Summary: Reframing the Case for Fixing Social Security and Medicare
This is an Executive Summary of our report Reframing the Case for Fixing Social Security and Medicare.
In August 2012, Third Way and Benenson Strategy Group conducted focus groups with Democrats and Independents about Social Security and Medicare. Our analysis reveals some surprising results:
- Voters see inaction on Social Security and Medicare as far worse than action.
- Voters don't want these programs reformed, they want them fixed.
- Voters perceive significant waste, fraud, and abuse in Social Security and Medicare.
- Voters see Social Security and Medicare as "earned benefit" programs—not "entitlements."

Antique Gem Set Enamel Flower Pendant Brooch
Evocative and delicate, the violet flower was quite popular during the Edwardian age. Native to Great Britain, it was used as a scent for perfume as well as a garnish for sweets as the violet petals are edible. Here in the guise of a 14k pale rose gold jewel for adornment, the soft purple and lavender colors of the enamel decorated petals appeal to the visual palette of the period.
An old mine cut diamond of approximately .10 carats is centered within the quite realistic five petal flower which displays the dark veins common to the flower. Feminine in its overall configuration, the pendant brooch cum watch holder is edged with thirty-seven (37) natural seed pearls as the perfect finish to each petal border.
Measurements: 1-5/16 inches (3.3 cm) in length when worn by 1-1/16 inches (2.7 cm) at the widest. Weight of 7 grams (4.5 dwt).
Condition: Excellent; tiny amount of repair to base of hinge visible with a loupe; no silver solder evident.
Date: Circa 1910.
Note: All diamond weights are approximate as the stones have not been removed in order to preserve the integrity of the setting.

Having cancer does not mean that you
have to live with pain. Cancer and some of the treatments for it can cause
pain. But most people who have cancer are able to manage their pain well.
doctor needs all the information you can give about what your pain feels like.
Your doctor needs to know how your treatment is working or not working. It may
be easier to give your doctor information if you write it down. Use a daily
diary to
rate your pain
. Write down what drugs you are taking
and how well they are working. Write down any other methods you are using to
control your pain.
Pay attention to the details of your pain so
you can tell your doctor. Is it burning? Throbbing? Steady? How long does it
last? Take your written information and your questions with you when you see
your doctor.

to keep track of your treatment. Write down how strong your
pain is and when it comes and goes. Most doctors use a "0 to 10" scale to
measure pain. On this scale, "0" means no pain and "10" means the worst
possible pain.
It is easy to get
confused about medicines when you are in pain and are looking for something to
help you feel better. You may have prescriptions from more than one doctor.

of your pain medicines by following these rules:
Pain medicines may cause
side effects. For example, opiate pain relievers may cause drowsiness,
constipation, nausea, and vomiting. Some anti-inflammatory drugs, including

What is big data? Big data is a general term for data sets that are too large, flowing too fast, or in too varied formats for standard data processing software and hardware to process within reasonable time frames at a reasonable cost. Obviously, everyone's definition of "reasonable" is a little different, so big data is largely a subjective term.
Why does it matter? People say that data is the new oil. Big data is a massive, largely untapped resource lying in wait for businesses to extract the value from it and cash in. This metaphor has some truth to it. Using new technologies, companies are analyzing data sets that they never could before, and processing volumes of data that once were beyond them. From that data, businesses are extracting intelligence about their customers, their supply chain, their hardware operations, and all of the aspects of their business that affect both the top and bottom line. In addition, scientists are using this data to make new breakthroughs. The trouble faced by companies that want to get in on the action is that big data, by definition, is data that is difficult to analyze.
Unstructured data - Analyzing unstructured data in mass quantities, such as social media data for sentiment analysis, is a good example of a big data analytics challenge. Many people think of this example as the whole problem. That's a mistake.
Machine data - Machine generated data, such as network data, sensor data, and smart meter data is just as valid an example. Machine generated data is a data set with tremendous potential value that is a huge challenge to analyze due both to its sheer volume and to the speed that it gets generated.
Scientific data - Analysis of odd formats, such as medical imaging data, or genomic data for bio sciences, is another face of the big data analytics challenge.
Transactional data - Even standard transactional data can become a challenge to process in today's mega-companies that try to do things like market basket analyses on data that includes millions of transactions every hour.
Some more specific examples:
There is an amazing variety of data in the business world today, and an equally staggering number of uses that data can be applied to.
Healthcare - analyze healthcare records to find potential infectious disease trends and help improve clinical outcomes in patient care.
Telecom - analyze call detail records for call drop optimization and customer churn analysis.
Retail - analyze regional purchase records over time for market basket analysis, and product descriptions for categorization.
Insurance - analyze claims data to catch fraud.
Financial - analyze financial records to spot trends and evaluate risk.
Life Science - analyze DNA data to map genomes.
Pharmaceutical - analyze research study data to evaluate the efficacy of drugs and catch potential side effects.
Manufacturing - analyze supply chain data to optimize processes and ensure supplies on hand when needed.
Utilities/Smart Grids - analyze smart meter data to minimize outages and improve efficiency.
Government - analyze netflow data for cybersecurity.
Before an analysis can be done on any data set, it needs to be ready. It needs to be complete, accurate, include all the pieces needed, joined, sorted, grouped and de-duped.
That may not sound like a big deal, but according to several research studies, data preparation takes up to 80% of the work and time involved in any analytics project.
There are a lot of reasons for that, a lack of proper access, the complexity of business rules for validation, etc. But the main reason data preparation takes so long is the same reason other data processing tasks take far longer than they should. Most data preparation is done serially and single threaded, not parallelized and distributed for optimum data processing speed.
If data prep on your analytics projects is taking longer than ten minutes, we think that's too long.
Data analysts should be spending their valuable time analyzing data, not getting the data ready to be analyzed.
Example: A claims processing service took 26 days to prepare 250 million claims for analysis. With the Actian DataRush engine's ability to scale across all cores available, they did the same thing in less than a day, dramatically expanding their ability to detect fraud or claims mismanagement.
Data analysis has always involved mining data sets, finding the patterns and anomalies, gleaning the important trends. Data analysts have always had to deal with limitations of analysis technologies with larger datasets. A lot of standard practices, such as sampling and aggregation, have been developed to deal with common problems of data sets that are too large to be analyzed in a reasonable time frame at a reasonable cost. (Sound familiar?)
The truth is that in many cases, standard analytics practices work fine with the data sets most businesses need analyzed.
That first one means that a lot of valuable data simply couldn't be mined until the technology caught up. That second one means more and more compromises. And slower and slower answers to business questions in a cutthroat economy where seconds can make the difference.
Solution: New technologies (such as Hadoop, Pervasive DataRush and Pervasive RushAnalytics) have been developed to economically analyze data in massive volumes at extremely high speeds.
These methods are essential when dealing with some of the new data sets, such as machine generated data, that dwarf the old school transactional data sets. And, even with less extreme data, the same technologies can give a speed boost that radically cuts the time to get answers to essential questions. They can also make compromises like sampling and aggregation less necessary, and make useful analyses such as anomaly detection more viable.
Example of data that couldn't be analyzed before: Netflow data streams are essential for network performance monitoring and problem diagnostics, but existing technology chokes on the volume and velocity. Pervasive captured, transformed into HBase and analyzed more than 1 million Netflow events/second, on a sustained basis, using just a 3-node cluster. The company can now get precise usage measurements, catch network breaches, a machine down and spot cybersecurity attacks such as invalid requests, page redirects and SQL injection attacks.
Example of accelerating an existing analysis: A global financial bank got their risk management solution processing time down from 15+ hours to about 20 minutes while reducing the hardware required by 50%.
Historically, large data sets for business analytics and scientific advancement were processed on expensive specialized servers that many companies couldn't afford, and that were difficult to scale up as data volumes continued to rapidly grow.
It's Affordable - Hadoop is a software framework that supports dividing data processing across multiple networked computers, aka distributed processing. These groups of computers are called clusters, and generally consist of inexpensive industry standard machines, not expensive high performance super computers or appliances. Hadoop itself is open source, minimizing software license fees.
It's Resilient - The basic concept behind Hadoop is that all processing and data storage should be spread equally across the available computers in a cluster. If one computer fails, it does no harm because the data is stored redundantly on more than one system and the processing also happens in more than one location. This makes Hadoop clusters very resilient to failure.
It's Scalable - As data volumes grow, compute and storage capacity can be added inexpensively by simply adding more standard servers (called nodes) to the cluster. This makes Hadoop clusters infinitely scalable so that as businesses and their data processing needs grow, the processing power grows right along with them in small affordable increments.
Affordable, scalable, resilient data processing power is what makes Hadoop so exciting. The uses that power can be put to are wide and varied, but business and scientific analysis of massive amounts of data is the obvious sweet spot.

For Fans, Countdown to Kickoff Starts Now
Jordan Hooper will participate in two Sports Nightly segments Wednesday.
Bo Pelini on Defense Bo on Offensive Line Bo on Freshmen
By Randy York
For Husker fans, countdown to kickoff starts now.
Nebraska Football Fan Day, presented by U.S. Cellular, is set for Friday from 2 to 3:30 p.m. inside Memorial Stadium. To whet your appetite, check out three quick-hitting Bo Pelini audio bites at the top. They're Bo's takes from Big Ten Media Days on an improving defense, having potentially the best offensive line he's had in seven seasons as the Huskers' head coach and why he won't shut the door on the possibility of playing incoming freshmen.
Pelini is in the midst of a media frenzy. Wednesday, he has a more than four-hour plate of interviews awaiting his visit to ESPN studios, beginning with a "First Take" session, followed by an ESPNU college football podcast with Ivan Maisel and an Insider interview with Brett McMurphy. Then it's SportsCenter, an ESPN.com Chat, plus the Scott Van Pelt & Russillo Radio Show. Next comes Digital Media in a different building and College Football Live in Studio A. After that, it's an interview with Travis Haney in a Café Annex and back-to-back radio interviews for Coach & Company and Sport Center Tonight.
Pelini set a good tone for the season in Chicago, and Keith Mann, Nebraska's assistant athletic director for Media Relations, sent the media a detailed account of coach and player availability that will begin Friday and go all the way up to Nebraska's season opener against Wyoming. In the week leading up to the Cowboys, Pelini will continue to meet the Nebraska media at his Monday press conference and talk to Big Ten Conference media on Tuesday teleconferences.
Husker fans should check out Husker Sports Nightly this week when special hosts pinch-hit for a vacationing Jeff Culhane. Tonight John Baylor will interview John Ingram, NU's associate AD for Capital Planning and Construction at 6:30 p.m. Baylor will interview Husker running backs coach Ron Brown at 7 p.m. and Olympic Silver Medalist Jordan Larson at 8 p.m. Audio highlights from all three shows will be posted here on Wednesday.
Matt Coatney, the play-by-play man for Nebraska women's basketball, will interview Brenda VanLengen Wednesday at 6:20 p.m. VanLengen, a former Husker assistant, was an ESPN commentator during Jordan Hooper's USA gold medal experience at the recent World University Games in Russia. Coatney also will chat Wednesday night with ex-Husker Kelsey Griffin of the WNBA's Connecticut Sun. VanLengen will spend two in-studio segments with Hooper.
Lane Grindle will host Thursday's edition of Sports Nightly, and Ben McLaughlin will coordinate Friday night's full coverage of Nebraska Fan Day.

- Social Work Major
Some of us volunteer our weekends and evenings to help causes we care about. Social workers spend their careers working full-time for the well-being of others. They work with individuals one-on-one, coordinate support groups, and advocate for the best possible environments to allow people to live safely with ample opportunities for a quality life. Moreover, they see firsthand the differences they encourage in individuals, communities, and government, watching and participating as they help change to develop.
As a social work major, you'll develop a strong generalist skill set for working with many different people, including the young and old, individuals and families, and clients and legislators. You'll learn how to advocate for causes and gain experience with real-world situations through hands-on, practical research projects and fieldwork in conjunction with many area organizations. You'll learn to make a true difference by helping others professionally, conscientiously, intelligently and effectively.

"Free, fair and full reports of industrial organizations," the January 12, 1901, issue of Commerce, Accounts & Finance said, " should be founded upon thorough, independent audits of accounts by disinterested certified public accountants, whose signed certificates, to be published with the report, are a more nearly perfect guarantee of reliability than any other yet to be discovered."
The article, believed to have been written by Charles Haskins, was one of many calls for independent auditing in the early decades of the century. But these calls were largely ignored by Washington and Wall Street regulators. The stock market crash of 1929 and the ensuing Depression brought the issue into the public spotlight, especially when it became obvious that proper accounting practices might have prevented some bankruptcies and consequent unemployment.
On April 1, 1933, Colonel Arthur Carter, President of the New York State Society of CPAs, testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking and Currency. As the only accountant to testify, Carter helped convince Congress that independent audits should be mandatory for public corporations. The 1933 Securities Act subsequently required public corporations to file independently certified registration statements and periodic reports. A year later, the Securities and Exchange Commission was created to administer the new legislation.
The regulating bodies immediately needed accountants. Women accountants, who (except for the remarkable Jennie Palen) had been unable to make headway at the leading firms, suddenly found themselves in demand.

Almost of them are grandmasters or international masters, and many of them — Michael Adams of England, Fabiano Caruana of Italy, Alexander Onischuk of the United States, Viktor Bologan of Moldova, to name just a few — are among the best in the world.
There is one anomaly in the group: Paul Szuper of the United States. Measured by his international rating of 2,174, he is not a master. According to his United States rating of 2,208, he is just above the level of a master.
(Ratings are used to measure the relative ability of players. The higher the rating, the better the player. Masters are above 2,200, International masters usually rank from about 2,400 to 2,500 and grandmasters from 2,500 on up. The highest rated players in the world are just over 2,800.) Read more…

Weather permitting, I will be doing a series of aerial photos on Mt. Washington tomorrow, 9/30/07 between 2:30-3:00. My primary focus will be in the area of Jacob's Ladder, but I'll also be on the lookout for anyone hiking near or on the summit.
If you see me, WAVE! You might end up in a photo on the forum!
And if I happen to see the entire MWOBS staff outside waving....

Before anything, that's not a "oh, where can I find resources?" question.
Well, I've been curious about one thing in the indie games industry.
For the development of the game, such tasks like game design, art, sketches, code programming and etc can be easily done by just one person. You can just take up a paper and pencil and you're a game designer. You can just take software like Photoshop or Paint and you're an artist, a scanner and you're a sketcher, a compiler and you're a programmer.
For sound it's different. You may tell me: Well, follow the line, take a lot of instruments and record it.
But all we know that things don't work this way. I can list up some changes for us:
External noises are a big problem, sound effects can't be made with instruments, it can't sound like a recorded and clipped sound.
Well I can imagine how they do this in large companies, with such big studios and etc.
But to summarise, my question is: What's the best way for a one-man indie to do all its sound?
Does he have to synthesize everything? Record and buy some crazy program for editing sounds?

The Bet Collector (Kubrador)
Revolves around ''jueteng'', the game of numbers dating back to the Philippines'' Spanish colonial period (1521-1898). It chronicles three days in the life of Amelita, a jueteng kubrador or bet collector. Despite the regular crackdown on this illegal game, she continues to collect bets from her regular patrons every day. On the third day, a holiday, she takes a break from work and visits the grave of her soldier son who perished in war--It is All Saint's Day. One day she is apprehended by the police. She joins the other kubradors in the police station until their handler bails them out. The following morning, Amelita returns to the streets and continues her clandestine activity. She meets the parish priest who informs her of a young neighbor''s sudden death in an accident. He asks her to collect donations from neighbors and friends. But then, a series of events turns her mundane existence into a perplexing game of life, luck and death.

text: The Southeast Michigan Council of Governments has released a report called Fiscal Capacity Outlook for 2014-through-2016, with data showing an overall positive trend, as losses in Southeast Michigan's taxable value and state equalized value are coming to an end. SEMCOG's Brian Parthum says the seven counties in the SEMCOG region are on the mend, following the Recession of 2008. Parthum says a real property taxable value declined slightly by 0.7 percent, making the decline the smallest since 2009. Meanwhile, taxable value for residential property gained 0.5 percent, while taxable value for nonresidential property fell 4.1 percent. He says recovery will be contingent on the continued economic recovery in the state, including the growth of the Detroit automotive companies and their ability to maintain market share.

If you thirst for cable TV knowledge, we can help. CableTV.com has cold-filtered cable data on tap and ready for consumption.

Upwards of 50% of people also stream video content online. Among those with cable TV, almost three-fourths bundle their service with high-speed Internet. Cable's ubiquitous national presence also helps explain how DVRs account for about 7% of America's total TV viewing.
All those stats mean that if you don't own at least one TV for every room in your house, chances are your neighbor to the left or right of you does. It also means that almost everyone you meet today will watch a TV tonight, and 57% of them will use either their DVR or their Internet to do so.

Collection description
The Jim Harrison collection documents the life and work of Michigan-born writer Jim Harrison from 1938 to the present. Harrison has published books in several genres throughout his career, including poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and children's literature; he also worked in Hollywood and wrote screenplays, including several with his daughter Jamie. Harrison is recognized as a master of the novella, and his critically acclaimed trilogy Legends of the Fall reinvigorated the form in America. His journalism for national publications includes book reviews, literary criticism, food columns and sports writing. His early influences include a childhood blinding in one eye, experiences in the woods of north central Michigan, a religious conversion as a young teenager, and hitchhiking to various American cities in the early 1960s. There are numerous recurring subjects throughout Harrison's writings, such as the sanctity of the natural world, hunting and fishing, Native American history, Zen Buddhism, the complexities of human relationships, the joys of gourmet food, good wine, and sex, and the absolute importance of paying attention. Jim Harrison currently lives and writes in Arizona and Montana.
The collection includes handwritten drafts and typescripts of published and unpublished works by Harrison in all genres and interviews, reviews and writings about his life and work by others. It also contains extensive correspondence to Harrison from friends, family, and fellow writers including Tom McGuane, Ted Kooser, Dan Gerber, Gary Snyder, Denise Levertov, Rick Bass, Terry Tempest Williams, Louise Erdrich, Peter Matthiessen, artist and writer Russell Chatham, French gourmand Gérard Oberlé, and chef Mario Batali along with copies of his correspondence and responses. Sumac files partially document the Michigan-based literary journal founded and edited by poet Dan Gerber and Harrison in 1968 and published until the fall of 1971. Writings by others were collected by Harrison or sent by publishers or authors for review. Audio-visual materials include photographs, recordings of readings, taped interviews, posters, flyers and other works on paper, and productions of his work.

10 Inspiring Kitchens with Wood Cabinets and White Countertops
I hinted earlier this spring that I might be headed into a kitchen renovation, and sure enough, we are in the depths of kitchen planning right now! We've moved past the basic layout, and the budget (see our readers' real-life stories of how much they spent on kitchen remodeling), and now we're thinking about finishes. Personally, I'm almost settled on wood cabinets and some kind of white countertop (quartz? white granite? marble?). I love this look, and I wanted to share some of my favorite pieces of inspiration with you. Here are 10 lovely white and wood kitchens.
I'm planning on a big island in our open kitchen, too, so you can see that theme running through these inspiration photos too!
• 1 Moraga Residence from J. Weiss Design - An all-time favorite. Sparkly and clean, but still warm, thanks to that wood.
• 2 Luxe kitchen from Elle Decor - Very swanky, but the layout and clean lines could be swiped for a more modest space. (Love the window below the hood!)
• 3 Queen Anne Remodel at This Old House - A more classic approach.
• 4 Forbes Townhouse by Abelow Sherman - A Brooklyn townhouse remodel, with walnut cabinets and Cararra marble.
• 5 Modern Classic - Burlingame by Sullivan Design Studio - A darker wood and very glamorous marble make for a dressier kitchen that still feels casual enough in its openness to the living area.
• 6 Amy Butler's Granville, Ohio Kitchen from Apartment Therapy - I like the more rustic-modern feel in this country kitchen.
• 7 Steve Justrich Kitchen Remodel at The Kitchn - A lighter, brighter wood than my preference, but still one of my all-time favorite kitchen tours. Steve used quartz countertops.
• 8 Window-Filled Kitchen from Venegas and Company - I love how the eye is drawn up to the windows in this kitchen, with light marble countertops over dark wood.
• 9 Prospect House from Janof Hald Architecture - A more dressy kitchen, with Calacatta marble countertops.
• 10 Sea Cliff Renovation by Moroso Construction - One of my favorites. Clean, understated, with a mix of materials that includes stainless steel on the island.
Do you have any favorite examples of kitchens in this style? Maybe you renovated your own kitchen to have wood cabinets and white countertops? I'd love to see!
We're always looking for real kitchens from real cooks.

We have matte cherry cabinets with confetti terrazzo concrete as the island countertop. It never fails to make me smile :-)
Nice combination. We have blonde wood, with dark marble counters (not the most practical, but good looking).
This is a look I have been considering for my future kitchen reno. Based on this (much appreciated!) roundup, I have determined that I much prefer the wood grain going vertical and not horizontal (ie: #2 and #9 are my favorites.) Thanks for helping me narrow it down!
Got to say, I love Amy Butler's kitchen. But then I love her whole house. If I can tidy our kitchen up enough I will post to you. Have just done a before and after on the living room, so now tired!!! It's on the blog if anyone would like to see!
Just a thought but... the wood/white combination works out a whole lot cheaper with white cabinets and wooden worktops.
What counter material is that in Amy Butler's kitchen? Does anyone think that the marble trend is getting overplayed? I think the nicks and stains that marble will take on can look fantastic in an older home, but if the house has a more modern architecture, it might not look right as it patinas.
I'm looking at white countertop material for my wood kitchen, and am leaning towards quartz. The problem for me is that my 25-year-old black granite counters look fine and are in good condition so I can't justify the expense. I would prefer white because it looks so fresh and I could use the extra light on my work surface. I also would prefer my counters to wrap up the backsplash all the way to the upper cabinets. My kitchen is small, so the more seamless it looks, the bigger it will feel.
I was hoping to see some kitchens with white cabinets and wood countertops too. This combination works both ways!
We just had our small London kItchen remodelled with a handmade white and wood mix. The wood stops it feeling clinical but in a small space the white makes it light, clean and happy! There are photos and before and afters here:
White marble countertops are timeless, and have been used for centuries in Europe. The key is that most countertops in Europe are honed, rather than polished. If you must have polished marble, use a quality stone impregnator to help protect against stains and etching.
Impregnators and Sealers do not protect against etching, but slow down the effects, so if you can wipe up spills quickly, you are in better shape to not have damage.
use a pH neutral stone soap for cleaning to support the sealer, and not break down the sealer like high alkaline cleaners do such as dish soaps (pH 11-14)

MOF Newport Beach Honors Deceased Local ...
MOF Newport Beach Honors Deceased Local Surfer Gary Edgar
On Sunday, May 22, 2011 fourteen Cystic Fibrosis patients and their families congregated in Newport Beach, California at 18th street for the third stop on Mauli Ola Foundation's 2011 Surf Experience Day tour. Professional surfers and athletes who attended the event included: UFC champion Nissen Osterneck, newly appointed MOF Community Outreach Director Kalani Robb, Shawn "Barney" Barron and two time U.S. longboard champion Josh Baxter.
Mauli Ola is particularly excited about Josh Baxter's increased involvement with the MOF surf events, with MOF Surf Experience Director Bobby Serna adding, "Josh, who's Summer Soul Surf Camp hosted the event, is our new Surf Experience Coordinator." What makes this collaboration with Baxter so special for Mauli Ola Foundation is Baxter's place within surf-lore and surfing culture. Bobby Serna further explains, "Josh Baxter owns and operates the only surf school on San Onofre State Beach, which has been a legendary surfing hangout since the 1920s; for almost one hundred years!"
On his flagship event as Surf Experience Coordinator, Baxter was a master at knowing how to properly match CF patients with the right pro-surfer. He created an environment where each child got the most benefit out of their individual surfing experience in an environment that was comfortable and educationally beneficial for them. "He is one of the top three surf instructors that Mauli Ola has ever dealt with," states Serna.
Orange County Register staff writer, Laylan Connolly, stopped by the Newport Beach event to interview young CF patients and their families about their unique experience in living with Cystic Fibrosis and how the Mauli Ola Foundation Surf Experience Day events have helped them.
"Taylor Ross, 10 of Irvine, had a big ball of mucus stuck in her lungs and her mom, Lindsay, knew it would be coming out by the time they left the beach," wrote Connolly in her article.
"These events are great for my kid, who has CF," explains Taylor Ross's mom, Lindsay. "But it also does wonders for our kids in general," Lindsay explained to the OC Register.
Connolly goes on to write, "For Kate Watson, 12, it was all about enjoying the day. Watson, of Long Beach, was diagnosed when she was 4 months old."
"It's like you don't think about it," [Watson] said of her time in the water."
Adding to the sentimental value of the MOF Newport Beach surfing event was an emotional "paddle-out" tribute for the late Gary Edgar, a local family man, pro-surfer and surfboard manufacturer who succumbed to lung cancer two years ago. Upon being diagnosed with lung cancer Edgar found out about the work Mauli Ola was doing for CF patients who also suffer with severe lung disease. Edgar's family became contributors to Mauli Ola Foundation upon his passing, and each year since, Edgar's family comes down to MOF's Newport event for a memorial ceremony in his honor. "Gary Edgar's wife, son and daughter came down to the event with fresh Hawaiian leis and they went around the event and handed out these beautiful fresh leis for everyone," recalled Serna.
MOF Newport Beach was sponsored by Ambry Genetics, Flexfit, Hawaiian Spring Water, ECO Logical skincare, Etnies Shoes, Skullcandy, GoPro and Volcom.

Yet NASA didn't throw in the towel. Less than a month later, astronaut Alan Shepard became the first American to launch into space, and then, on Feb. 20, 1962, John Glenn followed that great achievement by becoming the first American to orbit the Earth.
Now, 50 years later, NASA is celebrating Glenn's historic mission, and all Americans have yet another reason to look back at one of the most ambitious periods in our history, and at some of our biggest heroes.

Jockey Quotes
MIKE SMITH, GALLANT SON, Winner: "That was great. It all worked out. We got out of the one hole really well. That was the key. I knew I had a lot of horse, but he tends to wait when he gets to the last horse. It wasn't necessarily the one next to me (Streakin' Mohican) that I was worried about. It's getting caught, because he waits. When someone gets momentum on him, he can't get it going again."
RAFAEL BEJARANO, STREAKIN' MOHICAN, Second "He tried hard. He just got a little intimidated when the other horse went by (Gallant Son)."
Trainer Quotes
FRANK LUCARELLI, GALLANT SON, Winner: "He's a tough horse in the right spots. I liked his chances on the turn, but he'll kind of hang when he gets up to the leaders and I was hoping he didn't get there too soon. He held them off pretty well. We've always talked about it, but we're not sure what his best distance is. I thought a mile is his distance but I'm not sure running short like this that he might not be as good or better."

In conjunction with In Harmony: The Norma Jean Calderwood Collection of Islamic Art, this two-part webinar series for teachers presents a live online discussion with scholars, artists, and educators exploring visual culture and art technologies in Persian history and contemporary Iran. Both sessions will model close looking and object-based learning in the classroom.
Amir, writer; Khalil, artist; and Olga Davidson, Research Fellow at the Institute for the Study of Muslim Societies & Civilizations, Boston University
How are contemporary Iranian artists influenced by cultural traditions of the past? How do modern technologies influence or shape contemporary visual culture? Join digital graphic novelists Amir and Khalil to learn about the influence of the great Persian epic the Shahnama (The Book of Kings) on their work. The epic poem, written over 1,000 years ago, addresses themes of leadership, authority, and power. Amir and Khalil harness the potential of digital media to explore similar issues in their graphic novels, which focus on contemporary Iran. Olga Davidson will introduce the Shahnama.
Discussion will take place via live audio and video feeds. The session will be run via an AdobeConnect virtual classroom and can be accessed from any computer equipped with the latest version of Flash. Run a test of your computer's operating capabilities for the webinar here. A computer with a microphone or external headset is recommended but not required.

Annual one-day outreach program is dedicated to introducing individuals experiencing socioeconomic challenges to post-secondary education
February 23, 2010
DEARBORN / Feb. 23, 2010---The University of Michigan-Dearborn is gearing up to host its annual On the Move: College is an Option! event, a free one-day outreach program dedicated to introducing individuals experiencing socioeconomic challenges to post-secondary education.
On the Move will be held from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 16 at the campuss Fairlane Center North Building, located off of Hubbard Drive.
Alumna Beverly Alexander, a division manager with the Detroit Recreation Department, will speak at the event along with current UM-Dearborn student Suzette Price, who participates in the campuss Student Outreach and Academic Resources (SOAR) Program.
Alexander has the distinction of being the first graduate of UM-Dearborns SOAR program, formerly known as Women on the Move: College is an Option. She also is a licensed and ordained minister who has devoted nearly 25 years working with high-risk girls and young women, inspiring them to overcome personal adversities. A SOAR student, Price is a member of the Women in Learning and Leadership (WILL) program and serves as president of the Dearborn chapter of Student Veterans of America and co-commander-in-chief of the Student Veteran Association.
On the Move offers both encouragement and practical advice for non-traditional prospective students seeking a pathway to begin or complete their college education, according to Ellen Judge-Gonzalez, coordinator of the event and director of UM-Dearborns SOAR Program. For 13 years, this outreach effort has brought together area universities, community colleges and human service organizations with one common goal--to improve the lives of those in our metropolitan area who need it most through access to education.
Accompanied by volunteer mentors, participants attend a college course; hear a panel discussion of returning students who share their own college experiences; and receive information on how to apply for college, register for classes, and apply for financial aid and scholarships. Representatives from local colleges, universities, and community service organizations will staff informational tables.
The event is sponsored by UM-Dearborns Office of the Provost, UM-Dearborns Commission for Women, and the American Association of University Women, Dearborn branch.
Interested individuals may register either online at www.casl.umd.umich.edu/om_participant or by calling the SOAR office at 313-593-3960. Those interested in volunteering to mentor at the event may do so online at www.casl.umd.umich.edu/om_mentor. The deadline to register as a participant or a mentor is Friday, March 12.
The University of Michigan-Dearborn does not necessarily endorse speakers views.
