"In love with Magnus Bane" by Cassiel Lorna
Categories: Infernal Devices
Characters: Reader, You, Magnus Bane
Description: Magnus Bane is my favorite character in the mortal instrument and infernal devices. I hope there are writers out there who love him too, love him enough to write fanfiction about Magnus/Reader? Please? I would like a victorian Magnus Bane/Reader fic and the sparkling modern Magnus Bane/Reader fic as well. If you choose modern, it can take place years sometimes after his relationship with Alec Lightwood. The reader could be male or female, preferably female but I don't mind if you prefer male. I would be eternally grateful to anyone who write more Magnus/Reader fic.

Grant Abstract
Grant Number:
PI Name: David Dzewaltowski
Project Title: Youth Environments Promoting Nutrition and Activity
Abstract: DESCRIPTION (adapted from investigator's abstract): This study will test whether theory-driven youth + adult-based environmental change interventions can build and sustain targeted diet and activity behaviors among middle school youth. The study proposes to test the effects of school environment and curriculum interventions promoting fruit and vegetable (F&V) consumption, physical activity (PA), and their environmental determinants. The project involves goal-setting and efficacy building interventions designed to develop the skills and group efficacy of both adult school personnel and students. The adult-based interventions are designed to change the school environments through a school coalition assisted by a local coordinator; the youth interventions involve the participation of students in the processes of building the local health behavior environments, targeting both school lunch and after school activity environments. Eight schools will be randomly assigned to experimental and eight to control (no treatment) conditions. Measurement of F&V and PA behaviors will be conducted in the spring of 6th (baseline), 7th, 8th, and 9th grades, constituting primary outcomes, and will be assessed by self-report and verified by objective measures of school lunch purchases and physical activity monitoring. The impact of the program on hypothesized personal, environmental, and behavioral determinants of F&V and PA will also be measured. Process evaluation will monitor environmental change, program implementation, and system changes.

WASHINGTON (March 13, 2014) – Congresswoman Kaptur expressed her appreciation to Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel for his leadership during the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. Testifying before the House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee, Secretary Hagel addressed the situation in Ukraine prior to discussing the Defense Department's Fiscal Year 2015 budget with committee members.
Kaptur, co-chair of the Congressional Ukrainian Caucus, said Secretary Hagel has shown exemplary leadership during the Ukraine crisis. He noted that the Obama Administration has focused on de-escalating the crisis and supporting the new Ukrainian government while "reaffirming our commitments to our allies, NATO partners, in Europe."
He acknowledged the leadership of defense subcommittee members in passing a $1 billion package of loan guarantees to the new government in Ukraine.
"I know that many members of this committee, particularly Congresswoman Kaptur, have been instrumental in helping the United States stand with the Ukrainian people," said Hagel, a former Republican senator from Nebraska.
He said the United States has suspended all military-to-military engagements and exercises with Russia and augmented joint training with NATO partners.
He said the events in Ukraine "underscore the need for America's continued global engagement in leadership."

Feb. 23 vs. New Jersey Devils at Verizon Center
Time: 12 noon
TV: Comcast Sports Network, NHL Network
Radio: 106.7 The Fan and Caps Radio Network
New Jersey Devils (10-3-4)
Washington Capitals (5-10-1)
Washington concludes its season series with the New Jersey Devils on Saturday afternoon when the two teams play for the second time in three days at Verizon Center. New Jersey authored a 3-2 come-from-behind victory over the Capitals on Thursday night in the District.
Thursday's loss marked the third time in a span of just 11 games that Washington has lost a game in regulation in which it owned a lead after 40 minutes of play. Prior to the first of those instances, the Caps had gone nearly four years without losing in regulation when leading after two periods (94-0-9).
On many nights this season, Washington has done more to beat itself than its opponent has done. Thursday was one of those games.
Nursing a 2-1 lead in the third period on Thursday, the Caps took five minor penalties in a span of just 7:56. Ilya Kovalchuk's game-winner came on a 5-on-3 power play, and it was the fifth 5-on-3 goal the Caps have allowed in seven opportunities against this season.
Washington has surrendered the most 5-on-3 goals in the NHL this season. In their previous 164 regular season games over the past two seasons, the Caps allowed a total of six 5-on-3 power-play goals against.
"It's no secret why we're losing these games," says Caps right wing Troy Brouwer. "It's because we seem to take untimely penalties and they seem to capitalize on them. Lately, our [penalty-killing] has been good, it's just those games where we take an abundance of penalties and we get ourselves in a hole. You can't recover when you give them four minutes of 5-on-3 in a span of eight minutes."
Brouwer nailed it. The Caps are 5-1 this season when they do not allow any power-play goals. They're 4-2 when they are faced with three or fewer penalty-killing missions, and they're 1-8-1 when they have to kill four or more penalties in a game.
"You have tough nights," says Caps coach Adam Oates, "like [Thursday] night was a tough night. But that wasn't the culture, that wasn't the system. That was penalties. We made mistakes with our focus. So there's a difference.
"If we were making dumb plays because we were trying to fall into old habits, I'd address it. I don't think that's what it was. Focus, penalties. We deserved them. That's on us. We've got to change that. But in terms of how the team's playing, I still feel that since first time in New Jersey, we've had a chance to win every game."
The Caps killed off New Jersey's first 5-on-3 of the third period, but then allowed an even-strength goal less than half a minute later. That Alexei Loktionov goal capsulized three common Caps mistakes this season: losing defensive-zone face-offs, allowing shots to get through from the point, and permitting juicy rebounds. The result was a goal that took away the good momentum the Caps had built by killing off the lengthy two-man advantage.
"The killers did a great job of killing off that 5-on-3," says Brouwer, "an extended 5-on-3. Nicky [Backstrom] is blocking shots, [John Carlson] is blocking shots.
"We did what we needed to do. We got some momentum from it. We got a lot of excitement on the bench, and then a couple of seconds later they're able to score a 5-on-5 goal from a little missed coverage and the lack of a block of a shot. Just because the penalty kill is over doesn't mean we can let up defensively. We had the lead at the moment, and we needed to come out of that PK with more momentum and still with the lead."
In losing Thursday's game, the Caps missed a golden opportunity to draw two points closer to the top spot in the Southeast Division. Both Carolina and Tampa Bay lost in regulation on home ice. Had the Caps been able to get two points on Thursday, they'd be only four points from the division lead.
Instead, the Caps are still in the bottom spot of both the Eastern Conference and Southeast Division standings, and they've played a third of their lockout-shortened 48-game slate.
Seven of Washington's 10 regulation losses this season have come in games in which it has permitted either the game-winning goal or the final lead-changing goal on the opposition's power play.
"Ever since we played New Jersey in New Jersey at the beginning of the year," says Brouwer, "we feel we've been playing really good hockey. We've been in a lot of games, deserved to win a lot of them and have given away a lot of points.
"There are five [points] off the top of my head that I can count. If you have those five points, then you're in the playoff position, you're in the hunt for the division. Hopefully we can put some wins together here so those five points we don't look at at the end of the season and see as the difference in being in the playoffs or not."
Braden Holtby gets the start for Washington on Saturday against Johan Hedberg for New Jersey. Holtby will be starting his sixth straight game, a career high for the regular season. He is the first Caps goalie to start as many as six straight games since Michal Neuvirth got a half-dozen starts in succession from Feb. 24-March 6, 2012.
Tomas Vokoun had the Caps' longest run of consecutive starts in goal last season with 10 from Dec. 28, 2011 to Jan. 17, 2012.
Hedberg is 13-6-2 with three shutouts, a 2.31 GAA and a .917 save pct. in 23 career appearances (21 starts) against Washington.
With its win over Washington on Thursday, New Jersey vaulted into a tie with Montreal for the top spot in the Eastern Conference standings. The Devils had gone through a short period in which they had been somewhat flat, going 1-2-1 over a four-game span after starting the season on an 8-1-3 spree.

1 pound fresh asparagus (not too thin)
Good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 large slices prosciutto
1½ tablespoons unsalted butter
3 extra-large eggs
Easy Hollandaise Sauce (recipe follows)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
If the asparagus are thick, peel them halfway up the stalks. Cut off and discard the bottom third of the asparagus. Place the asparagus in a single layer on a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Roast for 10 minutes, until the stalks are just tender. Meanwhile, place the prosciutto in a single layer on another sheet pan and roast in the same oven for 5 minutes.
Melt the butter in a medium (10-inch) sauté pan over medium heat and wait until the bubbles almost subside. Crack the eggs into the skillet, keeping them separate, if possible. Sprinkle the eggs generously with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat until the whites are cooked but the yolks are still runny. Don't turn them over!
Arrange the asparagus on 3 plates. Place 2 slices of prosciutto on top of each pile, drizzle with hollandaise, and place a fried egg on top of the prosciutto. Serve hot.

Nolan Ryan wants you to be aware of wildfires
Posted on 11. Apr, 2012 by Brian Knox
We are right in the middle of Wildfire Awareness Week, and after last year's outbreak of wildfires, I think we are all a little more aware of the dangers they pose.
The Texas Forest Service sent me a press release last week that describes their effort to get the word out about the potential dangers of outdoor activities that can start a fire and ways to protect your home and property in case a wildfire breaks out in your area. To help drive home the point, they've apparently enlisted the help of my all-time favorite baseball player, Nolan Ryan, who filmed a public service announcement. It's pretty funny. Check it out here.
Here are some tips they provide on preventing wildfires:
Burning debris
· Obey all local burn bans and restrictions.
· Postpone burning when conditions are dry or windy.
· Establish wide control lines down to bare mineral soil.
· Never leave fire unattended.
· Keep water and hand tools nearby.
· Remove vegetation from the work area.
· Where vegetation cannot be removed, use a sprayer to wet down the work area prior to starting welding operations. Wet a wider area on the down-wind side from the welding location. If working in the same area for an extended period, re-wet the vegetation surrounding the work site.
· Keep water handy.
· Have someone with you to spot any fires that the sparks ignite so that they can be caught while small.
· Avoid parking vehicles in dry, tall grass.
Baling hay
· Check bearing frequently and stop use if they get too hot.
· Remove any loose hay trapped around rollers-the friction can build up and start a fire.
· Keep a fire extinguisher and field sprayer nearby in case a fire breaks out.
· Check local restrictions on campfires.
· Build and burn campfires in a metal box or fire pit only.
· Do not build a fire in dry, windy conditions.
· Make sure the campfire is at least 15 feet from surroundings and low hanging branches.
· Use an approved gas stove as an alternative for heating and cooking.
· If charcoal grills are permitted, use them only over fire proof surfaces such as asphalt or bare mineral soil.
Using fireworks
· Follow all county and city laws regarding fireworks use.
· Only use fireworks outdoors and away from dry grass and buildings.
· Read the labels and use only as directed, with adult supervision.
· Keep water, wet towels an d a garden hose nearby.
· Allow fireworks to cool completely before handling, and discard used fireworks into a bucket of water.
Using lawn equipment and motor vehicles
· Keep mufflers and spark arresters on lawn care equipment in proper working order and watch out for rocks and metal when mowing
· Dragging chains can start a grass fire along the road without your knowledge. A small piece of hot metal rips off the chain when it comes in contact with the pavement. When in contact with dry vegetation it can ignite a wildfire. Check to make sure your chains are secure and short enough not to drag.
And if you do start a wildfire, be prepared for the consequences. Local resident Cody Hilliard was indicted by a Wise County grand jury last December on four charges of arson of a building/habitation/vehicle reckless causing damage, a state jail felony. The indictment says Hilliard started the fire by using a burn barrel during a burn ban at the end of August last year. That fire burned more than 200 acres and destroyed several buildings and vehicles in the Paradise area.
On a somewhat related but less serious note, I need to thank our online readers, particularly our Facebook followers, for their headline suggestions regarding a wildfire last March that burned 265 acres on the LBJ National Grasslands (luckily, this one didn't destroy any homes). Once we learned that the fire was started from someone lighting their toilet paper on fire, we couldn't resist asking our readers for suggested headlines. We had a great response, and I ended up using a modified version of one of the suggestions for our headline: Wipe out: Burning toilet paper cause of 256-acre fire March 11.
That was one of three headlines I entered in the North and East Texas Press Association's Better Newspaper Contest, and the Wise County Messenger recently received first place in the competition among twice-weekly newspapers. So thank you, readers. This award is definitely shared with you.

Chapter 3-Section 3.3
3.3 Electrochemical
Response of Conducting Polymers
One unique feature of many
conjugated organic polymers like polypyrrole and polythiophene is their
ability to reversibly change their electrical properties. In their
reduced form, they are insulators. Upon oxidation, they are transformed
into an electrically conducting material. As seen in Figure 3.2, poly(3-hexyl
thiophene), a soluble conducting polymer which was spray coated on
a Au electrode can be electrochemically doped. Spray coating is used
for deposition because polymerization of the monomer species requires
potentials too high to be used with high-temperature superconductor
electrodes. A pre-formed polymer such as poly(3-hexyl thiophene),
can be chemically synthesized and subsequently can be spray coated
onto the electrode. Unlike the electropolymerization of polypyrrole,
the spray-coating technique does not place requirements on the electrical
properties of the substrate material for polymer deposition.
Figure 3.2:The electrochemical
response of a thick film (~1-10mm) of poly(3-hexyl thiophene) in a 0.1
M Bu4NBF4 / CH3CN solution on a
Au coated glass electrode at a scan rate of 50 mV/sec.
Figure 3.3: Cyclic
voltammetry shows the oxidation and reduction of a polypyrrole coated
YBa2Cu3O7-x thin film electrode placed
in a 0.1 M Et4NBF4 / CH3CN solution
at a scan rate of 5 mV/sec.
Figure 3.4:
Chronoamperometry showing the doping and undoping of polypyrrole on
a YBa2Cu3O7-x electrode in a 0.1 M
Et4NBF4 / CH3CN solution.
The availability
of this solution processing method expands the diversity in the type
of polymer films placed on superconductors.
When the polymer is oxidized, it becomes
positively charged and the conjugated backbone is delocalized. To compensate for the charge, a
tetrafluoroborate anion is inserted into the polymer matrix. The cyclic
voltammetry shows a clear oxidation and reduction of the poly(3-hexyl
thiophene) coated gold film in an electrolytic acetonitrile solution
of tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate. This behavior demonstrates
the reversibility and the redox process. It also shows that there is
clear electron transfer between the poly(3-hexyl thiophene) and the underlying
gold. If the surface of the gold had been coated with an insulating
layer, this electron transfer would not have taken place. Similarly,
if there had been an insulating barrier coating the surface of YBa2Cu3O7-x in
a polypyrrole coated YBa2Cu3O7-x electrode,
electron transfer at the interface would be hindered. As seen in Figure
3.3, when proper conditions are used, a reversible electrochemical response
from a polypyrrole coated YBa2Cu3O7-x thin
film electrode can be obtained. Chronoamperometry can also be used to
oxidize and reduce the conducting polymer as seen in Figure 3.4. The
data here provides additional evidence for the reversible charge flow
between the polymer and the cuprate conductor. While there were reports
of conducting polymers deposited on bulk high-temperature superconductors,
we were the first to report the electrochemical response of a conducting
polymer deposited onto a thin film as well as to explore the polymer's
charging characteristics on the underlying superconductor's properties
(vide infra).49

Sixth International Workshop on Adaptive Optics in Industry and Medicine
In mid June, 140 engineers and scientists from 25 countries converged on NUI Galway to participate in the Sixth International Workshop on Adaptive Optics in Industry and Medicine. This was the largest ever of these international biennial meetings held around the World.
At this year's workshop, for the first time, an industrial exhibit was staged, with 11 companies taking part, from mainland Europe, U.S., UK and Ireland. A highlight of the meeting was the disclosure, by a major Japanese company, that it uses adaptive optics in its DVD players, with over 1m units being shipped every month.
In addition to the financial sponsorship by 16 companies, and quality approval by The European Optical Society and The Optical Society of America, this workshop was supported by Enterprise Ireland, the IDA, Science Foundation Ireland and Fáilte Ireland. With over 90 scientific presentations, it was an outstanding success and reflected international recognition of the research carried out at NUI Galway in this area.
Further information on the workshop and on the potential applications of adaptive optics, contact Una Murphy or Chris Dainty.
LightFORUM runs outreach activities courses and events regularly during the year, focused on both market and technical issues. If there is a specific topic you would like to have addressed in the forum, please contact us.

Winterhawks bounce back, blank Oil Kings 3-0
WHL Championship Series is now tied 1-1 heading back to Edmonton
Saturday, 05.4.2013 / 10:30 PM MT / Cenovus Game Story
By Ryan Dittrick - edmontonoilers.com
|Photo by Bryan Heim/Portland Winterhawks
PORTLAND, Oregon - We've got a series on our hands here, folks.
Responding the way they needed to on home ice, the Portland Winterhawks blanked the Edmonton Oil Kings 3-0 in Game 2 of the WHL Championship Series Saturday night at the Rose Garden.
Ty Rattie, Brendan Leipsic and Oliver Bjorkstrand each scored, while goaltender Mac Carruth recorded a 16-save shutout -- his fifth of the post-season.
Laurent Brossoit made 33 saves in the losing effort.
"I thought right from the get-go, they took it to us," said Head Coach Derek Laxdal. "The penalties didn't help. We couldn't recover and that carried throughout the night.
"If you look at their passing, they were pretty sharp. We had a lot of passes that were off the mark and it's tough to pick them up when they're in your feet or are bouncing. Their Top 4 guys (Seth Jones and Tyler Wotherspoon, in particular) are great at defending and we didn't get enough pucks in deep on them. When you get pucks in deep, you can get some hits on them and force some turnovers.
"We didn't do that."
On the back of an 11-3 advantage in shots, Portland led 1-0 after one period of play.
The Oil Kings survived an early scare as penalties to Brandon Baddock (slashing) and Curtis Lazar (cross-checking) gave the home side a pair of power-play chances. Brossoit held the Winterhawks off the scoreboard until a third minor penalty proved costly.
With Oilers prospect Travis Ewanyk off serving a charging minor as he crunched Presten Kopeck with a blindside hit at the benches, the Winterhawks scored the all-important icebreaker.
Burning Oilers prospect David Musil wide, Nicolas Petan raced down the wing, cut to the net and put a weak shot on goal. Following up his own rebound and outmuscling Musil and Keegan Lowe in front, Petan backhanded a pass across to Ty Rattie, who easily deposited a shot past Brossoit at the lip of the crease.
"We have to be disciplined," said Laxdal. "If you sit in the penalty box all night, they're going to kill you. That's what happened and discipline was the message tonight."
"We got a little too amped up," added Stephane Legault. "It's hard to keep our lines rolling when we're killing penalties three or four times a period. We can play with them 5-on-5. We've shown that."
Musil and Keegan Lowe played the bulk of the period, largely on the penalty kill while guys like Cody Corbett, Ashton Sautner and Dysin Mayo were used sparingly.
Tired legs couldn't hide.
"It all goes back to penalties," said Laxdal. "Those guys have to kill penalties, they play at even strength and on the power-play. When you're in the box all night, those kids play too much and you can't roll your pairings. That's where we miss Griffin Reinhart because he logs a lot of ice time.
"It's an experience for guys like Dysin Mayo, Cody Corbett and Ashton Sautner to carry some extra minutes. They're the guys we have to go with to help out."
Just as they did in the opening 20 of Game 1 Friday night, the Winterhawks kept pressing.
Following a TV timeout that seemed to settle the troops, top draft-eligible prospect Seth Jones was sprung on a breakaway. Keeping the game within reach, Brossoit made another sensational save.
The Oil Kings recorded their second shot of the game with 3:32 left in the period, at which point the tide could have turned. Petan was assessed a tripping minor shortly thereafter, giving the visitors a chance to even up the score on the power-play.
Once again, it was more of a power outage. Poor entries and bad communication, lazy changes and a determined Winterhawks squad poured it on during the kill, nearly going up by two if it weren't for Brossoit.
The Oil Kings allowed two separate breakaways on the man-advantage, the second of which resulted in a slashing minor to Cody Corbett as he chased Brendan Leipsic.
Edmonton has now failed to score on 24 straight power-plays.
"Portland has the No. 1 penalty kill in the post-season and we were a little out of sync," said Laxdal. "Mike (St. Croix) had a couple chances to score and we didn't bury. We had several opportunities to bury throughout the game and we didn't."
In a second period dominated by penalties early on, the Winterhawks scored a couple late ones to a 3-0 lead after 40 minutes.
First, Leipsic capitalized on a neutral zone turnover, raced in and beamed a wrist shot past Brossoit at 17:20. Just 85 seconds later, the Winterhawks put the game out of reach. On an odd-man rush that saw Lowe and Musil back in below the hash marks, Bjorkstrand swooped into the slot and launched a shot up and over Brossoit's left shoulder on Portland's 22nd shot.
"We had nothing to lose (in the third period)," said Michael St. Croix, who was held off the scoresheet for a second straight night after tearing it up in the Eastern Conference Final vs. Calgary. "We wanted to have a good pushback -- unfortunately they closed the door. In the dressing room, we kept saying, 'We have to keep pushing forward here.' It didn't work out."
The Winterhawks surpassed the 30-shot barrier nine minutes into the third period. Setting up in the slot, Rattie unleashed a wicked wrist shot that was labeled for the corner, but Brossoit came up with an incredible around-the-world glove save to keep the game in a 3-0 score.
But it was a lonesome effort.
The Oil Kings recorded only two shots on goal in the third period.
"It's 1-1 and we're going back to Edmonton. We'll go from there," said Laxdal.
Game 3 goes Tuesday night at 7:00p.m. at Rexall Place.

Industry Round Up: More UMG and Sony Changes Emerge, Bands in the Mix & more…
With much of the industry attention recently on the new ownership of Warner Music Group and the upcoming auction of EMI by Citigroup, the other two major label groups are back in focus in coming weeks with what will be a series of changes coming to fruition under the new leadership at Universal Music Group and Sony Music. The move for L.A. Reid to Sony that was highly rumored after his departure from Island Def Jam, is becoming all but official with multiple reports that he will run a restructured Epic label group that will now include Jive. The move will also see Reid once again working under Doug Morris, who comes in as new Sony boss on July 1st. Observers are wondering who else will take up new roles under Morris, including who will oversee RCA, after former label boss Barry Weiss took Reid's place atop the IDJ and Motown/Republic labels earlier this year. Did someone say musical chairs? Expect more new executive announcements at both Sony and UMG over the coming weeks including returning A&R veterans, along with additional new labels being launched under each umbrella… Already signed to the new Epic Records is YouTube "sensation" Karmin, who have racked up millions of views for their cover song videos… Elsewhere, another girl-guy duo garnering industry attention is San Diego act Little Hurricane, whose live shows and recent support from 91X have both labels and managers in pursuit… Others names on lips and in the mix include Childish Gambino, Band of Skulls, Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Electric Guest and Capitol Cities… Meanwhile, Ben Lee and Butch Walker join the Dangerbird Records roster and Barsuk Records has signed New York City's Yellow Ostrich.
Blacktops and Truck Stops; The Uprising Creative Take It On The Road
Los Angeles-based creative design and marketing company The Uprising Creative has announced Blacktops and Truck Stops, a cross-country tour that has the firm – whose client roster includes Activision, Beck, Beastie Boys, Coachella, Dangerbird Records, Foo Fighters, Jay-Z, LCD Soundsystem, Ryan Adams and many more – hitting the road with an RV outfitted as a mobile design studio for two weeks in October… Their mission is to get inspired by Americana and share their passion for art and design with everyone they meet along the way; from music events, art galleries, designers and clients, to gas stations, RV parks and roadside coffee shops. In addition to meeting with other designers along the way and visiting many of America's majestic and eccentric places, The Uprising will also be making stops at art schools, at-risk youth centers and local charities. They will be covering ground in the South and Southwest, making stops in Austin, Birmingham, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Memphis, Nashville, New Orleans, Phoenix, Reno, Sacramento, San Francisco, Tucson and many other small towns and cities along the way… One of the first major stops on the trip will be in Austin for the Austin City Limits Music Festival and the official aftershow with Sonic Youth at La Zona Rosa on October 9th, presented by Nixon Watches. The whole trip takes place from October 5th – 19th, and will also be filmed for a documentary in the works for 2011. You can get more info HERE.
Fitz & the Tantrums: New Album, Video & Amoeba In-Store Tonight
The debut full-length album from L.A.'s own Fitz and the Tantrums Pickin' Up The Pieces is out today via Dangerbird Records, and to celebrate the band will be doing an in-store performance at Amoeba Records in Hollywood tonight at 7:00pm. They also have a new video for their song "MoneyGrabber" – check it out…
Indie Dispatches: New Superchunk, A Toast to Best Coast & Fitz on Fire
Lost in the warm fuzzy glow over the Arcade Fire topping the charts last week, one rather important item was neglected, which is that amidst all of their efforts to create the landmark 2010 Merge is having, the label owners Mac McCaughan and Laura Ballance also found time to record a new album. Yes ladies and gentlemen, reason to rejoice, as there is a new Superchunk album on the way! It's entitled Majesty Shredding and is due for release on September 14 – on Merge Records of course! A number one record and a new Superchunk album – now that really IS a banner year.
Speaking of landmark years, the same can be said for Best Coast who surprised more than a few people with their #36 debut (with one industry rag leaving them out of their charts altogether!) for the album Crazy for You. But kudos to the Mexican Summer label for a superb job of artist development, and it just goes to show that in amongst all the clutter of the 'long tail' music biz in 2010, the same formula of great songs, a good build up and a masterful job of marketing can achieve results! Alas, not so fortunate were WAVVES, whose latest album King of the Beach only trickled to a #168 chart position first week, despite some great reviews and a ubiquitous presence amongst the blogs.
Also benefitting from a nice job of development and marketing is Los Angeles act, Fitz and the Tantrums, who are riding a great word-of-mouth wave leading to the August 24 release of their album Pickin' Up the Pieces on Dangerbird Records. After a glowing review in the LA Times, a "you had to be there" jam-packed performance at the Hammer Museum, an exclusive streaming preview of the album on KCRW, and an instore performance at Amoeba Records in LA scheduled for release day, the buzz is becoming rather deafening. Which makes it hard to believe it was barely a year ago that the retro-soul combo was playing to a small scattering of early adopters at the 3 of Clubs…

Indie Dispatches: Many Questions, Few Answers… A Look at Growing Indie Label Rosters
Last week Dangerbird Records announced another new signing, adding Milwaukee's Maritime (featuring ex-members of The Promise Ring) to their growing roster. This follows the L.A. label's recent inking of locals Fitz and the Tantrums in late April, and a slew of other high profile acts (Minus the Bear, Delphic, Hot Hot Heat) earlier this year. Sub Pop has also been on a signing spree of late, inking deals with Jaill, Coco Rosie, Papercuts and others so far in 2010. Looking at the Seattle label's upcoming line-up of releases, it numbers at least two or three (often high profile) album releases per month; June alone has forthcoming records from Blitzen Trapper, Foals and Wolf Parade. This begs the question for some, if an independent label has an overflowing release slate, can they still guarantee the attention to detail that is expected?
Traditionally one of the main upsides to signing with an independent label is that they are able to dedicate the time and manpower to individual projects, concentrating on marketing an artist in the long term; a strategy opposite of the storied one and done scenario that is all too familiar on major labels. So is there such a thing as too many artists for an indie label?
Over at the Beggars Group – which is now comprised of 4AD, XL, Matador, True Panther, Rough Trade and more – the volume of releases is even more pronounced, releasing at times five albums per month. Their forthcoming schedule shows new records from The National, New Pornographers, Holy Fuck, Ariel Pink, Ratatat, Karen Elson and more… Is it despite, or because of this non-stop stream of releases that business at the Beggars Group is solid? According to Beggars head Martin Mills in a piece this week in The Register, the indie label group invests in 20 new acts a year, sees digital revenues around 50% of total and they're moving albums, not just tracks. It seems their recipe includes serving many niches, not just a few or one, as past indie labels have… For now many are surely watching to see if recent independent records like Minus the Bear's Omni and the Titus Andronicus Civil War opus The Monitor will meet their hefty sales potential. Only time will tell…

Tuesday Bits & Pieces
Following up on last week's A&R report, congrats to Fitz and the Tantrums who have inked a deal with L.A.-based Dangerbird Records. The band heads out on tour with Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings in May and has an eastside residency at Spaceland in June… Sweethead, the new project from Queens of the Stone Age guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen, will be playing Monday nights in May at Spaceland. Their new self-titled album comes out May 11th via The End Records… Expect to see plenty of label and publishing folks out tonight for Burn Down the Mission at Hotel Cafe. We hear the band has been busy fielding more calls to showcase for labels on both coasts… Stay tuned.
Our post-Coachella-Monday hangover A&R Report?
As quickly as it came, the annual rock n' roll oasis in the desert known as Coachella is over. So while you tend to that lingering sunburn and exercise the last of those acid-demons, let's play catch-up on some new signings and stories we've been following… Los Angeles indie-label Dangerbird Records, who has been on a recent signing-spree stocking their coffers with a wide spectrum of artists, has put paper to Fitz & the Tantrums and we hear negotiations are in motion. FATT opened for The Specials last week at Club Nokia and will be joining Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings on tour in May… We hear Epic Records is finalizing a deal with Denver's Joel Jorgenson. The singer is managed by Michael Goldberg and Isaac Hayes for 108 Management (we've also confirmed that 108 does not stand for their combined IQs)… Momentum continues to build for Las Vegas-act Imagine Dragons, who played to a sold-out room last Wednesday for the BMI/KROQ-presented show at The Viper Room. Having only played a handful of L.A. dates, it was impressive to see industry take a literal back seat to a sweaty crowd of fans singing along to the band's late-night set. With a growing regional fan base and an impressive live show, labels seem to be closing in – we hear an East Coast major is looking to shut it down early, while publishers and booking agents have joined the scrimmage too… Radio continues to build for L.A. locals Dead Country with adds at Santa Barbara's KJEE and KROX in Austin, as well as spikes at Live 105, KNRK in Portland and Denver's modern rock KTCL; spins are also continuing in their hometown on KROQ. Could there be outside forces at work here? The band just finished a tour with The Bronx and will be supporting Far on a series of upcoming dates. Their self-titled EP is out now… And if you slept on the radio action on South Carolina's Villanova, it looks like the band is now off the market. We hear an East Coast major is finalizing paperwork to close the act who are getting serious spins on influential modern rock station WARQ… Look for Steve Greenberg's S-Curve Records to release new albums from Seinking Ships and The Belles on June 8th. Eric Matthews, formerly on Sub Pop, collaborated with Ohio musician Christopher Seink to record the new full-length Museum Quality Capture, while Lawrence, KS combo The Belles will release their sophomore album Times Flies When You're Losing Your Mind… It certainly does… Finally, catch Minneapolis' Sick of Sarah tomorrow night in L.A. for the early show at The Roxy. The band, who has been compared to Sleater-Kinney and The Breeders, is building a big following in the mid-west and is one of two artists featured during the month of April in Journeys stores nation-wide…

Indie Dispatches: L.A. gets Waved Out & Dangerbird's Signing Spree
The balmy Los Angeles weather had a whole stack of music fans and industry folk checking out bands on the rise, eating bacon-wrapped hot dogs and generally hanging out in historic Echo Park for the recent inaugural Waved Out Festival at the Echo/Echoplex. Kudos to the folks at Spaceland, who with help from Aquarium Drunkard put on the eastside event that was full of good vibes and from what we're told is the first of what will be a series of similar affairs coming in 2010. Think of a mini-version of NY's Siren Festival. The 'one admission' ticket across the two venues encouraged people to check out acts that they otherwise might have not investigated. This included local up-and-comers Gamblehouse and Atlanta's The Coathangers, who came out with classic Pacific Northwest 90′s Riot grrrl rock swagger. The surprise of the day was San Francisco's psychedelic Moon Duo – the two-piece is buzzing after some Pitchfork love for their recent SXSW shows. The all-day event was topped off with sets from Best Coast, the nom de plume of L.A. local Bethany Cosentino who has over 20k digital downloads and more than a couple premier indie labels in pursuit, followed by one of this year's most-talked about acts at SXSW, Surfer Blood. The latter played to a packed room, including a heavy contingent of top brass from Warner Bros. Records. Their release Astrocoast has sold over 20k on Kanine Records, and many are wondering if they will be the next act from the indie to be launched onto a major label following Chairlift's promotion to Columbia Records…
More from the indie label front as Dangerbird Records continues their signing spree. After recently announcing the addition of both Minus the Bear and Hot Hot Heat to their expanding roster, this week they added more international flavor by signing Manchester's Delphic. The combo's new album Acolyte debuted in the UK top 10 earlier this year and will see a June release in the states.

DAGUPAN CITY – The Waste Management Division (WMD) here has further intensified its campaign against solid waste disposal by further strengthening its information education drive in the barangays on the salient provisions of Republic Act No. 9003, otherwise known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act.
This is in line with Mayor Belen T. Fernandez'es drive to ensure that the city remains clean and free from harmful levels of pollutants that may cause illnesses.
Fernandez, upon her assumption to office, has engaged City Planning and Development Officer (CPDO) Engineer Romeo C. Rosario and OIC WMD Head Ronaldo De Guzman to create community organizers who will conduct lectures and re-educate the public on the concept of RA 9003 and existing city ordinances on solid waste disposal.
The program seeks to increase the level of awareness of the community on existing laws and ordinances to attain a high level of cooperation and active community support, to minimize or reduce waste at source and to instill the value of cleanliness and ensure the safety of every individual.
The program also includes giving lectures in all public and private schools here which will teach students about mandatory segregation at source, which is one way to minimize and reduce the waste generated at source.
"This will reduce and control the city's waste diversion in the city's disposal facility," said De Guzman.
 At present, the WMD continues to maintain a round-the-clock street sweeping operation at the central business district and collects the waste of 31 barangays for disposal at the controlled dumpsite in Bonuan.
It is the dream of Fernandez to finally close the controlled dumpsite.
In her first 100 days report, Fernandez said that negotiations are on the way with Procter and Gamble to locate a fully integrated waste conversion plant which can be functional not later than two years from the start of construction. (CIO/11-07-2013) By Joseph C. Bacani

Not long ago I did a post about Houdini's famous clash with boxing champion Jess Willard at the Los Angeles Orpheum in 1915. Now our friend Dean Carnegie of Carnegie: Magic Detective has uncovered this terrific advert that takes full advantage of the incident. I don't know.

Canucks Report - Jaffray on waivers
Friday, 01.9.2009 / 1:21 PM PT / Features
Vancouver Canucks
Injury report
Current lineup
Tale of the tape
Practice gallery
An all-star
The Canucks have placed left winger Jason Jaffray on waivers this morning, hoping to return him to the Manitoba Moose. Jaffray signed with Vancouver on July 17, 2007 and has since played in 33 games with the team over two seasons.
"We put him on waivers this morning," said head coach Alain Vigneault. "He had needed waivers the first time, cleared, and since we played him in 10 games he needed waivers again, so he was put on waivers this morning and we'll see what happens."
The Rimbey, Alberta native has played 14 games with the Canucks this season, tallying four points (2-2-4) and 14 penalty minutes. Jaffray remains fourth in team scoring for the Manitoba Moose with 17 points (12-5-17), in only 17 games.
"He's played well, he's done everything that we expect, that I expect from him," said Vigneault of the gritty forward yesterday after practice. "I know Jaff from back [in Manitoba], he's dependable at both of the ends of the ice, he plays with an edge, he can help out on the power play, so he's played well for us. With Ryan [Johnson] coming back we have some decisions to make with our personnel."
Jannik Hansen.
Both Johnson and Hansen will play in tonight's game against the St. Louis Blues. Johnson, who played for St. Louis for five seasons before signing with Vancouver, will make his return to the game after missing 20 games and continues to deal with his fractured finger that hasn't healed as hoped.
"We're back to square one with [the injured finger], but it gets to the point where I know I can play," said Johnson. "There's some pain there but I've dealt with it before, we'll deal with it now. I'm just trying not to think about it and move on."
Hansen who played two games with the Moose after being sent down looks to make the most of his opportunity to prove he deserves a spot.
"Of course I was a little bit surprised to be sent down, but then again I hadn't been producing as of lately and if you want to be here you have to be at your best," said Hansen. "And I hadn't, so obviously I knew there was a possibility. And when they sent me down it was just a matter of working on my game and getting back to where I feel I should be."
Mats Sundin will make his home debut tonight as the Canucks face off against the Blues. The powerful Swede played his first game with Vancouver at Rexall Place in Edmonton on Wednesday night and looks forward to playing in front of a home crowd.
"Anytime in this league you can get an advantage on the other team, usually home ice helps," said Sundin. "So, it's going to be great to play at home and in front of home fans for sure.
"So far coming to Vancouver has been great. The players and organization have really taken care of me, and the fans. So it's going to be nice to start playing some games on home ice, it's going to be great."
The former number one overall draft pick of the Quebec Nordiques in 1989 is expected to line up alongside Mason Raymond and Kyle Wellwood for five-on-five action and the Sedins on the power play. The following are the offensive lines and defensive pairs that Vigneault will likely ice tonight:
Raymond - Sundin - Wellwood
Burrows - Kesler - Bernier
Hordichuk - Johnson - Hansen
Ohlund - Nycholat
Mitchell - Bieksa
Edler - O'Brien
The Canucks look to create a winning streak after a decisive 4-2 victory over the Oilers. The Blues have not played since Saturday, when they defeated Columbus 5-2. The last time Vancouver and St. Louis met on March 8, 2008, the Canucks walked away with a 4-2 win.
Goaltender Jason LaBarbera has earned a 2-0-2 record, 1.93 goals against average, and .938 save percentage, since joining the Canucks last week and will start in net against the Blues.
"They have a younger team, they're missing some guys right now, but they've got some young guys who can skate and put the puck in the net," said LaBarbera. "So it's definitely a game we have to play hard [to win]."
The Canucks held an optional game day skate today that was well attended. Injured players Roberto Luongo and Sami Salo participated and both stayed for the duration of the practice. Luongo is expected to partake in his first full team practice Monday and start facing odd-man rushes and other game-like situations.
OTHER NEWS: Mason Raymond has been selected to play in the NHL YoungStars Game of three-on-three hockey, presented by Upper Deck, Saturday, Jan. 24 at Montreal's Bell Centre. The 23 year old winger, part of the talented sophmore roster, has 19 points (9-10-19) in 42 games with the Canucks so far this season.

Workers frantically piled sandbags and stones and tried to repair leaking levees as surging water threatened two more cities in the southern province of Sindh yesterday.
Rising water levels were last night threatening one of Pakistan's largest dams, forcing the authorities to evacuate more people even as raging floods surged south into the country's heartland, destroying communities and ruining livelihoods. Officials in the country's north-west said unprecedented flooding had caused the water level at Warsak Dam near Peshawar to soar, already prompting the voluntary evacuation of some of the city's residents and forcing the authorities to draw up plans to move those who sought to stay. "If needed, forced evacuation will be started," said Adnan Khan of the Disaster Management Authority of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Even while waters recede in some parts of the north-west, it is far from clear that the country's misery is over. Aid agencies estimate more than 3.2m people have now been affected by the nation's most severe floods in recent history and the water that has caused such chaos is now reportedly moving south, sweeping into Punjab province.
Two suicide bombers – at least one on a motorbike – killed over a hundred people in north-west Pakistan where tribal elders had gathered to meet political representatives of the government. Officials said at least 102 people were killed and 80 more were wounded.

Hanford Nuclear Reservation

NW could keep nuclear waste for 100 years under recommendation
The Northwest could end up keeping Hanford's nuclear waste for 100 years or more under a recommendation issued Friday by a presidential commission. President Obama appointed the Blue Ribbon Commission to look into the question of where to store the nation's worst nuclear waste.
The new report says one option may be to store the waste at regional centers for more than 100 years while the country looks for a suitable permanent repository. That concerns Susan Leckband, who chairs a board that advises managers at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation.
"We're not so sure that 100 years wouldn't end up being permanent. I'm disappointed that 100 years is on the table, because anybody that's made that decision now, won't be responsible for what's left in 100 years."
The hunt for a national nuclear waste repository began after the Obama Administration torpedoed the Yucca Mountain site that was under construction in Nevada. That was slated to be the future home of Hanford's 56-million gallons of radioactive waste.

It is increasingly common to find that agencies and community service providers are being urged to implement evidence-based intervention and treatment practices for children and families. The benefit of providing such services is that, if properly implemented, they may be more likely to result in positive outcomes for children and families. A range of criteria has been established by multiple and sometimes conflicting authorities regarding the basis for evaluating support for particular practices.
There are numerous issues, which are gradually being addressed, surrounding the identification of appropriate evidence-based practices and the fidelity of these practices. It will be critical for the Center to monitor these developments.
Although evidence-based practices are gaining momentum, there have been few efforts to systematically assemble and assess what is involved in bringing such practices to scale in large child protective service agencies. What is more, assuming that the implementation of evidence-based practices is desirable, few efforts have been directed specifically at addressing what configurations of services might meet the needs of typical child welfare populations.
There has also been significant development of evidence-based practices that might address the needs of certain components of the child welfare population, but it is by no means clear that recognized evidence-based practices exist for the bulk of children and families in the child protective service population.
The Child Protection Research Center will focus on assembling research on the scale-up issue, assessing the gaps in evidence-based practices for child protective service populations, conducting cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit simulation analysis with the assistance of state and local agencies, and eventually supporting implementation studies of scale-up in state and local agencies.
The Center has taken some initial steps toward these goals:

– "is a world leader in multiple best-nation categories. But is it a role model for technoprogressives"?
A role model for CIVILIZATION alright, – in my opinion, – and also doing remarkably well technologically, – (not implying here that high-tech is un-civilized, as my wife might have suggested.. : ), – but the question-mark refers to the role of Denmark's Egalitarianism: Is Equality a prerequisite for techno-progressiveness.. ?

Schöne Wohnung, die Lage war sehr gut. Man hatte in der Wohnung alles was man braucht. Der Gastgeber war sehr freundlich, wir konnten schon früher einchecken! Gerne wieder!
Miss Carrie is good and very friendly. But not giving discount as promised because the reason is we arrive after 10pm but we already informed her before this. The apartment overall is ok but kitchen is too small.
The first thing that needs to be said is that accommodation in Hong Kong, either for residents or visitors is cramped and expensive. This needs to be said, because it places most of this review in context. What is adequate by Western standards, is almost unachievable to most Hong Kongers. You aren't going to get a massive apartment in the middle of the city without paying a fortune for it.
Hong Kongers also have a far different lifestyle to, say, Australians or middle-America. They don't cook at home all that much (why would you when eating out is so cheap and the food excellent). The majority do not own a car, but walk everywhere (or take public transport). This also affects their accommodation situation, as it tends to dictate what's in the house (or maybe the house tends to dictate the lifestyle, I don't know). Again, context.
Final piece of context – Hong Kongers aren't as tall as the average Westerner (which allows them to make good use of their limited space.
The apartments at Ko Shan Road (on the border of To Kwa Wan and Hung Hom) are cheap n cheerful. They are very small, but as stated above, 'normal' for Hong Kong standards. It was a little cramped for us as a family, but that was expected. My only negative comment on that account would be that the photos do give the appearance that the room is larger than it actually is. It's tiny. 2 bedrooms and about 2 feet of floor space on one side of the best. Cupboard space is excellent.
The beds are hard. In two trips to HK, I've found that this appears to be the norm. I didn't mind it as the bed didn't give me back pain. However, the bed is, by Western heights, narrow and short. I'm under 6 foot and my feet just hung over the edge. You also have one wall that the bed is up against on the side, which is a little difficult if two larger people are sharing it. However, it was adequate.
A great touch is the washing machine, which does save in laundry costs and convenience.
There is also a large amount of construction work next door which is extremely noisy. I'm pretty thick skinned when it comes to noise (having kids does that) and a heavy sleeper, but it was pretty loud.
What you lose in accommodation size, you make up in cheap food. Hong Kong is great if all you want to do is eat. Lots of good local food and at worst, the HKD$14 microwave meals from 7-Eleven are convenient and cheap. There's also a food place about 3 doors up from 7-Eleven (with a Tomato on the outside wall) which does great food. Not cheap (but still affordable) by HK standards, but great for us.
If you want to eat at the same 4 or 5 local places and drink 7-Eleven beer, the location is fairly good. However, to get to any real food places, you do need to head down to Hung Hom proper (see openrice.com.hk), which is a fair walk or a cheap (HKD$20) taxi fare away. There are some great openrice award winners down there and the food is fantastic and cheap. The only exception to the Hung Hom rule is Sung Kit Street, which is about 4 blocks away and great for some food, but the Japanese down there can be hit and miss (thought the Japanese themed street is a nice touch).
If I had my decision again and decided on wimdu, I'd probably have gone somewhere on HKI for the same price and more convenience. Last time we were in HK, we went to (pre-renovation) Olympic Terraces suites in Sham Shui Po and got a room for 13 days for the same price as 19 days. We also had it serviced daily and new water put in. If I had this option, I might have gone with it again and fronted the few dollars extra.
Carrie is lovely (Anthony's collegue, we didn't meet Anthony). She appears to manage a portfolio of these properties on his behalf. The gentlemen that manage the building down on level 1 are also lovely and say hi.
All in all – it's a cheap place to sleep and collect your thoughts. It's close enough by taxi (which is dead cheap) to most suburbs in Kowloon (TST, Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei/Jordan for the Night Markets, Hung Hom for food). The train is a hike (best to take the taxi), but buses are close, out on Chatham Road. This isn't a negative review, but a realistic one.
My family (three of us) stayed at Anthony's apartment from June 25 – July 17, 2013. Anthony is friendly and nice guy. I asked him a lot of questions before I made a decision. His response was quick. I hardly got meet him one time during our stay. We deal with his housekeeper who is Carrie most of the time. Whatever we got an issue, Anthony and Carrie took a quick action to fix the issue. Like WiFi did not work on the first day. Next day Anthony fixed the WiFi issue. Anthony was kind enough to buy a big bag of potato chips for us and left some of Japanese snacks which were really old.
The apartment was nice and tidy. It is smaller than it was listed on the website. Three of us were okay for this small apartment since this is typical apartment in Hong Kong. It was so dusty on the floor and the cabinet. It appears that it has not been cleaned for a while. Also the standing shower did not drain properly in the bathroom. Every time we took a shower, it was like flooding. It took a while to drain out the water (we can manage this since we did not spend a lot of time in the bathroom). The bathroom obviously needs to have some maintenance. The apartment has our basic need such as wok, pot, utensil and electric kettle so we cooked a simple meal. Anthony even bought us a brand new wok when we told him that one of the pots was burn. We took the bus wherever we go since there is no MTR station in Hung Hom area, but the neighborhood has everything that you need such as convenient store (Seven Eleven & Circle K), supermarket, and restaurants. We walked to the bus stop and the market to get fresh fruit. The location wise would have been better if there were MTR station around the neighborhood. We have to wait a few more years to have MTR station get around in Hung Hom area…
The apartment was clean and tidy, smaller then what I expected but perfect for the 2 of us. Anthony was very friendly and helpful. Location wise it was nice and quiet. We got taxis into tsim sha Tsui most of the time as it was cheap and handy. The nearest mtr is about a 15 min walk away. I would recommend a stay in this apartment.
Stayed here with my parents. Really enjoyed the stay. The apartment was clean and neat. Very convenient by bus to get basically anywhere in Hong Kong. I would recommend it to anyone who wanted to go to Hong Kong for holiday.

"I've seen poverty," says Kerry Omughelli '13, "and I've seen a lot of good things, too."
As a native of Lagos, Nigeria, who spent time growing up in England, Kerry is all too aware of the disparities between countries. As a matter of fact, those disparities inspired him to become what he is today.
"One thing that always hit me was electricity," he recalls. "In England, it was constant. In Nigeria, it was never really there. So I said, 'I'll do electrical engineering.' I want to focus in power, then energy, because Nigeria has a lot of oil but no refineries, no means to actually use it. I want to make a difference—both as an engineer and a leader—in the lives of people in general, in the lives of African Americans living in this country, and in the lives of Africans in the world."
Plan A was to study electrical engineering in England. Thanks to a friend who enrolled at Texas A&M University a semester before him, Kerry changed his mind, applying to both Texas A&M "and that other school" in Austin. Not without reservations, however.
"I didn't know much about Texas," he admits with a grin. "All I knew was cowboys and horses, and I didn't think that would sit very well with me. Then, my first day on campus, the first five people I met were, like, 'Howdy! Howdy!' And I realized it was very friendly here. So now I love Texas!"
Aggie friendliness notwithstanding, Kerry's freshman year was a challenge.
"I adjust very quickly," he says. "Because I grew up in two different places, I'm adaptable and open to different cultures. But it was difficult here, because I didn't get to see my mom, dad, and three sisters." Something as simple as a phone call home can be tricky, what with widely divergent time zones. Then there was the educational system itself. "That was different for me, because it wasn't 'wait until we get to the end to see how much you know.' We were tested as we went along. I was a high achiever in high school—made the 4.0s—so I thought it would be a natural transition, but it wasn't."
Kerry credits his ability to adapt and succeed to a couple things. One, he lived on campus. He spent his freshman year in the engineering hall, Mosher, where he was able to meet other engineering students, Aggies who knew the value of helping one another out. His sophomore and junior years, he served as an RA in Aston.
"The halls on campus really integrate you, because you get to meet people very quickly. It's like a family, "he explains. ""Living on campus is how I got into the traditions, how I got involved.
One of the places he got involved was the Southwestern Black Student Leadership Conference (SBSLC). SBSLC not only helped him adapt and succeed, he says, it pretty much changed his life.
It all started with a walk through the Commons, a table, and a challenge.
"I passed their table, and they told me I should attend the conference. 'I'm a leader,' I thought, 'I've been doing a lot of stuff. I don't need to attend this conference.'" Kerry smiles as he remembers. "They said, 'You think so? How about becoming one of our associate staff, and we'll see what you're made of?'"
He took them up on it. And was blown away. So much so, that he decided against the usual transition from associate to executive staff, choosing instead to serve on associate staff one more year. This year, Kerry is Chair of the SBSLC and one of its biggest boosters.
"SBSLC basically helps you become a professional," he says, "a student leader. It teaches you how to speak, how to talk to people, how to dress. Helps you discover yourself. People who graduated high school, what, two years ago? They're handling contracts worth thousands of dollars. That's what SBSLC does for you."
With all he's accomplished academically and as a student leader, you may be surprised to hear that Kerry Omughelli will be just 21 years old when he graduates next December. (He graduated high school at age 16.) Here's what he has to say about that:
"I tell my close friends, 'You can achieve anything you want to, if you put your mind to it. One person can make a difference.' I'm really passionate about educating young leaders all around the country. Letting them know, 'You can make that difference you're looking to see.' I want to inspire people. That's what I want to do."
In addition to his involvement with SBSLC, Kerry is also a member of the Eta Kappa Nu Electrical & Computer Honor Society, the Kappa Theta Epsilon Cooperative Education Honor Society, the Institute of Electrical Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), and the African Students Organization—"because I believe it's important to keep my roots by interacting with all the Africans as much as possible and letting them help me remember my country." This past January, Kerry won The Association of Former Students' Buck Weirus Award.
The SBSLC, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this January, is a conference for college students run by college students. For more information, or to register for the 2013 conference (January 17th—20th), please visit http://sbslc.tamu.edu/about.
