Lana'i - Remnants of a Forest…
One of the smaller ecosystems on the Hawaiian Islands, at least in terms of acreage, was the middle elevation hard wood forest. Never very extensive, these forests were significantly impacted by clearance by the early Hawaiians for cultivation, and subsequently by colonists from Europe and North America for a variety of other developments.
An early assault (ca. 1675) on the forests of western Läna`i came at the hands of a kahuna named Kawelo. who maintained a fire on the height of land for several years as an offering to the gods to assure the fertility of local dogs and pigs. The amount of wood required by this effort is difficult to estimate but the results are obvious if one visits the site (Photos 1 and 2). This barren area is called Garden of the Gods, a name from Hawaiian mythology indicating the origin of the landscape. It seems more likely that it was the result of reckless human endeavor.
In the 19th century forests on Läna`i fell prey to early attempts at cattle ranching which inevitably resulted in widespread destruction of habitats. The importation of sheep, goats, and axis deer at various times during that time also contributed significantly to degradation of the natural scene. Much of the 20th century was occupied by pineapple cultivation with the last crop harvested in 1992. Läna`i now boasts two high-end resorts featuring designer golf courses. Today, agriculture on the island has been reduced to private gardens.
What little remains of the hardwood forests is being carefully nurtured by local citizens groups, including `Ike `Aina , of the Native Hawaiian Land Trust. The Kanepu`u Preserve, the largest of seven tracts set off for protection, consists of 368 acres. The smallest is 13 acres; the total area under protection amounts to 590 acres. I had the opportunity to visit the preserve in early 2009 to see several of the main species in their native habitat. The two principal species are Nestegis sandwicensis (Photo 3), the Hawaiian olive (olopua, Oleaceae); and Diospyros sandwicensis (Photo 4), the persimmon (lama, Ebenaceae, ebony family). The fruit is very tasty!
Occurring in lower frequency are specimens of the island's own variety of `iliahi, the sandalwood, Santalum freycinetianum var. lanaiense (Photo 5).
Easily identified by its characteristic leaves with reddish-brown under-sides is `äla`a, Pouteria sandwicensis, a member of Sapotaceae (Photo 6).
An understory plant here is Psydrax (Canthium) odoratum, a member of Rubiaceae easily recognized in the field by its shiny leaves as seen in (Photo 7). The poetic nature of the Hawaiian language comes to the fore in the common name of this plant, alahe`e. The literal translation is aroma (ala) of octopus (he`e); the actual interpretation refers to the aroma of the flowers wafting through the air in a manner akin to the way in which an octopus moves through water.
A rare member of this forest is Gardenia brighamii (Photo 8), another member of Rubiaceae. This species, known as nänü in Hawaiian, occurs on other islands but rarely as more than a few individuals. The species has a flower whose sweet aroma would be familiar to readers from their own experience, and a characteristic fruit as illustrated in the photograph.
Also home on the island, and on most of the other islands, is the monotypic Reynoldsia sandwicensis, `ohe, a monotypic genus in Araliaceae (Photo 9). The individual in the photograph is surrounded by a thick growth of the invasive weed Schinus terebinthifolius, a member of Anacardiaceae known in the islands as Christmas Berry, the name arising from the shiny green leaves and bright red berries on mature trees which are popular as holiday decorations. The Schinus thicket is so dense that nothing can germinate under it thus preventing recruitment of `ohe seedlings.
Before leaving Läna`i, it may be of interest to meet two other native species, as well as a non-native tree species that was planted widely on the island. Endemic to the fog forest on the uppers slopes of Läna`i is Melicope (Pelea) munroi (alani, Rutaceae), whose name recognizes George Monroe who was responsible for getting the area set aside as a preserve. The shrub is seen in (Photo 10) with a close-up of its stem and young buds in (Photo 11 - inset, Photo 10 ).
Hedyotis fosbergii, manono in Hawaiian (Rubiaceae) (Photo 12), occurs on the upper slopes of Läna`i and on O`ahu. The specific epithet recognizes the many contributions made to Hawaiian botany by F. R. Fosberg.
Thousands of individuals of Cook Island pine, Araucaria columnaris (Photo 13), were planted on all of the high ridges on the island by George Monroe to aid in catching moisture from fog. The island lies in the rain shadow of the high mountains on Maui and consequently receives comparatively little moisture. Despite its elevation, Läna`i has no rain forest.

Something about my Dell's that I forgot: If they are too rich just off idle they surge. I am running a few tuning experiments. I think I am making ground. I am going to run it like I have it know for a while and see what I think. The jetting is all the same but I am now running 165 mains all because of airbox mods. Basically no airbox top and I shortened my velocity stacks by about three inches. It just barely effects my low rpm power versus killing it before the port work and higher CR. Now it is pulling a lot stronger at 8k rpm. The intake is noisy now! My valves definitely are not floating with those pushrods which are almost three times as heavy as the stock ones but that is what the big money pushrod guys are doing so I am giving it a try. Does it help? I don't know other than it has to be helping a least just a bit since those stock rods flex a lot. I do know that it is running good as it is! I am still running stock springs with no preload. I was thinking about preloading them just a bit but my stack height was already a bit short according to spec so I didn't. I don't think it is hurting me at all. In my experience, more spring pressure takes a lot of longevity out of the setup so I try to not go there.

Some Test 3D Photos Taken with the Aiptek I2 3D Camcorder
I've been playing with the Aiptek I2 3D camcorder while testing it in the last few days, and while it is far from being the best possible product for capturing 3D content. But considering the very affordable price of the Aiptek i2 available for less than $200 USDhttp://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=3...1&a=B003HGHR82 the results you get are actually quite good. It takes some effort on the user's end to make good pictures, but the resulting quality is decent enough for viewing even on a Full HD 3D screen. Sure having an additional light/flash and stabilization could've helped into getting better results, but enough talking, you better take a look at some of the test photos I've taken with the I2. The photos were taken in different light conditions, so you can observe how well the camera performs with good lighting, with no so good and even during in low light and dark conditions. I've uploaded the test 3D photos to the 3DVisionLive.com web portal, so you can directly view them trough the browser if you have 3D Vision.

In response to Hfxsoxnut's comment:
In response to joel49's comment:
And once you let the runner "walk into second base" after having set up the DP with the IBB, why then would you not again go for the IBB (or the "unintentional" IBB) to keep the DP in order, thereby letting your middle infielders move back? Assuming the initial IBB is to set up the DP, you simply have to go for the IBB again to set up the same situation. Total head scratcher.
That's not a safe assumption. Encarnacion has an OPS of .907, 30 HR and 89 RBI. Easily the Jays' best all-around hitter this year. You walk him for the same reason you walk David Ortiz.
Of course. But once he reached second, don't you then have to set up the DP again? Doesn't that make more sense than having your infield in?

Oligonucleotide SynthesisInformation on Oligonucleotide Synthesis. An oligonucleotide is a molecule usually composed of 25 or fewer nucleotides often used as a DNA synthesis primer, for example in PCR. Oligonucleotide Synthesis had a major impact on molecular biology. Easier Oligonucleotide Synthesis methods helped PCR technology to become widespread. Automated Oligonucleotide Synthesis instrumentation reduced the cost of oligonucleotide synthesis.

Provides both the novice and experienced user with an invaluable reference to a wide-range of real-time PCR technologies and applications and supplies detailed technical insights into the underlying principles, methods and practice of real-time PCR.
Oligonucleotide SynthesisOligonucleotide synthesis is a relatively simple process. Oligonucleotide synthesis is used to make primers crucial in PCR technology. Making a custom oligonucleotide is particularly useful because this will only bind to the region of DNA that is complementary to the custom oligonucleotide sequence. Custom oligonucleotide synthesis allows other sequences, such as restriction sites, to be added on to the desired oligonucleotide.
What Are Oligonucleotides?Oligonucleotides are short molecules (around 25 or fewer nucleotides) often used as DNA synthesis primers, for example in PCR.

If a fear of bed bugs is keeping you housebound, an iPhone app developer has the solution for you.
Launched about a week ago, Bed Bug Alert lets users search for and report bed bug outbreaks in their area.
On your way to a movie but worried that you might end up itchy? About to book a hotel room but afraid you'll come home with a suitcase full of the persistent pests?
For $1.99, you can download the application and search any location in the country to see if anyone has reported an infestation or search the directory to find outbreaks near any place you plan to go.
Search New York City, for example, and you'll start scratching at just the sight of all the reported outbreaks that appear on the map.
Adam Kotkin, CEO of Apps Genius Corporation, the company behind the app, said he lives in New York and launched the application after hearing of all the bed bug-infested movie theatres, hotels and point of interest around the city.
In the past few months, the prestigious Waldorf Astoria Hotel, the iconic Bloomingdales and multiple movie theaters and retail stores have been accused of bed bug blitzes.
"We're in a pandemic right now. I think we're beyond epidemic at this point," he quipped. "And I was freaked out, for lack of a better word, going to movies, going to public places where you sit in other people's seats, taking public transportation."
When he realized that there wasn't one central database of bed bug outbreaks mentioned in news stories, reported to the health department or listed elsewhere, he decided to create one.
"I thought there was no common place for someone on the go to know what's been reported around them and, unfortunately, when you look at Manhattan, they're almost everywhere," he said.
He said his staff culls infestation reports from a variety of sources around the country and combines them with user-submitted reports to provide users with a geo-tagged database of bed bug outbreaks. s
Users can look at the top 10 cities with bed bug problems or search for reports in any part of the country. Kotkin said his staff tries to verify the legitimacy of user-based reports and removes reports if they are inaccurate.
In the past week, the application has been downloaded a few thousand times, and Kotkin said that even he has been surprised by the thousands of reports from bed bug victims.
"People don't realize how bad it is," he said. "I think it's making users more aware."
"Bed Bug Alert" is just the latest iPhone and iPod Touch application to hit Apple's App store.

STME expands presence through further investment in Egyptian market
STME, a Middle East storage enterprise, announced that it has recently increased its investment in the Egyptian market by establishing new offices to service both clients and partners in the growing market, reported a press release.
From its new facilities in Cairo, STME will service existing enterprise storage clients including Telecom Egypt, Click Vodafone, Mobinil, Commercial International Bank, EgyptAir, Manufacturing Commercial Vehicles (MCV) and Coca Cola, as well as the National Bank of Egypt.
In a two-year period, STME has more than doubled its sales in Egypt, with revenues for 2001 expected to increase by 50 percent over the previous year. Since the storage leader entered the Egyptian market in 1998, the number of STME staff in Egypt has grown by more than 400 percent.
Objectives for 2002 include widening STME's sales channel in Egypt, as well as strengthening alliances with consulting and implementation partners in the country. STME anticipates at least 20 percent growth in Egypt during 2002, a significant increase given the global economic slowdown. — (menareport.com)

This book summarizes the gathering of information on and the growing understanding of M33 from the 1920s, when Hubble first determined its true nature, to the 21st century, when the Hubble Telescope probed deeply into its many secrets. With its regular symmetrical spiral structure, and its being not tilted too much and near enough to allow detailed studies of its stars, M33 is well-suited for the study of a typical spiral galaxy. In this work, Paul Hodge places current research on M33 (and similar galaxies) in both historical and global perspectives. The book is written in a language accessible for specialists and non-specialists, for professional and amateur astronomers, for scientists and the curious public and, most importantly, for students.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Penn State played its final game six weeks ago, but its biggest win came Thursday -- with the news that Bill O'Brien would return as head coach of the Nittany Lions.
Sanctions couldn't defeat this program. But an O'Brien departure almost certainly would have, resulting in this program wheezing through its final breaths on life support. The class of 2013? A majority likely would have defected. Players free to transfer without penalty? Unprecedented chaos.
Maybe this was all a chess move in the big business of college football, simply a plan to garner raises and more control. Maybe not. Whatever the case, O'Brien chose Penn State -- and this period of confusion and panic needs to be put to rest for several years.
O'Brien reportedly will see his salary increase more than 50 percent, from $2.3 million to $3.6 million. His staff also likely will see raises, and some structural changes are bound to take place. A coach can't ask -- and receive -- all that and then go fishing for NFL jobs one season later.
Fan sentiment is only so flexible. It appeared O'Brien might have lost a few Thursday, interviewing with Cleveland and Philadelphia this week despite saying on Nov. 27, "I plan on being the head football coach at Penn State [in 2013]."
He acted quickly enough Thursday, when that news broke, to snuff out any apparent sense of betrayal. The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported about 5 p.m. that he interviewed with the Browns; about five hours later, he decided to stick with Happy Valley.
It might have just been a few hours, but O'Brien can't put the fan base and the university through this again every offseason, lest it affect recruiting and player morale. (Tweeted PSU commit DaeSean Hamilton: "I'm gonna be highly upset if I have to start this allll over again.") The university stepped up to meet his demands, and now O'Brien must play out his original contract.
A move otherwise might not result in the death of this program, since those lax transfer rules will end in August, but it would surely destroy his reputation should he leave just one season later.
O'Brien has espoused loyalty and perseverance to his players since he first arrived in Happy Valley. Now, after PSU met his demands, it's his turn.

Today I spent more than an hour trying to get Skype set up on my Linux box (Debian testing), but I couldn't make my microphone to work correctly. So I hear the other person talking, but they can't hear me. I am running KDE 4.3 and Skype 2.1 Beta. What do I need to do to get it working?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Super User is a question and answer site for computer enthusiasts and power users. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I've used audio with Skype and GNOME before. I'm suspecting you don't have the audio input set properly. Open options (ctrl+o) and go to sound devices, check the input there. Likely that's set to PulseAudio, Ideally KDE needs to use the same audio system.
It turned out that my microphone didn't work in any other application either. After some fiddling with mixer settings, I found out that the Capture switch was disabled and muted. After fixing this and setting Front Mic as the Input Source everything started working.
Its a bit of a shame that the default mixer settings are still not what the average user would expect.
Thanks for the hint @Nifle

Fantastic Four: Reviews
Anybody going to see that movie or have seen it? I want to see it only because it's a comic book movie but I know I will just criticize it the whole way through. I saw the fantasic four movie I wanted to see with the Incredibles (my all time fav cgi movie). Post reviews here please...I'd like to know if the movie is actually good or the commercials and trailers are an actual representation of how shitty it really is.

Saw FF today, I wasn't expecting much and was still disappointed.
Human Torch stole the show.Just felt like too much was borrowed from
other comic book movies, but executed poorly.
Jessica Alba is just too fine.
The Thing seemed a little rubbery.
Still glad they tried, cool to see the four in costume.

typical super hero movie, 2 thumbs down

The Mario Bros Movie of Super Hero movies.
Meaning, it's crap. A big budget let down.
July 27th, 2005 #5
I didn't think it was that bad, but it wasn't no Batman Begins. It kept me entertained for the majority of the movie. Doctor Doom was a little wimpy I thought.
Since I love "real" special effects I thought the Thing costume was outstanding. The amount of facial movement that was expressed through those layers of rubber were incredible. I'm glad they didn't go CGI with that costume.
Overall I'd give it a C+.

It was entertaining, but ultimately forgettable and pointless.

Skygazers in Scotland and as far south as Lancashire and Yorkshire could witness the spectacular aurora if conditions remain clear.
A series of huge explosions on the Sun has sent waves of supercharged gas 93 million miles towards the Earth.
When these gas waves reach the atmosphere they will react, creating an effect visible from much further south than normal.
Denmark, Germany and America all reported clear sightings of the Northern Lights on Tuesday.
David Gavine, the director of the British Astronomical Association's Aurora division, said the sightings in Denmark meant Britain had a greater chance of witnessing the lights.
They were significant because the country is on much the same geomagnetic latitude as the UK, which determines how far south the aurora is visible.
"So there's every chance, if the skies are clear that we might see something tonight," Mr Gavine added.
Dr Lucie Green of the Mullard Space Laboratory at University College London added: "It now looks like there were five eruptions on Sunday within a 20 hour period.
"We have seen the effects of the first of these. It depends how fast they travel, but if they are moving slowly, we could still see some effects on Thursday night.
"If you see aurora in England it's a very special event but in the north of Scotland it might be worth having a look."

|One Year after Newtown, Iowa Has Little to Show for Protecting Citizens Iowa Scores C- on Gun Safety
|News Releases - Civic News & Info
|Written by Cheryl R. Thomas
|Wednesday, 11 December 2013 13:26
Des Moines, Iowa―Nearly a year after Newtown, Iowa still ranks low among states' efforts to protect citizens against gun violence according to a new state analysis by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
Iowa received a C- and ranks sixteenth among states, in this year's, "2013 State Scorecard: Why Gun Laws Matter," produced by the organizations.
Iowa did not take up legislation to expand background checks. Policies like universal background checks on all guns not just hand guns can help to keep guns from falling into the wrong hands.
"When states act to pass stronger gun laws, those gun laws protect our citizens from gun violence and send a message to Congress that it is time to act. There is still work to be done in Iowa should be leading the way in creating a safer state we all deserve and our legislature can do more. We hope to see our legislators take action to keep us safe in the coming year," added Rev. Cheryl R. Thomas of Iowans for Gun Safety.
Gun reform measures, like expanding background checks to all gun sales, are effective and popular policies. Recent polls show 9 in 10 Americans support expanding background checks to online and gun show sales. This includes over 80% of gun owners and 74% of NRA members. 88% of Iowans supported background checks in a February poll.
The deadly shooting in Newtown prompted eight states to pass major gun reforms in 2013.
Five states passed new laws requiring background checks on all gun sales. In addition, four states approved provisions requiring owners to report lost or stolen firearms to police, while three states enacted laws aimed at strengthening record-keeping and background check requirement for ammunition sales.
The state scorecard ranks all 50 states by letter grades and on a 100-point system that is based on laws that can prevent gun violence and reduce firearm death and injury.
States received points for having effective laws in each policy area, with stronger laws receiving more points. States lost points for irresponsible measures that increase the likelihood of gun violence, such as laws that allow individuals to carry loaded, concealed weapons in public without a permit. Ultimately, every state was awarded a letter grade indicating the overall strength or weakness of its gun laws.
This collaborative report empowers advocates by putting the Law Center's in-depth research on America's gun laws into the hands of the extensive networks of the Brady Campaign and States United to Prevent Gun Violence, a coalition of 27 state groups, so they can continue to fight for effective gun policies in communities across the country.

Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence (www.bradycampaign.org)
The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence works to pass, enforce, and protect sensible laws and public policy that address gun violence at the federal and state level. We do this by engaging and activating the American public, electing officials who support common sense gun laws, and increasing public awareness of gun violence.
Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence (www.smartgunlaws.org)

Earnings for Optical Store Managers in the United States come in at around $17.35 per hour on average. Experience level is the biggest factor affecting pay for this group, followed by geography. While close to one-fifth report receiving no health benefits, the greater part do receive medical coverage, and over one-half have dental, as well. Most Optical Store Managers like their work and job satisfaction is high. The vast majority of Optical Store Managers (82 percent) who participated in the survey are women. The figures in this rundown are based on the results of PayScale's salary questionnaire.

The person who oversees the day-to-day operations of the brick and mortar locations where consumers purchase glasses and other protective eyewear is an optical store manager. This person is not only in charge of the way customer service for persons shopping for glasses and frames is performed. This manager also works to help create appointments for consumers, ensures accurate orders for laboratory technicians, and generally oversees a clean and customer-friendly retail showroom environment.Read More...
The optical store manager may be tasked with either preparing the sales day in opening duties or reconciling all transactions from the day. Many such operations use point of sale computer systems that are integrated with accounting software the manager will use to perform these duties. Many optical stores also have licensed optometrists on staff. The manager helps to create and maintain appointments for customers who need to see the optometrist. The optical store manager will then typically work with customers to help recommend lens and fashion options for eyeglasses and contact lenses. The manager then ensures that all work orders incorporate the customers' wishes and the prescription data from the optometrist.
An optical store manager normally will be a person with extensive experience at lower levels within optical retail outlet service. Some jurisdictions also require optician certification to hold this position, and that normally requires some amount of post-secondary education or training. Optical store managers normally work in a retail and lab environment long hours of the week.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience does not seem to be a strong driver of pay increase in this role. People who have worked for fewer than five years bring home $38K on average. Median compensation in the five-to-10 year group, however, is higher at approximately $41K. On average, Optical Store Managers make $47K following one to two decades on the job. More than 20 years of experience mean a somewhat bigger median paycheck of $48K, but it's not much more than what less experienced people make.

Same thing over here. It has been a very easy pregnancy!
Well, to answer your last question, yes, labor can happen all at once w/ no signs.
I've had lots of BH, but have for a while, so nothings "picking up" now, just staying the same.
No other signs for me, and I'll be 37 weeks tomorrow. So, while we are now "full term" it doesn't mean they're packing their bags yet.
Good luck :)
Mom to E, M and baby A born 11.21.08
i'm dialated 1 1/2 cm, but doctor told me thats normal for someone on their secod child at this late in the pregnancy. he said my cervix is VERY thick though, no thinning or softening. good thing i'm having a scheduled section on the 26th cause this one would prob be a week late like my DD

Yeah, unfortunately 37 weeks does not automatically qualify your LO for an eviction notice - it's more like a "if labor starts, no one's stopping it" milestone... Hang in there! I had my DS at 38 weeks 6 days and had NO indication labor was starting - just woke up in the wee hours w/ regular contractions...
DH Jer (8/04), C (9/07), I (12/08) L (10-9-10)
( . Y . ) ... third times the charm!
I'm right with you, I'm at 37wks and nothing!! He's head down, but still sitting high...I guess he's pretty comfy inside :)
I see my Dr tomorrow and we'll see, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
Crystal mommy to Maximus Nov'08, Gabriel Oct'10 & Elijah July'12
No sign of labor yet, and I don't expect any sign of labor for a while yet. I'm guessing she'll show up within a week of my due date so by that estimation I have another 2-4 weeks to go. I'm not letting myself get too anxious about things just yet!
Mom to Cole 7 and Finn 4 and Mila 8/30/12
I am 37 weeks and 3 days and I am having BHs all the time it seems. But only when I am active. If I lay down and relax they seem to stop. I went to the DR today and she said I still wasn't dialated yet or even effaced so I think I still have quite a while left. So I don't think real labor is in my very near future. I will probably end up going past my edd. I hope it is soon though!!
Baby William EDD 12-6-08
I'm 38 weeks today and the baby has dropped so low she's practically in my knees! I've been dilated to 3 for 2 weeks, lost my mucus plug before that and every other conceivable thing and yet...nothing. I work on my feet 8 hours a day and walk 9 blocks to get home from work every single freaking day and she still won't come out. I've tried evening primrose oil and tons of red raspberry leaf tea to no avail. Oh well. I guess she just likes it in there! She'll come out when she's good and ready
I am in the same boat. I went to doctor today with horrible pelvic pain but nothing. Not zip. I will be 37 weeks tomorrow and my cervix is completely closed, no mucus plug, nothing, but pain in my vajayjay. Anyway, they are supposed to do a csection on december 3. I have wrinkles from lack of sleep. This is my fourth child I, I thought it would be easier. Yes, i am whining, and complaining cause my downstairs hurts. ughhhhhh.
well im glad im not the only one! the doc hasnt checked me yet not till next week... maybe i will have some news then... im sure he will come when he is good and ready! he must like it in there it warm! lol

When Marleen Manuel Magnoni Alhadeff launched out of town after earning her associate degree from Walla Walla Community College in 1974, she hadn't an inkling she'd have a hand in making a musical into a four-time Tony Award winner.
Living in the Seattle area, she spent 30 years in interior design, mostly with her own business. She and husband Kenny Alhadeff also invested time and funds in a variety of theater productions, fostering new talent along the way.
One of their recent endeavors, the Broadway production "Memphis," garnered four coveted Tony awards. And speaking of fostering new talent, among its lead players is Chad Kimball, 32, who graduated from Roosevelt High School in Seattle.
"Not in a jillion years did I imagine I'd be this involved," she said in a recent interview. Yet she and Kenny consciously dug into the theater scene. "After our kids left for college, we wanted to keep our brains moving and hooked up with Sue Frost and Randy Adams."
The four are principals in Junkyard Dog Productions. "We invest in original pieces and create new, original work. Creating stars is the focus, rather than hiring stars. Broadway needs that element to stay in the mix."
They stumbled upon "Memphis," through Randy, who had it on stage in Palo Alto, Calif.
As lead producers, the Alhadeffs helped co-produce "Memphis," which on June 21 earned Best Musical; Best Book of a Musical, "Memphis," by Joe Dipietro; Best Original Score (for music and/or lyrics) Written For The Theater, Music: David Bryan, Lyrics: DiPietro and Bryan; and Best Orchestrations, Daryl Waters and Bryan.
"I had the pleasure of attending the Tony Award ceremony this year," e-mailed Janet Mueller, Marleen's sister-in-law. "'Memphis' ... is a fantastical play and deserved to win," she wrote. "This is a pretty amazing achievement," she said of Marleen's role in its success.
Seattle.bizjournals noted that Kenny and Marleen are longtime board members of Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre. They "have devoted themselves to the development of 'Memphis,' a musical that opened in Seattle (in January 2009) and is set to open at New York's famed Shubert Theater on Broadway on Oct. 19, 2009."
The Alhadeffs took an apartment in New York to ready the show for opening night and attend previews, seattle.bizjournals writer Patti Payne said. In Puget Sound BizTalk, Patti wrote that at the Tony Awards, the Alhadeffs "waved their Tony statue triumphantly overhead, to the roar of the crowd. The two are credited with incubating 'Memphis' here in Seattle and then co-producing it on Broadway.
Marleen and Kenny have supported many non-profit organizations and became executive producers for the 5th Avenue, which Marleen describes as a "kind of percolator theater."
Another former Walla Wallan (and 1978 DeSales Catholic School alumna) Bernadine "Bernie" Determan Griffin, has been deeply involved in the 5th Avenue, previously as development director and currently as managing director, Marleen said.
The Alhadeffs also invested as producers of such New York stage productions as "The Color Purple" and "Hairspray."
"Seattle is one of the leading theater cities in America, where they do pre-work before shows go to New York, such as "Shrek" and "The Wedding Singer," Marleen said.
Junkyard Dog looks "for money to invest in a product," she explained. "It took $12 million to produce ('Memphis'). We had a job ahead of us to raise the funds during this economic time. Everybody said it couldn't be done, that they didn't know us, that (we) didn't have any stars. All of that was true but we had a vision and a message that had value that needed to be heard."
"What's remarkable about ("Memphis") is that every single night there are standing ovations."
About the story it tells, Marleen said, "people can look at a part of Americana, understand our history, the creation of rock 'n' roll and bringing the music to blacks and whites through the radio. They can see how far we've come and how much farther we have to go.
"We kept pushing forward. It's surrealistic that we have this experience of the Tonys. We said, 'Oh if we could just get to Broadway.'" "Memphis" made it all the way to the premier Shubert Theatre on West 44th Street where more than 1,400 people can be seated. "The theater owners scoped out the show while it was in Seattle and they've had long runs of "A Chorus Line" and "Spamalot" play there," Marleen marveled. "There is very little rotation in houses like that."
"Junkyard Dog has a business model that is very specific to us. We've modified things from the Broadway standard, reexamined ourselves and we got there."
The Alhadeffs became lead producers in 2006, Marleen said. Previously, they gave funding for projects, but in lead producer posts, they raise funds for productions.
The daughter of Walla Wallan Jerry "Pepe" Manuel, 85, of Walla Walla and the late Lanore Hatley Manuel, Marleen graduated in 1972 from Walla Walla High School. She and some of her siblings took on their father's original last name, Magnoni to preserve their Italian roots. Many will remember Pepe, who is former longtime owner of Pizza Pete's which later became Pepe's Pizza.
While in Walla Walla, Marleen studied ballet and jazz with Patricia Hawkins through Patricians. Marleen then went to the University of Utah to study ballet, but shortly thereafter changed her major to design and worked toward a degree in that field for three years at the University of Washington. She then did residential and commercial interior design work and was involved in the remodel of Pepe's restaurant in Walla Walla. She had projects around the state and in the Seattle area and "worked from the ground up with architects." She and Kenny own the Majestic Bay Theater in the Ballard area of Seattle, which they had gutted and she remodeled.
Marleen is one of five kids: Larry Magnoni of Bothell, Wash., Jerry Magnoni of Olympia and Ron Manuel of Georgetown, Wash., and Christine Magnoni Crowley of Bainbridge, Island, Wash.
In her first job out of the UW, Marleen's boss thought she worked too much and set her up on a blind date with Kenny and 21/2 years later they married. The Alhadeffs have three kids between them, daughters Alison and Andrea Alhadeff; and son Erin Alhadeff; and two grandsons.
The couple celebrated three milestones in rapid succession this year: Alison's graduation from the UW at Husky stadium; a day later they were in New York for the Tony Award ceremony; and a week later, they helped fete the 5th Avenue Theatre's 30th anniversary.
Mathew Gregory Fazzari graduated cum laude from Gonzaga University in May 2010. He earned a bachelor's in mathematics, with minors in philosophy and music. Concurrently, as a four-year cadet in the nationally ranked Bulldog Battalion Reserve Officers Training Corps, he placed in the top 6 percent of all the nation's graduating U.S. Army cadets. BBROTC's criteria is based on academic and physical achievement and performance in leadership roles. At graduation he was commissioned a U.S. Army 2nd lieutenant. He has been assigned to the First Aviation Training Brigade at Fort Rucker in Enterprise, Ala. A 2005 graduate of DeSales High School, he is married to Tovah Fazzari. The couple has a son, Dominic. Mathew's parents are Greg and Susan Fazzari of Walla Walla. His siblings, Danielle, Luke and Shawn, also reside here.
In 1999, few people were aware of RCW 73.08.010, the statutory authority that provides for indigent veterans assistance programs, said Eleanor Buckey with the Walla Walla County Department of Human Services.
"Then one day a veteran in need of housing requested assistance. While housing was available, he was denied because he had a dog. This incident prompted the establishment of what is now the Veterans' Relief Fund," she said in a release.
The fund is a resource for indigent veterans and their families who are experiencing financial hardship. The main source of money for the fund is generated from Walla Walla County property tax levies and enhanced slightly by donations and fundraising.
A board of veterans from local branches of national veterans' service organizations or the veteran community at large made up the Veterans' Relief Advisory Committee board. The fund is administered by the county's Department of Human Services. DHS personnel and Walla Walla County commissioners provide fund oversight. The DRF provided assistance to 131 indigent veterans in 2009. In the first quarter of 2010, 36 veterans received assistance with food, lodging, transportation and/or medical care not covered elsewhere. The numbers refer to individual veterans, not the number of times they needed help or the number of services provided. "With more of our troops expected to return home to Walla Walla County from the war on terror, the need is expected to increase," Eleanor said.
Indigent veterans can access multiple support services through Helpline, 16 S. Colville St., or 529-3377, Monday-Friday between 9-11:45 a.m. and 1-3:45 p.m. After hours, information on these services is accessible through the officer in charge at the Walla Walla Police Department, 527-1960, or College Place Police department, 525-7773; or contact the Walla Walla County Crisis Response Unit, 524-2999, available 24 hours a day, seven days per week.
Kelly Jean Lambert Harri and James Edward Harri are settled into their Milton-Freewater home after honeymooning in Las Vegas and Italy.
They wed May 1, 2010, at First Christian Church in Milton-Freewater. The Rev. Steve Lyons officiated. A reception followed at the Walla Walla Elks Lodge where Swing Unlimited provided the Big Band sound for the 1940s-themed event, Kelly said.
The daughter of Edwin and Catherine Lambert of Waitsburg, Kelly graduated in 1997 from Waitsburg High School and attended Walla Walla Community College.
The son of Dr. Jim and Mary Harri of Walla Walla, James graduated in 1994 from DeSales High School; in 1999 with a major in agricultural systems and in 2002 with master's in agricultural economics from the University of Idaho. He is employed by McGregor Company in Adams, Ore.
In the past seven years, Barnyard Champs 4-H Club members have sewn more than 1,700 book bags for the Head Start/Early Childhood Education Assistance Program at Blue Ridge School. On June 2 this year the 4-H group delivered 242 of the bags to the children at Head Start and were greeted by many smiling faces, reported 4-Hers Sarah Jameson and Mary Neal.
Thirteen club members helped sew bags this year during group sewing sessions: Anthony Neal, Annie Ladderud, Chris Neal, Liz Wood, Kyle Jameson, Mary Neal, Sarah Jameson, Seth and Garred Guttromsen, Ashley Bennett, Evan Jameson, John Neal and Jerry Ladderud.
Head Start/ECEAP are family development programs that provide comprehensive education, health and social services to children ages 3-5 and their families. Head Start preschool is funded by the federal government and ECEAP is funded by Washington state.
"Barnyard Champs 4-H Club took on this community service project because we felt the need to help these children and we hope this act encourages others to do the same," Sarah and Mary said via e-mail. Barnyard Champs 4-H members, who range in grades from 1-12, also raise sheep and pigs to show and sell at the Walla Walla County Fair. Their leader is Ruth Ladderud.
Korean War veterans with service from 1950-1955 are encouraged to attend a recognition event Monday. College Place Veterans of Foreign War Post 466 is sponsoring the cake and ice cream activity at 6 p.m. at the College Place Fire Department, 625 S. College Ave.
What's vintage becomes new again at Fort Walla Walla Museum. "There's always something new to see, even if it's more than a century old," said Paul Franzmann, museum communications manager. The Collections & Exhibit Department, led by Manager Laura Schulz, installed a historic flag that once flew over the Museum's namesake U.S. Military Fort Walla Walla.
Acquisition of the flag comes with an unusual story, Paul said in a release. In a note some years ago, George Abdill, director of the Douglas County Museum in Roseburg, Ore., offered to return the flag to the community.
The note arrived with the flag, whad had been discovered inside a brown satchel.
"Horace Berg was a newspaper boy in Walla Walla and delivered papers to officers and men at the post. On one occasion (the soldiers) were changing the colors at the Fort and gave him the old flag; his widow finally donated it to the Douglas County Museum and we are returning it to you as a gift to the Walla Walla County Historical Society." The flag measures 7 feet by 15.5 feet and sports 38 stars.
"Given the number of stars, it is possible to determine when the flag might have flown to a period after Aug. 1, 1876, when Colorado was admitted to the Union as the 38th state," Paul noted. The country remained at that status until Nov. 2, 1889, when North Dakota was admitted, meaning that the flag likely flew over the Fort at some time between 1876 and 1889.
In rapid succession, others gaining statehood in 1889 include: South Dakota, 40th on Nov. 2; Montana, 41st on Nov. 8; and Washington, 42nd on Nov. 11.
There is a curiously asymmetrical layout to the flag's stars. Museum volunteer Shirl Phillips, who prepared the flag for display, observed that white material was placed on both sides of the flag, then sewn on by machine in star patterns. Excess material was trimmed to size. Even though the flag would be viewed from both sides when flying atop a flag pole, the side the Museum displays is, in a sense, the 'back' side. According to Phillips, the seams are turned over on the side facing viewers.
The flag hangs on a wall in the Museum's Fort Walla Walla military gallery in a display that showcases five headstones found on the Museum's grounds in March 2001. During the excavation of a utility trench near the Museum's pioneer settlement, a backhoe hit something large, heavy and hard.
Staff quickly notified Director James Payne, an experienced archaeologist, who determined that further exploration needed to be accomplished. A field crew he led unearthed the grave markers over the next weekend. Through research, it was learned the army ordered a 'cemetery realignment' in the early 1900s; the tombstones in the Museum's possession were the original markers discarded when standardized replacements were installed.
"We are so pleased to add the flag to our exhibit and share it with visitors," Laura said.
"This flag flew over the making of some important regional history. Soldiers at the Fort covered a pretty big territory they patrolled on horseback, were involved in several battles of the Indian wars, and served as the law when there was little else. I think it gives the display a certain dignity and offers people the opportunity to reflect on some issues of the past we still deal with today."
The Museum is at 755 Myra Road. Operating hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. daily. There is an admission fee.

Three lives lost, father grieves
Mrs. Edigiggia Shiavoni, 33, was fatally injured and her two-year-old son was instantly killed Sept. 21, 190, by being struck by a trolley car at the Delaware and Hudson crossing at Prospect Street, Glens Falls.
The woman had been to a nearby market and was returning home with the child walking beside her. At the tracks the engine went by and the woman, believing that there were no other cars, started across the tracks. The child was mangled beyond recognition and the mother died in Glens Falls Hospital, along with her six-month-old unborn baby.
The heartbroken father was restrained from attempting to take his own life and also that of the train conductor. A lawyer has been retained to bring an action for damages against the railroad company.
Trolley track claims victim
Clarence Bullis, 55, of Glens Falls, was killed Sept. 1, 1910 near Parker's Crossing, about two miles south of the village of Lake George, by being dragged beneath his wagon and crushed.
Nothing was known about the accident until the remains of the man were found Sept. 2 by the crew of the first northbound Hudson Valley Trolley car. It appears that he was going from Glens Falls to Assembly Point and somehow lost his bearings and drove on to the trolley track and his wagon slid over the roadbed. The horse was dragged with it and suffered a concussion of the spine.
Despondent man's suicide
Deeply depressed because his wife left him, Charles Carroll, 35, committed suicide Sept. 20, 1909 at his South Glens Falls home. He took a dose of Paris Green poison and expired in a few painful minutes. About a year ago he married a young woman in Rutland, Vt. and a short time later he took to drinking heavily and soon became a hopeless wreck.

The changes start Monday, April 28th, and include splitting one route into two.
More from a press release:
Route 41 will now be split into two Routes (41 East and 41 West). New service areas will be added as well to these routes to include the Fayetteville Industrial Park, Cliffs Apartments on Crossover, Washington County Operations and Tyson's Mexican Original Plant at Clydesdale Dr and S School Ave.
Due to construction and detour on E Huntsville Ave, the initial few weeks of the Route 41 East going to Cliffs Apartments will run counter-clockwise in order that buses can travel westbound unhindered in the construction zone. As soon as the construction is complete, the Route will run in its original intended direction.
The Route 47 will also be revised to now include service into the community of Johnson. The Route will also be making stops at the Walmart Supercenter on Mall Ave. The time schedule has also changed for better connections.
We have changed the Timed Stop from Fiesta Square to Colt Square on Roue 40 South.
More on their website.
