Feel free to add suggestions to our list of projects
See our list of participants. If you would like to attend and don't need any funding, please fill out this form: this form.
We anticipate that most participants will stay in these dorms, which have air conditioned rooms, private bathrooms and common spaces for work and socializing in the evenings. Participants who are not funded by the conference may stay in the dorms and will pay for the total price of their accommodation by check. Please contact an organizer for more details.
- Check in is Sunday July 16 at 4pm and check out is Sunday July 23 at 11am; if you arrive outside of normal business hours, please go to University Heights North front desk and call (802) 656-5550. The employee on duty will come and help you check in. Participants may check in and out anytime between the times posted.
- Each dorms room will contain a bed, a dresser, a wardrobe, a desk, a desk chair, a trash can and a recycling bin as well as the following linens: two flat sheets, one blanket, one pillow, one pillowcase, two towels, one washcloth, one plastic cup and one bar of soap. The room will not have an alarm clock or a desk lamp. If you tend to run cold at night, you might want to bring a second blanket.
- The rooms have ethernet jacks but no cables; if you would like to use a wired internet connection please bring your own ethernet cable.
- Refrigerators will be available for participants in a common room. If you require a refrigerator in your room, please let an organizer know; this can be arranged with enough notice.
- Parking permits will be provided free of charge to dorm residents. If you require a parking permit, please let an organizer know. Please watch for a parking map to be posted closer to the start of the workshop.
- We will pay the cost of the dorm room directly for all funded participants.
If you prefer to stay in a hotel and we're funding your lodging, please contact the organizers (we can allocate your lodging amount toward a hotel with enough advance notice). Options include the Hilton Garden Inn Burlington and the Sheraton Burlington Hotel. The Sheraton is not downtown but it is closer to the location of the conference.
If you still need suggestions on travel arrangements, look here.
Montreal -> Vermont:
- Gonzalo Tornaría: my flight lands on sunday at 14:15 (AA from Miami), not sure I can make it to the 16:15 bus (probably not). Are there no services between 16:15 and 23:30?
- Marc M.: my flight arrives too late for the afternoon bus. Would be interested in carpooling after 5pm on Sunday (7/16) or early morning on Monday (7/17).
- JP Flori: Same situation for me (landing from Paris (France) at 3:00pm). I was thinking of taking the 11pm bus, arriving at Burlington (airport... we could share a taxi from there) around 2am. It should be possible to check in at that time according to David. It might be easier to take the monday morning 8:15am bus, arriving at Burlington (transit center, downtown!) before 11am. (Note from Christelle: The transit center downtown is 1.5 miles (2.5km) from University Heights and the airport is 2.5 miles (4km) from University Heights. Depending how much luggage you have, you might need a cab from either location.)
Vermont -> Montreal:
- Marc M.: Greyhound tickets appear to be sold out on Saturday (7/22). I'd like to get to Montreal airport before 7pm (I have a flight at 8.50pm). (Update: they appear as sold out on greyhound.ca, but they are available at greyhound.com --go figure!--).
- JP Flori: I plan to take the 12:10pm bus (to montreal main bus station) which still seem available, like any other bus on that day.
- Gonzalo Tornaría: I'm going to Montreal on saturday, staying there for the MCA.
Instructions for reimbursements will be given on the first day of the conference. If you are not a US citizen or green card holder, please bring your passport and any visa paperwork you have (I-94, visa stamps, etc.) so that we can make scans while you are here.
Internet on campus
The University of Vermont offers eduroam on campus. To access the network at UVM, please take a few minutes to set up your laptop before traveling, while you are on your home university campus. If you do not have eduroam, please contact Christelle Vincent to receive a guest log in for UVM's network.
The k8s server
William has kindly provided a server for us to use during the workshop, with 48 CPUs and 256 GB of RAM. It is running CoCalc, so you can access it from your browser.
Creating an Account
You should create an account here. You will need a secret token, which has been e-mailed to participants (ask someone if you can't find it). Once you have an account, someone will have to add you to the Sage Days 87 project; anyone who is already part of the project can do so from the project settings page. At that point, you will be able to access the server at k8s.sagemath.org.
If you will be doing Sage development, you need to set up a terminal that knows who you are (since we're all using the same user when we log in from the browser). This way we will be able to share Sage installations on the server. To set this up, open up a terminal (~/Terms/Admin.term exists for this purpose) and run the script ~/Terms/setup_gitterm.py. This will ask you some questions (name, e-mail, trac account info) and create a terminal for you (~/Terms/$TRAC_USERNAME_git.term). It will also create an ssh key specific to you that you should upload to trac. If you're ever interacting with git, you should use this terminal (or the ssh method described below). In particular, please don't set the git configuration on any of the Sage installations.
Note that by default, it will store your trac password in plain text in a file on the server. If you don't want it to, just answer "No" to the "store trac password" question, and you'll be asked for it at the beginning of each ssh session.
Once you add the public key from your laptop (generated by ssh-keygen and then copied from ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub for example) to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys in the browser, you will be able to SSH into the project using the following command.
ssh [email protected] -p 2222 -t .roed
where roed should be replaced by your trac username (if you haven't run setup_gitterm.py, you can just leave off the -t .roed altogether).
Sage installations
You can create a new Sage installation within a couple minutes as follows (replace BLAH with the name of your installation, e.g. your trac username):
cd ~/Src/ ./new_sage BLAH
Now sage-BLAH is available for you to work on a ticket. If you think you'll be doing a lot of development, feel free to create your own installation (labeled with your trac username); if you're less experienced you might share one as part of a group.
Building and Large output
Avoid sending huge amounts of output in a terminal, as this slows the whole project down for everybody (proper output truncation isn't sufficiently implemented).
Instead, please do
./new_sage -b > output
rather than just sending a large amount of output to your terminal. You can check on output by typing
tail output
Alternatively, if you know tmux, do control+b, then c to make a new session, and leave the large-output session in a different session. You can switch back and forth with control+b then n.
Jupyter notebooks
[edited by William Stein]
Our custom Sages ARE available from Jupyter notebooks. Just make a copy of ~/.local/share/jupyter/kernels/sageroed (next to it) and edit kernel.json to point to your install. See https://github.com/sagemathinc/cocalc/issues/2201
The current CoCalc terminal implementation has some bugs with resizing inserting strange control characters. The fix is to type tmux after you've opened and logged into your personal terminal, or to just use SSH.
Local dining options
We will add more details as the workshop approaches, but for now check out the map Christelle made!
To prepare for the workshop
On the first day of the workshop, Mckenzie West will lead some activities to help novices get oriented with Sage. Stay tuned for more details. Before the workshop, we recommend downloading and installing the latest version of the source code of Sage, opening a Sage trac account and completing the Code Academy modules on Python and Git.
If you have never done any LMFDB development work and might want to start -- a workshop is by far the best place to get started. A starting point is have a recent installation of Sage on your own laptop, on top of which you can run the LMFDB website software with a little setting up. Here is how to do it: https://github.com/LMFDB/lmfdb/blob/master/GettingStarted.md
For this workshop, we have dedicated server for readonly purposes that simplifies some of the steps. If you add to your LMFDB directory a file called mongoclient.config with the following content:
[db] port = 27017 host = readonly.lmfdb.xyz
- then you can run the LMFDB as usual by doing:
sage -python start-lmfdb.py --debug

Alabama coach Nick Saban's luxurious $10.95M lake home is up for sale, according to a story on tigerdroppings.com.
The site says the home is on Lake Burton near Georgia's Appalachian Mountains. According to the story it includes...
"The home features more than 10,000 square feet of living space, six bedrooms, nine baths, a massive grand room with a twenty-four-foot vaulted ceiling, a wine cellar with antique gate from Barcelona, European-style custom built pub, billiards room, home office, custom formal and professional kitchens, staff quarters, and four-car garage. A custom boat house with viewing deck -- prized by Lake Burton residents as architectural features of their property -- sits along the water's edge along with a swimming dock."
The story describes it as Saban's vacation home, but a story on ibleedcrimsonred.com says it's an investment property owned by Saban.
Realtor Julie Barnett confirmed that the home is an investment and described it as "probably the best lot on the lake."
Although the property for sale wasn't personally used by Saban, Barnett said the coach does own a vacation home on the lake.
"His personal home is also another great lot on the lake. He's excellent at picking out the best locations," she said.
For the full stories, see tigerdroppings.com and ibleedcrimsonred.com.
Press-Register Online Editor Bernell Dorrough contributed to this report.
Updated at 10:40 a.m. to note the property is an investment property owned by Nick Saban, not his personal vacation home.
Updated at 4:35 p.m. to add information from Realtor Julie Barnett.

Why do we charge to travel? Why it is accepting added important that we, already in a while, change our ambiance and biking alfresco our country? Why it is sometimes a call for our affecting bloom to travel?
Travel's accent is underestimated by abounding people. Biking is not alone fun, absorbing and enjoyable. With our accepted lifestyles and plan conditions, biking has become added than an option.

Humans biking for altered reasons. Some biking for fun and to accept a acceptable time. Others biking as a hobby. Biking can be an escape abroad from the animated clip of activity in big cities. Some biking just to change and move, as Robert Louis Stevenson said "I biking not to go anywhere, but to go. I biking for travel's sake". Some humans like to apprentice from altered cultures, as Mark Twain said " Biking is baleful to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness." Biking gives the being the befalling to discover, to analyze and to feel the faculty of adventure.
Many humans about the apple are advertent the allowances of biking to the admeasurement that the tourism industry is growing common and has become one of the above assisting sectors in apple economies. No admiration that biking is growing year by year. According to abstracts appear by the Apple Biking & Tourism Council WTTC, apple tourism industry grew by 3% in 2012, and contributed $6.6 abundance to apple GDP by absolute and aberrant impact. In 2012, for the aboriginal time in history, all-embracing day-tripper arrivals accomplished 1.035 billion.

Accent abatement is a above acumen for travel. The moment you anticipate you are branch for Hawaii or Bali, you get actual awareness of action and stress-free feelings. It is this brainy accord that makes biking a actual acceptable stress-relief. Sometimes biking can be demanding if your cruise has a lot of sightseeing, or affair a lot of people.

We were shocked to hear last week that rough-sleeping in Brighton and Hove leapt 84% between 2015 and 2016, making it the local authority with the second highest levels of rough sleeping the country, after Westminster.
The average monthly rent for a room in the city stands at £831 – way beyond the reach of many. Youth homelessness is a particular issue and, if left unsupported, people who experience homelessness at a young age are at great risk of becoming homeless and developing complex problems in later life. The Clocktower Sanctuary is the only day centre for homeless 16-25 year-olds in the city and it provides a safety net for these vulnerable young people. Sussex Community Foundation has been supporting the charity since 2008 with 14 grants, totalling over £166,000. One of those – from our Cullum Family Fund for £4,000 - was to support the charity's Move On project.
"The Move On support project offers young people the opportunity to develop skills, progress towards their goals and build networks of support through which they can achieve employment and/or sustain accommodation," says Natalia Borg, Development Coordinator. "Due to the unstable nature of homeless young people's lives and the complexity of their needs, this client group is notoriously difficult to engage. By developing our services, young people are now more supported along each step towards independent living and employment. Essentially, we are working with young people in a more meaningful and deeper way because of the grant." The funding helped The Sanctuary to take an individual on a journey of engagement from initial activities at the day centre, such as yoga, music and cookery classes, through accredited life skills qualifications including CV writing and job interview skills, to targeted one-to-one support to achieve training, education and employment.
One person to benefit was James, now 26. After having to sleep on the streets in his teens following a family breakdown, The Sanctuary helped James secure supported accommodation. Despite being motivated to work, he struggled to maintain voluntary positions. "I felt I couldn't tell the manager about what was going on in my head. I would get really anxious and stop turning up." Recognising his potential, The Sanctuary offered James one day a week work experience at the day centre, supported by his volunteer mentor, Kirstie. "Kirstie and I get on really well. She has helped me with so much and built up my confidence. After being homeless, I really want to have a career helping people with housing. I know how horrible it is being homeless. Kirstie has helped me deal better with my anxiety and the importance of not being late. As a direct result of my volunteering at The Sanctuary, I've just been accepted on an internship at Brighton Housing Trust – I'm so excited and can't wait to start!"
The next deadline for charities and community groups to apply to Sussex Community Foundation is Friday 5th May, 5pm. For information, visit www.sussexgiving.org.uk/apply

Death and Taxes
Benjamin Franklin, in 1789, wrote a letter to Jean-Baptiste Leroy where he said,
"Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes."
Cemeteries dealing with death is as certain as you and I dealing with taxes. The frequency of new burials varies from cemetery to cemetery. Some cemeteries might have a new burial every few months, while others have several each day. A good records management system will help a cemetery keep track of the burials—grave location, grave availability, and important information about the occupant. A good system provides a convenient platform for the management and accessibility of cemetery records.
Most people are either unaware or unaffected by how a cemetery manages its records or how accessible it makes them. At least one group is very interested in the accessibility of cemetery records—genealogists. Death records play a key role in genealogy research. Death records allow researchers to identify ancestors and document their lives.
Names In Stone has a special tie to an ever growing number of cemeteries. These cemeteries use software called Spatial GENERATIONS, which helps them manage their maps and death records. When one of these cemeteries adds or modifies a death record, changes are sent to Names In Stone—a central repository for burial maps and records. Genealogists and other visitors to Names In Stone benefit from this process because they have access to current death records or modified death records, as provided by the originating source – cemeteries. These additions or changes to death records are common. The following are examples of what Names In Stone typically receives from some cemeteries:
- 200 death record updates per week from Salt Lake City Cemetery.
- 1,500 new grave related documents per year from Uintah County Cemeteries.
- 370 new grave related documents and 1,200 new grave or death record modifications per year from the Bountiful City Cemetery.
Names In Stone is unique. Most cemetery websites provide static information. When a new burial is added or a correction made to a death record, the typical cemetery website is not designed to show these changes. Names In Stone is different. Anytime a cemetery using Spatial GENERATIONS updates a death record, they can quickly send it to Names In Stone.
Along with the certainty of death and taxes, one can be sure that the death records found on Names In Stone are as current and accurate as the cemetery chooses and provides information you won't find anywhere else.

Lawyers for imprisoned U.S. Army Pfc. Bradley Manning plan to call up to 50 witnesses at a pretrial military hearing next month that is expected to air much of the government's evidence for charges that Manning illegally provided hundreds of thousands of classified documents to the WikiLeaks website.
The preliminary hearing, scheduled to begin Dec. 16 at Fort Meade, Md., will mark Manning's first appearance in a courtroom since he was arrested in Iraq in May 2010. The hearing could last up to five days.
If allowed to testify, some defense witnesses would speak to the role that government whistle blowers have played to expose wrongdoing, Jeff Paterson, one of the organizers of the Bradley Manning Support Network, told reporters on a conference call Tuesday. He said other witnesses would scrutinize the government's use of computer forensics to collect evidence against Manning.
Manning's supporters plan to protest outside the hearing. They will use some of the nearly $392,396 raised for his defense fund to pay for protest signs, newspaper ads and other publicity, as well as travel costs for Manning's family, Paterson said. Manning's legal fees have totaled $122,000, according to the website couragetoresist.org, which tallies donations to his defense fund.
Manning is accused of illegally copying classified military documents and diplomatic cables from a secret military computer network, and providing them to WikiLeaks. The website, founded by Julian Assange, made the documents public in 2010 and 2011.
Manning faces more than two dozen charges, including transmitting defense information in violation of the Espionage Act, and "wrongfully causing intelligence to be published on the Internet." He faces a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted in a court-martial.
During the pretrial hearing, called an Article 32 hearing in the military justice system, Manning's defense attorneys are entitled to call witnesses and to cross examine prosecution witnesses.
The purpose of the hearing is to "evaluate the relative strengths and weaknesses of the government's case," Manning's defense attorney, David Coombs, wrote on his blog. He did not return calls for comment.
Manning's supporters consider him a whistle blower who exposed illegal actions by the U.S. military, including targeting civilians and handing detainees to Iraqi forces with the knowledge they may be tortured.
"Bradley Manning, if he is found to have been the source of this, he will have our gratitude. He will have my admiration. He is a hero," Daniel Ellsberg, the former defense analyst who leaked a top secret Pentagon history of the Vietnam War known as the Pentagon Papers back in 1971, said on the conference call Tuesday.
Manning is held at the Army Midwest Joint Regional Correctional Facility at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. He was transferred there in April after advocates complained about conditions of his incarceration at the Marine brig at the Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va.

City News
Prairie burning to take place in West Des Moines
Over the next six months, the City of West Des Moines Public Services Department will be conducting prescribed prairie burns on City-owned property in the following areas:
- Southwoods Park
- Jordan Creek Trail Park
- Railroad Avenue
- Knolls Park
- Valley View Park
Parks Maintenance Supervisor Brian Fowler said the burning of prairie areas enhances the native vegetation that currently exists. "Fire will stimulate the growth of native species, such as Big Bluestem, Compass Plant and Butterfly Milkweed, as well as other pollinator species, and it stunts or eliminates weeds," he said. Although the burned areas will appear bare and blackened at first, Fowler said they will produce new growth in the spring.
Since safety is a top priority, prescribed burns will occur as weather and wind conditions allow. West Des Moines emergency services will be notified prior to burning. Residents with questions should contact the Public Services Department at 222-3450 for more information.

The Minnesota Twins staged a draft-night surprise on Monday, selecting dynamic California prep shortstop Royce Lewis with the first overall pick in the Major League Baseball draft.
Lewis, who starred at JSerra High School in San Juan Capistrano, emerged as the Twins' choice in the final hours before the draft, as they apparently struck a more slot-friendly deal with Lewis. It was expected the club would draft Louisville two-way star Brendan McKay, but apparently McKay's asking price exceeded what the Twins were willing to allocate from their bonus pool.
Lewis has top notch athleticism, as he has been clocked running the 60-yard dash in 6.64 seconds. On top of that, his power is expected to blossom and complement his ability to hit for average.
Lewis was among a quintet widely expected to go in the top five picks, but it's not believed he ever worked out for the Twins in Minnesota, unlike another prep star, Hunter Greene. Lewis may grow out of shortstop, but clubs are comfortable slotting his tools in center field, as well.
The Cincinnati Reds did not hesitate to nab Greene, whose two-way ability has commanded national attention, with the second overall pick. Greene, whose fastball is clocked at 100 mph, just missed becoming the first prep right-hander to go No. 1 overall. While he has elite power at shortstop, he's expected to pitch for Cincinnati.
Here is a look at the first round draft order:
1. Minnesota Twins (Pick value: $7,770,700)
Royce Lewis, SS, JSerra Catholic (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) HS
Comment: Has showcased the ability to play both middle infield spots, as well as in the outfield. Known for his athleticism, has been clocked running the 60-yard dash in 6.64 seconds.
2. Cincinnati Reds (Pick value: $7,193,200)
Hunter Greene, RHP, Notre Dame High (Sherman Oaks, Calif.)
Comment: Highest drafted African American since Byron Buxton was taken second overall by the Twins in 2012. Another two-way standout, but a fastball that has been clocked at 100 mph will probably land him on the mound.
3. San Diego Padres (Pick value: $6,668,100)
4. Tampa Bay Rays (Pick value: $6,153,600)
5. Atlanta Braves (Pick value: $5,707,300)
6. Oakland Athletics (Pick value: $5,303,000)
7. Arizona Diamondbacks (Pick value: $5,016,300)
8. Philadelphia Phillies (Pick value: $4,780,400)
9. Milwaukee Brewers (Pick value: $4,570,000)
10. Los Angeles Angels (Pick value: $4,376,800)
11. Chicago White Sox (Pick value: $4,199,200)
12. Pittsburgh Pirates (Pick value: $4,032,000)
13. Miami Marlins (Pick value: $3,875,800)
14. Kansas City Royals (Pick value: $3,727,600)
15. Houston Astros (Pick value: $3,588,200)
16. New York Yankees (Pick value: $3,458,600)
17. Seattle Mariners (Pick value: $3,333,200)

It would be far more reassuring to students if medical information here was presented in correct English.
Take a look at the unnecessary apostrophe in the word 'cell's' on this page: http://www.livestrong.com/midget-bipolar-cells/. A quick grammar/spellcheck would have picked that up.
"midget bipolar cells medical dictionary
"Bipolar cell's in the inner nuclear layer of the retina that synapse with individual cone cell's in the outer plexiform layer; other larger bipolar cell's in the inner nuclear layer synapse with both rod and cone cell's; the axons of both types synapse in the inner plexiform layer with the dendrites of the ganglion cell's. "
English plurals do not take an apostrophe. The apostrophe signifies possession, or belonging, e.g. John's cat, teacher's pet, the cell's nucleus. If there were more than one teacher and pet, the apostrophe goes after the s, e.g. teachers' pets; if more than one cell and nucleus, that would become 'the cells' nuclei'. But the simple plural word 'cells', in the inner nuclear layer or anywhere, does not need an apostrophe.

Calif. gov rips Perry's Texas ad as 'barely a fart'
In the battle of California vs. Texas, score one for Gov. Jerry Brown of the Golden State.
The Democrat had some choice words about a $24,000 radio ad buy from his Texas counterpart, Rick Perry. In the spot, the Republican criticizes California's business climate and encourages companies to "check out" the Lone Star state.
"It's not a serious story, guys," Brown told California reporters this week. "It's not a burp. It's barely a fart."
If Perry wants to get his attention, then Brown suggested the Texan should pony up $25 million on TV and radio. "Then I'll take him seriously," Brown said.
The Sacramento Bee has its own take on the California vs. Texas rivalry in Wednesday's editions, and there's no surprise which state that newspaper is picking. In an editorial headlined, "Pity Rick Perry," the Bee notes Texas has a high dropout rate, many people are without health insurance, and the state ranks first in the number of executions.
Oh, and one more thing, the newspaper points out: The Dallas Cowboys haven't been to a Super Bowl since 1996.
Over to you, Texas.

EA's major unethical thing, which is what initially got people to hate them, was their tendency to buy out other games companies and kill them.They quit doing that a long time ago. Nothing they're doing now is particularly bad.
Whee, more entitled BS mixed with half-truths and a couple outright lies for good measure. I can't understand people's obsession with whining about game companies making games that are successful. It's a business. Blame the consumers who buy them if you think they're so terrible, or just don't buy them and find games you do like.The only things in that video that are even remotely true are things that everyone in the industry does. Get over it.
I can understand people complaining about EA... pre-2007 or so. Considering they've published titles like Brutal Legend, Left 4 Dead (360), Amalur, Rock Band, Burnout Paradise, Mirror's Edge, Crysis 2, Shadows of the Damned, Dead Space, Alice: Madness Returns, Syndicate, etc. in recent years, it's not as if they're simply rehashing Madden and Need for Speed over and over anymore. When Larry Probst left, things really did get better.
The only reason I hated EA way back when was because of how they treated their employees. They got better.I'm not sure about the current situation, but Activision seems to be far and away the worst in that respect right now.

"D59's Got Talent" Wows the Audience
"I think that the reason for its success is largely due to the fact that, though the Foundation sponsors this event, it is not about us; it is about the kids. The students are the stars, the emcees are their teachers (all D59 alumni), and the crew that works and sits with the students, and is backstage cuing and encouraging them, are all high school and college alumni. When they receive their award, it is from a teacher or staff member who, just like them, was a student in CCSD59 schools. It is a celebration of the students. Kids are always the recipe for success, because they are why we are doing what we do."
-Jayne Wilkins-Scott, D59 Foundation Member and D59's Got Talent Organizer
The fourth annual D59's Got Talent event, sponsored by the D59 Education Foundation, brought together both classical performance arts and more alternative talents. As in former years, there was a variety of talent on display at the show, including: piano, violin, vocal solos and groups, ballet, dance, gymnastics, tap-dance performances, demonstrations of rhythm pen-tapping, rubik's cube, magic, and light-up hula hooping.
This year's top three award winners were:
- 1st Place: Jenevieve Campise, first grader at John Jay, who performed with a glowing hula hoop to "Cha Cha Slide" by DJ Casper
- 2nd Place: Jenice Ryoo, fifth grader at Forest View, who played "La Fileuse-At the Spinning Wheel" by Burgmuller on the piano
- 3rd Place: Mikayla Walsh, fifth grader at Juliette Low, who sang "Eyes Wide Open" by Sabrina Carpenter
The talents of the students off the stage were also prominently featured at the show. The beautiful artistry of students who donated their original art pieces to help raise money was another highlight of the evening. The winner of the "cover contest" this year for designing the program cover was Sara Hromada, a third grader from Clearmont.
Former CCSD59 students played a huge role in the event, acting as emcees, volunteers, and set-up crew. Retired teachers and administrators and parents of CCSD59 alum helped with judging, acted as stage crew, and helped create all of the bountiful raffle baskets. Community partners made considerable donations for raffle prizes and participant gift bags.
"We have a lot more donations this year from new and different businesses," said Wilkins-Scott. "We even had several of the new ones ask us to be sure to keep them in mind for future donations, because they wanted to donate to our district. That speaks volumes!"
Kids are always the recipe for success, because they are why we are doing what we do.
– Jayne Wilkens-Scott
While the final tally of profits from the show are not available yet, Wilkins-Scott said the event had raised $1,400 in ticket pre-sales alone. All proceeds from the event will be used by the foundation to fund grant requests, which directly benefit the district's students. Grant requests that have been funded by the proceeds from previous years have varied greatly, from allowing students to see a live theater performance to providing additional equipment to adding more books to the school library.
As is the case every year, the biggest highlight of the event was provided by the students themselves, who stood out not only for the hard work they put into their performances, but for their excellent behavior throughout the event. Wilkins-Scott said the pre-show rehearsal went seamlessly because the students "were all so cooperative, respectful, and followed directions, it was just perfect." From their creative costume decisions to the support and kindness they showed by cheering their competition, the students truly took ownership of the event and were the stars of the show.
Wilkins-Scott says that being part of this event also inspires the students to perform their best, and they work hard to improve and refine their talents so they can come back and perform again. Five students at this year's show are repeat performers, and the students expressed how much they enjoyed coming back again to share their talents on stage.
"Nothing makes me happier than putting together an event that will be a special memory in the lives of students involved," Wilkins-Scott said. "Knowing that the Foundation is able to turn this excitement into a way to provide special learning experiences in classrooms throughout District 59 is very gratifying."

Flexibility: take the right action, rapidly
To stay ahead of the competition, knowledge and insight are essential but you also need the business agility to change the focus of your business when new opportunities come along. The ability to take rapid action when the unexpected happens requires software that makes change possible, quickly.
Balancing inventory across multiple sites and divisions, finding a new component supplier, or re-routing a service engineer. Expanding operations into a new market, acquiring a supplier, or changing a major product line. Business challenges big and small all require enterprise software that makes change possible without pause or disruption.
We believe that flexibility, vision and knowledge are the foundations of business agility. We'll be exploring how you can achieve all three on these pages.

Pier 21
2100 Harborside Dr.Galveston, TX 77550Leasing Information: (409)763-5806
Pier 21 is a waterfront entertainment and dining area located on Galveston's historic harbor in The Historic Strand Seaport Area.
Pier 21 offers a variety of attractions, restaurants, and lodging at the pier's exclusive hotel and marina, Harbor House.
Mitchell Historic Properties owns and preserves approximately one-fourth of the buildings in The Historic Strand Seaport Area including Pier 21.
Harbor House
Overlooking Galveston Harbor with window views of cruise ships and the famous Tall Ship ELISSA, is the Harbor House, a harbor view hotel and nine-slip marina located at Galveston's Pier 21.
Restaurants at Pier 21 offer views of Galveston's historic working harbor. While dining, visitors will often see cruise ships, harbor tours, shrimp boats, and tug boats hard at work as well as frequent dolphin and marine wildlife sightings.
Current dining options include Willie G's Seafood and Steaks and Olympia Grill at Pier 21. All of the restaurants offer indoor and outdoor dining.
Harbor Adventures
BayWatch Dolphin Tours is located on Pier 21 and only a short walk from the historic Strand District in Downtown Galveston. The 34-foot boat offers a covered interior and is considered a dolphin safe tour boat. Baywatch Tours offers daily 45-minute tours that allows guests to view the dolphins in their natural habitat during an informational tour of the harbor.
Texas Seaport Museum's 50-foot twin-engine motor vessel, the SEAGULL II, is fast, stable, sheltered, and built specifically for harbor sight-seeing excursions and education. The boat is U.S. Coast Guard certified and her operators are fully licensed and knowledgeable about the history and lore of her home waters. An open upper deck affords a full panorama of water and sky.
Jet Boat Thrill Ride provides an exhilarating adventure in the Texas sun and the chance to experience the "Hamilton Spin," a maneuver that rotates the boat 360° on its axis while throwing a wall of water into the air. Riders will also experience the thrill of sharp right angle turns and accelerated speeds that will result in the boat ride of a lifetime.
Visitors to the Ocean Star have the opportunity to explore an actual retired jack-up drilling rig. The museum features three floors of models and interactive displays illustrating the story of offshore oil and gas from seismic technology to exploration and production. Scale models of production platforms, actual drill bits and remotely-operated vehicles (ROVs) as well as videos and exhibits explain drilling, geology, seismic, well servicing and production.
Located in the historic port of Galveston, the Texas Seaport Museum tells the story of a rich legacy of seaborne commerce and immigration. Visitors may look for ancestors on its computer database containing the names of more than 133,000 immigrants who entered the United States through Galveston, "'The Ellis Island of the West." The Texas Seaport Museum is also home to Galveston Harbor Tours which offers a one hour historic harbor and dolphin watch tour.
Pier 21 Theater is a family friendly venue that offers three documentary films for history buffs and curious visitors alike. The movies highlight the major events of Galveston Island including the 1900 storm that ravaged the island and chronicles of Galveston's beloved pirate history.
Mosquito Fleet Berth
Located where Jean Lafitte's pirate ships (1815-21) and the Republic of Texas Navy (1836-40s) once sailed, the Galveston Mosquito Fleet now calls the historic dock at Pier 19 home. Galveston Wharves & Cotton Press Company chartered and built the early dock in 1854. Galveston Bay was a key point during the Civil War. In 1863, Confederate marine assaults around the bay freed the island of Federal occupation. During the roaring '20s, rum runners called the Pier home. Throughout the decades and the changing times, the Mosquito Fleet continued to dock at Pier 19 and enriched not only the city, but also the nation with a blend of Asian and European fishing customs.
To this day, the international custom of blessing the fishing fleet is an annual tradition in Galveston. The name Mosquito Fleet comes from the boats' insect-like profiles and the swarming resemblance the ships take on as they head out to open water. Made up of about 75 boats, the flotilla of ships leaves the harbor between midnight and dawn to shrimp or fish around the island, returning by sunset accompanied by flocks of sea birds hoping for an easy meal.

Gibson Galleries and The Long Room
A WORLD IN CRISIS! The divide between rich and poor creates conflict. A culture of surveillance and data mining defines our existence. Innocence can become cruelty at the click of a button. Has the line between good and evil ever been less clear? Can we take the heroes and villains of our time at face value or should we not judge a book by its cover? Since the dawn of great storytelling, exemplified by Homer's epic poem The Iliad, we have sought to fulfil our need for heroes in answer to villainy. What does a hero look like and what makes a villain? When does hero worship turn to vilification? How does a sporting hero like Roy Keane compare with the ancient warrior Achilles?
Drawn from the Crawford Art Gallery Collection HEROES & VILLAINS invites you to question archetypes and asks you to look and look again, to fact-find and test the credentials of a wide range of characters. This is not always black and white as the shades of context, viewpoint, and representation colour our judgment.

Today started with the child restraint manufacturers session. Mostly, we heard about revisions to existing products and manuals. There really wasn't much for new products. At least one of these new products was just announced in a press release, so hopefully I can say more about it in this space very soon! I suspect the new products I hoped to discuss will be on display at the ABC Kids Expo in September. Heather and I will be there as media attendees, so hopefully we will have much more interesting news and photos to share then!
In the mean time, I'll discuss what the representative from Chicco USA had to say about some of the most common issues they hear about on the customer service line.

Search the collection database.
The crown jewel of the museum's Japanese art holdings is its collection of more than 10,000 Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, approximately half of which were donated by James A. and Mari Michener. In the collection are many masterworks by Kitagawa Utamaro, Katsushika Hokusai, and the world's largest collection of prints designed by Utagawa Hiroshige. Due to their fragility and sensitivity to light, woodblock print displays are changed every two months in the Robert F. Lange Foundation Gallery of Japanese Woodblock Prints (Gallery 21).
Michener, a prominent novelist famous for such works as Tales From the South Pacific and Hawaii, began collecting Japanese prints in the 1950s and wrote several books and articles on the subject, including The Floating World (1954), one of the first book-length studies of Japanese prints published in English. During this time, the author considered building a small collection of ukiyo-e. Yet his collecting did not truly begin until Mrs. Georgia Forman of Buffalo, New York, an old friend whom he had not seen for 25 years, bequeathed to him her small "choice" collection of Japanese ukiyo-e prints. She entrusted Michener with her collection because of the love for prints he had expressed in The Floating World. A few years later, in 1957, Michener acquired the famous Charles H. Chandler Collection (4,533 prints), reputed to be one of the most complete and finest private collections in the United States. His collection continued to grow from there as he added a thousand more prints.
Michener's collection was established gradually at the museum. His prints were first placed on long-term loan to the museum in the late 1950s. In 1970, then director James W. Foster established the Ukiyo-e Center in Honolulu. In 1988, Michener donated a large group of the prints. Then, in 1991, James and Mari Michener presented their remaining prints to the museum, resulting in a total donation of more than 5,000 prints.
Robert F. Lange Foundation support of
conservation and online collection
In 1991, the museum established a conservation program with generous funding by the Robert F. Lange Foundation, which annually supports this critical activity. The partnership between the Lange Foundation, a Hawai'i-based non-profit foundation, and the Honolulu Museum of Art permits the museum to systematically attend to the needs of such an important collection—the stabilization, preservation, and public display of several thousand woodblock prints—and has resulted in the conservation of thousands of prints.
In 2010, the museum launched this digital database of the Japanese woodblock print collection, the result of a three-year project sponsored by the Lange Foundation. Thanks to the foundation, more than 6,000 woodblock prints are currently available online, with plans to make the entire collection available to the public in the future.

I love it and so does my cat. I thought I would use it indoors so she could get used to it. Turns out she loves it. She keeps going in it and sleeping and playing. Thank you for thinking of it.
This was easy to get on my cat and she took to it right away. Stylish and functional. This is a great value.
Love the grooming set and would recommend it to anyone. The curveD sIssors are the best for grooming.
Bought for one cat, but it was too small, which was my fault. Very well made. Used it on another cat and worked well.
Our puppies saw a similar toy at someone else's house and enjoyed it so much. I searched for one like it on the internet and found these. We needed two for our two pups. They love these and so far they are holding up very well where other toys have just been chewed up.
My cat loves her Cat tent, sHe has played in it its been too hot to put outside.
This blanquet is very soft not too Warm Perfect for cool summer night
My Kitty has found a friend in the Laser, she loves to chase it for hours. she DOESN'T get bored keeps her entertained day after day.
Our new puppy did not like her crate at all. She loves this pop-up "home".....
As soon as set up the pet tent my two cats were fighting over who was going to be in the tent. Amazing worth every penny.
We have had several cats walk with a harness. Our last cat was not harness trained and wanted to go where he wanted. This is the only harness he can not get out of. I am very happy with it.

We needed a harness to start training for walking on a leash with our Bengal kitten. i ordered a small and was afraid we would have to wait for her to grow into it. To my surprise, it fit beautifully right away and now almost 2 months later, still fits great. it is a good safety harness since she cannot easily back out of it. I am very happy with this purchase.
My kitten seems very comfortable in this harness. He wears it continually and hasnt had any issues with it pulling his fur or twisting around him. Highly recomend this harness for cats

Very good PRODUCT.

GRilli3D is a company making an interesting product called GRilli, a special film overlay in the form of something very similar to a screen protector that turns a 2D display of a normal device into a 3D-capable autostereoscopic 3D screen. Currently the GRilli is available for sale only for Apple iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, but the way that the film overlay works can be applied to other devices as well (and versions for other devices are already in the works). The format that the 3D content needs to be stored in and displayed in order to work with the GRilli filters is stereoscopic vertical column interlace, so you can easily convert 3D photos and videos in it if you have them in Side by Side format for example. There is also a free application available on the AppStore to demonstrate how would a game work in stereo 3D mode with GRilli overlayed on an iOs device and the source code for that application is also available for developers and there is also a Unity 3D game engine plugin for using the Grilli filters. Also the CineXPlayer application for iOS-based devices has support for the Grilli 3D film overlay, so you can use this player for better quality when playing back vertical column interlaced 3D videos and you can also play Side by Side videos with it. Furthermore the CineXPlayer also supports 2D to 3D conversion of videos on iPad, so you wan take advantage of this feature as well.
The installation of the GRilli overlay filter on a compatible device is very similar to putting a screen protector on your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, the only difference is that you need to open a special calibration image on the device in order to stick the plastic filter correctly and have the best effect. You can download some sample images and videos in the correct format for viewing from the Grilli3D website as well as the free GRilli SESCA application from the AppStore. You can get the from Amazon or from C3D Stereo. The price of the 3D film overlay is $14.99 USD for the iPod Touch and the iPhone version and $29.99 USD for the iPad version.
Now, there is one very important question that you are probably going to ask about the GRilli 3D filter, due to the fact that it is not that easily removable after being applied, and that is what happens to the ability to display normal 2D content when you apply the filter on your device. The good news is that the device remains capable of pretty much normal use in 2D mode, the textual content is mildly impaired, as single pixel text may need zooming for clarity. There is also a faint "rainbow" effect, but otherwise the use of the device is not limited by the GRilli in 2D mode and you get to play some cool stereo 3D content on your mobile Apple devices without the need of wearing any kinds of 3D glasses. Of course the 3D image would be with half horizontal resolution due to the way that the filter works by creating a sort of horizontal barrier between pixels (Grilli3D calls it "Corrected and Convergent" barrier system), but since the iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad do offer quite high resolution, especially the models with the Retina display that should not be that much of an issue. And don't forget that due to the way that the GRilli 3D overlay filters function you are going to be able to use your device in autostereoscopic 3D mode only in a Landscape orientation and not when in portrait mode.
– You can visit Grilli3D's website for more information about the product…

Comments: Felix Kirk Zollicoffer (Nee: ) | TN United States | 1851-1900 | Comments: Felix Kirk Zollicoffer, Slave owner & General of Confederate Army: On the 9th of December Zollicoffer, who had advanced from Cumberland Ford, crossed the Cumberland River at Mill Springs. About the 1st of January Major-general George B. Crittenden, who had been assigned by President Davis to that district, reached Zollicoffer's head-quarters and assumed command. Two columns of the enemy were in motion, one under Thomas against the Confederate left, the other under Schoepf to attack in front. Crittenden resolved to anticipate them, and take them in detail, attacking Thomas first. At midnight of January 18th he marched out of his intrenchments, and on the next day fought the disastrous battle of Fishing Creek, in which the brave Zollicoffer was killed.

Browns agree to terms with QB Brian Hoyer, Cleveland native played for Cardinals in 2012
CLEVELAND – The Browns have agreed to terms on a two-year contract with former Arizona quarterback Brian Hoyer.
Hoyer, cut earlier this week by the Cardinals, is expected to compete for a backup job behind either Brandon Weeden or Jason Campbell. The Browns also have third-stringer Thaddeus Lewis on their roster.
Hoyer, who is from the Cleveland area, has made just one career start in four NFL seasons. After playing at Michigan State, Hoyer signed with New England in 2009 and spent three seasons behind Tom Brady. He signed with Pittsburgh before being released and was claimed off waivers by the Cardinals.
Earlier Thursday, Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said he was pleased with the progress of his quarterbacks, but did not rule out bringing another one in for training camp.

An eating disorder is a serious condition characterized by typical or extreme eating behaviors and can include significant distress regarding one's body weight or shape. At least 30 million people in the United States suffer from an eating disorder at some point in their life. It can often disrupt the person's life and lead to tragic psychological and medical consequences. Eating disorders have the highest death rate of all mental disorders, and research has shown that one person dies as a result of an eating disorder every hour. Eating disorders can happen to anyone of any age, gender, race, ethnicity, or class.
The Diagnostical and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) has identified specific eating disorders and their symptoms in order to help professionals effectively identify and treat these conditions. Below is a list of the types eating disorders, with the first three being the most common:
Eating disorders are complex conditions that are often the result of many different factors. It is important for loved ones to know that they are not the cause, and that an eating disorder develops from a multitude of factors unique to each person. They can include:
Although the focus seems to be on food, eating disorders are about much more than food. Individuals who suffer from eating disorders are often highly sensitive, so they might experience feelings, events, and major life changes more intensely. The food might be a way for the individual to cope with overwhelming emotions or stress and can provide a temporary distraction. Additionally, it may be a way for an individual to communicate or express their emotional experiences to others.
Center For Discovery Fairfax, VA specializes in treating eating disorders and the co-occurring conditions that are accompanied with them, with unique treatment programs for every individual to get them on their way to eating disorder recovery.
For more information, resources, or to consult with an eating disorder treatment specialist, call 866482.3876
Eating disorders can lead to life-threating medical and psychological consequences, and they often co-exist with other conditions, such as depression or anxiety. If an individual is struggling with an eating disorder, it is difficult for them to recover without professional help. Only about one third of people with an eating disorder ever receive treatment, and 87% of adolescents with one go untreated. Experts have found that early intervention can significantly improve an individual's chance of recovery. With help from a team of specialists, an individual with an eating disorder can be successfully treated with long-term recovery.
