This year's Annual Day of Caring was held on September 8th.
This year's Annual Day of Caring was held on September 8th. We had the overwhelming support of 742 volunteers who logged 2,968 hours.
An awe-inspiring 47 projects were completed in Carbon and Emery County which included the clean-up of 30 homes and Wood Hill.
This year's event was made possible by our sponsors who provided supplies as well as breakfast and a bbq lunch for the volunteers. Over all we felt the community came together and made a difference in the place we live and love.
The United Way of Eastern Utah has been located in Price for 31 years, serving Carbon, Emery, Grand, San Juan, Duchesne, Uintah and Daggett counties. This includes 37 municipalities with a population of 108,604 and containing 25,850 square miles. In today's challenging economic climate our work is more important than ever.
The United Way of Eastern Utah consists of employees: Bill Maikranz, Executive Director; and Carole Wright, Campaign Coordinator; two AmeriCorps Vista employees Annalee Howland, Ronda Brown and ran by a 14 member volunteer board.
United Way of Eastern Utah mission is to improve lives in Eastern Utah by mobilizing the caring power of our community. Our focus is education, income, and heath. We are working, One, see that every child enters school ready to learn and finish high school prepared to succeed in college, work and life. Two, creating support for families and individuals to have enough income to provide stability and ensure that our community's most basic needs are met. Three, we are working to ensure the promotion of health and safety as well as access to affordable health care for all individuals in the community. Our goal is to create measurable and sustainable changes that meet current and emerging needs within the community.
We are hosting our annual Angel Tree Program, now in its 29th year. Angel Tree applications are being accepted through close of business Nov. 16th, 2012. Last year the program served nearly 790 children.
For the second year Pinnacle Nursing graciously held the Pinnacle Nursing Golf Classic fundraiser for us. We held an essentials drive where we collected: shampoo, laundry soap, toothbrushes and diapers to name a few.
To honor Dr. Seuss' 100th birthday we had a book drive which collected over 600 books. All of the books and essentials were donated to various agencies in the community.
To celebrate the life of Martin Luther King Jr., United Way of Eastern Utah partnered with the VISTAS serving in Carbon and Emery Counties to collect 639 coats that were given to residents of our community.
Many of our communities have an increased need for services while noting a decrease in annual giving as sited in a recent Associated Press article stating donations across the United States are realizing the worst decline in twenty years. The funds which are raised locally stay local; the majority of our administrative and overhead expenditures are met by our Cornerstone Partners which are; Basso GM, Questar, Bill Barrett Corp. Pinnacle Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, XTO Energy, Rocky Mountain Power, Fresh Market, Castleview Hospital, SOS Employment Group, Arch Coal Inc., Caterpillar, Golden West, Pierce Oil, Key Bank and ServiceMaster. Cornerstone Partnership's like these are imperative to the foundation of your local United Way's operation and can't be thanked enough. We are proud to say that we now have 10 grant recipients who like us, work in our communities to improve education, income and health in our communities. Our partner agencies are: Active Reentry, Rocky Mountain Home Care, Sun Center, Boys and Girls Club of Carbon County, Community Rebuilds, Area of Aging, Friends of the PACT in Green River, Foster Grandparents, S.E. Early Intervention and WabiSabi.
We are working with our community investors and grant recipients to improve our community. We can never say thank you enough, but hope they know the real difference they have made in their community. When we all give a little, we get a lot back in return. Their donations and volunteerism have become the backbone of our community laying the foundation to improve the whole community and we are so THANKFUL!!

Civic Engagement in American Democracy
American democracy is in many ways more vital than ever before. Advocacy groups proliferate and formerly marginalized groups enjoy new opportunities. But worrisome trends exist. Millions of Americans are drawing back from involvements with community affairs and politics. Voters stay home; public officials grapple with distrust or indifference; and people are less likely to cooperate on behalf of shared goals. Observers across the spectrum of opinion agree that it is vital to determine what is happening and why so that Americans can take well-informed, effective steps to revitalize our national community.The book opens with an eagle-eye look at the roots of America's special patterns of civic engagement, examining the ways social groups and government and electoral politics have influenced each other. Other chapters examine the impact of advocacy groups and socioeconomic inequalities on democratic processes and probe the influence of long-term social and cultural changes on voluntary associations and civic participation. The book concludes by asking why social liberation has been accompanied by new inequalities and the erosion of many important forms of citizen leverage and participation.Coming together from several disciplines, contributors include Jeffrey M. Berry, Henry E. Brady, John Brehm, Steven Brint, Elisabeth S. Clemens, Peter Dobkin Hall, Wendy M. Rahn, Kay Lehman Schlozman, Sidney Verba, and Robert Wuthnow.Copublished with the Russell Sage Foundation

Comments about Patagonia Tres 3-in-1 Parka (Men's):
The parka is water-proof and keeps me warm. I had an occasion at which I needed to walk in heavy rain for 15 min. The parka kept me dry and warm. The coat fits me well. I weight 140 lbs and I'm 5'9" tall. The coat keeps me warm with only a sports shirt inside when it's above 40F, and with a layer of a wool pull-over when it's above 20F. I give four stars because it's over-priced. I purchased this parka because I do not have any other option. I am too skinny so my choice is very limited. This parka should be priced at 300 dollars or less.

Twitter has launched their new web app that features a redesigned menu that makes it easier for users to go between their Twitter feed and individual Twitter accounts. The mobile version of their website has already started rolling out. Not all users will see the new version of the site, but you can bet that people will start to see it across the board here soon. Twitter is known for rolling out huge changes very slowly to look for issues before throwing it in front of every user.
The new design definitely shows an improvement over the previous design. The mobile site design of the web app previous to this was quite cartoony and definitely did not match the changes that Twitter has made on their main website.
The native apps are still going to be better for the most part than using their mobile site, but this new design is going to be far less clunky and will be easier to navigate for a large bulk of their users. Web apps currently do not have the same access to the API catologue that apps and other platforms currently have access to. Twitter has stated that most users will see the roll out of the new site over the course of the next few weeks, with larger roll outs coming with each passing day. So far, it is being rolled out to users with Android devices, as well as a select number of users with unlocked iPhone 4, iPod Touch's and various other devices in the coming days.
So far the new web app has been received with critical acclaim from users and media sources alike. It is a greatly improved design that is not going to cause the issues that users have complained about for a very long time. It is good to see that twitter has finally addressed this issue.
PureMobile carries wide range of cell phone accessories and unlocked cell phone such as Motorola Atrix unlocked, HTC Incredible, etc..

|Breitenstein scores twice, Terriers win big
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Sunday, 19 September 2010 12:19
Eric Breitenstein turned in his best performance of the season Saturday night for the Wofford College Terriers.
Breitenstein ran for a season-high 134 yards on just six carries and scored twice as the Terriers (2-1) defeated Union College (KY), an NAIA school, 48-10 in their home opener. Breitenstein scored on a 60-yard jaunt in the opening period, and a 68-yard run in the second quarter, which gave the Terriers a commanding 42-3 lead halftime lead.
On the season, Breitenstein, a red-shirt sophomore, now has rushed four 282 yards and four touchdowns in his first three games. The Terriers have a bye week next Saturday; they open Southern Conference play at home against Furman on October 2. The Terriers play Appalachian State November 13 at Kidd Brewer Stadium.

The flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness, and can lead to death in severe cases. For people with asthma, guarding against the flu is important every year because your lung function can be very compromised if you catch the flu, making your asthma symptoms even worse.
Most healthy people recover from the flu without complications, some people, such as older people, young children, and people with certain health conditions like asthma, are at high risk for serious complications from the flu. Some of the complications caused by the flu include bacterial pneumonia, dehydration, and worsening of existing chronic conditions, such as congestive heart failure, asthma, or diabetes. Children and adults could also develop sinus problems or ear infections.
People at high risk for complications include people 65 years or older, people with chronic medical conditions, pregnant women and young children. If you are at high risk from complications of the flu, you should consult your health-care provider to learn how to prevent the flu. If you develop flu-like symptoms, seek professional medical help.
H1N1 ("Swine") flu is a new strain and it's different than the seasonal flu. But, like the seasonal flu, people with asthma are at a greater risk of getting this severe strain, so click on the link below to learn about what you need to know to prevent and prepare. (Note: For the 2010-2011 flu season, the flu vaccine does include protection against the 2009 H1N1 pandemic virus and 2 other flu viruses.) For more H1N1 flu information visit www.flu.gov
Every year the seasonal flu is responsible for causing complications for people with asthma. Getting seasonal flu shot each year is a very effective way to reduce your chances of dealing with complications due to flu symptoms. (Note: For the 2010-2011 flu season, the flu vaccine does include protection against the 2009 H1N1 pandemic virus and 2 other flu viruses.) For more H1N1 flu information visit www.flu.gov
If you have a severe (life-threatening) allergy to eggs, or to any other substance that could be in the flu vaccine (i.e. latex, gelatin, etc.) you should check with your physician before receiving any flu vaccine. If a person reports a severe (anaphylactic) allergy to latex, vaccines supplied in vials or syringes that contain natural rubber should not be administered, unless the benefit of vaccination outweighs the risk of an allergic reaction to the vaccine. For latex allergies other than anaphylactic allergies (e.g., a history of contact allergy to latex gloves), vaccines supplied in vials or syringes that contain dry natural rubber or natural rubber latex can be administered.
Allergic reactions (including anaphylaxis) after vaccination procedures are rare. Only one report of an allergic reaction after administering hepatitis B vaccine in a patient with known severe allergy (anaphylaxis) to latex has been published. ACIP General Recommendations
For more information on egg allergies and flu vaccines visit these links:http://www.aaaai.org/media/h1n1/egg_allergy_li.pdfhttp://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd-vac/should-not-vacc.htm#h1n1
The flu usually starts suddenly and may include these symptoms:
Diarrhea and vomiting also can occur but are more common in children. These symptoms are referred to as "flu-like symptoms." A lot of different illnesses, including the common cold, allergy symptoms and asthma symptoms can sometimes be similar and confusing. Always consult with your doctor to make a proper diagnosis.
There are some "emergency signs" that require immediate medical care. In children, emergency signs include:
For adults, emergency signs include:
The flu spreads in respiratory spraying from coughing and sneezing. It usually spreads from person to person, though occasionally someone could become infected by touching something with virus on it and touching their mouth or nose. Adults may be able to infect others 1 day before getting symptoms and up to 7 days after getting sick. So it's possible to give the flu before you know you're sick, as well as while you are sick.
The single best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu vaccine (a flu shot) each fall. Who should get a flu shot every year:
Also, a few antiviral drugs are approved for prevention of the flu. These are prescription medications, and a doctor should be consulted before they are used. In addition, there are some easy things you can do to prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses like the flu:
There are tests that determine if you have the flu if tested within the first 3 days of illness. Also, a doctor's exam may be needed to tell whether you have an infection that is a complication of the flu.
Antiviral Medications - Some antiviral drugs are approved for treatment of the flu. They are prescription medications, and a doctor should be consulted before the drugs are used. Antiviral treatment lasts for 5 days and must be started within 2 days of illness so if you get flu-like symptoms, seek medical care early on.
Other - If you get the flu, get plenty of rest, drink a lot of liquids, and avoid using alcohol and tobacco. Also, you can take medications to relieve the symptoms of the flu (but never give aspirin to children or teenagers who have flu-like symptoms, particularly fever).
Information from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests that many of the signs and symptoms of swine flu are similar to those experienced by people with seasonal allergies. If your runny nose, itchy and watery eyes, sore throat, and other common allergy symptoms are combined with an unusually high fever (100 degrees or higher), chills, severe headache, or significant aches and pains, you could have some type influenza, including swine flu.
Swine flu symptoms are similar to typical flu symptoms and to common allergy effects as well. As an asthma and allergy patient, you must be particularly vigilant to avoid contact with people who might have any strain of influenza, including swine flu.
You can take several simple precautions to protect yourself and the members of your family from contracting influenza. The CDC recommends taking the following steps:
If you think your allergy symptoms might be indicative of something more severe, including any strain of influenza, you should visit your primary care physician for a diagnosis or treatment recommendation. Further, if you become ill and experience any of the following warning signs, seek emergency medical care:
Emergency warning signs that need urgent medical attention for children include:
Emergency warning signs that need urgent medical attention for adults include:

Literary Reference Center Plus is a comprehensive, full text database that provides a broad spectrum of information on thousands of authors and their works across literary disciplines and timeframes. LRC combines information from major respected reference works, books, and literary journals, as well as original content from EBSCO Publishing.LRC includes:
An artist's book is a work of art that takes the form of a book. But what does that mean? And what counts as a book, anyway? Is it a bunch of pages that have been bound together, or is there more to it than that?
These are the kinds of questions that artists' books try to answer. They play with both the form and the function of books as objects, encouraging onlookers to question traditional conceptualizations of "books." They are usually handmade, often unique, and all different from one another. Because most artist's books are hand-made and only crafted in small, limited runs, they offer artists a special opportunity to create books that are intensely personal.
All of the books featured in this exhibit are part of Miami University's Walter Havighurst Special Collections. The materials on display reflect a concentrated effort to build a diverse, provocative collection that will challenge students to reconsider their notion of "books" while also paying tribute to the creativity and innovation of book artists across the globe.

It's an island between the River Irwell / Manchester Ship Canal, and the Bridgewater Canal. There is a footbridge that crosses the river, dropping out of Hulme, where I live, onto the banks of Salford. If you stand at the middle of the bridge, you are at the intersection of these three boroughs, each of which with its own rich history, and culture. I cycle through Pomona Island quite often, with my 2 year old on the back of the bike. Its a relief from the traffic and an adventurous route to Salford Quays and Media City. Read more »

It's as if many Scots doubt that they have enough well-educated, hardworking, and community-minded men and women to renegotiate with the EU, NATO and the failed banks and financial systems that ordinary citizens continue to pay for.

The Clippers on the Clock
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Tue, 07/01/08, 11:04am:
There are two central questions to the Brand and Davis opt-outs:
First, how real are the rumors that both Brand and Davis will sign with the Clippers?
Second – if that happens, how good are the Clippers with the following eight players under contract?
PG Davis/Knight
SG Mobley/Gordon
SF Thornton/Thomas
PF Brand
C Kaman
Kelly Dwyer looks at both the speculation and a potential Clipper team with Brand and Davis. Nobody does better truth-squadding than KD, and his post is essential reading.
The Clippers do have cap space…Corey took the plunge, which leaves Los Angeles with about 29.6 million dollars in salary in place for next year, with the NBA's salary cap expected to be a shade over 58 million dollars in 2008-09.
Does all of that get earmarked for Brand and Davis? I'm not going to give you one of those "they're the Clippers" speeches, because even if you don't agree with the team's personnel moves, you can't call this outfit cheap anymore, not since it matched contract offers for Brand and Maggette back in 2003 and the flurry of signings/extensions in the years following. That said, filling out the rest of the cap with these two leaves Los Angeles with eight players under contract, and nothing more than a pretty solid team.
Even if Brand and Davis evenly split that nearly 30 million starting next year, both players will be playing for less money than they were due to make originally. Creating a sign and trade with Golden State doesn't make sense because there is nobody on that roster that the Warriors would want to give Baron Davis-sized money to, and that would leave Brand with the short end of the stick starting salary-wise.
Someone, if not both Davis and Brand, will be getting the stick in this situation. And for what? The Clippers would have those two; center Chris Kaman, emerging forward Al Thornton, rookie Eric Gordon, with veteran shooters Tim Thomas and Cuttino Mobley hanging around. That's a good team, even if Davis misses some time, but not an overwhelming team. The Clippers will have more cap space coming down the pike years later when Mobley and Thomas' contracts expire, but not a ton.
There are few in the Naçion who wouldn't endorse a Davis signing, but it's worth examining whether adding Davis truly elevates the Clippers to an upper-echelon team.
The Clippers won 47 games in 2005-2006 with the Brand-Cassell screen/roll as its offensive lynchpin. Even though Cassell had a resurgent effort that season, there's little doubt that a healthy Baron Davis would represent a profound upgrade, particularly at the defensive end where Davis is strong and smart. With Maggette's departure, Al Thornton would have to fill the vacuum on the wing. Though most Clippers fans have been itchy to consign the shooting guard slot to someone other than Cuttino Mobley, the Clips would need Cat's presence on the perimeter to contain opposing scorers. Eric Gordon is scouted as a solid defensive player, but would you entrust him in his rookie season to guard Kobe Bryant in quarters one and four? Davis would slide over on occasion to cover shooting guards, but by and large that role will be left to Cat – particularly against small forwards because Al Thornton has proved to be nothing more than a mediocre defender.
That leaves as the unquantifiable variables in the equation – as usual – the development of Christopher Zane Kaman, as well as the health of the big scorers. Davis played in every Warriors' game last season, but in the prior three seasons he missed 83 games. Elton's Achilles tendon seems to be healing nicely, but whether EB can reach the heights of his 2006 game remain to be seen.
It's obvious that the organization will extend healthy offers to both Brand and Davis. What's unclear is what happens if either or both balk. As Dwyer points out, one of these two guys will be "getting the stick in this situation." Will the prospect of kinda-sorta contending for a Top 4 seed might pale next to getting the max elsewhere? Is so, where do the Clippers go from there?
Could a Clippers team with both Elton Brand and Baron Davis chase the Lakers into the ides of March? Could sinking half of the team's payroll into dual contracts for a couple of guys who will turn 30 this spring be ruinous going forward? All good questions, but ones whose worst-case scenarios shouldn't preclude the Clippers from rolling the dice. Having tasted 47 wins, the Naçion will happily settle for pretty solid.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- There are quite a few major development projects in Downtown Buffalo, and most of them involve new hotels. Some question if the city can handle such a dramatic increase in the number of rooms.
Developers, city leaders and tourism experts all say the answer is yes; there is actually a current shortage in hotel rooms.
There are at least four major hotel projects underway right now.
The Tishman Building at Lafayette Square will become a Hilton Garden Inn, with 123 new hotel rooms. It's part of a $41 million project.
The former Donovan Office Building at Canalside is being turned into a Courtyard by Marriott. The $30 million project includes 96 new hotel rooms.
Nearby, the Sabres' HARBORcenter complex is a $175 million investment that will include 200 additional hotel rooms.
And Carl Paladino will spend $75 million on his project called "The Carlo" at the waterfront. The hotel portion has 138 rooms.
Add them up, and Downtown will have 557 new hotel rooms from these projects alone, and that doesn't even include what may be included in the HSBC Tower.
Developer Rocco Termini, who owns the successful Hotel @ the Lafayette, said he believes there is plenty of demand for these new hotels to be close to capacity.
"Buffalo was a 'B' city," Termini said. "We're starting to move into the 'A' category, and all 'A' cities have a lot of first class hotel rooms downtown."
The projects will go online at various times over the next couple of years. The Courtyard by Marriott will open up first, later this year.
Visit Buffalo Niagara said our current occupancy rate is 66.4%, which is well above the 51% national average.
"If we all believe that tourism is a growth industry, and we certainly do, Buffalo Niagara needs additional hotel rooms now and in the future," said Dottie Gallagher-Cohen, President of Visit Buffalo Niagara.
She noted that it is critical to invest in tourism in order to take advantage of the opportunities the new hotels afford.

I am Kazam Raza from Lahore Pakistan. I have using this software for the last five years. This is an excellent light weight software for php/mysql development. thanks to Uniserver team for the development of this product.
Extraordinarily straightforward to use and i personally found the front end a lot more intutive and able to create tailored set-ups than others (including the project on which it is based) without having too much need to hack .htaccess .ini and settings files I have used this a lot more now. The others exercise an i7 whilst doing nothing much and with only core OS, Chrome, Firefox, notepad++, bittorrent sync, skype, AV and anti-exploit and a few directories open, driving idle temp to 80C on my x220. This runs at 56C for the same effort - very impressed.

At University of the Sciences we provide a variety of financial assistance to make your educational investment affordable for you and your family. The entire Financial Aid Office staff is available to help with every step of the process.
Undergraduate and first professional students have the potential to receive University need-based and merit awards, state grants, federal grants and loans, and part-time employment. (Graduate students, click here for more specialized information.) We review all applications and award assistance in the forms and amounts most appropriate to your needs based on your financial situation and program of study.
If you have applied for admission, or if you are a continuing student, we encourage you to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which must be completed in order for you to be considered for financial assistance. It is recommended that you complete the FAFSA online. Paper copies can be requested at 800.4.FED.AID. The FAFSA can not be submitted any sooner than January 1st, the priority date to submit the FAFSA is March 15th.
The following are costs for the 2015–2016 academic year for students living on campus.
