Nairobi, 30 August 2010 - Achim Steiner, the head of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), has donated a $70,000 international leadership prize to relief efforts in Pakistan following the devastating and on-going floods, it was announced today.
Mr. Steiner, who called on others to also assist the victims and support the humanitarian efforts in Pakistan, was awarded the 2010 Tällberg Foundation prize at a ceremony in Stockholm on Sunday evening for 'principled pragmatism' and 'leadership that walks the talk'.
The value of the award, whose previous winners include former Norwegian Prime Minister Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland, is 500,000 Swedish Krona or close to $70,000.
Mr. Steiner, who is also a UN Under-Secretary General, began his professional career working in the villages of Pakistan's Khyber-Pakhtoonkhwa Province.
He said he had "been deeply touched not only by the scale of the disaster but also the extraordinary efforts of local communities and organizations in mobilizing relief efforts while support from the international community was being deployed".
Mr Steiner announced to the audience that he would immediately transfer the funds to the Sarhad Rural Support Programme - a national NGO which has mobilised a vital flood relief and rehabilitation effort for the affected communities in the Khyber-Pakhtoonkhwa Province during the past weeks.
The funds will be deployed with a focus on rehabilitation and reconstruction projects for communities returning to rebuild their lives and livelihoods.
In his acceptance speech at the award ceremony Mr.Steiner called for a spirit of solidarity and generosity to assist the people of Pakistan at this time of crisis.
He also emphasized that while the immediate response and needs of people should be the focus of our attention the nature and scale of this disaster also provided a stark reminder of the need to address the causes and consequences of environmental change on our planet.
"The vulnerability of societies - particularly the poor - to the impacts of these change phenomena such as climate change and degradation of our ecological life support systems continues to grow," Mr Steiner emphasized.
"The world deserves better answers at a time when we have the knowledge and ability to make better choices for the future. No one can be left untouched by the looks of despair, confusion and fear in the eyes of trusting children being carried by their parents through flooded landscapes in the desperate search for a safe place. Our responsibility to reflect and act has never been greater.''
The Foundation described Mr Steiner as a "systems thinker and doer, integrating cultures, disciplines and sectors in the pursuit of a sustainable environment for all". They cited his leadership in launching UNEP's Green Economy Initiative as leaving indelible marks in international and national policy.
In a statement, the Tällberg Foundation said "Achim Steiner has shown an unusual capacity for listening to the needs and views of disparate communities, governments, business, academia, civil society and integrating these into policies which have frequently been implemented. His masterful leadership at the IUCN and the World Commission on Dams paved way for his nomination to lead UNEP."
Notes to Editors:

Previous winners include Gro Harlem Brundtland, former Director-General of the World Health Organisation, and former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan.
The Prize
The prize consists of a diploma and a contribution of 500 000 Swedish Kroner (SEK) to the recipient's charity of choice.
The contribution of 500 000 SEK is made possible by the generous support of Svenska PostkodLotteriet.

Matt Slaybaugh founded Available Light Theatre in 2006, and it has since become one of Columbus' most acclaimed theater companies. Slaybaugh talked about the creative collaboration that goes in to every production — including "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson," which opens Sept. 20.
The first part of our mission statement is that we're a fellowship of artists dedicated to building a more conscious and compassionate world by creating joyful and profound theater. The most important thing about that sentence is that the world is in the sentence before the theater. We're all people interested in contributing something to our community and making a positive dent in the universe. Theater just happens to be the way that we go about that when we're together.
We look for, and try to create, shows that ask the biggest, most difficult questions possible. That's the biggest theme that runs through them.
Pay what you want is real simple. It's just better when anybody can afford to see the shows. We all are people who grew up loving theater, wanting to go see shows, and even here in Columbus we couldn't get in the door because things were so expensive. Every show, we have people come up to us and say they're grateful for it, and that we've enabled them to take their family to see some art that maybe they wouldn't normally get to. We're proud to offer that unique thing to the community, and anybody who's seen the shows knows it hasn't prevented us from making the best theater around.
"Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson" — two bloodies, it's that bloody, that ridiculous — is the most outrageous, incorrect, inappropriate, wildest musical that you could possibly imagine. I've been describing it as "School House Rock" as performed by the Sex Pistols. And yet, it has an amazing amount of historical insight.
There are times when the show stops being like a play at all and becomes a rock concert for a few minutes. We're working on turning the space into something much more like a rock concert. We've changed the orientation of the audience and moved the stage closer and things like that. Part of that is because a lot of us in the theater group really want to be in rock bands, but we're not quite cool enough for that.
It's a really fast, witty show with a lot of inappropriate humor. It just gives no concession whatsoever to trying to keep things really pat and dry like a standard play. It mixes modern references with historical ones. People are not dressed up in period all the time. They look like rock stars more than historical figures, which is appropriate because it's about America's first great political rock star, Andrew Jackson. What's interesting about him now is that his legacy is really mired in controversy. Some believe he really is an American hero because he opened the West and doubled the size of America, and yet we also know he killed a lot of people to do that. Now we look back and say, maybe that wasn't the best way to go about it.

think there's any problem internally, unless, the board of directors just don't know the tech and wants a steve jobs.
A number of recent big departures of high-ranking executives in the high-tech industry were either caused by some types of scandals or were followed by them closely. However, this is not the case with the resignation of Dirk Meyer, chief executive officer of Advanced Micro Devices. Based on comments from a number of industrial sources, the board of directors at AMD was not exactly happy with the company's performance, decisions and Mr. Meyer's vision of the future.
"This action was not taken over financial, technology or execution issues," said Michael Silverman, a spokesperson for AMD.
Even though it is clear that the chief executive officer of AMD managed to transform the company significantly during the economic crisis and even managed to put the roadmap and product launches back on track, it looks like the board of directors was still not satisfied with his work, past decisions and visions of the future. A source with knowledge of the matter told X-bit labs that while the board generally satisfied with Mr. Meyers long-term vision of AMD's future, they considered that those plans needed to be altered, particularly in the mobile space. Apparently, there were disagreements, which, along with other things, lead to resignation of Dirk Meyer, a legend at Digital and AMD.
The lineup of chips for mobile devices has been AMD's Achille's heel for a long time, yet the team of Mr. Meyer and his predecessor Hector Ruiz only started to develop low-power x86 micro-architecture only in 2006 - 2007 timeframe, which is why AMD missed the emergence of netbook market in 2008 - 2009 (back then Mr. Meyer told that netbooks would die shortly). Due to the lack of low-power system-on-chip (SoC) design produced using a leading edge-process technology, the company cannot compete with its 9W Ontario on the market of tablets. At a recent investor conference the now former head of AMD told the audience that the tablet market was limited to Apple back then only to find out tens of slate PCs at the CES 2011. This situation clearly frustrated the board of directors, especially after numerous delays of Bulldozer, Fusion and other key product designs over the previous years.
Perhaps, AMD is not too substantially behind Intel with its low-power SoC offerings and they could be developed in relatively short timeframe. But it is clear that AMD is completely unable to compete with ARM-based SoCs on the tablet market and, to make the matters worse, on the market of smartphones, set-top-boxes and other devices which sales are going to increase dramatically in the following years. Partly, this happened because Mr. Meyer and Mr. Ruiz sold the ATI Imageon business unit to Qualcomm in early 2008 and ceased to develop AMD's own ARM-based offerings before that.
"While pleased with AMD's progress, the board felt the company has untapped potential in both its existing markets and particularly in new segments, given the rapidly changing market dynamics. The board believes that a change in leadership at this time can accelerate our ability to accomplish its objectives," said Mr. Silverman.
While the claim is politically correct, it is very clear that the board is particularly dissatisfied with Dirk Meyer's ability to foresee emergence of new technologies and new market demands. In addition, since Mr. Meyer is essentially an engineer, he is also not exactly keen on attracting attention to the company and its products, something that also increases market capitalization of any company.
"The key thing is that executives with engineering and/or finance career paths tend to make competent but dull CEOs, while those who get there via sales and marketing turn out to be better corporate representatives. During its Jerry Sanders period, AMD looked bigger than life, and bigger than the company's sales and technology justified. Over the past decade, AMD has grown in terms of its technology prowess, but few (other than geeks) have noticed," said Nathan Brookwood, the principal analyst at Insight 64.
Any new chief executive officer should not only be a better visionary than Mr. Meyer or Mr. Ruiz, but also should be more visible figure in the world of technology or, perhaps, not only technology.
"Based on my knowledge, the board of directors thinks AMD has more potential and needs a bigger CEO to help company realize it," said Jon Peddie, the principal analyst at Jon Peddie Research.
"Now that AMD has resolved many of the issues that plagued it in the past, the board is looking for someone who can help attract the attention of the other 98% of the population that doesn't live and breathe the technology business on a 24x7 basis," added Mr. Brookwood.

Event Details: Neuroscience Lecture Series: The Next Generation of Brain Imaging Studies for Neuropsychiatric Disorders and Their Real-World Relevance | Bradley Peterson, M.D., Columbia University
The Next Generation of Brain Imaging Studies for Neuropsychiatric Disorders and Their Real-World Relevance
Bradley Peterson, M.D.
Professor, Columbia University
Brain imaging is simply a tool, a technique. It does not provide scientifically privileged data, it alone cannot generate valid findings, and it cannot substitute for good study design. In most studies designs, imaging provides only correlational data and cannot inform us about the mechanisms of pathogenesis or treatment response. The next generation of imaging studies will increasingly yoke brain imaging to studies with designs that can provide greater causal inference for brain-based disease mechanisms and treatment responses, such as epidemiologicalstudies, longitudinal studies, high risk samples, and randomized clinical trials. Examples of each and their relevance to understanding disease mechanisms and informing real-world clinical care will be provided.
This event is part of the Neuroscience & Education program's

June 25, 2008. Posted by Stevan Smith.Add new comment | Filed under: Digital Life, grand theft auto, grand theft auto 4, grand theft auto video game, gta series, Jazz Alive, Jazz Community, jazz playlist, jazz radio station, jazz radio stations, jazz station, mature content, quality music, traditional jazz, video game series, virtual world
It seems like every month we hear a story about a jazz station switching formats for various reasons. Be it a lapse in listenership, funding, and/or general interest. Traditional Jazz, in particular, has slowly fallen off of the airwaves nationwide. Some stations have turned to such formats as Rock, Top 40, and News and Information, leaving a jazz enthusiast in these markets with nothing but their mp3 players, cds and vinyl.
Now, like the good "company man" I am, I would say that one can hear an exceptional jazz playlist at WBGO.org. But for some, there is no reason why such an influential American art form isn't available on a radio station in every town and city. I agree 100%. Unfortunately, politics and business tend to supersede our love for quality music. I just find it ironic that jazz radio stations are being abandoned in the "real world", while a jazz radio station was recently added to a "virtual world".
Huh?! Virtual world!?
Yes! The controversial, yet commercially successful, Grand Theft Auto video game series added a jazz radio station with its latest installment Grand Theft Auto 4. Now, this is by no means an endorsement of the video game and its mature content, but the irony is killing me. No pun intended.
The GTA series is probably more popular in the media for its violence, than it is for its immersive & often sarcastic world. The video game series, in recent years, has included radio stations that you turn on when you enter a vehicle, and you can listen to them as you drive around the games virtual city. These radio stations come equip with host, playlist, imaging, and even commercials. In the past, the formats largely consisted of Rock, Soul, Hip Hop, R&B, Talk, and even Classical. The series has gained much notoriety for its authentic soundtracks.
What makes this inclusion so interesting to me (and maybe you too), is the fact that it is a "traditional" jazz station - hosted by none other than jazz icon Roy Haynes! The station is titled JNR 108.5: Jazz Nation Radio. Their tag line is "Jazz from a time before it became elevator music." The playlist consists of such jazz legends as Art Blakey, Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, and Count Basie. Other notable djs in the game include Roy Ayers- host of Fusion FM- a jazz fusion station, and DJ Premiere- host of the old school hip hop station The Classics.
DJ : Roy Haynes
Genre : Jazz
Tracklist :* Count Basie - "April in Paris"
* John Coltrane - "Giant Steps"
* Chet Baker - "Let's Get Lost"
* Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers - "Moanin'"
* Miles Davis - "Move"
* Charlie Parker - "Night and Day"
* Roy Haynes - "Snap Crackle"
* Sonny Rollins - "St. Thomas"
* Duke Ellington - "Take the 'A' Train"
* Dizzy Gillespie - "Whisper Not (Big Band)"
This isn't a ploy to exploit an art form because it's scaling the billboard charts. This is respect. This is a declaration to the importance and validity of straight ahead jazz. This is a nod from a "video game company" that grossed a record breaking 500 million dollars in its first week of sales. This is, though unconventional, an exposure of traditional jazz music to a broader demographic than you could find in the real world.
Now I know some may say, "...well you still have to tune in to hear it". Well I believe that, like the dynamics of the video game...it's all about the choice. Keep Jazz alive in your "real world"! Support...

Stock Futures Point to Further Market Gains
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stock futures were pointing upward Tuesday, signaling that the S&P 500 will stay near record-high levels.
"While stocks are continuing to advance, the composition of the rally has started to change," Russ Koesterich, global chief investment strategist at New York-based BlackRock, said in a note. He said that large- and mega-cap stocks are now outperforming smaller-caps, "a trend we expect will continue."
Koesterich added that some of the more expensive defensive sectors of the market such as the utilities sector are underperforming, while the technology sector has experienced better results and still looks inexpensive.
"As we indicated, one of the reasons U.S. stocks have been performing so well recently is that the Federal Reserve remains extremely aggressive in terms of its easing programs."
Futures for the S&P 500 were rising 2.25 points, or 3.05 points above fair value, to 1,615.75. The index has climbed more than 13% so far this year, eclipsing last year's gains in just five months.
Market strategists surveyed by TheStreet generally lean towards further gains in stock markets even as they acknowledge scenarios for a developing bubble.
They attribute market gains to the unquenchable thirst for yield and central banks being eager to keep liquidity high as the main reason stocks are poised to keep moving higher. Opinions were mixed on the impact of corporate profits on the market direction.
Electronic Arts
Electronic Arts is expected by analysts on Tuesday to report after the close fiscal fourth-quarter profit of 57 cents a share on sales of $1.03 billion. Walt Disney is expected by Wall Street on Tuesday to post fiscal second-quarter earnings of 77 cents a share on revenue of $10.49 billion after the market close.
First Solar
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were gaining 34 points, or 34.11 points above fair value, to 14,940.

The main trouble is that in the wild it is impossible to kill a whale in a humane fashion."some restriction which has been passed — not just by a majority of the other nations in the commission, but by every other nation in the commission — all you have to do is to say, within 90 days, "I don't like it, I'm not going to obey it." And it is totally legal not to obey it. Japan didn't do that when the IWC passed the "zero quota" moratorium. Instead, Japan waited a couple of years and said it was going to continue it's "scientific research."
Our data showed chromium levels in whales only seen in workers who had occupational exposure."levels present in sperm whales were previously only seen in workers who have had long, occupational exposure — 20 years of being in some factory in which chromium is being used. One of the ideas that came from this and has gained some traction is the possibility that these animals are getting chromium from the air, from breathing it in.
A lot of people weep when they hear whales. And they can't even tell you why."world eat — as the principal source of animal protein — food from the sea. That means about a billion are in a position of getting these substances into their bodies and not being able to get rid of them.

March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month
MAYVILLE – In recognition of National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, Christine Schuyler, County Director of Health & Human Services, urges men and women over age 50 to get screened for colorectal cancer.
Colorectal cancer – cancer that begins in the colon or rectum – is one of the most common cancers among New Yorkers. It is estimated that one in 20 people will develop colorectal cancer during their lifetime.
"Each year in New York state, more than 10,000 people develop cancer of the colon and rectum, and nearly 3,500 New Yorkers die from this disease," Schuyler said.
However, a large number of New Yorkers are still not aware of their risk and many are not being screened at recommended intervals. Colorectal cancer often can be prevented. Regular screening can find precancerous polyps so they can be removed before they turn into cancer.
Colorectal cancer can affect anyone, men and women alike, but the risk increases with age. Approximately 60 percent of people newly diagnosed with cancer of the colon and rectum are age 65 and over.
Some people are at greater risk for the disease than others such as those with a personal or family history of colorectal cancer, history of intestinal polyps or inflammatory bowel disease, and people with a history of certain inherited diseases, such as familial adenomatous polyposis and hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer.
Colorectal cancer can be prevented or detected early through regular screening. New Yorkers can lower their risk of developing colorectal cancer by:
Getting screened: Begin regular screening at age 50. If you have a personal or family history of colorectal cancer or colorectal polyps, or a personal history of another cancer or inflammatory bowel disease, talk to your health care provider about getting screened before age 50.
Eating healthy: Enjoy a low-fat diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains from breads, cereals, nuts, and beans. Eat foods with folate, such as green, leafy vegetables. A daily multivitamin containing 0.4mg of folic acid may also be helpful.
Kicking the habit: If you use tobacco, quit. If you don't use tobacco, don't start.
Skipping alcohol: If you use alcohol, drink only in moderation. Alcohol and tobacco in combination are linked to colorectal cancer and other gastrointestinal cancers.
Getting moving: Exercise for at least 20 minutes three to four days each week. Moderate exercise such as walking, gardening, or climbing may help reduce your risk for colorectal cancer.
"Talking with your healthcare provider about screening is vital to preventing colorectal cancer," stressed Schuyler. "Colorectal cancer is easily treated and often curable when detected early. The tests are often covered by Medicare, Medicaid and many health insurers."
The Chautauqua County Cancer Services program will be distributing free at home colon cancer test kits to individuals without health insurance at various Tops Markets locations during the month of March. Information on early detection and prevention tips will also be available.
For dates and locations of the Tops promotion visit: www.facebook.com/cancerservicesprogram or www.topsmarkets.com/Departments/Pharmacy.
Men and women who are uninsured or underinsured should contact their local Cancer Services Program partnership to find out how to get free colorectal cancer screening sent to their home.
Call 1-866-442-CANCER (2262) to find the cancer screening program near you. For more information about the Cancer Services Program, visit www.nyhealth.gov/cancerservicesprogram.

Topic: Provide a service and Develop applications with Ajax
Hi there.
I'm thinking in developing a comercial online application
to provide a service instead of doing a desktop software.
But i would like to know how to do it...
The database will have many tables; so i would have a separate
database and rails application directory for each client?
How to develop an application like Basecamp or so?
Another doubt is about develop applications with Ajax:
How could i develop an application in the "normal way"
and that as, at the same time, suport to AJAX for every action?
PS: Sorry for my english

You can write a binary large object (BLOB) to a database as either binary or character data, depending on the type of field at your data source. To write a BLOB value to your database, issue the appropriate INSERT or UPDATE statement and pass the BLOB value as an input parameter. If your BLOB is stored as text, such as a SQL Server text field, you can pass the BLOB as a string parameter. If the BLOB is stored in binary format, such as a SQL Server image field, you can pass an array of type byte as a binary parameter.
The following code example adds employee information to the Employees table in the DEMODB database. A photo of the employee is read from a file and added to the Photo field in the table, which is an image field.
You need to using CREATE TABLE statement to create a table, the table name is Employees. The SQL statement:
create table Employees(photo BLOB, id int);
using CUBRID.Data.CUBRIDClient; namespace BLOBExample { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { CUBRIDConnectionStringBuilder sb = new CUBRIDConnectionStringBuilder("localhost", "demodb", "public", "", "33000", true); using (CUBRIDConnection conn = new CUBRIDConnection(sb.GetConnectionString())) { conn.Open(); string sql = "insert into Employees (Photo) values(?)"; using (CUBRIDCommand cmd = new CUBRIDCommand(sql, conn)) { CUBRIDBlob Blob = new CUBRIDBlob(conn); byte[] bytes; BinaryReader _reader = new BinaryReader(File.Open(@".\John.jpg", FileMode.Open)); int length = (int)_reader.BaseStream.Length; bytes = _reader.ReadBytes(length); Blob.setBytes(1, bytes); CUBRIDParameter param = new CUBRIDParameter(); param.ParameterName = "?"; param.CUBRIDDataType = CUBRIDDataType.CCI_U_TYPE_BLOB; param.DbType = DbType.Binary; param.Value = Blob; cmd.Parameters.Add(param); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); } conn.Close(); } } } }

Topic: How much RAM should I Allocate for Rails?
I'm bringing up a new dedicated server that I'll use to host a few sites. None are really high volume, intense sites. Right now I'm pondering whether I can stay with 512MB or RAM or if I need to go to 1GB. The php sites as well as MySQL are doing just fine with 512. I've been playing with rails though, and plan on hosting one or two rails apps. They will be low volume in terms of activity and I plan on probably using mongrel behind Apache since I already have Apache running to serve the php pages and it's what I'm familiar with. Anyway, how much of a memory hit am I going to take with using Mongrel to host the web app? Is it going to be a major memory hog for only 1, maybe 2 sites with very low activity?

Power couple Steve and Kara Ross—he's the CEO of the Related Companies and owns the Miami Dolphins; she's a jeweler and accessories designer—combine their creative and entrepreneurial talents when conceptualizing a dinner party. After crafting a winning guest list, they focus on the details: mixing and matching layers of color and texture, incorporating found objects and serving healthful food, such as this tricolor salad with avocado, Gorgonzola, Kalamata olives, greens, strawberries and pecans.
The recipe is featured in Palm Beach Entertaining, a beautiful coffee table book released in September by Rizzoli. All proceeds from book sales benefit the Children's Home Society of Florida.
Tricolor Salad
The key to perfecting this salad is to cut all the ingredients to even, bite-sized pieces; it just adds to the visual impact. You can also assemble the salad in individual 3-inch round molds for an impressive presentation.
Serves 6
- 1 cup peeled, diced seedless cucumber
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 5 large strawberries, hulled and diced
- ½ cup kalamata olives, halved and pitted
- 1 whole avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded, and diced
- Raspberry Vinaigrette (recipe follows)
- 5 to 6 ounces arugula or mixed greens
- ½ cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- ½ cup caramelized pecan halves
In a large bowl, toss together the cucumber, tomatoes, strawberries, olives, avocado, and yellow pepper. Dress with ¾ cup of raspberry vinaigrette.
In a medium bowl, toss the arugula with the remaining ¼ cup of vinaigrette.
To serve, divide the arugula among 6 plates, top with the vegetable and fruit mixture, and garnish with the cheese and pecans.
Raspberry Vinaigrette
Makes 3 cups
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ cup raspberry vinegar
- 1 pint raspberries
- Juice of 4 small lemons (about ¾ cup)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
In a blender, combine the olive oil, vinegar, raspberries, and lemon juice and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Chill for at least one hour before serving; it will keep overnight. Leftover dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For a casual lunch, use it to create a fruity spinach salad topped with walnuts and fresh raspberries.

Senior Night success
Dimary Maisonet made sure her Senior Night would be a memorable one as she lifted the Dunkirk Lady Marauders (9-3, 12-5) to a convincing 70-43 victory over Allegany-Limestone on Monday in CCAA Division 1 girls high school basketball.
The senior scored 16 points to lead the way as Dunkirk clinched second place behind Olean in the division.
"She really stepped up tonight and played the game of her career," Dunkirk coach Sarah Bogardus said. "We came out flat in the beginning and she came out and kept us going in all four quarters She really stepped up and kept us ahead. She picked the right game to do it. She played such great pressure man-to-man defense on their point guard. She made it tough and that forced turnovers and got us into the flow offensively and got us some fast-break chances."
The Lady Marauders took an 18-9 first-quarter lead and ballooned it to 30-18 at halftime. In the second half, the home team outscored the Lady Gators, 40-27.
Senior Khee Nance led all scorers with 23 points and pulled down 10 rebounds with two assists and five steals. Fellow senior Lacey Clark contributed with 12 points, five rebounds, two assists and a block. Meanwhile, senior Joyce Bomasuto did not find the score sheet, but played stellar defense, according to Bogardus.
"This is a team that lost to Allegany-Limestone the first time around and they were hungry and ready to get them for Senior Night," Bogardus said.
"All four contributed so much. Joyce, it doesn't show in the stat sheet, but she plays such great defense and thats huge for us. Khee and Lacy played a great all-around game. These four girls have just played so awesome this past year and they are the reason Dunkirk girls basketball has been successful the past couple years. They are great girls on and off the court. I feel so lucky to have this season with them. They have been committed to learning basketball the last four years and they have developed so much from their freshmen year to now."
Rachael Rosas added seven points, three rebounds, three assists and two steals for the winners.
Brandy Fuller led the Lady Gators with 10 points while Allison Watson and Mariah Monroe each pulled down seven rebounds in a losing effort.
The Lady Marauders return to action Friday when they travel to McKinley.

Qimonda, a struggling maker of dynamic random access memory, still has not found an investor, who would make a bid for the company. In case the insolvency administration does not find an investor by the end of the month, Qimonda may be liquidated.
"According to what we have heard from Mr. Jaffé, no investor has showed substantial interest in Qimonda," a participant of a meeting between insolvency administrator Michael Jaffé and the remaining staff in Dresden and Munich told EETimes web-site.
Mr. Jaffé reportedly said that he had asked potential investors to substantiate their interest by end of May at the latest. In case no bids placed, the administrator will be forced to proceed with insolvency procedures, which means that the liquidation is becoming a very likely outcome.
Sources familiar with the proceedings reportedly indicated that so far serious interests has not been expressed in Qimonda as a DRAM manufacturer, but only in parts of the company, such as intellectual property or specific parts of the equipment.
At present Qimonda's fab in Germany is in stand-by mode, however, this also costs additional money and creditors of the company are unlikely to continue waiting for an investor while the asset becomes less and less attractive.
Qimonda's termination of OEM outsourcing from Inotera and Winbond and shut down the U.S. facility has resulted in the huge market share drop. Market share of the Germany-based DRAM vendor in Q1 was merely 4.7%, according to DRAMeXchange market tracker.

To promote Sonic's Aug. 29 opening, the first 100 customers that morning will receive free combo meals for one year.
Darchuk said she's not worried that the restaurant might be overrun with customers seeking a year's worth of free meals.
"That's our goal, but we have a traffic plan, so we should be all right," Darchuk said
I'm sure the McD's, BK, Wendy's, and T. Bell in that area are excited about this opening.

He's a seventeen-year-old British computer hacker who penetrated the security systems at Fort Knox for a laugh. But the American government was less than amused. Since his prank, gold bars have been landing in the hands of terrorists across the globe. Now, Carl has found himself in a military prison deep in the Arctic and far off the grid. He's been caged alongside the world's most notorious terrorists, with no one to trust and no end in sight. Carl Hobbes may not be a criminal mastermind, but if he wants to escape this subzero prison with his life, he'll have to start thinking like one.
Join us on Thursday, November 8th at 6pm in the Teen Area for pizza and a discussion of Icecore by Matt Whyman. We'll also be choosing our book for December. Grades 7-9.

Eagle Update: Second Semester
We have all turned our calendars to February in hopes of putting the brutally cold month of January behind us. For school, this also means that we have begun our second half of the academic year.
Our elementary teachers have completed mid-year assessments of their students and are communicating with parents the results. Throughout the year teachers do benchmarking, a way of assessing individual student growth on specific learning outcomes. The high school teachers completed finals for first semester in January and began second semester courses a few weeks ago.
Our staff is working on program planning for the next school year. All of us need to evaluate where we are, what needs to be done and what options there are to accomplish our mission. Evaluating our programs allows us to look at results, identify strengths and weaknesses and then adjust what we do to meet our students' needs.
Our district facility task force will meet next week for the third time. In our meetings, we have reviewed staff input, looked at state guidelines for space, discussed community needs, reviewed future programming options and discussed what our needs are for the future. Our architects and engineers have presented options based off of the first two meetings. Our work now focuses on fine-tuning what we think our district and community needs are, examine the tax impact of the different options and discuss how to get feedback from our community and staff.
I personally want to wish Scott Hogen the very best as he leaves New Ulm to become the Facility Manager for Mankato Schools. Scott has provided leadership, expertise and dedication to New Ulm since he started. His vision has always been to do what is right so our students have the best learning environment. He is respected and admired by so many. We wish you well in your new position.
Les Koppendrayer is the interim principal at Washington Elementary. He has had this position for the past two years. Les will be done at the end of this school year as he re-retires from education. New Ulm Schools has been fortunate to have Les at the helm of Washington to guide the staff and students. We are in the process to replace Les and find a highly qualified candidate who can provide the leadership, expertise and vision for Washington Elementary. A group of staff, parents, board members and administrators will be involved with the interviews and final recommendations to the school board.
Go Eagles!

Item # UWKIT
Save $30 when you buy the Ultimate Woodworking Sharpening Kit versus purchasing these stones separately PLUS Get Free Shipping
This woodworking sharpening kit will serve as a complete sharpening system for many years. We've found this to be the ultimate combination for keeping chisels and plane blades sharp. This kit contains the ultimate matched set of stones. The grits progress nicely from one grit to the next to speed up the process of sharpening. Since all the stones use water, the cleanup is fast and easy. In addition, the diamond stone is flat and stays flat. It also allows you to easily maintain a flat surface on the softer water stones.
The coarsest stone in the kit, the Coarse/Extra-Coarse 10" x 4" DMT Diamond stone, is 40 square inches in area, making it more than three times the surface of a traditional 6" x 2" stone. It is so big, you feel like you are sharpening using the deck of an aircraft carrier. The extra size is an advantage as the larger surface promotes faster sharpening. This coarse/extra coarse two-sided stone provides an aggressive cutting surface, and for anyone who's sharpened a chisel or plane blade knows, speed is important.
The second coarsest stone in the set is the Norton 1000 Water Stone. This stone is a real workhorse. Unless you're starting with a very dull tool or one with a chip, this will be the stone you'll start with. This is a good sized water stone and it cuts smoothly and quickly. After a short while on this stone, your tool will be ready for the next stone.
The Norton 4000/8000 Water Stone is a superb stone to finish off your tool. After establishing the edge on the coarser stones, the 4000 surface followed by the 8000 surface will put a shine on the edge that will slice through wood with ease. This level of sharpness is something that can only be achieved with very fine abrasives.
