Celebration to feature Nevada POPS Orchestra
For the fourth consecutive year, Eureka Casino Resort will host "Rockets over the Red Mesa." This year's event is set for Thursday. The Nevada POPS Orchestra will be back again this year, and Lani Misalucha will join them with a vocal accompaniment.
"Lani's remarkable voice paired with the full POPS Orchestra will make for a special night," said Eureka COO Andre Carrier.
The live performance will begin at 8 p.m., followed by fireworks at 9 p.m. The orchestra will accompany the fireworks show. The fireworks and concert are free to attend.
"It is wonderful to be a part of the community's Fourth of July celebration," Doris Lee, Eureka co-founder, said. "We are glad people have enjoyed the show in the past and hope they enjoy it again this year."
For this performance, the Nevada POPS will feature a 31-piece orchestra performing a 75-minute program.
The viewing area for the performance and fireworks will be behind Eureka Casino, 275 Mesa Blvd., Mesquite. Attendees should bring their own chairs.

Put yourself on the silver screen
Do you see yourself as a star on the silver screen? Then the Flickers Film Festival is for you. The festival, which is produced by the Orchestra of Southern Utah, features silent movies made by the people of Southern Utah.
"We are posting the films on our YouTube channel so everyone can share in the fun," Laurel Dodgion, Flickers Film Festival director, said. "People throughout Southern Utah and the world can view the films and 'like' whichever ones they want."
Participants should burn their films to DVDs and mail them to Orchestra of Southern Utah Flickers Film Festival, P.O. Box 312, Cedar City, UT 84720 before Dec. 31. DVDs will not be returned. Films will be posted on the OSU YouTube Channel within one week of receipt.
"The guidelines for the silent films are fairly simple," Dodgion said. "Films can be up to seven minutes long. You can only use instrumental music; no vocals, please. You can get musicians to play music for your film or use pre-recorded music. All movies must be rated G or PG, so all ages will be able to view them. And remember to use those classic speech cards; you can edit them in with a computer or just hold them up to the screen."
Dodgion said all films that meet the film festival's guidelines will be included in the event. She suggests that filmmakers watch silent films to get their ideas rolling.
"Silent film directors had wonderful imaginations," Dodgion said. "They took audiences to the Old West, through tornadoes, into the sea and up to the moon. The sky's the limit for ideas. Just have fun with it!"
Tips, including filming how-tos, script writing ideas, acting tips and even make-up suggestions, are available at http://pinterest.com/laurelkayd/flickers-film-festival.
For information on the Flickers Film Festival and an official entry form, visit www.orchestraofsouthernutah.org or email Dodgion at email@example.com.

PyCon Au 2010
We where wondering if Linux Australia is able to insure PyCon Au under the Public Liability that they are using for LUGs?
The conference is expected to have around 150 people in total and more details can be found out at http://pycon-au.org/2010/about/
We are also interested, if possible, in organizing as a sub-committee of Linux Australia (with the our own books and bank account).
Python is an extremely popular Open Source language and we believe this would aligned with Linux Australia's mission to promote Open Source in Australia.
We are sure that a large percentage of the Linux Australia membership would be interested in the conference. Thank you for your time.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Love Link Ministries Inc, Oklahoma City, OK, USA
My name is Rebekah Boone and I used to volunteer at, FirstIndian Church. I helped with the After School Programs and lead my own small group on Thursdays. I also helped with Quizzing whenever I could get a chance. Volunteering at this church has helped my understand my own relationship with God as well with others. I do not volunteer anymore, instead I am just another attendee. I do, however, try to inform people about First Indian and how they can help out this church or the community around them. Volunteering had helped me a lot with my life. I try to get people to volunteer as well because I know they will love it. I know I did.

Cheryl Strayed's memoir Wild, about hiking the Pacific Crest Trail after the death of her mother and the dissolution of her marriage, was one of 2012's biggest and best books. Even Oprah thought so—she made it her first pick when she relaunched her book club. With its clear-eyed portrayal of Strayed's all-consuming sorrow and loneliness, and the incredible story of her (some might say foolhardy) determination to seek answers in an unforgiving landscape, Wild was our readers' #4 book of the year (and #2 on the BookPage editors' own Best of 2012 list).
Strayed's memoir encompasses so many different themes—grief, adventure, the healing power of nature, the journey to forgiveness and growth, discovering a community of like-minded misfits—that each reader takes away something different. If you're longing for something in a similar vein, try one of the following:
Let's Take the Long Way Home by Gail Caldwell
Like Wild, Let's Take the Long Way Home is a heartbreaking but beautifully told memoir of living through loss. When Gail Caldwell met Caroline Knapp, the two formed a quick, deep bond over such shared experiences as the joys and frustrations of writing, long walks with their beloved dogs and their self-destructive, alcoholic pasts. Knapp was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2002 and died a few short months later; Caldwell's grief over the loss of her friend knocked her flat. Her book is a powerful testament to a close friendship and the person she has become in its wake.
Claiming Ground by Laura Bell
Laura Bell's life has taken many unexpected turns. After graduating college in the '70s, she had a hard time figuring out who, or what, she wanted to be. So she turned to what she knew to be real and true—her love of animals and the land—and moved to Wyoming to become a sheepherder. It was not an easy job, especially for a young woman, but she learned to face her failures and celebrate her strengths, all the while reveling in the harsh splendor of the Western landscape. Over the years, she turned to different jobs (forest ranger, masseuse) and different people for companionship, surviving divorce and agonizing loss along the way. Inspiring in the best way, Bell's memoir chronicles a lifetime of learning how to be herself.
Townie by Andre Dubus III
The working-class neighborhoods of Lowell, Massachusetts, are no place for a young boy to admit to any weakness. In such an environment, Andre Dubus III grew up poor and, by age 11, the child of an acrimonious divorce. After years of enduring taunts and violence against his family, he fought back, transforming himself into a strong, vicious boxer and brawler. Eventually, he turned to writing as a way to lift himself out of misery and the dead-end life he was living, and also to untangle his relationship with his father after a serious injury. Light reading it is not, but readers who loved Wild for its unflinching look at Strayed's sad and troubled family will appreciate the portrait of love and loneliness that Dubus paints in Townie.
Fire Season by Philip Connors
Philip Connors has spent many summers as a fire lookout in the Gila Wilderness of New Mexico, a job that allows him to attune himself deeply to the natural world around him. Though the work is not as physically demanding as hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, it requires long hours of solitude and the close, thorough observation of the forest. With nothing but the sights and sounds of the woods to distract him, Connors can achieve a sort of meditative peace that lends itself well to the daily practice of writing. When he observes that natural fires (caused by lightning strikes) are often beneficial, even necessary, to the survival of the forest's ecosystem, readers will realize that the truths he uncovers on the mountain may have meaning in their own lives as well.
A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson
If you're looking for a lighter take on the experience of long-distance hiking, Bill Bryson's modern classic A Walk in the Woods is essential reading. Like Strayed, Bryson is not exactly prepared for the rigors of the journey when he sets out to hike the Appalachian Trail, and his bumbling efforts and dry humor make for an irresistible combination. Along the way, he learns about the history and allure of the AT and meets a number of curious characters—including his traveling companion, a cranky, monosyllabic and somewhat rundown friend from his high school days.
Take Good Care of the Garden and the Dogs by Heather Lende
Heather Lende, columnist for the Anchorage Daily News, has been compared to writers such as Anne Lamott and Annie Dillard for her gentle but deep-seated spirituality and her love of the natural world—in this case, the mountainous beauty of her Alaska home. In this collection of essays and observations, Lende writes with grace and humor about challenges and triumphs both personal and communal, and captures the spirit of community that infuses her small town. Like Strayed, Lende struggles with big questions, and finds inspiration in the beautiful but unforgiving landscape around her.

Keith Richards' memoir, Life, is shooting up the bestseller list and making the cover of the New York Times Book Review. It's also available on audio—and listening to Richards' life story just might be the more compelling option. Why? Well, it's narrated by two living legends: Keith Richards and actor Johnny Depp, as well as London musician Joe Hurley.
Keith introduces the book and reads the last chapter. Gotta love that accent.
Listen to Keith Richards read the introduction
Depp lends his actor's chops early on in Life. This excerpt is from the opening scene, which finds Richards and the Stones down South in front of a drunk judge on drug charges.
Listen to Depp read from the first chapter
Depp told Entertainment Weekly, "Naturally, a catastrophic understatement would be required in order to fully detail the honor bestowed in being asked to partake in presenting the Life, quite literally, of The Maestro; an individual so legendary, a soul so revolutionary and a friend so dear. It's quite a tale, as you might imagine." BookPage reviewer Martin Brady agrees, saying that Life is "one of the best pop music books ever assembled." (Read the review here.)
What makes you choose an audiobook over its print counterpart?
Two days ago, on March 22, Ella Mae Cheeks Johnson passed away, surrounded by her loved ones. She was 106 years old.
Ms. Johnson was the author of a memoir, It Is Well With My Soul: The Extraordinary Life of a 105-Year-Old Woman. Originally slated to be published on April 27, the book's publication date has now been pushed up to March 31. It tells the story of her life, from her early days in Dallas, Texas, living through segregation and the Jim Crow era, to her education (she was the oldest living black graduate of Case Western Reserve University), to her marriage and family life, to her values as a Good Samaritan, and up through her attendance at Barack Obama's presidential inauguration in January 2009.
Another remarkable African-American woman's life is celebrated in a memoir by Ann Nixon Cooper, whom Obama mentioned in his Election Day speech. Ms. Cooper's book, A Century and Some Change: My Life Before the President Called My Name, was also released mere weeks after her death. She passed away on Dec. 21, 2009, at 107 years old.
It's inspiring to read about these women and the incredible change they witnessed over the course of their lifetimes. If you're looking for a similar book, check out Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' First Hundred Years, published in 1993. Although the Delany sisters, born in the 19th century, have also now passed away, we are lucky that all of these women have shared their stories with us.
Between a whirlwind trip to NYC and her departure for PLA (if you're there, check out BookPage at booth #1100), our associate publisher Julia Steele passed along a book recommendation for Book Case readers: I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced. "It made me cry. On the plane!" Is there a higher recommendation? (Maybe books that make me cry in the office . . .)
Written with Delphine Munoui, and first published in France, Nujood Ali's story is almost too incredible to be true. With no support from her family, this little girl from Yemen took the money her parents had given her to buy bread and went to to the courthouse to petition for a divorce from her abusive husband, who was more than three times her age. Given the subtitle, it's obvious that Nujood gets her wish, but the convoluted system she must fight to reach her goal makes this a fascinating read. Nujood was, until recently, the youngest divorced person ever, but she has now inspired a handful of girls in similar circumstances to make a bid for freedom. Her story has been told by major news outlets like Time and The New York Times.
Julia's passing the book on to her college-aged daughter next—it would definitely be a great selection for a mother-daughter book club.
If you're interested in military history and loved Band of Brothers, mark your calendar for this Sunday at 9 pm EST—it's the premiere of HBO's miniseries The Pacific, based on memoirs by two U.S. Marines: With the Old Breed by Eugene B. Sledge and Helmet for My Pillow by Robert Leckie. The series is produced by Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg and Gary Goetzman, the team behind Band of Brothers.
On an HBO message board for the series, a commenter wrote, "Without a doubt Sledge's account is the greatest WWII story ever told." If you've read With the Old Breed, do you agree?
Watch a trailer for the miniseries:

By Gail Caldwell
August 2010, Random House
An unbelievably honest, moving and heartbreaking account of Caldwell's midlife friendship with fellow writer Caroline Knapp, who died suddenly of lung cancer in 2002. Caldwell and Knapp shared everything—profound love for their dogs, Clementine and Lucille, a history of alcohol addiction and a passion for writing. Read it—and try not to weep.
"I have a photograph from one of those summers at Chocorua, framing the backs of my dog and Caroline's, Clementine and Lucille, who are silhouetted in the window seat and looking outside. It is the classic dog photo, capturing vigilance and loyalty: two tails resting side by side, two animals glued to their post. What I didn't realize for years is that in the middle distance of the picture, through the window and out to the fields beyond, you can make out the smallest of figures—an outline of Caroline and me walking down the hill. We must have been on our way to the lake, and the dogs, now familiar with our routine, had assumed their positions. Caroline's boyfriend, Morelli, a photographer, had seen the beauty of the shot and grabbed his camera.
I discovered this image the year after she died, and it has always seemed like a clue in a painting—a secret garden revealed only after it is gone . . . . Like most memories tinged with the final chapter, mine carry the weight of sadness. What they never tell you about grief is that missing someone is the simple part."
As a new addition to the BookPage staff, I'm trying to familiarize myself with as many new and recent books as I can. One of the books that caught my eye is an advance copy of Robyn Okrant's Living Oprah: My One-Year Experiment to Live as TV's Most Influential Guru Advises (to be released in January 2010). Based on Okrant's blog, Living Oprah, the book chronicles the year she spent trying to "live her best life" as Oprah intends. From reading Oprah's book club selections and cooking Oprah's recipes to trying to love shoes as much as Oprah does, Okrant takes Oprah's instructions to heart, and carefully observes the effects, both positive and negative, her project is having on herself and the people in her life.
A recent book with a similar structure is Colin Beavan's No Impact Man: The Adventures of a Guilty Liberal Who Attempts to Save the Planet, and the Discoveries He Makes About Himself and Our Way of Life in the Process (the accompanying documentary is now in theaters). This book also sprang from a blog (No Impact Man) and is about the year that Beavan and his family gave up everything in their lives with a negative environmental impact. Plastic, television, air-conditioning, even toilet paper was forbidden in their household for a year. Although the rules Beavan followed were radically different from Okrant's, it's a fair bet that they both learned something interesting about the way that many of us live our lives today.
And they're not alone. In the last few years, there has been a noticeable rise in the number of books like these. From books about food (Julie & Julia, of course, which according to Amazon is now subtitled My Year of Cooking Dangerously) to books about religion (A.J. Jacobs' The Year of Living Biblically) to books with a social or political agenda (Not Buying It: My Year Without Shopping, by Judith Levine), my-year-of memoirs are everywhere these days.
So it should come as no surprise that at least one enterprising blogger has put his own twist on the topic: Dave Holmes (My Year of Everything) plans to read one my-year-of book every week, and then write a book about his experience. As he puts it: "After 12 months of blogging, I'll have my own book that will teach you how to be a better person, a better cook, a better lover, and literally everything else. How convenient!" I just hope for his sake that this publishing trend lasts long enough for him to land a deal.
Dear reader: if you could get your own book deal, what would you want to spend one year doing?
Like all of the BookPage staffers, I've always been an avid reader. But after majoring in English in college and then working in publishing in New York, I never thought I had the time to join a full-fledged book club. A few publishing girlfriends and I briefly began "The Bad Girls' Book Club" (where we would only read fun, self-indulgent books we couldn't admit to reading in the office) but we only met twice—and we weren't terribly diligent about our assignments. For the record, we WERE diligent with the delicious appetizers and specialty cocktails—and maybe that was the root of our problem...
After leaving the craziness of New York City for Nashville, I found myself with more time to read outside of work. The idea that I might actually finish one of the many books on my "to read" list was thrilling. And while gleefully explaining to my Nashville friends that I had all this time to read again, just for fun, I decided it was time to start a REAL book club. I pitched the idea to a few friends, who pitched the idea to a few of their friends, and voila—instant book club. We decided our first read will be Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. It's almost 1,200 pages long, so I'm a bit worried we've set the bar a little too high for our first meeting. But I have faith in our group. I'll check back in after our first meeting—hopefully in the next month or so!
What are your book clubs reading? Here are a few ideas, just for fun.

Henry Holt recently released a new paperback edition of one of my favorite memoirs, Are You Somebody? by Nuala O'Faolain, the Irish writer who died last year of cancer at the age of 68. The new edition includes a foreword by Frank McCourt, who describes O'Faolain as "[a] woman who wore on her sleeve, not only her heart, but her mind and soul and whatever else she could offer." Still most definitely worth reading—or re-reading, if you're already a fan, like me—Are You Somebody? captures the author's feisty, defiant spirit in all its glory.
The new paperback concludes with the text of O'Faolain's final radio interview, which McCourt says "shocked listeners all over Ireland." An iconoclast til the end, O'Faolain said she wasn't having any further medical treatment and proclaimed, "Even if I gained time through the chemotherapy it isn't time I want. Because as soon as I knew I was going to die soon, the goodness went out of life."

ofJAR Distinguished Lecture:
John L. Comaroff and Jean Comaroff
Beginning with a critical reflection on the export of democracy from Europe and America to Africa, this essay-which opens with the birth of the "new" South Africa - explores a question of increasing significance across the continent: What might "democracy" actually MEAN in postcolonial Africa? How does it engage with vernacular cultures of participatory politics and with the construction of new public spheres? We take, as an example, Botswana, widely regarded as a "model" democracy - but where, in the 1970s, there was some demand for a one-party system. This case compels us to rethink, fundamentally, our understanding of processes of democratization, sui generis.
Nicholas J. Conrad
Due to the increasing interest in studying the evolution of modern humans, much research over the last decade has been directed toward examining the organization of technology and its relationship to planning as it is documented in the archaeological reco rd. In this article, we use high-resolution archaeological data from the recent excavation at the Middle Paleolithic locality of Wallertheim, Germany, to gain insight into the technological systems of late premodern hominids. We focus on the problem of demonstrating contemporaneity and documenting different patterns of lithic reduction at the site. The episodic data from Wallertheim provide contextual evidence for the curation of stone tools and a level of planning that surpasses that often attributed to premodern hominids. Data of this kind should ultimately prove useful in reconstructing Middle Paleolithic systems of settlement and land use. This work seeks to study Middle Paleolithic hominids in their own right and to move beyond the dichotomies b etween modern and nonmodern hominids that have characterized much contemporary research.

Four aspects of Gabasa 1 Cave make it a key site for understanding the subsistence dynamics of Neandertals and the environments in which they developed in the southwest of Europe: (1) the cave is at the edge of the Spanish Central Pyrenees, an area considered by some workers as a "barrier" and by others as a route of communication between the Iberian Peninsu la and the rest of Europe; (2) it is one of the very few deeply stratified Middle Paleolithic archaeological sites in this region; (3) the archaeological material is very rich in both artifacts and ecofacts, the lithic industry is clearly assigned to the Mousterian, and the faunal assemblage is large and well preserved; and (4) the site has been recently excavated following modern methods of data recovery. The object of this study is to attempt to distinguish between the animal bones that were accumulate d by foraging activities of the Neandertals in Gabasa 1 and those produced by nonhuman agencies. This goal is achieved by applying a number of taphonomic analyses.

The process of the initial human exploration and colonization of Fuego-Patagonia was probably one of a slow filling in of empty spaces. The available information, coming mostly from caves and rockshelters, is sufficient to initiate a discussion on the su bsistence and technology of the early Patagonian hunter-gatherers. All the evidence points toward a generalized diet. Opportunistic use of Pleistocene mammals, together with a more systematic use of guanaco, is indicated. A redundant pattern of associa tion of artifacts with ground sloth, horse, and guanaco is evident. Lithic artifacts were routinely and expediently made on rocks available in the immediate vicinity, with an emphasis on the transport of bifacial artifacts and/or preforms, adequate for s ituations of high mobility. Local raw material was used predominately. Human populations were living at low densities, and space, as well as other resources, was probably abundant in relation to human needs. Density-independent adaptations are thus ind icated. Under these conditions, no major need for niche differentiation existed, and it is not necessary to postulate specialized use of parts of the ecosystem.

Firefighters stand in the rubble of a Colorado Springs, Colo., neighborhood burned by wildfires on June 29. (Brendan Smialowski / AFP via GettyImages)
Thousands of seasonal wildland firefighters are immediately eligible for federal health benefits under an interim regulation published Tuesday by the Office of Personnel Management.
Up to now, those firefighters, employed by the Agriculture and Interior departments, have been unable to enroll in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Plan because they work less than six months a year. An online petition started in late May gathered more than 126,000 signatures in support of providing coverage. The National Federation of Federal Employees, which represents firefighters, also endorsed the move.
After visiting the scene of a devastating wildfire in Colorado last month, President Obama ordered OPM to find a way to extend coverage to those temporary employees while they are on the job. Under the new program, firefighters will have the option of continuing coverage at their own expense when their seasonal stints are done, OPM John Berry said in a news release Tuesday.
The interim regulation has a 60-day public comment period. OPM officials plan to provide more advice on enrollment and administration through the Chief Human Capital Officers Council and will also formally notify agency benefits officers, the agency said in the release. Each agency "is then responsible for outreach, education and enrollment processing of eligible employees," according to the release.

AIA/HUD Secretary Awards Recognize Three Outstanding Housing Projects
Contact: Matt Tinder
For immediate release:
Washington, D.C. – June 5, 2012 – The American Institute of Architects' (AIA) Housing and Custom Residential Knowledge Community, in conjunction with the Office of the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD), recognized three recipients of the 2012 AIA/HUD Secretary Awards. The categories of the program include (1) Excellence in Affordable Housing Design (2) Creating Community Connection Award (3) Community-Informed Design Award (4) Housing Accessibility - Alan J. Rothman Award (no recipient selected this year). These awards demonstrate that design matters, and the recipient projects offer examples of important developments in the housing industry.
The jury for the 2012 AIA/HUD Secretary Awards includes: Sandra A. LaFontaine, AIA, (chair), LaFontaine Architecture and Design; Allison Arieff, New York Times; Luis Borray, Assoc. AIA, U.S. Dept. of Housing & Urban Development; Sara E. Caples, AIA, Caples Jefferson Architects; Regina C. Gray, PhD, U.S. Dept. of Housing & Urban Development, Jerome King, FAIA, The Office of Jerome King, and Bill Moore, AIA, Sprocket Design Build, Inc.
The descriptions below give a brief summary of the projects. You can learn more about these projects by clicking on the name of the project/firm name. If you are interested in obtaining high resolution images, please contact Matt Tinder at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Category One: Excellence in Affordable Housing Design Award
Drs. Julian and Raye Richardson Apartments; San Francisco
David Baker + Partners Architects
As a mixed-use single room occupancy building, it provides 120 permanent supportive studio apartments for formerly homeless residents, many of whom have mental and physical disabilities. The design is responsive to their needs, balancing independence with security, maximizing a constricted site to meet program needs, and creating attractive homes and community spaces. This five-story structure draws inspiration from its surroundings, both standing out and fitting in with the neighborhood fabric. Focus on the natural beauty of materials — zinc, concrete, and salvaged wood — and on the iconic corner, entry, and shared spaces has created a building with a strong identity and sense of place. A landscaped courtyard, second-level deck, and roof garden provide social opportunities and address community concerns about loitering. Well-lit sidewalks, permeable paving, plantings, and bike racks make for a safe, active addition to the streetscape. The retail corner is to house a social-service bakery/café that will offer jobs and job training to residents.
Category Two: Creating Community Connection Award
Bud Clark Commons; Portland, Oregon
Holst Architecture
Through a combination of low-income housing tax credits, urban renewal funding, and HUD Recovery Act dollars, Bud Clark Commons, a service and shelter for the homeless project opened in 2011. It is now setting a new standard for services by joining permanent supportive housing and temporary shelter with a community resource center. Bud Clark Commons offers a day center with access to services, a temporary shelter for men, and apartments for homeless adults seeking permanent supportive housing. Centrally located at the gateway to downtown Portland and adjacent to light rail, buses, and an historic train station, this project combines the rigorous programmatic requirements of a coalition lead by the municipal client, a progressive design approach, and sustainable building practices. The building has a LEED Platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, and the energy-efficient technologies are estimated to achieve savings of $60,000 per year. Using the Housing First approach, the mission of Bud Clark Commons is to provide a continuum of services to help transition homeless individuals from an unstable condition to a permanent living arrangement.
Category Three: Community-Informed Design Award
Boston Public Library, Mattapan Branch (Urban Branch Library); Boston
William Rawn Associates, Architects, Inc.
With significant amounts of glass looking onto a major urban street, this stone and brick building creates a strong civic presence that is decidedly open and inviting to the community. The building's interior reflects this same sense of invitation in each of its major spaces. The main reading room, with its high ceiling, warm wood shelving, and "sun grillage," creates a welcoming space for adults to work quietly. The children's room and young adults' room each provide colorful and active spaces flanking an outdoor courtyard. A community room, wrapped in warm wood, allows the library to serve the community beyond library hours. Reflecting the importance of the teenage population to the local community, this library provides the largest young adults' space of any regional public library. Its young adults' room has been designed as an oasis, a lively space with robust technology encouraging heavy use after school and during the weekends.

BlackBerry Bold 9780 pre-unveil preview touts added speed
updated 01:05 pm EDT, Fri September 24, 2010
BlackBerry Bold 9780 gets early video comparison
A newly posted preview of the yet to be announced BlackBerry Bold 9780 has suggested the phone may be much better in practice than the Torch. Quick tests by BGR support beliefs that it may be using a more recent if still 624MHz Marvell ARM chip and that the doubled, 512MB of RAM may go great lengths to improving its speed, even versus a software-upgraded Bold 9700. The 9780 boots in less than half the time of the 9700 and at least superficially isn't affected by the slowdowns that plague the Torch.
Although many of the changes for BlackBerry 6 are oriented towards touch, the testing suggests that the OS may work better on a non-touch device like the Bold. It "works great" on the 9780 overall, the site found, and left about 300MB of free RAM for apps to use. Most other changes are minor and bring a five-megapixel camera along with glossy black instead of chrome trim.
RIM is expected to wrap up work on the phone and likely announce it in October, though when it ships isn't as clear. Launches are very likely to appear first on AT&T and T-Mobile in the US as well as all major Canadian carriers.

Ski and snowboard areas all over the U.S. are again offering discounted and occasionally even free introductions to skiing and snowboarding in January. Professional instructors coach children and adults through those first turns during the fifth annual Learn to Ski & Snowboard Month (LSSM). Last winter nearly 100,000 beginners took advantage of the initiative.
Each ski area designs its own specific LSSM offer, so you should contact them individually for details. Typically well-priced packages include a lift ticket, a beginner lesson and equipment rentals, and sometimes extras. LSSM's website is a national resource that serves as a good starting point for information. Newcomers who don't want to try to learn on their own can bring a buddy and also enter to win prizes through the Bring a Friend Challenge. Here's a look across America at some of the offers:
New England is the birthplace of American skiing as we know it today, and resorts in this region are enthusiastic providers of affordable LSSM packages. Ski New Hampshire member areas each offer a free beginner lift, lesson and rental package during the week of January 12. Ski Vermont resorts have a similar lift/lesson/rental deal for $29 per day all month. Ski Maine's third annual Get a Lift contest includes prizes for families that learn how to ski or snowboard.
Elsewhere in the East, Ski Areas of New York members are offering 10,000 $10 lift tickets for use on January 10 and also well-priced January learning deals. New York, in fact, boasts more ski/snowboard areas than any other state. In Pennsylvania, SkiPA's statewide discount voucher program includes special January learning programs. There's skiing in the South too, and this winter has provided good conditions. The Southeastern Ski Areas Association website and the Ski West Virginia website provide information for member resorts. For example, North Carolina's Beech Mountain is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a $45 learning package.
The upper Midwest is flocked with (relatively) small ski areas that rock after school and evenings, as well as on weekends. Michigan in particular boasts scores of ski areas, many of which are convenient to major metropolitan areas. Discover Michigan, a Michigan Ski Industries Association learning program, is in place at 23 member resorts, and the Midwest Ski Areas Association lists its members' offers in ten states as well.
Experienced snowriders acknowledge, and newbies quickly learn, the West is best. All Ski Utah members are providing learn-to packages at discounted rates. Select resorts with programs in Colorado include Arapahoe Basin, Durango, Loveland, Powderhorn and Winter Park — plus the four Vail properties of Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone and Vail. Ski New Mexico and KOAT offer a $30 Kids Learn to Ski & Snowboard program for ages 6 to 12 at eight ski areas.
Four resorts in Ski the Northwest Rockies have special January learning programs. So do the nine members of Ski Oregon and 13 venues that belong to Ski Washington. The Idaho Ski Areas Association has details on its 18 members' special learning programs. The Pacific Northwest Ski Areas Association includes venues in Washington and Oregon. The California Ski Industry Association and the Montana Ski Areas Association have information on programs in those states. Wyoming's Grand Targhee is that state's sole representative and Eaglecrest represents Alaska.

Urban America has become, by many accounts, a vast, underserved market with great potential for grocery operators. The lack of supermarkets in low-income areas of many cities is frequently cited as one of the links between poverty and obesity: When there are no stores selling healthful food, people eat the junk that's available.
The reasons these so-called food deserts exist are many and include the middle-class flight to suburbia that began a couple of generations ago, high crime rates, traffic and the difficulty of dealing with city bureaucracies.
Because most of the people in the food deserts lack suburban spending power, they haven't gotten much attention from business or government until recently. Now there is a growing consensus that this is a societal problem that should be addressed. Pennsylvania has a program in place that leverages state money into low-cost loans to operators who will build supermarkets in underserved areas. New Jersey and New York City are both developing programs with similar goals.
This change in attitude presents supermarket operators with an opportunity to expand into areas where there is no serious competition and polish their public image at the same time. Urban retailing isn't for everyone, but with store saturation in most suburbs it may be a good bet for those who are willing to do the work.
State grocers associations should be talking with city and state lawmakers about the possibilities of financial and other assistance for their members who are willing to take the plunge. Granted, this is a terrible time to get money out of any government except the federal one, but by the time a program can be solidified things may be looser.
Not every government agency functions smoothly, so a key piece of the puzzle should be a high-level official in an ombudsman role who can make sure the entire process stays on track, starting with the earliest contact between the operator and the city, continuing through construction and lasting after the store opens. This person should have direct access to the mayor or the governor. Store developers need not be exempted from planning, zoning, environmental and other requirements, but they do deserve timely responses and rational treatment when they're trying to help the government meet its own goal of providing better food to disadvantaged city dwellers.
If crime is a concern, the local police precinct should work with the operator and the ombudsman to come up with a plan to protect the store, its employees and its customers. If the cops on the beat give the store manager the choice of paying them off or seeing their delivery drivers victimized by a ticket blitz, the ombudsman should be able to work with the district attorney to nip such corruption in the bud.
While the costs and frustrations of urban supermarketing are greater than you're likely to find in the suburbs, the lack of competition has the potential to return significantly higher sales per square foot right from the start.
And a supermarket can be a big boost to a neighborhood's potential for gentrification, which in turn raises the average income level of the customer base.
Besides, there's a lot to be said for helping people lead healthier lives.

Yeah I get pretty much the same as that, maybe more around the 250ms mark during peak hours.
Are you saying you would have expected a better ping? Or that it's a nice improvement. Meh, I think it's pretty decent considering you don't have to do a whole lot to get 200~ less ping.

A solid athlete, the 20 year old Jankovic hasn't posted impressive numbers in just 10 minutes per-game, but he's flashed some nice tools. Standing 6'8 with long arms, Jankovic has nice size for a small forward, the position he's played exclusively this season. Capable of knocking down catch and shoot jump shots with range, but quick enough to get to the rim off the dribble in the Greek League, Jankovic is a smart finisher with promising mechanics on his shot. A low mistake player, the keys for Jankovic will be developing his body, gaining experience, improving his consistency and refining his perimeter scoring arsenal. At the moment, most of his offense comes from catch and shoot jump shots and basic straight-line drives. The young Serbian-Greek wing uses changes of speeds fairly well, but still needs to refine his ball handling ability and pull up jumper to better prepare himself to deal with the more athletic defenders he'd face in the NBA. He could also stand to become more reliable with his feet set to help him spread the floor. Having made 10 of the 19 shots he's attempted this season, Jankovic has played well when he's seen the floor. His ability to garner consistent minutes will be important to his development in the coming seasons, as he shows a nice skills level, but hasn't carved out an identity as more than a roleplayer. Defensively, Jankovic holds his own substantially better than many prospects his age. He has solid lateral quickness for the European game, but is effective because he plays with a terrific effort level and won't back down from a challenge. If he can pack some muscle onto his frame to help him fight over screens and defend around the basket, he could project as a passable NBA defender. With the rest of this and next season to improve his game, Jankovic is definitely a player to keep an eye on moving forward. His size, length, and intensity on the defensive end could allow him to generate some draft buzz if he makes progress offensively, gains some weight, and begins to see more playing time. [Read Full Article] U-18 European Championship: From a DistanceAugust 6, 2008Let's not forget Vladimir Jankovic, the Serbian native (son of Boban Jankovic) who went off to an excellent tournament start, but fell injured in the third game against Belgium. The swingman, who stands somewhere between 6-7 and 6-8, showcased a decent perimeter touch from standstill positions, as well as the ability to knock down shots off the dribble, but especially took advantage of his athleticism and footwork to score off slashing and fastbreak situations. He also gave a serious hand in the rebounding department, cashing in off his leaping ability and notable wingspan. Not always under control, he still enjoys nice potential. He will play on loan in Serbia this year for Mega Ishrana, and has a long-term contract with Panionios. [Read Full Article] 2008 Albert Schweitzer Tournament: Watered Down MannheimApril 2, 2008Finally, even if not nearly as important as the three aforementioned players, Vladimir Jankovic showed some decent potential as a regular starter and a real defensive presence. Standing somewhere between 6-7 and 6-8, he's a nicely athletic wing with long arms and an underdeveloped, but promising body. Very inconsistent with his perimeter stroke, he neither was able to provide regular production going inside despite his ability to break defenses thanks to his nice footwork and decent ball-handling skills, as he could barely get anything done against contact. Jankovic needs to gain strength, better balance and body control to emerge more effective. [Read Full Article] © 2015 DraftExpress LLC All rights reserved.

After photographer Carlo Roberti attended the Maine Photographic Workshop in 1992 he wanted to replicate the concept in his native Italy. He discovered the country estate in Tuscany to lodge both students and staff and a
nearby medieval castle, for his office, studio, and lab equipment. With the help of the director of the Maine Workshop, Roberti founded Toscana Photography Workshop (TPW), the next year.
Whatever your photographic genre, TPW has a seminar to address your need: black and white photography, arty techniques using infra-red film, nude and figure studies working indoors at the Bibbiano castle, or environmental portraits
using both the workshop participants and locals as subjects. Digital photography and an Adobe Photo lab are the most recent class offerings.
The students are mainly Italian and American. Since many of the instructors are from the U.S., the classes are usually in English.
There are a couple of workshops for beginners, but the majority of classes assume prior photography experience with a thorough knowledge of your equipment. For students who want to try the latest Canon cameras and lenses, Canon
provides equipment that students can sign out for a 24-hour trial period.
Spending two weeks in the rolling hills of central Tuscany at the Toscana Photography Workshop totally changed the way I view my photography.
Over the past few years the program has expanded to workshops around the world, including Sienna, Venice, Scotland, Transylvania, Bangkok, Myanmar, India, Morocco, and Istanbul. There have also been collaborations with National Geographic (Italian version). Finally, music workshops are sometimes available.
Contact Toscana Photography Workshop (TPW) for more information and a calendar of options for the coming year.

To be a mother,
It seems so unreal,
It's amazing how much,
And how strong you can feel.
All these different emotions,
Excitement, fear,
Mostly happiness,
Because my baby's finally here!
He's one month old now,
And I love him so much,
He's cuddly and warm,
And soft to the touch!
I can't explain how it feels,
When I look at him sleeping,
My heart just flips,
It feels like I'm dreaming!
I never knew what pride was,
Until my son arrived,
And I'll do anything to protect him,
As long as I'm alive.
" It's the best feeling in the world, "
People always told me,
I never quite realised,
How intense those feelings would be.
I'm a mother to a beautiful baby boy!
I'm so proud i could burst!
I'm completely happy,
And I'll tell you that's a first!
The world's a better place!
My baby is my dream!
I never thought it possible,
How much i Love my Cian!

It's pretty hard to stay angry, but you can do it.
The downside is that anger always ends up hurting you.
I've wondered about the whole don't let the sun go down on your anger.?Usually it seems likes it is only applied to married couples but?unfortunately, it seems to apply to everyone and every relationship.
When you hang on to your anger, you end up hurting yourself. Maybe not today, but eventually. Apparently anger just keeps the hurt coming.
That grumpy old man with all sorts of aches and pains. Yep… angry! Could be you one day if you work at it. (only if you're a guy of course)
The bottom line is you've got to deal with your anger. Somehow, someway you've just got to do it.
Well… you don't have to, but your world will be a better place if you do.
What do you think? Let me know in the comments below.

What is the evidence base for local public health practices to reduce social inequities in health and how can this evidence optimally inform decision-making about programs and services?
These reports, completed in partial fulfillment of a Canadian Health Services Research Foundation Fellowship, outline the processes undertaken to address these questions and identify 10 promising local public health practices to reduce social inequities in health.
Health Equity and Social Justice Toolkit
Tool review
By Gretchen Musicant
This paper is well researched and offers a practical list of ten ways that local health departments can focus thier practice to reduce health inequalities. The paper is well researched and written. It goes into more depth for three of the recomended practices and helps the reader consider how to evaluate readiness of an organization to adopt these practices.
Health Inequity and Local Practices
By Thomas Schlenker
This working document submitted by the Sudbury, Ontario local public health agency is an admirable product of the Canadian Health Services EXTRA fellowship (Executive Training for Research Application). It examines the evidence that local public health practices can reduce health inequities, identifies ten practices that are atleast "promising," selects three for implementation using criteria based on need, capacity and impact and finally discusses the beginning stages of implementation in Sudbury. It's greatest strength is that it is well written, well organized and concrete, of truly practical benefit to other LHDs serious about addressing health inequity. All ten health practices are cogently presented and well referenced although actual evidence is not. The process of "research-oriented decision making" is beautifully described. Kudos to our neighbors to the North. Please visit Wisconsin any time!

Advances in Liposuction for Breast Reduction
Various procedures have been used for breast reduction. However, traditional techniques have led to significant breast scarring. These concerns have led to the emerging use of liposuction of the breast either as a primary or complimentary modality in order to achieve mild to moderate reduction in breast size with minimal scarring.
Liposuction has been used as an adjunctive technique for breast reduction in addition to more traditional methods for over two decades.1 In 1985, Teimourian et al introduced the concept of liposuction of the breast as an adjunct to breast mastopexy or reduction for the purposes of volume reduction of the female breast.2 In 1991, Matarasso and Courtiss introduced the use of liposuction alone as a breast reduction technique, but this technique was only applicable to women with well-placed nipple-areola complexes and predominately fatty breasts.3 Two years later, Courtiss stated that women with breast ptosis, large areola, and firm parenchyma could also be successfully treated by liposuction alone.4 He noted a rise in the nipple-areola complex concomitantly with a decrease in breast mass. In 2001, Gray updated his experience with 204 women undergoing liposuction breast reduction,5 and in 2004, Moskovitz, et al reported the first outcome study for liposuction as a primary method of breast reduction surgery.6
In the report by Moskovitz, Muskin, and Baxt,6 questionnaires were sent to 117 patients who had undergone liposuction breast reduction surgery during a 4-year period. Seventy-eight questionnaires were returned (67% response rate). Complaints such as neck and back pain, shoulder ruts, and intertrigo were improved or eliminated in the vast majority of patients. Women returned to work in 5 days on average and resumed full exercise in 2 weeks. Eighty percent of patients were either very or completely satisfied with their outcomes, 87% said they would choose the liposuction method again, and 92% said they would recommend the liposuction method to a friend.
Before Surgery
• Of utmost importance is ordering a pre-operative mammogram to screen for breast cancer and to assess breast fat-parenchyma content.
• We routinely employ intravenous conscious sedation for most of our patients undergoing cosmetic surgical procedures, utilizing a certified ambulatory surgical suite.
• To ensure symmetrical elevation to counteract the natural gravitational pulling of breast tissue, it is paramount to have the patient marked in an upright position.
Surgical Method
• Access incisions are made in the periareolar, inframmary, or axillary folds.
• We use 3-mm to 4-mm cannulas attached to a 60-ml syringe, and the dissection is carried out in a spokewheel pattern.
• The patient is periodically elevated to a semi-sitting position to evaluate symmetry and desired outcome and the cannula port is maintained in a downward direction.
• A single absorbable suture is used to close surgical wounds.
After Surgery
• The patient wears a vest garment for approximately 4 weeks following the procedure.
• Most patients return to work within a few days.
• A post-operative mammogram 6 months after the procedure is recommended.
Liposuction versus Traditional techniques
Traditional methods of breast reduction for large breasts are all associated with extensive procedures and significant breast scarring.
The efficacy of liposuction for breast reduction has been well established,7 and it compares to traditional open techniques for certain patients. In a recent retrospective chart and imaging review of 14 female patients who underwent breast reduction by liposuction, Mellui et al7 reported a patient satisfaction rate of 93%. Nipple elevation was measured to be at a mean of 2.57 cm compared to preoperative values. Older patients (>60 years of age) were noted to have a significantly larger nipple elevation (3.16 cm vs. 1.79 cm).
Changes in volume ranged between 695.57mL and 712.71 mL per breast. Radiographic changes induced by liposuction were not statistically different from those found in traditional reduction techniques.
In addition, patients with a body mass index of less than 25.0 had a greater mean volume reduction in breast size 6 months post-liposuction versus patients with a body mass index of greater than 30.0 when compared via the dip test.
Breast Size and Volume
Depending on the breast volume, different surgical techniques may be indicated. Our experience has been that liposuction can achieve mild to moderate breast reduction with minimal scarring. (See Figures 1 and 2) This reduction ranges from 0.5 to 1.5 cup sizes. On the other hand, moderate to extremely large breasts may be best managed by traditional procedures.
There is a subset of patients mainly concerned with excess breast size and weight who are seeking surgery to ameliorate neck and back pain. Liposuction as a sole modality for this subset of patients has proven to be effective, with a lower rate of complications, a higher level of patient satisfaction, a significant return to normal activities, and with noticeable savings in operating room costs. It was once believed that liposuction breast reduction could be successfully performed only in fatty breasts. Although suction removes fat more easily than parenchyma, liposuction can reduce the size of firm breasts that have a major parenchymal component by using the right technique and adequate cannulas. The average breast reduction in patients with firm breasts ranges from 0.5 to 1 cup size.
African-American Patients
This modality also shows promise for African-American patients given the known scarring difficulties that darker-skinned patients can encounter with traditional breast reduction surgery. In a prospective trial by Moskovitz et al,8 17 African-American women showed a significant decrease in breast-related symptoms, a significant decrease in pain, and significant improvement in overall health perception after undergoing liposuction breast reduction.
Complications of breast reduction include infection, hematoma, seroma, dehiscence, fat necrosis, and skin loss.9 Moreover, patients may complain of poor shape, extensive or painful scars, numbness, and inability to breast feed.5
However, while complication rates from traditional breast reduction surgery range from 29%10 to 50%,9 there is an extremely low complication rate with liposuction breast reduction. In a review by Sadove11 of patients treated with liposuction to achieve breast reduction, he did note that some patients may experience temporary inversion of the nipple during the postoperative period.
In addition, Sadove11 also compared pre- and post-treatment mammograms of patients. Mammograms demonstrated increased glandular density and were essentially without calcification. They proved significantly easier to interpret than mammograms performed after traditional reduction.3,12 We routinely recommend pre- and post-treatment mammograms for patients undergoing liposuction of the breasts.
Ideal Method for the Right Patient
Liposuction for breast reduction has the advantages of little downtime, minimal scarring and a low rate of complications. In conclusion, for a select subset of patients, liposuction of the breast can achieve mild to moderate reduction in breast size with minimal scarring and satis factory cosmesis.

On Wednesday, a fifty-four year old Henderson man is scheduled to be arraigned in federal court in L.A. for allegedly spearheading a $15 million Ponzi scheme. Earlier in October he was arrested in Las Vegas on federal charges of mail fraud and wire fraud. He's reported to have swindled investors with false information and solicited money through some Nevada-based corporations.
The federal crime of mail fraud in Nevada occurs when someone utilizes the mail to try to defraud someone else. Consequently, the federal crime of mail fraud in Nevada is very broad because it's applicable to all fraudulent acts involving the mail to carry out the fraud. The elements of mail fraud are the following: 1) there was a fraudulent scheme mean to deprive a person or institution out of money, property or honest services, 2) the defendant intended to defraud, 3) the fraud involved material lies, and 4) the defendant used the mail to effectuate the fraud.
Penalties for the federal crime of mail fraud include up to twenty (20) years in prison and/or a fine. If the mail fraud involves federal disaster relief or if the victim is a bank or other financial institution, the punishment is then up to thirty (30) years in Federal Prison and up to one million dollars ($1,000,000) in fines. The court may also order that the defendant pay restitution.

Editors Note: Yeah, yeah…..another year end review! Tis the season! So, here are my favorite things that have passed through the Twenty Nine Inches review process during the past year. I want to point out a few parameters that I used for what I chose here.
1. The product had to be in the review process during the time period of December 2008 through to the end of November 2009. Reviews that are currently in process I did not include and will be eligible for my 2010 Top Ten list.
2. They had to be products or bicycles that I personally used during this period. Nothing any of the other Twenty Nine Inches staff reviewed on their own could be considered for my list. This list doesn't necessarily reflect the opinions of anyone but me, Guitar Ted.
3. The reviewed products were provided to Twenty Nine Inches at no charge for review. I was not paid or bribed for this review. I will give/gave my honest opinion or thoughts through out.
That said, let's get on with this……
Number Ten: Specialized 29″er Tires: Specialized sent us (Grannygear and I) a few models of Specialized 2Bliss 29″er tires for testing back at the end of 2008. Although Specialized came to the table late with rubber for wagon wheelers, these treads impressed. I reviewed The Captain 2.2″ers, the Eskar 2.3″ers, and the svelte Fast Trak LK's in a 2.0″ width.
Why They Made The List: Specialized tires have a high reputation for performance over the years. Would the 29″er sizes measure up? Well, in a word- "yes". The varied selections we tested covered a wide range of applications and the fact that they can be run "2Blis" was a definite bonus, which helped place the tires on the 2009 Top Ten List. Not only that, but several models are available in different casing constructs, which is a rarity in tires for wagon wheelers. I liked that you can use the tires on different tubeless wheels like Bontrager's TLR rims/strips, Stan's wheels, and Specialized's own Roval wheels with their blue "Stan's-like" strips.
My Two Cents: Specialized 29″er tires, love the company or hate it, are hands down some of the best tires for wagon wheelers you can buy. The varied selection in tread styles and casing constructions is a huge plus that other tire lines would do well to take notice of. If chosen correctly for the terrain, Specialized tires hold their own and in many cases excel over the competition. If you consider that all this has been accomplished in the span of just a few years, it is even more amazing. Of the tires tested, my favorite was the all rounder, The Captain. That said, all three models tested were top notch treads and came in very close to, or right at claimed widths and weights. A very refreshing thing. Specialized 29″er tires: Your Number Ten on the 2009 Top Ten List!
Stay tuned for Number Nine on the Top Ten 29″er Products of '09 list and don't forget to throw in your choice for a Reader's Choice award by reading this post and voting.

Jersey News.- Jersey's Royal Court has issued a confiscation order for just over £26.5 million from a convicted money launderer. Raj Bhowani was sentenced to six years imprisonment in June last year for laundering money in Jersey. Jersey's Attorney General hopes the order will send out a clear message the island will deal seriously with such offences.
Mr Bhojwani was also ordered to pay a substantial contribution towards the costs of the prosecution. In a statement, the States' Law Officers' Department, said: "The outcome of today's case represents the last chapter in a long and ultimately successful investigation into serious money laundering in Jersey performed by Mr Bhojwani.
Mr Bhojwani was found guilty after a lengthy trial. A subsequent appeal by Mr Bhojwani against his conviction was unsuccessful. The case arose out of an investigation into the activities of General Sani Abacha, the former President of Nigeria. Discussions are now likely to take place with the government of Nigeria regarding the repatriation of some of the confiscated funds, which are held in Jersey. Around $170 million connected with the Abacha investigations has already been returned by Jersey to the Nigerian authorities as part of previous asset sharing agreements.
