This article originally appeared in the December 2006 issue of Drum Corps World (Volume 35, Number 15).
On October 19 and 20 at Auburn University in Alabama, a conference titled "Marching, Music, Medicine and Science" was convened to discuss the health evaluation and health maintenance of marching musicians.
Co-sponsors were the Auburn University College of Education, Department of Health and Human Performance, the College of Liberal Arts, Department of Bands, and the Cavalier Medical Group. Participants included drum corps medical personnel, marching band directors and teachers, and academics in the fields of physiology, biomechanics, kinesiology, psychology, athletic training and music education.
The conference came about when Auburn Professor David Pascoe, Ph.D., who is writing a book on the subject of the thermal physiology and regulation in marching band members, discovered the drum corps activity. He contacted DCI, who referred him to Craig Bales M.D., lead physician for the Cavaliers Medical Group.
Speakers discussed the unique requirements of marching performance, not only physical, but psychological, dietary and physiological. Specific topics included the need for off-season physical conditioning, evaluation of the physical and physiologic demands of practice and performance, problems with injury, the psychological profiles of performers and the environmental needs and controls which should be considered.
The program was chaired by Dr. Pascoe. The first day was split into two parts. The morning consisted of a series of presentations, first from the drum corps side. Dr. Bales led off the discussion by giving an overview of the drum and bugle corps activity for those who were unfamiliar with it. He described stresses the summer tour puts on marching members, volunteers, etc.
Tom Freeman, D.P.M., a Cavalier alumnus, spoke on The Cavaliers' experience with foot and ankle injuries and what has been done to prevent them. Becky Parker, M.D., a Trooper alumna and medical director of the Blue Stars, discussed the problems she has experienced in setting up a medical program for the Blue Stars and some of the solutions which have been found.
Dr. Rusty Logan, band director at Auburn High School and father of a Cavalier alumnus, posed several basic questions about dealing with the unique problems of managing students (and their parents) in the secondary school environment. Then came discussions on the "Relationships of Dietary History and Cardiovascular Health in University Marching Band Members" by Dr. Jill Bush of the University of Houston, presented in her absence by Andy Lorino, Dr. Bush's doctoral student; "Personality Predictors of Health and Well-Being in Musician Athletes" by Jake Levy, Ph.D., Cavalier alumnus and assistant professor of psychology at the University of Tennessee. [Publisher's note: Jake Levy's article on "Personalities of drum corps participants; development and use of the Drum Corps Personality Inventory" appeared in the November issue of Drum Corps World on page 4.]
Danielle Wadsworth, Ph.D., of Auburn, who is an Exercise Behaviorist, spoke on "Health Assessments and Band Members." Ramon Vasquez of the Auburn Trumpet Studio gave his observations on brass instrument performance in drum corps, based on his experience as both a marching member of Phantom Regiment and staff member for several corps.
Chad Abrams, A.T.C., an athletic trainer, gave his analysis of how a trainer could contribute to the prevention and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries. Wendi Weimar, Ph.D., Auburn University kinesiologist, enlightened and entertained us with her paper on "Biomechanical Analysis and Marching Bands."
Dr. Pascoe discussed his ongoing research into the problems of dealing with the fluctuations in body temperature which occur in marching musicians who must practice outside in varying climatic conditions.
The afternoon was spent in an informal setting in the "Eagle's Nest," a comfortably furnished room on top of the Education Department's building. After a buffet lunch, we spent the next several hours in free-form discussions about the problems which had been elucidated during the morning session. The interplay of disciplines and ideas was extremely stimulating.
During this session, Michael Davis, who retired from the directorship of Disney World's music activities, gave a demonstration of the products being promoted by the Institute of Health and Human Performance (IHHP). These items are being sold with the thought that they might help prevent injury by increasing the strength and flexibility of the performers.
The researchers among the attendees expressed interest in doing controlled trials with IHHP's equipment to see if it would hold up to the Institute's claims. [IHHP was featured in two articles on DCI's Web site during October, 2006. You can find those articles by typing "IHHP" into the search box on DCI's front page.]
On Saturday, conferees spent the day with the Auburn University Marching Band and that's their name. We were told they don't need to be called the "Marching Tigers" or anything of the sort. They are justifiably proud of what they are, a university marching band.
We started out by attending their morning rehearsal, on their own dedicated field. Practice started with sectionals, as each group gathered in a circle and warmed up under the direction of their section leader. This part broke up after 30 minutes or so when the trombone section, which I, as a reborn trombonist was observing, suddenly took off at a dead run, surrounded one of the auxiliary groups and played (very loudly) at them.
Because the game that day against Tulane University was homecoming and had several ceremonies integrated into pregame and halftime, the band did only a relatively short presentation, acting as accompaniment to the presentation of the football team's graduating seniors, who walked on with their parents before the kickoff, and the announcement of the homecoming queen at halftime.
The teaching methods for the morning practice were reminiscent of watching a drum corps staff do their thing: start, stop, do it over, with the usual comments, criticisms and commendations. Most impressive was the high-speed, high-stepping entry. Seeing more than 300 people doing that essentially perfectly impressed me, at least!
Auburn's football games are surrounded by huge traditions. We were guided by Dr. Pascoe and his folks to be at excellent vantage points for the hoorah that occurs outside of the stadium before the game. First on the schedule was "Tiger Walk." This involves the football team being delivered by bus to the top of a street near the stadium two hours before game time. They then walk between barricades down the middle of the street for a couple of blocks surrounded by cheering fans who reach out to shake their hands, trade high-fives and generally whoop it up.
Next, the band does what they call "Four Corners." They have been split into four more-or-less equal parts, each of which approaches a street intersection near the stadium from a different direction, playing all the while. When they all arrive, the drum major stands on a podium in the center of the intersection and directs them in several of Auburn's fight songs. The whole thing is very stirring, even for those of us who didn't know where Auburn was until we made our air reservations.
Once the band makes its way to the stadium, it does a full-band walk around the periphery, stopping to play several times for the rapidly filling stands. It then exits and prepares to re-enter for the pregame festivities.
Although the Auburn teams are called Tigers, one of their favored traditions is called "War Eagle." For the full ramifications of this, I'd suggest you plug the phrase into your favorite search engine . . . anyway, during the pregame, a falconer released a huge, beautiful Golden Eagle named "Tiger" from the upper reaches of the stadium.
She flew around the stadium and descended to another handler down on the field. It was a spectacular moment. To see a close-up of Tiger and photos of a few of the participants in the conference which were taken during our visit to Auburn, go to this website: http://good-times.webshots.com/album/555254810xVGRmm.
On Saturday evening, a dinner was held at the home of Dr. Rusty and Betsy Logan which allowed everyone involved, along with their wives and husbands, to socialize, watch football and generally enjoy each other's company.
The conference wound up with plans to meet again in five or six months. In the meantime, a full-day session on caring for the marching members of DCI corps will be held at the time of the DCI winter meeting in Atlanta in January 2007. It is hoped by all participants that these meetings will result in better care for marching musicians at all levels, from junior high to DCI.
Oh, yeah. Auburn won the football game, 38-13.

If you share your computer with other family members, office colleagues or friends- you might want to restrict them from changing Windows wallpapers and screensavers. This is because you may want to keep a permanent wallpaper and screensaver on your desktop and prevent other users from installing their own wallpapers, which might be distracting at times.
In this article, we will learn a Windows registry trick which prevents other users of the same computer to change Windows wallpapers and screensavers.
Here are the steps that needs to be done:
Note: You will be editing the Windows registry in this tip. if you are unsure of how to proceed, please consult a professional. You have been warned!!
1. Type regedit in Windows search box and hit the Enter key.
2. This will open the Windows Registry Editor. Click the File menu and choose Export
This will open a file dialog box where you can enter a name and save the current settings of Windows registry to a .reg file. You will need this registry backup, in case you want to revert to the earlier settings at a later point of time.
3. Switch back to the Registry Editor window and find the entry HKEY_CURRENT_USER in the left pane.
Click the small arrow to expand the entry and then navigate to the Software subkey.
4. Click the small arrow placed to the left of the Software subkey and navigate to the Microsoft subkey. Your goal is to find the following key down the left pane of the registry editor window:
5. When you have reached the end of the above path, the registry editor window will look like the following:
6. Now right click on the right pane of the Registry Editor window and select New > String Value.
7. Enter the name of the value as wallpaper. Double click the new string and edit the value data field, thus entering the location of the custom wallpaper you want to display.
Remember: You have to enter the correct path of the wallpaper stored somewhere on your hard drive. Do not ignore the extension of the image.
8. All done – you have just defined a permanent wallpaper on your system. Now other users won't be able to change wallpapers because this registry setting will override their display preferences.
Now it's time to define a permanent screensaver on your system which can't be changed by other users.
9. Switch back to the registry editor window, right click and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
10. Set the value name as NoDispScrSavPage and set the value of the data as 1.
11. You are all done, now close the registry editor window and restart the computer for the changes to take effect. The next time any other user reboots Windows, they will be greeted with your defined image as the desktop background. If other users try to change the wallpaper by right clicking on desktop and choosing Personalize > Change Desktop background, the action will be denied.
Should you want to revert the changes, simply double click the registry file backed up in step 2. This is a neat way to make sure that your desktop always has the same background image and no one else can change it with their own wallpapers.

The Tolerance Trap: How God, Genes, and Good Intentions are Sabotaging Gay Equality
04/18/14 15:30
Suzanna Walters, April 18th, 3:30 PM, John Dewey Lounge
Suzanna Walters is Director of Women's Gender and Sexuality Studies Program and Professor of Sociology at Northeastern University. Her book, The Tolerance Trap, explores how notions of tolerance limit the possibilities for real liberation and deep social belonging. Her previous book, All the Rage: The Story of Gay Visibility in America examined the explosion of gay visibility in culture and politics, raising questions about the politics of visibility and sexual identity. Sponsored by The Department of Sociology and the Gender, Sexuality, and Women Studies Program.
In Memoriam: Gordon F. Lewis, Professor of Sociology Emeritus
04/02/14 10:41
By Craig E Wells
The College of Arts and Sciences recently learned that Gordon F. Lewis, Ph.D., Professor of Sociology Emeritus at the University of Vermont, passed away on March 18, 2014.
Prof. Lewis was an active and beloved member of the faculty and community, serving as Chair of Sociology, President of UVM's Faculty Senate, as well as many other positions. Known for his charm, amiability, and commitments to progressive social change, he was a key and influential figure at UVM. He will be missed.
Born February 25, 1924, Gordon F. Lewis came from a modest background, growing up in New Jersey during the depression. Told by his mother that "poor boys can't go to college," he ignored her advice and enrolled in Rutgers University in 1942; by March of his freshman year he was drafted into the U.S. Army, serving as a 1st Sergeant in the Pacific theatre, posted to Okinawa. In 1946, he returned to Rutgers, where he discovered the field of sociology. After getting a Masters in Sociology at the University of Kentucky, he was offered a position teaching some courses there, whereupon he decided he wanted to make a career in academia and pursued a Ph.D. He taught at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, in 1960 moved to Elmira College in Elmira, New York, and a year later took a position at UVM, where he remained an active member of the faculty until retirement in 1988.
A memorial service to celebrate Gordon's life was held at 3 p.m. April 5, 2014, at Stephen C. Gregory and Son, 427 Meadowland Dive, Suite 7, in South Burlington. Condolences may be made online at www.gregorycremation.com

Professor Eleanor Miller Wins Fulbright to Study Drug Policy in Portugal
04/01/14 23:19
Eleanor Miller, professor of sociology and former dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, has been awarded a Fulbright research grant to study Portugal's shift from criminalizing drug use to a treatment-based model for supporting addicts. In the spring of 2015 Miller will be based in Lisbon at Universidade Nova's law school, Faculdade de Direito. In addition to her research she will be teaching an undergraduate course in inequality and crime and a graduate seminar in comparative drug policy. Over the past ten years, explains Miller, Portugal has, in a sense, decriminalized drugs, putting those found with less than a ten-day supply into a treatment program rather than into the prison system (though dealing drugs remains illegal). "I'm interested in what there is to learn from the Portuguese for our state," she says, noting Vermont's increasing problems with substance abuse. Portugal has not, Miller adds, become a tourist destination for those seeking drugs, as Amsterdam has. Miller, who has an expertise in sociology and gender, will be researching the effects of the policy on poor women in particular, as well as the broader societal impact of diverting public spending towards treatment. She expects to interview policy makers and government officials as well as private individuals. http://www.uvm.edu/~uvmpr/?Page=news&storyID=17918&category=uvmhome

What's so exciting about the inclusion of this technology is that along with the impressive quality screen, it's a true sign of the future. It is quite within the realms of possibility that this sort of device will be displacing pen and notepad in the very near future. Combined with a powerful note taking app, it could certainly make my job easier!
The addition of those touch sensitive buttons on the bezel hints at the fact this tablet doesn't, and won't, use the tablet-centric Android 3.0. Instead the demonstration unit was running Android 2.4, which is a very slightly tweaked version of 2.3 as found on all the new Android smartphones. While this does mean you miss out on some of the neater tablet-friendly interface tweaks of 3.0, and you won't be able to simply update the software as soon as the newest version of Android is released (you'll have to wait for HTC to apply all its tweaks), from what we saw, the functionality of the device hasn't been compromised - it's still a breeze to navigate around. You also still get various tablet optimised versions of certain apps, like the email reader so all that screen space is being used efficiently. What's more, you can actually use it to make calls if you like.
As well as the 3G powering the ability to make calls and get a data connection on the move, there's inbuilt Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Alternately a Wi-Fi only model will also be available.
Keeping the interface purring along nicely is a 1.5GHz Qualcomm processor. Just as we said with the HP Pre 3, this faster single core chip should actually be of more benefit to everyday use, than the dual-core versions now commonly on offer. The CPU is backed by a considerable 1GB of RAM, 32Gb of flash storage, as well as a microSD slot for adding even more storage.
All told, while we had our reservations about the Samsung Galaxy Tab taking a large phone approach to the tablet market, it ultimately only really fell down on performance, and from what we've seen the HTC Flyer won't suffer this problem. Add in the extra ability to doodle on the screen, the ample features, and more portable form factor and... we think we should probably not end with a pun about flying high or soaring into top top spot, so we'll just say it looks like it'll be a great buy if the price is right.

It was an excellent performance from Newcastle yesterday in London and Yohan Cabaye made a big difference on his return from suspension and got the vital first goal through another link up with his French International colleague Moussa Sissoko.
Alan Pardew entering Selhurst Park yesterday afternoon
And while Yohan is leading our Man of the Match poll, Alan Pardew has said he though there were better performances yesterday from some other Newcastle players.
This is what Alan Pardew has said today:
"I was honest with Yohan all the way. He respects that, but the bottom line is that he's a great character and had the X Factor for us today. You need that to stay at the top of the Premier League and he gives us that."
"I actually thought there were better players than him on the field. Fabricio Coloccini and Mathieu Debuchy were absolutely outstanding in their positions; Cheick Tiote as well."
"We have a team that believes in what it's doing. We are really professional. Nobody shirks from their responsibility. They all have confidence. There isn't anyone not doing their job."
"It is difficult to single out players because it was such a great team effort. It was a sweet feeling for me to come back to a club that I love to see my team play so well."
"All the stereotypes about French players are a nonsense. They were brilliant again for us today."
Coloccini had a great game at then back for Newcastle and is approaching his best form now for Newcastle at a good time, and Debuchy continues to pout in top class performances for Newcastle, and his defensive play has improved dramatically this month.
But a pleasing aspect of Newcastle's recent play is the team-work and as Alan says every player puts in a good shift for the side, and that's great to see.
Now to see Newcastle get all three points on Boxing Day against Stoke City.
Comments welcome.

7 no-fail baking substitutions that won't ruin your recipe
By Carolyn Malcoun, July 5, 2011 - 10:55am
I'm more of a cook than a baker. So while I have an arsenal of dried herbs and spices and savory condiments, my baking cupboard is slightly more bare. Since I don't keep tabs on what's in there, there have been times that I've realized that I'm missing a ingredient or two after I've already embarked on a baking project. While I have a grocery store less than a mile from my house, it's usually not worth the inconvenience to me to go get what I'm missing—especially when I have a perfectly good substitute in my kitchen already! Here are 7 no-fail baking substitutions you can make without ruining your recipes.
Must-Read: 20+ Easy Baking Substitutions Guide
Missing Ingredient: Buttermilk
What to substitute for buttermilk: If you don't keep buttermilk on hand, you have a couple of options. You can swap 1 cup nonfat or low-fat milk mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar for each cup of buttermilk. Or keep a can of nonfat buttermilk powder in your refrigerator—look for it in the baking aisle. Mix according to package directions. Plain yogurt also will work as a buttermilk substitute.
Recipes to Try: Buttermilk Biscuits and 19 More Ways to Use Extra Buttermilk
Missing Ingredient: Whole-Wheat Flour
What to substitute for whole-wheat flour: While we love the whole-grain properties of whole-wheat flours, if you run out while baking, you can substitute an equal amount of all-purpose flour.

24 Healthy Muffin and Quick Bread Recipes
Missing Ingredient: Sour Cream
What to substitute for sour cream: If you're out of sour cream (or don't normally buy it) but have plain yogurt in your fridge, you can swap it cup for cup.
Recipes to Try: 5-Ingredient Dip Recipes Perfect for Summer Parties
Missing Ingredient: Butter
What to substitute for butter: Whether you run out of butter or just want to make your favorite baking recipe healthier, here's a rule of thumb: Try substituting canola oil for up to half the butter in cakes or other baked goods. Replacing some of the butter with oil reduces the overall saturated fat in a recipe.
Missing Ingredient: Brown Sugar
What to substitute for brown sugar: Brown sugar has a nutty, caramelized flavor that is best mimicked by combining 1 cup of granulated sugar with 2 tablespoons molasses.
Missing Ingredient: Baking Powder
What to substitute for baking powder: You thought you had baking powder but you really had baking soda. (Why do their names have to be so similar?!?) Replace 1 teaspoon baking powder with 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar plus 1/4 teaspoon baking soda.
Missing Ingredient: Vanilla Beans
What to substitute for vanilla beans: If your eyes popped out of your head when you saw the price of vanilla beans, don't fret. You can substitute 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract for each vanilla bean.
What on-the-fly baking swap have you made that worked?

I thought it was very interesting how the word changed meaning from North America to Europe. If the adults had realized that the word was meant in a way that was not vulgar, would that have had an effect? They could have even explained how the word is different- It's nothing to get mad about, once it's explained that in France the word has a different meaning than in Canada, and so, the word can still be used in the context of the book. Skipping over the word because it isn't an acceptable word denies it the status that it has in another culture.
Kébek the beaver is a resourceful type with a big heart who really wants to help his little Indian friend, Nitou, in the French children's book La rivière sans retour. But in Chapter 4, as Nitou's canoe is swept away in the rapids, young readers learn that Kébek also swears like a sailor.
"Taberna-a-a-cle!" the beaver hollers, uttering a swear word that in Quebec is roughly as offensive as the f-word in English. The author of the book aimed at 6- and 7-year-olds helpfully includes a footnote explaining that tabernacle is a "Québécois word indicating surprise."
Surprise would be an understatement to describe the reaction of Caroline Montreuil when she came across the passage while reading the book recently to her 6-year-old son Justin at bedtime. She had borrowed it from the municipal library in the suburb of Sainte-Julie on Montreal's South Shore.

I used to drive by the restaurant every day on my way home from work. I'd been wanting to go there for ages. It's a really cute restaurant, stylishly decorated and typical Portland-hipster.
We were seated immediately and our waiter, named Michael, was a rockstar. I find that I'm really sensitive to bad service in restaurants and he was a very pleasant reminder that there ARE some good restaurants in Portland that have good service. He was upbeat and friendly and had excellent food and drink recommendations.
The waiter immediately brought warm, freshly made mini tortillas with salsa. They tasted like fresh corn and sun. The waiter recommended the special of the day and it was a winner: pork tamales with tomatillo sauce.
Amazing! The sauce was spicy too–like clear your sinuses spicy. It made me excited about our upcoming trip to Arizona. Mmm tamales…
The waiter's suggestion for my glass of wine was also a great one. Valserrano Rioja. It was full-bodied and bolder than what I would normally order but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Michael had a beer. When we go back I want to just order off their tapas menu. I love the idea of sampling several appetizers as a meal.
After the tortillas and tamales I wasn't as hungry as I was when I first walked in the door but I still ordered an entree. Luckily it wasn't oversized.
My dinner was GORDITAS RELLENAS: Stuffed tortillas, black beans, avocado, roasted Poblano chiles & cheese and pork.
Michael's dinner was: Grilled half chicken in achiote rub with Guajillo mole & braised greens (I think it was Kale).
My dinner was great. I LOVED the pork. (Shredded pork seems to be my new favorite thing to order at restaurants). I had a bite of Michael's chicken and it was perfectly prepared. He marveled at how the chicken also remained piping hot until the very last bite.
I was stuffed. Pleasantly so. The waiter returned with dessert menus and I said no…but Michael twisted my arm and we go dessert. 😉
Caramel Almond Ice Cream. Oh my god was it fantastic! Two seconds later….
I firmly believe that ice cream and/or Mexican food cures all that ails you. So does Chobani. Which was waiting for me when I got home.
I won a box from Erin recently and was so excited to see it arrived!
I can't wait to try the new flavors. I'm really excited about the pineapple. Today for my pre-swim snack I brought the Black Cherry. Yum!
Fat Kitty immediately declared it was his box.
I loved all the comments on yesterday's post about the Evergood sausages. I think it's hilarious that the guy chose to respond in such an unprofessional way…and Brie made a good point: who responds representing a company with a ton of ??? and !!! That's just tacky. Another friend of mine, who is a lawyer, said I should just respond with "Objection. Non-responsive." That cracked me up!
QUESTION: Do you have a three day weekend for the holiday? How are you going to spend it?

Ok, I'm sold, I totally am going to go there now.
"They tasted like fresh corn and sun." For some reason, this sentence made me giddily happy.
Man, that place looks DELICIOUS! I bought the Trader Joe's Gorditas and haven't tried them yet. One of the them has something like 9 WW Points, which I can totally fit in but that's still more than, say, a piece of pizza.
We have one of Chris' sisters in town. It's gorgeous and sunny today so they're up snowboarding. I had a super bland Halibut dish at Ivar's Salmon House last night. Good thing I'm not blogging it. I'm not sure I've ever had a dish that tasted so much like that absence of any flavor. I brought most of it home (it was $$$) so I'm sure it'll be much better when I doctor it up. Tomorrow we're going to Port Townsend and Sunday we're doing Seattle tourist stuff: Fremont Fair, Ride the Duck, etc. It's so fun playing tourist in your own town and gives you a little mini vacation.
Hope you get to go snowshoeing. Have a great weekend!
looks like a super yummy dinner. that conversation is oh so familiar, though i dont usually say the hormonal thing he just thinks that. that huge box of chobani looks amazing! and i love how fat kitty as soon as possible needs to be in that box, so cute.
I *lurve* tamales!
I didn't even know Monday was a holiday. LOL. I do not have it off.
I literally "LOLed" at the "Objection. Non-responsive." comment. Awesome!
I'm going out for Mexican tonight and am so excited! Unfortunately I have to work on Monday… boo!
Your food looks good! I do have a question about Chobani though. I love the Greek yogurt, and have bought all the different kinds. I've been trying to cut down on sugar, and noticed that the Greek yogurt seems to have a lot of grams of sugar. Is the sugar that's in Greek yogurt a healthy sugar? I know it's a trade-off with the protein and other nutrients. I've bought the plain kind and added fruit to it, but it just doesn't quite taste as good as the flavored kinds!
Sadly, I'll be working this weekend… 🙂 Enjoy the Chobani! I've actually never tried it… Let us know which one is your favorite flavor!

|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
Located in historic McCloud at the base of beautiful Mt. Shasta, our home easily accomodates a family get together. The master bedroom with a queen bed is located downstairs. A queen sofa sleeper is located in an extension of the living room. The upstairs is a large dorm room with two queens, two extra long twins and a cot if needed.
Bathrooms are located upstairs and down with showers only. There is a fully equipped kitchen and delightful sun room. During the summer we have a gazebo with table for outdoor dining and relaxing.
McCloud is located at the base of Mt. Shasta. It is within minutes of the Mt. Shasta Ski Bowl and McCloud Reservoir. Lassen National Park is about two hours to the south and Lava Beds National Monument is about two hours to the north. There are many fishing opportunities and wonderful nature hikes within a few miles. Shasta Lake is about 45 miles away and McCloud reservoir is about 10 miles away. McCloud Golf Course (9 holes)is about 5 minutes from our home, Mt. Shasta Resort (18 holes) is about 15 minutes and Lake Shastina (27 holes) and Fall River Golf course are within an hour's drive. Burney Falls is a 45 minute drive and Fowlers (three sets of falls) is less than 30 minutes away. The McCloud River is known for its excellent fishing opportunities.
Keywords: Single family home, upstairs dorm room, fenced yard, 2 car garage
We inherited this home from our parents who put years of love and improvements into it to make it a great place for family get togethers. Every holiday and summer vacation we (their two children) and our children would gather for good times in 'Meierhaus'.
We know it would be a comfortable home for you and yours.
Lou Meier purchased this house in 1968
McCloud has many outdoor activities. Hiking, skiing, fishing, golf, and sight seeing are all within minutes.
It isa perfect location to get away from it all and relax.
This was the perfect house to rent for a few nights vacation after a busy holiday season. My husband and I were looking for a place near the snow to take our kids and dog, and the McCloud house was the perfect solution. The house was clean, super comfortable, and totally stocked with games which for a game loving family like mine was a delightful treat. My kids got a super kick out of the automatic card shuffler and we all got in some rounds off the playstation. The yard was great for my dog and the neighborhood was quiet! There was plenty of space in the house for all of us to relax and unwind after a day of playing in the snow. The kitchen was fully stocked with all kinds of cooking utensils and the bedrooms were fully made up and ready to sleep in. My family and I are excited to have future vacations at this wonderful house! Thank you so much!
This McCloud house was perfect for a natural get-away. Located in a historic village, the house offers easy access to all the main fishing holes, Mt. Shasta views, and comfortable sleeping arrangements, especially for a group.
This home was PERFECT for our family. It was clean, well stocked with amenities, and well cared for. The woman overseeing the property was friendly, and very helpful. After flying across country to come to visit quaint McCloud and our grandparents, we felt instantly comfortable and at home. The beds were made for us, towels fresh and clean, kitchen stocked with cooking needs- just what these travelers needed!! The upstairs was perfect for our four children, and there was plenty of space for all. They enjoyed playing in the private fenced in backyard. If ever visiting again, we will most DEFINITELY be staying here. A home away from home!
We rented the house for a couple of days and found it excellent. It is ideally located to access the different waterfalls and mountains in the Mt.Shasta region. The interior of the house was well decorated and equipped with all the required amenities. 2 days were less to enjoy this house. Hope to be back soon. I would like to make special mention of Kelly who takes care of the house. She was very helpful and helped us out when one of our car batteries died.
We planned our trip in the last minute and found this amazing house. The owner was very responsive and very detailed and patient in answering my questions. We went there with my in-laws and they liked the place so much. Didn't feel like leaving the place.
This house can easily accommodate 20 people. We will definitely come back with a bigger crowd.
Very convient to fishing the McCloud and the Upper Sac.Very CLEAN! This house has everything you need. Just bring poles and clothes. LOVED the sunroom and back deck. Yard was sunny, private and had nice grass. Fenced yard was perfect for our dogs. Priced better than other McCloud properties.We feel we have found "our spot". The only thing lacking was internet access, but it is available at the coffee shop in town.We will be back.
lake and river fishing, waterfalls, golf, hunting
Burney Falls is within an hour. Three great golf courses within an hour. The town of Mt. Shasta is 12 miles away. Upper, lower and middle falls near Fowlers are about 10 miles away. Great hiking and fishing area.

RealtyTrac Launches New Features
Irvine-based RealtyTrac, the provider of online information about foreclosures, said today that it has launched new features which will help its users see how much equity, or negative equity, are in a foreclosure property. RealtyTrac--which is known for its data on the number of foreclosures in various cities--said it will provide estimated equity information for properties in the foreclosure process. That information is a key piece of information for potential investors or buyers of those properties. The firm said it hopes the information will help buyers and investors more quickly decide which properties are a good purchase opportunity.

A West Valley City mother Wednesday was accused of forcing her son smoke marijuana and drink alcohol and of simply watching while her friend poured Tabasco sauce on the teenager's face and eyes.
West Valley City police have arrested the 14-year-old boy's 38-year-old mother and a 33-year-old woman on suspicion of several felonies related to child endangerment and abuse, according to a probable cause statement released by the Salt Lake County jail.
The boy told police that during the course of the ongoing alleged abuse the women duct-taped his legs and arms so he couldn't move and then locked him in the basement for about 90 minutes.
When the boy dropped a glass pan on the ground when he was 12, police allege the mother's friend pushed him to the floor and injured him by dumping Tabasco sauce into his face and eyes, while the mother simply watched and never attempted to aid her child.
Police also claim the two women spent time in a camping trailer smoking marijuana. The two then decided they wanted the boy to smoke it, too, but when he refused, they held him and forced a glass pipe into his mouth and told him to inhale.
On another occasion, police said, the women were at home drinking alcohol and decided he should have some. When he said, no, they held him down and poured the alcohol over his face and mouth and pried his mouth open so it would go down his throat. The teen told police the alcohol burned going down.
The two women also watched movies of "naked kids doing stuff" while children were home, according to the probable cause statement. Police said the videos, involving people ages 15 to 30, were pornographic in nature.

|I was at a customer meeting the other day, and someone asked me if they could query WebSphere CloudBurst for an inventory of all of their virtual system deployments. This person was of course aware that he could go to the web console and very quickly view all of the virtual systems. What he wanted though was something that he could run to generate a report that contained all of this information. For a purpose like this, harnessing the WebSphere CloudBurst CLI is exactly the way to go.
|I thought I'd write a simple CLI script that provides an example of how you could do this.
|As a result of invoking this script using the CLI's batch mode, content is written to the file location supplied by the caller.
|I withheld IP addresses and host names above for obvious reasons, but if you ran the script against your environment you would see actual host name and IP address values. The script above is written once, and it can be subsequently run anytime you want an inventory of virtual systems running in your WebSphere CloudBurst cloud. There's other information available for virtual systems and virtual machines that I didn't show here, and you can retrieve it if necessary for your inventory report. In addition, I chose to print this information as regular text in a file supplied by the caller, but you might choose to generate the report in another format including XML, JSON, or anything else for that matter.

The recent recall of the hugely popular Bumbo baby seat is the latest mass recall causing a collective gasp among parents nationwide. These foam-rubber seats are perfect at propping up little baby bottoms, with just enough space for chubby legs to squeeze through, so they can sit up like bigger kids. Unlike many other baby products, they take up little space and can be easily moved throughout the house, so it's no surprise that they're a fixture on most baby shower registries. But apparently, they're not so perfect, as little ones have been hoisting themselves out of the seats, causing (a whole 100 reported!) injuries.
The Bumbo was a lifesaver with my second baby, as we had to keep him upright as much as possible due to reflux. The cute little seat allowed us to keep him off his back long before he could sit up, and he loved the new vantage point.
But with both of my kids, as soon as they got up enough strength, they could push and squirm their way, and ultimately pop themselves out of the seats. Once that was a viable threat, it was bye-bye Bumbo. I thought it somewhat of a product flaw, but just figured our use of the thing ran its course … like with most baby products, nothing lasts long, and before you know it you're on to the next piece of essential gear.
But apparently not everybody sees it that way, which brings us to yesterday's recall. Four million seats are being recalled because babies have been injured pushing themselves out of the seats. Now parents can send away for safety straps to harness babies in, if they get to it. More likely, many moms will "mourn the loss" of these things, and blacklist them as death traps, as is the common backlash of recalls.
But wait, people didn't know that it was possible for kids to eventually get out of these things? And people actually put kids in these seats on top of tables, counters, etc., and then LEFT THEM THERE ALONE?
Don't get me wrong, I think these safety belts are great—they'll surely extend the life of use for these seats for many parents (I SO wish I had one so we could have used the Bumbo longer!). But instead of just including the strap as a product improvement, the product was recalled, causing panic to ripple across the media, giving parents one more ominous danger to worry and obsess about. (And, thereby eliminating the accountability for parents who used them straight-up incorrectly: There is a warning on the side of the seat stating that it should be kept on the floor at all times.)
To me, using the seat in a safe way is just pure common sense. Are we going to start recalling cribs because some kids can eventually hoist themselves out of them? Or should we just start strapping them in at night?
This uber safety-conscious generation of parents is lucky with all of the safety gear to set our minds at ease (or, arguably, do the exact opposite) —baby gates, baby monitors, cabinet locks -- but it's still our job to be attentive. Let's be safe, but let's use our own common sense in the interest of maintaining some sanity.

I (Joanie) joined Catholic Match in March of 2009 in response to prompting
from my brother and his girlfriend (they are engaged now too!) who had
met on Catholic Match. I had never used any kind of online dating
service but I definitely wanted to find somebody who shared my Catholic
faith. I decided I had nothing to lose and a husband to potentially
gain, so I signed up for a month.
I remember commenting to my
sister after paying for that first month, gosh for this price I better
find a husband on here! Haha. It really wasn't that much. 🙂
few weeks into that month I had been on a few dates with one very nice
guy, but we didn't have the connection I was looking for. Then Martin
messaged me for the first time. I had mentioned in my profile that I
was involved in pro-life activism and I remember him commenting on that
in his first message to me and saying that he too was very dedicated to
the pro-life movement. That provided an instant bond.
his profile I learned that he came from a family of six children,
coming from a family of seven myself, I really liked that. He answered
yes to all of the "faith questions" which was essential to me. I also
found that he had listed "5+" as his preference for the number of
children to be had one day and I got very excited.
exchanging several messages and a few phone conversations we decided to
meet in person. I'm from the Detroit area and he lives in Dayton Ohio,
but he had planned to visit a college friend in Ann Arbor MI so we
decided to meet on that weekend in Ann Arbor (only about 30 min from
On that first date, May 9, 2009, I met a very
good-looking, friendly and fun guy who shared my faith, values and
goals for the future. It was almost too good to be true! I had never
been on a date like that. Before parting we discussed where we saw the
relationship heading, particularly given the three hour drive between
us. But we both felt we wanted to give it our best effort and find a
way to see eachother in spite of the long distance.
that first date we have seen eachother almost every weekend, taking
turns visiting back and forth. We fell in love quickly. In each other
we found everything we had ever hoped for and more. Without reservation
we both realized we had found "the one."
On October 16, 2009,
after dating for only five and a half months, Martin proposed to me in
the small Catholic relic chapel where his father had proposed to his
mother. I of course said yes and we have spent the last month sharing
the news with our friends and family and planning our wedding. The date
is set for Saturday April 10, 2010.

An avalanche warning was in place Sunday across the mountain ranges of northern and central Utah as the state's next storm system was expect to pass through.
In northern Utah, a 80 percent chance of rain and snow existed Sunday, even though temperatures were expected to peak at a balmy 56.
Little snow accumulation was expected in the valleys.
The biggest threat Sunday was expected to be extreme avalanche danger.
Backcountry travelers were being warned to avoid slopes steeper than 30 degrees and avalanche runoff areas.
The warning did not include ski areas or highways were avalanche control is routinely performed.

All Time Record Traffic Days At TransGriot
In conjunction with the post I wrote about the late feminist poet Adrienne Rich's transphobia, I had 9678 peeps surfing over on April 3 to check it out.
That obliterated the 8561 people I had checking out an August 27, 2009 post I wrote about Tenika Watson in the wake of Teddy Pendergrass' January 2010 death which was my previous one day record. .
The 7933 people I had surfing over to TransGriot on Wednesday is my third highest all time day in terms of one day traffic as well.
So thank you for coming over to read TransGriot and taking the time out of your busy day to read those posts and some of the over 5000 posts I have written on other subjects as well. It's deeply appreciated.

Lea Michele: Business in Brentwood
Giving a smile and a wave to the awaiting paparazzi, Lea Michele gleefully left a business meeting in Brentwood on Tuesday (December 4).
The "Glee" star looked adorable in a black sweater with black leggings and Ugg boots as she descended down the building's stairs.
Recently the 26-year-old actress spoke about her man and co-star Cory Monteith and gushed, "Canada makes some great dudes, and he's definitely one of them—just the nicest, sweetest guy in the world."
Miss Michele also opened up about her 12 tattoos, explaining, "But they're all very very very little."

text: Downton Abbey USA - Julian Fellowes writing American period drama The Gilded Age commissioned by NBC will be set in 19th century New York and follow the "princes of the American Renaissance" - but will it be a Downton prequel? Comments Written By Susanna Lazarus 10:53 AM, 28 November 2012 He has conquered the British period drama and now his sights are set on America. Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes has signed up to write and executive produce a new American period drama following the lives of wealthy New York society in the 19th century. The Gilded Age - a new commission by US network NBC - is described as, "an epic tale of the princes of the American Renaissance and the vast fortunes made - and spent - in late 19th century New York". So far, so Edith Wharton... "This was a vivid time with dizzying, brilliant ascents and calamitous falls," added Fellowes. "Of record-breaking ostentation and savage rivalry; a time when money was king." NBC said: "We at the network are all so thrilled to be working with the immensely talented Julian Fellowes, who is universally admired for his critically and commercially appealing productions." The Downton Abbey showrunner has made no secret of his interest in the wealthy American upper classes of the time - introducing American millionairess Martha Levinson, played by Shirley MacLaine, as the mother of Lady Cora at the start of his ITV drama's third series. Due to be set within Martha and Cora's lifetimes, it remains to be seen whether Fellowes' new show will act as a form of prequel to Downton Abbey, which has enjoyed enormous success worldwide, including America where it is shown on PBS. Fellowes' new period venture follows his television series Titanic, broadcast on ITV earlier this year to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 1912 disaster. But despite huge anticipation from both fans and media, the four-part series disappointed critics who met it with mixed reviews. Fellowes is certainly going to be busy in 2013 as it was announced last week that ITV had commissioned a fourth series of Downton Abbey. Details of this year's Christmas special - due to be broadcast on 25 December - were also revealed. Like this? Share it. Facebook Twitter Google Tumblr Pinterest Blogger Reddit VKontakt Print Email

My Sgt Fang arrived today. I spent about 4 hours dremelling and sanding. I won't post pictures, since I'm sure there are enough of those floating around. *grin* I'll update with some pics when I start the final snading and painting.
My Sgt Fang arrived today. I spent about 4 hours dremelling and sanding. I won't post pictures, since I'm sure there are enough of those floating around. *grin* I'll update with some pics when I start the final snading and painting.
Did you look like a slightly off-white snowman when you got done???
I've worked on a couple of Fang helmets and the resin dust gets crazy.
Now me, I wear coveralls and when i remove it, my hair has this distinguished white hair bit going...
Ok, here's an update. I orginally sanded and primered the helmet. I then put on a coat of Rustolem Chrome.
It sucked. It ran and bled and looked like ****. I then decided to sand it back down. This was not working; my mom (God bless mothers!) suggested paint thinner. I figured why not? The helmet came out like this:
Now, imagine if that resin underneath was silver. And the rest of the colours were what they were supposed to be. Looks like GREAT layered weathering to me. So, I need to find a metallic color that would a> go on well b> be resistant to the paint thinner and c> still look metallic.
Enter Rustoleum Metallic Silver paint. It's actual metal chips (somehow, don't ask me) and when I clear coat it with my super strength clear coat, it STILL LOOKS METAL! (wohoo!). My plan now is to use the metallic silver to coat the helmet (done):
The clear coat will be applied and then allowed to dry for several days. (I have already done tests with the silver paint and the clearcoat; the clearcoat will take the next layers of paint with no problem). Once the next layers are on, I'm going to use the thinner to "weather" out the helmet. More pics to follow next week!
I did my test samples today; I ended up having to use a combo of paint thinner and 400 grit sandpaper, but I'm pleased with the results. The helmet has been clearcoated and reprimed (for the grey bits on the helmet). Tomorrow I should be able to get at least two of the main helmet colours on. I'll post pics of that part when I get it finished.
What about adding the points to the cheeks instead of the fillet edge?
I thought about that. I did some research on the screen shots from the movie plus several helmets by different people. At glance, I don't think anyone would notice. On a close inspection, well, I like the rounded look more. So I'm going to stick with that. It also saves me from making one mistake too many while trying to sand it out.
Ok, I finished all the colored painting.
Then using paint thinner, rags and 400 grit sandpaper, I started the weathering. The lighting was not too good, but you'll get the idea.
I finished with a wetsand of 600 grit. I wanted to make the dent all silver, but I was starting to get through the silver so I backed off. As a note, this is not meant to be a complete copy of the movie damage; it was more a Fett feel due to the nature of taking off the paint. I've still got to add the decals and the visor. What do you guys think?
Well, this is what I started with:
And this is what I have:
I still have to do the interior, mounting the padding but I don't think that will be any harder than doing it for my TIE.
I couldn't have gotten this project off the ground without a lot of help from everyone here at TDH, with everything from parts to decals to help & advice. I would like to especially thank Superjedi, whose Sgt Fang tutorial was printed beside me through the weathering process, even if I did it completely differently *grin*, Scott from Delucks, who saved me a lot of heartache trying to paint straight lines, BKBT for the RF stalk, Sgt Fang for making the damn thing to begin with, and SL-4821. Bill's not a member of the TDH, but he's my local Vader, and the one person who convinced me it was finally time to start on Boba Fett.
If you want to see a whole bunch of photos from beginning to end, go to
and all my progress pics are there.
Thanks everyone!

Community barbecues: The fellowship of food
By MELANIE PLENDA
Special to The Union Leader | June 11. 2013 4:49PM
Londonderry Lions Club members Frank Holdsworth and Sherman Packard cook up plenty of burgers and hot dogs behind Londonderry High School Wednesday evening during a barbecue and concert for the town's senior citizens. (APRIL GUILMET PHOTO)
It's a good bet juice from a watermelon will dribble down a chin, the hot dogs will snap when bitten and faces like the food will fill picnickers with the feeling they've been here before and it was good.
"I think because it's outdoors, I think it's just a lot more relaxed, more than even a plain old church potluck, which we do that too," said Randy Thompson, pastor of Immanuel Community Church in Concord. "But there's something about when you eat outdoors that's just relaxing, informal, casual. And when you eat outdoors, someone will usually bring a croquet set or a badminton set, and not everyone plays, but some people do and it creates a more playful atmosphere I think than you have when you are indoors (at a potluck)."
"We don't have a philosophy about it particularly," Thompson joked. "But especially with cleanup afterwards, if you have bones, that can be problematic."
"It's just brown sugar, molasses, that kind of thing and navy beans, the little ones," Cady said.
Cold salads add a nice variety to the table. It's a great idea to stick with fresh veggies for both green and pasta salads. As for the pasta and potato salads, they can be as fancy or as simple as the cook likes. In Dublin, Cady said, one of the best contributions to this year's picnic was a very simple potato salad.
Though many salads are mayonnaise based, sometimes a little vinegar can be a picnic superstar. Insalata Di Rinforzo is one such salad, mixing cauliflower, carrots, fennel, peppers, olives and capers with red wine vinegar and oil, creating a sort of cool pickled veggie vibe.
"He has an old gasoline engine that makes ice cream," Cady said. "So he starts the engine and … it has a belt and the belt is hitched so it runs the churner."
Serves 6 to 8
1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
2 large carrots, peeled and cut into large slices
1 jar of peperoncini
2 stalks of celery
1 jar of roasted bell peppers
1/2 cup of pitted kalamata olives
1/4 cup of fresh parsley
1 bulb of fennel, chopped (see note)
2 tbsp of capers
1/2 cup of red wine vinegar
1/2 to 2/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Note: Green beans can be used instead of fennel ( or left it out altogether). You can also add raw red onion rings and raw red pepper instead of roasted.
Add the cauliflower florets, carrots, celery, fennel and cook until tender but still crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes, remove them from the boiling water and plunge into the ice water or just rinse under cold water in a colander.)
Add all remaining ingredients and toss together well. You can serve it immediately or cover it and place it in the fridge for a couple hours. Take out from the fridge 1 hour before you plan to serve it.
This macaroni salad is lighter on the mayonnaise than many.
1 box of elbow macaroni
1 jar of small green olives, chopped (reserve liquid)
1 med. onion, chopped
2/3 cup of mayonnaise
Salt and pepper to taste

FB Friends, Part 2: Miriam Gaenicke, the Schnitzel eating Indian adoptee
Picking up where we left off with Christina Seong, I give you my conversation with Indian adoptee Miriam Gaenicke. Again, like Christina, I've never met Miriam. However, she knows Schnitzel and that's the schiznit.
Land of Gazillion Adoptees: So, you run a blog called DesiFrau's World. Would you mind talking about it? What the heck is Desifrau?
Miriam: Desifrau is a combination of words, which represent my multi-faceted heritage. Historically, the British gave the Indians 'Desi' and 'Frau' is German for woman. Hence the term, 'DesiFrau.' You ask, 'Why German?' Simply stated, my parents possess German heritage, lived in Germany and my foster family were Germans. Ironically, German is my first language, followed by English, a little Spanish and Dutch. DesiFrau's World is the title of my blog. Truthfully speaking, I haven't contributed much lately to this blog, but it serves as a unique outlet to do some serious self-expression while being therapeutic. It was very challenging to begin, but once I started it became gradually easier. Thank you Pushpa for your endless support!
Land of Gazillion Adoptees: Wow, I would have never guessed the Desi/Frau thing. Very cool. So, according to your FB profile, you appear to be a foodie?
Miriam: My first love is food. Thanks, Kevin, for calling me a 'Foodie.' I have recently taken it to heart and it really defines me. Bottom line, I love eating and learned very quickly (9 years old) that I could eat my results. After my recent trip to the San Francisco Bay Area, it definitely proves to be true.
My culinary talents began when I was able to read the cake mix box and created my own chocolate birthday cake – not bad for a third grader! Reading and following instructions, creating the batter and having a supportive mom who put it in the oven for me were the components for my success. Needless to say, there was more cake batter on me than in the cake! It was fun and it turned out tasty.
As a small child, assisting my mom, cooking without a recipe, and creating gourmet meals from scratch inspired my love of great food. Most of the time we were successful. 'Burnt offerings' sometimes made for an interesting mealtime, but overall things were great and BAD recipes do exist.
There's also nothing better than visiting a restaurant and improving their specialties with your knowledge. By the age of 14, I knew how to make homemade pasta sauce and THE importance of spices (oregano, rosemary and basil) and tons of garlic. I knew first-hand the power of estimation and sampling. My palette has always been sophisticated and my mom says, "I came that way." How else would one explain ordering steak and lobster on one's tenth birthday?
Let's not forget my five years in the San Francisco Bay Area, my fabulous Aunt Eleanor and two years in Holland. International living really proves to expand my palette. Endless Spaetzle (German noodles), a love of European chocolate, and a fabulous Schnitzel all make for a delicious meal. Let's not forget online recipes which make cooking fun and easy.
Easily stated, delicious food makes for a delicious life.
Land of Gazillion Adoptees: Word to the Schnitzel. You shared with me awhile back what you would tell the 7 year version of yourself. Would you mind elaborating?
Miriam: I said, "Working Hard, Playing Hard" and "Life is tough and I WILL be successful." Within my life's context, both of these anecdotes are intertwined. My solid foundation stems from my educated, Lutheran and culturally aware parents. Therefore, I acquired my love of learning/reading and our increased emphasis on higher education. My parents DID NOT allow me to be or play dumb, which meant positively effectively USING my brain. Thus, I became an 'Achiever' and a 'Critical Thinker' with an industrious entrepreneurial spin. As a result, I am a business owner who 'works' so she can 'play.' Let's not forget my spunky personality, persistence and witty sense of humor! 🙂 All things considered, it makes for a unique combination of experiences and a FUN life! 🙂
Land of Gazillion Adoptees: Awesome. Thanks, Miriam. Chat with you on FB…

text: Please let it end. The Steelers pretty much own the Lions and a lot of other teams. Excellant football org. and remains competitive even without big money for signing FAs. Always a strong Dee and running game. Always deep at LB. We saw the Steelers whip the Bears with a good ground game. 21 to 9 at Pitt. This final score could be 42 to 3. But my Lions are still playing tough. I think they like DJ and like playing for him. If Joel plays he gets sacked 5 times and throws 3 Ints. It will take some special coaching just to stay in the game. 6 down linemen anyone?

A senior outfielder on the Saluki softball team, Dismore, a
Her 2008 season was abruptly altered during the team's first home tournament when she was hit by a pitch, suffering a serious jaw fracture. Her subsequent surgery sidelined the all-conference outfielder for six weeks. Despite the pain and difficulty of having her jaw wired shut, she attended all practices and games serving as her team's number one cheerleader and fan. Dismore re-joined the team following her recovery to finish out her senior season.
Dismore's positive attitude and unselfishness carried from the field to the community. As part of a team holiday caroling visit to the local hospital, she went above and beyond, shopping and purchasing toys for the pediatric patients at her own expense.
His transformation also affected his outlook on community service. As a member of SAAC, he was involved in the planning of Saluki Kids Night Out, a fundraiser benefitting The Boys and Girls Club of Carbondale.
To be eligible for consideration, nominees must be a member of an intercollegiate athletics team during the 2007-2008 academic year. Additionally, they must have demonstrated consistently the values of caring, fairness, civility, honesty, integrity and responsibility in their daily participation in athletics.
One female and one male student-athlete will be chosen for the award by the NCAA Committee on Sportsmanship and Ethical Conduct. The winners will be announced by the NCAA in July of 2008.
