It's true: We think pretty highly of our students and alumni, and we're glad you do too. That's why we want to make it easy for you to hire them for an open position or internship.
Posting a job or internship is easy and free on both COC Jobline and Capital Jobline.If you're looking for a broad range of students to choose from, visit COCjobline.org and post positions for students from Capital University, Otterbein University, Ohio Dominican University, and Wittenberg University, all at once. CapitalJobline.org is the perfect place for employers who are specifically seeking a Capital student or graduate. This is most often used by Bexley families and local employers.For either job board, just complete the fast and easy registration process, and start posting. Download the instructions and get started (PDF).
Students are encouraged to participate in career-related part-time jobs and internships. Our academic programs offer experiential learning in their curriculum, and many require internships or field placements. We share our internship listings with appropriate academic departments; you can list your internships with us and be sure that they are going to all the right people.
If you already have an internship program, please post the positions on the free web sites listed above.
If you're just getting started, contact us and we'll show you the best way to connect with our students. And don't forget to download our guide to Establishing an Effective Internship Program.
The purpose of an internship is to gain the type of experience that demonstrates preparation for a particular field.
Two main criteria must typically be met to qualify a position as an internship:
For example, if an accounting office has a position that involves nothing more than answering the phone, making copies, filing and running errands, it does not qualify as an internship. But if students are also provided projects that involve accounting, reconciling, financial reporting or processing-related paperwork, then it becomes a learning experience related to their field, and would qualify as an internship.

We are a true leader in service. Saint Michael's Extended Service Program is one of the first Alternative Break options to be offered in college in the United States. Edmundite Father Steve Hornat created the program in 1986 while working in the Office of Campus Ministry. That first year, Fr. Steve traveled with five students to New York City's Covenant House (with whom we continue to work to this day)to do service work over Spring Break. This experience brought with it the opportunity to see life outside what is known and what is comfortable: to sit with others; to actively work beside another; to learn, to witness, and to participate.
We currently send more than 125 students, faculty, and staff to 11 domestic locations, and two international sites, for service each year during school breaks.
Extended Service Application for Students
Extended Service Application for Faculty/Staff
Volunteers will spend much of the week working with Habitat for Humanity in Slidell, a suburb 30 minutes north of New Orleans . Habitat work entails all levels of house building and no experience with carpentry is needed. Volunteers will also be immersed in the local community through two additional service sites: Camelia Gardens, a residential home for elders and New Orleans Mission, serving the poor and marginalized of the city.
Volunteers work in the middle school program at Catholic Central School, which is modeled after the Jesuit-based Nativity Network.Catholic Central exists for students who cannot afford a private education, and offers an extended day, week and year to keep young people focused on education and off the streets.Volunteers work with the St. Monica Scholars Program for Young Women and the St. Augustine Program for Young Men, and have an opportunity to work with a diverse group of students (largely African-American and African refugees, immigrants and new Americans) during the school day and in the after school program. This site is recommended for Secondary Education majors.
Volunteers will work at various locations in Baltimore staffing soup kitchens for people that are homeless, shelters for children, and assisting social service agencies for the aged. In addition, we will learn about the everyday experience of the homeless by working in their environment. Volunteers will stay at the Catholic Charities Volunteer Corps organization in Baltimore. There they will prepare meals and share in reflection as a community.
Hope House is both a community residence for youth between the ages of 16-21 and a Human Services Center. Hope House is a place where youth having difficulties with drug or alcohol abuse, emotional problems or socializing problems can come for help and support. The community residence accommodates 20 teenage boys. During their stay, residents are offered a family atmosphere and counseling services. The Human Services Center at Hope House provides a number of social services in the Suffolk County area and volunteers assist in these social programs. Volunteers also assist at a shelter for people that are homeless. This is recommended for students who major in psychology, sociology or education but is open to everyone.
Volunteers work and stay in one of the residences owned by Covenant House, which has a primary focus of housing individuals between the ages of 16 and 21. Volunteers serve on one of the residential floors of the Covenant House, and interact directly with the youth, and must therefore be 21 or older to participate in this service trip. Volunteers also work with "In God's Love, We Deliver," a food service for people with AIDS, and with the Sisters of Mercy at Mercy Center, which provides an after-school program for children in the Bronx.
Volunteers spend a majority of their time with one of the three shelters and soup kitchens: St. Elizabeth's House, Immaculate Conception Emergency Shelter, and House of Bread. They also work with the after-school program at the Village for Families and Children, Inc. The volunteers stay at the Holy Family Retreat House in West Hartford, Connecticut.
Big Thicket National Preserve was established to protect the remnant swamps, eastern forests, central plains, and southwest deserts of Texas. Throughout the week, volunteers will assist with trail maintenance in the preserve including: clearing brush and small stumps to make the trails more accessible, clearing away species that are endangering the native plant species, and controlled burning to promote the growth of native species. Additionally, one day of the week volunteers will serve in the Beaumont community at the SouthEastern Texas Foodbank and a local organization serving meals on wheels to senior citizens.
Participants have a unique opportunity to serve the needs of the rural poor in the coal mining areas of Kentucky. The week is spent on home-repair and painting projects, but experience is not necessary. Volunteers live in a community of full-time Appalachian volunteers and shared meals, prayer and reflection are built into the daily schedule.
Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, located in Kanab, Utah is home to about 1,500 dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, pigs, goats, birds and other rescued animals. Best Friends is the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for homeless animals, and it provides adoption, spay/neuter, and educational programs around the world. Best Friends relies on volunteers from across the country (and the world!) to help care for the animals and help prepare them for "forever homes". Volunteers help with a variety of tasks throughout the week (walking dogs, socializing with cats, rabbits, pigs, birds and horses, cleaning projects, etc.).
During the day, volunteers will work with the local Habitat for Humanity. No carpentry or building experience is necessary. In the afternoon, the group will help out at an after school program at a local school operated by the Redlands Christian Migrant Association. This school serves the children of migrant farm workers. In the evenings, volunteers will spend time at the Immokalee Friendship House working with homeless men, women, children and migrant farm workers. We will serve dinner, sit down and share the meal with the residents, and spend time getting to know the community.
Volunteers will live and work in a Lakota Native American reservation in La Plant, South Dakota. Working with the non-profit organization Simply Smiles to improve the lives of impoverished children, volunteer efforts will include both hands on construction work as well as programming for the youth summer camp. The size of the reservation is comparable to the state of Connecticut but with a population of only 9,000 people. This is a community surrounded by economic and social strife with a suicide approximately every two weeks, three times the national average. Due to the emotional and physical demands of this trip, there will be additional preparation prior to the trip's departure.
For more information about the Saint Michael's College volunteer program dealing with domestic service, feel free to contact Greg Hamilton '16.
Volunteers work with the poorest of the poor in Kolkata, India, where millions are homeless, living in train stations or on the streets, and many more are living below the poverty line. Much of the three weeks will be spent volunteering for daily shifts at Mother Teresa's homes, which include orphanages for malnourished children and severely handicapped children, and homes for the destitute and dying of Kolkata. Volunteers also fundraise, work on projects for, and visit non-profit and charitable organizations that are providing homes, education, and sustainability for children taken out of the red-light district in Kolkata, a place where most young girls turn to prostitution merely to survive.
Volunteers participate in the work of the Religious Hospitallers of Saint Joseph, a group of religious sisters who minister to children, as well as those who are elderly, sick and impoverished in San Jose de Ocoa, Dominican Republic. Volunteers also travel to a mountain village outside of Ocoa to live in community and work alongside the grassroots organization Asociacion para el Desarollo de San Jose de Ocoa (Association for the Development of San Jose de Ocoa). ADESJO promotes economic, social and cultural development among the people of Ocoa and the surrounding areas.

On 17 May 1974, Bayern Munich won the first of three consecutive European Cups, beating Atlético Madrid 4-0 in a replay.
It was the first time in the final for both teams, who played to a 1-1 draw two days earlier, with both goals coming late in extra time to force a replay. They returned to the Heysel Stadium in Brussels on 17 May and did not have to wait long for Bayern to stake their claim to the trophy.
In the 28th minute, forward Uli Hoeness (pictured) outraced the Atlético defenders to a long ball played out of Bayern's own half, then pushed the ball between the keeper's legs to open the scoring. Exactly thirty minutes later, his striking partner Gerd Müller, the Bundesliga's top scorer for six of the previous eight seasons, powered a shot into the top of the net from a tight angle.
Müller extended the lead to 3-0 with another goal in the 71st minute. Not to be outdone, Hoeness got a second of his own in the 83rd minute to push the final margin to 4-0.
It was the completion of a double for Bayern, who had just won their third straight Bundesliga title. They went on to win the tournament again in 1975, 1976, 2001, and 2013.

(From the forum - what do you think about men making bentos, and 'manly' bentos?)
Hi All - I am Paul a male at the age of 33 from the Netherlands.
I am working in a relatively fast-paced job. Altough I am half Indonesian (mother 100% Indonesian / Father 100% Dutch) years back I totally fell in love with the Japanese kitchen, culture and country.
I love cooking Japanese myself and after stumbling across the Bento Box I decided to extend this to my lunch as well. I am traveling a lot (national and international) and decided that the Bento Box fits in perfectly to enjoy my lunch regardless of the geographical location.
Well deciding to go for the Bento Box was the easy part, getting a proper Bento Box (not for it's size but for its looks) proofed to be a journey in itself. But it was most defenitely worthwile because along the way I came across some interesting websites of which this one stands out.
Is it just me or aren't there much men out there who included the Bento Box in their daily routine? As I included it in my routine I get nothing but interested and positive feedback from co-workers and even clients I visit as I work from their location. Including the Bento Box in my routine also introduced this wonderfull timeslot in my otherwise hectic schedule wherein I totally relax, enjoy healthy food with pure flavours and recharge to take on the second half of my day.
I have enjoyed recipes from this site and it would be my privilege to contribute by giving back to the community.
Many kind regards,
Hello Paul!
Although my husband doesn't contribute to this forum he's a dab hand at Bento making and we share the responsibility of preparing them. The 'twist' is that despite his being Japanese he rarely makes Japanese food for lunch and tends to go for more Mediterranean flavours, particularly those in heartier/heavier dishes. He cooks on a very intuitive level, I'm the one who'll research and take inspiration from recipes (which is why I so love the Just Hungry and Just Bento websites)
Both of us can strongly sympathise with your quest to find a 'manly' bento box. We've never seen anything in London we liked. Thankfully, they are easier to find in Japan. I posted the kind we use in this thread:
Thermos Japan has a nice range of 'non-girlie' bento boxes. Unfortunately, my favourite blue kind made of metal has been replaced with a black and orange theme
But they're still rather nice.
If you're after something that will keep your food better insulated there are these ranges you might like:
Hey there Paul!
I am a 43 year old male from Austin, Texas and a learning but avid bento box maker. I have a son that is getting ready to start kindergarden, and I pack bento lunches for him each day. I enjoy the creative outlet, and he enjoys the food. His bento boxes consistently come home empty at the end of the day.
Here is an example of a recent lunch for my boy: http://www.wilsonmay.me/WilsonMay/Blog/Entries/2009/6/30_Bread_Bento_Box...
I can relate to the lack of masculine bento boxes, although it is not a huge challenge for my son. He is still young enough that the cute boxes work great for him. As to myself, I rarely pack my lunch and use generic plastic storage containers when I do.
Best of luck to you...
That's a great looking bento! Your son must really love them!

Hi Loretta!
Just catching up on the forums and wanted to let you know - in MUJI stores around London there are great plain white or black bento boxes in approx 900ml sizes, good for men who want a plain and non-girlie bento. They also do matching chopsticks and cases. I've seen them most recently in the MUJI next to Covent Garden tube. The Japan Centre have also now started selling a black two-tier box (small pattern but NOT girlie) and those plain beige "onigiri" boxes (triangular etc).
Hope you can find something your husband likes!
Hi Paul
I am 100% dutch, male, moved to Canada 51 year ago. I amke Bento lunches several times a week for lunch at a part time job. My wife and I split the cooking duties (so that we both get kitchen time) but I do Japanese & Indonesian while she does other cuisines. Makes for fabulous food and lots of variety.
Hi Paul, and welcome to the forums!
I guess not that many male bento lovers have surfaced as of yet, but there is certainly interest out there. I think we have a number of male readers of this site. There's a site called A Man's Bento (not updated recently, unfortunately) which has a lot of 'manly' (as in not-cute and hearty) bentos. In Japan, there's increasing interest in bentos made for and by men, and a number of new bento books out on the subject too, partly due to the economy and all. Also, I try to make all the recipes and bento examples here pretty gender-nonspecific (with the occasional lapse into cuteness) since bentos are for everyone!
Why should men's Bento have to be "manly" ??
I am a 29yr old male & enjoy Bento very much but do not feel obligated to have a "manly" Bento! Some of the cute items are really fun & interesting which i think is an essential part of Bento - to be fun & interesting, after all was'nt part of Bento history to make Bento fun & appealing (ok, it was for kids but why cant grown-ups enjoy it too)

On the flipside, I'm female and don't feel obligated to have a 'girlie' bento, nor one that is necesarily cute or 'fun' or particularly interesting looking to anyone not actually eating it.
I'm not sure I could agree that Bento History involved making it fun and interesting - I suspect that this is a relatively recent phenomena, particularly with boxes meant for children, and only covers a fraction of the bento produced on a daily basis.
Admittedly, I picked up some boiled egg shapers from a 100yen store and some gadgets to punch out faces from nori on my last trip to Japan, but that's because I have a baby on the way, I haven't used either device so far.
'Cute' bentos are a real novelty for me, and a phenomenon that whilst I find very interesting, isn't something I can truly engage with. I love the pragmatic challenges of Bento, and I believe most of the History of Bento involved ways of tackling the challenges, which are mostly to do with the practicalities of transporting food conveniently and maintaining its appearance, taste and texture (and freshness) so that it is appetising to eat.
Wealth and the ability to travel long distances quickly allowed an ingrained love of novelty to creep into the Bento and local specialties from all over Japan became better known when visitors who were passing through the area experienced them for the first time as part of a Bento meal. I guess this is a drive for me too - a new recipe or flavour as part of Bento gets my appetite whetted much more than a beautifully carved radish piece.
My ideal bento looks much more like this:
or this: http://seasquare.seacapital.co.jp/3%2017%20%E3%81%8A%E5%BC%81%E5%BD%93.j...
(both of which are arguably quite 'manly')
than it does this:
I'm personally very glad that Maki makes mostly neutral Bento.
Here's a great blog I've come across showing the kind of Bento I'm discussing (they reflect a rather 'manly' aesthetic which doesn't get reflected in the majority of English language 'cute' Bento sites)
There's even a 'yakisoba roll' featured - few convenience store foods are more 'manly' than this! :D
You're absolutely right, a guy's bento doesn't have to be 'manly'; if he prefers to have cute things in his it's business! I guess we are wrong to classify things as 'manly' or 'girly' (like the pink for girls, blue for boys cliché). Great discussion - I'm going to push it up to the front page so more people see it (yay Drupal for making that easy ^_^)
I prefer functional myself... Mine is a plain tupperware[tm] square box that holds 900mL. And along the way I can add an extra smaller asian style tupperware[tm] box for various things like sweet chilly sauce, etc...
I'll need to look into those asian style tupperware boxes. Might be usable as well and it'll look a lot nicer though ;)
Found some pics:
Though mine is with a dark blue cover and I have a set from a small round I'm guess 150mL through the square 200mL up to a big 1.8L square.
I use the small ones for things like parmesan or sweet chili sauce and use the now the 960mL one as my main Bento box.
This discussion amuses me because the first time I ever heard of or saw a bento box, at a restaurant in NYC, the waiter cocked an eyebrow at my tiny dining companion when she ordered it and asked her if she was sure she wanted it, "Because it's so big!" he explained when she asked why she wouldn't want it. And it was. It has become our gold standard of bento and if we come up with a girly or stingy one now we always think of our tough and manly little waiter at Takahachi and his big bento box, wondering if he would approve.
My husband likes bento, although we're not very fancy. We have a Mr. Bento and a couple of two-layer tupperware-type things we use for bento; the food inside is usually tasty rather than pretty (or tasty and pretty).
Sometimes we each make our own, sometimes I make them for both of us, sometimes he makes them for both of us. He gets a little bit teased at work about his wife making his lunch, but mostly everyone's jealous.
He's 32 and we live in Illinois in the US, in a smaller city.
I think it is enough work already on cooking and prepairing them... not to mention to split them into 'man' and 'girl' bentos!
The only difference I make is that my husband's bento holds 900 ml and mine 550. So, his holds more food than mine. And that's all :)
I don't particularly like kyaraben... I mean all those colours are not usually natural. I prefer healthy food, even if it's less attractive. You can have a cute bento sometimes... but honestly it's way too much work to wake up early to cut carrots in cute ways. Even if it only takes you a minute to do it, it's a minute you could spend sleeping! I mean they are carrots anyway. They'll end up in your stomach, cute or not.
I think that should be kept as a 'special day' food. That way you and your loved ones will appreciate it much more :D

My art blog: http://jizaacaso.deviantart.com
I prefer to use boxes that do not have cartoon themes or bubble gum colors. Masculine, industrial, or military appearance is my personal preference. One of my new favorites is a box made by SIGG, the company that makes the water/fuel bottles for outdoor applications. This box comes in two sizes - Maxi and Midi. The Midi size is about the size of a normal bento box. They are aluminum, anodized in several colors and the interior is coated in some type of food-safe coating. As they are metal, they are NOT microwaveable.
I have found stainless steel boxes in stores that sell Indian food and kitchen things and some of these are quite nice. Most however do not seal well.
There is a historic US Army interlocking skillet/bowl mess kit that I have used and enjoy, here again, it does not seal well.
Recently I got a box from Pellican, a maker of waterproof boxes for camera/cell phones/GPS... It is about the right size, kind of deep-ish, has an excellent seal. I ran it through the dishwasher and then filled it with baking soda for a few days to get out the plastic smell. This box seals great and is tough.
I have some skewering techniques that involve stainless steel bolts -- perhaps I need to work up some photos of these.
Anyone with similar preferences got any other suggestions?
Skewers with stainless steel bolts? I'd love to see those! I have the SIGG boxes too and I love them, but they aren't practical for anything that leaks (though I can fit small plastic boxes inside them). They are great for things like onigiri though! I should post a bento using one...
I love the discussions, everybody's input into "manly bentos" is very interesting. I cook bentos for my husband (who is Japanese) every day. When we started we spend some time looking for an appropriate box and we decided to get a plain white rectangular box with clear cover 1000ml and 3 dividers inside. I cook anything from really cute to plain leftovers, depending on my mood and on what I have in the fridge. On occasion, I will cut up the carrots in shapes, which I think brightens up the bento and makes it more aesthetic rather. My husband loves them and often gets envied by his coworkers. So I think you should be able to get a plain box if you want to keep it simple and fill it with what you want to have for lunch, what will make you happy, whether it's a cute bento or a simple meal.
Great to read there are male bento-ers out there! :)
I'm female though, and on the side of Loretta: I like my bento's to look good (tasty), but not especially cute! And I don't like childish stuff. Since bento's are originally made by housewives as a token of their love for husband and children, I believe there will probably have been a difference in cuteness between bento's for the two! So I think it is more about the care you take in making your bento. Hey, there's no real right or wrong if you're having fun -- is there? ;)
O/ Gnoe waves from the centre of Holland to Paul O/
Hi Paul, good to see more dutchy's here. And you've started quite a discussion as well.... like it matters wat gender you are, we all gotta eat, don't we? And in the end, Bento is just a lunch in a box, isn't it? (just like bonsai just means "tree in a pot", I've had quite some discussions on that matter: but it's just a small oaktree! Yes, that's the whole point of it :)).
Anyway, just enjoy your bento's, whatever they may look like!
Yeah I'm a guy and I make my own bento meals. On the whole I'm guessing most men are neither as tidy nor as detail oriented as your typical woman, and I include myself in that, but I do a workman-like job- maybe a little repeditive to call myself a true bento enthusiast. I'm the main consumer too, and in addition to the above that further detracts from the desire for cuteness of preparation. But the eating, that's all good, and this site is invaluable for tips on the subject!
You said that you wanted to see the bolted skewers. I posted a photo on the flickr - just bento, today.
I want to see them too, and I can't find them. Can you post a link here?
My blog is Food and Shoes
Bolted Skewers for bento:
I am not 100% sure what I did for the ones pictured. Carrots, red peppers, onions for sure, may have used some bacon or pancetta (I am a recovering vegetarian...) Brushed on a little sesame oil and soy, threw them on the grill.
Perhaps I should go into a little more detail.
Like I mentioned, the tricky part is the pre-punching of the holes. I found some small tubing at my local hardware. One size is perfect for holes for 1/4" (5 or 6 mm would be a good starting place for metric sizes) and the other size that I use is larger - 1/2" (10mm). Since you have to clean out the tubes during punching the veggies the two sizes I mention are useful since you can clean them out with a bamboo skewer or a chop stick for the larger size. Stainless washers are also a nice touch.
I have been hoping to find some stainless "all thread" and use wing nuts on each end - I like the functionality of the all thread and I bet I can find it in longer lengths. In other parts of the world the tubing may be available in hobby stores.
These stainless skewers, besides being fun, are rather practical since they don'd require soaking like wood, are dishwasher safe. For cooking, I wouldn't use brass or anything besides stainless since some non-stainless bolts are plated with zinc-chromate or even cadmium (Toxic!) Brass tubing for the punch however, is probably OK.
All this may seem to be strange to some -- I enjoy these skewers -- Perhaps I should admit that I am a metallurgical engineer (well, geek, if you must....)
I think what's needed is some good long self-tapping screws. Then you could just thread the food onto them.
I agree, why "pre-drill" when you don't have to. I have seen very long screws with a tapered end (says the woman that likes her wood and metalworking tools more than most men).
Something we have in common Stephanie!
The difficulty will be in finding them in stainless steel. You can't imagine the hassle I had getting something resembling a cup hook in stainless.
I have not had much use for a cup hook, so I can honestly say I have not looked. If you make friends at the hardware store, they will usually order what you need. Or here is always online, with just a quick search I was able to find a number of vendors that sell them in a variety of sizes.
I can always get stainless things via my friend Henry, who is a stainless steel fabricator. It's just a hassle, because he lives in the North Island and I live in the South Island and it means he has to bundle things up and post them. Much easier to be able to go to a shop and buy them and take them home right now. The only places that seem to have much in the way of stainless fittings are marine suppliers, and it all depends on what they happen to have in stock. Via Henry is cheaper, however, and with stainless that is always a big bonus.
I'm not a man, but I am a geek (software engineer), and I settled on a 500 ml black box that I got from Amazon:
The average male would probably need a larger box than that, though.
18 year old male from london here
i had the same problem, i love making bentos but (arguable im a pretty butch guy) a lot of people think its weird me bringing in such ornate lunches to college, but i recently came back from hong kong with a new bento box, its clear and air tight with a divider which im SO happy about
i dont think its weird men having bentos, i think what most people find out is men making them. lucky i hate being normal ;)
(From the forum - what do you think about men making bentos, and 'manly' bentos?)
Is it just me or aren't there much men out there who included the Bento Box in their daily routine? As I included it in my routine I get nothing but interested and positive feedback from co-workers and even clients I visit as I work from their location. Including the Bento Box in my routine also introduced this wonderfull timeslot in my otherwise hectic schedule wherein I totally relax, enjoy healthy food with pure flavours and recharge to take on the second half of my day.
I'm Dutch and we've been searching for a nice box for my husband, one without Hello Kitty. Just this Saturday we came across one at the department store Hema! Just for 15 euro's and it was sold as a lunch box with 4 compartments.
It looks a lot like this one:
Hope this helps you!
I don't think it's weird for men to make bentos or have fun lunch boxes.
go on preparing bentos! :D
I have to say how much I admire all of you men who are preparing bento for yourselves and your loved ones. You are eating healthy, saving money, and exercising a creative outlet.
My DH hasn't gotten around to actually making his bento, but takes an avid interest in the ones that I make for him and always thanks me when he comes home with his empty box. He's using a two-tiered "Urban Style" bento box that slides easily into his briefcase or messenger bag. (And since I have seen him put it in there on-end and upside down, I know that it doesn't leak.)
He has also noticed that more people (including partners in his law firm) are bringing their lunches to work. Since many of them are just throwing salads or leftovers into Tupperware, I sometimes send along extra molded eggs to cheer them up. *_*
I really, really want to see a photo of those law firm partners eating molded eggs :D
Ditto! Please please get your husband to take photos.

Red white and blue-green
Algae warning extended, but it doesn't deter campers
Staff writer
Marion Reservoir's blue-green algae warning, in effect since June 26, was extended Thursday until July 17. Over Independence Day weekend, however, the warning did not stop patrons from filling all 53 campsites in Hillsboro Cove and about 49 sites at Cottonwood Point.
"Hillsboro Cove was 100 percent full and Cedar Point was about 40 percent full," acting lead ranger Melissa Bean said. "This is my first year at Marion, but the staff here has informed me visitation for this weekend is consistent with past years."
Bean said she had observed a mix of county residents and patrons from as far away as Kansas City, Wichita, and Great Bend, fishing and boating for pleasure.
"We have a lot of longtime visitors that still have family in the area," she said. "I feel like our visitors are well read on the risks of blue-green algae."
David and Janet Oursler of Peabody are just that. They have boated at many lakes including Marion Reservoir for more than 40 years. They enjoy the reservoir because of its size, close proximity to their home, and picturesque atmosphere.
The Ourslers camped and boated at Marion Reservoir to celebrate the holiday weekend.
"It makes for a cheap hotel room," David said. "We just took our camper back to Peabody and came back to do some more boating. I thought I would see more boats, but the campgrounds had a good deal of people."
Janet said that using the reservoir was a family tradition.
"Our kids grew up on the lake," she said. "Our son, Rodney, brings his kids now, too."
Even with a skim on the water, Rodney said, blue-green algae has never deterred him from getting out on the reservoir nor has it caused any health problems he can attribute to blue-green algae.
"It's never slowed us down," he said. "It's a commonsense thing. We just shower off and drink a lot of liquids."
The Ourslers said algae warnings can scare potential boaters away.
"It looks worse around the edges where you can see the green accumulation," David said. "It doesn't look as bad as it has in years past."
Swimming continues to be banned at the reservoir.
Humans, pets, and livestock should not drink or come in contact with reservoir water, and pets should not be allowed to eat dried algae.
Although health officials say it is safe to camp, boat, and fish at the reservoir, they warn that if lake water contacts skin or pet fur, the area should be washed with clean drinking water as soon as possible.
Only the fillet portion of fish caught from the reservoir should be eaten. Fish should be cleaned and rinsed with drinking water from another source, and other portions of the fish should be destroyed.
The warning is for Marion Reservoir only. Marion County Park and Lake is not impacted.
Marion Reservoir is one of six Kansas lakes under warning for blue-green algae.
Blue-green algae, technically known as cyanobacteria, can release a deadly neurotoxin. Its presence generally is blamed on agricultural runoff.

The NBA's most promising young shooting guard won't be granted his freedom.
The New Orleans Hornets will match the four-year, $58 million free agent offer sheet the Phoenix Suns gave Eric Gordon.
Gordon is a restricted free agent, so the Hornets can match any offer.
Restricted free agents signing offer sheets with new teams only to be rebuffed by a match from their current team is nothing new, but Gordon doesn't want to stay in New Orleans.
Here's the statement Gordon released shortly after coming to an agreement with the Suns (via ESPN.com, emphasis ours):
"After visiting the Suns, the impression the organization made on me was incredible. Mr. (Robert) Sarver, Lon Babby, Lance Blanks, the Front Office Staff and Coach (Alvin) Gentry run a first-class organization, and I strongly feel they are the right franchise for me. Phoenix is just where my heart is now."
Gordon couldn't have been more direct in his plea.
(Not that he ever hid his displeasure since arriving in NOLA. Just look at that picture.)
The Hornets thought they got a huge building block when they acquired Gordon from the Los Angeles Clippers as part of the Chris Paul trade last year.
And after getting a new owner and landing two lottery picks (No. 1 Anthony Davis and No. 10 Austin Rivers), all the right pieces seemed to be in place for the franchise to take a big step forward.
Now they may be left with an uber talented, but grumpy starting two guard as their supposed "team leader."
It's not to say Gordon may come around to the idea of staying with the Hornets after he gets a few practices/games in with Anthony Davis, but this is definitely not the way the team (and the league) wanted the New Orleans reboot to get started.

A Texas-based startup has released two new smart controllers as part of its flagship product line aimed at simplifying motion control for manufacturing automation and other types of robots.
The AX-50 and AX-100 controllers join the AX-RLX as offerings from Agile Planet, a company that grew from technology licensed from the University of Texas (UT), developed over about 15 years, CEO Chetan Kapoor told Design News.
That technology was intelligent control software for robotics for use in various applications: nuclear plants, space, and industrial automation.
"We made these robots do tasks that involved a lot of sensing, and allowed them to plan their motions intelligently," Kapoor told us. "They were also sensitive to touch so they could perform an operation that allowed them to touch something, push something, and even interact with humans."
Agile adapted that technology to create controllers with intelligence in the system that eliminates configuration or programming steps for developers using the software with robotics systems. Kapoor explains:
For example, if you're connecting our software to a robot, it automatically knows the physics of the robot, which will make it move smoothly. If a robot hits something, it's sensitive to touch and it will move back. It knows what way to go to get to point A to point B fastest, [whereas] normally in systems you have to teach it every point. Instead, it will figure out things itself.
Agile was launched in 2008, with the AX-RLX controller leveraging the UT technology released in 2010. Agile first hitched its wagon to Rockwell Automation, creating its first product as a plug-in module for that company's programmable logic controllers (PLCs). An early customer, Yaskawa Motoma, is using Rockwell's PLC with Agile's controller in commercial products, Kapoor said.
However, while most industrial automation systems are standardized on one company's platform -- such as one for Rockwell or Siemens -- that standardization is only because it's difficult to create and control a system of best-in-breed components, Kapoor said.
People use the standards to do lip service, but they don't deliver easy-to-use software. For example, a company will say they support Ethernet, but there is no software/intelligence on top of it to make it easy [to deploy].
Now, with the AX-50 and AX-100, Agile has released controllers that aren't tied to one system, but are rather platform agnostic, working with a range of other systems and robots, Kapoor said. This gives OEMs a choice in what drivers and components they use in an automation or robotics system, and allows one controller for them all. According to Kapoor:
[Agile controllers] make any hardware that is downstream look the same to the user. An end-user programming it can mix and match servo drives and robotics from different vendors, and they will come across the same.
The key difference between the two new controllers is that the AX-50 is primarily for simple motion control, such as machines with up to 16 axes of motion. If an application demands coordinated control -- such as in a sophisticated robotic arm -- the more sophisticated AX-100 contains the algorithms to enable that type of robotic movement.

What could be more exciting than controlling your in-home lighting from your iPad? Yep, you guessed it, controlling you in-home lighting with your voice through the use of Siri. That is now a possibility thanks to developer Brandon Evans who has worked out a way to control the recently launched Hue smart lighting system from Philips. The system uses the SiriProxy hack which stands between your iOS device and Apple's servers; it then intercepts Siri voice instructions which enable additional commands to be added to Siri's repertoire without involving Apple's servers.
The first thing that I wanted to do with the Hue bulbs is get them working with Siri. I had seen last year someone created SiriProxy (in Ruby, luckily for me), and that it should allow me to do this. I'm actually using the The-Three-Little-Pigs fork as it has active developers, although I'll continue to just call it SiriProxy. The other part of making this work was the Hue API. Philips has said that they want to release an SDK at some point, however quite a few people have sniffed the API already and gained almost full control of the system.
A big takeaway from this project is just how well Siri handles natural language processing. SiriProxy won't let you handle anything as magical as "Siri, could you make the kitchen a little more romantic?" unless you make that an explicit command. It's still possible to speak commands in conversational english, but it isn't flexible outside the regex that you create. It also tends to misrecognize words like hallway ("whole way").
Brandon was able to control many things such as turning certain lights on and off, increasing the brightness of specific bulbs and he is currently working on color changes of the LED bulbs too. It makes you wonder just what Apple could achieve with Siri if it can perfect its understanding of normal language. The idea of a future home where its entire lighting, heating etc is controlled by your voice may not be that far away after all. You can see what Siri is capable of in the video below.

Nelly Tour Bus Raid: Police Find Heroin, Weed + a Loaded Gun
Nelly's tour bus was raided in Texas on Wednesday (Oct. 10), and authorities found massive amounts of weed, heroin and a loaded gun. According to TMZ, the bus was stopped at a border patrol checkpoint and a police canine detected the presence of contraband in the vehicle.
Nelly (real name Cornell Haynes) and several passengers were eventually detained after a search discovered three dozen small baggies of heroin (totaling .64 ounces), over ten pounds of marijuana and a loaded .45 caliber pistol. Whoa, Nelly!
One of the detainees, Brian Keith Jones, told authorities that the drugs and firearm were his and was arrested. Nelly and the other individuals were released to their tour bus.
We must also mention that this is the same checkpoint that has yielded drug busts from several celebrities including Snoop Dogg and Fiona Apple.
The Hudspeth County Sheriff's Department issued a statement (courtesy of River Front Times) that reads:
Press Release
Hudspeth County Sheriff's Office
October 11, 2012
Sierra Blanca, Texas--
On October 10, 2012 at approximately 8 pm. a 2007 Black Prevost Tour Bus that records later would reveal it belonged to Cornell Iral Haynes, a.k.a Nelly, who was onboard at the time, traveling eastbound on I-10 approached the U.S. Border Patrol Checkpoint located in Sierra Blanca, Texas. During a routine check of U.S. citizenship the inspecting Border Patrol agent, a canine detected the presence of concealed humans and/or controlled substances emitting from the seams of the main entrance of the vehicle and requested the driver to pull into the secondary inspection lane for further inspection. The agent requested all subjects to exit the bus so that a canine working the checkpoint could conduct an inspection of the vehicle. Upon entering the bus the canine alerted to a cardboard box. A further search produced a small plastic container containing marijuana, and (36) very small Ziploc bags containing Heroin and a loaded .45 cal pistol.
At that time all seven occupants of the vehicle were detained and read their Miranda Warning Rights. Upon further inspection of the canine alerted to an outside lower compartment of the vehicle--after accessing the compartment agents found a large green-duffle bag containing (9) vacuum sealed bags containing marijuana. (Total weight of the marijuana seized was 10.4 lbs and weight of the Heroin was a total of .64 ounces).
At that time Brian Keith Jones freely admitted that the controlled substances along with the weapon belonged to him and he was placed under arrest by U.S. Border Patrol agents and detained. The vehicle and all subjects except for Jones were released from the checkpoint and allowed to travel with no further incident. At approximately 930pm the Hudspeth County Sheriff's Office was contacted and upon arrival, Mr. Jones was taken into custody and transported to the Hudspeth County jail and is currently awaiting a bond-hearing expected to take place later today or tomorrow.
Nelly's reps had no comment on the matter.

Write your custom SAFs using NSAPI functions. For a summary of some of the most commonly used NSAPI functions, see Overview of NSAPI C Functions and for available routines, see Chapter 6, NSAPI Function and Macro Reference.
For examples of custom SAFs, see Chapter 4, Examples of Custom SAFs and Filters.
The signature for all SAFs is as follows:
int function(pblock *pb, Session *sn, Request *rq);
For more details on the parameters, see SAF Parameters.
You must register your SAFs with the server. SAFs may be registered using the funcs parameter of the load-modules Init SAF or by a call to func_insert. A plug-in may define a nspai_module_init function that is used to call func_insert and perform any other initialization tasks. For more information, see nsapi_module_init() Function and func_insert() Function.
The server runs as a multi-threaded single process. On UNIX platforms, the server runs two processes, a parent and a child, for historical reasons. The parent process performs some initialization and forks the child process. The child process performs further initialization and handles all of the HTTP requests.
Keep the following in mind when writing your SAF:
Write thread-safe code
Blocking can affect performance
Write small functions with parameters and configure the parameters in obj.conf
Carefully check and handle all errors and log the errors so you can determine the source of problems and fix them
If necessary, write an initialization function that performs initialization tasks required by your new SAFs. The initialization function must be named nsapi_module_init and has the same signature as other SAFs:
int nsapi_module_init(pblock *pb, Session *sn, Request *rq);
SAFs should to be able to obtain certain types of information from their parameters. In most cases, parameter block (pblock) data structures provide the fundamental storage mechanism for these parameters. pblock maintains its data as a collection of name-value pairs. For a summary of the most commonly used functions for working with pblock structures, see Parameter Block Manipulation Routines.
When defining a SAF, you do not specifically state which directive it is written for. However, each SAF must be written for a specific directive, such as AuthTrans, Service, and so on. Each directive requires its SAFs to behave in particular ways, and your SAF must conform to the requirements of the directive for which it was written. For details on what each directive requires of its SAFs, see Required Behavior of SAFs for Each Directive.

We are interested in how embryonic pattern is generated and the resultant congenital malformations that occur when patterning fails. During development, the egg must activate a cascade of genes in order to form our body structure and establish correct pattern along the body axes. We are deeply interested in the gene regulatory networks that are necessary to create critical signals in specific embryonic locations at appropriate developmental stages. These signals must be carefully orchestrated in order to generate forms that are essential to function and the overall fitness of the organism.
Our main approach is gene discovery from patients with congenital malformations, and then study them in our rapid, human model, Xenopus tropicalis. Recently, the remarkable advances in human genetics/genomics is transforming our understanding of the causes of congenital malformations. Traditionally gene discovery in these patients was very challenging, but new sequencing technologies enable gene discovery in these patients. In human studies, we have identified many new genes and are analyzing their patterning mechanisms in Xenopus. Combining human genetics with a high-throughput model system has allowed us to discover new genetic mechanisms and novel understanding of how development proceeds.

Worst experience ever. Ordered on 16/08/2017 and estimated ship date was 21/08/2017, it's 06/09/2017 now and there is still no info when item will be shipped. Tried to contact pixels.com twice via contact form, no answer. Charger supposed to be gift for my father's birthday on 09/09/2017 but you managed to ruin it. Since I tried to contact You via contact form, and got no result. I hope that you'll read this comment and return me my money, since you failed to deliver product which is now useless to me because you weren't able to provide any info for couple of weeks

Want to be just like Bruce Wayne's superhero alter-ego, but don't want to build your own Flatmobile? Well, you could just buy this. It's a real Batmobile from the Tim Burton-directed films starring Michael Keaton. And this ain't just a prop, it actually runs too, though we're not too sure how practical (or legal) it would be for daily use. Of course the price isn't very practical either, at a current asking price of $500,000. For that money, we'd rather have Bruce Wayne's Lambo. Vehicle description from the current seller after the jump:
Na na na na na na na na na na BATMAN. That is what your neighbors will say when you pull into the driveway. How many people do you know that have a Ferrari, a Mercedes, a Lamborghini, or a Corvette? My guess would be there is at least one of these in your neighborhood. Now how many Batmobiles are in your neighborhood. None, because there were a total of 5 of these cars made.
Here it is one of 5(yes 5 that is not a typo) cars that could have been in the "Batman" movie staring Micheal Keaton and Jack Nicholson. Five cars were built for the movie and this car is the number five car. Being that this car originally was owned by Warner Bros productions it is important to note that the buyer will have to sign a contract with them and some other legal items. If you would like to know more about this, contact me and I will give you all the details.
The car is 20 feet long and 8 feet wide. The chassis is custom built and the motor is a Chevrolet 350. There an o doors on the door. To get in you have to be able to enter through the top where the canopy opens, just like in the movie. There is no title to this car and will only be sold with a bill of sale.
Batman 5 has been sitting in the "Batcave" for almost five years now, and it is time for another Batman enthusiast to enjoy her as much as I have. Please contact me with any questions you have. Any questions except for what my reserve is.

Make India accept the DRS system
Why are India still allowed to play international cricket whilst they (the only team ) do not accept the DRS system,it makes one wonder who is ruling cricket at the moment,India or the World organisation.....the Indians have missed out on a few dubious decisions against Australia that COULD have changed the results of matches.
