Open Access – Public Peer-Review & Interactive Public Discussion – Personalized Copyright under a Creative Commons License – Moderate Article Processing Charges
Indexed in Science Citation Index Expanded (Web of Science) , Scopus , ADS , Current Contents , GeoRef and J-Gate . Included in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) as well as in the Bodleian Library (UK) , Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek (D) and Library of Congress (USA) . Long-term e-archived in Portico and CLOCKSS .
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences (NHESS) is an interdisciplinary and international journal dedicated to the public discussion and open access publication of high quality studies and original research on natural hazards and their consequences. Embracing a holistic Earth System Science approach, NHESS serves a wide and diversified community of research scientists, practitioners and decision makers concerned with natural hazards detection, monitoring and modelling, vulnerability and risk assessment, and the design and implementation of mitigation and adaptation strategies, including economical, societal and educational aspects.
The scope of NHESS includes:
For peer-reviewed publication NHESS considers research articles, review articles, brief communications, comments & replies, and corrigenda. NHESS also publishes solicited book reviews. Papers submitted to NHESS can address different techniques and approaches including theory, modelling, experiments, case studies and instrumentations. The journal covers the following broad subject areas, which are used to categorise the paper for review:
This list is not exhaustive or ordered by rank, and the journal will consider submissions on other subject areas. Contributions dealing with multi-disciplinary aspects of natural hazards and their consequences are welcome.
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences exploits an innovative two-stage publication process designed to (a) provide a lasting record of scientific discussion on the journal topics, (b) maximise the effectiveness and transparency of the review process, (c) enable rapid publication of new scientific results and achievements, and (d) make scientific publications freely accessible.
In the first stage, papers that pass a preliminary editorial screening are immediately published in Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences Discussions (NHESSD). The submissions are then subject to an Interactive Public Discussion. In this discussion phase, the referees' comments (anonymous or identified), additional short comments by members of the scientific community (identified), and the authors' replies to the editor, the referees and peers are also published in NHESSD. In the second stage, the peer-review process is completed and, following acceptance, the final revised papers are published in Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences (NHESS).
To ensure publication precedence for authors, and to provide a lasting record of scientific discussion, NHESSD and NHESS are both registered with an International Standard Serial Number (ISSN), permanently archived, and fully citable.
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences also provides an effective way of publishing special issues focused on specific topics. For each special issue the individual papers are published as soon as they are accepted, and they are linked electronically (for more information, see Special Issues).
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences (NHESS) is published by the Copernicus GmbH (Copernicus Publications) on behalf of the European Geosciences Union (EGU).

How God Changes Your Brain
Be More Present: Get Inspired by the Science Behind Meditation
How God Changes Your Brain may just change the way you think about God. Authors Andrew Newberg, MD, and Mark Waldman, researchers at the Center for Spirituality and the Mind at the University of Pennsylvania, have interviewed and scanned the brains of the actively faithful, including Franciscan nuns in contemplative prayer, Buddhists meditating, and Pentecostal church members after inviting the Holy Spirit to enter them. The various practices, the authors found, evoke different feelings as well as corresponding changes in the brain. Contemplative prayer and Eastern meditation generate a sense of "oneness" with God or the universe, practitioners report—and this is actually confirmed by decreased activity in the parietal lobe, a region of the brain that's responsible for our perception of boundaries between ourselves and others, of being distinct from the rest of the world. Pentecostals speaking in tongues, on the other hand, feel that an outside entity is communicating with them—and in their case, activity in the parietal lobe increases. The way one views God also activates different parts of the neural circuitry: Thinking of a loving being causes the compassion centers to light up, whereas belief in an authoritarian spirit stimulates regions that prime the brain for fighting.
Newberg and Waldman devote the last chapters of the book to specific exercises drawn from both spiritual traditions and modern brain science—meditative, physical, and interpersonal techniques that can be used by anyone, atheist or believer, to enhance cognitive function, emotional serenity, and communication with others. To improve well-being in general, they say, the four most important elements to include in your life are cultivating faith (in God or another power, or simply in the belief that a positive future awaits you), engaging in dialogue with others, getting aerobic exercise, and meditating. — Gabrielle Leblanc

The Les Grossman School of Branding
Brand identity expert David Brier shares how Les Grossman (played by Tom Cruise) showed us how a highly unrefined, foul-mouthed Hollywood heavyweight producer can steal the show at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards ... while leaving behind some branding lessons to live by.
Les Grossman is that highly unrefined, foul-mouthed Hollywood heavyweight producer who first came to notoriety in Tropic Thunder. Brilliantly portrayed by Tom Cruise, Les is definitely more.
His most recent escapade appearing in various video shorts and a live performance (with Jennifer Lopez) at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards brought with it some lessons. Maybe they should be called Les'ns. But whatever, the man, the myth, the legend, the forehead are all bigger than life and here are some takeaways about what we can learn from LG.
1. Be Who You Is: Be Unmistakable
There is no confusing Les with any other film character. And, like it or not, branding is, in part, theater. Face it. You're setting the stage to tell your story, to present your products which are the characters of your production. Are you going to have a cast of forgettable characters or a production of memorable ones that engage your audience?
Distinction goes a long way for a brand. If your brand can easily be confused (or mistaken) for your competitor, then you unfortunately are not memorable and stand for very little.
Les'n learned: Be unmistakable. And once you've done that, revisit it to make sure you've gotten there for real. Heck, at least when Dave Thomas was doing the Wendy's commercials, I remembered the Wendy's brand. Didn't you?
2. Know When To Crush It: Go All Out or Not at All
Did you see Les in any of his promo videos or on stage shakin' his booty? He held nothing back.
He came out and the audience was standing, dancing, cheering, blown away by his total immersion into that character. The kind of immersion that the best brands do every day. Look at Dyson vacuum cleaners. They stood--boldly with total conviction--for great design and single-minded focus on "no loss of suction." The result was all the incumbents--Electrolux, Kenmore, Hoover--who were busy being complacent started frantically scrambling to catch up. Why? Because they stopped creating something amazingly fresh, new and relevant. They stopped going all out.
Les'n learned: Customers will ignore you if your brand is holding back, half-committed to excellence, and only making moves that are more political than strategic. Be bold. Be remarkable. Be outstanding.
3. Bust a Move in Front of the World: Don't Settle... Ever
When Les hit the stage, he didn't just show up, he took a flying leap... literally. He made an entrance that was impossible to ignore.
What type of entrance is your brand making on the stage you've set for your brand? Before the "water wars" started years before Pepsi and Coca-Cola entered in, there was Smart Water, which built its empire on solid package design, smart branding and an impossible-to-ignore bottle. Pardon the pun, but they didn't allow their brand to get watered down with improper corner-cutting.
Les'n learned: Dream big. Pay attention to the details. Never lose sight of that mountain (because after that mountain, you'll discover another one to climb).
4. Shake Things Up: Standing Still Will Never Win
Do something beyond the expected, please. Consumers are exposed to over 26,000 new products per year. That averages to over 70 per day, seven days a week.
Fact is, we are in the age of information overload.
How did Les do it? Les broke every expectation, dancing with J Lo, doing some Fly dancing. Prior to that, he had Will Smith's son, Jaeda, break his arm in a short video. Prior to that, Les interrupted the famous Tom Cruise underwear dance scene. In short, nothing was sacred.
Les'n learned: Jettison any complacency and any notion that your brand can merely do things "the same way we've always done them" since someone will come along and make you yesterday's breakfast, like Apple did to the smartphone industry with iPhone.
In summary, here are the four lessons LG taught us:
- Be Who You Is: Be Unmistakable
- Know When To Crush It: Go All Out or Not at All
- Bust a Move in Front of the World: Don't Settle... Ever
- Shake Things Up: Standing Still Will Never Win
Here's to successful branding (and doing more with Les).
David Brier [2] is an award-winning brand identity designer, author [3] and branding expert. His firm's work [4] has won the admiration of peers and organizations but, more importantly, has helped clients jump-start their brands in new and innovative ways, even (and especially) when they've failed in previous brand makeovers. You can follow him on Twitter here [5].

Vittone's slings dough by the disk and noodles by the nest to Decatur and Huntsville-area residents, serenading Alabamian taste buds with traditional Italian fare. Hone dairy origami skills with a gooey cheese calzone ($4.58) or exact ocular revenge on the moon with a lunar eye-hitting pizza pie, such as the Benzina, mounded with meaty pepperoni, italian sausage, bacon, ham, hamburger, and shredded cheeses ($8.03 for a small or $17.22 for a large). The eternally changing dessert menu silences the shrieks of banshee sweet teeth, and garlic breadsticks ($2.30) provide the perfect weaponry for pretend sword fights.
In 1890, the Cotaco Opera House hosted many of the country's top, touring song-and-dance acts. Through the golden age of vaudeville and during its brief resurgence as a teen fad in 1978, the opera house reverberated with rollicking live performances.
Today, it's a riot of flavors that fills the brick building with guests. In 1996, Meg and Scott Curry adopted the historical venue with a mission to continue its spirit of creativity. The couple works together to dream up gala-worthy catered dinners and a lunch menu packed with fresh meat and produce. As head chef, Scott perfects the dishes, calling upon a lifetime of classic French culinary training and experience in kitchens throughout the United States, including Decatur Country Club and the Ritz Carlton Hotel. Meanwhile, Meg draws on her love of travel to inform globally inspired dishes such as a muffaletta sandwich with olive relish and spring-roll salad with ginger vinaigrette.
Zen Beri's nonfat, low-fat, and no-sugar-added frozen yogurt—in flavors such as cheesecake, dark chocolate, and blueberry tart—brims with certified live active cultures. Its self-serve machines bestow gobs of these sweet treats, as well as dairy-free sorbets, on bowls. Guests can then heap on more than 50 toppings, such as candies, fruits, and nuts, to customize their dessert creations. Staff members also skillfully craft tempting sundaes, smoothies, and coffee drinks from Zen Beri's signature frozen-treats menu. They can also tightly pack quarts of take-home treats so that guests can indulge their sweet tooths during Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory marathons.
There's no shortage of renowned oyster establishments in the South. But tripsmarter.com pegged Wintzell's Oyster House as its No. 1 destination for the specialty.
"Fried, stewed, or nude": the Oysters are served every way imaginable at Wintzell's, where oysters are, unsurprisingly, the trademark dish. And they've been the trademark dish since the eatery's flagship location opened in 1938. Regional seafood favorites also dominate the menu, from low-country boils to Cajun seafood fettuccine and bacon-wrapped shrimp.
Though the original location became something of a landmark in historic Mobile, the restaurant has since expanded to multiple locations perfect for catching oysters in the nude, served Rockefeller style, or wearing their favorite pajama pants. Still, each eatery retains the original's decorative signature: several dozen whimsical signs on the walls. The website even features some of their slogans, including: "Never kick a man when he is down—he may get up."
Featured in the Huntsville Times, Philly Connection constructs 7-inch authentic cheesesteaks with classic italian-roll bases and extra-lean steak fillings, both imported from Philadelphia. The make-your-own cheesesteak satisfies hive-mind abstainers by stacking a choice of three cheeses—white american, provolone, or pepper jack—and an edible armada of more than 10 toppings, including sweet peppers, pepperoni, and pizza sauce, atop the tenderized, steak-filled italian rolls. Traditional taste buds may awe at the original cheesesteak, a classic congregation of grilled onions, tenderized steak, and white american cheese, while the chicken cheesesteak plumps the philly rolls with somersaulting bites of grilled poultry, onions, and cheese. Dining duos give their jaws a break from sandwich aerobics and chew on french fries while sipping ice-cold soft drinks and arguing about which famous physicist would make the best sandwich.

Hundreds of Wood-Ridge students take part in anti-obesity campaign
WOOD-RIDGE – More than 500 students at the Catherine Doyle School on Thursday took part in an expanded statewide initiative designed to combat childhood obesity through nutrition education and increased physical activity
Dubbed the Healthy U program — a partnership between The Horizon Foundation of New Jersey and the YMCA State Alliance — students took part in a variety of exercise regimens that will become daily routines.
"Healthy U focuses on physical activity for health versus physical activity for athleticism or skill," said Susan Cornell, the statewide Healthy U director.
"The significance is the amount of community input that carries the message to the youth about the importance of physical activity and healthy eating."
During a brief ceremony, Jane A. Egan, the Meadowlands Area YMCA chief executive officer, said the school's anti-obesity program paves the way for more schools to follow after an announcement in September of a $2.2 million grant by the Horizon Foundation to expand the program.
"You guys are one of the first 10 schools [to be expanded] in the state," Egan said.
Once the program is under way, Shelia Dunn, the YMCA's family wellness director, said her staff will show teachers and school dietitians how to implement optimum exercise and nutrition routines while students are in school.
Healthy U incorporates a curriculum called CATCH — Coordinated Approach to Child Health – that was created by the University of Texas through its Houston School of Public Health to help children adopt behavior changes that promote healthy eating and physical activity.
Forty-one member Ys with more than 20,000 children ages 5 to 13 have participated in the program at more than 400 after-school sites, officials said.
Statistics on childhood obesity are grim, with a recent study by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation showing that one in five children is either overweight or obese by age 6.

The Bombay Room's experienced and passionate instructors foster confident breathing and bending as they explain each movement and posture in an intimate class setting. Stretching, breathing, postures, and meditation join forces to form an exercise supergroup that combats stress and pain lurking in the dark corners of body and soul. Gentle, Vinyasa, Hatha, and midday and morning flow classes inhabit the studio's class schedule, which makes yoga more accessible to busy mat masters by offering instruction seven days per week, mostly in the early afternoon and evening. Arrive 10 to 15 minutes before class to sign in, get centered, and clear your head of catchy but off-color limericks.
Housed inside the giant oyster that is the state of Florida, Red Pearl Yoga offers an array of yoga classes for all levels of flexers and focused breathers. Bend your body and stretch your spirit in an Ashtanga yoga class, linking together physically challenging poses through a set series of flowing movements. Roll the dice that is your body with a Vinyasa yoga class that flows unpredictably from pose to pose while maintaining a focus on breathing. Merge the oil of the body and the water of the mind through the alignment focus of Hatha flow, or prepare yourself for motherhood with a pre-natal yoga-therapy class. There are several other yogadventures to set out on at Red Pearl Yoga, so check the schedule to see what's being offered when and by which of Red Pearl Yoga's 12 orange-tinted instructors.
Owner Rosa Santana had the privilege of learning directly from BKS Iyengar, the Indian founder of Iyengar yoga. She was so inspired by his unique approach to yoga—which combines poses with props such as blankets, bolsters, blocks, and straps to develop proper musculoskeletal alignment—that she began to devote her life to the restorative practice, becoming an instructor in 1995. Today, she shares her passion with students in her a soothing, pink-hued studio. She and a team of equally fervent yoga teachers work with students of all abilities during the 60- and 90-minute sessions, shepherding students through a tapestry of postures and prop-fortified movements. With enough practice, Santana believes that students may see an increase in strength and flexibility, as well as a decrease in stress and spirit-animal freak-outs.
In a specially heated room, Bikram Yoga Fort Lauderdale's teachers walk students through 26 postures during their signature 90-minute Bikram yoga classes. Students move twice through the whole sequence of 26 poses and two breathing exercises to center, strengthen, and lengthen every muscle with the muscle-melting powers of a 100-plus-degree room. It's designed to cater to all skill levels, allowing practitioners to choose the intensity of each workout. These sweat-inducing exercises can help patrons sweat out toxins so that they leave focused, with a cleansed, centered, and worry-free glow that outshines even the sun on its sweet 16 birthday.
Inspired by the design of an Indian temple—replete with vibrant fabrics dangling from the ceiling—Anuttara Yoga had no trouble catching the attention of New Times Broward-Palm Beach, which hailed it as the Best Yoga Studio of 2012. The space recently underwent an expansion to encompass nearly 8,000 square feet, including two 1,600-square-foot yoga rooms.
The Kula Room, with its spacious floor plan and minimal decor, stays at a balmy 85 degrees during nonheated classes such as yoga barre. The dimly lit Grand Tapas Hall, however, facilitates deeper stretching with a thermostat set to a sweat-inducing 95 degrees. This higher temperature loosens muscles, expels toxins, and thaws ancestors preserved in ice during 90-minute hot-yoga classes. New class offerings, to go along with the studio's recent expansion, include suspension yoga and chakra spinning.
When they aren't teaching yoga classes, the studio's 15 certified instructors pass on their knowledge to apprentices in training rooms and a well-stocked library. Other amenities include spa-like bathrooms with showers and a boutique area lined with yoga accessories and apparel.
Yoga Source's instructors run more than 90 classes each week geared toward students of all levels. Kundalini yoga classes work to relieve tension and increase energy, regardless of degree of flexibility or experience, using a symphonic gong to clear the mind while healing the body and elevating the spirit. Hatha yoga classes use stretches combined with breath work to develop flexibility and increase relaxation. To give back to the community, the teachers offer a free class that helps war veterans sleep better, lower their stress levels, and reduces their reaction to loud noises.

Skylanders Giants builds upon the breakthrough fundamentals of the first game-merging the physical and virtual realms with an innovative line of cross-platform toy figures that have "brains," which players everywhere can magically bring to life in the world of Skylands. This next installment of the franchise features a variety of new characters, new challenges, a thrilling new story-driven adventure, and advanced integration across console, handheld, mobile and online:• Going Big: Skylanders Giants introduces eight new highly collectible figures that are more than twice the size of the main skylanders cast in both physical and virtual form. Their in-game powers and abilities reflect their colossal scale.• Bright Lights: Helping to further the real world magic of bringing toys to life, Skylanders Giants includes a set of characters that feature spectacular new light technology integrated into the toys, allowing the figure to light up when near or on the Portal of Power. These characters have additional in-game benefits as well. Batteries are not required.• Brand New Skylanders: Eight new regular sized skylanders, each with their own unique powers, abilities, and personality, join the adventure alongside the Giants. • Forward Compatibility: Every beloved character from Skylanders Spyro's Adventure is 100% compatible with Skylanders Giants, leveled-up stats and customizations intact.• Wider Worlds: Portal Masters will see all new arenas and more gameplay options in Battle Mode for exciting head-to-head play, as well as enhanced Elemental Zones, new Hero Challenges, and other features that encourage players to collect and level up every character.
Skylanders Giants also features closer integration with Skylanders Spyro's Universe, the large online world that allows Portal Masters around the world to greatly expand their Skylanders experience.
"Skylanders Spyro's Adventure's success in 2011 validated an exciting idea-that with the right technology, and the creative minds to support it with engaging characters and story, we could define a new model for children's play," said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. "Skylanders Giants marks the evolution of this core concept. We've got super-sized figures, remarkably cool new characters that light up, as if by magic, and more ways to play and explore Skylands than ever before. We're delighted to announce the title at Toy Fair 2012 and can't wait for fans to go hands-on this fall."

NHCo. Telethon will Launch Water Assistance Program
On Saturday New Hanover County officially kicks off a new water assistance program to help residents who can't pay their water bills.
WHQR's Sara Wood reports Help 2 Others will launch with a day-long community telethon to solicit donations to help those without water service.
Donations brought in from the telethon will be distributed to local nonprofit agencies to help residents who can't pay their water bills for reasons such as sudden illness, unemployment and unexpected personal crises. County Spokesman Charles Smith says the telethon is the beginning of a larger initiative.
"After the kick-off event we plan to come back together and determine what type of strategy or other initiatives year-long that will continue to solicit funds for the Help 2 Others program."
Smith says households without water and sewer create a serious public health hazard. While the county doesn't have a goal for the telethon tomorrow, Smith says the county hopes to raise enough money to wipe the slate clean of all the unpaid bills.
He says while New Hanover does have emergency assistance funds set up for those in need that money dries up quickly.
"As with years past, those funds have gradually depleted. We find our emergency assistance funds smaller today than they have been in years past. So, this is certainly an addition to that and hopefully we'll be able to make our emergency assistance funds through the Department of Social Services go a little bit further."
The idea for the program started in January by Commissioner Rick Catlin who cited the issue as a major public health hazard.
Visit the Help 2 Others web site for more about the telethon.

Some school kids took full-advantage of mid-winter break Wednesday and discovered a heroic way to be healthy.
Sporting purple hats and mittens, kids were given free skate-time at Manhattan Square Park.
It's part of the Be a Healthy Hero program that promotes healthy lifestyles for kids. The program pushes healthier eating habits and increased activity to battle childhood obesity.
"Today, we've got a free skate at Manhattan Square Park with some of our partners, and we're just excited to have families and kids out being active on a chilly day, but it's a beautiful day in Rochester to be active outside," said Heidi Burke, Greater Rochester Health Foundation.
The slogan "5-2-1-0" stands for five veggies a day, two hours or less computer or TV time, at least one hour of physical activity, and zero sugary drinks.

The 52-year-old "Glee" star met 44-year-old Embry back in 2009 at a fundraiser in San Francisco ... and they married in 2010.
Lynch and Embry are California residents and a California court will almost certainly dissolve the marriage, even though gay marriages are not legal in California. The State recognizes marriages from places where gay marriage is legal.
Now ... California is a community property state, which means unless there's a prenup, Lynch and Embry would split all assets acquired during the marriage 50/50. Although Embry's no slouch, Lynch has made a bundle on "Glee" and other projects.
Sources connected with the former couple tell TMZ ... they don't have a prenup.
I hope she gets cleaned out financially and has to pay alimony like any other dude who is a douchebag.
Just wondering why when a straight couple gets divorced TMZ doesn't have a headline that says "My Straight Marriage Is Over"... ?
Now we'll find out if this marriage was "for real" or just two women having taking a lark.
When the good doctor asks for a 50-50 split will the TV Star deny the nuptials are valid because they live in California?
I truly hope they don't pull anything like that. I agree with the concept gay marriage - love is love, no mater who you're in love with. But marriage isn't a vehicle of convenience or the new LGBT cause - you take the good, you take the bad.
Jane will discover the downside of equality as the soon-to-be ex walks off with half. I predict within a decade there will be very, very few gay couples obtaining legal marriages.
I have nothing against gays or gay marriage men and men women and woman . I was always for people in love to honor each other .People living together without any abuse .Even people dating no abuse .The last few years all the hype of gay marriage .The media only talks about the rich and famous .Not so much of the working class .
There is one item about gay marriage not many states are talking about .That is Social Security Benefits and after so many years living together it will bring and make new rules and laws for divorced gays .Not only Social Security Benefits but temporary SSI payments .It's way too early now but in the future .Even Workers Comp claims will double . I know I'm going to take flack about this .Any attorney or Union Official will tell you in a few years

It was supposed to be the "mother of all battles" as the regime dubbed it in July, the city where the regime or the revolution would be crushed. But six months after rebels breached Aleppo the fight rages on, leaving civilians struggling to survive.
Residents in rebel-controlled neighborhoods, home to Aleppo's working class and poor, have endured shelling, air strikes and the brutality of some armed groups for months. Yet they remain in their homes, even as prices rise and the threat of death lurks around every corner.

You're never gonna have peaks like me if you stuff your face with bread. Cut the carbs, eat lots of chicken, cook with water or olive oil, train with small weights for more reps when you're fat and more weight to get that blast.
I can smile and I have a monstrous vein from my forehead to my ear. Chances are, you'll never have the veins I have or the peaks to go with it, but you can cut sugar and carbs and get ripped.

Dear friends of the Great Salt Lake Council,
"We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give."
This statement, attributed to Sir Winston Spencer Churchill, is charged with insight. It may seem odd to some that giving of our time and assets could actually serve to help us realize our best hopes. But many scouters of the Great Salt Lake Council can attest to the fullfullment of those hopes as they see both the difference they have made in the lives of youth and the difference they have made in the council's ability to deliver a program that assists in that effort.
The mission of the Great Salt Lake Council's Endowment is to create a consistent sustainable source of income to secure scoutings future. The Endowment continues to benefit from those benefactors and contributors who have caught this vision.
We hope that through this annual report you will gain insight into the program and facilities that you have enabled, how your funds are administered, and the progress that we are making in achieving the mission of the Endowment.
We greatly appreciate and thank you for your continued support,
Roger Thompson, Vice President of Endowment Committee
The Great Salt Lake Council, Boy Scouts of America, was founded in 1913. The Council serves 70,155 young men and women in Salt Lake, Davis, Summit, and Tooele counties.
Scouting programs include: Tiger Cubs - young boys in first grade Cub Scouting - boys second through fifth grade Boy Scouting - young men sixth grade to age 14 Varsity Scouting - young men 14 to 16 years of age Venturing young - men and women ages 16 to 21
Our ScoutReach program brings Scout programs to at-risk inner city youth, giving them a values-based experience after school and an alternative to the influences they are faced with every day.
Our Learning for Life program assists parents and educators by teaching Scouting's values and skills in elementary schools throughout the community. We are currently reaching 13,500 youth in the Salt Lake City area.
Our Camping program has over 23,348 youth attend summer and winter camps at any one of 12 camping facilities operated by the Great Salt Lake Council.
Scouting is the largest volunteer organization in the State of Utah, with over 28,934 volunteers working with youth participating in the Scouting experience.
Over 264,895 hours of service were rendered by young men in 2006 alone while earning their Eagle Scout rank, the highest achievement in Scouting.
The Great Salt Lake Council serves youth through a massive collaborative partnership system with over 200 organizations.
The Council serves youth through an annual program budget of $6 million.
First of all... What is an Endowment?
An endowment is a permanent fund that is invested to provide long-term support for a charitable purpose.
A portion of the investment earnings is distributed annually while the remaining earnings are retained in the fund so that the endowment and the annual distribution stream both grow over time.
Endowments are about more that money, they are about leaving a legacy.
Endowment funds represent the charitable wishes of donors who want to help the Great Salt Lake Council for perpetuity.
All new Endowment gifters are invited to an Annual Heritage Recognition Dinner to receive and be recognized for their gift.
For more information about Preserving the Legacy, please contact:

LEGO Anatomy Model: We're All Just A Bunch Of Modular Plastic Parts
This is a human anatomy LEGO figure (not to be confused with the anatomy OF a LEGO figure) created by LEGOmaniac and Flickr user Choking Hazards (I know they are but I can't resist!) and Photoshopped to look like it's straight out of an old anatomy book. Thankfully it's not though, because otherwise we'd have a whole bunch of doctors practicing today that can't tell @$$holes from elbows and stand just as good a chance of removing either if you go in for an appendectomy. Don't get me wrong, my b-hole isn't anything to write home about, but I'd still like to keep it. Wouldn't I? Wouldn't I, lil b-hole? "Bleach me." YOU SHUT THE F*** UP OR I WILL STOP WIPING.

ASH member Ralph M. Steinman, MD, of Rockefeller University in New York was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology for his pioneering discovery of dendritic cells and their role as critical antigen presenting cells of the immune system. Unfortunately, Dr. Steinman never knew of this great honor; he died after a four-year battle with pancreatic cancer unbeknownst to the prize committee on Friday, September, 30, just days before the announcement. Dr. Steinman was born in Montreal, Canada, on January 14, 1943, and, having graduated from McGill University, went on to receive his medical degree, magna cum laude, from Harvard Medical School. While a postdoctoral fellow at Rockefeller, he began research on primary white cells in the immune system and later concentrated on the role of dendritic cells, a term that he coined, in immune responses.
Dr. Steinman shared the award with two other physician scientists, Bruce Beutler, from University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and Scripps Research Center, and Jules Hoffmann, from University of Strasbourg. Dr. Hoffmann discovered a family of cellular receptors, termed "Toll," in fruit flies that are activated by pathogenic bacteria. Dr. Beutler, a former ASH member and son of the late Ernest Beutler, MD, who was a prominent hematologist and past ASH president, then identified a related family of innate immune receptors in mammalian white blood cells now known as Toll-like receptors (TLRs). These receptors, when stimulated by endogenous or exogenous "danger signals" such as bacterial endotoxin, activate the immune system and can cause septic shock. These landmark discoveries laid the foundation for innovative approaches to treat or prevent sepsis and to stimulate the immune system to attack tumors.

D.C. fire department seeks overnight shift changes
November 14, 2012 - 08:26 am
WASHINGTON (AP) - D.C. fire officials are proposing a change to ambulance shifts that would remove 14 advanced life-support vehicles from service during overnight hours.
Fire Chief Kenneth Ellerbe announced the proposed shakeup during a Tuesday news conference.
He says that because of a reduced need for service between the hours of 1 a.m. and 7 a.m., the department wants to rely during that time on 25 basic life-support ambulances.
The ambulances would be assisted by firefighters who are trained as paramedics.
He says the redeployment makes sense in terms of resources since the majority of calls for service come during the day.

NEW YORK, Jan 29 (Reuters) - University of Utah's school of business has received $13 million from technology entrepreneur James Lee Sorenson to establish a center to advance investment to organizations that demonstrate a benefit to society, the university announced on Tuesday.
The new James Lee Sorenson Center for Global Impact Investing will focus on the very early stages of investments made into companies, organizations, and funds with the intention of generating measurable social and environmental impact alongside a financial return.
Universities such as Michigan, Duke, Oxford, and New York, among others, have centers whose main focus is on social entrepreneurship, while the University of Utah's primary focus is on impact investing, said Lewis Hower, managing director of the Center.
A social entrepreneur is willing to look beyond conventional wisdom and experiment with market-based approaches - such as loans, not charity - to serve the social need, according to a definition by the Stanford Social Innovation Review.
The Center will address social issues such as healthcare, education, housing, sustainable and green energy, agriculture and entrepreneurial livelihood training and development.
'The students will be focusing on finding the most promising entrepreneurs and helping them develop their business plan,' said Sorenson, founder of Sorenson Communications, Utah's largest tech company and one of the nation's largest video relay service providers.
The Center will focus on research that fosters understanding of how free enterprise can be employed to create large-scale societal change; and curriculum development, including a proposed minor in Impact Investing to teach and train students.
'Instead of taking an exam and hoping that you do well on it, teams of students will be presenting investment opportunities to Jim and his foundation. There is no more real situation than that,' said Taylor Randall, dean of the Eccles School of Business at University of Utah.

As part of the Great Artists Series in The International Concert Series 2012/2013
Programme to be announced
One of the most beloved and celebrated musical ambassadors of our time, soprano Renée Fleming captivates audiences with her sumptuous voice, consummate artistry, and compelling stage presence. Known as "the people's diva" and named the number one female singer by Salzburger Festspiele Magazin in 2010, she continues to grace the world's greatest opera stages and concert halls.
As a musical statesman, Renée Fleming has been sought after on numerous distinguished occasions, from the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony to performances in Beijing during the 2008 Olympic Games. In January 2009, Ms. Fleming was featured on the televised We Are One: The Obama Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial concert for President Obama. She has performed for the United States Supreme Court, HRH The Prince of Wales at Buckingham Palace, and, in November 2009, celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Czech Republic's "Velvet Revolution" at the invitation of Václav Havel. An additional distinction was bestowed in 2008, when breaking a precedent; Ms. Fleming became the first woman in the 125-year history of the Metropolitan Opera to solo headline an opening night gala.
In the 2011-12 season, Renée Fleming reprises her celebrated portrayal of the title role in Stephen Wadsworth's production of Handel's Rodelinda at the Metropolitan Opera, conducted by Harry Bicket. She began the season as Donizetti's Lucrezia Borgia under the baton of Riccardo Frizza at San Francisco Opera; sings Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos at Baden-Baden in a new production by Philippe Arlaud, conducted by Christian Thielemann; and appears in title role of Arabella at both the Vienna State Opera, conducted by Franz Welser-Möst, and at the Paris Opera, conducted by Philippe Jordan. She joins Dmitri Hvorosovky and Sir Andrew Davis in a duo concert at Lyric Opera of Chicago, sings Strauss's "Four Last Songs" with Christoph Eschenbach and the London Philharmonic, and returns to Carnegie Hall with James Levine and the MET Orchestra in Mahler's "Rückert-Lieder." Her concert calendar includes galas at the Providence Performing Arts Center and the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, as well as concert appearances with the Seattle, Vancouver, Oregon, Colorado, and San Antonio symphony orchestras, and with San Diego Opera and Fresno Grand Opera.
We are delighted to welcome Ms Fleming to the National Concert Hall for her debut performance here in what is sure to be a mesmerising finale to the International Concert Series 12-13
Presented by The National Concert Hall
