Against the grain:
the woodcuts of Helen Frankenthaler
26 November 2005 – 5 February 2006
Against the grain events
This exhibition investigates the creative innovation and technical experimentation that lies behind the production of some of the 20th century's greatest achievements in woodcut.
Frankenthaler was a key figure in the New York art scene during the 1950s. She was a revolutionary artist who made a significant contribution to an artistic territory dominated by giants like Jackson Pollock and Willem De Kooning. Although painting was Frankenthaler's primary artistic passion, an obsession to push her creative limits led her to turn her attention to print media.

These prints and drawings, produced in the years around independence, show three ways in which Papua Nuginian artists responded to their contemporary world.

By David Brandt/The Associated Press
OXFORD — Ole Miss athletic director Ross Bjork is considering self-imposing penalties on the women's basketball program as the university cooperates with an NCAA investigation regarding "impermissible recruiting contacts and academic misconduct."
Head coach Adrian Wiggins and two assistants — Kenya Landers and Michael Landers — were fired on Saturday as a result of the university's findings. Bjork said Wiggins has been fired with cause, but will be paid his annual $250,000 state salary through the end of March.
"We have no findings at this time that coach Wiggins was involved in our violations, however ultimate responsibility lies with each head coach in all of our programs," Bjork said. "We discovered and determined more could have been done. The tough part about all this is Adrian Wiggins is a good man and we hope the best for him and his family as he moves forward."
Bjork said he hopes to name an interim head coach quickly. The season starts on Nov. 9 with a home game against Southeastern Louisiana.
Assistant coaches Brett Frank, Rebecca Kates-Taylor and Taja Edwards have been retained and will be considered for the interim position, but Bjork said he will also look at outside candidates.
The university has also declared that two women's basketball players — Kay Caples and Brandy Broome — are ineligible after failing to meet NCAA transfer eligibility standards.
Bjork said the current investigation began in September after the Southeastern Conference notified Ole Miss of potential allegations. He said the investigation is ongoing, so he couldn't get into details about the evidence the university found.
"It's (the SEC's) duty to notify us and it's our duty to follow up, so we launched a very quick and decisive investigation," Bjork said. "The more we uncovered, the more mounting evidence that was available to us. So we took the decisive action."
The 39-year-old Wiggins was hired in March after a successful seven-year tenure at Fresno State. The Bulldogs had advanced to five straight NCAA Tournaments and won a program-best 28 games last season.
Kenya and Michael Landers — who are married — came to Ole Miss after serving as the co-head coaches at Trinity Valley Community College in Athens, Texas. The pair led Trinity Valley to a national championship and a 36-0 record last season before accepting jobs in Oxford.

CAPITOLA -- The end has come for the Capitola Book Café.
The 34-year-old Mid-County bookstore announced Tuesday that it was closing its doors permanently at the end of February, after several years of declining revenues.
"We're just spent, in every sense of the word," said the Book Café's co-owner Wendy Mayer-Lochtefeld. "We really, really tried. We threw everything against the wall. But we were never able to find a permanent, game-changing solution. We were only able to find band-aids that bought us a bit more time."
Last June, the popular bookstore initiated a nonprofit model called Survive & Thrive, making public its ongoing struggle to compete in an environment that has been hard on all traditional "brick and mortar" booksellers. The Book Café slashed salaries, reduced hours, brought in nonbook items to sell and other cost-cutting managers. The Book Café's landlord, Ow Family Properties, worked with the staff to find a sustainable model to keep the business open. Mayer-Lochtefeld said that, in the end, nothing worked.
"The irony for (co-owner) Melinda (Powers) and me," she said, "is that, because of these struggles, we're better operators than we've ever been. We're leaner and meaner. We understand the business better. But we can't escape the debts and the losses we incurred when times were tough."
The current ownership group took the reins of the Book Café in 2007, just a year before the near collapse of the economy. Even without the recession, the book business in the past decade has undergone a well-publicized and painful period of turbulence, brought on by online innovations such as the e-book and Amazon.com.
"A lot of people have said to me that it must have e-books or the Kindle," said Mayer-Lochtefeld. "It really didn't come to that. Independent bookstores could have competed, I think, if it was just that. It really came down to Amazon having the most brutal business model in the world, which is to sell products at a loss for 20 years until customers just fell away. You can't stand up against that."
In its heyday, the Book Café was not just an inviting place to buy a book and a coffee. Much like its independent competitor Bookshop Santa Cruz, the Capitola Book Café held live events featuring authors talking about their work and signing books. During the course of its 30-plus-year history, the Book Café has both nurtured Monterey Bay writers and authors, and hosted some of the biggest names in late 20th century literature.
The large, general interest bookstore has been a stable business going back to the invention of the printing press. But, with the rise of Internet bookselling, that model, said Mayer-Lochtefeld, became unsustainable.
"New bookstores are opening all over the place," she said. "But if you look at them, you'll notice that they're very small -- less than 2,000 square feet usually -- or they're in an impeccable walk-up location, or they've learned to specialize. These days, you've got to give people a reason to get in their cars to come visit you. And if you have the check boxes of what it takes to make these days, we just didn't have them. We're a warm, wonderful, welcoming old-model bookstore, but we are in the bad-luck position of not having a lot of qualities of the new sustainable business in bookselling."
Tuesday, the Capitola Book Café welcomed a handful of donors and others for a private function. Mayer-Lochtefeld said that there has been some talk of a bigger public event before the business closes at the end of the month, but nothing has been planned yet. The bookstore is focused on liquidating current inventory.
"The best thing the community can do right now is to come to the bookstore like they have in our best days and walk away with an armful of books," she said.

Fell apart after 3 months
"These were not an inexpensive workout shoe option, but my husband loved his Minimus's so I bought the hers pair for my gym workouts. I used them 3-5 times a week for 40 minutes a workout, and after 3 months, the right shoe started ripping on both sides where the silver is connected to the shoe. This didn't happen at all with the left shoe though. They are very comfortable and worked well for my workouts; however, the durability is minimal. This is the least amount of time I've been able to use a workout shoe before needing another pair."

Bush Announces End of Gulf War Address on the End of the Gulf War (February 27, 1991) On this day in 1991, President George H.W. Bush delivered an address to a joint session of Congress announcing the end of the Gulf War. President Bush told the nation in his address: We must now begin to look beyond victory and war. We must meet the challenge of securing the peace. In the future, as before, we will consult with our coalition partners. We've already done a good deal of thinking and planning for the postwar period, and Secretary Baker has already begun to consult with our coalition partners on the region's challenges. There can be, and will be, no solely American answer to all these challenges. But we can assist and support the countries of the region and be a catalyst for peace. In this spirit, Secretary Baker will go to the region next week to begin a new round of consultations. Following the war, President Bush and his administrative team seized the opportunity to build upon the success of bringing together Arab countries that cooperated during the war to revive the Arab-Israeli peacemaking process. It was also a politically ripe moment as the president enjoyed unprecedented domestic popularity. For the next eight months, Secretary of State James Baker engaged in shuttle diplomacy, with efforts culminating in the 1991 Madrid Conference, during which Israel entered into direct, face-to-face negotiations with Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and the Palestinians for the first time. The Madrid Conference served as a catalyst for the 1994 peace treaty between Israel and Jordan, as well as for non-public talks between Israel and Palestinian Arabs in what became known as the Oslo peace process. The Bush administration's peace process efforts were interrupted by the 1992 elections. Although Bush was the strongest candidate among voters concerned with international issues in the general election campaign and although the president believed his record of foreign policy would be rewarded electorally, the campaign narrative focused instead on the economy, advantaging the Democratic candidate, William Clinton.

DJ to top charts
As touched upon in my preview of the Race To Dubai, finding the winner of the money list on either side of the Atlantic requires one to find a player capable of performing on the biggest stage.
- Related Content
But it must be noted that, prior to Rory McIlroy's success this year, Luke Donald and Matt Kuchar had topped the PGA Tour standings without winning either a WGC or a major title and neither did the their nearest pursuers.
That being said, a McIlroy-Tiger Woods one-two in 2012 spells danger for the rest, and given that they represent over 40 per cent of the book it's clear that they're expected to dominate the standings.
The question is, can we get them beaten? I think the answer is yes, and I say so primarily because of the major venues that lie in wait.
Merion Golf Club in Pennsylvania hosts the US Open and it's a venue than plays less than 7,000 yards and to a par of 70. That may suit Woods more so than in years gone by, but on paper at least it's a venue that won't play to the strengths of McIlroy.
The same can be said of Muirfield, host course for the 2013 Open Championship where Ernie Els will defend his title as a previous course winner. When he did that in 2002, Woods shot 81 in round three and finished 28th.
And Oak Hill Country Club, site of the PGA Championship, hardly holds positive memories for Woods, either. He was 39th there in 2003 when Shaun Micheel topped a leaderboard of short, straight hitters. Again, on paper this isn't a venue which works for Rory on paper.
This isn't for a second to say that neither Woods nor McIlroy can win at these courses, and of course we know they can score at Augusta. However, it does give us a solid platform from which to take them on because if they do fail to compete in the majors, they'll need to win consistently elsewhere to top the earnings charts.
The search for value elsewhere has to be limited to winners, as in the last five seasons only Kuchar has managed to place - he in fact topped the standings - with a solitary win on his record, and he did so with a sum of money which wouldn't ordinarily see a player hit the frame and indeed wouldn't have topped any PGA Tour Money List this side of 1998.
So, looking at the major venues and finding a player who can win twice or more leads me directly to Dustin Johnson, who has the talent to challenge the perceived Woods-McIlroy dominance.
With six PGA Tour wins on the CV - two of them in lucrative FedEx Cup Playoff events - and five top-10 finishes in majors, the next step in the career of Johnson is to win a WGC or a major, and I for one am convinced he's good enough to do so in 2013.
After all, he's the first player since Woods to go directly from college and win in each of his first five seasons on Tour, and despite being one of the biggest hitters around he's taken his game to a variety of tracks.
He's won in Illinois, California, New Jersey, Tennessee and New York, the latter where Oak Hill can be found, and he's done so on technical par 70s, par 71s and expansive par 72s too, which speaks to the quality of his all-round game and his ability to take it anywhere.
Three of his titles have come with a winning score of less than 10-under more, a fascinating fact considering how few events are won with such a score, and that bodes well for his chances of winning majors at courses like Merion and Oak Hill.
Indeed, Johnson has also finished in the top 10 on both his last visits to the Open Championship so he has the skills to challenge in all four majors. Furthermore, he's been second at Doral and has a solid record at Firestone, while 2012 saw him produce his best results yet in the WGC-Accenture World Match Play. He can win any one of these events.
Some suggest he's not consistent but that simply isn't true; Johnson missed just one cut in 2012 and it came in the US Open a week after he'd won the FedEx St. Jude Classic having previously been out with an injury.
DJ can also take heart from the fact that he was one of few Americans to produce the goods on the final day of the Ryder Cup and I really fancy him to have a huge 2013 now that he can start it free from injury.
In 2012 Johnson finished 19th despite having big fitness issues throughout the first six months of the season but having been fifth in 2011 and fourth in 2010 there's every reason to expect him to contend at a time when he should be nearing his peak.
Johnson is very much my strongest fancy and sifting through the rest isn't easy, but I can't for the life of me understand what Brandt Snedeker is doing at 50/1.
Snedeker finished third in the Money List standings this year and has now won three titles in just over 18 months, the most recent of which coming in the TOUR Championship, a victory which secured the FedEx Cup bonus and showed that he can compete at the very highest level.
This should come as no surprise, as Snedeker was the 2007 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year and followed that up with a share of third in the 2008 Masters to demonstrate that he had a massive future.
As one of the world's best putters and an excellent player of par-fives, a fine exponent of the wedge and a streaky scorer, all that's really been missing is the belief to contend and indeed win at the highest level, but the more he's put himself in the mix, the better he's handled the situation.
When he led the Open Championship at halfway in the summer very few of us expected him to hang on, but while we were right, surely it was that experience which enabled him to produce the goods in the TOUR Championship and make a very strong debut in the Ryder Cup.
His third-round 60 in the WGC-HSBC Champions was further proof that he is now comfortable at the top and having already finished in the top 20 of all four majors, his game can't be questioned.
What's more, his one weakness is a lack of length from the tee but that shouldn't be an issue at Merion, Oak Hill nor Muirfield, and his short game means he's obviously a contender at Augusta. Now he's a winner of the TOUR Championship, who's to say he can't add a major or a WGC to his collection?
There is a school of thought - one backed up by facts - that FedEx Cup winners can suffer a hangover the following year, but down-to-earth Snedeker is capable of coping with the extra expectation and there's just no way he's a 50/1 chance if he can continue what's been a steep upward curve of late.
Finally, I think Hunter Mahan has been written off all too quickly and he completes my three at 66/1.
Mahan's 2012 was very much a tale of two halves, with a pair of early-season wins including victory over McIlroy in the WGC-Accenture World Match Play final looking certain to secure his place on the Ryder Cup team, only for a late-season slump to see him narrowly miss out.
But a share of eighth in the TOUR Championship should serve as a reminder that Mahan is not to be ignored and he'll be eager to prove a point having been left out of Davis Love III's Medinah team.
Remember, he's a five-time PGA Tour winner and two of those victories have come in World Golf Championship events. He's got a total of 11 top-20 finishes in just 28 major starts and is developing a really solid record at Augusta and in the US Open, which means he could be right in the mix in the early part of the season just as he was earlier this year.
When he's on-song, I don't think there are many better ball-strikers on the planet than Mahan so it stands to reason that his game is one that can produce on any track, which helps to explain why he has such a solid major record.
Mahan's recent Money List record reads 15-10-16-9 and not much more is needed for him to take a further step forward and break into the top five, so at 66/1 chance this supremely talented player with a point to prove.

For many years, thousands of scientists and other technical people have stated that humans do not cause global warming. Nature does.
The official record of temperatures in the USA comes from a network of 1,221 climate-monitoring stations overseen by the National Weather Service. Anthony Watts, a 25-year broadcast meteorology veteran, recruited a team of more than 650 volunteers to visually inspect and photograph more than 860 of these stations. They were shocked to find that 89 percent of the stations failed to meet the requirement that stations must be 100 feet or more away from artificial heating, radiating, and reflecting heat sources.
Even worse, they found major gaps in the data record that were filled in with data from nearby sites. Their conclusion was that the U.S. temperature record is unreliable and should not be used to promote unsubstantiated global warming theories. Much more information is available at www.surfacestations.org.

NFL Draft Report
By Joe Buscaglia
LB Mychal Kendricks, California
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Feb 10 2012 3:31PM
Mychal Kendricks, #30
5'11", 237 lbs., 21 years old
Fresno, CA
2011: 105 tackles, 14 TFL, 2.5 sacks, 2 INT
2010: 65 tackles, 14.5 TFL, 7 sacks, INT
2009: 71 tackles, 6 TFL, 1 sack, INT, FF
2008: 15 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 sack
- An athletic, light on his feet style of linebacker with experience on the inside of a 3-4 defense.
- Above average change of direction skills, above average speed that gets him from sideline-to-sideline easily and great closing burst.
- Solid tackle, puts his head down and makes a lot of contact with the ball carrier. When he gets contact, the ball carrier isn't going anywhere.
- Instincts and recognition are very, very good. Doesn't take many false steps.
- Lacks the ideal height for the position.
- At times in his tackle attempts, a shifty runner can evade him because his head is down for the tackle and he'll miss completely.
- Once in to his pads, an offensive lineman can cancel him out. Struggles breaking off the block.
- Overruns the ball carrier occasionally.
Special Notes:
- Turns 22 in September.
- Named 2011 Pac-12 defensive player of the year
Projection: 2nd to 3rd round
- Mychal Kendricks is the most underrated linebacker in the 2012 NFL Draft in my opinion. He's best suited as a 3-4 ILB, or a weakside linebacker in a 4-3 where he's hidden and can just roam free to make plays. He will be a starter in the NFL. More polished than some of the more heralded weakside linebackers available.

Hi Kakashii! You could have done 3 things

3) Asked this question in the Ask a question thread.]
Good luck finding your answer and IN BEFORE GRAVEYARD

I don't think Kyuubi is a jutsu though......well I guess technically it is a technique but its more that he goes into a different mode.
If it is Kyuubi mode then that sucks, Jiraiya should of taught him something useful for once. Maybe its the shunshin jutsu...
A pie in the sky?
omg not this again....THSV WHERE ARE YOU.
This thread will get merged with the other "That jutsu threads"
we still dont know what "that jutsu" is ,, but i think its the death god seal
Finally we are know on chapter 466, If J was referring to this jutsu in chapter 251 I don't think kishi is going to wait and create suspense for over 200 chapters before he reveals that jutsu. Usually when a jutsu, character/theme is forshadowed its because we are going to be introduced to that jutsu within the next few chapters, Not the next few 100 chapters.
But there is some evidence to the contrary which I wanna point out. The translator used the exact words "that jutsu" which were also the same words used for Sasuke's kirin and then revealed a hundred chapters later during the Sasuke/Itachi fight. Both Naruto & Sasuke had learned a "that jutsu" over the course of the 3 years. Also Jiraiya mentioned to the scroll frog something specifically about Naruto's training & "that jutsu." And it's been 200 chapters/4 years for us but in the manga timeline it's only been less than 6 months since Jiraiya/Naruto came back, & Naruto hasn't really gotten a chance to train his kyubi again cause of his fear of accidentally hurting his friends. I think "that jutsu" does exist, but isn't yet completed/perfected, and it'll be done when the scroll toad finally gets back to Naruto to have a talk with him, & kyubi Sage mode is going to be vital to "that jutsu." Who knows, maybe it's a kyubi powered hiraishin and it's so fuckin powerful, Naruto is traveling so fast, he tears the fabric of space/time creating mini blackholes thus he needs Sage mode to control the natural energy around him to hold the space/time fabric together.

John Swallow who is a candidate for the third congressional district house seat has been in Emery County talking and visiting with the county people. Swallow visited with Republican supporters at the courthouse on Sept. 3 and attended the Peach Days celebration on Sept. 7 in Ferron.
Swallow said, "I'm just a regular guy who grew up in rural Utah, when I lived in St. George there were only 15,000 people in the whole county. We moved while I was a teenager to an alfalfa farm in Spring Valley, Nev. where I attended high school in Ely and we attended church in Garrison, Utah. I grew up on the farm bucking bales and moving sprinklers. My grandfather is still farming the 600 acre farm with some help. I learned responsibility from a young age. I served a two year mission in Los Angeles, Calif., Spanish speaking. I graduated from Brigham Young University in 1987 and obtained my law degree in 1990.
"One time I sunk the hay wagon in mud up to the axle and it was loaded with hay. It was the middle of the night and I went back and woke up my dad and told him what happened and he said, 'I'm sure you'll figure out a way to get it out.' So I unloaded every bale of hay and found a way to pull it out.
"I understand rural issues and am committed to the economic issues of rural Utah. I believe natural resources such as coal, timber and natural gas can be accessed and used responsibly while striking a balance to keep areas pristine and pure. I stand for dual use of public lands and want to help local economies to open up and get back to where we need to be. Local business people provide valuable resources.
"I am also interested in highway issues and want to serve on the resource and transportation commissions in Congress. We also need to invest in water development and continued use of water for agricultural purposes. This is an important seat to Congress and we need conservative leadership. George Miller from California is a ranking democrat and wants to drain Lake Powell, he also wants nine million acres of wilderness. We only have a five member Republican majority right now.
"My vision for rural Utah is to educate them here and keep them here. I am strong on tax issues and would have supported the Bush initiative to remove the death tax. On national security issues I would fight to secure a strong military to keep our nation as safe as possible. I want to keep our second amendment freedoms strong, I felt strongly about this issue while serving in the state legislature. America is in crisis, I will fight for a conservative agenda with smaller government and personal responsibility. The people in Utah can find a way to solve our problems.
"I feel very strongly about education. We are losing good teachers because they can't afford to be in education. I support the Apple Initiative. The federal government owns 53 percent of the lands west of the Mississippi and 68 percent of the lands in Utah and we do not receive just compensation for these lands. The state can't use those lands and they lose taxes on them. PILT payments do not make up for the taxes lost. Our state expends the smallest per pupil expenditures in the nation.
"I am stressing American family values, integrity and hard work. I am against partial birth abortions. I will be responsible and work hard to solve the problems and challenges in Utah," said Swallow.

On June July 20th, 1969, more than five hundred million people witnessed a monumental scientific achievement in the most viewed television event of its day. With the fortieth anniversary of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's first steps on the moon coming up this month, we're reminded of science's ability to inspire us as well as human innovation and creativity's capacity to advance our kind.
Since the invention of language, people have romanticized and marveled at the soft glowing orb that passes us by nightly. Whether it was worshipping it as a God or promising it to a loved one, the moon has always fascinated humanity - Hollywood is no different.
From George Melies' early silent film A Trip to the Moon, to Duncan Jones' Moon, there will always be compelling story to tell in moon adventures. Just as JFK captured our imagination with the promise that a man would walk on the moon in 1961, so does Hollywood today as it postulates on the future, dreaming of colonies and space stations. And if history is any measure, the science fiction films we see today will inspire technical innovation and new technologies in future generations.
[CORRECTION: The moon landing occurred on July 20th, 1969, not June 20th. Thanks to steven for catching that.]

Author of Ed Engoron's Choclatique, Running Press, 2011
The research keeps coming in and getting better on the health benefits of dark chocolate. Researchers in Australia collected data over 2,000 people who had metabolic syndrome—which is a cluster of medical issues that includes high blood pressure, a large waist and low levels of "good" cholesterol—and used mathematical equations to predict how eating a dose of dark chocolate daily could affect the number of strokes and heart attacks the group would be expected to have. And they found that eating dark chocolate every day may lower the risk of having a heart attack or stroke for people at higher risk of these conditions.
Based on their results, the researchers calculated that for every 10,000 people with metabolic syndrome who ate 3.5 ounces (100g) of dark chocolate every day for 10 years, 70 non-fatal and 15 fatal cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks or strokes, could be prevented.
In the past studies have shown that the risk of cardiovascular disease can be lowered over the short-term by eating compounds called flavonoids, which are abundant in dark chocolate. Flavonoids are known to have antihypertensive and anti-inflammatory effects, which relieve pressures on the heart.
The new study suggests that eating dark chocolate is a cost-efficient way to reduce the number of heart attacks and strokes. The researchers noted that the study only looked at strokes and heart attacks, so how dark chocolate might affect the risks of other cardiovascular diseases, such as heart failure, must still be assessed.
The study was published on May 31st 2001 in the British Medical Journal, and was funded by the Australian Research Council and the drug company Sanofi-Aventis Australia.
ChefSecret: Let people with higher risk of heart attack or stroke know that adding dark chocolate, like Choclatique Q-91, to their daily diet may reduce health-related risks.

Nobel Prize-Winning Polish Poet Wislawa Szymborska Dead at 88
Wislawa Szymborska, the 1996 winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, died Wednesday at her home in Krakow, Poland, from lung cancer. She published fewer than 400 poems in her lifetime and was known as a recluse despite being Poland's most famous poet. Her verse was loved for its simplicity and sense of humor and often used everyday objects such as a cat or an onion "to reflect on grand topics such as love, death and passing time."
She was only the ninth woman to win the literary honor and, true to her self-deprecating personality, used her Nobel lecture to reflect on the difficulty of making interesting movies about writers:
Films about painters can be spectacular, as they go about recreating every stage of a famous painting's evolution, from the first penciled line to the final brush-stroke. Music swells in films about composers: the first bars of the melody that rings in the musician's ears finally emerge as a mature work in symphonic form. Of course this is all quite naive and doesn't explain the strange mental state popularly known as inspiration, but at least there's something to look at and listen to.
But poets are the worst. Their work is hopelessly unphotogenic. Someone sits at a table or lies on a sofa while staring motionless at a wall or ceiling. Once in a while this person writes down seven lines only to cross out one of them fifteen minutes later, and then another hour passes, during which nothing happens ... Who could stand to watch this kind of thing?

Grant writing | community foundations
Get funding.
Resources and services for
The process of "getting a grant" or "writing a grant proposal" can sound mysterious, like an old family recipe with secret ingredients. For over 40 years The Grantsmanship Center has been helping people de-mystify this process and to understand that like a recipe, creating a compelling proposal simply requires common ingredients put together in a logical and understandable sequence using tried and true techniques.
First, let's talk about what a grant is and is not. In most cases a grant is support that does not need to be repaid. Usually it is in the form of money, but it may be technical assistance or training. Grants are usually awarded after the submission of a written proposal. So, the "grant" is the funding or other assistance that is received as a result of a grant proposal (also referred to as an application). A grant is not the written document that we submit to a potential funding source!
Each funder sets its own eligibility criteria for grant applicants, and eligible applicants are typically nonprofit organizations or public agencies. Nonprofits are often required to be 501(c)(3) organizations under the IRS. Here's a link to IRS information on nonprofits: http://www.irs.gov/Charities-&-Non-Profits/Charitable-Organizations/Exemption-Requirements-Section-501%28c%29%283%29-Organizations. Grants to for-profit entities or to private individuals do exist; however, they are far less common.
Each funder will also have its own application process and the degree of detail required will vary. Here, we'll talk about the basic recipe for a grant proposal, understanding that some funders may require extra or different information—special ingredients.
Let's take a look at the basic ingredients required in a typical proposal, and how to include them.
Once you understand your organization's mission and priorities, you're ready to begin identifying funders that might be a good fit.
Let's start with a few key points:
1. There are no shortcuts to finding the right funding source. Nothing can replace thorough research.
2. Look beyond the obvious funders to find a wider group of prospects.
3. Grantmakers can change interest areas, application processes, and staff. Always get the most up-to-date information.
4. Get strong community support before seeking funding outside your community. Local support can build a potential funder's confidence in your organization.
5. Grantmakers receive tons of requests for funding. Don't waste their time – or yours – with requests that don't align with their interests.
Your task is to identify all potential funders whose interests align with your organization's mission, priorities, and program plans. Sometimes you'll focus your search on grantmakers for a specific program. That's fine. But to build a grant funding program that will be most productive over time, it's best to explore the entire universe of grantmakers to find those that are the best fit for your organization.
Don't approach this task in a hit-or-miss manner. Lots of internet sites provide lists of foundations and announcements of upcoming foundation or government funding opportunities, and you may run across some promising opportunities there. But browsing free sites and responding to list-serve announcements puts you in a disorganized, reactive position that won't produce the best results. Learn about the serious research tools available then use them in a well-considered, strategic way to find appropriate funders.
There are two general types of grant funders: government and private.
Everyone is elated! All the planning and research paid off and your organization has been awarded its first grant. Whether it's a $500,000 grant from the US government or a $10,000 grant from a private foundation, now's the time to lay essential groundwork to ensure grant funds will be spent and accounted for as required and that program obligations will be met. Welcome to the world of grants management.
As you might imagine, government grants come with more red tape than foundation or corporate grants. For government grants, your top executive officer or board chairperson must usually sign and return documents accepting the grant award and agreeing to reporting and fund draw-down requirements, as well as any other special requirements that have been attached to the funding. This is strictly a business transaction—there's no need to send along a warm letter of appreciation. Be sure to return paperwork by the required deadline.
Corporations and foundations sometimes require that officers sign a letter accepting the grant award, but often they don't—a check simply arrives in the mail with a letter of congratulations laying out the expected reporting requirements. If you're expected to return a signed acceptance document, do so promptly and be sure to include a letter expressing appreciation, acknowledging any reporting requirements, and inviting the funder for a visit. While this is a business transaction, it's also a starting point for building an ongoing relationship of trust, commitment, and support.
Establish both an electronic and hard-copy file for each grant your organization receives. Since so much business done electronically, be sure that e-documents and emails are organized for easy access–and be sure electronic documents are backed-up in case of a failure in technology.
Place copies of signed grant documents in a hard-copy file, and keep the file updated with subsequent correspondence related to the grant. When an e-document is of particular importance, print it out and file it here as well.

The Phillies' No. 5 prospect struck out eight over seven three-hit innings Friday as the Class A BlueClaws blanked the Greenville Drive, 4-0.
Biddle (5-6) retired 11 straight batters around two walks in the early innings. Felix Sanchez's one-out double in the sixth ended his no-hit bid.
"I didn't realize I had a no-hitter until my third baseman [Travis Mattair] came in and told me he was sorry he didn't make the play," he said. "He was frustrated."
Biddle placed the blame on himself. Catcher Cameron Rupp had called for a fastball, but he shook off his batterymate and threw a changeup. Sanchez smacked a high, soft one.
Two of the first three batters Biddle faced in the seventh -- Drew Hedman and Henry Ramos -- mashed singles. But the 19-year-old fanned Xander Bogaerts, one of his eight strikeout victims, before manager Chris Truby emerged from the dugout.
"Normally, when your manager comes out, he's going to take you out," Biddle said. "I said, 'Look, I just struck out a guy with runners on first and second. I am going to finish it. He said, 'What are you going to do?' I said, 'I'm going to strike 'em out.'
"Unfortunately," he joked, "I got him to ground out."
It's easy to understand why. After the mound visit in his final frame, Biddle's fastball registered 97 mph on the radar gun at Fluor Field.
"That stadium gun tends to juice up some of 'em," he said. "I'm just happy to get my fastball by guys."
With 94 strikeouts over 95 2/3 innings, Biddle ranks third in the South Atlantic League. A secondary pitch was responsible for his most recent run of Ks.
"My curveball with two strikes, I was throwing it in the dirt and they were biting at it," he explained. "That's the best my curve has been this season."
The Phillies' 2010 first-round pick matched his longest outing of the season; he allowed a run on four hits over seven innings against Delmarva on May 29.
Biddle has been on a roll, allowing only five runs over 34 2/3 innings in his last six starts to lower his ERA from 4.13 to 3.10. All this after beginning the year with a four-game losing streak.
"I was not ready for the beginning of season," he admitted. "My routine in between starts wasn't very good. I also changed a couple of little things mechanically."
The biggest change was a mental one: Taking the pressure off.
"I was 0-5 with like a 7.00 ERA," Biddle said, exaggerating slightly, "and I was just confused. [Pitching better in mid-May] really gave me the confidence I needed."
Greenville's Scott Swinson silenced the BlueClaws for five innings, but reliever Tyler Wilson (2-2) gave up four runs over the next three frames and picked up the loss.
Mattair plated three of those runs with a single in the sixth and his second homer in the eighth. Both brought home Edgar Duran.

Enforcement Without Foundation? - Insider Trading and China's Administrative Law Crisis
Nicholas Calcina Howson
University of Michigan Law School
October 9, 2012
American Journal of Comparative Law, Vol. 60, No. 4, 955-1002
China's securities regulator enforces insider trading prohibitions pursuant to non-legal and non-regulatory internal "guidance". Reported agency decisions indicate that enforcement against insider trading is often possible only pursuant to this guidance, as the behavior identified is far outside of the scope of insider trading liability provided for in statute or regulation.
I argue that the agency guidance is itself unlawful and unenforceable, because: (i) the guidance is not the regulatory norm required by the statutory delegation of power; and (ii) the guidance is ultra vires because (a) it addresses something substantively different from what is authorized under the statutory delegation, and (b) because the guidance radically transforms the underlying basis for the breach of insider trading under Chinese law -- from a modified "classical"/fiduciary duty plus misappropriation theory to an extremely robust "equal access"/mere possession of inside information theory.
I then outline potential Chinese law challenges to the norms and their enforcement, and analyze why there is such marked tolerance for plainly illegal rule-making and enforcement by one of China's best administrative agencies.
The identified infirmity underlying the basis for well-governed and investor-attracting capital markets has implications not only for China's securities regulation regime and healthy market development, but also for the entirety of China's legal and administrative law system in the reform era.

|In response to Re: How dangerous are sewer fumes?
: We recently had a terrible smell of rotten broccoli/cabbage/etc. fill our entire house (700 sq feet rural rental). At first we thought it was the trash and we cleaned out under the sink and the smell seemed to subside. The temp dropped and every night it would start up again - gagging, strong smell of rot coming from the kitchen sink area. I could not even be in the kitchen, I had to tie a hankerchief around my face. We called our landlords because we were unable to locate the problem. They found a break in the cleanout pipe and said sewer fumes were leaking out. They didn't tell us what they did to fix it, but I think they applied ABS glue. I can still smell some icky faint smell under the sink, but thought maybe it's residual and needs to air out?
: I am not sure how long we were exposed to this but I remember that ever since we moved in here a year ago I have smelled a faint yucky smell under the sink. I need to know what the gases are that were being emitted because I am two months pregnant and I have been extrememly fatigued and nauseas and low appetite, all things you would attribute to pregnancy. However, as soon as the pipe was fixed, I woke up the next morning and had no nausea, I had energy, I had an appetite...and it has been that way ever since, making me wonder if I was not depleted of oxygen. Addionally my daughter is now sick with congestion that started with hoarse voice with mucos and croup like cough. No one else is sick like that around her and she is not in school. I have done some online research and found that hydrogen sulfide can cause all these symptoms that we both were experiencing. I need to tell my doctor but I am unsure what exactly I was exposed to.
: Can anyone help?
: Thank you so much! Katherine

Box 381, Utica,
Canyons, streams, praire and forest combine to delight visitors

The manu unusual and beautiful rock formations make a trio to
Matthiessen State park an educational as well as a fun experience.
Exposed sandstone can be seen throughout. The main canyon, consisting
of the Upper and Lower Dells, provides an unusual and interesting
walking tour. The Upper Dells begins at Deer Park Lake and continues
to Cascade Falls where the canyon drops 45 feet and the Lower
Dells begins. The water formed by eerosion, is approximately one
mile lone, from Deer Park Lake to the Vermillion River. Visitors
may observe ground eater seeping out along the sandstone of the
canyon walls. As the ground water evaporates along the canyon
walls, the minerals that are carried in solution in the water
contribute to the beautiful coloring of the rocks.
The park has several mineral springs which were a popular spot
for the large deer population who used it as a salt lick.
The park has seven miles of well-marked, well-surfaced hiking
trais for a relaxing walk or a vigourous hike. The Dells area
of the park provides a perfect setting for picnics and an aafternoon
