SHERIDAN — It's almost tax season and students and faculty in the Sheridan College business department will offer the free Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program again this year.
The program, which is a branch of the Wyoming Free Tax Service, will meet at Sheridan College's Griffith Memorial Building, room 10. The scheduled times are Feb. 27, March 7, March 13, March 28, April 10 and April 11, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Drop-ins are welcome, however, appointments take priority. Call 674-6446 for an appointment.
The program offers assistance with relatively simple tax returns, including itemized deductions, interest, dividends, small businesses (under $10,000 of expenses), unemployment, tuition and fees, earned income credit, educational credits and much more. Generally, the income limit is $65,000 or less, but if the returns are simple, the amount can be expanded.
"This is always a great opportunity for the Sheridan College business department to help community members get a head-start on their taxes," SC business instructor Tracy Dearinger said.
Participants are required to bring the following: all Social Security cards for taxpayer and all dependents, photo ID for taxpayer and spouse, all W-2s, 1099s, 1098-Ts, mortgage interest statements, real estate tax statements, medical expenses receipts, any charitable contributions receipts, proof of insurance if you have it, and any other document pertaining to taxes.

Alloy Response: well,. There you go,..I,...have huge boobs.
What kind of stuff did you get into after high school?
Alloy Ash After high school I had a full time welding job I was working 50+ hours a week in a shop so I really didn't have much time to focus on anything else but I was good at what I was doing!
How did you get into modeling?
Alloy Ash I went to a photoshoot with a model as her escort to a shoot with Mathew Dolinar, Matt finished his shoot with the model and asked if I was interested in shooting with him, I did a few more shoots with Matt and posted them on model mayhem, after that the flood gates were open.
How long have you been modeling?
Alloy Ash haha, believe it or not I have been modeling for a few months now
How did you feel being in front of the camera for the first time?
Alloy Ash I was a little nervous I guess as I said my first shoot I wasn't expecting to be the one in front of the camera! It was exciting tho and I had a lot of fun.
How did you feel walking into your photoshoot?
Alloy Ash Confused!? As I was supposed to be an escort to the shoot and ended up shooting as a model.
So would you say you are comfortable in front of a camera now?
Alloy Ash Yes definatly! There are challenges I come across working with different photographers but welcome each one. I give 100% on every shoot and I'm not a prissy girl so if the photographer wants me to hang from a ledge 8 ft in the air in 5 inch heals I do it and I do it well! So yes comfortable but I'm always finding new challenges!
Would you say you are pretty comfortable with your body?
Alloy Ash I am very comfortable with my body, I've been known to walk around my suburban back yard nude or lay in the hammock in the buff.
What would you say is your best feature?
Alloy Ash Id like to say my versatility, but I'm sure we're looking for physical features so I'd say my breasts, most photographers say connection with the camera and physical, my stomach.
What's the best thing about being a model?
Alloy Ash Getting to do fun and new things. I love the satisfaction of wowing the photographer and getting awesome images! I love being an idol for other girls and getting new fans! I also love seeing all the new locations and traveling. It's an adventure always and I love it.

Alloy Ash I'm up for any challenge and I have fun doing it! I strive to get a perfect photo every time the camera clicks! I'm very easy to get along with and I take direction well! I'm also very creative and flexable i can find that random pose that hasn't been seen before or get that expression that makes the photo amazing.
Where do you hope your modeling will take you?
Alloy Ash Right now I am just having a great time, but who doesnt want fame? And I have the drive and determination to get it.
Any highlights in your modeling career?
Alloy Ash Talking to people who exist in another realm, by that I mean someone who you so idolize that they don't really exist to normal people (aka me) your favorite celebrity etc..I've talked to my favorite street artist "buff monster" (almost got to take him to dinner), Camilla d'Errico follows me on twitter, Emilie Autumn commented on how sexy my tattoos were and already shooting with some photographers who most believe to be the best out there.
Where can we find you on a typical weekend, if you aren't doing a photoshoot?
Alloy Ash Typically at home playing house of the dead! Resident evil, or some other awesome video games, a lot of girls are claiming video game geek since it's a hot trend, but do they have custom painted wii guns with octopus tentacles on them? Hrmm,..?
What keeps you busy away from modeling?
Alloy Ash Well I always have something to do I like to stay busy, I love welding so you can find me in the shop pretty often, I love being home cooking dinner for my boyfriend or working on my house. I love creating new things a painting or a dress maybe a neckless.
What do you want to do outside of modeling?
Alloy Ash What keeps you busy away from modeling and want to do outside of modeling should be the same question, because if you want to do something, you should be doing it. Don't just talk about your goals, strive to make them happen! It takes a lot of work, but if you keep pushing you will be happy with the results
Five years from now, where do you see yourself?
Alloy Ash let's see, 5 years,. Hah 5 years ago I was just a high school junior! So let's see, so many things have happened in such a quick time I really don't know, I do know I'll be busting my butt in the meantime shooting publications worldwide gaining popularity and recognition. You will be seeing more of alloy ash and It won't take 5 years,..you can bet on it!
What is the coolest thing a fan has ever done for you?
Alloy Ash Fan art, I love fan art! An artist named rambozos just did an absolute amazing painting of me, I have works in progress with t.c.cor and delva borno also, I've had some really cute girls email me saying I inspired them or I'm an idol to them and that's really fun to hear too!
Any photographers you enjoy working with or hope to work with?
Alloy Ash Andy Silvers, Andy hartmark, lithium picnic are on my wish list and I really enjoyed working with "almost" every photographer I've worked with I even hate to name names because I dont want to leave great people out. But to name a few, Robert Alvarado, Lisa boyle, Tony focus, Scott Miron and Philip'e

Tell us something you got away with?
Alloy Ash When I was younger me and my friend Tab would go door to door asking for items for a "scavenger hunt" like a quarter from the year 1965-1973, a dime between the year of 1980-1990, a dollar bill with a serial number ending in 5 and other random items. When we had enough change gathered up we would just go buy cigarettes cause there never was a scavenger hunt. That's right,..I was a pretty crafty kid haha.
Which celebrity would you like to meet and why?
Alloy Ash Emilie Autumn, Camilla d'Errico, Buff Monster
Best pickup line you've ever heard?

Alloy Ash I make dinner for my friends a lot, my brother Kevin was eating some fully loaded vegi nachos (no I'm not vegitarian, I like steak and like it raw) he bit into one and the beans weren't beans but instead it was full of wasabi! After gagging for a bit he looked for more green wasabi, not finding it he ate another which was full of brown anchovie paste! Eww!

Alloy Ash My boyfriend owns a Detroit based tattoo shop, treats me amazing and completely supports my modeling to the fullest, he even started my model mayhem and is getting my website up and running, he gets to take time off from work so we get to travel together so that's great! He's always bragging about my latest modeling job, latest meal I've made him for dinner, welding project or how much my cranky polish grandfather likes him haha.
Give us the dirt on your dating life. Any first date rules?

Subjects: Eighteenth-century philosophy , History of ideas and intellectual history
The period from Kant to Hegel is one of the most intense and rigorous in modern philosophy. The central problem at the heart of it was the development of a new standard of theoretical reflection and of the principle of rationality itself. The essays in this volume consider both the development of Kant's system of transcendental idealism in the three Critiques, the Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science, and the Opus Postumum, as well as the reception and transformation of that idealism in the work of Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel.

Lost Cargo
Photograph by NOAA/MBARI
Crabs and deep-sea snails crawl on a sunken shipping container that's giving scientists a rare opportunity to study marine debris up close.
Pictured in December 2013, the 40-foot-long (12-meter-long) container is one of 15 that fell off the cargo ship Med Taipei on February 26, 2004, when she encountered rough waters off Monterey Bay, California (map).
A few months later, scientists with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) happened upon the structure while checking on other experiments about 4,200 feet (1,280 meters) deep in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.
It proved a valuable discovery: No one knows how the estimated 10,000 containers that are lost in the ocean every year affect the environment. (See: "Pictures: Surprising Amount of Trash Found on Deep-Sea Floor.")
"We're fortunate enough to be in the unique position to study one container," which holds 1,159 steel-belted tires, said Andrew DeVogelaere, the sanctuary's research coordinator.
DeVogelaere and team, who studied the container for the first time in March 2011, recently went for another look, accompanied by MBARI biologist James Barry.
The team surveyed the animals living on and around the container, gathered sediment to test for toxins leaching from the container, and visited an unexplored portion of the ocean.
Barry said he noticed more animals living on the sunken object now than in 2011, but he thinks the low-oxygen environment will limit any more arrivals.
The low oxygen has also kept the container from degrading, so it's hard to tell that the container has been underwater for almost a decade.
"It's only starting to rust in places where it was damaged, maybe where it fell off [the ship]," DeVogelaere noted.
"I'm thinking these containers could be down there for centuries."

Gray tunicates, flower-like medusae, and white tube worms (pictured in December) are among the animals that now call the piece of cargo home.
"The container is a big habitat for animals that can't live in sediment," MBARI's Barry said. "Things that live on rocks can live on it, as long as they can tolerate the potential toxicity." For instance, paint that flakes off the shipping container may contain hazardous materials.
This new habitat may also unwittingly help invasive species spread across the ocean.
"If you provide stepping-stones of lost containers from one port to another," DeVogelaere said, "we could be opening deep-sea highways for species to move around where they naturally wouldn't be."

A large, unidentified crab watches as a robotic arm from a remotely operated vehicle collects a sediment core near the shipping container.
During the recent expedition, scientists gathered 48 sediment cores from under and around the containers, as well as from up to 1,600 feet (500 meters) away. (See pictures of people who live in shipping containers.)
The team plans to test the mud for heavy metal toxins that may have come from the container or from paint chips peeling off it.

Ocean Surprise
Photograph by MBARI
Crabs, sponges, and coral (pictured) were among the surprises found on Sur Ridge, a little-explored area about 28 miles (45 kilometers) off Point Sur, California.
Barry and DeVogelaere decided to spend the last day of their December expedition exploring this ridge, which, at about 11 miles (17 kilometers) long and about three miles (five kilometers) wide, is roughly the size of Manhattan. (Also see "Huge Asphalt Volcanoes Discovered Off California [2010].")
A geologist had visited some areas on the ridge about ten years ago, but the team set out for other areas so far unseen by people, including a steep slope on the northern end of the ridge.
The team's remotely operated vehicle spotted colorful gardens of coral, sponges, and other life, including a large bubblegum coral that wasn't known to live in this part of the region.
DeVogelaere felt a sense of wonder while looking at the terrain: "You know that you're the first human eyes to ever look there. The whole ship has this sense of exploration and excitement that builds on itself as you see one cool animal after another."

Mind-Blowing Coral
Photograph by MBARI
Bundles of polyps on deep-sea bubblegum corals (Paragorgia arborea) look like wads of chewing gum in a recent picture taken at Sur Ridge.
Once colonized on hard rock, these corals can grow for hundreds of years, reach up to 20 feet (6 meters) tall, and provide an important fish habitat.
They're also plentiful in the area: "From 1,200 meters [3,900 feet] deep to 800 meters [2,600 feet] deep, we saw them in just about every frame," DeVogelaere said. "That just blew our minds." (See pictures of coral reefs.)

Vampire Squid
Photograph by MBARI
Scientists also spotted a young vampire squid (pictured) near Sur Ridge.
When threatened, these squid peel back their webbing and stretch their tentacles along the length of their bodies, revealing threatening rows of spines. (Watch a video of a vampire squid turning itself inside out.)
"It's a shame we can't visit these places several times a year," DeVogelaere noted, adding that there are many mysteries left when it comes to deep-sea exploration.
"I'm sure we'll get back to Sur Ridge and find all sorts of other things."

text: The 642 was a logical choice as I previously owned a Ruger SP101 of which kicked like mule with .357s. The 642 is light, fairly accurate at close range and I do not feel under gunned with the .38 +P Gold Dots. My choice was the 642 and this is one gun I will not sell off. I also added the Crimson Trace grips. Carries comfortably in a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster while in very loose khakis shorts or loose pants.

This audio book is replete with common knowledge and platitues presented in a style that I found very difficult to listen to. This is not a scholarly work.

breakfast is good, staff is nice and room is clean
it is a bit cold in the rooms, and wifi is only 200 mb for free, if you pass it you have to pay 10 JD

The facility is located at the center of amman in between the main circles covering all amman city Staff is very helpful Rooms are clean and elegant Recommended for ahort and long trips
staff very nice and very good service.
the room a bit tacky. surrounding area with residential and embassies. nothing interesting place around that area.
Quiet location Clean Big double bed Relatively cheap
Taxis a rip off from hotel Breakfast was limited A lot of building work near hotel so quite noisy in morning (not their fault) Pillows and air con could be better
Very friendly and helpful staff, small hotel and in a quiet neighbor, when not overrun with cars and young people at night at the bar scene that is the hotel.
It is a nice, older, facility, but more a night club that a hotel. there are two bars associated with the hotel, which is small, and the bar patrons overrun the hotel. further, I was told I could not eat in the outside bar as that was reserved for bar guests; everything is geared to the bar business, and alcohol, which was strange in a muslim country. regarding food, no fruit or fruit juice for breakfast, but staff will make omlettes. the staff is excellent and friendly and ready to help.
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel: - lovely staff - the bars and the restaurants in the hotel were great - Owners very friendly
Upper Floor renovated rooms. Rooftop cocktails with city views.
Gritty carpet in in renovated rooms. Wifi login. Poor breakfast. Construction. Had to demand a renovated room.
staff are very good .... friendly very helpful we had special condition when we got in there they helped us a lot.
Wifi !!!!! :( god WiFi is bad in there people say smoking kills but WiFi over there kills.

I spent four nights at the Hisham Hotel in Amman Jordan. My initial impression of the room was positive as it was spacious and I found the bed to be comfortable. I noticed an ammonia cleaning smell when I entered the bathroom but it did not mask the odor coming from what smelled like backed up drains and/or sewer pipes. Despite the toilet being cleaned daily these vapors persisted. The bathroom was always spotless in appearance but the smell made me think it was not clean. I had a similar experience when walking on the floors in a pair of light colored socks. The floors were mopped daily and looked clean but the bottom of my socks told a different story after only a few minutes. From this point forward I wore flip flops when I was in the room and when taking showers. There are two bars located on the property and it was impossible for me to sleep before 2:am in the morning when the bars closed down due to the loud music and noise coming from those locations. As a result of this I slept late each day and did not make the most of my trip to see what Amman has to offer. It is also worthy to note that the hotel is not within convenient walking distance to the old city/city center as advertised. Walking to the downtown area will take 35 to 40 minutes if you do not get lost. These areas are best reached by taxi for tourist who are not familiar with the city. Fortunately cabs are not expensive when compared to the us or Europe. I found the staff to be friendly but utterly lacking in initiative, motivation and customer service. Two instances demonstrated this observation. First instance: I had difficulty using the three prong wall socket to charge my laptop. The plug was configured correctly with two prongs and a third opening for the ground rod but the spacing was not correct and the plug did not fit. Upon closer examination I found signs where the wall socket displayed signs of forced entry.
Staff were friendly.
Construction works near the hotel were very loud. The room air conditioner was too noisy to be turned on at night.
I recommended for single travel ... Excellent.
No toilet sprayer.
It was well located and just what we expected and staff were very helpful. Breakfast served outside on a very pleasant little side street.
Friendly staff. The credit card machine was broken so this was inconvenient as I had to go to the ATM for cash.
The rooms were smokey and dirty. The carpet which was supposed to be cream colored was practically gray. I came down with the flu as a result of the dirty room. I would not stay here again. The value for the money after you add in tax and other charges is no bargain. You are better off staying at a fancier hotel.
I was given a room which I didn't like because it was small and the window was facing a wall but staff was very helpful and next day they let me choose from 5 rooms. Hotel has 4 bars with lovely staff. Food in the restaurant was nice, depsite poor breakfeast. I will recommend this hotel, deffinetly.
Very poor breakfest, almost nothing good to eat.
Location is like a hide out near the city.
Construction works near the hotel. I paid in Euros and they exchanged my Euros at a rip off price. Almost they sold me the Dinar at 50 Percent more.
Only reception people
Outside my room, there is nothing in the hotel except a Bar. I went there once to have a meal, I stayed for less than one minute, then the bar manager came and he asked me to leave!! I told him I have a room in the same hotel, he said that they allow only people who have a membership! If you believe this is a good way to welcome you as a guest, go ahead and book in that stupid hotel. By the way, I booked for 4 nights, but I left in the second day.
What I like there s a simple bed and a shower.
I didn t like the noise of the baby crying at 6 or 7.

This is seriously funny!! It seems like all healthy meals take all day to make, I love a Costco pizza anytime, ESP picked up by my babe!
Great Idea ~ Use heirloom silver platters and a wine rack to make a towel rack for the bathroom.
Looks cool, but not sure it's worth the $300 price tag. Maybe a good #project for when I get my wood working kit?
not sure why the baby is in this diy wine rack photo, but i like the idea of it! minus the baby and his toes and the glass hazard

Photos from the week of Jan. 27 and Feb. 3
"Skiing is a dance and the mountain always leads."-Anonymous
"You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved."-Ansel Adams
Ski photography has a history as long as skiing itself. The following photos are from the past two weeks at Big Sky Resort. A place where sunny bluebird powder days and snow falling powder days both mean beautiful photos and smiling friends enjoying the mountain dance.

New Year's Resolutions for the Big Sky Skier
The top 10 resolutions Americans make every new year are:
1) Spend more time with friends and family
2) Fitness goals
3) Lose weight
4) Quit smoking
5) Enjoy life
6) Quit drinking
7) Get out of debt
8) Learn something new
9) Help others
10) Get organized
These resolutions are decent and all, but I wanted something more; something specific to my life and specific to my time here in Big Sky. My top 10 resolutions for 2014 pertaining to Big Sky Resort life are:
1) Ski more. Skiers often make resolutions or goals at the beginning of the ski season. However, no matter what time of year it is I also want to ski more. This will be the year.
2) Instagram more. Instagram is my favorite social network. Instagram is tough to beat for simplicity in photo and video sharing with my tight-knit group of friends and my tight-knit Big Sky community.
3) Buy a beacon (and brush up on my beacon skills). Safety first!
4) Ski the Big Couloir. With my new beacon in hand I will be able to head to "Big" (as many call it) and ski it with passion and guts. I cannot wait because I've never skied Big before, and what a perfect winter to do it.
5) Read The Big Sky by A.B. Guthrie, Jr. Guthrie was the first person to use the words "Big Sky" to talk about Montana. He wrote the award-winning screenplay for Shane, and published a number of award-winning novels about the American West. The Big Sky is waiting for me at home as I type this.
6) Après more at Headwaters Grille. Headwaters Grille is a fantastic, cozy spot in the Madison Base area with beautiful large format photos and a lovely little bar. Definitely a new lunch or après spot for me.
7) Buy new Rossignols. I love my K2 Misdemeanors. They're fun and turn well, but I cannot wait to get on some fatter skis (to ski the Big Couloir with). Rossi is the way to go.
8) Rock climb in Gallatin Canyon. I first rock climbed in sixth grade. Summer of 2013 I got back on the rocks and found that it's just as exhilarating as it was in sixth grade. My goal is to climb my way along the Gallatin Canyon this year.
9) Pay it forward (on the slopes and off). Paying it forward sounds like a fancy way to say: Be kind to others. However, the idea of paying it forward is more than that. Each time something good or kind happens to you, in turn, you do something good or kind for three other people.
10) Visit Yellowstone National Park in winter. I have lived in Montana on and off for 19 years and never seen Yellowstone National Park in winter. This fact naturally brings me some shame, but mostly disappointment in myself because Yellowstone is one of the most amazing places on earth and, as a national park, has even more to give in the wondrous beauty of winter.
Whatever resolution seems the most important, coming to Big Sky Resort in 2014 should be at the top of everyone's list. There is no place like Big Sky.

Opening Day: A Time to Give Thanks
Part of me feels unoriginal and predictable in writing about things to be thankful for on Thanksgiving Day. However, I actually do have a lot to be thankful for and why not take at least one day a year to write those things down. I am thankful for:
1) Opening Day! Today is opening day at Big Sky Resort. Get out there and ride with us.
2) Snow. Perhaps snow should be first on the list, as one can't have an opening day at a ski resort without it, but I am so thankful we are open for skiing once again. I have a pen pal in Fortaleza, Brazil, who has never seen snow. It is so hard for me to imagine her life-a life without snow. I see and play in snow every winter, and have a job thanks to snow, yet I am always surprised by it and thankful for it.
Photo: Ryan Day Thompson
3) My family. They are always ready with a good joke after I've had a rough day.
4) My Big Sky Resort family. Not only do I have an amazing job, but I have great teammates and managers. The managers at Big Sky Resort truly care about where I am headed in my job position and in my career. This isn't something that happens everywhere and it is easy to take for granted so I am thankful for this great team at Big Sky Resort.
5) Skiing. Enough said.
6) Big Sky Resort purchasing Moonlight Basin. I can't wait to ski Moonlight Basin all the time this winter. I respect and thank all those involved in the merger who have a vision for Lone Peak and the Big Sky Community.
7) A sense of humor. This can really help an office and a small resort community when stress is high. Something as little as a team member pranking every team member in the office with a plastic cockroach. Of course if we had cockroaches in Montana it might be a different story.
8) The lack of cockroaches in Montana.
9) Montana Wildlife. Even in winter you might see a Big Horn Sheep or a Pine Marten.
10) Pumpkin Pie (with a dollop of Cool Whip).
I have much more to be thankful for, but enough writing, it's time to give thanks out on the mountain.

Barry Morris Goldwater, Jr. (born July 15, 1938), is a former Republican member of the United States House of Representatives from California, 1969–1983. He is the son of Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater, the Republican nominee who ran against Lyndon B. Johnson for President of the United States during the 1964 Presidential election.
Early life[edit]
Goldwater was born on July 15, 1938. He graduated from Staunton Military Academy in Staunton, Virginia in 1957. Goldwater attended the University of Colorado and graduated from Arizona State University in 1962. He then worked as a stockbroker, public relations executive and in import-export business before being elected to Congress.
Political career[edit]
In April 1969, Goldwater ran his first race for Congress representing northern Los Angeles County. He won that race for the 91st Congress and was reelected for six consecutive terms. During his time in Washington Goldwater served on several committees such as the Committee on Public Works and Transportation, the Joint Committee on Energy, and the Committee on Science and Technology.
During his tenure Goldwater drafted legislation that addressed issues that are still topics of debate today. The Privacy Act of 1974, which prevents the distribution of private information from government and businesses, is one of the best known laws of which he drafted.
In 1980, Goldwater campaigned for family friend and Governor of California Ronald Reagan, who won the presidential election against Jimmy Carter. Goldwater would later publicly debate Reagan's son Ron Reagan, who did not support Goldwater's friend and then-California Republican gubernatorial candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger. Schwarzenegger went on to win the 2003 recall election to replace Gray Davis as Governor of California.
With his district merged with that of Bobbi Fiedler due to redistricting, Goldwater ran for the Republican nomination to the United States Senate in 1982. Goldwater lost that race to Pete Wilson due to what Goldwater labeled "partisan mudslinging" which linked his name to a congressional drug use scandal that Goldwater was found not to be involved in. During that time Goldwater did seek help from a treatment center in Wickenburg, Arizona for an admitted drinking problem which he overcame. His term in office expired in January, 1983.
On November 16, 2007, Goldwater publicly endorsed Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul of Texas for the GOP nomination in 2008.[1]
On January 5, 2008, Goldwater announced his decision to go to New Hampshire to campaign for Ron Paul[2] after Paul's 10% showing in the Iowa caucuses, held on January 3, 2008. His efforts helped Paul garner 8% of the vote in New Hampshire. He also spoke in support of Ron Paul at the Kansas GOP caucus.
On September 4, 2008, a list of electors in Louisiana using the label "Louisiana Taxpayers Party" paid $500 and filed papers[3] with the Secretary of State's Office[3] to get on the ballot. They were pledged to Ron Paul for President and to Goldwater for Vice President.[3] Goldwater Jr. received 9,368 votes for Vice-President in Louisiana, coming in third place in the popular vote.[4]
Business career[edit]
After retiring from politics, Goldwater moved to Los Angeles and pursued a career in the financial sector, specializing in security law and underwriting. His clients were major U.S. banks and insurance companies. Goldwater became a member of the New York Stock Exchange and a partner in what is now Wedbush Securities (formerly Noble Cook, Inc.)
Goldwater now lives in Phoenix, Arizona near his son Barry M. Goldwater III.
He has served on the board of the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Program. He is also currently serving on the Board of Directors of the Goldwater Institute. The Goldwater Institute is a nonprofit political think tank which studies and publishes findings on public policies that align with the conservative values promoted by Goldwater's father. Goldwater supported legislation and policies generally embrace economic independence, individual rights, and a restriction of governmental powers.
Goldwater maintains his contact with Republican and Democratic leaders, as well as celebrity activists, while he continues to champion the conservative political movement started by his father. He is a member of the American Numismatic Association and is currently director of the National Collector's Mint.
Awards and honors[edit]
Goldwater has won several awards including the Achievement Award from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences; an award from the President's Commission on Employment of the Handicapped; the Distinguished Service Award of the A.C.A.; and the Conscience of the Congress Award of the American Conservative Union.

I have loved photography since I was a small child with a Kodak 126 Instamatic. I did not pursue it because I did not want to mess with the chemicals required to develop film. In 2007, I took a photo of a sunset with my cell phone and I was hooked again. I bought myself a point-and-shoot digital camera for Christmas that year. I love taking pictures.

Northgate Minerals Sells Auction Rate Securities
VANCOUVER, Feb. 28 /PRNewswire/ - (All figures in US dollars) Northgate Minerals Corporation (TSX: NGX, NYSE Amex: NXG) today reported the sale of its entire portfolio of auction rate securities ("ARS") for total consideration of approximately $40.9 million. Northgate had previously estimated the fair market value of its ARS at approximately $36.6 million. The proceeds from the sale were used to repay, in full, the outstanding balance of the loan, originally made by Lehman Brothers Inc., which was collateralized by the ARS held in the Corporation's investment account managed by Lehman. The loan and associated ARS account were subsequently acquired by Barclays plc in September 2008 as part of its court-approved purchase of the assets of then-bankrupt Lehman Brothers.
"We are very pleased to have sold our ARS investments at a price that has allowed us to repay the loan in full and to further strengthen our balance sheet" commented Ken Stowe, Northgate's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We waited patiently for three and half years for liquidity to be restored to these investments so that we could secure a return that we felt reflected their underlying value. With this uncertainty removed, we will have greater flexibility to execute our strategic objectives as we continue to build towards a stronger future for Northgate."
For complete disclosure on Northgate's ARS holdings, refer to the Corporation's 2009 Annual Report, which can be found on Northgate's website at
Northgate Minerals Corporation is a gold and copper producer with mining operations, development projects and exploration properties in
Canada and
Australia. Our vision is to be the leading intermediate gold producer by identifying, acquiring, developing and operating profitable, long-life mining properties.

Top-Tier Networking Security Giant To Standardize On Silicom's Modules
Silicom Ltd. (NASDAQ:SILC) (TASE:SILC) today announced that one of the world's largest networking security companies, which for the past two years has been using Silicom's 10Gbps modules in one of its appliance product lines, has now standardized on additional Silicom's modules for both the current and an additional appliance product line. The Company expects that sales of these new wins will ramp up its revenues from this customer to approximately $4 million per year.
The customer will now use within two of its appliance product lines a variety of modules which Silicom developed as part of its SETAC program, including both 10Gbps and 1Gbps modules with and without bypass in copper and fiber.
"We are proud that this premier networking security leader views Silicom products as strategic enablers, as evidenced by its design of an increasing range of Silicom solutions into its growing portfolio of advanced security appliances," commented Shaike Orbach, Silicom's President and CEO. "When this customer became one of our first volume users of networking modules, we were confident that they would become volume users of additional Silicom products, and this has now come to fruition. Furthermore, the customer is currently considering working with Silicom on additional products, including intelligent solutions and additional modules. We fully expect that their use of Silicom solutions will continue to increase, representing a reliable and continuously growing driver of our revenues in the years to come."
Mr. Orbach added, "The fact that this customer's usage of products has grown and developed in line with our expectation confirms our 'read' of the market and our understanding of its true needs. This insight, more than any other advantage, continues to be the key to our success, assuring that we apply our considerable technology and agility assets to the most vexing pain points of some of the industry's largest players. We believe that this ability will enable us to continue accelerating our growth in the future."
