Material cost for lumber used to make your trunk is additional to the Session fee.

You will need to buy a ticket to go along with your Session ticket. Limited space is available.
When can I take my trunk home or have it delivered?

On Tuesday, July 26, 2011, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced a notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) for "Human Subjects Research: Enhancing Protections for Research Subjects and Reducing Burden, Delay and Ambiguity for Investigators." The notice was published in the Federal Register (76 FR 44512).
The Chronicle reported this week that there would be a one month extension for universities to submit their pleas…
Universities knew they faced a complicated and far-reaching challenge when the federal government announced last month that it planned the first overhaul in three decades of regulations governing research on humans.
That realization was confirmed Wednesday with an announcement by the Department of Health and Human Services that it would accept university pleas for a one-month extension of the period for comments on the plan.

Office of Strategic Communications
Photography and Filming Guidelines - Commercial and Non-Commercial
Thank you for your interest in Morehouse College as a possible filming location. These guidelines have been developed to outline policies and procedures for commercial and non-commercial filming and photography on the Morehouse College campus and off-campus locations associated with the institution.
The Office of Strategic Communications will coordinate all requests for commercial and non-commercial filming and photography at Morehouse College. Requests should be routed to Kara Walker via email at email@example.com.
Photography and Filming (Non-commercial)
All photographs and videotapes taken for Morehouse College are the property of Morehouse College and may be used for Morehouse College promotional purposes (e.g. electronic and printed publications, websites, classroom use, college ads, etc.). The College reserves the right to take photographs and video of campus facilities and scenes, events, faculty, staff, and students for College use in any areas on campus where subjects do not have an expectation of privacy and provided the photographs do not violate the privacy of the subject.
These photographs and videotapes often include Students in classrooms, study areas, residence halls, and at athletic events and PSC-related activities.
Morehouse College does not attempt to collect photo release forms from members of its faculty, staff, or student body. Instead, we make the assumption that Morehouse faculty, staff, and students are our best resources for marketing the College and its constituencies and that they will welcome involvement in these activities.
Morehouse reserves the right to use these photographs and videotapes as a part of its publicity and marketing efforts. Students who enroll at Morehouse do so with the understanding that these photographs and videotapes might include their names, pictures, images, voices, and likenesses, and such photographs or videotapes might be included, published, or used in Morehouse publications including print, broadcast, or electronic media, for publicity, commercial, or marketing purposes, and enrollment at Morehouse constitutes Students' consent to the inclusion, publication, or use of their names, pictures, images, voices, and likenesses in Morehouse publications, both printed and electronic, for publicity, commercial, promotional, or marketing purposes without compensation.
Photography and Filming (Commercial)
The Office of Strategic Communications will coordinate all requests for commercial and non-commercial filming and photography at Morehouse College. Requests should be routed to Kara Walker via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Campus agencies that may be affected by a film project: security, grounds, and academic divisions – depend on the Office of Communications to screen all requests and confirm arrangements. Please do not contact campus departments directly.
Obtaining approval
Large-scale film or photography projects can only take place with the written permission of the College. The production company must ensure the College has at least six weeks for any proposed filming activity to be considered. Shorter requests will be vetted at the discretion of the College. Details that must be submitted for initial approval are:
- The name of the production company
- Type of production
- The script or synopsis and shoot schedule
- Proposed shoot location(s)
- Proposed activity, including proposals to film subjects of a controversial nature
- Proposed length of shoot
- Contact name and number and email address
Once approved, the proposal will be turned over to a campus liaison who will serve as the point of contact for the production company and location manager on the logistics of the production.
The following additional information will be required by the campus liaison before filming begins:
- Details about the scale of the production in terms of personnel and vehicles
- Proposals to use special effects, rain or snow machines or stunt work on public footways or carriages
- Proposals to alter or disguise property
- Detailed plans for any pre-filming recces – please note that all such recces must take place in the company of a College representative and only the specified locations noted in the contract can be visited
No filming will take place without a signed contract that outlines the terms agreed upon between the College and the production company. Any rental fee for the use of the College's property is at the College's discretion and must be paid before production begins.
Most areas of the Morehouse College campus may be used for filming. However, all locations must be properly vetted and approved by the College. Prior to filming and at a minimum of seven (7) business days prior to the desired date, a representative of the production company must walk through the desired location(s) with a representative of the Office of Communications and/or Office of Event Support Services.
The production company must ensure that all necessary emergency services are notified of filming activity and access for emergency vehicles must always be maintained during location filming. In particular, the Morehouse College Police Department must be notified if the production company is to stage crimes, accidents, use firearms, dress artists as policemen or other members of the emergency services. Campus police must also be notified and the proper municipal permits must be obtained if the production company plans to disrupt traffic or close public pathways or highways.
Filmmakers should be sensitive to the multi-cultural Campus community and students, staff and members of the public should be treated with courtesy at all times. To that end:
- Noise should be kept to a minimum
- Crew members should use only the agreed upon space for filming and should keep access to buildings, corridors and offices clear at all times
- Crew members must not trespass onto neighboring property or enter areas of the location which have not been cleared by the campus liaison
- All waste materials or dustsheets should be provided where appropriate to cover furniture or flooring for interior filming
- Objects belonging to the location must not be moved or removed without the owner's permission
- All waste material and equipment must be removed from the site once filming is completed
- Catering services are available for hire through the campus catering services. Details can be obtained from the campus liaison
Script approval:
Prior to shooting, a copy of the final script storyboard(s) or synopsis associated with the scenes being shot on campus must be submitted to the Office of Strategic Communications for approval. Script approval must be granted prior to the signing of the Agreement.
The location fee is based on a half-day/full-day rate system. The time coverage by the agreement begins when the first production vehicle arrives and ends when the last one leaves on the day of the shoot.
The Office of Strategic Communications will assist the film company with scouts, securing permission to film from various campus agents, handling contract negotiations, and assisting the cast and crew on the day(s) of filming. Charges for these services are listed as an administration fee on the invoice.
Fees for campus services (security, custodial, etc.) will be listed separately. An itemized invoice will be forwarded to the company fourteen (14) days after the culmination of shooting on campus. All fees must be paid in accordance with the policies and procedures set forth by the Office of Business and Finance at Morehouse.
The production company is responsible for providing evidence of viable insurance policies as set forth in the contract within 72 hours of the first day of shooting. The production company also will need to have secured adequate City of Atlanta permits within this same timeframe.
A Certificate of Insurance naming Morehouse College as additionally insured for the day(s) of the shoot must be provided, as follows and for not less than:
US $5 Million - All feature/television productions
US $3 Million - All documentary productions
US $1 Million - All still photography/small video productions
A Certificate of Insurance must be from a licensed insurance carrier and the carriers license must be current and in effect through the filming. The address for the certificate should read:
Undria Stalling
Vice President/Interim Chief Financial Officer
830 Westview Drive, SW
Atlanta, Georgia 30314
Special arrangements for parking specific vehicles (generator, production truck, staff cars, etc.) can be arranged. All other parking will be subject to normal parking procedures.

While on our research trip last week to the Mississippi Gulf, my cousin Monique and I paid our respects to our ancestors' graves, including great, great-grandma Tempy Burton's located at the Evergreen Cemetery in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. We were overcome with emotion (and mosquitos) when we came upon her tombstone, covered by a canopy of trees and overlooking a bayou. We were also struck by how clean and white the tombstone looked especially since it's almost 100 years old! Could it be that someone gave Tempy's tombstone a makeover? (Maybe Granny told them her people were coming!)
But seriously, this is what her tombstone looked like a few months back when Find A Grave volunteer Ann Nash discovered it:

all inclusive vacation packages europe
There is a benefit for taking cheap all inclusive family vacations. Many families in this economic downturn, wondering where the next dollar will come from and the idea of ??a vacation with the chance of random spending is enough to discourage the most well-meaning parents.
With an all-in formula almost everything is included. High ticket items such as golf and scuba diving are often extra, but the waiver may be agreed upon before leaving these activities. The rooms, meals, and a large part of the pre-paid tours, it is easy to budget, without worrying about the cheap all inclusive family vacations.

not completely satisfied with the gift, they will have another delivered soon without any extra charge.
Today hundreds of beautifully designed flower bouquets flood the market. Companies and experts in them are all dedicated in bringing forth

If you want to earn Bitcoin online, this is a post that will help you do just that. Bitcoin is the world's first peer to peer crypto-
currency that isn't controlled by any central issuing agency but is rather an open source protocol that is followed by all the people who
participate in the economy. No one can manipulate the supply of Bitcoins and all transactions that take place in this economy are
cryptographically verified through a process called Bitcoin mining. Your Bitcoins are as secure as public key cryptography can be.
bitcoin value
Once you understand and appreciate the concept of Bitcoin, the next logical question is, how do you earn some Bitcoin? Here are some ideas –
Make money online and convert them to Bitcoin
Believe it or not, it is still much easier to make US Dollars! You can then exchange these dollars you make for Bitcoin at any of the
exchanges such as Bitstamp or Coinbase if you're located in the US.
National, regional and local laws govern the lottery, so regulations differ widely among countries or even within them, such as the US. In
the US, Powerball prizes have increased sharply due to the cost per ticket doubling to $2, and California, the nation's most populous state,
joining 42 other states, Washington D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands, in playing the game. The Powerball combines a large jackpot game and a
cash game drawn twice a week, every Wednesday and Saturday. For an additional dollar, you can add the PowerPlay option which increases the
size of your prize if you win. The Mega Millions tickets cost $1 per play, with the MegaPlier option that costs an additional $1 with which
you increase your non-jackpot prize winnings by 2, 3, 4, or 5 times; drawn every Tuesday and Friday..
You have other world richest lottery games with which you have the opportunity to take your chance through secure online outlets like
WinTrillions, Florida Lotto Magic, and Euro Millions Oracle. You can buy your tickets from these online outlets to play lottery games, like:
Launched in January 2010, Garmin Nuvi 1690 Hiking GPS is loaded with many features for easy navigation. Its nüLink! Services for Connected
Navigators offers quick and real time updates on the gas prices, traffic conditions, flight status, weather and more. That's a big plus as
you can stay updated on all the info you want on the fly. And, it also tells you about local events, restaurants, movie times in theaters
close to your location. It also lets you search Google using preset categories or search terms of your choice. NüLink! service works on
AT&T's EDGE network, and comes free for the first two years of use. You'll be saving plenty of dollars there! After this free subscription
time, you may have to pay a small fee to continue this service (that's a real spoiler!).
When it comes to the design, Garmin Nuvi looks pretty sleek and stylish with its gloss-black frame and chrome trim. The 4.3-inch touch
screen gives you a clear view of the streets and maps. The touch screen is a tad unresponsive at some times. The navigation, on the other
hand, is a breeze. (Though you many have to press the buttons a little hard). You just have to press the up/down buttons or slide the screen
to navigate the menu.
I will take a long-term approach to my long-term investments. This seems rather obvious, however, it's pretty common for individual
investors to overreact to short-term market trends and news when it comes to their long term investments such as retirement plans. It's
tempting to sell out of stocks when the market is reeling, but if you have a long term perspective, you understand that markets go up and
down and you can keep your eye on the big picture. In the same way that you need not panic over short-term bad news, you shouldn't become
overly aggressive when things are going great.
Dividend Stocks – What Are They
– I will build and maintain an emergency savings fund. So many American live above their means and save very little. While many of us are
"forced" to save for retirement through our 401(k) plans, no one is forcing us to build up an emergency fund. An emergency fund should be
100% liquid and safe and should provide 3-6 months' worth of living expenses. Even if you are a good investor, you never want to be in a
position to have to sell something low when unexpected expenses arise. Three to six months of expenses is what most financial planners
suggest, but if you are self-employed or in an industry that is highly cyclical or one with frequent lay-offs, you might consider a little
What are Binary Options?
As stated, to put it simply, it is betting. Say you notice a specific stock or commodity that catches your eye. You pay attention to it
regularly, you know its predicted path, and you have quite a lot of knowledge about it. You could invest in it when it is low and sell high,
of course, or you could invest in its changes. You could bet on its value change at a specific time. That is what you are doing with binary
options. Instead of making an investment and selling when the investment pays off, you can quickly bet a large amount on the changes in
price. If you follow something closely,
What Are Stocks or if you know how to do research and get accurate information, you can make accurate
predictions that will result in huge returns. This can help you to earn a lot of money in a short period of time simply by using your
knowledge or ability to do good research. With some options changing in value constantly, there are numerous opportunities in front of you
to start earning money and to start increasing your funds in ways that other methods cannot match.
Parents are forever looking for new and more varied ways of keeping their offspring fit and promoting their wellbeing, as well as
encouraging them to get away from the TV and computer by playing with friends in the fresh air. When it comes to basketball, such an intense
and dynamic workout whilst working with numerous team members can reap many rewards in relation to a young adult's physical health and
sociability. Basketball is a formidable team sport for those who want to get in shape and stay in shape, as well as an effective way to make
new friends and hone the competitive edge that teens naturally possess.
However, serious injuries to a player's ankles are also an unfortunate aspect of any basketball game. It is possible to unintentionally roll
or sprain your ankle at a moment's notice, which can lead to painful injuries that players may end up suffering. Luckily, technological
advances across the sports industry in recent years have allowed basketball shoes to provide maximum ankle support and help prevent
injuries, which contribute to a safer level of overall performance.
If your skillful teen slam-dunker requires extra ankle support, the following list of shoes may be of some help when you need to purchase
new B-ball footwear.
Finally, when trying on shoes before a purchase, you should experiment with jumping around while wearing them, and even perhaps a small
amount of light jogging. In doing so, you can verify how flexible they feel, and how they absorb shock. In relation to ankle rolls and
sprains, it should only be possible for you to twist your foot about a quarter of the way. If your foot twists any further than that, they
are not offering you enough ankle support.
1. Passports. Talk to any airline and they will tell you how many times they are forced to refuse entry into the departure lounge for
passengers who have forgotten their passports. A slight variation on this theme is the forgotten airline ticket(s).
2. Prescription medications. This is the sort of thing you usually keep in the bedside cabinet at home and which it is terrifyingly easy to
forget when packing. If you do, plan in an emergency and irritating visit to a local doctor at your holiday destination immediately upon
Brighten Up Your Holiday Travel
3. Your accommodation details. It's not unknown to find people wandering around holiday resorts at unsociable hours, desperately trying to
find someone who can direct them to their accommodation – even though they don't know the name of their hotel or apartment block and haven't
got an address either. This can be comical, often involving verbal descriptions of brochure photographs of the hotel concerned whilst
begging for ideas and directions from passers-by.
4. Credit cards etc. The need to be careful with your plastic and money on holiday is of paramount importance but occasionally some people
become so wrapped up in the idea of security and that they adopt the ultimate solution to the risk of theft when on holiday. They
unintentionally leave their plastic at home!
In contrast to hotel rooms with restricted space, these extravagant vacations rentals offer you luxurious space both indoor and outdoor with
no compromise on security. In fact, some of these extravagant properties are in the most posh locations and have eight rooms or even more,
mind you these rooms are very spacious. Such rental properties make for the most ideal getaway for those people that are looking for space
and all the trimmings of luxury. Also, these rentals provide all their guests with privacy which is very important because you are there
with the people that are most close to you and would want to enjoy it without the world bothering you.
discount vacations
The top luxury vacation rentals are located in the best holiday spots and in the most posh locations around the globe. This is primarily
because these areas are most frequently visited by those people that look for extravagant accommodations.
One of the benefits of a long-term vacation is that you have the chance to make this new location a home away from home. You can eat meals
in and dine out, go on tours or simply walk around your new neighborhood. While you should definitely make efforts to enjoy your vacation to
the fullest you can use all the above methods to save some money while you are away. Additionally you can consider working as a freelancer
(if your job supports that) or picking up and odd job to make some money on the side. Whatever it is that you'd like to try, go for it! It's

Here we list 5 essential features of video converter software according to most users' needs and you might want to have a look when you are
searching for a video converter.
The first thing you need to find out is whether the video converter supports the input formats that you are converting from and the output
formats that you are converting to. The supported input formats should contain almost all video formats while the supported output formats
should include most of popular video formats. For example, Sothink Free Video Converter supports AVI (DivX, XivD), MP4, MKV, MOV, WMV, TS,
FLV, SWF, ASF, MPG, 3GP, 3G2, VOB (VCD), and DV. That will probably be enough.

one spot of the warehouse, making sure that all the products are on the right pallet. Sometimes, I would have to restock the pallets if the
bags of milk replacer had fallen to the ground. If the bags were ripped open, I would find an empty bag, re-weigh the product, and then sew
the bag back up. Once that was done, I would go after the wood pellets, dog and cat food, salt blocks (for cattle and horses), and put them
in their proper places. This went on for about 3 months. I got that warehouse cleaned up and organize that one of the employees said to me,

It estimated that video content actually attracts two or even three times as much traffic as other forms of content. Not only that, but it
can actually extend the length of time that visitors will spend on your website. This could result in as much as 150% increase in the

Flea eggs accumulate in areas where the host spends most of its time. In addition, adult fleas defecate small pellets of digested blood
which also drop off into the environment. A flea comb will often gather this fecal matter at the base of the tines providing a good sign of
flea infestation. The combination of white flea eggs and black dried blood specks may appear as a sprinkling of salt and pepper where an
infested animal has slept.
Fleas undergo complete metamorphosis, that is, they pass through four developmental stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Immature fleas do
not resemble adults at all.
cat fleas and ticks
Flea larvae are tiny, light colored, and, worm-like, without legs. They feed primarily on various debris and organic material including the
droppings of the adults which contains digested blood. Flea larvae occur indoors and outdoors, wherever the eggs have fallen off the host.
In houses, flea larvae live in carpeting, furniture, animal bedding and other protected areas with high humidity. Flea larvae also live
outdoors in areas where animals spend time such as under porches in and around dog houses, etc.
Because flea larvae depend on the adult's fecal pellets of dried blood as a food source, they cannot live in lawns or other outdoor areas
unless the pet visits those areas enough to provide this food.

Sockets have been around since the marriage of the IP address and port and are used heavily behind the scenes in products such as Internet Information Server (IIS), chat applications and even military applications and devices. Although programming directly against sockets isn't as common as it may have been in years past, sockets are still a key technology used to send data back and forth between applications, devices, or other controls. The .NET framework has supported sockets since its initial release and with the release of Silverlight 2 sockets can also be used with Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) to push data from a server to a client. Other RIA application frameworks such as Flash also provide support for socket to socket communications.
If you've worked on a client-side application that needed to receive up-to-date data then you're probably used to solving the problem by polling. With polling, the client contacts the server on a consistent, timed basis to see if any updates are available. ASP.NET AJAX provides a Timer control that makes this process straightforward. The problem with polling is that unless the data is changing a lot, most of the client checks to the server are simply wasted bandwidth in cases where no changes have occurred. If you're calling a Web Service and passing JSON messages back and forth then the overhead is certainly minimal, but wouldn't it be nice if the server could push updates to the client as needed instead? In fact, wouldn't it be nice if multiple clients could receive the same updates on a consistent basis so everyone is in sync? Silverlight 2's support for sockets makes this a reality.
In the first installment of this multi-part article, I describe how to create a socket server that clients can connect to and receive data. In the second part in the series, I cover the client-side and explain how to connect a Silverlight client to a server and process data.
What are Sockets?
Sockets let a host server listen for clients that would like to connect to a specific socket (an IP address combined with a port). Once clients connect to the server, data can be exchanged in both directions. This means that the server can push data to the client as opposed to having the client poll the server on a timed basis to check for changes (the technique used in AJAX applications).
The .NET framework provides direct support for using sockets through the System.Net.Sockets namespace and provides classes such as Socket and TcpListener that can be used to create a server application that can listen for client connections. Figure 1 shows a Silverlight 2 application built around the concept of sockets that allows a server application to push data down to a client that displays the score of a basketball game. The game is simulated on the server and as each team scores the update is pushed to the client so that the score and action that occurred can be displayed.
Creating the Server
To create a server that uses sockets you'll need to import the System.Net and System.Net.Sockets namespace. You can use the Socket or TcpListener class to listen for client connection attempts but I opted for the TcpListener class since my Silverlight 2 clients would only be connecting over TCP anyway (as opposed to UDP or another protocol). The server application listens on port 4530 which is in the range Silverlight 2 Beta 1 allows. The sample application uses a standard console application to host the server but a Windows Service would certainly be preferable in a more real-life situation.
Listing One shows the code that starts up the TcpListener class within the server as well as a timer that is used to send data to the client on a random basis. The _TcpClientConnected object is a ManualResetEvent object that blocks threads until previous ones have connected. The key line of code is the BeginAcceptTcpClient() method which asynchronously routes client connection attempts to a callback method named OnBeginAccept().
public void StartSocketServer() { InitializeData(); _Timer = new System.Timers.Timer(); _Timer.Enabled = false; _Timer.Interval = 2000D; _Timer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(_Timer_Elapsed); try { //Allowed port range 4502-4532 _Listener = new TcpListener(IPAddress.Any, 4530); _Listener.Start(); Console.WriteLine("Server listening..."); while (true) { _TcpClientConnected.Reset(); Console.WriteLine("Waiting for client connection..."); _Listener.BeginAcceptTcpClient( new AsyncCallback(OnBeginAccept),null); _TcpClientConnected.WaitOne(); //Block until client connects } } catch (Exception exp) { LogError(exp); } }
Once a client tries to connect the OnBeginAccept() method is called (see Listing Two) which sends team data down to the client and starts the timer which simulates scores and game actions. The stream used to write to each client is added to a collection since it's used later as changes on the server occur.
private void OnBeginAccept(IAsyncResult ar) { _TcpClientConnected.Set(); //Allow waiting thread to proceed TcpListener listener = _Listener; TcpClient client = listener.EndAcceptTcpClient(ar); if (client.Connected) { Console.WriteLine("Client connected..."); StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(client.GetStream()); writer.AutoFlush = true; _ClientStreams.Add(writer); Console.WriteLine("Sending initial team data..."); writer.WriteLine(GetTeamData()); if (_Timer.Enabled == false) { _Timer.Start(); } } }
The initial team data that is sent from the server to the client immediately after a client connects is created in the GetTeamData() method in Listing Three. This code uses the XmlWriter to generate XML data that is parsed by a Silverlight client. The data contains teams and players involved in the simulated game.
private string GetTeamData() { StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(); using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(sw)) { writer.WriteStartElement("Teams"); foreach (string key in _Teams.Keys) { writer.WriteStartElement("Team"); writer.WriteAttributeString("Name", key); Dictionary<Guid, string> players = _Teams[key]; foreach (Guid playerKey in players.Keys) { writer.WriteStartElement("Player"); writer.WriteAttributeString("ID", playerKey.ToString()); writer.WriteAttributeString("Name", players[playerKey]); writer.WriteEndElement(); } writer.WriteEndElement(); } writer.WriteEndElement(); } return sw.ToString(); }
As the Timer object fires, the _Timer_Elapsed() method is called which handles sending score updates to the client on a random basis to simulate plays in a game. Listing Four shows the code for the timer _Timer_Elapsed() event handler.
private void _Timer_Elapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e) { SendData(GetScoreData()); //Setting new interval to simulate different data feed times Random r = new Random(); _Timer.Interval = (double)r.Next(3000, 7000); } private void SendData(string data) { if (_ClientStreams != null) { foreach (StreamWriter writer in _ClientStreams) { if (writer != null) { writer.Write(data); } } } }
The GetScoreData() method handles creating fictitious basketball scores and actions. It picks values from an enum named ActionsEnum and generates messages about what action was performed that the client can display. The ActionsEnum type is shown next:
public enum ActionsEnum { Foul = 0, MadeFoulShot = 1, Made2Pointer = 2, Made3Pointer = 3, Turnover = 4, Miss = 5 }
Listing Five shows the GetScoreData() method and a few supporting methods. This particular code doesn't have anything to do with sockets, but it's used to send data to the client using a socket.
private string GetScoreData() { UpdateScoreData(); Console.WriteLine("Sending score data..."); StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(); XmlSerializer xm = new XmlSerializer(typeof(ScoreData)); xm.Serialize(sw, _ScoreData); return sw.ToString(); } private void UpdateScoreData() { Random r = new Random(); //Get last action ActionsEnum action = (ActionsEnum)r.Next(0, Enum.GetNames(typeof(ActionsEnum)).Length); //Get player that performed action KeyValuePair<Guid,string> player = GetActionPlayer(action); string defensiveTeam = _Teams.Keys.Where(key => key != _ScoreData.TeamOnOffense).First(); string message = _ScoreData.TeamOnOffense + ": " + player.Value; switch (action) { case ActionsEnum.Foul: message = defensiveTeam + ": " + player.Value + " committed a foul."; break; case ActionsEnum.Made2Pointer: message += " scored 2 points."; break; case ActionsEnum.Made3Pointer: message += " scored 3 points."; break; case ActionsEnum.MadeFoulShot: message += " made a foul shot after foul."; break; case ActionsEnum.Miss: message += " missed."; break; case ActionsEnum.Turnover: message += " turned it over"; break; } int teamPos = 1; int points = ((int)action > 3)?0:(int)action; foreach (string name in _Teams.Keys) { if (teamPos == 1 && name == _ScoreData.TeamOnOffense) { _ScoreData.Team1Score += points; } if (teamPos == 2 && name == _ScoreData.TeamOnOffense) { _ScoreData.Team2Score += points; } teamPos++; } _ScoreData.Action = action; _ScoreData.LastActionPlayerID = player.Key; _ScoreData.LastAction = message; _ScoreData.LastActionPoints = points; //Change teams if a foul wasn't committed if (action != ActionsEnum.Foul) { _ScoreData.TeamOnOffense = defensiveTeam; } } private KeyValuePair<Guid, string> GetActionPlayer(ActionsEnum action) { Dictionary<Guid, string> players = null; if (action == ActionsEnum.Foul) { //Get defensive team players players = _Teams[_Teams.Keys.Where(name => name != _ScoreData.TeamOnOffense).First()]; } else { players = _Teams[_Teams.Keys.Where(name => name == _ScoreData.TeamOnOffense).First()]; } Random r = new Random(); return players.ElementAt(r.Next(0, players.Count)); }
There's a little more code that the server application relies on which I won't show. However, you can download the complete application here. The code shown above is really all that's involved for creating a server that listens for clients on a specific IP address and port using the TcpListener class. I chose the asynchronous route for listening for client connections but other viable techniques also exist.
In Part II, I cover the client-side and discuss how Silverlight 2 can connect to a server using sockets.

S.A. program targets preschool obesity
Parents fall in love with chubby-cheeked infants with pudgy thighs. As children grow, their parents encourage them to clean their plates to fuel their development.
But public health officials are worrying about excessive weight gain in the first months and years of life. More than 20 percent of children between ages 2 and 5 already are overweight or obese, according to an Institute of Medicine report released in 2011, and this can set them on a dangerous trajectory toward lifelong obesity. And minority children are at a higher risk.
While mountains of studies have focused on obesity prevention in older children and adults, there hasn't been as much research looking at young children. But researchers at the University of Texas at San Antonio and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio have found that interventions among minority preschool children can help them develop more healthful habits. Their study about a pilot program for preschoolers ran in the journal Childhood Obesity in October.
"So many of their eating habits are established at such a young age that this is where we're really needing to work with parents and get the parents' buy-in," says Dr. Amelie Ramirez, director of the Institute for Health Promotion Research at the UT Health Science Center and a co-author of the study. "In the Latino culture, a healthy baby is a chubby baby. They do gain that cute baby fat, but we're seeing nowadays so many parents letting them have so much sugared beverages and so forth at such an early age that they kind of become addicted to sweets and salt."
The goal of the local study, called "Míranos! Look at Us, We Are Healthy!" was to create environments both at school and at home to help kids develop healthful lifestyle habits. The intent was not to promote weight loss, because the kids are growing, but to promote healthy weight gain.
The results were positive: Kids who received the intervention showed increases in outdoor physical activity and consumption of fruit, vegetables and low-fat milk, as well as higher gains of gross motor skills, compared to the kids who did not receive the intervention. They were more willing to drink water. And the intervention controlled their weight gain.
"They were kind of taking their little overweight bodies and growing into them," Ramirez says. "They were able to sustain their weight but increase in height."
Míranos! was conducted for 18 weeks in four Head Start centers on the West and Southwest sides of San Antonio. The subjects were predominantly Mexican American children.
The approach had multiple components, because teachers and parents must be involved to change the children's environment at school and home, says Zenong Yin, a professor in UTSA's department of health and kinesiology and the lead author of the study.
"We really think for anything to have impact, we have to really provide enough support so the kids can do the same thing at home," Yin says. "You can't just teach them at school and do nothing at home."
Researchers bought the centers portable equipment such as balls and cones for outdoor play and provided a curriculum for teachers to conduct health-related activities in the classroom. They organized tastings of healthful foods and rewarded kids for drinking water and eating fruits and vegetables.
Teachers received education in nutrition and physical activity and began leading structured play at recess instead of observing the children from a distance.
Educating parents was a bit more difficult.
"The challenge with any kind of health promotion is parents don't show up," Yin says.
So researchers relied on parent educators to teach other parents about childhood obesity during poster sessions at the school when parents arrived to pick up their children. The parents also received family activities and low-calorie snacks to take home.
The researchers implemented the school-based activities at two centers; at another center, they implemented the school activities and the parent education to encourage more healthful habits at home. The fourth center received no intervention. The best results were seen among children who received interventions both at home and school.
The results were encouraging enough that researchers and the Family Service Association, which runs Head Start centers in San Antonio, plan to apply for funding from the National Institutes of Health for a large randomized trial to test the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of Míranos! in child-care centers.

Research about CBD is still in the beginning stages. This is thanks to the evolving laws in states like California and Colorado that have begun to note that marijuana has a wide variety of medicinal benefits. CBD pain relief cream has helped multiple patients in states where marijuana is medically legal, and has allowed them to enjoy relief of numerous symptoms.
Much of the research about marijuana has been focused on its THC content. This has left researchers with much difficulty learning about the other ingredients in the plant. The last several decades, however, have taught us that CBD and other parts of the plant can provide many benefits to patients who choose to use them to treat their symptoms.
However, it is crucially important to be sure that you get your CBD cream from a distributor who is authorized. States that are authorized to retail medical marijuana have strict rules about making and distributing these types of creams. Learn about the regulations where you are, and be sure that anything you purchase follows these rules.
It's also important that you learn how much of the cream to use, as well as the precise way to apply it. Ingredients of the cream are always absorbed through your skin, so it can be tough to sort out the right dosage for you at first. Some individuals will recommend that you start a chart when you begin to use the cream, noting the result that you're achieving. For instance, you can note your pain levels when you first begin to apply the cream.
Write down how much of it you use on which are of your body, as well as the brand you've used. Also note how you're feeling fifteen minutes after application, a half hour later, and then after a full our. Keep a log like this, and over time you'll have the right dosage to use for the level of pain that you're experiencing. You'll also know where to apply the cream to your body, as different areas may respond to the cream in different ways. This makes it essential that you keep a careful record of all the areas that you use the cream on your body, so that you'll have a complete understanding of your results.
You'll be able to use CBD pain relief in the states where it is now legal, and it will help you to obtain long lasting freedom from the aches and pains that you currently have. You'll be able to permanently say goodbye to your chronic pain, using a good quality CBD pain relief cream.

Wholesale Full-Spectrum CBD Skin Care
As everyone is waking up to the wide world of marijuana and its products, everyone is finding out just how complicated cannabis is. As it turns out, there are at least 80 different types of cannabinoids alone, and 100 in cannabis and CBD hemp put together. CBD to THC ratios is from 20 to 1 up to 30 to 1; meaning the plant can contain CBD 20 percent and 0.6 percent THC.
Now, what the percentages and ratios mean will differ based upon individual states. In Colorado, those types of ratios are what make up industrial hemp, while other states define 1 percent as industrial hemp. Industrial hemp is not to be confused with the plant material that makes up rope and other manufactured products. High-CBD hemp, as it is known, is different than the fiber hemp used in production. Here's where the confusion is set in motion. Fiber hemp has 1 percent to 2 percent CBD.
Full-spectrum CBD is a powerhouse because it contains terpenes and cannabinoids together. CBD itself is only one small part of the cannabinoid family. Each is able to interact well with the endocannabinoid system. As research is performed, it is coming to light that the CBD has this interaction with the body. It's important that the natural structure and power of the cannabinoids are extracted without breaking down their ability to interact in the endocannabinoid system.
Full spectrum CBD is not inexpensive. If you are searching for it, and come across a great deal, its quality is probably not great. It may mean that there is a problem with the methods used to grow it or how the full-spectrum CBD oil was pulled out of the plant.
The full spectrum CBD, which includes terpenes and cannabinoids, is best extracted using organic alcohol, specifically grape solvents because it is oil soluble. It's never good to use chemical-grade solvents, butane, or propane to extract the oil, such as denatured alcohol.
The issue is when molecular extraction is performed as well. This is too far away from the natural process, which can pull out the extremely beneficial synergies of the plant. If you see a pure crystal CBD, avoid it.
It is also possible to extract high-CBD hemp using carbon dioxide. This is part of the plant's oil soluble part that is taken out of the leaves to leave behind terpenes. This is how a pure extract is derived in order to achieve the full synergy the plant can provide.

With a single-word response, Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. surprised and amused his listeners in the first Democratic primary debate, in April 2007. He was asked if he could be disciplined on the world stage and restrain his legendary loquaciousness.
"Yes," he said.
No one expected Mr. Biden to stop there, but he did, leaving an expectant silence, until the audience caught the joke and burst into laughter.
He showed less restraint in a CNN/YouTube debate a few months later, when a gun owner asked where the candidates stood on gun control, saying he wanted to know if his "babies" would be safe. "This is my baby," the man said on the video, showing off his Bushmaster AR-15.
"I'll tell you what," Mr. Biden replied. "If that is his baby, he needs help."
The audience applauded enthusiastically, but Mr. Biden did not stop there.
He went on to deride the questioner, saying he incriminated himself because the man said he bought the gun while it was banned, then he questioned the man's stability. "I don't know that he is mentally qualified to own that gun," he said in a gratuitous aside.Continue reading the main story
The Democrats held 26 debates during the primary season. Mr. Biden, of Delaware, participated in 14 of them before he dropped out of the race Jan. 3, after he came in fifth in the Iowa caucuses. That would seem to give him a huge advantage going into Thursday's vice-presidential debate with Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, who has never debated on the national stage.
But his off-putting remark to the gun owner suggests that perhaps his "yes" answer to the question about self-discipline had been premature and that there are perils ahead for Mr. Biden on Thursday — both because of his tendency to go too far and the hazards of debating a woman.
A review of Mr. Biden's debate performances shows him to be deeply knowledgeable across a range of topics, reflecting his nearly four decades in Washington, where he is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Mr. Biden's answers tend to gush forth and his voice is raspy, which lends his arguments an air of urgency. He also uses assertive phrases like, "the truth is," or "folks, let me tell you," which grab listeners by the lapel.
At the June 3 debate in New Hampshire, for example, he was asked to defend his vote to continue financing the war in Iraq, a vote sought by the White House and criticized by fellow Democrats as an open-ended commitment to the war. All the other Democrats on stage voted against it, including Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, the presidential nominee who has picked Mr. Biden as his running mate.
"I love these guys who tell you they're going to stop the war," Mr. Biden said of his fellow Democrats. "Let me tell you straight up the truth. The truth of the matter is, the only one that's emboldened the enemy has been George Bush by his policies, not us funding the war."
One danger for Mr. Biden on Thursday is that his habit of speaking authoritatively, of saying he possesses the truth, will come across as overbearing or condescending, particularly toward someone like Ms. Palin, who lacks his credentials. To try to guard against sounding sexist, he is sparring in practice sessions with Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm of Michigan, who is playing the role of Ms. Palin.
The only other time a woman has appeared on the debate stage as part of a major-party ticket was in 1984, when Geraldine A. Ferraro, the Democratic vice-presidential nominee, faced Vice President George Bush. One exchange might offer Mr. Biden a good lesson.
Mr. Bush had said, "Let me help you with the difference, Mrs. Ferraro, between Iran and the embassy in Lebanon." Ms. Ferraro instantly highlighted what she perceived as condescension: "I almost resent, Vice President Bush, your patronizing attitude that you have to teach me about foreign policy."
Mr. Bush underscored one of the hazards of debating a woman when he later gloated into an open microphone, "We tried to kick a little ass last night."
The risk may be even greater for Mr. Biden. His innate exuberance and gusto in speaking without stopping for air can make him sound like he is clubbing his points — and his opponent.
He loves railing against the Republicans; he did so most memorably in an October debate in Philadelphia, when he said of former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani of New York, "There's only three things he mentions in a sentence: a noun and a verb and 9/11."
The line was a huge hit, but again, Mr. Biden did not let it rest. Although the question had nothing to do with Mr. Giuliani, Mr. Biden milked it for 43 seconds more.
Other perils for Mr. Biden are unrelated to Ms. Palin.
He has a tendency to blurt out whatever is on his mind. Even as the vice-presidential nominee, Mr. Biden has veered off script, creating a series of flaps in recent days, from opposing the bailout of the American International Group, which Mr. Obama supported, to labeling as "terrible" an Obama campaign commercial against Senator John McCain, the Republican nominee.
Mr. Biden describes himself as blunt.
He was asked at a Dec. 13 debate in Iowa about whether some of his earlier comments — that Mr. Obama "is articulate and bright and clean," for example — reflected a discomfort with the subject of race.
"It may be possible because I speak so bluntly that people misunderstand," Mr. Biden said, defending his commitment to civil rights. Mr. Biden looked sad as Mr. Obama himself stepped in to vouch for him.
One of the consequences of a long time in the Senate is a long record of votes for which one can be held accountable, just as a consequence of a long primary can be a long record of attacks on allies. On Thursday, Mr. Biden may have to answer for both. See the debate of June 3, 2007, for how he twisted himself in knots over a vote for a 700-mile-long fence along the border with Mexico. And see Mr. Biden's statement that votes against financing the Iraq war by other Democratic candidates, including Mr. Obama, amount to "cutting off support that will save the lives of thousands of American troops."
Joseph A. Pika, a political scientist at the University of Delaware who has observed Mr. Biden over much of his career, said the senator was prone to making broad declarations — "We've got to level with the American people!" — then expounding with lengthy elaborations.
"He likes to hold forth," Dr. Pika said. "Being an effective debater will require him to be disciplined and focused and to make his points punchier than is customarily his style."Continue reading the main story

Openbravo for Retail can now be used on smart phones. This article explains its responsive behaviour and ends with a recommended device strategy.
Although computer devices so far only come with rectangular shaped displays, the wide variety of screen sizes nowadays makes designing software that runs well on different devices a much harder task than a few years ago. Apart from different screen sizes, developers also have to deal with different resolutions, aspect ratios and different operating systems. As for the last factor, fortunately Openbravo for Retail runs in a web browser which makes it platform-independent. This leaves us with the factors screen size, resolution and ratio to worry about.
Screen Sizes, Resolutions and Ratios
Smart phones are getting bigger, tablets are getting smaller and more laptops have touch screens. It is clear that there is a lot of overlap in device categories when only looked at from a specifications point of view. Here is a rough categorization:
- Traditional desktop and laptop computers that are operated using a keyboard and a point & click device such as a mouse or trackpad. Screen sizes vary between 11" (e.g. a Macbook Air or Netbook) and a 24" external monitor. Resolutions vary roughly between 1024x640 and 1920x1200 pixels with aspect ratios from a more traditional 16:12 up to a widescreen 16:9 ratio.
- Tablets with touch screens that are operated by fingers or a stylus. These typically measure between 7" and 11". With the introduction of Windows 8 it is expected to see much larger "tablets" because most Windows 8 laptops will also have a touch screen in addition to a keyboard. However, I believe that every device with a screen larger than 11" is best treated as a traditional computer since it will rarely be used on the go because of its sheer size. Tablets are operated using both hands but can also be placed in a stand and used with one hand or even an external keyboard.
- Smart phones with touch screens that are operated by fingers or a stylus. These typically measure between 3" and 5" with hybrids ("phablets") up to 6" of display size. Aspect ratios vary between 16/9 (e.g. iPhone 5) and 16/12 (e.g. LG VU II). Mobile phones can be held in one hand while being operated by the other. With a smaller display size or bigger hands, one-hand operation is common.
One, Two and Three Columns
For Openbravo for Retail this works as follows:
Large widescreen monitors will benefit from a three column layout. Besides the ticket and scan/browse/search/edit columns, users will also see an additional workspace column on the left hand side. Note that the third column has not been developed yet but is part of our roadmap for this year.
Medium sized monitors and tablets in landscape mode will be using a two column layout. This is what Openbravo for Retail is currently using.
Smart phones and tablets in portrait mode will work with a single column and depending on the task at hand, the user can switch between the columns by swiping horizontally or tapping a pagination button.
You may wonder why we have put in pagination buttons when you can swipe horizontally. We could have used the precious screen space for something else, right? The answer stems from our design philosophy which assumes that it is unknown which kind of input device people are using. A typical retail point-of-sale setup will use a touch screen but many stores also need a keyboard and mouse to look up products that require keying in long product codes or keywords. It could also be the case that a retailer simply does not want to replace his current monitors with touch screens. Simply stated: Openbravo for Retail and Openbravo Mobile does not want to impose a device or input method.
Device Strategy
With such a large amount of factors choosing the best device for your context is not easy but with responsive design you will be able to run Openbravo for Retail on most devices if you take into consideration a few guidelines.
First, there is a minimum screen size. This has nothing to do with pixels but has everything to do with basic usability. If things get too small, you simply cannot read text anymore and controls will be hard to target. The minimum screen size for smart phones for Openbravo for Retail is 3.5".
Second, there is a minimum resolution. The more pixels available, the more information can be shown. The minimum resolution for smart phones for Openbravo for Retail is 480 x 800 pixels.
Third, there is a minimum amount of memory and processing power that the mobile device needs to have to run Openbravo for Retail comfortably. Because everything runs inside a browser, theoretically the browser determines the need for system resources. As a rough baseline, make sure to have 512 MB RAM memory on board and a 1 GHZ processor.
Fourth, there is the need to use an up-to-date browser that is either Chrome, Safari or the Android stock browser.
Complying with the above, the remaining factors for choosing the right device will depend on your users and usage context. Sure, Openbravo for Retail now adapts itself to your device but picking the appropriate device for your users is as important as ever. We strongly recommend to spend some time investigating how Openbravo for Retail is going to be used. Is the device going to be used for client-side selling or as the main POS terminal? Does the device need to fit in a pocket or will it be attached to the wrist? What are the lighting conditions the device is going to be used in? I cannot stress enough the importance of doing contextual research. Observe and interview your users and try different devices before deploying any.

William P. Preble request for stamps, Portland, 1862Item 73719 info
Maine Historical Society
William P. Preble of Portland wrote to Shepley in August 1862 asking him to secure stamps for him from Nashville, Memphis, Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
Preble, a lawyer, was collecting stamps that various Southern cities issued in advance of the Confederacy selecting a stamp design.
The two had spoken about the stamps when Shepley visited recently in Portland.
Preble also wrote that he recently gone to New York for the body of his nephew, 1st Lt. Robert Allen, who was shot at Mechanicsville and died in New York.

Internet Sales Issue Gives Rep. Kristi Noem a Chance to Become a Stateswoman
Our representative Kristi Noem and her colleagues in the House can close a huge tax loophole. Will they see the fairness of the issue to small business and state governments?
The Senate passed, by a wide margin, a bill which allows states to collect taxes on sales from Internet purchases. If approved by the House and signed by the President, state governments could require retailers from out-of-state to collect sales tax when they sell products over in Internet, through radio and TV advertising, and from regular catalogs.
Currently, no such provision exists. Local retailers have found an odd bedfellow on this issue - state governments.
Local retailers complain they can't compete with the unfair price advantage from Internet and other off premise sales, because there is no tax charged. State governments complain they are losing out on millions of dollars of revenue due to the loophole in federal law.
Most states are having a huge problem balancing their budgets. Collecting sales tax from these now tax free sales, could help. The revenue would be sent to the state where the shopper resides. .
Current law says states can require retailers to collect sales taxes only if the merchant has a physical presence in the state.
Large retailers with stores all across the country such as Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Target collect sales taxes when they sell goods over the Internet. But online retailers such as eBay and Amazon don't have to collect sales taxes, except in states where they have offices or distribution centers.
Senators John Thune (R) and Tim Johnson (D) from South Dakota voted in favor of the bill. Now it is Representative Kristi Noem's opportunity to support fairness for the hundreds of small businesses trying to survive in South Dakota. As a former state legislator, she should understand the importance closing this loophole for struggling state governments.
Her statements so far have been encouraging. She said, it is a fairness issue. She thinks in-state businesses can compete well against online-only retailers if there is "a level playing field."
However, as this is being published she has not committed to a "yes" vote.
You would think closing such a large, unfair loophole would be a no-brainer. Unfortunately, several conservative House members regard it as a tax increase.
Grover Norquist, the anti-tax advocate, and other conservative groups are against closing the loophole, and many conservative Republicans are afraid of voting against their wishes.
Opponents of the fairness issue say it would put an expensive obligation on small businesses because they are not as equipped as national merchandisers to collect and remit sales taxes. (Surely, there is a computer program, or one can be created, to deal with this issue).
The version passed by the Senate is, in my opinion, entirely too generous to online sales companies. Businesses with less than $1 million in online sales would be exempt.
EBay, a huge online seller, and therefore a very interested and powerful, special interest group, wants to exempt businesses with up to $10 million in sales or fewer than 50 employees.
Brian Bieron, senior public policy adviser for Ebay, clearly wants the closing of this loophole to disappear, so they can continue to unfairly compete with small businesses.
"The contentious debate in the Senate shows that a lot more work needs to be done to get the Internet sales tax issue right, including ensuring that small businesses using the Internet are protected from new burdens that harm their ability to compete and grow."
Remember, Ebay, and others compete unfairly with small businesses across America. They have no interest in "leveling the playing field."
Will Kristi Noem stand up for South Dakota retailers, and her state government? Will she voice her support for this bill in committee, on the House floor, and in front of the media? Will she use her powers of persuasion to convince conservative Republicans that this in NOT a tax increase, but it IS closing a loophole in the tax code which unfairly benefits the out of state big guys, at the expense of the in-state small guys?
Will Kristi Noem become a "Stateswoman" or will she follow her conservative fellow Republicans and remain a "politician?"
