As her academic career neared its end, Dunbar had earned both a Bachelor of Science Degree in Ceramic Engineering and a Master of Science Degree in Ceramic Engineering from the University of Washington in 1971 and 1975 respectively. (Later, in 1983, Dunbar earned a doctorate at the University of Houston in Mechanical/Biomedical Engineering.)
In 1973, she accepted her first corporate job. As systems analyst for The Boeing Company, Dunbar got a taste of the working world and the occasional cynics who doubted she could succeed. But Dunbar never paid much attention.
"I never saw them. I know that sounds really hard to believe. But they may have been out there. Many years later, I heard about what people said. Either I selectively decided not to hear, or I always looked at it as a challenge."
And she never gave the gender barrier much thought.
"If you go in with a chip on your shoulder, you're never going to make friends with your colleagues. I just set out do my job."
At Boeing, Dunbar enjoyed testing her logic as a systems analyst and a problem solver. "Computers don't have their own minds. We program them. If the computer followed the wrong instructions it's because a human being wrote the wrong instructions," she says practically.
At the encouragement of another adviser, Dunbar packed her bags for Oxford, England, nearly 5,000 miles (8,047 km) away. She wanted to pursue the opportunity and the income of a visiting scientist position helped. Dunbar was destined for Harwell Laboratories to work on advanced material for high-energy density batteries. "There were only a few places overseas that were actually doing work in my research field," says Dunbar. "One of them was in Toulouse, France, and the other was at Harwell Labs."
Dunbar later landed at Rockwell International's Space Division in Downey, California where she worked on the production of ceramic tiles for the Space Shuttle. She made her second attempt at the U.S. Astronaut Corps and this time became a finalist. Eventually, Dunbar was made Payload Officer in Mission Control at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center and Guidance and Navigation Officer for Skylab. She was closer than ever to realizing her dreams.
The defining moment finally materialized two years later, in the spring of 1980, when Dunbar officially became an astronaut candidate. At the time, no American woman had flown in space. But a long line of daring female aviators set the stage.
In 1932, the legendary Amelia Earhart became the first woman to pilot an aircraft across the Atlantic Ocean alone. The quantum leap was even more noteworthy for a woman who, at age ten, remarked upon seeing her first airplane, "It was a thing of rusty wire and wood, and looked not at all interesting." Curiosity got the best of Earhart, however, when she witnessed a stunt flying exhibition nearly a decade later.
The Weightless World
Powerful enough to hold galaxies together in space, the force of gravity is everywhere. It holds our feet to the surface of Earth. And in space, it keeps our only natural satellite, the Moon, circling our planet.
In low Earth orbit, the force of gravity is slightly reduced. Astronauts free fall toward the Earth at the same speed as the space shuttle creating a weightless environment.
"If you drop an apple on Earth, it falls at 1g or normal gravity. If an astronaut on the space station drops an apple, it falls too. It just doesn't look like it is falling. That's because they're all falling together: the apple, the astronaut and the station."
Scientists constantly study the impact of space on the human body. In a microgravity environment, astronauts can suffer nausea, dizziness, and even bone or muscle loss.
NASA: What is Microgravity?
"We thought we'd died and gone to heaven!" exclaimed female war veteran Caro Bayley-Boscoa of the flying experience. When World War II erupted, "WASPS" - Women Air Force Service Pilots - climbed behind the controls of American military aircraft and broke the gender barrier along the way. They were the first females to pilot the war machines.
"I could be a nurse, a librarian, or a teacher," remarked fellow "WASP" Kaddy Steele. "Those were my choices, if it wasn't for the war and the fact that they were so short of pilots that they condescended to let us enter the sanctom sanctorum. And they let us know that. They let us in because they needed us. They needed pilots."
The glass ceiling chipped yet again on May 18, 1953 when Jacqueline "Jackie" Cochran surpassed the speed of sound six years after her male counterpart, Chuck Yeager.
For her part, Dunbar is one of just 48 women in history to enter the U.S. Astronaut Corps and the only female astronaut from Washington. Worldwide, she joins the ranks of just 51 women ever to fly in space. (Editor's Note: NASA statistics included in this biographic profile are current as of June, 2009.) Despite the achievements of female aviators and explorers throughout history, women at NASA remain greatly outnumbered by men. In 1981, when Dunbar was first selected as an astronaut, women made up only 22% of NASA's permanent workforce. By 2009, the female population at the space agency grew to 36%.
Bonnie Dunbar got her first real taste of the astronaut's world on a stomach-turning flight over the Gulf of Mexico. The KC-135 dubbed "Weightless Wonder" or "Vomit Comet" could reduce the force of gravity with steep climbs and dives along the Equator. "It's kind of like scuba diving," says the five-time space veteran, grappling with the difficulty of explaining microgravity. "But freer. You have less equipment and you breathe air." The trick, she says, is not to exert too much force in your movements. (Editor's Note: Zero gravity does not refer to an absence of gravity altogether, only lower gravity than the Earth norm or a microgravity environment.)
The Case for Space Travel
According to NASA, the space agency pioneers technology that improves life on Earth. The breakthrough technology used in the hugely popular LASIK eye surgery is based on docking technology that linked the space shuttle to the International Space Station some 220 nautical miles (1,222 km) from Earth. Advances at NASA have improved imaging technology used to better diagnose breast cancer and "microchip technology that drives laptops and cell phones." The space agency says weather forecasters rely on NASA's 20 satellites circling the Earth for information about our climate.
NASA has requested nearly $19 billion dollars from Congress for fiscal year 2010 "to advance Earth science, complete the International Space Station, explore the solar system and conduct aeronautics research."
For 18 months, Dunbar immersed herself in the astronaut's world. She worked tirelessly at the gym and poured over the mountain of material an astronaut must grasp before setting foot in a Space Shuttle. Though the average person would find the amount of minutiae and the sheer volume of information staggering, it was all in a day's work for Dunbar. "You have to keep up – that's the bottom line," she says matter of factly. After all, the astronauts were preparing for the weightless world in which pennies float, liquids form spheres, and life turns upside down.
In 1985, NASA called Dunbar to astronaut duty. It was the chance of a lifetime and a dream fulfilled. Dunbar was set to become the seventh American woman ever to fly in space. It was a Spacelab mission. A shared venture between the U.S. and Europe, Spacelab was a reusable laboratory that orbited Earth in the Payload Bay of the Space Shuttle. West Germany bought and paid for the mission.
"The Germans were very interested in the science and the microgravity environment," explains Dunbar. "They wanted to become involved in human spaceflight and using that flight to inspire their youth in a post-World War II environment."
As mission specialist, Dunbar's key role was to carry out the work of Principal Investigators from several countries using the microgravity environment of outer space. The experiments would benefit human physiology and space exploration. To prepare, Dunbar flew to Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Italy to meet with the researchers. The personal connection was vital. She and her crewmates would serve as the investigators' "eyes and ears" in orbit.
Allowed to take small personal possessions on the approaching flight, Dr. Dunbar carefully chose pieces of her mother's jewelry and a belt buckle that belonged to her father. October 30, 1985, Challenger (STS 61-A) tore through the skies with Dunbar and her team on board.

A storm was building — one which would be recorded in the history books locally as well as the nation.
It would become an intense "superstorm" and come to be called "The Storm of the Century."
Carol Boyd-Housley was on the phone all night. She was supposed to meet a young man the next day which would be March 13.
Her first meeting was on the 12th and she "could not wait to see him again."
The young couple sat up all night on the phone talking … all while a storm was dumping inch upon inch of snow.
"Easy to remember our anniversary when we first met!"
It was six days before the young couple got to see each other again.
There were babies born during the storm, and then another round nine months later.
Jennifer Price, a Banner news carrier had just given birth to her son Dylan.
Price said the hospital was without working plumbing after the storm.
"I was essentially trapped there. My mother was a nurse and she was on-duty when the storm hit," Price said.
According to Robin Gibby, her friend Denise Carr had a child born during the storm.
Tage Carr was known as "snow baby" for many years in the McDonald community.
According to Denise, National Guard troops transported her to then-Bradley Memorial Hospital.
That was on Sunday morning and icing continued in the deep snowfall.
"I was already two weeks past my due date and went into labor. My husband, Greg Carr, called 911 and an ambulance couldn't get there so they called the National Guard. It took them over an hour to get to where we lived," Denise said.
"I was placed in the back of their truck in an ammunition box to be taken to the hospital," Denise said.
The box was warmer because there was no heat in the rear of the big Guard vehicle.
"My husband could not go with me. He had to stay with our 3 year-old daughter, Holly. I called his parents to tell them we were going. They arrived at the hospital the same time we did," said Denise.
"Tage was born within 30 minutes after I got there. We always called him our miracle baby, because the cord was wrapped around his neck and tied in a knot. But, thanks to the Lord, he was completely healthy. My husband was able to get to the hospital later in the day. I was in the hospital for a couple of days and then went home with no complications," she added.
According to Denise, the hospital was without power or water, making it difficult there as well.
Tage graduated high school and is now engaged.
Many stories come from the memories of those who lived through the storm and the days after.
Malissa Davis, who is the wife of a Bradley County 911 dispatcher, said she knew a girl named Rebecca Storm.
Kellye Roderick said her son Austyn Roderick was born nine months after the Blizzard of '93.
Many stories come from the memories of those who lived through the storm and the days after. The children are now grown and get to hear the stories of those few days when weather shut down normal activity here and in a great deal of the eastern third of the country.
Many stories come from the memories of those who lived through the storm and the days after.
Pamela Lawson Bramlett said her and her son Tyler went to rescue her great-nephew who was at a babysitter's home.
"I went with him on this heart-racing adventure from Old Parksville Road to the sitter's house. We were in a small car without snow tires as I braced myself for the slippery journey. While clutching a death grip on the door and center armrest of the car, I silently prayed we would be able to return home safely. This was right before the blizzard began to thrash it's wrath of fury. After what seemed like hours, we made it as far as a gas station off of North Ocoee Street and parked there. The side road was completely impassable. Ty got out of the car, trudging through the snow down Weeks Drive, hoping to find the sitter's house. We had never been there before and with everything covered with snow, all of the houses looked the same!" exclaimed Bramlett.
The snow continued to fall. Tyler exited the car and walked into the darkness. Eventually, Tyler reappeared with the child in his arms.
Then the next challenge — to get back to safety.
"A hill seemed like a mountain," Bramlett explained as they made their way to APD 40.
"After a few hours, a trip which should have taken 20 minutes, our exciting adventure ended with us safe at home ... only to then face the full-blown wrath of the blizzard. Our power was out for over a week," Bramlett said.
City dwellers were a little more blessed in the aftermath.
Brenda Rayburn Wingo said her dancing daughters, Nisa Rayburn-Hooper and Tria Rayburn-Montgomery, really suffered.
"We had no cable for an hour. They thought they were really suffering," she said.
Even those who didn't live in Bradley County, but did have association contributed to this story.
Susan Cenkus, a former Lee student and who now resides in Clyde, Ohio, was traveling from Florida and got slowed in Atlanta as the storm struck.
"We traveled 20 miles in six hours. We never got stuck until we arrived in Cleveland … the next afternoon," Cenkus said.
"What a storm. I tell everybody in Ohio about it!" she exclaimed.

Every conceivable cuisine is served at restaurants, cafés, and diners across Long Island, but fresh seafood is the most notable regional specialty. It's not uncommon for chefs to prepare delectable dishes in the evening using seafood caught that same morning. A trend toward using organic foods and fresh local produce has increased the quality of restaurant meals here. If you enjoy good wine with
your meal, try the Long Island chardonnays and merlots. The soil and climate on the North Fork have been compared to those in the finest wine-producing areas of France, and the wines reflect that quality. On the North and South forks, many restaurants change their schedules depending on the time of year, so it's always a good idea to call ahead in the off-season.
The top 25 places we think should be on every traveler's radar this year.

I was just throwing sacajawea out there in general. I really am not that familiar with it.
I floated the idea of expanding into the wood strip at ross park last year. no one even responded. I was surprised, and dropped it. there are some cool placements back there for sure.
Is anyone interested in going out to 8 and putting in an alt placement in the rocks today? I'll head out about noon and get there at 12:30.
the picnic tables constantly move. parks is slowly cementing them down, should be OK in 10 years.
Lower ross park is probably out of the question for a perm course. It is very very busy and is the 'showcase' park for pocatello. it would probably be bad for the sport to have children killed by discs. unless you know some placements I havvn't considered.
Look at the size of that pill, I can't swallow that.
Good news everybody! it's a suppository.

Here is my 3 cents (I get 3 cause I'm bigger). North city park is a dump, right next to a trailer park (not that theres anything wrong with that), and is under water sometimes up to 7 feet after the snow melts.
Edson Fitcher (Sacajawea) area is OK, but you would still be playing in the weeds and you would have to put all the basket right next to the river to make it remotely appealing to the disc golfer. There are no elevation changes.
Sister City park has great potential due to OB, elevation changes, mature trees, 90% of the park is not utitlized, and it has great potential for expansion into the jogging area. In fact, the city already has water lines running through the sagebush area so how hard would it be to put grass there. It would be a great park for the city to enlarge. Imagine throwing from the top of the park to the lower area on one hole...with grass. Makes my mouth water. Yes, as I said before, the design would need to be improved. We can't have discs going in private property. I have got today and tomorrow and Friday and Saturday off. Anybody want to head up there and take a look?
Also, Lance, I would like to get together and figure out the alternate pin placements at Ross. Honestly, I think we have a good grasp on 1,2,3,4,7, and 9. Holes 5 and 6 I have no idea. Hole #8.......I have to be honest....on the cliff doesn't sit well with me and I don't know how it could with the city either. There is no fairway, you have to walk all the way around to get to the basket, and there is a 50 foot drop on one side and a 20 foot drop on the other. I can just see our course going bye bye altogether when someone gets hurt up there. I know that people climb up there already, but thats not because of disc golf. As a disc golfer, I don't see any enjoyment in that hole.
I'll tell what. I will be out there tonight at 7:00. If anybody wants to come and help with some alt tee pad ideas, that would be great. I can even pull out the baskets if you really want to see what its like.
Sorry about the long post. Also, I will stop spraying the alt tee pads. I was there this morning and saw disc golfers playing the alt tee pads used for league. I will just bring some flags on Wednesdays and mark them that way.

Post subject: alt pins
alt pin ideas are painted in now. let's geet some feedback.
hole 8 is moved already. I plan to spend smoe time out there and observe people playing it and see how they react and how they get up and down. if it looks bad we'll move it again. no big deal. it doesn't seem dangerous where it is now. for small childern....I would hesitate.
hloe 1 alt could also serve as hole 4 alt it is just deeper
hole 2- deeper behind pine tree
hole3 - downhill and deeper under willow
hole 4- deeper and right, betwen pine and road.
hole 5 window shot much more right and shallower
hole 6- deeper and way right on the edge of the drop.
hole 7- way deeper, straight through the tunnel down the path (possibly deeper right as well)
hole 8- brandon's bane
hole 9- deep right.
comments welcome. nothing is in stone yet...wait maybe some of it is....
Look at the size of that pill, I can't swallow that.

Post subject: more holes
caleb and I walked the trees/scrub area between upper and lower. there are probably 3 good holes there. Is the club interested in trying some holes there since we do have extra baskets laying around for now? I have some chain and locks. pads are already decent.
mandatory tomahawk anyone?

Let me be the first to go on record that I'm intersted in baskets in the scrub. Playing thru dense woods is a whole new kind of game.
...and sorry, but I think your alternate 8 on the hill is a krazy drunken flip flop wearin' frat boy killer.

I think I said that if hole 8 doesn't work out it is super easy to remove. I think just a few days will tell. Thankfully there is no concrete. I am going out tonight to watch for a while, and see how many people look totally incapable of making it up there.
I may even move some other baskets for a while tonight if anyone is interested.

Post subject: Ross Park 8
The placement on 8 is a goofy but fun one. First time today I got a 6 after rolling off of the rocks twice. Second time, with a good drive, I still got a 4. Definitely makes thing interesting. I didn't think about the amount of seemingly out of shape folks out there that will not be rock climbing.

These pin placements are not what I anticipated. If it would be ok with Lance I would like to put them in my recommended placements tomorrow. I will have them ready for a noon round if anyone is interested.
Here is my opinion on the ones tonight.
Hole #1: Same hole just 50 feet longer. Did not affect the way I throw that hole. I just took out a driver instead of a mid range.
Hole #2: Good idea, not longer enough.
Hole #3: Great!
Hole #4: OK, makes the hole a definite forearm hole. No practical options for backhand shots.
Hole #5. Too dangerous and not all that exciting. The group ahead of us actually hit a travelling car. You don't have to throw that hole very hard to go into a busy street.
Hole #6. OK.
Hole #7. Good idea, but I think a little bit of brush clearing would make it more practical. I like your original idea of just making it much deeper in the woods.
Hole #8. You know what I thought about this one. Then I played it.....and now I believe it even more. Very dangerous hole. One slip by a kid or false move by a player and our course is history.
Hole #9. Right idea but too close to the fence. There will be discs in the zoo there that won't be retrievable unless you want to pay to get in.

Post subject: I am falling out of love
As many people anticipated I didn't see ANYONE walk around hole 8 to get up. every group I saw sent up one guy and took the gimmie.
I think it is a good location for a harder course, but one of the bigger problems I saw was speed fo play. on an already crowded course the extra stroke took some groups forever.
I think 8 need a different alternative. the suggestion was made to put it deeper in the alley or way way right , close to hole 7 alt.
suggestions still welcome.
responses to brandon:
if hole 1 gets deeper it becomes hole 4
hole 2 can't go into the volleyball/pavillion area
hole 3-ok
hole 4-ok
hole 5- how did they get to a car? did it go through a tree? any alternatives?
hole7- brush clearing for sure. it needs a makable path. 2 alts would be sweet
hole 8- I hear ya
hole 9- for a drive to go over the fence would be a crazy long drive considering the ceiling. but I'm reluctant to tuck it in closer to the brush because of the path that comes up right there. maybe something between the two.

I think we can find a happy medium here. I won't put up a big fuss with alot of placements. We played my layout today and the big arguement (from Caleb) is that all but 2 of the holes are forearm shots, even though the four times I played it, each group went half backhand half forehand on most of the holes.
Heres my conclusion and I will leave it in the city's hands from here.
Hole #1: Not deeper, but farther right, almost right on the stump where a tree used to be.
Hole #2: 150 feet farther and left. There is a perfect fairway there in between the volleyball court and hole #3 tee pad. The shorter Lancier version will work as well.
Hole #3: Love it. We did have another car hit on that hole, but it was from Caleb. We know he can't control discs as well as others.
Hole #4: OK, but would like to see it 20 feet right so you can see it through the gap in the pine trees. Midway between my placement and Lance's.
Hole #5: Hole #10 at Walcott where the path and the road V's. So this would be left of the walking path just right and 10 feet behind small tree.
Hole #6: OK, would like it down the hill a bit more. Halfway between mine and Lance's.
Hole #7. Lance's placement is good. We just need to clear the area a bit so we have more of a putting option if we are not right on the path.
Hole #8: In the gap behind the island of trees. Makes this hole easier, but it offsets making the other holes harder.
Hole #9: Just 20-30 back from the fence.
Let's get some cement and start putting them in.

Sounds great! I can volunteer some lunch hours to help out and have afternoons off on Fridays, if'n you'd like some help with the installs, Lance/Mook.
Maybe this is out of the question, but has the club/ISU ever considered alt pin locations at Bengal Ridge?

Post subject: good to see so many opinions
Poke around on the PDGA discussion board in course design. There are obviously 100 ways to look at each hole and design.
Even different regions have different tendencies.
Ross park is a fun course and will only get better with more pin placements.
I have a scout troop on deck to do some of the work, if only they call back. I told them it HAD to be done in May.
If I don't hear from them in a week we'll bust it out as a club one evening. It goes pretty quick. a cement truck would make it SUPER fast.
still taking applications for hole 8
more feedback responses.
hole 1- I do like the variety it might add..
hole 2- probably not going to be put way back there. it is out of character for the course, easy to imagine conflict with other park users, and I don't have that shot.
hole 3- ok but we HAVE to call the tree gap drive "kerry's hole" and you have to call it for it to count: "im going to put my disc through kerry's hole and hope for the best.
hole 4- any further right and people are going to try for the hyzer around/between the pines and I see the memorial coming into play more. I very reluctant to tangle with those guys. they tend to own guns.
hole 5- when i put it there I just couldn't see people going in the road. i guess I was underestimating the incompetence of drunk frat boys.
I like hole 6 on the grass because it makes all of the putts more interesting. if you land on the grass left (between the basket and the road) you are facing a big rollaway if you miss. if you land downhill you ar facing a nice uphill putt, and again a rollaway. If the basket is downhill you just have to throw somewhere down there to face a reasonably easy 2 and a certain 3. the odds of a 4 from a decent drive are minimalized.
The one reason i would shy away from making hole 7 deeper right is that it would detract from the risk of firing a putt at it from uphill and blowing past into the woods. if there was a path back up then it wouldn't be so risky.
hole 8- ????????????????????????
hole 9- compromise position, I think. far enough away from the fence and path exit, but still right and possibly blind.
Look at the size of that pill, I can't swallow that.

Labor Market Impacts
Labor Market Impacts
Recent Activity
Public opinion supports the view that immigrants take natives' jobs and reduce their wages, but most economists disagree. Although basic laws of supply and demand suggest that immigration could reduce wages by increasing the supply of workers, in reality the actual impact of immigration is likely to be small, especially in the long run.
This report seeks to understand and predict the potential impact of the economic crisis that began in December 2007 on legal and illegal immigration flows to and from the United States, and the likely effects of an economic downturn on the labor market performance of immigrants.
This short briefing paper explores the potential effects of the economic crisis with respect to immigration across European Union Member States, and outlines how policymakers might respond to changing patterns of migrant inflows and outflows, and the consequences of the downturn on immigrants and their host communities.
This report traces the evolution of the link between international study and skilled migration, outlines policy methods that OECD countries are using to recruit and retain international students, identifies policy challenges through a close examination of existing policies and trends, and predicts how the economic recession will affect future international student flows.
The Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA) and Europe appear to be an ideal demographic match: the former has a large supply of young, active workers, and the latter has a shortage of the youthful, skilled or unskilled labor it needs to sustain its economic competitiveness. MENA is the source of 20 million first-generation migrants, half of them now living in another MENA country and most of the rest in Europe. The region also hosts around the same number within its borders. In addition, the size of MENA's working-age population will continue to rise sharply in the next two decades while the corresponding segment of the population in Europe will soon start to decline.
This brief offers an analysis of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration, the Philippines' highly successful system of managing the overseas employment of temporary Filipino workers. The report examines the structure and mechanism of the system, identifies key areas of improvement, and offers policy recommendations for addressing existing flaws.
This report examines the ways in which governments can make the emerging global mobility system work better for European migrant-receiving countries, their developing-country partners, and the migrants themselves.
This report seeks to untangle the economic consequences of immigration from the intricate web of influences that affect the labor market by examining the role of various non-immigration factors in determining labor supply and demand.

'Town crier' radio thrives
The sound of music fills a radio studio on a Saturday afternoon. Children's tiny voices sing Christian songs.
As David Ventura fades out the music and turns on the microphone, the voice of pastor George Contreras travels across the airwaves throughout central Virginia. The music and voices originate in Henrico County. In January 2012, WBTK 1380 AM radio moved from Richmond to studios in the Glenside area. The station's tower has always been in Lakeside. While based in Henrico County, the station hopes to appeal to Hispanic listeners and others from around the region who want to hear Christian songs, a mix of Spanish music and family-friendly programs. "All of the music that we play, all the programming that we play, it is all targeted toward the family," said Glen Motto, operations manager. "The lyrics of all of the songs are going to be safe." Motto said the station changed formats six years ago. The owners realized the region's Hispanic community was growing. "Henrico is the sixth largest county in Virginia in terms of Hispanic population," Motto said. "When you include Chesterfield and Richmond, the Hispanic population nears 50,000." Radio stations play a central role in Hispanic communities in the U.S. and in Latin American countries. Felipe Korzenny of The Center for Hispanic Marketing Communications at Florida State University writes in his blog that radio traditionally serves "as the town-crier in an interactive way" and the "radio announcer publicizes jobs…and spreads the word about local events." That's exactly what drew WBTK announcer Oscar Contreras to the station. Contreras, who lives in Henrico County, didn't expect to be working at a radio station. He came to Richmond to study film and photography at Virginia Commonwealth University after his family moved to Culpeper from Guatemala. But one day in his car, he heard the new radio station. He liked what he heard and called to apply for a job. He's been at the station since then. Contreras considers the station a community resource offering such programs as "Focus on the Community," which airs each Monday. "When I came into the radio [station, it] was in my heart to do a community show where we can inform people about what's going on in the region, events, the services, have interviews with different experts on different topics," he said. "We open the lines and people call; people ask questions." The station works with local governments and nonprofit agencies to share information with its Hispanic listeners. And of course the station connects advertisers with what Motto calls an "underserved market." Most of the music and programs are in Spanish, but long-time announcer "Brother Herb" Pollard hosts a morning show Monday through Friday in English. On a recent Friday morning, Pollard played religious songs and testimonials interspersed with weather and traffic reports. Pollard, who is black, said one of his roles is to encourage his listeners. Another role he has taken on is to help build bridges between the area's Hispanic and African-American communities. "I bridge the gap between two cultures," Pollard said. "I try to do it by music and by communication. I show equal love to all cultures." This story is part of the series "Virginia Tapestry: Reflecting Our Rich Diversity," produced by In Your Shoes Media. |

I love yogurt and I love granola, and while the two mixed together are wonderful - they're not always low calorie. Breyers YoCrunch Lowfat Yogurt Peach with Granola for example, provides 220 calories and has 30 grams of sugar per 6.5 ounce serving. But YoCrunch Light is a little less caloric. Each 6 ounce serving provides 120 calories from the yogurt, 50 calories from the granola topping and 15 grams of sugars total (11 grams in the yogurt and 5 grams in the granola). I saw the Breyers YoCrunch Light Strawberry Yogurt for $1.25 at the grocery store, and decided to give it a shot.
The granola comes in a little cup on top of the yogurt, which is wonderful because that means it doesn't get soggy. The strawberry yogurt was nice and sweet without being overly so. Furthermore, it was thicker than some "light" yogurts, which made it more satisfying. The granola was deliciously crunchy and lightly sweetened, and it added a lot of texture and crunch to an already good yogurt flavor.
In addition to the 120 calories previously mentioned, each 6 ounce serving of Yogurt (only) has 1 gram of total fat, 100 mg of sodium (4% of the daily value), 6 grams of protein and 22 grams of carbohydrates which includes 11 grams of sugar and 1 gram of fiber.
The granola adds an additional 50 calories, 0.5 grams of total fat, 1% of the DV for sodium, 1 gram of protein and 11 grams of carbohydrates which includes 1 gram of fiber and 4 grams of sugars. The ingredients include the artificial sweeteners aspartame and acesulfame K.
Breyers is not really a brand of yogurt I think of often, but I really liked the Breyers YoCrunch Light Strawberry Yogurt and could see myself buying this again.

Police probe Manchester shooting - updated at 11:55 a.m.Staff Report | December 31,2012By Patrick McArdle
MANCHESTER - A local man who was shot on Sunday evening told police he was the victim of a drive-by shooting but police are still investigating the circumstances that resulted in the gunshot wound, according to Manchester Police Chief Michael Hall.
Hall said on Monday morning that he believed Donald Ely-Gardner, 27, of Manchester, was no longer in life-threatening danger because of the wound.
Ely-Gardner was taken to the Manchester Police Department by a friend at around 8:30 p.m. on Sunday. He appeared to have been shot in the chest.
Hall said the gunshot wound appeared to have been caused by a small-caliber handgun.
Around 9 a.m. Monday, Hall said that, after a preliminary investigation, police believe Ely-Gardner had been at home with a friend, William Nichols Jr., in Manchester on Sunday evening. Hall said Ely-Gardner told Nichols he was going out for cigarettes around 8:30 p.m.
A short time later, Ely-Gardner called Nichols to say he had been shot. He told his friend he was on Route 7A about 200 feet south of the new roundabout at the intersection of Routes 11/30 and 7A, Hall said.
Hall said Nichols told police he went to the scene, found Ely-Gardner in a parking lot and brought him to the Manchester Police Department which is farther north on Route 7A.
The Manchester Rescue Squad took Ely-Gardner to the Southwestern Vermont Medical Center in Bennington. He was later taken by helicopter to the Albany (N.Y.) Medical Center where he had been listed in critical condition early this morning.
However, by 9 a.m., Hall said he believed Ely-Gardner was no longer considered to be in life-threatening danger.
The only information that police got from Ely-Gardner was that he had been shot by a passing driver.
"We're still processing the crime scene up there and still gathering evidence at this point," Hall said.
While police were doing their on-site investigation, Hall said they might face some challenges because a light snow was beginning to fall in Manchester on Monday morning.
Hall said police had no reason to believe there was an immediate danger to the public.
Ely-Gardner has a criminal history in the area.
He currently has seven felony charges pending for violation of an abuse prevention order. The charges were felonies based on Ely-Gardner's previous convictions for violating abuse prevention orders in November 2004.
In that case, a woman reported to the Bennington Police Department on July 11 that Ely-Gardner had been sending her text messages in violation of a relief from abuse order issued in April. Sgt. David Dutcher said he had contacted the Manchester Police Department, because Ely-Gardner lives in Manchester, and asked that Ely-Gardner be cited and given new conditions of release which re-stated that he was not to have contact with the woman.
The woman called Dutcher later on July 11 to report that Ely-Gardner had sent her text messages within about 45 minutes of being released by the Manchester police.
Ely-Gardner also has a pending charge of driving under the influence of alcohol.
In March, 2010, he was convicted by a jury of domestic assault in Bennington criminal court.
Both Hall and Bennington County State's Attorney Erica Marthage said they were not expecting to host a press conference on the incident on Monday.

The school shootings in Newtown, Conn., forced television networks to make some last-minute changes to their schedules.
TheFutonCritic.com reported that Fox has pulled Sunday's episodes of its irreverent animated series "Family Guy" and "American Dad." While no official reason was given, the episodes in question — "Jesus, Mary and Joseph!" and "Minstrel Krampus" — were said to feature sensitive content in light of Friday's tragedy. Repeats of both shows will air instead. The network also will replace Sunday's scheduled rerun of "The Cleveland Show" ("Die Semi-Hard") with another repeat, "Menace II Secret Society."
This isn't the first time Fox has rejiggered its Sunday night animated comedy block in the wake of a catastrophe. In April 2011, the network had planned a hurricane-themed storyline to run through three of its sitcoms: "Family Guy," "The Cleveland Show" and "American Dad." Fox backed away from the much-hyped plans after a series of storms left hundreds dead in the Southeast.
On the Syfy network, a Friday episode of the supernatural drama "Haven" was shelved indefinitely because it contained scenes of violence at a high school.
Guest star Laura Vandervoort ("Smallville") was slated to appear as a vengeful wife who at one point walks a high school's halls carrying a gun. Vandervoort told TVLine that she was proud of the network and the show's decision to pull the program.
"I feel immense pain and sympathy for the families and children [in Newtown] and couldn't bear the thought of the images in [Friday's] episode upsetting people," Vandervoort was quoted as saying in TVLine.

The duties of each job at MSU have been evaluated to determine which employees require respiratory protection. Those employees receive respiratory equipment only after they have been trained in its proper use and have had a physical examination. Every employee that is issued a respirator will go through annual training and fit testing. This test assures the respirator fits properly and does not leak. This is essential to ensure a good fit in an area where the respirator is needed.

Summer Science Institute
You're invited to Bethel's annual science institute, June 1-6, 2014. This institute is open to students entering grades 10–12 and, if space is available, to 2014 high school graduates.
The institute offers research investigation opportunities in several areas of science, including biology, psychology, chemistry, computer science and mathematics. You'll be able to study fascinating and challenging topics that high school courses typically don't cover. The focus is on learning how to do research through close interaction with faculty. Readings provide background for lab and field study.
You'll be involved in two of the research areas listed below, with assignment based on preferences indicated on your registration form. Up to 12 students can be accommodated in each area, so early registration ensures your enrollment in your preferred areas.
Students in all areas will come together for some sessions. Activities in these joint sessions will help you learn more about the nature of science and particularly about the areas of science featured in the institute.
We plan to offer the following research areas:
(indicate your preferences from 1, most preferred, to 3, least preferred, on the registration form)
- Morning:

When current Michigan Governor Rick Snyder decided to run for the office, his campaign theme was "One Tough Nerd". The theme capitalized on his business background and his impressive education credentials that include a Bachelor of General Studies, Masters of Business Administration and a law degree all from the University of Michigan and attained by the age of 23. In other words, this man can add and subtract and balance a set of books, all skills woefully lacking in the current crowd governing from DC.
One of the ironies of the two years since the 2010 Michigan elections that brought forth the 96th legislature and the first term of Governor Rick Snyder is the contrast between Michigan's direction and that of Congress and the President. While Michigan has made immense strides in turning the state away from the central planning and labor union-centric approach of the prior Granholm administration, our federal government seems to have doubled down on this template for economic failure. Indeed, former Michigan Governor Granholm – who presided over eight years of record job loss and economic decline during her tenure – is on the short list for national Labor Secretary.
Certainly if any state needed an abrupt change in course, it was Michigan. By almost any measure of misery: unemployment, population loss, bankruptcies, foreclosures, personal income etc. Michigan had the dubious distinction of leading the nation. Some (labor unions, social welfare entitlement advocates – the usual suspects) complain that the changes taking place in our state over the last two years were too many, too fast. Anyone with that view has failed to see (or just refused to believe) that Michigan was in critical condition and needed decisive intervention in order to survive.
The same could be said about our state of affairs at the national level. We are in critical condition and we need decisive intervention in order to turn America around. We need a nerd.
