Watson and Stafford shine in defeat
DUNDAS—You can call it a missed opportunity for the Dundas Real McCoys, but there were some positives to the 7-4 loss to the Brantford Blast last Friday night in Allan Cup Hockey in the Brantford Civic Centre.
One of the positives was the return of Cam Watson to the lineup with his first two-goal performance of the season. The other, was another strong offensive performance by Scott Stafford with a second period powerplay goal. Dundas had the best powerplay on the night getting three goals on four opportunities.
Don Robertson, President and General Manager of the Dundas Real McCoys, however, felt his charges were not as mentally prepared as they should have been for the contest.
"Brantford seemed more prepared Friday night and we just didn't respond as well as we had hoped we would. We played without two former pros at centre (Shawn Snider and Dan Lapointe), and that really showed," said Robertson.
"We don't have the depth yet to compensate when players are not available, however, we expect to have everybody Friday night at home. This weekend will be a real test because we play both Stoney Creek and Whitby, and that will tell us how we stack up."
Friday night (November 21) the McCoys play the Stoney Creek Generals at 7:30 p.m. in the JL Grightmire Arena, and then travel to Whitby on Saturday to play the Dunlops at 6:30 p.m. in the Iroquois Sports Centre
In addition to Watson and Stafford, Chris McGuffin added another goal while Simon Mangos assisted on two scoring plays.
Special Events
Allan Cup Championship night is set for Friday, November 28th when the Allan Cup banner will be raised and all the players will be invited back to receive their Allan Cup rings during a pre-game ceremony.
Season Tickets
Dundas Real McCoys season tickets are available by calling 905-627-4880, or at the office of ComChoice Real Estate, 179 King Street West in Dundas.
Dundas posts season-opening sweep
Last Friday, they opened their 2014-15 season with a 5-2 victory over Norwood Vipers in in the JL Grightmire Arena, and followed it up with a 4-1 win over Stoney Creek Generals in the Gateway Arena.
"Last year, it seemed we just changed the lines and let the players go. This year, there's a lot more instruction needed, and the new guys are responding to it well so far," said President and General Manager Don Robertson.
Curtis Campbell and Shawn Snider had a goal and two assists apiece in the home opener, with Keegan Rowe, Omar Ennaffatti, and Chris McGuffin adding singles. Rowe and Ennaffatti each assisted on a goal. In addition to Diminie, Joe Curry scored once for Norwood.
Last Sunday, in the McCoys first road game of the season, Snider picked up another two-point game with a goal and an assist. Dan Lapointe and Scott Stafford also scored once and set up another goal each. McGuffin had the other Dundas goal, while teammate, Mike Amodeo set up two goals. Dundas scored in each period even though they were outshot 51-29 by Stoney Creek. Mike Ruberto had the lone goal for the Generals.
The next action for Dundas is Friday, November 14 when they travel to Brantford to take on the Blast at 7:30 p.m. in the Brantford Community Centre. Dundas returns home to play Stoney Creek on Friday, November 21 at 7:30 p.m. before travelling to Whitby to play the Dunlops the following night in the Iroquois Sports Centre at 6:30 p.m.

1992 Isuzu Trooper Problems
A ticking noise may be noted from the engine valve train area. This is commonly caused by varnish build up in the hydraulic lash adjusters (HLA). Our technicians tell us that using Mobil 1 synthetic oil has been successful in cleaning the varnish deposits and quieting the lifter noise.
The check transmission light may illuminate with a stored code 37. This is commonly caused by electrical interference on the data communication circuit between the transmission control module (TCM) and the engine control module (ECM). Our technicians recommend that all related connection and ground locations should be inspected and repaired as necessary. In some cases electromagnetic interference may be the cause, shielding of the affected wiring may be of help it this case.
A severe engine oil leak may be the result of one or more of the camshaft plugs falling out of the cylinder head. The is most likely to occur in cold climates and is caused by the expansion and contraction of the cylinder head. There is a cam plug retaining kit available to secure new cam plugs in place.

If our experience from working with organisations within the Built Environment (BE) has taught us one thing it's that different departments within BE organisations face very varied challenges when working away from the office. This is particularly true when applied to mobile working and mobile working requirements within purchasing and inventory management departments of an organisation.
The vast majority of 'off-site' procurement processes and functions still rely heavily on traditional paper-based recording and reporting methods. And with this reliance on paper, comes a range of inherent challenges for the procurement team:-
Speed of Data Processing Paper based requisitioning and approval processes typically suffer from delays in getting the relevant documents from the instigator through to the signatory and then ultimately to the purchaser. Moving these processes onto mobile computers (ie laptops) doesn't necessarily speed up these procedures, as online access may still be required. This is compounded by . . . → Read More: Mobile Working For Procurement And Inventory Management

Hydrex has now developed a repair system that allows them to perform permanent underwater repairs to every type of propeller in dry conditions, while still afloat.
Over the years the Hydrex R&D department has continuously improved underwater repair techniques to make it possible for Hydrex diver/technicians to perform permanent repairs on seals, thrusters, rudders and almost any other part of the underwater vessel without the ship needing to go to drydock.
The new repair system allows all kinds of repair or maintenance work to be carried out on propellers, twin propellers, variable pitch propellers, azipod and collapsible thrusters.
This new repair system can be transported by air transport to any location around the world from the Hydrex fast response centers within a very short time frame. It can be assembled very quickly (12 hours) on-site.
With the implementation of this technique Hydrex diver/technicians can now perform permanent repairs to all parts of the underwater ship propulsion system in drydock-like conditions.
This is especially important news for supply vessels, navy ships or any vessel under contract or on a location far away from available drydock possibilities. Staying on hire for underwater repairs will save precious time and money, say Hydrex.

Thanks for the update. Interesting insight into the thinking concerning the Firebird project. I appreciate seeing some of what you're working on with the '67 too. Looks like a lot of things coming together at one time but it is clear that "the wheels are turning" regarding planning ahead.
As for the '69 car, it's looking good. I wanted to bring to your attention that the removal of the headlights and covering the hole with a flat plate did not begin until the 1970 season. Hence, the stock headlights were still in the '69 cars but covered with sticky-back vinyl or tape.

Far from everythingPosted Oct 6, 2013 on Hotels.com
This was a great hotel except for how far it was from everything. The one saving factor was that there was a subway station about a 10 minute walk away. If you knew the bus schedule, and had the time, there was a bus stop right in front if the hotel.

Convenient for what I needed and for public transport to centrePosted Nov 26, 2011
Location: The Forbidden City is a must do for the history and beauty. The Silk Mall is great for shopping. The Hutongs are delightful and good for authentic Chinese purchases. The tallest building in Beijing needs to be seen before 10pm as all the lights in the city are switched off after that time. Street cooking is popular and you can watch them cook your food in front of you.
If you're looking for a nice hotel in the Haidian district of Beijing, this is the perfect choice. However, very few staff spoke English and that was a little challenging at times but they were friendly and helpful! The hotel was clean, the room was big and clean and the spa offered a wide range of massages and treatments. Taxi to the airport from the hotel cost RMB 120; taxi fare to Tiannemen Square was about RMB 65. Buses were right outside and cost 20p to the Subway which also cost 20p to get into the centre or to most places of interest.

Don't go there!Posted Oct 2, 2011 on Hotels.com
The pictures looked great so I booked a week. We got there and there was NO functioning Air Conditioning! After locating the only person that spoke English, they kept saying everything was "fine". We finally had to say: "please either fix the AC, find us another room with a working AC unit, or we will simply have to find another hotel". Their response was amusing, they said: yes, better you find another hotel...which we happily did and their AC unit worked fine. Location? They are 45 minutes away from the airport, right next to a 10 lane super highway with NOTHING around them. The hotel restaurant is a joke, we had to take a taxi to find breakfast! I am not usually someone that complains and normally take things in stride - this hotel is a joke, book at your own risk...I would avoid it like the plague!!

Justin Burnell says London Welsh's play-off final against Bristol cannot come around soon enough.
The Exiles host Bristol at the Kassam Stadium on Wednesday night (7.45) in the first leg of their Greene King IPA Championship final.
And having experienced such a high with their last-gasp semi-final victory over Leeds, head coach Burnell (pictured above) is eager to get back in the fray.
"It's a mouth-watering prospect, that's why we are talking it up," said Burnell.
"We can't wait for it. It's brilliant."
Bristol, whose director of rugby is former England and Scotland coach Andy Robinson, are favourites for promotion, but there is no doubting Welsh's determination.
"It is a special breed here," said Burnell.
"It's a good mixture. We have a couple of northerners, a couple of Welsh lads.
"The way they have been brought up is that you have got to work hard for everything in life and that's what they proved today.
"We want success and the only way you will achieve that is by rolling your sleeves up and punching your guts out."

Gaile Lok has recently addressed rumours of breakup with alleged New Zealander boyfriend, Cuz.
Previously, the Hong Kong media reported that the former Mrs. Leon Lai has called it quits with her new man, who is also her business partner in Bali.
Allegedly, the model decided to keep herself busy with work in Hong Kong in order to move on from her failed relationship.
However, according to Mingpao News, when asked to comment about the rumours recently, Gaile said, "I don't always talk about my relationship. It's in the past and I will not answer."
When asked if 'in the past' means that they have indeed broken up, which means that they had been dating, Gaile only replied, "No."
In regard to speculations that she deleted her Instagram because of the breakup, Gaile said that she only deleted it because she wanted her photos to be personal.
Asked if she would return to Bali, Gaile laughed and said, "I have many friends there, but it's rainy season there right now, so I haven't returned to Bali."
On the topic of a possible reunion with ex-husband Leon Lai, Gaile said, "I would like to focus on my jewellery business."

Hong Kong singer Alan Tam urges the media to give GEM Tang a chance to improve her interpersonal communication.
As reported on Mingpao News, the singer, who attended a press conference for the upcoming 37th Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs on 20 November, made such statement in reference to the controversy surrounding GEM Tang's supposed diva behaviour recently.
Previously, the songstress was accused of being an arrogant diva, not only for her expensive concert tickets that surpass even the likes of senior singers such as Miriam Yeung and Sammi Cheng, but for the attitude of her manager, who threatened to cancel her interview with the media at her recent press conference announcing her upcoming concert.
"It's just a misunderstanding," said Alan. "She is a very good singer, but she still has a long way to go in regard to her social skills."
"She is learning slowly. Give her the opportunity to grow and learn," he added. The singer also gave his two cents about the issue, saying that her management should also learn to be flexible, as she is a public figure who lives in the public eye.
"There are different approaches for different occasions," said Alan, adding that artistes should learn how to face the media and public.

"I even went to sleep with the ring on last night. I want to be reminded every day that he proposed to me, though I am also afraid that I might lose the ring because of my carelessness."

While the 48th TVB Anniversary Gala ended with a good note on 19 November, with Wong Cho Lam's marriage proposal becoming the highlight of the event, it was revealed that the Hong Kong Communications Authority has received ten complaints from viewers about the annual TV event.
According to Mingpao News, most of the complaints were about the stars' dresses, as many of them wore low-cuts and backless dresses that showed off their legs and cleavage - deemed unsuitable for public TV.
Aside from criticisms about celebrities' style, many also complained about the show's content being dull and dreary, and was badly produced.
In regard to Wong Cho Lam's surprise proposal to Leanne Li - while it was a touching moment for the couple as well as the audience at the event, viewers cast their suspicion about the proposal's supposed 'surprise' nature.
Some said that Leanne has recently discussed about her wedding preparation in an interview with a wedding magazine prior to the event, and doubt that the proposal was surprising to her.

As reported on Mingpao News, the actor, who was smiling brightly as he accepted his prize, said that this is the first time he has won a lucky draw in his 11 years with TVB.

TAIPEI: Mandopop singer Jay Chou's girlfriend Hannah Quinlivan offered up some interesting insights into their relationship when she appeared as a guest on a talkshow on Wednesday (Nov 19), reported Taiwan media.
Quinlivan was questioned relentlessly by hosts Dee Hsu and Kevin Tsai during the show, and revealed that she often addressed Chou by the nickname "Chou Chou".
The 21-year-old model added that he loved to eat the desserts she prepared, while she would cut up the vegetables when he cooks for her.
Quinlivan also revealed that they first held hands when they were watching a horror film together. She said she was covering her eyes with her hands because she was afraid, when Chou gently took one of her hands and held it in his.
Hsu also asked her if Chou snored in his sleep. "I haven't heard him snore before!" said Quinlivan, realising too late that she had perhaps said too much.
"They are already going to get married. This is normal," said Tsai, in a bid to rescue Quinlivan from the awkward situation. Chou had previously said that he intends to get married early next year, but declined to give more details.

The idol-turned-actor's Chinese rom-com, "Back to Twenty," a remake of the Korean film "Miss Granny," is to be released in China on Jan. 15 next year.

BH Entertainment, Lee Byung Hun's agency, stated on November 21, "We're making the announcement en bloc because we've received many inquiries. Lee Byung Hun entered Korea on November 21 at 6 a.m. (KST). We hope there are no misunderstandings in regards to his schedule."
Having carried out his official and unofficial schedules in America, Lee Byung Hun will likely have no problem attending the trial on November 24, as he secretly returned to the country on November 21. During his stay with Lee Min Jung in America, Lee Byung Hun carried out his schedules as the honorary ambassador of California and wrapped up work for his Hollywood movie.
Lee Byung Hun's agency previously stated, "We did not rearrange the schedules to avoid the trial on the 11th in the first place and have no reason to avoid it so we will definitely be attending the trial on the 24th," adding, "Even if a special circumstance arises there is actually nothing more important than the trial right now. We will be attending after becoming familiar with information related to witness attendance."
In September, Lee Byung Hun was the victim of attempted blackmail of 5 billion won by Glam's Da Hee and model A. Da Hee and model A were arrested and charged for making a joint threat and the first round of trial was held on October 16, during which Da Hee and model A partly admitted to making a threat but also made new claims.
About this, the police requested Lee Byung Hun as the witness and the second trial was to be held on November 11 but when Lee Byung Hun gave a notice to not attend the trial due to his stay in America, it was postponed to November 24. On that day, Lee ..... (article cut to save bandwidth)

MLS Preview from The Sports Network (ET)
Portland (6-6-9) at Los Angeles (8-4-6), 2:30 p.m.
Carson, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Two surging teams will meet at the StubHub Center on Saturday as the Los Angeles Galaxy will host the Portland Timbers.
The Galaxy are flying high after a surprising 3-0 victory at first-place Seattle Sounders FC last time out, but the Timbers appear to have found their form in recent weeks as they enter the weekend having won their last two contests.
After earning a come-from-behind victory over the Colorado Rapids on July 18, Portland duplicated the feat by edging the Montreal Impact in a 3-2 win at the Stade Saputo on Sunday.
"This team - they've been through a lot this year, and we never quit and we've kept fighting and grinding," Timbers head coach Caleb Porter said. "Because of what we've been through, we are one of the most mentally tough teams in MLS right now because we've had to do it the hard way."
The victory over Montreal was the second straight match marked by a late winner from Diego Valeri, and Porter highlighted his intention to "go for it" against an Eastern Conference team.
"For us, this was three points or bust," Porter said. "It's one of those games where you're not playing a conference team where it's a six-point swing, where you try to win those games, but if it looks like you can't win, then you don't lose because at least you hold the points. We're going to gamble in these non- conference games, even if it means risking a loss. We're going to go for it."
Porter's comments could signal that the Timbers may be willing to settle for a point at the StubHub Center against a Galaxy side that has not lost on home soil since their opening match of the season.
Los Angeles has gone on to produce a 5-0-2 record at home since its defeat to Real Salt Lake on March 8, a run that included a 2-2 draw with the Timbers on July 4.
Since that tie with Portland, Los Angeles has won three out of four to climb to third place in the Western Conference, most recently cruising to comfortable defeat of the Sounders.
"We played well," Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena said. "We looked sharp and, you know, it's mid-year right now. Everyone is still finding themselves. We're just beginning to get our team on the field. After a half a season of misery, having to deal with the injuries and the absences and all that, hopefully we'll get a little bit more of a solidified unit."
Landon Donovan, who suffered a slight dip in form following his exclusion from the United States World Cup squad, played a starring role in the momentous victory, which is a good omen for the Galaxy in their push toward the playoffs.
"I felt really good this week," Donovan said after the defeat of Seattle. "I feel like I'm starting to play well again. I really pushed myself to be playing well in April and May of this year, and I was, and then I just dropped off a little bit. It's important for me to get back to that. Again, this is only one night and it's got to continue. That's what's expected of me, and that's what I expect of myself."

There is no doubt that we live in a age of metrics. Any activity that can be quantified can be recorded, analysed and displayed automatically for a wide variety of markets (Commerce, Health, Internet, etc.) Metrics are not new and have kept pace with technology and commerce.
I am the founder of BITS (Barcelona International Technology Show) an event focused on technology innovation and geek culture. When organising events I found myself sending a lot of emails to establish contact with possible sponsors, speakers, collaborators, etc. I don't really like it because I do prefer to talk with the companies face to face, but most of the time this is a first step. Most of these emails will contain almost the same exact text with the exception of some lines where you will explain why you are writing to that person and why would be great to join BITS ( Because it will be ;) )

I've been having problems to run Xcode 5 iOS simulator lately, it takes a lot of time in order to run and the application is slow during development. I am working from a iMac early 2008 (for now…) Searching on the internet I found a list of solutions that might be helpful
Hello there, Today I was working on a Three.js prototype which will preview the location of the 3rd edition of Barcelona Developers Conference and I found some problems when loading a bulk of models and textures, basically associating THREE.JSONLoader and THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture The problem is that when you create an instance of the loader or execute loadTexture you lose the reference when the method succeeds. In order to solve this I found this solution that might be useful to you too.

Lost CASSiE search moves up a gear
Elite teams of Warwick University quadcopter operatives will take to the skies this weekend in search of CASSiE the Cosmic Hedgehog, missing since a high-altitude ballooning (HAB) mission went off the radar somewhere over Oxfordshire or Warwickshire. CASSiE the Cosmic Hedgehog Missing: CASSiE the cosmic hedgehog Following a …
Thriving Space Industry?
Since the cancellation of Black Arrow in the 70's Britain remains the only country to have successfully developed a satellite launch system and then to have abandoned it.
I can't believe that little fella is out there somewhere. Hopefully some kind old lady is feeding him milk and cat food.
Come home soon little CASSiE
No milk please
It doesn't actually suit hedgehogs.
Remember Steve Fosset?
Took a month to find any evidence as to where he crashed.
Good luck with that then.

a month? I thought it was over a year.

I hope she isn't in a cell with the Playmonaut, inside a miniature Baking Soda and Vinegar volcano, and that they find her safe and well. But I'm still going for the "someone is stealing our toy astronauts a la You Only Live Twice" theory.
Can I raise the dread possibility that CASSIE has defected and is even now supplying North Korea with the necessary technology to bombard America with stratospheric Kinder eggs and soft toys?
How very dare you, sir? How very dare you? She's a heroine, not a commie traitor! A heroine I tell you, a heroine!
One day, when your grandchildren graduate from "The CASSiE School of Rocket Boffinry", I hope you take a moment to remember your doubt and regret it. And donate a saucer of the Lactose free milk to the poor earthbound hedgehogs, or something.

Mentoring Program Opens at Church: Location Is Newest of Five Sites in Fallbrook Where Kids Attend After-School Sessions (San Diego Union-Tribune, California)
Thanks to a $6,000 donation, the GANAS (Guide, Advise, Nurture and Support) mentoring program opened a fifth site last month at the St. John's Episcopal Church in San Diego, CA. At GANAS, youth aged 9 to 14 can participate in afterschool activities led by trained mentors and local high school students, who serve as positive role models and help steer youth away from gangs and drugs. The program provides snacks and encourages children to share news of the day and play brain games. Pat Braendel, the program's founder, told San Diego Union-Tribune, "The program develops critical thinking and leadership skills that help kids build confidence and healthy, balanced minds and bodies."
In Englewood, New Program Puts Greater Emphasis on Black History (Northern Valley Suburbanite, New Jersey)
Vanisha Williams attributes her confidence and sense of pride to an African-American studies class she took in college. Hoping to pass on this eye-opening experience to younger students, Williams began an afterschool program called "Sons of Sankofa" to teach seventh through twelfth grade students about black history, hopefully giving them pride and a sense of self in their community. In the Akan language of Ghana, "Sankofa" translates roughly to "reach back and get it." "It's about taking what's good in the past and bringing it to the present for positive progress," Williams told Northern Valley Suburbanite. "I feel that's necessary for any success." Sons of Sankofa will incorporate technology and social media to better engage students as they learn.
Elementary School Students Explore How Water Works (Montrose Daily Press, Colorado)
Last week, Montrose, CO area elementary school students, with the help of park rangers, worked on hands-on projects to learn about the Colorado River system at their 21st Century Community Learning Center afterschool program. Students built a replication of the river system and subjected a model town to pollution and precipitation to demonstrate effects on the watershed. Teachers at the Montrose Elementary After-School Program have planned many other unique and highly creative projects for students, with titles like "Boredom Blasters" and "European Escapades." "The growth and the quality that we've been able to build and establish, and… the amount of children we have every day in our program is amazing," Director Erica Jiron told the Montrose Daily Press.
Clairton Kids Learn Healthy Snacking in CASTLE Class (The Daily News, Pennsylvania)
First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! initiative encourages chefs to visit schools and educate children on healthy snack options. In that spirit, Duquesne University Executive Sous Chef Zachary Puhala recently taught fifth and sixth-graders in CASTLE—Clairton's After-School Teaching & Learning Experience—how to make hummus and applesauce. Puhala believes the key to getting children to eat healthier is getting them engaged in cooking and finding ways to make nutrition fun – in this case, by letting them crush chickpeas and mash apples to make healthy snacks. CASTLE program coordinator Greg Spotti hopes the students will apply what they've learned at home, thereby promoting healthy eating in their communities. "It's not something that has to be done at school," he told The Daily News. "They can take this learning and share with their family and pretty much everybody else."

MentorPlace Program Truly a Worthy Investment (Cincinnati Enquirer, Ohio)
Through the MentorPlace Program, Deer Park (OH) students are gaining the confidence to believe they can accomplish great things. The afterschool program, a collaboration of IBM, the University of Cincinnati, The Greater Cincinnati STEM Collaborative and Deer Park City Community Schools, pairs IBM employees with middle school students to promote science and technology careers and work through personal issues. Jeff Langdon, superintendent of Deer Park Community City Schools, told Cincinnati Enquirer, "The closing ceremony was so rewarding when we witnessed the confidence and pride the mentors evoked from our students. The real-world connection was powerful in linking our students' learning to their plans for the future."
12 Computers Donated to Utica's Underground Café (Utica Observer-Dispatch, New York)
In poorer neighborhoods, it's not uncommon for school to be the only place where youth have access to 21st century technology, and UnitedHealthcare is trying to help. The group is donating 12 computers to Utica Safe Schools to establish a computer lab at its Underground Café teen center. The Underground Café, open only to Thomas R. Proctor High School students, also offers an afterschool program, a drop-in center during school breaks and summer for recreational activities, opportunities for college preparation through increasing leadership and resiliency skills, and service learning projects. Officials told the Utica Observer-Dispatch that the program "helps transform the experiences and perceptions of teens in Utica by creating venues for leadership, civic engagement and create expression."
Nonprofit to Lock Up Business Leaders for a Good Cause (Brunswick News, Georgia)
Some local Georgia business owners might see the back of the police car this week, but it's all for a good cause. The Nonprofit C.I.A. (Children In Action) will be locking up business leaders, nominated by their employees, for their "Most Wanted" fundraising campaign. Those nominated will be escorted by a Glynn County police officer and a child from the afterschool program back to the "jail" at C.I.A. headquarters, where they will be photographed, booked and held until they can post a $500 bail. All bail money will go directly to the Christian nonprofit's operations fund for the year. C.I.A. founder and director Allen Benner told Brunswick News that while in "jail," he plans to speak to business leaders about his vision for C.I.A.'s future and discuss possible collaborations. Benner said he hopes allowing children to accompany officers on the round-up will help them build trust.
A Different Process': Artfigures Studio Provides Foundation, Inspires Creativity in Sculpture (The Citizen, New York)
Janie Darovskikh's Art After School program held an unusual pumpkin-carving event on Oct. 30. Rather than simply scooping out the inside and cutting out a face on the front, the students researched their designs for the pumpkins and used the sculpting skills they learned in Darovskikh's afterschool classes to make creative, colorful masterpieces, even using toothpicks to reattach pumpkin chunks as ears and other appendages. Darovskikh explained to The Citizen that she teaches art based on her life philosophy: give students some initial lessons to provide them with a solid foundation, and then free them to explore their own creativity and figure out their own style through trial and error. While some students stick to one idea throughout an assignment, other students run through a few different ideas before completing their finished project. "Everyone has a different process," Darovskikh said. "They don't always turn out how you envision them all the time." For example, she described an assignment in which one student created an alien mask, another built a unicorn head, and a third designed a cartoon-looking bumblebee. In Darovskikh's class, children are given the freedom to create whatever they can imagine.

CV CyberPatriots Test Skills Against Hundreds in Nation (The Spokesman-Review, Washington)
Central Valley High School students are learning to close computer network gaps that can allow hackers to sneak in thanks to the school's CyberPatriots afterschool program focused on cyber security. CyberPatriot was created by the Air Force Association to encourage students to consider careers in cyber security and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields. 17-year-old Riley Madrian wasn't sure if she'd like it. Now, she's hooked. "It's like trapping someone who is super sneaky. It's relevant," Madrian told The Spokesman-Review. "It's like what should be happening at Target and Home Depot to protect people from their identity being stolen." Madrian had planned on a college major in music performance, but now she's considering adding some computer science.
PS 39 Students Use Their Green Thumbs, Learn About Eating Well and Growing Heart-healthy Foods (Staten Island Advance, New York)
Students at PS 39 – many of whom were affected by Hurricane Sandy – are getting a hands-on lesson on growing, harvesting and eating healthy foods, the Staten Island Advance reports. Earlier this year the afterschool students planted the borough's first teaching garden thanks to a partnership between the Staten Island YMCA and the American Heart Association. After planting tomatoes, mint, basil, squash, peppers and cucumbers, students made heart-healthy lettuce wraps from the freshly picked ingredients. PS 39 afterschool students were involved in the project from start to finish; they built and painted containers, filled them with soil, took care of watering and weeding, grew the various fruits and vegetables, harvested and ate them.
Piedmont Middle School Offering Coding Class (The Anniston Star, Alabama)
Eighth grade student Chris Chandler has already programmed at least six games in his free time thanks to the skills he's acquired during Piedmont Middle School's afterschool program. In weekly afterschool sessions students are learning using Google Computer Science First's curriculum via Scratch programming, which is a simplified version of the coding languages offered in upper-level classes. Superintendent Matt Akin told The Anniston Star, "The earlier we can expose kids to STEM fields—in this case computer science—the better." He continued, calling the afterschool program, "a neat way to get kids attracted to programming where normally they wouldn't be attracted."
Carnival Mentors Help Students Cruise Into A Brighter Future (The Miami Herald, Florida)
Student Earl Generato from Pembroke Pines never imagined he'd be able to attend a private university because of the tuition bill. "My sister is going to college soon, too, and my parents wouldn't be able to pay for both our college tuitions," he told The Miami Herald. "I didn't want to overburden them." However thanks to The Carnival Foundation, the charitable branch of Carnival Corp., and the foundation's scholarship and mentoring program, Generato was able to do just that. Now finishing his first year as a University of Miami Stamps Leader Scholar, majoring in English and biomedical engineering, he credits Carnival with enabling him to continue his education. The Carnival Foundation recruits students who attend the HEAT Academy, an afterschool program for kids in Little Haiti and Little Havana. Those who maintain good academic standing are invited to join the high school mentoring program, in which students are paired with a Carnival mentor. Students, like Generato, are also eligible for scholarships.

Teen, Mentor Are 'Prefect Match' (The Free Lance-Star, Virginia)
13-year-old Aaron Johnson already has the experiences of a world traveler, even though he rarely leaves his hometown. Thanks to his "big brother" Gerald Fennemore and the Rappahannock Big Brother Big Sisters program, Johnson has met people from every continent except Antarctica. However, Johnson is gaining much more than cultural experience. "If you have a big brother, the family is like a second family, and a second home, so you'll have two homes, and they can support you and help you with anything you have issues with," Johnson told The Free Lance-Star. Fennemore has not only been teaching and mentoring Aaron, but the duo also love watching football and playing games together. "If you could find at least one other caring adult to make a difference in a kid's life, that's all it takes. Another adult might be able to find a spark to nurture something in your child that maybe you don't see," Johnson's mother told The Free Lance-Star.

High School Freshman Monica Washington had no idea what she was in for when she enrolled in the Google After-School Program. Through the afterschool and summer computer science program, Washington has learned how to use Scratch, a fashion design program, and has taken classes on cyber security, yo code and an introduction to computer networking. After discovering a passion for cyber security during the summer, Washington tells The Post and Courier, "I am so thankful that I have the chance to get involved in learning about technology. It's exciting… It is my hope that many more girls will take advantage of these awesome programs."

Thanks to a 21st Century Community Learning Center grant, Our Bridge, a nonprofit afterschool program in South Charlotte, was able to re-open to provide immigrant and refugee children with a safe and welcoming place to learn English. Our Bridge provides meals and transportation for the kids and celebrates their cultural holidays to make them feel at home, while still learning a whole new language in an unfamiliar country. Program Director Andrew Eastwood told The Charlotte Observer about a recent project on frog hibernation in which students made edible tadpole-winter hibernation exhibits of whipped cream, blue jello, chocolate pudding and gummy worms. "The kids loved learning about it and eating it," Eastwood added.

Wake Forest Parents Cheer Transportation to Boys & Girls Club (News & Observer, North Carolina)
Parents in Wake Forest burst into applause at a recent meeting when they learned that their children would continue to have bus service to their afterschool program. For years the option for children to be dropped off at the Wake County Boys & Girls Club had become routine, but this year, due to a drop in 100 bus routes and 4,000 stops to speed up service, the stop had been eliminated. "Families had to wait for several weeks beyond the first day of school to find out whether they would have service, leaving parents anxious about their children's after-school plans," the News & Observer reports. Families had to apply for stop reassignment and the routes are now being altered on a first-come, first-serve basis, with no guarantees. Leaders at the Wake County Boys & Girls Club are looking into long-term solutions to ensure families have transportation.
Students Restore Atrium in Memory of Librarian (Idaho Press-Tribune, Idaho)
Afterschool students in the West Middle School Leo Club, an offshoot of the Nampa Lions Club, cleaned up the atrium in the middle of the cafeteria and dedicated it to the memory of a librarian and mentor to the students who died in 2010. The students raised funds with candy and bake sales, car washes, and dances. Sebastian Griffin, an eighth-grader at West who is hoping to be the Leo Club's president this year, said he has enjoyed being in the club for the past year, "It's a fun after-school activity that you can do with your friends and help the community at the same time," the Idaho Press-Tribune reports.
Students On Track To Graduate Thanks To Success Program (WNCT 9, North Carolina)
The Student Success Academy is helping hundreds of at-risk students in Pitt County get on track to graduate with high expectations—and they're only in middle school. Thanks to a $1.27 million grant from the 21st Century Community Learning Center program, graduation rates have increased from 50 percent to 82 percent because students are actually excited about school, thinking farther ahead about their exciting future careers. "It's about beginning with the end in mind," student Javante Mayo tells WNCT 9. "It helps me set goals and talk about how I can achieve my goals." Pitt County Schools predict the graduation rate to keep increasing each year, now that this program is in place.
State Rep Promotes After-School Fitness (Cleveland Daily Banner, Tennessee)
Russell Cliche, a representative from The Governor's Foundation for Health and Wellness, spoke to 30 people from afterschool and extended learning programs about how to help students become more physically active in afterschool programs. Cliche told the Cleveland Daily Banner that increasing blood and oxygen flow to the brain help the brain's ability to concentrate, "When you're moving and learning, you're creating brain cells." This is the first year that 21st Century Community Learning Centers and state-funded Lottery for Education Afterschool programs are required to incorporate physical activities into their programs.

New Bowie Library Program Stops the "Shushing" (The Gazette, Maryland)
The new Teen Zone program at the Bowie Branch Library is allowing students to play board games, eat, listen to music, and even talk with friends above a whisper. The free program launched in August and gives teens a supervised place to meet up after school to do homework or relax every day between 2:30 and 6:00 p.m. The library's new Youth Services Coordinator Joslyn Jones tells The Gazette that since Teen Zone launched, there has been a reduction in students loitering outside the library unsupervised. "This is a space for them to decompress… we want them to feel welcome," she said.

The Physical Activity and Learning program is funded from a 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant. A decade of research showing that children's increased physical activity can lead to higher academic gains went into creating the program's curriculum. "It's fun to watch children learn and grown, and it's an important opportunity for our UGA students to learn to engage in and evaluate experimental practices as teachers," Paula Schwanenflugel, a professor of educational psychology and part of the interdisciplinary community service project at UGA, told UGA Today. The program aims to be completely sustainable at the end of the five year grant.

Commentary: The Importance of Afterschool Programming (The Palm Beach Post, Florida)
Mayors Karl Dean and Betsy Price are asking their fellow mayors, city council members and other community leaders to take action to make afterschool programs a priority. In The Palm Beach Post, Dean and Price write, "Participating in high-quality afterschool programs has been shown to promote positive behaviors such as school attendance, and may help boost academic achievement, civic engagement and self-confidence, while reducing such dangers as obesity and juvenile crime…we need more cities to get on board. We urge city leaders to bring together key stakeholders to talk about—and take action on—local afterschool needs. Mayors and city council members can lead key players to work together effectively. And we need cities, businesses and private funders to invest more in afterschool. Such an effort will change young lives, help families and strengthen neighborhoods." Mayors Dean and Price are on the Afterschool Alliance Board of Directors and received funding from The Wallace Foundation to expand afterschool opportunities in Nashville, Tenn., and Ft. Worth, Texas.
Theresa Horton Aces Courtrooms and Kitchens (Greenville Online, South Carolina)
An afterschool program from Resurrection Power Ministries in Travelers Rest is teaching children, ages 6 to 10, how to be self-sufficient in the kitchen. In the program's first year, students learned how to boil an egg, chop vegetables, and ultimately made a Nicoise salad at the end of term for their parents.

She said the afterschool program shows students "order and caring and discipline and that work is part of life."

TPS Seeking to Expand Community Hubs (The Blade, Ohio)
Despite funding cuts, Toledo Public Schools and United Way of Greater Toledo are trying to continue expanding the successful "community hubs" they created three years ago. The community hubs coordinate afterschool programs, medical and dental health programs, and social services to address the whole scope of problems that can inhibit a child's ability to learn. Last week leaders at United Way held a strategic planning session to develop a sustainable way to spread community hubs throughout Toledo. George Chapman, former chief executive of Health Care REIT Inc., has been pitching donations for the concept, saying this money would make a real difference and told The Blade, "Equal opportunity is what this country is about."

Product Information
- Thomas & Friends Take-n-Play Roaring Dino Run from Fisher-Price
- Part of the Thomas & Friends brand
- We recommend this product for ages 3 and up
- 2 AA batteries required TTPM trusts
What It Is
The Thomas & Friends Take-n-Play Roaring Dino Run playset is a two-in-one playset based on the new Thomas DVD Tale of the Brave. One side of the playset is the Clay Pits while the other side is the Sodor Museum. Kids place the included die-cast metal Thomas engine with cargo car on the platform and raise the platform to send Thomas over the bridge as the giant dinosaur fossil rears its head and roars. As Thomas passes under the bridge, he triggers more sound effects and a trap gate that releases three fossil bones. Place the bones in the cargo car and deliver them to the Sodor Museum, where the fossil bones can be inserted into the wall to complete the dinosaur exhibit. The playset easily folds up for storage or to take on the go.
Is It Fun?
This is an engaging Thomas playset for kids who have seen the Tale of the Brave and want to play out favorite scenes. But even if kids haven't seen the movie, they'll still love the surprise of the moving dinosaur head and the falling fossils. The sound effects help bring the imaginative play to life.
Who It's For
Thomas & Friends Take-n-Play Roaring Dino Run is for Thomas fans ages 3 and up.
What To Be Aware Of
Adult assembly is required, and it took us five minutes to put together. The instructions were fairly easy to follow. The folding instructions don't really show you where to store Thomas and the cargo car, but you can squeeze each one in each of the tunnels. Or you can carry/store Thomas with any other engines you may own in a separate container.
This playset includes two AA batteries for the in-store try-me features, and it's recommended that you replace them before you play for best results.
