, updated November 9, 2012 at 6:35 AM
In recent years, the intersection where art and science meet has become a whole lot busier.
Along with the increase of mobile computing, omnipresent surveillance and other rapidly evolving technologies, a new generation of artists has arisen to use and explore that technology in their work. Many of those creative thinkers, it just so happens, work in and around the University at Buffalo.
That's partly why Sarah Bay-Cheng, an associate professor in the university's theater and dance department, has launched a new endeavor called the Techne Institute. The project will host its first public event, a colloquium called "Media Mobilities," on Saturday in the UB Center for the Arts. The event will feature some of the country's top artists and academics working with emerging technologies, including DJ and artist Paul D. Miller, who is currently the artist-in-residence at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. He will be joined by the internationally exhibited artist Hasan Elahi of the University of Maryland, Brooklyn-based artist and writer Jill Magid and several UB artists and faculty members.
Bay-Cheng said the institute's mission is to build on existing projects at UB, to foster new collaborations between the arts and sciences and to engage the Western New York public in the new projects and ideas that it helps to foster.
"What we're looking at is making people aware of some of these intersections," Bay-Cheng said. "UB has, in fact, a long-standing history of doing work at this intersection and has some really high-profile people who've been working at the forefront of this area for a very long time, both on the arts side of it but also on the sciences. What we're looking to do is to really capture that, bring it to people's attention and then build on that legacy by fostering new work."
The institute, and Saturday's colloquium, will draw on work by current university faculty members. Mark Shepard, who recently presented his work at the Venice Bienale, will talk about his tongue-in-cheek efforts to draw attention to the surveillance networks that surround many Americans and the seemingly sinister course of many consumer-driven technologies. Teri Rueb will talk about her GPS-based interactive installations, while Stephanie Rothenberg will discuss her own projects, which "question the boundaries and social constructs of manufactured desires."
The day's main event, at 4 p.m., will be a presentation by DJ Spooky, who has been credited with bringing the remix culture of pop music increasingly into the official spheres of the art world. He'll then give a performance with help from UB musicians Sandra Berdick and T.J. Borden.
Also on tap are presentations from Elahi, whose bad experience with the FBI gave him the idea to deluge the agency and other security organizations with an endless barrage of data from his life; and from Magid, whose project "Failed States" is based on her own unexpected encounter with a 2010 event in which a man shot a gun into the air in front of the Texas State Capitol. The event will end with a discussion featuring the artists in conversation with the University of Maryland's Jason Farman and Elise Morrison of Yale University.
For Bay-Cheng, this wide-ranging colloquium and the founding of the institute will help to enrich and broaden our understanding of the technologies that surround all of us.
"I think there is a lot of growing momentum in this area. The idea is that the sciences are inherently creative and technology requires creativity and innovative and imaginative thinking," she said. "You have a whole generation of people looking to make what they can from new technological methods. To a certain extent, this is nothing new, but technology has become available to the average person in a way that it's never been before."
What: "Media Mobilities: Surveilling the Intersection of Art, Mobile Technologies, and Ubiquitous Computing"
When: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday
Where: University at Buffalo Center for the Arts, North Campus, Amherst

Local agriculture a vital part of state's future
February 13, 2013
Growing buzz surrounding "local food" movements in other parts of the country may garner nothing but a few eye rolls in a state like West Virginia....
Born, As I said, I am totally committed to our "local" farmers and all farmers in general and I will always patronize our locals before I would ever enter a chain store. The only gripe I have is with some of the farm markets that we see on Saturdays is when some of those vendors are not truthful and many times misrepresent what they are selling. Maybe I see things differently since I have 40 years experience in the business and know what to look for. That being said I do not ever mean to criticize anyone for buying what they want and shopping where they want,but I do not like it when some folks criticize others for where they shop.

Well if they are legal, and willing to do the work that most Americans wouldn't, then why should that bother me? I don't even need "certified organic" food, I just want something that hasn't been treated with hormones or Agent Orange (I can wash off a little pyrethrin), and hasn't travelled as much as an MLB team on a road stretch.

Reality, you do make a good point, but I don't think we are actually disagreeing. I'm not suggesting anyone pay more for the same product, I'm saying pay a little more for a much better product. All shoppers need to be wary of what they are buying and how it is priced, even the local farmers markets you mentioned carry some branded product like you would find in a national chain. I was simply saying that "feel good farms" is not really an accurate description, unless it is meant that you may actually feel better if you are eating better food products!

Born, shop where you wish but please get off this delusion about national chains. If you want to spend 6.00 for Driscoll strawberries at you co-op good for you, but don't get bent out of shape when I buy the same Driscoll berries for 2.00 at Martins,Walmart or Aldi.

Born, you need a serious dose of Reality. I always support LOCAL, Dunnes Corn,Orr's,Butlers,Jefferson Orchards and many roadside stands too numerous to mention plus I maintain a small garden. Can you please tell me where I can buy local STONE FRUITS or local BERRIES locally in February? Also maybe you can explain to me why when I visit one of our so called Local Farmers Market I SEE crates of corn from a farm in Georgia sold at very high prices and then two days later I see the clerk at Walmart pulling corn out of a crate from the SAME farm in Georgia? At that same Local Farmers Market I see a guy trying to peddle his so called Organic Beef at highly inflated prices but when I ask him to show me his Certification he stars stuttering and can't produce it.

Apparently your grasp of farming is about as cloudy as your grasp on math. Try comparing the price vs quality of produce purchased at national chains that insource most of their produce from Mexico and Central America against that of locally grown fruits and veggies. If you don't see the compelling difference and that you actually get more from local sources, then you are either too accustomed to eating garbage, or you are buying from the wrong local source.

What is swine flu and this new strain of influenza?
Swine flu is caused by influenza viruses that normally infect pigs. The virus causing the current influenza outbreak is not a swine flu virus, but a combination of human, swine and bird viruses. The flu virus causing the current outbreak, now called Pandemic (H1N1) Influenza , has adapted itself to be easily transmitted from person-to-person. Swine in the United States have not been and are not infected with this virus.
What are the symptoms of this new flu strain in humans?
The symptoms of the flu virus in this outbreak are similar to normal seasonal influenza. Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, headache, and muscle aches. Some people have also reported runny nose, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Symptoms usually appear about 2-7 days after exposure. People generally can spread flu viruses from 1-2 days before symptoms start to about 7 days after, but scientists are not exactly sure how long people may shed the currently circulating swine flu virus.
How does flu spread?
Human-to-human transmission of this flu occurs in the same way as seasonal flu occurs in people, which is mainly person-to-person transmission through coughing or sneezing of people infected with the influenza virus. People may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose.
Can people catch the flu from eating pork?
No. Influenza viruses are not transmitted by food. You cannot get swine influenza from eating pork or pork products. Eating properly handled and cooked pork and pork products are safe. Cooking pork to an internal temperature of 160°F kills the swine flu virus as it does other bacteria and viruses.
How can human infections with influenza be diagnosed?
To identify the flu virus causing the current outbreak, a health care provider should collect a respiratory specimen (swab) within the first 4 to 5 days of illness (when an infected person is most likely to be shedding virus). The ISDH Laboratory will test the specimen and send it to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for further laboratory testing. Results are generally available within 48 hours after receipt at the ISDH Laboratory.
What medications are available to treat flu infections in humans?
There are four different antiviral drugs that are licensed for use in the US for the treatment of influenza: amantadine, rimantadine, oseltamivir and zanamivir. The North America/Human flu virus causing the current outbreak is resistant to amantadine and rimantadine. At this time, CDC recommends the use of oseltamivir (Tamiflu) or zanamivir (Relenza) for treatment of infection with this influenza virus. Use of these drugs for prevention of flu is not recommended at this time.
Are there any cases of Pandemic (H1N1) Influenza flu in Indiana?
There are 273 confirmed cases of this flu virus causing illness in Indiana as of 7/9/09. Additional cases are likely to occur.
How many cases of Pandemic (H1N1) Influenza flu have been identified?
Updated information about the number of confirmed cases in the U.S. can be found at http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/ .
Is a vaccine available to prevent infection from this flu strain?
Does getting the seasonal flu shot protect me from catching this flu virus?
Public health officials are unsure. It appears that it may not prevent you from catching this flu virus, but it might decrease the severity of your illness.
Should I travel to places known to have confirmed cases of Pandemic (H1N1) Influenza flu?
At this time there are no travel restrictions limiting travel to Mexico, other countries, or within the United States; however, the CDC recommends traveling to affected areas for essential purposes only. Travel advisories may change. If you travel to areas with confirmed cases, avoid contact with ill persons and practice good hand hygiene.
How do I prevent the spread of flu?
The best way to prevent transmission of flu is to avoid contact with ill individuals and practice good hand hygiene. Stay home and away from others if you become ill.
How do I get more information about this flu?
You can go to the CDC website at http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/ or to the Indiana State Department of Health website at http://www.h1n1.in.gov/. You may also visit the World Health Organization website at http://www.who.org/.
For more detailed information, contact the ISDH Influenza Call Center at 877.826.0011.

Greatest nation in world should have best pay
February 27, 2013
The Republicans are now refusing to increase the minimum wage in the United States to $9, even though other nations in the world have a minimum wage higher than that....
What a bunch of bull ! I've had the good fortune of having lived in Europe for more than a decade and I tell you Europe is light years ahead of the US in education, communication, mass transit and health care. We do however have an insurmountable lead in crime, drug usage, homelessness and trailer parks.

Reality---> I always find it ironic how public sector workers need to unionize to protect themselves from who? The government. So the entity all these liberals trust can't be trusted by the people who work for them. Isn't that ironic (or is it hypocrisy)?

"BTW I don't work for a union and have a 6 figure income...Weird huh? doesn't fit into your Keynesian economic model does it?"
I was in a union for 21 years and I had to leave the union to move into position to increase my income. Unions actually inhibit earning potential. Unions are good for some and bad for others. I will state this one more time,overall,unions ARE NOT what they once were.

CO--> Don't show me studies. (I can prove almost anything in theory uses cherry picked data). Show me one real case where raising the minimum wage has resulted in better economic conditions and higher productivity. I'd argue that raising the minimum wage CAUSES inflation, the company will pass their cost onto the consumer raising the price of the product, the company will then look at outsourcing their product to a country that has lower wages to maximize their revenue. And as you continually state if there's no inflation why raise the minimum wage, If the dollar goes as far today as it did 20 years ago, then people making minimum wage would not be falling further behind right?
3 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The real issue is that with the decline of unions, workers are not able to counter the power of management. It has been widely reported that during the last 30 years, during the greatest boom in productivity in history, that workers wages have been stagnant.
Raising the minimum wage can counter, to some extent p, the power of management. An increase in the minimum wage slowly increase many other wages of low income workers. This has the effect of increasing demand throughout the economy, leading to greater growth.

Most minimum wage workers are adults (71%), age 20 and up.[2] Women and minority workers are over-represented among the minimum wage workforce. Slightly less than half (48%) of the minimum wage workforce are full-time workers.

• Historically, analyses of the minimum wage's impact on young workers have never shown the predicted large job-loss effects. • The small negative employment effects found in past analyses diminish over time and are no longer statistically significant. • Minimum wage increases are well targeted in the sense that 63% of the gains from a dollar increase in the minimum wage would be expected to accrue to working households in the bottom 40% of the income distribution. • Of the 8.4 million workers (age 18 to 64) whose wages and incomes would increase with a one-dollar raise in the minimum wage, 2.7 million (32%) are the parents of 4.7 million children. Of the 2.7 million parents who earned at or near the current minimum wage in 1999, 63% had family incomes below $25,000.

Don't, studies show that gradually raising the minimum wage has no negative consequences and several positive consequences.

If you work for a company for 2 years and still make minimum wage then the problem is with you not the company. The only thing raising minimum wage does is hurt the teenage workforce and anyone unemployed trying to get into a new line of work and needs to gain experience or prove his/her worth. If I own a company and I don't think you are worth $9/hr I'm simply not going to hire you and how do you prove to me you are worth $9/hr unless you can go to work for me?
People that make these comments think in very simple terms to very complex problems. I know that we have created a "soundbite" society, but unless we can discuss these issues intelligently and more thoughtfully nothing will ever get accomplished.

If raising the minimum wage solves poverty let's just raise it to $100/hr and we'll all be rich. Problem solved.

Technical information
|Starting point:
|Getting to the starting point:
|Bus to Acquacalda
|Getting to the destination:
|Funicular railway from Ritom upper station
|Physical fitness:
|Hiking time:
|June till September
The highlight at the end of this enchanting tour is a true spectacle: From Acquacalda up to the Passo del Sole and past Cadagno Hütte to Lake Ritom, it ends at the top station of the steepest funicular railway in the world.
Here adventure hungry sightseers are truly dropped down on a cable. With a breathtaking maximum gradient of 87.8 percent the bright red cable car jerks its way down to Piotta. This almost feels like freefalling – albeit in slow motion. It is not a bad idea to enjoy the panoramic views and some of the many local delicacies in one of the Piora Valley's picturesque "Grotti" – rustic mountain restaurants – or mountain huts before the ride, even if just to muster some pretended courage. Perhaps in the "Capanna Cadagno", where a wonderful brasato polenta is served, garnished with the legendary local Piora cheese that is produced nowhere else but here.
At any rate, this five-hour hike does not in the least lack exclusive features. This is already evident at the beginning of the tour, where holidays in harmony with nature are on offer in the multiple award winning "Centro Ecologico" in Acquacalda below the Lukmanier Pass.

Local filmmakers showcased in February's Filmadelphia at the Roxy Series
By Avery Maehrer
Joe Lee was horrified to make the call.
An idea had sprung in his head for a documentary about Sue and Ron Witman, whose family made headlines after their son was found guilty of brutally killing his younger brother. But for Lee's vision to come to fruition, he had to pick up the phone and convince the married couple to tell him their story. After Lee overcame his nerves and reached out to the Witmans, they met in person. The rest is history.
"They kind of fell in love with us," Lee said. "And we fell in love with them."
The result of what followed Lee's phone call is "The Witmans" – one of three short films by local filmmakers showcased on Feb. 18 in the
Philadelphia Film Society's Filmadelphia at the Roxy program. In addition to Lee's work, Doris ChiaChing Lin's "Maquette 1:1000" and Hilary Brashear's "Triptych" were also screened in front of a packed theater.

Let's put this into perspective: The last time a woman won, George W. Bush was still president, J.K. Rowling was still writing the Harry Potter series, and no one had any idea who Snooki was. Well, maybe a few people knew her.
After Ryan Seacrest all but begged us to vote for a female, we finally got to see the level of the women's talent. Angela Miller sat at the piano and sang her own song, "You Set Me Free." It was a show-stopping performance, prompting judge Keith Urban to rave.
"If that was recorded right there, I would play it in my car," he said. "That was just a beautiful song."
Miller was followed by Candice Glover, who gave an strong version of Alicia Keys's "Girl on Fire." Janelle Arthur also impressed with a pleasant version of Carrie Underwood's "I told You So."
Shubha Vedula had the nerve to sing a Mariah Carey song in front of Mariah Carey and did a great job.
And then there was Zoanette Johnson. (At some point, she needs to drop her last name and just be known as Zoanette.) She played the drums as she sang a song she had improvised onstage the previous night. It was a rambling tune about her Idol experience. It was manic and baffling. And then she came to an abrupt stop and yelled at the background singers.
"Slow it down! C'mon guys," she pleaded. "I need this to be right." At some point, she lost a drumstick.
It's fun to imagine what Simon Cowell's reaction would be to her performances.
Kez Ban, the season's other memorable contestant, was quickly cut from the competition after singing her original song. There is clearly only room for one unpredictable contestant this season – and her name is Zoanette.
As the show wound down, the judges cut the field down to 20 women, and then brought in the remaining 28 male singers to cut them down to 20. That's when the judges had Josh Holiday sing "Georgia on My Mind." He split his pants from crotch to knee.
But Holiday and 39 others are season 12's top 40. One of them will be the next American Idol. Will it be a girl?

Mike Lee is an exceptional developer and an even better person. His life's story is fascinating and the work he does benefits developers around the world, especially those who build mobile apps. Mike's a visionary guy and he has taken his vision of protecting and serving developers and built something real—a community-driven developer "safe-house" or, better yet, a global cultural center for app developers, a place to get training and support, help and guidance, build skills and get help when patent trolls attack. This place is called Appsterdam. In Mike's words "for app makers and product engineers, we have one API: What do you need?".
What is Appsterdam?
Here, Mike shares with us the story of how he got into computing and product engineering and how his path has led him to Appsterdam (and to Amsterdam, Netherlands). He explains the purpose and goals of Appsterdam, which are noble indeed. Mike's a visionary. He's able to follow his convictions and explain them with intelligence and passion. Heck, after the interview I felt like packing up and moving to Amsterdam! I'm glad Microsoft is involved with Appsterdam. It's great to see such devotion to developers and to the craft, business, culture and humanity of product engineering. I've not met anybody quite like Mike before. It was great listening to Mike's story and his passion is inspirational.
(Stay tuned for his YOW! session - it will be available soon. We'll provide a link to it and all other YOW! sessions).
Mike's YOW! speaker page
Tune in. Enjoy. Meet Mike Lee.
The YOW! Developer Conference offers outstanding opportunities to learn more about the latest practices, technologies, and methodologies for building innovative software solutions as well as the chance to meet and network with international software experts and other talented developers in Australia. Thanks to Dave Thomas and the event's excellent staff - Mary Catherine (MC), Lisa, Aino, Melissa, and others - for inviting me to this excellent pure developer event and thanks to all of the speakers for letting me take some of their time to record conversations for Channel 9. If you live in Australia, or aren't too far away, or just like to travel (who doesn't?), then you need to go to this yearly event. It's outstanding. There are many great developers down under. That's for sure. The speakers are exceptional—Dave and team set a high bar!
Oops, something didn't work.
Standing Ovation & Cheers or encore! encore!.
I was like WTF!? before playing the video, by the I'm more MMM!
I like the parenting/developer metaphor, protecting the end user from the suffering of getting stuff to work..

Some Answers to Job Interview Questions
By: Muna wa Wanjiru
Posted: Jun 27, 2008
The answers to the questions asked in the interview should be given with full confidence. The interviewers, in addition to the answers, do normally pay attention to the way of answering. Therefore, it is important that your answers should reflect your level of confidence. The answers should be simple and short.
While answering the questions, make sure that the answers given are short. However, though short, they should be complete in itself. They should be such that the interviewer should be completely satisfied with it. However, if your answer does not satisfy the interviewer, try to explain to him only until he is on that question. Most of the times, if the interviewer is not satisfied with the answer he may ask another question. If this happens, concentrate on the new question.
Some questions are very common and they are always asked in the interview. For these questions, it is better if you are well prepared. Examples of such questions are like, what are your skills, etc. However, even if you prepare the answer in advance, the language should be simple and causal. It should seem like your answer is just what came to your mind after the interviewer asked the question. The interviewers test the aspirants for their quick thinking and that too under pressure. This is depicted from the answers that you give to the interviewers during the interview. Therefore, giving the interviewer an impression as if, you are answering instantaneously and at the movement, is beneficial.

The interviewer may ask questions about the previous job and colleagues of that company. While answering such questions, always be positive. Never complain or mumble about the previous company and the related issues as these questions are asked for testing your relations with the colleagues of that company. This reflects your interpersonal skills and ability to work in cooperation with others.
Therefore, be positive and do not refer to any conflicts or arguments that you may have had while working there. Similarly never, complain about the management of that company. Portray a picture that you were comfortable with everybody. You can even highlight that, you had very good relationship with the coworkers. For this you can refer to some examples of quotes from the coworkers saying that you were are very good worker and colleague.
Then, you may be posed with some questions where your honest opinion will prove good even though it may be little distracting for the interviewer. For example, the interviewer may ask you whether you are trying for other jobs. A short and honest answer will not cause much distraction.
The answers to job interview questions like to find out your comfort level to work for this company require some knowledge about the company. All your answers should be supported by a suitable data.
One of the crucial question asked in an interview is regarding the salary expectations. You should never try to answer this question directly. You should say that it would depend upon the job responsibilities. Alternatively, you can put the ball in his court asking the interviewer the approximate range offered for that position.
If you are an experienced person in that field you are applying for then the interviewer may ask about the skills you possess and various cases wherein your skills were put to use.. For this question, you should always be prepared with example to which you can refer.

Board Purchase Help!
Hey looking for advice from someone other than the guy selling me a board haha. Afraid of them pushing a board on me they want to get rid of!
Anyway. I've been riding for about 6 years. I have a k2 Zeppelin for about 5 years, and I feel like it's time to change, and explore some new technology. But after reading a lot about camber/rocker/hybrids, all-mountain/freeride/freestyle, I am more confused.
90% of what I do on the mountain is throw my iPod on, and fly down with as much speed as I can handle, stopping sometimes to play with a small jump or carve around. I like to go fast and I like to maneuver a lot. Then for maybe an hour or two I might go to the park to hit some rails and such. I really don't go in the pipe (yet?).
Also I mostly am in PA, sometimes in Vermont, but I'm going out to Vail this year, and may start going West more. ( Iunderstand there are considerations in board for nice powder vs crappy east coast snow (ice).
So I want to choose a board that let's me continue to go fast, has a lot of control for carving and tight turns, but also that I can use to play around lightly in the terrain park (but not a trick rider by any means).
So what do you think? All help appreciated. As for price, I can probably afford what I need, but obviously don't want to pay more than I need to.
Thanks so much!
Rossignol One MagTek
Ride Machete
Burton Custom
Surprised no one's mentioned the Proto yet...
Skier's Edge- thanks I'll check them out. But really more than specific boards I am looking for a little explanation if someone doesn't mind taking a minute. What style/shape (Freeride/camber? etc) board am I looking for and why?
That can help me search through different boards easier :)
sheepstealer - why do you say that? inside joke I'm not in on?
Because of your affection for speed and carving, I'd stay away from pure rocker boards. A straight camber board is better for that (tracks more easily at speed, edge locks into a carve more firmly, etc). The hybrid camber boards are somewhere in the middle, and many are tweaked to be more aimed at freeriding (often directional shapes, a little stiffer flex, probably not super fun on rails), all-mountain (jack-of-all-trades: decent float, can charge and carve, playful and forgiving enough for the park - but there are better purpose-specific boards for each application), or park boards (soft, forgiving, often lower-priced and made of more inexpensive materials). Burton's Flying V, NeverSummer's RC, YES/Jones/Nidecker's CamRock, Lib Tech/Gnu's C2, and Capita's Freeride FK are all examples of hybrid camber. The idea is to get the playfulness and pow float of rocker, while still getting some pop, straight-line tracking, and carving ability from camber.
Some manufacturers have also started to make flat, zero-camber boards. The Capita Midlife and K2 Happy hour are good examples.
I agree with the recommendation of the Burton Custom. It's the board that defines the "all-mountain freestyle" category for a lot of people. Always a dependable choice. I also like the Machete. You may want to check out the GT version for a little lighter weight and more pop. I'm unfamiliar with the Rossignol Magtek.
You might also want to consider:
The LibTech TRS
Gnu Riders Choice
Capita Midlife, Outdoor Living, and Defenders of Awesome
K2 Happy Hour
Lots of great boards out there these days!
People LOVE their neversummers around here, that's the joke.
I think a hybrid camber or a flat/mostly flat board would be good, if you wanna rail turns and then fuck around in the park. These will be able to make awesome turns, be stable at speed, and have full edge engagement when making a turn, so you can rail.
I'm an all or nothing person and want to keep snowboarding simple. I've stayed away from hybrid camber profiles, and would either go full camber, full reverse, or flat. Others really like hybrid camber and will be here shortly to tell you about the benefits. (HI MATTY!)
I say go flat/zero
A coupla flat/mostly flat boards worth checking out.
Capita Outdoor Living/Mid Life Zero
K2 Happy Hour (all flat) FastPlant (mostly flat, but more playful)
Dinosaurs Will Die - Bogart/Genovese
Smokin Team series has some flats.
What are your measurements?
For the board style, I would want to put you on either a hybrid (blends good features of camber and rocker) or a camber board. Camber is the traditional shape board designed for more performance/more precise turning and pop. They are not as playful as a Hybrid or a Rocker but it all depends on the person.
Since you love speed, you will need a stiffer board so there won't be much chatter at higher speeds. The stiffer board will be much easier to control down the mountain but in a park they will not be nearly as fun just because they are so harder to flex.
All of these boards are great for charging the mountain at high speeds and are on the stiffer side so they won't have much chatter but will not be ideal in a park. It seems like you aren't nearly as concerned about the park so they would be fine.
Rossignol One MagTek - magne-traction helps to carve in icy/hard packed conditions (lots of people tell us that once they try a board with this they will never ride a board with out it, hybrid rocker
Ride Machete - hybrid rocker, long flat spot throughout the center for stability and rocker on tip and tail for more float/harder to catch an edge, has won awards in recent years for being an amazing moutain board
Burton Custom - full camber board, amazing all around board, i believe the most popular board of all time, can handle higher speeds well
Hope this helps a little more!
Huge help. I knew this forum would be helpful! Sounds like maybe a Machete is a good call. Everyone recommending a stiff board for me makes sense, but at the same time I don't want to screw myself for when I AM in the terrain park.
I'm also one of "those" people that isn't too into buying the generic board...so a Burton Custom just doesn't sound like a fun purchase, even though I know it is what it is because it's good at what it is ha. Would love to find a board to satisfy my needs that is more boutique. Butttttt I know, I know...get the board that's best for me despite it's name.
Oh and so which Neversummer would seem to be right for me? I'm looking at the site and there's a lot of overlap on the boards. Suggestions?

Hard Rock Cafe supports Bread & Broth
Bread & Broth would like to thank Hard Rock Cafe for sponsoring the March 18 Monday evening $250 Adopt A Day dinner served at St. Theresa Church's Grace Hall. Hard Rock Cafe sent seven ambassador volunteers to help with all of the activities necessary to feed more than 80 guests who attended the evening's meals.
Lizzy Gates, operations manager; Tony Prendiz, prep cook; Kim Templeton, sales/marketing manager; Duane Young, busser; and JZ Zinniel, server, arrived at 3 p.m. to help assist Bread & Broth volunteers. They bagged giveaways and wrapped silverware; then at 4 p.m. they served dinner, all the while giving big welcoming smiles to the evening guests.
After their work shift at Hard Rock Cafe, Krissy Tylende, retail store associate, and Taylor Carson, bartender, arrived to help their fellow ambassadors with the tear-down of tables and chairs and kitchen cleanup.
"They were all fabulous workers and they were all very happy to be there with us" said Christy Slocum, the evening's Bread & Broth volunteer coordinator.
Hard Rock Cafe and its ambassador volunteers have been major ongoing supporters of Bread & Broth. In addition to sponsoring the evening's Adopt A Day of Nourishment, Hard Rock Cafe has been Bread & Broth's go-to employer when we are in need of extra volunteers, especially on the fifth Mondays of the month and they hosted a Bread & Broth volunteer "thank you" breakfast last September. Bread & Broth recognizes and applauds the role Hard Rock Cafe plays in our success in helping the needy of our community.

So, a man walks into a courthouse with a duck… no, really.
A couple of weeks ago, Honolulu resident Michael Hubbard went to court on two charges of felony assault. Most folks want some support when they appear before a judge, and apparently Hubbard's pet duck was the closest friend he could find in a hurry.
Since no news source mentioned the duck's name, let's call him Daffy. Daffy was discovered by courthouse security when Hubbard's bag passed through the X-ray machine. Sharp-eyed screeners noticed the bag was moving. (I'd have either fainted or fled out the front door, which is why I'm not working courthouse security.)
Hubbard initially refused to let the duck out of the bag, so to speak, but then he 'fessed up. Nestled alongside the duck were two 40-ounce beers, but whether they were for drinking or keeping Daffy cool remains a mystery.
Daffy, alas, did not get his day in court. Hubbard had to leave him outside, which is understandable. For all we know Daffy is a trained attack duck, but happily no feathers flew. (Well, no more than usual in a courtroom, anyway.)
Officials said that while the duck was a first, people often bring their dogs to court. Note: Even man's best friend can't post your bail, so that's also a big waste of time.
Now, I've seen my share of animals in odd places. Back when ferrets were a big fad, a man walked into a bar at Wrightsville Beach, N.C. one Saturday night cradling a ferret in his flannel shirt.
When it slithered up around his neck like some furry, clawed alien, pandemonium ensued. Management strongly urged him to leave. I may or may not have been among those screaming, "Make him leave! Make him leave!"
I also once saw a dog trot calmly through a pizza restaurant in Colorado. He entered through one door as a customer exited, and left through the opposite door as a customer entered. He did not look to the left or right, and never broke stride. He knew exactly where he was going, and I hope he got there.
Perhaps my best anecdote about uninvited animals is this one: My ex-husband and I were driving from North Carolina to Virginia. With us was our magnificently ugly, giant white bulldog named Elvis. He was loyal, loving and hideous to behold. With his crooked, protruding fangs and mottled pink and black head, babies used to cry when he waddled into a room.
Shortly after sunrise, with the shadows of night still lingering, we stopped at a Hardee's in Currituck County for some breakfast. The ex ordered four biscuits, two for us and two for Elvis, who was dozing in the back seat.
A few minutes later a very polite woman leaned out the drive-up window to hand us our food. That's when Elvis woke with a start. He thrust his giant misshapen head out of the shadows into her face, his jagged teeth gaping and pink eyes glowing.
I've never seen such an expression of sheer terror on a human. "Dat dog look like SATAN!" she screamed, and reflexively threw the bag in the air. It turned a lazy arc, landed on the driver's side mirror and split open. She continued to scream.
I, responding to some primal Bonnie and Clyde instinct, shouted, "Go, go, GO!!!!" Mr. Smith gunned the motor and we peeled out in a cloud of biscuit crumbs.
I regret to report that Elvis never did get his breakfast, but we laughed all the way to Norfolk.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.

Weight loss surgery is major surgery. Although most patients enjoy an improvement in obesity-related health conditions (such as mobility, self-image and self-esteem) after the successful results of weight loss surgery, these results should not be the overriding motivation for having a bariatric surgery procedure....The goal is to live better, healthier and longer! Calculate your BMI >>
To learn more about if bariatric surgery is right for you, please contact a Community bariatric center >>
The most important step in weight loss surgery is getting all the information you need. You should make the decision to have weight loss surgery only after careful consideration and consultation with an experienced bariatric surgeon. Your surgeon should answer your questions clearly and explain the exact details of the procedure, the extent of the recovery period and the reality of the follow-up care that will be required. When you ask a question, make sure you understand the answer. Do not hesitate to ask for a clearer explanation given in simpler language. As part of routine evaluation for weight loss surgery, you will also consult with a registered nurse or dietitian. This is to help establish a clear understanding of the post-operative changes in behavior that are essential for long-term success.
The decision to have a weight loss surgical procedure may take several visits to a doctor's office or consultation with more than one doctor. Ask your doctor for names of other patients who have had similar procedures and who are willing to discuss their experiences, good and bad, with you. If you choose to research weight loss surgery on your own on the Internet or at your local library, be sure that your sources are responsible, recognized experts in the field. An excellent resource for weight loss surgery is the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS).
It is important to remember that there are no guarantees in any kind of medicine or surgery. There can be unexpected outcomes in even the simplest procedures. Weight loss surgery will only succeed when the patient makes a lifelong commitment. Some of the challenges a person faces after weight loss surgery can be unexpected; lifestyle changes can strain relationships within families and between married couples. To help patients achieve their goals and deal with the changes that surgery and weight loss can bring, we offer follow-up care in the form of individual therapy and support groups led by our bariatric services teams. You will also receive nutritional follow-up counseling from a dietitian, telephone and e-mail support and continuing education opportunities.
Your decision to have the procedure is entirely up to you. After gathering all the information, you must decide if the benefits outweigh the side effects and potential complications. This surgery is only a tool. Your ultimate success depends on your commitment to the recommended dietary, exercise and lifestyle changes.

Since Kenny tried to get Edler it's obvious that he could be looking at some help on "D".
If Boston wants some help od offense (Alfredsson/Iginla for exemple or to keep Horton), they could be trading some players such as : Rich Peverley, Chris Kelly or Johnny Boychuk (per James Mirtle) and we could also add McQuaid. I don't think that they will move Tyler Seguin so they are going to move someone else.
One player who could help us is Johnny Boychuk, RHD with a big shot, big hitter, can play on PP and PK, with a $3,366,667 cap hit for another 2 years... They could be looking for some picks/prospects since they might need to shed money.
Another player who could be also nice pickup is Kelly as Helm replacement.
What would be the asking price?
Kronwall - Boychuk
DeKe - Smith
E - Kindl/Q

In this interview:
Oops, something didn't work.
For the love of Ballmer... please stop recording/encoding 16x9 videos with the black bars.
4x3 displays/players will add them if needed and 16x9 displays don't need em and end up adding their own giving a nice ring of black around the video.

Psychotics are less delusional than how Kovalev remembers his NHL career.
Q. You have a reputation that Kovalev may be excellent in one game, and the next game you cannot see him.
KOVALEV: "One journalist wrote it when I was still playing in New York, and then it all started. There are such reporters, who don't watch hockey, don't understand it but they will still say that Kovalev doesn't give his all. That he plays whenever he wants. They are short on their own opinion."'
He berates the Ottawa media, for apparently channeling all their anger towards him and bringing beer through the airport.
Just once, I'd to hear a mercurial superstar who shat away talent through multiple disputes with coaches and management say: "Yeah, I bounced around quite a bit because I had a bad attitude and I didn't listen to anyone's advice. There were years there, where I literally did not break a sweat. But that's over now and I want to contribute in a positive way to a team with great ambition."
He almost says that here:
I am approached on the street in Montreal, New York and told one thing: 'Don't take the bad to your head. We always support and love you. You're the best.'
But probably not Pittsburgh:
"Getting Malkin back and he's already signed, the need for a soft floating Euro with effort issues is going to be filled."
"I noticed him when he was turning the puck over. That and anytime he tried to play a puck along the wall."

Some state and local elected officials are shocked that the College of Charleston has not canceled a Thursday campus talk by British psychologist Adrian Raine.
If you go:
What: British psychologist Adrian Raine will discuss the connection between violence and biology.
When: 6 p.m. Thursday
Where: Auditorium of the School of Sciences and Mathematics Building, 202 Calhoun St.
Cost: The event is free and open to the public.
Raine testified as an expert witness for the defense in the trial of a man who brutally raped and murdered Peyton Tuthill in 1999 in Colorado. Tuthill graduated from the College of Charleston in 1997.
County Council Vice Chairman Elliott Summey, a 1999 graduate of the college, said he's furious with his alma mater for allowing Raine to appear on campus. And state Rep. Jim Merrill, R-Daniel Island, said he and some other legislators will look less favorably at the college if it doesn't cancel Raine's talk.
Tuthill's mother and many of her friends had asked the college to cancel Raine's visit.
But college spokesman Mike Robertson said the college stands by a statement it made earlier this month and will allow the talk to go on as planned, citing the need for academic freedom.
Tuthill's mother, Pat Tuthill, said she's extremely upset that Raine will be allowed to speak. College leaders told her Raine will not mention her daughter's case, and he won't be allowed to hold a book signing. But those measures really don't make the situation much better, she said. "The right thing to do would have been to cancel. It never should have gotten this far."
Raine's research focuses on biological and social factors in criminal behavior. He testified on behalf of Donta Page, who is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for Tuthill's murder. A jury found Page guilty of first-degree murder. A three-judge panel considered the death penalty, but opted instead for a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
According to a Nov. 18, 2000, story in The Denver Post, Raine said that the frontal lobes of Page's brain were misshapen, identical to the frontal lobes of 41 murderers Raine had examined. The frontal lobes control impulsive and violent behavior.
Raine's new book, "The Anatomy of Violence," recently was released. In the book, he discusses Page, and Tuthill's murder.
Summey said Raine "has a right to pimp his book somewhere else. But if he's pimping it on the campus where Peyton walked, that's something else."
He also said that he no longer will vote in favor of requests from the college for financial support from the county.
Philosophy professor Thomas Nadelhoffer said he didn't know when he invited Raine to speak at the college that Raine had testified in Page's murder trial. He invited Raine because he was the world's leading expert on neurobiology of crime.
Lynn Cherry, Speaker of the Faculty, said the faculty supports Raine being allowed to speak. "It's certainly appropriate to bring in a guest speaker when they are an expert, credible authority on a subject."
Merrill said he has had conversations with school officials. He thinks some administrators considered canceling the talk but caved to faculty demands. "I thought the college would do the right thing," he said. "It's just wrong."
Peyton's family and friends continue to grieve for her, he said. "The college is making the wound even deeper. She's one of our own."

Lincoln Park boys take on Clairton tonight
MIDLAND - Lincoln Park tips off later today for a chance to play in the program's third-straight WPIAL Class A championship game.
The top-seeded Leopards (19-5) take on No. 6 Clairton (15-6) in a Class A semifinal at 8 p.m. today at Keystone Oaks High School in Dormont, Pa.
Lincoln Park got to this point with two blowout victories - 95-37 vs. Mapletown in its playoff opener and 99-58 vs. No. 8 Wilkinsburg in the quarterfinals.
Maverick Rowan, a 6-foot-5 freshman, averaged 32.5 points in those games; 6-8 junior Elijah Minnie averaged 25 points; and 6-6 junior Ryan Skovranko averaged 17 points.
In the Leopards' win against Wilkinsburg, Minnie added 13 blocks and 11 rebounds to his 26 points.
Clairton recorded wins against St. Joseph (74-38) and No. 5 Union (66-55) to advance to this point.
The Bears' basketball season didn't start until Dec. 21 due to the fact the football team won the PIAA Class A title on Dec. 14 - a 20-0 win vs. Dunmore to cap a perfect 16-0 season.
By that time, Lincoln Park already had played six times on the hardwood and stood at 3-3.
The teams have three common opponents - Wilkinsburg and Mapletown, the team's Park has played in the postseason, and Our Lady of Sacred Heart. Clairton split with Wilkinsburg during the regular season, beat Mapletown twice and lost its only meeting with OLSH. Lincoln Park, meanwhile, was 4-0 against the common opponents and won by an average of 37.3 points.
The other Class A semifinal features No. 2 Vincentian (23-1) against No. 4 North Catholic (16-5). Tip is 8 p.m. today at North Hills High School.
It's the third meeting between the teams this season with Vincentian capturing both previous contests.
Lincoln Park and Vincentian are considered among the best small school teams in the commonwealth, ranked 3-4, respectively, in the latest Class A rankings as released by PennLive.com/Patriot-News.
Vincentian's lone loss, 83-81, came Jan. 12 vs. visiting Bishop Carroll (20-4), ranked sixth in Class A.
Lincoln Park is the defending WPIAL champion, having knocked off Vincentian in last season's semifinals. The two teams met in the 2010-11 finals with Vincentian gaining the win.

The Stetson sand volleyball team fell twice in a home Atlantic Sun Conference doubleheader to UNF on Wednesday, coming up short by scores of 3-2 and 4-1 at the Stetson sand volleyball courts.
Trailing 2-0 in the first contest, Stetson (9-9, 3-3 A-Sun) rallied to tie the match with wins by Erika White and Erin Robertson at the no. 3 spot and by Savannah Byl and Maren Rygh at the no. 2 position. However, UNF's top pair of Dagnija Media and Anna Budinska was able to outlast Kaley Melville and Julie Bassett in a tightly contested three-set match, 2-1.
Alisa Hoffman and Catherine Coston accounted for the Hatters lone win the second match, although Byl and Rygh came up just short in a third set tiebreaker, 15-13.
"There were some high points and some low points," Stetson assistant coach Meghan Bryant said. "UNF is a good team, and to be honest, they match up with us really well. We had a couple of teams step up - Savannah and Maren played really well as did Erin and Erika against the no. 5 seed. We struggled in the other sets, and it wasn't because we played poorly, we just couldn't capitalize on what we needed to capitalize on, and they did.
"I think it comes down to doing just one or two things differently," Bryant added. "We didn't play smart today, we played timid for the most part. It is something we have struggled with at times. We need to be more aggressive and build some momentum going into the A-Sun tournament."
Stetson fell to 3-6 in matches decided by a 3-2 margin.
"We just have to find that killer instinct," head coach Tim Loesch said. "It has bitten us a couple times this year. We have won some close ones, but we have lost a lot of close ones, too."
The Hatters will host Mercer in another A-Sun doubleheader at 10 a.m. on Saturday.

Egg Muffins
Happy New Year to everyone! These egg muffins are a great way to start your new year off right. They're healthy, packed with protein and very delicious!
I'm joining the bandwagon, as I do every January 1st, and vowing to lose a few pounds gained over the holidays. Another vow is to eat breakfast every morning. (Yep, I have been known to skip it, and turn into a big mean hungry grouch by 11 a.m) Plus, I know that eating breakfast is so important for a fast metabolism and will prevent over-eating later in the day.
These egg muffins can be made with any type of veggies and meat you would like. Of course, you can add a little cheese too. I skipped out on the cheese this time, but think I'll definitely add some the next time.
Egg Muffins
8 large eggs
2 Tablespoons milk
1 cup diced Ham
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup Red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk eggs and milk until just combined. Stir in ham, chives, bell pepper and cheese. Divide the egg mixture evenly to each 12 muffin cups. Bake for 20 minutes or until egg is set.
Let cool 5 minutes, then using a knife, loosen up the edges of each muffin and carefully remove. Serve and enjoy ♥
Makes 12 egg muffins. Serves 3-4

You can also freeze them for when you don't have time to make breakfast. They aren't as good as fresh, but they're better than pop-tarts.

They look de-lish like always Holly! I was wondering about freezing, I'll give it a try.

USFS press release (announcing the Olympic, World and Four Continents teams and alternates): http://www.usfigureskating.org/Story...109&type=media
Why on earth was Gao passed over (5th place)? I'm guessing she declined this spot.
Same goes for N/B...
how many US ladies passed on a spot... Wagner, Cohen, Gao, Liang, Hughes, Csizny
As an American, I actually have to agree that the USFSA could be better at scheduling the event. Yes, Nationals have been there for a while. Yes, 4CC is newer than US Nationals, Yes, 4CC is an awkward event during the Olympic Season. All this said, in a rapidly globalizing world, we can't ignore the world just because we've done so in the past. What the original post suggests is that US ladies skaters and ice dancers would have benefited immensely from their respective competitions being even a few days earlier, which would not interfere with this notion of traditionalism that you're striving for.
The real problem is that NBC insisted that US nats be held over 2 weekends, so the skaters basically have to go from one competition to another with no rest at all in between. And this applies to the top men and pairs, since they had to stay in Spokane for the gala.

It seemed somehow fitting for Jim Kelly to tell the world about his jaw cancer at the start of his annual golf tournament Monday.
The Kelly for Kids Foundation has raised tens of millions of dollars to help kids during the last 25 years. Kelly brought the Bills to four Super Bowls, but his greatest achievement in life has been bringing hope and support to countless children in their battle against life-threatening illness.
When I heard the news, the first thing I thought of was his late son, Hunter, whose eight-year fight with Krabbe disease inspired Kelly to found the Hunter's Hope Foundation to fund research into rare childhood diseases.
We all have our fond moments of Kelly on the football field. But perhaps his finest moment as a man and father came at his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Aug. 3, 2002, when he talked about Hunter's courage and told the world how glad he was that Hunter was still alive to be there.
"A lot of people say toughness is my trademark," Kelly said in Canton. "Well, the toughest person I've ever met in my life is my hero, my soldier, my son, Hunter."
I cried during Kelly's speech that day, and when I heard about his jaw cancer Monday morning, my first thought was of Hunter. I wanted to believe that Hunter's battle, and Kelly's many years of dedication to children, had somehow prepared him for the battle he faces.
Like Bill Polian, I believe people's kindnesses come back to them in life. As the news spread Monday, you could almost feel the accumulated hopes and prayers of Bills fans in Western New York and around the world, rooting for their indomitable Hall of Famer to knock cancer on its ass.
"I think it (Hunter's fight) prepared him to deal with stuff like this," Darryl Talley said by phone from Florida. "Jim knows what kind of fight it's going to be. One thing you could always count on with Jim. He's not going to shy away from a fight. I know that, and everyone who knows him knows that."
Talley heard the news from his wife, Janine, as they were working at an estate sale. She asked if he'd heard about Jim. He said no. Talley flashed back to that fateful night in October of 2011, when he heard the news that Kent Hull had died.
Please, don't let it be that.
"I was blown away," Talley said. "I just looked at my phone. Then I called Bruce (Smith). He said, 'His mouth probably hurts, send him a text.' So I texted him, 'We love you, and you'll get through this.' "
Then Talley, who was always the emotional conscience of those Bills teams, started thinking about Jill Kelly. All these years, she has stood beside her husband, or behind him. She was there for all of it, for Kelly's last days as a Bill, for Hunter's illness, for Jim's surgeries. Now this. Cancer.
"The person who I really feel bad for is Jill," Talley said. "Because she has to be the anchor with this. She dealt with Hunter for so many years. Now, she has to turn around and deal with this. She's truly been an anchor for him, the one holding him down to reality.
"As a group, I think we did a pretty good job of picking our women when we were younger. We picked some very strong, supportive women. We've done some heroic things, some rough-and-tumble things and very crazy things. But at the end of the day, we have to be grounded in what we do.
"Jim is like my brother. He has cancer. He lost a son. He has an awful lot to bear right now. For he and Jill to have to go through something like this again, it's just wrong."
Of course, you won't hear Kelly feeling sorry for himself. In the last two years, he's had back surgery, neck surgery, double hernia surgery. He called his illness "one more river to cross." Sound familiar? Those were the very words Kelly used after he led the Bills past the Raiders, 51-3, in the 1991 AFC title game, putting them in their first Super Bowl.
Kelly said the doctors got the cancer – squamous-cell carcinoma – early. He said it's isolated to his upper jaw and hasn't spread. It sounds as if he's well on his way to crossing that river to recovery.
Cancer can be a sinister foe. I found that out last October when it took my mother. The disease wins its share. But doctors say a positive attitude counts for a lot, and if that's the case here, cancer picked a formidable opponent in Jim Kelly, who was as tough a football player as I ever saw.
My most vivid memory of Kelly was in defeat, when he refused to stop competing in the last Super Bowl against Dallas. There was a poignant nobility in the way he kept fighting. To me, he became a perfect symbol for Buffalo – stubborn, proud and unrelenting.
No matter the circumstances, Kelly never gave in. Like the city he played for, he seemed to have a chip on his shoulder. He had a linebacker's mentality. When he got hit, he bounced right back up. When he threw an interception, he chased down the defender, as if avenging an insult.
"That's the only way he knew," Talley said, laughing. "If he threw a pick, he wanted to go down and tackle the guy. We told him, 'No, that's not your job. You throw the ball. We need you to stay healthy.' "
But he didn't listen. "No," Talley said. "He didn't."
This is Jim Kelly we're talking about here. He never backed down, never conceded an inch. That's one of the reasons he needed so many surgeries. People come to admire their sports heroes when they're young and strong and seemingly indestructible. We want them to be immortal for us.
Eventually, we face the fact that they become old and broken, all too human. When Kent Hull died at 50, it was jarring. Fifty isn't old, but when a former star athlete hits that number, you realize how much time has gone by.
Kelly is 53. It has been more than a quarter-century since he rode into town on the Kensington in a limousine, with Hull following behind in an equipment van. Hull is gone. Kelly's time as an NFL player is done, but his unyielding competitive soul is still very much alive.
The players from the Super Bowl teams have told me that, in retrospect, they felt a great sense of pride in getting there four times. They believe they showed something essential about the human spirit, something bigger than winning or losing a football game.
Kelly brought that quality to Buffalo. He passed it along to thousands of kids and adults, through his charitable works. I can feel all those people out there, a rousing and powerful force, rooting for him now.
Cancer has quite a battle on its hands.
Kelly never took a team like this into the big one before. This time, how can he lose?

An investigation into a fight call early Saturday morning in Dunkirk led to felony drug charges against three young people, after Dunkirk police seized suspected marijuana, along with crack and powder cocaine from a vehicle.
Police responding to the fight scene along South Beaver Street at about 2:30 a.m. spotted and seized the drugs from the vehicle being occupied by the three people in their early 20s.
Police charged Justin T. Schuk, 22; Jordyn P. Plaza, 22; and Fred Santiago, 24, all of Dunkirk, with felony marijuana possession and both felony and misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance, according to police reports.

As a Unit Commissioner in Minsi Trails Council, I think people don't realize that the local packs, troops or crews get any funding from the District, Council or National level. One of our favorite community service projects is Scouting for Food and the local response we get. We are working in conjunction with the Postal service to make it even better.
