Washington, D.C. – February 3, 2012 - People with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) along with family members, coaches and leaders from Special Olympics and Best Buddies International are coming to the nation's capital to fight for equality.
On Wednesday February 8th, delegations from Special Olympics athletes and Best Buddies from more than 40 states, will participate in their annual 'Capitol Hill Day' to urge continued commitment to the work of the late Eunice Kennedy Shriver and to meet with America's elected leaders to make sure that people with intellectual disabilities are top of the mind when critical decisions are made for the country. Shriver dedicated her life to providing opportunities for children and adults with IDD to become fully integrated into society. Shriver, who passed away in August 2009, founded Special Olympics in 1968 and was a longtime advocate and board member of Best Buddies, founded in 1989.
Because people with IDD continue to lack access to essential human services - ranging from employment opportunities to access to healthcare - Special Olympics and Best Buddies supporters will urge members of Congress to support critical government programs that address these needs. They will also advocate passing The Eunice Kennedy Shriver Act, which will continue a national commitment that the U.S. Congress made with passage of the 2004 Special Olympics Sport and Empowerment Act. The Eunice Kennedy Shriver Act incorporates the Best Buddies Empowerment for People with Intellectual Disabilities Act passed by the U.S. House of Representatives in April 2009. This combined legislation continues the legacy of Shriver by authorizing funds for specific programs supporting people with IDD in sports, health, education and employment program initiatives.
Special Olympics and Best Buddies constituents will demonstrate, through their advocacy and the incredible successes and potential for future growth of people with IDD, why Congress should enact legislation to expand these highly effective programs. Special Olympics and Best Buddies provide experiences that truly transcend the playing field, transform the classroom, workplaces and communities.
• Special Olympics Project UNIFY, funded in large part by the U.S. Department of Education, is a program happening in 2100 schools nationwide that brings students with and without IDD together through education, youth leadership and sports related initiatives, creating more inclusive school communities. Students involved report positive experiences that changed the way they interact with their classmates, becoming more patient (76%), learning to compromise (78%), and learning that they have things in common with their peers with IDD (65%). Best Buddies' friendship programs – Best Buddies Middle Schools, High Schools, Colleges, and Citizens - bring youth and adults with and without IDD together through one-to-one matching, creating the foundation for real and natural friendships to develop. These friendships create inclusive environments in schools and communities. Best Buddies participants are more likely than peers to have few disciplinary incidents, read at grade level, and complete high school. Best Buddies participants outperformed a comparison group of students with similar exceptionalities by nine percentage points or more in reading at grade level. Additionally, 96% of volunteers without IDD have a more positive attitude about the abilities of people with IDD due to their participation in Best Buddies.
• Only 33% of people with disabilities (and many fewer with IDD) are employed, compared to 73% employment amongst people without disabilities. Best Buddies Jobs helps individuals with IDD attain and maintain competitive jobs by providing ongoing support and training, enabling them to earn an income, pay taxes, and work in an integrated environment. Since its inception, Best Buddies Jobs has placed more than 500 individuals in integrated employment positions. Also, 52% of working age Special Olympics athletes in the United States are employed.
• People with IDD are also in dire need of quality health care. Special Olympics' Healthy Athletes Program has provided more than 1.2 million free health screenings to athletes with IDD. Each year, more than 165,000 athletes receive free health screenings, including eye glasses, hearing aids, clinical tests/exams, education, preventive supplies, and referrals for follow up care.
Following their time with members of Congress, a special candlelight vigil will be held around the Capitol Reflecting Pool at 5:30 PM EST, as a tribute to Eunice Kennedy Shriver and poignant reminder of everyone's ability to aid in the fight for the civil rights of everyone.
"This is the time that this civil rights movement be recognized," shared Special Olympics Chairman and CEO, Tim Shriver. "The Eunice Kennedy Shriver Act is about real athletes and real change. Over the course of the last decade we have countless examples of how people with intellectual disabilities have been positively impacted by the Federal support we have been given and we hope to continue those benefits and more with new support."
"It is always an honor and privilege to share our mission of inclusion and respect with our leaders in Washington," said Best Buddies International Founder and Chairman, Anthony K. Shriver. "It brings us all such a great sense of joy when we witness firsthand the talents and energy that people with disabilities bring to our schools, our communities, and our workplaces. I know all our elected officials walk away feeling so inspired by the boundless potential of our athletes and ambassadors. How could anyone not want to invest in such a wealth of untapped talent in America."
More than 200 million people worldwide have IDD, making this the largest disability group worldwide. Intellectual and developmental disabilities cross racial, ethnic, educational, social, and economic lines, and can occur in any family.About Special OlympicsSpecial Olympics is an international organization that changes lives through the power of sport by encouraging and empowering people with intellectual disabilities, promoting acceptance for all, and fostering communities of understanding and respect worldwide. Founded in 1968 by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the Special Olympics movement has grown from a few hundred athletes to more than 3.7 million athletes in over 170 countries in all regions of the world, providing year-round sports training, athletic competition and other related programs.

1366 Technologies: Scaling the Venture
Joseph B. Lassiter; Ramana Nanda; David Kiron; Evan Richardson
To maximize their effectiveness, color cases should be printed in color.
For some time, 1366's co-founders, Frank van Mierlo and Ely Sachs, had faced a choice, which was now made all the more stark: 1366 could expand to produce silicon wafers itself, raising the required capital from "friendly" investors and building shipment volume slowly, or 1366 could accelerate its market entry dramatically by partnering with the Asian manufacturers that had begun to dominate the world-wide solar industry. While accelerated growth was attractive to 1366 and its current investors, the company believed that it would face considerable risks if it were to expose its intellectual property to the "wrong" partners. 1366 had no intention of losing control of its technology, but given the pace of innovation and the active role of governments in the solar industry, van Mierlo and Sachs feared this might not be a race that could be won by the cautious.
Learning objective:
Study issues faced in scaling from laboratory- to commercial-scale operations in clean tech.

Up Close Look at Eric Ward's Link Building Desktop
I was reading Matt Cutts post the other day titled My 8.7M Pixel Display, and it hit me.
There is no site devoted to showing the various desktop rigs for those of us who earn our livings in the SE/SEO-SEM/Link Building/Online Publicity field (seorigs.com is available, btw). I've found a couple other people like Matt and Danny Sullivan who've posted pictures and descriptions of their desktop setups, monitor's etc., and having been asked many times over the years how I manage my daily workflow, I decided to explain it in pictures.
How I Work - Full View
This first shot shows the full command center (click it to enlarge). Bookend laptops, an HP on the left and a Dell Mini 9 on the right. Under the desk is a Dell Studio XPS. Four monitors (15 inch on the left lap, then to the right a 24 inch, a 22 inch, and a 9 inch). Note there are no wireless keyboards or mice. They were always more trouble than they were worth, plus having wired mice and keyboards makes it easier to hurl them greater distances when I have one of my moments (tip: If you use the cord like a lasso and the wind is blowing, you can sail a keyboard over 50 yards.
The Mini Me
That tiny laptop in the above picture (larger picture to the right) is a Dell Mini 9, and that's the one thing I take with me when I leave the office. Very handy. Mini Me's sole mission during the day is to run TweetDeck, which is what you see in the smaller photo. When I take it in the house after work, I use it like a Kindle. My first cell phone was about the same size. Seriously, I had that phone. In fact, note to Dell: please make the Mini a phone for us old school types.
ADD Cental
Just above the Mini is a 22 inch monitor, pictured closer at right, and this is what I call "Feed Central" aka ADD Central. It's blurry becasue that's what it looks like to me most of the time. Feed Central is my iGoogle homepage, and it currently has 57 feeds from folks I keep up with. I use this to scan all the news my brain can tolerate during the day, the amount of which varies depending on my Mtn. Dew blood level. On the positive side, this overload approach will help me know before anyone when my brain is turning to mush, because one day I'll look up at that monitor and ask who this Matt Cutts guy is?
Side Note: I use Firefox's find feature for the feed Central page to highlight the word "link" so that any time link appears in any post's title, I see a visual cue. That way I can scan and spot any post from any of the 57 sources that might be more pertinent to my work.
You can't see it very well, but the first three feeds across the top are Matt's, SEL, and WebProNews. I set all 57 sources to show the maximum 9 posts, so that's 513 posts live on that monitor at any given moment. Thank goodness for OCD, ADD, and Red Bull, or someday I'll be giving interviews like this nice chap to the right, mumbling "linking quid pro quo is spam, Clarice..."
The Main Workhorses
The HP Laptop and the 24 inch Dell monitor on the left are where the real link building takes place. I run Firefox, IE, Thunderbird, assorted tabs and tools, plus a remote session to my link analysis script box located at...Ha! Like I'd give that secret out. If I'm in a phone consult, I'll have skype, a web cam, glance screen sharing, and often trillian running at the same time. I usually have about ten windows open via tabs when I'm in heavy duty link dev mode. My Firefox is tricked out with about 25 add-ons. If you look closer, you can see that I keep a sidebar open on the left, and my tab bar open on the right. I do a lot of dragging and dropping, and even though there are countless link building tools, apps, and thingamabobs, it's often the simplest approach that works best. It's sad that I would call what I just described in this post simple, isn't it?
Multitasking Without Distraction
It's worth noting that when I go deep into link building mode for a client, I go invisible to outside communiques except as they relate to that specific project. I also turn off the Feed Central monitor and TweetDeck. Too distracting. There are some days where all I do all day long is I.D. targets and send email or make phone calls. Pure link seeking. I try not to do this too many days in a row, because it can get tedious, but...it's been proven to me through the years that you can't work at link building for just an hour or two a day. It takes long stretches of intense focus. I devote at least 4 consecutive hours or more of each day to client link building work. Back in the day, when I was starting out and the web was exploding, my wife and I worked side by side, often for 12 hours straight. This was before we had kids and mortgages.
The rest of my day is spent publishing URLwire, doing outreach and rep mgt., research and running link analysis scripts. Over the weekend I usually have 5-10 link audit scripts running, so on Monday there's always a pile of linking data for me to distill into reports.
That about covers it.
Part of the reason I've posted this is that many folks in the industry refer to me as "old school", and while I take it as a compliment, others regard that term with disdain, thinking my approach to link building is something like this. Hardly. As you can see above, my control center is not for the faint of heart or for those who can't multitask with abandon. Total the info points across my desktop, be they tweets or IMs, add in six email inboxes, and I figure I'm handling and scanning through roughly 3,000 items every day.
If that's old school, so be it.
What has remained old school is my ethos and outreach communication style and technique. And guess what? They work even better today than they did then.
Desktop Rig Links
If you have a page where you've shown and/or described your desktop setup, send me your link, and I'll post it here, hopefully creating an ever growing log of how we all actually do our thing all day.

text: Ever since I've started surfing I've wanted to do it at night. Any place in South Jersey where it can be done because of the lighting? I was thinking maybe Atlantic City because the boardwalks so bright in some places like near The Pier. I've also seen places in surf movies where they have floodlights on for surfing competitions at night.. any places like that around here?

Comments about OVER THE WALL COLLECTION™ Kyle Busch Women's Dragonfly Spectrum Hoodie:
I really like the colors and wish another color choice was offered so I could buy another one. The length of this pull-over is great and the lining in the hood is a satin/shiny feel - very original. The pockets are separate (not one big one) so nothing will fall out. This pull-over hoodie is perfect with camisoles and tank tops.

After a wild road trip, the Nats are back in town for a long homestand.
Let's see, the last time the Nationals played at home, they had just capped a sweep of the Mariners, surged above the .500 mark, leaving the crowd ecstatic … only to find out minutes later Jim Riggleman had resigned as manager. Yeah, things have changed a bit since then.
Davey Johnson makes his home managerial debut tonight. More significantly, the Nats will attempt to win for the first time under their new manager. They'll face another surging team in the Pirates, who are two games over .500 and send a tough right-hander to the mound tonight in Charlie Morton (though he posted a 12.27 ERA over his last three starts and had his most-recent turn in the rotation skipped due to a "tired arm").
Tom Gorzelanny, a former Pirate, starts for the Nationals. The lefty was very good last time out, holding the White Sox to one run over seven innings, albeit in a losing effort.
Check back for updates…

Charlie Morton (though he posted a 12.27 ERA over his last three starts and had his most-recent turn in the rotation skipped due to a "tired arm").Which means he'll pitch a 4 hitter.

Ladson (washingnats): I have been informed that Dan Raddison has been dismissed as first-base coach of the #Nats. Trent Jewett will replace Raddison. #MLBNow, Jim and Dan can play golf and go fishing together.
- Manassas Nats Fan - Jul 1, 2011 at 8:52 PM
I Feel a 3 of 4 series win for us. Starting tonight. I am feeling the Nats collecting more hits tonight than they have been doing most of the time recently. 2 hours before game time and no lineup. This is what Davey was accused of in his last stop as the Dodger shipper.
- natsfan1a - Jul 1, 2011 at 9:08 PM
He was accused of not getting the lineups out in time for posting to blogs? I didn't even know they had blogs back then. :-)Ladson evidently needs a proofreader because it's "Radison."

Time for some insights into first and third base coaches. I know they help guys steal and tell 'em when to come ho e or to third. I know Bo has been helping us (and by "us" I mean the players) run more aggressively. Howndomwe know if we have a good one? I love everythung about Bo. I liked Radison because in between innings he always made sure a kid got any ball he held.Thanks in advance, guys.

No announcement of bring Ray Knight on board, He was the Reds' hitting coach under Davey Johnson, and I have been calling for him for over a season now.

No announcement of bring Ray Knight on board, He was the Reds' hitting coach under Davey Johnson, and I have been calling for him for over a season now.More than likely one would expect Ray Knight will soon be replaced ala' Dan Radison. You haven't been doing your homework Manassas Nats Fan. You get an "F" for this quarter:From Boz's 1996 expose on the then new Orioles manager Davey Johnson:Johnson's general manager, Jim Bowden, was 18 years his junior, but every bit as opinionated. The pair of supposed know-it-alls got along fine, even on a limited budget. "I had no problem with Bowden," says Johnson. "He will tell you exactly what he's thinking on every little issue. You knew exactly where you stood. That made it easy."Ultimately, Johnson even proved he could take an unjust firing with grace.In 1994, the Reds finished first in the strike-shortened season. To some, it was a meaningless year. To Johnson, managing a team back to first place, even by half a game, was "my greatest vindication." Better than coming back from his beaning. Better than proving the Orioles shouldn't have traded him.Yet, even while Johnson was concentrating on winning games, one of his coaches, Ray Knight, was gaining popularity with Schott. Long before the 1995 season, the Reds announced that Knight would be their manager for the 1996 season! Only in Schottsville. Johnson spent last year grooming the man whom some believe tunneled under him."I've never been afraid to hire a coach who might end up getting my job," Johnson says.Others have a less generous view of Knight, who's never managed anywhere. This spring, Atlanta Manager Bobby Cox was asked about Johnson's handling of the Reds last year. Cox blew a fuse. "Ask Ray Knight. He's got all the bleepin' answers . . . South Georgia boy, too, I hate to say. He's ripped Davey like hell. That's ridiculous," said Cox. "Every time Knight opens his mouth, he says, We're gonna do this' or, We're gonna {change} that. We're not going to be card players. We're going to be ready to play.'Goodbye Ray it was nice havin' ya.

Just a question to other STH's on this blog. Did anyone get the Crystal Bat that we were promised?
- Anonymous - Jul 1, 2011 at 9:45 PM
No "crystal bats" but here is the completely expected lineup courtesy of Adam Kilgore: #Nats lineup: Bernadina, Werth, Zim, Nix, Morse, Espinosa, Ramos, Desmond, Gorzelanny.

I have an issue with the word 'fired' right now. I mean mainly the association with this organization. McLaren was respectfully let go. What possibly happened with Dan now? Even if he was Riggs' close friend, why did he not go out McLaren's way?Anyways, we are back to pitcher hitting 9th. Whatever right now, I want this team to get out of the hitting slump and win some ballgames.
- Anonymous - Jul 1, 2011 at 10:04 PM
I have an issue with the word 'fired' right now.Reading between the lines FS "Radog" was Riggs enforcer. Not really competent enough to manage a ball club. Not the case with every other coach including McLaren. The ball players were surprised when Riggleman quit. They were deeply saddened when McLaren followed suit. Kind of tells you something about Riggleman's priorities.

5:45, MZ has lineup there, if you refresh.True that, Unk. It was more of a facetious comment on my part, as I doubt such staffers would be proofreading tweets, anyway.sec3, good one re. the newsreels.

He has consistently ranked at the top of the Eastern League in nearly every category this season. Correcting Mark Zuckerman's colleague Chase Hugh's. Brad Peacock has consistently ranked at the top in nearly every category throughout AA across every AA league. Not just the Eastern League.

Will the Pirates hit Espinosa tonight after he stood and watched that home run the last time we played them? The game the next day was rained out, hence tomorrow's double header.
- FS - Jul 1, 2011 at 10:17 PM
Didn't Pedro used to stare at guys after striking them out? I am just saying that pitchers tend to show off too. So why do hitters have to get HBP their next at bat?
- MicheleS - Jul 1, 2011 at 10:19 PM
I am at the game! Lets get a win
- Not Werth It - Jul 1, 2011 at 11:04 PM
I totally love everything Davey Johnson has said so far. Finally, no more late game pinch hit at bats from guys who have long storied careers of playing defense and not hitting. Go Nats! Big Homestand!

5 errors two games ago – two errors already and we are down 1-0. Bob Carpenter driving me crazy and did FP really say Gorzo made a good play as he threw the ball away on the first error. Over to Dave and Charlie as soon as I finish typing this. I still feel really really unsure about this team.Go nats!!
- dj in Fl. - Jul 2, 2011 at 12:03 AM
Guess we might as well as go and get Davey some offense, the defense seems to have left with Riggs, and we will not win this way.

This will be perfect symmetry with the Nationals starting an eight game winning streak on the road in S.D with three wins. The losing streak started on the road with three loses in Anaheim and will end with eight, and the Nationals exactly 9 games below .500, just where they were when they started the win streak.
- Jim Webster - Jul 2, 2011 at 12:27 AM
I've been mostly a Bob Carpenter fan (maybe it just dates from the time MASN-Comcast fight got straightened out and we got TV coverage for the first time in 05 or 06) but if I hear him say "serious jammage" one more time I swear I will untie my shoe and consider throwing it at the tube.

As a Pirates fan I can tell you that this isn't a quick hook for Hurdle. This is his normal hook. You'll never see so many 1 run in 5 2/3 inning lines as you will with the Pirates thi9s year.

I wonder if some of the comments that johnson made about some players underachieving offensively was a warning to Eckstein. I dont think he's a bad hitting coach but I'm not sure he's the right guy for this group of players. Anybody else thinks that?

I dont think he's a bad hitting coach but I'm not sure he's the right guy for this group of players. Anybody else thinks that?They were definitely aimed at the players. Johnson says "Stairs gets his first RBI, we're really celebrating that." The says, "Hondo use to say, I want a guy with a big hairy chest [who scares the bejeebers out of the opposing manager] on the bench next me." Matt Stairs the handwriting is on the wall dude.Come to think of it Johnson does quote Hondo a lot? Hmmmmmmm …. wonder if Hendo's wish is about to be granted?
- baseballswami - Jul 2, 2011 at 1:16 AM
At this point it's going to be a stretch to get to 4 hits. No energy at all – little bit of tension in the clubhouse lately with coaches getting the ax and the manager talking changes?

Looking at those photos of Werth hanging out with Zim last night, I can't help but think of when Roy Hobbs dating Kim Basinger's character in The Natural and the disastrous hitting slump that followed. Werth is our bad luck "charm."

Double header tomorrow – Charlie and Dave the only option for the first game. Start praying to the baseball gods now for some holiday fireworks. Did anyone tell RZ that it's a holiday weekend? We need some offense!!!
- sjm308 - Jul 2, 2011 at 2:26 AM
Wow, so much strategy in the last inning!! Doubt if we will get the "ha,ha" neganon for the rest of the night but what a great win. Have to believe that actually playing Stairs in California might have helped him tonight. Also love that he kept Bernadina in the game when he made his double switch. We are back to .500, I can breath again and would just love to see a split tomorrow. We have not given up an earned run in over 18 innings. Also liked him bringing in Storen in the 9th and having Burnett warming for the 10th. He is making these guys accountable and I am pretty sure they will respond.Storen just threw 7 piches tonight so he will be available along with the rest of the pen tomorrow. By the way anon 9:47, please go back to your skins and please don't compare baseball to football or this team to that bunch – if you need a reference just listen to George Carlin may he rest in peace. and a hardy "ha, ha"to you (loser)Go Nats!!

- gonatsgo - Jul 2, 2011 at 2:36 AM
What do you all think about the coaching changes? Do you think Radison will be the last to go? I really like Bo Porter and I hope he is not going to get fired, too. McCatty seems safe because the pitching is good, Eckstein seems to survive no matter how bad the offense is. It would probably be better for the players if things settled down now.
- masnstinks - Jul 2, 2011 at 2:38 AM
Mark – in regards to gonatsgo post – interesting question. Do you have any info on that? Any further changes coming in the coaching staff?

Great win and loved that it was Stairs with the walkoff. The guys about tore off his jersey during the dogpile after. No snarky comments here, just congrats and appreciation. Matt seemed a little verklempt in the postgame interview. I love the redemptive aspects of the game.I had P-Nats tix before the doubleheader was scheduled so I won't make it, but I would expect that it would be a good crowd.
- Manassas Nats Fan - Jul 2, 2011 at 2:53 AM
Stairs actually looked more like 2001 Stairs there. Too bad that one has been missing this year, but looked confident tonight. Now can we get Werth un track.Will be in section 309 Row C watching tomorrow's festivities.

Minor league report:Below the AAA level, there's a strange good-news, bad-news pattern as the starting pitchers make great strides, but some key hitters regress.Bryce Harper's average has dropped to .312 — though he did steal three bases in tonight's game. At Potomac, speedster Eury Perez has slumped so badly that he's hitting .273 and he's been dropped to the bottom of the order.At AA, Derek Norris had a sparkling .371 on base percentage heading into tonight, but his batting average has dropped to an alarming .201.Meantime, other than Sammy "So-So So Far" Solis, a lot of starting pitchers are shining at the lower levels. At AA, Shairon Martis has dropped his ERA to 2.82. At Hagerstown, Robbie Ray has lowered his ERA to 1.95.On the leadoff hitter front, Lombo is still smoking at Syracuse. After 51 at bats in AAA he's hitting .431. But for those of us wondering if he could be the answer, there's a big catch. He hasn't drawn a single walk.
- Sec3MySofa - Jul 2, 2011 at 3:13 AM
I've suspected this before, but watching the replays–he really DID get all of that one. And it hit halfway up the wall. Even last year, that would have been ten rows deep. Please, Matt, don't do a Lefty.
- Grandstander - Jul 2, 2011 at 3:22 AM
Come on guys, we all knew when Stairs came to the plate that he would hit a walk-off single of the right field wall. I mean you could just feel the crowd anticipating it.No, but seriously, well done, sir. I guess all those ABs in LA helped him get his timing or something because he's been looking sharp the last few days. But Werth, jeez man, the league has you figured out something awful. Take first pitch strike, swing second pitch ball, take third pitch strike. Seems like every AB from him.Nice to get Davey his first win at home, now we're over that hump, back to .500, and have a bunch of home games coming up which is where we seem to have feasted all season long. True doubleheader, Saturday, July 4th weekend, $2 tickets? Yes, please!!! Can't wait to wake up!
- MicheleS - Jul 2, 2011 at 4:13 AM
I just got home from the game.. God I hate Metro! Never again. Driving in on 7/4.Happy Stairs got the walk off.. nice to see Davey win his first 1.I think Morse and Espi are the team leaders. Which is good because they are the best players. I think Werth is hurt. Something is not right there.
- John C. - Jul 2, 2011 at 4:36 AM
MicheleS, just walk up to Capitol South. On a night like this it's a lovely walk, and you get on the Metro before the crowds that get through the Metro entrance and sort themselves out. It makes taking Metro home much easier.
- sjm308 - Jul 2, 2011 at 11:40 AM
MicheleS – depends on which line you need to get home but my key is dropping by Jusin's Cafe for a nice craft beer, let the crowd die, and then metro is a breeze (as long as the dreaded track work is not going on). If you do walk to Capitol South there are also two bars right across the street (see the theme developing here) as well and Cactus Cantina is usually hopping. The final option which involves a little longer walk but rewards you with wonderful dining options as well(my favorite is the milk shake at Teds Bulletin with a shot of Jamesons added) is to 8th st. and then the Eastern Market Metro Stop. These stops are much more pleasant after a win.

PABLO, MONTANA 59855 ISSN: 0528-8592 OF THE FLATHEAD INDIAN RESERVATION , WESTERN MONTANA VOLUME 11 NUMBER 5 FULL MOON OF THE SERVICEBERRY JULY 15, 1982 Arlee pow wow attracts thousands As expected, the Fourth of July weekend dawned gray and gloomy, but that didn't stop any of the holiday festivities in Arlee. Local residents and visitors alike enjoyed the 1982 Arlee pow wow and rodeo, plus softball and bowling tournaments. Close to 300 dancers from 74 tribes competed for $5,000 in prize money at the pow wow, to the delight of maybe 9,000 spectators each day. Roughly 20% of the prize money went to Reservation dancers. Highlight of the celebration's third day was the selection of Arlee's Pamela Mandan as the 1982-83 Miss Flathead Nation. Marsha Skipton was chosen 1st runner-up, while Lisa McDonald was named 2nd runner-up. The Junior Miss Flathead competition wasn't held this year. Don't forget.. . Meeting, pow wow on tap for this weekend A multi-district meeting will be held in Pablo on Saturday, July 17, beginning at 430. Supper will be provided For a small fee, dessert will be provided by the Foxy Seniors Convention Trip organizers. Before and after the meeting, the community of Elmo will be hosting its annual pow wow. Various sporting events will be complementing the dancing and drumming contests. The pow wow starts on July 15 and runs until July 18. The pow wow's final hours saw Bernard St. Goddard of Browning, MT win the $500 first prize at the raffle drawing July 4. Other winners were Bud Barnaby with $300, M.J. Alexander from Canada with $200, Milward Tallbull - Kapote from Idaho, Brad Brazil of Arlee with a drum stick bag, and Glenda DeClayby of Arizona with $25. Dance winners names and photos begin on page 12, including the winners of the "Wanabee" contest. (Master of Cermonies Bearhead Swaney held his contest for all those folks without outfits who "wanabee" Indian and dance. The twenty or so contestants were good-natured about the whole thing, especially the four who won money for doing the best job of learning fast.)

This week, Patrick Dempsey has been generating a considerable buzz for himself and his endeavors into the world of ALMS racing.
Ducati Deny Hayden's Request for Carbon Fiber
Posted by Colin Young at 4:24 pm
Ducati have rejected a dramatic request from American rider Nicky Hayden to bring the carbon fiber framed Desmosedici out of mothballs.

Posted by Formula1blog.com at 12:34 pm
The conversation regarding the Australian Grand Prix has been ongoing for quite a while now. This debate has circled around the government's investment or subsidization of the race, the local economy's return on that investment and the value to the Australian population as a whole.
There is nothing inexpensive about Formula One. From the cars, the team operating expenses, the promoter sanctioning fees and even the tickets to the race. A weekend pass for the United States Grand Prix is $300 and when coupled with hotel and travel expenses, the average fan needs to factor that into their yearly budget very carefully given the current economy.

Posted by Autoweek.com at 11:59 am
Here's another one that'll probably go straight into the "not bound for United States shores" file: the Ford S-Max concept, which will make its grand debut at the 2013 Frankfurt motor show. Ford says the S-Max previews a "future sport activity vehicle," which may, in fact, be contemporary PR-speak for "mini-minivan."

Chicago. Video shoot load in.
08 May 2005
Chicago. Video shoot load in.
The Chicago Bulls having conveniently thrown away certain victory at the eleventh hour of their last game meant that the arena was free today for us to load in all the additional gear for The Big Video Shoot. Hamish Hamilton is directing, veteran of the Elevation tour shoots in Boston and Dublin. He knows the band well and has spent the past few weeks observing what we are up to and figuring out the best way to shoot the show. We have the luxury that we are just recording both nights. On Zoo, Pop and Elevation we were simultaneously doing a live broadcast to the solar system which adds yet another layer of pressure and frankly means you have to play it a little safer than you might otherwise choose to.
We began the day with a meeting at the hotel with Hamish, his assistant director Hayley, plus Bruce and Smasher (the tour lighting and video directors respectively), Allen Branton the TV lighting consultant and Kevin & Felix, his two board operators who be running the extra equipment. We talked through the setlist and figured out a plan for how we would shoot each song, where the cameras would be, which would be the main shots, how wed light the guys, what the arena would look like and so on. This was incredibly helpful and sounds like the kind of meeting which would precede every shoot of this kind, but due to the particularly loony nature of Big Video Shoots at Big Rock Shows, I dont ever recall having had a meeting like it before. We were all slightly stunned at how productive and sensible it was.
From there to the venue and in came the cameras, tracks, dollys, boom cranes, trusses of audience lighting, control gear, recording truck, blah, blah, and a whole crew of people to take care of it all. Busy day. There was a lot of hurry up and hang around going on, so during the down time I sat out at the mix position finishing my tribute to Soviet Propaganda. Its very funny, but looks wonderful up on the pixel panels. When I shot the video footage of all the band members yesterday, Id used Bruce as a stand-in to set up the shots. Finding myself slightly at a loose end, I made a second version of the gang of four band image with Bruce right in the middle. Oh how we laughed.
By a happy coincidence, the United Center (a basketball arena) happens to have a continuous band of LED screens that circle the court. In fact there are two bands, one on the front face of each balcony, which form narrow rings of video surface used as advertising space. Id seen this in another arena (Denver?) and thought how extraordinary this would look if we could plug it into our system and use it to run our video sequences. It was too much to hope that Chicago would have something similar, but it does, so we set about colonizing it in the name of art. This proved to be far more easily said than done, as the control system for the screens is ancient, without even a USB port to plug into. In fact the entire thing seems to be run from a gas cooker in the basement kitchens, but Smasher is not a man easily discouraged. Much rested on the shoulders of Jeff, the house guy in charge of said LED surfaces. The process of getting image up there was pain itself. Smasher had to remake all the elements from scratch in a format that the gas cooker could understand, hand them over to Jeff on appropriate bakeware then poor Jeff had to sit for hours loading it in, one morsel at a time till the timer went ping. It was not looking promising.
We programmed late into the night, but felt good about being more prepared than any live music shoot since Elvis at Caesars. More tomorrow.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Posted: 11/3/2013 2:53 PM | Comments: 0
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers players emptied their lockers at Investors Group Field Sunday morning, many of them for the final time.
With the club now done for the season after a 37-7 loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at IGF on Saturday, players loaded their gear into garbage bags Sunday and began to head out for the four corners of the continent.
With widespread and systemic exchange expected this winter for a Bombers team that tied a franchise record for futility with a 3-15 record in 2013, the finality of a season prematurely ended was mixed with anxiety and uncertainty about the future as players said their goodbyes.
"Change is inevitable," said offensive tackle Glenn January. "Something's going to have to happen with us to right the ship and it still remains to be seen what the solution is."
January, who has morphed into one of the undisputed leaders in the Bombers locker-room, said the mood on Sunday was "a mixed bag. You have some guys who are just happy to be out of here. And you have some guys that are still a bit despondent and upset with the outcome of the season.
"However you want to read into that, I think that could be the story of the season in itself."
One of the areas of the Bombers many think needs to be improved next season is the team's offensive line, which gave up far too many sacks this season and had difficulty developing a sustained running game.
But January thinks his unit has been unfairly tarnished.
"If you look statistically across the league, I think there's a lot of offensive lines get a free pass. If you look at our numbers compared to even our most recent opponent Hamilton, the number of sacks and hits they give up with a veteran quarterback who has a quick release is even more than we have. So I don't know how they're juggernauts and we're terrible. You have to actually boil it down and look at what the numbers say.
"Obviously we're not happy with how our season went and we can be better. But this whole sense we're the worst in the league is complete nonsense."
Hamilton gave up a league-worst 65 sacks this season, while Winnipeg gave up 50, which was sixth in the league.

Veteran guard Steve Morley is one of Winnipeg's 22 potential free agents this winter.
Morley missed the only starts of an otherwise uninterrupted five-year career with the Bombers in 2013 due to a knee injury and there was a feeling among the coaching staff even before the injury that the former NFLer's play had begun to tail off.
So, will he be back in 2014?
"That'd be nice. I love it here and love the city," said Morley. "But we'll see what happens. There's going to be a lot of changes."
x x x
Bombers starting QB Max Hall didn't have his best game against Hamilton, but he generally showed improvement during the final six weeks of the season and, if nothing else, proved himself the toughest and most durable quarterback the Bombers have had in recent memory.
Hall once again took some hellacious hits against the Ticats and was asked Sunday if the toughness he showed in the late-goings of this season, combined with the steady improvement, warranted a return invite to training camp next year.
"I try to stay in there, man. I feel like I'm pretty resilient and can play through pain," said Hall. "I think I grew as a quarterback in this league and showed that I can lead this team... I think I'm very capable of being a starter if that's the route they decide to go. But that's not my decision. If they decide to try bring someone else in, hopefully I'm still here and it's a guy I can learn from and just keep getting better."

Foreign trade, housing and jobs
Thursday - 11/15/2012, 5:53pm EST
This week on BGOV's Capital Impact show hosted by Allen Scott:
- Now that the Presidential election is behind us, it's time to get back to work. With new members of congress coming to town in January how will that impact the President's traditional "Diplomatic" approach to trade? We'll also compare the President's past performance on trade to what BGOV see in the future. BGOV economic analyst Ken Monahan and Trade Policy Analyst Caitlin Webber will explain.
- When referencing the economy, talk typically turns to housing and jobs. The most recent jobs report released shortly after the election showed an increase in employment. A true increase could point to a turn in the economy benefiting the housing industry, or would it? Senior Economic Analyst Dr. Nela Richardson is on the program to help us truly understand the truth behind the numbers.
| Allen Scott (moderator) specializes in customer on boarding and training at Bloomberg Government. Allen previously worked at Arbitron, Inc. where he served in a variety of roles from customer service to sales operations manager. Prior to Arbitron, Allen worked in radio for several years in the Washington and Baltimore areas. Most recently he spent six years at 99.1 HFS as co-host and news director. |
| Ken Monahan is an economic analyst. Before joining Bloomberg, he was an international economist and acting team lead in the Office of Trade Policy Analysis at the Commerce Department's International Trade Administration. He holds a B.A. in economics from the University of New Hampshire, a masters in central and eastern European studies from Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland, and a masters in international relations from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. |
| Caitlin Webber is a trade policy analyst at Bloomberg Government. She had worked in congressional affairs and she covered foreign policy as a reporter for Congressional Quarterly. Webber holds a B.A. in government and Spanish from Sweet Briar College and an M.S. in comparative politics from the London School of Economics. |
| Nela Richardson is an economic analyst with Bloomberg Government. She was a research economist at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission before joining Bloomberg. Richardson was also a senior economist at Freddie Mac, a researcher at Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies, and an adjunct professor of finance at Johns Hopkins. Richardson has a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Maryland, a M.A. from the University of Pennsylvania, and a B.A. from Indiana University. |

Folk Film Gathering 2015; 1st – 7th May; Edinburgh Filmhouse previewed by Jamie Chambers
Poetry has long had a special place in Scottish culture. Anywhere that can hold Tom Leonard, Kathleen Jamie and Ivor Cutler in one hand and Don Paterson, Jenni Fagan and Roddy Lumsden in the other, can't doing bad.
Gratifyingly, it's now commonplace to talk about how the arts enlivened the independence debate. In his book Disunited Kingdom the journalist Iain Macwhirter describes the huge success of the artists' group, National Collective, as 'a new form of political organisation primarily about mobilising peoples' imaginations.' They gave Yes a colour and creativity which Better Together sorely lacked. Even the writers who came out for No – such as J.K. Rowling, Carol Craig and Ewan Morrison – resorted to gloomy, Unionist-endorsed economics and predictions of catastrophe, expressing bafflement, even anger, about the Yes side's passion and belief.
The world of film has come a long way in little more than a century. At the start, viewers were amazed to see scratchy depictions of moving monochrome figures, then talkies led a move towards more realism, and now we watch films in which Computer Generated Imagery makes anything appear possible – on screens from multiplex to phone sized.
A study of more than 400,000 Britons has found wide personality difference between regions - with Scots proving the friendliest, Welsh the shyest and Londoners the least welcoming.
AN active lifestyle magazine in the US has selected Scotland in its annual Best of Travel awards as the best place to eat and drink in the world.
Artist Lorna Miller was asked to submit four pages for an anthology of comic art about the Great War which will be published in France by L'Association in 2016. Her pages are going to be exhibited in two schools in France who are using the theme of the first world war to create their own comics and to learn about the visual arts, history, geography and English. Lorna will be visiting the schools to work with the children for a few days in April 2015.
I enjoy Willie McIlvanney's books, but, even more, I love listening to him speak. He has a slow, almost hesitant style which suggests thoughtfulness and reflection. Often, it prepares the way for a happy explosion of language which manages to sound grand but accessible at the same time. He gives conversation a good name.
When Sonny Liston's dead body was discovered in a Las Vegas bedroom it was already decomposing. His death has never been satisfactorily explained, was he a victim of a random attack, the wrong end of a mob hit or self-imposed drugs overdose. The mystery and Liston's dark reputation has calcified with time. It is impossible to pick up a book on the history of boxing without Liston dominating the list of fearsome and lawless champions.
A FORMER factory is believed to be the front-runner in the race to become Scotland's national film studio.
While the Scottish media goes into a froth and a frenzy of Old Firm (sic) coverage before the League Cup semi-final – coverage which, apart from the rest of license-fee payers I'd imagine the fans of Aberdeen and Dundee United should be pretty pissed off about – down south a different media story emerged. The 'BBC' has paid £204m on our behalf to renew the rights for three more years of Match of the Day.
