Thursday, July 19, 2012
Karnalyte Resources Inc. Announces Positive Pre-Feasibility Study for the Production of Magnesium Compounds07:00 EDT Thursday, July 19, 2012CALGARY, July 19, 2012 /CNW/ - Karnalyte Resources Inc. ("Karnalyte" or the "Corporation") (TSX: KRN) today announced that it has received a positive Preliminary Feasibility Study ("PFS") for magnesium co-products, portions of which are included in a new National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") compliant technical report (the "Technical Report") defining reserves and resources of its Wynyard Carnallite Project (the "Project") . The PFS was prepared by Lyntek Incorporated ("Lyntek") and provides for a facility ("Magnesium Product Facility") with an annual capacity of 100,000 tonnes per year ("tpy") of Magnesium Chloride ("MgCl2") brine at 32% MgCl2 concentration and 104,000 tpy of Hydromagnesite, a form of Basic Magnesium Carbonate ("BMC"), at 99% purity. The construction of the Magnesium Product Facility is contingent upon the development of the 625,000 tpy Potash facility."Karnalyte has developed an innovative process for producing 99% pure basic magnesium carbonate with characteristics that are superior to those of BMC currently available on the market," said Robin Phinney, President and CEO of Karnalyte Resources Inc. "This study further validates the value of our Wynyard Carnallite Project and confirms the viability of a diversified product stream that will help maximize future revenues."Highlights of the PFS include:Estimated after-tax Net Present Value ("NPV") of $261.5 million for the Magnesium Product Facility, using a 11% discount rate;Return on Investment, after tax, of 295%;Estimated after-tax Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") of approximately 34.6%;Development capital expenditure ("CAPEX") for the plant is estimated at $156 million with annual operating expenses ("OPEX") of $6.32 per tonne of MgCl2 brine at 32% MgCl2 concentration and $319.00 per tonne of Hydromagnesite; andAn estimated 7.6 million tonnes of MgCl2 produced from the reserves with the planned magnesium facility.Magnesium compounds, made from the magnesium chloride, are used in a wide range of applications, including raw materials for steel and cement industry refractories, fire extinguishing chemicals, additives and fillers for rubber and other polymers; and in the chemical, petrochemical, detergent, and pulp and paper industries. Karnalyte has been actively investigating new and emerging markets for its proposed magnesium products to increase value and market stability of the end products. Market development into the use of Hydromagnesite instead of precipitated calcium carbonate in the pulp and paper industry and TiO2 extenders in the paint pigment industry has produced positive results. Further market development is underway.The economic analysis for the proposed facility was based on the following assumptions:A 100% equity case;A 60 year planned production life;Estimated construction costs of $155.9 million including a total Contingency of $28.2 million calculated at 25% Direct & Indirect Costs and 10% Owner Costs;A closure provision at the end of the planned mine life of 10% of development CAPEX;Estimated transportation costs of $65.00 per tonne precipitated calcium carbonate replacement;Price point of $30 CAD per ton of 32% MgCl2 brine; andTwo price points of $600 per tonne for use as pre-precipitated calcium carbonate replacement and $1,800 per tonne as an extender in the titanium dioxide ("TiO2") market. A 50/50 split between these two price points has been used.Summary of Economic AnalysisBased on the foregoing assumptions, the magnesium co-product portion of the Project yields an estimated full equity base case after-tax IRR of approximately 34.6% and an after-tax NPV estimate of $261.5 million at a discount rate of 11%. The following table evaluates sensitivities based on a reduction in product prices, increase in OPEX, increase in CAPEX and a decrease in planned production. The most significant factor that could impact the economic viability of the magnesium co-product part of the Project would be a decrease in sales volume.Sensitivity TableAfter Tax Financial IndicatorsNPV(in Million CAD)IRR(in %)Base Discount Cash Flow Model (DCFM)261.534.610% Decrease in Product Prices212.030.715% Increase in OPEX241.333.010% Increase in CAPEX252.432.120% Decrease in Sales Volume (planned production)190.628.9The following tables provide an estimate for CAPEX and OPEX costs. The production level for the 100,000 tpy MgCl2 brine and 104,000 tpy BMC was estimated with an accuracy of ± 25% and contains a contingency of 25% on Direct & Indirect costs and 10% on Owner costs. A 10 % contingency for brine and a 15% contingency for Hydromagnesite OPEX is also included.Estimated Development CAPEXCategoryItemTotal CapitalDirect Costs Mechanical Equipment General Plant Equipment$6,058,000 Magnesium Chloride Production$164,000 Pre-treatment$18,948,000 Magnesium Carbonate Production$6,299,000 Ancillaries and Miscellaneous$1,322,000 Subtotal Equipment$32,791,000 Equipment Installation$26,115,000 Plant Building (Metal Building, Includes Concrete and Steel)$5,281,000 Structural Concrete$3,926,000 Structural and Plate Steel and Walkways$1,400,000 Plant Electrical (Bulk Materials &Labour) (% Equipment Cost)$3,462,000 Instrumentation (Bulk Materials &Labour) (% Equipment Cost)$2,046,000 Plant Piping (Bulk Materials &Labour) (% Equipment Cost)$3,147,000 Vehicles and Mobile Equipment$450,000 Subtotal Direct Costs$79,618,000Indirect Costs Engineering (% Total Direct Cost)$7,962,000 Construction Management (% Total Direct Cost)$3,981,000 Process Control System Programming$600,000 Freight (% Equipment Cost)$3,935,000 Reagent First Fill$360,000 Construction Equipment Rental (% Installation)$1,306,000 Contractor Small Tools and Consumables (% Installation)$1,306,000 Start-up and First Year Spare Parts$1,640,000 Mobilization and De-Mobilization (% Installation Cost)$653,000 Start-up and Commissioning$1,001,000 Project Insurances (% Total Direct Costs)$598,000 Subtotal Indirect Costs$23,342,000Owner Costs$24,800,000Contingency (25% Direct & Indirect Costs, 10% Owner Costs) $28,220,000Total Base Estimate of Process Capital Cost$155,980,000Estimated Annual OPEX MgCl2 Brine Hydromagnesite Annual (1000 $CAD) $CAD/Tonne Annual (1000 $CAD) $CAD/TonneElectric Power 1.9 0.02 727 6.99Maintenance (5% of Equipment Capital) 8.7 0.09 3,440 33.10Natural Gas 0.0 0.00 5,020 48.22Reagents 0.0 0.00 13,500 130.14Process Water 0.5 0.0 154 1.48Administration 0.0 0.00 1,560 14.97Labour 563.7 5.64 4,420 42.49Contingency (10% Brine, 15% Hydromagnesite) 57 0.57 4,330 41.61TOTAL 632.4 6.32 33,200 319.00Summary of Reserve and Resource UpdateOnly "Probable Reserves" can be estimated for Magnesium Chloride from "Measured Resources" and "Indicated Resources."The total amount of KCl that can be mined from the proven and probable reserves remains at 62.9 and 92.0 million tonnes of KCl respectively, for a total of 154.9 million tonnes of KCl.Based on the brine composition from the Technical Report, about 191,000 tpy of MgCl2 in feed brine, to the Magnesium Product Facility is required for the planned annual production of 100,000 tonnes MgCl2 brine and 104,000 tonnes Hydromagnesite, which translates to 141,000 tpy of MgCl2 in the final products. This amounts to:19.7% of the annual amount of MgCl2 mined from Sylvinite and Carnallitite to produce 625,000 tpy of potash product, or5.8% of the annual amount of MgCl2 mined from Sylvinite and Carnallitite to produce 2.125 million tpy of potash product.Magnesium Chloride mineralisation can be estimated from the "Measured Resources" and "Indicated Resources." These Resource areas have been reduced by the definition of technical exclusion zones, where mining should not take place to avoid any problems at the surface due to potential subsidence. Mineral Reserves have been estimated by placing caverns over the license area in grid as defined by the mining method. For each drill hole a typical cavern recovery of mineralized material at given grade has been estimated. This amount was reduced by 10% to account for any anomalies below the resolution of 3D seismic. Reserves were estimated by counting the number of caverns in the "Measured" and "Indicated" Resource areas for each drill hole and multiplying this number with the typical cavern recovery. Plant recovery of 5.8% is used, which takes into account the relation between plant capacity and MgCl2 availability from the Potash plant as well as Magnesium plant recovery.Assuming that during the first years of potash production only MgCl2 brine will be produced, and only when full potash production is reached will the Hydromagnesite be produced, the following "Probable" MgCl2 reserves are as follows:PROBABLE RESERVES Mineralized Material(106 tonnes) Average MgCl2 Grade (% MgCl2) Mineable MgCl2 Tonnage (106 tonnes) MgCl2 in Product Tonnage (106 tonnes)Total Carnallitite 677.7 21.7 147.1 7.6The total amount of MgCl2 products that can be produced is not dependent on the available reserves but on the capacity of the plant and the market. The MgCl2 reserves can be increased, without further exploration, by investment in a plant expansion and identification of a market for the additional product.In addition to the Mineral Reserves, the Technical Report provides an estimate of the "Inferred Resources". It cannot be assumed that all or any part of the Inferred Resources will be upgraded to Indicated or Measured Resources due to additional exploration. Inferred Resources have not been considered in the PFS as they are considered too geologically speculative.The estimated Inferred Resource includes Resources for two areas: a) The Radius of Influence ("ROI") Areas and b) The "Restricted Areas". The ROI from cored drill holes is 1.6 to 6.0 km for Patience Lake, Interbed and Belle Plaine inside the 3D seismic area and 2.2 - 6.0 km outside of the 3D Seismic area. For the Esterhazy the ROI from cored drill holes is 1.6 - 6.0 km both inside and outside the 3D seismic area. The "restricted areas" are areas located within the ROI's defined for "Indicated" and Measured" Resources that have been reclassified to an inferred resource based on the Qualified Person's ("QP's") judgement that there are some impediments or doubt as to the 'reasonable prospects for economic extraction' for these areas (despite the confidence in the geology provided by closer proximity to drill holes). These areas include: 1) small parcels of land along the perimeters of ROIs 2) small parcels of land next to collapse anomalies 3) small parcels of land next to the property boundary, and 4) areas around the plant area and the major highway in the area. Further deductions of the area around each drill hole were made to account for the presence of anomalous zones at a size below the resolution of the 3D seismic. A 10% deduction has been made in areas with 3D seismic coverage and a 25% reduction has been made for areas with no 3D seismic coverage.For estimation of the Inferred Resource a cut-off grade of 15% KCl was used in the sylvinite Esterhazy Member and a cut-off grade of 10% KCl was used in the carnallitite Belle Plaine and Patience Lake potash Members, with no exclusion of halite layers (i.e. the broad definition of the solution mining horizon is included.). The volume is multiplied by a density factor being calculated from the mineral composition of the carnallitite and sylvinitic rock as determined from assays, typically in the range of 1.8 to 2.1 t/m³, respectively, for the in-situ sylvinite and carnallitite tonnage.

Furthermore, base line studies for the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) should be conducted and the EIA finalised with the market and pricing of the Hydromagnesite as a TiO2 extender established. The cost for testing is estimated at $2 million CAD, and is included in the CAPEX as part of the owner's costs.Conditional upon a favourable outcome of step 1, step 2 can be initiated which consists of:detailed engineering and advancing to a point where equipment packages can be awarded; andperforming detailed engineering to support preparation of construction license application.The costs for this stage are estimated at $12 to $14 million CAD and these costs are included in the development CAPEX. Additionally, full project financing (approximately $156 million CAD) for the Magnesium Products Facility has to be secured before construction can start, although there is an option to get the MgCl2 brine plant constructed earlier.The Magnesium Products Facility would be built south of the potash production plant. This potash facility is expected to initially produce 625,000 tpy of potash and ultimately increase to 2.125 million tpy of potash.Technical Report and Qualified PersonsA copy of the Technical Report has been filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com titled "KCl and MgCl2 Reserve and Resource Estimate for the Wynyard Carnallite Project, Subsurface Mineral Permit KP 360A and Subsurface Mineral Lease KLSA 010, Saskatchewan, Canada" and is effective June 27, 2012.

PRAGUE, Czech Republic (AP) -- The universe really is expanding - astronomers are proposing to rewrite the textbooks to say that our solar system has 12 planets rather than the nine memorized by generations of schoolchildren.
PRAGUE, Czech Republic (AP) -- The universe really is expanding - astronomers are proposing to rewrite the textbooks to say that our solar system has 12 planets rather than the nine memorized by generations of schoolchildren.
Much-maligned Pluto would remain a planet - and its largest moon plus two other heavenly bodies would join Earth's neighborhood - under a draft resolution to be formally presented Wednesday to the International Astronomical Union, the arbiter of what is and isn't a planet.
"Yes, Virginia, Pluto is a planet," quipped Richard Binzel, a professor of planetary science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The proposal could change, however: Binzel and the other nearly 2,500 astronomers from 75 nations meeting in Prague to hammer out a universal definition of a planet will hold two brainstorming sessions before they vote on the resolution next week. But the draft comes from the IAU's executive committee, which only submits recommendations likely to get two-thirds approval from the group.
Besides reaffirming the status of puny Pluto - whose detractors insist it shouldn't be a planet at all - the new lineup would include 2003 UB313, the farthest-known object in the solar system and nicknamed Xena; Pluto's largest moon, Charon; and the asteroid Ceres, which was a planet in the 1800s before it got demoted.
The panel also proposed a new category of planets called "plutons," referring to Pluto-like objects that reside in the Kuiper Belt, a mysterious, disc-shaped zone beyond Neptune containing thousands of comets and planetary objects. Pluto itself and two of the potential newcomers - Charon and 2003 UB313 - would be plutons.
Astronomers also were being asked to get rid of the term "minor planets," which long has been used to collectively describe asteroids, comets and other non-planetary objects. Instead, those would become collectively known as "small solar system bodies."
If the resolution is approved, the 12 planets in our solar system listed in order of their proximity to the sun would be Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Charon, and the provisionally named 2003 UB313. Its discoverer, Michael Brown of the California Institute of Technology, nicknamed it Xena after the warrior princess of TV fame, but it likely would be rechristened something else later, the panel said.
The galactic shift would force publishers to update encyclopedias and school textbooks, and elementary school teachers to rejigger the planet mobiles hanging from classroom ceilings. Far outside the realm of science, astrologers accustomed to making predictions based on the classic nine might have to tweak their formulas.

Yen edges up against dollar after heavy sell-off
popular .
TOKYO – The yen took a breather in its rapid fall to near four-year lows in Asia on Tuesday, pausing the downward trajectory it began when the Bank of Japan announced aggressive monetary easing last week.
The dollar, which rose to around 99.65 yen early in the morning to hit its highest level since May 2009, was changing hands at 99.25 yen in afternoon trade, against 99.36 yen in New York Monday.
The dollar's rise stalled owing to profit-taking cued by Japanese Finance Minister Aso's comments Tuesday that the yen's excessive strength was being corrected, as well as on dollar selling by exporters, market players said.
The euro rose to 129.52 yen from 129.23 yen in US trade. The European common currency also rose to $1.3049 from $1.3005.
The safe-haven yen hit its postwar high of 75.32 against the dollar in late 2011.
But it took a plunge in December as new Prime Minister Shinzo Abe promised active public spending and called for aggressive easing by the Bank of Japan (BoJ).
The yen has tumbled further since last week when the bank announced sweeping stimulus measures under new governor Haruhiko Kuroda.
Although a weak yen is good for Japanese exporters as it makes their products more competitive abroad, it also makes Japanese import bills higher.
Abe on Tuesday acknowledged the government "needs to continue watching how rises in prices of raw materials and other items are affecting companies and households".
But "the recent currency trend is giving a positive impact to the economy as a whole", he told a parliamentary committee.
The dollar's upward momentum against the yen could last for at least another month, said Citibank Japan chief FX strategist Osamu Takashima, adding it looked set to rise by more than one yen in the short term.
"But by looking at the market momentum right now, it looks like markets won't be satisfied with the dollar touching 100.80," Takashima said.
The euro has risen against the dollar following weaker-than-expected US jobs data Friday last week, a senior dealer said.
The dollar was largely lower against most other Asia-Pacific currencies Monday.
It fell to 41.26 Philippine pesos from 41.30 pesos a on Monday, to Sg$1.2401 from Sg$1.2411, to 9,739 Indonesian rupiah from 9,761 rupiah and to 1,137.75 South Korean won from 1,138.85 won.
It also eased to 54.43 Indian rupees from 54.69 rupees and to 28.97 Thai baht from 29.32 baht but rose to Tw$30.05 from Tw$30.00.
The Australian dollar rose to $1.0429 from $1.0369 while the Chinese yuan rose to 16.00 yen from 15.86 yen.

|Half Baths
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
Our luxury villa is ideally located just 5 minutes to Disney in the Formosa Gardens area off the 192 Highway and with easy access to the I4 interstate just 10 -15 minutes to Universal and Seaworld. Shopping and restaurants all within 2 minute Drive. Mystic Dunnes Golf course and crazy Golf for the kids 2 minutes away. The villa has 5 bedrooms , two living areas, a well equipped Kitchen, 3 bathrooms, laundry room, games room, and a large swimming pool backing on to a conservation area.
My family stayed in Mickey's Crib for three weeks, and what a great experience it was! The conservation area to the back is really something! It brings all the wildlife so close to you! We enjoyed watching our 'resident Hawk' who perched in the nearby palm tree at least three times a day, every day that we were there. Along with three, very tuneful, red birds (can't remember their name), but they were beatiful.
In short, we have holidayed in Orlando 14 times now and have never got bored of the place. You can do as much or as little as you like, and this villa compliments that perfectly. If you want to go the parks, they are really close by. For example, it took us 8 minutes to get from Disney's Magic Kingdom carpark to the villa! It was surprisingly close. Every other park is within 20/25 minutes (ie universal, seaworld etc) Being so close means you can go to the parks early, return mid afternoon, when the it is at it's hottest, for a dip in the pool and some food, then return for the evening. It's that close!!!
The management company were excellent, they answered some questions for us, due to our naivity, and were only too happy to help!
In conclusion, if you are looking for a family villa, with a lovely surrounding, close to the all the parks..........look no further, this one fits the bill!
Almost forgot, you can see Disney's magic Kingdom fireworks from the pool deck which was a great bonus.
Thankyou Denise.
Looking forward to re-booking in 2014 already.
What a lovely villa and location. We stayed the last two weeks of May 11. The weather was mid 90's and only rained the last day. An extra bonus was watching the shuttle – from about 50 miles – on the first day.
The attraction of the villa was the pool facing the conservation area and not being overlooked. We had a daily visit from a lovely red cardinal whos song was magnificent. Plenty of other wildlife from herons, egrets and a large raptor soaring above on the thermals. At night the different croaking was like a band !!
The pool faced north so you had the sun all day. This was a joy on returning from the parks and no heating was required. An extra delight was one night watching the fireworks from Disney.
Shops were literally a few minutes away with Disney only a few more, Formosa is one of the closest communities. With the short cut to Animal Kingdom this saved a lot of time queuing on the 192. The I4 again was close by and easy for Universal and Busch Gardens and all the shopping malls.
A big thanks to Denise who answered all our emails before during and after our holiday.
I would recommend this villa to anyone. We will certainly be booking again when we return in a couple of years.
We stayed at this villa for 3 weeks in April/ May 2011 and thought it was wonderful. The location is ideal, right near Formosa Gardens with its fair selection of restaurants (Outback and Red Lobster in particular!).
The pool faces north onto a conservation area and this was ideal - the pool was in the sun all day and the covered alcove stayed in the shade. The local wildlife was entertaining too - we saw lizards, a snake, herons, egrets, Sandhill Cranes, bluejays, a hummingbird, a Gopher tortoise and other (as yet undetermined) species of birds.
The location is ideal for Disney too, in fact you can barely get closer for a pool home.
The other big plus was the actual layout. It was perfect for two families because it had an upstairs with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms; and the downstairs with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. This meant when we stayed, we had the downstairs and our friends had the upstairs so it gave us all some degree of privacy.
We will certainly look to stay here again next year if it's available and we can recruit another family!
We found the villa really home from home it was brilliant all a family could want really lots to do in the house for the children and the adults a drink around the pool watching the wildlife outside with the piece and quiet lovely.The villa is in a perfect location for the shops and disney parks.The management company are just a phone call away and really helpful.will recommend this villa to others.
We stay 13th september to 4th october 2010,Been to florida five times now.This villa has been the best location and the villa we,ve ever stayed in.Management comany were brilliant will recommend to family and friends,thank you from the armstrong family x
we stayed in this lovely villa 2009 with our family and found it fantastic .super house with lots of room and lots of extras i.e baby equipment which we found perfect as we had a one year old . kids loved it , got good of the games room and the pool . house is in great location close to disney (10 min drive) . went back last year but sadly house was occupied for the time ,otherwise this would have been our number one choice. would highly recommend this villa for familys with children as it is such child friendly .

With approximately 21 million Americans flying during the 12-day period surrounding Thanksgiving – and more preparing to fly over the Christmas holidays -- the public debate over the new, intrusive TSA searches isn't likely to die down any time soon. Nor should it.
Certainly, in a democratic republic, citizens have every right to weigh in on the proper balance between freedom and security (although it is a bit rich when those who routinely sport today's most revealing fashions -- or their parents -- suddenly react with shocked modesty to the prospect of scanners showing what's already pretty well evident to the naked eye). But the widespread outrage is more than the traditional American aversion to intrusive, overreaching government.
In truth, it's a revolt against the Obama administration's moral obtuseness in prosecuting the war on terror. The kind of searches the TSA is now empowered to conduct signal that the terrorist threat is real, and pressing, and imminently dangerous to each of us – so dangerous, in fact, that government agents must have license to grope anyone in the security line in the most personal, intimate ways. Now, Americans might be willing to accept this level of intrusion – where any law-abiding citizen can be treated as a potential terrorist – if it were consistent with the administration's approach to confronting terrorism and those who engage in it.
But it's not. And that mismatch rightly generates public disgust and outrage.
Think of the President's longstanding approach to the war on terror. From the beginning, candidate Obama sent the message that the Bush administration was overreacting to the potential for attacks by Islamic extremists. Indeed, since taking office, the President has used the phrase "war on terror" less than a dozen times, preferring instead circumlocutions like "overseas contingency operation." (And who can forget Janet Napolitano's famous "man-caused disasters"?)
Worse, the administration has demonstrated an ongoing commitment to treating terrorism like a law-enforcement matter, rather than a military one. From proposing to move Guantanamo Bay prisoners to US prisons and send the 9/11 plotters to trial in Manhattan to terminating the questioning of the Christmas bombing suspect after one hour and reading him his Miranda rights, the Obama administration has been exquisitely sensitive to the perceived rights and sensibilities of suspected terrorists.

Lady Charger soccer team improves to 8-5
|Members of the 2015 Middlesex High School varsity girls soccer team include, front row from left, Ashton Carter, Alexis Morgan, Hannah Marx, Andri Rowe, Kiera Peters, Gabby Taylor, Emilie Smith, Olivia Pearson, Tyra Mundin and Anjela Fomin; back row, assistant coach Clayton Hogge, Meghan Shores, Shannon Brown, Jillian Solomon, Jasmine Faucett, Marry Kiku, Tashya Morris, Julianna Solomon, Haley Revere, and head coach Eric Smith.

The following article was inadvertently left out of the May 21 issue of the Southside Sentinel.
The Middlesex High girls varsity soccer team (8-5) split a pair of recent matches, winning 5-1 over Essex but losing 5-1 to King William.
Middlesex controlled the midfield early against Essex, which attempted long shots on goal but Lady Charger goalie Gabby Taylor was on her game and repeatedly shut them down.
Around 20 minutes into the game Lady Charger Anjela Fomin one-touched a through ball to Emilie Smith, who drove the ball down the field and made a great lob shot over the goalie to the upper left corner.
A few minutes later E. Smith stole the ball and drove the left side and made a 25-yard lob shot over the goalie for her second goal.
MHS goalie Taylor had to face another penalty kick and she played it perfectly. "She read the shot and launched herself to the left to block it and save the goal," said MHS coach Eric Smith. "It really was a great dive and save."
Just before the half, Essex got on the board from a nice cross and tap in to cut the Middlesex lead to 2-1.
The second half started with more intensity. With 25 minutes left, Middlesex got a free kick. Olivia Pearson made the kick and placed it perfectly over the defense to a running E. Smith who half volleyed the ball into the right side of the net for the score.
The duo was not finished. Two minutes later Pearson fed E. Smith, who drove left and scored her fourth goal of the game.
From this point Lady Chargers Ashton Carter and Luana DeSilva took over the shooting roles and placed multiple shots at the goal.
Andri Rowe, Meghan Shores, Marry Kiku, and Hannah Marx played very well in defense. "All of our subs played a very important part of this game by filling in and playing very well," said Coach Smith.
Taylor had 16 saves in goal; E. Smith had 4 goals; Pearson had 2 assists; and Fomin had 1 assist.
King William led 2-0 at the half.
A collision at the net sent MHS goalie Gabby Taylor to the sidelines. Jasmine Faucett replaced Taylor in goal and "she played to her potential," said Coach Smith.
Late in the game Pearson had a throw-in for MHS and it was headed up in the air in the box. E. Smith battled for the spot and placed a great header by the goalie. "It was important for us to get on the board to give the girls some sense of accomplishment for a hard-fought game," said Coach Smith.
Coach Smith noted that a few starting girls are out with injuries and its nice to see the bench step up and fill in the spots very well. "Regardless of the score and standings so far this season, we are very excited to have done what we have done," he said.

In the trials, patients taking naltrexone/bupropion were more likely to have an increase in blood pressure and heart rate than placebo patients, an effect that was most pronounced during the first eight weeks of treatment.
However, patients taking naltrexone/bupropion who lost at least 5 percent of their body weight achieved lower blood pressure and heart rate compared with those who lost less weight. But the most impressive improvements in blood pressure and weight loss were seen among patients taking placebo who achieved more than a 5 percent weight loss, suggesting diet and exercise is the best option for obese patients to lower their blood pressure.
Panelists were concerned that a drug that is supposed to reduce obesity -- and hopefully other comorbidities along with it -- actually raised blood pressure instead.
"This is my biggest concern," said Dr. Lamont Weide, chief of diabetes and endocrinology at Truman Medical Centers Diabetes Center in Kansas City, Mo. "That we are blunting all the good effects that we should see with weight loss."
The FDA reviewers concluded there wasn't enough data on the cardiovascular risks of the drug. The panel seemed to agree, but voted 11-8, with two panelists abstaining, that the company could submit new data after approval to show that the drug doesn't present major heart risks.
The panel's one neurologist, Dr. Michael Rogawski, said he thought the panel downplayed the drug's seizure risk.
Two patients in the clinical trials experienced seizures after going on naltrexone/bupropion; no participants in the placebo group had seizures. About one in 1,000 patients who take the drug would be expected to have a seizure, the panelists said.
"They occur only in one out of 1,000, but still, the consequences of having a seizure could be catastrophic," said Rogawski, who ended up voting in favor of the drug.
There is currently just one anti-obesity drug on the market: Orlistat (Xenical, Alli), after Abbott, the maker of another drug sibutramine (Meridia) voluntarily agreed to remove it from the U.S. market in October because of increased risk of stroke and MI.
Several physicians and other healthcare professionals contacted by MedPage Today and ABC News were pleased with the panel's decision and said that doctors badly need a new drug to help patients battle obesity.
"It is nice to have a medication that can help those who are watching their diet and boosting activity lose the weight that thus far has been a slow process," said dietitian Connie Diekman, director of University Nutrition ?at Washington University in St Louis. "This is one more option in the tool chest to deal with the obesity issue."
"Finally!" said Dr. Robert F. Kushner, professor of Medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. "I fully endorse the panel's vote. The key will be to educate physicians on how to best prescribe the medication -- identify patients who will benefit from the medication and to accompany it with lifestyle and behavioral recommendations."
Paul L. Doering, a pharmacy professor at the University of Florida, said he doesn't "doubt for a minute that this drug will be wildly successful, at least at first," adding, "Time will ultimately tell if it is a good drug or not. In the meantime, I'm going to let somebody else be the first to take it."

Exile on Jihad Street: Can Mali's World-Famous Music Festival Ever Go Back Home?
- By Katelyn FossettKatelyn Fossett is an editorial researcher at Foreign Policy. A native of Kentucky, she has previously written for the Inter Press Service and Washington Monthly. She holds a bachelor's degree from Columbia University.
Not even Mali's music-hating Islamists can the keep the country's musicians from throwing a king-sized show.
Musicians in the country have been embattled since 2012, when a triumvirate of militant Islamist groups groups seized power of the country and launched an offensive against a range of popular entertainment, including dancing and music. While a French military intervention last year ousted the Islamists from power, concerns remain about openly performing music, especially in the north where the jihadists' retain some influence and control. But Mali's world-famous musicians are resisting the threats to their craft, most recently by taking their world-renowned music festival on the road. The Festival au Desert, which was originally scheduled for Jan. 9-11 in Timbuktu, was canceled at the last minute due to security concerns. The organizers of the show announced that it will resume abroad and on Wednesday, the festival began a three-day appearance in Berlin.
Music and musicians are central to Malian society. More than just storytellers or musicians, a class of griots are tasked with guarding generations of oral history and resolving local disputes. Traditional Malian music is also a well-known export. Scholars have traced early blues to traditional West African music, and the Festival au Desert has become so well-known during its 14 years of existence that Bono has even put in an an appearance. The Malian president has said the festival is the country's premier tourist attraction, and it received the Freemuse award for freedom of musical expression in 2013 for "keeping music alive in the region" despite the efforts of extremists.
The concert and the rich musical culture in which it takes root came under fire when Islamists seized control of Mali in 2012, banning secular music and dance and forcing griots underground or out of the country. Music of all kinds became a target. In just one example, after Ansar al-Dine, one of the jihadist groups, took control of the Malian town Kidal, the local radio station started to broadcast only Quranic chants and Islamic messages. Amidst the crackdown, last year's celebration was canceled entirely. Some speculated that the Festival au Desert was resigned to the same fate suffered by Pakistan's Basant Kite Festival, a celebration banned since 2007 that faces continued opposition by Islamic extremists in the country.
The loosening of Islamists' grip on power since 2012 had raised hopes that this year's festival would return to its native Timbuktu. With jihadists beaten back by French troops in much of the country, the ban on music has become largely ineffectual and the beginnings of a reinvigorated music scene are slowly stirring. Still, the disruption of the tradition and widespread fear has made the musical rebirth less than robust. Many Malians remain apprehensive about what will happen after most French troops withdraw this month. And indeed, lingering concerns over security ultimately ruined the festival's plans to return home.
The festival's leap to Berlin is just the latest in the show's increasing internationalization. After being canceled in Mali last year, the concert took to Chicago in September 2013 and stopped by New York, Scandinavia, and Morocco afterwards. The music festival continuing outside of Mali holds troubling implications for the future of music in the country, where the Islamist ban may have been the last straw in an industry already plagued by problems like drying sources of income and feeble intellectual property protection. But for the musicians who are performing in Berlin today, moving the performances beyond Malian borders is also the ultimate act of resistance.
"If they've closed the doors of Timbuktu we'll open up the rest of the world. We'll go and sing in Tokyo. We'll play igbayen in Rio de Janeiro, we'll sound the tindé drum in Dubai and dance the takamba in Toronto," Manny Ansar, the festival's director, told Freemuse for a report published in February last year. "Today it'll be heard in all the big festivals in the world … It's our victory and your defeat."
The show will be in Berlin through Jan. 10 and is slated to culminate at the end of the month in Burkina Faso. In a recent press release announcing the appearance in Berlin, Ansar expressed hope that the festival might be able to return to Timbuktu one day.
See a performance by famous Malian musicians Ali Farka Touré (now deceased) and Toumani Diabaté for yourself below. Diabaté reportedly comes from more than 70 generations of griots before him.

This post is part of a series about WCF extensibility points. For a list of all previous posts and planned future ones, go to the index page.
Continuing on serialization, this post is about a new feature on the WCF serializers in .NET Framework 4.0, the DataContractResolver. Like the previous post on surrogates, there is already good documentation on MSDN, so this post will be short. But since I've seen an issue this week on the forums, I thought it'd be worth including the code here in this series.
In order to understand the data contract resolver, we need to take a step back and look at a common issue (and source of confusion) in WCF: known types. In order for WCF to be able to serialize or deserialize an object graph, it needs to know about all the objects in that graph. If the actual type of the object is the same as its declared type, then WCF already knows about it (the "baseInstance" member in the code below). If those types are different, then WCF doesn't know by default about the type – in the case of the "derivedInstance" in the code below, WCF doesn't know the MyDerived type, so it won't serialize it unless we tell it that this type is known.
There are many good descriptions on why we need the known types and how to set them ("official" MSDN documentation, Youssef Moussaoui's MSDN blog, Mark Gravell's Stack Overflow post, Richard Blewett's blog, etc.) so I won't go in detail here. But known types serves a purpose that we can declare, when the serialize is being created, which types are to be considered "valid" even though they're not part of the object declaration. And the part in italic is important here – once the known type list is passed somehow to the serializer, it's set and it cannot be changed during the serializer lifetime.
In the version 4.0 of the framework, WCF introduced a new concept, , the data contract resolver. Instead of defining the set of known types "statically" (either by specifying the types directly in a KnownTypeAttribute – or ServiceKnownTypeAttribute – or by specifying a method in those attributes which will be invoked when the serializer is being configured), the data contract resolver provides some hooks which allow us to specify, at the moment when the object is being serialized or deserialized, a mapping between the CLR type and the name / namespace in the XML which will be used to represent this "unknown" type. There is good documentation about this topic, including the MSDN reference page, the MSDN detail page, or Youssef Massaoui's blog, so I won't repeat that information here.
When the serializer is set up with a DataContractResolver, during serialization, if the serializer finds out an object where the actual type doesn't match the declared type, it will ask the resolver whether it can process it, by calling TryResolveType. If the resolver can do that, then the serializer will use the resulting name and namespace to write out the XML for that type in the type hint attribute (an attribute with local name "type" and namespace "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance". During deserialization, if a type hint attribute is found, then the serializer will call the ResolveName method on the resolver, where it can decide which type to use.
Just like with the data contract surrogates shown in last post, the DataContractResolver can be passed as a parameter to the constructor of the WCF serializers (both the DataContractSerializer and the DataContractJsonSerializer). The example below shows one simple example of a resolver in action. Notice that all resolver implementations should delegate the call to the known type resolver parameter passed to it in case it can't handle the type itself.
For setting the resolver in the context of WCF services, just like with the surrogates, you can use the DataContractResolver property on the DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior class. For an example of accessing this behavior, check the previous post.
The scenario for the data contract resolver is when we want to delay the decision about known (safe?) types until it's actually needed. I thought for a while but couldn't think of an interesting scenario for this, until I stumbled upon this post on the forums, where the user wanted to use dynamic types (i.e., those created using the System.Reflection.Emit namespace). That's a great example of a scenario where the "traditional" known type approach doesn't work – the actual type may not even exist when the service / serializer is being created. So I created a sample with this scenario. The idea is passing an object between the client and the server which has a member of type System.Object, and the actual value of the field is of a dynamic type.
This is the holder object – nothing fancy here.
And in the service contract I wanted to have three scenarios: one where the client sends a request to the server with a dynamic type (which originally didn't exist in the server) and receives the same type; one which the client just sends something new to the service, but receives a known type; and one which the server is the one who sends something back to the client that it doesn't know yet.
The server implementation is straightforward, although the GetHolder method uses a type builder library which I'll mention later.
And before I go on with more code, the usual disclaimer: this is a sample for illustrating the topic of this post, this is not production-ready code. I tested it for a few types and it worked, but I cannot guarantee that it will work for all scenarios (please let me know if you find a bug or something missing). Also, for simplicity sake it doesn't have a lot of error handling which a production-level code would (i.e., in the server GetHolder / PutHolder method, in the type builder, etc.), and the type builder library only supports a fixed set of types, chosen for this sample only – in a real usage if the types would be created from some external storage such as a database (if they were fixed they would simply be written as "normal" ones instead of dynamic).
Now onto the interesting code. The DynamicTypeBuilder helper class is a singleton which knows how to build some pre-defined types. All the types are created in the same (dynamic) assembly so we can verify whether a certain type exists or not. The types are cached so that we only create a given type once.
The types supported in this sample are simple DTO types, with a few properties, and a ToString implementation which will help showing their values. Each type is created using a helper method as shown below.
CreateType is where the types are actually created. Each type is decorated with the DataContractAttribute and has fields and properties defined based on the parameters passed to the method. I'll omit the detailed implementation of CreateProperty and OverrideToString here (they're in the project on the code gallery), as they aren't really related to the topic on this post.
Now onto the resolver. First: serialization (TryResolveType). When an instance of MyHolder is being serialized, if since the actual type of the MyObject property comes from the dynamic assembly (here we do a simple name comparison), we resolve that type using a constant namespace and the type name. If it doesn't, then we delegate to the known type resolver which is passed to the method. During deserialization (ResolveName) we go the opposite way: if the namespace is our constant value, and we can load the dynamic type from our builder, then we return that type. If not, we again delegate the call to the resolver.
The infrastructure pieces are done, we can now test to see if everything works out fine. First the server: in a simple self-hosted service, we replace the resolver in all operations in the endpoint contract. Nothing fancy here.
The client starts in a similar way: define the channel factory, update the DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior to set the resolver, then call the server operations. The Echo operation is shown below.
The PutHolder operation is similar to the first one: the client sends an object which doesn't exist on the sever, and it's then created by the resolver at the server process. The GetHolder is interesting in that in the client the type doesn't exist yet, and we can show by enumerating the types in the dynamic assembly. But the operation call should work out just fine as well.
And that's it. The full code (including the methods not mentioned here) is on the code gallery sample (link to the code at the end of this post).
Unlike with the data contract surrogates, resolvers can be used to change the name / namespace of primitive types. If you have, for example, a string object assigned to a member whose declared type is object, you can safely use a resolver to change the type name / namespace used in the type hint for the string. Another thing is that using a resolver makes the serialization slower than using the "standard" known types feature (since known types are static, they can be cached and the calls don't need to be made all the time), so be aware that when using the resolver, the additional functionality comes at a price in terms of execution time.
Wrapping up the serialization extensibility, with a short post on extensible data object.

Re: Fishers Island
Dog Watch Cafe which is Dodsons restaurant as I recall had some microbrews. The town is quaint and small with the village green and one street really. Lots of Victorian homes.
Quiet and not a lot of bars and restaurants.
When are you planning to be there?
We are stopping there this year. We come up from the Chesapeake the second week of August and will be in Stonington sometime at the end of third week of August as we hop our way back down the LI Sound to NYC/ Atlantic Highlands.

Citizen Cartographers Unite: Report from the First White House MapathonPosted byon May 28, 2015 at 3:10 PM EDT
Last week, citizen cartographers joined the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and Office of Digital Strategy for the first-ever White House Mapathon.
In just three hours, more than 80 mappers edited more than 400 roads and 1,000 buildings in OpenStreetMap, and collected power outage info on 152 power utilities. The mapathon focused on three main projects: humanitarian mapping efforts, mapping U.S. parks, and power outage mapping.
It Is Rocket Science! NASA Releases Abundance of Free CodePosted byon May 13, 2015 at 9:18 AM EDT
This week, NASA released its second annual Software Catalog, a giant compendium of over 1,000 programs available for free to industry, government agencies, and the general public. The Software Catalog contains the actual advanced engineering and aeronautics codes NASA engineers purpose-built for their daily work.
The Software Catalog stemmed from the October 28, 2011 Presidential Memorandum on accelerating the commercialization of Federal research in support of high-growth businesses, in which the President challenged all Federal agencies to find new ways to increase the efficiency and economic impact of their technology transfer activities.
In response to this call to action, NASA developed a five-year plan for accelerating technology transfer with several high-level objectives, one of which was to locate, collect, and make accessible all of the agency's software. The result was the Software Catalog, a comprehensive offering of all of NASA's releasable software, including programs designated as open-source, codes-restricted, and government-use. The first edition of the Software Catalog, published in May 2014, has been downloaded over 100,000 times, and the Software Catalog website (software.nasa.gov) has received millions of visitors. With the release of the second edition of the Software Catalog, NASA remains the first and only agency to offer this comprehensive a collection of free software tools, and serves as an example for others to follow.Learn more about
Two Years of Transformative Open Data for Public GoodPosted byon May 11, 2015 at 4:28 PM EDT
Two years ago, President Obama signed an Executive Order (E.O.) to improve how our government shares information for the benefit of the American people. The E.O. meant that for the first time in history, Federal government data was required to be open by default with common standards and machine-readable formats. As a result, government information is now more easily discoverable with the necessary safeguards to prevent release of sensitive and personally identifiable information.
Data is a vital national resource, empowering Americans to fuel entrepreneurship, innovation, scientific discovery, and economic growth throughout all 50 states. Through implementation of the Open Data Policy and U.S. Open Data Action Plan, today's Federal government serves as an engine to expand economic growth and opportunity for all Americans through the release of government data. Moreover, since information about government operations is more readily available, this data helps create a more efficient and transparent government.Learn more about
OSTP and USPTO Welcome Game-Changing Innovators for the 2015 Patents for Humanity CeremonyPosted byon April 21, 2015 at 11:06 AM EDT
On April 20, OSTP and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) hosted the 2015 Patents for Humanity award winners for a ceremony in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Patents for Humanity, which was launched at the White House in February 2012, is a USPTO program that recognizes innovators who use pioneering technology to confront humanitarian challenges.

OSTP has long recognized the promise of such pull mechanisms to help overcome market failures and catalyze potentially game-changing innovations through market incentives. The Administration's efforts in this area focus on making the best use of the technological and scientific breakthroughs that are characteristic of America's entrepreneurs, innovators, and researchers by expediting commercialization of inventions for humanitarian purposes and rewarding companies that use their patented technologies to solve societal challenges.Learn more about ,
21st-Century Public Servants: Using Prizes and Challenges to Spur InnovationPosted byon April 17, 2015 at 1:33 PM EDT
Thousands of Federal employees across the government are using a variety of modern tools and techniques to deliver services more effectively and efficiently, and to solve problems that relate to the missions of their Agencies. These 21st-century public servants are accomplishing meaningful results by applying new tools and techniques to their programs and projects, such as prizes and challenges, citizen science and crowdsourcing, open data, and human-centered design.
Prizes and challenges have been a particularly popular tool at Federal agencies. With 397 prizes and challenges posted on challenge.gov since September 2010, there are hundreds of examples of the many different ways these tools can be designed for a variety of goals. For example:
- NASA's Mars Balance Mass Challenge: When NASA's Curiosity rover pummeled through the Martian atmosphere and came to rest on the surface of Mars in 2012, about 300 kilograms of solid tungsten mass had to be jettisoned to ensure the spacecraft was in a safe orientation for landing. In an effort to seek creative concepts for small science and technology payloads that could potentially replace a portion of such jettisoned mass on future missions, NASA released the Mars Balance Mass Challenge. In only two months, over 200 concepts were submitted by over 2,100 individuals from 43 different countries for NASA to review. Proposed concepts ranged from small drones and 3D printers to radiation detectors and pre-positioning supplies for future human missions to the planet's surface. NASA awarded the $20,000 prize to Ted Ground of Rising Star, Texas for his idea to use the jettisoned payload to investigate the Mars atmosphere in a way similar to how NASA uses sounding rockets to study Earth's atmosphere. This was the first time Ted worked with NASA, and NASA was impressed by the novelty and elegance of his proposal: a proposal that NASA likely would not have received through a traditional contract or grant because individuals, as opposed to organizations, are generally not eligible to participate in those types of competitions.
- National Institutes of Health (NIH) Breast Cancer Startup Challenge (BCSC): The primary goals of the BCSC were to accelerate the process of bringing emerging breast cancer technologies to market, and to stimulate the creation of start-up businesses around nine federally conceived and owned inventions, and one invention from an Avon Foundation for Women portfolio grantee. While NIH has the capacity to enable collaborative research or to license technology to existing businesses, many technologies are at an early stage and are ideally suited for licensing by startup companies to further develop them into commercial products. This challenge established 11 new startups that have the potential to create new jobs and help promising NIH cancer inventions support the fight against breast cancer. The BCSC turned the traditional business plan competition model on its head to create a new channel to license inventions by crowdsourcing talent to create new startups.
These two examples of challenges are very different, in terms of their purpose and the process used to design and implement them. The success they have demonstrated shouldn't be taken for granted. It takes access to resources (both information and people), mentoring, and practical experience to both understand how to identify opportunities for innovation tools, like prizes and challenges, to use them to achieve a desired outcome.
The Obama Administration has taken important steps to make prizes and challenges standard tools in every agency's innovation toolbox. To make these tools easier to use by more Federal employees, the Administration committed in the 2013 Second Open Government National Action Plan to "convene an interagency group to develop an Open Innovation Toolkit for Federal agencies that will include best practices, training, policies, and guidance on authorities related to open innovation, including approaches such as incentive prizes, crowdsourcing, and citizen science." Work on developing one half of this open innovation toolkit, the citizen science and crowdsourcing toolkit, began in fall 2014.
Last month, the Challenge.gov program at the General Services Administration (GSA), the Office of Personnel Management (OPM)'s Innovation Lab, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), and a core team of Federal leaders in the prize-practitioner community began collaborating with the Federal Community of Practice for Challenges and Prizes to develop the other half of the open innovation toolkit, the prizes and challenges toolkit. In developing this toolkit, OSTP and GSA are thinking not only about the information and process resources that would be helpful to empower 21st-century public servants using these tools, but also how we help connect these people to one another to add another meaningful layer to the learning environment.
On March 6, 2015, the White House OSTP, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM)'s Innovation Lab, and the GSA Challenge.gov program convened an all-day, user-centered design workshop to develop user needs for a Federal prizes and challenges toolkit. Thirty members of the Federal Community of Practice for Prizes and Challenges participated. (Photo credit: Arianne Miller)
Creating an inventory of skills and knowledge across the 600-person (and growing!) Federal community of practice in prizes and challenges will likely be an important resource in support of a useful toolkit. Prize design and implementation can involve tricky questions, such as:
- Do I have the authority to conduct a prize or challenge?
- How should I approach problem definition and prize design?
- Can agencies own solutions that come out of challenges?
- How should I engage the public in developing a prize concept or rules?
- What types of incentives work best to motivate participation in challenges?
- What legal requirements apply to my prize competition?
- Can non-Federal employees be included as judges for my prizes?
- How objective do the judging criteria need to be?
- Can I partner to conduct a challenge? What's the right agreement to use in a partnership?
- Who can win prize money and who is eligible to compete?
Often there are not "one-size-fits-all" answers to these questions, which is what makes peer-to-peer consultation so valuable. Making it easier for public servants to find each other and know who to reach out to for consultation will help expand prize design and implementation capacity in the Federal workforce, and will enable organic scaling the use of these tools.
As more and more Federal employees are equipped with modern tools and techniques such as prizes and challenges, 21st-century public servants will have more options for making meaningful progress towards solving tough problems and delivering services more efficiently and effectively in areas of national priority such as energy, health care, precision medicine, education, and the economy.

Improving Accessibility of Government WebsitesPosted byon April 16, 2015 at 3:12 PM EDT
As government digital efforts continue to grow, improving accessibility of government websites for individuals with disabilities remains a government-wide priority. On March 31, the Office of Science and Technology Policy joined with the General Services Administration's 18F team, the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research, and DC Legal Hackers to host a11yhack, a website accessibility hackathon.
Federal websites are, by law, designed to be accessible to everyone — including individuals who are visually impaired, hearing impaired, or have mobility issues. The hackathon was aimed at accessibility — or "a11y" — users, developers, policy makers, and technologists. It featured experts from inside and outside of government discussing their work and an opportunity to collaborate on new and existing projects. The event's goal was to develop shareable solutions to some of the digital accessibility problems facing government and users today.
For example, one team began working on a 508 Procurement Playbook — a tool intended to assist agency teams as they obtain new systems and technologies to be sure they comply with Section 508, an amendment to the United States Workforce Rehabilitation Act of 1973 that was enacted to eliminate barriers in information technology.
Unlike most hackathons, which are focused primarily on tech tools and solutions, this event also included a policy hackathon breakout which gave many of the government and civil society policy experts an opportunity to discuss existing policies and potential areas for improvement. The policy breakout group developed next steps including a proposed summit to dive deeper into these issues. Additional breakouts offered hands-on demos of tools and systems that government and non-government teams had created.

As stated in Brookshire's Thanks A Million Collect And Win Game rules, if specific prizes weren't claimed during the contest period, there would be random drawings held Dec. 10 among all eligible sweepstakes entries received in the Food Club Carnival Cruise Sweepstakes, and Kim Lewis from Sweetwater, Texas, has won the Ford F-150 prize valued at $50,000.
"Submitting their cruise entries in the game really paid off for these lucky customers, and we're so excited to be able to award these nice prizes," said BGC Chief Marketing Officer Rick Ellis. "What a great time for them to receive these as well—right before Christmas."
Though no one claimed the $1 million dollar prize, many customers won large prizes such as the $250,000 home makeover, $50,000 cash prize, $25,000 cash prize, several $10,000 cash prizes, and others, in addition to the cruise drawing prizes.
Jennifer Carmichael, who shops at the Brookshire's in Flint, Texas, won the Ford Escape prize valued at $40,000, and Nola Mae Creed, a shopper at the Brookshire's in Winnsboro, Texas, won the Ford Mustang prize valued at $30,000.
