DHS News March 2012 | DHS News March 2012
Since 2008, DHS has sought talented individuals to participate in the Scholars in Local Government program, a career development initiative designed to attract and retain bright graduates while exposing them to government work in the Pittsburgh region.
The program is now in its fifth year and Erin Dalton, DHS Deputy Director for the Office of Data Analysis Research and Evaluation (DARE), is pleased that the number of quality applicants continues to grow: "We now regularly receive applicants from public policy, health, social work, business and law, and while most of the applicants are local, we receive applications from students graduating from schools such as the University of Michigan, UNC at Chapel Hill and the College of William & Mary," she said. "We received 36 fantastic applications for the 2012 class, and hope to continue to attract qualified applicants and to increase the diversity of our applicant pool each year."
Scholars applicants must have completed their degrees in masters- and doctoral-level programs of social work, public policy, public administration, law, business and related fields, graduating within 18 months of the application deadline. While there are no residency requirements, candidates must be willing to relocate to the Pittsburgh region.
From the pool of applicants, DHS chooses up to two Scholars to participate in the year-long program. Scholars receive on-the-job training, high profile projects tailored to their skills and interests, professional development, and leadership opportunities. Scholars are employed by Great Lakes Behavioral Research Institute and receive both a salary and a full range of fringe benefits.
The two Scholars recently selected for the 2012 class are Ellen Ramsden and Kelly Wilkinson. Both will graduate this spring from the University of Pittsburgh. Ellen will receive her Masters of Public Administration from the School of Public and International Affairs (GSPIA) and Kelly will graduate with a joint degree, receiving her Masters of Public Administration from GSPIA and her Masters of Social Work from the School of Social Work. Both begin their work with DHS this summer.
Applications for the 2013 Scholars class will be available in August 2012. For more information, please contact Megan Good at 412-350-5226 or visit the program's webpage.

Here the description of the item. Comments? Ideas? I'm rather skeptic about the need of another AGoT game: the boardgame, the LCG and the Battles of Westeros series seemed to be covering (or be able to cover in the future) more or less every aspect of Martin's world…

Yea, I'm unsure too. I think I'll start with the standard core, and maybe pick this up for some 1v1 games.

Just a ridiculous idea made real.

For the gamer's, of course we don't need this. But to grow the gamer base and introduce new people to the world of games, yes. It's a great move. It is a hit television show and they are just making it more welcoming by adding HBO pictures.
This is a standalone two player game with water-down rules. I won't be buying these of course but I think it is a great move. We need more gamer's.

To be honest, as a game store owner I an on the fence about getting this product. I've been playing A Game of Thrones since 2005, embraced the LCG model and have kept up a strong community here in my store. I would much rather push a customer towards the original LCG than this product, as they will have a ready community to play the game.
However, the plus side of Game of Thrones is that it is self contained, only requires one other person, and doesn't have dozens of additional product that will intimidate your non-traditional gamer. But I know that the existing AGOT community will only buy this IF they want cards with photos on them, since the cards will not be LCG legal. And I really question of the wisdom of that choice. They could have just reprinted existing cards with these photos and I could have sold many, many more copies.
Posted 05 September 2012 - 02:53 PM
I will buy this and haven't purchased any LCGs. I don't like to build decks before the game starts. This doesn't need that. The only thing that would be better would be a deck building AGOT.
Posted 06 September 2012 - 11:04 AM
I'll throw in my two cents: if it will get my non-lcg gaming friends interested in the Game of Thrones LCG, I'm all for it.
Might even be able to interest my girl friend in playing the game. She cried in frustration after trying the LCG core set when we arrived back home from GenCon 2010. She will not play any of the LCG games because of her experience with the LCG core set. I was surprised at her reaction to the LCG core set. She said she found the LCG core set too confusing.
The M:tG Portal is what got me playing CCG's several years ago. Only time will tell how well this new product is received.
Happy gaming!

Capital University's Center for Faith and Learning announces three important opportunities for faculty and staff to participate in spring and summer retreats and conferences about vocation, interfaith understanding, leadership and more.All expenses for the conferences not already covered through Evangelical Lutheran Church in America grants will be covered by the Center for Faith and Learning. For more information or to register, contact Pastor Gary Sandberg, dean of the Chapel, at email@example.com or 614-236-7737.
May 29-31 at Camp Mowana, in Mansfield, Ohio
This is a retreat to consider the implications of Hope: for our lives, our vocations and for Capital. The Big Questions Retreat has been a staple for Capital faculty and staff for over 15 years. The positive responses we receive show that this continues to be an effective way to grow in community and in learning. Registration is limited to 16 participants and is now open.
June 1-3, at Augustana College, in Rock Island, Ill.There is an opening for a faculty member to join this team of five people from Capital, composed of Pastor Gary Sandberg, dean of the Chapel; the director of Diversity and Inclusion; two students; and a faculty member. The Interfaith Alliance on campus will identify two students of differing faith backgrounds. If you would like to suggest a student or faculty member (including yourself), please contact Pastor Gary, or Rachel Fountain, president of the Interfaith Alliance, firstname.lastname@example.com.
This conference provides an opportunity to discuss best practices, tools for, and real stories of exploring interfaith engagement and developing interfaith literacy on ELCA college and university campuses. This conference will help cohort teams from each campus plan for interfaith engagement on their own campuses. Speakers and facilitators include:
Lutheran Vocation Conference
July 21-23, Augsburg College, Minneapolis, Minn.
The conference will begin with dinner on Monday, July 21, and conclude with lunch on Wednesday, July 23. The theme is: The Vocation of Leadership: What does this mean? Capital can send up to five people. You do not have to be Lutheran to attend; this conference is intended for anyone at an ELCA university. Presentations and speakers include:

Today's Fashion Math -- in which two fabulous elements are added together to form one super stylish outfit -- is inspired by ... myself! I know, how egotistical. But I liked my outfit today and think it demonstrates just how necessary it is to break certain old fashioned style rules about combining prints. My blouse is a floral print, while my jeans are railroad stripe (the stripes are way more obvious in person than captured by the photo above), and I think they look unexpected, but great, paired together. (I even through on leopard print pumps, but that's basically fashion calculus and I don't think we're there yet.) Seriously, stripes and florals may seem like an odd couple, but as the following nine outfits demonstrate, they are actually a perfect pair...

Technology has come a long way since the first CAD programs of the 1980s when young designers often were hired simply to translate handmade drawings into bits and pixels, while the more experienced staff members clung to their pencils for the truly creative work. Today, technology has become much more pervasive at all levels of experience changing the way we approach the very practice of design.
Laser Cutters
Model-making laser cutters have been around for a long time as a tool of professional model makers who cranked out finished products rather than design studies. With the introduction of laser cutters into design schools, recent graduates are as facile using them as my generation was with an X-Acto knife. Today, if you can draw a planar construct in CAD, you can cut it nearly as fast as you can plot it. We now have the luxury of developing multiple design iterations in-house before committing to a solution. One also can take a form modeled in a 3-D program and with unfolding tools, flatten it into a 2-D drawing that can be cut by the laser cutter, and then folded like origami to create an actual model. We use the laser on a variety of tasks, from investigating patterns of openings to creating full-scale mock-ups of components like signage or making color and material boards with beautifully engraved labels.
While mobile phones are ubiquitous, not everyone takes full advantage of the smartphone. With the iPhone, I can navigate (to Web sites or job sites), calculate (fees, hours, area, or costs), translate (dimensions or languages), investigate (products and services), and coordinate (meetings and drawings) on the _ y. Many apps recapture time for design by supporting mundane office drudgery regarding travel, expense reports, timesheets, and invoicing. We now can leave the tape measure, camera, video camera, voice recorder, calculator, GPS, pocket dictionary, laser pointer, and appointment book at the office. The phone allows us to talk while accessing other information, which avoids those "let me get back to you" delays.
When encountering an issue on the job site that needs quick resolution, designers can photograph issues, immediately e-mail or text the photos, and conference call multiple parties to resolve the issue. "I'm not a frequent user of computer technologies, but I'm a complete convert to the Motorola Droid smartphone," says Mark Harbick, AIA, Contract's 2006 Designer of the Year and now an independent design consultant in Manhattan. "I use it to stay in touch with clients and team members while I'm on the road—sending e-mails, answering calls, taking photos, and figuring out where I am with Google maps." In the future he'll be probably be able to Web conference from his phone.
Video Conferencing
Video teleconferencing improves teaming and coordination while saving time, money, and carbon emissions. Now Web-based systems like Skype and iChat have brought this formerly expensive propriety technology to the masses. Since designers and architects tend to be visual communicators, the ability to screen-share is key. These conferences are even more effective with new viewer software that allows parties to view and spin 3-D models without requiring an expensive license. At the opposite end of the spectrum, some firms are making use of very high-tech solutions. "HOK has invested in PolyVision's Thunder technology, which allows people in multiple locations to see and work on the same design or technical documents or a simple flip chart at the same time," says Clark Davis, vice chairman of HOK. "We have coupled that with the Cisco TelePresence videoconferencing system in rooms that we call 'Advanced Collaboration Rooms' in many of HOK's office locations. That saves a lot of trouble, costs, and carbon."
Google Products
When I participated in the Pilot Phase of LEED-CI, I actually had to send staff into the field to document the heights of adjacent buildings to calculate the obvious—that our project was in a dense urban environment. With the aid of Google Earth and Google Street View, this previously time-consuming documentation now can happen almost instantaneously from one's computer. Likewise, many LEED sustainable site or regional material points can be documented using Google Earth features. SketchUp is another Google product that has dramatically changed our work practice, enabling quick 3-D visualization of concepts that clients can move through.
Building Information Modeling
Three-dimensional modeling once was discrete from documentation. Now, early adopters of BIM are reaping the rewards, and those late to convert likely are feeling the pressure to move to an integrated 3-D design and documentation tool. "It has transformed the way we work," says Robin Donaldson, AIA, principal of Shubin + Donaldson Architects. "It forces you to make decisions earlier in the design process. If you use it in schematic design, you need to make critical decisions about the materials, mechanical systems, and structural systems. That's good, because you can't delay critical decisions—BIM forces you to conceptualize more rigorously."
De-silo-izing the tools
Beyond the discrete tools, tremendous power lies in knowing how to integrate them, and this is what really defines the cutting edge. Once, there were distinct tools for designing work (trace and AutoCAD) and others for presenting work (models, perspective renderings, or a computer model), and they would be executed sequentially in isolation using an analog interface. These days, interiors projects often begin with an AutoCAD file of the building supplied by the owner. One designer might use it to create a Revit base model. Another designer might be using the same AutoCAD file in SketchUp to generate conceptual ideas. These ideas would be incorporated into the Revit model to make them more precise and to interface with other disciplines. If a study model is needed, the Revit files are saved to use as plot files for the laser cutter. For a quick progress presentation, the Revit model could be imported back to SketchUp to apply materials, add furniture from Google 3-D Warehouse or manufacturers, study daylighting, or add Google Earth views for context. Illustrator, Photoshop, and PowerPoint help with the creation and presentation of the product. Without clear lines between where one technology stops and the next begins, this kind of "digital collage" is perhaps the model of 21st-century design.

We bought this home and discovered a Fuyu Persimmon tree. The lady who sold us the house said one day the fruit was orange. Next day it was gone. This worried us because that's exactly what happened to our peach on this property! We noticed fruit turning color, and next we noticed bite marks on a few. I don't know anything about persimmons, never having grown or tasted one, but I do know how to protect fruit from rabbits, voles, coons, coyotes and birds. We completely surrounded the lower branches with gopher wire about 3' high. We then attached bird netting to that and completely encased that tree! Every day the fruit gets riper with no interference with nature's critters. It's going to be a trick for us to figure out how to get under all that and pick a nice harvest! Next big job is to learn what to do with all that harvest! |

DD, If you can't eat them all then dry some for winter snack. Tony. |

Persimmons store well (2-3 months) in a cool location. Fuyus can be eaten like an apple since the skin is not aspirent (sp). Makes a great after dinner desert. |
- Posted by desertdance So CA Zone 19 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 17, 13 at 8:04
Nice to know that they store well. What is the flavor like? I did some research online and found that you should prune them off the tree close to the fruit and let them sit a couple days. Is that correct? Thanks! |
- Posted by CharlieBoring 7 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 17, 13 at 12:05
The taste is similar to cantelope, a little bland and sweet. When properly ripe they are quite tasty. I face a problem on my tree with crows and racoons eating them. I have a neighbor who placed paper bags over the fruit to keep the crows off. For the best results, the fruit should turn orange while on the tree. Harvest them after that, but they are best eaten when they start to get soft. The only reason that I prune my tree is to control the shape (cut off the lower limbs to keep the fruit from weighing them down too low) and to remove limbs growing inside and interupting the sun from other limbs. Whe harvesting, I cut the twig close to the fruit and then place the fuit in paper bags in a cool basement for storage. We often eat one after the evening meal as desert, much like the Italians. |

You can slice them evenly and put in a dehydrator and they are pretty good. Not being a big fan of them, I don't worry about protecting the fruit at all. But you might find it easier to put a rat ring on the truck of tin to keep the climbing critters out. The crows like them as much as the rats. They are easier to pick if you clip the steams rather than try and yank the fruit off. |

Top 10 Reasons to Head to Heavenly for the Holidays
There are so many reasons to head to Heavenly for the Holidays, it's hard to pick just 10…
1. Santa's 16-foot Snow Globe.
2. The other SnowGlobe – a three-day music festival held in the woods.
Dec 11th 2014
With back-to-back days of warm weather, summer is officially here at Lake Tahoe. And here at Heavenly, we are more excited than ever to kick off Summer 2014. Over the last few years, we've been hard at work planning and developing new ways to explore the mountain. This Friday, June 13, come check it out for yourself!
Jun 10th 2014
Memorial Day Weekend Fun At Heavenly
With warm temperatures, Lake Tahoe has already played host to stand up paddleboarders, kayakers, and beach go-ers.
In celebration of great weather and a fun-filled summer, Heavenly Mountain will open for summer activities May 25-27 and seven-days-a-week starting June 14. Enjoy Scenic Gondola Rides out of Heavenly Village where Heavenly Donuts and Seattle's Best Coffee will serve freshly made donuts complete with toppings, and specialty coffees. The Gondola ticket window will be open from 10:00a.m.– 4:00 p.m. for daily tickets and Season Pass sales.
May 15th 2013
Last night's storm brought snow to the higher elevations! Our friends at Heavenly were kind enough to send us these snow photos.
Winter is clearly back, so it's time to start thinking about planning that 2012-13 Lake Tahoe ski vacation. Got your Lake Tahoe Six-Pack tickets yet? They are still available, but not for too much longer, so don't delay. We'd hate to hear you missed out on Lake Tahoe's best lift ticket deal.
In the meantime, we'll keep thinking snow - and hope you do too.
Oct 12th 2012
Labor Day Weekend at Heavenly Mountain
Labor Day Weekend is one of my favorite times of the year to spend at Heavenly. We get a chance to celebrate everything summer and it also means winter is just around the corner! The weather is looking phenomenal for the upcoming weekend, so make sure to get outside and take advantage of everything going on in the South Shore.
Aug 24th 2012
Spend a Summer Day at Heavenly Mountain
In my opinion, summer at Lake Tahoe can't be beat. Most days are filled with sunshine, warm but not hot temperatures and so many activities from sandy beaches to challenging hikes to keep you busy. Here at Heavenly, we love transforming our winter playground into the perfect place to spend a summer day.
Jul 20th 2012
Spring Loaded has Sprung at Heavenly!
Though it was one of the more challenging winters on record for Tahoe, the 2011/12 ski and ride season is ending on a high note at Heavenly, with superior surface conditions, a smorgasbord of Spring events and one of the best-value season passes in the industry!

In memory of our founder, David E. Davis, Jr., Automobile Magazine editors are choosing our ten favorite American Driver columns and will be posting one each day over the next two weeks.
In the past few years, the woods around Detroit seemed to be full of writers. First, it was the world's least competent dope broker, Mr. John Z. De Lorean, who attracted them, then Mr. Lee Iacocca, by his own admission the most gifted executive in the history of the automobile. However, Mr. Iacocca himself wrote such a rouser of a book that several authors then decided to try their luck with books about his former employer, Mr. Henry Ford II. Now the Ford books are hitting the stands, and it'll only be a short time before we get a new round of Iacocca books in response.
It has been a rather unattractive brouhaha, all things considered, with contending writers saying rude things about each other and friends of the subjects choosing sides. It is the sort of New York/Paris literary nastiness that seldom occurs in a smoke-stack town like Detroit, but when it does it gives a lot of folks a new lease on life.
If you grew up, as I did, in the shadow of Detroit, you grew up with all kinds of myths about the Ford Motor Company and the family that owned it. When I peddled the morning Free Press during World War II, my route was a chunk of town shaped roughly like a slice of pie--half a mile wide along Main Street, half a mile deep down Ten Mile Road, then back diagonally along the Grand Trunk Railroad tracks to Main Street and the original starting point. My bike was an ancient Sears Roebuck hand-me-down with a Musselman coaster brake that I never understood and splines in the front fork worn so badly that the bike and I almost never went where the handlebars pointed. So I walked. I can't remember the names of all the streets I plodded along during those years, but there were eight or nine of them, and since we lived in a blue-collar town, subscribers for a morning paper were few and far between.
Sometimes customers' houses would be a block apart, giving me plenty of time to fantasize as I folded each paper and prepared to throw it onto somebody's roof or into their bushes. In one fantasy, I was parachuted into Germany to free my Uncle Jim who was in a prison camp there. In another, the woman who supervised our church youth group melted into my arms and resolved a number of mysteries that had been troubling me for the past couple of years.
My most reliable fantasy, however, involved Henry Ford I's gorgeous daughter. I had no idea whether or not the old man actually had such a daughter (he didn't), but no matter. In my fantasy she was my age, and she looked like a cross between Shirley Temple in her early prime and the woman who supervised our church youth group. This golden-haired, nubile young bud would burst out of a house on Kenilworth Avenue just east of Main Street and gaily, unwittingly, run beneath the wheels of a huge transit-mix cement truck.

Fitz & The Tantrums
It all started with a phone call. The X. Best to let voicemail pick that one up! YOU HAVE 1 NEW MESSAGE: "Hey, sorry to call but my neighbor has got to leave L.A in a hurry, he's selling everything including this old church organ for 50 bucks. Do you want it?" This was worth the pain of calling the heartbreaker. "He's got someone coming later today to see it, I don't know what kind it is, if it works...it's gigantic "Pay him, pay him now! Put the 50 dollars in his hand!". "Okay but the landlord says it has to be out of the basement tonight". 13 phone calls to piano movers and 50 dollars later four guys were trying to fit this thing through the front door. That was the beginning. "Breakin' The Chains Of Love" was written that night and the inspiration for the record was born. All the pain of splitting with someone poured out into this 5 song EP of 1960's inspired Soul music. SONGS FOR A BREAK-UP VOL.1 was recorded entirely in Fitz's living room, using one crappy old mic. The songs are influenced by '67 AM radio, Motown and early Hall and Oates records. Fitz was born in France and moved to L.A. as a child. This half French, half Irish kid fended off the California rays with a lot of sunscreen to emerge as an artist with a vision. A soulful voice with infectious songs, Fitz's music makes you wanna' grab a tambourine and dance.

Hello everyone
I am looking for mulberry seeds or seedlings. I want to have all three types, white, red and black. Has anyone else had problems updating their personal information, trade lists(can't post one)or any of the other vital information? I keep getting a warning page from Microsoft saying there is a certificate error with the server(????). Anyway I actually have lots too trade, just to long to do it here. Tell me what you are looking for and I will see if I have it. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would not recommend planting white mulberry with red mulberry - Red mulberry is threatened because of white mulberry .The red native population is being genetically watered down by the aggressive white . If you are going to plant any mulberry - please only plant red. There are a few places that you can get red mulberry although is genetic purity can be questioned along with every other red mulberry in the province . Vandenest Nursery in Eden carries them - Actually my second source for them does not carry them at this moment. There are some American seed houses such as Schumachers?? in Mass - I believe they carry them Jeff |
Evening Jeff(nyssaman) Just to let you know I live in BC so the two nurseries that you suggested won't do me any good. Thanks though. I am also aware of how aggresive the white mulberry is and how endangered the red mulberry is. I had no intentions of having the two of them anywhere near each other. As I have close to five acres to play with I felt they would be far enough apart at opposite diagonal corners of the five acres. I want them as a food source which is why I am looking for all three types. I appreciate your concern and am happy you responded. Sharon |
Rare exotic seeds out of Montreal carries them I believe - are they native to that region? If they are not native don't worry about it..lol. I think the black mulberry is a russian mulberry - don't know much about it. Vandenest nursery does ship their plants. Jeff |
Does Rare Exotic Seeds in Montreal have seeds or do they have just seedlings? Do they also have an internet site? As to whether they are native in BC that is a good question. I will have to check again with my favorite garden shop here. I would imagine that they are, I have seen enough of them in the Greater Vancouver area. I just haven't seen any in the small city that I live in. Most of the mulberries in the Vancouver area are at least 40-50 years old. I have not seen very many young ones. It was like they were a gardening fad. Just like the flowering japanese cherry trees were popular in the post war army veteran housing developments after WWII. My grandparents lived in one of those homes until they died. The cherry trees that are still left are absolutely stunning. They are all 50-55 years old. I would love to have a couple of them but I don't think they would survive the transplanting. Just brings back memories of them both. I will google Vandenest Nursery to see if they have a website. Thanks again for all your help. Nickie |
They are only native to Eastern United states/Canada, I had to check one of my manuals just to be sure. Rare exotic seeds does have a site and they are only a seed house no plants. |

If you talk to me in July when the berries are bursting, I'll send you some (if my kids and the robins don't get to them first!). I have a new bush growing on my property from, I assume, a bird poop. Just fruiting last year after five years of sprouting, about 20' away from the parent tree, so I guess these guys are red (ripest when almost black) mulberries. Calendar this and remind me later in the season. I'll send some along, n.p. |
Hi nyssaman and wendy2shoes nyssaman I checked my manuals and my favorite garden shop and learned the same thing about red mulberries too. We are both working on the same page at least. I did email the official federal Natural Resources website(forestry) and ran across a very intersting article. It is a good resource source. Boy that sentence looks a little funny. Anyway I am waiting for them to email me back with nurseries that have true Red Mulberries. I also asked for growing intruction to make sure they survived where I planted them. wendy2shoes I will definitely put it on my calendar and remind you. Anything you would like in return? Do you know what type your mulberry is? Red, White or Black. I already have person offering a White Mulberry seedling later in the year but am eager for your offering. I am still looking for a true Red Mulberry and a Black Mulberry. Black seems to be the hardest to find. No idea why. Maybe because they are the pickest to grow and take the longest to produce fruit. Thanks to you both |

If you remind me to, I'll take a close up shot of the leaves and berries to help I.D. my trees. I'm almost positive they're black, if that's what the colour of the ripe fruit is supposed to be. The berries go from small, hard, white, to softer red (sour), then sweet when black. I'll see if I can root up a couple of suckers this spring. |
The purest source for red mulberry in Canada is Rondeau Provincial Park - I think there are 12 trees there. You may have to order from the northern US as they have larger populations that are probably unaffected by White Mulberry. I believe all mulberry's end up the same color, purple black . The true way to tell the difference is by Leaf shape but that can be very difficult in areas where the 2 hybridize . There are other subtle differences that I cannot remember at this time. I'm a native grower so I'm pretty familiar with southern Ontario nurseries that would carry this plant. The main restorative native nurseries do not carry it. Only one is vandennest . here is the link: Tell Julie at Vandennest that Jeff in London sent you..lol http://www.amtelecom.net/~edentree/trees.htm |

I just wanted to add that if they have them, that Van Den Nest is really a great place to get tree seedlings from, I ordered for the first time last fall, and will without a doubt order again. Koren in Saskatoon |
Thanks praririe_gal it is good to know. |

Congratulations to those student athletes who have made the 2010 1st and 2nd Team. The names of those who made the 1st and 2nd Team or Honorable Mention are posted here >>.
All-American Scholar Program
Each year, the most academically accomplished Pop Warner kids compete for Academic All-American status. This process begins at the association level (Hagerty is in Mid-Florida) and progresses up through the Regional levels (Hagerty is in the Southeast), continuing to the National level. The Pop Warner Little Scholars program requires a minimum 98%GPA at the association and regional levels and a 96%GPA at the National level.
Each fall, students currently in grade 5 and higher will qualify for the PWLS program by providing a previous year's report card reflecting a minimum 96% GPA. Those qualifying students will receive an application to complete and return by the required date. Once completed and returned to the Little Scholars Director, all applications are forwarded to the Mid-Florida Scholastics Board for review. This board will select its finalists based on a combination of grades (85%) and achievements/extracurricular activities (15%).
Once selections have been made, each scholar will be notified via letter of their selection. They will be invited to attend a banquet where they will be recognized for their achievements.
In addition, all student athletes who are in grades 8 and above are eligible for college scholarship money granted by various community and service organizations. These will be presented to the winners at the scholar banquet.
For additional information regarding the PWLS program, please visit the national website at www.popwarner.com.

The Winter Soldier Fingerless Mitts
So today in the states at least a lovely movie came out. Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Go see it, its fun and a great conspiracy meets Superhero type movie. I even wrote a review here, there is a break before the spoilers if you want to take a read. So in that fashion I wanted a Winter Soldier Geek Craft for today. I mean he shares the name of the movie with Cap, and I've already posted a Captain America Sweater.
So this time it's the Winter Soldier. This free pattern by Maratini on Ravelry are a perfect way to get a fun fiber made metal arm. Much better than being captured and experimented on by evil organizations I would say. And that whole losing an arm bit. That doesn't seem like any fun.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Obama promised he wouldn't let Detroit fail... well yesterday it failed
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
July 19th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Detroit filed bankruptcy Thursday, hopefully ending a long, terminal slide into insolvency. The city has been long beset by lost jobs, urban decay, and massive liabilities for public employees. Despite the inherent problems, Obama pledged to keep Detroit afloat. Today, that pledge failed. DETROIT, MI (Catholic Online) - With the stroke of a pen, Gov. Rick Snyder approved the Detroit's plan to file bankruptcy. Detroit is now the largest metropolitan center in the nation to make such a declaration. The city has been approaching insolvency for years.The slid into bankruptcy has been a long one, with Obama pledging in 2012 that he would not allow Detroit to go bankrupt. That promise apparently only applied to the auto industry. The city faces more than $18 billion in debt, accrued over years of lost jobs, high public wages and benefits, and urban blight. The city has the highest murder rate in over 40 years, and at least 78,000 abandoned buildings. Some areas are almost entirely deserted. Creditors are understandably upset at the decision. It is very possible that municipal bonds could be affected by the filing, which the possibility alone makes the national municipal bond market weaker. After all, if Detroit can reduce its bond obligations, then so might other cities in financial troubles. This could in turn, lead to higher borrowing rates for distressed cities, pushing some cities over the edge. Other creditors, such as the public pension fund will also be drawn into the fight. Public pensions have been called out as one of the major burdens affecting the city. The details of the bankruptcy filing remains secret, but it is expected that the city will try to work out individual deals with creditors that are willing to negotiate. "There were no other viable alternatives," Snyder told reporters during a press conference when he authorized the filing. City officials say they hope the city will emerge from bankruptcy quickly, hopefully next year. Meanwhile, city Mayor, Dave Bing, who had no power in the bankruptcy decision because of a change in state law, said "As tough as this is, I didn't want to go in this direction," Bing said. "Now that we are here, we have to make the best of it. If it is going to make citizens better off, this is a new start for us." For now, creditors, and the people of Detroit, can expect difficult times ahead, but there may be light at the end of the tunnel for the city, if the proceedings go smoothly. However, given the size of the city's liabilities, that may be a bit optimistic. Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

Donor Families
The Alabama Eye Bank is committed to treating donors and their families with dignity and respect.
Your loved one's gift of sight has made a significant difference in another's life, whether the cornea was transplanted to restore vision or used in research to prevent blindness. Thousands of individuals have been impacted thanks to the compassion of donor families like yours.
On behalf of the visually impaired, the Alabama Eye Bank thanks you for your support of donation. We continue to keep your family in our thoughts.
Donor Family Consent & Release Forms
Actual letter sent to a recipient from a donor family
Dear Recipient:
This is one of the most joyful letters that I've ever written because I know that you now have the restored sight to read it.
I am 41 years old, a wife, a mother of two, and the youngest of three daughters belonging to a wonderful lady that you also now share a part of. I was so excited to hear that both of our mother's corneas were used and that someone now has the Gift of Sight because of her. Just knowing that a small part of her lives on means so much. Losing someone you love is never easy, but knowing that two lives were touched in such a special way really does lessen the pain.
We received a portrait of our mother last week and her eyes were really twinkling. My wish for you is that the twinkle in her eyes will shine on through you for many years to come. God bless you and your family. Sincerely,
A Grateful Donor's Daughter

The hunger for facile wisdom is the root of all false philosophy. |

Actually, it does make sense. In fact, I'd be willing to bet it's behind alot (not all) of the arguing that goes on over on the other side. |
Take it up with Santayana Inky. I happen to agree with him, especially when referring to recipes for tomato salad. |
- Posted by marshallz10 z9-10 CA (My Page) on Fri, Feb 5, 10 at 9:40
KW, I prefer your aphorism over the OP. Not being contrary here but I've eaten fruit salads out of the can without tomatoes but have eaten salads with both fruit and tomatoes: tomatoes, cukes, zucchini, mandarin with young mizuna and raspberry vinaigrette. |
I've eaten a peanut butter and jam sandwich from time to time but it wasn't my hunger for facile wisdom that made me do it, I knew that it would be good even though such judgments are the root of false philosophy. |
- Posted by marshallz10 z9-10 CA (My Page) on Fri, Feb 5, 10 at 14:27
Ink, eating pbj sandwich is not seeking wisdom, facile or not. |
In certain instances eating a pbj would be wise as well as facile. Not sure enjoying pbjs qualifies as a philosophy false or otherwise but perhaps it does. What's wisdom? Is it not a philosophy, a knowledge of truth or justice derived through past experience or learning? Wisdom is hard won, it is the grind, been there done that, not something you come by easily facilitated by catchy sayings. The only way I would know if a tomato doesn't ever belong in a fruit salad is if I've experienced every iteration of tomato inclusive fruit salad. Can I otherwise eliminate the possibility of a delicious melon, mint and tomato drizzled w/ extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of sea salt combination? Therefore I posit that the notion of tomato exclusive fruit salad amounts to false philosophy. |
Oh well. The quoted aphorism was meant to demonstrate the difference between knowledge and wisdom and the superiority of wisdom. I understand that you think a fruit salad CAN have tomatoes in it and that a regular salad CAN have fruit in it but this does not alter the truth of the aphorism. Unless of course you also disagree that there is a difference between knowledge and wisdom. I agree that this is a facile example (don't ALL aphorisms fall into this category?) but it was not intended as a treatise or as a philosophical absolute (if such a thing exists) it was certainly not presented as a law. As for yours, do you think anyone hungers for "facile wisdom", it being an oxymoron by your own definition, i.e. "Wisdom is hard won". I don't think I understand what a "false philosophy" is perhaps it is presenting some loosely connected words as wisdom. |

Are you accusing someone of ANYTHING? |
Yeah Bill, don't you have ANYTHING to say about ANYTHING or are you just arguing about NOTHING? Bet your team lost too. |
"Man you guys will argue over ANYTHING!" That's just not true! I would never argue over anything, well maybe not never but rarely if ever. I'm far more likely to argue over nothing. "do you think anyone hungers for "facile wisdom", it being an oxymoron" Yes, I do. People want to deceive themselves into believing they're wise or can attain wisdom without having to do the work. Selling shortcuts to wisdom, happens all the time organized religion being the most obvious example. Being a pragmatic absurdist it's my belief that people hunger for oxymorons more than they do most things. |

Well, then, they've come to the right forum!! Oxymorons along with alot of OTHER kinds, too!! :-) (on BOTH sides!) |

Others were standing in front of the laundry detergent isle way too long also, so I must not be the only person who hates the stuff. The lids are on way too tight and I cannot open the bottles. The concentrate does not clean as well either. I think it is just a new way to get more money out of us. Now to top everything else off, DH used "just a cup" to wash his pickup. My head hurts! I am going back to powdered detergent and will mix it with water outside before putting it in the washer. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm sure all brands of laundry detergent are "benefiting" because of using too much of their products per load. It's like Mr. Heinz said about his ketchup, "It's not the ketchup they use that makes us rich, it's the ketchup they they leave on their plate." And I'm sure there is a magic line inside the cap that is for accurate measuring, not the full cap. How many people had never used ALL until it came in the concentrated form? Good hook, I'd say. -Grainlady |
You should never use such harsh detergents on you cars or trucks. It can ruin the paint. I have recently switched to powdered soap. For years i have complained about these little dark speckles that magicaly appear in my cloths. In the cleaning forum i learned that it is caused by too much suds in the laundry soap. So i have switched to powder and i think the problem has been solved. |

Sorry you had to go through that ,Lexi . Bottles can be so hard to open sometimes. I HATE those caps ! One time - I couldn't get a bottle of toilet cleaner open .... I Was so ticked - I threw the whole bottle away. ( I never ever got this mad - but this cap put me over the edge ) You got the double whammy --- hard to open and the cleaner stunk ! I hope you got your money back . I know how you feel . We live and learn , don't we ? |
Ninos the repairman said liquid detergent is better for the washer, but if I wanted to use powder, to mix it with water first. It seems the dust from the powder detergent gunks up the washing machine. Toomuchglass, thanks for the kind words. Not being able to open stuff or find stuff are two of my pet peeves. I can tell you understand because I have thrown bottles away too. Yes we do live and learn. |
Throw something away that I can't open? NEVER! I march it right back to the store and get a refund. I usually ask one of them if they can get it open and watch them struggle until they give up and refund me. |
~~Giggle~~ ;~) This tightwad did not leave the bottle in the trash. After I cooled down, I got a pipe wrench and opened the stuff. It saved a trip to the store. I really hate to return stuff, but do when it is necessary. It seems that all liquid detergent is now packaged in 2x concentrate. I wish there was an alternative. |
I've never had a time when I couldn't get a bottle open. Granted, I have used a Channelock on a couple or a strap wrench, but it comes open! :) However my pet peeve is the reverse - when the caps loosen during transit and leak when I'm taking them home! That's why I always make sure the cap is on tight before putting it in the cart and I usually double check while putting it on the belt to check out and even triple check when I'm bagging it! And personally, I like the idea of the concentrated formulas. Now that I'm more crippled up, the weight and bulkiness of things is far more of a concern to me. Actually, I was hoping to get the 2x version when I broke down and tried Tide this time, but the stench/dye free version was only available in regular formula. It's just the elimination of water so I don't see how it can't clean as well. It also results in less plastic needing to be made, less plastic for the landfills, less cost in transporting it so less fuel used, less labor costs, less room required on the store shelves, it's easier on the backs of those who stock it and easier on my back carrying it home and down the basement, even easier on me each time I grab the bottle to use it. These are all good things IMO. I've griped for years that they should do more of this. I think they could make it even more concentrated and I'd be happy! Wouldn't bother me to use an eyedropper to put a drop of detergent into the washer! And actually, the more concentrated it is, the more that is left in the bottle at the end so they would make more off the people who don't bother rinsing the bottle or diluting it. I used to dislike powders because it always caked up on me so bad. One of the main reasons I switched to liquid. But I don't notice that anymore. Perhaps they've changed it. Seems to me it's more of a larger granule than what used to be powder and that's the difference. I threw out a lot of powdered detergent in my day! But now, the powders are losing market share dramatically. Won't be many left before long, that is of what's left now. Several stores around here have discontinued powders altogether. I do have a gripe though about these crazy bottle designs they're using now! They're not well balanced, not very ergonomic and I would sure prefer a squared off plain old bottle with a functional handle if needed. I don't need my laundry detergent bottle to look like a snowman or something. That's one thing I did like about Amway's products. They had a nice square bottle, easy to grip, fit on a shelf nicely and was highly concentrated. Don't know if they still use those bottles anymore or not. While I'm on my oversized "non-compacted" soapbox I'll gripe about ice cream pails too! Make 'em square! Canada has 'em, so get with it US! (end of rant...) BTW, bravo on the pipe wrench use! As Edgar K.B. Montrose says, there's no problem to large or too small that can't be solved with a couple of well-placed sticks of dynamite... Tempting sometimes, isn't it? :) |
Today I bought Gain Powder, for $9.97 it will wash 80 loads. Gain Liquid for the same price will wash only 64 loads. So I am back to powders. I love the lightweight box with the plastic handle. It is perfect for storing things in later. |
I've usually used powder (as someone said - cheaper and easier to haul) but got a good buy in liquid at a discount store a while ago, and it seems to work O.K. Cynic, I think that some of the people in Canada have square heads, too. Those squarish tubs are handy - and take up less space in the store and in my freezer. And I need all of my freezer space to store stuff from the garden, these days. It's a good sized chest freezer ... and almost full. ole joyful |

I basically use powder detergent--the concentrated kind. I don't like the "classic" ones, because they have the unnecessary fillers. However, I use liquid detergent for certain things and I like the Wisk 3x concentrate. It does a great job. |
I love powdered detergent. I only use tide with bleach. |
I was doing some reading on the 2x versions of the P&G products. They call it "compaction". Gotta get a fancy word for concentrated, I guess. Anyway, I guess they have actually changed the formulas. The Tide has different enzymes in the 2x and they claim it cleans better, works better on certain stains, etc. The Gain is supposed to hold the scent better and Cheer is supposed to work better too. I don't know, it's what they're claiming. So I guess my assumption that it's simply removing water and plastic was incorrect. So I stand corrected. BTW Joyful, don't you Canadians have square wheels on your cars too??? :) I saw it on South Park so it must be true! |

The media's bad job of reporting on teenage pregnancy and parenting has real-life consequences and effects on teenage families, including depression and generational poverty. By removing these stereotypes, and changing to more positive story lines and outcomes, people in the media can make it easier on teens to create thriving families.
The "egg baby" has gone high-tech: Youth advocacy group Do Something has a teen pregnancy campaign that purports to teach young people what it's like to have a baby via text message. Unfortunately, the campaign fails, in both concept and execution.
When the Bloomberg administration unveiled its teen pregnancy prevention campaign last March, it was met with immediate backlash. Now the city has updated the campaign website, but the site doesn't abandon all of the problematic language featured in the previous campaign.
A baby isn't a bargaining chip. Having a child with someone doesn't increase your chances of having that person stick around. Having a baby with a guy means doesn't mean you'll cement him to you. Think twice…and again.
The nation with the highest adolescent pregnancy and birth rates in the industrialized world has not figured out how to meet the educational needs of pregnant and parenting teens. In fact, we're going the other direction – gutting the too-rare programs that have developed to meet the unique needs of teen parents.
As amusing as the Sarah Palin family circus may seem to gleeful liberals, there is something sad about it too. How many lives have been ruined by the kind of high-minded, impractical approach to sex that Sarah Palin's party pushed?
There's something appealing about Tyra Banks's non-nonsense approach to Levi Johnston: she'd make a pretty good big sister, if a bad sex ed teacher.
Spain to liberalize abortion laws; anti-choicers target state funding for Planned Parenthood; Brazil shuts down websites selling misoprostol; medical records follow Phill Kline to Virginia; Sarah Palin silent as National Abstinence Education Association criticizes Bristol; men's reactions to abortion.
In a stroke of media mastery, Bristol Palin harnessed the Palin family-doting Fox News last night to announce a powerful message for policy makers: abstinence only is "not realistic."
An entire country is outraged over a very young father. Instead of looking for someone to blame, we should all realize: abstinence-only has failed young people.

I'm surprised that the review for this mascara is so low on this site. This is my HG mascara, I will definitely repurchase this once it's out, but at the rate I'm using that's going to be a long time away.
What I love about this mascara is that it doesn't give me panda eyes after a long day. In fact this is the only mascara I've tried that stays on the whole day and doesn't melt with my oils and tears. Even if I accidentally rub my eyes the worst that happens is it flakes a little. And yet despite having such great staying power it comes off easily with warm water.
Can't recommend this enough.
More reviews by lollipopgraceE
Ok I must say I am not very surprised at the low ratings here on mua, but I believe that is only because may people are not using it correctly/ as directed. Before when I tried putting on Fiberwig the way I usually put on mascaras (by just sweep it on, zig zagging horizontally, etc) the results were pretty nonexistent. However, if you do that once and then keep on going over the tips of your lashes, the length you can achieve is amazing! Plus no clumps and my favorite, easily removed with water (I'm pretty lazy). This is my HG for now, but I am currently looking for a possible dupe. I know Dolly Wink Long mascara is pretty similar but the price is still up there with Fiberwig. :/ Anyways definitely recommend this for a natural look! If you like thicker lashes, you could try using the Dior lash plumping serum (primer) underneath which works very well with Fiberwig.
btw Fiberwig is simply amazing for the lower lashes because it doesn't smudge or clump and looks like your actual lashes, just longer ^^
Best mascara I have ever used, without a doubt. I have short, dead straight asian eyelashes and no mascara has ever done anything other than leave a line of make up underneath my eyes (because my top eyelashes point straight down!)
For best results I first apply 1, light coat of loreal kaleidoscopic, but any mascara would do, it's just to give the fiberwig something to hold on to. Then a couple of layers of fiberwig. (if you don't have dead straight asian eyelashes you probably wouldn't need this first coat).
It seriously lengthens your eyelashes! When you remove it, it comes off a bit weird like false eyelashes, but that's just how good it is.
I have Fiberwig Paint-On False Lashes Extra Long (doesn't say beautenizer on it...)
This is seriously the coolest mascara I have ever had the pleasure of using. My eyelashes touch my eyebrows with it on! (lemme tell you...they didn't before!)
It really REALLY does lengthen! The formula is very wet and takes some time getting used to. I also found that i usually need to comb it out with another mascara brush after i apply a coat. But this stuff works! One swipe, and you can already see visible length.
Taking it off is kinda cool too. It says you only need warm water to take it off (i always use remover, so i can't attest to this claim) It comes off in little worm-y lines (which is alarming if you aren't expecting that).
Really incredible product. Kind of expensive (i ordered mine from ebay, so it was only about $12) but typically it runs for over $20.
ITS WORTH IT (get it on ebay! save some $)
edit: warning, it only lasts for 1 month
My favorite mascara! The only one that does not smudge on my oily lids in the humid climate. Good lengthening effect but no volumizing or curling effect. Best to use 2-3 layers and let dry in between tot build volume, and follow with a heated lash curler. Super easy to remove with warm water. Better my other high end mascara. Slight itch on the eye on remover though, for those with sensitive eyes should not try.
Great mascara, it really lengths a lot!! for my asian non-existent eye lashes at least, use this in combination with Majolica majorca lash expander frame plus (the comb) one and they are really really great together. As for the "falsies" look that some youtube reviewers has reported I haven't seen that on my lashes as of yet after using this for almost a year now....
But still like this none the less, it gives a natural lengthening effect, and every easy to remove,with just hot water and cetaphil when I remove my makeup, it comes right off, even though its water proof.
It does what it says, but it only takes time and effort to apply constantly to build up the lashes, but the results are amaaazing !!!!!!! Definitely worth it.
I'm really surprised to see the negative reviews of this product. I have tried a lot of mascaras and I just find this awesome. It never flakes until you want it to (i.e. while washing it off). It washes off very easily without any eye makeup remover - so no panda eyes. It doesn't clump, so your eyelashes still look separate and natural. And boy does it lengthen them.
That said, I have very thick dark lashes to begin with. Mascaras easily look clumpy and overdone on me. I just use a bit of mascara on the ends for extra length. Perhaps I would have a very different review if I needed volume and color, and had to add a lot of product.
More reviews by kitkatelectric
it really pains me to write a negative review on this product because i wanted to like it so badly. I have the new version of this mascara: the beautinizer with the curved brush.
i really hate this mascara with a passion.
-crispy hard lashes
-lashes that clump together to form 5 big thick lashes
-clumpy clumpy clumpy
-doesn't hold a curl
-no more lengthening than maybelline colossal volum express mascara
i'm so disappointed...my eyelashes look like disgusting insect legs with this on.

FILE - In this file photo taken March 30, 1987, Indiana's Keith Smart (23) fires a shot past Syracuse's Howard Triche for a basket, putting Indiana ahead by one point in the final seconds of the NCAA Championship game in New Orleans. Known by Hoosiers fans to this day as ``The Shot,'' and known in much less complimentary terms by Syracuse faithful, that 16-foot jumper from the left side with 5 seconds to play is a film clip staple throughout March.

WASHINGTON — Cody Zeller couldn't come up with an exact figure for the number of times he's seen Keith Smart's game-winning shot from the 1987 title game against Syracuse on television.
The Indiana sophomore forward estimated he's viewed it a "fairly decent amount."
"It's obviously a part of Indiana's history," Zeller said Wednesday.
The fifth-ever meeting between the storied programs took place in Thursday's late East Regional semifinal at Verizon Center.
The Hoosiers and the Orange have played in New Orleans, New York City, twice in Maui and now Washington, D.C.
Syracuse won three of the previous four games in the series.
Indiana's only victory came the first time the teams played. It also happened to be for the national title.
The Hoosiers won 74-73 with Smart produced one of the more memorable moments in the tournament's history, making the go-ahead jumper from the left side with five seconds remaining.
"It's always difficult when you lose in the championship game, the last game of the year and the last shot; that's always a difficult thing," Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said.
Boeheim coached Syracuse to a 31-7 record that season.
"You never get over games like that," he said. "I thought we played as well as we could play in that game. Indiana was a big, big favorite in that game. I thought we played as well as we could play and we certainly had a lot of opportunities to win the game. At the end of games you can be ahead, you can be a little bit better, but that doesn't mean you're going to win."
Smart's impact went beyond the final points of the game.
"Keith Smart made 10 of their last 12 or 13 points," Boeheim said. "He played great the whole last part of the game after being taken out of the game, and he was one of the guys that I was worried about in that game. He came back in and he was the guy that beat us."
Syracuse senior guard Brandon Triche's uncle, Howard, played for Boeheim on the 1987 team.
"I've seen him play but I haven't seen the actual whole game," Brandon Triche said. "I think watching it was like a missed assignment. I haven't directly talked to him about it."
For Boeheim, winning the 2003 national title against Kansas eased the pain from the 1987 game.
"We played very well in the game," Boeheim said. "When you lose a game like that, you really almost never get over it. I got over it in 2003.
"I probably thought about it for those (16) years most of the time. I never think about it anymore. "
Boeheim remembered the advice former Indiana coach Bob Knight gave him after the contest.
"Coach Knight was good after the game," Boeheim said. "He told me we would get back and win it, he just didn't tell me it would take (16) years.
"He's smart, just not that smart."
