A collection of relevant and timely media clips and resources.
Posted on January 20, 2011
Last week, we reported to you that two NRA-backed bills had already been filed in the Texas Senate: Senate Bill 321 by state Senator Glenn Hegar (R-Katy), legislation prohibiting employers from enforcing policies against the storage of lawfully-owned firearms in employees' private motor vehicles parked at work, and Senate Bill 354 by state Senator Jeff Wentworth (R-San Antonio), a bill to allow Concealed Handgun Licenses to protect themselves on college and university campuses. This week, state Representative Tim Kleinschmidt (R-Lexington) introduced House Bill 681, the House version of the parking lot bill, and state Representative Joe Driver (R-Garland) filed House Bill 750, the House version of the campus carry measure.Corporate policies that prohibit workers from safely storing their firearms inside their cars and trucks parked on company parking lots have the effect of denying employees the right to protect themselves during their commute to and from work every day. State laws and administrative policies disarming CHLs at institutions of higher education leave trained, law-abiding citizens vulnerable to a violent attack and have no deterrent effect on criminals.Big business interests and liberal higher education administrators have a tremendous amount of influence in the Texas Legislature - and they will vigorously oppose these bills. That's why it's critical that your state lawmakers hear from you! Please contact your state Representatives and urge them to sign on as co-authors to both HB 681 and HB 750. Contact information for state House members can be found at www.house.state.tx.us.

After a five-week run with the number one song in the country, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Shop" has finally abdicated its throne — thanks partly to a whole new chart formula.
As of this week, Billboard's Hot 100 now includes YouTube streams in its chart calculations, which means the king of the hill this week is Baauer's nonstop meme instigator "Harlem Shake."
Previously, the Hot 100 had used radio airplay, sales, and various forms of streaming through services like Spotify and Rhapsody to tabulate what the biggest song in the country was. Including YouTube numbers makes perfect sense, since in a way the online video service is the biggest streaming service available.
The extra numbers will undoubtedly mean a big boost for songs that do well with sales and streaming but can't quite break into radio. "Harlem Shake," for example, did an impressive 262,000 downloads last week, but is barely on satellite or terrestrial radio. It only scored a handful of impressions on radio, but its 103 million spins on YouTube easily confirm the track's ubiquity.
The new tabulations have reconfigured the chart success of other songs that have been bigger than their old chart positions would have suggested. READ FULL STORY

quote:Originally posted by swschrad:
get a budget $80 color inspection camera from a Harbor Freight store or the website, use a coupon to save 20% if it's not on sale. it will do the same job as a $300 Milwaukee. cut a small hole in the ceiling below, large enough to stick the camera flex snout and a long screwdriver into. check out the floor, using the screwdriver to poke and pry a little for rot.
you're going to have to take up that bathroom floor, most likely, but before you do, find out what's going on.
is there a home warranty plan that came with the purchase? if so, call the 800 number and let them check it out as well. those folks will NOT reimburse anybody for anything... they have to send their guy to check it, and use their guy to fix it.
this is a case where you really should walk the house with the inspector, point at stuff, and ask questions. "hey, what's with this floor? what's with this ceiling? can I poke this little toy fan in the outlets and see if they work without the plug falling out?" you can't fault the inspector for stuff that is not looked at. problem is, there are a number of them that do not have construction or remodelling experience, and unless a Rat Removal Brisbane runs across their shoes and dumps one, might even miss signs of infestation.
inspectors don't do a Holmes on a house, they note what they can reasonably see and rate it according to a professional checklist they get from an association.
but he should have seen those issues and wondered.
this might also be a case of misrepresentation of the house, which is lawyer food. carefully check the disclosure forms required of the seller and provided you from your agent. if "floor cracks" are noted, somebody should have checked that out.
good luck with this. there's a project in there someplace.

Blog Highlight – Carl Zimmer's Science Tattoo EmporiumPosted: June 28th, 2008 | Author: Mallory | Filed under: Blogging| No Comments »
Although I have none of my own (and this is when my friends would call me out for being all talk and no action about getting one), I've always been a little fascinated with people getting inked. My mom got her first and only tattoo sometime when I was in middle school, a goldfish on her ankle with some little blue bubbles, and asked me to be her tattoo artist. I also got a request from my sister to sketch a sunflower to use as a guide for her tattoo on her back. And now I've been sitting on my plans to get a fleur de lis somewhere on my ankle for about two years but just can't manage to take the plunge just yet.
But I digress. Instead of stepping up to the plate, I get a big kick out of seeing other people's tattoos, especially ones that take a step out of the box and hold a lot of personal meaning. I don't mean family names written in old english, or crosses, or tribal tramp stamps.
One of my favorite blogs recently is Carl Zimmer's Science Tattoo Emporium, which lets readers with a scientific background who've got ink to go with it share their photos and passions for their profession. I bet the tattoo artists who are approached by these guys get really excited to take a break from coi fish, lotus flowers and chinese symbols to bring these peices of art to life. Check some out.
Carl Zimmer is a "science essayist," and according to his own bio,
Zimmer contributes articles to the New York Times, as well as magazines including National Geographic, Discover, Scientific American, Science, and Popular Science. He also writes an award-winning blog, The Loom. From 1994 to 1998 Zimmer was a senior editor at Discover, where he remains a contributing editor.

TALK about work in progress! I finally got myself together and printed some of my NYFW photos that I taken throughout the years. Every time I look at them I smile – they just make me so absolutely happy. Every fashion week is special, with its own memories. For this project I made them b&w and high contrasts before developing. Not sure how I was thinking when I got four frames – obviously NOT! A pop by Ikea this weekend is more than necessary and at least six or more additional frames for the wall. OK, what do say looking OK? Now time for bed, xo

Looks amazing! Great job and love the high contrast on the black and white. Also love that side board/chest drawer. Beautiful!

Recorded throughout the month of April 2011, this live effort serves as the sophomore release from Boxcar Bandits, longtime stalwarts of the Denton music scene, following up debut Smells Like Grass. The band's Monday night residency at Dan's Silverleaf has become one of the better hootenannies in the area, and nothing more accurately represents the ensemble's "skunkgrass" than a recording in front of their faithful horde.
Indeed, the 14 songs presented here are recorded with such precision one starts to question whether or not the audience reactions were dubbed in later. The playing is so skillful on "Whiskey Before Breakfast," "Mixed Up Mess of a Heart" and "Fool's Prayer" that it serves as testament to both the instrumentalists and the sound engineer.
And while folk and alt-country can sometimes be played with too much skill, the picking and fiddling of Austin Smith, Andy Rogers and the rest of this group is always just ragged enough to engage instead of impress. Special kudos go to accordion player Ginny Mac and percussionist Grady Don Sandlin for adding details that actually embellish the songs and never serve simply as window dressing.

What works best about Live at Dan's is the lack of hayseed silliness that sometimes accompanies music of this nature. There are no "Aw, shucks" moments in the entire show, no embarrassing stabs at Hee Haw humor. As a matter of fact, the best use of humor is the album cover, a clever and spot-on send up of Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde. Even the inside photos mimic the album. Rarely does a band, local or otherwise, create an effort where the album design is as intelligent and unique as the music contained within.

for having been so quiet lately and for falling behind on my weekly posts. I have had a lot going on in my personal life the past few weeks. I am now in panic mode where everything needs to be done by yesterday......
You see....next Tuesday, at the pre butt-crack of dawn, K and I will be departing for a road trip to New Mexico to see my mom for a few days. When we come back we will be +1 because I'm bringing home my daughter!! And all of the stuff that we can fit into the car that belongs to her. The rest will be brought down by my mom in mid-June. So you see....I'm freaking right the hell out.
Here's the deal....my daughter hasn't lived with me full-time since she was 5 years old. That's almost 6 years ago. I have this idea in my head of what my child should be.....and well, she isn't that kid anymore. She doesn't need my help picking out her clothes, making her breakfast, helping her out with finding a TV program or anything. She's almost 11....she's a heck of a lot more independent now than she was 6 years ago. This excites me....as I get to meet and have a relationship with a completely new person; but it scares the hell out of me too. Granted...she's been here for vacations and school breaks...but that is so different from living here full time. There are going to be rules and stuff....and she's going to do her best to bend (if not completely break) every single one of them to see how far she can go with me. I'm sure this will make for more improved blog entries but at what length before I string her up on a broom??? LOL
So....we have the next few days to get the house in order. K is graciously giving her bedroom to the wee one and she will be moving into the den...which will be partitioned off with black-out curtains (eventually) for privacy. Not the most ideal situation....but I suppose it will work for now. K is the ever awesome night owl...so she's always the last one in bed anyways. It just makes sense. (Note....I will be continuing my search for a 3-bedroom home elsewhere) We haven't moved furniture around at all....and this morning I received a most distressing call from the ex saying that the bed I was going to get for the wee one (from a friend of his) had been stolen out of his storage unit (along with everything else in there and the one next to it). Well that damn near put me in a tailspin. I had my "moment" and then texted a very resourceful friend who usually can whip things that are needed for our group out of thin air. Lo and behold...she's got a mattress set in her garage that is perfectly acceptable to be used. I am one happy witch. :) And as an equally awesome bonus.....my godson's parents have a headboard and footboard that can be used on the bed. Can I just say....awesome :) And to top it off....K's mom just texted her to let us know she is helping with gas funds for our trip. This is a huge thing....as we are a broke pair. LOL
There are other things that I am dealing with in this mind of mine...but for now everything is taking the back burner until the wee one has been dealt with.

Smog Check and Car Inspection in New JerseyPage Overview
Required Vehicle Inspections
Motorists in New Jersey are required by the Motor Vehicle Commission to take their vehicles for an emissions inspection every 2 years (new cars can wait until they're 5 years old for their first inspection).
A few types of vehicles are exempt from inspections, such as those that run solely on electricity and certain diesel vehicles. For more information about green vehicle exemptions, visit our section on green driver incentives.
You have a choice whether to have your vehicle inspected at a State Inspection facility or at a private facility . Private facilities charge a fee for the service, but if you take your car to a state facility, the inspection is free.
If your car is registered in New Jersey, you must perform the emissions test in New Jersey at a New Jersey Inspection Station.
The On-Board Diagnostic Test
The On-board Diagnostic (ODB) test reads a computer system in your vehicle to identify engine-related problems that may result in increased emissions of harmful pollutants. If you maintain your vehicle when you are alerted by your OBD system, you can help improve the state's air quality.
The OBD system monitors your vehicle at all times, even when it is not being tested. If it detects something that might cause your vehicle to emit excessive harmful pollutants, the "Check Engine" light will illuminate on your dashboard. This could indicate a simple problem, such as a faulty spark plug that should be replaced before it creates a more serious problem, such as a damaged catalytic converter.
What Can Cause a Test Failure
Here are a few problems that could cause your vehicle to fail the emissions inspection test:
- Your "Check Engine" light comes on and stays on while you drive.
- Your "Check Engine" light does not come on briefly when you first start up your engine.
- Your gas cap is loose, causing your "Check Engine" light to come on.
If you experience either of the first two problems, bring your vehicle to a certified Emissions Repair Facility to have it brought up to standard before it is inspected. Taking this precaution could save you the trouble of having your vehicle fail the OBD test and going through re-inspection.
What to Do if Your Car Fails
If your car fails its emissions test, your state inspector will give you an Emissions Repair Form for your certified Emissions Repair Facility to fill out and a Vehicle Inspection Report to help your technician determine what caused the test failure. You should note that many private inspection facility are also certified Emissions Repair Facilities and might be able to perform both your repair and your reinspection.
In addition, remember to check to see whether the repairs are still covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Warranty repairs must be completed by an Emissions Repair Facility, which will have a certified technician on staff.
You may also perform the repairs yourself, but you must save (for your reinspection) the documentation for all equipment you replace and all parts you purchase.
Limitations on Required Repairs
If your vehicle fails the reinspection and you can provide receipts proving that you have spent a certain amount to reduce the vehicle's emissions, and that it passed an idle test, you could qualify for a waiver. To do this, you must take your vehicle to a Station Inspection facility , bringing your initial Vehicle Inspection Report and the new Vehicle Inspection Report given to you at the reinspection. You will also need to take your emissions-related repair receipts.
The waiver threshold includes the costs (parts and labor) to have the emissions-related problem repaired by a certified Emissions Repair Facility. Since certain air pollution equipment on your vehicle is required by federal law, repairing or replacing emissions system components that have been tampered with or are missing is not covered by the waiver.
Once repairs are completed, you must have your vehicle reinspected by a licensed inspector at a private or state inspection facility. Remember to bring all emissions-related receipts, your Emissions Repair Form, and the Vehicle Inspection Report with you.
Unfortunately, New Jersey does not offer extensions for reinspection.Local Smog Check Stations

NEW YORK -- The gap between U.S. and European crude futures narrowed Thursday on news that the much-watched Seaway pipeline expansion was close to entering service.
U.S. crude futures for February delivery was recently trading two cents lower at $93.10 per barrel, while its European counterpart, Brent futures, was trading 35 cents lower at $112.12.
The narrowing of the much-traded spread between the two benchmarks followed a news release Wednesday evening by the Seaway pipeline that said the planned expansion of the line from 150,000 bopd to 400,000 bopd would be complete by the end of next week. The expansion will allow larger volumes of crude to move from Cushing, Okla., to Gulf Coast refineries.
The expansion is seen as critical to alleviating a glut of oil at the U.S. trading hub of Cushing, where oil supplies have reached record levels. Kyle Cooper, analyst at IAF Advisors, said the spread between the two crude benchmarks should tighten further, although he noted that U.S. demand for crude remains very "tepid."
Analysts said Thursday' s retreat in oil prices constitutes profit-taking after crude settled at a three-month high on Wednesday. Oil rallied Wednesday after Washington lawmakers agreed on a tax measure to avert the so-called fiscal cliff. But by Thursday, more skepticism returned to the market over the uncertainty surrounding likely future fiscal spats in Washington.

Richards girls basketball team hopes to get on fast track
BY TIM O'BRIEN Correspondent December 25, 2013 9:43AM
Richards girls basketball coach Jeff Kortz
Taylor Sonichsen looks around practice, looks around the locker room and doesn't see a whole lot of height.
The senior guard on the Richards High School girls basketball team isn't worried, though. Sonichsen and the Bulldogs are ready for a challenge.
"We're going to try and work as a team," Sonichsen said. "We are not that tall, maybe not that strong, but as a team, we are pretty fast. We'll try and put pressure on defenses. There's still something at Richards."
Sonichsen and sophomore guard-forward Sydni Tears will be huge keys for a Richards squad coming off a disappointing 2012-13 campaign. The Bulldogs finished 10-15 overall, losing to T.F. North 53-43 in a Class 4A regional semifinal.
The team was 3-7 through its first 10 games this season, as of Dec. 18.
Gone for Richards is star guard Georgia Danos (now playing at Eastern Illinois), who did a little bit of everything for the squad, averaging 17.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and two steals per game last season. The Bulldogs also lost second-leading scorer Allison Stazak (7.7 points).
Ready to step into the spotlight in the backcourt, Sonichsen, who was averaging 5.9 points per game through 10 games, is prepared for the challenge that comes with being a senior.
"Playing with Georgia, she taught me a lot," Sonichsen said. "She showed what she expected of me as a leader, and now I can do that and be there. We'll do fine. I'm used to being a leader, and I'm excited for the year."
Sonichsen averaged a team-high three assists per game last season, and coach Jeff Kortz trusts his senior guard to get the offense going again this year.
Meanwhile, Tears — just a sophomore — was handling an increased workload well, leading the team with her averages of 14.2 points and 12.3 rebounds per game.
"Sydni will hopefully have some big-time boards and buckets for us," Sonichsen said.
Entering his 13th season as the girls basketball head coach, Kortz had piled up a 177-134 record. Last season was only the third time in Kortz's tenure the Bulldogs finished under .500.
Looking to turn things around, Kortz, who is also the quarterbacks coach for the football team, will count on team speed and depth.
"We're always looking to get over .500, get the girls into the system and contributing, that's the biggest thing," Kortz said. "We've got some players in young spots so we'll have some growing pains, but we'll get that confidence, maybe surprise some people."
Along with Sonichsen and Tears, Richards is looking to Carly Stazak (5.7 points, 3.1 assists) to play a key supporting role.
"We expect this group to do some good things," Kortz said. "We need some girls to step up, do some things, but whatever happens, it won't be for lack of trying."

Sun Valley travel trailers are built with the DuraLite Double Welded Aluminum Structure. It includes six-sided double welded aluminum frame construction in the walls, roof and floors with header framing around all doors, windows and baggage door openings. This strong, durable frame eliminates leaks and flexing. It is superior to the wood construction used in other travel trailers because wood frames can rot when exposed to water.
TPO Roofing
Bright white, mechanically applied, vacuum laminated TPO roof membrane is superior to rubber roof membranes that can bubble, loosen, mold, mildew or chalk. The TPO glue is spread evenly to create a surface that is cooler and won't mold or mildew. It also requires less maintenance than conventional roofs.
Construction materials are subject to market availability and may change without notice.

How to install multiple versions of php to work with nginx.
Currently using ispconfig 3 with nginx with php 5.3 on CentOS 6.
Now there is a requirement to run php 5.2 together with php 5.3.
Is there a way to do this using yum? If not, what other way can I get this done?
Your advice is greatly appreciated.
This is how it works on Ubuntu and Debian:
mkdir /opt/php-5.2.17
Thank you very much for sharing this.
fpm start error
[root@www php-5.2.17]# /etc/init.d/php-5.2.17-fpm start
Starting php-fpm Starting php_fpm Jan 25 04:26:37.161305 [ERROR] fpm_unix_conf_wp(), line 124: please specify user and group other than root, pool 'default'
................................... failed
You must specify a user and group for the default pool.
I tried to install php 5.2.17 alonside default php 5.4 on a Nginx webserver
My problem now is, that the php-fpm pools in php 5.2 are not read. I found that the configuration files in 5.2 are in XML while 5.3 and up use ini-format.
Is there any way to tell ispConfig to create pool configs in XML?
I also tried to install 5.2 in fastcgi mode, but unfortunately latest ispconfig version has dropped fastcgi support for nginx.
Can someone give some advice hot to solve this?

Intel's Innovation Hydrates Chandler, AZ
The supply and distribution of water has ripple effects on our environment, national security, and economy. Even more, the cost of repairing water infrastructure swells with each passing day.
The U.S. Government Accountability Office estimates that up to $1 trillion must be invested nationwide to modernize and secure drinking water and wastewater systems over the next two decades. With each passing day the cost of repairing the infrastructure increases.
The business community is stepping up to the plate. Intel's Ocotillo campus in Chandler, Arizona, (pictured) recycles and reclaims up to 75% of its water for reuse. The company also funded and spearheaded an advanced reverse osmosis water treatment facility in partnership with the City of Chandler.
Through implementation of this strategy, Intel and Chandler have returned billions of gallons of drinking quality water for reuse since the project's start. This project shows the kind of innovation it will take to achieve water solutions for the long-term.

Cornish College of the Arts Raises $181,500 to Launch the Sergei P. Tschernisch Endowed Scholarship
April 14, 2011
Cornish College of the Arts honored the upcoming retirement of President Sergei P. Tschernisch on Sunday, April 10 at ACT Theatre, establishing the Sergei P. Tschernisch Endowed Scholarship Fund by raising $181,500.
The evening featured performances by Broadway star Liz Callaway and Cornish alumni Diana Huey (TH '08) and Don Darryl Rivera (TH '06) backed by Cornish theater students, and tributes by Kurt Beattie and Carlo Scandiuzzi (Artistic Director and Executive Director, ACT Theatre), Cornish Board chair John Gordon Hill, and Richard E.T. White, chair of the Cornish Theater Department.
More than 170 Cornish supporters gathered to celebrate President Tschernisch's 17 years of leadership; during his presidency, he orchestrated a true Cornish renaissance. His vision has resulted in the growth of the student body, the creation of the new campus in the Denny Triangle neighborhood, and elevated Cornish to national prominence as a premier college of the visual and performing arts. He has set the bar for academic and artistic excellence, and will leave a legacy as the most influential leader of the College since Nellie Cornish founded the school.
The fundraising goal for The Sergei P. Tschernisch Endowed Scholarship Fund is $250,000.
Additional contributions to fund may be made online at http://www.cornish.edu/about/advancement, by mail to Office of Institutional Advancement, Cornish College of the Arts, 1000 Lenora Street, Seattle, WA 98121 or by calling 206.726.5064.

About Cornish College of the Arts
Cornish College of the Arts is nationally recognized as a premier college of the visual and performing arts offering Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees in dance, theater, art, design and performance production, and a Bachelor of Music degree. A pioneer in arts education, Cornish College of the Arts sprang from the remarkable vision of Nellie Cornish, a woman determined to cultivate the arts in Seattle when it was scarcely more than a frontier town. Her philosophy of educating the artist through exposure to all the arts was progressive at the time, and continues to be innovative today.

Leadership and the Next 100 Years
In early February, Girl Scouts of the USA launched its Year of the Girl campaign and the "ToGetHerThere" cause -- a multi-year effort to bring attention to girls' leadership issues. The ultimate goal of the campaign: to create gender-balanced leadership in one generation.
At Girl Scouts, we've been helping girls discover their inner leader for 100 years. But, outside the supportive Girl Scout environment, girls face so many discouraging messages that many of them opt out of pursuing their ambitions and never dare to believe in their potential. In the next 100 years, Girl Scouts wants to change that for good, not just for girls who are Scouts, but for every girl.
One way we can make a difference is by getting others involved in our cause, and having conversations about what holds girls back, as well as what helps them succeed. Ask them to sign the ToGetHerThere pledge to become informed, speak up, and invest in girls.
On February 7, 2012, Girl Scouts of Alaska did just that with Honorary Troop 49, Alaska's female legislators and commissioners. Troop 49 met with Girl Scouts in Juneau at the State Capitol and spent more than an hour talking about leadership.
Events like these, that give girls the chance to meet women leaders and talk openly about issues that matter, are what Girl Scouts is all about. It's why we're making a difference, and why I know that our next 100 years will be just as successful as our last 100.
Read our blog for more about the leadership conversation in Juneau. And, if you haven't already, take a moment to sign the ToGetHerThere pledge.
Yours in Girl Scouting,
Marge Stoneking, CEO
100 Years of Girl Scouts: Celebrate With Us!
We have SO MANY exciting events planned, we decided to create a new tab on our website to help keep track of everything that's going on. Check it out at this easy-to-remember URL: www.girlscoutsalaska.org/100.

- Girl Scouts filled the stands at the Aces hockey game for Girl Scout Night on February 25, which was also the first day of cookie booth sales. A small group of Girl Scouts dressed in vintage Girl Scout uniforms and paraded on the ice at first intermission, with signs depicting each decade of Girl Scouts.
- In honor of our 100th annivesary, Girl Scouts was the recipient of ticket sales proceeds for the Rage City Roller Girls bout against Fairbanks on March 3. If you were at the event and didn't get your patch, come by the council office to pick it up.
Here are some highlights of events yet to come:

Silver and Bronze Awards
Bronze Awards
Congratulations to Eagle River Junior Girl Scout Troop 916 successfully completed their Bronze Award. Several of the girls have pets they've adopted or rescue, so they decided this was a community need they wanted to support.
The girls used fleece material donations to make pet beds, baked pet treats, made cat toys, and sold bandanas at a holiday bazaar and in their school's teacher lounge. They donated the dog beds and pet toys and treats to the local SPCA, along with more than $174 they received in sales and donations.
Troop leader Chris Kelliher noted that her troop members are: Lily, Chloe, Rachel and Tia.
Silver Awards
Congratulations to Girl Scout Troop 642 in Eagle River for completing their Silver Award Project!
The first requirement for earning the Girl Scout Silver Award is completing one Cadette Journey. The troop completed the "It's Your World—Change It!" aMaze! journey.
To complete their Silver Award, the troop first spent 10 months identifying issues important to them, exploring the community around them and developing leadership skills. They had to answer questions about those issues, why they were important to each individual girl, discover how those issues effect their community, and figure out a way for each girl to get involved in order to implement their project. They had to make community contacts and find partner organizations to help implement their project. The girls talked with project advisors, troop mentors, neighbors, religious leaders, teachers and local community sponsors and explored the internet to identify what projects they might be able to help with.
After discovering how many projects were available, the girls spent countless hours strategizing and narrowing down project ideas to those that would work for the group. Several smaller projects were started and completed as a means to determine what one project would work best for the troop and community.
Community member, Cynthia Juettner, approached troop members in July of 2010 and asked if they would be interested in assisting with "Trick or Treat in the Heat" for the Eagle River community. Girls sat down and discussed the possible supplies they would need, how they could help the organization, how to get others involved and if this project could be sustainable. Girls went to the computer, community and other news sources to research the project before they committed to it.
After deciding to take the project on, the girls were tasked with the following:
- Designing and creating posters and street signs that would last for several years
- Putting up and taking down these signs on the day of the event
- Monitoring street and pedestrian traffic during the event
- Securing entertainment for the kick-off block party
- Set up for entertainment
- Hand out candy at the homes of event organizers
- Collect trash around the neighborhood after the event
- Promotion of event to family, friends and neighbors
While the troop did not officially fundraise for the event itself, they used teamwork and volunteerism to support the first Eagle River Trick or Treat in the Heat event. As a result of their contributions, more than 600 children and families attended the event, and all the proceeds were donated to support Ronald McDonald House, Hospice of Anchorage and the Make A Wish Foundation. In Eagle River, over $7000 was raised this year, adding to the more than $33, 000 raised at all three Anchorage bowl events.
Thank you to Troop 642 Adult Volunteers: Laura de Mander, Melissa Papasodora, Lisa Sandefur and Brenda Fogleman, and Project Advisor Cynthia Juettner and Laura de Mander.
Congratulations to Troop 642 and its members: Madeline Corbett, Emma de Mander, Hailey Sandefur, Brooke Meredith, Cathryn Papasodora, Skye Spindler, and Kayla Fogleman!

Sorry, Guitar Hero: We still love you, but we think it's time we started seeing other franchises. Opting for a full band setup in Guitar Hero World Tour was a smart move and adding all those convenient features like Party Play to Guitar Hero 5 made all kinds of sense, but this time, it's just not enough. Your ridiculous new story-driven career mode fails to hide the fact that Warriors of Rock is essentially just a dressed up version of the same game we've been playing for years.
If anything, Quest Mode feels like the easy way out. Rather than providing a legitimately fresh new experience, it simply attempts to distract us with cutscenes and a Gene Simmons voiceover. But underneath the cheesy, occasionally fun but ultimately uninspired and forgettable adventure, we're still forced to slog through a linear progression of songs, earning enough stars to unlock the next venue and so on just like most of the other Guitar Heroes.
There's nothing wrong with this formula per se, except for that fact that we're pretty sick of it at this point. It doesn't help that the good old five-button, scrolling note gameplay hasn't changed even slightly since… well, ever. The gameplay is still fun, (because it's the same and it's always been fun), but that's a bit of a hollow victory when you're hungry for actual change.
The only apparent difference this time around—in keeping with the whole rock 'n' roll fantasy adventure theme—is that each characters possesses a unique power, like a 6x multiplier (as opposed to the usual 4x) or the ability to harvest Star Power with every 10-note streak played. This sounds like a fine idea in theory, but in practice, it doesn't change the experience in any meaningful way and most of the powers feel totally contrived.
More than anything else, the powers serve to create confusion. In past games, the maximum number of stars we could possibly earn from a single song was six. Now, thanks to these powers, we can potentially earn dozens. But since stars are just a completely made up measurement, this doesn't actually feel rewarding at all. Add to that the fact that the stars we earn in Quest Mode are entirely separate from those we earn in quickplay (which, fun aside, actually has two distinct types of stars of its own) and we just start to get massively confused.
Aside from having stars in its eyes, however, the revamped Quickplay + actually proves to be the game's most successful "new" feature. Its social sharing tools and persistent online reputation—built through consistent shredding—are legitimately cool. Unfortunately, the 13 ambient challenges it provides for each song are all things we've seen before: "Hit a certain number of note-streaks, hammer-ons, chords…" Boring. After a while, they actually start to feel like work.
A totally slammin' track list might have made the challenges a bit more palatable, but frankly, the song choices are a lot more strange than slammin'. We didn't particularly care for the bands we'd never heard before and simply couldn't figure out why certain tracks had been selected for the bands we already knew. Who would honestly pick "The Theme from Spider-Man" as the lone Ramones track? Even more bizarre, the game features quite a few big hits that have been re-recorded by the bands that made them famous in the first place. Why trade the classic recordings that everyone grew up listening to for digital recordings of a group that's now twenty years past its music-playing prime?
The track list also offers little depth, but this may actually be good news for all the amateur Yngwie Malmsteens out there. The last portion of the game is a gauntlet of fast, riff-heavy metal that's sure to keep shredders busy for months. We're a little worried about our friends trying to sing these tracks, but Guitar Hero is clearly just trying to stay true to its roots. And to be fair, many of the note charts that accompany these songs are seriously challenging and a blast to play.
Since Warriors of Rock is still arguably as fun as any previous Guitar Hero, it's difficult for us to condemn it entirely, especially since most of its new ideas don't actively make the game worse. But the new ideas, in additional to being patently lame, fail to add anything. As a result, we're stuck with a stale experience that left us longing for something more…and wondering why anyone still listens to Rush.
Personal aside: Including the famous CBGB venue feels like a desperate grab for legitimacy. Problem is, it doesn't fit with the Simmons-narrated rock 'n' roll fantasy theme at all and therefore comes off as little more than a cynical ploy for street cred. Plus, the game eventually undermines this shameless pandering by having supposed "punk rocker" Johnny Napalm slam a brand-name Coke as he walks through the door in what has to be one of the most oblivious in-game marketing stunts to date. True, none of this affects the quality of the gameplay, but it does make Warriors of Rock very difficult to like if you really care about and follow music.

Fox 5, WCBS-TV and WCBS radio ran segments from the event with Lewis at Intrepid. Fox 5 also put the story up on their website - links are below for your reference.
Fox 5 TV: http://www.myfoxny.com/story/18768847/lewis-colam-rows-1400-miles-from-miami-to-new-york [1]
The front page of the New York Times online featured an interview with Nobel laureate Dr. Paul Greengard by journalist Gina Kolata on his recent breakthrough Alzheimer's research finding. In the article, Kolata also interviewed Dr. Paul Aisen from the University of California, San Diego, Dr. Rudolph Tanzi, from Harvard Medical School, and Dr. Sangram S. Sisodia, from the University of Chicago, in "Finding Suggests New Target for Alzheimer's Drugs", asking how this research will impact future Alzheimer's treatment. Click here for the full article [2]
August 8, 2010, WPIX, Channel 11 – Marvin Scott interviews Dr. Barry Reisberg discussing Alzheimer's disease and subjective cognitive impairment on "News Closeup". Marvin Scott [3] is the recipient of seven prestigious Emmy awards for journalistic achievement.
Dr. Paul Greengard used his Nobel Prize honorarium to fund the Pearl Meister Greengard Prize, an award for women scientists named in honor of Greengard's mother, Pearl Meister Greengard, who died giving birth to him. The award is to combat discrimination against women in science, since, as Greengard observed, "Women are not yet receiving awards and honors at a level commensurate with their achievements."
When Carol Greider [4], won the 2009 Nobel Prize in science, Paul Greengard felt like a proud father. 'This is explicitly one of our goals, to help women win the Nobel Prize and I never dreamed it would come so soon,' Greengard said."
The campaign, "It's in Your Hands", will run through September 1 with 100% of the money raised going directly to support this new research. To join in this campaign, supporters should go to the website: www.ALZinfo.org/team [5]. Facebook and MySpace users will also be able to add donation badges to their profiles.
Oprah's O magazine listed us as the top charity to give to for Alzheimer's disease, in 2007:

The two primary information resources with which most people are familiar for security emergency response are the Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Center (CERT/CC) at Carnegie-Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute and the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) run by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The CERT/CC has long been a source of valuable information for public and private sector organizations seeking information on current and former security threats and vulnerabilities. Communication with CERT is two-way, as security researchers and others send information to CERT about the latest observations from the field, and others look to CERT for up-to-date information about new threats against which protective action should be taken. US-CERT serves as the focal point of communication for U.S. federal agencies that experience security breaches or other incidents; federal guidelines mandate that such incidents (or suspected incidents) be reported to US-CERT within one hour of their discovery. Because of this reporting process, US-CERT has tended to emphasize incident response to known exploits and incidents, while directing agencies to NIST or other sources for guidance on preventive controls. The director of US-CERT announced this week that the organization would shift its focus aware from incident response towards prevention. There's no question that over-emphasizing incident response in the absence of security planning, risk assessment, and preventive controls can leads to a situation in which an organization is always one or more steps behind the attackers, always playing "catch-up" or cleaning up after an intrusion. It seems very risky however to openly de-emphasize incident response in the way that US-CERT Director Mischel Kwon does when she says "Incident response should be rare. Forensics should not be the norm." She needs to look no further than her own organization, which reports more than a three-fold increase from 2006 to 2008 in the number of security incidents reported by federal agencies, to know that incident response and forensics remain important functions in any security program intended to improve the security posture of an organization. Better and more consistently applied preventive measures, including more robust penetration testing, will hopefully help stem the exponential growth of security incidents. However, until federal (and non-federal) organizations get a better handle on how the bad guys are getting to them, effective incident response will remain a critical componet of information security programs.

Balancing prevention and response

Towards a more objective basis for establishing trust in information exchange
The emphasis on electronic information exchange among public sector agencies and private sector organizations has increased attention on both technical and non-technical barriers to sharing data among different organizational entities. In many ways, efforts to overcome the non-technical barriers have fallen short of their intended objectives, with the result that would-be information exchange participants who can exchange data choose not to do so because of concerns about how appropriate security and privacy requirements will be honored when the participants in the exchange are not subject to the same or comparable constraints. Some initial attempts to rationalize these differences have focused on information security controls, especially those applied at the system level. This approach cannot arrive at a mutually acceptable level of trust among diverse entities, because information system security drivers and requirements are too subjective. A more effective approach would focus on the data being exchanged, and the privacy and other content-based rules and regulations that apply to it, using these objective requirements to determine both procedural and technical safeguards needed to meet the requirements and provide the necessary basis of trust. Further development of this concept and a privacy requirement-driven framework to support it are key focus areas of our current research.

Background When family meetings are conducted with the goal of helping a patient/family cope with a shift in goals from life-sustaining treatments to a more comfort focused approach, communication can break down. This Fast Fact reviews the common causes of conflict.
Recognizing Conflict When the patient/surrogates are not psychologically ready to accept the limits of medical interventions or the finality of the impending death, you will hear comments such as these: There must be some mistake; I know there are other treatments available; We want a second opinion; We believe in miracles; She is fighter, she will never give up; There must be something (medically) you can do. Health professionals may interpret these statements as 'denial.' But the term denial, by itself, is insufficient to help the clinician understand what is causing the impasse. Understanding the cause is essential in planning an effective strategy to move beyond the conflict to meet the needs of the patient and surrogates.
Information Gaps
Treatment Goal Confusion
Family/Team dynamics
Relationship between the Clinician and the Patient/Surrogate
All of these issues represent a degree of conflict and will need to be addressed before proceeding to set end-of-life goals. See Fast Facts #183,184 for additional discussion on managing conflict.
Debriefing Conflicts are stressful for all involved health professionals. It is helpful to debrief the process - what went well, what could have been improved, and - most importantly - addressing the emotional reaction and needs of the care team. See Fast Fact # 203 on managing clinician emotions.

Book Review: Down River
By Sandy Amazeen Oct 30, 2007, 6:02 GMT
Five years ago Adam Chase was acquitted of murder during a trial sensationalized by Janice, his stepmothers testimony as she took the stand against him. Adams father along with most of the community chose to believe Janice forcing Adam to leave Salisbury, N.C. and rebuild his life elsewhere. Long time friend Danny Faiths phone call prompts Adams return to the community that cast him out. Adams arrives to only to have his car vandalized, get soundly beaten up by thugs and find Danny missing, all within hours of his arrival. The only bright spot in Adams grim homecoming is Robin Alexander, his old love interest who chose to remain in Salisbury when he left town. The residents of Salisbury are now deeply divided by a proposed power facility that promises to make some landowners incredibly wealthy but Adams father, who refuses to sell is stalling the land sales. Emotions run high on both sides of the issue and thats just for starters as Adam begins digging into long buried secrets. Old bitterness and resentments boil to the surface as complex family ties, betrayals and murder tear families apart.
Harts dynamite second novel maintains an authentic small town feel, a number of subplots augmenting the main storyline and a credible tension level throughout. The many characters are well conceived with the lines between protagonists and antagonists blurring just enough to be interesting. Although bitterness and betrayal remain consistent themes throughout, Hart avoids being depressing by leaving avenues for forgiveness and growth open to those most in need of it.
