Frankly, if V/M and D/W and Patrick Chan and presumably most of the other medalists can all head out to Japan, I fail to say why V/T are so special that they should get a pass.

I'm not sure how they can get away with not going yet Plushenko got in trouble for missing worlds in 2010 when he was really hurt but thats between them and their federation.
I have no doubt it will be a sold out crowd in the arena but TV wise, I would think it would be better to have top skaters there. In 2009 many at worlds had no idea it was even going on but now they had plenty of notice and of who was even going to go. Only some skaters should would be in limbo.
I think the show that Plush was forbidden to do the last minute was Prague AOI or sth close to it, not RUssia
I m surprised Adelina got in the team, I didnt know she could anyway, but at this point she is a great choice, thats a slap for Polina K. though...
USA team is out?
It's a slap in the face of Bobrova / Soloviev, too. They are 6th in world standings and were 7th at Worlds. And they are Russian champions, and silver medallists at Euros two years running.
I&K were 5th at Worlds, but are 10th in world standings.
Does anyone know who the judges & tech panel are going to be for dance at the WTT?
For those who want to analyze what the WTT announcement says about the judging panel, see below. (I know that many have been debating the Worlds dance outcome - e.g., whether the absence of the US among judges and technical panel made any difference or not. But I don't know if anything here from the ISU is noteworthy ... my eyes are glazing over as I try to process what this means.)
The panel of Judges will in principle consist of 9 ISU Judges of different ISU Members in each discipline. Judges must have the qualification ISU Judge. Each participating Member may send 1 ISU Judge for Single & Pair Skating plus 1 ISU Judge for Ice Dance, total 2 Judges per participating Member. The 2 Judges must be able to cover all disciplines, i.e. Single Skating, Pair Skating and Ice Dance.
To complete the panels of 9 Judges, up to 8 additional ISU Judges (up to 4 additional Judges qualified to judge both Single & Pair Skating as well as up to 4 additional Judges for Ice Dance) will be invited from other and different ISU Members. These Additional needed Judges from Members not participating with Skaters in the ISU World Team Trophy will be selected by the ISU on the basis of the official ISU World Standings valid after the ISU World Figure Skating Championships 2012 (held at the end of March 2012), i.e. among at least the 4 ISU Member with the highest placed Singles Skaters/Pair Skating couple, Ice Dance couple regardless of the discipline, in the current World Standings subject to availability of the necessary qualified Judges.
The composition of the panel of Judges including seating order and random draw for each segment will be drawn on site.
I'm really surprised that Gachinski is going but not Tukt since I saw videos of Liza a few weeks ago and she looked pretty good while Gachinski is not doing well right now. And I'm REALLY surprised Sotnikova will go. I'm happy that she'll have another chance this year. I wonder why Sot is going instead of Liza... ISU didn't let her or Mishin decided to let her rest some more or Russia just decided to give Adelina another try?
Rather amazing, given its what-- 10 days away?
Today (Thursday) is the deadline for submitting the names of the team members to the ISU. So I assume that the USFSA knows who it will be, but they are not telling us yet.
I think they want to surprise us.
I wonder if it is not going to be Wagner and Zawadzki.
As per their twitter they are trying to meet up in California next week, a stop before Tokyo?
posted on Jeremy's Facebook....but no link to ladies/pairs/dance. It is going to be Jeremy and Adam:

Oops, something didn't work.
Insightful. I've been looking into the Globus toolkit and the OGSA spec for a while now, and although Microsoft are a sponser of the technologies, they don't seem to be in anyway vocal about Grid computing benefits, unlike IBM for example. This talk highlights
many of the benefits Grids hope to achieve...
I know Microsoft are pushing the service-oriented Business Framework, which deals with some grid-esque functionality, but is the Globus vision something Microsoft still subscribes to?
This is a quite interesting perspective to look at the present development and advancement in software with comparision to the development of civilization. History always reminds us of what we should look at for and what's ahead.
Even a computer scientist should know history, and reason to its parallels.

Pat, that is an awesome post.
As Developers, we have been quitely neglecting this issue out of self-interest.
The day of reckoning is coming, and our profession will forever change. I only hope that the change happens first in the USA, and that American developers lead the way.
Remember what happened to those poor people who got left behind in the technological revolution that actually began during the European Renaissance. They became colonies.
There is one issue I would like to raise: the growing shift from Applicative to Declarative programming.
As a business programmer, I would like to focus on turning Requirements (a declaration of what the users want) into a declarative programming language (a declaration of what the computer must do to satisfy the user).
I want business software (as with SQL) that allows me to specify the results I want. I want business software that then goes away and does it, reporting on any problems it encounters.
THere are an infinite number of ways to re-invent the wheel. I just need something that rolls properly.
Herein lies, I believe, the key to the problem of interchangeability.
Of course, I could just be drinking too much caffine and watching too much television. It wouldn't be the first time

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
July 17, 2013
While the opening of the 48th annual Pittsburgh Steelers Summer Training Camp at Saint Vincent College gets extensive media attention in newspapers, radio and television and attracts tens of thousands of fans to the campus, their first visit to Saint Vincent College in 1966 started quietly. A review of the Latrobe Bulletin archives revealed that the presence of Steelers at Saint Vincent in 1966 was secondary to reports about local baseball leagues and Arnold Palmer's appearance in the 48th annual PGA tournament. The first public mention of the Steelers coming to Latrobe appeared in a story by Sports Editor Steve Kittey on July 5, 1966: "It seems summer has just reached us, but already all the National Football League teams are about set to open their training camps. For our pride and joy in the NFL, Pittsburgh, the moment of truth is fast approaching for it and new coach Bill Austin. This Friday, Austin will hold an early week of workouts for 51 players, most of whom are rookies. Next week, the entire squad will gather under the auspices of Austin's watchful eye. Site of the training camp is the University of Rhode Island in Kingston, Rhode Island. The final two weeks of the Steelers' training camp will be held on the campus of Saint Vincent College." The next mention of the Steelers arriving at Saint Vincent College was not until August 12, 1966 when Mr. Kittey, who is still the editor in Latrobe, reported: "Just a reminder to die-hard Pittsburgh Steelers fans that Coach Bill Austin will bring his National Football League entry to the Latrobe district Aug. 29 through Sept. 7 when the Steelers will be training on the campus of Saint Vincent College. Currently, the Steelers are training at Rhode Island where they also trained last year. The Rev. Conall Pfiester, O.S.B., (treasurer and procurator at Saint Vincent) and Steelers owner Art Rooney, Sr. indicated the Steelers are considering using the Saint Vincent campus for pre-season training next year." On August 29, 1966, the Steelers arrived on campus and the Latrobe Bulletin reported: "The Steelers began practicing at Saint Vincent College this afternoon in their first workout since Saturday's 17-6 defeat at the hands of the Green Bay Packers. Can't help becoming more enthused about the chances of the Steelers making a respectable showing in the NFL season after Saturday's game. For the first time in the exhibition grind, Packer Coach Vince Lombardi went nearly full time with his first string lineup, but the Steelers refused to be overpowered. ... The team will be practicing all week at the Saint Vincent campus for those interested in watching the workouts. The sessions will be conducted in the open and all fans are welcome to attend." Latrobe Bulletin's August 30, 1966 article by Assistant Sports Editor Robert Osborne noted that the media were already being courted by the rising franchise: "The Pittsburgh Steelers officially opened drills at Saint Vincent College yesterday by hosting a press day which was fully attended by members of the press, radio and television of the Pittsburgh district. The 'new look' Steelers went through a light exercise drill which consisted of running plays against a mock defense for the benefit of the hundreds of spectators who lined the hills surrounding the practice field…". Training camps were visited by hundreds of fans in those days until the Super Steelers of the 1970s captured four Super Bowl Championships and drew thousands of fans for their annual pilgrimage to training camp. The Steelers camp is regularly recognized as being one of the most fan-friendly in the NFL and draws some of the league's largest daily crowds. Sports Illustrated's Peter King has labeled it "the most picturesque camp." The Steelers camp at Saint Vincent and the Vikings camp at Minnesota State University are the second oldest sites in the NFL. The oldest continuously operating camp is the Green Bay Packers camp at another Catholic college, St. Norbert, in DePere, Wisconsin, which started in 1958. The camp has continued at Saint Vincent under Head Coaches Bill Austin (1966-1968), Chuck Noll (1969-1991), Bill Cowher (1992-2006) and, since 2007, Mike Tomlin. Saint Vincent College is preparing to welcome the Steelers players and staff and to accommodate thousands of visitors for Training Camp XLVII as well as the news media from all over the world who will be following them. The players report on Friday, July 26 with the first open practice scheduled for Saturday, July 27 at 2:55 p.m. Prior to holding training camp at Saint Vincent, the Steelers practiced at Moore Field in Pittsburgh (1933-1937), St. Francis College (1938-1940), Hershey (1941, 1945-1946), Philadelphia (1943), Waukesha, Wisconsin (1944), Alliance College (1947-1951), St. Bonaventure College (1952-1957), California State Teachers College (1958-1960), Slippery Rock College (1961), West Liberty College, 1962-1963) and University of Rhode Island (1964-1966). It is noted on the Pittsburgh Steelers website that the team held some practices at Saint Vincent College on their way back to Pittsburgh in 1966. Although a brief encampment, Saint Vincent attributes it as the first Steeler summer training camp in Latrobe.

Lincoln is taking an interesting
strategy with its 2011 MKZ Hybrid. The vehicle, which is based on the
same platform as the more
plebeian Ford Fusion, will be priced at an aggressive $35,180
(including destination and delivery charges). What's most interesting
is that this is the exact same starting price for the standard MKZ
which is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine which produces 263 hp.
Lincoln's aggressive pricing on the MKZ
Hybrid undercuts Lexus'
HS 250h by a few hundred bucks (the HS 250h is priced from
$35,525 including destination and delivery charges). The MKZ Hybrid
also has the upper hand in the fuel economy department as well -- the
MKZ hybrid is rated at 41/36 (city/highway) versus 35/34 for the HS
Lincoln talks up the Lexus HS 250h
quite a bit in the press release and points out that the MKZ Hybrid
betters its Japanese competitor due to standard features like SYNC,
leather seating surfaces, genuine wood trim, power driver/passenger
seats, heated/cooled seats, and reverse sensing system.
"Lincoln is about delivering
luxury standard," stated John Felice, general manager for Ford
and Lincoln Marketing. "Customers are very enthusiastic about
the MKZ Hybrid and we think they will be even more excited to learn
they sacrifice nothing to be able to go green in style. We're
launching a world-class hybrid that beats all competitors, and at an
introductory price that is sure to draw the interest of new customers
to Lincoln."
It remains to be seen if luxury buyers
will flock to Lincoln showrooms instead of heading down to the Lexus
dealership. Lincoln definitely has a winner when it comes to features
and fuel economy (and some may even say styling as well), but Lexus'
brand name and reputation may still sway buyers to the less efficient
HS 250h.
quote: YOU may get 40+, but when comparing numbers, most people use EPA standards - cuz, well, they're a standard.
quote: IF you have a Civic HX - you get 30/38, not 40+. If you don't have the HX, you get even less than that.
quote: Maybe you're ready to move up from an 11 yo, 2 door car that a college kid would drive. Maybe you do a lot of city driving and would appreciate the minimum 11mpg more in the city. Or maybe that the Lincoln goes 0-60 in 7.5 seconds vs 10 seconds for the Honda Civic HX, while stacked with luxury and safety features. For some odd reason I think I'd rather drive or ride in the Lincoln.
quote: I have a DX and if I really wanted to I could get 43 from it.
quote: Why would I get a expensive hybrid that gets only 35? To show that I am somehow green?

Dallas is the third biggest city in Texas and home to many popular attractions. Nearby Fort Worth is quintessentially Texan, and is sometimes referred to as 'Cowtown', in recognition of its key role in the history of the American West. Book a flight to Dallas/Fort Worth airport with Qatar Airways and experience two of the most dynamic cities in the USA.
When you fly to Dallas/Fort Worth airport you'll be introduced to two vibrant cities with both ultra-modern and old-world districts.
There are enough attractions and entertainment here to ensure that your trip to Dallas is always full of interest. Pop into the Dallas World Aquarium, which is also a split-level zoo, and stroll around the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. The Meadows Museum of Art has a huge collection of Spanish Art, whilst the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza is dedicated to the Kennedy assassination. The recently opened George W. Bush Presidential Center houses the presidential library and museum.
On your trip to Dallas be sure to also visit the huge new Perot Museum of Nature and Science complex and Dallas Zoo in the south of the city.
Tourist attractions in Fort Worth
If you really want to understand why Fort Worth has such a prominent place in the history of the American cowboy, head over to the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame. This is a fascinating look at the role played by both men and women in the cowboy culture that is so intrinsically linked with this part of the USA.
But a trip to Fort Worth isn't just about cowboys, and the city's Museum of Science and History brings visitors bang up to date, charting Fort Worth's part in scientific development in the 20th and 21st centuries. Other attractions in Fort Worth to look out for are the Botanical Gardens, Fort Worth Zoo, and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, where you can watch how the country's paper currency is created from start to finish.
Dallas is well-known for its world-famous barbeque and Tex-Mex cuisine. There's a heavy concentration of good restaurants in the Beltline Road area and also along McKinney Avenue and Greenville Avenue. For local eateries and the bigger chains, head for the West End.
Eating in Fort Worth
The most common dish you'll come across in Fort Worth is, of course, steak. This is, after all, the heart of the West, and cattle still play a huge part in the economy of the state of Texas. That translates into a wealth of traditional American eateries in Fort Worth, from pile-em-high steak houses through to more refined dining. However, there are a few other local delicacies that it's worth hunting down, including an interesting 'frozen custard' twist on the classic ice cream sundae, and authentic 'Tex-Mex' food (food with a distinctly Mexican slant).
Texas is the home of old-fashioned 'Southern Hospitality'. This manifests itself in such things as children addressing their elders as 'Sir' or 'Ma'am' and men tipping a hat to women. Texans also use 'please' and 'thank you' a great deal. Opening doors for others goes down well too, and shaking hands is the normal form of greeting.
Texans use 'Mr' and 'Ms' quite a lot as forms of address, so they're quite conservative and the best way to blend in is to observe such niceties as these when you travel to Dallas and Fort Worth.
Most flights to Dallas and Fort Worth arrive at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW).
Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. So before you fly to Dallas please check the visa and passport requirements.

North Dakota no threat to Texas' oil crown…for now
For today's economic snapshot about the Barnett Shale, I also talked to Barry Smitherman, chairman of the Railroad Commission of Texas, which regulates the state's oil and gas industry.
North Dakota has been making lots of news lately, overtaking Alaska as the No. 2 oil producer in the nation behind Texas.
I asked Smitherman if North Dakota could ever become No. 1?
"I think we retain our leadership for some time to come," Smitherman said.
He pointed out that oil production in Texas has roughly doubled in the past 7 years or so and he foresees a continuation of that trend.
"I think our numbers are going to increase dramatically," he said.
In November, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration,Texas produced about 2.1 million barrels a day and North Dakota produced about 730,000.
Over the weekend, The New York Times Magazine had an interesting story about the North Dakota oil boom, calling it "The Luckiest Place on Earth." The story said the Bakken field near Williston contains some of the longest horizontal wells – three miles – in the world.

WORKOUT ANYTIME is looking to expand in the Mount Pleasant area. WORKOUT ANYTIME, a fitness club that is open 24 hours a day, recently opened up locations in Easley, Sumter and Anderson. They are currently scouting for locations for clubs and seeking prospective franchisees to open four clubs in Mount Pleasant over the next two years.
"Mount Pleasant is the perfect fit for our unique 24-hour fitness model," said Vice-President of Development Randy Trotter. "We're excited about the opportunities to expand our presence in the area and bring the Mount Pleasant community an affordable club where they can work out on their schedule."
WORKOUT ANYTIME has been enjoying a great partnership with the state of South Carolina. The recently opened Sumter location shattered membership records in the system, signing up more than 600 members from the community in less than a month.
Founded by fitness veterans John Quattrocchi and Steve Strickland, the company was formed to provide members with first-class fitness facilities at the lowest cost possible, while delivering a profitable and affordable business model to franchisees.
WORKOUT ANYTIME has 48 clubs open across the United States, with many more in development. Those interested in franchise opportunities can learn more at http://workoutanytime.com/franchising/own-a-club.

The newsgroup comp.sys.sun.announce is for the posting of announcements that
would be of interest to the entire world community of Sun users and potential
users. The intent is that every Usenet reader in the world who is interested
in Sun systems should be able to subscribe to comp.sys.sun.announce without
being overwhelmed by volume. Postings should be primarily relevant to Sun
systems or software.
Content is restricted to announcements only. Discussions and questions are
not appropriate material. If you are announcing a meeting or an event for an
organization that is not well-known, please feel free to include a short
statement of the organization's history and purpose as a part of the
announcement posting. Please do not send us background material as separate
postings; it will be sent back to you.
In the interest of minimizing the turnaround time between receipt of a
submission and when it is approved and posting, we are doing only the bare
minimum of editing. This means that we will not be rewriting header lines,
even if the content does not appear to accurately describe the submission.
Please direct comments about such matters to the submitters and not to the
Due to the load of our other activities, it can take up to two weeks to
process submissions to comp.sys.sun.announce. Please put the word 'timely'
at the beginning of your Subject line if your posting describes an event and
may expire if it takes the full two weeks to turn around.
Per the official charter, the following are appropriate postings:
Announcements of events and new products that are primarily specific to
Sun users and owners. Specifically includes commercial material as
long as it meets the guidelines for this group and comp.newprod, see
attached comp.newprod guidelines. Cross-postings will be accepted if
and only if they are relevant to users of Sun systems. For-sale ads
will not be accepted.
The moderators are:
firstname.lastname@example.com (Scott Hazen Mueller), primary
firstname.lastname@example.com (Dave Sill), backup
The submission address is:
The comp.newprod guidelines are attached for reference:
The following guidelines should give you a good idea of what we look
for when reviewing submissions. The rationale for these guidelines
was discussed previously in this document.
1. The submission must be an announcement of a new product or
service. The product must be computer-related, and it must be of
potential interest to a large number of Usenet readers. The
message must be of lasting value, thus we do not accept trade show
announcements, special pricing offers, etc. Commercial messages
other than new product announcements are not appropriate for this
2. Announcements should *briefly* describe the product, requirements
(e.g. supported platforms), availability, and pricing. It should
only take a couple of screenfuls to convey this information. If
your description is longer than that, then you've either got too
much detail or too much fluff. All you should do here is summarize.
Anybody who is interested will contact you for the additional
information. Similarly, do not include lengthy product matrices
or order forms; ask interested people to write to you for a copy.
The ideal length is on the order of 60 lines (excluding headers).
If your message is much longer, it needs tighter editing. (Please
note, excessive length is the most common reason for rejecting
3. The announcement must be informative. It must contain a brief
technical description of the product or service, subject to the
length constraints just mentioned. This newsgroup is NOT a place
for advertisements! It is a place for factual product info.
4. The product must be available to all Usenet users throughout
North America, if not the world. Products with regional availability
should be announced in regional newsgroups, not comp.newprod.
5. All announcements must contain the manufacturer's name and a
contact for additional information. This should include a name,
telephone number, postal address, and email address. Americans,
please remember that your 1-800 telephone number might not work
for people outside the U.S.
6. The announcement must be from a representative either employed
by or designated by the product's manufacturer. We do not accept
announcements from distributors or resellers for products in mass
7. Leave out the quotations from your company executives and ecstatic
customers. If there is useful info in that quote, it may be
provided more concisely and compellingly as a statement of fact.
Moreover, we don't need to know about your corporate history,
customer list, or distribution methods. Please avoid the superlatives
and superfluous hype. Just the (technical) facts, please. These
violations are the second most common reason (after message length)
for returning submissions.
8. Note that a typical press release does NOT meet the above
guidelines. They tend to be either too long or too heavy on the
hype. We aren't the press. We don't want to edit (or spindle or
fold or mutilate) your announcements as the press might. We simply
want to publish them. You need to do the editing.
9. Your article must have a suitable Subject, not something like
`submission for comp.newprod'. Do not use all UPPER CASE or
superfluous !!!punctuation marks!!! in your subject (or messages).
Putting phrases like `new product announcement' in your subject
is dumb. If it wasn't it wouldn't be in this newsgroup! Select
your subject with care; a person is going to decide whether or
not to read your announcement based upon those six short words.
10. We almost never accept articles that are cross-posted to multiple
newsgroups or have been posted to other newsgroups. By definition,
if a message is appropriate for comp.newprod then it is NOT
appropriate for most other Usenet groups. One exception: some
`announce' groups accept product announcements, and we will cross-post
there if its moderator says OK.
11. We do not accept articles with a limited `Distribution'. If you
have availability restrictions then do mention them in the
announcement, but the announcement must be submitted for distribution
throughout all of Usenet.
12. If the contact person for additional information is not the person
who submitted the message, then put a `Reply-To' header in the
message. Do NOT try to redirect email to somebody else by saying
`send email to ...' in your announcement. People won't. They
will just hit the `r' key and the message will go back to you.
If you do not know how to set a `Reply-To', ask for help.
13. We use a standard keywording system for all comp.newprod messages.
We require a `Keywords' header on your message. The format is
`Keywords: company name; product name; keyword, keyword, keyword ...'.
We welcome (plead for!) your suggestions on keywords. If the
product is esoteric or outside our areas of expertise, we might end
up picking crummy keywords.
14. Your message must be properly formatted, avoiding long lines
that wrap around a typical terminal screen and strange line breaks.
We suggest that you break your lines at 78 columns or less.
Whitespace is your friend (within reason). Carefully spell check
and proofread your submissions; nothing screams `unprofessional'
louder than poorly crafted prose. Please go easy on the Cap-Shift
key. Do NOT right-justify your text; leave `ragged right margins.'
We are not impressed that you can construct your company logo out
of Xs and /s. `ASCII art' and gratuitous typesetting effects are
discouraged. A double pox on people who use overly long signatures.
15. If you fear the headers of your message might get mangled in
transit, feel free to note correct header information at the very
top of your message. Clarifying comments addressed to the moderator
also may be placed at the top of your message. If, while you are
at it, you'd like to suggest some keywords for your message, that
would be great. We will cleanup the headers and remove these
comments prior to posting.

Utilities Superintendent Don Weingart said the water department is working to control a taste problem which recently resurfaced due to blue-green algae, but it will take a little bit of time.
"We would like to keep it under control. We drink the same water as everybody else," he said.
Weingart said there was a problem with the algae five to six weeks ago, resulting in 15 to 20 calls from customers complaining about the taste of their drinking water. The department received a couple more calls this week.
Salem's water comes from surface water drawn from Cold Run Creek, Salem East Cold Run Reservoir, Spring Valley Reservoir and from three ground water wells. He explained that high sunlight and low rain levels cause blue-green algae to grow naturally.
The department uses potassium permanganate, a chemical oxidizing agent, to control taste and odors in drinking water, but with the increased drought conditions, the algae grew and the chemical oxidizes any organics it comes into contact with, in this case breaking open the cells of the algae and causing a release of compounds with an earthy smell and musty taste.
Weingart said it can be "very obnoxious" and that some people are more sensitive to the taste, noting that not all people can detect it.
They've been using activated carbon in an effort to control the taste and now are waiting on a shipment of a more active carbon that they can use to combat the problem.
He said the department had not had the problem for quite some time, but it hit this year.

CHESTER-The gowns that will be available for sale next Saturday at Chester First United Methodist Church are about as beautiful as anonymous can be.
Although gently used, the formal dresses featured at the "Gowns Galore" charity fundraiser look like new. The tags have only the size and the price-but not the name of the previous owner or her school.
"Gowns Galore" organizers know that some girls would not want to wear a dress from another school. "It's a girl thing," said Sherry Emery, who began "Gowns Galore" five years ago. "We know whose dress it is, but they don't."

Emery, a retired teacher, said the idea of selling used dresses and using the proceeds for charity had been in the back of her mind for a while. The first year for "Gowns Galore" had three racks of dresses. This year, there are 14 racks-with dresses ranging in size from 0 to 28 and ranging in price from $5 to $300.
On Saturday, mothers and daughters brought in gowns of all styles, colors and sizes. Dresses also will be collected at the church from 6-8 p.m. Monday. From 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Nov. 10, those dresses will be available for sale in the church basement. Only cash will be accepted.
"It gives the girl a chance to get a dress at a reasonable price. The dresses are beautiful. Nobody would know it's a used dress," Emery said. "And it helps people in need."
"Gowns Galore" is a mission project of First United Methodist Church, 240 Carolina Ave., Chester. Girls who bring in their dresses are charged a flat fee of $5. That money is donated to the Chester-Newell F.I.S.H. Foundation. Last year, "Gowns Galore" raised $2,000 for F.I.S.H. from 400 dresses.
Dress donors set their own price and collect the money if the dress sells. If the dress does not sell, the owner has the option to take it back or donate it to the church, Emery said.
Most of the dresses at "Gowns Galore" are prom dresses, but many also are appropriate for adult women for a variety of occasions, she said. Both long and short, they range in style from mermaid to princess to fit-and-flare.
Deanna Beardmore, of Greene Township, Pa., brought in three dresses on Saturday that her daughter had worn to three proms. "I paid too much money for them," she said.
Beardmore priced the dresses at less than half price, she said. "I think it's wonderful. They're not in your closet, and it gives everyone an opportunity," she said. "The gowns are nice-it's not like you're skimping on quality."
"Gowns Galore" gets dresses from school districts in Wellsville, East Liverpool, Weirton, Toronto and beyond, Emery said. Organizers hold the sale in the fall to capitalize on girls' shopping habits.
"All the girls like to shop now for their dresses for the spring," Emery said, noting that gowns for spring events usually go on sale in stores in December.
On Monday, many of the dresses will be available for viewing on the "Gowns Galore" Facebook page. Emery said it's fun to watch the girls and women try on dresses at the sale and walk away with something they like.
"We 'ooh' and 'aah' over all of them," she said.

quote: The theory of Evolution has never been upgraded to a Law because it has never met the requirements, nor will it ever meet the requirements.
quote: It isn't even a very good theory, it is actually a very poor theory because one of the main traits of a good theory is being able to make predictions, and especially predict important discoveries, prior to proof of that discovery. Darwin didn't predict DNA, nor, as far as I know, did any of his disciples.
quote: In fact, we have people like Haeckel who fabricated evidence to try and prove the theory of Evolution was true. In 1976 I went took my science book to the school library and compared Haeckel's drawings to the photographs in the Encyclopedia Britannica and the fabrication was plainly evident! If a theory is credible, then why do you need to fabricate evidence?

quote: Kindly note that a theory is stronger than a law.
quote: In fact, if a theory is proven false in some circumstances it will be downgraded to a law for the circumstances in which it is proven false.
quote: The reason for the stronger statements with predictive power being labelled theories is because science is obsessed with being correct.

I suppose liberal politicians have to operate by the philosophy that if you want to make an omelet, you have to break a few eggs.
But 15.8 million of them? That's a lot of broken eggs - even through the White House spin masters don't want you to look at it that way.
During the past few weeks, hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of Americans have been notified that they are being dropped from the health insurance coverages they have now. Some may remember President Barack Obama's promises, made over and over again, that if you like the insurance you have, Obamacare will let you keep it.
He lied.
Now, he and his minions are attempting to minimize the outrage. Why, the number of people involved is only "5 percent of the population," White House spokesman Jay Carney said the other day.
Five percent of the country's population is 15.8 million people. It's substantially more than the populations of West Virginia and Ohio combined.
Hey, if you're going to make an omelet ...
But wait a minute. It's OK to hurt 5 percent of the population to (allegedly) benefit the rest, Obama and his fellow liberals want us to believe.
So why don't they believe it?
There are some folks whose eggs the president went out of his way to avoid hurting as he prepared his omelets. More than 1,200 unions, organizations and companies have received individual, one-year waivers from compliance with Obamacare. They represent somewhere around 4 million people - fewer than 2 percent of the population.
Illegal immigrants get something of a break. They are not required to comply with the "individual mandate" - buy government-approved insurance or pay hefty penalty taxes for failing to do so.
Meanwhile, illegal immigrants showing up at the vast majority of hospitals will receive medical care, even if they can't pay for it.
There are about 11.7 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. They're about 3.7 percent of the population.
But there's a far, far smaller subgroup of Americans who are receiving special consideration under Obamacare - members of Congress and their staffs. They are allowed to keep the very good health insurance the government (taxpayers, in other words) provides.
One estimate is that Congress and all of its various aides, staff members and other employees totals about 30,500 people. That's around one one-hundredth of 1 percent.
So while the White House tells us we shouldn't be concerned about a measly 5 percent of the population, it has safeguarded groups containing far lower percentages. I guess it depends on whose egg is being broken.
Give Obama and his Environmental Protection Agency credit for one thing - knowing how to stack the deck in their favor.
EPA officials are in the midst of a "listening" tour seeking public opinion on new rules intended to shut down hundreds more coal-fired power plants. That will drive electricity bills up for tens of millions of Americans.
But EPA officials planned their itinerary carefully, in the hope of hearing only comments in favor of their plan. That way, they could go back to Washington and announce Americans agree with the proposal.
All of the 11 sites chosen for the "listening sessions" are in places where relatively little electricity is generated at coal-fired power plants. None of the 10 states with the highest percentages of power from coal was chosen.
Every hearing is in a big city (Lenexa, Kan., is a suburb of Kansas City). Not one is in a rural area. In addition to Lenexa, the other cities are Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, D.C.
And to be certain the crowds are friendly, the EPA chose cities where the 2012 vote was overwhelmingly in favor of Obama. In nine of the 11 cities chosen, two-thirds or more of the voters backed Obama in 2012.

A letter in the Nov. 25 Tomahawk Leader
To the Editor:
Friday, Nov. 7 we saw a young man stand in court being handed down his sentence for the crimes he admitted to. That person was my son, Jacob Baars.
Several months ago an apology was put in our local paper to the victims and the community. At the time of writing, it was not court ordered. It was truly written and spoken from Jacob's heart.
The public has heard nothing but the negative comments about Jacob. Now it's time for the positive.
How many people ever knew or really talked with him? Before graduation of 2005 from our local high school, his step-father and I took Jacob to Traverse City, Mich., where he was accepted to the Great Lakes Maritime Academy. He was honored. After many months he made terrible decisions, along with six others and took a wrong turn in his life. We have asked God why?
As stated at his sentencing, Jacob was a threat to society. If so, why was he able to be out on bond for this last year and half? Working with the public, he held down two jobs (at times 14 hours a day), abided by his curfew set by the court system, and was paying on his attorneys' fees. His plea-agreement was overruled.
Our family never expected Jacob to get off "Scott free." We expected he would do some time in prison. We ask where is the justice for someone that came forward, never ran off, showed cooperation and was honest with his actions to authorities. As parents we cooperated 100 percent, opened up our home for investigators to tap our phone and we turned our own son in for the horse shooting. Due to this cooperation on our behalf the other perpetrators who fled out of state were arrested. This information was provided to authorities on a silver platter.
A drunk driver can kill someone and get six years – again we ask where is the justice?
Alcohol, drugs, peer pressure are a powerful force. Public comments are expected, but never say never, it won't happen to you. You can come from the best of families and your life can change drastically. We all take the gift of freedom for granted until time behind bars takes it from us.
Each and every one of us need to take an inventory of our own lives and ask God how many crosses do I have to bear?
Forgiveness is a part of healing. It will be a new beginning for Jacob, and he will walk in the light again and not the dark. Jacob is still my son and we love him very much.
Remember, Jacob, you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
Debbie, Sandy, Kurt and David – I love you.

PITTSBURGH - Plaxico Burress is back with the Pittsburgh Steelers, now older, wiser and a convicted felon.
Burress spent 20 months in prison on a weapons charge, the result of his own stupidity and a prosecutor intent on making an example of a high-profile offender. Burress had a loaded pistol tucked in his pants when he and a teammate entered a New York night club in 2008.
The pistol slipped and discharged, leaving Burress with a superficial wound and a Barney Fife moment that probably cost him at least $10 million in lost salary. He thought it was cool to act like a gangsta and took it a step too far. Dumb choice, huge penalty.
There was consternation in some circles that the Steelers would sign a player with a rap sheet. This plays into the belief that the Steelers don't tolerate players who behave badly. That's a myth.
In the early 1960s, the Steelers employed quarterback Bobby Layne, a celebrated rowdy renowned for his habit of taking rookies on drinking expeditions that left them staggering. Around the same time, the career of defensive lineman Gene "Big Daddy" Lipscomb ended with a fatal heroin overdose.
Ernie (Fats) Holmes, feeling the stress of financial and marital problems on a long drive from Texas, had the delusional belief that a police helicopter was after him. He pulled his car off the road and started firing at the helicopter. The Steelers' intervention helped him get a sentence of probation, and he played for five seasons.
The Steelers' 1970s championship teams had admitted steroids users. Joe Gilliam, who once started ahead of Terry Bradshaw, lost his career to drug abuse. Tim Worley, the team's No. 1 draft pick in 1989, never reached his potential because of drug issues. The Steelers rationalized all sorts of anti-social behavior by Greg Lloyd as long as he was a force on their defense.
Burress is aboard as a stopgap and he's no threat to the team's moral standing. He was more knucklehead than criminal, and he paid a steep price for that terrible judgment.

Did you pick up a legal thriller during the past year?
A work of history about Lincoln or World War II?
A title in the "Hunger Games" series?
If so, you're hardly alone.
Readers in Erie County checked out lots of books of that sort – and requested them, online and in person at local libraries – last year, according to an annual reading report released by the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library.
Thrillers, historical nonfiction titles, and popular series books for young adults were at the top of the list among borrowers last year, library officials said.
And, two books recommended last year by The Buffalo News Book Club – "Unbroken" by Laura Hillenbrand and "In the Garden of Beasts" by Erik Larson – reached two of the top spots on the library's most-read adult nonfiction books list for 2012.
"This list tells me we like history. It tells me we like certain types of history. The 'greatest generation' is certainly very much at the forefront of our minds," said Mary Jean Jakubowski, director of the library system.
The Buffalo News Book Club selections are made on a monthly basis and written about on the first Tuesday of each month in the newspaper. The Book Club titles span fiction and nonfiction, as well as classic works of literature and even young adult titles.
Those Book Club selections drive a lot of interest in the reading choices of people in Western New York, Jakubowski said.
"Absolutely," Jakubowski said of the newspaper's selections determining patrons' choices. "We have people that come in with lists of what is recommended by Book Club. People who might not have been reading in the past are saying, 'Hey, this is really neat.' "
Jakubowski said her own favorite fiction read of last year was "The Weird Sisters," a title that features a librarian as a main character.
"When I was listening to it, I was giggling out loud," said Jakubowski, who listened to an audio version of the book.
Her favorite nonfiction read of the year was "The Yellow Birds," by a veteran who served in Iraq.
"It's not an easy book," Jakubowski said. "It's something we don't necessarily hear so much about. It really hit home, to a better understanding of what families and friends go through when their loved ones are in conflict."
The most popular titles in 2012 in Erie County libraries, according to library officials, included the following books:
Top adult fiction titles:
1.) "The Litigators," by John Grisham
2.) "Private Games," by James Patterson and Mark Sullivan
3.) "The Innocent," by David Baldacci
Top adult non-fiction titles:
1.) "Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption," by Laura Hillenbrand
2.) "Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination that Changed America Forever," by Bill O'Reilly
3.) "In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin," by Erik Larson
Top titles for young adults and teens:
1.) "Catching Fire," a title in the "Hunger Games" series, by Suzanne Collins
2.) "Mockingjay," a title in the "Hunger Games" series, by Suanne Collins
3.) "The Hunger Games," by Suzanne Collins
Top fiction titles for children:
1.) "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days," by Jeff Kinney
2.) "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever," by Jeff Kinney
3.) "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw," by Jeff Kinney
Among e-books, the most-read fiction title last year was "Explosive Eighteen," by Janet Evanovitch, while the most-read nonfiction title was the memoir "Too Close to the Falls," by Catherine McClure Gildiner.
Among most-requested items by library patrons were two of the titles in the "Fifty Shades of Grey" series by E.L. James.
"That is a new book," said Jakubowski, of the James titles. "It doesn't mean it circulated the most – it means it was requested the most times."
"The James books were more of a fad-driven thing," she said. "They are not circulating at the level of the other things."
. . .
To get readers in the region off to an exciting start for 2013 reading, library officials also announced this week that they will be holding a winter reading contest – open to adults, children, and teenagers – starting later this month.
The contest will begin Jan. 15 and run through March 15, library officials said.
Prizes for adults will include a Kindle Fire reading device, officials said.
The contest will also be open to schools, in a separate category.
To find out more about the winter reading contest, or to enter, see the website of the public library system, at www.buffalolib.org.

Football Alum Keith Wenning in Camp with Baltimore
Owings Mills, Md. – The city of Baltimore is not New York City when it comes to entertainment and nightlife. But Charm City has a number of popular spots in the Inner Harbor, with the notable National Aquarium, the long lines at the Cheesecake Factory and other eateries and the nearby home of baseball's Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards.
But Keith Wenning has had no time for any of these attractions since he was drafted May 10th in the sixth round by the National Football League's Baltimore Ravens, whose M&T Bank Stadium home is also in the Inner Harbor.
"It's football all day," said former Ball State standout quarterback Wenning, wearing a red No. 10 jersey after a recent Organized Team Activity (OTA) in suburban Baltimore. "Our days are long. We have not had a chance to see what Baltimore is all about. Any free time I have is with the playbook,"
Wenning has been staying with other rookies at a nearby hotel during OTAs and a shuttle leaves at 5:30 a.m. for the 15-minute drive to the Ravens' headquarters, with the official address of 1 Winning Drive for an organization that has won two Super Bowl titles.
When the day is done Wenning has supper at the hotel and then spends about two hours going through the team playbook before heading to bed at around 9 p.m.
"It is a dream come true," said Wenning, listed at 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds. "This is what you dream about as a kid. Once you get the opportunity you have to make the most of it. You have to grind through a lot of things. That is the sacrifice you have to make."
Wenning was a 2013 Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award Finalist – named for the former Baltimore Colts' legend - and was a 2013 All-Mid American Conference Second team member. He threw for 4148 yards and 35 touchdowns last season.
"My four years at Ball State were unbelievable," he says. "Going back to my freshman year and playing right away and learning a new system, it was a great four years. It made me grow up fast. It made me learn the game faster than some guys who redshirt. I did well in school; in my mind (the focus) was football and school. Those were the two things I worked on. I believe every year we got better. I am satisfied how we did as a program at Ball State."
Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh, who was born in Ohio and played at Miami University, told reporters he was impressed with Wenning and that offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak looked forward to working with him.
"Two things - really nice touch, and also, he has a strong arm," Harbaugh said. "He is a big, strong guy. Those guys are all under siege right now from Coach Kubiak and [quarterbacks] Coach [Rick] Dennison to have their eyes and their feet where they're supposed to be, and he is no different. But he has talent."
"I think I have shown some good signs of potential," Wenning says. "But at the same time I have to be more consistent. It is about keeping that steady medium. It is still relatively early. I am trying to grow and slow the game down."
Wenning has also been able to pick the brains of quarterback Joe Flacco, who led the Ravens to a title in the Super Bowl following the 2012 season.
"He has been good," Wenning says of Flacco. "He is an exceptional player and a good person. He is someone I idolize and try to emulate on the field. I try to pick his brain. I feel our relationship will get closer and closer. I think the best advice I hear from a couple of guys is act like a professional."
The former Cardinal play-caller is aiming to become the second pro athlete from the tiny town of Coldwater, Ohio. The other one is Craig Stammen, a veteran reliever for the Washington Nationals who played in college at Dayton. Stammen, standing in the Washington clubhouse June 3, remembers when the Ball State product threw a key touchdown as a high school junior in the state playoffs.
Wenning became the starting quarterback as a senior and Ball State was the only Division I program that offered him the opportunity to play quarterback at that level.
And thus he feels he has more to prove since he is not from a football powerhouse such as Ohio State or Michigan?
"I think a little bit. I kind of have a chip on my shoulder when it comes to that. When we put on a Ravens jersey or helmet we are on the same playing field," he notes.
Wenning says he has kept in touch with Willie Snead (106 catches in 2013), his wide receiver at Ball State who was picked up as a free agent by the Cleveland Browns. He has also followed defensive end Jonathan Newsome, who was drafted in the fifth round by the Indianapolis Colts. Wenning and Newsome were the first Ball State players drafted since 2009. In his spare time Wenning tries to stay in contact with Ball State head coach Pete Lembo and offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Joey Lynch.
Before training camp begins in late July, Wenning will attend a symposium for NFL rookies and then work out in San Diego at Fitness Quest 10. He worked out there last year at a facility where NFL quarterbacks Drew Brees, Carson Palmer, Blaine Gabbert and Alex Smith, among others, have trained. Wenning hopes to spend time at Ball State and in his hometown in Ohio before training camp begins for the Ravens.
What has been the biggest surprise of the pro game? "I don't know it would be a surprise, but adjusting to the playbook and the terminology," he says. "It is something I try to pick up and learn. It keeps piling up. I have to focus on that day in and day out. I try to make the game slow down."
And because of that sightseeing in the Inner Harbor will have to wait.

Further readings for the Pentax smc DA 35mm F2.4 AL
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
If you've outgrown the standard kit lens for your new entry-level DSLR, a second lens can add a new dimension to your photography. With a plethora of options available, picking out the right one can be a bit of a minefield, but our best lenses review is here to help. We round up here the big talking points on the 39 lenses that our technicians have tested on the Pentax K-S1.
Announced in June this year, the K-50 is an accessibly priced environmentally sealed DSLR featuring a built-in stabilization and a 16-MPix APS-C size CMOS sensor. As Pentax has yet to introduce a full-frame DSLR to the range the K-50, like others before it, can benefit from one of the largest lens ranges designed for the smaller APS-C sensor. The result is an appealing and unsurpassed range of compact and highly portable primes and zooms. We have analyzed the optical properties of 28 different models in total from Pentax as well as third-party makers, mounted on the new K-50, to help you in your selection either when buying new for the first time or when simply choosing which lens to take with you on your next shoot.
Mounted on a camera with an APS-C sensor, a 35mm lens corresponds to a 53.5mm mounted on a 24*36mm film camera. This focal is very popular and it's designed to excel on portrait and landscape. We could say this 35mm might be the only lens you need for your Pentax.

Comments about Yoga Wildlife:
My daughter received a pair of the Sanuk Wildlife sandals as a gift last year and she would not wear anything else. I just recently bought her another pair and again she continues to wear them daily. Her friend loved my daughter's shoes so much, now she bought a pair. For these girls it is Sanuk sandals or barefoot.

Comments about Yoga Wildlife:
My 5 year old daughter is very picky about her shoes, and would always prefer an flip flop over anything else. I spent tons of money on different sandals, and finally got her Sanuk flip flop a day before leaving Disney (the rest of the family wore other Sanuk products). She wore them at Disney and Legoland for long periods of walking and never complained about her feet.

The Sex Tape star graces the magazine's August issue, on newsstands July 8, and proves she's happier – and hotter – than ever at 41.
"I love it," Diaz says of being in her 40s. "So much s– just falls away. Fear, mostly. It's the best age. That's when a woman knows how to work things, or she doesn't care about that anymore. You just stop being afraid. You don't worry about what men think. You just don't worry that time registers anything awful."
Though Diaz has been linked to Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden (a pal told PEOPLE she's "really happy" with the rocker), the actress doesn't see kids in her future.
"It's so much more work to have children," she tells Esquire. "To have lives besides your own that you are responsible for – I didn't take that on. ... A baby – that's all day, every day for 18 years. Not having a baby might really make things easier, but that doesn't make it an easy decision. I like protecting people, but I was never drawn to being a mother.
Courtesy Esquire
Diaz has also learned not to care about baring it all: She strips down in Sex Tape, marking the first time she's been completely nude on screen.
"It's a first for me. But Jason [Segel, her costar] gets naked, too. It's just part of the role. So I did it. I mean, you see everything."

so pretty!
By EcoMom
from Houston, TX
I bought the purple one on clearance - great price for a letter-size notebook! I love the color, reversibility, and slim profile. However, there there was a strong plastic-y smell which has diminished some with time. My biggest complaint/thing I would like changed is the corners. It seems that all of the non-leather notebooks have sharp corners which do not wear well over time. While the sturdier material of this notebook probably means it will wear better (I have a bookcloth notebook whose corners now have white under material visible through the worn cloth), I transport my notebook to and from work daily. I think it is likely that the pointy corners will either wear or get slightly bent whereas the rounded leather corners seem to withstand the wear and tear better. I would love to see a non-leather notebook with rounded corners...
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

By CF0710
from Philadelphia, PA
I am so pleased with this purchase. The light purple cover is really quite lovely, and it adds a nice pop of color to my work materials. the book itself is firm enough to hold the papers in without any bending. I'm using a thin women's stretchy headband in place of the more expensive book bands, which helps hold the notebook tight in my bag. The paper quality, of course, is top notch.
foldover notebook
By kacahelugr
from Cedarville, OH
I love each product I have ever purchase from Levenger. I especially love this fold over notebook b/c of the outside. It is much easier to refill with than the ones I have had with the cardboard backing. I purchased in both covers for two different projects.
By ETPR
from San Juan, Puerto Rico
I have been using Circa fior a long time now- this aquisition is added value . The Orange Color is vibrant, yet refined. Love it.
Inside out Foldover Notebook

I purchased this item as a gift for a friend who just loves it.
It arrived early!
By JenniferS
from Virginia Beach, VA
I was to begin a new position last Thursday so I ordered a letter sized purple foldover notebook and matching 1.5 inch disks - the email said they'd arrive late Thursday - They actually arrived Wednesday! My only gripe? The next week they had free shipping!
Love, Love, Love
By JoeyPhD
from Springfield, MA
I love Levenger products. They are a bit on the costly side so when I can find something on sale it is a go. This notebook is excellent for research and note taking. Couldn't ask for better.
Great Product
By Townewoman
from Undisclosed
This excellent buy to help me stay organized. I love the color and the fact I can buy refills and do not have to purchase another journal.
By Cbh1978
from Erie, Pa
Great purchase especially at sale price. I like it better than my leather one because of the ability to reverse. As always I love the note taking paper and the circa advantage of moving papers around. That way I can use this notebook and slip the related papers into other circa notebooks. I love Levenger products and this looks so professional and beautiful too: I bought the purple and it is rich looking.
orange is best
By KerryM
from Fresno, CA
This is my second letter sized circa notebook and I love it. The color is true to the image for the orange color I purchased. The rings hold all the pages strong. It came with a lot of paper and I purchased dividers and colored paper too. It looks very professional even in orange.

The victim of the city's latest homicide has been identified as Joseph Lester, 27.
He was shot Thursday evening on Woodlawn Avenue. Police sources said the shooting may be drug-related.
Clyde Hoskin, 20, suffered a minor gunshot wound and was released after treatment at Erie County Medical Center, according to police spokesman Michael J. DeGeorge.
Lester, a Donovan Drive resident, was taken to Buffalo General Hospital where he later died.
The shooting occurred just before 7 p.m. at 111 Woodlawn near Masten Avenue and several patrol cars responded to the scene. Officers combed through the first-floor apartment of the two-story residence, which sits between two vacant lots and near Buffalo Academy for the Visual and Performing Arts and Wright's Day Care center.

Charleston-based Water Missions International recently received Charity Navigator's coveted four-star rating for sound fiscal management and commitment to accountability and transparency for the seventh year in a row.
"Only two percent of the charities we rate have received at least seven consecutive four-star evaluations, indicating that Water Missions International outperforms most other charities in America," Charity Navigator president and CEO Ken Burger said. "This 'exceptional' designation from Charity Navigator differentiates Water Missions International from its peers and demonstrates to the public it is worthy of their trust."
Charity Navigator helps guide intelligent giving by providing information on more 5,000 charities and by evaluating the financial health of those organizations. Forbes, Business Week and Kiplinger's Financial Magazine have profiled and celebrated Charity Navigator's unique method of applying data-driven analysis to the charitable sector.
"It is a top priority at Water Missions International to be good stewards of donor resources through financial transparency and accountability," says Water Missions International founder and CEO George C. Greene III, PE, PhD. "To continue to be recognized for such fiscal and operational responsibility by Charity Navigator is a great honor."
Water Missions International currently has full-time staff in nine countries around the world – Honduras, Haiti, Mexico, Belize, Peru, Uganda, Kenya, Malawi and Indonesia. In addition to providing sustainable access to safe water to people in these countries and 49 others, Water Missions International also stands ready to respond in the wake of a disaster.

TRUCKEE, Calif. — State and federal emergency crews are closing in on containing the American fire burning in the Tahoe National Forest.
The fire is burning in a heavily forested area of very steep terrain on Deadwood Ridge, about 10 miles northeast of Foresthill, Calif., roughly a half hour west of Lake Tahoe.
The U.S. Forest Service estimated its size at about 26,004 acres as of Wednesday morning. It's now 94 percent contained, and officials estimate it will be 100 percent contained this Thursday.
Roughly 1,082 personnel from Calfire and USFS and other agencies are fighting the fire, which is believed to be human-caused.
The fire ignited at about 4:30 p.m. Aug. 10 and has destroyed five structures as of Tuesday, according to USFS.
Heavy smoke from the fire and the 187,466-acre Rim fire near Yosemite National Park continues to create health hazards throughout Truckee and Tahoe, prompting agencies to issue air quality warnings.
Depending in shifts in wind patterns, the region will be under a dense smoke advisory heading into Labor Day, according to the National Weather Service, reducing visibility to a quarter mile at times.
Air quality in the surrounding Carson and Washoe valleys and at Lake Tahoe will be at unhealthy levels for most of the rest of the week, according to the Placer County Air Pollution Control and Washoe County Health districts.
"People with respiratory or heart disease, the elderly and children should avoid prolonged exertion; everyone else should limit prolonged exertion," officials said.
The Rim fire was 23 percent contained as of Wednesday morning, according to the forest service. Nearly 3,800 firefighters are fighting the fire, the price tag of which hit $27.2 million Monday.
Here are recommended ways to reduce smoke exposure, according to Placer County:
• Limit outdoor exertion and physical activity.
• If you have air conditioning, run the air conditioner on the "recirculation" setting.
• Leave smoke-impacted areas until conditions improve, if possible.
• Reduce unnecessary driving. If traveling through smoke-impacted areas, be sure that your vehicle's ventilation system is on re-circulate.
• Avoid the use of non-HEPA paper face mask filters, which are not capable of filtering out extra fine particulates.
