In other words, stewardship in action. At Fort Knox, responsible stewardship is central to how we do business. It's not just about protecting land and water. Our philosophy of stewardship extends to the Fairbanks community and beyond. Stewardship is all about getting involved wherever and whenever we can. We buy locally, hire locally, we're active in charitable giving, and our people are involved with many of the non-profit groups that serve the community every day. And looking around, we know these charitable and volunteer efforts are making a difference. It's about living our values — that's the Kinross way.

Thank you for your continued support of all these people who have a vision of SHARING FOOD in the Ta nana Valley and who have volunteered their time to do the work! The Fairbanks Community Food Bank receives free food and gives it away free. The mission of the Food Bank is to collect local surplus food and give it to people who need it. We are primarily a volunteer agency and one-third of our volunteers are local students. In 2013 we collected and distributed over 2 million pounds of local surplus food using the labor provided by nearly 20,000 volunteer hours.
The 2014 Vision of the Board of Directors of the Food Bank:
• To have no one in the Tanana Valley die of starvation. • To have no child in the Tanana Valley go to bed hungry. • To provide food assistance to everyone who meets federal poverty guidelines.
Yes, these are our local military friends who marched out GIVE in the snow. They are constant supporters of this Food Bank. During the holiday season this year they did one food drive which brought in over 13,000 pounds. Thank you to all the people on Ft. Wainwright who worked so hard to make sure no one in the Tanana Valley goes to bed hungry.
Staff member Lacey Greenfield weighs in 463 pounds of food from Anne Wien Elementary School.

On September 6, 2007, Sam Kirstein, executive director of the Fairbanks Community Food Bank, wrote Fort Knox asking if the mine could donate a large rock to go in front of the food bank's warehouse. Fort Knox delivered that rock, and much more in the years since. Because, at Fort Knox, we believe in community support through local volunteer efforts like the food bank. Sam calls that rock "a symbol of how Fort Knox and the food bank today are partners in improving our community, and our volunteers are the 'rock' of the community."
Fort Knox
To us, stewardship means helping our neighbors and community, and protecting our land and water resources, too. Just recently, Fort Knox sent the Food Bank a cash donation to pay for warehouse floor improvements, prompting Sam to joke that Fort Knox now "is our rock and our foundation, too."
Our People. Our Community.
About her role at the food bank, Sam modestly says, "Good happens in the community, and I get to see it happen." We like to think that Sam is one of the many generous individuals in the community out there making good things happen — every day. And we're mighty glad she does.

Brent Budowsky: Lawrence Summers fought for the worst economic idea since FDR, repealing Glass-Steagall — a super-disastrous mistake.
Obama Must Lead
Brent Budowsky: There was no excuse for the president to shout from the rooftops about the dangers of sequester while not doing a thing to prevent it. Americans need jobs, not spin, and leaders, not photo ops.
President Obama: Please Raise My Taxes!
Ted Vaill: The Bush tax cuts decreased the top personal income tax rate from 39.6% to 35%. A hypothetical millionaire who had $1,000,000 in adjusted gross income in each of the past 10 years benefitted by over $200,000. It is time for payback. Do it.
The Terrible Economy and the Anti-Election of 2012
Robert Reich: The worst economy since the Great Depression and you might think at least one of the candidates would come up with a few big ideas for how to get us out of it. But you'd be wrong.
Thoughts on Tax Day 2012
Robert Reich: I worry about the well-financed big lies that the very rich are the nation's "job creators," that the benefits from tax cuts on the rich "trickle down" to everyone else.
5 Right-Wing Obstacles That Must Be Overcome
Joseph Palermo: These powerful right-wing political obstacles that must be sidelined if progressive change can have any chance of success, whether Obama is at the helm or any number of the string of future presidents he now tells us we'll probably need.
GOP Payroll Tax Disaster
Brent Budowsky: As President Obama and Democrats battle during this holiday season to enact a tax cut for the 99 percent of Americans who constitute the heart of the nation, House Republicans are making a seismic political blunder reminiscent of the self-destructive overreaching of then-Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Georgia) that rejuvenated the Clinton presidency during the 1990s.
EU 'Shocked and Awed' by GOP Primary Reality TV Show
Denis Campbell: Yet the entire GOP is deluded into thinking they will regain all three branches of government with a policy of tax cuts for the rich and ignoring the 99%?
Herman Cain No More
Steve Hochstadt: Palin and Cain are not foolish. They recognized that the elemental ideas of the Tea Party supporters could be exploited by slick slogans and political gimmicks.
REVISED: How to Avoid Being a Principled Republican on Taxes
Robert Reich: Republican leaders are trying to get rank-and-file Republicans to go along with an extended payroll tax holiday — but by paying for it without raising taxes on the very rich.
Flat Tax a Flat-Out Fraud
Robert Reich: All flat-tax proposals benefit the rich more than the poor for one simple reason: Today's tax code is still at least moderately progressive. The rich usually pay a higher percent of their incomes in income taxes than do the poor. A flat tax would eliminate that slight progressivity.
Obama's Bold Jobs Bill (Maybe)
Robert Reich: A bold jobs plan is also good politics. With more than 25 million Americans looking for full-time jobs, the wages of people with jobs falling, and an economy on the verge of a double dip, the President has to come out fighting on the side of average people.
Obama Needs Demand-Side Solutions
Robert Reich: Businesses are reluctant to spend more and create more jobs because there aren't enough consumers out there able and willing to buy what businesses have to sell.

These days, every grooming brand seems to take inspiration from heritage brands. But Imperial Industries is the rare company that was actually born out of all-American barbershops. The brand's founders have a collective 26 years of experience working in barbershops in New York and Los Angeles and created Imperial when they couldn't find products that satisfied their professional needs. The line's hardy formulas are high-quality and professional-grade, with a commitment to both performance and functionality.

A recently published study by U.S. Forest Service researchers evaluates potential revenues from harvesting standing timber killed by mountain pine beetle in the western United States. The study shows that while positive net revenues could be produced in West Coast and Northern Rockies states with active timber markets, the central Rocky Mountain states of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming -- which have the largest volume of standing dead timber -- would not generate positive net revenues by salvaging beetle-killed timber.
A mountain pine beetle epidemic in the western United States has left mountainsides covered with dead pines, especially lodgepole pine, with most of the timber and land affected on national forests. Policymakers and forest managers are considering increasing timber salvage rates on these lands as a way to address potential wildfire threat, hazards from falling trees, and visual impact, but first need to assess the broader economic ramifications of putting more timber on the market in areas where mills have closed and markets have waned over the two last decades.
Research Forester Jeff Prestemon and fellow scientists with the Forest Service Southern Research Station Forest Economics and Policy unit and with the Eastern Forest Environmental Threat Assessment Center were asked to evaluate the circumstances under which salvaging pine beetle-killed timber would be cost-effective. The researchers used an economic assessment model to estimate potential salvage volumes, costs and revenues from programs that would encourage salvage of standing dead timber, summarizing findings by state and owner groups.
"We carried out a set of multiyear simulations to produce an assessment of the net revenue impacts of salvage on national forests and other public and private lands in the 12 contiguous western U.S. states," says Prestemon. Net revenues are defined as revenues received at the mill gate less the costs of harvesting, transportation, and administration. The researchers also carried out a scenario that tested doubling the total mill capacity in Montana and Colorado -- two states heavily affected by the mountain pine beetle -- to evaluate the effects of efforts to encourage or subsidize higher rates of salvage in these states.
Findings from the assessment include:
"In short, our results show that places where timber product markets are strong are likely to have profitable salvage, while places where product markets are weak would need sizable public expenditures to achieve appreciable reductions in the amount of dead standing timber," says Prestemon. The study did not examine other factors that might influence land management decisions, such as fire risk reduction, improvement in stand conditions, or jobs.

Committee Charge and Membership
March 29, 2005
Present: Barbara J. Ford (Chair), Rajwant Chilana, David Griffiths, Cindy Ingold, Janice Pilch, Susan Schnuer, Dale Silver
Absent: Michael Palencia-Roth, John Santas, Caroline Szylowicz
Barbara Ford welcomed the members to the meeting. She asked that committee members whose terms are ending to let her know, if they are interested in renewing their term.
Information in the form of a handout was provided about the 15 th Mortenson Distinguished Lecture to be held this year on October 26, in 126 GSLIS. Susan Schnuer has met this year's lecturer and has been to his library. The lecturer, Dr. Jorge Orlando Melo Gonzalez, Director of the Department of Libraries and Fine Art at the Banco de la Republica and of the Luis Angel Arango Library, is a highly published writer. Barbara asked for assistance from Dale Silver, since the lecture is being held in GSLIS. Mr. Melo will be here for a week. He will also attend the Library History Conference at Allerton.
Ideas on how to better promote the lecture were offered: Dale Silver suggested that people from Latin American Studies be invited, and Susan suggested that it might be good to get publicity out into the community.
The 2006 Distinguished Lecturer has been selected; it is Alex Byrne, a University Librarian from Australia. He will be president of IFLA at the time of the 16 th Distinguished Lecture. He will be here for three days.
IFLA is working with the World Summit on the Information Society Conference in Tunis. Not a lot of information is available at this time. November 9, 10, 11 are the dates for the pre-conference, and the Summit is November 14 and 15.
IMLS Grant: "Thinking Outside the Borders: Library Leadership in a World Community."
A grant from Carnegie for nearly $500,000 for the next three years has been received.
First Leadership Retreat will be held this fall in order to bring together Mortenson Center Fall Associates with U.S. Librarians and to work across cultures. The schedule is still in draft stages.
Another module that is being explored is working on preservation with Tom Teper and with someone from OCLC, as well as working with vendors for licensing data bases.
Two leadership assessment tools (from Costa Rica and the U.S) will be used: Year one will include Illinois and international librarians, and year two will involve Nebraska, Arizona, Central America, Canada, Mexico.
African Grants: Pictures that were taken during the visit to Nigeria in February were shown. The small grant form MacArthur was used to look at four universities in Nigeria. The universities are doing their best in a very challenging environment. Susan and Barbara are now in the process of writing their report. After this report has been completed, they plan to write a follow-up grant proposal. At present, there are a lot of foundations working in Africa.
Susan and Barbara are returning in May with money from a Carnegie grant. Part of the grant money will be used to bring people to the Mortenson Center. All of the universities have major grants for revitalizing universities.
In July, Barbara and Susan will go to South Africa and finish the Mellon grant with the South African Library Leadership Program.
The Characteristics of Good University Libraries handout was well accepted during the recent trip to Nigeria. Comments and suggestions on the handout are welcomed. Barbara and Susan continue to work on things that can be put into people's hands as they travel. There is a fine line between being prescriptive and giving information which allows for more of a dialog. Whatever is done has to be sustainable. The primary goal of the handouts is that at the end, librarians are left with better skills and understanding.
It was suggested that the "Characteristics of Good University Libraries" handout be put on the Mortenson Center website.
Committee members were invited to come and speak (i.e., April 15, Reaching Forward Conference), and asked to talk about Mortenson Center and activities of the Center whenever appropriate. A suggested topic to talk about is the University Library and what a resource it is to have the Mortenson Center here.
On May 5, nine IFLA-OCLC fellows will be here The visitors will be at the Mortenson Center from 9:00 until 3:00, then they will visit GSLIS.
It was suggested that the newsletter should be numbered by issue. The newsletter is currently being sent to library and GSLIS list servs, and is put on the Mortenson Center website. It was suggested that it be a pdf file, but this is not a good idea because pdf files are too slow for other countries. It was also suggested that the logo be added to the newsletter.
Barbara and Susan are speaking at the April faculty meeting. The topic of the discussion will be "Evolution of Mortenson Projects in Africa."< /p>
Associates for Fall 2005 (so far) include two people from Vietnam, two from Japan, one from India, five from South Africa, and some from Colombia.
An outreach idea to let people know what the Mortenson Center is doing was that the Mortenson Center host an open house when the fall associates are here.

Re: World Wrestling Order 2010 - A Young Businessman's Big Dream
This looks as though it could be interesting. Now these last few names you listed, are those fictional workers you created? I was considering doing a btb with a mix of real workers and peppering in some fictional workers I created to cap off the roster and keep things from getting stale with the same characters always doing the same things. I'd be interested in seeing how it works out for you.

You can steer it using just your fingertips, whether you're in town or doing motorway speeds
It's hard to see past the pillars when parking but the driver's seat is comfy
You have to pay extra for curtain airbags but there are ISOFIX seat mountings for the kids
Skoda has built a great reputation for reliability, so you needn't lose any sleep
There's plenty of flexible space inside and the boot's a big one, too
The basic models have hardly any frills but upgrade and you can have climate control and parking sensors
If you're planning on filling your Roomster with people or cargo, avoid the weedy entry-level petrol engine and opt for one that's turbocharged. If your mileage is high, one of the beefier diesels will be your best bet as long as you can put up with the racket.
The Skoda grips well and the steering is reasonably accurate, but the low-speed ride is jittery and the tall body tips over through the corners. Scout models, with extra ground clearance, feel firmer and more top-heavy.
Hone your spatial awareness before boarding the Roomster (or get one with parking sensors): the windscreen pillars are chunky and it's hard to work out where the bonnet ends. The driver's seat and steering wheel adjust two ways, though, so at least you'll be criticising the designers in comfort.
The back seats are versatile and will recline, fold or detach altogether if required (they're heavy, so watch your back). Although fitting three across the back would be a squeeze, (the middle seat is very narrow), if you're moving four people you can take out the middle seat altogether and slide the two seats in to give them more shoulder room.
Entry-level Roomsters have electric front windows, a CD player and a socket for your MP3 player, but no remote door locking. That comes on SE models, along with air-conditioning, electric rear windows, parking sensors and a panoramic sunroof.
The Roomster didn't feature in the latest JD Power ownership satisfaction survey, but Skoda as a whole came second in the overall manufacturer league table, with most models proving dependable.
The Roomster scored the maximum five stars for adult protection, and four out of five for child protection in Euro NCAP crash tests: a good result. Six airbags and Isofix child seat points are standard but stability control costs extra across the range.
Prices are on a par with versatile supermini-based MPVs such as the Renault Modus and Nissan Note, but in terms of interior space and boot capacity the Roomster compares well with bigger cars such as the Renault Scenic compact-MPV. Big discounts and affordable running costs add to its appeal.

Thursday 13th May 1915- Diary of HV Reynolds
Thursday 13 May 2010 by Janice Farrer. No comments
Diary of an Anzac
Please note: Care has been taken to transcribe these entries without alteration to preserve the original language of Herbert Vincent Reynolds.
'Again the enemies artillery has been very active, besides the usual shrapnel* they have been sending over a lot of high explosive shells directing their attention mostly on our communications and stores, Things have been very quiet in the trenches during the last few days. Odd transports have been leaving the anchorage for the past week and at present there are only a few remaining off Anzac. We heard today that our submarine AE2 has been destroyed by the enemy in the sea of Marmora.'
*Shrapnel is the name given to small pieces of metal designed to spray out over the enemy from an artillery shell.
For the classroom: What is the purpose of putting shrapnel inside an artillery shell?

A publication of the Archaeological Institute of America
Visit www.archaeology.org/news for the latest archaeological headlines!
Friday, October 5
Police in Thailand working near the border with Cambodia recovered five ancient Khmer statues after pursuing a truck that refused to stop for a search. The statues, which are estimated to be between 1,200 and 2,000 years old, were found in sacks of fertilizer on the truck. The statues were reportedly going to be delivered to an investor in Bangkok who planned to sell them to tourists.
In London, archaeologists have uncovered two wooden stakes bearing metal cut marks that may have been part of a Bronze Age pathway. They were probably part of a network of timber pathways that had been constructed in the area to make traveling through the wetlands easier for hunters. This particular pathway runs along the planned route of a new tunnel and rail link.
Three sites in Spain's Pinilla del Valle could provide archaeologists with more information about Neanderthals. Excavations so far have uncovered stone tools, nine Neanderthal teeth from individuals that may have been eaten by hyenas, remains of fires, and fossils of aurochs, rhinoceros, and fallow deer. They've also found the burial of a small child and a piece of coal that will provide a sample for precise dating. "We are convinced that it was an intentional deposition of the girl's body; perhaps there were more burials at Neanderthal sites but they were not recognized as such," said Enrique Baquedano of the Regional Archaeology Museum in Madrid.
When did hominids learn to create fire, control it, and begin cooking? Some scientists argue that Homo erectus began cooking 1.8 million years ago, as evidenced by their smaller jaws and teeth, shorter intestinal tracts, and larger brains than their ancestors. Evidence of campfires has been found at Neanderthal sites dating to 400,000 years ago. But did these Neanderthals start those fires, or did they harness fires that started naturally? Others scientists think that only modern humans used fire, beginning just 12,000 years ago. "I suspect that genetics will help. If we can pin down the genes underlying the adaptation to cooked food, we may be able to date the control of fire close enough to settle the big question," said Dennis Sandgathe of Simon Fraser University.
