Wynton Marsalis
Wynton Marsalis has been described as the most outstanding jazz musician and trumpeter of his generation, as one of the world's top classical trumpeters, as a big band leader in the tradition of Duke Ellington, a brilliant composer, a devoted advocate for the Arts and a tireless and inspiring educator. He carries these distinctions well. His life is a portrait of discipline, dedication, sacrifice, and creative accomplishment.
The sound of Wynton Marsalis' band is inspired by the basic principals of democracy. According to Marsalis, what you hear in a great jazz band is the sound of democracy.
"The jazz band works best when participation is shaped by intelligent communication."
This intelligent, hard swinging interplay has made Marsalis' bands the favorite among jazz musicians and audiences worldwide. In the smallest of towns Wynton is received warmly
and enthusiastically. The connection is the music, which mimics our valued way of life. Through jazz music Wynton Marsalis represents America all over the world. In such disparate locations from Prague to Warsaw, Seoul to Wellington, Paris to Istanbul, Santiago to Mexico City, Toronto to Calgary, Amarillo to Portland - you will find Wynton Marsalis sharing his vision of the union of jazz and democracy.
Wynton was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on October 18, 1961 to Ellis and Dolores Marsalis. He was the second of six sons, one of whom is autistic. At an early age Wynton exhibited seriousness about study, an aptitude for music and a desire to contribute to American culture. At age 8 he performed traditional New Orleans music in the Fairview Baptist Church band led by legendary banjoist, Danny Barker. At 14 he was invited to perform with the New Orleans Philharmonic. During high school Wynton was a member of the New Orleans Symphony Brass Quintet, New Orleans Community Concert Band, New Orleans Youth Orchestra, New Orleans Symphony and on weekends he performed in a jazz band as well as in the popular local funk band, the Creators. At age 17 Wynton became the youngest musician ever to be admitted to Tanglewood's Berkshire Music Center. Despite his youth, he was awarded the school's prestigious Harvey Shapiro Award for outstanding brass student. When Wynton moved to New York City to attend Juilliard in 1979 and began to pick up gigs around town, the grapevine began to buzz. The following year (1980 ) he was rewarded with the opportunity to join the Jazz Messengers to study under master drummer and bandleader, Art Blakey. It was in Art Blakey's band that Wynton learned the relationship between jazz and democracy. Art Blakey would always say, "No America, no jazz!" It was from Blakey that Wynton acquired his concept for bandleading and for bringing intensity to each and every performance. In the years to follow Wynton was invited to perform with Sarah Vaughan, Dizzy Gillespie, Sweets Edison, Clark Terry, Sonny Rollins, and countless other jazz legends.
With this foundation Wynton assembled his own band and hit the road, performing over 120 concerts every year for ten consecutive years. His objective was to learn how to play and to comprehend how best to give to his audience. During these years Wynton's strong belief in jazz and his vision for the music revitalized the art form. Through an exhaustive series of performances, lectures and music workshops Marsalis rekindled widespread interest in an art form that had been largely abandoned and redefined out of its artistic substance. Marsalis invested his creative energy in the art of jazz and would not be compromised by financial opportunity or critical pressure. Additionally, he garnered recognition for the older generation of jazz musicians and prompted the re-issuance of jazz catalog by record companies worldwide. A quick glance at the better known jazz musicians today reveals many students of Marsalis' workshops: James Carter, Christian McBride, Roy Hargrove, Harry Connick, Jr., Nicholas Payton, and Eric Reed to name a few.
Not content to focus solely on his musicianship, Wynton devoted equal time to developing his compositional skills. The dance community quickly embraced his penmanship and he received commissions to create major compositions for Garth Fagan Dance, Peter Martins at the New York City Ballet, Twyla Tharp for the American Ballet Theatre, and for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre. Marsalis collaborated with the Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society in 1995 to compose the string quartet, At the Octoroon Balls, and again in 1998 to create a response to Stravinsky's A Soldier's Tale with his composition, A Fiddler's Tale. At the dawn of the new millennium Wynton presented his most ambitious work to date, All Rise, an epic composition for big band, gospel choir, and symphony orchestra which was performed by the New York Philharmonic under the baton of Kurt Masur along with the Morgan State University Choir and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra (December 1999).
Wynton's love of the music of Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and others drove him to pursue
a career in classical music as well. He recorded the Haydn, Hummel and Leopold Mozart trumpet concertos at the age of twenty. His debut recording received glorious reviews and won the Grammy Award for "Best Classical Soloist with an Orchestra." Marsalis went on to record ten additional classical records, all to critical acclaim. Wynton performed with leading orchestras including the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Boston Pops, Cleveland Orchestra, St. Louis Symphony, English Chamber Orchestra, Toronto Symphony Orchestra and London's Royal Philharmonic, working with an eminent group of conductors including: Leppard, Dutoit, Maazel, Slatkin, Esa-Pekka Salonen, and Tilson-Thomas. Through his recordings, workshops and performances Wynton inspired many youngsters to pursue classical music as well. Famed classical trumpeter Maurice André praised Wynton as "potentially the greatest trumpeter of all time."
In 1987 Wynton Marsalis co-founded a jazz program at Lincoln Center. The first season consisted of three concerts. Under Wynton's leadership the program has developed an international agenda with up to 400 events annually in 15 countries. The programming is
rich and diverse and includes performances, debates, film forums, dances, television and radio broadcasts, and educational activities. Educational activities include an annual High School Jazz Band Competition & Festival that reaches over 2000 bands in 50 states and Canada, a Band Director's Academy, and a hugely popular concert series for kids called "Jazz For Young People." In December of 1995 the Lincoln Center Board awarded the Jazz Department's significant success by voting it a full constituent, equal in stature with the New York Philharmonic, the Metropolitan Opera, and the New York City Ballet - a historic moment for Jazz as an art form and for Lincoln Center as a cultural institution. In February 1998 New York City Mayor Rudolph Guiliani announced that Jazz at Lincoln Center was selected to be part of the redevelopment of the New York Coliseum site at Columbus Circle. Frederick P. Rose Hall (opened in October 2004), has become Jazz at Lincoln Center's new home, and contains state-of-the-art performance, recording, broadcast, rehearsal and educational facilities as well as the world's first concert hall built specifically for jazz.
In the fall of 1995 Wynton launched two major broadcast events. In October PBS premiered a series of educational television shows on jazz and classical music. The series was written and hosted by Marsalis and was enjoyed by millions of parents and children. Writers distinguished Marsalis' television series by comparing his work to that of the late Leonard Bernstein in his celebrated Young People's Concerts of the 50s & 60s. That same month National Public Radio began broadcasting the first of Marsalis' 26-week series entitled Making the Music. These entertaining and insightful radio shows were the first full exposition of jazz music in American broadcast history. Wynton's radio and television series were awarded the most prestigious distinction in broadcast journalism, the George Foster Peabody Award (1995). While this body of work is enough to fill two lifetimes, Wynton Marsalis continues to work as hard as ever to earn the privilege to contribute even more
to our world's cultural landscape.
Wynton Marsalis has won nine of the coveted Grammy Awards. In 1983 he earned the distinction of being the only artist ever to win Grammy Awards for both jazz and classical records - (an accomplishment he astonishingly repeated in 1984) and he is the only artist ever to have won Grammy Awards in five consecutive years (1983-1987). Wynton was awarded the Grand Prix Du Disque of France, the Louis Armstrong Memorial Medal, the Netherlands' Edison Award and the Algur H. Meadows Award for Excellence in the Arts (1997). He received countless plaques and was given the Key to over 50 cities. He was inducted into the American Academy of Achievement and was dubbed an Honorary Dreamer by the "I Have a Dream Foundation." Wynton received a citation from the United States House of Representatives for his outstanding contributions to the Arts. Time magazine selected Wynton as one of America's most promising leaders under age 40 in 1995, and in 1996 Time celebrated Marsalis as one of America's 25 Most Influential People. In the spring of 2001 United Nations Secretary General, Kofi Annan proclaimed Wynton Marsalis an international ambassador of goodwill by appointing him a U N Messenger of Peace. In November 2005 Wynton Marsalis was awarded The National Medal of Arts, the highest award given to artists and arts patrons by the United States Government. If you speak with Wynton, however, he will tell you that his greatest reward is the love and support that he receives from people all over the world from his twenty plus years of uninterrupted touring.
Honorary degrees have been conferred upon Wynton by twenty-nine of our nation's leading academic institutions including Columbia, Brown, Princeton and Yale University. Elsewhere, the New York Urban League awarded Wynton with the Frederick Douglass Medallion for distinguished leadership, the American Arts Council presented him with the Arts Education Award and Britain's senior conservatoire, the Royal Academy of Music, granted Mr. Marsalis Honorary Membership, the Academy's highest decoration for a non-British citizen (1996). The French Ministry of Culture appointed Wynton the most prestigious decoration awarded by the French Republic - the rank of Knight in the Order of Arts and Literature. In 1997 Wynton Marsalis became the first jazz musician ever to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music for his epic oratorio Blood on the Fields. During the five decades prior, the Pulitzer Prize jury refused to recognize jazz musicians and their improvisational music, reserving this distinction for classical composers. In a personal note to Wynton, Zarin Mehta wrote, "I was not surprised at your winning the Pulitzer Prize for Blood on the Fields. It is a broad beautifully painted canvas that impresses and inspires. It speaks to us all ... I'm sure that somewhere in the firmament Buddy Bolden, Louis Armstrong and legions of others
are smiling down on you."
The most extraordinary dimension of Wynton Marsalis, however, is not his accomplishments but his character. It is the lesser-known but much appreciated part of this man who finds endless ways to give of himself. It is the person who waited in a dark and empty parking lot for one full hour after a concert in Baltimore, waiting for a single student to return from home with his horn for a trumpet lesson; it is the citizen who personally funds scholarships for students attending the Tanglewood Music Center and the Eastern Music Festival. Wynton Marsalis has selflessly donated his time and talent to non-profit organizations throughout the country to help raise money to meet the many needs within our society. From My Sister's Place (a shelter for battered women) to Graham Windham (a shelter for homeless children), the Children's Defense Fund, Amnesty International, the Sloan Kettering Cancer Institute, Food For All Seasons (a food bank for the elderly and disadvantaged), Very Special Arts (an organization that provides experiences in dance, drama, literature, and music for individuals with physical and mental disabilities) to the Newark Boys Chorus School ( a full-time academic music school for disadvantaged youths) and many, many more -- Wynton responded enthusiastically to the call for service. Immediately following Hurricane Katrina, Wynton Marsalis organized the Higher Ground Hurricane Relief concert (produced by Jazz at Lincoln Center) which raised and distributed over $3M to musicians and cultural organizations impacted by the hurricane. At the same time, he assumed a leadership role on the Bring Back New Orleans Cultural Commission where he was instrumental in helping to shape a master plan that would revitalize the city's cultural base. Wynton has since been a tireless advocate for Hurricane Katrina survivors and for marshalling the will and resources necessary to rebuild New Orleans culturally, socially and economically. It is Wynton's commitment to the improvement of life for all people as well as his outstanding contributions to the Arts that portray the best of his character and humanity.
Wynton Marsalis has been appropriately described as a level raiser whose breadth of talent is equated with genius. It has been said that he is an American musician for whom greatness is not merely possible but inevitable. To date Wynton has produced over 60 records and has sold over 7 million records worldwide including 3 Gold Records. With his collection of standards he reinvigorated the jazz musician's relationship to the American popular song. With The Majesty Of The Blues, Wynton re-introduced America to the joy in New Orleans Jazz. In Levee Low Moan, Thick In The South and other blues recordings, Wynton extended the jazz musician's interplay with the blues. With Citi Movement, In This House on This Morning, Blood on the Fields and All Rise he invented a fresh conception for extended form compositions. His inventive interplay with melody, harmony, and rhythm – his lyrical voicing and tonal coloring assert new possibilities for the jazz ensemble and extend the vocabulary of jazz. In his epic oratorio Blood on the Fields, Wynton draws upon the blues, work songs, chants, call & response, spirituals, New Orleans jazz, Ellingtonesque orchestral arrangements, Afro-Caribbean rhythms and he created Greek chorus-style recitations to move the work along. The New York Times Magazine said the work "marked the symbolic moment when the full heritage of the line, Ellington through Mingus, was extended into the present." The San Francisco Examiner stated "Marsalis' orchestral arrangements are magnificent. Duke Ellington's shadings and themes come and go but Marsalis' free use of dissonance, counter rhythms and polyphonics is way ahead of Ellington's mid-century era."
On July 8, 2008, Blue Note Records released his latest album, a collaboration with Willie Nelson entitled Two Men with the Blues. His other Blue Note Records releases include Plantation to the Penitentiary, The Magic Hour and Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson and Wynton Marsalis: Live at The House Of Tribes. He has also authored five books: Sweet Swing Blues on the Road, Jazz in the Bittersweet Blues of Life, To a Young Musician: Letters from the Road, Jazz ABZ ( an A to Z collection of 26 poems celebrating jazz greats) and his most recent release in September 2008, Moving to Higher Ground: How Jazz Can Change Your Life.
Wynton Marsalis is taking new steps and in doing so achieves a sometimes-mystical radiance in his writing and performance. From his skilled and adventurous composition to his swinging virtuosity, music will forever be changed, and our melodious landscape fundamentally enriched.

In some complex projects, a smaller-scale demonstration project may make sense if it includes complete restoration in case the results are negative and the project is cancelled.
However, in the case of fracking for natural gas, such a demonstration project (as is being proposed in the Southern Tier) is a Trojan horse. Why? Because given the size of the region proposed for eventually fracking the Marcellus and Utica shales and the likely time period involved of decades to a century, there is too great a disparity between the size of the demonstration project and the scale of the eventual project.
So, the main reason for such a limited demonstration project is to once and for all remove any consideration of cumulative effects in the mitigation process required in the revised draft SGEIS by all those concerned — Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Joseph Martens, members of the advisory panel and any members of the state Legislature who would endorse this proposal.
The cumulative effects ignored by any such demonstration project include many life-and-death topics already noted, such as aquifer pollution, air pollution, methane effects on climate change, and health effects on all age groups, nearby and downwind.
However, since the Southern Tier is a political entity and not a physically isolated area, the cumulative effects of the area's industrialization because of fracking on economic activity, including agriculture and related social issues, can be expected to spread north to the Finger Lakes and then north to the cities from Buffalo eastward to Utica and beyond.
To the best of my knowledge, there have been no creditable studies showing the current regional interdependence of south/north economic activity. Hence, there are no creditable estimates of damage and risks that will need to be mitigated from cumulative effects on the regional socio-economic activity from this perspective.
Further, the experience in Pennsylvania suggests that the physical and social infrastructure damage from the demonstration project will not be able to be repaired, certainly not with tax dollars.
Since there is no provision in the 2011 revised draft SGEIS for such a demonstration project, the public responses have not addressed this issue. So in addition to the demonstration project inherently negating consideration of cumulative effects, it is clearly an attempt to sidestep the DEC's review process, to ignore Executive Order No.41 and to avoid the review process under the State Environmental Quality Review Act. For what and for whom? New York deserves better.

A Stockbridge brokerage firm is hosting a shoebox drive. It is designed to send gift-wrapped care packages to Southern Crescent troops, and their comrades, serving overseas during the holidays.
The "adopt-a-troop" shoebox project is a first for Trust Realty, LLC, which is spreading the word to local businesses and schools.
Organizers of the drive hope to fill plastic shoeboxes with simple items such as: playing cards, snacks, candy, reading materials, toiletries and stationery supplies.
"Given the state of the economy, we felt like the shoebox project was a small enough project that people could actually afford to contribute items," said Lisa Lee, managing broker at Trust Realty.
The items, and the plastic shoeboxes, can be donated separately, said Lee, noting a list of suggested items are available on Trust Realty's web site, www.trustrealtyofga.com.
Lee said the firm is partnering with Leeland Landscape, at 1533 Jodeco Road, in Stockbridge, and Jodeco Academy, at 4250 Jodeco Road, in McDonough, to serve as collection sites, along with Trust Realty, at 175 Andrew Drive, in Stockbridge.
"Hopefully, we'll be able to collect at least 200 shoeboxes. That is our goal," said Sophia Townsend, director of Jodeco Academy. "My entire family is military, and I believe the troops do a great job sacrificing for us. So, I believe we should give back to them."
Lee said the three locations — Leeland Landscape, Jodeco Academy, and Trust Realty — will be accepting weekday drop-offs, from 9 a.m., until 5 p.m. Trust Realty also will be open an additional day on Saturday, Nov. 19, from 10 a.m., until 2 p.m.
"In order to get these packages to the troops in time for the holidays, we must receive shoeboxes by Nov. 21," said Lee. "If you don't have time to wrap your shoebox, we will handle it. We'll have a group of volunteers to help gift-wrap boxes."
Lee said the shoeboxes will be shipped through Fort Gillem, in Forest Park. Contact Lee at (678) 284-1414.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn IMF Salary vs. Bay Citizen CEO Salary. In the wake of the arrest of IMF Manager Dominique Strauss-Kahn, CNN asks if the World leader's $440,000 salary was too much. They compared the IMF with The World Bank, and came away with the point that observers say it's the right amount. Well, let's compare Dominique Strauss-Kahn's salary with that of Bay Citizen CEO Lisa Frazier, who makes $400,000. Is that justified, given CNN's questions about Dominique Strauss-Kahn's salary? The answer's no. $100,000? Yes. But for Frazier to make as much as the Dominique Strauss-Kahn or President Obama, and yet be in charge of a regional news website is outrageous. It's not personal, only business. And the business fact is that The Bay Citizen can't justify paying that high a salary given the small size and Internet traffic footprint of the news website.
Mother's Day is special, and not just to all mothers. It's for sons and daughters, too. As an only child and a product of a single-mom family, I have a unique place in life that brings me to visit my Mom each month. I'm fortunate to be able to do this. But some who also can do this, don't. It's too them I say, call your folks. Call your Mom. See your Mom. Because when your Mom passes on, you will regret not having done so. Happy Mother's Day to all of the Mom's out there! Distributed by Tubemogul.
At WonderCon SF 2011, Ryan Reynolds talks about how he trained for The Green Lantern Movie.

Mac Book Pro And iPad Line: A Day At Apple Store San Francisco. This started as a visit to check on an iPad 2 for my Mom. As I approached the Apple Store on Stockton in San Francisco's Union Square, I noticed (couldn't miss) a line of people who were sitting on lawn chairs. They were waiting to buy iPad 2 tablet computers...at 9 AM the next morning. While at the Apple Store, I learned from an Apple rep who didn't want their name used that the people first in the line, all elderly and Asian, were buying the iPads for export and "do this regularly." That's the Apple person's statement. While looking at the iPad 2, I inquired if I could upgrade my MacBook I bought last fall after an emergency. After a good talk, and to my surprise, the Apple Store people helped me. I was able to upgrade my MacBook. That was really great because I was trapped in a situation where I had to buy the 2010 MacBook just before the upgrade. Thanks Apple! You guys rock! Distributed by Tubemogul.
We Need Beer Money Song By 69 Degrees At Powell St. BART, San Francisco. Two men who were sitting on the floor in the lobby of the BART Powell Street Station and singing this really catchy tune called "We Need Beer Money," so I paid them and made this video. Moreover, I will share a percentage of any money made from this video with the men who make up 69 Degrees. They deserve it! They said that they were also going to play in front of AT&T Park before the SF Giants Baseball games this season, be on the look out for them. The one problem is the Facebook page they mention is such that it's hard to identify who they are. But that should work itself out. And on that idea train, BART should have some kind of program to help promote the street singers and performers who are very talented people just trying to make ends meet. They add to the color and culutre of the Bay Area Rapid Transit System. Distributed by Tubemogul.

Professor Yuan-Tsong (Y-T) Chen and Mrs. Alice Der-Shan Chen were both originally from Taiwan and have been committed to biomedical research for over 30 years. They recognise the tremendous impact that genetics and genomics have had on the improvement of health and treatment of diseases and wish to establish the Chen Award to celebrate research accomplishments in Human Genetics and Genomics in Asia Pacific. Professor Chen received his MD degree from National Taiwan University (Taipei) and a PhD from Columbia University (USA). He is currently a Distinguished Research Fellow and Director of the Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Academia Sinica, Taiwan, and Professor of Pediatrics and Genetics at Duke University Medical Center (USA).
Professor Chen is a physician/scientist, recognised for his work on human genetic disorders. His translational research leads to the development of now standard therapies for two devastating inherited metabolic diseases: a simple and effective cornstarch therapy for severe hypoglycemia in glycogen storage diseases and an enzyme replacement therapy, the first ever treatment, for a debilitating, progressive and often fatal myopathy called Pompe disease. Professor Chen has also identified the genetic basis of and developed DNA-based diagnosis for several major heritable diseases, and more recently, his team in Taiwan has uncovered genes/SNPs associated with drug-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome and warfarin sensitivity.
His latest pharmacogenomic studies of adverse drug reactions paved the way for personalised medicine by preventing drug toxicity with a gene test. Professor Chen is an elected member of Academia Sinica and of the Academy Sciences for the Developing World.

What is Early Supports & Services?
Early Supports & Services, or 'Early Intervention' provides developmental supports and services to eligible children birth to age three years, who have special developmental needs. Participation in this program can help improve your child's ability to develop and learn, and can help you and your family learn ways to support and promote your child's development, within your family activities and community life.
In New Hampshire, the overall system of early intervention is known as Family-Centered Early Supports & Services (FCESS). It is designed to "connect" a family with early supports and services, such as educational, occupational, social work, speech or physical therapy, to help infants and toddlers grow and develop, and to help their family in this process. It is a voluntary program, anyone can refer a child, and there is no cost to families.
Why Early Supports & Services Works for Infants and Toddlers?
The term "early" intervention is important because research shows that the first three years are the most important time for developing and learning in a child's life. The goal of early supports and services in New Hampshire and at Community Partners is to "open a window of opportunity" for families to help their children with special needs develop to their full potential. It may also prevent or decrease the need for special help during the school age years.
For a summary of the current state rules that govern Community Partners' Early Supports & Services, please refer to this webpage:

Last week, my uber-crafty sister-in-law, Anne Miller, sent me a text message with a photo of a wreath she created for her golf-loving brother and his wife.
The minute I saw it, I knew it was an original. I went straight to Pinterest and Google Images to see if anything else like it was "out there." To my relief, I found nothing. As far as I know, she is the designer of the Golfer's Holiday Wreath.
The greatest thing about her wreath idea is that it can be themed to different interests and hobbies. Instead of going out and buying a bunch of mass-produced hostess gifts, imagine how much more meaningful it ...

PADUCAH, Ky. (AP) - Necropsies have found that five dogs died of heat stroke at a western Kentucky animal shelter.
The animals were found by an employee at the McCracken County animal shelter Monday morning upon arriving at the facility.
The carcasses were taken to the Murray State University Breathitt Veterinary Center in Hopkinsville, which performed the necropsies.
Shelter Director Ryan Brown told The Paducah Sun that the animals were housed in separate pens in an outbuilding for dogs that are quarantined. He said the building has an air conditioner, a misting fan and three large fans.
Brown said the dogs were being kept in the outbuilding because the shelter is overcrowded.
Brown says the shelter will begin bringing quarantined dogs inside the main building overnight to help remedy the situation.

Hanksgiving, a food drive that started a dozen years ago with only a few Thanksgiving baskets at Hanks High School, has grown to a multi-school initiative to help needy families in the Ysleta Independent School District.
This year, the student-based tradition is still going strong and what started with 10 baskets has grown to 500.
"It's all student-based. They are the ones that take the initiative," said Monica Lopez, home liaison at Hanks High School and Hanksgiving coordinator.
In its inaugural year, the El Paso Times described the event as a "charitable holiday celebration" that challenged student organizations to "collect food, blankets, toys, diapers and clothing to be donated to organizations such as the Battered Woman's Shelter and The Christian Home ..."
The club that brought in the most items would win the Hanksgiving Traveling Turkey Trophy -- a plush-toy gobbler.
Lopez said that the project's initial goal was too ambitious. After taking over in 2001, she simplified Hanksgiving by focusing exclusively on helping feed low-income families during the holidays.
Since then, Hanks High School has worked with its feeder schools to provide meals to more than 500 families. Each basket carries enough items for a full family meal -- a turkey, green beans, stuffing, gravy, mixed vegetables and other foods are included.
"It makes me feel fortunate that I can help other families who don't have as much as I do," said Vanessa Rivera, a Hanks High School junior.
To help meet the goal of feeding a high volume of families, the school hosts food drives around the neighborhood.
"It makes my day being able to make other people's day. It makes me feel grateful," Hanks junior Brianna Red said.
Families are chosen by Community In School Coordinators. They are in charge of keeping tabs on Ysleta's low-income families. Priority is also given to families and students who receive reduced lunch meals.
YISD Director of Child Nutrition Services Michael Vasquez said that a family of four would need to make less than $43,568 annually in order to qualify for reduced lunch and breakfast prices.
To make sure that each basket carries variety, Lopez works with her students and feeder schools. Five elementary schools along with Desert View and Indian Ridge Middle School are each assigned a food item.
The plush-toy gobbler still plays a crucial role. Like the Stanley Cup, the school that gives Hanks the most donations gets the gobbler for a whole year.
"The winner also gets bragging rights," Lopez added.
Since collecting turkeys is always a challenge, Lopez and her students introduced Arthur, a decorative turkey that monitors the halls and welcomes the community to join the plight.
"Hello, my name is Arthur," a sign reads. "Donate $25 or a turkey and help put a feather on me,"
Students go on break Nov. 22 but donations will be accepted in the school's cafeteria through Nov. 25.
The competition doesn't stop there. Students, teachers and faculty at Hanks also have their own race during Hanksgiving.
The winning price for those who go above and beyond the call? An ice cream social.
"I complain about a lot of things, but being able to see the thankful faces, that's why I do it," said senior Nicole Luna.
This year, Desert View Middle School is responsible for providing mixed vegetables.
Irma Sanchez, who coordinates a college readiness program at the school, said Hanksgiving is just one of the few events the middle school does to help the less fortunate during the holiday season.
Hanks and Desert View also participate in "Shoebox for Needy Children." It donates 900 shoe boxes filled with "necessities and small gifts" to children in need. This year, the school wants to collect 1,000 boxes.
"We are talking about children who have nothing," Sanchez said. "It's a school-wide project."
The Hanksgiving baskets will be delivered Nov. 26. To make a turkey donation between Nov. 22-25 please call coordinator Monica Lopez at 433-3224.

'Gay' marriage Emanuel's No. 3 priority
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 11/15/2012 @ 10:42 pm In Politics,U.S. | No Comments
(Chicago Sun-Times) Mayor Rahm Emanuel Tuesday ranked legalizing gay marriage as his No. 3 legislative priority in Springfield — behind pension reform and a Chicago casino — and said he plans to get "very involved" in passing a gay marriage bill.
Emanuel offered the surprise ranking when asked whether he intends to go around Gov. Pat Quinn — by cutting deals with Democratic legislative leaders — now that both houses have veto-proof Democratic majorities.

During the Nov. 5 board meeting Mayor Travis Easton and the Monument board of trustees presented HAP Vice-President Dave Betzler and Secretary Linda Dameron with a check for $1,600.
The donation will be used to help support the Senior Citizen Center located on the campus of Lewis-Palmer High School and Betzler also said the donation helps with weekly nutritious meals for the seniors.
HAP provides seniors with a luncheon every Wednesday at the Lewis-Palmer School District 38 administration building and activities such as Zumba and bingo are available at the senior center. There are also day trips available for the seniors.
Betzler and Dameron thanked Easton and the board of trustees for the donation.
"It makes a big difference," HAP volunteer Allen Alchian, who did not attend the meeting, said.

Their two major programs are senior services and community health and wellness.

4 Similarities of Great Hip-Hop and Great Web Design
If you've ever met me (or even follow me on twitter) you would know two huge obsessions in my life are web design/development and hip hop music. Both of these passions stem from the creative spirit they both embody and also the modern, yet refined, twist both mediums have adapted from their earlier successor. Many people might not relate to the post because they don't like hip hop or immediately connect it to "Rap" music (which is a major faux pas in my book), and if thats you check out some of the music references in the post, maybe you'll see where I'm coming from.... more

State Sen. Darrel J. Aubertine, D-Cape Vincent, says a bill passed Monday moves around limited revenue for agriculture programs to better target essential programs while also restoring key funding the governor's budget would have omitted.
"This budget agreement restores more than $2.5 million in local funding for agriculture and reprioritizes funding to help our state's number one industry," said Sen. Aubertine, chair of the Senate Agriculture Committee.
"This funding will be used to keep our county fairs strong, provide revenue to continue building the growing wine industry, and hold in place essential statewide programs from Farm Net to Agriculture in the Classroom, and the Farm Viability Institute to the Center for Dairy Excellence. In these difficult times, this funding will help keep these programs operating on behalf of our farmers."
"The difficulty of the state's fiscal climate was abundantly clear in this year's appropriations for agriculture," said Dean Norton, president of New York Farm Bureau. "The final outcome for agricultural funding represented a substantial cut over years past. However, farmers are grateful that we were able to retain several core programs and restore some critical funds for research, education, and promotion. New York Farm Bureau thanks Senator Aubertine, Assemblyman Magee and all of their colleagues who fought hard for agricultural funding, and recognize that this year is indeed a challenging one. We have to continue working collaboratively to articulate a message about the importance of these programs to the safety of our food supply and the ability to produce locally grown products."
In addition, the budget bills passed on Monday accepts a proposal from the governor to end the state's role in dog licensing. This move will allow municipalities, which are already required to have a licensing program, to keep all of the revenue from license sales, while requiring these governments to maintain a record.
The 2010-11 budget restores a 4.4 percent increase in funding from the governor's proposed budget and restores re-appropriations from previous budgets totaling $726,000 to keep programs in place where the governor had proposed sweeping these funds.
Restored programs include:
• The Cornell Rabies Program -- $50,000
• The Agriculture in the Classroom Program -- $80,000
• The Association of Agricultural Educators -- $66,000
• The Integrated Pest Management Program -- $500,000
• Local Fairs (Ag and Domestic Arts) -- $340,000
• The Wine and Grape Foundation -- $713,000
• The Farm Viability Institute -- $400,000
• The Center for Dairy Excellence -- $150,000
• The Apple Growers Association -- $206,000
Re-appropriations include:
• The Geneva Experiment Station -- $128,000
• The Cornell Phytophthora Research Program -- $44,000
• Apiary Inspection -- $200,000
• The Organic Farming Program -- $235,000
• NYS Wine Marketing and Promotion -- $34,000
• The New York Seafood Council -- $25,000
• The Maple Producers Association -- $58,000
• Onion Research -- $2,000
Other programs funded in the budget include:
