred mostly in the last few years," said cotton producer Jack Hamilton, Lake Providence, La.
But seed companies say the declines can be traced to weather and the fact that a host of new varieties are being planted in the United States. They just happen to be transgenic varieties which are also being exposed to harsh environments.
"I don't have a discrepancy with what growers are saying," said Tom Kerby with Delta and Pine Land. "What we seeing is perception, and I've learned that what growers perceive is indeed fact. But we've had weather environments over the past three years that have had an impact. Secondly, the varieties that are being planted in the United States are not producing the same level of quality, independent of the environment, that they were four or five years ago. But our breeding programs are working on that."
"We've done studies on our varieties with and without the traits," added Fredrick Perlak, with Monsanto.

As I write this, I'm sitting in the interview room for the Stagg Bowl teams — yes, in case you thought you were dreaming, it's the same teams as the previous five years. I'll spare you the formal introductions except to tell you that I'm Frank Rossi, your D3football.com "Sideline Guy" for Saturday's online broadcast of the Stagg Bowl.
Oddly enough, we entered the Taliaferro Complex in Salem with a feeling of deja vu as about four inches of snow fell since last night. The forecast is for another potential clipper to produce precipitation sometime Saturday — but it's unlikely we'll see even close to the 21″ of snow we encountered last year.
So, you say you're bored by this matchup again? Well, the cream rose to the top again, and we're going to be treated to an excellent game — the 2010 matchup on paper looks as close as any of the prior five Stagg Bowl matchups between these teams. Yet, there are a number of back stories surrounding this year's Stagg Bowl.
First, who will be quarterback? Okay, we had that question with Kurt Rocco's injury last year, sure. However, this year, BOTH teams have that question facing them. It isn't just of question of who is starting, though. The formations both teams have would enable play by multiple quarterbacks — for instance, Cecil Shorts ran the Wildcat for a few downs last week when Mount Union defeated Bethel. Will we know who will start as quarterback by Saturday at, say, 2 p.m.? Odds are against that — these coaches play this very close to their chest historically. However, there is an additional intrigue surrounding this game because of this question.
Second, there are many stories still to be told by fans of both teams that simply could not make it to the game last year. This wasn't by choice — Mother Nature decided to force their hands. For instance, the Whitewater band and cheerleaders, weather permitting, will actually get to enjoy the game without having to resort to the warmth of a chicken wing franchise.
Also, for the first time, we do not know the winner of the Gagliardi Trophy quite yet. That announcement will be live at 7 .p.m EST, and all of the final four finalists will be on hand (again, weather permitting). We also will air the entire ceremony, including a pre-announcement show and a post-announcement interview and reaction streamed online so tune in and enjoy this excellent ceremony.
Every year, we have different angles, regardless of the teams. Remember that the players change every year (and the rosters, in their entirety, every four years). For those people who feel upset that the rest of the season is predictable, remember that this game has been very unpredictable. Stay tuned for more updates throughout the weekend, and travel safely to Salem if you can make it.

Now speak of anger,
forget all the fears you've kept about love and sex and death and faith,
erased, or swinging sweet from around her neck and between her breasts.
Let every lonely body finally break its fear of flesh and say,
"How strange it must've been back when we shook at the sight of sweat."
Let our worries wander out of like water streaming from a spring,
and sing of all the things our heads have failed to ruin yet.
There's so much they have failed to ruin yet.
Bright as lightning, loud as thunder,
We'll move all the hurt aside to let love sustain our passions,
And move up and onward.
We are not our losses, we are only the extent to which we love.
So build a home for your family, and build a castle for your friends.
Now set their beds with sheets and blanketã, keep them safe until the end.
I've felt the damage and burn from the fallout.
My love failed but theirs prevailed.
My friends, I'm only flesh and bone,
but I won't let you die alone.
So leave our hearts at the foot of the mountain.
Let our burdens be locked in the stone.
If you will help me roll it upward,
I won't let you die alone.
I see a beauty springing upward from the earth and from out our hearts.
For all the bad that seems to plague us, I swear to you there's good.
They say that death is not a problem, it's a promise,
I can only say for sure that when it makes your bed I'll kiss your head "Goodnight."
So speak of all the love we lost, and what it cost us,
Left us beg our breath to stop but we kept on and
We were strong. We stayed bright as lightning,
we sang loud as thunder, we moved ever forward.
We are not our failures. We are love.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry joined Peterbilt Motors Co. executives at Peterbilt's Denton, TX, plant for a bill-signing ceremony where Perry put his signature to a bill that will expand the natural gas infrastructure in the state of Texas.
Senate Bill 20 establishes a natural gas transportation corridor in the rapidly expanding Texas Triangle, which encompasses Austin, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio. The bill will increase the number of natural gas refueling station to support the use of natural gas powered trucks.
"As the leading manufacturer of natural gas vehicles, Peterbilt is honored to have been asked by Gov. Perry's office to host the bill signing ceremony at our Denton manufacturing facility and are committed to supporting the natural gas development efforts," said Bill Jackson, Peterbilt general manager and Paccar vice president. "Peterbilt's family of alternative fuel trucks forms the industry's most comprehensive, high performing, fuel efficient, and environmentally responsible lineup, and these initiatives will promote the use of alternative fuel technologies and create a stronger sense of environmental stewardship through Texas and North America."
Combined with the news last week that Clean Energy Corp., through an investment from Chesapeake Energy Corp. amounting to convertible debt in the amount of $150 million over the next three years, will build LNG fueling stations across the country, this latest news is good for anyone interested in operating a natural gas truck. In fact, for natural gas to become a real player in the transportation industry, we need a few more of these kinds of investments.
Joining Perry at the ceremony was Sen. Jane Nelson, Commissioner Bryan Shaw and representatives James Keffer and Tan Parker.
"The 82nd Legislature passed several bills that will help Texas continue to lead the nation in energy production and expand our use of alternative sources of power in an area in which we're already a national leader," said Perry. "Senate Bill 20 will create a new 'clean transportation triangle' helping add the infrastructure necessary to allow natural gas-fueled trucks, such as the ones produced here, to expand their range across our state. This [Peterbilt] factory stands as yet another example of what's possible when innovative minds are given the freedom to explore, to try new approaches and meet challenges in unique and exciting ways."
Perry also signed Senate Bill 527, which will provides funds through the Texas Emissions Reduction Plan for 20 new air monitors in the 16-county Barnett Shale region, which includes Denton, and House Bill 3328, which requires hydraulic fracturing operators to disclose the chemical constituents of fluids used in the fracturing process on a well-by-well basis.
Peterbilt offers several compressed natural gas or liquefied natural gas vehicles. Models 384, 365 and 320 can all be spec'd with CNG or LNG offering 320 hp. and 1,000 lbs.-ft. of torque with a Cummins Westport ISL-G engine.
Peterbilt also offers the 386 LNG and 367 LNG powered by the Westport GX engine and offering up to 475 hp. and 1,750 lbs.-ft. The 15L Westport GX engine uses high pressure direct injection, proprietary fuel injectors, (HPDI) fuel system, specialized cryogenic fuel tanks, and associated electronic components to facilitate robust performance and reliable operation.

The Canova Casts : Permanent Collection
The Canova Casts on display at the Crawford Gallery represent some of the finest masterpieces from the Vatican Collection. They were made under the supervision of renowned Italian sculptor Antonio Canova and include casts of some of his own works. They came to be in the possession of the Crawford Gallery in something of a circumspect manner, having first arrived at the London Custom's House at the start of the 19th Century, before later being exhibited at the old Apollo Gallery on Patrick Street, under the care of the Cork Society of Arts. After the Royal Cork Institution took over the Cork School of Art they were moved to the Old Custom house, the building which today comprises most of the Crawford Art Gallery, where they provided students of art a chance to study human form and anatomy.
