My Nonprofit Reviews
Isabella L.
Review for YouthCare, Seattle, WA, USA
My friend and I volunteered for dinner, it was an excellent experience. Preparing and serving meals for homeless youth is not only fun, but also meaningful. Staff at YouthCare are awesome, they are very enthusiastic and patient toward the youth. I had a great conversation with Jack, the Community Outreach Meal Coordinator. I believe that far beyond providing meals and shelters, this program is also teaching those youth about love and responsibility.
More Feedback
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Offer various and more nutritious foods for the youth.
Would you volunteer for this group again?

Abductions by strangers may garner the most attention, but the bigger threat is more likely to come from next door or in your own family.
Crime wasn't an issue in tiny Benton, the southern Illinois town where Regina Freeman grew up.
"Two murders in 20 years," Freeman says wistfully, and one of them was the result of a drunken brawl.
The other, she says, was committed by the unlikeliest of suspects: a friendly young man who lived near the local middle school and handed out candy to boys and girls passing by on their way home.
The man, Rodney Barnhill, sexually assaulted and strangled a 12-year-old girl from Freeman's school and left her body in an abandoned home. Barnhill was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
As awful as it was, the incident didn't deter Freeman and her friends from exploring their small town. They continued to venture far from home to visit friends or the corner store, out of sight of parents.
Now 39 and a mother of two preschoolers in Gainesville, Freeman ponders the dangers her children face and doubts they'll have the same freedom to roam that she did as they get older.
There is no doubt in her mind that the world in 2009 is a more dangerous place to be a child.
For her, incidents like the disappearance of Haleigh Cummings from her home near Palatka and the abductions of Jessica Lunsford in Citrus County and Carlie Brucia in Sarasota are sobering reminders that predators lurk everywhere.
"It was nothing for me to walk five or six blocks to the store," she says. "Nowadays, I say there's no way my child is walking five or six blocks anywhere."
But Freeman's fear belies two important facts that experts have known for years.
First, violent crimes against children have declined steadily over the past generation. The U.S. Department of Justice reports that 81 out of every 1,000 children between the ages of 12 and 15 were victims of violent crime in 1973, compared with 44 out of 1,000 in 2005.
And, second, the worst of those crimes - kidnappings, rapes and murders - are being committed not by strangers hunting innocents but by family members, neighbors or trusted adults the family knows.
In fact, the kidnappings of Carlie and Jessica by complete strangers, while terrifyingly sinister, are fairly rare events, representing only about one in every 2,900 abduction cases.
The most recent survey of kidnapping data conducted in 2002 for the U.S. Justice Department revealed that of the roughly 261,000 children who are abducted each year, the vast majority (203,900) are taken by a family member - often in a custody dispute - and just 90 to 115 are victims of "stereotypical kidnappings" like Carlie and Jessica.
A stereotypical kidnapping, according to the survey, known as the National Incidence Studies of Missing, Abducted, Runaway and Thrownaway Children (NISMART), is committed by a stranger or slight acquaintance. In these cases, the child is kept overnight, transported at least 50 miles, held for ransom, abducted with the intention of keeping the child permanently, or killed.
The remaining 58,000 or so abductions that occur annually are known as "nonfamily abductions," which occur when someone other than the child's family detains the child for a short period of time.
To many law enforcement agencies, these don't even qualify as abductions because the act of detaining the child is incidental to the primary crime, usually sexual abuse.
Often, the perpetrators of nonfamily abductions are people in a position of trust: neighbors, Scout leaders, friends of the family or even clergy.
That was the case with 13-year-old Sarah Lunde of Tampa, who was abducted and murdered in April 2005 by David Lee Onstott.
Onstott had been in a relationship with the girl's mother.
Yet the idea of a child being dragged off to be tortured, raped and murdered by a stranger is so terrifying and so well reported in the news media that parents, educators, even law enforcement officers and politicians, have accepted as fact that stranger abductions are more commonplace than they actually are.
"Those are the ones that capture the public's imagination, and they should because they're awful" says Jim Beasley, supervisory special agent for the FBI and a specialist in crimes against children. "But because they hear the story told over and over, people tend to forget that this is the same incident."
But who are these kidnappers? The FBI and researchers have spent a great deal of time looking for answers.
Unlike run-of-the-mill child molesters who don't fit a single profile, true child abductors share many traits, Beasley says.
They are, in overwhelming numbers, male. They tend to abduct children of their own race. They are loners who have trouble forging and maintaining stable relationships because they have below-average social skills. When they abduct children, it's almost always for sexual gratification.
And their crimes are generally committed on impulse, Beasley says. While the child molester works at gaining his victim's trust and has a plan for releasing them, the kidnapper often finds himself in a situation that is spinning out of control, panics and kills the child within hours of the abduction.
This creates a quandary for law enforcement, Beasley says. They must treat kidnappings as stranger abductions and launch an intense search in hopes of recovering the child quickly, but also focus intently on the more likely culprits: family, friends and acquaintances.
David Finkelhor, co-author of the NISMART report on missing children, says the danger in drawing so much public attention to relatively uncommon stranger abductions is that parents, law enforcement and politicians may fail to see the greater threat living next door or sitting in the family tree.
"It's hard for us to simultaneously trust those people in our social networks and be on guard against them," Finkelhor said. "It doesn't come as easily as girding yourself against the unknown predator."
Ernie Allen, president of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, agrees. The center has worked in recent years to retool the stranger-danger method of identifying predators taught in schools and in homes and broaden the public's definition of kidnapper and child molester.
Allen said various studies show that children associate the word "stranger" with someone who is menacing in appearance, leaving them vulnerable to predators who are familiar or appear kindly.
"The message to not take candy from strangers is not a bad message, but it's incomplete," Allen said, "because the people who really represent the greatest threat to our children are not going to be identified by our children as a stranger."
The more effective strategy, he said, is to teach children what behaviors by adults are inappropriate.
Freeman, the Gainesville mother of two, is already working on that. Beyond the usual prohibitions against getting in cars with strangers and letting adults touch their bodies, she is trying to nurture her children's instinct to "trust your belly."
And while Freeman's overreactions amuse her husband - she was ready to dial 911 recently when her son hid from her at bedtime even though all the windows and doors were locked - she makes no apologies for her protective nature.
"I think it's better to be safe than sorry," she said, "I'd rather know that I've done everything I could possibly do to protect them."

China acts as killer virus takes heavy toll in West Africa, reports Shan Juan in Beijing.
China is on guard against the Ebola virus and well prepared to respond to any threat from it, health officials say as global concerns mount over the outbreak in West Africa.
Dong Xiaoping, deputy director of the emergency response division at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said the nation is far from the areas affected and there are no direct flights to these countries.
"The possibility of Ebola entering China remains remote, although it does exist," Dong said. "But a mass outbreak in China can be ruled out, given the capacity for responding to it here."
The latest Ebola outbreak, the largest of its kind and the first in West Africa, has claimed more than 1,000 lives in four countries.
Last week, the World Health Organization declared the epidemic a "public health emergency of international concern".
Dong said, "If there are isolated cases, we will be capable of 'contact tracing' and further stopping the spread of the virus."
Healthcare professionals and hospitals also stand ready to treat patients and carry out infection control measures if the need arises, he said.
Ebola virus disease is one of the world's most virulent diseases. The infection is transmitted by direct contact with the blood, body fluids and tissues of infected animals or people.
The latest outbreak, which started in February in Guinea in West Africa, has since spread to neighboring Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Nigeria, whose health systems are too weak to handle the scourge.
The WHO warned that the possible consequences of any global spread of Ebola are serious in view of its virulence and has called for a coordinated international response to stop and reverse any such potentiality.
Response plan in place
China's top health authority, the National Health and Family Planning Commission, issued an Ebola hemorrhagic fever response plan on July 31.
Under the plan, local medical institutions must use an online system to report any confirmed or suspected Ebola cases directly to the commission within two hours. The requirement makes it one of the most stringent of its kind involving infectious diseases.
Other key information provided cover clinical symptoms, virus screening and even the disposal of the bodies of infected victims.
"The Ebola response plan has been distributed among all stakeholders, including the health, transportation and customs departments," said Song Shuli, the commission's spokeswoman.
Song said the response includes checks and preparations in bio-safety and security that involved mass events like the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
The country already has in place action plans to deal with Ebola, even though there have been no outbreaks of it nor sample virus strains for research, she said.
He Xiong, deputy director of the Beijing CDC, agreed.
"A sound health emergency preparedness plan enabled by multidepartment collaboration is in place in China as a legacy of the country's response to major threats like SARS in 2003," He said.

BRUSSELS, March 19 (UPI) -- EU officials discussed confidence-building measures with Iranian representatives in Turkey, a spokesman for the EU policy chief said.
EU nuclear expert Stephan Klement met with Iranian officials in Istanbul on Iran's nuclear program.
Michael Mann, a spokesman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, said Klement had the chance to address "a number of technical subjects" with Iranian officials.
EU policy experts "provided further details on the revised confidence-building proposal put forward to Iran" during February meetings in Kazakhstan, Mann said in a statement.
Negotiations between Iran, the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council and Germany are scheduled for April in Kazakhstan.
Iran is suspected of pursuing the technology needed to manufacture a nuclear weapon, an allegation Tehran denies. The government described last month's multilateral nuclear negotiations in Kazakhstan as positive, though no breakthroughs were announced.
The statement from Mann provided few details about the proposals. No indication of Iran's reaction to the Istanbul meetings was given.
U.S. President Barack Obama issued a statement to Iran on the occasion of Nowruz, the Iranian New Year.
"Now is the time for the Iranian government to take immediate and meaningful steps to reduce tensions and work toward an enduring, long-term settlement of the nuclear issue," Obama said.

How the Ford Model T Came to be…
The Ford Motor Company manufactured its first car – the Model A – in 1903. By 1906, the Model N was in production but Ford had not yet achieved his goal of producing a simple, affordable car. He would accomplish this with the Model T. Charles Sorensen – who had joined Henry Ford two years earlier – describes how Ford had him set up a secret room where design of the new car would be carried out:
"Early one morning in the winter of 1906-7, Henry Ford dropped in at the pattern department of the Piquette Avenue plant to see me. 'Come with me, Charlie,' he said, 'I want to show you something.'
I followed him to the third floor and its north end, which was not fully occupied for assembly work. He looked about and said, 'Charlie, I'd like to have a room finished off right here in this space. Put up a wall with a door in big enough to run a car in and out. Get a good lock for the door, and when you're ready, we'll have Joe Galamb come up in here. We're going to start a completely new job.'
The room he had in mind became the maternity ward for Model T.
It took only a few days to block off the little room on the third floor back of the Piquette Avenue plant and to set up a few simple power tools and Joe Galamb's two blackboards. The blackboards were a good idea. They gave a king-sized drawing which, when all initial refinements had been made, could be photographed for two purposes: as a protection against patent suits attempting to prove prior claim to originality and as a substitute for blueprints. A little more than a year later Model T, the product of that cluttered little room, was announced to the world. But another half year passed before the first Model T was ready for what had already become a clamorous market…
The summer before, Mr. Ford told me to block off the experimental room for Joe Galamb, a momentous event occurred which would affect the entire automotive industry. The first heat of vanadium steel in the country was poured at the United Steel Company's plant in Canton, Ohio.
Early that year we had several visits from J. Kent Smith, a noted English metallurgist from a country which had been in the forefront of steel development…
Ford, Wills, and I listened to him and examined his data. We had already read about this English vanadium steel. It had a tensile strength nearly three times that of steels we were using, but we'd never seen it. Smith demonstrated its toughness and showed that despite its strength it could be machined more easily than plain steel. Immediately Mr. Ford sensed the great possibilities of this shock-resisting steel. 'Charlie,' he said to me after Smith left, 'this means entirely new design requirements, and we can get a better, lighter, and cheaper car as a result of it.'
It was the great common sense that Mr. Ford could apply to new ideas and his ability to simplify seemingly complicated problems that made him the pioneer he was. This demonstration of vanadium steel was the deciding point for him to begin the experimental work that resulted in Model T…
Actually it took four years and more to develop Model T. Previous models were the guinea pigs, one might say, for experimentation and development of a car which would realize Henry Ford's dream of a car which anyone could afford to buy, which anyone could drive anywhere, and which almost anyone could keep in repair. Many of the world's greatest mechanical discoveries were accidents in the course of other experimentation. Not so Model T, which ushered in the motor transport age and set off a chain reaction of machine production now known as automation. All our experimentation at Ford in the early days was toward a fixed and, then wildly fantastic goal.
By March, 1908, we were ready to announce Model T, but not to produce it, On October 1 of that year the first car was introduced to the public. From Joe Galamb's little room on the third floor had come a revolutionary vehicle. In the next eighteen years, out of Piquette Avenue, Highland Park, River Rouge, and from assembly plants all over the United States came 15,000,000 more."

TRIBUTES have been paid to Angus Fairhurst, one of the original Young British Artists who came to prominence in the 1990s, who has apparently committed suicide at the age of 41.
Fairhurst is thought to have taken his own life on Saturday, the same day as his last show closed, while walking in woodland in the picturesque spot of the Bridge of Orchy, in Argyll, Scotland.
The Kent-born artist studied art at Goldsmiths College in the 1980s, where he formed a lasting friendship and artistic collaboration with fellow students Damien Hirst and Sarah Lucas.
He was instrumental in organising the Freeze exhibition in 1988, which launched the careers of many of the Britart stars, and exhibited at the Apocalypse contemporary art show at the Royal Academy in 2000.
He subsequently exhibited in galleries and museums around the world and in 2004 had work shown with Hirst and Lucas in In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida at Tate Britain.
Critics have described his fascination with gorillas in cartoon depictions and small clay models as "utterly magnificent", but Fairhurst's art has also been described as "frustratingly slight".
Many of his works consisted of practical jokes.
Gallery Connections, in which he networked together the phones of galleries in London so that they were unwittingly speaking to each other, remains on show at Tate Britain.
A spokeswoman for the artist said: "It is with great sadness that we report the death of British artist Angus Fairhurst who tragically took his own life on Saturday March 29, 2008 whilst on a remote walk in Scotland.
"The family of Angus Fairhurst have asked that their privacy be respected at this time of such devastating loss."
Hirst said: "He was a great artist and a great friend, he always supported me, in fair weather and foul, he shone like the moon and as an artist he had just the right amount of slightly round the bend. I loved him."
Lucas, who had a relationship with Fairhurst, said: "Angus was a lovely man. Funny and kind. Very much loved by all his friends. Very much loved by me."
Tate director Sir Nicholas Serota said: "Angus Fairhurst was always deprecating about his own talent, but he made some of the most engaging, witty and perceptive works of his generation and was an enormously influential friend of other British artists who came to prominence in the early Nineties. We shall all miss him greatly."
Tate Britain director Stephen Deuchar said: "Angus's death is tragic loss to British art.
"He was a brilliantly inventive, witty and provocative artist, always modest about his fundamentally important contribution to the soaring international reputation of British art since the 1990s."
Fairhurst's London representatives, Sadie Coles HQ, where his exhibition closed on Saturday, said: "Angus was funny, ridiculously charming, a wonderful cook and great host, a crazy dancer, a radical gardener, a nature lover, and an intensely intelligent artist.
"He was a dear friend to numerous other artists and had a huge number of close friends from all walks of life. We will all miss his love and kindness."
A spokeswoman for Strathclyde police said: "The body of a 41-year-old man was found within woodland near Inveroran cottage in Bridge of Orchy at around 4pm on Saturday March 29.
"A post-mortem will be carried out to establish the cause of death, however at this time there appears to be no suspicious circumstances."

The seeds were from berries that had been in the freezer, from the rabbiteye blueberry bushes in the front yard. When the house was smashed by the tree this past summer, the berries probably experienced more freeze/thaw cycles than were good for the seeds' eventual ability to germinate.
The baby plants are super-tiny, with stems thinner than sewing thread and cotyledons sized to match. For the rest of the winter, these will grow fairly slowly, and I will be keeping them under flourescent lights, repotting as necessary, until the weather moderates enough that they can go outside. Then, as many as there are will go into a "nursery bed" outside until they are big enough to pot up for sharing. One of the great things about gardening is that I get to see everyday miracles like the one of such tiny plants growing to become full-sized bushes!
To separate the seeds from the blueberry pulp, I followed instructions from University of Maine's Cooperative Extension, which has published a very useful "how to" called "Growing Blueberries from Seed."
I started these seeds as part of my "eHow" adventure. This is the video about how to plant the seeds:
Since the winter garden is slowing down, and the weather has turned decidedly colder, I am very happy to have some new plants to tend indoors.
I hope that everyone else's winter-garden adventures are going well!

Properties and Benefits of Shallots: A thinner, slightly more elongated type of onion, the shallot (Allium ascalonicum) is a good source of vitamins A, C and B6 and boasts a higher dietary mineral content compared to its relative, the average onion. Being a member of the Allium cepa species, the vegetable displays specific characteristics. For instance, regular consumption of shallots has impressive anti-mutagenic properties as well as cholesterol, blood pressure and blood glucose-lowering effects.
What are shallots and how are they different from regular onions? I am fairly certain many of us have wondered, at one point in our lives, what is all this fuss with shallots. After all, they're onions. To be fair, shallots are a type of onion, but differ themselves from their relative in terms of appearance, taste as well as nutritional and antioxidant profile.
They are sometimes easily confused with garlic while in the ground due to the fact that they both grow in clusters and have thin, green stems. Just the same, their bulbs can be confused with regular onions due to looking pretty much the same. However, shallots are considered superior to regular onions as far as taste and nutrient profile are concerned.
So what do shallots look like? Shallots grow in clusters like garlic. They have long, thin, green tops with bulbs slightly smaller and more elongated than onion bulbs. Their elongated, sometimes pointy shape is more or less pronounced depending on the variety. Skin color may range from golden brown or copper to rose red or gray while the white flesh is sometimes tinged with magenta. However, most shallot varieties have a coppery skin.
What do shallots taste like? Uncooked shallots have a more savory, slightly stronger (not pungent) flavor than regular onions which is why it is recommended to only use half of the amount you would normally use when cooking with regular onions. Cooked shallots have a milder, somewhat sweeter taste than onions and a fading hint of garlic. If onions make you sick to the stomach, you can easily substitute them for shallots. If you are onion intolerant, remember to always cook both regular onions and shallots. Slow cooking usually makes shallots as well as their relatives easier on the stomach.
What are shallots good for? Here are 6 impressive nutrition facts and health benefits of shallots:
1) Richer in nutrients than onions. More exactly, shallots have significantly more folate, pyridoxine, vitamins A and C, phosphorus, manganese, copper, iron and potassium compared to regular onions. As a result, eating them on a regular basis can improve one's nutrient intake as well as general state of health. For instance, shallots provide 35% of the RDA of vitamin A per 100 g. Vitamin A is known to help maintain good eyesight and support immunity. For more information on vitamins and minerals, you can go to this page.
2) Excellent antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties. Like the Alliaceae genus members, shallots contain an organosulfur called allicin that is released when they are either chopped, gratted or crushed. Allicin was shown to possess antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties to which it owes its immunoprotective effects.
3) Highly protective of cardiovascular health. Allicin, the organosulfur compound in shallots, is responsible for the benefits of shallot on cardiovascular health. More exactly, allicin inhibits the formation of platelet clots in blood vessels, reducing overall coronary heart disease, peripheral vascular disease and stroke risks. In addition to this, it reduces blood vessel rigidity and blood pressure by causing the release of nitric oxide, a potent natural vasodilator.
4) Cholesterol-lowering effects. According to research in the field, allicin inhibits the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme in liver cells and thus helps lower cholesterol levels. However, allicin is only produced at the moment of crushing, cutting, etc. which means that shallots (and garlic) should be eaten raw, provided of course you are not intolerant or sensitive to them. Soon after, allicin in converted into other less effective active compounds.
5) Excellent blood sugar-lowering effects. Allicin, the biologically active compound in shallots, has been shown to normalize blood sugar (glucose) levels. For this reason, eating shallots and especially garlic is said to help prevent and contribute to the management of prediabetes as well as diabetes.
6) Great source of antioxidants. Shallots have been found to be a rich source of polyphenols and flavonoids with excellent antioxidant activity such as quercetin, kaempferol and sulfur compounds such as diallyl disulfide, diallyl trisulfide, allyl and allicin. Antioxidants protect against oxidative stress and damage to cells and DNA that can lead to mutations and cancer.
Shallots are now available year round and relatively affordable. Seen they are more nutritious than regular onions and less pungent, they make a savory substitute for them. Although they are extensively used in Asian cuisine, they are highly versatile and can be added to numerous recipes instead of onions. They can be stored in the same way as garlic or onions and are best used fresh. However, moderate consumption is in order because eating large amounts at once may cause heartburn, painful cramps or upset your stomach.

Artist: Anonymous, Bohemian, 15th century
Date: ca. 1405–10
Medium: Watercolor on vellum
Dimensions: sheet: 3 9/16 x 2 3/4 in. (9.1 x 7 cm)
Classification: Drawings
Credit Line: Purchase, several members of The Chairman's Council and Jean A. Bonna Gifts, 2010
Accession Number: 2010.119
The refinement of the International Gothic Style and the flowering of the visual arts in Prague at the court of Emperor Charles IV and his successors are both apparent in this sheet, which is among the few drawings of this period to have survived. Most of these drawings are likely to have once been part of pattern books, which artists kept in their workshops to provide them with models for paintings and illuminations. This drawing, one of the most outstanding of its kind and apparently unique in its use of color, probably served as a model for representations of the Virgin. Its style has been linked to a sheet (now in the Cleveland Museum of Art) from the so-called Seitenstetten Antiphonary, made for a Bohemian monastery about 1405, and it can be attributed to an artist active in the workshop that produced that manuscript. Its importance as a relatively precisely attributed early fifteenth-century drawing is matched by its exquisite beauty.

Former Boxer Vitali Klitschko Sprayed With Fire Extinguisher
Former heavyweight boxing champion Vitali Klitschko left to ring to pursue a career in politics. If today's events in Kiev are any indication, Klitschko could have battles much tougher than some of his title fights.
Photo of Ukraine opposition leader Vitali @Klitschko after he was reportedly sprayed with a fire extinguisher: pic.twitter.com/Oodl61BOhc
— Mark MacKinnon (@markmackinnon) January 19, 2014
Klitschko was in Kiev to try and calm down a crowd of protesters near Parliament. The former boxer is the leader of the Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform, a group opposed to Ukranian President Viktor Yanukovych. As Klitschko attempted to settle down the crowd, someone with a fire extinguisher sprayed him in the face. So much for trying to keep the peace.

An official Twitter account affiliated with the Environmental Protection Agency sent out a perplexing tweet Monday night, igniting the Internet.
"I'm now a C-List celebrity in Kim Kardashian: Hollywood. Come join me and become famous too by playing on iPhone!" the tweet said.
Some users suspected that the EPA's Twitter account had been compromised, though it was not immediately clear if that was the case.
It is also possible the account's social media manager intended to push the tweet to his or her personal account, but made a mistake in the process and sent it to the wrong account.
Regardless, users on Twitter immediately used the incident to poke fun at the federal agency.

Zack Stortini, EDM
Piling up goals and fight lately, he's using hustle and muscle to move his way up the Oilers depth chart.
Loui Eriksson, DAL
This guy knows how to finish, he has 27 goals, and his plus 12 rating is second best on the entire Dallas team.
EDM: The 29-24-4 Oilers are coming off a hard-fought 4-2 road loss to the San Jose Sharks.ings.
DAL: The 28-21-7 Stars are coming off a 3-2 shootout victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets.
EDM: Fernando Pisani, RW(ankle); Lubomir Visnovsky, D (shoulder surgery); Denis Grebeshkov, D, (ankle).
DAL: Brenden Morrow (knee); Sergei Zubov (hip); Landon Wilson (ribs); Brad Richards (wrist).
The Stars took a big hit to their lineup when Brad Richard got drilled into the boards by Columbus's Jakub Voracek. He has a broken wrist and will be in a cast for five weeks and out of the line-up for six to eight weeks. Richards was second in Stars scoring with 48 points ... Dallas is still very good at home (16-7-4 this year) and are 7-3 in their last 10 ... Steve Ott, out with a lower body injury, is listed as probable for tonight ... Ales Hemsky, Kyle Brodziak and Andrew Cogliano each have two goals in three games against Dallas this year.

The more she is sexy, the more aggressive. Both these qualities make her appealing. She has had a lot of scandals too in WWE, most famous being the kiss between her and Eric Bishof.

TAMPA -- Dave Andreychuk claims he didn't force Kiefer Sutherland into wearing a dress on David Letterman's show, but the "other" Dave Andreychuk did.
Andreychuk, the former Maple Leaf and now a community rep for the Tampa Bay Lightning, received a flood of messages a week ago Wednesday after Sutherland, star of the hit Fox TV series 24, bounded on to the Late Show stage wearing an ugly green paisley frock with army boots. He told Letterman he'd lost an NFL bet to "my friend Dave Andreychuk."
"He meant the Dave that used to be an Easton stick rep, who moved to Los Angeles where Kiefer and he became buddies," Andreychuk said Thursday at the St. Petes Times Forum. "I think he's originally from St. Louis, but he has the Andreychuk name. I knew right away who Sutherland meant, but I did get a few e-mails right away and a huge hit on my Twitter account."
Adding to the confusion was that many people knew the Canadian-born Sutherland is a huge hockey fan and had met the player Andreychuk a few times during Kings games in L.A. As fate would have it, Sutherland once had dinner with both namesakes.
"Now, how weird was that for Kiefer, to be eating with two guys named Dave Andreychuk?" Andreychuk said.

T - Full Term, 09:00AM to 01:15PM
Location: URI 331
Instructor: Donald Lehmann
Companies in general and
marketers in particular are under increasing pressure to produce two main
things: effective/productive spending and "real" revenue growth. This course addresses the second issue,
growth. More specifically, it looks at
three main (and inter-related) paths to growth: new products, brand building,
and customers. Participants play the
role of growth consultants/Chief Growth Officers. The course is designed for people interested in
management and consulting as well as in marketing. The course follows a workshop-style
approach, incorporating both "metrics" (quantitative thinking) and
qualitative/conceptual components.
The intended
benefits/learnings are:
1. To better understand how a firm can generate
2. To develop systematic skills to aid in
identifying and evaluating growth options.
3. To see how new product development,
branding, and customer management are related.
4. To have the opportunity to think in some
detail about a particular company's strategy.
5. To develop the ability to gain insight from
atypical sources.
Donald Lehmann
George E. Warren Professor of Business
Professor Lehmann teaches several different marketing courses. His research focuses on individual and group choice and decision making, the adoption of innovation and new product development, and the management and valuation of marketing assets (brands, customers). He is also interested in knowledge accumulation, empirical generalizations and information use.

The world's biggest microchip manufacturer, Intel, has agreed to tidy up its act under a settlement with US competition regulators over charges that it abused its dominance by bullying computer companies into exclusive deals.
Intel struck a deal to resolve legal action brought by the US federal trade commission (FTC) by signing up to a list of requirements prohibiting unfair retaliation towards computer-makers that used chips produced by its rivals.
Intel controls more than 70% of the global market for chips, the "brains" of computers, and has been dogged by accusations of using illegal tactics to squeeze rivals.
There was no fine in the FTC settlement and some industry analysts suggested that Intel had escaped relatively lightly in comparison with its previous brushes with regulators. A year ago, the European commission levied fined it £900m for "serious wrongdoing" and in November, Intel paid £787m to its main rival, Advanced Micro Devices, to end litigation between the two companies.
The FTC's chairman, Jon Leibowitz, said today's deal provided certainty about the rules of the road for other businesses: "By accepting this settlement, we open the door to competition today and address Intel's anti-competitive conduct in a way that may not have been available in a final judgment years from now."
California-based Intel issued a statement saying it was not admitting any violation of the law. Its general counsel, Doug Melamed, said: "This agreement provides a framework that will allow us to continue to compete and to provide our customers the best possible products at the best prices."
The deal requires Intel to modify its intellectual property agreements to give competitors more freedom. The company will not be allowed to use "threats, bundled prices or other offers" to tie in customers and punish computer-makers which buy alternative chips.
Brendan Furlong, a technology analyst at Miller Tabak, described the outcome as "pretty benign" for Intel: "What's positive for Intel is that the more egregious settlement the FTC was looking for in its original case has not played out."
The deal does not close the book on action against Intel. New York's attorney general, Andrew Cuomo, sued Intel in November, accusing the company of using "bribery and coercion" to maintain a stranglehold on the market, to the ultimate detriment of consumers who, according to regulators, were deprived of choice and lower prices.

Steamboat School Board approves administrative salaries, contract extension for Meeks
June 16, 2014
Steamboat Springs — A month ago, the Steamboat Springs School Board approved Supertindentent Brad Meeks' push to adopt a uniform administrative salary system, one that scores positions based on experience and job requirements.
It's a structured system Meeks hopes will better define administrator roles as well as pay scales. But in the May 19 board meeting, the panel accepted the system without specifying actual dollar figures for salaries.
In Monday night's board meeting — the final regularly scheduled meeting of the 2013-14 school year — Meeks presented four different administrator salary options to fill in the new schedule for 2014-15. The options all included salary increases, ranging from a 1 to 2.5 percent increase to market.
In a four-to-five vote, the board resolved to pass a 2 percent salary increase above the median income for administrative positions under the new system. The median incomes were based on a salary survey the district conducted.
The newly minted salary schedule "grandfathers in" those administrators who already are earning more annually than where the schedule would place them based on points earned, which means they won't receive board-approved income bumps — like Monday night's 2 percent increase — until the number of step increases approved catches up with their current salary level.
In approving the 2 percent salary increase Monday night, only three administrators would be "grandfathered in."
Recommended Stories For You
"My recommendation was to get the board to consider the 2 or 2.5 percent increase because it gets more administrators on level," the superintendent said. "It's not a perfect system, but based on conversations with the administrators and board members, it's much better than we've had, and it's understandable."
And it's fair, the board agreed. District teachers will receive a 5.5 percent salary increase for 2014-15, and support staff will get a 5.05 percent bump with their step increase.
"We heard from a lot of staff about the administrative salary schedule," Board President Rebecca Williams said. "There was a lot of misinformation about this. The most common issue was that administrators were getting a big salary increase, and they (administrators) didn't."
Board member Robin Crossan said it was critical the district get its teaching staff on an annual salary that placed them over the median market salary for their positions.
Without Meeks' contract included, the total administrative salaries for 2014-15 will reach a little more than $1.4 million and will cost the district $43,735 more than in 2013-14.
Following the board's approval of 2014-15 administrative salaries, it unanimiously voted in favor of a three-year contract extension for Meeks.
"I feel if we're going to be fair, we have to be fair with all people every year," Crossan said regarding salaries for all district employees.
The superintendent's new contract will run through June 2017 and includes a 2.5 percent pay increase, from $165,000 annually to $169,125. It also includes slight enhancements in vacation options and to his severance package should the board resolve to terminate his contract early.
Other highlights from Monday's board meeting
• The board plans to try to reconvene with the leaders of the Steamboat Springs Middle School field house project in the next several weeks to possibly finalize a contract.
• Chris Johnson accepted the annual Friend of Education award, given out by the board each year to an active volunteer in the district who dedicates considerable time and energy to the district and supports school activities.
• The board accepted Rebecca Williams' resignation as board member and president. It has 60 days to fill her board seat. The board elected Roger Good as its new president to replace Williams. It set the application deadline to fill Williams' seat for noon on July 14 and scheduled interviews for July 17 starting at 5:30 p.m.

VIDEO: Base jumper leaps from MOVING CAR over the edge of a bridge!
AN adrenaline junkie has taken base jumping one step further by leaping off a bridge from the back of a moving truck.
Sebastian Alvarez leapt over the edge of Amolanas Bridge in Chile in a feat which would give even James Bond a run for his money.
The veteran base jumper may be well used to leaping from cliffs and moutons but even he admitted to being nervous.
The stunt had to be timed to absolute perfection as Alvarez leaped from the truck and over a camera mounted on the railings of the bridge.
After sailing over the edge he deployed his parachute and floated more than 300ft back down to earth.
He said: "This jump was very technical, if I made a bad exit from the truck or had a bad parachute opening, things turn immediately dangerous.
"Also Amolanas is a low bridge where there are almost no room for mistakes. If I don't open the parachute right before I jump, I'd be dead on the ground four to five seconds after.
"I was scared, but you have to turn it into something positive. Fear is good, panic means death.
"But at the same time, I felt really confident, I love to jump from bridges. Everything goes very fast so theres no time to think, you can only react."

Suggested Lesson Development
Invite a child to give the opening prayer.
Attention Activity
Tell the children of a group of people who went on a tour of a dimly lit cave. When the people were deep in the heart of the cave, the lights were turned off. The guide told them not to panic; he was just demonstrating total darkness. Before the guide turned the lights back on, he asked the people to point in the direction they would go to leave the cave and keep pointing until they could see again. When the lights were turned back on, everyone was pointing in a different direction. They had lost their way in the dark.
Ask for a volunteer to be blindfolded so you can demonstrate how easy it is to lose our way in the dark (have the child close his or her eyes to block out any light that might get through the blindfold). Ask the children to be very quiet. Turn the blindfolded child around several times, and walk him or her around the room a few steps. Before you remove the blindfold, have the child try to point to his or her chair.
Ask the children if they would like to live in total darkness. Explain that the kind of light you have been talking about during this activity is physical light, but even more important is spiritual light. Have the children read John 8:12 and 1 Nephi 12:17. Explain that if we choose to follow Jesus, we will live in the light, but if we choose to follow Satan, we will be in spiritual darkness. Ask the children to listen to the account of Joshua to see whom he chose to follow.
Scripture Account
Teach the children the account of Joshua leading the children of Israel into the promised land as found in the scriptures listed in the "Preparation" section. (For suggested ways to teach the scripture account, see "Teaching from the Scriptures," p. vii.) Use the pictures at appropriate times.
Discussion and Application Questions
Study the following questions and the scripture references as you prepare your lesson. Use the questions you feel will best help the children understand the scriptures and apply the principles in their lives. Reading and discussing the scriptures with the children in class will help them gain personal insights.
- •
What did the Lord promise Joshua as Joshua prepared to enter the promised land? (Joshua 1:5.) What was Joshua to do to receive help from the Lord? (Joshua 1:7–8; explain that the book of the law is the scriptures.) What was Joshua told to do with the scriptures? (Joshua 1:8.) How does this counsel apply to us today?
- •
Before the children of Israel entered the promised land, Joshua was asked to be strong and courageous four times (see Joshua 1:6–7, 9, 18). Why do you think he would need to be strong and have courage at that particular time? Why do we need to be spiritually strong and courageous today?
- •
How did Rahab help the two spies who were sent by Joshua? (Joshua 2:4–6, 15–16.) What favor did Rahab ask of the spies? (Joshua 2:12–13.) What did Rahab say that showed she believed in the God of Israel? (Joshua 2:11.) Point out to the children that Rahab joined the Israelites after Jericho was destroyed. Both Paul and James wrote about her (see Hebrews 11:31; James 2:24–25).
- •
What did the Lord do to show the children of Israel that he was with Joshua just as he had been with Moses? (Joshua 3:7–8, 15–17; explain that the ark of the covenant was a portable altar that contained sacred writings, including Moses' writings and the tablets containing the Ten Commandments.) Why is it important for us to follow the living prophet?
- •
What did the priests have to do before the waters of the Jordan parted? (Joshua 3:13, 15–17.) How do you think the priests felt walking toward the overflowing river carrying the ark of the covenant? How can we follow the example of the priests in our lives? Help the children understand that sometimes we must obey even when it looks as though we are not being blessed. The blessings come after the test of our faith and obedience.
- •
How did the Israelites take control of Jericho? (Joshua 6:11–16, 20; see enrichment activity 1.) How do you think the people of Jericho felt as they watched the Israelites march around their city day after day? Emphasize that the walls of the city fell because of the power of the Lord and the faith and obedience of the Israelites. What do you think would have happened if the Israelites had not chosen to do things the Lord's way?
- •
What did Joshua do before he asked the people to choose whom they would serve? (Explain that as the prophet he set an example for the children of Israel to follow.) When Joshua asked the children of Israel to choose whom they would serve, what was their choice? (Joshua 24:15, 24, 31.) How can we serve the Lord? (By having faith in our Church leaders and following their words.) President Spencer W. Kimball said, "Loyalty to the Lord also includes loyalty to those leaders he has chosen" ("Give the Lord Your Loyalty," Ensign, Mar. 1980, p. 4). Why can't we serve the Lord and Satan at the same time? (See enrichment activity 2.)
- •
Why is it important that we make a choice now to follow the Lord? (See enrichment activity 3.)
Enrichment Activities
You may use one or more of the following activities any time during the lesson or as a review, summary, or challenge.
Draw simple figures, similar to the following, on the chalkboard to illustrate the events of the Israelites taking the city of Jericho as you tell the story:
Without the other children hearing your instructions, ask two children to pantomime movers lifting a very large, heavy object. Have the two children stand three feet (one meter) apart facing each other. They then should pretend to lift the object, try to simultaneously move it toward each other, but be unable to make any progress forward or backward. As the children are pantomiming, tell the class that two movers struggled for several minutes one day trying to move a heavy object through a doorway. Finally, exhausted, the movers gave up. One mover said, "I've used all my energy, but I don't think I'll ever be able to get this thing inside the door." "Inside the door?" said the other. "I thought we were trying to move it out the door!"
Explain that it is impossible to go two directions at the same time. We have to choose which direction to go. Ask the children why it is not possible to follow both Jesus and Satan at the same time. (See Matthew 6:24; Alma 5:38–40.)
Help the children memorize the following scripture: "Choose you this day whom ye will serve; … but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord" (Joshua 24:15).
Before class make a copy of the following wordstrips and tape them under the children's chairs:
The Holy Ghost stays with us.
The Holy Ghost leaves us.
We gain faith.
We lose faith.
We are more able to resist temptation.
We are less able to resist temptation.
We gain spiritual blessings.
We lose spiritual blessings.
We find happiness.
We find misery.
Write the following headings on a chart or chalkboard:
Results of Following Jesus Christ
Results of Following Satan
Have the children find the wordstrips and put them under the correct heading. Explain that if we choose to serve the Lord now, we can avoid much pain and sorrow and we receive greater happiness. A latter-day prophet has told us that Satan loves it when we are discouraged and hesitant to make decisions because it is easier for him to tempt us. The prophet said, "If you have not done so yet, decide to decide!" (Spencer W. Kimball, in Conference Report, Apr. 1976, p. 70; or Ensign, May 1976, p. 46).
Discuss and memorize the eleventh article of faith. Point out that Heavenly Father gives us our agency in everything, including the choice of whom we will worship. We know that all of the Lord's children can worship as they please, but through the scriptures and our prophets, we know that the right choice is to worship God.
Sing or read the words to
"Can a Little Child like Me?" (Children's Songbook, p. 9), "Seek the Lord Early" (Children's Songbook, p. 108), or "Choose the Right Way" (Children's Songbook, p. 160).
You may want to testify that only as we serve the Lord will we find true and eternal happiness. Repeat as a class the following in unison: "Choose you this day whom ye will serve; … but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord" (Joshua 24:15).
Suggested Family Sharing
Encourage the children to share with their families a specific part of the lesson, such as a story, question, or activity, or to read with their families the "Suggested Home Reading."
Suggested Home Reading
Suggest that the children study Joshua 3:13–17, 6:1–5, and Joshua 24:15 at home as a review of this lesson.
Invite a child to give the closing prayer.

Christian affiliate programs are one of the fastest growing areas in affiliate marketing. These programs allow marketers to promote a wide variety of Christian offers, from dating to Internet filtering to books. Affiliates with websites devoted to Christian topics can earn money while making their site an even more valuable resource.
How Do Christian Affiliate Programs Work?
Getting started with Christian affiliate programs is easy! First, you must locate the programs and offers that are best matched to your website topic. Next, complete applications for the programs that you want to join. Once you have submitted your application, you simply need to wait for your website to be approved.
Once you've been formally accepted by Christian affiliate programs, you can begin choosing products and adding links to your website. However, simply dropping links onto the pages of your site is not enough to generate substantial sales.
Promoting Christian Affiliate Programs with Quality Content
The key to attracting interested customers to your website is to create unique, high-quality website content. Viewers on your site are not going to click on your affiliate links without some type of motivation. You need to inspire their interest and motivate them to buy the offers features on your website.
What type of content is best for promoting Christian affiliate programs? Informative articles, commentary, and product reviews are all great resources that your potential customers will appreciate. This original material will also help improve your search engine rankings for specific keywords, thus increasing the amount of traffic that is directed toward your website.
Developing a Strong Marketing Plan
Another important element that can impact your results with Christian affiliate programs is the traffic volume on your website. As many affiliate marketers soon find, more website traffic equals better sales. In order to achieve the best possible results, you need to attract a large number of potential customers to your site.
There are a number of great techniques you can use to draw people to your site. The content you have already produced to promote your chosen Christian affiliate programs already serves as one of your most important marketing tools, but there are a number of other approaches that you should also consider. Some tools and techniques that you might want to try include word-of-mouth advertising, viral videos, podcasting, blogging and article marketing. Always check out your option to determine which tactics are best suited to your unique affiliate marketing needs.
Christian affiliate programs are a fantastic opportunity for online marketers to reach out to a highly targeted audience. If you have a website devoted to Christian topics, this is an ideal way to generate extra revenue through your site. Not only are these offers an excellent chance to earn money; they can also improve the value of your site by fulfilling the needs of your online audience. If you are looking for a rewarding niche market, give some major thought to all that Christian affiliate programs have to offer.

Sedimentary rocks made of sand are often formed from a sandy beach, like the one in (A). Ripple marks form as water flows back and forth over the surface with each crashing wave. They are common on beaches and can be found in rock too. Do you see ripples in both the sandy beach (A) and the sandstone (B)? The sandstone in (B) was part of a beach over 200 million years ago when dinosaurs roamed the Earth.

New from Benchmark Games is a card dispensing mechanism that can be installed in any machine requiring this feature. It can hold up to 100 standard-size cards, and is said to require no maintenance. According to the manufacturer, the new card dispensing unit is designed for easy loading and is 100% digital.Â
An optional plate is available when the card dispenser is to be installed in a machine with an exterior door.
Benchmark explained that the unit will work with games from other manufacturers that require a mechanism for dispensing cards, as well as its own. As a further enhancement to the new card dispenser, an optional plate can be provided for the outside of the machine with an exterior door. Low introductory pricing is available.
Also new from Benchmark is a small "ticket emulator" instrument for use by technicians in testing ticket dispensing mechanisms without wasting tickets. Designed for use in the shop or on location, the device indicates functional status with three indicator lights.
When it's plugged in, a "power" indicator illuminates when the dispenser is receiving 12V.; a "run" lamp lights up when the ticket dispenser is connected to a logic signal; and the "notch" lamp blinks each time a ticket-dispense command is received. These signals enable the technician to determine whether the machine is working properly without actually issuing (and wasting) tickets.
The instrument is sized to fit comfortably in a toolbox. It is said to be adaptable to games from manufacturers other than Benchmark, to save operators money by saving tickets while keeping redemption equipment in good working order to maximize customer satisfaction.
Information on Benchmark games and accessories can be had by calling (888)-538-1000 or (561) 588-5200 and speaking with Rich Long at ext. 112 or Al Kress, ext. 101. Details on the new ticket emulator may be requested from Benchmark's parts department at (561) 253-3311.
Based in Hypoluxo, FL, Benchmark Games was founded and is owned by coin machine industry pioneers Ron Halliburton and Kress. Halliburton holds numerous patents issued over 40 years; and Kress is a former operator and distributor and a past-chairman of the American Amusement Machine Association.The company maintains a website at benchmarkgames.com.

A 3D Printer That Works With Chocolate? Now You've Got My Attention
Instead of the toxic smell of melted plastics, while the Imagine 3D printer is doing its thing, your workspace will be filled with the aroma of delicious confections. Because its printing head uses syringes that can be filled with chocolate.
