A celebration of the great flavors of France heralded the 19th Annual Jonsson Cancer Center Foundation's (JCCF) "TASTE FOR A CURE," Friday, April 25, 2014 at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Each year, exceptional wines from a designated area are paired with regional cuisine prepared by award-winning chefs to create what has been called "among the finest gourmet events of the year!" and consistently named in Bizbash Magazine's "Southern California's Top 100 Events" as well as a Top 10 ranking in "Food, Wine and Hospitality."
The evening honored Sony Pictures Television President Steve Mosko with the Gil Nickel Humanitarian Award, named in memory of JCCF supporter Gil Nickel, proprietor of Napa Valley's Far Niente, Nickel & Nickel and Dolce wineries, who lost a courageous battle against melanoma in 2003. Joe Cohen, Jon Holman, Larry Maguire, Gary Newman, Jay Sures and Dana Walden were Dinner Co-Chairs. More than $700,000 was raised for cancer research.
"Glee" star Lea Michele welcomed the more than 450 guests who had earlier savored the very best of French wines and delicacies. Fourteen of France's most prestigious wineries shared their premiere vintages at the pre-show gourmet food and wine tasting reception. Six regions of France: Loire Valley, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Rhone, Provence and Champagne were featured, showcasing vintages including: Château Beaulieu, Château de la Clapière, Château Paveil de Luze, Château Plince, Château Puynormond, Château Suduiraut, Domaine de Cristia, Domaine Drouhin Vaudon, Domaine du Vieux Lazaret, Domaine Georges Brunet, Domaine Reverdy-Ducroux, Jean-Claude Boisset, Joseph Drouhin and Lanson Champagne. Award-winning Napa Valley wineries and long-time event supporters Far Niente, Nickel & Nickel, Dolce and EnRoute served as honorary wine partners.
Beverly Wilshire Hotel's distinguished Executive Chef Gilles Arzur, a native of Brittany, led the list of award-winning chefs bringing their finely honed talents to the evening's gastronomic portion, featuring a palate of gourmet edibles from the delicate to the hearty. Highlights included: Royale Sea-Bream and Seafood Provencale; Artichoke and Celeriac Tartlets, Seared Duck Breast and Hazelnut Vinaigrette; Mussel Beignets in a spicy Lemon Sauce and St. Emillion Braised Eel Ragut with Spring Vegetables. Among those offering their signature selections in addition to Arzur were: Christian Andre Monchatre, Executive Chef, The Pacific Union Club, San Francisco; Pascal Frapech, Executive Chef and owner/founder of PF Culinary Services and Vittorio Lucariello, Executive Sous Chef, Beverly Wilshire Hotel.
Adding to the entertainment portion of the evening, "How I Met Your Mother's" Alyson Hannigan introduced actor/comedian Tom Papa whose stand-up routine was greeted with laughs and applause. A show-stopper was "Glee's" Darren Criss who belted out "Crazy Love" and "Let It Be." Criss then asked the audience if someone would donate to the cause to hear his "Glee" co-star Lea Michele perform a song with him. Co-Chair Dana Walden bid $5,000 to hear Darren and Lea sing "Somewhere Over The Rainbow."
Dinner Co-Chair, UTA Managing Director and Jonsson Cancer Center Foundation Vice-Chair Jay Sures poignantly related the story of his own father's valiant battle against Hodgkin's Lymphoma, one he lost eight years ago. Sures praised the work of the doctors and staff at UCLA for the support and care shown to his father. He went on to recognize Judith C. Gasson, Ph.D., Director, UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, lauding her as "a visionary leader who has overseen an all-star team of doctors, researchers and staff for nearly 20 years. These individuals devote their lives to turning the tide against cancer and they are seeing results."
"Community" co-star Joel McHale did the honors, introducing the man-of-the-evening, Sony Pictures Television President, Steve Mosko, recipient of the 2014 Gil Nickel Humanitarian Award. The late Gil Nickel's wife Beth and their nephew Erik Nickel joined in the applause welcoming Mosko to the stage. In accepting his award, Mosko detailed the devastating role that cancer had wrought in his own family.
A highlight of the evening was the always eagerly awaited live auction overseen by Jeff Tanenbaum. The one-of-a-kind lots drawing fierce bidding included: a "walk on" role in ABC-TV's "The Goldbergs;" a "Wines of France Instant Cellar," featuring a collection of 96 bottles of the fine French wines featured at the night's event; "The Robb Report 'Car of the Year' Exclusive Judging Experience," affording the winning bidder the opportunity to help select the 2015 Car of the Year while enjoying a two-night stay at Meadowood Napa Valley and a private tour and tasting at Far Niente and Nickel & Nickel wineries and, most eagerly anticipated… a "Wine-Lover's French Travel Package to Paris, Champagne and Burgundy" featuring luxurious stays in each of the three locales along with exclusive visits to Lanson, Boisset, Four Seasons George V Paris, a host of unique wineries and "Van Cleef & Arpels VIP Parisian Experience" including visits to the L'Ecole Van Cleef & Arpels and a private tour of Les Atelier Van Cleef & Arpels at their flagship Place Vendôme boutique.
Additional auction items are available online, including So You Think You Can Dance tickets, American Idol XIII Finale and After Party Passes, and a visit to the set of The Americans. Visit www.tasteforacure.com for complete details and bidding information.

|CMC outing. The winds were strong so we only got as far as the base of the couloir. I was injured on the walkout from camp - hit by a rock, sustained a torn quadricept. The Baxter Pass approach in the winter is not to be underestimated.

|Got fried heading up to Summit Meadows and wind blasted upon arriving at the summit of M.A. Deb and I found the original summit register (Prince Albert tobacco can.....dating back to 1968 with only 4 other entries. The last one being 1996). This "summit" appeared slightly higher (by a few feet) than the one to the north (100 yards away). Saw Bob Burd, Matthew Holliman and Hike Monkey coming back from summiting Diamond Peak. Good to see other SP members out in the backcountry.

Date Signed: Apr 12, 2004 10:26 PM
I had originally intended on heading to Diamond Peak for Easter, but the slushy snow conditions on Baxter Pass trail wore me out the previous morning and I was feeling a bit ill that night. Since Mt Mary Austin was just down the trail from that wonderful little camp, I decided to head up a pleasant looking couloir. Got a 0730 start on beautifully frozen snow, had no problems besides the occasional spot of unconsolidated snow past the halfway point of the couloir. Just about 3/4 way up, nearly in concert with the sounds of rockfall from the south, I let out a yelp as I plunged chest deep in crystalline blue snow. I took this as a bad omen, and being that I was solo on the wrong mountain I had briefed my family; I down-climbed to gather my nerves then glissaded back to the base.
Present day -
Summited Mt Mary Austin approx 1015 on Sunday via North Couloir, nicely consolidated with very little slough or rockfall - that all happened while we were enjoying the gale force winds on the summit. "E" Ticket ride glissading down!
We though we were alone but had the pleasure of spying a black bear, Bob, Matthew and Michael.

|Route Climbed: Traverse from Black Date Climbed: March 12, 2005
|I stood on top of Black at 2:30 feeling drained and just wanting to head back to camp. Unfortunately I camped below the start of the North Couloir, making it difficult to justify skipping Mary Austin on the way back. The traverse was straight forward and after dropping to ~12,500 slogged the rest of the way up talus/snow. Summited at 4:30 and watched the shadow of the Sierra creep across the valley. Was hoping to glissade the north couloir but it had firmed up too much to chance it, I was alone afterall. Got back to camp at 6:30, 12 hours after starting out on my Diamond-Black-Mary Austin traverse.

|Route Climbed: North Coulier Date Climbed: June 9th, 2004
|Took off from basecamp at 9900ft above the falls around 745am, a little later than expected. Temps stayed in the low 30s almost all day long. Climbed the North Coulier, spent 70% of the time on hard packed snow, climbed the last bit on crumbly class 2-3. Reached the summit in a little under 2 hours, then headed for Black Mt under snow flurries and cloudy skies. Was unable to find the summit reg, prob didn't look hard enough.

|Route Climbed: North Couloir Date Climbed: April 5, 2003
|Started out at 5:30am Saturday (April 5) from the Baxter Pass trailhead with overnight packs. First encountered snow at approx 7600' just by the Bighorn Sheep boundary sign. Thsi wooden sign is nailed down a leafless tree. All 3 stream crossings were passable. Got to camp around 11:30am or so....and by 12:30pm I started out climbing the north couloir. This snow chute is gentle enough (at about 30 to 35 degrees) to practice crampon work on. Lower down in the couloir, surface conditions were great for crampon work, however, up higher closer to the notch there was knee-deep snow. I plowed through this stuff and finally topped out on the notch. Then, I took my crampons off and headed southward on misleading/false summits. After about 1/2 hour up there, I finally managed to find the true south summit of Mount Mary Austin. You'll know when you reach the top when you see a green army-type rectangular metal register box. By the way, there currently is no pen or pencil to sign the summit log notebook. I reached the summit at the late hour of 3:45pm. After snapping a few pictures, I left the summit at 4:00pm. I came down via the north couloir and was back in camp at 5:15pm. Went to bed pretty much after sun down. During the night, winds picked up and by 7:00am Sunday (April 6) we had quite a bit of gusty winds. Broke camp and headed back down to the Baxter Pass trailhead. All in all, I enjoyed the north chute of Mt. Mary Austin. It's a nice snow climb in early season.

As a business operator, you want to know what your customers have to say about business operation and your products and services, in general. One way to know this is by reading customer testimonials on different sources such as social networking sites. You can also interact with your customers directly by sending them emails for feedback or you can also conduct a survey to determine what your customers think about your products and services. Most businesses invest just to determine what their customers have in mind in relation to their brand and this is because customers are the fuel of a business and what they have to say could make or break a company. Some of the reasons why companies optimize testimonials widget review include the following:
Determines business temperature
One of the best things about reading testimonials of your customers is that you get an idea how your business is doing apart from the amount of sales you are getting. While the amount of money that comes into your cash register is a determining factor of how your business is faring in the market, testimonials are the qualitative scale of your business. By knowing what your customers have to say, you will know the areas that need improvement including the areas that you need to continue doing as is it encouraged by your consumers. Utilize your customer feedback well. Use it to determine how you can serve your customers better and you can be sure to stay in the industry for the longest time.
Increases traffic
Another important reason why companies invest on getting feedback from their customers is that it can encourage other costumers to visit the site and see for themselves if the testimonial is really true. Your audiences may be on your website because they were just intrigued with the testimonials they saw on a social networking site but the fact that they made time to visit your website is a good sign that they could be interested with your brand. Grab the attention of your visitors through the positive reviews and testimonials on your website. This would not only increase web traffic, it could also increase your conversion rate and ultimately, your sales.
Free advertisement
Advertising a brand can be very expensive. Whether you have it on the radio, internet, billboard broadsheet or other means, you would spend a sizable amount just to make your brand a little closer to your target audiences. However, you can popularize your product without actually spending a lot. Advertise your brand through your customers. Encourage them to post testimonials on social networking sites like LinkedIn then have a service provider to collect these testimonials have them posted on your website through a widget. This way, the testimonials of your customers in other social networking sites would be available on your website and what's more, this amazing service is only for $10 a month! Not only it is cheap, it will add more value to the way you do business and interact with your target audiences.

Even better: Call It Spring's current collection is full of fabulous options for fall, including everything from two-toned oxfords to classic camel wedges to high-heeled loafers. (And don't even get us started about the sparkly flats and grunge-inspired lace-up boots!) There's so much to this collection that you simply must see, so be sure towatch our exclusive sneak peek video, in which our Creative Director, Katherine Power, walks us through some of the standout styles and how to wear them!
Sorvagur Oxfords ($39.99) in Black and White
Are you looking to jazz up your wardrobe? If so, you simply must check out these snazzy black-and-white wingtips. They'd be the perfect dressy counterpoint to a casual pair of cuffed jeans, or use them to add a hint of menswear-inspired style to an otherwise feminine look!
Mauer Wedges ($39.99) in Camel
Every woman should have a fabulous nude shoe in her wardrobe, so if you've yet to find the perfect pair, you should check out these patent leather wedges. With their peep-toe silhouette and comfortable platform, the shoes are a chic and timeless choice.
Vinti Pumps ($49.99) in Cognac
The high-heeled loafer is one of the key shoe styles to have on hand for fall, which is why buying this saddle brown pair is a no-brainer. Also available in black, these nouveau preppy heels look amazing with nubby socks and opaque tights, so be sure to pick up a pair today!
Esparaza Flats ($29.99) in Metallic Multi
One easy way to perk up your go-to basics is to add a little sparkle, which is why these simple-yet-festive flats are such a smart choice. The metallic hue is neutral enough to go with almost anything, from cropped skinny jeans to a chiffon maxi dress!
Hasak Booties ($49.99) in Cognac/Bronze
If you want to embrace fall's fondness for Southwestern-influenced prints, looking for a bohemian shoe, or simply want something cute and comfortable for the weekend, you'll love these moccasin booties! The fringed detail at the ankle is such a cute addition, as is the lace-up back!
Litrenta Boots ($69.99) in Brown
The '90s grunge look will always be near and dear to our hearts, so we were delighted to spot these lace-up, lug-sole boots in the Call It Spring collection. Perfect for pairing with cozy tights and feminine dresses, these double-buckle embellished boots are an excellent choice indeed!

|Waste management: a statewide issue
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Tuesday, 12 June 2007 08:43
Yesterday state officials told the Environmental Review Commission citizens and businesses need to help accommodate the state's growing need for safe solid waste disposal by recycling more.The information came out of an annual report on solid waste management and a review of recycling statewide. A projection given was that 9.9 million state residents will be producing 1.45 tons of waste per person by 2015. More than 25,000 tons of aluminum cans that could earn $30 million a year in the recycling market, and 1.2 million tons of paper, worth $50 million, are dumped each year.

On Tuesday,the Republican governor signed the"fetal pain" bill, outlawing abortion after 20 weeks, the point at which proponents of the bill say a human fetus feels pain. Opponents argue that premise is unproven.
The bill passed the House last Friday by a 60-32 vote, after winning a 30-17 approval in the Senate in February. It is the fourth in a series of measures passed in Bismarck this session in an ongoing challenge to the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade ruling of 1973, proclaiming abortion as a constitutional right and forbidding states from interfering with a woman's decision to terminate her pregnancy before viability, which the Court pegged at 24 weeks of gestation. Abortions may be performed at any time beyond that point, the Court held, when a woman's physical or psychological health or safety is endangered by the pregnancy.
The North Dakota legislators and governor have also passed and signed into law a bill that bans abortion after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, as early as the sixth week of pregnancy.They have also enacted a law banning abortions based on the discovery of fetal defects, such as Down syndrome, and a requirement that anyone performing abortions must be a licensed physician with hospital-admitting privileges.The measures take effect August 1. Abortion-rights advocates have called the laws unconstitutional and have expressed confidence they will win the legal battles they plan to wage against them.
Opponents claim that in addition to making a legal challenge to the Roe ruling, Dalrymple and his allies in the legislature are hoping the new restrictions will impede or possibly force the closing of the state's only abortion facility, the Red River Women's Clinic in Fargo. The Center for Reproductive Rights has said it is committed to challenging the fetal heartbeat bill on behalf of the clinic, the Associated Press reported. The New York-based group is representing the clinic for free in a trial that started Tuesday over a 2011 law banning the use of a medication that induces abortion. A judge has temporarily blocked enforcement of that law.

MASSENA - Mohawk tribal officials say congressional passage of the Violence Against Women Act is an important step in putting an end to the epidemic of violence against Native American women.
The act, which received House approval Thursday, provides support for organizations that serve victims of domestic violence and stiffens federal penalties for such crimes. The expanded act reauthorized by the House also grants tribal courts the power to prosecute non-Indians alleged to have committed crimes, such as sexual assault and domestic abuse. Many contend the lack of prosecuting power for non-Indian perpetrators of such crimes is to blame for the high rate of abuse and rape among Native women.
St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Chief Ron LaFrance Jr. commended federal lawmakers for passing the act, which he said was 500 years in the making, alluding to what he suggested was long history of sex crimes against Native women, beginning with European settlers.
Weve been following this for a long time. Were just glad that new measures in the (VAWA) give the tribal council new powers to prosecute the perpetrators of crimes against our women, Mr. LaFrance said.
This aspect of the bill was initially criticized by some congressional Republicans, who raised concerns that a non-Indian may tried unfairly on a reservation, because the jury may be composed primarily of Native Americans.
Passage of the VAWA bill was praised by Randi R. Barreiro, an Akwesasne resident and co-founder of Konon:kwe Council, an Akwesasne-based advocacy group committed to the empowerment of area women.
The passage of VAWA represents a tremendous advance for the safety of Native women and provides an equitable pathway for justice that has been absent for too long, Ms. Barreiro said. Native women are murdered at 10 times the national average and more than one in three will be raped in their lifetimes. These crimes are unacceptable.
According to the New York Times report this week, the lack of adequate prosecuting power has made some reservations targets for sexual predators and 80 percent of sex crimes on reservations are committed by non-Indian men.
Mr. LaFrance said the St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Council reports any sex crimes it is made aware of to the Franklin County District Attorneys Office, which then determines whether to prosecute the alleged perpetrator. He said he was hopeful the new power will increase the rate of prosecution among the perpetrators of sex crimes committed in tAkwesasne.
One tribal member raised concern about the additional expenses associated with more prosecutions. Charles J. Chaz Kader, clerk of the Mens Council of the People of the Way of the Longhouse, said the VAWA a could prove to be a double-edged sword and that tribal courts should receive increases in federal funding comparable to the cost of additional prosecuting powers.
The tribal court will have to do more, but theyll need money (to do it), Mr. Kader said. The rubber hits the road when the funding is commensurate to the new law.
Mr. Kader expressed concern grant funding for tribal courts, which he said is often scarce, and overcrowding in Franklin Countys correctional facilities might require the construction of a new jail in Akwesasne, should the passage of VAWA increase the number of persons convicted of crimes on the reservation. There may be some issue with implementation of the VAWA if it becomes an unfunded mandate, Mr. Kader said.
Despite the potential funding complications, Mr. Kader said the mens council supported VAWA as a cure to the shocking rate of sex crimes among Native women. It remains to be seen how it will all come together, he said.
Mr. LaFrance said the tribal council isnt as concerned with funding or complications in implementing the VAWA as it is with lowering rates of sex crimes on the reservation. As this law takes effect, (those issues) would be the least of our concerns. Our main concern is the prosecution of perpetrators of crimes against our women, he said.
The new powers and protections wont apply to Akwesasne residents who on the so-called Canadian side of the transborder reservation.
Our aboriginal relatives in Canada are fighting to save their sisters and daughters, who are abducted or murdered with outrageous frequency, Ms. Barreiro said. Hopefully, the attention around VAWA can help shine a light on their situation as well.

From what I can see it's a late 19th to early 20th Century example based on the "Gone with the Wind" types. These were hugely popular in the 1980's, but values for them have dropped quite a bit in recent years, ones like this often go at auction for less than $100.00 currently.

Roadrunner & Artist News
Say Hello To doubleDrive
Posted on February 12, 2008... doubleDrive, familiarize yourself with that name, folks. As most of this year has been spent recording their Roadrunner debut and getting everything in order, we are almost ready to go... So, here's a quick update: Outside of a 30 minute set in July and a New Year's Eve show back in the A.M. hours of January, doubleDrive played their first show this past weekend at The Bay in Chattanooga, Tennessee in teh good ol' US of A. And the verdict after all this time off? "It was like the middle of a tour," told frontman Donnie earlier this afternoon. Much of the reason was the sound, as a man by the name of Big Red was behind the sound board (you may know Big Red from seeing/hearing the likes of Soulfly, Danzig, or Sevendust live). Big Red should be making the trip with the doubleDrive clan come this weekend - a five date tour run with Days Of The New. Catch them whilst they are on this roll...
Right now, there's no escaping doubleDrive. We present the facts, courtesy of our US office, as follows:
1) email rec'd from frontman Donnie two days ago, containing a new pic of the band.
2) a call from Donnie himself yesterday whilst he was driving somewhere down south. He reports that the night prior the band had their first 'full throttle' practice since returning from mixing their Roadrunner debut in NYC. Here on out, more 'all outta breath' practices, a 4-5 nights/week schedule.
3) if you were in the US office, all you'd have to do it open your ears - you can hear the man behind The Production Gospel According To Dave cranking out a couple of the band's tracks from their mix sessions, putting his expert ear on them. Speaking of which, just one day left on the mixing front - 1 new song and a couple re-calls. The Michael Barbiero (Guns N Roses Appetite For Destruction) will be heading the session, as he has done for the prior mix sessions. and...
Earlier this week (Wednesday, to be exact) Double Drive arrived in NYC. Purpose? The mixing of their Roadrunner debut. In fact, location of the mix is literally right around the corner from the Roadrunner office. In spite of being so close, it took two days for Donnie (vocals) and Troy (guitar) - the members from the band in NYC for the mix - to stop by the office...their first time ever stepping foot up in there. Donnie and Troy are working with producer Michael Barbiero mixing the album at the same quick pace in which they recorded. "First day of mixing put one in the can halfway through the day," tells Donnie, referring to finishing up their first track. "It's very minisquous," Donnie details. Huh? What he is saying is that they are busting it out, not looking for fine little problems. Troy swears, and perhaps rightfully so, that Donnie am making up words. So, how has the day gone for the boys from Double Drive thus far? They awoke at 12:30pm. "That's what time Donnie got up," Troy chimes in. Apparently Troy was awoken by Donnie waving socks around, or something like that...you get the idea. Come 2:00, they were at the studio - mixes, edits, re-edits, re-mixes of song "Imprint." Also, started doing some "comping" previously not done (you figure out what that studio jargon means). The boys tell of a 'latin jazz' thing happening in studio A beside them...next week the recording of some strings for one of the songs, a first for the band.
Roadrunner: Five words on (producer) Michael Barbiero?
Donnie: He's Rock and Roll royalty.
Michael, the man who headed the Double Drive recording and currently heading the mix sessions, also happens to be the man who mixed Guns N Roses Appetite For Destruction. Words of wisdom Donnie. The rest of the night for the band holds another late night at studio, working hard into Saturday morning before shut down. After that? "Partying," answers Donnie. "Hard," Troy quickly adds. They laugh. Donnie and Troy will be in town mixing until the 9th, so keep checking back for more updates. Title of the album they are working on? Kung Fu Johnson, we are informed. They laugh again... more to come...
Been a while since we made mention of this Atlanta based act. Well, they are hitting the studio come July 8th to record their Roadrunner debut. Where? Atlanta.
Here's a name you haven't heard much on the Roadrunner site as of late, Double Drive. But you know the saying, when it rains, it pours...tis currently just the calm before the storm. That being said, let's work on getting acquainted once again with Double Drive. And what better way to do such than through a live show??? There is none. Double Drive has booked a couple local US club dates for later this summer. They are as follows:
July 26 - ON THE BRICKS - ATLANTA, GA
August 3 - G STREET LIVE - WASHINGTON, DC
So if you are out that way, be sure to check em out!
Roadrunner Records is proud to announce the signing of the Atlanta based quartet Double Drive. Brought to you by the same A&R cat who brought Nickelback into the Roadrunner family, Double Drive is as follows - Donnie Hamby (vocals/guitar), Troy McLawhorn (guitar), Josh Sattler (bass), and Mike Froedge (drums).
Band sound familiar? Quite possibly, as in 1999 they released an album titled 1000 Yard Stare for MCA Records. Since then, most of their time has been spent touring.
They are now back home in Atlanta, where they are getting new material together for what will be their Roadrunner debut. No dates have been etched in stone as of yet for this project.
More details to follow... Double Drive, welcome to Roadrunner. Fans of Roadrunner, welcome Double Drive.

Stuttering Hits Close to Home in Jets Organization
When the video above was posted on Youtube on August 20, 2009, then Bills cornerback Ellis Lanskster found himself all over the web. 387,037 views later and the video is still on the internet. Unfortunately, the rude, cold-hearted people in this world thought it was funny.
But I can tell you it is no laughing matter whatsoever.
Lankster suffers from stuttering and has had to deal with it since he was a kid. "God made me a star football player who stutters for a reason, so I can help other people who stutter," Lankster said.
Earlier this week, Lanskter was presented with the "Converting Awareness into Action" Award at the Stuttering Foundation Gala in honor of National Stuttering Awareness Week. The award was given to Lanskter for everything he has done to inspire those who stutter.
"Ellis shows his true toughness by sharing his struggles with fluency as a child. He refused to let his stutter keep him from his dream of playing professional football, and he is committed to helping and inspiring children attain their dreams by overcoming the obstacles they face," said Jane Fraser, president of the Stuttering Foundation.
So what is stuttering? According to the Foundation's website, stuttering is a communication disorder that causes things such as abnormal stoppages in speech or words broken by repetition. More than 68 million people worldwide stutter.
There are over 3 million Americans who stutter, including Jets left guard Matt Slauson.
To learn more about Slauson's stuttering problem, watch this video below:
Slauson has worked with Camp Our Time, a sleep-away camp for kids who stutter. "As a person who has battled stuttering my entire life I feel it is important to help kids that are afflicted with this difficult problem. Whether overcoming this impediment completely or simply becoming more confident when speaking, I want kids who stutter to know they can be successful and accomplish anything they want to," Slauson said.
"I think what Matt learned at a pretty young age is that he speaks with his heart. His mouth just has to catch up with it," Slauson's dad, Rob, told the Lincoln Journal Star. "He always had the gift to share the joy he had about things. And if his mouth doesn't catch up, it's OK with him."
Lankster and Slauson should both be commended for their efforts, rather than ridiculed for the way they speak. With their charm and natural eloquence, both inspire millions on and off the field. Rather than asking "why me?" these two men continue to help others overcome stuttering while dealing with it themselves. They are true heroes in every sense of the word.

If I'm in the wilderness in a dry, hot climate without much vegetation and I'm running low on water, what land features and other potential signs can I look for to guide me to a drinkable water source?
I never tried, but one option I read about is to tie a transparent plastic bag around a branch of a large leaf tree, and let water condensation from the plant to stick to the inner wall of the bag. Cut a small hole in the bag and let the liquid drip out.
An alternative is to dig a hole, put anything having a water content in it, add a cup at the bottom of the hole, cover the hole with a transparent plastic sheet, put a rock in the middle, and let the sun evaporate the water. This technique is called a "solar still". One note of warning with the solar still: digging a hole requires sweat, and the amount of water a single solar still provides is small. A solar still in a very hot climate may be a net loss of water, but I speak from gathered info, not experience.
When it comes to territory, clearly you will likely find liquid water below the timberline. Water follows the gradient, so keep into account the watershed and look for features that form confluences, such as V-shaped bends.

Yes, it's 3:24 in the AM. Yes, Mike and I are driving home for 11 hours tomorrow. Yes, we promised each other we'd leave no later than 9:30. Yes, I'm getting room service breakfast one last time at 8. Yes, we just hung out altogether for one last hurrah at Harrah's tonight and we will feel the lack of sleep tomorrow. Yes, it's all going to be worth it.
"Thank you" doesn't cut it. Saying we appreciate the support our fans show us on a constant basis doesn't cut it. Being able to give a little of our time back to you all on our last day in town to have some laughs together doesn't begin to scratch the surface of how much we are indebted to you, the person reading this, for giving us the opportunity to share our common love of performing with you. This summer run in Atlantic City wouldn't have happened if not for you, coming out with your families and friends to spend time listening to us in your home towns. Without a crowd of folks such as yourselves to sing for, we're just a bunch of college buddies who enjoy singing without a band (ha!). With you guys in front of us, though, night after night, we are a bunch of guys who are beyond blessed to get to do what it is we do. Furthermore, our families and loved ones back home have sacrificed so much so we can perform for you and they deserve more of your praise than we ever could ask for...and you all even go so far as to personally reach out and thank them on here, on Facebook, etc. Seriously, Randy hit it on the head with the caption to his last two photos on the main page, our fans ROCK.
Don't get me wrong...I can't WAIT to be home. Good grief, if I have to walk through that smoky hallway one more time to get to the theater, I may snap. Enough of that, though; let's focus on the fact that we just crushed 40 shows of fun music for people who paid good money to spend their time with us; and how we were so fortunate to have done so. Give us a couple weeks to rest up, do our respective thing, reflect a bit, and realize all over again why we're doing this crazy, completely unorthodox path of a career, and we'll be seeing you soon enough. Forgive us if we're a little quiet on the site while we're home. Sometimes doing absolutely nothing means absolutely everything, especially when we're away from home for as much of the year as we are...
I said it in my intro tonight onstage; tonight is a point in our lives that we will remember always. Our founder, director, friend, and brother Dan performed his last show with SNC. Those of you who were there to witness the love we have for him and that he has for us will forever be a part of that communal memory. For that, on our last evening in Atlantic City, I am grateful and will remain so for a long, long time.
Cobra, we wish you only the best and couldn't be more proud to carry on the legacy you created nearly 15 years ago. May God bless you in your new endeavors, buddy, and may He continue to bless what you started in SNC! (Let the well wishes commence on the comments wall....now!)
Good night, everyone, and thank you as always for your support of Straight No Chaser. Send prayers all of our ways tomorrow, please, as we travel home. Until next time...

NORWOOD - They have the land, the volunteers and the money.
Whats needed now is a partner family interested in owning a new home built by volunteers from Racquette Valley Habitat for Humanity.
The agency purchased a parcel on Cottage Street, Norwood, and would like to start building by mid-June, but so far only two applicants have applied for the home.
Wed like to get four or five applicants, said Vice President JoAnne M. Fassinger, Canton. The more applicants the better. We know there is a need.
After a home on the parcel burned, the village of Norwood took ownership of the property and later sold it to habitat.
Its in a nice, quiet neighborhood, Ms. Fassinger said. We wont break ground until we have a family.
The homes are available to St. Lawrence County families or individual who meet income guidelines and can show they have enough income to make the monthly mortgage payment. Volunteer labor and donated building materials help keep down the cost and partner families are provided with no-interest mortgages.
Partner families are also required to provide at least 500 hours of sweat equity either building their own house or helping with another habitat project.
Its not a charity, said Cynthia J. Atkins, chair of the chapters family support and selection committee. Its a partnership that gets people involved in building their own house. These homes have made a difference in peoples lives, theyve made a difference in kids lives.
Families who are unable to meet the income and credit history requirements of banks often qualify for a habitat house.
We try to give it to people with the most need, Ms. Atkins said, noting that any St. Lawrence County resident is eligible for the Norwood site.
Giving an example of eligible income levels, a four-person family can earn up to $46,150 a year.
Most of the habitat homes are ranch-style, about 1,100 square-feet, with three-bedrooms and one bathroom. The price range is roughly $70,000. Volunteers from the local chapter are joined by college students from St. Lawrence Universitys habitat chapter and SUNY Cantons habitat chapter.
Ms. Atkins and Ms. Fassinger said the students are anxious to start a building project.
Theyre not fundraisers, they want to be building something, Ms. Fassinger said.
This year for the first time, the chapter is working with the U.S. Department of Agricultures Rural Development program. The federal agency is reviewing financial information provided by applicants and will hold the mortgage to the home.
The U.S.D.A. takes us out of the mortgage business, Ms. Atkins said. They also help people set up a financial plan and financial goals. Its easy to partner with them because they have the same criteria.
Since the Racquette Family chapter was started in 1989, volunteers have rehabilitated 25 homes and constructed 14 new homes in various St. Lawrence County communities including Norfolk, Parishville, Canton, Massena, Norwood, and Rensselaer Falls.
For more information about how to apply or volunteer, please call the organizations cell phone at 244-1335. The group is in the process of updating its website and hopes it will be online by the end of April.

Despite the cool fall temperatures, fishing is usually best in the morning and evening. Brown trout are spawning, making them more willing to hit lures and spinners. All game fish are feeding actively in preparation for winter. Cool water temperatures have attracted fish to shallower water, where they are available to shoreline anglers. Angler pressure is very low, giving die-hard anglers a lot of elbow room. When in the high country, be prepared for possible winter storms.
Gigliotti Pond. Lieutenant Alan Green reports fast fishing for rainbow trout with PowerBait. On September 22, 1,500 catchable-size rainbow trout were stocked. These fish averaged 13 to 14 inches and three quarter pounds. Aquatics Manager, Paul Birdsey reminds anglers that the daily limit is four trout. The possession limit is also four trout. This limit includes the fish that may already be in the freezer at home. Largemouth bass and bluegill need to be released immediately unharmed.
Huntington Reservoir. No report. In previous years, angler Tom Ogden has used a number 10 beadhead black/green wooly bugger or number eight to 10 beadhead black leech successfully in late October.
Joes Valley Reservoir. The reservoir closes to fishing from November 1 through December 10 to protect splake which are attempting to spawn.
LaSal Mountains. Conservation officer, Joe Nicholson reports slow fishing at Ken's Lake. Anglers reported good success on trout up to 12 inches using wooly buggers at Oowah and Medicine lakes. Nicholson suggests that anglers fish Dons and Hidden lakes with wooly worms, Mepp's, Panther Martin spinners or spoons. Try the pond at the Miner's Basin trailhead for lots of brook trout. Nicholson adds that the trail to Miner's Basin provides a good opportunity to see wildlife.
Scofield Reservoir. Conservation officer, Mike Milburn recommends that anglers use minnow-imitating Rapalas, such as a size number five silver/black Husky Jerk. Alternately, Milburn suggests using crawfish-imitating tube jigs, such as a one-eighth ounce Gitzit in greenish brown or pumpkin seed.
Fly fisherman Tom Ogden has used a number of wet flies successfully. These include the number eight green sparkle leech, number eight beadhead black leech with rib, and the number eight beadhead black/yellow wooly bugger.
Investigator Roger Kerstetter watched a float tuber catching a lot of fish with a red leech last weekend.
