paw, Dewpaw’s brother, raced through the crowd, looking for wounds. Eaglepaw was Frayedleaf’s apprentice, so he would replaced her when Frayedleaf died.
Dewpaw felt a twinge of anger. Why did Eaglepaw have to be a Medicine Cat Apprentice? It was lonely in the apprentices’ den without him. Most other apprentices had littermates with them, like Sagepaw and Nightpaw. Dewpaw had no one.
Moonstar was attempting to organize the chaos. As soon as she noticed Thrushfur and Dewpaw, she leapt down from the Highlog and ran over to them. Dewpaw could see the relief in her eyes.
“Where were you?” Moonstar demanded.
“I was looking for what the intruders were looking for,” Dewpaw replied.
Moonstar glared at Thrushfur. If looks could kill, Dewpaw thought.
Dewpaw nodded and ran over to the apprentices’ den. Inside she found Nightpaw lying lazily in on her moss.
The two she-cats left the den and began to search the camp. They found Sagepaw by the elders’ den, staring at the mass of cats in the clearing.
“Coming!” the tabby apprentice replied.
The three cats headed for the bramble tunnel. Outside they found Whitefire waiting for them. “Let’s move,” the warrior mewed.
Dewpaw followed Whitefire through the forest. The tortoiseshell she-cat moved flawlessly through the forest, barely noticing the snow. Dewpaw stared in awe at the site, then shook her head. Distraction could lead to death out here.
She threw a quick glance over her shoulder. Nightpaw and Sagepaw were still behind them, picking there way across the ‘Winter Wonderland’. Dewpaw had never gotten why Moonstar called their forest that. As if having an eternal leaf-bare was wonderful.
A small plant caught Dewpaw’s eye, and she turned to see a small bundle of Feverfew growing in a small green patch. She quickly grabbed the herbs and fell back into line. Whitefire continued to glide through the forest, unhindered.
Before Dewpaw and the others could catch up to their escort, Whitefire halted. A quick flick of her tail told the apprentices to stay back. Then the warrior slowly edged forward.
Dewpaw strained her neck to see what had caused Whitefire to tense up like that. She could see two dark silhouettes standing out against the snow. Her eyes narrowed. The FireClan warriors were back!

Through visitor and marketplace research, and program and exhibition evaluation, MMC helps cultural institutions meet their audiences' demands without compromising standards of quality.
The best way to evaluate the needs of your community and their understanding of your organization is through audience research with people who are, or could be, your visitors and members. Questions related to community participation in competing leisure time activities, public perceptions of your organization, impact of your public relations and communications efforts, and barriers to visitation can be answered by using research methods such as focus groups, visitor surveys, intercept interviews, and telephone or on-line surveys. MMC analyzes the findings and recommends best practices for building target audiences.
MMC often undertakes visitor and marketplace research projects in conjunction with the development of Strategic Plans, Visitor Experience Plans, and Marketing Plans.
Evaluation enables you to measure the impact of your organization's visitor experience, including exhibitions, performances, education programs, and other services. For example, you may want to undertake an evaluation of an exhibition or performance while it is being developed to ensure that the content and delivery methods will appeal to and be understood by a variety of audiences. As another example, you may be interested in evaluating the impact of your school programs, including their relevance to teachers' in-class instruction and your state's curriculum standards. Findings from these types of evaluations will not only help you to improve your offerings, but will also provide evidence of program impact that can be used when seeking funding from potential donors.
When MMC conducts an evaluation, we work closely with you to clarify your information needs and evaluation objectives. We use qualitative and quantitative research methods to gather information. We analyze this data and examine the implications for your organization.
MMC strives to leave every client with an improved capacity to continue evaluating programs on an ongoing basis. To this end, we provide you with evaluation data collection instruments and procedural guidelines that your staff can use to supplement MMC evaluation findings.PK301 – with external XP8000 battery: 53 lumens (1 lb. total weight) = 53 lumen/lb.
The important point here, is that while we can now cite pocket projectors that claim 100 or even 200+ lumens, those models generally do not offer battery operation, or if they do, it’s going to be a hefty external battery pack. To get out 100+ lumens you need some sizeable batteries, and those batteries alone, are physically much larger than today’s pico projectors. I’d go as far as to say that the AC power supply for the LG, is probably 5-8 times the physical bulk of the smallest picos like the PK201. Going forward, we will need much smaller batteries than today with the same amount of juice, or we need to make the pico projectors far more efficient. Most likely we’ll need both.
While all of the picos can actually do a reasonable job on a sub-40 inch diagonal screen, in a dark room, there’s a long way to go, for example, before the typical pico can do a competent presentation in front of a half dozen folk. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t a lot of applications you can use one for, from gaming, to watching youtube and other movie type content, and viewing photos and documents.
I do, however believe that for this class of projectors, battery power is almost mandatory for success. Perhaps adding an inch to length and 1/2 inch to height would allow a big enough battery to get us to that 40 – 50 lumen range that I think most people would be fairly comfortable with for this class of product.
Last year in our report, I “asked for” a.5 to.75 pound projector that could run on batteries, with good functionality that could rival the (still current model) BenQ GP1 pocket projector’s brightness (click on link for the review). For this year we didn’t get there, but, the PK301 comes closest… It CAN run on batteries, but will do about 50 lumens on AC power. As I said, maybe next year we’ll see that 100 lumens on batteries?
Last year only one of the three pico projectors even had a control panel on the projector. My how things have changed. Of the five pico projectors this time around, 3 have what I’ll call full control panels. Those would be the Optoma PK301, the AAXA L1, 3M MP150. And, yes, the LG – a pocket projector does have a control panel, but then, those sized projectors pretty much always did have control panels, so no change there.
All of the pico projectors now have some sort of menu system. They vary significantly in features from just a handful, such as brightness and color saturation, to many. None however comes even remotely close to offering the choices of a regular portable business projector, or a home theater projector.
Of this year’s collection of Picos and Pockets, only the LG has a full sized remote control similar in size to that which comes with most business and home theater projectors.
Of the others, only the……………………………………… has a menu system.
Once again, only one out of the three we have reviewed so far has a remote control. Nice touch, and it offers full control of everything that can be controlled from the control panel. Is a remote critical? No, but it’s certainly a fun option for folks flipping through pictures, or even doing a presentation. As pico projectors add features, remote controls will become more common. Expect to see only “credit card” type remotes, as there’s little logic in having a remote control larger than the projector!Chapas, Durham named to ESPN district team
University junior split end Kris Durham and sophomore fullback Shaun Chapas have been named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District football team.
Chapas and Durham were named to the first team of District 3 in recent voting conducted by members of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). The results were announced by CoSIDA Thursday.
To be eligible for the Academic All-District and All-America teams, student-athletes must have a minimum grade point average of 3.2, be a starter or key reserve, and be at least a sophomore in class standing. There are eight district teams from around the country selected and then a second round of voting is conducted for the national winners. The Bulldog duo will now be on the national ballot. The national team will be announced Nov. 25.
Durham, who is a native of Calhoun majoring in middle school education, has appeared in seven games with three starts for the 14th-ranked Bulldogs. He has nine receptions for 154 yards including a 61-yard touchdown catch in the season-opening win
