LANCASTER — A 41-year-old Franklin woman trying to elude police on Route 117 Tuesday morning after hit-and-runs in Bolton and Stow eventually had a spectacular crash, her car landing upside down in the yard of the house at 2159 N. Main St. (Route 117), police said.
The out-of-control car came around the bend, catapulted off the road and somersaulted several times in the air, taking out five steel beams and uprooting trees in the yard of the home, before crash-landing on its roof on top of a parked Cadillac.
The driver, Diane Rovedo, was flown to UMass Memorial Medical Center — University campus in Worcester with what police described as minor injuries. She was conscious and alert when crews got to her, but it took emergency crews almost an hour to remove her from her 2003 Toyota Camry. She faces several motor vehicle charges, in addition to a charge of destruction of property.
Ms. Rovedo was allegedly involved in a hit-and-run about 8:45 a.m. Tuesday near Route 117 and Library Hill Road in Stow, where she was allegedly driving erratically on Route 117. Police there put out a bulletin to nearby communities.
A second hit-and-run occurred at 8:52 a.m. in front of Nashoba Regional High School in Bolton. No injuries were reported in either accident.
Moments before hearing the bulletin, Lancaster police Detective Everett L. Moody and Officer Patrick E. Mortimer were in a cruiser and saw a damaged vehicle headed west on Route 117 in Lancaster. The car was being driven on at least one rim.
With lights and sirens, the officers signaled for the driver to pull over.
"The female refused to stop," Detective Moody said. "We have no clue why she didn't stop. She knew the police were following her."
Officer Mortimer said that at one point the woman was driving on the wrong side of Route 117.
"She went to great lengths to avoid us," Officer Mortimer said.
Minutes later, the car went off the road just after a slight curve and crashed at 2159 N. Main St., near Crawford Truck Sales, shortly after 9 a.m.
The homeowner, Kevin Smith, said he and his wife have lived there for 30 years.
The Toyota is not the first car to have landed in their front yard, so about 10 years ago Mr. Smith installed five 6-by-6 steel beams at the edge of the road.
Mrs. Smith was home at the time of the crash and heard it. She called her husband on his cellphone at work.
"I don't know how she launched," Mr. Smith said. "She took out all five steel beams, and all these trees. This was a beautiful red maple that we planted about 25 years ago. It's destroyed. If the posts hadn't been there, she would have probably landed in the house."
The entire front yard looked as if a tornado had cut through: Downed trees littered the yard, 15- to 20-foot shrubs were uprooted, and a boulder had been thrown about 30 feet from the road, coming to rest under trees in the yard. Two of the steel posts were thrown across the yard, also landing under the trees.
"It took my flag off the post over there," Mr. Smith said, pointing to his fence. "It snapped it right off."
Mr. Smith surveyed the damage and contacted his insurance company. He said the important thing to him is that his wife was not hurt. Mr. Smith said that at just about the same time Monday morning, his wife had been getting into her car to head out to an appointment.
"If it would have happened yesterday," Mr. Smith said, "it would have been awful."

People come from all over the globe and all walks of life to run the Athens Marathon
Young and old, families, friends or lone challengers, serious athletes or fun runners, they all participate in their own style and at their own pace. And let's not forget those who throng the route in ebullient support, who cheer on each and every competitor until they are hoarse. A great surging and joyous mass of humanity takes on 5km, 10km or the full 42km, from Marathonas in the east to the finishing line at the 1896 Olympic Stadium. Extraordinary individual will-power meets a collective drive and heart-warming camaraderie in an event whose values have remained untarnished since the doughty Pheidippides set out on his legendary run 2,500 years ago, intent on informing the Athenians of a great victory, regardless of his own personal cost.
So, why not hotfoot it over to Athens yourself for a break that includes this wonderful celebration and presents you a capital that, like the marathon itself, can effortlessly shift its gears, in this case, between its staggering ancient heritage and its incredible modern and upbeat vibe. Experience firsthand the emotional roller-coaster as each runner strives to find the best of themselves and shares the emotional and physical highs and lows of their fellow racers. Feel an atmosphere charged with passion and commitment, where endurance is tested to the limit, no obstacle seems insurmountable and the rewards are not counted in money but in the hug of a loved one. Then, soak up the same atmosphere in a city alive with possibilities and the very same values that have kept up the marathon's popularity across the world for so long.
Athens is a pacesetter in so many ways. It is a city which can adapt and, inspired by its past, revels in the opportunities of renewal and revitalization. You can see this all around you in a bold new energy on the streets and the creative flair of a new generation. Freedom lives in its stunning graffiti art. Compassion shines in the warm embrace and hospitality of its people. Determination and innovation thrive as brand new wine bars and concept restaurants are up and running all over town. There's a sense of discovery when every backstreet can reveal a secret charm or special culinary treat. There's also a renewed desire for physical challenge to refresh the soul. Any visitor can 'go local', take to the bicycle and become a part of the new Athenian two-wheel lifestyle. There are countless themed walks available as well, which means you take a little exercise while taking in the sights. And all this is, quite naturally, offered along with hotels and services of the very highest quality.
A city break in Athens offers you a whole range of options and experiences, from the exciting to the relaxing. All the euphoria, emotions, real values and the indomitable human spirit that run through the marathon event are also bound up in the package ready and waiting for the city's visitors. And if you like, you can take it all at breakneck speed or otherwise take your time to savour the thrill. In fact, with Athens, 'The Pacesetter', you choose your own pace; your own way to enjoy a city combining the ancient and the modern, and all the energies and values that go with it.

Traditions are made to be broken. And Thanksgiving is a great time to do that.
Have you ever wondered, for instance, why does everyone HAVE to eat turkey for Thanksgiving? I mean, why should mass-slaughtering millions of innocent and beautiful birds and putting them on our tables, belly up, be a great way to show we are grateful?
Of course, there are those who veer away from this tradition, like vegetarians and vegans. But somehow, we too can't get too far from the turkey malarkey. So we rush out to buy fake turkeys, made with soy protein or what have you, and pretend it's just as good as the real thing.
Somewhere, we lose sight of the fact that real vegan food, made with great, natural ingredients, can be just as good-and frankly even better than- that stuff the meat-eating world thinks they cannot live without.
As Thanksgiving drew closer this year, I often got the question: "What are you cooking for Thanksgiving? Tofurky?"
No way. Instead, here's the gorgeous spread I served up. My main dish, Cauliflower "Malai" Kofta Curry with Whole-Wheat Puris, is so delicious and satisfying, it would satisfy the most hard-core meat-eaters. Koftas are little vegetable balls – kinda like meatballs, only tastier. You can make them with a variety of veggies, including cabbage and zucchini, but I went with cauliflower because it's one of my favorite vegetables. Incidentally, these would be great appetizers by themselves, especially with a green mint or coriander chutney.
There's some deep-frying involved in this dish, but if you deep fry at the appropriate temperature (350-375 degrees) the food absorbs almost no oil. Plus, it is a celebration and this is still much healthier than turkey fat and butter and whatnot.
To go with the curry and puris, I served up a side of Crunchy Edamame with Crispy Onions (replacing the tried-and-tired bean casserole) and Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Pineapples and Walnuts.
For dessert, we had the most scrumptious Pumpkin "Cheesecake" with a creamy filling and a divine nut crust. And, of course, it's all 100 percent vegan.
So here's my Thanksgiving feast, delicious, protein-rich, quite easy to cook, and meant to show my appreciation not just for the life I am lucky enough to lead, but also the lives of my fellow creatures of all kinds who make this world such a beautiful place.
Cauliflower "Malai" Kofta Curry
For the gravy:
1/3 cup cashew pieces, soaked in 1/2 cup water
1/3 cup pumpkin seeds, roasted and then soaked along with the cashews
2 green chilies, chopped
1/2 cup coriander leaves, chopped
Salt to taste
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp cumin seeds, roasted
1 tsp coriander seeds, ground
Mix all the ingredients and process in a food processor until smooth.
Pour into a heavy saucepan on medium heat until heated through. Add water if the gravy is too thick.
Set aside.
For the koftas:
4 cups cauliflower, finely grated (I passed the florets through the fine grater on my food processor)
1 cup chickpean flour (besan)
2 green chilies, chopped
1/2 cup chopped coriander leaves
1 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp turmeric (optional)
1/2 tsp baking powder
Mix all the ingredients and shape into balls about 3/4th of an inch in diameter.
Deep fry in hot oil until golden on the outside. Take care not to let the oil get too hot or the outside will be browned before the inside has a chance to cook.
Place in a bowl and pour the hot gravy over the balls.
Serve hot with whole-wheat puris.
Whole Wheat Puris
1 cup whole-wheat durum flour (use regular whole wheat if that's what you have)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp oil
Using enough water, knead the above ingredients into a smooth dough. Set aside at least half hour.
Divide the flour into balls about 1/2-inch in diameter each.
Roll each ball into a flat round about 3-4 inches in diameter.
Deep fry in hot oil on each side until puffed and golden.
Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Pineapple and Walnuts
2 large sweet potatoes. Poke holes all over each sweet potato with a fork or small knife and then zap in a microwave about 10 minutes until tender and cooked all over. When cooled enough, peel and pass through a potato ricer or just mash with a potato masher.
1/2 cup finely chopped pineapple
1/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped
2 tbsp soy creamer (I used Silk)
Mix all the ingredients together well and add salt only if you need it.
1 tbsp canola or other vegetable oil
1 large red onion, finely sliced
1/4 tsp red chilli powder
2 cups shelled edamame beans (soy beans), microwaved for a couple of minutes if frozen, until they are just tender but have a strong bite.
Heat the oil and fry the sliced onion until browned and quite crispy.
Remove about 3/4 of the onions from the oil and reserve.
To the remaining onions, add the edamame and salt to taste.
Toss together and turn off heat. Top with remaining onions and serve hot.
For the nut crust:
2 cups walnuts (can use pecans)
2 tbsp vegan "butter" like Earth Balance or Smart Balance (the vegan version)
2 tbsp canola or other vegetable oil
3 tbsp sugar
A pinch of salt
In a food processor, process the nuts until they resemble crumbs. Add the "butter", oil, sugar and salt and process briefly until the mixture comes together.
Pat the crust into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9- or 10-inch springform pan.
Bake 10 minutes until it starts to brown and becomes quite firm. Set aside to cool completely.
For the pumpkin filling:
2/3 cup turbinado sugar + 1 tbsp maple syrup (can substitute with regular dark brown sugar)
1/2 tsp powdered cinnamon
1 tsp cardamom powder
1/4 tsp powdered cloves
In a large bowl, beat until just smooth:
16 ounces vegan "cream cheese" (I used Tofutti's Better-than-cream-cheese)
Scrape the sides of the bowl and the beaters. Add the sugar and spices and mix briefly until everything blends in.
Add 16 ounces of silken tofu, in three portions, beating well after each addition.
Add and mix until just mixed:
1 cup pumpkin puree
Pour the filling into the crust.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place a loaf pan or any other pan filled with water in the oven.
Slide the springform pan on a baking sheet and place in the oven.
Bake the cheesecake for 30 minutes.
Turn the heat down to 325 degrees and continue baking for another 20 minutes.
When the cheesecake is done, the sides will be set and puffy but the center will still jiggle when tapped.
Remove to a rack and cool completely. Chill before serving.
Enjoy, everyone, and hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!

From C++ to C#
The key reason for fast operation of the C++ expression templates is the inline implementation of the iterator functions, operator*() and operator++(). The compiler produces code similar to a hand-crafted loop without operator overloading. In .NET, interface IEnumerator<> immediately comes to mind as a conceptual equivalent of a forward iterator. However, if I were to use it in my C# implementation of binary and unary operators, I would have introduced traversal of the expression tree in each iteration of the loop and most of the performance gains would have been lost. My plan is to imitate the effect of inlining by doing extra work in the constructors of the binary and unary expression classes, DVBinExpr<> and DVUnaryExpr<>.
First, I implement the iterator increment function. A .NET multicast delegate is a construct that holds the promise of advancing the iterator positions of all input Vector objects without traversing the expression tree. While executing the constructors, I need to locate the appropriate functions of the input Vectors and gather them with a delegate variable at the root node. In the evaluation loop I simply invoke the delegate and increment the iterators of the input variables directly, without the cost of traversal. This delegate is defined as:
delegate bool NextOp();
The Boolean return value is True, unless the end of the container has been reached. Next, all operand types, DVBinExpr<>, DVUnaryExpr<>, and Vector, must provide a way to add their iterator increment function to the multicast delegate passed in from the root of the expression tree. To follow the rules of .NET generics to specify type parameter constraints, I define interface IIter with an iterator increment function:
void AddNextOp(ref NextOp nextOp);
and have the three classes implement it. All non-leaf nodes, in their constructors, call AddNextOp() on their operands and accumulate the result in a member variable. Example 4 is the DVBinExpr<> implementation. When the parent node calls AddNextOp() on its operand, the node's delegate is added to the parent's delegate. The unary nodes are similar, except they only have one operand. The implementation of AddNextOp() at the leaf nodes (that are input Vector objects) appends the actual iterator increment function to the caller's delegate. In my case, the double values are stored in a data member of type List<double>, and all I have to do is get its enumerator instance and append function IEnumerator<double>.MoveNext(). The same Vector object may appear in the expression more than once. Therefore, I take the necessary precaution to add its iterator increment function only once.
Next, I need to tackle "inline" calculation of the expression value at the current positions of the iterators. Each DVBinExpr<> and DVUnaryExpr<> node in the tree knows the operation it must apply to its operands. Consequently, I cannot short-circuit the nodes with a multicast delegate trick. Nonetheless, the same strategy to do extra processing before the evaluation loop executes works here. The LINQ expression facility looks promising with its ability to operate on expressions as data. As the overloaded operators are called and the expression tree is traversed during constructor execution, a System.Linq.Expressions.Expression object representing the tree is assembled. Before the evaluation loop is executed, this object is compiled into executable code, resulting in an equivalent of C++ inlining. How does it work? Every node in the expression tree has a data member of type Expression initialized in the constructor. To make this expression object available to the parent node to use as operand, I add function:
Expression Value();
to the IIter interface that I have introduced for the iterator increment support. A brief design note is in order. This function is an accessor, which I allowed in this simple program. When developing commercial products, I would look for a correct design choice, with behavior co-located with state, on which it depends.
Initialization of the node's Expression data member is delegated to the applicative function that the node receives as a constructor argument. In the C++ implementation, the scope resolution operator is used to invoke static function apply() provided by the applicative classes. In C#, delegates would be a good fit for this purpose. The applicative functions take two forms, for the binary and unary operations, defined by the two delegates BinOp and UOp. With these declarations in hand, I can construct a node's expression (Example 5) for the binary expression.
delegate Expression BinOp(Expression exprA, Expression exprB); delegate Expression UOp(Expression expr); class DVBinExpr <IterA, IterB> : IIter where IterA : IIter where IterB : IIter { public DVBinExpr(IterA ia, IterB ib, BinOp op) { . . . . . _valExpr = op(ia.Value(), ib.Value()); } . . . . . . private Expression _valExpr; }
Class DVUnaryExpr<> follows the same pattern, with a single operand. Now, I must define the applicative classes for all binary and unary operations, and the mathematical functions. Example 6 shows the multiplication applicative and the invocation of the logarithm function.
public class DVOpMultiply { public static Expression apply( Expression exprA, Expression exprB) { return Expression.MakeBinary( ExpressionType.Multiply, exprA, exprB); } }; public class DVOpLog { public static Expression apply(Expression expr) { return Expression.Call( typeof(Math).GetMethod("Log"), expr); } };
To complete the solution, I need to write operator overloads that construct DVBinExpr<> and DVUnaryExpr objects. In the C++ implementation, the template parameters of the overloaded operators define a nested iterator type Iter. The scope resolution operator :: cannot be applied to parameters in .NET generics. The alternative is to remove the extra level of indirection and explicitly combine the expression and its iterator in a single class. Furthermore, overloaded operators must be defined as static functions in the scope of a class, and at least one of the operands must have the type of the enclosing class. It becomes necessary to define three sets of operators, for Vector, DVBinExpr<>, and DVUnaryExpr<>. A simple wrapper class can be created for the binary and unary expression classes to reduce duplication. The overloaded operators are not templatized in C#. Instead, I rely on the fact that all operands implement IIter. Although the end result is a less generalized construct, compared to C++, it does not contradict the main intent of expression templates. The definition of DVBinExpr<>.operator+() (Example 7) and the rest of the operators are similar.
public static DVBinExpr<DVBinExpr<IterA, IterB>, IIter> operator+(DVBinExpr<IterA, IterB> a, IIter b) { return new DVBinExpr<DVBinExpr<IterA, IterB>, IIter>( a, b, DVOpAdd.apply); }
The actual evaluation of the expression takes place in implicit conversion operators defined for DVBinExpr<> (Example 8) and DVUnaryExpr<> that is almost identical. Before entering the loop the Expression instance of the root node is compiled, as I mentioned earlier, with the effect similar to C++ inlining.
public static implicit operator Vector( DVBinExpr<IterA, IterB> ex) { Vector result = new Vector(ExpressionGenerics._size); ValueOp valOp = Expression.Lambda<ValueOp>(ex.Value()).Compile(); while(ex._Next()) { result.Add(valOp()); } ex.Reset(); return result; }
One more detail I should point out is the scope of the mathematical functions, Log(), Sin(), and so on. In C++, I had them outside the class scope to ensure the desired expression syntax. In C#, these functions must be in a class scope. In the sample program I placed them in the "application" class, ExpressionGenerics, where they are used in an expression.
Test Results
My testing method is the same as in the C++ test described earlier. I have two sample programs complied with Visual C# 2008. One utilizes expression generics, the other usual operator overloading. Both programs evaluate the same expression as before and the rest of the details are the same.

Macon Leary is a travel writer who hates both travel and anything out of the ordinary. He is grounded by loneliness and an unwillingness to compromise his creature comforts. Then he meets Muriel, a deliciously peculiar dog-obedience trainer who upends Macon's insular world--and thrusts him headlong into a remarkable engagement with life.
"Bittersweet... Evocative... It's easy to forget this is the warm lull of fiction; you half-expect to run into her characters at the dry cleaners.... Tyler is] a writer of great compassion." --The Boston Globe
"Tyler has given us an endlessly diverting book whose strength gathers gradually to become a genuinely thrilling one." --Los Angeles Times
"A delight... A graceful comic novel about getting through life." --The Wall Street Journal

Hi all!
First off, I'm a total book nerd, and I'm always at the library for new atheist titles, docs, and also books for my children.
I thought it would be a good idea to start reading books about mythology to my kids. They love fairy tales, so it's pretty much the same thing. :)
Many of you are probably already familiar with the DK children's book series. They have tons of titles about countless subjects. I found their mythology book and was pleasently surprised to see they added all current religions to other ancient myths. Their page on the creation stories has a Native American view of the world being born on the shell of a turtle right next to a depiction of Adam and Eve.
I thought it was a great resource when introducing children to different beliefs. Here's the link: http://us.dk.com/nf/Book/BookDisplay/0,,9780756660369,00.html?strSr...#
as a side note, this book is suited for about 5 years and older.

Will totally look for that. My son (6) loves the eyewitness books! Thanks for the tip.
Just as an addendum - my son really enjoyed Pyramids - and it had great activities that make you think about morality - moral government and things like that - it is an exploration of ancient egypt- review here: http://sumogirl.com/sumomambo/index.php?option=com_content&task...

Categories: General Date: Nov 7, 2015 Title: WBTTH&S Project – final conference in Madrid, Spain
The Confederación Española de Cooperativas de Trabajo Asociado (COCETA) has presented the final results of the European project on Health and Safety in the Social Service Sector WBTTH&S (Web Based Training Tools for Health and Safety).
The results can be seen at the web www.wbtths.com, where readers will find a series of seven educational videos acted by professional actors that try to show risky situations -and their solutions-, with a bit of humor. The videos are to be used in training about labor risks to people that work taking care of other people (elderly, with disabilities...), in particular houses or at residences. The training also includes a questionnaire with questions to be answered in certain determined time, about what the videos are trying to teach.
During the event, that took place at the Economic and Social Council (CES) of Spain, representing people of the five countries that were part of the project participated: ANJAF and APSHSTDC from Portugal, Balkanplan from Bulgaria, GIE from Romania, Oltremodo from Italy, and COCETA, the Spanish entity that coordinated the project.All of them agreed with the good reception that the videos have had in their own countries. "More than 700 worker cooperatives in Spain give services to the elderly people, or with disabilities", explained also Juan Antonio Pedreño, president of COCETA, who spoke in a table with Marcos Peña, president of the CES. "This is an educational tool for social services sector so in their daily life people that work in this sector are protected, as in other labor activities, and so the low can be fully accomplished".
The president of the CES agreed on Pedreño´s words, and also argument the proud of his institution to be able to present this project in its house. He appointed the idea that the enterprises and workers should be able to develop their activities with security, health and respect.In a room full of people interested in the results of the material, COCETA also presented in the round table a representative of a cooperative dedicated to the services sector. It was Manuela Rodríguez, president of the cooperative Tosande, owners of the elderly residence in Madrid, Los Balcones. She stressed the good host that the videos had on her cooperative, coinciding with what happened in other European countries where a test was performed in situ on the effectiveness of the same.
The director of COCETA, Paloma Arroyo, showed one of the videos and the web, which is in English and translated into each of the five languages of the participating countries.
Among the speakers were also Rafael Ruiz Calatrava, president of the Council of Professionals in Occupational Health and Safety (UMIVALE), who congratulated the technicians for the "great work" made with these training videos; and referred to the prevention of risks in the workplace, the impact on productivity and employment generation in the sector.
Ruiz Calatrava stressed the need to carry out more videos like these, especially with regard to psychosocial risks that are a central point related to the work-related accidents and absenteeism: stress and depression, related to the precariousness and the ill-treatment of the workers.
Malena Riudavert, vice president of COCETA, who comes from a school cooperative, closed the event, and stressed the need for projects such as these, also in the education field.
The ending conclusions were made by Pedro Vicente Alepuz, director of the department of outreach and training of the National Institute for Health and Safety at Work, who emphasized the quality of the materials and say that they will put on them on their own web page.

President, Cygnus Applied Research, Inc.
Author, Researcher, Speaker and Fundraising Expert
[If you will be introducing Penelope at an upcoming conference, please click here for approved copy.]
Penelope Burk's career in the not-for-profit sector began in communications and market research in the arts in the early 1970's and later expanded into fundraising and senior management for prominent human services organizations. She founded Burk & Associates Ltd. in 1990 and Cygnus Applied Research, Inc. in 2003.
Penelope Burk's unique advantage in the fundraising industry is her evidence-based approach. While her professional experience in the sector spans forty-five years, her publications and training programs are all the product of research with donors.
Penelope is the author of the best-selling industry standard, Donor-Centered Fundraising. The much-anticipated second edition of this book was just published, featuring all-new research with tens of thousands of donors. Penelope is also the author of the companion book, Donor-Centered Leadership, a critical resource for Boards of Directors, Chief Executive Officers and Advancement Directors on how to implement Donor-Centered Fundraising and manage fundraising staff for optimum results.
Penelope Burk's contributions to the fundraising industry can be best summed up as a long list of "firsts":
- She was the first fundraising author to back up her ideas and solutions with evidence from donors
- The first to bring the problem of Donor Attrition to the attention of the fundraising industry, pointing out how much money not-for-profits were losing by failing to hold onto their donors
- The first to offer an evidence-based formula for keeping donors giving longer and inspiring them to make more generous contributions
- The first to document what leadership volunteers do best and how they can raise more money for their organizations by saying thank you the donor-centered way
- The first to document the real impact of the high rate of turnover among professional fundraisers and to bring innovative solutions to the table to keep fundraisers loyal and raising more money.
Penelope understands donors and what they want more deeply than just about anyone in fundraising. In the last twenty years, she and her innovative firm, Cygnus Applied Research, Inc., have conducted surveys and research studies with more than a quarter-million donors. She has reached back into their lives to find out about the first time they gave, what motivates their philanthropy now, what their greatest and most frustrating experiences in giving are, and what their dreams are for their philanthropic future.
The session, Donor-Centered for Boards, with Penelope Burk was by far the best learning experience I've ever had as a board member for any organization. I also bought and read both her books (which is something I rarely do after attending a session) and I have applied so much of her donor-centered philosophy to my work, not only as a board member but as a donor, too.
Penelope Burk is a phenomenal presenter for two reasons: first, her casual and engaging style draws participants in and makes the subject matter easy to understand with real-life examples and an "I know what it's like" connection to those in the room; second, her data is extensive and compelling, and it gives fundraisers real-life tools that they can use to begin shifting from a traditional dollar-centered approach to a more dependable and lucrative donor-centered approach.
Penelope's keynote address and her break-out session yesterday were the highlights of the conference for me. She shared such relevant and immediately-applicable information. What an inspiration she is—in speaking, in writing, and (most important) one-on-one.
I congratulate Penelope for her presentation at the AFP International Conference. She is a truly dynamic performer and speaker who shares her vision with humor and energy. Listening to her makes me want to commit more to my work; and she increases my dedication to philanthropy.
Penelope is the most knowledgeable and interesting speaker I have ever heard in my nearly twenty years in the business.
Penelope is a rock star for fundraisers. Always entertaining; always provocative. She has transformed how we see our donors and how we do our work in fundamental ways.
After 10 years of attending conferences and seminars, I had no idea that research of this magnitude existed. I'll be looking to Penelope Burk and Cygnus Applied Research for new ideas in the years to come.
Penelope Burk is a dynamic speaker. I enjoyed her seminar very much and learned more about what donors want in one day than in the five years I have worked in development – awesome!
Penelope is the only presenter with empirical data and her information blows the lid off our preconceived ideas about how we can fundraise successfully.
Penelope's enthusiasm and understanding of today's donors is a welcome concept in today's fundraising arena. Through her time with us, Penelope has helped us to better understand our donors and help us re-evaluate our approaches and strategies that will strengthen our relationships with our donors. Penelope's wealth of knowledge and expertise is a blessing to each of us.
Penelope was fabulous! Our staff have not stopped quoting Penelope's session. Penelope "pushed" us to think about our current practices and their impact on the people we care about. We are so thrilled to have had the time with her for her to share her insights, experience and knowledge with us.
Penelope conducted a terrific presentation. I admit I was worried about a 2-hour session with no break but, oh boy, her presentation captivated the audience throughout!
Penelope's input has been invaluable to us as we strive to engage our supports in creating business solutions to poverty.
Simply put, Penelope is an inspiration to my career! I am still using my notes from every session of hers I've attended and refer to her books when building and presenting fundraising strategies to our Board and campaign volunteers. Thank you to Penelope for all she does for this sector and for ambitious young women looking for role models and inspiration!
Penelope's seminar appealed to everyone on my staff. The concepts apply whether someone manages data, produces accountability reports, revises donor walls, conducts events, updates the websites, plans galas, or works directly with donors.
Penelope understands the importance of speaking at a professional volunteer level and giving recommendations to help reinforce the more appropriate techniques of fundraising. Her demeanor helped set everyone at ease and created a more open atmosphere to accept the message. I only wish we could have had more board members present!
Penelope provides excellent researched info we can all use – from acquisition, mass marketing, major donors, stewardship to planned giving.
Penelope shares her extensive knowledge and research in a clean and compelling manner. She provides perspective on how to connect with donors on a meaningful level and shares strategies and techniques to relative donor-centered fundraising to the mission and business objectives of my organization.
Penelope Burk is the guru of effective, thoughtful fundraising. The research and tools she and Cygnus are able to provide set every development professional up for success.
Penelope Burk knows fundraising inside and out and shares her knowledge with humor and stories that makes her presentation stand out. I left feeling excited to implement many of the ideas she shared.
What a joy to listen and talk with Penelope. It has rejuvenated my love of the art of donor relations and inspired new ideas for how to better connect our donors to our work.
Penelope is always a breath of fresh air because she is out in front of the curve. You leave her presentations with your batteries recharged!
As staff and volunteers, it's so easy to become comfortable with how we raise funds. Thank you for challenging the sector to hear what donors want and inspiring us to deliver.
Penelope Burk challenged me to think differently about my work and my donors. And she inspired me to act differently by giving me practical tools and advice.
Penelope's approach to enabling philanthropy should be made into a vaccine. The health benefits to the sector would be immediate and obvious.
Penelope's presentation was JUST what our AFP members had been craving: a complete recharge. Her all-day seminar on Donor-Centered Fundraising, from the woman who "wrote the book" on the topic, was entertaining, informal, and timely. The information was presented in an "easy to digest and easier to implement" fashion, and everyone left with "to-do" lists several pages long.
To put it simply, Cygnus' research works! This year we set our fundraising goal 10% higher, which was ambitious. But, we applied all that we learned from Penelope and Cygnus on being donor-centered, and pulled it off. In fact, we raised 18% more than last year. As an added bonus, our volunteers are feeling great about their achievement and several have already offered to make asks in next year's campaign.
I've always wanted to have real data that comes straight from our own donors. Cygnus' research has been invaluable in helping us allocate resources to more productive strategies.
Cygnus' research reminded us that our donors don't give just because they like our organization – they want to improve children's lives, and they expect us to tell them how their gift is making a difference

The 2014 Dynamic Shaft Fitting Addendum is Now Available
The Hireko Shaft Reference Guide is just another example of how Hireko is committed to educating our customer base and making ordering or selecting shafts more efficient.
Boy, do I feel old. I just realized that the on-going independent research on shafts I have been working on has entered its 25nd year! This shares a silver anniversary with of all things the World Wide Web. And to think of it, I had hair back then – a lot of it. If you are not hip to what all the fuss is about, it marks a small footnote in history that started to get us out of the Stone Age of how golfer's choose shafts and begun doing so much more scientifically. This was the first shaft-to-shaft study using the same set of testing procedure to see how golf shafts compare after they have been cut and installed into heads on a grand scale.
What Type of Information Will You Find?
For those that are not already familiar with the Dynamic Shaft Fitting Addendum, the first thing you will find out is not all R-flex shafts are created equal – that is in terms of flex, torque, bend point, etc. as every manufacturer are their own standard. In reality, there are no industry standards for shafts and the reason why this book serves as an invaluable guide. Consistency has been the key to this text as each of the well over 3000 shafts and 50,000 measurements has been conducted by one individual (yep, yours' truly) using the same set of procedures and equipment for these past 25 years.
There are 19 published specifications listed for each shaft that include:
Flex, Uncut Shaft Weight, Tip Diameter, Butt Diameter, Uncut Shaft Balance Point, Cut Shaft Balance Point, Completed Club Balance Point, Total Assembled Club Weight, Head Weight, Grip Weight, Cut Shaft Weight, Completed Club Frequency, Butt Deflection, Tip Deflection, T/B Ratio, Cut Shaft Torque, Raw Shaft Torque, Club Length (and wood bore type) and DSFI (Dynamic Shaft Fitting Index) Rating
Some of the specifications may not be important to you or only help you with assembly such as knowing how much head weight you can expect at a specific length. In other cases, there are several key parameters as shown in the following table which can be considered the shaft's DNA.
Nuts and Bolts of the Text
If you don't want to download all 192 pages of this text, I would highly encourage you to at least access Chapter 1, which provides the legends of what each of the specifications are and we would encourage you to read that carefully. Chapters 2 and 5 are the nuts and bolts of the Shaft Fitting Addendum with Chapter 2 showing the data and Chapter 5 providing the how to use the information with the master shaft fitting charts in order of stiffness. Chapters 3 and 4 provide data on shafts that are no longer available, but is still a valuable guide to cross-reference shafts. This year we have added shafts from Aerotech, Graman and Mitsubishi-Rayon to the mix.
The Handy Hireko Quick Shaft Reference Guide is Also Available
Unfortunately, not every shaft in our catalog and website can be tested for different reasons. However, that doesn't mean we can't provide fitting advice in an accurate and efficient manner. Once we have tested numerous shafts from a manufacturer, we have a solid understanding of how their flexes run, what the difference between their torque measurements and ours would be, etc. Using all the information and fitting concepts that we outlined in the Dynamic Shaft Fitting Addendum, we can apply those same principle to the other shafts we haven't tested and still confidently know where that shaft would fit. That is why we put together a handy reference guide for shaft fitting on virtually all the shaft we distribute.
Not only is the Hireko Quick Shaft Reference Guide updated to reflect the new shafts in the catalog, but we have added hyperlinks to each of the products. With one click, you can now go directly to the product page, read the description, look up the pricing and detailed specifications to compare products and even order.
What does Hireko Quick Shaft Reference Guide do?
The Hireko Shaft Reference Guide helps filter the wood and irons shafts we offer in 3 easy steps; by clubhead speed (or player's distance), shaft weight and ball flight.
The key is to find the group or category of shafts (#1) based on your or your customer's swing speed, distance and tempo. From there, we break it down in different weight ranges (#2) starting from lightest to heaviest within the grouping. For example, if you or your custom is looking for more distance, you would choose a shaft that is lighter. For more control, you would select a heavier shaft. Once the weight range has been selected, then you can sub-filter those shafts based on trajectory or fade/draw (#3). In a nutshell, the Hireko Quick Shaft Reference Guide saves times from sorting through 57 pages of shaft in our catalog or thumbing through countless web pages to find a suitable shaft.
The Hireko Shaft Reference Guide is just another example of how we are committed to educating our customer base and making ordering or selecting shafts more efficient.

Nearly two thirds of Scots (66%) are eating fish only once a week or less, a World Cancer Research Fund survey has found. However, people should aim to eat fish at least twice a week, according to the charity.
The cancer prevention charity is launching a week celebrating fish in light of the new findings. The campaign, Hooked on Fish, will run from 17-23 July.
The charity is celebrating fish for the week as it is an important part of a healthy diet and can be a good alternative to processed and red meat. World Cancer Research Fund's own evidence has found that eating any amount of processed meat, and more than 500 grams of red meat a week, increases the risk of bowel cancer – a common cancer in the UK, yet one of the most preventable.
Eating a healthy balanced diet is an important part of maintaining a healthy weight. Maintaining a healthy weight can help reduce the risk of 11 common cancers.
People should eat fish at least twice a week, including one serving of oily fish. Fish that is steamed, baked or grilled is a healthier choice than fried fish. It is important to opt for responsibly and sustainably sourced fish.
To help people eat more fish, World Cancer Research Fund has partnered up with the Scottish sustainable fish company, Fishbox, who deliver freshly caught fish straight to people's doors. Every new customer can use the code WCRF17 to receive a 15 per cent discount off their first box, and Fishbox will also donate 20 per cent of the cost to the charity to help fund its research into cancer prevention.
World Cancer Research Fund's Real Recipes site offers delicious and healthy recipes to help people eat a healthier diet.
Sarah Toule, Head of Health Information at World Cancer Research Fund, said:
"This week, we are encouraging the Scots to get Hooked on Fish. We have some amazing seafood from our shores – and what better time to start eating more fish than during the summer?
"Fish offers many health benefits. It's high in protein and other nutrients, such as vitamin D and selenium, and it's a great alternative to red meat.
"It is also one of the best sources of healthy Omega-3 fats, which are essential for a healthy heart. People should aim to eat fish at least twice a week including one serving of oily fish, such as salmon or herring".
Magnus Houston, Managing Director at Fishbox, said:
"At Fishbox we have passion for tasty, high quality fish that is sustainably sourced from Scottish waters. We believe that everyone can and should have access to this nutritious and magnificent resource."
"Demonstrating how easily seafood can be prepared and giving customers the confidence to try new species inspires greater seafood consumption and diversifies their seafood choices. This is something we hope we can encourage amongst our customers alongside WCRF in the near future!"

Pittsburgh defensive tackle Aaron Donald claimed the Bronko Nagurski Trophy on Monday night in Charlotte, as the Football Writers Association of America's tabbed him the national Defensive Player of the Year.
Donald, also the ACC's Defensive Player of the Year, leads the country in tackles-for-loss with 26.5. By comparison, Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh had 20.5 the year he finished fourth in the Heisman balloting.
"It is truly a blessing," Donald said. "All of the hard work did pay off. I am truly honored."
The four other Nagurski finalists were cornerback Darqueze Dennard of Michigan State, cornerback Lamarcus Joyner of Florida State, linebacker C.J. Mosley of Alabama end Michael Sam of Missouri.
Donald, a senior, is Pittsburgh's first defensive player to win a national individual award since Hugh Green in 1980.

This Spearmint Vapemate E Liquid has a refreshing spearmint flavour with a cooling hit.
Top quality UK made eliquid, at a 70VG/30PG ratio, giving the perfect balance between flavour and vapour production.
If you like this flavour you may also like e liquid from this range.
About Vapemate
Vapemate was started in 2013 by three newly enthusiastic vapers who found a gap in the market for a large catalog of customisable eliquids.
Having tried many products from different manufacturers, and becoming increasingly frustrated with purchasing from multiple vendors, the concept of Vapemate was formed.
Vapemate already existed as an IOS and Mac app that had been developed to track the progress of individual vapers (no longer available), so it was natural to continue with the Vapemate brand and extend our offering into the eliquid market.
Due to growing popularity of our products, in 2014 we developed our own dispensing technology allowing us to rapidly dispense a custom "made to order" eliquid product, giving us one of the largest eliquid offerings on the planet. With flavours, blends and various other options considered, the catalog currently consists of over 60,000 different product variants.
Vapemate currently employs more than 25 members of staff who are trained and dedicated to our commitments to produce quality, custom made eliquid 12 hours a day 7 days a week in our state of the art ISO class 7 clean room.
General E Liquid Info
- Over time e-liquid will usually darken in colour. Flavours can also become stronger. This is perfectly normal. In fact, many vapers deliberately speed this process up by 'steeping' the liquid (most commonly by leaving the bottle open for a few days).
- We recommend storing your liquid in a cool, dark place to extend its lifespan.
- As nicotine is a toxic substance, please keep any eliquid well out of the reach of children and pets.

text: A Blue View is a weekly perspective on the life aquatic, hosted by National Aquarium CEO John Racanelli. From the smallest plants and animals invisible to the human eye to entire ecosystems, every living thing depends on and is intricately linked by water. Tune in to 88.1 WYPR every Tuesday at 5:45 p.m. as John brings to the surface important issues and fascinating discoveries making waves in the world today. April 9, 2014: Clownfish Click here to listen to John discuss clownfish and the important role they play in the health of coral reefs! Parents of young children know a thing or two about clownfish. These adorable orange and white fish rocketed to stardom in the animated classic Finding Nemo, which featured an adventurous clownfish hero. Clownfish popularity, however, extends far beyond the preschool set. The movie led to an upswing in their demand within the exotic pet trade - they are now one of the most popular saltwater aquarium fish. That was the downside of the Nemo-effect. The upside? More people became interested in coral reef conservation. It is an ecosystem of tremendous importance, fragility and interdependence, and clownfish are an indicator species for reef health. Further, they are truly fascinating creatures. When Nemo's dad, Marlin, names all of the eggs Marlin Junior, the moviemakers got the science right: all clown fish are born male. Many fish species are able to change sex, almost always from female to male. But the clownfish is different, changing gender only to become the dominant female of the group, and that change is irreversible. In a clownfish group living in an anemone the largest fish is female, the second largest a male. They are the mating pair. But the adventure story of Nemo's dad traveling far and wide to find his son? Unscientific. In the wild, clownfish never venture far from their anemone. It's home...and pantry. It's this interdependence that has earned the fish their full name: the anemone clownfish. The relationship between anemones and anemone clownfish is a classic oceanic partnership of mutualism. In science, mutualism is defined as a relationship between two species in which both benefit from the association. In fact, clownfish and anemones probably couldn't live without each other, which qualifies them as "obligate symbionts." They couldn't be more different, yet they need each other to survive. The clownfish is a vertebrate, while a sea anemone is an invertebrate, closely related to corals and jellyfish. And like them, its sting is deadly to most other creatures. So how does the clownfish manage to live among the anemone's lethal tentacles? Well, very cautiously. As the clownfish gets to know its anemone, it does an elaborate ballet of tentative darting movements, touching the anemone's stinging tentacles gently, working up immunity and a protective layer of mucus. Once they've acclimated to each other, they eat each other's food scraps. The anemone's tentacles provide the clownfish with protection from predators. The clownfish protects the anemone from predators like the butterfly fish and nibbles the anemone free of parasites. Cozy, right? But scientists have recently discovered that there is additional complexity to the relationship. The anemone benefits from the clownfish's ammonia-rich waste. It's like anemone fertilizer: it helps the animal grow. After all, a bigger anemone is better for both; its larger tentacles can snare larger, more nutritious prey and the clownfish gets better leftovers and more spacious living quarters. There's also a fascinating nocturnal half to the anemone-clownfish routine. Scientists used to think that at night the clownfish snuggled quietly inside the anemone. But Dr. Nanette Chadwick and her team at Auburn University recently discovered that the clownfish moves around more than was suspected, reminiscent of a dog trying to get comfortable on its dog bed. The clownfish's movements oxygenate the water deep within the anemone's tangle of tentacles. In effect, the clownfish helps the anemone breathe. Clownfish and anemones literally cannot live without one another. In the sea, as in Hollywood, they call that chemistry!

World's First Canned Oat-Milk Latte is Coming Soon
Interested in a dairy-free alternative to milk in your latte? Oat milk is all the rage these days, and if you want an easy and quick way to try it, just wait until September. That's when RISE Brewing Co. will release the world's first canned oat-milk latte, in mocha and latte varieties.
"The response to the oat-milk lattes has been really exciting," said RISE chief operating officer Melissa Kalimov in an email to The Daily Meal. "Fans are responding to the creamy nature, and loving the fact that they are organic and dairy-free."
The company will introduce three organic nitro cold-brew canned coffee drinks, two of which use oat milk. The new line includes an oat-milk latte, an oat-milk and cacao mocha, and a traditional dairy latte. All have 150 calories or fewer. RISE also offers canned nitro cold brew in original, blood orange and lemonade flavors.
The drinks were introduced at the New York Fancy Food Show in July, and would-be buyers seem enthused. "They were by far the hit of the booth," Kalimov said.
There's no specific release date yet, but expect to see the drinks in select stores as of early September. You'll be able to find them in various stores in the tri-state area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, and in Oregon and Washington in the Pacific Northwest. The drinks can be bought online via Amazon and RISE's website. Whole Foods and Foodkick delivery service should also have the beverages.
If you need an excuse to try out an oat-milk latte, here are 14 reasons you should drink more coffee.

Prospect Schebler clubs three homers at Double-A
Outfielder Scott Schebler, the Dodgers' No. 9 prospect, homered in each of his first three plate appearances Tuesday, and Double-A Chattanooga defeated Jacksonville, 4-0.
Schebler hit a two-run home run in the first inning and a solo home run in the third. When he came up again in the fifth inning, he drove the ball to right-center field, but didn't clear the outfield wall. Instead, he legged out an inside-the-park home run. The Suns didn't give him a chance for a fourth home run when he came up in the seventh, intentionally walking him instead.
Schebler finished 3-for-3 with four RBIs. All three of his home runs came against Jacksonville starter Jose Urena, the Marlins' No. 9 prospect.
Corey Seager, the Dodgers' No. 1 prospect, added a single in the first inning, extending his hitting streak to 11 games. He is hitting .338/.351/.527 in 19 games since being promoted from Class A Advanced Rancho Cucamonga last month.
With his first career three-homer game, Schebler moved atop the Southern League's home run leaderboard with 24. He passed Cubs No. 1 prospect Kris Bryant, who hit 22 home runs in the first half before his promotion to Triple-A Iowa.
In 116 games with Chattanooga this season, Schebler is hitting .282/.365/.557. In addition to home runs, he leads the Southern League in slugging percentage and OPS.

ActionEater - Action and Stunt4u
I am a Danish stuntman who needs a new design to my web page. I have been doing stunts for more than 20 years and never gotten around to get that perfect site that would want my visitors to read more. As I am getting older the stunts I perform are in the "low" end such as setting people on fire, getting shot, Wire works, different falls, stagefigt and so forth. Action has always been part of my life and going to the limits (and a bit further) is an adrenaline kick which I could not live with out. Of other interests I can mention ultrarunning 250km through different deserts. I love to face the mental barrier everybody has.
My target audience is persons like you and me - When doing bachelor parties or it could be larger business wanting to have a fun day at work and then of course professional and commercial production companies. The age varies from around 25-50 years and it is both women and men.
I will need a homepage and an internal content page variation, for the fee but not much different from each other.
I need an appealing site where simplicity is a must not to confuse the visitors and make them get lost.
The site should not be to business like.
Part of the site design has to involve: Actioneater - Action & Stunt4u. Feel free to play around with the font/logo
Also part of the site has to involve this saying:
"The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible"
Arthur C. Clarke
The sub pages with access through icons - Any text I will need to do in Danish. I can correct afterwards.
Video and Pics
Behind The scenes
The site will be implemented on a word press platform and I will go for the most SEO friendly design - Needs title, headers H1 etc.
The winner will be asked to provide me with PSD files of the design.
• Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
• The design has to be original and please do not use any stock images, graphics or clip art.
Feel free to go crazy with the few guidelines in mind and I really hope you will have fun with this - I will try to answer all questions asked within reasonable time so if you need more info let me know.
See you on the edge!

The International Rugby Board have embarked on a major rebranding programme which will see the organisation becoming World Rugby from November 19.
Rugby's participation has increased by more than two million to 6.6 million players over the past four years.
This is driven mainly by the game's re-inclusion in the Olympic Games, the commercial success of the Rugby World Cup, the governing body's development strategies and record investment, as well as strong and vibrant unions.
With rugby aiming inspire and engage new audiences and player, the rebranding reflects the organisation's mission to build a stronger connection with fans, players and new audiences worldwide.
"Rugby continues to thrive, reach out and engage new audiences and participants in record numbers and the IRB has been at the heart of that growth," said IRB chairman Bernard Lapasset.
"We are committed to furthering that growth beyond our traditional family and fan base with a public that expects to be entertained, informed and interacted with. This move is more than just a name change, it is a mission statement."
The rebrand will not impact on Rugby World Cup 2015 branding or positioning, which will remain as it is with its iconic logo throughout the current event cycle.
"In a crowded global entertainment and sporting marketplace, the role of the IRB has evolved from Game regulator to Game inspirer," explained IRB Chief Executive Brett Gosper.
"With this we must continue to appeal to those who know and love the sport and its heritage, while attracting, engaging and inspiring those who have no connection with the sport across multiple cultures and languages around the world."
"World Rugby collectively has the ingredients and tools to do just that. Rugby's global appeal is founded and positioned on its unique character-building values and inclusive ethos and we want everyone to feel connected with the sport and Rugby's ongoing success story."
"World Rugby clearly aligns our name with our mission and allows us to organise new and existing consumer facing properties in a way that they will be more impactful and more appealing to the sport's growing global fan base."

Australian National Engineering Taskforce - ANET
The Australian National Engineering Taskforce (ANET) is a partnership directed to rebuilding, GROWING and maintaining Australia's professional engineering capacity.
ANET needs a logo that clearly defines its purpose - and reflects its role as a body that stands for and grows Australia's professional engineering capacity.
The logo must excite and capture the interest and imagination of a broad public, including
- Engineering community, including student/young engineers:
- Government Officials / Public Servants;
- Academic and education training community;
- Industry / Corporate Heads,
- Journalists, public affairs professionals
The brand identity and logo design must reflect ANET's objectives of positioning Australia's engineers as highly respected, professional, innovative, and community-minded.
The logo brand must be MODERN and CLEAN – giving an impression of official capacity, excellence, building the future. It should also convey authority and reflect PROGRESSIVE values, and a sense of openness. The logo should NOT represent 19th century triumphalism, but SOMETHING MORE human and progressive? The logo should not be monumental and vertical but INTEGRATED, HORIZONTAL and ENABLING.
ANET's objectives will be achieved by developing and strengthening Australia's current and future engineering workforce, and therefore, the brand identity should have some element that suggests the relevance and importance of people to the organisation.
The logo should be able to stand alone, or be combined with the words 'Australian National Engineering Taskforce' and/or the acronym ANET.

Advanced Pediatrics
Advanced Pediatrics is the new incarnation of a pediatric practice that has been in existance for many years. The Pediatric Physician who owns the practice wants to reach out with a bright, modern, fun, and exciting new look. They are creating everything from scratch: from a brand new location to a kick-ass new website. All elements are colorful, kid-friendly, and attractive. The culture is warm and family-centric... it's a great place to walk into - even though you DO go there when you are not well!
The practice services kids from birth to 18 years old - all ethnics, all socio-economic levels. They are looking to pass on their new look to both their existing patients as well as to attact a new patient base. Although, being a medical service, they of course target the parents (usually the mother) - nevertheless the look is, and should be very KID friendly.
We want to have a new logo for the practice - - a combination of illustrative icon plus text (Advanced Pediatrics). COLORS: Use any colors you want but note that (1) the doctor does NOT like brown; and (2) he loves strong, bright colors. We're open to the use of "people" icons, and/or kid-illustrative images - as long as the look is young and fresh. FONTS: Use any font you want as long as the font is not too "corporate" - this is not a lawyers office - it's a children's medical practice. Of course the font must be easily readable and should not be too frivolous.
Bear in mind that the logo needs to reproduce fairly "small" for the website - as well as translate reasonably into black and white.
As an end result we will require a print file format and a web file format - vector as well as layered PhotoShop files - many thanks!

Maybe now some of the Ravens fans will stop whining.
Oh, they let Ed Reed go, they let Dannell Ellerbe go, they let Paul Kruger go, they cut Bernard Pollard ...
Whine, whine, whine ...
The entire time I kept saying the Ravens were making the right moves and they still could make a big, major acquisition. Forget the salary cap baloney -- when a team wants to make a deal, when they feel a player is a priority, then they can make the deal regardless of cap status. It might cost them a veteran or two, and it might hurt in the future, but it can happen.
The Ravens pulled the trigger Sunday on a deal with Elvis Dumervil, and that's a major impact player, With Dumervil, Terrell Suggs and the addition of end/tackle Chris Canty, the Ravens could have a potentially excellent pass rush for the 2013 season.
The Ravens allowed certain players to leave this season because they were overpaid in the free agent market, or they no longer were a valuable asset to the franchise. Fans tend to forget the season doesn't start until September, not in the spring or summer.
Dumervil is a good catch for the Ravens. The front office continues to make the right moves.

The school thats hundreds of millions of dollars in debt and settles their budgeting issues by making student parking passes $100 and forcing the students to pay $120 for their first extra curricular activity, $80 for the second, and $60 for everything after that. The parking permits are ridiculous since they don't even take care of the parking lot. They don't even clear the snow and ice, students fall down in the icy parking lots walking into school in the winter. Known as the "rich" school, which is hilarious since it has no money but the school board wants everyone to think it does. It might as well be a private school since parents are basically paying tuition. Oh. and they also charge activity fees for students that are raising money for childhood cancer.

The best school in Lancaster, PA. The staff really cares about their students, which is why they beat all the neighboring districts at almost everything. Be careful, though, they don't really care for outsiders unless you live in a McMansion in Lititz. Other than that it's great to go to Township. Go Township Blue Streaks!

Manheim Township is where people go to feel rich when it's really not that expensive to begin with.

|Costumes for Women
This homemade costume for women entered our 2011 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Jennie, the 'Price is Right Contestant' costume creator:
I wore a tee shirt that read, "Please make my dream come Drew" and a yellow name tag that read my name. I also built a showcase podium which i wore around my neck the whole evening. The host was my boyfriend (aka Drew Carey). I made him a skinny microphone and he wore black plastic framed glasses and a suit. We had a lot of compliments. I mean...who doesn't love the price is right?

SPECIALIZATION: Functional Genomics - Plant Reproduction - Heterosis - Gene Regulation -Rice
Research Interests:
Functional Genomics of Reproductive Development in Rice: Molecular events that follow the establishment of floral organ primodia, ultimately culminate into development of male (pollen) and female (embryo sac) gametophytes in specialized sex organs known as the androecium and gynoecium. The gametes thus formed undergo fertilization and develop into seeds. Understanding the underlying gene regulatory networks that control the development of reproductive floral organs, and the male and female gametophytes therein, involves
- Identification of the genetic components involved,
- Their classification into pair wise protein-protein and protein-DNA interactomes, followed by
- Construction of biologically realistic gene regulatory networks.
Our lab aims to unravel these networks to understand developmental mechanisms in terms of mechanistic models and, thus, pave the way for translating genetic interactions into phenotypic traits. In this regards, we have carried out whole genome microarray-based transcriptome analysis of more than twenty tissues/stages of rice vegetative and reproductive development, which has helped in the identification of several co-expressed groups of genes. These groups either show similar up-regulation profiles or express in a tissue or developmental stage specific manner and, thus, forming putative interactomes. The transcriptomic analysis has been refined to include subtractive logic in order to shortlist genes that express specifically in individual tissues/stages of development for validation of function and/or promoter activities. For gene function validation RNAi/miRNA based silencing and ectopic expression strategies in transgenic rice and/or Arabidopsis are being followed. Moreover, promoter activities are being determined by driving expression of GUS and/or GFP reporter gene in transgenic systems.
Analysis of Methylome Dynamics: During of Reproductive Development: We are also involved in determining the role of epigenetic components in controlling flower development at the whole genome level. We have profiled rice genome for methylated cytosines signatures by microarray based as well as New Generation Sequencing based methodologies at various stages of reproductive development. The data generated from this work is being correlated with the differential expression patterns of transcription factors and signal transduction components obtained from the first component to reveal the underlying connectivity between the genic and epigenetic regulatory processes in a holistic manner.
Understanding Molecular Basis of Heterosis: The molecular basis of heterosis has been a matter of debate for about a century now. At genetic level, both dominance and overdominance along with epistatic interactions have been proposed to be responsible for the manifestation of heterosis. Several attempts have been made, though with limited success, to predict heterotic potential of the hybrids based on associations between phenotypes and the causative molecular event like RFLPs, SSRs and SNPs. A number of studies attempting to link changes in gene expression with heterosis have demonstrated a shift in gene expression patterns in hybrids, but they fall short of identifying the causal factors resulting in this shift. Today, in the post-genome era, with the availability of technologies like whole genome microarrays and NGS, we are in a better position to categorize all the genes that show association with heterotic phenotypes and search for molecular basis of heterosis. Not only can the gene identities be determined, but also, their relative contributions to heterosis in terms of quantitative changes in expression be assessed. In this project, we have initiated work on identification and comprehensive cataloguing of genes associated with heterosis, based on high-density microarray analysis. The data generated from transcriptome analyses are being exploited to identify genes that are associated with heterosis and link this information to already identified molecular markers and/or QTLs in the designated parents and their F1 hybrids. By these strategies we hope to develop insights into the molecular basis of manifestation of heterosis and use this information to, one day, predict heterosis.
