The race will begin on Friday, February 17, 2017 at 8:00 AM. This is the only race that will begin on Friday. All other races start at 8am on Saturday February 18, 2017.
Bet Big, Run Long. Produced by Beyond Limits Running, the 4th Annual Jackpot Ultra Running Festival takes place on Presidents' Weekend 2017 (February 17-19) at Southern Nevada's newest and largest amenity-filled park. Located minutes from the Las Vegas strip and just 10 miles from Las Vegas Airport, the $16 million, 100 acre Cornerstone Park is nestled among desert landscape and is anchored by a 31 acre bird sanctuary lake. The lake is surrounded by a massive grass area, entertainment plaza, individual picnic pavilions with lake views, walking/running trails, volleyball and basketball courts, restrooms, BBQ's, a warming kitchen and ample parking. And let's not forget all of the wildlife so many of us got to enjoy as we raced by. The Jackpot course consists of roughly a 2.38 mile loop with 80 feet of elevation ascend/descend per loop (4,000 feet for the 100 mile race). At an elevation of 1,900 feet and average mid-February high/low temperature of 61/45, the Jackpot course is extremely fast. Just ask how many runners had a PR in our inaugural event! Run on a course that is 45% groomed crushed gravel trails, 50% wide asphalt paths, and just 5% bridge and concrete surfaces, the course is well suited for veteran runners wanting to PR, and with a 30 hour time limit, it is perfect for first time ultra runners. The RFID chip timed race starts at the entertainment plaza and makes a horseshoe type loop around the lake with lots of social runner interactions. There is a short out and back portion of the course, but importantly, the turn is a wide looping turn, as opposed to a speed-reducing 180 degree turn. Runners will be treated to two small picturesque bridge crossings every loop. The 80 feet of ascend during each 2.38 mile loop occurs gently, without any steep climbs. The Jackpot course is destined to become one of the fastest looped courses in the Southwest. As with other Beyond Limits Running races, the aide station will be once again heavily stocked to take care of runners' nutritional needs and will serve a variety of hot meals, prepared with an on-site warming kitchen. Awards and runner bling will be very memorable. All runners will receive a unique finisher's medal, with 100 mile finishers earning a large buckle (both new designs). Both medals and buckles will be appropriately themed (think casinos). Not everything stays in Vegas and every runner will be leaving with a unique full of bling. As demonstrated during the last three Jackpot Ultra Running Festivals, the race directors go all out when it comes to designing unique awards. First through third place male and female finishers in each race will earn a trophy case quality award, while age group winners in the 100 mile race will receive the same. Lastly, to create a full-blown festival environment, a live band will perform throughout the day at the start/finish line aide station, and of course Elvis and the Fabulous Las Vegas Showgirls will make another appearance, as will Vegas' best little cheerleaders. Stay motivated and running strong as you listen to one of Vegas' hottest bands. If you haven't figured out already, this is a great vacation getaway ultra. With cheap Southwest Airline flights and 5 affordably priced hotels located 1-3 miles from the race venue, invite family and friends and take full advantage of the 3-day Presidents' Weekend. Enjoy one of Vegas' awarding winning restaurants and catch a show on the strip as you celebrate and recover in style. Bet Big, Run Long and Hit the JACKPOT at the Jackpot Ultra Running Festival.

Did you ever think it is better to tell just a little white lie rather than have someone be upset with you? We all have at one time or another.
Then there is the opposite extreme where the truth is told in anger with judgment, blame and attack. Not pretty!
What a gift to have a boss who is not afraid of the truth, who is willing to let you be uncomfortable for the sake of growth. What a relief to know exactly where you stand without feeling diminished for a mistake.
Telling the truth is an art form that we all have to learn. Often the best truth tellers are those who grew up being pleasers. You know, the folks who would always smile and say "yes" to everything so they would not make any waves and always be everyone's friend.
Except all that smiling and pandering really does get old.
With a truth teller as a boss you are treated as an adult. You learn that you are strong and resourceful and you do not have to be protected.
Telling the truth is NOT spilling your guts! Being in the presence of an extraordinary boss who can say it like it is and still have you feel capable is a gift. When you find a boss like that, you don't have to keep changing jobs. You have hit the goldmine.

Search and Rescue dogs fill a place in our society which is unlike any other. Humans can develop information, they can add too or delete information as more facts come in, and of course, there are some who may have intuitive insight as to the whereabouts of a person; however only the well trained Search and Rescue Dogs (SARs) are able to put feet on the ground, in the water or over a mountain to look for a person by scent. Many times we hear of the work they do and think that is wonderful, but give little thought to the hours of training and human time spent learning right alongside them.
These dogs are highly qualified professionals. Spending many months learning to not be distracted by other stimulus, such as people wanting to pet them or give them food; when at work they will stay at work until the job is completed or there is a particular release command by their handler. They are paid for their dedication and hard work with a toy to fetch or a "Good Job" and a release from their handler.
Our communities call them in to work when emotions are high and hearts are fragile. They jog in right alongside, Emergency Personnel from medical, law enforcement and fire. When they come in to help with a case, the humans on the sidelines are grateful and caring; but once the job is done no matter what the outcome, we give little thought to the service they have provided. And they (human and dog) come in to help each time they are called with no expectation of for compensation of any kind.
It is the compensation which brings us to this article. There are SARs Teams in almost any community and they can be located by looking them up in the local library, calling the office telephone number of local law and enforcement during Monday thru Friday (business hours) or the local Humane Society. Should there be a desire for donation to their worthwhile organization call and see what they need and help out that way. Should we ever need these services they are there for us. www.emd.wa.gov/search_rescue/sar_index.shtml This group works with the military for search and rescue exercises and www.kcsar.com is a county group located in Seattle, Washington. There are groups across the country and in Mexico and Canada. Other countries have this organization as well; each has the same ability that is to help locate and bring home a lost or sick person.

Nov. 23, 1999
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - UCLA goalkeeper Lindsay Culp was named to the Pac-10 all-academic first team, Commissioner Tom Hansen announced Tuesday.
This is the third straight year Culp, a Political Science major with a 3.26 grade-point average, has earned the honor. Last year, she was named to the first team and in 1997, she earned second team all-academic acclaim.
A senior from Santa Rosa, Culp was a four-year starter from 1996-99. During her tenure at UCLA, she set numerous school records, including career wins (55), saves (265) and shutouts (32). She also holds school records for most shutouts in a season (10 in 1998) and most wins (17 in 1998 and '97).
Also earning Academic All-Pac-10 acclaim was sophomore midfielder Bethany Bogart, who picked up honorable mention honors. A biology major with a 3.31 grade-point average, Bogart led the team in assists this season with seven. She also started in all but one of UCLA's 21 games in '99.
To be eligible for selection to the Pac-10 academic team, a student-athlete must have a minumum 3.0 overall grade point average and be either a starter or significant contributor.

Any article about a 4 day concert with over 100 musical acts, especially the upcoming Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival-- the West Coast's biggest and boldest concert event-- would be the work of a national Music Examiner. Well, this Pittsburgh Indie Movie Examiner is about to turn the tables (or should I say turntables) and let you in on the answer to the question I posed above. An eye-opening answer that is a very cool and is to many a little known secret.
Besides all the great music happening this weekend in the wilds of Tennessee, there is also a pretty good Film fest taking place, as well. Bonnaroo has a Cinema tent (with air conditioning) and they show over 25 films during the fest. A fest that features a bumper crop of Classics, Comedies, Documentaries, Animation, Shorts and even the NBA finals appear on the big screen.
Bonnaroo also has premieres (some before they arrive in local theaters) like David Wain's "They Came Together". Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd star as a couple that get together, break up and then come together again or that's what the title would suggest in this satirical parody of Rom-Com pictures. Similar to what Wain did for summer camp movies in "Wet American Summer" (which also is playing this weekend).
Other premieres are "Dear White People", an insightful and humorous exploration of modern racial issues, and 80's throwback "Ping Pong Summer" (also available on VOD). A touching underdog tale of one teen finding his way and persevering despite what seems like to him insurmountable odds. Throw in a new wave soundtrack of old MTV hits and you have one winning return.
What would any good Film fest (pardon me, I mean Music fest) be without having a strong Documentary series, too. Highlights include "DamNation", a telling real life study of why removing damns are actually revitalizing nature with both fish and fowl flourishing in man-made tributaries, and the environmentally conscious movie, "The Human Experiment". An examination into how chemicals are not only becoming more prevalent in our society but, inside our own bodies.
Don't forget the musical aspect of Bonnaroo '14 because there is quite a few new flicks on worthwhile artists such as African music legend Fela Kuti, the other guitarist in the Grateful Dead, the one and only Bob Weir, plus a film about the ever blossoming Nashville music scene. Also playing is Charlie Chaplin's "The Kid", accompanied by a live performance by composer Marc Ribot. Ribot has helped write songs for esteemed artists such as Tom Waits, John Zorn and Elton John (who headlines Sunday night, June 15th in his first American festival appearance).
And that's not all! In addition, Cult classics are on display. Take for example a Farrelly Brothers' career retrospective with them personally introducing the 20th year anniversary edition of "Dumb & Dumber" (the Sequel to the Trailer has already gone viral), a tribute to Director Harold Ramis (who recently passed away) with a showing of the one and only "Ghostbusters" and a late night screening of the original "Friday the 13th" on that terrifying date under a full moon.
All that and there is still more (and that's not even counting the music you might hear)! So check out the full lineup or the schedule times here and (if you are attending, tickets are still available) have fun seeing visually stimulating Movies at one of the best Musical festivals in the country.

Man sentenced in Hilo car break-ins, thefts
A 46-year-old Hilo man was sentenced Tuesday to prison in connection with a series of property crimes during 2010 and '11 in Hilo.
3rd Circuit Court Judge Glenn S. Hara sentenced Joseph V. Ada to concurrent five-year prison terms, despite not having a prior felony conviction, according to the Hawaii County Office of the Prosecuting Attorney.
He pleaded guilty May 29 to 12 counts first-degree unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle, six counts second-degree theft and one count each fraudulent use of a credit card and third-degree identity theft.
Ada was arrested on Nov. 10, 2011, after a police investigation found he was responsible for at least a dozen thefts from cars in the downtown Hilo area, according to the office. He reportedly used credit cards and debit cards taken from the vehicles at various businesses in Hilo.

It's not uncommon, especially when there are multiple founders, to debate and even argue about titles. This typically happens very early in the life of a startup. Such arguments are both a waste of time and potentially lethal. They can destroy your startup. Focus on your business. Don't worry about titles. Call everyone a co-founder and move on to more important issues. I explain why in this short 2 minute video.

Setubal are managed by former Porto striker Domingos Paciencia.
Paciencia enjoyed a successful playing career with Porto, appearing in more than 350 games and scoring over 100 goals.
In 1990 he was named as the Portuguese Footballer of the Year after winning the Portuguese Golden Boot, a feat which he repeated in 1996.
During his time with the Portuguese giants he won seven league titles, five Portuguese Cups and six Portuguese Super Cups.
He also enjoyed success on the international stage, scoring 9 goals in 34 appearances, which included a goal at the City Ground in 1996 European Championships.
His final international goal came at the Estadio do Bonfim when he opened the scoring in a 3-1 win over Armenia.
After a brief spell with Tenerife the forward returned to Porto, playing for a further two years until 2001 when he became assistant coach and then coach of the club's B team.
In 2006 he became manager of first division side Uniao de Leiria, but despite finishing seventh he left the club before the end of the season, joining Academica de Coimbra ahead of the new season.
Two years later Paciencia joined Sporting de Braga, leading them to their highest-ever finish of second in his first season, meaning they secured qualification to the UEFA Champions League.
Despite exiting Europe's elite competition in the group stage, Braga entered the UEFA Europa League and they reached the final after knocking out Lech Poznan, Liverpool, Dynamo Kiev and Benfica.
On 23rd May 2011 he joined Sporting Lisbon, but despite leading them to a first Portuguese Cup final in four years he parted ways with the club in February 2012 with the club sitting fourth in the Primeira Liga.
On 30th December 2012 Paciencia joined Spanish side Deportivo de La Coruna; however he departed after just four months after being unable to lift the club off the bottom of the league table.

In our opinion
This weekend is Memorial Day weekend. Officially it's about remembering those who died in the service of their country, but the three-day timeframe also marks the unofficial beginning of summer.
For access to this article please sign in or subscribe.
It's also one of the deadliest weekends on the road, particularly when it comes to fatalities caused by over consumption of alcohol. According to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2010, Memorial Day was the second-deadliest after Labor Day with 397 fatalities nationally, and second to New Year's for alcohol-related deaths at 40 percent.

I started a Tumblr blog to collect stories of violence committed against women who refused men's advances (full background story here), and 24 hours into this project, we've received some incredible sets of traffic and engagement numbers. Put your nerd pants on, kids, we're going for a ride.
Really don't think I've ever participated in a project that got this sheer kind of volume right away. Read more
If you've not been following along in the latest brouhaha concerning sexism and the tech industry, this week saw a monster of a flame war spring up around conduct at a tech conference. Many other terrific bloggers have summed up what's been happening, but let me offer a set of bullet points and links to bring everyone up to speed…
Whenever I'm called in to provide the leaders of both public and private sectors training and guidance on using digital tools, I sometimes get a little bit of resistance. And that resistance almost always focuses on a single complaint:I just don't have time for this. People in leadership positions are already juggling a million different roles and tasks, and I'm asking them to take on another that doesn't, at first glance, feel like it has immediate return on time investment. In the nonprofit world especially, movement leaders experience intensive levels of stress, and social media doesn't always seem to make sense in the scramble of trying to save the world.
Trouble's brewing in Germany. No, it's not the euro crisis; it's the good kind of trouble: Feminism is finding new life in networked voices online. Last week, a German blogger named Maike Hank put out a simple, defiant call to end harassment and daily sexism with her post, "This Is Not Normal." It resonated deeply with many on Twitter, and people like Nicole von Horst started sharing their own stories: "The doctor that patted my ass, as I lay in the hospital after an attempted suicide." That's when Anne Wizorek, founder of the blogkleinerdrei and digital media consultant (and, disclaimer, a very good friend of mine), recognized what was happening, and suggested a hashtag to capture the stories: #aufschrei (#outcry). And then all hell broke loose when an article came out in the magazine Stern stating that Rainer Brüderle, Germany's minister for economics and technology, had allegedly sexually harassed a journalist.
At my latest digital-tools-for-social-good workshop in New York yesterday, everyone wanted to know the ins and outs of metrics and measurement. I interviewed social media metrics Beth Kanter recently, and that interview provides a great intro to the concepts of measurement. (I highly recommend her book, Measuring the Networked Nonprofit.) But, I also realized it might be useful to walk through setting up some simple measurements with a free/low-cost tool that I love,Rowfeeder.
There was a lot of chatter last week about Twitter changing the way it allows third parties to access its API, about the potential that it could change how followers are displayed, and that co-founder Ev Williams said at an event that the dream metric that everyone is actually looking for is "how many people saw your tweet."
Yesterday afternoon in New York, and other cities across the Eastern seaboard, fierce thunderstorms hit. No major damage, not even widespread power outages, and yet the social media storm that accompanied the real ones leaned toward frenzied. I got caught up in it, too–live-tweeting the relatively mild conditions we experienced in south Brooklyn, and wondering about the emergency push alert I'd received for the first time on my mobile phone. Pictures of hail and scary looking clouds flew by, while many took the end-times feeling of the cloudburst to preach about the dangers of climate change. And then it was all over an hour later.
This summer's early heat wave has felt like an anomaly, and certainly I've never seen pictures of storms around NYC like those that were shared over the course of the storm. And I'm wondering if that's exactly the point: I can't compare those pictures to pictures I remember as a kid, because I didn't have Twitter when I was ten.

"MILLION DOLLAR ARM" from Disney Films opens Fri., May 16, 2014.
STARRING: Jon Hamm, Madhur Mittal, Suraj Sharma, Asif Mandvi, Lake Bell, Alan Arkin, Bill Paxton, Allyn Rachel and Pitobash.
DIRECTOR: Craig Gillespie ("Mr. Woodcock", "Fright Night" (remake)).
SYNOPSIS: American sports agent J.B. Bernstein (Hamm) and his partner, Ash (Mandvi), go to India seeking baseball pitchers through a reality show called "Million Dollar Arm". They locate two young Indian men whom they hope to teach baseball and make them Major League players.
This film is almost a shameless emotionally-charged work that bolsters Disney's sports catalog quite nicely. Jon Hamm's charm is the catalyst that carries it from scene to scene in the Disney tradition. Baseball may not be America's number one sport any more but this film proves that it can still tug at the old heartstrings with the underdog storyline. One can't help but pull for these kids and their fish-out-of-water tale.
Arkin and Paxton are perfect in their roles. Paxton as a pitching coach is perfect for delivering all (or most) of the game's many clichés. This sport more than any other has a lingo that is steeped in cliché heaven and they're all preserved for posterity here. But that's the game...and it's a home run. (Sorry. Got caught up there.)

Laura Blustein, String & Piano Chamber Music Department Chair
The NEC Preparatory School offers chamber ensembles for string, wind, brass, and piano players ages 8-18, in both classical and jazz. Chamber music at NEC connects young musicians together based on the common interest of their love of music, and is an excellent complement to instrumental education alongisde private lessons and large ensembles.
NEC Prep chamber music is a place where students join in learning some of the most powerful pieces in the repertoire. It demands a high level of artistic exploration, creativity, and expression from each member. Students have the opportunity to:
- Share musical opinions and ways to interpret their scores. Motivated by their peers, they mature into deeper levels of musicianship.
- Develop sensitive listening while playing
- Develop practice and rehearsal techniques
- Gain independence
Playing chamber music is a great way to meet new friends and fellow musicians. Some of our NEC Prep chamber groups play together for years. Their friendships grow and it is a huge part of their lives.
Each group is coached by a highly experienced teacher and performer who has a passion for chamber music and loves to work with young musicians.
Groups receive 28 coaching sessions and may have the opportunity to play in and attend master classes given by distinguished chamber music faculty from the NEC college and other outstanding visiting chamber music artists.
String & Piano Chamber Music
The NEC Preparatory School offers chamber music coaching to ensembles of various levels and ages. Groups will be determined by age, ability, and instrumentation. Each will receive 28 coaching sessions and two end-of-semester workshops. Students are expected to participate in festival concerts each semester.
Sonata-Duo Class
Maria Benotti, instructor
Saturday, 1-2pm

Michel Euler, Associated Press
PARIS — He fires up the succulent pork over gnarled, carbonated pig bones, grows sweet greens in a soil mixed with pumice left over by the hazelnut oil industry and he's creating a new kind of wheat, named after himself — Barber.
It's all about flavor, and being kind to the planet with sustainable agriculture. But Dan Barber, the prize-winning American chef, insists he's not an ecologist who likes to cook.
"I think all chefs who pursue great flavor have good ethics," Barber said in an interview Tuesday after serving up one of his trademark meals at the behest of French chef Alain Ducasse. "When you pursue great flavor, you also pursue great ecology."
Barber is a leading figure in the so-called farm-to-table movement, a culinary approach that places great value on where and how food is produced and prepared. But he holds some views likely to discomfort some foodie purists. He's not opposed to foie gras — banned in California in July on grounds that the forced feeding of ducks or geese to produce the fatty liver is cruel. He dismisses what he says is an obsession with hard-to-grow heirloom vegetables. And — vegetarians take note — he thinks eating meat is "really justifiable" because growing only vegetables drastically depletes the soil of nutrients.
"It's a fallen world. We eat and sacrifice in the process," said Barber, who says eating responsibly includes eating meat and describes himself as a "limited carnivore."
Barber's mission lies elsewhere, and he's passionate about it: marrying the old and the new and shaking up the food chain as we know it to produce more nutritious food with enhanced flavor that reflects the land where it was grown. That means a new role for breeders of crops and livestock — and a stronger voice for chefs.
Introducing his guest chef, Ducasse, one of France's foremost celebrity chefs with restaurants around the globe, called Barber "the future American star."
Ducasse met Barber by chance in Monaco in 1993 after the young American apprentice dined — alone — at the famed chef's Le Louis XV restaurant, a meal that "changed my life," Barber said. It was a fairytale encounter as told by Barber in the introduction to Ducasse's book, "J'aime New York."
Barber went on to open two restaurants, Blue Hill in Manhattan and a second location 25 miles upstate in Pocantico, N.Y., also the location of his Stone Barns, a working farm that serves as Barber's laboratory and provides food to both restaurants.
Over the years, the Ducasse kept his eye on Barber and dined at Blue Hill at Stone Barns in 2009. It was clear to Ducasse that they share a culinary philosophy — creating dishes that exude the authentic tastes of the land, uncompromised by technique.
It was a commonality on display Tuesday, when Barber was the featured chef at Ducasse's "Essential Encounters" program at the Hotel Plaza Athenee restaurant that bears his name. The lunch — for which Barber flew ingredients in from Stone Barns — was a culinary adventure, course by course.
Tasty treats from bite-sized tomato burgers to pork liver wrapped in lacy chocolate or a "fence" of tiny, tender vegetables opened the appetite. A wheat brioche married with ricotta cheese and spinach marmalade was a standout. It was followed by the piece de resistance, a Crossabaw pig from the Stone Barns farm — roasted on pig charcoal made from the bones of slaughtered animals — accompanied by a new variety of squash created by Barber's team.
If an elegant presentation is very much part of the experience, not all of Barber's dishes have elegant names. The brioche — made from wheats that are the "parents" of what will become Barber wheat — is labeled "Aragon X LP3." Then there is the 502 butternut squash.

|This thesis addresses one of the emerging topics in Sonar Signal Processing.,viz.the implementation of a target classifier for the noise sources in the ocean, as the operator assisted classification turns out to be tedious,laborious and time consuming.In the work reported in this thesis,various judiciously chosen components of the feature vector are used for realizing the newly proposed Hierarchical Target Trimming Model.The performance of the proposed classifier has been compared with the Euclidean distance and Fuzzy K-Nearest Neighbour Model classifiers and is found to have better success rates.The procedures for generating the Target Feature Record or the Feature vector from the spectral,cepstral and bispectral features have also been suggested.The Feature vector ,so generated from the noise data waveform is compared with the feature vectors available in the knowledge base and the most matching pattern is identified,for the purpose of target classification.In an attempt to improve the success rate of the Feature Vector based classifier,the proposed system has been augmented with the HMM based Classifier.Institutions where both the classifier decisions disagree,a contention resolving mechanism built around the DUET algorithm has been suggested.

|The dynamic mechanical properties such as storage modulus, loss modulus and damping properties of blends of nylon copolymer (PA6,66) with ethylene propylene diene (EPDM) rubber was investigated with special reference to the effect of blend ratio and compatibilisation over a temperature range –100°C to 150°C at different frequencies. The effect of change in the composition of the polymer blends on tanδ was studied to understand the extent of polymer miscibility and damping characteristics. The loss tangent curve of the blends exhibited two transition peaks, corresponding to the glass transition temperature (Tg) of individual components indicating incompatibility of the blend systems. The morphology of the blends has been examined by using scanning electron microscopy. The Arrhenius relationship was used to calculate the activation energy for the glass transition of the blends. Finally, attempts have been made to compare the experimental data with theoretical models.

|We report unusual spectral narrowing and laser emission from polymer thin films doped with Coumarin 540 dye. The laser emission from the polymer films is found to be highly dependent upon the excitation length of the medium. Even a short length of 1.75 mm of the dye doped film gave rise to laser emission with FWHM of 0.3 nm for a pump intensity of 825 kW cm−2. The partial reflections from the broad lateral surfaces of the free standing films provided the optical feedback for the laser emission. Occurrence of well-resolved equally spaced resonant modes confirmed the effect of a Fabry–Perot-like optical cavity between the film surfaces.
|Even though continental margins cover only about 7–9% of the world ocean area, they are important sites for organic carbon accumulation and hence play a major role in biogeochemical carbon cycling. Surface sediments from the western and eastern continental shelves of India were studied for their total organic matter content and the labile constituents such as total carbohydrates and proteins to get a better understanding of the hydrological and biogeochemical differences of the two regions on the nature of organic matter reaching the surface sediments. The sampling along the west coast was done during September–October 2003, when upwelling signatures were found to be still persisting along the shelf as evidenced by the low-oxygenated, nutrient-rich surface waters. The eastern shelf was sampled during November–December 2002. The shelf was found to be oxygen saturated and oligotrophic during the season. The surface sediments of the west coast contained a greater quantity of total organic matter when compared to the east coast, but the percentages of labile constituents of total organic matter in the sediments were found to be higher in the east coast by a factor of three as compared to the west coast. The differences in the productivity patterns and the hydrographical conditions were found to exert a major influence on the quantity and composition of organic matter in the surface sediments of the western and eastern continental shelves of India.

|A comparative study of two biopolymer based fiber optic humidity sensors is presented in this paper. Sensing elements Agarose and Chitosan swells in the presence of water vapour and undergoes changes in refractive index and modulates the intensity of light propagating through a fiber with Agarose or Chitosan as cladding.
|During an interstitial faunal survey along the south-west coast of Kerala, India, gastrotrich fauna were found in abundance. Together with species of the genera Xenotrichula, Halichaetonotus and Tetranchyroderma, were present several undescribed thaumastodermatid gastrotrichs belonging to the buccal palp bearing genus Pseudostomella. Adults of the new species are characterized by the following traits: total body length of about 300 μm; cuticular armature made up of medium sized pentancres covering the entire dorsolateral surface; pre-buccal, grasping palps bearing five, large papillae dorsally and 4-6 smaller papillae ventrally; adhesive apparatus made up of six anterior, 22-24 ventrolateral, two dorsolateral and six posterior adhesive tubes; caudal organ pear-shaped; frontal organ spherical. Pseudostomella cheraensis sp. nov. is the fourth taxon of the genus known from India; however, all the previous species reported hitherto from India have tetrancres instead of pentancres.

|Highly conductive and transparent thin films of amorphous zinc indium tin oxide are prepared at room temperature by co-sputtering of zinc 10 oxide and indium tin oxide. Cationic contents in the films are varied by adjusting the power to the sputtering targets. Optical transmission study of 11 films showed an average transmission greater than 85% across the visible region. Maximum conductivity of 6×102 S cm−1 is obtained for Zn/In/ 12 Sn atomic ratio 0.4/0.4/0.2 in the film. Hall mobility strongly depends on carrier concentration and maximum mobility obtained is 18 cm2 V−1 s−1 13 at a carrier concentration of 2.1×1020 cm−3. Optical band gap of films varied from 3.44 eV to 3 eV with the increase of zinc content in the film 14 while the refractive index of the films at 600 nm is about 2.0.
|Stable, OH free zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal method by varying the growth temperature and concentration of the precursors. The formation of ZnO nanoparticles were confirmed by x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) studies. The average particle size have been found to be about 7-24 nm and the compositional analysis is done with inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) results shows that the band gap of ZnO nanoparticles is blue shifted with decrease in particle size. Photoluminescence properties of ZnO nanoparticles at room temperature were studied and the green photoluminescent emission from ZnO nanoparticles can originate from the oxygen vacancy or ZnO interstitial related defects.

|Transparent diode heterojunction on ITO coated glass substrates was fabricated using p-type AgCoO2 and n-type ZnO films by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The PLD of AgCoO2 thin films was carried out using the pelletized sintered target of AgCoO2 powder, which was synthesized in-house by the hydrothermal process. The band gap of these thin films was found to be ~3.89 eV and they had transmission of~55% in the visible spectral region. Although Hall measurements could only indicate mixed carrier type conduction but thermoelectric power measurements of Seebeck coefficient confirmed the p-type conductivity of the grown AgCoO2 films. The PLD grown ZnO films showed a band gap of ~3.28 eV, an average optical transmission of ~85% and n-type carrier density of~4.6×1019 cm− 3. The junction between p-AgCoO2 and n-ZnO was found to be rectifying. The ratio of forward current to the reverse current was about 7 at 1.5 V. The diode ideality factor was much greater than 2.

Professor Emerita of Mathematics and Computer Science
Joined Connecticut College: 1982-2013
Motion capture and multiple modalities
Applications of computers in the humanities
"The underlying theme of my professional life has been the liberal arts tradition of crossing boundaries and making connections: between teaching and research, between math and computer science, between computer science and the arts, between theory and application. Humor, hard work, and creativity are absolutely essential." - Bridget Baird
Bridget Baird retired from Connecticut College in 2013.
Professor Baird's current research has concentrated on the recent technology of virtual reality as used in archaeology, motion capture and multiple modalities; and on applications exploring uses of computers in the humanities.
Working with several colleagues and students, she has been using virtual reality to explore archeological sites; employing motion capture to enhance and explore virtual worlds; using multiple modalites of haptics (touch) and audio to examine interactions; and examining ways in which computers can enhance research in the digital humanities.
Baird took her research into the classroom, teaching classes in both computer science and mathematics. She also supervised numerous student research projects, both during the academic year and during the summer. Recent student projects involved archaeology as well as motion capture. Baird traveled to Ecuador with a student, Erin Okabe-Jawdat '10, to collaborate with Ecuadorian colleagues to perform research in archaeology and virtual reality. The results of that research were presented at a conference in Granada, Spain. In recognition of her work, Erin received the Dean of the Faculty's Harold Juli prize for student research.
Baird is also interested in issues about gender equity and ways to increase the participation of women in computer science and mathematics.
Baird has published and made presentations extensively, including "Cochasquí, Ecuador: A Multi-Faceted Approach" at the Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology Conference in 2010, "Expanding CS1: Applications Across the Liberal Arts" at the Consortium for Computing in Small Colleges Northeastern Conference in 2010, "Signs matter: Signage, auditory distractions, and wayfinding success" in Proceedings of the 40th annual conference of the Environmental Design Research Association, in 2009, "One thing Leads to Another (Interdisciplinary Antecedent/consequent Explorations)" at the Eleventh Biennial Arts & Technology Symposium at Connecticut College in 2008, "Web Design: Interface to the Liberal Arts, at the Consortium for Computing in Small Colleges Northeastern Conference in 2006, "Web Design: Interface to the Liberal Arts"at the Consortium for Computing in Small Colleges Northeastern Conference in 2006, "Red Ball: A Collaboration to Develop an Interdisciplinary Interactive Space" at the Tenth Biennial Arts & Technology Symposium at Connecticut College in 2006, "Attribute Correlations between Haptic and Auditory Modalities" at the 9th International Workshop on Immersive Projection Technology and 11th Eurographics Symposium on Virtual Environments in 2005, "Haptic and Sound Correlations: Pitch, Loudness and Texture" at the International Symposium on Non-visual & Multimodal Visualization in 2004.
Baird received many grants, including a Fulbright grant to teach and study in Ecuador (2009), a Mellon Foundation (2005-2007) grant to foster cooperation in computer science among Wesleyan, Trinity and Connecticut College; a Sherman-Fairchild Foundation (2006-2008) grant to encourage cooperative teaching in the arts; a Citizens Bank and AT&T grant to support the arts and technology symposium and outreach to local teachers (2006-2007); a National Science Foundation (2002-2006) grant to increase enrollments (particularly of women and minorities) in math and computer science; a Center for Teaching & Learning grant at Connecticut College (2003-2005) to develop curricula in ethnomathematics; an AT&T grant for professional development of local arts teachers (2001-2003); a National Science Foundation grant for visualization and immersion modules of scientific principles (1998-2000).
Baird was the 2008 recipient of the Helen B. Regan Faculty Leadership Award, which recognizes faculty members who exemplify the College's commitment to shared governance, democratic process and campus community development.
She delivered the Convocation address, "Liberal Arts 2.0" in August, 2008.
Baird was the recipient of the Student Government Association Excellence in Teaching Award for 1994.
Baird was awarded a Fulbright faculty grant in 2008 and spent the spring semester of 2009 at the Universidad San Francisco de Quito. Baird taught a mathematics course that focused on computer applications and a project-based seminar in virtual reality, focusing on the Ecuadorian archaeological site of Cochasqui.

Recognizing this, women's health activists have fought to put some teeth in informed consent by backing it up with legislation. Currently, three states (California, New York, and Texas) have passed informed consent laws specific to hysterectomy. "But as they are written and enforced now, these laws are pretty much a joke," the National Uterine Fibroids Foundation's Dionne says. The law in California was passed in 1987, the one in Texas in 2003 — but when MORE magazine called medical board representatives in these states, they weren't even aware such a law existed. They later reported that few, if any, complaints had been filed — not surprising, since presumably few patients are aware of the laws either. Since 1991, any New York State physician recommending hysterectomy has been required to give the patient information published by the state department of health (DOH) that provides details about the procedure as well as alternatives. But MORE magazine's investigation found little evidence that the information is actually getting into the hands of the women who need it. Within the past year, DOH records show that fewer than 20 ob-gyn practices in the entire state ordered copies of the booklet. That poses the questions: How many of the more than 4,000 ob-gyns in New York are actually complying with the law and providing the required information every time they recommend hysterectomy — and how many, perhaps unknowingly, are breaking the law by not doing so? The DOH spokesperson says it has not received any complaints from patients, and that doctors can download the required information from the DOH Web site. But there's no system to track how often doctors do download, and if they do, whether the information reaches patients, says Assemblywoman Helene E. Weinstein, who cosponsored New York's law. "It's the job of the DOH to ensure physicians distribute it…The purpose was to inform patients who didn't know to ask questions. The ball was dropped," she says.
Caplan cites another problem with informed consent: Even when physicians mention alternatives, they often build in their own bias. They may tell you that laparoscopic or vaginal hysterectomy will carry a higher risk of complications than an open abdominal procedure. "But they are not finishing the sentence and telling you that this is true in their hands, but not necessarily in the hands of others," Caplan says. "Doctors often finesse informed consent in this way because they don't want to lose business." Even ACOG's pamphlet on fibroid treatment, which is what you're most likely to find in ob-gyn offices, avoids mentioning the importance of the doctor's skill. It clearly states that whether a hysterectomy is performed vaginally or abdominally "depends on the size of the fibroids." That's true, as far as it goes. But the brochure fails to mention another crucial element: ability. The larger the fibroid, the more difficult the removal, however it is accomplished. But in many cases, experienced surgeons can do it laparoscopically, vaginally, or a combination of both, and do it well. A 2005 review of 27 trials conducted by the nonprofit Cochrane Collaboration concluded that a physician's decision on which type of surgery to perform (open abdominal, laparoscopic, or vaginal) "is tightly tied to experience and comfort level."
Change: It's in Our Hands
Given the way that doctors are trained, women should not look to the medical schools for any immediate improvement. Although less-invasive gynecological procedures are being taught, residents have scant opportunities to refine their skills. "Ob-gyn has become complex. In addition to gynecology, residents must now train in many things, like perinatology and ultrasound," Levy says. Residents are expected to "understand" laparoscopic hysterectomy but not necessarily "be able to perform it independently," according to the list of requirements issued by ACOG's educational arm known as CREOG (Council on Resident Education in Obstetrics and Gynecology.)

TC TO EDWARD FITZGERALD; 15 June 1847; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18470615-TC-EF-01; CL 21:233-235.
Chelsea, 15 June, 1847
Thackeray told me, last night, you had gone to Norfolk,—"near Beccles" I remember, but nothing farther: so we must go by Woodbridge according to the old route.1
You have probably bethought you of Squire, the "rusty old gentn dug out of the 17th century";2 and are scheming out a visit to him. Alas, it is now more than half in vain! Read these two letters of his; read No 1,—fancy that I got, copied in Squire's indistinct way, and mostly without dates, some Ten or Twelve of the most curious Letters of Oliver I have even3 read (all about the Lincolnshire wars, about seizing of spies and "pistolling" them, buying of horses, helmets, "velvet gowns" for his wife &c &c); that I wrote instantly to Squire, in consequence, offering to pledge my life and fortune for these old Papers of his, if he would but lend them me for three weeks, and that I then received (along with some old fractions of muster-rolls, and without either the "List" or the "autographs" there mentioned having ever shewed face here) Squire's letter No2,—which you can now read, and weep! Did you ever hear of such a distracted old gentn? Did such a vexation ever befal in the search into English History before? He might have sold his Cromwell autographs in the market for probably £150: his Manuscript itself, had it been mine, I would not have seen burnt for £1000. What a pity: on Thursday last one might have copied; now on Tuesday all the Queen's forces cannot recover a line of it!— We must console ourself the best we may.4
I suppose it is now of little use, of comparatively little, that you shd call on Squire: yet I wish you would, if it is not very far out of your road; you might still perhaps contribute to save some fractions that may remain,—beg a copy of them all: the wretched man does not know what any scratch of a pen by that old hand may do for one in the utter darkness! Let him for God's sake destroy nothing more,—tho' his "resolution" is so terribly resolute, the strong-minded old gentn! Besides one would like to know what manner of man he is or can be; this itself would be a kind of mournful satisfaction. For the rest, unless he is absolutely insane, which I do not at all yet find, you will probably have no difficulty in getting to him. I have announced you, with due description and flourish of drums, twice over, and this morning I said you were near him, and would perhaps call.
If you can, now or afterwards, do anything in these Peterborough affairs, well: if not, let them go to the Devil; "pistol" them,—one gets nothing but sorrow and stupidity out of them! Dawson Turner5 has already shot, and hit nothing. Adieu
Yours always

Puerto Galera Resorts, Puerto Galera Island - Boracay Beach Resorts, Boracay Island
Provides general information and reservation services for white sand beaches cottages, diving beach resorts, apartments and resort hotels in Puerto Galera Island, Oriental Mindoro and Boracay Island, Aklan Province
Puerto Galera Island
Puerto Galera was discovered by the Spaniards in the early 16th century as a safe haven for their trade ships during storms and typhoons.
A visit to the local Museum with it's impressive collection of artifacts located near the church in Puerto Galera will verify the rich culture and history of this island.
Puerto Galera is Y-shaped peninsula located on the northern shores of Mindoro Island, some 130 km south of Manila and 14 nautical miles from Batangas City. It is bounded on the north by Verde Island Passage, on the south by the Municipality of San Teodoro (Oriental Mindoro), and on the west by the Municipality of Abra de Ilog (Occidental Mindoro). It has total area of 254.47 sqm., divided into twelve coastal barangays and one mountain barangay. Administratively, it belongs to the province of Oriental Mindoro.

Boracay Island
The code in Boracay is strictly informal.
There is an undeniable easy atmosphere in Boracay where walking barefoot than shod is the rule rather than the exception. White Beach is so, soooo fine, it feels like treading on miles of baby powder! No wonder, even swinging discos have the beach for a floor, giving dance a new twist. There are no hang-ups either in this island. At daytime, tourists having a soothing massage under the shade of a coconut tree beside the shoreline is a common sight. And from dusk to dawn, Boracay turns into one big party place where everyone is welcome to join in...But first, let's toast that sunset cocktail!
Diversions are certainly no problem in this tropical eden with leisure activities calendared throughout the year and amenities offered by some 350 tourist establishments.

Thanks, Jim, for making this blog entry. It is important stuff.

When I retired from corporate life two years ago, I decided to sign up as a School Crossing Guard, and I also hold by B-class (bus driver's) licence. As such, I get a pretty ugly perspective on drivers' habits out here in the Durham Region.

This past Friday, I witnessed a "soccer mom" with kids in her car drive clear through a stopped school bus, with signals flashing and students exiting the bus. Infractions in and around school zones are routine. People gabbing on cell phones while driving has become worse, not better, since penalties for doing so were increased. Stop signs are mistaken for being yield signs, more often than not. Speeding is a given. Earlier last week I stared down a Mitsubishi Gallant in the middle of the road, my Stop Sign waving and whistle blowing, who was simply not getting the message. Thank God she came to a stop one metre from my legs.

I (as well as all the other bus drivers and crossing guards out there) do what I (we) can, trying hard to keep the children, and myself (ourselves) safe, especially from distracted drivers and scofflaws. It can be frustrating to witness such ubiquitous irresponsibility, but there are a few glimmers of hope. Last May, a young driver ran through my stop sign while kids were crossing the road. To add insult to injury, he actually accelerated through my stop sign. I took down his plate number, description and description of the car. I reported him through Road Watch to Durham Region's Finest. Within a week, I saw him no more. Evidently he had either been grounded, or had found an alternate route to speed to school.

Please, everyone, just pay attention to the rules. But then, I am likely preaching to the converted.

Incidentally, the cream-coloured SUV in the picture is committing an infraction. Do you know what it is?

Cheers
 J

Especially since neither the SUV or bus have a front license plate.

By the way, watch out in B.C. because the Ontario exception of the divided highway doesn't apply. See here and here:
 http://www.bclaws.ca/EPLibraries/bclaws_new/document/ID/freeside/96318_05

I also like the idea the buses have on the prairies where there is a flashing light affixed to the roof that is always flashing.

Seems unbelievable that people still pass school buses...

Valentine's Day is everyday. Yes, I know we just finished celebrating the day on February 14th. However showing your love to the people you love and to your neighbors that live around you or live in a distant land is what Christ requires His true believers in Him to share not just on one special day of the year. For the Bible says, "God is love".
I'm a single gal whose beautiful friends, a couple at my church, invited me to share in their yearly tradition celebrating Valentine's Day by making heart shaped waffles and a table full of strawberries, maple syrup, whipped cream, and all other types of goodies including pink rice crispies. There were only women including the couples two daughters, who have been blessed to see love demonstrated by their parents. They are learning how to love each other and how to love others with the love that their parents so generously give and pour out to all they meet.
The host husband assured that his beautiful wife, daughters and guests had a beautiful decorated table of love; at least that's what I call it because so much effort was put in making the table and the event so beautiful. What a generous display of how much God really loves me. I lacked nothing on this special day when lovers usually meet. The real lover of my soul, Jesus Christ who died on the cross for me to save me from my sins and to give me eternal life did not miss what some may consider a very small matter. There is no matter of the heart I have learned that my Heavenly Father misses. So many times, my God, who is my Heavenly Father has given me my smallest desires - He really cares about me. I have to remember that on my "blue days". God Almighty really sees all, He knows all, He loves all so much that He gave His very best gift of love, His only begotten Son who is Jesus Christ The Lord. Jesus loved His Father and His creation so much, He willingly laid down His life, submitted to wicked men and obeyed His Father, God to die on a cross, taking the whole part of all our sins upon Himself. Indeed, "no greater love than a man has than this, but to lay down His life for His friends." Jesus said, "we are His friends if we keep His commands" (See John 15:13-14).
Oh, how great a love the Father has shown to us! How can I or you friend, deny so great a love from your Creator? Will you give your heart to the God who loves you more than anyone will ever love you? I pray you do. Jesus the Son of God wants to be your friend. I'm so glad my friends laid down their time for me on Valentines Day to give me a Valentine's Day celebration to remember. Love, God's everlasting love is.... The final answer.

Quad Cities River Bandits even up their wins and losses at five a piece by taking two of three games in their road matchup against Great Lakes Loons, who are also 5-5. Friday's matchup belonged to the River Bandits 6-4, while Saturday's game was moved to Sunday because of rain. On Sunday, April 13, the River Bandits took the first game, 11-0, but let the second game slip away in extra innings, 4-5.
Six River Bandit batters had more than one hit, as the team combined for 16 hits versus only nine hits for the Loons. Shortstop Jack Mayfield led the team with three hits and two runs, including his first home run and a double. Chan Moon and James Ramsay each contributed by smashing in their first triple of the season - back to back in the 6th inning.
River Bandits' starter Adrian Houser and relief pitcher Gonzalo Sanudo (2-0, 0.00 ERA) combined for seven strong innings. Both gave up two runs and struck out three Loon batters. Houser gave up a run in the 3rd inning, but after seven innings, the River Bandits were ahead 6-1. Chris Cotton struggled for an inning, giving up three runs off five hits, but Andrew Walter was able to close the door, earning his second save of the season.
The River Bandits got less hits on the Sunday double-header opener, but almost doubled their run production. This time, second baseman Moon led the team with three hits and two runs. The River Bandits were 10 for 16 with runnings in scoring position (RISP) for an average of .625.
The pitching duel of Andrew Thurman (1-1, 8.38 ERA) and Tyler Brunnemann handcuffed the Loons to only six hits and no runs or walks for all seven innings. Thurman had five strikeouts, while Brunnermann had two. For all five of his innings, Thurman had better command of the mound compared to his two previous appearances this season, which he combined for 10 runs off 11 hits during 4 2/3 innings of work.
The last game on Sunday was tighter then the previous two games. This game had three lead changes and two ties and was scheduled to be a 7-inning game, but both teams needed two more innings to determine the winner. Brett Phillips and Conrad Gregor both had two hits, while Phillips batted in three runs and Gregor batted in one. The bases were loaded in the 3rd inning when Phillips hit his first triple of the season, bringing them all in, which was the River Bandits only lead of the game, 3-1.
River Bandits' bullpen pitcher Patrick Christensen (0-1, 3.00 ERA) started the 9th inning, but was unable to retire the side. With the first batter gone, he walked the second batter, and then gave up two singles in a row, which allowed the winning run to score.
Tonight, the River Bandits had a rare "snow-out," but will combine that with the game on Tuesday, April 15, for a double-header against the West Michigan Whitecaps. It will be Community Appreciation Night with free admissions for everyone presented by Q106.5 and WOC radio stations, and Pepsi. The River Bandits lead the Midwest League in team batting with an average of .292, and hope to keep their bats hot. Go, River Bandits!

Associate Professor
1029 Tisch Hall
Office Location(s): 2705 Haven Hall
Phone: 734.647.4869
Professor Alberto's research explores the intersections of ideologies of race and nation in Latin America and their power to shape ideas and experiences of citizenship and national belonging across the region since independence, particularly in Brazil and Argentina. Her work is broadly concerned with the ways that competing definitions of race and nation, enunciated by political and intellectual elites as well as by people of color since the nineteenth century, produced different kinds of multi-racial societies and different ideas about the meanings of racial inclusiveness across Latin America.
Professor Alberto is the author of multiple articles on issues of racial activism and racial ideologies in modern Brazil and Argentina, and of Terms of Inclusion: Black Intellectuals in Twentieth-Century Brazil (UNC Press, 2011; winner of the 2013 Warren Dean Memorial Prize and co-winner of the 2012 Roberto Reis Award). Terms of Inclusion charts the changing terms through which self-defined black intellectuals in three major Brazilian cities negotiated the meanings of racial inclusiveness in their multi-racial nation, and the place of people of African descent within it, between 1920 and 1980. Alberto is also co-editor (with Eduardo Elena, University of Miami) of the forthcoming volume Rethinking Race in Modern Argentina: Shades of the Nation (under contract with Cambridge University Press), an interdisciplinary collection of essays that places twentieth- and twenty-first century Argentina in conversation with the literature on race and nation in Latin America more broadly. Her current book manuscript, "Racial Stories: Lives, Deaths, and Afterlives of Argentina's 'Negro Raúl' (1880-2010)" reconstructs both the biography and the legends surrounding Raúl Grigera, a popular Afro-Argentine street figure from the early twentieth century, to understand the role of collective storytelling in constructions of "whiteness" and "blackness" in modern Argentina and the power of these stories to shape individual fates.
Professor Alberto's teaching ranges from introductory surveys on the discipline of history or on modern Latin America to upper-level courses, taught in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, on a range of topics in Latin American history, culture and literature (Brazil's black press, Brazil's multi-ethnic popular culture, literatures of race and nation in Latin America, race and gender in Argentine historical fiction), as well as graduate courses on specialized topics (race and nation in Latin America, Afro-Latin-America, history and narrative).

George Raymond Scott
BANGOR - George Raymond Scott, 89, passed away peacefully Jan. 15, 2013, at a Bangor health care facility. He was born Feb. 22, 1923, in Indianapolis, to Walter J. and Rilla A. (Fleener) Scott.
George grew up in Irvington, on the east side of Indianapolis. There, he met the love of his life, Jerrie, to whom he was married for 65 years until her death in 2010. George was a 1940 graduate of Arsenal Technical High School. At Tech, he developed his love for mathematics and science. He was a graduate of the prestigious Army Specialized Training Program at the University of Oklahoma, and also attended Indiana and Purdue universities. George and Jerrie were married at Camp Howze, Gainesville, Texas, during
World War II
, prior to him going overseas. George served in the 109th Infantry Division, "Cactus Patch," fighting the 500 mile "Cactus Route" through France, Germany, Austria and Italy. He earned a
Purple Heart
for injuries sustained in France. George attended Cactus Patch reunions and remained active in their group until his death. For 32 years, George worked at Naval Avionics Center, Indianapolis, as an electronics scientist, primarily designing radar for naval aircraft. He became an avid computer programmer as the field developed, consulting in programming and software development after his retirement in 1983. After the war, George and Jerrie started their family. They had four children, Stephen L. and Carol, David B. and Teresa, Mary A., and Laura J. Scott and James Thomas. Others remaining are his brother, Kenneth W. Scott and Patsy; 12 grandchildren and three great-granddaughters. George and Jerrie lived in Indiana until 2008 when they chose to move to Maine where Laura could help with their care. They had vacationed in Maine years before and felt a connection to the state. Although they missed their family and friends in Indiana, they loved making friends at Sunbury Village and discovering new places. George kept a sign on the wall that summed up his feelings about where he spent the last years of his life: "Time spent in Maine is never wasted." George was a man with diverse interests, skills and talents. In addition to his passion for math, science, aviation and computing, he was a naturalist who enjoyed spelunking, fishing and exploring outdoors. He was the scoutmaster for Boy Scout Troop No. 44 in Indianapolis for six years, leading the scouts on many memorable adventures. As a Sunday school teacher for several years at Marion County Children's Guardian Home, he taught and mentored underprivileged children. George was an elder at Irvington Presbyterian Church and was active in the church until moving to Maine. A self-taught piano player, he enjoyed music, movies and was an avid reader. George loved traveling and driving - especially in his '65 Mustang convertible always opting to take the most interesting "shortcut." It's impossible to put into words all that George was and what he meant to those who love him. A man of infinite patience, great integrity and honesty, George was quiet and soft-spoken, methodical and analytical, witty and punny, romantic and emotional, as well as gentle and strong. Above all, he was a devoted husband, father and grampy who was always there for anyone who needed him. May he live on as the best in each of us.
A memorial service will be held April 27 at Irvington Presbyterian Church, Indianapolis. Entombment with his beloved at Washington Park East Cemetery will be afterward. Friends and family are invited to share condolences, stories and memories at
. The family thanks the staff of Maine Veterans Home and Beacon Hospice for their loving care during the past year.
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return."

Gail from My Repurposed Life had some slats leftover after upcycling a shutter into a magazine rack. Luckily, she held onto those bad boys because they were the perfect width to be turned into Ballard-inspired beverage tags.
Gail had enough slats to make four different sets of beverage tags. From chalkboard to stenciled to stained, Gail had some fun playing around with finishes. These are great for all you entertainers out there. And if, like Gail, you aren't one to part with a piece of wood, you could probably make them for free!
Check out all Gail's beverage tags and how she made them at My Repurposed Life.
