Dear Friends,
We're heading into a three-day weekend that for many simply signals the start of summer. In truth, it symbolizes something with much deeper meaning.
Originally begun as Decoration Day in 1865, this remembrance of military members lost in the Civil War would later become a national holiday -- Memorial Day -- and in time would stretch into a three-day holiday. In the wake of World War II, towns all over America began staging their own observances with parades and memorials. Today, the ceremonies have dwindled, and many seem unfazed by the weekend's original intent.
Yet our overall respect for our military men and women is demonstrated in other important ways.
The university has seen a dramatic increase in the number of enrolled military veterans and family members. We are dedicated to finding tangible ways to help them in their new journeys.
Here we are proud supporters of a very special program unique to the University of Idaho – called Operation Education. Operation Education is the nation's leading scholarship and assistance program for military veterans with disabilities. It is available to military personnel who sustained permanent disabilities while serving our nation since 9/11. Spouses of qualifying veterans may also be eligible for the program.
We recognize that for many veterans with disabilities, returning to a productive and satisfying life is about more than just money. Rather, it is about the need for comprehensive and integrated support.
Each individualized scholarship provides financial, academic and social support and resources – such as tuition, fees and books, on-campus housing, transportation, medical assistance, childcare, adaptive equipment, tutoring and mentorship – for the diverse challenges that accompany returning to civilian life, adjusting to life with a disability and working to earn a college degree. We also work with companies to offer internships and assist in job placement.
I'm excited that we've also seen an increase in giving to Operation Education. We just surpassed the program's $1 million capital campaign goal. However, there's always room for more to join in giving to this fund.
This weekend I encourage you to remember those – living and dead – who have sacrificed for their country.

Recent Grad's Research Helps State Plan Chinook Salmon Season. Spring is here, Chinook salmon are swimming from the Pacific Ocean to Idaho hatcheries and rivers where they were born – and anglers are waiting for them. But how do state management agencies balance the need for adequate numbers of Chinook in the fisheries against anglers' desire to stock their larders? Thanks to Josh McCormick, a recent graduate of the University of Idaho College of Natural Resources, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game now has improved tools for managing Idaho's Chinook salmon population. This is the second year IDFG has incorporated McCormick's data into the Chinook season. Read more.
Cowans, Others Have Their IRAs Do The Giving. University of Idaho alumni, Bob '59 and Jan '57 Cowan of Richland, Wash., are long-time supporters of several programs at Idaho, including those in business, agriculture, athletics and renovations to the Kibbie Dome that support the Inspiring Futures Capital Campaign.
"Our experience at the University of Idaho provided us with the foundation for our careers, as well as the beginning of life-long friendships that are very dear to us today," said Bob. "Our support of the university and its programs and students is our way of giving back so students receive the first-rate educational experience like we did."
In recent years, the couple has taken advantage of an IRA rollover bill that allows those 70 1⁄2 and older to make tax- free transfers from a traditional IRA or Roth IRA directly to the University of Idaho Foundation, Inc. Congress instituted the IRA rollover tax benefit program in 2010. It permits tax-free transfers of up to $100,000 per person or $200,000 per couple to charitable organizations.
Please consider acting now by making a gift directly from your IRA. For more information, contact Bob Scholes, Office of Estate, Trust and Gift Planning. He can be reached at (208) 885-5371 and (866) 671-7041 or by email at email@example.com

The Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21) has released the Math Skills Map, latest in its series of 21st century skills maps for core academic subjects. It was developed in collaboration with the Mathematical Association of America and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
P21's skills maps are designed to provide a framework and resources for integrating technology and other 21st century skills into core subject areas. The maps are targeted toward educators, administrators, and policymakers and include lesson plans for integrating 21st century skills into existing curricula, as well as specific student outcomes, along with models designed to help enhance student achievement at specific grade levels.
Each of these is broken into its own section within the map to provide outcomes with examples at each of the three grade levels covered (4, 8, 12). The map also provides a list of suggested tools that can be used to integrate the skills.
According to the group: "As the majority of states work to design and improve curricula that align with Common Core State Standards (CCSS), the release of this new resource provides a timely opportunity for education leaders to implement learning models that integrate core academic content mastery (the 3Rs) with the complex critical thinking and problem solving, collaboration, communication, and creativity and innovation skills (the 4Cs) required for student success in school, life and the workplace."
Specific skills covered in the maps include: creativity and innovation; critical thinking and problem solving; communication; collaboration; information literacy; media literacy; information and communication technologies literacy; flexibility and adaptability; initiative and self direction; social and cross-cultural skills; productivity and accountability; and leadership and responsibility. Interdisciplinary themes tackled in the maps include global awareness; civic literacy; health literacy; and financial, economic, business, and entrepreneurial literacy.
"Educators across the country are already working on integrating the P21 Framework alongside CCSS," said Lillian Kellogg, chair of P21 and vice president of Education Networks of America, in a statement released to coincide with the resource. "The P21 Math Map will provide another great opportunity for educators to implement 21st century skills in the classroom for all subjects."
In addition to mathematics, the current P21 library of 21st century skills maps includes the arts, English, geography, science, social science, and world languages.
Further information about the 21st Century Skills Maps can be found on the P21 Web site. The 21st Century Skills Math Map is available in P21's free resources portal and can be downloaded directly as a PDF.

County hires new jailers
By 07/17/2003 00:00:00
The Ellis County Press
WAXAHACHIE - Amid a rising prisoner population, Ellis County Commissioners approved the hiring of several state-mandated jail detention officers Monday, July 14.
According to Sheriff Ray Stewart, the state mandates for every increase of prisoners, a total of seven to eight jailers must be hired.
'We didn't think we could get this before the budget year, but we can,' Stewart told commissioners.
Money, however, is currently available to hire the new jailers in the current budget.
'You have about three locations you can get money from,' said County Auditor Mike Navarro.
Stewart said there are currently 298 jailers and with the additions, that number would jump to 315 - in time for the next fiscal year.
'We wanted to get this approved so we could process the paperwork,' he said.

Austin travel guide
Last year, Austin, Texas was named by Forbes Magazine as the fastest growing city in America due to its boom in population. The City of Austin claims that 115 new people move to the area each day. It should come as no surprise that this capital city in the heart of the Lone Star state is so popular; with its city motto and attitude of "keeping it weird" mixed with the culture and growing innovation of much larger cities, Austin offers a little something for everyone.
Whether you're a cowboy, tech wunderkind, musician or retiree, Austin keeps topping lists of best places to live for everyone. Though idyllic as a whole, it's the individual neighbourhoods that make this city so special.
Austin's epicenter boasts a fine contrast between development - the city features the tallest residential skyscraper west of the Mississippi River - and the antiquated architecture of Texas' early settlers. The iconic State Capitol sparkles with pink granite and proudly claims the title of the second largest Capitol after the US Capitol in Washington D.C. Scenic Lady Bird Lake snakes through Downtown, with a championed hike and bike trail that locals and visitors use to exercise or catch some of the city's most famous sights.
Heading westward down the lake lies Zilker Park, home of various music festivals and offering beautiful views of Downtown, and Barton Springs Pool, a spring-fed pool that cools off inhabitants in the sweltering months. Surrounding the walkable downtown are several varying neighborhoods, from quaint to hip, high-end to working class.
The South Congress Avenue shopping strip, a straight shot south from the Capitol, features Austin's most beloved independent clothing boutiques, antique stores and restaurants. The city's southside is often called the "old-school" neighbourhood and features some of the most beloved Mexican restaurants, vintage clothing stores and free-spirited coffee shops in town.
Head east into East Austin and you will see where the artists and free-spirits live. Filled with art galleries and cool eateries, this area was named by Forbes Magazine as one of the most hip neighbourhoods in the US.
Head north from Downtown and you'll hit the University of Texas; this revered school sees an influx of 50,000 students every year and boasts an impressive 423-acre campus. Dotted throughout the university are various museums, art galleries and, of course, large stadiums that house popular sports games. Don't be surprised if you hear the occasional "Hook'em Longhorns!" shouted from the campus. This is the official phrase celebrating the students' football team, The Texas Longhorns.
As you keep heading north, you'll hit quaint neighbourhoods such as Hyde Park, North Loop, Crestview and North Burnet with their independent boutiques and mid-century ranch-style houses. You'll be hard-pressed to find characterless chain businesses in central Austin; keeping it local is one of the city's main mottos.
However, Austin is no longer just a bubbling town whose population waxes and wanes when college is in session. Due to the popularity of Austin, its suburbs are growing - and fast. Suburban neighbourhoods such as Round Rock, Pflugerville and Leander are now within the city limits.
Austin is not only an appealing city for young professionals, but families looking for a safe and unique town to raise their kids in. With the popularity of SXSW music and film festival and F1 racing, Austin has also become an international destination. With its recent rush of new inhabitants and visitors, this one-time sleepy Texan town shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

My husband and I are on vacation this week, celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. Three years ago, on October 22, we celebrated at a new restaurant on Kauai. During our 25 years of marriage, I've watched other friends marry, as well. Some stay married. Others do not--even those I thought were made for each other. The same can be said for restaurants on Kauai: Some come; some go. But not The Tavern at Princeville by Roy Yamaguchi. Its menu items may have changed since we visited in 2010 but the place is still doing well, based on its Yelp reviews.

New home movie of the 1986 Challenger shuttle disaster surfaces
A couple of years go we ran a story about a home video of the Challenger shuttle explosion that had surfaced after a whopping 24 years in the can. Now we have more rediscovered amateur footage, and this time it's from a much closer perspective.
In the video footage uncovered two years ago, videographer Jerry Moss realized pretty quickly that something was very wrong. In this new footage it takes a while for the reality to sink in, even though it's from much closer and well within earshot of the NASA launch site commentary.
Unlike Moss' Betamax video footage, this new angle was shot on Super 8 movie film by then 19 year old Jeffrey Ault. After tossing it into a box back in 1986, he recently rediscovered the footage. As a long time space buff living in California at the time, Ault jumped at the chance to see the launch live while on a trip to Florida.
In a recent reflection on that day Ault said ""I was hoping to see an event that I would remember for the rest of my life. I did. Just not the way I would have liked to."
I expect a lot of us feel the same way, even if like myself we were only able to see it on TV.

The United States has charged five men with plotting to bomb New York City's subway system, with prosecutors calling it part of a larger al-Qaeda conspiracy that included plans to attack an unidentified target in Britain.
The indictment unsealed in a New York federal court on Wednesday broadened the case in which Colorado resident Najibullah Zazi pleaded guilty earlier this year to conspiring to set off explosions in New York City's metro system in 2009.
"The charges reveal that the plot... was directed by senior al-Qaeda leadership in Pakistan and was also directly related to a scheme by al-Qaeda plotters in Pakistan to use Western operatives to attack a target in the United Kingdom," the department of justice said in a statement.
Adnan El Shukrijumah, Adis Medunjanin, Abid Naseer, Tariq Ur Rehman, and a fifth man known as Ahmad were charged on Wednesday with 10 counts, including conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction and to commit murder in a foreign country – allegedly under orders from al-Qaeda leaders in Pakistan.
'Global nature'
Prosecutor David Kris said the new charges "underscore the global nature of the terrorist threat we face", underlining the US view that foreign-based al-Qaeda groups, rather than a rag-tag and amateurish collection of US residents, are the main threat.
Zazi, originally from Afghanistan, had admitted receiving bomb-making and weapons training from al-Qaeda in Pakistan's Waziristan region bordering Afghanistan, but no explosives were found in the New York case.
The former Denver Airport shuttle bus driver had said he would "sacrifice" himself "to draw the attention to what he said were US crimes in Afghanistan".
He pleaded guilty in February to the three charges of conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction, conspiracy to commit murder in a foreign country and providing material support to al-Qaeda.
Court papers made clear that Zazi was not only inspired, but also directed by Pakistani-based al-Qaeda groups.
Al-Qaeda 'leaders'
Most prominent among the accused on Wednesday was Saudi-born El Shukrijumah, charged with being one of three "leaders of al-Qaeda's 'external operations' programme dedicated to terrorist attacks in the United States and other Western countries".
The justice department claims that all three of those leaders "organised" the Zazi plot, even if only El Shukrijumah is charged.
El Shukrijumah is accused of recruiting Zazi and two other men - one who has pleaded guilty and one who is in US custody but has not yet been tried - between September and December 2008.
They were to "conduct suicide bombings in New York City using improvised explosive devices made from supplies such as hydrogen peroxide, acetone, flour and oil".
Ahmad, who allegedly was the "facilitator" keeping in touch with Zazi by email, oversaw the preparations, the indictment alleges.
In a final email just before leaving on his failed mission to New York from Colorado, Zazi allegedly wrote to Ahmad saying "the marriage is ready", alleged code that the plot was primed.
The New York plot was linked to the British plot by Ahmad, prosecutors said. Ahmad, an accused al-Qaeda facilitator in Peshawar, Pakistan, communicated with Zazi about the New York plot and with Naseer about a British plot.
Naseer and Rehman were among 12 men detained on terrorism charges after a raid in northwest England in April 2009.
Officials said they found surveillance photos of public areas in Manchester, but the authorities did not have enough evidence to charge the men and they were released.
Naseer was arrested again in Britain on Wednesday and is awaiting extradition to the US.
Rehman, El Shukrijumah and Ahmad are still at large. All the men charged in the indictment face life in prison if found guilty.

The US is using them (al-Qaeda) as a tool now and as soon as they are done, the job is finished, the US will restart fighting them, as exactly what happened in Afghanistan in recent years."
Now the United States and al-Qaeda are coming together again this time in Syria. They are collaborating with Israel to topple the Syrian government.
Al-Qaeda has never acted against Israel's interests in the past and is now even helping Israel in Syria by launching an armed campaign against Damascus.

WSP Germany
On behalf of Vitalwelt Schliersee, WSP assumed responsibility for the general repair and renovation of the Schliersee health resort. The focus was on project and construction management services.
The new Vitalwelt Schliersee originated from the redevelopment and modernisation of the old health resort. The aim was to offer guests and local residents a wide range of services in the areas of swimming, sauna, spa, health, fitness, tourism, gastronomy and sport.
The high requirements were initially met with the expansion of the bathing area, for which a complete floor was positioned on the existing building as a steel frame construction. To achieve this, the pile foundation under the building had to be strengthened.
Today, the generous sauna landscape with indoor and outdoor area directly on the bank of lake Schliersee in particular makes Vitalwelt an attractive tourist centre at the foot of the Alps.
As part of the project management, WSP first clarified basic questions regarding the project handling and the strategy for awarding the contract. As the measures were implemented conventionally with individual planners and individual contracts awarded in accordance with VOB/A (German Construction Contract Procedures), extensive communication between all the parties involved had to be managed. In addition, WSP provided the building owner with support for the awarding procedure and assumed responsibility for construction management for assuring quality and ensuring that commissioning deadlines were adhered to. WSP mechanical and building engineering specialists were also involved in the inspection of a BHKW contracting model.
Project data:Building owner: Markt Schliersee, represented by Vitalwelt Schliersee GmbHArchitect: Monte Mare GmbH Architekten und Ingenieure Service: Project Management, Construction ManagementConstruction period: 10/2006–12/2008Gross area: 9,600 m2

US President Barack Obama has nominated Korean-American Jim Yong Kim to lead the World Bank - a job that emerging economies are contesting for the first time.
While Washington retains the largest single voting share and can expect the support of European nations and Japan, the bank's second-largest voting member, some developing countries have also put through their nominations.
Angola, Nigeria and South Africa threw their support behind Nigerian economist and finance minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, while Brazil put forward a nomination of Jose Antonio Ocampo, who previously served as head of Colombia's national bank.
The World Bank board of member countries has promised to make a decision by the time of the IMF and World Bank semi-annual meetings on April 21. The current head of the global lender, Robert Zoellick, is due to step down in June.
President of Dartmouth College, a US Ivy League university.
Born in South Korea, he grew up in rural Iowa in the US. Kim studied medicine and anthropology at Harvard and taught medicine in several universities.
Between 2003 and 2007, he led a World Health Organisation initiative to bring antiretroviral drugs to HIV/AIDS patients in developing countries.
He co-founded a non-profit organisation, Partners in Health, which works with impoverished communities from Haiti to Russia.
His nomination is backed by the US, which traditionally appoints the head of the global development lender, and has drawn support from South Korea and France.
An economist and the Nigerian finance minister who has spent more than two decades in numerous positions at the World Bank.
Okonjo-Iweala was born in southern Nigeria and studied economics at Harvard. She earned a doctorate in regional economics and development from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.In her most recent position at the Bank, she was managing director under current Word Bank chairman Robert Zoellick.
She was subsequently appointed by the new Nigerian government to oversee financial reforms.
Her nomination is supported by African countries, including Nigeria, South Africa and Angola.
Currently a professor at the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University in New York.
Ocampo is a US-trained economist and has served in the Colombian government as well as the UN.He held the ministerial posts of agriculture minister and planning. He was also the chairman of Colombia's Central Bank.
He was the executive secretary of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean for six years.From 2003-2007, he was UN under-secretary-general for economic and social affairs.
Ocampo was nominated for the role by Brazil.

Fedora 13 - Display size less than supported on XP
Hi All;
I have fedora 13 running on an older HP box.
AMD Athlon 3300+ 2.4GHz
The display size supported for XP is up to 1280X1024 with the SiS mirage2 (128 mb shared) video card.
But when I run Fedora 13 I only get 1024 X 768 (max).
Anything I can do?
Did you install the latest Fedora updates? Maybe there's a newer driver for your graphics card available. Other than that, you can try to manually tweak your xorg.conf.

As the president of alternative programming at Fox, Mike Darnell developed a well-earned reputation as a showman with a wicked mind. "I usually like to take a pitch and twist it into something more evil or more dangerous," says Darnell, who was once called "Fox's Point Man For Perversity" by the New York Times.
Darnell, the man behind some of the most notorious reality series and specials on television over the past two decades, left Fox at the end of July. He's now moving on to Warner Bros. Television Group as president of unscripted and alternative TV.
It's the end of an era for Fox, which meets reporters at the Television Critics Association press tour on Thursday without Darnell for the first time in decades. Network execs are still mulling Darnell's replacement. (Among names that have been rumored for the job: National Geographic Channels CEO David Lyle and president Howard T. Owens; Sharon Levy, Spike TV's executive vice president of original series; and Nigel Lythgoe Productions president Kary McHoul; among others).
American Idol was easily the biggest hit on Darnell's watch, but we all know the ins and outs of that show. Now that he's exiting Fox, we asked Darnell to recount the rest of his greatest reality hits — and misses.
Season 1, Episode 7
The contestants say good-bye to their dream dates, then join Wahlberg at the bonfire for reunions with their partners and decisions about their relationships.
Season 1, Episode 6
The contestants finalize arrangements for their final dates; Ytossie and Taheed resolve their relationship; and the remaining contestants go on their final dates...with mixed results.
Season 1, Episode 5
The contestants go on their fourth dates, tensions flare between Andy and Kaya over dating Megan, and everyone gets nervous about having to choose their final "dream date."
Season 1, Episode 4
Ytossie and Taheed are removed from the game when it's discovered they have a child together; the contestants go on group dates for their third dates; the men and women view tapes of their partners' non-date antics.
There's a reason why they call Mike Darnell the "dark prince" of reality TV. Darnell, who on Friday announced his exit as the president of alternative entertainment at Fox, is still best known for his in-your-face fare like Joe Millionaire, Alien Autopsy: Fact or Fiction, The Swan, When Animals Attack and Man vs. Beast.
Some of those shows, like Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire and Temptation Island, led to juicy TV scandals. (It's why the New York Times once billed him as TV's "point man for perversity.") But Darnell also oversaw the biggest TV phenomenon of the past decade: American Idol, a show that was unbeatable in its prime...

Fox's longtime head of alternative programming Mike Darnell, who helped launch American Idol and Joe Millionaire, is leaving his post after 18 years, he announced Friday.
Fox's dark prince of reality TV, Mike Darnell, is dusting off a few of his old tricks. The network has ordered new summer dating game show The Choice, which uses spinning chairs reminiscent of NBC's The Voice and applies it to romance — with celebrities thrown in for good measure.
Hosted by Cat Deeley, The Choice, which debuts Thursday, June 7 at 9/8c, is a mash-up of The Voice and The Dating Game. Four single celebrities (to be announced later) will sit in...

Jeers to Mark L. Walberg for hitting a new low with Moment of Truth. Whatever credibility the ex-Temptation Island pimp er, emcee sought by hosting PBS' Antiques Roadshow got flushed down the old commode with his participation in Fox's ultra-sleazy lie-detector game show. I've got a few queries I'd like Walberg to answer honestly: Are you filled with self-loathing when you ask humiliating questions like whether former football player Ty ever sneaked a peek at a teammate's privates in the shower? Were you telling the truth when you told 46-year-old Hair Club for Men member George that he looks 35? And have you ever tried to pass yourself off as the other Mark Wahlberg to get a table at a restaurant? You know the other Mark, right? He's the one who won't do anything for money.For another take on Moment of Truth, read Matt Roush's newest Dispatch. Read and react to Bruce's opinions on Larry King's flubbed Heath Ledger tribute, Breaking Bad's premiere and more!...

The US Department of Human Service's Office on Women's Health recent convened a conference, "Meeting the Reentry Needs of Women: Policies, Programs, and Practices" which highlighted the unique characteristics and challenges facing women with criminal records. While there have been a number similar conference on returning citizens, this was the first to focus on women.
There are over 1 million court-involved women and girls throughout the US. Their characteristics are different than those of their male counterparts. The typical female inmate is a woman of color in her early 30s with 2 young children. Her crime was a non-violent drug-related, public order or property offense. She has a high school education with limited work history. She is also a survivor of sexual and physical violence. To cope with this trauma and victimization, she developed a drug abuse problem. She has poor physical health and suffers from depression or post-traumatic stress disorder. These are women who have faced significant adversity throughout their lives. The crimes they commit are often a consequence of these conditions.
Women serve an average of 18 months in prison. While in prison, women often relive their victimization and are traumatized further. Standard procedures require her to be shackled, submit to cavity searches and be isolated from others. Many studies show that women who have committed non-violent crimes and who otherwise could serve their time under community supervision are greatly harmed by incarceration.
When women are released from prison, they find themselves more vulnerable to the negative conditions that led to their crime – economic insecurity, abuse, mental illness – than they were prior to incarceration. Individuals with criminal records are barred from many employment opportunities in a number of fields, banned from receiving public benefits such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or food stamps, permanently stripped of their right to vote, unable to access Pell grants and other federal financial aid, and denied public housing. Individuals with criminal records pay for that crime long past their sentence.
Action must be taken to reduce the factors that often drive these women to commit these non-violent crimes. Public policy and community investment are needed to support the education, health and safety of women. Furthermore, policy changes are needed to break down the barriers that women with criminal records face when they return to the community. WOW has long recognized the employment barriers that returning citizens face. Check out WOW's Reality Check on promising practices in workforce development for women, girls and ex-offenders. We can do better to help court-involved women lead full and productive lives.

American Chop Suey: The Cheesy, Beefy, Misnamed Stovetop Casserole That Deserves a Comeback
Looks like the American Chop Suey I grew up with. I also like Ruhlman's macaroni and beef.

Plus, three of the four sites come with quarterly newsletters to reinforce both your credit union's brand and your members' financial literacy growth.
Working in tandem with the youth sites is the Financial Resource Center. This online tool comes as an annual subscription which gives your adult members access to libraries of financially related articles and financial calculators. Technology Solutions can even customize your FRC to look like your credit union's website.

Everyone has a role in helping to ensure a healthy future for our children. Here are a few suggestions you can try:
As a grandparent of three children all under the age of four, I'm going to try a few things. I'm going to display a few basic healthy foods on my countertop according to food groups. Then I'll ask my grandkids to pick one (or two) foods from each group. Then we can figure out how to make them into a simple meal. Maybe we'll have a picnic. I'll let you know how it goes.
Post your ideas about what you'll do in August to help kids eat right.

One of my challenges is portions. My 11 year old son feels hungry and thinks that equates to large portions. Not so! We are working on taking reasonably sized portions, enjoying the taste of the food while you eat (slowing down!), and then thinking carefully about whether second helpings are necessary. If he has over-estimated his portions initially, his leftovers can go into a container and be eaten later.

- ford racing mustang fr500s
2010 to be last season for Mustang Challenge racing series
by Drew Phillips (RSS feed) on Jul 21st, 2010 at 1:59PM
It doesn't seem too long ago that Ford launched the "poor man's racer" FR500S Mustang and the Mustang Challenge Series at SEMA in 2007, and already it's coming to an end. The series announced that the September race at Miller Motorsports Park will be the last, although the FR500S will still be sanctioned for various other racing series. No specific reason was given for the ending of the series, but our best guess is that it was due more to the slow economy than a lack of enthusiasm. Everyone involved, from the drivers to the sponsors to Ford all seem sad that the Mustang Challenge will... Read More

Copyblogger has a good post on how Twitter can help develop your writing skills.
Twitter poses a great challenge: how to communicate something of value in 140 characters or less. Unfortunately there are a lot of twits out there who use it as a stream-of-consciousness sharing of their every thought. That's also the problem I have with Facebook, by the way—too much sharing without thinking. Repeat after me: Not every thought I have is worth sharing.
Whether you're promoting a business, a cause or just yourself, Twitter can be a powerful tool … but only if you're offering content of value. Otherwise you're just adding more noise to the cacophony.

In 2009, Elizabeth Bailey stopped swallowing. Caused by an inoperable brain-stem tumor, the 4-year-old's family feared she wouldn't survive.
She was paralyzed.
Surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation couldn't eradicate the cancer, but Elizabeth surprised everyone by learning how to sit up again and to take tiny steps. Then the tumor stopped growing.
In 2011, it crashed around the Bailey family again when Elizabeth fell and was paralyzed again. More surgeries meant that yet again she had to learn how to take baby steps.
Moving forward to June 8, Elizabeth's big brother, Garrett, requested "Could I Have This Dance?" and Jeffrey Alan and The Jeffrey Alan Band serenaded them as they danced alone at ProRodeo Hall of Fame. Elizabeth took small, halting steps as they moved to the music; those looking on reached for tissues.
The evening supported Ronald McDonald House, where the Baileys made their temporary home away from their hometown of Pagosa Springs during Elizabeth's lengthy hospitalizations. Ronald McDonald House had become family and eventually the Baileys moved to Woodland Park.
The ProRodeo event was a pre-party and auction leading to the next day's fundraiser, the Cameron Memorial Golf Tournament. More than $90,000 was raised for the home that takes in families of critically ill children from outside the area. It's the place where families can be kept together.
Earning golf honors were first-place winners The Lamb Weston/Conagra Team: Ben Ayotte, Ryan Blanchard, Aaron "Goose" Sellars and Chris Phillips; runner-up Chief Petroleum Team: Eric Liebold, Mike Morgan, Steve Galvan and Darren Schrader; and third-place Collins Wealth Management: Ed Collins, Jay Brasseur, Dan Reynolds and Dwight Howard.
Over the last 27 years, the nonprofit "House That Love Built" on Logan Street has offered a place of refuge for more than 8,500 families of hospitalized children. McDonald's provides 12 percent of the annual budget and community events such as the golf tournament add some of the rest. Volunteers provide meals and are there with staff to support the families.
Families such as the Baileys - Alia and Josh and kids Caitlin, Elizabeth, Shane and Garrett - put a powerful face on the mission as they share how Ronald McDonald House Charities has helped during difficult times. Now the Baileys' story is being shared worldwide.

A line of 787 jets are parked Thursday, Jan. 17, 2013, at Paine Field in Everett, Wash. Federal officials say they are temporarily grounding Boeing's 787 Dreamliners until the risk of possible battery fires is addressed. The Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday it will issue an emergency safety order requiring U.S. airlines to temporarily cease operating the 787, Boeing's newest and most technologically advanced plane.

Boeing Co. says it is ready to move quickly to get its 787s fixed and back in the air if it gets federal approval for a fix for the batteries that have grounded the planes.
Chicago-based Boeing submitted a plan to the Federal Aviation Administration on Feb. 22. Now it needs the FAA to approve its plan and ultimately to certify the design. The FAA has said it expects its experts to recommend this week whether to accept Boeing's plan.
Ray Conner, who runs Boeing Co.'s commercial airplane unit, described the process to analysts on Monday. Conner didn't lay out a timeline to get the 787 flying again. It's been grounded since Jan. 16 after a battery fire on one plane and an emergency landing caused by smoke from another battery.

MONTEREY, Calif., Aug. 17, 2012 – Action started yesterday at the 2012 running of the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, held annually at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, in the hills near the picturesque seaside town of Monterey. As a company with a near-unrivalled heritage of motorsport success, as well as the only Asian car company to ever win the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Mazda is participating in this year's event with three significant vehicles from its heritage collection, a 1990 Mazda 787 Group C, a 1991 Mazda RX-7 IMSA GTO and a 1992 Mazda RX-792P IMSA GTP.
Vehicle details:
America's most popular form of motorsports will nudge its way onto the vintage race scene this summer when 27 historic stock cars participate in the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion. Scheduled for August 17-19 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca on the beautiful Monterey Peninsula, the event will feature the Shelby Cobra as its traditionally feted annual marque, but the addition of the stock cars promises to add a new dimension to the hundreds of sports and race cars entered in the historic race.
American racing icon Carroll Shelby, born January 11, 1923, is the dynamic figure behind the almighty Shelby Cobra. This year at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, the 50th anniversary of the Shelby Cobra will be celebrated as the featured marque.
Be sure to mark August 17-19 on your calendar, as this will be the biggest Cobra celebration of the year.
Save money by purchasing advance tickets online and be assured a spot at this historic gathering.
Today was the day everyone was waiting for, or at least the 30 or so thousand people flocking to the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion were waiting for it: the chance to see 45 competition Shelby Cobras charging around California's famously challenging 2.238-mile road course known as Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. The Cobras are part of the Reunion's celebration of the Shelby Cobra's 50th Anniversary, and besides those signed up for racing, there were hundreds more in the paddock, surrounding corrals, and even in a museum-quality Heritage Display, not to mention those driving the s
It's not every day that the chairman of an automobile company swaps his suit and tie for a Nomex driving suit and straps himself into a race car, but that's Ludwig Willisch's style. As head of BMW North America, Willisch will pilot a 1975 BMW 3.0 CSL at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion August 17-19 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
With hundreds of thousands of fans flocking to the Monterey Peninsula to attend the races at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, the facility is enhancing their experience by partnering with local business to offer great discounts.
The Corkscrew Passport app has launched and is now available for free download on iTunes. The new app allows users to make reservations at participating partner restaurants, get directions and post to the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca fan wall.
A dynamic new event logo has been created for the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix featuring the MotoGP™ World Championship by Red Bull's Austrian design firm, Sign.
Modest, outspoken, proud, enthusiastic and a wicked sense of humor, Phil Remington was a highly respected fabricator, engineer and chief tinkerer who could make anything go faster.
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca will kick off the 2013 race season with the American Le Mans Monterey May 9-11. Last year's champions and Northern California based team Muscle Milk Racing will return to defend their title against challengers and 2011 champs, Dyson Racing.

The Goldsinny Wrasse (Ctenolabrus rupestris) usually lives in highly vegetated areas in Kattegat, the Danish Belts, and sometimes all the way up to Estonia. The little bright orange fish can usually be recognized by a black spot located right between the dorsal fin and the tail.
They feed on bryozoans, crustaceans and gastropods. Interestingly enough, because they also enjoy eating lice, they are now being released in into salmon farms as pest control! This is a new alternative to dealing with the massive amounts of lice infected salmon that avoids the use of drugs and other sorts of chemical substances that are widely used in salmon farming.

In The Hands of a Gangster…
By Harold Hutchison
A member of the Crips street gang was caught with a pistol that had been issued to an FBI agent after he was pulled over on 12 April. The firearms had been stolen back in January from the FBI agent's home.
According to media reports, John Thompson, a member of the "East Side Crips" street gang, was pulled over in Bakersfield, California on suspicion of driving with a suspended license. When local cops searched his car, they found the Glock.
Thompson was charged with two felonies – illegally carrying a loaded firearm without registration, and possession of a loaded stolen firearm. The website for the Bakersfield ABC affiliate, KERO TV, reported that Thompson was in jail on $75,000 bond.
Possession of a stolen firearm is also a federal offense under 18 USC, section 922(j), punishable by up to ten years in federal prison. A separate law, 18 USE, section 924(l), make stealing any firearm a federal offense, also punishable by up to ten years in prison.

Watch Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock Talk, Drive, Talk, and Get Coffee
Last night on The Colbert Report, Jerry Seinfeld told Stephen Colbert that he named his recently Emmy-nominated show "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" so he wouldn't have to explain what happens in it. So when we say, this is the finale for the show's second season, with guest Chris Rock, you know what to expect. Straightforward or not, it's a fun watch, if you don't get distracted by how much more warmly Rock dresses than Seinfeld. What's the deal with that?

Featured Member
new CCPH Featured Member is Walid El Ansari. Walid
is Reader in Public Health for the Postgraduate
Programme in Public Health at the School of Health & Social Care
at Oxford Brookes University in Oxford, England. He is also a member of
the World
Health Organization's invitation-only Network
of Innovators, Observatory on Health Care for Chronic Conditions in
Geneva, Switzerland. The Postgraduate Programme in Public Health is one
of the earlier programmes in the UK that addresses the public health needs
of a range of health and social care professions rather than only the
needs of medical graduates. Walid explains the focus of the Programme
as being on the determinants of health and of health inequalities. He
states that in order to accomplish this broad remit, the unique characteristics
of the Programme are that it is rooted in a range of partnerships with
a variety of partners and stakeholders. Walid describes what community-campus
partnerships mean to him, "It means a great network of like-minded
people who are supporting each other in their efforts to bring about better
health and quality of life to underserved people. It is an appreciation
of skills that different people bring to the efforts. It is a forum for
interaction, planning, consultations, joint decision-making and implementation.
It is the linking of community and campus clinics.
Briefly, what
is the mission of your organization?
Q: Briefly, what is the mission of your organization?
A: The mission of the Postgraduate
Programme in Public Health at the School of Health & Social Care,
Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, United Kingdom is to prepare students
from a wide range of professions and backgrounds to be leaders in Public
Health. I believe that by developing and reinforcing the students' Public
Health knowledge and skills base they will have greater confidence and
understanding to tackle Public Health issues and health inequalities,
no matter what their professional background is. The programme team also
believes that by learning together in an inter-professional environment,
students will have built a better understanding of how different sectors
can and must interact to improve the health of communities. These are
basic building blocks for helping the students to provide leadership in
promoting the Public Health agenda.
Q: What do you most want people to know about the work that you do and the unique characteristics of your organization?
A: The Postgraduate Programme
in Public Health that we run here in Oxford is one of the earlier programmes
in the UK that addresses the public health needs of a range of health
and social care professions rather than only the needs of medical graduates.
The Programme builds upon the social/ public health model of health and
acknowledges the need for an integrated approach to health, health care
and disease prevention. Our focus is on the determinants of health and
of health inequalities. In order to accomplish this broad remit, the unique
characteristics of the Programme are that it is rooted in a range of partnerships
with a variety of partners and stakeholders. These include national and
international academic departments and universities, primary care trusts,
public health and social care practitioners, national bodies and think
tanks, community agencies and voluntary organisations, the Health Protection
Agency and the Health Development Agency, as well as other Department
of Health initiatives.
Q: What are you passionate about in your work?
A: I am passionate about building
formal and informal bridges, links and connections with others where all
the partners benefit. Through such partnerships, alliances and consortia,
my passion is to develop two-way capacity building: the capacity of the
professional and lay people who we work and interact with and my own team's
capacity. Our students and learners bring much expertise with them from
their respective fields of work. One of my roles is to mix, match, stir,
question, shake and share these excellent competencies and skills so that
the process becomes an effective leaning experience for everyone involved.
The Postgraduate Programme in Public Health at Oxford Brookes University
takes pride in its of excellence in teaching, research, scholarship, and
service. I am passionate about making every effort to contribute to an
environment conducive to in-depth and comprehensive understanding of the
many facets of collaborative public heath. This includes the attending
interprofessionalism, multidiscplinarity, problem solving and innovative
thinking, community focus and ethical issues.
Q: What is your dream for the future of your organization and/or community-campus partnerships you're involved in?
A: My dream for the future of
our Public Health Programme is to render it an international Programme
of excellence as regards joint and interagency working for Public Health.
Over the last five years we were able to cross many teething challenges
that we had. We now hope to set the stage to expand the Programme in order
to include new 'exists' that were previously not available to the students.
These 'exits' include health protection, biostatistics, international
public health nutrition, asylum seekers and refugee health as well as
disaster management. We continue to work with our national and international
partners within the School of Health and Social Care, the University and
the community agencies to accomplish these aspirations, and will accomplish
Q: What wisdom would you like to communicate to others in this field? What advice would you give to a student or professional just entering into the field?
A: My advice to myself and to others (not in any prescriptive manner) would be to embed their efforts into working partnerships that address the social model of health. Involve the community agencies and lay people as equal stakeholders and partners who bring assets to the partnership. Get good representation of the people you work with. Develop a wide sense of ownership of everybody to the programme, making it their programme. Consult, communicate, debate, and buy into innovative ideas that that could help to solve the problem you are tackling. Have tolerance to disagreements, give credit others' activities and be sensitive and perceptive to other's work aspirations. Develop your leadership abilities. Stimulate your partners, through clarity of roles, duties and responsibilities, to contribute their share in the greater work that is being undertaken. For students or professionals just entering into the field, I'd like to say that public health is a highly politicized arena, and is not the easiest path, but a very rewarding one.
Q: What is the biggest challenge you face in your work and how are working to overcome it?
A: My first biggest challenge that I face is the diverse backgrounds and multiple disciplines that the students come from. The difficulty is pitching the Programme at the appropriate level, stimulation and relevance so that it builds upon people's interests and previous training and fits well with their future aspirations. This is challenging when the students are diverse audiences: doctors, nurses, dentists, social workers, environmental health officers, overseas development managers, directors of public health and infection control personnel.
The other challenge that I face in my work is to bring a range of partners
and interested stakeholders to collectively contribute their efforts to
bear on a common problem. It requires a melange of patience, consistency,
persistence, logic and common sense, evidence, motivation and leadership.
How do I overcome it? Gradually and incrementally through a rational positive
balance of each partner's monetary and non-monetary benefits and costs.
The trick is to try to strike a balance that maximizes the accompanying
benefits and decreases the perceived costs for their positive involvement
and contribution. Do not forget that the values and cultures of both the
individuals and organisations you are trying to work with will play a
role in what they see as benefit for them and what they perceive as costs.
So pay great attention to values and cultures.
Q: If you could give advice to a policymaker what would you recommend?
A: My advice will not only be to policy makers but also
health professionals and researchers. We require to forge and maintain
ongoing relationships between ourselves: campus, communities, and policy
makers. One way to accomplish this is by building bridges and acting as
advocates in order to span the boundaries between policy-sensitive research
findings and research-sensitive policy makers. Today, public health in
its broadest sense is at the forefront of our policy making, so for policy
makers: please fund it with a view of a wise investment. For health professionals
and researchers, my advice would be that partnership working is becoming
the greatest governance challenge. We need to urgently know many unknowns
about how partnership functioning could be more effective at both the
population macro level of communities, and the client micro level of doctor-patient
relationships. The consequences of not doing so are serious in terms of
disease and ill health and the alternatives are very costly in terms of
care, treatment and management. Without loosing focus on our local goals
we need to work together.
Q: Why did you join CCPH? How would you describe the organization to your colleagues?
A: CCPH and I met at the appropriate
time in our lives. I had just completed a major research study on community
partnerships in South Africa and CCPH was holding their annual conference
in San Francisco. Our passion and goals were mutual and interests overlapping.
It was hence a natural partnership. CCPH is a viable and active organisation
as regards a range of aspects relating to the health professions, service
learning and partnership development and maintenance.
Q: What does "community-campus partnership" mean to you?
A: It means a great network of like-minded people who are supporting each other in their efforts to bring about better health and quality of life to underserved people. It is an appreciation of skills that different people bring to the efforts. It is a forum for interaction, planning, consultations, joint decision-making and implementation. It is the linking of community and campus perspectives for debates, synergy and forward change.
Q: What value do you see in being a member of CCPH to meet your future goals for your organization and for the field? What is your favorite part of CCPH?
A: Great networks, practical initiatives and ideas, conferences, contributions and discussions.
Q: What strengths and talents do you bring to CCPH?
A: A range of international experiences and expertise to contribute to their wonderful efforts. My work across many countries and cultures, examining different challenges in partnership working and their possible solutions. It is a mixture of academic knowledge that I have acquired through formal training and practical wisdom that I have learnt from the communities I have worked with in the UK, South Africa, Egypt, Malawi, India and others.
Q: What keeps you motivated to do the work you do?
A: To see that the efforts make a difference for the
communities we work with
.even if it is a little difference, it still
makes my day!

Caribbean Casual Back Deck Interviews - Marketing for the Pet Professional
Shot on location in the British Virgin Islands on the sailing yacht 'Sundowner' with Teri DiMarino, Kathy Rose, Susie Penney, and Melissa Verplank
It's not very often these four industry leaders get together for some fun rest and relaxation - but they all love their work and it doesn't take much for them to turn their conversations into an inspiring brainstorming session. Guess what? You get to be a fly on the wall!
In this session, the ladies discuss the difference between marketing and publicity and ways you can put your best foot forward. They discuss what has worked in the past for them to build their client base as well as how the marketing landscape is changing with the age of technology while other areas remain consistent - a strong base of referral based customers.

CareerBuilder.com and USA TODAY published its annual job forecast today and there are some bright spots on the horizon.
In today's issue, USA TODAY focused on the first three months of 2009. While 16% of U.S. employers plan to cut staff, 16% of employers "expect to add workers, while 62% percent anticipate a steady payroll." That's promising news for a huge chunk of workers — 78%. (Another 6% weren't sure what staffing plans for Q1.)
Looking at 2009 overall, 14% of employers plan to increase their number of full-time, permanent employees, 16% plan to decrease staff levels and 56% expect no change. 13% are unsure.Here's what CareerBuilder.com CEO Matt Ferguson said about the survey:
"The job market of 2008 suffered as the U.S. economy weakened and entered into a recession. Looking ahead, recruitment levels are expected to be lower in the new year, but employers are not out of the mix completely; instead they're taking 'a wait and see' approach to hiring."
And consider this, there will still be openings due to regular turnover, some job creation, a skilled worker shortage and people retiring or changing careers. What does this mean for you? There are still jobs to be had, it's just going to take more time and some extra work to find that new position.
Here are some other workplace trends the survey found:
1. Close to one third (31%) of employers say they plan to provide more flexible work arrangements in 2009.
2. 28% of employers anticipate hiring freelancers or contractors in 2009.
3. 13% of employers say they plan to add "green jobs" in 2009.
