Collaboration Software is used to help collaboration in different areas between co-workers and customers. Functionality in collaboration software is part of a lot of software in other areas, such as project management software and document management software, but there are software focused only on creating good collaboration and they are called collaboration software.
Examples of features that can be part of collaboration software are:
• Multi-user communication
• Chat (also called instant messaging)
• Document sharing
• Discussion forums
• Calendar sharing
• Brainstorming
• Knowledge base
• External collaboration
• Email integration
Whether collaboration software is used in an organisation or not it is important to understand the benefits of collaborating between colleagues. By collaborating with help of collaboration software you will be able to cut a lot of time spent on unnecessary activities and make better use of the personnel.
By also including customers in the collaboration software you will be able to have them do a lot of your work. One example where you are able to collaborate with customers is by having ideas stream into the collaboration software from customers about new services, etc to be provided. By having this in the collaboration software you will be able to cut a lot of time from the research department. This is just a small example of use of collaboration software and you will find that you use functionality used in collaboration software in a lot of software even though you don't specifically have the intention and purpose of collaboration.
Improving Teamwork With Collaboration Software
It is common knowledge that in a work place, team work is needed in order to harness the best results for the company. When employees do not move towards the same goal, efforts would be useless and resources would be wasted because of the conflict of interests. To build a sense of belongingness and friendly atmosphere in the work environment, managers should create team building sessions for their subordinates for them to be able to mingle with each other and develop their relationships. When employees have good working relationships with co-workers they would have good or better ways of expressing themselves and communicating their thoughts, which facilitates better team decision-making. And with technology, communication among co-workers has become easier through the use of various collaboration software.
Collaboration software is a tool that enables institutions to put up systems wherein their workers can communicate with each other through removable media or by email. Moreover, it is designed to facilitate communication and teamwork among people who are concerned about accomplishing the same goals. Through this software, people who have different geographical locations are able to give out input, help in the addition, revisions, and deletions of certain data in written works through the internet and they can just sit back and do their jobs without having to go up to the third floor to give their opinion on a certain project. This software also supports management functions, like assigning tasks, managing deadlines, and shared calendars.
Collaboration softwares just simplify employees' work by giving them the ease of communicating with the co-workers without having the need to be physically present. Another perk of this software is that team managers who oversee the work in progress will be notified that there were some recent activities done by a specific individual. This facilitates faster response from team members as the overseer can just message the involved parties and these people can then respond just by email, voicemail, private messages and the likes.
Many companies and their workers can provide information, share insights, make decisions, and create superb results through collaboration software. Because many people are now involved in the task and the means of communication is now simpler than it was before, companies will have a richer and more complex result based on group efforts. When employees know that their work is monitored and that their contributions are valued by their team, it would only make them work harder.
The importance of online collaboration software for business
The importance of working smarter and faster within the workplace has never been more important than it is today. With so many companies fighting for each other's business, it really is a buyer's market out there in just about every industry one can think of. The pressure is on for businesses to get more from their employees without crossing the "Unacceptable" level of work line.
The need for good customer service has never been more important either, people are finally starting to get fed up with the "bigger" organisations that have a department for a department, and none of them have a clue what the next one is doing. A recent survey suggests that the average person would quite happily pay extra for a product or service if they felt that the after service or customer service was going to be better than the cheaper alternative. Paying more for a better level of service as long as it was affordable, is a wide spread philosophy that is growing by the day.
Collaboration software is one answer to improving the company's overall performance and organisation. Thanks to the wonder that is cloud computing, online collaboration tools have changed and bringing people together has never been easier then it is now.
There are numerous collaboration softwares and it is a fact that more businesses are starting to implement a remote working practice. This allows users to work from home or an external location instead of traveling into the office everyday. It also allows mobile staff such as sales reps to work directly from the network as opposed to working locally from their laptops. The government is encouraging remote working because it reduces traveling which helps the environment while relieving traffic congestion at the same time. However it can also bring the headache of trying to keep everyone "working from the same hymn sheet" and this is where collaboration softwares come into its own.
A collaboration software the perfect tool for bring people together by working from a centralised location. It allows users to share documents, contacts, calendars and projects. In addition, it allows one to create milestones and keep staff up to date with latest activity reports.
Collaboration softwares are also excellent for coordinating activities within the workplace. It also allows one to assign and delegate tasks to staff.
So how can this improve customer service? Simply by improving internal communication the customer base should see an improved level of customer service, and that is one of the main reasons why so many businesses are starting to use online collaboration solutions. Collaboration softwares aren't cheap, but the long term effects it can have on the business are worth every penny.
Web Conferencing and Collaboration Software
Web Conferencing Software
Web conferencing software allows users to host audio visual meetings via the Internet. Through the use of Webinars and web conferencing software, companies can disseminate information to their employees, customers, shareholders or other persons of interest.
Uses of Web Conferencing Software
Web conferencing software can be used for conducting meetings, disseminating share holder data, eLearning, instructional videos, sharing Power Point presentations and other file sharing. Web conferencing is necessary for sharing the visual component of a presentation that cannot be communicated through voice alone.
Advantages of Web Conferencing Software
Web conferencing software allows companies to save time and travel expenses by meeting virtually. Web conferencing differs from teleconferencing by incorporating the interactive human or visual element. The information is communicated in real-time, as if the participants of the meeting were in the same room. The moderator can use a whiteboard to underline, draw or communicate ideas. Additionally, the attendees can share files, such as Microsoft Word, Adobe Flash Player, and Power Point. The moderator can execute most actions that individuals would perform in a board room, aside from shaking hands. Almost an unlimited number of users can connect using the software.
How Web Conferencing Works
Web conferencing software works similarly to teleconferencing. Web conferences allow for 10 of fewer participants to collaborate at one time. Web seminars allow for thousands to listen to a few moderators speak in turn. Both, web conferences and web seminars are implemented by the same software with different settings. The audio aspect of web conferencing is implemented through conferencing tools or Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP).
Individuals are typically invited to web conferences via email, phone, or text message. During this communication, the attendee is given the information necessary to connect to the Webinar. This information usually consists of a login and a password. Once the invitation is accepted, the participant can log onto the system up to an hour before the conference occurs.
When a majority of the attendees are connected to the web conference, the moderator will begin the conference. During the conference, participants will exchange information through file sharing tools, whiteboards, via voice, via instant messaging or desktop sharing. The web conferencing software even allows the moderator to take polls of the audience to monitor the audience's reaction to the information presented.
Web seminars are often recorded and used later as instructional videos for those individuals unable to attend the live seminar.

Logic delivers the visuals for "Under Pressure".
Logic will be delivering his debut album, Under Pressure later this month, and today he shares the ambitious visuals for the title track. The audio of the track alone has a fair amount of momentum, but when paired with the first person-shooter inspired visuals, it makes for quite a ride.
The video plays out halfway between an action film and a video game, all shot in POV. The heist scenario sees explosives detonated, bar fights, and a hell of a lot of people shot-- and that's just the first half.
Look out for Under Pressure, the album, dropping October 21st. If this isn't reason enough to stop sleeping on the rapper, here are ten more for you.

Oxidation of Metals 89 (2018), 123-139, DOI: 10.1007/s11085-017-9779-4
Intermetallic titanium aluminide samples implanted with fluorine using plasma immersion ion implantation were investigated after high-temperature exposure for short times at 500 and 900 °C in air by ToF-SIMS as a surface analytical method. The ToF-SIMS method was applied in order to obtain information regarding the location of fluorine with respect to the oxide layer formed and the substrate after ion implantation and after high-temperature exposure, respectively. The aim of the present work was to obtain further insight into the mechanisms active during the initial stages of oxidation. The scale structure in the initial oxidation phase consists of titanium and aluminum oxides/fluorides/oxyfluorides. The arrangement of their layered structure can be interpreted according to their thermodynamic stabilities in the partial pressure gradient of oxygen over the scale and according to the metal activities and the presence of fluorine at the metal/scale interface.

The dreaded transition from daylight savings is upon us (the clocks fall back on Sunday, Nov 3, 2019)! It often feels like we just recovered from one time change, and another is approaching. "Falling back" can be particularly challenging for parents of young children. While folks without young kids are excited about an extra hour of sleep, those of us with wee ones actually have to get up earlier; our adorable, sleeping baby who used to rise at 6:30 am now wakes at 5:30 am (and yes, they're slightly less adorable at that hour!). So what can we do to help our kids adjust to this change (and keep our sanity!)?
In an ideal world, we could to begin to shift our children's schedules a week ahead of time. Every few days we'd move their sleep and mealtimes later by 15 minutes, so that when the time change hits, they've already adjusted. Despite this being the "official recommendation" for a smooth transition from daylight savings, I've yet to meet one person to actually do it (myself included with my own kids!). The world outside our homes doesn't accommodate such a gentle shift; school starts when school starts and you need to get to work on time, not 15-45 minutes late.
Never fear! Here are some tips to help your children adjust to the new time.
Expose your children to lots of sunlight during the day. Our circadian rhythms align with the sun, so exposure to natural light helps our bodies adjust to the appropriate time.
Stick with your bedtime routine. If you don't have a bedtime routine already, now is a great time to start. Children thrive on routines, so having one can be incredibly helpful to give structure to the time before bed. A quiet routine is calming to them and helps them relax and ease into bedtime. It can be as simple as pajamas on, brush teeth, read a book/sing a song, lights out. Don't make it overly complex. You want this to be replicable daily, and easily done by a babysitter in your absence.
Minimize exposure to electronics at least an hour prior to bedtime. This is true all year round, but especially now when we're trying to help kids adjust to a time change. Electronic screens emit a blue light that mimics a bright, sunny sky and tricks the body into thinking it is daytime. The result of this is that melatonin, the hormone that helps induce sleep, is suppressed, making it more challenging to fall asleep.
If all else fails, find a big mug and fill it with coffee. I'm sure you'll be in good company!
Lauren studied under Deborah Pedrick, a pioneer in the field and founder of the Family Sleep Institute (FSI) and International Association of Child Sleep Consultants. She is thrilled to be able to educate families on the importance of sleep and to empower parents with the knowledge and ability to teach their kids to love sleep as much as her girls do!

How To Set up And Promote A Mountain Bike Race
It's mentioned that dwelling in the mountains is something that your body and soul by no means forgets. Mountain snowfall will range broadly by elevation & location, depending on favored circulate directions & wind redistribution. Solely 31 days to get all of it achieved at Full Metal Mountain. Here in the Evans Cycles warehouse you'll discover an enormous range of mountain bikes (MTB). It belongs to the Himalayas or Himalaya mountain range. Many begin out learning how you can mountain climb by basically mountaineering up hill.
Spring it on with an on-mountain party, our annual pond skim, and enjoyable-crammed day on the slopes. It's a nicely-made hardtail mountain bike fitted to a lot of different driving environments, from driving trails to just cruising around the neighborhood. So purchase all the necessary issues and tools it's best to have for mountain climbing. However, since mountain bikes can price over a thousand dollars, many individuals are scared away from making an attempt, pondering that they cannot afford it.
Climbing up more than 8000 ft is a feat that's extremely harmful and many individuals have died during the process. Complete daytime snow accumulation of lower than a half inch potential. The Diamondback Girls's Lux Mountain Bike is likely one of the greatest entry-stage mountain bikes for ladies. God says converse to the mountain. Tons and tons of snow, ice and particles streaking down a mountainside as an avalanche is most terrifying.
From the gorgeous views and Nature Trails, to the Historic Park and Mansion, Burritt has a plethora of actions and sights to get pleasure from.

The signs and symptoms of Mountain Dew Dependancy may be troublesome to acknowledge and many people might not understand just how much Mountain Dew they drink or that they're changing into dependent on it. A lot of the campgrounds along the Mountain Loop Scenic Byway are more rustic than Gold Basin, however many campsites are actually a couple of toes from a river's edge.

Patriarch Cyril, Abortions, Gays and the Goddess Aphrodite by Vladimir Moss
January 27, 2015 (Source: http://www.orthodoxchristianbooks.com)
We have heard a great deal recently about the immorality of the West from Patriarch Cyril of Moscow. As we must admit with sorrow, there is much truth in this critique. Unfortunately, however, the patriarch says much less about the sins of his own flock, which must surely be his first concern… The immoralities of "the Russian world" cry out to heaven for vengeance. And vengeance will certainly come especially upon those who hypocritically condemn others for the sins that they themselves commit.
The patriarch especially likes to focus on the sexual immorality of the West, while making constant "excuses for excuses for sin" as regards the sins of the Soviet people. In a recent speech to the Russian Duma, he pointed to the good points of the Soviet years, especially its "solidarity". Solidarity with whom? we may ask. With Christ? Surely not in the world's first atheist state. With the millions of those killed and tortured in the camps in the 1920s and 30s or condemned to a miserable catacomb existence for their faith? No way…
Some years ago, on coming to power, the patriarch had the extraordinary audacity to say that the Red Army in 1945 had "conquered death by death", redeeming the sins of the 1930s by their heroic exploit of saving the world from fascism. May 9, VE-Day for the Soviets, was "another Pascha". And yet what happened at this "Pascha"? The Nazis were defeated, yes – with a cruelty and sexual voracity the like of which has not been seen since the time of Genghis Khan. 1.4 million German women in Eastern Prussia were raped, and most of the female population of Berlin were raped multiple times, often while their husbands were forced to watch. Is this conquering death by death? Or is it multiplying death by death – both spiritual and physical?

Novice drivers in Super cars?
- Updated
I instruct with NASA here in NorCal and this weekend we had our first event of the year. In group 1 , novice drivers requiring an instructor to ride along, we had the following cars, BMW Z8, 04 Porsche GT3, 06 BMW M5, Multiple Subaru's STIs with "upgrades", and a Mistu EVO. In the past I've had a Nissan GTR and Lamborgini Murcialago in group1. My feeling is, it is great you can afford these types of cars but if you are just starting to drive at the track there are better choices in vehicles. The limits of these car are so high theat when the student do get in trouble the speeds are so much greater and the threat of personal injury is much greater let alone the possible damage to the car. Also the power of these cars mask the shortcomings of the driver. He thinks he is fast because he can pass just about anyone in the straights but in the corners they just about park it. Other drivers in the group can get some kicks passing these guys when they pay attention to the car stacking up behind them in the corners. Especially ones in Miatas, Civics, and Minis.
Sometimes I suceed in talking these guys into getting a smaller lower powered car to use in the future track events by mentions the upkeep on these car is get expensive over multiple trackdays ( Tires, Brakes, etc).
Some people have more money than brains, plus they think just because they can pay for it, they can drive it. I know my limits and purchase cars accordingly.
When I sold Porsches back in the 80's, some guys would get so ticked when we would not allow them to test drive a 911 turbo...for more reasons than the fact that we knew squat about these customers' driving prowess, they almost never understood why we did it.
Another issue is when these guys are passing so many people in group1, they think they are now ready to play with the bigs boys is group 3 or 4. The reasoning is that they are fast and these slow people are holding them back. It is funny to see a well driven Maita dog the back bumper of a Lambo or a GTR.
Personally, I don't think they should be allowed to just hop onto a track even with an instructor. Lots of people have more horsepower than sence. I was at the SFRSCCA's first solo of the season it was at a slightly hilly venue and the funny part is non of the "low" horsepower cars had issues, but the big, powerful "sports" cars seemed to find that their interpretaton of how far to push the righ pedal and reality often didn't agree.
People should get trained up in some small gutless wonder, then move up.
The first time I autocrossed was a very humbling experience. I would say you should give a little credit to the guys who are coming out for instruction on how to drive their supercars. I worry about the ones who don't seek improvement in their driving skills.
No, I appreciate the guy trying to get instruction, it is just their choice of equipment I have an issue with. When you forts try to lear to ride a bicycle you tr on a roadracing cycle, you start on a standard bike. While you may eventually learn on the racing bike you won;lt learn the fundmentals as well and you will possibly damage your bike and yourself.
"There are two things you can't tell a man how to do... and one of them is drive a car."
I believe that's Terry Earwood's quote. :-)
Bornrich winds up catching the worst case scenarios at his NASA days, of people buying high powered cars without first realizing the skills and responsibility of ownership.
The advantage of starting in a low powered car is that learning the nuance of oversteer, understeer, and entry, apex and exit speed is more easily understood in a nicely balanced momentum car over a twitchy high horsepower muscle or exotic car. With a low horsepower car there is more time to feel and correct mistakes and learn from those mistakes. With a high powered car things go wrong fast, it's dangerous, expensive and very little if anything is learned.
Some, after realizing they are over their heads, take a Skip Barber high performance driving or racing school. The Barber hp driving schools use M3's, Lotus Evora's, Lexus IS-F's and Porsche's. The racing schools are taught in both open wheel formula cars and MX-5's. Drivers learn vehicle dynamics through a series of progressive exercises that raise awareness and confidence in putting a car at its limits.
Its no different that the knuckleheads choosing 1000cc sportbikes as their first bike. Some people have to learn the hard way. This way Darwin weeds them out.
I agree with Hofmeyer.
I know a guy who bought an EVO because he wanted to reward himself. He said the car had so much power it scared him to death. We discussed various driving and racing schools where he could learn to enjoy it's potential. He checked them out and then, to his credit, sold the car realizing he didn't care enough to invest in the skill building required and didn't want to hurt himself or someone else.
Because we drive cars and motorcycles every day on the street we think we are better at it than we actually are. It's easy to understand how and why this false leap of faith is made but using that logic butchers would also be licensed surgeons.
I'm still waiting for 60 Minutes to run a feature on the Big Wallet/Tiny Talent crashing epidemic that is featured every week on the wreckedexotics website.

Time To Landscape Your New Yard? How To Add Beauty To The Design With Decorative Rock
Designing the landscaping is one of the funnest — and hardest — aspects of purchasing brand-new home. That's because you're starting from scratch, and the canvas is blank. Now that you're faced with the daunting task of designing your new yard, don't forget to add decorative rock to the design palette. Decorative rock isn't just for providing ground covering for large expanses of space. Decorative rock can also be used to create uniquely beautiful design features in your yard. Here are just three of the steps you can take to add beauty to your yard using decorative rock.
Create Dry Creeks for Flood Control
If your new home is located on a flood plain, you've got to prepare for the flow. The last thing you want is to have your new yard destroyed by the first torrential rain that comes through. Installing rain gutters on your home will take care of some of the problem, but you're going to need more. That's where decorative rock comes in handy. You can use decorative rock to create dry creek beds that will allow water to flow away from your home, while also providing a touch of natural beauty to your yard. To make sure you place your dry creeks in the right locations throughout the yard, take a look at the dirt. You'll see grooves in the dirt where the water has etched a path. Follow those paths to create your dry creeks.
Use Rock Instead of Mulch Around Your Trees
If you're going to plant trees in your yard, you may be planning on using mulch as a ground cover. Mulch does a good job of protecting your trees by preventing soil erosion and ensuring proper moisture absorption. However, it does have its drawbacks. When you use mulch, you have to accept that the color will fade and the wind will blow it all over your yard. That's why you should choose decorative rock for around your trees. The decorative rock will look beautiful year after year. Not only that, but it will also ensure proper moisture absorption, and the wind won't blow it away.
Incorporate Larger Rocks for a Dynamic Look
If you're going to be using decorative rock in your landscaping, don't forget to incorporate larger rocks for a more dynamic look. Placing larger rocks throughout your yard, especially in those large, open spaces, will add beauty to the design.

From Paris with Love Review – Kinda
Wouldn't you also agree that sometimes all you need to be happy is a big fat cheeseburger in a run down restaurant? It doesn't always have to be a fine dinner – at least to me.
In terms of movies this means that sometimes all I need is a big fat action movie without a complex plot but badass characters showing their badassery in each and every second. Cool stunts, cool one-liners and cool moments. That's about it.
But I seem to be one of the few, at least when you somehow count me to the folks who professionally review movies, a movie critic…*lolz, rofl etc.*
But you know? There are moments when I totally and truly and simply don't understand some of the movie critics out there. At least those who seem to be the kind of people who think that movies should always be deep, have rich characters or plots and so on. In other words those movie critics who seemingly only eat in high class restaurants while listening to some fine tunes of Bach.
From Paris with Love is in my eyes one of those moves that unmasks this kind of movie reviewers.
Perhaps I am truly biased towards From Paris with Love. Perhaps the reason is that I only am some stupid movie blogger and not a movie critic because I truly had great fun watching From Paris with Love. Almost from start to finish. It was a high octane action thriller with a cool as shit John Travolta doing cool as shit stuff all the time.
You know, From Paris with Love funnily is exactly that kind of movie I talked with my friends about much needed movies some weeks ago. We came to the conclusion that it's finally time again for a true, hardcore action flick. The kind of action movie I described above. Nothing more, nothing less. From Paris with Love really is just that – and at the end we all were happy to have watched it.
It's not that I loved this movie immediately. I didn't knew what was coming so I was skeptical. But the moment the movie won me over was this fucking vase filled with cocaine. The details really don't matter but the fact is that for at least twenty minutes the main character drags around this damn vase for reasons beyond him. You could say it's silly or stupid. But I loved it. It was a nice, simple and funny twist to the usual action formula.
The best of all is that From Paris is Love has more of those small twists. For example the movie cliché of unlimited ammunition. Although they seemingly carry guns with massive rounds, you see john Travolta more than once changing guns during shootouts. Another nice twist is one nameless agent who drives better than any Formula 1 pilot. Oh yeah: and there was not one single moment where I thought the characters act stupid. This is quite an accomplishment for an action flick.
Of course, the story is simple or to be more precise: it's non-existent with so many coincides that even Tokyo Godfathers would be proud. But who cares? I certainly didn't because…come on. Since when have high octane action flicks complex plots or deep characters or no coincides? Most often they don't. Look at Crank and you know what I mean.
As I have written in another post I am a movie watcher you throw anything to. I eat it. The only thing I care is whether a movie can entertain me in one way or another. I don't care if the movie is complex or simple. One thing I demand, though, is to go full force and to never ever compromise.
Of course, most of the movie critics hated From Paris with Love. Why? The only conclusion I came up with was the fact they only want to eat fine dinner all the time. In other words: deep complex movies with deep characters. Sheeesh!
Here is a message to them from good old madmind: for the love of God, if you don't like popcorn action flicks then don' watch them. If you love deep movies, look somewhere else. If you get forced by the editor to watch what you don't like tell him and let him send another one. And when you feel the dirty urge to watch something you don't like from the beginning then don't bother us with your high class talking of stupid plots or flat characters! You know, in my eyes Avatar is basically the same shit as it, too, has a stupid plot and totally flat characters. But somehow most of you movie critics didn't seem to care in that case. Oh my…
Did From Paris with Love have clichés? Of course, but they also had some nice small twists here and there as I already mentioned, so I didn't bother. Moreover I never got the feeling of: oh my, another cliché. One reason might be the amazing speed the movie pushed it's "plot" forward. There was after the slow start almost no pause at all.
Was From Paris with Love complex? Of course not! I knew where the plot was going from the beginning, but I really didn't fucking care. All I wanted to see were badass characters doing badass stuff in a badass way.
From Paris with Love gave me what I wanted.
From Paris with Love was the big, fat hamburger in a rundown restaurant I so wanted for a long time. Simple, stupid, badass, fun, full of action. Seriously, sometimes I really don't need more.
Any movie lover who is in the same mood should give this movie a chance. In other words: if you sometimes love …no…need just this should give From Paris with Love a chance.
Everyone else: look somewhere else. Don't' even bother thinking about this movie.
And by oh the way: any movie critic who compares From Paris with Love with the remake of Pelham 123 just because John Travolta is playing one vaguely similar character should get a reeeaaallllly good spanking.
What did you think of From Paris with Love? Did you like it or not and do you also sometimes think movie critics are not worth your reading time? (By the way: ignore the fact that I often am exactly the same when I don't like something most other people love *lol*)

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - - Playing its highest ranked opponent in program history, the Wilmington University women's basketball team couldn't keep up with nationally No. 2 Jefferson in a 77-56 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference loss inside the Gallagher Center on Wednesday night.
Undefeated Jefferson (20-0, 11-0 CACC) jumped up to No. 2 in the latest D2SIDA National Poll on Tuesday, while being ranked No. 4 in this week's WBCA Coaches Poll. The Rams turned 17 offensive rebounds into 20 second-chance points and 17 Wildcat (3-15, 3-7 CACC) turnovers into 21 points.
Jadyn Whitsitt hit a three-pointer at the halftime buzzer, keeping the Wildcats close, 38-26, heading into the break, but a Rams' 27-14 third quarter advantage opened the margin for the home team.
The Wildcats shot 54.5 percent from beyond the three-point arc, but only got 11 attempts off, going 6-for-11 from deep. Four of those three-pointers came in the second quarter. Macy Robinson hit one of those three-pointers to cut the deficit to 28-18, but the Rams scored the next six points to reopen a 34-18 lead. Now down 15, Whitsitt hit a running three-pointer at the buzzer to send the game into the halftime break, 38-26.
Jefferson came out of the break with a 10-2 run, setting up a big third quarter for the home team. A three-pointer gave the Rams their first 20-point lead, 51-30, with 5:34 to play in the third, and they took their largest lead of the game, 65-38, with 38 seconds left in the frame.
The Wildcats scored the first four points of the fourth quarter, and used an 11-5 run to start the final frame. But the Wildcats could only get to as close as 20 points the rest of the way before the Rams settled the score at 77-56.
Macy Robinson led the Wildcats with 14 points, shooting 5-of-8 from the floor. Jadyn Whitsitt hit three three-pointer and ended with 12 points, while Nyree Grant added 10 points. Emily Ansah led the team with eight rebounds while scoring nine points.
The Wildcats shot 41.7 percent from the floor and 10-of-15 from the foul line, but was out-rebounded 39-28 for the game.
The Wildcats return to the WU Athletics Complex for their next contest, as they host North Division's Caldwell on Saturday afternoon. The women tip-off at 1:00 p.m.

This International Service Project will provide regular and all-terrain wheelchairs to needy disabled children and adults in Costa Rica. The wheelchairs will be purchased through the Wheelchair Foundation and shipped by ocean container to Costa Rica. Assistance in Costa Rica is being provided by the Rotary Clubs of San Pedro/Curridabad, La Guaria Morava, and Cartago, who will help with Customs procedures, storage, and delivery of chairs. Interested Rotarians from the US can travel to Costa Rica to participate in the delivery process. We are pleased to be working with the Wheelchair Foundation, locally headquartered in Danville, which has a long and successful history of working with Rotary Clubs to provide wheelchairs to needy disabled children and adults around the world.
Due to ocean container shipping requirements, we are aiming to provide a minimum combination of 100-110 regular and all-terrain wheelchairs (at a cost of $16,500) and hopefully up to 200-220 (at a cost of $33,000). That is about $150 per chair for manufacturing, assembly, spare parts, shipping, and delivery all the way to the recipients in Costa Rica.
The chairs will include a mix of regular and all-terrain chairs, suitable for use depending upon the living conditions and requirements of the users. All-terrain chairs are in great demand because of the absence of paved streets in the rural areas and small towns, and even in the cities. The all-terrain chairs are larger than the regular chairs, which means that if we send more all-terrain chairs only 100 will fit in each container. The final delivery of the chairs will be made through voluntary palliative care organizations, nursery homes for the elderly and the disabled, and directly to individuals, located in different urban and rural areas of Costa Rica. By distributing some chairs through institutions, they can be returned to those institutions when no longer needed, to be re-used by other patients.
We already have a tremendous head-start on this project through the leadership of the Rotary Club of La Mesa-Sunrise and District 5340 in San Diego. They are committed to provide $9,000 of funding, and working on another $3,000; that would be over one-third of the total needed for 200-220 chairs. We are asking local Clubs and individuals in our area and in other areas of the US, to contribute the additional funds to achieve the goal of 200-220 wheelchairs for Costa Rica. If 14 Clubs or groups each contribute $1,500 (that's about 10 chairs each), we will be there.
Donations must be received by October 31 so that the chairs can be delivered in Costa Rica in April or May 2017. Please make checks payable to "Wheelchair Foundation", with memo line "Costa Rica Wheelchairs 2016", and mail them in care of The Rotary Club of Walnut Creek, Attn. Bob Romero, P. O. Box 4191, Walnut Creek, CA 94598. Donations to The Wheelchair Foundation, an IRC 501(c)(3) charitable organization, are tax deductible. Checks will be turned over to the Wheelchair Foundation as soon as the minimum $16,500 has been received, and the remaining checks will be turned over by October31 when all checks must be received.
Please share this information with other friends and other interested potential contributors. If you have questions please contact Bob Romero, of the Rotary Club of Walnut Creek, at 925-457-4291, romero0425 @aol.com.

The Loon and I have been enjoying this Classic Candied Yams recipe since the days back when we lived in NYC. A group of close friends would gather every year and make a Thanksgiving Day feast. Our dear friend, Wendy (or Wattussi, as we like to call her) was responsible for the candied yams.
OMG…they are melt in your mouth good, and saucy, and sweet, and decadent.
Over the years, the dear group of friends began moving away from NYC as life sometimes dictates…but we still cherish the amazing, wonderful and fun memories of those times. This recipe is how I remember Wattussi making them. They are so good and perfect for your Thanksgiving feast. Enjoy and Be Thankful.
Watch us show you how easy it is to make the Classic Candied Yams, then see/print the recipe below!
Now, go ahead and make this incredible Candied Yams recipe!
Classic Candied Yams
- 6 medium yams
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 stick unsalted butter, 8 tbsp cut into pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup water

- Let cool for a bit until you can easily handle them.
- Peel the potatoes, then cut into 1/2 inch slices.
- Place yams in skillet and then cover with the two sugars, butter and water.
- Cook, uncovered, on low heat until the yams are tender and the liquid has become thick, about 1 hour, basting and stirring occasionally.

For this list, we decided not to include cartoons or Saturday morning themes… that will get its own due in the coming months. Everything else was fair game. Several factors were taken into account when ranking them: quality, relevance, historic significance and lasting appeal. It all starts here…
[reviews were penned by Spence Abbott, Chris Carle, Eric Goldberg, Dan Iverson, and Brian Zoromski]
50. Beverly Hills 90210
It's hard to believe that the early version of the theme to this hugely successful 1990's teen soap was even more synthesizer fueled then the one in later seasons. Who could forget Jason Priestly pumping his fist to the two beats that open this keyboard and sax-filled melody to rich kids and their tangled love lives? -EG
49. Rawhide
If the Blues Brothers never had to resort to covering this theme in the rowdy country (and) western bar, it would still be a classic. Whip-cracks and all, you can almost smell the doagies with your ears. A seminal TV western theme, it isn't quite as "git along" as Bonanza, but it comes close. -CC
48. The Odd Couple
"Da-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo…" The opening bounce of the theme song to Neil Simon's dysfunctional buddy comedy is one of the most unmistakable theme songs in all of television history. That it expertly captures the nebbish, obsessive/compulsive tendencies of Felix Unger as well as the slob, king slacker personality of Oscar Madison is not only a tribute to the show, but also to composer Neil Hefti's (the man also responsible for the raucous Batman TV theme, no less) grasp of the material. -SA
47. Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
"Now... this is a story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down, and I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air." If you are in your yearly to mid-twenties and cannot recite at least this much of the theme, then shame on you. Where were you when Will Smith sat on his throne as the prince of Bel Air? All kidding aside, whether you know the lyrics or not, you cannot deny the simple rhymes that help make this jingle stay in your head long after the opening credits end. -DI
46. The A-Team
As everybody knows, all heroes need a theme song. To this end, the spoken word intro leading into the blaring horns and pounding percussion that were laced throughout this theme brought to mind the glory cinematic war/western days of John Wayne and an overwhelming sense of American/national pride. It's like a pomp and circumstance revelry tailor made for jovial mercenaries for hire. Plus it made you want to jump out of a moving van and shoot the bad guys something fierce. -SA
45. Dallas
Most of the songs on this list will have lyrics, as it is easier for a jingle with lyrics to get stuck in your head. But every so often a television theme song will represent the mood of the show, and be catchy enough that it will be moving in your head years after the show has been cancelled. Dallas is like that. While listening to the theme song you know that you are getting a large dramatic show, which will have a more grandiose nature. Dallas' theme song is a memorable song that more than represented one of the most popular primetime dramas of the Eighties. -DI
44. Barney Miller
Jack Elliot and Allyn Ferguson's theme encapsulated the funky vibe of the mid-'70s to a T. It also molded itself perfectly to the funky, almost off-the-cuff nature of this ensemble police buddy comedy that took place almost entirely in the precinct station house. Driven by loping bass and a staccato horn section this is one of those songs that just way too short. The duo would later reprise their undeniably funky inclinations with the equally rump shaking theme to Fish, the Abe Vigoda spin-off that followed in 1977. -SA
43. Twin Peaks
Angelo Badalamenti's eerie, hollow theme was an amazing appetizer for a show that consistently lived on the fringe, outside of expectation. Like the banks of fog that blanket the show's opening, Twin Peaks' theme shrouds the series in mystery and gets the viewer primed for the chilling, sometimes horrifying proceedings. The off-kilter vibe and the empty tone matches the open expanse of Pacific Northwest, where the show is set. -CC
42. Bonanza
This rollicking Western track has been used and over-used a ton since its debut on the Sixties series. Conjuring up wagons rolling, and life on the frontier, it is every bit as iconic as some of the traditional American folk sings. In fact, it may already be considered one by many forward-thinking historians. -CC
41. All in the Family
What more can you ask for than Carroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton singing off-key and craggy (totally pre-karaoke, too) "Those Were The Days"? Charles Strouse, the composer/writer of the opening theme song has no less than three Tony Awards under his belt for Best Musical (among them one for Bye, Bye Birdie), so it's no wonder that the song was not only quirky, but damn catchy in that Broadway type of way. -SA

"I grew up listening to various Alan Menken songs, so they all hold a happy place in my heart," said Lindsay, who originated the role of Katherine at Paper Mill Playhouse, where the musical received its world premiere in September 2011.
The Broadway production took home 2012 Tony Awards for Best Choreography (Christopher Gattelli) and Best Original Score (Menken and Feldman) and was nominated for Best Actor (Jeremy Jordan), Best Book (Harvey Fierstein), Best Direction (Jeff Calhoun), Best Orchestrations (Daniel Troob), Best Scenic Design (Tobin Ost and Sven Ortel) and Best Musical.
"Set in New York City at the turn of the century," Newsies, according to press notes, "is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a ragged band of teenaged 'newsies,' who dreams only of a better life far from the hardship of the streets. But when publishing titans Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst raise distribution prices at the newsboys' expense, Jack finds a cause to fight for and rallies newsies from across the city to strike for what's right."
Playbill.com asked Newsies stars Cott and Lindsay to pick their favorite songs from Tony winner Menken and tell us why they made the list.
Visit NewsiesTheMusical.com.
Kara Lindsay: Any song from Beauty and the Beast, especially "No Matter What," the duet that Belle sings with her father. Any song between a father and daughter always gets me! It's a sweet and simple song…loving each other for being different or "odd."
Corey Cott: "Beauty and the Beast" from "Beauty and the Beast." Don't really think this needs an explanation. One of the most beautiful sequences in animation history - nay, film history.
Kara Lindsay: "Gaston" from "Beauty and the Beast." Who doesn't love a meathead singing a song about how awesome he is whilst drinking a jug of beer? That's comedy!
Corey Cott: The entire "Hercules" soundtrack. I mean, it's pretty hard to pick a favorite from this score. I am pretty sure most theatre kids of my generation have shamelessly jammed out to this soundtrack while driving to high school in the morning or getting ready for the day. I did on MANY occasions, including my own wedding reception.
Kara Lindsay: "Somewhere that's Green" from Little Shop of Horrors. I love that it's both quirky and honest. It's delightfully sweet and a song I always love hearing.
Corey Cott: "Out There" from "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." This film was a pinnacle part of my childhood — a beautiful melody and a quintessential "I Want" song. Tom Hulce's voice is iconic, and you have so much sympathy for Quasimodo. If this ever comes to Broadway — #DreamRole
Kara Lindsay: "Kiss the Girl" from "The Little Mermaid" It makes me smile. It's comical, sweet and romantic all at once!
Corey Cott: "Santa Fe" from Newsies. I couldn't leave this out. After having the privilege of singing this song every night for pretty much a year now, it will always be engrained in me as a paramount part of Menken/Musical Theatre history. I fall in love with it again and again nightly.
Kara Lindsay: Also, "Part of Your World" from "The Little Mermaid" It's every little girl's anthem. Wanting to be a part of something bigger and more exciting… dreaming of what you'll grow up to be and hoping it will be anything but the boring mundane.
Corey Cott: "A Whole New World" from "Aladdin." "Aladdin" was the first movie I ever saw in the theatre. I remember it was the most sweeping, electric story I had ever experienced. I was only three years old, but I remember the movie very vividly. Oh, and I am pretty sure Jasmine was my first crush.


text: As we posted up the promo flyer for the show a little while ago, our friends over at Matthew Namour Gallery are well under way on their show entitled "Hommage" by Kevin Cyr</a>. The show features beautiful painting and drawing work by Cyr which is rooted in the graffiti and street art landscape of Montreal. If you haven't made it out there yet and you're in Montreal, be sure to stop by before it closes on October 30th!

What Is Fluocinonide?
Fluocinonide is a corticosteroid medication a doctor may recommend for topical use in patients with skin conditions. This medication will suppress inflammation and limit itching to keep the patient more comfortable. It is very potent and should not be used in the long term, as this can expose the patient to the risk of serious side effects. The drug is available by prescription only to ensure that it is used appropriately.
This drug comes in gel, cream, and ointment form. To apply it, the patient should wash the affected area with mild soap and pat it dry before applying a thin layer of medication. An applicator trowel can be helpful for this process. If the patient uses his bare hands, he should wash them thoroughly afterward to limit absorption of the medication through the skin. If the medication is necessary to treat a skin condition on the hands, it is important to let the hands rest while the medication soaks in, and to avoid touching the mouth, nose, or eyes.
The medication will reduce itching, redness, and swelling associated with eczema and many other skin conditions. Some patients may develop worse symptoms in an adverse reaction to fluocinonide. These patients will need to try a different medication to manage their skin. There is also a risk of increased itching and skin thinning, particularly with long term fluocinonide use. Skin thinning is a common issue with potent topical steroids, and patients should talk about it with their doctors if they have a frequent need for such medications.
Patients with diabetes should discuss fluocinonide with their doctors, as it can raise blood glucose levels and may make it harder for them to manage their diabetes. The drug can also be dangerous in pregnant women, although studies on the safety of fluocinonide during pregnancy are still inconclusive. Because of its potency, doctors cannot recommend this medication for treatment of chronic skin problems, and these patients will need to pursue other options.
Use of fluocinonide while an active infection is occurring is not recommended. The medication can decrease immune strength and may make the patient more susceptible to complications. Patients who notice broken skin, strange discharges, or changes in skin color around the site where they use the medication should stop and consult a doctor. They may need to rest and allow the skin to recover before resuming fluocinonide therapy, or the drug may not be safe for use at all.

Commander Peter Spindler said officers are following more than 400 lines of inquiry linked to the victims, of whom all except two are women.
He said investigators have so far spoken to 130 people who have come forward, and 114 allegations of crime have emerged.
Praising victims for their courage in coming forward, he encouraged anyone else who is wondering whether to speak out to do so.
"That's the type of people who are the most vulnerable in our society, and they do need to be given a voice. I think what's happened with this inquiry is that others have clearly demonstrated that they do have a voice and that they will be heard."
He also warned current abuse offenders that police "will come for them".
Cmdr Spindler said: "While Britain reflects on how Savile was able to hide in plain sight, I think it's quite important that we focus on what's happening today in our society and our activities in the coming weeks hopefully will be a stark warning to any men out there today who think they can exploit their positions of power and influence and abuse children and young people in Britain.
"I really do want them to take heed, and tell them that we will come for them."
So far, the NSPCC has had 439 calls about sexual abuse in the past three weeks, a 60% rise on what they would normally receive.
Two out of five have been referred to social services and the police.
Today Lord Patten, the chairman of the BBC Trust, has said the "tsunami of filth" that has emerged over Savile's child abuse had caused "terrible damage" to the BBC.
He said the governing body's priority was to "get to the bottom of what's happened" for the sake of victims who have been "marooned for years" with no-one believing them.
Speaking on Radio 4's The World at One, he also carried on his spat with the Culture Secretary, Maria Miller, saying the BBC was "not an agency of the government" and "it's important for people to remember that".
He said: "Our main concern has to be for the victims of abuse and worse who have been marooned for years, trying to tell their stories and not being believed, including, it seems, by the BBC, and to deal with the terrible damage to the BBC."
He defended the performance on Tuesday of the BBC's Director General, George Entwistle, before a committee of MPs, saying: "If there had been a combination of Benjamin Disraeli and Mr Gladstone in front of the committee they would have had a pretty tough job.
"It was a very, very difficult baptism of fire for a new Director General, this great tsunami of filth broke over him 11 days into the job."
Following Mr Entwistle's appearance before the culture, media and sport committee, the Culture Secretary, Maria Miller, wrote to Mr Patten saying the public still had "very real concerns" about the scandal and urging him to make sure three independent inquiries reporting to the BBC Trust were as thorough as possible.
Mr Patten sent back a testy reply suggesting to the minister that he was sure she would not want to "question the independence of the BBC".
Today he defended his strongly-worded letter, saying: "It seemed quite important for people to remember that the BBC is independent, it's not an agent of the government, and it's important for people to remember that."
Mr Patten admitted he had not read newspaper cuttings sent to him in January and February which broke the news that a Newsnight investigation into Savile had been dropped in December last year.
The cuttings were "buried" among around 150 other cuttings about the BBC sent to him every day, he said, and he only found out about the Newsnight affair at the end of September, as ITV prepared to broadcast its own investigation into the Savile.
Asked if it was wrong for the Director General, George Entwistle, to heap blame for the Newsnight affair on the programme's editor, Peter Rippon, he said: "We get hammered on both sides of the street.
"We get hammered if you don't question someone's editorial decision and you get hammered if you do."
The number of possible sexual abuse victims being investigated under Operation Yewtree is now understood to be approaching 300.
Police have searched Savile's cottage in the Scottish Highlands after fears he used the home to abuse victims. It is reported 20 allegations of abuse at the cottage are being investigated.
Savile hosted high profile guests at the isolated cottage in Glencoe including Prince Charles.
It has been untouched since Savile's death last year but police apparently believed that it could hold vital clues which may help the investigation.
The Northern Constabulary, who carried out the search of the cottage, said last night: "We are assisting with the logistics of a Met operation."

There's still time to save the post office
Have you ever had a piece of mail ruined? A letter crunched or a poster bent? Chances are that the culprit behind such destructive negligence was someone employed or some machine used by the United States Postal Service. I cannot tell you how many issues of my Transworld subscription have been destroyed by poor handling or how many packages have ended up in wrong states only to be told that an error had an occurred and, "We're sorry."

School Production "Bugsy Malone"
Queen's Hall, Hexham – 22nd & 23rd June 2016
On the 23rd of June 2016, I attended the St Joseph's RC Middle School performance of 'Bugsy Malone'. Consisting of an all children cast from years 5-8, each child played their own part in creating a sensational performance. With an incredible band accompanying the astonishing performances and set, the play really did make me feel as if I was in early 1920's New York.
The main cast gave all-star performances, each displaying confidence with exceptional comedic timing. The duo of Captain Smolsky and O' Dreary stood out especially as the two fools of the play, bringing laughter to every scene they starred in. Fat Sam and Fizzy were also wonderfully played, pouring energy onto the stage. Also, the romantic relationship between Bugsy Malone and Blousey Brown was portrayed in a truly remarkable manner, each scene feeling utterly convincing. Starring besides this colourful cast was also the flirtatious and manipulative Tallulah who contributed the last piece to the enigmatic jigsaw of the main roles. Despite these characters being the "poster-names", it does not detract from the other incredible actors who all had crucial roles in bringing the play to life. One stand out scene from the ensemble was the auditions scene, which was hilarious to say the least, as every single actor who came on stage brought immense comedy with them. This became particularly evident as I witnessed a member of the audience crying with laughter.
The band and choir upheld a compelling performance throughout. The live music really did make the play feel like a Broadway classic due to immense work by Phil Rosier and the captivating jazz being performed really transported the audience back to the roaring twenties. The vocals of the choir were mesmerizing. Not only were the accents of the actors up to par, but they were consistent throughout the whole play as they were also audible during the songs; such as 'My Name is Tallulah' and 'Down and Out'. Due particular praise were the incredible solos from Alex Binns and Martha Cook.
Overall, the production of the performance was prodigious. The costumes were exceptionally appropriate to the era of the play, thanks to the marvellous work by Julie Sinclair. Choreography was key in the jam-packed scenes such as the explosive ending, and each slight bit of movement was executed with perfect timing due to Cheryl Washbourne and the dancers tremendous work. Then of course a special thanks has to be given to Robert Hudson and Kirsten Coulson who brought together the whole drama aspect of the play. When asked if she enjoyed the whole process of the play Mrs Coulson said "Yes, it has been very interesting doing a performance of this scale, and it has given me ideas of what I want to do next in a couple years time, and I was really proud of the kids last night". So we all have something to look forward to for in the future.
St Joseph's has historically produced some outstanding theatrical performances and this is undoubtedly due to the passion and confidence instilled by the staff along with the dedication of the pupils. It was an extremely pleasurable watch for myself and the house packed audience.
Headteacher, Fiona Conley, commented, "Throughout rehearsals and performances the comradeship and enjoyment of all those involved was truly commendable. St. Joseph's is very fortunate to have such talented and gifted performers!"
Every year St Joseph's takes part in the Tynedale Music Festival.
Bi-annually, we run an Arts Week in school and stage a production at the Queen's Hall in Hexham.

Matt Lane works at the Peter Lik Gallery in Lahaina. But 12 years ago, when he was a server at Hard Rock Cafe just up the street, he organized the first Lahaina Town Clean Up. Saturday, Sept. 24 will see this year's clean up, which has ballooned from a modest gathering of Lane and his trash bag-wielding friends into a well-funded, extensively sponsored event that enjoys tremendous support across Maui.
"This year's clean up includes all the beaches, both boat harbors, and streets of Lahaina Town all the way from Puamana to Mala Ramp," states the official event news release. "This event has taken place for 12 years in collaboration with Malama Maui Nui and the Hui O wa'a Kaulua, making it not only one of the largest, but one of the most successful ongoing town cleanups in Hawaii."
On Wednesday, Sept. 14, I spoke with Lane by phone about why he started the annual clean-up and where he intends to go from here.
MAUITIME: So what is the Lahaina Town Clean Up exact?
MATT LANE: It's a community clean up. Grassroots. Your friends and family get together to take care of the neighborhood. Lahaina is a big neighborhood, so it helps to get a lot of people. We have so many people already–250 people already committed. There could be 400 to 500 people there–we've had that many before.
MT: What's your role in the thing?
ML: I'm just a facilitator–I help everyone get together. Yeah, I'm the founder, but we're just creating a model for everyone. The Lahaina Yacht Club wanted to clean up Mala; the Rotary Club was doing a clean up. It was perfect timing. Everyone's already working on their individual efforts. Everyone's just coming together.
MT: Who else is helping you?
ML: Magen Schifiliti with Trilogy, Sandy Schneider with the Rotary Club Lahaina Sunset, Andrew O'Riordan with Surfrider Foundation, Kristin McFarland with Maui Surf Clinics, Lahaina Harbor Master Miles Lopes, Javier Barberi of Down the Hatch, Christy Kozama of Malama Maui Nui and Keahi Ho of Lahaina Yacht Club.
MT: Why is this clean up necessary?
ML: A lot of waste accumulates, but education is important. Just picking things up makes you think about trash, about how you consume. You become conscious of how people treat the world as their ashtray. I'd prefer to not be cleaning up. I'd like to just be proactive–put up signs, do stenciling, hold workshops. We just can't keep cleaning up the beaches. It's better to do preventative measures.
MT: Have you seen any progress through the years?
ML: Over the last 12 years, the town's a lot cleaner, for real. One year, we took 10 dump truckloads out of Moku'ula. We've cleared multiple 40-yard dumpsters. It's been a really good effort. Stuff that was out there five, 10 years ago isn't coming back.
The County of Maui's been good about picking up white goods–washers, dryers, etc.–so there are a lot less of those. And Malama Maui Nui has played a huge part in this. They facilitate all the community organizations doing clean ups, making it very easy for us.
MT: Why did you start this?
ML: I was walking down to the beach to surf with my friends in Lahaina. They really cared about how we treated the land. We talked about cleaning it, and I said let's do it. It was their idea, and they all helped.
MT: What was it like that first year?
ML: We all just showed up with garbage bags. We gave away some boards at Hard Rock after. There were 80 to 90 volunteers.
MT: What did you learn from those first few years?
ML: We learned that having less waste cans around Front Street is actually better than having a lot of cans. People hold onto things, and throw away less if there aren't a lot of cans around. Also, cigarette butts are our number one trash item.
MT: I was going to ask you what you've picked up the most.
ML: Cigarettes. That and bottle caps. Since the plastic bag ban went into effect, there has been tons less waste. We used to find hundreds of bags, but they're just not there anymore.
MT: What else have you learned?
ML: That coming together as a community is really powerful. It's wild to see kids grow up, in college now, and still participating. They're not going to waste like we do.
MT: How do recent years compare to that first clean up 12 years ago?
ML: The participation–it's incredible. We already have groups going down there, forming their own clean ups. There's also a lot less garbage on the beaches today. It's easier for us to clean up now so we can do stuff like preventative drain stenciling. Before, we just didn't have the time.
MT: Stenciling?
ML: Yeah, the county wants us to measure the storm drains. We're making a map of where all the drains are. Nobody's done that in a really long time.
MT: I also noticed that your volunteers do data collection. What's that?
ML: It's part of the International Coastal Cleanup–the ICC. As people pick up trash, they record data on these cards.
MT: Such as?
ML: What are we picking up? How many cigarette butts are we picking up? How many plastic bags are we finding? Are there animals?
MT: Ok, so someone signs up to participate. What should he or she expect?
ML: They should bring a water bottle. They will come in the morning. Everyone will be put into groups. They'll get gloves, maps and be assigned a route leader. The first objective will be Mala Ramp. Eight to 10 boating companies will help clean it up as well. Rotary will work on the tennis courts across from 505 Front Street. And one group will meet up with Trilogy and clean up the harbor. Then everyone fills out their ICC data cards. There will be some gifts–t-shirts, hats–and lunch will come from Pacific'O.
MT: That's a lot.
ML: We'll also be doing a bag-less clean up. We'll be using reusable sacks provided by Maui Brewing Company. We've never had a clean up before where we didn't use trash bags.
MT: Ok, for my last question, I noticed in your email signature that you're part of something called Cultivate Media. What is that?
ML: That's something that started with Community Work Day. We helped put together school gardens. All projects I do now fall into that. Putting on concerts, consulting–it's all about cultivating relationships and the people around me.
MT: How?
ML: When I went on tour with Jack Johnson, I talked to venue owners. It makes sense to have water stations instead of having people use water bottles. It also makes sense to use local food and beers. We're trying to change music venues around the world. I've been working on this for four years. I want to do music events that help change the way we consume.

Funeral held in Georgia for Olympic luger
A nation that had hoped to watch one of its most promising young athletes compete in the Olympics gathered instead Saturday to mourn him, more than a week after the luger was thrown to his death in a practice run at the Vancouver Games.
Nodar Kumaritashvili, 21, died after slamming into a pole on the luge course hours before the opening ceremony. He lost control of his sled, shot off course and hit the pole at nearly 145 km/h.
Thousands of mourners flocked to the yard of his family's two-storey brick home in Bakuriani, Georgia, for a traditional funeral feast. Inside, the body lay in a coffin, surrounded by Orthodox Christian icons and burning candles.
A small choir sang Georgian chants and a portrait of the athlete hung on the wall.
His father, David Kumaritashvili, stared at the portrait and said, "I wanted to throw a wedding feast for you. Instead, we have a funeral."
The luger is to be buried in the cemetery of a tiny church in the snowy alpine village, Georgia's top winter sports retreat. President Mikhail Saakashvili attended the funeral. Earlier, family and friends poured red wine in the grave as part of the burial rite in the Caucasus Mountains nation with centuries-old winemaking traditions.
Kumaritashvili's friends and family said that despite his age, he was an experienced athlete who came from a dynasty of lugers. One of his relatives pioneered the sport in Georgia, and his father and two uncles won multiple awards in the sport in Soviet and international championships.
Kumaritashvili participated in two World Cup competitions and was regarded as one of the country's most promising athletes.
An investigation found that Kumaritashvili was late in coming out of the next-to-last turn and failed to compensate. But his family and others have insisted he was experienced, and have blamed his death on the course's design.
Concerns about Whistler course
Concerns about the course had been raised for months. Many worried that the $100-million-plus venue was too technically demanding, and that only Canada's sliders would have enough time to adapt to it during practice. Kumaritashvili had completed only 26 runs on the Whistler course, while Canadian lugers ran the track hundreds of times.
In his hometown, the athlete was a hero, especially to the children who looked up to him.
Neighbour Dmitry Laliyev, 4, had asked Kumaritashvili to bring him a toy rifle back from Canada. The athlete's parents found the toy in Nodar's luggage after his death and gave it to Laliyev.
The boy played with the toy Saturday among the crowd of mourners.
"Nodar brought me this," the boy said, pointing at the plastic rifle.
The boy's father, Gogi Laliyev, said when the athlete travelled he always brought home presents for Dmitry.
"I told Dmitry, 'Nodar promised to get you the rifle, so he got it for you,'" Laliyev said, trying to hold back his tears.

The Mets are now seven games under .500. They are eight games out in the wild-card race. They are nine games behind Washington — where they just dropped two out of three — in the NL East race.
You get the picture.
Double-digits are likely around the corner for the 2014 squad. Despite the pitching prowess, you do need to score some runs occasionally. And when you look at the Mets' lineup these days, you wonder sometimes how they score at all.
The Mets have just three spots at the moment that are giving them anything resembling decent offense: the right side of their infield and center field. And Thursday in their 13-inning loss, Lucas Duda and Juan Lagares combined to go 1-for-9 with four strikeouts and a walk.
But in fairness, Duda has been a revelation thus far, coming off a breakout July even though he needs to hit lefties better. Lagares has revived himself lately, and continues to amaze defensively on a daily basis in center. And Daniel Murphy does lead the NL in hits, with three more on the ledger Thursday.
But the rest of the lineup can't get out of their own way right now. And you can start with the captain, David Wright, who continues to insist that his sore shoulder is not a problem. But his hitting is. The Mets have played 20 games since the All-Star break and Wright is now batting .192 (15-78) with zero home runs and just six RBIs during that span. He avoided an 0-for-6 yesterday with a double in his final at-bat.
You want more?
Curtis Granderson did have the game-tying RBI that sent Thursday's game to extras, but it was just his second hit in his last 26 at-bats. He's hitting .133 (8-for-60) over his last 16 games with 19 strikeouts.
Yes, Travis d'Arnaud has improved, but he's also slumping. Over his last 15 games, he's batting .196 (10-for-51).
Ruben Tejada has been more than adequate defensively, but is hitting a paltry .150 (9-for-60) over his last 20 games.
And then there's the black hole that is left field. Manager Terry Collins goes through his daily brain-tease as to who to put out there to give him a semblance of something.
Chris Young? Need we say more?
The other Young, Eric Jr.? He almost got one into the gap yesterday, but a great Jayson Werth catch turned it into a sacrifice fly. Nonetheless, EY is batting .167 (7-for-42) since July 1.
Eric Campbell? He's slowed down as well, just .136 (3-for-22) over his last 10 games.
Kirk Nieuwenhuis? Newie has done a terrific job as a pinch-hitter, going 7-for-17 (.412) in that role, further reinforcing his value as a fourth outfielder. But he's hitting only .196 (9-for-46) otherwise.
So you can see why it sometimes takes Collins hours to figure out what his lineup will be that day. He constantly has to wipe the tears from his eyes.
Maybe a four-game wraparound series against the Phillies in hitter-friendly Citizens Bank Park over the weekend will cure some ills.
And don't forget, the run differential is only -1 at the moment.
C U soon

New Delhi: The court earlier asked the rebel MLAs to appear before the Speaker. The Speaker contended that such a direction cannot be issued by the top court and sought an urgent hearing on his application.
The Speaker said his constitutional duties and Assembly rules mandated him to verify whether the original reason behind the resignations tendered by the MLAs and whether these were voluntary or coerced.
Therefore, to determine this, an inquiry cannot be completed within the stipulated time-frame set by the top court in its order, he argued. A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi refused urgent hearing on the matter but allowed the Speaker's application to be filed and indicated that the matter will be taken up for hearing along with the petition of 10 rebel MLAs.
Speaker's counsel senior advocate A.M. Singhvi and Devadatt Kamat contended before the court that the Speaker was constitutionally bound to first take up the disqualification proceedings first.
The bench led by the Chief Justice replied it had already passed the order in the morning. "It is for the Speaker to decide on the nature of course of action... We will hear you tomorrow."

PARAMARIBO, Suriname, Oct. 3 (UPI) -- Scientists say they've discovered 60 species new to science, including a chocolate-colored frog and a tiny beetle just a tenth of an inch long, in Suriname.
The findings were the result of a 2012 expedition to an area of rivers, mountains and rainforest in the southeastern region of the South American country, the scientists reported.
The area investigated had "virtually no human influence," the researchers said.
Particularly surprising, they said -- and encouraging -- was the number of frogs discovered.
"With many frog species rapidly disappearing around the globe, we were surprised and uplifted to discover so many frogs potentially new to science, including a stunningly sleek 'cocoa' tree frog," field biologist Trond Larsen told the BBC.
The "chocolate" frog lives on trees, using round discs on its fingers and toes to climb, the scientists said.
A ruby-colored beetle, named Canthidium cf minimum for its tiny dimensions, is possibly the second smallest dung beetle known in South America, they said.
The researchers reached the remote study area by plane, then helicopter and finally by boat and on foot, with help from local indigenous communities.
They identified 1,378 different species, saying "there are very few places left on Earth that are as pristine and untouched as this region."

2000 Class Association members are a friendly bunch. We like to share our tips and advice with our colleagues and encourage potential buyers to join us. As a racing fleet we are competitive but supportive of less experienced sailors. We also try to arrange a complementary social programme, meeting other 2000 owners and having a good evening in the club after a hard day's sailing. As a cruising fleet, we meet up with all our families, have BBQs, treasure hunts and sail around the venue. Either way - with us, it's all about having fun with the 2000.
Joining the Class Association is easy, all you need to do is download and fill out an
Application Form
, write a cheque for Ł15 and send it to the Membership Secretary using the address on the form. Should you have any queries these can also be addressed to the
Membership Secretary
The Association is here to protect your interests, we oversee the class rules - making sure that any changes that do come about do not greatly depreciate the value of the older boats. We play an active role with Laser in examining any proposed modifications to the boat or its equipment so that any potential changes do not significantly alter the competitiveness of the one-design boat.
Throughout the year articles are written and collated for the Association's publication - Millennium Mutterings. This is delivered FREE to all members and includes stories of general interest and reports from events. If you have an article you would like to share with everyone then please contact our
This website is also maintained to keep you up to date on all the news and events. There is also a
available for you to post your own comments/news/questions. If you have any queries or comments on this site then please email our
One of the Association's functions is to promote class racing. We do this by organising a number of open meetings called the "Millennium Series" throughout the season, and a National Championship event each year. Racing is open to all Class Association members and is there to help you get the best out of your 2000. During these meetings we frequently pass around information and tips on rigging/sailing and the best ones get posted to this site.
If you think that you are not good enough to come to the Open meetings, think again! You may not win your first race but it is far quicker to improve your boat handing skills and learn how to make your boat go faster alongside other 2000s than it is trying to learn tricks off an RS200 or GP14!
We also encourage cruising. The 2000 is a good family boat, very stable and suitable for all the family. Dependent on interest, we can arrange events on either inland waters or at coastal venues. These events are geared towards family fun, allowing everyone to relax and enjoy time both on and off the water, very often camping next to the water. The meetings are very flexible and you can join in as much or as little as you like.
