U.S. Olympic Training Centers Receive Multimillion-Dollar Technology Upgrade From AT&T
Program Delivers High-Tech Tools to Give U.S. Olympic
Athletes Competitive Edge On and Off the Field
U.S. Olympic Hopefuls to Be on Hand Today as First
AT&T Athlete Connections Center Opens
San Antonio, Texas, March 8, 2007
The United States Olympic Committee and U.S. Olympic Team sponsor AT&T (NYSE:T) announced today a multimillion-dollar program to provide a major technology upgrade to U.S. Olympic Training Centers, giving athletes, coaches, medical personnel and staff access to world-class communications technology.
From the implementation of a wireline and wireless infrastructure to long distance and data services, AT&T is providing the tools to enhance and support athlete training at the three primary U.S. Olympic Training Centers (OTCs), in Chula Vista, California; Lake Placid, New York; and Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The AT&T U.S. Olympic Training Center Program will enable coaches and athletes to transfer video files quickly and easily via AT&T services in dorm rooms, gyms, and on playing fields. The infrastructure will also enable distance e-learning capabilities for athletes pursuing academic degrees. AT&T is providing America's athletes with the best technology services to help them achieve competitive excellence on the "Road to Beijing"™ and beyond.
Additionally, the U.S. Olympic Team sponsor is building and equipping AT&T Athlete Connections Centers at each OTC. These centers also will provide a place for athletes to enjoy state-of-the-art AT&T entertainment and communications services in a fun environment, which is an important part of the rest and relaxation portion of their training programs.
The first AT&T Athlete Connections Center will open today in Chula Vista and will feature Wi-Fi, wireless services, AT&T | DISH Satellite Network service, and AT&T Yahoo!® High Speed Internet service, which enables convenient, fast and reliable access to e-mail services and online gaming. The opening of the center marks the completion of Phase 1 of AT&T's multi-phased, $3 million program that will continue to have impact through the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China and beyond.
"From the outset of this program, we gathered input from everyone involved — athletes, coaches and staff — to find out how AT&T could best serve the U.S. Olympic effort," said Karen Jennings, senior executive vice president-Advertising and Corporate Communications for AT&T. "By providing the communications services they need to train at the highest levels, keeping them connected both on and off the field, and by giving them entertainment resources during their rest and relaxation periods, AT&T will help the U.S. Olympic Team athletes be even better-positioned to compete."
AT&T will continue to provide the U.S. Olympic Committee with products and services to help ensure that its business needs are met. The following services have proved to be invaluable in the USOC's daily operations:
- OneNet® is an integrated long distance, data service, and audio/video conferencing portfolio that allows Team USA and the USOC to quickly and easily "call a meeting" from virtually anywhere via telephone, Web, or video
- VPN Tunneling Service Remote Access provides the USOC with the ability to access its network off-site securely anytime, anywhere (of particular importance for staff, coaches and athletes who travel extensively for various competitions)
- Wireless communications — including international coverage — for mobile phones, PDAs, and other devices.
In the near future, AT&T will complete additional phases of its program and further enhance these USOC services with a very high bandwidth circuit. The circuit will provide reliable connectivity for high-volume traffic, increasing the overall bandwidth of the USOC's network for faster flow of voice, data, and video communications.
"We are excited to continue our relationship with AT&T as we prepare for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China," said Jim Scherr, United States Olympic Committee Chief Executive Officer. "The AT&T solutions installed at our U.S. Olympic Training Centers are not only providing athletes with the tools to improve training and school work but also keeping them connected to family and friends, a critical component to ensure that athletes stay motivated throughout long months of training."
More than 230 athletes will celebrate the grand opening of the first AT&T Athlete Connection Center with a special event for athletes and guests. Musical act Angels & Airwaves, fronted by Tom DeLonge of multi platinum artist blink-182, will provide the evening's entertainment. An archived version of the concert also will be online via AT&T's blue room Web site, at www.attblueroom.com/teamusa, beginning March 11, 2007.
AT&T is an official partner of the U.S. Olympic Team, providing significant financial support, products and services to America's athletes. AT&T will serve as the official telecommunications services partner of the U.S. Olympic Team for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China.

Each Spring, The New Jersey Foster Grandparent hosts a Recognition Event to thank and highlight the achievements of its senior volunteers. The event, hosted at Stockton Seaview Hotel & Golf Resort, recognized volunteers with various service awards congratulating them for one to 28 years of service, engaging children with special or exceptional needs in Pre-K to 12, and after school settings.
More Information
On March 7, 2016, the Corporation released a blog post entitled, Mrs. Reagan's Legacy of Supporting Foster Grandparents, by Wendy Spencer. Below is the blog post that is on the CNCS Official Blog
Yesterday we learned of the passing of one of our nation's most prominent supporters of Senior Corps Foster Grandparents, former First Lady Nancy Reagan. We join the nation in mourning one of the brightest lights to ever shine beside a president at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
As the tributes to Mrs. Reagan's life continue, the stories paint a portrait of a woman with amazing depth, a tremendous drive, and fierce loyalty. Traits the former screen actress would call upon in her greatest role as wife to the love of her life, President Ronald Reagan.
While some will focus on Mrs. Reagan's support as a vital factor behind her husband's rise from the Governor's Mansion in California to the Oval Office in Washington, Mrs. Reagan's contributions to our country will be remembered in many different ways.
Mrs. Reagan first learned about Foster Grandparents in 1967 while visiting a school for physically and emotionally handicapped children as the First Lady of California and continued to lend her encouragement as the program marked its 50th anniversary in 2015.
When Mrs. Reagan came to Washington, she helped elevate the Foster Grandparent program's profile on the national stage by making site visits, speaking at a Foster Grandparent national conference in 1981, and discussing the program on national TV. Mrs. Reagan also co-authored a book about Foster Grandparents, "To Love a Child," that inspired a song of the same name that was recorded by Frank Sinatra, which both donated their sales proceeds to benefit the program.
The former First Lady understood the benefit of the intergenerational exchanges taking place through Foster Grandparents: "It's one of the best programs I've ever seen because it benefits both sides: children, who need love, and grandparents, elderly people, who need to feel wanted."
Mrs. Reagan continued to work on behalf of the program for her eight years in the White House and her support helped the program grow. By 1985, Foster Grandparents were serving approximately 65,000 children through 245 projects in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
Today, the program Mrs. Reagan championed continues to thrive. In 2015, Foster Grandparent volunteers served more than 189,000 children. In fact, as we celebrated the program's 50th anniversary last year, Mrs. Reagan wrote, "It is tremendously gratifying to me that the program has continued to grow all these years, providing love and attention to special needs children as well as new purpose and enrichment to the lives of the seniors who volunteer."
President Obama said of Mrs. Reagan's passing, "Our former First Lady redefined the role in her time here. Later, in her long goodbye with President Reagan, she became a voice on behalf of millions of families going through the depleting, aching reality of Alzheimer's, and took on a new role, as advocate, on behalf of treatments that hold the potential and the promise to improve and save lives."
We are saddened by the loss of Mrs. Reagan, who was not only one of the most iconic figures of the 20th century, but also a champion for the elderly, and woman of great strength who spoke up for many who could not speak for themselves. She will be greatly missed.
Wendy Spencer is the CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service, the federal agency that engages millions of Americans in service through AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, and the Social Innovation Fund, and leads the President's national call to service initiative, United We Serve.
Senior Corps connects today's over 55s with the people and organizations that need them most. We help them become mentors, coaches or companions to people in need, or contribute their job skills and expertise to community projects and organizations.
Conceived during John F. Kennedy's presidency, Senior Corps currently links more than 500,000 Americans to service opportunities. Their contributions of skills, knowledge, and experience make a real difference to individuals, nonprofits, and faith-based and other community organizations throughout the United States. Volunteers receive guidance and training so they can make a contribution that suits their talents, interests, and availability.
The Senior Corps Foster Grandparent Program connects volunteers age 55 and over with children and young people with exceptional needs. Volunteers mentor, support, and help some of the most vulnerable children in the United States.
When you share your love, time, and experience, you have the power to help a child who needs you. If you're 55 and want to share your experience and compassion, you have what it takes to be a Foster Grandparent.
As a Foster Grandparent, you're a role model, a mentor, and a friend. Serving at one of thousands of local organizations - including faith-based groups, Head Start Centers, schools, and other youth facilities - you help children learn to read, provide one-on-one tutoring, and guide children at a critical time in their lives. Put simply, you give the kind of comfort and love that sets a child on the path toward a successful future.
Foster Grandparents serve up to 40 hours per week. Some volunteers may qualify to earn a tax-free, hourly stipend. With Foster Grandparents, you'll receive pre-service orientation, training from the organization where you serve, and supplemental accident and liability insurance while on duty.
Remember: When you volunteer, you're not just helping others - you're also helping yourself. Volunteering leads to new discoveries and new friends. Plus, studies show that volunteering helps you live longer and promotes a positive outlook on life.
Join the Senior Corps Foster Grandparents today!

Mr. Daschbach died Feb. 9 at the age of 87 after a long battle with Parkinson's disease.
An Army veteran of World War II who fought in Europe, the Philippines and Japan, Mr. Daschbach earned his degree from Stanford University Law School after the war. During his law school days, he met the "love of his life," Leonore, according to his family.
He was a man of deep faith, attending daily services at St. Raymond, and bringing the sacramental Holy Communion to those who were unable to attend Mass due to physical infirmities, his family said. He was installed as a Knight of the Order of Malta, one of the oldest of the Catholic orders, in 1982.
He was a member of the Serra Club of Palo Alto-Menlo Park, and Menlo Circus Club in Atherton, where he played tennis until his health forced him off the courts.
In addition to his wife of 59 years, Leonore Rooney Daschbach, Mr. Daschbach is survived by his daughters, LeeLee Cusenza of Pleasanton, and Lisa Fuerst and Laura Pitchford of Atherton; sons Rooney Daschbach of Sunset Beach, and Mark Daschbach of Atherton; a sister, Jeanne Miller of San Francisco; 18 grandchildren; and two great-granddaughters.
His youngest daughter, Michele Fast, was killed last October during a shooting rampage in Seal Beach that left eight people dead.
A rosary will be said in Mr. Daschbach's memory at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 15, at St. Raymond Church in Menlo Park. The funeral Mass the next day is also at St. Raymond.
A reception for family and close friends will follow at Menlo Circus Club.
In lieu of flowers, the family prefers contributions to the donor's favorite charity, or to organizations close to Mr. Daschbach's heart: St. Raymond School, the Oakwood Retirement Home of the Religious of the Sacred Heart, the Order of Malta, and SmileTrain.

A Risk Management Plan is a document prepared by a project manager to foresee risks, to estimate the effectiveness, and to create response plans to mitigate them. It also consists of the risk assessment matrix.
A risk is defined as "an uncertain event or condition that, if it occurs, has a positive or negative effect on a project's objectives."[1] Risk is inherent with any project, and project managers should assess risks continually and develop plans to address them. The risk management plan contains an analysis of likely risks with both high and low impact, as well as mitigation strategies to help the project avoid being derailed should common problems arise. Risk management plans should be periodically reviewed by the project team in order to avoid having the analysis become stale and not reflective of actual potential project risks.
Most critically, risk management plans include a risk strategy. Broadly, there are four potential strategies, with numerous variations. Projects may choose to:
- Accept risk; simply take the chance that the negative impact will be incurred
- Avoid risk; changing plans in order to prevent the problem from arising
- Mitigate risk; lessening its impact through intermediate steps
- Transfer risk; outsource risk to a capable third party that can manage the outcome

It is, rather, a reimplementation of PL/python, and accordingly it ought to be called pl/newpython or perhaps pl/pye-thon (sorry, couldn't resist). Peter Eisentraut has made it pretty clear that he would prefer to see us maintain and enhance the existing implementation rather than starting over, and even if we did start over, it seems from the above threads that we'd still need to maintain the existing code for quite a while (if not forever). So it seems to me that the threshold question for this patch is - do we think it's a good idea to maintain two implementations of PL/python in core? ...Robert

Sinkhole Questions Answered:
I am buying a new home and I want to know if there is a sinkhole disclosure law? back to topCurrently the Florida Statutes (Statute 627.7073 (2)(c)) require that a seller of real property is only obligated to disclose to the buyer that a sinkhole claim was made against the property and that the claim was paid by the insurer; they must also disclose whether the funds paid were used to repair the insured damage. Statutes may be modified during annual legislative sessions, so it is always prudent to check the most current statutes (see question #13 above). Most real estate seller's disclosure forms used in Florida today include a sinkhole disclosure statement that covers sinkholes and earth movements in general. Sometimes it is overlooked. If it is in question, be sure to ask.

The Pirates (3-4) took a big step back in the loss to Liberty, after winning three straight games in the Keith LeClair Classic. The weakness in ECU's bullpen was evident, as the Pirates used 10 pitchers with none lasting more than two innings.
But ECU has a chance to right the ship against the Red Storm (1-7), coming off of an 18-5 loss to No.1 North Carolina. St. John's has only scored more than three runs three times this season, with its only win coming against Georgia Tech in the second game of a three-game series. On average, the Red Storm is being outscored by over five runs a game.
Outfielder Martin Kelly (.385 batting average, 10 hits, 4 runs and 3 RBIs) leads St. John's offensive attack. Only four players have a batting average over .250 for the Red Storm, two of which with less than 10 at bats. The team's combined batting average sits at .202 so far this season.
St. John's pitching unit has had five players start this season. The most likely weekend starters are James Lomangino (1.50 ERA, 12 innings pitched, 10 hits and four runs), Ryan McCormick (2.70 ERA, 10 innings pitched, nine hits and three runs) and Sean Hagan (4.97 ERA, 12.2 innings pitched, 12 hits and seven runs). All have made two starts, with Hagan (1-1) recording the lone win of the group.
The Pirates enter the game with several batters playing well. Shortstop Jack Reinheimer is batting .440 with one homerun and two RBIs, followed by Bryan Bass with a .407 average and three RBIs. Chase McDonald leads the team with seven RBIs and all ECU batters with over 20 at bats have over a .250 batting average.
ECU will most likely go with Jeff Hoffman (3.97 ERA, 11.1 innings pitched, 10 hits and five runs), Ryan Williams (2.08 ERA, 13 innings pitched, 12 hits and five runs) and David Lucroy (1.80 ERA, five innings pitched, three hits and one run) as its starting pitchers for this series.
Relief pitcher Jake Harris has played very well, leading the team with four appearances and boasting a 0.00 ERA in 6.2 innings of work. Look for Harris and utility man Drew Reynolds to be working in relief for the Pirates.
The first game of the series is set to begin at 5 p.m. on Friday, March 1. The following games are on Saturday, March 2, at 2 p.m. and Sunday, March 3, at 1 p.m.

If you are arrested and charged with a crime, it is a good idea to hire an attorney to help you navigate the Utah court system. While you might not understand the complexities of Utah criminal law, a qualified Utah defense lawyer can prepare a defence that will give you the best possible chance of getting a fair outcome. Your lawyer can identify any issues or errors in a case presented by the police or opposing legal counsel.
False Identifications by Eyewitnesses
At times, an apparently reliable eyewitness makes a mistake when they try to identify someone that supposedly committed the crime. Poor lighting, long distances and even stress can play a role in a false identification. An Utah defense lawyer may bring these issues to light and question the reliability of an identification.
Failing to Read Rights to an Accused Person
Police force personnel must legally read rights to any accused criminal, commonly called Miranda Rights. In the rush of an arrest, police can overlook this common technical issue. When juveniles are placed under arrest, a parent or legal guardian needs to be present if they're questioned. The Utah court system will dismiss any information or evidence obtained if a criminal isn't read these important rights.
Violating Technical Procedures
Police can violate all kinds of technical procedures, either intentionally or by accident. Some of these might include proper calibration of breathalyzer tests in drinking and driving cases, proper gathering of evidence and proper procedures for questioning witnesses.
Inexperience or Improper Training
While law enforcement personnel are given extensive training prior to being hired, some officers might not be fully aware of all the requirements of Utah criminal law. The majority of people employed in law enforcement go about their job professionally and ethically. However, your attorney will investigate your case to make sure that you had a police officer with experience and proper training.
Inadequate Investigation Techniques
Officers of the law investigate a case as best they can. But sometimes mistakes occur. The public demands arrests, especially in high profile cases. Cases become a lot more difficult when resources are limited.
In case you are charged with a crime, don't attempt to defend yourself in court. Speak to a lawyer who can build a strong case on your behalf.

The outsider
Page Tools
Peter Huck meets a passionate and moral man driven to write about what he believes.
Last year, Nicholson Baker was cruising the internet when he came across a story in The Sydney Morning Herald. American soldiers at a checkpoint near Karbala had fired at a vehicle, killing several Iraqi civilians. The dead included two little girls, their heads blown off.
This horrific vignette was the catalyst for Checkpoint, Baker's latest fiction, a conversation between two men, Jay and Ben, in a Washington hotel suite. Jay wants to assassinate President Bush. Jay's rationale is that by killing Bush he'll save lives. Ben tries to dissuade him.
Written as a polemic, Checkpoint is full of bile, voiced by Jay, against the Bush Administration. Bush is a "war criminal", a "Texas punk" with "drugged-out eyes". Vice-President Dick Cheney and Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld are "rusted hulks" and "zombies", who have "fought their way back up out of the peat bogs where they've been lying". The President's views on Checkpoint are unknown, but the right has been vitriolic, with conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh fulminating against Baker before the book's release.
Baker, a quietly spoken, almost donnish figure, is no stranger to controversy. Reviewing The Fermata, in which an office worker who can stop time undresses women, Victoria Glendinning called it "a repellent book", concluding: "Goodbye Nicholson Baker, goodbye for ever."
The novel, along with Vox (about phone sex and made infamous after Monica Lewinsky gave the book to President Clinton), explores sexual obsession and was a bestseller. And Baker was vilified by librarians after Double Fold took them to task for trashing newspaper archives and replacing them with microfilm.
Still, writing a book in which a character wants to kill the president does up the ante. Baker makes it clear he isn't actually advocating murder - Ben suggests that Jay "rage inward" - and Checkpoint is hardly an assassin's primer (Jay's weapons include a boulder of depleted uranium, radio-controlled flying saws and bullets guaranteed to target Bush after being stored with his picture in a box). Instead, a close reading of Checkpoint, like all of Baker's oeuvre, reveals a complex meditation, this time on Bush's America. "I wanted the reader to think, 'What the hell did we just do?'," explains Baker, on the phone from his home in rural Maine. "We've reached a moral checkpoint. The country is now filled with checkpoints because we've become so fearful. Yet we have this feeling that we're morally pure. Nobody's looking inside our mental baggage, asking, 'Have you actually examined the motives and reasoning behind what we're doing?' "
This moral dimension gives Checkpoint its bite. Baker is appalled by the Iraq War, and what it reveals about the US (an early title was Why America Stinks). Besides mourning dead Iraqis, he also mourns for his country. Baker believes anyone who supported the war became a participant. As such, his book is "about guilt and the assigning of responsibility."
"Sometimes I look at the book and feel, 'What was I thinking?"' he says. "If I went to a bookstore I would feel strange about carrying this to the counter. Part of it is, if you read the book you become complicit in something that is in a sense a crime. And that's what happened in this country. Congress authorised this goofball to wage war and he waged war. And we all bear some responsibility for that crime."
Responsibility seems hardwired in Baker, a passionate soul "compelled to write each book" and prepared to be a critical pariah with his work. Born into a Quaker family in 1957, he went to an experimental school, then a music college, before switching to English literature. Bright, bookish, and somewhat obsessive, he spent years seeking a literary voice, until he had an epiphany.
"I remember the day," Baker says. "I took a walk - we were living in North Quincy, Massachusetts - and a saw a chain link fence and a roll [napkin] that had been run over by a lawnmower and strewn all over the ground. And I just thought my day's work was to go home and write about the shadow from that fence. I actually traced the shadow the fence made on the roll." Baker, who had been toiling miserably on a conventional murder mystery, had found his calling.
The result, 1988's literary smash, The Mezzanine - one man's first-person journey up an escalator, complete with footnotes - brought glowing comparisons to Proust, Nabokov and Barthelme, and introduced Baker's trademark pointillist style, in which often banal details reveal deeper truths.
Each book, says Baker, emerges from a sense of crisis (The Mezzanine was initially called Desperation, because Baker feared he would be "washed up" if he hadn't published a novel by the age of 30). Intriguingly, between each published book, he tries to write "normal books". "Dickens and Tolstoy are the great ones. And I wish to God I could do something like that. But you have to stand before the world as you actually are. And say, 'This is it. This is all I've got.' "
Part of Baker's appeal is that he doesn't rest on his laurels. He says he is "still figuring out how to be a writer". Although best known for his micro-macro style (and Checkpoint features a striking image of sunlight beaming in from the vastness of space to illuminate a pinhead), he is also fond of dialogue. Indeed, the book could conceivably work as a play - prompting a satirical review by P.J. O'Rourke that compares Jay and Ben's chat to Waiting for Godot.
On the day that I spoke with Baker, the President called the Iraq war a "catastrophic success", a disturbingly Orwellian phrase. Yet while the ghost of 1984 seems to stalk America's endless "war against terror", Baker sees a chink of sunlight; no one can police his thoughts. "A man can sit in a room and type out a book that discusses something this disturbing," he muses, "and not be carted off to Guantanamo. It's a desperate act on my part to be proud of something American."

The guy was out qualifying the red bull racing guys, while driving the Torro Rosso. He had Liuzzi covered but he was the one dropped. The real reason they let him go was because his outspoken american attitude didn't sit well with his european bosses. Too bad he never learned that. He should have asked to be transferred to Indy rather than Nascar. With lucrative Red Bull backing in a solid team he might still have had a full time ride, and better success. His forte is single seaters, it would have been natural. 1 agree 0 disagree

Never again will I take reading for granted; Sherman and Grafton made clear that bookishness is a behavior worth looking into.
And after her came my Uncle Grafton and my grandfather, with all the servants who had been in hearing.
Many minutes had not elapsed ere we reached the corner of Grafton Street.
Churchill and Grafton were entrusted with the task of reassembling the dispersed army and bringing it into order.
We were very particular at Grafton Hall about our hockey balls.
His first venture was as editor and publisher of a newspaper in Grafton county, New Hampshire.

Fallout: New Vegas Q&A
How big is the overall map in Fallout: New Vegas compared to Fallout 3?
It's comparable to Fallout 3 – it's about the same size.
Does siding with one faction in the game preclude you from talking to others?
Sometimes. You have the two big forces warring in New Vegas – the New California Republic and Cesar's Legion. There's no one particular example, but depending on which side you favour it definitely alienates you from the other one.
Is there any overarching Enclave-style enemy?
That's kind of the big question – it depends how you want to approach the game. There's a lot of different ways to approach the endgame – there's a big war that's about to take place between the NCR and Cesar's Legion. Depending on which side you favour, by default the other side almost becomes your enemy. Even so, it's not as clear-cut as that. For example you can strike out on your own, as one potential ending. It's all dependent on your choices.
Does the game dialogue differ in tone to Fallout 3?
We've got a range [of tones] in NewVegas. There's some characters you'll encounter in the game, like Fantastic, that are humorous. But at the same time there will be moments and conversations in the game where you should not be smiling at all. We try to run the range, to have that contrast there.
Is Fallout: New Vegas linked in any way to Fallout 3?
No. You saw the distance between the two locations. It takes place three years after the events of the capital wasteland – you actually won't see any repercussions from Fallout 3 in New Vegas, because of the distance ant the rather short timeframe.
How many mods can you add to each weapon?
It can go up to three for some of the weapons, if I recall correctly. It all depends on the weapon type. If you have the mod, it'll definitely give an advantage to that weapon – os it's not an either/or situation.
Malcolm McDowell and Liam Neeson were in Fallout 3 – what about New Vegas?
We can't currently say!

Good Morning ATT readers! Can you believe we are smack dab in the middle of summer? I mean, it is in full swing and if I can just survive Girls Camp this week, I will be one happy camper! {<—See what I did there?! 😉 } Ha!
I just love the 4th of July. I LOVE everything about it. The colors, the patriotism, the food, the family, it's just an overall fun-filled holiday! Am I right? So when The Cards We Drew asked us to participate in an Ultimate Red, White and Blue round-up involving 110 amazing bloggers, I had to jump on board!
I love these wreaths right now! They have the funnest colors available and after seeing this cute tutorial, I knew I had to make one!!!
What you'll need:
- 16″ wire wreath form (The one pictured is 18″ and it is HUGE!) I found this one at Walmart but you can get them anywhere.
- 3 rolls of deco mesh (21 inches x 30 feet) **Lets talk about this for a minute: I bought the more spendy kind at Michael's, then found some cheap stuff at Walmart so I bought both because I was curious if there was a difference. Guess what?? There is. The cheap stuff is just that, cheap. So if you want a good wreath that will hold up, spend a few more dollars!**
- pipe cleaners
- ribbon (optional)
- scissors
- cutting board
Start by cutting your mesh. This part takes the longest. You will cut your strips 10″ long. You don't need to be super straight with this either. Cut until your little fingers can't cut anymore! 😉 With my 3 rolls of mesh, I was able to make THREE 12′ wreaths which are the perfect size for a standard door! If you make them any bigger, you can get approx. 2 wreaths out of it.
Next, tie your pipe cleaners on. Your wreath is divided into sections so I put 2 on each and rotated them so they were spaced out evenly.
Roll your mesh tightly with your hands… then bunch together, 3 pieces at a time.
Add your bunch to the wreath. Twist the pipe cleaner a couple times then wrap around so the tie is at the back. If you want to add ribbon, add it to about every other bunch of mesh!
Oh man! I LOVE IT!! It looks like a giant firework on my door! Isn't it so CUTE?? Don't forget to check out all of the other amazing ideas below! There are some talented ladies!

Billionaire media mogul
Media executives were united in their opposition to the proposed Public Interest Media Advocate, labelling the power of the position as unprecedented, far-reaching and direct government interference of the press.
Mr Stokes, who has extensive mining equipment and services business interests in China and opposes the entire package, said: "We started the Shanghai Daily newspaper as a joint venture with less oversight than this government's planning for us now."
"For the first time in Australian history outside wartime there will be political oversight over the conduct of journalism in this country," he told a Senate committee hearing into the government's media package.
"The practical application of this legislation is that it sets up a model where the minister of the government can pick up the phone to his own appointee and say "fix it" – "fix it" being, get the media off our backs."
Fairfax Media publishes The Australian Financial Review.
Mr Stokes's
Under heated questioning from Labor Senator
"The Australian system has been an effective system, it's never been blemished like the system in England was," Mr Stokes later told the AFR.
"That had just as much to do with police and officials as it did with journalists. So I don't think it's a relevant example at all. In Australia, we're governed by a really good system of law enforcement at all levels and those issues that arose in England simply don't arise in Australia."
Mr Stokes, who is chairman and the controlling shareholder of
"The government's not saying it. The government appears to have a particular problem. And it seems from the questioning I got this morning they're problems with News Corporation and all of us are being lumbered with the same brush."
Mr Stokes said that in his four decades of working in the media, he had dealt with 24 communications ministers and that he agreed with Mr Hywood's assertion that government ministers had a tendency to call public officials and ask them to "fix" problems.
"Absolutely, that's what I've observed as well," he told the AFR. "Of all the ministers [that he had dealt with] there's at least half of them you wouldn't want heading up this body."
Mr Stokes, who is chairman and controlling shareholder of Seven West Media, which owns TV, newspapers, magazines and digital media assets, echoed other media bosses in their criticism of the government for rushing through the legislation.
He said the powers of the PIMA were "intrusive", "draconian", and went "beyond anything I have seen anywhere else".
Under the legislation, the PIMA could deregister a self-regulatory body such as the Australian Press Council, which would mean its member publishers would lose their exemptions from the Privacy Act.
"You wouldn't get investigative journalism, which is so important to our democracy," Mr Stokes said.
Mr Hywood issued a warning that the PIMA was a "nuclear option because it would predominantly shut down a news gathering organisation". "The PIMA has the power to determine the standards of journalistic conduct to which the Press Council would have to subscribe to," Mr Hywood said.
News Ltd chief executive
Ten was also worried about the subjectivity of the public interest test for media mergers.
In a separate committee hearing on the reach rule, Mr McLennan said "a series of mergers" would result if the reach rule was abolished. The rule prohibits a TV licence holder from reaching more than 75 per cent of the national population and so prevents metropolitan TV networks from merging with regional TV broadcasters".
"You're going to see more concentration and you're going to see a lack of diversity," he said.
The issue has split the TV industry.
He said Nine was "passionate about news" and gave an undertaking to maintain local news services in the event of a merger with Southern Cross.
Southern Cross chief executive Rhys Holleran defended the regional broadcaster's short local "news updates", saying half-hour news bulletins were "just not economically viable" in smaller markets.
Prime Media chief executive Ian Audsley said it was "a furphy" to argue abolishing the reach rule would lessen local programming.
But WIN Corp chief executive Andrew Lancaster said scrapping the rule "would be the end of regional television because there would be no difference from what comes out of Sydney to what is aired in Victoria".
Foxtel chief executive
He said there was no guidance on what diversity of voices or a substantial lessening of diversity meant.
He said the reappointment of the PIMA could be "contingent on achieving certain outcomes".
"The PIMA is an individual working part time, who will have to make complex and subjective decisions," he said. "Other regulatory bodies typically comprise groups of members so that a variety of opinions and experience can be brought to bear on a decision."

Candidates sought for Fall Festival Cover Girl title
From Staff Reports
July 3, 2008 - Hopkins County Fall Festival is looking for about half a dozen young ladies willing to work hard at having a lot of fun. The payoff? Chances to win scholarships and grace publicity materials promoting the annual festival as the 2008 Cover Girl.
In order to enter the annual Cover Girl Contest, the participant must be a Hopkins County resident, entering their junior year of high school and pay a $25 entry fee no later than July 25.
Before school let out for the summer, representatives from the Cover Girl contest talked to sophomores at Hopkins County schools about participating in the contest. Each girl was given an information packet to read and discuss with their parents.
Participants need to fill out the forms, also available at Hopkins County Regional Civic Center box office, and return them along with the $25 entry fee and a clear, printable head-shot picture by noon July 25. Pictures may also be e-mailed to the coordinator to be used in the Fall Festival brochure. Information packets may also be obtained from the Fall Festival website: hopkinscountyfallfestival.com.
"There is a lot that is expected to do to participate in the contest and to be the Cover Girl. The deadline to have everything turned in will be 12 noon on Friday, July 25. No one will be accepted after the deadline," said Tracy Dennis, Cover Girl event coordinator. "This is not a beauty pageant where they have a talent, formal, etc. ... They compete in 'country' type skills. Competing in the Cover Girl Contest is a lot of hard work, but it is a fun and exciting experience. The girls learn to do many things they would otherwise never do. Hopefully, they learn responsibility, competitiveness and to make friendships with girls from other schools."
Some of those experiences will include the standard selling of raffle tickets, decorating a parade float as well as a window in a downtown business. Each girl will also be asked to participate in two days of competitions which include milking a cow, bottle feeding a calf, driving a tractor through an obstacle course, saddling and mounting a horse, cutting up a chicken, calf scramble and goat tying. One change this year will be the roping of a steer head instead of a pig scramble.
The contest is designed for fun and healthy competition and is an individual event, not a team event. The categories for competition are basically timed events, and the girls are given points for participation in each, with the one rated best overall taking the title.
The Cover Girl will be chosen according to her ability and creativity and not by a judge's opinion. In order to make the contest as fair and non-biased as possible, time keepers and judges are not a part of the Fall Festival board or other events.
The parade is Saturday, Sept. 13, and timed events are Tuesday, Sept. 16, and Thursday, Sept. 18. They'll meet with the coordinator, vendors, booth operators and Fall Festival officials Friday morning, Sept. 19. At the end of the event, Saturday night, Sept. 20, during the Starnite performance, 2007-2008 Cover Girl Somer Gregory will crown the new Cover Girl and drape her with a sash she's had prepared for the occasion.
And as Somer can tell you, the work doesn't end there. The Cover Girl makes a year-long commitment to represent Hopkins County and the Fall Festival. The Cover Girl is required to attend at least 80 percent of all ribbon cuttings and other civic events or forfeit their scholarship. The Chamber of Commerce will notify the event coordinator, who will in turn let the Cover Girl know when and where the events will be held. As some of these events occur during school hours, the Cover Girl is generally allowed to miss class during certain events, but must return to school as soon as they are over.
In return for the hard work, the Cover Girl not only earns the title, but also is awarded a $750 scholarship, distributed in amounts of $375 per semester with proof of enrollment. The scholarship must be claimed within two years of graduation from high school, and is forfeited if the Cover Girl opts not to attend college or another school for continuing education. Any forfeited funds are reinvested in a savings account to increase its value to go back into the scholarship fund for future Cover Girls. The Cover Girl also is awarded a $100 Visa gift card and a $50 saving bond.
The first runner-up will receive a $500 scholarship ($250 per semester upon proof of enrollment), $75 Visa gift card and a $50 savings bond The second runner-up will receive a $50 Visa gift card and a $50 savings bond. Gift cards for $25 will be awarded to the parade conveyance and raffle ticket sales winners.
Also, all Cover Girl contestants will vote for the girl they believe to the the friendliest, most helpful and who had the best all-around attitude. The girl getting the most votes from her co-contestants will be named Miss Congeniality and receive a $50 gift card and a $50 savings bond.
All girls that have signed up by the deadline to compete in the Cover Girl contest will have a planning meeting at 2 p.m. Sunday, July 27, in the conference room at B&B Steakhouse (formerly K-Bobs).
Reigning Cover Girl Somer Gregory, daughter of C.W. and Marta Gregory, also will be on hand for the events. The 2007-2008 Cover Girl just finished her senior year. She was very active in FFA, serving as an officer. She enjoys team roping and hanging out with her friends. She works at C.W. Gregory Motor Co. and is planning to attend college in the fall and eventually get a degree in design engineering.
Any additional questions may be directed to Cover Girl coordinator Tracy Dennis at 903-885-9366 or at email@example.com.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Cy greeted me right away by pressing his head against my hand as I reached into his kennel to pet him. He is a sweet and friendly boy. He has a good temperament, too, and was not upset in the least when a visitor let another large dog get too close to him. Cy loves treats. When we were in an interaction pen, he found every treat that had been left in the pen. That's fine because Cy needs to put on some weight. He's a good looking blue pit but is also a little too thin right now. Cy knows how to sit and is good on a leash. He's also attentive when you talk to him and follows directions. Come meet Cy today. He waits patiently at his gate hoping that someone will take him out.
Please refer to the animal's ID number when calling the shelter.
Time is of the essence for dogs at this shelter. Please act quickly if you're interested.
Act quickly to adopt Cy. Pets at this Shelter may be held for only a short time.
Cy, a Athens Pit Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Athens, or seeking a Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in Athens.

Every now and then you find a yarn so lovely that you save it in your stash for just the right project. That's the reaction I had when I first discovered Blue Sky Alpaca's Worsted Hand Dyes, which is soft yet sturdy and perfect for capturing the casual, sweatshirt-type feeling of this tunic. I made the neckline wide, shaped the arm openings with elastic, and gathered the midriff with pleats, resulting in a comfortable, warm tunic that can be worn with just about anything.

The South African National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) spent R969,000 of taxpayer's money on berets for it's June 16 celebrations. They were given a budget of R2.8 million and spent just under one million on berets. Berets?????
I don't know about you, but that just sounds ridiculous.
I'd love to know how many berets they got for nearly a million Rand?
"The agency further covered costs for T-shirts for R490000, berets to the value of R969000, artists for R262000, R294000 for stadium branding and lanyards for R17000," said Chabane.
In addition to the funds provided by The Presidency, Eastern Cape premier Noxolo Kiviet approved more than R2-million from provincial coffers for the event." [TimesLIVE]

Straightening a crooked smile improves confidence and allows you to bite into other people's sandwiches without leaving identifying tooth prints. Align teeth into stealth formation with this Groupon.
$2,799 for Invisalign, ClearCorrect, or Standard Braces (Up to $6,800 Value)
Each patient begins treatment with a consultation, which includes impressions and x-rays. These will reveal alignment problems plaguing their smiles and suggest treatment with Invisalign, ClearCorrect, or standard braces. Invisalign and ClearCorrect use a series of hard-to-see aligners.
Moradi Signature Smiles
At Moradi Signature Smiles, Dr. Ramin Moradi and his staff tackle virtually every facet of dentistry, minimizing the need for outside referrals. He and the team bring together skills in cosmetic and restorative dentistry to give patients the teeth they dream about. Invisalign and ClearCorrect orthodontia replace conspicuous wires to bestow pearlies with perfect straightness, and dental implants replace roots with titanium rods and porcelain crowns that function as natural teeth but are impervious to cavities and decay. In addition, sedation dentistry helps uneasy patients come through procedures relaxed and comfortable, unlike a parrot that only knows how to talk about rising college tuition.

This month's "Opinion" pays a graceful tribute to Miss Henrietta Szold on the occasion of her relinquishing her work in Palestine.
"Miss Szold has been far and above the most significant personal contribution of America to the upbuilding of the Jewish Homeland," says the editorial.
"It is testimony to the meaning of Henrietta Szold's influence that has all but ceased to be thought of as only the creator and moving spirit of Hadassah. That she was, and in relation to the beneficent and abiding work of Hadassah she will be remembered.
"In more recent years, Miss Szold pursued still another great task, that of co-ordinating, if not federating the philanthropies of Palestine. This task must not go undone. It must, now that she has left Palestine, find servants touched with something of her patience and consecration and strength. Henrietta Szold leaves behind her in Eretz Israel a record of loftiest devotion to the loftiest ends of her people's life. Her fellow-Jews in our own land will welcome her back with gratitude and reverence as one of the truest and noblest Jewish servants of her age."
Among other features in this month's issue of "Opinion" are: "I fear Hitler," by John Haynes Holmes; "Henri Bergson's Testament: an Interpretation," by H. M. Kallen; "Freud's American Ambassador," a Semitic Silhouette of Dr. A. A. Brill by Henry W. Alexander, and "An. Avignonese Purim," by Cecil Roth.

Cherokee County was created from the Tahlequah District in the Cherokee Nation when Indian and Oklahoma Territories were joined to form the State of Oklahoma in 1907. It is located in northeastern Oklahoma in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains, near the Illinois River and Lake Tenkiller. The Cherokee Nation occupied these lands as early as the 1830s. In 1838, the Cherokee were forcibly removed from their tribal lands in North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama to Indian Territory (Now Oklahoma). This tragic event is commonly known as "The Trail of Tears".
The county capital of Tahlequah boasts to several historical sites. It is the home of Northeastern State University and the Cherokee Arts and Crafts Center.
Cherokee government buildings still standing are the Capitol (1867-70), the National Prison (1874), and the Supreme Court (1844); and the Murrell Home (1844) in Park Hill is a fine example of an antebellum mansion.

Montreal, Canada (SPX) Nov 22, 2012
A team of IRCM researchers, led by Dr. Frederic Charron, recently uncovered a nerve cell's internal clock, used during embryonic development. The discovery was made in collaboration with Dr. Alyson Fournier's laboratory at the Montreal Neurological Institute.
Published in the prestigious scientific journal Neuron, this breakthrough could lead to the development of new tools to repair and regenerate nerve cells following injuries to the central nervous system.
Researchers in Dr. Charron's laboratory study neurons, which are the nerve cells that make up the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). They want to better understand how neurons navigate through the developing embryo to arrive at their correct destination.
"To properly form neural circuits, developing axons (long extensions of neurons that form nerves) follow external signals to reach the right targets," says Dr. Frederic Charron, Director of the Molecular Biology of Neural Development research unit at the IRCM.
"We discovered that nerve cells also have an internal clock, which changes their response to external signals as they develop over time."
For this research project, IRCM scientists focused on the Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) protein, which gives cells important information for the embryo to develop properly and plays a critical role in the development of the central nervous system.
"It is known that axons follow the Shh signal during their development," explains Dr. Patricia Yam, research associate in Dr. Charron's laboratory and first author of the study.
"However, axons change their behaviour once they reach this protein, and this has been a mystery for the scientific community. We found that a nerve cell's internal clock switches its response to external signals when it reaches the Shh protein, at which time it becomes repelled by the Shh signal rather than following it."
"Our findings therefore showed that more than one system is involved in directing axon pathfinding during development," adds Dr. Yam.
"Not only do nerve cells respond to external signals, but they also have an internal control system. This discovery is important because it offers new possibilities for developing techniques to regenerate and repair damaged nerve cells.
Along with trying to modify external factors, we can now also consider modifying elements inside a cell in order to change its behaviour."
Injuries to the central nervous system affect thousands of Canadians every year, and can lead to lifelong disabilities. Most often caused by an accident, stroke or disease, these injuries are very difficult to repair.
New tools are therefore required to repair damage to the central nervous system, including techniques that could potentially regenerate nerve cells.
"The Canadian Institutes of Health Research is delighted to support research aimed at improving the lives of individuals with damage to the brain or spinal cord," says Dr. Anthony Phillips, Scientific Director of CIHR's Institute of Neurosciences, Mental Health and Addiction.
"Nerve cell repair and regeneration remains an important health challenge, and we believe that Dr. Charron's research findings will contribute to the solution."
