Chris and the Dickens is a 6-piece ska band from Vanceburg Kentucky. Their humble beginings were as a punk band, formed in 2005, they
strived to separate themselves from Emo bands that were blurring the lines between Emo-
-which they disapproved--and Punk. As a punk band they grew a dynamic hometown status. In
2006, after a flurry of shows in their own local high school, they invited regional ska
bands SofaPunch and Brian's Moving Out, the members had been ska fans previously, and
admired the work of the cincinnati ska scene. After the consecutive shows with out-of-
town bands, Chris and the Dickens were invited to shows in the midst of the Cincinnati Ska
Scene. Early in 2007, they transformed into a ska band, preferably 3rd or 4th wave. The band attracted attention and soon played Ska Stock 2007, from
there they grew connections to many bands from all over the Kentucky-Indiana-
Ohio Scene. Most of the members graduated high school in 2007, leaving home consistent
time to practice, nevertheless Chris and the Dickens put out thier first ska album, Working
on Existing. Their success is climbing, as they gain fan base from around the world,
becoming a true testament to DIY ethics and the abilities of myspace.com and the
rest of the internet. The height of thier careers was opening for The Toasters on
February 13th 2008. They now look for shows outside of thier usual venues, playing shows in
Louisville, Florence, and Lexington. They have single-handedly revived the scene in the tri-county area by bringing home bands from bigger scenes and inspiring new bands to pick up by creating competition, including BackDraft a band who recent became a regional finalist in the Bodog Music Battle of the Bands.They also were apart of the small surge of Punk scene in Portsmouth Ohio, which at one point fed Cincinnati, Louisville, other river cities with much of it's talent. Chris and The Dickens in a solo effort introduced ska into thier hometown and nieghboring Greenup County,Portsmouth, and Maysville/Mason County

Friendonomics is a term used by Forrester Research to describe social networking users who befriend a brand profile to become eligible for exclusive offers. The term friendonomics is also used by various marketing groups to refer to advertising campaigns that focus on building brand relationships, as opposed to producing immediate results.
Friendonomics the Game
Friendonomics is also an online economic simulation game, which allows members to trade "shares" of each other, much as if they would trade shares of publicly traded corporations. Friendonomics is unique in that it combines social networking with game play. Friendonomics is also unique in that it is the first utility that allows members to commoditize the relationships they have with their peers.

Unified SCC is a source control integration plugin for Microsoft Visual Studio and other MSSCCI-compatible programs, it provides capability to perform version control operations directly from inside the program, without need to use any external tools.
List of these operations includes:
* Getting new versions from the repository and sending modified versions back
* Reviewing file changes and history
* Renaming, moving, adding and deleting repository files automatically
* Auto-locking of files, which can't be edited concurrently
Currently, Unified SCC supports the following version control systems - Subversion (SVN), CVS; more integrations are under development.
Unified SCC can be used from any software supporting MSSCCI (Microsoft Source Code Control Interface). List of such software includes programs like Microsoft Visual Studio, Borland Delphi, Microsoft Visio, MatLab, 3D Studio Max and other programs (to check if your program supports this interface, check documentation of that program)

Massimo Angelini () (May 3, 1953 - May 5, 2007) was a world-wide known Italian physicist.
He attended the High School Andrea D’Oria, that specializes in arts subjects, when he was ten years old - very soon - but his great interest for science was already obvious. Many years later he would have justified this choice writing these words: “ I wasn’t able to draw, so I chose the only kind of school that didn’t have drafting as a compulsory subject.”
Youth and schooling
In 1968, after the leaving school exam, he started studying physics at the University of Genoa and he graduated only three years later with the thesis “How liquid-nitrogen can be used to show the passage of solar neutrinos”, in which he exposed his experimental results in the field of neutrinos detection.
His method, also used nowadays, opened the way to new horizons in particle physics. He discovered that to observe solar neutrinos it is sufficient to build a sealed transparent tin. After filling it with liquid-nitrogen (that can be easily found and bought in any ice-cream parlour), putting the tin in a dark place will allow observers to see sparkles caused by the shock between neutrinos and nitrogen.
Research
First Angelini's theorem
After that, he spent many years researching in the field of mathematics, coming to remarkable results, even though not always appreciated by other mathematicians. Very famous is the so-called “First Angelini’s Theorem” that adfirms: “Divide a circle in four parts and mark the point M in the middle of a radius; draw the perpendicular line linking this point to the circle. Marking this new point and drawing the parallel line to the initial radius passing from this point we find a new point P, that we have to connect to M. The line MP so drawn is as long as the radius”. This theorem, that can be demonstrated with notions of advanced mathematics (like Minkowsky’s and Chebycheff’s inequalities), changed modern maths profoundly. After this brilliant work, he was asked by the INFN (the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics) to apply himself to unsolved problems, like Grid computing. His help led to the achievements of Ian Foster, Carl Kesselman and Steve Tuecke.
Solar neutrinos detection
In 1989 he attempted again to realize a more complex machine to detect solar neutrinos and, thanks to the work of Massimo Lovati, a famous photographer of Genoa, realized a photographic reportage of the experiment. In their laboratory, placed in “Corso Europa”, they build a machinery that, some time later, the same Angelini declared as a failure. In fact results were inhibited by the bus 17th that passes by the street were the laboratory is placed.
School employment
In 2003 he became the headmaster of "Liceo Scientifico Gian Domenico Cassini", placed in Genoa.
His publications, about his work as headmaster, reached a great success; “A failure as Physicist but incomparable as headmaster” (an autobiography) and the remake of Machiavelli’s “The Prince” entitled “The Headmaster” are the most noteworthy.
