Product quality must carry the long-term success of any sales campaign; however, when it comes to consumer appeal, first impressions count for a lot. When you're sitting on the shelves next to some fairly formidable competition or when you're vying for attention in a Web-centric environment, first looks may be all you get.

King Mo: MMA easy compared to wrestling
KIng Mo: MMA easy compared to wrestling - Mixed Martial Arts NewsMuhammed "King Mo" Lawal, who fights Poland's Przemyslaw Mysiala at Bellator 86 on Jan. 24 said after wrestling, fighting is easy.
"Ive been preparing mentally for all these big moments through every wrestling match Ive had before I even got to MMA," Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal told Bleacher Report on a media conference call.
"Thats why when people talk about MMA being hard, to me its easy compared to wrestling."
"Going overseas, wrestling guys from Russia and Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan. You gotta deal with the fact that in order to get paid you gotta win, and then you gotta deal with the referees cheating you."
"Im not worried about no upsets (vs. Mysiala). Im just worried about me executing my game plan and winning these fights."
"I went to Holland and made sure that [the knee injury] was all straight. I went there to strictly test myself against topflight kickboxers and strikers. Thats why I went there, to see if my knee could hold up, and I left with no injuries."
"I know PrzemyslawI call him 'coleslaw'I know hes tough, has good submissions I just gotta worry about myself being healthy for the next round. Thats all Im worried about."

Before a baby is born, the amniotic sac breaks open, causing
amniotic fluid to either leak slowly or gush out. When this happens before
contractions start, it is called premature rupture of membranes (PROM).
PROM can occur at any time during pregnancy before labor begins.
Early PROM (before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy) may be referred to as
preterm premature rupture of membranes, or pPROM.
PROM is typically unexpected, and the cause is often difficult to
identify. Known causes of PROM include uterine infection; overstretching of the
uterus, such as by twins or more or by an excess of amniotic fluid; and trauma,
such as from a vehicle accident.
Labor usually begins shortly after PROM occurs. If PROM occurs
after 34 to 36 weeks of pregnancy and labor does not start within 12 to 18
hours, labor may be induced to reduce the risk of infection.

I've reviewed some past scenes and found only one real solution. First, everything should cast shadows and receive shadows in the normal manner. This includes both the solid planetary surface and the blend transparent cloud sphere. The secret is that the second sphere really must fit the solid sphere tightly as a second skin almost.
Technically, Bryce is not doing it wrong in your first upload (not the last upload, which is showing some other problem). In the first upload there is a secondary ring of sorts on what should be the shaded side of the planet. I explained that the ring you are seeing is technically accurate, because if clouds were as high above the ground in real life as they are in our artistic renders they actually might receive light from the sun even on the shaded side of the planet. So it seems Bryce handles the issue with such purity, that we have to keep it simple and keep it tight.
It is tempting to want to see shadows from the cloud layer visible on the planet surface when viewed from space, but alas that is not usually the case except for closer shots.
Best of luck!

You would not use PWM for audio electronics obviously and I have not seen any coupling of the PWM frequency on circuits running at 100% duty cycle. More switching does mean more heat on the FETs because the gate spends more time out of saturation on the way up and down, but if you watch the video, you'd see that I am using FETs that warm up just a few degrees at 15A (<1 degree in the 3A range) which is the max current per circuit.
Also, because the PWM generator only outputs a single frequency if you turn it up on one circuit they turn up on all. This is likely to confuse some who do not understand the difference between "duty cycle" percent of time the circuit is on, vs "frequency" which is the speed at which it turns on and off. There is also the issue that the gate resistors on the FETs ought to be tuned to the frequency so that there is no ringing but the spend as much time as possible in saturation. A resistor that is good for 60Hz will be way too big for 60,000Hz.
I am not opposed to allowing a few settings that should work for most users (40,80,120,160) perhaps. I don't think anyone is going to see 160Hz.

Swimming in the Tidal Thames
Swimming in the tidal Thames is dangerous. It's an unthinking act that not only puts the lives of the swimmers on the line, but also exposes boats and commuters to unacceptable risk and disruption.
Every year the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, Metropolitan Police and Port of London Authority deal with tragic drownings. 37 swimmers got into difficulty in the river during 2010 – well over twice that of previous years.
Danger for swimmers:
- Powerful tides, running at around five miles an hour, will overpower even the strongest swimmers.
- Eddies and undertows - caused by the uneven river bed, bridge pillars, piers and moored vessels – will suck swimmers under in seconds and keep them below the surface for days. No safety precautions can counter these lethal currents – surviving them is a simply matter of luck.
- Bitingly cold river water will cripple the most accomplished swimmers and cause involuntary breathing spasms – know as a 'gasp reflex' – when a person is temporarily submerged.
- 39 million cubic metres of raw sewage finds its way into the Thames every year. These spillages occur when heavy rainfall overwhelms the capital's Victorian sewage system.
Danger for other river users:
- The tidal Thames is the UK's busiest inland waterway and second biggest port. Passenger boats, some carrying more than 600 people, can be forced to take sudden avoiding action if a swimmer appears in their path, putting everybody aboard at risk of collision with bridges, piers or other vessels. Swimming is also as disruptive as hiking on a motorway, airport runway or railway line.
The Thames accommodates 20,000 ship movements, 200,000 leisure craft trips and 50 sporting events each year. It's a busy river that just isn't big enough to accommodate the aspirations of swimmers who put their own safety - and the safety of others - at risk.

Swim in safety – not in the Thames!

Smoked Brisket
Cajun-Style Roast Chicken
Roasted Root Vegetables
Roast Pork Sirloin
This is Part 1 of a Two-Part Series on Wintertime Outdoor Cooking. Part 2 is here.
For those in the northern climes, smoking season ends with the arrival of cold weather. A lot of folks pack up their grills and smokers in October and leave them forsaken until March or April, when temperatures begin their slow climb above freezing. Enthusiastic – or fanatical, depending on your viewpoint – backyard cooks use their outdoor cookers throughout the year, regardless of the weather.
The Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association reports that nearly 60 percent of charcoal grill owners and 69 percent of gas grill owners in a recent survey cook out year-round— demonstrating that outdoor cooking is no longer limited to the warmer months. But grilling and cooking barbecue during the winter does require a bit of extra preparation and effort.
First of all, the cook needs to be properly attired for frosty weather: insulated socks (or battery operated hunter's socks), thermal boots, a warm jacket or insulated parka, and a knit cap make cold-weather cooking almost bearable. Having a propane-fired patio heater, a fire pit or a well-stoked chiminea in the cooking area also helps to moderate very cold temperatures.
Having the right equipment also helps. Ceramic cookers such as the Grill Dome, Big Green Egg or Kamado Joe have thick walls that retain heat much better than a kettle-style steel charcoal grill. If you're using a bullet- or kettle-style smoker, fashion an insulating blanket from foil-backed insulation available at your local home center or a welding blanket to wrap the smoker. Just be sure to leave the vents uncovered.
Here are some tips for cooking in less than ideal weather:
• The smoker will take longer to preheat when the temperature drops below 45 degrees F. Figure at least 30 minutes for a charcoal grill or smoker and 20 minutes for a gas-fired grill to come up to cooking temperature.
• Adjust the cooking time to compensate for lower temperatures. Figure another five to 10 minutes for every five degrees below 45 degrees F. ambient temperature.
• Add another 15 minutes of cooking time every time you open the lid to add more fuel or wood.
• Shield the smoker from the wind but don't use it in an enclosed area or under a porch overhang. Wind has a greater impact on cold-weather cooking than actual ambient temperature. The set-up I use works well year-round, as my three primary cookers – a Grill Dome ceramic cooker, a Weber Smoky Mountain bullet smoker and a Broilmaster P3 propane grill – are on a brick patio right outside of the kitchen door. The patio is surrounded by a four-foot hedge on two sides and the kitchen and an enclosed sunroom on the other sides. Although the hedge loses its greenery during the winter, it still provides some protection from the wind.
• If you're using a drip pan for smoking, fill it with boiling water. The hot water will help raise the grill temperature and help stabilize the temperature. Put the empty drip pan in the smoker and then add water from a tea kettle instead of trying to carry a tray filled with hot water to the cooker.
• Placing ceramic fire bricks in the cooker will add thermal mass and help compensate for the loss of heat when the cover is opened.
• The best foods to cook during the winter months are ones that don't need much attention: roasts, whole chickens, ribs, pork shoulders and briskets. That being said, use all of the available cooking area by cooking side dishes along with the entrée. After all, you've already fired up the grill; you might as well use all of it!
• Make sure the meat is properly cooked. Use a remote-reading thermometer so you don't need to stay out in the cold. If you have an Android or iPhone, iDevices makes the Bluetooth-compatible iGrill, which will send temperatures to your phone up to 200 feet away. Maverick Housewares offers the ET-732 remote-reading thermometer that will transmit to a remote receiver up to 300 feet away. Both units are battery operated so in very cold weather the batteries will have a shorter life.
• As the meat gets closer to being ready, use an instant-read thermometer (I recommend the Thermapen) to check the temperature. Poultry should be cooked until the thigh meat is 165 degrees F. and beef to a minimum of 125 degrees F. for rare or 145 degrees F. for medium. (Briskets and pork shoulders need to be cooked to a higher temperature to make the meat tender.) Pork roasts should be cooked to 145 degrees F. (Remember, the internal temperature will rise five to ten degrees as the meat rests before carving.)

Religious Holidays Policy at Dickinson
This online policy content is provided as a resource for the students, faculty, staff, and administration of Dickinson College. Content is subject to change. Please contact the appropriate person or office to obtain the most current information.
Dickinson College is fully committed to tolerance, understanding and support of the diverse faith traditions to which members of our community adhere. While classes will still be held, the administration and faculty will make every effort not to schedule College-wide and/or public events on major religious holidays. The traditional calendar already recognizes many major Christian holidays. In addition, the college calendar will also include Rosh HaShanah, Yom Kippur, the first evening of Passover, Eid-al-Fitr, and Eid-al-Adha. Notations will be made on the CASE calendar to designate the official beginning and ending times of these and other major religions' holidays. Students of any faith who observe these religious holidays or others that typically restrict their participation in regular activities may also be excused from academic, athletic, and other responsibilities on those days by following the guidelines in the policy below.
The college (offices and departments) will not schedule public and/or college-wide events on the following major religious holidays: Rosh HaShanah, Yom Kippur, the first night of Passover, Eid-al-Fitr, and Eid-al-Adha. The college calendar already excludes events on Christmas and Easter. Students must make arrangements with their faculty members in advance when an exam (including quizzes), papers, and other work are due on major religious holidays. A student will not be penalized for missing class or not handing in work on a holiday due to religious observance. However, students must notify faculty, in writing, reasonably in advance of the holiday if they will be absent from class for religious observance. Likewise, students who observe these holidays must notify, in advance, their coaches should they have athletic practice or scheduled competition at a time of religious observance. While faculty and staff are expected to be sensitive to the needs of observant students of all faiths when planning lectures, field trips, work and other curricular activity that might conflict with observance of a major religious holiday, any course work or other obligation that is missed remains the student's responsibility to complete. Faculty members are expected to make reasonable arrangements for students to complete missed work; students must make up the work.
If you have any questions, please feel free to visit Community Service and Religious Life's website, or call the office at 717-245-1477.

Daughter of former Prime Minister Bob Hawke and Ambassador for Alzheimer's Australia, Sue Pieters-Hawke, launched a booklet yesterday (Tuesday, 26 June 2012) at South Australia's Resthaven on the perspectives of dementia.
Titled, 'The Good, the Bad, and the Brilliant', this project was funded by the federal government through the Dementia Community Support Grants Program and relates the personal experiences of being a carer of or as a person living with dementia.
The aim of the publication is to provide hope, inspiration and advice. The themes explored include the importance of home, of families and friends, and of remaining engaged with life.
As the title suggests, the stories explore the good, the bad and the brilliant events that occur while living life with dementia, or sharing life with someone who has dementia.
"I, like so many others, have personal experiences with dementia. We hope the booklet will also help raise awareness about dementia and reduce the stigma of people who live with it," Resthaven chief executive, Richard Hearn, said.
Resthaven has 10 residential care locations and provides in home care and support services for older people living at home throughout metropolitan Adelaide, the Adelaide Hills, Murraylands, Riverland and the Limestone Coast.
"We are delighted that both Sue Pieters-Hawke and the CEO of Alzheimer's Australia, Glenn Rees, have agreed to speak at the launch, along with Kate Swaffer, an activist and advocate who lives with dementia," he added.
According to Mr Hearn, most people understand dementia is a "cause close to Ms Pieters-Hawke's heart", as her mother, Hazel Hawke, lives with Alzheimer's disease.
Ms Pieters-Hawke also has a personal connection to Resthaven as her grandfather, the Rev Clem Hawke, resided at Resthaven Malvern in the mid-1980s, during the time Bob Hawke was Prime Minister.
She said: "Like so many Australians, I have been closely touched by dementia, and as I read the personal stories in The Good, The Bad and The Brilliant, there were many things that resonated with my experience."
Mr Rees, who has been Alzheimer's Australia chief executive for more than a decade, said supporting people with dementia and their families and encouraging them to tell their stories was perhaps the "most effective way" of achieving community understanding for people with dementia.
The Good, The Bad and The Brilliant is available for free download from the Resthaven website.

Pinoy marine biologists lauded by leading coral scientist
A leading Australian scientist on coral ecosystems sees the next generation of Filipino marine biologists as the potential saviors of coral reefs.
Professor Terry Hughes said the Philippine marine biology students can reverse the threats faced by coral reefs, the effects of which impact on all life on Earth.
"From the rich exchange between scientists in Australia and Filipino marine biologists for the last three decades, I believe that (Philippine) youth has what it takes to reverse current trends and contribute greatly towards better understanding of coral ecosystems and their impacts not just on marine life, but on the lives and livelihoods of Filipinos and other peoples," Hughes said.
He said the Philippines has very rich marine biodiversity that is intrinsically linked to all other marine ecosystems in the Pacific and elsewhere.
But he said that with the threats facing such ecosystems now, Filipino marine biology students have their work cut out for them even before they leave school.
"I look forward to increased cooperation between Australian and Filipino scientists and researchers, especially since we share a lot of concerns on the coral front, and especially since the next generation of Filipino scientists hold so much promise," he said.
Three major threats
According to Hughes, climate change, overfishing and land runoff are the three major threats to the existence of coral reefs around the world.
He said the protection of coral reefs is imperative as it directly impacts the lives and livelihoods of millions who depend on corals and marine resources for a living, including from fishing and tourism.
Professor Hughes concluded his visit to the Philippines on World Oceans Day, June 8, with a lecture at the Siliman University as part of the "Scientists in Schools" initiative of the Australian Embassy in Manila.
For his part, Australian Ambassador Bill Tweddell said the science program is in support of the Philippine government's priorities of raising appreciation for science education and of research as a path to sustainable development.
The lecture caps off several days of talks that also included the University of the Philippines Marine Sciences Institute and the Philippine Science High School.
Visit to the Philippines
Hughes' visit kicked off June 5, with scientific presentations at the Coral Triangle Initiative (CTI) Forum.
There, he presented his latest research, as well as the state of the world's coral ecosystems, including impacts from climate change.
The CTI is a multilateral partnership between six governments (the CT6) 1 to safeguard the region's marine and coastal biological resources.
For this year, the theme of World Oceans Day is "Youth: the Next Wave for Change." — TJD, GMA News

Re: Battlefield 3 News/Info
live ustream starting at 1:15 PST with DICE.
Battlefield 3 will also ship with a co-op mode, this time allowing two players to team up on 10 unique maps.
The Soldier now doubles up as a medic, packing medkits and a defibrillator, as well as an M16 Assault Rifle with Combat Optical Gunsight.
The Engineer has access to a repair tool for fixing vehicles as well as a SMAW Anti-Tank Rocket Launcher for blowing them up, in addition to an M4 Carbine with flashlight.
The Support Soldier is able to dish out valuable ammunition, while also laying down suppressing fire using the M249 Light Machine Gun with bipod and M145 Optics. Finally, the Recon class has access to C4 Explosive Packs and the MK11 Sniper Rifle with 6x scope. All classes also have access to an M9 Pistol, hand grenade and knife by default, and can be fully customised as you gain experience playing the multiplayer game.
The engineer's flashlight may make him more visible to the enemy, but it also allows him to light up dark areas such the Metro tunnel, as well as startle anyone he shines it at, again through subtle visual effects.(yes, this is MP)
In Battlefield 3, if the enemy fires a rocket into the back of a tank, only the guy in the rear will be killed, rather than everyone in the tank.
A vehicle can now be incapacitated, but the gunners will still be able to fire out when it's at low health; it just won't be able to move anywhere until an engineer repairs it.
Dice will also introduce new rewards for players who act sneakily when playing. You will be able to customise your own dogtags and then steal other people's by performing a stealthy knife kill in multiplayer, for instance.

OCT. 4 ELECTION FORUM: Candidates and Pool Proposition
Court favors Skagway in borough appeal
LBC wrongly imposed size restriction
Alaska Superior Court Judge Patricia Collins issued a ruling Sept. 20 stating that the states Local Boundary Commission wrongly denied Skagways petition for borough formation in August 2002 by improperly imposing a size requirement.
In a 22-page ruling that arrived at City Hall Wednesday, Collins wrote that the Local Boundary Commission did not have regulations in place to make a ruling based on the size of the area.
The court said the LBC imposed its own fundamental principles by denying the petition, in effect making 443.5 square miles the standard, slightly more than Skagways area. In doing so, the LBC denied the city and any other petitioner due process.
This new standard, if it is to be adopted, must be done according to law, following the public process provisions of the Administrative Procedures Act, the judge wrote.
The judge remanded the Skagway petition to the LBC for reconsideration, but will not require a new hearing unless the commission intends to apply new legal standards to its decision.
City officials were digesting the ruling at press time, but Mayor Tim Bourcy called it great news.
Size was one of the issues (in denying the petition), and they adopted policy about us for future borough decisions, which they should not have done, Bourcy said.
It will mean a lot at the statewide level, he continued. Its a pretty huge victory for us.
The city has been trying to form its own borough for years to avoid being incorporated into the larger Haines Borough in the future, as proposed in the states Model Borough Boundaries Plan. JB
Tourism director ready to walk
Buckwheat Donahues Heartbeat Trail begins Oct. 1
By JEFF BRADY
Tourism Director Buckwheat Donahue made his final reports to the Convention and Visitors Bureau and City Council last week and received well-wishes for his upcoming Heartbeat Trail walk and paddle.
Donahue leaves Skagway Saturday morning and will commence his walk in Miami, Fla. a week later on Oct. 1. Covering an average of 25 miles a day, the walk will take him through Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Brtish Columbia, and the Yukon.
If all goes well, after 5,475 miles of walking, hell stop at Johnsons Crossing on the Alaska Highway next May or early June, and switch to a canoe. From there hell paddle the length of the Teslin and Yukon Rivers with friends joining him on various stages over the summer emerging at Kotlik, Alaska, where he will trade the canoe for a sea kayak, and paddle around Norton Sound to Nome.
Then he flies to Whitehorse and will walk home to Skagway a year from now, via the Chilkoot Trail. Its all being done in an effort to raise money to equip the Skagway clinic with better heart-saving equipment.
Donahue started walking to improve his health after a heart episode about two years ago. The walks started around town, progressed into weekend Dyea Road treks, and then he walked from Skagway to Whitehorse, and on to Dawson City last winter. That gave him the idea to go much further, on a walk across the continent. It took some convincing, but last spring he received permission from his board and the city to give him a years leave of absence.
Donahue shows CVB members the shoe that got him to Dawson. Hell have many more pairs for his Miami-Nome trek. JB
Donahues quest has made the rounds of several regional publications, including an Alaska magazine story that leads off his website www.buckwheat.info. He also will be featured next month in USA Todays weekend magazine.
Be safe, said CVB chair Bruce Schindler at a board meeting last Friday. Im looking forward to keeping track.
Donahue will send e-mails every few days for the website, hosted by PR Services in Whitehorse. The News will highlight his progress in a box commencing next issue, and will catch up with him on the road in early November, and on the Yukon River next June.
Along the way, Donahue will give the Robert Service poetry shows he does for cruise ship audiences, charging his normal fee which will go to Skagways Dahl Memorial Clinic. Any extra donations will go to Hurricane Katrina victims or other worthy causes identified by organizers in 35-40 venues along the way, he said. All the time, he will be promoting Skagway and Alaska-Yukon, passing out Skagway DVDs as sales tools.
He has drawn corporate support from cruise lines RCCL and Holland America, as well as Tourism Yukon and Sport Yukon, but said the pre-walk fund-raising could have gone better.
Theres lots of competition out there for these kinds of dollars, he said, even in my own community.
Schindler said he hopes support will build along the walking route.
Donahue will look good. Most of his walking clothing and gear are being donated, including all the shoes he wants from New Balance, courtesy of a regional representative who was reading the Alaska Magazine story when Klothes Rush owner Duff Ray called.
Donahue told the rep. he had been walking in $60 a pair shoes. He talked me out of these and got me some fancier $150 ones, ordered to my width, he said.
He plans to replace the shoes every 400 miles. Otherwise hell carry all his clothes in a 35-pound backpack fitted with a hydration system and satellite radio.
Donahue said he will study various community events along the way and bring back some new ideas for Skagway. Hell pass on information to interim director Kristin Wilkinson, who has met with him and attended last weeks meeting.
Schindler said he wants to take advantage of her skills over the next year. Wilkinson starts Oct. 15 and will begin by helping the board complete its goals and objectives and signage plan.
Buckwheat, I feel we are sending you off right, Schindler said. Im jazzed.
Donahue thanked Schindler and the board for their good words - it means a lot.
If youd like to help send Buckwheat off as well, there is a gathering today at the Fish Company from 4-6 p.m.
UPDATE Photos from the party now posted on the Heartbeat Trail website: www.buckwheat.info
More than $13,300 and counting raised for Hurricane Katrina victims
The Community Benefit for Hurricane Katrina Relief raised an astounding $12,338 in just three hours, announced Mayor Tim Bourcy at last weeks City Council meeting.
The mayor thanked fellow members of the Council for being true multi-taskers by flipping burgers and serving food donated by local restaurants at the event, held on a beautiful night at Jewell Gardens on Sept. 8.
About 350 people attended, Bourcy said, and he read off a list of people and businesses (see letters) who contributed to making the event a success. A check is being sent to the Salvation Army.
I think its a tribute to this community and the way it steps up and volunteers, he said.
Magician Doug Anderson, who works Princess ships and overnights in Skagway regularly, shows Avi Vogel the Chinese ring trick at the Community Benefit for Katrina Relief. JB
In addition, the Red Onion last Sunday night raised $1,000 for the Bush Clinton Katrina Fund during its From Broadway to Bourbon Street feed and show. Several of the performers had family in New Orleans.
Emblem Club Katrina Relief cans are filling up around town as the summer visitor season draws to a close this Saturday. The News will have a report on the money raised from that fund-raiser next issue, in addition to a report on how one former Skagway resident escaped the hurricane, and why another resident is going down there next month to help.

Morgan Reed Pass sign goes up on 40th anniversary of road start
By JEFF BRADY
Klondike Road Relay runners and support crews passed an odd-looking sign near the border on Sept. 9. For those who noticed, it was a glimpse down memory lane and a tribute to a great Skagway man.
The sign stated Morgan Reed Pass and was an impromptu tribute put up by a man who fired up a bulldozer to start the highways construction almost 40 years ago to the day on the Canadian side.
John Watt was a Whitehorse City Council member in the early 1960s and had been pushing for the road to be completed to Skagway for several years. On Sept. 8, 1965, he called up the CBC and the editor of the Yukon News and told them to bring their tape recorders and cameras to Carcross.
Four miles south of town, Watt fired up his bulldozer and started knocking down trees on a route that friend Johnny Johns had scoped out. The illegal as hell move got good press, even down here in Skagway, where the Road to Whitehorse Committee donated $100 for Watts fuel.
Two local politicians, State Rep. Morgan Reed and Mayor Malcolm Moe, also came to Whitehorse to lobby. Despite opposition from the White Pass railroad, they pressed on with the support of the longshoremen and local businesses.
That was just a start. Reed worked the Alaska Legislature as the House Finance Chair, eventually getting funding for the roads construction in the 1970s. The South Klondike Highway was completed in September 1978.
Basically, it was a grass roots movement that got it going, Watt said on a visit to Skagway after he put up the signs one on each side of the border. Morgan worked on both sides of the border, he added.
John Watt pays tribute to the late Morgan Reed by erecting a sign at the summit on Sept. 9 to honor the Skagway legislator who pushed for highway funding. Donna Watt
I just thought it was the right thing to do, he said. Later we can get a bus load of bureaucrats to do it officially.
Watt has the support of Whitehorse Mayor Ernie Bourassa, and this week wrote a letter to the Skagway City Council asking that the highway pass be named for Reed, who died a decade ago.
Morgan Reed inspired us in Canada as well as you in the USA to keep working to make this road a reality, Watt wrote.
I placed a sign on the summit as a brief reminder of the 40th anniversary of the start of the building of the road. I took pictures and gave copies to Mrs. Reed and your newspaper. I think I did the right thing as a reminder of a brief moment in history and pay tribute to a great American.
A move to name the west White Pass after late railroad president Marvin Taylor fizzled a few years ago, but Reed, with his stronger connection to the highway, may have a better chance.
TEAM WORK Local students have been learning cold water survival skills this month in the Skagway River from instructors Colin Aiken and Dick Rice, contracted through the Physical Education Program grant. Above, Rice teaches Jayce Ellis to ride down a river on her back to keep her legs from hitting rocks. Once you are close to shore, then you can turn over and swim to safety. - Jeff Brady

Hot Home Theatre Reciver

About Me Audiophile, Movie Enthusiast, Tech Savvy
Best Uses
Comments about Pioneer VSX-23TXH:
Strongly recommend to anyone looking for a High End Home Theater Receiver. Easy to set up and great sound for low and high frequency. Can't find any flaws at the low price. Comparable receivers in the Denon, Yamaha, and Sherwood products are $300 to $500 more for same features and quality.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Today, the PolicyMic community is sincerely humbled. What started as an idea – to build a high-quality democratic news site for millennials – has grown into a thriving community. With that, one of our most thoughtful pundits, David Gray, has published an e-book, PolicyMic: A Voice for Millennials. Check it out on Amazon (support David and his blog The Political Zealot and buy a copy!).
David's book gives a bottoms-up, detailed explanation of what PolicyMic is and how it works. He includes our history, a detailed overview of the site mechanics, and even a step-by-step guide to becoming a coveted Pundit on the site (all the rookies should take note).
The book hits the nail on the head capturing how our platform works, "PolicyMic is unique in the way they engage their users to participate in political debates and rewards users by contributing insightful and meaningful commentary, while at the same time discouraging inflammatory comments and those which add nothing substantial to the discussion at hand."
David outlines our history, from an idea to a budding community, to an influential platform that hosts discussions with the presidential candidates. The book does an especially good job of honing into our main goal:
"PolicyMic promises to bring a larger voice to Millennials not only in the upcoming Presidential election, but for many more election cycles to come."
David is right; PolicyMic's vision is to empower millennials well beyond 2012. Furthermore, elections are important, but they are only the beginning. No matter who wins in November, millennials are facing unprecedented challenges and crises. I'm confident that as the smartest generation ever, if millennials continue to be pro-active about discussing problems and finding solutions, we will thrive. Our goal is to make getting informed and engaging in smart debate both really easy and really fun. We know millennials want to debate news, politics, and culture – they just want to do it an thoughtful, safe, and meaningful platform.
David's book, unofficially "The Guide to PolicyMic," serves as further motivation for our team to better serve our community each and everyday. David words reinforce that if we work hard and create the platform for you to have meaningful discussion, PolicyMic will have an impact.
Thank you – Chris

Mister Turkey Place Card
Activity DesignerAnnielille
1 Projects
We made place cards for Thanksgiving dinner. It was an excuse for us to do a pinecone search outdoors, recycle our egg carton, and work on our cutting, gluing, and writing skills. It is fun to do and there will be no confusion as to where to sit at the dinner table!
What You'll Need
- egg carton - One cell for each head. I suggest cardboard material instead of foam.
- pine cone
- foam sheets (3 for each place card) - orange, green, red
- washable tempera paint - squeze a dab of each paint onto a flat surface such as a paper plate
- googly eyes
- hot glue / hot glue gun
- scissors
- construction paper - preferably fall-colored paper
- markers
How We Did It
My four-year-old didn't like the yellow of the egg carton, so she painted the egg carton cell brown. Then she glued on the googly eyes. I cut the red foam into a shape of a caruncle (the reddish flesh that hangs on the turkey's neck), then she glued the red foam. We left the head to dry while we moved on to the next steps. While your kiddo's working on the next several steps, you can bring out the glue gun and glue the pine cone under the head. This will be Mister Turkey's body.
...then cut the traced hand print. This will give your little one practice cutting round and sharp edges.
Add glue to the bottom part of the hand print and glue one on top of the other. Make sure the prints overlap, so that you can see all three colors. I told my daughter to make sure that the green fingers show behind the orange fingers. This will later become Mister Turkey's tail and having more colors will make a very festive turkey!
Speaking of colors, the next step is to paint thumbprints on the handprints using red and yellow paint. Let this dry. While your kid is doing the next step, bring out the glue gun and glue Mister turkey's head to its tail (foam hand prints).
Since this is a place card, have your kid cut a square or rectangle shape on a construction paper. (My daughter proudly wrote her own name.) Stick the name card between the fingers of the foam hand print.

agreed unless you are 5 years old and high on chocolate ROFL gaping mouth, pounding heart, drooling saliva... mental asylum..you get the picture.
So, you're saying that, (quite possibly) the most important innovation in how we interact with digital medium in the last decade (and then some) is only useful to a tachycardic 5 year old hopped up on theobromine with an obvious neurological disorder who is also currently locked up in a mental facility?
Did they mentioned that demographic when they were awarded the $16M investment recently; perhaps they just skimmed over that part....
I don't know how I'm in the same Species as some of the people I come across.... Truly baffling.

"They (MPs) are infringing on the constitution's guidelines concerning salaries and benefits," he added.
Speaking to the Star, Mgoja said it is disappointing for MPs and the President to allocate themselves huge send-offs. "This is inhuman. Why do they not consider the poverty in Kenya? Wananchi cannot afford basic needs yet someone wants to award himself a huge

"Love and Liberation" in MayDay and Boneshaker
MayDay Books and Boneshaker Books both in Minneapolis, Minnesota are now carrying copies of "Love and Liberation: An Animal Liberation Front Story" that Sarat Colling and Anthony Nocella with the Institute for Critical Animal Studies (ICAS) wrote recently. Love and Liberation, published by independent social justice press Piraeus Books, is a short fiction book about a common romantic couple in Houston, Texas that join the nonviolent radical underground Animal Liberation Front, identified by the FBI as a top domestic terrorist threat in the United States. The book is an easy fun read great for book clubs, environmental fiction college courses, social justice and peace studies courses, and as a wonderful gift. Dr. Melanie Joy, author of Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows, writes, "'Love and Liberation' is a gripping tale of courage and compassion; it at once entertains and educates, inspires and informs. This short story manages to address a multitude of issues, all within a powerfully written narrative."

Rollins College and O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU) of Sonipat, Haryana, India signed a Memorandum of Understanding Monday to collaborate on promoting liberal arts and humanities education.
A delegation from the O.P. Jindal Global University visited Rollins College this week to meet with administrators and faculty regarding curriculum development for this collaborative degree program.

What Types of Obituaries Are Published in JMLA?
MLA Practice with Respect to Deceased Members and Staff: Policy and Procedures
By T. Mark Hodges, Associate Editor, Obituaries, JMLA, originally approved July 2002, updated June 2011 by Susan S. Starr, JMLA Editor
Over the years, JMLA has published obituaries of deceased members of MLA. Other persons deemed worthy of mention, because of their connection with the profession or the association, have also been included. Generally, these obituaries have been of a high standard and have been a fitting tribute to their subjects. The need exists, however, for written policies and procedures, hence this statement.
Part 1: General Policy
The Need for Obituaries
No profession really merits that title unless it has a history and one that is well documented with facts and figures, dates and data. Among the items in any organization's history is documentation of the accomplishments, attainments, service record, discoveries, implementations, initiatives, and the like of its members, practitioners, and staff. Paramount are the obituaries following death.
Types of Obituaries
Obituaries are of two forms:
- a simple death notice or announcement with name, dates, place, and most recent position of the deceased, plus a few sentences about him or her (Type 1)
- a death notice that combines the above with a more complete biography (Type 2)
The latter kind, appearing in the months after death, is the defining statement of a person's birth and background, education and training, experience and accomplishments, and his or her influences on others and on the profession.
Such an obituary also affords the opportunity for an assessment of an individual's special worth and contributions
- to the institution(s) he or she served
- to the profession and its professional organization(s)
- to society
and for
- personal reminiscences
- a character study
It is with the latter kind of obituary that this guide is primarily concerned. Firstly, however, MLA's policy regarding deceased members in general.
Obituaries and MLA
The association aims to record and publicize the deaths of all its current members and staff, whenever or however these deaths are brought to its attention of MLA Membership Services (see more below on this and on former members and certain nonmembers). To ensure that this is done properly and systematically and to see to it that, as far as possible, no one is overlooked, the JMLA editor has appointed an officer to be in charge, with the title of obituaries editor of the JMLA, and this standard policy and procedures statement has been posted on MLANET. It provides that:
- every recently deceased MLA member or staff member (past or present) qualifies for a Type 1 obituary, which will appear in the MLA News
- selected members and staff members (and certain others) qualify for a Type 2 obituary, which will appear in the JMLA
Type 1 Obituaries
MLA will attempt to announce the deaths of all current and former members and staff, and its Membership Services will notify the MLA News editor whenever it receives word of such deaths, either directly or indirectly.
Periodically, the editor of the MLA News will insert a notice reminding the membership to notify MLA Membership Services of the deaths of members (and not to assume that someone else will do this); better for MLA Membership Services to receive duplicate notification than none at all.
The amount of detail in a death announcement in the MLA News is at the editor's discretion and subject to the space available. The deaths of former members and staff will be reported in the MLA News if they were members of MLA for ten years or more (though this may be varied for cause). The fact that a person has not maintained MLA membership in retirement or on transfer outside the profession does not preclude his or her death being noted, provided the above conditions are met.
The deaths of nonmembers might be noted if warranted, but sparingly. Examples include, but are not limited to
- benefactors of the association or the profession
- overseas health sciences librarians who are generally regarded as having international stature
- public officials (appointed or elected) whose actions have had an effect or bearing on health sciences information technology or librarianship
- spouses of members, if there is reason to believe it is of relevance or importance to an appreciable part the membership
Type 2 Obituaries
These will appear in a regular feature (or "department") of each issue of the JMLA. The purpose of this page is to recognize significant service, not to amplify what has already been announced in the MLA News. For this reason, inclusion shall require that the deceased person fall into one of these three groups.
Group I: member or staff member at time of death or former member or staff member with continuous membership or service of ten years or more prior to death
Group II: public officials (appointed or elected) and others, whose actions have had an extraordinary effect or bearing on health sciences information work or librarianship
Group III: health sciences librarians, not otherwise covered, who are generally recognized as having international stature.
For those in Group I, the deceased shall have served the association and the profession in a way that demonstrates dedication and commitment to MLA and has significant and lasting achievement in the field. Taken into account too will be the person's role in mentoring and the influence that he or she has had on others. Below are examples of such association and professional activity.
Tenure of a major elective or appointive office in MLA, such as:
- association liaison
- board member
- chapter or section leader
- committee chair
- JMLA editor
- MLA News editor
- parliamentarian
- president
Recipient of a major MLA award or honor, such as:
- Estelle Brodman Award for Academic Medical Librarian of the Year
- Lois Ann Colaianni Award for Excellence and Achievement in Hospital Librarianship
- Louise Darling Medal for Distinguished Achievement in Collection Development in the Health Sciences
- Janet Doe Lectureship
- Fellowship
- Honorary Members
- Joseph Leiter NLM/MLA Lectureship
- John P. McGovern Award Lectureship
- Marcia C. Noyes Award
- President's Award
- Thomson Reuters/Frank Bradway Rogers Information Advancement Award
- Carla J. Funk Governmental Relations Award
- T. Mark Hodges International Service Award
- Lucretia W. McClure Excellence in Education Award
- Michael E. DeBakey Library Services Outreach Award
- MLA Award for Distinguished Public Service

Other examples, though not limited to:

- public service
- service on institutional and external nonlibrary boards, committees, councils, juries, teams, task forces
- service in retirement
Part 2: Procedures
Whenever MLA Membership Services receives word of the death of a member or staff member, the facts will be sent to the MLA News and to the JMLA obituaries editor. Whenever the MLA News editor receives word of the death of a member or staff member, the facts will be sent to MLA Membership Services and to the JMLA obituaries editor. Whenever the JMLA editor receives word of the death of a member or staff member, the facts will be sent to MLA Membership Services, to the MLA News editor, and to the JMLA obituaries editor. Whenever the JMLA obituaries editor receives word of the death of a member or staff member, the facts will be sent to MLA Membership Services and to the MLA News editor. Whenever a member of MLA hears of the death of a member or staff member, the facts will be sent to MLA Membership Services, which will relay the word as above.
Action by MLA News Editor
The editor shall
- establish that publication of the death notice meets the criteria set forth above
- edit the notice to conform to house style and contain its length to the available space
- where possible, name the immediate or closest next-of-kin, partner or companion, and indicate if memorial donations have been designated
- publish the notice in the Personals columns of the next issue
If the editor of the MLA News ascertains that a Type 2 obituary will subsequently appear in the JMLA, this will be noted in the death announcement.
Action by JMLA Obituaries Editor
The obituaries editor shall:
- Decide, based on the criteria above and in consultation with the JMLA editor, whether a Type 2 obituary is warranted. If so, the obituaries editor shall
- Select a writer for the obituary, usually from among coworkers, family members, and colleagues. If no one can be located, the obituaries editor will write the obituary.
- Provide deadlines and length requirements to the obituary writer (400 to 1500 words). Â Every effort should be made to complete the writing of the obituary within six months of learning of a member or staff memberâs death.
- Edit the obituary as needed and send it to the JMLA editor.
- When notified by the publisher, review the page proofs, consulting with the author as needed, and alert the author that reprints may be ordered, at their expense.
Whereas MLA News publishes a death notice in the next available issue, obituaries are generally published in the JMLA 10 to 15 months after the JMLA obituaries editor is informed of a member or staff memberâs death. The longer timeframe reflects the more complex editing process as well as the JMLA's quarterly publication schedule.
Unsolicited Obituaries
From time to time, the JMLA may receive an unsolicited obituary from a member who feels that an obituary for a deceased member is warranted. The fact that such an obituary was not invited does not preclude its being considered for publication or its actual publication (though only contributions from MLA members or staff will be considered).
If the editor receives the uninvited obituary, he or she will refer it to the obituaries editor. If the latter receives it, he or she will inform the editor. In either case, the obituaries editor will weigh the unsolicited obituary against the criteria and requirements previously stated and submit his or her opinion to the JMLA editor, who will make the final decision. If unfavorable, or if an obituary is already in progress, the JMLA editor will notify the writer. If favorable, the obituaries editor will take over and act as is done for solicited obituaries.

It's already been revealed that BioShock definitely will not have multiplayer of any sort, but Ken Levine spoke with IGN to expound on why:
"We look at it this way: we play around with a ton of things. So much of it is experimental that you really have no idea.
"So, like everything, you try certain things, and the multiplayer, we got to a point where we said 'OK, this is the you-know-what or get off the pot moment.' and we decided to get off the pot because it wasn't there yet."
In the end, Levine commented that the team came up with extraordinary stuff but simply did not have the desired resources to fully complete the experiment, to make it up to par with the rest of the game.
"..we weren't going to ship something that was not consistent with the overall package."
Levine opted to not discuss what exactly the studio was creating for multiplayer, saying that they just might go back and revisit it. We can speculate on multiplayer DLC but honestly, I don't think even Irrational Games knows if they're going to plan out something like that.
For now you can vote on your choice of a reversible cover for the game instead, whiling away the time until BioShock Infinite's release on March 26, 2013 for the 360, PS3 and PC.

Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG) have the dominant operating systems in the smartphone business. That has left Microsoft (MSFT), Nokia (NOK) and Research in Motion (RIMM) fighting for the number three market slot.
Bloomberg Businessweek wrote that Microsoft's in a "frantic" race for third place. It has just 4% market share, and its closest hardware partner, Nokia, has 8.2% market share.
Meanwhile RIM's optimistic chief executive told a conference in September that the company has a "clear shot at being the number three platform on the market."
Who to believe? It's very likely neither will win. Wharton management professor David Hsu pointed out in August here that it's easy to find duopolies in the tech business – he cited Western Digital and Seagate (STX) for drives, Google and Bing (um, we guess) for search, Microsoft and Apple for operating systems.
Also, both companies are deeply troubled. Nokia has slightly less terrible revenue growth.
NOK Revenue Growth data by YCharts
RIM has better (but still negative) return on invested capital.

But since late August, when a federal court found that Samsung owed $1 billion in damages for copying some Apple features — and since late September, when RIM reported it shipped 400,000 more BlackBerrys than expected — investors have shown more faith in one than the other.
Maybe Prem Watsa, Warren Buffett of the North, is onto something.

I love hearing from creative fans who take a game and make it their own! The photo below comes from the Subity family, who, after hours of fun playing Zingo!, decided to personalize the game and create a family version called… SUBINGO! Here Caleb's dad Sam describes their creation…
I'm attaching a picture of my son, Caleb, with the "Subingo!" game, which is our twist on Zingo. After we'd played Zingo for hours, I realized that we could use the same format to teach our kids new words and concepts. So we came up with Subingo to help them learn the names of everyone in our large family.
I just put a family member's photo in each square and then printed and laminated the playing cards, then we printed sheets of everyone's photos to use as the tiles. Since we can't use the launcher with the paper tiles, we just put all the tiles in a pile upside down and then do a speed version where we all start flipping over tiles and try to fill up our cards first!
Have you ever customized a favorite game? I'd love to hear about it!

Monday And-1 links: Cavaliers to target Tony Allen this summer
May 6, 2013, 7:02 PM EDT
Here is our regular look around the NBA — links to stories worth reading and notes to check out (stuff that did not get its own post here at PBT) — done in bullet point form. Because bloggers love bullet points like Mario Batali loves orange clogs.
• The Cavaliers need to improve their defense next season — 26th in the NBA in points allowed per possession — and that has to include some roster changes. So they are already looking to target free agent Tony Allen of the Grizzlies. They are not alone. After these playoffs Allen is going to get a nice payday.
• Andray Blatche will be a free agent this summer after his best season as a pro. He hinted where he signs may be tied to playing time. I say the answer is who pays him the most.
• The Clippers are not going to rush any decision about Vinny Del Negro as coach. But I think we all know how this movie ends. And before you tell me how he turned the Clippers around, look at their record before Chris Paul arrived.
• Speaking of the Clippers, this feature by Ramona Shelburne on Blake Griffin is a must read. Especially for those of you who think he doesn't work on his game.
• The Grizzlies turned to Instragram to poke a little fun at Blake Griffin after the Clippers were eliminated from the playoffs.
• Nuggets GM Masai Ujiri confirmed the obvious: Denver would like to keep Andre Iguodala long term.
• Apparently the Suns search for a GM is down to two: Bucks assistant GM Jeff Weltman and Celtics assistant GM Ryan McDonough.
• Denver's Kenneth Faried won this year's J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award from the league for his work in the community off the court. It's well deserved.
• This is already on my reading list and it's not even written yet — Jonathan Abrams of Grantland (and the New York Times before that) has gotten a book deal to write "Boys Among Men: How a Generation of High Schoolers Chasing Their NBA Dreams Changed the Game and Themselves." It's the story of the guys who jumped from high school straight to the NBA, starting with Moses Malone. (Great trivia question, who was the last guy to do it? Amir Johnson.)
• LeBron James pitched in $1 million to build a new gym at his high school, St. Vincint-St. Mary.
• Vegas, baby. I am pumped as always for Summer League in Las Vegas, starting July 12. I will be at the Cox/Thomas & Mack center ready for the rookies.
• The Bucks John Henson will be in Vegas for Summer League, too.
• Nets GM Billy King says the team may sign swingman Bojan Bogdanovic out of the Europe for next season. That should solve everything.
• Speaking of Euro signings, don't be shocked if the Rockets ink Turkish forward Furkan Aldemir for next season.

Please stay Tony! I love that dude. Hell of a defender.
- erckle31 - May 6, 2013 at 7:42 PM
Tony Allen lives and breathes defense. By far one of the best perimeter defenders in the league. I'd take him on my team anyday.

john henson will kill in summer league this summer. book it.
also, does anyone hate the idea of blatche on the rockets ? or the celtics ? kg may actually waive his no trade clause upon the acquisition.

I don't understand why Hollins didn't put tony allen on Durant in the 4th quarter. I don't care if he is shorter. He would harass him and make his life difficult. Instead of durant just gettin open shots.
- sportsnut101 - May 7, 2013 at 12:26 AM
Trade billy king for anyone
Why would tony Allen go to cavs. He wants to play on a playoff team
He fits in Memphis perfectly.

Three-Meat Spaghetti Sauce Recipe
4.5 3
"I simmer this hearty sauce in large batches, freeze it and use it for spaghetti, lasagna, mostaccioli and pizza," writes Ellen Stringer of Fairmont, West Virginia. "I adapted the original recipe until I came up with the perfect sauce. I've received many compliments from friends and family. I simmer it in a large electric roaster instead of on the stovetop," she says.

- 1 pound bulk Italian sausage
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 3 cups water
- 2 cans (6 ounces each) tomato paste
- 2 jars (4-1/2 ounces each) sliced mushrooms, drained
- 1 cup chopped pepperoni
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- Hot cooked spaghetti and additional Parmesan cheese
- In a Dutch oven, cook the beef, sausage and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomatoes, water, tomato paste, mushrooms, pepperoni, cheese, Italian seasoning, sugar, garlic salt, parsley and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Serve desired amount with spaghetti and sprinkle with additional cheese. Cool remaining sauce. Freeze in serving-size portions in freezer containers. May be frozen for up to 3 months.
- To use frozen spaghetti sauce: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Place in a saucepan; heat through. Serve over spaghetti and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Yield: 11-1/2 cups.

"This is a delicious recipe. Very easy to prepare. I added fresh garlic. Only had sweet italian sausage on hand, and decided not to add the other meats to save calories. Due to the omitted ingredients, I only filled the empty 28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes halfway with water, and used one can of tomato paste. Someone said too much water with three cups, so I ended up using about 2. Threw in extra dried parsley, grated real parmesan that was on hand...this was excellent served with angel hair pasta!"
Reviewed Apr. 23, 2013
"3 Cups of water + Sugar = watery, gross, sweet spaghetti. That is NOT what spaghetti is supposed to taste like!"

Everton v Villa: Sylla backed to bring steel to central ground
Yacouba Sylla has been backed to bring much-needed "steel" to Villa's midfield after completing a deadline-day move from Clermont Foot.
Manager Paul Lambert insists Sylla is raring to go in claret and blue - and he has backed the French midfielder to adapt quickly to the rigours of the Barclays Premier League.
Lambert says the 22-year-old - who is eligible to make his debut against Everton on Saturday - will provide the "bite" in the central ground that his team have been lacking in recent weeks.
"He is a strong lad that we think might add a bit of bite in the middle of the pitch," said the Villa boss.
"We needed someone like that in there and hopefully he can adapt quickly.
"The lad will come in and give us something we don't have - a bit of steel there.
"He is someone who I think is raring to go and do it.
"As I say, he will give us something we haven't got in the middle."
Sylla, who was tracked by a host of clubs while playing in France's Ligue 2, has been labelled as a 'midfield destroyer'.
However, Lambert is reluctant to place unnecessary pressure on the Frenchman by comparing him to other players.
"I don't compare - it is an unfair judgement saying he is going to be like somebody," added Lambert.
"He will be his own player and his own man, which is all I want him to do - just be yourself, don't be anybody else."

Donations for SCMM 2015 are closed. Thank you.
Umang Foundation, as the name suggests, is here to bring hope and joy to the lives of underprivileged section of the society. Umang Foundation has been working extensively in the fields of education, tribal village upliftment, elderly home connect, technical growth of children and many more. Since 2008, a group of passionate volunteers have been trying to bring a positive change to the society. Till date, Umang has no employees and works on pure volunteerism. Various projects of Umang Foundation include Promote Education, Creative Hands (mega drawing competition), Umang Gurukul (classroom teaching program), Blood Donation Camps, Inspire-a-kid(educational and corporate tours for children, School outreach program(visit to schools)
"Promote Education ek kadam ujwal bhavishya ki aur" is an initiative where Umang Foundation tries to curtail the root cause of school drop-outs. When surveyed, it was found that major reason for school drop-outs in slum schools is the lack of stationery and notebooks. The children and their parents are unable to cope up with the regular demand of new notebooks, pens or any stationery material; due to which the child stops coming to school. Umang Foundation identified such school and students where the drop-out rate was high and started this initiative. As the years passed by, the drop-out rate reduced considerably. With the funds raised from Mumbai Marathon, Umang Foundation will provide a stationery kit to such needy children which will suffice them for a year. The cost of a stationery kit is Rs 300, which is less than 1 Rs a day for a year. Umang Foundation appeals to every individual to come forward and Umang Foundation has entered into the Limca Book of records twice, once in 2012 and now in - See more at: http://unitedwaymumbai.org/ngo44_umang_foundation.htm#sthash.eLaZoV24.dpuf once in 2012 and 2014
Umang Foundation has been successful in bringing down the number of drop outs which were witnessed due to non-availability of resources post its initiative Promote Education 'ek kadam ujwal bhavisya ki aur'. This has encouraged donors and resulted in the continued progressive distribution trend of Umang Foundation. In last 5 years of this project Team Umang has witnessed many students who were struggling to get new notebooks earlier but now they are happily and regularly coming to the school.
Umang Foundation would need at least 48 lacs to provide complete stationery kits to 16,000 less fortunate students in June 2013 with the New Academic Year.

KOSCIUSKO —Nash Street will be among the musical acts performing at the seventh annual Bluegrass and More Concert here this weekend.
The concert, presented by the Attala Historical Society, will be held on Saturday at 6 p.m. at the Oprah Winfrey Boys & Girls Club located at 500 Knox Road in Kosciusko.
 The concert features Ace Cannon, considered a musical genius and the greatest saxophone player who ever lived, nominated for a Grammy for recording of "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain," recorded 67 albums, 47 singles.  Â
He has been called the "Godfather of the Sax," traveling as far away as the Caribbean, where more than 23,000 people recently showed up for two sold-out shows.Â
He has made numerous appearances on Nashville Now, New Country, Charlie Daniel's Jam & Fan Fair; was inducted into Mississippi Musicians Hall of Fame and in 2009 received the Mississippi Legislative Award for his long career and contributions to the music industry.
Nash Street, winner of $100,000 at the 26th Annual Colgate Country Showdown, held at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, and the title of "Best New Act in Country Music," will alsobe featured also.  Â
Less than a year after the release of their last album, "Between Hope and Heartache," the members of Nash Street finds themselves busy delving even further into their New Acoustic Country genre to see what fresh and exciting sounds they might be able to discover. Â
Originally from Starkville, Nash Street recently relocated to Nashville, Tenn.  Along with their excitement and enthusiasm, the band brought the soulful melodies of Mississippi and the leisurely rhythm of small-town Southern life to Music City.Â
The influences of Delta Blues musicians, Elvis Presley, and Jimmy Rodgers are undeniable when listening to band's music.  However, Nash Street prides themselves on taking their rich musical influences of yesterday and blending them with their influences of today.  Groups and musicians such as Chris Thile, The Eagles, Little Big Town and Alison Krauss and Union Station have all had an impact on molding Nash Street and their unique sound.
Nash Street has had the good fortune to experience many firsts in their career.  As recently as June 2010, the band was able to film their first music video aboard the Delta Queen riverboat in Chattanooga, Tenn. The video was filmed to help promote their song "Mississippi Queen." The band consists of Daniel Hare on upright bass, sisters Hannah and Caroline Melby on fiddle and mandolin respectively, Ben Mathis on rhythm guitar, and Clay Lezon on lead guitar.
The Larry Wallace Band will feature the traditional sounds of bluegrass that have earned him the honor of appearing on the Grand Ole Opry, performing at the Country Music Hall of Fame, and touring for ten years with the famous Jimmy Martin, the "King" of bluegrass, and the Sunny Mountain Boys.  Larry Wallace was awarded the title of "State Banjo Champion" for seven years.
The admission charge $12 in advance and $15 at the door.  Children 10 years and under will be admitted free.  This is a non-smoking, non-alcohol event.  Food concessions will be available.
For additional information and tickets, call the Kosciusko Chamber of Commerce (662) 289-2981.
