ASUS Republic of Gamers ROG G750 Gaming Notebook Review
Temperatures, Cooling and Noise
The ASUS ROG is a huge laptop. As such, it should keep temperatures and noise to a minimum. Even with all of the hardware stuffed into this laptop, the palm rests should remain cool to the touch.
As you can see, on the front of the system, we logged a maximum temperature of 92.5 degrees Fahrenheit. This high temperature was located away from the WSAD keys, which is good news for gamers.
Moving around to the backside, temperatures were slightly worse. The maximum observed temperature was 105 degrees Fahrenheit. 105 degrees isn't too ridiculous of a result, though extended use on the lap should still be avoided.
The maximum observed GPU temperature was 74 degrees Celsius. The CPU reached a maximum of 84 degrees Celsius. This laptop performed towards the top of the pack, despite packing some of the best hardware of any of the reviewed systems.
The ASUS ROG produced a sound level of 45 decibels in our measurement, making it one of the quietest machines we have tested. Our measurement is taken in front of the laptop at roughly head level. For comparison, 30dB is a totally quiet night time in the desert, 40dB is whispering and 60dB is a normal conversation.

Attorney general asked to investigate issues involving Oklahoma County judge
An Oklahoma City criminal defense attorney said Thursday he wants an attorney general to investigate an Oklahoma County district judge so his name can be cleared.
Attorney Michael S. Johnson, 42, said he is worried about the public's perception of him since his name came up in news reports about Judge Tammy Bass-LeSure. He said he has been caught in the crossfire.
"The full story is not being told," he said.
Bass-LeSure in July gave an Edmond gym trainer the names of three attorneys. The trainer had a drug case assigned to her. The names were Johnson, Joe Brett Reynolds and Kendra Gill.
Johnson said the judge on Tuesday morning apologized to him and Gill in person.
"The judge has apologized that she mentioned my name but assures me that she did it out of her appreciation for my professionalism in the courtroom and not for any kind of improper purposes," Johnson said.
"She apologized for the misperception that she was somehow recommending us," he said. "She said... she was merely advising somebody that we are experienced attorneys and that they should contact one of us to figure out what occurs in her courtroom."
The gym trainer, who already had a defense attorney, secretly recorded a conversation with the judge July 22. The judge stepped down Tuesdayfrom a high-profile murder case against a pharmacist who is being represented by Reynolds.
Johnson on Thursday asked Attorney General Drew Edmondson in a letter to investigate whether Bass-LeSure "has been giving preferential treatment to certain lawyers in her courtroom."
He also asked the attorney general to investigate whether District Attorney David Prater has taken actions to intimidate judges or retaliate against judges who do not rule favorably for prosecutors.
He said he worries the public perception is that the attorneys on the judge's list did something wrong, like paying bribes, to get preferential treatment from her. He said he has not bribed the judge and "she has never ruled in my favor on anything."
He said he expects an attorney general investigation will find no wrongdoing by anyone.
"I hope... if no misconduct is found and that this has been a big misunderstanding... that that... will come out so the public can have confidence in their judicial system," Johnson said.
Prater said Thursday night he welcomes an attorney general investigation. The judge declined to comment.
A spokesman for the attorney general confirmed Thursday that the office had received Johnson's request.
The attorney general's office investigated Bass-LeSure a few years ago but that probe did not result in any charges, sources said.

It's perfect! I bought it in two sizes, and the biggest was a tad to big for my taste. The other was perfect and one smaller size down from the largest I bought, would be perfect that too! For me at last. Wish you had smaller sizes lik 10 by 8, for us that like smaller and more pictures as well as the big! But awesome portrait by Houston Rogers and worth all the money in the world (this particular photo is the best for my taste of this series of his pictures of Maria Callas).

Heyward injects baseball with young star power
ATLANTA – Hank Aaron expected Jason Heyward to make an immediate impact in a sport which needs young African-American stars.
The 20-year-old Heyward hasn't disappointed.
He has become an overnight fan favorite, voted to start in today's All-Star Game.
Is it because he's young and talented? Yes, but it's more than that. Is it because he's a hometown kid who made it? Sure, but it's more than that. It is because he is an African-American? No doubt, but it's more than that.
It's all those things – and more.
Heyward said fans identify with the way he plays.
"I look for excitement," he said. "This is entertainment. I just go out there and have a good time and fit right in. I don't put myself above the game. It's a team game. I enjoy that part of it."
Atlanta manager Bobby Cox agreed.
"I think they like watching him play, to be honest with you," Cox said. "It doesn't hurt to have a little hype. … The team is playing well, too, but a lot of it is seeing a young kid who plays hard."
Heyward received more votes, about 2.7 million, than any other Atlanta player, including Martin Prado, the N.L.'s leading hitter. If not for a thumb injury, Heyward would have been the youngest All-Star starter since Ken Griffey Jr., who was two months younger when voted to start in 1990.
Though the Braves said Heyward won't play today, he doesn't plan to miss his first bow on a national stage.
"I don't know exactly what I'm going into because I've never done it before, but I'm just looking forward to taking it all in and being able to tip my cap to the fans when they announce the names, if that happens," he said.
Heyward's start is especially strong considering he's been playing with the injured thumb the last two months. He jammed it while sliding head-first into third base on May 14 and still has 11 homers and 45 RBIs.
Heyward came off the 15-day disabled list on Monday and plans to take batting practice at the All-Star game in Anaheim, Calif.
"I just want to enjoy the players, enjoy the fans and that environment and the family and friends that I have with me," he said. "I'm very appreciative of the fans' voting. It's very exciting for myself, for my teammates and for my friends and family."
Aaron has been watching Heyward for some time. He was captivated by the young star from the Atlanta area – a perfect fit for Aaron's Braves and the sport.
Aaron, told The Associated Press after Heyward's debut that he could bring excitement back to baseball. "Not only for Atlanta, but also for African-American players," Aaron said. "We do need to have many, many more Jason Heywards."
And though he has played well, Heyward could have a better second half.
"If I can bend my thumb and move it all the way and bend it like I need to, I'll be ready to play ball," he said.
Heyward said he doesn't worry about what his numbers might be if not for the injury.
"It is what it is," he said. "I know we're in first place. We have one of the best records. That's what is most important."
Cox said Heyward is genuine in his team-first approach.
"He's concerned about winning and losing," Cox said. "Kids that young aren't always that way. They're a little bit more interested most of the time in personal stats and things like that. I don't think he thinks like that at all."
Fans will be watching to see how much more Heyward can contribute to the Braves in the second half.

Boots are staple footwear for the chillier months and can go way beyond functionality, turning an ordinary outfit into a trend setting, drop-dead-gorgeous look of the season. Here's the scoop on boots for the upcoming months.
They make look like loaves of bread, but the original Ugg boots were all the rage when they were first spotted on celebrity feet a few years ago. The question is, are they still hot? If you've got a pair of the original fleece lined suede boots, don't throw them out. Functionally, they're near unbeatable. If you own a pair, I don't have to tell you how comfortable they are, and how they keep your feet at a constant, comfortable temperature.
As for style, although the classic Ugg boot isn't "hot" this winter, an array of new variations speak to current footwear trends. Check out the best new shoes offered by the Australian company here.

Departing Labour MPs took a stick to the media in Parliament yesterday.
Marian Hobbs, a former minister, said he had loved being in cabinet and when she didn't return to it after the 2005 election journalists couldn't conceive she had voluntarily stood aside.
"In their eyes, I must have been pushed," she said in her valedictory speech.
"It is sad that our gallery is full of people whose perspective is so jaundiced.
"It doesn't build respect for democracy, but maybe that's the aim of the media, increasingly owned by fewer corporations."
Ms Hobbs said she didn't care how she had been reported, what worried her was the way the media trivialised the decision-making process.
"Politics is about making decisions, be it the laws we pass or the budgets we approve," she said.
"But modern news media doesn't evaluate our decisions in the light of which policy is best.
"Instead they build a web around personalities and behaviour. It's about a smiley new face versus the one we are familiar with. The news is about decision makers, rarely about decisions."
Ms Hobbs said the media created a shallow world of perception which played into the hands of the slick and polished.
"You need only to sound assertive, even when you don't know what you're talking about," she said.
"If we continue in this unholy partnership between assertion without knowledge and a celebrity-focused media, then democracy is short-changed."
Ms Hobbs came to Parliament as a list MP in 1996 and won Wellington Central in 1999. She has held it since then.
Dover Samuels also entered Parliament in 1999 and served as a list member and MP for Te Tai Tokerau.
He said the media didn't let the truth or the facts get in the way of a good story.
"They're accountable to no one but their big bosses...inventing the headlines, all under the guise of freedom of speech."
Mr Samuels said he had never seen the media in a feeding frenzy like the one surrounding Winston Peters.
"The two major newspapers and television, insatiable in their attacks," he said.
"And Maoridom is asking why - why don't you run the ruler over every party and leader? The ones that are hiding millions.
"If you want to run the ruler of morality over members of this house, run it over everybody."
He said Maori weren't dumb.
"Maori can understand the secret agenda, and it's not going to work.
"Keep putting Winston Peters on the front page of the paper and you will guarantee he will get back into Parliament."

DIY Fabric Flower Barrette
I believe I started a new craft addiction. Um yeah… that would be hair accessories. They are so easy to make and take minutes. I think I decided that I liked them once I started getting compliments when I wore them out. So, today I decided to share another DIY fabric flower barrette.
It all started off on the fourth of July when I made that last minute flower in red, white, and blue to wear with my headband. THEN, I decided to disclose to the world that my head was shaved and these headpieces were absolutely necessary to cover my awkward hair do. Anyway, here's a fun and easy piece to either keep or give away as a handmade gift.
- Fabric flowers
- Buttons
- Scissors
- Felt
- Hot glue and hot glue gun
- Hair clip or barrette
First play around with your arrangement. Keep the size of the barrette in mind to make sure you don't make your flower cluster too big or too small. Hot glue the pieces into place.
The glue will dry in seconds. Next, cut and trim the felt as shown.
Finally, hot glue the barrette onto the center of the hair clip in the desired position.
Here are the two that I made. I like to clip them onto different head bands, or you can also wear them by themselves.
Here is another AFTER photo.
You can package them up in a cute box with ribbon to make a sweet personalized gift. Consider adding pearls or rhinestones for some added BLING!

Powerful supermajorities dominate American statehouses
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- There's a new superpower growing in the Great Plains and the South, where bulging Republican majorities in state capitols could dramatically cut taxes and change public education with barely a whimper of resistance from Democrats.
Contrast that with California, where voters have given Democrats a new dominance that could allow them to raise taxes and embrace same-sex marriage without regard to Republican objections.
If you thought the presidential election revealed the nation's political rifts, consider the outcomes in state legislatures. The vote also created a broader tier of powerful, one-party governments that can act with no need for compromise. Half of state legislatures now have veto-proof majorities, up from 13 only four years ago, according to figures compiled for The Associated Press by the National Conference of State Legislatures.
All but three states -- Iowa, Kentucky and New Hampshire -- have one-party control of their legislatures, the highest mark since 1928.
The result could lead to stark differences in how people live and work.
"Usually, a partisan tide helps the same party across the country, but what we saw in this past election was the opposite of that -- some states getting bluer and some states getting redder," said Thad Kousser, an associate political science professor at the University of California-San Diego who focuses on state politics. As a result, "we'll see increasing policy divergence across the states."
Democrats in California gained their first supermajorities since 1883 in both the Assembly and Senate. Republicans captured total control of the North Carolina Capitol for the first time in more than a century. The GOP set a 147-year high mark in the Tennessee statehouse and won two-thirds majorities in the Missouri Legislature for the first time since the Civil War.
Republicans also gained or expanded supermajorities in places such as Indiana and Oklahoma. Democrats gained a supermajority in Illinois and built upon their dominance in Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
If the parties make full use of their enlarged majorities, residents of similar-sized cities in different parts of the country could soon experience a virtual continental divide in their way of life.
In one state, businesses could pay little to no taxes, the result of policies intended to spur hiring. Public schools might function at a basics-only level, with parents free to use public money to send their children to private schools. Only the poorest of the poor adults could expect medical care from the government.
In another state, residents would pay higher taxes, and the government would inject billions of dollars into public education with the goal of creating a highly skilled workforce to attract businesses. A social safety net would exist for the poor, including working adults not even considered to be in poverty.
Supermajorities can allow lawmakers to override governors' vetoes, change tax rates, put constitutional amendments on the ballot, rewrite legislative rules and establish a quorum for business -- all without any participation by the opposing party.
Missouri politics
In Missouri, House Speaker Tim Jones wants to advance an agenda that includes tax cuts, business incentives and education reform. The new GOP supermajority could trump any objections by Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon, who vetoed some previous business-backed bills.
"The governor will need to understand the importance of true, actual negotiation during the legislative process," Jones said.
Yet a supermajority is not a guarantee of success. With larger numbers can come more individual agendas and internal tensions.
"A very large majority ends up becoming factionalized," said Charles S. Bullock III, a longtime political science professor at the University of Georgia who teaches legislative politics. There are "people who are vying with each other, looking down the road to the next election."
Kansas is a good example of that. Republicans there gained a supermajority in both chambers in the 2010 elections but remained divided in conservative and moderate camps. They took their battle to the ballot box this year and conservatives prevailed -- giving them a likely hold on 27 of 40 Kansas Senate seats and as many as 75 of 125 House seats.
After enacting massive tax cuts in 2012, some Kansas conservatives now are looking forward to trimming government and possibly pursuing more tax cuts.
"What we know from history is we can expect some overreaching of lawmakers using their newfound political might to shove things down the throat of the minority -- to pass laws that are more extreme than they would have passed in the old days," Kousser said.
In California, Democrats are looking forward to having things their way. Republican Assemblyman Jim Nielsen predicts an "unprecedented spending and taxing binge" as the new Democratic supermajority attempts to reduce some of the state's recent deep budget cuts.
California Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg has outlined an agenda that includes changing the tax code and ballot initiative process and perhaps asking voters to legalize same-sex marriage.
"We will exercise this new power with strength, but also with humility and with reason," Steinberg said.
Associated Press writers John Hanna in Topeka, Kan.; Tom LoBianco in Indianapolis; Sean Murphy in Oklahoma City; Gary D. Robertson in Raleigh, N.C.; and Don Thompson in Sacramento, Calif., contributed to this report.

Fugitive priest pleads guilty to multiple charges of abuse25 February 2014 | by Liz Dodd
A priest who has spent more than 20 years on the run in Spain has pleaded guilty to multiple charges of sexual assault of children, including of altar boys.
Francis Paul Cullen, 85, formerly working in the Diocese of Nottingham, yesterday admitted to 15 counts of indecent assault, five of indecency with a child and one of attempted buggery.
According to Derbyshire Police he abused seven children including five altar boys and two girls while he was a priest in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, during a period from 1957 until around 1991, when he retired on grounds of "ill health".
He was charged with three counts of sexual assault at Nottingham Magistrates' Court in October 1991 but fled to Tenerife while on bail. He was extradited from Tenerife last year on a European arrest warrant.
Derbyshire Police thanked the Catholic Church for its help tracing Cullen to Tenerife in 2012. He had attended Mass at the same church there for 20 years.
A spokesman for the Diocese of Nottingham said it was pleased that he had taken responsibility for his crimes.
"We have been working closely with the police throughout the preparation of this case, both before and after Cullen's arrest in Spain and return to the United Kingdom, have encouraged them to bring him to justice and are grateful to them," he said.
The diocese thanked Fr Cullen's victims for coming forward and said that the abuse of children was "abhorrent" and taken very seriously by the Catholic Church.
"Nothing can take away the horror of what happened to them, but I hope that today's verdict will help them in some small way to find peace," he said.
Judge Jonathan Gosling remanded Cullen in custody and adjourned sentencing until 24 March at Derby Crown Court.

Pretty much a dangerous move, as describe by others, without a caveat.
I read about the Angry Dragon in the Urban Dictionary and it sounded great, but when I jammed my cock down her throat, she bit it off, and then while I was writhing on the floor in agony, she stuck it up my ass. Then she and four of her friends beat the shit out of me. I just got out of the hospital this morning.

After you blow your load in your woman's mouth, you put your hand over her mouth and keep her jaw shut and say, "I have syphillis". She will get mad and try to spit it out but it will only go out of her nose, thus resembling an angry dragon.

When a girl is performing oral on a guy - he is about to blow, he holds on to her head so she can't pull away and her mouth is stuck on his dick. Then his load shoots in her mouth, and it comes out her nostrils - with a major scowl on her face and ropes of cum hanging out her nose...she looks like an Angry Dragon!
I gave that chick the angry dragon last night!

The Government has walked away from its treaty obligations on climate change, writes Barry Coates, executive director of Oxfam New Zealand.
As we queue up to see The Hobbit in cinemas, we in Middle Earth can identify ourselves with the forces of good marshalling against the evil that threatens the planet. It's clear which side we are on.
Back in the real world, there has just been another battle for the health of our planet, this time in the Middle East rather than Middle Earth. We haven't seen it on our TV or movie screens - it has been fought at the United Nations climate change conference in Doha. Tragically, when it finished on Sunday, it became apparent that we had again lost the battle - another failure to take urgent collective action on climate change.
This inaction contrasts with widening concern that the window for avoiding massive, irreparable damage to vulnerable people and the environment is closing.
New commentators, including the likes of the World Bank, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Swiss RE Insurance, and the International Energy Agency, are warning of the devastation that will result from continuing on our reckless path of greenhouse gas emissions.
The results are already becoming apparent. Even though average temperatures have risen by less than one degree Celsius, last week's unprecedented heat wave in Australia and a massive cyclone in the Philippines have capped off yet another year of record-breaking droughts, floods and fierce storms. Extreme weather is rapidly becoming the new normal.
If this is less than one degree of warming, fear for the future. Scientists tell us we are headed for between four and six degrees of temperature increase by 2100. And predictions so far have underestimated the speed and degree of impacts such as the melting of Arctic ice.
The World Bank recently said that four degrees would cause "cataclysmic changes". And to make it worse, our Government has switched sides and joined Middle Earth's forces of darkness, a move that Christiana Figueres - the diplomat leading the UN conference - criticised, joining a chorus of condemnation from vulnerable countries, scientists and campaigners. This not only undermines global efforts to tackle climate change, but it damages our international reputation.
It is easy to be complacent sitting here in New Zealand while the worst effects are being experienced in the tropics and polar regions. But we need to remember that those suffering are overwhelmingly people living in poverty, dependent on the environment for their food and livelihoods, and without any safety nets.
Most have no savings or social welfare to help them when a cyclone strikes or their crops fail. They didn't cause the problem of climate change that is wrecking their lives - we and other developed countries did, pumping emissions from fossil fuels into the atmosphere at an unsustainable rate. We cannot pretend that we have no responsibility towards those who are suffering.
As Middle Earthers, we have an image of ourselves as good global citizens. We support those who are disadvantaged, we are passionate about fairness, and we value our environment. Our international reputation and our exports benefit from these values. But in climate change negotiations, we are rapidly moving from the progressive to the pariah.
Consider the evidence. The Government has refused to live up to its obligations to provide new climate funding to support poor countries that are already suffering the impacts of climate change. It has merely re-labelled a small amount of aid money and called it funding for climate change.
The Government has also walked away from our treaty obligations under the only binding climate agreement we have been able to achieve internationally.
The Kyoto Protocol includes two commitment periods for emissions reductions, but the Government has said that New Zealand will not join the second commitment period.
Climate Change Minister Tim Groser then claimed that we are "ahead of the curve" in doing this. This attempted political spin has angered many, including our Pacific neighbours, and it helped earn New Zealand the "Fossil of the Year Award", given to the country that has been the world's worst blocker of progress at climate change negotiations.
At home, the Government's record is no better. Climate change demands visionary leadership and transformational policy change. Yet successive weakening of policies affecting our carbon emissions, including the Emissions Trading Scheme, has meant there is little incentive for action and we face the likely conversion of forested land.
It is time for a change of approach. Instead of fighting over the oars in the lifeboat, as we have been doing in international negotiations, we must recognise if the lifeboat sinks, we all drown.
Preventing climate chaos is becoming more difficult but it is not too late. The target for a binding international treaty is 2015, still time for New Zealand to reclaim the mantle of a good global citizen instead of a blocker.
We can front up to our responsibilities towards our Pacific neighbours and other developing countries by helping them protect vulnerable communities, farmers and families from the impacts of climate change that they have done little to cause. And we can seize the opportunity for moving towards the low- carbon, clean-technology, high- value, knowledge-based economy that is our future.
As we watch the battle for Middle Earth on our movie screens, we need to reflect on which side we are on in the battle being waged on this Earth.
We can emulate Gollum and clutch "our precious" - our car- intensive, lignite mining, deep sea oil drilling, old polluting economy - or we can join the coalition for a planet that is safer, more equitable, greener and with a better quality of life.
This is a crucial moment. Those in favour of a better future need to speak out.

Malawi Drought Disaster Declaration Map (pdf - 3 MB)
Key Developments
Prolonged dry spells and erratic rainfall—exacerbated by the 2015/2016 El Niño climatic event—have resulted in drought conditions and extensive agricultural losses in central and southern Malawi. As a result, approximately 2.8 million people in Malawi required emergency food assistance due to drought-related food insecurity as of March 2016, according to the UN. The USAID-funded Famine Early Warning Systems Network anticipates that needs are likely to increase significantly during the 2016/2017 August-to-March lean season. The Government of the Republic of Malawi declared a national state of emergency due to the drought and requested international assistance in mid-April.
On April 21, U.S. Ambassador Virginia E. Palmer declared a disaster due to the effects of drought in Malawi. In response, USAID's Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance provided $50,000 through USAID/Malawi to Catholic Relief Services to support agricultural interventions in drought-affected communities.
USAID's Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA) is responding to a regional drought in Southern Africa. Please visit our webpage for additional information.
Malawi experiences a variety of natural disasters, including cyclones, cylical drought, earthquakes, flooding, and severe storms. In addition, vulnerable populations experience recurring food insecurity. USAID/OFDA's strategy in Malawi includes responding to urgent humanitarian needs while also supporting disaster risk reduction (DRR) initiatives which strengthen the resilience of communities. USAID/OFDA DRR programs include activities that promote conservation agriculture, the use of flood- and drought-tolerant seeds, and train local and national authorities in disaster response management.

Lockheed Martin Names Rick Ambrose Executive Vice President, Space Systems And Sondra Barbour Executive Vice President, IS&GS
BETHESDA, Md., Jan. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE: LMT) announced that its board of directors has approved the appointment of Rick F. Ambrose, 54, to executive vice president (EVP) of its Space Systems business, and Sondra L. Barbour, 50, to EVP of its Information Systems & Global Solutions (IS&GS) business. The appointments are effective April 1, and follow announcements that Joanne Maguire, 58, EVP, Space Systems, and Linda Gooden, 59, EVP, IS&GS, will retire. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130124/PH47590-a )(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130124/PH47590-b ) "Joanne and Linda have made significant contributions to Lockheed Martin and our industry over their exceptional careers," said Marillyn Hewson, chief executive officer and president. "Both are distinguished leaders whose vision, expertise and unwavering commitment to performance excellence have positioned Lockheed Martin for continued success. They leave strong legacies and we wish them the best in their retirements." Under Maguire's leadership, the Space Systems business area has delivered several major national security space systems, notably the Space Based Infrared System, and expanded our role in space exploration with programs like Orion and Juno. She was the first woman to receive the prestigious International von Karman Wings Award, presented by the California Institute of Technology. And last year, she received the National Defense Industrial Association's distinguished Peter B. Teets Space Division award. During Gooden's tenure, IS&GS has remained the top provider of information technology services to the U.S. government for 18 years and has expanded our government IT business into international markets. She was named Black Enterprise magazine's 2009 100 Most Powerful Executives in Corporate America, and was appointed by President Barack Obama to the National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee in 2010. "Rick is a seasoned executive with more than 33 years of industry experience in roles of increasing responsibility, and a proven track record of understanding and delivering on our customers' expectations," said Hewson.

OKANOGAN Wednesday's Success Summit drew together about 160 people for a day-long discussion of what makes a rural area successful and how those bright points can be expanded.
"The greatest thing was getting to make connections with so many positive people," Okanogan teacher Ron Cate said. "There are a lot of things going on with different agencies and businesses that I was not aware of."
"It went really well. People were very engaged and interested in learning," Nancy Warner of the Initiative for Rural Innovation and Stewardship said. "People each year are excited, encouraged and inspired by each other."
The event, at Okanogan Middle School, included updates on previous Success Summit stories dating back to the first year in 2009, including the Chumstick Fire Coalition, bacterial control of cheatgrass and farm-to-school programs in Bridgeport and Wenatchee.
Those who attended learned about a planned dental program expansion for Family Health Centers, the Salish language program at Waterfall School near Omak, restoration of Salmon Creek and use of digital media in the classroom.
"I really enjoyed hearing about the Salish-speaking school," Okanogan freshman Alahna Timentwa said.
Middle school students, under the direction of Doug Woodrow, showed a video they'd produced about Okanogan.
In the afternoon, participants broke up into groups to brainstorm on issues such as recruiting volunteers, developing leaders, engaging youth in the community, and reducing waste and increasing recycling/repurposing, Warner said.
People learned about a student initiative to increase graduation rates and developing a database of volunteer needs.
"People learned about resources they didn't know were there," she said.
"I really enjoyed the group activity in the afternoon," Okanogan sophomore Nacole Todd said. "I got to interact with adults and hear their stories about being a leader."
"I came out of the event feeling energized and realizing what a great place Okanogan is to live," Cate said. "So many people dedicated to the rural lifestyle and trying to do their part to make it an even better place."
Slow Food Okanogan provided lunch from local products. The Okanogan Grange women provided pie and the Okanogan Chamber of Commerce kept the coffee pot full.
"It was great to see how the community came together to put it on," freshman Jill Townsend said.
Next year's Success Summit will be in Douglas County, probably in Mansfield or Waterville, Warner said.
Last year's event was in Entiat.
"Having grown up in Entiat, it was great to have people from there, where the last summit was, come to Okanogan. I am also excited to go to next year's summit," Cate said.
