Results tagged "Press Reps" from Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama
Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama is opening applications for 2014-2015 press reps!
This past year's press reps had so many fun and exciting opportunities, such as TV time, PSAs, videos, radio spots, and billboards -- all for cookies and membership.
They also starred United Way and social media ads, reading the pledge and prayer at the State House for Girl Scout Advocacy Day, writing articles for the Girl Blog, and delivering cookies and press releases to local media outlets.
You don't need any experience being in front of a camera -- just an interest in sharing your enthusiasm for Girl Scouts!
If you are a Girl Scout who would be interested in this exciting position, please have them turn in an application with requested materials by June 13 to Meghan Cochrane, Director of Public Relations and Marketing at email@example.com.
When we were Brownies we did a lot of fun things like being in the Prattville Christmas parade, going to Kamp Kiwanis for the camporee, and going on a hayride. My friend, Sami, had quit Girl Scouts after that year and rejoined after a six-year break from scouting. Now in our Senior troop, we go weekend camping at Kamp Kiwanis and we get to plan our meals and activities. We also work on badges, do service projects, and help at the camporee each year.
It's a small world and I have had the chance to go back to places I have been before to see old friends again. I'm thankful that Girl Scouts has allowed me to make new friends and keep the old through the years.
Remember: Press Reps can be girls or adults! Both perspectives are welcome. Click here for the Position Description and Agreement. Click here for the Application Form.
In the past 100 years, Girl Scouts have changed a lot. We've gone from just one troop in Savannah, Georgia to thousands all over the world. The cookies we sell are no longer homemade, but are produced in factories by the thousands. We've developed badge books, uniforms and even different gestures like the Girl Scout handshake.
In the next 100 years, Girl Scouts could change even more. The uniforms could change and new badges could be created. Although, what I'd enjoy would be healthier cookies. Girl Scout cookie sales are vital in keeping our program going. It is one of our main fundraisers and raises a lot of money.
Many people have reasons to turn us down though. Some common ones are, "I've already bought some." And, "I've got food allergies." We always politely thank them and move on. One of the most common excuses is, "I'm on a diet." In the next 100 years, it would be cool that cookies are just as tasty, but also even healthier. That way people can enjoy some of their favorite cookies and not have to worry about their diet. That could also help bring extra funds to Girl Scouts. How do you think Girl Scouts will change over the next 100 years?
Juliette Gordon Low created an organization that has stayed true its mission for 100 years. Girl Scouts allows girls to get out in their community and learn what's going on. Learning life-long skills and working with one another as sisters. Girl scouts is for girls to learn to lead and make the world a better place. In the first 100 years girl scouts made a difference during WWI, the Great Depression, WWII and improving environmental awareness. To open the girls up to new experiences is still the mission today. Girl Scouts inspires girls to dream big and gives us an opportunity to advance.
What will the next 100 years be like? I will be a grown up. I want my daughter to grow up to be successful and have the grounding of Girl Scouts. I want her to be able to problem solve and to dream big. I believe by the time I am an adult we will have our first lady president who was also a girl scout. I believe participation in Girl Scouts will increase because little girls will want to be like her. She will probably be a strong supporter and have her own group meetings with girls about Girl Scouts.
Hi, my name is Press Rep Jamie. In the next 100 years I think Girl Scouts will be doing the same things they are now but different, selling cookies to good people and having even more fund raisers. I think that not much will change. Girl Scouts is a grand thing and I don't know why anyone would want to change them. The reason I joined Girl Scouts is to help people. One hundred years ago Juliette Gordon Low founded the Girl Scouts. She wanted to help girls of all ages become leaders. In the next 100 years I think the Troop leaders will teach the girls how to become Girl Scout leaders and/or unit leaders. We will give extra cookies or money to charities or the needy.
Girl Scouts may make a movie, race go carts on a track for $15.00 a person. We may get to put our hands in the cold water where the Titanic sank to the bottom of the ocean. We may even get to go bowling and earn a new patch. Being a Girl Scout has taught me so many different things that I would not have been able to learn on my own.
Next, Aliyah and I were led into another room where we posed for pictures with Representative Victor Gaston, Speaker Pro Tempore. We also posed for pictures with Trish Coghlan, CEO of Girl Scouts of North Central Alabama, and Marian Loftin, Girl Scout board member. I wasn't bothered by the picture-taking at all. My mom takes her camera everywhere we go. I've gotten used to it by now.
After all of the pictures were taken, our parents went upstairs to the gallery and Aliyah and I were led onto the floor of the House of Representatives. We waited for a little while and then we were introduced and we led the House of Representatives in The Pledge of Allegiance.
When we exited the floor we were given a Certificate of Appreciation from The State of Alabama House of Representatives. We went upstairs afterward to where a table had been set up with cookies and Girl Scout information. We talked with a few representatives and were interviewed later by a WSFA reporter. The bright light on top of the camera was nerve-racking.
Overall, my visit at The Alabama House of Representatives was busy and fun. Aliyah and I did many different things and met a lot of new people.
Girl Scouts have come a long ways. The uniforms have changed many times. The badges have changed along with the interest of girls through the years. The activities offered to girls have also changed over the years. Those in charge of organizing Girl Scouts have tried to keep the program new and up to date with what's going on with girls.
I'm not sure what Girl Scouts will be like in 100 years. If I'm living, I will be 114 years old. I guess my grandchildren will have the chance to enjoy Girl Scouting that still offers the same things and lessons that I am taught through the Girl Scout Promise and Law.
The activities will probably use more technology and things of the future. Your badges will probably be displayed on your electronic devices instead of your vest or sash. Women will be working in areas now thought to be meant for men and playing sports thought to be for men. Since being a women is no longer a big issue, Girl Scouts will expand their members and change their name and become an organization for girls and boys like the guides in some of the other countries. After all the changes, things like service, honesty and fairness will still be important to the organization.
100 years from now, Girl Scouts will have new uniforms. There will be new patches to be earned every single day! Girl Scouts will be texting instead of using tables for cookie booth and will be learning more about the earth. Girl Scouts will not be going to meetings, they will be video chatting instead. We will be doing more with computers and electronics. One hundred years from now, we will be able to visit our sisters in other countries by video chatting or in a machine to transport us there in a short amount of time.
The names of the groups will change. Daisies will be "Girl Scout Minis", Brownies will be called "The Learners", Juniors will be called "Helping Hands," Cadettes will be "Explorers" and the Ambassadors will probably stay Ambassadors.
We will use the transporting machine to camp and go around the world to camp instead of close by. I think that we will probably have digital bags we are required to bring to each meeting. These bags will keep all of our stuff in it but shrink the stuff inside so we can put them in our pockets. One hundred years from now we will probably have troop meetings on the moon and other planets. And, we will be discovering new life like scientists. Girl scouts will be trying to invent new things and will be learning how to make old-timey things like quilts and sewing clothes.
One hundred years from now Girl Scouts will do more history, math and spelling! Because the Girl Scouts will always keep learning.
Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama is honoring Liz Sutton at its annual Women of Distinction event on Thursday, March 15, 2012 in Montgomery. Press Rep Cheyenne sat down with Mrs. Sutton recently to find out more about our honoree. For more information about the Women of Distinction event or to purchase tickets, click here.
Courage, confidence, character, warm, friendly and successful are a just a few of the words I would use to describe Liz Sutton, Girl Scout alumna and honoree for the Girl Scout Woman of Distinction 2012. It was a pleasure for me to interview her, and you can meet her too.
Press Rep Cheyenne: I wanted to start out saying that I am so honored to be meeting you since you did get woman of the year. Were you ever a girl scout?
Liz Sutton: Absolutely!
PRC: How many years?
Oh my goodness, now I realIy don't know but when I was at St. Bedes I was a Girl Scout. That is where I got to go camping. I was one of nine children so we could not spend the night with friends because there were just too many kids for mom and dad to keep up with. That's where I learned a lot of things and I loved to earn badges and I kept a spiral notebook. And I wrote down everything I learned and I still do that today. I still write down things and that is how I learn. I wrote it down and go back and read it and I tend to remember it. I attribute a lot of my success to my good foundation with Girl Scouts.
PRC: Do you think Girl Scouts played a role in your success?
LS: Absolutely, I think what they did is they opened my eyes to the world. My world consisted of my family life and school and church. So sewing and photography and mechanics and all the things that were outside of my world I was exposed to in Girl Scouts. So I often wonder how I would have learned about them. And then meeting other people and doing fun things together but also memorizing the Girl Scout promise... Just learning, you know, that God and our country is important and that serving other people is important. You learn at school. You learn at church. But to learn it in a social environment like that with your friends was great. And then I learned to sell. I was a great cookie sales person. And I love
PRC: You have worked with the small business resource center and chamber of commerce. What are the must-have skills for someone aspiring to start a small business?
LS: Great question...alright Cheyenne let's think. So what I think it takes to start a business is a great passion for whatever you want to do. You have to love it so much that when times get tough it doesn't matter. To me it is not work. I love what I do. I love to serve. I love to take care of the clients. And I love the travel industry. It's great to have a career you are passionate about. Cause if you are passionate, your clients will pick-up on that passion and they will be attracted to it. And you will enjoy it more. You'll serve them better. So I think passion is number one.
Number two is a very strong work ethic. Number three is to have a good business mind. Be good with dollars and cents. Be able to keep a budget. Be able to watch your pennies. And be able to think outside the box. Everything is not just here and neat and tidy. If it was then everybody would be doing it. So you've got to find your niche. [The Small Business Resource Center is] an excellent resource. How do you know about that?
PRC: Research. It was in your bio.
LS: Ah, very good, very impressive.
PRC: Thank you. What classes do you think kids taking now, that they probably don't like and don't see the use for, are going to need in the future? What do you say to those people who actually don't think there is a job out there that you can use it?
LS: Okay, you'll laugh at this first one...but typing. I though typing was a waste of time. But you have to understand that back then we didn't have the computers. And I just didn't understand why anybody would want to take a typing class. Two weeks after I graduated from Catholic High...my dad hired me in the travel business and I was typing flight schedules with flight numbers and departure times.
The other one is math. I love math. And math teaches you good logical thinking skills and problem-solving skills. And I think because of my math background I'm very creative when there's challenges in this office. When there is a problem, I love it. Most people shy away from it and don't want to get near it. I embrace it. You have to uncover all the facts. Then I have to put the pieces together. I like to help people think logically through it and come up with creative solutions.
PRC: I am so happy to hear you say math because right now I have an "A" in it and people say don't need it any more.
LS: You will never believe how good math is for you 'cause it gives you a lot of good logic.
PRC: What advice would you give to Girls Scouts and to girls in general that you think would help them in their life and what they want to succeed in?
That's a million dollar question. Okay, I would teach them so much. One is that you are a child of God and you are every bit as important as every other person in this world. When I first started in business it was a man's world and I was an inferior person to them. I was intimidated by them when I would go to talk to them. But I had to go meet them because I needed to get their business in order to be successful. And when I got married I realized my husband is a normal guy. These guys are probably normal too. And that was when I started realizing, I may be a woman in the South but I am every bit as professional and competent as they are. I may not have as many years' experience as they do but I am still valued and should be respected. I had to respect myself and who I was. Hold myself up high
PRC: Why do you think Girl Scouting was important to you?
I think it taught me so much about life. I learned so much being in a big family. But I think Girl Scouts opened the world to me and taught me there is so much more out there than I realized. And I learned about friendships and I learned about respecting adults. Which I learned from my parents but it was reinforced in Girl Scouts. And we would have speakers come and talk to us. And then I learned about arts and crafts. I didn't know anything about arts and crafts till then. And I started making dolls and little things. So I think that gave me some hobbies. It wasn't just about me or about my little world in this bubble. There's a great big, old world out there. So it was awesome.
PRC: I think your job shows you love this world.
LS: I do. I do. I love people and I love this world.
PRC: And I want to say thank you for allowing me to interview you.

Hi! It's Tori! I'm going to talk about Girl Scout cookies. What's your favorite? My favorite is the Thin Mint! I like Thin Mints because they're so minty and chocolaty.
The cookies are easy to sell. They are only $3.50 a box! The money we earn from selling cookies goes to Girl Scouts so that we can do fun stuff. Some of the fun things we did with cookie money was we went to Camp Dixie and Camp Scoutshire Woods.
The reason I like selling cookies is the cookie booths. My mom and dad dress up in a cookie costume and lots of people think they are Spongebob because the costume is yellow. Sometimes, I have to wear the cookie at the booth.
The real reason the cookies are easy to sell is because no one can resist a cute Girl Scout. Cookie sales are important because they taste good and the money helps all Girl Scouts.
Hi, my name is Brittany. I took a trip to Ponytails Camp. The first day, I unpacked then I met the people who were in my cabin. The next day, we saw the horses and they were pretty. Their names were Country, April, Sam, Centry, and Boogie.
I had a fun time at resident camp, but I also had a lot of fun at Camporee. It was cold at camp while I was there, but we did a bunch of cool stuff. We did a scavenger hunt, and a few things went wrong but it was ok! At the end of the scavenger hunt we had some patches. It was awesome. Go Girl Scouts!
My name is Aliyah. I'm an 8th grader at Baldwin Arts and Academic Magnet School. Along with loving Girl Scouts, I love playing volleyball. I've been a Girl Scout since I was in 1st grade. I've had lots of fun too.
The event I liked the most was when we went with our troop leader and co-leader to a huge Girl Scout Event. It was awesome! The companies that Girl Scouts get cookies, fall product and uniforms from were all there. I met professional basketball players, took a picture with Tony the Tiger, tried out computers, and we played games like golf, basketball and archery.
I also enjoyed going to Florida to the beach with my troop. Even though it rained while we were there, we got a chance to see the white sand and learn what the different color flags on the beach meant and we even built sand castles. Some of these helped us earn a Girl Scout patch. I am looking forward to being able to travel to other states while I am in Girl Scouts.
I am proud to say I'm a part of 100 years of Girl Scouting. I enjoyed the 100th celebration at Alabama Shakespeare Festival. There were tables where you could do basket weaving, make key chains, earn patches, buy cotton candy and Girl Scout cookies. My favorite table was the face painting booth. The girls painted a picture of a volleyball on my face.

Anti-gun lawmakers on the Insurance and Real Estate Committee voted to draft a bill on February 14 to mandate liability insurance for firearms owners. While no specific language has been offered yet, a public hearing could come as early this week.
There are numerous problems with mandated liability insurance for firearms owners including: - It is an affront to law-abiding gun owners—you are not required to carry insurance to exercise any other constitutional right. - It is economically discriminatory—insurance is expensive and such a mandate could make firearm ownership unattainable for thousands of law-abiding Connecticut residents. Currently, no other state has a firearm liability insurance law. Misguided legislators behind this effort would subject their constituents and tens of thousands of law-abiding Connecticut citizens to a discriminatory and burdensome law that especially penalizes those who might not be able to afford such insurance. If your state Senator or Representative, listed here, voted for this outrageous measure, it is very important that you contact them today and let them know you oppose this attack on the Second Amendment. For help identifying your state legislators and their contact information, please click here.

In the Springsteen catalog, it's not often that I prefer the studio over the live version of a song, but in the case of "Let's Be Friends," it's the truth. Granted, the song has only been played live once (Hartford, September 16, 2003) and maybe if they'd stuck with it longer there would have been improvements.
Or maybe not. Given the E Street Band's talent, you might think that the translation to the live setting would always work, but this isn't necessarily the case. As we'd see later on with Magic's "Livin' In The Future," some tracks just lose something when translated to the live setting. I picked that particular song because I'm not alone in thinking that the tune was a little flat at the shows. Of course, many people complained about Bruce's introductory political statements. I didn't really care about so so much as the fact that the song never really "lifted off" like it should have.
Anyway, I guess the real question here is how did Springsteen end up writing a R&B-lite kind of song like this? Bruce's love of R&B is well known, and the genre isn't exactly off limits for him (Tenth Avenue Freeze Out anybody?), but here Bruce managed to write a song that eluded the grasp of the E Street Band.
I've embedded the one and only live rendition of the song. You can hear Springsteen trying to work it…but it ain't workin'.

Vt. man appeals prison sentenceJanuary 03,2014Vt. man appeals
prison sentence
LANCASTER, N.H. A gunpowder plant owner sentenced to at least a decade in prison over a 2010 explosion that killed two workers in New Hampshire is planning an appeal.
Craig Sanborn of Maidstone, Vt., was convicted in October of manslaughter. He was sentenced to 10 to 20 years in prison and his bail was revoked.
The Caledonian Record reported that records at Coos County Superior Court show the 64-year-old Sanborn filed a notice to appeal the conviction. And in a separate case in federal court, recent filings show he intends to take a felony wire fraud charge to trial in Maine, where he opened a munitions plant in Brownsville, called X-Ring.
Prosecutors said Sanborn was reckless in manufacturing, testing and storing the black powder and failed to adequately train workers at the Black Mag plant in Colebrook, where an explosion killed 56-year-old Donald Kendall of Colebrook, and 49-year-old Jesse Kennett of Stratford.
Sanborns lawyer said his client was out of town and noted the explosion could have been caused by various scenarios, including employee error or a stray piece of metal creating friction inside a machine.
In Maine, an indictment alleges Sanborn fraudulently obtained $300,000 in community development block grant money for the munitions plant. He is accused of seeking public financing from the town and devising a scheme to defraud and obtain money by false and fraudulent representations by providing false invoices for equipment never received.
On Dec. 3, Chief U.S District Judge John Woodcock in Maine granted Sanborns motion to continue the trial from January to February.
According to Woodcocks order, The parties in this case have been discussing a settlement in light of the defendants recent conviction in New Hampshire.MORE IN This Just InBURLINGTON - The Auxiliary Bishop of Indianapolis has been appointed the 10th Bishop of...

We welcome you to our website, invite you to learn more about our many programs throughout Santa Barbara County, and hope you will consider supporting our work. If you or a friend or family member need help with a substance abuse problem, our knowledgeable and professional staff is available to answer any questions you have and provide assistance or referral as needed. Please call us at (805) 963-1433 for further information.
Over 250 hikers joined the Summit for Danny Commuity Climb Saturday, October 25th at Elings Park. Every year, hikers unite to raise scholarships funds for substance abuse treatment at the Daniel Bryant Youth and Family Center. This year's event raised over $125,000 for the treatment programs, serving over 300 area teens each year.
Families and friends enjoyed each other's company, the sunny day, and the choice of three different hiking trails. Afterwards, all gathered beneath the oak trees at Elings Park for a celebration with live entertainment by musicinas Chris Judge and Tecca, and a mouth-watering BBQ provided by the Kiwanis Club. Catherine Remak hosted the awards presentation. The award for the individual fundraising the most went to Sally Arnold from the Goleta Rotary Club. There was stiff competition between the District Attorney's Office and Montecito Bank and Trust for the largest team, but in the end, this year's award went to the bank. This year's celebration featured two new awards as well. The award for the Hiker with the Most Heart went to Darryl Perlin. A former Santa Barbara Deputy District Attorney, Darryl remained dedicated to the hike even after he left the DA's office in 2009. He and his wife Linda haven't missed a hike for fourteen years. The John Herzg Award honoring an Outstanding Treatment Counselor went to Shawn Phalen from the Daniel Bryant Youth and Family Center.
Bob Bryant congratulates the team from Montecito Bank & Trust, who earned this year's trophy for the largest team.
Thanks to all who made this event such a great success and helped our kids rise above drug abuse!

The Mural Room at the Santa Barbara City Courthouse was packed with proud parents and family members on Sunday, October 12 for the announcement of the winners of the 24th Annual Kids Fight Drugs Poster Contest. Each year we ask South Santa Barbara County (K-8) students to design and submit posters that express their commitment to living a drug free lifestyle. The poster contest serves as a prelude to Red Ribbon Week and provides a year round anti-drug message delivered through the Kids Fight Drugs Calendar. This year's theme is "Dream Above the Influence" to encourage our youth to pursue their dreams and stay drug and alcohol free. This annual event has become a true Santa Barbara tradition; celebrating the creativity of young artists in our community.
From the thousands of submissions received, twelve winners and 50 honorable mentions were selected and recognized at the awards reception. First place was awarded to 6th grader Irais Pacheco. Seventh grader Eliana Bohn was awarded second place, and the third place award went to Rossemery De La Mora, a fifth grader. The Outstanding Teacher Awards were given to Anne Aziz from Isla Vista Parks and Recreation, and Andrew Vogel, from Goleta Valley Junior High.
Winners from each grade level and the first, second, and third place overall winners will have their artwork featured in the annual calendar distributed to local schools in December. The calendars are funded by drug seizure monies provided by the City of Santa Barbara Police Department, the Santa Barbara District Attorney's Office, and the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department.

Each year the Fighting Back Mentor Program and KEYT Channel 3 team up to produce the "Mission for Mentors" Telethon. This prime-time media event recruits mentors for the many children in Santa Barbara who are waiting to be matched with a positive adult role model. Filmed live at Center Court in the Paseo Nuevo Mall, the Telethon provides the perfect opportunity for the community to come together in support of Santa Barbara's youth.
This year's event resulted in 70 new mentors for the program, representing a total of 3,640 hours of mentoring. The Fighting Back Mentor Program matches at-risk area youth with adult mentors who provide academic, social, and emotional support. Anne Smith Towbes founded the Telethon and calls the Mentor Program "one of the most vital in Santa Barbara County, changing our community one child at a time."
We invite you to watch the following interview with District Attorney Joyce Dudley and her mentee.
Want to start the process of becoming a mentor right now? Visit our Mentor Resource Center for instructions on how to apply.
On September 13 - 14, nine students from Carpentaria High School, San Marcos High School, Dos Pueblos High School, and Santa Barbara High School attended the Youth Traffic Safety Summit in Anaheim, CA. The purpose of the summit was to educate students on the dangers of distracted driving, as it's the leading cause of death for teens. The summit also focused on developing participants' leadership skills, and motivating them to be advocates for themselves and their peers. Students also participated in skill-building workshops with over 400 students from across California. Congratulations to our FNL Youth Leaders!
CADA is one of ten agencies in the nation to receive a federal grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA) to provide substance abuse treatment to youth who are diverted from the juvenile justice system through our Teen Court program. This video highlights CADA's program, with commentary from local leaders, about its effectiveness, as well as similar programs being offered by the other grantees across the country.
Kids who consistently learn about the risks of drugs from their parents are 50% less likely to use drugs and alcohol than those who do not.
Talking to your kids about the risks of drugs and alcohol isn't as hard as you think. CADA's Parent Resources page offers links to some great web sites that provide free, easy to use tools and tips to help you have ongoing conversations with your kids to keep them healthy and drug-free. We also publish a Parent Newsletter with time sensitive information on the local teen party scene and other information parents need to know to keep their children safe and healthy. Click here to subscribe.
CADA and Santa Barbara Fighting Back are launching a new campaign, called Santa Barbara Committed, to engage the entire community in supporting teens to stay alcohol and drug free. As a parent, you can join the campaign by pledging to make your home a safe place where alcohol is not served at parties where teens are present. Join over 400 parents who have taken the pledge to date. Parents can also opt in to have their contact information published so that other parents who take the pledge can contact them about teen parties and gatherings. This directory will remain private and will be accessible only to others who have agreed to be included in the directory. Know where your teens are and stay in touch with the parents of their friends. Click here to take the pledge.
CADA is the administrative agency for Santa Barbara Fighting Back, a community collaborative that works together to plan and implement community-wide initiatives to address the problems caused by substance abuse.
In this Issue:
The Fighting Back Mentor Program has launched an online resource center: www.mentor-center.org. This website offers mentors and others interested in the program with detailed information about how to become a mentor, or how to get involved in the program in other ways, like volunteering, donating, or helping to recruit mentors. Primarily, the purpose of the site is to provide resources for mentors on activities they can do with their mentee, community events, and in-depth articles on a variety of youth development topics and issues facing children and teens today. Topics cover every area of life — school, personal life, social life, health, substance abuse prevention, gang prevention, and more. It's also a great resource for parents! We hope you will visit the site, make use of the resources you'll find there and give us your feedback.
The Mentor Resource Center was made possible by a grant from The Towbes Foundation.

Welcome to the Community!
We do not have an integration with WorldPlay, sorry
However if you look into the gateway files you will see they are very well documented. If you are code savvy you should be able to add your own easily enough with the notation and the developer tools from your chosen gateway.

Whats it called???
Illustration courtesy G. Bacon, STScI/NASA
Published May 11, 2012
An as yet undiscovered planet might be orbiting at the dark fringes of the solar system, according to new research.
Too far out to be easily spotted by telescopes, the potential unseen planet appears to be making its presence felt by disturbing the orbits of so-called Kuiper belt objects, said Rodney Gomes, an astronomer at the National Observatory of Brazil in Rio de Janeiro.
Kuiper belt objects are small icy bodies—including some dwarf planets—that lie beyond the orbit of Neptune.
Once considered the ninth planet in our system, the dwarf planet Pluto, for example, is one of the largest Kuiper belt objects, at about 1,400 miles (2,300 kilometers) wide. Dozens of the other objects are hundreds of miles across, and more are being discovered every year.
(See "Three New 'Plutos'? Possible Dwarf Planets Found.")
What's intriguing, Gomes said, is that, according to his new calculations, about a half dozen Kuiper belt objects—including the remote body known as Sedna—are in strange orbits compared to where they should be, based on existing solar system models. (Related: "Pluto Neighbor Gets Downsized.")
The objects' unexpected orbits have a few possible explanations, said Gomes, who presented his findings Tuesday at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Timberline Lodge, Oregon.
"But I think the easiest one is a planetary-mass solar companion"—a planet that orbits very far out from the sun but that's massive enough to be having gravitational effects on Kuiper belt objects.
Mystery Planet a Captured Rogue?
For the new work, Gomes analyzed the orbits of 92 Kuiper belt objects, then compared his results to computer models of how the bodies should be distributed, with and without an additional planet.
If there's no distant world, Gomes concludes, the models don't produce the highly elongated orbits we see for six of the objects.
How big exactly the planetary body might be isn't clear, but there are a lot of possibilities, Gomes added.
Based on his calculations, Gomes thinks a Neptune-size world, about four times bigger than Earth, orbiting 140 billion miles (225 billion kilometers) away from the sun—about 1,500 times farther than Earth—would do the trick.
But so would a Mars-size object—roughly half Earth's size—in a highly elongated orbit that would occasionally bring the body sweeping to within 5 billion miles (8 billion kilometers) of the sun.
Gomes speculates that the mystery object could be a rogue planet that was kicked out of its own star system and later captured by the sun's gravity. (See "'Nomad' Planets More Common Than Thought, May Orbit Black Holes.")
Or the putative planet could have formed closer to our sun, only to be cast outward by gravitational encounters with other planets.
However, actually finding such a world would be a challenge.
To begin with, the planet might be pretty dim. Also, Gomes's simulations don't give astronomers any clue as to where to point their telescopes—"it can be anywhere," he said.
No Smoking Gun
Other astronomers are intrigued but say they'll want a lot more proof before they're willing to agree that the solar system—again—has nine planets. (Also see "Record Nine-Planet Star System Discovered?")
"Obviously, finding another planet in the solar system is a big deal," said Rory Barnes, an astronomer at the University of Washington. But, he added, "I don't think he really has any evidence that suggests it is out there."
Instead, he added, Gomes "has laid out a way to determine how such a planet could sculpt parts of our solar system. So while, yes, the evidence doesn't exist yet, I thought the bigger point was that he showed us that there are ways to find that evidence."
Douglas Hamilton, an astronomer from the University of Maryland, agrees that the new findings are far from definitive.
"What he showed in his probability arguments is that it's slightly more likely. He doesn't have a smoking gun yet."
And Hal Levison, an astronomer at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, says he isn't sure what to make of Gomes's finding.
"It seems surprising to me that a [solar] companion as small as Neptune could have the effect he sees," Levison said.
But "I know Rodney, and I'm sure he did the calculations right."
This Planet may not exist. Sedna might've started life as a moon of Saturn called Gaga. An encounter with another Gas Giant kicked Sedna out of his Cronocentric orbit into a Heliocentric orbit beyond Neptune. A passing star subsequently pulled Sedna into his current orbit.

Punt, pass and plié: Ballet has its Seahawks fans, too
Seattle Times staff reporter
Craig Hall has trained most of his life for this moment — a chance to earn a spot in the School of American Ballet's summer course. For the 16-year-old who started dancing at 5, it would be a giant step toward his goal of joining the New York City Ballet.
His audition, however, is at 4:30 p.m. Feb. 5 — the same time his beloved Seattle Seahawks will be playing in Super Bowl XL. He has waited a long time for that moment, too.
"It's awful," said Hall, of Woodinville.
With a charming innocence, Hall asked his instructor at the Pacific Northwest Ballet School whether he thought it would be OK to write a letter asking if the time for the audition could be moved.
"Um, no," Bruce Wells replied.
Super Bowl obsession is seeping into places you might assume it would skip, such as the Pacific Northwest Ballet (PNB). Professional ballet and professional football seem like diametric opposites on the cultural brow. One is white wine poured gently into crystal glasses. The other is watered-down domestic beers sloshing in 32-ounce plastic cups.
Toe shoes vs. face paint.
Yet during a class Monday among PNB's company dancers, Casey Herd and James Moore turned their choices in wardrobe into a mini-spectacle. Herd wore a Seahawks hooded sweatshirt to class, while Moore, a native San Franciscan who danced four years with the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, donned a gold headband and wiped the sweat from his brow with his Pittsburgh Steelers "Terrible Towel."
"We used to wave 'Terrible Towels' in December during 'Nutcracker' shows," Moore recalled.
Herd, who grew up in Salt Lake City, adopted the Seahawks as his team and likes the Steelers — except when they play Seattle.
Not quite.
Think about it: Ballet and football have as many similarities as differences. Both ballet dancers and football players are athletes who endure grueling practices under the watchful eyes of demanding taskmasters. They must be precise, disciplined and exhibit amazing balance and body control. Their careers peak at an early age and can be ruthlessly curtailed by injury.
In fact, football players have been known to study ballet to help their game. Former Steelers wide receiver Lynn Swann, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, credits dance training with helping him develop the flexibility and coordination he displayed on the field. Big oafs on the offensive and defensive lines chass�, too.
Chalnessa Eames, a PNB dancer who grew up in Bellingham, said she can appreciate the pressure that football players are under on game days because she feels the same during her stage performances.
"My husband can be watching a football game and say, 'Hey, stupid!' when a player does something wrong," she said. "I'm a little more forgiving. 'Maybe he's just having an off day,' I'll tell him."
Eames said that during a PNB fundraiser in Bellevue on Sunday, the Winter Wonderland Ball, many in attendance clustered around a TV in a corner to watch the Seahawks game against the Carolina Panthers. Jessika Anspach, a PNB dancer from Bellevue, admits leaving early to watch the game at home because the TV reception at the ball was fuzzy.
"I've never been a big Seahawks fan, although I did watch a couple of games this year," said Anspach, whose parents traveled back East for a game earlier this season. "We can all get in a good mood when the team is doing well. It must be unreal for those players to have the entire city behind them and have everyone wearing their jerseys."
Patricia Barker, a principal dancer with PNB, said she watched Sunday's Seahawks win "screaming, hooting and hollering" like everyone else.
"Any time, and in any way, that a company or organization from our town does well, it helps put us all on the map," she said. "And it makes people feel good about everything else going on in the city."
Wells, the instructor to young Hall, is amused by it all.
"I wish my art form created the emotional fervor that this thing does," said Wells, a Tacoma native. "We struggle with our ticket sales for the ballet, and my understanding is that they can't sell Seahawks T-shirts fast enough."
Wells was resident choreographer for the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre before moving back to the Puget Sound area in 1997 to join the PNB school faculty. But he is unmoved by both the Seahawks and the Steelers.
"Football is just not my thing," said Wells, 56, who began his professional dancing career with the New York City Ballet at age 16. "But I'd like to see Seattle win. It's better for the city."
Wells said he does not plan to watch the Super Bowl.
"I'll probably go to the movies," he said. "I like to spend my days off seeing something riveting, intellectually challenging or visually beautiful."
And Hall, his prize student, will be sweating it out in more ways than one.

This is a movie review of Thor, from Paramount Pictures. It stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Kat Dennings, Stellan Skarsgård & more. It's directed by Kenneth Branagh.
It was Saturday, mid-afternoon at the Redwood Century 21 movie theaters. It's an excellent facility. The first crowd came out and everyone was smiling from having just seen the movie. Excellent first real-time movie review. My theater was about 90% full for Thor. Don't fret, it was an early showing.
Thor starts out as we're watching Jane Foster (Portman) chasing a weather phenomenon and after a few events in this opener scene. We then switch to Asgard and backtrack a bit to see how Thor (Chris Hemsworth) gets himself banished to Earth by dad, Odin (The venerable Anthony Hopkins).
The story evolves from there, alternating between Earth and Asgard as the two plots that depend on each other, develop in each realm, respectively.
Each, depending on or supplementing events in the other, to one degree or another.

Team Obama has serious scandal problems
Floyd and Mary Beth Brown
The news is full of stories about how Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich attempted to sell Barack Obama's Senate seat to the highest bidder.
But media has been hesitant to show the pattern of close Obama associates involved in scandal.
"'Pay to play' means you've got to give something to get something," said Alan Lichtman, professor of history at American University.
"So, you want a contract, you want a job, you've got to give something to the decision maker."
It is an epidemic amongst FOBs — friends of Barack.
FOB Bill Richardson recently withdrew his name from nomination for Commerce secretary due to a grand jury investigation.
He is accused of taking $100,000 from another FOB, David Rubin, president of the CDR Financial Products, Inc.
"I have been an unabashed supporter of Democratic causes and public figures, especially those like Richardson, who support a liberal, inclusive agenda," Rubin said.
The grand jury is looking into Rubin's Beverly Hills, Calif.-based CDR, which received almost $1.5 million in fees from the New Mexico Finance Authority in 2004.
This is after donating $100,000 to Richardson's efforts to register Hispanic and Native American voters and pay for expenses at the Democratic National Convention in 2004.
The New Mexico probe comes two years after the FBI searched CDR's records as part of a nationwide investigation into whether banks and advisers conspired to overcharge local governments on financing deals.
CDR has also been the target of investigations by the Internal Revenue Service, Securities and Exchange Commission and Department of Justice into whether banks and brokers conspired to rig bids on municipal derivatives and profit from deals at the expense of U.S. taxpayers.
What the news has failed to cover is that Obama, too, received big money — $30,000 — from Rubin in September.
Obama has raked in millions for his presidential campaign from donors with business before the federal government.
Obama's new White House chief of staff, FOB Rahm Emanuel, also has serious ethical shortcomings.
Emanuel's voice is on the tapes of Blagojevich and John Harris, Blagojevich's recently departed chief of staff. Emanuel is heard representing Obama in the negotiations to sell the Senate seat.
When approached by the governor, Emanuel didn't contact authorities and turn in Harris or Blagojevich for pitching the deal. Remember, at least two players are required for the "pay to play" game.
All of those who actively participated in the alleged negotiations to sell a Senate seat are just as guilty as Blagojevich.
Eric Holder, FOB and Obama's nominee for Attorney General, is also guilty of questionable entanglements, making it nearly impossible for him to fulfill his duties as the nation's top law enforcement officer.
Holder, on the last day of Bill Clinton's presidency, worked on the controversial pardon of felon Marc Rich and a whole slew of others.
Later, when in private practice, Holder represented the Chiquita company, securing them a sweetheart deal in the lawsuit against them for paying protection money to AUC, a Colombian terrorist group.
AUC is responsible for horrific massacres in Colombia and plays a large role in the exportation of cocaine from the country.
Court records reveal Holder wanted the Chiquita case dismissed, saying, "There is no clearly defined rule of international law prohibiting material support of terrorism."
The U.S. government designated the AUC as a foreign terrorist organization on Sept. 10, 2001.
"It's very troubling that the presumptive attorney generally of the United States, the nominee, doesn't know or doesn't believe that there's a legal definition internationally for terrorism or a terrorist," said attorney Jay Sekulow of the American Center for Law and Justice regarding the Holder nomination.
"First of all, he's the person charged with prosecuting terrorists, and of course, since 9/11 the attorney general's role is also to prevent acts of terror, so to say that there's no definition of terrorists or terrorism I think is very, very dangerous."
Obama aides sought to downplay Richardson's departure, saying it would not disrupt the transition.
Yet one reason Obama was so quick to abandon Richardson is because the investigation would bring more light into the new president's own involvement with "pay to play."

City will replace vandalized play equipment soon
EVERETT - The city will soon replace the playground equipment at Garfield Park that was set on fire last month.
The park is getting an updated version of the same equipment that was installed in 2007. The replacement equipment and installation will cost up to $60,000.
The City Council is expected to approve the money for the replacement this week.
After the May 19 fire, Councilman Scott Bader asked to revisit the issue of installing security cameras in parks. The council didn't talk about security cameras at last week's council meeting.
The Police Department determined the fire was arson and is asking for people's help in finding out who is responsible.

S204 dash kit install
Last last week I finally made a trip to the post office to pick up my S204 dash kit that had been shipped to me from Japanparts. I figured I'd document the install for you all.
This guide can also be used for how to remove parts of your dash for things like:
- Stereo upgrades
- Short shifter installs
- S203 red hazard button install
- HVAC red light mod
- etc
the S204 dash trim will only fit on 05+ models, thus it's specific to 05+ Imprezas.
Install time should be ~45 minutes or so. It took me a bit over an hour with taking photos and running inside to double check a few things online.
Tools needed
- Philips head screw driver
- Pliers or something with grab (for removing cigarette lighter)
- 8mm socket + socket wrench
- Flat head screw driver (optional, for prying things if you need it, I didn't)
The kit
The kit is 12 pieces
1 x Shifter trim
1 x HVAC trim
1 x Center vent trim
1 x Ashtray/Cigarette lighter assembly
2 x Vent rings
3 x HVAC knob buttons (HVAC mode, HVAC percent/defroster, HVAC temperature)
3 x HVAC knob dials
Old dash removal
1. Unbutton the leather boot around the shift knob. The button is in the very front of the shifter.
2. Grab the shifter trim at the back near the DCCD controls. Curl your fingers around the trim by the leather boot and pull up. The trim will come out.
3. Disconnect the cigarette lighter connector. Press down on tab and pull.
4. Lift the shifter trim up over the shifter and put it aside.
5. Remove the 2 screws holding the HVAC trim down (pointed to in red)
6. Pull up and out on the HVAC trim and it will home out. There are 2 tabs holding it in up top, they are pointed to in white in the picture below. You will have to pull pretty hard and you might think you will break something but keep pulling and it will come off.
7. There are 2 electrical connectors and an air hose you need to disconnect off the back of the HVAC control unit.
8. Pull on the air hose and it will come off easily.
9. Push down on the tabs and these connectors will come off. (Sorry for the blurry photo)
It's hard to tell from this photo but they are different sizes so there is no risk of installing them backwards.
10. There are 4 screws holding the HVAC trim piece to the HVAC control unit. Remove them. (Pointed to in blue)
Free HVAC trim piece:
Free control unit:
11. Remove the 3 screws holding the center vents down. (Pointed to in blue)
12. Pull out the center vents and disconnect the wiring from the hazard button. Push down on the white tab and pull.
13. Your dash is removed. It should look something like this:
14. Remove the hazard button from the center vents if you are reusing it. Push down on the tab (pointed to in yellow) and push towards the front of the vents to remove.
Hazard button removed:
15. Next remove the cigarette lighter from the ashtray assembly. Use your pliers/rubber jar opener/something grippy to turn the ring that screws the cigarette lighter down. It has teeth to make life easier. A bit of work and it will come undone. Remove the back part and push the cigarette lighter out the front of the ashtray assembly.
The ring (pointed to in yellow)
16. Unscrew the 6 bolts (8mm) holding the shifter trim and boot into place. Then push the bolts out and set aside.
17. Push the shifter boot trim out from under the 4 tabs (pointed to in yellow) and set aside.
18. Remove the 5 screws holding the HVAC control unit together (pointed to in yellow)
19. Pull up on the tabs to remove the silver cover from the control unit hardware.
20. Turn the dials all down to the lowest settings. This will make it easier to pop the new dials on. Pull up on them and they will come off of the HVAC control unit. You may be worried you'll break something but don't worry you won't.
Install new dash pieces!
1. Pop the new HVAC dials onto the HVAC control unit. Put them close to the lowest setting and feel around. You'll feel it lock into place a bit. Push down on it until they snap on. Do the same for the center buttons.
Remember from left to right it's HVAC setting, HVAC percentage/defroster, and then HVAC temperature.
Then reconnect the HVAC control over and the control unit and put the 5 screws holding it in back together.
Finished product:
2. Put the hazard button into the center vent. From the front of us push it in until it locks into place.
3. Screw the new ashtray assembly into the shifter trim. It uses 4 bolts, remove the 4 bolts from the old ashtray assembly/shifter trim and re-use them. They are pointed to in yellow.
Put the cigarette lighter into the ashtray from the front. then from the back put the rear part with electrical connector and the ring to screw them together back together.
4. Place the shifter boot trim on the new shifter. Work it around the 4 plastic tabs to hold it into place and the reinstall the 6 bolts and nuts around the silver STi shifter trim. (nuts are 8mm.)
5. Screw the HVAC control unit to the new HVAC trim (4 screws)
6. Reconnect hazard button to the connector and put the center vent back into place. (3 screws)
7. Reconnect the electrical connectors and the air hose for the HVAC unit. Pop back into place and install the 2 screws to hold it down.
8. Reconnect the cigarette adapter power connector and pop the shifter trim assembly back into place.
You're done! (With the center console)
Vent rings
Most people say to get a flat-headed screwdriver back there in the 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock positions and pull outward until the vent rings pop out. I thought they said to do it from the inside, but I did it from the outside and had no problems.
While doing this you might break one of the tabs on the old vent rings. My driver's side one came out whole, but one of the tabs on my passenger side broke off. Whoops. It will still reinstall just fine in case you ever decide to revert back to stock.
What the back of the vent ring looks like.
Tools needed:
- Flat-head screwdriver
- Electrical tape (Use this to cover the flat-head screwdriver so you don't scratch anything)
1. I found it was easiest to get the screwdriver between the outside of the ring and the dash around the 3 o'clock position and then pull outward. The ring will pop out.
2. Line up the new vent ring into the same position as the one you just popped out and push in. It will snap into place and you're done.
Installed S204 vent ring:
3. Repeat for the passenger side. I also went at it from the 3 o'clock position but this time I broke one of the tabs on the vent ring.
Installed passenger ring:
Broken tab.
You're done! (With the whole install)
The finished product:
Boy do I need to vacuum my carpets and install a new headunit to match the dash kit.

I'll try to take some night pics for you all tonight. I've been a bit busy at work and haven't had time.
The light on the dials is red, although it's somewhat faint. The light on the HVAC buttons are still an orangish color. I may try to pull them off and mod it later, I'm not sure yet.
Now I need the AVN-6600 to replace the stereo that doesn't match anymore.
