My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Save The Whales Inc, Seaside, CA, USA
The students in my class all have special needs. My classes have ranged from 2/3 combos to 2/3/4 combos. Currently my students are in the 3 and 4th grades. WOW has bringing their programs to my schools for the past 3 years. The caliber of instruction, hands on experiences and high interest subject matter has made an enormous impact on the students over the years. Students have enjoyed learning about the watershed, the Whale of a Rhythm , the Sea Turtles and Sea Otters Programs. They have become so much more appreciative of their environment and most importantly their responsibility regarding the environment. They are definitely making a connection regarding their actions and the impact they can make in protecting our marine life. Please! Please! help this wonderful program continue by making donations!

Review for Pegasus Voyages, Albany, CA, USA
People who participate in this program are introduced to the history of the bay. They understand the importance of their actions on the fragile ecosystem of our oceans and how this translates into their daily lives. They learn about navigation and how important teamwork is to the smooth running of a ship and well as in life. Students are given a unique view of their surroundings from the bay. They experience the power of the ocean through tides and currents.
I travel more than 100 miles each way in order to volunteer on this project. THAT is how important I think the lessons learned from this experience can be.
Review for Save The Whales Inc, Seaside, CA, USA
This organizations brings wonderful hands on information to students and teachers alike regarding the roles these wonderful creatures play in our environment. Even more importantly the program generates respect for these giants and demonstrates in tangible ways how individuals, schools and other groups can work to help our environment by maintaining a healthy ecosystem for our whales.
My students were given their first exposure to whales, their roles and how to work toward helping to save our whale population. Most of my students have never been to the ocean despite living less than 25 miles away. They had no idea of the way whales hear and the tuning fork demonstration was very personal. They valued the opportunity to see the types of food eaten and to actually touch whalebone was thrilling for them. I highly recommend the program and have actively worked to bring it to my school for all third graders to experience.
Review for Raft (Resource Area For Teaching), San Jose, CA, USA
Outstanding resource! I am a special needs teacher who travels more than 45 miles each way to make use of the creativity and generosity of the persons who make this resource possible. Just this last visit I was able to add a laptop to my classroom, which otherwise would never have been possible. I love the "hands on" incredibly well priced teaching tools.

John Lennon in the kitchen of his Dakota apartment, 1975.
- Filed Under
hotographer and former Rhinecliff resident Brian Hamill found himself on assignment in 1975 for Rolling Stone magazine, shooting John Lennon in his apartment in the famed Dakota building, just off Central Park.
Hamill was shooting Lennon sitting at his kitchen table when the former Beatle asked him to stop.
Hamill said Lennon told him, "I have a couple ideas for lyrics." Hamill stopped shooting and Lennon wrote his ideas down. Hamill took some more photos and then Lennon asked him, "Are you hungry?" ...

How 2012's top money ideas have fared so far, and what's next
As the year began, investors were encouraged to stick with 2011's winners chiefly defensive, dividend-paying U.S. stocks that offered safety and income.
What goes around has come around again. Many of the economic and political concerns that plagued global markets in 2011 are even more acute.
In the United States, investors are increasingly worried about weaker-than-expected second-quarter earnings and when, and if, the Federal Reserve will move to provide the lackluster economy with additional stimulus.
Markets are also tracking the political landscape leading up to November's presidential election. Expect another wrenching battle over the U.S. debt ceiling and fighting on the edge of the so-called fiscal cliff over the scheduled expiration of the Bush administration tax cuts and other spending cuts and additional taxes.
Europe, meanwhile, continues to be a modern-day Tower of Babel, to which investors now can add the sputtering economic engines of China and India.
These and other headline-grabbing issues were on the radar in January when we highlighted 10 investment themes for 2012. At this midyear checkup, what course corrections, if any, should investors make? Check out these money-making investment ideas for the second half.
Go big • Six months ago it was clear that the 2012 market climate would favor careful stock selection and prudent stewardship of capital. Advice to stick with large U.S. stocks and to hunt for yield has proved lucrative.
As for what to do next, global economic growth is an oxymoron at this point. Consider beefing up holdings of large-cap U.S. stocks with solid growth prospects, strong cash flow and a history of dividend payments.
Growth stocks should continue to top value stocks, while large-caps stay ahead of small-caps and U.S. equities outperform Europe. U.S. midcap stocks increasingly are seen as overbought and overvalued.
The biggest of the big, the so-called mega-caps of the Standard & Poor's 100-stock index, in fact are breaking out of a two-year trading range and emerging as market leaders, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch research.
For example, the 10 highest-yielding stocks in the Dow Jones industrial average, the so-called Dogs of the Dow, were up 6.8 percent for the year through July 11, while the Dow rose 3.2 percent. AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc. are the top-two yielders in the Dow, and also the biggest percentage gainers.
Be defensive • An emphasis on the return of capital rather than return on capital has not only given investors a solid cushion, but has also made them money. Defensive stocks have been the U.S. market's best performers so far this year.
As for what to do next, the best offense continues to be a good defense, even with strong year-to-date gains in traditionally stable, dividend-rich market sectors within the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
Consumer discretionary stocks rose 11 percent on average for the year through July 10, while the health-care sector gained 8.5 percent and consumer staples added almost 8 percent. Those sectors are still attractive, according to Merrill Lynch. But the outlook is more cautious for the utilities sector, which is up 2.1 percent on the back of a 15 percent gain in 2011.
Beware sensitivity • Stocks sensitive to the economy are lagging this year, just as they did in 2011. The energy sector has fared worst, down almost 6 percent, while materials and industrials stocks are both up about 3 percent on average.
The one cyclical standout is technology, gaining almost 11 percent on the year so far.
As for what to do next, on a valuation basis, materials, industrials and energy are cheap relative to the S&P 500, but that doesn't make them screaming buys yet.
"These sectors will outperform over time," said Heather Brilliant, vice president of global equity and credit research at investment researcher Morningstar Inc., in a recent report. But, she added, "the issues holding these sectors back namely lower commodity prices and weak global demand for commodities are likely to continue for the coming quarter."
Technology is different. Remarkably, technology stocks are priced lower than utilities. Technology also trades at a discount to the S&P 500 for the first time since 1996, according to Merrill Lynch. Tech stocks tend to have lots of cash, strong balance sheets and generally good growth prospects, especially among software and services businesses. One caveat is that tech's exposure to Europe is the highest of any S&P 500 sector.
Divine dividends • U.S. companies are in the money, and are sharing more of the wealth with stockholders by initiating or raising quarterly dividend payments.
Investors who took the advice at the start of the year to own companies with dividend yields above the 10-year Treasury have done well.
Shares of Walmart Stores Inc., with a yield of around 2.4 percent, are up more than 22 percent in 2012. Microsoft Corp., with a yield topping 3 percent, has gained 14 percent; Colgate-Palmolive Co., yielding 2.4 percent, is also up about 14 percent. Some losers in this higher-yield group are McDonald's Corp. and Chevron Corp.
As for what to do next, dividend strategies have become enormously popular, and with that, more investors are concerned that the valuations of these stocks are getting stretched. Those worries may be premature, but it's worth remembering former Wall Street analyst Bob Farrell's second rule of market behavior: "Excesses in one direction will lead to an opposite excess in the other direction."
That said, dividend-hunters can take comfort owning shares of companies with a history of dividend growth and not just a current high yield. Companies with strong cash flow and a history of raising dividends year after year will likely continue to attract investment.
Small is sometimes better • U.S. small-caps didn't fare so well in 2011, but performance has perked up so far this year, with the benchmark Russell 2000 Index gaining almost 8 percent.
As for what to do next, small-caps deserve respect but don't always get it.
Performance this year is close to the 11.5 percent return that Steven DeSanctis, Merrill Lynch small-cap strategist, has forecast for the group. And although these stocks are lagging most large-caps, they're outpacing midcaps and trouncing Chinese stocks.
Investors considering small-caps should be mindful that a slow-growth U.S. economy will hurt many of these mostly domestic companies. So the general rule of owning high-quality, cash-rich companies applies here, as well.
European surprises • Investors in Europe have been trying to catch a falling knife. The absence of a solution to the euro-zone debt crisis leaves a continent-wide abscess that has yet to be addressed in firm, decisive ways.
As for what to do next, don't give up on Europe, even though many strategists favor emerging markets in Asia over developing Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Within developed Europe, intrepid buyers could find that "attractive valuations and depressed prices could lead to short-term rallies in European equities," Merrill Lynch analysts noted, although they added that a sustainable rally is unlikely until Europe's policymakers attack the continent's banking crisis head-on.
For now, pay attention to what Merrill calls Europe's "best of breed" companies. The firm's recent European recommendations mostly focused on U.K.-based stocks, including AstraZeneca PLC, WPP PLC and Compass Group PLC, plus Germany's Siemens AG.
Bullish on the buck • The U.S. dollar has gained at the expense of the euro, which was the forecast made in January.
The U.S. Dollar Index is up 4.3 percent so far this year, while the euro trades around $1.22 to the U.S. dollar, down from a 52-week high of about $1.45. An exchange-traded proxy for the dollar, PowerShares DB U.S. Dollar Index Bullish Fund, has gained about 2.5 percent in 2012.
As for what to do next, "Maintain a core position in the U.S. dollar," said Christopher Vecchio, a currency analyst at DailyFX. He suggested that investors stay bullish until the Fed moves to ease monetary policy, which would be perceived as devaluing the dollar and positive for commodities and the currencies of commodity-producing nations.
The security of gold • Gold prices have been volatile this year. Exchange-traded proxies SPDR Gold Trust and iShares Gold Trust are essentially flat. Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF, a proxy for the group, is down 19 percent so far in 2012.
As for what to do next, weak global growth is dragging on gold prices. India and China are among the world's largest gold buyers, and the slowdown in those major economies have taken a toll on precious metals.
Gold may have lost its speculative quality of recent years, but it still protects against global upheaval. "Gold is a valuable part of a portfolio," said Nicholas Colas, ConvergEx Group chief market strategist. "It's the one thing that will work when nothing else does. If policymakers make a dramatic misstep, gold is good insurance. If they get it right, then the other 90 percent of your portfolio is going to do so good, you won't mind."
Hail the chief • Presidential election years typically are not the strongest in the four-year market cycle; the third year is. But 2011 was unusually weak; and 2012 so far has been unusually strong.
U.S. stocks have gained 5.7 percent on average in election years since 1944, according to S&P Capital IQ. But the S&P 500 has already topped that, rising more than 7 percent, including dividends, for the year through July 12.
As for what to do next, U.S. stocks tend to do better in the fourth quarter of an election year, once the votes are counted. Third quarters are generally weak, and election years have been no exception. That could change this year if the Fed pumps liquidity into the markets after its mid-September meeting.
In praise of safety • In this uncertain geopolitical environment, alarming headlines are giving investors headaches. Focusing on safety and income at a reasonable price the advice in January from David Rosenberg, chief economist & strategist at Toronto-based wealth manager Gluskin Sheff + Associates has proved prescient.
As for what to do next, a Wall Street adage says that when growth is everywhere, the market prices it like water. When growth is scarce, it's priced like diamonds.
Welcome to the Diamond District. Investors have to pay up for growth. Safety and income is also more expensive. But, again, the goal of investors nowadays should be the return of capital, not return on capital.
Moreover, safety can still be had at a reasonable price if you know where to look. At Gluskin Sheff, clients have positions in consumer-related businesses, including Home Depot Inc., which yields 2.3 percent, and General Growth Properties Inc., with a 2.2 percent yield.

November 27, 2015
AUBURN, Ala. (AP) - A statewide poll by Auburn University's
Center for Government Studies indicates many Alabama residents
could be going hungry because of the recession.
The survey found that 27 percent believe that "a lot" of Alabama families are cutting meal sizes or skipping meals because of financial problems.
Another 36 percent said a "fair number" are doing the same.
Auburn pollster David Hill said the survey didn't ask people
directly whether they had cut back because people would be
reluctant to say they are going hungry.
He said asking indirectly provides a sense of what people are hearing from friends and neighbors.
The random survey of 639 adults was conducted July 6-19.
It has a sampling error margin of plus or minus four percentage points.

I would recommend this item to a friend.
Super Delightful, Great Value
February 2, 2014
We were a little skeptical about this unit based on the price point, but now that we've received this, installed it., and used it a number of times....... wow. Just wow. It is wonderfully efficient (as advertised), the warmth output is excellent, and the thermostat-controlled fan works fantastically. When the fan is on high, it is a little bit noisy for a modest-sized room, but their is plenty of flexibility/control with the fan speed. Also, the efficiency factor coupled with this unit being listed on the EPA website, we are exempt from wood-burning restrictions based on regional air quality guidelines. All-in-all, a phenomenal value.
Pros:Efficiency, thermostat-controlled fan, size (for both basic fireplace insert & actual burn area), ease of delivery & install.
Cons:Very basic look (generic).

The Spice Girls are rumored to be performing "Wannabe" at the closing ceremony for the London Olympics tonight. From left: Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton and Victoria Beckham. / Ian West/Associated Press
It's a starry, starry week ahead as British musicians give the Olympic athletes a stylish sendoff, a Detroit musician seizes his overdue moment in the spotlight and a former teen idol shows the pen is mightier than the hundredth viewing of the same old 1980s movie on cable.
"The Hunger Games": If you pooh-poohed this film as "Twilight" with bows and arrows, here's your chance to realize you were wrong. The blockbuster, out this week on DVD and Blu-ray, is the rare action movie set in the future that not only creates a believable society but raises provocative questions about our own. Jennifer Lawrence gives a quietly heroic performance as Katniss Everdeen, the girl who's part of an annual televised fight to the death between teenage "tributes." Lending support are Josh Hutcherson as one of her opponents, Liam Hemsworth as her hometown friend, Woody Harrelson as her booze-swilling adviser, Elizabeth Banks as an official tribute escort and Stanley Tucci as a smirky TV host. Even if you're middle-aged or older, you'll be hungering for the next movie in the series after seeing this one.
Carmen Ejogo: In a movie boasting many strong performances, the British actress who plays Sister in the made-in-Detroit "Sparkle," which opens Friday, is a definite standout. You may have seen her as Coretta Scott King in the 2001 TV movie "Boycott" or in the hip indie favorite "Away We Go." But her role as the sexy lead singer of a Detroit girl group who's plunged into a world of drugs and physical abuse should be her breakout moment. Whether Sister is onstage singing in a slinky gown or offstage coping with a desperate moment, Ejogo is electrifying. P.S.: She's married to another great actor who filmed a movie in Detroit recently, Jeffrey Wright of "The Ides of March."
Olympics closing ceremony: Zigazag wow! The Spice Girls are rumored to be performing their girl-power hit "Wannabe" at this farewell to the London games, televised tonight on NBC. The theme will be a symphony of British music, from the classical works of Edward (Mr. Pomp and Circumstance) Elgar to the mod-rocker canon of contemporary hitmakers. George Michael has already tweeted that he expects to be there, but other guests are being kept secret. Who else do we hope to see? Since Sir Paul McCartney helped open the games and has inspired Beatles sing-alongs at the events he's attended, he should be included. And would something glum from Morrissey and ultra-glam from David Bowie be too much to ask?
Rodriguez: The Detroit musician is experiencing fame at 70, thanks to the documentary about his odd career path, "Searching for Sugar Man." Obscure until now in his own country yet celebrated abroad, his story is truly stranger than fiction. On Tuesday night, the rest of America will get a glimpse of the talent that "Sugar Man" viewers -- and local music aficionados -- already have discovered when Rodriguez performs on "The Late Show with David Letterman." With mystique to spare, he's bound to deliver something unusual and unforgettable.
Molly Ringwald: The Brat Pack's unofficial princess has aged gracefully and turned to television ("The Secret Life of the American Teenager") and nonfiction (the anecdote/advice tome "Getting the Pretty Back: Friendship, Family and Finding the Perfect Lipstick") as creative outlets. Now comes her new novel, out Tuesday, "When It Happens To You," which consists of interwoven stories about a Los Angeles family and their friends and neighbors. From the travails of a former children's TV star to the protective instincts of a single mom with a young son who'd rather be a girl, Ringwald explores emotions like pain and insecurity as deftly as she used to portray them in John Hughes films. And for all the girls who grew up with "Sixteen Candles" and "Pretty in Pink," this is a journey they can take with Ringwald as grownup readers.

Former Tasmanian talent joins Hobart cast for ExitLeft's Legally Blonde at The Playhouse
- From: Mercury
- July 01, 2014
TALENTED Tasmanian thespian expats have put their flourishing mainland careers on hold to come home and star in ExitLeft's Legally Blonde, which opens tomorrow as part of the Festival of Voices.
The cast includes five former Tasmanians who are making their mark interstate and overseas, including Matthew Garwood, who was part of TV talent show The Voice.
Ollie Reading has become one of Melbourne's most sought-after dancers, working with the likes of Delta Goodrem and Redfoo and performing on Dancing with the Stars and Australia's Got Talent. And Craig Irons has TV credits including Neighbours and House Husbands.
Olivia Burke spent 10 months last year touring the UK with Simply Musicals! in Concert and has also performed in Los Angeles, while Eloise Martyn enjoyed a sold-out season of her debut cabaret show Confessions of a Golden Child last November.
"There's some formidable talent coming out of Tasmania, and they're in demand across the country," ExitLeft's Ian Williams said.
"Craig recently directed The Phantom of the Opera in Geelong; Matthew has just had amazing success on The Voice; Olivia has recently been studying in London; Ollie has been training and working at the Ministry of Dance; and Eloise has been making a name for herself on the Melbourne cabaret scene.
"They are giving back to Tasmanian audiences and to young local performers who look up to them."
Legally Blonde runs at the Playhouse Theatre until July 26. Tickets are $60-$65. Go to www.festivalofvoices.com for bookings.

03/29/99 Are You Y2K Ready?
Unless you've been sleeping under a rock, you know about the computer code time bomb called Y2K, which some predict will disrupt the whole world the moment the new century begins. Public officials say there is nothing to worry about, while independent "experts" predict chaos, pandemonium and hungry people roaming the streets.
Who do you believe ... the politicians or the crackpots? I tend to take the middle ground. I'm convinced Y2K will be a bigger problem than most people are expecting but nothing on the scale of the total economic collapse the crackpots are screaming will happen.
My biggest concern is this: Will your station have electrical power one minute past midnight on Jan. 1, 2000? Are your listeners equipped with battery-powered radios? Is your generator ready? Is there plenty of fuel? Remember, gas stations won't be able to pump gasoline out of the underground tanks if there's no electricity.
My concerns about electrical power are rooted in the knowledge that America's power companies have thousands of computer chips imbedded throughout every power plant in our land. These chips operate switches, bypasses and gates in hydroelectric dams and nuclear generators which were built decades ago. This creates a problem that cannot be fixed by a simple software rewrite. No one really knows what will happen when these chips see an impossible date appear on their internal clocks.
Have you pressed your civic leaders and power company officials about Y2K? Instead of accepting soft answers like, "We're working on the problem," and "We hope to be ready," why not ask for evidence that they're doing more than sitting in a corner with their fingers crossed?
Without electricity to provide for communication, the Y2K situation could quickly degenerate into the worst of the crackpots' scenarios. Y2K has the potential to become a more serious situation than any of us in the post-WWII generation have ever faced.
Are you taking it seriously? Do you have a public service plan for dealing with the worst, should it come to pass?
Have you given any thought to where you should be this New Year's Eve?

*Check out our gallery of children's birthday party themes*
Children's birthday parties have never been bigger, or more of a business, than they are today. Fairy bread and musical chairs have lost their crown to jumping castles, pony rides and chirpy entertainers. The pressure to invite the entire class, and include a prize in every layer of pass the parcel, is daunting, but giving in to it is not inevitable.
Hosting a memorable and genuinely fun party doesn't require an extravagant budget or an army of helpers. It's not about impressing anyone – except perhaps the birthday boy or girl. The one essential ingredient is imagination: throw in a little preparation and a big pinch of love and you have the recipe for a celebration to remember. We've developed four themes that add to the magic of the day and can be as simple or as lavish as you like.
A cherry blossom tea party is appealingly girly without resorting to the commercial characters and themes aimed at younger girls. Perfect for a spring celebration, when blossoms are out in force, this party works best for a smaller group. Decorate the garden with paper lanterns, pretty fans and colourful cushions. You can ask guests to wear a pair of silk pyjamas or provide a pair in lieu of a party bag. (If you're planning ahead, try browsing op-shops for secondhand pairs - they're surprisingly common.) Serve food in noodle boxes and decorate platters with paper parasols. Join two parasols together to make a limbo stick, get everyone up for a round of musical statues and try a game of duck duck goose with a fan instead of a hanky.
Theatrical tweens will love A Midsummer Night's Dream party. Set the scene for an enchanted day with glass wishstones, gauzy fabrics, feathers and wooden instruments. Turn the party into a theatrical event by helping the kids brainstorm, write and rehearse a magical play. Prepare the ground by writing character names on stones and placing them in a basket or bag. Ask each child to choose a stone without looking. Get the birthday child to help you devise three opening scenarios beforehand, then let the guests vote on the day. You can help get the show off the ground by supervising and solving any dramatic tension, but let the kids' imaginations guide the play. Invite parents to arrive at a prearranged time and show them to their seats for the premiere performance. Finish with a magical cake.
A bright, brash circus theme hits the spot for younger girls and boys. Make your own colourful bunting to decorate the party zone by stapling felt triangles to cotton tape or rope. Give simple paper hats a circus-clown look with mini pompoms (you can glue one to the point or three down the front). Face painting adds to the carnival atmosphere, so stock up on brushes and paint. Serve popcorn in paper boxes and hotdogs for lunch. Old-style games are a perfect match for this party. An egg and spoon race, sack race and tug-of-war are as popular with kids as ever. A megaphone and top hat should help the ringleader keep the games under control! Clown-face cupcakes look great and are easy to serve: make a face with lollies or look for ready-made clown icing decals at the supermarket.
A Mexican fiesta is fun for everyone. Bright and bold is the order of the day, so don't hold back when it comes to decorating. Choose cups, plates and napkins in bright primary shades, festoon the entire area with streamers, and use a sombrero as a centerpiece. Energetic party games are always a hit. Crank up the music for a foot-stamping round of musical statues, then bring out a pin the tail on the donkey game for younger children. Older kids will get a kick out of a flamenco competition, and everyone loves taking a swing at a pinata. A blindfold adds an authentic touch to the pinata, but make sure you supervise closely, keeping spectators behind the safety line. Instead of party bags, you might like to send guests home with a mini cactus in a colourful tumbler.

We... try to cover a two county area primarily, another six counties to a lesser extent, and another eight counties to some extent. We do so in a way that is somewhat interesting to most people in the form of stories. Then we chop it up and put it online. But, that is not how people live. I live in a rural neighborhood with a one mile circumference, am part of school, church and business communities, and several communities of interest. County lines don't matter to those communities. I would like to know items of significance to those specific communities, developed by people who care about the communities, to be available to me in meaningful context wherever I am.

Quarrier volleyball players run drills during practice last Friday at Dell Rapids High School. / Luke Tatge/Dell Rapids Tribune
After a trip to the district championships last season, the Quarrier volleyball team is looking to stay in the mix with new senior leadership this year.
The team has five seniors this year Margo Hegge, Morgan Hoglund, Aleza Kirschenmann, McKenzie Rinehart and Cassidy Wright, and coach Dale Solberg said he expects their experience to factor positively into the teams trajectory this season.
I expect a lot of good leadership qualities out of them, he said.
The coach hopes that the girls can step up to help lead the team, which graduated several seniors since last season.
There are a lot of question marks going into this season, Solberg said. We lost a lot of talent in seniors last year. Well be a work in progress throughout the year.
One of the 2012 teams biggest strengths, according to Solberg, is the enthusiasm and hard work at play, which the coach said should help in one of the toughest conferences in the state.
He cited the teams from Tri-Valley, Elk Point-Jefferson, Dakota Valley and Sioux Falls Christian, the eventual state champions, as conference favorites. Sioux Falls Christian additionally toppled Dells in the final district match last year.
Working toward regular season play, which starts in Canton Aug. 25, Solberg hopes to focus on fundamentals to become better as a squad.
Weve got to have patience with ourselves and get better each game, he said. Its a long season. Obviously by tournament time we want to be at our best put our best foot forward. He also said the girls will work on fundamental defense and a focus on blocking in order to compensate for a lack of height this season. But hes confident the girls can put together solid gameplay.
Working hard, having fun and enjoying volleyball thats the number one priority.

Stylistically uneven and filled with symbolism as well as problems such as good music that cannot compensate for the performances of the unprofessional actors, this mix of narration and social commentary by Ron Mann is about a television journalist investigating the unethical practices of a powerful corporation. The company is threatening to shut itself down as a means of obtaining some control over the actions of its stockholders and its workers. Set off against these corporate practices is an inept city council, leaving most of the work of exposing the company's tactics to the reporter. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

The NIE will be conducted from late April through late May and will consist of more than 3800 service members from the 2nd BCT, 1st AD.
NIE is a semi-annual, Soldier-led evaluation with the purpose of validating and evaluating equipment and systems, while emphasizing mission readiness and training.
During the evaluations, the Army integrates network capability and then uses a full BCT to assess network and non-network abilities to determine their impact across the many venues that are significant to the Army's plan.
The event is an enduring Army process and enables formation effectiveness and increased operational capability to provide proven integrated capabilities into the hands of Soldiers.
White Sands Missile Range is more than 3200 square miles of training area. This massive landscape will allow the brigade to conduct the evaluation, while also focusing on battle drills and other tasks such as ranges, convoy operations and air integration training.
NIE is an enriching training event for all participants involved and the event is excellent for Soldiers at all levels, said Capt. Matthew Michealson a health care specialist supervisor with 2nd BCT, 1st AD.
"Another extremely important part of NIE is teamwork and getting to know co-workers on a personal level," said Spc.
In the end, 2nd BCT, 1st AD, continues to remain prepared to deploy and conduct decisive and sustainable land operations in support of a division, Joint Task Force Fort Bliss, or a multi-national force, while supporting the Army Modernization Strategy through Network Integration Evaluations and other adaptive core capabilities.

Housing Starts a touch better as crucial spring selling season just ahead
Posted By Peter Boockvar On March 16, 2010 @ 8:52 am In MacroNotes,Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
Weather impacted Feb Housing Starts totaled 575k annualized, 5k above estimates but down from 611k in Jan which was revised up by 20k. Permits totaled 612k, 11k above expectations but down from 622k in Jan. With both starts and permits, single family and multi family categories fell. Single family construction fell in the Northeast and South but rose in the Midwest and West. Weather notwithstanding, builders have been getting ready for the spring selling season and the last hope, for now, for people to take advantage of the upcoming expiration of the home buying tax credit while mortgage rates remain historically low. So, from an inventory perspective on one hand we want lower starts but on the other, builders have boosted GDP in the hopes that the buyers come out for new homes rather than existing ones. The housing stimulus party is about to end so we'll see what gets squeezed in while it still lasts and what kind of hangover we see after.

No Reservations
Catherine Zeta-Jones, Aaron Eckhart, Abigail Breslin
JJJ out of JJJJ
Available now
There's nothing particularly original in this romantic comedy starring Catherine Zeta-Jones as a popular New York City chef, but it's still a spicy little dish.
Zeta-Jones shines as Kate, a woman who lives for her work until her sister dies, making Kate the guardian of her sister's young daughter, Zoe (Abigail Breslin). Kate's new responsibilities force her boss to hire a new sous-chef named Nick (Aaron Eckhart), and the fussy Kate immediately butts heads with him.
Because the film is a typical romantic comedy, there aren't many surprises in how their relationship develops, but Zeta-Jones and Eckhart have a nice chemistry, and Breslin is a winning actress. "No Reservations" also features some of the most beautiful food shots put to the screen, which is a testament to cinematographer Stuart Dryburgh and the behind-the-scenes crew.
The only DVD extra is an episode of the Food Network program "Unwrapped" in which host Marc Summers talks to the "No Reservations" stars about the making of the film. It's only about 20 minutes long, but it's interesting and nicely produced.
-- Forrest Hartman, Reno Gazette-Journal
Romance and Cigarettes
James Gandolfini, Susan Sarandon, Kate Winslet, Bobby Cannavale, Mandy Moore, Christopher Walken
Available now
The star-laden cast hopefully will draw many people to this underrated film, but probably most of those people will find something not to like. First of all, it is -- very unexpectedly -- a musical.
You'd never expect to see lumbering James Gandolfini, as Nick, to break into song after being kicked out of his house after his wife, Kitty, (Susan Sarandon) finds an erotic love poem he has written to his girlfriend, Tula, (a hilariously foul-mouthed Kate Winslet). But, he does. In fact, the bleak and the bizarre often cross paths in "Romance and Cigarettes."
Walken is the comic highlight among all the swirling shenanigans. His Elvis/Bogie performance (as director John Turturro calls it), as Cousin Bo, is a highlight among a film filled with out-of-left field dance sequences, double entendres, and pop classics such as Janis Joplin's "Piece of My Heart" and Irving Berlin's "Girl That I Love."
Despite the film's odd tone and ridiculous characters, the film is obviously a labor of love by director/writer Turturro, and I fell in love with it, too.
Extras include a director's commentary, Making a Homemade Musical featurette and deleted scenes.
-- Merrie Leininger, Reno Gazette-Journal
Reese Witherspoon, Jake Gyllenhaal, Omar Metwally, Yigal Naor
Available Tuesday
"Rendition" is a film designed to raise questions without giving answers. It examines what happens when a terrorist suspect is extradited from the United States for interrogation purposes. The film does this by mixing several simultaneous segments together. It is done well, but one of the segments is unnecessary.
Omar Metwally plays the suspect who is extradited to a country in the Middle East. He is interrogated by a U.S. government official portrayed by Jake Gyllenhaal, along with a foreign interrogator played by Yigal Naor. The suspect's wife, portrayed by Reese Witherspoon, travels to Washington D.C. to fight for her husband's return to the United States. Meanwhile, the foreign interrogator's daughter falls in love with a young man who gets involved with the wrong crowd. It's this last segment that doesn't fit with the rest of the film. It's a little too cliché and distracts from the focus of the film, which is the rendition process. Otherwise, the film is well- acted and executed. It's a good film, but not a great film.
This DVD edition contains a short documentary on the rendition process, a well-made making-of-featurette that gives a real feel for the filmmaking process, and several deleted scenes with optional commentary from director Gavin Hood. The commentary is excellent, as it gives sound insight into why the scenes were shot and eventually deleted from the final cut.
-- Tony Osio, Reno Gazette-Journal
Across the Universe: Two-Disc Special Edition
Evan Rachel Wood, Jim Sturgess, Joe Anderson
Available now
As a movie, "Across the Universe" has significant flaws, including a lightweight plot and a couple of musical sequences that just don't work. But viewed as a two-hour music video, there's a lot to like.
Essentially, the film relates the tumult of the 1960s through scenes and musical sequences built on the Beatles songbook, and director Julie Taymor is a master at using high-end special effects to create a mood. She also assembled a fine cast of mostly unknown performers to sell the musical numbers, and Evan Rachel Wood is a revelation as a singer.
The movie is presented on a two-DVD set with a wonderful collection of extras. Disc one features an excellent audio commentary with Taymor and music producer/composer Elliot Goldenthal, a nice photo gallery, a deleted scene and alternate takes of Eddie Izzard's annoying rendition of "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite." Disc two is anchored by an outstanding collection of extended musical sequences and it also includes a collection of well-produced features on the making of the film.
-- Hartman
The Heartbreak Kid
Ben Stiller, Michelle Monaghan, Malin Akerman, Jerry Stiller
Available now
Filmmaking brothers Peter and Bobby Farrelly have taken the 1972 version of "The Heartbreak Kid" and turned it on its ear, adding gross-out jokes and vulgarities that original screenwriter Neil Simon would have never considered. That isn't, however, a liability.
Folks who like the Farrelly's offbeat -- and often dirty -- sense of humor should give the movie a spin because it's the most consistently funny picture they've made since "There's Something About Mary."
Ben Stiller stars as Eddie, a commitment-phobic sporting goods store owner who decides to turn over a new leaf by marrying his girlfriend (Malin Akerman) after only six weeks of courtship. Several days of not-so-blissful marriage later, Eddie begins to think he's made a mistake. And he's convinced of that when he meets another woman (Michelle Monaghan) on his honeymoon. This provides the Farrellys with plenty of good comic ground, and they make the most of it.
The DVD extras include a solid audio commentary by the Farrellys, some deleted scenes, a gag reel, and a nice making-of feature that looks not only at "The Heartbreak Kid" but the beginning of the Farrelly's filmmaking career.
-- Hartman
Martian Child
John Cusack, Bobby Coleman, Amanda Peet, Joan Cusack
JJ ½ stars
Available now
"Martian Child," which features John Cusack as a widower who decides to adopt an outcast boy, has its heart in the right place but the film never really hits its stride.
Cusack is David, a science fiction writer who hopes to make a difference in the life of Dennis (Bobby Coleman), a boy who says he's from Mars. Certainly, the film says nice things about humanity and the benefits of adoption, but the storytelling bogs in too many subplots that are either unexplored or under-explored.
The DVD features a solid filmmakers' commentary, a large collection of deleted scenes and a couple decent features on the background of and making of the film.

We came to Gator Park to see the Gator show. It was convenient to stay here, as Gator Park was located halfway between our two stops. We stayed for a night and while the campground is not luxurious, we did not have any issues. There was no laundry room or central bathrooms. Our spot, #20, only had electric and water but we did see some sites with sewer. After the park closed at 5:00 PM, the area calmed down considerably and overnight we were not disturbed. I think $30 a night for what is offered is a bit high. $25 would be more appropriate. Would I recommend this park? For a single night. Would we come back? Not likely. We will explore another campground next time. - Dr. Moreau
Apr 2012 - $30.00
First, let me say the area is beautiful. Just a few miles west are some great air boat rides and Shark Valley is the place to go to see abundant wildlife. However, this RV park is by far the worst I have ever seen. The staff was rude and indifferent. The road was in poor condition and the grass at the campsites was tall. The water constantly looked and smelled rusty. It was so bad it even stained our shower and commode. Some full time residents were dumping waste water on the ground and a strong odor emanated from that. The power was unreliable as well. As we were leaving we discovered there was no water available at the dump station to clean our hose or the area. If you must stay here be sure to bring your own water and don't even try to bathe in that stuff. If you can at all, skip this place entirely. I sure do wish we had. - User2063
Apr 2009 - $30.00
The people were very rude and after their cursing they told us they make their money from the Europeans taking the airboat rides and don't need campers. Also they get their camping money from the Europeans staying with them. - tandkj

Miami-Dade County Park. Very quiet, well kept/neat & pleasant park w/a pleasant staff. Older park so the sites are short and don't have patios (except handicap sites). I had to "overhang" our 39' 5er off the rear of the pad & still had to park the truck sideways in front. Nice pool (11-5 only) w/lifeguard. No cable but free WiFi. Heavy traffic once outside the park. Adjacent to the Miami Zoo. Abundant/variety of shopping is close. Great place to start for day trips to the Keys (45 min. to Key Largo) if you don't want to stay in the expensive resorts on the keys. We stayed a month for $565 including taxes. - rracer5
Apr 2015 - $18.00
This was our second time to stay here and we will be returning next year. It is great camping area in a county park next to the zoo. The sites are large in a circle formation, so you get good views of the trees and grass and not your neighbor. There is a nice pool, clean showers and restrooms, and adequate laundry facilities. The free wifi is supplied by the county and they block Netflix, but in general we got good reception. - A-J

This is one of those hidden gems you hear about on the road. We chose to stay here since we couldn't find a reasonably priced campground in the Keys with availability and are glad we did. The sites are arranged in a cul-de-sac layout with sites in the middle as well. Everything about the park was great. Power, water, wifi and laundry. Its about an hour drive to Key Largo from the campground so day trips were frequent. Its on the south side of Miami so getting to the beach area or downtown made for quite a trip. Lots of traffic around the city, but a little less near the campground. At the time we were there, it was full of mostly snowbird residents and was very quiet with lots of nice people to chat with. Many were amazed we got our reservation on such short notice, only about a week prior. You just can't beat the price for the location and time of year, the rate is based on a weekly rate. If we return to Miami, we will definitely stay at Larry & Penny Thompson Park again! - pfogleboch

Park is in the middle of nowhere, at least 15 minutes on country roads to anything. Sites are grass and ours was not level and became a lake during the rain. Lots of biting bugs. Office staff not friendly. Weird layout with 8 roads into the sites and one to exit, all one lane. There is a large play ground that includes a tennis court but it is not fenced so never saw anyone playing. - kegmaster

From the looks of it, this appears to be a former KOA. It does not matter because arriving in this campground and seeing the grounds was a pleasant surprise. This is quite a large RV park and most of the sites are generous in size. We stayed here for several days in a 45ft motorhome on a site with 50A service. Finding this park is easy. Just follow the directions. The park is easy to enter and the interior paved roads are wide enough to move around and get onto your site.
One very unique feature found in this park is a walking / running / biking loop which goes along the entire perimeter of the campground. The total distance is almost 1 mile.
The official address for the park is in Miami and it is bordering on to Homestead. Miami is a huge city. Getting into town from the campground takes about 30 minutes. There is tons of stuff to do there and this RV park is a very good base to stay at if you wish to explore Miami.
Nearby are 2 Walmarts, a Publix grocery store as well as a Walgreen and CVS.
This is a RV park we will gladly visit again in the future. - Olivia Las Vegas

A very nice park. Very friendly staff. Had a great site, 255. Lots of shade and right across from a big field plus the playground. Great for the kids. Only complaint is no golf carts allowed. I don't understand this rule if your cart is insured. Good water pressure, good sewer, good cable, good electric but wifi was a joke. Signal was very poor. Overall a nice experience. We will be back. - AlexJ

WINDHAM – Americans for Prosperity (AFP) – New Hampshire today said that comments by Rep. David Campbell, sponsor of the plan to increase the state's gas tax by 83%, demonstrate his commitment to big government and a major disregard for New Hampshire taxpayers.
"Tax dollars are not a gift to the government. Tax money generated in this state represents the hard work of NH families and businesses and for Rep. Campbell to refer to taxes raised as 'bonus monies' is egregious and insulting," said Corey R. Lewandowski, State Director of Americans for Prosperity-New Hampshire. "Rep. Campbell has put his focus on how he can spend the hard-earned money of the people paying the bills ahead of our working families who are struggling to deal with record high gas prices."
Representative Campbell's bill (HB 617) will raise the state tax on gasoline 83%. The bill will be up for a vote in the House on Wednesday. If passed, the bill would increase the state's gas tax from $0.18/gallon, the lowest in New England, to $0.33/gallon, which would only trail Connecticut in the region. In advance of the vote, Representative Campbell wrote in an email that the tax represented "the gift that keeps on giving" and cautioned fellow Democrat lawmakers "Don't spend it all in one place!"
"Representative Campbell's comments show he views the people of this state as revenue generators – as a means to pay for his expanded and unnecessary government programs. We urge the House to oppose Representative Campbell's view of our taxpayers and vote against HB 617," added Lewandowski. "It's time to put the needs of our citizens before the goal of expanding state government at all costs."

|Palisade Vessels as a New Histologic Marker of Esophageal Origin in ER Specimens From Columnar-Lined Esophagus.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21716084 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|It is difficult for surgical pathologists to determine the origin of tissues in samples taken from the columnar-lined esophagus (CLE) or stomach by biopsy or endoscopic resection (ER) on the basis of histologic examination alone. We examined histopathologically a single section (5 to 22 mm in size; mean, 12 mm) from each of 66 cases of CLE (36 short segments, 30 long segments) from German patients with reference to 3 histologic markers of esophageal origin: esophageal glands proper and/or ducts, squamous islands, and double muscularis mucosae, all of which had been reported previously, and palisade vessels as a new histologic parameter as well. Palisade vessels were defined histologically as veins >100 μm in size in and above the original muscularis mucosae. Esophageal glands proper and/or ducts, squamous islands, and double muscularis mucosae were seen in 33%, 18%, and 71% of the specimens, respectively. Palisade longitudinal vessels were observed in 78% and 63% of specimens of short-segment and long-segment CLE, respectively. Palisade vessels were never seen in ER specimens from the stomach or in the middle esophagus and stomach among control autopsy specimens. At least 1 of these 4 markers was seen in 88% of the sections. Therefore, ER specimens were confirmed to originate from CLE in 88% of single histologic sections of CLE on the basis of histologic examination alone.

Partners in Fieldwork
Urban Wildlife Field Research at Local High Schools
Launched in the fall of 2013, this year-long program engages high school youth in research activities that support the work of the zoo's Urban Wildlife Institute. Students work with their teachers to collect data on local wildlife at their school site using non-invasive techniques such as camera traps (pictured above with participating high school teachers), bird surveys and bat monitors. Teachers and students will receive all the training they need in order to participate successfully.
Partners in Fieldwork Program Goals
- Engage Chicago youth as participants in the authentic research of Lincoln Park Zoo scientists.
- Increase understanding about methods used for studying wildlife.
- Raise awareness about the diversity of Chicago wildlife.
- Provide educators with authentic experiences to augment the classroom life-science curriculum with research activities.
- Encourage youth to explore nature outside of school hours.
- Collect useful data for the Urban Wildlife Institute.
Partners in Fieldwork Program Components
The Partners in Fieldwork program focuses on training youth and teachers to collect data and share their research with the zoo's Urban Wildlife Institute as well as their school community. The program consists of five key components:
Component 1: Professional Development Workshops
Conducted at Lincoln Park Zoo, these workshops prepare participating teachers to assist students in data collection, learn more about the animals and research at the zoo and collaborate with fellow participants.
Component 2: School Site Visits
Four times throughout the year a zoo educator visits participating schools to help students develop authentic research skills that allow students to collect data that will be used by Urban Wildlife Institute scientists.
Component 3: Field Trips
Participating students will take two field trips, one to visit the zoo to conduct research near Nature Boardwalk at Lincoln Park Zoo and the other to conduct research in a local natural area.
Component 4: Ongoing Research
Students will conduct ongoing research on school grounds and in the surrounding neighborhood, employing techniques used to study local wildlife.
Component 5: Zoo Family Day
The culminating event, Zoo Family Day, is held at Lincoln Park Zoo and is an opportunity for students to demonstrate to their families what they learned throughout the year, to meet zoo researchers and hear how they are using the data collected by the schools.

Most women have healthy pregnancies and their babies are born without difficulties. However, women with high-risk pregnancies often need to be closely watched for potential problems or complications. Fortunately, there are many tests and procedures to monitor the health of both mother and baby. Many of these pose little or no risk and can provide tremendous amounts of information to doctors, midwives, and expectant parents. Some types of testing and procedures, however, do carry some risks to mother, baby, or both. For this reason, if you are offered prenatal testing, it is important to discuss with your doctor or midwife the following questions:
Why is the test needed for your pregnancy?
What information will the test give?
What are the benefits of the test?
What are the risks, if any, to you and to your baby?
What other tests might be used instead?
Who will do the test?
Where will it be done?
How long does it take to get results?
Will the test results require additional testing?
What are your options based on the outcome of the test?
What are your options if you choose to not have the test?
Some mothers are more likely to need a closer watch on their pregnancy. Some conditions that may warrant maternal and fetal testing include the following:
Pre-existing maternal diseases (for example, diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease, heart disease)
Abnormal amniotic fluid amounts
Abnormal fetal growth
Multiple pregnancy (twins or more)
Post-term pregnancy
Very young or older than 35 years old
