Taylor Swift Dominates The Digital World
Only 21 years old and easily one of the most successful stars in music, [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Taylor Swift[/lastfm] continues her dominance by having the most singles downloaded since her amazing career started!
[photogallerylink id=39852]She was named the top-selling digital singles artist of any genre by raking in 22.5 million single downloads over her career. Lady Gaga followed up Taylor with 20 million, then Rihanna with 19 million and the Black Eyed Peas with 17.5 million. Even with those other artists trailing so close Taylor already has locked down the honor of "the artist with the most digital downloads for the first decade of the new millennium"! This in itself is an impressive feat figuring her debut album didn't drop until 2006! She also finished 2010 as one of the richest … she sold more than 4 million albums in the year alone!
[photogallerylink id=44196]"[I have] a five-minute conversation with myself about if a [sales] number really defines this piece of art that I've created and what that means, and what the number's going to be," she tells Billboard. "I try to predict what it's going to be, and then I realize that I can't predict what it's going to be, and then I sit there and say something to myself like, 'Well, you're happy today. Enjoy this and be proud of the music that you've made.'"
Taylor brings her Speak Now Tour to Tampa on November 12th!

Most childhood drownings occur in swimming pools. When visiting public or private pools, make sure that your children are supervised closely and that they are familiar with pool safety rules.
If you have a pool at your home, use these tips to help prevent drowning tragedies:1
Hot tubs and spas often are an overlooked drowning danger for children. Drowning can result from unintentional falls into the water, from hair that becomes tangled in drains or jets, or from body parts becoming trapped.
Consider keeping hot tubs and spas off-limits to young children. Talk to your doctor before allowing children younger than age 5 to use them.
If you allow children in a hot tub or spa, prevent a drowning incident by taking proper precautions and talking to your children about potential hazards. The following recommendations can help protect your children from an accident or drowning related to hot tubs and spas:2
If you have a pool or hot tub where you live, find out if the drains and other parts meet current safety standards. Check with the place where you bought the pool or hot tub, or ask a pool operator.

The last time Sinzu was in the news, it was because his daughter, Nejei had just graduated from kindergarten at her school in the US. Although we've yet to hear new music from him in quite a while, the again US-based rapper decided to flaunt his new money on his Instagram page. He put up the photo with the caption:
"meet NUMBERS.. Finna throw some black shoes on.. Dats how im comin.. SMG sh**…"
He just made two new purchases of luxury Mercedes Benz cars and uploaded the below photo on his Instagram page moments after, with the caption:
"New kids on d block… Pull up, Hop up, im ridin round n gettin it.. SMGsh**"
A few days before that, he had been uploading photos of his money and his escapades at strip clubs.
Here are some of the photos from his Instagram page.
Now in the United states, Sinzu has been very quiet on the Nigerian music scene and as a result, a lot of word from the grapevine insists that he has found himself other means of income other than his music career.

When socializing with her mother's friends, Tudor was usually
introduced as "Rosamund Tudor's daughter, Tasha", leading others to
believe that her last name was Tudor. Liking the sound of it, she
adopted the name and eventually changed her surname legally following
her second divorce. She married Thomas McCready in 1938. Tasha and Thomas McCready purchased a large old farm in Webster, New Hampshire, where four children, Bethany, Seth, Thomas, and Efner, were raised. Her first story, Pumpkin Moonshine,
was published in 1938, as a gift for a young niece of her husband. They
were divorced in 1961, and her children legally changed their names
from McCready to Tudor. A later marriage, to Allan John Woods, lasted
only a brief time.
Tasha Tudor illustrated nearly one hundred books, the last being Corgiville Christmas, released in 2003. Several were collaborative works with a New Hampshire friend Mary Mason Campbell. Her son Seth built the replication of friends' New Hampshire house while they lived in Marlboro, Vermont and lived next door with his family. It is documented in Drawn from New England, and in The Private World of Tasha Tudor. Mother and son worked closely on family endeavors.

Police have identified a woman found dead outside her family's Lakeville home Tuesday as 32-year-old Andrea Marker.
Family members called police at 3:52 p.m. after they found Marker outside the home on the 17500 block of Illinois Court.
Police say Marker's body may have been lying on the sidewalk in front of the home for 20 hours.
Just a few days earlier police were called to the home for a domestic disturbance. Marker ended up in the hospital. "She had been consuming alcohol, there were other fears of self harm... in the investigation it was determined she needed to be placed on a mental health welfare hold," Lakeville Interim Police Chief John Kornmann said.
Lakeville Police are treating Marker's death as "suspicious" until a cause is determined.
Police are not sure if the frigid temperatures are a factor in Marker's death, but they did notice evidence of possible hypothermia. They say exposure is their primary focus at this time.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office is conducting an autopsy.

Richard N. Haass is Director of Foreign Policy Studies at the Brookings Institution. He was Chairman of a Council on Foreign Relations study group on economic sanctions. This article is adapted from his forthcoming book, Economic Sanctions and American Diplomacy.See more by this author
Economic sanctions are fast becoming the United States' policy tool of choice. A 1997 study by the National Association of Manufacturers listed 35 countries targeted by new American sanctions from 1993 to 1996 alone. What is noteworthy, however, is not just the frequency with which sanctions are used but their centrality; economic sanctions are increasingly at the core of U.S. foreign policy.
Sanctions -- predominantly economic but also political and military penalties aimed at states or other entities so as to alter unacceptable political or military behavior -- are employed for a wide range of purposes. The United States, far more than any other country, uses them to discourage the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles, promote human rights, end support for terrorism, thwart drug trafficking, discourage armed aggression, protect the environment, and oust governments. To accomplish these ends, sanctions may take the form of arms embargoes, foreign assistance reductions and cutoffs, export and import limitations, asset freezes, tariff increases, import quota decreases, revocation of most favored nation (MFN) trade status, votes in international organizations, withdrawal of diplomatic relations, visa denials, cancellation of air links, and credit, financing, and investment prohibitions. Even U.S. state and local governments are introducing economic sanctions. Dozens have adopted "selective purchasing laws" that prohibit public agencies from purchasing goods and services from companies doing business with such countries as Burma and Indonesia.

ANAHEIM – Firefighters cut back the roof of a truck to free its driver after a crash on the 57 freeway.
The crash took place in the northbound lanes north of East Katella Avenue around 1:15 p.m. Friday, closing the carpool and left lanes until about 2:30 p.m.
The woman had been driving a Toyota Tacoma in the right lane when she lost control, driving across all lanes of traffic into the center divider, CHP Officer Centeno said. A Toyota Tundra then rammed into the crashed truck, he said. The Tacoma tipped onto its passenger side, with the driver side smashed in, leaving the woman trapped.
Centeno said several witnesses stopped and attemped to free her before firefighters arrived. Firefighters cut open the top of the truck and then peeled back the roof to get her out.
The woman and the male driver of the Tundra were taken to local hospitals, Centeno said. Their conditions are unknown.

INDIANAPOLIS | Overturning a common law dating back to the English Magna Carta of 1215, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Hoosiers have no right to resist unlawful police entry into their homes.Seriously, were my family's votes the only thing keeping this state from going totally insane? Did three liberal people moving plunge the state into complete madness? Aaauuuggghhhhh!!
In a 3-2 decision, Justice Steven David writing for the court said if a police officer wants to enter a home for any reason or no reason at all, a homeowner cannot do anything to block the officer's entry.
If that article isn't upsetting enough to you, you should check out Feministe's summary of the effects of Indiana's new abortion laws and defunding of Planned Parenthood.

Russia has voiced disappointment with US President Barack Obama's decision to cancel his Moscow summit with President Vladimir Putin, but said it remains ready to co-operate on bilateral and international issues.
If they postpone or cancel meetings over the refusal to extradite one person, international relations will freeze
Vladimir Zhirinovsky, Leader of Liberal Democratic Party
Putin's foreign affairs adviser, Yuri Ushakov, told reporters on Wednesday that Obama's decision reflected the US' inability to develop relations with Moscow on an "equal basis".
At the same time, he said the invitation to the US president to visit Moscow next month still stands and added that "Russian representatives are ready to continue working together with American partners on all key issues on the bilateral and multilateral agenda".
The cancellation of the summit underscores US dismay over Russia's harbouring of National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden, as well as disagreements on other key issues, such as missile defence and Russia's human rights record.
Snowden, an NSA systems analyst accused of leaking highly secretive details about the agency's surveillance programs, was stuck in the transit zone of a Moscow airport for more than a month before Russia granted him asylum for one year last week.
Ushakov reiterated the Kremlin's argument that Russia had no choice but to offer asylum to Snowden in the absence of a bilateral extradition agreement.
"This decision is clearly linked to the situation with former agent of US special services Snowden, which hasn't been created by us," Ushakov said in a conference call with reporters.
He sought to turn the tables on the US, accusing it of stonewalling on Russia's proposal to sign a bilateral extradition agreement.
Alexei Pushkov, the Kremlin-connected chairman of the foreign affairs committee in the lower house of parliament, said that cancelling the summit would deprive Moscow and Washington of a chance to ease the current tensions.
"The US administration decided to pause on a negative note, but that won't solve problems," Pushkov said, according to the ITAR-Tass news agency.
He called the move "irresponsible".
Other lawmakers in the Kremlin-controlled parliament were even less diplomatic.
"If they postpone or cancel meetings over the refusal to extradite one person, international relations will freeze," Vladimir Zhirinovsky, leader of Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, was quoted as saying by RIA Novosti state news agency.
"Obama's decision is a show of disrespect to Russia."
Joseph Dresen, a programme associate at the Woodrow Wilson Center's Kennan Institute, told Al Jazeera that at the end of the day Snowden should not have a major impact on US-Russia relations and that business will be conducted as usual.
"Every country makes its own decision over who they extradite," he said. "Both sides of the table have misplaced their hands a little bit."

Guest column by Gary White, Director, Society of Physics Students
Staff at ACP who stopped to peer into the large conference room on Friday, July 22, could see that it was not a business-as-usual day. Hot Wheels tracks adorned the floor with gold-colored mystery boxes adjacent; college students paced excitedly, busy with last minute preparations; tables were filled with a variety of demonstration equipment and colored flyers: the stage was set for the 2011 SPS Intern presentations. Covering topics from government hearings about NASA funding to reliability-testing of solid state devices to introducing the discoveries of Rutherford to the public, this year's crop of interns captivated the audience with brief summaries of their activities and accomplishments of the summer.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) continued to show its strong support of the intern program (despite the federal budget uncertainties of late!), with five representatives making the trip to ACP from Gaithersburg, MD, to hear Heather Petroccia and Binayak Kandel talk about their work determining breaking points for electronic devices. Other highlights of the morning were several hands-on science activities prepared for the 2011 SPS SOCK (Science Outreach Catalyst Kit) and for APS PhysicsQuest. Interns introduced large-scale mock-ups of Rutherford's gold foil experiment (Erin Grace, Amanda Palchak) and an interesting thermodynamics demonstration in which a glass is placed over a lit candle surrounded by a pool of water (Moriel Schottlender). Fidele Bingwa revisited the Rutherford theme by sharing details of his work on a new web exhibit that will be featured on the AIP Center for the History of Physics website.
While regaling the group with tales of their adventures on Capitol Hill, the Mather policy interns (Courtney Lemon and Cabot Zabriskie) admitted being surprised at how hard members of Congress work, and how seriously they take their jobs. These positions are funded by the John and Jane Mather Foundation for Science and the Arts, having been initiated by his Nobel Prize winnings and sustained now for a second year. Courtney worked in Congressman Rush Holt's office (the only physicist currently in Congress) and Cabot worked for the U.S. House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. Capitol Hill was also on Mahmuda Badhan's mind as she revealed exciting new ideas for Physics Success Stories, one page leave-behinds for scientists making visits to Congress.
The final presentation of the day was a report by Anish Chakrabarti about organizing "science cafés," in partnership with WGBH and NOVA, centered around a new NOVA series to air in the fall called Fabric of the Cosmos," based on Brian Greene's new book. A science café is an informal presentation and Q&A session by a practicing scientist held in a relaxed setting, like a restaurant, coffeehouse, bar, or bookstore. SPS has garnered support to assist 30+ local SPS chapters, many in rural areas, to host their own cafes. The science café kick-off occurred just the evening before (Thursday, July 21), and featured physicist and science spokesperson James Gates of the University of Maryland. Gates addressed the theme "String theory…the universe…and the theory of everything" to a full house at the R.F.D. Washington bar in downtown D.C.
Thanks go to Kendra Rand, SPS program coordinator, for making the intern program a continued success. The interns have just a few more days to wrap up their summer projects. The SPS staff and I thank them for their hard work and wish them the best in their continued education.
A large number of phenomena in plasma physics are inherently three-dimensional, but these phenomena often are not studied because the computational power for 3-D is not generally available. Now Physics of Plasmas has published an article that reviews several experiments in which full 3-D data was acquired. The article by Walter Gekelman and his colleagues, "The many faces of shear Alfvén waves," and was first presented to an enthusiastic audience at the 2010 APS Division of Plasma Physics Meeting.
Physics of Plasmas is pleased to present the article both in print and online. So that more people can view the impressive 3-D media in this article, AIP has made the article freely available on its website. In addition to movies, the online version contains a host of supplemental images, including stereo images, not included in the print version.
For more than 50 years, Physics of Plasmas has published research from the leading edge of this critical field. Now, with this move into 3-D publishing, the journal is also at the forefront of online publishing technology.
AIP has launched a new media relations tool, a twice-monthly tip sheet for reporters called "Physics News Highlights." This tip sheet will augment AIP's current practice of issuing news releases on compelling journal research. By providing a platform for shorter summaries, Physics News Highlights will expand the number of papers AIP can highlight to reporters. It also will include other important information for reporters, such as upcoming meetings, AIP Science Communication Awards, and the latest features in Physics Today. You can access the inaugural issue on the AIP News site, under Research News.
Both Melville and College Park locations will be holding school supply drives to benefit low-income families. The Publishing Center's drive is through the Family Service League of Bay Shore. Staff members are requested to bring donations of new backpacks, notebooks, pens, pencils, crayons, erasers, glue, scissors, file folders, rulers, etc., to Human Resources through August 12. ACP's drive supports students of Ridgecrest Elementary School. See the pantries for the list of requested supplies; the donation box is located in the ACP lobby. Monetary contributions are also welcome and can be handed to any member of the ACP events committee. The ACP drive runs through August 29.
From the recent AAPT press release: The traveling members of the U.S. Physics Team competed against 393 of the most talented young physics students from 84 countries during the 42nd International Physics Olympiad, held mid-July in Bangkok, Thailand. They brought home two gold and three silver medals. The gold medalists are Brian Zhang of Henry M. Gunn High School in Palo Alto, CA, and Ante Qu of West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South in Princeton Junction, NJ. Zhang placed 8th in the overall competition. The silver medalists are Lucy Chen of Ames High School in Ames, IA; Andrew Das Sarma of Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, MD; and Eric Speiglan of Naperville North High School in Naperville, IL. Thanks to the Member Societies for their financial support, and congratulations to AAPT for running this successful program! For more information, read the full release.

"A black, round spot-and that is all;
And such a speck our earth would be
If he who looks upon the stars
Through the red atmosphere of Mars
Could see our little creeping ball
Across the disk of crimson crawl
As our sister planet see."
-Excerpt from the Flaneur, Boston Common, December 6Th,1882
By Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
The evening of June 5th 2012 will be a sight that no person alive today will get to witness again. It is one of the rarest sights we will ever witness, Not since 2004 has the planet Venus crossed the face of our closest star the sun, and not again until the year 2117 will it again be witnessed by the people of earth.
As Venus moves from becoming the evening star to becoming our morning star it will cross the face of the Sun and make first contact within 2 minutes of "22:05 universal time. 5:05 CDT or if living on coastal time " when the sun reaches the horizon and reaches the top of a fish hook held at arms length."
The transit of Venus has always been important to science.Scientists use the transit of Venus to calculate the "Principal of Parallax" (parallax- is the displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight.
In 1663 a Scottish mathematician James Gregory had the idea of solar parallax of Venus and Mercury to help prove the celestial distances A.U. (astronomical unit)
The transit of Venus was so important that in 1769 the British Royal Society ordered Capt. James Cook aboard HMS Endeavor with other scientist to Tahiti to observe and calculate the Venus transit. The British Admiralty was not thrilled will the idea at the time but did agree and ordered a secret mission to find the unknown land of the south to follow.
The French government realizing the importance of the transit of Venus sent orders: "All Men Of War." DETAIN NOT! and BRING NO HARM! to British Bark "Endeavor." " As it was out on enterprises that were of service to all mankind"
The transit of Venus is the rarest of predicable astronomical phenomena; they occur in a pattern every 243 years With pairs of transits every 121 years and 105 years.
The transit will last approximately six hours and 30 minutes, but here in Texas will be cut short by sunset. It will blacken only 3% of the sun, but may be seen with the naked eye using appropriate eye ware. (#14 welders lens can be bought for an average price of 3 to 5 dollars from any welding shop and there are countless websites were observing goggles can be purchased very reasonably.)
I bought two welders lenses for my binoculars because I like to observe the sun spots anyway. And they work nicely for observing sun activities, transits and eclipses. But always use a safe solar filter when observing the sun; the damage the sun can do to your retinas may be permanent.
Venus has been called our sister planet as it is almost the same size as earth. It is the second planet from the sun and named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty. But Venus is far from love and beauty.
Long ago it was theorized that Venus had an atmosphere and must have life. Today, of course, we know that Venus has an atmosphere of acid and extreme heat; the pressure that would crush any life attempting to land. Its gravity is 92 times that of earth. If you weigh 200 pounds you would weigh 18,400 pounds on Venus – a reminder of how beautiful our planet really is.
Crossroads Astronomy Club meets every third Monday at 7:00 p.m. at the University of Houston at Victoria, Room 223, West building. Call 361-648-0089 for more information.

Which is Gorier: The Media's Obsession with Luka or Elizabeth May?
If there's any hint of dark comedy in the monstrous saga of Luka Magnotta, it's probably the Canadian press' bumblingly half-hearted efforts to shield our dainty eyes from the full scope of his horror show. In non corpse-dismembering news, the Conservative government continues to push ahead with its big scary omnibus budget bill, and the press continues to push ahead with its weirdly tireless campaign to raise the profile of Elizabeth May.

Recommended Reading: Extreme Heat FAQ
The National Weather Service is reporting that a heat wave is continuing over the central United States and is expected to expand eastward during the week, with temperatures reaching the mid-90s in the Mid-Atlantic states as early as Wednesday. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention created an extreme heat FAQ that health departments and other community organizations can add to their websites and use in community outreach. The FAQ includes information on fluid intake, dressing for the heat and prompt treatment for heat-related illnesses. The CDC also posted additional resources on staying safe during heat emergencies. Populations at greatest risk for heat-related illness include infants and young children, older adults and people who are overweight or ill. CDC recommends reaching out to elderly neighbors and relatives to help protect them from heat-related illness.

Teacher's Guide
8th Grade Global Studies Course Teacher's Guide: The 2011 Minnesota Standards in Social Studies require that 8th grade will be a Global Studies course, including 29 Geography, 12 History, 4 Economics, and 3 Government and Citizenship benchmarks. This document provides effective ways to teach an 8th grade Global Studies course with MAGE recommended units and resources. In each of the 2 proposed pacing guides, the year starts with an overview, followed by 8 regional units. Benchmarks have been placed in each unit, many with suggested activities and resources. "Skills" benchmarks are listed on a separate page (gray background), but some skills should be included in each unit. Local needs may require that benchmarks be moved to other units.This is a working document that will continue to be updated.
Assessments in Geography
Monitoring student progress and growth is an essential part of teaching and learning! The MAGE Geoliteracy team has developed assessment models and supporting curriculum in the areas of: Cultural, Economic, Environmental, Political, Population, Urban and General Geography to help students achieve Geoliteracy.
How should a K-12 teacher use a geospatial technology such as Google Earth in the classroom? Should they have students pinpoint a series of locations and measure the connecting distances, essentially using the technology as a mere digital representation of the traditional globe? Or, should they encourage learners to harness the powerful data-driven affordances of the technology to make and justify decisions on contemporary issues? We believe it is the latter scenario; this is the foundation of GeoThentic!
Mapping Minnesota
MAPPING Minnesota, a collection of nine geography lessons developed to incorporate selected maps from the Minnesota Historical Society's (MHS) exhibit, 'Minnesota on the Map:' Four Centuries of Maps from the MHS Collection.
An educational website to accompany the MAGE film project about Minnesota history and the science and politics involved in exploring and defining the "True Source" of the Mississippi River Headwaters.Interviews with regional experts on the history, geography, culture, and settlement of the region, and how these played a part in the definition and preservation of the headwaters, are also an important part of the story.
Food For Thought
The nine geography lessons and 33 black line master maps have been designed specifically to enable students to master the essential skill standards. The black line maps were designed for use on overhead projectors and also for use by individual students. The 4-color student desk map is designed so students have a personal map for reference and lesson activities.
Go! Minnesota!
K-12 curriculum designed to enable educators to teach the Minnesota State graduation requirements in geography.
Earthducation is a series of 7 expeditions to every continent over the course of 4 years (2011-2014) designed to create a world narrative of the dynamic intersections between education and sustainability. Teachers, students, and our online community expand upon this narrative to explore how education influences the future of our planet. Join the team on their next adventure at earthducation.com.

Women of Science Luncheon – Anchorage, February 5, 2011
Announcing keynote speaker Dr. Ginny Eckert, marine biologist at the University of Alaska Southeast. Specializing in crab research, her experience is a perfect fit for this year's marine biologist Women of Science patch! Juniors, Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors, we hope you'll join us for this opportunity to meet women scientists and learn about what they do at their jobs. Cost is $8 for girls and chaperones, and there might still be room for you at this event. (Don't wait! Call 248-2250 to find out.)
Rendezvous with a Comet
This year's mission at the Challenger Learning Center of Alaska in Kenai, will open on February 16 (event date is April 16-17). Not only will girls get the chance to plot a course to rendezvous with a comet and launch a probe to collect scientific data; they'll also participate in fun team-building activities.
This event is popular and often fills on opening day. As has been the policy for many years, if we have more girls trying to register on opening day than we have space for in the missions, we will hold a lottery to see which girls/troops can register. To facilitate this process, online registration will not be available on opening day (Feb. 16). We ask that everyone use paper registrations that day, without payment (can be postmarked, faxed in or dropped off up to one week in advance). On Feb. 17 we will hold a lottery if necessary, process those registrations, and let you know if you are on a waiting list or should send in payment for the event (you will have until Feb. 24 to provide payment). If space is still available after processing registrations from opening day, we will open online registration on Feb. 18 and will continue to accept online and paper registrations until the program fills.
For overnighting girls/troops, bunks will be filled first (37 bunks available at $15 each) before floor space opens up for sleeping ($5 per person). Please also note: the April 16 1:00 PM mission is a Mission Only option (no overnight option available; we may add that option at a later date if event does not fill).

Applications currently being accepted for the program which will be July 25 – August 4, 2011 on Mount Baker in Washington State. Girls on Ice is a unique, free, wilderness science education program for high school girls. Each year a team of nine teenage girls and three instructors spend 11 days exploring and learning Girl Scouts of the USA has partnered with the fourth annual Doodle 4 Google contest. Open to K-12 students in the U.S., Doodle 4 Google is an opportunity of a lifetime: to design the Google.com homepage doodle for millions to see, and while you're at it, take home a $15,000 scholarship and a $25,000 technology grant for your school. In the spirit of thinking big, the theme this year is "What I'd like to do someday..." For an optional doodle party kit tailored to Girl Scouts (intro letter, flyer, awards certificate) look here. Last year, it was reported that a Girl Scout finalist was in the Doodle 4 Google contest.
United Way's Walk for Warmth is an opportunity for warmhearted community members to join TOGETHER, UNITED to help struggling Anchorage families stay warm in these harsh winter months (and to get a little exercise). This one-mile walk starts and ends at the Dena'ina Center with a loop around Delaney Park Strip.
Date: Saturday, February 19, 2011
Time and Place: 9-11:30 a.m. at the Dena'ina Center (Walkers depart Dena'ina at 10 a.m.)
Registration: Register online January 3-February 18 Late Registration: On-site day of the event 9-10 a.m.
Why a walk? Too many of our neighbors are walking a financial tightrope to pay for housing, utilities and food. A little aid in paying utility bills will keep a family warm. Even more, it may be the tipping point in keeping a family housed.
The need for energy assistance is outpacing available resources. Walk for Warmth immediately addresses this need and is a powerful way for you to be part of United Way's ongoing work to see that all Anchorage families are housed, warm, fed and on the path to financial stability.
Get together with your group, staff, class, family or club, or form your own team of one or 100, then register right away.
Feel great because you know the monies raised will help our most vulnerable neighbors in need.

MEMPHIS -- Priscilla Presley late Friday re-christened one of America's best known steamboats, the American Queen, in a ceremony along Memphis' waterfront that marked its return to multi-day cruising on the Mississippi River.
Speaking from a balcony on the 436-passenger paddle wheeler, Presley told an audience of hundreds of invited guests and passengers that the American Queen's revival by a Memphis company would be a boon for the city. The vessel has been laid up since the demise of the Majestic America Line in 2008.
"It is such an honor to be here today to take part in this special occasion, which will forever change the landscape of Memphis," the former wife of music legend Elvis Presley said before smashing a bottle of champagne at the front of the boat. "Just like the blues, just like barbecue and, yes, just like Elvis Presley, it's going to be a part of Memphis."
The newly formed Great American Steamboat Company is trying to revive what was once a robust overnight cruise business on the Mississippi and its tributaries -- a business that collapsed over the past decade with the back-to-back shutdowns of the Delta Queen Steamboat Company in 2001 and the Majestic America Line in 2008.
RELATED: Beloved steamboat returns to market
ALSO ONLINE: American Queen to host Elvis cruise
Built in 1995 at a cost of $60 million, the 418-foot-long American Queen sailed for both lines in an on-again-off-again career on America's waterways that has seen it laid up as much as it has been in operation.
The upbeat christening ceremony included a rendition of the song Old Man River by Judy Whitney Davis of Houmas House, a Louisiana planation that is open for tours. Also performing was Memphis singer Joyce Cobb and a local high school marching band.
Gordon Greene, the patriarch of the family that founded the Delta Queen Steamboat Company, was recognized during the ceremony by Great American CEO Jeff Krida, who presented Greene with a plaque naming him an honorary commodore of the new line. Krida was running Delta Queen when the company built the American Queen, and he spoke about the long history of steamboats in America.
The past three years since the American Queen was laid up has been "the first time in 200 years that there was not overnight steamboat service on the Mississippi River," Krida noted.
After the christening, the American Queen departed on an inaugural voyage up the Mississippi to the Ohio River that will include stops in Kentucky and Indiana before ending in Cincinnati. It's one of a number of inaugural season itineraries that range in length from three to 10 nights and start at $995 per person, including a pre- or post-cruise hotel stay, shore excursions in every port and wine and beer with dinner.
Great American executives have said the reemerging American Queen will offer all of the amenities that made it popular in the 1990s, from warm, antebellum decor to showboat-style entertainment that includes Dixieland jazz, swing and big band music. The only changes Great American is making, they say, are upgrades, including improving dining by bringing in a well-known chef, Regina Charboneau, to design menus.
The company also has added several no-extra-charge alternative dining options to the vessel that weren't there before, including an alfresco eatery called the River Grill. Read more about the changes Great American has made.
During the spring and the late fall the American Queen mostly will be sailing on the lower part of the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Memphis. During the summer, it'll add sailings up the Ohio River as far as Pittsburgh, and in the early fall it'll sail on the upper Mississippi as far as St. Paul, Minn.
The American Queen isn't the only riverboat starting up this year on the Mississippi River complex. American Cruise Lines, known for its small ship voyages along the inland waterways and rivers of the East Coast and Pacific Northwest, plans to enter the market in August with a new vessel called the Queen of the Mississippi.

POSTED: Friday, January 18, 2013 - 7:00pm
UPDATED: Monday, January 21, 2013 - 10:50am
Baton Rouge, La (NBC33) — Hundreds of gun rights advocates will make their voices heard at the State Capitol tomorrow at noon.
A grassroots group called "Guns Across America" has planned rallies at every state in the country.
The group is made up of people who say they're upset that the government is trying to restrict their Second Amendment rights.
One organizer says politicians are taking the wrong approach to improving our safety.
"They don't really know what an assault rifle is, but 373 people were killed back in 2010 with assault rifles," stated rall organizer Jason Wilbur. "That means more people were killed by hammers... so do we call hammers an 'assault hammer'?"
The rally will take place at the Capitol Annex Building at noon tomorrow. The group says 500 people are confirmed to attend, but the crowd could be much larger than that.

(a) General. Grantees and subgrantees are permitted to rebudget within the approved direct cost budget to meet unanticipated requirements and may make limited program changes to the approved project. However, unless waived by the awarding agency, certain types of post-award changes in budgets and projects shall require the prior written approval of the awarding agency.

(e) Additional prior approval requirements. The awarding agency may not require prior approval for any budget revision which is not described in paragraph (c) of this section.
(f) Requesting prior approval. (1) A request for prior approval of any budget revision will be in the same budget formal the grantee used in its application and shall be accompanied by a narrative justification for the proposed revision.
(2) A request for a prior approval under the applicable Federal cost principles (see §24.22) may be made by letter.
(3) A request by a subgrantee for prior approval will be addressed in writing to the grantee. The grantee will promptly review such request and shall approve or disapprove the request in writing. A grantee will not approve any budget or project revision which is inconsistent with the purpose or terms and conditions of the Federal grant to the grantee. If the revision, requested by the subgrantee would result in a change to the grantee's approved project which requires Federal prior approval, the grantee will obtain the Federal agency's approval before approving the subgrantee's request.
