Volunteer Statement
As Red Butte Garden volunteers, we take pride in our efforts to support the Garden by working alongside the staff, with dedication and passion to ensure the Garden's success.
Volunteering at Red Butte Garden is an opportunity for us to support a community treasure, increase our knowledge, develop and share our interests and skills, create long-lasting friendships with dedicated individuals and have our efforts valued and appreciated.
Volunteer Spotlight
In 1988, the Red Butte Garden that volunteer Beverly Sudbury (Bev) was first introduced to would be unrecognizable to today's visitors. At that time, the formal gardens, which now consist of 18 acres, were only two small beds located on each side of the waterfall in the lower gardens; what we now know as the Amphitheater was a University of Utah waste site, filled with an immense amount of paper and other material. No Rose Garden, no Terrace Gardens, no Children's Garden — just the vast 100 acres of open, somewhat disturbed land that had been transferred from Fort Douglas to the University of Utah and opened in 1985 to the public as Red Butte Garden.
Bev's first time volunteering for the Garden was at a plant sale. Having recently completed Master Gardener classes, she felt that she and her husband, Don, would have something unique to offer. They spent a day labeling, pricing, and setting up for the sale. From there, a budding acquaintance with gardener Rodger Whittaker brought Bev and Don into the Garden itself. After planting the two original lower-garden beds with annuals, then with perennials transplanted from their own home garden, the Sudbury's began to watch the Garden grow into the marvel it is today.
Bev and Don, along with Mary Jo Reiter and Janice Tolhurst in the Greenhouse, and Craig and Sue Pyper in the administrative offices, became the seeds and roots of Red Butte Garden's Volunteer Program which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.
Following Don's death in 2003 (visitors can see his memorial bench southwest of the Water Pavilion, where he and Bev first began to cultivate the Garden), Bev realized that she was unable to work in the Garden without him. Unwilling to give up Red Butte Garden as a personal sanctuary, she stayed involved in other ways by joining the Garden Guides and School Programs volunteers. Bev found a new passion in sharing the Garden with others and took comfort in the new ways the Garden could fulfill her.
Speaking with Bev today, it is clear that the Garden did not let her down. She is brimming with stories of school children who touched her heart as she led them on field trips through the Garden and of meeting visitors with whom she is still in touch. According to Bev, another important reason she has stayed at the Garden for 25 years is, "The staff: it is always changing, but is always great. They take me as I am; they accept the way I do things, even if it's not by the book."
Bev's characteristic modesty is seen here, as Bev is not just accepted by the staff, but whole-heartedly embraced for all she has given and continues to give to the Garden. I learned early on in my time at the Garden that Bev is, at the very least, a Garden institution; the amount of love and respect that the staff holds for Bev is overwhelming and the ways that she has touched so many of us is remarkable. Having asked the staff about their experiences with Bev, I realized quickly that all the stories and kind words for her could never fit into a one-page article. Greenhouse Coordinator Michelle Cook comments, "Bev is a ray of sunshine; it's no wonder her plants grow so well. She is wonderful in sharing her knowledge in a kind, encouraging, inspiring way. She is hardworking, dedicated, and thoughtful in all that she does." Chris Mautz, the Garden's concert manager, says of Bev, "I truly believe that her spirit and service have shaped the Garden in more ways than we know. Red Butte Garden is a better place because of Bev, and I am grateful to call her a friend." I am too. As the Volunteer Coordinator, I am constantly impressed by Bev's dedication and kindness, her energy and enthusiasm, and her limitless love for the Garden and everyone who sets foot in it.
As someone who has been personally touched and changed by the Garden, and the relationships I have found here, I find it impossible to not share Bev's final interview words. After being asked what she would want people to know about volunteering at Red Butte Garden, she says, "You need people in your life; you need someone to share your life with. You can find that at the Garden. It helps to have a reason to get up and do something, to not just sit at home. [Volunteering at the Garden] is like being married — it might not always be smooth, simple, and agreeable, but the overall thing is worth it. Always."

Guess I will start this here. Talked to the RE this morning and she agreed with OB that I should not go past 38 weeks due to placenta issues and my medical conditions. So I will def. be having this baby in September instead of October.
I had an ultrasound this morning as well. Things look great! Saw a gest sac which measured 11.56 and yolk sac was 2.52. RE said we will definitely see a heartbeat next week based on todays ultrasound.
My beta's have been pretty high so they were concerned about 2 babies but there was only 1 at the ultrasound today. The RE did say that a second baby could appear next week in the same sac but that it's most likely a singleton pregnancy, which is better for my body and baby anyways.

Judy Greer: I don't want government in my banks.
Andrea Savage: I don't want government in my classrooms.
Kate Beckinsale: Where do I want government? In my vagina!
Andrea Savage: In my vagina.

Andrea Savage: In my mother's vagina.
Judy Greer: In my daughter's vagina.
Kate Beckinsale: [Sniffles] In my great grandmother's vagina.
Andrea Savage: My right to choose? What about my right to choose to not have a choice?
Kate Beckinsale: Being a woman means having a vagina. But, it doesn't mean we want to have control of it.
Andrea Savage: They're gooshy and they secrete things. Have you ever really looked at it? It looks like an unshaven clown.
Judy Greer: They're actually kind of scary. They're like a black hole. Like a massive black hole that lures thousands of stars into its unrelenting gravitational pull. No, no, n-n-n-no. Not thousand. Just one. Sorry. I messed, I messed that up. It's one star. It lures one star.
Andrea Savage: Joey! You can't have a cookie before dinner. Look, I make big decisions all day. And now the Democrats want me to make even more?
Judy Greer: I could have the government provide access to affordable birth control. Decide when I want to get pregnant, and do tests on the fetus to make sure it's healthy and then have a baby.
Kate Beckinsale: Or, the government could restrict birth control, up my chances of getting pregnant with an unwanted child.
Andrea Savage: Forcing me to have an invasive vaginal ultrasound with no diagnostic purpose.
Judy Greer: Scare me into refusing tests that they say more often than not end in abortion.
Kate Beckinsale: And then have a baby. It's just easier.
Judy Greer: Who are you gonna listen to? Your doctor?
Andrea Savage: Or a Republican?
Kate Beckinsale: Don't you want someone like your dad in your vagina? I do.
Andrea Savage: I do.
Judy Greer: Oh! I'd love to have my dad involved in my vagina!
Andrea Savage: Luckily, during rape and incest, my omnipotent vagina knows it's wrong and secretes a hormone to keep me from getting pregnant. We all win!
Kate Beckinsale: Let the Oval Office take care of your oval office.
Judy Greer: Open up your legs and let the government in.

Bookmark this page to get updates as our teams leave on mission this summer.
The 2013 mission trip to Malaysia will put students in a culture of Sikhism, where Sikhs believe "Every human being is the Light of the Divine contained in a human form" (cf. www.sikhnet.com).
Malaysia has a large population of Sikhs and Truett-McConnell students will live for two weeks in Sikh communities, engaging Sikhs with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Light of the World.
Though students will already have a working knowledge of the Sikh culture, the mission trip will provide further training and serve as a laboratory for students to experience cross-cultural missions.
Details: May 20 - June 4, $3,565
The 2013 mission trip to Thailand will give students the opportunity to engage Buddhists and Muslims with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. While Thailand is predominately Buddhist, many Muslims live there, too. Students will be exposed to Buddhists and Muslims in their workplaces and homes, thus providing opportunities to share Christ in a variety of cross-cultural settings.
Of particular note is the opportunity students will have to interact directly with Buddhist Monks.
Details: July 3 - 20, $3,326
For more info call theWorld Missions Center: 706.865.2134, x. 292.
One of Dr. Pruitt's passions is preparing students to engage the world for Christ. Whether lecturing in a formal classroom setting or teaching in a small village in Tanzania, Dr. Pruitt equips those called by God to minister internationally. Dr. Pruitt's vast multicultural experiences over the past fourteen years uniquely prepared him to train up a generation to take the Gospel of Christ to every corner of the globe.
The World Missions Center at Truett-McConnell College is a reality birthed from the heartbeat of Truett-McConnell's President, Dr. Emir Caner. Dr. Caner had a heart for world missions long before he became president. His involvement in taking the Gospel to the nations convinced him of the absolute necessity of a World Missions Center at Truett-McConnell College. Within his first year as President, Dr. Caner's vision became a reality. WMC@TMC exists to better prepare students and Georgia Baptist Churches to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the nations.
Dr. H. Edward Pruitt, coauthor of The Costly Call: Modern Day Stories of Muslims who Found Christ and The Costly Call: The Untold Story, has traveled nearly two million miles and worked extensively with missionaries in 70 countries. He is the founding Director of the World Missions Center at Truett-McConnell College and Associate Professor of Christian Studies. Dr. Pruitt served as the Associate Director of the Center for Great Commissions Studies at Southeastern Seminary in Wake Forest, and adjunct professor of missions at Southeastern College at Wake Forest for twelve years prior to his appointment at Truett-McConnell. He graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Theology from Florida Baptist Theological College in 1993, Masters of Divinity degree from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2000, and received a Masters of Theology in Missiology from the University of South Africa in 2007. Dr. Pruitt also received a Doctorate of Theology in Missions at the University of South Africa in 2009. He has been married to his wife Debi since October 1971. They have two sons, Byron and Mitchell, and five grandchildren, Jacob, Samantha, Dylan, Chelsea, and Caleb.

If you're like many, you firmly believe Craft Beer should be it's own food group. I'd like to take a moment and introduce you to one of the best success stories; and one of the best Craft Beers in the Great Lakes: The Keweenaw Brewing Company's Widow Maker Black Ale.
First, you need to be able to find this little bit of brewed heaven. As of last check with the corporate offices in South Range, Michigan in the states Upper Peninsula; it's distributed in Michigan, Wisconsin, and limited portions of Minnesota (Thank God)
Don't let the name - or the appearance fool you! This Black Ale has a light flavor with what the KBC calls clean and smooth, easy on the hops and easy on the palate; this light bodied ale has a surprising depth of malt flavors with pleasant hints of a smoky molasses. It looks like a Stout, but drinks more like a Pilsner and goes well with any meal or after a round of golf on a hot day.
It's name, like all six KBC brands currently available on the market is
based in the rich history of Michigan's U.P. A Widow Maker isn't a bad
stretch of road, rather it's a pneumatic (air-driven) drill was once used to help make mining ore
more efficient. Compressed air was fed into the drill, which operated a
piston that hammered the bit into the rock as it rotated in the chuck.
Once the hole was deep enough, explosives were placed inside to break
the ore into more manageable pieces. Water was not used in conjunction
with this particular drill to lubricate the bit so a huge amount of dust
was created. The drill earned the nickname "widowmaker" because many of
the men who operated the drill died from illnesses related to inhaling
too much dust.
Keweenaw Brewing Company began production in 2004 and is the hops-induced vision of Dick Gray and Paul Boissevain. Dick, a Michigan Tech graduate was looking for a way to return to the Copper Country. Paul, meanwhile, was introduced to – and seduced by – the crystal clear waters of nearby Lake Superior, the beauty of the surrounding area, and the small-town charm of Houghton, Michigan. The two men, whose passion for beer runs as deep as Superior, are the driving force behind Keweenaw Brewing Company.
Don't be afraid of the Dark!!! If you can find it, get it as cold as possible and enjoy.
Other KBC Brands:
Olde Ore Dock Scottish Ale
Pick Axe Blonde Ale
Lift Bridge Brown Ale
November Gale Pale Ale
Red Jacket Amber Ale

Every man needs a good belt. Why not make yours a fashion statement as well as a functional part of your wardrobe? A classic leather belt in a basic color is a serious staple that will do you right for years. Choose one with studs to show off your bad boy attitude, or go for a reversible style for ultimate versatility.
Pull your whole look together with any of our stylish men's belts. Sure, belts are a functional accessory, and often a necessity, but that doesn't mean they have to be boring. Beef up your wardrobe and inject some personality into your waistline with a classic leather men's belt, a modern reversible belt, or a bold studded belt. There are so many options! Rely on a classic leather belt to carry you through all seasons and all occasions. Pick handsome black or brown leather, or make a style statement with a bold pop of color. This is a style staple that's not going anywhere (ever), so it's worth it to invest in a finely crafted piece that will last for years to come. And feel free to spice things up with a fun buckle. Experiment with various designs, from punk to modern chic, to achieve a look that matches your personality perfectly. A studded belt is another way to update the classic leather version. It'll add some edge to your casual weekend look, and give you a dangerous bad boy vibe. Also keep an eye out for our reversible belts—these wardrobe all-stars do double duty with two great looks in one. What could be more versatile? Belts, our most functional accessory, offer more stylish variations than you might expect. We love to broadcast our style in any way we can, and we know you do too. So why not keep up to date with a trendy mens belt, chosen to match your personality and enhance your look? A well-chosen belt is a serious upgrade.

Council Tax Support
Changes to Council Tax Benefit
As part of Welfare Reform the Government has announced that Council Tax Benefit is to be abolished and replaced from April 2013 by new local financial support schemes, called Council Tax Support. The Government also announced that the amount it pays local authorities for their new schemes will be cut by10%. For the City Council this means a funding gap of £11.08million.
The proposed Council Tax Support Scheme was presented to and approved by the City Council's Cabinet on 8 January 2013.
Please view the essential information below for more details.
- Council Tax Support
The approved Council Tax Support scheme for Birmingham will provide 100% protection to the following claimants:
•A claimant or their partner who is a pensioner
•A Claimant or their partner who is entitled to a disability premium or disabled child premium
•A Claimant or partner who is entitled to Employment Support Allowance and who also receives a qualifying disability related benefit
•A Claimant or their partner who receives a carers premium
•A claimant or their partner who receives a war disablement pension, war widows pension or war widower's pension
•A claimant or their partner who has a dependant child under 6
Claimants of working age (other than those listed above) will now have to make a contribution themselves towards their Council Tax bill.
As Council Tax Support will be calculated as a means tested discount, the amount each household will have to pay towards their Council Tax will be dependent on their individual circumstances.
To help you make decisions on how to pay your Council Tax please visit the Council Tax / Paying your Council Tax page for more information.
- Council Tax Support Appeals
If you do not fully understand how we have made a decision on your Council Tax Support claim you can write to us and ask for a more detailed explanation. This must be done within one month of the date on your decision letter.
You can challenge any decision we make on your Council Tax Support claim at anytime if you think that the entitlement is wrong or the amount of Council Tax Support awarded to you is wrong. You would need to write to us requesting that the decision is looked at again, giving details of why you think it is incorrect.
If you still disagree with our decision, or you have not received a response within two months of your challenge, you can appeal to an independent body called the Valuation Tribunal.
You may not agree with the Council Tax Support Scheme that Birmingham City Council has set up but please be aware that you can only appeal to the Valuation Tribunal against a decision regarding Council Tax Support and not against the scheme itself.
The above details are included in an attachment to be found on this page.
- Claiming Council Tax Support
If you are currently receiving Council Tax Benefit, your claim will be automatically transferred to Council Tax Support with effect from 1 April 2013. There is no need for you to do anything yourself.
If you wish to make a new claim for Council Tax Support from 1 April 2013 onwards you can do so by using our self serve option.
- Reporting changes in your circumstances
It is important that you notify us of any changes in your household circumstances as soon as possible. This is to ensure that we are paying you the correct amount of Council Tax Support.
Changes to circumstances may mean that your award of Council Tax Support may go up or they may go down. It is therefore important that they are reported promptly. You can do this by using the self serve option on the Reporting of Changes in Circumstances page
- Deductions for adults in the household
Council Tax Support entitlement may change if you have other adults (apart from your partner) living with you.
Deductions can be made from the amount of benefit you get if you share your home with any adults who are not dependant on you – for example, adult children, relatives or friends. These deductions are made because it is assumed that these people should pay something towards your Council Tax, whether they actually do so or not. If you are in this position you may already be aware that these are called non dependant deductions.
The amount deducted from your Council Tax Support entitlement is based on the weekly gross income of the non dependant.
The deducations for 2014/15 are as follows:
Income Group of Non- Dependant CTS Persons in receipt of Income Support, JSA (IB), ESA (IR) Assessment or Pension Credit NIL Aged 18 and in remunerative work with a weekly gross income of: up to £188.00 £3.70 £188.00 to £325.99 £7.45 £326.00 to £405.99 £9.40 over £406.00 £11.25
- Council Tax Support Discretionary Fund
The Council Tax Support Discretionary Hardship Payment Scheme is a limited fund that is awarded as a short term measure to help claimants affected by the Council Tax Support scheme, who are experiencing extreme financial difficulty.
To help us decide on your case, we need you to print off the application form and complete the relevant information by giving details of your income and spending. Once complete, you should sign the form and send it to the address shown on page 3 of the application form.
Please note whilst your claim is being processed you MUSTcontinue to pay your Council Tax bill by the due dates.

Reducing Reporting Burden
Filling out government paperwork can be repetitive, time-consuming, and costly to those who receive federal funds. An oft-heard query, and complaint, from recipients of government funds: How many times do I have to submit the same information to different government agencies?
That's a legitimate complaint. Indeed, it can be a pain to fill out even a single government report, as anyone who's prepared one knows. But when confronted with the prospect of submitting multiple reports on the same government award—sometimes using different paper and electronic formats—it can be downright maddening.
The Recovery Board has spent more than three years in the data trenches, collecting spending reports from recipients of Recovery Act funds. Some recipients also are required to file similar reports with other agencies—and they are really not all that happy with that bureaucratic requirement. And, frankly, we don't blame them. It would seem more sensible to consolidate government reporting requirements so that recipients could submit reports to a single collection system.
With that in mind, the Recovery Board will be testing whether a centralized system of data collection and warehousing would save recipients and government agencies money and time. We are calling this pilot project the Grants Reporting Information Project, or GRIP for short. GRIP will be modeled after the reporting system the Board created for the Recovery program.
GRIP will collect financial data from recipients of non-Recovery grant awards made by several agencies. The recipients include seven universities, a community college, the State of Nebraska, and a local city in Maryland. The agencies include the Departments of Agriculture, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Housing, Interior, and Justice; the Environmental Protection Agency; the National Aeronautics and Space Administration; the National Science Foundation; the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; and the Office of Naval Research.
Test recipients will submit their reports to Grants.FederalReporting.gov. The website is an offshoot of FederalReporting.gov, the password-protected site developed with Environmental Protection Agency technology to gather spending data from Recovery Act recipients for the past three years. EPA has worked closely with the Board in developing the GRIP project.
GRIP data will be collected through November 9. Once the reports are in, participating agencies will evaluate the data reports for accuracy, completeness, and compatibility with existing financial reporting systems. If this proof of concept model proves feasible, we would next sponsor a full pilot project in which agencies would use the centralized system over a more extended period.
This could end up being a big deal if this initial pilot project suggests significant efficiencies and savings. Once the results are in, I will report the findings in this blog.
– Michael Wood, Executive Director, Recovery Board
One Response
In my opinion, there should be a single database, personal data, mass use, as the first part and the second part should be completed by each agency.
This is always the same repetitive data such as name, identification, address, date of birth, and then every state agency may add their particular requirements. Add to that a data collection procedure for processing only at the national, help people, is often called "single state"

The highest grossing 2012 Best Picture nominee, to date, is Les Misérables. Tom Hooper's all-star, all-live singing adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical has brought in $340 million worldwide. Making it official, once and for all, that people really love to watch sad people singing. Just, not as much as watching superheroes kick butt. Joss Whedon's The Avengers which is an Oscar nominee itself in the Visual Effects category earned a staggering $1.5 billion worldwide since its May 2012 release.
RELATED: The Avengers' Passes 'Star Wars' Box Office!
While none of the cast will likely get to same in the glory on February 24 as say, Les Mis' Anne Hathaway or possibly Hugh Jackman, the Avengers will still have a chance to assemble on the Oscar stage. The Academy announced on Wednesday, via Twitter, that the Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, Hawkeye, and Nick Fury will all be presenters at the ceremony. Okay, if we're getting all technical here: Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, and Samuel L. Jackson, respectively. (Their co-stars Scarlett Johansson and Chris Hemsworth were not slated as presenters and there's no word on which category they'll be presenting for.)
RELATED: 'Planet Hulk' and 'Avengers 3' Mark the Latest Marvel Rumors What Do We Believe?!
It's unlikely that the stars will come out in full Avengers garb (Ruffalo's would provide...a challenge) you can pretty much take this one to the bank: they will be witty banter and reparte between them. Oh, will there be witty banter and reparte. Though, how amazing would it be if, instead, later into the show they just decided to extend the post-credits restaurant scene and everyone stares off in exhausted silence.

This picture makes it seem like my 19-month-old twin boys get along great and for the most part they do....
...however when they don't, I've often thought about how to handle this as a parent. I realize that EVERY brother and sister fight...but when does the normal "fighting" turn into something more that requires serious attention? I recently came across this, which helped me:
The problem comes about when sibling rivalry takes on a tone of bullying...this sort of bullying is not normal...(read more here) from the Health News Digest
There is certainly a fine line and for every parent that line is a little different.
One thing my wife and I have done is give EXTRA praise to our kids every time they share something. A great example of this is after bath every night, while my wife gets one of the boys in their PJ's...the other one will go grab 2 pacifiers that we leave out and go give it to the other boy. (It's actually really cute to watch - they will put it directly in the other one's mouth) and when they do my wife and I always say "gooood boy!" and clap.
Since we clap every time they do that, now they clap when they do it and get really excited. Again, it's pretty cute and makes us feel like we might be doing at-least one thing right in this whole parenting thing!!

Degrees That Attract Employers
Learn more about bachelor's degrees that stand out to employers.
Thinking about going back to school to earn your degree, but not sure what to study?
You should carefully consider how employers will view your degree, says Dani Babb, founder and CEO of The Babb Group, a higher education consulting firm. In fact, it's not unusual for employers to find some degrees more fetching than others.
"Looking at how marketable you and your degree will be when you are finished - and what the return on your investment will be - matters a lot," Babb adds.
So what degrees are marketable to employers? To find out, we talked to Babb and looked at the National Association of Colleges and Employers' (NACE) survey "Job Outlook 2012," which polled employers nationwide and asked about their hiring intentions for various degrees.
Keep reading to learn more...
Degree #1 - Business Administration
When it comes to bachelor's degrees, hiring managers appear to be very attracted to business administration grads.
In fact, business-related bachelor's degrees outperformed all other general categories, including engineering, computer sciences, or liberal arts, according to the NACE survey.
More specifically, 48.5 percent employers said they plan to hire 2012 grads with a bachelor's in business administration/management.
Hot factor: "Business administration is one of those staple degrees that is consistently in need - where the student is exposed to a lot," says Babb.
Click to Find the Right Business Administration Program.
What you'll learn: According to the College Board, an organization of colleges and universities that administers tests such as the SAT, a business administration and management program can prepare students to "plan, organize, direct, and control an organization's activities." Common courses include business ethics and law, operations management, and marketing.
Career options: A degree in business administration could potentially prepare you to pursue a variety of careers in the business and finance world. Financial analyst and budget analyst are just two examples of career paths that typically require a bachelor's in business administration, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
Degree #2 - Accounting
Want to make yourself more marketable to employers? You might want to consider grabbing a calculator and studying accounting.
According to the NACE survey, accounting finished second overall (right behind finance) among the top bachelor's degrees in demand. Ultimately, over 59 percent of employers plan to hire 2012 accounting grads.
Hot factor: Why is this degree so in-demand? Babb believes it is because rules and requirements are becoming increasingly complex due to new legislation and regulation.
"Companies want to stay out of trouble and they want to seamlessly get through audits; and they need good people advising them to do that," she says.
Click to Find the Right Accounting Program.
What you'll learn: Accounting majors could learn about crunching numbers and financial reports through common courses like accounting information systems, auditing, and tax accounting, says the College Board.
Career options: According to the U.S. Department of Labor, a bachelor's degree in accounting is generally required to prepare to pursue occupations in finance, such as an accountant, auditor, tax examiner, and revenue agent.
Degree #3 - Psychology
Did you know that the NACE survey rated it as one of the most in-demand liberal arts degrees for hiring purposes?
It's true. In fact, it actually tied with political science, with 71.4 percent of employers planning to hire bachelor's in psychology grads in 2012.
Hot factor: According to Babb, a psychology graduate understands the human condition, which is a helpful skill for those looking to move into human resources. For example, "Companies know it is cheaper to retain employees than hire new ones, and psychologists can help that happen," she adds.
Click to Find the Right Psychology Program.
What you'll learn: "Psychology majors study the way humans and animals act, feel, think, and learn," according to the College Board, which notes that common courses include perception and sensation and social psychology.
Career options: Some employers may hire social workers who have earned a bachelor's degree in psychology, says the U.S. Department of Labor. Interested in more of a research role? No problem. According to the Department of Labor, a bachelor's degree in psychology could help you prepare for a career as a survey researcher.
Degree #4 - Information Technology (IT) & Information Systems
If you are leaning toward an information technology degree, you'll be happy to hear this: The NACE survey found that 59.3 percent of employers will seek computer and information sciences 2012 grads.
In fact, this finished as the third most sought-after bachelor's degree. And 43.8 percent of employers plan to hire candidates with a similar tech bachelor's degree - management information systems.
Hot factor: According to Babb, "IT & information systems will likely be hot for decades and has been for some time."
Since many IT professionals are self-taught, earning a degree may give you an edge in the job market. "The science and technology behind computing is ever-evolving and requires a top-notch curriculum," Babb adds.
Click to Find the Right IT & Information Systems Program.
What you'll learn: "IT majors focus on how information and computing systems support business, research, and communications needs," says the College Board. Computer networking, database management systems, and Web technologies are among some of the common courses.
Career options: According to Babb, earning a bachelor's degree in IT & information systems "provides building blocks for graduates to go on to be engineers, programmers, network or systems analysts, information systems engineers, team leaders, managers, and even broaden horizons into IT project management."

Tuckness named Bullfighter of the Year
Meeteetse native earns top PRCA honor
Meeteetse's Dusty Tuckness has been around rodeo his entire life. So, more than anyone, he could appreciate what it meant earlier this month when he was named the PRCA bullfighter of the year.
Panthers fall to No. 1 teams
Top squads in 2A, 3A take down Powell
After spending more than 20 minutes building a nine-point lead on Class 2A's top-ranked Lovell Bulldogs, the Powell Panthers watched as it all came unraveled in the span of 10 as the team fell 55-50 in boys' basketball action on Thursday.
Trappers split duals to end 2010
No. 2 North Idaho pushes past NWC
Second-ranked North Idaho overwhelmed No. 6 Northwest College 27-12 in a meeting of NJCAA wrestling heavyweights on Friday in Couer d'Alene, Idaho. The Trappers rebounded on Saturday to close out the 2010 portion of their schedule with a 24-17 victory over No. 12 Southwestern Oregon.
"It was nice to get the win at the end of the semester against Southwestern Oregon," said Trapper head wrestling coach Jim Zeigler. "We had some guys who wrestled well against some tough competition, and we had some guys who saw they need to work on some things and get better against that caliber of competition."
League rules on Quake goalie incident
Team forfeits three wins
Yellowstone Quake team officials announced they will be required to forfeit three wins as the result having an over-age player on their roster. The ruling was handed down this past weekend by the North Pacific Hockey League (NORPAC).
"We expected this," said Quake head coach Craig Furstenau. "It didn't come as a surprise to us."
SPORTS GUY: A winter flurry
Quick hits and short bits in an attempt to clear my notebook and my mind, just in time for the holiday season:
• It's hard to say who had the more positive weekend, basketball-wise around Powell this past week. The Trapper women picked up a pair of huge conference wins on the home floor while both Powell High School teams took to the road to begin 3A West play. Both came home with 2-0 records.
• Don't think the Panther boys' 2-0 start to 3A West play went unnoticed either. The school picked up a pair of votes in this week's WyoPreps.com boys' basketball poll. The team hasn't cracked the top five yet, but simply getting recognition is an indication that things are off to a good start for head coach Mike Heny's sophomore campaign.
Quake rumble into new year
Team batters Butte in first post-Christmas contest
Seven Yellowstone Quake players scored goals, including three during a four-minute span of the third period, as Wyoming's only Junior A hockey team returned from the Christmas break with an 8-1 thrashing of Butte on New Year's Eve. The game was the first action for both clubs in two weeks.
Evan Dixon scored a shorthanded goal 11 minutes into the first period to open the scoring for the Quake. Tyler Torkelson and TJay Lozier added goals before the first intermission, giving the Quake a 3-0 lead.
Trapper women split Arizona games
Strong shooting buries South Mountain
The Northwest College Trappers returned from Arizona with a 1-1 split of hardwood action. NWC opened its second-semester schedule with an 81-58 win over South Mountain before falling at NJCAA Division II No. 7 Mesa the following night by a 76-47 final score.
"Mesa was perhaps the best team we've seen all season," said Trapper coach Janis Beal. "They were quick. They had good post players. They pressured us on defense. They were the real deal."
Something old, something new to end 2010
Sports highlights continued through year's end
(Editor's note: This article concludes a three-part series on the sports highlights around Powell in 2010. This installment looks at the months of Sept.-Dec. The first two parts of the series appeared in last week's issues of the Powell Tribune.)
As the 2010 calendar wound down, the local sports scene continued to give fans plenty to cheer about. For some programs it was a little of the old, while others were experiencing things far newer.
NWC defeats Yavapai
Trappers return 1-1 from Arizona road trip
The Northwest College Trappers split a pair of games in Yuma, Ariz., to begin the second semester men's basketball schedule. The Trappers dropped a 70-54 decision to Arizona Western before bouncing back the following night with a 67-55 win over Yavapai.
In their first contest of 2011, the Trapper men got off to a fast start, but ultimately were hobbled by a tenacious Arizona Western defensive unit. The host Matadors, who began the year receiving votes in the NJCAA Top 25, limited Northwest to just 23 second-half points on the way to the victory.
Panther hoop teams return from recess
PHS looks to stay atop 3A West race
After almost three weeks off, the Powell High School basketball teams return to the hardwood this Friday for the start of a four-game homestand. Three of those four games will involve clashes with opponents from the 3A West.
Both Powell's boys' and girls' teams currently boast 2-0 conference marks, making it even more important to hold serve on their home floor.

For dessert, I decided to win one over to the vegan side by making Peanut Butter cookies with chocolate chunks. The recipe is from Vive. Her Peanut Better cookies. I added a bit too much peanut butter, so I used quick oats to bind it. Also, I used around 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, stirred in at the last moment.
OMG, they were sooo good. I made small cookies and actually got 22 cookies from the batch. My son's friend kept raving about how good they were, and he agreed that vegan cookies ROCK MAN!!
Dreena, you are a cookie Goddess! My kids LOVE you!
As I've mentioned, I need to lose weight.. (funny how I just blogged about cookies.. but I only ate 1.. I'm not a huge sweet fan, fortunately).. so, I've decided to bid farewell to a calorie laden favorite of mine.. Vegenaise. I just like it too much. I will use my remaining vegenaise for my kids and I bought myself some Nayonaise, which I like. When this is done, I will be making my own "mayo".. I would never use Earth Balance on my food like I do Vegenaise... and it's just as fattening.
Here's my first sandwich with Nayonaise. It is full of processed fake meat, which I enjoy about once every two weeks or so.. but it's low in calories. The sandwich was on commerical whole wheat with nayonaise, dijon, lettuce, tomato and pickles.. oh and the "salami".. the entire sandiwch had 330 calories and 20 grams of protein. I ate it for bfast and am not hungry yet and it's 3:30 pm.
For dinner, we are having MooShi Seitan.. I also used a bunch of cilantro in this recipe.. we'll be eating it over brown rice, as it is very brothy.. It's my favorite way to eat it.
This pic really sucks, but food is not always pretty.. I also added a lot of bean sprouts to this recipe because I needed to use them..
My SIL is going to have her baby any day now! She was due yesterday... My neice.. Arwen! I am sooo excited... You will see many pics of this baby.. that's for sure! I can barely think about it without crying... to see my brother hold his daughter for the first time.. omg.. it doesn't get better than that! Since I know what an amazing experience it is to see your child... for the first time.. man... he is going to be sooo overwhlemed and amazed.. It is amazing.
I can't wait to meet her!!
Several of you asked about my BBQ sauce recipe.. I usually throw things together, depending on what I have on hand..
Yesterday's sauce was made from:
1 tbsp canola oil
2 small onions, diced
4 cloves garlic
1 6oz can tomato paste
18 oz water (fill the can 3 times)
dry mustard to taste.. (I don't measure).. but probably at least 3 tbsp
about 2 tbsp molasses (again, to taste)
a tiny bit of Kal Stevia
about 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 capful liquid smoke
Louisiana Hot Sauce to taste
1/2 tsp Marmite (not necessary)
around 2 tbsp Vegan Worcestershire sauce.. (I have a bunch made up from a recipe.. I have to find that recipe again, since I'm almost out)
-basically.. saute the onion and garlic and a pinch of salt in the oil... until nice and fragrant.. then add the tomato paste. Allow it to caramelize for several minutes, then deglaze with the water and vinegar. Add the dry spices and remaining ingredients. Fine tune it to your liking.. this is only an approximation, as I don't measure much.

Going to the grocery store is probably just one more thing on your to-do list. Grocers, on the other hand, take your each and every visit very seriously. The sales, even the lay out of the store, are designed to get you to buy more.How many times have you gone to get groceries and spent a lot more than you planned to spend? Well, it's no accident. Grocery store management has one big goal -- to get you to buy. So, they do things to help you along a little bit. Do you go for the 10 for $10 or two for one deals all of the time? It's not a deal if you get 10 and eight of whatever it is goes bad before you can eat them. The discount applies if you get one or five -- just get what you need. Does your cart matter? Market research shows the bigger the cart the more you buy. Some stores offer smaller sizes, so use them. Buying a bunch of carrots or a head of lettuce is cheaper than buying the pre-chopped bags. Consumer Reports says the convenient bags can cost five times more. And buying in bulk is not always cheaper. Be sure to check the unit price, it can be a trick to get you to buy a big supply of something when all you need is one package. Finally, we've all walked into the store to find everything has been moved around. Grocers do that on purpose. We get into habits by going directly to the spots where we get our regular items. When they mix it up, you are forced to look around a bit and perhaps see new items and buy them. If you want to stick firmly to a budget, learn the new lay out quickly.

text: Erin Eagen and her friend's daughter went to see Taylor Swift at Ford Field on Saturday night. Arriving around 5:00 p.m. and in a hurry trying to get to a meet and greet, Eagen spent $20 to park a few blocks away on Brush at Division."The parking attendant had a vest on," she explained. "I paid him $20, and he gave me a receipt."Eagen got a ticket stub to put in her windshield, but didn't realize she had dropped her key. When she returned hours later around 11:00 p.m. with her sleepy seven-year-old concertgoer, her Cadillac was gone."I just turned to the little girl that was with me, and I told her it's okay. We're going to walk back to Ford Field because we had seen police officers there the whole night, and they'll help us figure out what to do next," Eagen said.However, she said four different officers just told her to walk to Greektown to get a cab, which she did."They told me that I should've paid more money than the $20 that I did pay, and I should've parked in a real lot, which I thought I had done," Eagen said.Back to that lot. Eagen had a ticket to park from Handy Parking. She had paid an attendant, or had she? Eagen said she later learned from police when she got her car back on Monday that she "paid $20 to a scam artist who was operating an illegal parking lot.""About 20 minutes after I parked it, one of the men who was operating the lot attempted to steal my car."Cops caught him in the act. The car is okay. It turned out police had impounded the Cadillac while she was at the concert. After spending $80 for a cab ride and $245 bucks to get her car back, Eagen hopes her story will serve as a warning for others to be careful where you park.Handy Parking said the lot where Eagen parked isn't one of theirs. Their attendants always have their license with them, and you can ask to see it. During big events, that license will often be hanging around their necks.Ray Scott, deputy director of Detroit's Buildings, Safety Engineering and Environmental Safety Department, also provided Fox 2 with the following statement:The City of Detroit's Buildings, Safety Engineering and Environmental Department issues business licenses to legitimate parking operators and shuts down illegal lots that spring up.~ Citizens should avoid giving money or car keys to anyone who is not wearing or displaying a Parking Lot Attendant I.D. Card, which is issued by the Detroit Police Department.~ If you question whether a parking lot is legitimate,~note the address and call the City's Business License Center at 313-224-3179, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Implementation of soft clipping
In analog synthesizers, the resonant filter uses a current limiting function,
preventing the signal from being too loud (soft clipping).
TAE® allows the reproduction of this current limiting function, making the sound
more natural. It also allows filters to enter self-oscillation like original
hardware synthesizers do.
Also, soft clipping can be a kind of saturation effect, but with a very
particular shape. Common shapes can't give good results compared to analog soft
clipping which is very particular to output amplification stages of analog
synthetisers, and is a critical component to "the analog sound".

The staff at FOX 2 teamed up with a local dance school to surprise our anchors with a flash mob during The Nine Wednesday morning.
While Jason Carr, Kam Carman and Lee Thomas prepared in the newsroom to talk about the new FOX show Mobbed , dozens of employees quietly mulled in their predetermined places before busting out to Lady Gaga's Bad Romance.
What ensued was a first for the morning show -- a coordinated dance, put together by Choreographer Michael Lemanski and a troupe of dancers from Juliana's Academy of Dance .

We were referred to Uncle Bob's Storage by a friend's strong recommendation, and even still the storage facility was pristine and well-organized, the associate was extremely well-groomed and professional, and the building was easy to navigate. Overall, my experience far exceeded my expectations.Desiree from Allen, TX

I don't get out to the storage very often but based on my last experience, I was very impressed with the facility and staff. I have had to speak on the phone with staff and they were always very professional and they did help me with my issues.John from Branford, CT

I recently had a problem of losing my car keys while at my storage location. Julio and Leo went above and beyond the 'call of duty' to make sure they could help me. Julio took his own personal time to help me locate my other set of keys. And, they contacted me within 2 days to let me know they found the lost set. This saved me $$$ and the frustrating time to get another set of specialized car keys. Throughout this process, they remained professional, courteous and looked for different options to solve what was my accidental problem. I would recommend this location and these gents to everyone! Thank you!Martha from Milford, CT

A Stonington man and two others have pleaded guilty in the midst of their trial in U.S. District Court in connection with two separate investment schemes that cost investors and lenders more than $20 million.
Robert Ponte, 59, of Stonington pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy, 14 counts of wire fraud and two counts of tax evasion. He could be sentenced to more than 80 years in prison on May 24.
Ponte and two co-conspirators had gone on trial before U.S. District Judge Robert N. Chatigny in Hartford on Feb. 7.
Robert Rivernider, 47, of Wellington, Fla., and his sister, Loretta Seneca, 50, of Boynton Beach, Fla., both pleaded guilty to conspiracy and wire fraud. They are scheduled to be sentenced May 21 and May 20, respectively.
"As the overwhelming evidence in this trial revealed, Rivernider and Ponte recruited individuals to invest their money by making false promises of guaranteed, high returns," stated U.S. Attorney David Fein. "Their investment program was nothing more than a Ponzi scheme, which left several investors in financial ruin. With the assistance of Ms. Seneca, these defendants also engaged in a real estate investment scheme that defrauded more individuals, as well as lending institutions."
According to Fein's office, Ponte and Rivernider used the Internet and other means to defraud investors of a "No More Bills" debt repayment program of about $3 million. The investors typically borrowed the funds from home equity lines of credit or their 401 (k) retirement plans with the promise of receiving returns of 7 to 10 percent. Ponte and Rivernider used the funds to pay for living expenses and for the pre-existing debts of other investors, according to the government. The men operated the scam from June 2005 to April 2008.
In a second scheme, Rivernider, Ponte and Seneca recruited borrowers to take out financing to purchase various investment properties, primarily in Tennessee and Florida, with financing from victim lenders. While representing that the properties were being sold at deep discount, Rivernider and Ponte marked up the price, often by as much as 25 percent, and falsely represented that the properties would produce sufficient income to cover the expenses and reduce the borrowers' debt burden.
The conspirators made false representations on loan applications and documents, according to the government. This scheme involved at least 100 properties, and cost lending institutions more than $20 million, according to the government.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Internal Revenue Service–Criminal Investigation and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys John H. Durham and Christopher W. Schmeisser.

Four theologians, each working in tandem with a missional pastor, presented on one movement of the liturgy: Gathering, Word, Meal, and Sending.
Click on the name of each presenter (below) to listen to audio. David Lose provided introductions for each speaker.
Paul Hoffman, Retired Pastor, Phinney Ridge Lutheran Church, Seattle, Washington
Jessicah Krey Duckworth, Program Director for Religion, The Lilly Endowment (Note: Q&A for both Paul Hoffman and Jessicah Krey Duckworth are found at the end of the second audio track.)

"As the second decade of the 21st century begins, we confess that the Holy Spirit is calling and sending the church of Jesus Christ into apostolic mission for the sake of God's world."
The first sentence of Luther Seminary's strategic plan sets an agenda for the Mid-Winter Convocation for 2014 on God's Mission and Worship. Its theological claims undergird the shape of the conference, organized around the Spirit's work in gathering for worship, breaking open Jesus' presence in word and meal, and sending in mission to a hurting and hungry world. We joined in God's work in Christ through the Spirit at a time when many churches are less sure than ever what their place is in society. Existing assumptions, while sustaining generations before us, seem in need of major revision. Assumptions like:
These assumptions are increasingly eroding today. In response to these assumptions, four practitioner/educator pairs thought through fresh theological and practical assumptions of our new era of apostolic mission. What is God up to in our midst, and what is God calling us to be and do? Listen in on the audio tracks (found above) to follow the conversation.
Mid-Winter Convocation is offered every year for the theological enrichment of lay and ordained ministry leaders and the Christian community at large. A national conference, convocation features scholars and teachers from Luther Seminary and around the world.

The King Fire has charred about 8,600 acres in the El Dorado National Forest in California.
TUOLUMNE COUNTY, CA (KTXL/CNN) - Threatening Yosemite National Park and burning through an area the size of Chicago, the Rim Fire has grown to more than 160,000 acres.
Containment has grown to 15 percent as firefighters work to cut fire lines and put out hot spots.
The Rim Fire has burned erratically, changing directions instantly.
"(Wildfires) can. They can create their own micro climate, much as it happened in Arizona where the fire changed directions and came back the other way," Public Information Officer Steve Stien said.
The Rim Fire appears to have a ferocious appetite and is scorching and scarring everything in its path.
Just days ago the fire made a run towards base camp, the command center for firefighters. Flames blackened the land right up to edge of the camp before making yet another turn.
"They were able to alleviate that danger and obviously save the base camp, which was a godsend," Stien said.
Campers at Berkeley's Tuolumne Family Camp were evacuated two days prior, but they left like the world was coming to an end. Flip flops, towels, even a car all left behind.
Firefighters are still putting out hot spots after a fire roared through a Berkeley camp Sunday afternoon. It appears like it's raining ash. It burned out a lot of the campground, gutted a vehicle, and the fire was so hot, it left pools of melted metal.
The view, once serene, is now devastating. Stone fire places looked like smoldering headstones, and fire is not the only danger.
Near the campground, trees burned through and through, no longer stable, were falling on the roadside.
The only thing certain about this fire is the sheer uncertainty of it all and that firefighters are working, watching, and wondering when they will put this out.
