Residents and visitors can participate in an array of outdoor activities including hiking, biking, swimming, fishing, camping, horseback riding, hot-air balloon rides and stand-up paddleboarding. And the evenings are filled with outdoor concerts and outdoor dining.
In the next few days, outdoor films will be added to the list when the Sundance Institute and the Park City Mountain Resort (PCMR) start their respective free summer film series in town.
The Sundance Institute's Park City screenings will be held at City Park on Friday, July 25, with Michael Tully's "Ping Pong Summer" and PCMR will kick start its Movies on the Mountain series with Robert Zemeckis' "Back to the Future" on July 28.
Sundance Institute
Kara Cody, senior manager for Utah Community Programs for the Sundance Institute, said this year will be the 17th anniversary for their outdoor screenings.
"This is a way for the Institute to give something back to the local community," Cody told The Park Record. "Film is a great way to connect with each other and one of the Institute's missions is to introduce people to the Sundance Institute's wonderful artists.
"I mean, this is what we do and it's fun, because who doesn't like to watch movies outside?"
The Sundance screening schedule for Park City is:
"We like to look at films that played well at past Sundance Film Festivals," she said. "They are audience favorites, award winners and some that have a fun local connection that will be fun for an outdoor audience, because there are just some films that are great for outside viewing."
Also, all the films, which start at sundown, are appropriate for families and are screened in partnership with various nonprofit organizations in town, Cody said.
"It's important for us nonprofits to work with each other," she said. "There is strength in numbers and film is a powerful way to tell a story.
"If we can use a screening to bring awareness or attention to their cause, then it's a perfect fit for us," Cody said. "Our most successful events we do in Summit County and Park City are ones where we collaborate with other organizations."
"Ping Pong Summer," which is screened in collaboration with Park City Recreation, is fun because it takes place in 1985.
"It's a visual time capsule of the 1980s," Cody said. "There is a fascination with that time period and we thought this would be a good one to start the Park City screenings with.
"We are collaborating with Park City Recreation because we did this a few years ago with 'Bones Brigade' and had the skateboard jam in the park," Cody said. "We wanted to do something similar and once we saw this film, we thought it would be perfect for us to set up ping pong in the park."
Cody also hopes people who attend the screening will bring out their '80s wear.
"We want to see parachute pants, high tops and day-glow scrunchies," she said laughing.
For Morgan Neville's "Twenty Feet from Stardom," Sundance is working with the Park City Institute and the Kimball Arts Festival.
"It's a perfect fit for that weekend, because the Park City Institute is presenting Muscle Shoals Live with Lisa Fischer as part of the St. Regis Big Stars, Bright Nights Concert that Sunday and Lisa is in the film," Cody said. "With the Park City Kimball Arts Festival going on at the same time, it will be a very good weekend for the arts."
Cody said "Twenty Feet From Stardom" is a film she can watch over and over again.
"It's a wonderful documentary and an Academy Award-winner," she said. "The great thing about this film is that there is a lot of meat to it, but it's such an uplifting documentary."
The last Park City screening is Campbell Scott and Stanley Tucci's "Big Night."
"This film, which is about the owners of a failing Italian restaurant, premiered at the 1996 Sundance Film Festival and won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award," Cody said. "It's a perfect fit for the Grub Crawl that the Park City Chamber will present that weekend."
The Grub Crawl is an event that introduces Main Street restaurants to the public.
"Park City Chamber reached out to us about doing a screening as a way to highlight Summit County as a destination for the culinary arts and arts in general," Cody said. "This film is such a perfect fit. You definitely don't want to go see it hungry."
In addition, "Big Night" will be screened as a 35 mm film.
"It's been a couple of years that we have presented a 35 mm film for an outdoor screening," Cody said. "Many older films like this aren't available, yet, in digital format.
Even if we project a DVD, the quality isn't great. And at Sundance we take pride in our presentations. A 35 mm of 'Big Night' was available and we wanted to break it out."
During each of the screenings, the Park City Institute will ask the public to vote for the final film of the summer that will be screened on Aug. 27 at Red Butte Garden.
Audiences will vote on three films that have music themes. They are "SLC Punk," "U2 3D" and "Something From Nothing: The Art of Rap."
"We are utilizing HP Tablets at the screenings, so there will be no more counting little pieces of paper," Cody said.
Votes can also be cast online at www.sundance.org/utah . The voting will end on Aug. 15.
"We will announce the winner a few days later," Cody said.

Park City Mountain Resort
Last year marked the debut of Park City Mountain Resort's Movies on the Mountain, and it was such a success, everyone wanted to do it again, said Andy Miller, PCMR's communication manager.
"We want to get people on the mountain because summer is a great time to get outdoors in Park City and that twilight hour is wonderful," Miller told The Park Record. "We have a lot of people, locals and lodging guests, who come up to the mountain and participate in the activities during the day and they can just stay and enjoy the evening.
"We were excited for the turnout last year and have already gotten a great response from the community," he said. "So we wanted to bring the series back and we're looking forward to the series this year."
Miller said Movies on the Mountain creates an atmosphere conducive for families.
"Screenings take place on the lawn, next to the resort plaza, by the kids adventure zone," he said. "We set up a big screen, provide concessions, including a variety of beverages and popcorn for sale."
Also, Legends Bar & Grill, which is next to the movie location, will offer special desserts every week, Miller said.
"This makes for a terrific setting to spread out a blanket and enjoy free films," he explained. "People can also bring chairs as well. It works out pretty well because there is a lot of space to spread out, so no one gets in the way of the people behind them."
The screenings will take place every Monday from July 28 through Aug. 18, and the films start just after sunset, which is approximately between 8:30 p.m. and 9 p.m., and families can stake out their turf beginning at 8 p.m.
PCMR's staff selected the films that include:
"We looked for films that appeal to a wide range of people," Miller said. "We wanted to get films that adults would be excited to see and feel comfortable bringing their families, as well."
Miller is personally looking forward to "Back to the Future."
"This was one of the films that we scheduled to show a year ago, but it got rained out," he said. "So were looking forward to it leading the series off this year."

Is It Time to Systematically Deport Muslims Who Will Not Abide by British Law?
IS IT TIME TO SYSTEMATICALLY DEPORT MUSLIMS WHO WILL NOT ABIDE BY BRITISH LAW? It is no secret that many Muslims in the UK actually despise the UK Citizens, often branding us animals, unholy and pigs. It is also no secret that in certain parts and areas of the UK that there are signs warning people that they are now entering a Muslim Area that is under Sharia Law.
Considering these would it really come as a shock to discover that a group of hooded Muslims is patrolling parts of the London defiling advertisement, that they consider an offense to God, and furthermore stopping people telling them not to carry alcohol in a Muslim Area and even approaching women and ordering them to cover up as they consider it also an offense against God.
Mohammed Shafiq, the chief executive of the Ramadhan Foundation, a Muslim organisation which campaigns for a peaceful co-existence among communities, has condemned the group's behaviour.
He said: 'We live in the UK and we are governed by UK law, there should be no mob rule. If people are involved in this behaviour then it is worrying but it is an isolated incident.'
The United Kingdom over that last few decades has either welcomed immigrants or been forced to accept them under EU Legislation. In the process many immigrants have entered the UK and happily lived off the backs of the UK Taxpayer, never having worked and never having the intention of doing so.
With all the generosity of the UK public what have we received in return? Praise, thanks, admiration or even gratefulness? It would appear that none of these are evident and what should be shown by the immigrants is sadly replaced with their belief that it is the UK Citizens who should change their ways in order to fit in with their Islamic lifestyle.
It is disturbing to think, if this video is indeed real, that anyone, regardless of their race or religious beliefs, should be allowed to walk the streets and intimidate others.
There are those who believe that the video is a fake and is designed by ultra right-wing groups in order to incite violence against Muslim communities, and consider the tactics often used by these groups it is not unreasonable to think this could in fact be the case in this instance.
There is no denying, I have seen it with my own eyes that many Muslims would like to see the demise of the British people, you only had to witness the Muslim Demonstration March in London last year, which clearly incited violence and terrorism against the people of the UK, to appreciate that.
What was, in my mind, extremely disturbing, was the fact that such a demonstration was allowed to take place, because as others pointed out, if the ultra right-wing groups had engaged in a similar demonstration it would have been disbanded by the police and no doubt a number of arrests would have resulted.
On that point, do the ultra right-wing groups have a point? Many believe that the Muslim community and its leaders are secretly plotting against us. We have indeed witnessed a number of terrorist attacks in the UK by Muslim terrorists to clearly understand that not all Muslims are as peaceful as they make out to be.
We do like to consider ourselves as a tolerant nation, we have to be with the growing number of nationalities now living within the UK, but should we, as a nation, have to put up with intolerance from the growing Muslim population? Is it not time to change the laws so that these people can be deported? Is deportation really that bad?
Could we not take the sensible view that deportation cannot be detrimental to the Human Rights as it is clear that they do not like our culture and our religious beliefs and therefore, their Human Rights would be better served if they were deported to a country more attune to their beliefs and style of living? How could this be an abuse of their Human Rights?
The truth is, for many of these so-called righteous Muslims, they live happily on the hard work and sweat of the average British Taxpayer and therefore, while they despise us, they have not the self-respect to leave as this would often mean living a life of poverty in a Muslim country and would in fact have to work to support themselves and their burgeoning family.
I've said this before and I'll say it again, just to make things crystal clear – I have a number of very close friends who are Muslim. All are hard working taxpaying citizens and all agree with my views. Nobody has forced these people to come to the UK, nor do we persecute them for their beliefs and even when we are attacked we still show remarkable restraint and tolerance.
As the UK accepts more and more immigrants, many of whom despise us and our ways, it will come to a breaking point and this will always result in violence as the government refuses to change the laws so that people who do despise us can be deported. It is time to take a tougher stance legally before the British public finally snaps which could lead to untold violence, not just towards those who do despise us but too many innocent, law abiding Muslims, across the UK.

I think this video is real, and was done to "test the waters." As you said there have been incidents prior to this and the group is seeking more ground within your country. Deporting? It does seem the only answer, but I don't like the implications and scrutiny it would create for the hundreds of Muslims who are living peaceably within your borders. As a country, there is an obligation to protect your citizens and your standards of living. Just like the "sponges" living off the system they do need to go but creating and passing legislation will be an ordeal.
http://www.meebal.com/ meebal
The article itself has some good points, however you are right, Blanket Deportation should not be allowed nor even considered. What could work is that any Muslim caught engaging in Anti-British propaganda or trying to impose Islamic Law, should be deported.
There is a growing feeling in the UK that the Muslims are getting out of control – just imagine a Brit trying to hold Anti-Islamic demonstrations in Saudi Arabia, how far do you think they would get. If it is not allowed in Islamic Countries it shouldn't be allowed in the UK or other Western countries.
The attitude is that if you don't like the way we live the leave.

By Dr. Cameron Chai
The PAM-FORM simulation application was developed through several collaborations in defense, aerospace, automotive and other fields. The solution is suitable for several composites manufacturing processes, including rubber pad forming, stamping, hand lay-up diaphragm forming and stamping. It allows simulation of forming and pre-forming processes of laminated composite parts in a realistic manner. This helps engineers to choose the right material, tooling design and top process parameters. With the use of PAM-FORM tool, engineers can also forecast manufacturing defects such as bridging, excessive shearing, wrinkling and improper thickness distribution, and rectify them by changing the tooling or process parameters.
ESI Group has designed the PAM-RTM solution for resin infusion or injection of composite performs. The tool helps to predict manufacturing process of large-sized and thicker composite parts that are commonly found in automotive, aeronautics and wind sectors. It addresses different Liquid Composites Molding production processes, including Compression-RTM (CRTM), Articulated-CRTM (A-CRTM), Vacuum Assisted Resin Infusion (VARI), Vacuum Assisted RTM (VARTM) and Transfer Molding (RTM).

Derrick LeBlanc Hired as a Defensive Line Coach at Wyoming
Head Coach Dave Christensen announces new coaching staff duties.
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Jason Ray is in his fourth year with the Wyoming Cowboys. He will move into a new role in 2012, teaming with Derek Sage to coach the Cowboy receivers. Ray coached the Cowboy running backs his first three seasons at Wyoming. His transition to coaching receivers should be a natural one for Ray as he played wide receiver at the University of Missouri from 2003-07.
Ray coached running back Alvester Alexander for all three years of his Wyoming playing career. Alexander declared for the NFL Draft following his junior season of 2011, and signed a free-agent contract with the Chicago Bears following the 2012 NFL Draft. Alexander concluded his Cowboy career ranked ninth on the school's career rushing list, with 2,127 career yards, and ranked third in career rushing touchdowns, with 27.
In 2010, Ray coached Alexander to Honorable Mention All-Mountain West Conference honors as he ranked No. 5 in the Mountain West and No. 80 in the nation in rushing, averaging 66.0 yards per carry. Alexander also ranked No. 5 in the MW and No. 74 in the NCAA in scoring, averaging 7.0 points per game. Alexander set new UW records for rushing touchdowns in a single season (14 in 2010) and a single game (5 vs. Colorado State in 2010).
The 2011 Gildan New Mexico Bowl versus Temple marked Ray's second bowl appearance as a coach. Wyoming's 35-28 win over Fresno State in the 2009 New Mexico Bowl was Ray's first bowl game as a coach. He was a member of four bowl teams during his five years as a student-athlete at Missouri .
Immediately prior to coming to Wyoming, Ray served as a Development Associate with the Tiger Scholarship Fund at his alma mater, the University of Missouri. Ray was also an intern in the Missouri marketing and development departments. He played wide receiver on the Tiger Football team from 2003-07.
Ray was elected a team captain his senior season of 2007 in what was the most successful season in Missouri school history. The Tigers ended the season with a school record 12 wins and were ranked No. 4 in the final Associated Press rankings, which was the highest season-ending ranking in school history. He was part of a Missouri offense that ranked No. 5 in the nation in total offense, averaging 490.3 yards per game. The 2007 Tiger offense also ranked No. 8 in the NCAA in scoring offense (39.9 points per game) and No. 9 in passing offense (314.1 yards per game).
During his five years as a player at Missouri, the Tigers made four bowl appearances. His senior season, the Tigers defeated Arkansas, 38-7, in the Cotton Bowl. In 2006, Missouri played in the Sun Bowl, losing to Oregon State, 38-39. Following the 2005 season, Mizzou captured the Independence Bowl Championship with a 38-31 win over South Carolina, and in Ray's true freshman season of 2003 Missouri also played in the Independence Bowl, losing to Arkansas, 14-27.
Ray was a Second Team Academic All-Big 12 selection during his career. He also was named to the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll, and was voted president of the Mizzou Student-Athlete Advisory Committee his senior year of college.
A native of Porter, Okla., his younger brother Michael was a strong safety for the Wyoming Cowboys from 2004 to 2008, completing his eligibility just as the elder Ray was hired as an assistant coach for the Pokes. Michael Ray has since returned to the University of Wyoming, and is currently an Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach at Wyoming.
Jason Ray completed his bachelor's degree in marketing from Missouri in December of 2007.
He will recruit the states of Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma for the Cowboys.

A man has been hailed a "knight in shining armour" after he pulled 20 trapped cars from the snow at the weekend.
Stuart Down, 32, from Middle Lane in Epsom and owner of Stuart Motors, spent six hours on Sunday rescuing the stricken vehicles, their drivers and passengersfrom as snow storms hit Epsom Downs – including an elderly pensioner with a heart condition.
One woman said she thought she would die after the car she was travelling in with her husband and two friends got stuck in the snow on the Downs.
Anne Jones, 51, of Alexander Road, Epsom, said: "I was driving and suddenly I saw this mound of snow and I went straight into it.
"The road across the top of the Downs was filling up with snow and unless you had a 4x4 you had no chance.
"We didn't realise how bad it had got. It was so windy the snow was coming horizontally. On your face it felt like needles.
"I have never been to Siberia but I would imagine it was like that."
Mrs Jones's husband attempted to dig the car out but described the snow as "like concrete".
She said: "We sat there and thought, What do we do now?
"I just remember this sinking feeling. We were blocking the road and nobody else could get through.
"If we had got out and left the car someone could have driven into it and that was the other worry."
Then, through the foggy blizzard, an orange flashing light appeared as Mr Down came to their rescue in his 4x4. He spent an hour helping to free the car and was eventually able to tow it back to a car park before driving both couples to their homes. Mrs Jones said: "We asked how much we owed him and he said there was no charge and he was out anyway so it was no big deal.
"My husband gave him some money but didn't have much on him and he felt awful.
"I just thought he deserved to have someone say thank you publically for what he was doing. I was completely bowled over and it's lovely there are still people like him around."
Earlier in the day Mr Down had helped an elderly couple, including a man with a heart condition, who were attempting to walk home in the blizzard after their car became stuck on the Downs.
Mr Down said: "Their car had got stuck on the hill up the Downs.
"I towed it up to the top and made sure they got home OK."
Mr Down, who said he had done the same in previous years, broke four towropes pulling vans from the snow throughout the day. He said: "There were loads of different people and vehicles that had got stuck.
"The majority of people I just towed to level ground so they could get going again and they were very thankful.
"If you come across people like that, the way I see is if you can help them, then why not?
"A couple of people gave me a bit of money but that wasn't what it was about.
"As far as I'm concerned I had the ability to get people home and it was all people who were taken by shock.
"It wasn't people out messing about.
"It's just nice to know these people didn't have to walk home because it was really bitterly cold."

Anxiety is a difficult thing, especially when not handled correctly. It will only become worse if nothing is done. My brother, age 11, has severe anxiety (won't go into details) and refuses to see anybody about it. We once took him to a physiologist (not a psychiatrist) and he refused to talk to her. He literally spends every waking minute angry, frustrated, depressed, and an overall empty. One of the worst parts I have noticed is, when he does have his glimpses of happiness it almost seems abnormal. He is so over joyed by the happiness that he begins screaming of laughter causing somebody to tell him to quiet down starting his anger again.
Basically, my point is, see help now. Call somebody. It doesn't have to be a professional. I could be a relative, a friend, just anybody you are willing to vent to. IF that doesn't help see a psychiatrist. He will address your case and provide a solution (hopefully). I truly hope you get better.
In this light we sail,
As the water lays under our sky.

Excerpt from the Proposal Writing for Individuals in the Arts - Write Your Proposal with Passion and Clarity program featuring writer, teacher, and solo performer Gigi Rosenberg, presented March 27, 2007
As part of its efforts to help grantseekers succeed, the Foundation Center offers free training and workshops for individuals and representatives of nonprofit organizations at its five library/learning centers. We are pleased to make available the following excerpt from "Proposal Writing for Individuals in the Arts - Write Your Proposal with Passion and Clarity," presented at our New York library/learning center on March 26, 2007.
Writer, teacher, and solo performer Gigi Rosenberg has been a commentator on Oregon Public Radio and has taught writing at Lewis and Clark College's NW Writing Institute, the Willamette Writers Conference, and Community of Writers. Her work has been funded by Oregon's Regional Arts and Culture Council (RACC), and she has served on the review panel for RACC's Project Grants.
If there is one thing that I want you to take with you today, it is that grant writing is the beginning of a conversation between you and your art and your art and the world. Yes, it can be drudgery, but writing a grant application can also be a way to hone your vision and to take your art further out into the world. And if it isn't doing that, then it's probably not worth doing.
When a singer is asked on a grant application to write something to describe her work, it's the equivalent of asking me - a writer - "Could you sing a song that would show us what your writing is like?" and I'd say, "What?! You've got to be kidding." So, yes: you need to learn another art form to express yourself about the art that you do. But the benefit of writing is that it helps you hone your vision and plan your next project.
Grant writing forces you to get your next project on paper. The deadline for the grant forces you to talk to that choreographer, talk to that graphic designer and get them on board. So even if you don't get the money, you now have a plan, your project is now real.
Because grant writing takes so much time, the process needs to benefit you even if you don't get funded. Many grant applications are reviewed by a panel of your peers so grant writing is a great way to get your name out, expose your peers to your work, and start to build your community. Grant writing helps you clarify the vision for your project, come out of the closet with your idea, and make it real.
Another thing that very few people want to think about is that it is also great practice in asking for help. It's very rare that a successful artist works in isolation. As artists we need to get help from other people to move our art forward into the world, and grant writing is a great way to start practicing asking for help - both from your colleagues and friends during the process and from the people who are granting funds.
There are two main phases to the writing process. Phase 1 is where you are like a hunter and a gatherer; you are going around gathering everything you can get. So what are you gathering? You're gathering all the ways to write about your art and your current project. This includes writing on your own about your process, development as an artist, audience, etc., and using the questions on the grant application. Also, you are having friends interview you to get you talking about your work because you're going to say things in speaking that you would never even think of writing down. In essence, you're gathering your own language.
In Phase 2 you're going in with a scalpel and slashing and cutting and making your answer pointed and tight so there is not one word that is extraneous. I'm sure you can imagine you can't do those processes at the same time - it makes you totally nuts. So that's why you need, once again, time: at least overnight, but if you can spend a couple of months getting your grant together that would really be the best. You've got all this time to do your hunting and your gathering, take a break, don't look at anything, and then a lot of time to go back and cut, cut, cut till you get down to the essentials.
I want you to go out and start interviewing your audience about what your work means to them. This is one of the most powerful things you will do for your project. How are you going to find those people? I started with a group of friends who had seen my work. Interview the people who love your work - those are the people you want to find to talk to. This interview is extremely useful. The kinds of things you're going to be asking are: "After you have seen my work, what questions do you have? What about my work is disturbing, intriguing?" Write down verbatim the words and the phrases people are using to describe your work. This will blow you away because they are going to say things that you never thought of before. They are going to make connections in the work that you never thought of before. You can ask them things like "How would you describe my work to somebody else?"
I encourage you to go and interview your audience members. They can be people who know you well or people who don't know you that well - but just start to ask them these kinds of questions. When I talk about the hunting and the gathering phase, the widening phase, this is one of the things you do to collect ideas and language to describe your work.
The grant panel that reviews your application is your first audience for this project. Your job is to inspire them about your work. Grant writing is about how to express yourself clearly and passionately so that the reviewer is so excited about your project that they'll fight to get your piece funded.
When I sat on a panel reviewing grants, the grants that got funded were the ones where the words painted pictures in my mind when the applicant answered the questions. As a grant reviewer, I needed to get excited about the work and I got excited when I could see the work in my mind's eye.
Remember to be personal and specific in all your proposals and remember that the funders want you to do an excellent job on your proposal because it makes their job easier. Remember that it is not a computer that's reading your application. It's another person - often another artist. And that this is not a solo effort. You've got to get other people involved in your process.
So use your grant writing to hone your vision and meet the world with your art. The grant writing process helps you do both those things and really makes you a better artist.

According to the Calgary Hitmen website on Thursday, the Calgary Hitmen have traded 19 year-old forward Zane Jones to the Everett Silvertips for 17 year-old defenceman Micheal Zipp.
In 24 games this season with Calgary, Jones recorded 11 goals and 13 assists for 24 points and was a +19. A native of Olds, Alberta (an hour north of Calgary), this will be Jones's fourth Western Hockey League team as he has previously played for the Victoria Royals and Chilliwack Bruins.
Zipp, from Edmonton, meanwhile only has one assist in 23 games played and is a -3 over that period.
It will be interesting to see if the trade of Jones will weaken a Hitmen team offensively. The Hitmen have scored 20 goals in the last three games, including a 10-2 romp over the Seattle Thunderbirds on Sunday.
The Hitmen are currently at 29-8-5 and have an eight point lead over the Edmonton Oil Kings in the Eastern Conference Standings. Their next game is January 10 in Regina, with their next home game Sunday against the Kelowna Rockets at 4:00 p.m.

ST LOUIS (LALATE) An Alabama deputy sheriff was killed on Black Friday during a shootout. Sheriff Deputy Scott Ward was killed by Michael Jansen who eventually was also fatally shot.
Ward has a long history of serving his country and local community. Before joining the force fifteen years ago, he was U.S. Coast Guard reservist. He served in Afghanistan last year and had been a SWAT member locally.
On Friday, Baldwin County Sheriff officers responded to the residence of Michael Jansen of Fairhope. During their visit to Jansen's mobile home, twenty miles from Mobile, Jansen allegedly began firing at certain officers.
Ward was instantly killed. A second deputy not yet identified to news was shot; he remains in critical condition today. "I have worked with him his entire time that he has been with the Sheriff's Office," a local sheriff told the Al.com today. "He was a great law enforcement officer."
A news statement issued by the Sheriff's Office today indicated that sheriffs "were engaged in an officer involved shooting". Additionally, officials told news that Jansen was "also shot during the exchange and he was pronounced dead at the scene." The matter remains under investigation today.

Ever wondered what the story is behind those beautiful cake rings you see appearing throughout Mexican neighborhoods this time of year? The following is excerpted from Celebraciones Mexicicnas: History, Traditions and Recipes, co-authored by this columnist with recipes by Adriana Almazan Lahl.
January 6, Day of the Three Wise Men, or Día de Los Reyes Magos, is almost like a second Christmas in Mexico, coinciding with Epiphany and celebrating the coming of the Three Wise Men and the presentation of the baby Jesus at the River Jordan for baptism, according to the Catholic religion. It also marks the end of the period of a marathon of holidays that come one after another, beginning on December 12 with the Día de La Virgen de Guadalupe, informally known in Mexico today as the Guadalupe-Reyes Marathon.
This is the day Mexican children wait for all year long, as they anticipate the arrival of Los Reyes Magos (rather than Santa Claus on Christmas Eve). It is the Three Wise Men who will bring them toys, just as they came to ancient Bethlehem bearing gifts for the baby Jesus. (In Mexico, for Christmas, it is more traditional for children to receive clothing). In many areas of Mexico, children leave out their empty shoes on the night of January 5, hoping that they will find them filled with treasures in the morning.
The holiday is also celebrated with the charming tradition of the Rosca de Reyes. This is "the Kings' Cake," a flour-based cake rich with butter and egg yolks, originally in the shape of a ring to echo a crown, but which has grown into an oval as it has "stretched" to accommodate larger crowds. As wheat flour was not introduced to Mexico until the invasion of the Spanish in the 16th century, the rosca likely became part of Mexico's holiday traditions sometime after that (originally, it was the Moors, invading Spain in the eighth century, who brought with them cakes rich in almonds, dried fruits, spices, and refined sugar—all key ingredients in the rosca).
Hidden inside the rosca is a figure of baby Jesus, either plastic or porcelain, to symbolize how Mary and Joseph had to hide Him from King Herod, who had been apprised of the signs that a new and rightful king of Jerusalem would born and ordered all male infants in Bethlehem be put to death. The deadly search is symbolized by the knife cutting the ring cake. As with many Mexican holidays, on January 6 neighbors and family share the light evening meal, each having a chance to find the figure of baby Jesus in their slice of the rosca. The tradition
of the Rosca de Reyes also extends the Christmas celebrations for another few weeks; the lucky guest who finds him is designated to host a tamalda, a party at which tamales and hot chocolate are served, on February 2, Día del Candelaria.
Rosca de Reyes are widely available in San Francisco's Mission District, with many panaderias or Mexican bakeries taking orders in advance and selling out early. Our recommendation is La Mexicana on 24th St. just off the corner of York St. For more on the best Mexican bakeries in the Mission....

The day started off with sunshine, but as we reached our convective temperature(the approximate temperature that the surface must warm to in order for clouds to develop) we were mostly cloudy thanks to the thick cumulus deck. We even had some showers and low-topped thunderstorms(with hail) just after sunset. Despite that we reached a high of 70 at Philly International Airport after a low of 51.
Overnight we'll have showers and low-topped thunderstorms before Midnight, but then partial cloudiness with lows around 50. Sunday shall feature sunshine and then increasing clouds with rain holding off until after dinnertime. Highs will be in the upper 60s to around 70 accompanied with a westerly wind between 10-15mph.
After rain overnight through Monday morning we'll have a sunny afternoon as highs will be in the middle 60s; there will be a short wave pushing through the Delmarva overnight into Tuesday so there may be some light rain, but otherwise a few clouds with lows in the upper 40s and then highs Tuesday will be in the middle 60s.

Nov. 15, 2011
UCLA (5-5, 4-3 Pac-12) will play host to new conference member Colorado (2-9, 1-6 Pac-12) on Saturday in the final home game of the season. The game will be televised nationally by Versus with kickoff set for 4:35 p.m. PT. Ted Robinson, Glenn Parker and Akbar Gbaja-Biamila will form the announce team. AM 570 (KLAC) and the Bruin IMG Radio Network (Chris Roberts, Matt Stevens and Wayne Cook) will radio broadcast the contest. The game will also be broadcast nationally on SIRIUS XM (Ch. 92).
Saturday's game will also honor UCLA's 18 seniors in the final regular season home game of their careers. Being honored prior to the game are - DL Nate Chandler, RB Derrick Coleman, DB Jeff Dickmann, DB Tony Dye, DL Justin Edison, WR Taylor Embree, PK Tyler Gonzalez, DB Jamie Graham, TE Cory Harkey, OL Mike Harris, TE Austin Hill, LB Glenn Love, OL Kai Maiava, WR Nelson Rosario, OL Sean Sheller, WR Josh Smith, WR Ryan Sublett, LB Sean Westgate.
Hall of Famer Randy Cross To be Honored: UCLA and The National Football Foundation (NFF) & College Hall of Fame will jointly honor Randy Cross with an NFF Hall of Fame On-Campus Salute on Nov. 19 during the game between the Bruins and the University of Colorado.
Honorary Captain: Former halfback/defensive back Kermit Alexander is Saturday's honorary captain. Alexander earned varsity letters at UCLA from 1960-62 and earned All-America and first-team all-conference honors as a senior halfback when he led the Bruins in rushing (82-499), receiving (12-178) and kickoff returns (12-313). In the 1962 Rose Bowl Alexander, then a junior, led the Bruins in rushing (10-48) and receiving (3-26), in a 21-3 loss to Minnesota. He was a two-time team MVP and All-Around Excellence award winner, and was once described by USC coach John McKay "as the best all-around college football player in the nation." Selected in the first round of the 1963 NFL Draft by San Francisco, he enjoyed a long professional career as a defensive back, punt and kick returner with the 49ers, Rams and Eagles. In 143 games played (114 starts), he made 43 interceptions, returning three for touchdowns. Today, Alexander lives in Riverside with his wife Tami and their five children, whom the couple adopted from Haiti following the earthquake in 2010.
More UC-CU Series Information: UCLA holds a 4-2 lead in a series which dates back to 1980. The Bruins have a 2-1 edge in games played in the Los Angeles area with the Buffaloes posting a 31-17 win in the lone series game played in the Rose Bowl in 2002. Last season, Colorado was 5-7 overall and posted a 2-6 mark in Big 12 Conf. play which was good for 5th place in the North Division.
In the 2003 contest, UCLA dropped a 16-14 decision in Boulder in Karl Dorrell's first game as head coach. CU took an early 7-0 lead and on UCLA's ensuing possession, quarterback Matt Moore was sidelined for the remainder of the contest after taking a blow to the knee. Drew Olson came on to throw two touchdown passes, one to Craig Bragg which tied the score at seven-all, and one late in the third quarter to Marcedes Lewis which pushed the Bruins into the lead at 14-10. Late in the fourth quarter, Colorado drove 63 yards to regain the lead, at 16-14 after the extra point was blocked, on a short touchdown pass with 2:15 remaining in the game. Following the kickoff, UCLA took over at it's own 10-yard line but was unable to sustain a drive. CU had 245 yards of total offense in the game, two more than the Bruins.
In 2002, Colorado outscored the Bruins 31-17 in a game played in Pasadena. The visitors jumped out to a 10-7 lead at the half. In the second half of action, the Buffaloes scored on their first four possessions (two touchdowns and two field goals) to take a 31-10 lead with 9:16 remaining in the game. UCLA scored a late touchdown on a Cory Paus to Craig Bragg pass. CU did not commit a turnover in the contest and accounted for 471 yards of offense, 325 on the ground.

On Sunday, Mara Liasson, National Public Radio's national political correspondent, blamed George W. Bush and Republicans for the situation in Ukraine, claiming their inaction in 2008 when Vladimir Putin invaded Georgia set the stage for the current crisis, Breitbart.com reported.
"I would say the critique from Republicans is more of a retrospective critique," she said. "In other words, the president's past actions, his reset with Russia failed. That's what laid the groundwork for this. The reset, of course, was the idea that if you had better relations with Russia they would help us on Iran, Syria and North Korea. But the interesting thing is that back under George W. Bush, when Russia essentially annexed a part of Georgia, there was very little criticism from Republicans, and maybe that, much more than the failure to bomb Syria, is what laid the groundwork for this."
But as Breitbart's Joel B. Pollack noted, Bush strongly condemned the action and issued sanctions which were undone just months later by Barack Obama.
There were, of course, other problems which Liasson did not mention.
Although Bush's response was seen as weak, the Georgian army fell apart, the UPI noted at the time, and no one expected the Russians to invade.
The UPI also said that "as a result of the Georgian collapse, a lot of U.S. material that has been delivered to Georgia to make it militarily credible has fallen into Russian hands already."
Bush, who was at the Olympics in Beijing at the time, issued a statement calling for an end to the bombings.
"Georgia is a sovereign nation, and its territorial integrity must be respected. We have urged an immediate halt to the violence and a stand-down by all troops. We call for the end of the Russian bombings," he said.
"Russian aggression must not go unanswered," former Vice President Dick Cheney said on August 10.
A report issued by the Congressional Research Service in 2009 added:
Also appearing to take a stronger stance, former President Bush on August 11 referred to his conversation with Putin on August 8, stating that he had told Putin that "this violence [in Georgia] is unacceptable," and that he had "expressed my grave concern about the disproportionate response of Russia and that we strongly condemn bombing outside of South Ossetia." On August 12, then-Secretary Rice stated that she was encouraged by reports from French Foreign Minister Koucher in Moscow that there was progress in talks with President Medvedev about the EU peace plan, and reiterated that the United States supports Georgia's territorial integrity and "its democratically elected government."
Breitbart said it is certainly possible to trace the current crisis beyond Syria and Benghazi, and noted that Liasson failed to mention that Sarah Palin predicted the Ukrainian invasion in 2008 -- a prediction that drew howls from the left.
"Russia grew bolder in the lame-duck years of the Bush administration--which had come to office, like Obama, seeking to find new ways to accommodate Putin's regime," Pollack wrote.
But, he added, accommodation turned into appeasement under Obama.
"In the context of Obama's outright capitulation on missile defense, and his infamous promise to then-President Dmitry Medvedev in 2012 that he would have more 'flexibility' after his re-election, Republican criticism looks to be spot-on--even if many of the party's suggested alternatives are, as Liasson notes, rather underwhelming," Pollack said.
Although Liasson is normally fair to Republicans, Pollack said she "stepped over the line" with her comments, which he called revisionist. She is also not the only media figure to blame the former president for the current crisis.
As we reported last Monday, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow attempted to blame Bush for the crisis in Ukraine and pretty much everything else going on in the Middle East today.

Indie film director Jim Jarmusch spent seven years trying to get his vampire drama "Only Lovers Left Alive" made, but the struggle paid off with a nomination for Cannes' highest award, the Palm d'Or. Finally released in the U.S., the film begins showing at Sun-Ray in Riverside on Friday.
Tom Hiddleston, who plays Loki in the "Thor" and "Avengers" movies, stars as age-old vampire Adam, a popular rock musician whose reclusive lifestyle baffles fans who endeavor to locate him. Winner of an Oscar for "Michael Clayton" and several critic awards for her astonishing performance in "We Need to Talk About Kevin," Tilda Swinton plays Eve. She returns to her lover Adam in Detroit from an extended stay in Tangier when she feels he's become a danger to himself.
Adam and Eve reconnect, but the arrival of Eve's turbulent younger sister Ava throws their world into disarray. Mia Wasikowska, best known as Alice in Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" and absolutely brilliant in "Stoker," plays Ava. Supreme actor John Hurt, his innumerable credits including "The Elephant Man" and "Nineteen Eighty-Four," rounds out the cast. He plays a vampire version of the real playwright Christopher Marlowe, a contemporary of Shakespeare's.
Recognized for minimalism, lack of traditional narrative and lingering pace, the one and only Jarmusch ("Stranger than Paradise," "Coffee and Cigarettes") won the Grand Prix at Cannes for his 2005 "Broken Flowers." See his latest offering "Only Lovers Left Alive" this week at Sun-Ray Cinema, 1028 Park Street, Jacksonville.
Show times:
Friday and Saturday, May 16 and 17, at 4:45 p.m. and 9:05 p.m.
Sunday, May 18, at 4:45 p.m.
Monday through Thursday, May 19-22, at 4:35 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.

Track 14: "It's Good"
Sounds Like: Someone hasn't been paying attention. It sounds like The Alan Parsons Project's "The Cask of Amontillado," it has a Jay-Z diss about which much is being made, and it's got Jadakiss in fine form and Drake in Drake form.
Pros: It's neither unheard of nor exactly a bad idea to sample Alan Parsons; the instrumental kills your skepticism about thirty seconds in (once it turns into a sample instead of a straight interpolation.) Wayne's verse comes alive precisely when that Jay-Z line comes in; it'll accomplish what it was meant to (i.e. album sales), if you can ignore what it probably wasn't meant to (moralizing that lasts until the probably-also-to-be-delayed Tha Carter V).
Cons: Drake. Forget flow for a second (it's difficult, admittedly); you could reconstruct almost his entire verse from his collected output over the past year; add his lines about Wayne's jail time, and you've almost got the entire thing.
ESPN Outtake: "I just touched down / kick the motherfucking field goal."
TMI Double-Entendre: "P—- good as baby powder" is the sort of line for which this category was created.

Edge of the Woods farm offers pony rides and petting zoos that travel to you! I found out they also have a 4-H club for ponies, one for mini-ponies and now one for Breyer horses. I have seen this company around southern NJ at various events. The animals are all in wonderful shape and the owners are seen checking up on them and rotating them through so if it is too hot or one looks tired (at Salem county fair it was brutal!) they get to rest. The prices are so much less than most pony ride places and the owners are really friendly. I took their business card and will be getting them to do a party soon!

According to Entertainment Weekly on Jan. 7, director Bryan Singer mentioned that "X-Men: Apocalypse" would delve into the history of mutant origins. He was unsure if "X-Men: Days of Future Past" will have an end tease that would lead to the follow-up sequel because whatever occurs in one film will directly lead to the other.
"It will also address historical mutant-cy, meaning the deep past, mutant origins and things like that. It's something that's always intrigued me when we think about our Gods and our history and miracles and powers".
This would be rather representative of the fact that Apocalypse is god-like in nature to primitives and also he is the first existing mutant. Singer historically already teased a Twitter picture of him and his staff of writers "X-Men: Days of Future Past's" Simon Kinberg as well as "X2's" Dan Harris and Michael Dougherty. The tweet said, "Late night #XMen #Apocalypse story session. #SimonKinberg @DanimalHarris @Mike_Dougherty It's snowing in Egypt!"
For those not familiar with the Apocalypse character, his real name is En Sabah Nur and was born around 5,000 years ago. He was left abandoned by the community he was born into due to his malformed appearance. Later on, a nomadic tribe slaughtered En Sabah Nur's people and was adopted by the raiders. The leader of the nomadic group saw great power from the child and thus coined him the name translated "The First One". It seems that such a name is appropriate to the origin of mutants that director Singer is alluding to.
"X-Men: Apocalypse" is scheduled to be released May 27, 2016.

Getting ready to do your first presentation to a VC or angel? A good beginning leads to a happy ending. An experienced speaker and writer provides entertaining and useful advice on why your business presentations should open with a spark instead of a spreadsheet.
This well-written article gives practical advice on how to think about acquisitions and five no-nonsense tips on how to do them productively for all concerned.
During a round of investment in seed- (start-up) and early stage companies, angel investors typically invest from $25,000 to $100,000 each. The round usually totals between $250,000 and $1 million, and the company valuations run from $1 million to $3 million. Collectively, the angels purchase from 20 to 40 percent of a company's equity and seek a return of 20-30x over five years.
Since the Internet bubble burst, the pre-money valuations of seed-stage companies by venture capitalists have averaged between $1 million and $3 million. Angel investors tend to participate at earlier investment stages than VCs, so pre-money valuations for angel deals nearly always fall into this admittedly wide range. What factors within this range impact the valuation of a specific company?
The accompanying Valuation Worksheet provides entrepreneurs and investors with an empirical basis for deciding if a start-up company should be valued near the top or bottom of the range. It's not designed to be used for definitive valuation calculations.
The Valuation Worksheet lists major factors and key issues to consider in judging the value of a seed (start-up) company. Note the following features:
Entrepreneurs can use the worksheet to gain insights into what investors are looking for in a fundable seed-stage company and to identify factors that justify higher pre-money valuations. The worksheet is also a roadmap on how entrepreneurs can improve the fundability of their enterprises and increase the pre-money valuation.
This article provides an excellent framework not only for how to raise money but also for how to think about raising money. Key point: Always stay nine months ahead of your need for cash.
Are your startup financials accurate? Odds are they are not, perhaps significantly so, because you have not spent the necessary time and effort forecasting revenues. This article explains why revenues, not expenses, are the most important--and difficult--numbers to get right.

Wesboro Baptist Church members picketed Brad Paisley outside the country star's show in Bonnor Springs, Kansas on Sunday, according to a New York Daily News report on Monday. Paisley was targeted by the controversially infamous protestors at his weekend concert because of one of his most popular songs called "Alcohol." Paisley, himself, doesn't drink, though.
Yet, "Alcohol" is the apparent reason for the Westboro Baptist Church protesters showing up to express their disapproval of him. After all, one of the signs asserted "God hates drunks." Other than the protesters, however, the song is widely accepted by even being one of the 100 Greatest Country Songs of All-Time according to Rolling Stone magazine.
Other signs that were displayed outside the Paisley concert tend to be confusing. Other signs appeared to have nothing to do with the country super star or his adoring fans that were coming to hear his concert. One sign said "God controls all." Yet another sign stated "Sin breeds violence."
When Paisley saw they were targeting him outside the Cricket Wireless Amphitheater where he was to perform, he approached them. More than that, he also landed a selfie of himself standing before the group of Westboro Baptist Church protesters. According to Yahoo! News, along with the selfie, he wrote on social media:
Westboro Baptist Selfie!! Or west-Burro(ass) selfie. Hopefully they can hear the show out here. We'll play loud.
This isn't the first concert in which the Westboro Baptist Church protesters have appeared. About three months ago, the group picketed a Lorde concert in Kansas City, Missouri. At that time, they claimed that the pop singer was teaching young people how to be indolent rebels. Last September, they protested a Vince Gill performance in Kansas City. They targeted Gill for divorcing his first wife and remarrying. Gill told the protesters:
You know what else <Jesus> said? He said a lot about forgiveness, about grace. You guys don't have any of that.
The Westboro Baptist Church has nothing to do with the Baptist church. They are most infamous for protesting at the funerals of military persons in the United States. They also repeatedly target homosexuals in their protests.

College Hockey:Kline's OT Winner Lifts Western Michigan Past Fairbanks
Broncos Recover From 2-0 Deficit
KALAMAZOO, Mich. — Co-captains Mike Bishai and Dana Lattery tallied three points each and senior Chad Kline scored 1:11 into overtime as Western Michigan defeated Alaska-Fairbanks Saturday night, 5-4.
Kline lifted a wrist shot over the right shoulder of UAF goaltender Lance Mayes to end a game that saw WMU score four unanswered goals after starting the game down 2-0. Senior goaltender Mike Mantua had 25 saves for the Broncos, including a brilliant penalty kill that saw the WMU down one man for five minutes. Mayes also finished with 22 saves.
UAF coach Guy Gadowsky gave credit when credit is due.
"I felt it was an excellent hockey game," he said. "I think we deserve a little credit for coming back when down 4-2, we had a chance to ice the game with a 5-on-3 power play late in the third and we didn't do that, we had a terrible breakdown on a defensive zone face off in overtime, and they certainly deserve the win."
WMU coach Jim Culhane was glad for the victory, but still isn't satisfied with the team's performance.
"Walking out the door, we'll take the two points, but there is still a lot of work to do," Culhane said.
WMU had two key chances to score early off UAF defensive turnovers when Kline's shot at 3:06 dribbled wide of Mayes and Jeff Campbell's wrist shot from the slot was also denied. UAF got on the board first when sophomore Cam Keith took a rebound from Blaine Bablitz's shot and beat Mantua between the legs to give the Nanooks a 1-0 lead.
UAF would score again 33 seconds later when senior Bobby Andrews broke in alone from the right side of the ice and beat Mantua low to give UAF a two-goal lead midway through the first period.
Again, defensive mistakes almost hurt the Broncos on the scoreboard during the game when freshman Mat Ponto deflected a clearing attempt off a UAF forward, only to have the puck fall behind Mantua before he covered it up.
Freshman Pat Dwyer took a pass from Bishai and one-timed it past Mayes from the top of the crease at 18:25 to decrease the UAF lead to 2-1.
WMU would score their second of four consecutive goals early in the second period when sophomore Nic Boileau took a drop pass from Paul Davies and roofed the puck past Mayes to even the score at two goals a piece.
After UAF freshman Aaron Voros received a five-minute boarding major at 9:29, WMU capitalized when defenseman Mike Jarmuth's shot hit the post and trickled in past Mayes to give the Brown and Gold a 3-2 lead.
Voros would receive another penalty at 19:21 for interference, and the Broncos took advantage once again. Campbell took a feed from Bishai and Lattery and dented the twine to give WMU a 4-2 lead.
UAF finally received a break early in the third period when Bishai took the puck into the UAF zone two-on-one and fed Campbell with a nice pass, only to have the shot slowly dribble by a clearly beaten Mayes.
Following WMU senior Anthony Battaglia's cross-checking penalty at 2:07, the Nanooks made the game a one-goal affair when Mantua wandered out of the net trying to see around a screen, only to have Bablitz wrap-around behind the net and score to decrease the WMU lead to 4-3.
UAF would score 57 seconds later after freshman Jared Sylvestre went top- shelf from the top of the crease over a laid-out Mantua to even the score at four each.
Everything seemed, like the previous game, to go UAF's way until Jeremy Cheyne was assessed a five-minute major and a game disqualification for spearing at 8:58 and Bishai was given a minor penalty for charging at 10:02, giving the Nanooks a five-on-three advantage for two minutes, including a five minute power play. The Bronco penalty-kill proceeded to deny the Nanooks' every shot and brought the crowd of 2,648 at Lawson Ice Arena to its feet.
Culhane was excited about the great job the special teams did late.
"All six defenseman on the penalty kill were the difference in the game," he said. "How exciting for senior Chad Kline to score a goal in overtime to give us the win."
The Broncos proceeded to carry the momentum into the overtime session when Kline took advantage of a UAF defensive breakdown and beat Mayes high glove side to give WMU a thrilling 5-4 victory, and helping the Broncos salvage two points in the series.
The 1-1-0 Broncos host a home-and-home series with I-94 rival Michigan next weekend, while 3-1-0 Nanooks continue their bitter intra-state feud with Alaska-Anchorage.
