It is not easy to lose fat. It takes roughly a 3,500 calorie deficit to lose a pound. That sounds like a lot, but when you are eating foods that are high in nutritional value and low in calories, like the superfoods, the weight will feel like it is literally melting off. And, you get the benefit of super nutrients strengthening your body at the same time. So, to eat meals that are satisfying, nutritious, and will help you lose weight, all you need to do is go back to basics and eat superfoods for weight loss.
Here are 10 "superfoods" to help you lose weight and feel great:
Tomatoes: very low in calories, source of vitamin A, C and antioxidants. Use cooked and raw. Try halved tomatoes sprinkled with parmesan cheese and broiled until cheese melts.
Salmon: the super fish, heavy in omega 3 fatty acids, protein and calcium, Vitamin D and B. Grilled, baked or sautéed, serve over a bed of brown rice with a squeeze of lemon juice.
Green tea: metabolism booster, rich in antioxidants. Try iced or hot. Green tea can be mixed with black tea if you don't care for the taste. Add a sprig of mint or lemon for variety.
Broccoli: high in fiber, folate vitamins A and C, low in calories. Stir fry broccoli with garlic and scallions with a splash of soy sauce for an oriental treat.
Apples: An apple before each meal helps you lose weight. High in pectin and fiber so you feel full longer. Bake apples with the center filled with walnuts and a sprinkle of brown sugar.
Spinach: Popeye was right about spinach but the fresh kind not the canned kind. High in antioxidants, vitamins A, K, B and C. Dress a raw spinach salad with olive oil and vinegar dressing. Add a sliced hard boiled egg and you almost have a perfect meal.
Walnuts: source of protein, healthy fat and fiber. Add chopped walnuts to yogurt to boost the protein and add some fiber. Or to cooked brown rice for a bit of crunch. Other nuts to try include almonds and hazelnuts.
Oats: the long cooking kind takes only 5 minutes and is a better source of fiber than quick cooking. Oats have been shown to decrease cholesterol. Oats are not just for breakfast add them to meatloaf or meat balls for extra fiber.
Blueberries: the miracle berry, full of vitamins and antioxidants. Blueberries in a salad are an extra treat. Add a handful of blueberries in the blender with a fruit smoothie.
Garlic: great for cooking and for your health. Reduces cholesterol and blood pressure. Garlic mellows considerably when cooked. Throw several cloves into the water when you're making pasta then smash and add to the sauce.

Fitch upped the long-term issuer default rating to BB- from B+, and the secured credit facility rating to BB+ from BB. The increase reflected Burger King's consistently positive same-store-sales growth, increased average restaurant sales, and improved operating margins over the past 12 months, Fitch said.

Case update: Pryor v. Colony Insurance – An employer's commerical general liability policy: are you covered?
By Jarad N. Key
If an independent contractor is injured on the job, does the insurer for the person hiring him have to pay for his injuries? A recent decision by the Kentucky Court of Appeals makes clear that independent contractors are not "employees" under a company's commercial general liability (CGL) policy.
In Pryor v. Colony Insurance (rendered Feb. 1, 2013, and designated "To Be Published"), the Court of Appeals held that language in a CGL policy, which includes which purports to preclude coverage for liability arising out of injuries to employees or anyone performing duties related to the conduct of the insured's business, covers all workers. In the Pryor case, an individual, who was not an employee of Newcastle Hauling, LLC, was hauling timber for the company when a skidder he was operating rolled over and crushed him, tragically resulting in his death. The contractor's estate instituted a lawsuit against Colony Insurance Company, among others, to recover damages for his death.
The policy that Colony provided to Newcastle Hauling had two provisions that excluded liability. The first, an "employer's liability" exclusion, precluded coverage for liability arising out of injuries to "employees." In addition, a "contractors coverage limitations" endorsement expressly barred coverage for liability arising out of injury to anyone "performing duties related to the conduct of the insured's business." In its primary holding in the case, the Court found that the contractor was clearly performing duties related to the conduct of Newcastle Hauling's business at the time of his death, and therefore, the "contractors coverage limitations" endorsement precluded insurance coverage in this case.
The Court of Appeals also turned aside several other arguments advanced by the contractor's estate, holding that (1) the estate could not bring a direct action against the insurance company without first establishing its claim against the wrongdoer who had injured the decedent, and (2) although an insurance company's violation of the Unfair Claims Settlement Practices Act (UCSPA) creates a private cause of action both for the named insured and for those who have claims against the named insured, a third-party claimant may only sue the insurance company under the USCPA when coverage either is not contested or is already established, but not when there is no coverage available under the policy.

This release has taken ages to put up due to my laptop packing up shortly after recording the set. Thankfully Sam was able to sort the mp3s out in the end.
Here we have 3 tracks from Kidderminsters' punk-indie-rock-pop giants Meg. These have been selected from a 30 minute set recorded at The Tardibigge Venue just outside Redditch. The sound is a bit unbalanced because we could only get a stereo line out of the desk and a mono mic up in the corner. It matters not tho cos it's punk rock and it comes from the heart! ;-)

Course Policies
Auditing a Course
A student may apply to the instructor for permission to audit a class. The student must meet university entrance requirements and pay the audit fee, which is one half the regular course fee. A student may not change from an audit classification to obtain credit after the last date to change registration, nor change from credit to audit after the sixth week of instruction. An audited class will not count toward a degree.
Independent Study
Independent study enables students to enrich their university experience by pursuing learning in a closely supervised program and providing opportunity for individual investigation of subject areas not covered in regular course offerings. An undergraduate, upperclass student (those with 60 or more completed units) who has a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 may receive credit for a maximum of 9 independent study units to be applied toward a degree program. No more than 4 units may be applied toward one project, and a maximum of 9 independent study units may be taken during one academic term.
The independent study is recorded as XXX 497, XXX 498, or XXX 499 on the student's permanent academic record. To request an independent study course for any given semester, the student should begin planning the study during advising and must submit a completed Course Replacement/Independent Study form to One Stop | Undergraduate Enrollment Services Center by the last day of the add period (see the Academic Calendar for the specific date).
The application must include:
- A completed Course Replacement/Independent Study form.
- A proposal written in consultation with the supervising or mentoring instructor.
- Signed approval of the instructor, department chair, and dean of the appropriate school or college.
The student pays an additional fee of $125/unit for independent study courses.
Course Replacement
Course replacement is the replacement of a catalog course in terms of units, content, syllabus, outline, and testing by an independent study version of the course. In general, the course tutorial cannot substitute for a course that is offered on a regular basis. However, there may be occasions in which it may be utilized to fulfill a course requirement when a course is cancelled because of low enrollment. The actual course number, instead of an independent study number, is recorded on the student's permanent academic record.
Course replacement units do not count toward the maximum 9 independent study units allowed in a degree program. To request a course replacement for any given semester, the student must submit a completed Course Replacement/Independent Study form to One Stop by the last day of the add period (see the Academic Calendar for the specific date).

Stigmas or Superheros
First of all, apologies as I haven't written a blog for a while. It's down to a few reasons, work family also, I have been reading a few blogs and social media (tweets, Facebook posts) .
Everybody has their own unique way of writing and telling their stories which is amazing, it's really helpful and takes some bottle to really open up and tell all, I have total respect to you all and thank you.
While reading them, I can see myself in most but also get why there is this stigma (which is bollocks). I tried to read from a neutral point of view and read every word as though I'd never struggled with anxiety attacks and mental health issues due to them. The words , the sentences they seem fictional!! Even though I know that they are 100% true, a 'normal' person reading them will think that we are lying. But why would people make things up? I write not to scare sufferers, I do not lie, I just want to let people know that it is ok, EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT!! I'm willing to tell you what goes on in my head and my life to try and help if you want to talk about or read it.
The help is great, can't fault the blogs, however I'm going to talk about an incident, one like no other has made me think about people and my mental illness.
Are You Panicking Now?
During the years, I must admit…. Even though the panic/anxiety has been crippling and I would not wish it upon my worst enemy, there have been some stories to tell. I cringed at the time, but when we (I mean close friends and family) talk about it them, laughter comes of it.
Which can only be good?
When I was about 25, the attacks were in full flow, I could not be left alone , never!! As you know , I was desperate , dependant on everyone and anyone. Selfishly struggling through that part of my life.

Lost Freedom
This was written by someone very close to me who lives with mental illness. I see what it's like for them to develop anxiety and panic just because they have to go out the door or when it comes time to write an email. I see first hand how isolating mental illness can be, by family and friends and themselves…like they say, it's lost freedom.
People need to know living with mental illness IS NOT a choice.

Kelly Risbey – My Story
Written by Kelly Risbey
I've battled anxiety and depression on and off for almost 20 years. My anxiety started getting bad in high school and I started having panic attacks in my second year of university. This led to my panic disorder diagnosis and my first major battle with anxiety.
Trying to manage school, maintain a good GPA, cope with panic attacks that happened during class, deal with endless anxiety issues, find support, and learn how to battle my panic disorder was exhausting, frustrating, terrifying. All I wanted was my life back. I wanted to go to class, take notes, listen to the lecture, talk to my friends, do homework, have fun, and relax: normal university stuff. It was a long, hard road, but with incredible support, I learned to battle this disorder, I reclaimed my life, and I graduated.

Clint Malarchuk – Interview
Interview by Samina Raza
December 28, 2014
I had the great pleasure of interviewing Clint Malarchuk, NHL goalie, NHL coach, cowboy, horse dentist and now author of his first book "A Matter of Inches", the title refers to the bullet in his head, as well as the skate that was actually a few millimeters from his carotid artery! This man is indestructible, thank goodness, knock on wood!
He suffered from OCD, horrible anxiety, depression, alcohol abuse, and finally PTSD because of a horrific hockey injury to his neck. Even dealing with all those mental illnesses, he became a great goalie, playing for, among others, the Buffalo Sabres. And then an NHL coach. While battling his demons and alcohol addiction, he put a bullet in his head and survived with no side effects! His book is a tour de force of honesty, truth and a no holds barred description of his life, good or bad, he put it all to paper. The book is a must read.

My Name is Sarah and I Have Panic Disorder
Written by Sarah Fader
I'm Sarah Fader, a mother of two, a blogger, an animal lover and I am living with panic disorder. What this is means is that sometimes, out of nowhere, I feel what is known as "fight or flight." There is a seemingly imminent threat, when in actuality I am completely safe. Panic is a funny thing. I've laid in bed awaiting sleep and all at once I would feel a pain in my cervical spine. The pain would trigger a automatic thought in my mind: I am dying.

SSRIs: It Doesn't Have To Be This Way
Written by: Caroline CriadoPerez
Journalist & Feminist Activist
This is a blog I've been meaning to write for a while. I've held back mainly out of fear. I know that by writing this for public consumption, I'm giving more ammunition to those who seek to discredit me and dismiss everything I say as the irrational ramblings of an unbalanced hysteric. I also know that when they use this post to undermine my words, it will hurt me. But I feel like it's my duty to write this, because there might be other people out there who have been struggling like I have, and don't realise they don't have to live this way. And also, I feel stronger now. I feel like maybe I will be able to cope with the inevitable jibes.
Thoughts, Comfort and My Mind
Written by: http://www.allinyourhead.co.uk/
When days become your night time and night becomes your day time, unless you are working a permanent night shift, there is a problem.
The anxiety/panic had become so bad, I could only sleep when I was surrounded by familiar faces and voices. In my mind, there was theory.
I'm a happy person generally, always game for a laugh and a joke , love a giggle and have to see people smile.
However, I was having attacks so frequently that my mind was set on the next one being 'the one' to finish me.
So my thinking was, 'if it is going to happen, why don't I die while the sun shines, where I can see or here my family rather than just sneak off in the dark of the night with nothing but silence and not having any happiness…?' A very odd way of thinking for a man in his twenties?! I'd imagine me thinking of it in my eighties or nineties or possibly not at all. I had planned where when and how (heart attack) I was going to die!
I have never told anyone this but it gave me some sort of comfort.

This prayer was written by Christopher Luke in recognition of World Mental Health Day, October 10, 2014.
Eternal Heavenly Father and Creator & Sustainer of all life

Eye glasses and contacts literally extend the eyesight of people who are near- or far- sighted. Without them, a lot of things can go wrong because of lower visual acuity, including accidental injury or death.
Why is getting eyewear for work important? Eye glass wearers should always have at least two pairs of eye glasses and/or an extra set of contacts so that they can wear one set at work.
Eye Strain from Work Computers
Eyesight changes with each passing year. One of the biggest causes of vision change is wearing the wrong prescription for different types of work. For example, if you work on a computer all day, you can experience light sensitivity and vision problems over time if you wear eyewear that has your "normal" prescription because a computer monitor screen puts too much strain on the eyes — especially when your eyewear brings the screen into extreme focus. Wearing "computer" glasses that feature an anti-reflective coating and a slightly weaker prescription can lessen the degree of strain and damage.
Driving Problems Over Time
Now that we are in the middle of winter, you need to be able to see clearly when driving because rain, hail, fog and snow limit visibility. A single scratch on your everyday glasses or contacts that accidentally happened at work can immediately interfere with your eyesight. While driving, a scratch can actually distract you from looking at the road. Worse yet, if you accidentally break your eyewear on the job, you won't be able to drive at all without a second set.
For more information about the importance of backup eyewear, or to schedule an appointment, contact our eye care specialists today!

I'd actually like to get a beta reader for it because goodness knows if I spot 5 errors it's likely there's 25.
Yes I realize it's unorthodox to get someone to beta something AFTER it was posted. But I feel like I should. If only because I feel like the premise was too good to be completely wasted.
Email/PM me if you're interested.
Additional Notes:
I'm probably going to revamp my stories when I get the chance. I look back and I feel like they should be better. It's like whenever I post is when I suddenly notice those dozens of previously invisible mistakes. Which sucks. So I'll go back to them at some point. When I get around to it. Errrr... hopefully.
I've also been horribly mean as of late in giving out reviews. It seems I'm only signing on for very few authors or for fantastic fics that simply aren't noticed. I really should review more and I hate that I don't but I just... don't. I'm a horrible person I know.
I'm a little sad "I know why the caged bird sings" didn't get more reviews. Honestly, it's the first story I was happy with and it's the one with the least reviews. Maybe I just can't write serious fics worth shit. That's unfortunate... I suppose I'll have to keep spewing random humor fics...
Last thing I swear: I love my reviewers. All of ya. A cookie for you all (and for anyone who managed to reach the end of this). Or a fortune cookie if that's what you prefer. xD

39th Southern Miss Medallion Recipient
Children's and young adult author Eve Bunting began her sto-
rytelling career in her home country of Ireland. She was born Anne Evelyn Bolton in Maghera, Northern Ireland, and started telling
stories to entertain her fellow students at boarding school with her
own versions of popular Irish tales. She attended university in Ireland,
first at Methodist College in Belfast and then at Queen's College where she met
her husband, Edward. The two left Ireland for Scotland after their marriage and had
three children, Christine, Glenn, and Sloan. In 1958 the Buntings immigrated to the United States and settled in California. Once her children were grown, the craving to tell stories overwhelmed Bunting again. She took a course in writing for publication and her first book, a retelling of the Irish legend The Two Giants, was published in 1972. Since that first book, Bunting has tackled all genres of children's literature, as well as most forms of writing in over 200 titles. Bunting's books remind writers and readers of the importance of telling stories. She leaves no stone unturned; ranging from light to dark, spooky to heartwarming. Everything has a place in her stories and all topics are presented with careful skill. Throughout her career she has written about latchkey children (Is Anybody There?), the Los Angeles riots (Smoky Night), miss-
ing skeletons (The Bones of Fred McFee), and the very timely story a father returning home from war (My Red Balloon). She has captured both the tragic and the quirky moments of childhood in an array of cultures. Painful moments always come with a symbol of hope supporting them such as in One Candle (2002) and Gleam and Glow (2001). In One Candle, a simple potato becomes a way to commemorate celebrating Hanukkah at Büchenwald concentration camp, reminding readers of the importance of retaining traditions and histories. Based on a tue story, Gleam and Glow is an account of a family in Bosnia-Herzegovina who must leave their home and their two pond goldfish. The family returns to find their home destroyed but the pond full of fish, demonstrating that life goes on and can move forward despite ruination. Symbols are not lacking in Bunting's lighter stories either. In A Picnic in October (1999), a family's annual visit to Ellis Island for their grandmother's birthday is a time to relate the importance of the Statue of Liberty to immigrants. A Picnic in October also has one of the many moments that show how well Bunting understands children's behavior. In the story one child is polite and helpful to a non-English speaking family but then, in true child-like fashion, subsequently pretends to vomit over the boat's railing and spits into the wind with his cousin. Bunting's attention to the details of childhood, her consideration of hope, and use of emotionally powerful and concise language are important facets that allow her to successfully address so many different and challenging types of material. Her genuine, straightforward style can make unfamiliar topics seem like universal knowledge. Eve Bunting is simply the kind of writer that others aspire to be, and for this she is honored with the 2007 Southern Miss Medallion.

2007 Speakers LEE BENNETT HOPKINS
As a child of a working-class family in post-depression America, Lee Bennett Hopkins acquired the fiery independence that would inspire his interest in education and writing. Hopkins was born in Scranton, Pa., in 1938 but moved to Newark, N.J., at the age of 10 where he helped his divorced mother raise his younger siblings. He worked two, sometimes three, jobs while going to school, receiving a bachelor's degree at the Newark State Teacher's College in 1960 and a master's degree and Professional Diploma in Education Supervision in 1967. Throughout his education, he worked as a teacher at public schools in Fairlawn, N.J., and later as a consultant at the Bank Street College of Education. In 1968, he began working as an editor at Scholastic Magazines. He left this position in 1976 to write and edit fulltime. In 1980, Keats College awarded him an honorary doctorate. Hopkins has written his own poetry and novels as well as classroom instructional aids, but he is best known for his poetry anthologies, of which there are more than 60 volumes. Through his experience as an educator, Hopkins became an advocate for poetry as an essential tool in the classroom. His anthologies feature both contemporary and classic poets and offer children accessible and enjoyable poems that often revolve around a single theme such as sports or holidays. As a teacher, poet and lecturer, he has been celebrated worldwide. He won the Christopher Book Award in 1996 for his autobiographical Been to Yesterdays: Poems of a Life. He is also the namesake for the prestigious Lee Bennett Hopkins Poetry Award for outstanding new poetry awarded by the Pennsylvania Center for the Book, and the Lee Bennett Hopkins Promising Poet Award from the International Reading Association. 7
RUSSELL FREEDMAN Russell Freedman grew up in San Francisco and began writing at an early age. He attended college at the University of California at Berkeley, graduating in 1951 with a Bachelor of Arts in English. After college he was drafted and spent three years in Korea. Upon his discharge, Freedman began working as a reporter and later a publicist for television programs. During this period, Freedman decided to try writing biographies, but his goal was more than simply rehashing the details of a person's life. Instead, he attempted to bring to life the complicated historical worlds of his subjects and make his nonfiction as lively and interesting as fiction. He has published almost 50 books for children and young adults, with subjects ranging from Indian chiefs to presidents. Among his many honors are the 2005 Sibert Medal for The Voice that Challenged a Nation: Marian Anderson and the Struggle for Equal Rights, the 1998 Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal, and delivering the 2006 May Hill Arbuthnot Honor lecture. Most recently his book Freedom Walkers: The Story of the Montgomery Bus Boycott was named a 2007 ALA Best Book For Young Adults. The crowning achievement of Freedman's career is no doubt his 1988 Newbery Medal for his pioneering work, Lincoln: A Photobiography. This work influenced the entire genre of nonfiction for children and became one of only a handful of nonfiction books to be awarded this honor.
JANET STEVENS An award-winning illustrator, Janet Stevens was born in Dallas, Texas, to a military family. As such, she moved with her family numerous times and was exposed to many different cultures as a child. She believes that her passion for art grew from this nomadic lifestyle. The youngest of three children, Stevens describes her brother and sister as "very smart." She says, "I did not do as well as they did in math or reading, but I was best at drawing." Though she did not believe her work was remarkable as a child, she has since gone on to win awards for her charming characters and engaging animal illustrations. After graduating from college, Stevens worked in a variety of graphics positions, including designing Hawaiian textile prints. When she showed her original drawings to industry experts, she was told that her artwork was well-suited for children's books. In 1978 she was offered her first contract to illustrate the chapter headings and cover of a collection of holiday poems. She has been illustrating books for over 25 years, and her style of art has evolved during that time. She enjoys experimenting with new techniques and now incorporates computers into her illustrating process. Her books have been honored with numerous awards. And the Dish Ran Away with the Spoon (2001) is an American Library Association Notable Book, a New York Public Library 100 Best Books for Reading and Sharing, and was a Children's Book of the Month selection. Tops & Bottoms, which she adapted and illustrated, received a 1996 Caldecott Honor. An author as well as an illustrator, she has collaborated with her sister, Susan Stevens Crummel, on several books, such as Jackalope (2003) and Plaidypus Lost (2004). She is the illustrator of the Epossomundas tales and drew on Coleen Salley as the inspiration for Epossomundas' momma, as well as for the main character in To Market, To Market (2002). 8
56248_CBFProgram.indd 10-11
COLEEN SALLEY A beloved figure in the world of Mardi Gras, Queen Coleen, as she is known in New Orleans, is also a celebrated figure in the world of children's books. Salley graduated from Louisiana State University, and after a 30-year career of teaching at the University of New Orleans, she retired as a distinguished professor of children's literature. She is the winner of several awards for her professional accomplishments, most notably the Outstanding Undergraduate Teacher of the Year in 1972, the Distinguished Faculty Award, L.S.U. Alumni Association in 1983, and the Essae M. Culver Society Award from the Louisiana Library Association in 1989. Ms. Salley has traveled the world, spreading her joie de vivre as an ambassador of reading and oral tradition. She has made presentations in many foreign countries: China, Thailand, Egypt, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, and Canada to name a few. The author of three tales of Epossumondas, Coleen continues to delight readers of all ages with her stories and effervescent personality. She appears every year at the New Orleans Jazz Festival where she can be found telling stories in the Children's Tent. Her infectious personality captures readers and friends alike as she spreads the joy of reading and life to all those around her.
SCOTT COOK Scott Cook reflects that Tennyson's expression "I am a part of all I have met" describes his life. As a native Mississippian and current resident of Sandwich, Mass., he has had the advantage of educational opportunities from various regions of the country. Art lessons from childhood and his participation in little theater productions influenced the course of his formal education. He graduated from Mississippi College in 1974, and continued to study different forms of art, attending The Cape School of Art in Massachusetts, Frudakis Academy in Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Maine. These experiences have made him a teacher, artist, and illustrator of children's picture books. Cook has an impressive list of accomplishments. His first book, The Gingerbread Boy (1987), was a School Library Journal Best Book of the Year and a Booklist Editors' Choice. Nettie Jo's Friends (1989), written by Patricia McKissack, was Parenting Magazine Best Book of 1989. In 1990, he received a silver medal from the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators and was one of a handful of children's book artists chosen to represent the United States at the Bratislava Bienniale in Czechoslovakia. His art has been exhibited at Tiffany and Company New York City, including his Mother Goose and Frog marionettes. The cover of Cook's Mother Goose (1994) was featured in this exhibit, as were original paintings from Nettie Jo's Friends. With a Whoop and a Holler (1998) was a YALSA Notable Book and chosen for the Chicago Public Library Best of the Best List. Today, Cook enjoys working on landscapes and still-life paintings. He continues to travel to schools and conferences, displaying his art and sharing his love of illustrating with children and adults. 9
The Ezra Jack Keats Lecture Ezra Jack Keats (1916-1983) is internationally recognized as one of the most influential creators of picture books in the 20th century. He was author and illustrator of more than 20 books and provided the illustrations for an additional 63 titles in a distinguished career that spanned four decades. The Caldecottwinning The Snowy Day (Viking, 1962) was revolutionary by sympathetically dealing with the experiences of an African-American child. This multi-racial and urban world was beautifully reflected in many of his other books. Although comfortable and adept with many mediums, Keats is justly remembered as a true master of collage. His technique of using such favorite characters as Peter, Louie, and Willie in a series of stories is just one reason why the stories of Ezra Jack Keats continue to be loved by children of all ages. The University of Southern Mississippi is very proud that Ezra Jack Keats was the 12th recipient of the Southern Miss Medallion for outstanding contributions to children's literature. In 1985, the Ezra Jack Keats Foundation established the Ezra Jack Keats Lectureship at the annual Children's Book Festival. Since then, the lectures have been given by the following distinguished individuals:

The Fay B. Kaigler-Ruth Lamont Award
director of Harper's Department of Books for Boys and Girls for more than 30 years. He has also assumed the responsibility of documenting children's literary and artistic history in Side by Side: Five Picture-Book Teams Go to Work (2001), Pass It Down: Five Picture-Book Families Make Their Mark (2007); and in The Wand in the Word: Conversations with Writers of Fantasy (2006). In addition to profiles of prominent figures in children's literature and publishing, Marcus has also contributed children's books of his own. His latest effort, Oscar: the Big Adventure of a Little Sock Monkey (2006), won the 2007 Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Best Book Award. Marcus has been a contributing editor to Parenting magazine since 1988 and directed the Parenting Best Book of the Year Awards for almost 20 years. He is the literary director of the Night Kitchen Radio Theater and a founding trustee of the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art. He and his wife, author Amy Schwartz, have one son, Jacob. They live in Brooklyn, N.Y.
The first presentation of the Kaigler-Lamont Award was made in 1998. The generous financial support of Fay Kaigler of McComb, Miss., has made the award possible. Miss Kaigler is well-known for her love of children and devoted herself for many years as an elementary school teacher to enhancing books and reading in the lives of children. Her students were soon hooked on books. In retirement, she continues to promote books and reading in her local public library. Her dear friend, Ruth Lamont, who for many years was a successful school librarian in Baton Rouge, La., shares her passion for making books integral to children's lives.

LEONARD MARCUS Born in Mount Vernon, N. Y., Leonard Marcus believes that he has always been a writer. While on researching the effects of literature on children throughout history, his attention turned to the illustrations found in picture books. He realized then that the best children's book illustrations are wonderful works of art, worthy of the highest regard. He has since spent his career critiquing, researching, and recording the history of children's publishing. Marcus has been a well-regarded critic and historian of children's publishing for many years. Starting with Margaret Wise Brown: Awakened by the Moon (1992), he has offered intriguing glimpses into the minds of some of the most notable and creative figures in children's literature. A Caldecott Celebration: Six Artists and Their Paths to the Caldecott Medal (1998) is based on interviews with Robert McCloskey, Marcia Brown, Maurice Sendak, William Steig, Chris Van Allsburg, and David Wiesner. He compiled and edited the letters of Ursula Nordstrom in Dear Genius (1998), a history of the visionary 10

The de Grummond Children's Literature Collection The de Grummond Children's Literature Collection is one of North America's leading research centers in the field of children's literature. While the collection has many strengths, the main focus is on American and British children's literature, historical as well as contemporary. The collection holds original materials and published works in the McCain Library and Archives on the Hattiesburg campus of The University of Southern Mississippi. The collection is named for Dr. Lena Y. de Grummond, who founded the collection in 1966. She assembled materials that were sent by contributors from around the world. More than 1,200 artists, illustrators, and collectors have generously donated books and original materials to the collection. A major acquisition is that of the Ezra Jack Keats collection. The original artwork, typescripts, dummies, and preliminary sketches for 36 books by the Caldecott Award-winning author/illustrator complement the archives of his personal and professional papers already housed in the de Grummond Collection. Please visit the de Grummond exhibit room located on the 2nd floor of Cook Library, which contains highlights from the de Grummond Children's Literature Collection as well as from the past 40 years of the Fay B. Kaigler Children's Book Festival. Collection curator Ellen Ruffin will be presenting gallery talks in the exhibit room Wednesday, March 28 from 4:30 to 5 p.m. and Friday, March 30 from 10 to 11:30 a.m.

The History of the Children's Book Festival at The University of Southern Mississippi In 1968, Dr. Warren Tracy, chairman of the Library Science Department and university librarian for The University of Southern Mississippi, saw his vision for a children's literature conference come to life. The university, under the leadership of Dr. William D. McCain, and the Library Science department hosted the Conference on the Writing, Illustrating, and Publishing of Children's Books, the first of what soon became the annual Children's Book Festival. Two years earlier, Dr. Lena de Grummond, professor of Library Science, with Dr. Tracy's blessing, had begun to procure early children's books to support the Library Science program. She spent countless hours writing to authors and illustrators of contemporary children's books to acquire original material for the library. Contributions of artwork and manuscripts flowed in from across the United States and Canada. Today, more than 1,200 authors and illustrators are represented in the de Grummond Children's Literature Collection. In his original vision for a children's literature conference, Dr. Tracy saw the conference as a way to highlight the de Grummond Collection. That first conference in May 1968 was designed to announce the opening of the special children's literature collection. Librarians, teachers, parents, and other adults interested in promoting children's literature were invited for three days of exhibits, workshops, and panel discussions led by publishers and editors of children's books. Dr. Francis Lander Spain, past president of the American Library Association and former head of the children's department of the New York Public Library, spoke at the first evening session, which was open to the public. In 1969, the conference became known as the "Children's Book Festival" and included an event that became an honored tradition – presentation of The University of Southern Mississippi Medallion, an award for distinguished service in the field of children's literature. A committee of professionals associated with children's literature selects the recipient each year. Unique among literary prizes, the medallion is awarded for an individual's total body of work, rather than for one particular work, and each medallion is different. Cast in silver for the recipient and for permanent display in the de Grummond Collection and in bronze for wider distribution, a profile of the honoree is engraved on the face, or obverse, of the medallion, and an illustration from the honoree's work is engraved on the reverse side. Since the first award to author Lois Lenski at the Second Annual Children's Book Festival, the Southern Miss Medallion has been presented to an outstanding array of children's authors and illustrators. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the festival came into its own. Dr. Tracy continued to attract outof-state writers and illustrators, enhancing the festival's reputation. From 1977 to 1980, Dr. Onva K. Boshears served as director of the festival. Dr. Jeannine Laughlin-Porter assumed the directorship in 1980. That was the year Ezra Jack Keats, internationally acclaimed author and illustrator for children, was invited to accept the Southern Miss Medallion. Following his visit, Keats became one of the strongest supporters of the Children's Book Festival and the de Grummond Collection. Since his death, the university has acquired his personal and professional papers, original artwork, typescripts, and dummies and preliminary sketches for 36 of his books. The materials are now housed in the de Grummond Collection. In 1985, the Keats Foundation established an Ezra Jack Keats lectureship, with Barbara Cooney as the artist honoree and Brian Alderson as the first Keats lecturer. In years since, the lecture has become a highly regarded feature of the festival. Children's Authors Speak, a collection of speeches compiled by Dr. Laughlin-Porter and Sherry Laughlin, was published in 1993 and includes a number of Keats lectures, as well as speeches by Southern Miss Medallion honorees. 18
56248_CBFProgram.indd 20-21
Dr. Boshears, during Dr. Laughlin-Porter's directorship of the festival, continued to work closely with her and chaired the Medallion Selection Committee through spring 1993. In 1994, he resumed directorship of the festival and continued as director until his retirement in 2001. Dr. Rosemary Chance, an assistant professor in the School of Library and Information Science, became the director of the festival in 2002. Upon Dr. Chance's retirement in 2004, Dr. Catharine Bomhold became the director of the Fay B. Kaigler Children's Book Festival. In 1998, Miss Fay B. Kaigler, a retired elementary school teacher and native Mississippian, generously funded the first Kaigler-Lamont Award to be given for distinguished service to children by a librarian or teacher. On December 5, 2001, the festival was renamed in honor of Miss Kaigler, who contributed a planned gift to the festival in excess of $1.1 million. Miss Kaigler, a longtime supporter of the festival and the university, taught in the public schools of California and Mississippi for 33 years, instilling the importance of reading in her students. She first attended the festival at the invitation of her friend Ruth Lamont a children's librarian from Baton Rouge. Over the years the two traveled to Hattiesburg each spring to participate in the festival. Although she is a graduate of Louisiana State University, Miss Kaigler's love of reading and children drew her to Southern Miss through the festival. Her gift to the university will continue the festival's tradition of encouraging writers to strive for excellence in children's literature and of providing information to teachers and librarians. From its modest beginning of 100 participants, the Children's Book Festival has grown to hundreds of participants representing 22 states. Originally organized to promote the de Grummond Collection, the festival has come into its own. Both the festival and the de Grummond Collection continue to evolve together for the advancement of children's literature, and, year after year, enthusiastic supporters of children's literature come together to celebrate the joy of children's books.

Home Stadium
– Azul Arena
Team Colours
– Navy Blue, Gold
Head Coach
– Kadrin Ironboot
Team Motto
– T'dr'duzk b'hazg t't! (Today Is A Good Day For Someone Else To Die!)
While the Runic Wonders are new to the RIBBL, the franchise had been running for years near Karak Azul. As part of an exclusive deal to move the team to Karak Hirn, King Alrik has agreed to maintain the team's traditional blue uniform and the grim faced fixture of Wonders' head coach, Kadrin Ironboot. Despite needing to start with a new squad rumours indicate that he will continue to work to his previously established tactical strengths.
Following the failure of their experimental Dungeonbowl arena, and subsequent loss of their own team, 'the Engineers', the local Guild of Engineers have spared no expense when it comes to the construction and equipping of the new Azul Arena. Their finest stonemasons were heavily involved on designing the imposing exterior facade, replete with numerous carvings intended to invoke the favours of Grimnir, Grungni and Valaya. Inside the ground is no less ambitious, with repurposed Organ Guns deployed to fire team-themed smoke into the air as the teams emerge from their changing rooms – and occasionally to break up rioting fans. Following discussions with league officials the Guild has constructed an astrogranite play surface – a strategic decision which seems to play to the Wonders' strengths of applying significant amounts of violence to any given situation.
While relatively recent additions to the RIBBL the Wonders have already made a name for themselves with decisive victories against the Cutthroats and Thagomizers. Star Runner Arnor Atlason has already made a name for himself becoming the central cog in the Wonder's bruising offence, closely followed by controversial team captain, Troll Slayer, Logan who is never far from the heart of the action.

One of the most crucial professional makeup techniques is to consider your complete face while planning to use the shade. Remember to match up your makeup with your features. The best techniques to follow while doing a professional make up are blending, shadowing and highlighting. Let us explore more and learn in details about these techniques of a professional makeup.
Blending is time consuming and for every step of a good makeup, you need to blend whatever cosmetics you choose to apply carefully. There shouldn't be any kind of spiky disconnections or noticeable discriminations on your face. Hence, for a plain blending, you need to use a wet sponge which can merge with concealer as well as the foundation.
Shadowing is the most fundamental technique of any theatrical makeup. Skilled shadowing can essentially change the shape of your face. If you are thinking of shadowing for everyday wear then it is suggested to take complete training from the cosmetician from where you buy the shadow. Wrong shadowing can make you look like patches-of-plaster. It takes years to develop the expertise in you, hence it is best recommended to take proper trainings for shadowing or allow a professional artist to do it for your on daily basis. However, if you are well versed with the principles of makeup techniques then I am sure you would be able to grasp the shadowing techniques as soon as possible.
Highlighting is just the opposite of shadowing. It is a cream or liquid based cosmetic that is about three shades lighter than your usual makeup base to serve as a specific identification on your temples, cheeks, under-eye and also nose. By applying a highlight on your nose, you can actually make it look straighter than how it basically is. However, you should know the proper techniques of highlighting as well, as it requires perfect blending without leaving any kind of noticeable separations.
Other Makeup Techniques
- Eye Makeup
There are two main techniques of applying an eye makeup - rounded and winged. Winged shading is suitable for the ones whose skin is not sagging near the corner of eyes. Round shading works if you have a sagging skin near your eyes. For winged look, apply the highlighter eye shadow across the lid and sweep a medium shade on the top of the lid. For round shading, sweep a highlighter eye shadow shade across your eyelid and then apply a medium shade on the lid by smudging it at the lower end.
- Cheeks
Choose a light colored shade of blush to complement your skin tone. Blush comes in browns, pinks and peach shades. Blush should be applied on your cheeks to add definition.
- Lips
Apply foundation and face powder on the lips as a base. This will help your lipstick to stay for longer. Draw an outline with a similar lipstick shade or a shade that is a bit darker than your chosen lipstick shade. Remember, do not outline with a darker shade and fill the lightest one inside. Wear the lipstick within the liner and blot it with a tissue for a matte finish or can apply gloss for a glossy appearance.
These professional makeup techniques would help you know the right combination of makeup that suits your skin tone. It's worth trying them out.
