Sesame Street and the USO extended their world tour to bring Katie, a Sesame Street character and military child experiencing the stresses of moving to a new duty station, to military installations in Guam and Hawaii. In doing so, the tour reached its 400,000th military family member at Kadena Air Base in Japan on Oct. 2.
Angela Hong, Sesame Street/USO Experience for Military Families coordinator, grew up in Katie's shoes as a military child, so she understands the pressures military kids face.
"There are many things in my military family life that I previously did not understand or appreciate that I now wouldn't trade for anything else," Hong shared recently with the USO. "But it took a long time and life experiences to understand. The work that Sesame Street and the USO do to help our nation's military families is an invaluable investment in their futures."
From Germany to Japan, and from Alaska to the South Pacific, the Sesame Street/USO Experience has been on the road providing shows free of charge. The tour recently traveled through U.S. military installations in Japan, South Korea and Guam, and will make tour stops at U.S. bases in Hawaii in November.
"I wish I knew Katie when I was a young, a nervous girl moving to different countries," Hong wrote. "She helps military kids understand they aren't alone and why moving or changes in life have to happen. Katie further helps children see the positives in moving, like making new friends, seeing new places, and keeping in touch with old ones!"
First lady Michelle Obama paid her first visit to the USO Warrior and Family Center at Fort Belvoir, Va., on Sept. 11.
"I just wanted to shine a light on all the great work the USO is doing for families like these all over the country," Obama said during brief remarks at the center.
Obama, along with actor and longtime USO supporter Gary Sinise, worked with children from military families to create a group art project that was later displayed at the National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE) satellite center on base. The NICoE, which supports troops dealing with brain injuries, employs art therapy as a way to help injured troops heal. (See the video.)
Kroger has generously donated nearly $3.2 million to the USO this year to help us lift the spirits of our troops and their families. The company, the nation's largest traditional grocery retailer, is committed to supporting members of the military and their families and has donated more than $8.2 million to the USO since 2010.
The funds, raised through Kroger's "Honoring our Heroes" campaign, will help support the wide range of programs and services the USO provides to service members, their families, wounded, ill and injured troops, and our veterans. With help from key corporate partners, Kroger was able to raise money through the sale of special- edition products and with contributions from customers and associates at Kroger's family of stores across the country.
Kroger is also making it easier to support the troops online. When customers visit www.honoringourheroes.com, they can volunteer with the USO, make a donation or write a note to a service member. They can also learn about the hundreds of Kroger employees who are currently serving in the U.S. military.
Christina Ambrose has always been a strong supporter of American troops, even before she became a duty manager at USO Camp Buehring in Kuwait.
Her family volunteered at USO South Carolina and she fell in love with the organization once she started volunteering. When asked if she was interested in a full-time position in Southwest Asia, she jumped at the opportunity.
She's been a USO employee for more than a year and loves coming into work every day.
"We have such an amazing staff and our volunteers truly are the heart of our center. They never cease to amaze me with their humor, creative ideas and their passion for our mission."
The USO staff and volunteers organize lots of fun events and programs for troops at Camp Buehring, but one in particular sticks out for Ambrose.
"I had literally just arrived in Kuwait earlier in the week, and [the Halloween Zombie 5K Run] was the first event I took part in. So, I started off my USO career being chased by zombies."
Thankfully, those zombies never got to her, and Ambrose is still fully committed to lifting the spirits of troops and their families.
"I love everything that the USO stands for, and to be a part of such an incredible organization and help fulfill our mission is such a rewarding feeling."
Sometimes you need to step away from a situation to learn from it.
USO/National Military Family Association Operation Purple Healing Adventures Retreats allow wounded, ill and injured troops and their families to do just that. The retreats let attendees relax, reconnect and spend quality time learning how to play again as a family.
Thirteen families attended the three-day event at IslandWood, an outdoor learning center in Bainbridge, Wash.
The families worked with clinicians, Military Family Life Consultants as well as both National Military Family Association and IslandWood staff and participated in outdoor activities, therapeutic interventions and animal- assisted therapy.
The USO plays a key role in the retreats by working with local military to assist with identifying families who would benefit from the program and making a substantial financial contribution to operate each co-branded retreat.
The USO goes where the troops go. In September, that meant celebrations in both rural Eastover, S.C., and Seoul, the capital of South Korea.
The doors to the newly renovated USO day room at the McCrady Training Center in South Carolina opened Sept. 13 with a barbecue and ribbon-cutting ceremony. Like regular USO centers, USO day rooms offer a comfortable place where troops can connect, watch TV, or just put their feet up and relax.
The McCrady Training Center day room supports troops from all branches who use the area for readiness and pre-deployment training.
One day earlier, USO Seoul officially opened its doors. The celebration included military leaders and troops, a performance from the USO Show Troupe and a ribboncutting ceremony. The Seoul center is located at the heart of Yongsan Garrison, which serves as the hub for U.S. military operations in South Korea.
The opening is the culmination of a move for the USO from Camp Kim to Yongsan, which allows the USO to better serve the troops and military families living in the region.
"We wanted to create a place where troops and military families could relax and spend time with their friends and family back home," said Carly Harris, Regional Vice President USO Pacific. "We also want to create a sense of community for those younger service members serving their first overseas tour. Our many activities and volunteer opportunities are great ways for them to get involved during their time in country."
We would love to hear from you.

Read: Being Happy For Mike Rupp
Winter Classic veteran Mike Rupp scored two goals last night in his eighth game back from knee surgery.
John Tortorella said, with a big smile, on his post game news conference on the NHL Network that he couldn't be happier for Rupp after the season he has had, he is a "great" teammate and that he brings an intangible to the young core of the team as a veteran.
Rupp said earlier this year that he was thankful for the chance to join the team on road trips while he was injured.
Rupp was awarded the Broadway Hat following the win.
I have been a big Rupp supporter since he was signed and I think his game is finally coming along. I certainly didn't see him scoring two goals, especially the slick first one, but he stepped up in a big moment. I loved seeing Brandon Prust basically jump into his arms after Rupp scored the second goal. I love that John Tortorella calls him a "glue guy." He understands his role on the ice and his role in the locker room. He is a very valuable player.

Three Bluejays Claim BIG EAST Mens Soccer Weekly Honors
It marks the second Defensive Player of the Week honor for Miller this season and Herbers' first accolade from the conference. The honor roll recognition gained by Bolowich follows a Goalkeeper of the Week honor awarded earlier this season.
Herbers scored the lone goal of the match off of a free kick at 108:05 in a double overtime against No. 7 St. John's to secure Creighton's first BIG EAST victory and program win No. 400. It marked his second goal of the season, both game-winners. Herbers is currently tied for second on the team with two goals and six points on the season.
Miller won BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week honors after anchoring the Creighton backline against No. 7 St. John's, helping the Bluejays record the team's first BIG EAST victory and program win No. 400. He played all 108 minutes in the double overtime victory over St. John's. Miller has played every minute of the season on defense, helping the Jays record three shutouts through six matches.
Bolowich earned BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll recognition after recording his third shutout of the season and second shutout of a ranked opponent last weekend. Bolowich made three saves in the victory over No. 7 St. John's to improve to 5-1 on the season. Bolowich currently boasts a 0.83 goals against average while allowing just five goals through six matches this season.
Creighton battles non-conference foe Michigan State of the Big Ten in a BLUE OUT match on Tuesday at 7 p.m. inside Morrison Stadium.
Fans attending the men's soccer match are encouraged to wear blue apparel to create a blue out in support of prostate and testicular cancer awareness. The Bluejays will wear blue tops, shorts and socks while the Spartans will wear all white in support of the cause which is an event co-sponsored by Creighton Athletics and the Creighton student chapter of Colleges Against Cancer.

From wonderkid to world-beater: George Best's first five seasons in photographs
1. Making his mark
15 Feb 1964: George Best turns the ball in to score Manchester United's fourth goal, completing an FA Cup Fifth Round rout of Barnsley at Oakwell. After making his first-team debut in the previous September's home win over West Brom, Best had returned to the reserves and youth sides until a 6-1 Boxing Day beating at Burnley convinced manager Matt Busby to recall the 17-year-old – literally: he was back in Belfast having a family Christmas until summoned by telegram.
Best starred in United's 5-1 win in the return game with Burnley (at the time, teams faced each other twice over Christmas) and became a first-team fixture, making 26 appearances and scoring six goals. United finished second in the league and reached the FA Cup semi-finals and European Cup Winners' Cup quarter-finals; Best also helped United win the FA Youth Cup for the first time since the developing Busby Babes won it every year since 1953 and 1957.

RIM announced their financial results the previous night, sporting a grand increment in their revenues since previous year's outputs and clearly and proudly signifying the extraordinary number of blackberry's sold. The numbers from the report were astounding.
- Revenue went up by over 20%, which is a rather humbling figure to come to terms with.
- Incomes per share also catapulted. Blackberry Unlocked smartphone shipments expanded greatly during the same time last year to an unimaginable amount, almost over ten million. RIM shipped its 100 millionth Blackberry smartphone during this particular period.
- BlackBerry subscriber account base increased approximately to a jaw dropping percentage of almost 60% over the last year to a hefty amount, aided by a humongous number of subscribers increment.
- RIM's Board of Director passed the bill on share repurchase program to buy for nullifying up to over thirty million common shares.
In the perpetually exciting question period, quite a few number of interesting know-how's are received. Co-CEO Jim Balsillie proposes a few strategies to this effect. He might have been hinting on gauging the market for companion and tablet devices in organizations and many will vouch for the fact that it was a slight nod of acknowledgement that RIM is actually working- on one. Balsillie also lectured in a fair bit about dual mode operating systems, which could make it possible to swap between "work mode" and "play mode".
Mike Abramsky from RBC Capital Markets said that they expected valuation to stick to range bound near term on competitive evaluations but for emotion to grow with rising visibility to improvised competition position and execution.
William Power from Baird suggested that based on their store visit discoveries and product road maps they expect huger turnovers and better share gains from Android based gadgets.

Hanukkah Recipes
Andrew Scrivani for The New York Times
The words "happy Hanukkah" have true meaning, because Hanukkah is a happy holiday. And the celebration, with the lighting of the menorah, is almost always accompanied by food.
For many Jews, latkes, or potato pancakes, are the customary dish. But the various Jewish traditions offer lots of alternatives. For Sephardic Jews, fried pastries dipped in honey are becoming popular. Among the Satmar Hasidim in New York, one Hanukkah delicacy is a cheese Danish called delkelekh. There are other kinds of pancakes besides the standard potato — cheese, curried sweet potato latkes, zucchini, leek, even a latke with celeriac and parsnips made by the chef Dan Barber of Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Westchester County. For those with a true sweet tooth, there are sufganiyot, orange-scented jelly doughnuts.
Hanukkah is also as much a celebration of the olive as it is of the miracle of the oil that lasted eight days. In Israel, Hanukkah is integrally connected with olive oil, David Eitam said in 1996 as director of the Olive Oil Industry Museum in Haifa, Israel. "The famous miracle in 165 B.C., when Judah Maccabee and his brothers found a drop of oil to light the candelabra in the Temple in Jerusalem, was not soy or vegetable oil," Mr. Eitam said. "It was olive oil, common in Israel from the time of Adam and Eve." So you might be tempted to try deep-fried garlic cloves and green olives.
You'll find many other recipes for Hanukkah on this topic page. For those concerned about low-fat diets, there are low-fat latkes. From Uzbekistan, there's Bukharan flat bread. From Hungary, there's stuffed-under-the-skin chicken.
So read, and enjoy.

A Phase I Study of a New Tuberculosis (TB) Vaccine, MVA85A, in Healthy Volunteers With HIV
- Full Text View

- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This is an open Phase I study of a candidate TB vaccine, MVA85A, in healthy subjects who are infected with HIV. It is designed to study the safety and immunogenicity of the vaccine.
Biological: MVA85A
Phase 1
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Non-Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Prevention
|Official Title:
|A Phase I Study Evaluating the Safety and Immunogenicity of a New TB Vaccine, MVA85A, in Healthy Volunteers Who Are Infected With HIV
- Safety of MVA85A [ Time Frame: Six months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Immunogenicity of MVA85A [ Time Frame: Six months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|August 2008
|Study Completion Date:
|January 2011
|Primary Completion Date:
|January 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: 1
12 Healthy adults infected with HIV
Biological: MVA85A
Modified vaccinia virus Ankara expressing antigen 85A from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Both arms will receive two vaccinations six months apart.
Experimental: 2
12 HIV+ adults on antiretroviral therapy
Biological: MVA85A
Modified vaccinia virus Ankara expressing antigen 85A from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Both arms will receive two vaccinations six months apart.
Detailed Description:
This study is designed to evaluate the safety of MVA85A in healthy volunteers in Senegal who are infected with HIV. In phase I studies, a single vaccination with MVA85A, when administered at a dose of 5 x 107pfu intradermally, has been shown to be safe in both mycobacterially naïve individuals, those previously vaccinated with BCG and latently infected individuals. We will use 1 x 10^8 pfu MVA85A intradermally in this study. A trial in BCG vaccinated subjects showed that the higher dose (1 x 10^8 pfu MVA85A) induced a significantly higher immune response but did not have a higher AE profile. In addition, because of a variable immune response, the trial in HIV positive subjects in the UK is split into two groups, the first getting 5 x 10^7 pfu and the second getting 1 x 10^8 pfu MVA85A. It has, therefore, been decided to use the higher dose in order to maximise the immune response whilst maintaining a good safety profile.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 50 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:

The Symphony models are on the larger side of the mouthpiece spectrum creating a deep, vibrant sound with a well-focused center. Conceptually developed to meet the demands of the modern orchestral player, these new models have comfortable rim shapes that provide a nice clarity in attack. The cups of the M1, M2, and M3 are shallower C cups because players have said that the standard C cups were too deep for the orchestral player.

Cloud Expo New York $500 Savings here!
Big Data has become very popular as what can probably best be described as "loosely structured large scale data", i.e., data sets of relatively small files.
In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, Tom Leyden, Director of Alliances and Marketing at Amplidata, will explain what Big Unstructured Data is (lots of large, unstructured files) and how you build scalable storage infrastructures that can handle such volumes of data. The focus will be on Object Storage, which is the future storage paradigm that uses concepts of cloud computing to optimize the back-end storage for cloud applications.

Developing software for the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with its own set of challenges. Security, privacy, and unified standards are a few key issues. In addition, each IoT product is comprised of at least three separate application components: the software embedded in the device, the backend big-data service, and the mobile application for the end user's controls. Each component is developed by a different team, using different technologies and practices, and deployed to a different stack/target - this makes the integration of these separate pipelines and the coordination of software upd...

Mobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20 years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone. Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it. Originally used for person-to-person (P2P) communication, i.e., Sally sends a text message to Betty – mobile messaging now offers tremendous value to businesses for customer and empl...

The IoT market is on track to hit $7.1 trillion in 2020. The reality is that only a handful of companies are ready for this massive demand. There are a lot of barriers, paint points, traps, and hidden roadblocks. How can we deal with these issues and challenges? The paradigm has changed. Old-style ad-hoc trial-and-error ways will certainly lead you to the dead end. What is mandatory is an overarching and adaptive approach to effectively handle the rapid changes and exponential growth.

WebRTC has had a real tough three or four years, and so have those working with it. Only a few short years ago, the development world were excited about WebRTC and proclaiming how awesome it was. You might have played with the technology a couple of years ago, only to find the extra infrastructure requirements were painful to implement and poorly documented. This probably left a bitter taste in your mouth, especially when things went wrong.

PAWTUCKET — The problematic plaster ceilings at Potter-Burns and Nathanael Greene elementary schools have either been removed or reinforced so students can safely get through the rest of the school year. However, the structural engineer in charge of the ceiling inspections warned school officials that permanent repairs must be a priority.
PAWTUCKET — The problematic plaster ceilings at Potter-Burns and Nathanael Greene elementary schools have either been removed or reinforced so students can safely get through the rest of the school year. However, the structural engineer in charge of the ceiling inspections warned school officials that permanent repairs must be a priority.
At Tuesday's School Committee meeting, Steven Tucker, an engineer with Edward Rowse Architects, gave a detailed presentation on the results of a ceiling inspection conducted at six of the city's school buildings. In the wake of a ceiling in a basement classroom letting loose at Potter-Burns, Schools Superintendent Deborah Cylke had asked for a ceiling inspection of all school buildings of the same construction era.
The inspection turned up concerns about ceilings in other classrooms at Potter-Burns, built in 1914, and at Nathanael Greene, constructed in 1918. Both schools had original ceilings crafted in the plaster-over-gypsum board style of that era. At Greene, many classrooms have "drop ceilings" that were installed in later years beneath the original. However, inspectors checking above the drop ceilings found that in several rooms, the old ceiling layer had pulled away from the joists, similar to the situation at Potter-Burns, and some were being held up by pipes and other substructure that had been run underneath.
The other older schools checked by the architects, Goff Junior High, Slater Junior High, Shea High and Tolman High, were found to have a different ceiling construction than Potter-Burns and Greene. However, Tucker said the inspection turned up some concerns about damaged or potentially unsafe ceilings in some isolated rooms at Slater, Goff and Shea, including in the Goff and Shea gymnasiums and in the Shea pool area. All of the rooms cited as needing repair have been closed off for the remainder of the school year.
Tucker said that no ceiling problems were found at Tolman High, and said that Tolman (built in 1927), Goff (built in 1931) and Shea (built in 1940), were in "pretty good shape for their age." He added that Rowse Architects is finalizing a full report from the inspections and will have this to school officials in about 10 days.
Tucker noted that since the contractor had either removed ceiling material or installed a strapping system to shore up any ceilings thought to be potentially unstable, the schools were found to be safe for occupancy. However, he said that these repairs were "a very temporary situation" and were based on the existing conditions at the time of the inspections. "You need to address this as soon as you can," Tucker said.
The original amount paid to the contractor, Ahlborg Construction, to do the ceiling work at Potter-Burns was $179,000. Tucker noted that the extra ceiling work at the other schools resulting from the inspections had been completed for about $58,000, less than the original estimate. Still, he told school officials that they must make permanent ceiling repairs a priority.
Cylke told the committee that the next steps are to have Rowse go back in to the schools where problems have been found and assess the cost of a permanent remedy. She said she has been in discussions with Mayor Donald Grebien about how much in bonding the schools can try to obtain without affecting the city's current bond rating.
Cylke also called for a meeting of the full School Committee with the Facilities Sub-Committee to get a report on what the overall proposal is for the city's schools. She noted that the state Department of Education will be lifting its moratorium on general school renovations and construction in 2014 and wants the district to be ready with a proposal to put to voters.
Cylke added that for the past 18 months, the Facilities Subcommittee has been working on a plan to address the need for more capacity and renovations/modernization at all 16 city schools. She said that the recent incident with the ceilings will shift some of the priority to the schools with these problems.
Cylke said she wanted to thank the principals and teachers involved in the original incident at Potter-Burns and also at Greene for how they handled the ceiling incidents. She added that she has not formally received the waiver for the four missed school days from the state Commissioner of Education, but expects it will be granted. The two make-up days for Potter-Burns and Greene will be June 27 and 28 while the last day of school for the rest of the district is June 26.
In other matters, the committee voted to approve the recall of 34 teachers, and a bid for life insurance to be handled by the Rhode Island Interlocal Trust. The committee also approved three-year contracts for the school district's new chief financial officer, Melissa Devine and new assistant business administrator, Steven Frattiello. Devine will receive an annual salary of $106,000 plus benefits and Frattiello will earn $85,000 plus benefits.
Also, School Committeewoman Joanne Bonollo reported that the "Backpacks to Fight Hunger" program started this spring was a success and had served 150 students at five schools from March through the end of May. She said that plans are underway to continue the program next year, which provides healthy snacks for children who say they don't get enough food on weekends and during school vacations.
Bonolla added that it has been estimated to cost $22,000 to $30,000 to fund the snack program for 38 to 40 weekends to about 150 students. She said, however, that her committee is going to change the parameters to target about 100 students for the coming year. She said the volunteer program also received a $5,000 grant from the Bristol County Savings Bank.
The School Committee also recognized current school Business Administrator Thomas Conlon, who is retiring at the end of the month. He was given a plaque noting his 20 years of service.

The NHL has suspended rookie Dane Byers one game for his match penalty in last night's 4 - 1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks. Head Coach John Tortorella receives a $10,000 suspension automatically due to the penalty.
In a period reminiscent of the cult movie Slap Shot, 14 penalties were assessed during the third period, thanks primarily to a major scrum during a line change near the benches.
Six players all received penalties at the 4:21 mark.
During the scrum, players were also going back-and-forth on the bench, including Sean Avery. Avery and Shane O' Brien exchanged verbal blows before O' Brien took his stick and prodded at Avery.
Despite the glut of officials in the area, no penalty was assessed to O'Brien. The NHL, however, has begun looking into possible discipline.
At the heart of the incident was Byers, who exemplified the tough side to his game as well as his improved skating. Following his major penalty, Byers sought out the Canucks' Tanner Glass and was called for an instigator, roughing, fighting, and misconduct penalty.
However, Byers play was one of the few inspired performances of the night.
Vancouver was able to shutdown scorer Marian Gaborik while playing an overall smart defensive zone game. Similar to New Jersey's style of play, the Canucks waited for the Rangers to make a mistake and then capitalized on the other end.
The Rangers were outshot on the evening 30 - 23 and their power play could not rescue the lack of offense.
New York immediately travelled to Edmonton following the game where they will face the Oilers tomorrow night. Game time is 9:30 pm EST.

A few weeks after the 2008 presidential election, United Steelworkers President Leo Gerard got a call from an Obama transition aide frantic for advice on the collapsing auto industry. Gerard put his numbers guy on the call, a former investment banker named Ron Bloom, who proceeded to offer a detailed disquisition on the financial situations of GM and Chrysler. Unlike other experts the transition team had consulted, Bloom was refreshingly blunt about the companies' prospects, which he deemed grim.

There is a big thank you on the back page of the paper today. That thank you goes to all the volunteers who spent time on the No Grave Unadorned Project this year.
After three years of sponsoring this project, we at the newspaper are eternally grateful to all those volunteers. We are amazed at the enthusiasm of the groups and individuals participating.
And in case any of you are thinking that no one is noticing, except us, you are completely wrong.
I was at the Price Cemetery on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend and I got a number of compliments from people who talked to me about the project, despite the fact it was a very blustery day.
But that wasn't all. With social media being what it is today, many many comments came into the paper about what the volunteers had achieved. Many were directed at the paper, but really they apply more to all of you who gave your time.
Here are some of them.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, as someone who can't get back to Price to put flowers on my parents' and grandparents' graves, it is comforting to know that a flower has been placed there and that they are not forgotten," Carol Degn Skeels.
"It was very heartwarming to see the cemetery in Huntington with a flower on every grave. Even the very very old ones. Awesome job!" Tina Hilliard Maldonado.
"My father in law is buried in Helper. Thank you," Gloria Valdez.
"The cemeteries look absolutely beautiful! Thank you all for the hard work put into doing this! It truly means a lot to a lot of people!! Thanks, again!!" Amy Olsen Ganser.
"This story brought tears to my eye. From my home in Layton, I (and my sons and grandchildren) drove to Price and visited the Price and Ferron Cemeteries on Sunday with my 90 year old Mother (Dorothy Burdis). We have lots of relatives who immigrated from Crete or walked over the plains with Brigham Young. They endured many hardships settling the harsh land and served in many wars. We have a family tradition to honor their sacrifices with flowers on Memorial Day. The "Price Flower" on every grave was very noticeable and it was great to see long neglected graves with at least one flower. Thanks Richard and all of the volunteers who did this. It means a lot to the Burdis and Petty families," Rosemary Kappes.
These comments came from Facebook, but I also got numerous thanks and "good jobs' from others through notes and emails.
What actually brought out some strong response was the story that FOX 13 did on the Memorial Day night news. They came on the Friday before Memorial Day and interviewed me and some volunteers about the project. Once again it brought recognition to what a great community this is and how people step up when volunteers are needed.
Phone messages also came in, including the one below that referred to that story.
"We appreciate the No Grave Unadorned Project. We live in Salt Lake and saw it on the news. We can't always make it to the graves. Thanks for what you do," Mrs. Morgan.
So those who helped do this in eastern Utah should pat themselves on the back. While the television story seemed to focus more than I would have liked on me as an individual, I hope that it hopes to dispel some of the negative stories that always seem to permeate the news upstate about our great communities.
So the project will continue next year too. We would like to get a little more organized and have some ideas for making the project even better. But we need the communities help in some leadership roles to do that.
As of today, I am asking anyone who would like to participate in a guidance committee for the project to call up or email me and I will put your name on a list for that board. We will begin meeting in January 2013 and with your input, we will make the project next year better than ever.
To contact me please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or call and leave me a message at 435 637-0732 Ext. 23.

EFFORT, NOT LUCK IN ISLANDERS' DRAW SUCCESSAlso: Election Day Mini-rant; Live Chat Vote
The 5-4-5 Islanders now have enough of a body of work in the faceoff circle to prove their success is not a fluke. The team's ability to win key draws through most of the young season is a result of…
1. A Scott Gordon-mandated commitment to improving in this area after his team struggled through most of last season
2. The teaching ability and work ethic of assistant coach Scott Allen
3. Dedication to the craft by…
Frans Nielsen – 63%
Doug Weight – 58%
Richard Park – 57%
Nate Thompson – 55%
Josh Bailey – 52%
John Tavares – 50%
NHL-calculated faceoff stats can be misleading because they do not place an emphasis, for example, on a key draw in the defensive zone during a close game over a neutral zone faceoff two minutes into the first period. However, what cannot be denied is that the Islanders have been sharp in this key aspect of the game since the beginning of the season. Their success has played a pivotal role in the team winning four games in a row and getting points in six straight (4-0-2).
In his search for new assistants, Gordon made Faceoff Professor "part of the job description." The second-year head coach wanted faceoffs to be part of the everyday routine at practice – not always the case in the NHL. As much as he wants his players working at draws on the ice, Gordon also makes sure his players are prepared. This is where Allen comes in.
A new video system installed by Gordon's geek squad in the Islanders' main locker room at the Coliseum allows Allen's students to analyze that night's opposing centers with the touch of a button. On a typical game day, Gordon says, his centers can watch video assistant Ryan Ward's reel of faceoffs before hitting the ice for the morning skate. This way, when Allen drops the puck for faceoff practice after drills are over, his players can work on strategies for their 7:00 pm opponents.
"Scott Allen is the same as a coach as he was as a player – relentless in everything he does," said Gordon. "You give Scott a responsibility and he gives you back more in preparation and dilligence than you could ever ask for."
Gordon continued: "In the end, it all comes down to the players. We've asked them to compete harder and they've put in the time. When we don't win a faceoff cleanly, they're battling for possession.
"Fransy has been dominating. Josh and John, for such young players, have really done a nice job. Doug's won some big ones for us when called on. And to my mind, with Nate Thompson and Richard Park on the same line, we have one of the best 1-2 tandems in the league on crucial defensive zone draws."
Lineup: Barring illness or injury, expect the same lineup (with Martin Biron in goal) when the Islanders play in Buffalo on Wednesday. Trent Hunter needs more practice time before he re-joins the lineup.
Election: For the many emailers inquiring about my ho-hum attitude toward today's Town of Hempstead election, allow me to explain. For the last 4-6 months, the Democratic Party had a golden opportunity to ride the support of thousands of voters who cared about the Lighthouse Project. They chose not to.
Kristen McElroy's efforts the last few weeks were simply way too little, way too late. If Kate Murray's political rivals were not motivated or organized enough to take advantage of the thousands of Islanders fans who might have done a lot of work for them, this little blogger sure as heck had other, better things to do. Sorry.
In the short time between Murray's re-election and the holiday period, it will be fascinating to see if Charles Wang and the Town Supervisor get anything done. Wang's deadline for "certainty" passed a month ago today. I would expect a news leak on Hempstead or Queens sometime between now and when Rick DiPietro returns, around Thanksgiving.
Live Chat? You Make the Call: I'm as big a Yankees fan as there is. They are the one sports team in my DNA, via my Bronx born and raised dad. That said, I'm willing to keep my commitment to hosting live chats whenever possible for Islanders weeknight road games. The Islanders are on a roll and the fans have been responding on the Internets. The way I see it, Game 6 of the World Series will be in the third inning when the Islanders game ends.
Your call. Please only respond in Comments only if you are a Yes. If we get enough interest, we'll have another live chat for Go-Go's gritty-gutties beginning at 7:00 pm Wednesday.

NEWPORT CITY – Americans across the country took time to recognize World War II Veterans, also known as the Greatest Generation. Saturday, about a dozen area residents gathered in the Veterans of Foreign Wars Alfred Pepin Post #798 to honor the veterans from that era.
Holding such events is important so nobody forgets what happened on Dec. 7, 1941, said Floyd Ellis, post commander. "I was just a child at the time. I can just imagine what they went through."
World War II veterans are rapidly dying and soon they will become a thing of the past, said Post Trustee Rick Kelley.
Roy Ellam, post senior vice-commander, said the veterans honored Saturday were involved in a historic event. Ellam said many soldiers gave the ultimate sacrifice.
"That's pretty much what it's all about," said Ellam. Americans continue to honor the veterans even though many of them are no longer living. "Their sacrifices will be around forever. Our freedom pretty much all comes from their sacrifices."
Dennis Beauchesne, quartermaster, called the gathering a great idea and said every post should do something to remember Pearl Harbor because there are few remaining survivors and because the attack happened on U.S. soil. Beauchesne said one of VFW's bylaws is that the organization keeps the memory of the attack alive.
Eva Tabor, president of the ladies auxiliary, said it's important to remember the veterans who were there when that attacks happened. Tabor also pointed out that the country is losing World War II veterans at a rapid rate.
"My life would have been a whole lot different if it wasn't for these people," she said. "We wouldn't have the freedom we have today. We wouldn't have the opportunities we have today."
Helena Hicks of Newport City has vivid memories of the "Date which will live in Infamy." Hicks said she was home watching television.
"I couldn't believe what I was seeing," she said. "I knew what the future, for many, would be like. I was terrified for the country, my husband and myself."
Hicks' husband, Earl Hicks, served in Gen. Patton's Third Army and came home a disabled veteran.

Midwest Living Review
Opened in 1946, this mom-and-pop operation, a motor court really, survives from the heyday of travel along the Mother Road. The rooms are clean and fresh, yet the style and decor dates to its establishment. All of the rooms have pictures from various places along Route 66 on the walls. Some rooms are dedicated to states along the route, others to other motor courts that no longer exist. One room is dedicated to bridges. You'll find paneled walls and window units for air-conditioning but recently updated linens on the beds. The rooms offer cable TV, phones and Wi-Fi. But the bathrooms are original in size and complete with pastel-color tile. Bring your hair dryer and coffee pot. The only amenity here is the wall-mounted bottle opener by Coca Cola, another nod to the era. The office is kind of cute with a collection of antique toy trucks and cars. A gift shop has lots of Route 66 memorabilia for sale, and all proceeds benefit the Route 66 Museum in Lebanon. From $47.

The Manti-LaSal Resource Advisory Committee is seeking proposals for projects that will benefit resources on the Manti-La Sal National Forest located in Emery, San Juan and Sanpete counties, and Mesa and Montrose counties, Colorado.
According to RAC Chairman Glen Zumwalt, "The advisory committee will have about $300,000 to spend on projects."
Under the Secure Rural Schools Act, Title II, these counties will allocate a portion of their appropriation to the Forest for such projects. The RAC, whose members are residents of the counties, recommends projects for funding to the Forest Supervisor, who makes the final decision.
County and state agencies, non-governmental agencies, the Forest Service and individuals are eligible to apply. Applications must be received by 5 p.m. August 24, and can be submitted by email, online or hard copy. Email submissions are preferred and can be sent to email@example.com; hard copy submissions should be sent to Rosann Fillmore, 599 W. Price River Drive, Price, UT 84537.
Projects can be on the Manti-La Sal National Forest or nearby land if the project will benefit resources on the National Forest. Projects can be completed by Forest Service personnel, through partnership agreements, or by open-bid contracting with individuals and corporations.
Projects must benefit Forest health, fish, wildlife, soils, watersheds and other resources; maintain roads, trails and other infrastructure; or control noxious weeds. The funds are a federal appropriation, so all projects require an environmental review, unless they maintain existing infrastructure. If environmental reviews are required, the reviews must be completed before projects will be considered. The committee's focus is project implementation.
Applications and additional information about submission can be obtained from Rosann Fillmore. The Manti-La Sal RAC is an advisory group made up of volunteers who have been appointed by the Secretary of Agriculture to assist the Manti-La Sal National Forest in prioritizing and recommending projects for funding from the Secure Rural Schools Title II appropriation. There are 15 members representing commercial interests, recreational interests, environmental interests, public officials and the public at large.
Allred, John McAllister, Dale Jones, Susan Bellagamba, Jason Stevens, Lee Bennett, Jay Humphrey, Stan Baker, Ray Petersen, Claudia Jarrett, David Hinkins, Barbara Wintch, and Gary Kofford.
RAC meetings are advertised and open to the public. Its next meeting is scheduled on Sept. 13, 9 a.m. at 319 North Carbonville Road, Price, UT.
